Scenes with Stiles 275
How are we gonna cause a brownout?
That's your part.You're going to draw power from the main line, but only enough to cause the brownout.
Stiles
Not a blackout-- you do that, and you send Eichen into lockdown, which would be bad. Very, very bad. There's an electrical room behind the reception counter. The main power line goes into two breakers that run power to all of Eichen.
[panicked] Okay, slight problem-- I don't know how to do that.
That's okay! You have time to practice.
Stiles
And, when we're gone, all anyone's going to think is that there was a reboot of the system caused by a brownout. Uh, any questions?
How do we get into Eichen House in the first place?
What's our worst-case scenario?
Stiles
[overwhelmed] Okay, admittedly, a lot could go wrong...
[exasperatedly] Everything could go wrong.
[sighs] Guys, if we don't do this, we lose Lydia. She's going to die in there tonight... and she might take a lot of innocent people with her.
[Stiles has just explained the plan to Parrish and asked for his assistance, handing him a set of keys to an prison transport van. Parrish slides them back]
That's the worst plan I've ever heard.
Stiles
[exasperated] Okay, the plan is perfect, and it will work perfectly, especially if you agree to drive the van.
[Stiles slides the keys back to him, and Parrish makes a face]
Is the Sheriff on board with this?
Stiles
How do you think I got the keys?
[scoffs] I thought you stole them!
Stiles
[shrugs] While that's a perfectly reasonable assumption, I did not steal them. And, we need you because all of the Eichen guards know all of the Sheriff's deputies. We need a real deputy, and one who won't ask questions.
[quietly] It's not safe to bring me along. I'm dangerous.
Stiles
...So is the giant murdering werewolf that's killed over thirty people, but somehow didn't kill you...
[Stiles and Scott have just run into Theo in the library and are both scowling at him]
I still need to graduate.
Stiles
No. No, what you need is to be beaten, severely, with a lead pipe wrapped in barbed wire...
[sighs] Okay, I admit that mistakes were made--
Stiles
Murders! Murders were made!
You know how the Soviets helped us win World War II? They knew how to make it through a Russian winter.
Stiles
[sarcastically] That it? Okay. Thank you, Theo. Very informative.
Stiles
[about Theo and Lydia] There's no way he knows what Valack's doing. Why's he so interested in her?
He probably knows what we're all thinking-- that Lydia's got something bigger to do with this. That maybe she's the only one who can actually save us.
[Kira is discouraged due to her failure at every practice try of siphoning electricity, and Scott gives her a pep talk]
I know you can do this. [He looks at the others] Anyone here think she can't?
[When no one speaks, Scott gives them a frustrated look, and the others start to give Kira reassuring expressions]
Stiles
I was the one who put you in the plan.
[They all look at Malia, who remains silent for a long moment before finally replying]
Stiles
[whispers] "I believe in you, too, Kira!"
[anxiously] I'm the one who's going to be locked in an electrical room with her!
[They all give Malia a look, and she sighs and turns to Kira]
[shakes her head] You guys are all crazy. We're gonna die.
[Stiles has just found Lydia in the closed unit and is horrified to see that she has a hole drilled in her skull and her wrists and ankles are bound to her bed. Lydia looks equally horrified to see him as well]
Stiles... You can't be here. You're going to die if you stay. All of you. Stiles, he's coming.
Stiles
Lydia, I'm not leaving you here.
[Theo and Stiles are looking for where Valack took Lydia in the tunnels under Eichen House]
Stiles
I thought you had her scent?
Stiles
[annoyed] So, find it again!
[irritably] What do you smell down here, Stiles?
Stiles
Chemicals. And fecal matter... Although, I'm pretty sure the fecal matter is you.
Stiles
I'm gonna find her.
You know you won't, Stiles. You're going to have to trust me.
Stiles
[exasperated] Trust you? The guy who murdered his own sister when he was nine?
[offended] Yeah, I was nine years old. I also believed a guy in a red suit came down the chimney to deliver presents. So, when three people in leather masks showed up and said that my sister wanted me to have her heart, I believed them, too.
Stiles
So, then, together you gutted and killed her? That's a beautiful story.
I watched her fall into the water and freeze to death in minutes. Do you think I had any idea what was going on?
Stiles
I think you pushed her. And I think you liked it.
[Theo is still trying to catch Lydia's scent in the tunnels, to no avail]
Stiles
Great. You're just as useless as I am.
[sighs] I'm trying to help save her life!
Stiles
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.
Stiles
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.
[Stiles has just finally found Lydia after her scream killed Valack]
Stiles
We're getting you out of here, okay?
[panicked] You can't! It's too dangerous.
Stiles
Lydia, please shut up and let me save your life?
[Stiles is trying to support Lydia as they rush through the tunnels as quickly as Lydia can move]
Stiles
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?
Stiles
Yeah. It was good on paper. Not too much in reality.
[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]
Stiles
[horrified] That's big. No one said it was that big!
Stiles, I'm... I'm not so sure I actually have that authority.
Stiles
[incredulously] You're the County Sheriff! You can't cancel a high school lacrosse game?
It's a charity game, which generates tens of thousands of dollars. I'd have to go to the school board with evidence of a credible threat.
Stiles
A giant werewolf might rampage across the field killing people! That's an incredible threat!
[Scott and Stiles have just showed up to the rehab center to visit Coach Finstock and convince him to coach the charity game]
So, why don't you guys get the hell out of here? I hate charity games. They're meaningless.
Stiles
I don't think the charities would agree...
[sighs] What's it for this year?
Stiles
[exasperated] Against, Coach! Deeply against!
Yeah? Okay, well, I'm deeply not interested.
