[Scott and Liam have just found Parrish passed out in the stairwell. He's wearing only his tattered and burned cut-off shorts and is covered in soot]
Parrish? Parrish, hey. Can you hear me?
[confused] How did I get here?
[awkwardly] We don't know. We just followed the burning smell.
[Theo is still trying to catch Lydia's scent in the tunnels, to no avail]
Nothing.
Great. You're just as useless as I am.
[sighs] I'm trying to help save her life!
Would you just drop all the altruistic crap? You want Lydia because she gets you to Parrish. You want Parrish because he gets you to the Beast.
So, what? I want it dead, too.
After you take its power, right? We know why you got the talons, and we know you're looking for Deucalion.
[smugly] I found Deucalion. You're right. I'm going to help Parrish stop the Beast. I'm going to take its power, and then I'm gonna break its neck. So, maybe I'm not the good guy in your eyes, but I might end up being the guy who saves all your asses.
[Valack is trying to get Lydia to focus as he prepares to put the mask on her down in the basement of Eichen House]
What do you want from me?
I want your help against the Dread Doctors. They ruined me. Destroyed me. They drove me to obsession, consigned me to professional ridicule. People thought I was a monster when I was simply trying to open their eyes.
Now you want me to be your eyes.
[nods] You'll see things, Lydia. Things no one else can see. You may not survive, but you might save the lives of your friends.
You understand what they've created?
The Beast.
The Beast of Gévaudan. An engineered version of it. But, it's not yet fully grown. It's still bound to its host, the teenage Chimera inside. And, it still requires the Dread Doctors' protection.
Damnatio memoriae...
That's right. The Beast was a man first-- a human killer in the late 1700s. The Dread Doctors are trying to get it to remember itself. To remember the man. When that happens, the teenager is gone.
[Malia, Kira, Josh, and Corey are locked in the morgue of Eichen House and are talking about the McCall Pack's plans]
Anybody know how we're supposed to get out of here? This place is still in lockdown.
It's not just locked.
Yeah, I can feel it, too. What are we supposed to do? Just wait here?
There's a Plan B. We've got a guy on the outside in case this happens.
Who?
Mason.
[shocked] Mason's going to unlock the lockdown? How's he going to do that?
He's got the blueprints of the building, and he has the full map of Eichen's electrical system. All he has to do is get into the transformer shed behind the building.
Don't worry-- Mason knows exactly what he's doing.
[The scene cuts to behind Eichen House, where Mason is holding his cell phone to his ear with one hand and gaping in horror at the blueprints in his other hand while he leaves Liam a voicemail]
Liam, call me back-- I have no idea what I'm doing.
This teenager, Lydia, is the last genetic chimera. A young man or young woman, maybe even someone you know. A success where Theo and the others were failures.
But we went through the list of genetic chimeras. There's no one else.
There must be one you missed. Another way they could have two sets of DNA. If you could see the face of this teenager, discover it's identity, then your friends would stand a fighting chance. The mask can help you see.
[Stiles has just finally found Lydia after her scream killed Valack]
You came back.
We're getting you out of here, okay?
[panicked] You can't! It's too dangerous.
Lydia, please shut up and let me save your life?
[Mason is trying to psych himself up to end the lockdown by wrecking his car into the transformer]
Okay, here we go. Gonna ram the wall. Gonna ram it with my car. Just smash through it. Take out the power, and save my friends. Here we go. All right. Just ram it, and destroy my beautiful car, that my parents bought me on my birthday... but I'mma save my friends. Here we go. Ram the wall. All right.
[Mason is about to hit the gas pedal when Hayden suddenly arrives and stops him]
What the hell are you doing?
[sighs in relief] Oh, thank God! Can we use your car?
[Stiles is trying to support Lydia as they rush through the tunnels as quickly as Lydia can move]
Okay, you gotta try to stay on your feet. The plan didn't work out too well, so I'm gonna need your help, okay?
[surprised] You had a plan?
Yeah. It was good on paper. Not too much in reality.
Could somebody please get my daughter out of this hellhole?
[Parrish is sleeping fitfully on his couch while Argent stands guard over him. Parrish narrates his conversation with Argent in voiceover as he goes into a Hellhound-trance and leaves, causing Argent to follow after him]
[voiceover] It happens every night. I don't know when, and I don't know what triggers it, but at some point every night, I leave. When I come back, I find burned clothes and blood. If I didn't know certain things, I'd call it "sleepwalking." But I'm not just wandering out the door. I'm heading out with purpose. I'm searching for something. That's why I need you to follow me. I need to know where I'm going and what I'm doing. If people are getting hurt because of me... If I'm adding to the body count... I have to know. When I wake up at night, when it takes over, I want you to follow me. And, if you have to... I want you to stop me.
[The Beast has just revealed itself in a school bus full of slaughtered teenagers. Argent, Scott, Stiles, and Liam stare in horror as Hellhound-Parrish and the Beast run away]
[horrified] That's big. No one said it was that big!
[exasperated] I did!
[Melissa is leaving Malia and Braeden at the McCall House]
I'm leaving for my shift. You guys think you'll be okay for the night?
[Braeden cocks her shotgun in answer]
Do we really need to do this? Deaton said the Desert Wolf can't get her power back unless she comes for me on a full moon.
Just because there are rules to taking power doesn't mean she plans to follow them.
Yeah, well, I've come up with a rule of my own--
[She pours a line of mountain ash across the threshold of the back door to complete the barrier built into the house]
--Never be too careful.
[Corey has just showed Mason the burns from where Parrish set him on fire]
This is life in Beacon Hills. This is what happens. It doesn't hurt, it's just taking forever to heal.
But you are healing. Maybe it's taking longer because of how bad you were hurt, but it's happening. I mean, look at you. You can make yourself invisible. You're fast. You're strong. People like me need people like you to save our asses. I need you.
No, you don't. You're too smart to need anyone, and it's the smart ones who always survive.
Then survive with me.
Look, Scott's going to have a plan. They always do. A couple of weeks ago, he brought Hayden in here with cell phone jammers to block the frequency of the Dread Doctors--
[Suddenly, Mason has a dawning realization and gasps in shock]
Follow me. It's frequency-- every time the Beast shows up. Liam and Hayden saw it at the cell transmission towers. The attack downtown happened right near the Radio-Astronomy Observatory. Uh, Deaton was attacked by the Beast at an Army base which has huge radar arrays...
Still not getting it.
The Beast always shows up near a transmission source. What if that's how the Dread Doctors are doing it? By broadcasting a high-frequency transmission?
So, we should be looking for some kind of transmission?
We don't have to look. The local news always covers the game. There could be two, maybe three vans-- all of them transmitting.
[horrified] Are you saying that thing's going to be out there tonight?
I'm saying... People are going to die. A lot of people.
