Being Human (2011–2014): Season 4, Episode 2 - That Time of the Month - full transcript

Previously on Being Human.

Josh, not the silver!

- How long do we have?
- Maybe 30 minutes.

I'm on a runaway train.

You're back!

So you're telling me
that I can't see Josh...

- Yes, you can see Josh.
- Real Josh...

Till the next full moon?

That he's a full-time wolf now?

He's gone.

- Aaah!
- Stop!



I don't know what that was.

- Sally! Sally!
- Sally?

Guys? Guys!

I love you, Aidan, but
I'm not gonna cease to exist

if you are not ready to say it back.

Now, you be good to your mother
while I am gone, Isaac.

I want to be with you forever.

Aidan.

It's me.

Suzanna?

Come inside. Come on.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Josh?



I'm here now.

It's Sally.

I want you to know
that I came back different.

Powerful.

Well, I mean, "powerful" might
be overstating things a little.

I sort of have this introductory pyro deal

and this unsettling ability

to witness child murder in other
dimensions, apparently.

So, yeah, I just gotta work on
the control factor a little bit.

That's what I'm thinking.

Josh.

Josh, can you hear me?

Sally? What are you doing?

Josh? Josh!

It's all right! I'm here.

That's it.

What happened? What were you doing?

Can you please just try
to stay out of there?

It's the silver.

The more he struggles, the
more he hurts himself.

Look, I know you just got
back, and that you're hopeful.

You wanna make a
connection to whatever part of Josh

is still inside of that thing.

But we've been out in
these woods, Sally, for 3 months.

- Nora...
- I lost my best friend.

I lost the one person on this
planet who actually understands me.

I lost Josh.

And every full moon, he comes
back a little bit worse.

I can see it in his eyes!

He's losing his humanity.

So you're gonna have to forgive me if
my hope is on short supply these days.

I think I can help him.

What did you say?

I have this...

Power.

Yeah, I know you do.

I've seen it.

But what happened to you
after the fireworks show?

Where the hell did you go?

Well, I made it back, didn't I?

I'm sorry. Maybe I've just
dug up one too many bodies.

I know that it's probably
magic that got him into this,

but Donna's magic, which is your
magic, too, now, I guess,

scares the crap out of me.

All right. I mean, so what?

What's the plan?

You and Aidan, you stay out here,

you stick to the s'mores and hotdog diet

and just wait it out,

until the wolf takes over and
you lose your husband for good?

You're right, Nora.

Donna's magic is what got Josh into this,

so I don't see how we
have much of a choice.

I love him too, Nora,

and he saved me more
times than I can count.

You have to let me help him.

That Time of the Month

It's good to see you. Did I say that?

You haven't said anything, really.

Oh, it's the first
sentence I keep tripping over, then.

It's a little strange, isn't it?

Just a little.

All this time, I...

I never imagined you wearing
a leather jacket.

Uh, yeah, I guess I've been in a rut

for the last couple of decades.

You speak differently.

You're wearing pants.

It has been a really long time.

Suzanna...

What happened to you,
uh, on that riverbank,

you didn't deserve that.

And, look, I just gotta ask you.

What... How did
this... How did this happen?

Who?

Save your soul!

Renounce the monster who
is now your husband!

I will not!

Isaac, wait here.

Suzanna! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Welcome back, lovely!

The river!

It was my end!

The reverend...

The reverend is a self-righteous fool.

I've been watching you.

I'm sorry your good friends and neighbours

couldn't see your better qualities
of love and loyalty.

You should know that those elevated
by an enlightened mind

are oftentimes forced to pay the
ultimate price in this world.

You are a good woman, Suzanna Waite,

and if you do exactly as I say,

I will reunite you with your husband.

You...

You... You are the demon

who visited this plague on my family!

Who robbed Aidan of his humanity.

I celebrate his humanity!

As did you.

Do you really think him a monster,

the man you took into your bed

and fed by your vein?

Monster.

Then I too?

We are the same.

Strong, powerful beyond measure.

Freed from the bonds of immortal life.

The love you share with
Aidan can burn for an eternity.

Precious few have that chance.

Aidan despises who he is,

what you made him!

He would prefer I lay
still in a watery grave.

He will mourn his wife.

I assure you that these
feelings will pass away

upon your first reunion.

Ours is an easy life.

The only hardship we
face is the pursuit of food.

This feeling you have now, this
hunger, it's only going to grow.

You must feed and soon.

There is a village up the
road. Come, I'll teach you.

When we've had our
fill, we'll find our Aidan.

I cannot!

I will not!

Why must they always run?

There's nothing here.

I can touch the ground.

OK, a little on the nose, what
with the leather of it all.

Oh no!

Come on!

Come on.

You were the first casualty

in an endless stream of consequences
for what I became.

Well, I welcomed you
back home. That was my choice.

- Yes.
- No one forced me to.

But I made you promises.

I did. In that white clapboard
meeting house,

I promised to love you, to honour you.

Well, the girl who's owed
that apology is long dead.

Yeah, but I didn't honour you.

Suzanna, the day that you died,

I abandoned your son...

to avenge you.

It's 200 years.

And in all that time, I have
never been brave enough

to learn what became of our boy.

I was scared too.

I mean, he was left, an orphan.

But he died a grandfather.

I am so glad to see you again.

I wanted to see you too.

Then why did you...

Why did you stay away?

Aidan! Check it! Check it!

- Oh, oh, oh!
- That's impressive, Sally.

Right, right, right? Look at this. Look.

I'm a ghost, just reading a book,

like I do, turning the pages,

you know, with my hands!

Who's this? I thought you came
back to spend the night with Kat.

I did.

Who's this glossy-haired long face?

Hi! I'm...

She's an old friend of mine.

- You can see me?
- Yeah.

And you know what normal people can see?

A floating book. Check it
out, everyone. Go, surreal!

- Would you please be subtle next time?
- What are you?

I was serious about your hair. It's nice.

No, focus. Where did you get this book?

It's Donna's. It's what
I'm gonna use to help Josh.

So I suggest you cut the side
dish loose and meet us in the woods.

- Now!
- You're going... What... Hold it!

- What time does the sun set?
- Hold on.

Can we please, for a minute, pretend
that we are rational people

with a healthy mistrust
of the metaphysical?

- 7:57.
- What?

Sun tracker app.

It really takes the guesswork
out of that whole...

"what time to hang the ham hock" game.

We don't have a lot of time.

- Till what?
- The moonrise.

The moonrise! You have
an appointment at a day spa

and you come back very, very cocky.

- I can do this spell, Aidan.
- Can you?

You should thank me, because
finally, one of us can help him.

Do you hear what you're saying?

I'm taking about taking Josh's
life into our hands.

We've already been through this, so
unless you have any better ideas?

Listen, this is way too
big to put your faith in.

I love her to death, and
she's great at things

like straightening her
hair and dental hygiene,

but this is a whole different thing.

I'm sitting right here.

Using spells to solve problems

only leads to other, usually
bigger problems down the road.

Or have you forgotten about the
time you bit my stomach off?

Stop it, OK?

I'm sorry!

I'm just as scared as you are. More!

But we have to do something.

We're trying to do something, but
does this have to be tonight?

We're losing him, more every day.

And the moon is, I don't
know, waning or something.

It's waning, yeah.

Waning. So,
apparently tonight is the night.

It's all in here.

I was meant to find
this. You can't deny it.

This sucker's heavy and I can't
even pick up a pencil.

Using Donna's witchcraft might
bring Josh back. It might.

I can admit to not understanding
that kind of power,

but also, something
could go very, very wrong.

You're his wife.

Are you willing to take that kind of risk?

Because it really shouldn't be up to us.

Let's do this.

All right, we're clear within five miles.

No Webelos, no necking
teens. I'm so tired of running.

So I'm not really sure how all
of this is gonna go down,

but I'm guessing it's gonna get screamy.

Great, so you gonna fill us in on the plan?

What is this kiddy pool
doing here, for example?

- That's for the spell.
- Of course it is.

OK, so, the key to getting
Josh back is the moon.

I mean, Josh is still human once a month,

when the moon is full.

That means that the wolf hasn't
taken him, not all the way.

Josh's transformation
is tied to the lunar cycle.

We already know that, Sally.

Tonight is a waning moon.

Witches and the moon they have
this deal, this connection.

During different phases, different
spells are the most powerful.

Why are you looking at me like that, Aidan?

I'm sorry!

During the waning phase is
when we cast spells of banishment,

to dispel what we no
longer wish to be burdened by.

We? OK, "we cast spells of banishment."

I mean, it just sounds very Jonestown.

- Could we get through this?
- I'm just saying.

Sally, carry on.

Oh, I'm actually done.

Harness the moon's power, fight the wolf.

Thanks, big magic book!

- So, what else?
- What?

What else? We need a
bat wing or a lizard's scale

or a heart of a dude you killed?

- Really?
- Sorry.

Blood. We just... We need blood.

We don't have any blood.

Sally, you should've told me this

before I left the house
that has a fridge full of it.

Not that kind of blood. We
need something more potent.

Sacred blood. Blood of the Goddess.

What?

Ugh, just say it!

What kind of poor, woodland
creature do I have to murder

with my bare hands just
to make the spell work?

We need a gal who's Aunt Flo's
making her monthly visit.

- Eww!
- I'm sorry!

The women's cycle is also tied to
the lunar cycle, as it happens,

and we just need the blood
to harness the moon's power!

What?

Um... I can smell it?

- Oh God!
- I'm sorry! Nora...

- Oh my God!
- I'm horrified!

So, is that, like, an ongoing skill set?

No! Well...

As in, all the time I've known you,

and all the time we've
lived together, you could...

It comes with the territory
of being a vampire!

There's not much I can do about that!

Great! Good to know. So, do I just...

Try to shoot for 5-7 ml.

- Ah!
- OK!

No, no, no! No, no. No.

As much as I respect what
it is you just had to do,

unfortunately, I can only hold this book.

Right. I'll just keep
holding onto it, then.

OK.

OK.

Oh!

OK, let's go.

Yeah.

Oh my God!

Sally! What are you doing?

We have to keep him still. The
dagger has to enter his heart.

- What?
- Excuse me?

You never said anything about stabbing!

- It's not him!
- This is insane!

He won't feel a
thing. Give me the tranq gun.

No. He has to be awake.

Come on! What's next? Are
we gonna light him on fire?

Let me do it.

No, no. Nora!

Just stay calm, OK?

That's it. Just stay calm.

Josh?

That's it.

I'm so sorry.

Oh! Ah!

Ah!

No. No, Josh. What happened?

Where are you?

Please, please, please! Come back, Josh.

Sally, why isn't it working?

Please tell me I didn't
just kill my best friend.

Sally?

Guys?

Guys, where are you?

What happened? Where is she?

She's gone again. She can't control it!

Aidan, why did I let her do this?

- We gotta find her. Sally!
- Sally!

Sally!

Guys?

OK. This is definitely an
upgrade from the snuff film.

Aidan? Aidan, what happened?

Where's Josh? Aidan!

Are you sleeping?

So, this layer of scum around
the kitchen sink is truly epic.

Josh. Josh!

Aaah!

You said you'd be in here doing windows.

- Ow!
- I'm sorry.

Did my little slap hurt you?

Oh, right, you eat people,
so you're probably fine.

My idea of clean and
yours, not the same thing.

Because you grew up in
an early American mud shack

with a dirt floor.

No, but in the 1700s, we kind caught on
to the idea of wood as a building material.

This happened!

I'm worried that this was a mistake.

All of this, this already happened.

We've had the keys for 7 hours.

We're not "vibe-ing."

We're not!

I need someone I can vibe with.

- Josh, I'll do the windows.
- Good, that's all I'm asking!

On one condition... Leave
my blood supply alone.

- Well, I'm not drinking it.
- You're organizing it!

We need a system!

It's blood in bags!

Martha Stewart hasn't
really weighed in on that.

Look, it's something
I enjoy! It relaxes me!

I thought I made that clear!

I'm traveling through time.

I'm sorry.

Uh, Nora?

Nora!

Nora! Nora!

Oh my God! Josh!

Oh my God! Josh!

Oh my God!

It's OK!

I'm here!

You're safe now. Do you hear me?

We'll always keep you safe.

Here you go!

Your blend, and it's loaded
with honey, just the way you like it.

There's not really any
food in the house though.

I've only been sleeping here when I
work back-to-back days at the hospital.

Aidan and I kind of worked out a schedule,

but I can go out and get you something.

Anything you want!

Even that jerky that's so high in nitrates

that it's too
dangerous for human consumption,

you know, if that's what you wanted.

I don't think I can eat right now.

Right. Uh, well, that's... that's OK!

Do you, uh, do you just
wanna, maybe, go to bed?

Is it time for bed?

I'm sorry! I'm... I don't know what to do.

I'm so happy you're home,
and I want to take care of you!

Yeah, I know! You are!

Nora, it's just..

Sally!

You're here!

What keeps happening to you?

Well, I can't just... Why...
How are you here right now?

I left you all in the woods
with an impaled werewolf corpse.

Well, you were gone! We
didn't know what to do!

So when Aidan realized that
Josh was inside of the wolf,

we just... we pulled him out!

You pulled him out?

Yeah! And it was really
gross, if you must know.

I wasn't finished, Nora.
The spell wasn't finished.

You shouldn't have
done anything without me!

- Why didn't you just...
- We didn't know where you were!

We couldn't just wait, not
after everything that he went through!

And besides, even if there
was more to it, Josh is here.

He's home! And it's all because of you!

I don't know! I mean,
the magic, it's all so new.

I'm just flying on instinct here.
What if Aidan was right?

Maybe I shouldn't have
messed with everything so soon.

Listen to me, OK? You were
right. You saved him.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

You OK?

I'm here.

You know, I think we should be celebrating
with something stronger than tea!

Yes!

Welcome home!

Hmm!

Aidan?

Hi, I know it's late. Um...

How did you find me here?

Oh, I only had to call a few hotels.

I knew that you would
want something with history.

Uh, but we didn't really get to
finish our talk the other day,

and there's a lot left
to be said, don't you think?

Sorry! Um, come in!

I don't really get to do a lot of inviting,

so it kind of saps the
etiquette out of a girl.

Is everything okay with your friend?

Yeah! Actually, things
seem to be on the upswing.

Thank you for asking.

Um, I guess, I just
needed to ask you again...

Why I stayed away?

And I know that I might
not have the right...

No, that's not true. Of course, you do.

I made promises to you.

So why didn't we... We could've tried...

Tried to build a life together,

and no matter how perverted
an existence it might've been,

it still would've been us.

No...

Not with Bishop by your side.

When he turned me,

he said it was a gift for you...

but you know that Bishop is a brutal man

and he mistreated me.

I would rather not talk about it.

He decided I was not worthy of his son,

and I had no choice but to believe him.

I got the sense that a son

was worth a lot more
to him than a daughter.

It, uh, it was a complicated relationship,

and it was all the way till the end.

I didn't believe it

when I heard that he was dead,

till they told me that you
were the one that killed him.

I know that this,

you and me here, is a lot,

but with Bishop gone and the
virus nearly wiping us out,

I had to come back home.

There was just too many
unanswered questions.

And I really meant

what I said to you all those years ago.

I wanted you to go on with your life.

I just didn't know that death
would take me from you so soon.

Hold on for a second. Can
I ask what's going on?

I don't really understand this.

What, we're just gonna
live in the same city,

and we're eventually, I don't know,

we're gonna settle in to
having a platonic meal together

or however many brunches it takes

for 2 people to catch up on
the past 2 centuries. Is that...

I think we just let
the past stay in the past.

Look, you have friends.

You have a home, a whole life,

something of your own.

And I'm really glad!

Good night, Aidan.

- Mmm... Hey!
- Hey!

Gripping stuff!

Evidently! I'm really sorry to wake you up,

but you're in my bed, so...

- Nora let me in.
- Ah!

Oh, I saw Josh! Nora seems so happy!

It's great news about
his mom pulling through.

Oh my God, yeah! Totally awesome!

I wanted to surprise you.

What?

OK, it's not as awesome a
reveal when there's highlighter ink

smeared all over the upper
portion of my body, but...

Where were you? Nora wasn't sure.

Uh, I was out for a walk.

I kind of figured I'd let the newlyweds,
you know, have a little space.

- Right!
- And...

You know, Kat, I've just been
doing some thinking. Um...

Hmm!

Kat, this routine that we have,

me coming home to you
and reading together in bed,

and me making you coffee in the morning,

it's become this...

Oh boy! We're there!

I think this is the fastest I've plummeted

from sexy, fun-loving couple

to the "read the newspaper in silence
over the breakfast table couple".

OK, shhh! What I'm trying
to say is that I like it.

You and me work. We're easy.

And this just all feels like life!

And not at all boring, but still
a fantastically ordinary...

- Hmm!
- Life.

Yeah, with the occasional twist!

Kat, I love you.

Twist!

Suzanna, you must feed.

Aidan?

For this moment, accept your nature
as you once accepted mine.

Feed, my love!

Just this once!

Isaac?

No! No!

Oh! Dear God! No!

He was an orphan.

This could be the better fate.

He's just a boy!

Save him! I know that you can!

He could still be my son!

I cannot trap him for
an eternity as a child!

Then kill me! Kill me now!

I cannot live like this!

Of all the praises I sing of our existence,

you must understand this...

There is no hope beyond this life.

That is why we must drink
what we can from this now.

This is our gift!

Beyond this, there is
nothing but damnation.

Do you understand?

What kind of life could I have?

This is not what I'd planned for you.

You must leave here! Leave
and never return!

This is my home!

My husband!

Still thinks you're dead and honourable!

Aidan is destined for greatness,

but this, this would ruin him!

I could not control myself!

There is a darkness inside of me.

How will Aidan receive
the murder of his only son?

Let this blood be our eternal secret.

It is the only way to keep Aidan from
feeling the pain that you are feeling now.

Will you just come to bed already?

In a minute!

I just want you to have the
most epic sleep of your life.

The only part I care about is
the part where I wake up next to you.

Well, in that case, I'm gonna go wash up!

Five minutes!

The guy hasn't slept on a
real mattress in 3 months!

Captain!

So, how you holding up?

Honestly, I don't even know

how to begin to answer that question.

Right!

Well, for example,

are you sick and tired of everybody
asking you how you're holding up?

And borderline nauseated by the idea
of one more well-intended pleasantry.

Don't tell my wife.

Wife! Squee!

That's a nice word!

So, you know why I've been away too,

far away, to other places,

other dimensions actually.

A couple times now.

And Josh, I can't even,

I can't even guess at what
it must've been like for you

when the wolf had control,

but I do know that, for me,

there was a lot of pain involved,

the kind of pain that you can't
begin to explain to anybody.

So it might take a bit, and that's OK,

'cause we'll wait.

You would tell me, right,
if there was something wrong?

You know that you can
talk to me about that.

I'm exhausted.

OK!

I'm just gonna call it a night.

OK! OK!

Sally!

Thanks for getting me back.

Hey, you saved me first.

That's what 'bros do!
