MONARCH OF ALL YOU SURVEY.

NO ONE COULD OWN ALL THIS.

EXCEPT THE LAIRD OF GLENBOGLE.

I CAME UP HERE TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THAT.

DID IT WORK?

I WOULDN'T GO THAT WAY IF I WAS YOU.

LEXIE, YOU'RE IN NEW ZEALAND.

I DON'T NEED ADVICE FROM A DAYDREAM.

- ( clears throat ) - GRACE.

SORRY. HANG ON A MINUTE.

DOESN'T THE ROAST LOOK SPLENDID?

- YEAH. - SORRY, I DIDN'T CATCH WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.

EXCUSE ME.

ALL THAT PALAVER OVER EWAN'S COOKING.

YOU DON'T LIKE WHISKY

AND YOU DON'T LIKE THE BAGPIPES.

CAME TO THE WRONG PLACE, DIDN'T YOU?

DON'T. SOMETIMES THAT'S JUST WHAT I THINK.

PEOPLE CALL ME THE LAIRD,

BUT I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FRAUD,

LIKE I DON'T DESERVE IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DESERVE IT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT.

I NEVER WANTED THE TITLE, OR THE KILT,

OR THE CEREMONIAL SPORRAN.

I JUST WANTED WHAT ARCHIE HAD.

WHAT DID ARCHIE HAVE THAT YOU DON'T?

( laughs ) IN YOUR DREAMS, PAUL.

Radio announcer: Good morning.

You're listening to Scotia FM,

your oldest friend in the Highlands.

GOLLY.

GOLLY, ABOUT YESTERDAY,

I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU. I'M JUST...

NOT MAD ABOUT BAGPIPES, THAT'S ALL.

I'M NOT OFFENDED, SON. EACH TO HIS OWN.

BUT I TAKE IT YOU WON'T WANT THEM PLAYED AT THE LOCH BLESSING TOMORROW.

THE LOCH BLESSING?

YEAH, I WROTE THE WORDS OUT FOR YOU.

THE LAIRD BLESSES THE LOCH ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING.

OH YEAH, RIGHT, RIGHT.

WHAT FOR EXACTLY?

SO THAT THE FISH WILL FLOURISH AND THE BEASTS WILL BREED.

WHAT, THEY CAN'T MANAGE THAT ON THEIR OWN?

MAYBE, BUT IT'S AN OLD MacDONALD TRADITION

AND I USUALLY PLAY THE PIPES, BUT—

COULD WE LEAVE THEM OUT YOU THINK?

I MEAN, IF WE WANT THE FISH TO BREED

LET'S NOT SCARE THEM OFF, EH?

ANYTHING YOU SAY, PAUL.

GOLLY, I WANTED TO RUN SOMETHING PAST YOU.

LOOK, PAUL, YOU DON'T NEED TO SEEK MY APPROVAL ALL THE TIME.

YOU JUST MANAGE THE ASSETS OF THE ESTATE AS YOU SEE FIT.

WELL, THAT'S JUST IT.

YOU ARE OUR BIGGEST ASSET.

LOOK, THERE ARE DOZENS, HUNDREDS OF ESTATES IN THE HIGHLANDS

CRYING OUT FOR YOUR SORT OF EXPERTISE.

I'D LIKE TO HIRE YOU OUT AS A CONSULTANT.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'LL BE SOMETHING IN IT FOR YOU.

A CONSULTANT?

WHO'S GONNA BE THE GHILLIE HERE?

YOU WOULD. BUT JESS WOULD DO THE DAILY GRIND.

YOU COULD KEEP AN EYE ON HER AND STILL HANDLE PLENTY OF CLIENTS.

I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR A SUIT, DO I?

- ( device beeping ) - ARE YOU LOST?

I HOPE NOT. THIS IS A G.P.S. UNIT.

I KNOW, BUT YOU'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND IN CIRCLES SO LONG

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOUR BATTERIES HAD GONE FLAT.

ACTUALLY I'M CHECKING THE GRADIENT.

SO YOU WORK FOR THE NEW LAIRD?

YEAH, YOU COULD SAY THAT.

TELL ME, IS HE A TOTAL MORON?

OR DOES HE JUST NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS ON HIS ESTATE?

ON THE CONTRARY, HE'S EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT.

AND HE'S DAMN GOOD-LOOKING AS WELL. BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

IT'S YOU, ISN'T IT? YOU'RE THE NEW LAIRD MacDONALD.

- ACTUALLY, THE NAME IS BOWMAN. - ISOBEL ANDERSON.

HOW DO YOU DO?

YOU SEE THAT FARMHOUSE? IT BELONGED TO MY GRAN.

WHEN SHE DIED TWO YEARS AGO I WAS TOLD I COULD HAVE THE LEASE.

I'VE COME BACK AND I FIND THAT JOE REAVEY

FROM NEXT DOOR'S MASSACRING THE LAND.

HE'S KNOCKED DOWN DRYSTONE WALLS, FILLED IN THE POND AND YOU LET HIM.

I'VE NEVER SPOKEN TO MR. REAVEY.

MacDONALD PROMISED ME THAT LEASE.

MAYBE I SHOULD TALK TO HIM.

HE'S IN NEW ZEALAND.

UH— ( beeping ) IT'S THAT WAY.

IS THAT IT?

YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET JOE REAVEY WRECK MY GRAN'S FARM?

AS FAR AS I'M AWARE, THAT FARM BELONGS TO THE ESTATE.

BUT I'LL SPEAK TO MR. REAVEY AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, OKAY?

YOU CAN GO HOME NOW.

I AM HOME.

WANT TO BORROW THIS?

- YOU NEED IT MORE THAN I DO. - COW.

- EXCUSE ME? - I WAS JUST THINKING...

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT PASTURE FOR COWS.

- CREEP. - SORRY?

OR SHEEP.

ISOBEL ANDERSON'S COMPLAINED TO ME

THAT YOU'VE TAKEN OVER HER GRANDMOTHER'S FARMLAND.

WHAT? SHE ASKED ME TO.

SHE SAYS YOU'VE AND FILLED IN PONDS.

THOSE WALLS WERE FALLING DOWN ANYWAY

AND THE PONDS ARE A DREADFUL HAZARD TO CHILDREN.

THAT ISOBEL, SHE'S CUTE, BUT SHE'S A CITY GIRL.

SHE'S INCLINED TO GRAB A BULL BY THE TEATS.

SHE CERTAINLY GRABBED ME THAT WAY.

THAT LAND WAS OVERGROWN AND WATERLOGGED, I WAS ONLY TRYING TO IMPROVE IT.

NAME IS PARKER, SCOTTISH RADIO BOARD. LOOKING FOR THE SHERIFF.

THE SHERIFF? YOU TRY THE SALOON?

THAT'S ME, MR. PARKER.

SHERIFF REAVEY. THIS IS MR. BOWMAN, THE LAIRD.

UNDERSTAND YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLES WITH ILLEGAL TRANSMISSIONS.

WE CAN'T GET SCOTIA F.M. ANYMORE. JUST THIS DREADFUL RACKET.

NOT TO WORRY, I'LL HAVE THIS SORTED OUT BY TEATIME.

HAVE TO CATCH HIM FIRST, WON'T YOU?

RANGE AND SIGNAL DETECTORS.

MOBILE TRIANGULATION. DIGITAL DRIFT ANALYSIS.

I'VE TRACKED DOWN SIX PIRATES IN ONE DAY.

DOUBT THIS ONE WILL BE ANY TROUBLE.

WHAT WILL YOU DO? HANG HIM FROM THE YARDARM?

- I'LL SEIZE HIS EQUIPMENT. - OH.

UNLICENSED RADIO TRANSMISSION IS AN OFFENSE, MR. BOWMAN.

EVEN LISTENING TO ONE CAN BE AN OFFENSE.

JUST AS WELL I DON'T THEN.

THANKS, MR. REAVEY.

- Lexie: HOW'S HIS LAIRDSHIP? - STOP IT.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH FROM THE TENANTS.

I'M TRYING TO GET THIS PLACE ORGANIZED,

GET PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

BUT IT'S LIKE POLISHING YOUR SOCKS.

YOU'RE NOT IN THE ARMY ANYMORE.

- GLENBOGLE HAS ITS OWN WAYS. - NOW YOU TELL ME.

IT'D BE A LOT EASIER IF YOU WERE HERE.

PAUL, WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

LEXIE! I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

I SAW YOUR CASES IN THE HALL AND I THOUGHT

WELL, IT CAN'T BE!

- HEY! SEE ANY HOBBITS? - DID YOU FORGET YOUR TOOTHBRUSH?

I WONDERED WHY YOU HADN'T PHONED. WHY DIDN'T YOU LET US KNOW YOU WERE COMING?

- KIND OF SPUR OF THE MOMENT. - HOW'S ARCHIE GONNA MANAGE WITHOUT YOU?

HE'LL BE FINE. HE'S NEVER OUT OF THAT VINEYARD.

- IN FACT, I BROUGHT A COUPLE BOTTLES WITH ME. - HERE THEY ARE!

- SOUTHBOGLE CABERNET. - ( all chuckle )

SO HOW LONG ARE YOU HERE FOR?

JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS. BANK'S BEEN A PAIN ABOUT CLOSING ACCOUNTS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL US? WE COULD'VE SORTED IT OUT FROM HERE.

IT FEELS WEIRD DRINKING WINE RIGHT NOW.

MY HEAD STILL THINKS IT'S 8:00 IN THE MORNING.

WELL, FOR ONCE I'M GLAD THE BANK IS BEING A TOTAL PAIN

BECAUSE IT MEANS WE'VE GOT OUR LEXIE BACK FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

I KNOW YOU AND ARCHIE ARE STARTING A NEW LIFE IN NEW ZEALAND,

BUT WELCOME HOME ANYHOW.

WELCOME HOME.

WHAT, DOES IT NOT TRAVEL WELL?

UH, NO, IT TRAVELS FINE.

IT JUST DOESN'T DO ARRIVING VERY WELL.

SO WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT IN THE LIBRARY?

ARE YOU LOSING YOUR MARBLES OR SOMETHING?

I THOUGHT THAT WENT WITH THE JOB.

DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL THE BANK, FIX AN APPOINTMENT?

HOLD YOUR PONIES. I HAVEN'T EVEN UNPACKED MY BAGS YET.

NO, IT'S NO RUSH. IT'S JUST I WAS CALLING THEM ANYWAY.

I'M GONNA PHONE ARCHIE

AND THEN I'M GONNA TAKE TO MY BED.

I DO STILL HAVE A BED, DON'T I?

YEAH, OF COURSE.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

JOURNEY WAS FINE. EVERYBODY'S FINE.

I LOVE YOU, ARCH.

AND I MISS YOU.

THREE, TWO, ONE.

THEY TRANSMIT ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH AS SCOTIA F.M.

- AND DOES NO ONE COMPLAIN? - NO.

- ALL THEIR LISTENERS ARE TOO SENILE TO— - ( volume fades )

TO NOTICE.

SO, ARCHIE DOING OKAY?

NOT REALLY.

WHAT?

HE'S JUST TAKEN TOO MUCH ON.

HE WON'T LISTEN TO ME.

HE WANTS TO DO EVERYTHING BY HIMSELF.

YOU ASK ME, HE NEEDS HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN.

CAN'T REPLACE GOLLY.

( chuckling ) NOT GOLLY, I MEANT YOU.

OH, RIGHT.

D'YOU WANT ME TO GIVE HIM A RING?

THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO ON THE END OF A PHONE.

WHAT ELSE COULD I DO? FLY OUT?

WHY NOT?

YOU SERIOUS?

DUNCAN, ARCHIE MISSES YOU.

OKAY, I MISS YOU TOO.

THINK ABOUT IT. IT'D BE GREAT.

THE OLD TEAM BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

YOU NEEDN'T TELL ANYONE I ASKED YOU.

- ( horse whinnies ) - JUST THINK ON IT ANYWAY.

DJ: Sorry, folks, but that's all we've got time for today.

Your favorite station will be back same time tomorrow.

- Keep it Rob Roy. - ( softer music playing )

HOW'RE YOU DOING? LOVELY DAY.

- YEAH, WONDERFUL. WHAT'S IN THE BAG? - WHAT BAG?

THIS BAG? MUSHROOMS.

A BIT EARLY IN THE SEASON, ISN'T IT?

THEY'RE IMPORTED.

I JUST PICKED THEM UP FROM THE AIRPORT.

TONY PARKER, SCOTTISH RADIO BOARD.

THAT'S A RELIEF. I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE TERMINATOR.

I AM. OPEN THE BAG, PLEASE.

UH, I DON'T THINK SO.

HEY, I'M ASKING YOU TO OPEN THE BAG.

AND YOU CAN ASK, BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE ME. CAN YOU?

WELL, ENJOY YOUR WALK.

YOU CAN PROBABLY PICK UP SOME GOOD RADIO STATIONS WITH ALL THAT GEAR.

SEE YA.

NO WELLIES?

I LEFT THEM IN EDINBURGH.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE BOTHERING.

MY GRANNY HATED SLUGS.

FROGS USED TO KEEP THEM UNDER CONTROL TILL REAVEY FILLED IN THE PONDS.

YEAH, I'VE SPOKEN TO MR. REAVEY.

- DID YOU ASK HIM ABOUT MY CATTLE? - CATTLE, WHAT CATTLE?

12 HEAD OF HIGHLAND CATTLE THAT BELONGED TO MY GRAN. WHERE ARE THEY?

HOLD ON. IS IT TRUE YOU ASKED REAVEY TO LOOK AFTER THIS LAND?

NO.

WELL YEAH, LOOK AFTER IT, NOT RAVAGE IT.

I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GONNA DRENCH IT IN PESTICIDE AND CUT DOWN MY GRAN'S WOOD.

IT'S NOT YOUR GRAN'S WOOD. IT BELONGS TO THE ESTATE.

HAVE YOU TOLD HIM THAT? LOOK, IF HE CARRIES ON LIKE THIS

THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT OF MY GRANNY'S FARM.

SO MUCH FOR THE LAIRD'S PROMISE.

IF I LEASE THIS PLACE TO YOU,

WHAT WILL YOU DO? FARM IT YOURSELF?

- I HAVE A JOB. - FINE.

I'LL GET A MANAGER AND I'LL COME UP THE WEEKENDS.

BUT FARMING IS HARD WORK. IT'S NOT A HOBBY FOR NICE GIRLS FROM EDINBURGH.

LOOK, I'M MORE OF A HIGHLANDER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE, MR. BOWMAN.

THEN YOU SHOULD'VE COME UP HERE BETTER PREPARED, SHOULDN'T YOU?

I'LL GIVE YOU A MONTH TO FIND SUITABLE TENANTS.

AFTER THAT, IF REAVEY WANTS THE LEASE HE CAN HAVE IT.

HERE, YOU MISSED ONE.

YES IT IS, I THINK.

SORRY, I'M REALLY SORRY.

I HAD TO SORT OUT SOME— WELL, ANYWAY, THE LOCH BLESSING.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, WE HAVEN'T BEEN HERE THAT LONG.

OH, I SHOULD CHANGE.

OH, NO, I CAN'T KEEP YOU WAITING ANY LONGER.

RIGHT.

MAY THE OPEN HEART BE FILLED WITH—

NO. UH...

MAY THE OPEN HAND BE FILLED—

I'M SORRY, IT'S GONE RIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD.

NO, UH, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

MAY THE OPEN HAND BE FILLED THE FULLEST;

MAY THIS SPRING BRING FORTH NEW LIFE.

HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING?

DON'T YOU DRINK FROM THE CUP?

YOU'RE JOKING?

- MM, I'M GETTING BLACKBERRIES. - ( snorts )

- ARE WE DONE? - YEP.

OH, PAUL, DON'T DISAPPEAR.

IS THAT IT?

DOES THE WATER NOT PART OR ANYTHING?

YOU WANT ME TO ORGANIZE A STAKEOUT?

SOMEONE'S BEEN STEALING MY ORCHIDS.

- I JUST NEED GOLLY FOR A FEW DAYS. - NO, GOLLY'S GONNA BE BUSY.

- WELL, DUNCAN THEN. - MOLLY, I'M SORRY.

I CAN'T SPARE ANYONE TO BABYSIT A PLANT.

VERY WELL, I'LL DEAL WITH THESE VANDALS MYSELF.

IF WE CUT A MAIN DITCH HERE, IT CAN DRAIN OFF ABOUT 60 ACRES.

- ALL POTENTIAL PASTURE. - RIGHT.

UH, SORRY, BUT WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THIS?

BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE PROJECT.

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT REDEPLOYMENT.

JESS TO LOOK AFTER THE GAME AND WILDLIFE,

YOU TO TAKE CHARGE OF LAND IMPROVEMENT.

I MEAN I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE ESTATE.

THAT'S YEARS OF WORK.

YEAH, I KNOW, BUT THAT'S JUST IT.

I'M REALLY FLATTERED, PAUL, BUT IT'S JUST...

- I MIGHT NOT BE AROUND. - HOW D'YOU MEAN?

( chuckling ) MOLLY!

OH, BLAST IT!

YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE ME.

HAVE YOU BEEN AT THE PLANT FOOD OR SOMETHING?

CAMOUFLAGE, SILLY.

- HECTOR TAUGHT ME THE RUDIMENTS. - LOVE THE EYESHADOW.

OBVIOUSLY NOT WELL ENOUGH, OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED ME.

I THINK THE ROSES WERE A MISTAKE.

I CAN'T USE WILDFLOWERS. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.

SOMEONE'S BEEN DIGGING UP OUR ORCHIDS.

GOOD NEWS— WE'VE GOT US A CLIENT.

A GUY CALLED JENKINS OVER IN CAIRNLOCHAN.

OKAY.

IT'S NOT EVEN THAT FAR, JUST OVER THE HILL.

UNFORTUNATE TURN OF PHRASE.

OH, COME ON, GOLLY.

WE'RE NOT PUTTING YOU OUT TO PASTURE, WE'RE PUTTING YOU OUT TO STUD.

WE'RE MAKING THE MOST OF OUR ASSETS.

THERE'S MORE TO BEING LAIRD THAN ASSET MANAGEMENT.

- ( growls ) - Paul: THIS ABOUT THE LOCH BLESSING?

LOOK, I KNOW I GARBLED IT.

IT'S JUST A RITUAL. IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT MUCH, DOES IT?

IF IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU, IT DOESN'T MATTER NO.

SO YOU'LL VISIT THIS GUY JENKINS THEN?

- I'LL MAKE SURE HE'LL GET HIS MONEY'S WORTH. - GREAT.

THANKS.

LEX.

UM...

ABOUT NEW ZEALAND,

I'D REALLY LOVE TO COME.

- THAT'S BRILLIANT. - I JUST NEED TO ASK JESS.

- JESS? - UM—

I'D WANT HER TO COME WITH ME.

YOU SEE, THE THING IS

I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HER.

DUNCAN, I HAD NO IDEA.

NO, NEITHER DID I, TILL NOW.

THAT'S AMAZING.

I KNOW. IT IS, ISN'T IT?

I MEAN SCARY, BUT...

I REALLY DO.

- DON'T TELL ME. TELL HER THAT. - YEAH.

OH NO, DEFINITELY.

IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT HER

AND SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY ABOUT YOU,

THEN DON'T WAIT.

SEIZE THE MOMENT.

LIKE YOU AND ARCHIE DID, YOU MEAN?

YEAH, LIKE ME AND ARCHIE DID.

- ( birds chirping ) - YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M GONNA DO IT.

- OH. - THANKS, LEX.

NONE OF MY GUESTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CATCH

A DAMN THING FOR WEEKS.

NOTHING BIGGER THAN SPRATS ANYWAY.

THE PROBLEM IS, MR. JENKINS,

IS THAT YOUR POND IS ALL FISHED OUT.

IT'S NOT A POND, IT'S A LOCH.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN FISHED OUT?

WELL, A POND OR A LOCH THIS SIZE

CAN'T SUSTAIN YOU AND YOUR GUESTS EVERY WEEK OF THE YEAR.

YOU HAVE TO LET IT RECOVER.

YOU HAVE TO THINK OF THE SYMBIOSIS.

SYMBIOSIS?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GHILLIE, NOT A LATIN TUTOR.

THAT'S GREEK ACTUALLY.

JUST SHOW ME WHERE THE BLASTED FISH ARE HIDING, WILL YOU?

AND BY THE WAY, SINCE WE ARE PAYING FOR YOUR SERVICES,

WOULD IT BE TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR YOU TO LOOK

PRESENTABLE?

YOUR LAIRDSHIP.

UH, JUST PAUL, SHERIFF REAVEY.

CALL ME JOE, PLEASE.

SHERIFF'S JUST AN HONORARY TITLE FOR SERVICES

- TO THE OLD BOY NETWORK. - BIT LIKE MINE, THEN.

HAVE YOU SEEN YOUNG ISOBEL YET?

SHE SEEMS TO THINK YOU'VE BEEN CUTTING DOWN THE WOOD BEHIND HER FARMHOUSE.

JUST SOME COMPASSING, THAT'S ALL.

APPARENTLY YOU'VE GOT SOME CATTLE THAT BELONGED TO HER GRAN?

WHAT'S SHE GONNA DO WITH A DOZEN HIGHLAND COWS?

I DOUBT SHE'S EVER KEPT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN A HAMSTER.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT WOULD BE SIMPLER IF YOU TOOK OVER THE LEASE.

SHE'S VERY ATTACHED TO THAT HOUSE,

BUT I SUPPOSE.

FOR NOW, I'VE GIVEN HER A MONTH TO FIND TENANTS.

TENANTS? EXCELLENT IDEA.

WELL, IF SHE CAN'T, WE'LL SIGN THE LEASE OVER TO YOU.

LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE A LAIRD WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

IS IT? YOU'LL HAVE TO POINT HIM OUT TO ME.

JESS!

MOLLY, GET THE ROPE.

IT'S DUNCAN! IT'S DUNCAN!

I KNOW IT'S DUNCAN, I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF IT WORKS.

JESS! ( spits )

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

RUSTLERS, SOMEONE'S AFTER OUR ORCHIDS.

WOULDN'T IT BEEN EASIER JUST TO LAY MINES?

YEAH, BUT IT'S MORE FUN THIS WAY.

WHERE DID YOU TWO SPRING FROM ANYWAY?

OH, IT'S SNUG, ISN'T IT?

IT'S ONLY MEANT FOR TWO.

- COFFEE? - OH, UM—

- SANDWICH? - UH...

- CHOCOLATE BISCUIT? - THANKS VERY MUCH.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ANYWAY?

I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU. I WANTED—

PLEASE, KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN.

WE DON'T WANT TO TIP THEM OFF.

—TO TALK. I MEAN, ALONE TALKING.

AN OSPREY. THAT'S THE FIRST ONE I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR.

AND I HEARD ABOUT ISOBEL ANDERSON.

YOU KNOW ARCHIE WAS KEEPING THAT LEASE OPEN FOR HER.

LEXIE, ARCHIE LEFT, YOU WENT TO JOIN HIM.

I'M THE LAIRD NOW. AND IT IS MY JOB—

IT'S MY DUTY

TO RUN THIS PLACE THE BEST I CAN.

WHY ARE YOU BEING SO—

YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE YOU RESENT MY COMING BACK.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.

THERE'S NO PROBLEM AT THE BANK THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE SORTED OUT FOR YOU.

- YOU GET INVOLVED IN EVERYONE'S BUSINESS. - I'M TRYING TO HELP.

WHY'D YOU WANT DUNCAN TO GO TO NEW ZEALAND

WHEN YOU'RE NOT EVEN SURE YOU'RE GOING BACK YOURSELF?

SOMETHING HAPPEN BETWEEN YOU AND ARCHIE?

NO.

LEX, COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE.

BUT LET ME DO MY JOB, OKAY?

DID YOU SPEAK TO JESS?

YES.

UNFORTUNATELY, SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

YOU'RE NORMALLY SO ARTICULATE.

I'M JUST TERRIFIED SHE'LL SAY NO.

I THINK I FRIGHTENED HER OFF ONCE BEFORE

BY BEING A BIT... KEEN.

LET ME SEE THAT.

IS THAT THE SAME RING YOU OFFERED TO ME YEARS AGO?

I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D REMEMBER.

I MEAN, YOU HARDLY LOOKED AT IT.

NO, I CHECKED IT OUT. I'M A GIRL.

SHE'LL LOVE IT.

YOU MUSTN'T BE AFRAID.

I WANT A WILD AND ROMANTIC WEDDING.

I SHOULD HOPE SO TOO.

LIKE THE ONE YOU AND ARCHIE HAD

UP IN THE HILLS,

MAKING YOUR VOWS TO STAND TOGETHER

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED.

IF JESS AND I COULD HAVE A WEDDING AS MAGIC AS THAT,

THEN I'D BE THE HAPPIEST MAN—

- Molly: NOW! - ( grunts )

YOU'LL NOT DIG UP ANY ORCHIDS TODAY.

LET ME GO! LEAVE ME—

- MOLLY. - STOP!

- HE DOESN'T HAVE A SPADE. - ( Molly groans )

- ( panting ) - HUH.

MOLLY?

- WHAT'S GOING ON? - I'M AFRAID Mrs. MacDONALD

- NEARLY GOT HERSELF ARRESTED. - WHAT?

SHE AMBUSHED YOUNG MR. PARKER

WHEN HE WAS IN PURSUIT OF A RADIO PIRATE,

TRUSSED HIM UP LIKE A CHEAP ROAST.

I'M SURE THERE'S A SENSIBLE EXPLANATION.

EXPLANATION, YEAH. SENSIBLE, NO.

JUST AS WELL YOUNG PARKER REPORTED IT TO ME.

- I'LL STRAIGHTEN HIM OUT, DON'T WORRY. - THANKS, JOE.

WHILE I'M HERE,

I THOUGHT I MIGHT JUST TAKE YOU UP ON YOUR OFFER.

THE LEASE ON THE ANDERSON FARM.

I CAN'T, JOE, NOT YET. I GAVE ISOBEL A MONTH TO FIND TENANTS.

THAT HOUSE IS BARELY FIT FOR PIGS, NEVER MIND PEOPLE.

I DON'T KNOW, I'VE GOT A FEELING

SHE'LL MANAGE IT JUST TO BE AWKWARD.

ANYWAY, I CAN SEE YOU'RE A BUSY MAN.

ALL THESE FRISKY RELATIVES RUNNING WILD IN THE WOOD.

RIDICULOUS LITTLE MAN!

HE EVEN WANTED JESS ARRESTED AS WELL.

MOLLY, YOU ASSAULTED SOMEONE OVER A FLOWER.

IT'S A PROTECTED SPECIES.

YOU'RE THE LAIRD, PAUL, IT'S YOUR DUTY TO PROTECT GLENBOGLE.

IF YOU LET THE ORCHID GO, WHAT NEXT? THE OSPREY, THE OTTER?

EVERY PIECE OF GLENBOGLE

IS A PART OF THE WHOLE.

YES, IT'S ONLY A FLOWER! BUT WHEN IT'S GONE

SOMETHING WILL BE LOST FOREVER, SOMETHING PRICELESS.

AND ALL BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO PIGHEADED TO LISTEN.

OH, HEY, PAUL. HAVE YOU SEEN LEXIE ABOUT?

SORRY?

UH, NO, NO, I'M—

I WAS JUST SPEAKING TO HER ABOUT ARCHIE.

ABOUT THE DAY THEY GOT MARRIED IN FACT.

AND THEN SHE JUST... RAN OFF.

ISN'T THIS WHERE YOU GOT MARRIED?

YEAH.

WE MADE OUR VOWS

AND HE KISSED ME AND THE STARS FELL OUT THE SKY.

I THOUGHT NO MORE HEARTACHE, NO MORE DOUBT.

DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MARRIAGE.

IS THAT WHY YOU ASKED DUNCAN OUT THERE?

'CAUSE YOU WERE LONELY?

IT WASN'T FOR HIS MANAGEMENT SKILLS.

ARCHIE'S STILL ARCHIE.

HE'S FULL OF MAD IDEAS

AND GOING OFF LIKE A ROCKET WITH ME

ATTACHED TO THE STICK.

I MEAN, HE'D CONSULT ME

AND THEN I'D FIND OUT HE'D ALREADY MADE THE DECISION.

SO I TOLD HIM TO STUFF HIS VINEYARD AND THAT I WAS GOING HOME.

I MISSED HOME.

ONLY NOW I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE HOME IS.

THIS IS YOUR HOME, LEXIE.

IT'LL ALWAYS BE YOURS.

WONDER IF IT'LL EVER BE MINE.

YOU STILL WANT ME HERE?

EVEN THOUGH I SPREAD SEDITION?

OF COURSE I WANT YOU.

I MEAN WE ALL WANT YOU HERE.

WE GOTTA GET OFF THIS HILL.

( Lexie screaming ) OH GOD!

OH, IT'S FREEZING.

I'LL GO AND GET SOME FIREWOOD.

- YOU'RE SOAKING. - CAN'T GET ANY WETTER.

HEY, DON'T SIT DOWN, KEEP MOVING.

YES, SERGEANT MAJOR! OH!

YOU DRY UNDER THAT?

( grunting ) PRETTY MUCH.

- YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT JUMPER OFF, IT'S SOAKED. - NO, I'M FINE.

HERE, COME ON, TAKE IT OFF.

LOOK THAT T-SHIRT'S BOGGED AS WELL. HERE.

I GOT AN IDEA. HERE, TURN AROUND.

JUST SNUGGLE UP BEHIND ME.

THERE, OKAY?

OH, THERE.

- FEELING THAT WARMTH? - YEAH.

WE'LL MOVE ON AS SOON AS IT STOPS RAINING.

( chuckles ) I'VE SEEN IT RAIN ROUND HERE FOR A FORTNIGHT BEFORE.

LISTEN,

WHAT I WAS SAYING ON THE HILL EARLIER,

I JUST COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO TELL ANYONE. SO THANKS FOR LISTENING.

THAT'S OKAY.

I'M NOT MUCH OF A LISTENER.

WELL, YOU'LL SOON GET THE HANG OF THAT.

MOLLY DOESN'T THINK SO.

SHE'S BEEN TEARING STRIPS OFF ME.

GOLLY WANTS TO BUT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING.

GOLLY'S ROOTED IN GLENBOGLE.

LIKE THE MOUNTAINS.

YOU KNOW, A LASER PEN AND A LAPTOP WOULDN'T MAKE HIM A CONSULTANT.

I SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.

YOU'RE A BETTER LAIRD THAT I'LL EVER BE, LEXIE.

YOU SHOULD BE LAIRD AGAIN.

I CAN'T.

I'M NOT REALLY HERE.

YES, YOU ARE.

IT'S A LOVELY DAY FOR A BARBEQUE.

QUITE A FIRE YOU TWO HAVE GOT GOING.

WE GOT CAUGHT IN THE RAIN.

IT STOPPED RAINING A WHILE AGO.

SO NO COAT?

I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE BETTER PREPARED BEFORE YOU CAME UP HERE.

SNOOTY BLOODY JEMIMA AND HER DESIGNER WALKING BOOTS.

SHE SEEMED NICE ENOUGH TO ME.

SHE'S UNHINGED, PARANOID.

SHE'S CONVINCED JOE REAVEY WANTS TO STEAL HER FARM AND CUT THIS WOOD DOWN.

- DOES HE? - NO, I'VE SPOKEN TO HIM. HE'S JUST BEEN—

WHAT?

SHE'S NOT THAT PARANOID THEN.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

GET OFF MY LAND! STOP!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

BILLY!

OY, THAT'S MY KEYS!

- WHAT'S GOING ON? - LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW.

- WHAT'RE YOU DOING OVER HERE? - I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ME TO—

DOWN THAT COWSHED, NOT THAT COW'S—

I MEANT HIM TO DEMOLISH OUR OLD BYRE.

IT'S A SIMPLE MISUNDERSTANDING.

- OH, ANOTHER ONE. - I'LL PAY FOR ANY DAMAGE.

YOU WANTED TO WRECK THE PLACE SO THAT I WOULD NEVER FIND TENANTS.

OH, COME ON, I WANT YOU TO FIND TENANTS.

TELL HER, PAUL, WILL YOU?

SOMEONE'S BEEN CUTTING TREES DOWN IN THE WOODS.

DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT COMPASSING MEANS?

I'M SORRY, PAUL,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE MY BOY OUT AND SHOOT HIM.

IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE.

JUST GET THIS THING OUT OF HERE, JOE.

EINSTEIN, GET THIS THING OUT OF HERE.

CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT HE'S DOING?

HE'S SELLING UP THE TIMBER FROM THE WOODS. AND LOOK AT THIS PLACE.

IT'S MORE LIKE A DEMOLITION SITE THAN A WORKING FARM.

IT'S NOT A WORKING FARM.

IT MAY BE A HOLIDAY HOME, IF YOU CAN FIND ANYONE MUG ENOUGH TO RENT IT.

IF YOU ASK ME, REAVEY'S DOING YOU A FAVOR.

THEN WHY DID YOU STOP HIM?

BECAUSE THE LAIRD MADE A PROMISE

AND I AM GONNA KEEP IT.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS GOING TO WORK?

I DID RATHER GET INTO HOT WATER LAST TIME.

LOOK, IT'S A TEXTBOOK DESIGN, TRIED AND TESTED.

"HUNTING THE BENGAL TIGER."

OH, LOOK, HE WON'T GET HURT.

APART FROM BREAKING AN ARM MAYBE, OR A LEG.

- DUNCAN! - Molly: SHH!

CAN— WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

THOSE ORCHIDS ARE A PROTECTED SPECIES.

AND YOU ARE COMMITTING AN OFFENSE

UNDER THE WILDLIFE AND COUNTRYSIDE ACT.

- DUNCAN, CALL THE POLICE. - AYE, CALL THE POLICE.

MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE SHERIFF AS WELL.

I'M SORRY YOU NEVER GOT YOUR PIRATE TO WALK THE PLANK.

DON'T WORRY. YOU'VE HEARD LAST OF ROB ROY.

IT'S COMING FROM GLENBOGLE HOUSE.

BILLY? THE SHERIFF'S SON?

HE'S NOT WORRIED ABOUT PROSECUTION. HIS FATHER SENT HIM.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, ASK JESS.

OF COURSE I BELIEVE YOU, MOLLY.

AND I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO YOU MUCH EARLIER.

I'M STILL KIND OF NEW AT THIS JOB.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.

- YEAH, A GOOD KICK UP THE BACKSIDE. - ( chuckles )

JOE! JUST THE MAN I WANTED TO SEE.

- WHAT'S GOING ON? - SORRY ABOUT THIS.

IT'S COMING FROM THAT TURRET.

HE THINKS SOMEONE'S BROADCASTING FROM YOUR HOUSE.

FROM HERE? I DON'T THINK SO.

YEAH, THE FLAGPOLE. THEY'RE USING IT FOR AN AERIAL.

YOU BETTER LET HIM IN.

IF HE GETS IN TOUCH WITH THE BOARD, THINGS COULD GET VERY UNPLEASANT.

AFTER YOU.

- ( pop music playing ) - ( door rattling )

WHO'S IN THERE?

OPEN UP! OPEN THE DOOR!

PAUL, I'M KIND OF BUSY.

DEAR, OH DEAR, THIS IS REGRETTABLE.

- YEAH IT IS. - PROUD OF YOURSELF, ARE YOU?

I'M PERFORMING A PUBLIC SERVICE.

- ( music stops ) - I'M SEIZING THIS EQUIPMENT.

- THIS YOUNG MAN WILL HAVE TO FACE CHARGES. - HOLD ON A MINUTE, JOE.

STRICTLY SPEAKING, YOU SHOULD FACE CHARGES AS WELL.

IT'S A SORRY BUSINESS.

IF ONLY WE COULD COME TO SOME SORT OF ARRANGEMENT.

- WHAT D'YOU MEAN? - MR. PARKER, CHECK DOWNSTAIRS.

SEE IF THERE'S ANY BACKUP EQUIPMENT.

GOOD IDEA.

I KNOW THAT YOUNG ISOBEL IS VERY FOND OF THAT HOUSE.

I AM TOO.

I'D HATE TO SEE IT GO UNDER THE RUSHES.

IT WON'T, IF SHE FINDS TENANTS.

MY BILLY WILL BE THE TENANT.

GET THAT NIT OUT FROM UNDER MY FEET.

WHAT'S THAT?

A LEASE ON THE ANDERSON FARM.

IT'S ONLY A FEW ACRES OF BOG AND GRASS,

BUT I CAN MAKE THEM PAY.

WHAT, BY DESTROYING THE LANDSCAPE?

BY CUTTING THE WOODS DOWN AND SELLING THEM OFF AS TIMBER?

OR STEALING RARE ORCHIDS?

WHAT GOOD ARE TREES OR FLOWERS GROWING WILD IN THE HILLS

WHEN THERE'S PLENTY OF COLLECTORS WILLING TO PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THEM?

FARMERS ARE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES TOO, YOU KNOW.

YOU ARE THE MOST DESPICABLE—

CAREFUL, YOU COULD STILL FACE CHARGES FOR ASSAULT ON MR. PARKER.

SO, BILLY WAS JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS?

SIGN THE LEASE AND I'LL HAVE A WORD IN THE RIGHT EAR.

AND ALL THIS WILL NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

THIS IS BLACKMAIL! AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SHERIFF?

YES, I'M THE SHERIFF.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT, SONNY?

THERE'S NO BACKUP EQUIPMENT. YOU'RE FINISHED.

- SWITCH IT OFF. - I HAVE SWITCHED IT OFF.

EH? I'M STILL GETTING A SIGNAL.

STOP BLATHERING. I'VE PULLED THE PLUG OUT.

ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE CHARGER.

THIS RIG RUNS OFF BATTERIES.

- WE'RE LIVE. - ( computer beeping )

AND WHAT'S THIS?

213 E-MAILS.

WE SHOULD DO MORE OF THIS CURRENT AFFAIR STUFF.

YES, LADIES AND GENTS, WE ARE TALKING TODAY LIVE

TO SHERIFF JOSEPH REAVEY,

LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE ON ROB ROY.

SO, SHERIFF REAVEY, TELL US MORE

ABOUT YOUR UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO CONSERVATION.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A PUBLIC SERVICE.

WHAT'S THAT?

I KNOW IT'S NOT AN AIRLINE TICKET. LEXIE TOLD ME.

WHAT DID SHE TELL YOU?

THAT SHE OFFERED YOU A JOB OUT THERE AND YOU TURNED IT DOWN.

IS THAT ALL SHE TOLD YOU?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE IT? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING.

YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW.

IT'S JUST— I MEAN—

I'M SCARED TO FLY, YOU KNOW.

IS IT US? THE REASON YOU SAID NO?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY— WELL, YE—

YEAH.

YEAH IT WAS.

DUNCAN, YOU SHOULDN'T LET ME STAND IN YOUR WAY.

I MEAN,

I LIKE US BEING TOGETHER. ( chuckles )

IT'S FUN.

BUT I'M NOT UP FOR A BIG COMMITMENT.

I SOUND LIKE A PROBLEM PAGE.

OH, NO, NOT AT ALL.

I MEAN I'M JUST THE SAME.

LIVE FOR NOW, A DAY AT A TIME.

NOW I SOUND LIKE A PROBLEM PAGE.

THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY FARM.

YOU WON'T SUBLET IT.

YOU'D HAVE TO BE DERANGED TO LIVE HERE.

I MUST BE DERANGED THEN.

HOLD ON. I THOUGHT YOU HAD

SOME HIGH-POWERED JOB BACK IN EDINBURGH.

I DID, YEAH, BUT I QUIT.

SO...

YOU RECKON YOU'LL MAKE A FARMER?

WHY NOT? THEY MADE YOU THE LAIRD.

LOOKS LIKE WE'LL BOTH HAVE SOME AWKWARD COWS TO DEAL WITH.

GOOD LUCK.

MAY THE OPEN HAND BE FILLED THE FULLEST,

WITH A LOVING HEART, NEVER KNOW STRIFE.

AS ST. BRIDE BRINGS WARMTH TO THE WATER,

MAY THIS SPRING BRING THE LAND NEW LIFE;

AND MAY WE BE ONE CLAN,

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, FATHER AND SON,

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

- OH, HELLO. - HI.

D'YOU WANT MY JUMPER?

NO, THANKS, I'M ALL RIGHT.

SO HAVE THEY GROWN ON YOU YET?

I HAVEN'T GOT ANY EARPLUGS IN, IF THAT SAYS ANYTHING.

I MISS THEM, ESPECIALLY IN NEW ZEALAND.

HEARING THEM NOW, I JUST FEEL—

HAPPY?

HOME AGAIN.

AT LAST.

I SAW GOLLY DOING THE BLESSING.

IF YOU DON'T MEAN IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

I JUST— I JUST DON'T GET IT, THAT'S ALL.

EVERYBODY SEEMS TO, EXCEPT ME.

LOOK, IT WILL IN TIME.

I DIDN'T MAKE YOU LAIRD, PAUL. I CAN'T.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN GIVE OR TAKE.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING...

YOU BECOME.

I'M TRYING. IT'S JUST I'M—

SCARED?

SCARED? NO.

YEAH, YOU ARE.

BUT KNOWING YOU, YOU'LL DO IT ANYWAY.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME, LEX.
