Wolf King (2025) s01e06 Episode Script
The Maelstrom

Get away from her!
Drew!
You don't want to do this, Drew!
All right, maybe you do.
Drew, it's me!
I'm your friend, Drew.
I'm with you.
I'll always be with you.
And I know you won't hurt me.
I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here.
Listen to my voice.
Calm the Wolf.
It's over.
Hector?
Gretchen?
- I didn't I wouldn't--
- Well, you nearly did!
- I'm sorry.
- No problem.
What are friends for?
You look like you need to sit
By all that the earth and seas obey,
my Erin.
I will see you again someday.
I need to find someone to help me
before I really hurt someone.
- You think this Shark guy is the one?
- Count Vega?
I'm not sure
a pirate is the best role model.
He's the only one I've got.
So, we're scouring every port
for your fishy friend now?
Hm, great.
I prefer the plan where I go home,
become queen, and live happily ever after.
Hector?
I do like the sound of happily ever after
But leave it to me. I'm a magister.
I know how to find Count Vega.
Excuse me!
Does anyone know where I might
be able to find a Shark called Vega?
Anyone?
Um he's a count. He's a Shark.
All Hallow's Bay.
It's exactly as my mum described.
Did she describe the smell too?
Oh, she speaks.
You've been ignoring me for two days.
Quite an achievement,
stuck in the same tiny wagon.
I know better
than to provoke a caged animal.
- Come on. Give us your hand.
- Why? So you can use it as a chew toy?
Thank you. No, no, I'm trying
to find a Shark, not a chicken.
I mean, it's a lovely chicken
Right. If we're looking for a sailor,
we should probably try the inn.
Hmm.
I've been waiting for this.
That's right.
This is it.
Excuse me, barman, sir.
I wonder if you can help me.
Oi! Has anyone lost
a short, weird, posh lad?
We're trying to find a captain named Vega.
Apparently, posh lad comes
with a farm boy in need of a bath.
Any takers?
How about a barman
who is likely to lose his head
for mocking a princess and her servants?
Servants?
Fine. Shark's around.
Usually comes in at high tide.
Was that so hard? Now, I think
you owe an apology to my staff.
Well, that ain't happening.
- I'm sorry.
- Mm.
Is there any food available?
We've been traveling for two days solid.
For that,
you'd be lucky to get a mug of dishwater.
But I'll see what I can do.
"Princess"?
Shouldn't we be keeping our heads down?
I've got nothing to hide.
You do what you want.
I'm gonna raise some cash.
How? Gretchen, how?
Remember. This is the Lion's den.
While we're here,
you need to be on your best behavior.
I'm not afraid
of the Lion and his cub.
As soon as the gates close,
bring the Bear to me.
Your Majesty.
No!
All right, losers.
Better luck next time. Where's my prize?
Uh, we didn't order that.
My compliments.
You both look hungry, and I always
like to help out strangers in need.
I'd suggest avoiding the crab.
Huh. Too late.
I heard you were looking for Vega.
I know where you can find him.
Where?
First, I need to know two things.
Why are you looking for him,
and, more importantly,
how much are you paying?
There. Found the Shark yet?
I can see who the real leader
of your motley crew is.
Count Vega is mysterious, unknowable.
Like a ghost of the sea.
Impossible to find un--
Vega!
You owe me money.
- Vega?
- Vega?
This guy is our last great hope?
Excuse me for one moment.
I apologize
for the rudeness of the locals.
Count Vega of the Cluster Isles.
At your service.
Shall we?
How can we trust this guy?
Do we have a choice?
So, what is it you children really want?
We're not children.
This is your ship, isn't it?
I haven't seen
that trinket for a very long time.
My version is a little larger.
The Maelstrom.
Wow.
We should continue
our discussions on board,
before our friend from the inn
fetches his bigger, uglier friends.
Let's go.
- I'm staying.
- What? Wha--
I've won enough money
to buy passage anywhere.
Where will you go?
Back to my life, I suppose.
What? You still want to be Lucas's queen?
You know what he is.
What's the alternative?
Scraping the barrel
with pirates and farm boys?
- Fine. If that's what you want.
- It is.
Look. I'm sorry I scared you.
It takes more than a feral pup
to scare me.
Are you sure you'll be all right?
I'll be fine.
Look after Drew.
Someone has to.
We need to move. Now. Chop-chop.
Keep your eyes down and your mouth shut.
- What if--
- There are no what-ifs in Leopold's court.
He took my bride hostage
and Vankaskan's apprentice!
When I get my claws into that Wolf,
I'll tear his throat out!
The prince grows
more bloodthirsty by the day, brother.
Yes, he's coming along nicely.
What are they playing at?
We should've found him by now!
We have to--
Duke Bergan of Brackenholme
and the Lady Whitley.
My king.
Welcome to the kingdom of Westland,
Duke Bergan.
Why hasn't the Wolf been found yet?
- Has your daughter been helping him?
- What?
There's no need for bad blood,
especially with a wedding on the horizon.
How do you have a wedding with no bride?
- Did you say something?
- No. She did not.
Good. Because as the Lady Whitley
is Gretchen's cousin,
- I was thinking she could be bridesmaid.
- What?
Soon enough
she'll need to be married off herself,
if anyone'd have her.
What do you say, Father?
Hmm. What could be more fitting?
After all, this wedding
will make us one extended family.
What do you say, Bergan?
It would be her honor, my king.
Welcome to The Maelstrom!
Fastest ship on the White Sea.
That's it, lads! Stow the spyr wine.
We've got a tide to catch.
Wait. Where are we going?
Somewhere safer than here.
Ah! Put that in my cabin.
Before we leave, Captain,
there's something I need to tell you.
Here, boy. Meet Drew.
He's got Werepowers,
is the most wanted criminal in Lyssia,
and the rightful King of Westland.
- How did you know?
- Word travels quickly on the winds.
And the wanted posters
all over town were a giveaway.
Can you help me?
Can you teach me how to control my Wolf?
Of course,
and then when you storm Highcliff,
with my pirate fleet in full sail,
you can take from the Lions
what they took from you, with interest.
- But first, you should duck.
- Hm?
I'll pay you for the spyr wine next time.
I swear by the good name of Count Vega,
Pirate Lord of the Cluster Isles!
The locals get worse every year.
Yeah, you better run, Vega.
Wait till I see you again.
You won't know what's hit ya!
I am not wearing that,
bridesmaid or not. Ugh.
It's a small price to pay.
We can't ensure our safety,
our people's safety,
if we throw the Lions' hospitality
back in their faces.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Watch me.
Hm?
You're a Bearlord.
Duty and honor
is what our family name is built on.
You will do your duty!
The thought of wearing a dress like that
makes me want to
I did warn him not to eat the crab.
So, tell me, Drew.
When did your Wolf first emerge?
When my mother, she
I just need to control this curse
before I hurt someone.
Curse or gift, does it matter?
Being a Werelord
is like being a ship at sea.
You can fight the winds and tides
and end up crashing against the rocks,
or you can learn to master the elements
and use them to your advantage.
- Clear the rigging!
- Aye-aye, Captain!
I don't have a good feeling
about him, Drew.
He knew who we were in All Hallow's Bay.
He could've handed us in
to the Lion Troop, but he didn't.
Well
Maybe your doubting friend
should go below and read a book. Come on!
Hmph.
"Why don't you go below and read a book?"
Something he's obviously never done.
Father, it looks like I've steered us
into some Shark-infested waters.
I wish you were here.
You always knew what to do.
Being a Werelord is all about balance.
No, don't worry.
I believe in you,
like I believed in your father.
What was Wergar like? Whoa!
Focus.
You have the ability to choose
when the Wolf awakes.
- I really don't.
- You will do if you listen.
Now, come at me.
- Are we really gonna do this?
- A fine swordsman must be ready for--
Cheeky.
Ah!
Yes!
Let's make it easier for you.
You'll be defenseless.
Oh, will I?
Now, lad.
Show me what you've got!
- I can't do it.
- You can!
The only thing holding you back is fear.
Let the Wolf in, Drew.
Good!
Now we have a contest!
Whoa!
Knowing yourself is as important
as knowing your limits.
Some battles can't be won,
especially if your enemy is gravity.
Good lad.
Ugh.
I've come to see the Lady Whitley
in her pretty new dress.
You'll be disappointed.
You know, I don't think
I've ever seen you dressed for court.
I am a Bearlord, not a house cat.
Ah yes, too busy climbing trees
and catching rabbits.
Following the Rangers around
like a little stray.
Shaming your poor parents,
who just wanted you
to sit and sew, like your pretty cousin.
Isn't it time you made your family proud?
I am not a dress-up doll for Lions.
Oh, well. You don't need him then, do you?
No!
Actions have consequences, Lady Whitley.
Growing up on the farm,
I never dreamed I'd do things like this.
I remember a time your father
was stood right here on the way to Omir.
He had dreams enough for everyone.
Dreams of conquest and glory.
I had dreams too,
though they didn't work out.
But, while there's wind in my sails,
who knows when
opportunity will land in my lap.
- Hello?
- Father, can you hear me?
Hello?
Who's that talking?
Can you speak, Father?
I can't see anyone.
Please.
I need your guidance.
Son, are you calling me?
Right! That is it!
Wow!
Do you think you could teach me
to be a part of your crew?
No.
What?
You're destined for something other
than a life at sea.
But let me share
the most important lesson I've learned.
Lyssia is a dangerous and divided place.
You should never trust anyone.
Wait, the sun sets in the west.
Are we heading north?
We're skirting the doldrums,
then we'll tack west.
You leave the sailing to me.
Just relax and enjoy the cruise.
If this is a cruise,
I want a refund!
What?
Hmm.
Is this true?
- The tailor tripped and fell.
- That's a lie!
You dare accuse the prince?
You have to do something.
If my son says it was an accident,
then it was an accident.
- Your Majesty, I--
- Remember where you are, Bearlord.
What the kingdom needs is taming.
We are sick of the seven realms mewling
like cubs about injustice and honor.
So
After Lucas and Gretchen,
the next wedding will be
between Lady Whitley and Lord Vincent.
Do you have anything further to say,
Bear cub?
No, my king.
Gretchen? What are you doing here?
I'm here because
this pirate had his crew kidnap me
and lock me in a trunk!
Why would he do that?
This is a mistake, right?
I warned you not to trust anyone,
so why did you trust me?
Vega, where is this ship going?
Where the winds take us.
- I thought I'd found--
- What? A new father?
Wergar is long gone.
The age of the Wolf is over, Drew.
I'm sorry.
Do you really want to do this?
Drew!
Oi! That was my favorite blouse!
These masts don't just grow on trees,
you know. Well, they do, but
You're a fast learner.
Both of your fathers
would have been proud.
I should have listened to Hector.
- He's a smart boy.
- And you're just a common thief.
You came to me for lessons. Here's one.
You can't have everything you want.
Everything is a negotiation.
If you fight me, you'll only lose,
and both of your friends
will meet my less-civilized cousins.
Or you can surrender to the king
and see what fate has in store for you.
The choice is yours, Drew Ferran.
Get away from her!
Drew!
You don't want to do this, Drew!
All right, maybe you do.
Drew, it's me!
I'm your friend, Drew.
I'm with you.
I'll always be with you.
