Being Human 4×07 Making History

In this Cutler (Andrew Gower) centric episode, viewers finally learn about Cutler’s backstory and who his mysterious maker is. In flashbacks we can see a still human Cutler visiting none other than Hal Yorke (Damien Molony) in jail, who has been arrested for “illegal gambling and dog fights”. Hal wants to hire Cutler as his new legal representative and turns him into a vampire.

Cutler struggles at first with his new life, finding it particularly hard to kill people, especially his human wife Rachel (Natalie Burt). Cutler’s addiction for blood is overpoweringly strong and so Hal decides it is time to take some drastic measures to show Cutler his old, human life is over and to “burn his bridges”.

In present time, Hal pays a visit to the vampires at Stoker’s Warehouse and is surprised to see Cutler there who seems overjoyed that his maker is still alive. When Cutler offers him blood, Hal leaves horrified, but returns later to find out more about Cutler’s plans. This time he accepts Cutler’s offer to earn his trust.

In the meantime, Cutler has taken Tom (Michael Socha) under his wings and convinced him to do him one last favour: to use his werewolf form at the next full moon to attack the Old Ones in a confined space, after they have arrived in Barry Island. However, it wouldn’t be Cutler, if there weren’t more to the story…

Being Human 4×06 Puppy Love

The video, Cutler (Andrew Gower) uploaded on YouTube of the werewolves Tom (Michael Socha) and George (Russel Tovey) transforming at the full moon, is started to get attention. While most people believe it to be fake, it brings the young female werewolf Allison (Ellie Kendrick) into town where she encounters Hal (Damien Molony) and Tom.

Together the two young werewolves try to find out who is behind the leaked video footage. They come across Golda (Amanda Abbington), a new vampire in town, who has made it clear to Cutler that she is in charge now. When Tom and Allison reach a dead end with their investigation, they visit Cutler in his office who sees his opportunity to get rid of two problems at once.

Before the big showdown, Tom convinces Hal to go on a double date with him, Allison and a Scottish girl named Alex (Kate Bracken), a customer at the cafe. This is Hal’s first date in over half a century and Hal struggles to keep his bloodlust under control when Alex invites him to kiss her.

Being Human 4×05 Hold the Front Page

Cutler (Andrew Gower) continues his plan to expose werewolves as the big threat to human kind and in his determintaion he does not even shy away from manual labour. He personally drags bodies in the woods surrounding Barry Island and prepares them with a garden claw to make them look like they were attacked by a large animal – or a wolf.

“Teenaged” vampire Adam (Craig Roberts) returns to Honolulu Heights as he and his new lover, middle-aged school-mistress Yvonne Bradshaw (Selina Griffiths), are being chased by the press. Unfortunately one of the journalists, Pete Travis (Sacha Dhawan), is able to snag a picture of Adam – but it turns out to be empty.

With further evidence in hand, Pete pays a visit to a  solicitor – Cutler – and reveals to him that he has proof that vampires exist and that someone – “husbands, fathers, wives, sons, daughters, judges, police… solicitors” – is covering things up. Cutler sees his chance to enlist Pete’s help with his own plans and follows him to his hotel room.

Meanwhile Yvonne Bradshaw proves to be a whole new challenge to the male occupants at Honolulu Heights as her own supernatural powers of a special kind are causing havoc with their emotions.

Being Human 4×04 A Spectre Calls

The new supernatural trio at Honolulu Heights – ghost Annie (Lenora Crichlow), werewolf Tom (Michael Socha) and vampire Hal (Damien Molony) – are still trying to settle into a new routine when they are visited by a seemingly charistmatic ghost from the 70s called Kirby (James Lance). Everyone seems to be quite taken by the new addition but it soon becomes clear that Kirby has his own agenda.

Hal follows up on a newspaper article about the Box Tunnel Massacre and comes across coroner Dr Wilson (Lucy Robinson), whose report confirms that the victims were killed by Jason Healey – a human scapegoat for the real killer, vampire John Mitchell (Aidan Turner). When Hal pays a visit to Dr Wilson, she immediately recognizes him as a vampire and is clearly terrified of what he might do to her.

Back at the B&B, the situation between Hal, Annie and Tom escalates due to Kirby’s cunning manipulations. Eventually, Tom runs off and gets into trouble for letting off some steam. At the police station he receives help from an unlikely source and we also meet the vampire blackmailing coroner Wilson into altering her report…

Being Human 4×02 Being Human 1955

After Griffin’s (Alex Jennings) “proper death” at the end of episode 1, the vampires are yet again without a leader, and a new supernatural trio – ghost Pearl (Tamla Kari), werewolf Leo (Louis Mahoney) and vampire Hal (Damien Molony) – show up at Honolulu Heights, which causes friction with the current occupants, ghost Annie (Lenora Crichlow) and young werewolf Tom (Michael Socha).

Cutler (Andrew Gower) continues to work on his plan to reveal the existance of vampires and werewolves to humanity. He has brought a focus group, which appears to consist largely of homeless people, to Stoker’s warehouse and shows them the video of werewolves George and Tom changing at the full moon.

Before he can collect their surveys, however, he is distracted by fellow vampire Fergus (Anthony Flanagan) and his “war council” who have a slightly different approach to how things should be handled (and by who) in the future.
