Valack quotes from Teen Wolf

Sorry, Lydia... But your treatment's not done.

Lydia

Please! I have to tell them. They are all going to die. My friends... They're all going to die.

Tell me what you just saw.

Stiles

[anxiously] Me?

The creature in the previous cell-- the Sluagh. The myth is that they can take on the appearance of the lost souls that have become bound to it. Happen to have seen any lost souls, Mr. Stilinski?

Stiles

Everyone down here...?

[smiles] Don't give up on us yet. We're all works in progress.

Lydia

Where did you hear that from?

Wise words from a former cellmate.

I wrote it because no one believed me. Because no one listened. They're here, aren't they? In Beacon Hills?

Stiles

What 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.

Lydia

What do they want?

Good question, Lydia. Everybody wants something, don't they?

Stiles

Okay, so what do you want?

Press record.

Lydia

What do you want me to say?

I don't want you to say anything. I want you to scream.

Stiles

No way. Not happening. Sorry.

Lydia

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?

Lydia

[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.

Lydia

The Nemeton.

Stiles

How do you even know about that?

I know because I saw it!

Who did you come with?

Lydia

Our friends...

[urgently] What are they?

Stiles

[to Lydia] Don't answer.

You brought a kitsune.

Lydia

What's happening?

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.

Stay focused, Lydia.

Lydia

What did you do to me?

I've amplified your abilities. Something that might just save the lives of your friends.

[about Theo and his sister] Why did he let her die? What did he want?

Lydia

Her heart... He wanted her heart.

There's no record of a heart condition... But a transplant would make Theo a genetic chimera like the others. The hypothermic conditions would keep the organ viable. But why him? Why choose a ten-year-old willing to kill his own sister?

Lydia

[weakly] Why do you care?

Because Theo was the first step in the right direction for the Dread Doctors. Think of who they are. Parascientists who have prolonged their lives and twisted the laws of Nature in pursuit of one goal-- the creation of the perfect killer.

Lydia

The last Chimera...

And now they've done it.

Lydia

But Theo doesn't know who the success is.

It doesn't matter. There's a reason they chose him, a reason he failed, a reason they changed their methods, and a reason the finally succeeded. It all starts with Theo.

When did you know for sure? That the Dread Doctors had succeeded?

Lydia

[weakly] Scott and Stiles found out that night.

The night of the supermoon.

Lydia

But they really didn't know it yet. There was too much going on. Liam had almost killed Scott. Kira was still gone. Malia was trying to find the Desert Wolf...

You were missing.

Lydia

And Sheriff Stilinski was dying...

[about Lydia] She's a pretty little thing, isn't she?

That "pretty little thing" could shatter your skull with her voice if someone decided to teach her how.

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.

You don't wanna do this, Theo. She's safe in here. The Dread Doctors don't know how important she is yet.

Josh

[about Lydia] She doesn't look good.

Corey

She has a hole in her head. It's not a good look on anyone.

Theo

I can't believe this is actually a medical establishment. Pick her up. We're getting her out of here.

[curiously] Now, what would a pack of Chimeras want with a Banshee?

Theo

I don't want a Banshee. I'm looking for a Hellhound.

You wanted a Hellhound? I think you found one.

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.
