Narrative:
Purely mechanical. Captain advised crew of situation, then informed passenger. We were advised that it was a hydraulic failure of one of the 4 hydraulic system. He said he would fly to use fuel and then land heavy. If an evacuate/evacuation was required, captain would use signal system and announce exits not to be used. We landed safely. Passenger and all crew fine.
