Being Human (2011–2014): Season 1, Episode 5 - The End of the World as We Knew It - full transcript

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

All night, I watched Danny and
Bridget swoon over each other.

Who is Bridget?

My best friend, who I now
realize is a brutal whore.

Bishop wants us to go after
more people of influence.

The hospital is off-limits
for recruiting.

I wanna take you out.

You talk me again,
it's your ass.

You know, you suck
at being a werewolf.

- What do you mean?
- I'm a werewolf too.

Ray's a pretty decent guy.



He's got nowhere to stay.
Maybe he could crash here.

- We hardly know him.
- What you gonna do?

Rip me to shreds
in this kitchen

and prove to your friend, Josh,

what a murderous scum
we both know you to be?

There are vampires in there?

Tear him apart!

Every culture has
its own way of saying goodbye.

a journey you take alone.

For some of us,
that journey takes us

on a hidden path
through a darker forest,

where instead of answers,

we only find a whole new
set of questions.

- Shut up and listen!

You're here to clean.

And it's like tapping
straight into a geyser.

You can decide later if
you're a lefty or a righty.

That's right.

The first gush is the freshest,

the sweetest, isn't it?

I feel like I am in a submarine

that is about to blow!

You have to stop.

This isn't me.

Ever since you got back from
talking to Danny and Bridget,

it has been Amityville
horror plumbing.

You are poltergeist-ing
your own house.

I said goodbye.
I made my peace.

- I gave them my blessing.
- Then why does it...

Why does it sound like
the house is gonna eat us?

I don't know. I...

I just...
I'm really...

I'm not trying to do anything.

Ok, well,

so there's just nothing
that you're upset about?

No.

- Nothing?
- Mm-mmm.

Oh!

Oh...

I don't know how
to make it stop.

That might be me.

I just flooded the toilet.

I think that the fact
that we are drowning in sewage

is a sign you
should be moving on.

You've been here for a month.

Yeah, I've got
so much joy in me,

not even your cadaverous
mug can ruin it.

Mmm... ah!

I'm starving after last night.

There's nothing like
a little late-night exercise

to get the appetite going.

I'm sure I don't wanna know
what you're talking about.

There he is.

Sleeping it off?

What happened there?

Oh, that was just some...

Drunk idiots...
Being idiots.

They were baked,
all bloated up.

The city is hell, man.

That's why I like the country,
the woods, nature...

But those degenerates,

they picked the wrong night
to walk on...

Ray...

And this boy, with the
puppy eyes, he's a killer.

It's the shy ones
you gotta watch out for.

The sink's, uh...

I know.
Call a plumber.

I'll call Danny.
Um, do you want a ride tonight?

You're off the hook. Me and
Josh are turning together.

Really?

Hey, Ray...

You sure about that?

Hey!

We're gonna meet at the shed
after sunset, right?

I just hope it's not
too much of a letdown

after stomping the crap out
of them fangers last night.

I just... I have to go
mail something, so...

We're gonna
run together, all right?

Unleashed!

Help us hold him!

- What's his story?
- Dahmer out there attacked him.

He was ripping out this
guy's neck with his teeth.

Poor guy stabbed him,
but he's so tweaked on PCP

or something, he...

I need the priest!
The priest!

Now he
finds religion. Convenient.

Aidan!

Mr. Sarin...
Mr. Sarin, do you remember me?

- I'm Aidan.
- You're the nurse.

Yes, and I thought we
said goodbye yesterday.

I screwed up.
I screwed up!

I need help over here!

You know what?
I got this.

I can't hear your heart.

Who did this to you?
Who turned you?

You're one of us?
Help me!

Shhh!

I didn't see the knife.

- The cops were on me...
- Shut up!

Why were you asking for
the priest? Did he do this?

- Get me out!
- How many did he turn?

- Help me!
- Sedative!

Get him!

- Stop him!
- Get out of the way!

I poured in
that drain-clog stuff.

The whole sink
started bubbling over.

That's pure acid.
It'll eat through the pipes.

Well, I didn't know
what else to do.

All the sinks, the toilet,
every drain's backed up.

Don't you have one
of those snake things,

or whatever you call them?

This is where Sally fell.

Mm-hmm.

Yep. Fell so hard,
I broke the floor.

I don't know, Danny.

Maybe it's time to
change out those tiles.

I know this
must be hard for you.

I'm glad you're here.

It makes it easier.

Hey, you're a raging
capitalist landlord now.

You gotta take care
of the place, right?

Think you can squeeze in?

Mary, can we get an IV?

Could Mr. Sarin find you?

How long have you been here?

Transferred from Summerville
a couple of days ago.

I gotta say, I miss
the bustle of a parish.

So you're a real priest?

Ordained 10 years ago.

Holy orders and everything.

But prayers, communion...

How do you give mass?

Nothing's changed for me.

I'm still saving souls,
just in a different way.

Six years ago,

I was dying
of cancer, lymphoma.

I was 34.

In the hospital,
as I looked into that...

Abyss, I suddenly knew.

I knew there was no afterlife.

God spoke to me
like he never had before.

Not in words,

but in a true
and sudden revelation.

This life is all we get.

It was so clear.

And that wasn't enough for you?

Of course not!
I was 34. I wanted to live.

A doctor, a very smart
and sympathetic woman,

pitied me

and offered me another option.

Don't you see?

God saved me.

I asked him.
I begged him to save me.

And he did.

So you think that God

wanted you to become a vampire?

Well, if God made everything,
then he made vampires too.

Jesus himself
rose from the dead.

Oh, are you saying
that Jesus was a...

Gets you thinking, doesn't it?

Look, I don't care what
your perverted theology is,

there is no turning
in this hospital.

Well, unfortunately,
you don't get to make that call.

What does that mean?

Bishop's the one
who brought me here.

So it's gonna be a scary year,
but it's gonna be ok.

It's gonna be fine.

Please call 7428.

I'll see ya soon.

What are you doing
with Mrs. Maida?

Excuse me?

Don't bother my patients.
She just had...

Hip surgery.
Yeah, I know.

She needs to rest.

I'm pretty sure that chatting
with her about her son

is not going to
endanger her hip.

- Her son?
- Her son.

The youngest, Sunil,

he's in Costa Rica for a year
and she's convinced

that he's gonna be macheted
to death by maoist rebels.

I assured her that
Costa Rica's a democracy.

It's peaceful.

And it's very economically
developed for the region.

Fascinating, you listen to NPR.

Since when are you
and Mrs. Maida so tight?

Oh, I was taking her down
to radiology the other day,

and she mentioned that
she never gets any visitors.

So I said that I
would visit her.

Is that all right with you?

It beats mopping up vomit

and changing urine-scented
sheets, right?

Yeah, well, it would...

Except it's my day off.

Sally?

Will you stop it?

Sally's not here.

I feel like
I could make contact.

You remember when
she spoke to me?

Oh, for God's sake,
she didn't speak to you!

She did.
Well, I... I felt her.

Do you even think about
how this makes me feel?

You constantly bringing her up?

I'm sorry.

It's just...

If you were there, you would...

Danny?

I snaked all the drains.

All I found was
a hair clog in the shower.

So that was it?

That would cause the drains
to be a little slow...

Sorry, Bridg.

...But it wouldn't cause
a whole system backup.

I don't think it's this either.

A rock like that
can't back up anything.

It's Sally's ring.

Dammit!

Hey, I thought we were
watching a movie.

I lost my engagement ring.

It fell.

- What?
- It was right here.

I was washing my hands and
it just slipped down the drain.

And I could see it.

I tried to reach in and
I pushed it down further.

Why'd you take it off?

It's a little loose

and I was afraid it would
slip off with the soap.

Oh, so you just
leave it on the sink.

You never told me it was loose.

I thought...
Danny, come on.

- We'll take the sink apart.
- Why bother?

What do mean,
"why bother?"

The ring obviously doesn't
mean anything to you,

if it's even in there.

Ok, look, it was stupid.

Ok? I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have
left it on the sink.

I feel like a real idiot here.

Danny...

When else do you take it off?

- When you go out with the girls?
- Of course not.

Maybe you left it
in some guy's bed!

How the hell am
I supposed to know?

Oh, I know what
this is about.

- It was too crappy for you.
- You know I love that ring!

Then where the hell is it!

I told you, it fell!

Ah! Ah!

What was
the ring doing in the pipes?

How am I supposed to know?

Maybe the house was
trying to tell you something.

The house wanted you
to have the ring.

Look, Sally was always
losing it, all right?

She could never keep it on.

The house was trying
to tell me how I died.

♪ I don't know why ♪

♪ our lives
aren't the same... ♪

I told you no
recruiting at the hospital.

Well, you don't
tell me anything.

Oh, you had
to have Sarin, right?

Because he is
just so... what?

What? What is he exactly?

Do you know that he died
completely friendless?

Childless, estranged
from his parents.

Lucky for him, he was
exquisitely provided for

by the family estate.

Pharmaceuticals, apparently.

Ok, so you turned him
for the money.

Ooh, that is so noble.

When you call for a cleanup,
who do you think pays for that?

The manpower, the body bags,

the bribes to make people
turn the other way.

We are vampires, you realize,
and not magicians.

And turning a priest,
that's what? Just for laughs?

Well, nobody sells
eternal life like a priest.

Since when do you
need to sell it?

Anytime that you want someone,
you just take him...

Or her.

That's right.
You missed the meeting.

Um, I'm only turning
the willing now.

The influential, the useful,

people like Sarin
and father gates.

You remember when Lincoln

used the archbishop
to sell the union cause?

I was too busy fighting
a war to read the papers.

Yes, you were very young.

Well, uh, it turns out,

all the great monarchs
have always had

holy men by their sides
to consecrate wars...

Boost their egos.

...Win over the masses,

from Charles I to,
hell, George W.

Everyone's used religion.

Used it for what?

You remember how we used to say

that being a vampire
was almost perfect?

But the lying, the hiding,

the stifling day job
to cover our tracks

is exhausting and tedious.

When we have the numbers
and we have the power,

we won't have to hide.

We can live
right out in the open.

You're not serious.

Don't tell me you haven't
thought about it.

How many times have you
drilled it into me?

Keep a low profile,
blend in, be invisible.

'Cause we had to.

Soon we won't.

What happened to you, Bishop?

You're asking me?

I can barely stand to look
at you, starving and weak.

I can't tell if
you're delusional...

Now, I have been very
patient and understanding

and even helpful during
your little experiment,

but it is time
to wake up, Aidan.

We live forever, humans don't.

Do the math.

It's evolution.

It's nature taking its course.

Yeah, there's nothing
natural about us.

♪ We'll start to unwind ♪

♪ don't look behind
I'll show you how... ♪

♪ I pack up today ♪

♪ let's go
let's get away... ♪

You're so confused, Aidan.

You don't even know
what you are.

You're a vampire
playing a human

while shacking up
with an animal.

And a rabid one at that.

Of course... hmm...

How could he tell you?

Tell me what?

Your wolf has
a taste for vampires.

Muzzle your dog, Aidan,
or we will.

♪ Will not come back again ♪

Glad you decided to come.

Ready? Huh?

Sally?

The house,
the pipes, it was me.

I was trying to
tell myself all along.

What do you mean?

It turns out,
I didn't just die.

Danny killed me.

Oh, your face!

It was an accident.
What happened?

You'd never guess it
by looking at him.

He's so sweet-looking, but...

Danny has a temper.

I never let myself see it.

"He's passionate."
That's what I told myself.

"He's crazy in love with me
and that's why he's so jealous."

Sally, I am so, so sorry.

We had a fight.

He was in a rage
and he shoved me.

And I fell down the stairs.

All these times
that he has been here,

going on about you.

He just stood there.

He looked at the evidence
and walked away.

He blamed it on me!

- Where are you going?
- I'll be back.

No! Don't!

He's not getting
away with this.

Please!

Please.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Can you feel it coming?

I enjoy this.

I wish I could
close my eyes, wake up,

and it'd be morning.

This is just the beginning.

You and me.

Tomorrow we start.

We'll find more of us.

With your bulbous brain,
it'll be easy.

Why would we do that?

A pack, Josh!
Think about it.

A whole team of us
running together,

living together,
like nature intended.

Nature? You think
this is natural?

It'll be incredible!

Nothing to hide from
each other, nothing to fear.

Vampires couldn't touch us.

Yeah, but a pack would only
make us more dangerous.

Exactly! Invincible!

Safe.

What we did last night
to those vampires,

we... we never would
have done that alone.

They're murdering
leeches, Josh.

I don't care!

I lost control.
I gave in to the wolf!

Your wolf!

I never want to do that again.

All right.

Maybe I pushed you too far.

We can take it slower.

I don't wanna take it slower.

I was gonna tell
you this tomorrow,

after the Moon...

But I think it's time
you headed out.

You're joking.

No.

Thank you.

I'm grateful

for everything that
you've taught me, but...

I can manage.

You can't even say "transform"

without looking like
you're gonna puke.

You keep on talking
about the wolf

like it's some kind of
monster in a fairy tale,

like it's not you!

It isn't me!

It's an infection, a disease!

You don't have to suffer!

You don't have to be alone,
none of us do.

I...

I think maybe changing together
isn't such a good idea.

What? Now you're gonna sulk?

You take the shed.
I'll find another place.

I won't abandon you

while you're living
with that bloodmonger.

Come on, Josh!
It's not safe.

We protect each other.

No, we don't!
You make it worse for me.

You make everything
worse for me.

You don't understand.

I've been looking
for you for two years!

Two years?

I wanted to tell you earlier.

I'm the one you met
on that camping trip.

No.

I'm the one who turned you.

I'm the one who
gave you this gift.

You can't be.

I was roaming
the forest in Maine.

I attacked two backpackers.

One of them died.

And one was wounded,
a scratch on the shoulder.

I checked the paper
for days after.

I found your name.

You killed my friend!

But you survived.
You're the only one, Josh.

I've been trying to find you.

I've been tracking
you ever since.

Why? Why?

Why wouldn't you
just leave me alone?

I couldn't.

Every time I closed my eyes,

I saw you lying there
in the woods.

I couldn't stop thinking.

I had to see what
was your life like.

My life?

My life!

I don't...
I don't have a life!

My family, my fiancée,

my whole future...

You should've...
You should've killed me.

No, don't say that.

Why didn't you?

There were voices,
screaming, men coming.

You know how it is,
just flashes of memory.

The wolf is a gift, Josh.

I was just like you at first.

This is not a gift!

It's a curse!

Feel it! Feel it!

We're faster and stronger
than any human.

I don't wanna be this!

We're more alive, Josh!

We're the best of
human and animal.

All this time.

All this time,
you've been coaching me,

pretending to help me
manage my condition.

And you're the one
who did this to me!

What kind of
sick freak are you?

I'm your friend.

What do you want from me?

What do you want?

I thought if I helped you...

If you needed me,

you'd let me in.

What are you talking about?

I saw what you have:

Your house,
your friends, your job.

I wanted that too.

I wanted what I used to have.

I had a wife, a son.
I lost everything!

Ah!

Anyone you'd like to pray for?

You seem troubled.
I'll pray for you.

I've been doing this
for over 200 years.

You've done it for six.

Dammit, and you still look 25.

Sometimes I think:

"If I'd just turned
a little earlier..."

I remember six.

You still remember the faces

of the people
that you've killed,

most of them anyway.

But they're just
starting to fade now,

aren't they?

I have killed so many people...

That their faces are a blur.

I used to think that I would
go crazy trying to remember.

But when you can't,

when there's too many,
when it has been too long...

That's when it gets scary.

Or liberating.

I've seen people come in here.

They sit, pray.
They seem at peace.

Church is a sanctuary, right?

Does it mean
the same for you now

as before you turned?

When there's no one here,

when it's empty...

I can feel him here with me.

I've stopped... feeding.

And this whole hospital,
I need it.

I need a place to go
where we are not.

So you pick a place
full of bleeding bodies

to go straight?

I can help people
move on to the death

that I will never have.

You're lying to yourself.

If you wanna die, you could
end it anytime you want.

We could do it right now.

That's it.

Don't... don't fight it.

Lean into it.
Let it take you.

You want to live,
and that's ok.

We all do.

God intended for us
to live forever.

Adam and Eve were immortal
before the fall.

It's our natural state.

"I am the resurrection
and the life.

"He who believes
in me will live,

"even though he dies."

I get it.
You're completely unhinged.

Ah!

No more.

No more.

Ah! Ah!

The first time we met...

I don't blame you.

You had no control.

You didn't know
what you were doing.

But the second...

You should have stayed away.

All I wanted was
to find the last person

I had a connection with.

The connection of a murderer
to the man he's killed?

You don't know what it's like.

I've been so lonely for years.

You expect me to
feel sorry for you?

You think you're
better than me?

You think you won't
do what I've done?

I'm not like you, Ray.

The wolf is you,
and you are the wolf.

The only difference
between you and me

is that I know what I am.

I accept it.

And I never will.

Give it a few years,

or five, or ten.

This is it, Josh.

It's a life sentence, brother.

One day, you'll know
what it's like,

everything I'm saying,
and you'll come looking for me!

Josh!

Josh!

Josh!

Dinner.

Ok...

Whoa!

You remember that neither
of us actually eats, right?

Well, fake it, you know?

Do what all the anorexic girls
in my high school used to do.

Push your food around, nibble,
pretend to chew, whatever.

I don't care.

We are all sitting down to
a hot, delicious meal together.

Ok.

Ok...

We have to hang on to
some rituals of normalcy.

Mmm!

Divine.

Thank you.

See?

This is nice.
It's been...

Well, never since we all
shared a meal together.

You're right!
Thanks, mom.

Aidan told me.

I'm so sorry.
Do you...

There's nothing more to say.

Aidan...

How was work? I didn't
see you on the shift today.

Ok then.

So, what happened with Ray?

Ray's gone.

And the other night, those, uh,

degenerates you rolled?

That's gone too.

Oh!

Fun tidbit.

Turns out that Ray...

Is the one that did this to me.

He made me what I am.

You're kidding.

Are you ok?

Oh yeah, I'm awesome.
I'm incredible.

I mean, who wouldn't
wanna meet their were-dad?

Could you pass
the salad, please?
