Wolfblood (2012) s02e11 Episode Script

Best of Both Worlds

- Jana! - Dad! You're my son.
I love you.
She's your responsibility now.
On your heads be it.
How did you get here so quick? - I ran.
- You ran?! I am loving flushing toilets! It doesn't get much more exciting than that! You're no daughter of mine.
Of course I'm looking forward to parents' evening! Who isn't? - Me! - Me! And me! Yeah.
It's all right for you, Einstein.
- All we get is "could do better".
- "Must try harder".
- "Make sure your parents are there".
- Oh, yeah, poor you! No parents at parents' evening might be a problem.
- I would just say they've got flu.
- Or Could do a Liam? "Fell down a hole, can't make it, sorry!" Ha! Genius! I'm telling you, write it down.
Mum! How are you, my beautiful boy? I'm good.
What are you doing here? - Is Alric? - Wait.
Your father has been exiled.
You are the new Alpha, leader of the pack.
A promise that I keep, I'll never share, I'll never speak.
To my grave the secret goes.
The beating heart, the beating heart.
The mystic creatures wandered far.
Through these veins a Wolfblood flows.
Through these veins a Wolfblood flows.
- Is my father hurt? - Nothing wounded but his pride.
What happened? - What's she saying? - Shh.
- Tell me! - Ei feddwl wedi chwalu.
He lost his mind.
I should find him.
Your priority is to your pack now.
This is your birthright.
Your destiny.
- I can't just leave him.
- You must! A good leader puts his pack first.
Your father forgot that.
All he thought about was destroying my son.
I need to think! - Bit much for a kid, isn't it? - Her father raised her for this.
She will do what's right.
And you can return home too.
Whoa, mum! It's not as simple as that.
Alpha male to her female.
What do I do, Maddy? My life is here now.
Then stay.
If the pack destroys itself, their blood is on my hands.
No.
I have to go.
But I can't rule by fear like my father.
That's good, cos you're not as scary, are you? I mean, you're scary but you're just not like scary.
My dad ruled like those before him ruled.
The pack will expect me to do the same.
That's our history.
They hate change.
So what are you going to do? Change history.
I'll return as leader.
On one condition.
- The pack must change.
- Change? Why do we never stay in one place? It's our nature to roam.
Our freedom.
Once.
But the wilderness keeps shrinking.
We don't move because of the seasons any more.
We move because we fear all human contact.
What are you saying? We become tame? - Like - No! I'd never destroy our culture.
Just our hatred.
To survive in this world now, we need contact.
Trust.
Tame Wolfbloods.
Even humans.
The pack respect you as an elder.
If you back me up on this, they'll respect my decisions too.
- I will do as you order.
- I don't need your submission.
I need your support.
Will you support me? - I will.
- Then prove it.
Until we leave, you will live life as a human.
Here.
And tomorrow night, you come to the school parents' evening.
What!? I need a parent.
- Who better than Ceri? - Um, anyone?! You can't ask mum to do this.
The school will be full of people.
- She'll wolf out.
- That's what you said about me.
Will you help me on this or not? What do you need us to do? Haircut.
This is a massive risk.
I still can't believe we're doing this.
It's important.
It has to work, mum.
If it does, we're changing history.
You can't change history with dinner and a meeting at school.
And if this all goes wrong tomorrow night, then we're all I'll let them in.
- This is madness.
- I know.
Can't we stop it? Parents' evening? How? It's Jana's decision.
Ceri Jana.
You'll remember my mum and dad.
Sit down.
Make yourselves at home.
- Let's talk about parents' evening! - Ok.
So the teachers will be in their classrooms.
Pupils and parents go in one at a time.
Now The danger - Is going to be the corridors.
- Corridors.
That's where all the noise and people are.
Do you think you can recognise when the wolf is close to the surface? I'll look after her.
They'll have questions.
Expect her to know the answers.
- Mum can do this.
- And what if she can't? I said I'd look after her.
It makes no difference to you.
You're going anyway! Stop! Stop it! All of you! If that's what you think of me, there's no point me being here.
Er, I don't think so! This was your idea and we all agreed to help! You're not getting out of it that easily, now sit down! I'm sorry.
This is exactly what will happen, the moment you take Ceri into that school.
You're just asking for trouble, the whole lot of you.
The Smiths say you can spend the night here.
I let you down earlier, losing my temper.
You see what the tame ones are like.
We should leave now.
All three of us.
No.
Make your peace with them.
Learn to understand their ways.
Of course.
You're right.
This is for the best.
I'll see you tomorrow evening.
I'll be up in a bit.
Come on.
I know you'll probably call it a prison, but I've slept down here.
- It's actually quite cozy.
- She's too stubborn.
- She's a pack leader, isn't she? - Jana is no leader, she's a cub.
Then why are you here? Why are you doing this for her? You think I do this for her? Without Jana Aran and Meinir will take over the pack.
And you will never be allowed to see me again.
You must come back to the wild.
You are the reason I do this for, Rhydian.
The only reason.
Spending time with Ceri isn't the issue That school has been my life here.
I don't understand why you have to go to parent's evening at all.
You're both leaving anyway.
She needs to understand what I've been doing, why I've changed.
Meeting the teachers and other pupils will help her do that.
You can see Ceri's committed! Rhydian said she wouldn't even watch him play football last year.
This could make all the difference.
For both of us.
So you're going too then? Uh, I don't know yet.
Hey, how did you do? I got a "D".
A "D"? That's just in maths.
You should see my French marks! Parents' evening isn't just about the marks, it's what they think about our attitude.
With marks like these, I can guess what they'll think about mine.
No.
If we convince the teachers we're full of school spirit - Then we'll get some extra marks.
- But we've spent all year mucking about.
Well, we'd better get going then! Come on.
- You worry too much, mate.
- Have you met my dad? If I knew what the teachers were going to say, I'd be prepared.
Don't they write up notes on report cards? They're not going to let me see them, are they? You never know! - We'll help, Sir! I'll take these.
- No, it's fine.
- Nonsense, Sir, we're happy to help.
- Please, will you stop! Look what you've done.
Please! These are confidential Papers.
Ow! And you're not supposed to touch them.
Thank you, James.
You're not supposed to touch them.
Mum called Jana a cub.
She said the only reason she was doing this so I could go back.
So what if you don't go back? Then mum'll side with the pack against Jana.
Did she tell you that? No.
But that's what'll happen.
That's how it works.
Oh, what am I supposed to do? I'm not throwing Jana to the wolves.
It's emotional blackmail.
- We have to tell her.
- Then what happens? Jana will give up and I'll never get to see my family again.
Sorry, Maddy.
I have to go.
I've got to do this.
So How's Ceri? Yeah.
She's great.
Just sit down! Sit down, please! Thank you.
Right, tonight is parents' evening.
- We're looking forward to it, Sir! - You're the best, Sir.
Yeah, I just love history! Maybe you could try giving that impression during a history lesson, Katrina.
Right, let's get into groups of three.
The idea is to get you to reflect on your attitude to work.
Every member of the group should look at the others And the areas in which they've improved this year Oh, no, not you two! And also the areas in which they could still improve! Katrina, I think you've been really helpful to the teachers this year.
- And so have you, Kara! - Me too! It's work! It's your attitude to work! Hm? Let's start with Jana.
I think she's done amazingly well adjusting to Bradlington High Given the problems she has on being special.
What do you mean by special? Emotionally challenged.
What does that mean? Off her nut.
- Get off! - Rhydian! Get him off me! What is he doing? Get him off me.
He's a nutcase.
Stop it! Detention! All of you! Tonight! I mean tomorrow night! Why do you always have to start something? Jana? I can't do this, Maddy.
How can I lead a pack? Or keep the peace If I can't even stop Rhydian and Jimi having a go at each other? It just took you by surprise.
I don't know who I am any more.
Wild Wolfblood? Tame? Human? You're all of those things, and more.
A lot more.
You survived banishment.
You survived life here.
You know both worlds now and that's what sets you apart.
You don't know me at all, Maddy.
I didn't survive banishment.
I came here because my father told me to.
My job was to take Rhydian back for punishment.
I was meant to isolate him from his friends, tempt him back to the pack.
But then I fell in love With the human world.
And I couldn't do it.
And that's why Alric came back? I fooled you, and now I'm fooling myself.
I'm calling this off.
We can't bring Ceri to parents' evening.
You can't call it off! Ceri won't respect you if you do.
You need her on your side.
She said she'd support me anyway.
You're not the only cunning one, around here Jana.
Ceri wants Rhydian back.
- So if he doesn't go - You'll be on your own out there.
Unless you win Ceri over.
Heart and mind.
And if she wolfs out? Chews up the teachers? Then you'll be the most popular kid in school! Two seconds.
- Nervous? - What will be, will be.
- I want you to promise me something.
- What? That you'll follow your heart.
It's my pack now, not your mother's.
Oh! Well, look at you! Don't do that.
You're supposed to be my mum.
Rhydian! I've got to go now.
You can do this, mum.
Fod yn ddewr! That's her, isn't it? Rhydian's human mother.
Foster mother.
That's a human that loves and supports someone else's cub cos it's the right thing to do.
A bit like Jana.
She might be your leader, but You're the grown up, doing what's best for her.
She loves him.
Enough to make him feel safe.
Just stick with me.
"Mum".
You'll be fine.
Despite my best efforts, these behavioral issues are still a problem, I'm afraid.
I know.
We've tried to work on it.
And history it's not exactly his forte either.
But he's an incredibly gifted young man In sport, and art Though I do wish he'd be a bit more of a team player.
He needs to choose which way he's going to go.
He can knuckle down and achieve the potential that I know he has.
Or he can continue doing What he wants when he wants.
He knows this.
How many times have we had this conversation? You don't need to worry, it won't be a problem any more.
I'll catch up with you in a bit.
- Have you seen them? - No.
But we haven't heard any wolf howls or screams.
- How's things with you? - Doesn't really matter any more.
I'm not talking about parents evening.
- Where are they? - Don't know.
- So you haven't seen? - No! - Out of the way! - It's fine.
It's got to be fine.
- Otherwise we'd know.
- Hey.
Jimi, Jimi! - Get out of the way.
- Sam! What's going on? Jimi's dad just found out he got detention again.
So where are they? Now keep calm along here.
In geography and science I learned about the wilderness Why it's shrinking, how humans mess it up.
I learned that about humans.
They mess things up, but they always try to learn how and why.
It's called It's called human nature.
- Ceri! - I have to leave! Splash cold water on yourself.
Ceri! If you think the mirrors are good, wait till you see the flushing toilets! Come on.
They hate me! The teachers really hate me! They don't hate you! Just your work ethic.
I'm grounded for weeks.
Don't look at us, we've just come in.
Hello.
You must be Jana's mum.
I'm Kara.
Student representative on the school council.
So not a good night, then? It's not our fault, it's the teachers.
I'm trying, just none of them take me seriously.
They will if you two help.
You three stick together, no matter what, just to prove the teachers wrong.
Help Katrina with what you're good at.
Come on, mum.
She's right, girls.
I can help Katrina with science and you can do maths.
We'll show those teachers who's thick.
Yeah, we're the K's.
Mess with one of us, you mess with us all.
They listened to you.
Don't sound so surprised.
Hold out your hand.
That's how they greet each other.
Not so much Is everything all right? Like this.
You've got this.
Trust me.
- Hello.
- Hello, everyone.
- Mrs.
Vaughn.
- Hi, Mrs.
Vaughn.
This is my friend, Jana.
And her mum - Ceri.
- Lovely to meet you.
You're doing a good job with Rhydian.
Thank you! Maybe you could tell that to Mr.
Jeffries.
We will! Who's next? - Um - This is my mum.
Pleased to meet you.
I was thinking maybe a tea break.
Oh, yes.
Good idea.
- She thinks we're a - Shh! Apart from the natural sciences I would be lying if I said Jana was our most Gifted academic student.
But she has a remarkable, instinctive intelligence.
She's fantastic at sport.
Fiercely competitive she is a natural leader.
Did she tell you about the camping trip? No.
Jana's group got lost.
She led them back without the aid of a map or compass.
I'm telling you now, Mrs.
Vilkas if I was ever in danger or trouble.
That's one young lady I'd want by my side.
So, what's the verdict? - Did Ceri pass your test? - She did.
That's why she's staying at the caravan tonight.
We leave at first light.
I've got to go.
- But - I'll be there.
One pack leader to another.
Whatever he decides, no hard feelings? No hard feelings.
So.
You passed Jana's test.
Did she pass yours? She'll make a great pack leader.
Maddy.
But, you could be with your family.
I needed my family then.
Now I don't know what I need.
There are things here that I don't want to lose.
Ever.
I need to talk to my mum.
You saw me coming.
I knew.
- The thing is, mum - You were never really wild.
You won't let Jana down will you? I will be her rock.
Her foster mother.
Good, I'll come and visit.
Two packs, two families.
The best of both worlds.
I will always be there for you.
My beautiful boy.
Any way I can help, I will.
But I belong here now.
Yay! Didn't think we'd let you go without seeing you off, did you? Presents! You can share them with the rest of the pack.
Play guess the flavour.
And this Is from all of us.
Oh, wow.
And this is from me I made something for you.
- It's so good.
- Thanks.
Turn it over.
Tell Bryn I love him too, yeah? We'll tell Jeffries that the family's moved on.
We don't know where.
Thank you.
For everything.
Oh, come here! - You love hugs now.
- Yeah! I love you guys.
Where are they? Well, it is a full moon tonight, isn't it? Maybe they're letting off steam.
- What do you want, Alric? - I want my pack, I want my daughter.
The point of make-up is to accentuate the positives.
To bring out the real you, with a little bit of lip gloss and eyeliner.
The Dark Room.
Where is it? Who are you, exactly?
