All language subtitles for 06. Hamish Macbeth-A Bit of an Epic-S1

Howdy, Bonnie.

John. Bernie.

Hi. Jimmy.

Oh, Hamish.

Am I lost for air? I know, I know, I
know. Come here.

Are

you

there?

You never know. You might need a hand.

Why, look.

Don't tell me. Tell him it.

Where's the wicked people?

Look at all my stuff.

I'm a paying jet.

Chris Bonington here has lost his kit.

That's not necessary, officer.

We'll tell you what's necessary.

I have to get a proper night's rest in
order to help lead a party of hikers.

God, save them if he's in charge. Shut
up.

Barney, any damage?

A couple of glasses.

You see which one started it? No.

Go for it.

Evening, Colonel.

Colonel Maxwell, Executive Expeditions.

Evening. Do you mind if I have a word?

No, go ahead.

You're not going to let him speak to the
press. John, John, I'm the pauser. I'm

going to have to let you go.

For God's sake, you're not firing me.
Look, actually, you're drunk and

disorderly the night before an
expedition. I can't jeopardise

and I won't compromise my business. You
just came at me.

One has a responsibility to one's crime.

I'm sorry.

Tag it, Dr Ross. It's all yours.

OK.

Drink, Hamish?

Why not?

Well, I suggest you to, uh... Well, I
don't know, you just cool off a wee bit,

eh? Why?

Any chance of going home, Hamish?

Nah.

Oh, no.

Hamish!

Howdy, Isabel.

Morning, Hamish.

You all dressed up? Yeah.

I'm doing a piece on Don Maxwell.

You know, the outward bound man.

Met him last night.

I'm off out to this party today.

Could be one for the Scotsman, this.

Very good.

Right, that should see me through.

Have you tried these?

They're new. You could maybe get a
couple in your pocket.

Why not, indeed.

That's £6 .20.

And where are you off to?

Over the hills and far away.

Still, home tomorrow.

See you then. Yes, bye.

Bright -eyed and bushy -tailed this
morning, Jenny? Yes, Colonel.

Looking forward to it.

Map.

Compass. Lay of the clothing.

Torch? Yes, and the battle.

Inspector Patchett.

First aid kit.

Good. All present and correct.

Morning, Mike.

Good morning, Trick Colonel.

Yeah.

How do you fancy being my backup man,
Mike, when we get to the top?

Ah. What about Paul?

As you all know, Paul's no longer with
us.

Parting of the ways.

Mike here is going to be our acting
second -in -command.

Morning, George.

Morning. Sorry. I see you took my advice
about the extra glucose.

Ah, ladies and gentlemen, this is Miss
Isabel Sutherland of the Lock, Dew and

District Listener.

This is my party from ABK International.
It's Mike Beardsall, Jenny Carpenter,

Helen Wardlow, Mark Glasson.

Oh, and Mr. Standish.

George. Hello. Hello.

Miss Sutherland is going to write an
article on us which may appear in the

national press, so be careful.

Anything we say may be taken down and
used in evidence against us. Including

that.

It's our route description.

Welcome to the group.

Thank you.

Constable. Colonel. Coming too?

Fancy a quick trip up Bendrack and back?

No, I don't think so. I've been up there
a few times already.

Well, in that case, I could use a man
who knows what he's doing after last

night's fiasco.

Well, it's tempting, but, uh... The only
mountain I'll be seeing today is

paperwork. Paperwork?

Rather than been dragged?

I underestimated you, Constable.

Mike, do you want to lead us off?

Bye.

All right, George.

Yeah.

You know those inhalers can ruin your
nasal membranes, don't you?

That's more than we thought Hamish.

I find these behind the cabinet.

So, Jenny is it? Yes, Jenny Carpenter.

What do you do with ABK?

Oh, I'm a marketing manager.

That sounds good.

Well, it's the lowest rung on the
managerial ladder, but I think the next

in sight.

Come on, Jenny, you know it is.

Your fingers are better than the rest of
marketing put together.

And you're Mike.

Mike Bittles, though, yeah. Pleased to
meet you.

Do you two work together?

Work together?

We love each other.

Oh, I think it might be a bit one way,
this love.

Yeah, it's the lowest rung on the ladder
of love, but I think the next rung's in

sight.

We've all been assigned from different
departments to a new project. So this is

like a, well, you know, an exercise to
get us working together as a group.

Hello, Mr.

Sandal. Ah, George, please.

Not the part that you have to call me by
my name.

I figured you'd not be sure about all of
this.

No, I think it's great working together
as a group.

I just don't see the point of coming all
the way up here to... Don't be fooled

by me, Mr. Bell.

Beneath that feeble facade that...

The coiled sexual power of a jungle cat,
isn't there, George?

It should burst out at any moment.

He gives you any trouble, you tell me.

Oh. Hello.

I'm Mark.

I'm in charge of our databasing and
information retrieval systems.

Oh, that sounds... That sounds
interesting.

Well, not as interesting as it sounds,
in point of fact. People don't realise.

OK.

So, this is the foot of Ben Drath.

As you can see, it's a nice gentle
incline from here, so we'll take it at a

good, brisk pace.

Maybe a couple of stops on the way, and
we should have an excellent view of

Mackenzie's Point to look forward to.

I mean, these mountains have been here
for hundreds of thousands, millions of

years, and we decide some guy.

I mean, how do we actually know if
Mackenzie was the first person to climb

He fell off.

So mind if I tag along, then?

Seems our village bobby knows which side
his bread's buttered after all.

Yeah.

You don't like him?

Oh, no, no, I like him.

I'm just not sure he'd recognise
buttered bread if it came up in

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Oh, it's good to be back, Marky. We're
always pleased to see you, Miss

Alexandra.

That's nice to know.

It's just a bit sore.

Yeah.

Well, you'll be all right.

Boot back on, otherwise you may get some
swelling. Okay, Helen? Okay.

Remember what we say?

The day you give in to your body...
That's the day you die.

Good girl.

So what is it you sell your company?

TVs, computers, anything you can pile
high and sell cheap.

It's all tosh, but the money to be
made's obscene.

Life up here must seem a wee bit, I
don't know, low - Powered. No, I love it

here. I get quite turned on by it, to be
honest.

Really? Yeah.

All these peaks and points and
pinnacles.

Bit suggestive on the old imagery front.

OK.

Let's be on our way.

On your feet.

Come on, George.

Let's not allow one or two blisters to
get in that way. It's only pain.

Say something, Dad.

Oh, it goes without saying. I'm very
pleased for you.

Have you thought it... I suppose you've
thought it through. Yes.

Well, it means I can be here for a
start.

Stop you going off the rails.

Obviously, it's not a fait accompli.

No.

What about your, uh, your writing?

Well, I can write from here, can't I?

I thought you needed to be in London.

You make a sound as if you don't want me
home.

Alec.

Come here.

Do you know what this place is like
without you in it?

You have to remember, these are people
who spend 100 % of their working lives

cooped up in offices, chained to death,
ruining their eyes on computer screens.

What I say to our clients, and we have
many letters from them confirming this,

is that a course with executive
expeditions is about knowing your true

The more you venture out into nature,
the deeper you see into yourself.

Every life.

is a journey.

And the reward for the outward bump is
in a discovery.

Help! Help! George!

Hey!

Get me out of here! Oh, don't, George!
Come on!

Oh,

bloody hell! Come on, quick!

For God's sake, George, I told you to
walk round! I know you don't want to

this way!

George, you've got a mark.

Can we just remember, the whole point of
this exercise is to get you playing

together as a team.

I'm not all fat at our separate desks
now. This is a joint effort.

If you step out of line, you risk your
own neck and potentially everyone else's

too. I won't allow that.

Okay?

On we go.

Round the bog, please.

You okay, George?

Of course, we all know why it's got to
be a team effort, don't we?

If you haven't got a team, you can't be
a leader.

Team effort.

Which is weird, ain't it?

We're just spectators on this guy's
private ego trip.

All right, I'm sorry. I should have
listened, all right?

Thank you.

And tell him I'm sorry that I'm a wee
bit late.

Will do.

Hello, Doc. TV's on.

Any problems today, Agnes?

No. Why?

Just let me know if you do.

You?

Well, it occurs to me that in Hamish's
absence, the people of Lough Doon need

somebody they can turn to.

Why, where is he?

Oh, he's away up there in Drach with
some famous climber.

Colonel Maxwell.

Staying with us.

One minute we were supposed to be
clearing his paperwork, the next he's

the hills.

I sometimes think we need more than one
policeman in this place

Everybody all right?

You're doing very well.

Can't vouch for Miss Sutherland's
verdict on you all, but my own reports

very warm, not least you two. Well done.

Thank you. Cheers, Dawn.

Well done, Helen.

Come on, Mark, keep it going.

Oh, George.

George, can I have a wear?

Look, um... Look, I'm sorry I had to
make a bit of an example of you earlier,

George. It's my mistake.

I'm sure in future you'd know not to
trust your inexperienced eye over my

judgment.

That's what I forgot to write, Helga.

Your judgment.

You dragged us up here to prove... What?

Truth is, we could climb every mountain
in Scotland.

Wouldn't make a blind bit of difference
to our ability to do our jobs.

That's just where you're wrong,
Standish.

You push yourself past what you thought
you were capable of and you learn about

yourself. Fine.

Fine. You try my job to see how much you
learn about yourself. I mean, this is

nonsense, isn't it? George.

Because that's the whole point.

All right. I can't run up a mountain in
my underwear. I'm not fit.

But I don't need to be.

I've got news for you, mate.

The world needs people like me a whole
lot more than it needs people like you.

And unless we're suddenly going to go
back to the Stone Age, I just don't see

where you fit in.

I've had my authority challenged, all
right?

All right.

As I was saying, we'll soon be at the
top of Bendra.

It's a wonderful view, weather
permitting.

We can all take a well -deserved break.

Okay?

Bye.

There we are.

Over there, that's Skaranangillia, young
man's peak.

That's Poison Dwarf.

And that, that's Mackenzie's Point.

Oh, fantastic.

It's beautiful.

Isn't that a view worth seeing?

Worth a bit of effort, eh?

George?

You all right?

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Come and see what all this has been
about.

That's a good view, you know.

Yeah, well, apparently Earth's very
interesting from the moon, but I don't

that's a reason to join the space
programme.

That is not true, in point of fact.

You can only see the outline of the
continents.

Look, it's no more fault you're here.

No, no, I'm sorry.

It's been a hell of a week, you know,
this course, kicking myself and not

telling my boss where to get off.

I mean, there comes a point... Well,
there should come a point in life where

stop having to prove yourself.

No, no.

It's tough enough coming to terms with
what you are without punishing yourself

for what you're not.

And, uh... The Great Wall of China, of
course.

Hey, George, do you want to miss this,
mate? The young man's peak. It'll bring

back memories for you.

The old reminiscence front.

You might find it quite interesting as
well, Mark. And point off farts.

Listen to that.

He's got the whole world in his hands.

That was me, you know, 15 years ago.

Eh?

Yeah, yeah, I was just... Hello?

Hello, Miss Alexandra. How are you?

Fine, thanks.

It's Hamish. Have you seen Hamish today?

Why, have you a problem?

No, I just wanted to speak to him.

Oh. He's away up the mountains with some
famous climber.

Colonel Maxwell.

Being with us.

Yeah, hiking in the hills, where the
criminal fraternity of Loch Dew runs

Well, I'd better get their tea ready.

Won't be long till they're back.

What's that?

Oh, nothing.

An appointment I'm not going to keep.

We've made fantastic time.

Who's to Mackenzie's point?

Which one was Mackenzie's?

That one.

I'm serious. Come on.

Let's really give Miss Sutherland
something to write about.

That's a steep ascent, but we've trained
for it.

We're equipped for it.

And there isn't one person here who
isn't capable of it.

Mike, what do you say?

Um... Yeah.

I'm game. Good man.

Jenny? Uh, yes, I suppose.

Good girl.

Is it hard?

Nothing's hard but the right attitude.

Um, if I can just say...

I don't know. I was really hoping it
wouldn't be much further with my feet.

Well, we've all got sore feet, Helen.

Maybe sore for a few days, whatever we
do, the peak or not.

An experience like this stays with you a
lifetime. It is life.

Trust me, everything else is just a pale
imitation.

I think maybe some of your party are a
wee bit more tired than the letting on,

Colonel. Nonsense.

Fatigue is a state of mind.

That's what this whole course has been
about. It hits you when you push through

it. You push through it until your heart
is pumping pure adrenaline.

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but if
you went up, I'd be there with you.

I've never gone any further than this,
so... So I would like to.

Well, I think that's a majority for
pressing on.

Now... Yes.

We're going to miss our meal at the
Lockdew Hotel, so I suggest we stop here

eat something and replenish our energy
levels and leave in what?

Fifteen minutes?

Colonel, give me a word.

What?

What's in a...

I hope you don't mind me saying this,
but I think it's a bad idea.

Constable, I'm very glad to have you
here as an extra pair of experienced

but I think you're a guest on this trip.
Well, that's true enough.

But Helen's feet are giving her trouble.

Mark's not fitting on her, George.

You see them as having problems? Uh
-huh.

Well, I see them as having opportunities
to discover what they're capable of.

And anyway, I'm not splitting the group.

I'm just pointing out that some of your
party aren't fit.

Well, thank you for that observation.

Well, it was a shortcut back there, and
I think... Well, why don't you take it,

then?

Take the helpless and the hopeless with
you.

Ready?

I've just got to change.

What for? It's only the lockdown.

You're right, I want you. Good.

Um, we're not going in together, are we?

Rory.

Constable Macbeth has persuaded me that
some of you might want to go down from

here.

There is a short route down, and you're
welcome to take it with him.

I will take your decision to leave into
consideration when I write my reports

for your employer. I'm with Macbeth.

Me too.

If it weren't for my feet... Isabel?

No, I'll stay with the Colonel.

Well, I can't be responsible for you...
You're not responsible for me, Hamish!

This is my work.

Aye, OK.

Driver, heading.

How long is it down, Hamish?

Oh, it's not too far from here.

North road into Lockdow's, that way.

Always casual after there.

Sounds easy enough.

This is very good of you, Hamish.

Well, I'm just sorry your trip went
sour.

It went sour long before we even arrived
in Lockdow's.

Ah, this way.

Seen the salt course he's had us on.

Amazing how he's been injured.

Careful of that lock going up there with
him.

Especially with that pole.

Now, at least to Paul, there was someone
who stopped Maxwell going over the

edge.

Um, Hamish.

I've got the mat.

I'm reading the mat.

We could get down by ourselves, couldn't
we?

Could you...

Marnie. Esme.

Rory. Will you see the menu, please?

Aye.

Will both of you be eating?

Possibly. Yes.

Hablo espanol.

Do you speak Spanish?

Do you speak Spanish?

Si, yo hablo espanol. Si, yo hablo
espanol.

Yes, I speak Spanish.

Yes, I speak.

Do you think there's one other?

No.

Of course they want a bloody laugh.

You said they didn't. I was being
ironic, man.

Ironic?

Colonel, I've changed my mind. That's
okay with you.

I thought you would.

Oh, you never know whether you're coming
or going, do you? I thought you might

need some help.

What? What we need is enthusiasm.

You and that man Standish, always
sneering at everything we're doing,

our morale down.

You know something, Hamish? I was glad
when you left. Look, I just don't trust

Maxwell, okay?

Well, what are you doing here, then?

Look, Hamish, just go down. Get warm.

Get into your huddle with P .V. John and
your whiskey.

And your dog!

Aye, cheers, Habish.

It's bark, isn't it?

Who, Isabel?

Wouldn't mind giving us something to
write about, eh?

On the extracurricular front.

What did Mike say to you?

Nothing. It's Isabel, isn't it? Look, I
don't know.

Men are such pigs.

Shut up.

No, thank you.

What? The flowers. No, thank you.

It's all right. They're free.

That's as may be, but this is just an
ordinary meal, an everyday event, so

there's no need for flowers. Thank you.

I ain't got my reputation to think of.

Alex.

Edmund.

How are you, Rory?

Alexandra. Very well.

You up for long?

A while, actually. A wee while.

That's good.

Still doing your writing?

Yes.

But I thought I might do it from here.

Well, your dad will be pleased.

Hope so.

London's great, but I realise I can get
everything I want here in lockdown.

And more.

So, gone public, then. Good for you. In
what way?

Rory, actually, he's our first time out
along together.

How exciting.

We can do it.

You've done this before, haven't you?

Mackenzie's. A few times.

How is it, you know, on the toughness
front?

It's tough.

It's not plunging to our death.

I don't know.

You know he fancies you, don't you?

Who? Oh, come on.

If you ever want a job down south, make.

I know what he likes.

His eyes wander.

His beautiful eyes.

Jenny, you should say something.

I know, but... I open my mouth and...

Oh, I don't know.

It comes out wrong.

You know?

Yeah.

See?

I told you everything would be fine.

Champagne, Esme.

Barney, a bottle of champagne for Esme
and myself.

All right.

Is that the ordinary event champagne or
the special occasion champagne you're

after? The doc will see you.

Me, Iamo, Blackie Jr.

What's happened to you?

I found them wandering around up in the
north road. I nearly drove right past

them. This one's Siama Helen.

Helen, he's Siamo's doc.

Doc Brown. Right, that's enough of the
Spanish now, Lucky.

She's exhausted and I think her feet are
in a pretty bad way.

Where's Colonel Maxwell?

He hasn't gone out walking.

He's leading the party.

Has he got those tablets I gave you?

He hasn't been back all day.

Where is he now?

We got to the top of Bendra and then
someone went on up Mackenzie's.

Mackenzie's? He'll be lucky to get back
tonight.

John.

I think we do have a problem.

Un problem.

Right.

I

won't

pretend this is easy.

Once we're past it, it's plain sailing
to the peak and the views of a lifetime.

So if we rope up and take it easy,
there'll be absolutely no problem.

Hello, Johnny.

TV John here, Lockdew Police.

Listen, we need mountain rescue.

TV... John McKeever here, Lockdew
Police.

Listen, we need to scramble MRT.

Okay, dial the number.

Hello, Johnny.

John McIver here, Lockdew Police.

Listen, we need to scramble MRT down
here.

We'll need a Land Rover.

Yes, we've a thick man leading a party
of climbers up Mackenzie's.

We'll need a chopper.

Down to Loch Dew for the dock.

Yes.

Now, there's a few volunteers our end
leaving now.

Right.

Thanks, Johnny.

Right.

I'm not sure I can do this.

Deep breaths, Jenny.

Don't look down.

Think what you'll tell your children.

You okay?

Okay.

Terrible. Aye, terrible it is, right
enough.

What's a man with angina doing leading a
group of climbers?

Ah, well, you see, I would have gone up
to help, but I'm busy learning Spanish

at the moment. And you don't know your
left from your right.

No, no, I have to learn Spanish, because
Dad and me are going pan -European.

These Spaniards are fair crying out for
my crane -crowned lobster.

Local market's not what it was, you
know.

I'm back.

I came back.

I came all this way.

And after all this, when I finally made
up my mind, what if something happened

to Hamish?

He's so ironic.

What is the ironic?

Take a deep breath.

I think we should just take a rest
there.

30 seconds to steal our nerves.

Is everybody happy for 30 seconds?

I can't do it.

Don't lose your nerve now.

And never forgive yourself.

Fear is natural, but don't give in to
it.

That's what this is about.

Conquering it.

Colonel, I think we should turn back
now.

Constable, that's enough.

You've done nothing but undermine this
expedition. I will not tolerate it.

You're risking life here.

I won't tolerate that.

I'm in charge here.

I don't think so.

I'm a police officer, remember?

Ha! Law.

You haven't understood a thing, have
you?

Up here is about escaping the petty laws
of man, the niceties of society.

Up here is where you...

Strip away all that and find out what
people are really made of.

Fearful and dizzied is the cast once I
so know.

Dot, are you all right?

It is a tide in the affairs of men which
take the floodbeats on to fortune.

Omitted, all the voyage of their life is
bound in shadows and in misery.

By such a full sea are we now afloat,
and we must take the current when it

serves, or lose our ventures.

Mother. Isabel, you all right?

Yes. I'm sorry.

Try half. Try and take the weight off,
Jen.

Try half. Try and take the weight off.

I'm slipping.

That's the day you die.

Oh, my God!

He's still alive.

If she's injured, I hope you can live
with yourself.

What do you mean?

She's only here because of you.

Me? Oh, don't pretend you didn't know.

I'm sorry, Jenny.

Not too long now.

I knew it would be something.

I just couldn't figure it out. Only she
did what she could.

Nobody wanted to listen.

A man died.

I know.

I know.

But it could have been a lot worse
without you.

The others who went down.

You could all have... You give some
story now,

eh?

The Scotsman.

I can't give them policemen cut
climbers' rope, can I?

talking about?

What are you saying I had to do? I
didn't have any choice. It was either

Jenny or the whole mob I had to.

But you know what the press are like?

Journalists that have you for breakfast.

But you're a journalist.

I'll have you for breakfast, Hamish
Macbeth.

What are you saying? You're saying you'd
give up that?

For me, give up that story for me.

What did Maxwell say, Dan?

Up there's where you find out what
people are really made of.

I was right about you.

Look at that.

Young love.

Ah, she's a good girl, Isabel.

Aye.

It was just a matter of time.

Hatton.

Hmm?

How would you propose to someone?

Um... If you wanted to marry them?

I don't know.

I'll look it up.

All right, you two, we're here.

They're back. They're back.

Welcome back, lads.

Welcome to the Loch Dew Hotel.

Thank you, boy.

Well, we're back.

Most of us.

I think you say... What?

Will you marry me?

Drink, Isabel.
