Original subtitles

- ( grunts ) - Right, go on.

- Paul: what do you reckon? - Duncan: not bad.

So how about that for a new motor?

- Where's lexie? - Jess: she's inside.

Two words, duncan, "community minibus."

What?

Slight prang. Actually, i'm a very careful driver.

And what, pray, is this?

Fruit and nut flapjack, house special.

I think that's rather a matter of opinion.

- It's what you ordered. - It looks like the reconstituted

Scrapings of the bottom of a parrot's cage.

He's trying his best, dorothy.

The boy's an incompetent.

From what i've seen, all you've done is moan since you got in here.

With just cause.

Take it away.

And i don't expect to be charged.

Call yourself a chef?

You should feed it to the pigs.

It's all it's fit for.

Make your mind up.

I thought you just said you didn't want it.

I hope you're all in the mood for some serious sport.

You can expect some of the best

In the whole of the highlands.

- Fisherman: anything you say, chief. - ( bell tinkling )

- Fisherman #2: what is that noise? - ( faint humming )

- Fisherman: in the woods, are they? - Them wailing woods?

- Is that— it's a bell. - Could you take that?

I'll take that.

What do you make of that?

What sort of madness is this?

- Fisherman: i don't know, what's going on? - Shh!

Ah, just in time.

What's this?

I can't run the estate and the house and the kitchen.

So we decided to have a rota.

I'm down for cooking!

Luck of the draw, mate!

See— hold on, wait a minute, cleaning?

It's only going to be like that for a couple of days.

And then we can all change.

You know where the dusters are, eh?

I've got the outdoor center to run.

Yeah, well, we've all got day jobs.

You'll just have to find the time.

Unless you think that you're not up to it.

I was in the army, remember? Anything that moved, we polished it.

You'll find this place a dawdle then, won't you?

Why is my name not there?

Well, that's just the way things worked out.

But i can do my share.

Yeah, well, i know that you can, but...

Well, it's just that...

We thought with...

His name is andrew, we were together

And now we're not. End of story.

We're just worried about you, molly.

Oh, lexie, stop fussing!

There are some curtains in my studio that need fixing. I'll start there.

Thanks.

Where have you been?

Trying to keep a party of grumpy fishermen happy.

I had to leave them two miles upstream.

- Why didn't you take them across to the island? - I did.

But somebody got there before us.

Dad's not about.

It was you i came to see, really.

Well, here i am.

Oh, uh, here.

- That came for you. - Oh, thanks.

So is he your boyfriend then? This pat?

You read it?

A quick glimpse.

She is a mate.

I don't have a boyfriend.

Duncan!

Hermione. You're back.

Just for a while.

- How are you? - Oh, in the pink!

And you look really fit.

Well, it's lovely to see you.

Maybe catch you later, as they say.

She came all the way up here just to say that?

Are you two back on again?

God no!

The island belongs to the kilwillie estate,

And i don't want to see anyone setting foot on it unless i invite them.

But we've always been allowed use.

- It's like an unwritten agreement. - Then consider it revoked.

- You're doing this because archie isn't here. - I've planned this for weeks.

You wait until i'm in charge, then you make your move.

- Sheer coincidence - You cannot do this.

My dear girl...

I already have.

Right, well, let me tell you this.

We are not going to give up those fishing rights.

The business helps promote the estate and earns us money.

And the chi on the island makes it perfect for spiritual development.

It lies on the intersection of some very powerful leylines.

What on earth?

Oh lord!

You stay right where you are!

It's no use running.

That hooligan from the pub.

He won't get away with this! Oh!

Sit! Sit! Mind my vase.

- ( glass shatters ) - Oh no!

- ( laughing ) - You saw that.

I want you as my witness.

- A witness? - When i notify the police.

Do you not think that's a bit over the top?

I intend to make sure that delinquent gets locked away.

He's a kid. What good'll that do?

Wouldn't you say the laird's first duty is to uphold the law?

- Yes, of course. - In which case,

I shall expect your support.

Oh, for goodness sake, you ghastly little creatures,

Pull yourselves together.

Shoo! Or whatever you're supposed to do.

- Oh! - Calm down, lassie.

How can i? She knows that i'm gonna have to take her side.

I just don't want to get ewan into any more trouble.

What did she say about the island?

- Basically, we've just got to keep off. - That's that then.

No, it's not!

She thinks she can just walk all over us.

I'm not having it, golly.

Golly, we are going to fight this.

Oh, lovely.

- ( humming ) - ( bell dings )

( exhales loudly ) oh, dear,

You'll have to do better than that.

No, these are for my great-Grandfather's grave.

He was laid to rest

Here on the island.

You do know that this is an ancient burial ground?

Oh, that's fine, that's okay,

All i ask is that you treat it with respect,

And try not to disturb my ancestors.

You must think i came down with the last shower.

No, actually, i'm surprised to see you

Here at all at this time of year.

You do know this is the time, according to legend,

This is when the lady of the loch

Comes looking for a human sacrifice.

If it'll make you happy, we'll keep an eye out for her.

No need. What happens is that you see a cross,

And then you hear her coming.

You just make sure that no one's around

When she calls your name.

- Oh, now come on, everybody. - ( bell rings )

The short form.

- You missed a bit. - Oh! Where?

There. And you're a bit behind.

- Everybody else is finished. - Oh, thanks.

- Have you seen molly? - No.

I was going to take everyone down to the pub for a drink,

- To say thanks for helping out. - Great!

But i suppose you'll want to set a good example,

Get this done first.

Yeah, i, uh... I suppose i do.

Well, if dorothy didn't buy that,

Then we're just gonna have to try harder.

It would save us a lot of trouble if we could fish further down the loch.

I am not giving in on this, and i'll need your help.

This is for the sake of the estate?

- Of course, it is. - Seems to me it's getting personal.

Ewan, i don't think that was very clever,

What you did this morning at the castle.

She asked for it. She got me bloody sacked.

So i'd say we're even now.

- That is not how dorothy sees it. - Tough.

You do know she's going to go to the police

- And she's asked me to be a witness for her. - Can't you talk her out of it?

Okay, i'll do my best.

Just don't hold your breath.

Oh. Hi, molly.

- Oh! - Gol, up and sit here.

I didn't see you with the paper, molly.

Hi, molly! Did lexie tell you we'd be here?

- No, just a happy coincidence - Oh, great!

- Cheers. - Cheers!

- Thanks. - We must stop meeting like this.

People will talk. ( giggles )

This is where we first met, remember?

Yeah. I don't mean to be rude, but—

No, i understand. You go sit with your friends.

I just want to say i'm sorry.

I know i behaved very badly,

And it would mean a lot if i thought you could forgive me.

All in the past as far as i'm concerned.

Thank you. You're very sweet.

That's what i miss about you most, i think.

I promised myself i wouldn't do this, but...

It's just i've been so lonely

And seeing you brings it all back.

You've been so understanding.

I must do something to say thank you.

Really, there's no need.

But you'll think i'm ungrateful

As well as selfish and scheming and—

Okay, okay.

Fantastic!

I'm holding a little luncheon party tomorrow, just a few dear friends.

You must come along, just to show there's no hard feelings.

Uh... What time?

11:30 for 12:00.

All right, jess?

I don't think we've been introduced.

I'm hermione.

I know. Jess.

You'll no doubt have heard duncan mention me.

Yes, i have.

I expect he'll be talking about me even more now...

As we're back together.

- Sorry? - I know.

I'm surprised myself, but...

We've managed to put our problems behind us.

- When did this happen? - Just now, didn't he tell you?

Perhaps he doesn't want to go public just yet.

I'll ask him when he comes around for lunch tomorrow.

Duncan. Golly.

Yes! Yes! ( laughing )

- Molly: i made it! - Well...

This is a pleasant surprise.

Well, that's a matter of opinion.

I've been trying to call you.

Andrew, why?

Maybe if we could find somewhere more private.

Whatever for?

I know you're angry, but if we could just talk.

We have nothing whatsoever to talk about.

You know, it's over.

Now, please, if you'll excuse me.

I-I was just leaving.

Molly.

Molly!

I warned you not to hurt her.

Come on, golly, molly needs us.

- Molly: oh! - Paul: so how was it?

Fine.

Don't ask. What, so this is you cleaning up?

- Good morning. - What are you doing at lunchtime?

- Nothing much. - Good.

- I thought that we— - When i say nothing much,

I mean, i've got to pick up a couple of things...

From the village.

Can't you do that another time?

No, it's got to be today.

I'm free this evening, though.

Sorry, i'm washing my hair.

- Okay, golly? - Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Oh! - Well caught!

Lexie on p.A.: testing, testing, one, two, three.

If dorothy wants to play dirty,

Then so can we.

That looks like an exciting job.

Tell me about it.

It would be easier with two.

- Are you offering? - Yeah, maybe.

- And what's the catch? - Well, the thing is...

I'm not getting on too well with this cleaning thing.

Right, so if i help you, you'll help me.

- Huh. - Go on then.

Great. One more thing.

There's— there's no need to say anything about this

- To anybody. - Do you not want lexie thinking you can't cope?

Yeah, something like that.

Then it's our secret.

- I'll get my gear. - Okay.

- What are you smiling at? - Nothing.

Right, everybody. The tiger yawns, and...

So how does it feel being the local heartthrob, eh?

What's that supposed to mean?

- All these girls taking a shine to you. - Yeah, like who?

Like your little friend from the distillery.

- Amanda? - Mm-Hm.

That's early days yet.

Anyway, that's only one.

Well, maybe there's someone a bit closer to home.

You're such a typical man!

You have no idea, do you?

So, tell me.

- Jess. - ( chuckles ) oh, behave yourself.

- I am being serious here. - So where did you get this from?

Just call it female intuition.

Ah, yeah, well, you've got it wrong.

She's a pretty girl.

Yeah, but not my type.

And golly's daughter.

I suppose that could be a bit awkward.

Maybe i should have a word with her.

Yeah, maybe you should.

I hope you saved me something. I'm starving.

There you go.

Oh, great!

- Is that it? - No, of course not.

Milk and sugar.

You and jess are mates, right?

Aye.

Has she—

Has she said anything to you about me?

- Like what? - Well, like... She's got...

You know, a thing about me?

- She has? - Yeah, apparently.

Have you noticed anything different about her?

I suppose so.

- ( bell rings ) - ( humming )

- Can you hear that? - Dorothy: camilla,

It's only the wind.

Now,

It's time for your individual meditation.

So i want you all to find your own me-Space

Where you feel most centered.

The important thing is to block out all distractions.

Right, where do you want to start? Top or bottom?

Eh?

I'm ready if you are.

Actually, i think we should forget this.

I'm probably better off doing it on my own.

And getting out of helping me with that netting?

No way. We've got a deal.

- Where is everybody? - You're the first.

So do you fancy a little nibble while we're waiting?

Peanuts or cheese sticks?

Um, thanks.

- Thanks, mate. - No problem. Where are you heading?

Wherever i can get a lift to.

- How far are you going? - I'm going back to my cottage for now,

- But when i'm packed, i'm driving down to london. - I'd love to go to london.

The sooner i get started, the better.

I tell you what, you give me a hand with the packing,

And i'll drive you all the way down.

And there's a few quid in it for you too.

Right, you're on.

( lexie with eerie voice ) camilla...

Camilla.

Camilla.

( quietly ) one down.

How's it going?

Jess?

Sorry, i was miles away.

Can i ask you something?

Yeah, of course.

If somebody likes somebody else,

Somebody that they work with, say,

Do you think that they should

Come out and say it, or try and find out

If the somebody else feels the same?

Are we talking about anyone in particular?

No, no, hypothetically.

Probably best to wait,

Save a lot of embarrassment all around.

Yeah. No, you're right.

See? Not just a pretty face.

Do you mind telling me what's going on?

It seems like your friends didn't find the island

Quite so spiritual after all.

- I don't think they'll be rushing back. - You won't get away with this.

Isn't that your boat there?

Come back!

Come back!

Come back!

Did you know that shellfish are very good for the libido?

Oysters or langoustine?

Shouldn't we wait for the others, hermione?

Or we could make the most of being alone.

Hermione, i-I— i need to go...

To the little boys' room.

Hermione...

Always so shy, aren't you, tiger?

There is no party, is there?

You win some, you lose some, dotty.

With role models like you around,

It's no wonder there are young thugs roaming the streets of glenbogle.

- Just give him another chance, eh? - To do more damage?

Lexie, our boat's gone.

I'm glad you think it's so funny.

Funny? It's hilarious.

Because if we're stranded, then you're stranded too. ( mimics laughter )

- ( grunts ) - ( phone ringing )

Hermione, can't we talk about this?

- Hello? - Hello.

I was wondering if you could give me some information

- About your retreat. - Retreat?

- Yes, yes, i wanted to... - ( screaming ) help!

- Hello? - Help! Help!

- What on earth is going on? - I'm terribly sorry,

One just can't get the staff these days.

Duncan!

Help! Somebody!

I just want to talk to somebody about escaping!

So you're not interested in getting another job locally?

I think it may be best if i disappear for a while.

That bad, eh?

Nah, it's time i went off and saw a bit of the world.

This is just the push i needed.

What do your folks think?

That i'm mad, but they love it around here.

I can't wait to get out. A bit like you.

I never thought i'd leave this place.

I've got nothing to stay for anymore.

Who is this?

That's my son.

He lives in sydney these days.

- When did you last see him? - Five years ago.

He was like you, couldn't wait to get away.

Leaving's easy.

Coming back that's hard.

- We could swim for it. - Pigs might fly.

- ( giggles ) - Too cold, far too dangerous.

( sighs ) well, one of us could try signaling.

If we go down there, they might see us.

Okay, we'll give it a whirl.

- Lexie: golly? Golly? - ( golly moans )

Are we going or not?

( molly calling ) dorothy? Dorothy?

Dorothy?

Did you hear that?

What?

Somebody called my name.

Is it your blasted loudspeakers again? Listen.

- Dorothy? Dorothy? - That sounds like—

The lady of the loch.

- I thought you made all that up. - Yeah, we did. Ha ha!

What are you doing here?

I wanted to get away from everything

- And get some peace and quiet. - Dorothy: never mind all that,

- How did you get across the loch? - In the canoe.

- Where is it now? - It's tied up down there.

Dorothy?

- Golly? - I'll be all right. It's nothing, molly.

Dorothy!

Dorothy! Quick!

Dorothy, don't!

Dorothy, be careful. It's an old boat.

- Be careful! - Dorothy: pesky boat!

- There's already a hole! - ( both gasp )

So, jess, we've...

We've never really talked, have we?

- You and me? - We talk every day.

No, i mean, talk properly,

About life and stuff.

Okay, what do you want to say?

Well, i...

I hear you used to go out with your university lecturer.

- Is that true? - Yeah. Never again, though.

Age gap too much, was it?

No, no, no. I prefer older men.

I've just given up on academics.

I'm more into the outdoor type now.

Why do you ask, anyway?

No, it's just... It's— it must have been difficult.

That's all, relationships between work colleagues.

How often are they successful, eh?

True. But then you never really find out unless you try.

Duncan!

What the hell are you playing at?

- Duncan: sorry. - Sorry?

- Are you all right? - I'm alive— you psycho!

I'll get a rope.

( laughing ) look, i'm sorry it's not gucci,

But it's the best we can do.

Blasted midges, driving me to distraction.

Testing, testing, one, two, three, four. Testing!

- Help! Help! - Lexie: i think the battery's flat.

I'm sorry, but i'll need to sit down for a bit.

We could be in trouble here. I'm not happy about his wound at all.

We could be here for hours, days,

Before anyone even notices we're missing.

The least we can do is start to build a fire.

I'll go get some wood. Come on, dorothy, you as well.

- I beg your pardon? - Molly: if you jump about,

You'll keep warm.

Hello. Come on, what are you waiting for?

- Thanks! - No, thank you.

It would have taken me ages on my own.

You can't be good at everything.

That's right. I'm terrible at relationships,

Never had any luck at all. In fact, i...

I pity the next woman that gets involved with me.

Right. Do i need to know this?

I think you do. Yes.

Why?

Well, because of...

Because of the way you feel.

I've got absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Please, this is embarrassing enough as it is.

- Don't make me say it. - Say what?

You fancy me!

I'm— i'm— i'm very flattered—

- But, i-I don't. - Let's just be adult about this.

Paul, i don't think of you like that at all.

- Really? - Really.

( sighs ) thank god for that.

- Thanks. - No, i'm not saying that. It's just that i'm—

Not interrupting anything, am i?

( together ) no.

Paul, where's the tow rope?

It's in the shed.

- Why, what have you done with the land rover? - ( sighs )

So much for a bit of peace and quiet, eh?

I just wanted to get away, you know.

- I'm sorry. - Don't be.

You were right all along.

I wish i hadn't been.

I should have listened to you.

Well, won't happen again. I'd rather be on my own.

How many times have i told you? You've got years left.

If you waste them because of what's happened,

Then he really has stolen something from you.

You're a good friend, golly.

Where would i be without you?

Probably not stuck on this island.

( chuckles) well...

Now i am here,

I can't think of anybody i'd rather be stranded with.

- Thanks for that. - No problem.

Open the bonnet, we'll make sure there's no damage.

I should be off. I've got a loch to restock.

I could really do with a hand if you're not too busy.

Sure.

So, where are you off to then?

Just fancied a break, that's all.

Right. Matches?

I haven't got any.

Don't look at me.

Waste of time collecting all that then.

I might have known, though, really.

Excuse me! If you hadn't been so desperate to be

The first one in our lifeboat, we wouldn't be here.

- You started all this. - How do you work that one out?

- It's obvious. - You have to have the last word?

No.

So where was it you were going?

London.

Oh, yeah? How long for?

Don't know yet.

There is another way, you know.

What are you talking about?

To sort this out.

Admit you made a mistake and apologize.

No way i'm apologizing.

Why don't all of you just get off my back? It's my life!

I tried talking to him. Wouldn't listen to me.

Why should he?

It seems to me you're both doing the same thing.

- What do you mean? - You're both running.

And both leaving a mess behind you.

Except he seems to have beaten you to it.

You and paul seem to be seeing a lot of each other.

God, don't you start.

I've just had to put him straight on a couple things.

I know the feeling, i won't be a minute.

You're doing my nut in.

- I'm sorry. - What for?

Locking the door on me, or causing an accident?

- That wasn't supposed to happen. - But it did.

- We could have been killed. - I know.

Listen, it is over between you and me.

- You've got to move on. - You're right.

Right, so...

From now on, will you leave me alone?

If that's what you really want.

It is, yes.

Might i see you later then, darling?

Just try it a wee bit faster.

I can't stand much more of this! It's hopeless!

We're not giving up yet.

- Golly: you want me to do it? - Molly: no, i did it in the girl guides,

- I can do it again. - Okay, okay, okay.

Oh no...

Come on, molly.

See, it'll be better now.

Yes.

- Duncan: lexie? - Jess: dad?

- Paul: have you seen molly? - Have you seen lexie?

- No. - Where is everybody?

- Paul: weird. Is anybody home? - Jess: it is a bit spooky.

Hang on a minute. Come and have a look at this.

Can you see that smoke?

- Where are we going? - You're not. I want you in the kitchen.

If they've stuck, they'll want hot food. And it's your turn to cook.

- What will we do? - Paul: haven't got a clue. I'll think of something.

Does anyone fancy a dram?

Oh, yes, yes please.

Here you go.

Maybe being stuck here won't be too bad.

- Or... Maybe we can get off after all. - Golly: huh?

Look!

Are you thinking what i'm thinking?

( whimpers ) it's no use. I can't reach it.

Oh, for goodness sake, i've had enough of this.

What are you doing?

Being wet didn't kill me before,

And i don't suppose it will again.

- Dorothy? - Molly: be careful.

- Golly: careful. - Lexie: dorothy, be careful.

Mind yourself on the rocks.

- Lexie: nice one, dorothy! - Molly: well done, dorothy!

Now all we need,

Is something waterproof to block that hole.

I didn't see anything. We must have scoured the whole island

When we were looking for the wood.

Maybe i should start a range

Of black plastic swimwear.

Right, we're gonna need two people in here—

One to paddle, and the other one to hold this in place.

First thing you do is find me something to wear.

It's just you and me then, lass.

- No way. - I rather think i've done my bit.

No, i wasn't meaning you.

I meant there is no way, golly, you are getting in this canoe.

- We don't know how bad your injuries are. - I'm fine.

I'll come with you. We can do it.

Okay.

Right. I think we're all set.

Before you go,

I owe you an apology.

Some of the things i said earlier, i wasn't being fair.

No, i'm sorry.

This whole stupid sabotage thing,

It was all my idea.

I should have listened to you, golly.

You know, i just...

I just wanted to be taken seriously.

You know, earn a little bit of respect?

Well, you have, repairing the canoe.

That was a team effort.

Every team needs a leader.

We're in your debt.

Maybe there is... Something you could do for me.

- If i can. - Ewan.

( sighs ) that vandal.

Come on, he's just a kid.

Please don't go to the police.

( sighs ) all right.

But i'm not letting him off scot-Free.

He can jolly well clear up

The mess those animals have made

With my herbaceous borders.

I will make sure he does.

Are the onions ready yet?

Oh!

Careful.

Have i done something to upset you?

No.

I thought we were supposed to be mates.

- We are. - Why won't you tell me the truth about you and hermione?

- You two are an item again, aren't you? - No.

You went round for lunch. She told me.

Nothing happened.

Yeah, how many times have i heard that?

What's it matter, anyway?

I-I don't like being lied to.

You're not. She's a bampot.

Honestly, she won't leave me alone.

Why?

Because she wants us to get back together.

Tell her you're not interested.

I've tried, believe me!

She won't take no for an answer!

Come here.

What are you doing?

Hermione's out there.

If she thinks we're together, she might back off.

- We shouldn't be doing this. - What do you mean?

We've got to work together. And you're my best friend's daughter.

Yeah, it was just to help you out.

It didn't mean anything.

- Of course not. - Right. Good.

So far, so good.

Yup. Nearly there.

- Uh-Oh, uh-Oh. - What?

- We're starting to ship water. - What?

- Yes. - Well, get it out.

We're sinking. We are sinking. Go faster.

I'm trying. I'm trying. Help! Help!

Oh my god!

Keep going! Keep going!

- Keep paddling! - Help!

- Help! - ( both screaming )

Quick!

- Give me your hand. - Come on.

- Andrew: are you all right? - Lexie: yeah.

You took your time.

- I had the cleaning to do, didn't i? - ( chuckles )

It's only a scratch.

- You came back then? - Aye.

You were right.

It's time to face the music.

Well, now's your chance.

Good luck.

I don't want you to say a word, young man.

Not even if it's "sorry"?

Apology accepted.

I won't be taking the matter further— this time.

That's brilliant. Thanks!

Nice one!

If you hadn't have turned up when you did...

I'm glad i came back.

I think we all are.

Won't you come for something to eat?

Time to hit the road.

I'm sorry, molly,

For everything.

I'd never take you back, you naughty boy. ( chuckles )

But i do forgive you.

I'd like us to part as friends.

Yes, so would i.

Goodbye, molly.

Goodbye.

Good luck!

Thanks for the clothes, lexie.

I'll bring them back as soon as i can.

Make sure you leave enough time to stop and have a coffee.

- Nice to have a proper chat. - Absolutely.

The first thing we should talk about is shared fishing rights.

Sorry?

If the island's not going to be a sanctuary,

Kilwillie estate might as well make some profit.

Mmm, this is wonderful!

Please pass my compliments to the cook.

Perhaps you can tell him yourself.

It's okay,

Maybe a touch less salt next time.

- I'm glad you like it. - What is it?

Lentil and bacon.

Maybe you could go and work in the pub again?

So, are you looking for a job?

Do you know of anything?

After the rescue job you made on his soup—

Hey! I don't think you could do any better.

Perhaps i won't have to.

Are you thinking what i'm thinking?

Well, the rota wasn't a success.

If it give us more time for our real jobs,

It makes financial sense.

We'll give you a go, see how it works out.

Duncan.

Don't you ever give up?

I'm not here to see you.

In fact, if i never see you again, it'll be too soon.

No, it's her i wanted to speak to.

I need to warn her what she's letting herself in for.

I hope you're satisfied now.

- He's all yours. - Listen, hermione—

Just don't be surprised if he breaks— your heart

Like he's broken mine.

Goodbye, duncan.

That's not how it looks.

It's not! ( sighs )
