Original subtitles

-Mom's freaking out about tomorrow.

-Well, after the past two full moons, can you

really blame her?

-Oy.

-Not my fault you're slow.

-Not my fault you're a girl.

-Look, we've got to be there by 5:00.

-That's hours till moonrise.

-Yeah.

Well, they don't want to take any chances this time.

-Smith goes for the shot.

But it's blocked by Morris.

Morris lines up.

Oh, he misses!

Complete embarrassment for the boy from Wales.

I mean, he's had a terrible sea--

no for Morris.

-Hi.

My dad's cooking tonight, so I was thinking burgers at

Bernie's instead.

-I'm there.

-5:30ish?

-Yeah.

Great.

We'll be there.

Won't we, Rhydian?

-Where else would we be?

-Great.

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.

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.

-You do know Bernie's doesn't allow dogs.

-I panicked.

The only thing I could think of was, sorry, we'll be locked

in the cellar turning into wolves.

-You should probably work on your excuses.

-I can't just make up lies on the spot.

-Why is my experiment a different

color to everyone else's?

-Probably because you're right and everyone else is wrong.

-Listen.

Maddy was just saying how she's not going

to make it out tonight.

-Why?

-Because I just remembered I have to stay in and help mom

with curtains.

-Curtains?

-Yeah.

She's really into craft all of a sudden.

I said I'd hold them while she sews.

-Well, can't she do it another time?

-She's got a deadline.

Sorry.

-Oh.

OK.

-See?

You can do it.

-Finally.

-We're early.

-Just.

-We came straight from school.

It just seems to take longer.

-Yeah, I know.

Too much to see, too much to smell.

-Where did that hair come from?

-Where?

-There.

That black thing.

[gasp]

There's another one. [SARCASTICALLY] Oh wait.

It's a full moon.

I must be turning into the beast.

[laughter]

-Yeah.

That moustache could do with a trim too.

-I can see so much--

-Shh.

[phone ringing]

-Rhydian.

-Listen, mate.

I've got a bit of a vomiting situation with my, uh,

substitute parents.

They're throwing up everywhere.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

You know, I'm on--

I'm on bucket duty.

So I'm not going to be able to make it out.

-Oh, OK.

Well--

-[retching]

-Oh, there she blows.

All right.

Uh, I--

I got to go.

[applause]

-No Rhydian?

[sigh]

What is it with everyone today?

-Must be the full moon.

-You know, we don't have to do this.

-What?

-Stay here.

I don't care how your parents try and justify this.

It's still a cage.

It's still unnatural.

-We agreed.

We promised.

I thought you were OK with that.

-Yeah.

That was when the war seemed a long way away.

Now, I mean, this room feels half the

size it normally does.

-I know what you mean.

-It was fun though, last full moon.

-Yeah.

-Out there, all of us together.

-It was--

it was a rush.

It was--

-It was right.

I mean, it was right.

Outside in a pack, it's where we belong.

-The only reason we transformed outside last time

is because we've run out of time.

Mom and Dad, they won't let that happen again.

-They can't stop us if we don't let them.

-Rhydian, I won't go against them.

We stay.

[music playing]

-Is Shannon Kelly here?

Kyle Weathers.

I've come a long way to find you.

-Thanks.

This is Tom.

-Tom, good to meet you.

-Hi.

-We're short on daylight, so I'll come

straight to the point.

The beast is in my sights, and you're the girl to

help me find it.

-Excuse me?

-I've been monitoring your blog for the last six months.

Your findings are pretty compelling.

-Why didn't you leave any comments?

-And open myself up to replies from fools with no brains and

even less imagination?

-I know exactly what you mean.

-Right.

I'm searching the woods tonight, and I need an expert.

What do you say?

-Tell me more.

-Don't worry.

No one can get in.

And we're not getting out.

We are going nowhere--

until we've got fingers again, obviously.

-Great.

You've done a really good job.

It's very secure.

-Thanks.

And don't worry.

It unlocks just as easy as it unlocks.

Oh no.

Ah.

Kidding.

I'm kidding.

It's just--

-Thanks.

-Hi.

-He doesn't say much.

-That's Steve.

He takes a while to warm up to new people.

-So, who you are, exactly?

-I'm you.

-Thought you looked familiar.

-12 years ago, I was the kid no one believed.

I, um, I saw something too--

an animal--

a creature, really.

I was walking where I'd walked a hundred times before.

And for some reason that day, there it was.

Never seen anything like it before or since.

-You never saw it again?

-But I knew what I'd seen.

And for a while I tried to convince other

people I'd seen it too.

I don't need to tell you how that went.

-My parents practically measured me for my own

straight jacket.

-Yeah, I know how it feels when the people you rely on

most don't believe you.

-Have you seen other things, other creatures?

-There's more out there than even you and I know about.

I, um, I photograph and study what I can.

So, Shannon, if you would do me the honor of being my

guide, tonight I will find the beast for you.

-I'd be delighted.

-Here, let me help.

-Thanks.

-So you're with Kyle?

-Filming Kyle.

There's a difference.

-Is that the beast freak?

-Oh, we just call her Shannon.

-Good.

It's always better if they look like they don't live

under a bridge.

-So, I'm Tom.

And you are?

-Busy.

-Jo.

You are Jo.

So what, are you a film student?

-Yeah.

And I'll let you be in my documentary if you leave me

alone for two minutes to settle.

-So you're hunting the hunter, so to speak.

Right.

I'll just let you get on.

-Excuse me, but if you're going to interview anyone

about the beast, it has to be us.

We've known about it for years.

-What are you looking for?

-I don't know.

I just--

I can't stand still.

-OK.

Water is in bowls.

Wolf snacks are in place.

We're all set.

-OK.

Mads?

-All right.

All the doors and windows are locked.

No one's getting in or out tonight.

You two OK?

-Yeah, Mrs. S. Just a bit twitchy.

-Maddy, if something's going on, you better tell us now,

because we're running out of time.

-Why are we doing this?

Didn't we have a great time last full moon.

Didn't we?

-Well yeah, but--

-We're a proper wolf pack--

free, alive.

I had the best experience of me life.

And it was because I was sharing it with you guys.

-It was a special night, Maddy.

One of the best.

-So why are we pretending like it never happened?

-Because we're never going to do it again.

-Why not?

-You know why not, Maddy.

It's not safe for us out there.

-We were fine.

-No, we were lucky.

What if we'd got shot up by a farmer, or we'd walked into a

poacher's trap?

-All it takes is one person to spot us.

And then they'll hunt us down.

It's what they do.

-Tell me that you understand that, Maddy.

-I do.

-Me too.

-Good.

So that's the end of it.

[music playing]

-A few weeks ago the beast was circling the village.

Farm animals and pets were going missing.

I tracked it to this area.

-It's between two farms--

prime hunting ground.

Good job.

-Anything I could do to help?

-Yeah.

See that tree over there?

-Yeah.

-Go stand under it and leave me alone.

-[scoffing]

-What?

-Just trying to imagine what you were like

when you were my age.

You must have worn a lot of black.

-Here.

Don't break anything.

-So, what's the deal with you and Kyle?

-He needed someone to put him on camera.

I needed an extraordinary graduation film to

kick start my career.

So we found each other.

-So, you two are--

-For a bit.

Then Kyle.

Well, I mean, we decided the rate was--

great.

Let's just share life stories while my

camera battery drains.

Kyle, your public's waiting.

So, Kyle, tell us what's going on.

-This is Shannon Kelly.

-Hi.

-Shannon is on the trail of a creature known

locally as the beast.

Uh, she's brought us here to the exact spot where we stand

the best chance of seeing it tonight.

The full moon is about to rise, and the creatures of the

night are coming out to play.

-And cut.

Nice.

Very poetic.

-And don't let me get too fancy.

I don't want to lose the audience.

-So, how do you want to do this?

-Steve.

-What is that?

-A secure container, harmless but inescapable.

We're going to catch the beast.

-Our first time as a family.

I feel like I should make a speech.

-Well, you better make it quick if you don't want to end

it growling.

-Come on.

The moon won't wait.

-Maddy?

-I'm sorry.

-Maddy!

-Open this door!

-Don't you dare!

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: Maddy, open this door now!

-I'll see you in the morning.

EMMA [OFFSCREEN]: Maddy, I mean it!

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: You are in so much trouble, Maddy.

-You sure about this?

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: Open this door.

-No.

Let's hurry, before I lose my nerve.

EMMA [OFFSCREEN]: Maddy!

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: I can't believe you

are doing this, Maddy.

EMMA [OFFSCREEN]: Maddy!

-I didn't bring you here so you can catch it.

-Shannon, relax.

This is for our safety.

You said yourself the beast is killing animals.

It could easily turn on us if it isn't contained.

-So what, then you're going to let it go?

-I'm not in the business of caging wild animals, no matter

how unusual.

We put it in here to get a closer look.

That's all.

-That's cool with me.

Look, that thing has some serious fangs, Shannon.

-OK.

I'm sorry.

It's just--

it just got real, all of a sudden.

-And that's why I'm here, Shannon--

to show the world the beast is real, OK?

-OK.

-They're gonna kill it.

-What are you going to say them?

-I don't know.

But I don't think sorry is going to cut it.

-We could go back.

-Do you want to?

-Look.

Put it on me.

Tell them I made you do it.

-Thanks, but I'll take the blame.

I've earned it.

-It's starting.

Come on.

-This is all very dramatic, but what makes you so sure

you'll find the beast tonight?

-Stay tuned.

Jo, on me.

You know what's great about science?

Eventually, it can achieve pretty much anything.

Just put it the hours in the lab, and you can make all

sorts of cool things happen.

This is bait, a scent engineered at a cellular level

to attract the predatory olfactory system, which is

smart speak for it rocks.

And this is your basic Sunday roast, before all the cooking

and the gravy.

We add the scent.

It'll spread.

And if there's a supernatural carnivore out there, it's

going to come running.

-Switching to night vision.

-OK.

Let's fall back to the truck first.

Steve?

[rustling]

[sniffing]

-Do you smell that?

[sniffing]

[growling]

-So--

-No.

-Sorry?

-You were either going to ask me if you could help or try to

find out something personal about me.

Either way, the answer is no.

-It's cold out.

-I'm pretty warm actually.

-Wasn't talking about the weather.

-Psst.

I see movement, 10 o'clock.

-What are you doing?

-It's a tranquilizer gun--

be perfectly harmless.

Vets use them all the time.

-Well, will it hurt it?

-No.

It'll put it out for a few minutes.

Everyone stay quiet.

Jo, don't miss this.

-I never miss.

[gunshot]

-[gasp]

[thumping]

-Did you miss?

-No.

There's two of them.

-Two beasts?

[gunshot]

[thumping]

-Oh, oh wait.

They might not be fully under yet.

-I have to see them.

-Let me and Steve get them into the container.

Safety first, OK?

-OK.

-Jo?

-What about safety first?

-Fine, miss the reveal.

-Steve, go ahead and check that out.

-Maddy and Rhydian are going to be so mad they missed this.

KYLE [OFFSCREEN]: Do the one first.

-You OK?

-Yeah, why?

-You're shaking.

KYLE [OFFSCREEN]: You grab the head.

I'll grab the feet.

Yeah?

Steve, slowly.

-Is this happening?

Like is this actually happening?

KYLE [OFFSCREEN]: What are you doing?

-Yeah, believe it.

-I don't think I can.

KYLE [OFFSCREEN]: All right, let's get the smaller one.

-What if I wake up?

-Shannon.

KYLE [OFFSCREEN]: Gently.

That's it.

-Believe it.

KYLE [OFFSCREEN]: OK.

Come on.

-Are they--

they're wolves.

Tom, they're wolves.

All this time, it was wolves.

My beast isn't a beast at all?

-How can there be wolves here?

They've been extinct in Britain for years.

-Well, maybe people just think they died out.

Maybe they've been here all the time, surviving without

anyone knowing.

-All right.

You ready, Kyle?

Sleeping animals are a lot easier to film than angry,

snarly ones.

-Turns out the beast wasn't a beast at all.

Thought to be extinct in this country, these

two wolves have survived.

Their existence is secret for years, until I found them.

Not a bad night's work, ay?

-They're waking up.

You should let them go now.

-And why would I do that?

[knocks]

Give us a hand, Steve.

-What are you doing?

-Well, I'm not going to leave them here for someone else to

find, am I?

-So you're keeping them?

As what, as some sort of trophy?

-For now.

And then I'll uh--

I'll sell them off to the zoo or something.

-Why?

There are thousands of other wolves in the world?

-But not like these.

Plucky English survivors where wolves have been extinct for

hundreds of years.

I could sell the movie rights.

I might even play myself.

Oh, Jo, we'll do close-ups back at my place?

-Did you not hear?

They're wolves.

Not space wolves or thunder wolves, just regular wolves.

-And this is their home.

-Oh, so go and write a song about it.

Thanks for your help.

I couldn't have done it without you, et cetera.

And it's over, and it's way past your bedtime.

-What is wrong with you?

You're obsessed.

-Yeah, and that means a lot coming from her.

-Shannon and Shannon's friend, say goodbye to the puppies,

because they're going to their new home now.

Steve, check the map.

We need to figure a way out of this place,

away from these kids.

And then go back and secure the crate.

[panting]

-Did you know about this?

-What, that Kyle's an egomaniac who will trample

over anyone to get what he wants?

I had an inkling, yes, but he's just proved it.

-So you let him use us?

-No.

Listen, all I wanted was to get the best film

possible out of this.

So we might not like how Kyle operates, but the audience

loves controversy.

If you don't have an audience, you're nothing.

-So the more immoral he is, the more you like him.

-Welcome to show biz.

-Looks like you found your soul mate after all.

-Hey, hey, hey.

If that you're that desperate to save something,

go sponsor a panda.

Steve, we're leaving.

-Filmmakers observe.

They don't interfere.

It's just how it is.

-[ANGRILY] How's pathetic?

You're turning a blind eye to something you know isn't

right.

-Hey, he's the bad guy here, not me.

There's nothing I can do to stop him.

-Or maybe you're scared if you do stop him, you'll get

a film out of it.

-Doesn't it occur to you that he might be using you the way

he used us?

-So?

I'm using him back.

We're even.

-But it isn't right.

OK.

How about this?

Doesn't an audience love an unexpected twist?

-You're sure this is an actual road?

-Yeah, not to many people know about it.

But it's a good shortcut.

-As long as you avoid the bulk.

-So, got any words for your audience?

-Point the camera at Shannon.

-OK.

-So, Shannon, tell us why we're in the

middle of a chase scene?

-Because Kyle Weathers is a glory hunter who only wants

fame, and he doesn't care what he destroys to get it.

He has taken two beautiful wolves out their natural

habitat to make himself look good and make money.

And I'm not going to let that happen.

-[clears throat]

-We're not going to let that happen.

Sorry.

You can edit that out, right?

And this bit too?

-[sigh]

Pesky kids.

-I'm not moving until you let the wolves go.

-I mean it.

Didn't mommy and daddy teach you that we can't always get

what we want?

-They taught me to stand up for what's right.

-Then they did a much better job than my parents.

-Go home and make them a cupper to say thanks.

-You said you were just like me.

-Oh, sweetie.

No one's that weird.

-So everything you said was a lie?

-Finally, you get it.

Now will you move?

-I should have known you were too good to be true.

And because I trusted you, everything mysterious and

magical is over.

-Yeah, cheese factor 50.

Are all teenage girls like this, or just the crazy ones?

-I'm glad I'm not like you.

-Shannon, if your plan was to appeal to my better nature,

it's not going to work.

I don't have one.

-Yeah, well that was plan A. Plan B was to keep you talking

long enough for Tom to sneak around the back of you truck

and let the wolves go.

-What?

-Award-winning footage, Kyle.

Think you might be thinning a bit in the back though.

-Steve?

Steve!

Steve!

-Oh yeah, about the film?

I've decided to go another way.

-OK.

Yeah.

Two points to the kindergarten.

You've slowed me down, that's all.

I've got the bat and I'll be back for your wolves.

-He is right about the bait.

-Yeah.

I mean, wolves can't resist it.

Although since I've got it, it's probably no use to him.

-[laughs]

-Very stealthy.

-Thank you very much.

Think I'm ready for my close-up now?

This is for all the wolves out there.

Howl it with me now.

[howls]

-I remember the scent.

And then it went dark.

And then I saw that man.

-Yeah, he smelled bad.

-Then Shannon.

-Yeah, but then Tom.

-Which means that we must have been trapped.

-Then released.

-By Tom.

We probably owe Shannon and Tom our lives.

How are we going to thank them?

-What are you going to tell your parents?

-The truth.

-Why?

-Because he could come back, and they've

got a right to know.

-OK.

I'm coming with you.

-No.

-What?

Let me take the blame?

-No.

I got us into this, not you.

Although I'm in so much trouble, I think they might

actually eat us.

I'll see you the next time I'm allowed out, which is probably

in the next 50 years or so.

-You could always leave them in the den until they promise

not to punish you.

-Yeah.

I might just do that.

-You sure you don't want to split the blame?

-Positive.

-OK.

Well, I'll see you in 50 years.

I

EMMA [OFFSCREEN]: I can smell you out there, young lady.

DANIEL [OFFSCREEN]: You are beyond grounded.

EMMA [OFFSCREEN]: Open this door, Maddy.

Open the door!
