The Wild at Heart Wolfblood

Why don't we follow Jana tomorrow? Find out what she does?

I'm transforming tonight.

What's wrong, Dad?

-I'm dying.

-No.

-GROWLING

-Jana, help me!

KATRINA GASPS

I want you to lead.

This is my last wish.

We've got some uninvited guests.

Come on.

-BOTH:

-Touched by fire.

Aran and Meinir told us about you.

We've never seen a wolf that's walked through fire.

My brother carried me through it.

He saved my life.

Show our guests around the camp.

I know, I know. My mum's going to kill me.

TJ, Imara may be your mum...

but she's my boss.

This is serious.

You have no idea.

Are you here to fix these people?

What's wrong with them? Is it a condition?

What's with the teeth? The eyes?

-Is it catching, what they've got? They've got...

-No.

I'll get you some painkillers for your ankle.

It is against my better judgment,

but I will apply a balm.

It will diminish swelling and heal.

What is this?

Morning Fuchsia.

Dr Whitewood!

-Don't leave me!

-Your ankle will recover.

But I can do nothing for this...

.."Morning Fuchsia" affliction.

What's wrong with you?

Is it your head? Your breathing? What?

She sounds like a human, doesn't she?

Dr Whitewood. Please help.

Alric, humans have no understanding of our traditions,

our healing.

If I am to be healed, it will be by Madoc's hand.

-But...

-Every alpha must trust in their healer.

It's our way.

You know that, Jana.

Ceri told me some of your old remedies

are even more potent than our medicines.

What are you using?

Did she not also tell you these remedies are a pack secret?

Yes, but I...

Then you'll know we do not share our healing with humans.

Leave us.

I must talk with Jana alone.

I am trusted.

Your father's life is my life.

Aran's been lost without Meinir.

Perhaps he can be found again?

Now, listen, I want you to rule...

..but I want Aran by your side.

-Father, I...

-Please!

Aran and me, I... I can't...

You'll be better soon.

Won't he?

Yes. All better soon.

Drink.

The full moon will soon be upon us.

# My heart still beats

# And my skin still feels

# My lungs still breathe

# My mind still fears

-# But we're running out of time

-Time

# There is nowhere for you to hide

# The hardest moon is shining

# I'm running with the wolves tonight

# I'm running with the wolves

# I'm running with the... #

WOLF HOWLS

ALRIC BREATHES HEAVILY

Forgive my manner, Jana.

I'm an old wolf, set in my ways.

Your father's situation is grave,

and my remedy as old as the world.

I must have clarity of mind.

No humans,

no distractions.

Form a circle.

Join hands.

-This is getting seriously weird...

-Shh!

Can't you feel it?

Feel the power of the moon...

..as it flows in your blood...

This is a rush.

Yeah. Nothing like in the city.

..and pushes and pulls us like the tides...

Its light gives us strength

and guides us...

..from our first transformation...

..to our last.

This is amazing.

Like... Like nothing else in the world.

WOLFBLOODS GROWL

What's happening?

Something incredible.

There's nothing I can say, Katrina, except...

brace yourself.

If anyone finds this,

I'm in the middle of nowhere,

with Jana's weird cult.

They're holding hands.

I think they might be witches.

Something's happening to them.

WOLVES YELP AND BARK

WOLVES HOWL

That was just...so...amazing.

Just so amazing.

We did it.

Best full moon ever.

You don't need to be scared, Katrina.

Scared?

I'm furious!

You've lied to me, for like, ever.

Since Stoneybridge - all those times, wolves in the woods...

It was you.

We mean you no harm.

Look, I know it's a lot to take in

and I'll answer any questions that you have, but my dad's ill.

Do not touch him.

You'll soon be back to your best.

The alpha we all know and love.

I suggest you all leave.

He must rest.

How is he?

Back to the car? Back to the Kafe?

We can call your dad an ambulance.

The nearest hospital is 100 miles away.

And you don't call anyone.

Dr Whitewood, my dad won't let you treat him here,

-so if I persuade him to come with us, will you wait?

-Of course.

I'd like to explore the area and collect some data, anyway.

The rest of you, go home. There's nothing keeping you here.

Oh, and Katrina?

What you've seen here stays between us.

Well, I'm not going.

We have to. My dad will be frantic.

Yeah, and my mum will murder me.

So? Jana's our alpha.

She stays, we stay.

She might need us.

She told us to go.

Dr Whitewood, can you tell them?

I need to take him to the human world.

To the human world?

He's been before.

There's a corporation called Segolia -

the ones who helped us.

They have medicines for treating wolfbloods.

"Corporation" sounds like another word for "cage".

No.

It's a pack, with scientists, doctors and all kinds of knowledge.

I carry a thousand years' of knowledge in me -

like my father, and his father's father,

the same wolves humans have hunted to extinction.

You've been tamed.

You worry and weaken your father.

The best thing you can do for him now is to go

and leave him with me.

I'm not leaving him.

The humans weaken us, and you reek of them.

What are you?

Human or wolf?

I am my father's daughter.

Then assist me.

SHE SNIFFS

This smells like nothing Ceri ever made before.

I have been doing this far longer than Ceri has.

Give it to your father.

I must go and make some more.

Jana, trust Madoc.

He is wise and true.

ALRIC WHEEZES

Whoa.

Do you make all this?

Yep. From what we find or catch.

-That is cool.

-It's amazing.

Do you want to come hunting with me?

Yeah!

I ought to stay close to Jana.

Come on, come on!

Keep her safe!

We must talk about the pack -

who should lead.

I can't think about that. Ever.

We should lead...

together.

You and me.

You can lead, if the time comes.

-Not without you.

-Aran, you're like a brother to me.

This isn't about you or me.

It's about the pack...

..and your father's wishes.

I can't, OK?

I just can't.

Seriously?

Slow your heart.

Your breath.

Be the wild wood.

SHE EXHALES

-Teach me!

-No. You can't learn.

It is in your heart, or it isn't.

Go and see.

-All in secret?

-That's why what my mum does is so important.

She keeps the secret.

You've got a painted face.

Mr Kincaid made me dress up like a human,

and he put face paint on me.

But he never showed me how to paint it on.

Will you show me? I want to look like you.

Oh, OK then.

It looks so funny. GIRLS GIGGLE

# Where is the wolf?

# I'm crouching in the brook

# You won't see me

-# However how hard you... #

-MADOC SNIFFS

..look.

Boo!

You have learned much in the short time you've been here.

I have. Are you gathering medicines to cure Alric?

Yes.

Yes, comfrey for fever,

mandrake for restfulness...

DR WHITEWOOD: Emilia?

Madoc.

I know your traditions,

but we're both healers.

Perhaps we could share our knowledge?

-Healer to healer?

-"Healer"?

When I look at you,

all I see are the ghosts of wolves who will never howl again.

It's comfrey and mandrake.

That doesn't look like comfrey.

We have plants here that grow nowhere else.

See for yourself.

This is hemlock. It's poisonous.

Emilia, go back to camp.

You know nothing of the wild.

Come here, child, away from the human.

You have corrupted this poor cub.

Look at her - burned, twisted...

..human.

-I'm a wolfblood!

-Silence!

When you forsake wolves for humans,

you miss out on our strengths,

our traditions,

our history...

..our stories.

Do you know the story of the curious little cub?

Leave us alone.

Do you know what happened to that curious little cub?

-Nobody does!

-EMILIA SCREAMS

Help!

Help!

Please...

..don't die. JANA WEEPS

Jana.

-I've no more medicine.

-Here. Mix these, quickly.

Jana. Your father talked of me leading the pack

if anything happened to him.

Just for a short time.

Until you and Aran are ready.

Keep mixing.

It is for the best -

for the pack...

for you.

Yes?

Keep mixing,

then give it to your father,

before it's too late.

I will gather the pack.

I don't care about tradition.

I'm getting Dr Whitewood.

Help!

TJ! Katrina! Where's Dr Whitewood?

-Jana?

-Stay there.

Gather!

Everyone!

Where's my sister?

-In the forest.

-Alone?

It's best that way.

Help!

Help!

Alric has passed leadership of the pack to me.

No!

-Jana would never...

-She has already agreed!

In front of her father.

ARAN GROWLS

Look at him.

Not even half a wolf.

No-one supports you.

Know your place.

Emilia! Emilia!

I can't...

I don't think I can hold on much longer.

Matei! Help!

-Help!

-Help!

Help!

THEY SCREAM

Help! Help!

Emilia!

JANA: Dr Whitewood! Dr Whitewood!

Hold my hands!

Come on! Come on!

Madoc.

-What?

-It was Madoc.

MADOC GROWLS

Swear allegiance to me.

Now! Swear!

Stop!

JANA GROWLS

He's been poisoning my father.

Lies! From the mouth of a tame, more human than wolf!

-He tried to kill us!

-This is hemlock!

This is what he's been giving my father!

-PACK GROWLS

-You traitor!

Alric's illness began after you arrived!

MADOC SNARLS

Let him go.

He won't come back.

I trusted him.

-I'm a fool.

-No.

Trust is everything.

Those that betray that trust, they're the fools.

They'll always end up alone.

It will take a few days for the poison to leave your body,

but the medicine I've given you will help.

Thank you.

Will you please stay?

I can't.

There's something more for me, back in the city.

I can feel it calling.

I have to go back.

Our packs are now joined.

You are always welcome here.

Jana.

I am so proud of you.

Out into the world...

..never losing your wild heart.

You are destined for something beyond the wild wood and the city.

I feel it too.

I'll be back soon, I promise.

You're going to be a great alpha...

..and a good partner,

for the right wolf.

You keep it, sweetie.

Thank you.

And if you ever want to visit, then...

I'm not going.

I want to stay here.

What?

This is home.

What are you on about?

I'm part of this place.

It's in my heart.

It's where I belong.

What about my heart?

You will always be with me, Matei.

You don't have to look after me any more.

You can be free...

..live your life in the city.

Tell her.

If Emilia is drawn to this place,

then she should stay here.

Let her try it.

It doesn't have to be for ever.

We'll watch over her.

If she's not happy,

I'll bring her back.

Hey.

You walked through fire for me.

And I'd do it again.

Every time.

This isn't goodbye.

Never goodbye.

Ever.

What is going on?

You knew about this and you didn't tell me?

What have you done?

I can buy enough time for TJ to get away.

It's over here for us, now.

They're coming for you next, aren't they?
