03x07 - On the Brink

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Bitten"...

Jeremy: None of this will stop as long as Roman is still alive.

You don't have to go after him alone.

Paige: It's incredible, a natural-born witch comes to her power at puberty.

You have it now.

He's here.

What? Who's here?

The one who k*lled mom, the red-eyed wolf.

(Gasping)

What in God's name did you do?

(Clinking)

This is my list.

You are on it.

Nick: Paige mentioned that Roman is hunting Russian witches.

That he can't find out what's happening to Rocco.

I won't let Roman anywhere near Rocco.

All this goes away if we stop Roman.

How are you going to do that?

Katia: I can bring him something that he wants.

And once I'm close, I'll k*ll him.

(Clicking)

Nick!

Where is she? Where's the girl?

( ♪♪ )

Nick: We're going to get him back, Rachel.

This is the way.

When was the last time that Rocco wore this?

Yesterday.

Good.

Now, put your hand over the map, and the marble will tell us where we need to go.

Now close your eyes.

Unire per amorem.

Unire per amorem.

Paige: Again.

Unire per amorem.

Unire per amorem.

It's not working.

( ♪♪ )

(Sighing) Maybe you need a breather.

That's not what I need!

My baby is gone somewhere because of that girl that you brought here.

If this is how we find him, then let's just do it.

Rachel, you cannot force it.

You just need to...

Don't tell me to calm down.

You know, Rachel, the first time that I saw Rocco, I thought about Logan.

It's that little smile he has, looks so much like his dad.

Just... think about that smile.

Think about how good it's going to feel to hold him again.

Rachel.

To make him smile again.

( ♪♪ )

Hey.

You can do this.

Unire per amorem.

So much for that!

(Heavy breathing)

Rachel. Rachel!

Rachel!

(Panting)

You okay?

I saw him.

What?

I saw his smile.

He was right in front of me.

He's there.

I know it.

Let's go get your son, then.

( ♪♪ )

Roman: Yes...

There's nothing I can do with these.

Perhaps you'd like to try that entrance again.

(Slicing fruit)

And tell me something I'd like to hear.

It would be a lie.

In Russia, we have connections to get printing supplies, but here we do not.

We will not leave here until Sasha Antonov is dead.

The district leaders are restless.

We have no money to pay them, and the longer we stay here here, the longer we risk losing control of our Pack.

(Groaning)

You think I'm losing control?

No.

So, what will we do?

Stay here until Sasha Antonov is delivered to you.

Da.

Where would she be?

Some place that attracts tourists.

She knows it's easier to blend in at a place where there are always strangers.

Is there a way we can track her? Credit card?

No. We do everything in cash.

Jeremy: How much does she have?

What was left in her stash, Alexei?

2,000, maybe.

That's enough to last a while.

Get her clear across the country.

What about her cell phone?

She's turned off the phone's tracking abilities.

So, unless she contacts us...

Have you talked to her?

Do you know where she's gone, what she's up to?

No, no, I have no idea.

Give me your phone.

Now!

If we knew why she took Rocco, then we could anticipate where she's going.

She has never, never done anything like this.

No, he hasn't talked to her.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Look, maybe she took the baby to protect him.

To protect him?

Alexei: I warned her about the red-eyed wolf.

Maybe she thought that taking the baby was the only way to make sure he was safe.

That wolf slaughtered their mother.

She would be terrified if she knew he was here.

I know it sounds crazy, but what other reason could she have?

Nick's heading northeast.

Tell him to focus on tourist spots where she can blend in.

No, I will find her.

Okay, you two go and meet up with Nick, track Katia as a team.

Come on.

(Cellphone ringing)

(Click, beep)

Hello?

Albino: (On speakerphone) Clayton Danvers?

Who is this?

I'm at Reg's Tavern. You know Reg's Tavern?

Reg isn't here anymore.

(Click)

It's him.

I'm going to take him out.

We need to find out what he's up to, first.

Take Jorge with you.

Be careful. Okay?

Hey.

Aren't you forgetting something?

I love you.

I'm counting on it.

(Rocco crying)

(Shushing)

You're okay.

You're okay.

(Rocco wailing)

Oh, you're okay. Shhh.

Oh, look at the dolly!

You like the dolly?

See? Hi! Hi!

Oh!

Shhh.

You're okay.

You're okay.

(Phone buzzing)

Where are you?

Katia: (On phone) Did you get the number?

Off Jeremy's computer, yeah, but Katia, we're all coming after you.

Dad's pissed.

He won't be after I fix everything.

Give me the number.

(Rocco crying)

Is that the baby?

Yeah, he's fine.

It's just, he's just a little cranky.

Look, if Dad finds out I helped you do this, he's going to lose it.

Look, I'll make sure nothing happens to the baby.

But this is the only way. Please?

Sasha: Alexei!

Sasha: Who are you talking to?

Alexei: Katia, we're all worried.

Call me back.

Leaving Katia a message.

She's, uh, still not answering.

I'm starting the truck. Let's go.

Sasha: Alexei!

( ♪♪ )

Two cars out back, couple of customers and a bartender inside.

He's waiting for me.

Just doesn't make any sense, though, one minute he's trying to k*ll you, the next, what... guy wants to have a beer and a crossword party?

Get behind the wheel.

Whoa, whoa, hey.

You're not going in there.

What else should I do?

We sit here, we wait for him to come out, we stuff him into a bag and we throw him off the Taylor Bridge.

Ah, it's not going to be that easy with this guy.

Why? Worked for Rasputin.

Actually, it didn't.

That's true.

(Knocking on door)

(Door opening)

Elena: I wasn't sure you would come.

( ♪♪ )

The house is empty.

It's just you and me.

( ♪♪ )

( ♪♪ )

(Sighing)

You fight to defend your Pack as though they are your family.

They are.

And now, your world has blown open.

Antonovs, and Navikevs.

Families fight and they make peace.

I'm hoping that we can find a way to solve our problems, together.

I need you to call off your assassin.

The wolf with the red eye.

The Albino.

He has our names in his book.

The Antonovs, myself included.

It's his k*ll list.

That is how he operates.

There's nothing I can do.

My father is the only one who can ask him to stop.

And if you ordered him to do it?

Roman's wolves are loyal to Roman.

Your father's wolves are loyal to his money.

The Albino's not on the payroll, he does what he does out of personal interest.

But for the rest, it is true, and it works.

I have created a finely tuned system to manage such a large Pack.

I do not want to lose that, so I am willing to make a deal with you.

What kind of deal?

Sasha Antonov.

If Roman has Sasha, the feud will end.

And so will the list.

(Chiming)

Hey man, what can I get you?

Brian, give him a beer on the house.

You got it, boss.

Don't know how this dude plans on making money.

It's been on the house all day.

You work for that guy?

He owns the place, so yeah.

Is anyone else here?

Just what you see.

Thanks.

You can sit, Clayton Danvers.

Ah, you see? Sudoku.

I like to fill in boxes. Very... very good.

Very relaxing.

Go, please, sit.

What are you doing?

Waiting for you.

I like that you come. It means I know how you are thinking.

I'm thinking this isn't going to end well for you.

Me? Meh... what about Brian?

What about him?

Do what you are thinking. Break the bottle on the table.

Use the sharp end, here, k*ll me.

Blood all over, big mess.

Then, what you do about Brian?

What you do about some other stupid American who comes in looking for free beer?

Then police come. You see?

It's a big mess.

( ♪♪ )

(Thud)

(Chair scrapes)

Ah, so we talk.

So we're here, which is... nowhere.

So what do we do?

This is new territory for me, Nick.

I don't know. Maybe we got it wrong.

Well, we're in between these three towns.

We could go to each one and ask around.

That'll take too long.

We're close. I know it, I can feel it.

Look, I believe you....

Let's try the spell again.

It's hurting you...

I don't care.

I got us this far, I can get us closer.

What did you see?

A ship's wheel on a wall.

A lighthouse.

And then it... just stopped.

A lighthouse, all right, she was pointing towards Olcott.

Okay, I can work with that.

Why did it stop?

The connection was lost.

That could've be anything. He's all right.

I felt him, I would know if anything happened to him.

(Dialling beeps)

Hmm?

Katia: (On phone) Roman Navikev?

Yes.

I am Katia Antonov. I have something you want.

How did you get this number?

Did you get my video?

I know you've been seeking out witches in Russia.

(Sighing) Who told you this?

The witch who discovered this baby has powers.

The video shows you what he can do. He's a werewolf baby who is also a witch. He's the only one.

You can have him, in exchange for my family's freedom.

I want you to lift the blood feud.

Call off your red-eyed wolf.

Where are you? I will come to you.

No, that's not how this is going to work.

We'll meet in the town of Olcott.

(Whispers) Olcott.

At the fountain at the corner of Main and Franklin.

I will be there in two hours.

Come alone. If I see anyone else, I disappear.

(Beep)

Hotels in Olcott, New York.

(Grunt)

I'm curious about you.

We are the same, you and me.

We're not the same.

We are both the best, I see this.

Nobody gets away from me, but you did.

You were the one running away.

This is true. You surprise me.

Usually, it's very easy, it's very boring.

But you... you are not boring.

You're a k*ller. Like me.

Keep your voice down.

(Chuckling)

Brian!

Uh?

You like the movies with werewolves?

What's that?

You know, werewolves, grrr!

Not really.

My girl likes that stuff.

This isn't funny.

Have a beer, Brian, on the house.

Really? Cool.

You're crazy.

Bah, "crazy", what does this mean?

You'd risk everything just to have your fun.

Breathing is risk. Walking down the street is risk.

Life is risk. This is not crazy.

Roman should have had you k*lled, you'll expose us all.

No. I could tell Brian everything. Show him everything.

Then I k*ll him before he gets to the door.

He's a stupid human, means nothing to me.

But you... you care.

This is why I'm curious.

I know you've k*lled many, many wolves.

I know they fear you.

You've tasted the power.

How can you not want more?

What is it you care about so much?

(Soft piano music)

( ♪♪ )

I know your weakness, this is good.

I feed on weakness, makes me stronger.

You can hide in here all you want.

Out there, I will be waiting for you and I won't be playing games.

That's too bad, for some of us, games are fun.

Clayton.

The girl.

Say your goodbyes to her before it is too late.

(Door bells chiming)

(Thud)

Konstantin: It is simple, really.

You give me your father. His children go free.

That includes you.

What makes you think that I'm going to do that?

Neither of us want to go to w*r.

The Russian Pack has the numbers, but when opposing forces try to att*ck you, they end up in piles of dead bodies.

Yes, that's true.

The problem with going to w*r, my dear niece, is that you and I will both lose.

You do not like to lose people you care about.

I do not like to lose control.

But I will lose someone I care about if I give you Sasha.

What is he to you? You care.

Why, because he's your father?

Because you want his approval?

Because you want him to say you are special?

The child he loves the most?

No. We have bigger problems.

We must clean our houses.

To do that, you give us Sasha Antonov.

We go away.

Our house is clean.

(Chuckling)

Really?

This morning I received a news alert about what I assume was werewolf activity.

A missing camper, k*lled by a wolf outside of Syracuse.

It's been taken care of.

A small mess compared to what your father did when he stabbed an innocent human.

We can go back and forth, my deal remains.

I need your father so mine will go home.

That wound on your neck is fresh.

Far too fresh for it to be something that I did to you.

Is this the part where you try to psychoanalyze me?

You've spent your whole life helping your father build his Pack.

(Pouring drink, )

(thud of bottle)

Even now, you come here to negotiate.

You didn't know if this was an ambush.

You care, not about him, but about your Pack.

And you let him walk all over you.

We're doing the same thing, you and I.

Defending our fathers for the greater good of our Packs.

Except your father doesn't care if you live or die.

( ♪♪ )

Anything from Katia?

Nothing.

Look, she's not going to hurt the baby.

I don't understand why she would take him.

You weren't there, you wouldn't know.

Where?

When that monster k*lled our mother.

The red-eyed wolf.

But what she is doing, how...

You weren't there, all right?

She's just trying to protect us from him.

Protect us? What do you mean?

How is taking the baby protecting us from him?

( ♪♪ )

Alexei?

Tell me, what is she doing?

Tell me!

She's using the baby to lure Roman.

What?

She's going to k*ll him.

Oh my God.

He'll slaughter her. Where is she?

I don't know.

Where is she, damn it!

I don't know, I swear.

Tell me!

If you don't, your sister is dead.

I swear I don't know!

Just a motel, I think.

She's not responding to calls or text.

(Engine revving)

What did he say?

He knows we won't do anything with humans around.

That's it?

He's a liability to all of us, he needs to be put down before he kills anyone else.

More bodies to bury.

What's this?

The coordinates for where I laid Karen Morgan's body to rest.

For Jeremy.

He wants to visit her grave.

Jeremy appreciates everything you do to protect us.

We all do.

I don't think we hide to protect ourselves, but... to protect the world from us.

Guys like him.

We do what we have to.

We'll get through it, Jorge.

It's getting hard, you know?

What is?

That was the first time I had to bury a woman.

Elena: The last time we were together, your father was more focused on k*lling Sasha than protecting you.

He knew I could take care of myself.

And I'm not sentimental about him.

And I'm not sentimental about a grandfather who wants to k*ll me.

Both of these men are Roman Navikev.

We have more in common than just blood.

You think my father is the root of all problems.

I am not offended.

There is no need to psychoanalyze me when I... wear my heart on my sleeve.

Because of my hard work, my dedication, my father has a loyal Pack.

Does he thank me for that? No.

The second your father appears out of nowhere, he runs after him like a mad wolf.

Why?

Because Antonov stole my sister's heart.

My father loved her from afar, he could never know her.

Do you know what it's like, to grow up in the shadow of a human?

I was a human.

No, you were the perfect storm.

Werewolf blood from both parents.

You were always one of us, even before you knew we existed.

And you're my uncle.

Together we can fix this.

How?

It's not my father that needs to die.

Go back to the room, help Nick, make sure we haven't missed anything.

What are you going to do?

Go!

Roman may have more men coming, go on!

How could you do this?

After all Elena and her Pack have done to help us.

I was never going to give up Rocco.

I just needed to get close to Roman.

I did not raise you to behave this way.

Yeah, let's look at how we were raised. Our mother was m*rder*d.

Alexei and I live in terror that the same thing will happen to us.

I thought I had to steal an innocent baby to stay alive...

And I know how terrible that is.

But I thought it was our best option.

I was doing what I had to, to save us.

Something you haven't done.

I want you to get in.

I'm going to take you back to Stonehaven once I've dealt with your mess.

You know what? I'm done with you!

I'm going back with Nick.

We're good.

(Door opening)

Hey, uh, just take this, give us a sec.

Everything's all cleaned up.

We should get going.

Everything's all cleaned up. Great.

Look, I'm very sorry for what happened to you today.

I'm part of this world, Rocco is part of this world, I get that.

But it doesn't mean that I don't get to have choices.

That I don't have control.

I appreciate all that you've done for me, Nick.

Really.

But you need to tell Jeremy...

He doesn't get to decide for me.

He doesn't get to decide where I live, what I can do, or what happens to my son.

Okay.

Paige is going to help me figure out how to control... whatever this is that I have.

Because I'm done waiting for all of you to tell me what my future is.

(Sighing)

Bye.

Bye.

(Car door closing)

Taking Katia back to Stonehaven?

Nick: Looks like I don't have a choice.

Thank you for everything.

It means a lot.

Of course.

So, what now?

Rachel needs training, so I'll give that to her.

How long it takes and what's involved, I don't know.

But she needs you too.

Nick, you're her family.

Just doing my job, you know?

(Chuckle)

When she needed you, you were there.

You helped her, you calmed her down.

You think it is Roman that needs to die.

I cannot k*ll him, but I will not stand in your way.

He will not leave until the Albino finishes his tasks.

And the house is fortified.

How would you even get close?

Leave it to me.

I'll let you know.

How soon?

As soon as you can get back.

And the Albino?

I'll call him off once my father is dead.

Do you really think you're capable of achieving this?

Two years ago, I didn't think I was capable of living in this world.

And now, as you said, this is my family.

You know, that might still work, I only need it for the end of the year.

Do you have a listing?

It would save me a trip in tomorrow.

Yeah, uh, just a sec.

Yeah.

Five miles north, 100 acres.

There was no way he could reach Jorge.

It's not your fault.

I don't know how to stop him.

But you're on his list.

Sasha's on his list.

So are Katia and Alexei.

We're all dead if we don't take back control.

So what's the plan?

We help Jeremy k*ll Roman, before his assassin kills us.

Katia: So what now?

I take you back to Stonehaven.

You're your father's problem from here on out.

I was never going to give up Rocco.

I did it because of Roman's hitman.

Because of what he did to my mother.

She didn't stand a chance, it was so fast.

She couldn't fight back.

He didn't know we were hiding, we were under a wool blanket.

That's the only thing that saved us.

He tore my mother's throat out.

Like she was made from paper.

I saw the life drain from her eyes.

And I felt my brother's terror.

And I wasn't going to let any of us get hurt by him again.

And I'm sorry if I panicked and I took Rocco, but I thought the only way to stop him, to stop all of this, was to k*ll Roman.
