Blood Is Thicker Than Water
All through the long winter, add a head slept, knowing that springtime would bring
her the chance for revenge against Scarface.
Meanwhile, Vixen was attacked by Lady Blue Scarface's mate.
She attacked me, but Scarface got a different story.
I don't know why, I mean it's not as if I done anything.
Oh, now what am I supposed to do?
Oh yes, I'm safe here near my own dear strong fierce mate.
].
Our family's can't fight forever.
And then we'll be together.
I'll master all the blue foxes in the puck.
We'll flash out every thawed in creature alive
and kill them one by one.
What? That'll teach them Bravo!
My son, today your family will reign soon premium what dear book.
What happened?
An unprovoked attack.
It's a signal we've all been waiting for.
We'll move softly so as to give them no warning.
Weasel should know their hiding places.
Oh, I wonder where she is.
He's going to kill every farthing creature he can find.
And I know who he'll ask where to look.
Got a hide and got to hide.
Me too, me too.
What do you have to hide for?
Scarface isn't interested in you.
He might think I'm not me.
I? He might think I'm you.
If I thought I looked anything like you I'd die.
Think your may indeed worth cheek.
Willie might.
I wouldn't be able to tell him anything useful.
And then he can't angry and tear me limb from limb.
I wouldn't like that.
I'm about to find you if you make such a racket and you find me as well.
Oh, go and find your own hiding place.
Stop! Sharing!
Twirr.
This is silly.
The fun.
Go away.
No.
You look really silly, aren't you?
Oh, let me out!
Now I can find my own audio.
Let me out!
It's only me. Where's karma?
I'm on watch now.
Stature business.
I have something to tell you.
There's going to be an attack.
I don't believe you.
But it's true.
I heard my father planning it.
I came to warn you.
Now why would you do that?
Because of karma, I beg you to keep her safe.
You from?
You? I'm an attacker.
I told you. I won't fight with fatherland but I won't fight against it either.
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 your go-paer until your father so he can prepare.
It's the best I'll 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.
You'll see there's no one following me.
Friendly, what's wrong?
I saw a ranger.
He said his father was planning an attack on Farvingland.
An attack?
Excuse me, but it's true. I heard him planning to kill us all.
When?
Any minute now.
So the moment has come.
Our, Kestrel, get the word out.
Excuse me.
You too, Hare, if you got any breath left.
Tell everyone to come here immediately.
All for one and one for all.
Scarface will find the Farving animals have not lost their courage.
Scarface is about to attack.
Oh.
Don't panic.
Scarface is going to kill everybody.
Don't panic.
What's wrong with mum?
She's panicking.
That's all right, Ben. Everything's normal.
Will you stop rushing about and listen to me?
Fox wants to be sure you're somewhere safe.
Scarface will seek out your usual hiding places and flush you out.
Oh, I don't know. Talk to yourself.
Oh, Kestrel, long time no see, eh?
Scarface and his tribe are gathering for an attack.
We're all meeting at Fox's Earth.
I say, matey. Did she say there was going to be an attack?
Scarface is going to attack.
Everyone to Fox's Earth. Scarface is going to attack.
Scarface is going to attack.
We saw where I am.
Where are you?
Yeah, you lazy little twerp.
We saw.
Where are you? Stop this!
Ouch.
Scarface is about to attack falling lands.
I can hear you, but I can't see you.
Let's murder half-difficed. I can't see anything now.
Can you, Mother?
Not a thing.
Scarface is about to attack Farling Land.
Everyone's gathering at Fox's Earth.
Fox's Earth.
But that's miles away.
Not as the heron flies.
We'll feed him our fox.
Don't you worry.
Don't get any crazy ideas.
Scarface could destroy you.
All of you in seconds.
There's only one hope for you.
And that's me.
And even I may not be able to fend off his whole tribe of foxes.
But I promise you one thing.
I will defend you to the last.
Hooray!
Hooray!
Someone had better keep watch over by the pine trees.
You go, Kestrel.
Watch out!
I really do feel like a Farling animal now.
Well done, Mother.
Hooray!
Hooray!
I really do feel like a Farling animal now.
Well done, Mother.
Hooray!
Hooray!
Well done, Mother. Hooray!
It's strange.
Scarface attacking in daylight.
You'd have thought he would have waited till night.
Perhaps he knows something about our watch.
What do you mean, Friendly?
Perhaps he knows Charmer is on duty through the day.
That's not fair.
Friendly enough.
Let's not fight amongst ourselves.
She and Ranger are the weak Link Father.
He's probably told Scarface everything.
I said enough.
Everyone get below.
If only we had bold with us.
If wish were but the Father to the thought.
And the thought were but Mother to the deed.
Then bold would indeed be here.
But the long journey of Whisper and Bold back to the park had taken its toll.
Bold was not the strong young cub he once was.
Bold.
Bold.
It's time to go.
I can hear something.
Nothing here.
I can hear something.
Look at him close.
This is an old warrant.
Not used anymore.
There's a lot of them.
I wonder if I can guess where they were.
Somebody must have warned them.
Let's go.
They're coming.
They're coming.
They're coming.
This is all very exciting, isn't it?
Did you think it's exciting, dear?
I have a little idea to tell you.
Whisper and Bold.
Whisper and Bold.
Whisper and Bold.
Whisper and Bold.
Whisper and Bold.
Whisper and Bold.
And the fun mustn't be too modest, my boy.
You shall walk beside me, onwards.
They're here! They're here!
Keep very quiet.
He can't know you're all here.
Stay here.
So much for your precious rangers promises, my girl.
What do you mean?
He's right outside with his father.
Oh no, but he can't mean to fight.
He'll fight. Blood is thicker than water.
Anyone here?
Yala, are you inside? Let me talk to you.
You'll listen to me.
Do you want to give us all away?
Please, I want to say, Yala, come back here.
Ranger, you okay?
Get back outside before I kill you.
I guess it looks bad to you, but if you let me explain
There's no time for explanations.
I offered to kick me out of here.
I bet you did.
You want the credit for finding us.
You got me all wrong.
I'm going to report back that the earth's deserted.
Not a soul in here.
Gagga! The game's up, my friend.
Your earth and all the creatures in it are completely surrounded.
Get out, Ranger!
I'm sorry.
If you don't come out now, I'll give you a silver. We'll starve you down.
We've got them all right.
Don't be afraid.
I told you, you'll have to deal with me first.
I'm going to challenge Scarface to single combat.
It's the only way.
Yes, I know.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
You really are the heroic farthing fox after all.
No!
Oh, no!
So, you came in strength, Scarface?
You two have your followers.
Such as I are.
No followers. Only friends.
They've got to rule the day they ever met you.
You've no quarrel with them.
It's me you're afraid of.
Afraid?
You dare suggest Scarface is afraid?
Yes. Ever since I came to White Deer Park, you've been afraid of me.
Oh, right. You're warning me, aren't you?
Prove you're not afraid. Fight me.
Just you and me. Come on.
Why sacrifice yourself?
If you kill me, your quarrel with the animals of Farthingwood will come to an end.
I want your promise on that.
And if I kill you
You're out for
Come on!
What are you waiting for? Or are you yellow?
No!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Help me! Help me!
Help me! Help me!
Why, has he let him go? He could have killed him.
He just hasn't got the killer instinct.
Scarface is defeated. He won't be back.
If he comes, he'll come alone. There's no heart for a fight amongst the rest.
I think Ranger's sought to that.
They should have finished him.
I say it's as well for us, Fox. Hasn't got the killer instinct. Or where would we be?
Oh what? Who wants to know?
We do.
I suppose you won't, wouldn't you?
She's on for. It must have been Fox.
Yippee! Yippee!
Don't pretend you're glad.
Of course I'm glad Scarface is dead.
You've attacked me a great nitwit.
But he is dead. I thought Fox won.
He did. But he let Scarface go.
That's right.
Stop pretending.
If you had wanted Scarface dead, you would have given Adder the right message in the first place.
Oh no, not that again.
We didn't do it on purpose.
No, we didn't.
In fact, if you asked me, dunking us in a pond was a miscarriage of justice.
Miscarriage of justice.
By that, I mean it wasn't fair.
Wasn't fair.
And I insist on taking our case to a higher authority.
Higher authority.
If they insist, I don't see how we can stop them.
What authority can be higher than mine?
The white stack.
She is an extremely silly weasel,
and her extreme silliness, no doubt,
caused her to deliver the wrong message.
But I do not think there was any malign intention in what she and her accomplice did.
So, does that mean we can get our own back by dunking them in the pond as well?
Ooh, ooh.
Perhaps an apology would satisfy you.
We're sorry.
We're waiting.
We're sorry.
Don't worry, it was worth it just to ain't no say back!
But while hearts were light inside the park,
not far beyond its confines,
Bould's heart was heavy.
I've been held by so many creatures.
It's as though I've never left the park.
I'm so looking forward to meeting your father and mother.
You will.
Very soon.
Bould. Can it be you?
Yes, Shadow.
This is my mate, Whisper.
We're on our way back to White Deer Park.
But you swore you would never go back there.
Were you really going now?
My cops will see it.
Come on. We're nearly there.
Thank you, Shadow.
And goodbye.
Goodbye, Bould.
Death also threatened Scarfies.
They're there.
I'll look after you, my love.
Oh, I'm not your cub.
No, my love, you're not.
You're the bravest fox in the whole world.
Fox may have lacked the killer instinct, but not at her.
And now it's Smider.
Smider.
Smider.
Smider.
Smider.
Smider.
