The Cure Wolfblood

You've got us a wild wolfblood DNA sample.

Alexander Kincaid, this is my department.

-Rhydian?

-Dad?

Come find me when you're done recruiting. Little job for you.

Your dad was a fraud. He used you.

Thanks for your help, mate.

No, no, no. You came out to have a go at me.

I've literally been cleaning up after you all day.

Could you give me more information on Segolia?

You want to work for us?

-Revising?

-No, I...

I don't understand any of this.

It's all money here, there, offshore bank accounts...

What I don't understand is that, if he's all this,

how comes I found him scrabbling about in a bin?

You think if he was that smart he would have had

some money closer to home.

Who are you, Dad?

-Do you know what Cerberus is?

-Mm-mm.

It's a wolf with three heads.

Maybe that's him, three different people in one wolf.

-I won't go to Segolia if you don't want me to.

-You should check it out.

It's just to see.

I know.

Come with us.

When I know the truth,

when I find out for sure...

..I'll think about it.

# 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. #

-Shannon, great to have you back.

-Great to be here.

-Hi, Becca.

-Come on, now, I'll show you around.

Well, we still can't get our heads around what you did

during the dark moon, can we?

-No Rhydian, then?

-No.

It was actually Tom who identified

the frequency which then registered...

Look, I should never have taken your herbal remedies.

I hope we can start over again.

Now, I'm not all for big pronouncements, but today

just might be the most significant day

in the history of the Segolia corporation.

Erm...

Who should I...?

Ah!

Man!

There are Segolia offices in over 50 countries around the world.

Most of them are bigger than this one, though -

hundreds and thousands of people.

I know it's a lot to take in, but we'll help you find your place, here.

ELEVATOR: Doors closing.

So.

This is the wild wolfblood I've heard so much about. We're honoured.

-Who are you?

-This is Victoria Sweeney, our head of security.

I think I'm capable of introducing myself.

The first thing the wolfblood learns in Segolia

is not to act like a wolfblood.

Can't have the humans running for the hills.

-I've already told her.

-Well, I'm telling her again.

So don't draw any attention to yourself...

..or I'll hold you responsible.

Ignore her, she's like that with everyone.

Oh, I'm freezing.

There's not one of us hasn't made a right pranny

of himself at some time or other, son.

You're looking to make a good impression, are you?

-Sorry, I shouldn't laugh.

-Just wasting my time, anyway,

they're only interested in the other two.

What is this place?

Head of security is putting in some new servers,

keeping even more tabs on us.

Come on, in here.

Here you are. Get yourself in front of that and you'll soon dry off.

Thanks.

Right, I'll come back when you're ready

and take you up to meet the lasses.

Don't bother. They don't want me,

I'm not a scientist or a wolfblood.

-A wolf what?

-A...

Oh, sort of like a nickname for a kid who is...

-..who's a bit keen.

-Ah. Right.

I'll get you when they're finished, there's a telly there.

-Thanks.

-Oh, and...

Keep your head down.

You're not really meant to be up here

and I don't want to get dragged up in front the Sweeney.

Oh, no.

Head of security.

You'll have probably noticed I'm a bit of a peg leg.

It's all right, you're allowed to admit that you've noticed

I've got a limp.

OK, a bit.

I was born with a degenerative disease for which -

really, really annoyingly - there is no cure.

Which brings me to that cheese and pepperoni number

that you snaffled off your friend Jana.

That could well end up becoming the most significant

-piece of pizza in history.

-It was the breakthrough we needed.

We used her DNA to synthesise a serum.

To repair and rebuild damaged cells?

Well, either that, or it will bring on a slow and agonising death.

Wait, you're testing this on yourself?

I can't risk it on anyone else, not that I think there is much of a risk.

HE SIGHS

Cross your fingers.

How many of the humans in here know about you?

None.

There's one on the next for up and a couple on the floor above that,

but we're the most important people Segolia has.

And there's never been a wild wolfblood here before, so,

believe me, you'll be a pretty big deal.

What about Gerwyn, Rhydian's dad? He was wild.

He seemed more human than most.

You can't compare yourself to him.

It's important to protect the wild wolfblood ways.

No-one is in a better position to do that than Segolia.

-What does she want now?

-Come with me.

-Why?

-I was supposed to be giving Jana a tour.

-It can wait.

-It's OK.

-This way.

Sit down.

Hold your hand out.

OK then, wild one.

Let's see you use your Eolas, your Ansin.

Tell me what that is.

-It's a tooth.

-Ha! She's good.

HE LAUGHS

Ahem.

I want the story.

Where did it come from?

What's wrong?

Don't tell me your powers have deserted you.

I can't do it, it's too hard.

Or maybe Eolas and Ansin don't exist.

Maybe it's all rubbish.

They connect you to nature.

They are to use in the forests, in the wild.

Not in a man-made box.

I can't believe it!

Might only be one bloke walking around in a room,

but I haven't felt like this in ages.

This is great.

How...wait, it's worked already?

Yeah, I thought there'd be a little improvement, but nothing like this.

This is just the start. Think what we might be able to do -

cure blindness, deafness...help paralysed people walk again.

And all because of a cheese and pepperoni pizza.

And you.

VOICE FROM OUTSIDE: Don't even try it.

Oh, my days.

You can do this.

The tooth is from someone in your pack.

Your grandmother.

She was pack leader.

There was a fire...

In a forest.

WOLF HOWLS

Tell me more.

She was leading the pack away from the flames.

They were moving so quickly...

..so, so, so quickly.

The youngest cub

wasn't strong enough to keep up with the rest.

She decided to leave it behind, so that the pact could escape.

The cub survived.

She left you this, so that you'd always know who you were...

..but you never found your pack again.

That's all.

There will always be a place for you at Segolia.

PHONE RINGS

Yes?

OK.

I have to go.

-Did anyone see you take him?

-No, I made sure.

Get the van, we'll take him to the safe house.

What do you know about Cerberus?

Never heard of it.

Before the day is out...

SHE SNIFFS

SHE GROWLS

Did you miss me?

-What happened?

-I needed the exercise.

I have no idea what it is.

It's similar to the one Becca used on Alex.

But here's the best part, right?

So the Sweeney then asked the fella

if he knows anything about Cerberus.

-That's what they're after my dad for.

-Boom.

-Look, are you sure that's what you heard?

-100%.

-So my dad wasn't working alone?

-Or something else is going on.

Like what?

Well, she didn't want anyone to know about this prisoner, right?

Why would she do that if she had nothing to hide?

Whatever you saw Victoria do might not be as bad as it looks.

A bloke being tied up in an empty server room?

-Look, we need to tell Alex and Becca.

-What if they're involved too?

-There's no way.

-Then how do you explain this?

You just said it's the same, we can't trust anyone over there,

and even if we do trust them, the Sweeney might go after them.

Look, Victoria is head of security. She protects wolfbloods.

How do you know this guy wasn't a threat to all of us?

Well, maybe you just can't see what's staring you in the face.

What does that mean?

It means that maybe Segolia is not the great place that both of you

make it out to be and my dad is telling the truth.

Yeah, well, maybe your dad is not so innocent in all of this.

You're just making up theories to suit your own agenda.

-And so are you two.

-No, you are.

-You can't accuse me of that.

-I'm just looking at the facts.

-What facts?

Tom's just annoyed because he had an early shower.

-I trust Alex and Becca...

-That's her job...

It's not about you, Shannon, it's about my dad.

Out of the way, Tom.

This is your fault. Why do you have to stir things up, Tom?

MECHANICAL BLEEP

Whoa.

-We're sorry.

-Yeah.

It's just...

..every time something good happens,

something else comes along to ruin it.

Whoo-hoo!

I still don't think you're right about Victoria,

but I don't want to fall out over it.

Yeah!

Well, we are a pack.

Right, send it.

-Oh!

-Whoo!

-Get in!

-Cool.

-OK, superstar,

I'll give you 20 quid if you can kick this through Jeffries's window.

All right.

Unless you all want detention, I think we should go.

How are you going to get my ball back?

Just take it out of the 20 quid. Go on.

-What's going on?

-Nothing.

-Dirty BO, can you smell that?

-What else can you smell?

Well, seven different perfumes, sweaty socks,

Katrina just bleached her roots - I thought she was a natural blonde.

SPD about 15 minutes ago and...

Mmm. Savoury mince for lunch.

You took that serum, didn't you? Are you totally mad?

-It was an accident.

-Explain that.

I was messing about with the sonic screwdriver thing and then it...

It just went off.

Look, how do you do this, "It's so hard being a wolfblood,"

when it feels so good?

Tom! We have no idea what's in that serum.

-You need to get yourself to a hospital.

-And say what?

That he's turned into a wolfblood?

ECHOING VOICE: OK, I'll see you after school.

I'll have to get some more money of my dad, though.

It's all right, I'll make up some story. He always believes me.

Great.

This is so cool.

Man, you need to learn to control these powers,

you don't want to hear what everyone's saying all the time.

Yeah, all right, back off. Look, I haven't done anything wrong.

You lot. Arf!

Who are you calling?

Oh!

-What's this? New phone?

-No, it's a carrot.

-Not so fast, let me check it out a minute.

-Sam! Give me my phone back.

-You want it?

-Yes, of course I want my phone back!

Come and get it, then.

Give me my phone, I'm serious.

-There you go.

-Ta.

-It's all right.

-This a new phone?

-Yeah.

-It's nice.

-Thanks.

All right, listen.

I know it's hard for you, but try to not be such a dipstick, all right?

Now, jog on.

-What is with you today?

-Yeah, something is different.

HE SNIFFS

What's wrong?

Nothing, just a bit of a tickle.

You smell great, by the way.

Which one of us was he talking about? What perfume are you wearing?

-Britney.

-Taylor Swift, you?

Katy Perry.

-Must have been talking about me.

-Yeah, of course.

That just reminds you that we have a connection.

Taylor has clearly reminded him of what he's been missing.

But he won't be for much longer.

Seriously, something is different about him.

What is it?

It's his hair.

Whenever you're not sure, it's always the hair.

No, it's...it's his eyes.

They are more sparkly.

They've always been sparkly.

I don't care what it is, I like it being a mystery.

He's just...cool.

We've got a problem.

Let me take you to the cave after school, yeah?

-Is he ill?

-Not at the moment.

We can't exactly take him to a human doctor.

I can't get a wolfblood doctor here without Sweeney finding out.

So you are not going to help us?

I don't know how, not in secret, I'm sorry.

I knew we should have called Alex and Becca.

-What do you know about Cerberus, Dacia?

-I gave you the file.

-What, that's it? That's all you know?

-Yes.

Who gave it to you?

-Sweeney.

-Do you not get it?

My dad obviously found the connection between her and Cerberus,

whatever it is... She goes after him,

sets him up and then gives you the file

to stop me asking questions like this.

I had no reason not to believe her.

Even if you're right, I can't just come out and accuse her,

-I wouldn't last five minutes.

-Be a wolfblood.

Use a little bit of cunning - you're on the inside, we're not,

or do you like being used and manipulated?

All right. I'll see what I can find out.

So what do we do about Tom?

You're more pally with R&D than I am.

If you want to call them, call them.

Are you sure you trust her?

Are you sure you trust Whitewood more than her boss?

-Yes.

-We have to, for Tom's sake.

OK. Speak of the devil.

What's Dacia doing here?

Just had to speak to her about my dad.

Then why are you asking her about me?

We're worried about you, you need professional help.

-I'm calling Alex and Becca.

-Don't stick your nose in my business.

-There's nothing wrong with me.

-You don't know that.

-You're not calling them.

-What's your problem?

No-one likes a green-eyed monster, do they?

No problem. Not any more.

-He's on his own.

-No, he's with me, Shannon.

-You all right, yeah?

-Yeah.

Come on.

Just give me a minute, OK?

Hey!

Do you want to know something? Yeah?

I'm glad that I took it...

..because I am sick and tired of playing second fiddle

to your wolfblood dramas, your desperation to prove yourself

and your inability to cope with modern life.

-Tom...

-Don't Tom me, OK?

Tom is always the one picking up the pieces,

lying for you lot and being a shoulder to cry on

and if I'm not doing that, I might as well be invisible.

Not any more.

Yay!

Hey.

Whoa!

-You are mad!

-Sorry!

I can't believe you just did that.

You are so cool.

I'm more than a wolfblood.

CROWD: Go Tom! Go Tom!

You're not taking this off me, it's mine.

Tom is really messed up. I didn't know what else to do.

You taking him? Big risk.

Leave me alone!

I'm not afraid of Victoria Sweeney.

You leave it to me.
