Episode #10 The Call of the Wild

---

Still working on instinct, RHYDIAN JUMPS BACK, putting

distance between them - his mouth forms a defensive SNARL

But CERI (36) - straggle-haired, torn clothes, looks like

she’s lived rough forever - simply stares at him.

Her intensity, her obvious amazement as she looks him over

rings bells in RHYDIAN’s head. He half-knows where this is

going, who she’s going to turn out to be, and that just makes

him ever more angry

RHYDIAN:

What d’you want? Who are you?

CERI:

I’m your mother.

RHYDIAN:

I don’t have a… You’re not, you

can’t be…

He can’t breathe. He takes a step back - the world is

spinning, her voice seems to be coming from a long way away

CERI:

I am, Rhydian. I am your mother.

She reaches hesitantly to embrace him - not sure he’s ready,

but she can’t help herself, she just wants to hold her son RHYDIAN

No!

RHYDIAN turns and RUNS. CERI is mortified.

MADDY:

We’ll go back to the rope swing atdusk, when the ground’s damp -

it’ll hold her scent better. Anymore thought on who she might be?

Rhydian? Rhydian, are you evenlistening?

RHYDIAN:

Just forget we ever saw her.

The BELL RINGS. RHYDIAN snatches up his satchel and headsfor the door so fast he leaves the shocked MADDY behind.

Morning break. TOM is involved in a kick-around with SAM and

LIAM. He waves at RHYDIAN - come join in! But

RHYDIAN, leaning on a wall, brooding, ignores him.

Until he sees MADDY heading across the yard towards him.

Rhydian MADDY

RHYDIAN:

I’m practicing.

And suddenly he’s hurrying over to barge into the kick-

around! MADDY grits her teeth: she knows he’s avoiding her.

KATRINA:

Who wants to see our routine?

The 3K’s arrive, and strike a pose *

And they’re off! The kick-around stops so the footballerscan watch, PUPILS stop what they’re doing to watch theroutine THE

THREE K’S

Go, Go, Bradlington High! Kick

that ball right to the sky! Beat

that awful Baron’s Mill: show them

they are over the hill!

The lyrics may not be their strong point, but the athletics,

and their sheer enthusiasm, make up for it! WHOOPS and CHEERS

from the PUPILS, SAM, LIAM, TOM…
