All language subtitles for Our Zoo - 01x04

What are you doing dressed?!

Heroes deserve a cup of tea in bed.

We can't say we run
a competent zoo, Lizzie,

not if the animals aren't secure.

Imagine if one of the girls
had been hurt.

Sit down a minute... and drink this.

I've got to get to the bank.

We can't get any more money from
the bank, George. We have to.

Are you sure you're all right?
You look a bit pale.

I'm fine.

Raring to go.

Good morning.

Every time I see you,
you look younger.

There must be something wrong
with your eyes, Mr Fenchwood,

I remain an old woman. Nonsense.
I simply won't hear it.

Sorry, I was told I was next.

Good lord! Look at him!

What an adorable little man!

May I?

Oh!

Don't let me queue barge.

You go ahead. Percy and I will look
after each other, won't we, Percy?

Grand. Look.

There's a good boy!

Oh, yes!

Thank you.

Hey, have you decorated in here?

No.

Aye, well, looks nice.

We're due to get the nod on the
planning permission any day now.

Well, that's most welcome, George.

I'm pleased for you, I am.

Oh. Yeah, and we've taken delivery
of a colony of penguins.

And the aviary, 17 varieties of
exotic birds. And a pelican.

Everything that I told you
we'd do, we've done.

That's the good news. The good news?

We need to make a final push.

The pay gate, the cafe.

Do you mean to tell me you
haven't built them yet?!

George, without those, how are you
going to make any money?

My priority has been the animals,
you see, their safety.

Now £300... and we can
finish those enclosures,

put the final touches on the cafe...

That £3,000 I loaned you
for the house was my limit.

I understand that.
I really, really do.

I was called up to head office
to explain myself, you know.

I'll not be doing that again.

Just come and take a look
at what we've built.

No.

Because I know what'll happen,
you'll wear me down.

Just like you did
with that... bloody monkey.

Well, we can't open
without more money.

Then what's it all been for, eh?

You tell me.

Thank you.

One day, I don't doubt,

they'll replace the Mr Fenchwoods of
this world with little wind-up men.

We'll turn a tin handle

and they'll be able to turn us down
flat far more efficiently.

Not you I'm sure, M'lady. Come on.

I speak from some
experience of sorts.

My late husband was in banking.

Let me help you.

How much do you want for Percy?

His name's Mortimer. I'm afraid
he belongs to my daughter.

Are you sure?

Children grow
out of animals so fast.

No, not him.

He's a friend for life.

You can't just run off any time
you choose, you know.

We'll have to keep
a close eye on him, Eve.

Dad?!

Dad! What's wrong?!

I'm nearly finished, Mr Mottershead.

It's nasty. Must have
been a big animal.

I was fixing greenhouse, it were
a pane of glass that did that.

Your dad needs a rest. Come on.

We'll, he's exhausted. He needs
food, water and complete bed rest.

You're going to have to lock him
in that bedroom, then.

You can be his jailer, Lucy.
Nothing gets past her.

Thank you.

Mrs Mottershead, if George
keeps on working like this,

he's likely to have a seizure.

He pushes himself so hard.

The animals are demanding,
I know that,

but digging ditches on
little food and less sleep,

fixing stables...

the greenhouse,

will take an awful toll on his
health unless he gets some proper rest.

Why are you still awake, love?

How could Adam do that to Dad?

He didn't mean to hurt hum,
it's his instinct to defend himself.

There's nothing for you
to worry about.

Is there a problem, Reverend?

Well, I just...
I spoke with Ronald Tipping.

The council won't strike down the
Mottershead's planning application,

not out of hand. But the zoo's
a risk to public health!

Not according to Dr Ford's report.

We had a village meeting. Everyone
was there, everyone was against.

We didn't take a vote.

I was trying to spare his wife
and children the embarrassment.

Look where it got us.

We need... names.

People who object.

Specific complaints in writing.

A petition, you mean?

Let me do this, Aaron.

Please?

Penguin biscuits?

They're new.
Been flying off the shelves.

Ever since we got some of their
cousins in at Oakfield, I don't doubt.

Hope you're not having second
thoughts, Gwen, about the Zoo?

Of course not.

Because it's how men like
him prey on the weak.

Seduce you with something
sweet... endearing.

But next... comes nature red
in tooth and claw.

You just need to keep in mind
whose side of this you're on.

Good morning.

Are these fresh? Fresh enough.

And will you be paying with cash
or putting it on account?

We don't have an account.

For Selborne Hall, I mean.

Lady Katherine sent me a note.

Anything you need that you can't
afford, I'm to charge to her.

Must be a weight off for you.

We can afford our own food.

Thank you.

What time is it? Just gone ten.

Ten?! Why didn't you wake me,
Lizzie? Er... stay where you are.

You're going to eat this, then
you're going to get some more rest.

Come on.

Dr Ford's orders.

Every last mouthful.

Do you know anything about
this Selborne Hall account?

Lady Katherine says she'd cover
anything we can't afford.

Well, that's nice of her.

No, George, it's not.

I didn't know anything about it!

Good. Because I don't want people
thinking that we're a charity case.

Is something wrong?

No, no. Erm...

No, it's perfect.

Grandad! Come away, he'll hurt you!

He's fine, love.

You see?

He's fine.

Not a chance.

Everything all right?
Everything's under control.

Now, the penguin with
the white flipper? He's eating.

Sidney needs his lice powder.
Lizzie did it.

Mew's about to milk. Go back to bed!

I just need a scrap of paper,
to write something on. Just you try it!

Morning!

Archie?

Morning.

What have you got there?
It's a challenge.

For you. Oh... another one?

I hope it's easier
than feeding those bears.

It's fresh...

..warm goat's milk.

Mmm! Uh-huh.

Is there any post for us?

High tea, isn't that what
you call it, M'lady?

I'll deal with this.

Well, I'd like you to meet
the entire family.

No, Percy will be here.

Yes, well, he's missed you too.

Yep.

Till tomorrow, then.

Goodbye.

Who was that?

A friend of mine.

Pots of money. Husband's a banker.

And who's Percy? Mortimer.

Are you running a temperature?
You're supposed to be in bed.

What's that for?!

For cooping me up in that room...

and giving me an idea.

That was delicious that.

She's late. I'm not surprised.

If she's as well-bred as George says,
she wouldn't be caught dead here.

She's coming!

Hey, that's a lovely car that,
M'lady.

The late Lord Goodwin's.

Only drove it twice,
he was scared stiff of it.

Now, where is he?

Well, first may I introduce
my family?

M'lady. Thank you, my good man.

M'lady, I'm George's wife.

But you have a name of your own,
I take it?

Yes, I do. It's Lizzie.

A pleasure, Lizzie.

And you must be someone's mother?

Welcome to Oakfield, M'lady.

Watch where you tread.

Why's she talking like that?

Very good! You may walk me in.

Thank you, my dear.

Victoria Sponge, M'lady?

Now, we've committed everything
we have to this zoo and we're close.

And there's all manner of ways
in which you could play a part.

A biscuit perhaps? They're home
baked, fresh out of the oven.

Is this Assam?

Never mind. Look, spare me
the speech, Mr Mottershead.

I'm here. I came to buy Percy
as discussed.

Who's Percy?
Little chap, enormous eyes.

Reminds me of my late husband.
LUCY LAUGHS

I'll just freshen the pot.
Percy? You mean Mortimer?

Is he here? George, you can't.

I'm not. M'lady, I am offering you
the chance... to sponsor Percy.

But he'd still live here with you?

All the fun, none of the fuss.
I'd have to see him again first.

This is our newest feature.

Now imagine it, if you will,

your name up there in proudly
painted letters for all to see.

The Lord and Lady Goodwin
Penguin Enclosure.

I know what's going on here.

Well, I can assure you, M'lady...

I will not be exploited,
Mr Mottershead.

It was Percy that got me
all the way out here.

Oh!

Ten pound a year.
Call it a charitable donation.

And I'd have to be able to visit him
whenever I liked. Day or night.

Five. Seven.

Deal.

Darling!

There!

Hello.

It's got potential, but you'll
need more than my donation

to finish this place, you know.

What about your friends?
My friends?!

Aye, we could... get 'em involved.

Like have a... What do you call it?

A benefit. What do you think?

A fundraiser? Well, you've got
some pluck, I'll give you that.

Bye, Percy.

Charming! Never even said goodbye.

Oh, she probably thinks
we're idiots, that's why.

I should have known what tea
I was serving!

Oh, don't be daft.
It was a test and I failed it.

We don't belong in a big house
like this,

that's what people think.

Mew...

have you met me friend?

Dad!

Are you sure we shouldn't have
spoken to Mum about this first?

She'll be fine.

Oh, two Mottersheads at once.

To what do I owe the pleasure?
Come in.

Much obliged.

The Chester Set,
Lady Goodwin's friends.

A genteel bunch, I'm sure.

It's just a few hours in a
place fitting for the occasion.

Look, I think a benefit is a fabulous...
And we'd pay for any breakages.

Not that there would be any,
of course. It's not about that.

To get an invitation to a house
like this, it makes a statement.

Let Lady Katherine speak, Dad.

And if we raised a decent amount,

it'd make all the difference,
wouldn't it?

Yes. Yes?

Yes, you can have your benefit here.

And you'll host it? No!

No, you're more than capable of
hosting it yourself. He's really not.

You're part of the attraction,
Katherine.

It's a draughty old ballroom
without you to add the class.

It's your event,
you don't need me involved.

It wouldn't be appropriate.

The whole village
has signed it... almost.

Who are we missing? The Fords.

She does everything she can
to avoid me. Barnaby, too.

Well, they hold positions
of influence.

I think you need them both.

Why don't I have a word? Oh!

Am I being replaced, Reverend?

Er... I was early to pick up June,

so I thought I'd take you up
on your kind offer.

I hope that's all right? Of course.

You know, Purcell was
my late wife's favourite.

Sorry, I... I had no idea.

No, I'm grateful.
You play it beautifully.

I haven't heard it in years.

Excuse me interrupting. Carry on.

What's going on?

Reports of a dangerous
animal on the loose.

Good afternoon, Reverend.
Please hold for Councillor Tipping.

Stay back, ladies!

Where did it come from?

Someone dumped it on the front step.

I called the exterminator.

There'll be no need for that.

What's wrong, love?
You're very quiet.

Frankie? What are you doing?

Plucking up the courage to knock.

What's in the basket?

A gift for George.

Come in!

How did the planning meeting go?
We still haven't heard anything.

Strictly speaking, those
meetings are closed sessions,

so I can't say much.
But, put it this way,

a doctor not so far from here gave
the zoo a glowing recommendation.

Music?

Er... Your gramophone.

Be sensible. You need skilled
musicians for an event like this.

Booze?
Champagne. Only the finest.

I'll get Billy onto that.

Why do I suddenly feel nervous?

Who's this?

Agnes Franklin, Chester Council.

I'm a big fan.

Thank you. Please.

Lizzie...

It says Selborne Hall.

Yeah, Katherine's very happy
for us to use it.

You're happy to throw our lot in
with Lady Katherine Longmore, then?

The bank won't lend us
another penny, love.

Besides she's not hosting it,
we are.

At her house.

Well, we can hardly have it here.

First the account at the shop,
and now this.

George, we're making her a big
part of this zoo by taking her

hand-outs and we hardly know her.
We've got no choice.

That's exactly my point.

Oh, it's all right, love,
come here. He won't hurt you.

He will!

Someone left him
outside the council.

They called an exterminator
but I talked him round.

Put him down, Dad. He'll bite you.

Hey, no, no, he won't, June Bug.
It's a python.

You've read about them
in your book, June.

They're nonvenomous, right, Dad?

Doesn't stop him being a slimy devil.

"In formal dining, the fabric
of the napkins should be compatible

"with the fine, smooth texture
of the formal table cloth."

Are you planning a sit-down supper?

No, I don't think so.

I suppose canapes could work
for an event like this.

And a clear soup, maybe?
People do like something warming.

Yes, they do, don't they?
What drinks will you be serving?

I would lend you
Lord Ainslie's punch bowl

but he's a bit touchy about it.

It was a gift, you see,
from the Austrian royal family.

Oh, really?

That's nice of them.

Figs, walnuts... and caviar.

Caviar?!
Oh, dear, can you not get it?

I can get hold of anything...
given fair warning.

Will you be paying with cash?

Let's just put it on the Selborne
Hall account for now, shall we?

They stink of smoke.

Warehouse fire.
You can air them out.

Look at the detail on that! There'll
be no-one wearing finer, Muriel.

We need one for Frankie too.
Who's he?

Hey.

None of these bottles
have labels.

Shipwreck. Don't worry,
we can stick some on.

But it's definitely Champagne
inside? I am insulted, Georgie.

What about musicians?

The Prague Philharmonic's playing
the Manchester Opera House,

I booked a few fellas from the
string section on their night off.

Billy?

I'm impressed.

"A lady should not attend
a ball without an escort,

"nor should she promenade
the ballroom alone."

Do you own a dickie bow, Archie? If
this is another challenge, Muriel...

Are you free next Tuesday? Me?

We're having a benefit for the zoo.

We're a date in the social calendar.
I can hardly believe it.

I could see if I'm available.

# Lift up your voice
and with us sing

# Alleluia

# Alleluia

♪ Thou burning sun
with golden beam. ♪

Bye, Sarah. See you on Sunday.

Practice makes perfect.
How did that sound, Reverend?

I'm at a loss, Barnaby.

I'm sorry to hear that. I thought
the harmonies worked rather well.

He's not talking about the music.
Are you, Reverend?

When the Mottersheads first arrived,
I was under the impression

that you felt no good could
come from a zoo in Upton.

With respect,
I never said that, Reverend.

You should be careful.
In your position. Both of you.

What does that mean?

You wouldn't want people
losing faith,

not in two pillars of the community.

It would be so hard to remain
in Upton if they did.

I say this for your own good.

Look, I have to deliver this
to the council this afternoon,

with your signatures on it. These
are your patients, your pupils.

It's their safety.

Stand up for it and stop
the planning permission at Oakfield.

They've seen better days.
They're George's best pair.

I'm hoping the cobbler
can sort them out.

You will come, I hope?

To the benefit. It's to raise
funds but there'll be music.

Come and have a dance.
Lizzie, I'm not sure I can.

I know you're supposed
to be impartial, but...

I'd love it if you came.

Please. I'm terrified
of half the guest list.

How can I possibly refuse?

Oh, are you all right?

I'm fine. It's nothing.

In fact, you wouldn't believe me
if I told you. Try me.

I was attacked by a bear.

Splendid!

Are you sure you won't join us?

I'm positive.

Here, what do you think of this?

Don't talk to me, not now!

"When it eats, the pelican squeezes
water out the side of its bill,

"moves the food until it's head-down
in its throat, and swallows".

Delightful!

Yeah, well, it's my sales pitch.

I've got one for the penguin
'an all.

"Ladies and gentlemen,
believe it or not

"this little fella can hold his
breath for up to 20 minutes."

I'd like you to try that.

Guests will be arriving soon. We
need to get this stuff over there.

These need to be perfect.

We can't afford
for anything to go wrong.

Don't you dare!

Ladies and gentlemen, it's
my honour... Proud, I'm proud...

to introduce my family...

Are they all here?

Good. Now I want them
playing classy stuff all night.

Make sure you tell them that.
I can't.

Why?
They only speak Prague.

You mean Czech?
I mean, it ain't English.

I'll write them a list.
It'll be fine.

Look at you!

Blimey! I'm not early, then?

Perfect timing. Come with me.

Best to take it slow.

Get used to moving around
with the glasses empty first,

because I won't be able to help you
if there's a blunder in service.

Service?

You mean...?
It's chapter three.

"If an inexperienced servant
blunders,

"you should pretend not to notice.

"Never attract anyone's attention
to anything unsightly".

That's good to know.

Excuse me. I'm late and I'm looking
for Billy Atkinson. Is he around?

Depends who's asking.
Agnes Franklin.

Well, he's around here
somewhere,

but I'm warning you,
he doesn't do interviews.

Excuse me? For the press.

He's saving it all for his memoirs.

Is that right? Well, luckily
for him, I'm not from the papers.

Oh, that's a shame, because if you
could have got him to open up,

he's a hell of an exclusive.

Raconteur. Bon viveur. His latest
move is into women's fashion.

Will you hurry up
with those glasses, Billy?

To be continued?
You wish.

Get a load of you!

George!

Here we go!

Calm down.

Sorry, Katherine, I didn't...

It's all right. What's wrong?

These are your people, Katherine,
they're not mine.

We need £300 from tonight.
What if no-one bids?

They're only here
because you've intrigued them.

Now show them what's in your head.

They've never seen anything like it,
I guarantee.

I wish you were down there,

Katherine. I think we need
all the help we can get.

Milady. Good evening.

Smells fine to me.

You look exquisite, my dear.

Would you like a drink?
Am I the first to arrive?

Oh, thank you.

Everything to your liking, milady?

Most impressive. So far.

Shall we? Lovely.

Upton 1511.

Thank you, Ronald, that's, uh...
That's good news.

Ladies and gentlemen,
may I introduce Pelly?

There you are, Percy, darling!

Milady?
Oh, how kind!

Now, let me tell you
who all the big beasts are.

There's Lord and Lady Evans.
Oil money.

Lord Davenport, he makes motorcars.

And then there's Lady Hughes.

Real estate.
Definitely the biggest fish of all.

Get her bidding and the rest will
fall into line. Happy hunting.

Right, June, I need you.

You like that? It's rolled gold.

Now, you gentlemen are discerning,
but most people don't know

their arse from their elbow
when it comes to jewellery.

Ergo, it makes it an ideal gift
for clients or... members of staff.

Oh, Frankie, let's get
a quick photograph, would you?

Mother never meets baby,
that's the strange thing.

She'll lay her eggs underground
and she'll leave them.

So when they're hatched,
they're on their own.

Now, we are the only family
that Queenie's ever had.

Now, if you follow me over here...

Now...

That's empty. That's empty.

June is going to carry on
without me.

I shall be back, excuse me.

So, tell me, my dear,
what's it like living in a zoo?

Charitable donations, non-taxable.

Chester Zoo is certainly
a worthy cause.

It's a pioneering way of dealing
with animals in captivity.

Excuse me one moment.

How do you lose a ten-foot python?

You're going to have
to find him, Billy. Why me?!

Because we're doing the auction

and if one of these finds a snake
round their neck, we're done for.

Leave it with us.

He's big. Big teeth, big claws.

And there's no way
of stopping him, either.

June, what are you talking about?

I'm only telling people about Adam.

Dad had to have stitches, you see.

Oh, no, a child's imagination.
Come on, you.

June, what are you doing
telling people about that?

Tonight of all nights!
Now, listen, you need to buck up.

Everything is riding on this.

I'm sorry.

If you can't talk
about the zoo in a good way,

then I think it's better
you don't say anything at all.

Now, help me find this python,
how about that?

No.

I just want to let you know,
nothing's going to

happen between us tonight, OK?
Is that right?

You know, in that dress,
you could almost pass for a lady.

And you're not bad looking
when you keep your mouth shut.

Excuse me.

Lady Hughes, may I introduce
Lady Katherine Longmore?

A pleasure. I did wonder
if we might see Lord Ainslie?

Oh, he's abroad, I'm afraid.
He travels quite extensively.

You must miss him awfully.

I'm his niece. Not his wife.

Then your husband is...?

Yet to be revealed to me.

I see. Well, if you'll excuse me.

That's fig and Stilton, milady.

You must give me
the name of your caterers.

Oh, that would be my name, milady.

You catered your own event?!

The shell is actually bone.

60 different bones all connected
up together, as a matter of fact.

You seem to have them
in the palm of your hand.

Oh, I'm so glad you came. You
haven't seen the Fords, I suppose?

I invited them too. I'm so nervous.

Lizzie.

Mrs Mottershead.
Oh, that sounds serious.

There's something that I feel...
Dad wants to start the auction

but June won't do the slides.
You'll have to do it.

Go on, I'll be right there.

Sorry, Reverend,
what were you saying?

This whole event...
Look, I know that it is important.

But it's just... I just...

I wonder if it wouldn't be better...
Do you mind, Reverend? I'm sorry.

I should really...
No, no, of course.

I'll be right back.

They still haven't found the python.

Well, we can't delay
the auction any longer,

everyone will start going home.

Good evening.

Um... Oh, does everybody
have their paddles...

For the, um...
Very good. Thank you. Well...

Thank you for coming here this
evening. Thank you to Lady Katherine

for generously providing Selborne
Hall for this event this evening.

Right, good, on we go. Lights!

Now, then, our zoo. It's all
about the animals, of course.

Um... It's about protecting them
and it's about caring for them.

Some of these slides
are aspirations.

We don't have a lion
or an elephant. Not yet.

But we will.

We are working hard to create
a zoo without bars.

Wrong slide, Mew.

Mew?

Right, thank you.

Let me start by bringing on to
the stage two of our friends.

Now, let us start bidding

on the naming rights
to our penguin enclosure.

Who'll start me off?

Who'll start me off? £5, anyone?

£5?

£20.

We have our first bid!

Thank you very much, £20.

Any advance on 20?

25? 25, thank you, madam.

25, 30. Any more?

£35. £35.

£35 it is, going once, going twice.

Sold to you, madam. £35.
Thank you very much indeed.

Next, we have Pelly, our pelican.

Named by my daughter, June.

She names all the animals,
wherever she is.

Now, who'll start me off to bid
to sponsor this wonderful bird?

£5 am I bid?
£5 anyone?

£10. £10, thank you,
madam. £10.

Any more on ten, please? Anywhere?

15. 15! Thank you.

20. 20. Thank you, madam,
20 it is. 25!

25, thank you very much.

Any advance on...? Um...

Like I said, let us... Um...
Shall we continue? Thank you.

I apologise. Completely my fault.

Like I say,
£5 to sponsor this bird.

£5. Thank you very much, sir.
£5 it is.

10. £10, thank you, madam.
£10. Any advance on £10?

15. £15.
So, then, here we are.

You shouldn't being doing that.

You'll only cut yourself.

20! £20.

Sold for £20,
thank you very much indeed!

Thank you, Katherine,
for starting the bidding.

Skulking away? That's
about your style, I suppose.

Whatever are they saying?

You've heard of Freddie Rampton?
Took his whole family to Kenya.

Abandoned them out there,
two children. A wife.

All for another woman.

It wasn't like that...
His wife is my cousin.

She told me all about you.

Your kind are little better
than whores.

That's enough.

Your entire family is passing
itself off as something it's not.

I mean, do you even have the
faintest idea who you're talking to?

Well, whoever you are,
you're leaving.

£3.10, thank you very much.

£3.10, then. What about you,
sir, at the back?

£3, 10 shilling. 4? 4?

£4, 10 shilling, madam.

Here!

£4, 10 shilling. Thank you very much
madam. Anymore on £4, 10 shilling?

Five, sir?

Yes? Five. Thank you
very much indeed.

Grandad. What?

£5, 10 shilling. Thank you
very much, madam. £6, sir?

£6, there we have it. £6.

We've got to get him out quickly,
before anybody sees.

Continue, can we? 10, thank you,
madam. 10, do I hear any more?

I can't reach him, but we have
to get him out for your dad.

I know you're scared, love,
but I'm right here.

£15. 20! 20! £20.

Sold. Now...

..here is our final lot
of the evening.

Now, then...

Who will offer me £2
to adopt this indomitable creature?

Archie!

One last challenge.

Well?

It beats goat's milk!

I've just made a fool of myself.
And of this family.

Er, milady?

She's the brains behind
the whole thing, of course.

My wife.

You've never met a better cook
in your life, milady.

Everything you ate tonight,
it was all her.

I know. Delicious.

And might I also
apologise for Lady Hughes?

Breeding and class -
two very different things.

Reverend? What are you doing here?

Your wife invited me.

Of course she did,
she's got a big heart...

and you've got her fooled,
like everyone else.

But not me.

I really don't know
what you're talking about.

Must be galling for you.

Seeing these people...
ready to give up their money

for what my family has built.

Go on, admit it.
It's just me and you.

You cannot bear to see a man like me

living in a place
like Oakfield, can you?

My responsibility as parish priest...
I've known men like you

my whole life - hiding,
behind one uniform or another.

You know I was going to let you
have this moment.

What are you talking about?
You'll get a letter in the morning.

Public opposition
was just too great, I'm afraid.

Permission for Chester Zoo
has been denied.

Thanks.

£320!

Say again?

£320 in pledges!
George! We've done it!

Go on, Dad, get everyone home.
Get the kettle on.

I'll finish up here.
Frankie, do you want a lift?

No, I could do with a walk home.

You know, it occurs to me...

Don't lay another line on me.

Just open the door, quick,
before I change my mind.

So how much money did you make?
Everything that we need.

But we can't use
a penny of it because...

..we didn't get
planning permission.

Oh, George, I'm so sorry.

This whole village has been
against us from the start.

It was a magnificent night.

They did you proud.

Lizzie, Mew, the whole family.

This doesn't change any of that.

How am I supposed to tell them?

She said my vol-au-vents
were the best she'd had

since she'd been at The Dorchester.

Do your posh voice again, go on!

You'd better watch it if you don't
want to sleep in the stable.

Love, what is it?

They're not letting us build it.

I've just heard.

I'm so sorry.

You have been working
alongside elements in Upton,

a coordinated campaign
against my family.

By the time you've figured out

how to keep the zoo open, you
won't have any animals left.

I'm trying to hold on to everything.

I'm here to tell you
the truth about our zoo.

I defended you to George.

I think we should stay out
of each other's way from now on.

This petition... whose idea was it?

You're really willing
to lie about my family?

If that's what it takes.
We need to take a trip to London.

Dear chaps, Arthur's a deputy
minister, an officer of the state,

he couldn't possibly
see you himself.
