Being Human (US) s03e09 Episode Script

Previously on Being Human The spell that brought me back, I don't think it lasts forever.
I think I'm dying again.
He sustains me until he turns 18, and then, I give him his fangs.
I've agreed to turn Kenny.
I thought you weren't interesting in fathering any more sons.
I'm willing to do it to protect him from you.
This sickness, what is it? It's in the blood, right? After the lesions, it takes 2-3 days.
Thank you.
Kat's one of my closest friends.
Stay away from her, Aidan.
At last we meet.
Liam McLean.
- I killed his daughter.
- What happened to Brynn? What is that? Blood, infected with the virus.
I killed her.
Ah! No! Go! Go, go, go! Aaah! Ah! Now, you be good to your mother while I am gone, Isaac.
Please don't go.
I will return.
I promise.
Hey.
Hi.
What's that? Uh, I thought that I'd buy groceries and feed you, for a change.
I may have devoured everything in the kitchen last night.
There she is.
So for you, Josh spinach omelette, chicken sausage.
Holla at ya, boy.
And for you, Aidan, bubble blood.
Bon appetit! Yeah! All right.
Enough.
- What are you doing? - I'm going to work.
Work? Is that wise? You only have, like, a couple days left.
And I refuse to spend them moping here.
So fluorescent lighting and incontinent people are a better alternative? Look, I feel ok.
Really.
What I want now is just, uh one more day of being normal.
Working is exactly what I need.
I'm not sure how patients will react to being administered by a man with lesions on his face.
I could help with that.
Hi, it's me.
Not here.
Leave a message after the beep.
Oh, God! Oh, hello! I'm I'm so sorry, I didn't mean A beautiful morning to you.
Name's Pete.
Nora.
I've gotta hand it to you, Nora.
Tying that meat to the branch? - Very cool.
- Ha! Personally, I'm a vegetarian, but my wolf spent a good part of the night howling at that thing, right alongside with you.
- You're a - Vegetarian? Yeah.
Apple cheddar sammy? No thanks! I'm good.
Thank you, though.
- I really appreciate this.
- Well, of course.
I'm not gonna just let you rot away in front of us.
- You deserve better.
- Maybe.
Hey.
None of that.
When you come back, you're taking my room.
I'm not gonna watch you shrivel away in that basement hovel, ok? There.
Do you do you smell something? No.
Uh, ok, so I tried to match your skin tone as best I could, but the kit doesn't have "pasty white.
" You know, these hues are for making dead people look alive.
It'll do.
Thank you.
Ah I heard there were a lot more of us in the Boston area, so I figured I'd stop by, check out the scene, make a friend or two.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the rules and regulations of pack mentality.
Wolves think clearer when we're alone.
Really? Sure, wolves are only in packs when they're bonded by blood or love.
But, hey, if that's your thing, go for it.
You know what, I'm sorry, but I really have to go.
Can I give you a ride somewhere? No, I'm good.
That, right there? That's home.
Oh.
You think it's sad, don't you? No.
Mmm? Oh! Here.
You know what? You can, uh you can keep it.
- Yeah? - Yeah! Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ok, I understand that you don't get a lot of sun, but you're, like, translucent.
Wait a second.
You got that virus? But how? I I mean, you you only took blood from me and you were so careful about the whole thing.
I wasn't careful enough.
Kenny I won't be able to keep up my end of the bargain.
Ok, then you have to do it now.
Turn me now, because with my clean blood, I I don't know, I'll probably heal you, and we'll figure it out.
Uhuh.
No.
It's not worth the risk to you.
Not with this virus.
Either way, can't you see? This life wouldn't have been good for you.
No, no! Please don't go, Aidan! Aidan, don't go.
Please.
I can't live like this anymore.
I have to get out of here! Please Please.
- Goodbye, Kenny.
- What? Hey, did we finally get one? No, um no, the cheese was mouldy.
I mean, like, not the good kind.
I mean, even mice deserve a good meal before they kick it.
- What's up with the Band-Aid? - What? Oh my God! I called you! I know.
I thought you'd be home earlier.
I'm sorry.
There was this old man, I What happened? No.
- Liam.
- No.
What? How? How? He was torturing Aidan.
I had to get him out of there.
I knew I never should've let you go alone! This was Aidan's fight to have! How did he even let Liam get close enough? There's something else.
Aidan I I didn't think that you were on today.
I'm not.
Josh told me what you did for me.
Taking the blame for Brynn.
You didn't have to do that.
This had to end well for one of us.
I know you're running out of time and I know that things haven't, uh been great bween us.
But I just want you to know Oh.
- Go home.
- No, I can't, I just No, it doesn't matter.
I'll cover for you.
You shouldn't be here.
I'm sorry, I just thought I had more time.
Go.
Be with Sally and Josh.
Aidan? - Are you hurt? - No! Suzanna Oh! They said your entire unit had been killed! I prayed that they were wrong, that somehow, God would find a way to bring you back to me.
And he did.
You're here.
You're alive! I am here.
But I am not quite alive.
You got about 10 seconds to explain to me what the hell you're doing here.
I had to see this for myself.
I got a very interesting call from Kenneth just now.
He wants to renegotiate terms.
You leave him alone.
You've got what? A day? Maybe two.
I can smell the death on you.
And as for Kenneth, well, it looks to me like he's about to become a free agent.
Ah! Nick's been acting strange.
I mean, I know he's stuck at home and the only person he interacts with is me.
I used to think it was sweet, being the centre of his universe, but now I don't know.
It's it's getting intense.
Ok, wait.
Come here.
What do you mean? What are you talking about? When you and Nick were together, did he ever do anything odd? He bit me.
Ok, thank God.
I thought you were gonna go all "oversharus maximus" on me.
Thank you for not doing that.
Love bites are totally normal.
I thought so.
I I even kind of liked it, until he broke the skin.
He bit you that hard? Are you ok? Yeah, I'm fine now.
But Nick is always staring at me.
He doesn't know I know, but even when I'm not looking, I can feel his gaze on me constantly.
And it's not the sexy kind of staring.
I'm getting scared.
You sure I sure I can't get you something? Couple blood whores would be nice.
Just being here is enough.
Hey! I was on my way home and I bumped into - Kat! - Hi.
I'm sorry to just come in like this, but I was really worried about you.
I didn't want that.
Well, sketchily stealing off mid-conversation? I know.
I'm sorry.
It's my bad.
Mmay I ask what inspired you to invite one of our only "muggle" friends over during this particularly supernatural time? - She was worried.
- I know.
And with everything going on with Aidan right now, it just seemed like a peace offering, bringing her here.
It was a really nice gesture.
- It's just the timing is, uh - I know.
But I wanted to do something.
What's your deal? What, gambling? Drugs? I've seen it all, so you might as well be honest with me.
I don't have the greatest track record, admittedly, but I think you're better than that.
At least, you could be Excuse me for just a second.
Aidan? Aidan! Aidan, hey! Aidan! Almighty love Inspires my heart During the war, I dreamed of hearing you sing again.
The prettiest voice in in Corwich Shhh Suzanna, soon I will be gone.
- It will be better.
- Shhh! You will recover from this.
You must.
It is not worth the price.
- You need blood? - No! No.
I have already had to say goodbye to you twice.
I will not let you leave me again.
Hey! There you are.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry for getting knocked on your ass by the flu? It's not your fault.
You're gonna get some rest, drink plenty of fluids, and you'll be up and about and back to your sketchy ways in no time.
I wish I wish we had more time.
Ok, you're being awfully melodramatic.
- This will pass.
- There he goes again.
Looks like he's out.
Probably be out all night.
Yeah, we had this a few weeks ago, and we all just passed it around the house like you do.
Ok.
Um, I'll just let him rest then.
Thanks for coming by, Kat.
- How long does he have? - A few days.
Oh my God.
That's awful.
I'm so sorry.
And really, as much as I appreciate the company, don't you think that you should be there, with the guys? Yeah, um I actually just wanted to makeure that you're ok.
I'm fine.
I ate a mouse.
Oh, thank God.
Not the reaction I was expecting.
You're doing it too, eating small animals to stave off the deterioration.
- And you're ok with that? - What's there to be ok with? It's a small price to pay.
Humans eat animals all the time.
The only difference is that, for us, they need to be fresh.
I guess in the scheme of things, it isn't that bad.
No.
It's not.
We've been given a 2nd chance at life.
I'm not letting go.
- Hi there! - Hi! I thought I'd take you up on your invitation.
No time like the present, right? I made some chili! Wow! Great.
This is Pete.
Oh! Hi there! Yeah.
Hmm.
Homemade blackberry wine.
Goes down easy, packs a mighty punch.
Why do you insist on befriending every stray wolf you meet? I told him to stop by "some time.
" Well, that's a nice gesture.
I was not expecting him to stop by tonight.
Not tonight.
That's the I know.
But you don't have to worry, ok? Because he's not like Liam.
At all.
It'll take a few minutes to heat up.
Nothing worse than chilly chili.
Is this a bad time? I'm sorry about that, Pete.
Josh doesn't mean anything by it.
It's just we've got a lot, uh, piled up on us right now.
I'm all ears.
They're just mice Yeah, he's, uh he's resting.
That tea you made him worked.
Garlic, man.
Lets them be what they are.
No holding back.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry about your friend.
This past year, man, it's been rough.
Watching loved ones wither away like that.
You had vampire friends? Mm-hmm.
Not all of us are haters.
Thank you.
So I'm way up in the Caucasus Mountains.
Nothing around me but a field of daisies.
I've got a joint the size of my fist.
Full moon's up in an hour, and I'm thinking: "Aw, man, this is perfect.
Before I get weird, I'm gonna get weird.
" Yeah, yeah.
Next morning, I wake up to find the whole field's been decimated.
I mean, it's gone.
I was pooping daisies for a week.
You've really been everywhere.
It's amazing.
Well, travelling's always been my thing.
Heck, I got scratched while backpacking with my folks.
Mmm I was scared at first.
I was so young I tortured myself for years afterwards.
I let it derail everything I wanted from life.
I fought the change.
I hated my wolf.
It was a dark time.
- How old were you? - Fourteen.
- And now you're - 39.
When you've had the equivalent of a heart attack once a month for 25 years, well, it catches up to you.
It took me a long time to find peace with my wolf.
But Gordon and me are cool now.
Gordon? You named your wolf.
He has a name.
His name is Gordon.
Yeah, we're best friends now.
He's my permanent travelling buddy.
We respect each other's needs.
How's that even possible? Uh, I learned some tricks out there.
Have you guys ever tried meditation? That's how I first met him.
It's like a Buddha-under-the- tree kind of thing? - No.
Ha ha ha! - Well, I don't know! No.
You should try it.
I don't know, Pete.
I don't think now's really the time.
Well, with what your friend's going through, and what you're going through, it's the best time to try it.
Focus on your breath.
Now breathe in your intention then exhale.
In out.
In out just allow yourself to let go.
Well, that was a fun exercise in breathing.
My my lungs feel terrific.
- I thought it was pretty cool.
- Yeah.
So what did you see? Nothing.
The woods.
But you could sense he was there.
He's afraid of you, man.
He's he's what? Think about it.
You spend all your time and energy trying to kill him.
Of course he's gonna cower at first.
Try again.
I mean, you're stuck together.
Might as well get along, huh? Thanks for the great night.
- Thank you.
- Thanks for stopping by, Pete.
I miss the feel of the sun on my face.
Tall grass whipping at our legs.
Isaac's hand in mine.
He cannot know you have returned.
Not yet.
It will take time for him to understand what you have become.
You truly are a magnificent creature.
Beautiful.
I am a monster.
My youth is paid with blood.
A hawk survives on prey.
That does not make it monstrous.
Like you, it is a part of a natural order.
A part of God's plan.
Like you, it deserves a chance to live.
Hey - Hey.
- Hey.
- Aidan? - No! Aidan! Sally Is this it? Sally, get his arm.
Aidan, breathe, breathe, breathe! - Aidan! - Aidan! Breathe, breathe, breathe! Aidan! Aaah! Aidan! Aidan? Aidan? - What's happening? - Just wait.
Just wait.
You gotta see this.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh my God! I know! Aidan! How do you feel? Alive.
Remarkably.
A vast improvement, if you ask me.
- Best day ever.
- This is amazing! I don't understand! How? I don't know.
I I remember Sally coming in.
And then I felt like I was burning and I haven't felt anything like it since I was alive.
That was you beating the infection.
I didn't think dead things could do that.
Neither did I, but for some reason - Well - I don't know Pete gave you that garlic tea? - No.
Lots of us eat garlic.
- Well, Kenny blood.
No, the Dutch were big on untainted blood.
It didn't help them once they were sick.
Honestly, I don't care.
It's a frigging miracle.
You know, when you went into that seizure, I thought that was it.
Hold up, hold up, seizure? I went into a seizure? - Yeah.
- Hugely.
That's not what happens at the end.
Last time you got all Joker Face was when you drank from Josh.
But that was, like, 2 years ago? No.
No, it was last week, when Erin dosed your blood supply with her Werewolf blood.
Our instincts scream at us not to drink it.
But I've done it.
Twice.
So you drank from Josh and got immunized? Then you got a booster from Erin.
This is huge.
If this gets out Yeah.
Me beating this disease it's put you all in danger.
I wasn't supposed to survive this.
Yes, you were! Don't say that.
Liam expected me to die.
And now that I haven't I won't let him near you.
Neither will I.
Aidan? Holy crap! You're back! And you're better right? This is amazing! You have no idea So are we good? We're good, yeah.
The deal is back on.
But first, um I need you to make a call for me.
How the You know I won't give up until I figure it out.
Oh, I know.
You're as relentless ashe virus.
That's why we're doing this on my terms.
There's a vaccine, of sorts.
And I will tell you what helped me, but only if and I cannot stress to you enough how much I will make you suffer if you don't heed this warning only if you adhere to my conditions.
Yes.
Anything.
You don't even know what they are.
Does it matter? We're dying out here, Aidan.
That may not matter to someone who's rejected this community but I know who I am.
And I will do anything to preserve it.
First never go near Kenny again.
Even if he reaches out.
Never.
It's no secret that 2 of my friends are werewolves.
Josh Levinson and Nora Sergeant.
The vaccine is werewolf blood.
But Josh and Nora are off limits.
There are a lot of wolves in town these days.
It only takes a sip.
No one has to die.
But if I hear or even suspect that there are vampires sniffing around my friends I will tear your head off.
Say it.
Josh and Nora are off limits.
Why are you even telling me this? I thought you hated me.
Hated us.
We're part of a natural order.
Maybe we deserve a chance to live.
We shouldn't have to run scared from wolves anymore.
I can't believe how quickly you bounced back.
When I was alive and I had the flu, I'd be out for a week.
And then I was, like, a snot monster for a week after that.
What about you? How are you doing? I had a slight situation.
I ate a mouse.
- Really? - It was just one time, I swear! - Not judging.
- Good.
And the weird thing the weirder thing is that it helped me.
- I was starting to fall apart.
- Define "fall apart.
" Like, pieces of me were falling.
- Peeling, really - Rotting? No! I hate that word.
I'm sorry.
Um Sally, are you going to do this? Are you going to eat live flesh to survive? I can't do that.
I can't.
I got a 2nd chance.
I got one more opportunity than I was supposed to have, than anyone is supposed to have.
I lived while I could, but the price for hanging on is just too high.
How long till I need something more substantial than a mouse? I can see the slippery slope from here and I'm not going down it again.
I'm not.
So I'm just cutting myself off now before it gets out of control.
- Cold turkey? - Mm-hmm.
- It's gonna be hard.
- I know.
I'm just gonna live while I can and let go when it's time to let go.
I want to be with you forever.
I cannot do that to our son.
When I have been in the ground for years and years, you will still be young, handsome.
- And alone.
- No.
Promise me this when love finds you again And it will you will not run from it.
Why else should one live forever, but to love, and love again? Kat Aidan! You look Wow, I I was coming to visit you.
I wanted to see if you were doing ok Damn leeches don't know when to give up.
I'd say that's our finest quality.
I know you're here! You're beautiful.
Nick? Oh my God.
It's ok, babe.
I know how to make it better.
- What's wrong with you? - Nothing! I I just have to eat, that's all.
- But I'm still hungry - Aaah!
