Top Dog Wolfblood

These are all our secrets!

You're just lying. You're just lying all of the time.

Can you even control the wolf?

I think I can. I just normally don't have to.

You have human friends? Out!

I'm going to make this work.

I'm going to make you both proud of me.

-I'll take that.

-You need to wipe all the data.

You should learn some trust, Mads.

What is wrong with you?

Maybe I'm just sick of people doing things behind my back!

KIDS CHATTER

Hiya.

Morning. Right...

I'm sure I'm wasting my time here,

but the office has asked me to read a very important notice.

Pupils are invited to put themselves forward

as the year group representative

on the school council.

This is the most important leadership position in the year,

blah, blah, blah.

Names to the office by Friday.

Job done. Boom. Register.

-Sir.

-Mm-hm?

I'd like to be the leader.

Really?

What are you doing?

Actually, sir,

I'd like to be the year's representative on the council.

Really? Oh, well, that's very...

We think it should be someone with their finger on the pulse, sir.

Someone like me.

Too much girl power.

I'd better go for it, too, sir.

Well, looks like we've got a fight on our hands, hm?

# 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.#

The thing is, we have an expression here.

Don't run before you can walk.

I was born to lead. Like all my family.

You're supposed to be fitting in,

not sticking out.

Now that I'm going to stay here,

I need to take my place.

I just don't think you realise

what you're actually getting yourself into.

I've had some ideas for your campaign.

You want to do something for us?

You can delete them. All of them.

I would if I thought it would make any difference.

Come on, don't be like that.

I can make it up to you.

I can help you win.

I don't need your kind of help.

Suit yourself.

I've got a really bad feeling about this election.

As my campaign manager,

I think you should show a little bit more enthusiasm.

Manager? Me? No, no, no.

Rhydian, if you're not with us,

you're against us.

I'm not picking sides. I said the same thing to Jana.

Let's just get one thing straight.

Jana's in my pack, I'm not in hers.

She wants to be top dog and I'm not letting that happen.

Oh, come on.

Jana, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye,

but I can win this election for you.

-That's just...

-Ssh!

You know, she's going to know that you...

Forget it.

Why me? Why not Maddy?

I've crossed the floor.

It means I'm on your side now!

I...I believe in your message.

I don't have a message.

Of course you do!

You just don't know what it is yet.

But that's where I can help.

No-one knows playground politics like I do.

We need to win.

You have to win, whatever.

Tom! Lads' team!

Very subtle.

Think I wouldn't notice?

So, you and Jana.

What's that?

What it looks like.

I'm helping her win the election.

Wouldn't it just be easier to make up with Maddy?

I've tried! But she won't listen.

-The thing is, Shan, your research...

-I saved her life!

What if it fell into the wrong hands?

That data could save all of you if it came to it,

if you were found out some other way. I'm protecting you.

Well, Maddy doesn't see it like that.

And imagine how Jana would flip

if she found out you'd been spying on Wolfbloods.

Maddy hasn't told her?

Course not. Jana would probably eat you.

Anyway, it's not spying. It's observing.

Maybe Jana would understand that.

Well, I don't recommend testing that theory.

When campaigning, the rule of thumb is

people have to hear your message three times...

Face to face, word of mouth, written down.

Which is why this is being made available to you.

Photocopier. Laminator. Binder.

I'm trusting all of you.

Don't abuse it.

What's going on, Tom?

What? I'm just helping Jimi out with his manifesto.

Not that.

Has Maddy sent Shannon to spy on me?

No. They've just...fallen out.

About what?

Girls' stuff. It's beyond me.

That's why I'm backing Jimi.

What about getting Stella McCartney to design the school uniforms?

Like that's ever going to happen.

It's simple. We put the word out - vote for Kara, or else.

You don't get it, do you?

I want to win this on merit.

I want to show everyone there's more to me than just eyeliner

and lip gloss.

What's wrong with eyeliner and lip gloss?

Nothing. But it won't win an election.

-BOTH:

-Why not?

HE BURPS

-That's how we're going to win.

-Hm?

Someone burps, boys laugh but girls don't.

But we don't have to worry about the girls,

cos their vote's split three ways.

As long as we get every boy voting for me...

-Right?

-Yeah.

So wait, you want a policy that's like a burp?

Simple.

HE BURPS

THEY ALL BURP

I've analysed voters by age,

social network sites and make of mobile.

What's that got to do with anything?

Know the mobile, know the voter.

Graphs won't make me leader.

This one might. Floating voters!

No-one ever targets these guys,

cos they don't fit into cliques or categories.

You find out what they care about

and make that your policy.

It'll win you the election.

What do they care about?

What do you care about?

So, policy number one?

I want to make a difference.

How about reforming the tuck shop?

Because everyone else will be thinking of stupid stuff like that.

I want to do something with meaning.

Sounds like electoral suicide.

Well, it shouldn't be.

There's nothing more important to a school kid

than tuck shop.

THEY CAMPAIGN OVER MEGAPHONES

They're usually so apathetic about this sort of thing.

These guys have smart, insightful ideas.

I am just thrilled I persuaded them to embrace that.

Every day should be a non-uniform day!

Looking your best is a fundamental human right.

Just because you're at school doesn't mean

you can't look gorgeous and smell gorgeous.

Which is why we're installing grooming stations in every toilet!

Be careful what you wish for.

Every week we go out and represent the school.

-Isn't it time the school invested in us?

-BOYS: Yeah!

New kits, new goal nets and new training gear!

BOYS: Yeah!

Food! At the end of the day, what's more important?

Nothing! And what say do we get in it?

Exactly! None!

Something that important can't be picked and chosen at random,

which is why I propose

you should set the menu in the school canteen!

GIRLS: Yeah!

Every pupil has a right to privacy on school property.

No more taking pictures on mobiles!

No more social networking!

Let's get a grip on this privacy problem.

That's exactly what I'm talking about!

Very admirable, Maddy.

But maybe a bit too cerebral.

It's a matter of principle, sir.

And what are you proposing?

We ban all mobiles and computers in schools?

That's not going to get you many votes.

Take a leaf out of their book.

Tuck shop.

Now that's what you call targeted campaigning.

Maddy, this is a bad idea.

If the high ground doesn't work, take the low ground.

But you're the one campaigning for more privacy!

I need to win first.

Look, Jana's only been here five minutes.

We're just reminding everyone of the facts.

Maddy!

Take it as a compliment.

We've got her rattled.

As your new girl, Jana is not in any cliques.

She does not belong to one club or another.

She is for all of you!

We can all unite behind Jana, the new broom.

-Broom?

-It's a metaphor.

What?

Sweeping out the old and welcoming the new!

You want change?

Unite behind Jana!

It's conviction politics!

It's mud slinging!

And that's censorship!

This isn't a dictatorship, sir!

I'm surprised at you, Maddy.

Look, forget about personalities, think about policies.

That is what you've got to sell at the hustings.

You have got to think clean and you need to fight clean.

Clear.

You take the fiver, you vote for me.

-Yeah, whatever.

-I'll know if you haven't.

OK! I swear!

Isn't this a bit...?

I'm just helping those less fortunate than myself.

Isn't that why we're in politics?

-You take the fiver, you swear to vote for me.

-I swear.

-Jimi's very generous, isn't he?

-What?

That?

I...I found it on the floor.

-SIGHS:

-Cash for votes.

We're finished.

Only if we let him get away with it.

What's that?

A camera.

Inside an owl?

Oh, it was just some experiment.

But now it's a trap.

-Say something.

-Something.

You remember what to do?

I'm not going to get into trouble, am I?

Trouble? You're a hero, making the world a better place.

Are you Jimi?

Who's asking?

I'm a floating voter.

For your vote.

And that is called bribery and corruption.

-I am shocked.

-It's entrapment!

It's vote rigging. Pure and simple.

You are eliminated from the election.

Well done, Jana, and you too, Shannon. Very upstanding.

Let their integrity be an example to you all.

I hope you remember that when you cast your votes.

MADDY GROWLS Maddy...

Integrity? You?!

-You got a problem, you talk to me.

-Jimi was bribing voters!

-Two wrongs don't make a right.

-Oh, yeah? What did I do wrong?

-Spying on people with hidden cameras. Again!

-Again?

Maddy's just feeling the pressure.

-Don't take it personally.

-Sure she is.

-Again what?

-Nothing.

-It's not nothing.

-Maddy. Don't!

-Jana needs to hear this.

-Maybe she doesn't.

Yeah, she does.

Shannon's putting us all in danger. Including you!

Tell me.

Nice Shannon.

Clever Shannon.

Let's try LIAR SHANNON!

What are you talking about?

-I know everything! The laptop, the camera. Everything!

-Wait...

-You only befriend Wolfbloods to spy on us!

-No!

-You coming to watch?

-No way.

Not watching those smug freaks get up and win.

-It's just a stupid election.

-No-one actually cares.

Jana... Jana, I'd never do anything to hurt you!

You're a liar and a traitor.

Tom, make sure Jeffries doesn't come down for ten minutes.

-What's going on?

-Just do it, all right?

-Jana, you've nearly won this.

-Stay away from me!

-I've done what I promised!

-I don't want your help!

I was stupid to ever trust you.

Before I hand the floor to Maddy,

I'd like to thank you all for turning up.

But, quite frankly, I am very disappointed in the low turnout.

Why are we here?

Alibi. Heckle.

-Maddy.

-LIGHT APPLAUSE

I'm sorry if my poster campaign offended anyone,

but some candidates claim that they're doing things for you

but are they really just in it for themselves?

Others can't even be bothered to show up.

You're not a friend. You're a predator.

-I can't be locked in.

-It's all right.

-I can't!

-It's all right. Take it easy.

I NEED TO GET OUT!

All right, I'm getting help.

DOOR RATTLES

I'm just trying to open your eyes to what is really going on here.

PHONE CHIMES

Ahem.

PHONE RINGS

Some people pretend like they're on your side. Others really are.

So...er...

vote for who you trust.

-Boo!

-You're rubbish!

-Get off the stage!

Let me out!

All right, help's coming.

-The walls are closing in!

-The walls aren't moving.

The walls!

Shannon! Are you in there?

Get the door open! She's wolfing out!

What's going on?

-They've been locked in! Jana's wolfing out!

-What?

Kara?

The fact is, when you look good, you feel confident.

And when you feel confident, you study better.

So glamour is actually very educational.

-This was your plan all along.

-No!

-I wasn't planning anything.

-To see me turn!

Where have you hidden the camera?!

I haven't! I swear I haven't!

-What happened!?

-They're locked in.

-By who?

-I think...it was Jimi.

Get that key off him. Now!

-Shannon? Shannon!

-What do I do?

Just keep calm.

One minute you're at each other's throats,

the next you're walking off stage! What is going on?

-Shannon and Jana are locked in!

-Jana's panicking. She's...

-Claustrophobic.

-OK, OK. Calm down. Rhydian! Rhydian!

I'll get the caretaker. He's got a master key.

-We can't let him! He'll see Jana!

-What can we do?

If we leave her in there, she'll kill Shannon!

Please listen. I wouldn't betray my friends!

Never!

Jana, it's true! She's my friend.

-She's our friend.

-Maddy, help!

-MADDY GROWLS

-Maddy...

Help! She's turning!

Shannon. You have to get away from her. Hide behind something!

-Shannon!

-Maddy. Maddy!

-That's not one of ours.

-What do you mean?

Oh, just open it.

Girls, it's all right.

We're going to have it sorted. Just sit tight, OK?

Where's Tom?

I'll get him.

Oi! What's going on in there?

I need my bolt cutters.

We can all be more glamorous. Maybe by adding a lip gloss...

Just give me the key.

-You heard him.

-You've got it wrong.

Where's the key, Jimi?

Changing rooms. In my locker.

JANA GROWLS

JANA YELPS

Jana?

Jana?

I know you can hear me. I shouldn't have said anything.

I know you're scared...

but, please, please don't hurt her.

Yes.

She didn't put you in danger. She'd never put you in danger!

She's loyal. And she's my friend.

And she's in my pack, just like you.

And nobody hurts my pack. So, please...

..just get control of it, like I know you can.

And come back to us.

SHE HOWLS

No!

HOWLING ECHOES

Everyone, stay here!

-Maddy, the key!

-Right, give it here.

-No!

It's a girl thing.

-Why don't we keep everyone back, yeah?

-What is going on?

It's being sorted, we've got a key. Everything's fine.

All right, everyone. All right, let's go back.

There's nothing to see.

Jana!

Are you all right? Come on. Come on.

Are you OK?

Yeah. You?

If anything had happened to you...

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's over now.

She tried to eat me.

THEY LAUGH

Feeling a bit better?

-That was close.

-You're telling me.

It's all right.

I'm sorry I freaked out.

When the wolf starts in your veins, nothing controls it.

I'm really sorry.

Well...no harm done, I suppose.

It's a good job you lot aren't running the country.

Jana asked me to withdraw her candidacy...

and so did Maddy.

With Jimi's early fall from grace,

that leaves one candidate standing.

Kara.

THEY SQUEAL

-Woo!

-Woo-hoo!

I'd like to thank Katrina and Kay and everyone who...

No speeches, Kara. You haven't won an Oscar.

I only asked you up here so that I could give you this.

The School Council Pack.

-Pack?

-Yeah. Lists all the responsibilities

of the Year Group Student Representative.

LAUGHTER

Should keep you busy for a while.

APPLAUSE

-Thank you, Maddy.

-You don't have to...

-I do.

You saved me and Shannon.

So maybe I'm not meant to lead our class,

but as long as I'm in your pack, what more do I need?

Wow...thanks.

But...as pack leader...

..what are you going to do about Shannon's laptop?

Nothing.

-So you're just going to leave...

-Shannon's part of our pack too.

I was wrong not to trust her the last time.

I'll not be making the same mistake twice.

-What are you doing?!

-Where's your laptop?

-What?

-As long as she has dirt on us, we're in danger.

-We trust Shannon.

We can't just do nothing!

-Here you are, lads.

-£100!?

-They've got tickets for the match!

Got any more?

-Where is it?

-What?

-Give it back!

-I didn't take it.

-You both went behind my back?!

-Yeah. Horrible, isn't it?

They agree with her, about your laptop.

-Said they wanted to do something, maybe...

-What?

Who broke into my locker?

-You cannot let them know I'm onto them.

-Shannon!

-You've made things worse.

-You're the one that tipped me off.

Wait! Jana!

-I told you this would happen!

-What shall we do?

Someone could be going through everything. Right now!
