What happened?

- I have to go.
- Now...?

We're kind of
in the middle of something.



I totally forgot.
We got carried away.

Five minutes.

No, I-I... really,
I have to get my camera.

I have models waiting for me
at the studio. I'm sorry.

Could you, please?

(Heartbeat)

Is this what they mean
by "suffering for art"?

My suffering,
your art?

I-I'll get out
as soon as I can

and I'll come right back here and
I'll make it up to you, okay?

- Where are you from?

Small enough for you
to make your mark.

Good.

Tell me what you know
about the Danvers family.

Creeps in the country?

They're hot, but weird.
What do you know?

Just what
I've been told.

They think they
can set the rules.

What rules?

It doesn't matter.

I'm here to break them.

Would you like to come
back to my place?

- No.
- Why not?

Because you're a slut.

Be careful out there.

Oh, jeez, you are gonna kill me
one of these days.

- Hi.
- Hi.

So, where
were we, huh?

Mm...
How was your shoot?

Mm... tiring.

I had to pull
an all-nighter.

Did you get
what you needed?

- Pretty sure, yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah. Woman:
For now.

And while I was out,
all I could think about was you.

Your lips on mine...

(Soft grunt) and your
hands on my hips.

And this...
(Panting)

What my hands
can do.

Man: To fully actualize self, we have
to acknowledge who we really are.

It's what Carl Jung referred
to as the animus for males

or the anima for females.

These are the sides of us that we hide
beneath what he calls the persona,

and in applying these
theories to anthropology,

specifically the study
of human behaviour...

I'm not so much interested
in what we hide,

but why we hide it.

What deep desires
are we repressing?

And if we tore down
our personas,

what sort of beast
lies within?

Woman: When he coined the
terms "anima" and "animus",

you don't really think
he meant beasts within us,

do you,
Professor Danvers?

We are animals,

all of us.

The only difference between
humans and anything else

is the persona,

the mask behind which
we hide all desires,

everything that scares us
about ourselves.

- Man: So, what's on your mind?
- Woman: It happened last night.

- It almost happened in front of Philip.
- But it didn't, right?

I had to lie to get away.

It was like...

My whole body
was rioting against me.

I had to change in an alley.

Well, how long did you go
between your runs this time?

- 37 days.
- Are you insane?

- I don't know, you're the shrink.
- Psychologist.

Well, the offer stands
if you want to run with me.

I miss running in a pack.

Okay, Logan, don't take
this the wrong way.

I love you and I am so grateful to have
you in the city, but I don't want to run.

Period.

I don't want to make
a social outing of it.

Okay. But you have
to get on a schedule.

Once a week, otherwise this is
just going to keep happening.

You push the change until
it finally overtakes you.

(Door buzzer buzzing)

That's my 11:00 o'clock.

- I'll clear out. Thanks.
- Want to grab a sandwich for the road?

Yeah.

At least I know I'm
not going to wolf out

in the middle of Philip's
award thing tonight.

His whole family's
going to be there.

Oh, well then, you're lucky the change
forced itself on you when it did.

Next time you might
not be so lucky.

Listen, no one's gonna judge you
if you can't make it out here.

You can always
go back home.

I am home now.

(Bird squawking)

Blue!

(Barking)

Blue, what you got, boy?

(Panting)

Dang it.

Dammit, Blue,
what you got?

(Whimpering)

Huh?

Oh, Lord.

Woman: God, look at that bicep!
Or is that a thigh? (Chuckle)

Either way, I have to
get back to Crossfit.

And that, tell me
it's gross.

Who am I kidding? I would eat that
brownie out of the garbage if I could.

Or you could
just have some.

I'm on a cleanse.
You read Goop?

I don't know
what that means.

- When did you get this?
- Oh, six month anniversary present.

I assumed you helped
him pick it out.

No, but apparently my big brother's got
some tricks of his own, the sly dog!

OK, these are perfect.

A week from now, the gallery
will be filled with the glitterati,

but no one will care because
they'll be too mesmerized by your photos.

Please tell me
you're coming.

What is your excuse
this time?

Look...

Setting me up with your brother was
one thing, albeit one amazing thing...

But just, you know,
know that

when I'm not at one of
your parties, I'm with him...

Making him happy.

Okay, if you're saying that
to make me stop, fine, you win.

(Cellphone beep)
That is my reminder.

I've got to leave in 20
to get Becky at the airport.

Are you ready for tonight?

The entire McAdams clan,
together at last.

Yeah.

I can't wait to spend
more time with your mom.

Don't lie.
We'll get you through it.

( ♪ )

(Birds chirping)

Blue found her.

Didn't kill her, though.

What the hell
did this to you?

(Brakes squeaking)

(Sniffing)
(Gust of wind)

Well... if it isn't
Boo Radley.

Don't start
with that.

They're quiet, they
keep to themselves.

I'd prefer if more around
here were like that.

Is there anything
I can help you with?

Officer: There's not much anyone
can do at this point, Mr. Danvers.

- What do you think could've done that?
- The coroner will rule cause of death.

That's an animal kill.

Deputy O'Neil, could you get
the tarp out of the truck?

No one else needs
to see this.

Michael Braxton here tells me that
he's heard wolves up your way in the past.

I don't hunt up at Stonehaven, so I'm not
entirely aware of what passes through,

but yes, we've heard
wolves as well.

Officer: Well, the coroner
rules a wolf kill,

I'm gonna wanna do
a one mile sweep of this area,

which will include
your property.

Of course. Anything
I can do to help.

(Message alert chime)
Women: Thanks, Professor.

(Giggling)

(Dialling beeps)

- Prof. Danvers: Hey, Jeremy, what's up?
- There's a Mutt here.

A girl was killed.

I can be back in two hours. I'll deal
with it as soon as I get to Bear Valley.

Come straight here.
I am calling everyone home.

I can handle it.

Clay, I want
everyone here first.

Everyone?

Just come home.

(Hang up click)

Woman: I don't know if it's the right fit.
I mean, it could be great, but...

It's head chef,
like, now, today.

- Yeah, but you don't like the kitchen.
- Yes, but it's my chance to write a menu.

Or, you can
wait six months

for Leo to move
back to France

and you get to be head chef at
a restaurant you already love

with a clientele who
already loves you.

You don't have to conquer
the world today, right?

To Philip McAdams,

marketing guru
extraordinaire.

To you.

The creative can't
create without a muse.

Brace yourself -
incoming.

Ah-h! There's
my big bro!

- Philip!
- Oh!

Hi!

Oh my God, you are way
prettier than Diane described!

- You must be Becky.
- You are so handsome, brother...

- Lovely to see you again, Elena.
- I'm so glad you could make it.

Oh, um, I've... been going
to Philip's things since he was born.

Haven't missed one yet.

- I'm so happy you could make it.
- Of course.

- Let's get you a drink, mother.
- Sure.

Baby sis, kudos
on beating me to the altar.

I have one bit of
advice for you - elope...

Mother's voice: I'm allowed to
be picky about my son's choices.

Diane's voice: Actually, you're not.
Clearly he's a grown man.

He's also my only son.
And he met her on a blind date.

Yeah, set up by me...

Philip:
But you're all right?

I'm good. Honestly,
everything's fine,

it's just... a lot to do
in the next two weeks.

If you need any help,
just let me know.

Oh, God, no! Mother won't let
anyone come near the preparations.

The only thing you need to worry
about is finding a dress.

Oh, I thought I'd
just wear this dress.

W...

Of course, what
was I thinking?

I should find something special
for the special occasion.

I will sort you out
tomorrow, right?

To all the ladies in my
life, finally together.

I wouldn't wanna do
this night any other way.

(Glasses clinking)
Cheers.

(Insects chirping)

- We came as fast as we could.
- Antonio.

- Hmm?
- Nick...

Mm, hey, buddy.

Thought you
were in Italy.

Well, moving the Italian Pack's assets
through Geneva only took a day,

so I spent the rest of the
time on the Amalfi coast.

- Nick grabbed me from JFK.
- Yeah, jet-set over here.

- Where's Jeremy?
- He's downstairs.

(Sniffing)

- Jeremy: Hello, old friend.
- Hey.

- You look good.
- Nick...

- Glad you're here.
- Good to see you.

So what
do you know?

It looked like
a wolf kill,

and the coroner will determine
that soon enough, but...

I could smell it was
not merely a wolf.

We haven't had any problem
with Mutts in our territory for years.

- Who's top of the shit list?
- You see, that's the thing.

I've never smelt him before,
I have no idea who he is.

Some random Mutt comes and
kills in our territory. Why?

The most important thing
is the kill itself.

Whoever this is, they broke a cardinal
rule by killing a human for sport.

They have to
pay for that.

- So what's the plan?
- I've called everyone home.

- We'll deal with this as a Pack.
- All of us?

Everyone
comes home.

- Peter, Logan...
- Elena?

Jeremy:
Yes, Elena.

It's been years
since she left.

She hasn't shown any
signs of coming back.

- Pete and Logan will talk to her.
- If she doesn't come?

She's our best tracker
and she knows it.

She'll come.

She'll come.

Emcee: And the winner of the
Best New Agency Award goes to...

McAdams Creative Solutions.

(Applause, cheering)

Whoo-oo-oo!

- Congratulations, well earned.
- Thank you.

(Indistinct chatter)

Philip: Well, this started
as a simple print ad campaign.

Protect your family,
it's a universal concept.

There's nothing new here...
except what we decided to do next.

For an additional
dollar a year,

they now offer coverage
for the zombie apocalypse.

(Mixed chuckles)

The numbers shot
through the roof

just by shifting an old
concept to a new generation.

All we're selling
is what people already want -

family.

And to protect
the ones we love.

(Cellphone buzzing)
So I'm honoured

that this campaign landed us

best new agency
of the year.

So thank you
to Cassie Awards

and to my own family.

(Cheering, applause)

- What is it?
- How come you didn't call Jeremy back?

I haven't had a chance yet.

A girl was killed by a Mutt in Bear Valley.
Jeremy called a meet.

He expects us all to be there,
it's a family obligation.

Not my family anymore,
so not my obligation.

Just call him back.
You know you have to.

Or at least meet me
and I can tell you what I know.

Fine. Tomorrow, first thing.

(Mixed chatter)

You really think I wouldn't
smell him on my way in?

Seriously...

I may not be garden fresh,
but I don't smell that bad.

Come here.
(Chuckling)

I missed you, kid.

- It's good to see you too.
- You look great.

But if you're here to spring more of
this "us" stuff on me, just tell me now.

No, no, everyone else
is in Stonehaven.

I was supposed to start
the North American leg

of the Neil Young tour.
Instead,

I'll be heading
to the house tomorrow.

See, that's the
thing, right?

We all have
our lives here.

He expects us to just
pick up and rush back.

You're... you're just building
your client base, right?

- You can't leave them.
- Yeah, it's getting sorted out.

It's not like Jeremy's calling
us back for a tea party.

This Mutt does anything
to shine light on our existence,

we don't have these
lives for much longer.

- Which Mutt killed the girl?
- Jeremy doesn't know.

He caught the scent,
but he can't place it.

Well, that's easy. Which one's the
most pissed off at Clay right now?

Besides you?

Clay is reason enough
for me not to go back.

A girl was killed, Elena,
right outside Stonehaven.

The Pack needs you.

What about
what I need? Huh?

My life is here now.

It's... it's a normal existence
where people go to brunch

a-and they don't murder
to hide their secrets!

I just wanna be normal.

Sweetheart, that ship
sailed years ago.

Elena: What if I pop by your office,
to make sure you're there?

I'll be there. However, the doors
are locked on Sundays, so...

How convenient.

- Buzz me, I'll come down and get you.
- You know I won't.

P.S., I know you're going
to be in a sports bar,

with a beer,
watching football.

That is not true.
I'll be watching golf.

You're sure there's nothing
I can do to convince you to...

stay here and watch
me try on dresses?

Mm, nice try.
She's your best friend.

For the million things
that I love about Diane,

her deep, deep passion for
shopping is not one of them.

Well, the fact that
you're doing this anyway,

because it makes her happy,
is possibly number one

in the million reasons
why I love you.

Really?
That's number one?

Yeah... right
this second.

You're just trying to convince
me that I should do this.

- Is it working?
- No. (Doorbell ringing)

- Have fun.
- Mm-hmm.

- Hi.
- Hi.

There's pomegranate juice in the fridge
and coconut ice cream in the freezer.

Bless you!

- Hi.
- Hey. Ready?

So, my designer pal hooked me up
with a little bit of everything for you.

And I made sure they'll all be dresses
that would meet my mother's approval.

So if that one
doesn't work...

Wow. That one works.

I think we're
done here.

Really...?

The first one?

Uhh...

I do kind of love it.

When you find
the one you love,

you can search all you want
and you're gonna come back to it.

- To the first dress.
- Damn you for looking so good in it.

It's not like I'm gonna
upstage the bride.

No, you're gonna
upstage me.

Man 1's voice: 20 bucks
says I bang the blond.

Man 2's voice:
I'd like to see you try.

If anyone's gonna upstage
the bride, it's your mother.

You joke,
but you're right.

Did we order these?

They're courtesy of the
gentlemen at the bar.

He also wanted me
to give you this.

Let me handle this.

Uh... go get him, tiger.

- Well, hello.
- Hi.

- I see you got my message.
- I did.

But you see, I'm having a really nice
drink with my boyfriend's sister.

Boyfriend.
Lucky guy.

Let me ask you...

The drinks I understand,
but this?

Did you really think giving me the
key to your hotel room would work?

- Nothing ventured.
- Thanks, but no thanks.

Oh, just like that?

Ugh... ah!

Ahh, please,
I was just joking!

Uh... Elena?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Look, can we
just keep this between us?

I'm not gonna pry, but...
Screw it, I'm gonna pry.

What was that?

I mean, there's usually only one reason
women know that kind of self-defence.

Sometimes it's to prevent
anything bad from happening.

Other times, it's to prevent
those things from happening again.

The thing about bad families
is they make it easy

to know when you've
landed in a good one.

How quickly you forget
about my mother.

(Chuckling)
Right...

- Jeremy: Sheriff.
- Mr. Danvers.

I, uh, thought
you'd wanna know...

The coroner confirmed
it was a wolf kill.

The locals are calling
for a bounty,

but wolf hunting is
illegal in this state,

so we're asking folks to just
keep an eye out and, uh...

report any sightings.

Now that wolf's had a taste for blood,
it's got to be caught, put down.

Well, we could put traps up
around the property line.

Traps and would-be hunters...
dangerous combination.

You're right.

We would be more than happy
to check out the property for you.

Have a nice day.

Great.

Trigger-happy hunters and a killer Mutt.
This can't end soon enough.

We need Elena.

( ♪ )

Hey.

- I thought you guys would be here.
- Uh, we went out for a drink.

Oh, day drinkers.
Should I be worried?

Well, no need to stage an
intervention just yet, no.

Are you sure?
Because, Elena Michaels,

your behaviour has affected
me in the following ways...

I now have six kinds
of tea in my kitchen

and zero kinds of
beer in my fridge.

And I sleep on
a side of the bed

and I cannot remember
the last time

that I brought home
a whole roasted chicken

and just ate
the entire thing.

Wow, I had no idea
the impact I have on your life.

(Message alert chime)

Home?

Where's home?

Jeremy Danvers is a part
of my extended family.

- Not one of those foster homes?
- No. Real family.

Sort of. I-it's, uh,
it's complicated.

And where the hell were they when
you were bouncing around the system?

I didn't know
that they existed.

And they certainly didn't know
I existed until I was an adult.

So that's home?

Yeah.

About 100 miles
west of Syracuse.

But Toronto is
my home now, so...

- Look, forget it, I... I'm ignoring it.
- They're your family.

Saying no to family
is a slippery slope.

Call them back.

Okay.

(Remote phone ringing)

(Phone ringing)

Hello?

It's good to hear
your voice.

(Sigh)

It got disconnected.

They live in the middle of nowhere.
The phone lines go out all the time.

I'll... I'll try
again later.

It's gonna be okay.

- Thank you.
- Hmm.

- She hung up.
- What are you doing answering the phone?

We're trying to get her here, not
remind her of the reasons why she left.

She's not gonna call back.

( ♪ )

(Howling in the distance)

Well... this is a pleasant surprise.
I thought you didn't wanna run with me.

I'm allowed
to change my mind.

I thought maybe you'd be
at Stonehaven by now.

I've got a patient
in a tailspin,

so I can't get away until
tomorrow afternoon, but...

A meet is a meet.
We can't ignore that, right?

Alright, let's go.

We go home,

resolve
this Mutt issue,

come back to
our lives here.

It's like we're soldiers.

- We're family.
- In this case, it's the same thing.

Listen,

Did you sleep?

- How's your back?

Oh, coyote took a good run
on me, but it's not a big deal.

So, what excuse you giving Rachel
about going back to Stonehaven?

Well, you've just got to
make it serious enough

so they don't ask
questions, and vague enough

so you don't get caught
up in the details.

Cousin got in a car accident, it's serious.
That's all we know.

It's just, I've never had to qualify
my relationship with you to somebody.

We're cousins. Rachel
never questioned that.

And in the grand scheme of things,
we're related because of what we are.

So, it's not
a total lie.

I just wish we didn't have
to lie to them at all.

Yeah, but think, once we're there,
we can run free, no questions asked.

Okay well, see,
that's the problem.

'Cause the minute that I get out
there, the questions start.

Clay grilling me
on my year away...

I couldn't possibly
tell him about Philip.

Yeah. Unless you want to
put Philip's life at risk.

(Sigh)
No, I'm kidding.

Well, sort of.

But listen, that coyote was coming at me.
You had my back, right?

That's what we do
for each other.

That's why Jeremy's
calling you back home.

The Pack needs you.

What if I want out
altogether?

(Sigh)

You're a werewolf,
Elena.

Ultimately,
there is no "out".

I'll be on the first train.

It's the right
thing to do.

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Were you on a shoot?

Woke up, surprised

Um, no.

I was with Logan.

Logan...
Your therapist?

Uh, Logan's not

He is my cousin.

Your cousin?

Yeah, our family tree is
more like a forest. So...

Why wouldn't you just tell
me that from the get-go?

Look...

I don't like talking about
my messed up family.

But there was
a car accident.

One of my cousins was pretty bad, so
I should probably go and be with them.

They'll need help
with the kids.

(Sighing)

I'm sorry.
Go, take care of them.

Thank you.

And when you come home, I want
to hear about the rest of them.
