Wolfblood (2012) s01e05 Episode Script

Occam's Razor

- You're like me! - Rhydian! You're on the brink of transforming.
I don't know who Maddy is any more.
You banged your head, Shan.
You were sucking up all them fumes.
I KNOW what I saw! Why would she think that? She supposedly saw you "turn" in the fire.
I couldn't sleep the night before my first transformation either.
I feel like I'm about to explode.
There's nothing to be scared of.
You'll be right here with us.
The island of Lindisfarne, as I express in my book, Resources And Religion On Medieval Lindisfarne, has always been a sanctuary.
A magic safe haven, as it is cut off from the outside world for most of the day.
Which is why we have timed our visit so carefully.
Maddy, Rhydian! Come on, how old are you? Calm down! What's up with you, Mads? Nothing.
I'm just excited.
What's everyone doing when we get back? Mum's just hatched some chicks.
You have to see them.
- Sorry, Shan.
- I'm going round Maddy's.
- Oh, yeah? - Mum's making a family tree.
Finding out about Rhydian's side of the family.
All the black sheep! Race yer! OK.
Come on, everyone! Chop-chop! Off we go! Lindisfarne Castle was built around 1550, using stones from the abandoned monastery.
Which may explain why the castle is haunted! Imagine you're a Lindisfarne monk.
Armed men are riding down the causeway to attack.
You run inside the monastery.
A place of safety, a sacred place.
No-one would DARE harm you there.
You lock yourselves inside.
But you've only trapped yourselves.
You have to GET OUT! That night in the cellar's not looking too good now, is it? It's going to be horrible! I don't know how my parents do it.
How are WE going to do it? They're up here! You two missed the best bit! Monks getting their heads chopped off, it was brilliant! Ah, there you are Oh, dear we're rather high up here, aren't we? ErmI got a bit carried away down there.
I'm sorry.
- It wasn't you, Miss.
- Claustrophobia.
I understand that.
Imagination is far more powerful than the logical brain.
We know there's no danger, stood on a roof, or being in a crowded room, but still So what do we do, Miss? When we need to go into some place, and instinct tells you it's too scary to even try? If I knew the answer to that, Maddy, I would feel a lot better stood on this roof! See you downstairs when you're ready.
Didn't know claustrophobia was catching.
OK, people.
The questions cover the castle, the lime kilns, together with the church and the priory.
So for those of you who have been paying attention, this should be very easy.
And there is a prize for the most correct answers.
And remember to be back at the minibus by five o'clock without fail, or we WILL miss the tide.
- Come on! - It's not a race, mate! Right, we know questions 12 to 15, so we just need to answer three questions in the village, two in the lime kilns, four in the priory and two on the beach.
OK, then you two take the church and the village and we'll do the rest.
Sorted! - We're a team.
We're not supposed to be - Jeffries doesn't care how we get the answers, as long we do.
And if we finish fast enough, we'll have time for ice cream! Oh, yeah, brilliant! So, we'll meet you both at the priory later, yeah? This would be a brilliant place to spend full moon.
Here? Yeah, on an island.
What could be safer? Running on the beaches, playing in the ruins.
It would be amazing.
Solet's do it! Rhydian, I can't.
My parents are expecting us home.
To share their cosy little den.
This is my first transformation.
I want to be with my family.
And you promised you'd spend full moon with us, so there's nothing else to talk about, is there? And isn't it convenient, Rhydian staying at her place? I think he knows the truth about her.
Don't start that again, Shan! Didn't you see that smirky knowing looking when he mentioned the black sheep in their family? So what are you saying? There's two of them now? Don't be stupid.
Rhydian's only just got here.
Our beast has been around for years.
Have you heard of Occam's Razor? The thing with the swivel head and four blades? It's a scientific principle.
It says that the simplest explanation is always right, even if it sounds crazy.
And I know what I saw in the lab during the fire.
- You're off your head, Shan! - Have you got a better theory? Yes.
We're teenagers.
And when a boy and a girl spend too much time together Tom, they're cousins! They can't be dating! Yeah, distant cousins, Shan.
They might as well not be related at all.
Well, they're related enough for him to know her secret.
Idiots, ahoy! What you doing, Jimi? Stealing the crabs' lunch money? They haven't got any.
They're feeling the pinch! I tell you what I'll settle for your worksheet answers.
Help yourself.
It's blank.
Go fetch, Leek Boy! On your way! Go and get it, Leek Boy.
- Good throw, Jimi! - Cheers, mate.
What's he going up there for? Good luck with that! He's kind of an idiot.
I'm going to watch him fall.
Look at him! Come on, Rhydian.
We don't have time for this.
Yeah, listen to her.
He's going to fall! Rhydian! Rhydian! Don't move him! He might have broken a bone! Just go get help! Go! - - Are you OK? - Where does it hurt? - My ankle.
Surprise, surprise.
No Rhydian, no Maddy.
Probably smooching on the beach somewhere.
Right, we have two competing theories.
One, they're dating, and two, she's What we need is evidence.
From now on, we stick to them like glue.
On the bus, at school, after school.
Everywhere they go, we're there.
Either we'll find evidence, or they'll get so fed up with us they have to start talking.
Agreed? Agreed.
You need to get to the bus and off the island.
And leave you on your own? - I won't be on my own.
One of the teachers will stay with me.
The other will get you home before the moon rises.
You can't transform with a teacher staying with you! I'll be fine.
Just get off the island while you still can! I'm not going anywhere.
I going to make sure you get through this.
Maddy, if you want to transform with your parents, you HAVE TO go now.
I can't leave you here! Rhydian's hurt! He fell off a roof! Keep everyone on the coach! Tom, Shannon, sit down! But, Miss! Let Mr Jeffries deal with it.
Maddy, I'm fine.
Go! - She has to go home, sir.
- It's alright.
Don't worry.
We're all going to get home tonight.
Don't you worry about that.
OK, it doesn't appear to be broken.
- Jimi, take his other arm.
- Butthe tide, sir! It's all right.
I told you all to be back at the bus 15 minutes early.
If we hurry up, we can still make it.
Maddy, come on! - OK, you all right? - Yeah.
OK, up you go.
Up you go.
It's all right, everyone, don't panic.
You OK? You all right? In, Jimi! In! Get us moving! All right.
Just calm down, everyone.
Everyone calm down.
Sir! Next low tide, midnight?! There's no way out tonight.
Quiet! Quiet, please! I've spoken to the head teacher, and we've taken the decision that we are going to stay here overnight and go back first thing in the morning.
Luckily, the hotel can squeeze us all inyay! But it's going to be three or four to a room.
So gather your things, please and we'll allocate you a room.
Operation Stick Like Glue? Yeah, right! We've lost Maddy already! Rhydian can't walk, we're stuck on an island, and my best mate already thinks I'm the Beast of Stoneybridge Moor! Look.
Don't panic.
Rhydian will be fine once he transforms.
The full moon heals almost anything in a Wolfblood.
But you'll both have to have to be out of the village by 8:30.
I wish we'd never come here.
I'd give anything to be back at home.
Maybe we could get to you by boat.
How would you explain that to the teachers? And you don't get here by 8:30, unless you can paddle with your paws! Maddy, you and Rhydian are going to have to think your way out of this.
You're on your own now, pet.
'But whatever you, do make sure you get out of the village in time.
' Not exactly luxurious, but if you really can't manage the stairs I'll be fine, miss.
Thanks.
Private room.
Job done! Can I, er, give you a hand with that? Yeah.
Cool! There you go, girls.
So I'll go in there? No, that's reserved for another guest.
You'll have to go in with the Ks.
Off you go! Go on! Oh, look, it's Rhydian's girlfriend! - I'm not his girlf - He fell because he was showing off to you! - So it's your fault we're stranded in with no PJs.
- No cleansers.
And no clean underwear! It's not my Oh, great! It's Allergy Girl! Hey, Mads! Sam says there's a games room downstairs.
Let's have a look.
I think we should complain.
Poor animals.
Maddy? Where've you been? I couldn't get rid of Shannon.
Yeah, Tom was in here being all matey.
How will you get out without people missing you? Shannon'll think I'm with the 3Ks.
I'll tell the 3Ks I've moved into Shannon's room.
She'll think I'm with them, they'll think I'm with her.
Simples.
Then I'll help get you out.
Help me? Oh, my leg.
Yeah, I really wouldn't worry about that.
Mam says it'll heal once you transform.
We both need to get out of the village by 8:30.
OK, we leave separately.
Meet at the boat sheds? OK.
Look, it'll be OK.
I've done this loads of times.
Twice.
OK, twice.
But it'll be all right, Maddy.
I'll look after you.
The Ghost Dog of Lindisfarne.
Only last year, a young couple wandering near Lindisfarne Castle came across the entrance to the abandoned lime kilns.
Inside, they heard a strange, unearthly howling.
Thinking there was dog that had got trapped in one of the tunnels, foolishly, went inside to investigate.
Little did they know, they were entering the lair, of the ghostly White Dog of Lindisfarne.
And they were never going to come out.
The next day, their friends searched for them.
But the couple had disappeared.
All they found were their mobile phones.
On one there was a recording.
A terrible snarling and screams, as if the couple had been attacked by some sort of monster.
Officially, the case remains unsolved.
Unofficially, they blame the white dog of Lindisfarne.
All right! Who's got another ghost story? I do.
Oh, Shannon! On the moors above Stoneybridge .
.
something roams.
Something that, on the night of the full moon, is seized by impulses it can't control and it becomes a beast.
- I'm just going to the - Oh, me too! - What's wrong with you? - Nothing! You've been following me like James Bond on a mission! We're just hanging out.
That's what mates do.
If you were really my friend, you'd just back off and give me some space! No cleanser, no toner.
My skin's going to end up worse than yours! Where are you going? I'mmoving to Shannon's room.
Good riddance.
Don't want you geeking up our room, anyway.
Maddy! Maddy! Maddy! Maddy? Oh, noa geek convention.
Maddy? She's moved into your room, lamebrain! No, she hasn't.
- Going somewhere, Tom? - No, sir.
I was just going What happened to your limp? You fell off that roof deliberately! You didn't hurt yourself! You wanted to spend another night here, didn't you! I told you to get on the bus, didn't I? I thought you were badly hurt! I wasn't going to abandon you! I made sure there was enough time for you to get home.
If you wouldn't get on the bus, that's not my fault, is it? All I wanted was to spend my first transformation with my family, - and you've gone and ruined it! - All right, it was stupid.
But you know what it's like, that instinct to be free.
We're more than just instincts! Yeah, but it's wrong to lock ourselves up over full moon! You know that, I know that! We shouldn't be afraid of who we are! I know.
Come on, race you! Maddy's disappeared.
Guess what? Rhydian's legged it too.
That's it.
I'm going to find them, and I'm going to get some answers.
- Coming? - Oh, yes! You know that ghost story Miss Fitzgerald told? I don't think that was a ghost.
It's the full moon.
Maddy's changed.
You're kidding.
You've got to be kidding, right? Shannon! She's on the beach! Let's go! It's the lime kilns! The HAUNTED lime kilns? The White Dog of Lindisfarne lime kilns? We've got her now.
Come on! Look, see? There's nothing here! Great.
Can we go now, please? Paw prints! Come on, Tom.
Is this a good idea? Don't be such a baby! It's cold and darklook, we need to go.
There's nothing here, Shan.
It's wet! This way.
Do we have to? What was that? Relax! Did you hear that? We've got her now! Please, Shan, let's go! There's nothing here.
What's that noise? It's the ghost dog! There's no such thing as ghosts.
What do you think knocked us over, Shan? - It was Maddy.
- Huh? You saw it, right? Anyone not in bed in 30 seconds gets extra homework! Where were you last night? - What? - Shannon has this idea You were there, Tom.
You know I'm right.
Right about what? Maddy was out all night.
And you went with her.
We followed the sound of the howling to the lime kiln, and there was something there.
- We think - YOU think! I think Maddy changed last night.
Became something else.
And you know about it.
What are you talking about? Something knocked Tom over, and it wasn't human.
Well, it could've have been a dog.
A fox? Could have been a bunch of local kids who thought you were that ghost dog.
It could have been anything! Then where was Maddy all night? Well, I've got an idea.
Let's ask her.
Fine! Open up! Go away, loser! I'm coming in! - No! - Don't come in! We don't have any makeup on! Where's Maddy? - Don't ask us! - Haven't seen her all night! Boys! Get them out! Ohthere you are.
You didn't think I was going to share with them, did you? I sneaked downstairs.
Spent the night on the sofa.
We can still hear you! Where did you go with Rhydian last night? Me and Rhydian went on a walk.
His leg was hurting.
I can smell bacon.
Does anyone want to come for breakfast? Me! I could eat a whole pig! You coming? Home sweet home.
OK, come on.
Sir? You never gave out the prize for the worksheet.
That is a very good point, Jimi.
I tell you what, let's call it a draw.
Everybody wins.
Take one and hand them out.
Save one for Miss Fitzgerald.
They are SO going out.
They're lying.
They have to be! You know there was something out there.
Rhydian was right.
It was probably just a stray dog.
- Tom! - It was dark.
All those ghost stories.
Use your Occam's Razor thing.
Simplest explanation wins.
Rhydian disappeared, Maddy disappeared.
They're dating.
Simplest explanation, right? Maybe That was amazing.
I SO get it now.
Being a Wolfblood is going to be so great! Come on.
She's the beast! When she was dancing, her eyes turned yellowy like in the fire! Maddy, who dressed you this morning? Lady Gaga? Who dressed you this morning, sir? Your grandma? I'm seeing things I've never seen in her before.
- Hey, how's it going? - Kay wants to know if you want to come to her birthday party.
- Shannon's certain you're a werewolf! - I'm not, I'm a Wolfblood! I should man up and ask her out! - That's a terrible idea! - You are a freak! I'm sorry, Shannon.
