Being Human (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 4 - (I Loathe You) For Sentimental Reasons - full transcript

Previously on Being Human.

No one else have rights
to goes to the nursery.

You're not dead and
you're talking to me?

There's something after me.
Something in dark,

that I let loose into my part.

Aaah! Get off! Get me out!

This is what happens when you take.
You lose control.

Nora!
You're a killer.

I want to work on
finding a cure.

I need to fix this, I need to try and
fix this for you!

We've gathered here to confirm
the best vampire to lead Boston.



That person is my daughter.

I will work for you,
but I could never be like you.

I haven't eaten.
The hospital put the supply

under lock and key.

I'm gonna get sick and
then the hunger takes over.

Still nice to have something
to fall back to, huh?

Most people can't do it,

cover up their true feelings

pretend to be something
they're not.

I can't, baby.

I got nothing left.

Um, I'll pay you double.
Just one more time.

Then I'll be dead.

I'll tell you what.
You come back later.



I'll talk to Darla.

Maybe she can
take care of you.

Fine.

Anyone asks---

I know, you were never here.

But it doesn't
change who you are

or what you are.

No nightmares?

None.

Nothing big, scary or
disembodied coming after you?

Nope, not for
a couple weeks.

Congratulations.
It's a start.

Does this not fast-track
me to reincarnation?

Come on, I'm sure one of these sick
guys could use my help.

I'm ready.
Pull me in, coach.

We still don't
know what you saw

or if it's
gone for good.

I run this
group for ghosts,

meet once a week.

Why do I need
other ghosts?

I have you and you know
all about them.

You realize you are
one of them.

Well, I'm kind of
a special case.

After all, I did--

"Turn down my door
to help a friend."

We know. Too bad
you're already dead

or we'd put it
on your tombstone.

I just don't wanna take
a spot in your group

for somebody who
actually needs it.

Like a ghost who thinks

she summoned pure evil
into the world?

If you hate what you are,
you'll do anything to deny it.

You'll feed the line
till it becomes real.

But who you are
doesn't go away.

It waits for you.

Hey, there.

I was hoping
I'd see you here.

Hello, Dr. Forest!

So, um, any change
on the Lothian girl

Nope.

Pulse,
"ox" levels steady?

Correct.

Huh! Whatever
you're doing,

it's working wonders.

He's cute!

Zoe?

OK.

Nice chat.

Were you playing
hard to get

or were you auditioning
for the Miracle Worker?

How much time do
you spend around humans?

All day.

That don't
spit up on you?

Don't you think
it's time to try?

Never saw
a reason to.

I did.

And you just
let him walk away.

We put so much work into
hiding what's really there,

a new coat of paint
on rotted wood,

creative accounting,
the comb-over.

But then you realize

that lie you've spent
so much time crafting...

Excuse me.

I need your help.

The police brought
my brother here.

They won't even
let me see him.

Do you know
where he is?

The psych ward.

I need you to
help me get him out.

I can't do that.

You work here, right?

The scrubs, right.

They--they confuse
a lot of people.

I'm not a doctor.

I'm not a nurse.
I'm just an orderly.

I'm not asking
because you're a doctor.

...in the end, the only person
your lie ever fools...

I'm asking
because you're a wolf.

...is you.

BEING HUMAN
- I Loathe You for Sentimental Reasons -

How did you
know I'm a wolf?

Am I giving
something off?

I'm a wolf too.

I've always been able
to tell and so can Connor.

Your brother?

Yeah, and
he's not crazy.

He just got
into a fight.

He almost never does
this kind of thing.

Almost never isn't
exactly helping his case.

I know! OK, look, some
guys were picking on him.

He wouldn't stop.

He wouldn't back down.
He lost it.

And when the cops came,
he couldn't pull it together,

so they brought
him here.

I'm sure he's
a nice fellow, OK?

But maybe this is exactly where
he needs to be right now.

No, no, no. We can't
leave him here.

What if they start
running tests on him

and he comes
back different?

They're gonna treat him
like some lap animal.

How long can they
hold him here?

Involuntary hold
is a week.

That puts us into
a full moon.

Then your brother's not
the one I'm worried about.

OK, listen to me.

There's a service
entrance around back.

Meet us there in
10 minutes, OK?

OK.

Why can't we eat in
my office? There are no bugs.

And no people.

Why you so happy?

I hate you
a lot right now.

Just follow my lead.
You'll do great.

I never see
you out here.

Because I
don't like it.

You hungry?

Can't beat vending-
machine tuna.

Allergic.

But thank you.

But thank you.

But thank you!

No problem.

So I hear you
grew up in Sudbury.

My mom taught
high school there.

- Tell him that's interesting.
- It's not.

What's not?

Nothing. I mean,
what you were saying,

it wasn't interesting.

Noted.

So Sudbury, my mother
and tuna are now off limits.

And the outdoors.

Come on! Just give the guy
a hair flip and chuckle.

Hair flip!

Come on, this is
5th-grade stuff, Gonzalez!

Anyway, I should, um...

I should get back.

Can't argue with that.

Can't argue
with that.

OK, OK. Let's say we have
some room for improvement.

When was your
last date?

Hey, do you guys
notice anything

extra wolfy
about me today?

No.

You look normal.

Pale Rider over here
doesn't look so hot though.

Had a rough night.
That's all.

Why are you so worried
about the wolf thing?

Well, because another werewolf
walked right up to me today

and called me out.

What you do?

I helped her
werewolf brother

break out of
the psych ward.

I know it wasn't a perfect
plan, but I--I just--

I felt bad for the guy.

I mean, he seemed harmless.

- Like Danny.
- Like Ray.

I didn't know
what else to do.

OK? It was either
let the guy go

or turn the psych ward
into Thunderdome.

I'm sure it's fine.

What do you guys know
about Dr. Forest?

Tim?

You guys hang out?

He's a doctor.
I'm an orderly.

He's new. I don't really
know that much about him.

New? Perfect!

He'll be like training
wheels for Zoe.

I did see him have lunch
with a woman last week.

Lunch? Whatever.

Serious couples
eat at night.

Weird Zoe and
the hot doc?

No, that's like
Jack Bauer dating Chloe.

It's like you kind of want
to see it but not really.

You just let a werewolf
out of the nut-wing,

so guess who
doesn't get a vote!

Who's home tonight?

I am.

Nora's working
doubles all week.

Don't wait up.

I got some things
to do first.

You know how creepy
that sounds, right?

I hope she's worth it.

Who do you
think you are?

The unluckiest vampire
in Boston again.

If you truly were
a great warrior,

and not just some
hollow reputation,

off doing something useful
instead of harassing me.

Sister, if you give me a
lecture on squandered talent,

let me pull up a chair.

You're the expert.

You think my guards
in Newport or Chicago

would ever lay
a finger on me?

Of course not. They all want
something from you.

I just want you gone.

At least their people understand
how to treat us.

You want to be treated
like a royal, act like one,

and stop using
your mother

as an excuse to do nothing!

You're late, but at
least you look like crap.

Tell me, when is this
nonsense of you not feeding

going to stop?

I'm here, aren't I?

Barely. How am I
supposed to run Boston

when this is what
I have to work with?

Who is this?

Someone I want you
to meet.

So, he's one too?

- One what?
- A vampire.

Relax.
He knows about us.

A girl that worked
for me, a dancer,

she got a very generous offer,
but not for sex, for blood.

So, I started
asking around,

connected a few dots,
and here I am.

But I'm not here to
break up anyone's party.

What do you want?

I wanna become
one of you.

Not interested.

We haven't even
heard his offer.

I can get you access, hmm?
Politicians, judges.

you need girls or boys for your
blood-den places, they're yours.

Something goes wrong, well,

we handle the waste-
management side of things too.

In exchange,
we grant you the strength

to wipe out anyone
who stands in your way.

You sky-rocket through
the mob ranks, we get little,

you get immortality.

Nah-uh. No, we don't
need his help.

Until I get it from
my own people, I do.

I've heard about your
orphan problem too, hmm?

The vamps
you cut loose,

they're, uh, they're
getting desperate, sloppy.

Yesterday, one of
them grabbed a couple girls

at a soccer practice.

That keeps
happening, well,

that comes back to you.

We can handle
the orphans.

Look, all I wanna
do is help, hmm?

They're living
outside the law.

The people they
talk to talk to me.

And you can tell us
where they are.

Well, uh, I'll do
you one better.

I love that!

He was all drunk.

But I still needed
3 guys and a shovel

to take
him down.

Grabbing kids
in broad daylight.

I'm embarrassed for you.

And this is why we have
cops who work for us.

They can handle this.

You take
somebody's kid,

and nobody's looking to
the cops to make it right.

They come to my associates.

We know nothing
about this guy.

I know he's done more to cull
the orphans than you have.

What?

Hey, you got show
me how to do that.

Heart, wood.

We'll be in touch.

God, Aidan,
you need a drink!

You want out of
this life so badly,

you should be begging
me to take his offer6

Puts you on the road
to freedom from all of us...

...from me.

Look, this was never about
getting away from you.

If we turn him then
he's our responsibility,

and the only thing
that we know about him is

that he'd be willing
to sell out his own family

for a better offer!

No, there are
other options.

Like what?

Turn out new vampires
the way Bishop did?

Brag about going public
and ruling humans?

As if I would waste
my time with them.

Mother says we live best
when we are least seen.

Yes.

And his offer
gets me that.

And I agree with
that philosophy,

but not like this.

Not with him!

She can't treat you
like this, Aidan.

Forty minutes late.
and counting.

Who does she
think she is?

She knows exactly who she is.
Let it go, Henry.

You've protected
Boston for decades,

but she treats you
like her nanny.

You are so far above this.

Soon enough,
she and Mother

and the whole circus
will move on.

You've given everything
to this family, to Mother.

And how do
they repay you?

By making you do it
all over again forever.

Your concern
is touching, Henry.

Wouldn't have anything
to do with the fact

that more power for me means
more power for you, would it?

When you turned me,
you made it sound

like steak dinners
and chorus girls.

This is one step up
from a bread line.

Bread line? That's exactly
where you would be

if it weren't for me.

You are one of
the lucky few.

Don't ever
forget that.

And don't forget
who gave it to you.

You opened
a door for me.

But now you make me stand
on the outside, looking in,

Brushing shoulders with royalty
while I cool my heels out here.

You make excuses
for Suren,

"it's not her fault,"

blaming Mother for
giving her all this power

and no responsibility.

Close your trap
or I will.

Fine.

But tell me how you're
so different from Mother.

How come you make
excuses for Suren

and not the
child you made?

Tired of making
excuses for Suren.

She thinks I'm gonna
wait one more--

I'm sorry if
I kept you waiting.

No apology necessary.

But thank you.

Go to Covella's and
buy yourself a real suit.

I'll talk to Mother about
putting you on Suren's detail.

And wipe that smile
off your face.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa!

I have very
sensitive retinas, so...

Hey.

We couldn't stick around,
but Connor wanted say thanks.

What you did
back there, man,

that was a, uh,
that was a prime move.

Right. Well, I'm sure you
would've done the same for me.

Clearly, you don't
know my brother.

But let's change that.

Please, allow us
to thank you properly.

We're
going out.

You should come.

Thank you.
Thanks, but no, thanks.

Come on!

It's been a long time
since we met one of us

that actually wanted
to hang out with.

Yeah. I don't--

I've never met a brother and
sister who both got turned.

How old were you guys?

We
weren't turned.

We're purebreds, Josh.

You mean you were
born this way?

You need that drink
more than I do.

Have you
ever been here?

Once in college.

They wouldn't
let me in.

It was a private party.

Thanks, Cochise.

Thank you,
Mr. Cochise.

His name's
not Cochise.

Your brother just
called him that.

He calls everybody that

so he doesn't have to
remember their names.

Does he know
he sounds like a tool?

You know,
I'd like to say no,

but I have seen him practice
his "Cochises" in the mirror.

If it isn't my
favourite mind reader.

Come here.
Mmm! Mmm!

This guy with his little wallet
and everything. Adorable!

Yeah, yeah.

That's because I come
from a planet

where people actually
have to pay for things.

I don't, uh,
I don't really party.

Do people still call it
that even? I don't--

It's OK.

Yeah, I'm--I'm---

It's aconite.

Which is druggie-speak
for what exactly?

It's not a drug, it's a herb.
Most people call it wolfsbane.

It's like wolf Xanax.

So why does he
need to take it?

You know how you
feel before a turn?

Your senses are on fire,

you're sharp but you kind of
wanna jump out of your own skin?

That's how we feel
all the time.

That's how you knew
I was a wolf.

Yeah, and why Connor
acts like an idiot

unless he gets a little
aconite to take the edge off.

So he's not trying
to get high?

No.

He's trying
to be normal.

I don't know why

I froze up with Dr. Forest.

There's something about him.

He's too good-looking
or too smooth.

Too not dead.

I think you're way more
into him than I am.

But you're human.

Don't remind me.
Ghosts are easier.

No time to waste,
just wanna move on.

If ghosts are
so well-adjusted,

then why do they need
a support group?

They want resolution.

Didn't say
they have it.

Dear.

What?

Dude with ponytail,
twelve o'clock,

looks like he died
on a retreat.

Hey, Gus.

OK, braless lady
with the drawstring pants.

That'd be Jane.

I can hear the
over-sharing now.

They need help,
just like you.

Blech.

You know what?
I know I said

that I'd give this
a try, but, um,

these aren't my people,

so I'm just gonna--

Nick?

You 2 know each other?

From college. Hi.

And after.

If we were alive, this is where
we'd have to decide on, um...

Hey, Walter.

...going for
the awkward hug.

Yeah, so glad
that's off the table.

- Um, I'm sorry about that--
- I'm sorry I was so harsh.

No, I was a wuss.

Anyway, I'm--
I'm glad you're here.

Me too.

Mom and Dad traced our
line back to Scotland,

12 or 13 generations.

We still have an estate
in the highlands.

You guys
ever been or...

Nah. I try to make it to the
British Open in St. Andrew's,

but otherwise,
why bother, right?

Yeah, I don't even really know
how to respond to that.

I mean, I can see that
you're speaking English.

I know your lips
are moving, but--

I know it's not a life
you hear about everyday.

But neither is yours.

Yeah, how'd you go from
MIT to being an orderly?

What am I missing here?

Maybe the part where
I turn into a canine,

a serial killer
once a month.

Please, don't be one
of those people

who uses the wolf
as an excuse.

I'm not making excuses,
but it is a reality.

I'm trying to deal.
I'm--I'm tr--

Trying to find a cure.

What, you're looking
for a cure too?

Come on,
you make it seem

like you're slaving
away in a lab.

I've been thinking
about it for years!

Mmm! Same way you think
about solar power

and ways to
destroy the yen?

Yeah.
Come on.

What you got?
Show me your work.

I only started
last month.

It's not like I've got endless cash
to pay for research, you know?

Right, but what
if you did?

No, you're misunderstanding.
That's now what I meant.

I'm not asking for your help.

I'm offering, Josh.
So where's the lab?

I'll come by tomorrow.

I shouldn't have
brought it up.

So now you're not even
gonna tell me where it is?

You serious about it or you
just wanna clean piss pots

for the rest of your life?

The wolfsbane
wears off fast.

OK, everybody
just calm down.

Connor, let it go.

No, no, no...

Why am I the jerk, hmm?

We take him out, we treat
him like one of us.

And now I try to help the guy

and I'm the
jackass, yeah?

Last train's
in 10 minutes.

I'm gonna go.

Brynn, it was really
nice meeting you.

Here you go.

It's been 10 months and 2 days
since my last possession. Um...

Today I saw a guy playing
with his stupid dog.

I wanted to remember
that feeling so bad,

I almost jumped in.

And then I remembered
how it wrecked me,

how it almost
destroyed me.

Well, the more I did it,
the more I needed it.

Well, then I
met you guys,

got clean.

Now I know I can make it
to 10 months and 3 days.

- Thanks, Walter.
- Good job.

All right, everyone.
See you next week.

OK, thanks.

I wanted you know

that you are the reason
I started coming here.

I am.

You calling me an "emo" loser

in love with
my own drama,

made me realize
it was time to get help.

I never said that...

out loud.

It was the kick in
the butt that I needed.

Hey, I heard about
a micro-gastronomy place

that opened up near Copley.

If I promise
no death talk,

you want to, uh,
go haunt the kitchen?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Cool.

Come on!

Hi.

Is Tracy here?

No, I'm Darla.

But she said you might
need something.

I can't believe
how good Nick looks.

That whole mopey sheen
was just gone.

It's amazing how
much he's changed.

And can you believe that
I triggered all that?

It's, like, I mean,
if he's really gotten better,

then maybe I will
start dating him again.

Again? Nick never
told me you two dated.

Well, we kind of
just bumped energies

a couple times
in my kitchen.

He never mentioned
that either.

Why would he?

Because we're sort of
seeing each other.

You--you are?

I figured you didn't know.

Why else would you mention
the energy-bumping?

So--

That's, uh...

That's great.
Really good.

- Is it?
- Yeah! Yes!

Yes, so very great.

We think so too.

And none of it would've
happened without you.

You pushing
Dr. Tim so hard

made me ask myself
what I really wanted.

And you wanted Nick.

Ha! Well, that--

I mean, that's good,

because I told you that
we would find somebody.

I was actually talking
about somebody human,

like you,

but those
are details.

I don't know
where it's going.

I mean, where can it go?

I don't know.

But right now

it kind of feels like what they
talk about in junior high,

like a first love,

and... I never got that.

Big A!

Yuck, you look
like I feel.

What happened to your, uh,
quiet night at home?

Turns out psycho-ward werewolf
and his sister like to party.

And this you're
gonna love.

They want to help me
find a cure.

- Bastards.
- No, no, no.

No, you'd turn them down too
if you met them.

They're pretty hateable.

OK.

That's your "judge-y" OK.

Don't. Listen, in my defense,
I would've hated them

just as much before
I was attacked.

Connor's that guy who got the
new car at 16 then crashed it,

so his parents bought him
a better one at 17.

And I'm pretty she had a pony
when she was a little girl

right up until the day
that she ate it!

And she's the
one I like!

Man, they're--they're rich,
they're entitled.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, they do
sound hateable.

Come on.

I need you to finish me off.

Of course.

Why do you think Mother
assigned you as my escort?

Because anyone else
would've thrown you off a roof.

Has it been
that awful?

It's had its perks.

I think Mother knew exactly
what she was doing

when she chose you.

What if we had met
on the street,

just 2 strangers,

instead of you
always telling me no

and me having to
outsmart you?

I expect we would have
liked each other very much,

until I got to know you
and threw you off a roof.

You told me it was time
to make my own decisions.

But you were wrong
about one thing.

I will never be allowed
out of Mother's shadow,

unless I leave,
give up all this.

I never saw
a better option,

until now...

until you.

Suren...

Come on, Aidan.

We didn't meet
as strangers.

Aidan! But?

But how many
people are there

who know what you're
going through and will help?

What would you do?

If accepting their offer
will lead you to a cure,

take it.

Give yourself a break.

We're always saying no

to people like
them, because...

because we're afraid
of becoming them,

but we don't have to.

Saying yes gets
you your life back.

Say yes.

I'm tired of fighting, Suren.

You want to turn this mobster,
let's turn him.

You have a royal
begging you for it.

And you have some stones
listening in on us.

All you had to do was say yes,

and everything would
be different for us.

You're right.
It would've been a disaster.

They're not like us.

The consequences for
their actions roll downhill.

This was our chance!

Anyone who gets
in bed with the royal

may as well stick his
head in a guillotine.

You always said
Suren was different.

Why not try?

You don't think
I've considered it?

Mother would never allow it.

Suren and I would
have to disappear.

Two suitcases, 2 train tickets
and never look back and she--

She's not ready
to give this up.

You wouldn't
have to run.

Stay on Mother's
good side.

We can have
what they have.

And in a thousand
years, we will.

But we could
have it now.

I've seen the way
she looks at you.

Don't tell me
you don't want it.

It?

I'm sorry, Henry.
Don't you mean "her"?

Or maybe...

you were never thinking
about Suren at all.

You looked happy
to see me

and you asked me to go
to a restaurant,

so was I crazy to think
that was a date?

No, I did want
to see you again,

uh, to thank you
for not dating me,

because that's what
led me to Zoe.

What is that
about, really?

And you have,
like, 50 years

before either of you can
get any ghost nookie.

You thought
a lot about this.

Yeah, well somebody should.

Look, Zoe's a really good person

and you're a great guy, Nick,

you really are.

But you're
messed up.

You relive your death
every single day

so that you feel alive.

Mm-hmm.

That's extra points on
the crazy test, Nick.

And Zoe deserves
better than that.

You're right. That's why
I stopped doing it.

What do you mean?

Once I started
hanging out with Zoe,

I don't know, the whole
reliving-my-death thing,

I didn't need it,

so I stopped.

It was that easy?

Yeah.

Well, why didn't you
ever try it with me?

I don't know.

I guess I wasn't ready.

So when it came
down to it,

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

Like I said, it's not
the Manhattan Project, but...

Nope.

What is all
this junk?

It's pretty basic
stuff, actually.

I videotape the turn,
record temperatures,

see what kind of
EKG ratings I can get

before the wolf eats
through the wires.

Well, what exactly are
you looking for?

Whatever makes us
different during the change.

There must be some kind
of mutation I can pinpoint.

OK, so let's say
you had more money,

what would you do first?

I'd start with MRIs,

as close to the
full moon as possible,

and a full blood panel.

If I can find out what the
trigger is that makes us turn

and control it,
I can turn it off

and we can say goodbye
to the pooch for good.

You're saying that this
trigger that you're looking for,

if you can turn it off
then I can turn it on, right?

In theory,
you could. Yeah.

Why, you guys--

You guys want to be
wolves all the time.

This is just a huge
mistake. Get out!

No, no! Get out!

No! Wait.

- Get out! Get out!
- Wait! We can help each other!

By turning you into a monster
every minute of every day?

- No.
- Brynn, let's go.

- Right now.
- Just hold on.

Just forget about
him, all right?

He's just another
small-minded mutt!

All right.
I'll be in the car.

Listen to me.

The wolf is
everything I hate.

I can't just let it
out into the world.

If I felt that way,
I wouldn't either.

But I don't.

Everything I see,
taste, do,

it is all deadened
because of this,

defective eyes,
weak-ass nose,

lousy instincts.

Everything that's special,
everything that I love about me,

I have to push down.

This is the best
version of you.

I don't want it
to go away.

I do.

You feel like a monster
one night a month,

like something's taking
over your body.

Think of how
it is for us.

That feeling of
being trapped,

of knowing that the best part
of you is being held captive

by a monster
that you hate

you feel like that
one day a month.

Connor and I feel
like that the other 29.

Good night, Dr. Forest.

Good night, Paul.

Hey.

Hey, you.

Baby!

So, how are you?

Good.

I promise you,
you won't regret this.

Just sit back.

You won't feel a thing.

You have a legend
for a maker.

Well, I'll be damned.

By the time
you wake up,

yes, you will.

Suren?

You're right. I-I-I don't care
what Mother says.

I just want--

Get out.

We were kind of in
the middle of something.

I gave you everything!

Well, now you don't
have to anymore.

I have her.

I warned you
how this ends.

You made
your choice.

So have I.

Whoa!

Whoa! What's he doing?

He's coming
back to us.

He's right, Aidan.
It's too much.

You're gonna kill him.

I told you
he'd be useful.

This time...

she's mine.

Hi, it's me.
I'm not here.

So leave a message
after the beep.

Hey, Nora. So those twins
I told you about,

I want you to
meet them after all.

Um, I need your take.

I mean, they're weird.

I don't know, there's this
other side to them.

I think deep down,

we all want the same thing.

It should illegal
to be this happy.

Barf.

Let's just not break up
again to get here.

Deal.

You OK?

Perfect.

Mother's going
to be pissed.
