Being Human (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 6 - Mama Said There'd Be Decades Like These - full transcript
Previously...
Cecilia, this is Aidan.
- I'm a cop.
- You turned her?
You don't know
anything about her.
When you turned me,
you made it sound like
steak dinners and chorus girls.
All you had to do
was say yes and
everything would be different.
I gave you everything.
You never come back here again.
It's been 80 years.
Henry?
You guys wanna be
wolves all the time!
Josh, this is Will, my ex.
It happens almost
every night. I watch him.
Is anyone here?
She's clawing at the surface.
- Oh my god!
- I know that it's my wolf.
No! Aaah!
She just wants to run free.
I've never felt
anything so strong,
But I can't control it.
♪ I was restless ♪
♪ I was young... ♪
One of the worst parts of dying
was that split-second
when it hit me...
"Mom and Dad aren't
gonna save me from this."
I closed my eyes,
hoping that it was a bad dream,
that Mom would wake me up.
But instead
I woke up into this.
♪ Into a light... ♪
Aidan? Slummin' it
with us orphans?
I need you to get a message out
before you're too drunk.
Yeah, I'm listening.
I'm looking for Henry.
Henry knows better
than to be here.
I know, I know.
Just get the word out.
♪ Sit in chairs... ♪
And shut this damn thing
down by morning.
You don't realize
until it's too late
what your parents did to
protect you from the truth.
Hi, it's me. Not here.
Leave a message after the beep.
Hey, it's, um...
Nora, it's me.
I got your message.
I wish I could say
I understand why you left.
But I know you don't
wanna talk right now,
so I'm talking...
to your voicemail.
Our parents read us fairy tales
thinking they'll never have
to explain that
they aren't real...
thinking they'll be dead
and gone before reality hits.
But blood is forever.
20, 30, 300 years
down the line...
Sally's mom.
...we still need a hand
to reach for in the dark.
♪ Here to stay ♪
- When was the last time
you saw your mom? - Awake?
No, but I mean,
when was the last time
you actually talked to her?
Do you think she's gonna die?
What's the right answer here?
Sorry, sir, I'm just gonna
take the sheets, if that's OK.
Mom?
Is she--
You need to get somebody
to change her clothes.
She wouldn't want to be stuck
in a hospital gown for all...
this.
Hey, Dad.
You have to help him.
He obviously hasn't eaten.
He's gonna get sick.
You have to get him something.
- What?
- Get him some--some--
I don't know, some pudding.
Pudding? Sally, he'll
think I'm a crazy person.
Did you need something?
No, I...
Do you need something?
You can't ask him.
He's just gonna say no.
Just get him some pudding.
Butterscotch.
Sorry, sir.
No, no!
Chocolate, chocolate!
OK, then.
Rena?
I thought we'd all be so much
older when this happened.
Sometimes it's just
a pudding day, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
Josh Levinson, right?
Wow, two for two.
Do we know each other?
I'm Det. Sherwood,
this is Det. Raimes.
Boston PD.
You have a minute?
Yeah, I just
bought some pudding.
It's--it's room temp,
so it should be fine.
Hello.
Should we walk?
Yeah, uh, do we have a mission
statement for this walk?
Your name came up during
the course of an investigation
and we're just here
to clear the site.
What kind of an investigation?
Do you remember where
you were on the 26th, Josh?
OK, I'm sorry.
I really need to know
what's going on.
Were you with Nora?
- What?
- Nora Sergeant.
Your girlfriend.
A man named William Cart
was found dead
and mutilated at
his worksite last week,
and he's an ex of
your girlfriend's.
Josh, what are you--
See, I--I didn't...
Not have a
conversation with him
at this hospital
the day he died?
I wouldn't call it
a conversation.
Right. You knew the history
between Will and Nora, right?
- History? As in...
- Restraining order.
Burns on her stomach.
Don't even pretend you
didn't know about that.
Where's Nora, Josh?
I don't know.
That is God's honest
truth. I don't know.
Right.
Think about it,
then give us a call.
Pudding here is the bomb.
Remember that lake we used
to drive up to in Maine?
Mom hated the bugs
and you lit all those
citronella candles
and tried to make it romantic,
till Robbie knocked one over
and set fire to the campsite
and that ranger kicked us out.
The car ride home
was the best part.
We drove all night,
Mom singing,
you drumming at the wheel.
It felt like home in that car.
You made her happy, Dad.
She had a good life.
And that makes things
better on the other side,
trust me.
Mr. Malik.
- Mom?
- Sally?
Ah!
How is this possible?
We're ghosts, Mom.
I've missed you so much.
Your rainy-day sweater.
You always said
it made you feel safe.
Yeah, well, it didn't
exactly protect me.
You look great, Mom.
I told Josh that you'd be happy
that they changed your clothes.
You told who?
Oh yeah, well,
it's a long story.
Well, we have time now, right?
Oh, I haven't moved in months!
You know, really moved.
Can we-- can we
get out of here?
- Whoa, wait! What about Dad?
- What?
We should go.
We should check on Dad,
make sure he's OK, even
though he can't see us.
Uh, of course.
Of course.
So you're saying I can't
change out of these pants?
'Cause I really saw
myself in a dress.
You know, that red one?
Just pace yourself, Mom.
Eternity.
♪ This could be
the end of the line ♪
♪ In the blink of an eye ♪
♪ This could be
the end of the line ♪
You're not going
to stop now, are you,
after you're starting
to be fun again?
You are so
blood-drunk right now,
you probably don't even
think I'm really here.
Come on, Aidan.
Remember Antietam?
We fed like fiends.
Come on, you remember.
You had visions
then too. Your wife?
Brynne, we have a guest.
Where's Nora?
Where is she?
Please be cool.
OK, yeah. Sure.
The, um, the cops cornered me
at my place of work today.
How 'bout you guys?
Did they get you?
Oh, that's right!
You don't work, you skulk.
Where is she?
I see you heard
about Will, then?
You wanna pitch in
on some flowers?
Something simple, yet elegant.
I know you had something
to do with this, damn it!
Of course, we did.
The 3 of us.
No, she wouldn't.
She wouldn't?
Do you even know the woman
you're supposedly in love with?
He burned her!
And that's just
the scar that stuck.
Who knows what
else he did to her.
- He deserved to die.
- Like that?
The man who sent your
girlfriend to the hospital
deserves to die
playing shuffleboard?
I--I just think--
That's just it!
All right? You think!
We act.
We're a pack.
There was a threat, and look
at that, it's been resolved.
It's being investigated!
Trust me.
The way he looked,
no human did that to him.
We took care of her,
in ways that...
...you clearly can't.
This is insane.
Huh! OK.
Guys, I--I don't know
what you're saying to her,
but she won't
return my phone calls.
I just need to see her.
She needs to be
alone right now.
Really?
She doesn't need her pack?
I'm really sorry
you're acting this way.
I only have to hope
that you'll come around.
Or what? You'll viciously
maul me in my sleep?
Come on, now.
We're all wolves here.
We'll give you a chance to run.
He's joking.
So, I see you're
drinking again.
And boffing the princess.
No, you know, you leave
her out of this.
Mr. Holier-Than-Thou
turned out to be
the most ruthless one
of us all, didn't he?
You have no idea what
you're even talking about.
Really?
I have a severed head
that says different.
Aidan, you killed me.
You're probably
gonna kill Henry.
You'll cut yourself
a path straight to
the castle's front door.
Whatever it takes to rule
side by side with Suren.
It's not who I am.
It's not what I want.
Yeah, I think it is.
Maybe you'll kill her too.
Let's, you and me,
make no mistake.
You want it more
than I ever did.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
I am not here to criticize.
I salute you, my son.
You're a lot closer
than I ever was.
OK, first order of business.
Kill Henry.
I can't. I--I--I don't
know where he is.
I--I--
Aidan?
You wanna knock back
a few pints of live
to get your
strength up, I get it.
But you're his maker.
You know.
So, shirt, cool leather jacket.
Come on,
let's stake this bitch.
The horse?
Yes.
It looked just like that.
- No kidding?
- Yes.
Hey, doughboys!
Bishop.
Look at you. Yes!
Yankee Doodle do or die.
James Bishop, might I present
Private Henry Durham, US Army,
the finest medic
who ever lived?
- Or died.
- Shhh!
And then was born again.
Thanks to your progeny here
and of course, to you.
Yes, uh, Aidan told me quite
a bit about you in his letters.
You wrote about me, did you?
We never take a turn lightly.
Yeah, you should
certainly make sure
you're choosing wisely.
I'll just go say
goodbye to the fellas.
Well, at least you hate him.
No. No, I like him.
It's just, um, how
does that saying go?
"We choose in our children what
we think we see in ourselves."
And Henry has a touch of
the rebellious in him,
wouldn't you say?
No, Bishop. He practically
bent over backwards
to kiss your rings.
He's a company man.
Trust me.
As were you.
But I don't wanna ruin
the discoveries of
fatherhood for you.
Let's get a drink.
I know a place.
Well, this brings us back.
What exactly do you think
it is you're gonna find here?
He showed himself
the other night.
He could've ran.
We used to come here
back in the day to feed.
They came in droves
from the mountains,
the farms, the hollows,
with nothing but the shirts
on their backs and hope.
God, we had a time.
Look at you, Aidan,
clinging to what?
A memory, a moment in time,
trying to find some beauty that
is the wreckage of your son.
- You found it in me.
- Because you were worth it.
He's a good man.
Who stabbed you in the back
to sleep with Suren,
drove her to ground, drove
all of us into the shadows.
You have got to kill him.
He was young.
How many times did you
take a bullet for me?
It's not just anybody
he's organizing.
- That's my army.
- That's it, isn't it?
Organized, you got a problem.
- This is your freedom.
- Oh my--
What if the only thing
that stands between
you and it is Henry.
Now you want me to be free?
You spent centuries chasing
me around with a butterfly net.
Let's get something
else to eat.
I know these things
are never easy.
Drink up. It's best if these
things happen in a blur.
Kids.
Am I right?
Thank you so much.
Uh-uh.
Mom?
Mr. Patterson?
Sally?
Wow, you're--
you're all grown up!
I'm dead, Mr. Patterson.
It's OK, Sally.
Mom, get out of him!
It's your funeral.
Hey.
You've done some
work on the place.
Hey.
- You OK?
- Never better.
Is that a cat
wearing a catcher's mask?
- That's cute.
- Where were you last night?
Aidan, you're cute.
Just waiting on a friend.
You don't have any friends.
I mean, like--like fantasy
football or poker buddies.
You don't have, like,
guys like that.
So what friend?
- Is it Princess Suren?
- It was an old friend.
Oh my god! Is your wife
always this much of a nag?
I'm old, Josh.
OK.
Well, now that
you're here, listen.
That cop you turned--
I didn't turn--
Turning cops now?
No, I didn't turn her.
OK, well, I need her.
And what business do
you have with the police?
Can we be real just
for, like, a minute
and not pretend she's
just the police, Aidan?
The cops are after Nora,
and I need your
vampire cop, Cecilia,
to help make all this go away
in the way that you do.
Really?
You know I don't like
asking you for this, but...
Nora killed her
ex-boyfriend.
Oh my god!
Not her, but her wolf.
And still, not really her.
I mean, it was
the, uh, purebreds.
Josh, really--
Aidan, listen.
I know you've done this
a thousand times.
You can't make this one thing
go away just for me?
Oh, I can think
an easy way to make this...
- Please.
- ...go away.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's do that. I will appeal to
the newly turned vampire cop.
I'll say, "Cecilia, my friend
Josh-- Oh, maybe you know him!
"He's the werewolf who wanted
to take down Bishop."
We know how that turned out!
Well, his girlfriend, oops!
She killed Hegeman,
so there's that.
- OK, this is...
- She also kind of mauled her--
- It wasn't just her, Aidan!
- That's right, the purebreds!
We gotta tell everyone
about the purebreds!
So, kind of brutally
murdered her ex-boyfriend.
So if you could just sweep
all this under the rug,
that would be great.
This is cute what you're doing.
THAT'S BECAUSE
I'M CUTE!
Look, I'm just--
All I'm saying, Josh,
is that, uh, this
isn't who you are.
Well, thank you
for thinking that.
But sadly, I think
it's exactly who I am.
I'm the guy with
an antique rifle
loaded with silver, werewolf-
killing bullets under my bed.
- You have Hegeman's rifle?
- Yeah.
Oh!
And they will find
all of this and more
when they come after me
with their questions
and their evidence.
Where was I on the
night of the 26th?
Well, I was turning into
a werewolf in my storage unit.
Here's the key and here's
a videotape of the whole thing!
How else may I be of service?
You really need
to kill this guy.
Great. So I'll just
see you at work,
barring my imminent arrest.
Oh! And oh yeah,
Sally's mom died.
But Sally's great.
She's great.
I don't understand.
Mr. Patterson died
when I was 10.
What, did you, like,
have a pact or something?
We never dreamed
it would actually happen.
Mom, are you aware of
where you are right now?
Your husband is mourning
you, 10 feet away.
Sally, life is long.
Um, not really, Mom.
I know this is heavy, Sally,
I mean, your mom and me, death.
Yeah, Gerry, it's, like,
really far out there.
You were my neighbour.
You helped my dad
build my tree house.
When you and my mom
were making iced tea,
I had no idea that
you were-- Ugh!
If I could puke right now,
I would, I swear to God.
Take a deep breath, Sally.
We're beyond it.
We beyond all of it,
you know, our earthly ties,
the restrictions of the flesh.
Now I know why you sat in the
dark for a week when Gerry died.
So you understand,
right? It was real?
No, Mom. I actually don't
understand anything right now.
Honey, I just died.
Can we take a moment before
we get into all of this?
Mom, I was more than willing
to take many moments with you.
Do you have any idea
how much I missed you?
And then the first
free second you have,
you're grinding on some
gravestone with Gerry?
Tell you what.
I would love to see your place,
you know, curl up,
have some girl time.
God! Mom, that was so
awkward when I was 13 too.
OK.
So? Should we go
check out the wake?
Cecilia, right?
Do I know you?
I think you do, yeah.
Can I help you?
You're investigating
a girl named Nora Sergeant.
I'd like you to stop.
I don't even know
what you're talking about.
- Aidan didn't--
- Aidan?
Nora hasn't done
anything wrong.
I know that, Aidan knows that,
and I'm sure he's getting
around to telling you that.
You're not doing him any favors
asking me to pull
strings for a werewolf.
Wait!
I may be new,
but I'm not stupid.
But I--
I know about--
What if I can get you 2 wolves?
My building doesn't allow dogs.
Purebreds.
You said yourself, you're new.
Wouldn't this be
some kind of prize?
Especially if--
If you knew they were the
wolves that killed Hegeman?
You know who he was, right?
Nora who?
Sergeant.
She's like you?
That's funny.
This case wasn't
even on my radar.
But now I'll be sure to
give it my full attention.
Thanks so much.
Oh, hey!
You came.
Huh? Oh yeah.
Oh my god!
I have so many questions
to ask your mom about you.
What's up with you?
What's up with you?
Why would a ghost
ring a doorbell?
To instil a sense
of occasion? I don't know.
My mom's brand new.
She has no skills.
Stop.
Josh, you think
you could get it?
Sure, why don't I get it?
Thank you.
Uh, oh!
Oh, and don't mention anything
about being a werewolf.
Right, 'cause I
usually lead with that.
What's up with him?
Look, um, Mom didn't come
over much when Danny was around.
And it's been years
since we were able
to sit down and just be us.
I want that.
I miss that.
OK.
OK, that is, um...
Like someone threw up in a
coffee cup and microwaved it?
Come on in.
So, these are your friends?
Otherwise totally
normal friends
that can see dead people.
You're not a vampire?
Yes.
I'm gonna go check on
the, uh, on the lasagne.
Gerry is so knowledgeable
about the beyond.
Why am I yet again cooking
dinner for people who don't eat?
- Stay there!
- Murderer!
- Stay there!
- Turn around!
You didn't think we'd find it?
Find what?
Your stack of dead!
I don't have a stack of dead!
Stop lying!
- No, please, please, don't!
- Hey.
Are you coming?
Are you crying?
It was a hot oven...
I'm gonna go ahead and dial back
the crazy a little bit
and just serve myself if
that's cool with--with you guys.
The place looks great, honey.
We burned it.
That helped.
Well, Danny always
stifled your aesthetic.
Yeah. I mean, it rocks that
you're free of him, Sally.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's funny how things
were with Danny, huh?
I wasn't happy,
but I stayed for years,
lying to myself, to my family.
Sally, you don't--
You don't wanna--
- But I do. Was there something
about Dad that I'm missing?
Was he verbally or
physically abusing you
while he wasn't
rubbing your feet
or leaving you poems
on the kitchen counter?
You're making that up.
- I'm not!
- One poem!
Would two have stopped you
from boffing the neighbour?
I don't expect you
to understand.
Oh good!
- She's still young.
- I know.
It hasn't occurred
to you that your parents
could be individuals,
have a life of their own?
No, I get that, Mom.
I really do.
Having your own life,
that's fine.
Having an extramarital affair
that leaks into your death,
that's not fine.
I died and you didn't
even know how!
For so long, I've been
waiting for you to hold me,
for you to tell me what to do.
And you've just
been waiting for him.
Sally, I love you.
I loved your father, but...
Yes! Yes, I have a vital
relationship with Gerry
that I have had to mourn
in silence for over a decade
and that is what I want to spend
the rest of my time exploring.
Wow.
OK.
I appreciate the
honesty, I guess.
- I'll get it.
- I got it.
- Don't get it!
- I got it.
You better not invite them in!
Because of the vampires.
'Cause the vampires.
'Cause if you invite them in,
then they might
p-p-potentially kill us all,
or just me, 'cause I'm
the only one still--
I'm gonna go!
I'm--I'm gonna let myself out.
Uh, Gerry, Rena, it was...
I'd ask to come in,
but the last time I tread
on your territory,
things didn't go so well.
Can we talk?
Josh?
Mind if we have
a look at those?
I moved around a lot.
Pacific Northwest mostly.
Easy to disappear there.
And you?
Eating's been good, I see.
Why did you come back, Henry?
I'd heard you killed Bishop.
I heard you were supposed
to be running Boston.
I came to support you.
Oh, and instead, you've
fallen in with the orphans.
I haven't fallen in with them.
I taught them a few things.
Survival.
Blood dedens in plain sight.
A fighting chance.
Bishop, you, left
them with nothing.
No tools.
I've been out there
for 80 years.
I couldn't just sit
back and watch them die.
I want back in
the family, Aidan.
I didn't come back for her,
if that's what you're scared of.
Aidan, I'm tired of hiding.
Can you, with any honesty,
tell me you're the same
vampire I left 80 years ago?
Can you tell me Suren's the same
vampire who exposed us all?
With any God-given grace,
time heals,
time matures.
I think it was you
who tried to teach me that.
Funny. Most people who
rent places like this,
they fill them with boxes,
bowling trophies.
Not too many people have
video cameras and cages.
So you can see how this
isn't looking good for you.
How did you guys
even know to look here?
We followed you, genius.
We thought you'd lead us
to your girlfriend, but...
How did these get here?
Yeah, I know...
Those were here when
I rented the place.
It's weird.
We can always ask
the rental manager,
see if he's seen or
heard anything strange.
Looks like the ones
at the scene, right?
Cages, video cameras
claw marks on the walls.
We're cuffing this guy, right?
This young man
is a sick bastard,
but he's not our guy.
No. No, he's
definitely not our guy.
Hold up, hold up,
hold up! W-w-what?
We're gonna forget his
dopy little face after this.
I'll be holding on
to that tape.
Yes, ma'am.
This is where you thank me.
Yes, well, I'm not exactly
sure of our arrangement yet.
Well, I thought you were
making the purebred thing up.
Well, you're new.
You really wanna
be a smart-ass now?
No. No, ma'am.
Bring them to me.
I can't be any more involved.
Whatever set up you've got here
and the one next door
for your girlfriend,
I'm guessing you're already
pretty damn involved.
I want the purebreds.
So, babe, I'm gonna go.
It's OK.
You two need to be alone
together without me.
I'll see you back at the place?
Please tell me the place
isn't the cemetery,
'cause that's gross and weird.
No, it's this tree
we used to go to--
OK!
OK.
I wanted to come here alone,
you know, walk in
the door, hug you,
talk about the wallpaper.
But we're dead.
And the way
you died is--
You'll never understand this
because you'll never
have a daughter.
For that, I am so sorry.
But for me, to see you here...
my amazing daughter...
still in this house
where you were with him,
I mean, living, dying,
to see this is my idea of hell.
So what? It's just--
It's easier with Gerry?
I failed you even
when you were alive.
How can I help you now?
Can't you try?
How much time do we have?
No offense, Mom, but if
someone in your situation
were to get her door right now,
I am done with this dimension.
I haven't taken an easy
breath for most of a century.
How can I come back?
Henry, I told you before.
There is no coming back.
You can't mean that.
Not aft--
You killed your maker.
You flouted the very principals
you're now standing on.
It was never about principals.
It was about love, you ant.
I have to ask you something.
I've heard things.
You and Suren--
Henry, choose
your words carefully.
After all the warnings you
gave me to stay away from her,
really?
Are you just going
to stand there
and listen to him talk
about your woman that way?
Your woman!
Oh, Aidan, grow a pair.
Then you're truly
in love with her.
I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe.
Then where does that leave me?
Dead.
You think he's going
to choose his wayward son
over the royal you scorned?
My blood, my name will be
on that throne of power.
And I'll use your head
for a footstool.
Take him, Aidan.
Do it.
- Aidan.
- Destroy him!
I said where
does that leave me?
That's what I'm trying
to figure out.
Really?
'Cause I think I know.
Aidan!
I've wasted 80 years,

Maybe it'll be a relief.
Do it, Aidan. Do it.
You're a killer, man.
You always have been.
Embrace it.
This is freedom.
This is power.
All these years,
wondering if you
were dead or alive,
wishing that I'd killed you!
And then missing you.
I can't do this anymore.
What, then, do you suggest?
If it's the shadows again,
kill me now.
No, I'm gonna find a way
to make this right for you.
That's what you said
to our brethren too,
the orphans.
They weren't mine to save.
You are.
I hope you give me
reason to believe you.
I just couldn't do it.
Course you couldn't.
Where's your mom?
Comingling in some tree.
Thank you for cooking the
most awkward meal of all time.
I pretty much have
the market cornered on that.
When I was a kid, I kind of
just thought my parents were--
I don't know, waiting
around, doing nothing
until I came back in the room.
That's what Aidan and I do.
She had a life.
And I'm sitting here
judging her for it.
I'm never gonna
know what it's like
to want to protect
my child and fail.
I don't think it has
to be your child.

someone, anyone, that much,
you can surprise yourself

You don't know
anything about her.
When you turned me,
you made it sound like

All you had to do
was say yes and
everything would be different.
I gave you everything.
You never come back here again.

Josh, this is Will, my ex.
It happens almost

Is anyone here?
She's clawing at the surface.

No! Aaah!

Sorry, sir, I'm just gonna
take the sheets, if that's OK.
Mom?
Is she--
You need to get somebody
to change her clothes.
She wouldn't want to be stuck

Hey, Dad.
You have to help him.
He obviously hasn't eaten.
He's gonna get sick.
You have to get him something.

Pudding? Sally, he'll

Did you need something?
No, I...

Hello.
Should we walk?
Yeah, uh, do we have a mission
statement for this walk?
Your name came up during
the course of an investigation
and we're just here
to clear the site.
What kind of an investigation?
Do you remember where
you were on the 26th, Josh?
OK, I'm sorry.
I really need to know
what's going on.
Were you with Nora?
- What?
- Nora Sergeant.
Your girlfriend.
A man named William Cart
was found dead
and mutilated at
his worksite last week,
and he's an ex of
your girlfriend's.
Josh, what are you--
See, I--I didn't...
Not have a
conversation with him
at this hospital
the day he died?
I wouldn't call it
a conversation.
Right. You knew the history
between Will and Nora, right?
- History? As in...
- Restraining order.
Burns on her stomach.
Don't even pretend you
didn't know about that.
Where's Nora, Josh?
I don't know.
That is God's honest
truth. I don't know.
Right.
Think about it,
then give us a call.
Pudding here is the bomb.
Remember that lake we used
to drive up to in Maine?
Mom hated the bugs
and you lit all those
citronella candles
and tried to make it romantic,
till Robbie knocked one over
and set fire to the campsite
and that ranger kicked us out.
The car ride home
was the best part.
We drove all night,
Mom singing,
you drumming at the wheel.
It felt like home in that car.
You made her happy, Dad.
She had a good life.
And that makes things
better on the other side,
trust me.
Mr. Malik.
- Mom?
- Sally?
Ah!
How is this possible?
We're ghosts, Mom.
I've missed you so much.
Your rainy-day sweater.
You always said
it made you feel safe.
Yeah, well, it didn't
exactly protect me.
You look great, Mom.
I told Josh that you'd be happy
that they changed your clothes.
You told who?
Oh yeah, well,
it's a long story.
Well, we have time now, right?
Oh, I haven't moved in months!
You know, really moved.
Can we-- can we
get out of here?
- Whoa, wait! What about Dad?
- What?
We should go.
We should check on Dad,
make sure he's OK, even
though he can't see us.
Uh, of course.
Of course.
So you're saying I can't
change out of these pants?

myself in a dress.

No, she wouldn't.
She wouldn't?

you're supposedly in love with?

And that's just

We're a pack.
There was a threat, and look

It's being investigated!
Trust me.
The way he looked,
no human did that to him.
We took care of her,
in ways that...
...you clearly can't.
This is insane.
Huh! OK.
Guys, I--I don't know
what you're saying to her,
but she won't
return my phone calls.
I just need to see her.
She needs to be
alone right now.
Really?
She doesn't need her pack?
I'm really sorry
you're acting this way.
I only have to hope
that you'll come around.
Or what? You'll viciously
maul me in my sleep?

We're all wolves here.
We'll give you a chance to run.

drinking again.
And boffing the princess.
No, you know, you leave
her out of this.
Mr. Holier-Than-Thou
turned out to be
the most ruthless one
of us all, didn't he?
You have no idea what
you're even talking about.
Really?
I have a severed head
that says different.
Aidan, you killed me.
You're probably
gonna kill Henry.
You'll cut yourself
a path straight to
the castle's front door.
Whatever it takes to rule
side by side with Suren.
It's not who I am.
It's not what I want.
Yeah, I think it is.
Maybe you'll kill her too.
Let's, you and me,
make no mistake.
You want it more
than I ever did.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
I am not here to criticize.
I salute you, my son.
You're a lot closer
than I ever was.
OK, first order of business.
Kill Henry.
I can't. I--I--I don't
know where he is.
I--I--
Aidan?
You wanna knock back
a few pints of live
to get your
strength up, I get it.
But you're his maker.
You know.
So, shirt, cool leather jacket.
Come on,
let's stake this bitch.
The horse?
Yes.
It looked just like that.
- No kidding?
- Yes.
Hey, doughboys!
Bishop.
Look at you. Yes!
Yankee Doodle do or die.
James Bishop, might I present
Private Henry Durham, US Army,
the finest medic
who ever lived?
- Or died.
- Shhh!
And then was born again.
Thanks to your progeny here
and of course, to you.
Yes, uh, Aidan told me quite
a bit about you in his letters.
You wrote about me, did you?
We never take a turn lightly.
Yeah, you should
certainly make sure
you're choosing wisely.
I'll just go say
goodbye to the fellas.
Well, at least you hate him.
No. No, I like him.
It's just, um, how
does that saying go?
"We choose in our children what
we think we see in ourselves."
And Henry has a touch of
the rebellious in him,
wouldn't you say?
No, Bishop. He practically
bent over backwards
to kiss your rings.
He's a company man.
Trust me.
As were you.
But I don't wanna ruin
the discoveries of
fatherhood for you.
Let's get a drink.
I know a place.
Well, this brings us back.
What exactly do you think
it is you're gonna find here?
He showed himself
the other night.
He could've ran.
We used to come here
back in the day to feed.
They came in droves
from the mountains,
the farms, the hollows,
with nothing but the shirts
on their backs and hope.
God, we had a time.
Look at you, Aidan,
clinging to what?
A memory, a moment in time,
trying to find some beauty that
is the wreckage of your son.
- You found it in me.
- Because you were worth it.
He's a good man.
Who stabbed you in the back
to sleep with Suren,
drove her to ground, drove
all of us into the shadows.
You have got to kill him.
He was young.
How many times did you
take a bullet for me?
It's not just anybody
he's organizing.
- That's my army.
- That's it, isn't it?
Organized, you got a problem.
- This is your freedom.
- Oh my--
What if the only thing
that stands between
you and it is Henry.
Now you want me to be free?
You spent centuries chasing
me around with a butterfly net.
Let's get something
else to eat.
I know these things
are never easy.
Drink up. It's best if these
things happen in a blur.
Kids.
Am I right?
Thank you so much.
Uh-uh.
Mom?
Mr. Patterson?
Sally?
Wow, you're--
you're all grown up!
I'm dead, Mr. Patterson.
It's OK, Sally.
Mom, get out of him!
It's your funeral.
Hey.
You've done some
work on the place.
Hey.
- You OK?
- Never better.
Is that a cat
wearing a catcher's mask?
- That's cute.
- Where were you last night?
Aidan, you're cute.
Just waiting on a friend.
You don't have any friends.
I mean, like--like fantasy
football or poker buddies.
You don't have, like,
guys like that.
So what friend?
- Is it Princess Suren?
- It was an old friend.
Oh my god! Is your wife
always this much of a nag?
I'm old, Josh.
OK.
Well, now that
you're here, listen.
That cop you turned--
I didn't turn--
Turning cops now?
No, I didn't turn her.
OK, well, I need her.
And what business do
you have with the police?
Can we be real just
for, like, a minute
and not pretend she's
just the police, Aidan?
The cops are after Nora,
and I need your
vampire cop, Cecilia,
to help make all this go away
in the way that you do.
Really?
You know I don't like
asking you for this, but...
Nora killed her
ex-boyfriend.
Oh my god!
Not her, but her wolf.
And still, not really her.
I mean, it was
the, uh, purebreds.
Josh, really--
Aidan, listen.
I know you've done this
a thousand times.
You can't make this one thing
go away just for me?
Oh, I can think
an easy way to make this...
- Please.
- ...go away.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's do that. I will appeal to
the newly turned vampire cop.
I'll say, "Cecilia, my friend
Josh-- Oh, maybe you know him!
"He's the werewolf who wanted
to take down Bishop."
We know how that turned out!
Well, his girlfriend, oops!
She killed Hegeman,
so there's that.
- OK, this is...
- She also kind of mauled her--
- It wasn't just her, Aidan!
- That's right, the purebreds!
We gotta tell everyone
about the purebreds!
So, kind of brutally
murdered her ex-boyfriend.
So if you could just sweep
all this under the rug,
that would be great.
This is cute what you're doing.
THAT'S BECAUSE
I'M CUTE!
Look, I'm just--
All I'm saying, Josh,
is that, uh, this
isn't who you are.
Well, thank you
for thinking that.
But sadly, I think
it's exactly who I am.
I'm the guy with
an antique rifle
loaded with silver, werewolf-
killing bullets under my bed.
- You have Hegeman's rifle?
- Yeah.
Oh!
And they will find
all of this and more
when they come after me
with their questions
and their evidence.
Where was I on the
night of the 26th?
Well, I was turning into
a werewolf in my storage unit.
Here's the key and here's
a videotape of the whole thing!
How else may I be of service?
You really need
to kill this guy.
Great. So I'll just
see you at work,
barring my imminent arrest.
Oh! And oh yeah,
Sally's mom died.
But Sally's great.
She's great.
I don't understand.
Mr. Patterson died
when I was 10.
What, did you, like,
have a pact or something?
We never dreamed
it would actually happen.
Mom, are you aware of
where you are right now?
Your husband is mourning
you, 10 feet away.
Sally, life is long.
Um, not really, Mom.
I know this is heavy, Sally,
I mean, your mom and me, death.
Yeah, Gerry, it's, like,
really far out there.
You were my neighbour.
You helped my dad
build my tree house.
When you and my mom
were making iced tea,
I had no idea that
you were-- Ugh!
If I could puke right now,
I would, I swear to God.
Take a deep breath, Sally.
We're beyond it.
We beyond all of it,
you know, our earthly ties,
the restrictions of the flesh.
Now I know why you sat in the
dark for a week when Gerry died.
So you understand,
right? It was real?
No, Mom. I actually don't
understand anything right now.
Honey, I just died.
Can we take a moment before
we get into all of this?
Mom, I was more than willing
to take many moments with you.
Do you have any idea
how much I missed you?
And then the first
free second you have,
you're grinding on some
gravestone with Gerry?
Tell you what.
I would love to see your place,
you know, curl up,
have some girl time.
God! Mom, that was so
awkward when I was 13 too.
OK.
So? Should we go
check out the wake?
Cecilia, right?
Do I know you?
I think you do, yeah.
Can I help you?
You're investigating
a girl named Nora Sergeant.
I'd like you to stop.
I don't even know
what you're talking about.
- Aidan didn't--
- Aidan?
Nora hasn't done
anything wrong.
I know that, Aidan knows that,
and I'm sure he's getting
around to telling you that.
You're not doing him any favors
asking me to pull
strings for a werewolf.
Wait!
I may be new,
but I'm not stupid.
But I--
I know about--
What if I can get you 2 wolves?
My building doesn't allow dogs.
Purebreds.
You said yourself, you're new.
Wouldn't this be
some kind of prize?
Especially if--
If you knew they were the
wolves that killed Hegeman?
You know who he was, right?
Nora who?
Sergeant.
She's like you?
That's funny.
This case wasn't
even on my radar.
But now I'll be sure to
give it my full attention.
Thanks so much.
Oh, hey!
You came.
Huh? Oh yeah.
Oh my god!
I have so many questions
to ask your mom about you.
What's up with you?
What's up with you?
Why would a ghost
ring a doorbell?
To instil a sense
of occasion? I don't know.
My mom's brand new.
She has no skills.
Stop.
Josh, you think
you could get it?
Sure, why don't I get it?
Thank you.
Uh, oh!
Oh, and don't mention anything
about being a werewolf.
Right, 'cause I
usually lead with that.
What's up with him?
Look, um, Mom didn't come
over much when Danny was around.
And it's been years
since we were able
to sit down and just be us.
I want that.
I miss that.
OK.
OK, that is, um...
Like someone threw up in a
coffee cup and microwaved it?
Come on in.
So, these are your friends?
Otherwise totally
normal friends
that can see dead people.
You're not a vampire?
Yes.
I'm gonna go check on
the, uh, on the lasagne.
Gerry is so knowledgeable
about the beyond.
Why am I yet again cooking
dinner for people who don't eat?
- Stay there!
- Murderer!
- Stay there!
- Turn around!
You didn't think we'd find it?
Find what?
Your stack of dead!
I don't have a stack of dead!
Stop lying!
- No, please, please, don't!
- Hey.
Are you coming?
Are you crying?
It was a hot oven...
I'm gonna go ahead and dial back
the crazy a little bit
and just serve myself if
that's cool with--with you guys.
The place looks great, honey.
We burned it.
That helped.
Well, Danny always
stifled your aesthetic.
Yeah. I mean, it rocks that
you're free of him, Sally.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's funny how things
were with Danny, huh?
I wasn't happy,
but I stayed for years,
lying to myself, to my family.
Sally, you don't--
You don't wanna--
- But I do. Was there something
about Dad that I'm missing?
Was he verbally or
physically abusing you
while he wasn't
rubbing your feet
or leaving you poems
on the kitchen counter?
You're making that up.
- I'm not!
- One poem!
Would two have stopped you
from boffing the neighbour?
I don't expect you
to understand.
Oh good!
- She's still young.
- I know.
It hasn't occurred
to you that your parents
could be individuals,
have a life of their own?
No, I get that, Mom.
I really do.
Having your own life,
that's fine.
Having an extramarital affair
that leaks into your death,
that's not fine.
I died and you didn't
even know how!
For so long, I've been
waiting for you to hold me,
for you to tell me what to do.
And you've just
been waiting for him.
Sally, I love you.
I loved your father, but...
Yes! Yes, I have a vital
relationship with Gerry
that I have had to mourn
in silence for over a decade
and that is what I want to spend
the rest of my time exploring.
Wow.
OK.
I appreciate the
honesty, I guess.
- I'll get it.
- I got it.
- Don't get it!
- I got it.
You better not invite them in!
Because of the vampires.
'Cause the vampires.
'Cause if you invite them in,
then they might
p-p-potentially kill us all,
or just me, 'cause I'm
the only one still--
I'm gonna go!
I'm--I'm gonna let myself out.
Uh, Gerry, Rena, it was...
I'd ask to come in,
but the last time I tread
on your territory,
things didn't go so well.
Can we talk?
Josh?
Mind if we have
a look at those?
I moved around a lot.
Pacific Northwest mostly.
Easy to disappear there.
And you?
Eating's been good, I see.
Why did you come back, Henry?
I'd heard you killed Bishop.
I heard you were supposed
to be running Boston.
I came to support you.
Oh, and instead, you've
fallen in with the orphans.
I haven't fallen in with them.
I taught them a few things.
Survival.
Blood dedens in plain sight.
A fighting chance.
Bishop, you, left
them with nothing.
No tools.
I've been out there
for 80 years.
I couldn't just sit
back and watch them die.
I want back in
the family, Aidan.
I didn't come back for her,
if that's what you're scared of.
Aidan, I'm tired of hiding.
Can you, with any honesty,
tell me you're the same
vampire I left 80 years ago?
Can you tell me Suren's the same
vampire who exposed us all?
With any God-given grace,
time heals,
time matures.
I think it was you
who tried to teach me that.
Funny. Most people who
rent places like this,
they fill them with boxes,
bowling trophies.
Not too many people have
video cameras and cages.
So you can see how this
isn't looking good for you.
How did you guys
even know to look here?
We followed you, genius.
We thought you'd lead us
to your girlfriend, but...
How did these get here?
Yeah, I know...
Those were here when
I rented the place.
It's weird.
We can always ask
the rental manager,
see if he's seen or
heard anything strange.
Looks like the ones
at the scene, right?
Cages, video cameras
claw marks on the walls.
We're cuffing this guy, right?
This young man
is a sick bastard,
but he's not our guy.
No. No, he's
definitely not our guy.
Hold up, hold up,
hold up! W-w-what?
We're gonna forget his
dopy little face after this.
I'll be holding on
to that tape.
Yes, ma'am.
This is where you thank me.
Yes, well, I'm not exactly
sure of our arrangement yet.
Well, I thought you were
making the purebred thing up.
Well, you're new.
You really wanna
be a smart-ass now?
No. No, ma'am.
Bring them to me.
I can't be any more involved.
Whatever set up you've got here
and the one next door
for your girlfriend,
I'm guessing you're already
pretty damn involved.
I want the purebreds.
So, babe, I'm gonna go.
It's OK.
You two need to be alone
together without me.
I'll see you back at the place?
Please tell me the place
isn't the cemetery,
'cause that's gross and weird.
No, it's this tree
we used to go to--
OK!
OK.
I wanted to come here alone,
you know, walk in
the door, hug you,
talk about the wallpaper.
But we're dead.
And the way
you died is--
You'll never understand this
because you'll never
have a daughter.
For that, I am so sorry.
But for me, to see you here...
my amazing daughter...
still in this house
where you were with him,
I mean, living, dying,
to see this is my idea of hell.
So what? It's just--
It's easier with Gerry?
I failed you even
when you were alive.
How can I help you now?
Can't you try?
How much time do we have?
No offense, Mom, but if
someone in your situation
were to get her door right now,
I am done with this dimension.
I haven't taken an easy
breath for most of a century.
How can I come back?
Henry, I told you before.
There is no coming back.
You can't mean that.
Not aft--
You killed your maker.
You flouted the very principals
you're now standing on.
It was never about principals.
It was about love, you ant.
I have to ask you something.
I've heard things.
You and Suren--
Henry, choose
your words carefully.
After all the warnings you
gave me to stay away from her,
really?
Are you just going
to stand there
and listen to him talk
about your woman that way?
Your woman!
Oh, Aidan, grow a pair.
Then you're truly
in love with her.
I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe.
Then where does that leave me?
Dead.
You think he's going
to choose his wayward son
over the royal you scorned?
My blood, my name will be
on that throne of power.
And I'll use your head
for a footstool.
Take him, Aidan.
Do it.
- Aidan.
- Destroy him!
I said where
does that leave me?
That's what I'm trying
to figure out.
Really?
'Cause I think I know.
Aidan!
I've wasted 80 years,
fearing this moment.
Maybe it'll be a relief.
Do it, Aidan. Do it.
You're a killer, man.
You always have been.
Embrace it.
This is freedom.
This is power.
All these years,
wondering if you
were dead or alive,
wishing that I'd killed you!
And then missing you.
I can't do this anymore.
What, then, do you suggest?
If it's the shadows again,
kill me now.
No, I'm gonna find a way
to make this right for you.
That's what you said
to our brethren too,
the orphans.
They weren't mine to save.
You are.
I hope you give me
reason to believe you.
I just couldn't do it.
Course you couldn't.
Where's your mom?
Comingling in some tree.
Thank you for cooking the
most awkward meal of all time.
I pretty much have
the market cornered on that.
When I was a kid, I kind of
just thought my parents were--
I don't know, waiting
around, doing nothing
until I came back in the room.
That's what Aidan and I do.
She had a life.
And I'm sitting here
judging her for it.
I'm never gonna
know what it's like
to want to protect
my child and fail.
I don't think it has
to be your child.
I think if you love
someone, anyone, that much,
you can surprise yourself
about what you do.

Jeez! Come in, man.
I don't know how--
I don't know
what you did to her
to make her do that.
But I don't care.
I don't want her back.
When you speak to her...
...tell her that she doesn't
have to worry about the police.
It's been taken care of.
You think you can do that?
My brother, that is
mighty impressive.
I didn't think
you had it in you.
I told you he was loyal.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I am.

something only to destroy it?
But you just--
You spent all night
telling me that
I had to kill Henry.
I had to kill him.
Would that you could.
But the son always kills
the father, you'll see.
I've never been so scared
for you as I am now, Aidan.

protecting your own.
