Teen Wolf s04e04 Episode Script

The Benefactor

Previously on Teen Wolf Hello, Sean.
I just killed your family.
Lydia wrote these? You got kicked out, didn't you? That's good.
You kissed her.
Get back! When you take the bite of an innocent, I will come knocking at your door.
Hey, let's get everyone off the roof.
And see if you can stall the ME for five minutes.
I've got an expert of my own coming to take a look.
You have an expert on teenage cannibals? Five minutes, Parrish.
Hey.
Uh, I guess you've been there long enough to hear we need to be quick about this.
Scott said he caught himself a wendigo.
Cannibalistic shape-shifters.
But I haven't heard of them in Beacon Hills for a long time.
Must have been well-hidden.
How many people did Scott say were up here? Just Sean and the axe-murderer who apparently has no mouth.
You wouldn't know anything about that, would you? There was someone else.
Someone young.
And male.
You can smell his fear? And his blood.
Like I said, I told my dad everything I could.
But you didn't tell him about Liam? You barely told me about Liam.
- What did you do with him anyway? - He's upstairs.
Doing what? Lying down.
- So you bit him.
- Yeah.
- And you kidnapped him.
- Yeah.
- And brought him here.
- I panicked.
Yup.
This isn't going to end with us burying the pieces of his body out in the desert, is it? As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans.
- Your plans suck.
- I know.
Which is why I called you.
So, what do we do? Liam, we're going to take the tape off your mouth.
If you scream, it goes right back on.
If you talk quietly, it stays off.
Got it? Okay.
Okay, Liam, now you've seen a lot of confusing things tonight.
And more confusing things are going to happen because of the confusing things that happened tonight.
Do you understand? Not really.
- Good.
That's good.
- I don't understand either.
Maybe you should tell him.
Tell me what? Liam What happened to you, what I did to you, which I had to do in order to save you, - it's going to change you.
- Unless it kills you.
Shouldn't have said that.
What? Uh Uh-oh.
Oh-oh.
Is he Is he crying? Liam, it's okay.
You're going to be all right.
You're not going to die.
- Probably not.
- Stop it.
Okay, possibly not.
Would you just help me untie him? Liam? Are you okay? We're sorry about that.
We're really sorry.
Liam, what the hell is your Ah.
Get him.
Leg! I got him! I got him! I got him, I got him! Your plan sucked, too.
Derek, you here? Derek! Derek Don't worry, Peter.
Derek's next.
I hate full moons.
It's going to get easier.
I promise.
It better.
Because this isn't going to hold much longer.
Well, then let's try and make tonight the last time we have to use these.
Besides, we might need them for Liam.
You guys sure he's going to turn into a werewolf? We're not even sure if he's going to live.
- Is that too tight? - No.
Hey.
Um That's This is not what you think at all.
I don't even want to know.
There is nothing to know, 'cause I just I don't get it.
Told him that.
These are your math notes? No wonder Malia's failing.
Um, some of them are my notes.
The rest I think might actually be a code.
But you don't remember writing it? Not in the slightest.
But considering my drawing of a tree led us to the Nemeton, I should probably figure out what it means before it tries to kill us.
Maybe it's like the Enigma Code the Allies used.
Remember my dad was a World War II buff? And my mom was, well In it.
I think it's a variation on something called the Vigènere Cipher.
- Do you know how to crack it? - With a key.
Remember the rules.
No more than six people allowed in the lake house.
Stay out of the wine.
And if anything gets broken, it's getting added to your credit card debt.
Fine.
And lock up the basement.
From all the scratch marks I found on the walls, it looked like a pack of wild animals got down there.
I'm not watching another movie on a Friday night.
Mason, there's gotta be something going on.
You remember we're freshmen, right? We just got off a school bus.
We're not exactly gonna be hitting the clubs till 4:00 a.
m.
Okay.
Movie at your place.
9:00.
Hey.
Liam, why weren't you on the bus? I ran.
You ran three miles to school? Yeah.
I just started running.
So I guess your leg's okay? What happened to your arm? Dude, are you okay? I'll talk to you later.
I gotta get to class.
Liam, hey! We need to talk.
No, you need to back the hell up, okay? Both of you.
Can you just listen for one second.
Please? Liam We're brothers now.
- What? - Oh, God.
That's What are you talking about? We just met and you bit me.
The bite The bite is a gift.
Scott, stop.
Please stop.
You, you, we're trying to help you, you little runt.
By kidnapping me? Just to clarify, Scott kidnapped you.
Okay? I aided and abetted.
Liam, I've gone through this before.
Something's happening to you.
Something big.
Nothing's happening to me.
Nothing.
I'm not sharing my basement.
Actually, it's my basement.
And my mom noticed how you tore it up last time.
All right, she's still learning.
But, we're going to use the boathouse for Liam.
It's got support beams.
We can chain him to one of them.
But how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us? I say if it keeps him from murdering someone we chloroform the little bastard and throw him in the lake.
- I'm in.
- We're not killing or kidnapping him.
Then let's be smarter.
We tell him there's a party and invite him.
- So, you're going to ask out a freshman? - No, I'm done with teenage boys.
But, if we're playing a trick on someone, we'll have to use the trickster.
Who? Me? No way.
- Not me.
- Yes, you.
You know what they call a female fox? - A vixen.
- Me? You can do it, Kira.
Be a vixen.
Liam.
Liam.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Fine.
You want to go to a party tonight? The axe was laced with wolfsbane.
I don't know the species so I'm going to have to burn it out.
I think I can handle a little fire.
Ah, hell.
He said he was after you.
How does a guy with no mouth say anything? With this.
It's Lydia Martin's lake house.
Actually, it's her grandmother's lake house.
But she's dead, so it's okay.
I mean, it's not okay that she's dead.
Unless she was in pain.
Can you turn the music down? You want me to turn the music up? Who'd you say was coming to this party? Um Everyone.
I just talked to Kira.
She's on her way.
She said it's all going fine.
It's not that.
I have to tell you something.
I asked around about Liam.
I know why he got kicked out of his last school.
This is going to be bad, isn't it? He kind of got into it with one of his teachers.
And The kid's got some serious anger issues.
How serious? Well, that's his teacher's car.
After he took a crowbar to it.
- Where is everyone? - They're here.
It's a small party.
You said everyone was coming.
They are.
They're late.
And we're early.
So we better hurry.
Yay! Party.
Sorry.
What the hell is this? Think of it like an intervention.
You have a problem, Liam.
And we're the only ones that can help.
I still don't get how this guy has no mouth.
How can he eat? Peter didn't get a chance to ask.
He was fighting him off with a tomahawk buried in his chest.
Who runs around with a tomahawk? I carried one for IED removal in Afghanistan.
It's military.
And so is that.
Do you know what it's used for? Well, this one looks like it's been modified.
Show us.
Werewolf? Werecoyote.
Banshee.
- Fox? - Kitsune.
But fox works.
What are you? Uh, for a little while, I was possessed by an evil spirit.
It was very evil.
What are you now? Better.
Um Are those for me? No, they're for me.
How did you do that? You'll learn.
But first, you need to get through the full moon.
The moon's already out.
And you're starting to feel something, aren't you? I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of psychotic nutjobs.
You guys are out of your freaking minds.
I don't know how you did that eye thing and I don't care.
I'm walking out the door right now! If any of you try to stop me, I swear to God, I'm gonna What's wrong? Liam? You don't hear that? Did you tell someone about this? My friend Mason.
You said it was a party.
- Who did Mason invite? - Everyone.
The floors! Get him off the floors! We need to get him to the boathouse.
Now! Uh! - Stiles - Yeah.
Hey Okay, basement.
Now.
Now.
What am I supposed to do with the hordes gathering outside the door? Lydia, who throws the best parties in Beacon Hills? What? Me, obviously.
Okay, then throw a party.
Hey.
Uh, are we in the right place? For the party? Absolutely.
Okay, I think I got an IP address.
That means we can find him, right? Definitely.
Especially if What was that? I think I found a message.
Does anyone recognize the handle "Benefactor"? Money transferred.
What does that mean? That means this guy is not just a killer.
He's an assassin.
I got him.
Get his hands.
Oh, God.
I didn't kill him, did I? No.
He's out cold.
I hope Stiles is having better luck.
- Too tight? - Tighter.
You can leave if you want.
I'm not going anywhere.
And to be honest, I'm probably safer down here than in a party with fifty freshmen and a very pissed off Lydia.
Okay, I didn't order a keg of beer.
- Especially not domestic.
- Somebody ordered it.
Are you trying to tell me nobody here wants to drink? Who put this here? This laptop is $2000 and Oh, that bottle of wine is 400.
How much? What's this extra hundred dollars? I call that the "Yes, you do look 21 to me" surcharge.
Let me get you some cash.
I opened the wine.
I should probably pay for the keg.
He looks so young.
He is.
He's only fifteen.
What are we going to do with him? We're going to help him.
What if he doesn't want our help? He will.
Stiles, please go.
It's okay.
I hate parties.
It's a social anxiety thing.
You ever had a panic attack? I'm having one now.
Ah! Just breathe, okay.
I'm not going to leave you.
What if I hurt you? - You're not going to.
- But I want to.
Uh! I look at your face and I want to slash at it.
I want to tear at it.
I want to feel your bones crack between my hands.
Surprisingly enough, you're not the first person to ever say something like that.
I'm not leaving you.
And I'm not going to let you hurt anyone.
Ah! You're not going to have a choice.
Oh, come on.
You got to be kidding me.
Son of a bitch.
Son of a Three things cannot be long hidden.
The sun, the moon, the truth.
Three things cannot be long hidden.
The sun, the moon, the truth.
Three things cannot be long hidden.
The sun, the moon, the truth.
The sun, the moon, the truth.
What are you smiling about? Our friend just sent me a text.
Liam? You up here? Dude, where the hell are you? What are you doing up here? The party's downstairs.
I was looking for Liam.
Sorry, but missing freshmen are a little low on my priority list.
But not so low you don't know he's a freshman? I might have seen your friend.
Downstairs.
Oh, my God, the carpet No, God, no.
Hey, it's all right.
It'll come out.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
- Was it valuable? - No.
That's the problem.
Nothing in here's valuable.
We just put the house on the market.
It was supposed to be left without a scratch.
It has to be in perfect condition.
We need every penny we can get out of this place.
Okay, let me go get some club soda and salt.
Lydia, it'll come out.
It will.
Okay.
Soundproof? What? I can hear the music from the house.
- What are they playing? - Electronic.
I wish they still played slow songs at parties.
At my old school we used to at least have a few.
Why do you like the slow ones? I was always better at slow dancing.
Come here.
What about him? He can dance with me next time.
So how are you so good at staying in control on a full moon? A lot of it's about making sure that my pulse doesn't get too fast.
And my heart rate doesn't go up.
So you've mastered it? It still takes a lot of concentration.
So if something distracts you I'm indistractable.
Nothing.
Then why are your eyes glowing? Cheater.
I also just heard you growl.
That wasn't me.
Are those chains going to hold him? Uh.
Yeah.
I think.
Definitely.
He can't be that strong Okay, Malia, I know you can hear me.
Just listen to my voice.
Listen to mine.
Run! You know, just because this guy connected to the school's WiFi, doesn't mean he's still here.
True.
But I've seen enough in this school to keep my gun in hand when walking in after dark.
Like blood.
That doesn't make sense.
- Yeah, no kidding.
- That's not what I mean.
I should've caught the scent before we walked in.
Hold on.
You nervous makes me nervous.
It's an explosive.
A claymore.
Get down! I'm not going to run.
Because I don't think you're going to hurt me.
And I think maybe you're so afraid of hurting me because of what you did to your family.
I know what that's like.
I remember everything I did.
And the worst part is I remember liking it.
Because I felt powerful.
I felt fearless.
And most of all, in control.
But when I came through it, I learned something else Control is overrated.
You did it.
Liam Liam, wait.
- Stop.
- What did you do to me? - Liam - This is your fault.
It's all your fault! This is your fault! Ah! How did you know? I got your text.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say, can and will be used against you in the court of law.
You've the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one No, Peter, no! We've learned a better way.
I'm a creature of habit.
There's a clearing just north of here.
All you have to do is corral him there.
The rest is taken care of.
What are you going to do? He's your Beta, Scott.
The better question is what are you going to do? He won't listen to me.
He will if you start using your own words.
Here.
Go.
What's happening to me? The same thing that happened to me.
Lydia? Has anyone seen Lydia? Hey.
Lydia? Are you okay? What do you hear? The key.
The key to break the code.
They can't know about this.
My mom, my stepdad, I can't do this to them again.
What do you mean again? I got kicked out of school and I deserved it.
The way they looked at me when they saw what I did to that car Liam, it's okay.
They can't see me like this.
Like a monster? You're not a monster.
You're a werewolf.
Like me.
What is this? It's a list of supernaturals in Beacon Hills.
It's a dead pool.
And we're all on it.
