All language subtitles for Monarch Of The Glen s04e02.eng

- Do you want a lift?
- Yeah, thanks.

I'm Duncan.
I work with wolves.

- What's your name?
- Esme.

As in
"is my tea ready?"

No, as in the old
french word for love.

Right.

Thanks.

Oh, very smart.

This could do
with a dusting.

- Not my job.
- It is your job. I should know.

The wolf center opens
the day after tomorrow.

Either I run the catering
business or I polish tables.

If you want me to do both,
I'll need help.

What do you want me to do,
wave my magic wand?

- Duncan: Lexie!
- What?

Got any jobs going?

Hi, I'm Esme.

( theme music playing )

( door closes )

Oh, what's this,
a wedding present?

Uh, no, no.

It's for my presentation
to Wildlife Scotland.

The visitors' center
and the wolf pen-

with wolves,

the wildlife trails-

this must have cost
a fair wee bit.

If it helps persuade them to give
us the grant, it's money well-spent.

You know what's wrong
with it, don't you?

There's no visitors.

( scoffs )
There will be.

( knocking )

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, is everything
ready for the move?

Ready when you are.

Lexie and I discussed it
again yesterday

and we're going to have
to go ahead with this.

If we're going into holiday
homes then we're going need

the crofts with a view of the loch
- Duncan's and yours.

Archie, you're throwing me out of
my house, can we just get on with it?

- If there was any other way.
- You've made your decision.

You're the laird.

Don't-
Archie, watch it!

Let's hope
it's not an omen.

It's her or me.

I had no idea it was
going to be Isobel Hogg

assessing us for the grant
until they phoned just now.

- will you just listen?
- No!

Not if it has anything to do
with that ghastly woman.

You chose her
to be my godmother.

That was your father's idea.
Need I say more?

Mother, please.

You know that
she's an expert

on the survival
of rare species.

She made her name studying
animals in their natural habitat.

I feel very sorry
for the animals.

She's on the board of Wildlife
Scotland. They could give us a grant

that would completely cover
the cost of the wolf center.

- it's a huge amount of money.
- It depends on Isobel?

- That's what I'm trying to tell you.
- Then you won't need me.

- I'm going to Kilwillie's.
- Mother, I can't risk offending her.

She'll think of something. She'll go out
of her way to make life difficult for you.

She's not the only person
round here trying to do that.

Here, I'll take that.

Thanks.

Oh, I'm okay.
You know, I'll manage.

Excuse me.

Who's that?

Esme.
The new cleaner.

- Thanks for letting me know.
- Like you told me about Irene.

Look, I thought with the
opening, and visiting professors

and all this moving house
stuff on your plate...

go on inside
and see Golly.

You all ready?

Archie, I've lived
25 years in this house.

I'm sorting something else out for you.

It could be a lot
better than this place.

Very kind of you.

But that doesn't change the way I feel
about what you've done to this estate.

You can't buy
my approval.

I'm not trying to do that.
We can't afford to stand still.

Standing still is
one thing, son.

Running before you can walk
is quite another.

Archie: I used to come
up here when I was little.

You know, just to get
away from the house.

Golly was always
here to talk to.

He was the one
sane person in my life.

And now he's telling me
that I'm getting it all wrong.

And what about me?

Don't I count as sane?

Borderline.

I'm sorry I didn't
tell you about Esme.

Mmm. It's not a great time
to be taking on extra staff.

She does know that
it's not permanent, yeah?

Yeah, she's just a student. She
just wanted a job for the holidays.

But if you're worried about
money, it's not a problem.

I'm paying her keep and I'm
giving her cash in hand.

Are you sure she's a student?
She's very young.

What, to someone
as old as you?

Did you ask
for references?

- Archie!
- okay, I'm sorry, sorry.

I'm sure it will be fine
once we get the center open.

I just feel like I'm
breaking a lot of eggs

to make this particular omelet.
I hope it's worth it.

It will be.

You know we're all
behind you, don't you?

- Mmm.
- We are.

Now, come on.

48 hours,
we've got a lot to do.

Plus, you've got
your fairy godmother.

Isobel?
She won't be a problem.

Man: 10 reps, go for it! Push it!

I can't!

I can't go on!

What's our target?

- I've told you.
- I want to hear it again.

To become
a little trimmer.

- To lose two stone.
- Yes.

And why do we need
to do this?

I can't see
the point of this.

Motivation, that's the point.
You're doing this for a reason.

- What is it?
- There's a lady of my acquaintance

who mentioned to me
that she could never

be attracted to someone
who was portly.

Okay, let's do
some mat work.

On your
hands and knees!

( knocking )

- Kilwillie?
- She can't find you here!

- Kilwillie?
- The fitness suite, you, it's supposed to be a secret!

- That was a condition of your employment.
- I won't say a word.

- Shhh, jump out that way, quick.
- I'll take a shower.

She'll hear you.

Kilwillie: Molly!

What a surprise.

Are you
quite all right?

Oh, never better.
I...

I have just
got out of bed.

I thought I heard
someone with you.

No, definitely not.

I left the shampoo
in my room.

Who's he?

Gavin.

Gavin?

My...
my friend.

- Is he staying with you?
- Yes.

A chap can get awfully lonely
in a big place like this.

It's wonderful
to have a companion.

Absolutely.

( door closes )

I don't know why Archie's
put you in together.

It's the only spare room with heating.

And anyway, he says it's only
going to be for a couple of nights.

It still
seems so unfair.

Archie's a man in a hurry.
I'm not sure fair comes into it.

What you lads need is
a good woman to look after you.

We've been looking.

I'm only
down the hall.

That's the third time
she's been in.

She fancies you.

Don't be daft.

( vacuum running )

Hi.

- ( vacuum turns off )
- You're making me feel guilty.

I used to just, you know,
hoover round the furniture.

You should
meet my mother, then.

Houseproud or what?
I must have got it from her.

You should meet mine. That's why I'm here
- running away from her.

Not you, too?

What happened?

I don't want
to talk about it.

I just couldn't
stay there, that's all.

Do you have any friends around
you could go to?

I had to get right away.

You'll be
all right here.

- Oh, I gave Archie my references.
- Your references?

He asked me.

Oh, did he?

Right, well, don't be
too hard on those carpets.

They're not used to it.

( vacuum sputters )

I thought you'd gone
to Kilwillie's.

I did, but I didn't
want to play gooseberry

so I ended up
going to the library.

Why the sudden interest
in those books?

Research. you know,
I sometimes feel

that I've lived rather
a sheltered life.

I mean, there's so much
to find out...

about how
the other half live.

You've lost me.

Never mind. I want to ask
you about Kilwillie.

- Have you ever wondered?
- Wondered what?

About him being
a man's man?

Mother, I really haven't got a
clue what you're talking about.

I'm pretty certain Kilwillie
is a friend of Dorothy's.

Dorothy his sister?

No, the other Dorothy.

Do I have
to spell it out?

He's batting
for the other side.

I mean all the clues are
there. He went to Cambridge-

like all those spies. His
marriage was a disaster

and now he's picked up
this petit ami.

Need I say more?

Mother, Kilwillie was
one of father's best friends.

No, dear, they played golf
together. That is quite different.

So, what's the nightlife
like in Glenbogle?

Oh, there's
loads going on.

There's a ceilidh in the
school hall nearly every month.

There was me thinking
the only bright lights

were the ones that went
red, amber and green.

- ( laughing )
- I shall await my invitation.

What are
you waiting for?

She'll be here
tomorrow, Duncan.

And the day after,
I daresay.

What happened to
the advert in the paper?

I took the money
in last week.

They said they'd
put it on page five.

Nope.
It's not here.

Oh, I don't
believe it.

Are you sure you've
got the right week?

Yes, the right week,
the right month,

the right year,
the right paper.

I think I could
manage all that.

You really don't
trust me, do you?

Of course I do.

And how are Esme's
references, eh?

Were they all
up to scratch?

They were okay
as far as I could see.

Just okay?

They're glowing actually.
If anything they're too good.

Amazing grades
in her highers.

I really can't understand
why she wants to work here.

That's a job for
thickies like me, eh?

Lexie, will you please
just give me a break?

This isn't about you.
There's just-

there's something
about Esme.

- What?
- I'm not sure.

You just don't
like her, do you?

The fact that it was me
that hired her, and not you.

- No.
- this morning,

I told Golly
that he had to trust you.

How can he?

How can any of us,
if you don't do the same to us?

It's not a question
of trust,

it's about getting things done.
The advertisement isn't there.

Okay, I'll call
the paper.

No.

I'll do it.

Who do you think?
Atomic Kitten or Gail Porter?

Aren't you just a wee bit
too old for pinups?

About time you moved on
to the real thing.

Aye, well, next time
Gail drops in at Glenbogle-

there are other women,
Duncan, proper women.

I quite like Esme.

What's stopping you?

Well,
I still prefer Gail.

Anyway,
there's an age gap.

And I work with her,
and that can be difficult.

- good night, Duncan.
- Oh, good night.

- Golly.
- Irene.

She can't keep
away from you.

- Maybe it's you she's after.
- ( laughs )

I tell you what though,
how about a double date-

me and Esme
and you and Irene?

I'm trying to read here.

( horn blares )

Archie: Isobel!

- Are you Archie?
- Yes.

I think I was in London the last time you were here
- about 10 when we last met.

MacDonald men
never have aged well.

- no problem my pitching up early?
- No, not at all.

I mean, I thought when you said
9:00, you meant 9:00 tonight, but-

I did, but I changed my mind. ( grunts )

This is for you.

Damn good thing
I knew my way here.

You won't get many visitors if
they can't find the ruddy place.

No. Well, it's good to see you, Isobel.

I've prepared a presentation
about our plans for the center.

Oh, plans, huh?
Plans are all very well,

but my brief is to see if this
thing actually works or not.

To be blunt, several of the
trustees think you haven't got

a cat in hell's chance of
attracting enough visitors.

But I shall be able
to judge that tomorrow.

- ( dog barks )
- Good morning, Isobel.

- How lovely to see you.
- Don't be silly, Molly,

you can't stand me. Hector
made that clear years ago.

( laughs ) I wouldn't put
it quite that strongly.

So, how are you enjoying
being a merry widow?

I beg your pardon?

I assume you've been
lining up the next victim.

Or maybe he was there

before Hector had
that odd accident.

( Archie clears throat )

- May I introduce my fiancee.
- Pleased to meet you, Isobel.

That's Professor Hogg
until you tie the knot.

You look remarkably
like that girl

who used to work
in the kitchen.

Well, that's
because I am.

Oh. Well, I suppose
it's traditional

for lairds of Glenbogle
to lose their heads

when it comes
to choosing a wife.

Archie's the exception
that proves the rule.

He's made
a wonderful choice.

May I show you
to your room?

- Esme: Hi.
- Hi.

- This one made a run for it.
- Thanks.

Is it true you feed
rabbits to the wolves?

Yep.
Archie couldn't

find any wolves
that were vegetarian.

That's a joke. Their meat
comes frozen in plastic packs.

Sounds like you'd prefer
to feed them live rabbits.

I'd prefer not
to have them here at all.

- why?
- I'm a ghillie, not a zoo keeper.

Here.

You know about
animals, then?

A bit.

Working in a place like this you
can't get too sentimental about them.

I'm not.

It's just that sometimes
I prefer them to people.

Me, too.

Sometimes.

So, how're you
settling in?

Okay.

- it has its advantages.
- You're closer to me?

What's wrong?

Golly. He's like
a fish out of water

that's sick as a parrot
and it's getting to me.

What about
an evening out?

- would that help?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, that's a great idea.
- Tonight?

- Yeah, I'll tell Golly.
- Why?

Well, he'll
need to know.

Won't he?

What are you
doing tonight?

You mean after I've thrown
your computer game in the loch?

Does that keep you awake?

No, you playing on it
keeps me awake.

Sorry. look,

how would you like
to go on a date?

Well, sharing a room
with you is one thing, son-

with Irene.
She sort of...

asked me
to ask you...

for a date.

Duncan, if I want
to ask Irene for a date

I'll talk to her myself.

- You can do that on the date, can't you?
- What?

I forgot
to ask her a time!

Duncan.

You're on-
the date tonight.

- where do you want to meet?
- Up to you.

- And Golly.
- Do you have to check everything with him?

No.

Why don't
we meet here.

- I'll be ready at 6:00.
- Great.

Oh!

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

Do you look
after the birds?

My reputation's
gone before me.

I mean the sea eagle.

Aye, I do.

Would you like to see her?

Oh yeah,
that'd be great.

How about tonight
after work?

I'll have to check
my diary.

But I think it'll
be all right.

Molly,
what a surprise.

- I just had to get out of the house.
- Why?

Archie's godmother. But
let's not talk about it.

I know your secret.

Mmm, you mean my gym?

I thought
his name was Gavin.

No, the gymnasium
where Gavin and I work out.

I'd rather not
know the details.

Oh, you can join us
if you like.

- I don't think so.
- Oh, come on, have a go!

- Made me feel like a new man.
- And that's where Gavin came in.

Got it in one.

- Archie: Hi.
- Hi.

- How'd you get in here?
- Lexie gave me her keys.

Do you not want
me to clean in here.

I've got a couple
of calls to make.

- So later maybe.
- Sure.

Molly: ohh!

This is
the pecs machine.

Like
in the song.

If you say so. Do you
want to try the runner?

Uh, no. Kilwillie, what
do you need this for?

There must be at least
40 miles of of private roads

on the estate and goodness
knows how many footpaths.

Good point. We could go out for a jog.

That would be fun. Do you
want to come, Kilwillie?

Jogging outside?!
Are you mad?

I'll tell you what, Lord K, you keep
going in here and we'll step out.

Let's put you up
to 90 revs.

2k and then the whole
circuit again.

What are you
talking about?

- ( beeps )
- Ohh!

Archie: Yes, but the
center's opening tomorrow

and I'm
expecting visitors.

No, next week's
too late.

Okay.
Thank you.

What is it?

Apparently it's my fault that
15 signs have been vandalized.

Have you checked
the petty cash?

Uh, yeah.

Does it balance?

No, actually.

There's �50 missing.
But that's probably me-

Esme was in here on her own
and the safe door was open.

She had a set
of keys.

Yeah, I gave her mine.

Lex, you gave her
the keys to the safe.

This is a girl
that we know nothing about.

- She turned up here out of
the blue- - yeah, like I did.

- It didn't make me a thief.
- This is not about you.

All right.
Okay, okay.

Let's go and ask then, or do you want to
go straight to the national crime squad?

( Lexie clears throat )
Esme...

there's some money
missing from the safe.

I'm sorry?

And the laird here thinks
that you took it.

- I didn't say that.
- Then why are we here?

You were in the office.
The safe door was open

and we're missing �50.

- The safe was open when I went in there.
- Archie: I don't think so.

See, I could have left it
open. I don't always check.

We're still
missing �50.

Well, it wasn't me.
You can check my room.

- Okay, I'm going to clear this up.
- No, there's no need.

We'll take
your word for it.

I'm sorry.

Molly: So, how did you meet Kilwillie?

He put an advertisement
in a magazine.

Oh, that is so brave.

Kilwillie: I was beginning
to think you'd been waylaid.

Oh, no, Gavin's been telling me all
about himself. Absolutely fascinating-

all that stuff
about being a footballer.

He's told me one
or two things about you, too.

- What a dark horse you are.
- Am I?

Positive black beauty.

Anyway, I think
it's lovely.

In fact, I think
I'm a little bit jealous.

I could probably lend him
to you for the odd day.

( chuckles )
I- lend him?

I don't see how that could work.
Anyway, what would Gavin think?

A beautiful lady like you?

I'd be delighted.

( laughs )

Why don't you come to supper tonight
- both of you?

- What, Gavin?
- of course!

Oh, we're ever so modern
at Glenbogle these days.

Oh, thank you.

Golly?

The wildlife trails
and the bike paths

already attract visitors
and we're hoping

that the interest generated
by the wolf center

will more than double this figure
within the first three months.

If we take the number of
visitors you have tomorrow,

that will be an accurate guide to how
many you'll have in three months time?

Well, tomorrow
might not be typical.

But tomorrow is the day
I'll be here.

I'd say if you've
done your job adequately

you should have visitors
rolling in.

There may be teething problems. I'm
sure you'll take that into account.

I hope you're not expecting any special
favors because I'm your godmother.

If we're going to pour
money into this wolf center,

I have to be certain
that it'll make a profit.

And that it will
be run competently.

It will be.

We'll see, won't we?

So you're off to see
Esme, are you?

Aye.

- Where are you going?
- Off to look at the sea eagle.

And then after that,
I don't know.

It may be a good idea
to think of somewhere

before you put the rest
of that perfume in your face.

Oh, okay.

Ooh.

- Hi.
- are you ready?

Me? yeah.

- Shall we go?
- Where?

- We're going out aren't we?
- Us?

That was the general idea.
So...?

But you're you...

and I'm- you know.

Am I being really stupid

or did we make
a date this morning?

Yes.
I mean-

I was really
looking forward to it.

Really?

Me too!

So, shall we go?

Just give me
two minutes.

Duncan: Golly!

- Have you seen Golly?
- No. are you ready?

Yeah
- oh, no. look, about the sea eagle, can it wait?

- I thought you said tonight.
- I know, but I've got an emergency.

Not a bad emergency-
a good emergency.

Irene:
Duncan, what are you doing?

Look, I'm sorry. I'll show you tomorrow
- and the capercaille. sorry.

Oh, and if you see Golly,
can you say-

no, if you see Golly,
don't say anything.

So, what do
you want to do?

I thought the idea was
you'd show me around.

Well, there's the-

there's the pub.

I've been to the pub.
Once was enough.

Okay, well,
there's the...

- cinema.
- There isn't a cinema.

That's where you're wrong.
It's just got here.

Tell me, how did this connection
with wildlife come about?

- It's all in my book.
- You've written a book?

I've written 14 books. My
autobiography, "Isobel Hogg-

a Remarkable Life," is one
of them. Molly has a copy.

I must get round
to reading it one day.

If you look in the index
under "Alaska,"

the first
expedition, 1959,

you'll find my groundbreaking
research on wolves,

fully dealt with that.

Fascinating.

Everything ready for the
great day tomorrow, Archie?

I thought it was,
but it seems

that somebody has been
trying to sabotage us.

Someone has
canceled our advertising

and vandalized our signs.

Who on earth
would do that?

- I wonder if Isobel might know.
- I beg your pardon.

- I know your secret.
- ( silverware clanks )

I saw the signs
in the back of your car.

Isobel: Molly, as usual you're talking

through the well-padded
seat of your chair.

I saw the
vandalized signs.

I collected them for Archie.
He knows all about them.

You had nothing to do with
damaging them in the first place?

- Mother!
- Would I have told Archie if I had?

Classic double bluff.

Classic tosh!

Or should I say
vintage Molly?

I'll take a coffee
in my room.

I have some Wildlife Scotland
work to catch up on.

Thank you, mother. That's made
sure we won't get the grant.

And in case
you're interested,

it wasn't Isobel
who vandalized the signs,

I think it was someone
much closer to home.

( knocking )

I was in your
workshop earlier.

I found a can
of spray-paint.

The same sort that's
been used on the road signs.

You think
I painted over them?

I didn't say that.

Certainly did think it
though, didn't you?

The thought had
crossed my mind.

You've been telling
anyone who'll listen

how much you disapprove
of the wolf center.

You're dead set
against everything

that I try to do
to change the estate.

Why not take it
one step further?

You know me
better than that.

I thought I did.

Look, Archie, you've evicted
me from my home. You've...

taken away a whole part
of the job I live for.

I've every reason
to be angry.

But I will stick by you

right or wrong.

And you made it pretty
clear that it's wrong.

This place has
to change, Golly,

whether you
like it or not.

If you go on at this rate you'll be the
only one here to see how it turns out.

Hector wouldn't
have done it like this.

I'm not my father.

Did you see how she reacted when
you said you knew her secret?

It was as if she'd been
kicked by a polo pony.

You think she does
have a secret?

Don't we all?

I wish I'd
asked Hector.

Molly, I have
a secret of my own.

- Gavin.
- I know.

It wasn't hard to guess.

I had my reason for taking
on a personal trainer.

'Cause Gavin wanted one? I
suppose he needs to keep fit.

No- Gavin is
my personal trainer.

I'm a little bit
embarrassed about it.

Gavin is your
personal trainer?

- Mmm.
- Oh- so you're not gay?

Well, I'm pretty merry
after that St. Emilion-

good grief!

Did you think
I was a nancy boy?

- No, no, no.
- That's outrageous!

I am 110% heterosexual!

I'm a great admirer
of the fairer sex

and of one delightful
member of it in particular.

If fact, Molly,

since we're talking
about secrets,

I have another one
concerning you and me.

Of course, it was
just like you and me.

I thought I knew
your secret,

but I got
the wrong secret.

I've done the same with Isobel.
The road signs weren't her secret.

It was something else. The
reason she keeps coming back here.

Yes, but we have
no idea what that is.

What were we
talking about? 1959.

That was the year I met Hector.
Isobel was in Alaska.

The funny thing is, Hector
would never talk about that time.

Well, then we're stymied.

There might be something
in Isobel's book.

Yes, but- Molly!

Oh.

( door opens )

Arch.

Come on.

Oh, I've got to go and check
the wolves before I go to bed.

- Keep the wolf from the door, eh?
- No, they don't have a door.

It's like a hole
in the ground.

Do you want a hand?

No, it's kind
of muddy up there.

I don't mind.
Where do they sleep?

In a den. Well, the mother
will be under the ground

with her cub just now. But
the really interesting thing is

the father wolf
goes out to eat

and then he comes back
to the burrow

and regurgitates the food
so that they can have some.

That's so romantic.

Is it?

You, me, moonlight, and
the smell of wolf vomit.

What more could
a girl want?

What are you
thinking about?

I forgot
to feed the rabbits.

Good night, Duncan.

Sorry, did I wake you?

Where have you been?

Out...
at my Auntie Liz's.

Emergency-
plumbing thing.

Right.

How was your evening?

( sighs )
I didn't have one.

Good morning, Isobel.
I hope you slept well.

No, I was up all night
sabotaging Archie's zoo.

Archie told me
I have to apologize to you.

I am very sorry.
And as my penance

I'm reading your book.

Here's Hector's bookmark.
Got all the way to...

page five.

- It's our first customer!
- You know what to do.

Oh, dear.

- What? It's still very early.
- And very empty.

Look, I know my mother
handled it badly,

but we have had a few problems
with the signs and the adverts.

They're starting
to arrive.

You haven't had
one single visitor.

There really isn't
much more to say.

What happened?

She wanted a garage.

( knocking )

Hello?

Esme, hi, could you give me a
hand down at the visitors' center?

- The girl that works there hasn't turned up.
- Yeah.

You're not leaving,
are you?

No, I'm just
tidying up.

There is something
I wanted to say.

I know since you've been here
everybody's been a wee bit on edge,

what with the opening
and everything else.

But, you know, it's not
always like this.

- it's quite good really.
- Yeah?

I mean,
it worked out for me.

I came here as the cook, and now
I'm going to be marrying the laird.

- Don't you get any ideas though, eh.
- As if.

Are you really
marrying Archie?

Yeah, yeah.

What, did you not know?

No... it's just
the way he treats you.

Maybe you're
used to it.

- Me and Archie get on just fine.
- Okay.

- What made you think that?
- Maybe it's just since I've been here.

Things have been different
since you've been here.

Look, I'll go to the visitors'
center. There's something I need to do.

How's it going?

We could squeeze in
one or two more.

Where's Isobel?

She's writing her report
for Wildlife Scotland.

Ah, so we've lost
the grant. great.

Well, at least
we have one customer.

Morning!

( muffled )
�5 each, please.

We also have
illustrated guides.

And maps of
the wildlife trails.

I beg your pardon?

- Sorry, are you a concession?
- A what?

Under 16?
An old age pe-

- unemployed.
- Molly: Duncan-

don't be so silly.
Kilwillie's my guest.

Kilwillie, I wonder if you could
help me with something in the house.

At your service.

( car engine starts )

Can I have a go
in the bouncy castle?

No, you stay here. I'll try
and drum up some business.

- Gavin and I have had a parting of the ways.
- Oh, no. why?

On mature reflection,
I came to see that a chap

can get all the exercise
he needs on the golf course.

Gavin was rather
surplus to requirements.

Mind you, if you ever need a
jogging partner, look no further.

You'll be at the top
of my list.

- What exactly are we doing?
- Digging up Hector's past.

I want to know exactly
what he and Isobel

were up to in 1959.

- That's rather a tall order, isn't it?
- Hector always kept a diary.

I think there must
be some clue

to Isobel's secret
somewhere here.

Ahh.

Ahh.

I don't know who told you that.
We most definitely are open today.

Well,
maybe another time.

Okay.

Somebody has phoned
all the schools

and told them
we're closed.

It's Esme.
I found these in her bag.

( gasps )

( grunts )

Oh!

( air hissing )

( clicking switch )

- It must be the generator.
- The electric fence.

Both:
The wolves!

( Esme grunting )

- Get away!
- No, I'm letting them out.

- I'll just have to shoot them.
- That'll look great in the papers.

- This place will never open.
- give me those!

Why are you doing this after
what Archie's done to you?

What are you
talking about?

- Being chucked out of your house.
- That's none of your business.

Why don't you
just leave, get a life?

I've got a life. You just
stand there and shut up!

Esme!

- Did any escape?
- only her.

- Can you get that patched up?
- yeah, no problem.

Esme!

Isobel, Kilwillie and I
have a question for you.

This isn't a good moment. This
powercutter's crashed my computer

and I've lost my whole
report for Wildlife Scotland.

It won't take a moment.
It's about your book.

- Which one?
- "Isobel Hogg: A Remarkable Life. "

We think it should be
"Isobel Hogg: A Remarkable Lie. "

Archie: Esme!

Isn't that your car?

Don't worry about
losing your car,

you're about to lose
your reputation.

Alaska, 1959,

the adventure that got you
in all the papers

and made you
so very famous-

you were all alone in the
frozen north for a whole year?

Except you weren't.
You were here!

Canoodling with Hector!
It's all here-

- in his diary.
- That doesn't prove a thing.

You also signed
the visitors' book.

Hector swore
he'd never tell.

He didn't,

but I might.

( screams )

- Come on.
- Get off me.

- Get off me!
- I'm on the same side as you are.

The whole wolf center
is about conservation.

- It's a zoo!
- It's a zoo with a point!

- Do you know anything about wolves?
- A lot more than you.

Then you'll know the red wolf was
completely extinct in the wild.

It needed protection in captivity
before it could get put back.

- That's what we're trying to do.
- I know about zoos.

They go on about how
they're into conservation,

but what they really do
is inflate their owner's egos.

- We're going to the police.
- Get off!

Come on.

Oh, look, you know what?
That's our first visitors.

- Ticket machine's not working.
- Kids get in free and they get an ice cream.

- You're kidding.
- The freezer's not working.

What else will we do
with 500 warm Magnums?

Boy:
I want some ice cream.

I don't like seeing them
caged up any more than you do.

One day maybe they'll be
free to walk the hills.

What we've got going here
is not perfect,

but it's a step in the right
direction, isn't it?

Maybe.

Why did you
pick on Glenbogle?

I read something Professor Hogg
wrote in the paper about it.

She said how you were
opening this zoo.

Did you really
run away from home

- or were you lying about that, too?
- No.

I had a row
with my dad.

I can never do
anything right.

Nothing's ever good enough,
you know?

I didn't steal that money.
I promise.

I don't care
about the money.

You hurt Lexie.
You let her down.

I'm sorry.

( kids chattering )

I hope you're
pleased with yourself.

- Did you call the police?
- Yeah, they're on their way.

Tell them
not to bother.

Go and get your bags. Duncan
will drive you to the station.

I don't understand.

Quick,
before I change my mind.

- What's going on?
- She's a kid. She made a mistake.

What about the money she
took? That's just thieving.

I'd like to give her
another chance.

That's what Glenbogle
did for you, isn't it?

- Yeah. - And maybe
she's a bit like me-

a bad case
of tunnel vision.

Don't blame yourself. You
were right about her all along.

Come here.

Archie MacDonald,

I'm glad that
I'm marrying you.

- Are you sure?
- Mmm... most days.

- ( chuckles )
- And you?

Oh, yes.

But you might want
to concentrate

on the for-richer-for-poorer
bit at the wedding vows.

Archie: Isobel?

Owing to the power cut I haven't
been able to complete my report.

But... I shall
be recommending

that you receive
your grant in full.

Well, I don't understand.

And I'm not about to explain.
I shall be leaving directly.

There's been a slight
problem with your car.

Then perhaps you'd
call me a taxi.

A word of advice...

don't take
anything for granted

until you get him
down the aisle.

- Who would like an ice cream?
- Kids: Me!

Come on then.

Was that a smile?

Getting on for one.

( sighs ) Look, Golly,
I owe you an apology.

What I said to you
yesterday was unfair.

I should
have known better.

And while we're at it, I should
have listened to Lexie, too.

But I've...
I've learned my lesson.

Oh- I've got
something for you.

I'm not going
to rent out your croft.

Once it's refurbished
it's yours.

You'll own it.

You need the money.

Yeah, but we'll
find it somewhere else.

We've got this grant
for a start.

Thank you.

You said something yesterday
about me trying to...

buy your approval.

Well, I'm not trying
to do that.

I need you to tell me
when I'm getting things wrong.

That's if
you'll listen.

I'll try.

I guess, in a way,
we're paying the price

of my father keeping
things the same for so long.

Maybe.

Then again, there's new
tricks in old dogs, son.

You're not old.

Well, not that old.

Day one, 55 visitors,
no revenue.

Yeah, but they all
had a nice time

and they'll tell
their mates.

And they'll all
expect free ice cream.

Look, last night,
you said something like,

"well, if I'm no use
at being a laird,

then I'll be no use
at being a husband. "

Well, I've been
thinking about that.

And I think
that being a laird

is a bit like
being a husband.

You can't do it
on your own.

But I'm with you.

Oh, not interrupting
anything, am I?

No, no, just a bit
of creative accounting.

Molly, they're lovely.
Who are they from?

Me, for you.
For your anniversary.

Well, we're not getting
married for another month.

Ah, the anniversary of the day
you arrived on our doorstep.

Mmm, all those
years ago.

Watch it, I can still
change my mind.

To think we nearly made
the same mistake twice.

- First Lexie, then Esme.
- Some people never learn.

Oh, by the way,
I took �50 from the safe.

- forgot to say.
- Did you close the door?

Sorry.
