Being Human (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 2 - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? - full transcript
We left Josh in the woods, wounded, changing, and about to be killed by Heggeman's second silver bullet. Nora, who transformed into her wolf for the first time, interrupts Heggeman before he can shoot, tearing him apart. As Josh loses himself to his wolf, he watches Nora devour Heggeman. The next morning, Josh and Nora start to come to terms with Nora's change. Exhausted and battered, they come home to a house full of teenage ghosts. Scared and alone after her nightmare, which she still thinks may have really released something evil into the world, Sally invited Stevie, her friend from the reunion, and several of his ghosts friends over to the house to keep her company.
Previously on Being Human...
Stevie? I'm a little surprised
you're haunting school.
- 'Cause I killed myself to get out of here?
- Yes.
Ever try sleeping?
Can we even do that?
I actually dream.
What do you want?
We've gathered here to confirm
the best vampire to lead Boston.
That person is my daughter.
Aidan, you will be
my daughter's second.
My little girl.
We must help him, Hegeman.
No distractions, no wolf.
Things took a wild turn,
didn't they?
- Aaah! Get out!
- Oh my god!
And just a scratch was enough.
I love you.
Nora!
Nora?
Oh! Oh!
All I wanted was
to sleep again, dream.
Aidan!
I did die in
my pyjamas after all.
Aidan!
I was ready.
* I had a dream last night *
I miss that rest, the escape...
* I dreamt that
I was swimming *
* And the stars above *
...that luscious 8-hour break.
* Directionless and drifting *
* And somewhere in the dark *
* Were the sirens
and the thunder *
* And around me as I swam *
* The drifters who'd
gone under time, love... *
Turns out though,
monster don't get a break.
* Time, love *
Sleep is no escape...
* Time, love *
It's only a nest
to hatch more nightmares.
* Time, love *
* Time, love *
* It's only a change of time *
* I had a dream last night *
* And rusting far below me *
* Battered hulls
and broken hardships *
* Leviathan and lonely *
* I was thirsty so I drank *
* Though it was salt water *
* There was something
about the way *
* It tasted so familiar... *
You don't get to wake up,
your heart pounding,
and realize,
"God! That was just a dream."
You don't get to feel
that euphoria of being spared.
* It's only a change of time *
* The black clouds
I'm hanging *
* This anchor
I'm dragging... *
Mmm...
Aidan.
* We cut through
the lowlands... *
I never thought you'd be
the one to dig me up.
Why didn't you feed with me?
* Confusing and violent *
Because I don't
drink live anymore.
* I had a dream last night *
* When I opened my eyes*
* Your shoulder blade
Your spine *
* Were shorelines
and moonlight *
* New worlds for the weary *
* New lands for the living *
* I could make it if I tried *
* I closed my eyes
I kept on swimming *
* Time, love *
* Time, love *
Nora.
* Time love *
Nora?
* It's only a change
of time, love *
* Time, love *
NORA!
* Time, love *
* It's only a change
of time, love *
* Time, love... *
Because for us,
nightmares really do come true.
They already have.
* It's only a change of time *
I looked everywhere for you.
I thought you were--
You OK?
I'm a little shaky.
I did this to you that night?
Let's go inside, OK?
Yeah, OK.
Oh, I'll make you some tea.
OK, so, interesting
social development.
Sally.
Just not now, please.
Because I met
some people and--
- I had no idea
you were so beautiful.
You can see me?
Oh my god, Nora!
I've been wanting to talk
to you for so long! You--
How can you see me?
You're not dead, are you?
I'm a wolf.
- Whoa!
- One, two, three...
You moved! I told you not to.
Watch him.
Make sure he doesn't--
- Go, go!
- I don't care.
Not in the nads, OK?
Anywhere but the nads.
You flinch,
I get to do it twice.
Who are you?
You a vampire?
Uh, Josh, Nora, this is Stevie,
my friend from
the reunion. Yeah!
And, uh, OK, this is Dylan,
And, uh, the guys
call him Boner.
I call him Phil, the name
he was actually born with.
Boner.
What's up?
Hey, I like your place.
I'm gonna go wash.
I think that's, uh...
I'm-- I'm so sorry
about this.
Were there this many
ghosts here before
and I just couldn't see them?
No. No.
God, no.
What's with the lost boys?
Last night, had this
evil nightmare.
Wait, stop. What are you
talking about, nightmare?
I slept. Stevie
taught me how to sleep.
I did it. It was
a friggin' mistake,
because I dreamt
my door came back.
I opened it and then
this-- this thing rushed out.
And I think it
actually flew out.
OK. But why are
those ghosts here?
Well, you guys weren't here,
so I went to talk
to Stevie about it,
and he was at this sketchy
diner with his friends,
and I don't know,
I invited them here.
Just invited them over.
Great idea.
You look worse than Josh.
And he just found
he turned Nora.
Why would you do that?
I need a drink.
I'm sorry. I get
nervous around bad news.
I have to eject it
as quickly as possible.
Like food poisoning, you throw
it up, feel better. I'm sorry.
Why are there ghosts punching
each other in the balls?
Oh, God! I can't go through
this again. You do it.
Why not?
Come on, man! Come on!
God, Aidan.
I wanna kill myself.
How could I have
let this happen?
OK, listen to me. You can't
do this to yourself right now.
Do not make this
about you. Out!
You know, and the
sick, crazy thing
is that I owe her my life.
If Nora wasn't a wolf,
I'd be dead.
There was a vampire
in the woods.
He tried to kill me.
One of the
Dutch guys, I--
- Hegeman?
I don't know!
He had the beard.
It was the boss.
Oh! Hegeman.
Nora's wolf killed him.
Josh?
Very important.
Were there any
other vampires there?
Listen to me. I don't want
Nora to know about this, OK?
She can't know that
she killed somebody,
even if he was
a homicidal vampire.
That's why his name is Boner.
It requires heavy maintenance.
He's a ghost.
He can't--
It's like a phantom limb.
He can mind-whack it.
That's disgusting.
You know, I think I'm just
gonna-- I'm gonna head home.
Uh... OK, yeah.
I'm sorry about
the haunted circus here.
I'll walk you home.
No, I--
I'm just gonna walk by myself.
But I'll, um,
call you later, OK?
Yeah.
Josh, join us, please!
Aidan, you can't leave.
Hey, hey, hey!
You can't go. I have
a room full of teenage boys.
Besides beating off and
playing Xbox, what do they do?
That about covers it.
Get rid of them.
Your friends kill people.
This is it for me. This is
who I have to hang out with.
I have to start somewhere.
Come on, you were a teenage
boy once, in medieval times.
Hey, dudes, um,
when did you die?
'01.
'86.
Well, do you want
to watch Scarface in HD?
It's out?
Oh yeah.
- Never seen it.
- What's wrong with you?
That is why you've
never moved on.
Come on!
That'll work, thank you.
How is it you get stuck
minding the errant
princess again?
I'm more like your advisor.
Well, that's unsettling.
You were Bishop's advisor
and he's dead.
It was complicated and
it has nothing to do with us
and I promised your mother
that I would help you
lead Boston, so....
OK, so if you're ready,
the first thing we need to do
is we need to find
someone in the police
to take over what Bishop did,
covering up killings,
handling cleanups.
What's it feel like
with your maker gone?
Uh, it's a little strange.
But not necessarily
in a bad way.
I bet you feel free.
So why take this job,
grooming me?
Such a bizarre term, isn't it?
Well, you know
better than anyone.
Your mother speaks,
and it happens.
Well, the drapes are different,
but everything else
looks the same.
It's like we were just here.
Except the lights were more
flattering back them.
These bulbs are so harsh.
Suren, I really think we need
to handle this police situation.
Are you up to seeing
the candidates today?
Aidan, you don't have to worry.
I'm not the gullible little fool
you had to babysit then.
OK. I've changed too.
Oh, that's right.
You're a vegetarian now.
Why don't we forget
about the past?
It's kind of hard
to do, isn't it,
when Mother's put
us right back here
at the scene of the crime?
It's so like her.
She wants to rub
my nose in it...
my weakness.
But she did give you back to me.
Look, we've all made mistakes.
We just have to show her that
you are ready to lead now.
You really think I can?
If you want to.
If you're willing to
block out distractions.
I've had 80 years to
think about what I want.
I won't be
distracted this time.
Please!
Aaah! Let me go!
Hey.
Hi.
Should you maybe
have taken a sick day?
No, I think this is the best
thing for me right now, working.
Makes me feel almost normal.
Can I get--
Can I-- can I
get a mocha?
Get whatever you want.
No, no, no.
No, can I get a mocha?
'Cause, you know, chocolate
is toxic to dogs.
So I just--
You're not a dog.
No, but I am, like,
a canine, right? Of sorts.
Once a month.
One night a month.
The rest of the time,
we're still us.
I keep doing
my rounds, thinking:
I'm a werewolf
wrapping a burn victim.
I'm a werewolf
inserting a catheter.
I'm a werewolf peeing
in the ladies room.
How much do you remember
about the change?
Being in the car,
and the panic, the pain.
You don't remember anything
about being the wolf?
Should I?
No. No, that's
the one blessing.
We seem not to remember
what the wolf does.
Why didn't you tell
me about the scratch?
I didn't know
if I was infected.
I could've prepared you.
What?
I tried to talk
to you about this,
but you wouldn't.
I didn't know
what you were--
I didn't know why
you were asking.
If you did, you would've
flipped out even more!
Hey, Josh!
I just wanted to say
I'll see you
at the mixer tonight.
- Oh, the new
med-student mixer. I forgot.
Crap! Yeah, um,
Nora, this is Jesse.
He's just finishing up
MIT med school.
Hey, Nora.
Hi.
Uh, yeah! Hey,
congratulations, by the way.
Rematriculated!
Thanks.
Nicely played. Ha!
I've gotta go.
Yeah, I don't think
I'm gonna make it.
- No, no! Dude, all the first-
years are gonna be there,
girlfriends, boyfriends,
the whole catastrophe.
- Yeah, but--
- Trust me.
You do not wanna be
the one guy who doesn't show
who the rest of the class spends
the whole night gossiping about.
OK...
Do you wanna play rough?
- OK!
- OK.
Say hello to my little friend!
But it really didn't
feel like a dream.
Something flew out.
I felt it rush by me.
And if they were, I'd have
gotten my door 10 times over.
Well, what am I supposed to do?
What now? I'm clearly
never gonna sleep again.
So how am I supposed to fill
this giant, sucking
abyss of time?
You whores!
You whores!
This can't be it.
My eternal afterlife?
Dylan!
Sally's bored. Let's
take her to the bridge.
Or we could do
something actually fun.
Sally, you ready to rage?
All right.
Let's rage.
- Oh!
- Whoa!
I'm sorry!
I am so sorry!
Wow! Somebody's thirsty.
Uh, yeah, well, we can't
keep this stuff in stock.
Trauma patient?
Uh, anaemic.
Oh.
Do you work here?
I'm trying. I'm interviewing
for my residency.
Oh, who are you
interviewing with?
Dr. Norlick.
I knew it.
He's an ass, isn't he?
I mean, what kind of
a name is Norlick?
Don't put "lick" in your name.
He's not normally an ass.
It's just that
his wife left him
and he's just a little bit,
extremely angry, OK?
Hold on, I--
- Yeah.
- I gotta--
- Yeah.
I should--
I gotta take this.
Yeah.
Hello?
Aidan, it's Suren.
Yeah.
I need you to meet me
at the hotel.
Two werewolves
at a cocktail party.
Sounds sexy.
No, no, no...
Not-- not-- not wolves.
Not 2 wolves. Us.
This-- this is
who we are,
Josh and Nora, the cute,
normal, hardworking,
why-is-the-gorgeous-nurse-going-
for-the strange-orderly couple.
We can't let this
thing take over us.
No, I was dreading this
mixer way before last night.
Yes! See, that's the
proper human attitude,
hatred of awkward
social situations.
That's me, like, all the time.
I'm gonna go home,
I'm gonna put on my khakis
and my blue blazer,
and you are going to put on your
female equivalent of that,
and we are going
to mingle tonight.
Mingle?
Yes.
Right.
- Listen, there are
6-year-olds on the 3rd floor
battling leukemia,
and if they can
still smile, so can we.
I can't believe you just
played the cancer card.
Yeah. Um...
And I got you a mocha.
Yeah.
Ah! There he is.
Cecilia, this is Aidan.
What did I tell you?
Gorgeous, right? Sit.
Suren, I'm in the middle
of a shift.
I have a story
and it won't wait.
I was out walking and
Boston's changed so much.
I was completely turned around,
and then Cecilia showed up,
like a heavenly answer.
Oh, you're very dramatic.
Oh, yes, she is. Yes.
I keep looking at you,
thinking: "Have I seen him?"
But I don't think so.
I would've remembered you.
Where from?
The hospital.
Suren told me
that you're a nurse.
So you work there?
No, I'm a cop.
Lucky us.
You're looking for
someone to do security.
Aidan's been
hounding me about it.
I'll leave you to it.
Just a moment.
I told you I already
have cops lined up.
Cops who are vampires.
We can't rely on a bunch
of paunchy Bishop leftovers
who are gonna hate
taking orders from a woman
and the vampire who
who killed him.
We need people who
will be loyal to us.
They'll be loyal to whoever's
in power and that's you.
You speak with
Mother's authority.
Besides which, you can't just
turn some random cop
that you met on a stroll.
You don't know
anything about her.
Feeling a little
abandoned over here.
Aidan, she's smart.
She's ambitious
And anything she likes
you can mold her into.
If you want her, you're gonna
have to turn her yourself.
You think I'm asking too much
for you to break your diet?
You said you would help me.
You have no idea
how I'm compromising
myself for you already.
How's that?
You say our first
order of business
is to find a new connection
in the police department.
But there are some
who might want us
to focus on, say, Hegeman...
his sudden disappearance.
I could let them sniff
around if you'd like.
It's up to you.
* Meet me on the dark side *
* Enter from the inside...*
I was always planning
to go to B.U.
Now I can at least go
to their parties
that I would never
have gotten invited to.
So this it? This is raging,
walking around,
just watching a bunch of
drunk people dance like idiots?
You gotta pick your moment,
spot your guy, and jump in.
OK, well, what's the point if
you can't drink and smoke
and grind up on somebody you
hope you'll never see again?
Who says you can't?
How about we just
swing off a ceiling fan?
We just got here.
I think we just found 2 fish.
And now we rage.
Check it.
* Imprisoned by fate *
* Shame, blame
It's the shame game *
* But I will love again... *
Whoa!
Yeah, yeah!
Oh my god! Did they just
highjack those guys?
Oh my god!
It's not that
great. Trust me.
* Everyone has a dark side *
* Why don't you like mine? *
* Overseas... *
Hi.
See, this is lovely.
When was the last time we got
all dressed up and went out?
Yeah, everything
is picture perfect.
Josh!
I need a martini, stat.
Hey!
We made it.
We made it, yeah.
It's, uh...
OK, so is there,
like, a magic portal
between the shoulder blades
that you just--
- You've never taken
a body before?
I did once for, like,
10 seconds accidentally.
There was this medium and
she was trying to exorcise me
and it felt like I was
being ripped apart,
so I just jumped into her.
I was like one of those mothers
who'd flip over a car
to save her burning baby.
Holy crap!
Yeah.
Kind of jacked me up
for a while.
Well, see, like, drunk
people, or high people,
they're a little bit
easier to get into.
You know, their
resistance is lower.
Ah!
Then you have people who are
generally easier to get into.
And then you have fools who
you just cannot get into at all.
Why, because their
will is stronger?
I've actually never
figured that out.
It's just harder.
You just can't.
OK, so why aren't you
wearing somebody.
It's kind of like
getting wasted.
You know, I used to, but it sent
me down a very, very dark path.
And anyway, it doesn't
really matter who I'm in.
I'm still me inside.
You've got a hardcore emo
thing going on,
you know that?
Yeah, supposedly it works well
with the goth ghosts.
You know what?
Let's bounce.
No! Are you serious?
Maybe I can find someone with
a cute pixie haircut.
It's not like
trying on new outfits!
This is like a crack den!
You really wanna be
on the pipe right now?
You know what? I'm gonna be
completely honest with you.
I've always been a smidge
curious about the crack.
Really, is anything that good?
It's, like, you know
what I always said?
If I know I'm gonna die,
I'm 95 years old,
I'm living in a hospice,
I'm gonna try heroin,
just to see what it feels like.
Once.
Please don't do this.
Oh! Give her
another beaker!
It's not that easy.
Whoa! Whoa!
Aaah!
Whoa! Whoa!
Yes! Yes!
Oh! Yes! Aaah!
Hey!
Oh, I felt that!
Oh my god!
Mmm!
You really like beer.
That doesn't mean I'm slutty.
I like the feeling of it
sliding down your throat.
Like, the bubbles
that go--
You know it burns
and it tickles at
the same time!
You're totally baked right now.
- Mm-mmm.
Super alert, super clear.
Senses firing like fireworks.
It's like... ah!
I love 7-layer dip.
You want a drink?
We should probably
just stick to business.
Is that your code word?
I really wish you hadn't come.
You don't know what this is.
What?
Is Suren gonna walk in on us?
What's it with you two, anyway?
Come on.
I'm a cop.
I've heard it all.
Are we gonna do this
with our clothes on?
Go.
- What?
- GET OUT!
You're a freakin' nutcase.
So, you guys have been
dating for a couple months.
Yeah.
No.
Yes, we have.
But really on and off.
We've all been there.
Not that that's bad.
We're very close, though.
You know how tragedy, like,
brings people together.
We've been through a lot.
We've been hit
by so much lately.
Uh, Nora, are you OK?
You need to go to the bathroom.
- I'm fine. I just...
- You sure?
...want a bit
more wine.
I think you've had enough.
No, actually, I haven't.
I know you don't
think so, but you have.
And I know you
think so, but I haven't.
Nora, please, stop...
We're just gonna go
get some food.
I woke up naked in a pile
of leaf litter this morning
with a squirrel in my mouth,
so I'm gonna need
a little bit more.
What happened?
We were camping.
We went camping
last night. She's kidding.
It's not like I'm
pregnant anymore, right?
So I can drink whatever I want.
I'm so sorry.
That's fine.
A miscarriage.
It's all gone.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Wow.
Hey.
I'll get us a cab.
I'm so sorry...
No.
...but I'm too drunk
to pretend that I'm normal.
No, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have
made you do this.
Not today.
It was stupid.
Today, 2 weeks from now.
It doesn't matter.
I can't fix this by pretending.
I just wanna make it better.
It's like when people
come into the hospital,
their kid's in a coma,
and they ask me:
"What can we do?"
And I tell them
to just stay with them,
be with them.
But what that really means
is that there's
nothing they can do.
You know that
better than anyone.
You don't feed, you don't
kill and you can't turn.
How is this supposed
to work exactly?
I almost killed her, all right?
It's been too long since I fed.
I don't have that
kind of control now.
You're supposed to be
my second, my right hand.
You did this for Bishop.
I'm not that vampire anymore.
I used to worship you.
I wanted to be as strong, as
calculating, as ruthless as you.
And when I opened my eyes
and saw you standing
there at my side.
I thought:
"With his help,
"I can be everything
I was supposed to be,
"my mother's daughter."
How did you think we'd bring
a city of vampires to heal
without shedding
a drop of blood?
I don't think that there's
anything that I can say
about all the things,
the people that brought
me to this point
that would make you understand.
Get out.
You taking off?
No!
Hey, Dylan, you smell that?
It's jasmine.
That's intense.
I never thought
I'd smell anything again.
All that zen crap,
about embracing the moment,
it's true!
It's like, just to feel
solid like this, you know?
Now I feel like crying.
I wish I lived every
moment like this.
You can.
It's like one
big do-over now.
You can try on
as many as you want.
Oh, I have goose bumps.
I have goose bumps.
Oh, I never want to leave.
I never wanna leave.
And that's not
even the best part.
Ha! Whoa? This isn't
even my body.
Then who cares?
You didn't just say that.
Get off me! Get off!
Get me out!
It's way harder to
get out than to get in.
Stop! Get off me!
Get me out!
Stevie, stop it!
I told you this was dangerous.
Who the hell do
you think you are?
You wanna die again?
I'm gonna rip
your punk-ass head off.
Settle down.
You think this
is your business?
Hey, get off him!
You get into my face
and tell me to settle down?
You stickless freak.
Come on. Let's go.
You always get like this!
- Shut up!
- You get all "aggro" in people!
- Shut your face.
- You need to stop taking!
You don't tell me what to do.
No! No, stop!
No!
Aaah!
What happened to him?
Oh, crap!
What did you do?
I didn't mean to.
I told you.
This is what happens
when you take.
You lose control.
I'm sorry.
Oh God! Oh my...
They can't void your acceptance
because your girlfriend
flipped out, right?
None of that matters anymore.
I'm not going to med school.
What? What,
are you embarrassed
that they know that
about us, 'cause screw them!
No, I'm not
embarrassed. I'm just--
Pulling all-nighters so that
I can be a dermatologist
seems beside the point now.
It's not what I want.
I want to work on
finding a cure.
A cure.
Yes, I need to fix this!
I need to try and
fix this for you!
No, whoa. I do not want you
giving up med school for me.
I don't want that
responsibility.
What do you want?
What-- what do you want?
I admit we can't go on
like nothing has changed.
You say I can't do anything,
but maybe I can.
I don't know what I want.
I didn't want it
to be like this.
I wanted us to be happy,
not be together
because we're monsters.
I know.
It all moves so fast.
Too fast.
And I know I don't look
like it right now, but I'm--
I'm happy.
You-- You make me happy.
Then why do I feel like
we're completely screwed?
Because that's the
appropriate, human
and non-psychotic reaction.
You turned her.
She took to my blood
like a kitten to milk.
Did you know that
I haven't turned anyone
since I last saw you?
Because of what he did to you.
What are we gonna do, Aidan?
Why did you take this job...
really...
when you knew you'd
be right back at my side?
You knew what
you'd be asked to do.
Your mother is way too smart
to give you an unwilling second.
I told her that
I would help you,
I would guide you,
I would make you a success,
only because then...
then she'd set me free.
Set you free?
To live how I want,
with who I want,
and to never have to deal
with vampires ever again.
Sounds kind of lonely.
No one knows Boston
better than me.
No one can move
the pieces better than me.
And if it ever
came to a fight...
I killed Bishop,
and that's worth
everything here.
I will work for you.
But I could never be like you.
Except for that
last, little bit,
you're beginning to sound
like the old you.
I feel like I got
run over by a bus.
And the bus is parked
on top of me.
- I wish I could give you
a shot of B-12
or start an IV.
I'd kill for just some Tylenol.
And this is what happens
when you go into people?
Well, at least I'm still here.
You think he's really...
gone?
I felt it.
It's like Dylan was there
and then he just
wasn't anywhere.
It's like his energy
got snuffed out.
No!
I just didn't know that
we could do this to each other,
that we were capable of this.
I think it's better to know
what you're capable of.
Then you understand
what you're dealing with.
Yes?
Forgive me, but Hegeman and I
were to share
a ride home together.
Any word?
Word of what?
He was doing
business for your mother.
Well, Mother is away
and Hegeman is not in the habit
of checking in with me.
I suppose I can
take this up with Mother.
Do.
Safe travels.
* Take all*
* That you want from me*
* I've nothing *
* Lies or regrets... *
Hi.
Can I get a whiskey
on the rocks, please?
* I've nothing left *
* I'm all but dead *
* And I don't know *
* And I don't know *
* And I don't know*
* And I don't know... *
OK, I'm not.
But what if I really
were stalking you?
How was your interview?
Let's just say,
don't think your hospital's
the best fit for me anyway.
Oh, no, no, no.
Norlick...
Turns out he's a douche,
wife or no wife.
I gotta stop saying "douche".
It's... It's anti-feminist.
Hey, you know what, though?
You're gonna land
someplace better.
There's nothing worse than
working where you don't belong.
So someone's had
a rough day too, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. It was.
But, um...
So far it's got
a really nice ending.
I'm Aidan, by the way.
I'm Julia, by the way.
Nice to meet you, Julia.
Nice to meet
you too, officially.
* My head's awake *
* Too be sure *
You wanna get out of here?
* That I can't escape*
Last call.
* Find *
Stevie? I'm a little surprised
you're haunting school.
- 'Cause I killed myself to get out of here?
- Yes.
Ever try sleeping?
Can we even do that?
I actually dream.
What do you want?
We've gathered here to confirm
the best vampire to lead Boston.
That person is my daughter.
Aidan, you will be
my daughter's second.
My little girl.
We must help him, Hegeman.
No distractions, no wolf.
Things took a wild turn,
didn't they?
- Aaah! Get out!
- Oh my god!
And just a scratch was enough.
I love you.
Nora!
Nora?
Oh! Oh!
All I wanted was
to sleep again, dream.
Aidan!
I did die in
my pyjamas after all.
Aidan!
I was ready.
* I had a dream last night *
I miss that rest, the escape...
* I dreamt that
I was swimming *
* And the stars above *
...that luscious 8-hour break.
* Directionless and drifting *
* And somewhere in the dark *
* Were the sirens
and the thunder *
* And around me as I swam *
* The drifters who'd
gone under time, love... *
Turns out though,
monster don't get a break.
* Time, love *
Sleep is no escape...
* Time, love *
It's only a nest
to hatch more nightmares.
* Time, love *
* Time, love *
* It's only a change of time *
* I had a dream last night *
* And rusting far below me *
* Battered hulls
and broken hardships *
* Leviathan and lonely *
* I was thirsty so I drank *
* Though it was salt water *
* There was something
about the way *
* It tasted so familiar... *
You don't get to wake up,
your heart pounding,
and realize,
"God! That was just a dream."
You don't get to feel
that euphoria of being spared.
* It's only a change of time *
* The black clouds
I'm hanging *
* This anchor
I'm dragging... *
Mmm...
Aidan.
* We cut through
the lowlands... *
I never thought you'd be
the one to dig me up.
Why didn't you feed with me?
* Confusing and violent *
Because I don't
drink live anymore.
* I had a dream last night *
* When I opened my eyes*
* Your shoulder blade
Your spine *
* Were shorelines
and moonlight *
* New worlds for the weary *
* New lands for the living *
* I could make it if I tried *
* I closed my eyes
I kept on swimming *
* Time, love *
* Time, love *
Nora.
* Time love *
Nora?
* It's only a change
of time, love *
* Time, love *
NORA!
* Time, love *
* It's only a change
of time, love *
* Time, love... *
Because for us,
nightmares really do come true.
They already have.
* It's only a change of time *
I looked everywhere for you.
I thought you were--
You OK?
I'm a little shaky.
I did this to you that night?
Let's go inside, OK?
Yeah, OK.
Oh, I'll make you some tea.
OK, so, interesting
social development.
Sally.
Just not now, please.
Because I met
some people and--
- I had no idea
you were so beautiful.
You can see me?
Oh my god, Nora!
I've been wanting to talk
to you for so long! You--
How can you see me?
You're not dead, are you?
I'm a wolf.
- Whoa!
- One, two, three...
You moved! I told you not to.
Watch him.
Make sure he doesn't--
- Go, go!
- I don't care.
Not in the nads, OK?
Anywhere but the nads.
You flinch,
I get to do it twice.
Who are you?
You a vampire?
Uh, Josh, Nora, this is Stevie,
my friend from
the reunion. Yeah!
And, uh, OK, this is Dylan,
And, uh, the guys
call him Boner.
I call him Phil, the name
he was actually born with.
Boner.
What's up?
Hey, I like your place.
I'm gonna go wash.
I think that's, uh...
I'm-- I'm so sorry
about this.
Were there this many
ghosts here before
and I just couldn't see them?
No. No.
God, no.
What's with the lost boys?
Last night, had this
evil nightmare.
Wait, stop. What are you
talking about, nightmare?
I slept. Stevie
taught me how to sleep.
I did it. It was
a friggin' mistake,
because I dreamt
my door came back.
I opened it and then
this-- this thing rushed out.
And I think it
actually flew out.
OK. But why are
those ghosts here?
Well, you guys weren't here,
so I went to talk
to Stevie about it,
and he was at this sketchy
diner with his friends,
and I don't know,
I invited them here.
Just invited them over.
Great idea.
You look worse than Josh.
And he just found
he turned Nora.
Why would you do that?
I need a drink.
I'm sorry. I get
nervous around bad news.
I have to eject it
as quickly as possible.
Like food poisoning, you throw
it up, feel better. I'm sorry.
Why are there ghosts punching
each other in the balls?
Oh, God! I can't go through
this again. You do it.
Why not?
Come on, man! Come on!
God, Aidan.
I wanna kill myself.
How could I have
let this happen?
OK, listen to me. You can't
do this to yourself right now.
Do not make this
about you. Out!
You know, and the
sick, crazy thing
is that I owe her my life.
If Nora wasn't a wolf,
I'd be dead.
There was a vampire
in the woods.
He tried to kill me.
One of the
Dutch guys, I--
- Hegeman?
I don't know!
He had the beard.
It was the boss.
Oh! Hegeman.
Nora's wolf killed him.
Josh?
Very important.
Were there any
other vampires there?
Listen to me. I don't want
Nora to know about this, OK?
She can't know that
she killed somebody,
even if he was
a homicidal vampire.
That's why his name is Boner.
It requires heavy maintenance.
He's a ghost.
He can't--
It's like a phantom limb.
He can mind-whack it.
That's disgusting.
You know, I think I'm just
gonna-- I'm gonna head home.
Uh... OK, yeah.
I'm sorry about
the haunted circus here.
I'll walk you home.
No, I--
I'm just gonna walk by myself.
But I'll, um,
call you later, OK?
Yeah.
Josh, join us, please!
Aidan, you can't leave.
Hey, hey, hey!
You can't go. I have
a room full of teenage boys.
Besides beating off and
playing Xbox, what do they do?
That about covers it.
Get rid of them.
Your friends kill people.
This is it for me. This is
who I have to hang out with.
I have to start somewhere.
Come on, you were a teenage
boy once, in medieval times.
Hey, dudes, um,
when did you die?
'01.
'86.
Well, do you want
to watch Scarface in HD?
It's out?
Oh yeah.
- Never seen it.
- What's wrong with you?
That is why you've
never moved on.
Come on!
That'll work, thank you.
How is it you get stuck
minding the errant
princess again?
I'm more like your advisor.
Well, that's unsettling.
You were Bishop's advisor
and he's dead.
It was complicated and
it has nothing to do with us
and I promised your mother
that I would help you
lead Boston, so....
OK, so if you're ready,
the first thing we need to do
is we need to find
someone in the police
to take over what Bishop did,
covering up killings,
handling cleanups.
What's it feel like
with your maker gone?
Uh, it's a little strange.
But not necessarily
in a bad way.
I bet you feel free.
So why take this job,
grooming me?
Such a bizarre term, isn't it?
Well, you know
better than anyone.
Your mother speaks,
and it happens.
Well, the drapes are different,
but everything else
looks the same.
It's like we were just here.
Except the lights were more
flattering back them.
These bulbs are so harsh.
Suren, I really think we need
to handle this police situation.
Are you up to seeing
the candidates today?
Aidan, you don't have to worry.
I'm not the gullible little fool
you had to babysit then.
OK. I've changed too.
Oh, that's right.
You're a vegetarian now.
Why don't we forget
about the past?
It's kind of hard
to do, isn't it,
when Mother's put
us right back here
at the scene of the crime?
It's so like her.
She wants to rub
my nose in it...
my weakness.
But she did give you back to me.
Look, we've all made mistakes.
We just have to show her that
you are ready to lead now.
You really think I can?
If you want to.
If you're willing to
block out distractions.
I've had 80 years to
think about what I want.
I won't be
distracted this time.
Please!
Aaah! Let me go!
Hey.
Hi.
Should you maybe
have taken a sick day?
No, I think this is the best
thing for me right now, working.
Makes me feel almost normal.
Can I get--
Can I-- can I
get a mocha?
Get whatever you want.
No, no, no.
No, can I get a mocha?
'Cause, you know, chocolate
is toxic to dogs.
So I just--
You're not a dog.
No, but I am, like,
a canine, right? Of sorts.
Once a month.
One night a month.
The rest of the time,
we're still us.
I keep doing
my rounds, thinking:
I'm a werewolf
wrapping a burn victim.
I'm a werewolf
inserting a catheter.
I'm a werewolf peeing
in the ladies room.
How much do you remember
about the change?
Being in the car,
and the panic, the pain.
You don't remember anything
about being the wolf?
Should I?
No. No, that's
the one blessing.
We seem not to remember
what the wolf does.
Why didn't you tell
me about the scratch?
I didn't know
if I was infected.
I could've prepared you.
What?
I tried to talk
to you about this,
but you wouldn't.
I didn't know
what you were--
I didn't know why
you were asking.
If you did, you would've
flipped out even more!
Hey, Josh!
I just wanted to say
I'll see you
at the mixer tonight.
- Oh, the new
med-student mixer. I forgot.
Crap! Yeah, um,
Nora, this is Jesse.
He's just finishing up
MIT med school.
Hey, Nora.
Hi.
Uh, yeah! Hey,
congratulations, by the way.
Rematriculated!
Thanks.
Nicely played. Ha!
I've gotta go.
Yeah, I don't think
I'm gonna make it.
- No, no! Dude, all the first-
years are gonna be there,
girlfriends, boyfriends,
the whole catastrophe.
- Yeah, but--
- Trust me.
You do not wanna be
the one guy who doesn't show
who the rest of the class spends
the whole night gossiping about.
OK...
Do you wanna play rough?
- OK!
- OK.
Say hello to my little friend!
But it really didn't
feel like a dream.
Something flew out.
I felt it rush by me.
And if they were, I'd have
gotten my door 10 times over.
Well, what am I supposed to do?
What now? I'm clearly
never gonna sleep again.
So how am I supposed to fill
this giant, sucking
abyss of time?
You whores!
You whores!
This can't be it.
My eternal afterlife?
Dylan!
Sally's bored. Let's
take her to the bridge.
Or we could do
something actually fun.
Sally, you ready to rage?
All right.
Let's rage.
- Oh!
- Whoa!
I'm sorry!
I am so sorry!
Wow! Somebody's thirsty.
Uh, yeah, well, we can't
keep this stuff in stock.
Trauma patient?
Uh, anaemic.
Oh.
Do you work here?
I'm trying. I'm interviewing
for my residency.
Oh, who are you
interviewing with?
Dr. Norlick.
I knew it.
He's an ass, isn't he?
I mean, what kind of
a name is Norlick?
Don't put "lick" in your name.
He's not normally an ass.
It's just that
his wife left him
and he's just a little bit,
extremely angry, OK?
Hold on, I--
- Yeah.
- I gotta--
- Yeah.
I should--
I gotta take this.
Yeah.
Hello?
Aidan, it's Suren.
Yeah.
I need you to meet me
at the hotel.
Two werewolves
at a cocktail party.
Sounds sexy.
No, no, no...
Not-- not-- not wolves.
Not 2 wolves. Us.
This-- this is
who we are,
Josh and Nora, the cute,
normal, hardworking,
why-is-the-gorgeous-nurse-going-
for-the strange-orderly couple.
We can't let this
thing take over us.
No, I was dreading this
mixer way before last night.
Yes! See, that's the
proper human attitude,
hatred of awkward
social situations.
That's me, like, all the time.
I'm gonna go home,
I'm gonna put on my khakis
and my blue blazer,
and you are going to put on your
female equivalent of that,
and we are going
to mingle tonight.
Mingle?
Yes.
Right.
- Listen, there are
6-year-olds on the 3rd floor
battling leukemia,
and if they can
still smile, so can we.
I can't believe you just
played the cancer card.
Yeah. Um...
And I got you a mocha.
Yeah.
Ah! There he is.
Cecilia, this is Aidan.
What did I tell you?
Gorgeous, right? Sit.
Suren, I'm in the middle
of a shift.
I have a story
and it won't wait.
I was out walking and
Boston's changed so much.
I was completely turned around,
and then Cecilia showed up,
like a heavenly answer.
Oh, you're very dramatic.
Oh, yes, she is. Yes.
I keep looking at you,
thinking: "Have I seen him?"
But I don't think so.
I would've remembered you.
Where from?
The hospital.
Suren told me
that you're a nurse.
So you work there?
No, I'm a cop.
Lucky us.
You're looking for
someone to do security.
Aidan's been
hounding me about it.
I'll leave you to it.
Just a moment.
I told you I already
have cops lined up.
Cops who are vampires.
We can't rely on a bunch
of paunchy Bishop leftovers
who are gonna hate
taking orders from a woman
and the vampire who
who killed him.
We need people who
will be loyal to us.
They'll be loyal to whoever's
in power and that's you.
You speak with
Mother's authority.
Besides which, you can't just
turn some random cop
that you met on a stroll.
You don't know
anything about her.
Feeling a little
abandoned over here.
Aidan, she's smart.
She's ambitious
And anything she likes
you can mold her into.
If you want her, you're gonna
have to turn her yourself.
You think I'm asking too much
for you to break your diet?
You said you would help me.
You have no idea
how I'm compromising
myself for you already.
How's that?
You say our first
order of business
is to find a new connection
in the police department.
But there are some
who might want us
to focus on, say, Hegeman...
his sudden disappearance.
I could let them sniff
around if you'd like.
It's up to you.
* Meet me on the dark side *
* Enter from the inside...*
I was always planning
to go to B.U.
Now I can at least go
to their parties
that I would never
have gotten invited to.
So this it? This is raging,
walking around,
just watching a bunch of
drunk people dance like idiots?
You gotta pick your moment,
spot your guy, and jump in.
OK, well, what's the point if
you can't drink and smoke
and grind up on somebody you
hope you'll never see again?
Who says you can't?
How about we just
swing off a ceiling fan?
We just got here.
I think we just found 2 fish.
And now we rage.
Check it.
* Imprisoned by fate *
* Shame, blame
It's the shame game *
* But I will love again... *
Whoa!
Yeah, yeah!
Oh my god! Did they just
highjack those guys?
Oh my god!
It's not that
great. Trust me.
* Everyone has a dark side *
* Why don't you like mine? *
* Overseas... *
Hi.
See, this is lovely.
When was the last time we got
all dressed up and went out?
Yeah, everything
is picture perfect.
Josh!
I need a martini, stat.
Hey!
We made it.
We made it, yeah.
It's, uh...
OK, so is there,
like, a magic portal
between the shoulder blades
that you just--
- You've never taken
a body before?
I did once for, like,
10 seconds accidentally.
There was this medium and
she was trying to exorcise me
and it felt like I was
being ripped apart,
so I just jumped into her.
I was like one of those mothers
who'd flip over a car
to save her burning baby.
Holy crap!
Yeah.
Kind of jacked me up
for a while.
Well, see, like, drunk
people, or high people,
they're a little bit
easier to get into.
You know, their
resistance is lower.
Ah!
Then you have people who are
generally easier to get into.
And then you have fools who
you just cannot get into at all.
Why, because their
will is stronger?
I've actually never
figured that out.
It's just harder.
You just can't.
OK, so why aren't you
wearing somebody.
It's kind of like
getting wasted.
You know, I used to, but it sent
me down a very, very dark path.
And anyway, it doesn't
really matter who I'm in.
I'm still me inside.
You've got a hardcore emo
thing going on,
you know that?
Yeah, supposedly it works well
with the goth ghosts.
You know what?
Let's bounce.
No! Are you serious?
Maybe I can find someone with
a cute pixie haircut.
It's not like
trying on new outfits!
This is like a crack den!
You really wanna be
on the pipe right now?
You know what? I'm gonna be
completely honest with you.
I've always been a smidge
curious about the crack.
Really, is anything that good?
It's, like, you know
what I always said?
If I know I'm gonna die,
I'm 95 years old,
I'm living in a hospice,
I'm gonna try heroin,
just to see what it feels like.
Once.
Please don't do this.
Oh! Give her
another beaker!
It's not that easy.
Whoa! Whoa!
Aaah!
Whoa! Whoa!
Yes! Yes!
Oh! Yes! Aaah!
Hey!
Oh, I felt that!
Oh my god!
Mmm!
You really like beer.
That doesn't mean I'm slutty.
I like the feeling of it
sliding down your throat.
Like, the bubbles
that go--
You know it burns
and it tickles at
the same time!
You're totally baked right now.
- Mm-mmm.
Super alert, super clear.
Senses firing like fireworks.
It's like... ah!
I love 7-layer dip.
You want a drink?
We should probably
just stick to business.
Is that your code word?
I really wish you hadn't come.
You don't know what this is.
What?
Is Suren gonna walk in on us?
What's it with you two, anyway?
Come on.
I'm a cop.
I've heard it all.
Are we gonna do this
with our clothes on?
Go.
- What?
- GET OUT!
You're a freakin' nutcase.
So, you guys have been
dating for a couple months.
Yeah.
No.
Yes, we have.
But really on and off.
We've all been there.
Not that that's bad.
We're very close, though.
You know how tragedy, like,
brings people together.
We've been through a lot.
We've been hit
by so much lately.
Uh, Nora, are you OK?
You need to go to the bathroom.
- I'm fine. I just...
- You sure?
...want a bit
more wine.
I think you've had enough.
No, actually, I haven't.
I know you don't
think so, but you have.
And I know you
think so, but I haven't.
Nora, please, stop...
We're just gonna go
get some food.
I woke up naked in a pile
of leaf litter this morning
with a squirrel in my mouth,
so I'm gonna need
a little bit more.
What happened?
We were camping.
We went camping
last night. She's kidding.
It's not like I'm
pregnant anymore, right?
So I can drink whatever I want.
I'm so sorry.
That's fine.
A miscarriage.
It's all gone.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Wow.
Hey.
I'll get us a cab.
I'm so sorry...
No.
...but I'm too drunk
to pretend that I'm normal.
No, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have
made you do this.
Not today.
It was stupid.
Today, 2 weeks from now.
It doesn't matter.
I can't fix this by pretending.
I just wanna make it better.
It's like when people
come into the hospital,
their kid's in a coma,
and they ask me:
"What can we do?"
And I tell them
to just stay with them,
be with them.
But what that really means
is that there's
nothing they can do.
You know that
better than anyone.
You don't feed, you don't
kill and you can't turn.
How is this supposed
to work exactly?
I almost killed her, all right?
It's been too long since I fed.
I don't have that
kind of control now.
You're supposed to be
my second, my right hand.
You did this for Bishop.
I'm not that vampire anymore.
I used to worship you.
I wanted to be as strong, as
calculating, as ruthless as you.
And when I opened my eyes
and saw you standing
there at my side.
I thought:
"With his help,
"I can be everything
I was supposed to be,
"my mother's daughter."
How did you think we'd bring
a city of vampires to heal
without shedding
a drop of blood?
I don't think that there's
anything that I can say
about all the things,
the people that brought
me to this point
that would make you understand.
Get out.
You taking off?
No!
Hey, Dylan, you smell that?
It's jasmine.
That's intense.
I never thought
I'd smell anything again.
All that zen crap,
about embracing the moment,
it's true!
It's like, just to feel
solid like this, you know?
Now I feel like crying.
I wish I lived every
moment like this.
You can.
It's like one
big do-over now.
You can try on
as many as you want.
Oh, I have goose bumps.
I have goose bumps.
Oh, I never want to leave.
I never wanna leave.
And that's not
even the best part.
Ha! Whoa? This isn't
even my body.
Then who cares?
You didn't just say that.
Get off me! Get off!
Get me out!
It's way harder to
get out than to get in.
Stop! Get off me!
Get me out!
Stevie, stop it!
I told you this was dangerous.
Who the hell do
you think you are?
You wanna die again?
I'm gonna rip
your punk-ass head off.
Settle down.
You think this
is your business?
Hey, get off him!
You get into my face
and tell me to settle down?
You stickless freak.
Come on. Let's go.
You always get like this!
- Shut up!
- You get all "aggro" in people!
- Shut your face.
- You need to stop taking!
You don't tell me what to do.
No! No, stop!
No!
Aaah!
What happened to him?
Oh, crap!
What did you do?
I didn't mean to.
I told you.
This is what happens
when you take.
You lose control.
I'm sorry.
Oh God! Oh my...
They can't void your acceptance
because your girlfriend
flipped out, right?
None of that matters anymore.
I'm not going to med school.
What? What,
are you embarrassed
that they know that
about us, 'cause screw them!
No, I'm not
embarrassed. I'm just--
Pulling all-nighters so that
I can be a dermatologist
seems beside the point now.
It's not what I want.
I want to work on
finding a cure.
A cure.
Yes, I need to fix this!
I need to try and
fix this for you!
No, whoa. I do not want you
giving up med school for me.
I don't want that
responsibility.
What do you want?
What-- what do you want?
I admit we can't go on
like nothing has changed.
You say I can't do anything,
but maybe I can.
I don't know what I want.
I didn't want it
to be like this.
I wanted us to be happy,
not be together
because we're monsters.
I know.
It all moves so fast.
Too fast.
And I know I don't look
like it right now, but I'm--
I'm happy.
You-- You make me happy.
Then why do I feel like
we're completely screwed?
Because that's the
appropriate, human
and non-psychotic reaction.
You turned her.
She took to my blood
like a kitten to milk.
Did you know that
I haven't turned anyone
since I last saw you?
Because of what he did to you.
What are we gonna do, Aidan?
Why did you take this job...
really...
when you knew you'd
be right back at my side?
You knew what
you'd be asked to do.
Your mother is way too smart
to give you an unwilling second.
I told her that
I would help you,
I would guide you,
I would make you a success,
only because then...
then she'd set me free.
Set you free?
To live how I want,
with who I want,
and to never have to deal
with vampires ever again.
Sounds kind of lonely.
No one knows Boston
better than me.
No one can move
the pieces better than me.
And if it ever
came to a fight...
I killed Bishop,
and that's worth
everything here.
I will work for you.
But I could never be like you.
Except for that
last, little bit,
you're beginning to sound
like the old you.
I feel like I got
run over by a bus.
And the bus is parked
on top of me.
- I wish I could give you
a shot of B-12
or start an IV.
I'd kill for just some Tylenol.
And this is what happens
when you go into people?
Well, at least I'm still here.
You think he's really...
gone?
I felt it.
It's like Dylan was there
and then he just
wasn't anywhere.
It's like his energy
got snuffed out.
No!
I just didn't know that
we could do this to each other,
that we were capable of this.
I think it's better to know
what you're capable of.
Then you understand
what you're dealing with.
Yes?
Forgive me, but Hegeman and I
were to share
a ride home together.
Any word?
Word of what?
He was doing
business for your mother.
Well, Mother is away
and Hegeman is not in the habit
of checking in with me.
I suppose I can
take this up with Mother.
Do.
Safe travels.

Hi.
Can I get a whiskey

OK, I'm not.
But what if I really
were stalking you?
How was your interview?
Let's just say,
don't think your hospital's
the best fit for me anyway.
Oh, no, no, no.
Norlick...
Turns out he's a douche,
wife or no wife.
I gotta stop saying "douche".
It's... It's anti-feminist.
Hey, you know what, though?
You're gonna land
someplace better.
There's nothing worse than
working where you don't belong.
So someone's had
a rough day too, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. It was.
But, um...
So far it's got
a really nice ending.
I'm Aidan, by the way.
I'm Julia, by the way.
Nice to meet you, Julia.
Nice to meet
you too, officially.
* My head's awake *
* Too be sure *
You wanna get out of here?
