-I don't know about this, Rhydian.

-Just trust me, OK?

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Just don't move.

-There's no way you can do this.

-[exhales]

[interposing voices]

-OK, let's see, come on.

-It's like watching one of those nature films, but not as

educational.

-Go for it.

[laughter]

-Whoa.

How is that even possible?

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 a wolfblood flows.

A change will come I know behold my future.

A promise that I keep.

I'll never share, I'll never speak.

Through these veins a wolfblood flows.

-Oy.

Oy, you.

-Hey, Mads.

-Don't hey Mads me.

What just happened?

-I've been putting in a lot of practice.

-This is me.

I know what we can and can't do.

And what you just pulled off is not on the list.

-You're a real pain, you know that?

-Uh-hm.

-Do you really wanna know?

-Spill.

-Not here.

Meet me in the woods after school.

[school bell ringing]

-Focus on my eyes.

-OK.

-OK, don't get all creepy on me.

Just--

just relax.

Breathe.

Mum told me that the wildbloods call it Eolas.

She said you can't just look, you have to feel, feel what's

under you, feel what's around you.

If you can, you'll connect to your oldest instincts, your

primal nature.

And then you'll know what Eolas is.

-Shh.

I'm trying to focus here.

-Are you OK?

-I can see everything, hear everything.

This is amazing.

RHYDIAN [OFFSCREEN]: Maddy!

Maddy, not that way.

Maddy, wait!

Maddy!

-Whoa!

RHYDIAN [OFFSCREEN]: Maddy!

-Ah!

[piercing noise]

-Snap out of it.

-[groans]

-You're near the pylon.

Maddy!

Maddy, wake up.

-What just happened?

-Seriously, Maddy, you've got to be careful with this stuff.

-You did what?

-Emm, go easy.

-I don't see the problem, Mom.

It's amazing.

-It's not amazing.

It's dangerous.

-Well, how would you know if you've never tried it?

-That's not the point.

-I'm the one who should be upset.

I'm the one who had to find out from someone else's mom.

-Ceri taught you how to do this?

-Uh, no, she taught me and then I taught Maddy.

It just went a-- a bit wrong.

-A bit wrong?

She passed out.

That's exactly why we didn't want you finding out about

this nonsense.

-I think Maddy's right.

I think it was our job to tell her--

uh, my job.

I've been there.

I've done that.

-You've used Eolas.

-I dabbled a bit when I was younger.

-Dan.

-What?

It was fun, as long as you keep it in the wild.

She only came across it because of the electricity.

It's no one's fault.

-I think you'd better go home, Rhydian.

-See you tomorrow, Mads.

[door closes]

-Well, that was rude.

-I don't want you messing with it again.

Do you understand?

Eolas wrecks families, lives.

-The only person wrecking things is you.

-Nice job, very supportive.

-[chuckles]

EMMA [OFFSCREEN]: We're supposed to be a team.

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

EMMA [OFFSCREEN]: Don't you care about your daughter?

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: Of course I care.

I'm talking about you.

This is my opinion, and this--

[music playing]

-Yeah, wait.

Come on, come on.

-You know Jeffries will confiscate those?

-I'm terrified.

-First she had a go at me and then Dad.

She's driving us nuts, like I'm still some cub.

-Some what?

-Nothing.

-15 seconds.

-What are you doing?

Using Eolas, in here?

Well, glad to see you're putting your primal nature to

such good use.

-Tha--

well, this is a pleasant surprise.

MADDY [OFFSCREEN]: Dad, you OK?

-Ah!

Oh, Maddy, don't creep up on a person.

Oh.

-What are you doing?

-Uh, yoga.

[coughs]

Yeah.

No, just doing a bit of yoga.

It's, uh, it's very good, you know.

It's tough.

Ooh.

Oh, but it's good.

-Oh, really?

-[chuckles]

-You're a terrible liar, Dad.

-Oh, I'll take that as a compliment.

-Dad, how old were you when you first learned about Eolas?

-Well--

16, 17.

-Why did you stop?

-I met your mom.

And, uh, she's always been one for emphasizing the human.

You know what she's like.

She's right, mostly.

So it's us to fit in, not the other way around.

-I just don't see why we can't fit in and be special.

Why can't you do it anymore?

-Don't know.

Maybe if you don't use it, you lose it.

Maybe it's just beyond me now.

I mean, it has been decades.

-It's awful.

-Well, it's not like I need it or anything.

-Dad?

-Madeline?

-Are you and Mom OK?

-[chuckles]

Course we are.

-Well, I heard you fighting last night.

-[chuckles]

And how often does that happen?

-Never, that's my point.

-Sweet heart, we're fine.

Your mom's just a bit worried about you, that's all.

-It wasn't all about me.

-Maddy, [sighs]

as you grow older, you'll realize that relationships

aren't easy.

And these things happen.

-Where is Mom, anyway?

-Are you looking for me, Mrs. Smith?

How can I help you?

-You can help by promising not to use Eolas around Maddy, or

encourage her in any way.

I don't even want you talking about it.

Do you understand?

-Can't really tell us what we're allowed to talk about.

-That's exactly what I'm doing.

-Don't you think you're being a bit unreasonable?

-If you though about someone other than yourself for once,

you'd realize this is for her own good.

Do we have an agreement?

-Has Maddy agreed to this?

-I'm telling you, not Maddy.

-All right, I'll do it--

if Maddy agrees.

-Right, that's it, you're not seeing her again.

-Excuse me.

-You're not seeing her again.

-We're in the same class.

-Then I forbid you to see her out of class.

-Before electricity, most wolfbloods lived in towns--

well, on the outskirts anyway.

And Eolas was just taken for granted, a way to stay

connected to the power.

Hello, where did you get to?

-I went to see Rhydian.

-Rhydian?

-You're not to hang out with him anymore.

-[scoffs]

Excuse me?

-Outside of school, he's persona non grata.

Do I make myself clear?

-No.

No, you do not make yourself clear.

You can't tell us what to do.

-Well, yes I can, young lady.

You're not seeing him again until both of you promise me

to my face that you'll never use Eolas ever again.

-How dare you just come in here and talk to me like that.

I'm a wolfblood now, not some little cub you can just boss

around.

-In my house, under my rules, you are a cub-- our cub.

And you'll do as you're told.

-Dad doesn't agree.

-[chuckles]

-Tell her.

Oh, great.

You're scared of her.

-No.

No, I'm not.

-Yeah, you are.

You're both scared.

We're wolfbloods, Mom, not humans.

And Eolas is mine.

So I can do what I want with it.

-Madeline, you get back here.

I'm talking to you.

-You handled that well.

-Yeah, well, somebody had to.

-You know, mostly speaking, living with two alpha females

is a total joy ride.

But this has to stop.

-Yeah, well, do more to control your

daughter and it will.

[owl hooting]

-What's happened?

-Me mother.

Can you put us up for a few days?

-Can I what?

-Rhydian, please?

She's driving us mad.

I can't live with her anymore.

-Maddy, do you have any idea what your mom would do to me?

-She doesn't have to know.

-Oh, no.

Because she'd never be able to track you back to my house.

What was I thinking?

She told you what she said to me?

-Yeah, that I'm not allowed to see you outside of school.

It's ridiculous.

-Well, maybe you should just take it on the chin, knuckle

under, and wait for it to calm down.

-No way.

What's wrong with every one?

All I want to do is live my life as a

wolfblood, which I am.

I'm sick of being lied to and manipulated.

-You know your parents care about you, even if they have

got a weird way of showing it.

-They don't care about us.

They're just scared of being wolfbloods.

-Hang on.

I'd give my canines to have what you have.

Stop being such a brat and go home.

-Great.

Well, thanks for all the support.

-Oh, come on.

Look, it'll work out.

You know it will.

Where are you going?

-What do you care?

-[sighs]

Her uniform's gone.

-Well, maybe she just didn't feel like having breakfast

with us.

-And some of her clothes and-- and her rucksack.

-Oh, right, OK.

Well, sorry to trouble you.

And, uh, thanks anyway.

-OK.

-Take care, bye.

Rhydian's gone to school as normal, she said.

-Where is she?

-I haven't seen her since late last night.

-You saw her last night?

-She came to mine.

But I told her to go home and she left.

-So she's not been to school today?

-No.

-Well, where's Tom and Shannon?

-They're in class, but they haven't seen her either.

-Well, how do you know?

-Trust me, I know.

-Don't worry, she's making a point.

We'll find her in the woods somewhere cooling off.

-I'll come with you.

-No, you can't miss school.

We'll find her.

-But I can see her.

We don't need you seeing anything.

-You think a wolfblood can't track their own cubs?

-Thanks anyway.

-Mr. and Mrs. Smith, what do we owe the pleasure?

-Maddy's not well.

-Ah, well, I'm sorry to hear that.

-Yeah, so, um, we came to ask Rhydian to bring any homework

that she might get.

So, uh, thanks, Rhydian.

And, uh, bye, Mr. Jeffries.

-Bye.

-Emm, can you smell that?

[sniffs]

-You still mad at me?

-What do you think?

You pushed her to this.

-Yeah, I know.

-Well, why?

You haven't given us a decent reason why.

-Do you remember me telling you about Louise?

-Your cousin who moved away when you were at school?

-She didn't move away.

She ran away.

-Why?

-Because she discovered Eolas.

It's all she ever talked about, all she cared about.

And she didn't have any time for me anymore or family.

She was playing truant every day, and

then she just vanished.

We finally had no choice but to call the police.

But as far as they were concerned, she was just

another missing young girl--

still is.

But we knew better.

-She ran wild.

Why did you never tell us this?

-Because I keep thinking that she's going to come back.

-Oh.

-We're gonna find Maddy, I promise.

-Ow!

-Maddy!

-Madeline!

-Maddy!

-I've got a scent.

-No, it's this way.

-Where'd she go?

-I can find her.

MADDY [OFFSCREEN]: Stop.

Traitor.

You're supposed to be on my side, our side.

-Maddy, you don't know what you're doing.

MADDY [OFFSCREEN]: No, you don't know what you're doing,

helping them.

This is who we are.

This is what we're meant to be.

-Maddy, listen to me.

MADDY [OFFSCREEN]: No, you listen.

You lied to us.

You knew about Eolas, and withheld it from us.

You withheld me birth right.

-But I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

Come out.

We'll talk about it.

-Eolas is our birth right.

And I'll use it how I please.

-Well, that's just it.

You're not using it, Maddy.

It's using you.

MADDY [OFFSCREEN]: Come and get us, then.

-Maddy, wait!

I've lost her.

[piercing noise]

-Sorry, Mrs. S. If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't

have let Maddy anywhere near Eolas.

-What I don't understand is why you're not crazy with it.

-Don't know.

Maybe it just in my genes, my mom being wild and all.

-Well, I appreciate your helping us and any trouble you

get into missing school, we'll come up with something to

explain it.

-Thanks.

-It's OK.

-Where exactly are we going?

She could be anywhere.

-Just keep going.

-Can you see her?

-No, it's just a feeling.

Ah!

[piercing noise]

-Get us away from those pylons.

[sirens]

[piercing noise]

-Stop the car, that's it.

That's the truck.

-Where's Maddy.

Can you see her?

-Rhydian?

Rhydian.

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: Let's get him to a

park, closer to nature.

-Come on.

We've got you.

-Come on, that's it.

You'll be OK.

-[sniffles]

[whimpering]

-Wait here.

-Please, Rhydian, try.

If you're in this state, imagine how she feels.

-No, can't do it here.

I'm sorry.

-T-- try again.

-Emm, enough.

You're torturing the boy.

-Our daughter's out there in pain.

-Yeah, I know that.

Let me try.

-You don't look happy.

You look a right state.

Been on this long?

I'm Jude.

-Maddy.

-So what you running away from, Maddy?

-I don't know anymore.

-Don't cry.

It will be all right.

-I don't even know why I'm here.

I hate to say, um, me head hurts.

-Maybe you need some food.

I'd get you a burger or something, but I'm skint.

-I've got money.

-Yeah?

Where?

In your, uh, rucksack, is it?

-Just relax, Dan.

You're tense.

-I'm trying.

-But you're not supposed to try.

-Where are you going?

-To find our daughter.

Stay there with Rhydian.

-Where you going?

There's no help down there.

Just give me the rucksack and you won't get hurt.

-[growls]

-Are you--

are you growling at me?

[laughs]

She's growling at me.

[laughter]

-[growls]

[laughter]

-Give it me.

-[growls]

-[screams]

-Get away from my daughter.

[growling]

-Like werewolves, do you?

Well, they don't like you.

[growls]

[screams]

-Mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

-It's OK, pet.

You're safe now.

You're safe.

I'm never using Eolas again.

I'm sorry about the mean things that I said.

-What mean things?

Mom said I've got you to thank.

You're the one who tracked us down.

-I lost you once you jumped in the back of that truck.

-So how exactly did you find us?

-Good old fashioned scent.

Like I told Rhydian, a wolfblood can always track

their cub.

-Mom, how many times?

I'm not a cub.

-Don't you flash your eyes at me.

-Well, stop calling us a cub.

-Well, stop behaving like one and I will.

-Stop treating us like one and I'll stop behaving like one.

-You don't set the rules, Maddy.

-What's it got to do with rules?

-It's got everything to do with rules.

-Why are you changing the subject?

-I'm not changing the subject.

-Well, you obviously are.

-Mostly speaking, living with two alpha females

is a total joy ride.

-Ha.
