Into the Wild Wolfblood

Being wolf is the best thing in the world.

It's who we are and you can't stop us.

I would never leave the house if I looked like her.

We should go to the woods one night and wolf out.

I can't.

-Can't?

-Can't.

We should stay here forever.

As wolves living wild.

-Do you have a fever?

-Honest, Mum, nothing.

Then you won't be transforming tonight then will you?

You are a cerddwyr tan.

A what?

A firewalker.

I'm not going to make it to Norway, am I?

What's wrong with me?

Looks bad. Really bad.

Still, you've got to come with us.

Like this?

My ears are supersonic, my teeth ache.

Just like this.

Welcome to the pack, Son.

Am I... am I going to transform?

Really? This is it?

Norway here I come.

I can't wait to give Jana a run for her money.

Jana, she's not coming this month.

She's on a mission.

A mission?

What, what mission?

Where?

Back to the wild pack?

I need to see if Meinir's treatment has worked.

Are you up for it?

Just say the word.

You'll need to be there for her transformation at full moon.

Then we'll leave before dawn.

-Come over when you get a break and we'll make a plan.

-OK.

Ow!

What was that for?

We're going to the wild pack.

# My heart still beats

# And my skin still feels

# My lungs still breathe

# My mind still fears

# But we're running out of 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 them. #

Why can't we go? We know them and they know us.

Imara would never allow it, even if I asked.

It'll cause too many problems, Emilia. For you, your brother,

your foster parents.

Look, we can go next time, I promise.

I better get back to work.

Oh, hiya.

I'm transforming tomorrow.

Yeah, well, that's great, TJ.

-What's wrong?

-You're not going to be there.

Look, don't be like that now, OK?

It's not my fault, is it?

TJ!

So, then,

I'm transforming tomorrow.

Welcome to the pack at long last.

Why are you so down about it? You'll be with your family.

Jana was meant to be there.

Stop moaning.

Jana's off to the wild pack, you're on a private flight to Norway

and we're stuck in a cellar with our foster parents.

Ta-da!

Yay!

Passed first time!

Yes! Well done, Katrina!

-Thank you.

-That's brilliant.

Listen, um, I was wondering if you could mind the Kafe tomorrow?

I really want to take Kay on this spontaneous day out

I've been planning.

I know you've got that Cipriani family thing,

but I was thinking, maybe you could cancel it?

Sorry, Katrina, it's been in the calendar for weeks.

What about your dad?

He's got a big meeting.

Come on Jana,

I'm more family than they are.

What's so important about tomorrow that you can't just do another time?

Sorry, Katrina, I promised them.

Well, I suppose I'll just have to make myself useful.

Actually, Doctor, the free wifi is only free if you buy something.

Yeah, I'm waiting for a coffee.

That girl is always letting people down.

You off anywhere nice?

Oh, just a little field trip with Jana, tomorrow.

With TJ and his mum?

No?

Looking forward to your family thing tomorrow?

Er, yeah.

Oh, then how come Dr Whitewood just told me

you two were going on a field trip together?

Ah, Katrina, I'm sorry but it's just...

Dr Whitewood is still waiting for a coffee.

Yep.

What does Jana do for Segolia that is so important?

Where's she going tomorrow?

What does your mum do for Segolia?

Oh, um, she just, she just, er, she's um...

She's probably told him a hundred times

but if there aren't any trainers involved....

Why don't we follow Jana tomorrow?

Find out what she does.

You've got a car now, haven't you?

Yeah.

I was supposed to be taking Kay out tomorrow.

She can mind the Kafe.

Come on, Katrina, you want to know what she gets up to?

So do we?

This is the only time you'll ever be able to find out.

OK.

Are you crazy? Katrina?

The wild pack?

Katrina meeting the wild pack? No way.

I can't spend another full moon staring at brick walls.

And I want to see Meinir.

But Katrina...

We'll lose her when we get there.

And what about Jana?

She'll be with the pack.

What's not to like?

Being sent to Romania?

Oh, quiet with your common sense and your balanced perspective.

-You what?

-Well, you're always just so sensible.

Are you saying I'm boring?

No. No, never, I didn't mean...

There's no way we can go.

They would spot us following a mile off.

Why don't you sync your phone with Emilia's?

Then I can hide it in Dr Whitewood's car and we can track it?

-Do it.

-Uh...?

-Hurry up.

-(I am.)

I can't take this any more. Let me do it.

I'd love to run some tests.

CAR DOOR BEEPS

You lost something?

My keys.

Oh, um, oh, here they are.

-You must have accidentally kicked them underneath.

-Thanks.

Check your phone.

-We really are going?

-Awesome, TJ.

-Oh, I do not want to hear this.

-We really are going.

Jana's going to go nuts.

Why don't you swap Norway for us?

There's nothing wrong with transforming with your mum, TJ.

Look, I can't eat this, Mum, I feel sick.

I remember my first time.

I was bristling.

My mum and dad were so proud.

Imagine,

under the moon,

running through those pines with the Segolia pack.

I know they're a bit stiff-legged at times but...

I don't work for Segolia, Mum.

No. But you will do soon.

Hello?

Hey, Kay, um, it's me.

Look, I was wondering if you could do me a huge favour

and cover my shift at the Kafe tomorrow?

You're telling me I'm not bunking off from college for a day

out with you,

I'm bunking off to do a shift at the Kafe on my own?

It's really important. Please.

Kay, I'll explain everything.

And I'll even pay you the half-time thingy.

You what?

You know, when people do extra time.

You mean time and a half.

I mean, it's a start. But, you know what I want.

OK.

Mr Jeffries may...may...may have meant that

I was the thick one in his very imaginative fantasy novel. OK?

OK, I'll do it.

Brilliant. Um, just don't tell my dad, all right?

-Ah, have you still got a key?

-M-hm.

Look, all you need to remember are the three Ks,

'customer service, customer service and customer service. Bye!'

And she thought that I was the thick one.

Me the thick one? Yeah, right.

# Go row the boat to safer grounds

# But don't you know we're stronger now

# My heart still beats

# And my skin still feels

# My lungs still breathe

# My mind still fears

# But we're running out of time

# Oh, all the echoes in my mind cry

# There's blood on your lies

# I'm running with the wolves tonight

# I'm running with the wolves

# I'm running with the wolves tonight

# I'm running with the wolves. #

Let's get this show on the road.

# Trick or treat, what would it be?

# I walk alone, I'm everything. #

I have no words.

I have minus words.

We're going to have to severely keep our distance.

Stop with all the words. Let's go.

Wait!

Changed your mind then?

Well, we're a pack, ain't we?

Nothing can stop us now!

Woo!

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

-Is TJ with you?

-TJ? No.

Are you sure? He's not answering his phone.

Well, unless he's clinging to the exhaust pipe, he's not with us.

Imara, I can assure you he's not here.

-Is there anything we can help with?

-No.

Just give me a status report as soon as you have something.

Will do...

What's TJ up to?

I don't know.

PHONE RINGS

Your mum again?

No. This time it was Jana.

My mum must have called her.

This is the life.

Oh, I forgot how much the countryside smells.

Shall we play a game?

Hmm?

How about I Spy?

I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with'S'.

This is going to be a long day.

What's that, Matei?

Er, something beginning

with 'S'. Snow?

Correct! Your turn!

# I'm running with the wolves tonight

# I'm running with the wolves

# I'm running with the wolves tonight

# I'm running with the wolves. #

Still no chance of any sat nav coordinates?

Don't need them.

I'd love to run some tests.

Find out more about that innate sense of location

and direction you have.

Why does everything have to be about scientific explanation?

Can't things just be?

I can tell you're getting closer to home.

You're beginning to sound like a wild again.

But we are nearly there though, aren't we?

Because I'm sensing negative population density,

increased flora and fauna, and a distinct lack of infrastructure.

Infrastructure?

We've run out of road.

Yes.

We're nearly here.

Who knew Katrina would be so determined?

-How are we going to send her home?

-Relax.

If the trauma of weeing behind a tree doesn't have her running

back to the city, nothing will.

All right, Katrina?

Bearing up?

Made of stern stuff, me.

Ooh! Onwards, Team Kafe!

-Team Kafe?

-Has anyone got any sanitising hand gel?

No?

How much further?

Not far. Only about another three hours.

Katrina, we've been travelling for, like, half a day.

We don't know where we are, we don't know where they are.

Come on, let's just call it quits.

What are you doing?

At this rate, we're going to get nowhere until after dark

and hello, newsflash...

I'm transforming tonight.

Katrina, come on, let's just head back.

We are not going back.

Look, there's fresh footprints here, let's track them!

We're heading out!

I'm "out-grylling" Bear Grylls!

We didn't think this through, did we?

We?! We? This was your idea.

I thought she'd go back when she got bored.

Don't worry, we'll think of something.

-If she says "Team Kafe" one more time...

-Come on, Team Kafe!

The wild pack's probably miles away,

and Katrina's bound to get tired and want to come back, won't she?

I'm going to call Jana.

Oh, no.

What do you think they're doing out here?

Um...collecting medicinal plants.

If anyone's got any idea how we get out of this mess,

now would be a good time to say.

We've got to leave her.

What? We can't just ditch her.

We're not that far from the van.

She'll make it back and drive home.

Huh! Ow!

No. She'll get lost. We can't do that to her.

This is on you, Emilia.

Come on, Team Kafe!

Hiya!

Where's my father?

-Aran?

-Jana, I...

Jana.

Dad.

What's wrong?

I knew you'd come.

What's wrong, Dad? Please.

Jana. This full moon,

it will be my last.

-I'm dying.

-No.

-You're not dying.

Not while I have breath in my body.

This is Madoc. We took him in.

He lost his pack.

To humans.

I lost my pack to humans.

He is a fine healer.

The daughter of Alric. It is an honour to meet you.

The wolfblood who walks in both worlds.

And who has brought some of that world to this.

The human my daughter has brought is also a healer.

Our history tells us humans only know how to destroy.

And when one comes, another follows.

Until there is nowhere left for us.

(I promise, Dad). I promise it's

just me and, me and Dr Whitewood.

-(OK?)

-I trust my daughter.

And Dr Whitewood -

she helped us escape the madman that wanted us gone.

All humans are mad.

But, if Alric trusts,

then I trust, too.

I'm here for Meinir.

Where is she?

The wolf in her faded.

When Ceri and Gerwyn came to say goodbye, she,

she chose to go with them and start a new life elsewhere.

We're going the wrong way.

How do you know?

I just feel it.

Come on, this way.

HE SNIFFS

Someone's coming.

You promised your father it was just you and the healer.

I smell another human.

Jana? What's happening?

I'll come back. I'll come back I promise, straight back. OK?

Stay with Dr Whitewood.

We're lost, aren't we?

It's worse than that.

GROWLING

Jana!

Jana! Help me!

Enough!

I told you not to come here! This isn't a game!

They're my pack.

They disobeyed me and followed me from the city.

I'm sorry.

Jana?

I'm not going to let anything happen to you.

These are young cubs,

trying to find their way!

They are my daughter's pack.

You harm them, you'll harm me!

I knew you'd come home.

To lead.

You're the leader of this pack.

If Madoc,

if he cannot...

if he can't help me,

I want you to lead.

This is my last wish.

What are you? Human or wolf?

I am my father's daughter.

It looks so funny.

THEY LAUGH

Matei!
