Being Human (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 13 - It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want to - full transcript

Previously, on Being Human.

No one in our world is gonna
have anything to do with ***.

I am banished from all vampires
under penalty of death.

I have to go back,

as long as we keep running
your life is in danger.

Ghosts have started appearing.

I'm trapped, forever.

Because some ghost just
took the wrong door,

Limbo, that's what we're calling it.

Josh, I know how to leave this curse

it's about finding the man who turned you.



If you find him, and kill him,

you're free.

I will protect you.

It's too late.

I loved you enough Josh.

You just never believed it.

(Sally):
I was a good child.

I did my homework,
ate my vegetables...

Josh!

...kissed my mother goodnight.

(Sighing)

♪ I heard every word.

Let's not go in there.

♪ You whispered miles away.



l'm here now.

Can't just leave.
How would that look?

It will look smart, Josh.

♪ Some were obscured...

The easiest person for them
to hate right now is you.

♪ But others struck
my good ear plain as day ♪

(Crying)

(Sally):
I was patient. I was kind.

But I'm starting to think

that good things don't actually
come to those who wait.

♪ The cardiograph...

We behaved as well as we could
for as long as we could.

And now it's time
to try something else.

Can I help you?

♪ Beat down the door.

I'm sorry.

♪ 'Cause I don't owe you
anything any more ♪.

You would've been content
to never see me again.

Hey, if this is gonna
be the last time we talk,

can we at least have
some satisfying answers?

Come one, please, just give me
something to make sense of this.

Sense?

Logic?

None of that matters.
You know that.

Never forget how old
Mother and I are.

Matters like this
are primal with her!

Yeah, like love is primal?

Like survival is primal.

I'm sorry.

I was weak.

See, she's made you
believe that you are,

but I know that
we could've been strong.

If you had just held on
just a little while longer,

you would've known...

that I did it.

I... I secured asylum
with the Dutch.

I didn't doubt you would.

Well, then why?
Why would you give up?

(Siren wailing in distance)

Just... just tell
me the truth.

Because you would've paid for
my indiscretions with your life.

(Sighing)

I told you.
I tried to warn you.

Mother wouldn't let me run.

She wouldn't rest until
I came back to her,

until you were dead.

You're safe now, Aidan.

That's why I came back.

You're free.

After all this...

after decades,

do you really
think that freedom,

freedom won like this,

do you think it really means
anything to me without you?

♪ The cardiograph.

Huh?

No, I don't accept
your conditions.

♪ Beeped a rhythm
I could shuffle to ♪.

Aidan.

I told you I was weak.

♪ Beat down the door.

You're my weakness.

♪ But I don't owe you
anything any more ♪.

You can't ask me
to watch you die.

♪ I'm shutting
your office door ♪

♪ You won the battle
but lost the war ♪

♪ No one's lording

♪ Over me now

♪ Ooh, ooh...

(Sally):We came screaming
into this world.

♪ Ain't got no power over me.

How can we possibly
leave it without a fight?

♪ Ooh, ooh

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ♪.

You know what I was thinking
on the drive down here?

Hmm?

For most people,
going home is a safety net,

a place to hide until
the worst passes.

And there's no hiding
here for me any more.

I'm the monster
they wanna keep out.

Look.

People are in shock.

They're grieving.

Which is not to say
that you're not...

No, you are right.

I shouldn't have come.

It was selfish.

I thought I could
redeem myself to them.

I was so close to
redeeming myself to her.

But you did.

(Scoffs)

I saw you two together.

What you saw was me holding on

to something that
was never gonna happen.

I can't imagine how
horrible it must've been

for you being there.

But you didn't do this.

You don't understand.

This would never have happened
if I wasn't how I am.

Josh.

You had no control
over the situation.

Don't let something
random clog the truth.

(Cell phone vibrating)

What is it?

I don't know.

(Siren wailing)

Josh.

I would've come sooner.
I just got the messages.

What? Oh God.

You're still
my emergency contact.

Yeah.

(Sighing)

I'm sorry.
I never changed it.

No, don't be sorry.

Was it the, uh...

eclipse?

Yeah.

I was here, working.

Kaufman let me back.

It's a concussion?
They're worried about swelling?

That's why I'm in observation.

(Sighing)

I tried to make it down
to the isolation room,

but on that last
flight of stairs...

Yeah.

Josh, I'm sorry.

I heard what happened.

I was...

I was gonna tell her the truth.

And then she saw me.

You can't blame yourself.

Who do you want
me to blame? Ray?

(Sighing)

I've thought about it.

If there were ever a time...

grab the gun,
go to his house...

and then what?

Kill him, free myself

and leave you where?

Cursed.

And I promised you I would
find a way to fix this.

I can't do this to you.

You haven't.

I've made my decision.

But you don't know
everything you need to know.

What do you mean?

The curse, it's in
the bloodline.

If you kill your maker,

you don't just cure yourself.

You cure whoever you made.

I wanted you to choose for you,

not for me.

And when you decided
not to kill Ray,

I was relieved, Josh.

(Sighing)

I was.

I wouldn't want you to become a
man who could kill another man.

I know what that
would do to you.

Please, Josh.
You can't.

Promise me.

I promise.

(Birds chirping)

Danny called it "limbo".

No, what? Danny?

Yeah.
That happened.

About limbo,
he told me a way in.

I take another ghost's door.

(Sighing)

Just so you're clear,
that ghost goes crazy.

I mean, that's
what happens, right?

Did Danny happen to
mention how to get out?

So I give up?

The way Suren gave up?

I just... I need
to make it right.

She thinks that
she's done me a favour.

Maybe it's better you two were
only together for a few months.

It was a little
longer than that.

I'm here.

I didn't forget.

(Bird trilling)

(Sighing)

Suren.

(Mother):
Useless and sentimental.

(Sighing)

Forgive me. I thought
that you were away.

So you intrude on my estate?

Only once a year,

on the day of her burial.

My daughter can't
see you or hear you.

You think she can sense you,

standing above her grave,

that she takes
comfort from that?

Respectfully,
but it's been 5 years.

The longer she
stays underground...

No one's mind can handle that.

If you dig her up now,
she'd be grateful.

You think I'm doing
this to hurt her?

(Door closing)

(Birds chirping)

I'm sorry about Julia.

I'm guessing it's not a good
thing that you're back here.

I'm gonna kill Ray.

With a gun, with Hegeman's gun.

For Nora.

I can cure her if I kill him.

Josh.

And don't even try to stop me.

I've made up my mind.

If you could get Ray
into that shed...

where the twins were,
can you do that?

I think so, yeah.

Can you do it tonight?

Good.

I'll meet you there,

just as soon as I kill Mother.

Too many people have suffered.

She's gotta go.

So you're helping me.

You want me to help you or...

Mmmmm. I got it.

You two are totally about to go

on 2 separate
killing sprees for women.

(Whispering):
That is so hot.

I'm gonna kill a man.

Kill Mother?
Are you insane?

Have you even
thought this through?

There's nothing to think.
She's ruined enough lives.

That's not what it's about.

It's about her
ruining your life!

And Suren's and forcing her
to live a life that she hates.

She walked right
back into that life

and that's because
of me, Henry.

This is suicide!

Not with your help, it isn't.

My help?

(Scoffing)

Of course.

It's too late.

Now that Boston's under control,
Mother's leaving the state,

maybe for years.

OK, then we'll
think about today.

I don't see how.

Mother's called the council
to her lake house tonight

before she leaves.

Part going-away party,

part recognizing Suren as
the new leader of Boston.

(Chuckling) That's great!

Yeah, that's just like Mother,

congratulate Suren
in the same place

that you've imprisoned
her for 80 years!

(Exhales sharply)

Are you gonna be there?

I've been put on guard detail.

Good.

Good, then we'll do it there.

Kill Mother at her own house,

surrounded by
the entire council?

Pretty much.

You'd be dead before you got
within spitting distance of her.

Not if she never
sees us coming.

Oh...

the faithful one.

You're early this year.

Or is it late?

25 years underground

and still you cling
to your humanity.

I can feel it!

It's disgusting!

Uh, Mother, you just fed.

Let me walk you
back to the house.

My daughter fell to pieces
over a love affair!

She slaughtered a human
in front of humans.

Yes, she did.

And you've made her
pay dearly for it.

The punishment is only enough

when she realizes
it isn't punishment at all.

But Suren's mastering
her emotions.

She's getting stronger.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

(Sobs)

(Birds chirping)

No.

Not the house.

♪ Did you ever really

♪ Love me?

♪ Did you ever really care...

Root cellar.

(Chuckling)

This is where you sleep?

I prefer it here.

The dark, the quiet,

the sweetness of blood.

This is how I spend
Suren's anniversary.

Drinking.

Doesn't have to be
an anniversary.

If you wanted to,
you could be with her today.

Did you have a child, Aidan,

as a human?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Then you know
what that love is.

Irrational.

Animal.

So strong, it weakens you.

When I gave birth to Suren,

for a moment, I couldn't
breathe for looking at her.

Human mother, human child.

And then...

I gave her eternity.

Something that my son taught me

is that when I punished him...

(Chuckles)

...he only rebelled more.

But I learned that he would
do anything for me...

out of love.

You know what savaging is?

Amongst animals?

A tiger licks the afterbirth

from her newborn litter,

rousing them to life.

And if one cub doesn't rouse...

she may kill it and eat it...

the weak one who won't survive.

If you're so concerned
that Suren is weak,

why are you trying
so hard to break her?

Problem is...

I only have one.

Aidan...

Don't come back
here ever again.

♪ Did you ever
really love me? ♪

♪ Or did you

♪ Tell a lie?

The only time that Mother
is weak enough to attack

is when she's sleeping
in that cellar.

What about the guards?

Well, you're gonna
have to take them out

before I get there.

And then you're gonna have
to leave me a signal.

Here's what you're gonna do.

You tie this rag
to a tree branch

near mother's cellar door.

And then, Henry, you just
get the hell out of there.

Hey, everyone wins.

We take care of Mother,

we all get what we want.

You get what you want.

I'm beginning to wonder if
you even know what I want.

I gave you my blood.

Now you have to
give this to me.

Sticking with this plan,
it's the only help that I need.

Now, can you do that for me?

What if you lose?

Well, then I want you to know

that I am very proud

of the man that you've become.

Does it have to be the gun?

No, he just has
to die at my hands.

Because I was thinking,

what's he got going on
in that landscaping truck?

What, you think
I should mow Ray down?

I'm just saying
if you're bad with the gun...

I'm not bad with the gun, OK?

Do you have any idea
how many gang members

are kids who've never
even touched a gun

and they kill
people all the time?

No, that's fantastic logic.

Are you gonna wear that shirt?

Why?

Because it's
my favourite shirt.

And if you shoot him,
you're gonna have to burn it

because of the gunpowder!

Evidence or something.

Right.

Which is why I'm saying
you should just hack him up

with some of those
professional garden shears.

Yeah, no, that's a great idea,

wildly attacking him with some
rusty shears is way less messy

than shooting him.

What the hell am I doing?

I don't know what
the hell I'm doing!

I mean, how... how am I
supposed to get Ray to meet me

in the middle of
the friggin' woods?

I know how.

We have to hurry.

It's just a flat, Ray.
I could call a tow.

No, no. I don't like you
sitting out there like that.

Let me come out.

I'm on the bend,
Bassett Creek Road.

OK, got it.

(Whispering):
OK. I'm fine.

It's fine.
We're fine.

(Grunts)

(Crow cawing)

He'll be here soon.

I better go.

This has to work,
for everyone's sake.

But if it does...

You'll be human.

You won't be able
to see me any more.

♪ And it might be
in harm's way ♪

♪ As long as I'm with you

♪ At the end of a long...

I can't help thinking that
for our one and only hug,

it would be better

I know.

And I mean this
in the best way possible

Henry?

Aidan.

I'm sorry.

(Groaning)

(Crows cawing)

(♪ Beethoven's FĂĽr Elise ♪)

(Guests chattering)

Suren, darling.

What is it?

Why dig me up, Mother?

It was time.

I missed you...

what you could be.

So many years I laid there,

wondering what
it was you saw in me...

or didn't.

If you could only
see what I see.

You will, sooner than you know.

(Woman on PA):
Anne Winters to E.R.

Anne Winters to E.R.

At least the joint
I haunt has basic cable.

What are you doing here?

Mom, do you love me?

What kind of question is that?

'Cause I need you
to do something for me.

I need you to shred me.

I'll show you how to do it.

It's basically...

It's ending me.

Sally...

It's not forever, I hope.

I need to go to limbo.

And I think that there's
a way out, and I...

You think?

Sally, no. No!

You're being silly.

Silly.

I ruin lives.

Dozens of them.

You stood in front
of me and you wondered

what you could do to help me?

This is what you can do.

By ripping you up?

Honey...

you need to find peace with...

This is the only way, Mom!

This or I steal some
innocent ghost's door,

which is exactly the
kind of messed up behaviour

that I'm trying to avoid.

You're my family.

You're supposed to
want to do this for me.

I am your mother.

My job was to keep you alive.

I'm sorry for whatever it is
you think you've done,

but you need to
accept it and move on.

You never wanted to help me.

You just wanted to
make yourself feel better.

Sally?

(Whooshing)

Nora. Oh my God!
Are you OK?

Yeah, yeah.
I will be.

Are you OK?

Anthony Mercer, extension 5432.

Anthony Mercer...

No. Everybody I try
to help, Janet, Josh,

or what I do...

it doesn't matter.

What do you mean Josh?

Mark Sanford to radiology.

Mark Sanford...

How did you help Josh?

What did you do?

(Birds chirping)

Val?

Babe?

(Click)

Turn around and start walking.

- Where's my wife, Josh?
- She's fine!

Move now.

Go.

I would like to thank you all
for being here tonight.

It is a celebration of
my leave of New England,

but most of all of my daughter.

I could not be more proud of her
efforts to bring Boston to bear,

which is why I have chosen
tonight to announce Suren

as my successor.

(Murmurings)

Nothing is permanent
in this world,

not even us.

It's high time a succession
plan stood in place.

Mother, I don't know
what to say.

Bring him.

(Suren): Aidan!

(Groaning)

What is this?

Your finest moment, dear.

Kill him, Suren...

(Groans)

...and your birthright
will be earned.

Over there.

Aidan? Come on,
come on.

Were you expecting somebody?

(Breathing heavily)

(Whispering): OK...

- If I can just talk to you...
- Shut up!

Get down on the ground.

- Josh.
- GET DOWN NOW!

Down!

(Breathing unevenly)

You told me to
leave you be, Josh.

I did that!

You found me.

Shut up! Shut up!

Look, I never told you.

Meeting you, your friends,
it made me a different man.

You saw them.

My wife, my kid.

You made me want a better life.

- It's all lies, Ray.
- No, Josh!

Damn you for pretending
like it could be any different!

The eclipse.

It knocked you for a loop too.

The eclipse, you, my fiancée.

Nothing changes, Ray.

No matter what we try to do,
no matter how we try to spin it,

one way or another,
the wolf destroys it all.

And I've been there, Josh.

We can help each other.

There's only one way
you can help me.

All I have to do is kill you

and everyone I've cursed and
they've cursed, they're free.

- What are you talking about?
- The bloodline, Ray.

The what?

You think killing me is
gonna free you of something,

make you some sort of hero?

You pull that trigger and
you are the monster, Josh,

not the wolf, not me!

All this time, I've been
beating myself up...

living half a life.

(Roaring)

I tried to find a cure.

(Groaning)

I tried to find a way
to make this right.

And all this time...

(Gunshot)

...it was you.

(Click)

(Nora): Josh!

Josh!

(Car honking)

Mom?

You're right.
I should've been here.

It's fine.

It's in the past.

I know you're in pain.

I just wanna make it right,

and I don't know how.

(Birds chirping)

Hey, I'm proud of you.

Seriously?

You are so much stronger
and more selfless now

than you were
when you were alive.

See? Everyone agrees, Sally.
You're better with me.

I did terrible
things to get here.

So we make mistakes,

and how we got here was tragic,

but it still isn't wrong to say

that I'm looking forward to
the time we have together now.

Your door.

(Whispering):
Oh my God!

Mother, this isn't necessary.

I've made my choice.

You have my complete
devotion. You know that.

Why waste our time
with this heretic?

Because you will never
lay claim to your birthright

as long as you allow
yourself to be held captive

by distractions such as him!

Suren.

It's OK.

I can't.

(Gulps)

Do it.

(Sighing)

Kill him, Suren.

(Aidan grunts)

Kill him!

You didn't call
the council here

to watch me succeed, did you?

You wanted them here
to witness my failure.

Then prove me wrong.

Prove that you're worthy.

Prove that I did not put you
into the ground in vain.

Show them all that
a leader, a true leader,

is stronger than her emotions.

Kill him!

(Crying)

I'm sorry.

(Sobs)

I'm sorry, Mother.

I can't.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.
I understand.

It's over.

(Sighing)

Shhh...

I love him, Mother.

(Crying)

I know.

And I love you.

(Gasps)

(Whimpers)

(Whimpers)

(Fangs click)

(Roaring)

- Grab him!
- Ah!

(Panting)

(Grunting)

Oh, no! No!

She was never going to be you.

Why couldn't you just see that?

Why couldn't you
just leave her be?

Now you have to live
with what you did!

(Bird screeching)

(Branch cracking)

(Groans)

Full moon's still a week out!

(Grunting)

But I don't need the wolf
to end you, boy.

(Groaning)

But I can't go now.

You have to.

I am not leaving you like this.

I'll be fine.

You'll be fine.

Didn't you say if you
took someone else's door...

No, Mom. You're not
doing that for me.

Take it.

Sure, Sally.
Take it.

Leave your mother to go mad.

That's so selfish.

You just don't
want me to save them!

They don't deserve it!

- Sally?
- You don't understand.

I don't know if you're
gonna get another one.

You could go crazy like me!

So you'll help me
when you get back.

(Groaning)

Oh!

Please don't worry.

Sally.

We'll find each other.

I'll be OK.

But I can't leave
this up to chance.

- No!
- Aaah!

(Screaming)

(Whimpers)

(Gasping)

(Both grunting)

You thought you could win, huh?

I made you, Josh,

and your weakness

is my biggest disappointment!

(Groaning)

Come on! Huh?

Let's do this your way, huh?

(Gun clicks)

Put it down!

Put it down!

Nora?

The famished ache
you will soon come to feel

is something very few
can understand,

and the eternal madness
that results

is a fate worse than no other.

I can think of a worse fate.

Living in eternity,

knowing that you killed the
only one that ever loved you.

Close it.

(Earth pattering)

(Breathing rapidly)

A bullet in me is the same
as a bullet in him, sweetheart.

Nora, he's... he's right!

Shoot me, save yourself.

Shoot me!

Nora. Do it!

Do it! Shoot me!

Do it!

(Gunshots)

(Siren wailing in distance,
car honking)

(Man):...the winds out of
the east at 14 miles...

(Radio tuning)

(Sally):Aidan? Josh?
Can you hear me?

I made it!
I need your help!

Please.

I think I made a big mistake!
