Wild at Heart (2006) s07e04 Episode Script
Series 7, Episode 4
If we get Leopard's Den back, what are we gonna do with the body? It's got to stay hidden.
I would like to start an endangered species project.
Lynch? What are you doing here? Well much the same as you, I imagine.
If you would pitch together, the grant would be yours.
If it came to it, it would be a 50-50 split.
Just you and me, Danny.
I can't cut Dup out.
Then there's no deal.
Go and tell him you'll be his partner and leave me out of it.
Not without Dup.
It's not fair.
I'm sorry.
I've got to tell him.
It's for the best.
You'll see.
It's a nightmare.
And he's been completely ignoring Anders.
A little bit more there.
That's it.
Believe me, living at Mara under that man's roof while we got this place up and running has not been easy.
There we go.
And I think your dad has lost the plot.
Oh, it's never dull, is it? You can say that again.
Thanks for coming, Rosie.
Oh, no probs.
It's good to be back.
Dad could've been here to say hello, though.
Ah, yeah, well He would've been.
If he'd known you were coming.
On my count.
One Two Ow! Told you not to pull.
Bloody idiot! Well Leopard's Den and Mara are officially one reserve.
Looks like it's gonna be a hell of a lot of work.
Right.
Let's release these two.
Do you wanna do the honours, Danny? Or shall we go 50-50? Begin as we mean to go on? Yeah.
You OK? Yeah.
I never wanted that stuffed shirt for a partner.
You're the one I feel sorry for.
They're brothers, aren't they? Yes.
So they've got a hunting partner.
This'll be our first release of the endangered species project.
With many more to follow.
To the future! The future.
She'll come round.
She'll have to.
Cos this is the way things are now.
That's that.
I had to say no to a black rhino and a mountain zebra because we don't have the pens to quarantine them.
Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, Ed.
No.
Still, we need those pens as a matter of priority.
Hello.
Rosie! Hi, Dad! Dad? Oh, surely not another Trevanion to deal with? Rosie! Hello! There's a sight for sore eyes, eh? What are you doing here? I got expelled from veterinary school for setting fire to a lab rat.
You did what? Joke, dad! I asked her to come.
I thought she could help out.
You know.
With Alice not being here.
Did you now? Yes.
That's what we do.
We muck in.
I'm perfectly capable of picking up any slack.
Don't worry.
I won't tread on anyone's toes.
No, please do.
Everyone else does.
Sorry.
Ed, Rosie.
Rosie, Ed.
Rosie's training to be a vet in Capetown.
Oh.
Another vet.
Well, if we can get some quarantine pens sorted out, you might have some animals to look at.
Great.
How long are you here for? Oh, just a few days.
We've gotta celebrate.
Yes.
No, we should tackle our next job, which I marked urgent.
Fire breaks.
Why are they so urgent? Well, because this place has gone into disrepair.
If we don't do one soon, we're at risk of one stray lightning bolt setting fire to the whole place.
Get out! This thing shouldn't be in here.
Along with pretty much everyone else.
He's a charmer, isn't he? He's all right.
If it wasn't for Ed, we wouldn't be back here at all.
Just give it time.
It'll all be fine.
You can sort it, Dad.
You see? That's the sort of positive energy we've been missing.
Standing up to Ed is what we've been missing.
Take it easy, Caroline.
I'm just trying to do everything for the best.
It's gotta be better than that Peters bloke breathing down your necks.
Right? Absolutely.
Just get you a drink.
Look.
I'm pleased Rosie came back.
Extra pair of hands.
It's one more person to hide a dead body from.
It's still beautiful, isn't it? Oh, yes.
The place just needs a bit of spit and polish.
That's all.
Couple of days should do it.
A couple of days? On which planet? Hey, Fatani.
Liking the new look.
You got a girlfriend or something? No.
I mean I just got some fashion advice from Liv.
I just said, now Fatani's back on the market, he's got to try a bit harder.
And? Is it working? You're kidding! It's only a matter of time till women are falling at your feet! Yo! I've brought some reinforcements.
We'll have that roof finished by tomorrow.
Thabo? Rosie.
Dup told me you were visiting.
Good to see you again.
It's erm sweet of you to help out.
Hey, Thabo.
Take them and start.
I'll see if there's anything else here.
No.
Looks like he was on his own.
Hm.
Maybe it's been separated from its pack.
Or rejected.
Think you can track it? You haven't been away that long, have you? Yep.
It's definitely gone this way.
Now.
Oh, no! Come on! Yay! Yay! Go on! Go! What are you doing? I I I thought it was after you.
It's most likely a she.
Pregnant females tend to burrow.
Oh, she looks hurt.
I'll go and get my kit.
Will you keep an eye on her? Yeah.
No, man! Not there! You Get out! Get out! You mad mutt! Hey! Go on! "Danny, come in.
Are you alone?" No, I'm with Ed.
We're just heading back.
Why? We've got a little bit of a situation here.
"You remember that rusted car?" We've got a rogue hyena there.
Agh! And, and it's digging! Go on! We're just round the corner.
I'll get Ed to drop me off.
I'll be right there.
I'll come.
No, it's just a routine thing.
No.
A rogue pack animal's always a challenge.
I'd like to see it.
I've got everything we need.
Listen.
Just go.
There's nothing here for you.
Come on! Dup radioed.
Said you had a problem.
Nothing I couldn't handle myself.
What did you bring him for? I didn't have a choice.
- Don't leave the poor thing on pain! - Hey! You missed! Oh.
I can be a bit shortsighted.
And bad-mannered! I was thinking of her.
What do you think I was doing? Got her.
Well, this is perfect.
Sorry? This place.
It's near enough to the hospital, yet wild enough to keep the animals in their natural surroundings.
It's got shade, it's got water.
It's the perfect spot.
Perfect spot for? The quarantine pens.
Well build them right here.
See you back at the house.
Quarantine pens? What are we gonna do now? Pray.
No.
The time for prayer's over.
Any digging goes on here, we're going to prison.
I ran all the way here and back to help her.
How dare he suggest I would prolong her pain? Tact isn't Ed's strong point.
Good news.
They're going to see if they've got the pen fencing in stock.
Now we've got the site, there'll be nothing stopping us.
Great.
Hey.
This is a male after all.
It's an easy mistake to make with hyenas.
Must've been digging for food.
He'll be hungry if he's no pack to hunt with.
It's unlikely to find anything but insects underground.
It's meat he'd be after.
The main thing is his injuries.
Yes.
Pretty vicious attack.
From what I know about hyenas, probably made by an alpha female.
Must've really got on her wick.
Speaking from experience? Yes.
If you don't mind, I'd like to treat my patient myself.
Of course.
Yes.
You'll be wanting all the practical experience you can get.
Mind if I observe, see what they've been teaching you in Capetown? Why not? Anders, what are you doing? Eurgh! Don't creep up on me like that! Creep up? What's this all about, anyway? What does it look like? Dung.
Bingo! Yes, but I wouldn't have thought gardening was a priority.
It's not gardening.
It's lion dung.
Ed wants me to spread it around the quarantine pen site.
To repel any scavengers.
Well, unwanted visitors.
I see.
So it's not enough he's reduced you to the ranks of manual labourer.
Now he's actually got you shovelling Caroline, just leave it.
It won't take a minute.
Just leave me to it.
Fatani.
Give me a hand shifting this, yeah? Yeah.
No problemo.
Whoa! Oh! Are you all right? Yeah.
I I just slipped.
That's all.
No worries.
I got it.
I'd better go to the bar.
You seem to have enough help here.
Mind if I come with you? No.
Going to leave an area open to allow the wound to drain.
It'll need to heal by secondary intention.
You're using intradermal sutures? So he can't chew them out before the PDF dissolves.
Your call.
And this way, we don't need to sedate him again to remove the stitches.
How will you follow up, once you've dealt with the lacerations? Antibiotics and analgaesia.
What kind of analgaesia? It'll have to be Carprofen.
Why? Because it's effective and safe and it's er all we've got! That's a good answer.
You don't have to sound so surprised.
Especially since I taught her everything she knows.
You wish! Well, as you say, he's your patient.
Your responsibility from now on.
Agreed? Totally.
Maybe he is a bit pompous.
But he's not as bad as Caroline's making out.
Yeah.
I was hoping maybe you could talk some sense into her.
She was hoping I'd talk sense into you.
How long did you say you were staying? Obviously not long enough.
Good as new.
I laid some lion dung.
No animal will go near it, unless they have to.
Lion dung won't prevent the builders from digging Peters' body up when they start laying the new foundations.
Great news.
The fence pens are in stock.
They'll be delivered sometime this week.
Termites.
Eh? Yeah.
Termites.
Dup was just saying.
There's some huge colonies up there.
Well, get rid of them.
O-ho.
Easier said.
They're persistent little blighters, termites.
Swines.
With all your experience, you're beaten by a few termites? No.
I mean, it's not that we can't do it.
It's just We need to finish this place before we do anything else.
I mean, come on.
I need help with the Electrics.
Electrics.
Yes.
Termites?! Was that your best idea? Well, somebody had to say something! I can't believe I'm in this mess.
And it's all your fault! A small error in judgment.
Oh! And there was me thinking you dragged a dead body into an unmarked grave and dumped us both in I said I am sorry.
I will sort it! Somehow.
Yeah, well, you'd better! And you will oversee every second of this build, because I don't want Lynch anywhere near it! How dare you?! Talking to Anders as if he's some errant handyman when he used to be your partner.
To be fair he's always talked to me like that.
I'm just trying to organise the building of the new quarantine pens.
Yes.
So I heard.
Dumping the entire thing on Anders.
Well, Edward Lynch might be too precious to pick up a shovel.
But I'm not.
I'll help you, darling.
No! - No.
I don't need any help.
- Nonsense.
I want to.
And the roof's nearly finished.
The exercise will do me good.
Where do we start digging? The pens haven't even arrived yet.
Well, just let me know when they get here.
Because I'm not letting you be taken advantage of by some stuck-up know it all.
Was that for me? Yes.
Was being the operative word! This is turning into a nightmare.
I know Thabo's trying to help, but it's like he's rubbing salt into the wound.
Well, time heals all wounds, you know, Olivia.
I guess.
I just need to try and forget about him.
It's the best way.
Take it from me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Here's me banging on.
You must miss Buhle so much.
Well now that time has passed Can I be served? One moment.
Well, you know, I do miss Buhle working at the bar.
That's true.
But not her constant criticism.
'Cedric, are you a man or are you a worm?' That's horrible.
It's Buhle's loss if she doesn't get how special you are.
I think you're special too.
If I'm not served soon, I'm leaving.
Come on.
I'll give you a hand.
And I promise not to slag you off.
What can I get you? Beer, please.
You all right, Dad? Yeah.
Tickerty-boo.
Just, you know.
Got a lot to think about.
So.
How's married life in Capetown? Oh, fine.
Don't worry about me.
Are you sure you don't need a hand with the fire breaks? Positive.
Good luck with the team-building! Hang in there, yeah? I'm working on it.
Rosie? Mm-hm? I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
Right.
All set? Absolutely.
Although, there is a lot to do here and I was wondering whether or not you two really need me.
I mean You can manage, can't you? I think it would be better if we all did it together.
No offence.
None taken.
I don't need my hand holding, thank you very much.
Least of all by him.
So, if we burn down this section here, it'll stop any future fire spreading across the reserve from either direction.
Lynch, why don't you take the right hand section? Dup, you the middle.
And I'll go left.
With five beaters each.
Thabo, you be on standby with the bowser.
Why don't you take the middle? Just in case.
Listen.
I've been firebreaking since you were in boarding school.
OK? Right.
Let's get on with it, shall we? Bloody public schoolboy twit! He really does know what he's talking about.
I don't doubt it.
But it doesn't mean I want him as a business partner.
So stop trying to matchmake.
There.
Good as new.
Oh, thanks, darling.
Every job finished brings us closer to moving out of Mara.
Don't you think you should cut Ed some slack? He's not all bad.
Oh, I see.
He's flattered you.
And you think that makes up for trampling all over Anders.
I thought you'd be on my side with all this.
Why do there have to be sides at all, Caroline? Feels good to work with my old boss again.
Yeah.
Like old times, eh? OK.
Ready when you are.
All set.
OK.
Let's get this show on the road.
I'm sorry, Rosie.
I didn't mean to take it out on you.
It's just I can't get over how Danny's let us down.
Dad said he did all he could to keep Dup in the frame.
And you've got Leopard's Den back.
That makes it worth it.
I suppose.
Only Damn! What's wrong? His temperature's down and his pulse is fast, but weak.
I think he might be going into shock.
Do you want me to call Danny or Ed? No.
My patient, my responsibility.
I'm sorry, yes.
I forgot.
So much has changed, you see.
I'm gonna give him a heat blanket and set him up with a drip.
Will you pass me the saline? Yeah.
Danny! The wind is changing! You'd better get your fire out before it meets mine.
I'm trying! Thabo.
Go and help him.
It's too late.
The wind's blown the fire up to the treeline.
They're starting to catch! This isn't good.
Where's Lynch? Can you see him? Are you OK, guys? All I can see is smoke.
It's heading towards us.
This isn't good.
I need you over here.
The fire is breaking my line! Thabo your bowser.
Get it! Hey, Danny.
It's cutting Lynch off.
Let's get over there! His heartrate's starting to slow, which is a good sign.
I'm so proud of you, Rosie.
You worked really hard to get where you are.
I just hope you don't lose it all when you're older.
Ed's bound to see how great Dup is eventually.
It's just really affecting him.
He's on edge all the time.
He's not sleeping properly, he's not eating he's hardly even drinking.
Dup not drinking? Now, that is a worry! Get back! Cover your faces! That's one of the cheetahs we released this morning! I'll get him to safety! Don't be stupid! Cover me! Dup, no! Thabo.
You need to hose down a path towards them.
Lynch! Don't be bloody stupid, man! Lynch! Cover your face! Come back.
Outside! Something's wrong.
The fire shouldn't have spread that far.
Lynch, are you OK? Agh! What were you thinking? I told you to cover your face.
Come on.
The cheetah went that way.
The cheetah will have to look after himself.
We've gotta get outta here.
What happened? Where's Dad? Dup went to find Ed, but they haven't come back.
So Danny went after them.
Oh, my God! Anders! Caroline, no.
Please, stay back.
We don't need anyone else missing.
He's right.
It will only make things worse.
Not again.
Please, please, please! Not again.
Dup?! Come on, man! You're all right.
You're all right! Keep going! Dup! Trevanion?! Dup? Ah.
I thought I'd gone the wrong way.
Can't see anything.
Quick! Follow me! Aargh! Aargh! No! Danny! I've got it! Danny! It's all right.
OK.
It's OK.
Where are they? Dad! Oh, my God.
Anders.
I'm fine.
Just get your bag for Dup's arm.
Oh, you're hurt! His shirt caught light.
It's nothing.
Thabo, get that fire out.
The hell, it's nothing! What went wrong? It was a freak wind.
One of our cheetahs bolted into the fire.
I'm sorry, Anders.
I didn't mean for you to come after me.
You'd've done the same thing.
You went into the fire after the cheetah? Caroline.
Don't.
It was mostly smoke.
Till the acacia went up.
Your husband was very brave.
How could you let him go? I couldn't stop him.
Well, you should have! Caroline.
No, Danny.
Just take your precious partner and go away! I'll take care of my husband.
I said, go! I'm sorry.
I can't imagine what must've been going through your mind.
I thought history was gonna repeat itself.
I'm fine, though, aren't I? I don't know, Anders.
Are you? I just don't understand why you're letting those two run all over you.
What happened to that strong, wilful, stubborn man I married? He fell on his sword, trying to keep the family home! And he's getting very tired of being punished for it! I mean it, you know.
I've got this place up and running again.
Because I thought it would bring us all together.
But it hasn't.
It's just driven us apart.
Maybe we should go away, you and I.
Go and start somewhere else.
What? I did all this to try and make everybody happy.
Especially you.
And all I've done is make you miserable.
The cheetah's GPS shows it must've come this way.
It should just be through here.
Of course she's angry with me.
It's my fault that Anders got burnt.
It'll heal.
It's just another scar for him to show off in the pub.
Your grandfather's got guts, I'll give him that.
Dup? He's not my grandfather.
Well, he's married to your granny.
No, no.
Caroline's my ex-mother-in-law.
Sorry.
You've lost me.
She's not my mother's mother.
She's my dad's second wife's mother.
And Sarah died in a bush fire four years ago.
She was trying to save a cheetah.
God, I'm so sorry.
That's why Caroline was so distressed.
I didn't realise.
Must've brought it all back for you.
Well, you couldn't have known.
According to this, our cheetah should be around here.
What's that? Oh.
It's a collar.
And it's burnt.
Right.
You'd better get behind me.
If it's injured, it could be dangerous.
Oh, really? They didn't teach me that in vet school.
Thanks for the tip! Point taken.
There! I think he's hurt his leg.
It looks like it might be broken.
Here you are.
You're the better shot.
Oh.
Did you get it? Yeah.
Other animals might have panicked in the smoke and got trapped by the perimeter fence.
I'm gonna go check.
Well, I'd better come.
If that's OK with you.
Yeah.
I'll get him loaded up and check him over back at the hospital.
Maybe we should radio Caroline and Dup to help.
I'm the last person she wants to see.
You and me both.
Well I think it's all out.
Here.
Oh, thanks.
Would you open it for me? My arm's giving me hell.
If I've been difficult, Anders it's only because I'm your wife and I care about you.
I know.
You know, it's just, if If some things were just a bit different than well, they are, then I would make more of a fuss.
What things? Politics.
And we'll just have to do the best we can.
I'll try.
I promise.
I'd appreciate it.
Things are going well, then.
Yeah.
Let's just hope there aren't any more animals trapped out there.
I didn't mean that.
I know you didn't.
Everyone is so out of sorts.
And, weirdly, it's Dup that's been the star in all this.
He hasn't made a fuss at all.
Well, he still has the ability to mess up.
Believe me.
Well, you could've fooled me.
He seems the innocent party in this.
It's not that simple.
Why? What is it? Look.
If you can't tell me, who can you tell? No, you're right.
Dup's fine.
It's me that's got the problem.
Which is? I've tried.
But I just don't know how to make things right.
There you go, ma'am.
Can you do any of that chucking it around stuff? Yeah.
I do it all the time.
That's so cool! Do it again.
Again? That's your fault! You put me off.
You'll have to teach me.
Any time.
What happened? The firebreaking got out of hand.
Everyone's fine.
But it was touch and go for a bit.
Beers all round? I'll get them.
I'm giving Fatani a hand today.
Lucky Fatani.
I think it's all OK here, Rosie.
But we'd best get back.
See if Ed needs a hand.
Hey.
What's that? It's a white-tailed mongoose.
They're pretty rare, aren't they? Yeah, they are.
This one looks like it's stuck fast in the jackal-proofing.
Let's get it sedated.
Yeah.
Hey.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Keep still.
Let's get you out.
Where's Danny? He's checking the fences.
You found the cheetah! Looking at the severity of the fracture, the contamination and the amount of blood lost, there's no way we can save the leg.
We'd have to amputate.
You can't release a three-legged cheetah into the wild.
No.
Well, you can't just put him down.
What's the alternative? Keep him here as some sort of pet? This animal was injured because it was running away from the fire.
That makes him our responsibility.
In that case, I'll need some help.
I'm very unco-ordinated at the best of times.
And I could really do with a drink, just to ease the pain.
It's Well.
Caroline it is, then.
I'll be outside if you need me.
I'm not fond of blood, I'm afraid.
You're none too fond of me, either, are you? But you'll have to get over both if this cheetah stands a chance.
She's got some abrasions above her leg.
Should we take her back? No.
Treat her here.
Minimise the stress levels.
I'll need to clean up the cuts and give her some antibiotics.
I agree.
But make it snappy, before something larger comes along looking for a snack.
No pressure, then! - Hold it firmly.
- It's a leg, not a wet teabag.
I'm trying my best.
Well, you'll have to try harder.
It would help if you turned that racket off.
I always have music when I operate.
Yes.
But you don't always have me assisting.
Is that what you call it? What's that? I said, let's compromise.
Right.
Cutting through the tissue.
You have to focus, Caroline.
It's gonna get a lot worse than this.
Tie off the vessels.
Agh! Oh! Swabs quickly! I can't.
Yes, you can.
Just keep the blood at bay whilst I clamp it.
You just have to do as I say.
Surely that's the most difficult part.
Goodnight.
'Night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Goodnight.
And congratulations on not getting burnt alive! Good for you.
Bye.
So do I get a free drink? You get more than just a free drink.
I'm paying you the going rate.
Are you offering me a job? Nope.
Oh.
Unless I mean would you consider it? - Someone's feeling better.
- Go on, go on.
Off you go.
You know what, though? Working side by side in the field with my dad and bagging it It's what I always wanted.
Oh, me too.
I just wish you were here all the time.
Have you got everything? Yep.
OK.
Let's go.
Excellent work, Caroline.
Just pulling the muscles together now to pad the bone.
Good God.
Is that a smile? It was for the cheetah.
I never said you were a bad vet.
Pass me the clamp, please.
Your husband is a good man, Caroline.
More experienced than me in certain areas.
You mean, anything to do with the great outdoors.
I'm sorry if I've been less than friendly.
No, you haven't been unfriendly, really.
More openly hostile, I'd say! I just can't bear to see Anders treated with such disdain.
Is it too much to ask that you show some respect for the role he's played on this reserve his entire life? I don't suppose you can stay.
Dad No, I know.
It's not fair to ask.
You've got a life in Capetown to think of.
And one long distance relationship in the family's enough, don't you think? Yeah, I think so.
No, forget I mentioned it.
Why don't you pop back to Mara? I'll close up here.
Then I'll bunk down for the night, keep an eye on the cheetah.
I'll fetch you some blankets.
Thanks.
Anders! I, I just came to see how it's going.
It's going very well, thanks to your wife.
She's also very clever at bigging up her husband.
Oh.
Sorry about that.
She's right.
You were a better man than me when the firebreaking went bad.
I daresay you saved my life.
And I owe you an apology.
Accepted.
Tell you what.
I'm looking for someone whose expertise I can trust.
We'll need an official reserve manager.
Sooner rather than later.
Would you be up for that.
Well, I do know the job backwards.
Well, there we are, then.
Great.
I'll start with the quarantine pens.
Find a better site.
No.
Nothing could be better than the site we found.
Nuke the termites, get rid of the car wreck, we'll be ready to go.
Right.
Absolutely.
You won't regret this, Ed.
Anders won't let you down.
Hey! I must've nodded off.
I was sorting some things in the house, thought I'd check up on you.
How's the arm? Oh I'll live.
How's he? Still a bit groggy.
He was stable through the night.
He's looking good.
That's more than I can say about you.
Yeah, no doubt.
Come on.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Sounds like Ed threw you in at the deep end.
You did well.
Oh, no.
I only did what anyone else would do to help.
Nonsense.
You stepped up to the mark and conquered your fears.
She was a star.
Get off! Oh, shoo, shoo! Go away! Go on! I should never have let you encourage him.
And after breakfast, we're out of here too.
Actually I need to tell you something about moving back to Leopard's Den.
Greetings.
I've come to take my new barmaid to her new flat.
Um yeah.
I hadn't actually told them yet.
Sorry.
Look.
I'm not even packed yet.
I'll make my own way to the bar.
Yeah.
Of course.
Um Sorry.
See you guys later.
Fatani's offered me a job.
With accommodation thrown in.
I'll go and see what the noise is.
Liv, we haven't even talked about this.
There's nothing to talk about.
I need to stand on my own two feet.
Yeah.
But don't you think Dad, I've been there.
So have you.
Outnumbered again.
New quarantine pens have arrived.
Already? Oh, fantastic! OK, Mr Reserve Manager, sir.
Are you happy to handle this on your own? It's what you pay me for.
Excuse me.
I'll just be a sec.
Dup? What am I supposed to do now? Well we'll just have to change the site.
I'll tell Ed I've overruled him.
It's not gonna go down well.
Well, there's no alternative.
No, look.
There is.
You just leave it to me.
Dup, he's just started to give you a break.
Look.
I can afford to fall out with him.
You can't.
There's too much at stake.
This is all my fault.
But we mustn't let our little secret my mistake spoil our future.
Let me see what I can do to fix it.
I'll take the blame.
Follow me! Hey, man.
Sure you don't wanna slow down after last night's heroics? What does this look like? Hard work? It is from my side of the bar.
Is something wrong, Fatani? No.
Of course not.
Ready for my shift, as soon as I've moved in.
Hey.
I've left clean sheets and towels on the bed.
Thanks.
What's this? Didn't Fatani say? I've offered Liv a job.
And a place to live.
Yep.
From now on, it's the two of us against the world.
Didn't know there was a war! So, are you gonna help me unpack? Hang on in there, now, won't you? Just hang on in there.
So.
How's he doing? Hi.
Doing splendidly.
Though I think he might be left with a bit of a limp.
Don't worry.
We won't ask you to look after him.
It'll be good to have another cheetah here.
You'd never know now poorly he was.
Let's hope he can find another pack.
I'm just taking some refreshments up to Anders.
Won't be long.
I'll come with you.
Do you wanna join us? Try and stop me! Where the hell is he? Anders.
Come in.
Anders! Where are you? I'm at the site.
By the Y junction.
Who the hell said to move the site? I didn't realise it was set in stone.
You were there yesterday.
You know what Danny and I decided.
Yeah? What happened, Dup? The termites didn't wanna play.
So you single handedly changed the entire plan.
I'm sure it was for the best.
This place is much better than the other one.
Trust me.
Either way, it looks like it's too late to start again, so You had no right to do that without consulting us.
Hang on.
What do you mean, no right? I thought he was Reserve Manager.
He can't even obey simple orders.
Orders? He's not in the army.
You're not his sergeant major.
Danny.
You can't let him do this.
I'll take over.
See nothing else is changed.
Aren't you gonna say anything? I'm sorry.
I'm with Ed.
Well, you're the bosses.
Go ahead, then! Build your bloody quarantine pens! We resign! Oh, for goodness sake, Caroline! And if you think we're gonna live at Leopard's Den with you, think again! I couldn't stomach it! Caroline, let's just talk about this.
No.
You were right, yesterday.
We should start again somewhere else.
Because this simply isn't worth it.
That's not what I meant.
Get our cases.
We'll go back to Clearwater.
What, that dump? Yes! I'd rather live in a dump than spend one more second in that traitor's company! Please.
Caroline! This was not supposed to happen.
I know.
What am I supposed to do? Anders? Are you coming or not? Yes.
Caroline, don't go.
Come back in and we'll sit down and figure it out.
We have to go.
Ask Danny why.
I didn't come all this way to watch you and Dup drive off into the sunset.
I'm sorry, Rosie.
But there's really nothing I can do.
So you're just gonna leave? What about my dad? What about him? He made his bed, he can damn well lie in it! He's got you now.
That's all he needs.
Now more than ever.
Dup? Yeah? Do you think Caroline'll change her mind? Impossible.
She's a woman.
I'm sorry I didn't stick up for you back there.
Don't be.
I told you not to.
If only we'd told everyone all about Peters.
This was always gonna be a problem.
Look.
It's fine.
We had a problem, we fixed it.
Did we? At what cost? I made up the bed and aired the rooms.
We'll be just fine here.
I tried, Anders.
I really tried.
But Danny didn't say a single word in your defence.
I can't have you treated like that.
Leopard's Den or nor Leopard's Den.
I just wanted you to be happy.
I know.
But I can't be happy if you're not.
And to hell with the brave face.
You're miserable.
I can see it in your eyes.
You're a good woman, Caroline.
You're a good man.
So long as we have each other, we don't need anyone else.
Do we? He can still feel his leg, even though it's gone.
I think I know how he feels! Caroline will cool down, Dad.
Sure? I've never seen her so angry.
Hey.
It's not your fault.
I wish I could believe you.
I just can't stand the way that everything's turned out.
I mean, this was supposed to be a new start, but Liv's gone, Caroline's up in arms.
And my wife is thousands of miles away.
Look, Dad.
I've decided.
I will stay for a while.
Really? You're kidding.
Well what about your studies? What about Max? Oh, it'll be fine.
I need to do some fieldwork.
Where better than here, where I'm needed? Yeah.
But you could do fieldwork anywhere, without having a family nightmare on your plate.
'Ey.
I get to be at home, work alongside my old man.
And earn credits for my course while doing it.
What could be better? So, what do you say? Team Trevanion? Yeah.
Team Trevanion.
Not you again! Now, listen here.
I'm trying to read.
Get off! Look.
If you tell anyone about this I'm going to put you in a stew, OK? Are you OK? You look like you've seen a ghost.
It's Peters.
I saw him! You did not see Peters.
This is what you've done to him, you people! He's finally flipped.
Don't let him get to you! I'm not scared of you! Things I've seen, things I've done today Now get out of my house! What's wrong with you? You're frightening me.
I would like to start an endangered species project.
Lynch? What are you doing here? Well much the same as you, I imagine.
If you would pitch together, the grant would be yours.
If it came to it, it would be a 50-50 split.
Just you and me, Danny.
I can't cut Dup out.
Then there's no deal.
Go and tell him you'll be his partner and leave me out of it.
Not without Dup.
It's not fair.
I'm sorry.
I've got to tell him.
It's for the best.
You'll see.
It's a nightmare.
And he's been completely ignoring Anders.
A little bit more there.
That's it.
Believe me, living at Mara under that man's roof while we got this place up and running has not been easy.
There we go.
And I think your dad has lost the plot.
Oh, it's never dull, is it? You can say that again.
Thanks for coming, Rosie.
Oh, no probs.
It's good to be back.
Dad could've been here to say hello, though.
Ah, yeah, well He would've been.
If he'd known you were coming.
On my count.
One Two Ow! Told you not to pull.
Bloody idiot! Well Leopard's Den and Mara are officially one reserve.
Looks like it's gonna be a hell of a lot of work.
Right.
Let's release these two.
Do you wanna do the honours, Danny? Or shall we go 50-50? Begin as we mean to go on? Yeah.
You OK? Yeah.
I never wanted that stuffed shirt for a partner.
You're the one I feel sorry for.
They're brothers, aren't they? Yes.
So they've got a hunting partner.
This'll be our first release of the endangered species project.
With many more to follow.
To the future! The future.
She'll come round.
She'll have to.
Cos this is the way things are now.
That's that.
I had to say no to a black rhino and a mountain zebra because we don't have the pens to quarantine them.
Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, Ed.
No.
Still, we need those pens as a matter of priority.
Hello.
Rosie! Hi, Dad! Dad? Oh, surely not another Trevanion to deal with? Rosie! Hello! There's a sight for sore eyes, eh? What are you doing here? I got expelled from veterinary school for setting fire to a lab rat.
You did what? Joke, dad! I asked her to come.
I thought she could help out.
You know.
With Alice not being here.
Did you now? Yes.
That's what we do.
We muck in.
I'm perfectly capable of picking up any slack.
Don't worry.
I won't tread on anyone's toes.
No, please do.
Everyone else does.
Sorry.
Ed, Rosie.
Rosie, Ed.
Rosie's training to be a vet in Capetown.
Oh.
Another vet.
Well, if we can get some quarantine pens sorted out, you might have some animals to look at.
Great.
How long are you here for? Oh, just a few days.
We've gotta celebrate.
Yes.
No, we should tackle our next job, which I marked urgent.
Fire breaks.
Why are they so urgent? Well, because this place has gone into disrepair.
If we don't do one soon, we're at risk of one stray lightning bolt setting fire to the whole place.
Get out! This thing shouldn't be in here.
Along with pretty much everyone else.
He's a charmer, isn't he? He's all right.
If it wasn't for Ed, we wouldn't be back here at all.
Just give it time.
It'll all be fine.
You can sort it, Dad.
You see? That's the sort of positive energy we've been missing.
Standing up to Ed is what we've been missing.
Take it easy, Caroline.
I'm just trying to do everything for the best.
It's gotta be better than that Peters bloke breathing down your necks.
Right? Absolutely.
Just get you a drink.
Look.
I'm pleased Rosie came back.
Extra pair of hands.
It's one more person to hide a dead body from.
It's still beautiful, isn't it? Oh, yes.
The place just needs a bit of spit and polish.
That's all.
Couple of days should do it.
A couple of days? On which planet? Hey, Fatani.
Liking the new look.
You got a girlfriend or something? No.
I mean I just got some fashion advice from Liv.
I just said, now Fatani's back on the market, he's got to try a bit harder.
And? Is it working? You're kidding! It's only a matter of time till women are falling at your feet! Yo! I've brought some reinforcements.
We'll have that roof finished by tomorrow.
Thabo? Rosie.
Dup told me you were visiting.
Good to see you again.
It's erm sweet of you to help out.
Hey, Thabo.
Take them and start.
I'll see if there's anything else here.
No.
Looks like he was on his own.
Hm.
Maybe it's been separated from its pack.
Or rejected.
Think you can track it? You haven't been away that long, have you? Yep.
It's definitely gone this way.
Now.
Oh, no! Come on! Yay! Yay! Go on! Go! What are you doing? I I I thought it was after you.
It's most likely a she.
Pregnant females tend to burrow.
Oh, she looks hurt.
I'll go and get my kit.
Will you keep an eye on her? Yeah.
No, man! Not there! You Get out! Get out! You mad mutt! Hey! Go on! "Danny, come in.
Are you alone?" No, I'm with Ed.
We're just heading back.
Why? We've got a little bit of a situation here.
"You remember that rusted car?" We've got a rogue hyena there.
Agh! And, and it's digging! Go on! We're just round the corner.
I'll get Ed to drop me off.
I'll be right there.
I'll come.
No, it's just a routine thing.
No.
A rogue pack animal's always a challenge.
I'd like to see it.
I've got everything we need.
Listen.
Just go.
There's nothing here for you.
Come on! Dup radioed.
Said you had a problem.
Nothing I couldn't handle myself.
What did you bring him for? I didn't have a choice.
- Don't leave the poor thing on pain! - Hey! You missed! Oh.
I can be a bit shortsighted.
And bad-mannered! I was thinking of her.
What do you think I was doing? Got her.
Well, this is perfect.
Sorry? This place.
It's near enough to the hospital, yet wild enough to keep the animals in their natural surroundings.
It's got shade, it's got water.
It's the perfect spot.
Perfect spot for? The quarantine pens.
Well build them right here.
See you back at the house.
Quarantine pens? What are we gonna do now? Pray.
No.
The time for prayer's over.
Any digging goes on here, we're going to prison.
I ran all the way here and back to help her.
How dare he suggest I would prolong her pain? Tact isn't Ed's strong point.
Good news.
They're going to see if they've got the pen fencing in stock.
Now we've got the site, there'll be nothing stopping us.
Great.
Hey.
This is a male after all.
It's an easy mistake to make with hyenas.
Must've been digging for food.
He'll be hungry if he's no pack to hunt with.
It's unlikely to find anything but insects underground.
It's meat he'd be after.
The main thing is his injuries.
Yes.
Pretty vicious attack.
From what I know about hyenas, probably made by an alpha female.
Must've really got on her wick.
Speaking from experience? Yes.
If you don't mind, I'd like to treat my patient myself.
Of course.
Yes.
You'll be wanting all the practical experience you can get.
Mind if I observe, see what they've been teaching you in Capetown? Why not? Anders, what are you doing? Eurgh! Don't creep up on me like that! Creep up? What's this all about, anyway? What does it look like? Dung.
Bingo! Yes, but I wouldn't have thought gardening was a priority.
It's not gardening.
It's lion dung.
Ed wants me to spread it around the quarantine pen site.
To repel any scavengers.
Well, unwanted visitors.
I see.
So it's not enough he's reduced you to the ranks of manual labourer.
Now he's actually got you shovelling Caroline, just leave it.
It won't take a minute.
Just leave me to it.
Fatani.
Give me a hand shifting this, yeah? Yeah.
No problemo.
Whoa! Oh! Are you all right? Yeah.
I I just slipped.
That's all.
No worries.
I got it.
I'd better go to the bar.
You seem to have enough help here.
Mind if I come with you? No.
Going to leave an area open to allow the wound to drain.
It'll need to heal by secondary intention.
You're using intradermal sutures? So he can't chew them out before the PDF dissolves.
Your call.
And this way, we don't need to sedate him again to remove the stitches.
How will you follow up, once you've dealt with the lacerations? Antibiotics and analgaesia.
What kind of analgaesia? It'll have to be Carprofen.
Why? Because it's effective and safe and it's er all we've got! That's a good answer.
You don't have to sound so surprised.
Especially since I taught her everything she knows.
You wish! Well, as you say, he's your patient.
Your responsibility from now on.
Agreed? Totally.
Maybe he is a bit pompous.
But he's not as bad as Caroline's making out.
Yeah.
I was hoping maybe you could talk some sense into her.
She was hoping I'd talk sense into you.
How long did you say you were staying? Obviously not long enough.
Good as new.
I laid some lion dung.
No animal will go near it, unless they have to.
Lion dung won't prevent the builders from digging Peters' body up when they start laying the new foundations.
Great news.
The fence pens are in stock.
They'll be delivered sometime this week.
Termites.
Eh? Yeah.
Termites.
Dup was just saying.
There's some huge colonies up there.
Well, get rid of them.
O-ho.
Easier said.
They're persistent little blighters, termites.
Swines.
With all your experience, you're beaten by a few termites? No.
I mean, it's not that we can't do it.
It's just We need to finish this place before we do anything else.
I mean, come on.
I need help with the Electrics.
Electrics.
Yes.
Termites?! Was that your best idea? Well, somebody had to say something! I can't believe I'm in this mess.
And it's all your fault! A small error in judgment.
Oh! And there was me thinking you dragged a dead body into an unmarked grave and dumped us both in I said I am sorry.
I will sort it! Somehow.
Yeah, well, you'd better! And you will oversee every second of this build, because I don't want Lynch anywhere near it! How dare you?! Talking to Anders as if he's some errant handyman when he used to be your partner.
To be fair he's always talked to me like that.
I'm just trying to organise the building of the new quarantine pens.
Yes.
So I heard.
Dumping the entire thing on Anders.
Well, Edward Lynch might be too precious to pick up a shovel.
But I'm not.
I'll help you, darling.
No! - No.
I don't need any help.
- Nonsense.
I want to.
And the roof's nearly finished.
The exercise will do me good.
Where do we start digging? The pens haven't even arrived yet.
Well, just let me know when they get here.
Because I'm not letting you be taken advantage of by some stuck-up know it all.
Was that for me? Yes.
Was being the operative word! This is turning into a nightmare.
I know Thabo's trying to help, but it's like he's rubbing salt into the wound.
Well, time heals all wounds, you know, Olivia.
I guess.
I just need to try and forget about him.
It's the best way.
Take it from me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Here's me banging on.
You must miss Buhle so much.
Well now that time has passed Can I be served? One moment.
Well, you know, I do miss Buhle working at the bar.
That's true.
But not her constant criticism.
'Cedric, are you a man or are you a worm?' That's horrible.
It's Buhle's loss if she doesn't get how special you are.
I think you're special too.
If I'm not served soon, I'm leaving.
Come on.
I'll give you a hand.
And I promise not to slag you off.
What can I get you? Beer, please.
You all right, Dad? Yeah.
Tickerty-boo.
Just, you know.
Got a lot to think about.
So.
How's married life in Capetown? Oh, fine.
Don't worry about me.
Are you sure you don't need a hand with the fire breaks? Positive.
Good luck with the team-building! Hang in there, yeah? I'm working on it.
Rosie? Mm-hm? I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
Right.
All set? Absolutely.
Although, there is a lot to do here and I was wondering whether or not you two really need me.
I mean You can manage, can't you? I think it would be better if we all did it together.
No offence.
None taken.
I don't need my hand holding, thank you very much.
Least of all by him.
So, if we burn down this section here, it'll stop any future fire spreading across the reserve from either direction.
Lynch, why don't you take the right hand section? Dup, you the middle.
And I'll go left.
With five beaters each.
Thabo, you be on standby with the bowser.
Why don't you take the middle? Just in case.
Listen.
I've been firebreaking since you were in boarding school.
OK? Right.
Let's get on with it, shall we? Bloody public schoolboy twit! He really does know what he's talking about.
I don't doubt it.
But it doesn't mean I want him as a business partner.
So stop trying to matchmake.
There.
Good as new.
Oh, thanks, darling.
Every job finished brings us closer to moving out of Mara.
Don't you think you should cut Ed some slack? He's not all bad.
Oh, I see.
He's flattered you.
And you think that makes up for trampling all over Anders.
I thought you'd be on my side with all this.
Why do there have to be sides at all, Caroline? Feels good to work with my old boss again.
Yeah.
Like old times, eh? OK.
Ready when you are.
All set.
OK.
Let's get this show on the road.
I'm sorry, Rosie.
I didn't mean to take it out on you.
It's just I can't get over how Danny's let us down.
Dad said he did all he could to keep Dup in the frame.
And you've got Leopard's Den back.
That makes it worth it.
I suppose.
Only Damn! What's wrong? His temperature's down and his pulse is fast, but weak.
I think he might be going into shock.
Do you want me to call Danny or Ed? No.
My patient, my responsibility.
I'm sorry, yes.
I forgot.
So much has changed, you see.
I'm gonna give him a heat blanket and set him up with a drip.
Will you pass me the saline? Yeah.
Danny! The wind is changing! You'd better get your fire out before it meets mine.
I'm trying! Thabo.
Go and help him.
It's too late.
The wind's blown the fire up to the treeline.
They're starting to catch! This isn't good.
Where's Lynch? Can you see him? Are you OK, guys? All I can see is smoke.
It's heading towards us.
This isn't good.
I need you over here.
The fire is breaking my line! Thabo your bowser.
Get it! Hey, Danny.
It's cutting Lynch off.
Let's get over there! His heartrate's starting to slow, which is a good sign.
I'm so proud of you, Rosie.
You worked really hard to get where you are.
I just hope you don't lose it all when you're older.
Ed's bound to see how great Dup is eventually.
It's just really affecting him.
He's on edge all the time.
He's not sleeping properly, he's not eating he's hardly even drinking.
Dup not drinking? Now, that is a worry! Get back! Cover your faces! That's one of the cheetahs we released this morning! I'll get him to safety! Don't be stupid! Cover me! Dup, no! Thabo.
You need to hose down a path towards them.
Lynch! Don't be bloody stupid, man! Lynch! Cover your face! Come back.
Outside! Something's wrong.
The fire shouldn't have spread that far.
Lynch, are you OK? Agh! What were you thinking? I told you to cover your face.
Come on.
The cheetah went that way.
The cheetah will have to look after himself.
We've gotta get outta here.
What happened? Where's Dad? Dup went to find Ed, but they haven't come back.
So Danny went after them.
Oh, my God! Anders! Caroline, no.
Please, stay back.
We don't need anyone else missing.
He's right.
It will only make things worse.
Not again.
Please, please, please! Not again.
Dup?! Come on, man! You're all right.
You're all right! Keep going! Dup! Trevanion?! Dup? Ah.
I thought I'd gone the wrong way.
Can't see anything.
Quick! Follow me! Aargh! Aargh! No! Danny! I've got it! Danny! It's all right.
OK.
It's OK.
Where are they? Dad! Oh, my God.
Anders.
I'm fine.
Just get your bag for Dup's arm.
Oh, you're hurt! His shirt caught light.
It's nothing.
Thabo, get that fire out.
The hell, it's nothing! What went wrong? It was a freak wind.
One of our cheetahs bolted into the fire.
I'm sorry, Anders.
I didn't mean for you to come after me.
You'd've done the same thing.
You went into the fire after the cheetah? Caroline.
Don't.
It was mostly smoke.
Till the acacia went up.
Your husband was very brave.
How could you let him go? I couldn't stop him.
Well, you should have! Caroline.
No, Danny.
Just take your precious partner and go away! I'll take care of my husband.
I said, go! I'm sorry.
I can't imagine what must've been going through your mind.
I thought history was gonna repeat itself.
I'm fine, though, aren't I? I don't know, Anders.
Are you? I just don't understand why you're letting those two run all over you.
What happened to that strong, wilful, stubborn man I married? He fell on his sword, trying to keep the family home! And he's getting very tired of being punished for it! I mean it, you know.
I've got this place up and running again.
Because I thought it would bring us all together.
But it hasn't.
It's just driven us apart.
Maybe we should go away, you and I.
Go and start somewhere else.
What? I did all this to try and make everybody happy.
Especially you.
And all I've done is make you miserable.
The cheetah's GPS shows it must've come this way.
It should just be through here.
Of course she's angry with me.
It's my fault that Anders got burnt.
It'll heal.
It's just another scar for him to show off in the pub.
Your grandfather's got guts, I'll give him that.
Dup? He's not my grandfather.
Well, he's married to your granny.
No, no.
Caroline's my ex-mother-in-law.
Sorry.
You've lost me.
She's not my mother's mother.
She's my dad's second wife's mother.
And Sarah died in a bush fire four years ago.
She was trying to save a cheetah.
God, I'm so sorry.
That's why Caroline was so distressed.
I didn't realise.
Must've brought it all back for you.
Well, you couldn't have known.
According to this, our cheetah should be around here.
What's that? Oh.
It's a collar.
And it's burnt.
Right.
You'd better get behind me.
If it's injured, it could be dangerous.
Oh, really? They didn't teach me that in vet school.
Thanks for the tip! Point taken.
There! I think he's hurt his leg.
It looks like it might be broken.
Here you are.
You're the better shot.
Oh.
Did you get it? Yeah.
Other animals might have panicked in the smoke and got trapped by the perimeter fence.
I'm gonna go check.
Well, I'd better come.
If that's OK with you.
Yeah.
I'll get him loaded up and check him over back at the hospital.
Maybe we should radio Caroline and Dup to help.
I'm the last person she wants to see.
You and me both.
Well I think it's all out.
Here.
Oh, thanks.
Would you open it for me? My arm's giving me hell.
If I've been difficult, Anders it's only because I'm your wife and I care about you.
I know.
You know, it's just, if If some things were just a bit different than well, they are, then I would make more of a fuss.
What things? Politics.
And we'll just have to do the best we can.
I'll try.
I promise.
I'd appreciate it.
Things are going well, then.
Yeah.
Let's just hope there aren't any more animals trapped out there.
I didn't mean that.
I know you didn't.
Everyone is so out of sorts.
And, weirdly, it's Dup that's been the star in all this.
He hasn't made a fuss at all.
Well, he still has the ability to mess up.
Believe me.
Well, you could've fooled me.
He seems the innocent party in this.
It's not that simple.
Why? What is it? Look.
If you can't tell me, who can you tell? No, you're right.
Dup's fine.
It's me that's got the problem.
Which is? I've tried.
But I just don't know how to make things right.
There you go, ma'am.
Can you do any of that chucking it around stuff? Yeah.
I do it all the time.
That's so cool! Do it again.
Again? That's your fault! You put me off.
You'll have to teach me.
Any time.
What happened? The firebreaking got out of hand.
Everyone's fine.
But it was touch and go for a bit.
Beers all round? I'll get them.
I'm giving Fatani a hand today.
Lucky Fatani.
I think it's all OK here, Rosie.
But we'd best get back.
See if Ed needs a hand.
Hey.
What's that? It's a white-tailed mongoose.
They're pretty rare, aren't they? Yeah, they are.
This one looks like it's stuck fast in the jackal-proofing.
Let's get it sedated.
Yeah.
Hey.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Keep still.
Let's get you out.
Where's Danny? He's checking the fences.
You found the cheetah! Looking at the severity of the fracture, the contamination and the amount of blood lost, there's no way we can save the leg.
We'd have to amputate.
You can't release a three-legged cheetah into the wild.
No.
Well, you can't just put him down.
What's the alternative? Keep him here as some sort of pet? This animal was injured because it was running away from the fire.
That makes him our responsibility.
In that case, I'll need some help.
I'm very unco-ordinated at the best of times.
And I could really do with a drink, just to ease the pain.
It's Well.
Caroline it is, then.
I'll be outside if you need me.
I'm not fond of blood, I'm afraid.
You're none too fond of me, either, are you? But you'll have to get over both if this cheetah stands a chance.
She's got some abrasions above her leg.
Should we take her back? No.
Treat her here.
Minimise the stress levels.
I'll need to clean up the cuts and give her some antibiotics.
I agree.
But make it snappy, before something larger comes along looking for a snack.
No pressure, then! - Hold it firmly.
- It's a leg, not a wet teabag.
I'm trying my best.
Well, you'll have to try harder.
It would help if you turned that racket off.
I always have music when I operate.
Yes.
But you don't always have me assisting.
Is that what you call it? What's that? I said, let's compromise.
Right.
Cutting through the tissue.
You have to focus, Caroline.
It's gonna get a lot worse than this.
Tie off the vessels.
Agh! Oh! Swabs quickly! I can't.
Yes, you can.
Just keep the blood at bay whilst I clamp it.
You just have to do as I say.
Surely that's the most difficult part.
Goodnight.
'Night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Goodnight.
And congratulations on not getting burnt alive! Good for you.
Bye.
So do I get a free drink? You get more than just a free drink.
I'm paying you the going rate.
Are you offering me a job? Nope.
Oh.
Unless I mean would you consider it? - Someone's feeling better.
- Go on, go on.
Off you go.
You know what, though? Working side by side in the field with my dad and bagging it It's what I always wanted.
Oh, me too.
I just wish you were here all the time.
Have you got everything? Yep.
OK.
Let's go.
Excellent work, Caroline.
Just pulling the muscles together now to pad the bone.
Good God.
Is that a smile? It was for the cheetah.
I never said you were a bad vet.
Pass me the clamp, please.
Your husband is a good man, Caroline.
More experienced than me in certain areas.
You mean, anything to do with the great outdoors.
I'm sorry if I've been less than friendly.
No, you haven't been unfriendly, really.
More openly hostile, I'd say! I just can't bear to see Anders treated with such disdain.
Is it too much to ask that you show some respect for the role he's played on this reserve his entire life? I don't suppose you can stay.
Dad No, I know.
It's not fair to ask.
You've got a life in Capetown to think of.
And one long distance relationship in the family's enough, don't you think? Yeah, I think so.
No, forget I mentioned it.
Why don't you pop back to Mara? I'll close up here.
Then I'll bunk down for the night, keep an eye on the cheetah.
I'll fetch you some blankets.
Thanks.
Anders! I, I just came to see how it's going.
It's going very well, thanks to your wife.
She's also very clever at bigging up her husband.
Oh.
Sorry about that.
She's right.
You were a better man than me when the firebreaking went bad.
I daresay you saved my life.
And I owe you an apology.
Accepted.
Tell you what.
I'm looking for someone whose expertise I can trust.
We'll need an official reserve manager.
Sooner rather than later.
Would you be up for that.
Well, I do know the job backwards.
Well, there we are, then.
Great.
I'll start with the quarantine pens.
Find a better site.
No.
Nothing could be better than the site we found.
Nuke the termites, get rid of the car wreck, we'll be ready to go.
Right.
Absolutely.
You won't regret this, Ed.
Anders won't let you down.
Hey! I must've nodded off.
I was sorting some things in the house, thought I'd check up on you.
How's the arm? Oh I'll live.
How's he? Still a bit groggy.
He was stable through the night.
He's looking good.
That's more than I can say about you.
Yeah, no doubt.
Come on.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Sounds like Ed threw you in at the deep end.
You did well.
Oh, no.
I only did what anyone else would do to help.
Nonsense.
You stepped up to the mark and conquered your fears.
She was a star.
Get off! Oh, shoo, shoo! Go away! Go on! I should never have let you encourage him.
And after breakfast, we're out of here too.
Actually I need to tell you something about moving back to Leopard's Den.
Greetings.
I've come to take my new barmaid to her new flat.
Um yeah.
I hadn't actually told them yet.
Sorry.
Look.
I'm not even packed yet.
I'll make my own way to the bar.
Yeah.
Of course.
Um Sorry.
See you guys later.
Fatani's offered me a job.
With accommodation thrown in.
I'll go and see what the noise is.
Liv, we haven't even talked about this.
There's nothing to talk about.
I need to stand on my own two feet.
Yeah.
But don't you think Dad, I've been there.
So have you.
Outnumbered again.
New quarantine pens have arrived.
Already? Oh, fantastic! OK, Mr Reserve Manager, sir.
Are you happy to handle this on your own? It's what you pay me for.
Excuse me.
I'll just be a sec.
Dup? What am I supposed to do now? Well we'll just have to change the site.
I'll tell Ed I've overruled him.
It's not gonna go down well.
Well, there's no alternative.
No, look.
There is.
You just leave it to me.
Dup, he's just started to give you a break.
Look.
I can afford to fall out with him.
You can't.
There's too much at stake.
This is all my fault.
But we mustn't let our little secret my mistake spoil our future.
Let me see what I can do to fix it.
I'll take the blame.
Follow me! Hey, man.
Sure you don't wanna slow down after last night's heroics? What does this look like? Hard work? It is from my side of the bar.
Is something wrong, Fatani? No.
Of course not.
Ready for my shift, as soon as I've moved in.
Hey.
I've left clean sheets and towels on the bed.
Thanks.
What's this? Didn't Fatani say? I've offered Liv a job.
And a place to live.
Yep.
From now on, it's the two of us against the world.
Didn't know there was a war! So, are you gonna help me unpack? Hang on in there, now, won't you? Just hang on in there.
So.
How's he doing? Hi.
Doing splendidly.
Though I think he might be left with a bit of a limp.
Don't worry.
We won't ask you to look after him.
It'll be good to have another cheetah here.
You'd never know now poorly he was.
Let's hope he can find another pack.
I'm just taking some refreshments up to Anders.
Won't be long.
I'll come with you.
Do you wanna join us? Try and stop me! Where the hell is he? Anders.
Come in.
Anders! Where are you? I'm at the site.
By the Y junction.
Who the hell said to move the site? I didn't realise it was set in stone.
You were there yesterday.
You know what Danny and I decided.
Yeah? What happened, Dup? The termites didn't wanna play.
So you single handedly changed the entire plan.
I'm sure it was for the best.
This place is much better than the other one.
Trust me.
Either way, it looks like it's too late to start again, so You had no right to do that without consulting us.
Hang on.
What do you mean, no right? I thought he was Reserve Manager.
He can't even obey simple orders.
Orders? He's not in the army.
You're not his sergeant major.
Danny.
You can't let him do this.
I'll take over.
See nothing else is changed.
Aren't you gonna say anything? I'm sorry.
I'm with Ed.
Well, you're the bosses.
Go ahead, then! Build your bloody quarantine pens! We resign! Oh, for goodness sake, Caroline! And if you think we're gonna live at Leopard's Den with you, think again! I couldn't stomach it! Caroline, let's just talk about this.
No.
You were right, yesterday.
We should start again somewhere else.
Because this simply isn't worth it.
That's not what I meant.
Get our cases.
We'll go back to Clearwater.
What, that dump? Yes! I'd rather live in a dump than spend one more second in that traitor's company! Please.
Caroline! This was not supposed to happen.
I know.
What am I supposed to do? Anders? Are you coming or not? Yes.
Caroline, don't go.
Come back in and we'll sit down and figure it out.
We have to go.
Ask Danny why.
I didn't come all this way to watch you and Dup drive off into the sunset.
I'm sorry, Rosie.
But there's really nothing I can do.
So you're just gonna leave? What about my dad? What about him? He made his bed, he can damn well lie in it! He's got you now.
That's all he needs.
Now more than ever.
Dup? Yeah? Do you think Caroline'll change her mind? Impossible.
She's a woman.
I'm sorry I didn't stick up for you back there.
Don't be.
I told you not to.
If only we'd told everyone all about Peters.
This was always gonna be a problem.
Look.
It's fine.
We had a problem, we fixed it.
Did we? At what cost? I made up the bed and aired the rooms.
We'll be just fine here.
I tried, Anders.
I really tried.
But Danny didn't say a single word in your defence.
I can't have you treated like that.
Leopard's Den or nor Leopard's Den.
I just wanted you to be happy.
I know.
But I can't be happy if you're not.
And to hell with the brave face.
You're miserable.
I can see it in your eyes.
You're a good woman, Caroline.
You're a good man.
So long as we have each other, we don't need anyone else.
Do we? He can still feel his leg, even though it's gone.
I think I know how he feels! Caroline will cool down, Dad.
Sure? I've never seen her so angry.
Hey.
It's not your fault.
I wish I could believe you.
I just can't stand the way that everything's turned out.
I mean, this was supposed to be a new start, but Liv's gone, Caroline's up in arms.
And my wife is thousands of miles away.
Look, Dad.
I've decided.
I will stay for a while.
Really? You're kidding.
Well what about your studies? What about Max? Oh, it'll be fine.
I need to do some fieldwork.
Where better than here, where I'm needed? Yeah.
But you could do fieldwork anywhere, without having a family nightmare on your plate.
'Ey.
I get to be at home, work alongside my old man.
And earn credits for my course while doing it.
What could be better? So, what do you say? Team Trevanion? Yeah.
Team Trevanion.
Not you again! Now, listen here.
I'm trying to read.
Get off! Look.
If you tell anyone about this I'm going to put you in a stew, OK? Are you OK? You look like you've seen a ghost.
It's Peters.
I saw him! You did not see Peters.
This is what you've done to him, you people! He's finally flipped.
Don't let him get to you! I'm not scared of you! Things I've seen, things I've done today Now get out of my house! What's wrong with you? You're frightening me.
