TEASER
FADE IN:
1 EXT. WILDERNESS - HILLS - NIGHT 1
As the LIGHTS keep on coming, PULL BACK to find DERMOT and
TORIN, watching the group of GREY WOLVES approaching.
Then, after a long beat, Dermot turns to the wolves behind
him - ROSHEEN, MARCUS and SIOBHAN who are all looking
exhausted and a bit scared at the same time.
DERMOT
Get everyone ready. Full alert, all
hands.
(beat)
Tell them it's the end game.
The three run off and continue to PULL BACK to find our gang -
CHRIS, TWIST, DANYAEL, MARCUS, VIVIAN and the three rebel
vamps of APRIL, BEN and HELEN.
TWIST
So what do we do? We're not exactly
members of your jolly fur brigade.
(beat)
That sounded less dirty in my head.
DANYAEL
No, it didn't.
CHRIS
We'll stay and fight. You know we
will.
TORIN
Thank you. We'll need all the help
we can get for this one.
TWIST
Plus, if all else fails we can just
get Vivian to flash them. That'll
stop them in their tracks.
VIVIAN
(false sweetness)
Either that, or we let you talk
them to death.
Twist punches Vivian in the shoulder – but it's all in good
fun, Vivian smiling.
Twist walks away, GRINNING, following the descent into the
cavern. She's followed closely by Chris, Vivian and Marcus.
Danyael hangs back, moving to speak to the rebel vamps who
shift from one foot to the other, not sure of where they
belong.
DANYAEL
You guys... thanks for your help in
Parker's base. But you don't need
to be here.
HELEN
(beat)
Yes, we do.
APRIL
When Mac... died, we realised that
he gave his life saving lives.
(beat)
And if this is the first battle
that leads us into vampire
armageddon, then I'm gonna die on
the front lines.
HELEN
And me.
DANYAEL
(to Ben)
And you?
BEN
Dude, I am not arguing with two
women. I value my manhood too
dearly.
Danyael manages a smile as we CUT TO:
2 INT. SANCTUARY - TUNNEL - NEXT 2
BLACK FURS rush around, heading down a corridor and snatching
WEAPONS from one corner of the room, ENTERING:
3 INT. SANCTUARY - CAVERN - NEXT 3
A room full to the brim with both black and WHITE FURS who
are talking fervently, whilst heading towards an ENTRANCE -
which overlooks the valley.
HOLD ON the assembled Furs for a long beat before we CUT TO:
4 INT. SANCTUARY - CAVE - NEXT 4
Female FURS, some of them noticeably PREGNANT, are huddled
together within a kind of sanctuary. A small CAMPFIRE sits in
the centre, CRACKLING merrily.
CHILDREN, young Furs, are GIGGLING and playing games with
each other - but their mothers are looking as Siobhan talks
to them in a group:
SIOBHAN
There's a last defence waiting
outside, but in case that goes, you
need to fight to the last woman.
(beat)
There's an emergency tunnel
outside, which'll take you to the
next mountain. Keep running, don't
stop.
Off this gloomy scene and the weary, worried look on
Siobhan's face, we CUT TO:
5 INT. SANCTUARY - CHAMBER - NEXT 5
The camps and TENTS of the Furs are gone, replaced by simply
masses of Black and White Furs.
At the entrances, BLOCKS and BRICKS of various substances are
being used to create barricades and barriers against the
incoming forces.
Rosheen, Marcus and Dermot are there, at the front lines as
we PAN UP and LAND ON:
6 INT. SANCTUARY - BALCONY - NEXT 6
Chris, Twist, Vivian and Danyael are there. Twist is TWIRLING
Duggan agitatedly while Chris is slowly breathing in and out,
preparing for the battle.
Vivian balances her own SWORD in her hand while Danyael is
handing out SWORDS and an AX to the rebel vamps.
TWIST
So... care to place any bets on how
this one's gonna go?
VIVIAN
Let's see. We're taking on a group
of several hundred recently
genetically enhanced wolves having
just lost a good chunk of our best
fighters, so on a scale of one to
ten...
DANYAEL
We're at nine point screwed.
Anything else?
VIVIAN
Nope. Just that...
She SCRAPES the sword along the balcony, SHARPENING it.
VIVIAN (cont'd)
... I'm gonna enjoy proving
everyone wrong.
CUT TO:
7 INT. SANCTUARY - CHAMBER - NEXT 7
Rosheen and Marcus stand side-to-side, hands gently entwined.
MARCUS
You know, as soon as all this is
done... we should get married.
ROSHEEN
(blinks)
Sorry?
MARCUS
I said that when this is done, we
should get the wedding ready.
ROSHEEN
Is... now the right time?
MARCUS
It might be the only time.
ROSHEEN
In which case...
(smiles)
... yes. But you'd better let me
tell my dad. You know how he gets.
The two embrace as Siobhan and Dermot stand to one side.
DERMOT
Said your goodbyes?
SIOBHAN
I'm not leaving. None of us are.
DERMOT
That's not really likely, is it?
SIOBHAN
Everything's likely, Dermot. An
hour ago, I thought I was going to
die getting torn to pieces, but
right now, I'm thinking of what I'm
going to do after this. Not 'what
if.'
VOICE (O.S.)
(male)
That's a good approach, Siobhan.
A tall FIGURE steps out of the shadows, getting Dermot and
Siobhan's attention - and it's none other than KEEGAN.
The seasoned White Fur general looks tired and conflicted, as
if he hasn't slept in ages - but right now, he's got a look
of determination on his face, despite the silence that
everyone in the chamber is now giving him.
Torin, joining the group, moves towards him, confused.
TORIN
Keegan, what are you doing here?
KEEGAN
Conall's coming here. I know that
much. This is my fault, and I'm not
going to hide away in some corner
and let everyone clean up my mess.
(beat)
Old friend, I know we've had plenty
of cause to be at each other's
throats down the years, but it's
time we join once and for all. Are
you willing?
Torin looks down at Keegan's outstretched hand - and then
SMILES, SHAKING it and above them, Twist calls out:
TWIST
Yeah, yeah, we can build a fire and
sing 'Kum By Ya' later. May I
return everyone's attention to the
incoming horde of bad guys?
Keegan and Torin move to the front lines, hands MORPHING into
CLAWS, the garou forms causing CRIES and YELLS of
encouragement from the Furs.
KEEGAN
Let's end this.
Off the swarm of eager, ready Furs, we:
BLACK OUT:
END OF TEASER
ACT ONE
FADE IN:
8 EXT. WILDERNESS – HILLS - NIGHT 8
There's stillness for a moment in the hills, the sounds of
the Furs disappearing into nothing as we PULL ALONG the
hills, LANDING ON:
In the distance, there are no more of the lights, just plain
darkness and deserted woodlands – until a GREY WOLF appears,
FLIPPING and POUNCING onto the hill.
It's followed by DOZENS more of them, one landing square in
front of the entrance to the Sanctuary!
It MORPHS back into human form – revealing a fatigue wearing
TYLER. He looks back, GRINNING at the wolves who have all
reverted into their human forms.
TYLER
Gentlemen...
Tyler turns back to the wolves who are licking their lips in
delight.
TYLER (cont'd)
Welcome to the biggest buffet
you've ever seen.
The HOWLING increases, as Tyler and his goons CRASH THROUGH
the entrance...
9 INT. SANCTUARY - ENTRANCE - NEXT 9
And right into a group of SNARLING Black and White Furs!
Rosheen's one of the first, SLASHING at a grey wolf, GUTTING
him completely and then TOSSING him into the incoming path of
another wolf.
Marcus SLUGS one right in the face, CRACKING the jaw, and
allowing him to SNAP its neck before LEAPING over the corpse
and SLAMMING it another.
Dermot REVERSE KICKS one in the throat before JUMP KICKING
her - landing squarely in one of the SUPPORT PILLARS. He
moves onto another one as we PULL UP rapidly to find:
10 INT. SANCTUARY - BALCONY - NEXT 10
The gang are watching as the melee goes on in a balcony
overlooking the entrance to the sanctuary. Twist anxiously
turns to Chris who seems quite calm for once.
TWIST
Chris, come on! We need to get down
there and help!
CHRIS
Not yet.
TWIST
'Not yet'? Is this some British
thing I don't understand?
VIVIAN
This only works once, Twist. We
need to make sure that it's the
right -
TWIST
Yeah, yeah. Right moment and all
that.
But this doesn't seem to do anything to quiet Twist's worries
as she looks down into the fray...
11 INT. SANCTUARY - ENTRANCE - NEXT 11
... as Dermot is TACKLED by a pair of grey wolves, SNAPPING
viciously at the prone White Fur as he tries to buck them
off.
Suddenly one wolf is THROWN OFF, landing heavily and BREAKING
several things - as Marcus ROARS and RIPS the other wolf IN
TWO!
Dermot nods at Marcus before KARATE KICKING a grey wolf -
right into the path of Torin who PUNCHES him and then STABS
him with one garou CLAW!
Keegan, nearby, SLAMS DOWN into the ground, the force
KNOCKING several back! He SMASHES a wolf into the wall and
then SPINS as Tyler SLAMS RIGHT into him!
Rosheen, hair messed from another fight looks up - as more
and more of the grey wolves come pouring in.
ROSHEEN
No...
PAN AROUND from Rosheen to see the battles going on right in
front of her.
More Furs are falling in battle - a pair of White Furs get
SLASHED in the throat, blood SPURTING out as they drop to the
ground, eyes wide.
Marcus LEAPS OVER and looks at Chris who NODS, before Marcus
turns back to the fight...
... just as CONALL enters, SMIRKING as he watches his wolves
attack.
Marcus' expression turns dark, GLOWERING for a long beat,
before:
MARCUS
Fall back to the line! Fall back!
Immediately as a single force, the Furs move back, across a
distinct line CARVED into the ground.
Conall looks up, suspiciously and then sees a pair of
glimmering GREEN ORBS at either end of the large entrance
hall. And then he looks up and sees Chris' small smile as he
raises his hands.
CONALL
(yelling)
Get back! Get -
CHRIS
(yelling)
Oracunecula!
And the orbs PULSE before a GREEN WALL forms, BLOCKING the
majority of the grey wolves - and VAPORISING those caught in
it!
Conall watches open mouthed as the DUST from the wolves'
bodies fall to the ground, looking up at the grinning gang on
the balcony.
12 INT. SANCTUARY - BALCONY - NEXT 12
Twist flashes Chris a GRIN.
TWIST
Alright, I admit. Glowing wall of
magic doom? Pretty cool.
CHRIS
It won't last for long. Five
minutes at the most.
DANYAEL
So what do we do now?
VIVIAN
You mean apart from helping
preserve the future of every
werewolf in the country?
CHRIS
We'll have to see if the B Squad
can tackle Conall's forces from the
outside.
We CUT TO:
13 EXT. SANCTUARY - HILLS - NEXT 13
B SQUAD emerge from the hills, crawling delicately over the
grass and making no sound as they peek over a hill.
Below them is the large majority of the grey wolves - amongst
them are the familiar faces of BEVIN and SCAR.
The wolves MORPH into their human forms - revealing Siobhan
and a team of a dozen wolves.
Siobhan pulls out a WALKIE TALKIE from her pocket, speaking
into it.
SIOBHAN
Rosheen, Marcus - looks like pretty
much every one of Conall's wolves
are here right now. They've got
everything they need for a mass
extermination. So if you have any
bright ideas...
(beat)
Anyone? Please?
A white Fur male - FLYNN - leans over to Siobhan, WHISPERING
in her ear.
FLYNN
They're moving. Conall's coming
out.
Siobhan moves out and sees Conall striding back to his
wolves, followed by Tyler.
PULL DOWN from the Furs to LAND ON:
CONALL
Who stops dead in front of Bevin and Scar, TURNING to face a
shame-faced Tyler.
CONALL
Forgive me, Tyler, because I seem
to have missed something. I'm
almost positive I asked you to
secure the sanctuary and take down
their leaders as quickly as
possible. I did say that, right?
TYLER
Sir, it's not our fault that we
couldn't catch up to them in time.
The Furs obviously...
CONALL
(beat; blinks)
I'm sorry, what did you say?
TYLER
I said it's not our...
SHINKT! Tyler's eyes BULGE - and a SNARLING Conall walks away
as BLOOD appears against Tyler's throat...
... before his head SLIDES from his shoulders!
CONALL
Because it sounded a lot like 'I
screwed up, please kill me.'
Bevin simply looks on passively as Conall, furious, takes a
deep breath, the rage simmering as he digs around in his
pocket. He pulls out his CELL PHONE after a beat, dialling a
number.
CONALL (cont'd)
(into phone)
Parker! Pick up the phone!
CUT TO:
14 EXT. BASE - NIGHT 14
PAN ALONG the ground, LITTERED with bricks, mortar and
rubble. Continue to PULL ALONG as FIRES burn, LANDING ON:
15 A RINGING PHONE. 15
But no one's answering it.
CUT TO:
16 EXT. SANCTUARY - HILLS - NIGHT 16
Conall SIGHS, hanging up - before looking down into the
valley in which the sanctuary rests.
In the distance, Conall looks out, pulling a pair of
BINOCULARS from his pocket and looking out:
BINOCULAR P.O.V:
Conall ZOOMS IN on something in the distance, clearing as we
find out what it is:
It's a DAM, built right into the valley, holding back an
enormous RESERVOIR.
ON SCENE:
Conall considers this - and then he SMILES.
CONALL
Scar.
Scar moves towards Conall and the others.
CONALL (cont'd)
Assemble a team and get down to the
dam as fast as you can.
SCAR
Why?
CONALL
Because it'll force the Furs out
into the mainland. And then, while
they're occupied, we can strike,
taking them out on the east and
south quadrants of the mountain
range.
BEVIN
But Conall, those villages, those
towns down there... they'll be
wiped out too! They won't have a
chance!
Conall shares a cold look with Bevin.
CONALL
Your point is?
(beat)
Sacrifice is an inevitable part of
war, and until every last Fur in
that cave is dead, we can consider
ourselves still at war.
(beat)
And nothing's going to stop us.
He looks down at the twinkling lights of the peaceful towns
below.
CONALL (cont'd)
Nothing.
SMASH CUT TO:
17 INT. SANCTUARY - ENTRANCE - NEXT 17
The grey wolves are still seething as the now empty entrance
gapes out at them. The Furs and the gang have left,
retreating further into the base.
However, at that moment, there's a SHIMMER of LIGHT and the
wall PULSES out of existence!
The wolves begin HOWLING in delight as they plough forwards,
gaining speed as they enter the main chamber:
18 INT. SANCTUARY - CHAMBER - NEXT 18
Where the entire Furs regiment is waiting, ROARING and
POUNCING onto the oncoming grey wolves.
In the middle are Chris, Vivian and Marcus - Vivian helping
Chris set something up, with VIALS we've seen before.
Marcus checks his walkie talkie, hearing someone talking
through it:
MARCUS
Siobhan?
INTERCUT WITH:
19 EXT. SANCTUARY - HILLS - NEXT 19
Siobhan is in her old position while Flynn and other wolves
prepare.
SIOBHAN
Marcus! Am I glad to hear you!
MARCUS
Sorry, I was getting engaged. What
is it?
SIOBHAN
Conall's planning some sort of
distraction to flush the Furs out
of the sanctuary.
(beat)
Wait, did you say 'engaged'?
MARCUS
What kind of distraction?
SIOBHAN
Oh, the sort of 'blowing the damn
up and killing everyone' sort of
distraction.
MARCUS
Damn it. We'll have to send a team
out to intercept and stop them from
drowning us.
SIOBHAN
We'll join you to head Conall's
squad off. How are things in the
base?
MARCUS
We're hanging back at the moment,
but Chris' defences are keeping
them back.
In the background, Chris THROWS a vial at a group of grey
wolves - which EXPLODES!
SIOBHAN
That's good. Rosheen and Dermot?
Rosheen SLASHES at two wolves at the same time, while Dermot
DROP KICKS one into the path of Vivian who GUTS it, before
moving on.
MARCUS
Busy.
SIOBHAN
Alright, we'll meet your team at
the dam.
(beat)
Take care, Marcus.
MARCUS
(genuine)
You too. Good luck.
SIOBHAN
(lightly)
Who needs luck, right?
But as their conversation ends, we see Siobhan's worried
expression before we CUT TO:
20 INT. SANCTUARY - CHAMBER - NEXT 20
Marcus rushes over to Chris and Vivian - BOUNDING OVER
several bodies that are in his way.
MARCUS
I just got word from Siobhan.
Conall's sending a team down to the
nearby dam.
VIVIAN
Why? That doesn't make sense. He's
splitting his resources.
CHRIS
(realising)
Not if he sets off a chain reaction
of explosions. They'll rip through
the generators and hit us with a
reservoir's worth of flood water.
The towns and the sanctuary...
it'll kill everyone.
VIVIAN
(grimaces)
Oh, God damn these guys and their
plans!
MARCUS
I told Siobhan to go ahead with her
squad and I'd send a team there.
(beat)
I'll go.
CHRIS
No. Your place is here. Your troops
need a leader, and you know the
strength and the skills of these
wolves better than anyone.
VIVIAN
I'll head up the team.
April and Helen, tag teaming a wolf between them finish him
off and rush over to Vivian and Marcus.
APRIL
Count us in.
HELEN
Yeah, we're here for you guys.
Ben, the last member of their menagerie catches up,
SPLATTERED with blood and grinning like a Cheshire cat.
BEN
Me three.
VIVIAN
Fine. Come on, newbies. Call this
your baptism of fire. Or baptism of
water, in case we screw up this
whole 'stopping the dam blowing up'
thing.
They move off as another green wall POPS INTO VIEW, forcing
us to PULL UP and into:
21 INT. SANCTUARY - BALCONY - NEXT 21
On the balcony overhanging the fight, we see Twist sitting
cross legged on the floor with SOPHIA, the young blonde
girl's hair in dreadlocks surprisingly.
TWIST
I'm guessing your hair's a result
of me leaving you playing with
werewolves for too long, isn't it,
pint size?
SOPHIA
Don't call me that.
TWIST
Hey, you should by now that this is
how I diffuse tension.
SOPHIA
You mean with...
She indicates the battle going on below.
TWIST
Yeah.
(beat)
I'm sorry.
SOPHIA
What for?
TWIST
For... for getting you involved in
everything. I mean, you're just a
kid and...
Sophia BLINKS - Twist is suddenly looking a little emotional.
TWIST (cont'd)
And you shouldn't have to deal with
this. You should be worrying
about... third grade, or your
birthday parties or something.
SOPHIA
You have to stop the bad guys, I
know. Dad told me what it's like.
TWIST
I'm just... I'm just so sorry that
I couldn't keep you safe like I
promised.
I knew I wanted to protect you from
everything bad in the world...
She's TEARFUL now - and behind her Danyael almost steps
towards her. He stops, stepping back and away from the scene.
TWIST (cont'd)
And I guess I failed...
SOPHIA
Twist!
Twist looks up into the face of her sister.
SOPHIA (cont'd)
Don't say that. You've saved my
life so many times and right now, I
couldn't be prouder of my big sis.
(beat; smiles)
My hero.
TWIST
(sniffing)
Thanks.
SOPHIA
Besides, I've got Uncle Marcus and
Auntie Rosheen and Auntie Siobhan
to look after me. I'm not going to
get hurt.
(leans closer; whispers)
They're werewolves too.
Sophia's smile breaks Twist's heart as she holds her sister
and simply CRIES. Behind her, Danyael looks on in a strange
awe as he watches them.
Then there's a sudden RINGING, irritatingly loud and all
three look up to see an ALARM blaring...
... as the wall DISINTEGRATES and the wolves ATTACK!
