All language subtitles for Monarch Of The Glen s01e08.eng

Hector: I'm only
obeying orders.

Archie: Not right now, father, please.

In your very interesting lecture,
"Glenbogle, the Business,"

You said, and I quote, "good
communications is at the heart

- Of every thriving enterprise,"
so- - when I get back, okay?

There's a spot of damp
in the wine cellar.

I thought it imperative you
be informed without delay.

Thank you very much.

Archie.

I can't stop. I've gotta
get Justine from the airport.

When you get back,
I want to talk to you

About your responsibilities
as a landlord.

I've just been to see some of your
properties and they're in a terrible state.

Great, another conversation
to look forward to.

Justine, how are you?

Let's just get this
over with, shall we?

( theme music playing )

( door closes )

Hector:
Right. Careful.

Golly:
Damp, you said.

Yes. Dear, oh dear-
hello!

What have we here?

Ho ho, we're in luck.

Chateau Lafite '55.
Marvelous.

Archie: Would you come to Glenbogle?

- To live?
- Mm-hmm.

Are you asking
me to?

I just wanted
to know.

A hypothetical question.

No, Archie.
I wouldn't.

My life's in London.

My family,

My friends,

My work.

Our work.

Right.

And Glenbogle's
not for me.

Your father's right,

I'd never make a Laird's
wife in a million years.

In any case...

You have plenty of other
candidates, don't you?

Oh, I don't suppose
he'll remember.

Never does.

Sorry, as you were. He
did remember our 25th.

Even gave me
a gift,

The collected works
of Sir Walter Scott,

Bound in deerskin.

It sadly wasn't
properly cured

And the dogs tore it
to bits one day

In a wild,
animalistic frenzy.

I'm going to be leaving
Glenbogle, Lexie.

I've been
offered a job

As an exotic dancer
in Las Vegas.

Have you?

What did you say?

I wonder how
Archie's getting on?

Aye.

Poor Archie.

Justine: If you're
staying at Glenbogle...

I want to buy out your
share of the restaurant.

- What?
- I've had a valuation.

Leasehold, stock, name,
good will, the lot.

130,000.

And you have the investors
to put up the money?

My family.

And Lennie wants
to buy a share.

- Lennie?
- He's a terrific chef.

And a bit of a dish
himself, yes?

What do you say?

Well, I'd like a few days
to think it over,

- If that's all right.
- P.A.: 7947 to London Gatwick.

- Would all passengers be set in preparation
for boarding? - I'd better go.

Archie...

I'd like nothing better
than for you to turn me down.

Say, "no, I'm
leaving Glenbogle-

Coming back
to London. "

I want you, Archie.

And I want
our future back.

British airways announces

The departure of flight 7947
to London Gatwick.

I'll call you
after the weekend.

Come home.

Look at my husband.

A man who turned
idleness into an art form.

- I brought you some tea.
- Thank you, Duncan.

And I got you
some diggies as well.

Sweet boy.
You're too good to me.

Um... Lexie,
are you... Um...

You look hot, Dunc. Why
don't you go and take a dip

- In our new pool and cool off?
- Pool?

Och, aye.

I can't wait to see Archie's
face when he finds out about that.

( telephone ringing )

- Hello?
- Alan: Katrina, it's your man here.

- Oh. Alan. - I'm sorry it's not
Scotland's first minister

Offering you a seat
in his cabinet.

Listen, I was thinking
I might come up this weekend.

I'm sorry, but-

- Oh, come on, sweetheart.
- Alan...

Just because you helped me
with the election,

And then in a moment of
gratitude after a few drinks-

You snogged me, yes.

It doesn't mean we've suddenly
ignited a wild passion, okay?

- Don't make assumptions.
- Of course not, no.

- Did the flowers arrive, by the way?
- Yes.

And they're very nice,
thank you.

Look, Alan...
I've got to go, okay? Bye.

Okay, but listen-

Archie: Are you, uh, on your own?

Yes. Why?

I just thought maybe
your friend might be here.

Alan lives in Edinburgh,
not here.

I see.

Look, Katrina,

I have to decide
what I'm going to do.

Whether to stay,
whether to go.

And whatever I do,

I'm gonna hurt
someone a lot.

My parents
or Justine-

- What do you want, Archie?
- That's just it.

I can't begin
to consider that.

Every time I think
about what I want,

I see the look on their faces
when I tell them.

Listen, Archie,

And I'm talking
man-to-man here-

- ( knock on door )
- sorry. Hang on a sec.

- Alan.
- Surprise, surprise!

Ahh... I've been saving
this Lafite for years.

My father laid it down
in '55, you know.

And knocked it back
in '56, I'll bet.

( laughing )

Now, I'd like it here,
in full view of the house,

With the waters
of the loch behind.

- Message received and understood?
- Roger and out.

Mind you, Archie'll put the
kibosh on it if he gets wind.

- Careless talk costs lives.
- Absolutely.

Now, what about the ground?

Is it a bit uneven
do you think?

Hector?
What are you doing?

Doing? Nothing, darling. Nothing at all.

The pair of you look
like Mr. and Mrs. Mussolini

After a night
on the chianti.

( laughing ) you know, dear,
when a couple of old sweats

From the Cameron Highlanders
get together,

They're bound
to start reminiscing.

Is that right, Golly?

Sorry,
I can only reveal

My name, rank,
and serial number.

Anyway, Archie's
nearly here.

He's just been spotted
passing the llama farm.

What do you want us for?
Guard of honor?

- Shall I rustle up a brass band?
- He's been to see Justine.

About their future.

His future.

Our future.

And all because...

The lady loves.

- Alan, I've told you!
- I was going to abseil down the chimney

But I thought I might
get soot on my strides.

I don't want
nut clusters!

I want
peace and quiet!

And personal space.

I love
your anger.

Sends shivers
through my vitals!

Hello?

- Hi.
- Hello, darling.

- Back again, then?
- Laddie.

Old jalopy keep you
going okay there?

You must be
tired, wee man.

- Oh, thanks, Lexie.
- My pleasure.

So...

How's Justine
then?

And that, uh,
cafeteria of yours?

- Well-
- man: Yoo-hoo.

- Archie: The thing is I-
- man: Anybody home?

- I know that voice.
- Ta-da!

Fleming! Oh, my wee banker man!

- Not that daft gowk again.
- Hello, one and all.

- What are you doing here?
- Just had a meeting in Aberdeen.

- Thought I'd pop over.
- Look at you, Flem, the gear.

I know.
Cost me a fortune.

But I thought I'd be
properly dressed this time.

- Look, this watch has got a compass
underneath it. - That'll be handy

When you're trying to find the
bathroom in the middle of the night.

So...
Another inspection

By our favorite
financial advisor, is it?

Come to give us
the once over?

I very much hope so, Lexie.
( snorts )

Oh, hello, Duncan.

Mr. Fleming, you must
stay for the weekend.

( sighs )

Fleming: And the sporting
side and paying guests

Are starting
to produce decent income.

You're almost
not making a loss.

- Well done.
- Thanks.

But, um...

You didn't really have a
meeting in Aberdeen, did you?

No.

The thing is, I've tried
to protect you from the bank.

My boss just found out
that I'd let you

Increase that whacking
great debt of yours.

- He went bananas.
- Oh, dear.

I hope we haven't
got you into trouble?

Oh, no, no.

No, um...

But now he wants blood

And if he can't have
bucketfuls of yours-

He'll make do with mine.

I see.

Sorry, Archie...

But I'm afraid you need
to produce a wedge of dosh now,

For me to take back
to London.

I'm, um... I'm thinking of selling out

My share
in the restaurant.

Is that entirely wise?

Sink all your capital
into these old stones?

Who else
is gonna do it?

Fair point.

All the same,
radical step.

No going back.

I'd appreciate it if
you kept it to yourself.

I haven't made
my mind up just yet.

( sighs )

( humming )

Archie: It's either more
income or less expansion,

And I can't see
how to do either.

- Why don't you realize some assets?
- What assets?

I don't know... Like flogging
off some cottages in the village

- That you let for two and thruppence
ha'penny a week? - What, sell the village?

Still, Archie,
at least the fabric

Of this place is
in reasonable nick.

Hector: Ah! Memo to Chief Executive,
Glenbogle Enterprises inc.:

Don't forget to inspect
touch of damp

In wine and spirits department.
Thank you.

- ( water dripping )
- Archie: "touch of damp"?

Admirable aptitude for
understatement, your father.

- Oh, here. I'll take that.
- Thanks, wee man.

I know I give you
a hard time sometimes.

I'm sorry.

You're a sweetie.

Boss, boss? Can I have a word of advice?

From me?
You must be joking.

- I'm sorry, what is it?
- Well, the thing is...

If you cared
for someone

But you never
ever thought

- That she cared back...
- Uh-huh?

And then she started
being nice to you,

I mean, really, really
nice, no more sniping,

No cracks or jokes,
what would you think?

I'd think that
it was my lucky day.

That maybe...
She'd seen the real me,

- Maybe even fallen a little
bit in- - you really think?

- Man: Mr. MacDonald?!
- Coming.

In love with-

Lexie!

Duncan?

Lexie... Darling,

I fancy you rotten-
no.

I'm sweet on you,

And I really-

You know, and I think
that you may be...

Just a bit...

So why don't me and you-

( couple laughing )

No, my dear Lexie,
till you came along,

Life was pretty barren
on the femininity front.

You must have had
girlfriends though?

Careful with your plurals,
hope of my heart.

Well, what was she like? Was she pretty?

She looked a bit like-

Do you know a football manager
called Harry Redknapp?

My dad used to say about
my gran, "I'm not saying

She's ugly, but when
she puts her makeup on,

The lipstick starts
backing up into the tube. "

But listen, Flem,

I mean you're funny,
young...

- ish,

Good job, if a bit
on the dull side...

Quite nice looking.

What's the problem here?

You tell me.
It's just...

When I meet girls,
they seem to take

An instant dislike to me.
Why, I've no idea.

- Maybe it just saves time.
- Beg your pardon?

Flem, you're good
for me.

That, my dear, is my
main purpose in life.

So you enjoyed
your trip to London?

Amazing.
Far too short.

We'll put that right
next time.

I was very upset you
didn't come to see me.

- And how are we going to get rid of it?
- Pump it all out.

Lay some drains
from here to the loch.

Put in a pump that
kicks in automatically

When it rains.
Fairly simple.

Right.

So far.

There is
something else.

- Look at this.
- What is it?

Crack in
load bearing wall.

- Subsidence.
- Oh, no.

I'll need to inspect
the rest of the house.

And you'd better go and do
what people always do

In these
unfortunate situations.

I must be the biggest
booby in Glenbogle!

- What?
- I should have known.

She goes down to London
her usual scratchy self

And comes back
like Mary Poppins.

- Not now, Duncan.
- And who lives in London?

That little banker.

- He's had his way with her.
- Here we are.

I've just heard them
cooing on each other

Like a couple
of rock doves.

He's wrecked my life.
But I'll have my revenge.

- You'll see.
- Right.

You don't think she
loves him, do you?

Oh, horrible.

Horrible!

Okay, right.

Just tell me
things can't get any-

Here...

And here.

- You haven't noticed?
- There are 43 rooms here.

I haven't been in some
of them since I was a boy.

The evidence is there
for all to see.

This whole wing
of the house

Is sinking fast.

The place is unsafe.

My strong advice is
to get everyone out,

And now-

While we get
the builders in.

- How much?
- I'm only a surveyor, Mr. MacDonald, but...

I don't think you'll get much
change out of six figures.

Ach, but don't worry, in my
experience, the insurance companies

Are very good with
this sort of thing.

They might be if you still
had a policy with them.

Oh dear, oh dear.

Thank you for coming
so quickly, Mr. Aitcheson

- I appreciate it.
- Aye.

The commanding officer of
the food police sent me.

She and Molly are concerned
you might fade away

Without immediate
ingestion of luncheon.

Ooh! Ah!

That hurt.

Something wrong?

Just a small problem
of maintenance.

I don't think the bank
can help out this time,

Much as I'd like to.

Should I sell out, Fleming? You
know, my share of the restaurant?

You could, but-

Look, Archie,
I love this place,

But it's a black hole.

Fleets of �50 notes
are sent into it and...

Never seen again.

I'd better rejoin
the ladies.

Ow! Oh...

What on earth?

( radio music,
humming )

Justine.

- Hello?
- ( beeps )

Hello, goodbye.

Hey, lady of the lake, how do
you fancy a spin around the loch?

Can't, Captain Birdseye.
I've got the dinner to cook.

Thought I might have a go after
I've peeled the spuds for you.

Haven't played Swallows
and Amazons for years.

Oh, Hector,
this reminds me,

I've been thinking
about our anniversary,

- Perhaps having a small party?
- Nonsense, darling.

Who needs celebrations when
every day of our long...

( together ) and apparently
endless marriage...

Is like the first
day of Spring, eh?

Mother, father,
I need to talk to you.

I mean... Can't you just leave it?

It might just...
Go away.

It isn't safe to stay
here. We have to move out.

Temporary, you mean,
while the builders fix it?

Yes.

How very boring,
not to say inconvenient.

Hector!

I suppose Kilwillie could
put us up for a couple of weeks.

There is something else.

The bank are insisting
that we reduce the debt.

Fleming can't
hold them off any longer.

Oh, dear.

Insurance policy can't
sort that one out?

No.

What are you going
to do, Archie?

When I saw Justine,

She offered to buy me out
of the restaurant.

Oh, Archie.

You two haven't
split up, have you?

It could solve
our problems.

- Well, some of them.
- Hector: Capital.

You mustn't.
You mustn't do this.

- It's not your concern, Molly.
- Throwing good money after bad,

Ruining your relationship with Justine.

He is a MacDonald of Glenbogle,
of the 16th generation.

Nothing would please me
more than for you to stay

And settle here, but it
must be your own decision.

He is the Laird
of this ancient house.

He holds it in sacred trust for his
children and grandchildren to come!

Please, don't argue.
It just makes it worse.

Archie, listen,
we still haven't resolved

This business
about your tenants.

- Mrs. McLeod's kitchen's in an awful state.
- Can I say something?

- She's got a damp patch the size of
the North Sea. - A damp patch?

- You wanna see a damp patch? I'll
show you a damp patch. - Archie!

Archie,
this is terrible.

- What are you going to do?
- I don't know.

Throw myself into it.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

Ahh.

Help! Help,
I'm sinking.

He-e-elp!

Help!
Help, I'm sinking!

Help! Help!

He-e-elp!

Help, I'm going under!

Roast loin of pork
with a herb crust.

- Yum.
- So perhaps we should get our heads together

About what to take, Lexie. I must say

I'm rather looking
forward to my little break.

Though I
sometimes wish

I could make it
permanent.

It is seasoned,
Hector.

Archie, perhaps you'd tell
your father that it is an insult

To the cook to fling condiments on
a carefully prepared dish like that.

Perhaps you'd tell your
mother to mind her own business

And keep her elegant nose
out of my dinner.

( sneezes )

I had a brain wave.

- You know that notion of selling
the village, Archie? - Oh, yeah?

I thought of someone who
might give you a good price.

What do you mean
"sell the village"?

Another client of the bank-
rather good client, actually-

Who?

Your friend and neighbor,
Kilwillie.

Kilwillie?!

He said that that land
once belonged

To his family, Mr. MacDonald,
till yours stole it

With considerable grievous
bodily harm, in 1588.

He wants it back

And is happy to pay
big time for it.

Over my dead body!

That can easily be arranged.

Now look here-
( sneezes )

Mr. Fleming,

That sounds
an excellent idea.

- Where are you going?
- The stench of betrayal

Has ruined my appetite.

Ah-ha-choo!

Quite a tempting proposition,
though, isn't it?

"my client's a man
who insists

On hearing bad news

Immediately. "
( chuckles )

- Lexie: Dunc! Are you there?
- Just a minute.

Dinner's on the table.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Just...

A bit of... butchery.

I'll be there
in a minute.

Oh, have you seen
the ketchup?

Nah.

( screaming )

( scream echoing )

Lexie: Hector?

Hector?

There's no sign?

He can't have got far.
Must be sulking somewhere.

( whimpers )

Darling, what's up?

Aah!

Hi, sweetheart.

I came to see you,
but you were on the phone.

You only had muesli,
so I went down the shops

For some sugar puffs.
And bacon and eggs.

Fancy a fry-up?
I'm starved.

Would you stop blathering?

I'm not interested
in a running commentary

- Of your fascinating morning.
- Okay.

And would you look
at this place!

You have no right
to come in here and-

- I live here, you know?
- Oh, really?

You've hardly been in
since I got here.

I'm trying hard
not to see

A cause and effect
relationship between the two.

- I never asked you to come, Alan.
- I'm aware of that.

I came because
I needed to see you.

I hoped you might
begin to reciprocate.

I'm sorry.

I also came to look
at property.

I thought... I might
buy a place here...

Base myself here.

So we could be together.

What do you think of that?
As if I didn't know.

Alan, I...

Your silence
is eloquent.

I'm away down at pub.

( door opens )

Archie: Duncan!

Duncan!

Golly?

What are you doing?

Uh... Nothing.

Just- just
measuring the grass.

You have surpassed
yourself this time!

There I was, being all
sympathetic about your problems,

- And then I hear your solution.
- What are you talking about?

Selling the land from
underneath our feet!

Homes that people have
lived in for generations.

Nothing's been decided.

Don't deny it.
It's all over the village.

I don't doubt it.
Who needs the internet

When we have the good
women of Glenbogle?

- Thank you very much, Lexie.
- And flogging it to some millionaire

Like it was
a rich man's plaything.

Well, it's not.

It's a living,
breathing community,

And I demand you discuss
this mess with me right now.

With you?

As a democratically elected
member of the Highland Council.

Ah, of course.
Well, maybe-

Maybe you could
look at it this way:

I am one of your
constituents. I have problems.

Am I, therefore, not
worthy of your help,

- Your sympathy, your understanding?
- ( Hector clears throat )

- What is it?
- Hector!

Father?
What are you doing?

Rooftop protest. What
those jailbirds get up to.

What, on the balcony
outside my bedroom?

I'm not coming down
till you come to your senses.

This is childish, even by
your own spectacular standards.

You don't know the half
of this estate's problems.

I'm taking no food,
but ask Lexie to send up

Another flask and some
more old Country Lifes.

Duncan!

The thing is, Lexie,

When it comes right down to it,
all men are bampots.

You'll be
telling me next

Dolly Parton has
to sleep on her back.

And definitely not
worth fighting over.

No, but it's kinda nice when
they're fighting over you.

And what is Archie,
anyway?

The sorry product
of centuries of inbreeding.

You know the term
"gene pool"?

Isn't that where Duncan
washes his trousers?

Well, this family's
been swimming

In a tiny one
for too long,

And the heir apparent's
sinking, in more ways than one.

Aye, they need some vigorous
working class spermies

To get them going
right enough.

Speaking of which, do you
know how Golly got his name?

A woman down the village
told me.

Apparently,
one summer years ago,

When Hector could
afford more staff,

Golly took a bonnie
young lass to a dance,

Gay gordoned
the stockings off her

- And took her down by the river.
- For a canoodle?

One thing led to another,
as they do,

She unbuttoned her frock,

He undid his-

And she was so amazed,

So flabbergasted
by what confronted her,

- She cried...
- Both: Golly!

What's up?

( both giggling )

Apart from the fact that
Mr. Fleming represents the bank

To which the estate is indebted,
he is in this house as a guest.

Cuckoo in the nest,
you mean.

I also consider him
a friend!

Are you gonna
sack me then?

No, of course not. But you
have to apologize to him.

- Oh, no!
- Yes.

I'd rather cut
my own tongue out!

You're making
this very difficult.

See-

I'm fond of Lexie,

Maybe you noticed.

Anyway, this fella slimed
his way in and had a-

- A dalliance with her.
- Dalliance?

She went down to London
to be with him and he-

He...

I can hardly bring myself
to say it. He...

Despoiled her.

Of course he didn't.
She never even saw him.

- How do you know?
- Because she was with me all the time.

I never let her
out of my sight.

We even shared a sleeper
compartment on the way home.

- What?!
- What?!

So it was you that was doing
the despoiling, was it?

No, of course not.
We never-

It was nothing really.

- Wha- what was nothing?
- Well, I... We...

- Well, we just-
- you dirty-

How could you, Archie?
After all I've done for you.

Right, that's it.
I'm done with this place.

And you.

I offer the hand
of friendship...

And all I get back
is the tickle of cold steel

Between the shoulder blades.

Mr. Fleming...

May I tender
my sincere apologies?

- Accepted, Duncan.
- Right.

Let's you and me
leave this toe-rag

And go
and get pished.

( sighs )

Hello, Archie.

Hello, mother.

What's wrong?

Why is it I can never
do anything right?

Oh, my special child.

Let me tell you
something-

For me, you could never
do anything wrong.

There's no insurance policy,
is there?

The last premium
wasn't paid.

I have to find 100,000 and
that's just for starters.

You tried to keep it
from us to protect us.

- ( arguing )
- what is it now?

- Lexie: Will somebody just explain?
- I said no.

Duncan, for heaven's
sake. Fleming, please.

I find I'm unable to speak
to you just now, Alexandra.

- Lexie: What?
- Flem: I-

That is to say,
we-

My friend Duncan and I,
are disappointed,

Nay, hurt,
by your actions.

What's going on
down there?

- Lexie.
- Archie, how could you?

- Let me explain, I-
- your father's right.

You're a cad
and a bounder.

- Where are you going?
- I'm not gonna speak to you ever again.

At least not until
you make it right.

- Come on up, child. What's
going on? - Just the usual-

- Everyone having fun at your son's expense.
- Archie?

- Not now, please. - Katrina: I'm not here
to give you unwanted advice.

It's up to you what
you do with your life.

- It's got nothing to do with me after all.
- Eh?

Except, in so far as it
affects my constituents.

- Katrina, why don't you just shut up?
- What?

As usual, you are speaking to me with
all the sympathy and human understanding-

You don't understand. I'm
just trying to tell you-

I am just like you, really!
I have feelings, too.

- If you prick me, do I not bleed?
- Archie!

I've had enough, okay?
Why don't you just get lost?!

Archie, you-

( applause )

Hear, hear.
Easy does it.

Lexie:
Come away in.

The Glenbogle Two become
the Glenbogle Three.

- Hector: There we are.
- Yep.

Good girl. Now, Katrina,
I've just read

A very interesting article
in Country Life

About Scottish
land reform.

It's very hypnotic.

And soothing.

Oh, Archie.
I'm not...

I'm not much of a one
for giving advice,

Aside of how
to hold a gun or...

Caress the water
with a fly.

I know nothing
about business,

Nor even about
what people call love.

But...

Only thing I can
say to you is...

Something I've failed
to do all my life.

Follow your heart, son.

Follow your heart.

It's always the same,
Duncan.

Disappointment.
Disillusion.

Betrayal.

She made toothpicks from
the timbers of my heart.

The unchanging pattern
of my life.

That's a country
and western song.

It's in Golly's
collection.

I know I'm not good-looking,
I know that.

"get your tongue
out of my mouth

'cause I'm kissing you
goodbye. " that's another.

When I was born,

I was so ugly the doctor
slapped my mother.

I liked Archie,
you know?

Trusted him, had a
real soft spot for him.

I've still got one-

In a trench
in the vegetable garden.

All right, lads?

Can I buy you
a drink?

Lexie: Nursery food's coming up.

I'll talk to as many
tenants as I can.

Excellent.
What about sandwiches?

Banana and chutney?
Chocks away.

Oh, good!
I do love a 'nana sarnie.

Yes.

I need to
get my things.

I'll give you a lift
to the station.

No, you-
you won't.

You're as squiffy
as 60 billy goats.

Woman:
Thank you, dear.

Spare me the glassy,
meaningless smile of the drunk.

- Marry me.
- What?

It's crazy,
but it might work.

Why would I
marry you, Alan?

Because I'm mad
about you.

Because I love you.

Because I want
to have your babies.

Well, I'm not sure
about that last bit.

I'm sorry, but the answer is no.

- Anyway, you're drunk.
- I'm not drunk!

And I meant
what I said.

Inside this tough,
manly exterior,

My heart is bursting

With an intense
longing for you.

Alan...

That's very sweet,

And I'm very fond of you,

But I don't love you.

How can I marry you
if I don't love you?

Got the hots for someone else,
is that it?

Your tame aristo?

Oh, aye,
he's such a nice guy.

But I hear
he's reverted to type...

Having his way
with the staff

- Like so many of his forebears.
- Alan.

I don't know what
the radical feminist line is

On that kind of hanky-panky,

But it reeks of the worst kind
of sexual exploitation to me.

Thank you,
but I already knew.

Katrina, you know...

You're one of those women

Who just can't work out
what they want,

But they're
nevertheless prepared

To fight to the death
to get it.

Goodbye, Alan.

( hissing )

Positive reaction.

Excellent. Now we can
deal with the money side.

Ahh! Banker chappie.

Duncan, convey the abacus
operative up here, would you?

Justine.

It's me.

Just give it
to me ballpark.

- There he is!
- I'll call you back.

- Turncoat!
- Perfidy in human form.

- Unclean.
- Archie out!

( chanting )
Archie out! Archie out!

Archie out! Archie out!

Archie yelling:
Come on, just be quiet!

Would you all
come down, please?

I have a few things
to say to you.

Hector,
what's going on?

- These men- - I thought
you weren't speaking to me?

Don't worry,
Golly will deal with them,

My heart's desire.

Well...

We await
his master's voice.

Right.

Since I came back
to Glenbogle

A couple
of centuries ago,

I seem, at various times,
to have angered,

Irritated, disappointed,
and hurt some,

Most, maybe even
all of you.

I'd especially like
to apologize to you, Lexie.

I'm mortified at the thought
that I might have hurt you,

Because over the past
few weeks and months,

I've come to see just what
a special girl you are.

Thanks, Arch.

And before anyone else does
a simple sum with that sentence

And comes up with a figure
approaching the size of our overdraft,

Let me say that nothing has happened
between us that I'm ashamed of

Or that warrants
any explanation to anyone.

Katrina, I'd like to thank you
for your unwavering help,

Especially your
fascinating lectures

On the major political issues
of the day.

I'm sorry if I haven't always
seemed grateful but-

You know what they say, "asking a
voter what he thinks about politicians

Is a bit like asking lampposts
what they think about dogs. "

( chuckles )
nice one, Archie.

I hope I'll always have your
support, maybe even your respect,

Despite my status
as resident feudal relic

And pet punch bag.

Maybe the fact that I'm not selling
out to Kilwillie will be a start.

What are you
going to do?

Mother, father,

I've just spoken
to Justine,

And I've accepted her offer
for my share of the restaurant,

- I'll use the money to pay
for the underpinning- - but-

And start repaying
the debt to the bank.

That way we can all get on with
the job of making Glenbogle viable,

Giving it,
and us, a future.

That's my boy.

Archie, darling,
are you sure?

Not really, no.

But, um...

It just seemed right.

But whatever happens,
I'm gonna make a go of it,

And I hope
you'll all help me.

And I hope you'll all
be my friends.

Well said.
Damn well said.

You don't have
to blow your money,

And you don't have to sell out
to Kilwillie either.

You could make a lot of people
very happy instead.

- How do you mean?
- We've hatched a plan.

All of us.

You can sell the properties
in the village

- To the tenants.
- Tenants?

- Could they afford it?
- They can get help from the government

Under the new
land legislation.

And we've lined up
mortgages already.

- Fleming?
- It'll help the bank get its money back.

It's the perfect solution
for everybody,

And it's good
for the community.

And good for the estate.

And for you, Archie.

And it keeps
your options open...

With Justine.

- Everybody's happy.
- Apart from Kilwillie.

By the way, this was
all your father's idea.

You?

It's what I keep
telling you, Archie.

One simply must move
with the times.

Hector:
This way, everybody.

Ladies and gentlemen, I ask
you to charge your glasses.

I'd like to
propose a toast.

To the loveliest girl
in the Highlands...

My dear wife
of 40 years...

To Molly.

All:
To Molly.

Thank you,
Duncan.

Gentlemen!
Do your worst!

( oohing and ahhing )

- Molly: Ahh!
- Hector: Happy, darling?

- Isn't it lovely?
- Ah, yes. Wonderful.

- Oh.
- Thank you, Golly.

Happy anniversary,
you sentimental old fool.

I wanted
to buy you a ruby

But the fireworks
were cheaper.

Splendid.

Well-
Archie MacDonald,

Thank you very much
for your kind words.

Oh, I meant them.

You haven't
really fallen

For this miserable specimen
before you, have you?

What, me? You?

Don't be daft.

Who do you think I am?

But-

I will tell you this,
Archie MacDonald,

One of these fine days
me and you

Are gonna finish
what we started.

All right.
Come on, boys,

Let's party.

And no fighting.

Here you are.

You have to come down
to the village tomorrow.

I think your
soon-to-be ex-tenants

Would like to thank you in
person. Mrs. Mcleod actually said

She was sorry to be
getting her own place.

"Lairds have been looking after
my families for centuries. "

- She was nearly crying.
- How sweet.

Demeaning, more like.
In the new Scotland-

Katrina, put another
record on, will you?

I've heard this one so many
times I could sing it myself.

- Listen here, matey-
- no, you listen.

I wanna thank you
for what you did,

For me and Justine.

It was very generous of you.

I suppose, in a way, the other
way would have been easier.

The decision was made for me. Burn
my boats in London and settle here.

But now I have to
decide for myself.

What to do about
me and Justine...

What to do
about me and you.

Oh?

Is there such a thing
as me and you?

( car approaching )

- ( car door closes )
- Archie: Justine.

I had to come.

I felt so desolate.

I can't lose you,
Archie.

Maybe I can change.

Maybe I can come
and live here...

With you.

Make our lives here.

What do you think?
