United We Stand Wolfblood

'You set this up,' a cage for any wolfblood

who didn't want to be chipped.

And Madoc, one of their own, to lead them in.

In or out the cage, you have no friends

'and nowhere to go.'

I have all the friends I need.

And you've just made a big mistake.

Never trap an animal in a cage.

You just make them more dangerous.

You conspired with humans to destroy our pack.

No, no, no, I did this to save us.

We went to the city and stood up to the humans.

We showed them that we weren't theirs to control.

How long is this going to take?

-Because I need to go and get my mum and Selina out.

-Shh.

He promised us a paradise,

free of humanity, a place where we would never have to see,

smell or fear their presence.

This is the freedom I sought for all of us who chose the wild life.

You're a traitor.

-Traitor!

-Traitor?

The only traitor here is her!

GROWLING

She fed you the lie that wolfbloods and humans can live together.

It is that lie that led us to this cage.

I used to think like you.

But then I saw the wider world and changed my mind.

Maybe one day you will too.

Like Hartington, Madoc has divided us to make us weak.

We cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated like that.

Humans and wolfbloods survive together,

or not at all.

Get him out of here while we decide his fate.

Traitor!

Stop! Stop!

I am right about the humans.

You will see that in the end.

You're an old fool, Madoc.

And do you know what happens to old fools?

Nothing.

So what do we do about Madoc?

-TJ will decide.

-What?

You challenged him,

this treachery means his victory counts for nothing.

You're the new alpha.

What? No, no! Wait, wait...!

This can't be right. I've got stuff to do.

# My heart still beats

# And my skin still feels

# My lungs still breath

# My mind still feels

-# But we're running out of time

-Time

# 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. #

HOWLING

-Why are you doing this?

-To stop you

trying to start an uprising.

Did you know Blydissiad was a trap?

A cage.

No, I didn't.

So Jana was right,

you're just Hartington's little puppet.

I'm an equal partner in this, in what needs to be done.

Yeah.

That's why he's got you running errands for him.

-In your own gym!

-You'll see things differently in a few days,

-you'll be back here, training, and everything...

-Here?

I'm never coming back here!

Human or wolfblood, I only train with people I respect.

Shall we seal the hole, my alpha?

No need.

His punishment isn't being trapped, it's having nowhere left to go.

You wanted to live in Blydissiad?

It's all yours.

HOWLING

Don't look back.

It's what he wants.

Where did Jana go?

No, it's not good enough.

Look, if I don't understand what you're talking about,

how do you expect anyone else to?

-Don't answer that.

-What if I modernise the myth?

Maybe throw in some witty tropes, or how about a catchphrase?

No, absolutely not! What's a trope?

We stick to the science.

The facts and experiments we have actual proof of.

People are going to think we're crazy enough as it is.

Yes, they will, so let's go again from the top.

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-Thousands of years ago...

No, no, not you.

The science bit, you know, the part we need normal people like me to understand.

Fine.

Think of the wolfblood gene as a switch.

It can be turned on and off.

-Like on a dark moon?

-Exactly.

But Segolia found a way to manufacture this change,

using the serum.

Project Genesis proved this was possible

because we all share a common ancestor.

Which is what the myth on the stone was all about.

The project also proved that humans can be treated like switches too.

So our human can be switched on and off?

Not your human, your wolf.

But that would mean...

Everyone's a wolfblood.

Well, technically, yes, and technically, no.

It's far more complicated than that. PHONE RINGS

-'Katrina?'

-Jana?

'I'm on my way back. Are you with Dr Whitewood?'

-I'm a wolfblood.

-'What?!'

-No, you're not.

-Jana, it's me. We need to meet.

-'I'm on my way.'

How long are you going to keep them shackled like that?

What difference does it make to you?

It's my gym!

And you're getting very well paid for its use.

Look, I'm not being cruel.

Your friends aren't prisoners, they're bait.

Jana's coming for them.

I'll call in extra security.

-No need.

-Easy for you to say.

This gym's all I've got, and if it gets attacked...

I said there's no need.

-What do you mean?

-I have it in hand.

And if that fails...

..there's always plan B.

Why shouldn't we go public?

I mean, this is incredible, it'll change the world.

Not everyone's as open-minded as you, Katrina.

Look, it will change the world, but who knows if it's for the better?

Telling the world means telling them everything Segolia got up to.

Full disclosure.

Which is bad for them, not for us, I mean...

all we're doing is telling the truth about those experiments.

We don't work for Segolia.

Imara did.

But she didn't know what was going on.

She was head of security, so people might not believe that.

Do it.

Tell everyone what you discovered.

But don't mention the reason why Segolia shut down the project.

Not yet. Not until you have too.

OK.

See if you can track down Jones, she might be able to help.

Right.

Thank you. All of you.

Whatever happens to me, keep getting information out there.

Social media, news, everything.

Sooner or later, someone will listen.

You're not really going to go in there on your own, are you?

This is personal now.

Your fight is out here. Did you bring the de-chipping gun?

Press the barrel against the skin where the chip went in

and pull the trigger. Simple as that.

-Thank you.

-Don't forget these.

-Earplugs?

Why do you need those?

He knows I'm coming.

What are you doing here?

You didn't think we'd let you go in there alone, did you?

You're supposed to be leading the pack.

What, you really think I'm going to stay out here

when I know my mum and Selina are both in there?

We left Emilia in charge,

she's taken the young and the old into hiding.

We're here to fight alongside our alpha, where we belong.

Look at them.

All bowing to their alpha.

So how are we going to do this?

You do this by staying away, out of danger.

-Jana...

-You're kidding, right?

-That's an order.

Stay out of sight.

None of you are losing your wolf, not while I'm alpha.

If I don't come out of there...

..then make a decision.

We're not really going to obey her, are we?

Of course we're not.

HIGH PITCHED SOUND WAVE

I've brought you some breakfast.

SHE GROWLS

No? OK.

Excuse my manners,

but watching the rest of you get chipped has given me an appetite.

So...on a scale from 1-10...

..how do you feel your rescue plan went?

SHE GROWLS

PHONE RINGS

I see your friends on the outside have been busy

trying to persuade the world you and I are the same.

How coincidental, Project Genesis comes to the media's attention...

..just as humanity...

..is about to defeat you.

What's in those files is the truth, even if you don't want to see it.

It's not the truth. It's proof I'm right.

There's more of you out there.

Wolfbloods in high places,

acting against me.

This again? There is no conspiracy.

Oh, but there is.

I've seen it with my own eyes.

There's a comrade I served alongside for years.

We were on a mission, trapped inside enemy territory.

He started getting scared.

"It's natural," I said, "we both are".

But it wasn't death he was scared of.

It was the moon, a full moon.

My friend,

my comrade...

..was a wolfblood.

He ran, of course.

Well, the wolf did.

The following day, a helicopter came to my rescue.

I filed my report, told my superior officers what had happened,

and they...

They kicked me out of the SAS.

Reminding me of the Official Secrets Act, and the...

..price I'd pay if I broke that oath.

Don't you tell me about there being no conspiracy.

You wolfbloods...

-..are everywhere.

-That shouldn't have happened...

..but it doesn't mean we're trying to take over the world.

Maybe you already have.

-Maybe you're just paranoid.

-Which doesn't mean it isn't true.

You're forgetting something, Hartington.

Oh, what's that?

Your phone call to Blydissiad.

I never said I was coming to rescue anyone.

I said I was coming for you.

Stop her!

GLASS SMASHES

No!

DOOR OPENS

-What's going on?

-By order of Her Majesty's Government,

this facility is closed.

All wolfbloods are to be released, their chips removed, immediately.

-Can you hear us?

-Help!

-Let me out!

-Let us out!

-Help!

-Robyn?

-Can you hear us?

Open this door!

-You never learn, do you?

-Hear me out first.

Where's Jana?

-How's your mum and dad?

-Still got their wolf, just.

-Where is Jana?

-She's gone after Hartington.

-Gone after him where?

-My guess, the water filtration plant.

What? Why?

He's got a backup plan.

What backup plan?

Something to get rid of you wolfbloods once and for all.

The serum, mate. He's got gallons of it.

You have to stop him.

-Bye-bye, wolfbloods.

-It's not just wolfbloods, you stupid girl.

Stop!

Wait! Please!

You can't put that serum in the water.

I admire you, Jana.

I really do. You never give up.

Listen! What they said about Project Genesis, it's all true.

Common ancestors, peace and love, blah, blah, blah.

-You don't know what you're doing.

-I know exactly what I'm doing.

We're all going to turn into wolfbloods!

Except we won't, will we?

We tested this on humans.

No change.

Because you tested it on adult humans, not children.

If you put that serum in the water, then human children will change.

Not just wolfbloods.

No!

There must be some way round here to shut the water off.

In here!

You're lying.

A last desperate attempt to save your species.

No! No, I'm not!

The Segolia research proved that genes are just switches.

That serum turns wolfbloods to human,

but it does the opposite too.

Human children will be turned into wolfbloods.

That's why they buried the research, to protect your species.

Don't come any closer.

What are we looking for?

I don't know, something to shut all this off.

Well, there must be a master switch somewhere.

If what you say holds any truth, Segolia must have experimented...

-..on human children.

-Segolia paid the scientist off,

closed down the project.

If you put that in the water supply

then every child who drinks it will change.

If that were really true, you wouldn't be trying to stop me.

Of course I would! No-one should be changed into something that they're not.

Not wolfblood, not human.

I used to believe what you believe.

That wolfbloods and humans are a natural enemy.

That it's us or you.

And then I met a boy called Rhydian.

And through him, an alpha called Maddy...

..and her human friends, who cared about me,

even though I saw them as the enemy.

They taught me that wolfbloods and humans can live together.

Sorry, Jana.

Even if what you told me about the serum is true...

..I've learned a different truth.

That in any conflict, there is always collateral damage.

Casualties of war.

No!

No!

BEEPING

-Come on. Let's try this.

-Selina!

Come on.

We don't even know what this does!

Look, we've tried everything else, it's got to do something, surely.

ALARM BLARES

Jana! Jana.

We did it! Get in!

-Another producer?

-Documentary producer.

He has done loads for the Beeb.

But why pick you to present a series on wolfblood history?

Why not an actual wolfblood, like Imara?

I mean, she knows her own history.

Well, I'm sort of an honorary wolfblood.

I mean, we all are, all three of us, aren't we?

Being part of a pack doesn't make us wolfbloods, Tim.

Well, not yet, anyway.

Come on, we're going to be late.

What do you mean, "not yet"?

Rebecca? What are you up to?

-Do you ever wish I was a wolfblood?

-No.

-I do.

"Responding to the anonymous call,

"the police officers found Joshua Hartington flagging down cars

"in a distressed state, claiming he was being chased by a wolf.

"If one of you knows anything about this incident,

"kindly contact the aforementioned police station and make a statement.

"Sincerely yours, Commander Jones."

Ooh! She's gone up in the world.

"Acting Head of Internal Security, Wolfblood Affairs".

What?!

Not one single newspaper mentioned this wolf.

-So...?

-So you were out of town yesterday.

Helping Whitewood with her research.

If you don't believe me, ask her. I was with her all day.

And if you're looking for suspects,

you said that Matei didn't get back from Blydissiad until late.

They were taking down the last fence,

and I was not missing that celebration.

Besides, when I got home,

he told me he hadn't seen Selina for a few days.

-What?

-Well...

He thought you were chucking him.

What did you tell her that for?!

Poor baby!

-Robyn. It was Robyn.

-What?

Yesterday, I sent you out to the cash and carry, you were gone for, like, five hours.

Because you didn't tell me which cash and carry. There are six.

Sorry!

So...who was chasing after Hartington?

Well, look, it could have been any wolfblood out there.

No. It wasn't any wolfblood.

-Emilia.

-I knew it was her!

Madoc.

We found it by our springs, near some plastic.

It smelt of that serum.

Hartington poisoned your water supply.

No, Madoc got to him first.

-He saved our pack.

-How do you know?

-I drank the water.

-Emilia!

-You could have lost your wolf!

-Better me than Hafren.

-How can you say that?

-Because I started this war.

I turned against you all.

My pack, my alpha.

Oh...

Stand-up.

You have nothing to be sorry for, OK?

You were brave, you were strong and you were true to your wolf.

What?

-What is it?

-The war is over.

The anger in me's gone.

I left Hafren in charge of the pack.

I want to come home, Matei.

I want to come home!

As humans come to wolfbloods to

learn a new appreciation of the natural world,

some are developing perceptively sharper senses.

Are they accessing their ancient wolfblood ancestry

or is it simply the effect of greater concentration?

Right now, we just don't know.

OK. One more time.

Close your eyes.

Feel nature flowing through you.

Feel your senses sharpen.

Feel the wind, feel the earth and the sky.

Feel your ancestors, wolfblood and human,

howling to you from deep within history.

What do you hear?

My breathing.

The wind.

Some birds.

Everything, I can hear everything!

Yes!
