Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on "Being Human."

I got my residency at SCH.

The hospital? The one that I work at?

What I really wanted was to see you.

Hear from you why you left.

The night Stu died,

when I was mauled, the attack changed me.

[groaning]

Reaper...

You could take my job.

Be a reaper. [screaming]

You'll reap your first soul tomorrow.

Maybe I can do this.

Suren knows about me? That I'm back?

- You really want him at your side? - Yes.

If you wanna buy your way back into this court,

Mother's going to want her pound of flesh.

Of course, a vampire wouldn't die from this.

Your skin will grow back.

Henry is my blood,

and he had better be alive when I come back for him.

**

[doorbell buzzing]

Who is it?

I don't know.

You didn't check? You always check.

Old Sally checked.

[doorbell continues buzzing]

I need you to invite us in.

You mean, you need me to invite him in.

I thought we didn't do that.

This is different, this is Henry. Uh...

It was a long time ago, but...

[whispering] I made him, Josh.

He's... my son.

Did you make him without skin?!

I need a place where I know he'll be safe.

That's here. Please.

[Josh narrating] The bonds you form with some people

will make you look past anything,

ignore what they've become.

Fine.

Please, little bit more, huh?

Enter. I invite thee.

- Mi casa, su casa. - That'll do.

[Josh narrating] You'll hang onto the version you wanna remember,

not the one in front of you now.

I can't deal with this. I'm late for work.

[door closes]

Me, too.

**

[children playing, laughing]

I don't wanna sound like an infomercial,

but attitude is everything.

To do this right, you need to lose the ambivalence.

Y-Y-You act like it's easy to kill your own kind.

To stand there and watch while you shred isn't easy.

I never said it was easy. I said it was necessary.

Either way,

a ghost is gone.

Somebody just like me.

This has to be done, but it doesn't have to be cruel.

After all, we're reapers, not monsters.

S-Somebody kills a body,

and their soul is still left.

But, when you do what we do...

He needs to go.

I know.

[ominous music plays *]

Walter.

Walter.

Go find your own kid.

He's mine.

Hey!

What the...?

You said you were done possessing.

So? I slipped once.

I'm sorry, Walter.

Reapers don't apologize. Come on, Sally!

Think how that reflects on me.

What are you talking about?

Walter, it's time for you to go.

Ooh, a catchphrase! I like it.

Get out of my face. I-I can control it.

Not today, you didn't. Not yesterday, with that waitress.

Or last week, with the bus driver.

- You're never gonna stop. - [Reaper] Do it.

- [groaning] Sally, stop! - [Reaper] That's it.

Shred him! Oh, come on.

What did I teach you?

Strike. - [Walter] No, please!

[grunting]

[Sally panting]

[sighs] Not my best work, but...

You get the point.

[Josh narrating] Friends, parents, mentors.

We hold on to that idealized image of them,

even if it's an illusion.

Because if we can't believe in them,

what does that say about us?

**

[faint chatter]

Excuse me.

Hey, what's this, what's this all about?

- Sexual harassment seminar's today. - It's mandatory.

Shoot me in the face.

Hey.

Hey. [clears throat]

Uh, that coffee's toxic.

- Thanks for the heads up. - Yeah.

Josh, wait.

[chuckles]

We can't be these people.

Which people?

The coworker exes who talk about cafeteria food

and give "What up?" nods in the hall.

- Yeah, those people suck. - Yeah.

So, I've been thinking,

you were a lousy fiancé, but

you were a pretty decent friend.

Thank you?

- Josh, we were friends a lot longer than we were engaged. - Yeah, I know, yeah.

Friends we can do.

Oh, and, uh, all that rage you say you got,

I don't see it.

Your bark was always worse than your bite.

[Josh narrating] Remembering that best version of our friends

reminds us that we were that promising once.

That strong, that alive.

[suspenseful music plays *]

Stu?

Hey, Levs... [weakly chuckles]

Stu...

I can't believe you're here!

How've you been since...

Since you convinced me to go camping with you that night?

[overlapping chatter]

I've been dead, Josh.

How 'bout you?

**

Man, you have no idea

how many times

I wish I had you around to talk to.

Yeah?

You could've tried to find me.

Um... To be honest,

once I found out that ghosts are real, I...

didn't really wanna see you.

You really know how to make a guy feel missed.

No, that's not what I'm-I'm...

I just meant that...

I... hoped that you'd gotten your door

and moved on to something

better than... - Josh...

[scoffs] My dad never said, "I love you," and

my mother basically cut my food for me

until I went off to college, so,

I am the king of unresolved issues, life

and afterlife.

No door for me.

So, what did you do?

I stayed pissed at you

for far too long for, uh,

surviving, leaving.

I don't know how you got over it, but I'm...

glad you did.

[sentimental music plays *]

Grab was flawless.

Kid barely knew he'd been possessed.

You've gotta make sure the shred is just as clean.

You make it sound so clinical.

It should be.

If you linger, they start in with the whining and the lying.

It gets awkward for everyone.

You're still not sold.

It's just...

When Walter said that it was a one time thing,

or when Stevie told me that he didn't kill Boner and his friends.

How do we know who's telling the truth?

They all lie.

Wouldn't you, to save yourself?

Maybe.

What if we make a mistake?

There are no mistakes.

Once you take over, that'll become clear.

- How? - Commit,

and the worries will go away.

Will that be a problem?

No.

Good.

'Cause the next reap is all yours.

How did you even find me here?

Uh, remember DUI Dave,

always riding a stool down Durgen's?

Yes! Took out 40 feet of guardrail

when he drove into the gorge.

- Yeah. - I remember that guy.

Yeah, that's the one. Well, homeboy's like a

clearing house for the supernatural now.

So, I heard through the ghost-vine that you're a

werewolf?

You're kind of a big deal back home.

Great. I'm huge in Ithaca.

- Right? - Yeah.

You know, sometimes I-I wish I hadn't left so fast,

but the whole wolf thing kinda spun me out a little bit.

Yeah, that-that night messed up a lot of us.

- Your parents got even weirder. - Tell me about it.

Julia...

Yeah, but she's doing better.

I mean, sh-she even wants to be my friend.

Yeah, I-I

would pass on that.

Why?

Well...

You guys are both "all in" kind of people. - I was.

I was. I am not anymore.

[chuckling] Yeah.

No, for real, I'm-I'm...

I went all in with my last girlfriend, Nora,

and, and now... She's gone.

She's gone away or

she's gone, dead?

No, she's alive.

And she's a wolf.

[inhaling]

Yeah.

She wants nothing to do with me.

So, I guess Julia actually got off easy?

Yes, she did.

And don't worry, nothing is gonna change that.

Julia and I are officially ancient history.

**

[groaning in pain]

I know you have one around here.

One? One what?

A stake.

No, no. You're gonna...

get better. You're strong.

No, I'm not.

- I never was. - Hey...

you made it 80 years in the wilderness.

- You can make it through this. - Why?

So I can screw up again?

Make your life worse like I always have?

Not always.

[overlapping shouting, gunfire]

What do we got here?

Cleared a whole trench by himself.

I've never seen so much blood.

How many entry wounds are there?

Lost count at a dozen.

You deal with him.

I'm afraid you're stuck with me.

Let's see what we have here.

[gasp] Dear Lord...

They'll be gone west by morning.

Don't go wasting good morphine on a dead man.

[grunting]

Take them out.

What?

The bullets. You heard him.

I'm dead anyway. Get them out!

[labored breathing]

[groaning]

Wait here.

Uh-uh, I'm not babysitting the meatsicle.

It's not like he's gonna throw a rager.

He's not getting any better, and he needs food.

Oh, are we talking takeout that comes in a bag,

or the kind with a pulse?

You know what? Never mind.

Bring him a whole herd of cattle. What do I care?

[door slams]

Hey, Sally.

- Boner? - You seen Stevie?

[Sally] We know about Boner.

- Boner, he's still here! - Where, where is he?

But Stevie shredded you.

That's news to me. Who told you that?

[Reaper] He shredded them, Sally.

Dylan, Boner.

Stevie lied to you.

Someone who should know better.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

'Cause you don't look okay.

No, I'm fine, um...

So-So, the other guys at Jasper's...

Stevie didn't shred any of them?

The only one Stevie shredded was Dylan,

and that was to protect you.

Who told you that stuff about Stevie?

A ghost reaper. That's who told me.

You never saw him at Jasper's?

No.

Is he after Stevie?

**

Not anymore.

Good.

If you see Stevie, tell him to come hang out with us again.

Nobody's seen him lately.

[panting]

Offensive conduct doesn't even have to be sexual.

Language,

singling out somebody based on gender.

Even staring,

if it's combined with threatening behavior.

N-Now, that all being said,

we know that coworkers are gonna have sexual relations.

I'm sure that some of you already have.

But, most harassment cases happen

when there's an unequal power dynamic.

Like between, say, a doctor and an orderly.

...to make sure that it's put to a stop

before things get out of control.

Man speaks the truth.

I get it.

[whispering] Everyone is looking at you.

It's the story of my life.

Try getting left at the altar.

[speaker] I have a little rule when it comes to sexual harassment,

especially if you've been warned.

And that is, when in doubt, cut it out.

[light laughter]

If you have any questions,

you can always come to me, to my office for a private one-on-one.

- That's not at all creepy. - [laughing]

I guess we'll just, uh, wait 'til our coworkers are finished.

- [clearing throat] - Oh, good, they've finished.

[chuckles] Now, what exactly

is harassment?

**

[overlapping chatter, giggling]

...And that's, that's not what I'm saying.

What you were thinking about what I'm saying... - [laughing]

The dog could not be, uh,

persuaded to go.

[dog barking]

This is it?

I thought you said there was a party.

Well, yeah, there is now that you're here, come on.

Okay, you're cute, but not that cute.

- Oh... - Yeah, I'm saving threesomes for marriage.

Sorry! - That's not what I mean. No, no, actually...

you're coming inside

because you can't wait to give my friend, Henry,

whatever he needs.

Why are we wasting time out here?

- [laughing] - Yeah!

- Henry needs us! - Let's go.

Before you meet Henry,

there's one little thing I forgot to tell you.

Why is there always a catch?

No, this is very, very good.

Henry is the most handsome man that you've ever seen.

"And everyday, I, a curious boy, never too close,

never disturbing them,

Cautiously peering, absorbing, translating."

Do you have any Zane Grey?

You don't like Walt Whitman?

Hm...

No, I liked him just fine.

[gunfire in distance]

Your wounds are healing on their own.

- I've got to show a doctor! - No.

Mm-mm.

But it's a miracle.

How did you survive out there?

- I killed them before they killed me. - [scoffs]

You joke about it,

but I could never do what you did.

I wish I had a tenth of what you have.

What does it feel like

to take a life?

You seem a good man, Henry.

Be thankful that you don't know.

How many have you killed?

I lost count

a long time ago.

Private, I hear you speak frog.

Come make yourself useful.

Yes, sir.

[faint chatter]

I don't think one of them's gonna make it.

Can't stop all this blood.

Let's open up his shirt.

**

[sucking noises]

**

[gasps]

Oh, my God!

Why'd you bring them?

He's so beautiful.

**

Sorry, Sally. Now's not the best time.

Three sets of twins in one night!

It's like serial mayhem in here!

Can we just please focus on the Reaper right now?

Nick.

Look, okay, if he, if he was lying about Stevie,

then he could be lying about other things, right?

I wish I was more help.

I've spent my whole life with ghosts, but this Reaper stuff is new to me.

Babe?

Yeah, babe?

Uh...

What about your ghost group?

Worth a shot. It is disturbing how much they know.

You know what? You should go there tonight and ask.

Okay, yes. Great, great.

Are you not gonna be there?

Uh... No, I don't need it anymore.

I'll be home as soon as group's over.

But no watching "Real Housewives" without me.

Okay, you both need to stop!

[babies crying]

[car honking]

[laughing]

You're more persuasive than I remember.

Eat.

Absolutely.

**

[man speaking French]

He's been at this all night. Can you make any sense of it?

[speaking French]

What's got him so riled up?

He's talking gibberish. Must be shell shock.

**

[moaning, giggling]

Oh, I don't know.

I love ortho.

I just don't wanna have to deal with all the fratty ortho guys.

Maybe I'll just chuck it all and go podiatry.

[Julia groaning]

What?

I feel like an ass.

Why? Because you scratched and lost?

No.

Because I'm talking about med school in front of you.

I love hearing about it.

Exactly.

You closed the science library down every night.

And you killed the MCATs.

I mean, there is no world in which you should not be a doctor.

Well, other things... Thank you.

Other things became more important.

Like, uh, winning Orderly of the Year?

[chuckles] I like my job.

No, you don't,

or you wouldn't be doing the tap thing.

I don't do a tap thing.

Yes. Yes, you surely do.

Whenever you got stuck talking boating with my dad

or modern dance with my roommate,

you'd be polite and tap your glass

and hate every second of it. - Yup!

I reapplied... even got in.

Josh, why aren't you going?

I ju... I couldn't, I couldn't go through with it.

There was this...

thing with Nora, and now, there isn't, and...

You realize you just

cried on the shoulder of the woman you dumped

about the woman who dumped you?

Whoa! Somebody just stepped in it.

I'd like to retract,

uh, erase or demolish the last 30 seconds, if I may.

No.

It's actually kinda nice.

I like it.

I-I don't like it, but...

I like hearing my weird, old friend, Josh,

who hasn't changed nearly as much as he thinks he has,

and who I wish I got to see more of.

Whoa! Stay strong, Levs.

Keep it together. Avoid direct eye contact.

This is the time when I should...

probably leave. - Oh...

- Yeah, yeah, I should... I should definitely... - Didn't see that coming,

but I guess I should be used to this. - No... no...

I just meant, we're good, right?

Friends, check.

Talked about my ex... [claps] check.

It's nice having you not hate me. - [chuckles]

* Ooh, ooh, ooh

* The fire is burning

* No chance of returning

* How does such keep me lacking? *

I'll see you.

- Yeah. - [chuckling]

Good, good, but I think we might wanna reassess.

Uh...

[footsteps running]

You know what?

[heavy breathing]

You are so beautiful.

[moaning]

- Wait a second. - What?

- Wait. - What?

Is this... Is this the worst idea ever?

Oh, no, no, no. No, this is the best,

the b-best idea ever. - Okay.

[moaning]

[whooshing noise]

I've...I've never wanted anything so much in my life.

So, yeah.

[blues music playing *]

Oh, crap, crap, crap.

[chuckles] Just being honest,

not my proudest moment.

[whispering] What did you do?

[chuckles]

You, me, out.

- What, now? - Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, okay, yeah. - Yeah.

Oh, my God!

At what point did you decide that using my body to have sex

with my ex is something that just had to happen, Stu?

Uh, probably somewhere during the goodbyes.

I'm sorry! I just couldn't stop myself.

Really? Because you stopped me all day long.

[dog barking]

And, of all the women, Stu!

All the women that you could've done this to...

I love her, Josh.

There it is. - What?

I-I-I have

ever since senior year.

We-We were all friends, yes,

but I...

I loved her first.

But you never even asked her out.

That's because I over-think things and then

don't act upon them. It's kind of my move, and

plus, I thought she'd say no.

But you were the one who told me to ask her out.

Yeah, but in all fairness,

I thought she'd say no to you, too.

No offense.

And she didn't.

And then all of a sudden,

you're, "Hey, Josh and Julia!"

And then, you're engaged,

and I'm stuck in...

a plaid dress shirt for eternity.

You didn't come to the hospital to see me.

You were following Julia.

When you left Ithaca, it was the first time

that I had her to myself.

So, what? This is, like, your thing, then?

You just go around possessing guys so you can have sex with her?

- No, man! - No? No?

No, it's so much lamer. I-I-I...

I wanted her to look at me the way she used to look at you.

Okay?

So would I.

Those days are gone.

That's what I thought, too, until last night.

Josh, listen to me. I have watched her for so long,

and when I saw the way that she looked at you,

I knew this could be my last chance,

and you, you were just gonna let it go.

- Because you were hounding me! - Hey, we're...

Because you were right.

You have no idea what I could do to her.

If I'm not careful... No...

You-You say you have a curse

because once a month you lose it.

But, you're still alive.

And if you wanted, if you wanted,

you could have Julia look at you like that

for the rest of your life.

I would trade my curse

for yours any day. - No.

You say you love her, but look what you did.

Now, I...

I either bring her in closer,

or I break her heart.

Either way, I destroy her.

**

[cars honking in distance]

[laughing]

[moaning]

[squishing]

Now, which one

goes first?

Ah! Mm-mm, no.

Why do you think I brought two of them?

Each one gives a little, everyone goes home happy.

Okay? - Why are you still talking?

- Shh! - You're right.

[giggling]

Let's just stick to the good stuff.

[moaning]

Oh, Holly...

Um, you're bleeding.

No, I'm not.

Okay, um, we have to go.

- Hey, hey... - No!

Everything's fine. You're having the time of your life.

[whimpering] There's so much blood.

Please, let us go. We're not gonna say anything.

Help! [overlapping shouting]

Somebody help me!

[bones cracking]

[slurping, dripping]

Five second rule.

[gunfire in distance]

[muttering in French]

[groaning]

[vehicle driving by]

Please, don't let me die.

[slurping]

[speaking French]

You don't wanna die?

Well, you never will.

[screaming]

[speaking French]

[man] Get the MPs!

**

[overlapping shouting] [growling]

Hello?

Zoe?

Zoe! - Had to start without you.

What are you doing here?

Where's the group?

How did you find out about this place?

You still think you can keep things from me,

especially something this good? - What happened?

Where is everyone?

Gone, like they should be.

Oh, right. Not everyone.

Sally. Why?

You killed all of them!

- How could you? - How could I not?

Talk about one-stop shopping.

Five minutes, and I filled my quota for the week.

They were trying to get better!

- What are you talking about? - No one gets better.

Don't you know that by now? Sally!

Sometimes, I feel like you don't listen,

and that hurts.

- Zoe, I'm so sorry. - Stop it!

Sally, this is all your fault!

- Give me a little credit. - Oh, God.

I am done! I don't care what you do to me.

I am never gonna be like you.

[chuckling]

It's cute when you act like you have a choice.

The only path you take

is the one I choose for you.

Zoe, I...

You stay the hell away from me!

**

**

Come back to bed.

I don't think that's a good idea.

And if you wanna throw something at me,

I won't even duck.

[scoffs]

Scoot over.

What?

[sighing]

What are you doing?

Going back to sleep.

Yeah, I can see that, but why?

Because I'm tired.

Mm, you're warm.

And since you're more screwed up than I am,

what are you gonna do...

judge me?

**

[birds chirping]

[gasps]

[panting]

Congratulations.

For what?

You...

are the lone survivor of Casualty Clearing Station 54.

What did you do to me?

I used them.

I used them to make us better.

Oh, and Henry,

[struggling]

I saved you some.

What are you talking about?

Come, now.

You said that you wanted to know what it was like.

You went to sleep weak, and you woke up strong.

Now, it's gonna take some getting used to.

[whispering] What do you want me to do?

Henry...

He's wounded, and he's suffering,

and he's going to die anyway.

Just this once. [crows cawing]

I told you I can't kill men.

I know.

But, that was before you met me.

[suspenseful music plays *]

So, this is what it's like being part of a well-oiled machine.

Suren must be happy.

I have my own reasons.

You did all this for me.

You haven't eaten. You must be starving!

- Let's get some brekkie. - You do whatever you want. I'm out.

Come on, this is the best I've felt in decades.

It'll be like old times.

Hey, I'm Josh.

We met yesterday.

Thanks for the invite.

You're Henry.

You look so much better.

Catch you later, Aidan.

Only one thing would make him heal that fast.

What happened in there?

**

[panting]

No, please, no. Okay, you can do this.

Cleansing breaths.

Nick.

Nick, you shouldn't be here right now.

Zoe told me what happened.

I didn't know that he was gonna kill them, Nick!

- Who would kill them? - The Reaper!

Look, either you help me salt us in, or you get out of here.

- It's okay. - You need to get out!

It's okay. We're gonna get you help.

And then, you are never gonna do this again.

I didn't do anything!

I didn't do anything! It was him!

Sally!

There is no Reaper.

**

I know I screwed up, but I never brought it here.

He didn't have anyplace to go.

You know how many places I've got where there's no pretense?

Where just being isn't exhausting?

One. This house, with you and Sally.

I've almost earned my freedom once and for all,

but I told you that it was gonna get messy.

No, no, no, no.

There's messy, and then there's this.

This is never going to happen again.

We're gonna get it back to the way it was.

Don't worry about it.

- He's right behind you. - No, there is nobody else here.

- He's right behind... - It's gonna be all right.

- [screaming] - Let go of him!

He didn't do anything!

He thinks he can have a human, flaunt it in our face?

Please, don't do this.

Stop it! Stop!

I'm not gonna do this. I'm never gonna be like you.

[chuckling]

Don't you get it, Sally?

You are me.

Here's how it goes.

Usually, a ghost is around

just long enough to have a little fun.

But the longer a ghost circles the drain, crazier the ghost.

What do you want?!

[screaming]

- I'm unbalanced? - Yes!

You're the one who passed up your door, and you possess!

I don't need your help! You're crazy!

[grunting]

Who are you?

[distorted] You know exactly who I am.

Sally! There is no Reaper.

[grunting]

You are an interesting case, Sally Malik.

- What do you mean? - You're...

special.

You really think so?

Sally.

Sally!

Sally, Sally. Let him go.

You don't wanna do this, Sally.

I think I do.

Oh, and, boys,

Sally isn't here anymore.

[screaming]

What did you do?

He had to go.

They all did.

You don't get to decide that.

Somebody has to.

Somebody has to tell them that they don't belong here anymore,

that it's time to stop holding on.

Sally, you belong here with us.

[deep voice] Oh, that's so sweet.

You sound just like Nick.

Is that how you want to be treated?

[screaming]

Aidan! She's not kidding around, man!

[grunting]

**

[softly] What's going on?

We're not sure yet.

Are-Are you, are you okay?

I think... [panting]

I can't...

Can you, um... - Yeah.

Of course. - No, no.

- What? - Uh-uh, mm-mm.

Guys, let me out.

Guys, come on.

[deep voice] I said let me the hell out of here!

**
