Hi removed: Xenzai[NEF]
Previously on "Being Human"...

You're more pathetic
as a ghost than

- you were alive.
- SHUT UP!!

I'm not the
kind of guy

who mounts
women spontaneously

and has furious animal sex.

I can't believe
I went with it myself.

I wanna be with you,

but there's something in my life.

And we have the numbers
and we have the power.

We won't have to hide.



We can live right out
in the open.

Aidan! Rebecca fixed me.

I wish I was
like this before,

then those boys wouldn't
have messed with me.

Thank you for taking
care of those boys.

Whatever I can do.

Listen to me!
He was out of control.

You couldn't teach him,
like you said to me?

The way you live is an insult
to the empire they've built.

I'll come back.

I'm sorry, could you be
a little bit more specific?

- Come back to...
- To you.

I'll come back to you.

The only constant in life...



is change.

People, as a species, are in a
constant state of metamorphosis.

Just when we get comfortable
swimming in the sea,

we end up on land.

The moment we become
accustom to crawling,

we stand on 2 legs.

After you.

Our instinct is to
resist change, to fear it,

so we wrap a pretty word
like "evolution" around it

and hope that
it will make the pill...

...easier to swallow.

Well... this is one of
our better additions to Boston

since your last visit.

We've reserved the entire
space for your enjoyment.

What about the harbour?

Again, the harbour isn't
what it used to be.

There's too many people
there now, tourists,

even at night.

But we always
go to the harbour.

Yes, we like to feed
by the water.

Yes, well...

Maybe next time.

They aren't chained.

Were they compelled?

No, there's no need.

The agreement is
that we feed, not kill.

They're here by choice.

Some, because they hope
to be diners someday.

And... some have issues.

But you don't drain them?

We do not
feed on blood.

We feed on life.

This is appalling.

Well, this is
a new reality.

We're not asking you
to forsake your old ways,

but you did say
you wanted to see

how we lived
here in Boston,

and this is it.

Fenway Park, Faneuil Hall...

and Lola.

Local treasures all.

The thing is,

change doesn't care if
you love it or you hate it.

Change is indifferent,
intractable.

Like I said, every cubicle
is here for your disposal.

Or...

...whatever you're into.

We will try
this city feeding.

You won't be disappointed.

And it will not be denied.

But we will do it our way.

# And we surrender #

# Stuck in... #

So...

Aidan's back!

Mmm...

It's wonderful,
isn't it?

All of us together again
on our last day.

Our last day?

Mmm...

There's a traitor
amongst us, boys.

Someone has told
the Dutch everything.

All my plans...
well, our plans...

have come to naught.

Today, we will die.

How can you
be so sure?

Mmm, it's the cycle
of this endless life.

Aidan remembers well enough
how these things play out.

So greedy.

And they think
we're uncivilized.

Thanks, Jason.

Dr. Miller...

Hey...

there, you.

You're annoyed.

You're mad.

Annoyed and mad,
and you should be.

I'm so sorry.

You vanished, Josh.

- For 2 days.
- I know.

I'm beyond words sorry.
I don't know what to say.

What happened?

You can't tell me.

All I can do is
say that I'm...

sorry...

again and just pray
that you can forgive me.

I'm pregnant, Josh.

You're... pregnant?

- With... with my baby?
- What?

- But, I...
- Who else would it be?

- I don't...
- Wow, wow!

And just like that, you've
turned this into clich?s.

The slut who gets
herself in trouble,

the bastard who ducks
his responsibilities.

I didn't mean
it like that.

I... I ju...

Can we just
start over, please?

You know, I've been
rehearsing this conversation

in my head for 2 days.

But it never
went like this.

I'm just surprised.

Well, you know,
we shouldn't be.

It was stupid of us
not to use anything!

I just thought
that I...

What, what?
What did you think, Josh?

What? That I was
on the pill?

Or that if something happened,
I'd take care of it?

- No! No!
- I can't do this right now.

Nora, just...

I just wanted
you to know.

Now, I'm gonna go back to the
version of this conversation

that I was having
in my head,

'cause it was much better.

Nora, don't. Nora...

Why are you putting
yourself through this?

I owed it to Bishop.

How could you
owe him anything?

Isn't ruining
your life enough?

I don't know. Maybe...

Maybe I can
make things better...

for all of us.

My God...

You've been
here one day

and you've got Kool-Aid
coming out of your ears.

Bishop wants to
take over the public

so that he doesn't
have to hide.

But it's his hunger that
he really needs to control.

If I can teach him that
control over the urge...

Oh! Sorry.

You're serious.

Thought you'd
appreciate a little hope.

After everything
we've been through?

I'm tired of
disappointments, Aidan.

I know.

That's why I feel like...

I owe this to you.

To us.

Give up on us.

There's too much blood
under the bridge.

And now it's just too late.

Hello?

Guys?

You get my message
about the exterminator?

Yes, you anal-retentive freak.

They're gone.
Spray away.

Whoo, there's a lot
of energy in here.

You can feel it right
when you walk in.

OK...

That's not an exterminator.

So when did you
buy this house?

2007.

How many spaces?

Rooms? Seven.

There's 10 if
you include closets.

No way!

She's a realtor?

You're gonna sell our house?
My house?

And right out
from under the guys?

You really are
a piece of crap.

I need to know every space.

Look, will this take long?

I really can't say.

Every place is different.

So long as we
can move on.

Oh, Bridget!

Don't move anywhere
with him! You can't!

He's just trying to get you
away from everybody else.

That's how it starts.

This is
where she died.

Why does she care
where I died?

Uh, do you
need anything?

No. I'm good.

So what I like to do is clear
the spirits room by room.

Clear the spirits?

- There's only one spirit.
- Of course! Sarah.

- Sally.
- Oh! Right, Sally.

Sally...

Well, after today,

you won't have to worry
about Sally ever again.

Why?

Do you think we
could move this along,

the, uh... ritual?

The exorcism.

Right.

The exorcism?

Bishop suspects something.

What kind of a leader
would he be if he didn't?

Well, if I'm
compromised with him,

I wanna be sure our deal
is intact. Correct?

Was there a deal?

Well, an understanding.

You handle Bishop,
and I take Boston.

You know, I find,
after a number of decades,

that a certain grace
settles upon us.

I'm sure you'll
find the same.

I'm not sure that
death is necessary.

Isn't it more important
that we restore order?

But you...

We all just want what's for
the greater good, don't we?

Is it Aidan?

You wouldn't make
him leader, would you?

Because with all due respect,
that would be insane.

He's a heretic, a sham.

Please do not presume
that you will ever tell me

anything that I do
not already know.

As for the rest, all will
be discussed at the meeting.

The meeting? Of course.

Salt...

binds the spirit to
the house for the ceremony.

This way, they can't escape
and sneak back in later.

She's bound here
until she's gone?

Yeah, that's
how it works.

Pfft! Whatever.

Son of a bitch!

It's salt?

I mean, it's killer on hardwood.

Can't we use something else?

Well, we have 2 options.

You can either follow
the ceremony to the word

or burn this house to the ground.

Out on the street.
Out on the street!

All right, let's begin.

No!

Sally?

Sally, your friends
want you to go now

and find the peace
that you deserve.

What, that's all
there is to it?

You ask nicely?
Because we could've done that.

Nicely, right.

Ghosts were once people.

And people respond
to being asked nicely.

"Please" and "thank you".

I mean, that's always
my first course of action.

Now...

Sally, please,

go find your peace.

It's time.

Ah! Oh!

Ah!

Well, this... this
might require more

than "please" and "thank you".

It's this city air, filthy.

Yeah, secondhand
smoke is a killer.

How long's it been?

50 years, that we
sat right here.

Who could forget?

You murdered Carlo
right over there.

Carlo?

Oh, yes.

Let a heretic run wild
in his care, didn't he?

Well, if by heretic
you mean me, yes, he did.

Youthful indiscretion,
I think we can all agree.

And what would
you call, uh, this...

experiment of yours?

Living with humans.

Youthful indiscretion
as well?

I don't live with humans.

Is there something else?

It's come to our attention

that you've been creating
a great number of children.

That, furthermore,
you have a plan

to turn all the right people

to bring
your family public.

Do you deny this?

I do not deny it.

Our laws pertaining to
the number of family members

are quite clear.

It keeps one clan from becoming
stronger than the others.

I'm curious about
this need of yours

to declare yourself
to the masses.

Would you rather us
live in the shadows?

In garages and barns
for the rest of eternity?

So you would have us
take over humanity

by becoming more human?

And after the humans acknowledge
our existence, they what?

Just... submit?

Some will.

Some will need
to be persuaded.

Persuaded?

Mass murder, enslavement...

Two possibilities.

What?

We've tried to come
into the light.

It's never worked,

not once in our history.

Your plan jeopardizes
the existence of us all.

And your plan,

your theology, denies
the existence of us all.

We are either the master race
or we're cowards.

Why can't you and
the Council see that?

You will cull this clan
by two-thirds.

You, Bishop,

will come back with us.

There, you will go under the
earth for no less than 50 years.

Think about it. Discuss.

We will take your answer
at tonight's dinner.

Take the deal.

And in my absence,
when Hegeman and his Taliban

have run Boston straight back
to the Middle Ages, what then?

Boston will survive,
and so will you. Take the deal.

This isn't
about survival.

It's what we've always
talked about building.

You and I,
this is our dream.

We never talked
about this.

If you reject the Dutch,

then every family in the Council
will be after your head.

Nora...

You... you had the...

Oh my God!

I told them to get you.

- Nobody called?
- No.

Is it...

Is he healthy?

I can't get the little bugger
to latch on just yet,

but he's perfect.

Daddy's here.

No!

No, no, no!

No! Ah!

God, our Father,

cleanse this place of the
dark remnant dwelling within

and fill it with
light and love.

Be gone unclean spirit.

Leave this world for those
who still live in it.

God, our Father...

cleanse this place of
the dark, dark remnant.

Fill it with light.

Why are you doing this?

I left you alone!
You won!

God, our Father...

remove all power
from this lost spirit.

Power of this lost spirit.

Lost spirit. Lost, lost...

Leave this world for those
who still live in it.

Dr. Johnson,
pick up Line 1, please.

Aidan!

Hey!

You're here.

Yeah, I've gotta
keep up appearances.

Right, yeah.

I mean, you still
work here, all right?

It's there you have
to keep up appearances.

That's, like, a show.

Like a one night only
kind of thing, right?

Right? So...

So how is, uh...

How is everything over
there with... with them?

Everything's everything.

It's everything, sure.

So, are you coming back
to the house or...

I don't know.

Will you know?

Josh, I don't know!

OK.

You all right?

I'm just concerned
about you, really.

And, no,
I'm not all right.

Nora's pregnant.

Wait, with your...

I think so.

Yeah, and I'm sure
you already know this.

But, you know,
that question,

like, the worst thing
that you can ask a woman

when she announces.

Wait, you didn't
ask that did you?

- I...
- Oh!

I didn't think a guy
like me could have a kid.

Yeah, me neither! Josh...

Whoa!

Uh-huh. Wow!

Yeah. Right?

So what do you think?

Congratulations.

Congratulations?
No, thank you.

No, I'm not looking
for a cigar, man.

I need help, OK?
I... I need...

What do I do?

Josh, I realize
that you're freaking out.

But listen,
this is good.

Hell, this is better
than good. This is normal.

It doesn't
feel normal, OK?

If it were normal,

I'd be running around
telling friends, family,

people in line
at Starbucks,

not pacing the hall
trying to figure out

how to tactfully
bring up an abortion.

Wait a second.

You didn't actually have
that conversation, did you?

No! I didn't think it'd
be a very good follow-up to

"Are you sure
that's my kid?"

But it just feels wrong.

I mean, what if it's
like me? What if it's...

What if it's just like me?

I don't know.

But before you talk about
doing anything drastic,

think about this...

You and me...

We agreed to make a go
at having a real life.

- Yeah.
- Right?

I know we did.

Looks like one of
us is gonna get a shot.

Isn't this always the way?

They roll out the red carpet
and sweep us right under it.

I thought you'd firmly secured
your place amongst the Chosen.

There is no security.
You should know that.

Not when you're a mistake,
like you and I.

Excuse my honesty.

I, uh...

I'm in a mood.

Because Aidan's back?

How is the world's most loyal
bootlicker possibly a mistake?

Well, they were
coming for my brother.

Bishop and his men,

riding high from
the slaughter in Concord,

drunk on blood and
thirsty for more.

I came outside when
I heard them in the barn.

They were already on him.

That's... awful.

I hated my brother.

He put up fight,
and Bishop liked that.

Yeah, Silas was a soldier.

I'd avoided the war and stayed
home to pursue my studies.

So how did
they get you?

Well, Silas wanted
to die with honour,

not as a monster, so...

he took his dagger
and slit his own throat.

But Bishop wouldn't
go home empty-handed.

That left him with me.
I would do.

Soon after that,
he got Aidan,

the good little soldier
he'd been looking for.

So you see...

we're just pawns,
you and I.

Who do you think killed
Bernie's little bullies?

So it was your fault,

what happened to Bernie?

We've just been put
here as stepping stones

to get him back what
he really wanted.

Aidan.

Pathetic, if you ask me.
He's a coward and a traitor.

Aren't you betraying Bishop
right now, talking this way?

We should help
each other, you and I.

Don't you see that we're
closer than you knew.

Give me space, Marcus.

I'm in a mood.

This is it.

Are you two ready?

Yeah. I don't know.

It feels like it's working.

Doesn't it feel
like it's working?

It does, yeah.

Bridget, please...

- God, our Father...
- Stop.

Wait.

What are you doing?

What will happen to her?

Will she go to Heaven?

Honestly,
I don't know, honey.

You don't know?

We only have the ability

to get the energy
out of a space.

Where they go or
what they become,

it's unknown to me.

- I don't know about this.
- Seriously?

This whole deal
was your idea.

What if she's clinging to
this house, to us, for a reason?

This isn't her
house anymore!

She's safe here. What if
we send her somewhere bad?

Send her somewhere bad?
We're the ones in Hell!

I mean, every conversation
we have turns to Sally.

Whenever the wind blows,

you think Sally's whispering
something to you.

I mean, every night, you think
she's watching us sleep.

I just think maybe
Sally deserves more.

We deserve more.

Don't we?

You have to finish this.

God, our Father...

cleanse this place of the
dark spirit dwelling within

and fill it with
light and love.

Well, gentlemen...

I hope you brought
your appetites.

Did I mention here

that Michelle is
pregnant with twins?

Don't be shy. Dig in!

She's been compelled

so we can enjoy our
little delicacy in peace.

It's your decision, Bishop.

Is this meal a celebration
of your good judgement

or a memorial
to your stupidity?

My decision...

Yes.

Well...

business before pleasure,
I assume.

I'd like to make a toast.

Wait!

Nobody wants a war.

Not against humanity,
not amongst the families.

If Bishop would
revise his ambitions,

if he would
scale them back,

then you could truthfully
report to the Council

that he submitted
to your demands

while leaving a flawed,

but capable leader
here in Boston.

And if that's not enough,
then you can take me.

I'm the true heretic.

If I were to submit
to punishment...

that might be enough.

And since Aidan is so
selflessly willing to submit,

maybe Bishop would agree
to some sort of power share.

Something to make the Council
feel more at ease.

Well, gentlemen...

I do believe you've just heard
the clarion call of surrender,

which is kind of funny.

Because I was going to
stand up here and tell you

that I reject your offer.

I reject your theology.

I reject your cowardice.

And I was prepared
to stand up here

and fight you
for what was right.

But I cannot do that alone.

And now it seems I stand
here more alone than ever.

My sons...

in their own way,
have rejected me...

lost faith in me,
deserted me.

Well...

These things happen,
and so, a new toast.

Mmm, forgive my heedlessness.
I accept your terms.

I surrender.

My family will be reduced.

Boston is yours.
Let's celebrate.

Mmm...

What's the matter?
Did you guys eat already?

Come on! Celebrate!

I rolled over, tail between
my legs, etc., etc.

You don't look
so good, old friend.

Oh! You know
what I bet it was?

Lola.

Yeah. That pretty little
thing from the blood den.

I probably
should've told you

she was on a steady
diet of juniper.

Yeah, as a matter of fact,

all the donors have
been noshing on the stuff.

Nasty stuff, that juniper.

Really slow-acting,
but once it kicks in,

it really packs a wallop.

Everything in the body
constricts and stiffens.

They say it's a lot
like rigor mortis.

The effects
don't last too long,

but I only need a couple
of minutes to enjoy this.

Help.

Oh, they're not gonna
help you. Those two?

Useless, trust me.

Bishop, think about this.

If you only drank a little
from the donors, you'd be fine.

But no, you had
to follow the old ways

and suck them dry.

Hey, I'm not judging.

I understand where
you're coming from.

Traditions work.

And as the
saying goes...

"If it ain't broke,
don't fix it".

But there is
another saying...

"Change or die".

Bishop!

Did you really think
I didn't have a plan?

You may be older,

but you don't have the market
cornered on wisdom.

# You saw in me
and my hands #

# Things you were missing #

# I become #

# Dead in December... #

Marcus don't be a fool.

By killing Hegeman
and the idiot

who tried to
help him escape?

Bishop will be so pleased.

Marcus you could
come with us.

Yeah, because we're
so close, you and I.

- Don't worry.
- Oh!

I'll tell your friends you
died screaming like a pig.

# I'm #

# High in the summer #

Let's go!

Let's go!

# I become #

# Dead in December #

This was our bedroom.

We were half-joking,

but we always said this was
where we'd make our family.

No.

She wanted that more
than anything in the world.

Now I can never
give her that.

- I'm sorry.
- It's OK.

You have to finish this.

I can't take much more.

You don't get to talk
about me like that.

You don't get
to mourn me!

Be gone unclean spirit.

Leave this world
for those who still......

NO!

It was too crappy for you.

You know I love that ring.

Then where the hell is it!

I told you, it fell!

Oh!

Oh!

What happened?

- Is it done? Is she gone?
- Alannah?

Are you OK?

Alannah?

You!

You did this to me.

No, Sally, no.
I didn't mean to.

How could you
do this to me?

It was an accident,
you crazy bitch!

- I HATE YOU!
- Why won't you just die?

Danny, stop it!

I'm gonna fix it
right now!

Ah!

Oh God,
are you OK? Alannah?

You!

I know what you are.

Wait! You have
to finish the job.

We already paid.

Here, here, here!
Here's your stupid money!

What about Sally?
What happened to her?

I don't know,
but I hope she's still here.

She deserves this place.

And you...

You deserve whatever
she does to you.

No, no, Sally's a liar.

She just can't stand
for us to be happy.

No.

The dead don't lie.

No, Bridget, don't do this.

Get out of my way.

You can't just
leave me like this!

I won't tell anyone.

They won't even
believe me.

What? You think I'd
do something to you?

You know that's
not who I am.

Please, let me go.

Let me go!

I'm sorry, Sally.

So, I want to
apologize again.

You ever say or hear
something so many times that

the words lose all meaning?

Can we talk?

I'm, like, begging.

Hurry up.

I've got tons of
guys to sleep with.

That's not what
I meant when I said that.

Really? What could
you have meant?

I didn't think I could
get anyone pregnant.

I've got...

I have problems, like,
deep genetic-level problems.

And I didn't think I could.

That's what that meant.

And it's not just me.

My whole... family's
screwed up, so...

That's your big confession?

God, Josh, whose family isn't?

Yeah, I know, but really...

I swore that I would
never have children.

My God, my family...

Things aren't right.

Addiction, mental
illness, violence...

I'm always so careful
with protection.

I'm paranoid, actually.

But that night with you...

I don't know.
There was something about it.

Something different.

And it wasn't just
that you jumped me

and it was over in 20 seconds.

Yeah, I think
it was at least 30.

I can't blame you
for being freaked.

I'm not sure I have
it in me either.

I just want you
to know that I'm not...

going anywhere.

Well, we don't have to decide
right now though, right?

It's still early.

Totally.

I'm glad you don't
think I'm a slut.

I'm all right.

All right, let go.
Let go.

Are you sure?

I'm healing already, yeah.

I have to get back.

You tell them what you saw here.

Oh! He needs to be stopped.

Listen to me.

Prepare.

Prepare for what's coming.

You think he'll make it back?

Maybe.

Probably.

You had pretty impeccable
timing back there.

He had it coming.

You know Marcus was
responsible for the bullies?

I don't know why I didn't
assume that in the first place.

You need to be careful.

Whatever Bishop's thinking,
it's obviously well planned.

Why would you offer
to go underground?

It's because everything I've
done here has been a mistake.

I don't think
I was so bad.

Of course you weren't.

None of this has
ever been your fault.

I know.

It's all been
out of my control...

until now.

No, no. Rebecca, no.

I'm not meant
to be like this.

Like you and Bishop.

That night when
you were with me...

I was supposed to die.

I am dead.

It's not right
that I'm here.

I can't do this to you.

Aidan...

I swear that
I will do it myself.

Rebecca, we're gonna
get out of here.

You have to let me go.

I killed Marcus.

But I'm not gonna
let them win.

At least give me the dignity
to do this myself,

before they can.

You always said you
didn't want this for me.

I didn't.

So...

if you loved me

even for a second of
this horrible ride...

Hi removed: Xenzai[NEF]

you would let me go.

OK, well, then
I'm going with you.

No, no.

You have to finish this.

# She waltzes on the city #

# The rooftops and raindrops #

# Wet and all spent #

# And I thought I had you... #

Please.

# Where I don't want you #

# When you arrived #

# I knew you'd be next... #

OK.

Thank you.

# Stop all the curses #

# Numbing curses #
