Lydia quotes from Teen Wolf

What's happening?

Lydia

You're a Harbinger of Death, Jordan. Don't you know?

[nervously] Know what?

Lydia

Someone's dying.

It was more than a symbol, wasn't it? It was a promise to reunite them.

Lydia

Yes.

But, has Scott done it yet? Will he be coming for you?

Lydia

[weakly] Someone's coming. But it's not Scott.

Meredith

You have to wake up.

Lydia

What if I can't?

Meredith

Then you won't be able to help your friends, and they'll die without you.

Lydia

How am I supposed to help them like this?

Meredith

You learned to fight, didn't you?

Lydia

Only a little.

Meredith

You learned more than you think you did, and faster than an ordinary person would.

Lydia

But that doesn't matter now.

Meredith

It does, because I'll teach you the rest. I'm going to show you how to use your voice. How to use it as a weapon.

Lydia

How did you learn?

Meredith

[nervously] It doesn't matter. You have to find your own way.

Lydia

What if your way works for me too?

Meredith

[urgently] Lydia-- find your way.

Lydia

[frustrated] But none of this is even real! My body's lying in a room down the hall, staring at the ceiling.

Meredith

[smugly] Did that feel real?

Lydia

Meredith, please. Tell me how you did it.

Meredith

[sighs] You have to find your own way.

Lydia

Why can't you tell me yours?

Meredith

Because... my way got people hurt. Some days, it was quiet for me. Other days, all I could hear was screaming. People dying.

Lydia

What people?

Meredith

Everyone. Everywhere. I was in chemistry class when it happened. I had my hands over my ears. My teacher was trying to figure out what was wrong. I took my hands and I started hitting the desk... until I couldn't take it anymore, and I screamed.

Lydia

...What happened?

Meredith

All of the windows shattered. I saw kids with glass in their arms, in their faces. Some of them had blood coming out of their ears. They said it was an explosion caused by chemicals... but everyone knew it was me. Find a better way, Lydia. My voice is like a bomb going off. Yours needs to be a bullet.

Lydia

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.

Lydia

[anxiously] You have to!

Lydia

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.

Lydia

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?

Lydia

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.

Lydia

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.

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.

Lydia

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.

Lydia

You came back.

Stiles

We're getting you out of here, okay?

Lydia

[panicked] You can't! It's too dangerous.

Stiles

Lydia, please shut up and let me save your life?

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?

Lydia

[surprised] You had a plan?

Stiles

Yeah. It was good on paper. Not too much in reality.

Argent

Well, the Beast is not just getting smarter. Imagine it this way: each night, the teenage Chimera--

Lydia

The success?

Argent

[nods] This teenager goes out into the night and transforms. Whether it's a young man or young woman, they become a werewolf. A very large, very powerful werewolf the people of Gévaudan called the Beast. Every night it transforms, it remembers a little more of who it used to be.

Gerard

It yearns for its identity. Its name. Not just the Beast of Gévaudan, but the man.

Argent

The Man of Gévaudan, who wants to live, too. He wants to exist. So, imagine that one night, the teenager goes out and transforms again. But when the Beast transforms back, the Man of Gévaudan stands there instead.

Gerard

Fully realized. Alive once again.

Lydia

That's what Valack meant. He said when the Beast remembers, the teenager would be gone.

Gone? Like, no longer exists? How's that even possible?

Forget I asked.

Argent

This part is for you, Lydia. You're the one who can reach him.

Lydia

[to Parrish] Jordan?

[monotone voice] No.

Lydia

Okay... Who am I talking to?

Cerberus. Garmr. Black Shuck. I've had many names.

Lydia

How about Jordan Parrish? [Parrish remains silent] Do you know who I am?

The Banshee.

Lydia

What about Jordan Parrish?

Jordan Parrish died. There is no Jordan Parrish.

Lydia

What are you talking about? How is Parrish dead?

He's a body. A means to an end. I am beyond life and death. I am infinite. I have no use for your Deputy.

Lydia

But we do. We need him!

Your Deputy won't kill the Beast.

Lydia

Neither will you! I'm a Harbinger of Death, too. I know people are going to die. And if you do not let Parrish in, he will die, too. You'll die! You have a chance with Parrish. You need him.
