1
00:01:03,097 --> 00:01:06,735
<i>When Joan was only one year old,</i>
<i>she knew where she was going.</i>

2
00:01:06,808 --> 00:01:10,548
<i>Going right? Left?</i>
<i>No, straight on.</i>

3
00:01:20,725 --> 00:01:23,640
<i>When she was five,</i>
<i>she was writing,</i>

4
00:01:23,707 --> 00:01:26,814
<i>"Dear Father Christmas,</i>
<i>I don't want a doll,</i>

5
00:01:26,889 --> 00:01:29,600
<i>"and I don't want</i>
<i>a big red ball.</i>

6
00:01:29,672 --> 00:01:32,123
<i>"What I want</i>
<i>is a pair of silk stockings.</i>

7
00:01:32,190 --> 00:01:35,071
<i>And I mean silk,</i>
<i>not artificial. "</i>

8
00:01:43,424 --> 00:01:46,429
<i>She was 12 before she got her</i>
<i>first pair of silk stockings,</i>

9
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:48,584
<i>and they were artificial.</i>

10
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:51,970
<i>See? All the other giris</i>
<i>are waiting to catch the bus.</i>

11
00:01:52,039 --> 00:01:54,118
<i>And waiting. Look at her.</i>

12
00:01:54,193 --> 00:01:56,610
<i>Here she comes,</i>
<i>straight for the milk van.</i>

13
00:01:56,678 --> 00:01:59,593
<i>Is she going to get a lift?</i>
<i>She is.</i>

14
00:02:15,897 --> 00:02:19,207
<i>At 18, she's a working girl,</i>
<i>and she still knows what she wants.</i>

15
00:02:19,276 --> 00:02:21,456
<i>A boy wants to take her</i>
<i>to the movies...</i>

16
00:02:21,530 --> 00:02:23,574
<i>twice a week,</i>
<i>if she'll let him.</i>

17
00:02:23,651 --> 00:02:26,362
<i>She would rather have a dinner</i>
<i>at the best hotel in town,</i>

18
00:02:26,435 --> 00:02:28,852
<i>even if he can only take her</i>
<i>once a month.</i>

19
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,630
<i>There she is,</i>
<i>that tall, skinny girl.</i>

20
00:02:31,703 --> 00:02:34,279
<i>Will he take her?</i>
<i>He will.</i>

21
00:02:40,417 --> 00:02:44,055
<i>She's 25 now, and in one thing</i>
<i>she's never changed.</i>

22
00:02:44,128 --> 00:02:46,207
<i>She still knows</i>
<i>where she's going.</i>

23
00:02:46,282 --> 00:02:48,462
Good evening, Miss Webster.

24
00:02:48,536 --> 00:02:50,784
Good evening, Leon.

25
00:02:52,445 --> 00:02:54,400
Hello, darling.

26
00:02:58,145 --> 00:03:01,522
I got your telegram. I thought you
were spending your holiday at home.

27
00:03:01,592 --> 00:03:04,506
Oh, I'm sorry,
but you see me every weekend.

28
00:03:04,574 --> 00:03:07,647
- Did you bring my money?
- Yes. Here you are.

29
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:09,833
Forty seven pounds,
ten and nine.

30
00:03:09,909 --> 00:03:13,084
Would you sign the receipt
and count the money?

31
00:03:13,156 --> 00:03:16,365
- You don't mind my taking
it all out, do you?
- It's your own money.

32
00:03:16,436 --> 00:03:19,509
As your bank manager, I'd prefer you
to leave the account open.

33
00:03:19,584 --> 00:03:21,505
As your father, I...
Nothing for me, thank you.

34
00:03:21,573 --> 00:03:25,143
Oh, but you must have something tonight.
He'll have a sherry.

35
00:03:25,217 --> 00:03:28,166
And the usual
for you, Miss Webster?

36
00:03:30,485 --> 00:03:34,191
- Bring him a gin and Dubonnet.
- You have no consideration
at all for my position.

37
00:03:34,263 --> 00:03:38,172
<i>Oh, darling, be reasonable.</i>
<i>Just think of all these giris here.</i>

38
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:40,984
They've all got fathers
who have positions.

39
00:03:41,056 --> 00:03:44,004
Not everybody's father
is a bank manager.

40
00:03:44,072 --> 00:03:47,144
<i>Thank you, miss.</i>

41
00:03:47,219 --> 00:03:49,140
Darling...

42
00:03:49,207 --> 00:03:52,280
please stop being
a bank manager for once.

43
00:03:52,355 --> 00:03:54,931
Just be my father for tonight.

44
00:03:55,007 --> 00:03:58,509
Now look here, Joan, I've come
all the way here from Eccleshall,

45
00:03:58,585 --> 00:04:01,556
and you know I don't like
being seen in expensive places.

46
00:04:01,634 --> 00:04:05,339
<i>- You know what my clients will say...</i>
- Daddy, I'm going to be married.

47
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:06,958
What?

48
00:04:07,035 --> 00:04:09,983
- Your table, Miss Webster.
- Thank you, Fred.

49
00:04:13,032 --> 00:04:15,642
Let's go in, darling.
Bring your drink.

50
00:04:31,124 --> 00:04:34,005
<i>Diamond, huh?</i>
<i>Who is he?</i>

51
00:04:35,564 --> 00:04:37,981
Excuse me.

52
00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:40,332
<i>That's a works pass of the CCI.</i>

53
00:04:40,403 --> 00:04:43,317
You can't marry
Consolidated Chemical Industries.

54
00:04:43,385 --> 00:04:45,305
Can't I?

55
00:04:47,659 --> 00:04:51,929
No other name on this
except your own and...

56
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,112
- You can't mean...
- Just what I do mean.

57
00:04:54,188 --> 00:04:57,600
Robert Bellinger's
one of the wealthiest men in England.

58
00:04:57,666 --> 00:05:00,174
Anything wrong with
the soup, Miss Webster?

59
00:05:00,251 --> 00:05:03,324
Oh, we were talking. It's cold now.
Will you take it away?

60
00:05:03,398 --> 00:05:05,319
Certainly.

61
00:05:07,143 --> 00:05:10,848
- Excuse me.
- Now here, Joan, stop acting.

62
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,251
You're not
Lady Bellinger yet.

63
00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:24,033
Anyway, you'll
come with me to the station.

64
00:05:24,109 --> 00:05:27,058
- Tonight?
- I'm picking up
the Scotch Express there.

65
00:05:27,124 --> 00:05:29,474
- Going to Glasgow?
- Further. The Western Isles.

66
00:05:29,543 --> 00:05:33,351
- Have you got your ticket?
- It's all arranged.
Everything's arranged.

67
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:36,595
- I'm going to an Island called Kiloran.
- Where is it?

68
00:05:36,668 --> 00:05:39,740
In the Hebrides. It takes
a day and a night to get there.

69
00:05:39,815 --> 00:05:43,690
It's his island. We're going
to be married there, away from people.

70
00:05:43,758 --> 00:05:46,334
- Have you ever been there?
- Often.

71
00:05:46,409 --> 00:05:50,250
- What?
- In my dreams.
He's told me all about it.

72
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,590
There's an old house,
and the war's a million miles away.

73
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:59,191
There are famous sands and sheep
and birds and Atlantic seals.

74
00:05:59,266 --> 00:06:02,441
Bellinger must be
nearly as old as I am.

75
00:06:06,025 --> 00:06:08,940
And what's wrong with you, darling?

76
00:06:09,007 --> 00:06:11,515
- Come on, Daddy, let's dance.
- No, no, Joan.

77
00:06:11,592 --> 00:06:14,541
Oh, come on, Daddy.
You can dance.

78
00:06:14,607 --> 00:06:16,923
You taught me to dance.

79
00:06:18,286 --> 00:06:20,669
- Good evening, Hunter.
- Good evening.

80
00:06:20,738 --> 00:06:23,087
Follow me.
Excuse me.

81
00:06:46,617 --> 00:06:50,052
- I hope you will be comfortable, miss.
<i>- Thanks, Mr. Hunter.</i>

82
00:06:50,129 --> 00:06:53,541
- I managed to prevent them
from putting you over the wheel.
- It's lovely, Hunter.

83
00:06:53,609 --> 00:06:56,026
- See you in the morning, Miss Webster.
- Yes, please.

84
00:06:56,093 --> 00:06:59,370
We get in at 6:30. I'll call you
half an hour before, all right?

85
00:06:59,441 --> 00:07:02,875
- Yes, thank you.
- Very good, Miss Webster.
Thanks, Mr. Hunter.

86
00:07:02,953 --> 00:07:06,557
- It was very clever of you
to get a sleeper, Hunter.
- Sir Robert's orders.

87
00:07:06,631 --> 00:07:09,737
- Not so easy these days, all the same.
- We have our methods, sir.

88
00:07:09,812 --> 00:07:12,557
- This is my father.
- How do you do, sir?

89
00:07:12,628 --> 00:07:15,701
Here is an itinerary that I had prepared
at Sir Robert's desire.

90
00:07:15,776 --> 00:07:20,408
Would you study it?
When you arrive at Glasgow,
you change to Buchanan St. Station.

91
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:23,792
Mr. MacAllister, director
of the Bellinger Metal Works,

92
00:07:23,862 --> 00:07:26,573
will meet you on your arrival
at the central.

93
00:07:26,646 --> 00:07:29,718
- You arrive at Oban at 11:30.
- Just leaving, sir.

94
00:07:29,793 --> 00:07:32,741
Oh, I must be off.
Excuse me.

95
00:07:32,809 --> 00:07:35,622
- Good-bye.
- Good-bye, Hunter.

96
00:07:39,336 --> 00:07:42,047
Good-bye, Daddy, darling.
Send me a wire.

97
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,503
I'll be back in a week.
Hunter will give you the address.

98
00:07:44,572 --> 00:07:47,283
- Good-bye, darling. God bless you.
- Good-bye, Hunter.

99
00:07:47,355 --> 00:07:50,270
- Good-bye, miss. My very best wishes.
- Don't forget to write.

100
00:07:50,338 --> 00:07:53,715
Darling, don't worry about me.
I know where I'm going!

00:12:17,578 --> 00:12:20,086
An hour ago,
it was very pretty.

151
00:12:20,162 --> 00:12:23,134
Ah, but it never stays fine
for long in the isles.

152
00:12:23,211 --> 00:12:25,990
You'll soon get used to it.
Are you for Kiloran, Miss Webster?

153
00:12:26,061 --> 00:12:29,564
- Yes. Is it far to Port Erraig?
- Quite a step if you walk.

154
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:32,113
Only 40 minutes
if you have a car,

155
00:12:32,192 --> 00:12:34,338
and you have a car.

156
00:13:02,875 --> 00:13:05,880
Port Erraig is down yonder
behind the trees.

157
00:13:05,956 --> 00:13:09,391
That is Moy Castle, the ancient
home of the MacLaines of Erraig.

158
00:13:09,469 --> 00:13:12,214
- Where do they live now?
- Down there in Erraig House.

159
00:13:12,285 --> 00:13:14,963
Ah, but they'll all be dead now
or in New Zealand.

160
00:13:15,036 --> 00:13:16,957
There will only be
Catriona MacLaine.

161
00:13:17,024 --> 00:13:18,945
Is anyone allowed in the castle?

162
00:13:19,013 --> 00:13:23,543
Oh, yes, anyone can go in,
except the lairds of Kiloran.
There's a curse on them.

163
00:13:23,618 --> 00:13:27,686
- What sort of curse?
- If they should ever set foot
across the threshold,

164
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,471
man, they say
it's a terrible strong curse.

165
00:13:31,537 --> 00:13:35,841
Hear ye!

166
00:13:35,912 --> 00:13:38,860
- I'd better go down.
- Will I take them for you?

167
00:13:38,927 --> 00:13:41,401
- Oh, no, I can manage.
- I'd better wait a wee while.

168
00:13:41,478 --> 00:13:45,082
Ruairidh Mhor may not be willing to
cross over to Kiloran in this weather.

169
00:13:45,156 --> 00:13:47,901
Oh, no, my fiance
is coming over to fetch me.

170
00:13:47,973 --> 00:13:50,944
Oh, so the rich gentleman
in spectacles is your fiance?

171
00:13:51,022 --> 00:13:53,337
Yes.

172
00:13:53,407 --> 00:13:57,078
- "Well, well, a thousand
blessings on you both."
- Thank you.

173
00:13:57,152 --> 00:13:59,603
But in a fog like the one
that's coming up,

174
00:13:59,670 --> 00:14:03,703
your fiance won't see any better with
six pairs of spectacles than with one.

175
00:14:03,779 --> 00:14:06,196
Good-bye.

176
00:14:20,182 --> 00:14:22,497
- Good evening.
- Good evening.

177
00:14:22,567 --> 00:14:25,143
Oh, bad luck.
No crossing today.

178
00:14:25,217 --> 00:14:27,601
- But isn't that the boat from Kiloran?
- No.

179
00:14:27,669 --> 00:14:30,584
And if she was, it is not today
she'd be getting back, milady.

180
00:14:30,652 --> 00:14:34,560
That's the ferry boat.
Pity you didn't keep lain's car.
That's why I was shouting.

181
00:14:34,628 --> 00:14:37,271
But we didn't understand.
Why should I keep it, anyway?

182
00:14:37,345 --> 00:14:40,451
To go back to Tobermory and spend
the night in a comfortable bed.

183
00:14:40,527 --> 00:14:43,532
- But I intend to spend
the night on Kiloran.
- Oh.

184
00:14:49,739 --> 00:14:52,653
Would you like to wait up at the house?
I know the people.

185
00:14:52,721 --> 00:14:55,793
Thank you. But it's been arranged
for the boat to meet me here,

186
00:14:55,868 --> 00:14:58,444
and I'd better be here
to meet it.

187
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:03,220
Good. It's the big house
up the bray.

188
00:15:10,315 --> 00:15:12,394
Is that Gaelic you're talking?

189
00:15:12,469 --> 00:15:15,882
Yes, milady.
What would it be but the Gaelic?

190
00:15:15,949 --> 00:15:18,728
-
- What's that noise?

191
00:15:18,798 --> 00:15:22,176
- That would be the seals' signal, miss.
- The seals?

192
00:15:22,244 --> 00:15:25,249
Yes, yes. They like
the warm, foggy weather.

193
00:15:25,326 --> 00:15:27,936
If my boat doesn't come,
will you take me?

194
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:30,925
No, I will not, milady.

195
00:16:02,107 --> 00:16:05,282
<i>Port Erraig, 5:15 p.m.</i>

196
00:16:05,354 --> 00:16:08,788
<i>The boat from Kiloran</i>
<i>will meet Miss Webster...</i>

197
00:16:24,838 --> 00:16:28,216
Good evening.
I'm looking for the house.

198
00:16:28,284 --> 00:16:31,922
You'll see a wee gate
up the bray.

199
00:16:31,995 --> 00:16:33,916
Thank you.

200
00:17:08,246 --> 00:17:10,697
Hello?

201
00:17:13,415 --> 00:17:17,380
<i>May I be the first to welcome</i>
<i>you to these halls, young lady?</i>

202
00:17:17,458 --> 00:17:21,593
I was just going to get you.
Come on in. We've lit the fire.
You've met the colonel, I see.

203
00:17:21,667 --> 00:17:24,705
- I've had that pleasure.
My name's Barnstaple.
- Colonel Barnstaple.

204
00:17:24,781 --> 00:17:27,752
- The greatest hawk trainer...
- Falconer, my dear Torquil.

205
00:17:27,830 --> 00:17:31,366
- The greatest falconer
in the Western Isles.
- In the worid, old boy.

206
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:33,859
Catriona's out.
She's our hostess.

207
00:17:33,926 --> 00:17:37,202
She's no idea you and I are here,
but she'll find a corner for us.

208
00:17:37,273 --> 00:17:40,086
She's a grand girl,
bless her heart.

209
00:17:40,156 --> 00:17:42,234
I've known here
since we were kids.

210
00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:44,456
She married an Englishman
called Potts.

211
00:17:44,530 --> 00:17:47,535
He's in the Middle East,
and the kids at boarding school.

212
00:17:47,612 --> 00:17:51,419
- How's business, Colonel?
- Fair. I've got a new line now.

213
00:17:51,489 --> 00:17:55,590
<i>Eagles. I've been training</i>
<i>a golden eagle for seven months.</i>

214
00:17:55,664 --> 00:17:58,047
An eagle!
Hunting with it, like a hawk?

215
00:17:58,116 --> 00:18:00,658
<i>That's shaken you.</i>

216
00:18:00,733 --> 00:18:02,812
Where is it?
I'd like to see it.

217
00:18:02,887 --> 00:18:05,994
Sorry, old boy. I lost him four days
ago, and I haven't got him back yet.

218
00:18:06,068 --> 00:18:08,983
- Where did you see him last?
- On Golly's leap.
I was trying with rabbits.

219
00:18:09,050 --> 00:18:13,615
And the blighter lost interest,
sailed off and disappeared in a cloud.

220
00:18:13,689 --> 00:18:18,287
Every day I'm out after him.
I've trodden that mountain
almost into the ground.

221
00:18:18,362 --> 00:18:20,282
But I'll get him back.

222
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,195
- Catriona!
- <i>There's the dear girl now.</i>

223
00:18:34,068 --> 00:18:37,605
Torquil!

224
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,990
Mrs. Potts!

225
00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:44,968
Brown stuff, this Gaelic.

226
00:18:47,323 --> 00:18:50,700
Still got those half-starved hounds?
How do you feed 'em?

227
00:18:50,769 --> 00:18:54,870
<i>Oh, we live off the country.</i>
<i>Rabbits, dear, a stray hiker or two.</i>

228
00:18:54,944 --> 00:18:58,548
What do you expect me to do?
Eat them myself just when
the strain's getting known?

229
00:18:58,622 --> 00:19:02,000
<i>How's that for bone?</i>

230
00:19:02,068 --> 00:19:04,983
Look at that head, eh?

231
00:19:05,050 --> 00:19:09,253
Torquil, it's good of you
to come and see an old bag like me.

232
00:19:09,325 --> 00:19:12,431
- Good evening.
<i>- This is a fellow traveler to Kiloran.</i>

233
00:19:12,506 --> 00:19:15,815
Oh, I see. Ruairidh
wouldn't take you over.

234
00:19:15,886 --> 00:19:18,236
You're right,
but I love you just the same.

235
00:19:18,304 --> 00:19:20,948
I came over on the midday bus
just to see you.

236
00:19:21,022 --> 00:19:23,135
- This is Miss...
<i>- Webster.</i>

237
00:19:23,209 --> 00:19:25,186
- Miss Webster.
- How do you do?

238
00:19:25,263 --> 00:19:28,505
- How do you do?
- I'm sorry I didn't see you.
It's Torquil's fault.

239
00:19:28,577 --> 00:19:31,491
- You'll stay here tonight.
- I don't want to be any trouble.

240
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:33,513
Oh, it's no trouble at all.

241
00:19:33,580 --> 00:19:36,721
I haven't heard any intelligent
female nonsense for months.

242
00:19:36,794 --> 00:19:40,262
Besides, there's nowhere else
you could go.

243
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:43,085
Oh, don't worry. You won't
have to sleep on the floor,

244
00:19:43,156 --> 00:19:45,133
though the men will.

245
00:19:45,211 --> 00:19:48,487
I don't know which way you came,
but I suppose you noticed
the place was knocked about.

246
00:19:48,557 --> 00:19:51,269
Well, it did look a bit bleak.

247
00:19:51,341 --> 00:19:54,086
<i>Oh, it's no wonder.</i>
<i>I only just got rid of the boys.</i>

248
00:19:54,157 --> 00:19:56,835
- What boys?
- Well, the RAF, of course.

249
00:19:56,908 --> 00:19:59,190
I've had them for two years,
80 of them, no less.

250
00:19:59,261 --> 00:20:01,678
But surely they'll compensate
you for the damage.

251
00:20:01,746 --> 00:20:04,253
Oh, yes, they've been
very fair about that,

252
00:20:04,331 --> 00:20:07,109
apart from trying to sell me
their concrete foundations.

253
00:20:07,180 --> 00:20:11,213
I wasn't having any.
No, they'll pay a lump sum,
or do the place up as it was.

254
00:20:11,289 --> 00:20:13,899
- After the war, of course.
- Which are you gonna take?

255
00:20:13,972 --> 00:20:16,322
That's the question,
Torquil, my boy.

256
00:20:16,392 --> 00:20:19,035
MacLaine versus Potts.

257
00:20:23,583 --> 00:20:25,797
- Will you have a draft?
- Certainly.

258
00:20:25,869 --> 00:20:28,083
Help yourself.
We'll get dinner.

259
00:20:31,038 --> 00:20:32,958
<i>We'll make a pie.</i>

260
00:20:33,026 --> 00:20:35,443
The colonel says you're
a dead shot these days.

261
00:20:35,511 --> 00:20:38,584
My dear Torquil, I have a tip
that will improve your own shooting.

262
00:20:38,660 --> 00:20:42,162
After scrounging a few cartridges
out of the local comptroller,

263
00:20:42,238 --> 00:20:45,480
<i>find a sitting rabbit,</i>
<i>take aim, say to yourself,</i>

264
00:20:45,552 --> 00:20:48,059
"If I don't shoot
this rabbit, I don't eat,"

265
00:20:48,136 --> 00:20:50,056
and you don't miss.

266
00:20:50,124 --> 00:20:53,162
- And she doesn't.
- What's your other name?

267
00:20:53,239 --> 00:20:56,979
- Joan.
- Mine's Catriona.

268
00:20:57,049 --> 00:20:59,625
Can you skin a rabbit?

269
00:21:06,824 --> 00:21:10,327
That's a queer girl.

270
00:21:10,403 --> 00:21:13,646
- What do you young chaps
know about giris?
- <i>Nothing. Not a thing.</i>

271
00:21:13,717 --> 00:21:16,033
Then you know as much as I do.

272
00:21:16,103 --> 00:21:18,746
Taming a woman must be worse
than taming an eagle.

273
00:21:18,820 --> 00:21:21,768
<i>Can't be done, old boy.</i>
<i>It can't be done.</i>

274
00:21:21,835 --> 00:21:25,472
- How's the war treated you?
- Not bad. Saw the worid.

275
00:21:25,546 --> 00:21:27,500
- <i>Been home much?</i>
- Not for four years.

276
00:21:27,568 --> 00:21:29,488
- Staying long?
<i>- Eight days.</i>

277
00:21:29,556 --> 00:21:32,369
Not much.

278
00:21:32,439 --> 00:21:37,071
There's a right way and
a wrong way to skin a rabbit.

279
00:21:37,144 --> 00:21:40,985
I only know the wrong way.
Colonel, you're wanted.

280
00:21:41,054 --> 00:21:44,895
On parade!

281
00:21:50,597 --> 00:21:53,071
Hear any bells, either of you?

282
00:21:55,038 --> 00:21:58,043
I thought for a moment
it was the old boy, back again.

283
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,130
<i>- Colonel!</i>
- Right!

284
00:22:01,366 --> 00:22:04,834
- What did he think he heard?
- His eagle.

285
00:22:04,912 --> 00:22:07,657
A little odd, isn't he?

286
00:22:07,728 --> 00:22:09,649
Who isn't?

287
00:22:15,284 --> 00:22:19,351
Oh, it's Kiloran!
It looks huge.

288
00:22:19,426 --> 00:22:21,708
Six inch to the mile.

289
00:22:21,778 --> 00:22:24,783
If the winds gets up,
it'll soon blow the fog away.

290
00:22:24,860 --> 00:22:28,035
- Sounds as if it is.
- Are you staying long on the island?

291
00:22:28,107 --> 00:22:30,084
- A few days.
- You know anyone there?

292
00:22:30,161 --> 00:22:32,239
- Mm-hmm.
- It's a fine island.

293
00:22:32,315 --> 00:22:34,326
- I know.
- Been there before?

294
00:22:34,402 --> 00:22:37,080
No, but I've heard
all about it.

295
00:22:37,153 --> 00:22:41,062
- Do you know it well?
- I've known it for 29 years.

296
00:22:41,130 --> 00:22:43,706
I shouldn't have thought you
as old as that.

297
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:46,062
Four years older.

298
00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:48,381
Are you staying
on the island?

299
00:22:48,453 --> 00:22:51,729
I've got eight days leave.
I want to spend it there.

300
00:22:53,854 --> 00:22:56,361
Do you know
Sir Robert Bellinger?

301
00:22:56,438 --> 00:22:59,081
No, I've never met him.

302
00:22:59,155 --> 00:23:01,505
Does he know
you're going to Kiloran?

303
00:23:01,574 --> 00:23:03,495
No. Do you know him?

304
00:23:03,562 --> 00:23:05,313
<i>- Very well.</i>
- Nice chap.

305
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:07,961
- The nicest.
<i>- I'd like to meet him.</i>

306
00:23:08,036 --> 00:23:10,951
Well, you're bound to, aren't you,
on a small island like Kiloran?

307
00:23:11,018 --> 00:23:15,425
- It's not so small.
- I heard you could walk it
in an hour and a half.

308
00:23:15,491 --> 00:23:19,332
I suppose you can
if you want to, but who wants to?
There are better things to do.

309
00:23:19,401 --> 00:23:23,072
- Such as?
<i>- Shoot grouse, fish for salmon,</i>

310
00:23:23,146 --> 00:23:26,456
bathe in Kiloran Bay,
picnic at Pig's Paradise.

311
00:23:26,525 --> 00:23:29,440
- Where's that?
- On the north shore.

312
00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:34,174
There's an eagles' aviary there.
I promised to take the colonel.

313
00:23:34,247 --> 00:23:36,167
Oh, so the colonel's going too?

314
00:23:36,235 --> 00:23:38,878
Yes. He's got a permit
from Bellinger.

315
00:23:38,952 --> 00:23:42,488
- So one does need a permit?
- In wartime, for ordinary visitors.

316
00:23:42,564 --> 00:23:45,874
But I'm staying with a factor.
He's got a house on the west side.

317
00:23:45,943 --> 00:23:48,858
<i>Kiloran House</i>
<i>is near the lake, isn't it?</i>

318
00:23:48,925 --> 00:23:50,846
The loch, yes.

319
00:24:02,445 --> 00:24:05,224
Who is it?

320
00:24:05,294 --> 00:24:07,509
<i>It's me. I'vejust been outside.</i>

321
00:24:07,580 --> 00:24:11,286
<i>It's much clearer. With luck,</i>
<i>we'll be able to cross in the morning.</i>

322
00:24:11,358 --> 00:24:13,900
- Oh, thanks for telling me.
<i>- See you in the morning.</i>

323
00:24:13,976 --> 00:24:17,151
- Good night.
<i>- Uh, good night.</i>

324
00:24:37,139 --> 00:24:40,946
You can see the trees now.
In half an hour, you'll be able
to see the shore.

325
00:24:41,015 --> 00:24:43,330
In half an hour,
I shall be asleep.

326
00:24:43,401 --> 00:24:46,214
There's a grand view
of Kiloran from here.

327
00:24:46,284 --> 00:24:50,747
At sunrise, the light shines
on the sands. With a glass,
you can make out the people.

328
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:53,930
Have you got a match
or a lighter?

329
00:24:57,417 --> 00:24:59,338
Thanks.

330
00:25:05,171 --> 00:25:08,639
Thank you.
Are you engaged?

331
00:25:08,717 --> 00:25:12,818
Yes. I'm going to be
married on Kiloran.

332
00:25:12,892 --> 00:25:15,739
It's an honor for Kiloran.

333
00:25:15,807 --> 00:25:18,880
Well, may your pulse beat
as your heart would wish.

334
00:25:18,955 --> 00:25:21,068
- Thank you.
- Is it to be soon?

335
00:25:21,142 --> 00:25:23,322
Tomorrow, weather permitting.

336
00:25:23,395 --> 00:25:26,570
- Have you got any beams in your room?
- Yes. Why?

337
00:25:26,643 --> 00:25:29,682
Count them before you go to sleep,
and your wish will come true.

338
00:25:29,758 --> 00:25:32,334
- As easy as that?
- For only the first night.

339
00:25:32,409 --> 00:25:35,481
People in modern houses
don't know what they're missing.

340
00:25:35,557 --> 00:25:39,093
- Good night.
- I warn you, it doesn't work
if you don't believe in it.

341
00:26:11,145 --> 00:26:14,421
<i>One, two, three, four, five.</i>

342
00:26:14,492 --> 00:26:18,028
Please, Lord,
don't let the wind drop,

343
00:26:18,103 --> 00:26:20,521
and let it blow the fog away.

344
00:27:14,401 --> 00:27:17,011
Good morning, Miss Webster.

345
00:27:17,085 --> 00:27:22,315
Good morning. Your counting
beams certainly works.

346
00:27:22,387 --> 00:27:24,770
Trouble is,
you wished too hard.

347
00:27:24,839 --> 00:27:27,810
- Why? What's the matter?
- We've had a gale warning.

348
00:27:27,887 --> 00:27:30,395
What will that mean?

349
00:27:30,472 --> 00:27:34,776
- Ruairidh Mhor will tell you.
- How long will the gale last?

350
00:27:34,846 --> 00:27:38,055
Oh, just as long
as the wind blows, milady.

351
00:27:38,126 --> 00:27:41,007
It can last for a day.
It can blow for a week.

352
00:27:41,075 --> 00:27:44,047
<i>It looks so near. In half</i>
<i>an hour, we could be there.</i>

353
00:27:44,124 --> 00:27:48,226
<i>In less than a second, you could get</i>
<i>from this worid into the next.</i>

354
00:27:48,299 --> 00:27:51,542
- Can I speak to the island?
- By radio, from the Coast Guard post.

355
00:27:51,612 --> 00:27:54,583
- Can civilians still use it?
- Yes, yes.

356
00:27:54,661 --> 00:27:57,406
- Where is the Coast Guard post?
- Tobermory.

357
00:27:57,477 --> 00:28:00,188
- Can we get a car?
- No need. We can go by bus.

358
00:28:00,261 --> 00:28:03,142
Ruairidh, we'll be
at the Western Isles Hotel.

359
00:28:03,210 --> 00:28:05,989
I think perhaps we'd better
move into the hotel.

360
00:28:06,059 --> 00:28:08,907
- We're a bit of a strain
on Catriona's household.
- Oh, yes, of course.

361
00:28:08,976 --> 00:28:11,823
All right, then.
Breakfast? And cheer up.

362
00:28:11,892 --> 00:28:13,903
Oh, I'm all right.

363
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,356
- Very difficult.
- Crazy.

364
00:28:28,427 --> 00:28:32,098
It was a compromise. The post office
wanted it up the hill; Catriona, below.

365
00:28:32,171 --> 00:28:34,182
But why just here?

366
00:28:34,258 --> 00:28:37,568
It was a dry summer when they
put it here, and they forgot the rain.

367
00:28:37,639 --> 00:28:39,559
Hello?

368
00:28:41,184 --> 00:28:44,065
- It's all right. You have a big room.
- What about you?

369
00:28:44,133 --> 00:28:46,212
Oh, I have a small one.

370
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:16,599
Now's my chance
to see the castle.

371
00:29:16,673 --> 00:29:19,451
I suppose you've been inside
hundreds of times.

372
00:29:19,522 --> 00:29:21,838
- No.
- Haven't you, really?

373
00:29:21,908 --> 00:29:25,218
- Are you coming in now?
- No, I don't think so.

374
00:29:25,288 --> 00:29:28,202
But you needn't be afraid
of the curse that's on the castle.

375
00:29:28,270 --> 00:29:32,235
- What have you heard about that?
- Well, I know that it's
upon the lairds of Kiloran.

376
00:29:32,313 --> 00:29:35,126
I don't know whether the wives
or the future wives...

377
00:29:35,196 --> 00:29:39,071
of the lairds are involved,
but I'll risk it.

378
00:29:49,808 --> 00:29:53,683
- Coming?
- I'd better introduce myself.

379
00:29:53,751 --> 00:29:57,186
I am MacNeil of Kiloran,

380
00:29:57,264 --> 00:29:59,771
and I am the laird of Kiloran.

381
00:29:59,848 --> 00:30:03,553
<i>Sir Robert Bellinger has</i>
<i>only rented it for the duration.</i>

382
00:30:03,626 --> 00:30:05,704
I see.

383
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,819
There's not much difference.
It's his for the time being.

384
00:30:20,889 --> 00:30:23,069
Are you afraid?

385
00:30:23,143 --> 00:30:25,753
My father never entered
Moy Castle,

386
00:30:25,827 --> 00:30:30,030
nor did my grandfather
or his father, and nor will I.

387
00:30:31,759 --> 00:30:35,069
How on earth can you stand it?
Aren't you curious?

388
00:30:35,138 --> 00:30:38,177
No. It's always been like that.

389
00:30:38,252 --> 00:30:40,173
Shall we go?

390
00:31:06,518 --> 00:31:09,432
Excuse me, sir.
Are you not MacNeil of Kiloran?

391
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:11,849
- Yes.
- Oh, curse the heavens.

392
00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:15,557
I knew you when you were a boy, Kiloran.
Knew your father well.

393
00:31:15,630 --> 00:31:19,098
My wife is from the island.
Katie Clark.

394
00:31:19,175 --> 00:31:21,220
- Katie Clark?
- Mm-hmm.

395
00:31:21,297 --> 00:31:23,217
Then you're John MacAllister.

396
00:31:23,285 --> 00:31:26,166
Yes, yes. You have your
father's memory, Kiloran.

397
00:31:26,233 --> 00:31:28,843
- And are you back for good, Kiloran?
- Only a week's leave.

398
00:31:28,918 --> 00:31:30,996
- Oh, dear.
- But it won't be long now.

399
00:31:31,072 --> 00:31:33,885
- Ah, no indeed.
- I'm waiting for the boat.
How is everybody on Kiloran?

400
00:31:33,955 --> 00:31:38,384
Hmm, well, now. They're fine.
They're very fine.

401
00:31:38,461 --> 00:31:43,161
And my son was after telling me
about the rich man on Kiloran.

402
00:31:43,232 --> 00:31:46,113
<i>Him that is your tenant, Kiloran.</i>

403
00:31:46,181 --> 00:31:48,260
<i>Like a little king, he is.</i>

404
00:31:48,335 --> 00:31:51,906
Yes, yes.
My wife's second cousin...

405
00:31:51,980 --> 00:31:55,155
was working up there
the entire spring...

406
00:31:55,227 --> 00:31:58,661
on a swimming pond
he was building.

407
00:31:58,740 --> 00:32:02,276
<i>- A swimming pool.</i>
<i>- Oh, what foolishness.</i>

408
00:32:02,352 --> 00:32:05,165
And the hold wide open sea
to be swimming in.

409
00:32:05,235 --> 00:32:08,116
- Aye, and the loch.
- Money spent is money earned.

410
00:32:08,184 --> 00:32:11,788
Ah, yes, yes. My wife's second cousin
was not complaining.

411
00:32:11,862 --> 00:32:16,132
Meat does not fall from an empty krill.

412
00:32:16,202 --> 00:32:20,405
<i>He has no care of money,</i>
<i>the rich man of Kiloran.</i>

413
00:32:20,478 --> 00:32:22,398
He brings salmon with him
from the mainland.

414
00:32:22,466 --> 00:32:27,064
- The waters here are full of salmon.
- Who is fishing for salmon?

415
00:32:27,137 --> 00:32:30,312
<i>But who would be fishing when</i>
<i>there's no one to be buying?</i>

416
00:32:30,385 --> 00:32:33,163
So he would have to start buying
before anyone would start fishing.

417
00:32:38,735 --> 00:32:40,915
But can't he now
fish for himself?

418
00:32:40,989 --> 00:32:44,593
No, he cannot. He has
the finest tackle from Glasgow,

419
00:32:44,666 --> 00:32:46,587
but the fish don't know him.

420
00:32:46,654 --> 00:32:51,783
<i>Yes, yes, the fish</i>
<i>do not know him, no.</i>

421
00:32:51,857 --> 00:32:53,969
What are all the guns for?

422
00:32:54,044 --> 00:32:57,478
Ah, we're losing lambs.
There's an eagle been seen.

423
00:32:57,556 --> 00:33:00,030
- Aye, a golden eagle.
- And it's 12 years...

424
00:33:00,108 --> 00:33:04,140
- Seven years.
- Since an eagle was seen in this part.

425
00:33:04,217 --> 00:33:06,860
- Where was it seen?
- Up on the shoal.

426
00:33:30,692 --> 00:33:33,143
I could hardly wish them
good hunting.

427
00:33:33,210 --> 00:33:35,955
- Hardly.
- You didn't mind what they said?

428
00:33:36,027 --> 00:33:39,337
I thought it was nonsense. Why
shouldn't one build a swimming pool?

429
00:33:39,407 --> 00:33:41,790
Personally,
I like swimming pools.

430
00:33:41,859 --> 00:33:43,779
- A matter of taste.
- Exactly.

431
00:33:43,847 --> 00:33:46,886
I also prefer to call up the fishmonger
if I want to eat some salmon...

432
00:33:46,962 --> 00:33:50,634
instead of wading about knee-deep
in water, waiting for salmon to pass by.

433
00:33:50,706 --> 00:33:53,089
- Really?
- Really.

434
00:34:03,165 --> 00:34:05,616
<i>"The Legend of Corryvreckan"?</i>

435
00:34:05,684 --> 00:34:08,756
<i>It's the second-biggest</i>
<i>whirlpool in Europe.</i>

436
00:34:08,832 --> 00:34:11,339
<i>It lies just northeast</i>
<i>of Kiloran.</i>

437
00:34:11,416 --> 00:34:13,867
"Corry" means cauldron or whirlpool.

438
00:34:13,934 --> 00:34:16,080
- "Vreckan" was a prince of Norway.
-

439
00:34:16,155 --> 00:34:19,103
He sought the daughter
of the lord of the isles in marriage.

440
00:34:19,170 --> 00:34:22,051
<i>Hello, hello, hello.</i>

441
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:26,492
- <i>Hello, Coast Guard.</i>
<i>Hello, Coast Guard.</i>

442
00:34:26,559 --> 00:34:30,027
- <i>Go on.</i>
- The lord of the isles refused
to give away his daughter.

443
00:34:30,105 --> 00:34:33,144
<i>- Of course. He was a Scotsman.</i>
- Except on one condition:

444
00:34:33,219 --> 00:34:36,032
Prince Vreckan
must anchor his galley...

445
00:34:36,102 --> 00:34:38,712
in Corryvreckan
for three days and nights.

446
00:34:38,786 --> 00:34:42,130
- What was the catch?
- The catch was that he thought
he would be drowned.

447
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,272
It's a terrible place.
When the tide's running,

448
00:34:45,348 --> 00:34:48,590
whirlpools form and you can hear
the roar for miles.

449
00:34:48,660 --> 00:34:50,976
And that's true.
You can hear it from Kiloran.

450
00:34:51,047 --> 00:34:54,255
- I bet he anchored, though.
- What he did was to go
straight back to Norway.

451
00:34:54,327 --> 00:34:57,468
There, he asked the advice
of the old men.

452
00:34:57,542 --> 00:35:00,151
They told him to take
three anchor ropes,

453
00:35:00,225 --> 00:35:01,841
one of hemp, one of...
Wait a moment...

454
00:35:01,915 --> 00:35:05,259
- Flax.
<i>- Flax. Thank you. One of flax.</i>

455
00:35:05,328 --> 00:35:08,243
And you know well what the third rope
was made of, Kiloran.

456
00:35:08,311 --> 00:35:11,316
Of course. The third rope
was made of the hair of maidens...

457
00:35:11,392 --> 00:35:13,572
who are faithful
to their lovers.

458
00:35:13,645 --> 00:35:15,758
Go on.

459
00:35:15,832 --> 00:35:19,900
The maidens willingly gave their
tresses, and Prince Vreckan
sailed for the Hebrides.

460
00:35:19,974 --> 00:35:22,019
The first night,
the hemp rope broke.

461
00:35:22,095 --> 00:35:24,671
The second night,
the rope of flax broke.

462
00:35:24,746 --> 00:35:27,989
The third rope held fast.
The third night...

463
00:35:28,059 --> 00:35:30,703
Hello, Tobermory. Hello, Tobermory.

464
00:35:30,776 --> 00:35:34,210
Isle of Kiloran speaking.
Isle of Kiloran speaking.

465
00:35:34,289 --> 00:35:36,605
Over to you. Over.

466
00:35:38,133 --> 00:35:40,211
Hello, Kiloran.
Hello, Kiloran.

467
00:35:40,287 --> 00:35:43,563
Tobermory speaking.
Tobermory speaking.
Tobermory speaking.

468
00:35:43,634 --> 00:35:46,548
Miss Webster's here to talk
to Sir Robert Bellinger.

469
00:35:46,616 --> 00:35:49,226
Stand by, please.
Stand by, please.

470
00:35:49,299 --> 00:35:51,649
- In there, my dear.
- Thank you.

471
00:35:53,275 --> 00:35:55,783
Hello? Robert?

472
00:35:55,860 --> 00:35:58,075
Joan speaking.

473
00:35:58,147 --> 00:36:00,361
I'm here in Tobermory.

474
00:36:00,434 --> 00:36:02,478
I had a very good journey.

475
00:36:02,554 --> 00:36:04,836
Isn't it a shame
about the weather?

476
00:36:04,906 --> 00:36:07,979
If you want Sir Robert
to answer, say, "Over to you."

477
00:36:08,054 --> 00:36:10,065
Over to you.

478
00:36:10,142 --> 00:36:12,786
Hello, my dear.
Robert speaking.

479
00:36:12,859 --> 00:36:15,276
I'm glad to hear
your voice, at any rate.

480
00:36:15,345 --> 00:36:18,350
We're all ready here,
ready and waiting.

481
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:20,934
Cartier delivered
the ring, I hope.

482
00:36:21,010 --> 00:36:24,648
I hope you like it.
I take it Hunter saw you off. Over.

483
00:36:25,981 --> 00:36:29,257
Of course, Robert.
Everything was lovely.

484
00:36:29,327 --> 00:36:33,598
Is there anything
the matter with your voice?
Have you got a cold? Over.

485
00:36:33,668 --> 00:36:37,476
<i>Oh, no, I haven't got a cold.</i>
<i>Do I sound as if I had?</i>

486
00:36:37,545 --> 00:36:39,827
Now, listen, Joan,
have you got a pencil?

487
00:36:39,898 --> 00:36:42,508
Write down a telephone number.
Are you ready?

488
00:36:42,582 --> 00:36:45,429
2-3-6. 236.
You got it?

489
00:36:45,498 --> 00:36:48,706
It's the Robinson's number.
They've rented the castle.

490
00:36:48,779 --> 00:36:52,349
Robinson's done a lot of work for me,
one way or another.

491
00:36:52,423 --> 00:36:55,067
He's one of the best.
So's his wife.

492
00:36:55,141 --> 00:36:58,349
They're the only people
worthwhile knowing around here.

493
00:36:58,421 --> 00:37:00,635
<i>Ring them.</i>
<i>They'll be glad to put you up.</i>

494
00:37:00,708 --> 00:37:04,278
I'll be over to fetch you
as soon as the gale blows out. Over.

495
00:37:04,352 --> 00:37:07,956
Hello, Robert. I've got the number,
and I'll phone them.

496
00:37:08,031 --> 00:37:11,408
<i>I'd rather stay in a hotel.</i>
<i>You don't mind, do you? Over.</i>

497
00:37:11,477 --> 00:37:14,391
Right, my treasure.
Do just as you like.

498
00:37:14,459 --> 00:37:18,560
I say, Joan, Major Foster,
MacNeil's factor is here beside me.

499
00:37:18,634 --> 00:37:21,605
He's waiting to talk to Mr. MacNeil.
Is he there?

500
00:37:21,683 --> 00:37:24,597
I thought he was
in the Army. Over.

501
00:37:24,665 --> 00:37:28,405
Hello, Robert.
He's here, and he's in the Navy.

502
00:37:28,475 --> 00:37:30,983
Well, good-bye, Robert.

503
00:37:31,059 --> 00:37:34,867
I hope to see you
tomorrow. Over.

504
00:37:34,936 --> 00:37:38,845
Cheerio, my pet.
It'll be a quiet wedding.

505
00:37:38,913 --> 00:37:42,788
But full of surprises, I promise you.

506
00:37:42,856 --> 00:37:46,031
Chin up.
You can always ring 236.

507
00:37:46,104 --> 00:37:49,516
This gale can't blow
forever. Good-bye.

508
00:37:49,582 --> 00:37:52,396
Good-bye.
Go ahead, Foster.

509
00:37:52,465 --> 00:37:55,572
Foster speaking.
Hello, Kiloran.

510
00:37:55,646 --> 00:37:59,058
It's good to hear you're back,
even though you're stuck in Tobermory.

511
00:37:59,126 --> 00:38:01,668
Is there anything
you want done? Over.

512
00:38:01,744 --> 00:38:03,664
Hello, Foster.

513
00:38:03,732 --> 00:38:08,296
Tell Duncan that I expect
the trout to jump and the krill
to perch on the end of my gun.

514
00:38:08,371 --> 00:38:12,042
I've read all your reports.
I'm longing to talk things over.

515
00:38:12,115 --> 00:38:16,454
-
- Good-bye, Tobermory. Over.

516
00:38:16,522 --> 00:38:20,262
Good-bye, Kiloran.
Good-bye, Kiloran.

517
00:38:20,333 --> 00:38:24,366
- How much is that?
- Well, it's nine pence each, Kiloran.

518
00:38:24,442 --> 00:38:27,583
- Thank you very much.
- Not can change that for you,
Miss Webster.

519
00:38:27,656 --> 00:38:30,470
- Here you are.
- I'll pay you back at the hotel.

520
00:38:30,539 --> 00:38:32,460
Good.

521
00:38:32,527 --> 00:38:35,442
She wouldn't see a pound note
from one pensions day to another.

522
00:38:35,510 --> 00:38:37,927
People around here
are very poor, I suppose.

523
00:38:37,994 --> 00:38:40,773
- Not poor. They just haven't got money.
- It's the same thing.

524
00:38:40,844 --> 00:38:43,126
Oh, no, something quite different.

525
00:38:45,815 --> 00:38:48,729
- Any messages?
- No, Mr. MacNeil.

526
00:38:48,797 --> 00:38:51,339
- Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
- Mr. MacNeil.

527
00:38:51,415 --> 00:38:55,290
- Yes?
- I want to ask you something.

528
00:38:55,357 --> 00:38:59,425
- Anything.
- Do you mind if we sit
at separate tables at lunch?

529
00:38:59,499 --> 00:39:03,408
- You do understand, don't you?
- Of course I don't mind.

530
00:39:03,476 --> 00:39:05,859
We are strangers.
Not even properly introduced.

531
00:39:05,928 --> 00:39:08,809
Yes, but you understand
why I'm asking you?

532
00:39:08,877 --> 00:39:12,018
I think you're the most proper
young lady I've ever met.

533
00:39:12,091 --> 00:39:14,440
I take that as a compliment.

534
00:40:17,634 --> 00:40:19,555
Please, God.

535
00:40:30,722 --> 00:40:33,399
Please let the gale drop.

536
00:40:34,864 --> 00:40:37,678
I must get over
to the island tomorrow.

537
00:40:37,747 --> 00:40:40,097
You know that I must.

538
00:41:10,187 --> 00:41:13,497
<i>It's blowing great guns!</i>
<i>The wind's shifting all the time!</i>

539
00:41:13,568 --> 00:41:17,036
It's gone from southwest
to northwest since daylight!

540
00:41:17,113 --> 00:41:21,214
Where is it now? Blowing from
every point of the compass at once.

541
00:41:21,288 --> 00:41:24,067
Ruairidh says they've got
savers in the northwest.

542
00:41:24,138 --> 00:41:26,680
But you know all that
before anybody.

543
00:41:26,755 --> 00:41:29,703
Poor beggar. I bet
you're fed up to the gills.

544
00:41:29,771 --> 00:41:32,719
No, it's all right.
I'm a patient man. I can wait.

545
00:41:32,786 --> 00:41:36,695
Now, listen, Colonel.
You're going to get into trouble.

546
00:41:38,287 --> 00:41:41,958
Eh? Blast the waterfall!

547
00:41:42,031 --> 00:41:44,641
Speak up.
There's a good chap.

548
00:41:44,715 --> 00:41:48,624
What? Big bird, my foot!
It's my eagle!

549
00:41:48,691 --> 00:41:52,431
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
They're after it with shotguns.

550
00:41:52,502 --> 00:41:57,168
Ignorant clods! If they touch a
feather of old Torquil, I'll gore 'em!

551
00:41:57,241 --> 00:42:01,342
I've christened him Torquil.
You don't mind, do you, chap?

552
00:42:01,415 --> 00:42:04,420
- He reminds me of you.
- Oh, thanks. What?

553
00:42:04,497 --> 00:42:08,168
As to this outrageous
accusation, I shall refute it!

554
00:42:08,242 --> 00:42:11,484
If lambs are missing, ten to one
it's a fox or a wild cat!

555
00:42:11,555 --> 00:42:13,769
I don't know
anything about that.

556
00:42:13,842 --> 00:42:18,745
Every village bumpkin believes
the eagles carry schoolchildren
with satchels on their backs.

557
00:42:18,812 --> 00:42:21,456
Ballocks! Anything!
Absolute poppycock!

558
00:42:21,529 --> 00:42:25,665
Talk it over with Catriona, don't do
anything rash and ring me tomorrow.

559
00:42:32,961 --> 00:42:34,881
Hello, Peigi.

560
00:42:34,949 --> 00:42:37,559
It's an awful
pretty day, Kiloran.

561
00:42:37,633 --> 00:42:39,882
It is.
Is Miss Webster about?

562
00:42:39,952 --> 00:42:42,460
- She's away.
- Away? Where?

563
00:42:42,537 --> 00:42:46,073
She was away
in lain's car before 8:00.

564
00:42:46,149 --> 00:42:49,617
She went to Erraig,
then she came back here,

565
00:42:49,694 --> 00:42:53,434
she used the telephone
and she was away in the car again.

566
00:43:02,153 --> 00:43:05,068
The family will be down
in a moment, madam.

567
00:43:18,026 --> 00:43:20,941
<i>- What's your name?</i>

568
00:43:45,528 --> 00:43:48,273
- <i>Good morning, Miss Cheril.</i>
- Who's she?

569
00:43:48,345 --> 00:43:51,350
Miss Webster has called
to see Mrs. Robinson.

570
00:43:51,426 --> 00:43:55,335
- Can I offer you anything,
Miss Webster?
- No, thank you.

571
00:43:55,403 --> 00:43:57,853
- Are you Joan Webster?
- Yes.

572
00:43:57,921 --> 00:44:00,632
You're going to marry
Sir Robert Bellinger?

573
00:44:00,705 --> 00:44:02,953
- Yes. Do you mind?
<i>- I don't mind.</i>

574
00:44:03,024 --> 00:44:05,668
He's rich, isn't he?

575
00:44:05,742 --> 00:44:07,854
Well, I haven't counted
his money.

576
00:44:07,928 --> 00:44:09,939
Are you rich?

577
00:44:10,016 --> 00:44:12,332
No.

578
00:44:15,019 --> 00:44:17,663
Excuse me, madam.
Can I have the afternoon off?

579
00:44:17,736 --> 00:44:20,119
Now, Martin, that's too bad,
but I'm playing bridge.

580
00:44:20,189 --> 00:44:23,860
<i>- I see, madam.</i>
<i>Then that's quite all right.</i>
<i>- What do you mean?</i>

581
00:44:23,933 --> 00:44:26,881
I'd intended to spend the evening
at Achnacroish myself, madam.

582
00:44:26,948 --> 00:44:30,258
What do you mean? Has Mrs. Crozier
asked you to make a fois?

583
00:44:30,328 --> 00:44:33,796
No, madam. I'm invited by Mr. Campbell,
Mr. Crozier's head gardener.

584
00:44:33,874 --> 00:44:36,257
He's giving a ceilidh.
It's his diamond wedding.

585
00:44:36,326 --> 00:44:39,297
Diamond wedding.
Fancy being married to you for 60 years.

586
00:44:39,374 --> 00:44:42,153
Well, if Mr. Robinson doesn't mind,
I don't. We leave at 4:00.

587
00:44:42,223 --> 00:44:44,144
- Thank you.
- That's all right, Martin.

588
00:44:44,212 --> 00:44:47,748
<i>Adam, surely you told me Robert</i>
<i>was having breakfast with us!</i>

589
00:44:47,823 --> 00:44:50,930
<i>No, my dear. I said that Robert's</i>
<i>fiancee was coming to breakfast.</i>

590
00:44:51,005 --> 00:44:53,389
- Here she is.
- This is wonderful!

591
00:44:53,457 --> 00:44:55,739
My dear, we're
going to be such friends.

592
00:44:55,810 --> 00:44:59,515
That man woke me up
and mumbled something.
I had no idea you were here.

593
00:44:59,588 --> 00:45:02,626
I'd have been down in a flash.
What did Robert say your name was?

594
00:45:02,702 --> 00:45:05,673
- But we'll be calling you
Lady Bellinger soon.
- Her name's Joan Webster.

595
00:45:05,751 --> 00:45:09,388
Good morning, Cheril darling.
You, of course, know everything.

596
00:45:09,462 --> 00:45:12,704
If only we'd known
that you were stranded here.
You brought your luggage?

597
00:45:12,776 --> 00:45:16,153
Have the blue guest chamber open
for the future Lady Bellinger, Hooper.

598
00:45:16,222 --> 00:45:19,464
- Well, really, I do...
- Oh, say no more.
I'm one of Robert's oldest friends,

599
00:45:19,535 --> 00:45:21,884
and you're
going to be his wife.

600
00:45:21,954 --> 00:45:24,767
Now, let's have a look at you.

601
00:45:24,837 --> 00:45:27,718
Oh, yes, you pass with honors.

602
00:45:27,786 --> 00:45:30,667
That reminds me,
we need a fourth at bridge.

603
00:45:30,735 --> 00:45:34,237
<i>We are going this afternoon</i>
<i>to old Rebecca Crozier's. Do you play?</i>

604
00:45:34,314 --> 00:45:37,127
- No.
- Oh, this generation.

605
00:45:37,197 --> 00:45:40,078
Mind you, Cheril plays,
but we're not quite in her class.

606
00:45:40,145 --> 00:45:43,060
She says we play a stingy game,
don't you, Cheril?

607
00:45:43,127 --> 00:45:47,691
Oh, fairy stories at breakfast.
Are you coming with us to see
Auntie Crozier, darling?

608
00:45:47,767 --> 00:45:50,682
- It depends.
- Now, that's too bad of you.

609
00:45:50,749 --> 00:45:53,528
You promised.
Daddy's a witness.

610
00:46:01,352 --> 00:46:04,063
Well, how are you, my dears?
Come in. Come in.

611
00:46:04,136 --> 00:46:07,311
<i>Rebecca, darling,</i>
<i>you look wonderful!</i>

612
00:46:07,383 --> 00:46:09,632
Murdoch, you go
and light the lamp.

613
00:46:09,702 --> 00:46:12,447
I'm sorry to have kept you
all standing in the wind.

614
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,440
Cheril.

615
00:46:15,567 --> 00:46:17,782
<i>Who is this</i>
<i>charming young lady?</i>

616
00:46:17,854 --> 00:46:20,859
<i>This is Joan Webster,</i>
<i>who's going to marry Robert Bellinger.</i>

617
00:46:20,936 --> 00:46:23,975
- Oh, I congratulate him.
- How do you do?

618
00:46:24,050 --> 00:46:27,553
- Put down your things,
everybody, anywhere.
- Undo your own buttons.

619
00:46:27,629 --> 00:46:31,199
How on earth can you manage with three
people in a house like Achnacroish?

620
00:46:31,274 --> 00:46:34,347
<i>- Oh, I always have plenty of guests.</i>
- They give so much work.

621
00:46:34,422 --> 00:46:37,461
<i>Not my guests, my dear.</i>
<i>Torquil, these are friends of mine.</i>

622
00:46:37,536 --> 00:46:40,281
<i>They've taken Sorne.</i>
<i>The English family Robinson.</i>

623
00:46:40,354 --> 00:46:42,432
- How do you do?
<i>- This is Joan Webster.</i>

624
00:46:42,507 --> 00:46:44,755
- How do you do, Miss Webster?
- How do you do?

625
00:46:44,827 --> 00:46:47,865
<i>- Hope you've got a good long leave.</i>
- Six more days.

626
00:46:47,942 --> 00:46:51,376
- <i>It's certainly far enough</i>
<i>from the war here.</i>
- Plates, Torquil.

627
00:46:51,453 --> 00:46:55,261
- Anything else, ma'am?
- No, thank you.

628
00:46:55,330 --> 00:46:58,302
<i>One, two, three, four, five,</i>
<i>and half for the little one.</i>

629
00:46:58,379 --> 00:47:03,282
Did you know, Torquil, this young lady's
going to be the mistress of your house?

630
00:47:03,350 --> 00:47:06,298
I hope you'll be
very happy there.

631
00:47:06,365 --> 00:47:09,076
- I'm sure I shall.
- Are you the owner of Kiloran?

632
00:47:09,148 --> 00:47:13,916
Really? How interesting. You know,
we nearly took Kiloran ourselves.

633
00:47:13,986 --> 00:47:16,460
We found it just
a little bit too expensive.

634
00:47:16,538 --> 00:47:19,316
Your agent asked
an enormous rent for it.

635
00:47:19,388 --> 00:47:22,031
I'm afraid that's the only
income I ever get from Kiloran.

636
00:47:22,105 --> 00:47:25,280
You see, for three years' rent,
I can live there myself for six.

637
00:47:25,352 --> 00:47:28,199
- That's highland economics.
- Everybody's had tea?

638
00:47:28,268 --> 00:47:30,279
- Rebecca!
- Yes, please.

639
00:47:30,355 --> 00:47:34,694
If I was to let my house,
I should never live to enjoy
the money I would get for it.

640
00:47:34,763 --> 00:47:38,434
Oh, you'll outlive us all.
Achnacroish is a breeding
place for Methuselahs.

641
00:47:38,507 --> 00:47:41,975
- Look at Campbell.
<i>- Gardener's giving the Ceilidh.</i>
<i>Martin's invited.</i>

642
00:47:42,052 --> 00:47:45,091
Campbell's diamond wedding.
Quite a start on you, my dear.

643
00:47:45,167 --> 00:47:48,511
- I'll catch up.
- I shall have to put in
an appearance later on.

644
00:47:48,581 --> 00:47:52,083
- But bridge first. Thank you.
<i>- Yes, bridge first.</i>

645
00:47:52,159 --> 00:47:54,836
Have you ever seen
any highland dancing?

646
00:47:54,909 --> 00:47:56,830
No, never.

647
00:47:56,898 --> 00:47:59,440
You ought to see our
Oban gathering in peacetime.

648
00:47:59,515 --> 00:48:04,678
Of course, it's not so big or
famous and Braymar or Inverness,
but it has its own quality.

649
00:48:04,751 --> 00:48:09,021
<i>- You came through Oban?</i>
- Yes. The harbor was wonderful.
And that lovely green island.

650
00:48:09,092 --> 00:48:12,662
<i>Imagine it full of yachts,</i>
<i>big and small.</i>

651
00:48:12,736 --> 00:48:15,617
And there's racing
and highland games all day.

652
00:48:15,686 --> 00:48:19,459
And at night...
at night, they give a ball.

653
00:48:19,529 --> 00:48:22,997
You can't imagine what
a wonderful sight it is.

654
00:48:23,074 --> 00:48:27,311
The assembly rooms are all hung
with special hangings in dark red.

655
00:48:27,382 --> 00:48:31,257
And the women wear tiaras,
those that have them.

656
00:48:31,326 --> 00:48:33,902
Oh, the place blazes
with jewels.

657
00:48:33,976 --> 00:48:36,925
The men... The men are more
splendid than the women.

658
00:48:36,991 --> 00:48:42,448
<i>With their velvet doublets</i>
<i>and scarlet waistcoats,</i>

659
00:48:42,526 --> 00:48:44,638
<i>Their lace, cuffs and jabots.</i>

660
00:48:44,713 --> 00:48:48,588
<i>Their buttons of gold</i>
<i>and silver, their cairngorms.</i>

661
00:48:48,655 --> 00:48:52,158
Their buckle shoes and their <i>filibegs</i>
of every shade and color.

662
00:48:52,234 --> 00:48:55,737
<i>And the pipes play,</i>
<i>and we dance.</i>

663
00:48:55,813 --> 00:48:58,230
We dance all night...

664
00:48:58,298 --> 00:49:01,766
till the sun shines
through the curtains.

665
00:49:01,843 --> 00:49:05,413
Lovely.
What does <i>filibeg</i> mean?

666
00:49:05,489 --> 00:49:08,404
The kilt. It really means
"the little kilt" as worn nowadays.

667
00:49:08,471 --> 00:49:12,312
Now, what about bridge?
Joan doesn't play.

668
00:49:12,381 --> 00:49:15,793
- <i>Do you play, Mr. MacNeil?</i>
- Oh, I'm sorry, no.

669
00:49:24,177 --> 00:49:26,753
- I can't see from here.
- You can see more from the ladder.

670
00:49:26,828 --> 00:49:29,607
Do you mind going up
a little further?

671
00:49:49,062 --> 00:49:51,910
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.

672
00:49:51,978 --> 00:49:55,356
Martin, it's Scottish,
not a minuet.

673
00:50:16,664 --> 00:50:19,375
Three pipers. They must've
come over from the mainland.

674
00:50:30,251 --> 00:50:33,323
<i>Oh, that was fine.</i>

675
00:50:39,562 --> 00:50:41,810
Do you think you could
dance the Scottish?

676
00:50:41,881 --> 00:50:43,993
- I think so.
- Good.

677
00:50:44,067 --> 00:50:46,982
- I suppose we ought to go back now.
- Oh, no hurry.

678
00:51:17,236 --> 00:51:21,202
Friends and neighbors,
I ask a hundred thousand blessings
on my father and mother.

679
00:51:21,279 --> 00:51:24,488
They're 60 years married this day.

680
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,034
Peace and happiness be with them.

681
00:51:27,111 --> 00:51:29,890
The pride of the great Clan Campbell.

682
00:51:32,744 --> 00:51:35,388

Hurrah, hurrah

683
00:51:35,461 --> 00:51:37,676
<i>
<i>Hurrah, hurrah

684
00:51:37,747 --> 00:51:40,221

Hurrah, hurrah

685
00:51:40,300 --> 00:51:42,344

Hurrah, hurrah

686
00:51:42,420 --> 00:51:44,837

Hurrah, hurrah

687
00:51:44,906 --> 00:51:47,356

Hurrah, hurrah

688
00:51:47,424 --> 00:51:50,666
Speech! Speech!

689
00:51:50,737 --> 00:51:53,381
Come on, Mr. Campbell.

690
00:51:59,817 --> 00:52:03,782
Well... no, no, no, no.

691
00:52:24,238 --> 00:52:27,740
How about you and I going outside
and having a little ceilidh on our own?

692
00:52:37,061 --> 00:52:39,241
A ceilidh!

693
00:52:42,032 --> 00:52:45,772
- I went down to Erraig this morning.
- I know.

694
00:52:45,842 --> 00:52:49,152
- I went into Moy Castle.
- Did you?

695
00:52:49,222 --> 00:52:53,424
- Shall I tell you
what it's like inside?
- Yes, please.

696
00:52:53,497 --> 00:52:56,569
It's just as you told me
in the story.

697
00:52:56,644 --> 00:52:59,118
I saw the hall
where MacNeil feasted...

698
00:52:59,196 --> 00:53:01,478
and the dungeon
and the thickness of the wall.

699
00:53:01,549 --> 00:53:04,260
It's awful.

700
00:53:04,332 --> 00:53:07,010
And on the ramparts
at the top, there's a stone-

701
00:53:07,082 --> 00:53:10,550
- With a curse written on it.
- You've been inside.

702
00:53:10,628 --> 00:53:13,406
No, but I was young once.
I had a nanny.

703
00:53:13,478 --> 00:53:16,189
- No!
- Mm-hmm.

704
00:53:16,261 --> 00:53:20,035
- Anyway, I've read it.
- It's a terrible strong curse.

705
00:53:20,105 --> 00:53:22,284
- Terrible.
<i>- Leave me alone.</i>

706
00:53:22,358 --> 00:53:26,199
- Now you know why a MacNeil
dreads to enter the castle.
<i>- No! No! No!</i>

707
00:53:26,268 --> 00:53:29,115
- Careful.
<i>- Yes, yes, yes.</i>

708
00:53:33,756 --> 00:53:36,898
Campbell, don't be silly.
It's only you I love.

709
00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:40,445
- You do?
- Yes.

710
00:54:09,179 --> 00:54:12,127
Come and get it!

711
00:54:12,194 --> 00:54:14,114
- Buns?
- Aye.

712
00:54:14,182 --> 00:54:16,656
Excuse me, but is you not
MacNeil of Kiloran?

713
00:54:16,734 --> 00:54:19,615
- Yes, and you'll be a Campbell.
- John Campbell of Kiloran.

714
00:54:19,683 --> 00:54:21,761
I must tell my father
that you're here.

715
00:54:21,837 --> 00:54:24,152
You'll do nothing of the sort.
A MacNeil at a Campbell ceilidh.

716
00:54:26,211 --> 00:54:28,357
Hey!

717
00:54:36,019 --> 00:54:39,261
Wait a minute now!

718
00:54:40,657 --> 00:54:41,776
Allister.

719
00:54:47,716 --> 00:54:51,953
That's a fine song.
"Naught Brown Maidens."
Do you know it?

720
00:54:52,023 --> 00:54:54,599
Tune up, boys!

721
00:54:54,675 --> 00:54:59,578
It goes,
"A Rome and a brown maiden.

722
00:54:59,645 --> 00:55:02,526
"A ream and a brown maiden.

723
00:55:02,594 --> 00:55:07,893
Row, row, row, maiden.
You are the maid for me."

724
00:55:17,074 --> 00:55:20,113
Kiloran!
Is that yourself, sir?

725
00:55:20,189 --> 00:55:23,861
Is this the way to treat an old friend
on the day of his diamond wedding?

726
00:55:23,933 --> 00:55:26,249
We didn't want to intrude,
Mr. Campbell.

727
00:55:26,319 --> 00:55:29,064
Here's length of good life
to you and Mrs. Campbell.

728
00:55:29,136 --> 00:55:32,412
Thank you indeed, Kiloran.
Intrude, is it?

729
00:55:32,483 --> 00:55:36,550
You and your lady must come in
and meet Mrs. Campbell.

730
00:55:36,625 --> 00:55:40,127
- Torquil, I must go.
- You can't go now.

731
00:55:40,203 --> 00:55:43,016
<i>It's going to be</i>
<i>a grand ceilidh, just grand.</i>

732
00:55:43,086 --> 00:55:46,000
It's very good of you,
but Kiloran knows I must get back.

733
00:55:46,068 --> 00:55:47,989
Kiloran knows
nothing of the sort.

734
00:55:48,056 --> 00:55:50,632
<i>You must see the dancing.</i>

735
00:55:50,708 --> 00:55:52,719
But I saw perfectly well
from here, thank you.

736
00:55:52,795 --> 00:55:56,037
You've seen nothing yet, milady.
We've got three pipers.

737
00:55:56,108 --> 00:56:00,378
Three of'em, just by luck. They were
ordered by the rich man on Kiloran.

738
00:56:00,449 --> 00:56:04,945
Just by luck, they couldn't get.
It was the gale stopped them.

739
00:56:05,022 --> 00:56:08,027
Cheer up.
They are your pipers.

740
00:56:08,103 --> 00:56:10,081
How do you do,
Mrs. Campbell?

741
00:56:10,158 --> 00:56:13,299
This is Miss Webster.

742
00:56:22,883 --> 00:56:25,300
- Good night.
- Excuse me, miss. And you, sir.

743
00:56:25,367 --> 00:56:28,779
May I be allowed to say that you
were the best dancers at the ceilidh.

744
00:56:28,847 --> 00:56:30,768
Thank you, Martin.

745
00:56:35,441 --> 00:56:37,723
Please, please, God.

746
00:56:39,152 --> 00:56:43,389
You know how important it is
for me to get to Kiloran.

747
00:56:43,459 --> 00:56:45,380
Please...

748
00:56:46,939 --> 00:56:49,786
let the gale drop...

749
00:56:49,855 --> 00:56:52,826
or let me get
to the island somehow.

750
00:56:54,461 --> 00:56:56,934
Please.

751
00:56:57,012 --> 00:56:58,932
Please.

752
00:57:23,918 --> 00:57:25,929
- Morning, Bridie.
<i>- Hello, Kiloran.</i>

753
00:57:26,006 --> 00:57:28,118
Hello, Kenny.

754
00:57:28,193 --> 00:57:30,769
- Good morning, Miss Webster.
- Wind's backing a bit.

755
00:57:30,844 --> 00:57:33,488
Uh-huh. It's not blowing
near so hard.

756
00:57:33,561 --> 00:57:36,804
Oh, yes, tomorrow we'll be crossing
to Kiloran, or maybe the day after.

757
00:57:36,874 --> 00:57:40,546
- But not today?
- Himself is going to Tobermory
by the bus to see the dentist.

758
00:57:40,619 --> 00:57:43,229
- Tooth aching this morning?
- No, but if he doesn't go now,

759
00:57:43,303 --> 00:57:46,015
there's no saying when
the next gale will be.

760
00:57:46,086 --> 00:57:48,865
It's only then
himself has the time.

761
00:57:48,936 --> 00:57:52,935
Saw you at the ceilidh.
How old are you, Bridie?

762
00:57:53,012 --> 00:57:55,655
- I'll be 17.
- You'll be marrying soon.

763
00:57:55,729 --> 00:57:58,372
When the right man comes along.

764
00:57:58,446 --> 00:58:00,491
- How old are you, Kenny?
- Eighteen.

765
00:58:00,567 --> 00:58:03,245
Getting on. Not thinking
of taking a wife?

766
00:58:03,317 --> 00:58:05,362
Oh, I'll be called up soon.

767
00:58:05,437 --> 00:58:08,510
But anyway, I'd have to wait
another three or four years.

768
00:58:08,585 --> 00:58:10,800
- Or even more.
- Why is that, Kenny?

769
00:58:10,872 --> 00:58:13,651
- It takes money to get married.
- How much?

770
00:58:13,722 --> 00:58:15,642
Twenty pounds.

771
00:58:15,710 --> 00:58:18,624
- Himself is asking that for
half a share in the boat.
- Who's himself?

772
00:58:18,692 --> 00:58:20,613
- Ruairidh Mhor.
- Father.

773
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,589
I should have thought
he would've given you a share
as a wedding present, Kenny.

774
00:58:24,656 --> 00:58:28,622
If Kenny can buy half, he'll get the
other half for nothing, right enough.

775
00:58:28,699 --> 00:58:30,914
- Good day to you, milady.
- Good day.

776
00:58:30,985 --> 00:58:33,200
- Good day to you, Kiloran.
- I wish it was.

777
00:58:33,271 --> 00:58:35,949
Oh, it will be.
Yes, yes, it will be.

778
00:58:36,022 --> 00:58:38,304
Oh, yes, yes,
indeed it will be.

779
00:58:40,363 --> 00:58:42,408
Yes, yes, it will be.

780
00:58:42,483 --> 00:58:45,398
Of course, I am not saying it is
not blowing as much as it was,

781
00:58:45,465 --> 00:58:47,386
but it is near the end of it.

782
00:58:47,454 --> 00:58:50,063
Indeed, it is just
like the sun, milady.

783
00:58:50,138 --> 00:58:52,951
It seems always biggest
just before it sets.

784
00:58:53,021 --> 00:58:56,093
- A poet, Ruairidh, boy.
- Do you think we can cross today?

785
00:58:56,169 --> 00:58:58,214
No, no, no, milady, no.

786
00:58:58,289 --> 00:59:01,068
Well, will you stand by
in case it drops?

787
00:59:01,139 --> 00:59:04,777
I'll pay you for your time, of course.
You said it might blow down.

788
00:59:04,850 --> 00:59:08,318
It's very important.
I must get across.

789
00:59:08,396 --> 00:59:10,610
I'll pay you
anything you ask.

790
00:59:10,682 --> 00:59:14,783
I will take you to Kiloran as soon
as it is humanly possible, milady,

791
00:59:14,858 --> 00:59:18,168
and I will not be wanting
extra payment for that.

792
00:59:20,126 --> 00:59:22,341
We'll be up at the house.

793
00:59:22,412 --> 00:59:26,321
And I will be in Tobermory.
Fine doings indeed.

794
00:59:26,388 --> 00:59:30,060
That girl is so foolish.
She's a woman already.

795
00:59:42,891 --> 00:59:45,602
<i>- Who is it?</i>
- The islanders.

796
00:59:45,674 --> 00:59:49,549
<i>- Oh, stay to lunch. Rabbit.</i>
<i>Colonel's doing it.</i>
- Good.

797
00:59:49,617 --> 00:59:51,796
- Hello, Joan.
- Hello.

798
00:59:54,621 --> 00:59:56,134
Hello.

799
01:00:00,419 --> 01:00:02,893
- Torquil.
- Yes?

800
01:00:07,643 --> 01:00:10,219
Will you do me
a very great favor?

801
01:00:10,294 --> 01:00:12,214
Yes.

802
01:00:12,282 --> 01:00:15,095
Will you help me
to get to Kiloran?

803
01:00:15,165 --> 01:00:18,905
If I had a fair-sized boat.
But I haven't even a small one.

804
01:00:18,975 --> 01:00:21,585
But Ruairidh
would listen to you.

805
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:24,404
If you asked him,
he'd try to get me there.

806
01:00:24,476 --> 01:00:27,221
- Besides, you're wasting
your whole leave.
- I don't mind.

807
01:00:27,292 --> 01:00:30,930
Yes, you do. You love Kiloran.
You haven't been there for years.

808
01:00:31,003 --> 01:00:34,042
I don't mind.

809
01:00:39,751 --> 01:00:42,530
<i>- You won't ask him?</i>
- No. You don't understand.

810
01:00:42,602 --> 01:00:45,573
It's his job to take us across...
his duty, if you like.

811
01:00:45,649 --> 01:00:48,463
If he could, he would.
Can't you wait till tomorrow?

812
01:00:49,891 --> 01:00:53,529
I can't ask him
to risk his life or yours.

813
01:00:53,602 --> 01:00:56,483
He's been out in a gale
often enough.

814
01:00:56,551 --> 01:01:00,981
- If a ship was in danger...
- It's different when people
are in danger and need help.

815
01:01:01,058 --> 01:01:03,374
Yes, but...

816
01:01:03,443 --> 01:01:05,759
What?

817
01:01:05,830 --> 01:01:09,366
I want help desperately.

818
01:01:09,442 --> 01:01:12,390
Do you think it will
blow out tomorrow?

819
01:01:12,457 --> 01:01:15,067
- I don't think so.
- Do you think there will be a lull?

820
01:01:15,141 --> 01:01:17,423
<i>Great news.</i>
<i>Congratulate me, young lady.</i>

821
01:01:17,494 --> 01:01:20,205
Torquil the eagle is found.
His good name's cleared.

822
01:01:20,276 --> 01:01:22,852
It was a fox killing the lambs.
A shepherd saw it.

823
01:01:22,928 --> 01:01:25,605
- The old boy's safe and sound.
- Found.

824
01:01:25,678 --> 01:01:28,129
I'm off there after lunch
with a lure.

825
01:01:28,196 --> 01:01:30,975
By gad, I hope I get him back.
You coming?

826
01:01:31,046 --> 01:01:33,995
I'd like to.
What about you?

827
01:01:34,061 --> 01:01:36,535
We'll be back by tea time.

828
01:01:36,612 --> 01:01:38,895
I think I'll stay here.

829
01:02:14,454 --> 01:02:18,589
Any sign of your godson, Torquil?

830
01:02:18,663 --> 01:02:23,193
No. But I can see
something else.

831
01:02:29,133 --> 01:02:31,640
So that's it.

832
01:02:31,718 --> 01:02:33,966
There ought to be a law
about trees.

833
01:02:36,787 --> 01:02:39,702
You know, Torquil...

834
01:02:42,685 --> 01:02:44,606
Pot him.

835
01:02:47,358 --> 01:02:51,662
<i>Please, ma'am, I'd like</i>
<i>to be speaking to Miss Webster.</i>

836
01:02:51,731 --> 01:02:54,646
- Bridie wants to speak to you.
- What is it, Bridie?

837
01:02:54,714 --> 01:02:58,622
It's about the boat, miss. Don't
be thinking of taking it out, miss.

838
01:02:58,690 --> 01:03:02,000
- Himself will murder Kenny.
- Nonsense.
I'll look after your father.

839
01:03:02,070 --> 01:03:05,313
Anyway, Kenny's a man. He's taken out
the boat alone many times.

840
01:03:05,384 --> 01:03:08,593
But never in a gale!
Himself would never take it out.

841
01:03:08,664 --> 01:03:12,370
But it's blowing out. Your father
said so. It's going down all the time.

842
01:03:12,442 --> 01:03:16,407
<i>- Himself would never take it out today.</i>
- What about the money?

843
01:03:16,484 --> 01:03:19,918
<i>Do you want to wait another</i>
<i>four years to marry him?</i>

844
01:03:19,996 --> 01:03:22,674
Well, I would, then,
if it has to be.

845
01:03:22,747 --> 01:03:26,385
Some folks there are can't be waiting
a day to satisfy their passions.

846
01:03:26,458 --> 01:03:28,175
What are you saying?

847
01:03:28,248 --> 01:03:32,880
Some folks there are
want to drown fine young men
and break poor giris' hearts...

848
01:03:32,953 --> 01:03:35,202
so that they can be wedded
one day sooner!

849
01:03:35,272 --> 01:03:38,548
- You'd better get out!
- I'll get out when I please.

850
01:03:38,619 --> 01:03:41,691
Who are you to be giving orders,
you that come to this city...

851
01:03:41,767 --> 01:03:44,772
with your airs and graces
and your heart of stone?

852
01:03:44,848 --> 01:03:48,057
Why should you think that
our lives don't matter at all...

853
01:03:48,129 --> 01:03:50,672
and that yours is so important?

854
01:03:50,746 --> 01:03:55,119
But you don't understand.
Bridie, don't cry.

855
01:03:55,187 --> 01:03:58,690
You think that I'm risking Kenny's life
when I could stay safely here.

856
01:03:58,765 --> 01:04:03,635
<i>But I'm not safe here. I'm on the brink</i>
<i>of losing everything I ever wanted.</i>

857
01:04:06,586 --> 01:04:09,501
What do you think you're doing?

858
01:04:09,568 --> 01:04:12,042
I'm off to take
Miss Webster to Kiloran.

859
01:04:12,119 --> 01:04:15,068
You're off to losing
Ruairidh's boat and drowning.

860
01:04:15,134 --> 01:04:18,173
Don't be a fool, Kenny.
How much did she pay you?

861
01:04:18,250 --> 01:04:21,391
Twenty pounds.
Now who's the fool?

862
01:04:21,463 --> 01:04:25,237
I'll make it up to you. Come on, boy.
Give her back her dirty money.

863
01:04:25,308 --> 01:04:29,183
Ah, Kiloran, I can't do it.
I promised.

864
01:04:29,251 --> 01:04:32,256
She made me promise,
and that's the truth of it.

865
01:04:36,939 --> 01:04:38,859
- Oh, Kiloran!
- Where's Miss Webster?

866
01:04:38,927 --> 01:04:42,994
She's in the flat. Please, Kiloran,
don't let her be taking Kenny.

867
01:04:44,527 --> 01:04:46,809
- Go on, say something.
- I will.

868
01:04:46,879 --> 01:04:49,828
Are you a complete fool?
Well?

869
01:04:49,894 --> 01:04:52,109
How dare you speak
to me like that?

870
01:04:52,180 --> 01:04:56,213
Is it not enough that you've been told
that you cannot sail today?

871
01:04:56,290 --> 01:04:58,866
Ruairidh said it was going down.
Kenny said so too.

872
01:04:58,940 --> 01:05:01,584
What do you expect Kenny
to say? You bought him!

873
01:05:01,657 --> 01:05:05,826
- There's no need to shout!
- Why, the lad has never seen
�20 in his life.

874
01:05:05,899 --> 01:05:09,401
If you must commit suicide,
why can't you do it in Manchester?

875
01:05:09,478 --> 01:05:12,517
Don't shout at me!
You're insulting!

876
01:05:12,592 --> 01:05:14,874
- And stop bothering about me!
- What about Kenny?

877
01:05:14,945 --> 01:05:18,153
- Well, what about him?
- What about Bridie?
What about the crew?

878
01:05:18,225 --> 01:05:20,970
What about their wives?
What about their children?

879
01:05:21,042 --> 01:05:23,392
Do you think I'm standing here
wasting time over you?

880
01:05:23,461 --> 01:05:26,308
- I'm not interested in your reasons.
- Are you not?

881
01:05:26,377 --> 01:05:29,191
Are you interested
in anything but yourself?

882
01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:31,677
I do know how to mind
own business!

883
01:05:31,745 --> 01:05:34,490
That won't carry you far
on this island or on Kiloran.

884
01:05:34,561 --> 01:05:36,482
You can have this island,
and you can have Kiloran!

885
01:05:36,549 --> 01:05:39,724
Fine! Then you won't be
in any hurry to get there.

886
01:05:42,846 --> 01:05:46,348
You can't think you know more
about these waters than Ruairidh.

887
01:05:46,425 --> 01:05:49,667
Why do you think he refused
to take you? Because he's stubborn?

888
01:05:49,738 --> 01:05:51,986
Because he wanted to go
to the dentist.

889
01:05:52,057 --> 01:05:55,198
Oh, go ahead, then!

890
01:05:55,271 --> 01:05:57,745
And drown yourself!

891
01:06:08,526 --> 01:06:11,565
<i>- You heard, I suppose.</i>
- They heard you in Tobermory.

892
01:06:15,385 --> 01:06:17,667
- Torquil.
<i>- Mm-hmm?</i>

893
01:06:17,738 --> 01:06:20,618
- They'll never make it.
- What do you expect me to do?

894
01:06:20,687 --> 01:06:23,760
Lock her in her room?
She'd only jump out the window.

895
01:06:23,834 --> 01:06:26,410
She doesn't realize the danger.

896
01:06:26,486 --> 01:06:29,457
And you're the last
person to stop her.

897
01:06:29,534 --> 01:06:31,512
I?

898
01:06:31,588 --> 01:06:34,763
<i>She's running away from you!</i>

899
01:06:36,989 --> 01:06:39,102
Say that again.

900
01:06:47,361 --> 01:06:49,643
<i>Hold on there!</i>

901
01:06:51,337 --> 01:06:53,620
Give me that case.

902
01:08:56,557 --> 01:08:59,302
Are you the praying type?

903
01:09:02,323 --> 01:09:05,238
- Sometimes. Are you?
- Always.

904
01:09:05,305 --> 01:09:09,214
If we can stay on our course
and right side up, we've got a chance.

905
01:09:09,282 --> 01:09:11,236
Aren't we on our course?

906
01:09:11,304 --> 01:09:14,218
Every mile nearer Kiloran,
we're two miles nearer Scaba.

907
01:09:14,286 --> 01:09:16,331
- Is that dangerous?
- Yes.

908
01:09:16,406 --> 01:09:18,948
- Why?
- Corryvreckan.

909
01:09:19,024 --> 01:09:21,272
The whirlpool.

910
01:09:21,344 --> 01:09:24,450
You never finished the story
about the Norwegian prince.

911
01:09:24,525 --> 01:09:26,840
You said that two ropes broke.

912
01:09:26,910 --> 01:09:29,983
What happened to the one made
from the hair of faithful maidens?

913
01:09:30,058 --> 01:09:33,470
It held until the tide turned.
Nothing is stronger than love.

914
01:09:33,538 --> 01:09:36,012
No, nothing.

915
01:09:36,089 --> 01:09:38,665
- Feeling sick?
- Oh, no.

916
01:09:38,740 --> 01:09:41,881
No, I'm all right.
Go on.

917
01:09:41,954 --> 01:09:46,056
But one maiden was untrue
to her lover. Only one.

918
01:09:46,129 --> 01:09:50,061
And when that strand broke,
the whole rope broke with it.

919
01:09:54,314 --> 01:09:55,895
Kiloran!

920
01:10:03,824 --> 01:10:06,400
Get down under the hood
and hang on!

921
01:10:34,673 --> 01:10:37,023
Don't worry about that!
Get under!

922
01:11:00,685 --> 01:11:02,605
<i>Look out!</i>

923
01:11:07,478 --> 01:11:09,895
<i>Hang on!</i>

924
01:11:09,963 --> 01:11:13,703
<i>Ohh! My dress!</i>

925
01:11:33,092 --> 01:11:34,979
Don't mess about! Bail!

926
01:12:04,273 --> 01:12:06,747
This is the way to bail!

927
01:12:08,912 --> 01:12:11,725
Engine's washed out.
I've gotta take it apart.

928
01:12:11,795 --> 01:12:14,936
- What can I do?
- Keep bailing.

929
01:12:15,008 --> 01:12:16,929
And pray.

930
01:12:37,607 --> 01:12:39,527
Keep it up.

931
01:12:41,550 --> 01:12:43,471
Clean that.

932
01:12:57,091 --> 01:12:59,271
Corryvreckan.

933
01:13:54,051 --> 01:13:56,231
Get the cover!

934
01:14:01,574 --> 01:14:03,619
Hurry up.

935
01:14:03,694 --> 01:14:07,829
If I can get it started before
the tide turns, we've got a chance.

936
01:14:25,630 --> 01:14:28,873
Tide's still with us.
We'll do it yet.

937
01:15:22,789 --> 01:15:26,032
Now! Pray!

938
01:15:42,770 --> 01:15:45,515
Your credit
must be good in heaven.

939
01:15:45,588 --> 01:15:49,553
They know a good prayer
when they hear one.

940
01:17:36,228 --> 01:17:38,544
So, you're back!

941
01:18:01,576 --> 01:18:03,926
Big strong man.

942
01:18:29,212 --> 01:18:31,629
Off and bed.

943
01:18:31,698 --> 01:18:34,375
There's a fire in my room,
and that's where you'll sleep.

944
01:18:42,234 --> 01:18:45,578
My dear chap, my very dear chap,

945
01:18:45,648 --> 01:18:48,065
you've missed the experience
of a lifetime!

946
01:18:48,133 --> 01:18:50,110
- Have I?
- You certainly have.

947
01:18:50,187 --> 01:18:54,062
While you've been messing about,
a new chapter has been written
in the history of falconry.

948
01:18:54,130 --> 01:18:57,272
- Oh, you've got him back.
- Ah, listen to this.

949
01:18:57,344 --> 01:19:01,479
He was up on the warren and
came to the lure like a lamb...
like a hawk, I mean.

950
01:19:01,553 --> 01:19:05,722
Then MacGillivray suggest a hunt for
this fox that's been killing the lambs.

951
01:19:05,794 --> 01:19:09,364
So we went off, and,
by gad, we found the fox,

952
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,354
and by Jimmy Christmas,
he caught it!

953
01:19:12,421 --> 01:19:14,737
- Caught it? Who?
- Torquil!

954
01:19:14,807 --> 01:19:17,281
Torquil the hunter.
Torquil the fox hunter!

955
01:19:17,359 --> 01:19:19,641
Stooped at the blighter
as though it was a rabbit.

956
01:19:19,711 --> 01:19:22,287
Killed him stone dead.
Here he is.

957
01:19:22,362 --> 01:19:25,367
God fox.
�20 of his allowance.

958
01:19:25,443 --> 01:19:28,358
I'm gonna have the brush
mounted for you, Torquil.

959
01:19:28,426 --> 01:19:30,504
Now what have you got to say?

960
01:19:30,580 --> 01:19:33,686
- Where is he?
- There, over the door!

961
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,715
<i>Isn't he a pippin?</i>

962
01:19:37,074 --> 01:19:40,780
Torquil, come on!

963
01:19:40,852 --> 01:19:44,727
<i>Wah, loo-loo-loo!</i>
<i>Tally-ho!</i>

964
01:19:44,796 --> 01:19:48,208
Get onto him!

965
01:19:48,274 --> 01:19:51,189
You must think I'm awful.

966
01:19:51,257 --> 01:19:53,968
I don't think anyone's awful.

967
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,249
Not even when I'm breaking
my neck to marry a rich man?

968
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,466
Oh, what's wrong with that?

969
01:19:59,541 --> 01:20:01,823
I thought you didn't care
about money.

970
01:20:01,893 --> 01:20:05,396
Who says so?
I'd swim to Oban for �10.

971
01:20:05,472 --> 01:20:07,787
Glasgow for 20.

972
01:20:10,077 --> 01:20:12,461
And what about Torquil?

973
01:20:12,529 --> 01:20:14,913
He'd do it for 15.

974
01:20:16,175 --> 01:20:18,096
Oh.

975
01:20:18,163 --> 01:20:22,366
But I thought that you and
Rebecca Crozier and Torquil...

976
01:20:22,437 --> 01:20:25,476
were perfectly happy
without money.

977
01:20:25,553 --> 01:20:27,902
What else can we do?

978
01:20:27,971 --> 01:20:30,320
Well, you could sell Erraig,

979
01:20:30,390 --> 01:20:33,067
and Rebecca
could sell Achnacroish...

980
01:20:33,141 --> 01:20:35,954
and Torquil
could sell Kiloran.

981
01:20:39,369 --> 01:20:41,290
Yes.

982
01:20:43,843 --> 01:20:46,351
But money isn't everything.

983
01:20:47,886 --> 01:20:50,066
Now go to sleep.

984
01:20:52,624 --> 01:20:54,545
Thank you.

985
01:20:55,872 --> 01:20:58,685
Good night, Catriona.

986
01:20:58,754 --> 01:21:02,460
And if you count the beams,

987
01:21:02,532 --> 01:21:05,571
your prayers will come true.

988
01:21:05,646 --> 01:21:08,391
I'm not praying tonight.

989
01:21:29,239 --> 01:21:32,312
Now, Torquil,
onto your perch.

990
01:21:34,673 --> 01:21:36,254
<i>That's it.</i>

991
01:21:39,512 --> 01:21:42,550
Torquil, you greedy swine!

992
01:21:42,626 --> 01:21:45,835
<i>Get... Get off!</i>

993
01:22:10,162 --> 01:22:13,077
I can't do anything
with my hair.

994
01:22:15,066 --> 01:22:17,540
I wonder what happened
to my wedding dress.

995
01:22:17,618 --> 01:22:19,968
A mermaid will marry in it.

996
01:22:21,130 --> 01:22:23,050
How is Kenny this morning?

997
01:22:23,118 --> 01:22:27,027
Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
He's helping Ruairidh with the boat.

998
01:22:27,094 --> 01:22:29,139
And who's to Kiloran?

999
01:22:29,215 --> 01:22:32,492
Not the colonel.
He's got his eagle back.

1000
01:22:32,562 --> 01:22:35,341
Not Kiloran.
The only persons I can see...

1001
01:22:35,412 --> 01:22:39,716
are you and three pipers.

1002
01:22:41,244 --> 01:22:44,057
- Is the boat coming?
- Yes, it's coming.

1003
01:22:50,721 --> 01:22:53,330
<i>I'd better go down and meet him.</i>

1004
01:22:53,405 --> 01:22:56,116
Always the little lady
doing the right thing.

1005
01:22:56,188 --> 01:22:58,638
I'm sorry.
I can't change myself.

1006
01:22:58,706 --> 01:23:01,282
You're all right as you are.

1007
01:23:01,358 --> 01:23:04,171
Bye-bye, Mrs. Potts.
I'm for the bus.

1008
01:23:07,156 --> 01:23:10,726
Good-bye, Catriona,
and thank you for everything.

1009
01:23:31,842 --> 01:23:34,192
Will you do something for me?

1010
01:23:34,261 --> 01:23:36,182
It depends.

1011
01:23:36,250 --> 01:23:39,887
I don't care where or when,
but somewhere, sometime,

1012
01:23:39,961 --> 01:23:43,395
will you have the pipers play
"A Rome and a Brown Maiden"?

1013
01:23:45,328 --> 01:23:47,441
It might be done.

1014
01:23:47,515 --> 01:23:50,260
Will you do something for me
before I go away?

1015
01:23:50,332 --> 01:23:51,913
It depends.

1016
01:23:55,070 --> 01:23:57,319
I want you to kiss me.

1017
01:25:58,634 --> 01:26:03,537
<i>Now, Mr. Torquil,</i>
<i>I've told you a thousand times.</i>

1018
01:26:03,604 --> 01:26:07,841
<i>Once upon a time,</i>
<i>hundreds of years ago,</i>

1019
01:26:07,912 --> 01:26:12,974
<i>MacNeil of Kiloran took</i>
<i>a beautiful wife from the mainland.</i>

1020
01:26:13,048 --> 01:26:16,483
<i>But she was in love</i>
<i>with a cousin of hers,</i>

1021
01:26:16,561 --> 01:26:19,938
<i>a MacLaine who held Moy Castle.</i>

1022
01:26:22,161 --> 01:26:24,511
<i>After a year and a day,</i>

1023
01:26:24,579 --> 01:26:27,889
<i>when her husband was away</i>
<i>ravaging the mainland,</i>

1024
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,502
<i>she escaped from Kiloran...</i>

1025
01:26:30,577 --> 01:26:33,526
<i>and took refuge in Moy Castle</i>
<i>with her lover.</i>

1026
01:26:35,746 --> 01:26:39,655
<i>One black night, Kiloran came.</i>

1027
01:26:39,723 --> 01:26:42,400
<i>He besieged</i>
<i>and took the castle...</i>

1028
01:26:42,473 --> 01:26:47,139
<i>and killed every soul</i>
<i>except the two lovers.</i>

<i>There's a deep dungeon just off</i>
<i>the back of the great hall.</i>

1030
01:26:56,456 --> 01:27:00,693
<i>It's a well</i>
<i>with nine feet of water in it...</i>

1031
01:27:00,764 --> 01:27:04,108
<i>and a rounded stone...</i>

1032
01:27:04,177 --> 01:27:07,917
<i>just big enough</i>
<i>for a man to stand upon...</i>

1033
01:27:07,988 --> 01:27:10,134
<i>or drown.</i>

1034
01:27:12,693 --> 01:27:17,393
<i>Kiloran stripped the two lovers,</i>
<i>chained them together...</i>

1035
01:27:17,465 --> 01:27:20,108
<i>and threw them into the dungeon.</i>

1036
01:27:20,182 --> 01:27:22,362
<i>He sat in the great hall...</i>

1037
01:27:22,435 --> 01:27:26,140
<i>feasting upon them</i>
<i>while they held one another...</i>

1038
01:27:26,212 --> 01:27:29,816
<i>above the water</i>
<i>till their strength failed...</i>

1039
01:27:29,890 --> 01:27:33,268
<i>and they dragged one another down.</i>

1040
01:27:35,888 --> 01:27:39,559
<i>Before she died,</i>
<i>the woman cursed Kiloran...</i>

1041
01:27:39,632 --> 01:27:42,774
<i>and every future</i>
<i>MacNeil of Kiloran...</i>

1042
01:27:42,846 --> 01:27:46,551
<i>if they should ever cross</i>
<i>the threshold of the castle.</i>

1043
01:27:46,624 --> 01:27:49,200
<i>There's the curse...</i>

1044
01:27:49,275 --> 01:27:52,709
<i>carved in stone on the ramparts.</i>

1045
01:27:52,787 --> 01:27:55,294
<i>There to this day.</i>

1046
01:27:58,122 --> 01:28:00,731
<i>It's a terrible strong curse.</i>

1047
01:28:00,806 --> 01:28:03,088
<i>It goes...</i>

1048
01:28:03,159 --> 01:28:07,497
<i>"This is the curse</i>
<i>of Catriona MacLaine of Erraig.</i>

1049
01:28:07,566 --> 01:28:11,407
<i>"My curse on MacNeil of Kiloran...</i>

1050
01:28:11,476 --> 01:28:14,514
<i>"and every MacNeil after him.</i>

1051
01:28:14,591 --> 01:28:18,556
<i>"If he shall ever cross</i>
<i>the threshold of Moy,</i>

1052
01:28:18,633 --> 01:28:23,197

1053

- Hi!
- Hi!

1054
01:29:19,670 --> 01:29:21,681
I was lying to you.

1055
01:29:21,757 --> 01:29:25,067
I'd rather swim in the sea
than in a swimming pool.

1056
01:29:25,137 --> 01:29:27,057
I know.

1057
01:29:27,125 --> 01:29:31,056
And I'd rather catch salmon in my own
stream, if somebody would teach me how.

1058
01:29:31,135 --> 01:29:33,055
I know.

1059
01:29:33,123 --> 01:29:36,930
And I'd rather see Ruairidh Mhor
not have the hell I've raised.

1060
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,112
I was lying to you too.

1061
01:29:39,187 --> 01:29:42,362
- I'm not really afraid of this place.
- I know.
