"Dacia Turner." "Segolia Corporation." "She made me an offer I couldn't refuse." " What, money?" " A job." "With Segolia?" "We're done." "You'll pay for this, Tom Okanawe." "Meinir took your pack." "A wolfblood cannot bury that kind of pain." "I thought I'd won them over." "But they hated me." "I have no pack, no authority, no home." "This is my life now." "Mmm." "Ugh." "Well?" "It tastes melted." "Amazing, right?" "Anyway." "Rhydian, I've been meaning to talk to you about the whole work experience thing." "It's just..." "Thanks for turning them down, Shannon." "I, ah... well, after what Segolia did to my dad..." "Yeah." "Well, there's no need to thank me." "I'm sure I'll have lots to do at the, uhm... at the pharmacy." "Rhydian." "Are you staying?" "Just saying hi." "Anyway, I'd better get going." "I have got an early start." "I'll finish it." "Oi, greedy guts, you've had enough!" "Honestly, you wolfbloods..." "You and Rhydian will have fun at the Kafe." "I promise." "Bye." "Night." "Meet at mine?" "Eight-ish?" "Okay." "I'll see you tomorrow morning." "She's really down." "She thinks life has lost meaning." "But we can get her back on track." "Help her, before we lose her for ever." "♪ 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 ♪" "♪ Of mystic creatures wandered far ♪" "♪ Through these veins a wolfblood flows ♪" "♪ Through these veins a wolfblood flows. ♪" "Quit pratting about." " How did you...?" " What is this?" " An Electromagnetic Field Meter." " What?" "No." " Give it!" " Get ready for school." "Morning." "Possessed by any demons?" "One or two." "Nice to see you so enthusiastic about your work experience." "Yeah, well..." "You know, should, ah...- - be fun.- " "Jana's running a bit late." "And here she is." "Oof!" "What have you got in there?" "Cookbooks." "For the Kafe." "See you later, boys." "What?" " But the Kafe is this way." " We're not going to the Kafe." " But what about human work?" " Stuff human work." "Come on!" " Where are we going?" " This way." "Wait up!" "Hey, you all right, Mum?" "Can you phone up Mr Jeffries, and tell him Jana's sick?" " 'Yes, press the buttons with the numbers on.'" " Yes, I know." "Thank you." " Just tell him Jana's got food poisoning." " All right!" "You're going to where we said?" " Yeah." " 'Good.'" "Yeah." "Hurry up, man." "I am not going in there on my own!" "Er, listen..." "Jana didn't feel brilliant last night." "'Is she all right?" "'" "Yeah." "She... she just needs looking after." " "Looking after"?" "!" " 'You're not coming, are you?" "'" "If anyone asks, we've got food poisoning, all right?" "Shannon's at the pharmacy if you need rescuing." "Brilliant, I'll buy some plasters" "I had to tell him something!" "Come on." "You all right?" "Anything you've got to say to Kay goes through me first, got it?" "Where are the other two?" "Oh." "They're sick." "Looks like you'll have to cover for both of them, then." "You can start with the bins." "Where you belong." "Kara Waterman." "I thought you dropped out." "I thought you were with Kay and Katrina." "All right, guys?" "Definitely no Rhydian?" "No." "All right, well, it's just this way." "Dacia." " Ms Sweeney, this is..." " A word?" "One minute." " That's Shannon?" " Mm-hmm." "Then the other knows nothing?" " Kara?" "No." " I don't see Rhydian." "Well, he thinks we betrayed him." "You think so too?" "Come find me when you're done recruiting." "I've a little job for you." "What is this place?" "Mum reckons it was a wolfblood den, centuries ago." "She found it walking Katrina's dog." "This is human." "Humans come along and leave their marks, so everyone knows they were there." "In the wild, whenever a pack moves on, they always leave a mark behind." "We call it beyanath." "It's supposed to bless whichever new pack takes the place of the last." "Everyone wants to leave their mark on something." "No-one wants to be forgotten." "Well, we won't be." "If this place was wolfblood, then it's our history, too." "Mum says we might be fewer now, but we're strong." "It's time we left our own mark." " Wow!" " Wow!" "I believe you know Dr Whitewood?" "You work here?" "Oh, you know, more science, fewer students." "Well, usually." "Sorry, I'll leave you to it." "I tell you what, Kara, could you grab a couple of Bunsen burners?" "They're in the cupboards down there." " Did you bring it?" " Yeah." "We'll get this sequenced and compare it to the tame samples." "Okay." "And when you're done with the floors, you can clean the toilets, as well." "I want to see my face in the bowl." "Yeah, you and me both." "Is everything all right?" "Ceri never found a beyanath, did she?" "Here?" "She never mentioned it." "Let's go in." " Rhydian?" " Come on!" "Jana?" "Jana!" "Jana?" " Can't you hear it?" " Hear what?" "What's going on?" "Wait!" "Ah!" "Eurgh!" "Your eyes!" "Er..." "Mate, look, it's all right, she's just, uhm..." "Ollie!" "It was Ansion." "Ansion?" "You weren't even using it." "They died in there, Rhydian." "A whole pack." "Hunted on a full moon." "That's why there's no beyanath." "Oh!" "So stupid." "Kara, could you do me a favour and re-sterilise those for me?" "Just over there." "And, Shannon, if you give me a hand with the work surface?" "Yeah." "Take a look at this." "Are they different, tame and wild?" "I'll get a specialist to take a look, but there are some discrepancies." "So, why all this testing?" "What's Segolia looking for?" "A cure." "For wolfbloods?" "For humanity." "One wolfblood gene could be the key to the greatest medical breakthrough in history." "The ability to rebuild cells, heal without medicine - all possible." "I can't believe you get to be a part of this." "It's incredible!" "Now you get to be a part of it, too." "Er..." "Your friends don't know you're here, do they?" "I wanted to tell them, but how can I?" "All of this, they'll never see it as anything more than a threat." "Like I was." "Shannon, I was wrong to pursue the Smiths the way I did." "But Segolia's work thrives on openness, on sharing knowledge, ideas, human and wolfblood." "For mutual benefit." "My friends won't see it like that." "Ollie!" "If they understood how important this work is, they mightn't be so quick to condemn you." "You think I should tell them?" "Well, if you can keep their secret, I'm sure they can keep yours." "Why do you always stop talking the second I arrive?" "We're just discussing some of Segolia's more specialist work." "If Shannon understands, I'm sure I'll pick it up." "Sea cucumbers." " Sea cucumbers?" " Fundamental in cancer research." "Why?" "They can heal themselves, and if we can understand why, then maybe we can one day, too." "It's hardly the Hadron Colander, is it?" "No." " I think you mean..." " Yeah, back to work." "Okay." " Kay." " I'll set Katrina on you." "What've I got to do?" "I just cleaned a toilet!" " Flush yourself down it next time." " You think I haven't tried?" "Look, you don't have to forgive me, not if you don't think I deserve it, and I'm not going to try and defend myself or anything." "I just..." "What I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry." " Oh, no." " Wh...?" "I'll be, like, two seconds." "All right, Mrs V?" " I need a word with Rhydian." " Why's that?" "Oh, it's Ollie." "He never showed up for school." "Rhydian's not here." "What?" "Tom, this isn't exactly a good time." "Mrs Vaughan is looking for you." "'What?" "Why?" "'" "Ollie's missing." "'No, he's with me!" "'" "Well, then bring him back." "Ollie saw Jana wolfing out and now he's run off!" " Mrs Vaughan wants to speak to you." " 'No!" "No, no!" "'" "Tell her Ollie called me and I'm taking him straight back to the Kafe, Okay?" "Just keep her there!" "Okay." "All right." "Well, I'll see you soon." "Okay, right." "Bye-bye." "Yeah." "Well?" "Ollie was upset, called Rhydian about ten minutes ago and then Rhydian just went out to go get him." "They'll be back here any minute." "I thought you said Rhydian had food poisoning?" " Ollie!" " Stay back!" "Keep away from the edge." " What is she?" " She's my friend." "Her eyes changed, I saw!" "She looked right at me!" "She talks about humans, like she isn't one." "I heard you this morning." "You were spying on us?" " This went crazy!" " Mrs Vaughan is looking for us both." "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me the truth." "Ollie, Ollie..." "Ollie!" "It's all right." "I used my superpowers to catch him." "I don't think we're going to be able to give this back together, mate." " Never worked that great, anyway." " What is it used for?" "To detect ghosts." " Sorry." " It's all right." "Maybe I'm just crazy." "No, you're not." "I'm going to tell you something that no-one else knows except for Rhydian." "But you've got to keep it a secret." "Do you promise?" " Jana..." " It's all right." "I promise." "I can see into the past." "When that happens, my eyes go all... you know." "Like superpowers?" "Kind of." "Most of the time I can control it, decide when to use it, but this time I couldn't." "Why not?" "Because something terrible happened here." "People hunted, because they were different." "They want to be remembered." "Right." "Come on, man." "We should get you home before Mrs Vaughan calls the police or something." "Ollie's right." "What?" "If they're not remembered, then this place is only ever just going to be the place where they died." "What are you talking about?" "We should be making a memorial." "What?" "Nothing." "I haven't seen you like this in a while." "Then help." "I've got to take Ollie home." "Take yourself." "I'm staying with Jana." "Oh, it's so undramatic." "Sorry?" "Given what it is, you'd almost want it to glow or something." "But..." "DNA's DNA." "Is that... is that a pizza?" "That's pretty old." "Well, so am I." "Ugh!" "Now, you look like a scientist." "Tell me, what is this sample telling you?" "Um... wolfbloods don't like pizza?" "Alexander Kincaid, this is my department." "Shannon Kelly." "Work experience." "Oh, I know who you are." "So, you've brought us a wild wolfblood DNA sample?" "Um... yeah." "Wow." "You really are good, aren't you?" "Mr Kincaid, sorry, we were just clearing away." "Not a problem." "Just wanted to meet our newest victims." " Kara, Shannon, this is Alexander Kincaid." " Hi." "Head of research and development at Segolia." "And just as dull as that sounds." "Food poisoning?" "It's very creative." "I presume that was you impersonating your mother this morning?" "Home." "You stay and do whatever Kara or Katrina asks until closing." "We shall talk later." "You know, I don't know what you were doing and frankly I don't care." " Sir, this is my fault..." " I don't want to hear it." "Not any more." "You've had your fair share of warnings, so let me give you your last." "One more misstep, you're both out." "Do you understand me?" " Yes, sir." " Yes, sir." "Thanks for your help, mate" "No, no, no, no." "You don't get to have a go at me." "I've literally been cleaning up after you all day!" " So you called Jeffries then?" " No!" "But I wish I had." " I'll give you guys a lift home." " Okay." " Thank you, Dr Whitewood." "For everything." " You're welcome." " My pleasure." " Mr Kincaid." "Shannon." "Um..." "I hope you know that what you've given us could change people's lives." "Aww..." "Speaking of which," "I don't want you worrying about your current situation." "My parents had it rough too." "I want to make it clear that... that if one day you decide to come and work for us, which, you know, I think you should, then whatever... overpriced university hellhole you decide to go to... it's on us." "Just think about it." "I will." "Thank you..." "This is just the beginning, Shannon." "I'll see you soon, Dr Whitewood." "It's Becca." "And I hope so." "Dacia, can we just...?" "Maybe she wants one for the road." "What are you doing here?" "You wanted answers." "So did I." "I'm so sorry, Rhydian." "Gerwyn stole." "Your dad was a fraud." "He used you." "It's all in there." "I am your friend, Rhydian." "Whatever you might think." "So you went to Segolia?" "Look, it's not how you think." "Why did you lie?" "Because I knew you'd be unfair." "The things they're doing." "They want to pay my way through university." "Glad to know SOMEONE'S getting everything handed to them on a plate!" "Hey!" "I've never been handed anything." "Why do you always go out your way to misunderstand me?" "!" "Get out of my way." "What exactly have I misunderstood?" "Shannon lied to me." "Like Dacia, Dad." "What exactly have I misunderstood?" "!" "People lie to protect themselves." "We lie all the time." "At school, when we act human, to Ollie." "It's not the same." " Yeah, it is." " No, it's not." "Yes, it is!" "Everyone lies, and everyone's got their reasons." "This is why we lie." "If our secret gets out, then some people will want to hurt us." "So if Shannon's lied, your dad... they've got their reasons too." "I'm sorry." "Today was supposed to be about you." "Me and my mum just wanted to make you happy." ""Make peace with the past so it won't spoil the present."" "Is that a human saying?" "You always make me happy, Rhydian." "Something bad is going to happen tonight." "Something very bad." "Comets have always been associated with doom and destruction." "Hi, Becca." "I'm being forced to spend the night with a mad scientist who drove away my pack and locked me in a cage." "It was the back of that car!" "Right, get them on the benches." "Careful, mind his head." "No!" "We're running out of time." "We can't take them to the hospital." "They'll be in for days." "They'll run tests."
