Being Human

Previously, on Being Human.

No one in our world is gonna have anything to do with Aidan McCollin.

I am banished from all vampires under penalty of death.

I have to go back,

as long as we keep running your life is in danger.

Ghosts have started appearing.

I'm trapped, forever.

Because some ghost just took the wrong door,

Limbo, that's what we're calling it.

Josh, I know how to lift this curse

it's about finding the man who turned you.

If you find him, and you kill him,

you're free.

I will protect you.

It's too late.

I loved you enough Josh.

You just never believed it.

I was a good child.

I did my homework, ate my vegetables...

Josh!

...kissed my mother goodnight.

Let's not go in there.

l'm here now.

Can't just leave. How would that look?

It will look smart, Josh.

The easiest person for them to hate right now is you.

I was patient. I was kind.

But I'm starting to think

that good things don't actually come to those who wait.

We behaved as well as we could for as long as we could.

And now it's time to try something else.

Can I help you?

I'm sorry.

You would've been content to never see me again.

Hey, if this is gonna be the last time we talk,

can we at least have some satisfying answers?

Come one, please, just give me something to make sense of this.

Sense?

Logic?

None of that matters. You know that.

Never forget how old Mother and I are.

Matters like this are primal with her!

Yeah, like love is primal?

Like survival is primal.

I'm sorry.

I was weak.

See, she's made you believe that you are,

but I know that we could've been strong.

If you had just held on just a little while longer,

you would've known...

that I did it.

I... I secured asylum with the Dutch.

I didn't doubt you would.

Well, then why? Why would you give up?

Just... just tell me the truth.

Because you would've paid for my indiscretions with your life.

I told you. I tried to warn you.

Mother wouldn't let me run.

She wouldn't rest until I came back to her,

until you were dead.

You're safe now, Aidan.

That's why I came back.

You're free.

After all this...

after decades,

do you really think that freedom,

freedom won like this,

do you think it really means anything to me without you?

Huh?

No, I don't accept your conditions.

Aidan.

I told you I was weak.

You're my weakness.

You can't ask me to watch you die.

We came screaming into this world.

How can we possibly leave it without a fight?

You know what I was thinking on the drive down here?

Hmm?

For most people, going home is a safety net,

a place to hide until the worst passes.

And there's no hiding here for me any more.

I'm the monster they wanna keep out.

Look.

People are in shock.

They're grieving.

Which is not to say that you're not...

No, you are right.

I shouldn't have come.

It was selfish.

I thought I could redeem myself to them.

I was so close to redeeming myself to her.

But you did.

I saw you two together.

What you saw was me holding on

to something that was never gonna happen.

I can't imagine how horrible it must've been

for you being there.

But you didn't do this.

You don't understand.

This would never have happened if I wasn't how I am.

Josh.

You had no control over the situation.

Don't let something random clog the truth.

What is it?

I don't know.

Josh.

I would've come sooner. I just got the messages.

What? Oh God.

You're still my emergency contact.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I never changed it.

No, don't be sorry.

Was it the, uh...

eclipse?

Yeah.

I was here, working.

Kaufman let me back.

It's a concussion? They're worried about swelling?

That's why I'm in observation.

I tried to make it down to the isolation room,

but on that last flight of stairs...

Yeah.

Josh, I'm sorry.

I heard what happened.

I was...

I was gonna tell her the truth.

And then she saw me.

You can't blame yourself.

Who do you want me to blame? Ray?

I've thought about it.

If there were ever a time...

grab the gun, go to his house...

and then what?

Kill him, free myself

and leave you where?

Cursed.

And I promised you I would find a way to fix this.

I can't do this to you.

You haven't.

I've made my decision.

But you don't know everything you need to know.

What do you mean?

The curse, it's in the bloodline.

If you kill your maker,

you don't just cure yourself.

You cure whoever you made.

I wanted you to choose for you,

not for me.

And when you decided not to kill Ray,

I was relieved, Josh.

I was.

I wouldn't want you to become a man who could kill another man.

I know what that would do to you.

Please, Josh. You can't.

Promise me.

I promise.

Danny called it "limbo".

No, what? Danny?

Yeah. That happened.

About limbo, he told me a way in.

I take another ghost's door.

Just so you're clear, that ghost goes crazy.

I mean, that's what happens, right?

Did Danny happen to mention how to get out?

So I give up?

The way Suren gave up?

I just... I need to make it right.

She thinks that she's done me a favour.

Maybe it's better you two were only together for a few months.

It was a little longer than that.

I'm here.

I didn't forget.

Suren.

Useless and sentimental.

Forgive me. I thought that you were away.

So you intrude on my estate?

Only once a year,

on the day of her burial.

My daughter can't see you or hear you.

You think she can sense you,

standing above her grave,

that she takes comfort from that?

Respectfully, but it's been 5 years.

The longer she stays underground...

No one's mind can handle that.

If you dig her up now, she'd be grateful.

You think I'm doing this to hurt her?

I'm sorry about Julia.

I'm guessing it's not a good thing that you're back here.

I'm gonna kill Ray.

With a gun, with Hegeman's gun.

For Nora.

I can cure her if I kill him.

Josh.

And don't even try to stop me.
