Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Wolfblood

You know, these could be 13 or 1,400 years old.

These are pieces of our lost history.

I'm not leaving Stoneybridge without these finds!

Tonight...

I'm going on a date.

SNARL

THEY SCREAM

They've gone.

They've gone?

I searched the territory. Not even a scent.

I have no pack, no authority...

no home.

This is my life now.

'Meinir, we left her with the pack too long.'

'I told you we should leave.

'But you wanted to stay.'

'What happens when you forget the old ways?'

'She is destroying our culture -

'who we are!'

What are you doing, cariad?

-Going to school.

-On full moon?

Why not? Rhydian's going, isn't he?

-Yes, but he's not a...

-What?

A morwal?

I heard you talking last night.

Meinir took your pack.

A Wolfblood cannot bury that kind of pain.

I'm not going to wolf out in school, if that's what you mean.

-Listen to me, cariad.

-Stop calling me that!

You're not my mother.

I'm your Alpha.

I've been abandoned, too.

If you cannot stay home for your own sake,

then stay for mine.

Please?

You want to stay?

Well, get a job.

Unless you want us to live in the dark.

I don't know how to get a job.

Then leave, like the rest of them.

Be Rhydian's mother for a change,

and stop telling me what to do!

# 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

# Of mystic creatures wandered far

# Through these veins a wolfblood flows

# Through these veins a wolfblood flows. #

That cash could have been ours if you two hadn't run off.

Don't blame me. Shannon must have conned us.

If we hadn't gone out,

that'd be our picture in the paper.

Yeah, but if your picture was in the paper,

no-one would be looking at the treasure, would they?

Katrina, you've got a face like a school dinner.

Stop spoiling the photo, it's only money.

It's not that.

Tallulah Pallulah ate the sofa,

and Mum said she's going to put her in a dog's home

if I can't train her.

Oh, well.

At least I won't have to buy a new pair of shoes every time I come over.

HE SNIFFS

-Get off me.

-You shouldn't be here.

-I'm fine.

-Do you know how dangerous this is?

You don't get to lock me in a cage!

-I thought we agreed you were going to stay at home.

-No, you and Ceri agreed!

Keep your voice down.

Or what?

Ladies and gentlemen,

a round of applause,

for this generous contribution to the school!

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Back to your classes now, please.

-Quietly!

-JANA SNARLS

I'll be along in a minute.

Do you fancy her or something?

What?

No!

I thought Jana was staying at home.

So did I.

Look, if she wants to be here...

It's not about what she wants, OK?

The pull of the moon is too strong for her this month.

Her scent's changed.

She's got the morwal in her.

The what?

The wolf inside.

It's not Jana's.

Not the one that we know, anyway.

Well, I don't get it. Explain?

When a Wolfblood is really hurting,

in pain, they change at the full moon.

We need to lock her in the den tonight,

otherwise she's going to go hunting,

and I don't mean for food.

This is where you get your horror stories about "werewolves".

I don't believe that.

It's still Jana, right?

It's Jana, but it's the morwal too.

She doesn't know the difference.

We need to get her out of school, and into the den.

OK.

It's a waste!

My dad could have flogged that old tat for thousands.

Jana, please.

Tell Mr Jeffries you're ill, and go home.

You can't tell me what to do.

You're not my Alpha.

We just want you to be safe.

Scared of the big bad wolf, Shannon?

So what if I am?

-I care about you.

-We're your friends.

Your pack.

I'm not your Alpha. Your fear's not my problem.

And I'm done pretending to be someone I'm not.

That's the morwal talking, not you.

Call it what you like.

Right, you lot! Settle down.

Now, I guess you'll all be wondering...

..where that money's going.

-Seeing as Jimi here has been whingeing for the last...

-MR JEFFRIES YAWNS

..three years, about the lack of sports facilities,

you will be pleased to know,

that the whole lot is going on...

-gym equipment.

-Get in!

Hey, That's not fair!

Yeah. Sir, I found those accessories!

Take it up with the school governors, Katrina.

Now, Jana.

Work experience. Have you found anywhere?

-No, sir.

-Does anyone have any suggestions?

Charity shop?

JIMI CHUCKLES

It's not about what things look like.

It's about using form and colour to express how you feel.

A nice contradiction, Kay.

A romantic idyll...

with crocodiles.

Er, they're ducks.

Oh.

Guilty conscience, Tom?

Oi!

What is your problem?

Jana's my friend, and she's having a bad time, that's it.

Well, now I am too.

That's, um...

No wonder your mother's giving that dog away.

Leave her alone, Jimi.

Is it some sort of mongrel, or genetic mutation?

-Get lost!

-You're not being funny.

If I was her, I'd have it put down.

SHE GASPS

JIMI LAUGHS

What are you doing?

Stop it! What are you doing?

Stop it, Jana!

Stop that! Stop it now!!

You've hardly been back for three days, and I'm already contemplating suspension.

But that's not really going to help you catch up with your school work, is it?

You're in detention, every single night,

until I am satisfied...

-Is that a tattoo on your neck?

-Um... DOOR OPENS

Don't come in without knocking!

Sorry, sir, but we thought you'd want to hear the full story.

What story?

Jimi's been bullying Katrina, sir. He ruined her painting.

Jana was just sticking up for the underdog.

Yeah, Tallulah Pallulah.

You, Katrina.

I'm not a dog.

We think Jimi should get punished, not Jana, sir.

Well, I applaud your loyalty to a fellow pupil...

-BOTH: Thanks, sir.

-..and in return for supporting her,

you both have the honour of joining her

in detention tonight.

-For what?!

-Sir!

Barging in without knocking!

And what about Jimi?

Oh, he'll be joining you too.

Now get out, all of you.

And if that is a tattoo...

Um...paint, sir.

I wiped it off.

Please, just organise your work experience.

Er, already sorted, sir.

She's doing it at the Kafe.

You didn't have to do that.

You didn't have to stick up for Tallulah Pallulah.

I can't even defend my own dog.

If she's your dog, then just tell your mum that you're not letting her go.

She's in charge.

Dad won't have Tallulah in the house any more.

You're being pathetic.

Where are we going?

Come on.

I am widely travelled.

I have experiences of many diverse cultures.

Tallulah, heel!

Hello!

I'm Ceri.

-Sit. Sit.

-DOG BARKS

My daughter's in school with your daughter.

Oh. Go in, take a seat, I'll just be a sec. Now, stop it, Tallulah!

I am well travelled, I'm self-sufficient,

-with diverse experiences...

-SHE SNIFFS

Rabbits?

-Oh!

-DOG SNARLS

-Ooh!

-SHE GROANS

She's out of control. Katrina's going to kill me.

I can get her.

What? No, no, it's... No!

She's not getting away with this.

Want my advice, mate?

Let it go. She's not all there.

She does this, and I get detention?

-No, I don't think so.

-SAM LAUGHS

What are you laughing at?

HE LAUGHS

Delete that.

-Too late, mate. I think it's gone viral!

-SAM CHUCKLES

All right, Jimi?

No.

It's not all right. Your mad friend is going to pay for this.

Send me the cleaning bill.

I'm not talking about money.

Jimi, if you do anything else,

things are only going to get worse for you.

Trust me.

You're threatening me, now?

No.

Look, we're...

just looking out for you, OK?

Jana's...

..not like normal girls.

Jana's crazy.

It's a bit...

Scary?

-In a good way.

-Scary's good.

People don't mess with you.

Try it.

What are you?

-Top dog.

-And Tallulah?

My pack.

And what does top dog never do?

Abandon her pack.

What are you looking at?

Um, nothing. I just wanted to see you.

Well, I'm busy.

I know everyone thinks that Shannon's all so clever, Kara,

but so are you.

Time you stepped out of her shadow.

You get around.

Leave her alone, Kay.

She stood up for our friend.

You didn't.

She's after my boyfriend.

No, I'm not.

Then what's this "bad time" he's supposedly helping you with?

Didn't think that was your little secret, did you?

If you don't trust Tom, that's your problem, not mine.

They've adopted her to spite me for going out with you.

Look, you're wrong.

If anything, she's adopted them.

To spite you for going out with me?

Will you stop being so paranoid?

Look, friends should be friends whoever they go out with.

Maybe that's what this is all about.

The Ks?

Finding a new pack to lead.

DOG BARKS

CERI BARKS

You...will do...as you're told.

What?

I just wanted to say sorry,

for earlier, and to you guys, for not being there.

Kay?

Er, not here.

Chill out, Jana. You're not in charge.

Kay, sit here.

-Guess where I'm going for work experience?

-Where?

Segolia!

THEY GIGGLE

What's wrong?

This food is disgusting.

I haven't applied yet, but I'm sure I'll get it.

It was Jana's idea.

Um, Jana's working at the Kafe, with you, Tom and Rhydian.

What?

I'm not serving people.

Um, what's wrong with serving people?

Who cares?

I'm not working at the Kafe if she's there.

Well, I wouldn't spend a day serving dirt like this to people like you.

Jana.

-It's cool, just chill.

-Don't defend her!

No wonder you're all pathetic!

You're pumped full of this!

Hey, you!

I wouldn't feed this to a dog!

I'm making a stand here, for all of us.

We want real meat not this slime!

KAY SCREAMS

THEY GASP

Jana!

-RHYDIAN GROANS

-I knew this was going to happen.

Jana, come back here!

Jana!

I'll get her, sir.

JANA GROWLS

Get off!

Jana!

Jana!

Jana, calm down, it's all right.

No, it's not all right!

SHE SOBS

What's happening to me?

SHE SOBS

You were right.

I can't control it.

Only this full moon, because of what happened.

This isn't me.

It's like another wolf has taken over.

Am I evil?

No, just in pain.

I thought I'd won them over.

The pack were on my side.

But they hated me.

I failed them.

No, Jana.

They failed you.

Lock me in the den tonight.

Promise me you'll do that.

I promise.

Come on.

I tried to get a job,

but I didn't.

I'm sorry, Ceri.

I owe you everything.

Cariad...

..and my beautiful boy.

DOG BARKS

Let me introduce you to Tallulah Pallulah.

So you really think there's something going on between her and Tom?

I don't know.

He's just so protective of her,

and he's not like that with me.

You don't need protecting.

Me and Tom, going out...

doesn't change us, right?

Of course not.

The Ks are back where we belong.

Where did you find her?

In the woods.

Walk, don't run.

Sit.

She says she's sorry.

Why didn't you say you were a dog trainer?

I'm not.

Dog whisperer.

Same thing, really.

What are your rates?

See, Mum's new boyfriend...

-Gerwyn.

-The one you met? He left us.

With his brother, who stole Mum's money.

-She was such a state.

-And I just can't cope.

-Well, look - should I call the police?

-No!

-No, no, no.

-No.

No. Er, she'd go crazy if she knew that I told, and...

-Your mother picks some real diamonds, doesn't she?

-Mmm-hmm.

This doesn't let you escape from detention, though.

-No, sir.

-All right, off you go.

-Sir.

And Rhydian, thanks for bringing her back.

It's good to know that Jana's got a friend.

Er... I've got more than one, sir.

Hmm. She hasn't.

Er...

It's OK, I'll get the keys to the kitchen. Sh.

I owe you all an apology.

I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused.

Whatever.

Water under the bridge.

Joining us tonight, Kay?

No, sir.

See you later.

By the way, Katrina, you can keep your dog.

What?

My mum's training it. She's as good as gold now.

Seriously?

And I'm sorry for what I said.

I'd love to work for you if you'll still have me.

Right, I want this lot finished by six tonight.

Maybe she stood you up.

Yeah.

TOM SIGHS

You know, she thought me and Jana had a thing?

SHANNON CHUCKLES

-Probably teaching me a lesson.

-Hmm.

Thank you for working quietly.

I will see you all tomorrow.

I can't do this.

-Katrina!

-She saved my dog.

Her mother saved your dog. There's a difference.

Yeah. She deserves all she gets.

You do it, then.

I'm going to see Tallulah Pallulah.

Jana?

Wait a sec.

We just wanted to say, we really appreciate your apology.

Yeah.

The only thing is...

Mrs Harries? The dinner lady?

Kay said, she's really upset.

She's thinking about quitting.

I'll see her tomorrow.

No, but, she's here now. She's cleaning up -

she's always the last to leave.

She's been here years. You owe it to her.

Where is she?

Where she always is.

She's crying, talking about resigning.

KARA GASPS

What's she done, Kay?

THEY GASP

Hey!

JANA GROWLS

Let me out! Let me out!

You think a few words are going to make up for what you did?!

Yeah, you're not coming between me and my boyfriend, Jana.

-You got off easy!

-Don't worry. We won't leave you in there all night.

You don't know what you're doing!

Oh, I think we do.

JANA GROWLS

Tallulah Pallulah!

Hello!

She's so well behaved.

Jana's mum do this?

And she's coming once a week, to train her up.

You haven't seen Kay, have you?

SHE SIGHS

She said she'd come straight home.

I'll catch you up.

PHONE RINGS

Tom?

Yeah, you won't believe what Katrina just told me.

JANA GROWLS BETWEEN BREATHS

PLATES CRASH

Learned your lesson yet?

Say sorry now, and we'll give you a slice of pizza.

It's meaty!

Oh, no!

We're too late!

Right - make sure she stays in there.

Remember, it's not Jana's wolf!

Is that "sorry" I heard?!

JANA GROWLS

WOLF GROWLS

Is she...growling?

Just open the door.

Stop!

You can't let her out yet!

She hasn't... She hasn't learned her lesson yet.

You're not the only one she's abused.

We'll take over from here.

It's all right, I'll stay with you.

You can't.

Why?

Well...

You want to be alone with her, don't you?

No, I just don't want to be alone with you.

-What?

-We're done.

-Why?

-Just because.

OK?

You'll pay for this, Tom Okinawe.

Classy, mate.

Real classy.

Sorry, Tom.

So, what do we do?

Wait, what are you doing!?

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

I'm not going to leave her on her own.

It's the morwal. You heard what Rhydian said.

She's scared.

Maybe humans can do what wolfbloods can't.

I can't see her.

Since when have you done anything stupid without me?

OBJECTS CLATTER

Stay with me, Tom.

CLANG

METAL SCRAPES

WOLF GROWLS

Jana?

It's all right.

It's only us.

It's OK.

We're here for you.

Like we said.

WOLF SNARLS

WOLF SNARLS

WOLF GROWLS

GROWLS INTENSIFY

Your friends don't know you're here, do they?

I wanted to tell them.

I'm not going in there on my own!

What is this place?

-Rhydian?

-Come on!

I need a word with Rhydian.

Why's that?

Oh, It's Ollie. He never showed up for school.

BOY YELPS

Your eyes!

Ollie!
