There! Didn't I say we'd make a good team? But why three? You must be very hungry.
Oh it's not for me, it's for my friend.
Friend?
A crow. We have an arrangement. We free one another.
I never heard anything so silly in all my life!
Oh...
S2 E10Shadows
You must be very tired.
But happy.
Mmm... life can be very hard. Especially for an old fox like you.
Old? Me!?!
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you.
You really think I'm old?
But I'm still just a young buck!
I'm sorry, it's just... you look... what ever happened to you?
I... travelled a long way.
Where from?
A nature reserve called White Deer Park...
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run away like that.
And I was selfish. You were bound to be upset about your father.
What hope is there for us?
There must be some - My father has agreed to meet you.
What?
If you'll meet him...
So you're Scarface's famous son.
Not as famous as you sir.
Flattery will get you nowhere.
Sorry, I didn't mean-
Your own father is famous too. Scarface... I think you honour your father.
Yes sir.
Suppose your father attacked Charmer. Whose side would you fight on?
That isn't fair!
That is hard Fox.
It's what he has to face.
Sir, I've thought about this a good deal. If it came to an all out scrap between your family and mine, I wouldn't fight against you, but I wouldn't fight for you either.
Well at least he's honest. I suppose we've got to make do with that.
Oh thank you Father!
You haven't got my blessing. Not yet.
Thank you sir. I'll keep my side of the bargain, you can be sure of that!
It may come to that.
Bargain? What bargain? I haven't made a bargain with him! Others credit me with more than I deserve.
Oh no.
The famous fox from Farthing Wood? Huh!
But your father's a hero!
Don't believe all they tell you.
I'm really honoured to know you Bold.
S2 E11A Time Of Reckoning
Bold? I've got something to tell you.
Mmm?
I'm... carrying your cubs.
Oh, that's wonderful! Wonderful! Oh Whisper, I'm so happy.
I'm glad. Because you do realise it means we're going to have to leave here.
Why?
I want my cubs to be born somewhere safe. Where they can be near their own family.
What do you mean?
I want them to be born in White Deer Park.
But I swore never to go back.
I know, but you were on your own then.
Have you any idea how far it is?!?
All the more reason to start now.
Oh... why did you accept me as your mate?
Because of your father of course! My cubs will have his blood! Oh I do hope they'll take after him...
And I thought... I thought it was because you liked me...
Oh I do, I do! But I have to think of my cubs you know, they come first!
(sadly) Yes... the cubs come first.
I'm glad you agree. We musn't be selfish Bold. And if we really do want them born in your park then we must leave, now.
After all that brave talk you're going back!
Yes... with my tail between my legs(!).
You've failed!
Yes... my struggles are over Crow. (sighs)
Oh don't! You'll make me cry again.
All my life I've tried to escape from my father's shadow. But it seems I've fated!
She only accepted me as her mate because of my father. I'm no good to her! Except as a guide to lead her to his precious nature reserve! Oh!
(weeping) Oh dear, dear Bold! Can you forgive me Bold?
What for?
For making you take me back to your birthplace. I knew you didn't want to go... I'm sorry.
Without help... I would've died long ago. So perhaps after all there is somethng to be said about the oath and animals looking after one another. My father was right...
What are you doing on Farthing Land?
What's it to you?
Everything. Are you spying on us, or is this be an attack?
Which would you prefer my dear?
Are you threatening me?
Me? What are you thinking of? I am no common red fox used to brawling, I am Lady Blue, mate to Scarface.
I know who you are, and your heirs and graces don't fool me.
Insult me now? How DARE YOU!
Vixen! What happened!
It was Scarface's mate, Lady Blue. She was on the boundary by the pine trees. I challenged her and she... she attacked me!
Bold was right. I shouldn't have avoided the fight with Scarface.
You did what you thought was best at the time.
I was wrong. But Scarface is going to find things are very different from now on. I'm supposed to be a great hero! Well, I think it's time I lived up to the reputation.
S2 E12Blood Is Thicker Than Water
(wailing about Vixen) She really went for me! I don't know why. It's not as if I've done anything! You know me! An inoffensive little creature if ever there was one. Blood! She drew blood!
Oh... now what am I supposed to do? Wake up, do you hear me? WAKE UP!
Oh... where am I, am I home? Oh yes, I'm safe here near my own dear strong fierce mate! He will defend me!
'Course I will! Can't have other creatures duffing you up can I?
My hero!
Time I sorted that lot out. Those Farthing creatures are going to rue the day they ever set foot in White Deer Park.
(To Ranger) My son, today your family will reign supreme in White Deer Park! (laughs)
(about Scarface) He's going to kill every Farthing creature he can find!
And I know who'll he'll ask where to look! Got to hide! Got to hide!
Ooh, me too, me too!
What do you have to hide for? Scarface isn't interested in you!
He might think I'm not me!
Eh?
He might think I'm you!
Ahahahaha! And if I thought I looked anything like you I'd die! Think you're me indeed, what a cheek!
(hyperventilating) Well he might! I wouldn't be able to tell him anything useful, and then he'd get angry and tear me limb from limb! (sobs)...I wouldn't like that.
He's bound to find you if you make such a racket, and he'll find me as well! Oh, go and find your own hiding place!
It's only me. Where's Charmer?
I'm on watch now. State your business!
I... I have something to tell you. There's going to be an attack.
Huh! I don't believe you.
But it's true! When I got back to our earth, I heard my father planning it. I came to warn you!
Now why would you do that?
Because of Charmer. I beg you to keep her safe.
Who from? You?
I won't attack her. I told you. I won't fight with Farthing Land but I won't fight against it either.
Hah! The word of a blue fox isn't worth very much.
I can't stay much longer. If my father found me here he'd kill me. Just promise me. Promise you'll go back and tell your father so he can prepare. It's the best I could do for you. It can't hurt to pass on a message surely.
And how do I know you aren't telling me all this just to get rid of me, so your family can cross this boundary onto our land?
I'll go. Then you'll see there's no one following me.
Scarface will find the Farthing animals have not lost their courage!
