Being Human (US) s04e03 Episode Script
Lil' Smokie
Previously on Being Human.
I want you to turn me, in what you are.
What did you do? Run! I saw your father today.
Aidan? Did you tell him? That his little boy's grown up to run Boston? - No.
- Ok, good.
I lost my best friend.
- I think I can help him.
- What do you say? Donna's magic is what got Josh into this.
I'm so sorry! - You're safe now, do you hear me? - The spell wasn't finished.
You shouldn't have done anything without me.
We didn't know where you were! We couldn't just wait.
Not after everything that he went through! You know I love that ring.
Then where the hell is it? I told you! It fell! No! Not again.
Ah! Ah! God, that felt good, didn't it? Whoo! I'm a little flushed.
We're a good team, aren't we? Sally Hey You've been reading that book for 2 days.
Don't you think it's time to come up for air? - Yeah.
Can't.
- Get rid of it.
Take it back and bury it in the soup rubble where you found it, because it's bad juju.
Look, this isn't an encyclopedia of evil.
I need to find out what I am now, what I can do, aside from yanking weapons out of menstrual blood.
I love that we have the kind of relationship where we can discuss, uh Menses first thing in the morning.
But when your pupils roll back into your face, - and you're growling - I was resting my eyes.
Yes, but it's terrifying when you rest your eyes, so Got a redecorating spell in there? 'Cause the wildly expensive wallpaper I bought keeps falling down! Yeah, probably, if we wait long enough.
Oh yeah, the book changes.
The fairy-trapping spell that was there yesterday, it's gone today! Fairy-trapping what? Oh yeah.
And there's new spells now.
You need your crops cleared from a beetle infestation? I got you.
Listen to me.
Blood magic, it costs.
You, more than anyone, should understand that.
- I mean, you know what Donna was.
- Yeah, I'm not doing blood magic.
That's not what this book is.
Well, most of it.
I only jumped on the blood train to help save Josh when no one else could.
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but toot! Toot away.
And may I remind you, it took you a lifetime Several lifetimes, actually To get a hold of your feeding and your killing.
You could've bashed out your fangs so you wouldn't hurt anyone, but you didn't.
I can also learn to control what's inside me.
This book is an operating manual for whatever it is I am now.
Can you just trust me? First day.
Ready for the awkward co-worker questions? Yes.
Yeah.
Wait, you didn't tell everybody that my mom died, right? - Never.
- Good.
- 'Cause giving her cancer was bad enough.
- I didn't exactly gave her cancer.
It's just the slumdog of excuses.
Oh, hum, one thing I didn't say, is that your sister is in rehab.
- Which, incidentally, is true.
- What? - When did this happen? - Two months ago.
Look, we didn't wanna spoil your one human day a month.
You didn't tell her about what was going on with me, right? No! No.
I think the whole "vampires and werewolves are real" kicked off a binge, and she just checked herself in.
Yeah.
I thought she took it awfully well.
I just I I should've been there.
I should've recognized that that was gonna happen.
You were incapacitated.
All right, any other news? I'm pretty much numb now.
- I can take it.
- Tapped out.
Oh! Before I forget, here.
No, Nora packed my lunch already.
Maple-bacon donuts for Meredith, to get back in her good graces.
Genius! Seriously, when's the administration gonna catch on that you, me and Nora are the worst nurses ever? Between the 3 of us, we've taken a combined 18 months leave in the last 2 years.
- Seriously? Wow! - Yeah.
Thank God there's a nursing crisis in this country.
I thought that funeral home closed after Bishop ended.
It reopened under new management.
Just like that? Is the whole regime coming back? I've stayed out of it.
'Cause that's usually super easy for you.
I think it's time I give them a lecture on over-dipping.
Good luck with that! Ok.
All right.
Ok, ok, ok.
Not the head.
Not the head.
I hate that.
S04E03 Lil' Smokie - Ok.
I'm so sorry.
- Kenny? Look, I I told them to grab you.
They clearly misunderstood.
This is not how I wanted you to see me.
You had me kidnapped? Guys, look.
I don't know how many times you want me to say this.
We don't do that anymore! When I said "escort our special guest," I literally meant "bring Aidan to the office.
" It wasn't gangster code for "go Guantãnamo bay.
" All right? You're the new management? Yeah.
I know, I don't really look the part.
But your face How did How did I get it back from being hideous? Time, mostly.
You know how vampires can procreate normally now? The face resumes its usual hotness after a few weeks.
It's like the chicken pox.
Ok, uh So, you're back.
Welcome back.
Look, why didn't you just get a hold of me? What? Come say hello? Yeah.
Well, anyways, you know, not having to skulk around like Quasimodo definitely has its advantages.
I'll give you a sneak peek of the rest of the operation.
- There's an operation? - Yes.
Dr.
Manson, 463.
We have breaking news.
With the recent heavy rains, a flood warning is now in effect for the entire Southern portion of the state.
Residents near levees or in low-lying areas are urged to evacuate.
I need a hand in here! Josh! Good call.
Oh my God! A spell to bring back my door! No! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Sorry, guys.
I already missed it once.
- Ding dong! - No! Thanks for the invite.
I don't understand.
No.
You don't.
That's your problem, in a nutshell.
- I was trying to call back my door.
- Didn't you mother ever tell you? If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
You put that spell in the book.
From down there, you can control it? I paid for this book with my life.
Many of us did.
Is there a spell to bring back your door? You think it's that easy to just move on? I'm just hanging around here to play dominoes? That's not an answer! Maybe you didn't get a door.
I got a door! Our connection is deeper than ever, now.
The more you practice our magic, the stronger I get.
Look, I know you don't wanna believe it, but we do less damage down there.
Look, maybe you can pretty it up again, ok? How about a villa in Tuscany? We can make gnocchi.
I'm not going back to that hole.
Screw you, and screw your book! - Sally! - Aaah! What did I do? I know what you're thinking.
What, that you're gonna score us some crack? 'Cause it doesn't have the same effect on us, Kenny.
No, I mean, this place.
It's unassuming, right? - Exclusive? - Exclusive? Boston's newest and finest live-blood venue.
So what do you think? Tonight is the grand opening.
It's pretty awesome, isn't it? - Yeah, nice.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Hey, gorgeous.
You know, the vampires who came after the virus, they do not wanna go to some stonehenge-inspired buffalo-bill torture club.
And if they do, that is creepy.
I don't want them here.
And you know me, I love horror.
Oh, hey, check this out.
The vamp who did this, prodigy.
She mixed the blood with a polymer to stop it from oxidizing.
She calls it B positive.
You get it? B positive? - What's up, Mr.
Bishop? - Hey, Sarah.
Yeah you got a lot to be positive about.
Kenny How did you pull this off? The club, getting the vampires in line Well, I mean, I don't wanna brag or anything, but after the virus, there was a big vacuum in leadership.
I stepped in.
- You know how it works.
- You mean, you killed your way to the top? Turns out, someone like me can be a pretty smart fighter.
I learned some tricks without anyone to teach me.
No offense.
Of course.
- And where's Donna now? - I don't know.
Back in her hole, I guess? I used the book to call her up.
When I destroyed it, it sent her back.
All this happened when I was out getting more wallpaper.
Yes! You were gone forever! Nora, the spells, they're burnt into me.
What? I remember them.
All.
It's like they're a part of me now.
So you know the whole book? By heart? Centuries I don't know, millenniums Millennia of spells.
You said Donna tricked you.
How? She made me think I was calling up my door.
You can do that? Well, she says that I can't, but I don't believe her.
Wait Would you do that? I had to try.
Anyways, there's not a spell in the book for it.
Nora, I can't stay here for eternity.
You and Josh, you guys are gonna move away soon, yeah? And Aidan, we never completely know what he's gonna do.
It's not like he lives a risk-free lifestyle.
None of us do.
And, in a hundred years, when the house falls down, I'm what? What am I? I'm a homeless ghost wandering the streets of Boston, waiting for global warming or a super virus to liquefy us? Now you're just spinning out.
I'm not gonna tell you what to do, mostly because I know you, and I know you're just gonna do whatever you want anyway.
But there could be serious blowback.
Do you think that calling up my door is gonna poison my soul? Is it gonna turn me into this evil necromancer.
When you say that, all I can picture is a guy with a Merlin beard and a pointy hat.
I think we choose what we are.
You can't be corrupted unless you wanna be corrupted.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to stare.
I'm sorry.
It's kind of hard not to.
I always admired you, you know? You got out.
I never did.
You would've, Sally If you'd had more time.
Who knows With all those spells inside of you You could turn out to be the strongest of us all.
Ace work, man.
- You were a monster in there! - Thanks.
Hey, I heard about your mom.
Is she ok? You know, if you ever need a rec, my dad's an oncologist.
He's up on all the trials, knows all the best guys Josh Yeah, uh, I'm sorry, uh Could you just re-say what you just said? Have you been sharing your mom's marijuana card? Is that your aftershave? - Are you serious? - I'm sorry, I'm having an allergy attack.
Ragweed's super high today.
How are you gonna move that much product here? Well, here, we have a no-judgment policy, so all dietary persuasions are welcomed.
Do you want me to warm one up for you? No.
Save it for tonight, for your paying customers.
Are you always this hard to impress? I'm just waiting for the ask, Kenny.
I mean, the grand tour, blood offerings, and you have the same manic vibe that you had when you were trying to convince me to turn you.
So Well, you basically threw the deformed baby in the dumpster and ran.
- You're the one who's suspicious? - You almost killed Nora.
Did you know that we had to give her a blood transfusion, or she'd be dead? I was starving! I was starving.
What is she to you, anyways? I'm your blood! Yes, you're my blood, and they're my friends.
You were in their house.
That's why I brought you here today.
To show you I'm not a monster anymore.
Kenny, what you've accomplished It's something else.
Even Bishop would be proud.
You and Bishop ran this town.
We can do that too.
The two of us.
Father and son.
We can rebuild Boston, post-apocalypse.
- Kenny - Think about it.
I've already run Boston with Bishop and with Mother.
- I'm not doing that.
- Come on.
- You're not gonna consider it at all? - Here's a hot tip.
All that leadership ever comes down to is kill or be killed.
No! No, no, no.
It's more than that.
Think about it.
You have the opportunity to shape a future generation.
Convert them, if you want.
Everybody nowadays is just trying to eat sustainably.
Why can't we do that? Together? I honestly don't know whether to wish you luck or not.
- Oh, come on.
- I don't.
Aidan Really? What, so you're just gonna leave? Yeah.
Where the hell were you? You've been gone for more than an hour.
I lost track of time.
Dr.
12-year-old is looking for you.
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Josh! Josh! Look, I don't know what the hell is up with you, man, but something is very, very wrong.
Look, you need to go.
Go, now! - Oh! Hey! - Hey.
Are you home for tea? Uh, I don't wanna talk about it.
- I'm going for a run.
- Again? You're gonna be ready for the marathon this year.
- It's the only thing that helps.
- Helps what? Hey! Josh, what What's going on? I just gotta go.
I'm not even gonna pretend I wasn't eavesdropping.
I'm not even gonna pretend I know what to do.
You're giving him space and time, and a kicking new bedroom.
And that's all you can do.
I actually thought redecorating would make a difference.
Is that crazy? I figured, if we can't move right now, at least I could make this look like a real home, finally.
Make it look like a place where a happy, married couple lives.
Yeah, and that's what newlywede was supposed to do.
They're supposed to nest, and bone 24/7.
Now I feel even worse.
Sorry.
Josh thinks I don't see it.
But the wolf is there.
Just under his skin.
I catch it in his eyes sometimes.
For a second.
Less.
It's a wolf looking back at me.
I don't know what to do about Josh.
But why don't you let me do something for you? Can you snap your fingers and finish this room like Mary Poppins? I can take it away, Nora.
I can heal you.
I'm leaving today, ok? So, what's it gonna be? Ok, great.
We don't have a lot of time.
Come on! You smell like bubblegum.
And girl.
I don't know how you guys do it.
Day after day, keeping up with this this appearance.
And the energy! It's exhausting.
Just kick back, Mr.
Fisher.
Open up a warm one.
Yeah.
Wash the day away.
It's cool.
Shhh! After this, all you're gonna remember is asking me for my sandman comics.
All right? What? What do you want? Your hygiene could use some attention, Josh.
We could smell that stink for half a mile.
You know me? More like "knew" you.
What the hell? Josh! Josh, are you all right? I couldn't go home.
I didn't want Nora to see me.
Josh, the vampires, did you ever run across them before? - Did you get any names? - No.
No.
They knew me, though.
They were stalking me.
They attacked you, but they let you go? They tried to kill me.
Then, when I fought, I Turned.
What? Only this was worse.
It was my fangs and my claws - Josh, that doesn't - It started going to my arms.
I've never heard of a wolf who was able to turn at will.
Not even purebreds.
I don't know what's happening to me.
All right, look Let's just go get you cleaned up, ok? Come on.
I can't go home.
Ok.
Ok.
Who knew Chinatown was one-stop shopping for witches.
They had bear gallbladder.
Sliced or powdered.
I can't stop thinking about those pork buns.
I could seriously have murdered a four-pack.
How did I get here? I'm a registered nurse, and now I'm side-kicking as a magician's assistant.
Ok.
I think that's good.
Yeah.
So Massage it on the scar, and then wrap it in the bandages.
Part of me thinks this can't work.
And the other part Is this gonna have side effects that I can't even begin to imagine? No, Nora.
We didn't kill anybody to get this.
Honestly, this is like the witch equivalent of zit removal.
Hey, I don't wanna pressure you.
Are we moving too fast? I'm married now, to a man that I love.
It shouldn't matter.
Josh doesn't care.
Yeah.
But even when we're just lying in bed, I can feel it against him.
It's always there.
It's a reminder of will, you know? And what he did to me.
Third-degree burns, And still Do you think that's enough? Yeah, that looks good.
- Ok.
- Wait! Do you know the spell word for word, or are you just remembering the gist of it? 'Cause the last thing that I need is some gollum creature waving from my abs.
- I know the spell.
- Ok.
Sally? There she goes again.
Here I go again.
Oh my God! The house! The '70s! So sad I didn't know thee! Lil' smokie? Does anybody want a little smokie? Lil' smokie? - Thank you.
- Welcome.
Lil' smokie? Lil' smokie? No! Let me go! The blood of the child revives us! Hey! Hey! Where are your parents? - Lil' smokie? - What's your name? Hey, I'm right here! What happened to you in our house? Kenny Kenny Uh Look, I think I know where we're aheaded Yeah, sure.
What better place than the woods where you dumped me, right? Look Josh was attacked by a couple of vampires last night.
Do you know anything about that? I sent them to kill him.
You tried to murder Josh? What, like he sent you to kill me? How did you know about that? He flipped out when you wanted to turn me.
I almost ate his girlfriend.
Ok, you know what? If this is a shakespearean tragedy, let's skip to the end.
You say you can fight? Prove it.
Come on.
Come on.
Kill me for abandoning you.
But you're gonna leave my friends alone.
Pick it up.
I don't wanna kill you.
I am sick and tired of trading guilt trips with you, Kenny.
So I'm gonna say this one more time.
Pick it up! You think I'm afraid of dying? You know, I was gonna leave that cell on my 18th birthday, get sick and die in my own piss and vomit.
Look at me! I don't have any memories of touching my dad's hand, or what my mom smells like.
You told me that a relationship between a vampire and his maker was special.
- Yes, I did! - You said that it was magical! And that's the reason that I came back.
There has to be more than just blood between us! You wanna know why I went after Josh? Yes.
I do.
Because I thought that if he was out of the picture You thought what? You thought I would let you in? Yeah.
Oh God! I'm not gonna touch them.
I promise.
Nora, Josh, anybody you want.
I I'm gonna stay away from them, I swear.
How am I supposed to believe this? What is this? What did you do? You can change the way that you look? I can't control what I look like.
I can control what people see.
I can compel vampires.
- Wait, you can compel me? - Yeah.
- Without saying a word? - It's draining.
I mean, I gotta feed 4 or 5 times what a normal vampire does, just to keep it up.
Well then, why didn't you just compel me to join you, to forget that you'd attacked Josh? If it's not real, what's the point? You don't have to put on a mask for me, Kenny.
It helps me deal with myself.
Kenny.
Ok.
We gotta go.
Never again.
Promise me, you're not gonna go marathon man at night anymore.
It's not the vampires that I'm worried about.
The wolf The wolf can come out whenever it wants.
He came out because he thought he was going to be killed.
He thought you were going to be killed.
Thank God he did! I thought he was gonna take over completely! Even after the vampires ran off, it was everything I could do to just cling onto a sense of me, of myself.
The thing I can't stop thinking about Is the fact that I I liked it.
I felt powerful.
I felt strong.
You didn't like it.
You were just acting on instinct.
That's right, but what if that instinct takes over? What if I can't get back? No.
You're still you, ok? I'm so sorry.
You've nothing to be sorry about.
This isn't your fault.
The way we brought you back Sally said she wasn't finished.
But I am back.
I am what I am.
Don't drag Sally into this, please.
Don't even - I'm not.
- Mention it to her.
I'm just asking you not to put it all on you.
We're gonna figure this out.
I love you.
And you are the most selfcontrolling person I know.
Don't take that the wrong way.
You will learn how to reign in this wolf.
You're stronger than he is.
He's alone.
And you have me.
And you have Sally, and you have Aidan.
We'll cover shifts for you.
We'll track what triggers you.
And we will keep the wolf to his one night a month.
Whatever it takes.
Are you kidding me? Back off.
Look, I haven't reported you, but I will.
You don't have to worry about me anymore.
I quit.
Hey What is going on with you? Do you need help? I'm sorry if I hurt you.
Holy mother! Sarah? Sarah? Oh my God! What happened here? No, no, no! Don't touch her! Damned! I should've been there! Who would try something like that? Could this be anyone you crossed on the way up? No.
I got rid of all them.
You think it was wolves? They wouldn't try this without a full moon.
Look, the last time I saw carnage like this was turf wars.
But vampires, we don't do that anymore.
Not even Bishop would make this kind of statement, till the end.
Do you think it was a hit out on me? Like an ambush or a "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes" message? - Ease up, godfather.
- Ok, then what? - Van Helsing? - Kenny Well, at least I know how we can find out.
Nora? It didn't work? Sally Tell me I'm not hallucinating.
It's gone! Thank you! You're not regretting doing it? No! God no! No, I'm so happy for you! It's just What happens after, where I go I mean, I guess that's just the price of doing magic.
Seeing things that I can't stop.
Things that I don't wanna know.
I saw the little girl again.
The one who gets murdered.
Sally You don't have to do any more magic.
Not for me, not for any of us.
Not if it's hurting you.
What is it? Oh! Really? - Ok, it's not that big a deal.
- Do you not see that? Well, we'll have to sandblast to get the glue off.
It's the little girl who dies.
It says: "Don't leave me.
" - What? Is she here? - No.
She's sending me a message.
Time slipping, it's not a punishment.
I'm supposed to help her.
You put cameras in? So you can, what, tweet video of vampires sucking people dry? - What the hell are you kids thinking? - I'm not a moron, all right? Only I know about the cameras.
I installed them myself.
Plus the files overwrite themselves every 12 hours.
Oh! Damn! Who the hell is that?
I want you to turn me, in what you are.
What did you do? Run! I saw your father today.
Aidan? Did you tell him? That his little boy's grown up to run Boston? - No.
- Ok, good.
I lost my best friend.
- I think I can help him.
- What do you say? Donna's magic is what got Josh into this.
I'm so sorry! - You're safe now, do you hear me? - The spell wasn't finished.
You shouldn't have done anything without me.
We didn't know where you were! We couldn't just wait.
Not after everything that he went through! You know I love that ring.
Then where the hell is it? I told you! It fell! No! Not again.
Ah! Ah! God, that felt good, didn't it? Whoo! I'm a little flushed.
We're a good team, aren't we? Sally Hey You've been reading that book for 2 days.
Don't you think it's time to come up for air? - Yeah.
Can't.
- Get rid of it.
Take it back and bury it in the soup rubble where you found it, because it's bad juju.
Look, this isn't an encyclopedia of evil.
I need to find out what I am now, what I can do, aside from yanking weapons out of menstrual blood.
I love that we have the kind of relationship where we can discuss, uh Menses first thing in the morning.
But when your pupils roll back into your face, - and you're growling - I was resting my eyes.
Yes, but it's terrifying when you rest your eyes, so Got a redecorating spell in there? 'Cause the wildly expensive wallpaper I bought keeps falling down! Yeah, probably, if we wait long enough.
Oh yeah, the book changes.
The fairy-trapping spell that was there yesterday, it's gone today! Fairy-trapping what? Oh yeah.
And there's new spells now.
You need your crops cleared from a beetle infestation? I got you.
Listen to me.
Blood magic, it costs.
You, more than anyone, should understand that.
- I mean, you know what Donna was.
- Yeah, I'm not doing blood magic.
That's not what this book is.
Well, most of it.
I only jumped on the blood train to help save Josh when no one else could.
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but toot! Toot away.
And may I remind you, it took you a lifetime Several lifetimes, actually To get a hold of your feeding and your killing.
You could've bashed out your fangs so you wouldn't hurt anyone, but you didn't.
I can also learn to control what's inside me.
This book is an operating manual for whatever it is I am now.
Can you just trust me? First day.
Ready for the awkward co-worker questions? Yes.
Yeah.
Wait, you didn't tell everybody that my mom died, right? - Never.
- Good.
- 'Cause giving her cancer was bad enough.
- I didn't exactly gave her cancer.
It's just the slumdog of excuses.
Oh, hum, one thing I didn't say, is that your sister is in rehab.
- Which, incidentally, is true.
- What? - When did this happen? - Two months ago.
Look, we didn't wanna spoil your one human day a month.
You didn't tell her about what was going on with me, right? No! No.
I think the whole "vampires and werewolves are real" kicked off a binge, and she just checked herself in.
Yeah.
I thought she took it awfully well.
I just I I should've been there.
I should've recognized that that was gonna happen.
You were incapacitated.
All right, any other news? I'm pretty much numb now.
- I can take it.
- Tapped out.
Oh! Before I forget, here.
No, Nora packed my lunch already.
Maple-bacon donuts for Meredith, to get back in her good graces.
Genius! Seriously, when's the administration gonna catch on that you, me and Nora are the worst nurses ever? Between the 3 of us, we've taken a combined 18 months leave in the last 2 years.
- Seriously? Wow! - Yeah.
Thank God there's a nursing crisis in this country.
I thought that funeral home closed after Bishop ended.
It reopened under new management.
Just like that? Is the whole regime coming back? I've stayed out of it.
'Cause that's usually super easy for you.
I think it's time I give them a lecture on over-dipping.
Good luck with that! Ok.
All right.
Ok, ok, ok.
Not the head.
Not the head.
I hate that.
S04E03 Lil' Smokie - Ok.
I'm so sorry.
- Kenny? Look, I I told them to grab you.
They clearly misunderstood.
This is not how I wanted you to see me.
You had me kidnapped? Guys, look.
I don't know how many times you want me to say this.
We don't do that anymore! When I said "escort our special guest," I literally meant "bring Aidan to the office.
" It wasn't gangster code for "go Guantãnamo bay.
" All right? You're the new management? Yeah.
I know, I don't really look the part.
But your face How did How did I get it back from being hideous? Time, mostly.
You know how vampires can procreate normally now? The face resumes its usual hotness after a few weeks.
It's like the chicken pox.
Ok, uh So, you're back.
Welcome back.
Look, why didn't you just get a hold of me? What? Come say hello? Yeah.
Well, anyways, you know, not having to skulk around like Quasimodo definitely has its advantages.
I'll give you a sneak peek of the rest of the operation.
- There's an operation? - Yes.
Dr.
Manson, 463.
We have breaking news.
With the recent heavy rains, a flood warning is now in effect for the entire Southern portion of the state.
Residents near levees or in low-lying areas are urged to evacuate.
I need a hand in here! Josh! Good call.
Oh my God! A spell to bring back my door! No! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Sorry, guys.
I already missed it once.
- Ding dong! - No! Thanks for the invite.
I don't understand.
No.
You don't.
That's your problem, in a nutshell.
- I was trying to call back my door.
- Didn't you mother ever tell you? If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
You put that spell in the book.
From down there, you can control it? I paid for this book with my life.
Many of us did.
Is there a spell to bring back your door? You think it's that easy to just move on? I'm just hanging around here to play dominoes? That's not an answer! Maybe you didn't get a door.
I got a door! Our connection is deeper than ever, now.
The more you practice our magic, the stronger I get.
Look, I know you don't wanna believe it, but we do less damage down there.
Look, maybe you can pretty it up again, ok? How about a villa in Tuscany? We can make gnocchi.
I'm not going back to that hole.
Screw you, and screw your book! - Sally! - Aaah! What did I do? I know what you're thinking.
What, that you're gonna score us some crack? 'Cause it doesn't have the same effect on us, Kenny.
No, I mean, this place.
It's unassuming, right? - Exclusive? - Exclusive? Boston's newest and finest live-blood venue.
So what do you think? Tonight is the grand opening.
It's pretty awesome, isn't it? - Yeah, nice.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Hey, gorgeous.
You know, the vampires who came after the virus, they do not wanna go to some stonehenge-inspired buffalo-bill torture club.
And if they do, that is creepy.
I don't want them here.
And you know me, I love horror.
Oh, hey, check this out.
The vamp who did this, prodigy.
She mixed the blood with a polymer to stop it from oxidizing.
She calls it B positive.
You get it? B positive? - What's up, Mr.
Bishop? - Hey, Sarah.
Yeah you got a lot to be positive about.
Kenny How did you pull this off? The club, getting the vampires in line Well, I mean, I don't wanna brag or anything, but after the virus, there was a big vacuum in leadership.
I stepped in.
- You know how it works.
- You mean, you killed your way to the top? Turns out, someone like me can be a pretty smart fighter.
I learned some tricks without anyone to teach me.
No offense.
Of course.
- And where's Donna now? - I don't know.
Back in her hole, I guess? I used the book to call her up.
When I destroyed it, it sent her back.
All this happened when I was out getting more wallpaper.
Yes! You were gone forever! Nora, the spells, they're burnt into me.
What? I remember them.
All.
It's like they're a part of me now.
So you know the whole book? By heart? Centuries I don't know, millenniums Millennia of spells.
You said Donna tricked you.
How? She made me think I was calling up my door.
You can do that? Well, she says that I can't, but I don't believe her.
Wait Would you do that? I had to try.
Anyways, there's not a spell in the book for it.
Nora, I can't stay here for eternity.
You and Josh, you guys are gonna move away soon, yeah? And Aidan, we never completely know what he's gonna do.
It's not like he lives a risk-free lifestyle.
None of us do.
And, in a hundred years, when the house falls down, I'm what? What am I? I'm a homeless ghost wandering the streets of Boston, waiting for global warming or a super virus to liquefy us? Now you're just spinning out.
I'm not gonna tell you what to do, mostly because I know you, and I know you're just gonna do whatever you want anyway.
But there could be serious blowback.
Do you think that calling up my door is gonna poison my soul? Is it gonna turn me into this evil necromancer.
When you say that, all I can picture is a guy with a Merlin beard and a pointy hat.
I think we choose what we are.
You can't be corrupted unless you wanna be corrupted.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to stare.
I'm sorry.
It's kind of hard not to.
I always admired you, you know? You got out.
I never did.
You would've, Sally If you'd had more time.
Who knows With all those spells inside of you You could turn out to be the strongest of us all.
Ace work, man.
- You were a monster in there! - Thanks.
Hey, I heard about your mom.
Is she ok? You know, if you ever need a rec, my dad's an oncologist.
He's up on all the trials, knows all the best guys Josh Yeah, uh, I'm sorry, uh Could you just re-say what you just said? Have you been sharing your mom's marijuana card? Is that your aftershave? - Are you serious? - I'm sorry, I'm having an allergy attack.
Ragweed's super high today.
How are you gonna move that much product here? Well, here, we have a no-judgment policy, so all dietary persuasions are welcomed.
Do you want me to warm one up for you? No.
Save it for tonight, for your paying customers.
Are you always this hard to impress? I'm just waiting for the ask, Kenny.
I mean, the grand tour, blood offerings, and you have the same manic vibe that you had when you were trying to convince me to turn you.
So Well, you basically threw the deformed baby in the dumpster and ran.
- You're the one who's suspicious? - You almost killed Nora.
Did you know that we had to give her a blood transfusion, or she'd be dead? I was starving! I was starving.
What is she to you, anyways? I'm your blood! Yes, you're my blood, and they're my friends.
You were in their house.
That's why I brought you here today.
To show you I'm not a monster anymore.
Kenny, what you've accomplished It's something else.
Even Bishop would be proud.
You and Bishop ran this town.
We can do that too.
The two of us.
Father and son.
We can rebuild Boston, post-apocalypse.
- Kenny - Think about it.
I've already run Boston with Bishop and with Mother.
- I'm not doing that.
- Come on.
- You're not gonna consider it at all? - Here's a hot tip.
All that leadership ever comes down to is kill or be killed.
No! No, no, no.
It's more than that.
Think about it.
You have the opportunity to shape a future generation.
Convert them, if you want.
Everybody nowadays is just trying to eat sustainably.
Why can't we do that? Together? I honestly don't know whether to wish you luck or not.
- Oh, come on.
- I don't.
Aidan Really? What, so you're just gonna leave? Yeah.
Where the hell were you? You've been gone for more than an hour.
I lost track of time.
Dr.
12-year-old is looking for you.
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Josh! Josh! Look, I don't know what the hell is up with you, man, but something is very, very wrong.
Look, you need to go.
Go, now! - Oh! Hey! - Hey.
Are you home for tea? Uh, I don't wanna talk about it.
- I'm going for a run.
- Again? You're gonna be ready for the marathon this year.
- It's the only thing that helps.
- Helps what? Hey! Josh, what What's going on? I just gotta go.
I'm not even gonna pretend I wasn't eavesdropping.
I'm not even gonna pretend I know what to do.
You're giving him space and time, and a kicking new bedroom.
And that's all you can do.
I actually thought redecorating would make a difference.
Is that crazy? I figured, if we can't move right now, at least I could make this look like a real home, finally.
Make it look like a place where a happy, married couple lives.
Yeah, and that's what newlywede was supposed to do.
They're supposed to nest, and bone 24/7.
Now I feel even worse.
Sorry.
Josh thinks I don't see it.
But the wolf is there.
Just under his skin.
I catch it in his eyes sometimes.
For a second.
Less.
It's a wolf looking back at me.
I don't know what to do about Josh.
But why don't you let me do something for you? Can you snap your fingers and finish this room like Mary Poppins? I can take it away, Nora.
I can heal you.
I'm leaving today, ok? So, what's it gonna be? Ok, great.
We don't have a lot of time.
Come on! You smell like bubblegum.
And girl.
I don't know how you guys do it.
Day after day, keeping up with this this appearance.
And the energy! It's exhausting.
Just kick back, Mr.
Fisher.
Open up a warm one.
Yeah.
Wash the day away.
It's cool.
Shhh! After this, all you're gonna remember is asking me for my sandman comics.
All right? What? What do you want? Your hygiene could use some attention, Josh.
We could smell that stink for half a mile.
You know me? More like "knew" you.
What the hell? Josh! Josh, are you all right? I couldn't go home.
I didn't want Nora to see me.
Josh, the vampires, did you ever run across them before? - Did you get any names? - No.
No.
They knew me, though.
They were stalking me.
They attacked you, but they let you go? They tried to kill me.
Then, when I fought, I Turned.
What? Only this was worse.
It was my fangs and my claws - Josh, that doesn't - It started going to my arms.
I've never heard of a wolf who was able to turn at will.
Not even purebreds.
I don't know what's happening to me.
All right, look Let's just go get you cleaned up, ok? Come on.
I can't go home.
Ok.
Ok.
Who knew Chinatown was one-stop shopping for witches.
They had bear gallbladder.
Sliced or powdered.
I can't stop thinking about those pork buns.
I could seriously have murdered a four-pack.
How did I get here? I'm a registered nurse, and now I'm side-kicking as a magician's assistant.
Ok.
I think that's good.
Yeah.
So Massage it on the scar, and then wrap it in the bandages.
Part of me thinks this can't work.
And the other part Is this gonna have side effects that I can't even begin to imagine? No, Nora.
We didn't kill anybody to get this.
Honestly, this is like the witch equivalent of zit removal.
Hey, I don't wanna pressure you.
Are we moving too fast? I'm married now, to a man that I love.
It shouldn't matter.
Josh doesn't care.
Yeah.
But even when we're just lying in bed, I can feel it against him.
It's always there.
It's a reminder of will, you know? And what he did to me.
Third-degree burns, And still Do you think that's enough? Yeah, that looks good.
- Ok.
- Wait! Do you know the spell word for word, or are you just remembering the gist of it? 'Cause the last thing that I need is some gollum creature waving from my abs.
- I know the spell.
- Ok.
Sally? There she goes again.
Here I go again.
Oh my God! The house! The '70s! So sad I didn't know thee! Lil' smokie? Does anybody want a little smokie? Lil' smokie? - Thank you.
- Welcome.
Lil' smokie? Lil' smokie? No! Let me go! The blood of the child revives us! Hey! Hey! Where are your parents? - Lil' smokie? - What's your name? Hey, I'm right here! What happened to you in our house? Kenny Kenny Uh Look, I think I know where we're aheaded Yeah, sure.
What better place than the woods where you dumped me, right? Look Josh was attacked by a couple of vampires last night.
Do you know anything about that? I sent them to kill him.
You tried to murder Josh? What, like he sent you to kill me? How did you know about that? He flipped out when you wanted to turn me.
I almost ate his girlfriend.
Ok, you know what? If this is a shakespearean tragedy, let's skip to the end.
You say you can fight? Prove it.
Come on.
Come on.
Kill me for abandoning you.
But you're gonna leave my friends alone.
Pick it up.
I don't wanna kill you.
I am sick and tired of trading guilt trips with you, Kenny.
So I'm gonna say this one more time.
Pick it up! You think I'm afraid of dying? You know, I was gonna leave that cell on my 18th birthday, get sick and die in my own piss and vomit.
Look at me! I don't have any memories of touching my dad's hand, or what my mom smells like.
You told me that a relationship between a vampire and his maker was special.
- Yes, I did! - You said that it was magical! And that's the reason that I came back.
There has to be more than just blood between us! You wanna know why I went after Josh? Yes.
I do.
Because I thought that if he was out of the picture You thought what? You thought I would let you in? Yeah.
Oh God! I'm not gonna touch them.
I promise.
Nora, Josh, anybody you want.
I I'm gonna stay away from them, I swear.
How am I supposed to believe this? What is this? What did you do? You can change the way that you look? I can't control what I look like.
I can control what people see.
I can compel vampires.
- Wait, you can compel me? - Yeah.
- Without saying a word? - It's draining.
I mean, I gotta feed 4 or 5 times what a normal vampire does, just to keep it up.
Well then, why didn't you just compel me to join you, to forget that you'd attacked Josh? If it's not real, what's the point? You don't have to put on a mask for me, Kenny.
It helps me deal with myself.
Kenny.
Ok.
We gotta go.
Never again.
Promise me, you're not gonna go marathon man at night anymore.
It's not the vampires that I'm worried about.
The wolf The wolf can come out whenever it wants.
He came out because he thought he was going to be killed.
He thought you were going to be killed.
Thank God he did! I thought he was gonna take over completely! Even after the vampires ran off, it was everything I could do to just cling onto a sense of me, of myself.
The thing I can't stop thinking about Is the fact that I I liked it.
I felt powerful.
I felt strong.
You didn't like it.
You were just acting on instinct.
That's right, but what if that instinct takes over? What if I can't get back? No.
You're still you, ok? I'm so sorry.
You've nothing to be sorry about.
This isn't your fault.
The way we brought you back Sally said she wasn't finished.
But I am back.
I am what I am.
Don't drag Sally into this, please.
Don't even - I'm not.
- Mention it to her.
I'm just asking you not to put it all on you.
We're gonna figure this out.
I love you.
And you are the most selfcontrolling person I know.
Don't take that the wrong way.
You will learn how to reign in this wolf.
You're stronger than he is.
He's alone.
And you have me.
And you have Sally, and you have Aidan.
We'll cover shifts for you.
We'll track what triggers you.
And we will keep the wolf to his one night a month.
Whatever it takes.
Are you kidding me? Back off.
Look, I haven't reported you, but I will.
You don't have to worry about me anymore.
I quit.
Hey What is going on with you? Do you need help? I'm sorry if I hurt you.
Holy mother! Sarah? Sarah? Oh my God! What happened here? No, no, no! Don't touch her! Damned! I should've been there! Who would try something like that? Could this be anyone you crossed on the way up? No.
I got rid of all them.
You think it was wolves? They wouldn't try this without a full moon.
Look, the last time I saw carnage like this was turf wars.
But vampires, we don't do that anymore.
Not even Bishop would make this kind of statement, till the end.
Do you think it was a hit out on me? Like an ambush or a "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes" message? - Ease up, godfather.
- Ok, then what? - Van Helsing? - Kenny Well, at least I know how we can find out.
Nora? It didn't work? Sally Tell me I'm not hallucinating.
It's gone! Thank you! You're not regretting doing it? No! God no! No, I'm so happy for you! It's just What happens after, where I go I mean, I guess that's just the price of doing magic.
Seeing things that I can't stop.
Things that I don't wanna know.
I saw the little girl again.
The one who gets murdered.
Sally You don't have to do any more magic.
Not for me, not for any of us.
Not if it's hurting you.
What is it? Oh! Really? - Ok, it's not that big a deal.
- Do you not see that? Well, we'll have to sandblast to get the glue off.
It's the little girl who dies.
It says: "Don't leave me.
" - What? Is she here? - No.
She's sending me a message.
Time slipping, it's not a punishment.
I'm supposed to help her.
You put cameras in? So you can, what, tweet video of vampires sucking people dry? - What the hell are you kids thinking? - I'm not a moron, all right? Only I know about the cameras.
I installed them myself.
Plus the files overwrite themselves every 12 hours.
Oh! Damn! Who the hell is that?
