Wolfblood (2012) s02e06 Episode Script

The Mottled Poppy

- Ow! - Present from Shannon.
It's the wise old owl, keeping a watchful eye on all Wolfbloods.
- Did Alric send you after me? - Where is he? You're no daughter of mine.
Why has it always got to be about packs? Come on, Maddy, she's one of us.
We've packed Rhydian's stuff.
He's moving back in with his foster parents.
"I Left My Heart In san Francisco.
" "Don't Break My Heart.
" "Heartbreaker!" "You Took My Heart!" "I Knew I Couldn't Trust You.
" That's not a song title.
Silverstein.
Err, she's right, actually.
It wasn't our fault, love.
No.
Social services made that decision.
Cheer up, pet.
Don't let it ruin our day out.
Rhydian wanted to come.
He has to re-acquaint himself with the Vaughns.
He can come for Sunday lunch tomorrow.
How's that? Your turn, Daniel.
"I Gotta Feeling" that we've taken the wrong turn Two for one on all bags of sweets.
Special offer, next to potato peelers.
- Result! - You going somewhere nice? - Blackpool.
- We're going to go on the big dipper.
Biggest in the country.
Morning.
Got ourselves a bit lost.
- Not got sat nav then? - Never had to use it.
Me neither.
Let's have a look I think we took a wrong turn by the A66.
What on Earth will they think of next? - Is it electronic? - No it's a local thing.
- Will you excuse me? - Is everything all right? The pump's playing up.
Overcharging.
Let me sort it out.
Have some coffee.
On the house.
You'll never guess what.
The poppy changed colour! Is it broken? I think it's just not so smart any more.
Strange how much you all depend on those.
If want to know what the weather is, I look at the sky.
In the natural world.
But in the human world, if you really want to fit in, this is where you start.
I prefer the natural world.
- Let's go to the Howling Tree.
- Where? It's a place I found.
Come on I don't understand it.
This car is like a tank, it always starts.
Why's he not answering? Maybe his phone's died.
- Give it a rest, love.
- What? You're here with your friends, and all you can do is text Rhydian.
- So? - So is he your boyfriend then? What? No.
Could have fooled me.
It wasn't social services at all, was it? It was you and Dad! Look, Rhydian's a nice lad, but he's not our lad.
He's in our pack, not our family.
We just didn't want you two getting too close.
So you thought you'd just chuck him out and not talk to me about it? We did what we thought was best, for both of you.
I bet you've been planning it for weeks.
Talking to the Vaughns and social services - and you never said a word.
- We didn't want to upset you.
And how do you think I feel now?! It's the alternator.
Is that serious? Well, you can't drive without one.
I've got spare parts at home.
There could be one there.
We couldn't possibly ask you to I'm closing up now anyway.
- But but - Bob Driscoll.
Daniel Smith.
Emma.
Right wait there, I'll get my keys.
What an incredibly nice fella.
The Howling Tree.
That was amazing.
What's wrong? Is everything all right? I can never go back, can I? Didn't have a choice, not after the way your dad behaved.
Rhydian, when I arrived I the thing is, my father didn't throw me out.
- What? - He told me to come here and bring you back.
- So you were lying to me? - I'm sorry.
- The whole time? - I didn't know he'd betray us both.
Why? Why would you do that? If I didn't, I knew you wouldn't come.
Don't hate me, please.
Your world is all I've got now.
If I'm going to live here, you had to know the truth.
A broken down car, a spooky house Isn't this how horror movies start? Garage business is going well.
My wife Mary's the housekeeper.
Before Lord Harfire left us, he put a clause in the will protecting her job.
It's been in her family for generations.
Mary, dear, here's the waifs and strays.
You poor things, breaking down like that.
We'll have you back on the road in no time.
Come on.
This way.
Come on.
Coats? That's it.
Thank you.
Coat? Oh Don't want you to get a chill when you go back out again.
That's it.
In here.
I love a nice fire.
Don't you? Actually, I'm a bit hot.
Yes, me too.
Does that old gun work? Oh, yes.
It's a blunderbuss.
What does it fire? Shot, musket balls anything, really.
It's the traditional Harfire hunting gun.
Though it hasn't been used since the last Lord Harfire was taken away.
Arrested? No, no.
To a home.
They thought he was mad.
But he wasn't.
Mr Driscoll, could we have a look at that car now? Of course.
I could use the bathroom.
Me too.
Follow me.
Wait.
Can you see it? What? There.
So there used to be a rug, let go.
Ah! It's the rug.
She must've hidden it before we arrived.
What are you saying, Shan? Everywhere is worn except for where that was.
- They'd only move it if they knew.
- Knew? Knew you were Wolfbloods.
Aren't you getting a bit carried away, Shannon? It's like you've taken one and one and made seven.
There's something not right about this place.
Come and see the picture in the hall.
Please don't be angry.
I wanted you back.
Your mother wanted you back.
Father promised me you'd come to no harm.
You are not being fair.
The other day, I chose you.
I chose you over my kin, my pack, my life.
It's ok, I'm sorry.
Every day, Wolfbloods keep our secret from the world.
But we can't do that if there's secrets between us.
That's why I told you! And I'm glad you did.
But from now on - No more lies.
- You read my mind.
Thank you.
Can I ask you something? Sure.
Maddy's parents, they've lived amongst humans for ever.
Yeah? So every full moon, when they're wolf, how is it they've never been caught? Well, since we're sharing secrets I'll show you.
That looks like a Wolfblood hunter to me.
Look at the corner.
There in the dark.
Look, even if it was real, it's ancient history, Shan.
So So you think that rug under the seats is just a coincidence? Look, I'll get my phone, go online and we'll check this place out.
I'm getting Dad.
What are we going to do? Find our coats.
Dad? This place is starting to freak me out.
What's she doing? Some sort of analysis On our coats? I think there's a hair in there.
Fascinating.
Can we go? Before we end up being analysed.
So, Jana, this is the den.
Their own secret bolt hole.
They run wild in a cellar? Don't knock it till you've tried it.
Make yourself comfortable.
They have a big stack of meat in the fridge, I'll go see what's there.
Maddy? Hello? Can I help you? Sorry, I was just looking for everyone.
Can I help you with anything? No, no, you relax, make yourself at home.
I'll bring the tea.
Is it herbal? Just a little local tradition.
Sweet herbs and rose petals.
We put it in cream.
You go and get cosy.
Ok.
Tom? Shan? There you are.
Mum, you have to see this.
What? In here.
Where is he? Where's Mads? Where's my laptop? You find Daniel, I'll find Maddy and her mum.
I'm sure there's an alternator here somewhere.
Tea? Thanks, I'm parched.
It's our own special blend.
Lovely.
And some home-made cake.
"Harfire Hall, home to The Legend of The Mottled Poppy.
" Isn't that's what the petrol station was called? "Dating from the Middle Ages, the legend says that poppies "grown on the estate are capable of detecting Werewolves.
" "When the spots appear, the wolf is near.
" Lord Harfire was a Wolfblood hunter.
And that room with the fire? They had a wolf rug in there and hid it under a chair.
Mam, they know what we are.
Right, grab the coats.
I can't! They've gone.
Gone where? Well, we're leaving anyway.
How? The car isn't working.
We'll stay together till it is working.
Save that, we'll show your dad.
Mam? "Effects of the full moon.
" "The ability to transform at will.
" "Wolfsbane and its side effects.
" Look, video files.
These are all our secrets! You lying sneak! All this time, acting like a Wolfblood's best friend, you've been spying on us?! It's to protect you! Sooner or later, people will find out.
Who knows what lies they'll spread? That tells the truth.
We're not your lab rats, Shannon! I didn't mean any harm! I'd forgotten the camera was even there.
Oh, really?! Then what's this "live link?" It's old! - That's our den.
- What is she doing in my house?! All of you.
Everywhere I look.
All of you! You're just lying! You're just lying all of the time.
Maddy not here.
Maddy! Is everything all right? I thought I heard shouting.
Yes.
Fine.
How do you like your tea? Actually, we really need to be getting going.
The car's not fixed yet.
We'll call the breakdown services.
Your husband said it's almost done.
You relax.
I'll be mother.
So, where's that nice young man? I insist.
We're not hungry.
Or thirsty.
Just a taste, I'd really love to know what you think.
Where's my husband? With mine.
Really.
There's no need to be uncivil.
I'm sorry.
It's just we really need to be going.
There's a family crisis at home.
It's not personal.
Very well.
Follow me.
Daniel.
Mr Smith.
This is where Bob keeps all his old spare car parts.
I expect they're looking for one now.
Bob.
The family have some sort of crisis and they need to leave.
Have you found the spare part in there? Yes.
Daniel's looking at it now.
After you.
Off you go.
Go on.
- Daniel.
- Tom! We know what you are.
And after next week's full moon, so will the world.
You're insane, you evil witch! As the press gather to see you change.
Change into what? We're just people, like you! You're not people, you're beasts.
When the spots appear, the wolf is near.
Deny it all you want.
The moon will reveal all.
Wait! Listen to me! I'm not one of them.
I'm a werewolf hunter like you.
Just look.
See? I've been gathering evidence, pretending to be their friend.
Pass it through the bars.
No way.
You're not walking off with my evidence.
I've been gathering data for years.
- Shan? What are you doing? - Please.
They will kill me and they will destroy all of this.
Shannon! You traitor! Let us out of here! Let us out! Come closer.
You don't seem to be afraid of the fire.
Look at these.
She's human.
So, show us what you've got.
How could she do it? She's my best friend! You don't really believe she'd side with them, do you? She's been spying on us! All this time! - I know.
- You know? It's who she is! She's not going to share that information with anyone.
She's sharing it with them now! You don't really believe that, do you? Trust me, Mads, Shan'll get us out of this, ok.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Emma! Why do you call them Wolfbloods? It's just a pet name I have for them.
I've got some of their wolf hair in my bag.
Would you like to see? Absolutely.
It's in the car.
He deliberately sabotaged the car.
"Do excuse me, the pumps are playing up!" Proves my point.
You can't trust anyone! I've got the key! Told you she'd get come back for us.
This is mind-boggling.
They mix with other children! At school! And nobody knows! Darling.
Yes, dear? Didn't you put your keys down over there? So how do we get it started? He probably just yanked a wire out or something.
- Don't you know? - I can't even drive! - You know everything else.
- Where are you going? - To get my laptop.
- No, you're not! You want to leave it in there with them?! We haven't seen a beast for 30 years.
We can't let them get away! - Come on, Dad! - We're trying! Don't move! Quickly, quickly! Hurry up! I think I've found it! Do you know how difficult it is to load one of these things, - you stupid woman? - Just shoot! - In the car! - What about Shannon?! Just get in! Come on, Shan.
Give me that, you idiot! So, Shannon, what made you decide to help us? I didn't have to decide anything.
Shannon's always been on your side.
Like I keep saying, people like that think you're evil.
They think you're monsters.
Everything on here proves you're not.
It's like insurance, for all of you.
That's all.
I'll take that.
You going to spy on someone else now, are you? It's mine and I'd like it back, please.
You need to wipe all the data.
"Thanks for saving us, Shannon.
"Oh, no problem, it's the least I'd do for friends.
" You should learn some trust, Mads.
Maybe you should earn it.
Perhaps I should get this place cleaned up a bit.
You're thinking like a human already.
Soon enough, you'll be into hair extensions and nail bars.
I could be the fourth K.
There's a thought.
Thanks, Rhydian.
For everything.
No problem.
What are you doing back? It's a long story.
So what have you two been up to? Nothing much.
So you just couldn't be bothered answering my texts.
You'd rather sneak round the den with her.
Look, wait.
I dropped my phone in the river and I've just been showing Jana life as a human.
I didn't think you'd care.
I don't anymore.
Where's your key? And don't bother coming round for lunch tomorrow either.
Maddy! What is wrong with you? Maybe I'm just sick of people doing things behind my back! I'd like to be the leader.
I'd like to be the Year's Representative on the Council.
We think it should be someone like me.
I better go for it too, sir.
Shannon's putting us all in danger, including you! Tell me.
Forget about personalities, think about policies.
Nice Shannon.
Clever Shannon.
Let's try liar Shannon! No! The walls are closing in! Please listen.
I wouldn't betray my friends! Never! If we leave her in there, she'll kill Shannon!
