Being Human (US) s02e12 Episode Script

I used to be afraid of the dark.
When you're 6 years old, a shadowed bedroom can seem as terrifying as the night sky must have seemed to the ancient men.
And those things said to go out in the night, they can feel just as real.
The turnaround on this particular betrayal is awful fast even for you I was only following your advice.
To return to the fold everything mother asks of me.
I'm sorry, old friend.
but an order's as order.
I'd imagine something was hiding in the dark corners of my room A monster, a ghost I'd bolt upright in bed, terrified, screaming for my mother Zoe where the heck are you? Eventually I grew up, got over it, learned that if I could just hang on, the sun will always rise again.
But then everything changed.
And the night, dark, came to mean something very different.
That the turn was coming.
You smell it too, don't you, Josh? If you kill him, you're free.
Something's coming.
Is this what you're looking for? You know you don't have it in you.
So the childish night terrors came right back.
Because now, I'm one of those things that go bump.
Hey, hey, hey, hey This isn't over, Aidan.
Mother will keep coming after you.
Then that ability you have to endear yourself to the royal family has finally paid off.
If they'd sent anyone else, it would've ended differently.
She will send someone else! And they'll keep coming after you until Suren's back home, tied up in Mother's apron strings.
Let me help you.
I managed to stay hidden for the better part of a century.
Together, we have a fighting chance.
But you have to leave her behind.
Henry, I'm not leaving her behind.
Then you're dead.
I appreciate what you did back there, but I do have a few years on you.
I'm familiar with the struggle to survive.
Mother's offer might've been vindictive, but you have to admit, this is what you always wanted, to live among humans, to be free of all of this.
Freedom on her terms is no freedom at all.
Maybe I want more.
Is Suren really worth it? You know, Bishop used to say the same thing about you.
You're going back to Boston, kid.
Shhh! Shhh! It's OK, it's OK.
Listen to me.
I'm the outcast, not you.
You belong safely in on the inside, and you always have.
Now, this wound, it's deep and it will convince Mother that you put up a good fight.
And no one will be surprised that I stopped short of killing you, because it's like you always said: I'm nothing, if not sentimental.
Aaah! We have a talent for goodbyes, you and I.
Let's hope we don't have to wait another 80 years.
Of course I'm late again.
Wow! Our mornings are progressing at vastly different rates.
I'm still on 8 across.
I'm sorry.
I sort of have somewhere to be.
Don't you know how rare it is for a doctor and the lower-ranking hospital employee with whom she's is engaged in an inappropriate relationship to have simultaneous days off? Josh, it's Chelsea.
She's in town.
Oh, God.
For the record, the abject terror on my face isn't an entirely accurate reflection of how I feel about your best friend.
And I told her weeks ago that I was seeing someone, but I left out the part about how that someone is the demon man-child who ruins lives.
That's what she started calling you after you ran out on me.
Huh! Succinct.
I wanted to make sure that we were really together first, that this was gonna stick.
You know how she is.
Hence the abject terror.
You wanna tell Chelsea about us? But I also know that she'll go home and open that always-gigantic mouth of hers around Ithaca, which means it's just a matter of time before our parents are sobbing over the phone, insisting how they always knew we'd work things out someday.
So I wanted to make sure that you wanna tell Chelsea too.
I wanna say the right thing here.
Well, don't by-- - No, I won't.
I want this to work.
Please know that.
But yes, there are some things that I need to work out for myself.
'Cause I'm not-- I won't hurt you again.
OK? OK.
Look, the fact that you're addressing it-- - That's for us.
Yes.
That's what matters to me.
But you could also meet us for drinks at 4:00, get it over with.
It would mean a lot.
I'll call you.
Yeah.
:Extension 2362, Joanne Lawson Hey, hey! Hey, so fries at 10:00 a.
m.
I mean, yum! So I just came from maternity.
Maybe you forgot to salt the door.
Maybe I did.
OK, 'cause, um, I just thought that the whole, um, open-season-for-baby-jumping thing was something that we were trying to avoid, so maybe you should What? You're worried a ghost would act selfishly, use a human being to get what they want with no regard for the ramifications of their actions? Zoe, look I am so sorry for what I did to Nick.
It wasn't me.
I was sick.
You saw that.
And I'm getting better now.
If you don't believe me, just ask my roommates.
Was it the vampire or the werewolf? You know why I can't bring myself to keep protecting those babies upstairs? It's because of you, because of what you did to Nick.
No! Every time I see a ghost, I'm reminded that being a medium is what's kept me alone all my life, that it's a curse.
So you're on your own now, all of you.
If you want to lift this curse, you have kill Ray while he's still a man.
Dad! How's it going? Ready for school? Not gonna let me go, are ya? Thanks.
Bye.
Take care.
Have a good day.
Josh! See, I thought we had a sort of an unspoken agreement going.
You were the one who told me to get lost.
Remember? I'm sorry about how we left things.
I know we had our differences.
If that's what you wanna call turning your back on a brother.
A lot's happened since then, Ray, most of it decidedly unpleasant.
It turns out you were right about me, about denying the wolf.
And I have a 2nd chance now with a girl.
And you--you are the only other person I've ever met who's like me, so I-- - So you thought it might be worth reaching out.
I told you, didn't I? That you'd come looking for me, that one day, you'd get it.
Eh? We got a lot of catching up to do.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
I mean, the house.
My God! The job.
The business.
Yeah, it turns out that uncanny bond with nature can be milked for a pretty respectable income.
And me and my wife renewed the vows and everything.
I got 'em back, Josh.
My boy, too.
And I have a piece of advice for you.
You tell that girl of yours the truth.
Your wife knows about the wolf? Look, when I turned, I ran out on them, right? But as lonely as I was, I knew Val had to be hurting too.
There were tears, sure.
But she and I, we worked through it.
And now I get to live my truth, Josh.
I gotta shackle myself in a steel-paneled basement once a month, but we all got something, right? I'm happy for you.
Why don't you look me up sometime? There's no reason we can't be friends.
Where were you? I'm starving in this motel! Though its variety of peanut- butter crackers is impressive, the vending machine's running low on fresh blood.
Hang on a little while longer.
Henry won't give up our location.
No! But when we go outside, we risk exposure.
I'll be back when I've secured a hiding place.
You'll have blood then.
No! I won't sit here like some damsel waiting for you to rescue me! I can fight my own battles.
But after today, we won't have to fight anymore! I have to go back.
Mother will do anything to control me, and that means as long as we keep running, your life is in danger.
No, no! You just need to trust me.
Suren, this can work.
Where we're headed, it's isolated and it's off the grid, and it's the only place where we can be truly free of her reach.
Something happened to you.
No.
Hey, hey, hey.
Nothing's gonna happen to me, OK? I just need you to wait here.
OK? Can you do that? All right? We're almost on the other side of this.
Hurry, please? And then there were two.
Did--did you find Zoe? Suffice it to say that if this was AA, step 9 would be my Everest.
Hey.
Oprah me.
- If you were a woman - Hmm! of the blood and guts variety, and therefore entirely unaware of the totality of the supernatural world-- - Ah, the bliss! Right.
Would you want to know if your boyfriend had this revolting secret that borderline ruined his life on a daily basis, or would you rather remain blissful but never have the chance to completely understand him? Well, as difficult as it is for me to crack that brilliantly disguised hypothetical why would you wanna tell Julia about the wolf? Thought everything was hearts and rainbows there.
- That's exactly why.
- Well Well, Julia isn't just some JDate who made it to coffee number two.
You don't get back together with the woman who you left at the altar if you're not pretty sure you're totally committed.
Well, are you? Because this is life-changing information.
But lying is what got us here in the first place.
Isn't it my responsibility to try to make things right, whatever it takes? What will become of the truth When we keep it in? The things we don't remember When they ask us When we did the things That we learned we shouldn't do again Maybe this is my heart And maybe it is yours Look at what they praise Nothing If I wanna leave I will Stand on my feet I do It only takes these words You never believe are true You have to wait.
They're not to be woken before sundown.
Which one is he? No? I guess I'll have to cut them all open.
Stop, please! I don't have time to wait.
You wake him up now.
Hey! Hi! Chelsea.
Ha! Mmm! She took it that well, huh? I don't know what you expected.
Or maybe you didn't realize the duty of calling each of your 196 wedding guests and breaking the news that the KitchenAid Stand Mixers were theirs to keep would fall on the Maid of Honor.
Chelsea, please! We talked about this.
No, it's-- It's OK.
I deserve that.
See, Jules? We're on the same page, Josh and I.
Well, then, now that you got in the allotted jab, we can get down to the business of brokering peace.
Absolutely.
To peace.
To peace.
It's good to see you.
Mm-hmm.
No, I-- I mean it.
I know what it must've been like when I left, that Julia wasn't the only person that I hurt.
I wouldn't have agreed to come today if I couldn't look you in the eye and tell you that I'm sorry.
And I'm not going anywhere this time, OK? Can I get you guys another glass of wine? Actually, I think we'll take a bottle.
Great.
Oh I realize it's an unorthodox request, but Suren and I aren't planning on staying here hidden forever.
It's just until it's safe to move on.
Crossing Mother by hiding the recognized leader of Boston, her daughter? It's not a risk you can expect us to take.
Word is your purebred trophy helped you rise through the ranks of the Dutch.
To a well-deserved seat on the council, yes.
You enjoying the perks of your new gig? I know Hegeman did.
If you're suggesting I haven't earned my way Oh, come on.
We were both there, Atlee.
But I just wonder how your brothers would react to hearing the truth of how you avenged his death.
- How many are there? - Four.
- We can't survive! - Go to Pennsylvania, coward! I'd rather return a coward than dead! I did Mother's bidding.
Look at me.
Hegeman did Mother's bidding.
Look at him.
Have you asked yourself where Mother was when Hegeman died? Where Mother was when you asked for justice? I was the only one who stepped up to help you and what did I do? I delivered the pelt that gave you control of the Dutch.
Let us agree that I am in your debt, but this-- - This is how you repay me.
Only this, only now.
Now is the moment that we settle.
They'll need convincing.
Well, it's a good thing they're your leader.
And to them, you are the heretic loathe to conform to our ways.
What can I do? They'll be up soon and hungry.
They'll want food, fresh food.
What does that have to do with me? Bring it now.
What do you think of the wine? Don't start again, Chels.
Cayuga Lake Wine Trails, senior year? Oh, come on! In my defence, I didn't have a lot of tasting experience back then.
Probably because of the fact that the name on your fake ID was Fabio Cortez.
- I'm gonna use the ladies room.
- OK.
- Try not to kill each other.
- Yeah.
It takes a determined man to declare that the water served to cleanse the palate between tastings has a refreshing bouquet of nutmeg and honeysuckle.
You say "determined", I say "drunk".
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
It's just, uh this is exactly how things were a few years ago.
A couple bottles of wine, Julia with that look she gets around you, like you invented penicillin or Spanx.
You want me to apologize for making your friend happy? No.
I want you to keep making her happy.
I need you to keep making her happy.
That's why I'm here.
What about you? Julia may have wanted to broker peace, but I'm here to warn you, Josh.
You made her happy before, for a lot of years.
But then all of a sudden, you were gone.
She almost had to drop out of med school because she couldn't get out of bed in the morning.
I know what this means, Julia telling me about the two of you.
It means that you've won her back.
She's all in.
So if there's anything left of whatever it is that came between the two of you, you're gonna tell her about it and soon, because a 2nd chance is tough enough.
There's no one left back home willing to give you a 3rd.
Well done, you two.
No bloodshed.
And the table's still upright and everything.
Sorry, Jules, but I've gotta take off.
What? No! We're not even drunk yet! I know! But the traffic getting out of the city is gonna be a nightmare, so Aw! OK.
Thanks for coming.
Ah! Oh! Bye.
Josh.
I'm really glad we did this.
Me too.
"The world will little note nor never forget "what we say here "while it will never forget what they did here.
" Yeah, that is some deep prose, huh? You tired of the great speeches in history? 'Cause I went to parochial school, so I know, like, half of the 154 sonnets and I got most of The Canterbury Tales on deck.
Enough.
Uncle, OK? Look, I know that I can never make up for what I did, but please don't use that as an excuse to turn your back on your gift.
Did Chelsea say something to you? - Things.
- Aw Several of them.
She's just protective of me.
It doesn't mean I feel the same.
Don't you, though? Isn't there a little part of you that still wonders if you can really trust me.
I want to.
And I'm almost there.
We can make it this time.
You just have to keep being honest with me.
What's going on? It's an eclipse.
What the hell? Oh! Sally, no! Walter.
He's back.
- Julia, there's something-- - Is everything all right? I need to tell you the whole truth.
- But you're-- - No! Walter! Walter! Josh, what's the matter? What's happening? You have to talk to me.
Are you having pain in your chest? What's wrong? Josh! Don't just stand there! We have to help him! He's not supposed to be here, Zoe.
What? What are you talking about? I He's been shredded, Zoe.
I killed him.
- It's the eclipse.
- Why? It's something about the duality of the sun and moon.
It messes with the order of things.
It skews the planes of paranormal existence.
When I was a kid, I went on this field trip to watch one through a filtered telescope and it just started happening.
Ghosts started appearing.
Walter, where did you come from? It was here.
Here in the park.
That's where I did it.
Zoe.
I shredded Walter and he reappears in the exact spot that he died.
Oh my God! Nick.
He's at my house.
I'll meet you there.
Hurry.
Nick? - Nick? - No! No! - Are you OK? - No, no, no! It's OK.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Danny! Josh! Josh! Nick, I am so, so sorry.
Please, please believe me! It's me, Sally.
Sally? Nick, it's OK.
Just hold on, OK? Keep talking.
Tell me what happened.
Uh, I was gone.
It all ended, but only for a moment.
I lost my body.
But my mind, I-- I still knew that I existed, that somehow I had survived, but in another place.
You were somewhere else? Somewhere better? Like heaven? No.
It's like I'm trapped forever.
I can see, but there's nothing to see.
It's some kind of limbo.
And the pain! I can't go back, Sally.
- Josh! - Aaah! Josh! No, go back! No! Whoa! Josh! Josh! Look at me.
Please! Josh No, Julia! You did this to me, Sally.
- You can't make me go back there.
- Nick, I-- - Please! I need your help! I can't! I don't know how.
Nick? Oh my God! I thought I'd never see you again! There's a solar eclipse and wherever you are, whatever happened to you, I think its energy is merging our 2 planes.
How much time do we have? I don't know.
Maybe a few minutes.
I got here as fast as I could.
Sally? You sure are a sight for sore eyes.
Me? Wow.
It must really be bad in there.
It's so bad, it's like you knew where you were sending me.
Nick, I need to know.
You have to tell me where you are right now.
I mean, are you OK? I just need to hear the truth.
Zoe, you are the first thing since I died, the first thing that made sense.
You saved me.
But, uh Now I'm at peace.
And I think I'm in a better place.
So you don't have to worry about me anymore.
Is everybody there like you? Were they all-- - Shredded? No, not all.
Some of them just went through the wrong door.
And others Well, let's just say, limbo -- That's what we're calling it -- has its share of undesirables.
But who are we kidding, Sally? It's nothing I don't deserve.
I miss you so much.
I never thought I'd be so happy to get a chance to say goodbye to someone.
Goodbye.
I won't forget you.
Are you OK? It doesn't matter.
Nick is OK.
So I will be too.
Thank you.
Suren, I-- I've been living like this For a long time Fumbling towards you In the dark I can't go on In this way forever Mother? Won't you call out to me? Call me now You were right.
This is where I belong.
No, sir.
I live here.
Julia.
Oh, thank God you're-- What What are you? I'm a wolf.
A werewolf.
Why didn't you tell me? I couldn't! I didn't know how.
After I found out when I was turned the life I knew before ended.
The person I was died.
I didn't want you to have to face that.
I thought you were better off.
I was trying to protect you.
I will protect you from this.
I still can.
No, Josh, you can't.
It's too late.
I'm so-- I'm so sorry.
This was the reason all along why you left me.
He gave us sheets made of felt Tonight we're not alone I am not scared What is it? It's for you.
Out through the door of his office You love him I'm all alone It's OK.
Covered in gold Oh Oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh I loved you enough, Josh.
Oh You just never believed it.
Oh, oh, oh Oh The good doctor he loves Delphia Now that I'm gone I can know I was so wrong Ooh You died knowing he'll bury you Next to your love in the ground
