Brave New World Wolfblood

Segolia will hunt the wild pack down. We'll hunt you all down.

That's why we need to end this, once and for all.

THEY MUTTER APPRECIATIVELY

Wolfblood revelations sent shock waves around the world.

Questions are being asked.

-How many are there?

-Why didn't we know about them?

Is it a conspiracy?

And are we safe?

It's not humans that'll come after you.

There are wolfbloods who will never forgive you for what you've done.

So keep your pack close.

And watch your back.

Jana!

Jana!

WOLF GROWLS

JANA GROWLS

Who was that?

I don't know.

# 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, a-ah

# There is nowhere for you to hide

# The hunter's moon is shining

# I'm running with the wolves tonight

# I'm running with the wolves

# I'm running with the wolves. #

WOLF HOWLS

Hold still.

Jana, honestly, it's fine.

I'm your Alpha. I'm supposed to protect you.

All of you.

This isn't the first time someone's come after you.

No.

It's the first time I haven't been ready for them.

No-one's safe while I'm here.

So I need to leave.

What?

Back to the old pack.

Back to nature and freedom.

For your sake and for my own.

HE HOWLS

Hey, Selina.

-It's heaving in here.

-Just the way we like it.

Remember, a smile to every customer.

Welcome to the Kafe, what can I get you?

A latte, please.

So, erm, new staff?

Imara's idea.

Robyn's trying very hard.

SHE GROWLS

The tongs.

I'll bring your latte over.

Then it comes up all over your body

and then like all your veins like start coming out.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-We need to talk.

All of us.

-Are you all right?

-Emergency meeting.

Pack only.

Sorry, guys. Catch you later, though, yeah?

Right, so what's this emergency?

So, when's Jana going to stop hiding in that den and move back in?

I mean, I love having the flat to myself,

but I could really use her around the Kafe.

Jana's not coming back, Katrina.

-She's leaving.

-What?

-Where is she going to go?

-To the wild pack.

But she can't just give up.

She's our Alpha.

She's trying to do the right thing.

She thinks that as long as she's weak,

she's a danger to the pack.

But if we show her how much we need her, then she might stay, right?

She's staying for the full moon tomorrow, one last night as a pack.

Without Jana, there is no pack.

We need to show her that we're stronger together.

Well, I'm in.

-What? I'm her friend, too.

-Yeah, of course, but...

It's just, when the moon rises...

Well, duh.

I'll help you guys persuade her, then I'll get out of there.

I've got to be back in time for Greatest Fashion Blunders, anyway.

-She is right, though.

-Yeah, sure.

Jana won't stay, and you know it's because she doesn't belong here.

Mr Jeffries! Nice suit.

Job interview?

This is Katrina, she is Jamelia in the novels.

Katrina, meet Mr Hartington, he's a film producer.

Wow. You know, I have this great idea for a movie.

-Really?

-Yeah, it's about these three girls who start a fashion brand

for wolfbloods, called Fabulous Creatures.

Cos, you know, they're fabulous.

Shall we?

I mean, I'd be open to being, like, a fashion advisor,

or maybe a cameo role.

Call me!

I'm actually kind of a big deal among wolfbloods, you know?

Hey! I was one of the first humans to find out the secret, you know.

So, if people stare, or ask for autographs...

No.

..then, you know.

Hey, gang, what's up?

This is Mr Hartington,

the film producer that I was telling you about.

Delighted to meet you all, at last.

You got the e-mail, right? Yeah, no?

About the film version of Bloodwolf.

A movie?

I was hoping that as friends of one of the main characters,

-you'd want to get involved.

-Us?

What, like...

acting?

Possibly.

Is Jana here as well?

She's busy.

Well, another time.

But first, we need to see a transformation

in order to recreate it on screen,

so, I'd like to invite you to dinner at my country manor,

tomorrow night.

Then you can transform in the grounds, we film it,

and bingo, we have reference for our special effects team.

You see, tomorrow we can't, sorry.

Well, you can count me in.

TJ.

What? Free dinner and celebrities, what's not to like?

Erm, can I have a word?

This is our only chance to persuade Jana to stay.

Come on, Selina.

Imagine.

TJ Cipriani, movie star.

Imagining is all you'll be doing.

-Sel.

-Look at yourself.

Swanning around with your fake friends,

boasting about YouTube views.

When did you last do any studying?

Because we've got exams coming up.

That's kids' stuff. We're in the real world now.

Every wolfblood for themselves.

So, where shall I turn up?

I'll send the car over. 7pm all right?

Yeah. Brilliant.

Look, you were Jana's first friend when she came here,

and now you're just abandoning her for Jeffries' rubbish movie.

Come on, Matei, look at this.

I was supposed to land this nice, cushty job at Segolia.

But guess what, there is no Segolia any more.

And instead I'm sharing bunks with you in this shoebox of a flat

-that my mum can't even afford.

-Thanks.

Look, mate, it's not you, it's everything.

Look, if we want a future,

we've just got to grab it with both hands.

This is me, grabbing.

A movie producer, really? You fell for that?

Who told you?

Erm...

I might have text Jana.

You don't even know who this guy is, what he does...

Look, if he wasn't serious

then why would he invite me to his big country manor, then?

And now you're just going to transform for him,

-like a circus act?

-Why not?

This is my chance, Mum, I could be something.

Being something isn't an ambition, Terence.

Look, just because you've given up on everything,

doesn't mean that I need to!

So any luck finding the wolfblood that attacked Jana?

Matei!

What?

-You were attacked?

-That's why I thought you were here.

I was saying goodbye.

Jana, you're supposed to tell me everything.

When you're gone, it's down to me to protect your pack.

It was just a wolfblood with a grudge, I doubt she'd be back.

So, tomorrow night?

Thanks, but that's for you and your friends.

I'm going to go to the West Woods with the Segolia pack,

what's left of them.

I really hope you're making the right decision, Jana.

-I'm home!

-Good, dinner's up.

What's this?

I don't know, it's addressed to you.

Then why is it open?

It's only the inter-schools championships,

I've told them it's not acceptable.

Yeah, the county championships, they haven't made a decision yet.

I don't get it.

Wolfbloods are as safe as anyone in that ring.

Safer!

We've learned to control ourselves for years,

cos that's what Taekwondo's about, control, equilibrium.

And patience.

Play the long game, Selina, it's a difficult time at the moment.

Let the dust settle, things will change, they always do.

OK, so do nothing?

Honestly, Selina, what did you expect?

-This is my fault now?

-You exposed the secret.

Segolia were going to de-wolf us.

And you did the right thing,

you hoped for a better world because of it and maybe it'll come.

But for right now, we have to live in the world as it is,

and that means in the long and difficult struggle,

you have to pick your battles.

I don't pick battles.

I win them.

Matei, a word, please.

Sure.

There's been an improvement in your grades in the last few months.

Thanks.

But improvement on this scale

usually suggests that the pupil is...

Well, the thing is, now that we know about wolfbloods,

we have to ensure that they don't have unfair advantages

over other pupils.

Take sports, for example.

They'd be winning everything if we hadn't taken action.

Banned us from everything, you mean.

My point is, I'm concerned that you aren't putting in

the same effort as the other pupils.

Working hard for what you want is a vital part of growing up.

What do you think I'm doing? Smelling the answers?

There's no need for that tone.

Then what you expect me to do, turn my senses off?

-They don't work that way.

-You're taking this entirely the wrong way,

I'm trying to help you.

By accusing me of cheating.

-You're not allowed in here.

-I was dropped from the team,

nothing says I can't train on my own.

After all, you've been doing that for months.

Go on, then, but I don't know why,

you'll never be allowed to compete again.

We'll see.

-How long you going to be?

-I'm not done yet!

What are you going to do, mark your territory by weeing on it?

What's it like using your animal abilities?

Winning all those fights, beating me, and knowing deep down

that you never deserved any of it?

That you're a cheat!

Selina, wait up.

Hey.

Hey... What did I tell you about that perfume?

Enough to make anyone cry.

I just thought it'd be easier now everyone knows.

How come you're so late leaving?

Miss Leonard thinks wolfblood abilities include reading her mind

for the exam questions.

If we could do half the things humans think...

Hey, what is this?

The mopey wolfbloods club or something?

Cheer up! It's a full moon.

-Is that her?

-That's not her, is it?

Oh, my God. It's Jana!

Wow!

So I was thinking about going on a yoga retreat.

You know, to discover myself.

I could book you in too?

You can do your thing in the gardens.

Katrina, have the others asked you to speak to me?

They are really worried.

Breaking up the pack? That's harsh.

Yeah, well, I never asked for any of this.

Look, it's been rough on you, I know.

But if you hadn't locked yourself away, we could have helped you.

I know, Miss Independent doesn't need anybody's help.

Maybe we need yours.

I've been run off my feet.

And quite frankly I'm a little scared of Robyn.

We really need you.

I'm sorry, Katrina. I...

I just don't know who I am any more.

I know who you are. You're the girl who knew nothing about humans,

but marched right into school and made everyone accept her.

I made a right mess of that, didn't I?

But you did it.

Cos you're the girl that never says never,

who always has a plan.

A girl who'd never turn her back on her friends when they need her.

I'm not that girl any more.

Come on, Sel. Why don't you come with me tonight?

You were born to be a stuntwoman.

-What about Jana?

-Why don't we do both?

We go to the fancy dinner, transform for the cameras,

and then go and meet Jana in the wild. Sorted.

Come on, I know there's some wild in you somewhere, let it out.

-Maybe you're right.

-Of course I am.

There's more wild in us than we know.

So let's go discover it.

Humans don't want us around, fine.

Let's go with Jana.

To the wild pack? We can't do that.

-Why not?

-Emelia's there.

And you want to be with Jana, right?

Yeah, but what about my mum and your parents?

What are they going to say about this?

They blamed me for having us move.

And now they want to hide and pretend it never happened.

I don't want to pretend any more!

Come on!

All four of us, together.

If we do this,

there's no coming back.

Good.

So are you coming or not?

No.

I'm in.

-To the wild pack.

-To the wild.

You could stay, you know.

-It's not that bad.

-And be called a cheat at school?

-Share a flat with your mum?

-She likes you being here.

She said so herself, just the other day.

You wash up, take the rubbish out.

She likes all that.

She's going to blame me, you know.

It's all right.

You land on your feet. You always do.

Right.

So what do you think?

Like a wannabe movie star.

Come here.

Come on, let's go before your mum gets back.

Whoa! You never said we were dining with the Queen!

Everyone, please welcome the reason we're here tonight, our author,

Mr Tim Jeffries.

Good evening.

And the very talented young wolfblood, Mr TJ Cipriani.

Please, take your seats.

Thank you.

So where's all the movie stars?

No-one said anything about movie stars.

So, are you all in the...

-You know, the movie business?

-Finance.

Finance?

Or executive producers, as we call it in the industry.

But we can talk shop after dinner.

Merci.

Are you sure?

Cos, I mean, you do understand

-that there's no toilets and showers and...

-We'll manage.

But...

You can't just come because of me.

It's not just about you, Jana.

I want to see my sister, as well.

Yeah, but you've got school, and...

Yeah, because that's going so well.

This is such a bad idea.

Hard luck, we're coming anyway.

Just try and stop us.

Oh, great.

So everyone's just running away and leaving me, are they?

I can't believe you guys.

Your Bloodwolf books,

they're based entirely on fact?

Well, yes. I mean, there's a little artistic license, of course.

And the title of your second book, The War Against The Humans,

was that inspired by something you heard?

Well, no, obviously.

But, you know, I had to up the stakes with the sequel.

There isn't going to be a war.

Looks like it's time for the main event.

Are you OK?

You said transform on the grounds.

Not in a cage.

You'll have run of the grounds afterwards,

but this is the only way to get the footage they want to see.

TJ, you don't have to do this.

Think of it as an audition.

Perhaps for a leading role, hm?

The plan was to get Jana to stay, not go with her.

I'm sorry, Katrina.

Look, things just changed.

Yeah, and you changed them.

All of you.

Now you're all just going to run away.

-Fine.

-No, Katrina, wait!

-Jana!

There's no time.

THEY GROWL

A toast, to our special guest, TJ.

-ALL:

-TJ.

HE GROWLS

Oh...

Ah...

Did someone...?

Did you spike me?

Jeffries! Mr Jeffries!

Jeffries!

Do something!

Mr Jeffries!

"Convince her to stay," they said. "In the woods," they said.

"One big full moon together," they said.

Wolfbloods.

GROWLING

Jana?

Nice wolfie...

SHE SCREAMS

Go to sleep, little wolf.

We have big plans for you.

-You need help.

-From you, never!

Your mother's fetching me what I need and when I have that,

I have no further need of you.

What happened to my sister?

There is a mind at work in all this,

scheming in the dark, that we know nothing of.
