Wild at Heart (2006) s07e09 Episode Script

1 I'm Fiona.
So, how do you know each other? I'm his wife.
Why did you come here, Fiona? Because I missed you.
She'll be here for a few days and then she'll be going home.
Losing the wildebeest calves, and then the lion cubs in such quick succession, it's odd.
Hytoxifan.
This is the culprit.
What is it, Dad? It's JLW.
The people who fund you? You knew Hytoxifan was dangerous and you released it anyway.
The funding's gone, I know you've got no reason to stay here.
I think the three of us, somehow, will muddle through.
Well, get a move on, we'll be late.
Oh, sorry I'll be right with you.
Has something died in here? You've got paint on your face.
We're fighting for our lives here, Danny.
You'd better leave the talking to me.
Well, if you're sure.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I think he's pretty old, but maybe he's got a few years left in him.
He is talking about the zebra? Less of your cheek.
This pen is way too small for him, hence the sore on his shoulder.
I couldn't afford a bigger one.
Money, money.
Why is it always about the bleddy money? Are you a rich man, Mr Lynch? Not at this moment in time, but that's my point.
Well, we need to discuss why you missed your last mortgage payments.
Cash flow.
It's purely cash flow.
We're a small business, not everyone pays us on time.
So you're owed money? Well that's promising.
So it's more than cash flow? We also lost a large chunk of our funding recently.
It wasn't our fault, it was just an impossible situation.
Er, the pharmaceutical What are you doing about it? I'm sorry? Have you sourced any other backers? Well it's not going to happen overnight.
We're just asking for some more time.
Every business has a momentary dip.
Too many businesses are having dips at the moment, Mr Lynch.
How about we take him home and release him onto our land? Give him the life he deserves.
Do I get paid? You get the undying gratitude of a fine animal.
I don't know.
I need to put food on the table.
It's all I've got.
Rosie! Please.
I'm not an unreasonable man, gentlemen.
Good.
I didn't come into this business to shut hard-working men down.
Even better, so Let the man finish, Ed.
Sometimes, the brave decision for everyone concerned is to accept that the race has been run.
Oh, you've missed him, I'm afraid.
He's gone to the bank with Danny.
He seems to be avoiding me.
I'm sorry, Fiona.
Is it not going well? It's not going at all, I'm afraid.
Which is why I'm going back to England.
Really? There's only so many times a girl can humiliate herself.
I'm so sorry.
No, don't be, I brought it on myself.
You can't go around buying mangy zebras with your own money.
He's not mangy, he's a bit distressed, that's all.
And don't go telling Dad about the money.
How did it go? It was a disaster.
They won't give us any more time.
Vultures.
We need to find some income and fast.
Well, there's always selling Mara.
If Mara goes, then the Endangered Species Project goes with it.
Without Mara land, we simply can't function.
It also happens to be Ed's house, doesn't it? Move in here.
That's not going to happen.
What the hell is this? It's a zebra.
What's it doing here? It's got an infected shoulder.
Oh, great another mouth to feed! Ed, wait a sec.
What's wrong with him? His pride's been hurt.
Ooh! It's bad, Danny, isn't it? Well, it could be better, I can't pretend otherwise.
Hey, but Alice will be here soon and I know she'll help sort things out.
It won't come to selling Mara, will it? You will find the money? Why should you care? It's not as if you're going to be around.
Sorry? What is it, Fiona? Why are you still here? I just thought you would have a back-up plan, you always do.
The man you knew has long gone.
I don't believe that.
I believe you can turn this place around.
Well, thank you for your faith in me.
Things would be different if you were in charge.
Well, I'm not, it's a joint venture.
Then, you're right, you have changed, because the old you wouldn't stand for this.
He would grab this place by the throat and make sure it survived.
Slightly none of my business, I know, but how much money do you need? About 200,000 rand.
So how much is that, in English money? A bleddy lot.
Realistically, we need about £20,000.
Get changed, Danny, we've got an interview with a possible client.
You serious? How did you pull that off? I turned it down before we got into this state.
Didn't think it was us.
But it is now? It'll have to be.
Anyway, I called and they're still in the market for a vet.
This, I've got to see.
Bleddy smart, 'ey? It is rather splendid, isn't it? Leave the talking to me, I know how these people think.
Like you knew how bank managers think.
Just do what he says, Dup, this is important.
Mrs Ruiters, how do you do? Edward Lynch and Daniel Trevanion.
Hi.
Welcome.
Anders du Plessis.
Yes, our driver.
I believe you wanted to discuss a possible contract with us.
I was told you weren't interested.
Luckily for you, we find ourselves with a rare and unexpected gap in our premier client list.
I've also got a horse I'd like you to take a look at.
Excellent.
Carry on, Daniel.
Look at that.
I'll let Mrs Ruiters show me her splendid animals.
I saw on the way in, you have some lovely polo ponies.
You play? I've won a few trophies in my time.
I don't know who the bleddy hell he think he is.
He's just playing a part.
Well, a bit too comfortably, if you ask me.
I've got over 40 horses here.
Apart from the polo stock, I also breed racers and jumpers.
Really? Very impressive.
But can I find a reliable vet who I can work with? She must be bleddy loaded.
That's why we have to do a good job.
Danny! Danny, are you OK? I think he's broken something.
Is it that bad? The wound is quite deep.
He's in a lot of discomfort.
I'd welcome a second opinion.
Right.
OK.
Oh, yes, there's still a foreign body embedded in the wound.
We'll need further investigation.
Could be running a temperature.
If it's all right with you, Mrs Ruiters, I'd like to take him back to Leopard's Den, so we can monitor him overnight.
He's very precious to me.
He'll be in the best of hands.
Even if one might be broken.
All right, get your driver to take one of the horse boxes and hook it up to your Jeep.
Thank you, Driver.
Er, yes, boss.
Right, I'll clean the wounds, then we'll get him on antibiotics and fluids.
Don't be such a cry baby.
Thanks for your sympathy, Dup! I don't know what you've done but you should get them X-rayed.
I'll be fine, just strap them up for me, will you? Typical, just when we needed all hands to the pump.
So we're treating domestic animals are we, now? If we do things right, we will be.
It's not that I'm not grateful, Ed, but you know I got into this for endangered species, wildlife, not pampered ponies.
It's just a means to an end.
You want everything we've built here to survive, don't you? Ed is running away with himself.
He's just trying to help.
He treated me like a bleddy gopher.
Would you mind serving me please, Dup? Of course.
Sorry.
So what's the score with the bunny boiler? Who? Fiona.
That's not kind, Anders.
For what it's worth, I think she loves Ed very much indeed.
So she shouldn't have run off and left him.
Oh, says the man who's never made a mistake in his life.
You can't say she didn't try.
Yeah, well you need a flamethrower to melt that man's heart.
Danny, phone.
I'm just about to eat, could you tell them I'll call them back, Nomsa? It's Alice.
Thanks.
Thanks for the lift.
You're welcome.
If you'd like to come in, I can offer you some warm white wine and a packet of mints.
Oh, it's very tempting, but, no, thank you.
I've booked my flight home.
Oh? Didn't seem much point in staying.
No, I suppose not.
So when do you go? A couple of days.
Right.
So this is it Ed, I'm going.
I've made my decision.
Yeah, so you said.
Good night.
I know.
Alice, I know all that but you have to come back.
Rosie, we should go and check on the horse.
Already done it.
I need to speak to you.
Everything all right? So Fine.
How's our four-legged gold mine? I called Mrs Ruiters earlier, the horse is doing really well, so she's coming over.
You're letting her pick up the horse? Mm-hm.
We've got to think valet service.
We do the collecting and returning.
We've got to offer more to stay competitive.
I'll give the horse a manicure! Ed, are you there? Ed? Ed! It's a ruse to get me to come running.
Didn't sound like it to me.
You could find out what her problem is, couldn't you, Rosie? Me? Why me? Please.
Oh-oh.
Posh, horsey lady, six o'clock.
Let's hope she's brought her cheque book with her.
I'll do this.
I've established a certain rapport with her.
You can't even button your shirt properly.
Oh, stupid hand.
Don't worry, Danny, I'll lay some bush charm on her.
No, don't.
I doubt she drinks beer for breakfast.
Mrs Ruiters, lovely to see you again.
Danny's such a Leave it out, Dup.
Are you defending him? This isn't about your stupid pride.
It's about our survival.
OK, OK, keep your hair on.
Morning.
You treat zebras as well? That's more a sort of pet project really.
But the wonderful news is that your horse had an infection, but we've managed to clear it all up.
That is excellent news.
She looks more like her old self again.
With all those horses at your stables, you're going to need a full-time veterinary service at your disposal.
And you think you're the people to do that? I know we are.
Fiona, are you all right? Rosie, are you on your own? Where on earth did you get these? They were under my tent.
I'd have got here sooner if I'd have known.
I thought Ed would have come.
Yeah, he He's a bit tied up, so he sent me.
Right.
Anyway, let's get these two over to Leopard's Den.
Can you give me a hand? Yeah.
We did it, Danny.
Horse doctors to the elite.
Would you believe it? Danny? Yes.
Something good has happened, you are allowed to smile.
Well, we're not out of the woods yet.
Yeah, but it is progress.
What have you got there? Oh! Wow! Where did you find them? They were in my tent.
I rented them from a zoo and smuggled them here in my luggage, just so I could ensnare you! Where's the mother? Good question.
I thought we could get these settled and then go looking for her.
So it's just me talking to the bank manager, then.
You're going into town? I need to get some gifts to take home with me.
Can't someone else take you? Caroline? I would, but I'm rather busy right now.
Oh, don't worry, you'll be quite safe.
I'll sit on my hands.
Fine, but we're going to the bank first, though.
They can't have travelled far, so we should be able to work out where the mother might be.
Let's go and track her.
I'll get my stuff.
Oh, no, it's all right, Dup.
Rosie and I can handle it.
If I don't go tracking in the bush every few days, I get the shakes.
I think you'll find that's the beer.
While, of course, I understand your earlier reluctance, we now have a guaranteed future income.
Well that was quick.
My husband's a brilliant businessman.
Ex.
I beg your pardon? It's a contract with a stable.
And you have it in writing? Yes.
It's with the Ruiters Stables.
You've heard of Sienna Ruiters? Of course.
Well? It doesn't cover the mortgage shortfall.
Oh, I didn't say it did.
All I'm asking for is a month's grace on the mortgage.
Well Mrs Ruiters has promised to recommend us to her friends in the horse-racing community.
Oh.
We can turn this around.
Just give us a month.
Nah.
She didn't come this way.
Let's try east, past the waterhole.
Maybe she's been killed, that's why we can't find any tracks.
That's fighting talk, Trevanion! Right, carry on.
Lead the way.
Dad, are you all right? Fine.
Are you sure? Come on, we haven't got all day.
I hope Danny and the others appreciate what you've done.
Well, having a roof over their heads should do the trick.
You're back, aren't you? Ed Lynch is back.
I'm just doing my best.
No, I saw it, the old sparkle in your eyes.
You were enjoying yourself.
Yeah, just a bit.
We should celebrate.
Ah.
Can't believe you're scared to have a drink with your wife.
Ex-wife.
Do you know what? Forget it.
No, no, of course.
Yes, we should celebrate.
You're right.
You're right.
Yeah.
Sorry.
There's definitely leopard tracks up ahead.
Could be our girl.
What shall we do, Dad? I've always loved it round here.
Yeah, it it is beautiful.
Hey, hey.
Sshhh.
So is she.
She's got to be the mother.
Yeah, she looks hurt.
How do you want to do this? Oh, we'll set up the trap, put some bait in it.
If she's hungry enough, she'll take it.
Shame, look at her, man.
She's looking for her family.
There's no reason we can't combine our wildlife work with high-end domestic animals.
Will your friends agree, that's the question? I can be very persuasive.
I remember.
He is crazy about her.
Other way round.
No, look at him, I can read body language.
You need glasses, then.
Is it my scintillating conversation? You try sleeping in a tent with two hyper leopard cubs.
You never were one for the great outdoors.
Do you remember that time you took me to Scotland? You said the lack of buildings made you nervous.
You made me sleep in a tent, then, too.
Yeah, for about an hour.
Until you found a five-star hotel.
Look, Fiona, I don't want you going home exhausted.
You can stay at Mara.
There's plenty of spare rooms.
Oh, thanks, Ed.
Yes.
Nice work.
Wait till you see what we've got waiting for you.
Anders, don't suppose you could come to the guest tent, could you? No, don't suppose I can, no.
No, go on, Dup.
Rosie and I can handle it from here.
Well, I want to see her re-united with her cubs.
Don't worry, I'll go see what Ed wants.
No.
Dup can do it.
Please.
Come on, out with it.
Something's bothering you.
It's Alice.
What's the matter? Is everything all right with baby Robert? Oh, no, he's fine, she's fine.
But? But What? What is it? Tell me.
She wants to stay, she wants us to live in England.
What? You know, just to see how it goes.
Just for a year.
In England? But Alice loves Leopard's Den.
I know, but she almost lost her brother recently.
She's got Charlotte with her now and it's easier to bring up a baby in England than it is in the bush.
We're really struggling here, without funding.
Well, that horse contract will make a difference.
It's just a start.
What are you going to do? I don't know.
I keep trying to imagine life in England.
Oh, you'd hate it.
Yeah, but it's not just about me.
There must be something you can do.
There isn't.
Unless I can persuade Alice to change her mind.
Well, yeah, then, persuade her.
You have to.
I'll try.
Please don't say anything to the others yet.
The last thing they need right now.
So, since when am I the bleddy bell boy? This won't take long.
If I put my back out, What for? Loss of earnings? Only, I can't remember you actually ever making any money.
What I give, you can't put a price on.
Yeah.
So you and Fiona? Romance in the air? She is moving into the spare room.
She's nervous about sleeping in a tent.
Of course she is.
Come on, then.
Hey, come on.
Who's this? Who have we got in here for you to say hello to, 'ey? Come on.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Why is she reacting like that? Hey, that's not right.
She is the mother, isn't she? Well, must be.
They're that rare, the chances we've got another female black leopard, no.
Just just leave them alone, see if they settle.
When are you going to phone Alice? Tonight, you know, when she's put the kids to bed.
I just can't imagine not being here.
Then don't.
Cos that is not going to happen.
Hello.
Oh, I hope you don't mind.
It looked like Led Zeppelin had been staying in here.
Wow! Are you sure this is my room? Well, we can't have Alice coming back to a complete mess, can we? No.
No, we can't.
Anyway I'd better get on.
Thanks, Caroline.
It's not the Ritz, but at least there aren't any wild animals.
Apart from this one.
Hey! Shoo! Shoo! Ed, I've got something to say to you, and I want you to hear me out.
Yeah? I've got some money saved up.
It's not a lot, but it would buy you a few months' survival here.
You're offering me your money? Yeah.
You can't turn up, as if nothing's happened.
I know what's happened.
That's why I'm here.
I'm not pretending that lending you a few pounds fixes anything.
I can't allow you to give me any money.
I'm not, it's a loan.
Fiona Look, I know what you're thinking.
'She's so desperate to get back into my life, she'll try anything.
' The thought had occurred to me, yeah.
I like this place, too.
The potential is amazing.
Fiona, this is my life.
This is my new life.
It has nothing to do with you.
I won't be here.
But I'll know I've helped you.
Can't you at least give me that? Thank you for the offer, it's very generous, but the answer is no.
You idiot.
Get back in there and accept.
You were listening? Of course.
She's offering us a lifeline.
If I take the money, I'm as good as trapped.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Hey.
Morning.
Was that you I heard walking around, last night? Couldn't sleep.
What did Alice say? She says she needs to be in England, it's important to her.
Oh, God, Dad, I'm so sorry.
How is she? She's not too good.
She hasn't eaten, she's breathing quickly.
Keep a close eye on her for now.
Right, people, we've got options.
Fiona's got some money she's willing to part with and I am going to make sure she does.
What are you talking about? Danny, it's the stables, we need to get back there.
What's happened? Now! Her eyes are bloodshot and swollen.
There's discharge from the nose and mouth.
Which suggests circulatory impairment.
I don't understand.
He was fine yesterday.
These are all symptoms of AHS.
African Horse Sickness? As I'm sure you're aware, Mrs Ruiters, there's no cure for it.
I'm terribly sorry.
But where did he become infected? We're very careful here.
Well, we'll need to find that out.
There was a zebra in the pen next to my horse.
No, no the zebra's fine.
But they're carriers.
I assure you, we take every precaution.
All it takes is one bite from an infected midge.
Mrs Ruiters Did you lock my horse up at night? Well, no, there was no need.
There obviously was a need.
They could all die, couldn't they? We can have them all vaccinated.
Couldn't they? Yes, they could.
If this is down to you, I will make it my business to have you shut down.
Sshhh! With AHS you're looking at a 90% mortality rate among infected horses.
Oh, it's a bleddy nightmare.
You don't know the half of it, Dup.
What does that mean? And zebras can only carry the disease? Yes.
Rosie, why did you bring the zebra back here? I beg your pardon? Ed gave you a lifeline and you've already stuffed it up.
I thought you were going back to the UK? Ladies, ladies Anders is right.
This is a time for action, not recriminations.
Right, I'm sorry.
First thing we need is proof of the source of the infection.
I'll set up a makeshift lab, maybe at Mara.
Good idea.
Ed will be impressed.
Don't put yourself out.
Rosie.
Do you want to save this place, or don't you? Yes, of course I do.
If you can get me a blood sample from the zebra, I'll test it and have the results first thing.
Dup, we need to go into quarantine.
I've got the vaccine.
Good.
We may already be too late.
You know that, don't you? We have to try.
And she'll be on the phone to all her posh friends, bad-mouthing us.
It wasn't even our fault.
Let's hope not.
Well come on, Danny.
Head up.
Come on, Dup, we've got a zebra to find.
Hey, Ed, Fiona's going to set up a lab at Mara.
She's gonna run some tests.
She is? Marvellous woman.
Isn't she just? Well, I hope you told her to be quick about it.
The longer we're in quarantine, the longer we can't accept any work.
I'll go through the books, see if I can find anything to help.
OK, what are you up to? Me? Nothing.
Anders.
Fiona's got some money and she wants to help us out, but Ed is scared he's gonna sell his soul or something, so I'm just trying to give him a little nudge.
Now, it's his decision to take the money or not, Anders.
You just keep out of it.
Dup, zebra! Right.
This is going to be fun.
There's hundreds of them out there.
You forget one thing: I am the best tracker south of the Limpopo.
So is this where you released him? Don't worry he won't have gone far.
Trust me, Danny, I'll find him.
When have I ever let you down? How is she doing? Still not showing any interest in her cubs.
I'm worried about her.
Actually, I'm a little bit worried about you, Rosie.
Me? I'm fine.
What is it with you and Fiona? It's not like you to be down on someone.
I feel like she wants to get her feet under the table.
I'm just not sure about her.
There he is.
No, that's not him.
Nah.
That one? Nope.
We've got to get this blood sample.
See, that's the trouble with Ed.
He doesn't have your determination.
That's him? No.
Folds like Superman in a laundry.
But you, you carry on fighting, always.
That's got to be him.
Wrong again.
Then, what about him? The best tracker south of the Limpopo! Ahhhh.
Stripy beast, three o'clock.
That's him.
Hah.
Am I good or am I good? Hope you don't mind keeping an eye on them? They're desperate to get to their mother and it's distressing her.
Be my guest.
Will you be ready when Dup gets here with the blood sample? I didn't do all this for fun.
Look, I apologise if I overreacted earlier.
Sorry? About the zebra.
It was just so great to see Ed all fired up again, I was disappointed when it all went wrong.
The thing is, Fiona, we're a team here, it's not just all about Ed.
I know, but Ed is such a brilliant leader.
I'm not sure he flourishes when he has to share every decision.
There we are.
One zebra blood sample.
Oh, well done, Dup.
Piece of cake.
Any luck? I've been failing to find a pot of gold hidden in our accounts.
But you found Anders' whisky, I see.
Hmm, I had no idea they made Scotch in Swaziland.
It's good of Fiona to try and help.
Ah, you've been talking to Anders.
You too want me to sell my soul for a piece of her silver.
No, not at all.
I don't pretend to know everything that's happened between the two of you.
It wasn't pleasant.
I can see it's left you feeling very hurt and defensive.
Would you mind, it's my private life? She's about to go home, Ed, perhaps out of your life forever.
Do you really want to end things like this? I wouldn't, not if you're going to talk to her.
Caroline thought you might need a bit of company.
And you got the short straw? I can always come back another time.
No, now's fine.
What will happen to the cubs if their mother continues to reject them? We'll have to look after them here, I expect.
Another couple of orphaned mouths to feed.
Do you ever wonder what would have happened to us if we'd have had kids? Of course.
I always thought it would have made us complete.
It just wasn't to be.
One thing I do know.
If we'd have had kids we'd still be together.
What's happening here? She wasn't doing too well, so I sedated her.
The pulse is very weak.
Abdomen is distended.
And her temperature's very high.
There's a bite mark here.
It's healed over, but maybe she got in to a fight and sustained internal injuries.
That might explain why she rejected her cubs.
I'll have to open her up.
I think she needs exploratory surgery.
And how exactly are you going to do that? Good point.
I'll get Dup to find Ed.
Poor things.
They need their mother.
I'd have been a disastrous father.
That's not true.
Uptight.
Over-strict.
Unemotional.
Oh, come on.
There.
I'm so sorry.
For everything.
Ed! Ed! Where the bleddy hell are you? Ed! Right, let's put her on a drip.
Dup's taking his time.
Don't you worry, he's the best tracker south of the Limpopo.
Yes.
There you go.
How are you going to tell him that you're going? I have no idea.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
Besides, I'm not gonna leave this place while it's still in a mess.
We'll be fine, Dad.
You've got to be with Alice and the kids.
Yeah, but I won't leave you while you're in a hole.
We will cope.
There's me, Caroline and Dup.
And we've got Ed now.
Good to go.
I mean family's not the be-all-and-end-all, Fiona.
Spend some time with the Trevanions, I'd say.
Ed, you're needed.
The leopard needs surgery.
Are you serious? She won't make it through the night without an operation.
Well, can't Danny do it? With one hand? OK.
Right.
I'm on it.
You'd better put the kettle on for some coffee.
He's going to need about a gallon.
Come on, Ed, get up.
I feel a bit erm Ed, Ed.
Sorry, I-I'm just Danny? Danny, are you there? You're on your own with this one.
I can't do this, Dad.
The operation's too complex.
You have to.
We can't wait any longer.
You'll be great.
Just listen to everything that I tell you.
If you're anxious, or you're unsure about anything, you just stop and you ask me to repeat what I said.
Got it? Drunk, posh and stupid, that's no way to conduct yourself.
Oh? Says the poster boy for sobriety! But you were inspired, Caroline.
Get him in to Fiona's arms.
He'll definitely get the money.
That was absolutely not my intention.
Anders, you haven't got a romantic bone in your body.
That's good, you've made a midline incision.
Now have a good look around.
Is there any bruising, or perforation? Bruising, no perforation as far as I can tell.
Looks ischemic.
No bleeding.
That's a bonus.
All the same, maybe you should check.
Why? I trust you.
What next? Well, you need to re-set the damaged intestine and then you need to do an end to end anastomosis.
An anastomosis, OK.
Are you all right? Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
Ed, Ed.
Are you all right? I'm so sorry.
No.
This is cosy.
Just like old times.
Except it's Africa and not the Cotswolds.
Ed? Yes? I know I've caused you a lot of pain and I know I've no right to be here, let alone say this but I love you.
I've always loved you.
Could we try again? You have to be really careful here, when you close the incision line, not to let any of the gastrointestinal contents leak out.
OK.
Steady as you go.
That OK? It's perfect.
Oh! That's all right, just pick it up, that's it.
Just carry on.
That's it.
Six more of those should do it.
Who needs a certificate? See, I was right.
About what? I knew you'd be great.
And you were right.
I can leave this place in safe hands.
Now I just have to break it to Dup.
Morning.
Danny's going to kill me.
Well, hopefully this will smooth things over a bit.
Mm? The tests are done.
They show that the zebra doesn't have the virus.
Are you serious? You're in the clear.
We did the tests and we don't have an infected animal at Leopard's Den.
I see.
So, wherever it came from, it wasn't from us.
Well the vaccination seems to be working.
None of your horses are showing any sign of infection, but we'll keep them monitored until we're sure.
I can't tell you how relieved I am.
Would you like us to check on your neighbours' horses, to be on the safe side? No extra charge, of course.
If we've still got that contract.
Of course.
Thank you.
I spoke to one of my friends on the English polo circuit and he's never heard of you.
Really? Maybe our paths simply haven't crossed.
Because the polo world is so vast? Yes, indeed.
Shall we discuss the terms of our extended contract? Mmm.
Pompous twit.
Can't say it doesn't feel good seeing him taken down a peg or two.
Dup Yeah, I know, I know, we've all got to work together, you, me and polo boy.
You've got to tell him.
Yeah, I know.
I'll do it when we get back.
He might just surprise you.
You what? I can't bleddy believe you, Trevanion.
Come on, Dup, it's the right thing to do.
I have to go home.
You are home.
It's only for a year.
A year becomes two, becomes forever.
I need to be with Alice and the kids.
And you'll let this place go to the dogs? It's not going to the dogs.
Look what's just happened.
Do you know what? I don't care.
You do whatever you have to do.
What's happening? Trevanion's leaving us in the lurch.
Huh? Alice and I, we have decided to live in England for a bit.
What, you're going? I've told him we need him here.
I'm sorry, but I agree with Anders.
What's going to happen to our partnership and the project? I have every faith that you two will be able to carry on until I get back.
Oh, so you will come back? Of course.
But your mind's made up? Well, I suppose there's no point trying to talk you out of it then.
She wants to be with them.
She looks a lot happier now.
You seem really upset that Danny's going.
Well, yeah, he's my business partner and Leopard's Den Will be in safe hands.
Yours.
With you at the helm, this place will flourish.
Thank you.
Promise to write me and tell me about all your great successes.
Fiona, just a couple of things.
Erm, your financial offer, if it's still on the table, I'd like to take you up on it.
Great, I'll write you a cheque.
Well, that's very And the other thing? Oh, yeah, I was just thinking, if you'd like to stay here with me, you'd be most welcome.
I'd love that.
We're gonna make a great team again, you and me.
Sorry.
Hi, Rosie.
It's great news.
Fiona has agreed to bail us out.
Oh, that is great news.
Fantastic.
Anders! Dup! Anders! Oh, where is he? It's going to be strange here, without Danny.
There's still you and me, Caroline.
We'll stand firm.
Yes, yes, of course we will.
Oh, we've got Ed now and Fiona has saved the day.
Wouldn't that be ironic? What? Well, we think we've just saved Leopard's Den, but what if we've just destroyed it? What are you talking about? I'm not sure I trust her, that's all.
Oh, there he is.
Dup! Thought we'd find you here.
Come on, Anders.
Let's get you home.
You know, this place without Trevanion, it's not right.
I know.
We'll manage.
It will be fine.
Won't it, Rosie? Of course it will.
Come on.
You might want to see this.
Well, at least it's not cats and dogs.
Maybe the animals are trying to stop Danny going back to England.
Fiona's employed a solicitor.
He's been going over the agreement between us and Ed.
Try and oust me and my family from Leopards Den I think Ed's a little bit more driven than you all think.
What the bleddy hell is going on? Jumping into bed with an army of government lackeys? No way.
And when were you planning on telling Danny? I didn't want to make it harder for him to get on that plane.
You won't go changing everything as soon as I've got on the plane? Course not.
