-Got you!

[theme music playing]

THEME SONG: 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.

Where mystic creatures wandered far.

Through these veins a wolfblood flows.

Through these veins a wolfblood flows.

MADDY [OFFSCREEN]: Thanks, Mom.

-Yeah, next time you miss the bus you can walk to school.

-If I run, I'd get here before the bus.

-Don't forget to invite Rhydian round for dinner.

We need to talk to him about transforming safely.

-Just, let me talk to him first.

-No, Maddy.

Invite him round.

-Just promise me you want embarrass him.

-Of course not.

I'm not entirely without tact.

[horn honking]

-Tell him Wednesday is hog roast night.

MADDY [THINKING] You idiot.

-Mads, come check this out.

Incredible, isn't it?

Proof at last.

-Yeah.

-It's so scary.

Where did you get it?

-I took it myself, this morning.

-It's amazing.

-Seriously, Shannon, we always just thought

you were a bit mental.

-Thanks.

-It looks a wolf.

Were you scared?

-Yeah.

I've been up on the moors searching for proof for years.

JIMI [OFFSCREEN]: You call this proof?

-Yeah, I call it proof.

What do you call it?

-Photoshop.

[snickering]

-You can laugh all you like, but I've got the cards from

the camera in the darkroom with the original raw files.

You can't fake those.

-Fine.

Let's see it then.

-It was right here.

-Ooh, maybe the monster took it.

-Well, someone took it.

-Oh, please don't tell me.

It's all a conspiracy.

-Shannon, leave it.

He's not worth it.

-You took it, didn't you?

To make me look like an idiot.

-You don't need any help with that.

[laughter]

-No.

It's real.

I'll--I'll find the card.

-Shannon, it's OK.

-No.

They believed me, Tom.

No one has ever believed me before.

-We believe you, and you know the truth.

That's all that matters.

-No.

This is the closest that I'd ever been, Maddy.

And the proof is on that card.

-I know you took it.

-Yeah.

You can thank me later.

-You made Shannon look like a total idiot.

-Tough.

-If you weren't wolfing out in the woods, Shannon wouldn't

have got a picture in the first place.

-It wasn't me.

-Then who was it?

-I'm always guilty until proven innocent, aren't I?

-A wolf pack hasn't been sighted in

Stoneybridge for years.

You come along, and suddenly Shannon's got a picture.

Come on.

-It couldn't be one of your parents?

-They don't wolf out in public.

You took that memory card to cover your own back.

-I took it to protect us.

If you'd rather protect your idiot friend's reputation,

then go ahead.

-You're an idiot.

Oh, Shannon, you idiot.

Are you OK?

-Oh, yeah, I'm fine, apart from the fact I'm a laughing

stock.

-Well, I mean, I'm not surprised.

Have you seen this memory card?

Really, Shannon?

-And I've got to stand detention tomorrow.

-What for?

Apparently photocopying 30 posters is misuse of school

property.

-Well, I'm not surprised.

I mean, it is--

-Plus I got one for fighting.

-What?

-I was frisking Liam, he shoved me away and so I

cracked him one.

-Shannon?

-I need to find that card.

[laughter]

-Seriously, she's been obsessed since primary school.

-It's so sad.

-Not as sad as her dress-sense.

[laughter]

-Come on, Shannon.

-You know what?

I think I'm just going to go home.

-Come to mine.

We'll make dark chocolate biscuits and we'll watch some

films.

-I think I'll leave it.

-Who are you?

And what have you done with Shannon Kelly?

-Sorry, Mads.

[crying]

-Hay fever?

You're looking for the monster, I suppose?

-Rhydian, just leave it, OK?

-Why are you so interested in it, then?

-I was seven and I was this camping trip with the

Brownies, not far from here.

We'd all gone to bed for the night, but I couldn't sleep.

There were sounds of things outside.

Probably badgers and stuff.

But you know how your imagination plays tricks.

I was playing shadow monsters.

Then there was a real shadow on the outside.

So I turned off my torch and it came closer.

It was right over us.

I thought it was just one of my friends, and so I unzipped

the tent to have a look.

And there it was, this monstrous face, hairy, with--

with these yellow eyes.

I screamed so loudly it woke up the whole camp.

-So what do you think it was?

-I don't know.

But when I got back to school everyone had heard.

They started making fun of me.

I was even sent to a child psychologist.

-What for?

-I wouldn't shut up about what I'd seen.

Everyone said I was just doing it for attention.

-It's not nice to be accused of lying, is it?

-Exactly.

-You know, chocolate helps hay fever.

-Are you sure you don't want it?

-Naw, I'm good.

-Vegan chocolate.

-My foster parents are vegetarians.

-Mm.

-Enjoy.

[knocking]

-We're just going food shopping, there.

So is Rhydian coming round tomorrow?

-I don't know.

-Oh, what's wrong?

Come on.

You've had your tail between you legs since you came in.

What's brought this on?

-Nothing.

Uh, I'm just fed up with lying all the time.

It's not cool.

I can't even tell my friends who I really am.

-Well, there's one friend you don't have to lie to.

Make an effort with him, Maddy.

He could learn a lot from you.

-He won't listen to us.

-Well, just be patient with him.

When the poor lad's never had a real

family, let alone a pack.

We have to look out for each other.

-Hey, Shan.

Are you OK?

-Yeah, why?

-Oh, it's just that you were really upset yesterday, and I

thought you might have went on a rampage.

-Saturday, bring your camera.

-Mm, cool.

Hi.

-What?

-I'm really sorry about the memory card.

You were right to have taken it.

-Yeah.

Totally.

-Can you just come for dinner tonight?

Mom and Dad, they want to talk to us

about wolfing out safely.

I know it's really, really embarrassing.

But, um, we should just get it out of the way.

-Out of the way, yeah.

-And then when you change, me and Mom are going to braid

your hair, with ribbon, and take pictures.

-Cool.

-You're not even listening to this, are you?

-Sorry, do you know what's one the menu?

-Uh, I think Wednesday is veggie day.

[sigh]

-Meat.

-Where?

-You got cravings.

-They're vegetarians, Maddy.

My foster parents, they're vegetarians.

-Well, Wednesday is hog roast night.

You know, where you get a whole pig and roast it, with

all the trimmings.

-A whole pig?

-Fancy it?

-Yeah.

-Cool.

-I can't look at another vegetable.

-Macaroni cheese, please.

[laughter]

Ooh, you're frightened?

-It was the most terrifying thing I've

ever seen in my life.

[laughter]

-It's here!

Save yourself!

-Stop mocking me!

-It's going to kill me.

-Give it here.

-What on earth is going on here?

-She just went for me, sir.

-More posters?

-She needs help.

-I don't need help.

That monster's real, and I'm going to prove it.

-Well, you can do it after detention.

-What?

Another one?

-All of you.

-Ugh!

-[WHISPERING] Please Shannon, not tonight.

I thought we were going this weekend?

-[sigh]

Did Scott wait until the weekend?

-Yeah, but he died.

-The point is, the monster could be gone by the weekend.

It's there, and right now.

-I can't make it tonight.

I've got this dinner thing with my parents.

-Then get out of it.

-I can't.

They've been nagging me for weeks.

-Fine, well Tom's coming, aren't you, Tom?

-Uh, well, there's a new match on tonight--

MR. JEFFRIES [OFFSCREEN]: Shh!

-Which I will record.

-Good.

We meet at Bernie's, 5 o'clock.

-How long are we going for, Shan?

-Nope, nope.

A little help.

-Madeline, leave some for Rhydian.

-Mom, I think he'll live.

-Uh, you mother's gone through a lot of trouble for this.

After all, the steaks are high.

[laughter]

-Stop it, you silly sausage.

[laughter]

-No, seriously, you two better stop that.

-Hey, I ham stopping.

-Right, that's it.

I'm calling him.

He's not coming.

[knocking]

-Oh, that'll be him.

Rhydian, I'm Daniel.

Come on in.

Please to, uh, meat you.

[laughter]

-Help yourself, mate.

Have as much as you like.

-It's got to be cool having a family you

can be yourself around.

-Well, you're more than welcome anytime you want.

And if you've got any questions about

anything, just ask.

-On the full moon, do you change in the house, in here?

-No, we got a secure room in the cellar.

-The cellar?

-You like it?

-We call it the den.

It's got everything a wolf desires, and it's safe for us,

and, well, for everyone else.

It's all about responsibility.

-But don't you ever just want to run free?

Isn't that what being a wolfblood's about?

-No, being a wolfblood is not just about given in to our

primal desires.

It's about being a responsible part of a wider community.

-Yeah, we got a rich heritage and culture.

And we got books here that you won't find in school library.

It's true that Rome was founded by the wolfbloods

Romulus and Remus.

And Genghis Khan's tribe weren't called the wolves for

nothing.

-Yeah, but most of us agree that it's better to tame out

of instincts.

-Most of us?

Yeah, I just meant that--

-No, you said, most of us.

You always taught us that we all kept

ourselves locked away.

-Maybe we should--

-She's not old enough.

-Old enough for what?

-There are other wolfbloods that don't lock themselves

away, aren't there?

-La, la, la, la, la, la.

SHANNON [OFFSCREEN]: Shut up!

You'll scare the monster away with that racket.

-[SARCASTICALLY] Well sorry!

Have you got any food in here?

-Do I?

Let's have a look.

Ah, I've got some sandwiches, cheese, loads of chocolate,

loads of chocolate.

-Is that true?

We were going to tell you after you transformed.

-We didn't want to scare you.

-Scare us?

-There are other wolfbloods who, well, they don't quite

share the same values as us.

-Wild wolfbloods.

-But they're very rare.

And most of us agree, it's better to be a useful part of

society instead of--

-Instead of what?

-Instead of hating humans, and hating us.

They're dangerous.

-It wasn't you in that photo.

-I told you it wasn't.

-Shannon and Tom are out there.

-What's wrong?

-We've got some beans.

We could heat them up.

And we've got bacon and sausages.

Aw, this is going to be lovely.

Oh!

-All right.

You got any crisps, Shan?

[twigs breaking]

-What was that?

-What?

-There's something over there.

-Oh, you know what?

I think we should go.

Look, the fog's getting thicker.

We clearly aren't going to see anything.

-Look, Shannon took it the other day.

I thought it was Rhydian, because I didn't know about

wild wolfbloods.

-Where did they go?

-To the woods, here.

-Yeah, but where?

Where is here?

-Uh, I can't explain, but I can find it.

-No, you two stay here.

-We're coming with you.

-You'll be staying right here.

If there's a wild wolfblood out there, we'll sniff it out.

-Well, this is ridiculous.

I know where they are.

-Mom and Dad know what they're doing.

-What, in their car?

If that wolf's out there, he's using his senses, and he's

going to hunt down Tom and Shannon.

We can get there first.

-You're right.

But no wolfing out.

Shannon's got a camera.

-Oh, come on, Shannon.

That was just a badger, all right.

A fox, maybe a rabbit?

-Shush!

[wolf growling]

-That's a big badger, Shan.

-It's really close.

[wolf growling]

-6 o'clock.

Naw, it's nearly 7.

-No, I mean it's right behind us.

[yelling]

[laughter]

-Oh!

Your faces!

-Oh, you idiots.

You're not funny!

-You found the monster yet?

-No, thanks to you.

You probably scared it off.

-Oh, please!

-Yeah, what kind of monsters would be scared of us?

[wolf howling]

-Wuh-- what was that?

-It was just a dog.

I know, he must have wondered into the woods.

-That's not a dog, it's the monster.

It's my monster.

-I'm not hanging around to find out.

-Look, if you run it will chase you.

[yelling]

-Are you OK?

-Well, we would be, if you wasn't jumping out at us.

-What you doing here?

-What are you doing here?

I thought you had dinner with your parents.

-You had dinner with Rhydian, on a date?

-Oh, shut up.

He's my cousin.

-Guys, guys!

-What was that?

-It's the monster.

[wolf growling]

-Huh?

-That's the monster!

Everybody get behind me.

Mads, Mads!

-Run!

-Ugh!

-Tom, are you OK?

-Oh, I'm out of here.

Yeah, let's go.

-Well, wait for me.

-I thought you didn't believe in monsters?

-My ankle!

-Give me the camera.

-What?

-The camera!

The flash blinds the monster.

[wolf howling]

-Just give me it!

Stay with Tom.

[wolf growling]

-Rhydian!

Leave him alone!

[wolf howling]

[wolf growling]

[wolf growling]

-Listen!

They've stopped.

Come on, come on.

[grunting]

-Wait.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

-I don't blame you.

We didn't even know about wild wolfbloods.

-No.

-What's that?

-It's something.

-You can't tell it's a wolf.

-We've got to leave something for Shannon.

-Yeah.

Anyway, that's my best side.

Where are the others?

-Tom hurt his ankle.

He's with Shannon.

You know Jimi, every man for himself.

-He's such a wuss.

-Yeah.

Here he is.

So I'll find Tom and Shannon by myself then, shall I?

Yeah.

Good.

-Argh!

-So what do you think it was?

It had to be the beast, right?

Probably foxes.

I mean, have you ever seen foxes fight?

They really go for it, those foxes.

-Hi, you guys.

-Well, where have you been?

-Looking for you guys.

-Anyway, what I saw was bigger than a fox.

And there's definitely something out there.

[rumbling]

-What was that?

-Is everyone all right?

-What are you doing here?

-What are you doing here?

-Uh, we--

-Just going for a drive.

-Yeah, because Emma likes bird watching.

-Dan likes star cruising.

-Tom's hurt his ankle.

-Right.

Let's get him back to the house.

-Here we go.

-You all right?

-Yeah, just a bit freaked out, I guess.

-What's this here?

Do you bring my daughter out here?

-Come on, you two, in you go.

-No.

No.

[sigh]

No.

No.

No.

-Ah, what's that?

Oh.

No, it's just a badger.

-I know it's up there.

I'll find it one day.

-What about that one, Shan?

-It's not very clear.

-Yeah, but you can still see something, though.

-Yeah, you could definitely use it on a poster, Shannon.

-Yeah.

-No, I'm done with posters.

-Are sure you're done with posters?

-What are you looking at, losers?

[laughter]

-The crybabies of the moors?

I didn't cry.

-Sam did.

-Did not.

Jimi did.
