- (nora): Josh, not the silver!
- How long do we have? - Maybe 30 minutes.
- I'm on a runaway train.
- You're back!
- I can't see josh...
- Yes, you can. - ...Real josh...
Till the next full moon?
He's a full-time wolf now?
- He's gone.
- Aaah! - Stop!
I don't know what that was.
- Sally! Sally! - Sally?
- Guys? Guys!
- I love you, aidan, but I'm not gonna cease to exist
If you are not ready to say it back.
- Now, you be good to your mother while I am gone, isaac.
I want to be with you forever.
- Aidan.

I want you to know that I came back different.
Powerful.
Well, I mean, "powerful" might be overstating things a little.
I sort of have this introductory pyro deal
And this unsettling ability
To witness child murder in other dimensions, apparently.
So, yeah, I just gotta work on the control factor a little bit.
That's what I'm thinking.
(creaking)
(werewolf growling)
Josh.
(werewolf growling)
Josh, can you hear me?
(gasps)
- Sally? What are you doing?
Josh? Josh!
It's all right! I'm here.
That's it.
What happened? What were you doing?
(birds chirping)
Can you please just try to stay out of there?
It's the silver.
The more he struggles, the more he hurts himself.
Look, I know you just got back, and that you're hopeful.
You wanna make a connection to whatever part of josh
Is still inside of that thing.
But we've been out in these woods, sally, for 3 months.
- Nora... - I lost my best friend.
I lost the one person on this planet
Who actually understands me.
I lost josh.
And every full moon, he comes back a little bit worse.
I can see it in his eyes!
He's losing his humanity.
So you're gonna have to forgive me
If my hope is on short supply these days.
- I think I can help him.
(sighing)
- What did you say?
- I have this...
- Power.
Yeah, I know you do.
I've seen it.
But what happened to you after the fireworks show?
Where the hell did you go?
- Well, I made it back, didn't I?
- I'm sorry. Maybe I've just dug up one too many bodies.
I know that it's probably magic that got him into this,
But donna's magic, which is your magic, too, now, I guess,
Scares the crap out of me.
- All right. I mean, so what?
What's the plan?
You and aidan, you stay out here,
You stick to the s'mores and hotdog diet
And just wait it out,
Until the wolf takes over and you lose your husband for good?
You're right, nora.
Donna's magic is what got josh into this,
So I don't see how we have much of a choice.
I love him too, nora,
And he saved me more times than I can count.
(crickets chirping)
You have to let me help him.
(inhaling)
(train horn blaring)
(gulls squawking)
- It's good to see you. Did I say that?
- You haven't said anything, really.
- Oh, it's the first sentence I keep tripping over, then.
(sighing)
It's a little strange, isn't it?
- Just a little.
All this time, I...
I never imagined you wearing a leather jacket.
(chuckles)
- Uh, yeah, I guess I've been in a rut
For the last couple of decades.
- You speak differently.
- You're wearing pants.
(chuckles)
- It has been a really long time.
- Suzanna...
What happened to you, uh, on that riverbank,
You didn't deserve that.
And, look, I just gotta ask you.
What-- how did this-- how did this happen?
Who?
- (reverend): Save your soul!
Renounce the monster who is now your husband!
- I will not!
- Isaac, wait here.
(panting)
Suzanna! Oh! Oh! Oh!
(sobs)
(women screaming)
(grunting)
(roaring)
(gulls squawking)
(gasps)
(coughing)
- Welcome back, lovely!
- The river!
It was my end!
The reverend...
- The reverend is a self-righteous fool.
I've been watching you.
I'm sorry your good friends and neighbours
Couldn't see your better qualities of love and loyalty.
You should know that those elevated by an enlightened mind
Are oftentimes forced to pay the ultimate price in this world.
You are a good woman, suzanna waite,
And if you do exactly as I say,
I will reunite you with your husband.
- You...
You--you are the demon
Who visited this plague on my family!
Who robbed aidan of his humanity.
- I celebrate his humanity!
As did you.
Do you really think him a monster,
The man you took into your bed
And fed by your vein?
- Monster.
Then I too?
- We are the same.
Strong, powerful beyond measure.
Freed from the bonds of immortal life.
The love you share with aidan can burn for an eternity.
Precious few have that chance.
- Aidan despises who he is,
What you made him!
He would prefer I lay still in a watery grave.
He will mourn his wife.
- I assure you that these feelings will pass away
Upon your first reunion.
(groans)
Ours is an easy life.
The only hardship we face is the pursuit of food.
This feeling you have now, this hunger, it's only going to grow.
You must feed and soon.
There is a village up the road. Come, I will teach you.
When we've had our fill, we will find our aidan.
(whimpers)
- I--I cannot!
I will not!
- Why must they always run?
(¶ foe singing bad dream hotline ¶)

¶ your voice is so small your voice is so cold ¶

(laughing)
- You were the first casualty
In an endless stream of consequences for what I became.
- Well, I welcomed you back home. That was my choice.
- Yes.
- No one forced me to.
- But I made you promises.
I did. In that white clapboard meeting house,
I promised to love you, to honour you.
- Well, the girl who's owed that apology is long dead.
- Yeah, but I didn't honour you.
Suzanna, the day that you died,
I abandoned your son...
To avenge you.
It's 200 years.
And in all that time, I have never been brave enough
To learn what became of our boy.
- I was scared too.
I mean, he was left an orphan.
But he died a grandfather.
(sighing)
(chuckling)
I am so glad to see you again.
- I wanted to see you too.
- Then why did you--
(scoffs)
Why did you stay away?
- Aidan! Check it! Check it!
Oh, oh, oh! - That's impressive, sally.
- Right, right, right?
Look at this. Look.
I'm a ghost, just reading a book,
Like I do, turning the pages,
You know, with my hands!
(laughing)
Who's this? I thought you came back
To spend the night with kat.
- I did.
- Who's this glossy-haired long face?
- Hi! I'm--
- She's an old friend of mine.
- You can see me? - (aidan): Yeah.
And you know what normal people can see?
A floating book. Check it out, everyone. Go, surreal!
Please be subtle. - What are you?
I was serious about your hair. It's nice.
- No, focus. Where did you get this?
- It's donna's. It's what I'm gonna use to help josh.
I suggest you cut the side dish loose and meet us in the woods.
- Ho-hold it!
(birds chirping)
- What time does the sun set? - Hold on.
Can we please, for a minute,
Pretend that we are rational people
With a healthy mistrust of the metaphysical?
- (nora): 7:57. - What?
- Sun tracker app.
It really takes the guesswork
Out of that whole "what time to hang the ham hock" game.
- We don't have a lot of time.
- Till what? - The moonrise.
- The moonrise! You have an appointment at a day spa
And you come back very, very cocky.
- I can do this spell, aidan. - Can you?
- You should thank me, because finally, one of us can help him.
- Do you hear what you're saying?
We're taking josh's life into our hands.
- Do you have better ideas?
- This is way too big to put your faith in.
I love her to death, and she's great at things
Like straightening her hair and dental hygiene,
But this is a whole different thing.
- I'm sitting right here.
- Using spells to solve problems
Only leads to other, usually bigger problems.
Have you forgotten about the time you bit my stomach off?
- Stop it, ok?
- I'm sorry!
- I'm just as scared as you are. More!
But we have to do something.
- We're trying to do something,
But does this have to be tonight?
- We're losing him, more every day.
And the moon is, I don't know, waning or something.
- It's waning, yeah.
- Waning. So, apparently tonight is the night.
- It's all in here.
I was meant to find this. You can't deny it.
This sucker's heavy and I can't even pick up a pencil.
- Using donna's witchcraft might bring josh back. It might.
I can admit to not understanding that kind of power,
But also, something could go very, very wrong.
You're his wife.
Are you willing to take that kind of risk?
Because it really shouldn't be up to us.
(sighing)
- Let's do this.
No webelos, no necking teens. I'm so tired of running.
- I'm not really sure how all of this is gonna go down,
But I'm guessing it's gonna get screamy.
- Great, so you gonna fill us in on the plan?
What is this kiddy pool doing here, for example?
- That's for the spell. - Of course it is.
- Ok, so, the key to getting josh back is the moon.
I mean, josh is still human once a month,
When the moon is full.
That means that the wolf hasn't taken him, not all the way.
Josh's transformation is tied to the lunar cycle.
- We already know that, sally.
- The moon is waning. Witches and the moon have a connection.
During different phases,
Different spells are more powerful.
Why are you looking at me like that, aidan?
- I'm sorry!
- During the waning phase
Is when we cast spells of banishment,
To dispel what we no longer wish to be burdened by.
- We? Ok, "we cast spells of banishment."
It just sounds very jonestown.
- Could we get through this? - I'm just saying.
- Sally, carry on.
- Oh, I'm actually done.
Harness the moon's power, fight the wolf.
Thanks, big magic book!
- So, what else? - What?
- What else? We need a bat wing or a lizard's scale
Or a heart of a dude you killed?
- Really? - Sorry.
- Blood. We just-- we need blood.
- We don't have any blood.
You should've told me this
Before I left the house that has a fridge full of it.
- Not that kind of blood. We need something more potent.
Sacred blood. Blood of the goddess.
- What?
Ugh, just say it!
What kind of poor, woodland creature do I have to murder
With my bare hands
Just to make the spell work?
- We need a gal who's aunt flo's making her monthly visit.
- Eww! - I'm sorry!
The women's cycle is also tied
To the lunar cycle, as it happens,
And we just need the blood to harness the moon's power!
(sally and aidan sighing)
- What?
- Um... I can smell it?
- Oh god! - I'm sorry! Nora...
- Oh my god! - I'm horrified!
- So, is that, like, an ongoing skill set?
- No! Well...
- As in, all the time I've known you,
And all the time we've lived together, you could...
- It comes with the territory of being a vampire!
There's not much I can do about that!
- Great! Good to know. So, do I just--
- Try to shoot for 5-7 ml.
- (aidan): Ah! - Ok!
- No, no, no! No, no. No.
(bird chirping)
- As much as I respect what it is you just had to do,
Unfortunately, I can only hold this book.
- Right. I'll just keep holding onto it, then.
- Ok.
(crickets chirping)
(sighing)
(speaking foreign language)
(wind blowing)
(speaking foreign language)
Ok.
(sighing)
(sally speaking foreign language)
- Oh!
(foreign language)
- Ok, let's go.
(nora sighing)
- Yeah.
(growling)
(foreign language)
- Oh my god!
(foreign language)
Sally! What are you doing?
We have to keep him still. The dagger has to enter his heart.
- What? - Excuse me?
- You never said anything about stabbing!
- It's not him! - This is insane!
- He won't feel a thing. Give me the tranq gun.
- No. He has to be awake.
- Come on! What's next? Are we gonna light him on fire?
- Let me do it.
- No, no. Nora!
(snarling)
- Just stay calm, ok?
That's it. Just stay calm.
Josh?
(whispering): That's it.
I'm so sorry.
(snarling, dagger clattering)
Oh! Ah!
- (sally): Ah!
(werewolf yelping)
(all panting)
- No. No, josh. What happened?
Where are you?
Please, please, please! Come back, josh.
Sally, why isn't it working?
- Please tell me I didn't just kill my best friend.
- Sally?
- Guys?
Guys, where are you?
- What happened? Where is she?
- She's gone again. She can't control it!
Aidan, why did I let her do this?
- We gotta find her. Sally! - Sally!
Sally!
- Guys?
Ok. This is definitely an upgrade from the snuff film.
- Aidan? Aidan, what happened?
- Where's josh? Aidan!
Are you sleeping?
- So, this layer of scum around the kitchen sink is truly epic.
- Josh. Josh!
- Aaah!
- You said you'd be in here doing windows.
- Ow! - I'm sorry.
Did my little slap hurt you?
Oh, right, you eat people, so you're probably fine.
- My idea of clean and yours, not the same thing.
- Because you grew up in an early american mud shack
With a dirt floor.
- No, but in the 1700s, we caught on
To the idea of wood as a building material.
- This happened!
- I'm worried that this was a mistake.
- All of this, this already happened.
- We've had the keys for 7 hours.
- We're not "vibe-ing."
We're not!
I need someone I can vibe with.
- Josh, I'll do the windows.
- That's all I'm asking!
- On one condition: Leave my blood supply alone.
- Well, I'm not drinking it. - You're organizing it!
- We need a system!
- (aidan): It's blood in bags!
Martha stewart hasn't really weighed in on that.
- (josh): Look, it's something I enjoy! It relaxes me!
(aidan talking, indistinct)
- I thought I made that clear!
- What if I'm prepping for a dinner party...
(josh talking, indistinct)
- I'm travelling through time.
(sighing)
- I'm sorry.
(gasps)
Uh, nora?
Nora!
(grunting)
Nora! Nora!
- Oh my god! Josh!
Oh my god! Josh!
(grunting)
(josh grunting)
(groaning)
Oh my god!
It's ok!
I'm here!
You're safe now. Do you hear me?
(groaning)
We'll always keep you safe.
(¶ man and woman vocalizing )
(siren in distance)
Here you go!
Your blend, and it's loaded with honey, just the way you like it.
(sighing)
There's not really any food in the house though.
I've only been sleeping here
When I work back-to-back days at the hospital.
Aidan and I kind of worked out a schedule,
But I can go out and get you something.
Anything you want!
Even that jerky that's so high in nitrates
That it's too dangerous for human consumption,
You know, if that's what you wanted.
- I don't think I can eat right now.
- Right. Uh, well, that's--that's ok!
Do you, uh, do you just wanna, maybe, go to bed?
(sniffling)
- Is it time for bed?
- I'm sorry! I'm-- I don't know what to do.
I'm so happy you're home, and I want to take care of you!
- Yeah, I know! You are!
Nora, it's just..
(whooshing)
- Sally!
- You're here!
- What keeps happening to you?
- Well, I can't just-- why-- how are you here right now?
I left you all in the woods with an impaled werewolf corpse.
- Well, you were gone! We didn't know what to do!
So when aidan realized that josh was inside of the wolf,
We just-- we pulled him out!
- You pulled him out?
- Yeah! And it was really gross, if you must know.
- I wasn't finished, nora. The spell wasn't finished.
You shouldn't have done anything without me!
Why didn't you just-- - we didn't know where you were!
We couldn't just wait,
Not after everything that he went through!
And besides, even if there was more to it, josh is here.
He's home! And it's all because of you!
- I don't know! I mean, the magic, it's all so new.
I'm just flying on instinct here. What if aidan was right?
Maybe I shouldn't have messed with everything so soon.
- Listen to me, ok? You were right. You saved him.
I'm sorry I doubted you.
- You ok?
- I'm here.
- We should be celebrating with something stronger than tea!
- Yes!
Welcome home!
- Hmm!
(exhaling, knocking on door)
- Aidan?
- Hi, I know it's late. Um...
- How did you find me here?
- Oh, I only had to call a few hotels.
I knew that you would want something with history.
Uh, but we didn't really get to finish our talk the other day,
And there's a lot left to be said, don't you think?
- Sorry! Um, come in!
I don't really get to do a lot of inviting,
So it kind of saps the etiquette out of a girl.
(laughing)
- Yeah! Actually, things seem to be on the upswing.
Thank you for asking.
(sighing)
Um, I guess, I just needed to ask you again...
- Why I stayed away?
- And I know that I might not have the right--
- No, that's not true. Of course, you do.
I made promises to you.
- So why didn't we... We--we could've tried,
Tried to build a life together,
And no matter how perverted an existence it might've been,
It still would've been us.
- No...
Not with bishop by your side.
When he turned me,
He said it was a gift for you...
(scoffs)
...But you know that bishop is a brutal man
And he mistreated me.
I would rather not talk about it.
He decided I was not worthy of his son,
And I had no choice but to believe him.
I got the sense that a son
Was worth a lot more to him than a daughter.
- It, uh, it was a complicated relationship,
And it was all the way till the end.
- I didn't believe it
When I heard that he was dead,
Till they told me that you were the one that killed him.
- I know that this,
You and me here, is a lot,
But with bishop gone and the virus nearly wiping us out,
I had to come back home.
There was just too many unanswered questions.
And I really meant
What I said to you all those years ago.
I wanted you to go on with your life.
I just didn't know that death would take me from you so soon.
- Hold on for a second. Can I ask what's going on?
I don't really understand this.
What, we're just gonna live in the same city,
And we're eventually, I don't know,
We're gonna settle in to having a platonic meal together
Or however many brunches it takes
For 2 people to catch up on the past 2 centuries. Is that...
- I think we just let the past stay in the past.
Look, you have friends.
You have a home, a whole life,
Something of your own.
And I'm really glad!
Good night, aidan.
(door closing)
(sighing)
- Mmm... Hey! - Hey!
- Gripping stuff!
- Evidently! I'm really sorry to wake you up,
But you're in my bed, so...
- Nora let me in. - Ah!
- Oh, I saw josh! Nora seems so happy!
(sighing)
It's great news about his mom pulling through.
- Oh my god, yeah! Totally awesome!
- I wanted to surprise you.
What?
Ok, it's not as awesome a reveal
When there's highlighter ink
Smeared all over the upper portion of my body, but...
(laughing): Where were you? Nora wasn't sure.
- Uh, I was out for a walk.
I kind of figured I'd let the newlyweds,
You know, have a little space.
- Right! - And...
You know, kat, I've just been doing some thinking. Um...
- Hmm!
- Kat, this routine that we have,
Me coming home to you and reading together in bed,
And me making you coffee in the morning,
It's become this...
- Oh boy! We're there!
I think this is the fastest I've plummeted
From sexy, fun-loving couple
To the read-the- newspaper-in-silence
-Over-the-breakfast -table couple.
- Ok, shhh! What I'm trying to say is that I like it.
You and me work. We're easy.
And this just all feels like life!
And not at all boring, but still a fantastically ordinary...
- Hmm! - ...Life.
- Yeah, with the occasional twist!
- Kat, I love you.
- Twist!

- Then kill me! Kill me now!

- Of all the praises I sing of our existence,
You must understand this:
There is no hope beyond this life.
That is why we must drink what we can from this now.
This is our gift!
Beyond this, there is nothing but damnation.
Do you understand?
- What kind of life could I have?
(crying)
- This is not what I'd planned for you.
(crying)
You must leave here! Leave and never return!
- This is my home!

- Still thinks you're dead and honourable!
Aidan is destined for greatness,
But this, this would ruin him!
(sniffling)
- I could not control myself!
There is a darkness inside of me.
- How will aidan receive the murder of his only son?
Let this blood be our eternal secret.
It is the only way
To keep aidan from feeling the pain
That you are feeling now.
(sirens wailing)
- Will you just come to bed already?
- In a minute!
I just want you to have the most epic sleep of your life.
- The only part I care about
Is the part where I wake up next to you.
- Well, in that case, I'm gonna go wash up!
Five minutes!
The guy hasn't slept on a real mattress in 3 months!
- Captain!
(laughing)
So, how you holding up?
(sighing)
- Honestly, I don't even know
How to begin to answer that question.
- (laughing): Right!
Well, for example,
Are you sick and tired of everybody asking you
How you're holding up?
(chuckling)
(laughing)
- And borderline nauseated
By the idea of one more well-intended pleasantry.
Don't tell my wife.
- Wife! Squee!
(laughing)
- That's a nice word!
- So, you know why I've been away too,
Far away, to other places,
Other dimensions actually.
A couple times now.
And josh, I can't even,
I can't even guess at what it must've been like for you
When the wolf had control,
But I do know that, for me,
There was a lot of pain involved,
The kind of pain
That you can't begin to explain to anybody.
So it might take a bit, and that's ok,
'cause we'll wait.
You would tell me, right, if there was something wrong?
You know that you can talk to me about that.
- I'm--I'm exhausted.
- Ok!
- I'm just gonna call it a night.
- Ok! Ok!
- Sally!

Thanks for getting me back.
