Wolfblood (2012) s02e01 Episode Script

What is that smell? Erm Tom brought us a present.
Dog chews? I'm sure he meant well, Dan.
Do you know what these are made out of? Animal hide and marrow.
Mmm.
Time we were in the den! Dad! It's nice.
Ow! A present from Shannon.
Apparently it's the wise old owl of the forest keeping an eye on the Wolfbloods.
And bashing them on the head! She just wants to be part of things.
At least we know Shannon won't betray our secret.
Nothing could break that special bond between a girl and her dog.
Mam! I'm not a dog! Tickle her tum! Tickle her tum! And there you are.
Tom! How did you find me? Your mum said you were staying at Maddy's.
On a full moon so I thought it might help.
If it looks like they have visitors on a full moon, no-one will Hey! But what are you actually? Shannon, you didn't! It's for science, Tom.
It's vital that we Maddy's not an experiment in a lab.
She's our friend, Shan.
You won't want to watch this, then.
Are they going to? Transformation is not instantaneous.
All three seem to have changed at slightly different times.
You've got what you wanted, right? Let's just Is that Maddy? Yeah.
Why's she behaving like that? Maybe she wants to get out.
Maybe she can smell us out here.
She can't.
Not from in there.
Can she? Shan Maddy is attempting to get out of the cellar.
Shan.
Her parents seem agitated, too.
Of course, this could be the natural reaction to being locked up.
Shannon! What? What do we do? Rhydian? It is! It's Rhydian! Rhydian?! He's brought friends.
They're not friends.
So what do we do? Run! Wait for me! Rhydian? OK, OK.
I'm on it.
Tom help! I know Tom and Shannon didn't have a choice, but it's embarrassing! The den's private.
There's not much scent.
These wild Wolfbloods didn't stay long.
They hate the human world.
I didn't think they would follow me this far.
Who were they? Aran and Meinir.
They're just beta wolves - henchmen.
And Alric.
And who's Alric? You're being chased by the pack leader.
What happened? I broke the rules.
What rules? Alphas don't leave their pack.
He chased you all the way here? How did you make him that angry? Not unless you did something unforgivable.
He hated me, OK?! Because I was new, because I didn't obey stupid laws, because I was different.
He hated me for the same reasons you hate me! Scrambled or fried? Come on, Rhydian, we don't hate you.
You threw me out of your pack.
This isn't about us.
It's about why there's a wild alpha male roaming our territory, putting us all in danger.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
Well done, Mam! He chose to go with his mother.
Only because we found out.
What else is he going to do? He comes back in trouble and we welcome him with open arms? Yes we are, because we're his pack! Rhydian! Don't worry about me, I'm gone.
You've got nowhere to go.
Come back inside.
Your parents don't want me here.
They're scared that there's more going on than you're telling us.
But you know what? I don't care.
So Alric's out there running around, big deal.
Maybe you did some bad stuff out there? Who cares? All I care about is you.
So come back inside and be part of the pack again.
OK? So, how are we going to fix this? We'll make some calls.
Social Services, the Vaughans.
You can't tell Social Services I'm back! They'll send me to a home.
There are people we can go to.
Wolfbloods in positions of authority that can solve problems the rest of us can't.
Cool.
Wolfblood mafia! Tom! Stop it.
First thing, let's get you two home so you can change for school.
Well, have fun in double physics.
And what makes you think you're not going, young lady? Listen, stay in the school grounds and don't go anywhere on your own.
And not a word about Rhydian until we've got this sorted.
OK.
See you later.
And you'll let us know as soon as anything happens, with Social Services, or anything? Everything's going to be fine.
I'll pick you all up at 3.
30pm, OK? Yeah.
Oh, wait.
We're going to be late.
Why? And don't forget, tonight, the school's first ever judo class starts.
I see we have some takers already.
Martial arts are an excellent way to develop self-reliance, so, from 4.
00pm today I don't understand why they've chased him all this way.
There must be something he's not telling us.
He must have done something really bad.
He looked terrified.
Yeah, good job you were in the woods last night.
.
.
so please don't bring any funny-looking pyjamas or anything.
I hope a lot of you will be there.
I'd also like to thank James for organising the taster session, which shows a real display of initiative on his part.
Something this school could well do with more of.
So are you coming to judo, sir? I hear it's good exercise for the more mature man.
Off you go, before I use my black belt in origami.
Mr Jeffries! Oh, yes.
Uh-huh.
You have to tell Maddy about the camera.
Shh! You know how good her hearing is.
Yes, and her sight, so sooner or later she's going to find it.
I'm not an idiot, Tom.
Well It's well hidden.
And anyway, Rhydian's what's important right now, so let's sort that out, shall we? Wrong electromagnet, Maddy.
Stick to that one.
You can have this one back at lunchtime.
See? We can't tell her now, she's all upset.
You're stalling, Shan.
Look you're not planning to tell Maddy at all.
Tell me what? Erm .
.
when we were in the woods last night, we were, well we were thinking of sneaking up to the house and maybe opening the coal hatch, just to take a peek.
Shannon! I know, I know.
It's just We wanted to feel like we were part of it.
You are part of it.
Both of you.
You're my best friends and you're part of my pack.
That means everything to us.
So, who's got a phone I can borrow? There you go.
I hope you're proud of yourself, lying to Maddy.
I'm not going to tell her about the camera.
Shannon! The Wolfbloods will get found out one day.
The internet, camera-phones, CCTV - it's going to happen.
And whoever finds them might decide they're a danger to humanity.
That they're evil.
But I'll have evidence proving that they can control their instincts.
The day the secret comes out, my evidence might be the only thing that can save them.
Oh.
That's actually really smart.
It's true, Tom.
I'm doing it to make them safer.
Fine, I won't tell, if you take the camera out of the den.
What? You already have enough evidence so leave them one place where they can be themselves.
Why aren't they answering? You're getting into a state about nothing, Mads! What if the wild Wolfbloods are attacking the house right now? Those Wolfbloods are halfway back to the frozen north by now.
Your parents are just sorting out Rhydian.
Everything will be fine.
Like my Sensei will tell you tonight, in Judo, never oppose strength with strength.
Work out your opponent's attack and use their weaknesses against them.
So, who's first? Me.
Brilliant! Remember what I said, guys? Go on, Jimi.
All right, Kay, stand square on the mat and spread your weight between both feet.
I'm sure they're fine, yeah? Go on, Jim.
And grab me.
You broke my nail! No way! You can't Stop it! There are strict rules You can't just attack me.
Rhydian? Rhydian! Where have you been? Wow, you really need a haircut! Thought we'd seen the last of you.
Where've you been? On the run.
From who, the hairdressers? When has running away made anyone a hero? No-one called him a hero! Why is everyone treating him like a rock star? He's a kid who ran away.
So what is this, Jimi? A pyjama party? Judo, actually.
Kids' stuff.
Really? Try to grab me, like Kay did.
Come on, Jimi, put him down.
Go, Rhydian.
Go on, Jimi.
Rhydian, Rhydian, Rhydian! Go on, Jimi, get him! That was amazing.
That was so impressive.
Aaargh! Jimi! Jimi! Mate, you all right? Rhydian! That was so unfair.
Rhydian? Same old Rhydian.
No I really don't think it is.
The world of 1918 was very different.
Hurry up, Rhydian.
You're already three months late, let's not make it any worse.
Soldiers returning from the front were changed by their experiences.
They returned uncommunicative, prone to mood swings and unable to adjust to their old way of life.
Maddy.
Can't stop.
Got to photograph the Judo Club.
No, wait.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean You're always sorry, Rhydian, then you do the same old stupid thing again.
Coming back from the wild, it's not like coming home from a holiday.
You've changed, that's for sure.
What did you expect? I mean, the things you do in the wild, they're different, then you come back and you just feel Moody, apparently.
Why does it always have to be my fault? I'm just trying to help you, Rhydian.
What, by asking questions all the time? Just stay out of my head! Are you OK? Hey! What do you think you're doing, speaking to Maddy like that? You're so fond of questions, Shannon.
Answer me this one, what were you really doing camped outside Maddy's on your computer, during a full moon? See? We all have our secrets.
They're here.
Outside.
They can't be.
They wouldn't come this close.
They have! You need to ring your parents and keep everyone inside.
They won't come into school while there are humans here.
I'll lead them away.
Don't be stupid! They're trying to kill you.
You can't I brought them here.
It is your fault, but you're not going out there alone.
Remember how judo's about understanding your enemy, using their strengths against them.
I don't think judo's going to help.
No, but Rhydian understands the wild pack a bit.
And we can use that.
We shouldn't be here.
All this risk for a defiant cub.
You've made your point, Alric.
Isn't it time? We came for him.
We don't leave without him.
But Are you challenging your leader? What's up, Alric? Scared of a few kids? Oh, no.
Electricity, lights, walls! Get him! We got them! This had better work.
Quick, get going.
If they smell you here Run to the tame wolf, have you? She can't protect you.
Whatever Rhydian's done, it's over.
You don't belong here.
Tell that to him.
He encouraged my pack to contaminate themselves with human contact.
It's not wrong to mix with humans! We mix with them, we become like them.
We become weak.
You brought that weakness into my pack and you will pay for it.
You're breaking the rules, too.
This is our territory, and Rhydian's one of our pack.
You need to leave.
Now.
Brave words for a tame wolf.
Look at yourselves.
Your eyes, your veins.
Look at all the evidence.
Alric! There are humans everywhere.
What if they see this? What's the number one rule? Don't let humans find out.
That is what I will do! That won't work.
One click of a button and I'll send them halfway around the world.
Or I can make the evidence disappear.
If you leave and never come back.
You have to do as the cub says.
We should never have entered human territory.
Be quiet, you mewling cowards! Even a tame Wolfblood knows keeping the secret is the most important The most important thing to me is my pack, my friends.
If it means saving Rhydian, I'll tell the entire world.
Forget this cub, your responsibility is to your pack.
If you won't do the right thing, you're no leader at all.
Enough! We will leave.
And don't come back.
You want Rhydian, you keep him.
But your pack and my pack, we're enemies now.
You can't come in here! Let's see those judo photos.
Urgh, what's happened? Is it supposed to be like that? No! Why is there a hole? "To save Rhydian, I'll tell the whole world"? I had to say something.
He wasn't going to punish you, Rhydian, he was going to kill you.
Look, whatever you did, it's your business.
But next time you annoy a pack leader so much that he breaks all the rules, enters the human world, lets himself get photographed, just give us a bit of warning, yeah? Those shots would have looked a lot better on a 35mm camera.
I'm glad I came back.
Not half as glad as I am.
Hey! All they took was meat? The butcher had only just delivered it.
When he looked round, some girl was running off with it.
Can she read or write? I don't know.
What if she gets into a fight? Why come to the one house where she might be recognised? It's a challenge.
Weird.
He never mentioned any of this.
Never mentioned you at all.
Can she control the wolf? Distance yourselves.
We'll get rid of her.
No way.
She's dangerous.
She's dangerous to you!
