Being Human (US) s02e09 Episode Script

Previously on Being Human I got my residency at SCH.
The hospital? The one that I work at? What I really wanted was to see you, hear from you, why you left.
The night Stu died, when I was mauled, the attack changed me.
Reaper You could take my job and be a reaper.
Ah! You'll reap your first soul tomorrow.
Maybe I can do this.
Suren knows about me? That I'm back? - You want him at your side? - Yes.
If you wanna buy your way back into this court, Mother's going to want her pound of flesh.
Of course, a vampire wouldn't die from this.
- Your skin will grow back.
- Henry is my blood.
And he had better be alive when I come back for him.
Who is it? I don't know.
You always check.
Old Sally checked.
I need you to invite us in.
You mean, you need me to invite him in.
- I thought we didn't do that.
- This is different.
This is Henry.
Uh, it was a long time ago, but I made him, Josh.
He's my son.
Did you make him without skin? I need a place where I know he'll be safe, that's here, please.
The bonds you form with some will make you look past anything, ignore what they've become.
Fine.
Please, a little bit more, huh? Enter, I invite thee.
Mi casa su-- That'll do.
You'll hang on to the version you wanna remember, not the one in front of you now.
I can't deal with this.
I'm late for work.
Me too.
I don't wanna sound like an infomercial, but attitude is everything.
To do this right, you need to lose the ambivalence.
You-- you act like it's easy to kill your own kind, to stand there and watch while you shredded Stevie.
I never said it was easy.
I said it was necessary.
Either way, a ghost is gone, somebody just like me.
This has to be done, but it doesn't have to be cruel.
After all, we're reapers, not monsters.
Somebody kills a body, and their soul's still left.
But when you do what we do-- - He needs to go.
I know.
Walter Walter Go find your own kid.
He's mine.
Hey! What the-- - You said you were done possessing.
So, I slipped once.
I'm sorry, Walter.
Reapers don't apologize.
Come on, Sally! Think how that reflects on me.
What are you talking about? Walter, it's time for you to go.
Ooh, a catch phrase.
I like it.
Get out of my face.
I can control it.
Not today you didn't.
Not yesterday with that waitress or last week with the bus driver.
- You're never gonna stop.
- Do it.
- Sally, stop! - That's it.
Shred him! Stop! Sally! Oh, come on! What did I teach you? - Strike.
- No, please! Not my best work, but you get the point.
Friends, parents, mentors, we hold on to that idealized image of them, even if it's an illusion.
Because if we can't believe in them, what does that say about us? Excuse me.
Hey, what's this all about? Sexual-harassment seminar's today.
It's mandatory.
Shoot me in the face.
Hi.
Hey.
Uh, that coffee's toxic.
Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah.
Josh, wait.
We can't be these people.
Which people? The coworker exes who talk about cafeteria food and give "what up" nods in the hall.
Yeah, those people suck.
Yeah.
So, I've been thinking, you were a lousy fiancé, but you were a pretty decent friend.
Thank you? Look, Josh, we were friends a lot longer than we were engaged.
- Yeah, I know.
- Friends we can do.
Oh, and all that rage you say you've got, I don't see it.
Your bark was always worse than your bite.
Remembering that best version of our friends reminds us that we were that promising once, that strong, that alive.
Stu? Hey, Levs! Heh! Stu I can't believe you're here.
How have you been since Since you convinced me to go camping with you that night? We've got somebody alive over here! I've been dead, Josh.
How about you? Man, you have no idea how many times I wish I had you around to talk to.
Yeah? You could have tried to find me.
Um To be honest, once I found out that ghosts are real, I didn't really wanna see you.
You really know how to make a guy feel missed.
No, that's not what-- I just meant that I'd hoped that you'd gotten your door and moved on to something better than Josh, my dad never said, "I love you.
" And my mother basically cut my food for me until I went off to college.
So I am the king of unresolved issues, life and afterlife.
No door for me.
So what did you do? I stayed pissed at you for far too long for, uh, surviving and leaving.
Well, I don't know how you got over it, but I'm glad you did.
The grab was flawless.
The kid barely knew he'd been possessed.
You've gotta make sure the shred is just as clean.
You make it sound so clinical.
It should be.
If you linger, they start in with the whining and the lying.
It gets awkward for everyone.
You're still not sold.
It's just when Walter said that it was a one-time thing, or when Stevie told me that he didn't kill Boner and his friends, how do we know who's telling the truth? They all lie.
Wouldn't you to save yourself? Maybe.
What if we make a mistake? There are no mistakes.
Once you take over, that'll become clear.
How? Commit and the worries will go away.
Will that be a problem? No.
Good, because the next reap is all yours.
How did you even find me here? Remember DUI Dave? Always riding a stool down at Durgen's? Yes! He took out when he drove into the gorge.
I remember that guy.
Yeah, that's the one.
Well, homeboy's, like, a clearing house for the supernatural now.
So I heard through the ghost-vine that you're a werewolf? You're kind of a big deal back home.
Right.
I'm huge in Ithaca.
- Right? - Yeah! You know, sometimes I wish I hadn't left so fast, but the whole wolf thing kind of spun me out a little bit.
Yeah, that night messed up a lot of us.
Your parents got even weirder.
Tell me about it.
Julia Yeah, but she's doing better.
I mean, s-she even wants to be my friend.
Yeah, I--I would pass on that Why? Well you guys are both all-in kind of people.
I was.
I was.
I am not anymore.
Yeah.
No, for real.
I-- I went all in with my last girlfriend, Nora, and-- and now she's gone.
She's gone away or she's gone, dead? No, she's alive.
And she's a wolf.
Yeah.
She wants nothing to do with me.
So I guess Julia actually got off easy? Yes, she did.
And don't worry, nothing is gonna change that.
Julia and I are officially ancient history.
I know you have one around here.
One? One what? A stake.
No, no.
You're gonna get better.
You're strong.
No, I'm not.
I never was.
Hey, you made it You can make it through this.
Why? SI can screw up again and make your life worse like I always have? Not always.
What have we got here? Cleared a whole trench by himself.
I've never seen so much blood.
How many entry wounds are there? Lost count at a dozen.
You deal with him.
I'm afraid you're stuck with me.
Let's see what we have here.
Dear Lord He'll be gone west by morning.
Don't go wasting good morphine on a dead man.
Take them out.
- What? - The bullets! You heard him.
I'm dead anyway.
Get them out! Wait here.
Uhuh! I'm not babysitting the meat-sicle.
It's not like he's gonna throw a rager.
He's not getting any better and he needs food.
Are we talking takeout that comes in a bag or the kind with a pulse? You know what? Never mind.
Bring him a herd of cattle.
What do I care? Hey, Sally.
- Boner? - You seen Stevie? We know all about Boner.
- He's still here! - Where is he? But Stevie shredded you.
That's news to me.
Who told you that? He shredded them, Sally.
Dylan, Boner.
Stevie lied to you.
Someone who should know better.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
'Cause you don't look OK.
No, I'm fine.
Um So-- so the other guys at Jasper's, Stevie didn't shred any of them? The only one Stevie shredded was Dylan, and that was to protect you.
Who told you that stuff about Stevie? A ghost reaper.
That's who told me.
You never saw him at Jasper's? No.
Is he after Stevie? Not anymore.
Good.
If you see Stevie, tell him to come hang out with us again.
Nobody's seen him lately.
Offensive conduct doesn't even have to be sexual.
Language, singling out somebody based on gender-- Even staring, if it's combined with threatening behaviour.
Now-- now, that all being said, we know that coworkers are gonna have sexual relation I'm sure that some of you already have.
But most harassment cases happen when there's an unequal power dynamic.
Like, between, say, a doctor and an orderly.
to make sure that it's put to a stop before things get out of control.
- Man speaks the truth.
- I get it.
Now Everyone is looking at you.
It's the story of my life.
Try getting left at the altar.
So, I have a little rule when it comes to sexual harassment, especially if you've been warned.
And that is, when in doubt, cut it out.
If you have any questions, you can always come to me to my office for a private one on one.
That's not at all creepy.
I guess we'll just wait until our co-workers are finished.
Oh, good! They've finished.
Now, what exactly is harassment? - Oh! - No! I don't wanna leave.
OK, that's not what I'm saying.
What you were thinking is not what I'm saying.
The dog could not be persuaded to go Come on! This is it? I thought there was a party.
There is now that you're here.
Come on.
You're cute but not that cute.
I'm saving threesomes for marriage.
Sorry! That's not what I mean.
No, no, no Actually, you're coming inside, because you can't wait to give my friend Henry whatever he needs.
Why are we wasting time out here? Yeah! Henry needs us.
Let's go.
Before you meet Henry, there's one little thing I forgot to tell you.
Why is there always a catch? No, this is very, very good.
Henry is the most handsome man that you've ever seen.
"And everyday, I, a curious boy, "never too close, never disturbing them, "cautiously peering, absorbing, translating.
" Do you have any Zane Grey? You don't like Walt Whitman? Hmm No, I liked him just fine.
Your wounds are healing on their own.
- I've got to show a doctor! - No.
Mmm-mm.
But it's a miracle.
How did you survive out there? I killed them before they killed me.
You joke about it, but I could never do what you did.
I wish I had a 10th of what you have.
What does it feel like to take a life? You seem a od man, Henry.
Be thankful that you don't know.
How many have you killed? I lost count a long time ago.
Private, I hear you speak frog.
Come make yourself useful.
Yes, sir.
I don't think one of them is gonna make it.
Can't stop all this blood.
Let's open up his shirt.
Oh my god! Why did you bring them? He's so beautiful.
Sorry, Sally.
Now's not the best time.
Three sets of twins in one night! It's like serial mayhem in here! Can we please focus on the Reaper right now? Nick.
Look, OK, if he was lying about Stevie, then he could be lying about other things, right? I wish I was more help.
I've spent my whole life with ghosts.
But this reaper stuff is new to me.
Babe? Yeah, babe? Uh, what about your ghost group? Worth a shot.
It is disturbing how much they know.
You know what? You should go there tonight and ask.
OK, yes.
Great, great.
Are you not gonna be there? Uh, no, I don't need it anymore.
I'll be home as soon as group's over.
But no watching Real Housewives without me.
OK, you both need to stop! You're more persuasive than I remember.
Eat.
Absolutely.
He's been at this all night.
Can you make any sense of it? What's got him so riled up? He's talking gibberish.
Must be shell shock.
Oh, I don't know.
I love ortho.
I just don't want to have to deal with all the "fratty" ortho guys.
Maybe I'll just chuck it all and go podiatry.
What? Feel like an ass.
Why? Because you scratched and lost? No.
Because I'm talking about med school in front of you.
I love hearing about it.
Exactly.
You closed the science library down every night.
And you killed the MCATs.
I mean, there is no world in which you should not be a doctor.
Well, other things-- Thank you.
Other things became more important.
Like winning Orderly of the Year? I like my job.
No, you don't, or you wouldn't be doing the tap thing.
I don't do a tap thing.
Yes.
Yes, you surely do.
Whenever you got stuck talking boating with my dad or modern dance with my roommate, you'd be polite and tap your glass and hate every second of it.
Yep! I reapplied, even got in.
Josh, why aren't you going? I ju-- I couldn't-- I couldn't go through with it.
There was this thing with Nora and now there isn't, and you know You realize you just cried on the shoulder of the woman you dumped about the woman who dumped you? Whoa! Somebody just stepped in it.
I'd like to retract, uh, erase or demolish the last 30 seconds, if I may.
No.
It's actually kind of nice.
I like it.
I-- I don't like it.
But I like hearing my weird, old friend, Josh who hasn't changed nearly as much as he thinks he has, and who I wish I got to see more of.
Whoa! Stay strong, Levs.
Keep it together.
Avoid direct eye contact.
This is the time when I should probably leave.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
I should definitely-- Didn't see that coming, but I guess I should be used to this.
No, I just meant we're good, right? Friends, check.
Talked about my ex check.
It's nice having you not hate me.
Ooh, ooh, ooh The fire is burning No chance of returning How does such keep me lacking? Love and affection I'll see you.
A sense of direction High and low Yeah.
Good, good.
But I think we might wanna reassess.
Is that a fact Uh You know what? Oh my god! You are so beautiful! Ah! Wait a second.
Wait.
What? Is this-- Is this the worst idea ever? Oh no.
No, no.
No, this is the best-- the best idea ever.
OK.
I've-- I've never wanted anything so much in my life, so yeah Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, yeah Oh, oh, oh, no Oh, crap, crap, crap Hey.
Just being honest.
Not my proudest moment.
What did you do? You, me, out.
- What? Now? - Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
Yeah.
Oh my god! At what point did you decide that using my body to have sex with my ex is something that just had to happen, Stu? Uh, probably somewhere during the goodbyes.
I'm sorry! I just couldn't stop myself.
Really? Because you stopped me all day long.
And of all the women, Stu! All the women that you could've done this too-- I love her, Josh.
There it is.
What? I-- I-- I have ever since senior year.
We-- we were all friends, yes, but I I loved her first.
But you never even asked her out! That's because I over-think things and then don't act upon them.
It's kind of my move, and plus, I thought she'd say no.
But you were the one who told me to ask her out.
Yeah, but in all fairness, I thought she'd say no to you too.
No offense.
And she didn't.
And then all of a sudden, "Hey, Josh and Julia!" And then you're engaged, and I'm stuck in a plaid dress shirt for eternity.
You didn't come to the hospital to see me.
You were following Julia.
When you left Ithaca, it was the first time that I had her to myself.
So what? So this is, like, your thing, then? You just go around possessing guys so you can have sex with her? No, man! No? No? It's so much lamer.
I-- I-- I-- I wanted her to look at me the way she used to look at you.
OK? So would I.
Those days are gone.
That's what I thought, too, until last night.
Josh, listen to me.
I have watched her for so long.
And when I saw the way that she looked at you, I knew this could be my last chance, and you, you were just gonna let it go.
- Because you were hounding me! - Hey, we're Because you were right.
You have no idea what I could do to her.
If I'm not careful, no-- You-- you say you have a curse, because once a month you lose it.
But you're still alive.
And if you wanted, if you wanted, you could have Julia look at you like that for the rest of your life.
I would trade my curse for yours any day.
No.
You say you love her, but look what you did.
Now, I either bring her in closer or I break her heart.
Either way, I destroy her.
Now, which one goes first? Ah! Mm-mmm, no.
Why do you think I brought 2 of them? Each one gives a little, everyone goes home happy, OK? Why are you still talking? Shhh! You're right.
Let's just stick to the good stuff.
Ah! Oh, Holly.
Um, you're bleeding.
No, I'm not.
- OK, um, we have to go.
- Oh - Hey, hey.
- No! Everything's fine.
You're having the time of your life.
There's so much blood.
Please let us go.
We won't say anything.
Help! Someone, please! Somebody! There's just blood Oh! Somebody help! Somebody, come! Oh, God! Fivesecond rule.
Stop! Stop! Arrête! Please don't let me die.
You don't wanna die? Well, you never will.
Get the MDs! Move, move! Run! Get out of here! Ah! Hello? Zoey? Zoey! Had to start without you.
What are you doing here? Where's the group? How did you find out about this place? You still think you can keep things from me, especially something this good? What happened? Where is everyone? Gone, like they should be.
Oh, right! Ha! Not everyone.
Sally.
Why? You killed all of them! How could you? How could I not? Talk about one-stop shopping.
Five minutes and I filled my quota for the week.
They were getting better! What are you talking about? No one gets better.
Don't you know that by now? Look, Sally, sometimes I feel like you don't listen, and that hurts.
Zoey, I'm so sorry.
I didn't-- - Stop it.
This is all your fault! Give me a little credit.
Oh, God! I am done! I don't care what you do to me.
I am never gonna be like you.
It's cute when you act like you have a choice.
The only path you take is the one I choose for you.
Zoey, I-- You stay the hell away from me! Come back to bed.
I don't think that's a good idea.
And if you wanna throw something at me, I won't even duck.
Scoot over.
What? Well What are you doing? Going back to sleep.
Yeah, I can see that.
But why? Because I'm tired.
Mmm, you're warm.
And since you're more screwed up than I am, what are you gonna do, judge me? Congratulations.
For what? You are the lone survivor of Casualty Clearing Station 54.
What did you do to me? I used them.
I used them to make us better.
Oh, and Henry I saved you some.
What are you talking about? Come, now.
You said that you wanted to know what it was like.
You went to sleep weak and you woke up strong.
Now, it's gonna take some getting used to.
What do you want me to do? Henry He's wounded and he's suffering and he's going to die anyway.
Just this once.
I told you I can't kill men.
I know.
But that was before you met me.
So this is what it's like being part of a well-oiled machine.
Suren must be happy.
I have my own reasons.
You did all this for me.
You haven't eaten.
You must be starving! Let's get some "breakie".
You do whatever you want.
I'm out.
Come on! This is the best I've felt in decades.
It'll be like old times.
Hey, I'm Josh.
We met yesterday.
Thanks for the invite.
You're Henry.
You look so much better.
Catch you later, Aidan.
Only one thing would make him heal that fast.
What happened in there? Oh! No, please, no.
OK, you can do this.
Cleansing breaths.
OK.
Nick.
Nick, you shouldn't be here right now.
Zoey told me what happened.
I didn't know he was gonna kill them! Who would kill them? The Reaper! Look, either you help me salt us in, or you get out of here.
- It's OK.
- You need to get out.
It's OK.
We're gonna get you help.
Then you won't do this again.
I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything.
It was him! Sally! There is no reaper.
I know I screwed up, but I never brought it here.
He didn't have anyplace to go.
You know how many places I've got where there's no pretense, where just being isn't exhausting? One.
This house, with you and Sally.
I've almost earned my freedom once and for all.
But I said it would get messy.
No, no, no.
There's messy, and then there's this.
This will never happen again.
We'll get it back to the way it was.
Don't worry.
He's right behind you.
No, there is nobody else here.
- He's right behind-- - It's gonna be all right.
Let go of him! He didn't do anything.
He thinks he can have a human, flaunt it in our face? Please don't do this.
Stop it! Stop! I'm not gonna do this.
I'm never gonna be like you.
Don't you get it, Sally? You are me.
Here's how it goes.
Usually a ghost is around just long enough to have a little fun.
But the longer a ghost circles the drain, crazier the ghost.
What do you want? - I'm unbalanced? - Yes! You passed up your door and you possess! I don't need your help! You're crazy! Who are you? You know exactly who I am.
Sally! There is no reaper.
You are an interesting case, Sally Malik.
What do you mean? You're special.
You really thing so? Sally.
Sally! Sally, Sally.
Let him go.
You don't want to do this, Sally.
I think I do.
Oh and, boys, Sally isn't here anymore.
- What did you do? - He had to go.
They all did.
You don't get to decided that.
Somebody has to.
Somebody has to tell them that they don't belong here anymore, that it's time to stop holding on.
Sally, you belong here with us.
Oh, that's so sweet.
You sound just like Nick.
Is that how you want to treated? Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh! No! Aidan! She's not kidding around, man! What's going on? We're not sure yet.
Are-- are you OK? I think-- I can't-- Can you, um Yeah, of course.
No, no.
- What? - Uh-uh.
Mm-mmm.
Guys, let me out.
Guys, come on.
I said let me the hell out of here!
