Being Human (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 10 - Dream Reaper - full transcript

After her murderous rampage, Sally is trapped in a coma -- so the boys turn to the ghost whisperer to save her. But when Sally's reaper returns, they're the ones who will need saving.

(Sally):Previously on Being Human...

We're sort of seeing each other.

So when it came down to it,

you'd rather die every
single day than date me.

The longer a ghost circles
the drain, crazier a ghost.

You killed all of them!

I didn't do anything.
It was him!

Sally! There is no Reaper.

Don't you get it, Sally?

You are me.

You killed them all yourself.



(Grunting)

(Groaning)

- Sally!
- No!

(Medium):Salt binds
the spirit to the house.

Guys, let me out.

(Deep voice):
I said let me out of here!

We'd all like to think
that we're strong,

that we're capable of
solving our own problems.

Sally! Sally!

- Sally!
- Yeah, not helping.

What's the
non-corporeal equivalent

to cold water in the face?

I don't know.
She's out cold.

Man, you've been around
500 years and you've



never dealt with a catatonic ghost?

I am not that old!

Oh, look, I'm a vampire.

I'm not a ghost whisperer.

I've never seen an9thing like this.

(Sally):We say to ourselves:
"I can do this.

"I will conquer this rough patch

"and emerge a more confident,
a more accomplished me."

Where do you think she is right now?

(Birds chirping)

Sometimes you're right.

(Laughing)

Sometimes all it takes
is focus, direction

and your own will to make it through.

No, Mom, I really
don't need details. Thank you.

But to solve the problem,

you first have to
acknowledge that it exists.

And sometimes,

your most challenging obstacle
isn't circumstance,

isn't some external force
or another person.

It's you.

And in the end,

most of us don't have that
strength to face that music...

I smell bacon.

...to admit that we're flawed.

And then you're stuck.

Eggs under red.

Mmm!

Your favourite.

Mmm!

You can't save yourself

if you don't know
the danger you're in.

(Car honking)

How do we fix this?

I don't know.

Are we gonna brainstorm

or are we giving up on her?

That's not what I mean.

I get it. In a pinch,
you do what you gotta do.

We snap her neck,
call in the cleaners.

We could drag her to
the woods, tie her to a tree,

beat her to a pulp, break her arms.

- We're going there?
- Yeah.

Good! I can understand
the hostility.

I got all this skin
on my face, after all.

It must be hard to talk to somebody

with all this skin on their face.

Hold on!
What are we doing?

I don't know. I'm just--

I'm just extra testy right now.

- It's the full moon tonight.
- Yeah.

That's not the only
reason I'm pissed off!

OK! Yeah.
I know, I know.

(Sighing)

It's been over 24 hours
since I last drank live.

And live, that's worse
or better than...

It's pretty serious withdrawal, yeah.

Well, you need
to go find someone--

- I'm not going to do that!

We need help.

Zoe.

She's the only ghost wrangler
I can think of.

And Sally just shredded her boyfriend.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that.

- Maybe leave that part out.
- Yeah.

When you make that plea
to save Sally...

Yeah.

...just omit
that entirely.

(Door closing)

(Siren)

(Elevator bell dings)

Zoe!

(Grunting)

Did you just give blood?

(Chuckles)

Um, I gotta talk to you about Sally.

Sally? Sally, who eviscerated
an entire ghost support group?

I don't think so.

What?

What were you talking about?

No!

Uh, OK, listen to me.

Um, Sally is very, very sick,

and we think that you're
the only hope that she's got.

Please just listen.

Aw! Friggin'
water heater!

Reason 110 we need to
move out of this house.

I will never understand why

you're so attached to this place.

(Sighing)

I've just...

I've always felt...

I don't know... right here.

But we could do so much better.

This is what happens, Sally.

People fall in love.
Poof! The ring comes.

They get central heating,

if it actually works.

Listen, we've got the
engagement party this weekend.

(Giggles)

All of our friends will be here.

We could make it a dual celebration.

(Laughing)

Moving on?

Moving out.

Think about it?

♪ You can be outside ♪

♪ Is bright, bright, brighter ♪

♪ Bright, bright,

I know I'm risking a total
repeat of the Nora debacle,

but can you blame me?

I mean, Julia represents everything

that I thought I'd never have.

And honestly-- I mean,
can we be honest here?

She is way hotter than when I left.

(Door opening)

And we're back?
Did you find her?

Oh, thank God!

Zoe, welcome.

All right.

Start from the beginning.

Uh, OK, well, we came home

and Sally was different,

like something else had taken over.

And then she goes all...

Linda Blair hell spawn
on us and --

I don't think I'm
exaggerating here --

tries to kill us

like you do when you're a hell spawn.

Right, so we dispersed her
with a fire iron,

she pops up here on
the landing where she died,

and here we are, lights out.

Idiot.

Excuse me?

Oh, not you.

Well, sort of you, but mostly me.

I should've seen this coming.

I mean, the first time
Sally mentioned the Reaper--

- Reaper? Wt?
Did I miss something?

Yeah, Sally thought that there
was a reaper sent to kill her

when she passed up her door.

And en the reaper offered her a job.

It was a thing.

The shadow guy from her dream door?

Yeah, I think the Reaper
is, like, her alter.

I mean, everything he's
supposed to stand for,

balancing the universe, judgement...

She thought she tipped the scales

when she passed up her door?

I mean, she was waiting for the worst.

And then she made it happen.

Good. All right.
We fight back.

OK, what if this Reaper wins

and we can't pull Sally out of this?

If the Reaper wins
I think that means he wins.

He takes over Sally as we know her

and when she wakes up,
it wouldn't be her anymore.

(Sighing)

But we can talk to her.

Maybe she can hear us.

She can't hear me.

I've been talking to her all day.

Oh, come on, Justin.
You met her at a Dane Cook show.

She's your plus one?
Kill me.

(Scoffs)

(♪ Chiming ♪)

Hmm!

(Beeping)

(Ding)

(Dinging)

OK, Aidan.

Freaking me out a little here.

Wrong Sally, son.

(Beeping)

(♪ Chiming ♪)

Yeah, no.

(♪ Chiming ♪)

Bye, weirdo.

(♪ Chiming ♪)

Is this good?

She's talking back.

We're reaching her.
Aidan, keep talking.

Sally, we're here for you.

Can you hear us?

Quit, quit, quit...

What the hell?

(Keyboard clicking)

Ah! Oh my god!

Shhh!

Scott, you scared the crap out of me!

It's OK!

Oh...

It's OK.

What's wrong?

This guy online just
kept sending me messages.

I quit chat and I just shut it down

and it just kept coming back.

It's probably just a virus.

I'll take it to my guy at work.

Don't worry.

I'll fix it, babe.

(Slamming)

(Josh):
Did she just lock us in?

Are you kidding me?

(Grunting)

You see this?

The whole house is sealed shut.

Uh, she-- He-- They--
They locked us in.

Why? What did we do?

I don't know!

Really, Sally? Really?

You know it's past 4:00.
- I know.

Full moon's up in
4 hours. If I'm not out--

- Keep your voice down.
It's a little bit--

- Annoying? Like nails
on chalkboard?

You know what else is annoying?

There is a human being
walking around upstairs

who has no idea that if we're
not out of here, she's dinner.

Don't you think you're
being a touch dramatic?

You are not credible right now!

Incidentally, when were you planning

on letting me in on
this Reaper situation?

Our friend gets recruited to
be a supernatural assassin,

you figure, keep Josh in the dark.

Sally didn't want you involved.

All this stuff with Nora, she
thought you couldn't handle it.

Oh, but you can? What about
you and any of your behaviour

in the last several months
suggests that you can handle it?

- Obviously I didn't, so--
- You can't think straight?

Because you haven't
killed anyone recently.

Let's make something clear.

Your hands aren't
exactly clean either.

I checked all the windows upstairs.

Nothing's moving or breaking.

It-it-- I'm
sure it'll pass.

It's just Sally being Sally.

Silly Sally.

So silly.

- What? We're screwed!
- Thank you, I--

- You've seen this before,
right? She'll snap out of this?

Not necessarily.

And i-i-if she doesn't,
what's your plan?

You can't just shack up
with a ghost shredder.

- You'd have to--
- Exorcize her?

You can't let her, that, run free.

I mean, even if you exorcize her,

she'd still be out there,
just in a different place.

Unless we can figure
out how to shred--

- No, no!
Absolutely not.

There's something we can try.

(Woman 1 on TV):What is
with you, anyway?

Wow, you murdered that bowl.

Where are you going?

(Man 1):
What the hell...

What you gonna do about it?

(Chuckles)

(Woman 2):To better
my life in the streets.

With extra cheesy powder, please!

(Woman 3):
I was expecting someone...

(Man 2):
Today's my birthday.

Today's not your birthday, Andrew.

I won't stay long.
I promise.

Fine!

(Aidan, echoing):
You seen this before, right?

(Josh, echoing):
Sally?

(Footsteps)

(Josh talking, indistinct)

I've been talking to her all day.

(Zoe):
Maybe she can hear us.

Sally was...

We're screwed!
We can talk to her.

Hello?

(Aidan):
Sally, we're here for you!

(Josh):
Sally, can you hear me?

(Josh and Aidan):
Sally! Sally!

(Aidan):We're here for you!
Can you hear us?

- Sally, can you hear me?
- Sally!

She thought she tipped the scales...

What's the non-corporeal...

Who are you?

What do you want?

(Voices talking, indistinct)

- Aaah!
- Whoa, whoa!

(Panting)

Are you OK?

Let's get you upstairs.

It started yesterday.

(Crickets chirping)

I saw something in the
reflection on the toaster.

A guy.

Just for a second and
then he was gone.

You think I've lost
my chickens, don't you?

- No.
- You do!

Shhh...

What else?

Before, the computer.

Sally, nothing was there.

I know, but there was.

(Sighing)

I used to think haunted
houses, the supernatural

was just a bunch of crap.

(Chuckling)

Then it started happening to me.

Nothing's happening to you.

What if it is?

What if the house is
trying to tell me something?

Maybe it's... a ghost.

Sally.

What? What
is it, then?

You tell me.

When I was 10 years old,

my Dad had finally saved enough money

to move us out of our dingy apartment.

He and Mom were so excited

that I was heartbroken.

I lived in that place my whole life.

Are you saying that I'm 10?

(Chuckles)

That leaving this house

is hitting me harder than I thought?

And as the move got closer

I became convinced that...

gnomes were living in the walls

and the gnomes needed me
to stay and be their friend.

Gnomes, yeah?

(Laughing)

Turns out they were just rats.

Sometimes a house is just a house.

But it felt so real.

Of course it $id.

No one can trick you better than you.

(Sighing)

Get some rest.

You'll feel better in the morning.

I promise.

You're gonna do what now?

I call it a mind meld.

Uh, isn't that
just a little--

How?

Ghosts are essentially
conscious energy, right?

Some people are naturally
receptive to that energy.

And in rare cases,

some can even tap into
a conscious portion of it.

Rare, being you?

Yeah.

It's super awesome being a freak.

The first time this happened,
I was 14 at a slumber party.

While the other girls
were experimenting

with Light as a Feather,
Stiff as a Board,

I snuck into the laundry room
with my ghost friend, Tucker.

He was 13 and had a highly
active imagination.

He created this beautiful fantasy world

he wanted to share with me.

It was incredible.

(Heart beating)

That sounds lovely, doesn't it, Aidan?

Oh, yeah. Intense.

Melding isn't easy.

It takes a lot of practice
and a lot of skill.

So you do this often?

Sort of.
I mean, it's similar

to how I connect human and ghost
energies during reincarnation.

Oh, because that is
a thing that you do.

Is there anything
that we can do to help you?

Just be quiet.

It takes a lot of
concentration to get in.

Well, is there a world in
which you don't get out?

I mean, if Sally stays in,
does that mean you...

stay in too?

Maybe my conscious would,

and my body would become a vegetable.

Yeah, uh, that would suck.

I don't know. This stuff doesn't
really come with instructions.

(Screeching)

(Deep voice): Try it and
I'll rip you to shreds!

Sally.

We know you're in there.

Come back to us.

(Deep voice):
She can't hear you.

(Chuckling)

She won't help you.

Reaper?

Just let us talk to Sally, please.

I already told you.
Sally's gone.

It's just me now.

And I'm not going anywhere.

(Laughing)

Oh, daddy bird gave all the food

to his tender, helpless
offspring, didn't he?

Not even a nibble for himself.

Look at you.
What a hot mess.

- Listen.
- Ah!

It's like this.

You need to let us
out of this house now.

Oh! Poor little puppy...

(Kissing)

...trapped in here
all day, not even a walk.

Timing's a bitch, huh?

What? No Nora to
rub your tummy

and give you treats

and pick up after you
crap on everything?

No, it's Julia's turn
to be ruined by you...

again.

Let... Sally... go.

Now you know how she felt,

left alone here day after day.

You did this to her, not me.

I'm protecting her.

You're gonna rip each
other to shreds tonight.

(Sally laughing)

Just a couple more hours
and you'll all be dead.

She'll finally be free of you.

- Uh, what?
- This isn't real.

(Chuckling evilly)

We're your friends.

Some friend you are, Aidan!

Am I right, Josh?

Upstairs? You can
smell it, can't you, Josh?

It's seeping through the wood.

No amount of scrubbing is
ever gonna get it out. Not ever.

You'll always know what he did here

in your home.

Some friend you are.

OK, what the hell
is she talking about?

Zoe.

Sweet, awkward Zoe.

So clueless.

Tick-tock, tick-tock,
tick-tock.

Oh, these boys.
So forgetful.

They forgot to tell you the
catch of this rescue mission.

- Sally, please.
- DON'T CALL ME THAT!

(Wind blowing)

You're gonna die in here tonight.

And the best part...

(Chuckling)

...is that Nick won't
be waiting for you

on the other side.

(Sighing)

Sally shredded him this morning.

(Laughing evilly)

Ah!

(Gasping)

(Shower running)

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ Come with me outside ♪

Hey, Sal!
You almost ready?

Yeah, just about!

(Aidan):
Zoe, please.

- You knew and you lied to me!
- I know.

I'm sorry about lying.
I'm sorry about Nick.

But you can't give up on her, please.

Oh, she can rot in there!

But I don't care if
we're locked in. I can wait!

She'll get tired eventually.

Zoe, we can't think
in eventual terms, OK?

We just don't-- We don't
have that kind of time.

Well, what makes your time
so much more special than mine?

She shredded my boyfriend!

So if I don't feel like
I'm in a rush to help her,

then kill me.

(Crying)

- I'm a werewolf.
- I'm a vampire.

What?

I'm a werewolf and he's a vampire

and that's how we can see ghosts.

It's like we're different
countries on the same continent.

And-and if I'm not far away
from here in an hour or so,

you will be in mortal danger.

Mortal danger, right.

Yeah, this isn't a joke.

(Chuckling)

So-so you're gonna turn into
a wolf and have me for dinner.

OK, listen very carefully.
He's telling you the truth.

Oh, of course.
Of course it's the truth.

You get to be the cool vampire.

Everybody wants to
be the cool vampire.

We're not making this up!

You got it!

I'm not making this up!

(Fangs clicking)

(Gasps)

Holy crap!

You're monsters.

Thank you.

Wow! How are you?

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hey. Great party!

(♪ House on stereo ♪)

(Woman):
♪ Stars tonight ♪

♪ Tonight ♪

♪ On me... ♪

You were right.

How's that?

Tonight, having everyone here.

It just-- It does
feel like the right way

to say goodbye to this place.

Really?

Really.

Ah! Hot!

(laughing)

Hot! Hot!
Ow, ow!

(Giggling)

Oh! It's high time
we left this place.

I'm so glad you see it.

(All chattering)

It smells like a slaughterhouse
up in your room, Aidan!

None of those doors are
gonna last more than 5 seconds.

The wolf's gonna smell
the blood and go nuts

and then he'll smell Zoe
and go even more nuts!

He's gonna rip through this place
like it was made of cardboard!

Really? You're just
gonna leave Zoe there

with Miss Dead by Dawn
Swallow Your Soul?

Go sit with her!

Come on!

(Josh sighing)

I gotta think.

I gotta think.

(Sighing)

Oh my god!

(Sniffing)

Hello.

I--I--I'm gonna need a power
drill and some ratchet straps.

Or a chain.

Or s-something.

I'm gonna change in
the friggin' fridge.

Come on!

Come on!

(Grunting)

Aidan!

Get your ass in here!

(Heart pounding)

(Cork pops)

- Oh!
- Aaah!

Oh my god!

Sorry.

Did I get ya?

Reaper.

Here, some napkins.

Oh my god!
Thank you.

No problem.

I'm sorry.
I don't think we've met.

Are you a friend of Scott's?

No, Sally.
I'm your friend.

I'm Zoe.

Try to remember.

Remember...

Reality.

None of this is real.

You're living in a dream world

and you need to wake up now.

Oh, wait. You're--

Yeah, you're Melinda, right?

You're Scott's improv
friend from college.

Scott is not who you think he is.

He's dangerous, but he isn't real.

He's trying to make you forget,

trying to keep you
right where he wants you.

But this, this world
you're living in right now,

it's a lie.

OK, um, thanks for coming,

but I think maybe you should leave.

No, Sally.
You need to leave.

Your friends, your real
friends, Aidan and Josh,

they sent me here to find you.

Aidan and-- Why are
you saying those names?

Because they sent me here to find you.

I don't know anybody
named Aidan or Josh.

They're your roommates!

You live with them in this house,

in Boston, in reality.

Aidan from Boston?

Yes. Yes!

Aidan from Boston.

You're dead, Sally.

You died and you're a ghost.

Right now, you're trapped
in a fantasy you created.

You did things, horrible things
you couldn't live with,

so you escaped to this.

And it might seem easier to stay here,

but I promise you, it's not.

What did I do?

You killed Nick.

No.

No, that's impossible.

(Gasps)

(Gasps)

Nick?

Sweetie, please tell me

you're Scott's improv friend,

because you're really
freaking me out right now.

(Glass clinking)

Babe! Over here.

(Nick clearing throat)

He isn't real.

None of this is real.
Please remember.

Sally, wait!

(Gasps)

(Skin tears)

Oh! Oh, God!

Aidan! Stop!

(Both grunting)

- Are you crazy? No!
- Let go!

- What's wrong with you?
- I need a bit more.

She's trying to save our friend!

(Both grunting)

If you ever get
in my face again, I--

- What? You'll kill me, huh?
You'll kill Zoe?

You're gone, man.

You started feeding live!

You murdered those 2 girls,
those 2 human beings

under our roof!

This sacred place!

Does it stop, Aidan?
When does it stop?

I feel like I'm the
only one trying anymore,

like I'm dangling off
a cliff by my fingertips

and you're up there stomping on them!

I know! I know!

Oh my god, Josh!
Those 2 girls!

(Sobbing)

What am I supposed to do, Josh?

What am I supposed to do?

I can't survive without
blood. I need it.

Everything just slipped
out of my control.

I thought that I could be different.

I thought that I could
be better, but I can't.

I just can't.

(Sobbing)

What are you doing?

I'm holding on...

for all of us.

Go ahead.

(Sniffling)

Do it.

I can't.

Kind of out on a limb here.

Vampires don't drink werewolves.

- Why?
- I don't know!

Because of the smell!

- Come on!
- I always took it as a warning.

Either way, it's just
something we don't do,

we don't ever do, ever!

If this is one of those
vampire Jim Crow laws,

you need to get over it.

I have blood, you need blood,

and Zoe's not an option, OK?

- Listen to me.
- OK.

I'm strong now, right?

I can handle it.

You need it.
You said so yourself.

(Sighing)

Just do it, man.

Do it.

(Sniffs)

Just do it before I change my mind.

(Sighing)

Mm-hmm.

Oh! No.

- Oh, come on!
- Just give me a minute!

I'm gonna change my mind!

(Fangs click)

(Both groan)

OK.

(Morning)

(Slurping)

Like, it just--
It tastes different.

Diff-different how?

Oh, you know what? I just ate
a bunch of asparagus. Aaah!

(Groaning)

Oh, I need to go!

- What?
- Oh my god!

You-you OK?

Is it bad?
It was disgusting.

- No! No, no, no!
- It's disgusting.

It's good! It's good!

(Sighing)

It's too good. Whoo!

It's, uh... Wow!
Oh-ho-ho!

I feel, like, this tingling.
It's just all over, everywhere!

So we're glad we drank me.

Weird thing is
I barely even touched you.

- Yep!
- That's just-- Whoo!

Huh!

(Sighing)

- You all right?
- Yeah.

You gonna be OK?

(Coughing)

You OK?

(Coughing)

Aidan?

(Retching)

Aidan? Oh my god!

Aidan, Aidan!
Are you OK, man?

Aidan, Aidan, Aidan!
Breathe, breathe, breathe...

Aidan?

(Choking)

Aidan, Aidan...

Scotty, boy!

How long have we been friends?

Since you stole my Lando
Calrissian action figure

and blamed it on the fat kid.

(All chuckling)

So about a year then?

(All laughing)

Look, don't worry. I'll save
the really embarrassing stuff

for the wedding toast.

(Zoe):
You're dead, Sally.

You died and you're a ghost.

I guess setting you two up
was the right call, huh?

(Guests chuckling)

He didn't introduce us.

...the look in his eyes
after the first date.

I have never seen you fall
so hard so fast...

Nick never knew Scott.

(Nick):
Here we are, right?

He couldn't have.

(Nick talking, indistinct)

He died.

Nick drowned.

(Coughing)

Excuse me.

(Gasping)

That's it, Sally!
You're remembering! Keep going!

(Gasps)

Back down, bitch!

Scott, no!
What are you doing?

(Gasping)

Aidan, just breathe.
Just breathe. Come on, man.

(Groaning)

You're OK!

(Screaming)

(All groaning)

No! No!

(Aidan screaming)

(Screaming)

Where is everyone?

You weren't feeling well.

I sent them all home.

That's a lie.
You're in charge here.

Not him.
Snap out of it!

Don't listen to her.
She's crazy.

We can help you, Sally.

But you have to wake up.

You can do this.

This is where you belong, Sally.

With me.

Only I understand you,

who've you become.

No! Look harder.

(Aidan choking)

Aidan, hold up!

Breathe, breathe, breathe...

(Whispering) Oh my god!

Your friends need you, Sally.

We need you to come back
or we're all gonna die.

None of that matters anymore.

That other place,
it's a miserable world,

and you were miserable in it.

I just want you to be happy.

You're happy (ere, aren't you?

Forget that place you came
from and stay here with me.

But my friends...

Aren't here, are they?

I'm here.

It's a full moon.

Sally, we're trapped in the house.

Aidan is starving.

We're all gonna die
if you don't come back.

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does!

I'm not supposed
to be living this life.

I've already lived.

And then I died.

Sally, no.

Don't leave me.

You can't be without me.

I'll never let you go.

(Whispering):
I need to wake up.

There's only one way I know how.

Oh God...

Sally.

(Panting)

Josh.

Josh, it's getting dark.

The moon. What are
you still doing here?

I wanted to make sure that you were..

you.

Are you?

I'm here.

But you need to go.

Please.

If I could hug you...

I would.

I'm really, really sorry
about this, but I--I--

- Go.

- Are you OK?
- Yeah.

(Gasps)

(Breathing unevenly)

(Whispering):
You look like hell!

(Coughs, sniffles)

You look better.

I'm sorry for what we had to do.

What was it like in there?

Um...

(Sighing)

It seemed good at first.

But I figure if I have
to shack up with a monster,

I'd rather it be you guys.

(Chuckling)

(Coughing)

(Footsteps)

Zoe.

(Groans)

I'm OK.

OK, well,
I--I gotta lay down.

(Sighing)

Thank you for helping me.

I know you didn't want to
and I don't blame you.

You took away the only person
who meant something to me.

I know, but--

- No, you really don't.

So let's just get
this straight right now.

I will never forgive you
for what you did.

Never.

I want you gone.

I thought I made that clear.

It's not that simple.

But this is all in my head.

And I can't leave.

I'm a part of you.

So now, we wait.

For what?

For you to slip.

And when you fall...

the only one left
to catch you will be me.
