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! I don't have to listen to you ever again! Where did you come from? Josh, we can stop this now! We can stop this! - What are you doing? - Hey! Stop it! Oh, baby, don't do this to me, please! Please don't go! Guess I was meant to die with my head bashed in.
Sally It's ok, you can let me go.
I can't! Aidan, it's not me anymore! Are you gonna Go through your door now? I don't get a door.
Baby What were you doing here? Why were you here? I just thought I could stop you from drinking.
I just wanna hold you! I'm gonna miss that the most.
Oh no! They made the call.
You're not gonna wanna see what happens next.
Just, please - No, I wanna see - Go! Yeah, I got it.
Stay back.
Ah, look at this! This is quite a picture.
It's very West Side story.
- Quite the homecoming, Aidan.
- I'm not back, Bishop! No, you're just blood-drunk and high with a dead wolf splayed at your feet.
I'm not animal control.
She is not an animal! You listen to me.
You're going to do this, and you'll do it for me as a favour! - That's what I'm gonna do? - Yes, you are! You haven't talked to me in, what, a year? More? What, now you need me? Now I'm your foul-weather friend? Like the chick you like to bang and never take to the prom? Oh, I've cleaned up far worse messes for you! Who killed your girlfriend, Aidan? Wolves Wolves You know the friends you can call at 2:00 A.
M.
Who roll out of bed, no questions asked? They're golden.
I'll take care of it.
We'll make this right, ok? We gotta figure out where we're going, Boston's burned.
- Too many vamps know us! - I have to go back! I have to go back.
I just left Aidan there.
Like, I just ran away! Your best buddy didn't lift a finger to stop it.
He was drunk off his ass draining live girls.
You saw the blood coming out of him.
How many do you think they killed? You're the only one that's killed tonight! So far let's not put a cap on the evening, my friend.
We can take him, Josh.
For once, it's a fair fight! Ray, shut up! Enough! I love a stray with personality, Aidan.
I got dibs on this one.
Aidan Aidan, don't do this! - Don't do this.
Josh is your friend.
- And they murdered you! He has been with you way longer than I have! Do not go back to the way he is! If you do that, what we have is over.
Aidan, it was over when they opened her head on the pavement.
Aidan, listen to me.
It was an accident.
It was a mistake! It was never meant to be like this! Please, please understand! Aidan, no, stop! Please stop! No! No! No! - You're a monster.
- Get outta here! You know, when I first met you, I made a mistake.
I really think I should've let Marcus finish you off.
- Stop it! - Shut up for a second! If I ever see you again, I'm going to kill you.
W-w-what, that's what you call justice? - No! - Avenging the one you love? You don't understand! You don't know him.
You don't know how much he hates himself.
Killing him, that would be mercy.
Ain't that right? Huh? "We lost Nora! Oh! We lost Nora!" The one woman that you were meant to be with, and you couldn't land it.
Why? Because of what you are.
Oh, you know what else? Look! I took your one chance to cure yourself, to lift the curse.
Well, you know what, you have a nice life, ok? Hey, this whole thing was your idea.
Living together, trying to be human was your idea! Ok, you don't wanna do it, I will.
Hey! Let him suffer.
The eye thing was a perfect touch.
So you got to see the world.
You got to indulge in a totally alternative lifestyle, right? But there's no place like home.
I need a drink.
Of course, you do.
Drinks for my favourite son! Who's the punctual employee? Who? Who raised you? Oh, how is our little friend? Oh! Mmm, yeah! Healthy as a horse! But getting a little bit harder to come by if I'm being honest.
Well, we're just gonna have to raise the price of healthy blood just a skosh.
Oh, I see! So, the customer appreciates quality disease-free products.
You know what that reminds me of: Prohibition, slowly Jack up the prices.
This is food, man! You can go without whiskey.
You cannot go without your bread.
That's a good point! You know what occurred to me? This disease, this virus is what makes us kings.
That is pure profiteering.
Where is your conscience? - I think I left it inside.
- Yeah, go get it! All right.
This famine is making you unbearably popular.
Pie! Oh, wow, is that really one slice? It's a big piece, yeah! That's why I call it "die happy.
" Bold to bring up death while people are eating your pie.
You've got a sick, yet poetic sense of humour.
- Well! - Oh my God! You have to ask her out! She thinks "bleak" is a plus! So, you're all good? I gotta check on the ovens.
Oh, yeah! That should do me for, like, a month.
Oh my God, Josh! Why did you kick that girl in the teeth? She was begging for it.
Why didn't you ask her out? You haven't dated in, like, a year.
Because I'm a werewolf! No girl wants that.
If I could just If I can get to Ilana Oh my God! I'm not gonna track down some storefront psychic so that she can sling you into the future! No one can do that! Well, if I could just speak with Donna, maybe she could sling me into wherever the hell I'm supposed to be right now.
If I could just get to where I'm meant to be, we can still all be together.
- You, me, Aidan, Nora - Stop! Listen to me.
I've managed to cobble together a tiny existence of maybe not happiness, but ok-ness, and you keep trying to pry it out of my hands and blow it up! - I'm not try - Stop, stop! Your interventions don't help! Whatever charmed life in a brownstone you think we had is over.
- You scared the crap out of me.
- It's not nice to be spied on, is it? What other impossible request can I grant for you? Nora, we have a very simple agreement, we turn blind eye for what each other is doing.
- But you didn't exactly turn away.
- You're taking way too much blood.
There are fewer patients who haven't been exposed to the flu.
And that woman that you drew from? You almost killed her! How's your back, Nora? It's been, what, like, 5, Head nurse strung out on pain pills.
It's not exactly protocol, is it? You really ought to take better care of yourself.
I know Lynette worries.
Don't talk about my mother! Oops! One of the nurses found our blood.
She put it in the bank.
She thought someone had misplaced the bags.
Well, dammit, you better get it back! It's mixed in with the general pool.
I don't think you understand how much I need that blood, Nora.
I'm screening new donors as fast as I can.
If you didn't have to deliver to Bishop, we both could be a lot safer.
Never threaten Bishop.
Oh my God! Hey guys, the empty bags you can put them in the container over there.
- We recycle.
That's right, we do it right.
- Hey! If there's ever anything I can do down at the courthouse.
- Seriously, we'd all be dust without you.
- You got it, brother! Thank you! This is what I love to see.
The city coming together like this.
- What's up, daddio? - Hey! Refills! Wow, hell of a turnout.
You got a minute? Yeah! Yeah, sure! Marcus! You think you got enough in there? You lived through the '50s.
A 3-month supply of food in case a bomb drops - I remember it very, very well.
- A bizarre apocalypse.
I got ice chests in the basement, so don't worry about it.
What the heck's a matter with you? You skip your brekkie again today? Here! Um, I'm just gonna say this.
I'm coming up a bit short on this delivery.
Hmm! There was a mix-up at the hospital, but it's been taken care of.
Hmm! Everybody else seems to be pulling their weight.
And they don't have an endless supply of humans walking Wait, Marcus locks girls up Marcus doesn't complain about what he can't do! Ok, James, it's me, ok? So, what if we just borrow a little bit from the bank, just a couple of days, and I will have the blood to replace it.
If I had heard that, which I didn't, I'd have to replace you with someone who can keep the trains running! Don't threaten me, Bishop! We got a good thing at that hospital.
You know it, I know! - I don't wanna bust it out - No.
2 always works harder than no.
1.
- I'm sorry I even asked! - Shut up! Get outta here! A little sweeper, huh? Sweepy little guy.
Every job you have, just keeping everything tidy! Hello? Ilana! Hi, um, I'm Josh.
Hey! Uh, would you care for some pie? Eee! Diabetic.
Oh! Oh I can see why you called me.
- You can? - Yeah.
There's a very palpable, insistent spirit here.
Yeah, super insistent.
Except, like I said, she doesn't wanna be here.
She just wants to go back where she belongs.
Why don't you tell me what you know, and I'll see if I can exorcise her.
Oh, no, no! There's not gonna be any exorcising necessary.
No, I just need to find an acquaintance of yours.
Donna? - Can't help you there! - I don't know where she is.
She's not at the soup kitchen.
I'll pay! I'll pay for the exorcism.
No! You mislead me and you wasted my time.
Ilana, please, there are lives at stake.
Donna's the only one who can help.
Please! What's that? This is to help us find Donna and to protect us from her.
Ok, give me your hands.
- Can I help you? - Look at me.
Yup, your eyes are clearer.
Ok, just hear me out.
You have been under ghost possession.
I dragged you through salt, which ghosts cannot cross.
What? You, you possessed me? - Are you serious? - You can see her? Josh, I did it for us, so we could be where we belong.
No, I said "no, no, no" every time you asked! You raped my will! Oh God, yes, it's Sally.
She's a ghost.
She's right there.
Yeah, I don't know what kind of crazy, codependent partnership you - no, it's not codependent! - Come on, we need her! - I don't touch that stuff! - I don't blame you at all! Unbelievable! - Yeah, hello! - Freeze up! - What do you need, sweetheart? - Hey, where's Bishop? Are you in charge of the blood now? You, like, have your own supply? - I always have my own supply.
- Sorry, I didn't know.
Thanks, Mr.
Waite.
Remember who your friends are.
No no! I completely understand, and I take full responsibility.
But on the bright side, you got your money, the trains run on time Aidan, shut up! I'm gonna replace your stash.
By tomorrow, I will have all of the blood, plus a little extra.
Nobody else was slow this week.
Marcus, no one's talking to you! Wipe that grin off your face! You look like the kid about to eat everyone at Christmas.
Wipe it off! Ok, so let me get this straight.
You were giving away blood at your place for me Well, I didn't exactly give it So the huddled masses would know who to thank? Thank you, Aidan! You're so considerate! You know what your problem is? You're having growing pains.
And that's ok.
We'll get through this together! Together! Just the two of us.
You know what I love about the old country, the punishments always fit the crime.
And you know what the punishment was for stealing? I would never do that to you.
You're my best boy! Sometimes, you need a little theater to make your point.
I'd pay to see that show.
Wallace! This degenerate, on the other hand, has been skimming off the top, haven't you? - What? I make my quota! - Seriously? Look at us! We are rationing ounces, and you are practically glowing.
- You look like you're swimming in it! - No! I can smell the fresh on you.
I give you everything I get, I swear! It's still my turn.
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna teach you a little lesson in gluttony.
No, Bishop! Are you really still mad at me? It's been 24 hours! Come on, would you just yell at me, at least? Because the silent treatment is driving me bat-crunk.
Josh, you literally the only person I have to talk to.
Yeah, I know.
You're my only friend.
And you completely betrayed my trust, Sally.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! No, I mean, I I just can't trust you anymore.
Are you happy right now? Answer me! Are you happy? Because in the other life, it was better! You know what? Pie makes things better.
You? - Don't iron me.
- I'm tempted.
Josh, stop adding up maple syrup in your head.
- I know, I know! - I have a job now.
I'm kicking in for groceries.
Did you just possess me again? No! Are you ok? You just had some weird, like, non-shaking seizure.
- No, I had - The left side of your face is moving.
- Put your hands over - I I had a memory.
It was us, the three of us in the kitchen: You, me and Nora.
But that never happened.
Ok, yeah, um It's one of the side effects of me possessing you.
I leave memories behind.
Oh, great! Great! So now I have little bits of your head in my brain.
Is that is that right? So how long does that stick around? - I don't - Oh, forever? Forever, then? - I'm not sure! - It's not bad enough I have my own tortured memories of Nora.
Now, I have yours too! Ma'am, we're closed.
I'm sorry.
I thought I locked the door! Josh! Josh! Sorry about that! Huge bug back there.
Oh my God! Thank God! Are you ok? I just killed a vampire.
I'm nowhere near a full moon! - Did you see that? - Yeah! Settle down! She was on her deathbed and a teenager.
You didn't even see it, Sally! It was I saw it and I wish you hadn't ironed me, because I was trying to tell you she had the virus.
What are you talking about? Oh my God! Aidan! - Glad to see your face isn't falling off.
- That's a hell of a thing to joke about.
Nice jacket.
What do you want? I just need to talk to you.
- Could we go in? - I thought I was a monster.
Let's go inside.
Wait, wait, wait! Hold on! Hold on for a second.
What is this about? It's about you.
It's about me? What does that mean? Well, both of you, actually.
What the hell is this? You know something? I seem to recall I told you that the next time I saw you, I'd kill you, - So what's to stop me from killing you - You wanna rumble? By the recycling bins? - Maybe? I got a pretty big stick.
- But mine's bigger.
Boys, boys! Penises down.
You need Josh, you psycho.
You need his blood.
Nora? Hi, I just saw you, and I thought I wanted to say hi.
- Didn't you move away from Boston? - Yeah, I did.
I did.
I'm just here, uh I'm here visiting Aidan.
Who, apparently, you're not a fan of.
How can you be friends with someone like that? - You know what he is? Are you one too? - No.
No, no, no, no.
I I'm I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to upset you.
I How's Dr.
Reed? Divorce goes through next month.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Turns out marrying a serial cheater isn't the way to happily ever after.
'Cause you are just so, so awesome.
I kissed him too soon.
- And I didn't write any vows.
- That's all right.
- Oh God, I love you! - That'll do.
Sorry, I just blanked out for a second.
You ever have those, uh, intense pangs of déja-vu? Yeah.
Anyway, I should get back.
Yeah, yeah.
Nora Take care of yourself, no matter what 'Cause you are so, so awesome.
Glad you straightened out your supply chain.
I told you I would.
I knew you were good for it.
Well, then I suppose I ought to be thankful that you didn't carve my fangs out of my head.
I'll tell you what: Let's just put aside this shakespearean crap once and for all, shall we? Well, do we have a choice? You can't pick who your family is.
Well, you can.
- Guest first.
- Really? You think I'm gonna drag an entire case of tainted blood into your - Go ahead! - Mmm, hot damn! That's fresh! Still feel kind of a quiver in it.
Salut.
More! - Here, have another.
- Ah, ok.
Double fist it.
Have you dated a werewolf? That ever happen to you? Can we get some more of this? What's that mean? Wiped her ass 'cause she took a shit, but Hey.
How are you feeling? I'm all right.
Where have you been? Just tying up some loose ends.
Well, you don't have to be so creepy about it.
But good.
Thank you, both of you.
You saved me once, the night we met.
What's a slug or two of my blood, you know? Let's call it even.
You guys can go now.
Wait! I thought you'd come with us.
I am about to get everything that I have worked for.
So, I guess that makes me king of the hill.
Let's go, Sally, there's no one here anymore.
This is who we came back to save? You were better off dead.
Is there anything that you need me to take care of? Bishop - You never once turned your back on me.
- Spare me the minuet of grief.
You're here to gloat.
Welcome to your coronation.
I do have a question, though.
How did you poison me And not one blemish on you? It was a crazy fluke.
I think some of us are immune.
Bishop, you've got it wrong.
I know you killed me, Aidan.
Half of Boston knows.
You think Marcus is gonna come busting through that door? Nobody, not even Marcus, is gonna stand up for a dying king and piss on the new one.
Oh my God! Bishop Are you afraid of what's on the other side? I don't know.
Maybe we got it wrong.
Maybe there's something waiting for us.
Maybe I am the other side.
When you died, I was waiting for you on that battlefield.
I was.
I hope you're this lucky when it's your turn.
You don't get taken out by some stray stake But by someone who fed from your blood, who you nourished for centuries.
A father never kills his son But always wants his son to surpass him.
I'm sorry that I didn't arrange it sooner then.
I knew you wanted to take credit.
You know, a year ago, you were laying with wolves and blubbering about ghosts.
And now, look at you.
You've killed your maker.
You've banished your lover and your friends.
And now, you're going to be Adam.
After this plague, rebuild our race with your blood.
My blood.
I said you couldn't stand where I stand.
You can.
You Are my perfect son.
This is your life.
Invisible security guard to a middling pie shop.
Did you come here to get a booster dose already? You're gonna have roofie some wolf chick, 'cause Josh is not gonna put out again.
Sally, I Listen, when you died, I was the reason why you were there.
I I couldn't look at you.
I I can't even look at you now.
I couldn't look at Josh.
Yeah, it really got messed up.
That's what I'm talking about.
I messed it up.
Me.
We were happy, weren't we? You're this power-crazed tornado of self-destruction.
Well, at least I got to be with you.
Sally? Sally, Sally, what's happening? Oh my What do I do? Tell me what to do! Finally! I have been trying to summon you for months! Donna? What the hell kind of a thing are you? - That's a sprite? - I'm a ghost! We're friends, sort of.
I'm from the future, and I just need your help to return.
So, here's the thing: In the other timeline, you ate my soul.
Then, you kind of blew up, and we've been, like, spiritual siamese twins ever since.
So, that's what that that pulling! You have been tapping into my juice! Well, not intentionally.
I just need to go where I belong.
Can you do that? You want me to send you to the future so you can blow me up and steal all my power! No, that's not what happened! I'm not doing that! Hey, what the hell? We're linked! Would you just listen to me? I saw you in andover.
I saw you hanging.
It was never your choice to eat souls or be the wicked witch of the east.
I'm not into pop-psychology! Especially from an unhinged parasite! All right, what about this, then? In the future, you change.
You don't do magic anymore.
You ask me to release you, and I do.
You.
You actually turn out to be kind of a badass, cool lady.
Surprisingly.
You can't trust a witch! Black magic inevitably - It's not black magic, for God's sake! - But does it involve Satan? 'Cause I'm not down with that.
Guys, look.
Donna and I have an intense history together.
Like, "a been to hell and back" history.
Now, she can reset our lives to how they're supposed to be, but we each have to agree.
I mean, vampire, werewolf, ghost I'd re-roll the dice if I were you.
Aidan, look, like, your life is a terrible, rotten cesspool, so there's that.
But Josh, you have the most to lose.
As much as I make fun of you, you have pie, regulars.
You know, that still sounds like you're making fun of me.
You've built this quiet little cocoon of a life into which a cute crust enthusiast may wander, if you let her.
I just wanna know one thing.
I marry Nora, right? And she's not a Vicodin addict? No.
Yes.
- Oxycontin? - No! Ok.
That's what I want.
I want that.
I want the future that I saw, with Nora.
That's where I belong.
Ok, none of this time before Sally got here will have happened.
Who you think you are, you'll have no memory of.
You are casting your lines into an unknown sea.
When I send you forward, you may bounce around in time a little bit first.
It's not like punching a reset button.
It's like tying a bungee cord to you and kind of hurling you out.
You're gonna overshoot before you stop.
Well, that doesn't sound great.
What if the tether snaps? It's a metaphor.
You'll settle at the right time.
Look, I need her to even more than you do.
I'll see you.
Oh no, are we really gonna have some epic Casablanca goodbye? So, um, if I forget And I'm different, make me remember.
I love you.
I think I've loved you for a while now.
I just didn't realize it.
Then make me remember.
I have to know.
Ok, people! It's time.
Aidan, Aidan! - Listen.
- Hey! What's the one thing - that gave me any hope? - Josh, hey! I know you're confused, but I can explain this, pal.
- All right? - This is on you.
Josh! Oh my God! Oh no! Josh! Roger that.
Oh my God! Oh my God! What did you do? Josh Sally, I am so sorry.
Hey! You're back.
Who is that? We called the police for Robbie.
I'm so sorry, we didn't know what to do.
You were gone all night, and we just We didn't wanna leave him.
Did we Do the right thing? Yeah.
Oh my God, I'm back to where I belong.
Please tell me you remember.
Uh, is this about the showerhead? Sally.
Sally Where did you go? Oh my I went to the past a couple years ago, and then the future.
Wow.
Like, next year the future or, like, 2085 the future? No, it felt really close.
