She never made us feel that way, I can assure you.

0:00:000:00:01

We're very fortunate.

0:00:220:00:23

How exactly?

0:00:240:00:25

Well, we might have been sitting right here when it came down.

0:00:250:00:29

That'll be the bathroom ceiling, kitchen light fitting, all gubbed.

0:00:290:00:32

What are we going to do with no electric?

0:00:320:00:34

It's all right, Dad, you can come and stay with me.

0:00:340:00:36

How long? A week at least.

0:00:360:00:38

You're giving me advice about women?

0:00:380:00:41

You, the sad sack divorcee holding a torch for his one true love,

0:00:410:00:45

while he's shagging escorts?

0:00:450:00:47

I am taking the stand tomorrow

0:00:470:00:50

and ruining my reputation to try to keep you out of jail.

0:00:500:00:55

Jeezo. Are you sure you've got enough in there?

0:00:550:00:58

It's not just a matter of a few clothes, you know?

0:00:580:01:00

It's just such an upheaval. It's going to be OK.

0:01:010:01:04

DOOR OPENS

0:03:320:03:33

DOOR CLOSES

0:03:350:03:36

All ready to go, dear?

0:03:390:03:41

Go? Go where?

0:03:410:03:43

Home, Malcolm, home.

0:03:440:03:46

Right. One coat.

0:03:480:03:49

Listen, I'll just have a quick check round before we leave.

0:03:510:03:53

Right, sir, come on.

0:03:530:03:54

It's OK, if I find anything, I'll bring it round later.

0:03:540:03:57

No, no, you've got that meeting today.

0:03:570:03:59

Listen, it'll not take me a second.

0:03:590:04:01

All right. On you go.

0:04:010:04:02

I've loved having you. Honestly.

0:04:050:04:07

Right. Action stations.

0:04:130:04:15

I'll take your coat. Oh, aye.

0:04:380:04:39

There.

0:04:530:04:54

Must be good to be back in your favourite chair, eh?

0:04:560:04:59

Why did they move the telly?

0:05:010:05:02

They didn't, it's always been there.

0:05:040:05:06

You might be thinking of Eileen's flat.

0:05:080:05:10

Aye, maybe, aye.

0:05:110:05:12

Right, I think this calls for a cup of tea

0:05:150:05:18

and maybe a wee slice of cake.

0:05:180:05:20

Cake for breakfast?

0:05:220:05:23

No, for a treat.

0:05:230:05:27

We had breakfast at Eileen's, didn't we?

0:05:280:05:31

We had porridge? With Stuart?

0:05:310:05:33

Oh, aye, I remember.

0:05:330:05:36

He fairly wolfed it down, eh?

0:05:370:05:39

He did. He's a growing boy.

0:05:390:05:41

Maybe we should go home,

0:05:420:05:44

so we're there when he gets home from the nursery...eh?

0:05:440:05:48

Malcolm...we ARE home.

0:05:510:05:54

Maybe I'll make that tea.

0:05:570:05:59

No, no, you've got your meeting in town.

0:05:590:06:02

I can spare five minutes.

0:06:020:06:04

Eileen, I think...

0:06:040:06:07

I think maybe your being here is maybe adding to the confusion.

0:06:080:06:12

I hope you don't my saying...

0:06:120:06:13

No, no. I understand.

0:06:130:06:14

Bye, Dad.

0:06:170:06:18

Bye. Bye. I'll call you later.

0:06:180:06:20

Bye-bye then, Eileen, and thank you for everything.

0:06:210:06:24

Aye, thanks. My pleasure.

0:06:240:06:26

Right, cake.

0:06:300:06:32

I won't be long.

0:06:410:06:43

Liz, where are you? I'm just making a cup of tea, dear.

0:06:580:07:01

Liz?

0:07:040:07:05

GLASS SHATTERS

0:07:270:07:28

What happened?

0:07:300:07:32

I knocked it over putting on my coat.

0:07:320:07:34

Why?

0:07:360:07:37

You couldnae swing a cat in here.

0:07:370:07:39

No, I mean why the coat?

0:07:390:07:41

I want to go home, woman, can't you understand English?

0:07:410:07:45

No, this is our home.

0:07:450:07:47

You've lived here for 50 years.

0:07:490:07:51

We were only staying at Eileen's for a wee while.

0:07:530:07:56

Are you sure? Yes.

0:07:580:07:59

And here's me breaking your photo.

0:08:020:08:05

Uch, it's just a frame.

0:08:050:08:06

I'm sorry.

0:08:090:08:11

We can always get a new one.

0:08:110:08:13

CLASSICAL MUSIC

0:08:180:08:19

Book Shaw for five and shuffle McElhone to eleven.

0:09:170:09:20

If we can do that without offending either party,

0:09:200:09:22

I'll get you tickets for the opening ceremony.

0:09:220:09:24

Catch you later.

0:09:240:09:25

Mr Paton?

0:09:270:09:28

Councillor Donachie, you're here, excellent. I'm a bit early.

0:09:280:09:31

That's good, it'll give us more time to chat.

0:09:310:09:34

It's Eileen, isn't it?

0:09:350:09:36

Is it OK if I call you Eileen?

0:09:360:09:38

Why shouldn't it be? Smashing.

0:09:380:09:40

I'm Frank, just through here.

0:09:400:09:41

Thanks for seeing me at short notice.

0:09:430:09:44

My pleasure, I was intrigued.

0:09:440:09:46

Yeah?

0:09:460:09:47

Uh-huh. Should I be worried?

0:09:470:09:49

It's nothing we can't handle.

0:09:490:09:50

So, what do you think?

0:09:540:09:56

What am I looking at, exactly?

0:09:570:09:59

A major redevelopment project.

0:09:590:10:01

Phase one is homes, from affordable housing to luxury apartments.

0:10:010:10:06

Phase one?

0:10:060:10:07

Phase two - retail units, office space -

0:10:070:10:11

which means permanent jobs over and above the construction work

0:10:110:10:14

a project of this size creates.

0:10:140:10:16

Major regeneration for Shieldinch.

0:10:180:10:20

This is gonnae impact on every single person I represent.

0:10:210:10:25

Some people won't be happy, I get that -

0:10:250:10:28

but I want the vast majority behind this.

0:10:280:10:29

To see this as a positive thing.

0:10:290:10:32

Starting with you.

0:10:330:10:35

Tell me more.

0:10:350:10:37

Thanks so much for your time, Eileen. Are you kidding?

0:10:390:10:41

The whole thing is so exciting.

0:10:410:10:43

I'm glad you feel that way about it.

0:10:430:10:45

It's still gonnae be a tough sell to some people.

0:10:450:10:47

Listen, I'll clear my diary for tomorrow.

0:10:470:10:50

I'll come over and see you,

0:10:500:10:51

talk to the locals, have a wee walk about,

0:10:510:10:54

start laying some groundwork. I'd appreciate that. I really would.

0:10:540:10:58

OK, then. Right.

0:10:580:10:59

In the meantime, could you keep this to yourself?

0:10:590:11:02

Not a problem.

0:11:020:11:03

Bye. Bye.

0:11:030:11:04

Aye, very nice.

0:12:280:12:29

Aye? It's Fairtrade.

0:12:290:12:31

I've got a sample case and everybody pure loves it.

0:12:320:12:35

I was thinking we could do like a really nice selection -

0:12:350:12:38

some people really know their coffee.

0:12:380:12:40

Is it not all the same, pretty much?

0:12:400:12:44

Well, naw - think about your bars.

0:12:440:12:46

You've got hunners of types of vodka, haven't you?

0:12:460:12:49

I'm selling the bars.

0:12:490:12:50

Well, it's no' just the coffee -

0:12:520:12:54

I was thinking we could get more sockets.

0:12:540:12:56

Like - power points.

0:12:570:13:00

People come in here with laptops and they sit all day, don't they?

0:13:000:13:02

I was thinking we could maybe do snacks to keep them going.

0:13:020:13:07

Maybe start some loyalty cards.

0:13:070:13:10

We could put a telly up so that people can watch the news and that.

0:13:100:13:12

Power points, snacks, and a telly - they're your big ideas?

0:13:120:13:17

Well, I'm sorry I wasted your time.

0:13:170:13:19

No, look, wait...

0:13:190:13:21

I'm sure these things would pay off -

0:13:210:13:23

only I'm not the guy to talk to.

0:13:230:13:26

I've had it with Glasgow.

0:13:260:13:28

It's not just the bars I want rid of, it's my flat...

0:13:280:13:30

And this place too.

0:13:300:13:33

I'm done, Stella.

0:13:330:13:35

All right.

0:13:370:13:39

Can I be honest with you?

0:13:390:13:41

Aye, course you can.

0:13:410:13:43

When I took the cafe on originally, I thought of it as somewhere

0:13:430:13:46

that my daughter might eventually take an interest in.

0:13:460:13:50

What about now?

0:13:500:13:52

Now she won't have an interest in anything to do with me.

0:13:520:13:56

I'm not going to ditch it overnight so your job's safe for now -

0:13:560:14:00

and the new people, they'll need a manager, right?

0:14:000:14:04

No' unless they want to run it themselves.

0:14:040:14:06

Why don't you talk to your bank? See about a loan?

0:14:060:14:09

Alex, you took a chance on me on, and I'm really grateful for that,

0:14:090:14:12

but it's gonnae take a lot more than a good word

0:14:120:14:15

for the banks to give me that kind of money.

0:14:150:14:17

What is taking so long?

0:15:090:15:11

You only came in for a drink of water.

0:15:110:15:13

I cannae find a glass.

0:15:130:15:15

Oh, Malcolm.

0:15:150:15:16

I cannae find anything in this place.

0:15:160:15:19

I don't know why you're making me stay here.

0:15:190:15:22

Because this is our home, darling! It's our home.

0:15:220:15:25

Look...

0:15:270:15:30

why don't we have lunch,

0:15:300:15:32

and then we can go for a wee drink before the music session.

0:15:320:15:35

Would you like that?

0:15:350:15:37

Malcolm Hamilton, I hope this isn't you turning down a trip to the pub

0:15:390:15:43

for the first time in your life!

0:15:430:15:45

No, no, no. Yeah, yeah.

0:15:450:15:48

Yeah, we will have a drink. Yeah.

0:15:480:15:51

Good man. Aye.

0:15:510:15:54

Funny place for a meeting, Francis.

0:16:050:16:07

I just felt like stretching my legs.

0:16:070:16:09

Come on.

0:16:090:16:10

You know, my father used to work down there.

0:16:130:16:16

When it was all shipyards.

0:16:160:16:18

Shop steward.

0:16:190:16:21

So that's why you brought me here -

0:16:210:16:23

a history lesson?

0:16:230:16:25

Nah, just to illustrate a point.

0:16:250:16:27

About change.

0:16:270:16:29

Cities change.

0:16:290:16:32

Entire landscapes change.

0:16:320:16:33

Think about the Games, what's happening in the East End.

0:16:340:16:37

We're not talking about hundreds of years.

0:16:400:16:43

It happens faster.

0:16:430:16:44

And do you know why?

0:16:450:16:47

Why?

0:16:470:16:49

Because men like us make it happen.

0:16:490:16:52

So you're going to offer me some sort of deal, is that it?

0:16:520:16:54

It's no' just a deal.

0:16:540:16:56

This is a game changer.

0:16:560:16:58

A life changer.

0:16:580:17:01

What if I don't want my life to be changed?

0:17:010:17:03

You're selling businesses it took you years to build up.

0:17:050:17:07

I'd say it's changed already.

0:17:070:17:10

Still got your friends on the licensing committee, then?

0:17:100:17:12

I've got friends in all the right places,

0:17:120:17:14

that's sort of what I bring to the table.

0:17:140:17:17

And what do I bring to the table?

0:17:180:17:20

Apart from a big bag of disposable cash?

0:17:200:17:23

Ambition.

0:17:230:17:24

See that wee coffee shop of yours? In Shieldinch, yeah?

0:17:250:17:30

That's right.

0:17:300:17:31

Big plans for that area. Plans you could be part of.

0:17:310:17:35

Flats. Apartment blocks. Shops. Waterfront promenade.

0:17:350:17:41

How much do you think I made from the bars?!

0:17:410:17:44

You don't fund the entire development.

0:17:440:17:46

You invest, yeah?

0:17:460:17:48

But then you become the face of the company

0:17:480:17:50

that buys the land and invests in the development.

0:17:500:17:54

Planning, construction - the works.

0:17:540:17:57

That's where the real money is.

0:17:580:18:00

I'm talking millions.

0:18:020:18:04

Potentially tens of millions.

0:18:050:18:08

Tell me how it works.

0:18:100:18:11

You and I form a partnership.

0:18:130:18:15

Only you're the silent kind of partner, am I right?

0:18:160:18:19

That's the way it's got to be.

0:18:190:18:21

I package together everything that's needed

0:18:210:18:23

but you have to be the face, the voice, the public figure.

0:18:230:18:27

And then what?

0:18:280:18:30

And then you have to hope that the city council

0:18:300:18:32

grants you preferred bidder status.

0:18:320:18:34

If only I had connections, eh?

0:18:350:18:38

If only.

0:18:390:18:40

What you thinking?

0:18:430:18:44

I'm thinking that wee coffee shop's going to be a gold mine.

0:18:450:18:49

The cherry on the icing on a very rich cake.

0:18:490:18:51

Is a handshake good enough for you?

0:18:540:18:56

Absolutely.

0:18:560:18:57

All right, pal.

0:19:050:19:06

Oh!

0:19:080:19:09

Is this you two having a wee celebration?

0:19:090:19:12

For what?

0:19:120:19:13

Oh, it must've been awful being a burden to Eileen all this time.

0:19:130:19:17

She never made us feel that way, I can assure you.

0:19:170:19:21

Same again, folks?

0:19:220:19:24

Aye, thanks, son.

0:19:240:19:26

I don't know, Malcolm, you've got that class later.

0:19:280:19:31

And I'll have a drink in the meantime.

0:19:310:19:33

Why don't I just leave you two in peace, eh?

0:19:350:19:38

All right, doll, how's it going?

0:19:430:19:46

Downhill, man. I need to speak to you.

0:19:460:19:49

So what's up?

0:19:580:20:00

Did your boss not like your big ideas?

0:20:000:20:02

He's selling the Oyster.

0:20:020:20:04

You're joking? Is that what he told you?

0:20:040:20:06

That he's thinking about it, aye.

0:20:060:20:08

Look, don't worry - you can get a few shifts behind the bar.

0:20:080:20:11

I don't want a few shifts behind the bar.

0:20:110:20:13

It was just an expression - I'll put you on the rota properly.

0:20:130:20:17

Thanks very much.

0:20:170:20:18

Right, start from the beginning, what did he say?

0:20:210:20:24

You look sensational. He'll be putty in your hands, believe me.

0:20:240:20:27

See you later. Bye.

0:20:270:20:30

Old flame, he looked her up on the internet.

0:20:300:20:34

Oof. Recipe for disaster.

0:20:340:20:36

Nice hair though.

0:20:360:20:38

Old flame, never a good idea.

0:20:380:20:40

Do loaded comments come free with every manicure?

0:20:410:20:44

Well, you are seeing Will tonight, aren't you?

0:20:440:20:47

It's not a date though, just a drink.

0:20:470:20:49

Two people, in a bar. Massive history. Massive baggage.

0:20:490:20:54

Sounds like a date to me. Well, it's not.

0:20:540:20:56

MOBILE BEEPS Feel free to get that.

0:20:560:20:59

It's Eileen. She wants to book me all day tomorrow.

0:21:010:21:05

What kind of state are her nails in?

0:21:050:21:07

No, not for here - for her office, council stuff.

0:21:070:21:11

Right, right - that does make more sense.

0:21:110:21:13

Usual, Murray?

0:21:190:21:21

Just a half - got to get back to the centre in a bit.

0:21:210:21:24

Afternoon. I'll be seeing you shortly?

0:21:240:21:26

You will indeed.

0:21:260:21:27

Right, come on, you, what can I do to cheer you up?

0:21:310:21:34

Nothing.

0:21:350:21:36

Thanks. After you.

0:21:400:21:43

Oh, forgot my bag.

0:21:430:21:45

That's what comes from bossing me around instead of looking

0:21:450:21:48

out for your own business.

0:21:480:21:49

Malcolm, I just didn't want us to be late.

0:21:490:21:52

God forbid I should miss my shot on that wee tambourine!

0:21:520:21:55

Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

0:21:560:21:59

Liz!

0:21:590:22:01

Liz! What's wrong?!

0:22:020:22:04

Stevie, want to give us some help here?

0:22:040:22:07

Liz, can you hear me? Liz.

0:22:070:22:10

Dan, it's Liz, she's collapsed, she needs a doctor.

0:22:100:22:13

Let me just grab my bag.

0:22:130:22:15

Good work, Murray, you keep her head supported.

0:22:240:22:26

OK, Liz? Did you lose consciousness?

0:22:260:22:29

I don't know. Anyone?

0:22:290:22:32

I think so. Maybe only 30 seconds, but aye.

0:22:330:22:36

Ambulance is on its way.

0:22:360:22:37

Oh, no. I can't go to hospital. I can't.

0:22:370:22:41

We need to get you checked out, Liz.

0:22:410:22:44

Aye, that's all, that's all, just checked out, checked out.

0:22:440:22:49

Dad! What's happened? How's Liz?

0:22:580:23:01

I don't know, I don't know.

0:23:010:23:04

She's in with the doctor now.

0:23:040:23:06

How are you, Dad?

0:23:060:23:08

She's having tests, they said.

0:23:080:23:10

Let me go and see if I can get an update?

0:23:120:23:14

She's in the best place - they'll take good care of her.

0:23:180:23:21

It's my fault, it's my fault. Don't say that, Dad.

0:23:210:23:25

I shouldn't have upset her, shouting at her. It's my fault.

0:23:250:23:31

No. Aye, it's my fault.

0:23:310:23:32

She's OK - you can go in and see her now, just for a moment.

0:23:340:23:37

Come on, let's go.

0:23:370:23:39

It's all to do with blood pressure.

0:23:450:23:46

Is she not taking her pills?

0:23:460:23:48

She is and that's part of the problem - if Liz isn't getting

0:23:480:23:51

enough rest or eating properly, the medication is too strong.

0:23:510:23:55

So she gets dizzy spells.

0:23:550:23:57

Dad's blaming himself. It's a vicious circle.

0:23:570:24:01

Malcolm is getting more demanding which is putting

0:24:010:24:03

a strain on Liz's health - she gets ill, he panics...

0:24:030:24:06

Then he gets more demanding. Yeah, I get it.

0:24:060:24:09

The sooner their GP lodger moves back in the better.

0:24:090:24:12

I'm joking, really. You've been great but I'd never take advantage.

0:24:140:24:18

Actually, Eileen, I've paid up at this B till

0:24:180:24:21

the end of the month and then I'll be looking for my own place.

0:24:210:24:24

It's time. Oh, right. Sorry to spring it on you like this.

0:24:240:24:30

Dan, is there no way you can have a word?

0:24:320:24:36

About what?

0:24:360:24:38

They're insisting I stay in for observation.

0:24:380:24:42

And they are right to.

0:24:420:24:43

You get a good night's sleep, you'll be home in the morning.

0:24:430:24:45

I'll look after Dad - it's just for one night.

0:24:450:24:48

You know, I'm awfully thirsty,

0:24:510:24:53

could you refill the water jug for me, dear?

0:24:530:24:57

Thank you. Aye, of course, love, anything...

0:24:570:24:59

Maybe Dr Dan will show you where to go?

0:24:590:25:01

Right. Do you have a pen and paper?

0:25:100:25:13

What for?

0:25:130:25:15

You're going to need a list - your father's medication,

0:25:150:25:18

in fact his whole routine.

0:25:180:25:20

I think I can manage for one night without...

0:25:200:25:22

I would rather you wrote it down, Eileen, please.

0:25:220:25:25

Right, fire away.

0:25:290:25:30

First things first, his medication - the...

0:25:310:25:37

What do you call it?

0:25:370:25:39

The blister pack is in the kitchen drawer.

0:25:390:25:42

Now, they are to be taken at mealtimes

0:25:420:25:45

and one last thing at night.

0:25:450:25:48

But a very small amount of water with that last one, for if he's up

0:25:480:25:53

in the night to go to the bathroom he can get very disoriented.

0:25:530:25:58

And, yes, there's a book on the bedside table...

0:25:580:26:00

He'll feel better once he's had something to eat.

0:26:110:26:14

Yeah.

0:26:140:26:15

You and Stuart want to stay? There's plenty.

0:26:160:26:19

I probably should get the wee man to bed, eh?

0:26:190:26:23

Yeah, you're right, it's late.

0:26:230:26:27

I appreciate you taking him at short notice.

0:26:270:26:30

Don't be daft.

0:26:300:26:31

It's a pleasure - I love spending time with him, you know that.

0:26:310:26:34

If I tell you something,

0:26:370:26:38

will you promise not to think I'm a terrible person?

0:26:380:26:41

I know you better than that.

0:26:420:26:45

I...

0:26:450:26:46

I always thought it would be Gina doing all this stuff.

0:26:490:26:52

I would do my share but not...

0:26:520:26:57

Not all of it, I know.

0:26:570:26:58

The way my dad is and Liz not being well,

0:27:000:27:04

I just see my life stretching out before me and...

0:27:040:27:07

..I'm scared. I don't know what I'm going to do!

0:27:080:27:12

Look, don't get upset.

0:27:130:27:15

I'll phone social services, see if there's support.

0:27:180:27:21

Look - I'll help out as much as I can.

0:27:210:27:23

I'll look after Stuart. I'll take your dad for a pint.

0:27:230:27:27

Might even see if he's up for a day's fishing if the weather's good.

0:27:270:27:31

That's kind. Thanks.

0:27:310:27:32

But I don't think it's going to be enough.

0:27:330:27:36

Right, you better get going.

0:27:380:27:41

Yeah.

0:27:420:27:44

MUSIC PLAYS OVER SPEECH

0:28:490:28:53

That's me lost a bet with myself.

0:29:140:29:17

How? I was half expecting the full walk of shame,

0:29:170:29:19

last night's clothes on, and all that.

0:29:190:29:21

Sorry to disappoint you.

0:29:210:29:23

Well, you didn't. I'm just glad you're taking it slow.

0:29:230:29:25

It was all very civilised, we just went for a drink.

0:29:250:29:28

So do you think you might, you know, take him back?

0:29:280:29:31

Maybe.

0:29:330:29:34

But it has to be mature and adult and mutually responsible -

0:29:340:29:37

both parties knowing exactly what they want and expect.

0:29:370:29:41

OK, well, in that case the sex is definitely out of it.

0:29:410:29:45

Oh, God, I pure fancy the pants off him, and I always have -

0:29:450:29:48

but I can't let that cloud my judgment any more.

0:29:480:29:51

You just keep remembering that. Deal. Are you coming in?

0:29:510:29:54

I'll pop the kettle on, you can be my life coach.

0:29:540:29:56

Much as I'd love to I need to get the office ready.

0:29:560:29:58

Got a council bigwig coming today. Yous are going up in the world.

0:29:580:30:02

Oh, what have I done with that damn thing?

0:30:050:30:09

I keep doing that, dropping it.

0:30:090:30:11

In the name of heaven, it must be here somewhere.

0:30:110:30:17

Where is it, for heaven's sake?

0:30:190:30:22

Oh, no!

0:30:220:30:24

Have I looked here?

0:30:240:30:27

Maybe it's in here, aye. Here we go. Oh, no, no!

0:30:270:30:31

Dad,

0:30:310:30:33

Dad what's going on? These bloody tablets.

0:30:330:30:36

I dropped one and I can't find it.

0:30:360:30:39

Liz usually watches me take them.

0:30:390:30:41

There's no need to get so worked up...

0:30:410:30:43

What if wee Stuart comes in and picks it up and thinks it's a sweetie?

0:30:430:30:46

I'll hoover before that.

0:30:460:30:48

Aye, that's a good idea - I'll go and get it.

0:30:480:30:51

No, no, Dad. No, no, not now, I can't now.

0:30:510:30:55

I just don't like the idea of medicine lying about.

0:30:560:30:59

Wait, wait, what tablet? What pill?

0:30:590:31:03

The wee capsule thing, red and white.

0:31:030:31:06

I haven't had a look in here.

0:31:070:31:09

Dad, you've taken that one. You had it after your breakfast.

0:31:090:31:12

I gave it to you myself.

0:31:120:31:13

Are you sure? Positive. I even ticked it off the list.

0:31:140:31:17

Oh thank heaven.

0:31:190:31:20

Panic over.

0:31:220:31:23

I'll get this lot cleared up.

0:31:230:31:26

I'm sorry, darlin'. I'm really sorry.

Look, that'll be Raymond, you go and let him in. OK.

0:31:320:31:35

Ah, welcome, how's tricks?

0:31:450:31:46

You're a life saver. Are you sure you've got time?

0:31:490:31:52

Plenty. I've just got to be back for a viewing at 11.00.

0:31:520:31:56

So what do you say, Mr Hamilton, sir?

0:31:560:31:58

Shall we fetch your good lady wife from the hospital

0:31:580:32:01

and bring her back home where she belongs?

0:32:010:32:03

Indeed we shall, we shall indeed.

0:32:030:32:06

Great, let's go.

0:32:060:32:07

We'll get your coat, eh? Ah, right.

0:32:070:32:10

Yeah, it's for my dad and his wife.

0:32:200:32:23

If you could look into that, that would be wonderful.

0:32:240:32:27

I really appreciate that.

0:32:270:32:29

OK, thanks, bye.

0:32:290:32:31

Hey! Is everything OK?

0:32:330:32:35

Yes, I'm just looking into getting some help for my dad and Liz.

0:32:350:32:38

I heard about her wee dizzy spell. How's she doing?

0:32:380:32:41

She's fine, they're letting her out of hospital this morning.

0:32:410:32:44

That's good. It's lucky they've got you on the doorstep.

0:32:440:32:47

Yeah, there's a lot of folk worse off, I suppose.

0:32:470:32:50

Is that the guy?

0:32:510:32:53

Yep, that's the guy.

0:32:550:32:57

Morning, Eileen.

0:33:020:33:04

Frank Paton, you must be Kelly-Marie.

0:33:040:33:06

Aye, I must be.

0:33:060:33:08

The councillor here speaks very highly of you.

0:33:080:33:10

Can I get you anything? Cup of tea?

0:33:100:33:12

I was thinking we might take a wee tour of the neighbourhood,

0:33:120:33:15

if that's OK with you, Eileen? Yeah, fine.

0:33:150:33:17

Smashin'.

0:33:170:33:18

PHONE RINGS

0:33:240:33:26

Pleasure. Likewise.

0:33:430:33:45

You're honoured - that's my mum putting her posh voice on.

0:33:450:33:47

Shut it, you. How's business, Scarlett, is it good?

0:33:470:33:50

Busy enough, aye. Are you open 24 hours?

0:33:500:33:52

No way! I'm here long enough as it is. I bet.

0:33:520:33:55

Still, if you'd enough customers you could take on more staff.

0:33:550:33:58

I can't see that paying, not round here.

0:33:580:34:01

Well, round here might be changing.

0:34:010:34:03

New homes, new businesses, more shops.

0:34:030:34:06

What kind of shops?

0:34:070:34:08

Not a supermarket, not even a convenience store.

0:34:080:34:11

That's stipulated in the proposals, right?

0:34:110:34:13

Oh, aye, this development's about giving people a wider option.

0:34:130:34:16

That might mean opening 24 hours.

0:34:160:34:19

Oh! Suppose that might mean your Bob will get his old job back.

0:34:190:34:22

It's possible. Can you tell us how busy it gets in here?

0:34:220:34:25

It may be helpful for the planning people.

0:34:250:34:27

Well, head office send us an e-mail once a month

0:34:270:34:29

but I don't really take any notice.

0:34:290:34:32

Tell you what, forward the next one to Eileen.

0:34:320:34:34

Nae bother. Anything to help a mate.

0:34:340:34:38

Morning. Hi, Leyla, this is Frank Paton from the city council.

0:34:420:34:46

Frank, this is Mrs Brodie, and Dr Hunter. Hi. Hi.

0:34:460:34:50

Frank's here to talk about patient capacity.

0:34:500:34:53

We're looking to green-light a new housing development in the area,

0:34:530:34:56

just sounding folk out. Looks like you could handle a few more.

0:34:560:34:59

Yeah, well, it's not usually this quiet.

0:34:590:35:01

Aye, sometimes you struggle to get an appointment. We do our best.

0:35:010:35:05

I know, I know.

0:35:050:35:07

I suppose it depends on what kind of numbers you're thinking about.

0:35:070:35:10

I was talking to a friend at the NHS. He was saying that

0:35:100:35:12

walk-in centres tied to local practices are the way forward.

0:35:120:35:15

Is that something you've ever looked into?

0:35:150:35:18

Not in any great detail. I thought it was an interesting option.

0:35:180:35:21

Can you spare ten minutes?

0:35:210:35:23

We can spare five.

0:35:230:35:25

Great.

0:35:250:35:26

This area here is where the major development is going to be.

0:35:320:35:35

Modern affordable housing for young hardworking families.

0:35:350:35:39

Hundreds more cars. Allocated parking at the rear.

0:35:390:35:42

But they still need to go in and out though, don't they?

0:35:420:35:45

What about weans crossing the road?

0:35:450:35:46

We'll make sure there's speed bumps in place. Look...

0:35:460:35:49

I want a community, not somewhere that's just handy for the M8.

0:35:490:35:53

You're a single parent, holding down two jobs,

0:35:550:35:57

this whole thing will be perfect for people like you.

0:35:570:36:00

More flats could mean your own place. Independence.

0:36:000:36:04

Aye, it could be great, eh? Glasgow's changing for the better

0:36:070:36:10

and this here is going to be a big part of it.

0:36:100:36:14

You don't look like you're here for Rhyme Time...

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to take this.

Hi, is everything OK?

Right, I'll be there in a minute.

I'm really sorry I'm going to have to go.

It's OK.

Mr Crozier, Frank Paton, City Council.

0:36:390:36:41

Do you mind if we have a wee chat?

0:36:410:36:43

City Council? Is there something wrong?

0:36:430:36:46

No, not at all.

0:36:460:36:47

Come in.

0:36:480:36:50

Just give us a wee minute.

0:36:500:36:51

Thank you.

0:36:570:36:59

Oh, Liz, it's great to have you back.

0:37:000:37:05

It's nice to be home.

0:37:050:37:06

And how are you feeling?

0:37:060:37:08

I'm tired, Eileen.

0:37:090:37:11

And the doctor said it was OK for her to get out?

0:37:130:37:16

All she needs is rest and she can get that here.

0:37:160:37:19

Are you sure you wouldn't be better in your bed?

0:37:190:37:22

No, no, dear, I'm fine here.

0:37:220:37:23

What about your medication?

0:37:230:37:25

There's a prescription... it's on the table.

0:37:260:37:30

Would you be able to go to the chemist?

0:37:300:37:33

Yeah, yeah, of course.

0:37:330:37:34

I'll get that, I've got to go for that viewing anyway.

0:37:340:37:37

Yeah, you get going. Bye, all.

0:37:370:37:40

Bye-bye.

0:37:400:37:42

I'll make us a big pot of tea.

0:37:420:37:44

I'll do that...

0:37:440:37:45

You've got your work to go to.

0:37:470:37:48

Work can wait, you keep your darling wife company.

0:37:480:37:52

Is Frank away?

0:38:070:38:08

Yeah.

0:38:100:38:12

Did he put you in the picture? Very much so.

0:38:130:38:15

I'll be updating my CV tonight.

0:38:160:38:18

I'm not with you.

0:38:190:38:20

I know how these things pan out.

0:38:210:38:23

Community centre closed and relocated due to building works.

0:38:240:38:27

I think you're being overly pessimistic.

0:38:270:38:30

And I think you're being naive, COUNCILLOR Donachie.

0:38:300:38:33

Paton as good as told me.

0:38:380:38:41

Right.

0:38:420:38:44

When you say, "as good as"?

0:38:450:38:47

What exactly did he say.

0:38:470:38:50

That's excellent, mate.

0:38:500:38:52

Yeah, I'll call you later, yeah. Cheers.

0:38:520:38:54

Do you think it's wise, you being here?

0:39:030:39:04

I'm just a politician, supporting a local, thriving

0:39:040:39:07

independent business, nothing wrong with that.

0:39:070:39:09

OK. I'm very impressed.

0:39:090:39:11

Aye, it's all right. A bit old-fashioned...

0:39:110:39:14

Not by the cafe, by the girl that's running it.

0:39:140:39:16

Frank, can I have a word, please?

0:39:170:39:18

Eileen, is there a problem?

0:39:180:39:21

You tell me. I was talking to Murray Crozier,

0:39:210:39:24

he seems to feel that the community centre's in jeopardy.

0:39:240:39:26

That's what I get for being straight with folk. Well, be straight with me.

0:39:260:39:29

We're not going to take it away, are we?

0:39:290:39:31

It's a major construction project, access will be an issue.

0:39:310:39:35

Look, Frank, my father uses that centre.

0:39:350:39:38

Moss Green can absorb the groups that use it.

0:39:380:39:40

We can lay on a shuttle bus. The developers will pay for it.

0:39:400:39:42

Hurray for the developers(!)

0:39:420:39:44

Eileen, you're a realist. The council are potless.

0:39:440:39:47

For this to happen we need private investment.

0:39:470:39:50

Sorry, there's my car.

0:39:500:39:52

Please, Eileen, no more worrying, OK?

0:39:520:39:56

You've got enough on your plate already.

0:39:560:39:58

Single or double?

0:40:150:40:16

Single. Stick it on my tab.

0:40:160:40:18

You'll need to pay that off when you sell up.

0:40:180:40:20

I suppose I will.

0:40:200:40:22

Have one yourself, you look tired.

0:40:220:40:24

Aye, I've been up all night, wasting my time.

0:40:240:40:27

Bank websites, loan company websites.

0:40:290:40:32

business initiative websites.

0:40:320:40:34

I never even got far enough to speak to an actual human.

0:40:340:40:37

I'm human. Talk to me.

0:40:380:40:40

About what?

0:40:400:40:42

Buying this place.

0:40:430:40:44

Humour me.

0:40:440:40:46

Tell me why you want it.

0:40:470:40:49

It runs like clockwork but I know I could do better.

0:40:590:41:03

I'd shift suppliers straightaway

0:41:050:41:06

because the ones we've got now take us for granted.

0:41:060:41:09

If we shopped about we'd get a better service and a better deal.

0:41:090:41:12

Cater for a younger market,

0:41:140:41:16

stick a telly on the wall, open later. That kind of thing.

0:41:160:41:19

And if the punter numbers doubled, or tripled, could you cope?

0:41:190:41:23

Aye, well, we'd need to expand, wouldn't we?

0:41:230:41:26

Put tables through the back and convert the basement for toilets and storage.

0:41:270:41:32

Given this a lot of thought, haven't you?

0:41:320:41:33

I think you should just give me it, out of the goodness of your heart.

0:41:330:41:37

Aye, well, I'm not going to be doing that,

0:41:370:41:39

but I'm not going to be selling it either.

0:41:390:41:41

Really? Absolutely.

0:41:410:41:43

I'm staying...you're staying.

0:41:430:41:47

Thank God for that.

0:41:470:41:49

Look, I'm sorry if you were worried about your job.

0:41:490:41:51

It's your business, your choice.

0:41:510:41:53

That doesn't seem fair though, does it?

0:41:550:41:57

Look, if you can't get a loan,

0:41:570:41:59

why don't you try saving?

0:41:590:42:01

In 18 months or two years from now...

0:42:010:42:03

I'd never manage to get enough to buy you out.

0:42:030:42:06

No, you could get enough for a stake - 5%, 10 maybe?

0:42:060:42:10

What, seriously?

0:42:100:42:13

Mm-hmm.

0:42:130:42:15

Thank you for getting back to me, I know how busy you guys are.

0:42:150:42:19

Right...

0:42:210:42:22

When you say an assessment list...?

0:42:230:42:25

Well, I'll just... I'll just wait to hear from you whenever there's...

0:42:260:42:29

Whenever.

0:42:320:42:33

Right, bye.

0:42:340:42:35

I'm sorry for abandoning you. You didn't.

0:42:370:42:39

I can't even stay long now, I want to get back to my dad and Liz.

0:42:390:42:43

Are they OK?

0:42:430:42:44

Yeah. That was just social work getting back to me.

0:42:440:42:47

We're going to have to wait a few weeks for an assessment.

0:42:470:42:50

Apparently, we're not a crisis. Eileen...

0:42:500:42:53

why don't you take a wee seat and I'll make you a cup of tea?

0:42:530:42:56

I think if I sit down I'm not going to want to get back up again.

0:42:560:42:58

I don't know what to do!

0:43:000:43:02

Liz looks terrible. She looks terrible.

0:43:020:43:05

And my dad's not even having one of his worst days

0:43:050:43:07

and he just needs so much help.

0:43:070:43:09

It's OK. It's OK to be scared. Is it?

0:43:090:43:13

Good, cos I am.

0:43:140:43:16

You've got me, you know...

0:43:160:43:18

and Raymond, and my ma.

0:43:180:43:21

Loads of people round here care.

0:43:210:43:24

Eileen, whatever you need to go through,

0:43:240:43:26

you don't need to do it on your own. Thank you.

0:43:260:43:30

Pleasure.

0:43:310:43:32

So can I get that tea for you?

0:43:340:43:37

Don't re-boil the kettle, squeeze the tea bag,

0:43:370:43:40

pour the milk, don't splash it. Are you saying I'm a fussy cow?

0:43:400:43:43

As if I would.

0:43:430:43:45

It's just how my dad taught me.

0:43:450:43:47

Actually, I'm going nip out. Sorry.

0:43:570:44:02

What do you think?

0:44:300:44:31

It's great. Loads of space. Yeah.

0:44:310:44:34

That wee room would be perfect for Ollie if he ever came to stay.

0:44:340:44:37

Yeah, we had it done up for Stuart.

0:44:370:44:39

Perfect.

0:44:400:44:42

Are you sure about this, Eileen?

0:44:430:44:44

It's the best thing for everyone concerned.

0:44:460:44:48

Even you?

0:44:480:44:49

I could provide a referral.

0:44:520:44:54

Might speed things up with social services. Thank you.

0:44:540:44:57

You're perfectly placed for the surgery here. Absolutely.

0:44:580:45:01

In fact, between you and me,

0:45:030:45:05

I'm thinking about making it a more permanent arrangement over there.

0:45:050:45:07

I've been speaking to Miriam about buying the practice.

0:45:070:45:10

Dan, that's fantastic.

0:45:100:45:11

Yeah, but not a word of it until it's a done deal?

0:45:110:45:14

Apparently there's some hold up with the council over the lease.

0:45:140:45:17

I don't know why.

0:45:170:45:19

Maybe you can speak to your pal Frank Paton. Yeah, I will, I'll do that.

0:45:190:45:22

I am going to like it here.

0:45:240:45:26

Exciting times.

0:45:290:45:30

Right, you, get your jacket, you've pulled.

0:45:360:45:40

What?

0:45:400:45:41

I'm taking you out. Pizza, pictures, the bowling, whatever you want.

0:45:410:45:45

Stevie, I cannae. How not?

0:45:450:45:48

You're meant to finish ten minutes ago and thanks to

0:45:480:45:50

some rota manipulation, I've just got the night off.

0:45:500:45:53

I'm sorry, I should've phoned you.

0:45:530:45:55

You've went to all this trouble. What you on about,

0:45:550:45:57

it's no trouble. I just thought since you needed cheering up...

0:45:570:46:00

I know. Well, I don't any more.

0:46:000:46:03

Alex isn't selling.

0:46:040:46:06

That's brilliant news. I know! You get to keep your job.

0:46:070:46:09

Oh, it's better than that. How do you mean?

0:46:090:46:12

Away you go home while I phone these dafties, all right?

0:46:120:46:15

I'll let you know when I get in.

0:46:150:46:17

Hiya. Oh, hello.

0:46:300:46:33

Ah! Ah I've missed it.

0:46:330:46:37

Never mind, we'll be able to watch it together tomorrow.

0:46:390:46:42

Yeah?

0:46:420:46:43

Me and Stuart are going to come and live here.

0:46:460:46:49

Do you mean that? If you'll have us.

0:46:530:46:56

Of course we will but are you sure that's what you want?

0:46:560:47:00

Yeah, this is my home, Dad, it's where I was brought up,

0:47:000:47:03

and I can't think of anywhere better for my own wee boy.

0:47:030:47:07

I turned out all right, didn't I?

0:47:070:47:10

You did that, my darlin'.

0:47:100:47:11

Dan's going to take over Gina's flat so he'll have his own place

0:47:110:47:15

and she won't be out of pocket.

0:47:150:47:17

You've got it all worked out, haven't you?

0:47:170:47:20

You're not the only person that likes having things organised, Liz.

0:47:200:47:24

Oh, thank you, Eileen.

0:47:240:47:29

You'll be a great help to Dad and me.

0:47:290:47:32

Well, I'm just after a couple of free baby-sitters.

0:47:320:47:36

This is a good, kind, decent thing that you are doing.

0:47:360:47:43

Well, it's the way I was brought up.

0:47:430:47:46

Right, see you soon.

0:47:490:47:51

I think it's very good of you, Eileen.

0:48:060:48:09

Mind you, I know my Scarlett would do the same for me.

0:48:090:48:12

Oh, definitely.

0:48:120:48:13

Mind you, you don't how long it's going to be for, don't you not?

0:48:130:48:17

I mean, poor Malcolm's not going to live for ever, eh?

0:48:170:48:20

And you're not going to last five more minutes

0:48:200:48:22

if you don't watch how you talk to folk!

0:48:220:48:24

It's OK, Scarlett, really.

0:48:240:48:26

No, Molly, he's not going to live for ever,

0:48:260:48:28

that's why I want to spend time with him when I've got the chance.

0:48:280:48:31

I think it's marvellous what you're doing, Eileen.

0:48:310:48:33

Looking after two sick pensioners and a wean?

0:48:330:48:37

And no spring chicken yourself, no offence.

0:48:370:48:40

None taken. And your man-eating days are behind you, right enough.

0:48:400:48:43

Will you shut it? Is a person not allowed an opinion round here?

0:48:430:48:46

Just ignore her, Eileen. I'm way ahead of you, Scarlett.

0:48:460:48:50

Right...

0:48:510:48:52

Eh, I want a tin of beans, the ones with they mad sausages in them?

0:48:520:48:56

Over there, bottom shelf.

0:48:560:48:58

Stella was never much use in the kitchen.

0:48:580:49:01

What're you on about?

0:49:010:49:03

She's a brilliant cook, she's just working late, that's all.

0:49:030:49:05

Are they going to be implementing my suggestion forthwith?

0:49:050:49:10

What? Freebies for pensioners, she means.

0:49:100:49:13

I don't know. He was going to sell it off this time yesterday.

0:49:130:49:16

Who was, Alex?

0:49:160:49:18

Aye. Oh, but don't panic, he's changed his mind. Aren't we lucky?

0:49:180:49:22

See folk like him, they think they can do what they want.

0:49:220:49:25

Yeah, they do, don't they?

0:49:250:49:27

There's your change, Eileen.

0:49:280:49:29

HE PLAYS "Someone To Watch Over Me"

0:49:490:49:55

PIANO CONTINUES

0:50:400:50:43

PIANO CONTINUES

0:51:530:51:56

PIANO CONTINUES

0:52:320:52:37

Eileen.

0:53:240:53:25

Do we have an appointment? I do. Just not with you.

0:53:280:53:32

Give us a wee minute?

0:53:330:53:34

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the attitude.

0:53:340:53:37

I suppose it must come as a bit of a shock

0:53:370:53:39

after how hard you worked getting me onside.

0:53:390:53:41

All I've done the last 48 hours is treat you with respect and courtesy.

0:53:410:53:44

Like an equal.

0:53:440:53:46

Like a fellow political animal, like somebody that knows the score.

0:53:460:53:49

Because I thought you did. No, because it's what I wanted to hear.

0:53:490:53:53

Just like Kelly-Marie wants to dream about a better place to live

0:53:530:53:56

and Scarlett wants to know her job is secure.

0:53:560:53:58

You are a used car salesman.

0:53:580:54:00

Let's not start trading insults, please.

0:54:000:54:02

Don't worry, I've been calling myself much worse ever since I found out what's going on.

0:54:020:54:06

Why don't you tell me exactly what you think is going on?

0:54:060:54:09

I don't know.

0:54:090:54:10

Not exactly.

0:54:110:54:13

But I got a tip off last night about the compulsory purchase order

0:54:130:54:17

for the Shieldinch Health Centre.

0:54:170:54:19

It's going to be sold off, isn't it?

0:54:190:54:21

So are the patients going to just get absorbed like the groups from the community centre?

0:54:210:54:25

Potentially.

0:54:250:54:26

And are you going to lay on another shuttle bus for the sick folk?

0:54:260:54:29

If that's what it takes.

0:54:290:54:31

And the people in your shiny new apartments they're not going to get ill, are they?

0:54:320:54:35

Look, Eileen, there are only two choices here - progress or decay.

0:54:350:54:39

The people in those shiny new apartments demand a certain standard

0:54:390:54:42

and the people you represent will benefit from that too, ultimately.

0:54:420:54:45

My friends and my family deserve better

0:54:450:54:48

than the crumbs off someone else's table.

0:54:480:54:50

You'll have to excuse me.

0:54:500:54:52

Eileen?

0:54:520:54:53

Eileen!

0:54:550:54:57

I don't have much time.

0:55:000:55:02

I'm due at the transport and travel sub committee.

0:55:020:55:05

Transport and travel?

0:55:060:55:07

They've got a vacancy. Well, not for long.

0:55:070:55:10

So you can be a nuisance to the regeneration project? A nuisance?

0:55:110:55:15

My new colleagues will be interested to know that's how we're viewed by senior officials.

0:55:150:55:19

Look, I know you're worried about your father.

0:55:190:55:21

If you like, I could have a word with social services.

0:55:210:55:24

Thank you, but I've already spoken to the relevant agencies.

0:55:240:55:29

A word from me might be more effective.

0:55:290:55:31

Actually, I think you trying to exploit my father's illness

0:55:310:55:35

makes you despicable.

0:55:350:55:37

This thing is going to go through

0:55:370:55:39

and, if you're not part of it, where does that leave your career?

0:55:390:55:42

The people on your side will think you failed them,

0:55:420:55:44

everyone else will think you've been too short-sighted to see the potential.

0:55:440:55:48

I think you've got a lot more to offer.

0:55:490:55:51

A lot more...given the right circumstances.

0:55:510:55:54

I'll see you around.

0:55:570:55:59

Yes, you will.

0:55:590:56:01

We're good or we're bad?

0:56:410:56:43

Good!

0:56:430:56:44

I keep thinking about Mandy Kennedy.

0:56:440:56:46

Don't. I can't help it.

0:56:460:56:48

Let's get out of here.

0:56:480:56:50

Maybe the trick is just to let things happen.

0:56:500:56:53

Be careful.

0:56:530:56:54

Well, this was a brutal attack, so I'll take anything you've got.

0:56:540:56:58

I know how brutal it was, I was in the ambulance with Samuel.

0:56:580:57:00

Look, I need to be getting back,

0:57:000:57:02

I've got other clients that I need to see back at the house.

0:57:020:57:05

I'll give you a lift. I'll need to speak to everyone there anyway.

0:57:050:57:08

They don't trust the police.

0:57:080:57:10

This is Peter Roberts, sorry we're late.

0:57:100:57:12

Petey, how long have you been here?

0:57:120:57:15

He's been attacked twice since he's been in here,

0:57:150:57:17

what sort of place is this?

0:57:170:57:19

The kind of place people like you don't notice, PC Cooper,

0:57:190:57:22

until you get a personal interest.
