Being Human (2011–2014): Season 3, Episode 3 - The Teens, They Are a Changin' - full transcript

Previously on Being Human...

No reunions.

No people from her past.

That's the catch.

Sally? It's Trent.

This is why you can't
see anyone from your past.

They'll die.

There was this flu,

and if you drink the blood
of someone who had it,

it wipes out vampires.

- This is my girlfriend, Emma.
- I never got that flu.



Emma will feed you.

I'm gonna die in here.

- I let her go.
- What is wrong with you?

I'm gonna ask Nora to marry me.

Josh, you should've...

I'm Liam McLean,

Connor and Bryon's father.

I came to find her.

Nora!

Oh no!

You could've killed me last night.

Putting you through your paces.

Exercise.

You ripped open a metal
door with your teeth.



Then you were bleeding
and coming at me and...

We're wolves, Nora. It's what we do.

And why would I wanna hurt you?

You're the closest link I have to Brynn.

You're like kin.

Those like us need to stick together.

What if I had attacked you?

Humans are the only
animal with a death wish.

You're more wolf than that.

There's no worse sin than
turning on one of your own.

Yeah, I called the police
and the fire department,

which I really don't get,

because she didn't disappear in a fire.

And now I'm calling
your delightful hospital.

I'm not being snippy.

I think you're being snippy.

Sally! Focus.

That's right, Nora Sergeant.

No, no. Thank you.

OK, I'm assuming that was a no.

So that's every hospital within 60 miles.

Where next? The Cape?

Can wolves swim?

Josh? Hey!

Oh my God!

- Hi...
- Are you ok?

Yeah. I'm fine.

I went to the storage unit.

After everything we've
been through, I can't...

It's ok.

But what if it weren't?

Can we worry about that another time?

Because the twins have a dad.

And he wants answers.

Just when I had a shred of hope,

you got me again.

You know, you are a fast learner.

Oh...

You're gonna beat me at this thing one day.

I doubt that very much.

- Hey, Theo, are you hungry?
- Mmm...

Let me take you out to lunch.

Oh, come on!

It's the least I can do
after the free lesson.

You really don't have to.

- Come on. I insist.
- Really?

- Come on! Yeah.
- All right.

Theo! Shortcut.

Hey! No!

Please!

You won't feel a thing.

Get out of here.

Get out before I snap your stem!

You're kidding me.

Look, Henry.

That was probably just a cold. I'll...

You have no idea what you're talking about!

You were buried when the flu hit them.

when the virus got us.

You didn't have to watch
everyone you know die.

One day they're fine,
the next they're gone.

I'm sure it was awful,

but we can learn from their mistakes.

It already takes weeks... weeks...

chatting up losers for one clean pint.

Keep your voice down.

What about the dentist we got Tuesday?

Hey! What did I tell you?

Until we kill him?

Or until you compel him
enough to fry his brain? No!

I'll find a better way.

I already had a better way!

Her name was Emma.

She was pretty! She smelled like vanilla.

And you let her go!

Hurry up and do it.

Are we ever gonna stop talking about this?

She was a slave.

What, you gotta torture some poor girl

just to survive?

No!

We're better than that.

Maybe you are.

As long as you're my son, you are too.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm done trolling around
for one clean drop.

I'm done starving every day.

- I'm done with...
- Me?

I didn't say that.

Just stay focused.

There's healthy blood out there.

It's a numbers game.

Tons of people got sick,

plenty didn't.

I'll find the healthy blood.

All you gotta do is just trust me.

Ok?

Henry...

Come on.

You need to snap out of it.

I'm hungry.

They're empty calories, Sally!

Everything I eat is empty calories.

Nothing sticks.

I had 2 whole chickens last night.

And a tub of ice cream.

The kind with a handle.

- I'm just
stress-eating.- I know.

What am I supposed to do?

Every time I leave the house,

I'm afraid I'll kill somebody.

I have no identity.

And I can't stop thinking about poor Trent.

Ah, well here's a solution for you.

Maybe you could stop thinking about him

if you didn't have a Google alert for

"Trent + Harris + dead."

- Ok, so you saw that.
- Yes!

Then you know his memorial
service is coming up.

- I think I should go.
- That's a great idea.

If you wanna kill half your yearbook.

Because Trent's friends and classmates

are also your friends and classmates,

so they see you, they die.

Yes, ok, but what if his ghost
is there and I can speak to him?

He's probably scared.

I didn't know anything about being a ghost

until I met you and Aidan.

I put him there.

The least I can do is help him move on.

Sally, you can't go to
his memorial service, ok?

You know that.

And also, selfishly...

I need more normal in my life

if I'm ever going to ask Nora to marry me.

And that includes you not killing anybody.

I totally hear you.

Could you stop eating this?

It's terrible for you.

It's unbelievable.

All day!

I know you've got a ton on your plate,

but I could use a favour.

Sure you could. Shoot.

Finding clean blood, it has been, uh...

a lot tougher than I thought and, well,

you're pulling some
shifts in admitting, right?

Yeah...

So do you think that, maybe,
when a patient comes in,

you could ask a couple of extra questions

to see if they had this flu?

So you want me to screen my patients,

and then hand them over to you

so that you and Henry can suck them dry?

- Josh, that's not it.
- It's not?

No sucking dry.

No, we take a pint, maybe two.

Henry compels them, bing, bang, boom, done!

Strictly catch and release.

Because that worked so well

with the 2 party girls upstairs
who ended up dead in your room?

You promised me, Aidan,

never again.

Henry is, uh...

he's much better at compelling than I am.

He's not gonna mess up like I did.

So let me get this straight.

Sally needs me to work 2
jobs in order to keep her fed

and you want me to risk losing

the one job that I have

to feed you.

I know what I'm asking.

But I'm running out of options.

Please.

I hope you said no!

Of course I said no.

I mean, it was one thing
when you used to be one of us.

- I'm still one of you.
- No!

Now you're better.

You have your life back.

And now he's trying to
drag you down into his.

No. No.

I made it very clear.

Only Nora gets to do that.

That hurt.

Hey, Trent.

Sally...

What I wouldn't give to just
talk to you one more time.

Oh, sorry, I should've clarified.

You can.

You can see me?

Wait, why... why can you see me?

Because I was a ghost too.

What?

You...

but I... I kissed you.

Yeah. Yeah, you did.

Um, and about that, um...

ok, well,

after Danny murdered me,

I spent some time ghosting,

then limbo... don't recommend it...

and, uh, a witch brought me back

as what you kissed.

Oh!

Hey, go back to that witch part, um...

can I come back, too?

Well, there's some fine
print that's not so great.

Like?

Like you kill everybody

from your past that you see.

Ah... ok.

Ok, so you were warned by a witch

not to see anybody from your past...

I wasn't warned personally,

and... and it's... she's
not a witch, per se.

But you still tried to make out with me?

I... you know, I think that

you tried to make out with me,

but, um, look, I feel awful.

Ok. 'Cause you should feel awful.

Um, because you're a
horrible, heartless bitch!

That's a little uncalled for.

I would never knowingly hurt somebody.

You kind of killed me.

Uh, excuse me, Ma'am?

You're not allowed down here.

Ma'am?

You're a lot older than you look.

Could I have 5 more minutes?

There's gonna be a
memorial service for that.

It's just that, um, Trent's parents and I,

we don't really get along.

You don't even know my family.

What's my mom's name?

So maybe I could... you know, I just...

they probably don't want me at the service,

So I figured I'd come here and
say goodbye to my old friend.

Wow. Are you ever not lying?

I'm sure he knows you care...

About yourself!

But rules are rules.

- Ok.
- Thank you. Come on.

Please, no.

Look, I'm not trying to start anything.

Shut up!

Erin Shepher

Please don't speak to me like that.

Keep looking at me, see how this ends.

Erin Shepherd? Is everything ok?

I left for 2 seconds,
he changed the channel.

She walked away.

This isn't a prison yard...

No! Make him change it back!

Why don't you come with me? Sorry, sir.

Just give me some antibiotics
and let me get out of here.

Well, we need to admit you first,

and you left half this form blank.

Here, come in here.

I didn't know all the answers.

Like your address and phone number?

I know my rights. I don't
have to give you that.

Ok, how about your parents'
contact information?

- I don't know.
- Really?

Yes, really.

We could ask their meth dealer.

He sees them a lot more than I do.

Look, this thing's been
killing me for weeks.

Can I see a doctor or not?

Well, what's, um, what's wrong?

Some kind of infection.

Keeps getting worse. Hurts like a mother.

How did it start?

I was out with my boyfriend.

Came home by the tracks

when this crazy-ass
dog came out of nowhere.

It was a full moon, so
I could see pretty well.

I... I need you to describe the dog.

It didn't look like a dog.

But it was huge and
mangy and built like a...

Wolf?

I guess, yeah.

Scratched the hell out of me.

How bad is it?

Maybe it was just a dog.

No, she was attacked
during the last full moon.

The way she described it,

there's no way it was just a dog.

How long can she stay here?

I had to lie just to get her a bed.

I called DCF and foster
care. She's on record now.

The social worker must be on the way.

Yeah, but what if she isn't?

We can't just drop her
in the middle of Boston

this close to the turn.

She can't be here, Nora.

We have, like, what,
a day until it happens?

We have to tell her.

I used to be her, Josh.

She's not ready to hear it.

No one is.

Come on.

No, just wait.

Let's just give her the day.

What if she splits in
the middle of the night?

Look at her.

Her own room,

meals delivered to her bed?

After what she's used to?

When you turned, you had
no idea what was coming.

I did.

And it wrecked me.

In a day, this life ends for her.

Let the girl have cable
and bad hospital food.

No, let's not do that.

You don't get it. I love her.

You love the vein she'd open for you.

We had something.

Ok, I'm sure after walking around

in this petri dish of influenza,

her blood's still clean.

Who am I to stop true love?

So by all means, go to her.

Have you talked to your roommate?

Yeah, of course.

I'm on it.

That's a "no."

Good old Josh,

self-righteous as ever.

I'm so damn hungry. I can't keep going.

You can. Henry, I know it hurts.

I was dry for over a year.

I couldn't think.

I was pretty damn sure I couldn't go on,

but I did. You will too.

Stop saying that.

I was there.

I saw friends like me,

better than me, stronger than me...

they're all dust now.

No, they were not better than you.

They were weak and they gave in.

You, Henry,

you have untapped power and strength

and I've always known this.

Even when you didn't.

- Get away from me!
- Listen to me!

No!

Whoa! Whoa!

What is going on in here?

I'm from DCF. I'm Erin's caseworker.

You had a nice run, now
let's get you out of here.

No, she's a patient.

I talked to the doctor.

He said she could be released.

Erin's a pro at malingering.

No, she's not. She's sick.

She snowed you quick.

Don't send me back to that home.

Don't worry!

They won't have you.

Not after you stole $300
and smacked their grandson.

It wasn't my fault!

It never is!

That makes 27 homes in 2 years.

Maybe if you stopped
placing me with Holy Rollers

or a bunch of bad-touch
brothers I'd have a chance.

- Erin, calm down.
- Fine. I'll try again.

Now get your things.

She's not leaving.

That's not your call.

A few notes on her chart and it is my call.

We can run some tests, check for abuse.

It doesn't sound like she has
a reliable caretaker at home.

You wanna play it that way? Fine.

She's your problem now.

We've already falsified
enough records to get fired.

She should stay with us.

Just through her first turn.

Are you... did you hear her social worker?

I mean, she'll... she'll...

she's gonna cut us in our sleep.

With a shank or a shiv or... shank?

I... I think they're both acceptable.

And Aidan's at home, and
he's not exactly stable,

and you see how this
is getting complicated?

If you think that she's so awful,

en what do you think of me?

Nora, you're nothing like her.

I'm closer than you want to admit.

My wolf did terrible things

because I had terrible things done to me.

Everything I stood there and
took couldn't wait to come out.

You don't wanna think that I'm like her,

but I am.

There's no good answer.

No...

but she's turning tomorrow, no matter what.

And we're running out of time.

If we don't help her,
then what else is there?

What, you wanna put her down?

- You actually thought about it!
- I didn't.

If you'd seen me out there with Brynn,

would you have put me down?

Come on, Nora, seriously...

I'm not saying that we adopt her.

But she needs someone who understands

what she's going through.

And like it or not,

that's us.

Alec Dumont, extension 3105.

- All right.
- Ok.

All right.

We'll check her out after our shifts

and we'll show her what
she's about to become.

So I think we got off on the wrong foot.

Oh, you mean because you killed me?

What part of "rest in peace"
don't you understand, Sally?

Just let me make it up to you.

I've been where you are.

You probably have a lot of questions.

Yeah, like: "Why me?
Why did I have to die?"

I'm sorry that you're here, but...

Ok, you may not have to be for long.

Every ghost,

they're waiting on their door.

Sally, I've been haunting a funeral home.

You can't turn a corner

without a ghost blah, blah,
blah-ing on about their door.

Ok, then you know about the door,

so we just have to figure
out how to get you yours.

Every ghost that's waiting has
some sort of unresolved issues.

We have to figure out what yours is.

I know exactly what mine is.

- You do?
- Yeah...

I, um...

I made out with you

when I should've been
home with my fianc?e.

Fianc?e?

You had a fianc?e and
you're making out with me?

You killed me, all right? Save the outrage.

Look,

it'd be very helpful

if you could make things
right with Candace.

Ok.

She's gonna be at the memorial service.

Right.

But I... I can't be.

Or everyone you know ends up dead.

Well, once again,

really helpful chat, Sally.

No, Trent,

I will do this.

I'm gonna do it.

Ok, I just...

I might need a little help.

Excuse me...

those are patient files.

You can't look at...

Not that hard, is it?

You can't be here.

I know you and Aidan talked.

He asked you for one thing.

Send a few prescreened
mouth-breathers our way.

You think I'm being selfish?

No one knows more about that than you.

You don't care about Aidan.

You got your life back, so screw him.

Stop trying to sell this whole
"concerned friend" shtick.

You're looking out for yourself,
just like you always have.

And you're not?

You have no idea what
Aidan's going through. I do.

I'm not gonna argue about
who had it worse, all right?

I've been there, too.

And the second you got cured,

you turned your back on him.

I never turned my back on Aidan.

I never gave up.

You look at Aidan now like a nuisance.

You wake up every morning

and the first thing you
think is: "Thank God."

You're wrong.

You're not one of us any more.

In 100 years, Aidan
won't remember your name.

You're entirely replaceable.

Listen, uh...

I had no idea that Henry would come here.

That's all right.

He was...

he was unhinged.

And he was way out of line, but...

I don't know, maybe he wasn't wrong.

I found somebody for you.

He's clean. He's a cable
installer from Somerville.

He's a nice guy.

Thank you.

He's got 2 kids, a boy and a girl.

Little one likes frogs...

you see where I'm going with this?

Yeah, I got it. Totally.

Don't worry, nothing can go wrong.

Mr. Walsh won't even remember meeting us.

Hey, Aidan!

Just don't make me regret this, ok?

Hey... vatch and release.

Do you... do you want something?

I have soda.

I think we have a nice oolong tea.

I'm good.

Great.

Because there's something that, uh,

that we have to tell you.

Something that we didn't
tell you at the hospital.

I was afraid of that.

- Do I have another STD?
- Mmm, no.

If it's about the painkillers,
I'll give them back.

I just sell them to pay for weed.

Also not it.

I'm not pregnant. Am I?

You're gonna be a werewolf!

Ok... I'll be quiet.

He's serious.

The thing that attacked you, it uh...

it wasn't a dog.

It was a werewolf.

Just like the one that scratched me.

And what Josh was like
when he scratched me.

And now,

once a month,

you're gonna become one too.

Ok.

Look, you seem really cool.

But I should really get back to the home.

No, Erin, you can't go back there.

I made it sound way worse than it is.

No, you can't go back,

because tomorrow night's the full moon.

But we're gonna be here

so you don't have to go through it alone.

Super thoughtful of you, really, but

I should go.

Erin, let me just show you something.

Oh, God. You naked in a
dungeon is probably exactly...

Whatever you guys are into...

No, no, no! Just wait one second!

Just wait. Yeah.

This is the worst part.

Stop it!

Why are you showing this to me?

Because...

even though this will
happen to you once a month,

you survive.

It's almost done.

This is the part where you feel...

- like dying.
- amazing.

How long do I have?

Ok. You don't know these people.

Coast is clear.

Right there, right there.

She's right there. That's
her. That's Candace.

Hey! Psst!

That's her.

Max! Max!

Go get her, Max! Excuse me.

What is wrong with you?

She just lost the man

she was gonna spend the
rest of her life with.

You act like that means nothing. It does.

And I'm not your errand boy.

Ok.

Why I have agreed to help a pushy woman

who's hated by the family, I'm not sure.

Because you're not helping
me, you're helping Trent.

Relax. Forget you saw us.

- Henry!
- Get away from me!

Deep breathing.

Bring it on a little slowly, ok?

- Hi...
- Hi...

What was so important it couldn't wait?

Um, Trent wanted you to
know how much he loves you.

I know that.

I was engaged to him.

Yes.

Pardon my bluntness, but who are you?

I'm an old friend.

Sa... mantha.

Who I've never heard of,

who Trent's never mentioned?

Yeah, um...

Listen, I don't what kind
of ego trip you're on, but...

Trent's real friends
and family are out there,

so you'll have to excuse me.

No, no... you have to tell her.

Just Trent cheated on you.

Whoa, whoa! Cheated, strong word.

And you know this how?

Because he made out with
me the night he died.

You get crazier by the second.

You have to believe me.

Tell her when she's stressed,
she still sucks her thumb.

You still suck your thumb.

- He told you that?
- Yes.

While you were making out?

No.

Different time.

Look, Trent needs you to believe me.

He needs...

he needs to just clear his conscience

so that you can both move on.

No...

Oh, man.

Uh, do something.

Just, a hug seems weird, considering.

Just give her a pat.

Just, uh, think of the good times.

No, it's... it's not that.

It's...

I had been cheating on Trent for a year.

Come again?

And I have felt so guilty.

But if he somehow knew we were
wrong for each other too, it...

it makes it better somehow.

Thank you.

We'll figure out how to beat this.

It's like the Amish said,

I was never exposed, so...

Drink.

It didn't work on Atlee,

it's not gonna work on me.

It spares no one.

These mean one thing.

It's over.

No, it's not over.

You will make it through this.

You're a survivor.

Stop it! I'm not.

I slipped because I'm weak.

That's the truth.

I walked into that hospital and
thought: "one drink can't hurt."

You missed one hell of a bender.

So you slipped up!

But it doesn't mean that that's the end.

It's been over for a long time now, Aidan.

You just don't see it.

It's been over since I came back to you.

You mind explaining that?

Suren, Bishop, Rebecca.

They all believed in you too.

You were so damn sure

you were gonna change the world

and they all went along for the ride.

And now, I'm just like them.

I didn't see your face for 80 years.

But I'm right back here like an idiot.

Listen, we can make it through this.

No.

Because everyone who loves you dies.

Hey, Henry... shhh...

It's ok. It's all right. I can't be here.

Henry, relax. You're safe here.

I can't be here.

You're not thinking straight.

Don't go out there!

If I'm gonna die, it's
not gonna be in here.

Not like some pathetic human,
waiting for hospice to show up.

Or one of your dogs,
crawling under the porch.

I have a day, maybe a week.

But I'm not going out like this.

I got it!

It was that guy who wanted
to share an RV at Burning Man.

That's who it was.

All right, I'm not gonna lie,

it was a setback.

But we still have a door to get you.

So free association: any
other unresolved issues?

Go.

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me?

You're not human, you're not a ghost,

but somehow, you managed
to screw up both worlds!

Since you came back into my life

you lied about who you are

you left out the part
that ended up killing me,

and then you destroyed
the memory of my fianc?e.

You know what?

I finally figured out how
you can help me, Sally.

Just never come near me again!

Sally...

I know. I'm not supposed
to be here. I'm going.

Uh, wait.

I know this is gonna sound hokey,

but, uh, these people,

when they're with me,
they're my responsibility,

living or dead.

And the best I can do

is make their worst
day a little less awful.

But you...

that look of joy that
was on his fianc?e's face

after you talked to her...

well, I'd... I'd give
anything to have that gift.

Thanks, Max.

I still can't leave you here unattended.

I know.

One rump roast on a rope for you.

So this really fools me? It?

Yeah.

What's the other stuff?

Josh put together a
little post-turn care package.

Yeah, uh, so you got your blanket,

um, water, toothpaste, I
think there's some floss.

It's for the stubborn bits.

There you go.

Ok.

Where's yours?

Oh. I don't turn any more.

Why not?

Well, because I broke my curse
when I bashed in the skull

of the man who scratched me.

Dude.

You've got layers.

Whoa! Whoa! Why do you have that?

- Just... just in case.
- What do you mean?

Just in case, Nora.

What are you planning?

I thought we were gonna help her.

I'm not planning to do anything,

but I'm not going to leave
you alone with that girl, ok?

You think that girl is
damaged, fragile, abused.

You think she's you.

But what if she's not?

What if she's...

Brynn?

Ok.

- Ok, keep the gun.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, my fingers are numb.

I c... can't feel my toes.

That's the beginning.

It's normal, ok?

Just breathe.

- I can smell...
- Everything.

I know.

It's gonna be ok, sweetie, ok?

I promise, you're gonna be ok, Erin.

You have to trust me.

Ok?

I don't want this. Please
don't let this happen.

I can't...

You'll be ok.

I'll probably change
first, so just remember:

follow the smells and stay close.

It'll be over soon.

Josh!

All I ever wanted was to
live up to your expectations.

You did.

No, I didn't.

Because I couldn't.

You tried to teach me how to be a good man,

but I'm not a man.

I haven't been for 100 years.

We're monsters to them, Aidan.

It's all we'll ever be.

I'm a vampire, Aidan.
