All language subtitles for Strathblair s02e09

independent conservative candidate.

Polling station remains open until 9 o
'clock.

That's it there.

I'm sorry. I didn't have time to do
much.

It's all right.

I couldn't eat much anyway.

It's very good we got it all done in one
day.

Yes. I didn't want to pay for an odd
day's hire at that machine.

Not at a pound an hour.

Jenny, I think we've done all we can
here.

We could maybe do with a bigger place.

A bigger place?

Yeah, just something I've been thinking
about.

Oh, yes, since when?

Since I raised this in Scottish Farm.

Percy Tennantsey, Mixed Farm.

Are you serious?

I must be, or I wouldn't have cut it
out, would I?

Well, there's got to be a catch. A
catchy one.

200 acres, that's a catch.

Don't see how.

Well, you'd be paying at least £200 in
rent alone.

And then with dock and implement, we'd
need about £1 ,000 a year, which we

haven't got.

That doesn't say £1 ,000 there.

Well, it wouldn't make any difference if
it said £500. We haven't got it. Well,

what are banks for, eh?

Banks? What guarantee have they got of
getting their money back?

The interest would start from day one.

Alec! You don't like the idea, all
right.

I didn't say that.

We could ask your father for help. He
said if we ever needed it.

Yes, I know he said.

Well, his bank would need some sort of
collateral, which we haven't got.

All right, forget your father.

Alec, we've only just settled here.

seasons, that's all.

We're making real progress.

We've done all right, yes.

But why stop there?

I think we've done all we can here.

And besides, it's hard on you.

You know I don't mind the hard work. I
love it here.

Year after year with no certainty of
anything better that bothers me.

All I do is improve the place for the
Laird.

By the time I've paid all the bills,
there's damn all left.

I can see year after year of hard work
stretching ahead of us.

With a bigger farm, we might actually
make money for ourselves.

You were the one who always said that
Corrie Begg was all you ever wanted.

Times change.

People change.

Yes, I can see that.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm used to Strath Blair. I don't want
to have eggs. And start all over again

somewhere else. And I don't want to
stand still.

Time for me to move on.

Oh.

All I'm saying is somewhere else might
be better for you.

You are not interested in what I want.

Or what I think.

Have you done anything about it?

Not yet, no.

Then I advise you to think twice.

Thank you.

We'd better eat up.

We've got to vote yet. I haven't got to
vote yet.

And I promised Flora and Andrew that I'd
go to the canter. Aye, well, I won't be

there. Yes, you will. You have to take
me. I am bone tired.

Yes, so am I.

Good evening, Mr. McRae. Good evening.

Good evening, Mr. Forbes. Good evening,
Mrs. McInnes.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Mr. and Mrs. Beale, isn't it?

Yes, yes. And Mrs. McCall.

I'm not sure it was the done thing for
the candidate to run voters to the

polling station, but those people live
about ten miles away.

I've marked them down as voting for you.

I wish I was reassured.

Yuning, rather embarrassing to lose my
deposit.

No chance of that.

Strunk Blair, at any rate, put at least
60 % for you. I mean, 60 % stay there

for me.

What about the rest of the constituency?

Well, it's by guess and by God, isn't
it?

But people are worried about the Hydra
scheme. They really are.

Let's hope we register a decent
prototype.

Just so long as I make a good showing,
it'll do.

Evening. Evening.

Well, I think you look rather good,
isn't he?

Prime Minister will be fine. The rest
are lobbying for her.

Well, here's one of your supporters now.

Ah.

Evening, Father.

Ah! Thought you'd have voted earlier.

I put you down as a yes vote for Andrew.

You can't do that. It's a secret ballot.

I wouldn't tell the King my vote.

Don't spoil it at all. I thoroughly
disapprove of this asking people how

going to vote. It's all wrong if you ask
me. 60 % say they're voting for Andrew

in Strathclyde.

Oh, evening. Excuse me.

Look, Andrew, I wouldn't get your hopes
up too high if I were you.

If I didn't have hopes, I wouldn't be
here. Are you sure to go to the Tory?

Always has in my lifetime.

Thank God we can always rely on the
rural vote in Scotland.

Laura. The father down as true blue.

What? Don't put me down as any damn
thing.

Oh, right -o. I'll put you down as a
don't know.

A what? A don't know.

Well, better go in and get it over with,
I suppose.

Make sure you read the ballot paper,
Father.

Before you mark your... I shall.

Barely nonsense.

I think he's a no.

I know he's a no.

Well, it's their time. The Tory will
walk it.

Well, then why bother to vote?

Trust you, it's either that.

Evening, Alec. Evening.

Ah, someone I can count on. Hello,
Jenny. Hello. I'm sorry I wasn't here

earlier on.

We will be coming to the count in
Pitlockery, though, won't we, Alec?

It'll be late.

They're expected around one, I believe.

Too late.

Well, I'm going.

Just one tick there.

Who, surely?

He's Labour.

All the jocks were Labour. Well, all the
conscripts, anyway.

Look, I'd better get on and see how
we're doing elsewhere. Keep up the good

work.

Hurry, babe.

A pint, please.

Bobby?

Busy today?

Aye.

Voting's thirsty work.

So's hanging about. My wife's still in
there.

At the polling station?

Aye, she's helping Mrs McGuinness.

For me, there's damn little difference
between any of them. Well, you can't say

that, man.

They all stand for vastly different
things.

The Tories want to set the people free.
So they say.

The Socialists want to turn us into East
Germany.

Labour. What?

It's the Labour Party, not the Socialist
Party.

I can't see the difference.

Oh, well, then maybe you shouldn't be
voting then.

Ah, begging both of them anyway.

So you voted for the Major, then?

That's my business.

You're an old -fashioned liberal, aren't
you?

I may have been a welcome, but there's
never been anybody for the ordinary man.

Like David Lloyd George.

He'd been in office for 30 years. Even
so.

So it was Labour that got your vote in
the end, was it?

It's a secret poll, Corrie Benn.

So secret that everybody in Strathclyde
knows what everybody else voted.

They know what they say they voted.
That's another thing.

Well, the major stands for something
that matters to us here in Strathclyde.

Ah, something in that, maybe.

The others just want to win so they can
go on blether in Westminster.

The Labour Party has done more than
blether.

It's given us a national health service.

Ah, what type of beverage?

Who was the Liberal?

I understand a little unemployment now.

Very low wages and a hell of a lot of
bureaucracy. Just look at your

from the Department of Agriculture.

Aye, but we get our grants, don't we?

Don't see you refuting yours.

You still know damn all about grants or
farming.

People have had enough of the
government.

Food still in the rations six years
after the end of the war.

Winston will change all that.

If he gets in. You'll get in.

Make no mistake.

Well, maybe he will. But will he do
anything for Scotland?

Well, you might as well go and get a cup
of tea.

We haven't all been in bed.

It's after nine.

The polls have closed.

There's nothing you can do about it now.

What time's the count?

I heard one o 'clock or thereabouts.

I'll be in my bed long before that.

Jenny wants to go to the count.

I might go myself.

Drink up, everybody. Special extension.

Very good.

You were one of those army blokes that
voted Attlee in last time.

Aye, I did. I don't mind telling you.

I say, he's a solid enough wee man.

So, how were the oats this year?

Not bad.

All done today.

Two whiskies, please.

Coming up.

Thank you.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking I
might get a bigger play.

Evening, sir.

Evening. Whiskey, please.

Certainly, sir.

Evening. Evening.

2 and 11.

Get the change.

You know who?

I don't know.

I don't know.

On eventually elections 1951, as
returning officer for the constituency

Perthshire, I hereby give notice that
the total number of votes cast for each

candidate in the election is as follows.

James Ballantyne, 3 ,070.

Walter Henry Barker, 12 ,906.

Major Andrew Mingus, 10 ,902.

And I hereby declare that Walter Henry
Barker is duly elected

as Member of Parliament for the North
Prussia constituency.

I'd just like

to thank all my constituency workers for
their tremendous help.

in securing North Perthshire once again
for me and for our party.

And I'd also like to thank my opponent
for a decent and honourably fought

election, which I hope is going to put
Mr Winston Churchill back again into No.

10 Downing Street.

Thank you.

The Labour Party can hold its head up
proudly in North

Perthshire.

It's going to be a near thing nationwide
and advise everybody to stop counting

their chickens.

It's not over yet.

I too would like to thank my supporters
for all the unstinting work

they have put in on my behalf, most
particularly my agent, Mrs Flora

I am not downhearted by my vote.

I regard it as the most respectable
result to come so closely behind the

candidate, and I can assure you that my
objection to the Hydroelectric Board's

scheme to vandalise and destroy a
sizeable slice of Perthshire farmland is

undiminished. I give you my word on
that.

Thank you all once again.

And here is another result from
Scotland.

North Perthshire has declared for the
Conservatives...

With a 2 ,000 majority... Andrew Mingus.

Labour was third with 3 ,070 votes for
James Ballantyne.

And now for a little more music. Well,
quite a decent showing.

For the Conservative Party, I mean, of
course.

Very young. Andrew didn't do too badly
at all.

but still show that the great efforts
that have been made have not been

unavailing in our country.

There lies before it all a difficult
time, a hard time.

Well, it was an experience.

Was that all right?

Don't be depressed.

No, I'm not depressed.

We had a thousand votes more than I
thought we would.

I did have two candidates against me on
the one issue.

That was a good show.

Coming in for a nightcap?

We're back.

The fire's still in.

Don't stay up.

Whiskey?

Oh, yes, please.

I can't help thinking my whole campaign
was a charade, really.

This year was already decided over port
and to guard in some boardroom in Perth.

It wasn't only the port.

You rallied the local opposition.

Gilmore couldn't ignore that.

Ah!

Well, it looks like Winston has it in
the bag.

Has he indeed?

I thought you'd gone to bed.

No, I just popped upstairs for a moment.

Well, it's been a near thing.

But actually, it's not that tired.

I'm bound to say they've done some good
things, but time for a change.

I don't think my old soldiers will be
too pleased.

Oh, well, soldiers are always a bit
bolshie while they're in uniform.

Once out a bit, they're sensible again.

Well, I'm dead.

I'm away to my bed.

Can I tempt you?

One last one to help you sleep?

Oh, just a small one, then, thanks.

Of course.

Actually, I have a little bit of news
for you that might keep you up

for the rest of the night.

Is that small enough?

Yes, fine.

I've just been on the telephone to
George Gilmore, chairman of the council.

He was still up.

I don't think anyone's gone to bed yet,
anyone.

Father, you know my views on this.

Yes, I do, Andrew, I do, I do, I do, and
they do you credit.

The politics is about reality.

The art of the possible, as Clemenceau
said.

The motion to keep the River Reaskin as
a water resource for the county will be

made public tomorrow.

So you have won.

No hydro scheme.

Hurrah, hurrah.

Three cheers for the old boys' club.

It was all done absolutely above board
and democratically.

What probably influenced them most was
your campaign.

I'd like to believe that, Father. I
really would.

Come on, Flora. I'll walk you home.

Good night, Sir James.

Good night, Flora.

Take a rest now.

What are you doing here?

God, I wish I was doing that.

Of course, it's harder than tilling the
fields. You wait till you're back in the

fields.

I don't know if that'll be at Balbuy.

Talking of which... I think I should go
up there and mull him.

Or you can follow on. It'll give me a
chance to talk to him.

All right.

I need to see Umberto anyway.

But don't forget, whatever your
grandfather says or doesn't say, I want

blessing.

I have to have that.

They might find it a bit curious.

There's bounty.

And it's not even legal, is it?

Does that bother you?

No. Oh, no, not at all.

If we split up, which we won't, then
there'll be no need for a divorce

settlement, will there?

You mean who gets the gas stove?

You would think of that.

Who would want a gas stove once they've
tasted a tender sushi for the count for

that?

These tin suits are very popular.

Whoever had a tin suit, I make my own
suit.

Good morning. Good morning, sir. Can I
help you?

Twenty players, please.

Excuse me, Balduy.

Certainly, sir.

That'll be three and sixpence.

Thanks.

Strut players changed a bit since I was
here last.

And when would that be, sir?

Some considerable while.

I was thinking, sir.

You're a guy like somebody we
remembered.

But, oh, well, you'd say so if you were,
now, wouldn't you, sir?

Tell me, does Phoebe Robertson still
live at the same place?

Yes, up at Cairnburn, like she always
has.

Ah, well, some things never change in
Strathclyde.

Good morning.

Well, sir.

Hi. You're changed.

Stickman.

Thanks.

Good day.

It's him.

I'd bet my life on it.

I'm not sure.

If it was him, he'd have said surely.

I'd think so, wouldn't you?

But if it's not him, it's his double.

Well, it was a long time ago.

It's him.

Now, we're talking about 20 years if it
is.

Well, he was only a step of a lad.

What, 17 when he left?

And that was long before the war.

Oh, well, he'd be the right age for
that.

Went in the early thirties.

Morning. Morning.

Oh,

hello. Is the doctor in, please?

Yes, this is McInnes.

Can I have a word with him, please?

Yes, he's expecting me to call.

Good morning.

Fancy running to Perth? I've a few
things to get.

I can't. I've got too much to do today.

Oh, come on.

I wish I could, but I can't.

Right.

See you later, then.

Oh,

hello, Doctor?

It's Flora McInnes here.

Oh, you did, I see. And, um, what...

I see.

Thank you.

Yes, well, obviously, they're thinking
about... Right, um, goodbye.

Quite glad to see you.

Did the postie tell you? Aye.

Seemed surprised you were asking me,
then.

Well, didn't want to have him any
fevers.

I know.

It's not these.

Can do too much for some people, then
they appreciate it.

By some people, do we mean men?

We do.

And by men, do we mean them better?

We do.

Now, what's wrong with this blasted
machine? It's held me up all day.

The Major didn't win, then?

Nobody made him think again.

I didn't bother voting.

Let's try it now.

There she blows.

You're better than a man any day.

I'm going to have to rush.

Daily from the top.

Connie Begg will still be there when you
get back.

Aye. Huh?

How are they?

Busy.

Giving you the day off, have they?

No, not exactly.

You do like Tansy, don't you?

I've nothing against her, that's it.

Well, I'm not ashamed that we're both
half gypsy.

I know that fine.

The Gypsies are an ancient people, three
thousands of years ago, before the

Chinese or the Aztecs, and long before
the Scots and the Picts.

Aye, I don't need the Astro lessons.

But they haven't changed with the times,
have they?

Why should they?

Did you have any special reason for
coming to see me?

Do I need a reason?

No, but you usually have one.

I've asked Auntie to marry me.

Soon.

Oh, have you now, eh?

Aye.

She'd not be an ordinary wife to you,
would she?

What with this art business to look to.

I don't want an ordinary wife.

Bore me to death.

If you get into the farming, maybe
you'll need one.

But that's your business.

Aye, it is.

And on what will you be living if you do
get married?

We've got our grants.

Well, could you live on that?

Set up house in it?

We won't be setting up house. We'll just
get our furnished bed set or something.

Bed set?

Is that some kind of combined room?

It's the same thing.

So you'd have no money or anything at
the back of you? You'd get married on

nothing at all? Well, lots of people do.

Well, I don't suppose you'd have fortune
yourself.

I had the tenancy of a farm.

I put off getting married while I was
only a farm worker. I waited five years

for the tenancy.

We both did.

Well, people don't wait like that now.

We don't want to.

No.

Maybe not.

So how does this involve me?

Are you asking for my approval or what?

No.

Well, I would be glad... Well, we both
would if you did approve, but... You'll

do it anyway.

I've spoken to her

family.

Her father would like to speak to you.

To me?

You're the only family I've got.

It's usual.

It's usual, I grant you.

But what would they want to talk about?

Oh, no money involved. Don't worry about
that.

Did I say I was worried?

No, you didn't.

So, where are they to be found, these?

Stuart's funny.

They'll be at Kirk Michael next week if
you want to go and see them.

Well, it's 20 miles away.

It'd take most of the day.

Well, if you go, I'll come here and look
after things for you.

You have it all worked out, haven't you?

Well, you have to.

I'll pay your birthday.

I'll pay my own butt there.

Hello.

Oh, thank you.

How are you?

Fine. Can you help me with some new work
I'm doing?

Well, it depends what it is, huh?

Here.

What is it? I need to do some cutting
and welding, and I think the metal might

need to be dipped.

It's interesting, most unusual.

It's a brush, a knife.

Is that significant?

It's a secret.

Ah, a secret.

I see.

Please go on, don't mind me.

No, that's all.

You keep those for a couple of weeks. I
need the work done. I'll see you before

I go back to Edinburgh.

Anytime. Great.

Bye. Bye.

What can I do for you, sir?

Could you take a look at my car for me?

Where is it?

Outside, if you'd like to come and look.

Sure. Lead the way.

Accidentally.

This is a nice piece.

Not bad.

I've scraped the wing.

Here.

This? Oh, this is nothing.

Yes, but she's my little baby, you know.

I like her. In perfect condition.

Do you?

Who's the girl?

She's a dancer's tour. She's a sculptor.

Good looking, isn't she?

Is she?

Have you always worked in metal?

No, not always.

Somebody said you were in Ormond.

Did they?

With Miss Femi Roberts?

Yes, I was.

Why? You know her?

Oh, yes, I know Femi.

Very well indeed.

From a long time ago.

I didn't know you came from these parts.

You don't come from these parts.

She's still on her own?

What do you mean?

Well, if you're not up there anymore,
who's she got helping her?

Nobody.

She managed the farm on her own?

You mean it's a very independent lady.

For this scratch, this is nothing, but
I've got some stuff in the shop to

it if you want, huh?

Fine.

I should have some red paint here.

Ah, here.

You ever thought of doing something a
bit more delicate?

Like what?

Costume jewelry is big in Australia.

Ah, you come from Australia.

But the cost of jewellery... It's cheap
because it's not genuine.

It isn't real diamonds or pearls.

It's imitation.

But it's good imitation.

There could be a lot of money in it.

I see.

All you do is copy the real thing.

Take this, for example.

Ah.

This is a nice piece, eh?

It's genuine.

But I could get us some stones that look
every bit as good as that.

You could?

All you'd have to do is make the
settings.

Oh, I don't have the sort of money to
make this investment.

I'm not exactly short of a dollar.

I've done pretty well in Australia.

You mean you would be interested in
investing?

I may be looking for an interest.

Then we can talk about it.

Aha. Speaking of early, eh? Well, it is
five o 'clock.

I bought this in Perth.

Rather special.

Just for us.

Oh.

Have I missed something?

No, but I have.

What? I'm pregnant.

Are you sure?

Andrew. Sorry. Two months, sure.

I think that's wonderful.

Well, I don't. For God's sake, why not?

I'm two months, Andrew.

No. So everybody in Strathblake can
count, can't they? And don't think that

won't.

Well, I suppose there are some things
with seven -month babies.

Oh, yes, and you find them under a
gooseberry bush.

I am...

I bought this to thank you for all your
help with the election.

Now we really do have something to
celebrate.

Please, let's take the train to London
and get married next week at the

office at Caxton Hall.

Caxton Hall?

That's a society of divorcees and famous
people who happen to be... In the club,

exactly.

Does it really matter?

Well, of course it matters. What will my
family think? Let them think what they

like. No, it's not as simple as that.

Look, you... I might not care what
people think, but I was brought up to

I'm a widow in my 30s, Andrew.

Every old woman in Perth will be saying
to her cronies, oh, you ken the fact

that Strath Blair, the one with the good
conceit of herself, well, she's no

better than she ought to be. She's got
the young lair to get her in the family

way. Don't laugh. It's not funny. I
know.

Come on, they won't say that. They will.

In seven months' time, they will.

You just said it yourself. We're not
children.

I know.

I know.

Oh, Andrew, please, let's get married
soon.

Of course.

But here in Strathblair, at the Kirk.

All right?

That was a fine lamb stew you made.

Aye, she knows the way to your man's
heart.

The tea's very strong.

I hope that's how you like it.

It can't be too strong for me. As hot as
hell, strong as the devil.

I see you've got out the best china.

Aye, I bought your mug and tea.

Oh, fine.

Is it all right?

Aye, you make a canny supper.

Even if it is a mite, Frenchified.

So, what's all this about?

Yes, sculpturing.

Is it making the statues, like the
stookies you see in the middle of

of John Knox and such like? No.

Well, that's what sculpturing used to
be.

Statues of great men and women so they'd
be remembered when they're dead.

I don't do sculpture like that.

So if you're not doing the heads of
famous men, what are you doing?

I'm doing what I know about.

My people.

I want to put our life into sculpture.

So that ordinary folk will look at us
with new eyes.

Well, not prejudiced ones.

Look on us as the last nomads living in
the Western world.

Living a life that goes back before we
learn to farm our lungs.

That's what I'm trying to do.

The best crockery?

Sherry?

It looks like Sunday, but it's not. It's
Friday.

Well, it's something else, too.

I give up. What is it?

It's six months and a week since we
moved back into Corrie Begg after the

That's an anniversary?

Well, I thought we needed something to
celebrate between us.

Did you?

Yes, I did.

Well, I suppose it is six months and a
week.

Maybe you could even have a bath and
change your shirt.

What, dress for dinner?

Oh, go on.

Just this once.

What would I want to do that for?

Who's going to see me?

So at last you've named the day.

Splendid, dear boy. Absolutely splendid.

She's just the girl for you. I've always
said so. For you, for the family, and

for Strathclyde. Here, let me fill you
up.

Thanks, brother. You sound as pleased as
I am.

What? I'm thrilled, dear boy. Absolutely
thrilled.

Well, let me see. Where are we? October?

What had you in mind? A Christmas
wedding?

Nice idea. That saves on all kinds of
things.

Edinburgh, I suppose.

Lots of regimental friends, gods of
honour, that sort of thing. What?

None of that, I'm afraid.

No? No.

Something local.

Strathblare Kirk in, say, three weeks'
time.

Three weeks?

I think the bands take three weeks.

Ah.

Ah, yes.

Oh, just so. Fine.

If that's what you want.

One place is as good as another, I
suppose?

Absolutely. We'll have to let your
mother know. She'll want to come over.

Yes, of course. I'll send her a cable.

Give her a ring tonight.

Well, here's to the two of you.

Thank you.

Hello.

Flora, my dear, I have just heard this
splendid news. I'm delighted. I am

absolutely delighted.

Welcome to the family.

Thank you.

I've just came to Andrew. We'll have to
send for his mother.

Straight away.

I understand that it's to be at
Strathbare Cuck.

That means inviting all our people from
the estate, I suppose.

Oh, and your side, of course.

Well, there's not many of us, just
Mother and Father and my sister Janet,

naturally. Ah, yes, Janet.

Of course, naturally.

Well, we can get all that sorted out,
I'm sure. It's marvellous news.

Can I get you a drink? Oh, yes, thank
you.

Actually, no.

No?

No.

Won't you know, I... I think I'll get a
reasonably early night for once.

Whatever you think, Father.

Well, congratulations and good luck to
both of you.

Good night.

Good night. Good night.

I suppose it's not beyond the bounds of
possibility that in due time,

Strathclyre will have another son in
heir.

That's what we need.

In due time, of course.

Good night.

He wasn't sure until you said no drink.

No, I know.

What are you puzzling over?

Ministry of Agriculture returns.

Not that time now.

On figures I've been working for the
tenancy of that farm I told you about.

I didn't know you'd written to the
solicitors.

No, I didn't. I telephoned them.

Well, you didn't mention it.

No.

What did they say?

Well, they gave me a possible price for
the tenancy.

And it's even better than I thought.

They'll be writing to confirm.

What was this possible price?

£200, but we need another £1 ,200 to get
going. Well, then it's way out of our

league, Alec. We can't raise that sort
of money. No, no, no, no. I talked to

your father on the phone, and he reckons
he can get me £500 without collateral,

but that's his limit.

You took from my father without
collateral? We need £1 ,400, all told.

Alec, this is hopeless. I mean, can't
you see how... Somehow.

The way I see it, this is too good an
opportunity to miss.

You're not listening to a word I say
about this.

I'm going to see if the hands are sharp.

Well, I'll be here when you get back.

I'll be a while.

Go stop thinking today.

Hello, Feeney.

Angus.

It is.

I thought I saw you earlier today in the
hill, but... I thought I was seeing

things. Can I come in?

Well, it's late.

Aye.

I

suppose

I knew you'd turn up someday.

Can I say welcome home to you?

No.

I've thought about you a lot, Femi.

You've done like I let you across the
door.

Well, I don't hate you even if you hate
me.

The old place looks just the same as
when father was alive.

Cold and cheerless.

And I suppose you've been living in the
lap of luxury in Australia.

Some of the time.

Some of the time.

I'm staying at a hotel in Perth.

I've driven up to Strathlair a couple of
times, but... Well, I didn't want to

give you too big a shock.

Oh, that was really considerate of you.

This time of night.

To tell the truth, I was upset the old
man left you the farm.

No news of you for years. What do you
expect?

He was a mean old bastard.

After mother died, he gave us a dog's
life.

And you gave me a bitch's life.

What? What did he tell me never crossed
your mind?

I had a child.

You had what?

Died at birth.

Sorry, Phoebe.

You should be. It was yours.

I pray to God I never see your face
again.

I can believe that if what you say is
true.

It's true.

What did the old man say?

He never knew.

Nobody knew.

It was my secret.

I was born here.

I buried him on the hill.

Him?

I swear I knew nothing.

After all, it was just the one time. The
one time was enough!

We were too close.

I had to get away.

But if I'd known anything of what you
said... You'd never have stayed here.

Well, anyway, I'm here now.

Is there anything I can do? Aye, go.

Don't come back.

Femi. Will you just leave?

All right, Femi.
