Being Human (US) s04e08 Episode Script

Previously on Being Human The house! The '70s! You were time traveling? Every time you use our magic, you run the risk of being trapped in the past forever.
I'm stuck here! I'm never going home! - Oh, my God! - Dammit! This is the night I die! He's gonna kill you! I lost my engagement ring.
- It fell.
- What? It was right here, and I was washing my hands, and it slipped down the drain.
Wait, why did you take it off? Tell him you took it off because it reminds you of how he makes you feel.
- Like garbage! - I didn't want it to fall off.
- You never said it was loose.
- I just thought that Danny, come on! - Can you just - No, no, no! I mean, the ring obviously doesn't mean anything to you.
No, no, no! If it's even in there! God, I'm starting to feel like a real idiot here.
Defend yourself! - I'm sorry.
- Defend yourself! He's gonna kill you! Danny, come on! When else do you take it off? When you go out with girlfriends? - Of course not! - I can change this.
Maybe you left it in some guy's bed.
How the hell am I suppose to Right there! Right there! Who talks to somebody they love like that? I should've never said yes to you, Danny.
I should've never said yes to any of this.
What the hell's gotten into you? Oh my God! I finally feel like myself! - I'm leaving you, Danny.
- Listen to me! Oh, no, no, no.
I don't have to listen to you, ever again.
We're done.
You don't talk to me like that.
Oh! You bitch! Call a plumber if you want your ring back! I can't take this place anymore.
I'm asking that nurse what the holdup is.
No, Bridge, do not talk to her.
You know what? I'm actually ok.
I think we should go.
- "Fine"? - Yes! You punched Danny in the face.
You tell me to drive to Back Bay 'cause you don't wanna come here.
You tell the doctor you throw your sweater in a incinerator.
- What's going on? - You cherry picked that list! I did normal things between all the weird things.
I just really can't be here right now, please.
- You're hurt! - Bridget, you don't understand.
I don't know what crazy domino effect I could've set into motion even by just walking in this place, please.
Ok, I'm asking what the holdup is.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Sorry to bother you.
Could you just take 2 seconds and come see my friend? - I think she broke her wrist.
- Um, sure.
Hi there.
Can I take a look at this wrist? No, it's ok.
I know you're busy.
You should just go and forget I was ever here, that you've ever see me.
It looks like it could be fractured, so I'm gonna get you Oh my God! Bangs! It's good on your face.
Um, when she hurt her wrist, did she hit her head as well? - Good question.
- I'm ok.
If she complains about a headache or nausea, come find me or another nurse.
Because she may have a contusion.
I'll send someone with a wrist brace.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
You'd tell me if you were feeling depressed or dementia-ey, right? Yes! I feel awesome.
I'm dynamite.
I just wanna get the hell out of here.
Please.
Excuse me, miss? Let's have a look at that wrist.
- Ok, can you bend it back? - I think so.
Yeah.
Ok, does it hurt when I flex it back like this? - It's good.
It's ok.
- Ok.
Anything? Well, I think you're going to live, Miss Maleek.
- Malik.
- Malik, ok.
What I need you to do, Miss Malik, is wear this for 2 weeks Don't lift anything heavy, and if you have questions, call and ask for me.
I'm Aidan.
- Something you need to ask him? - No.
No.
Now's not the right time.
I don't understand why you'd buy out Danny if you're not gonna do anything with the house.
I thought we were gonna paint today.
Yeah, I decided against it.
I think I really just wanna keep the original charm of the place.
I feel like it's gonna appeal to some very specific renters.
Don't worry.
I have a plan.
Do you? Or are you just stalling? - What are you - I'm sorry.
It feels like you're holding on to something.
You and Danny broke up, like, 6 months ago.
This has, like, nothing to do with Danny.
Great, so let's just slap a coat of paint on the place and get out of here, 'cause I really think that you need to move on, Sally.
Bridge, why do you care so much about moving on? Because I'm dating Danny.
I'm dating Danny.
Bridget, as a friend, I can tell you that that's a really, really bad idea.
- You guys broke up 6 months ago.
- He is abusive.
You kneed him in the balls and punched him in the face and he is the abusive? That's not what happened! That's not all that happened! He was gonna kill me.
Look, I wanna be here for you as a friend, but you're making it really difficult.
Are you ready to move in together? Oh yeah! He's funny, isn't he, Aidan? Yeah.
Feel the brotherly love! Oh, playful nudge! What? - Hi.
- Hey! Hey, it's me.
I need your help.
The look on Mr.
Weidner's face.
Utter relief.
Release and then, ah, ecstasy.
I didn't know you were this funny.
I see you in the break room, and you're all dark clouds and faraway thoughts.
That's my hook.
Just so you know, the whole byronic-hero thing doesn't really work on me.
"Bionic hero"? - Byron? - Byron oh! - That doesn't work on you? - Sadly, no.
No, I'm a nice girl with a bright future.
I can see that.
Aidan Waite.
I just wanted to come over and thank you so much for never calling me back.
Also, for giving me raging genital warts.
Have a good night! - She's lying! - Right.
- Thanks for the drinks.
- Rebecca - I'm just gonna call it a night.
- Hold on for a second.
Hold You'll thank me for that some day.
Would you just let me explain? - I'm listening.
- Ok, where do I start? Um, first of all, I'm from the future.
Oh Just wait! I came to stop you from drinking Rebecca.
Yeah, don't pretend you weren't staring at her carotid artery like you were just staring at mine.
Aidan, I know how hard you've worked to stay on bagged blood.
Rebecca was way too much temptation.
If I hadn't shown up, she would've been a crumpled capri sun, and you'd be calling Bishop for a cleanup.
You're working for Bishop.
Ok, little girl, you have no idea who you're dealing with.
Aidan, I'm not working for anyone.
I know Henry.
I know Suren.
You've told me about Celine, your son, Isaac Ok, stop! I know all this because I know you.
We live together for years in the future.
I'm Sally.
Hi.
Look, I got thrown back in time because It's it's a long story.
It involves things that you're not a fan of, like witches and blood magic.
I don't want anything to do that.
I know how Bishop gets his claws back into you and I can tell you how avoid that.
Tell Bishop that I am never going back to him.
I don't want you to.
But you what? You're headed down that road.
You know you are.
Why else would you go on a date tonight? You're not ready.
You know that you don't trust yourself.
You're starting to slip.
Just a little.
But it's enough.
How great would it be if you could just stop it? Yeah This this place has an original prewar fireplace.
Doesn't surprise me at all.
I can't find a single downside to this place.
I'm afraid to ask.
What's the rent? Uh, well, I would really hate to leave this place vacant, and you two seem like such nice boys, so for you, I would say $800.
Gonna let that stew.
I'm gonna step over here.
Ok, well She's mentally ill, or she's slow.
Either way, it's sad, 'cause she's pretty.
We need to rent this place, man, ok? Someone else is gonna come in here and snatch it up! - We gotta do it! - Yeah.
I completely agree.
Really? This is great, dude! Sorry to interrupt.
There is one more thing that you should know about.
You would have a 3rd roommate.
I also live here.
I'll let you two talk it over.
- Ok, let me explain.
- No, I'm gonna talk first.
You knew about this? We can't live with her.
We can't live with a human! I might scratch her.
You might eat her.
- We're the worst roommates ever.
- Listen to me.
We don't have to hide what we are from Sally, because Sally is like us.
Ish It would be a lot easier to explain if I could unpossess myself, but unfortunately, I can't, because as it turns out, somewhere along the line, my past soul fused with my future soul.
Also, I can't do magic when I'm untethered in time.
So, pretty much what's going on: I'm here, stuck with you guys, with all the knowledge of what happens to us.
What happened to us.
- Original us.
- Did you give her my journal? You gave her my journal.
That's wht she knows every - Your journal? - Look, Josh, we're friends.
In the future, you guys move into this house, the only difference is I'm a ghost.
She's a ghost in the future.
Look, the whole ghost thing, it's actually real.
Look, Josh, I've done everything right.
I wanna make things better for us.
Honestly, it's already paying off.
I'm alive! And she saved Rebecca's life too.
I almost ate her.
I meant to ask you how that date went.
It was ok.
Um, think about this.
Yesterday, you were completely into the idea of us moving in together and helping each other.
The only difference is, instead of 2 monsters, three! So, look, a minute ago, you loved this place.
If anything, you should love it even more.
It comes with its own guardian angel.
- And look at the beautiful crown moulding.
- Don't start with the crown moulding! You know it's my weakness.
That's ugly.
Don't laugh.
So, just out of curiosity, what were we paying for rent in the future? $750 but you were getting a deal.
I was murdered here.
So, this isolation room, if that's what we're calling it, worst idea ever, right? You're stressing over the change.
But let me tell you, that basement, it's solid.
Ok, yeah.
I am stressing about it.
Excuse if I'm stressing about There are other ways you can do it.
Sally, we have to think through the changes we make.
Just giving him the false confidence that something will work in the future could make it fail now.
It's like that Ashton Kutcher - The butterfly effect.
- Yes! The change bag is safe.
I've already thought it through.
Change bag? Like, a coin purse? No, it's a duffel bag.
So, change of clothes for the morning, a sandwich, water, hydrogen peroxide, burner phone for emergencies, and the rump roast.
The wh Take a piece of meat, run it around in circles.
The wolf just chases it all night, away from people.
Boom shaka-laka! Hydrogen peroxide, is that for cuts and scrapes? 'Cause any cuts I endure as a wolf just disappear when I change back.
No, it's for the morning.
For your breath.
Your wolf definitely eats poop.
That's insane! That's in My wolf doesn't eat poop, ok? I wouldn't do that.
Ok? He wouldn't do it.
I'm I'm glad that you brought that up.
Defensive! I was hunting.
Where'd you learn my rump roast trick? Danny Angeli is a murderer! Oh no! He's a murderer! - Should we - I got this.
Hey, is everything ok, officer? Your friend here, she's a little hysterical.
Yes, um, I really shouldn't have left her alone.
See, I'm her nurse.
Do not go to that memorial service.
Another scene like today and I'll be forced to book you.
She's lucky we're not taking her in tonight.
You can't just accuse people of murder.
I know.
I know.
She doesn't know what she's saying.
I'm really sorry for the trouble, officers.
Thank you for your time.
- What was that? - Bridget's dead.
Danny, I know! I know! Oh God! She's been my best friend since 3rd grade.
They said it was an accident.
She was in the shower, and she slipped and she hit her head.
She hit her head, Aidan! Just like Danny bashed my head in, right there, on the stairs.
When I heard that she was dead, I called the cops.
Sally, this is awful, and I am sorry.
But you can't You can't bring the police here.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I just panicked.
It's ok.
It's all right.
I didn't think they'd trace the call.
Danny said we broke up because I was deranged.
He said I was dangerous.
Deranged maybe, but dangerous, no.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
That was stupid.
I warned her.
I should've done more.
I know what kind of a person this Danny is, and trust me, there's no stopping a man like that, so don't blame yourself.
You can't even think like that.
I have to think like that.
- Because it's true.
- Hey Before I died the first time, I had this awful feeling that I wasn't doing things right.
And then now, I have this incredible chance where I can change everything! And that feeling's coming back again.
It's like there's no version of myself that doesn't mess everything up.
That's not true.
When you stopped me at the bar, I listened to you because I recognized how right you were.
And I've been there before So close to slipping, but I couldn't help myself.
But you could.
I mean, you did.
You helped me.
And I don't think I'm ever going to forget that.
I am so lucky To have you in my life.
Having you here makes me feel like I can Like we can do everything right now.
Oh my not until your guest gets here.
- What does that mean, "your guest"? - I invited Nora Sargeant.
Nora Sargeant, that's the nurse from my hospital.
- Yep! - Why did you invite Nora Sargeant over? - Josh marries her.
- What? Don't say anything.
He doesn't know her yet.
Um, why would she come over and have dinner with us? You barely know her.
I don't know if you know this, but I'm extremely charming.
I'm starting to suspect that matchmaking is the best part of time travel.
Well, it's not the best part.
What's the best part? Wait, wait, wait! Let me get this straight.
You graduate MIT - Oh God! - Summa cum laude.
Then, the first job that you take is Bus boy! Railcar diner.
Saw some action over there.
Did time on the food prep line: Condiments, garnishes.
Didn't realize that MIT had such an outstanding culinary program.
Yeah, well, medicine and the food-service industry are very similar, actually.
Yeah, weird smells, impatient customers, drunk staff Oh yeah! I'm drunk right now.
No you're not.
Speaking of drunk right now, should we go? - Oh, right, yeah! - I'm taking Aidan out.
Is that ok? I don't wanna leave you with the mess.
- I could stay and help clean.
- That's so nice! That's very nice of you.
It's no problem.
Don't wait up.
We'll be really late.
- Subtle, what you just did.
- Yeah.
What are you guys gonna be doing? Ok, I wanna see these bus-boy moves in action.
I don't get this.
I don't get this, Sally.
I just don't Where did you come from? Great technique, impressive routine, superb music selection.
But your blood bag lagged on the downbeat.
What the hell are you doing here, Marcus? Well, Bishop was curious when you'd fall off the wagon, and by the looks of this tasty-looking thing, I'd say soon.
- Now you listen to me very closely - Marcus How much longer do you think it'll be till Bishop finds out you're balls-deep with the Amish? Who are you? I'm the ghost of Christmas-suck-it! What does that mean? It's an expression, in reference to penetration so deep No, no, no.
What was that? He wants you back in Bishop's pocket.
Stay away from him.
I need a drink! I need a drink, I need a drink! Hey, wipe the table down when you're done, ok? Josh, you're probably gonna wanna be with Nora tomorrow.
Yeah, you're gonna have that extra wolfy "je ne sais quoi" left over from your change tonight, and Nora said that it was best around that time, so yeah.
- She told you that.
- Yeah.
Well, in the future, Nora and I are galfriends, and right now, we're on our way to being galfriends.
Deal with it.
Hey, you guys are together for like a month.
Things must be going pretty well.
- I guess.
- No, don't guess! Guess-Josh finishes last! Listen, on one hand, I really like her.
It's going great.
She's really cool.
But I don't know.
I mean, the closer we get, the more danger I put her in.
How am I gonna keep what I am from her? Tonight, when she clocks out, she might wanna go to a bar, or the movies.
I'll be skulking down to the hospital basement to turn into a werewolf and grow claws, and oh my God! This is pointless.
I can't do this to someone like Nora.
I need to end this, if only for her safety.
I'm gonna stop you right there.
I'm gonna stop you right there.
- Josh! You marry her! - Oh! Yeah - She's lying.
- I'm not lying.
It's sweet of you to lie to build my confidence, also kind of bitchy I am not lying.
I'm telling you, you would marry Nora regardless of this conversation.
I'm just helping you through some relationship hurdles.
You marry her! I'm, uh I can't do it.
There's a full moon coming.
I can't, I can't, I can't! Mazel tov, pal! Kids! Josh? Hey! - You're on the schedule? - No.
No, I just I forgot something, so I'm just gonna - Can we talk? - Now? Do you wanna just go in here? - I like you.
- I like you.
But there's something wrong.
- You run every time we - No, there's nothing wrong.
There's nothing wrong.
But I can't be here right now.
I gotta go.
Are you attracted to me? Yeah! Yes! Yes! It hurts me to even hear you say that.
You're so beautiful.
Josh Whoa! White butt! White butt! Sorry! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, the nurse said you were in here.
I just brought your bag.
- Oh! But yes! - The moon is coming! - What? - Yeah.
Oh God! What was that? Josh, what's going on? We gotta get you to the basement now! Don't stop! Go! Go, Josh! Stay back, Nora! Stay back! What's going on? Aaah! - What's going on? - Get out! - Get out, Nora! - Josh! Aaah! When you knew me before, how did I marry Nora? She was a wolf too.
You scratched her.
Ha! She's better off witht me.
You should kill me.
Lift your curse.
Hey, would you shut up? I'm really over the whole moping around bit.
My life right now is so much better than it used to be, and I'm really not blaming anyone for little hiccups.
Oh God! Changing into a wolf is not a little hiccup.
Honestly though, I've seen you change, and every month, you hum and haw and hiss and pooh-pooh on it, and it really doesn't seem that bad.
I'm just gonna say it.
- Sally, I'm sorry.
- Stop apologizing.
Let me finish.
You don't know what this curse is yet.
You don't.
You don't know what I've done to you.
The wolf doesn't just change you physically.
It changes who you are.
Well, there's strength in numbers, right? I think Aidan blames me for - And he should.
- Josh I'm with you.
Always.
- So, coffee stain? - Yeah, no.
Feces.
- Oh! - Yeah, I spilled a bedpan.
Awesome day.
I don't know what she sees in him.
No, no.
I know exactly what she sees in him.
She doesn't see a wolf.
She doesn't know that you're a wolf.
No, she thinks I'm a mental case who barks when he has sex, then has his friend drag him to the basement where she spends the rest of the night with him.
I hate that smug prick.
And I overheard in the locker room the other day that Reed is going to propose to her.
Good.
- A normal life.
I'm happy for her.
- Ok, I understand that you're upset.
Put it in perspective.
You were only together a month.
- There are other girls.
- It's not just about that.
This whole situation has put things in perspective.
It's made it perfectly clear that I will never have a human life.
Oh, Josh! You could have a normal, human life.
- Look at me and Sally.
- You guys are doing great.
But I just I wonder if You couldn't use a dose of caution.
Excuse me? What do you mean, "a dose of caution"? - We can trust Sally, Josh.
- I know you say that She's helped me keep Bishop away.
You've got a lot of nerve saying that she's the problem.
I know she's helped you, ok? But, I mean, has she? I don't know.
We don't know! I just don't want this whole thing to blow up in your face.
Mm-hmm.
- Let me ask you something.
- What? When we sleep together, in the future, where do we sleep? Do we sleep upstairs? Do we sleep downstairs? Do we get a motel room? What happens? Um We don't sleep together.
No, I mean, after you got your body back.
Yeah, we don't sleep together.
But wait a second.
I was attracted to you the moment that I - I flirted with you! - I know! So, obviously, we must've No.
We obviously mustn't've.
We don't sleep together.
No, I don't like this.
Josh always texts me back.
He probably left his phone in his bag.
He said he'd meet me in the woods.
I'm gonna go.
Uh, be careful, ok? What's that about? Well, you're going out there alone.
And, uh - What? - Nothing.
Tell me! It's just something I figured out recently.
But you know what? Now's not the time.
- It's not a big deal.
- Oh, man! The only thing creepier than grim Aidan is cryptic Aidan.
And blood-drunk Aidan.
What is it? I love you.
I love you.
So, um, is this weird for you? - Is it too much? - Yeah, it's super weird.
Oh my God! It's so weird.
I'm gonna bite you on your face.
It's wonderfully weird.
- I'm gonna go.
- Ok.
Be careful.
Seriously.
- Ok.
Yeah.
- Ok.
I just don't understand why he didn't call.
- Should we check the woods? - Oh my God! - Hey! Where were you? - Hey, I'm sorry, ok.
What the hell is Ray doing in our home? - Have we met? - You tried to ruin my friend's life.
Come on.
Don't talk to him like that.
What's this? A housebroken leech? - Ray! - Be careful, old man.
Guys, stop it! Come on! Stop it! Come on! Ok, I'm gonna circle back when it's not so crowded.
Yeah, good.
- Look, Sally, I'm sorry I wasn't there.
- Josh, Ray is evil.
He tries to kill Nora.
That's not what happened! That's not what happens, ok? I'll never have Nora.
I'll never have a normal life.
I'm done pretending that I'm not a monster! You don't have to be, Josh! Ray is your maker! If you kill him, it lifts the curse.
What the hell are you talking about? I'm seriously, he's a bad man.
You have to believe me.
- If you kill him - I'm not gonna kill him, Sally.
I'm not a murderer.
I'm not gonna kill the guy.
If what Sally says is true, then that's the guy that took everything from you, - and your life could be - This is my life, man! This is my life! Not your version of it, Sally! This is it! Don't you understand that? This is it for me! I don't fit in here anymore! I don't fit in here anymore, and the longer that I stay, the worse I feel about what I am.
It wasn't supposed to be this way! It wasn't supposed to be this way! - Josh, please! - No! No.
There's nothing left There's nothing left for me in this house except a failed experiment.
I'm moving out.
This is all wrong.
I messed it all, now it's changing things.
You didn't cause this.
Well, Josh is ruining his life with Ray because of me.
He's not ruining his life.
It's just different.
Josh will recover.
Different isn't wrong.
It is wrong.
It's wrong.
This is not how it was supposed to be.
Not how it's suppo Sally, when are you going to give up on this preconceived notion of the way that things should be.
You know that this is the first time in over 200 years that I have felt human? What, am I supposed to feel guilty about that? Are we supposed to feel guilty because this guy refuses to get his life together? Oh my God! - I changed you.
- Oh God, Sally! The Aidan that I love That I've always loved Would never give up on Josh.
- Sally - Oh my God! I don't think that we're meant to be together! - Wait a second.
- I can't do this.
- No, we're roommates.
- Hold on.
We're supposed to be roommates.
That's all that we can be until I fix this.
Please just stay here and talk to me.
- I'm sorry.
- Sally, don't do this.
You ever been attacked by a leech? Yeah.
Two of them.
They cornered me, threw me down, beat the hell out of me.
That goes on a little bit too much Except when the moon is big and round, like it is tonight.
You know what? I wanna show you something.
Come on! I wanna show you something! That gentleman sent you a drink.
So glad to see the Aidan I know and love is back.
- Why do we fight? - Because we hate each other.
Hey, let me ask you something.
How do you like 'em aged? I'm gonna buy you a drink.
Huh? Ladies! Hello! This is where they gorge themselves.
I once saw a funeral van here loaded with bodies covered in bite marks.
- They don't all come here.
- Think your friend's different? They all come here, so blood drunk, they can hardly walk.
They're ripe for the popping.
What are you doing here? Why are you here? Do you know what this place is? Yeah, I followed Aidan here, then realized what it was when he went in.
Josh, whatever Ray is trying to get you to do, you don't need to do this.
- You should go.
- No, this isn't you.
You don't you don't know me.
Josh, we can stop this now! We can stop this.
It looks like we got some strays in need of obedience training.
You want some of this? That's a nice leather jacket.
Dead flesh, undead flesh.
Ah! - Aidan! - All right, all right! There's no line in the sand here.
Look at the puppy.
Ray! - Stop! Stop! - Hey, hey, hey! You're one of us now, huh? Why don't you just enjoy it? Enjoy it! And join the party! Ha ha! That's my boy! Ah! Aidan! Aidan! Hey! What are you doing? Are you crazy? What do you think? - What are you doing? - Hey! Stop it! What do you mean? - Hey! - Sally! Oh God! Oh God! No, no, no, no! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Split! Let's go! Let's go! - No! - I forgive you.
I love you.
No, baby, don't do this to me, please! Please, don't go! Don't
