Bring her in, fly.

Well

done.

Let her be, woman.

Don't go crossing her.

You look as if you've lost sixpence and you've won a penny.

I've a feeling I've lost more than a sixpence.

Aye, what?

I seem to be too short.

Too short, eh?

I'm sure I counted right.

I'm sure you counted disappointed.

Jenny, please!

There's none left in the hill. How's that?

Two sheep missing.

Oh, you're not the only one.

So? Three gone from the Australian.

You too.

Plus a couple myself.

What about you?

I'm all right.

So far.

Somebody's been busy.

So we can forget thieves, then?

Not at all.

There's at least seven others. What about them?

Good

morning.

Morning.

Anything new on the sheep, Thief?

Another gown from Delphi, I've heard.

Sir James tells me you're thinking of resigning your commission.

Oh, does he?

That's a big step.

Well, Father's getting on. I really should be thinking of settling down

He seemed concerned your interests might lie elsewhere.

To the detriment of the statue?

Possibly.

Well, that depends.

Femis. No sign of injury.

And must have exhausted itself running from them.

I'll speak to Thargen, Brodie.

Would you be happy working for me?

I could think so.

You wouldn't suddenly take off to fresh fields.

I like it here.

I've got a lot to learn. I need your help to...

Show me the ropes.

And also, I'd like... To get on with your art dealing?

Of course I'll help all I can.

But your father will be around for a while yet.

Why he has to be so bad -tempered with me?

It's not my fault the sheep are gone.

That's right.

Quality gates, sir.

Metal. Last a lifetime.

Maybe.

But I can't say if we buy.

We must see the mistress.

Is she here?

Evening, maybe.

Fine. I'll be back.

I don't think that they were doing it. We don't know what.

Quality gate, sir.

Metal. Lack of lifetime. Hang on.

Don't I know you?

Sergeant Major Ritchie.

Corporal Spears.

Don't he recognise you there? Aye, well, tivies make a difference.

There.

I did it.

You did none so bad.

Is life? I know it's a bad.

In the lake?

It's just a whale to heal, but I get around.

Could be worse.

Might be for sight the other day.

Local with Quint, remember?

Hoping around the city in a wooden fit.

Been nicely for himself.

Is this your farm, then?

Aye. All mine.

Rory!

Hoping I'll be back, will you?

Tell you what.

I'll sell you a gate half -price.

All time's sake.

My partner.

That's all.

Hey, KTS.

Hi.

That's your driver.

Right.

Come in two sizes.

You'll need the big one.

Cut it up.

I'll have to think about it.

I'll make you a good offer.

I'll tell you what.

Let's meet up sometime when we talk about it over a thing.

See you, son.

Did you know that man?

Ah, he was in my unit.

In the desert, in Italy.

Until he copped it.

Brodie's on the lookout.

It's only himself and Mackenzie.

Can he cope?

Time will tell.

Shut those leaves.

I mean, no -one's seen sight or sound of anything suspicious.

No of the area, I reckon.

The comings and goings of the people.

Not seen much of your eye -tie lately.

What's he up to?

An errand for me, Macrae.

So? What do you think?

Is it the same as before?

Yeah, it will.

Then yes, I can do. But the manic practice will be more, huh?

We can discuss that.

If you put as much energy into laying the planks and the fire as you put into

those cards, you'd maybe have the job finished by now.

Lazy. Good for nothing.

I tell you, boy, if that job is not finished by the weekend, I will tough

out.

Well, but we said I'm not doing so bad.

No.

I never reckoned to have to cope with sheep thieves.

What? Your cat.

I don't want to hear about any bloody cat. Stop swearing. I have been awake

the night with blasted sheep in my mind.

You're not in the army now. Oh, I wish I was.

What do you mean?

You cannae hold a sheep, you ruin my dog.

What do you mean, wishing you were back in the army?

God knows.

I'll tell you something I do know, though.

What?

You cannae be sentimental on a farm.

Mother.

I found it in the barn.

Alec's going to do it up for me.

Si.

Yes, but he hasn't had the time.

So I got it out to see if I could do anything with it.

You?

I need transport.

Can't always be waiting for Alec to be free to take me into the village or the

town. Well, you could ask Umberto.

What, to transport me? No, to fix the bike.

Really? Yeah.

Yeah, you would be in no trouble.

Umberto?

I have a saddle and other things.

Yes. Seven shillings?

Well, Alec... Okay.

Six shillings, eh? A bargain.

Have a good worker.

All right.

Thank you.

What the devil are you up to?

I'll be out in the ocean.

Then get into the village and get some more.

And what was he doing with that bike?

He's going to mend it for me. I said I'd fix it.

You said you'd fix it days ago. I need it now.

And what did he expect in return?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Thought you'd be finished.

No, not quite.

Some tea?

Why not?

You've made it quite homely in here.

A woman's touch.

I found some of my mother's paintings.

Rather good.

Splendid little portrait.

I'd like to show you, if you're interested.

Of course.

Good luck to you.

Are you around the estate this morning with your father?

Is there a problem?

No.

Good.

how is she?

very well.

living in edinburgh now.

married?

no.

lecturing. university.

two clever sisters.

will you have dinner with me tonight?

i'm sorry i can't.

thank you

Two halves, two half tight.

Brave lady.

I've drunk in pubs all over Britain.

What was good enough in the war is good enough now.

Yeah, what are we talking about?

I can fix the war.

See you later.

What kept you?

Oh, a bit of business.

Aye, I saw your lorry out there.

Who has lorry?

It's mine.

I bought it with my gratuity.

Pretty clapped out.

Patched it up myself.

What about a girl?

I'm a good mechanic.

The army trained you?

Aye.

But who wants a female mechanic in peacetime?

So I started on my own.

College business.

This was my first vehicle.

I've hired her.

Didn't you say you were partners?

I were.

In a way.

I heard you sold the gate.

Aye, a woman at Canban.

Some folk know a bargain when they see one.

Oh, aye.

Did you see anything of the Major at all?

I'm saying.

What? The Major.

Do you know for these parts?

Aye, I've seen him around.

Funny, really.

What is?

Well, you ended up in his part of the world.

We met when he came out of hospital.

Good for you.

A little drink?

Why not?

Thank you.

Buongiorno, signorina.

That looks a good job.

Grazie. It's for Signora Ricci. I've mended it.

Maybe you should do something for my old rattle trap.

It would be my pleasure.

Looking good here.

I make it like in Italy.

Why do you never go back, Umberto?

There's nothing for me there.

And I like the people here.

Well, lucky me.

I picked for you, eh?

Long time since someone gave me flowers.

I'm missing another ewe.

I'm okay.

That is, I was this morning.

I checked with Femi.

She's only lost the dead one.

Lucky Femi.

Aye.

What do you think of the Aitai?

Him?

Smooth type.

Wouldn't he trust them much?

No.

For you, senor.

Oh.

How very... kind. I'm very fond of rabbit.

It will need skinning, of course.

No bite, eh?

Ah, yes, the fleas, perhaps.

It's so English.

Why? Because I don't like fleas?

No, your eyes, your face, your voice.

Yes. Please do sit down.

You see?

You're so English.

Communist North Korea.

invaded the independent southern half of the nation at dawn today.

The invasion came without warning.

Within a few hours, troops and tanks of the Northern Army had stormed across the

38th parallel, the agreed border between the two states, and had occupied all

the territory north of the Imjin River.

The shock of this attack is ringing around the world.

It seems certain to bring the Western Allies and the Communist bloc into

conflict.

It's wonderful.

It's like new.

Better than new.

I must pay you.

Yes.

This is a good machine, eh?

Aye.

Most any more use at Caramban?

No. We are lucky.

We certainly are.

Thank you very much.

My pleasure, signora.

No feed.

I'll collect it tomorrow.

Will you want it lifted?

No, thank you.

I must try out my new bicycle.

Umberto!

Umberto!

Sergeant Brodie would like a word with you, Umberto.

Just a general check.

This sheep thieving.

Oh, this is a very bad thing.

Mr. Phoebe Annie.

Fabiani.

Yes, well...

Now, on the night of the 16th of this month... What about it?

Just I'd like to ask Mr.

Fabiani to give me an account of his movements on that night.

Movements? Two hogs went missing at Balbuie, Mr.

Fabiani.

I'm sure I was not at Balbuie, sir.

No, he wasn't.

Can you be certain of that?

Fairly certain.

I'll actually be looking further into this matter, Miss Robertson.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello there.

We brought your gate. I didn't know I ought to be one, Corporal.

Ha, right.

Why Bob doing the rest when you can manage?

I might never manage.

We're old mates, aren't we?

Come on, what do you think?

Seems OK.

All right, then. 30, Bob.

That's the spirit.

I'll square up you by the end of the week.

Put us on.

Alec. Huh? Oh, well, I can't remember.

Aye, well, apart from the sheep thieving.

Rarely made any progress.

I can't expect to be everywhere.

I just hope Balbuie doesn't catch up with the thieves. He's likely to take a

shot at them. You can't do that.

What's this Korean business?

Korea?

The invasion.

Oh, aye.

Not up to date.

Don't get to be prepared for so much these days.

Well, Truman sent in air and naval forces to support the South.

Endorsed by Attlee.

Anyway, I think it's not good.

They'll have us back at war again before they're finished.

Right.

We should have a dram sometime.

We should.

Then show off.

That Alec in the town.

I thought you usually went down with him.

I don't do him better and I have a measure of independence.

Which I like.

You don't look yourself.

Look, not this time.

Remember me?

No. No!

McIntosh tip you off? No.

No, he did me! Aye. Well, we'll sort him out when we get back.

Get off the roof!

If you can't eat pain, don't play.

25 quid's a lot to do.

Look, I'll get it for you.

My first thing tomorrow, I'll get you the bike, I'll get it.

Now you better.

Mummy would die seeing me offering the package.

She likes everything just so.

Afternoon tea on the little table with the little silver cake forks and the

little embroidered napkins. And you miss it.

Yes, I miss my friends.

That's only natural.

It was all right at first. There was so much to do and there were new things.

It was so lovely being with Ali.

Phoebe, he doesn't understand the way I feel.

He says I'm not a farmer's wife.

I'm not.

He says I'm very silly with animals and... Why one can't like animals and be

farmer's wife, I don't know.

It's ridiculous.

He's taken on a lot.

So have you.

It's just not what I thought it was going to be.

Not at all.

Farms where I come from are sort of... lush.

Here it's like a fight from start to finish.

You ought to get out more.

Out? I spend my whole time out.

I dread to think what I'll be like in the winter. No.

We should go out.

To the pictures.

The pictures?

Aye. We have a travelling show in the village hall.

And you could join the rural institute.

Oh, is that like the WI? Aye.

Saved a lot of lonely women going mad.

Sheep thieving.

Sergeant Brodie's been questioning Umberto again.

Umberto?

Just because he's a foreigner, everyone's suspicious and... Oh, I know.

Look, Jennifer.

I can vouch for Umberto's whereabouts most nights.

You're a good man.

Hello there.

I saw your lorry.

Thought I'd hang on to pay you.

Looked to get the gates closed.

Spend the roadies.

What else do you do then?

This and that.

I'll be seeing you soon, Major.

Strong like a man, eh?

What to be?

Buono.

Very buono.

It's a good strong gate. Well worth the money.

I got a bargain.

Perhaps. I could have mended the old one, eh?

There they go.

Rather good, don't you think?

Andrew, I just wanted to say about Janet.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge.

Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out.

Well, it was just one of those things.

War didn't help.

Neither did my father.

Your father?

Oh, he had his own plans for me.

The estate.

Sometimes I wish I'd been born ordinary.

I mean, without responsibilities.

I found several of those.

Strange, you never mentioned leaving them behind.

You've kept in touch.

But Sir James... Not a word.

Promise?

I think this is the last.

Why? We're just getting into the swing of it.

Come on.

Delivering the gate, Tom? What?

No. Mr Collins here was just settling his account with.

Seems like I saw a lot of money for a gate.

Well, he had more than one gate.

Mind if I look in your shed?

Have you a search warrant?

I could fetch Brodie.

Look if you want to.

You've been slaughtering in here.

So? My lambs!

And ball boobies. And those cranes. Aye, if you bring them here. Or if someone

else was to steal them.

You should be careful what you say, Sergeant Major.

You're not in the army now.

There's a lot of libel.

You're too clever by half.

I know.

I'm wasted selling gates.

Right. You've made your packing. Now get out of this area.

We're leaving for Glasgow tonight anyway.

Good. Stay there and don't show your faces round here again.

I might just take the law into my own hands.

Tom.

Find yourself another partner.

Let's get going.

I'll see you.

Large whiskey.

I got two.

I thought you were a beer man, Alec. Need something a wee bit stronger right

now. Huh?

Flight altercation over the gate.

You've not been happy with these two crooks.

All of you.

We made a mistake, Wilbur.

Same again.

No, no, allow me.

What are you up to now?

Heading back to Glasgow?

Don't worry, you've seen the last of us.

Collins?

We'd best meet with Brodie in the morning.

What's

the

latest in Korea, then?

Cutting ourselves deeper in the mire, if you ask me.

Royal Navy to aid Americans?

The entire Fari fleet from the Catholic disposal.

Once again, America and Britain find themselves associated in a noble cause.

If there's real trouble, you could be affected.

You're a reservist.

But the thing is, would I go?

Old Collins, I knew the best part of 40 years.

Fine man.

You'd think his memory tarnished by that wishful of a son.

Aye. Well, maybe we're all a bit the wiser.

Aye, maybe.

I think she's got kittens somewhere.

If I could find them, I'd like to keep one.

Take a look in the old shepherd's bothy above the barn.

Have you seen them?

Well, they're too wee to leave their mother just yet.

Where did you get the lamb, Jenny?

There was only one butcher.

There was only one butcher.

He sold us our lamb.

Well, at least we know the meat's good.
