1. Led by Fox, guided by Toad,
Copy !req
2. we animals of Farthing Wood faced
many perils on our long journey
Copy !req
3. until confronted by
a danger surpassing all.
Copy !req
4. I didn't know what
they were building, did I?
Copy !req
5. There are no cars
moving on this side.
Copy !req
6. Come on, while we
have the chance.
Copy !req
7. Gasping in the fumes, we gambled our
lives trying to get through the traffic.
Copy !req
8. Whistler carried the
smallest, the larger ran.
Copy !req
9. Tragically, the hedgehogs died together.
Copy !req
10. But for the survivors the final
hurdle had been overcome.
Copy !req
11. Now nothing could prevent us
from reaching White Deer Park.
Copy !req
12. What we need is
a marching song.
Copy !req
13. Oh, no.
Copy !req
14. Why not?
It'll cheer us up.
Copy !req
15. I'll start us
off, shall I?
Copy !req
16. Shush.
Copy !req
17. What's wrong? There's nothing
in sight and I can see for miles.
Copy !req
18. Exactly.
Copy !req
19. We can be seen for miles.
Copy !req
20. And heard, especially you.
Copy !req
21. Look, there's Whistler and Kestrel.
Copy !req
22. And Owl.
Miles away.
Copy !req
23. What's wrong, why
have they stopped?
Copy !req
24. I don't know but
it's a bit odd.
Copy !req
25. Everyone seems afraid.
Copy !req
26. It's too exposed here. And that's
why we've got to keep going.
Copy !req
27. Come on. Not far now, mateys.
Copy !req
28. Get a move on back there,
we can't stop yet.
Copy !req
29. Oh, somebody say something.
- Shush.
Copy !req
30. Well, I'm going to say
something. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
31. No Moley, don't start that.
Copy !req
32. But there's nothing to eat.
- Not a grub in sight, mateys.
Copy !req
33. Well, the soil's nice anyway.
Should be some juicy worms.
Copy !req
34. And we're alright, the
vegetables are beautiful.
Copy !req
35. I've never seen a
nicer young cabbage.
Copy !req
36. Stop!
Copy !req
37. There's no farmer to see us,
we're not in any danger.
Copy !req
38. Why can't we eat the cabbages?
- I don't like the smell of it.
Copy !req
39. But I'll faint if I don't eat soon.
- Good, then maybe you'll shut up.
Copy !req
40. What's wrong, Fox?
- Reminds me of something.
Copy !req
41. Look around you, Badger.
You see any field mice?
Copy !req
42. There's no animals at all. Not
even caterpillars, they love cabbages.
Copy !req
43. Strange, isn't it?
Copy !req
44. See what you mean.
- There are no flowers either.
Copy !req
45. No buttercups,
poppies or daisies.
Copy !req
46. Just...
- Cabbages.
Copy !req
47. It isn't natural.
Copy !req
48. You must call
everyone together.
Copy !req
49. I say, you can't tell Fox
what to do like that.
Copy !req
50. What's wrong?
Copy !req
51. Just because there's no meat for
them, doesn't mean we can't eat anything.
Copy !req
52. If I've said it once, I've
said it a hundred times.
Copy !req
53. We smaller animals
must demand our rights.
Copy !req
54. Look out!
Copy !req
55. What does it mean?
Copy !req
56. Danger.
- Take care!
Copy !req
57. What a din.
Copy !req
58. What's happening?
Copy !req
59. If something's wrong,
just don't tell me.
Copy !req
60. Are we all here?
Copy !req
61. The mice, shrews and
voles are on their way.
Copy !req
62. Here comes Whistler.
Copy !req
63. Oh, so sorry.
Copy !req
64. I might have
known it was you.
Copy !req
65. Quiet, Owl has
something to tell us.
Copy !req
66. You are standing
on poisoned land.
Copy !req
67. It's in the ground we walk on,
in the air we breathe
Copy !req
68. and the plants, which seem so
luscious, are probably deadly.
Copy !req
69. Weasel!
Copy !req
70. But how?
Copy !req
71. It was done deliberately.
Copy !req
72. The farmer.
Copy !req
73. I knew I recognized
that smell.
Copy !req
74. He keeps the poison hidden
even from his own kind.
Copy !req
75. There are some things even
humans don't approve of.
Copy !req
76. Poison? So that's why
there are no flowers.
Copy !req
77. Or insects, or any
creatures at all.
Copy !req
78. Nothing can live here except
the things humans want to grow.
Copy !req
79. But what will they
do with the cabbages?
Copy !req
80. Eat them.
Copy !req
81. Won't they die too?
Copy !req
82. Who knows.
Perhaps very slowly.
Copy !req
83. They're mad.
Copy !req
84. Alright, there's only
one thing we can do.
Copy !req
85. Get out of here as
quickly as possible.
Copy !req
86. Come on Moley,
old chap. Moley?
Copy !req
87. Oh no, Moley.
What have you done?
Copy !req
88. Hello, Badger.
Copy !req
89. Moley, how many
worms did you eat?
Copy !req
90. None, they were all dead.
Copy !req
91. Oh, thank the Lord.
Come on, climb up.
Copy !req
92. But, aren't we stopping to eat?
I'm so hungry.
Copy !req
93. Moley, you appetite will be
the death of you one day.
Copy !req
94. Why?
What's wrong?
Copy !req
95. I'll tell you
as we go along.
Copy !req
96. Look, trees!
Lots of trees!
Copy !req
97. Juicy.
Copy !req
98. I wouldn't if
I were you.
Copy !req
99. What is it?
- Another human trick.
Copy !req
100. Humans have a saying:
Copy !req
101. "One man's meat is
another man's poison."
Copy !req
102. Goodness knows what they've
done to these appels.
Copy !req
103. Let's hope for their sakes
they've got strong stomachs.
Copy !req
104. Can we eat yet? My stomach's
rumbling something terrible.
Copy !req
105. No, mother. Owl thinks all the
animals and plants are poisoned.
Copy !req
106. Except you, of course.
Copy !req
107. Adder!
- Just teasing.
Copy !req
108. Hunger is stronger
than any oath.
Copy !req
109. Owl's right.
Instinct will out.
Copy !req
110. I should know.
Copy !req
111. So, Fox.
What shall we do?
Copy !req
112. Kestrel?
Copy !req
113. Can you see anywhere nearby
where we might find food?
Copy !req
114. Just fields and fields as
far as the eye can see. Nothing.
Copy !req
115. There's a town
a long way off.
Copy !req
116. Could we reach it tonight?
Copy !req
117. You could.
- Why?
Copy !req
118. Alright, so humans have
taken away our food.
Copy !req
119. So why don't we
take away theirs?
Copy !req
120. What do you mean?
Copy !req
121. Scavenge.
Copy !req
122. And we're expected
to go hungry, I suppose?
Copy !req
123. It's all very
well for you.
Copy !req
124. Be quiet.
Copy !req
125. We larger animals, Vixen, Owl and
Whistler, can go forraging for everyone.
Copy !req
126. You mean bring food back?
Copy !req
127. That's about it.
- What sort of food?
Copy !req
128. I'm a martyr to my
indigestion, you know.
Copy !req
129. Oh, shut up.
Copy !req
130. Anything you want.
Put in your orders now.
Copy !req
131. What have you found?
Copy !req
132. I don't know,
I smell food.
Copy !req
133. Me too.
But where?
Copy !req
134. Come on.
Copy !req
135. What kept you?
Copy !req
136. Did you knock this over?
Copy !req
137. No, cats.
I chased them off.
Copy !req
138. Fish.
Copy !req
139. Tastes a bit odd
but it's fish alright.
Copy !req
140. You're supposed to be
forraging for the others.
Copy !req
141. Let him feed his
own face first.
Copy !req
142. Meanwhile, we'll gather
together what we can.
Copy !req
143. Come on, Vixen.
Copy !req
144. Was that thunder?
Copy !req
145. No, only somebody's
stomach complaining.
Copy !req
146. If Whistler doesn't
get back soon, I'll eat.
Copy !req
147. The oath.
Copy !req
148. I'd eat that if it was on
four legs. Or even two.
Copy !req
149. You're doing it on purpose.
- Oh, do excuse me.
Copy !req
150. I never was much good
at landing on dry land.
Copy !req
151. Anyway. Look, I brought meat.
Copy !req
152. I forgive you.
Copy !req
153. Did you say meat?
Copy !req
154. We can't eat that.
- Neither can the rabbits.
Copy !req
155. Oh, please be patient.
Copy !req
156. Fox, where are you?
Copy !req
157. Here.
Copy !req
158. Split.
Copy !req
159. Couldn't see them anywhere.
Copy !req
160. Disappeared.
Copy !req
161. There you are.
Where's Fox?
Copy !req
162. We were chased
by two huge dogs.
Copy !req
163. We split up.
They followed him.
Copy !req
164. It'll soon be light.
Copy !req
165. I hoped he
might be here.
Copy !req
166. I'm going back
to look for him.
Copy !req
167. In daylight?
Oh no, my dear.
Copy !req
168. It's not safe.
- But Fox...
Copy !req
169. He'll find his way back to us.
He always has, you know.
Copy !req
170. And we need you to help us find
our way out of the poisoned land.
Copy !req
171. The darkest hour is
just before the dawn.
Copy !req
172. Well, it is.
Copy !req
173. This is the way alright.
Copy !req
174. My homing instinct is homing
in on White Deer Park now, mateys.
Copy !req
175. Come along everyone.
Copy !req
176. Leave that alone!
Copy !req
177. These cabbages smell different.
Copy !req
178. Perhaps this field
hasn't been poisoned.
Copy !req
179. And I'm so hungry.
Copy !req
180. Me too, we didn't get
much lettuce last night.
Copy !req
181. Always complaining,
not a hint of gratitude.
Copy !req
182. They're so lovely.
Copy !req
183. Please Badger, I'm sure
they aren't poisoned.
Copy !req
184. But suppose they are.
Copy !req
185. I could die.
Copy !req
186. Why don't you
try it first, Badger?
Copy !req
187. What a good idea.
Copy !req
188. Then I'd know whether
it was safe to eat or not.
Copy !req
189. And you are leader
while Fox is missing.
Copy !req
190. No one is to risk eating
anything around here.
Copy !req
191. They here you,
but will anyone obey?
Copy !req
192. Delicious.
Copy !req
193. Don't take any notice. Come
on Badger, better get going.
Copy !req
194. Kestrel, any sign of Fox?
Copy !req
195. Yes. He's just entering the field
from the copse on the other side.
Copy !req
196. He's alright.
Copy !req
197. Thank goodness.
Copy !req
198. Kestrel, what's going on?
Copy !req
199. There are two tractors approaching Badger
and the others in the middle of the field.
Copy !req
200. They're making rain.
Copy !req
201. Rain?
Poison?
Copy !req
202. It's spraying everywhere and they're
closing in on Badger and the others.
Copy !req
203. I must warn them,
they must run.
Copy !req
204. No! Can't run fast
enough, some of them.
Copy !req
205. Is it an earthquake?
Copy !req
206. Don't panic.
Copy !req
207. Excuse me, funny smell.
Copy !req
208. If any of that
rain falls on them.
Copy !req
209. I could carry one
or two to safety.
Copy !req
210. No time. But I know the one
place the humans aren't going to go.
Copy !req
211. Where?
Copy !req
212. The place they've poisoned
already, back the way we came.
Copy !req
213. I want to run.
Copy !req
214. Keep still, please.
Copy !req
215. If we lie low,
they won't see us.
Copy !req
216. Says who?
Copy !req
217. Quickly.
Copy !req
218. Now listen, all of you.
Copy !req
219. Are you alright?
Copy !req
220. I'm fine, but we've
got to move quickly.
Copy !req
221. Those tractors will be back
and they're spraying poison.
Copy !req
222. Oh, no.
Copy !req
223. We'd better run for it.
Copy !req
224. You don't have
to tell me twice.
Copy !req
225. Stop!
Copy !req
226. Not that way, back
the way we came.
Copy !req
227. Are you telling us we've got to
go back to that terrible place
Copy !req
228. where we couldn't eat anything?
- That's what I'm telling you.
Copy !req
229. You can tell me 'til you're blue
in the face but I'm not going.
Copy !req
230. Nor me.
Copy !req
231. We smaller animals are sick
and tired of being pushed around.
Copy !req
232. You'll do as I
tell you, or else...
Copy !req
233. Or else what?
Copy !req
234. Or else I'll bite
your head off.
Copy !req
235. Right. I was going anyway.
Copy !req
236. Nice one, Fox.
Copy !req
237. Hurry! They're coming back.
Copy !req
238. Hurry he says, what does
he think I'm doing?
Copy !req
239. Faster!
Copy !req
240. I think I got sprayed.
Copy !req
241. I got sprayed.
Copy !req
242. I'm going to die.
And it's all your fault.
Copy !req
243. He does look dreadful.
He always looks dreadful.
Copy !req
244. Poor old Rabbit.
Copy !req
245. Come off it,
you're alright.
Copy !req
246. That stuff isn't good news if
you happen to be a catterpillar.
Copy !req
247. But it isn't so bad
for us, eh old girl?
Copy !req
248. Better safe than sorry.
Copy !req
249. And now, we're stuck in this awful
place again with nothing to eat.
Copy !req
250. Now then, that's enough. I'm
sure Fox has thought of something.
Copy !req
251. I have, there's
another way out.
Copy !req
252. We don't have to go
through the field at all.
Copy !req
253. What?
Are you sure?
Copy !req
254. Where?
Where can we go?
Copy !req
255. You mean we've
got to start walking.
Copy !req
256. Again?
Now?
Copy !req
257. But I've only
just got here.
Copy !req
258. Don't give up, mateys.
Copy !req
259. White Deer Park is just
the other side of that town.
Copy !req
260. The one Fox and Vixen
went forraging in last night.
Copy !req
261. Toad's right. So that's
what we're going to do.
Copy !req
262. Go through the town.
Copy !req
263. We can't go
through the town.
Copy !req
264. We'd never make it.
It's much too dangerous.
Copy !req
265. We'd never make it.
Copy !req
266. I know a way. I found it last night when
I was running away from those dogs.
Copy !req
267. And I was worried
about you.
Copy !req
268. Didn't I tell you
he'd be alright?
Copy !req
269. I've seen White Deer Park.
It's on the other side of the town.
Copy !req
270. Hooray!
Copy !req
271. What did I tell you mateys,
it's the last stage of our journey.
Copy !req
272. Come on!
Copy !req
