Shut up and do as you're told!

There's a bomb in the cellar! There's a bomb in the cellar!

So what's the verdict?

My father used to say this place is as solid as the rock of Gibraltar.

Oh, see?

Welcome to the Glenbogle Boutique Hotel.

We don't normally allow pets, but seeing as you're a special case, we'll turn a

blind eye, as long as they don't upset the other guests.

Are there any other guests?

No.

So this is the Balmoral room, pool, all three facilities next door.

It's lovely.

We'll take it.

Great. Well, if you'd just like to register.

Dunk, you know who we are.

Excellent. I'll be delighted to do that for you, all part of our express check

-in service.

So, enjoy your stay.

I'm sure we will.

Cheat up.

It's not that bad.

Sorry.

Forgot to ask what papers you'd like in the morning.

Duncan, this is Glenn Vogel. The papers don't arrive till lunchtime.

Yes, Archie?

Well, if you're that worried, why don't you come and see for yourself?

Anything I can't handle, I'll call you, OK?

Oh, golly.

Oh, you know, golly, always full of the joys of spring.

Well, I might be.

Phoning them every five minutes. I told you we should have checked into a proper

hotel. It wouldn't have been an hour's drive from the house. How am I supposed

to run the estate from here? There's nowhere to put anything. There's no

telephone line for the computer and Duncan's in and out like a fiddler's

Shampoo?

If you were thinking of washing your hair tonight.

Thank you.

Oh, Lifty's trying.

He's supposed to work on the estate.

Oh, he's letting Lifty here for free.

At least we can give him some time off.

If I'd known he was going to make a career out of it, I would never have

to it.

Duncan has always supported you.

Think about all the things he's done for Glenbogle.

Yes, he blew up the house.

That wasn't his fault.

It was his bomb.

Yeah, and think how bad he must feel about it.

Come on, Arch.

At least you've got your own shampoo.

Sorry. Conductor.

Oh!

We're looking for somebody to stay.

Ah, well, not really. Well, do you or do you not have vacancies?

Yes. Then we shall have a room.

Enough, I'm here.

Can you look after the dogs for a moment?

I'm just popping out.

For a walk.

Well, why don't you take the dogs with you?

It's not that kind of walk.

Won't be long.

She is up to something.

It could be something she's not telling us.

She's seeing Andrew.

Duh. Well, I knew they were friends, but I didn't think that... That she'd be

riding on his motorbike.

What are you doing?

I've got more guests.

Oh, really? I thought that being a baby was a special favour for us.

Petit Quetel. And yeah, it is a favour for you.

It's just I forgot to take down the vacancy sign.

And they're paying high season rates.

Have you never used tea bags before?

The new guests want real tea.

Made with tea leaves.

Shut up!

Hand pancakes.

It was always much easier when Auntie Liz made them.

Shall I?

Aye.

Thanks, actually.

Yeah, no, I wouldn't normally go to all this bother, but the new guy, do you

know who they are?

Henrietta McNabb and Margot McNally.

The famous food writers.

Never heard of them.

Anyway.

They're up here researching a new group called Cooking in the Highland.

Are those pancakes ready?

Oh, you made these yourself.

Oh, yes. All home cooking here. You might want to mention that in your book.

Oh, we focus on rather larger establishments. The great houses are...

Eat Like a Laird.

These houses in your book, they get loads of publicity, eh?

Obviously.

I know the very place.

It's called Glenbogle House.

We'll add it to our list.

It's empty just now. The family are having some repairs done.

Ah, that house, yes.

Ah, we should really have a look at it. Um, but if it's closed, well, never

mind.

Well, seeing as you're, I get, I might be able to get you into it.

I mean, I can't promise, can I? Well, if we don't see it, it won't go in the

book.

Oh, any time today would suit us. Oh, and, uh, we can do with some more

I'm sorry this all has to be so cloak and dagger.

Don't you think it would be better if you told Archie? No, he'd be mortified.

Well, it's not as if we're doing anything wrong.

I've been driving without a licence all these years. That's bad enough.

He'd be terribly upset if he thought I didn't want him to teach me.

Well, I don't know that I'm any better.

Oh, Andrew, you've been wonderful.

And I love your little car.

Take a quick look. Oh, this is so charming.

Oh, we will certainly want to see the rest of the house.

Ah, you said just the kitchen.

Oh, no, no, we will want to take photographs.

Of the whole house? We might even want to film here for our television

programmes. You mean it might be on the TV?

Of course.

Now, why don't you go and find the chef for us to talk to while we take a look

around?

You want a chef?

The food doesn't cook itself, does it? No.

I'm the chef.

Oh, I'm asked you managed to run this kitchen and your bed and breakfast.

But take a tell. There is a lot of running around to and fro.

I see.

And what's your favourite dish?

Good question.

This one.

With the wee flowers on.

Well, if you are the chef, maybe you could cook us some lunch.

Well, you're probably not that hungry yet, eh? We are.

Don't you cook us up a little amuse -gille while we take a look around.

Margot, camera.

Now, there is absolutely no need to rush. We'll be taking lots of snaps for

research. Good idea.

Bye. Bye.

He shouldn't be in here.

No. There's Archie now.

No.

And the house is probably falling down on our ears and our feet.

And it's the most stupid thing I've ever done. But if it works, I can pay Archie

and Lexi back for blowing it up in the first place. So, help me.

To do what?

Cook something.

Are you feeling any better?

Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout.

70 is quite fast for this kind of road.

Well, there's something about being with you. It just makes me want to drive

fast, you know.

Grab life with both hands.

Does that sound stupid?

Not at all.

I'm flattered.

You've done so much for me. Not just the driving, everything.

I had to get going.

I promise I won't drive too fast.

I call it Glenbogle noodles.

Who's your friend?

Golly, I'm his sous chef.

And what do you make of Duncan's cooking?

Um, once eaten, never forgotten.

So, did Glenbogle get in your book then?

No. Well, we have other houses to see or other meals to eat. We only select

the premium house from each region.

Oh, well, that's us then.

I mean, there's no place else around here worth seeing, is there?

Well, guess what? The chips are still warm.

Thank you.

Not that bad here.

No, I don't know how we managed all these years without a lacy cover for our

spare laundry paper.

Come on. I mean, it's warm and the plumbing's working and there's no

bombs in the cellar. It isn't even a cellar.

You want to go home just as much as I do.

Yeah, but I can still enjoy a few days where they walk to the toilet. It isn't

like a polar expedition.

And maybe you'll get a decent night's sleep here.

No, you haven't been sleeping well, have you?

I'm fine.

Okay.

Fine. Don't tell me.

So, what are your plans for the rest of the afternoon?

Um, I've got to go to the shops.

And then I'm going to go back to the house and get that claim form.

Oh, well, I'll do that. Duncan can drive me. No, you'll be staying here and

writing that book.

It's Andrew and Molly.

She's made him stop down the road.

He's getting silly.

I'm going to go and talk to her.

Archie, no, I don't think that... Look, not now.

How's Andrew?

Andrew? Yeah, you're on the back of his motorbike.

Oh!

He's, um, he's very well, thank you.

Um, I don't really know how to say this.

Um, but I do realise that in time you might want to see other people.

Men, I mean.

As friends or whatever.

And Lexi and I, we understand that. I mean, we can't expect you to be a sort

grey fries bobby for father, can we?

Sitting, pining for him.

Eustace does a pretty good job of that already, but... This is very kind of

Archie, but I hadn't really thought I needed your permission.

That went well.

I heard the news about Glenn Bogle.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining.

I've been decluttering Lord Kilwilly's wardrobes and Archie probably needs

clothes. You could be able to get them.

Thanks very much. Things must be grim at Glenbogle.

No. We've just heard some great news, actually.

We're going to be in a book.

Henrietta McNabb and Margot McNally.

The famous food writers.

Of course, how wonderful.

They're writing a book about the great houses of the Highlands. There are

traditional recipes and all that sort of stuff.

I'm Lady Dorothy Trumpington Barnett, Chatelaine of Kilwillie Castle.

You must visit.

I'd be delighted.

No, you've got your house for the region.

And for coffee tomorrow.

Then Bogle may have a certain quirky chart.

But Kilwilley Castle has undisputed class.

No, the current... Be delighted.

Hello?

Hello?

Excuse me?

He's been driving me mad all day. There's not a square inch of carpet out

that he hasn't hoovered at least twice already this afternoon.

Not sure that's a get -done -back -to -do -his -real -job, then.

Well, we'll be up and about in a couple of days.

Well, if you're not, there is no plan B, is there?

Well, there's not much of a plan A.

We've had a bad luck we've been having. It's pretty difficult to plan anything.

Well, I would have said we've had a streak of good luck lately.

What would have happened if you'd have been killed in that explosion?

Wild celebrations in the streets of Glenbogel? You're being serious, aren't

OK, I'll get the message.

Right.

That's not why I'm here. Lexie says you needed a lift to the pub.

Do I?

She wants us all there. She's got a surprise for us.

I don't understand this. All day long you tell me I have to rest and all of a

sudden I have to come here.

I've got a surprise for you.

This is a very bad idea. I'd like to go home now, please.

The karaoke is not a surprise.

What's going on?

Ranger.

Paul.

Archie. Well, I'll have to kill the fatty calf and give you a proper

welcome.

You'll find that some of our old Highland customs involve violence and

lifestyles.

Well, where have you been? You should have phoned.

No, I'm sorry.

Look, I know this is a bit of a cheat, but I was hoping to come and

stay up here.

How long are you on leave for?

I'm not.

I've left the army.

You've left?

Yeah, about a week ago.

I, uh... Okay, here we go.

I'd like to come and live up here.

Hold on a minute. Come and live with us?

If you'll have me.

You all right?

Where's my whiskey?

I'll stay in the campervan just until I get myself sorted out.

And what are you going to do about work?

Well, I did have one or two ideas, actually. Which we can discuss tomorrow.

We're supposed to be celebrating tonight.

So, who's up for a jet?

Archie. Archie doesn't do karaoke.

That leaves me, then.

Yeah,

and me.

Paul.

You can give me a hand while you're laid up.

Well, it's not a visit. I think he wants to live with us.

Mother, I can't turn him away. He's my brother.

It's, um, intriguing.

Paul showing up like this.

I don't want to talk about it.

Yes, you do.

You've never seen me this upset.

I don't want him to live with us.

I know Hector was unfaithful, but I don't want to be reminded of it over the

cornflakes every morning.

It's not fair on you at all.

It puts Archie in a difficult position, too.

I thought you'd be on my side.

I am.

Not for long, I hope.

Good night, Monty.

There's always a spare bed at my place, you know.

Continental or full Scottish.

It's just you didn't order your breakfast.

I'll make you two.

I need to know before I defrost the smoke haze.

This is silly.

What's wrong?

My foot.

Come on.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I was just thinking about Paul as well.

You're pleased to see him, aren't you?

Yeah.

It's just a bit sudden, him turning up like this.

We are his family.

Hmm. But he hardly knows us.

To be perfectly honest, we're almost complete strangers.

I just hope he's not expecting too much.

Well, he's expecting to live with us.

I don't think my mother likes the idea of that very much.

It can't be easy for her.

Just give her a bit of time, she'll come round.

Hmm.

Good morning.

Morning.

Is this the best view in the world, or what?

I don't know a better one.

Let's see, campsite get you as much?

No, you know, a few people up here in the summer.

You don't need to worry about your privacy, just you.

Have you got a couple of minutes?

I could do with some advice.

Sure. I could do with some breakfast.

Take a seat.

Ah, done.

Any chances in terms? In a minute.

The fool, Glenn Bogle.

So, did you have a good evening?

Oh, we went to visit friends.

We were in rather late. I hope we didn't disturb you.

Oh, no, not at all. I had my headphones on listening to my music, my Nigella

tapes.

Who are you? The door was open and unattended.

Lady Dorothy instructed me to deliver this array of condiments.

Kawili Castle Spring Water, brightly sparkling.

Extra Jam, Loganbury Conserve, Crouse, Pheasant and Truffle

Party. Oh, and she's expecting you for morning coffee.

Enjoy.

Ten ordnance, please, Duncan.

How did I do?

Walked the curb from here, I think.

Be honest. Have I any chance of passing my test?

Well, I think I know you well enough to say you usually get what you want.

I wish that was true.

Anyway, thank you for my lesson. You can keep the keys.

Why? I want you to have the car.

Good luck present with the test.

I couldn't possibly.

Of course you can't.

I can't.

Andrew, you've already been such a kind friend.

Molly, we're more than just friends. You know that as well as I do.

And what I said last night about the spare room, I mean it.

If living in the same house as Paul is going to be a problem, you don't have

Come and share my house with me.

I couldn't possibly.

Why not?

Because I don't want to.

It's probably my fault. I've given the wrong impression.

I mean, I obviously have.

Well, no, it's me.

I thought you wanted to change, a new direction.

Perhaps not.

I do.

Well, you hate the idea of Paul moving into Glenbogle.

You've turned down my offer.

For the same reason. I don't like being bullied or taken for granted.

I... I think it would be best if we didn't see each other anymore.

Why? I'm sorry.

So...

What is it? I'm supposed to be checking.

Well, you know the pipes that run down by the back stairs?

Golly, I thought there might be a leak. I'll go if you like. No, no, no. You

just do me.

Morning.

All right. How was your night?

That campsite is unbelievable.

Yeah, I know. I've heard it all before. It's boggy. It's full of midges. I'll

probably close it down at the end of the summer. No, it's unbelievably good.

Look, I've got something for you.

That's how I'm going to pay my way.

I did the full mountain training course when I was in the army, and I worked as

an instructor, too.

You got the mountains, I got the qualifications.

Together, we got a climbing school.

Look, I don't want to be negative about this, but we did some research into

climbing courses. We weren't that convinced. Listen, I've roughed out a

you'll have a look.

I mean, the campsite's perfect. I've talked it all through with Golly.

We could use that as the base camp.

and shuffle the climbers up to the rock face in four by fours.

Soon as you talk about any sort of adventure activity, you open a whole can

worms with health and safety, not to mention insurance.

Well, the army are very hot on safety, but obviously I'll do the relevant

course.

It's not just that.

It's the money to set it up. It's not exactly good timing.

Archie,

there's been a break -in.

What? They've taken all the silver, all of Molly's ornaments.

I can't believe it.

Shall I call the police?

I just did.

Anything else I can do?

OK, we can manage.

Let's talk about this later, all right? Yeah, sure. I'll be with Golly.

He must have got in in the night. He meant to put the whole house to

Let's see what else we're missing.

Not fair.

I know.

I'll wait with you.

You probably won't want to stay that long.

I mean, after all, it's not exactly what you'd call a great house. What of a big

bungalow, albeit with a few turrets?

Welcome to Kilwinnie Castle.

Bollinger or Murray.

Thank you so much.

It really doesn't matter.

Thank you.

Goodbye,

Duncan.

Burglary.

It's a terrible crime, Mr MacDonald.

You wouldn't believe the amount of paperwork involved, you know.

You don't know who might have done it.

Well, judging by what they've taken, somebody with a taste for antique

Well, that narrows it down a wee bit.

Next question.

Has anyone, apart from the family, been inside the house?

Well, there's Paul.

He's family.

Oh.

I thought there was just you and...

Mrs. Macdonald and the other Mrs. Macdonald.

And the dogs, of course.

Though, obviously, we don't treat them as suspects.

My half -brother, Paul Berman, he's visiting us.

And does he have an interest in antique silver?

He wants to come and live in the house. I very much doubt that he'd steal from

it, but why don't you ask him?

I'll do that.

Oh, when did you decide to leave the army?

Pretty much as soon as I got back there.

I thought you'd three more years.

Four. I had to buy myself health.

And that business about being absent without leave, you sorted that out, did

you?

Water under the bridge.

Well, when it came down to it, the army and I, we'd had enough of each other.

So you come up with this claiming school plan and just stayed it on straight up

here. Yeah, pretty much.

Oh, it's not completely out of the blue.

I always loved the mountains and couldn't think of a better place to do

It's a brave move.

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose so.

We're going to need a saw for this.

Well, I've got one back in the workshop.

I'll get it.

I've made a list of all the things that I think have been stolen, but maybe I

should check it.

It's gone, it's gone.

It's just been one thing after another, hasn't it?

We will get through this.

At least we don't have to clean the silver anymore.

It's not the silver.

It's Andrew. I told him I didn't want to see him anymore.

For the first time in years, I've had someone to talk to.

Hector was lovely, but he didn't know a Titian from a Theon.

Andrew does.

He knows all about Titians and Theons.

Oh, what am I going to do?

Why have you told him you can't see him anymore?

He's been giving me presents. He's asked me to live with him. He's kissed me.

Well, at least I kissed him, too.

Oh, it's all so complicated.

It's not.

And Andrew?

Come on. He could do a lot worse.

I would grab him while you have the chance.

You mean my last chance?

I didn't say that.

I suppose Paul coming back doesn't help.

No matter what I do, seeing him upsets me.

I know it doesn't make any sense.

And I'm probably being very selfish, but... For the best part of

40 years, I've put other people first.

Isn't it my turn now?

Archie!

Doing the weekly shopping?

No, there's only one fax machine in the village. It's all part of trying to run

an estate from a bedroom with no telephone line.

If there's anything I can do to help.

No, thanks very much. We should be back in the estate office before long.

And you've got your brother to help you now.

Yeah, but he won't be involved in running the estate.

Oh, I would have thought he'd want to be.

Ambitious young man like that, I'm sure he'd relish the chance.

Have you been talking to my mother about this?

Yes.

Have you thought what's in it for him?

What he's after?

Well, he told me that he wants me to help him set up a climbing school.

In other words, he needs money.

His inheritance?

He could have a claim, you know.

Maybe I'm just an old cynic, but I'd be careful, Archie.

Hi. Want some lunch?

No, I've got to talk to my mother first.

I don't think now's a good time to talk.

Yes, it is. I shall be out for the rest of the day. What have you been saying to

Andrew about Paul?

I really don't remember.

Well, he seems to have the idea that Paul is on some covert mission to take

the estate.

I didn't say that.

But anyway, it has absolutely nothing to do with Andrew.

Well, I agree.

But perhaps you should tell him that.

Maybe the next time you're on his motorbike.

Archie, the estate is your business. Its future has nothing to do with Andrew or

Paul. Paul is part of the family, Molly. He's not part of my family.

Anyway, I can't stop you inviting him as your guest. Feel free.

I should be perfectly happy living here. So it won't affect me.

You don't mean that.

I most certainly do.

Goldie? Goldie!

He's gone to feed the wolves. He'll be back soon.

I didn't get a chance to say hello properly the other night.

No.

Well, I'd better go and look for him.

I'll come with you. I haven't been up to the wolf pens yet. No, no, I'd rather

go on my own.

I thought we got past who I am and all that.

Yes, yes, yes, we did.

So? Why have you come back?

I had to go somewhere and... Well, I suppose I've sort of fallen in love with

the place.

Your being here is very difficult for me. I know it shouldn't be, but it is.

Can't explain why, it's just how I feel.

It's nothing to do with you personally.

I'm sorry.

Molly, how could I do for you?

I wonder if I could have a driving lesson.

You've been driving for years. But I've never had a license.

Andrew was teaching me, but it didn't work out. If you could possibly spare me

half an hour.

Of course, lass, it'll be a pleasure.

Paul's got everything under control here.

Couldn't find your brother, Mr. Macdonald?

Well, he must be out on the estate somewhere.

I dare say.

I tell you what, how about I ask you the questions I had for him?

This is from D .S. Worrell at HQ.

Was Paul Bowman in your house on his own at any time?

Yes.

I found him there yesterday.

But he's not a thief.

Well, I said that to the D .S., but the thing is... He found out that your

brother spent some time in a military prison.

We didn't know that.

But I don't believe that he would steal from us. Oh, I'm not accusing anyone,

but the DS, he likes his clear uprate, you know.

There is one other thing.

What has Mr Bowman been doing since he left the army?

We thought he came straight here.

No, he's been out for three months.

Well, then I've no idea.

If you don't mind me saying, there seems to be quite a lot about this brother of

yours that you don't know.

He's a real man of mystery, eh?

Okay, you're at a crossroads.

What are you doing here?

You're right. I am at a crossroads.

I need to look for some sort of sign.

Ah, that was some sort of sign.

It means give way.

How long have we got till your test?

Eighteen hours.

It's tomorrow morning.

Right.

I've taken a look at the camera part this lunchtime.

There's a great place to build an equipment store and shower block.

And how are we going to pay for all this?

I've come to make it pay for itself.

I just need some investment up front.

I don't expect to start building tomorrow, just as long as I can start

Oh, come on, Archie.

You have to admit, the climbing school fits in perfectly with the other schemes

you've got going.

And like our other ventures, it depends on the weather and attracting enough

visitors.

What happens if we have a bad summer?

Then I'll work harder through the autumn and winter.

It'll balance out.

It's not as easy as that, Paul.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to put my money into this.

There's nothing wrong with a business plan.

This is about something else, isn't it?

Like what?

You don't want me to live here.

All that stuff about me being a member of the family, welcome back here at any

time, that was just good manners.

You are welcome here.

I don't think so.

Molly's made that perfectly clear.

You could at least be honest about it.

All right, let's start being honest then, shall we?

You didn't stay in touch when you were away because you couldn't.

You were in prison.

For being absent without leave.

I did my time and that's all there is to it.

And it just slipped your mind.

It's none of your business.

Well, it is if you're living in my house.

Your house.

Well, you don't really want people like me.

Not really McDonald class.

You're just being stupid now.

Not so stupid I don't know my rights.

If you're threatening me with lawyers, forget it.

Oh, what's going on here?

Paul is threatening to take us to court. I didn't say that.

Oh, fine.

See you.

Did he really say he was going to take us to court?

Well, no, not in so many words, but... What, until you jumped to conclusions

made matters worse?

No, I didn't. It's not my fault. No, and it's probably not all Paul's fault

either.

Oh, the two of you are just as bad as each other.

But that's part of what annoys you about him.

He reminds you of you.

Uh, sorry about the dog -related damage. I'll get it cleared up.

Um... Polishing up this old silver for you.

Free of charge.

Oh, there's no need to go to such trouble.

Just one or two things we got in a car boot sale. Nothing special.

Yeah, no.

Oh, we've loads of stuff like this up at the big house.

Um, we've been thinking about our book, Duncan.

And Kill Willie Castle is certainly very impressive, but it has none of the

charm of Glenbogle.

You mean you're going to put Glenbogle...

In your boot.

Shh. Plough secret.

Hi,

hi. You going somewhere?

Home.

Where's that?

I hope that you're not here.

It's good seeing you again.

You too.

Actually, I was going to be asking you for a wee favour.

I'm planning to put a guard on the house tonight in case the thieves come back.

Just looking for a wee bit of company.

Well, listen, I understand if you want to just get on your way.

No.

Not a lot to say.

Good.

So what are you going to do about Paul?

I don't know.

But if he really wants to take us to court, he'll soon find out how much

we've got.

And we've got the family's silver left.

It's not your fault that we were burgled.

Or that the bomb went off.

No, it doesn't help me being stuck here, though, does it?

You should go and talk to him before he goes.

No, it's better like this.

At least it solves the problem with my mother.

Yeah, that's the easy way out.

Well, she was right.

Paul wasn't being straight with us. He can't just turn up and expect us to

embrace his plans.

Remember when you first came back here and you were full of enthusiasm and new

ideas? Hector wouldn't let you change a thing?

Yeah, so?

Well, eventually, he gave you a chance.

And from what he says, he's come back to put something into the estate, not take

from it.

Well, if he wants to come back and talk reasonably, then...

Well, he's not going to do that.

Well, that's his problem.

It's our loss.

You'll just have to go to him.

He'll be gone in the morning.

Do you know where he is tonight?

How could I?

He's guarding our house.

Do you know what their McDonald's family motto is?

What? I'm going to do it my way and never mind what anyone else thinks.

You think that's what I've been doing? You and Archie.

Vector was just as bad, if not worse.

That's the McDonald's for you.

Brave, fearless and quite frequently shot at from all sides, mainly by the

nearest and dearest.

Yeah, I suppose I could have handled things a bit better.

Coming up here.

Not all the answers determine to get your own way. It's just not the way to

with Archie.

Well, I'll be out of here tomorrow morning anyway.

Ah, well.

I'll miss your company.

You'll be the only one.

Golly, I can't do this.

I say, can't you? You've been driving for years.

But my driving doesn't fit in at all with the driving test driving, and I'm

such a state. I mean, I nearly hit that wall by the shops.

Actually, no, you did hit it, but not that hard.

I'm useless at driving.

I've just woken the roads.

It's just a driving test.

It's hardly going to change your life.

That's just the point it is.

This... is my crossroad, where I find out whether I stay as the old stick -in

-the -mud Molly who never wants anything to change, ever, or I find another

road, a completely new direction. In that case, you have to be true to

Molly. You have to believe in yourself.

I wish I could.

Look at me.

Look me right in the eyes.

You are going to pass that test, Molly.

Okay?

This place has really gone downhill.

And where's my coffee?

Tell Lexie.

Henrietta and Margot.

Run off.

They haven't paid their bill.

Worse than that.

This is one of ours, Ben.

It was in their room.

There was a whole load of silver in their room.

I cleaned it all for them.

Oh, why didn't you try and stop them?

I've called the police.

They could be anywhere by now.

No.

No, hang on.

I know where they'll be.

They are not cookery writers.

They're thieves.

I understand you're upset that the best house is one.

They've taken all of our silver from the dining room.

Well, there's no accounting for taste. But I can assure you we take much better

care of our property.

What is it, Bertram? Lord Kilwilly, his military manor billiard.

Gone.

Excellent. Saves me having to get rid of it.

Your ladyship's wardrobe would also appear to have been tampered with.

Not my Versace.

in a bigger cargo, you're stuffing. But it's OK.

We could still catch them.

Badger, the car.

Dad?

Oh, hello, Mother.

Somebody left this for you. Oh, thank you.

You haven't seen Paul, have you? No.

I'm looking for him, too.

Really? Why?

I think he should stay.

What's changed?

My life.

I took my driving test this morning, and I realised that I had to make an

agreement with myself. If I fail, I'll go with what I've got. If I pass, I'll

try something new.

Ha! And I passed!

Congratulations.

So you bet your future on your driving test.

I wish I'd put money on it now.

I don't dislike Paul. In fact, I quite like him, but I don't much like change.

I'm like you.

We don't like having change thrust upon us.

No, we like it on our own terms.

We sulk, behave badly.

Why do you want to talk to Paul?

Because I have to.

Then we'd better get going.

How are we going to do that?

In my new car, of course.

Listen, I need to talk to you.

Talk? The only body killed me.

That was me. I've just passed my test.

Listen, if you're leaving, I don't want it to be like this.

No, you're right.

I'm sorry, I should have told you about what happened with the army.

Actually, it's not how it looks.

I've never been in trouble before. It was only because they came up here

for my... my father.

They imprisoned me for being an air wall.

I found this selling coach at the barracks wondering what happened to my

How I'd ended up in jail.

That was where I had the idea for the climbing school.

You're right, you should have told me.

I didn't want you to think badly of me.

Maybe I'm just kidding myself.

Everything I own is in the back of a camper van that won't see its next MOT.

Great addition to the family, me.

I'd like you to stay.

What would I do with...

The climbing school won't pay.

Well, maybe you can think about running some other things as well.

I could do that. I'd like to do that.

I want you to be part of them, Bobo.

Really?

Yeah.

You spent last night guarding my house.

I realize that this place must mean as much to you as it does to me.

So what do you say?

When do I start?

Archie!

Hey, look, Zippy's going to turn into one of those road rage thingamajigs.

Can't go any faster.

Oh, that's no need.

Look, we're in a fearful situation.

Get out of the way.

Oh,

we must. Right on.

The long arm of the law.

If known there was going to be two of them, I'd throw out the other pair of

handcuffs, you know.

This frock requires specialist dry cleaning, and you will be paying for it.

is all your fault.

No, I think you'll find it's mainly your fault.

The interview you did for Scotland in Vogue about Kilwilly Castle?

That is why these two women come up here.

Yeah. Obviously, Glenbogel wouldn't have been worth the trip.

I only did it for you and ours.

Not to try and say sorry.

Well, you did your best.

Yeah, and my best was rubbish.

As usual.

Aunty Liz said not to take in guests because they'd be no good at it.

Thought I'd prove her wrong too. Turns out she was right. No, look, we wouldn't

have caught them if it wasn't for you.

Anyway, I think you're pretty much the best head ranger that Glyn Bogle has

had.

Thanks, Liz.

Hey, I'm the only head ranger Glenn Bogle has ever had.

I'll send a bill on to you.

You may not be in a position to pay immediately.

The food was lovely.

Catch you later.

You didn't think I could do it? No. I put some champagne on ice.

You see, all his left hand's paid off. Yes, I suppose he did.

And the test itself, it wasn't a problem?

No, no, the examiner was so kind.

I didn't recognise him at first. Turns out he's a member of Hector's old golf

club. I see.

And the car keys?

I dropped them off. I was hoping you might have changed your mind. I'm afraid

I've started using it already.

Good. Golly was rather sweet.

He said I have half my life ahead of me, which is rather ghastly, but also

rather wonderful.

So I can either sit around Glenbow or waiting for grandchildren.

Or I can start something new.

And I'm hopeless at knitting booties, which is rather a muffled way of saying

thank you and yes, please.

If ever you want to list... I'll know who to ask.

I'll get the chandelier.

Well

done,

Molly.

Thank you.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Anyway,

can I get you a drink?

That's very kind.

Andrew's getting some champagne.

I'll ask him to get another glass.

No, no, no, it's OK.

Maybe some other time.

I've taken a look at the engineer's report.

You'll need to underpin the area that was damaged, but there's no reason why

shouldn't move back in.

When? As soon as you like.

Oh, that's great news. Thank you. No problem.

No, it's fake.

Okay.

Everything's going to be all right.

Of course it is.

But will you stop waiting?

Is that likely?

I had been killed.

What would have happened to you?

To the others? This place?

I wouldn't want to leave you on your own to have to deal with all this.

Talking of being left alone, you know what?

We've got this house completely to ourselves.

Hi. Just checking the gear.

I hope you brought a box of chocolates.
