[Malia has come to Stiles' hospital room to visit him]
I heard you almost got killed.
I heard you almost got killed.
You okay?
Brunski punched me in the face. Turns out, he was a serial killer.
[unfazed] Makes sense.

[Malia has come to Stiles' hospital room to visit him]
I heard you almost got killed.
I heard you almost got killed.
You okay?
Brunski punched me in the face. Turns out, he was a serial killer.
[unfazed] Makes sense.
[about Melissa] Why would she lock the door?
Maybe she didn't mean to.
You don't just accidentally lock a door.
Okay, well, maybe she wasn't thinking, exactly? Or wasn't thinking it through? You know, people sometimes do things without thinking them through.
Then she's stupid.
No, even smart people can do stupid things! You know, 'cause they think that it's the right thing. And, I don't think we should hold it against her, you know, for the rest of her life! Especially because she's tried apologizing hundreds of times through texts and voicemails...
I don't have much practice in things like forgiveness. Some things I'm picking up fast. But other things are like...
Like math?
[sighs] I hate math.
You hate me?
I like you, Stiles. I like you a lot.
[smiles] I can work with that.
I think I'm getting an idea of how all this happened. You used Brunski, right? You knew he'd killed people, and that he would do it again. He used my grandmother's code for the deadpool. He put it online. He took the money from the Hale vault, then turned the bearer bonds into cash. He made the payments. Was it Brunski's idea to fake your death? Did he get nervous because you helped us with one of the cipher keys?
I wanted to help.
All you ever wanted to do was help. Is that why you're here? I know you wouldn't want to be here if you didn't want to talk.
I do. But, only to one person.
Who?
Peter. Peter Hale.
Scott, you heard anything from Stiles or Lydia yet?
Lydia's still talking to Meredith. Stiles and Malia are headed to the lake house. They're trying to stop it.
What if there is no stopping it? What if it doesn't end until we're all dead?
Then let's send a message. Let's make something perfectly clear to anyone with a copy of that list. It doesn't matter if they're professional assassins, hunters, or an amateur with a gun: anyone who thinks they can hunt and kill us for money is gonna be put on another list-- our list. They get to be a name on our deadpool.
"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, the truth." What exactly does that mean?
The truth cannot stay hidden.
I know what the saying means. What does it mean for you?
The truth for me is that we-- my kind-- are violent creatures who eventually will not be able to control their violent impulses. The mantra helps us subdue our nature.
But you're still violent creatures.
[gives him a look] Aren't we all?
[In flashback, Peter is telepathically ranting to Meredith, who is in the bed next to him at the hospital]
I predicted this. I told Talia this was going to happen. Something like this was going to happen. I said that they were gonna come for us. The Argents, they're gonna come for us. They are gonna burn us to the ground. Burn us to the ground. Did she listen? Of course not. Did anyone listen? They listened to her. Yes! She said that everything was going to be fine. That we were all perfectly safe. Perfectly safe. But she made us weak! She made us weak. And what happens to the weakest in the herd? They get picked off by the predators! We used to be the apex predators, until Talia turned us into sheep.
[ranting in flashback] But I'll start over. Like a vengeful god, I will raze this earth to the ground. Raze this earth. I will take out all of them! Not just the wolves, but the wendigos, the banshees... every shapeshifter. I will obliterate the weak, and I will remake the supernatural of Beacon Hills in my image! I won't have to do any of it myself, because I'll hire people. Assassins. Professional killers. People like the Mute, the Chemist, even... someone like the Desert Wolf. I'll use the money in the vault, the bearer bonds. I'll use every penny if I have to. I'll start with the professionals, and then maybe I'll disseminate the list further. No. No, not a list. A deadpool. Eventually, everyone will want a chance. Anyone can become a killer for the right price, because when it comes down to it, everyone can be corrupted by money!
She was listening to you.
She was listening to the ranting and raving of a lunatic. [He realizes he just insulted himself] A former lunatic. I'm much healthier now.
Lydia's right. We don't want to kill each other.
The only person I'm pointing a gun at is you.
Then, you better make it a perfect shot, Sheriff, because I don't go down easy.
[cocks gun] I'm willing to bet that a bullet between the eyes doesn't heal real fast, even for your kind.
Stop. Please, stop.
This department's getting more corrupted by the second. What are you gonna charge me with, Sheriff? How are you going to explain this to a judge? "Telepathic girl overhears thoughts of comatose werewolf and decides to enact his plans for retribution?" Hmm. [He clicks his tongue] They're gonna be pointing a gun at your head and asking you to go quietly.
[Lydia is video-calling Stiles and Malia to figure out how to shut down the deadpool]
Lydia, what the hell does wine have to do with anything?
Red wine doesn't just disappear... Unless it wasn't wine.
What? What do you mean?
The ashes weren't ashes, the study isn't a study, the record player isn't a record player, so... So, maybe the wine wasn't wine.
Are you okay? I guess you are, aren't you? For someone who'd put their own name on a hit list...
I had to.
Why?
Because I heard you. I heard you scream in the tunnels at Oak Creek. [Lydia flashes back to when Allison was killed and she wailed for her death] That's why I knew it was the right time to start over.
But with Peter?
He's the alpha. He's always been the alpha. He'll make it right. It never was with us. Too many people die because of us. We're the monsters. Even banshees. Even me.
[shakes her head] I don't believe that. Not all monsters do monstrous things.
Like who?
Like Scott.
Like you.
You look nervous.
I'm not nervous. I'm rattled. I don't like being rattled.
But, it's over. The deadpool's done. And, if you need to be reminded, everything else is going exactly your way.
Not exactly my way.
[rolls her eyes] Maybe every little piece in your game didn't move just as predicted, but they still moved perfectly into place. [She notices his hesitance] You wanna bail on the plan.
Of course not. Not when I'm this close. Not when I'm this close to killing Scott McCall.
[Patrick Clark, a wendigo, has just abducted a woman in a body bag and has brought her to his meat freezer, which is full of bloodied knives]
It's Calissa, right? I guess you're coming to a certain conclusion-- you're not going to be leaving here. It's okay that you're scared. See, contrary to traditional culinary practices, it actually tastes better for someone like me when the kill's been frightened.
[Patrick has just surrendered to Dr. Deaton in a fight before he can kill Calissa]
Okay, wait! Stop! The deadpool's over. You're not going to get paid! It's over.
I'm not here to kill you, Patrick. I'm taking you back to Eichen House, where they know all about your "culinary practices."
