Being Human (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 5 - Addicted to Love - full transcript

Sally gets addicted to possessing a live woman, Josh searches for a cure as Nora explores her connection to her wolf, Aidan is called to task for not yet ridding Boston of the orphan vampires.

Previously on "Being Human".

Who did this to you?

Let's just say I didn't
always go for the nice guy.

- I'm a wolf too.
- We're purebreds, Josh.

You guys wanna be
wolves all the time.

How much are
you around humans?

Never saw a reason to.

I did, and you just
let him walk away.

When you turned me,

you made it seem like
steak dinners and chorus girls.

This is one step up
from a breadline.



We can have what they have.

I heard about your
little orphan problem too.

I need my blood.

Bishop built up his army

and Mother's just
gonna kill us all.

- What's he doing?
- He's coming back to us.

At the end of the day,

all any of us wants
is to feel good.

And whether it's a long,
wet kiss on a dark night

or a needle in the arm,

it'll gnaw at you
until you give in...

Room service.

Come in!

...until you let yourself
feel good again.



You can't be
full already.

And there is nothing else
in the world that feels better

than giving in
to your inner monster.

Hey, who said it was
time to get dressed?

I can't help it.

I just love the way
it feels on my skin.

It's silk chiffon, OK?

And I'm not the one

who has to hand wash
it in the morning, so...

What?

Or I could
just stay naked,

if you like me
better like that.

Meaning measuring neurotransmitters

during each phase
of the moon

and then using that data
to optimize serotonin levels

could help reduce the pain
of the actual change.

It's a start anyway.
Thanks to your generosity.

Connor's always throwing
our money around.

Better you than
champagne rooms.

How?

How exactly do
you plan to

measure neurotransmitters
and optimize serotonin levels?

Because there's one actual
medical professional in the room

and she doesn't remember
volunteering to be a lab rat.

Well, you'd just
pee in a cup.

Well, then I hope my wolf
has some damn good aim.

I share your
frustrations, Nora. I do.

But what Josh really needs
right now is our patience.

I'm sorry, but I met
you all of 3 minutes ago.

You're trying to put an end
to a century's old curse

with a video camera
that you snagged

from our 12-year-old
neighbour's garage sale

and some seed money originally
earmarked for an exotic dancer.

You are a werewolf, Josh.

And you're
kidding yourself.

Nora...

Till next time...

Every monster has their
own version of an addiction.

It's written into our nature.

We need the blood,
the strength, the power.

But the curse of those
of us with darker urges

is that when we let the
cravings inside us take over,

someone else pays the price.

Did you miss it?

Did you miss me?

We don't have to fit
80 years into a week.

We've had enough.
There's work to be done.

Your tolerance isn't
what it used to be.

There's work to be
done there as well.

And when a monster sets
sail for rock bottom,

there's no telling
what destruction

he'll leave in his wake.

Being Human
S02 e05 - Addicted to love

Rough night?

See, it's funny because
you're noncorporeal,

completely unable to
do things like drag race

or take that last
ill-advised J?gerbomb.

I got it. Thanks.

Although, even the very first
J?gerbomb's ill-advised.

Did you know that they're banned
in certain parts of Australia

because of the effect
the stimulant/depressant combo

has on the--

Wow!

It's really that bad?

No, not if you
intend your face

to colour coordinate
with your snugly cardigan.

I wonder what the other
vamps would think about

your intimate knowledge
of women's separates.

So seriously though,
what happened to you?

Nothing.

I just, uh...
I had fun last night.

I thought we were all far
too tortured to have fun.

Yeah, and that's why

I've been experimenting
with people.

Well, not just
people really.

One person. A woman.

Dr. Forest's
girlfriend, Janet.

Oh, Tim Forest
has a girlfriend!

Cindy in peds is
gonna be crushed.

For how long?

You know,
it seems innocent enough.

Dinner and a movie,
maybe a little walk afterwards,

argue over whether
or not 3-D is leadin

to the inevitable downfall
of modern cinema.

- Maybe some fro you.
- We talked about abbreviating.

- Sleeping with him?
- Sleeping with him!

Excuse me! You're using this
poor woman's body to have sex--

With her hot boyfriend

that she already wants
to have sex with.

You know you're an
epic buzz kill, right?

This possession stuff,
it is addictive.

But you know that already.
Look at you.

Really? How's your
track record lately?

Because you sure don't
look hungry anymore.

That's just deflection.

Eat me, Josh!

Eat you or the meat suit
that you're possessing?

It's just sex, OK? Fine.

Yeah, I'll put an end to the
greatest time I ever had.

I'll stay in my own
intangible body.

I'll learn to love
my yoga pants and

try to forget what it
is to sprawl naked

in a bed with
another human being.

Is that what
you wanna hear?

I can't believe
you convinced me

to change my shift.

No earthly man can resist
my powers of persuasion.

Besides, you work too much.

Oh, says the single-minded
career woman.

Well, sure. Sure.

My job is very
important to me.

So important.

All those, um..

work thingies.

Babe, don't take this
the wrong way 'cause,

you and me,
things are great.

Me too... babe.

But lately, you've been,

I don't know,
different somehow.

When I was a kid,

my dad used to take me
to this Firemen's Carnival

with the rides that looked
like they'd collapse

if a bolt came loose.

And I never wanted to leave.

I wanted that feeling to
last for as long as it could.

I feel more myself
in this bed with you

than I have in years.

I mean, um,

not that any of that
actually happened, uh...

It's more like a metaphor.

No, wait, not a metaphor,
like a fable.

No.

I don't know.
I'm not a writer.

Wait, maybe I am a--

Till next time...

You gotta be kidding me.

He doesn't wish
to be disturbed.

My maker!

This is...

Well, to be honest, the best
I could locate in a pinch.

Introductions were brief
and altogether nameless.

Suren is a royal,

a very high-strung,
very possessive royal!

I'm well aware of her
delicate disposition.

Why would you
be so foolish?

When you made me,

you never warned me how
much I'd enjoy myself.

Let's hope that your
ststupidity is due to your yout.

But Suren was made
almost 700 years ago.

She may seem like
a Vanderbilt to you,

but she has
the blood of warriors.

So do I.

I was doing us a favour.

They need to know,
Mother and the rest,

that we're not so
far from them.

That's how you prove it?

By making with
every dame you see?

Is this about me
or your own regret?

It's because of Suren

that I spared you.

See to it that
she doesn't regret it.

We need to sit down
with Cecilia.

Bishop's old guard
is giving her a hard time.

What a bore.

I've been gone for
most of the century

and men are still pissing
all over everything.

How are you
still speaking?

I'm twice your size.

The amount that
we've had to drink...

I'm more than
twice your age, pet.

I'll talk to
Cecilia tomorrow.

But now...

No, wait, wait, wait.

Is that why cleanups
were backed up last week?

I'm taking care of it.

When? We haven't
left this hotel.

Women know how
to multitask.

Is that the alarm?

This had better be good.

Mother...

Henry, we have to leave--

You're looking fresh.

A happy side effect of
ignoring your responsibilities?

Word didn't reach you
at the lake house?

We've been quite busy.

Yes.

The hotel is thriving.

People from Iowa seem
to love a checkered past.

The police force
is in check.

So the spike
in murder is dense.

We're handling it.

Of course.

Tell me, was my command

that the illegitimates
be culled in some way unclear?

They've gone into hiding.

Drawing them out
has been impossible.

Perhaps if you prioritized
business over pleasure.

Leave us.

My daughter and I are overdue
for a heart to heart.

Your release
was a gift, Suren.

An unearned privilege.

My release was a test.

Sending Aidan,
bringing me back here.

A daughter of mine
should know how to rule,

whatever the circumstances.

Because you clawed
your way up from nothing.

Yes, I know.

Mother Builds an Empire was
your favourite bedtime story.

What did you think I
was doing all that time

in that cold
black nothing?

Humming Cole Porter
to myself?

I know what I'm doing.

I could've spun
this town into gold

and you would've
still found fault.

If we are
pretending to care

about Bishop's
pathetic orphans, fine!

They're organizing!

Thanks to you, they've had
time to learn how to survive

and to fight.

But it seems you're traipsing
down Aidan's path of mercy.

What a pleasure to watch a man
twist your mind... again.

I didn't choose
who dug me up. You did!

Josh!

I'm stuck.

Sure you are, ma'am.
I'll just page psych.

Josh, it's me, Sally!

You're Josh Levinson

and your favourite TOS
movie is Search for Spock,

but you tell people it's
Wrath of Khan to save face.

I'm Sally Malick and I need
to get out of this body.

I must have done it too much
or stayed in too long.

And I was so weak going into it.
And it's harder to get out!

And I just-- I came here
looking for Zoe and then she...

Wow! You are, like,
completely hairless.

No, I'm not!

You promised
you would stop.

I lied, OK? I lied.
I really like him, Josh.

Who? Dr. Forest?

He's-- Sally, he's on
an amateur jai-alai team.

He's from Connecticut.

Yes, and he's human!

And he thinks
your name is...

Janet.
Janet!

Are you listening
to yourself?

Or are auditory challenges
part of the pleasure

that comes with
wearing Janet's head?

Maybe it has
something to do

with the whole first intimate
connection with a person

since my untimely death.

Maybe that's clouded
my judgment a little bit.

No, no.

You've lost
all judgment, Sally.

You're addicted to it.

So what now?

So now you just possess
this poor woman forever?

Janet?

Hey! What are
you doing here?

Uh...

- Have we met?
- Us? No.

Well, I usually
clean up the floor

after you're done spilling
all the blood all over it.

So, no, I don't
think we've actually...

Not that your surgeries
are unusually bloody.

It's just that's what
happens here in the hospital.

I was just...

I was asking this guy
where your office was.

You know I don't
have an office.

Aren't you meeting my mom
back at my place?

I have that surgery now.

Sure! Your mother.

Yeah! Yeah, sure!
Of course.

I've got a little
bit of time.

How about I walk you
back to the apartment?

- OK.
- OK.

Janet?

Yeah! Coming!

Bye.

I'm sorry, but I'm
awfully busy curing people

using scientific
nonhypothetical procedures.

I understand your skepticism,
Nora. It's just that--

I don't think we
understand each other at all.

Josh told me everything.

Mm-hmm.

I'm a mutt.
You're a purebred.

So while my lowest
of werewolf social orders

forces me to hold down
an actual job

and save my OT
for a bubble bath,

you spend your days living
it up at Wolf Castle,

or whatever it is you do.

We're all more alike
than you think.

And Brynn and I
just wanna help.

But Josh doesn't
wanna be a wolf.

He wants to be normal,
more than anything.

And I don't like you
taking advantage of him.

Nora, that is not
what you're afraid of.

You're afraid that if
Josh does find the cure...

...he'll make you
take it too.

Look, I hate to say it,

but it'll be better
without my father around.

- Because he's, um...
- On that golf retreat.

Relax. That was the whole
point of you meeting Mom here.

So that we could be casual
and put last time behind us.

No...

She's my mother.

Stay away from me.

What?

Stay away.

I said stay the
hell away from me!

- Janet!
- Ah!

Janet, are you OK?

I think so.

What the hell
just happened?

I don't know.

Will?

Hey.

I'm sorry to just show up
like this at your work.

Yeah, no, you--you
can't just show up here.

I saw you the
other day on Salem,

near the hardware store.

Then again last night.

I was coming out of the bar
with Dean and Suzie...

How are they?

Fine. They're good.

Actually, I thought
you saw me too.

No.

Look, it's...
It's fine.

I get it.

I guess I wouldn't
talk to me either.

It's just seeing you...

Look, I just need you to
know that I'm sorry, OK?

I've changed.

No, Will. No.

We can't do this.

Nora?

Josh...

This is Will,

my ex.

How could you even let him
near you after what he did?

Because maybe I don't wanna
feel like that all the time.

Feel what? Justifiably
threatened, scared?

I'm done
talking about this.

The guy goes hat in hand for
one 2-minute conversation

and you've forgiven him for
landing you in a hospital bed?

Listen to yourself.
Listen to me?

You're supposed to be
the nice-guy alternative?

You know what? Let's
not do this right now.

Tonight's the full moon.
We're both on edge.

You're right.

A waning moon will
definitely make your reunion

with your psycho ex-boyfriend
a lot more palatable to me.

We're angry too, Josh.
He hurt one of our own.

Nora is not yours.

You know, he's right.

Avenging Nora is
Josh's responsibility.

The dude's a
contractor, right?

It won't take
much to find him.

I'm not like
the two of you.

But you've seen
him now, Josh.

All right? This Will.

And every night that
you lie with her in bed

and your hand brushes against
the spot where he marked her,

he'll haunt you.

So, no, maybe
I'm not like you,

except if Nora was mine,
I couldn't live with that.

Hey. Josh, right?

What are you--

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey! Nora used to bend
a little more blue-collar.

Must be working her way up
the only way she knows how.

Say something
else about her.

I'm begging you.

Stop, please!

No, no, no.
I'm sorry!

I just wanted to talk to her.

Josh! Oh my God!

Oh my God!

Are you OK?

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

Get out of here!

God!

Are you OK?

OK...

No, not again.
Absolutely not!

You... Do you know me?

Did you have a
pleasant family visit?

Or did you manage
to single-handedly

ruin a woman's life
as predicted?

I've been here before.

Miss, can we help you?

Oh, no, no, see,
Sally here got stuck

in her little
fleshy pleasure sack,

and now she wants us
to clean up her mess.

Oh crap!

This house...

I see it in my dreams.

I know something's
coming for me.

Something dark.

And it all started here.

You know what?

It's entirely
possible that you

got our address inverted,
3836 instead of 3638.

Because it happens all the time.
We order a ton of pizza.

- I need your help!
- Best of luck to you!

I did that, didn't I?

Leave it alone.

She knows the house!

She knows about the--

It's like Janet
was in my head.

I gave her back her body
and I left a piece of my spirit.

I have to help her. I have
to tell her what happened.

- You gotta stay away from her!
- You should go and make it right.

Excuse me?

"Be careful, Sally,

"possession is addictive"?

No, we can't just
do whatever we want

because it
feels good, OK?

I won't possess her!
I'm gonna talk to her.

I fail to see
how that can happen

unless your powers
have suddenly progressed

beyond pushing paperclips--

Josh!
What?

It's not up to you
to tell her when to stop.

Will's gonna be fine.
The doctor released him.

That's a good thing, Josh!

He's also refusing
to press charges.

So you've managed
to avoid jail time,

in spite of your
best efforts.

I'm not going down this
road with a guy again.

Do you still have
feelings for him?

Feelings?

When Will hurt me,

after I checked out
of the hospital,

I never went back.

I left my home,
my friends,

everything I owned.

There was nothing worth having
to see his face ever again.

No matter what he says...

no matter how much he
thinks he's changed...

I'll never forget what it
felt like to be that helpless.

Josh...

Wolf or no wolf,
that guy,

the one who has
a few too many

and flattens a bar
full of people

because somebody
makes eyes at his lady,

that's not who you are.

And I love you.

So it's not who you
have to be either.

I have to go
back inside.

But I'll see you
at the storage space?

Yeah.

OK.

Hey.

I love you too.

She's gone.

If that twit mobster figured out
where the orphans are hiding,

I know you can too.

You can't let her
do this to you.

Do you even remember what
it's like to have a mother?

Then don't tell me
how to deal with mine.

Culling those vampires and
restoring order is our duty.

This town has potential.

I won't let it be ruined by
Bishop's delusional urchins,

regardless of Mother
and her eternal checklist.

It's what I wanted
from the beginning.

Refuse me again
and this is over,

all of it.

Do you not want
to be free?

You know it's messier
than that now.

I do.

She'll send me to
ground again, Aidan.

She will.

Maybe never dig me up.

Help me.

I...

I know where one
of their nests is.

I knew all along.

There he is.

All the humans thinking
we're just like them.

And all the vampires

wishing they were
just like us.

You'd be wise to make
this a night to remember.

It will be your
last in Boston.

Mother, why?

I've had my fill
of the city.

And you've gained more
than enough experience here.

Then I'll stay behind.

It's time I was
out on my own.

I often wonder if it
will ever be time, child.

But no worry.

There will be other towns,
other Henrys.

And someday, maybe one of them
will even be appropriate.

Henry, we have to leave--

Out.

Who is she?

No one, darling.

Just something
that caught my eye.

I was planning to feed.
I was hoping you'd join me.

No, I don't
believe you.

How many women?

You're being ridiculous.
Aidan, please.

Tell Suren she's
the only one I want.

Aidan, tell her she's
acting like a child.

Aidan, wait.

I warned you.

To protect me?

Please, you've been dizzy
on her for months.

You never come
back here again.

Leave, Henry!

You've exposed us all.

Leaving us no choice.

Strike up the band.

Lock the doors.

No!

Your weakness has just
banished us back to the shadows.

Let me go!

No! Let me go!

And you shall be punished.

I will never
forgive you for this!

Perhaps a century to
consider your failings

will change your mind.

NO!

Mother, please don't!
Please don't ground me!

No! Mother!

Janet... I'm so sorry.

I wish that
you could hear me

so that you'd know
this is all my fault.

That you're not...

crazy.

Reaper...

Nora...

Shouldn't you be
picking off Bambi

in some faraway
enchanted forest?

I've been thinking about
you today. Just wait.

The moon's almost up.
Make it fast.

Connor and I,
our parents,

they taught us all about what
it means to be who we are...

to be grateful
for our strength.

I was raised with the
wisdom of generations.

And it devastates me to think
that any wolf, that you...

could be robbed of
that kind of acceptance.

I know what's happening
to you, Nora.

I can see the questions
all over your face.

And I think I
can answer them.

It started out
as a curiosity.

I wondered what he
looked like now.

Then I drove out
to the house, parked.

But a couple of
nights later, I...

I got out.

I went to the window
and I just watched him.

Hello!

Is anyone here?

Now it happens
almost every night.

I watch him.

And it takes
everything I have

to stay outside that window.

And I...

I fantasize.

Whatever this thing is,
this urge,

I've never felt
anything so strong.

It's inside of me.

And I--I know
that it's my wolf.

She's clawing
at the surface.

But you keep
pushing her down.

Are she and I the same?

Abused?

I need to know

because I have to
understand what she wants.

I have to understand
why I've been...

I've been counting the days
until a full moon...

until tonight.

Oh my God!

She knows.

She just wants
to run free.

How else will the two
of you ever become one?

Oh my God!

No!

This funeral home
was the only hope

many of them knew
after Bishop turned them.

They were here.

Recently.

I'll check
the other rooms.

They got word
you were coming.

Can you blame them?

Running in fear of
the great warrior.

Hello, Aidan.

Henry?

It's been 80 years.

You've been living
with the orphans?

I am an orphan.

A lifetime older,
but exiled all the same.

You survived!

Aidan...

She can't see you.

Aidan?

Nothing.

Aidan, what is it?

You will never
come back here again.

Mother, please don't!
Please don't ground me!

No! Mother!

Nothing.

We'll just have
to keep looking.

Nora...
