Being Human (US) s04e10 Episode Script
Oh Don't You Die for Me
Previously on Being Human I'm from the future, and I need help to return.
Who you think you are now, you will have no memory of.
If I forget, make me remember.
I love you.
- I'm back.
- As long as I am alive, I will keep you safe.
What's the real reason you came back? To kill vampires before they kill people.
I killed our little boy.
I drained every last drop - from his tiny body.
- No! What happened last night? I don't remember everything, but I feel Joshy boy's wolf thought it would be ok to sleep with my wife during the change! What? The wolf is winning! Just get out! - Please don't go.
- I'm scared of you.
Find a way to deal with what you are, 'cause I can't.
Can you tell us why we're here? 'Cause this took a lot of convincing.
I just wanted to apologize for everything and make tonight a new start.
I'm only here to see what you have to have to show us, not to make friends.
Ok.
What are we doing here? You dusted the majority of their patrons.
It just might be wise to keep a low profile.
I agree.
That's why I need you.
You ended Amy's life yesterday.
I haven't forgotten.
I know that.
I believe you.
Sometimes remorse isn't enough.
It will need a life for a life, Aidan.
Who's life? I don't understand.
Well, I've been slowly chipping away at this vamp population, but I need to hit this Boston nest where it hurts.
That's their leader.
You're gonna end him.
I know what you're doing.
- I'm just having a conversation! - No, you're holding me up so I'll be here when Nora picks up her stuff.
- Is Nora coming here? Good! - Sally, come on! It gives you a chance to say hi to check-in and maybe let her know that you're gettin' your life back together! That's a great idea! Who wouldn't wanna be with a cheater with anger issues? - Josh - No! - She's moving out, Sally.
- Well, don't let her, Josh! Listen, I would have done anything to make this work.
I'm late.
I gotta go meet up with Andrew and Caroline.
Ok, don't go start a new pack.
Just start fresh with Nora.
Sally, listen, I know you spent years in, like, back to the future, bizarre old version of us, but in this world, right now My wife is terrified of me.
That's my reality.
Well, it was real to me! What was real? If I forget, make me remember.
I think I've loved you for a while now.
Then make me remember.
I have to know.
Sally? What? Uh, nothing.
Um Nothing.
Put some frickin' clothes on! You guys you guys don't do anything halfway, do you? Well, we loved our place in the city, but priorities change.
- Oh, yeah? - It's so quiet.
It sure is.
It kind of drives me bonkers! Me too, but we'll get used to it, right? The most important thing is keeping April safe and sound.
That just wasn't gonna happen in the city.
Hello, hello! Hey! Hey! Josh, you made it! Yeah, yeah.
Bring it in! Do you know how happy I am that you're here? Mm-hmm.
It's so good to see you! So, what's up with the Are you preparing for the apocalypse? The groceries You didn't tell him about the party? We invited the entire pack by for a pre-turn housewarming.
Thought we'd give 'em the lay of the land, then tomorrow night, we run.
It'll be like a long weekend with wolves.
You're all gonna turn here? At the same time? - Yeah.
- That's the plan! Part of keeping April safe is keeping the pack safe, right? It's too dangerous for us to turn at the same place as last time.
There's even news reports of wolf sightings! And with hunting season starting We found this place just in time.
I got enough room, it's just, I'd like it if you were there, gave it your seal of approval.
He doesn't do anything wolf-related without checkin' on you first.
- Amen to that! - Mm-hmm! - I'll try and make it.
- Try? No, no, no, no.
It's not a party without our pack leader.
Why would you want to change with that Mark guy? He punched you in the face! Yeah, but to be fair, I did wolf-mate his wife.
Ok, yep, in that case, then you should change with them instead of Nora! Nora doesn't wanna be near me, ok? Human or wolf.
- Let's just let it go, please! - I can't! I can't let it go, Josh! You're a weird wolf thing because of me, because of my spell.
If I had been there to finish it, maybe none of this would have happened! Yeah, right! And I'd still be a wolf all the time.
Well, why don't you just let me try to fix that? No, absolutely not! No more magic, ok? If you even try another spell, we may never see you again! You know what? What if it works? What if I can get that guy back? - Then, it's worth it to me.
- Well, it's not to me.
Whatever I am now, I can deal with.
Losing you forever No, it's not an option.
I'm sorry.
Well, you're very sweet and I love you, but this wolf is not who you are.
Because that wolf chased Nora away.
Ok, Nora can't accept what I am Understandably so, ok? But Mark and Andrew and Caroline, they don't just accept me, they want to be me.
And it actually feels kind of good.
I mean, it feels good to be, like, the Alpha for once, you know? - What? - You're not the Alpha.
You think you're Alpha? You're not.
You're a Beta.
You are a nice, solid Beta.
And that's ok! Because everyone loves a Beta! - Nora loves her some Beta - Nora, who moved out Who slept with a knife under her bed because she was afraid of me.
Nora Who I might have told to come over later because you'd be here.
See ya! Peace! W-what? I'm sorry.
I can, uh I'll just come back.
It's totally fine.
I'm on my way out.
Um it'll only take me a couple of hours to get the rest of my stuff.
Take your time.
Hey, uh Do you have a Do you have a place to change tonight? Yeah.
You? Mm-hmm, yeah.
Hey, um Just be safe.
You too.
It took 240 years, but the streak is over.
What streak is that? I've finally become the nagging wife.
We had an agreement.
Uh you know, we didn't exactly have an agreement, but what we talked over, I haven't forgotten.
Every day that kid is in charge, people die.
The body count keeps ticking up.
I'm not particularly interested in a suicide mission.
- He's far too well-protected.
- For me, maybe, but not you.
I'm sure if Aidan Waite asks for a meeting, he'll get one.
Maybe you're not all that interested in changing.
Hey! Maybe killing that girl the other night, maybe that's just who you are now.
No, it isn't! But I don't wanna see anyone else die.
That's it.
Then protect them.
What are you doing? Are you kidding me? It's from our church in Corwich.
That's the last place I want a souvenir from! It's not all that bad.
We got married there, baptized Isaac.
After he died, I went in there and I took that.
- I even said a prayer.
- Said a prayer to what? It isn't like there's a heaven waiting for us.
Well, maybe there is for Isaac.
When I made that, killing other vampires was the last thing on my mind.
You were gonna use this on yourself.
It's harder than it seems, isn't it? You thought about it too? Yeah.
Sometimes, I think it's the only decent thing that we can do, but I never could either.
You think I have self-discipline, willpower.
If I did, I would have been dust centuries ago.
Beating yourself up over it isn't gonna help anything either.
It'll help the next Isaac.
You think those new vampires are really that different, that they're so evolved? You should pull your head out of the sand and go see what they're really doing.
- Hey, I'd be happy to check out - And then, put an end to it! Sorry things are still rocky between you and Nora.
Well, that makes 2 of us.
It's like she knew you a certain way, but you're just You're not that guy anymore.
You're this guy.
And this guy is awesome.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, I don't know, I'm, uh I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm, um Almost look forward to this turn.
Because you're with us.
And I mean this when I say this: Everyone here gets you, Josh.
And Nora will too.
She just has to come around and deal with what you are now.
You're right.
It just It's so weird not turning with her.
If it's any consolation, it looks like we're both flying solo.
Wendy's not here? Uh, she, uh Wanted to take a bit of time, you know, away from everything.
I'm should we I'm so sorry, by the way.
- I don't know - I don't want to - Should we talk about it? - No.
About what happened? - No, let's - What's up, Andrew? Look, I had a blowup, but I promise it will never happen again, not after I realized what you are.
What am I? You're this special kind of wolf.
The way you can change whenever you want, do you know how amazing that is? When I saw that, I got it.
I saw what Wendy saw, and it's pheromones, man! You can't fight that! Ok And I realized that the wolf knows things before we do, and I have to trust those instincts.
Deviled-egg dude! Hey, man! - Hey, how are you? - Good.
And you? - How's the arm? - Fully operational.
That's good.
You must be Josh.
Yeah, I am.
It's so great to finally meet you.
He's taller than I thought.
- He is, yeah.
- I'm standing right here.
I heard about how you delivered Caroline's baby.
Oh, I didn't do It was my wife, mostly.
Dude, it was you.
It was me and my Me and my wife.
It was him.
It takes a special person to do that for a stranger.
I do what I can! That's why I trust you.
Anyway, I can't wait to see you later.
Isn't she cute? What the hell is she doing here, man? By the way she spoke to you, I'm guessing whatever you want.
No, I mean, why would they bring her here, now? She's here for the same reason as everyone else is here, - to turn together.
- I can smell her.
She's not a wolf! Not yet.
Hey! - Hey! I recognize that voice! - How are you doing? I'm good.
Did I owe you a phone call? - Mm-mmm.
- Ok, good.
'Cause I've been pretty crazed here.
No kidding! What's going on? It's a lot, I know.
It's weird how quickly we're blowing up.
Indeed, right.
How does this all fit in with your "we're doing things differently" spiel? Oh, we are.
I mean, who knew that vampire re-population was gonna be such a growth industry? Well, anybody who's ever sold anything to an addict.
Well, don't worry.
We've still got the full veggie options at our new blood dens.
Oh, at the blood dens? Really? How many blood dens do you have these days? Just a few.
Not that you asked me my advice, but don't you think you ought to just slow down a little bit? Well, I mean, I'm barely doing anything.
I'm serious! People are actually coming to me, from everywhere: Providence, Baltimore, Buffalo See, they want me to do there what I'm doing here.
Well, you know that you can always say no, right? Well, I mean, it's kind of rude not to hear them out, right? Hmm.
You know what people like about the way I do things? What's that? See, most of the old-timers are grim.
I hope you don't mean me! No offense.
Just listen.
They're all about the "plague this, Bishop that.
" Most of the new ones didn't want to be turned.
Hmm I mean, you know me.
This is all I've ever really cared about.
You gotta be a fan first, right? Don't get me wrong.
I'm not trying to harsh the old regime.
I'm saying there's improvements.
We're a little more open-minded.
We're not locked in the way of thinking that the old guys were.
Well, look, you are sitting where Bishop sat and you are telling me how different you are.
I was there, and I knew all of Bishop's plans.
You're starting to sound like Bishop.
Just blue sky-ing here.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Can you give me one second? Thanks.
Everybody knows what they're doing? If you have questions or concerns, come to me.
- Hey! - Hey! Astrid Um Aidan, you remember Astrid, right? Yeah! - The world's worst baby shower! - Indeed, yeah! I'm sorry my friends trashed your place.
Believe me.
That place has seen worse.
Are you allowed to be here? Yeah.
I mean, I got some glares.
Yeah, but if anybody has a problem, they keep it to themselves.
They've actually been way cooler than my pack has to Kenny.
- Really? - You break one guy's arm They'll get over it! Or I'll stop turning with them.
Ok.
Andrew and Caroline invited us all to their new place for the turn.
Anyways, I should get going.
Well, the turn is tomorrow, though, right? Yeah, they want some pack bonding time.
I just hope they don't make us do trust falls.
Well, I packed you a change bag, and I might have thrown in an extra rump roast.
I saw it, and your note.
You did all right with this one! Ok, look, I know that expansion is a dirty word to you, but if I can go anywhere with Astrid and not get hassled for it, I'm gonna do it! Kenny, you can do whatever you want.
You can compel whoever you want, you can go wherever you want.
So, let me ask you this: Are you doing all of this for her Or is it for you? - No! - What the hell? I'm saving you from yourself! You saved me from aspirin! Oh, sorry, ghost foul.
What did you think I was taking? I don't know! Uppers, downers, reds, blues Whatever gets you through the day.
Sorry.
Ok, I've had my vices, but pills ain't it! Well, maybe not in this life, but when I went back in time, you went hardcore Nurse Jackie.
- I did? - Yeah.
You don't have to be so thrilled about it.
What? It's not like it actually happened.
I really wish that people would stop saying that.
It did actually happen.
It happened to me.
Every second of it actually happened.
And by the way, that's how I know that in either version, you and Josh are better together.
You don't think I wanna believe that too? So, what else happened when you went back in time? Well, um, I left Danny.
I became a werewolf.
Yeah.
And somewhere along the line, I sort of I kind of fell in love with Aidan.
Um, you what? You you fell in love with Aidan? Yes! And it's not the most ridiculous thing you ever heard! No, my God! Not at all! It's just - It's just unexpected! - I know.
And until Ray accidentally murdered me and turned me into a ghost again, it was kind of the greatest thing ever.
Well, does Aidan know? I mean, obviously, that Aidan knew.
- But this Aidan, did you tell him? - No! God no! No! First of all, healthy enough ego on that boy as is.
Also, back then, it was possible.
I was alive! Even when I was a wolf, I was alive.
And now, meh-meh.
But you guys could still be together, mostly.
Yeah, I don't think he thinks of me that way.
And it's ok, 'cause I didn't either until I got to go back and do it over from scratch.
And he never gets to do that, so I just don't I don't I don't see how he could feel like that for me.
Ok, no more cliffsnotes.
- I need to know everything.
- Ok.
Josh, hey, hey, hey, hey! Do you know about this? He's planning on turning all these people into wolves! Yeah, it was our idea.
What? You can't do this! They have no idea what's about to happen to them! You said you'd help us build the pack.
- This is what we need! - No! No! No, I said that I would teach you what I know, all right? I will never, ever pass this on willingly! You were alone when you were attacked.
- It'll be different.
- This is insane.
These people are gonna have us, a support system, a family.
Yeah, a Manson Family! I can't believe I didn't see They'll be killers.
Did you explain that? - Just calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down, Mark.
You met Charlotte.
Does she look like a victim? No! She wants to be here.
Everyone chose to be with us, ok? And you, man, you are the only one Don't touch me! You are the only one who can do this.
You're out of luck then.
We can't scratch them, not safely, not with the full moon.
As werewolves, we'll be too out of control! We'll go too far! We've seen what you can do.
You're the only one who can change at will! We're just gonna scratch the new ones.
That's why you invited me here.
This is it, huh? Well, you either just did a piss-poor job explaining it to those people or you just recruited a bunch of psychopaths.
Either way, I'm out of here! This is - Josh - Get out of my way.
Josh, I'm sorry.
The pack needs you.
I know this sounds weird, but I know exactly how you feel.
Oh yeah? You spend a lot of time naked in a cage? I was just like you, Josh.
Afraid, convinced that being a wolf was a death sentence.
The thought of passing it on to somebody else was terrifying, but then I had April.
She's your ch child, Andrew.
It's completely different.
You're gonna see, Josh.
Making your own wolf, it's not curse at all! Having April was the best thing that I ever did with my life.
If you're so convinced I'm gonna love it, why don't you let me the hell out of the cage, huh? We can't do that, Josh.
See, the cage is gonna keep everyone safe.
They just get a scratch.
And how do you know that I'm not gonna turn on you, huh? When I change? How do you know? Because we are your pack now.
That's right.
And we're gonna fall in line like we always have.
And you, you would never hurt your own pups.
You already have a pack! You already have one! Why do you need more wolves? One day, the truce with those parasites is gonna come to an end.
You have to understand that when that happens, we have to be ready.
The vamps can choose who can join them and when.
Us, it's more random.
You scratch somebody during a full moon, and they're one of us.
But with you leading us, we could finally choose who's part of our family too! And once you made a few of your own, you're gonna realize this is what you were meant to do.
This is crazy.
Just know that what you're asking me to do, I will never do this.
We have seen your true wolf, Josh.
You showed us.
And that is who we need helping us right now.
Come on, Josh! Show him to us again.
Never.
What are you doing? - I'm sorry, Josh.
- No.
No, no, no.
No, stop.
This is for everyone's good.
No! Stop! Do it again! Do it again! Josh ran a pie shop? That actually doesn't sound that bad! No, he was miserable.
Trust.
Am I horrible if that makes me feel just a little bit good? Don't pretend you don't know.
The guy is a wreck without you, past, present, future.
You know it! I know, but if I stay, I'm enabling him, this violent guy that he's ok with.
If I stay in this house, the next time someone gets hurt or worse I know.
I know.
It just breaks my heart to see you go.
Hmm, you look unhappy.
Is that because you kept your word or because you broke it? You're not the only one that I gave my word to.
What? Like you owe those vampires something? Not all of them, no.
But Kenny, yeah, I do.
Suzanna, Kenny is my son.
Oh! Well, that does change the equation, doesn't it? Yes, it does.
He saved me during the plague, and when he needed help, I gave it to him, - and I made him one of us.
- You call that help? You don't understand the circumstances.
He would've died if I hadn't helped him, and I gave him my word to do whatever it takes to protect him.
Now you want me to give him a pass too? He's different! Not He's not Bishop! Why didn't you tell me this when I first saw you? Because, Suzanna, I wanted you to know that I was a different kind of vampire, that I'm a little bit more like you.
And it's a little bit hard to do that when I just turned the next leader of Boston, ok? I understand a weakness for our kids, but I thought after that girl, after you dried up, I thought you were done with all this.
The pain that you felt after killing Isaac.
That never really goes away completely, does it? No.
Well, then why would you wish that on me? Don't ask me to do that to Kenny.
You're asking me to look the other way while people die.
I didn't know what he was up to.
I really didn't.
So just give me a chance to rein him in.
Fine, I'll give you 2 months.
And I'll have to trust that you can raise him up into something decent, like you would've with Isaac.
I will.
I will.
Fine, then I'll back off.
But if you can't get him under control, the next time I see you, you won't see me coming.
So what's next for you? Hmm? Are you gonna stay in Boston? No, I think I'll find someplace new.
I was just hoping that next place might've been with you.
Oh, hey hey! Uh, you got a minute? I just No, 'cause I'm doing Just kind of need some impartial advice from a friend.
Ok.
What am I crazy to let Suzanna leave town? She's the only wife that I ever had.
Suzanna's not right for you.
Ok, but what are the chances, you know, that someone that you love that much is gone, you think for good, then comes back Different, but the connection's still there.
I mean, what do you do? Do you just let them go? - No! - I thought you said Suzanna For the right person, yes, but Suzanna is not that person.
Ok, well, then who are we talking about? Are we talking about, like, Kat, or - Not Celine.
- Oh, also not right for you! Why not? - Ok, should we take Suzanna? - Sure! - She loves you in theory.
- Yes.
As long as you never mess up! She would never put up with you day to day.
No! Not the real you.
No! All right, well, that's true.
You need someone who knows that you slip.
You need someone who knows that you're not perfect, but who loves you anyway, who knows that you'll get there someday.
One day! Yeah, there's only one problem with that.
That woman doesn't exist.
- You've gotta stop them! - Astrid? They've got Josh.
How long has it been? Like 15 minutes? This is ridiculous.
We never should've let her go in there alone.
She'll be back soon.
I saw Josh.
He's in a cage in the basement.
Is he ok? Uh, he's in a cage in the basement! Right! Is there anyone else with him? - No, they just left.
- Where did they go? They're showing the new ones where to turn tomorrow.
It's like a super creepy college tour.
Well, are you gonna show us where Josh is? Ok, yes! Hello? Can we at least pretend we run a fake business? You don't wanna do this.
Oh, I heard that you can compel vampires.
That even gave me a little tingle.
Looks like the juniper's working.
- You want to let me go.
- No, I really don't.
Oh my God! Josh! Hey! You all right, pal? Let's get you out of here.
Come on, come on, come on! Come on! Let's go, man.
Let's go, Josh.
Come on.
We're gonna help you.
Guys.
Guys! Oh, you can leave, but he stays.
He's coming with us.
You already left him once.
You know how it's done.
And you picked the wrong night to cross us.
Let us leave with him.
Sorry, he's meeting his brand new family tomorrow.
Your wife and daughter are alive because of him, and you do this? We didn't kick Josh out for what he is.
You did.
We took him in.
At least, with these new wolves, he'll get the respect you should've given him.
We can take them.
No, Nora, we can't.
I can hear more coming.
Get Josh out of here.
- Go, Sally.
- I'm not leaving without you.
I got this.
Behind you! Behind you! Get out of here, Sally.
You don't wanna see what happens.
I'm not leaving! Ok.
No! Sally, you need to go.
I can't! I'm gonna enjoy this.
Nah! Ha! Hit him, hit him, hit him! Hit me! Get down! Get up! Sally, no more possessing! I'm serious! Hi! You know what? Hey, hey, hey! I can handle one guy! I know you can.
I know.
I just this one's for me.
Come on! You know what it does to you! What are you doing? - I need a body.
- Why? To remind you of this.
Please tell me you remember.
That was, uh - Confusing.
- Amazing! Have we done that before? Now hit me.
Punch me in the face! I can't hit a girl, not after that.
Oh really? You have to.
Ok.
So, um - Yeah, we gotta go.
- Ok.
Hey, uh, we gonna talk about this? Yes.
Yes, let's talk about it.
- Let's talk about it.
- Ok, first question: Was that you or was that the dude? Ok.
Hey! Hey, sweetheart, we gotta get you home.
No, just wait.
Let's talk about it.
No, you're glowing, Sally.
Well, it was a really good kiss! No, I mean that your skin It was a very good kiss.
It was a great kiss.
Um, I What? What is it? I don't know, I don't know! Really? You're reading that right now? It's nothing.
Even with 200 years of experience, you're a bad liar.
Ha ha! Just give me a second.
- Just go.
I'll meet you at home.
- No, I'm just gonna Wow! Just one little text is all that took.
You're much more responsive to this one than to me.
What happened to giving me 2 months to rein him in? That's an oddly specific time-frame, right? I find it helps with lies.
Please, let him go.
I killed our own perfect child.
What makes you think I'm gonna let this live.
Suzanna Don't do this.
I told you that he is my son, because I wanted you to understand I can't let anything happen to him.
What, like I didn't already know that? And you ask me to do that anyway? Because he's not your son! You had a son.
I wanted to be wrong about you.
I wanted to believe that deep in your core, there was some small shred of that good man that I loved.
Suzanna, there is and you know that.
No, there's not.
Not anymore.
Not after everything that you've done.
Everything that I've done? No, uh-uh.
Suzanna, I don't believe you.
You knew all about my reputation before you set foot in Boston.
When I rattled off all of those horrible, awful things that I did to my victims, if you were truly shocked, you would've ended me right there.
But you didn't.
You let me live! Why? To give you a chance to make it right, to kill your boy here.
You don't care about everyone that I've killed.
The thing that you can't get past is the one that you killed.
But that wasn't your fault.
It was Bishop's.
He made you what you are, just like I made Kenny! But this isn't about him, and it isn't about me.
- It is about you.
- No, it's about Isaac, and it has always been about Isaac.
All I did was forgive you.
That's what you hate.
And I do.
Suzanna, I forgive you.
Isaac was our child.
We were his parents! We are supposed to protect him! You did your best to protect him, and I forgive you.
This is your son? This is your son.
I want you to know how this feels.
- It wasn't your fault.
- Stop staying that! - Forgive yourself.
- Don't tell me how to grieve! Forgive yourself.
No! Forgive yourself.
Where did you go? It was a long night.
How are they? Josh is upstairs sleeping.
Sally's Oh no! Oh no, no, no, no! How long has she been like this? Almost since she got back.
I think she was keeping a lid on it, so you wouldn't worry.
Ok, she's gonna bounce back, right? She always bounces back.
Sally, you're gonna be ok.
You gotta be.
What did you want me to remember? You helped me, Sally.
You always help me.
I never should've let her stay.
She wanted to help.
I told her not to possess wolves.
She knows what it does to her, and I told her to leave.
She was never gonna leave you.
Yeah, but why would she do something so stupid? Because she's in love with you, you dummy.
You think Sally's been acting weird around you since she's been back? She has.
Because in that other life, you and Sally were in love.
Well, why wouldn't she tell me? We have to make sure she gets better so she can tell you herself.
I will.
I would do anything for her.
No, let me go! The blood of the child revives us.
No! Josh? Aidan! Nora!
Who you think you are now, you will have no memory of.
If I forget, make me remember.
I love you.
- I'm back.
- As long as I am alive, I will keep you safe.
What's the real reason you came back? To kill vampires before they kill people.
I killed our little boy.
I drained every last drop - from his tiny body.
- No! What happened last night? I don't remember everything, but I feel Joshy boy's wolf thought it would be ok to sleep with my wife during the change! What? The wolf is winning! Just get out! - Please don't go.
- I'm scared of you.
Find a way to deal with what you are, 'cause I can't.
Can you tell us why we're here? 'Cause this took a lot of convincing.
I just wanted to apologize for everything and make tonight a new start.
I'm only here to see what you have to have to show us, not to make friends.
Ok.
What are we doing here? You dusted the majority of their patrons.
It just might be wise to keep a low profile.
I agree.
That's why I need you.
You ended Amy's life yesterday.
I haven't forgotten.
I know that.
I believe you.
Sometimes remorse isn't enough.
It will need a life for a life, Aidan.
Who's life? I don't understand.
Well, I've been slowly chipping away at this vamp population, but I need to hit this Boston nest where it hurts.
That's their leader.
You're gonna end him.
I know what you're doing.
- I'm just having a conversation! - No, you're holding me up so I'll be here when Nora picks up her stuff.
- Is Nora coming here? Good! - Sally, come on! It gives you a chance to say hi to check-in and maybe let her know that you're gettin' your life back together! That's a great idea! Who wouldn't wanna be with a cheater with anger issues? - Josh - No! - She's moving out, Sally.
- Well, don't let her, Josh! Listen, I would have done anything to make this work.
I'm late.
I gotta go meet up with Andrew and Caroline.
Ok, don't go start a new pack.
Just start fresh with Nora.
Sally, listen, I know you spent years in, like, back to the future, bizarre old version of us, but in this world, right now My wife is terrified of me.
That's my reality.
Well, it was real to me! What was real? If I forget, make me remember.
I think I've loved you for a while now.
Then make me remember.
I have to know.
Sally? What? Uh, nothing.
Um Nothing.
Put some frickin' clothes on! You guys you guys don't do anything halfway, do you? Well, we loved our place in the city, but priorities change.
- Oh, yeah? - It's so quiet.
It sure is.
It kind of drives me bonkers! Me too, but we'll get used to it, right? The most important thing is keeping April safe and sound.
That just wasn't gonna happen in the city.
Hello, hello! Hey! Hey! Josh, you made it! Yeah, yeah.
Bring it in! Do you know how happy I am that you're here? Mm-hmm.
It's so good to see you! So, what's up with the Are you preparing for the apocalypse? The groceries You didn't tell him about the party? We invited the entire pack by for a pre-turn housewarming.
Thought we'd give 'em the lay of the land, then tomorrow night, we run.
It'll be like a long weekend with wolves.
You're all gonna turn here? At the same time? - Yeah.
- That's the plan! Part of keeping April safe is keeping the pack safe, right? It's too dangerous for us to turn at the same place as last time.
There's even news reports of wolf sightings! And with hunting season starting We found this place just in time.
I got enough room, it's just, I'd like it if you were there, gave it your seal of approval.
He doesn't do anything wolf-related without checkin' on you first.
- Amen to that! - Mm-hmm! - I'll try and make it.
- Try? No, no, no, no.
It's not a party without our pack leader.
Why would you want to change with that Mark guy? He punched you in the face! Yeah, but to be fair, I did wolf-mate his wife.
Ok, yep, in that case, then you should change with them instead of Nora! Nora doesn't wanna be near me, ok? Human or wolf.
- Let's just let it go, please! - I can't! I can't let it go, Josh! You're a weird wolf thing because of me, because of my spell.
If I had been there to finish it, maybe none of this would have happened! Yeah, right! And I'd still be a wolf all the time.
Well, why don't you just let me try to fix that? No, absolutely not! No more magic, ok? If you even try another spell, we may never see you again! You know what? What if it works? What if I can get that guy back? - Then, it's worth it to me.
- Well, it's not to me.
Whatever I am now, I can deal with.
Losing you forever No, it's not an option.
I'm sorry.
Well, you're very sweet and I love you, but this wolf is not who you are.
Because that wolf chased Nora away.
Ok, Nora can't accept what I am Understandably so, ok? But Mark and Andrew and Caroline, they don't just accept me, they want to be me.
And it actually feels kind of good.
I mean, it feels good to be, like, the Alpha for once, you know? - What? - You're not the Alpha.
You think you're Alpha? You're not.
You're a Beta.
You are a nice, solid Beta.
And that's ok! Because everyone loves a Beta! - Nora loves her some Beta - Nora, who moved out Who slept with a knife under her bed because she was afraid of me.
Nora Who I might have told to come over later because you'd be here.
See ya! Peace! W-what? I'm sorry.
I can, uh I'll just come back.
It's totally fine.
I'm on my way out.
Um it'll only take me a couple of hours to get the rest of my stuff.
Take your time.
Hey, uh Do you have a Do you have a place to change tonight? Yeah.
You? Mm-hmm, yeah.
Hey, um Just be safe.
You too.
It took 240 years, but the streak is over.
What streak is that? I've finally become the nagging wife.
We had an agreement.
Uh you know, we didn't exactly have an agreement, but what we talked over, I haven't forgotten.
Every day that kid is in charge, people die.
The body count keeps ticking up.
I'm not particularly interested in a suicide mission.
- He's far too well-protected.
- For me, maybe, but not you.
I'm sure if Aidan Waite asks for a meeting, he'll get one.
Maybe you're not all that interested in changing.
Hey! Maybe killing that girl the other night, maybe that's just who you are now.
No, it isn't! But I don't wanna see anyone else die.
That's it.
Then protect them.
What are you doing? Are you kidding me? It's from our church in Corwich.
That's the last place I want a souvenir from! It's not all that bad.
We got married there, baptized Isaac.
After he died, I went in there and I took that.
- I even said a prayer.
- Said a prayer to what? It isn't like there's a heaven waiting for us.
Well, maybe there is for Isaac.
When I made that, killing other vampires was the last thing on my mind.
You were gonna use this on yourself.
It's harder than it seems, isn't it? You thought about it too? Yeah.
Sometimes, I think it's the only decent thing that we can do, but I never could either.
You think I have self-discipline, willpower.
If I did, I would have been dust centuries ago.
Beating yourself up over it isn't gonna help anything either.
It'll help the next Isaac.
You think those new vampires are really that different, that they're so evolved? You should pull your head out of the sand and go see what they're really doing.
- Hey, I'd be happy to check out - And then, put an end to it! Sorry things are still rocky between you and Nora.
Well, that makes 2 of us.
It's like she knew you a certain way, but you're just You're not that guy anymore.
You're this guy.
And this guy is awesome.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, I don't know, I'm, uh I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm, um Almost look forward to this turn.
Because you're with us.
And I mean this when I say this: Everyone here gets you, Josh.
And Nora will too.
She just has to come around and deal with what you are now.
You're right.
It just It's so weird not turning with her.
If it's any consolation, it looks like we're both flying solo.
Wendy's not here? Uh, she, uh Wanted to take a bit of time, you know, away from everything.
I'm should we I'm so sorry, by the way.
- I don't know - I don't want to - Should we talk about it? - No.
About what happened? - No, let's - What's up, Andrew? Look, I had a blowup, but I promise it will never happen again, not after I realized what you are.
What am I? You're this special kind of wolf.
The way you can change whenever you want, do you know how amazing that is? When I saw that, I got it.
I saw what Wendy saw, and it's pheromones, man! You can't fight that! Ok And I realized that the wolf knows things before we do, and I have to trust those instincts.
Deviled-egg dude! Hey, man! - Hey, how are you? - Good.
And you? - How's the arm? - Fully operational.
That's good.
You must be Josh.
Yeah, I am.
It's so great to finally meet you.
He's taller than I thought.
- He is, yeah.
- I'm standing right here.
I heard about how you delivered Caroline's baby.
Oh, I didn't do It was my wife, mostly.
Dude, it was you.
It was me and my Me and my wife.
It was him.
It takes a special person to do that for a stranger.
I do what I can! That's why I trust you.
Anyway, I can't wait to see you later.
Isn't she cute? What the hell is she doing here, man? By the way she spoke to you, I'm guessing whatever you want.
No, I mean, why would they bring her here, now? She's here for the same reason as everyone else is here, - to turn together.
- I can smell her.
She's not a wolf! Not yet.
Hey! - Hey! I recognize that voice! - How are you doing? I'm good.
Did I owe you a phone call? - Mm-mmm.
- Ok, good.
'Cause I've been pretty crazed here.
No kidding! What's going on? It's a lot, I know.
It's weird how quickly we're blowing up.
Indeed, right.
How does this all fit in with your "we're doing things differently" spiel? Oh, we are.
I mean, who knew that vampire re-population was gonna be such a growth industry? Well, anybody who's ever sold anything to an addict.
Well, don't worry.
We've still got the full veggie options at our new blood dens.
Oh, at the blood dens? Really? How many blood dens do you have these days? Just a few.
Not that you asked me my advice, but don't you think you ought to just slow down a little bit? Well, I mean, I'm barely doing anything.
I'm serious! People are actually coming to me, from everywhere: Providence, Baltimore, Buffalo See, they want me to do there what I'm doing here.
Well, you know that you can always say no, right? Well, I mean, it's kind of rude not to hear them out, right? Hmm.
You know what people like about the way I do things? What's that? See, most of the old-timers are grim.
I hope you don't mean me! No offense.
Just listen.
They're all about the "plague this, Bishop that.
" Most of the new ones didn't want to be turned.
Hmm I mean, you know me.
This is all I've ever really cared about.
You gotta be a fan first, right? Don't get me wrong.
I'm not trying to harsh the old regime.
I'm saying there's improvements.
We're a little more open-minded.
We're not locked in the way of thinking that the old guys were.
Well, look, you are sitting where Bishop sat and you are telling me how different you are.
I was there, and I knew all of Bishop's plans.
You're starting to sound like Bishop.
Just blue sky-ing here.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Can you give me one second? Thanks.
Everybody knows what they're doing? If you have questions or concerns, come to me.
- Hey! - Hey! Astrid Um Aidan, you remember Astrid, right? Yeah! - The world's worst baby shower! - Indeed, yeah! I'm sorry my friends trashed your place.
Believe me.
That place has seen worse.
Are you allowed to be here? Yeah.
I mean, I got some glares.
Yeah, but if anybody has a problem, they keep it to themselves.
They've actually been way cooler than my pack has to Kenny.
- Really? - You break one guy's arm They'll get over it! Or I'll stop turning with them.
Ok.
Andrew and Caroline invited us all to their new place for the turn.
Anyways, I should get going.
Well, the turn is tomorrow, though, right? Yeah, they want some pack bonding time.
I just hope they don't make us do trust falls.
Well, I packed you a change bag, and I might have thrown in an extra rump roast.
I saw it, and your note.
You did all right with this one! Ok, look, I know that expansion is a dirty word to you, but if I can go anywhere with Astrid and not get hassled for it, I'm gonna do it! Kenny, you can do whatever you want.
You can compel whoever you want, you can go wherever you want.
So, let me ask you this: Are you doing all of this for her Or is it for you? - No! - What the hell? I'm saving you from yourself! You saved me from aspirin! Oh, sorry, ghost foul.
What did you think I was taking? I don't know! Uppers, downers, reds, blues Whatever gets you through the day.
Sorry.
Ok, I've had my vices, but pills ain't it! Well, maybe not in this life, but when I went back in time, you went hardcore Nurse Jackie.
- I did? - Yeah.
You don't have to be so thrilled about it.
What? It's not like it actually happened.
I really wish that people would stop saying that.
It did actually happen.
It happened to me.
Every second of it actually happened.
And by the way, that's how I know that in either version, you and Josh are better together.
You don't think I wanna believe that too? So, what else happened when you went back in time? Well, um, I left Danny.
I became a werewolf.
Yeah.
And somewhere along the line, I sort of I kind of fell in love with Aidan.
Um, you what? You you fell in love with Aidan? Yes! And it's not the most ridiculous thing you ever heard! No, my God! Not at all! It's just - It's just unexpected! - I know.
And until Ray accidentally murdered me and turned me into a ghost again, it was kind of the greatest thing ever.
Well, does Aidan know? I mean, obviously, that Aidan knew.
- But this Aidan, did you tell him? - No! God no! No! First of all, healthy enough ego on that boy as is.
Also, back then, it was possible.
I was alive! Even when I was a wolf, I was alive.
And now, meh-meh.
But you guys could still be together, mostly.
Yeah, I don't think he thinks of me that way.
And it's ok, 'cause I didn't either until I got to go back and do it over from scratch.
And he never gets to do that, so I just don't I don't I don't see how he could feel like that for me.
Ok, no more cliffsnotes.
- I need to know everything.
- Ok.
Josh, hey, hey, hey, hey! Do you know about this? He's planning on turning all these people into wolves! Yeah, it was our idea.
What? You can't do this! They have no idea what's about to happen to them! You said you'd help us build the pack.
- This is what we need! - No! No! No, I said that I would teach you what I know, all right? I will never, ever pass this on willingly! You were alone when you were attacked.
- It'll be different.
- This is insane.
These people are gonna have us, a support system, a family.
Yeah, a Manson Family! I can't believe I didn't see They'll be killers.
Did you explain that? - Just calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down, Mark.
You met Charlotte.
Does she look like a victim? No! She wants to be here.
Everyone chose to be with us, ok? And you, man, you are the only one Don't touch me! You are the only one who can do this.
You're out of luck then.
We can't scratch them, not safely, not with the full moon.
As werewolves, we'll be too out of control! We'll go too far! We've seen what you can do.
You're the only one who can change at will! We're just gonna scratch the new ones.
That's why you invited me here.
This is it, huh? Well, you either just did a piss-poor job explaining it to those people or you just recruited a bunch of psychopaths.
Either way, I'm out of here! This is - Josh - Get out of my way.
Josh, I'm sorry.
The pack needs you.
I know this sounds weird, but I know exactly how you feel.
Oh yeah? You spend a lot of time naked in a cage? I was just like you, Josh.
Afraid, convinced that being a wolf was a death sentence.
The thought of passing it on to somebody else was terrifying, but then I had April.
She's your ch child, Andrew.
It's completely different.
You're gonna see, Josh.
Making your own wolf, it's not curse at all! Having April was the best thing that I ever did with my life.
If you're so convinced I'm gonna love it, why don't you let me the hell out of the cage, huh? We can't do that, Josh.
See, the cage is gonna keep everyone safe.
They just get a scratch.
And how do you know that I'm not gonna turn on you, huh? When I change? How do you know? Because we are your pack now.
That's right.
And we're gonna fall in line like we always have.
And you, you would never hurt your own pups.
You already have a pack! You already have one! Why do you need more wolves? One day, the truce with those parasites is gonna come to an end.
You have to understand that when that happens, we have to be ready.
The vamps can choose who can join them and when.
Us, it's more random.
You scratch somebody during a full moon, and they're one of us.
But with you leading us, we could finally choose who's part of our family too! And once you made a few of your own, you're gonna realize this is what you were meant to do.
This is crazy.
Just know that what you're asking me to do, I will never do this.
We have seen your true wolf, Josh.
You showed us.
And that is who we need helping us right now.
Come on, Josh! Show him to us again.
Never.
What are you doing? - I'm sorry, Josh.
- No.
No, no, no.
No, stop.
This is for everyone's good.
No! Stop! Do it again! Do it again! Josh ran a pie shop? That actually doesn't sound that bad! No, he was miserable.
Trust.
Am I horrible if that makes me feel just a little bit good? Don't pretend you don't know.
The guy is a wreck without you, past, present, future.
You know it! I know, but if I stay, I'm enabling him, this violent guy that he's ok with.
If I stay in this house, the next time someone gets hurt or worse I know.
I know.
It just breaks my heart to see you go.
Hmm, you look unhappy.
Is that because you kept your word or because you broke it? You're not the only one that I gave my word to.
What? Like you owe those vampires something? Not all of them, no.
But Kenny, yeah, I do.
Suzanna, Kenny is my son.
Oh! Well, that does change the equation, doesn't it? Yes, it does.
He saved me during the plague, and when he needed help, I gave it to him, - and I made him one of us.
- You call that help? You don't understand the circumstances.
He would've died if I hadn't helped him, and I gave him my word to do whatever it takes to protect him.
Now you want me to give him a pass too? He's different! Not He's not Bishop! Why didn't you tell me this when I first saw you? Because, Suzanna, I wanted you to know that I was a different kind of vampire, that I'm a little bit more like you.
And it's a little bit hard to do that when I just turned the next leader of Boston, ok? I understand a weakness for our kids, but I thought after that girl, after you dried up, I thought you were done with all this.
The pain that you felt after killing Isaac.
That never really goes away completely, does it? No.
Well, then why would you wish that on me? Don't ask me to do that to Kenny.
You're asking me to look the other way while people die.
I didn't know what he was up to.
I really didn't.
So just give me a chance to rein him in.
Fine, I'll give you 2 months.
And I'll have to trust that you can raise him up into something decent, like you would've with Isaac.
I will.
I will.
Fine, then I'll back off.
But if you can't get him under control, the next time I see you, you won't see me coming.
So what's next for you? Hmm? Are you gonna stay in Boston? No, I think I'll find someplace new.
I was just hoping that next place might've been with you.
Oh, hey hey! Uh, you got a minute? I just No, 'cause I'm doing Just kind of need some impartial advice from a friend.
Ok.
What am I crazy to let Suzanna leave town? She's the only wife that I ever had.
Suzanna's not right for you.
Ok, but what are the chances, you know, that someone that you love that much is gone, you think for good, then comes back Different, but the connection's still there.
I mean, what do you do? Do you just let them go? - No! - I thought you said Suzanna For the right person, yes, but Suzanna is not that person.
Ok, well, then who are we talking about? Are we talking about, like, Kat, or - Not Celine.
- Oh, also not right for you! Why not? - Ok, should we take Suzanna? - Sure! - She loves you in theory.
- Yes.
As long as you never mess up! She would never put up with you day to day.
No! Not the real you.
No! All right, well, that's true.
You need someone who knows that you slip.
You need someone who knows that you're not perfect, but who loves you anyway, who knows that you'll get there someday.
One day! Yeah, there's only one problem with that.
That woman doesn't exist.
- You've gotta stop them! - Astrid? They've got Josh.
How long has it been? Like 15 minutes? This is ridiculous.
We never should've let her go in there alone.
She'll be back soon.
I saw Josh.
He's in a cage in the basement.
Is he ok? Uh, he's in a cage in the basement! Right! Is there anyone else with him? - No, they just left.
- Where did they go? They're showing the new ones where to turn tomorrow.
It's like a super creepy college tour.
Well, are you gonna show us where Josh is? Ok, yes! Hello? Can we at least pretend we run a fake business? You don't wanna do this.
Oh, I heard that you can compel vampires.
That even gave me a little tingle.
Looks like the juniper's working.
- You want to let me go.
- No, I really don't.
Oh my God! Josh! Hey! You all right, pal? Let's get you out of here.
Come on, come on, come on! Come on! Let's go, man.
Let's go, Josh.
Come on.
We're gonna help you.
Guys.
Guys! Oh, you can leave, but he stays.
He's coming with us.
You already left him once.
You know how it's done.
And you picked the wrong night to cross us.
Let us leave with him.
Sorry, he's meeting his brand new family tomorrow.
Your wife and daughter are alive because of him, and you do this? We didn't kick Josh out for what he is.
You did.
We took him in.
At least, with these new wolves, he'll get the respect you should've given him.
We can take them.
No, Nora, we can't.
I can hear more coming.
Get Josh out of here.
- Go, Sally.
- I'm not leaving without you.
I got this.
Behind you! Behind you! Get out of here, Sally.
You don't wanna see what happens.
I'm not leaving! Ok.
No! Sally, you need to go.
I can't! I'm gonna enjoy this.
Nah! Ha! Hit him, hit him, hit him! Hit me! Get down! Get up! Sally, no more possessing! I'm serious! Hi! You know what? Hey, hey, hey! I can handle one guy! I know you can.
I know.
I just this one's for me.
Come on! You know what it does to you! What are you doing? - I need a body.
- Why? To remind you of this.
Please tell me you remember.
That was, uh - Confusing.
- Amazing! Have we done that before? Now hit me.
Punch me in the face! I can't hit a girl, not after that.
Oh really? You have to.
Ok.
So, um - Yeah, we gotta go.
- Ok.
Hey, uh, we gonna talk about this? Yes.
Yes, let's talk about it.
- Let's talk about it.
- Ok, first question: Was that you or was that the dude? Ok.
Hey! Hey, sweetheart, we gotta get you home.
No, just wait.
Let's talk about it.
No, you're glowing, Sally.
Well, it was a really good kiss! No, I mean that your skin It was a very good kiss.
It was a great kiss.
Um, I What? What is it? I don't know, I don't know! Really? You're reading that right now? It's nothing.
Even with 200 years of experience, you're a bad liar.
Ha ha! Just give me a second.
- Just go.
I'll meet you at home.
- No, I'm just gonna Wow! Just one little text is all that took.
You're much more responsive to this one than to me.
What happened to giving me 2 months to rein him in? That's an oddly specific time-frame, right? I find it helps with lies.
Please, let him go.
I killed our own perfect child.
What makes you think I'm gonna let this live.
Suzanna Don't do this.
I told you that he is my son, because I wanted you to understand I can't let anything happen to him.
What, like I didn't already know that? And you ask me to do that anyway? Because he's not your son! You had a son.
I wanted to be wrong about you.
I wanted to believe that deep in your core, there was some small shred of that good man that I loved.
Suzanna, there is and you know that.
No, there's not.
Not anymore.
Not after everything that you've done.
Everything that I've done? No, uh-uh.
Suzanna, I don't believe you.
You knew all about my reputation before you set foot in Boston.
When I rattled off all of those horrible, awful things that I did to my victims, if you were truly shocked, you would've ended me right there.
But you didn't.
You let me live! Why? To give you a chance to make it right, to kill your boy here.
You don't care about everyone that I've killed.
The thing that you can't get past is the one that you killed.
But that wasn't your fault.
It was Bishop's.
He made you what you are, just like I made Kenny! But this isn't about him, and it isn't about me.
- It is about you.
- No, it's about Isaac, and it has always been about Isaac.
All I did was forgive you.
That's what you hate.
And I do.
Suzanna, I forgive you.
Isaac was our child.
We were his parents! We are supposed to protect him! You did your best to protect him, and I forgive you.
This is your son? This is your son.
I want you to know how this feels.
- It wasn't your fault.
- Stop staying that! - Forgive yourself.
- Don't tell me how to grieve! Forgive yourself.
No! Forgive yourself.
Where did you go? It was a long night.
How are they? Josh is upstairs sleeping.
Sally's Oh no! Oh no, no, no, no! How long has she been like this? Almost since she got back.
I think she was keeping a lid on it, so you wouldn't worry.
Ok, she's gonna bounce back, right? She always bounces back.
Sally, you're gonna be ok.
You gotta be.
What did you want me to remember? You helped me, Sally.
You always help me.
I never should've let her stay.
She wanted to help.
I told her not to possess wolves.
She knows what it does to her, and I told her to leave.
She was never gonna leave you.
Yeah, but why would she do something so stupid? Because she's in love with you, you dummy.
You think Sally's been acting weird around you since she's been back? She has.
Because in that other life, you and Sally were in love.
Well, why wouldn't she tell me? We have to make sure she gets better so she can tell you herself.
I will.
I would do anything for her.
No, let me go! The blood of the child revives us.
No! Josh? Aidan! Nora!
