MTV ♪
They should be scared.
That thing is out there
killing your friends.
I know who you are.
I know your name.
Can you remember your name?
I can help you.
You need to remember who you are.
You have to remember your name.
Your name is
Aah!
I can't.
I can't, I can't.
I-I can't.
I can't!
I can't stop it.
Stop what?
Stop what?
It!
From hurting people.
It hurts people every night.
Doesn't hurt people. It kills them.
It kills every night.
I know. It's not me!
I can see it happen.
I can feel it.
I'm not the one doing it.
I wouldn't do this.
I wouldn't.
Everett, he can't stop himself.
Everyone around you
he'll kill them all.
And then he'll come for you.
But we're a part of his pack.
Not if you make him angry.
Not if he doesn't like you anymore.
Then you're just another threat.
But he needs a pack.
He doesn't need you.
He can always make new ones.
Who's next, Phoebe?
Who's he gonna kill next?
What the hell are you
doing? Don't you have school?
Are you all right?
Harlan?
Luna? Guys, wait
I think the blur that just drove past me
was Harlan and Luna.
Late for school.
- Did you need to talk to Harlan?
- I did.
But I'll settle for you.
Checking up on me?
Maybe.
I'm fine.
I know you are.
And I also know what
you did was difficult.
Remember, I was a parent, too.
I can bring Harlan by to talk,
since he's involved with Cyrus.
You want a lawyer.
I get it.
Whatever makes you comfortable.
Personally, I know
Harlan had nothing to do
with setting the fire, but
I'd want to be careful, too.
Especially if it was my son.
Oh, I think this is yours.
Lab techs found it on the ground.
I actually thought it was
a silver bullet at first.
Nickel-plated brass.
But I did love "The Lone
Ranger" when I was a kid.
Bring Harlan to my office
when you get a chance.
You won't need a lawyer.
I promise.
I'll protect him as if
he was one of my own.
Fuck!
All right.
Listen, mijo. We're
checking out of this dump.
No more motel.
I have to go talk to the manager,
and while I do that, I
want you to go to the room
and start gathering
your shit your stuff.
- You got it?
- Got it.
Danny, I'm trusting you.
I'm gonna watch you walk
straight to the room.
Got it.
I'll be there in ten minutes, okay?
Ten minutes.
And close the door behind you,
and you don't open for
anyone except me or Blake.
Ten minutes.
Blake?
Blake?
He was here.
She was below him on
the stairs, right here.
Where were you?
At first, over there,
behind the counter.
What were you doing over there?
- Hiding.
- Hiding?
Yeah. He was fucking scary.
If you woke up with a
naked guy in your room,
- you wouldn't be scared?
- No.
Was he actually here or not?
It's more like he's in my head.
Or I'm in his.
But why are you in our brother's head?
How should I know?
It's the same way we
were connected to Everett
when we could feel his anxiety.
That's not the same.
Then it's the same as last night.
I didn't wanna kill Garrett, but
that's what we were all
about to do, isn't it?
She's right.
I wanted to kill your dad,
like, fucking rip his throat out.
That's in your head, not mine.
I was angry at Garrett
because he gave Cyrus to the cops.
I don't wanna kill him.
Baron wants us to stop him.
I think we could even figure
out how to change him back.
But if he kills Austin tonight,
it's because of us.
You sure it's gonna be him?
It was the same music he
was playing on the piano.
Austin's next.
I don't care how much of a dick he is
we have to do something.
Like what?
Maybe we could lure Baron
somewhere and catch him.
Then we have to figure out
how to turn him back to human.
We just found out silver bullets work.
Maybe something else does.
So you wanna hunt down
and catch a werewolf?
Yeah.
For real?
Let's catch a werewolf.
They couldn't cover her up?
We're waiting for the M.E. to get here.
Where's Blake Navarro?
They're talking to the
father and brother outside.
We need to find her.
And then we need to contact
every one of those kids
who was at that party.
You've got your arsonist, Ramsey.
This is RHD's problem now.
I've got a suspect Nothing's closed.
Look, we may have an arsonist,
but this is probably
not the first homicide.
She's just the first body we've found.
I have to go back to the motel.
We're moving into some
shitty apartment today.
I can drive. I'll borrow the car.
They let you take the car?
No.
But they will.
Oh, I hope you're on your way out.
They're doing the fire
repairs in my office today,
and I need to work here.
I was just leaving.
Wonderful.
Just give me, like, five minutes.
Is that the girl you like?
Yeah.
Are you sure she's your
type? She seems a bit rugged.
You don't know my type.
Okay, well, do me a favor.
If you're gonna be here,
go hang out in your room.
I could go without any
distractions right now.
Um, I need to borrow the car.
Absolutely not.
I need the car.
Everett, you spend ten hours a day
playing video games in your room.
I'm sure there's a zombie that
has to get shot in the head.
I don't play video games anymore.
I'm taking the car,
Mom. I'll have it back
- in a little while.
- Go to your room.
You should be nice to me.
Nice to you?
You should be nice to me.
I am nice to you.
You're not.
But you should be.
You have to let me in.
My family's in here.
- Dad!
- Hey, Blake!
Danny! Where's Danny?
He's fine. He's okay.
He's sitting in the
car. He's over there.
What the fuck happened? What did you do?
I didn't do shit. Danny
he found a body in the bathroom.
What body?
Dad, he's already gone.
Then I'm going after him.
Dad, please.
- I wanna talk about my brother.
- Harlan is
No! I meant the other one.
We can talk about him
when Harlan is here.
We don't have time.
Baron's killing people every night.
He hides the bodies somewhere.
That's why there's still
so many people missing.
That's why you're not
going anywhere tonight.
What if we could change him back?
No.
You knew how to bring Harlan back
with the myth about saying his name.
You wanna hear another myth?
When a woman has seven daughters
and the eighth child is a
man, he'll be a werewolf.
I wouldn't count on all of the myths.
Then how did you know it would work?
- I guessed.
- You guessed right.
From something I read online.
My next guess could get someone killed.
So what do the myths say about
changing someone back to human?
You mean like a cure?
Is there one?
Yeah.
The one that cures all humans
death.
Where are you going?
To find your brother.
Harlan.
Why would it bring her here?
Why bring Phoebe here?
I don't know.
But I'm gonna find Harlan,
and we're gonna figure out what to do.
'Kay.
Danny, ease up.
You're hurting my hand.
We know her. You remember her, right?
I remember.
Yeah, from the parking lot.
No. From the parking garage.
No, the lot.
Right outside the motel, over
there, when I was running.
Remember?
Okay, fine.
Parking garage
whatever you wanna call it.
Don't stare.
You know we're gonna need
to talk about this, right?
How about this time with a lawyer?
She's not being accused of a crime.
Although the fact that you and
Phoebe were such close friends
does raise a lot of questions.
So we'll bring a lawyer.
Of course.
Will you be needing a
court-appointed lawyer,
or will you be paying for one yourself?
Oh, look at that, Blake.
She's just like you.
Goes right for the throat.
I'll talk.
As long as you promise nothing
happens to my brother
I'll tell you whatever you want to hear.
I believe you.
You're not gonna believe me.
I think I might surprise
you on that subject.
Both of you.
So in order to turn Baron back to human,
we have to kill him?
The myth is it's a
biological protective measure.
It keeps their true nature secret.
So you wanna kill the werewolf
- Yeah.
- Wait for it to turn human
Uh-huh.
Then bring it back to life?
But we're not really bringing
the werewolf back to life.
Once the heart stops
and it changes to human,
we're actually bringing the human back.
How?
CPR, epinephrine, and a defibrillator.
The thing is, he has to be cold.
At super low temperatures,
the brain doesn't need as much oxygen.
So when you freeze, your heart stops,
but your brain keeps working.
You could be technically
dead for three hours
and still be brought back.
Technically dead?
The heart, but not the brain.
Think about it.
What if all we have to
do is stop Baron's heart?
What if that's dead enough?
Dead enough to change him to human,
but not so dead where he
can't be brought back to life?
Right.
Harlan, we're gonna get him out.
Baron?
No. Cyrus.
We all know he didn't do it.
And we're gonna do something about it,
but we need to do this first.
Well, actually, first
we need to figure out
how to freeze the thing.
The werewolf.
Yeah.
How about the freezer?
What freezer?
Garrett told us that Ramsey brought him
to an overflow morgue, and
they had a medical freezer.
It can go to 70 below.
Well, then all we have to do
is get Baron inside, lock the door,
and wait for him to freeze.
But how are we gonna get him inside?
You wanna use Austin as bait?
Baron's gonna kill him anyway.
Look outside, Luna.
We don't have a lot of time
before the sun goes down.
Where are you even gonna
get a shot of epinephrine?
Thanks for coming with me.
I know we've been through
this place more than once.
I was headed out to find Harlan.
He's not answering my calls.
He probably won't be
talking to me, either.
So are we here about arson
or a dead teenage girl?
Starting to think both.
Because of where the body was found?
As a park ranger, do
you know any animals
smart enough to maul someone
and then dump the body
in a bathtub at a motel
where their former best
friend happens to be staying?
As a park ranger,
I'd say that's pretty unusual
behavior for an animal.
Well, as an arson investigator,
I am not a homicide detective.
I'm gonna stick with what I know.
The fire originated here.
So if we missed something,
this is most likely
where we're gonna find it.
Does Everett know?
Yeah.
So he lied.
I don't think he wanted to.
Fuck him. I'll do it.
The whole thing?
You just said it's
gonna kill me anyways.
I'll do it.
That's it?
You don't you don't wanna
ask any questions about
No.
Actually, yeah.
I know you've had a crush on me.
But do you actually like me?
I meant questions about
This is my question.
Do you like me?
Yes.
Yes, I like you.
No, you don't.
I like you sometimes.
When I'm not a complete asshole.
Which is only sometimes.
Probably a little less than that.
You like me a little
less than sometimes?
Yes.
I'm good with that.
What's the plan?
Use it only if you have to.
If everything goes to shit.
Dude, can I get one of those?
Three vials of epinephrine.
How come you never asked about the fire
that killed my son?
I didn't ask 'cause I didn't
want to cross any boundaries.
I'll cross them.
He died with his father
who was trying to protect him.
I'm sorry.
His father was not a perfect man.
To be honest, seeing
you with Harlan and Luna
makes me realize that my son could have
used a father like you.
You did notice my kids
aren't speaking to me.
That just means you're a good parent.
They should get angry with us sometimes.
And we're allowed to get angry, too.
Malcolm!
Malcolm, wait! What
the fuck was that thing?
- It was a wolf.
- It wasn't a fucking wolf.
You can't put 50 rounds in a wolf
and then watch it stand up again.
Shut up, Nix.
Lose the fucking packs, right now!
The train tracks are up
there, through that path.
Move it!
It's still alive.
That fucking thing is still alive.
- It can't be.
- That's another wolf.
Its mate.
I see it.
Oh, God. I see it, just right there.
The ridge! Get to the ridge!
- We can't outrun her!
- If she comes out,
- we'll do it together.
- At the same time.
We take the fucking bitch down!
Malcolm!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Ramsey.
This is the one?
Yeah.
You're probably gonna
have to bust that lock.
Could I borrow that?
As long as you promise to give it back.
There's something down there.
What's that sound?
Flies.
They're coming.
You ready?
I'm not doing Lion's Breath.
I wasn't gonna ask.
Good.
It works, okay?
Give me a fucking break.
They're here.
Okay, this is good.
I feel incredibly vulnerable
and completely exposed.
Perfect.
We'll see it coming.
How far do you think it
could track me by scent?
An ordinary wolf can smell its prey
a mile and a half away.
Prey?
Like me.
I'm sorry.
I saw it take Phoebe.
I didn't see it kill her,
but it was dragging her
body over the sunroom.
And I didn't tell anyone,
because no one would believe me.
We believe you.
And by the way
I don't think you're an asshole.
I can be a total fucking asshole.
But it's not your default setting.
So all I had to do to get you like me
was be the bait for a werewolf
that's probably gonna kill me.
Can't believe I didn't
think of that first.
There's 18 of them.
You're calling it in?
I have to.
When?
What do you mean, when?
Do you have to call it in now?
You know how this works.
If you call this in, everything changes.
Homicide takes over. The feds come in.
I get pushed aside and become an advisor
to a much larger investigation
that I no longer control.
I know how it works.
Don't call it in.
I'm an officer of the law.
So am I.
What are you not telling me?
My kids can't get caught
up in something this big.
Why?
There are things that
would come out about them,
things no one knows,
and no one has to know.
What if they did?
I'd lose them.
I can't lose my kids.
Tell me.
Trust me.
Please.
I'll help you find the
person who actually did this.
I can help you.
Was it a person?
Yes.
But somehow, you're superstitious
enough to load your
gun with silver bullets,
not nickel-plated.
So let me ask this one more time.
Was it a person that did this?
Yes.
And no.
It's here.
What? How do you know that?
Oh, fuck me.
- What's it doing?
- I don't know.
So what do we do?
It's because of me.
What?
It's not coming after you because of me.
It has to see you as a threat.
Okay. What do I do?
Threaten you?
Hit me.
- What?
- I need you to hit me.
I can't do that.
If you don't do it now,
it comes back and it
kills you some other night.
Austin, please.
Hit me.
I can't do it.
You don't think I can take it?
Come on. Hit me back, asshole.
I can't.
Did that make things worse?
Run!
Go. Go!
They're coming.
Guys, it's right fucking behind me!
Everett!
Baron.
Baron.
Your name is Baron.
Harlan, come on!
Shut the fucking door!
It's gonna break through it.
Help me!
Come on, guys!
Hold it!
I hear it.
I can hear it's heart.
So can I.
- It's getting slower.
- Quiet.
- There's no pulse.
- Start CPR.
- Me?
- Anyone!
Wait, I-I need the shot.
The epi shot. Where is it?
- It's supposed to be in the bag.
- I got it.
I got it right here.
Aah!
Aah!
Everything changes now.
You trust me?
No.
Did you see Ramsey in
the parking garage too?
Everett can take care of himself.
- Let him die.
- But he's part of the pack.
There is no pack, Harlan.
If you know something,
you need to tell me.
I'm not a danger to myself.
Aah!
I'll kill anyone who threatens my pack.
I'm really good at knowing
when someone's lying.
Can you tell if I'm lying?
You asked me to trust
you. Can you trust me now?
What if she knows everything?
