-Whoa!

Whoa!

-Go Shannon!

-Whew!

Agh, ha, ha.

-Uh, my turn.

My turn, my turn.

-Tom, are you all right?

TOM [OFFSCREEN]: Aw, my knee.

RHYDIAN [OFFSCREEN]: Stay there.

Don't move it.

SHANNON [OFFSCREEN]: Are you all right?

-Someone's there.

Someone is spying on us.

[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.

-This is where he was standing.

-So he was spying on us.

-How am I supposed to tell from a few broken twigs?

Come on, lets' get out of here.

[sniffing]

-It's the same scent.

-Wild wolfblood in the woods.

-Don't you have a big game on Friday?

-Yeah.

Only the County Cup finals.

And we're playing Barons Mill, that team we always lose to.

-So your leg won't make a difference, then?

-Thanks mate.

-Who cares about football?

I want to know who the creep in the bushes was.

-Probably just a dog walker.

-I didn't see a dog.

-Ah, you've seen her, too, have you?

-Her?

-Seen who?

-Yeah, the homeless woman that's been sleeping rough.

She's been seen around the village these last few nights.

-Oh!

-Liam's the best goalie we've got.

-Which is saying something?

-We've got a match to win.

Now pull yourselves together.

-What do you mean you're not coming?

-To watch you kick a piece of leather around a field?

It's dull.

-Football is so lame, even Shannon doesn't like it.

-It's the Cup final.

Are you not coming to support us?

-You lost to Barons Mill High, last year.

And the year before.

-And there's nothing lamer than a loser.

-Yeah.

That's why we need you.

The crowd are like the 12th man on the team, supporting

us, cheering us on.

-What?

You mean like cheer leading?

-No.

No, that's not what I meant.

-It's way more fun than football.

-Yeah, with costumes and pom-poms.

We'll be like the stars of the show.

-Tom.

-If she can hide from us when she wants, that means, when we

see her--

-It's because she wanted it.

-Go on.

TOM [OFFSCREEN]: Oh, no.

Your window.

-Sam.

-Yeah?

-Go and get Miss Graham.

-All you have to do is stop the ball going in the goal.

-Football really isn't my thing.

-Well, just play along, man.

-Didn't you hear what I said?

Stop the ball.

Or you too cool to dive?

-Do it again.

-I don't want to embarrass you.

-Do it again.

-Jimi, take the penalty.

-Oh!

[clapping]

-What do you think, Miss?

-I think we have a new goalie.

-Yes!

Back in midfield.

-Miss?

-That was really nice.

-Wow!

-We can win the cup now.

We can finally beat them.

[branches cracking]

[footsteps in the leaves]

[footsteps in the leaves]

-Who are you?

What do you want?

-Dwi'n dy fam.

I'm your mother.

-I don't have a--

you can't--

-I am, Rhydian.

I'm your mother.

-No!

-We'll go back to the rope swing at dusk.

The ground will be damper, so it will hold her scent better.

Rhydian?

Rhydian, are you even listening?

-Just forget we ever saw her.

[school bell ringing]

-Rhydian!

-I'm, uh, practicing.

-Ahem.

Who wants to see our routine?

Ready?

OK.

Go, go, Bradlington High.

Kick that ball into the sky.

Beat that awful Barons Mill.

Show them they are over-the-hill.

Go Bradlington.

[clapping]

-What did you think, Rhydian?

-No, I thought-- yeah, it's brilliant.

-No, you were great, honestly.

-Right.

Set please.

Free kicks in corners.

Rhydian, get in goal.

Concentrate, Rhydian.

-Wake up, Welshie.

-Jimi.

-Are you taking the mickey?

We give you a place on the team and you can't

even bother to try.

-All right.

That's enough.

Go and work with the defenders.

-Good idea, cause with him in goal we're going to need them.

-A team is only as strong as it's weakest link.

All we ask is that everyone does their best.

Is that too much to ask?

Good.

[whistle blows]

-Look, mate, don't even worry about it, yeah?

Match days are always better.

-You had better be.

-Always the same, loners, afraid of failure

so they won't try.

-You trying to say I'm scared of losing?

-I'm saying you're not team material.

-Fine.

I wouldn't be on your team if you paid me.

-I'm not going to give up, you know.

-I know.

We can't talk here.

-You spoke to her?

When?

-Yesterday, when I walked home.

Maddy, she's my mum.

-What's she doing here now?

-I don't know.

I runaway.

I--

I couldn't talk to her.

She can't just turn up like this.

She left me in the middle of nowhere.

I could have died.

What kind of mother does that?

-You don't know what really happened.

No one does, except her.

So if you want to find out the truth, you

have to talk to her.

-I know, but I can't.

-Please.

-What are you doing here?

You're in Maddy's territory.

-And what will the tame wolfbloods do about it?

-All right.

There you go.

Right.

[sniffing]

[choking]

-Come on, love.

Let's go, eh?

-You don't have to be afraid.

-I'm not afraid.

I'm embarrassed.

They're different.

-Different word.

Same human emotion.

-What do you want?

-[foreign language].

My beautiful boy.

-Newsflash, Mum, you're 12 years late.

-I couldn't find you.

I left you safe while we went hunting.

When I came back, they were taking you

away in their machines.

-You could have gone to Social Services.

You could have told them you were my mum.

-They'd have locked me up.

-Not if you lived as a human being.

-That's worse than being locked up.

-Why now?

-I sensed your first transformation.

Knew it was time for you to lead the life

you were born for.

-How did you find me?

-[foreign language].

A true wolfblood can always find their kin.

[laughter]

-Your friend, she's corrupted you.

Made you tame like them.

-You know nothing about my life.

-I can see your life, right here.

-Her pack were here for me, whilst you were too busy

running wild.

-Ha, ha.

Hey, Bernie, is something going off in here?

There's a nasty smell about.

I think it's coming from that table.

-Leave it out, Jimi.

-Yeah, I better be careful.

He might punch me.

But he'd probably miss.

Ha, ha.

-You've brought this on yourself, trying to live by

their rules.

You can't go over there and teach them the lesson they

deserve, without revealing yourself.

You can't be human.

But as long as you're hiding, pretending, you can't fully be

wolfblood either.

JIMI [OFFSCREEN]: Who do reckon his

new friend is, anyway?

LIAM [OFFSCREEN]: Maybe it's a self-help group.

Weirdos anonymous.

[laughter]

-Can we go somewhere else?

-Yes.

JIMI [OFFSCREEN]: Aw, it stinks.

Argh!

[growling]

-Stop it!

-She's an animal.

She should be locked up.

Ugh!

She drooled on me.

-They could have called the police.

People know you've been sleeping rough out here.

I mean, what if they came to find you?

-Why would I let them find me?

-You're wolfblood, not invisible.

-Wolfbloods are invisible.

We walk in the margins of the world.

There are senses you've never even used, things you can do

you've never even imagined, things that your tame friends

will never know how to do.

We call it Eolas.

And I can teach you how to use it.

Or you can go back.

-So I should try and what?

-Don't try.

Humans try.

We listen to our instincts.

-Right.

Listen to my instincts.

Don't try it.

I can't do this.

I don't know how.

-Look at me.

Feel the earth under you.

Feel the wind over you.

Feel the grass, and the clouds, and the sky.

You are part of everything.

You are nature.

-Ha, ha!

I could see, Maddy.

Ha, ha.

I--I get it.

-He'll be all right, you know.

-What if there's a whole other pack out there?

What if they turn on him?

-Well, Ceri wouldn't allow that to happen.

-And what if they make him like them, and he

starts to hate us?

-Look, as mixed up as Rhydian is, he's smart.

He'll make the right decision.

-It is beautiful when you are part of nature.

-I can't believe it.

-The pack runs with Eolas.

That is how we exist.

-Wow.

-Rhydian, there is a mystery inside yourself.

It is not only that you feel different,

you don't feel whole.

-How do you know?

-Our kind can help solve that mystery and make you compete.

-You want me to go with you.

-Yes.

-Forever?

-What have you just got to go back to?

-I've got friends.

-If you come with me you'll have a pack, a family.

-I've already got a pack.

-Traitors to our species.

You belong with your own kind.

-I can't decide.

Just let me think.

-Thinking is for humans.

Trust your instincts.

Come and be complete.

-So why was he talking to her?

-She's Rhydian's mom.

-The homeless woman?

-He hasn't gone off with her, has he?

-I don't know.

-How's your smelly friend, Rhydian?

-You all right, mate?

-We were worried about you.

-Is your mum, OK?

-You told them.

-I--

I told someone I was worried about you.

-So what happened?

-Got home about 1:00 AM.

Mr. Vaughan went ballistic, and I'm grounded

for about 100 years.

But, everything's all right.

-And your mom?

-All righty!

Let's have some quiet in here, please.

-I'll tell you later.

-Rhydian, what are you doing?

-I'm going with her.

-What?

-She's my mom.

She can teach me things.

-You can't just run away!

-It wouldn't be the first time.

It's just the first time I'm sad to leave people behind.

-And what if it's not?

What if you get there and you hate her?

-Well, maybe I will.

But you got to let me try.

-Tom, I owe you an apology.

-Are you feeling all right?

Should I get the nurse?

-No, the football team, all that stuff.

I let you down.

-Oh no.

It was stupid, thinking you were going to be brilliant

when you don't even like football.

-So what can I do to make up to you?

-Is this a wind up?

-Why do you say that?

-Because you're acting all cuddly.

-No, I'm being serious.

I just want to leave with a clean slate.

-Leave?

-This issue, no bad feelings.

-All right, well, you could join the team again.

-I can't.

-And why not?

-I don't belong.

-Mate, you belong where you want to be.

And if you want to be on the team, just for one game, to

make it happen.

-Can I do that?

Just for one game?

-This is the biggest game of the season.

-The one everyone's wants?

-He can't play.

-Miss Graham OKed it.

-He doesn't even have any boots.

-You're on, Welshie.

Let's get out there and win.

[cheering]

-Go on, Rhydian!

[whistle blowing]

-Let's knock it down!

-Go, go, Bradlington High.

Kick that ball into the sky.

Beat that awful Barons Hill.

Show them they are over-the-hill.

Go Bradlington!

Whoa!

-Get in there!

KAY [OFFSCREEN]: Woo!

Woo hoo!

[whistle blows]

-Ball in, ball in.

KAY [OFFSCREEN]: Woo!

-Go, go Bradlington High.

Kick that ball into the sky.

Beat that awful Barons Mills.

Show them they are over-the-hill.

Go Rhydian!

Woo!

[whistle blows]

[crowd cheering]

-OK.

Get in there.

Foul ball!

-The 90 minutes are up?

-Then why are they still playing?

-Injury time.

-Well are we winning?

-It's nil-nil.

Have you been even watching?

-Too much space!

[whistle blows]

-Penalty kick.

-Is that a good thing?

-No, Barons Mill should score, and then

they'll win the match.

-Right, penalty kick, bad.

-Rhydian, ball!

-Go, go!

Go!

-That's right, come on.

[crowd cheering]

-Yeah!

Yeah!

-Good job!

-We made a goal!

Good save, man!

[crowd cheering]

-Yeah!

-That was a great kick off.

-Yeah.

-Great.

-I'm hungry.

That's right.

-Yeah.

-Burgers at Bernie's.

You coming?

-Maybe later.

Great save.

Great throw.

-Thanks, Jimi.

-I'll, um see you in a bit, yeah?

Cool.

Aw, yeah, man.

We own those bozos.

Yeah!

-Hey, the man of the match.

-Tom scored the winning goal.

I've never seen him so happy.

-I've never seen you so happy.

Well, not in human form, anyway.

-It was a buzz, winning, being part of the team.

-Belonging somewhere.

-I guess.

-You know, it's not too late to change your mind.

Or is this where I say goodbye?

-It's my choice, Maddy.

-I hate goodbyes, anyway.

-We should be gone by now.

-I said I'd see you once I'd finished.

-Finished what?

-Playing football.

Did you watch?

-I don't watch humans playing their games.

-Well, you should have.

Then you might understand why I can't come with you.

-You want to stay here?

-It might have been a game, but I was part of something.

Something that I was good at.

Something I wanted.

Not something I was born into.

It was my choice.

-I'm offering you freedom, the wolfblood life.

-There is no wolfblood life.

Everyone gets to choose how they want to live.

And I can't live like you.

If you stay around, then we can see each other.

-Did she make you do this, your tame wolf friend?

-Don't you ever call Maddy tame!

[snarling]

-She's corrupted you.

I'm your mother.

-Who wasn't there.

-Rhydian, who were you just talking to?

-No one.

I though you had gone to Bernie's?

-I thought I'd come back for the man of the match.

Shannon said she's meet us up there, so--

-Cool!

-Rhydian!

-We're going to Bernie's.

You coming?
