Scenes with Stiles 275
[Stiles and Lydia are talking to Dr. Valack about The Dread Doctors book]
I wrote it because no one believed me. Because no one listened. They're here, aren't they? In Beacon Hills?
StilesWhat are they?
Not entirely human-- at least, not anymore. They were scientists once. Scientists who worshiped the supernatural. Tesla said, "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." They found their secrets in electromagnetic forces-- ways to prolong their lives, give them power, and, most importantly, making you forget you ever saw them.
Good question, Lydia. Everybody wants something, don't they?
Stiles
Okay, so what do you want?
[Dr. Valack pulls out an audio recorder and places it in the drawer for Lydia to take]
What do you want me to say?
I don't want you to say anything. I want you to scream.
[Stiles and Lydia are arguing about Dr. Valack's request]
Stiles
No way. Not happening. Sorry.
He's the only one who knows anything!
Stiles
The guy is a nut-job who drilled a hole into his head! He's probably lying his ass off!
[frustrated] How many have died so far? All of them teenagers. Am I right? Want to know how many died the first time they came here? Wonder how many will die if they succeed?
[shocked] This did happen before.
And now they're back. All because a few teenagers, who never even considered the consequences, decided to reignite a supernatural force they barely understand.
Stiles
How do you even know about that?
[Dr. Valack removes the bandage around his forehead]
[The electricity starts to flicker as Kira loses control over her powers]
[urgently] What are they?
Stiles
[to Lydia] Don't answer.
She's disrupting the building's defenses.
Stiles
What do you mean? How?
It's not just the mountain ash that keeps this building secure-- it's the electromagnetic energy. Eichen is built on the convergence of telluric currents. Ley lines. It's what allows it to keep certain supernatural creatures in, and certain others out. They knew you were coming. They're here. And you unlocked the door for them.
[Stiles and Lydia have just barely missed being attacked by the Dread Doctors]
I think we're okay. Stiles?
Stiles
No, it's not okay. All of this, it's on us. Everything that's happened, everything that's going to happen? It's our fault.
[horrified] It's our responsibility.
Stiles
[about the chimeras] These are all teenagers, right? So now shouldn't we be trying to figure out why these teenagers? If the Dread Doctors... If they went through all that, burying them, killing them, breaking one of them out of jail. They couldn't have been chosen at random.
They had to have something in common...
Something that made them right for this experiment.
Stiles
Something that made them special.
[Scott, Kira, Lydia, Malia, Stiles, and Theo are sitting in the living room of the McCall house, with six copies of the Dread Doctors book sitting on the coffee table]
My mom's bookclub usually had more wine.
Stiles
They probably also didn't read books that caused violent hallucinations...
Maybe I should have my mother read it. She might remember a girl with a tail leaping off the ceiling and attacking everyone.
Stiles
Yeah, if it works.
[concerned] What's that mean?
[anxiously] When I look at the cover of the book... It's almost like...
...A memory trying to surface?
Isn't that what Valack wanted when he wrote it?
If they did something to me, I want to know what it is.
[After none of them had any flashbacks after they had read the Dread Doctors book, they go to school the next morning. Scott, Kira, and Stiles are walking down the hallway when the electricity suddenly flickers. Stiles and Scott look at Kira suspiciously, and her eyes widen in alarm]
[sighs] We keep an eye on each other today, okay?
Stiles
Yes, and keep an eye out for eight other potentially homicidal chimeras.
And keep an eye out for the Dread Doctors.
Stiles
[anxiously] I'm starting to see the appeal of a third eye...
Stiles
Okay, then what are we doing here if you've already had your repressed memory?
[frustrated] It wasn't the right memory. I remembered my grandmother in Eichen House. There was nothing to do with surgery, nothing to do with the Dread Doctors. So, if I've read the book, why don't I have the full memory of my experience with them?
Stiles
...I'm not supposed to know that, am I?
No, something... [She suddenly gets an idea] ...happened during the surgery. But now... I think that maybe it has more to do with me being a banshee. It's not my memory, Stiles. :Stiles: It's someone else's.
[Stiles has just witnessed Theo killing the newly-turned chimera, Josh, to save his life and is staring at him in horror]
Stiles... You can't say anything. Please don't say anything.
Stiles
Why not?
Because I never said anything about Donovan.
Stiles
[angrily] You don't know anything!
I was there! I was at the library. Malia found the book. She was texting us to see where you were. She said she left you at the library. I told her I was close. When I got there, I heard the scaffolding come down.
Stiles
You saw him?
Just the body. I watched you come out. I was gonna say something, but then I saw the cop car... And the body was gone. I don't know who took him. I only saw what you saw, and I didn't say anything because you didn't.
[Stiles and Theo are debating what to do after Theo killed Josh to save Stiles when sirens are heard]
That's not an ambulance, is it?
[Stiles shakes his head in the negatory]
We should get out of here.
Stiles
[points to Josh's body] We can't just leave him.
Fine. All right, let's take him. Someone's stealing the bodies anyway, right? Here's our chance to find out who.
[Stiles, overwhelmed, hesitates for a moment]
Theo: Stiles, come on. We gotta do something.
Stiles
You killed him.
In self-defense. He was going to kill you, and me! If we stay, we're either going to have to tell the truth, or we're going to need a pretty convincing story. It's your choice. I'm not going to ask you to lie to your dad.
Stiles
[sighs] Don't worry... I've had plenty of practice.
[Scott and Stiles have met up with Liam at Scott's house. Hayden has locked herself in the bathroom]
She's definitely a chimera?
She said she heard a voice saying, "Your condition improves."
Stiles
Well, that's unsettling. [He starts to talk to Hayden through the locked door] Hayden, this is Stiles. Your sister works for my dad down at the station? Look, just open the door, okay? You can trust us.
We just need to tell you the truth, Hayden. And that kind of thing usually is better face-to-face. Listen, either you're gonna unlock the door, or I'm gonna have to break it open. It's okay if you don't want to talk, or if you're not ready to believe us. But, I just... I gotta know that you're okay in there.
[Scott is about to break the door open when it suddenly unlocks and cracks open. Scott, Stiles, and Liam slowly walk into the bathroom to find Hayden partially wolfed-out, with glowing gold eyes, claws, and fangs]
Stiles
We're back to telluric currents?
If the Dread Doctors didn't like coming into Eichen House because of them, maybe we should use them to protect Hayden.
Stiles
Okay, so, besides Eichen, where's the strongest convergence.
Stiles
You want to hide her in the high school? For how long?
If we have to, all night.
