Excuse me, do you know the way to Glenbogle?

No, I practically run the place.

Hey,

Penelope Pitt, don't be trying to kill us.

Amy!

Amy!

This gorgeous girl is my goddaughter, Amy McDougall.

You getting hungry, wee man?

Where's that big sister of yours gone?

Morning.

Let me do the talking here, son.

It's a fine one at that.

But then again, they're all fine nowadays.

That's freedom for you.

So they let you out.

Don't look so worried.

I've forgiven you.

In fact, you all did me a favour.

You're looking at a rehabilitated man.

You've been busy too, I see.

He doesn't speak gibberish.

What do you want?

I've a bit of business with the Laird.

Come on.

Why didn't you tell us you were coming?

I did.

I spoke to someone at the house and they said it was fine.

Oh, no.

You know how I'm done. I'm here now.

I can murder a drink.

Not this early, you couldn't.

Coffee, then?

Yeah, we can manage that.

Hey, what about school?

I've left, er, Paul.

I've got to deal with it.

Just ask you if there's anything you need.

Within reason.

That's all your stuff?

Yeah. Travel, eh?

Only me.

You can't just come marching in here as if you own something.

I'll let Paul deal with it.

Come on, need a bottle.

And a lie down.

What's he not to?

Come on, lass.

What's more important?

Glad that Tom Cooper has seen the wee man all right.

Huh? Come on.

My mother died while I was away.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Aye, well, a croft passes on to me.

I'm here to buy it, and the five acres of land it stands on.

It's my right, is it not?

It is.

You'll have to forgive us if we don't see you as the crofting type.

I've surprised myself.

I'd like to confirm the land boundaries with you, Laird.

You have to paper it first.

Why don't you come back when you've got all the relevant documents and we'll

take it from there.

You'll find these are all in order.

I hope you don't mind.

I prefer cash.

I wonder why.

I'll give you some time to look things over.

If you'll check the map.

I wouldn't want to be laying claim to any bits I wasn't entitled to.

And we've got here.

Hi, Tom. How are you?

Oh, the better, for seeing a friendly face.

Nice to know there's one of us on the inside keeping an eye on things.

Be seeing you.

No matter how far you travel, there's no place like Scotland.

You travel a lot?

Aye, my dad's in the army, so he gets posted all over.

Been on active service for a while, so I've been stuck at boarding school.

Nightmare.

Want to help me test the bed?

Well... I wouldn't do that.

Don't look so worried. Paul will have someone who can fix it.

Aye. He called you in.

and it's wonderful to see you.

Oh, I was in New York. Why didn't you let me know you were back?

Oh, look at you.

Have you been eating enough? Oh, Willie, there you are.

You really don't have time to wait. This is Molly.

Excuse us, we have a previous appointment. No, no, this is Hector's

is Molly MacDonald of Glenbogle and my dearest, dearest friend.

The lawyers have been served with the same papers.

Everything's in order.

Well, that's ridiculous.

And it isn't right. The man's a convicted poacher.

I can't choose who I sell to.

He has an absolute right to buy.

I'd love to know where he got his money from. My dear mother, rest her soul.

So, lad.

Congratulations.

You got yourself some land.

A fine stretch of river there, too.

The estate still owns the salmon fishing rights, mate.

I'll respect that, of course.

You make sure you do.

I look forward to us being good neighbours.

Pleasure doing business.

Who'd have thought it, eh?

Tam Cooper, landowner.

You won't need to worry about me poaching any more of your deer.

What a kind of my pleasure.

And your friend Kilbury leaves.

I just knew you two were going to get on.

What's the matter with me?

First I burn down your crop and then I leave you camping in the driveway.

Well, you've certainly got your own way of doing things.

What's your name?

I was called from Donald.

And no bills.

Must be a first.

Look, I'm really glad you decided to take me up on the offer.

Well, I didn't have much choice, did I?

I'm sure we'll all get on like a house on fire.

Probably not.

OK.

This one is south -facing, I think.

It doesn't seem to be facing anywhere.

This is just for me?

Well, you didn't think you'd have to share, did you?

No wonder you thought twice about coming.

Right, so... Yell if you need anything.

Nice shot, Amy.

Having fun?

Yeah, this is great.

Didn't know you were minty.

Will you play me?

No, I can't. Not just now. Maybe later.

I've got to ring your dad, let him know you've arrived safely.

You can't.

He's in a water room, remember?

When did you last hear from him?

I get messages every so often.

I'm sorry it's been so long.

Four years.

Four?

That means you must be... 18.

I forgot your 18th birthday.

Amy, I'm so sorry.

Really. I'll make it up to you, I promise.

How? Well, we'll have a party.

Tonight?

Yeah, why not?

Same. You do the food and I'll do the drink.

It's a deal.

Ewan, what needs fixing?

A couple of shelves.

I'll leave that for now. I want you to prepare a dinner party for Amy tonight.

Something really special.

What, no expense spared?

Yeah, go for it. Anything you like.

But no caviar, foie gras, truffles.

Very good.

Hello, is that Glenbogle off -license?

Do you sell vodka jellies?

Cool. Can I order 100, please?

I love shellfish.

They're for the lunches. I can't have mine now. They're not for us, they're

the fishing party.

They're working the state, Amy.

Look,

I'll make you a sandwich if you load the lunches into the car.

OK.

How fast is your car?

How fast?

I'm entering it in a banger while in a couple of weeks.

You're going to take it?

In one, if I can persuade Jethro's oi to navigate.

Are you helping or not?

Leave driver.

Holiday duck.

Thanks. I could navigate for you if you like.

I've done a bit of volunteering.

Is he married?

Yeah. So let's do it.

I've got to clear up.

Don't be such a wimp. The dishes will keep.

Come on.

I suppose I've got time for one circuit.

If there's anything else you need, Golly's your man.

Lunch is being prepared by our chef and will be ready whenever you are. Have a

good day.

That was brilliant!

You've done this before.

Yeah, I wanted to surprise you. How did you do?

Amy, it was amazing.

Is that a map or something?

Oh, that's an old rally technique my dad taught me.

Impressive, my lad.

Very.

Hey, are all the lunches ready? Have you got time to career around in that

thing? They're all packed in the back of the landy. That lad's aware, eh?

Eh, you and the rut in the landy.

I thought I was to put them in your car.

How did you think that?

It is not Amy's job to pack the lunches, Ewan.

Right, you've got 15 minutes to sort this lot out.

And it better be good or it's coming up your wages.

Oh, hi.

I don't normally.

Shout like this. Aye, only the chef.

Can I help?

Oh, I was looking for somewhere to put my thing.

Oh, sure.

Help yourself to anything you need.

I want you to treat this place as your home while you're here.

Oh, you don't want me doing that. I'll be burning toast in my pyjamas singing

Doogie McLean at the top of my voice.

Ewan, is there somewhere Iona can put her stuff?

Yeah, in that cupboard.

Look, I need to get these lunches down to the hut.

Amy, have you met Iona?

Hi, Iona.

Hiya. Maybe Iona could show you around.

She knows you stay like the back of her hand.

She's a shepherdess.

But it was just men who hung about with sheep.

No, no, there's a few women.

Can you whistle?

Aye.

We'll go now.

Brilliant. That can be your party face.

We're having a party tonight for Amy.

You'd be more than welcome.

I'll see.

Well, if you don't want to whistle, you can always give us a tone.

Why don't you try over there?

You've got more luck in there.

What can we do for you?

I'm quite happy to stick it in the air.

I'm Tom Cooper, the new owner of this piece of land.

Hope you're all enjoying yourself.

The land might belong to Mr Cooper, but the salmon rights are the McDonald's.

Isn't that correct?

Oh, it is indeed.

Oh, watch yourself, Hawk. Easy done.

Well... Come on.

He's right off back at the hut.

Right. I think it's time for a break for lunch.

They just loved Kill Willie's oatmeal ice cream and raspberry coulis.

Is that how you met at Kill Willie's restaurant?

Indeed it was.

Everyone who's anyone went there. He was the toast of New York.

When he said he wanted to open a branch here, I just had to come along.

How nice.

So, how long have you two been together?

It is not my girlfriend, Molly.

come over as my PA.

And a wonderful one she is, too.

Well, would you look at me sitting around as if I was a lady of leisure?

I'll leave you two to catch up.

I hope you'll come again soon, Molly, and next time bring your husband.

Oh, I'm afraid Hector's not with us anymore.

You mean you're single?

Well, she turned me down.

But I've forgiven her.

It's top of the range.

My dad's always sending me stuff.

Smile.

Oh, that's nice.

Oh.

Are you cold?

Yeah, I forgot to pack my jumper.

Bit of a mistake up here, my friend.

You must have left in a hurry.

No, I just didn't think.

No problem.

Keep us there in the bottom of the pram.

Thanks.

Come on.

You've never navigated before, have you?

No.

Didn't think so.

I used to do that.

Say I could do things, but I couldn't.

Do you like being a mum?

Don't mind.

He's my wee brother.

Sorry, I thought... It's OK.

His mum died.

My mum died too.

Well, I made a good try disrupting a day's fishing.

Well, how can we stop him on his own land?

Talk of the devil.

Laugh that there's too much. Not in front of that cat.

Making good use of the hut, I see.

Afternoon, all.

Good morning's fishing, I hope.

We don't want all the work of jellies to melt.

You've taken out all the venison.

There was no room.

Don't you need it out for the party?

The bit I needed is already cooking.

This is for a week's sufficient party luncheon. Oh, better put it back then.

can't re -freeze meat.

I could make something.

I was top of the Cordon blog class at school.

Well, that solves it then.

What about cockle with venison instead?

Yeah.

I'll take care of it.

With the whole of New York at your feet, I don't believe it.

Sadly so.

Do excuse me.

I need you to sign this, please.

Right.

There we are. Thank you. Thank you.

Where were we?

Your paper.

Share prices are marked on page three and five.

Oh, thanks.

Isn't she a marvel?

I couldn't believe it. A woman as glamorous as Edith wanted to come all

to work for me.

Your single malt, Lois.

Thank you.

Would you like something, Molly, before you go?

No, thank you. If you're sure, I'll get your coat.

Hang on a minute. You're not leaving so soon.

I really must.

Well, I'm not going to let you go anywhere until you agree to come back

some lunch tomorrow.

Edith loves to cook for people.

Well, in that case...

I haven't spent much time with you today.

It's okay.

I know you've got more important stuff to be done.

Hey, you not in there yet?

Come on.

Ta -da!

Oh,

it's lovely.

I don't like me to stop you, lass.

Just in for the baby's bottle.

I was just finishing anyway.

Well, you can throw in your joiners for a drink.

I was just asking where you'd got to.

I'm not really thirsty, thank you.

Ah.

You've got all those folk about the place, eh?

Take a bit of you used to.

Aye, it does.

Listen, the good thing about a big house like this is no -one can find you if

you don't want them to.

OK?

See you later.

Bye.

Happy birthday to you.

Now,

I know I'm a couple of months late, but... Well, I have been saving this

for your 18th birthday, so...

Don't you like it?

I love it.

That's so special.

It's to be worn, Amy.

There's no use in a box.

Paul, I... Oh, come on, let's see it on.

Oh, that's lovely.

Happy birthday, Amy.

Very happy to talk to you. Amen.

Yeah?

Tea in bed, madam.

What happened to you?

It collapsed.

Ewan tried to fix it, but I think we need a new one.

If you asked me, this whole place would look a lot better with more modern

stuff. You can marry the old and new successfully, you know.

Just as well you're only staying a week. You're costing me a fortune.

Paul's not loaded.

Kidding. The state just about pays for itself.

That is, providing people don't almost ruin a man's supply of anything.

You didn't tell him? Nah.

The kitten's my territory.

That's how it works.

We all muck in and dare bit.

You're in my hut.

Sorry?

You're in my hut.

What are you talking about? This hut has been part of the Glen Bogle estate for

the past 30 years.

Fair enough.

Your hut is on my land.

Well, I hope we're not in your way.

Not at all.

You're welcome to use it.

For a reasonable rate.

You want us to pay you rent?

Can we go in, please?

Ah, sorry.

Sir, could you just give us a minute?

I don't need a minute.

I was thinking more of a share of the revenues. Let's say 65%. And a small

additional payment for every fish caught.

You can't expect me to say that furiously.

I think it's fair, considering the quality of amenities provided.

Buy off?

You do put on a good spread right enough.

Tell you what, let's make it 60 % if you throw in a wee doggy bag.

I'll tell you what.

Or do without the hut.

How do we manage that?

It'll be fine. It's the vision they come for.

Oh, I think they might expect a bit more than that.

Right, ladies and gentlemen, lift your knees.

This way.

Not bad.

Could do with something extra, though.

Red wine.

You know, you may just be right.

It's okay, I'll put it in. What?

The red wine.

Vinegar. Vinegar. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I thought love was in door.

Oh, seeing how it's such a grand day, I thought you might prefer to eat

alfresco. But it rained.

Oh, it's just a passing show, sir.

Here.

Have a wee seat.

Fashioned by my own dear father, many moons ago.

Catch a wee refreshment.

Excuse me.

Isn't this somewhere I can dry off? Of course, Laura, of course.

Yes? Yes.

Excuse me? This isn't exactly what I was expecting.

We didn't pay good money just to sit here getting set.

What do you call this, sir?

And where's the vendor?

Don't talk to him like that.

Why don't you stop moaning and just eat the lovely food you and spent time and

effort preparing?

How dare you talk to me like that? I'm sorry, Sir Arnold.

You didn't mean it.

Yes, I did.

There's people all over the world who don't have any food or shelter, and he's

moaning about a wee bit of rain. Well, I've had enough.

This is not what is specified in your brochure.

Well done, Amy. We have been struggling all day to keep this lot happy.

Imagine having Tam Cooper try to ruin us without you getting in on the act as

well. Sarando!

Sarando! It's no good.

What's the occasion?

Kill Willy's for lunch.

This is all for Kill Willy.

Molly, is this something you're not telling me? Of course not. It's just

he's brought back this very glamorous, super -efficient, rather obnoxious PA,

so... So you're all dressed up for someone you don't like.

Molly, the ways of women are a mystery to me.

What are you up to?

Just looking.

My dad used to fish, but he never caught anything that big.

He must be good.

You're not from round here, are you?

No.

How much do you reckon they weigh?

Well... This one's at least ten pounds.

You don't see many of these around here anymore.

And this one... Hey!

Give me that!

Don't panic.

You don't look that ugly.

Come back here!

I'm warning you!

Yeah, but they all want their money back.

Do we cancel tomorrow's group?

We can't.

I mean, do you know how much that would cost?

Plus, word gets around fast, and if we lose our regulars, we're sunk.

Well, we could reduce the price, tell them it'll just be the fishing.

Yeah, we'll have to.

The only real money we make is on all the extras.

Yeah, well, it wasn't quite five -star treatment they got today, was it?

And Amy didn't exactly help.

Well, come on, we can't blame Amy.

I'm sure she did her best.

No, no, until we fix this, we're just... We're just going to have to make

cutbacks elsewhere.

What did he want?

He was asking about you.

Oh, yeah? What did you tell him?

I never told him anything.

I'm sorry.

Tam's been making things impossible for us the last couple of days.

I came to ask if you'd mind calling an emergency meeting of the Crofters

Association tonight.

Well, it's a bit late notice.

I know, but I thought if we held it at Glenborg, I'll do the tea in Scots.

Well, we'd better get a phone in then.

I've decanted your favorite claret, Kilwillie.

It's drinking particularly well at the moment.

Splendid. I thought this would do you, Molly.

It's perfectly pleasant.

No sense in wasting good claret if you don't know the difference.

Kilwillie has impeccable taste in wine.

He does.

I think men take wine rather too seriously, after all. It is just for

Perfectly pleasant.

Indeed, just like yourself.

Tell me, are you going to cook at the new restaurant?

Oh, I'm not quite up to that standard.

Nonsense.

We're more partners. My brain's his charm.

How can we fail?

How indeed.

That's a delightful scarf you're wearing, Molly.

I'm afraid I'm not brave enough to risk that colour.

Oh, but you should, my dear.

Any colour would suit you.

Thank you, Kilwilly.

Isn't he so gallant?

How did we get through this much venison?

And who ordered all this stuff on the off -licence?

I'm not sure.

That's not good enough, Ewan. You're paid to be sure.

I'm sorry, boss.

Just...

Just make sure you keep track of everything from now on, all right?

Thanks for not grafting me up.

It's against my religion.

I'll make it up to you.

Please don't.

Me, you and Jess are going out for a drink. My treat.

Can I ask you something, Kilwillie?

Mm -hm?

Do you think you'd be happy working with Edith?

Well, of course. She's very good at her job.

I think she's set her sights on a lot more than the job. What do you mean?

You kill Willy.

You think a woman like her would be interested in a crusty old bachelor like

Oh, you flatter me, Molly.

But no.

No, Edith had her heart broken a year ago when her husband ran off with

woman.

She doesn't think she'll ever be able to trust a man again.

So that means I'm going to have to postpone the agreed repairs.

Oh, no.

You were supposed to be starting mine tomorrow morning. I know, and it will be

done. I give you my word. But first... How can we trust your word when you've

just broken it?

Let's listen to what Paul has to say.

You should all do what I've done.

Buy your craft.

Rely on yourself.

Not an incompetent laird.

Maybe you should explain your part of the estate's loss of revenue.

I'm just trying to make a decent living from my land.

Since when did trying to charge the laird over the odds for the use of an

hut constitute making a decent living?

You're prepared to sacrifice the rest of us to satisfy your own greed.

See, no matter who owns the land, the most important thing is that we work

together to protect all of our interests.

Aye, as long as the laird's interests come first.

Mr. Cooper, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

I've as much right as the rest of you to voice my opinion.

No, no, you don't, because as you now own your croft, you're no longer

to attend our meetings.

That's right enough.

Oh, she's got you there, Tam.

And he picks them up through the kitchen, all over the place. It went

everywhere.

Sorry for messing up, darling.

That's all right.

Sorry for having to go home.

I'm glad because it's Amy. Amy includes my father.

I used to know Jess.

I didn't expect there to be so much talent in such a wee place.

That's what he's having. I'm buying. Yeah.

What age is she?

Fifteen? She's eighteen, actually.

Oh, is that what you told her?

No, that's what the boss told me. She's his goddaughter.

Oh, she doesn't look it.

Aye, well, she surprised you.

Took nearly a minute off my time with her navigating.

Oh, so you're still in a huff if you're not doing the map reading for your

stupid rally?

It's not a stupid rally, and I don't care if you map read or not.

Plenty of other people are up for it.

Like who?

Amy, for one.

Tam Cooper's antics have scuppered us for the moment, but with your help...

I think we can turn that around.

Aye, there's always some excuse.

Look, if I'm willing to listen to the laird after he'd burned my house down,

then I'd hope the rest of you would at least give him a chance.

Aye, right enough.

And I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Iona for accepting my

offer of board and lodging rather than suing me.

So, laird, are you going to invite us all up to the big house till you can fix

up our crock?

Well, I'm hoping that the dubious prospect of that will be enough to

you all to help me.

So are you with me?

Highly up.

We're with you.

Great.

We're going to need hammers, saws, chisels, and as many bodies as possible.

He's just the way I like him.

Pompous, lonely, and rich.

Count on it. When I come back to New York, It will be as Lady Kilwillie.

Molly!

Edith!

Oh, there you are.

Right, so you'll cancel that first order?

Thank you.

Zoe, listen to Amy. She's been in Climb Oakwood for a few days.

Amy, Zoe.

How you doing?

Nice to meet you.

Me too.

I'm Ian's girlfriend.

What?

I didn't know you had that kind of thing.

Well, you do know.

There we go. Thank you.

Hold on. There's one final secret ingredient.

Close your eyes.

Very good.

Well, thank you for your support, Sandy.

You did a good thing.

You're really lucky.

Ewan's nice.

Not luck.

You have any of these?

Eh, yeah, thanks.

I'll finish in an hour. You can walk me home.

I can't. I have to take Amy.

It's work, Zoe. She's the boss's goddaughter.

You're not a serf, Ewan.

I'll come back after I've got her home.

Okay?

Okay.

But if you don't... Then?

You're chuffed.

Save us a knock.

Shall I walk you home?

Yeah, please.

I find it easier to count the doors.

I'll try that.

Or I'll leave you to the bread.

That way.

Right, we're all standing at the bar. The heat challenge is after an arm

wrestling match.

Betsy needs to call a double season ticket.

So what happened?

She tanked him. She hasn't missed a game since.

I'd better be going.

I'd thank you.

Are you having a laugh?

What, you scared or something?

Well, I suppose I've got a couple of seconds.

Good idea.

Well, good night, then.

Good night.

Well, I just want you to know that however tight things get...

I'm going to make sure your cruft is properly restored.

Well, you better.

Sleep well.

Oh,

I think I've done my back in. You all right?

You're cheating, we bomb you.

It's not my fault because you can't concentrate.

Best of three.

Do you like it?

Are you all right?

I need a towel for my hair. Look at you. You're shivering. I've got one in my

room. Come on.

There you are.

Thanks.

Do you mind brushing my hair?

My mum used to do it 50 times before I went to bed.

Of course.

I'm setting away the stones.

Then we'll level the site.

Morning.

Morning.

Ewan, there's something I need to speak to you about. Morning. Right, all hands

on deck.

Ewan?

Same with me.

Amy, you can drive, can't you?

Of course, past bus time.

Great. Will you go into town and pick up Ewan today?

Amy, are you OK?

Amy McDougall. I might have known. Amy, are you OK?

I assume you're Paul MacDonald.

We found your address in Amy's locker.

Yes, I am, but... I've been worried sick.

When a 16 -year -old girl runs away, you can't help but fear the worst. 16?

Sorry, just a minute. Who are you? Edward Green, Amy's headmaster.

You're still at school?

who was still supposed to be at school.

Don't blame yourself.

She's very adept at it.

Well, let's not put it too crudely. She has a vivid imagination.

Brandy, wasn't it? Oh, thank you.

We will, of course, reimburse you for the damage to your car.

I should hope so.

Oh, and if you could arrange a replacement so that I can get myself and

to school.

She's in the run -up to her exams, and I'm responsible to her father to make

sure she at least tries to pass them. Hold on. She hasn't sat any of her

You haven't got a single exam.

How could you have lied to me? I didn't mean to.

I didn't think you'd let me stay if you knew. You're damn right there.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, please don't make me go back.

It's bad enough letting me down. You're not going to let your father down as

well. Dad doesn't care. Of course he does. No, he'd never get any time for

and you're just the same. Go and pack, right now.

What, you're sending me away?

Well, sorry, everybody's ready to start.

OK, OK, I'll be there.

I want you ready to leave by the time I get back.

I hate you!

Amy? Amy?

What do you think you're doing?

This is my lot!

That was just why we thought we'd remove this eyesore for you.

Today's fishing party are being picked up as we speak, and we should just about

have this plate in time for lunch.

Well, we can stop this right now.

So, would you mind off if we chatted later?

Oh!

Oh!

He may have run away.

Don't worry about the last.

She wouldn't have got far.

Have you got a minute?

I've always got a minute for you, Molly.

But I'm afraid right now it can only just be the one.

I'll be quick.

If I found out a woman you trusted was in fact a complete fraud, would you want

me to tell you?

Tricky. Is it?

It's always hard when somebody tells you that your judgment's completely off.

Especially in affairs of the heart.

You're right.

I might never speak to you again.

But...

I'd like to think that you would risk my anger and do whatever you thought best

for me.

Thank you.

Molly.

Molly.

I wanted you to be the third to know. Okay, Molly, what is it? What's wrong?

No, no, nothing's wrong.

No.

Edith has asked me to marry her.

Oh, you dear Molly.

You are absolutely right.

But women know these things, don't they?

But I thought you said she could never trust a man again.

Well, that's what means so much to me, do you see?

She thinks she can trust me.

Do you want to marry her?

Well, we both know who I want to marry.

But I've been awfully lonely, Molly.

And... You know, Edith's a wonderful woman, and I think I'd be a fool not to.

Kilwillie, Edith has been lying to you. She's not at all who you think

she is.

What on earth do you mean?

There should be a tangency.

We shouldn't get one of you.

Just try it.

There she is.

Amy!

What's going on?

because that pays him.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that there's nothing there, but

trained eye.

He's the tiny footprints of the very rare lesser -spotted bee -peeler.

My, my.

But I'm not sure it's her, Molly.

I mean, there must be lots of Edith Parkers in New York.

I do hope you're right.

Well, if it is her, you can't believe everything you read in the newspapers,

you? Here she comes.

Trust me.

That's the trouble I always do.

Edith. What is it?

Where's Kilwilly?

He's in a very dark place, and I'm afraid it's all my fault. What is?

I was just telling him that your third or was it fourth husband hadn't left you

at all, and in fact you'd ruined him with your extravagance, just like all

others. You devious, self -righteous hypocrite.

You don't want him, but you don't want me to have him.

You want to rob that ass of a man of the only chance of happiness he might have.

Edith! Enough.

At least he'll enjoy spending his money on me. It's not as if he has anyone else

to leave it to.

Okay, Willie.

I'm so sorry.

All the girls picked on me because I wasn't posh like them.

I just couldn't take it anymore.

How do people hate you because you don't fit in?

It frightens them.

They're scared that one wrong move and they'll be on the outside too.

I'll bet none of them last five minutes, I'll be honest.

I shouldn't have lied.

No, but maybe if I'd spent more time with you, you'd have told me what's been

going on.

I think Dad's still upset with Mum for dying and leaving us.

What about you?

I'll bet.

As long as you know it wasn't her fault.

Extraordinary. Extraordinary.

Right. Let's have lunch and do some watching.

Let's go.

I'm busy.

So what does it, Ali?

It doesn't change anything.

I'm still the same person.

I lost Zoe thanks to you.

Can't have liked her that much.

You know, you're a daft wee schoolgirl that tells lies.

Just leave me alone.

I'm sorry.

Amy.

Do you think I did the right thing throwing her out?

Of course you did.

What you need is a nice cup of tea.

I've been such a fool.

I should have known a woman like her wouldn't be genuinely interested in me.

I should think not.

She was a liar and a cheat.

You deserve much better than Edith Parker.

One doesn't always get what one deserves.

Edith did.

She's right there, Molly.

What good is all my money if I've got no one to spend it on?

Kill, Willie.

You are still young.

You'll find the right woman.

And I already did.

Oh, dear.

The headmaster.

About time.

Is this the driver?

No, no. Sorry.

Another brandy.

You're lucky to catch one there. I never have.

Excuse me, gents.

You think you're so smart, come on. Sam, let's prove it. Surely we can work out

some way of putting up with each other.

After you had me sent down?

No way.

You'd better watch your back.

This is only the beginning.

Hello again.

How's the fishing?

You know him? Jess told me what was going on.

I've never seen her before in my life.

Hey, hang on.

Yeah, my goddaughter's talking to you.

Picture turned out really well.

Here, give me that.

Fortune salmon.

You must have enjoyed prison, Sam.

With your record, you're looking at a nice long sentence.

Come on, Hayley.

Come on, Laird, a couple of fish.

I'll pay you for them.

I'll tell you how this works, Tam.

I see you around here again, I'm calling the police.

Now get off my land.

Actually, she got me to listen.

Well, if she's ready, we won't take up any more of your time.

So how would you say she's getting on at school?

Very well indeed.

You see, that's not what she tells me. I think we've established that she's a

compulsive liar.

Oh, I say, steady on.

So she's happy?

No one expects to be entirely happy at school. And no one can do well if

entirely miserable.

Now look here.

The truth is...

That girl has been trouble since day one.

She is willful, cheeky, dishonest and rather unpopular with our girls. No, the

truth is you're not interested in Amy.

You're interested in fees and covering up the fact that one of your pupils is

unhappy she's run away.

I've wasted enough of my time here.

Amy! Do you think I'll let Amy go anywhere with you?

Her father will have something to say about that. He certainly will.

And until I've spoken to him, Amy stays here.

You'll be hearing from me.

Oh.

Won't you take this back?

No. No, I gave it to you, Amy.

For my 18th birthday.

It's not my 18th birthday for another two years.

Please. I want you to give it to me then.

And I'll deserve it.

Hold on.

You're not planning on staying that long, are you?

Right.

I think I'll do that. Get there.
