Original subtitles

- Previously on Being Human.

- I want you to turn me into what you are.

- No, you don't know what you're asking.

- Aaah!

- Sally? - Your brother will be safe.

You will no longer kill the people that you used to know

by having contact with them.

But when you die, your soul is mine.

(Screaming)

- We've been hunting down vampires.

- Aidan is a good man.

- He needs to be stopped.

The wolf bond goes deeper.

That makes you my secret weapon.

- (Erin): He's home early.

- Don't take your eyes off him.

(Coughing)

I'm almost there.

- Oh! It was your blood. You did this.

- Stay back!

(Retching)

Hey! What part of "I'm the one with the pointy stick"

don't you understand?

(Groaning)

- Josh. Dammit.

- Wait. Stop.

- Die, you leech!

Oh!

(Gasping)

- All right, who's ready

for an early-morning sugar coma?

Aidan.

Erin?

Erin.

Oh my God.

Erin, I need you to open your eyes.

Erin?

Erin.

(Groaning)

(EKG monitor beeping)

- (Woman on PA): Mark Stanford to radiology.

Mark Stanford to radiology.

- How is she?

- She's not good.

In and out of consciousness since they admitted her.

Neuro has faith that she'll improve, but until then,

there's no telling what the swelling's gonna do

to her brain functions.

(Sighing)

In the meantime, I'm running interference with the lab...

trying to make sure that her blood comes back human...

and that the doctors think

that she just took an exceptionally bad fall.

So this is the part where you tell me...

what really happened.

I mean, what? Did you feed from her?

What happened? - No!

- Well, then what--

- Not intentionally.

Listen, I came home, I had a couple of vials,

and the next thing I know, I'm laid out

and I hadn't felt that way since...

well, since you.

There was werewolf blood in my supply.

Had to be.

- It had--

It's impossible. How?

- Well, I don't know, Josh.

I mean, currently we're sharing an address

with not one but 2 werewolves.

There's your girlfriend,

but then there's this wild teenage delinquent

who I found out likes to carry around wooden stakes.

- What?

- She came at me, Josh.

- That-- No!

(Stammering)

She has nothing against you.

She likes you more than me!

- I know.

- She likes you enough

to make me irrationally jealous!

- I know, and yet I found myself lying on the floor

with blood pouring out of my eyeballs.

- Where is she?

- She's in 59.

- She's a kid, Aidan! - Whoa!

- Who Josh and I have taken responsibility for!

- I was defending myself--

- You're telling me that

your only recourse against a teenage girl

was slamming her head into a wall?

- Shhh!

- Let him tell his side of the story.

- No. They are excuses, Josh, and he always has them.

The truth is that wherever you go, violence follows.

Well, I know something about violence too.

And if Erin doesn't make it through this,

then you will have to answer to me.

- Nora?

(Telephone ringing)

- Bridge?

I was hoping you still worked here.

It's really me, Bridge.

Just don't freak out. I can explain.

- It worked. - Don't freak out.

- I've made contact with the other side.

How can I help you, spirit?

Let me be your vessel.

- OK, so I don't really know what you're talking about.

OK? But, um, I thought we could get some crab dip

and some Chardonnay or something.

(Man singing on stereo, indistinct)

- Oh!

Oh my God!

- OK. Now that you've confirmed the existence of my face...

- You're not a ghost. - No!

- You're alive?

- And I'm serious about that crab dip.

I am starving all the time.

- (Laughing): Oh my God!

- You're...

(Chuckles)

You're taking this extraordinarily well.

- Oh!

(Car honking)

(EKG monitor beeping)

- (Woman on PA): Joseph DiBartolo, extension 3317.

- Hey.

(Sighing)

- You need to call your sister.

We were supposed to have lunch today.

- Yeah, OK. It's no problem. I'll...

- And maybe go home, get some of her things in case she wakes up,

maybe some pyjamas, her toothbrush.

- Nora.

We're doing exactly what we should be doing right now.

We're just being with her, OK?

This is... It's the best thing we can do.

(Sighing)

- I know that Aidan's our friend.

I do.

And part of me honestly does believe that he wants to be,

I don't know...

a better vampire.

If there is such a thing.

But there's just so much collateral damage.

(Telephone ringing)

- Aidan thinks it was werewolf blood

that caused the reaction.

It was Erin's blood in his supply.

- She's been a werewolf for a minute and a half.

- I know, I know.

- Even if she knew

what effect her blood could have on a vampire

why would she hurt Aidan?

- I don't know.

I mean, the track record's there.

I mean, she has a history of violence.

- Yeah, and so does Aidan.

But his caps out at a little over 200 years.

- You know, when Erin ran away,

Liam was the one who found her.

(Sighing)

He was the one who brought her home.

And he hasn't exactly hidden the fact

that he wants Aidan-- that he wants all vampires dead.

- Why can't you just...

for once admit that he might've done something wrong.

- I get it. I understand what you're saying.

I just don't think that he meant to hurt her.

I really don't.

- I sometimes wonder...

if it really came down to it...

which one of us would you choose, Josh?

- Hey, buddy.

What you got going on?

Excuse me, who are you?

- Aidan, it's fine.

She's OK. It's not a big deal.

- I'm gonna need to see some credentials.

Hey. Did you hear me? Your hospital credentials.

Now.

- Allow me to extend a lunch invitation.

I'm Blake.

Our friend's finally met his maker.

- How did you find him?

- I followed you.

Well, you and any of the others left standing,

but Aidan Waite does have a certain reputation.

And now that Kenneth and I are better acquainted--

- It's Kenny.

- Well, actually,

Kenneth is fine.

- Anyway, I think it's all an act of fate, don't you?

- Uh, come again?

- Vampires taking without consent

is why we find ourselves facing extinction.

Whereas Kenneth wants, needs the gift of eternal life.

And I'm thrilled to give it to him.

- OK, hold on. The gift of eternal-- OK.

Kenny? No.

Absolutely not. This is not happening.

You understand? Hey! Buddy!

- He said the two of you were close.

- We are.

- I thought you'd approve.

It's a fair and civilized arrangement.

- Really?

- He sustains me till he's 18.

- Kenny? - Then I give him his fangs.

- OK, absolutely not.

No, I didn't want this. Not for you.

- I can't live like this anymore.

You know that, because I told you, remember?

We made a deal. It's done.

- Yeah, but she didn't tell you the cost of that de--

- Your Aunt Blake is gonna have to step out, Kenny.

I need to get a culture.

- See you later, Aunt Blake.

- You too, Nurse Waite.

- If you compelled him...

- Why on earth would I need to compel a 17-year-old boy?

I'm the first scrubs-free woman he's seen in years.

You heard him.

He wants this.

- Who made you? What city?

(Sighs)

- You're asking about my pedigree?

- What are you, like, 5?

- Eleven.

- Uh-huh, young enough

to think that this condition, it's special

and that you're saving people

and that this is some form of evolution.

- And you're old enough to be this jaded?

Why, when you come from greatness?

You're Bishop's son,

a legend of war with a seat at Mother's side.

- Yes, and a small island nation considers me to be their god.

Do you people hear yourselves?

- And you're a purebred-wolf killer.

Look, I understand we don't share the same worldview,

but I've always heard you were a forward thinker.

The deal with Kenneth is give and take.

It's a benefit to both species.

Can't you see that is evolution?

* I don't know

- Thank you!

* If we will meet again... *

- So now you're like some sort of zombie or...

- Why does that word have to be so damn trendy?

No, zombies can only, like, stalk and moan,

whereas I can accessorize.

Bridge, OK.

Now that I can see people again, like, face to face,

- Mm-hmm.

- I had to find you,

because when I was a ghost,

you and I, we had some kind of connection, right?

- I'll never forgive myself

for not listening to you about Danny.

It's just my mind wasn't open enough.

- That's not true. You heard me.

You heard me when no other human could.

- No, I failed you.

- No! Bridge.

- But what I'm trying to say is that, that experience,

that connection to the other side...

I've joined a Wicca group.

- You're serious?

Huh! So that's why the hair and the...

I mean, no, it's--it's just, like, it's a lot of look.

- You are doubting the existence of an afterlife for the soul,

a person who actually had an afterlife?

- No, but, um, I just know people

who can communicate with the dead,

and it just doesn't really work like that.

- Every Wiccan must arrive at the practice

that suits her individually.

- Hmm! - When I'm in the circle,

calmness comes over me and my mind empties.

- Yeah.

- What I really wanted was to find you, Sally.

But who knows how many other spirits might need my help?

Oh! Come with me!

- Mmm... Ooh! Uh, no, 'cause I just--

Actually, I'm just getting over a lot of, like,

heavy, post-traumatic witch stuff.

And I can't really deal with people asking about who I am,

so I'd rather just...

- Please!

- No. I--

- I just got you back.

- No.

- I want us to be part of each other's lives again.

- Yeah, that's the only reason I came.

But like... - Sally.

- Nah!

- This group is my new life.

(Muttering)

All right.

(Laughing)

(Knocking)

(Sighing)

(Siren in distance)

(Birds chirping)

- Is Nora here?

She's not answering her phone.

- Uh, hello, Kat.

- Sorry.

Hello again, Aidan,

Nora's roommate who is emphatically not a junkie.

Do you know where she is?

- Um, not here. No.

Her and Josh are at the hospital. A friend got hurt.

- Meaning I'm the jerk who just left her 13 voicemails

ranting about the shoddy plumbing in her apartment

while she's standing vigil by someone's bed.

I better go.

- Oh, hold on, plumbing?

- Uh, yeah, the pipe burst under the sink. I can fix it.

I just don't know where the water main is

or the super's contact info,

so I should probably stop

wasting valuable time complaining to you and get back

because the water line is creeping up

around everything I own.

It's awesome!

- Well, Kat, wait, wait.

Um...

Maybe I can help you out.

- Really?

- Sure. Yeah, I know plumbing.

- Cool!

(Sighing)

- How is she?

- Well, she's--she's stable,

but it's very serious head injury.

Nora's with her.

- Well, I'm grateful you thought to call me.

Please, lead the way.

- You know, you never actually

told us how you managed

to get Erin back to our house with you.

I mean, not that you're alarmingly gallant,

but you're also a complete stranger.

And she's not super into trusting other people.

(Siren wailing)

- I supposed though the shock of the turn was considerable,

she still thought it was best to be with her own kind.

Hmm? To be with Nora.

- I thought you and I understood each other.

- Hmm?

- That you knew that I stand with Aidan.

- I won't pretend to approve

of your less-than-discerning taste in friends,

but let's just say I've learned to make my peace with it.

- I'll never be able to prove it,

but I know that you had something to do

with Erin trying to hurt Aidan.

You told me to protect my family.

The only way I know how to do that

is to keep them the hell away from you.

Stay away from us.

(Sighing)

- Sis, I'm really sorry

that we just completely forgot you guys had plans today.

This--this has just been all-consuming and crazy.

- I totally understand.

I'm not sure that Nora and I have worked our way up

to one-on-one status anyway.

- Why did you agree to lunch then?

- Because I know how important it is to you.

- Nora's great. I mean, you think she's great, right?

- I absolutely think that she is great, yes.

- Because, Em, honestly, it's--it's--

It's gotten really serious.

I love her and--and, uh,

and I know how close you were with Julia.

And I just want you to have that same bond with Nora before I--

- Before you ask her to marry you.

Right? Right?

Right.

(Giggling)

- How do you do that?

(Car honking)

- Ah! It's fixed! - Yes!

- As long as we define "fixed"

as the absence of a geyser

and not an actual licensed plumber state of affairs.

- Oh, I'm sure that whatever you did is gonna hold.

- The upshot might be a leak in the neighbour's unit...

(Chuckling)

...but thanks for your help.

- I really didn't do anything.

You have a toolbox the size of a compact car.

- Yeah, I take pride in knowing things about things.

- I used to be better at...

But who can keep up with technology, right?

- It's aluminum.

But you did, um, turn off the water.

- That I did!

- And I don't even know how you got into the basement.

That door would not budge for me.

- Well, something to be said for brute strength.

- All right, well, I, uh,

you know, I should probably get changed, so...

(Chuckles)

- Oh! Oh, I am so sorry.

Absolutely. Uh, thank-- You're welcome.

Oh, hey.

Never would've pegged Nora for a de Tocqueville fan.

- She very well might be, but those are mine.

- Seriously? What are you, a history buff?

- I'm an adjunct at Boston College.

PhD candidate. Early American.

- What's your thesis?

- The plot for New England secession

at the Hartford Convention.

- That's so weird.

- Thanks. - That's not what I mean.

No one writes about the unrest in the militia

when Madison took the troops from the border

and put them in Albany.

- Only because succession was never

an imminent reality.

- Well, yeah, but I mean, if the convention had gone another way,

the government couldn't have stopped New England

from splintering off the military force.

Half the men were on the other side of the issue.

- You know things about things.

- Yeah, I just knew some of-- knew of--

know of some of the players involved.

- Hmm!

(Sighing)

I suddenly feel very not dry.

Hmm?

- Uh, thanks for the brute strength.

- Yep!

(Door closes)

(Scoffing)

- Hey, it's a statistically proven fact

that modern American society has stripped its men

of the benchmarks of maturity,

whereas women continue to evolve and thrive.

- Right, so your Women's Studies textbook told you

that I was wanting to get engaged, right?

(Chuckling)

- Yeah.

- Just saying.

- You weren't exactly subtle

about wanting me to bond with Nora.

That's why...

I brought you this.

- It's Grandma's engagement ring.

How--

- Julia gave it to me

when she realized you were never coming back.

She just couldn't face Mom and Dad.

(Bird chirping)

- It's bad luck, isn't it?

- Do we really believe in that stuff?

- I think it's a little dense to enter into a marriage

without fearing divorce.

- Hmm.

(Sighing)

- And I know I wasn't there

when Mom and Dad got separated

and I know it got ugly.

(Bird chirping)

But that's not enough

to make me wanna give up on a lifetime with Nora.

- Julia would like her, you know?

If things were different.

- Yeah, I think so too.

- They, um, wanted me to take sides

went it all fell apart.

(Car honking)

Mom and Dad.

I went rogue.

I chose yours.

Because you're my person,

until I find my person.

And I'm really glad you found yours.

(Sighing)

- Hey, champ, you awake?

- Blake just left.

Leave me alone.

(Groaning)

- Hey! I just came from Kenny's room.

How many vials of blood did you take from him today?

(Sighing)

How many vials did you take?

- I've been starving! We all have.

You know that.

- I have tolerated you because that's what Kenny wants.

I actually give a damn about him.

But if you don't...

(Sighing)

...pace yourself...

OK, look.

I haven't traditionally had a lot patience

with vampires in my hospital.

I know you're young.

But you can't continue to be stupid, especially not now.

- Then help me.

There are so few of us left.

I've had no one to turn to,

no one to help me believe in some kind of a future

where I won't be scrounging, where I won't be scared.

This virus can't run rampant forever.

If we're smart, we can outlast it.

You and I are survivors, Aidan.

When this is over, we could rebuild the race

and do it better this time.

We could run Boston, maybe even more than Boston.

(Chuckles nervously)

- I've already run Boston.

It wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Kat?

- Stalk much?

- I'm s-- Come again? Oh! This-- No.

I get it. I'm actually here to see Erin.

It's Josh and Nora's friend.

Also I work here. I'm a nurse.

- You're not a nurse.

A male nurse?

A male nurse with a detailed knowledge

of early American war history.

(Both sighing)

How many heads do you have in your freezer?

- It's just I'm interested in people,

um, helping people, so...

- Well, my mom taught me that the only way to help

when a loved one is in the hospital is with casserole.

Well, casserole and cookies.

- Wow, that is very thoughtful and very helpful.

Let me help you with that.

- Thank you. Yeah.

I mean, Nora's such a good friend.

She would do the same for me.

- Kat?

Hey! - Hi!

- What are you doing here?

- Uh, sustenance.

- Oh, thank you! That's so nice of you.

- Oh, I made that too.

- Oh no, you didn't. Give me a break! Wow!

- That's right. The two of you have met.

- Oh, yeah. He saved my life earlier over at the apartment.

- I figured you didn't need to deal

with faulty plumbing on top of everything else.

- (Kat): And it is fixed.

- Entirely.

- Like Aidan said, don't give it another thought.

- Great.

- I hope your friend pulls through.

- Thank you. - Eat that.

(Chuckling)

And, um, thank you.

- You know that Kat is one of my closest friends.

- He just fixed a pipe. There's nothing going on.

- Nothing going on. Even if there was, I can control myself.

- Just stay away from her, Aidan.

I mean it.

And stay away from Erin too.

- Nora.

(Sirens wailing in distance)

- How you feeling?

Kenny, I need to know that you're OK.

(Grunts)

- I thought we were friends.

- We are.

Just because you made a deal with Blake doesn't mean...

that I wouldn't protect you.

- She scares me.

- She should scare you.

- Excuse me, Blake!

Nurse Waite suggested we confirm your visitation rights

with Kenny's father.

It turns out you're not authorized to see this patient.

- Surely there's been some mistake.

My brother and I don't always agree.

- Can you come with us, please?

- Just because you've read everything about vampires

that you can get your hands on

does not mean that you understand our nature.

A vampire's a killer.

(Whispering): I am a killer

at my core.

That's what I am.

And I have to fight against that every day.

- You wouldn't hurt me.

- OK, listen up.

I don't know if Blake is planning

to keep her end of the bargain,

but even if she does,

the relationship between a vampire and his maker,

it's complex.

You are bound together,

and Blake is not the kind of person

I want to see you bound to for eternity.

- I have to get out of this hospital.

She's my only choice.

- (Barb): Don't worry and please don't be discouraged.

Oh!

- Hi!

- Hi! Our Bridget did say

that she was going to

have a very special lady friend

in tow tonight.

- Here I am.

- Merry meet, Sally.

- OK.

- I am the high priestess of this circle,

but you can just go ahead and call me Barb

if we bump into each other at the market, OK?

- OK.

- We are so blessed that the Goddess chose us

to receive your energy.

- Wow! Um...

- Aren't we, sisters?

(Chuckling nervously)

- God.

- All right?

- (Barb): Let's begin, shall we?

- You can sit right there.

- She's got a knife, Bridge. Why does Barb need a knife?

- It's an athame.

It casts the magic circle.

- OK.

- In the name of the Goddess, I establish this circle.

Guardian at the threshold, unlock the door.

Obey these words as I light the spirit candle.

Tonight we call Joey Smits,

who wanders the otherworld

in search of our own sister in light.

Joey, your wife, Beth, is waiting is waiting for you.

Walk through the door.

(Whooshing)

- Oh. Go, Barb.

- Is Joey with us?

(Blowing)

Sisters, Joey has chosen us.

(Whooshing)

- You Joey?

- Hell no, man. Roger.

Thought I'd check out the show. You?

- I like the rack on that one.

Follow her most places. My name's Franklin.

- How are ya?

- Joey, reveal yourself to Beth.

- What's with this one?

- Husband died.

- The Goddess keeps you safe in this place between the 2 worlds.

- Tell me you haven't given this woman

any of your money.

- A spirit has joined the circle.

It's the most fragile part of the invocation.

- (Barb): Joey, faithful husband of Beth...

- Oh, this one's real open.

- (Franklin): Possessed her last week.

Wasted me, but she's worth it.

- Bridge. - I bet it was.

She's a pretty, little thing.

- We need to go now.

- Sally, please!

- I'm serious, we have to leave.

- Hey! Hey! - Oh!

(Sighing)

- Give me a go, will ya?

- Nah, think I'll stay the night,

maybe take her home, get her alone.

- No, you won't! Hey, I'm talking to you, Roger!

- You can see us.

- Stay the hell out of her!

- Excuse me, but our sister, Beth, here

was about to connect with her late husband!

- I'm so sorry, High Priestess.

- Bridge, Joey isn't even here.

- Oh, you can see us.

- Why don't you keep your hands to yourself for once?

- Look, I know it's rough.

I used to be one of you.

- You used to be...

- (Men): ...one of us? - Uh-oh.

- Did you get your door? - Let us in!

- What's happening?

- Who are you? - Did you take your door?

- Get away! Please, stop!

Sorry, this body's taken.

Anyone else?

(Panting)

(Crickets chirping)

- Hold on there, Aunt Blake.

- Out of the way. I'm starving!

- I am very impressed with how quickly you've managed

to compel your way past security,

but you're still too late.

(Whispering): I've agreed to turn Kenny.

- I won't forget this.

When this is over,

the survivors should know you're choosing humans

over your own kind,

even in the face of extinction.

I thought you weren't interested in fathering anymore sons.

- I'm not.

But I'm willing to do it to protect him from you.

(Car honking)

(Sighing)

(Alarm system beeping)

- Go out with me.

- I'm kind of in for the night.

- Oh, no, no. That's not what I mean. Not now.

I just decided that I wanted to ask you

and I needed to do it right away for some reason.

Hey, I promise I don't have any heads in my freezer.

- I'm free Thursday night.

- Great. Dinner?

- I enjoy dinner.

- OK, good. Carleton House.

You are gonna love this place.

- Oh, I make it a rule to boycott restaurants

that serve foie gras.

- Someplace else.

- Someplace else.

(Car honking)

You'll figure it out.

(Man and woman singing lyrics indistinct)

* ...across your skin

* If you want me

* I couldn't hear the words... *

(Man and woman singing, lyrics indistinct)

* Come sit with me...

- Hey.

- Hey.

* And I'll take what you are... *

- Come here.

(Sighing)

- Do you want any of this?

- No.

* Bring your branches down... *

- Can I tell you something?

You are my person.

You're everything to me, everything.

And even if Aidan is like a brother to me...

I will always choose you.

Always.

* Bring your branches down

OK?

(Sighs)

- OK.

* It's your kindling now *

(EKG monitor beeping)

- Hey.

I need you to know

none of this will be in vain.

You are fulfilling your destiny.

You have served the will of the pack.

(Grunting)

(Grunting stops)

(Continuous beep)

(Crickets chirping)

- The ghosts, what did they want?

What did you want

when you were one of them?

- We all want something different.

We all have regrets and things to say.

And after a while, it just...

starts to consume you.

Bridge, um...

the reason you feel your mind empty

during the Wicca circle...

is because the ghosts that show up...

they're possessing you.

So, it's not really a good, meditative kind of mind-emptying

so much as a ghost taking up

valuable real estate in your body

and slowly driving you insane.

Trust me, I've seen it.

I've done it.

- But if, uh, if I could help them,

if they could move on because of me...

- No.

No.

I did this to you.

I'm the reason you got dragged into this whole world.

Bridge...

In order to move on,

you need to forget about spirits and ghosts.

And I think you need to forget about me too.

I have my body back,

but I'm never gonna have my old life back.

Too much has happened.

But you can have yours.

I want you to have this.

Wear it every day.

Every day.

It'll keep us connected.

Consider it me watching over you.

* So didn't you find love

And Bridge...

You didn't fail me.

* Or salvation in what they do *

You saved me.

* A heart is built of gold

* The fairies they are too

* It's in the hands you hold

(EKG monitor beeping rapidly)

(Continuous beep)

* Ooh

* Ooh

* And I don't feel like I'm falling *

* I'm up against the sky

* I said I'm taking it all in

* To make the good life

* And I don't feel like I'm falling *

* I'm up against the sky

(Sobbing)

* Let's grab the heart of the world *

* And turn into the light *

(Choking)

- How?

- Purity of lineage has its advantages.

- Purebred.

Well, there aren't many of my kind left in Boston,

but one of them is a purebred killer.

He lives right around here.

in a dark alley.

(Crickets chirping)

* We're gonna be fine

* It's gonna be fine

* It's gonna be fine

* It's gonna be fine

* Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

(Gasps)

(Gasps)

- (Screaming): Josh!

* It's gonna be fine It's gonna be fine *

* It's gonna be fine

* It's gonna be fine

* We're gonna say it is

* Oh yeah

* We're gonna say it is *
