It's good to feel everyone's behind me. But this is my battle and I've got to fight it alone. Time I put a stop to this Scarface, before he puts a stop to us.
S2 E7The Feud Begins
What's wrong with you? What's up?
I'm... dying!
Eh? What of?
Scarface wounded me as he forced me down the tunnel. I'm bleeding!
Oh you can't die yet, he wants to question you!
He may be too late! My life's blood is flowing from my veins.
Can't you just hold on till he comes back? He's only gone hunting.
I'm... going. (He suddenly leaps and escapes from the earth)
You! Come back here!
Scarface has got a Farthing cub. I expect he'll kill it and then there'll be ruptures. Fox won't stand for it, he won't!
You know, the last time we met you told me you didn't know the Farthing fox.
We heard you were taken by Scarface.
I was. Only I escaped.
Escaped?
Yeah, it was nothing. Just a bit of low cunning, a speedy getaway and here I am!
Honestly, Dad makes too much fuss about Scarface! Too cautious by half!
Excuse me, but in the wild caution is essential to survival!
Huh. What could that old codger do?
Badger? More than you apparently.
You're all against me!
The red fox cleared the park of poachers. You suffered losses because of them. You should be grateful to the Farthing fox.
Grateful? To him? He drew the attention of the poachers to the foxes in the first place!
But he saved the deer herd, and without the White Deer there would be no White Deer Park, would there? Not for you, nor the Farthing Wood fox or anyone else.
The Farthing Wood animals have a saying. "All for one, and one for all". I am beginning to understand it.
More than I do. He's just a troublemaker him! Says we kidnapped his cub! What rubbish. Do you see a red cub round here?
He's lost. I only asked if you'd seen him.
Scarface, do you swear you don't have the Farthing cub imprisoned in your earth?
That common little beast, in my earth? Puh!
Then we must believe him.
Be quiet! Fox is satisfied. Now he's going to leave your territory, and you're going to let him.
I told you before, Weasel is working for Scarface.
No she's not. Weasel saved my skin as a matter of fact! She was the one who got the stag to come along.
There's an old saying Fox. "It is easy to persuade a person of something he wants to believe".
Yes? Well I know an old saying too Owl. "Credit where credit's due". Well done Weasel.
Dad?
And as for you, from now on my son you are going to toe the line. You will keep yourself where you can be seen at all hours of the day and night. You will speak only when you are spoken to and you will obey my orders. Right?
Bold? Try not to be too hard on him Fox. You were young once.
It's alright Mother. I'm going anyway.
Going? What do you mean?
I can't live here with him! I need space. Freedom to be myself! So, I'm off. Take care of her Charmer.
But Bold! You're too young to go off on your own.
This park... just isn't big enough for both of us, is it Dad? So I say goodbye... forever!
Bold, come back! Come back!
S2 E8Like Father, Like Son
Caw! Any real fox would turn his nose up at a scrap like that!
It's food isn't it?
It's unfair on those weaker than yourself, who would have been glad of a ready meal.
Okay. I'll leave you some. How about that?
Oh. Well, if you put it that way... Chancing your luck aren't you?
What do you mean?
Out and about in daylight? Aren't you afraid of the humans?
(looks around and laughs) What humans?
You can mock, but you'll be sorry!
Rubbish! Why don't you come and eat?
I will... when you've gone.
Huh! Too cautious by half. (he runs off)
That young cub's in for a nasty shock, one of these days.
I don't want to hurt you! Is this your sett? I'm sorry.
I've not seen you before have I?
I'm new around here. My nose led me.
The pheasants, yes. A lot of foxes come. But they don't stay.
Why? Get bored of taste or what?
The human kills them. He wants the pheasants for himself.
Oh, surely he can spare a few.
See what I mean?
I refuse to live in fear of man or beast! Why should I?
See? I'm Bold and I'm free. Got it?
Scarface! I should have dealt with him earlier.
The hares weren't on Farthing Land. He's within his rights.
He did it to spite us.
Oh he's very spiteful, isn't he Measley?
Ooh yeah, I'd say spite incarnate he is.
You had no proof.
But what to doooo? To dooo?
I know what I'm going to do... I'm bringing my family back to live on Farthing Land that's what.
(about Scarface) He who lives by stealth shall die by stealth.
I see. So you're saying he killed Dreamer in such a way none of us knew it was him? Now we've got to kill him in the same way.
Did I say that?
You know you did you pompous old bird!
(To Weasel and Measley) Take Adder a message from me. Tell her Fox says "He who rids me of the blue fox will be doing me a great service". Got it?
