What version is correct? he said you'd be back. - in original. he said you would be back. he said you should be back. I know difference between should and would, but in context we can use both meaning, I think. (the girl who is being considered on the role of new designer in the film named inception with Dicaprio is coming back and she is told "he said you'd be back" I think maybe there are some rules that define the most probable meaning between should and would in cases like that.

Although they have a similar meaning, there is a slightly different nuance here. He said you would be back. -> Implies the person came back freely. He said you should be back. -> Implies the person came back because of an obligation. Another example for you is: He would not want your juice. -> Implies that the person would not choose the juice because he doesn't like it, out of choice - i.e. He doesn't like the juice, the juice might be dirty, he might not want to share someone else's juice. He should not want your juice. -> Implies that he may want the juice but there's something that is holding him back from freely choosing, like an obligation i.e. diet, allergies, was taught not to want it / accept it etc.

I agree with Peter. 'd can be either had (which is impossible here) or would. Unless there are some new grammar rules in English, which is changing constrantly)

Generally speaking in a situation like this the apostrophe (') replaces the word "would". I can't think of an instance where you would use an apostrophe to replace "should".
