Being Human (2011–2014): Season 1, Episode 2 - There Goes the Neighborhood: Part 2 - full transcript

A surprise guest wreaks havoc on Aidan's life, Josh faces a familial dilemma; Danny tells the story of how Sally died.

You shouldn't have to
run into the woods every time you turn.

How could 4 walls and a toilet
possibly help this?

There was an engaged couple
living here. She died.

- In here?
- Someone's in the house?

- You can hear me?
- Yeah.

- She's a ghost.
- Shut up.

- How did you die?
- I have no idea.

The point of this house

was having one place
where we can be human.

Hey, it's me.
I need your help.

Good to see you back, Aidan.



There's Bishop and there's me.

- Emily? Sorry.
- Josh?

- What are you doing? Josh!
- Go!

No...

My sister's here
and the door is locked.

I will kill her.

Life is a series of choices.

As it turns out,
death isn't the same.

Not for the ones who are ready.

They embrace their fate,
move on.

For the rest of us,
we linger.

After our survivors pray
and throw dirt on our coffins,

we're still waiting,

because for some of us,
there's a bigger question...



What am now?

Where do I go from here?

We find ourselves
in an eternal nowhere,

between human...

and thing.

Monsters.

Hey! Hey, we got
something alive over here!

Some of these monsters choose

to simply accept
what they've become.

Roger that.
Ambulance is on its way.

♪ If I look mad... ♪

Some don't.

♪ Think back ♪

Oh!

♪ Think back... ♪

Which leaves us with
the most important choice.

Do you accept what you are?

Or do you refuse?

Ahh!

Ahh!

And which is the true curse?

Where am I?

Oh...

What is this?

Everything's fine.

I promise.

You just need a bite to eat.

Where's Aidan?

He'll be so happy
that you're here.

Aidan?

Are you here?

Aidan!

Ahh!

Josh?

You're scaring me.

Just stay away from me!

Do you want me to...

Can I get you help?

Stay away from me!

Aidan, I'm in the room.

It's locked,
and Emily's here.

If you get this, please...

Josh!

What do you mean,
"He has a condition"?

He's your brother.
You should ask him yourself.

My brother had
a nervous breakdown

and ran away from
his family 2 years ago.

He doesn't tell me anything.

If he's in
some kind of trouble...

No, no, no.

He's a good guy.
He's a great roommate.

He's dealing with
some stuff, yeah, but...

aren't we all?

Does he...
Does he have any friends?

Josh? You kidding me? Yeah.

'Cause he never really did.

Oh, come on.

OK, he's quirky.

You think?

He talks about you, you know.

Um, what he said...

was that he always studied
so hard learning medicine,

how to save a life,

but that you were the one
who knew how to truly live.

Did he say that?

I... I can't believe
my sweet brother went mad.

Our mother did, too, you know.

Bet he didn't tell you that.

Yeah, you wouldn't know it now.

She's back on the tennis court-
book club circuit.

The incident has been
neatly filed away.

Just our little family curse.

I think we're all
a little cursed that way.

Please.

You're hot!

What can I do for you?
Can I call somebody?

Jackie's waiting
for me upstairs.

God, what if he never even
gets to meet Jackie?

I really wanted to
rub it in his face

that I ended up
with a shiksa goddess.

♪ Don't know what I'd do ♪

♪ Without you,

♪ Out there on my own ♪

How are you?

Well, I didn't
kill my sister...

so I guess I can't complain.

Josh, I'm really sorry.
I tried. I just...

couldn't.

It's OK.

Really?

Sure.

I mean, I don't even know
what I expected you to do.

What?

Figuring out an acceptable
amount of time to pass

before I tell you something.

OK.

Danny's coming over.

What?

And I'm really glad
you didn't kill your sister.

What? Aidan!

Aidan, why... why is
Danny coming over?

Sally really,
really wanted to see him.

- Poh!
- Sorry.

OK, am I the only one who
thinks that Danny coming over

is a tremendously bad idea?

What if he sees you?

I'll crap rainbows,
I swear to God!

She's a ghost.
He ain't gonna see her.

Well, wait, sometimes
they do see them, normal people.

But he would have to be,
you know, open, mentally.

Danny's pretty open.

He voted for Hillary.

It's fine.

OK, look, if he sees you,

if he senses you,

do you have any idea
what that would do to him?

What it would do to us?

He could sell the place!

He could sell tickets

like that guy who saw Jesus
on the taco shell!

Listen, if he comes,

I think that Sally
should stay upstairs.

And I think that
you don't get a say.

On the stairs.
At least!

Top of the stairs.

And no peeking!

Oh, just...

don't be weird, OK?

- Yeah, I got it.
- You too, Amityville.

Top of the stairs.

Everyone just be... normal.

Got it.

Hey.

Top of
the morning to you, captain!

Oh jeez!

So, do you wanna check out
the sink first, or...

I'm just gonna go
check on the.......

Wait, upstairs?

But the breakers
are in the basement.

Yeah, right,
it's in the basement.

Sure, but I've got
a lot of stuff.

There's stuff plugged in
upstairs that I've got for work.

A lava lamp, radio.
Probably too many things.

A power strip plugged into
another power strip...

So, the sink...

What are you doing?

Just let me see him.

What if that's
the closure I need?

What if it's not?

What if it only
makes you feel worse?

Trust me, as bad as
you feel now,

there's always worse, OK?

So could you just...

Ah...

OK.

Do you know what you're doing?

Ha!

You know, when I
bought this place,

I thought, hey, this is
a perfect opportunity

for me to learn how to
fix stuff, you know?

And then I had to move out.

Everyone who moved in
complained about the plumbing.

And yeah...

I still have no idea.

I'm gonna have to...

come back with some books.

Good enough.

Hey, look, I know this place
has a certain...

Character?

Yeah, but it's been OK
here for you guys?

Nothing... Nothing weird's
happened or anything?

Define weird.

Well, just things
people have said

since I moved out, that it's...

I don't know, creepy.

I wouldn't say that.

We like creepy.

I think every home has an echo

of the people who
lived there before.

Yeah.

I guess I never really
thought of it like that.

There's a good echo here.

I, uh...

How did she...

If you don't mind my asking...

Yeah, how did she die.

We'd just moved in.

And the electrical was all...

well, you know...

We watched, um...
Marley & Me,

but she made me turn it off

when he had trouble
getting up the stairs.

We went up to bed.

She had this thing

where she would always get up
to go to the bathroom

the second she got into bed.

And there was no light
in the hall, and...

she turned the wrong way.

And...

She went...
down the stairs.

Yeah, when she didn't
come back to bed,

I went to see if she was OK.

Then I found her.

Right there.

I'm sorry.

I can't imagine the shock.

No, it's OK.

Thanks.

- What was she like?
- No, it's OK.

Ha! Sally?

She was amazing!
She was...

She lit up the place, you know,
everywhere she went!

She was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

But that's for VH1
Behind the Music, right?

Were you in a band or...

I'm, uh, gonna come back
for that sink.

I think we should further
explore what this is.

I'm sorry?

This.

I believe Dean Kane
called it "kismet."

When?

90210...

season 3...

He said it to Shanon Doherty.

Oh my God, I'm older than you!

I don't think so.

So, you live near that bar
on Commonwealth, right?

Yeah, me and Josh
live around there.

You know Josh.

Oh, the orderly. Right.

I think when we met,
he curtsied.

Did he?

Yeah.

Ah...

You OK?

Yeah, I've just been
trying to quit smoking.

One too many pieces
of nicotine gum.

Oh.

But you can still drink, right?

Because I was thinking that
maybe we could go to that bar

sometime after work.

Cara, full disclosure.
I'm not a lot of fun.

Oh no, me neither.

I'm, like, the opposite.

OK, well, I got rounds.

Sure. Great.

Don't wanna keep
the bedpans waiting!

Unh!

Ah!

Rebecca?

Did you just wet your pants?

A little bit?

People are worried you're dead.

There's a search.

Not a very good one.
I'm here, geniuses.

We should call someone.

Sure, in a minute.
We'll call everybody.

Ah! I can't believe I didn't
smell that stink a mile away!

Are you a werewolf?

Ah, gross!
It's in my hair!

You're a vampire?

Oh, that's right.
You live with Aidan.

Twisted little halfway house
you two are running.

Aidan...

Oh, there you go.
The wheels click.

You're a smart little doggie,
aren't you?

Yes, you are!
Yes, you are!

Aidan did this.

Ooh...

You look so surprised.

I'd watch myself if I were you.

Hey!

Hey. What's wrong?

You turned her into a vampire.

- What?
- Don't do that!

Don't pretend like
you don't know

what I'm talking about!

- Josh...
- Rebecca.

Just...

Rebecca's dead.

Oh! Oh...

Is that right?

I thought she was missing!

She just jumped me outside.

You had to turn Rebecca.

- Josh...
- Stop lying, Aidan!

I swear I didn't know.

You didn't know what?

That you turned her
into a monster

or that she'd be
such a good one?

No, what's the point
of any of this,

of playing house,

of... of drinking beers,

of joining Costco

if you're just gonna
kill all our friends?

Welcome to Sapp & Sons.

May I help you plan a special
goodbye for your friend or loved one?

What did you do with her?

You're gonna have to
be more specific.

I had a busy night.

Where is she?

Lunch break.

I assume she's out
catching a bite to eat.

Boys, boys.

You're both pretty.

What did you do?

I know life is long,

but let's not waste our time
with rhetorical questions.

You asked for our help.

I think we went
above and beyond.

I called for a cleanup.
You had no right to turn her.

Listen to yourself.
So selfish.

I asked you for a favour.

Yes, you did, and it's
not often that you ask.

It's not often that you slip.

So when you do,
well, forgive us,

but we just wanted to see for
ourselves what was so special.

She is quite a find.

A little wild, though.

But we'll forgive you that.

Perhaps you can assist us
in breaking her.

Where is she?

She seems to like the park.

Shady trees, pretty flowers,
happy people.

Light breeze carrying
the scent of fresh meat.

We worked hard on
her orientation, Aidan.

Don't go putting silly ideas
into her head.

Come on.

Hello?

Guys? Hello?

It's Danny!

Are you OK?

Are you?

A friend said
you had a condition.

Hey, are you...
Are you mad at me, Josh?

What? No.

Then why won't you talk to me?

I told you something
that I hadn't told anyone.

Next thing I knew,
you were gone.

I'm so sorry.

It's me, Josh.

What is such a secret
that you can't tell me?

I saw it yesterday, didn't I?

Or does it get worse?

This was a mistake.
I should leave you alone.

No. No. We're here.
We're talking.

What did you say to Julia?

Nothing.

If you didn't wanna marry her
and go to med school...

No, no, Em, it wasn't...

It wasn't that.
Something happened to me.

What?

It's dangerous, Em.

My life...

Yes, it gets worse.
It gets much, much worse.

Look, Jackie and I
are going home tomorrow.

I'm not letting you
leave us again.

I almost killed you.

I don't care.

Let me help you, Josh.

Please, come with us.

What the hell am I doing?

I don't know.

Danny, seriously,
call a plumber.

I'm the one who fixed
the toilet last time!

That time you brought me
breakfast in bed...

the morning
after you proposed...

You got the tray
all the way up the stairs

and then you dropped everything
when you got in the bedroom.

You chipped the mug.
Points for effort, though.

Why do you always come to
fix things by yourself?

Is it me?

Are you looking for me?

'Cause I might not
be here forever.

Or maybe I will.

Maybe you'll get sick
of playing plumber

and you'll sell the place

and marry and heiress
and move to Connecticut,

and I'll be stuck here
haunting monsters.

Danny!

Danny!

Do you even care?

Oh my God!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Whoa! Whoa!
What the hell?

It just happened!
I don't know!

I just got upset. I'll fix it.
I'll figure it out.

I'll think happy thoughts.

I better call a plumber.

Know what'll make me happy?
Tell Danny to stop ignoring me!

Maybe we should just shut off
the main line for now.

Yeah, yeah,
I'll get it on the way out.

I'm really sorry.

I'll send somebody over.

Rebecca...

You don't look
nearly surprised enough

to see a girl
you left for dead.

- I don't know where to begin.
- Try.

I've got an eternity.

I didn't want this for you.

- Better to kill me?
- Rebecca.

- You left me for dead!
- Can we walk?

I don't do this anymore.
I got weak with you.

And now I'm strong.

You know how terrified I felt
when I woke up in that room,

their eyes on me?

No idea what had happened,

where you were, what you were.

If I had any idea
he'd do that to you...

I get what came over you.
I've got it.

I wanna rip my skin off
half the time.

- I know.
- But the other half...

I feel like a goddess.

So thanks for that.

No.

Thank Bishop.

He's got a nice sales pitch.

But once the high wears off,

it is more gruesome
than you could realize.

We can go away together,
you and me.

Sure. Bed and
breakfast upstate?

We'll feed off
the leaf peepers.

I got you into this
so I could teach you.

Not sure I want advice from
the man who fell off the wagon.

But we can help
each other stay strong.

Please, I already know
the best way to keep strong

is to feed.

What happened to you?

Bishop told me
you were the best.

I was the worst.

Well, how can you
hate it so much?

Nothing can kill you.

That's not true.

Practically nothing
can kill you.

The volume has been
turned up in the world.

I really hear what people say,

how fast their hearts
are beating.

I can tell you what's for dinner
3 streets away.

And my body...

Yeah, it has its perks.

But you have to remember
who you were, who you loved.

I was pathetic.

I fell into bed with you
after 2 glasses of wine

and 20 minutes of swagger.

To hell with who I loved.

Dad never thought
I'd amount to much.

Wait till I grab him
by the throat

and eat his heart out.

Listen to me very carefully.
You do not wanna do that.

You will never
forgive yourself.

All those years
I spent being sorry?

Think how sorry
my sisters will be

when I drain
their babies lifeless.

It'll be the best family meal
we've had in years.

Ha. What?

Jealous?

I'm sorry.

I guess it takes that

"He doesn't even
know I'm alive" thing

to a whole new level.

Yeah.

Maybe I'm not
supposed to leave.

OK.

You saw it.

Maybe he couldn't
see me, but...

he felt something.

How could I not pursue that?

Because...

you're a monster.

And he's not.

And...

Trust me...

It ends bad.

You know, I was engaged.

You were?

Yeah.

I'll try not to take offence
to your extreme shock.

And she doesn't know?

What would I say?

I'm... I'm... What?

It's a miracle
I got her to love me once.

You don't know how she'd react.

Sally the Ghost.

That's asking him to swallow
a heck of a lot,

don't you think?

I've been dead for 6 months
with no sign of change.

If he gets scared...

if my feelings get hurt,

if a white light appears
and I walk into it...

what's the harm in trying?

You really wanna
go through the pain...

of losing him all over again?

I'm already dead.

So?

So you should come.

Why?

Aidan, no. Just don't.

Great. So you'll come then?

Just... I'll be right there.

Good.

Who was that?

Josh. He's coming over.

- Oh...
- OK, so, where were we?

He asked you if you had
anything in red.

No, seriously.

And, um, for those of you
keeping track,

that was the 4th pair of shoes!

You tried on 4 pairs of shoes
for a man with a shoe fetish?

Or 6 pairs of shoes.

Oh wow! OK! All right.

Well, I gotta give you credit
for staying with it.

Oh, why...
Why am I telling you this?

Oh, well, that's my curse.

Women like to tell me their
most embarrassing stories.

Well, you go.

You owe me.

I have nothing that bad.

Sure you do.

Shove over, babe.

You shouldn't be here.

Oh, hush!

She's cute.

What'd I miss?

Mmm! Well?

- I don't know.
- Well, let's see.

You told your sad
little story, right?

Now Aidan will tell you his,

and you'll laugh and he'll say
something self-deprecating.

I don't wanna ruin it for you.

Let's get on with it already.
Am I right?

You'll go back to your place.

He's selfish that way.

And then he'll give you
some "blah-blah-blah"

about Byron and his curse.

Rebecca.

Rebecca?

Oh...

I think she's got it.

Leave.

Hold on. I wanna see her face
when she puts it together.

Um...

I really shouldn't have
ditched my friends.

- Rebecca, look...

OK, I already told you no.

You screw me.
You kill me.

You never call.

You really know how to mess
with a girl's self-esteem.

Ugh!

I'm bored! Hey!

Wanna get out of here?

Uh, yeah.

Fantastic. Bye-bye.

- Wait.
- Why? You want in?

- You don't wanna do this.
- I'm pretty sure I do.

You go back to your friends.

You have a drink.
You forget about this one.

Just go home!

Yeah, OK, OK!

Just came out of nowhere!

Rebecca?

Ah! Ah!

Good doggie! Heel!

Ahh!

Cara. Hey, Cara.

No, no, no, no, no!

- There's too much blood. There's too much.
- Well, someone had to do it,

and you were taking
your sweet-ass time.

Mmm! I highly recommend
a bar kill.

She was sweet. A little oaky
and cheap, but still...

best Saturday night I've had
in a long time.

If we don't get help,
she's gonna die.

Oh, don't look so tragic.

Give her a sip.
She'll be fine.

Is that true?

Can you save her?

- It won't be saving her.
- Aw...

That's right.

You prefer to leave
your conquests for dead.

If you can save her...

please...

I can't!

I'm sorry.

So, this is it?

It's over, isn't it?

No.

They'll trace
Cara to Rebecca...

and Rebecca to you.

No.

We're spread so far.
Our networks run so deep.

This happens...

all the time.

Should have turned her,

And a nurse, no less.

That would have
been convenient.

I'm not interested in making
things convenient for you.

You and I aren't gonna have
a problem, are we, Aidan?

Not by me.

I'm afraid I'm gonna need

a little bit more
reassurance than that.

What's it gonna be?

Us... or them?

It was never a question.

Not really.

Maybe I am sentenced...

to a life in hell with you.

But here and now...

I choose them.

I never really
thought about it before,

how hard he must work

every single second
of his life...

not to be one of them.

I guess I just
take it for granted

he's as good as he is.

Do you think
he should have saved her?

I think he did.
