Being Human (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 11 - Don't Fear the Scott - full transcript

Previously on Being Human...

Janet, this is all my fault.

You're not crazy.

Reaper.

I'm never gonna be like you!

You did things.
Horrible things.

Don't you get it, Sally?

You are me.

I want you gone.

It's not that simple.

My last girlfriend,
Nora, she's a wolf.



You want to be human
and I don't think I do.

So you'd give up on us?

- Josh?
- Julia.

Julia the fiancée?

I either bring her in closer
or I break her heart.

Aidan, you will be
my daughter's second.

In return, I would be willing
to grant you freedom.

People love that cliché,

"Time heals all wounds."

When Mother arrives,
she'll want to meet our police

and she'll wanna tour the house

where the orphans
were dealt with.

I've also taken
care of the entertainment.

Just a small feast of
Boston's tastiest blood whores.



Mother can sample down the line
like it's a flight of tequila.

We don't want her
to get bored, do we?

No, boring is good.

Boring means business as usual

and that's exactly
what we want her to see.

- This is as far as you go.
- Are you serious?

I gave my skin to get
back into this family.

Doesn't that
afford me the right

to do anything more than follow
you around and open doors?

You're back, Henry,
and I'm glad you're back,

but it's only been a few weeks.

You can't blame Suren

if she still can't bear
the sight of you.

Keep your cool.

It might take 2 or 3 decades,

but you'll move up.

But live long enough,

you realize that
most clichés are true.

Please, allow me.

It's what I live for.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I've been going over
preparations for Mother.

I should have waited
to invite her.

No, no. It's time.
The orphans are gone.

Boston is running again
with precision.

It's flawless.

Suppose Mother comes
and likes what she sees.

What then?

I get more power?

I get seated in a bigger city,

the East Coast maybe.

Aren't you getting the
slightest bit ahead of yourself?

Mother is going to
give you your freedom.

You could use it
to come with me.

I haven't seen
the world in 80 years.

I want to see it with you.

It's amazing what

even the smallest passage
of time can accomplish,

the cuts it can close,

the imperfections
it can smooth over.

Wow! We are so hardcore,

we've shut this place down
3 nights in a row.

You could come over.

I can't.

I have to go home

and check on my water heater.

I'm sorry.

Josh, you need to quit
apologizing for everything.

Your water heater,
my salad earlier, the rain.

That is my fault.

I get it.

You feel bad.

You know, you could come over.

No, I--

I really can't.

Because of Aidan.

That was months ago
and you're with me now again.

After everything
we've been through,

and everything that...

I did,

I think we've overcome
a pretty major hurdle,

and Aidan is
just a tiny hurdle.

It's not so much what
happened with Aidan,

it's how he treated me
after it happened.

I told you that's my fault.

You made him talk to me
like I was a whore?

I did not do that.

I can appreciate how much

he respects his
friendship with you,

but I still kind of hate him.

Good luck with
your water heater.

But in the end,

it comes down to the size
of the wound, doesn't it?

If the wound is deep enough,

there might be no way
to keep it from festering,

even if you have
all the time in the world.

Tonight,
on Paranormal Witness...

You should go on that show.

If only they knew
how much we liked people.

Something was just
not right with the house.

You can't ignore me
forever, Sally.

I just felt very unsettled.

And then,
the nightmares started.

I didn't understand
what I just saw.

Something stepped
in front of me.

I feel like I'm watching
stories with my Meemaw!

Sorry. I was trying
to drown out the Reaper.

These are things
I can't explain...

Wait. Whoa,
whoa, whoa! He's here?

No, not right now.
He comes and goes.

Could we not talk
about him, please?

Or me, for that matter?

History shows that
us ignoring your problems

doesn't really work
out well for anyone,

so, if you don't mind,

we will maintain the current
level of care and concern.

We just wanna
help you get better.

I don't think there is any
getting better from this.

I shredded ghosts.

I robbed them of any
chance they had at moving on.

And it's not just ghosts.

I wrecked the lives of
people who were actually alive.

What?

I saw that look.

What-- what do you know?

Uh, Janet,
Dr. Forest's girlfriend...

Mm-hmm?

...she was, uh, brought

into the hospital a week ago

to the, uh, psychiatric ward.

Oh my god! Why wouldn't
you tell me this?

You'd been through enough.

We didn't wanna
make you feel guilty.

Well, I am guilty, aren't I?

She's in the psyche ward
because I possessed her.

Hey.

So, I want to invite Julia over
for dinner tomorrow night

and I would like it
if you could be there too.

Well, that sounds like
it could be weird.

Exactly, yes.

I need to get the two
of you in a room together

and confront any mutual
weirdness that there might be,

just slap it in the face.

Please, man. Listen.

I need to take this thing
to the next stage with her.

What next stage?
You already slept with her.

That wasn't me.
Stu stole my penis.

Yeah.

And besides, this isn't
about sleeping together,

it's about estab--

Re-establishing an
honest-to-God relationship.

With a woman that
you were gonna marry.

Aren't you rushing
this a little bit?

Look, Josh, I know that
it hurt when Nora left.

This has nothing to do
with Nora. This is about me.

This is my do-over, man.

Julia is decent

and beautiful and normal.

- Fine, I'll do it.
- Fantastic!

I'll bring Suren.

- We'll double.
- Awful.

You're not the only one who's
digging up bones here, you know.

80 years ago, Suren and I,
we had something strong.

In present day,
it's complicated

and I need to know

if we can have something
beyond circumstance,

see if she can do with the
mundane parts of my life.

OK, I'm gonna blow
past the fact

that you just
called me mundane,

and agree to this deal.

Make sure you tell
Suren about Julia.

Why?

Well, there are certain

golden rules to a relationship,

one being never put your
current girlfriend in a room

with an old girlfriend
without warning her.

Well, Julia's--

No! No, this is
a very good idea,

especially when
the new girlfriend

could potentially eat
the old girlfriend.

They just come to me,
like memories.

That's the house I lived in.

I mean, I've never
lived there, but I have.

And what about this woman?

How do you know her?

Mom.

I don't know.

But I love her.

In what way?

I-- I think that's enough
for today. All right?

You could help her, you know?

You could go back into Janet.

No, I can't do that.

Well, at least you're
talking to me again.

It makes sense and you know it.

You slip inside her,
answer the shrink's questions,

just tell her what
she wants to hear.

Janet would be out of this
nut hut in a matter of days.

Absolutely not!

I am not playing telephone
for you and Janet.

Josh, please!

I just need to let Janet
know that she's not insane!

By telling her
she was possessed?

She deserves to know the truth.

The truth to the normal
people of this world

is that Janet is a woman
who had a break with reality.

If she gets further entrenched
in the belief that you're real,

she won't make any progress,

and neither will you.

This isn't about me.

But it is.
It's all about you.

You wanna fix Janet
so you don't feel so bad,

but what you did
is just as bad for you.

You were addicted
to being her, Sally.

What will we be eating?

Does it matter?

I'm just a bit overwhelmed.

Mother will be here tomorrow and
instead of making preparations,

I'm sitting down at a table
with a ghost and a dog.

OK, listen.

You need to remember this,

Josh is not a dog.
He's not a wolf.

He's my closest friend.

Things are gonna change
after Mother's visit.

Things between us are
gonna be more about us.

And so, if we're
gonna be together,

you have to learn
to accept my friends.

Of course, and your
roommate's girlfriend, Julia.

She's human.

Yes, she's very human.

Do you think it's fair
for her to sit down at a table,

share a meal with us,
completely blinded to the truth?

Listen, about Julia--

Are you guys gonna
stand out here all night,

let my chicken get cold?

Josh, this is Suren.
Suren, Josh.

Hi.

I'm Sally.

Oh! Hello.

Suren, please come
inside of my house.

Uh, it's gonna be great.

This is painful!

Somebody talk before
I start watching loud TV!

Julia!

Um, I wanted to ask you
how-- how-- how, um,

how are you adjusting
to the hospital?

Oh, God!

Well, it's been 3 months
since we last spoke,

so the adjustment's
pretty much over.

It's a funny thing
about roast chicken.

Everyone always assumes
it's about the spices,

but really,
it's the slow cooking,

that you-- to really seal
in those juices.

And that's probably
why it's so delicious.

Mmm!

It is.

Thank you.

And you keep such
a clean home, Josh.

I'm impressed.
You're a credit to your kind.

What's his kind? Jewish?

Dude-ish! Right?
'Cause he's a dude and he's--

He's a clean dude
and dudes are messy.

It's just a fact.

This conversation
is not better.

So, how do you two
know each other?

Aidan used to work
for my family,

mainly keeping an eye on me.

I was always
getting in trouble,

because it was the only way
to get his attention.

Yeah, right.

You have no idea how long

I've loved you, do you?

How long? How long
have you loved him?

My mother and I have
always been hot and cold.

Uh, after one
particular blow up,

Mother wanted to make peace.

She gave me a black orchid.

Oh!

Very delicate
flower, the orchid.

Well, I was determined
to let it die

out of some form
of foolish protest.

So I refused to water it,
denied it light,

and yet, day after day,
it thrived.

And then I saw
someone tending to it.

You saw that?

I wasn't sure if you were
trying to keep the peace

for the sake of
keeping the peace,

or you were trying
to protect me,

but watching you care
for that flower...

- Julia and I were
co-captains of the speech team.

We were.

Forgive me.
I'm sharing too much.

Uh, TV?
Do you watch any TV?

- She doesn't--
- Antiques Roadshow.

Really?
Antiques Roadshow!

You watch Antiques Roadshow?

That is literally my
favourite program, hands down.

- He loves it.
- What's his name?

Rudy Franchi? Man is a god.

Husky, but knowledgeable.

Bring her over more.

Husky!

Am I really high,

or did we just
pull this thing off?

I stopped wanting to claw
my eyes out by dessert.

Yeah, I think we're good.

- May I ask you a question?
- Sure?

Does Josh know you and
Aidan have been together?

- He does.
- Oh, sweet Lord.

Oh my god!

I've been sitting here
wondering the whole time

whether Aidan had
told you or not.

He hadn't.

Oh.

I've smelled you before...

on him.

Ah, you wear

a very distinct perfume.

It's quite lovely.

You didn't tell her?
What about the rule?

I feel like
she's gonna eat her.

- Do something.
- Shhh!

I had no idea about you.

Oh, we, uh, weren't
together at the time.

I had only just
returned to Boston.

OK, whoa.

I would hate to be
that woman, an "overlapper".

I mean, this conversation
would be a lot different

if we had overlapped.

Yes, it would.

Who wants more coffee?

I would love some.

OK, here you go.

Uh-oh! "Spilly"!
Just a little bit.

It's an old tablecloth.
That's fine.

I got hungry,

and I knew how much
you wanted to taste her.

Share her with me.

What are you doing?

We keep talking about
how much everything's changed

in 80 years,

Boston, you.

But I don't know if I've
changed enough for all of this.

Your life, where do
I fit in it?

Come here.

You were amazing tonight
and you fit perfectly.

So, are we gonna
talk about last night?

The chicken was delicious!

Uh-huh.

You really sealed
the crap out of those juices.

I do my best.

It was fine.

So if I was going to
ask you to come over again...

I would think about it.

♪ Meet me in the atmosphere ♪

I'll take that.

♪ Don't worry
I'll take you there ♪

♪ I'm lost and
what is home? ♪

♪ It's not a place I need ♪

♪ Or a place I know ♪

Oh my god.

♪ Ooh ♪

Hi, Julia.

Hey.

Uh, I gotta go.

I'm late for rounds.

That was brutal.

What are you doing here?

I'm-- I'm trying
to fix things.

You're too late.

You could've come back

when I was angry, you could've
come back when I was confused.

It would've been great
if you'd popped back up

when I was still worried to
death about you, but now--

Now there's Julia.

That was fast.

A lot of things have been
happening very suddenly lately.

Where is Brynn?

I don't wanna know
the answer to that.

I'm sorry, Josh.

I was confused when I left,

after everything
that I'd seen and done.

It was a mistake,

one of many that
I wanna make up for...

starting with you.

Well, like I said,
you're too late.

She wants you back.

I told her I'm with you.

I don't know if
you should've done that.

What? Why?

We can't keep
pretending to move slowly

like we just met.

We were engaged, OK?

You don't wade
back in after that.

You dive.

If you're gonna leave me,
I want you to do it now...

No.

...before I get in
this any deeper.

I don't wanna get
crushed again.

I'm not gonna do that.

I'm not saying this

to get promises from you.

I want you to think
about this conversation...

and whatever Nora said too.

Chantal Preston,

extension 1145.

Nora?

What are you doing here?

Trying unsuccessfully
to get my job back.

Hmm...
Have you seen Josh?

Yeah, and Julia.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

So how are you doing?

You really wanna know?

I've wrecked so
many lives, Nora,

starting with Janet.

But I think that she could be
the thing that I set straight,

if I could just make
contact with her.

How do you know you can
get through to her?

I don't.

But I can't just not try.

Let me help you.

Seriously?

I still have a few
friends in here,

friends who owe me favors.

When I brought my daughter
out of the ground,

and handed her the task
of cleaning up Boston,

many of you
expected her to fail,

as did I.

But in less than a year,

she has shaped chaos into order.

Suren, the reward for hard work

is usually more hard work,

and that is to be
the case with you.

You will continue to govern
this city for the council.

So I will be staying here.

For how long?

Until I deem otherwise.

So there is to
be no advancement.

There may be in time.

Mother, why are you doing this?

Are you unhappy with me?

I am quite satisfied.

But a few months of
"quite satisfied" don't make up

for 8 centuries of
"utterly disappointed".

And Aidan,

you were to help
Suren with Boston

and I would grant you
freedom from our world.

I believe you've
kept up your end.

So now, I'm going to
grant you freedom...

in the truest
sense of the word.

You can enjoy your mortals and
all their society holds for you,

because this world
is now sealed off to you...

all places and all people.

Mother, you can't mean this.

No one in our world is to have
anything to do with Aidan White.

Any vampire found
in contact with this man

will be put to death.

How can you do this to me,

after everything that
I've done for this family,

after everything that
I've sacrificed for her?

Come now,
every move you've made,

you've made for
your own benefit.

And now, you can leave.

Yeah, and you can go to hell.

You dare to speak
this way to me?

This is what
freedom sounds like.

I should turn you
to dust right here.

But we know how fragile
this one can be.

So enjoy the mercy
I'm showing you now.

Then right when
I think my mind is made up,

Julia tells me to unmake it.

Didn't you tell me
yourself earlier

that Julia's the reason
we got into this thing?

Yeah, yeah.

But what Nora and I
have is bigger.

It's biological.

Well, maybe it's guilt.

You might've made her
into what you are,

but she's let herself
become what she is now.

You all right?

What's up? You just
seem extra broody today.

I'm free.

What?

You're f-f-free from...

Everything, all of it.

Then isn't this great news?

I mean, shouldn't you be,
like, in a field somewhere,

wearing white linen,
rolling around in daisies?

It's not freedom, Josh.
It's banishment.

I am banished from all
vampires under penalty of death.

So no blood dens.

No food. What am
I gonna eat?

No clean-up crew. What the hell
am I gonna do when I slip up?

Don't.
Don't slip up.

That's not all.
I--I can't see Suren.

Listen, I've seen
you bottom out.

That guy you drank from

right before you went
into violent convulsions,

that was me.

So if you really
wanna go clean,

don't you think it's best
if you eliminate the people

that you got dirty with?

Suren isn't just
some drug buddy, Josh.

Freedom without her
means nothing.

Uh...

I love her.

So what are you gonna do?

Those are beautiful.

I know you, don't I?

Yeah, I used to work here.

I know Tim Forest.

Oh.

But there's someone
else we have in common.

Who?

Her name's Sally.

The memories
in these drawings...

they're hers.

I've been here before.

This house...

I see it in my dreams.

Sally?

You're not sick, Janet.

Sally is a ghost.

And the reason that
you have her memories

is because she possessed you.

Hey.

You got a lot of nerve
setting up this meeting.

I could be killed.

I wouldn't ask if
it wasn't important.

Anyone follow you?
Does it matter?

My life is forfeit
with you cast out.

Uh-uh. No, you've
paid your debt to Mother,

you're safe for now.

But, Henry, let me ask you...

do you think I'm a fool?

What?

I wanna trust you.

Hell, I need to trust you.

Every chance that
I've given you,

you've turned into a grenade
and you've lobbed it back at me.

That's not me anymore.

Aidan, I swear
you can trust me.

OK.

All right.

I need a favour.

That was the first car I owned.

That was Sally's car.

You know all this
because Sally's telling you?

This is futile, you know.

You can help every
living soul on Earth,

but you'll never get rid of me.

Just please tell her I'm sorry.

Sally is a good person.

So she ruined me?

She was weak.

She never thought
of the consequences.

She would do anything
to take it back.

Wait. You're a
patient here too.

What?

A schizophrenic
or a compulsive liar.

You heard me babbling
to the doctors

and made up your
own version in your head.

No. Sally, I need
a little help here.

What do you want me to do?

Please stop talking like that!

I don't know,
something "ghosty".

Do I look like
Patrick Swayze to you?

What can I do
to make you believe me?

"The trees blow in the breeze.

"The bees buzz
by my knees."

No way.

What is that?

It's a poem.

I want you to finish it.

OK. Sally?

I wrote that when
I was 9. I don't--

I don't know if I can remember.

The trees blow in the breeze,
the bees buzz by my knees.

Sally, you tried.
She doesn't want help.

Let's just go home.

Please.

Please, please.

"I look at the clouds..."

"I look at the clouds."

"I wait for the sun..."

"I wait for the sun..."

"And yell,
'Please, please, please!'"

"And yell,
'Please, please, please!'"

Is that it?

It's OK, Janet.

We're gonna get
you out of here.

OK.

This means nothing.

This means everything.

I know that the good in me
is stronger than you.

I'm stronger than you.

Sally?

Go.

Who were you talking to?

Nothing.

I'm talking to nothing.

You think Janet's gonna be OK?

I think so.

You know what else I think?
I think you are a horrible poet.

You couldn't listen to me?

You need weight off
your conscience,

so when I won't help,

you have to find somebody
who's equally as damaged.

Leave her alone, Josh.

You are amazing.

I can't believe
that I was trying

to convince myself
that you'd really changed.

I'm trying to.

Yeah. Well, thanks for
the moment of clarity.

Stay away from me.

Hello. Oh!

I was worried Henry was setting
a trap, but I had to risk it.

It's OK. He can
be trusted now.

It's OK.

I thought I'd never
get to say goodbye.

Now you don't have to.

Come away with me.

You said you wanted to
see the world. Now we can.

It's-- it's
not that easy.

This isn't the future
I'm supposed to have.

If you think that Mother
is ever gonna let you lead,

you're lying to yourself.

Suren, no one knows the future
that they're supposed to have.

Maybe Mother's cruelty
is a blessing in disguise.

I wanted my freedom. You wanted
to move on from Boston.

She's made me realize
that we can have it all.

We can create
a new life together.

How far and how fast?

Thank you so much.

I'm so proud of you, Janet.

I'm just glad it's over.

Hopefully it's the
last time we'll see you here.

You're in good hands.
All right.

Sally?

You here?

Hey.

Janet's home.

She was released.

That's good.

That's it?

You save a woman from insanity
and you say that's good?

I know. I yelled.

I was just worried you
were doing the wrong thing

and I've been just
so worried about you lately.

Then Nora's back
and the choices she's making...

Aidan's leaving.

What?
He's not leaving.

He's leaving?
Where is he going?

I don't know yet.

Couldn't tell you anyway.

I thought when
you said "banished",

you didn't mean
entirely from Boston.

This is my choice.

I'm gonna enjoy my freedom,

and Suren's gonna
enjoy it with me.

♪ No lights on

You can't go!

What about all this?

Fitting in with people?

Where does being a vampire
fugitive fit in with that?

Josh.

I am a vampire.

And the reason we got into this

was to be happy.

And I think that...

that I can be happy with Suren.

Aidan, we need you.

We're strongest
together, aren't we?

Yeah, I'm not
so sure about that.

Listen, you two,

you're gonna be
strong without me.

I know you can.

Hey.

I know you're mad.

But I have to talk to you.

OK, but I owe you
an apology first.

You two were right...

helping Janet.

Don't apologize.

I'm a mess.

I went off to explore

my new instincts and impulses.

What happened out there?

Brynn.

I always thought that she was
the one that kept Connor at bay.

Now I know it was the opposite.

That girl has got
an appetite for violence,

the purest, swiftest...

angriest violence
I've ever seen.

And what about your appetite?

I got full.

That's why I wanted
to help Sally.

I didn't think you'd come back.

The way we
left things--

I know.

I know.

And now you're
happy with Julia.

And you deserve to be, Josh.

I just want what's
best for you.

I hope you can believe
that when I tell you this:

There's other things
I learned out there with Brynn.

I learned how you can get back
everything you ever wanted

and never have to worry about
hurting anyone ever again.

You're not making any sense.

I know how to lift
this curse, Josh...

forever.

It's about finding

the man who turned you.

I'm the one who turned you.

I'm the one who
gave you this gift.

If you find him
and you kill him...

you're free.

No!

It can't be that easy!

I-- I-- Who told you this?

It's true, Josh.

So, in order to
cure myself permanently,

I have to kill Ray? No!

You need to take words
like "cure" and "condition"

and throw them out the window!

This situation is
not medical, Josh.

It's supernatural!

It's a good,
old-fashioned curse!

Brynn told you this.

- Yes!
- Yeah?

Purebreads know.

She told me the specifics.

If you want to lift this curse,

you have to kill Ray
while he's still a man.

- I have to kill Ray!
- Before the change.

Which means you have
to do it before you change.

You can save yourself, Josh.

You can kill the son of
a bitch who did this to you

and get your life back.

I can't!

Killing him won't
make me normal.

It'll make me a murderer.

I'll still be every bit
the monster I still am now.

Why are you smiling?

Because I knew that
would be your answer.

Wait!

OK, let's just say
this is all true.

Why haven't you killed me
to cure yourself?

I can see how much
pain you're in.

I'm not in pain
because of what I am.

I'm in pain because
of what I've done.

And I could never
kill you, Josh.

I love you too much.

This is not what I expected.

It's temporary.

We have to bury ourselves,

and that means staying
in places like this, using cash.

Suren, are you all right?

I'm hungry.

Yeah, me too.

There's a small hospital
one town over.

We can go there in
the morning to get food.

I don't think that will do.

I know you don't
want bagged blood,

but we can't leave
a trail of bodies behind--

You don't understand!
I'm hungry now.

Feed with me!

I think I overestimated
my resolve.

OK, I'll get you some food.

Just, um, wait here.

I'll be right back.

Hurry.

I told my mom and she was like,

"I'm sure it was
just the wind."

But I wasn't imagining it.

There was definitely
something up there.

What was that?

And we heard these footsteps.

It was very loud, very heavy.

My daughter hears it,
I hear it.

We're startled, we're scared...

What was that?
