Wolf Pack (2023) s01e03 Episode Script

Origin Point

1
MTV ♪
Run or you're gonna die.
There's a full moon coming.
All of them are bitten on the highway.
They're gonna need us.
- Neither of them had a scratch.
- Because they healed!
You wanna tell them
all the secrets that
could get us killed?
Now it's their secret, too.
This way.
You can see all the
canyons on this side.
How many times have you been up here?
- Once or twice.
- Is this safe?
Nope.
Why do you think there's
a hundred signs out there
telling us not to come in?
Stop being a bunch of pussies.
You can't say "pussy"
anymore, asshole. It's sexist.
But I'm gay and you can
talk about my asshole?
Holy shit.
Look.
It's the fucking apocalypse.
That's a fire line over there.
They've contained that part.
You see the stone ridges?
That's where they're
saying the origin point is.
Where one of us started the fire.
You really think it's one of us?
Everybody's saying it
was a kid from our school.
Probably someone sitting
on the bus with us.
I wasn't on that bus.
But you know a lot about
fire, don't you, Cyrus?
My dad was a fucking firefighter.
I know who it was.
You know who set the fire?
Well, I have a theory.
If it was definitely someone on the bus.
Well, it wasn't me.
No one's talking about you, Tia.
Literally no one ever talks about you.
Who's your suspect?
Blake Navarro.
Remember what she was
like last year, you guys?
Like, completely normal.
And then her parents get divorced
and she gets all anti-technology
and just fucking drops every
single one of her friends.
You mean you?
Okay, so you guys would
all be totally shocked
to see her on the news in handcuffs?
I kind of like that she
doesn't carry a cell phone.
She just doesn't give a fuck.
Okay, keep making my point, please.
Thank you.
Guess who else is gonna be on the news?
You as one of those dumb
fucks who died taking a selfie.
Wait, wait, wait.
- Do you hear that?
- Hear what?
Guys, there's someone below us.
Shit. Damn it.
Who the fuck shared their location?
If I don't, my parents
call the cops to find me.
Oh, shit.
Uh, we were just here to see the fire.
Now you're coming with us.
We got four of 'em.
- Why are they here?
- I don't know. I don't care.
- They were at the hospital.
- Please shut up.
Oh. W-what were they doing there?
Everett, you need to shut up.
Stop talking, stop
moving, stop everything.
Keep your fucking mouth shut.
No talking.
It's still the full moon.
What's his problem anyway?
I think he's got anxiety.
He's got something.
What if they're still trying to kill us?
What if they killed Connor?
- He was bitten too.
- Who's Connor?
Whispering is talking.
I'm sorry, but are we under arrest?
- Don't say that.
- Why not?
Because then they will arrest us.
It's a few questions, guys.
We're just trying to clear up
timelines and stuff like that.
Nobody's getting arrested.
Well, then how about
you call our parents?
Oh, shit, my parents. Oh, no.
Once we get there, how about
you call them yourselves?
- They're gonna kill me.
- Look, Everett, take this.
Is it a pill?
No. Try it.
No, no, no. No.
No. Like this.
We're here.
Altadena residents, check
in at the blue table.
La Cañada Flintridge, you're at the red.
If you are from North Glendale,
we do not have a check-in yet.
Line up at the sidewalk.
Again, Altadena residents,
check in at the blue table.
La Cañada Flintridge, you're at the red.
If you are from north Glendale,
line up at the sidewalk.
Easy.
Easy. Settle down, boy.
Settle down.
It's Luna, right?
Let's get this over with.
What's Tia doing here?
You know what doesn't look good
on a college application, Tia?
- A criminal record.
- It wasn't my idea.
I didn't even know we were going.
You do not have a check-in yet.
Line up at the sidewalk.
She needs her medications.
Is there a hospital
I should bring her to?
Follow me.
Miller.
I can't believe you
left our fucking dog.
I need a new prescription.
No, I didn't finish it.
It went up in flames like
the rest of my goddamn house.
I said five beds. Two
adults, three kids.
We need five.
No. The others are still
answering questions.
Because the cops said four teenagers
were seen at the origin of the fire.
Okay. Can you can you help Nana?
Keep movin'.
You got a problem?
Just you.
Sit down.
Phoebe. Hey, Phoebe.
- What'd they ask you?
- About the fire.
You know, they think it's one of us.
What'd you tell them?
That I think it was you.
Hey, Harlan, steal
anyone's boyfriend lately?
Just yours.
She was fucking with me, right?
We should ask for a lawyer.
You know what happens when we do that?
They arrest us.
I'm not getting arrested.
Sorry, but if I have to,
I'm telling them everything
they want to know.
Everything?
We need a story.
Something simple. We all stick to it.
Like we were working on a
school project or something?
No. Jesus, Luna.
- Like we were smoking weed.
- But that's a crime.
Which makes it sound like
we're telling the truth.
Nobody gives a shit
about a couple of kids
smoking in the woods.
I don't smoke weed.
I tried edibles once and all it did
was make my anxiety worse.
- So you're that guy?
- Pretty much.
Hey. Did you tell them?
- Tell them what?
- What you saw on the highway.
I didn't see shit.
Why is your heart beating so fast?
That guy? That's your type?
Fuck off.
Everett Lang. You're up.
Let's go.
Thanks, Miller. We got it from here.
It's a white noise machine.
Keep the distractions out.
I know. My therapist uses one.
Mine too.
Everett, your friend Connor is missing.
It, uh, looks like he pulled
his leg right out of this cast
which, I imagine, was not easy to do.
Must have been in quite a hurry.
What do you mean missing?
No one can seem to find him
and he's not answering his phone.
In other words, missing.
His parents are
understandably concerned.
They have no idea why
he would just leave
the hospital like that.
Yeah. Kind of like what
you did the other night.
Do you think Connor had
anything to do with the fire?
No. He-he would never
do anything like that.
Do you know someone who
would do something like that?
Wait, you guys are
looking for him, right?
Like, to make sure he's okay?
Actually, Everett,
let's get back to you.
We have a witness who can place you
and Blake Navarro and
Harlan and Luna Briggs
very close to the point
of origin of the fire.
Earlier today. This
stone ridge right here.
Can you tell me what you
guys were doing there?
Same thing everyone does there.
We were smoking.
- Smoking what?
- Weed.
- How often do you smoke?
- Like, barely ever.
And what exactly were you smoking?
- Weed.
- Right.
Pipe? Joint? Blunt?
An edible.
You were smoking an edible?
Everett, just say that we
smoked and you took an edible.
Fucking please.
They smoked. I took an edible.
Did you hear that?
Everett, can you hear me?
Yes.
Yes what?
Yes. That's all we were doing.
Harlan
- I can hear you too.
- Holy shit.
You can hear what I'm saying right now?
- So can I.
- Oh, my God.
This is fucking amazing.
Everett. Listen to me.
I'm gonna tell you exactly what to say.
Everett, are you all right?
Why do you keep asking about me?
Something happened to Connor
and you need to find him.
I understand your concern.
We have local PD out looking for him.
But it does make me wonder.
Is there a reason Connor
might not want to be found?
Everett, forget about Connor.
Answer the questions so we
can get the hell out of here.
Who you talkin' to?
No one.
You mean no one on the
other side of this wall?
You want to talk?
- Talk to me.
- I want a lawyer.
Shit, Everett.
You're not under arrest.
Okay, fine.
Then I-I want to talk to my parents.
Go ahead. Give 'em a call.
Can I get a lawyer instead?
You struggle with some
pretty bad anxiety, don't you?
Yeah, you could say that.
Used to hit me the hardest
right before I went to sleep.
Do you know why that happens?
Um, something to do with survival.
It's a threat response.
Right before we go to sleep,
our brain goes into a
state of hypervigilance
because back when we
were living in caves,
sleep was the time we were most likely
to get eaten by saber-toothed tiger.
So now we lie in bed
staring at the ceiling,
feeling that anxiety
race through our bodies
because we're waiting to
be attacked by a predator
that hasn't existed in 10,000 years.
Okay, well, I'm not worried
about a saber-toothed tiger.
What are you worried about, Everett?
What keeps you up at night?
I'm not talking to any of you.
- I want a lawyer.
- Fine.
Let's go get you a lawyer.
Get your ass up.
- Let's go.
- Get your
Hey!
And you just assaulted a police officer.
That's not what I saw.
Get your hands off my son, officer,
or we will have a
conversation about assault.
Yes, of course. I told
them my dad's a lawyer.
I want names and badge
numbers. I'm calling the DA.
They can't get away with this shit.
You're coming home, right?
It's the weekend, Dad.
No. I'm obviously not coming home.
Careful, sweetheart.
Shit. Wait. Dad, hold on.
Unbelievable.
Dad, I got a flat tire.
I think someone slashed it.
I'm coming to pick you up.
- What the fuck?
- Phoebe?
Phoebe!
Phoebe, what's going on?
Dad, the tires are flat.
Which ones?
All of them.
Mr. Briggs.
Mr. Briggs.
- Are you the one in charge?
- Kristin Ramsey.
We're very glad you're okay.
You're not talking to my
kids without a lawyer present.
- My lawyer.
- Fine.
- Call him in.
- Her.
And unless you're charging
someone with a crime,
they are free to go, right?
Not if we arrest them.
Uh, Mr. Briggs, we were just
asking the kids a couple questions.
They were kind enough to volunteer.
Not me.
I didn't volunteer for shit.
Dad.
What?
Dad, they need to come with us.
- Why?
- Mr. Briggs.
- Because
- Mr. Briggs.
Because they're like us.
But then the bite
healed and so did hers,
except Connor's didn't look
the same and it didn't heal.
- Who's Connor?
- My friend.
He called me from the hospital
and said something
was trying to kill him
just like the voice
on the phone told us.
And now nobody can find him.
You have no idea who called you?
He knew my name.
Told me to leave the hospital.
He said it was gonna try and kill me
before the next full moon.
Um, where are we going?
You're coming back with us.
I have to get back to the motel.
We have to talk first.
I'll take you both
wherever you need to go,
but I need to hear the whole story.
Whatever the two of
you saw on the highway,
whatever bit you
came after me too.
Did you see it?
I don't know what I saw.
Something hit the truck and I ran.
That's what pushed
you over the fire line.
Was it him?
Was it our real father?
Hey, can somebody tell me
why we're not arresting
those little shits?
Because I don't think they set the fire.
So how come every word out of their
mouths sounds like a fuckin' lie?
Well, first of all, they're teenagers.
All they do is lie.
Second, they probably
are hiding something.
Just might not have
anything to do with the fire.
Well, maybe you should
have pushed harder.
Five minutes in a room with them,
I'd have had a confession.
Hey, Miller, your shift is over.
You're done.
I'll see you at the bar. Come on.
Officer, speaking of pushing,
if I see you so much as lay a hand
on one of those kids again,
you're off the task force.
Yeah.
You know, we have questions too.
I wish I had the answers.
To be honest, we don't know
much more about this than you.
Well, what about them?
Haven't they been, like
You can say it.
I'm not saying it.
You're gonna have to say it eventually.
You're like us now.
I'm definitely not like you.
I need to talk with these
guys alone for a minute.
Don't go anywhere. Okay?
Guys.
You shouldn't have checked
yourself out of the hospital.
I'm fine.
Listen to me.
Blake's right. They're not like you.
They were bitten.
The rules could be
completely different for them.
I said the same thing.
We don't know what's
gonna happen to them
on the night of a full moon.
But nothing's ever happened
to us on a full moon.
I wouldn't say nothing.
It was a full moon
the night I found you.
What are you guys feeling right now?
Anything different?
When Everett was being questioned,
we were in separate rooms,
but we could hear each other.
Like, we could all hear each other.
You mean the way Harlan can hear?
It's like we were sharing it.
It's because we're a
pack. We're connected.
We're not connected.
- Okay? We barely even know them.
- Was it just the hearing?
Did you guys see anything
or sense anything else about them?
Our eyes.
When we were together for the first time
in the woods, our eyes were glowing.
Glowing? Jesus.
Okay. Anything else?
Like what?
I don't know.
Are you trying to ask us
if we think they're gonna
turn into actual werewolves?
Like, grow fangs and hair
and run around in the woods
and kill some fucking deer?
If they do, let's hope
that's all they kill.
We have never killed anything before.
You've never had a pack before.
- He's not answering.
- Hmm?
He's not answering.
I can't wait any longer.
I gotta go see if I can find him.
Um
Well
It's still the full moon.
Maybe we should stay.
I mean, if it's really
coming after us
I don't want to be anywhere near Danny.
So you're starting to
believe all of this now?
No.
But
What?
He called me too. The
voice on the phone.
He left me a message on the motel phone.
What did he say?
He said, "You're not safe."
But I've been thinking,
what if the message wasn't meant for me?
What if it was meant
for my dad and Danny?
That they're not safe?
From me.
Tell that bitch
I just drove three miles on rims.
She thinks she can slash my tires
and just walk away?
Absolutely not. I am
gonna fucking ruin her.
Why is she calling me?
Because she doesn't have a phone.
You didn't really slash
her tires, did you?
How could she? She's
been here the whole time.
Does anyone have Phoebe's address?
- I do.
- Text me.
Okay.
Don't ask.
You slept with her
boyfriend in her own house?
He said don't ask.
Now, Everett, Blake, I want
you two to call your parents
and tell them you're
staying with us tonight.
- But
- I'm grounded.
I'm supposed to watch my brother.
Okay. Then give me 20 minutes.
Just gotta check if this girl's okay.
Lock everything behind me.
- What about Connor?
- What about us?
20 minutes.
Sorry, but I have another question.
The voice on the phone
said it had to kill us
before the next full moon.
Does that mean we're okay now?
Is it supposed to kill
us before the full moon,
during the full moon,
or when the sun rises?
How are we supposed to know?
Because you're
Twins?
Our senses are turned
up during the full moon.
In the morning, we're back to normal.
So we're not safe yet?
We've still got the rest of the night?
To die.
It's okay. Nothing's out there.
You sure?
Hey, how much can you actually hear?
It depends. It's better on a full moon.
- What else can you do?
- What do you mean?
Like, your hearing.
Is there anything else you can do?
She can run fast. Like, really fast.
Good for her.
He's strong.
How strong?
I kind of put my fist
through a support beam.
It was big.
Yeah. What about you?
Smell.
That's kind of gross.
Yeah.
Can be.
Wait, so is it like we
each have one ability?
I don't get it.
When we were with the cops,
you could all hear like me.
Maybe it's like when
we're together we sync up.
It's because we're
connected. We're a pack.
Enough of the pack shit, Luna.
Can you two still hear like me?
Wait, let me try something.
I put on a high-frequency tone.
I don't hear anything. Do you?
Turn it off, please.
Oh.
- Wait.
- You hear something?
- No.
- You smell something?
There's something out there.
I got that too.
It smells like
Acid.
That's exactly what it smells like.
What?
Anger.
- Don't open it.
- Why?
You don't know who's out there.
I'm pretty sure the werewolf
wouldn't bother knocking
before he comes to rip us apart.
You said "werewolf."
Go fuck yourself.
This is Officer Trent
Miller with the LAPD.
I need to ask a few follow-up questions.
Isn't that the guy you assaulted?
- He assaulted me.
- His name's Trent?
I know you're in there.
I could see you through the windows.
Just here to talk.
You don't have to talk to him.
- He knows we're here.
- It doesn't matter.
If you tell the cops they can't come in,
they legally can't.
You can't come in.
That's fine by me.
Let's talk out here.
Five minutes, guys. That's all I need.
Come on. Open the door.
Go into the office down the hall.
I don't want this guy
to know you're here.
- What are you gonna do?
- I'm thinking.
Go!
We're all on the same side here.
We're all just trying to figure out
- Go.
- Who started the fire.
We'll never bother you again.
Promise.
Are you still feeling it?
- The full moon?
- Uh, yeah.
Definitely still feeling it.
Did you set the fire?
I told you. I don't know anything.
Let's try that again.
Did you set the fire?
- Dude. Get your hands
- Mother
No, Dad, he's outside.
He's talking to him right now.
Yeah, it's the same cop.
Okay. I'm on my way back.
Did the cop say anything?
He said he just wanted
to ask some questions.
Did you set the fire?
Tell me
the fucking truth!
The cop. It took the fucking cop.
- What?
- It's outside.
It's right outside the house.
Dad. Dad, did you hear that?
- Harlan!
- What do we do?
Can you get to the stable outside?
What's in the stable?
Harlan, listen to me,
it's ten steps from the kitchen door.
You can make it.
I need you to get the rifle.
The rifle in your office?
Not that one. It's in the stable.
But the rifle's in the
gun case in the office.
This one is different.
I'll explain later.
It's in the supply cabinet
in the stable, all right?
Go.
I don't hear them.
Luna?
- We gotta get out of here.
- Okay. What about the cop?
We'll go out the back door.
What about Harlan and Luna?
They don't seem to be too
concerned about us right now.
Okay, but what if it's still out there?
There's nothing out there, Everett.
If you want to stay,
fine. But I'm going.
Don't leave the house.
- Who are you?
- You're almost safe.
The moon is past its peak.
Are you watching us?
Is it still trying to kill us?
Don't leave the house.
All right, tactical
case. Supply cabinet.
- You see it?
- Harlan.
What's the combination?
Dad, how do you open the case?
The combination!
All right, it's six numbers.
- Luna, are you listening?
- Yeah.
34, 21
16, 42, 26, 32.
- Luna.
- Huh?
What's the combination?
- Luna.
- Harlan, can you hear me?
I think he said not to leave the house.
You think we're safe in there?
We're not safe anywhere.
Blake.
Wh-why
why didn't it kill me?
Maybe that's not what it wants.
Not anymore.
Then what the fuck does it want?
Well, why would it try and
kill us at Blake's house?
And now it just takes off?
Because we're connected.
We're part of its pack.
Are you okay?
What happened?
These are silver.
Real silver.
Yes.
You made these?
Yes.
To kill werewolves?
Yes.
To kill us?
Yes.
When I found the two of you
You were both cubs.
I saw that thing up close.
- It's not gonna kill us?
- It's protecting us.
Werewolf!
