Being Human (2011–2014): Season 1, Episode 10 - Dog Eat Dog - full transcript

Previously on "Being Human"...

We have too much to do
in too little time

to lay waste to
the one strength we have.

That goes for the weakest...

that goes for
the mistakes.

Is it totally crazy town

to pursue a relationship with
someone when you're both dead?

None of us should be
in relationships.

- Oh my God!
- No!

(Screaming)

Ah!



Aidan!

Rebecca fixed me!

You can't turn a kid!

I did this for you.

That is why
we don't turn children.

I have news from Boston.

May I see them?

(Bishop): Immortality
is an easy thing

to take for granted.

You figure:
You've got forever.

What's a little mistake
here and there?

But that's the thing
about forever.

The choices you make,
the people you lose,

your mistakes are indelible,



with no sweet death
to erase your own memory.

(Garage door opening)

(? Man singing folk rock ?)

You may think the greatest
reward of eternal life

is the power it gives you.

You're untouchable.

Whatever's going on with you,
stow it!

I'm fine.

You're brooding
over your girl

when we have business
to attend to.

And the Dutch will smell
every inch of her human stink

all over you.

(Laughing)

Will you give me
a hand, please?

What do you want
me to say?

It's a relationship.
It's complicated.

It's ridiculous.

You know what? I don't
expect you to understand.

What? That you completely
lost your mind?

Excuse me for not understanding!

You think they'll
understand, huh?

Being shunned for a human?

You think they'll care?

Bishop, we don't even know
why they're here,

and you wanna step out!

What? To go courting? Now?

She's pulling away
from me, Aidan.

I can feel it.

So?

So...

You know what?

Just go.

Carlo, I gotta go.

Where?

Better you go now
before they wake up.

(Door opening)

The power is a perk,

something to make your endless
passing days more bearable.

But to rule the world alone...

is worthless.

(Rebecca screaming)

Listen to me! Listen!

He was out of control!

It is impossible for
a child that young

to control what this is!

So you couldn't teach him
like you said you'd teach me?

I believed you!

- I know!
- Bernie believed you!

I know! I hate myself!

Enough for both of us.
Listen to me. Bernie...

(Breathing heavily)

But when you've been alive
for as long as I have,

you begin to
understand or see.

He was the closest thing
I'll ever have to a son.

The closest thing...

I'll ever have to
sharing my blood.

I'm sorry.

(Exhales)

Your son...

Were you there
when he died,

like you were with Bernie?

Don't ever talk about my son!

Hey!

Take your situation elsewhere.

They'll be awake soon.

Who?

Hegeman and the others.

Um, the...

The Dutch are here?

Who the hell are the Dutch?

Listen. Shh! The Dutch,
they are our elders.

They originate from
the Netherlands.

They hide in Amish country

because it's the closest thing
to an orthodox lifestyle

that they can find.

Hey, you need to be careful!

The Dutch are intense.

It doesn't matter
how many there are.

Even if there's a few,

a whisper from them sends
a trigger to Pennsylvania,

to the families in
Chicago and New York.

I don't need protection!

Especially from you!

Yes, well, shall we?

I'm not staying here!

Look, Bishop, I'm not a member
of this family anymore.

I don't have to put on
a show for them.

Hmm.

I see.

You're sure
you don't wanna stay?

Tell Hegeman in person
how you suck on hospital bags

and live with a werewolf?

'Cause he just loves to hear
updates on modern customs.

He doesn't need to know...

Hegeman doesn't care about me.

Oh, on the contrary,
my friend.

You're the great warrior.

I understand your wish
to be free of us,

but I'm good that way.

Hegeman is 1010.
He's old-fashioned.

To him, the way you live

is an insult to
the empire they've built.

Are you husking corn
for your lady?

I love it!

Are you also making pie?
Because you should.

Oh wow! Are you trying to
look like a douche?

I'm trying not to
look like a crazy person

talking to myself.

Oh, smart!

So, what time are you
going over to Nora's?

Half hour.

I figure a daytime barbeque
should be safe.

Oh... right, right.
Full moon tonight.

How are you pulling this off?

I'm barely pulling it off.

She just gets that
some things are private.

You know?

I feel almost like a person
when I'm with her.

Yeah.

Must be nice.

I'm sorry things
didn't work out with Nick.

Ah...

I'm not sad
about Nick per se.

Would've gotten messy.

Soggy.

But at least,

for a little while there,

I felt solid...

like I had a semi-real life.

I was a part of something.

You're a part
of something here.

- I'm not.
- You are.

You guys go off and live
your crazy monster lives,

and I barely have
any idea what's going on.

And sometimes what's going on
is dark and awful

and I can't do anything
to help you.

You do things!

Hey, you remember that time

that you totally
freaked Nora out?

Unintentionally!

I want intention!
I want impact!

I want corn!

It just gets stuck
in your teeth.

All right.

I'll be right back.

(Car door slams,
tires screech)

Josh?

Josh?

(Sighs)

I feel silly eating alone.

Can't you at least pretend
to want a sandwich?

I'm sorry,
I don't mean to stare.

I just love looking at you.

I suppose it must be nice
to be the way you are,

not to want anything.

That's not true.

I need you.

Give me a kiss.

(Giggles)

Mm-mmm.

What?

What's the matter?

- It's my birthday next week.
- I know.

We're going to Vermont!

(Siren in distance)

I just keep getting older.

We talked about this, dear.

It doesn't have to be this way.
I can change that.

- I don't want you to.
- I want...

- I can't do that.
- I want this to last forever.

It's not natural.

We'd be cheating God.

My shift is starting.

We'll talk later.

(Whistles)

Hope she's worth it.

Just turn her.

Then you can be
together forever

in a normal relationship,

not this...

whatever this is.

Did I mention she's human?

You don't think I've tried to
convince her? She doesn't want it.

Then you need to move on.

Carrying on with
a human you can't turn

spits in the face
of our people.

One day you'll
understand, Aidan.

I respect her. I...

I respect her humanity.

Well...

(Exhales)

I've been sent for you.

Carlo wants us to
entertain them.

Think about what
this looks like, man,

to Hegeman,
to the rest of them.

What? They're not
gonna miss me.

It's Carlo
they're sniffing around.

Oh, so you abandon him?

Huh? Now?

God! Your family
needs you now.

(Sighs)

(Church bells clanging)

Just do it.

She'll thank you in the end.

(Cell ringing)

? Hey, sexy ?

? Hey, hey, hey, sexy ?.

Hegeman.

Drink.

(Clears throat)

The last 50 years have been
kind to you, old friend.

Obviously, the rural life
is treating you well.

(Grunts)

(Exhales)

Ugh...

They can be
a little brutish.

(Josh grunting)

(Breathing heavily)

What the hell is this?

My name is Douglas.
What's your name?

No...

No! No!

No! You...

You tell me
what's going on here!

You tell me what's
going on here!

I was home.
I was doing things.

And then...

No, you tell me
what this is!

Tell me what this is!

You're a werewolf, son.

For them, this is sport.

Vampires?

Of course.

They call me the Professor.

Well, that's nice.

You've been down here
for a while.

You've got yourself
a little nickname.

Who's...

Would you let me
out of here?

Let me out!

It doesn't matter.

We're in the bowels
of their little empire.

They're faster, stronger...

until tonight, that is.

Tonight, you turn.

Yes, I know.

And I would like to not do it
down here with you, sir.

That's why they've
brought you here.

It's a dogfight, son.

The moon gets high,
they watch you turn.

They drool over your tortures.

They bet money on
who will rip who to shreds.

You're serious?

The winner keeps fighting,

trapped the other
29 days of the month.

And the loser?

The loser dies.

So, where's the other guy?

They keep him locked
in an isolation room

with a piece of raw meat
or something?

For the last 15 years,
they've kept me here.

You painted.

Uh, yes.

Um, eight?

Ten.

Ten. Ten years ago.

Yes. It...

Our clients find it
more soothing.

And you find your clients
soothing, as well.

It's a business.
It funds what we need.

To comingle
with humans?

To pretend you care about
their dearly departed's death?

I would have hoped
you'd done away

with this little charade.

And live on a farm?

Be what you are.

Brother, it was
decided long ago,

different strokes
for different sects.

What's he have
to say about it?

Stolzfus, Hegeman.

It's been a long time.

I remember you.

(Marcus): So...

Gentlemen, in the absence
of any set agenda,

we've taken the liberty

of providing some
entertainment this evening.

Wolves.

(Exhales)

- And then tomorrow...
- Will be tomorrow.

Of course.

Well, shall we?

Take off your clothes.

No.

Take off your clothes.

(Sniffing)

Bend over.

What?

Bend over.

I think we have a winner.

This all happened
very spur of the moment.

And... who knows?

Maybe he'll win.

? I've got the blues ?

? I've got the blues ?

? I ain't got nothing
but the blues... ?.

We missed you
yesterday, Bishop.

Yes, my apologies.

It was...

personal matters.

Though, it's hard
to complain,

given the time
this one showed us.

I apologize.

There's a viewing
going on.

Who died?

A Jew.

Sad.

Now...

we understand you have news
from Pennsylvania.

Yes.

(Blood spurting)

? I've got the blues ?

(Laughing)

? I ain't got nothing
but the blues ?

? I ain't got nothing
but the blues ?.

What did he do?

He was your maker,
wasn't he?

Yes.

Yet you didn't rise up
to defend him...

even after he let you
carry out your...

heresy under his roof.

Maybe because even you...

with all your indiscretions...

even you realized
that such sacrilege

cannot go unpunished...

cannot be allowed
to proliferate.

You've fallen, Bishop.

Let us help you up...

brother to brother.

There's nothing
you can do for me.

I can give you Boston.

It was always meant
to be yours...

before all this.

I don't know what to say.

Give up the girl...

Boston is yours.

No.

You knew one of them.

The vampire, you knew him.

I...

did.

Well...

that must complicate
things for you.

I'm sure
there's a good reason.

For his inaction?

The company he keeps...

they're savage, heartless.

But you know that.

We're strong.
We're strong now.

We're strong now.
We can get out of this.

We can jump the guards,
get outside.

I mean, this is
a funeral parlour, right?

It's not freaking Alcatraz!

Sure.

We could do all of that.

Maybe get outside
when the moon's at its fullest,

run into a mother of three,

who we proceed to rip apart.

That's why they don't
even lock you up.

'Cause they've got
you brainwashed

into thinking you're
as monstrous as they are!

They don't lock me up...

because they know I would
no longer try to escape.

Out there,
I could hurt someone.

You'll see.

You live out there
long enough,

you turn someone.

Not if you're careful.

I always thought I was.

It's safer here.

Here it's contained.

What are you doing
with all those notes?

Probably nothing.

(Sighs)

I have a notebook, too.

I was going to med school...

before.

I thought I could start to
isolate the transformation,

learn to stop it.

(Inhales)

And?

Aidan, thank God!
Josh is...

- I know.
- You know he's gone?

How do you know that?

Why aren't they here?

Where are you coming from?
I've been looking for you.

I went to the hospital!

Aidan, he just vanished! I think
you need to call the police!

No police!

- What are you looking for?
- Keys.

Hey, I'm in this, too.
Talk to me, keys to what?

Sapp & Sons.

Little funeral home
on Kent Street? Why?

- Josh is there.
- You know where he is?

And you have keys?

I had them
a long time ago.

I can't involve you in this.

Aidan, I haven't been
able to do anything!

Someone somewhere down the line
has gotta let me try!

Ah, they're not here!

We need a plan!

I'll have one!

They let me
study them afterwards

for physical traits,

reactions, that sort of thing.

(Whooshing)

(Sally): Josh!

Hey!

There are vampires here.
A lot!

And they are not
respectful of ghosts.

I just popped in upstairs,

and they tried to dissipate me
with a fire iron.

Not pleasant!

We need to get you
out of here!

Sally, this is Douglas.

OK...

Hi.

I'm in the right place, right?

Somewhere scary
that you do not wanna be?

Yes. Yeah, yeah.
But it's...

It's useless.

Aidan has a plan.

Yeah...

I saw Aidan and his buddies.

I'm pretty sure
he doesn't have a plan.

In fact, I'm certain
that we don't remotely know

what dark insanity
he's wrapped up in.

No, he's trying to be good!

I wanna believe that, too.
I do. But...

I just keep thinking,
if he was gonna do something,

why hasn't he done it yet?

And he's a werewolf, too.

They're gonna make us
fight each other.

- What?
- Yes!

That's the level of shock
I was looking for.

OK, we need to psyche you up
so you do really, really well.

Yeah, Josh, he's old.
You can take him!

Yeah, he's old.

He's stronger.

They've been keeping him
down here for 15 years, Sally.

This fight is all he does!

And there's no "doing well."

There's winning
or there's dying.

I have to kill a man.

That's not who I am.
I can't do that.

I think you have to.

(Exhales)

I can't fix
what's happened between us,

but for a second, please,
I need you to put that aside.

You hate them
as much as I do.

But Marcus, he likes you.
He could be swayed by you.

He wouldn't savagely
murder my progeny.

Is that what you mean?

He has the keys
to this place,

and I am sure that
he would give them to you.

Keys, Aidan?
That's your big plan?

I could unlock the cage.
I could figure out...

You can't bend the bars?

I don't know! Maybe!
I'm not Superman.

And you don't drink live.

Why don't you ask Bishop
extra super sweetly?

Because this whole thing is
being staged for the Dutch.

Bishop would
never cross them.

And I would be slaughtered

even before I got anywhere
near Josh's door.

Well, then it looks like
you're running out of options,

aren't you?

Josh is the only
family I've got.

It didn't have
to be that way.

This is not the way
to take your revenge on me.

Oh...

(Whooshing)

What is that?

Sally! No, you can't be here!

It's you,
from the video.

Oh, you shared!
Oh, that's nice.

I don't know what
the deal is between you two

and I don't really care...

No, I do care because you've
obviously scrambled his brains!

Why aren't you
doing something?

Oh, sweetie...

no one's gonna stop
the crazy train in this place.

I suggest that you walk towards
something white and pretty

and just stay out of it.

I'm not gonna let
this happen to Josh.

Good luck with that.

If it makes you feel any better,
I understand how you feel.

Really, I do.

Aidan...

you choose these
monsters over us?

I am one of them!

This goes back further
than you could know.

And there is a way that
I have to handle this!

By not doing anything?

Yeah, you had your centuries
of badness. I get that!

But you committed to
a new kind of life with us,

with Josh, at least,
who's actually living,

who actually matters!

- OK...
- Look...

I obviously don't know you.

So you tell me,

have you ever
in your endless life

cared enough about anything

to actually take a stand?

? Pretty baby,
ooh wee... ?.

What is this, Aidan?

It's a desk in
a funeral-home garage.

It's life in the shadow.

No, no, no,
this is our reality.

This is what
we have been working for.

All you had to do
was say yes!

No, you don't understand.

I don't understand?

(Laughing)

I don't understand? OK.

Uh...

I had a family.
You took it from me.

You took my life from me

and then convinced me

that we were gonna
build something else,

something made...

Something that would
celebrate our immortality!

And you are squandering it!

God, you are such a hypocrite!

I used to honour you!
I used to fear you!

And now I can barely recognize
what you are anymore!

I can't lose her, Aidan.

I'm sorry.
I can't lose her.

(Breathing heavily)

(Crying)

Well, then you've lost me.

I can't trust you with my life
the way that I once did.

And if you don't
get rid of her...

I can't support you.

And they...

They will kill you.

And I'm not gonna
stay around

to suffer your consequences
and tidy up your mess.

Not anymore.
I'm done!

Aidan...

I'm not gonna heed you.

I won't succumb to you,
not ever again.

I renounce you
as my maker.

You would turn
your back on me?

Oh...

Smarten up, pal.

Because either
I leave you now...

or I betray you later.

Tell me that you understand.

?
?
?

I need you to
let Josh go.

I'm afraid it's a bit
too late for that.

I'll come back.

With the understanding
that if I do,

Josh walks out of here
a free man.

Could you be a bit
more specific? Come back...

To you.

I'll come back to you.

(Crowd cheering)

Not long now, pup.
Come here, boy.

Come here!

(Sally): Don't let
the bastard scare you, Josh.

(Exhales)

Get undressed.

(Cheering)

Yeah! Yeah!

Come on! Come on!

Whoo!

Come on!

Bishop...

(Josh screaming)

(Breathing heavily)

(Screaming)

Marcus!

(Josh screaming)

(Continues screaming)

I'm afraid I have
some bad news, gentlemen.

The older wolf is sick.

It wouldn't be
a fair fight,

at least not fair for all those
who have laid down money.

(Grunting)

Ahh!

I know how much you appreciate
a good wolf fight

and I don't wanna
disappoint you,

so we'll just watch
this one transform,

and that should salvage
the evening somewhat, no?

Or you could volunteer
some of yours to fight him.

(Josh growling)

Well, Hegeman,
that would be suicide.

And I'm afraid I can't afford
to lose any of my people.

But you have so many.

So many.

(Growling intensifies)

(Growling)

I'm afraid there was
a bit of a problem.

(Growling)

Stop it!
You told me you would stop it!

Go ahead.

(Growling)

Go for the neck!
Come on!

Look at your little friend,
the cowardly lion.

Come on!

(Whimpering)

I don't know
how to live with myself.

It stays with you.

The first time I...

I couldn't even blink
without seeing that man's face.

Why didn't they
lock me up like Douglas?

What did you do?

Something that was gonna
catch up with me anyway.

What the hell does that mean?

I have to go back to them.

At least for
a little while.

You'd go back there?

Bishop, he did me a favour,

and I have to do this for him.

Oh...

It's a code of honour
between us.

Where exactly
is the honour in that?

With them?

You should know, Sally,
that what you said...

it mattered.

I was scared,

selfish even.

It's really you
who saved Josh.

And doomed you?

Aidan, no.

Sally's right.

What I saw in there...
How could you...

do that?

How could you
go back to that?

When all this,
this house...

It was all your idea
in the first place!

I mean...

God, Aidan...

what are we supposed to
believe in

if we can't believe in you?

You can.

I just hope that
you both can forgive me.

(Door closing)

Ah!

How did you get in here?

People have a hard time
saying no to me.

Mmm!

Except for you.

James, I thought we agreed
not to talk about that anymore.

And we won't.

We won't have to.

Are you all right?

Everything's OK, Jane.

Everything is just grand.

That's why I'm here.

Is it?

I love how vibrant you are,

how alive...

But lately,
I've been thinking...

It's not natural.

Don't you agree, Jane?

Yes, of course.

It's not natural at all.

You see, because...

if you're here...

then I'm reminded
of my weakness.

And you're a temptation to me.

And I have to be
stronger than that,

the way I used to be.

Do you have any idea
who I used to be?

(Choking)

My love...

That's right...
That's right...

(Choking)

We built something wonderful,
you and I, Jane,

but I'm afraid this
is where it has to end.

You said so yourself.

And you were right.

You were just being
true to yourself.

It's the same for me.

? And I felt
my love's presence ?

? Though she's ?

? Far away ?

? Just a teardrop ?

? From heaven ?

? On a sunny day ?

? A teardrop from heaven ?

? Has shown me the way ?

? Maybe I've sinned ?

(Sirens blaring)

It goes down.
But I'll be right back.

Glad you could make it!

Let's just get this over with.
They've lingered long enough.

Right. Would you like to be
the one to tell them to leave?

(Scoffs)

Then let's just
get through this.

We'll embrace them like
the genial hosts we are,

let them sniff around Boston's
battlegrounds and whatnot.

They'll say what
they have to say,

then they'll leave.

They don't even
like this city.

They're only here
to judge us.

And we judge them

and their
provincial farm life

smelling of barn owls.

To each his own, Aidan.

It's worth another
50 years of peace.

Fine.

Gentlemen!

Shall we get some dinner?

(Girls laughing)

What are they doing here?

I think we both know
the answer to that.

Tomorrow they're gonna kill me.

It's good to
have you back, Aidan.
