Wild at Heart (2006) s07e08 Episode Script

You still at it? I'm a vet, not a squaddie.
Hate to be a pedant, you're not a vet until you qualify.
Missed a bit.
It's a funding review, not a court-martial.
JLW want to see where their money is gone.
Get to it.
Oh, sorry! I'll check on the lioness.
- If you just move that - Danny! They're interested in our work not our feng shui.
I just want everything to be perfect.
Caroline, I left my dirty pants in the kitchen, OK? You left your di.
Dup, have you forgotten that JLW are coming? The review? What review? Stop winding him up! But it's so easy.
Oh, forgive me for caring! You don't think we'll have any problems, do you? What's this? Oh, there's one over there, too.
Huh? Oh, what happened to them? It's hard to say.
You'd better get them in and do a postmortem.
Me?! - I've gotta go to this review.
I'm the figurehead.
- I'm not a vet, remember?! Yeah, well try not to get blood on the walls.
There's a good girl.
OK.
OK.
The house is clean and tidy.
As clean and tidy as it's ever going to get.
- We've scrubbed the clinic - Cut the lawn with nail scissors! Have you checked on the elephant? What elephant? What do you mean? Anders, stop it! All right.
I will track the elephant as previously instructed.
And you'd better keep Cassidy in your bedroom.
What for? Because a three-legged cheetah doesn't really portray the right image.
If you don't drag a comb through your hair, you can go in there with it.
All set? Yeah, spotless.
Right, well, er - I'd better get going and you should - I know, I know - Ed the sergeant major or old Danny Hubbard - I can't think which is worse! Do we have enough? Yeah.
I think you're missing something.
Not here.
There's no-one around! Yeah, but there will be very soon.
Look, this is crazy.
We've been seeing each other for weeks.
When you gonna tell Danny about us? He's got a lot on.
I'm waiting for the right time.
Right.
When the world's overtaken Today.
Once the review's over.
I promise.
I don't want you to do anything, OK? I said it's fine! I'll deal with it when I'm back.
It's none of your business.
If I w Er Send it to me, OK? Everything all right? Yeah, fine er It's some equipment that's gonna be delivered late.
That's all? Yep, that's all.
What a pain.
Here we go.
Madeline, good to see you again.
Likewise.
Our pleasure at last.
No lions lurking in the house this time, I hope! Oh! They found alternative accommodation.
Can I interest anyone in a drink? That's very kind.
I believe we talked about some kind of tour into the bush.
Yes No, we can get on that straight away.
Mr Du Plessis is already out there keeping track of an animal we'd love to show you.
Now this is one of our real stars.
We rescued her a few weeks ago from a zoo in Mozambique.
Ed's being modest.
He found her.
He made all the arrangements, sadly, when she got here she was really ill.
The zoo didn't realise she was pregnant.
Ed nursed her back to health, when we thought it was impossible.
She did all the hard work.
Remarkable.
Can I get closer? I wouldn't.
Ed seems to be the only one that can get away with it.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
Just removing the liver.
We carry out postmortems in the clinic on a regular basis.
These wildebeest calves were found this morning, stillborn, sadly.
They were just coming into birthing season.
It happens sometimes.
We still need to check and find out why.
Now Rosie is going to slice deep into the intestines just to take a cross-section You probably get the idea.
Erm Shall we take a breather? Sounds good.
Yes.
Are you OK to carry on without us? Rosie?! Yeah? Are you OK to carry on? Oh, yeah, sure.
No problem.
We'll collect all the samples and then send them to the lab and, hopefully, discover what's causing this.
You probably know we're cutting back on charitable spending.
In times of recession, it's the first thing to go.
Yes, yes, we understand.
But this project is one of our top priorities.
We want to keep the budget intact.
In fact, we think it's high time we made our association with Leopard's Den a little more public.
More public.
How do you mean? We'd like to come back in a couple of days and present next quarter's cheque announce our partnership to the world.
That's fantastic! Well, that's great news.
We'll leave you to it.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
And relax That was a lot of worry about nothing.
Our funding is secure.
In fact, they wanna do a PR thing with the next cheque.
Rosie.
Er Yeah, good.
That's good.
What have you done here? What? You've sectioned it through the middle.
You can't tell if it was a ventral or atrial septal defect.
Oh, well, I started Whoa, Rosie! Sorry! Careful.
Don't breathe it in! Don't worry.
I'll wash it down.
So you'll have to start again with the other cub.
Well, then, why don't you do it?! Rosie Rosie! I'll have to go and talk to her.
It's OK, I'll go.
No, no, no.
It's my mess.
I'll sort it out.
You all right? Know what's wrong with Rosie? Charming! What? I'm sorry if I upset you? It really wasn't my intention.
I know.
I'm just a bit sensitive right now, that's all.
Do tell me to mind my own business, but is there something wrong? I got a call this morning.
Failed my module in Veterinary Pathology.
After retaking, if I don't pass this time, I don't qualify.
I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was.
Hello.
Anyone there? When I was at college, pathology was my best subject.
Rub it in, why don't you? Oh well, I'd best front up and tell Dad.
Won't he be disappointed? He's my dad.
He's used to that by now.
Come on, Rosie, you never struck me as a loser.
How about you don't tell him? What? I can tutor you.
You'll pass the course with flying colours.
Because I really am very good.
Danny need never know.
You'd do that? Yeah.
You are every bit as good as you think you are.
You just need a bit of reminding.
Thank you, Ed.
Ed, there's someone There's someone to see you.
Who is it? She didn't say.
Everything all right? Why wouldn't it be? Fiona? Hi, Ed.
Oh Sorry.
This is Rosie Trevanion.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Fiona.
How do you know each other? I'm his wife.
You haven't told them about me? This is Fiona Lynch.
I once had the enormous misfortune to be married to her.
Happy? Ed! Please.
His wife?! I didn't come all this way to sit here in silence, Ed.
Then why have you come? Paul and I broke up.
Devastated to hear it Don't be cruel, it doesn't suit you.
Cruel? You dare sit there and talk to me about cruelty? I didn't come here to open up old wounds.
How kind! Or to hurt you any more.
Why did you come here, Fiona? Because I missed you.
Because I wanted to see you.
There's something else.
It's true.
You can believe it or not but it's true.
Well, now you have seen me.
You can go.
Ed Lynch married.
Are you sure? That's what the man said.
She's very attractive.
I know! How did they end up together? How come he didn't tell anyone he was married? Ed comes over uptight and cold but there's a lot more to him than that.
I still think he should have said something.
These things can be difficult.
Sometimes you wanna tell people but it's never the right time Maybe we should all get on.
He's coming.
Erm Fiona and I, we separated about five years ago.
We never finalised the divorce.
We separated because she ran off with one of my wealthier clients.
All very classy! Sorry to hear that, Ed.
She'll be here for a few days to get over the journey and then she'll be going home.
Any questions? Good.
Now, if you'll excuse me I have a postmortem to be doing.
I'll talk to him.
Unbelievable.
Ed Lynch married! You did say you'd tutor me.
No time like the present.
I don't need any misplaced sympathy.
I'm not offering any.
Fine.
Join me.
I know how difficult marriage can be.
My husband and I are getting divorced.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Is this to do with the exams? Probably, yeah.
Definitely.
You don't feel like studying when your marriage is falling apart.
Have you told your father? Not yet.
I'm just waiting for the right moment.
I don't want him to think less of me, you know? Rosie.
It'll be OK? Sorry.
I just wanted to know where I'd be staying.
I've no idea.
Ask Caroline.
It's just so bloody odd.
Obviously he didn't wanna talk about it.
I thought he'd trust us by now.
Me too.
Married.
I mean, it's something you mention, isn't it? It doesn't exactly slip your mind 'Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention I'm married.
' It's weird.
Damn it.
What is it? Her breathing's shallow, the way she's standing.
I think she's in labour prematurely.
Something we can do? Yeah, just leave her in peace.
If it's quiet and dark she'll be less stressed.
I'll get some shade to her.
It's rather dusty, I'm afraid, but we've been busy with a rather important review.
Right.
It's lovely.
Thank you.
OK.
You must think I'm mad, turning up out of the blue like this.
No.
It's really none of my business.
I just wanted Ed to know that finally I understood some of the pain I caused him.
Not that it was all one sided.
He worked a lot and Forgive me, Fiona, but Ed is our business partner and I would like to think our friend.
I'm just not comfortable talking about him behind his back.
Well, it doesn't matter now.
How arrogant of me to think he'd be nursing a broken heart.
Why shouldn't he have moved on? How do you mean? With the young vet.
Rosie? What do you mean 'Rosie'? She and Ed are together, right? Rosie?! Oh no.
No.
No, of course not.
Why on earth would you say that? Because I walked in on them at the clinic and clearly they were together.
That's why he won't talk to me.
Well, I've no idea what you think you saw, but I rather think you're mistaken.
I saw what I saw, Caroline.
The best way of handling the lower section is with a transverse cut.
Right here.
See? Hm-hm Just like that.
Sorry, the lioness is in labour.
Do you know where the shade cloth is? It's under there.
Everything OK? Yeah.
Sure.
Anders, can I have a word? What? Over here.
What is it? Fiona thinks that Rosie and Ed are IN a relationship.
Wait, wait, wait What? How? Why? Because she saw them together.
But Rosie's half his age AND she's married! I know.
I know.
Maybe this Fiona is trying to cause trouble.
Well, that's what I thought, too.
But Rosie was arguing with Max on the phone this morning.
Yeah.
I overheard them.
Well, married people do that.
Yes, I know but she and Ed have been spending an awful lot of time together recently.
Now you mention it, they're cosy down there and I saw Ed in Rosie's room this morning.
What?! You're only just mentioning this now? I didn't think anything of it.
I No.
No.
This is not look, he's old enough to be her father.
And if he is, well you know I'll knock that slimy, grinning toad's head off! Let's call that Plan B, shall we? We'll find out if it's true before we do anything.
Speak to Rosie.
Huh, no, you're right.
Good idea.
Yea What, me?! Yes.
Why me? Because I can't accuse her of having an affair with Ed.
It's just not on.
It's OK for me to accuse her?! That's not fair.
Anders, life isn't fair.
Get used to it.
OK? Hi.
Came to offer my help but it looks like you're all done.
We've got the tissues for the his topathology and the frozen samples for the toxicology.
Good.
I thought I might head out and check on the elephant.
Sounds good.
Can I come? That's nice.
I should see to our lioness.
Yeah, I'll come with you.
Yes.
Have you added stalking to your list of undesirable qualities? Hey.
Hi.
Now.
You all right? Ah just The thing is about you and Ed, I mean We know You know? About what you're doing.
Did he tell you? So it's true?! Just keep it quiet, please.
I'd rather Dad didn't find out.
Thank you.
Did she just I gotta go and talk to Trevanion.
We're close to it.
It's safer to stay in the car.
I didn't come here to sit in a car.
No, you came for a shoulder to cry on about your oh-so-sad breakup.
I came here to talk to try and put the past behind us.
Talk all you want.
I can't promise I'll listen.
How is she? Oh, no She lost 'em both? They must have been premature.
They don't look that small.
Well, maybe a genetic defect.
It's nature's way.
Something we could have done? I don't think so.
Something on your mind? Well, I I was just wondering You know, theoretically If Rosie were with an older man Sorry? No, no.
I'm not saying she is or isn't.
Just theoretically, if she were with an older man.
Maybe one who you work with Dup, what are you saying? Rosie and Ed.
They er Well, you know girlfriend and man-friend.
Rosie? And Ed?! You been at your hooch again? No, it's true.
Fiona saw them together.
But Ed's nearly twice her age.
It doesn't make sense.
And Rosie's a married woman.
She wouldn't.
When last did you hear her talk about Max? Are you so sure it isn't possible? Well, ah I dunno! Well He did have a go at her this morning at the PM.
And then insisted on speaking to her afterwards.
Rosie and Ed! No.
No, I don't believe it.
No.
No way.
Say that a hundred more times.
It still won't make it true.
What? You in Africa.
It's funny.
I live to amuse you! I mean, you are as English as cricket and bunged-up motorways.
You look odd out here.
There she is.
Does she have a name? Rosie, maybe? Sorry? You care about her a lot.
I thought she might have a name.
Breathing quite fast.
I think she's agitated, don't you? I have no idea what an elephant looks like when agitated.
She's pregnant.
Signs of distress aren't good.
She's got an injury to her leg, probably what's bothering her.
I think I should take her in, to be on the safe side.
I remember you calling it a weakness in a vet to get personally involved with the animals.
I remember you saying, 'Til death us do part.
' Come on.
What you doing? Walk her back to the vehicle.
Every so often, we throw some of these out the back and she'll follow us all the way.
Oh, just listen to that.
Ah? Listen to that.
Danny, Fatani and I are a couple.
Hey! Danny, so Fatani's my boyfriend.
It's no big deal.
Oh, come on, Liv.
Do it.
The question is: how long? I mean, is this a recent thing or has this been going on right under our noses all the time? That's enough, Dup! I really don't wanna talk about this any more.
Have you heard this absurd rumour about Rosie and Ed? I don't think it's a rumour.
And it's not that crazy.
Stranger things have happened.
Unbelievable.
He's way too old for her.
What am I supposed to think about that? Erm Maybe be happy for them? Finding each other, say yes to love? 'Say yes to love'? What's got into you? Hi, Danny.
I thought I'd get her penned up for observation.
And it only took the entire afternoon.
Hours listening to your jabbering.
What a pleasure it was! Ed, could I have a word? Yeah.
I'd like to ask you something and I'd like you to be honest with me.
Of course.
You and Rosie, are you keeping something from me? Ah, that.
What?! You mean it's true? Yes.
I'm rather afraid it is.
It's true?! I wouldn't keep it secret forever! I should think not.
I didn't think it was such a big deal.
Really? My daughter, Ed.
What were you thinking?! What's going on? Well, you tell me.
He knows.
Oh, Dad, I was gonna tell you.
I just didn't want you to be disappointed in me.
You're a married woman.
And you're having an affair with the man I work with.
What?! Oh, that is preposterous! Rosie failed her pathology exam and needed help revising for the retake, that's all.
Is this true? I failed because I Me and Max are getting divorced.
Rosie.
I didn't want you to hear it like this, Dad.
- But how could you think that Ed and I were - Well Du Plessis told me! Caroline told me! Fiona told me.
I should have known.
I was struggling to understand why a brilliant man like you would wanna stay here.
Oh Made sense at the time.
You I'd expect this from.
I can't understand why YOU believed it! Frankly, I'm offended! Well, it was YOU that was keeping secrets from me about my daughter.
She's talented.
I could have tutored her without you knowing! You don't make those decisions.
Yeah, you're right.
From now on, I'll stay out of your life.
And you lot can, frankly, stay out of mine! Morning.
Morning.
You were wonderful last night.
That's not funny! - What are you doing? - Taking blood from the roiikats.
I couldn't sleep last night.
No, me, too.
Losing the wildebeest calves, and then the lion cubs in such quick succession, it's odd.
Could be a virus.
That's what I was thinking.
As well as a blood test, you'd better do a postmortem on the cubs.
Pathology is all about being thorough.
Will do.
Oh, and Ed, I am sorry for getting you in trouble.
Oh, Rosie, I was getting myself into trouble before you were born.
You're up early again.
Doing a postmortem? Hmm.
Ed and I were laying awake in bed last night thinking It's gonna run and run.
You do know that.
What were you thinking? Well, first the wildebeest calves, then the lion cubs.
What if there's a connection? Better hope there isn't, otherwise we're in real trouble.
Listen, I am sorry.
You know, about - You were just being protective.
Yeah.
Daft really.
Don't know how I could ever have believed that you and him Oh, I don't know.
Maybe one day.
What do you mean, 'one day'? Dad, you are so easy to wind up! Listen, I don't wanna pressure you into talking about it, but you and Max We just want different things.
He couldn't cope with all the hours I was working, I got tired of him never putting in any work.
He's not a bad man, Dad.
He's just not the man for me.
You do realise you've just put blood all over my shirt.
Sorry about that.
He's an over-protective dad.
You said it yourself.
He was furious over Rosie.
He'll go crazy about us.
Are you a man or a mouse? Can I have five minutes to think about that? We're doing nothing wrong.
We can't keep it secret any longer.
It will make it worse.
Has he ever got violent? Like really violent? Has who ever got violent? You wanted to see me.
No! Yes! No.
Yeah.
After yesterday, I thought Well Fatani's got something to say to you, Danny.
Yes, er Yes.
I have.
Thing is, er Liv and I for some time now have in a manner of speaking I'm proud to say Fatani's my boyfriend.
I don't care what anyone says.
Oh, I don't believe it! Sorry if it's a shock.
Oh no Danny I'm sorry, man.
I know I'm a bit old and I'm not obvious son-in-law material.
But What's going on? Danny bet me 100 rand you wouldn't come clean for another two weeks.
You knew about us already?! Liv, even the less intelligent ostrich have figured it out.
But, we And I would never get violent unless anyone treated Liv badly.
That's never gonna happen, Danny.
I know that.
Congratulations.
Dup, erm I'm sorry.
I should have told you.
To show there's no hard feelings, I'll let you tear up my bar tab! Here.
Here.
That's it.
Morning.
Thought I'd find you here.
Come on.
You letting her go? She seems fine.
She's pregnant.
She'll be happier out in the bush.
I'm sorry, Ed.
For what? You and Rosie.
It was the only thing I could think of because I looked at this place and I just could not understand it.
You just don't fit in here.
People change.
Do you really believe that? I hope you do.
Say what you've come to say, Fiona.
I was the one who left Paul, not the other way round.
Please tell me more about the man you had an affair with.
I made a terrible mistake.
So that's what you've come to say? I know you're a very proud man.
And I know I've hurt you.
But if there is any chance, any chance at all that we might try again Left me without so much as a backward glance.
I know how it must have felt.
To answer your question, Fiona no.
There's no chance at all for us.
You need to go.
I understand.
Good.
Ed, wait a second.
Hi.
Fiona, has something she'd like to say.
'I'm leaving'? Rosie What I said yesterday I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
To make it up to you, she'd like to offer her help.
Help? Fiona's a research pharmacologist.
She says that with her assisting, we could run the tests a lot quicker.
We're fine, thanks.
How much quicker? At a guess, five hours at least.
If there is a link, we could save a lot of animals with the time that would buy us.
And before anyone asks, this is a freebie, a thank you for the accommodation.
Well, I Sounds perfect.
Thank you.
We should go out on our rounds.
See you later.
Right, what shall we do first? You know, I don't care if you like me or not, but or the record, I'm very good at my job.
Let's get started, then.
- Listen, about yesterday - Damn Breathing's laboured.
Internal haemorrhage? Could be.
So what's your thinking? Excuse me? Whatever this is it's affected a wildebeest and a lioness.
Carnivore and herbivore.
If there's a link it has to be a broad spectrum pathogen.
Or it's hosted by the wildebeest and the lioness ate a carcass in the wild? OK.
Across species vertical transmission.
Could be.
Ah What? That's the wildebeest.
Let me have a look at the lion cub.
This test binds to the antigen etriol E3.
And the red colour? That's the re-agent binding.
Which means positive.
Which means Raised levels of oestrogen.
As in off the chart.
No In both animals.
Pulse is going through the floor.
We need to intubate her.
I'll place an intravenous line.
She needs oxygen first.
I wrote a challenging paper on trauma care in large felines Don't you think we should spend less time talking theory and more time fixing the large feline? Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
We need to find something these animals have in common.
Something that would cross species and raise oestrogen levels.
The roiikats are fine but they've only just arrived, so maybe the problem's historical.
Do you have up to date records? Yeah, of course.
Every animal we've treated since the clinic opened.
Maybe we can find any underlying similarities between the wildebeest and lion populations and see what might be causing it.
We? Don't worry.
I'll help you with this then I'll be out of your hair.
Where is this bleed coming from? Can't find it.
There's too much blood.
There must have been gradual placental abruption but the walls are intact.
There.
I've got it.
Just get the clamp on.
Got it.
That'll stop the bleeding.
Let's close it up.
She needs to be monitored for a while.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Listen, erm What I was trying to say before Erm You know, I didn't mean We both said some stupid things yesterday.
Fiona's got this way of pushing my buttons.
The people that we love always do.
Oh, not you and her.
You know, I mean, I don't I wouldn't presume Let's get her back to the hospital, shall we? Is she stable? For now.
How are you two doing? Fiona found raised oestrogen levels in both the calves and cubs.
We went through the records and found several drugs that all populations of wildebeest and lions received.
We're working through all the samples.
We've arranged them into control groups and each sample represents the effects of one drug on oestrogen levels.
Very meticulous.
Sounds like you, Fiona.
No.
This was both of us all the way.
Wait Ah, this one.
Which drug caused that? That was a worming drug.
Hytoxifan.
So this is the culprit.
It's impossible to say for certain right now.
But yeah.
It's our most likely source.
What is it, Dad? The manufacturing company.
It's JLW.
The people who fund you? They provide drugs for free as part of the finance package.
Has the elephant had this? Yes, she has.
I'll go and get Dup to help us find her.
She looked fine.
You had no reason to keep her in.
Why you're doing that, I'll talk to JLW.
What good will that do? If it is their drug causing this, they might be able to help us.
We could work out how to counter the effect.
If they make the drug.
No-one knows it better than them.
I'll make the call.
Call? We'll wait weeks if you call.
Yeah, Danny's right.
If you want an answer, we need to go and sit there until someone talks to us, which is what I am planning to do.
Well, we appreciate the offer but one of us should go.
It's my field.
I know how to talk to these people.
I don't doubt that, but they might not talk to you because you don't work here.
Someone should go with you.
I'll go.
Danny and Dup can track the elephant far quicker than I can.
I'm probably more at ease in the corporate world.
Right then, let's go.
You will find her.
I promise.
Fiona, I have to ask.
You don't care about this project, so why are you doing this? Why are you helping? Because it obviously matters to you.
And you matter to me.
No.
Too much has happened.
I meant what I said.
Ah She's been through here.
Quite recently.
Ed's really concerned about this elephant.
When we first met him, I never thought he'd care about an individual animal.
There's a lot more to our Ed than meets the eye.
Yeah? Ah, Danny, there she is.
Ah, good work.
Oh no She's lost her calf.
Poor girl.
My heart breaks.
Good morning.
Ed Lynch, Endangered Species project.
This is my colleague Fiona.
We're hoping to talk to someone from your laboratory as soon as possible, please.
Edward Lynch, Endangered Species project.
And Fiona his 'colleague'.
Fiona.
Surname? Well Lynch.
Her name is Lynch.
How's she doing? Resps have improved but she's not out of the woods.
How many other animals is this drug going to affect? It's hard to say.
If it is the drug doing this, then it probably only causes a reaction in certain circumstances.
There could be a lot more cases or none.
And the elephant? Could be fine or could be in a lot of trouble like this girl.
And you? How are you doing? I'm fine.
Good.
I'm here if you need me.
Thank you.
This has happened to two animals? That we know of.
Huh? You know, I don't recall Hytoxifan having any contraindications for pregnant animals.
That doesn't mean there aren't any.
There could be a background reaction.
Your drug is the common factor.
These things are sad but unavoidable as I'm sure you both know.
How is it I can help you? We want the chemical breakdown of Hytoxifan and the trial reports, beta stage included.
We'd also like the use of a lab and as many staff as you can spare.
Perhaps a free car thrown in? If you can't spare the staff, we'll do it ourselves.
I can't hand out the composition on my drugs.
Information is proprietary.
As are the beta trials.
We need that information.
I'm sorry.
You haven't provided scientific evidence that Hytoxifan is to blame.
Why hasn't it been approved in America? The FDA has very different guidelines.
Or they've found it causes raised oestrogen levels, a fact that you've conveniently kept quiet.
That's a very serious accusation.
Now, look, I can see you're both very upset about your animals Don't patronise us.
I've worked in laboratories all my life.
Then you know there's no more I can do to help you.
You knew, didn't you? Fiona You knew Hytoxifan was dangerous and you released it anyway.
I've nothing more to say.
Did you really think people wouldn't notice?! If you'll excuse me.
Security will see you out.
Yeah, OK! All right, I'm going.
So much for keeping calm! Yeah, you know me.
Yes, I do.
You'll be pleased to know the lioness is back on her feet.
That's good.
What happened at JLW? They knew.
What do you mean? They knew Hytoxifan had side effects.
That's why they blanked us and refused to help.
But that's I can't believe they You mean they've been selling a drug that affects pregnant animals? Did Danny and Anders find the elephant? Yeah, they did.
I'm sorry, Ed.
The calf didn't make it.
Do Danny and Anders know about JLW? No.
They're out with the elephant.
Get them on the radio.
Tell them about JLW.
Dad Where are you going? None of your business.
This place is doomed.
What's one animal, more or less? I don't understand.
Danny and I now can't do business with JLW.
It was the only reason I'm here.
Without their funding, this is just another scruffy game park struggling to make ends meet.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? Because you like it here.
Even though I look ridiculous? I didn't say that.
I just don't care what you say or think just get out of my life! That was a bit harsh, Ed.
JLW are bloody crooks.
How could they do this? The big question is, what's Ed gonna do now? Ed? He's gonna pack his things and go somewhere else.
He might not.
He's not family.
There's nothing to keep him here now.
Take it easy.
I need to check on her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa She could develop an infection.
We're gonna have to get some antibiotics into her.
Ed, it's Danny, come in.
Ed, can you hear me? It's Danny! - Ed, are you receiving me? - Ed Lynch.
It's Danny.
What is it? We're having real trouble with your elephant.
She needs antibiotics.
Then give them to her.
She won't let us anywhere near her.
It's got to be you.
Just stop bloody talking and get over here! About bloody time.
Hi.
I've got the antibiotics and this.
Just be careful, Ed.
She's very distressed.
Yeah.
Nice work, Ed.
That's good.
That's good.
Just checking you have everything you need.
You needn't worry.
I'll be gone in the morning.
Have you wondered to yourself what I'm doing with Anders.
No.
Liar.
We're another odd couple.
When we first got together, everyone thought we had a snowflake's chance in hell of staying together.
Why are you telling me this? I even, to my immense shame, thought so too.
But Anders didn't believe it.
He overcame every obstacle and in the end I thank my lucky stars he had that sort of courage.
You'll find him out in the bush, keeping an eye on the elephant.
So, are we all agreed? We're back to square one.
Where will you go? Me? Back to England? The thing is, Danny Ah, you don't have to explain to me.
Funding's gone.
I know you've got no reason to stay here.
Well, that's not completely true.
You see, what we've started here is worth more than just money.
I think we should carry on.
You do? You can't get rid of me that easily.
Well, it'll be a struggle.
There'll be no safety net.
Well, I think the three of us, somehow will muddle through.
Just one thing though Tell us you haven't got any more wives hidden anywhere.
Dup! No, it's a fair question.
I wasn't gonna tell you, but there is just one more.
What?! Salt Lake City.
She's a Mormon.
Not sure it counts.
You ARE kidding aren't Very funny! What's this? This a private party or can anyone join in? It's a private party.
- I've got beer.
Come on, Ed, I'll be gone tomorrow.
- She's got beer! Here's to never a dull moment.
I've got a better toast.
Danny, Anders to the future.
The future, whatever it may bring.
I got into this for endangered species, not pampered ponies.
I'll do the talking.
I know how they think.
Anders Du Plessis.
Our driver.
I don't know who the bloody hell he thinks he is.
He's playing a part.
These are all symptoms of AHS.
African Horse Sickness? There's no cure for it.
If this is down to you, I will make it my business to have you shut down.
We need to go into quarantine.
Alice will be here soon.
She'll help sort things out.
She wants to stay.
She wants us to live in England.
I just can't imagine not being here.
