[Parrish is trying to save Argent from dying from his wounds after Peter impaled him and pinned him to a wall in the sewer]

PParrish

You know what you need? Adrenaline. There's two ways to get it-- fear, and anger. Since you don't look like a guy who's afraid of anything, you need to get angry. You need to get so angry that your brain lets loose every bit of adrenaline it has left.

[fading] I'm too tired to be angry.

PParrish

Okay, I don't know much about you, or what you've been through. But, Lydia told me some of it. And I know about Allison. I know how she felt about Scott. And, I think if she knew what was happening to him, she'd be pretty angry. At least angry enough to try one more time to get the hell out of here. So, whatever trigger you need-- if it's Allison, or your sister, or Peter-- use it. Use it right now!

[Lydia visits Jordan Parrish at the Sheriff's station, where she lays a brown leather-bound book on his desk]

This used to be on a hard drive, but we eventually decided it might be a good idea to have a hard copy around. So, we put it in a book.

PParrish

[confused] What is it?

It's called the Bestiary. Whatever you are, it might be in here. I'd like to help you figure it out.

BBelasko

You're not a werewolf, but you're something.

[Parrish groans in pain as Belasko claws through his abdomen]

BBelasko

Now, you're no ordinary creature, Deputy. But then, neither am I. Not tonight. I'll let you live if you answer one question-- Where is Scott McCall?

PParrish

[lies] Never heard of him.

PParrish

His claws were different-- twice the size of Scott's. More like talons.

If that's the worst part, that doesn't sound too bad...

PParrish

It's worse. They did something to me. I don't know how to describe it, other than it felt as if the life was being drawn out of me through them. Through the claws.

And now he's looking for Scott?

PParrish

Which got me thinking about what this guy can do. The rule is you have to kill an Alpha to steal their power, right?

Yeah, except it's different for Scott.

You can't steal a True Alpha's power.

PParrish

I think this guy can.

PParrish

I've got an answer to why we couldn't find Tracy last night. She was in the hospital.

[confused] Doing what?

PParrish

Killing her psychiatrist.

[sighs] Let Scott know, but tell him I don't want them getting into it yet.

PParrish

Shouldn't we be putting him on the payroll?

I'm starting to wonder...

[Parrish is in the middle of a flashback to a few days/weeks ago, when he and Lydia were sitting at his desk at the Sheriff's station. Lydia has just pulled out a lighter]

PParrish

You gonna do a magic trick?

[smiles] No, but you are.

PParrish

I only know one trick, and it's with a playing card.

Well, this one involves a lighter and your hand.

PParrish

[gives her a look] This is sounding less like a magic trick and more like assault.

[shrugs] It's a little dangerous, yes. But, it's not as bad as being lit on fire in a Deputy Sheriff's car. Which, by the way, you walked away from unscathed.

PParrish

[smiles] Not entirely-- I had to pay for the uniform!

When you were looking at me, your eyes kind of drifted. What were you thinking about?

PParrish

[nervously] A dream.

What dream?

PParrish

I've had it here and there for about six months. I'm walking in the woods, carrying a body... but it's completely burned. I can't see who it is, or who it was.

Where are you taking it?

PParrish

A clearing. There's a huge tree in the middle of it. You'd think it was a thousand years old, but it's been cut down. It's just a stump.

[frowns] It's real. It's a real tree, in a real part of Beacon Hills. It used to be the center of a grove of trees called a Nemeton.

PParrish

What's a Nemeton?

A sacred meeting place for Celtic Druids. They were scientists and healers thousands of years ago.

PParrish

[confused] I've never seen this place...

But that's why you're here. It drew you here. That's what it does. It's a beacon for supernatural creatures... It might even make them more powerful. What else happens?

PParrish

[nervously] I put the body down. I... I lay it down on the rings of the tree, and...

...What?

PParrish

[lies] Nothing. That's it. That's the end of the dream.

[Lydia and Parrish have just found the Nemeton, and he is freaking out about what he has just learned about what he's been doing during his blackouts]

PParrish

I need to call it in. No, I need to turn myself in!

I don't think that's such a good idea...

PParrish

You just told me I'm the one taking the bodies! I've attacked other law enforcement officers. That's a criminal offense! I shouldn't even be near you.

[gives him a look] I'm not afraid of you.

PParrish

I'm afraid of me.

Whatever's happening seems to only happen when there's a body. Other than that, you're still a pretty nice guy. And you're a pretty good deputy.

PParrish

I'm a very good deputy, and I'd like to stay that way. Flipping over Jeeps and attacking colleagues doesn't exactly fit with "protect and serve." I'm covering up the bodies of murdered teenagers!

You're not covering them up...

[Lydia is suddenly struck by a realization]

Actually, maybe you are.

PParrish

[confused] What?

It's the same thing we asked Stilinski to do with Tracy. You're not covering up bodies... You're covering up the supernatural.

PParrish

What's the difference?

Maybe you're keeping the secret safe. Maybe that's part of what you do.

PParrish

I'm a deputy.

You're not just a deputy. And you aren't one of the bad guys.

PParrish

Lydia, you just showed me that my dream was real... But you haven't heard the rest of it. Every time I carry a body to the Nemeton, I put it down and add to the ones that are already there.

[worriedly] How many?

PParrish

Hundreds, Lydia. Hundreds.

[Lydia is sitting outside of Parrish's holding cell, where they're both leaning against the same part of the metal barred door]

PParrish

Go home, Lydia. Stilinski isn't telling anyone where he put the bodies, and I'm pretty sure that I'm not psychic.

[softly] But you're drawn to death. Just like me.

PParrish

Does that make me kind of a banshee? You find bodies, I find chimeras... Dead chimeras.

So, we're both harbingers of death.

PParrish

I should probably add that to my resume.

[shrugs] It's on my college applications.

PParrish

Does it help, knowing? Knowing what you are?

It doesn't scare me as much, that I know. Do I scare you?

PParrish

Once.

Really?

PParrish

It was the night I found that werewolf, the one with the talons. I thought I was going to die that night.

How come?

PParrish

Because I saw you. I saw the banshee. But I guess it was just a dream or a hallucination.

[curiously] What was I doing?

PParrish

Trying to keep me alive.

[smiles] Well, sorry, but the banshee was mostly trying to stay out of the rain. That was the night of the storm, remember? The Wild Hunt.

PParrish

The what?

Oh, it's something Kira was telling me. A myth about thunderstorms... Ghost Riders in the sky, and black dogs...

[Lydia is suddenly struck by a realization]

PParrish

What is it?

I need to check on something. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere.

[Jordan makes a face at her]

You know what I mean.

[Lydia's banshee spirit has just visited Parrish's hellhound spirit through their supernatural connection. They're in the shower together, and Parrish has just noticed that she's missing the index and middle fingernails on her left hand]

PParrish

What's happening?

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

PParrish

[nervously] Know what?

Someone's dying.

PParrish

I can't say how I know, but Lydia Martin is missing.

DCDeputy Clarke

Parrish, you're missing! And some people here are really confused by your behavior, me included.

PParrish

I know, and I'm going to try to explain it. But I need you to find whoever's available--

CClarke

Parrish, no one's available! Do you have any idea what's going on? The high school sign somehow ended up in one of the hallways, the library is completely wreck, there might be a prehistoric animal running around the streets, and I am seriously starting to think about a transfer.
