Meredith quotes from Teen Wolf

Meredith

No. No, I think you're wrong. I really think I should tell them. They're going to want to know the story. The whole story. I really think they should know. Yes, I do. One of them is standing right behind me.

Lydia

He--He killed my grandmother. He was controlling Meredith.

Stiles

He used her to create the deadpool.

Lydia

And killed her when she tried to help us.

Brunski

[coughs up blood] You...You think it was me? That I was controlling her? Idiots... She was controlling me.

Lydia

Oh, god. It's not him. He's not the Benefactor.

Meredith

[comes out of the shadows] No. And he wasn't on my list... but he was a bad person.

Lydia

I think I'm getting an idea of how all this happened. You used Brunski, right? You knew he'd killed people, and that he would do it again. He used my grandmother's code for the deadpool. He put it online. He took the money from the Hale vault, then turned the bearer bonds into cash. He made the payments. Was it Brunski's idea to fake your death? Did he get nervous because you helped us with one of the cipher keys?

Meredith

I wanted to help.

Lydia

All you ever wanted to do was help. Is that why you're here? I know you wouldn't want to be here if you didn't want to talk.

Meredith

I do. But, only to one person.

Lydia

Who?

Meredith

Peter. Peter Hale.

Lydia

Are you okay? I guess you are, aren't you? For someone who'd put their own name on a hit list...

Meredith

I had to.

Lydia

Why?

Meredith

Because I heard you. I heard you scream in the tunnels at Oak Creek. [Lydia flashes back to when Allison was killed and she wailed for her death] That's why I knew it was the right time to start over.

Lydia

But with Peter?

Meredith

He's the alpha. He's always been the alpha. He'll make it right. It never was with us. Too many people die because of us. We're the monsters. Even banshees. Even me.

Lydia

[shakes her head] I don't believe that. Not all monsters do monstrous things.

Meredith

Like who?

Lydia

Like Scott.

Meredith

Like you.

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.

Meredith

She doesn't have much time.

Scott

What's happening to her?

Meredith

She's being consumed by her power. Dr. Valack thinks it's worth it if she can answer the question.

Scott

What question?

Meredith

Who is the Beast?

Scott

She can answer that?

Meredith

Not yet. Not until the screams in her head are loud enough to kill her.

Scott

[panicked] How do I get to her?

Meredith

You can't. You won't be able to get past the mountain ash. But... someone else might be able to.

Scott

Who?

Meredith

The Hellhound.

Scott

You mean Parrish?

Meredith

[nods] They're connected. Find the Hellhound... and he'll find the Banshee.
