The Dark Ages Wolfblood

-No, you're not...

-Rhydian!

-Dad?

-I want you back in my life. Both of you.

-You're not welcome here.

Is that true? About Jana staying at Maddie's place?

GROWLING

A pack with no leader has no centre, no direction.

They need to know I'm alive and returning soon.

I don't like her going back without us.

SNIFFING

GROWLING

'Trina!

How come we're doing all the work?!

Coming!

The same goes for you two! We're closing.

Whose birthday is it anyway?

They're going away presents,

for Jana and her mum. They're moving on tomorrow.

Would you like a list of what we've bought, so you can go tell Jeffries?

Is she OK?

She's fine. Happy to be going back to her pack.

Back on the road.

So, no harm done, right?

Look what I found in the attic! Bernie's old toy box!

You're kidding.

-Look at this!

-I hear you get a lot of money for old toys.

Not in this state.

Is this bone?

Looks like it.

-Ew!

-I think this is, too.

Put it down, you'll catch something.

It's got a dog on.

Did they have Alsatians in those days?

Here's the good stuff!

This has a dog on, too.

# The promise that I keep, I'll never share, I'll never speak

# To my grave the secret goes

# The beating heart, the beating heart

# Where mystic creatures wandered far

# Through these veins a wolfblood flows

# Through these veins a wolfblood flows. #

-Are they medieval or something?

-Could be older.

So, they are valuable, then?

Could be worth a fortune.

Well, the bits of bone aren't, but the jewels and accessories are.

Look, we don't know if it's genuine yet.

You need to take these to someone who knows their history.

-Jeffries.

-It's beautiful.

Don't do that, it's fragile!

-Give it here.

-No, seriously.

We can sell it for loads.

Perfect!

-Doesn't mean you get to keep it.

-I know.

If we sold it, think what we could buy.

It's stuck. I can't get it off.

Ow... Katrina!

-Just put it under cold water.

-Use oil or butter.

GASPS

-Kay!

-You've ruined it!

-I can't even look at you.

-Just get out!

Told you.

Hey.

Thanks.

They didn't mean it.

I don't care if they meant it or not. I'm sick of this place.

Katrina's all about the Kafe, Kara's talking Uni.

-Where does that leave me?

-Yeah.

-Sorry, dumping all this on you.

-That's all right.

You coming back inside?

Nah, I'm going to head home. They'll be fine in the morning.

-I'll see you tomorrow.

-See you later.

Tom?!

There you are. Come on, we're late.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

What is this? Call this music?

You are such a grown-up.

It's fun!

Sounds like something dying.

I don't see why we celebrate leaving those we love.

You and me, our story is nothing but goodbyes.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

-Presents!

-Yaaaay!

No, you don't! These get opened when you're back with the pack.

That means you, too!

Where have you been?

At the Kafe. Ceri, Jana, you should see these.

Katrina found them in her attic.

There was jewellery too, and it looked really old.

Katrina wasn't interested in these, said I could have them.

This is agenspraec. An old wolfblood language.

This inscription is a memorial to an alpha killed in battle with

a human tribe, the Saesons.

The Saesons?

The Saxons!

From the Dark Ages?

Dark? That was our time. Wolfblood kingdoms were rich and powerful.

Only the strong survived - and our tribes were the strongest of all.

Wolfblood tribes lived alongside Vikings and Saxons?

People called the Vikings "the wolves of the North."

Maybe they actually were!

And look, there's more.

Who has these?

Katrina. She's taking them in to show Jeffries.

-She can't do that.

-Why not?

-They're ours.

-We still honour the time when we ruled

and protected much of this land.

These are pieces of our lost history.

And we're not leaving until we get them back.

You can't just steal them!

Steal them? It's our history.

It's everyone's history! These belong in a museum.

Locked in a glass case?

It's not just about the past to us, Shannon.

And I'm not leaving Stoneybridge without these fangs.

Well, I've been to better parties.

I'll speak to her. Maybe you should leave.

-Sorry.

-You're not going to let her do this, are you?

If she gets caught breaking into the Kafe...

MOBILE RINGS

No-one's breaking in anywhere. I'll deal with Jana.

Tom?

The pack would love this.

-You'd be a hero.

-Instead of a clown.

Don't be silly.

You think I'm right, don't you?

You can't go breaking into the Kafe.

Katrina's probably taken it all home, anyway.

But Shannon said she was going to show Jeffries.

We've got to do something.

-Want a go?

-In these shoes?

You just have to use the top of the foot.

Like this...

See? Go on.

-No, the top of your foot.

-I'll try again.

Oh!

I'll go get the shoe.

Hi!

Look, you...

don't need them.

I don't?

Plus, you've got me to talk to, anyway.

-What about Shannon?

-What about Shannon?

I know you broke up, but you're still close.

Yeah, not like that.

First Harry, now you.

She doesn't know a good bloke when she's got one.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

In your attic?

Yes, sir. In this box.

This is extraordinary.

We'll need an expert opinion,

but these look very much to me like genuine Saxon or Viking jewellery.

These could be 1,300 or 1,400 years old.

-Don't you know which, sir?

-No, I don't.

It was pretty difficult to get a handle on things in those days.

But what really fascinates me is this wolf.

It's an Alsatian.

No, Katrina, it's not.

I don't think Alsatians were feared or venerated in those days.

Sir? You are going to make sure these go to a museum, right?

I found them, it's up to me!

Katrina, why don't you leave them with me?

I'd like to do some research,

and we'll pick this up in History this afternoon.

-OK.

-Great. It's a pity we don't know where they're from.

Communities would often bury their valuables just before a battle,

and unfortunately they wouldn't live to dig them up.

Are you saying there could be more?

What? Like, buried treasure?

In Stoneybridge?

If you need help clearing out your attic...

Back off, Indiana Jones! My attic - my treasure!

All right. That's enough!

Right now we don't know what could be out there.

Let's see what I can find by this afternoon.

Come on, Jimi! Come on, Jimi! Come on!

See you later, loser!

Loser! Loser!

-You all right?

-Just got a stitch.

-You?!

Keep going girls, I'll be right behind you!

I should get 50% of the profits.

It's my attic, I found them.

It's Bernie's attic.

1066, how do we know what happened there? The Bayeux...

-Tapestry?

-Tapestry! There we go, the Bayeux Tapestry.

Rhydian! I know you're in there!

Rhydian!

Rhydian!

Shush!

What are you doing?

I knew you were up to something!

It's wolfblood history, OK? It belongs with the wild pack.

Yeah, but Britain's history is important too.

-And if the secret comes out one day...

-Shush!

Maybe proving that your history is our history might help.

Do you think Katrina's going to donate them to a museum?

She'll sell it to the highest bidder. They could even go abroad.

Mr Jeffries?

You're a little lost, aren't you?

Sorry, sir, we were bunking off cross-country.

In my office?

-We were...

-It was my fault, sir. I wanted another look at those finds.

-But they weren't there.

-That's because I put them in my safe!

You didn't know I had a safe, did you?

What? Everyone knows you have...

..a way of making things disappear.

Look, I have a class to teach.

-I need to borrow one of your cameras from the dark room.

-Of course, sir.

And, er, lunchtime detention.

Let me handle that for you, Mr Jeffries.

-Are you sure, Miss Graham?

-I'm looking forward to it.

Pick it up, you two!

-Ugh!

-This is your fault.

It's Jana's. She's talked you into this.

-She hasn't even gone, has she?

-You don't understand.

She's having a tough time getting the pack to accept her as leader.

-So?

-So, a find like this could make all the difference.

If she returns with those wolfblood artefacts, they'll take it as sign.

Think that she's connected to their ancient past and the ways of old.

-Shannon! Pick it up!

-Ugh!

What is it with you and that box?

I like it.

You like Bernie's box, don't you? "It's my home!"

Katrina, you're embarrassing me.

I like rummaging.

School report.

Listen.

I think we need to keep an eye on Shannon and Rhydian.

-Where?

-They were caught in Jeffries office. The bling's in there!

-Are they dating?

-No. I think she's after our accessories.

Revenge. Cos we shouted at her.

-When?

-Last night.

-Did we?

Honestly, Kara, you have a brain like a sieve.

-Look at this.

-What?

It's in Bernie's diary, sir. Right here.

The Witch's Finger. That's where he found our accessories.

-They were in the mud.

-This is a real discovery. Well done, girls.

And you really think there's more bling up there?

It's a slim possibility. But it's not bling.

-Ancient bling. So, this stays just between us three, right?

-Sorry?

If you tell anyone, they'll go rushing up there.

And what, you two won't?

Obviously, I don't want clumsy treasure-hunters trampling

a rare archaeological site, but knowledge is for everyone.

We can't keep this to ourselves.

We don't know much about this tribe,

but according to local legend, there were ghost warriors with

glowing eyes keeping watch over their treasure.

But thanks to some sterling detective work

from Katrina and Kara,

we could be on the verge of some real discoveries.

It seems that these artefacts...

Accessories.

..were found nearly 40 years ago, just by...

Pulbrook Moor!

-No it wasn't.

-Girls, please...

It's the Witch's Finger!

That stone near Black Tarn Woods.

The treasure, it's buried there?

If there is any.

-I'm sorry.

-There's only one way to find out.

Who wants to come and survey the site with me?

Put your hand up.

Say, tomorrow morning?

I'm working at the Kafe tomorrow,

anyway, we never volunteer for anything!

That's like our only rule. That, and never wear polyester.

It's an alibi, 'Trina! We say we're going tomorrow.

But we're actually going tonight?

Before anyone else gets there and steals all the treasure.

Go home, get spades and stuff, I'll meet you there ASAP.

I kind of miss her.

Yeah, me too. And we need all the help we can get.

Exactly.

Have you seen Tom?

-No. Have you seen Kay?

-No.

TWO MOBILES RINGING

Is this...? Are you...?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

What do you care? You're not even talking to me!

Actually, we came to apologise!

-Yeah. Wasn't your fault the ring got broken.

-Yes, it was.

-We were just being greedy and stupid.

-Yeah, you were.

-So, are we friends again?

-What was it you came to say?

BOTH: Sorry.

OK.

Come on! We have to beat Jimi to the Witch's Finger!

Sorry, but you'll have to tell me about it tomorrow.

Because tonight, I'm going on a date.

Well, don't think you're getting any share of the profits, then.

She wasn't anyway!

Have a great time.

Did you get them?

No, sorry.

But there could be more. A lot more.

-At Katrina's?

-Follow me.

There's the Witch's Finger!

MOANING

What was that?

Just a bird or something.

It's really cold down here. Like, weird cold.

Yeah. I don't like this place.

You don't think the legend could be true, do you?

There's no such thing as ghost warriors.

-LOUDER MOANING

-What's that?

Aaaah! Ha-ha-ha!

You pair of planks! Oh, your faces.

C'mon, I was just having a laugh!

Ha-ha(!) Now where do we dig?

Nowhere! You are not digging up that treasure!

Great, Little Miss History Swot's here!

-Careful where you are putting...

-I've got a stone in my boot.

Well, just be careful...

SCREAMING

I hate this place!

Well, push off then! Cos we were here first!

No, you push off! Katrina found the accessories, so the treasure's ours!

What treasure? You don't even know where to look!

This isn't a prize in a raffle!

OK. Who thinks we should join forces long enough to get rid of Shannon?

WHISPERING

Ghost warriors! Aaaah!

You don't believe that rubbish, do you?

EERIE LAUGHTER

It's just another trick, right?

STRANGE WHISPERING

-There is no such thing as ghosts.

-You don't know that.

EERIE WHISPERING

ROARING

THEY SCREAM

LAUGHING

I had no idea the Ks could run that fast!

-You all right?

-Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

I suppose you've come to stop us.

I'd rather you found this treasure than them.

At least you respect it's meaning.

The question is, where is it? If it's anywhere.

Rydym yn dod i anrhydeddu atgof ein cyndeidiau.

I ddod a'u bywydau i'r goleuni eto.

Dengys y ffordd.

Rydym yn dod i anrhydeddu atgof ein cyndeidiau.

I ddod a'u bywydau i'r goleuni eto.

Dengys y ffordd!

There!

This is the Battle of Badon Hill.

I don't know what human history says, but our tribes fought

together on this day - human and wolfblood, side by side.

I know this story. It's Faolan and the Enchanted Wood.

My father told it to me.

Now I understand its power.

This is the traditional emblem of a pack leader.

You should wear this on our return.

SNIFFING

-What is it?

-Aran. It's Aran.

Aran, what are you doing here?

-They've gone.

-Gone?

I searched the territory. Nothing. Not even a scent.

You don't think...?

Meinir. We left her with the pack for too long.

-She's taken over.

-I told you we should leave, but you wanted to stay

-Jana?

-Don't.

If they were happy with my leadership,

-they'd never have followed with her.

-You don't know what she said.

-You were badly injured - she might have even said you were dead.

-No!

This is what she always wanted. Even her own brother knows it.

Put this with the rest.

It is yours.

I'm not pack leader anymore.

It is yours.

Aran. Ceri.

I set you free from your obligations.

Stay or go as you please.

Is everything all right?

Take all this to your museum.

No, you should have it.

For what? I have no pack, no authority. No home.

This is my life now.

KNOCKING

My sister's betrayal has tainted me.

I must find her and call her to account for her crimes.

I don't ask you to do that.

I must do so all the same.

Wait until morning. We will talk then.

I have a hard trail to find. Stay well and happy, Jana.

You will always be my alpha.

Be Rhydian's mother for a change and stop telling me what to do!

She's got the morwal in her, she's going to go hunting,

and I don't mean for food.

This is where you get your horror stories about werewolves.

You've hardly been back three days

and I'm already contemplating suspension.

Leave her alone, Kay. She stood up for our friend.

That's Jana in there Shan, and you know it is.
