Scenes with Theo 58
[Theo and Stiles are looking for where Valack took Lydia in the tunnels under Eichen House]
I thought you had her scent?
Theo
I lost it.
[annoyed] So, find it again!
Theo
[irritably] What do you smell down here, Stiles?
Chemicals. And fecal matter... Although, I'm pretty sure the fecal matter is you.
Theo
You know you won't, Stiles. You're going to have to trust me.
[exasperated] Trust you? The guy who murdered his own sister when he was nine?
Theo
[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.
So, then, together you gutted and killed her? That's a beautiful story.
Theo
I watched her fall into the water and freeze to death in minutes. Do you think I had any idea what was going on?
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]
Theo
Nothing.
Great. You're just as useless as I am.
Theo
[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.
Theo
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.
Theo
[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.
[Tracy, Josh, and Theo are still talking about the Beast in the Dread Doctors' lair while Deucalion watches. Tracy holds out the jar with Belasko's talons]
Theo
They're useless if we don't know who it is.
Actually, they're just useless. Didn't Hayden mention that? Where is she, by the way? I hope her moment of dissent didn't turn into actual desertion. [He inhales deeply] What about the other one? Corey? None of us can see him, blind or otherwise, so I'm guessing he's not here either.
Oh, there goes another. [He looks at Theo] Your circle of trust is narrowing.
Theo
[sighs] Okay. What now?
I teach you what you're so desperate to learn.
[Deucalion lunges for him and breaks Theo's arm]
Feel that, Theo? That's the secret to taking power. Pain.
[Deucalion starts to take Theo's pain]
Take their pain, take their life, take their power. It's all or nothing. You take until there's nothing more to give. That's where you'll find the spark of power. And then, you take that as well. Pain, life, power. In that order and only that order.
[Theo has just killed Josh and has absorbed his powers]
Theo
I can feel it.
[rolls his eyes] Good. 'Cause you just cost yourself one member of a small and inexperienced pack.
Theo
[to Tracy] What do you think?
I think he was small and inexperienced. And, if you've got his power now, you can put on the mask.
Theo
I told you we'd end up on the same side.
[smirks] How about I punch you in the balls to remind you we're not?
Theo
[laughs] I love this kid.
[Theo is talking about the body in the tank that the Dread Doctors keep in their laboratory with Scott and Liam]
Theo
They called him Der Soldat. That's German for "The Soldier." I'm pretty sure he fought in World War II.
Theo
And an Alpha werewolf. The Dread Doctors were using him to prolong their lives. They've been doing it for decades. Actually, probably longer.
Theo
Who knows? But wherever they go, he goes, too.
[Theo, Scott, and Liam are walking through the woods to find where the Dread Doctors are keeping Mason]
Theo
[plays dumb] I thought we were looking for him?
You know who I'm talking about.
Theo
Deucalion?
Theo
And you're the one who let him live.
Theo
[laughs] You still think you're gonna get through all this without killing anyone?
[sighs] I didn't say that.
[The Dread Doctors have just arrived while Scott, Liam, and Theo are trying to free Mason from the medical device plugged into his skull]
Theo
He's coming with us.
Theo
I'm not a failure.
Not a complete failure. We learned from you.
Theo, he's trying to get to you. This is what they want, don't give it to them. We can't beat them.
The mark of a true failure-- repeating the same mistake again and again.
[Theo wolfs-out]
Theo
We're taking Mason. Then, I'm taking what's mine.
Theo
Let him go.
You have the entitlement and narcissism typical of your generation. In that, you are a profound success. But your failure taught us one thing-- the banality of evil. That you were and would always be an ordinary evil.
Theo
[offended] You think I'm ordinary?
We believed that to resurrect the perfect killer, we had to start with the perfect evil. From you, we learned true evil only comes by corrupting something truly good.
[horrified] Not something.
[Theo has been badly injured in his fight against the Dread Doctors, but when Tracy brings him back to the lair, he starts to make out with her. He only stops when he is overcome by pain, which worries Tracy]
Maybe we should stop... Or figure out another plan. Just take a couple more days to think about it.
Theo
[appalled] Days? You want to wait days?
You're hurt. You need time to heal. And I'm not like the others-- I can't take your pain.
Theo
I know. And that's okay, because you can do something else for me... You can give me your power.
[Theo kills Tracy and takes her powers. Deucalion walks in and sighs]
And then there were none.
[Theo has just incapacitated Scott and Liam with his new powers as the Beast approaches them]
Theo
You hear that? That's the sound of real power.
Another arrogant youth. A contender to steal my name? You think you can take it from me?
Theo
I just want your power.
[Sebastien has just easily defeated Theo after his electrokinesis and kanima venom failed to incapacitate him in Beast form. Afterward, Deucalion walks up to where Theo is collapsed, and when Scott comes up behind him, Theo realizes he's been played]
Theo
You lied to me. You and Scott...
That's right, Theo. The whole time.
Theo
It would've never worked...
[shrugs] It could have worked... with Belasko's talons.
Theo
[to Liam] I had to knock you out.
Theo
[smiles] Five.
