-Is she wearing earrings?

-No.

0:00:210:00:24

-She's just out of nappies, for crying out loud.

-No, I'm not!

0:00:240:00:27

They're only wee ones, and they're all wearing them nowadays!

0:00:270:00:30

-You used me!

-And you weren't using me?!

0:00:300:00:34

Let's not lose perspective, Eileen, it's business.

0:00:340:00:37

We're skint, we're staying in somebody else's house,

0:00:370:00:39

and you spend fifty quid on a pair of kids' shoes!

0:00:390:00:42

Madonna's in the running for the Little Miss Christmas pageant. She needs those shoes!

0:00:420:00:46

-If we're going to work together again I need more.

-Of what?

0:00:460:00:49

-Money.

-I'm sure that can be arranged.

0:00:490:00:53

And a place to live.

0:00:530:00:55

-Christina! Open the door.

-KNOCKING

0:01:290:01:33

I know it's hard but you have to go to school.

0:01:330:01:37

Christina! Pull yourself together, hen,

0:01:370:01:39

you know you've got to come out!

0:01:390:01:41

Ta-dah!

0:01:560:01:58

I was hoping to have it finished before you saw it.

0:02:000:02:03

I know it's early.

0:02:030:02:05

-I went a wee bit overboard didn't I?

-And I'm supposed to be the soft one?

0:02:090:02:13

Ach, the punters'll go nuts for it man.

0:02:130:02:16

Think of the money over the bar.

0:02:160:02:17

You're going to have to do something about that. It's squint.

0:02:170:02:21

Was thinking about the day itself.

0:02:210:02:23

You used to have the dinner down here, didn't you?

0:02:230:02:29

Want me to sort it this year?

0:02:290:02:30

-Thanks, son... but you're better off at yours.

-What about you?

0:02:300:02:33

Leave it.

0:02:330:02:35

Truth is, sooner it's over the better.

0:02:380:02:42

It's not gonna be much of a Christmas without Stuart.

0:02:420:02:45

-You'll still see him.

-Yeah, long enough for him to rip the paper off a pressie?

0:02:450:02:49

Not exactly be quality time is it, especially with the O'Haras hanging about?

0:02:490:02:54

How's it going with them anyway?

0:02:540:02:56

-HE SIGHS

-Wee Christina's still upset. And they've got so much stuff!

0:02:560:03:02

D'you think you're goin' to be able to get it sorted in time, for the bar reporter?

0:03:020:03:06

That's my mission for today. Upshot is though, pal, I'm going to have to just leave you to it, OK?

0:03:060:03:12

-I'm just gonnae say it. And you can shout at me all you want.

-No.

0:03:120:03:16

Deek's flat's crowded. You need to impress this woman.

0:03:160:03:19

-Up there's sitting empty.

-For a reason.

-You don't think I know that?!

0:03:190:03:24

Raymond, you need to start looking to what you want now! No the past!

0:03:240:03:28

Forget it then.

0:03:300:03:32

Bad idea.

0:03:320:03:34

Smell's away. I've aired it.

0:04:430:04:46

Raymond, it's just a room.

0:04:510:04:53

Yeah, it's just a room.

0:04:540:04:57

I let it become something it's not.

0:05:000:05:03

But what really matters is now.

0:05:030:05:08

And if moving back means I get Stuart then...

0:05:090:05:12

-Meaning you are?

-Take a lot of doing to make it a home.

0:05:120:05:17

-What time's she coming?

-Three.

0:05:170:05:21

It'll be tight. Right, you let her know the a change of address.

0:05:210:05:26

I'll phone Jimmy, get him to help.

0:05:260:05:28

I'll tell him there's a bacon roll waiting or something.

0:05:280:05:31

-And it's on me!

-Aye!

0:05:310:05:33

-You're recovered now, aye?

-Course.

0:05:420:05:44

I wouldn't let him out of bed until he was right as rain.

0:05:440:05:47

I'm just glad to be up. Was starting to go stir-crazy.

0:05:470:05:49

What he means is he missed the gossip.

0:05:490:05:52

-Pot, kettle.

-All right, I did. Speaking of which,

0:05:520:05:55

-what's this I hear about a certain person moving to the Merchant City?

-Robbie!

0:05:550:05:58

I'm just saying, didn't take Eileen long to shack up with Mr Money-Bags.

0:05:580:06:02

You don't get one of they flats without a down-payment.

0:06:020:06:05

Hey, What can I get you, Raymond?

0:06:060:06:08

Oh, hiya, sorry, it's not as if you and her are still an item.

0:06:100:06:15

No matter what we think of Eileen, she's a free agent

0:06:150:06:18

-so why not grab what's on offer?

-Couldn't care less?

0:06:180:06:22

It's just that some of us have got better things to do than gossip.

0:06:220:06:26

Three bacon rolls to go, please.

0:06:270:06:29

(What? He's not bothered, see?)

0:06:330:06:36

Morning.

0:06:430:06:44

Would it kill you to be civil?!

0:06:440:06:46

-Ignore it.

-That's easy for you to say.

0:06:480:06:51

Think about something else then. Two weeks time.

0:06:510:06:54

-On a beach. Sunshine.

-HE LAUGHS

0:06:540:06:56

-Aye, aye.

-Do you have to shout about it?

0:06:560:07:00

Here, let me.

0:07:020:07:04

Ho-oh! Hey, you're getting to be heavy. Who's a big boy, eh?

0:07:040:07:09

Mark... Mark, it's fine, I can manage. It's fine, I can manage.

0:07:090:07:14

They seem like a nice couple.

0:07:170:07:19

They're business partners.

0:07:190:07:21

Ah, right. Probably just tittle-tattle then.

0:07:210:07:23

What's that supposed to mean?

0:07:230:07:25

Ah, forget it. Y'know what people round here are like.

0:07:250:07:28

If you've got something to say, say it.

0:07:280:07:31

All I'm saying is if it was me,

0:07:320:07:34

some guy messing about with my family, I'd want to know who he was.

0:07:340:07:38

Sponsored silence? You know what?

0:07:480:07:51

Put me down for a tenner.

0:07:510:07:52

It'll worth it not to have Liz yelling at me

0:07:520:07:54

-for using up all the hot water.

-Aye. Silence is golden.

0:07:540:07:57

I reckon we'll not get a cheep out of her till six o'clock.

0:07:590:08:02

-So what is it, for charity?

-Something like that.

0:08:040:08:07

Think she'll last?

0:08:090:08:11

She's stubborn enough. I suppose it depends how easy we make it for her.

0:08:110:08:18

Hmmmm. I'm game if you are.

0:08:200:08:23

All right, Liz, I was going to pick a tree up for the boys.

0:08:270:08:31

Want me to put one by?

0:08:310:08:33

Och, no, we'll no be bothering with a real one this year.

0:08:330:08:37

Oh, no, all those needles, no, no, no.

0:08:370:08:40

Thought we'd go for one of those fake ones, is that all right, pet?

0:08:400:08:44

Good idea.

0:08:440:08:46

I was thinking a big bright pink one, that'd be just the ticket.

0:08:460:08:49

That OK, Liz?

0:08:490:08:50

She hates those things! Any other time, I'd have got a lecture!

0:08:550:09:00

THEY LAUGH

0:09:000:09:01

She's good, I'll give her that.

0:09:010:09:05

That bed's for Raymond's wean, why's he not putting it up himself?

0:09:050:09:09

It's work. Want me to knock it back?

0:09:090:09:13

-Putting a wash on?

-Might as well. That's me stuck in.

0:09:130:09:17

-Madonna's got a sore throat.

-She was fine first thing.

0:09:170:09:21

-Aye, well...

-Right, I'll see you later, darlin'.

-See ya.

0:09:210:09:27

Bye Daddy!!

0:09:280:09:31

That's some holler from somebody who's no' been feeling very well.

0:09:310:09:35

Ach the wee darlin', sounds like she's swallowed sandpaper.

0:09:350:09:39

Right, I better be going. Have a good day.

0:09:390:09:41

Aye, we will.

0:09:410:09:44

In you come, Malcolm.

0:09:490:09:52

What can I do for you?

0:09:540:09:55

Liz left me a note for me, asked me to hand these photos in.

0:09:550:09:59

She reckons Raymond must've lost most of the rest in the fire.

0:09:590:10:03

Aww. Thanks. He'll be made up.

0:10:030:10:07

-Aye. Well, I'll leave you to it.

-Aye.

-Don't forget the bucket.

0:10:070:10:12

-Eh? No, Malcolm. That's the charity one.

-Oh!

0:10:120:10:17

Whoever it's for their need's greater than mine.

0:10:170:10:21

It's your charity. The one Liz set up for you.

0:10:210:10:24

Oh, aye, that's right, of course.

0:10:240:10:27

It's a belter of a photo. Everybody says so.

0:10:270:10:30

-They're all chipping in.

-Are they? That's good.

0:10:300:10:34

-What do you want?

-To see Stuart.

0:10:490:10:52

We've been through this...

0:10:520:10:54

Eileen, I'm just over the road. He's here. This is daft.

0:10:540:10:57

You had your chance. Actually he's not here.

0:10:570:11:01

Where is he? It's a bit early for nursery.

0:11:010:11:03

He's at the child-minder. She'll take him.

0:11:030:11:06

So you'd rather leave our son with a stranger...?

0:11:060:11:09

Why not? I checked her references. No mention of violent crime.

0:11:090:11:14

I'd say she was the better option.

0:11:140:11:16

-Look, I didn't come here to argue.

-Why then?

0:11:190:11:22

Eileen, how much do you know actually about this guy?

0:11:240:11:27

-I mean really know.

-I'm not listening to this!

0:11:270:11:30

-I know he's a flash operator. I heard all about your flat in Merchant City.

-So that's it!

0:11:300:11:34

-Where's his money come from? Have you asked that?

-He works. Like everybody else.

0:11:340:11:38

-And what if it's not the same?

-What is this?

0:11:380:11:42

I'm just saying maybe you should ask a few questions. Instead of just taking him at face value.

0:11:420:11:47

DOOR OPENS

0:11:480:11:50

Raymond, how are you?

0:11:500:11:52

We're talking here.

0:11:520:11:54

Don't let me stop you. We don't have secrets, do we darling?

0:11:540:11:58

-But we do need to discuss Christmas.

-What about it?

0:12:010:12:04

Well, I'm moving back into The Ship. I'd like Stuart to be there part of the day.

0:12:040:12:08

Ah, what a shame.

0:12:080:12:12

Hope you've not gone to any bother?

0:12:120:12:14

-What's he on about?

-You not told him?

0:12:150:12:18

-Mark's taking us to Portugal.

-What?!

0:12:180:12:21

-He's got a villa there.

-Pool. Jacuzzi. Stuart's going to love it.

0:12:210:12:25

No, he's not! It's his birthday!

0:12:250:12:30

Did it never cross your mind I might want to

0:12:300:12:33

see my son on his birthday?! He's going nowhere!

0:12:330:12:36

You can't stop me. I asked my solicitor.

0:12:360:12:39

-I'll see about that.

-Raymond, be reasonable.

0:12:390:12:41

Stuart will be fine. If he needs anything...

0:12:410:12:44

well he's got me.

0:12:440:12:46

-I'm just saying, was it necessary?

-The man's got anger issues.

0:13:250:13:29

Yeah. Anyway I've got to get on.

0:13:290:13:33

Sure. I'll get out of the way.

0:13:330:13:37

-Only I thought we could do lunch later.

-Yeah.

0:13:370:13:41

What's this?

0:13:410:13:44

It's what we'll be discussing. They've some good jobs in there.

0:13:440:13:48

Nice little number in Newcastle.

0:13:480:13:51

Housing Officer. Twice what you get here.

0:13:510:13:53

-I can't leave here.

-Why not? I'll be there too.

0:13:550:14:00

Hey, we make a good team.

0:14:000:14:03

I know, but I've got family, and I can't leave my dad.

0:14:030:14:06

He's got Gina. And you can always jump on a plane.

0:14:060:14:10

I like what I do here.

0:14:110:14:13

What worrying about the Mullens' dodgy plumbing

0:14:130:14:16

for the rest of your life?

0:14:160:14:18

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:14:250:14:27

Hello.

0:14:280:14:29

Look at this.

0:14:360:14:38

Who in their right mind puts this stuff in cards, eh?

0:14:380:14:41

Can I have a word?

0:14:410:14:43

You said that with guys like Mark Vincent,

0:14:590:15:05

you'd make it your business to find out about them.

0:15:050:15:10

How?

0:15:100:15:12

Investigators.

0:15:120:15:14

People who get off sifting through other people's garbage.

0:15:140:15:18

Would you give me a name?

0:15:230:15:25

I thought we'd gone over what everything cost? What's this for?

0:15:370:15:41

To hire a private investigator to look into Vincent.

0:15:410:15:44

-Have you lost it?

-What am I supposed to do, sit on my hands?

0:15:440:15:47

-I'm getting shafted here.

-Is it sympathy you want?

0:15:470:15:51

The man is with my son. Playing daddy.

0:15:510:15:53

He's got Eileen wrapped around his little finger.

0:15:530:15:55

And I know he's not all he makes out.

0:15:550:15:57

How? Are you sure this is about Stuart?

0:15:570:16:01

Not cause you're jealous this guy may or may not,

0:16:010:16:04

-be sleeping with your ex?

-Eileen can do what she likes.

0:16:040:16:08

Raymond, this is a mistake.

0:16:080:16:10

I thought we agreed you'd go through the courts.

0:16:100:16:14

That was before I knew he was taking my boy away at Christmas.

0:16:140:16:17

I can't just do nothing.

0:16:170:16:19

SHE SIGHS AND GIGGLES

0:16:280:16:30

-She's on her way!

-Are you sure about this? Here we go.

0:16:350:16:40

Oh, come on, Malcolm, that's nay fair.

0:16:410:16:44

We can't be expected to go out just to suit you!

0:16:440:16:46

Oh, you're there, dear.

0:16:490:16:51

Gabriel was just asking if we could make ourselves scarce this evening.

0:16:510:16:54

-I've got a friend coming over.

-Don't worry, I've said 'no'.

0:16:540:16:58

It's just we're not going to be spending the holidays together

0:16:580:17:02

so I fancied a bit of time together. Never mind.

0:17:020:17:05

Oh, she'll be away? Well, you never said that?

0:17:050:17:09

In which case it'd be selfish for us to refuse.

0:17:090:17:12

Given the season, eh? What do you say, pet?

0:17:120:17:15

No objections? That's the spirit.

0:17:170:17:20

At least you know you've talked us round.

0:17:200:17:22

Thanks, Liz. I'll not forget it.

0:17:220:17:25

And you, I owe you a pint.

0:17:250:17:27

-Aye!

-You're on, son, you're on!

0:17:270:17:30

Madonna's been in that toilet for ages.

0:17:330:17:36

-Come on, Rudolph!

-No chance.

0:17:360:17:38

-Shall I see if she's OK?

-Ach, she's fine.

0:17:400:17:43

Just something she's started doing to get out of practising.

0:17:430:17:46

-The pageant?

-Aye.

-So that's what the outfits are all about too?

-Aye.

0:17:460:17:50

I thought it might give us a more professional look.

0:17:500:17:54

-What's that look for?

-Nothing.

-Don't give me that. Spit it out!

0:17:540:17:59

All right. I just think you're taking this a bit too far.

0:17:590:18:04

I mean does Madonna even want do it?

0:18:040:18:06

She's locking herself in the toilet, is that not saying anything to you?

0:18:060:18:09

Oh, is this what I'm getting now? Skills on how to be a parent.

0:18:090:18:13

No, but I know how you can get.

0:18:130:18:15

Plus, I've seen TV shows about these things. They're dead serious.

0:18:150:18:18

You trying to say she's no gonnae be good enough?

0:18:180:18:21

She's my baby sister, of course she is.

0:18:210:18:23

I'm just saying, maybe try something smaller. Like a Talent shows or a school play.

0:18:230:18:27

Aye, you should know. You couldn't even get a part in the school Nativity.

0:18:270:18:31

Not even when they were crying out for sheep!

0:18:310:18:33

Do you know how mad you sound?

0:18:330:18:35

Better that than jealous. Besides I'm thinking about doing it an' all.

0:18:350:18:42

-What?

-There's a glamorous mammy section.

0:18:430:18:48

I think it'll be right up my street.

0:18:480:18:50

Suppose I'll get on with it then, upstairs.

0:19:000:19:03

Aye, cheers, Stevie.

0:19:030:19:05

Must've heard you wrong when you said how important it was to you.

0:19:050:19:08

Hope there's something nice for me under that tree.

0:19:130:19:15

I've been very good this year.

0:19:150:19:17

Let's take this through here?

0:19:200:19:22

I know all this.

0:20:000:20:01

-What's this?

-That's a registration document.

0:20:050:20:09

Mr Vincent has a penchant for buying up companies, getting them credit,

0:20:090:20:13

asset stripping, then declaring said company null and void.

0:20:130:20:17

All just this side of legal.

0:20:170:20:19

And then there's this.

0:20:200:20:23

-His bank statements?!

-Nothing's private any more.

0:20:270:20:30

He's paying Eileen money. Thousands...

0:20:360:20:39

He must think she's got something worth paying for.

0:20:390:20:41

Apart from her sparkling personality, that is...

0:20:410:20:44

Right, I'll be off.

0:20:470:20:50

What did he want?

0:21:010:21:03

Nothing.

0:21:040:21:06

What, so you can talk to him, no to me?

0:21:060:21:09

You best stay out of it, son.

0:21:090:21:11

Come on Murray, pick up, son! Urgh!

0:21:210:21:25

Come on, come on!

0:21:360:21:38

MOBILE PHONE RINGS INSIDE

0:21:380:21:41

Murray! It's me! I know you're in there!

0:21:420:21:45

-Raymond!

-What's going on? I've been trying to call you.

0:21:470:21:51

Now is not such a good time...

0:21:510:21:53

Two consenting adults. It's still legal.

0:21:590:22:02

Sorry.

0:22:020:22:04

I'm not saying 'no'. It's a big decision.

0:22:100:22:13

What's the rush?

0:22:130:22:15

What's the hesitation? I'm offering you both a new life.

0:22:150:22:19

Aw, but what sort?! Chucking people out their homes?

0:22:190:22:24

Making a fast buck?

0:22:240:22:26

Eileen, you went into this with eyes open.

0:22:310:22:34

You burnt your bridges for something better in life. No going back now.

0:22:340:22:38

Hey! Look who's popped round to have a chat.

0:22:490:22:53

-Oh, no, of course, you can't.

-I just wanted to give you that, Dad.

0:22:530:23:00

Oh, that's very kind. Isn't it, pet?

0:23:000:23:03

Take no notice, Liz disnae mind me speaking for her.

0:23:030:23:06

-Aye, sit down.

-I'm not stopping.

0:23:140:23:17

And I can't see why you dropped this off today.

0:23:170:23:20

We usually give Christmas card, Christmas morning.

0:23:200:23:23

-Would I be welcome?

-You're always welcome here.

0:23:240:23:28

If nowhere else?

0:23:280:23:31

-I meant to do right, Dad.

-I believe you.

0:23:330:23:37

Nobody else does.

0:23:380:23:39

I'm starting to think it may be better if I moved away from here.

0:23:410:23:46

No, no, no! Home's here! I know things have been hard,

0:23:460:23:50

but Christmas has got a great way of softening hearts.

0:23:500:23:55

-I had hoped it would with you and Raymond too.

-Raymond?

0:23:550:23:59

I know, I know... I'm not meddling.

0:23:590:24:03

I just hoped you'd put your differences aside

0:24:030:24:06

for one day at least. If only for the bairn.

0:24:060:24:09

Actually dad...

0:24:100:24:12

And it'd be grand to have you all sat around this table again.

0:24:120:24:15

Especially wee Stuart. That's what Christmas is all about - family.

0:24:150:24:21

Raymond.

0:24:320:24:34

Can we talk?

0:24:410:24:43

What do you want?

0:24:430:24:44

A truce. I want us to stop tearing lumps out each other.

0:24:440:24:48

-Why?

-Because we don't have to. We can sort this.

0:24:510:24:54

No. There's got to be a reason.

0:24:540:24:58

You never back off unless you've got no other option.

0:24:580:25:02

I'm not backing off.

0:25:020:25:04

-Is it maybe because you've found out what he's like?

-What?

0:25:040:25:07

See cos now I know why you were so keen to deny it.

0:25:070:25:13

The man's bought you. You're as bad as him.

0:25:130:25:15

How...? How?

0:25:240:25:26

You had somebody do this?!

0:25:280:25:30

Follow me and take pictures?!

0:25:320:25:34

Don't turn this round on me! You're taking money from a crook.

0:25:340:25:38

-How could you?

-Don't judge me! A woman who sells herself.

0:25:390:25:44

-Sells her friends!

-Why are you doing this...? What do you want?

0:25:440:25:48

-Get rid him of him. Now!

-Or what?

0:25:480:25:52

Eileen, you are better than this!

0:25:520:25:54

Or WHAT?!

0:25:540:25:55

I thought not.

0:25:570:25:59

Is it seeing me happy you can't stand?

0:26:010:26:04

Cos if that's the case,

0:26:040:26:06

you won't have to worry about that for much longer!

0:26:060:26:09

-What's that supposed to mean?

-I'm thinking of making a change.

0:26:090:26:14

Been stuck here for too long.

0:26:140:26:16

-Maybe get a job, move away. Might even stay in Portugal.

-No.

0:26:160:26:20

Why not? Mark's a wealthy man.

0:26:200:26:23

Be nice not to have to scrimp for a change!

0:26:230:26:25

You're not taking Stuart anywhere.

0:26:250:26:27

You think you can stop me? With this?!

0:26:270:26:29

You're pathetic! You want to know about me and Mark?

0:26:300:26:34

I'll tell you. With HIM, I feel something!

0:26:340:26:37

D'you mind telling me how you got these?

0:26:480:26:50

I hired someone. Does it matter?

0:26:500:26:52

You said you'd nothing on the guy. Well now you do!

0:26:520:26:55

Really? Bank statements that aren't even yours?

0:26:550:26:58

You've no right to have these

0:26:580:27:00

and in any case all it shows is that Vincent paid Eileen some money.

0:27:000:27:04

-Oh, come off it, what for!?

-I dunno. Gift.

0:27:040:27:08

-Well then you tell me?

-I don't know!

-Exactly.

0:27:100:27:14

I tell you, I know this.

0:27:150:27:16

That man bought housing stock on very favourable terms.

0:27:160:27:20

Now where did he get the inside information from?!

0:27:200:27:22

You think he bribed Eileen?

0:27:240:27:26

That is quite an allegation without any evidence, Raymond.

0:27:260:27:29

Vincent and Eileen are a couple. Lending each other money isn't unusual.

0:27:290:27:32

I gave Robbie cash to buy the salon.

0:27:320:27:34

He's only known her five minutes.

0:27:340:27:36

You don't give that much and not expect something in return!

0:27:360:27:39

That doesn't mean it's dodgy!

0:27:390:27:41

In any case, what you and I think doesn't matter.

0:27:410:27:44

-You need proof.

-Here's your proof.

0:27:440:27:47

But a jury has to be sure. Otherwise they'll acquit.

0:27:470:27:51

And they might not be so soft on Eileen...

0:27:510:27:53

But he's the one behind it.

0:27:530:27:54

But you don't get to pick. So my advice is forget it.

0:27:540:27:58

Hey! He's thrown people out of their homes.

0:28:030:28:06

He's set to make a killing. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. But you don't care?

0:28:060:28:11

-OK. OK, I'll talk to her.

-Talk to him!

0:28:110:28:14

No! Like I said. You don't get to pick.

0:28:140:28:17

Eileen? Can you come with me, please?

0:28:270:28:31

-I've got somewhere I need to be.

-I know, look I want to keep this as low-key as possible,

0:28:310:28:35

but an allegation has been made. I'm sorry.

0:28:350:28:38

What've you told him?

0:28:470:28:49

-I showed him the statements. What was I supposed to do?

-You went to the police?!

0:28:490:28:53

Just tell them about Mark Vincent. It's him they want.

0:28:530:28:55

Eileen, can you get in the car, please?

0:28:550:28:57

You must really hate me!

0:28:590:29:01

Even more than you love your own son!

0:29:010:29:04

I don't. I don't.

0:29:070:29:13

KNOCK ON THE DOOR

0:29:160:29:18

Hello, I'm after a Raymond Henderson.

0:29:290:29:32

He's not here the now. Can I help?

0:29:320:29:34

I've an appointment. Jo Tait.

0:29:340:29:36

I'm the bar reporter.

0:29:360:29:38

Well if he's not here...

0:29:380:29:40

ENGINE STARTS

0:29:480:29:50

Mate, you better get back to the pub.

0:30:020:30:05

Oh, f...

0:30:070:30:08

I really can't wait much longer.

0:30:260:30:28

RUNNING FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:30:280:30:30

Mr Henderson, better late than never. Jo Tait.

0:30:320:30:35

I was just saying how you were out getting more stuff...

0:30:350:30:38

-Aye. That's right.

-Nice picture.

0:30:380:30:41

Look, I know this place doesn't look much now but...

0:30:410:30:44

No, I mean it's a nice picture. It's great you've got the mother in.

0:30:440:30:48

Are you still communicating?

0:30:480:30:49

Hold on, I thought this was about what I had to offer?

0:30:490:30:53

-It is.

-Well in that case, what does it matter how things are with me and Eileen?

0:30:530:30:57

Mr Henderson, your relationship is only of concern,

0:30:570:31:00

in as much as it affects Stuart.

0:31:000:31:02

Just let her know what having Stuart means to you.

0:31:030:31:05

That would be helpful.

0:31:070:31:09

It means... everything.

0:31:170:31:18

I thought that I would never be a father again.

0:31:200:31:23

See, me and Eileen already had two. And er...

0:31:240:31:30

Both times...

0:31:300:31:32

Well, so...

0:31:340:31:36

So, when it happened again. I was terrified.

0:31:360:31:42

But having Stuart depend on me...

0:31:440:31:48

is the best feeling in the world. And yeah, I still get scared.

0:31:490:31:55

But, see, now everything makes sense,

0:31:550:32:01

and I know that I can look after my son....

0:32:010:32:05

All I'm asking you for is that chance.

0:32:050:32:10

Would you be willing to do that in partnership with Ms Donachie?

0:32:110:32:15

Yeah.

0:32:210:32:24

Take a seat.

0:32:340:32:36

Now we have called your lawyer a call.

0:32:390:32:41

But I must stress, you're not under arrest,

0:32:410:32:44

but it will be a lot easier if you can answer a couple of questions.

0:32:440:32:47

OK?

0:32:470:32:48

Eileen, an allegation's been made that you were given money by

0:32:480:32:52

Mark Vincent in order to corruptly supply confidential information.

0:32:520:32:56

All I need you to do is tell me what the money was really for and then we can let this whole thing go.

0:32:560:33:02

No comment.

0:33:090:33:11

OK. What can I do for you?

0:33:150:33:17

What I want from you doesn't require any effort. You just listen.

0:33:200:33:26

Then get in your car and you never come back.

0:33:260:33:31

-I found some things out about you.

-Did you now?

0:33:310:33:35

And that information is now with the police.

0:33:350:33:38

In fact, they're talking to Eileen even as we speak.

0:33:380:33:42

Sooner or later they're going to want to talk to you.

0:33:420:33:45

Not least about the cash that you paid her for the inside information.

0:33:450:33:50

Inside information? No. I did give her money, yeah.

0:33:500:33:55

To buy bits and bobs for our holiday. I'm particular how my women look.

0:33:550:33:59

Save it. It was thousands! You're in this up to your neck!

0:33:590:34:02

Can you prove that?

0:34:020:34:04

Cos believe me, one thing I always do is cover my own back.

0:34:040:34:08

Tell that to the police.

0:34:080:34:10

Gladly. Or rather my lawyer will.

0:34:100:34:13

See that's one of the perks,

0:34:140:34:16

being able to afford people that can sort things out.

0:34:160:34:19

Not that I suppose Eileen can.

0:34:190:34:21

Which is, phew, well, it's unfortunate.

0:34:210:34:24

All right. What do I have to do?

0:34:270:34:30

To make you disappear, what do you want?

0:34:300:34:33

You're offering me a deal?

0:34:330:34:36

To tell the police that Eileen wasn't involved!

0:34:360:34:39

Now that is touching. OK, let me see. I know.

0:34:390:34:45

What about you buy my properties off me.

0:34:450:34:48

At a mark-up, of course. A man has to eat.

0:34:480:34:50

I can't do that. I haven't got that sort of money.

0:34:500:34:53

Well, if you don't, the lovely Eileen might end up behind bars.

0:34:530:34:56

Where as me...

0:34:560:34:58

Shall we say 250K? Yeah, that should just about cover it.

0:34:590:35:05

I just told you, I HAVEN'T GOT THAT SORT OF MONEY!

0:35:050:35:09

How about friends? Well, there must be someone that'll help you out.

0:35:090:35:14

I'll give you till close of play.

0:35:180:35:20

SHE SOBS

0:35:300:35:35

-Sure you won't?

-Can we get this over with?

0:36:000:36:03

You've made an offer to buy Deek's flat. I've accepted.

0:36:050:36:09

-But I need it in cash.

-Cash? Sounds a bit desperate?

0:36:090:36:14

I haven't got time to mess about.

0:36:140:36:16

-HE SIGHS

-And I don't wanna buy Deek's flat.

0:36:180:36:20

-What?

-Nah, I've changed my mind.

0:36:200:36:23

But what I'd like to know is what made you change yours?

0:36:230:36:27

-But you're getting it for a song!

-Price is immaterial.

0:36:270:36:30

What I want to know is why the big hurry?

0:36:300:36:33

Look, I really didn't want to come here.

0:36:340:36:37

If there was anyone else...

0:36:390:36:41

All right, I do need the money. It's for family.

0:36:490:36:53

I've made mistakes, right?! I lost Deek because of one of them.

0:36:570:37:03

Now I'm about to lose what I've got left.

0:37:030:37:06

This to do with Vincent?

0:37:080:37:10

I need the money to stop him incriminating Eileen.

0:37:150:37:20

I've had to offer to buy his flats off him.

0:37:220:37:24

Fine. But I'm still not buying Deek's.

0:37:320:37:36

-Eh?

-But I'll lend you the money.

-Lend?

-Aye, it's Christmas.

0:37:360:37:43

If you can't help out a neighbour at this time a year, when can you? Why don't you let me handle this?

0:37:430:37:48

Dealing with people like Vincent,

0:37:490:37:51

well that's more my forte than it's yours.

0:37:510:37:54

PHONE RINGS

0:38:060:38:08

SHE TUTS AND SIGHS

0:38:080:38:10

Hamilton residence. No, I'm sorry she can't come to the phone.

0:38:250:38:30

She's in bed.

0:38:300:38:31

No, nothing serious.

0:38:320:38:35

She likes to take the weight off her feet since she got the bunions.

0:38:350:38:39

Hah! Oh, it's her own fault.

0:38:400:38:42

Doctor Dan advised her to wear sensible shoes.

0:38:420:38:47

But well... You know what women are like. Aye, bye!

0:38:470:38:51

What's the matter? You not want folk to know your ailments?

0:38:540:38:57

Aye, it wouldn't be nice having everyone knowing.

0:38:570:39:01

Sniggering behind your back.

0:39:010:39:02

Bit like having your face plastered all over a bucket.

0:39:030:39:07

Then again it's only sad old Malcolm. Who cares?

0:39:080:39:13

You can laugh in his face! Come tomorrow he won't even remember!

0:39:130:39:17

So you don't need to worry, pet.

0:39:180:39:20

I'll still be the one getting the pity.

0:39:200:39:23

It's all I'm good for!

0:39:230:39:24

No! That's not it at all!

0:39:270:39:30

Ha! Got you at last, eh?! Then what is it?

0:39:300:39:34

You think I...? I was doing it for you.

0:39:360:39:41

Then don't! I'm not a charity.

0:39:410:39:45

Do you not think I've lost enough already without losing my dignity as well?!

0:39:450:39:50

Tell me, DC Cooper, did you spend much time in uniform?

0:40:040:40:08

Some.

0:40:080:40:09

Then you'll remember the first rule - avoid domestics like the plague.

0:40:090:40:14

Particularly if they involve Raymond Henderson.

0:40:140:40:16

There is evidence that money has changed hands.

0:40:160:40:18

And Vincent's explanation is iffy in the extreme.

0:40:180:40:21

HE SIGHS

0:40:210:40:23

OK. If we get more, then you can go back to it. Happy?

0:40:230:40:26

But not when it's part of some domestic bust-up.

0:40:260:40:29

I'll drop it if you want?

0:40:310:40:33

That's up to you. I wish you'd never picked it up.

0:40:330:40:37

Good luck to them.

0:40:550:40:56

Better use of my money than a lot of things. A pint.

0:40:560:41:00

At least they don't parade some poor soul in order to get your cash.

0:41:000:41:04

You OK? What's up?

0:41:040:41:06

-I want my picture off that. Now!

-The bucket?

0:41:080:41:12

Can you believe Liz would do such a thing just in order to

0:41:120:41:15

indulge this charity thing of hers?

0:41:150:41:18

Malcolm, that 'charity thing'

0:41:180:41:20

is raising a lot of money for the Music Therapy class.

0:41:200:41:22

But why me?! Why not somebody else?

0:41:220:41:26

Maybe because you're popular. You're half the reason most people come.

0:41:270:41:31

And maybe when they think how much you put in it gets them

0:41:310:41:34

to chip in a few quid too. It's not charity. It's pay-back.

0:41:340:41:39

Cheers.

0:41:420:41:43

TV IS ON

0:41:500:41:51

-What're you doing back?

-I live here. Remember?

0:41:540:41:58

You've been working. Thought you might stop off for a bevy.

0:41:580:42:01

I will. Where's my wee princess?

0:42:010:42:04

Doing her homework. It's a wee project.

0:42:040:42:08

-I thought she wasnae at school.

-Daddy!

0:42:080:42:11

Darling. What's happened to you?

0:42:130:42:16

What d'you mean what's happened? What's it look like?

0:42:160:42:18

It looks like a Belisha beacon. What've you done to her?!

0:42:180:42:21

Just a wee fake tan. I think it looks great.

0:42:210:42:24

Fake tan! At her age?!

0:42:240:42:27

It's just a wee test run. I'll wash it off the night.

0:42:270:42:30

Oh, that's not so bad then, eh? You know you're unbelievable.

0:42:300:42:33

I might've known you wouldn't understand!

0:42:330:42:36

I'm just giving her a chance to win. Come here, darlin'.

0:42:360:42:38

This pageant thing again!

0:42:380:42:40

We are talking about a wee lassie's dreams here.

0:42:400:42:43

You might be happy with your lot, but some of us can dream bigger!

0:42:430:42:47

Are you sure this is about Madonna?

0:42:470:42:50

Tell you what, I'm going to the pub! URGH!

0:42:500:42:53

-I bet you're needing a stiff drink.

-What?

0:43:000:43:03

Well, can't have been easy for you keeping your mouth shut.

0:43:030:43:06

You've usually got something to say about most things...

0:43:060:43:09

I'm not staying. I just need to have a word with Stevie.

0:43:090:43:13

A wee bit of order, folks! Cheers.

0:43:130:43:16

Now we all know Liz has been doing a wee sponsored silence.

0:43:180:43:21

And we hope she's set an example for a few other women here!

0:43:210:43:26

Me?! Ya wee toe rag.

0:43:260:43:28

But for now, this belongs to Liz.

0:43:290:43:33

-No, it doesn't.

-How not?

0:43:330:43:37

Och, I broke the rules.

0:43:370:43:39

I spoke before I should have, so I can't take it.

0:43:390:43:43

As a matter of fact,

0:43:430:43:45

I seem to have got this wrong from start to finish, apparently.

0:43:450:43:49

So, sorry, everybody.

0:43:490:43:52

Somebody's gonnae have to take it.

0:43:520:43:54

Take it. You deserve it.

0:44:000:44:03

If Liz spoke sooner than she should have, it was my fault.

0:44:030:44:06

First my stupid teasing.

0:44:060:44:09

Then I let my pride get in the way of all these other folk being helped.

0:44:090:44:13

And been grateful for Liz's caring. So, will you accept my apology?

0:44:130:44:19

Get a room you two!

0:44:210:44:23

So from now on, Liz has my full support!

0:44:230:44:26

Mr Vincent, Lenny Murdoch. Nice to meet you.

0:44:450:44:49

-Where's Raymond?

-Called away.

0:44:500:44:53

But I'm the person putting up the money, so I'm the only one that needs to be here.

0:44:530:44:57

Come on through. I'll not keep you long.

0:44:570:45:01

-We're both busy men.

-So, you've got the money?

0:45:010:45:04

-Yes.

-Good. Then there's a few wee expenses, we need to discuss.

0:45:040:45:09

Well, the 250k is for the flats, but Henderson wants me to go as well.

0:45:110:45:16

So I'd say a relocation dividend is due.

0:45:160:45:19

Shall we say another 10%?

0:45:190:45:22

10%. I hope there's room for negotiation eh?

0:45:220:45:28

You are going to be reasonable, Mr Vincent.

0:45:280:45:31

Well, 10% is my offer.

0:45:310:45:32

Though I'm willing to go eight to show goodwill.

0:45:320:45:35

I never made myself clear.

0:45:370:45:39

See I was thinking more 0%.

0:45:390:45:43

-HE LAUGHS

-What's going on?

0:45:450:45:48

Mr Henderson is going to buy the flats from you.

0:45:480:45:51

But for the exact price that you paid. No mark-up.

0:45:510:45:54

No profit.

0:45:540:45:55

I gave Mr Henderson the price.

0:45:570:45:58

So he can either pay up or forget it.

0:45:580:46:01

See that's just not gonna happen.

0:46:010:46:04

You don't intimidate me. What are you, some kinda two-bit gangster?

0:46:040:46:10

Oh, that's a pity.

0:46:110:46:13

See right up to that second there, I thought maybe you and me were two of a kind.

0:46:130:46:17

But we're not. Cos I always know who I'm doing business with.

0:46:170:46:21

-I leave nothing to chance.

-What are you talking about?

0:46:210:46:25

Mark Vincent, yeah, I know about you.

0:46:250:46:26

You've got a wife, house in Balmedie.

0:46:260:46:29

Nice out there, isn't it? Clean air. Couple of kids.

0:46:290:46:33

What else do I know about you.

0:46:330:46:34

Oh yeah, yeah, you've cost people a lot of money.

0:46:340:46:38

You've got enemies.

0:46:380:46:40

I'm a businessman, of course I make enemies.

0:46:400:46:42

And you always make sure you get out before anything sticks.

0:46:420:46:45

And everybody's just got to write off their loss.

0:46:450:46:48

Of course when it's personal they might not be as willing to do that.

0:46:480:46:51

-Personal?

-Sorry did I not say.

0:46:510:46:54

One of the people you put out their homes was my grandson.

0:46:550:47:00

So unless you're willing to accept Mr Henderson's very reasonable offer,

0:47:000:47:04

I'm not likely to forget that.

0:47:040:47:06

I will haunt you. I will follow you wherever you go.

0:47:090:47:13

Hurting you.

0:47:130:47:15

In the only way people like you get hurt, in the pocket.

0:47:150:47:20

I'll make sure you never make one penny profit ever again.

0:47:200:47:27

So what do you say, do we have a deal?

0:47:300:47:35

OK, I spoke to Mr Vincent, he assures me

0:47:550:47:59

he can account for every penny.

0:47:590:48:01

Says it was for flights that you booked on his behalf.

0:48:010:48:04

Can you confirm this?

0:48:040:48:05

Yeah.

0:48:070:48:09

He also mentioned he'd be leaving Glasgow.

0:48:090:48:12

Maybe not such a good idea to follow him.

0:48:120:48:14

Right, so the case is closed.

0:48:190:48:22

But if I get wind of anything else like this

0:48:220:48:25

I will be forced to pursue it fully. Understood?

0:48:250:48:28

OK. Thank you.

0:48:300:48:32

-I owe you.

-Course you do. It's a loan.

0:48:520:48:56

What, do I look like the fat guy in the red jacket?

0:48:560:49:01

So you scared him off?

0:49:010:49:02

Let's just say he didn't like me rattling his skeletons around.

0:49:020:49:06

Why didn't I see any of that family stuff?

0:49:060:49:08

Must have come in later.

0:49:080:49:10

Listen, just the one thing.

0:49:140:49:16

Collateral for the loan. I was thinking The Ship.

0:49:180:49:23

What?! No! No way!

0:49:260:49:31

What else you got?

0:49:310:49:33

You're not getting your hands on my pub again.

0:49:330:49:35

Fine. I'll call Vincent? Tell him the deal's off?

0:49:350:49:39

You kept stuff back about Vincent. You played me!

0:49:420:49:46

No, no. You played yourself, mate.

0:49:460:49:50

I just wound you up and let you run.

0:49:500:49:52

But why?

0:49:560:49:59

Why not? Collateral, is The Ship.

0:49:590:50:03

Miss one payment, she's mine.

0:50:030:50:08

HE SIGHS

0:50:320:50:36

He's asleep. Gina put him down.

0:50:400:50:43

-And I'm sorry.

-Are you?

-I know you won't believe me.

0:50:450:50:51

Are you surprised?

0:50:510:50:53

I lost it. I didn't even recognise myself doing half those things.

0:50:550:51:01

Like getting me locked up?

0:51:010:51:03

Can we not do this?

0:51:050:51:08

I'm so tired of us battling each other.

0:51:080:51:11

No. No, I deserve an answer.

0:51:110:51:15

-I never meant that to happen.

-I was humiliated.

0:51:160:51:19

I know, and I'm sorry. But please listen.

0:51:190:51:28

This person, that's been getting things wrong... it's not me.

0:51:320:51:38

You have to see that.

0:51:380:51:40

I've been bashing around. Hitting out at you.

0:51:420:51:46

When you're the one person that I should've come to for help.

0:51:470:51:52

So what happens now?

0:51:520:51:55

I've bought the homes. I got the police off your back.

0:51:550:52:00

I'm trying to get back what I really want.

0:52:000:52:03

Which is what?

0:52:050:52:06

This. Us.

0:52:080:52:10

Do you mean that?! You want us to come back

0:52:140:52:18

after everything that's happened?!

0:52:180:52:20

I was right about Vincent.

0:52:200:52:22

The man left his kids, did he tell you that?!

0:52:220:52:24

But he's gone now. He's out of your life.

0:52:260:52:29

So we can all move back here, and start over.

0:52:310:52:34

He's gone and you think I'm just going to come running?

0:52:370:52:42

How sad does that make you? Poor, poor Raymond.

0:52:440:52:48

Cos that's never gonna happen. Now you listen to me.

0:52:480:52:52

I was arrested! I was humiliated! And for what?!

0:52:520:52:57

For trying to keep my child safe?

0:52:570:52:59

-For getting involved with another man?

-Eileen...

0:52:590:53:01

No, this is my turn! OK, the man left his kids!

0:53:010:53:05

No, I didn't know that!

0:53:050:53:07

But you just couldn't resist telling me, could you?

0:53:070:53:11

Cos that way, you get to point out my mistakes yet again!

0:53:110:53:15

Well anything I have done pales beside what you did.

0:53:160:53:21

So sorry, it doesn't even begin to cut it.

0:53:220:53:26

And I wouldn't get back into your bed if you were the last man alive!

0:53:270:53:32

Now, I'm gonna go and get my son.

0:53:340:53:37

You're going to pay for this Raymond.

0:53:420:53:45

For what you did today.

0:53:450:53:46

You're never going to stop paying.

0:53:480:53:50

Here? Is it true?

0:54:490:54:51

Lenny's in there. Saying you bought the flats back.

0:54:520:54:55

-Where did the money come from?

-Nothing for you to worry about.

0:54:550:54:59

Here you are? Spill the beans!

0:55:070:55:10

Sorry, mate, didn't want you hiding your light under a bushel.

0:55:100:55:14

So have you bought them?

0:55:140:55:17

Yeah. Everybody gets to move back in.

0:55:170:55:19

LAUGHING AND CHEERING

0:55:190:55:21

That definitely deserves a drink!

0:55:240:55:27

Stevie, open up a tab, eh? This one's on me.

0:55:270:55:29

Mine's a malt.

0:55:290:55:31

Thank you. Thank you so much.

0:55:310:55:33

This is the best Christmas present ever!

0:55:330:55:35

I told Madonna she'd be home for Christmas. So that gets me out of a tight spot!

0:55:350:55:38

This'll take more than one drink to sink in.

0:55:380:55:41

Here. Think this'll suit you more than me!

0:55:410:55:44

Aye, you're a real hero. Here's to Christmas.

0:55:470:55:50

Yay! To Christmas!

0:55:500:55:53

To you and yours, eh? Can't argue with that.

0:55:530:55:56

It's a serious competition.

0:56:100:56:11

But she's allowed to have some fun!

0:56:110:56:13

Aye well, it'll not be fun when she's up there,

0:56:130:56:15

embarrassing herself in front of the other weans will it.

0:56:150:56:18

Right, one, two three, turn.

0:56:180:56:20

I don't believe it. They're writing about us on a blog now.

0:56:200:56:24

They're not even pictures of me.

0:56:240:56:27

I thought we could maybe go out for our dinner tonight,

0:56:270:56:29

just the two of us, might have something to celebrate later on.

0:56:290:56:32

Aye, well we'll see.

0:56:320:56:35

-What happened?!

-Vincent.

0:56:350:56:38

We're due to move in today, I promised Madonna we'd be in for Christmas!

0:56:380:56:41

Could you speak to Gina, see if you could stay a bit longer.
