01x06 - Control

[bunniefuu]

The wolfblood secret is out and the world is reeling as humans and wolfbloods try to work out how they can live together.

In a remote location, a top-secret investigation is under way.

Who are you?

We want to know how dangerous you really are.

I need you to tell me everything.

I'm onto you. How does that make you feel?

Smith!

Show me. Show me how that makes you feel.

Smith, that's enough!

Aargh!

What bothers me is if the gene mutates.

I've heard there's one in the States can already do eolas on regular people. I mean, imagine if that becomes the norm, how do you fight that?

What if they learn to do that ansion thing on us. I mean, that's a fast-track to blackmail and brainwashing.

I can't even taste this because they've stunk up the room.

Mr. Smith, I don't appreciate your personal views.

Neither do I like the strategies you've been using.

You don't want results?

I want a fair and honest enquiry.

Last night, you tried to entrap that girl into wolfing out.

If she can't control herself in here, she cannot control herself out there.

And that wasn't even the worst breach of procedure I've seen from you this week.

Ma'am, if we play by the rules, we are at a serious disadvantage, because they do not.

Now, we've both read the intelligence, there is a wolfblood within our organisation, it said.

If I've understood your brief correctly, we've got to take out their leader now.

I can get you the evidence to do that and I suggest for all our sakes you let me.

Mr...

Good morning.

I would like to begin today by talking about...

Control.

We were talking about control, weren't we?

Now, you might be able to fight the urge to wolf out, though I doubt it, but clearly others can't.

All wolfbloods can control their wolf.

Really? All of them?

Hm.

Say that again. I dare you.

I said, you clearly got off on the violent att*cks that we all saw online.

I took out some muggers.

What's wrong with that?

Look, I'm pouring my heart out here, you're not even listening to what I'm saying.

Get off her!

Selina!

Are you OK? You all right?

Selina! Selina!

Drop the bag and you can go.

Selina.

I've so got this.

Don't forget, I gave you the chance to walk away.

This is going to be good.

Come on, then.

[Selina growls]

Awe... some.

I think we should return this.

What's wrong is you could've completely lost control, you could've ripped his head off.

I'm highly disciplined.

You're a practitioner of martial arts.

That's one way of putting it.

Another is I'm totally awesome.

She has so got this.

So you're drawn to fighting?

It's not fighting, it's a way of life.

It makes you a better person.

Come on, Selina.

Enough. I can't carry on.

A better person who likes hurting people?

I know what you're trying to do.

It's not your fault.

You're a wolfblood.

[He growls]

It's your instinct to att*ck.

A wolfblood is not a wolf.

We control our instincts just like you.

Always?

Oh, spat with the boyfriend?

He's not my boyfriend.

Don't know why I'm surprised.

You don't even have any friends, let alone a boyfriend.

We're her friends.

I mean friends that you actually want to look at.

Oi.

I don't need you fighting my battles.

What did you say?

You heard.

That's it, run away with your little friends.

Did you see her trying to start with me?

Selina, look at your hand.

Always.

I've seen what you become. You're always trying to control that.

It must be bursting to get out, no?

If you can't control it, you can't exist as an urban wolfblood.

You learn to breathe, learn to stay calm, the same things everyone does when they get angry thoughts, human or wolfblood.

Not everyone hits the street like a vigilante, but you do.

You need an outlet for that thing that's inside you.

One, it's not a thing, and two, I've only ever tried to help people.

TJ, check this out.

What is it?

A little girl, Lauren, left a comment on our site.

She needs our help.

No, look, Sel, my mum's seen the video.

Her dog's been kidnapped.

And her kidnappers are demanding a ransom.

No, look, Sel, my mum is...

Look, how cute.

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Yeah, I got it, your mum's going to investigate, but we can help this girl.

Let the police handle it.

But she's too scared to go to the police.

We're getting her puppy back.

How are you going to do that?

We go with her.

You do realise it's a dark moon tomorrow?

Then we'll go tonight. I'll message her back.

I'm not going to go.

What?

Look, you know it's serious if I'm the one being sensible.

I'm not letting this girl down.

I'll go alone.

Your choice.

Help people, like rescuing puppy dogs, that kind of thing?

Who said wolfbloods were only there for the nasty things in life?

[Whispers] I've picked up a scent. This way.

[Selina sniffs]

[Bang]

[Whispers] It's him.

Stay by.

Which way would he go?

[Dog barks]

[Dog whimpers]

Aw!

He looks terrified.

[Dog whimpers]

Something's not right.

Let's get you home. That's a good boy.

You went to rescue the dog, is that correct?

It wasn't that simple.

Because the dog didn't need rescuing.

John McGingle needed rescuing.

Who?

Jack the Vlogger I think he called himself.

Who's this amazing girl and why do her eyes glow like... like a... cat?

Or a wolf.

Like a she-wolf.

He needed rescuing from you.

I don't know anything about that.

We do. We had a word with him.

Wanted to know why he suddenly stopped vlogging.

He seemed very happy to have somebody to talk to.

Oi!

Please be careful. Please be careful, OK? Don't wee on me.

Don't wee on me, there's a good boy.

Here we go.

[Selina growls]

He said you went wild.

Please, please, please, don't hurt me!

I swear I won't say anything to anyone!

What happened to Lauren?

There's no Lauren. It's my dog, I just...

And I just wanted to know who you were. Please, don't hurt us.

Here, here.

Selina.

'He said you had to be dragged off by your friend.'

I never meant to...

I didn't even see anything.

I... I swear. Look, just don't hurt us and I'll delete the site, I'll never mention the she-wolf again.

Do you swear?

Yeah, yeah, I swear.

Come on. Come on, get up.

Is that what you mean by helping people?

Did you see what I did to him?

I tried to tell you, but...

I thought I was doing good.

You were.

But you've got to stop now.

He saw my wolf.

He doesn't know who you are.

It was a one-off.

And am I being charged for something here? Because I don't...

You're not telling me that that's the first time you've wolfed out in a stressful situation.

Break.

My belt.

Oh, come on! Selina.

Get off. Get off me!

Don't think she needs mouth-to-mouth, TJ.

What is he doing?

Get off me, TJ!

Look at your hand.

Are they holding hands?

What?

I'm betting it happened all the time.

Emilia, it's very important that you pivot from the hip and hit.

Hit, hit, hit. Hit, hit, hit!

Will you just hear us out?

I can help.

How many times do I need to say it, I didn't vein up!

He's making it up.

Whoa.

I tried to tell you.

That's because YOU are stressing me out!

Selina, listen.

Back off!

I know how to control it.

I don't think you do.

All that martial arts, all that sophisticated urban kid stuff, it's just a way of kidding yourself, isn't it?

No.

You're trying to rein in your wolf, because you know, you know deep down, you can't trust it.

I can!

Never a doubt, not one?

No.

You never worried about what would've happened if your friend wasn't there to drag you off Jack the Vlogger?

We all have fears, Selina, and I think yours is that one day you're going to go too far, you're going to go too far, someone's going to get hurt, and then what? You're going to end up in a cage, I guess.

Smith.

Tell me the truth. Tell me the truth, Selina.

Do you trust your wolf?

Selina can totally trust her wolf.

The fact that she worries about it just shows how responsible she is.

There's one of your own admitting that her wolf is a thr*at.

If she's a thr*at, you're a thr*at.

Wow, you really hate us, don't you?

Why don't you just admit it and we can all just go...

What are you so scared of?

That we're stronger than you?

We can all go home...

Better than you?

No, you're not better...

That we're going to take over?

Look, that's enough, I ask the...

That you'll go into hiding?

That is enough!

Who's out of control here?

Let's, erm... Let's move on.

Matei Covaci.

What about him?

If you want to talk about hate, let's talk about him.
