I need dirt on someone. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
-Who are you after? -Eileen Donachie. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Do you really think this development is such a bad idea? | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
I'm not backing down. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
If you're fine everybody knowing Raymond's a murderer | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
and you're an accessory. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
You said this project was going to be a disaster. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
That it was going to cause chaos. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
-Well, I've changed my mind. -Why? | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
So Frank wants to use his own guys on the ground report. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
-It's no big deal. -It's my responsibility. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
We can't do it without him, so we need to keep him sweet. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR Come in. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Eric Turnbull. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Let me know what you think. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
Do you always hand deliver? | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Only when it's important. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
As I said, let me know. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
DOOR CLOSES | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
I'm outside. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
No, outside your house. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Oh, aye. Very good, Romeo. What are you after? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
What do you mean? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Flashing the cash. Are they not a bit showy? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
A bit better than the last ones, eh? | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Could you not have brought something useful like milk? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Who says they're for you? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
If you give them to anybody else, you're in big trouble. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
They're called bird of paradise, reminded me of you. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
Is that the best line you've got, aye? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
Pretty much. Will I bring them up? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Aye, well, what's plan B? Are you going to chuck them up? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
Thank you. These are lovely. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
I'll tell you what, you're learning. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Look, I really enjoyed your company. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
I'd like to see you again. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
I was wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner, tomorrow night? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
I'd like very much. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Good. I'm glad. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
OK then. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Has everything settled down, after the court case? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
Aye, it's good to see my mum and Jimmy back together again - | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-it feels right. -Good. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Right, well, I'd better put these in some water. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
I'll be off. Busy day and that. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
MOBILE PHONE RINGS | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
Alan, how's it going? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
No, I'm at the Oyster, how? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
The ground report? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
OK, see you in a sec. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Eric Turnbull? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
Is that not Frank's guy? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
That's him. Delivered it himself, this morning. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
Really? Why? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
Because he knows what the results could mean. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
This isn't like the renovations we've done, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
there are other procedures. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
Such as? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
That - having a ground investigation report done. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-And? -And they've found high levels of chromium in the plot. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
What does chromium do? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
It's toxic. It's very bad news. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
Magic, additional expense. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:13 | |
Worst case scenario? Project's over, no development, no flats. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
We've not even started. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
I haven't had time to go into it properly. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
I wanted you to know before your meeting with Frank this afternoon. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
He's had the report? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
No, that's the only one, for me to countersign. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-When are you meeting him? -Soon. I better head. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Cheers for heads-up. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
I've used Eric a lot, put plenty business his way. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
He knows the significance of the levels. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-For ground remediation costs? -And more. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
You're legally bound to declare the findings in the report, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
before you start work. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Not a problem, there's a meeting tonight. We can tell them there. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
That's not a good idea. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Keep this one close to your chest at the moment. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
-What exactly are these risks? -Perceived risks, totally unproven. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
But? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
There are those that would argue a tenuous link between certain | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
types of chromium and cancer. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-I don't believe this. -Calm down, Alex, it's fine. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
Sit down. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
I'll explain. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
Back in '91, there was a blip in the cancer rates, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
near where a chromium factory had been. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Obviously, for someone trying to make a name for themselves, | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
there had to be a link. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
So, even though chromium exposure in the local area | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
was below everyday levels, an independent study was called for. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
-A bit OTT? -Precisely. Scaremongering's more to the point. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
There was no evidence of a possible relationship between chromium | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
in the soil and cancer. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
If there's no concrete evidence, that's a good thing, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
we've nothing to hide. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
I'll get you a new report. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
It's all about perception. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:33 | |
If people even think that site is dangerous, they won't buy the flats. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
It would jeopardise the whole Lowtherhill development. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
I'll lose face and favour. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
Yourself and Alan could lose everything, not just this job. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
We need another day before the meeting. Can you arrange that? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
Shouldn't be a problem. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
Good. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
Where are you? We need to meet. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Eric. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Frank. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
I thought first reports are for my eyes only. No third parties. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
I assumed everyone along the riverside was on board. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
-I assumed the report would be clean. -It can be. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
Those levels needn't be a problem, you know that. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-It's a question of size. -Size? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Shieldinch is part of the biggest land deal you've overseen. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-Loads of money to be made. More than usual for some. -And? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
I want more than usual to apply to me. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-How much? -Twice the amount, into the same account, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
and you'll have the clean report tomorrow morning. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
You've got a brass neck, Eric. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
You've got chromium. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:20 | |
Just make sure I get that report. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
You will. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:25 | |
A report was commissioned. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
It didn't provide any concrete evidence of a link | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
between chromium and cancer. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
So why have safety levels, if it's safe? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
You tell me. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-So the ground's fine? -Aye. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-But it isn't? -It is. Ignore that, it's gone. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
We'll have a new report tomorrow. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
-Are you serious? -Same guy, different figures. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
And you expect me to sign it? Forget it. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
It's my reputation we're talking about. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
Don't pull that one, Alan. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
It's guys like me that'll get dumped on when it all goes pear-shaped. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
You're asking me to build on toxic ground. I live here. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
-It's not toxic. -It is! | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
Listen, the report needs to be done, we need to disclose it. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:28 | |
Even the suggestion of a connection would scare investors - | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
jeopardise the entire development. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
It has to say the right thing. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
You're always saying there are ways around anything. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Not around perception. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
Perception? What about the truth? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
No, I can't do it. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
And the Alex I know wouldn't ask me to. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
Look, will you just trust me on this one? | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
I know what we're getting into. I trust Frank. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
His guidance and assurance are what we need. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
We're going to need to delay the meeting. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
Will you tell Murray Crozier? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
I suppose so. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:22 | |
DOOR CLOSES | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
All right for some. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
You don't mind, do you? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
We don't have a vase in the house. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:45 | |
Shows you how often Jimmy buys flowers. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
No, not at all, they brighten the place up. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
Hello, Councillor Donachie's office, how can I help you? | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
Oh, hello, you. I didn't recognise you there - | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
must be your telephone voice. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
Yes, I can take a message... | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Postponed until tomorrow night. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
Does that mean I'm being rescheduled? | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
Well, that didn't take long, did it? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Tonight? What time? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
OK. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:25 | |
I'll need to check my mum can babysit, but I'm sure it'll be fine. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
OK, see you then. Bye. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
So, was that for me or for you? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Both. That was Alex, Alex McAllister. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Really? So he's the lucky man? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Yep, he sure is. The big meeting's been postponed to tomorrow night. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:50 | |
-Did he say why? -Documentation issues. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
He says he hopes you can still make it | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
and he's sorry for any inconvenience caused. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
That was nice of him. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
Aye, and they say business is ruthless. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
So, how far along are things with Alex? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
How far along? You make it sound like a pregnancy. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
-You're not are you? -No, I am not. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
-I was going to say. -What does that mean? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Nothing, nothing, wrong choice of words, I just mean I was surprised. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
Surprised? What that somebody would want to see me? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Wee Kelly-Marie who answers the phones? | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
No. I think, we should stop there, eh? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
-Happy to. My private life is mine. -OK, agreed. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
So they've asked me to tell you, the meeting's been postponed, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
until tomorrow. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:41 | |
One day? Why? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
Delay on a ground report. Just one of these things. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
One of these things? That's it? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-Aye. -Which ground report? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:51 | |
-I'm not sure. -You're the builder and you're not sure? I don't think so. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
It's better to delay and give you the full picture, surely? | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
The full picture? From you lot? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
-It's just a change of a few notices? It won't take long. -Yeah, right. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Cos I've got nothing better to do, have I? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
You know it's a wonder I get paid really. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
The meeting's been postponed. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
-Yes, I know. -How? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
-They phoned to tell me. -Yeah, but did they say why? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
Documentation, some kind of delay. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-What do you know about ground reports? -I'm not a builder, | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
I don't know about ground reports or anything like that. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
This stinks, it's a cover-up. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
Murray... | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
do what I'd do, and go and find out for yourself. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
Because I don't have time to listen to | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
any more of your conspiracy theories. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
You let me down badly, Eileen. Now, I don't know why you | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
changed your mind, but you still represent us all. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
Yes, I represent the best interests of Shieldinch. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
And you think student flats is what we need? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
-Yes, I do. -I don't believe you. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
Well, that's how it is. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
You're here to listen and advise, Councillor. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
I'm sorry, but you're on you own with this one. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
Well, you've lost MY vote. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
I'm going to make damn sure there's difficult questions | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
-asked at this meeting. -Well, that's what the meeting's for. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
It wouldn't be right if everything | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
went through uncontested now, would it? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
I'm busy. You need to leave. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
That was a bit full-on, was it not? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
He's just scared for his job. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
All right? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
No. Just been chased by your ex. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
Have you been annoying her again? | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
No, I went to see my local councillor! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
She wouldn't listen to a word I said. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
She's tired, Murray, and she's carrying a heavy workload just now. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
-You need to cut her some slack. -Think what you like. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
I am fighting for the future of this community. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
What? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Kelly-Marie, don't take this the wrong way... | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
What you said before, | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
-about your private life being none of my business? -Uh-huh. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
-Well, it could be. -How? | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Alex is involved in a potential major development in Shieldinch. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
-Potential? -See, that's exactly what I mean. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Eileen, you're going to have to help me out here. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
-You're already picking up on his interests. -Meaning? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
I'll be straight with you and I don't like asking, | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
but can I trust that you'll be honest | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
and discreet about anything that happens in this office? | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
There won't be any more wee slips of the tongue, like with the scrubland? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-SHE GASPS -I can't believe you're bringing that up again. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
But you do see where I'm coming from? Think about it. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
Think about what?! | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
Do you don't think this is an awful coincidence? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
Eileen, you're really going to have to spell this out for me here. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
The flowers, the dinner date, the postponed meeting, | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
-all on the same day. -All right, so here we go again. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Alex couldn't be interested in somebody like me, is that it? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
I'm just... I'm extrapolating. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
He could be using you to get information out of this office. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
Eileen, look around you. It's not Watergate. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
You're hardly the hub of operations. What is there to spy on? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
But you see what I'm saying? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:57 | |
-SHE SCOFFS -Do you know what? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
I've had enough of this. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-Here you go, Malcolm. -Aw, thanks, Raymond. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
Wee soul's shattered. What have you done to him, Raymond? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
He's had a great day, we've been all over Glasgow. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Sounds great. I'd like to go up to the town sometime. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
Take Liz for an afternoon tea. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
-We'll make a date, we can all go. -Oh! That would be great, Raymond. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
-Where's Stuart? -What happened to hello? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Hello, everybody. Where's Stuart? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
-He's SOUND asleep. -At five o'clock?! | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
He's had a great time. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Raymond, I've told you, I don't want him getting spoiled. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
I can spoil my own son. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-For you. -What are you up to? | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
Eileen! | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
-I'm trying to be nice. -I've a lot on my plate right now. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
Haven't we all?! But we're not RUDE! | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Cheers. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:19 | |
-Now, remember, you two, let's make a date. -Aw, yeah! | 0:20:20 | 0:20:26 | |
SHAME on you. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
I'm going to go and see to Stuart. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
SHE TUTS | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Can't be easy being a councillor. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Forgive me, Malcolm, but it's Eileen, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
she is not easy. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
NEVER was. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Never mind, we'll have a great day, in town. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
Aye, aye, we will. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
So I bought Eileen a gift. Just a wee gift. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
What do you think she said? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
"What are you after?" | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Close. "What are you up to?" | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
Welcome to my world. That's sort of thing happens all the time. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
She casts a cloud, that one. Blows hot and cold. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-Wee second, Murray. Same again? -Let me guess, Eileen? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
She's certainly not up for doing her job these days. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
How do you mean? | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Well, she's left us all high and dry, | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
she betrayed us with that U-turn on the flats. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
Her duty should be to the whole community. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
She's carrying a lot. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
We don't know the bigger picture - the pressures. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
It can't be easy, trying to keep everyone happy. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
-So she's excused? -She's reason to be. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
Must be easy to be so forgiving, when your livelihood's secure. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
Listen, Murray, maybe if you thought about other | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
people BEFORE yourself, you might improve your own outlook. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
I AM thinking of other people. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
You want a drink? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
I've changed my mind. I've got to get back. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
-CARTOONS PLAY ON TV -Will I do? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Oh, darling, you look lovely. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-You're not just saying it? -Would I do that? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Probably. Have you seen my purse? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
You'll not be needing your purse, he's loaded. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
-Ma! -Well he is! | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
-Aye, but I'm not a gold-digger! -Cool your jets. Are you nervous? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
Nah, not really. But I have got the flutters. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-Aw. High hopes? -Aye. -DOORBELL RINGS | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
Right, you! Come here! You be good tonight, OK? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
Listen, you make a night of it. Don't come back early. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
I'll get Cal ready for school tomorrow, don't worry. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
-Just have a good time. -Thanks, Ma. Don't wait up. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
You're joking! Those days are over. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
-Bye. -Bye, darlin'. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
Looked lovely, didn't she? | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
Do you want to have a drink first? | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Aye. I can't remember the last time I was out like this, properly. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
It's great. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
-What you looking at? -Potential. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
I like it. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
It could be so much more. I've got my eye on the place. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
Oh, right, so not only was I rescheduled, | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
I'm now acting guinea pig for your wee scouting trip. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
Hey, a free dinner's a free dinner, don't knock it. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
Right go on, then, what would you change? | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
The whole place. Put private parking underground, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
move the bar, a VIP bistro on that level, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
some private dining areas, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
boutique rooms up above. Revamp everything, designs, menus, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
materials, fixtures, fittings, staff uniforms, the whole shebang. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
-You're kidding? -No, I'm not. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
It's what I'm good at, making the old new. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
Regenerate, rejuvenate, reap the rewards. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
Is that what you're doing in Shieldinch? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
It needs it, don't you think? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
New build, new people, new business. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
Busy bars and shops, a footbridge over the river, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Shieldinch as a destination. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Aye, sounds great. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
How did you know I'd be here? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
Tracked you down. I know you've got your eye on the place. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
That's on me. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
That thing we spoke about, it's all sorted. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
I'll get it to you in the morning. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Enjoy your meal. Food's good here. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
That was a bit swanky. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
He does things his own way, I'll give him that. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
Shieldinch is never going to be the same. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
There's a long way to go though. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
Tough decisions, compromises, strained working relationships. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
I know all about them. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Building's different. Let someone down, your name's mud. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
-I WILL make it happen. -I don't doubt it. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
That means a lot. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
-Right, OK, no more work. Let's enjoy ourselves. -Exactly. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
Thanks for coming over, Dan. What do you know about chromium? | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
The shiny stuff on bikes? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
No. That's what I thought. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Apparently it's toxic when found in soil? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
Is this about the development? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
They need permissions to build. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
They need to show the public the ground reports. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
They postponed the meeting. Don't you think that's strange? | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
Bearing in mind these meetings are usually PR pushes, | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
all glad-handing and back-slapping, I think they haven't got, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
or they don't want to show something... | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
-Problematic? -Exactly, something serious. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
-And this is the report? -No. Information, loads of it. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
But it could be what's causing the delay. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
I'm not the one to make sense of it. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Where did you get it? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
Internet, readily available. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
I think you should bring it up at the meeting. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
-Why me? -Public health, you're a doctor, people will listen to you. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
Would you have a look through it, and have a word with Eileen? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
-She's giving me the brush off. -OK. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
-So it ended up being a mullet. -THEY LAUGH | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
It did! It was terrible! | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
Do you know my two favourite things about you. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
-What? -Your eyes. -Oh! | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
I don't remember ordering the cheese board. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
-THEY LAUGH -Do you know why you're seeing me? | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
Em, because I like you? | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
Wrong, to get inside information from Eileen's office. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
And risk getting slapped again? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
Aye. I'd forgotten about that. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
I haven't. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
-Here you are, Sir. -That's lovely, thank you. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
Are you trying to get me drunk? | 0:28:21 | 0:28:22 | |
No. Agreeable. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
Oh, really? | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
Agreeable to what exactly? | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
-I'm sure we'll think of something. -Well, we have got all night. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
Besides, can't let Frank buy all the drink for my date, can I? | 0:28:36 | 0:28:40 | |
Well, you don't need to spend your money to impress me, | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
like those mad flowers this morning. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
Really? So I should have saved myself a couple of quid? | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
Aye, you could have. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
That's not to say I don't enjoy the finer things life. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
Good, cos the best things in life are free. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
-Isn't that what they say? -Aye. We'll see. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
-SHE GASPS -Wow! | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
This is nice, really nice! | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
-Don't sound so surprised. -Oh, I didn't mean... | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
I'm joking. Gimme your coat. I'll hang it up. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:18 | |
-Oh, sorry. -Don't be daft. You checking I'd done the dusting? | 0:29:40 | 0:29:44 | |
Aye, that'll be right. Guys like you, probably got a cleaner. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
Pretty and Polish, probably. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
Not Polish, and he's not pretty. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
I take it this is Jessica? | 0:29:54 | 0:29:56 | |
Aye. Aye, when she was nine. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
-What age is she now? -She's 14. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
-Do you see her much? -Not as much as I'd like. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
She's got her studies, I've got my work, it's difficult to co-ordinate. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
Well, she's really pretty. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
Well, she doesn't take her looks off me. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
I wouldn't say that. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:15 | |
Are you OK? | 0:30:26 | 0:30:27 | |
Absolutely. Things aren't moving too fast for you? | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
-No. -Cos I'd understand, if you want to take it easy. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
I could still take you home. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:34 | |
I don't want to go home. This feels right. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
-If you're sure? -Aye. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
-Should I stop talking? -Aye that would help? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
-Hey. -Oh! You're up? I was going to bring you this in bed. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:05 | |
-Alex, you shouldn't have. -You can't leave without your breakfast. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
-At least have some coffee. -OK. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
Thanks. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
-This is really lovely. -So how are you feeling? | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
-A wee bit naughty. -I meant your head, after the champagne. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:34 | |
Oh, right, well, it's been that long since I've actually stayed out. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
What, without telling your mum? | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
Aye, I know. It's ridiculous, I'm a grown woman too. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
But it was worth it... | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
All of it. I had a REALLY lovely time, so thank you. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:56 | |
Me too. I didn't expect it, if you know what I mean. | 0:31:56 | 0:32:00 | |
Neither did I, or I'd have brought a change of clothes. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
Anyway. So, is this what it's going to look like in real life? | 0:32:07 | 0:32:13 | |
Pretty much. What do you think? | 0:32:13 | 0:32:17 | |
Looks like somewhere I can't afford to live. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
-Hey, hard work, you never know. -As if. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:25 | |
Talking of work I should really head, could I get my coat. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
-Aye. -Thanks. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:29 | |
Mmm. That one. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
HE RINGS THE BELL | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
Raymond? | 0:33:06 | 0:33:07 | |
I know, the last person you expected to see after yesterday's charm-fest. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
I'm sorry about that. I was short with you, and ungrateful. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:18 | |
Right, you apologising only convinces me that there | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
IS something wrong. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
-What's going on? -What do you mean? | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
You're not yourself, even Murray said so. It's why I'm here. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
Ah! As long as you two agree. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
I chased him because he was annoying me with his protest. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
-He's probably still brooding. -See, that's it. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
It's since you backtracked on the development, isn't it? | 0:33:34 | 0:33:38 | |
Towing the party line makes you unhappy, Eileen, | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
-it always has. -Stop. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
-Eileen, it's me. -Can you just butt out?! | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
What? | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
-You need to step back. -From what? -Me. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
I don't need help, I can sort this. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
Sort what? Are you going to tell me what's wrong?! | 0:33:58 | 0:34:00 | |
It's work, it's home, it's everything, but I'll deal with it. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:04 | |
Now, if that's all, I need to finish getting ready. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
RADIO PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
FRONT DOOR CLOSES | 0:34:20 | 0:34:21 | |
-Morning. -Morning. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
-You dirty stop out. -Shut it, you. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
-Any tea? -Right, I'm away. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:41 | |
-See you. -See you later, darlin'. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
-What? -Good night? -Really good. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
-Get much sleep? -Some, aye. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
That's a good sized yard you've got there, Alan. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:48 | |
-Should see you well into the future. -That's the plan. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:52 | |
Good for you. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
-I love it when a plan comes together. -Really? | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
Makes all the hard work and tough decisions worthwhile. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
You can look around and feel vindicated, justified. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:05 | |
Here. Can I have the original? | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
Good. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
I'd hate to see you lose all this, before we even get going. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
It doesn't matter what that report says if we know the ground is toxic. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:32 | |
But it's not. Did Alex not explain that? | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
Safe levels are plucked from the air. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
With this, there is no remediation necessary. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
-I can't ignore the original report. -I know others that will. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:45 | |
Before long, they've taken over this yard. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
No villas in Spain, fancy cars, | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
no day to day help with the kids, no luxuries. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:59 | |
It's a shame. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:00 | |
I respect your misgivings. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
But in this circumstance, I think they're misplaced. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
It's a case of bend or snap, Alan. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
This development will go ahead, with or without you. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
Work with me. I like you. I like Alex. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:22 | |
I can see a future here. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:25 | |
That's where we are. Just waiting on one final piece of documentation, | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
which we're expecting today, and we're ready to break ground. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
-Break ground? -Get to work. Start building. -Sounds good. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
Better than good. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
If this comes off we're all in for a tidy wee nest-egg. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
TEXT MESSAGE BEEPS | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
This might be the news we're waiting on. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
-Is it? -It looks that way. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
Right guys, I'm going to have to shoot, I'll see you later. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
Listen we'll be there, don't worry about that. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
-And thanks for the catch up, it's much appreciated. -Pleasure, lads. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
-I didn't like it when he said, "if". -Jumped out at me as well. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:20 | |
-I'm banking on this. -You and me both. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
What's up? | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
-Your pal, Frank just paid me a visit. -Social? | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
Far from it. It was a threat, kowtow or lose it all. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:47 | |
-He brought the new report. -I don't understand. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:53 | |
Why he came to see me and not you? | 0:38:53 | 0:38:55 | |
-Aye, I'm in charge. -Isn't it obvious? | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
-I'm the one he needs to scare. -I'm still the one he needs to see. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
-All right? -Hiya. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
Good date then, with Alex? | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
It's none of your business, why? | 0:39:28 | 0:39:33 | |
-Do you trust him? -Bob? What kind a question's that? | 0:39:34 | 0:39:38 | |
I'm a bit worried about the development. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:41 | |
He doesn't seem to be 100% certain. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:46 | |
He needs to be, for my sake, and Raymond's. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
So look, could you find out? | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
-Find out what exactly? -If my money's safe? | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
-Bob! -What?! -Are you not just the wee-est bit ashamed? | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
No, why? | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
Right, go now, back to your work. You're worse than Eileen. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
-This is my personal life. -HE SIGHS | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
-But you'll ask him? -Go, now! | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
All right! | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:40:23 | 0:40:24 | |
-We need to talk. -Certainly looks like you do. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
I won't have a long term colleague and friend threatened by you. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
-Threatened? -Your visit. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
It was a courtesy, I was taking round the report. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:41 | |
If he felt threatened, maybe he's not strong enough. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
I'll handle Alan. Don't go near him again. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
Agreed. If it's that important. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
It is. He's MY concern. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
And here's my concern, and why we need to bring Alan in line. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
Screw up, you'll be ridiculed then ruined. Nobody wants that. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:03 | |
Shieldinch is a beginning. We're looking for future partners. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
People won't appreciate integrity if it costs them money. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
Every project along that path is linked. One fails they all fail. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:16 | |
An iconic riverside walkway will never come to be. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:21 | |
Also, failure condemns Shieldinch to slum status. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:26 | |
And when my land was worthless, | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
you would compulsory purchase, and re-sell, to an "associate", | 0:41:28 | 0:41:31 | |
-for well below market value? -An option, yeah. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:35 | |
But too long term. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
The new report has saved | 0:41:41 | 0:41:42 | |
1.5 million in remediation costs, clearing the way for us | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
to proceed, with or without Alan. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
-Can you spare a minute? -Is it about the flats? | 0:42:05 | 0:42:08 | |
It's important. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:10 | |
Before we go any further, you need to understand, | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
that I am backing the development from the podium tonight. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
You made that clear at the last meeting. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
-This might change your mind though. -Dan, I respect you, | 0:42:20 | 0:42:23 | |
and that's why I'm willing to listen to what you have to say. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:25 | |
I appreciate your time. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
This is some research that Murray pulled up. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:32 | |
He was looking into ground reports and came across some other stuff, | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
of which I think this was the more pertinent. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
They're studies investigating reported links between cancer | 0:42:39 | 0:42:42 | |
and chromium deposits in the ground. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
So how does this relate to the flats? | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
Because of its proximity to the river and history of industry, | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
Shieldinch boat yard, and a lot of local land, | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
is affected to some degree. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
This ground report is a permission they haven't made public yet. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
And they postponed the meeting at short notice. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
-Meaning? -Coincidence? Should I be worried? | 0:43:02 | 0:43:06 | |
-You're directly involved, I thought you'd know? -I don't, I'm afraid. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
You should read them. I've highlighted the key points. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
-Could you leave it with me? -Of course. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:19 | |
I'm sure that once you see the potential risks to health, | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
you'll withdraw your support for this development? | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
I'm sure it's more complicated than it seems. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
Not from where I'm standing. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:29 | |
I'll get back to you. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:33 | |
I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:35 | |
-Hi, Dan! -All right? | 0:43:38 | 0:43:40 | |
Are you OK? You look stressed? | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
-I'm just exhausted. Let's call it a day. -Really? | 0:43:47 | 0:43:51 | |
Yeah, yeah. I've got stuff to read, | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
and I need to get my head together for this meeting tonight. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:55 | |
-OK, if you're sure. -Yeah, you go on. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:57 | |
Right, will try and get some rest. I'll see you later. | 0:43:57 | 0:44:00 | |
-You told me you'd sort this out. -I have. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:10 | |
This isn't sorted, by any means. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:12 | |
Look, will you get your head around the fact that the land is safe. | 0:44:14 | 0:44:20 | |
-Land you own. -Uh-huh. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:23 | |
But we both lose money if we don't crack on, you know that. | 0:44:23 | 0:44:26 | |
It's happening, like it or not. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:28 | |
Alex, put yourself in my place. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
This is my home, Shieldinch is a new start for me. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
OK. Well, you put yourself in my place. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:44 | |
I've been protecting you. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:46 | |
Frank's happy to move on without you. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:48 | |
But I've been fighting your corner the whole way. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
Don't let me down. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:53 | |
This makes it a viable proposition, no remediation fees, no starting | 0:44:54 | 0:45:01 | |
off in the red with toxic rumours to deal with when it comes to selling. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:05 | |
No-one gets ill and no-one loses money if we're diligent. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:10 | |
Absolutely no cutting corners as regards to health and safety. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:14 | |
Have you heard yourself? It's about doing right by people. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:19 | |
Alan, it's going to happen. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:22 | |
I don't want you to miss out. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:23 | |
Are you with me? | 0:45:27 | 0:45:29 | |
I'll see you at the centre, 6:30. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:36 | |
-Oh! -Hiya! -Hiya! | 0:45:59 | 0:46:01 | |
-I thought you were working today? -Aye, so did I. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:06 | |
-Eileen's given me the rest of the day off. -Really? | 0:46:06 | 0:46:08 | |
Aye, she seemed a wee bit frazzled. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:10 | |
Dan and Murray keep banging on about your flats. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
-Em, they're apartments. -Oh, sorry, apartments. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:15 | |
Come on. I've got some time, I'll take you for a drink. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:18 | |
Aye, that'd be nice. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:19 | |
-I'm not getting you champagne this time, though. -Aw, come on. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:24 | |
-No. -I've got a taste for it now! -THEY LAUGH | 0:46:24 | 0:46:27 | |
This is a treat, seeing you again, sunshine on a cloudy day. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:35 | |
Do you know, it's like I'm a different person, | 0:46:37 | 0:46:39 | |
as soon as I get linked with you. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:41 | |
It's just Eileen being paranoid. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:44 | |
And my brother Bob. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:45 | |
He was in earlier, annoying me about you. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
What? I'm not good enough, that kind of thing? | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
God, no, he doesn't give a monkey's about that. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:53 | |
He's worried about his investment, is his money safe? | 0:46:53 | 0:46:56 | |
As if I'd know anything about that. | 0:46:56 | 0:46:57 | |
It's fine, safe as houses, excuse the pun. Relax. | 0:46:57 | 0:47:02 | |
Right, so I can tell him not to worry then, get him off my back? | 0:47:02 | 0:47:06 | |
And tell him his worries are nothing compared to mine. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:08 | |
Have you had a tough day? | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
Not any more. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:13 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:47:13 | 0:47:15 | |
And the cheesemonger returns. | 0:47:15 | 0:47:18 | |
-HE LAUGHS -You're right though, this a treat. | 0:47:18 | 0:47:22 | |
I had a cancellation, so I thought I'd distil what we had down. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
I know what you're thinking. | 0:47:37 | 0:47:38 | |
It doesn't look like much, after all your work, just a few questions? | 0:47:38 | 0:47:41 | |
-You took the words out of my mouth. -The chromium though, it's awkward. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:45 | |
-They haven't shown us the ground report yet. -Exactly. | 0:47:45 | 0:47:49 | |
They're going to know we're vigilant, that they need to | 0:47:49 | 0:47:51 | |
do everything by the book, if this goes go ahead. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:54 | |
You think asking awkward questions can really make a difference? | 0:47:54 | 0:47:57 | |
It could. | 0:47:57 | 0:47:59 | |
-You're not convinced? -I don't know. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
It just all feels bigger than us. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
Going through all this stuff... The same names kept cropping up | 0:48:06 | 0:48:09 | |
and not just for Shieldinch, for projects all along the river. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:12 | |
Same architects, same building suppliers, Portakabins, | 0:48:12 | 0:48:15 | |
security, same everything. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:17 | |
-It's a racket. -Isn't that always the way? | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
How the contracts are divvied out could be an awkward | 0:48:21 | 0:48:24 | |
question in itself, if we had the time and the access. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:27 | |
But with so much money involved, and charlatans like McAllister, | 0:48:27 | 0:48:30 | |
what can we do, really? | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
You think they got to Eileen? That's why she changed her tune? | 0:48:32 | 0:48:37 | |
If they did, they'll get to everybody else. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:40 | |
But we can't just sit by. Nothing's a done deal, surely? | 0:48:42 | 0:48:46 | |
And if a doctor starts asking questions about public health, | 0:48:46 | 0:48:49 | |
-people will listen. -We're just the little people. | 0:48:49 | 0:48:53 | |
David brought down Goliath. Questions are our weapons. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:59 | |
The harder they come, the harder they fall and all that. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:03 | |
I like that idea. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:06 | |
-Keep up with me, Malcolm. -Go on the front. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:21 | |
No, not the front row. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
-Keep smiling, councillor, reassure me. -Of what? | 0:50:30 | 0:50:33 | |
That you are on message and fully behind this development. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:36 | |
-You know I am. -That's good to hear. Let's impress your constituents. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:41 | |
CROWD CHATTER | 0:50:48 | 0:50:51 | |
-Large whisky, please. -Do you want ice? -No. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:14 | |
There you go. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:20 | |
Another. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:26 | |
-You not supposed to be over by? -Just going. | 0:51:26 | 0:51:28 | |
They'll smell the whisky off you. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:31 | |
As long as they don't smell the fear. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:32 | |
Public speaking, gets me every time. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:37 | |
Well, get that down you, it'll sort you out. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:39 | |
Keep the change. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:48 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
Now we're all here, we can start. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
First of all, I'd like to thank Councillor Donachie | 0:52:10 | 0:52:13 | |
for the invitation to speak tonight and to Mr Crozier, | 0:52:13 | 0:52:15 | |
for making the room available and comfortable for this meeting. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
And to you, for turning out in such numbers. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:21 | |
So, first question, please? | 0:52:23 | 0:52:26 | |
All these new people, what are they going to bring to the community? | 0:52:28 | 0:52:33 | |
-Over to you, Alex. -Well, they'll eat and drink in the Tall Ship, | 0:52:35 | 0:52:40 | |
they'll shop in the Mini Market, they'll get their hair done, | 0:52:40 | 0:52:44 | |
they'll book a taxi, get their nails done, | 0:52:44 | 0:52:47 | |
buy coffees... | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
To put it simply, it'll bring business, money and life. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:54 | |
-Can I get a road to my garage? -LAUGHTER | 0:52:54 | 0:52:57 | |
So, you see, the eyesore | 0:53:08 | 0:53:12 | |
that is the boat yard will be transformed into a | 0:53:12 | 0:53:14 | |
vibrant, cared-for and energized corner of Shieldinch, a gateway, | 0:53:14 | 0:53:18 | |
a focal point of renewed pride, with a dedicated access road, landscaped | 0:53:18 | 0:53:25 | |
surrounds, tended pathways, a new footbridge, health centre and... | 0:53:25 | 0:53:30 | |
Of course... a new community centre. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:53:33 | 0:53:35 | |
What about the missing ground report? | 0:53:49 | 0:53:51 | |
Two other regeneration projects, | 0:53:53 | 0:53:55 | |
adjacent to Shieldinch, have had a problem with | 0:53:55 | 0:53:57 | |
toxic levels of chromium, necessitating extensive clean-ups. | 0:53:57 | 0:54:02 | |
This January 2000 report links chromium deposits to poor | 0:54:02 | 0:54:07 | |
general health... | 0:54:07 | 0:54:09 | |
and doesn't rule out a link to cancer. | 0:54:09 | 0:54:12 | |
THE CROWD MURMURS | 0:54:12 | 0:54:14 | |
Surely, that's a cause for genuine concern? | 0:54:15 | 0:54:18 | |
Cancer on our doorstep. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:20 | |
-I couldn't agree with you more. -So? | 0:54:36 | 0:54:38 | |
So... | 0:54:44 | 0:54:46 | |
We were delighted | 0:54:49 | 0:54:50 | |
when the ground report came back with acceptable levels of chromium. | 0:54:50 | 0:54:54 | |
The ground is safe. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:56 | |
RELIEVED GASPS | 0:54:56 | 0:54:59 | |
-Anything else? -Like what? | 0:55:04 | 0:55:07 | |
Viking coins, pirate treasure, human remains, knowing Glasgow... | 0:55:07 | 0:55:12 | |
-"There's been a murdur!" -LAUGHTER | 0:55:12 | 0:55:14 | |
I'll murder you! SHE LAUGHS | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
Here you go, boys, thanks for an enjoyable night. It went well. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:38 | |
I'd like to buy whoever shouted "murdur" a drink, | 0:55:38 | 0:55:41 | |
fair took their minds off the chromium. | 0:55:41 | 0:55:43 | |
By the way, have you got the report? | 0:55:47 | 0:55:50 | |
That's us, we're good to go. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:44 | |

And I'm ashamed of my part in it. | 0:57:19 | 0:57:21 | |

If I cooked it, you'll eat it. You little sod. | 0:57:55 | 0:57:57 | |
Forgot my phone. | 0:57:57 | 0:57:59 | |
-What are you doin'? That's mine. -Finn, I wasn't going through it. | 0:57:59 | 0:58:02 | |
-You want to see my texts as well, yeah?! -I wasn't... | 0:58:02 | 0:58:05 | |
Why not?! Everyone else does! | 0:58:05 | 0:58:07 |
