0:00:01 > 0:00:02It's OK. I can see why you're fed up there.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25You're the smart one, so you say.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I've yet to see evidence of it, myself.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Why are you not out there getting yourself a career?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33You went in...to check to see if everything was OK,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35and ended up hitting a 78-year-old man over the head.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I didn't hit anybody.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39So how come his wife found him unconscious, you standing over him?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41He fell! I was helping him.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45You brought that thief Greg into our home and he took every last penny,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49then some wee ned wanders in off the street and takes whatever's left.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Stella, I do want to change.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Then gonnae show me?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I don't want to hear it, I want to SEE it.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Otherwise we're done.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Zinnie Hassoun. Pippa Valentine.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03OK, dinner, soon.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04We thought you were dead.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07No, I was just in Shieldinch.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14MUSIC: "Pull Up To The Bumper" by Grace Jones
0:01:24 > 0:01:26# Pull up to the bumper, baby
0:01:26 > 0:01:30# In your long black limousine
0:01:32 > 0:01:36# Pull up the bumper, baby
0:01:36 > 0:01:38# Drive it in-between
0:01:41 > 0:01:43# Pull up
0:01:43 > 0:01:46# To it
0:01:46 > 0:01:48# Don't drive
0:01:48 > 0:01:50# Through it... #
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Someone's made an effort.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Who are you trying to impress?
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Wouldn't you like to know?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Well, it's nobody in here, that's for sure.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Do you know who she's meeting? No idea.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Some man of mystery, eh?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Eh, who said anything about a man?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Ooft. Looks like somebody got dropped off at the wrong pub.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13You look great.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15And you look...expensive.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16THEY LAUGH
0:02:16 > 0:02:19That dress is designer, judging by the cut. I'm impressed.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22And he's not easily impressed, believe me.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm Robbie, local fashionista and upholder of good taste.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Or at least I try to be, but it's not easy with this lot.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Nice to meet you, Robbie.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So, is this who you're meeting, then?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Right, this is Stevie. He runs the place.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Lovely to meet you. It certainly has character, Stevie.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39You better believe it.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So, are you ladies here for the evening?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Sadly, no. I'm whisking Zinnie away to some boring old West End restaurant.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49If only we'd known this place was here.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Next time, then, eh?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Well, I need another drink. Lassies...?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56What do you want to do? Have one here or just head straight off?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I'll get my coat. Aye, we might have known.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Don't let the decor put you off, it's a really friendly place.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I can see that.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Right, let's go. OK, thanks. ..Bye.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Cheerio.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16As soon as I challenged him, he admitted it was
0:03:16 > 0:03:19all about fancying me and not any suitability for the job.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21But you took it anyway?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23No, been there and got the T-shirt.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It's all offers of a drink after work,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28whining on about how his wife doesn't understand him,
0:03:28 > 0:03:29and the next thing you know,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32he's trying to get you up against the filing cabinets.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34But it was a great job.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Where I am now is great.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And I'm my own boss and not beholden to anyone.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Are you making good money?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Ever since I left uni, I've made good money.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Not many people can say that, not in this climate.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, how is life in Shieldinch?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Well, you saw for yourself. Dull.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53But you've got plans.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Oh, yeah, I'm going to get back to uni,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58get my degree and start earning some proper money, like you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01My earning power's got nothing to do with my degree.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03In fact, if I'd knew then what I know now,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I never would have gone to university.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I'd have gone straight into work. You don't mean that.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Don't get me wrong, I had four great years,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12learnt a lot about myself and the law,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16but you come out the other end with no guarantees and in massive debt.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Then it's all down to you and how you deal with it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21You started a business.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Best thing I ever did.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26You still haven't told me what it actually is...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, er, no, we didn't order that.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29I did.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Thanks.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I wanted to make a toast.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Champagne on a school night.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Oh, live a little, Zinnie.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50And anyway, we've got something to celebrate.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53To old friendships and brighter futures.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I'll drink to that.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05What's this? My business card.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07"Opulence Agency"?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10What do you sell? Luxury items?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11You could say that.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I tell people I sell dreams.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16I'm serious.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What kind of dreams?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Male ones, mostly.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Take the guy who was desperate to hire me just because he fancied me.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28The one whose wife didn't understand him?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Well, what if I could have given him exactly what he wanted
0:05:30 > 0:05:35in a safe environment, where no-one felt hurt, no-one got used -
0:05:35 > 0:05:37an environment where everyone got what they wanted?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40What could you possibly have wanted from HIM?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42At that time, the chance to earn some money.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Are you saying what I think you're saying?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Is this a brothel? No!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53It's an escort agency. Isn't that the same thing?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's a million miles away from being a brothel.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57But, your degree was...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Made no difference to me getting a job.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And I'd already worked for the agencies when I was a student.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I worked for one for eight months to pay off some debts.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07That sounds pretty sordid.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I can assure you it was never sordid.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13It was interesting and fun and it paid for my first flat
0:06:13 > 0:06:16when I was doing my law apprenticeship.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18In fact, though I didn't know it at the time,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21working for that agency WAS my real apprenticeship.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Best thing for shock's a good stiff drink.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28We have some champagne.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34THEY LAUGH
0:06:36 > 0:06:40So what did you actually have to do as an escort?
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Be smart, beautiful, careful.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Did you ever have to, like... you know...?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'm not ashamed.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57The men were there to be taken and I took them, pure and simple.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I used what I had to get what I needed.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Men do it all the time, why shouldn't we?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Oh, thanks.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Tell you what, you wouldn't have to pay me to go with him!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13You're drunk!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15We're going Dutch, right? Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Thanks.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25MACHINE BEEPS
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Oh, wait. I'll just try it again.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Don't worry. You get the next one.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32I've got this.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41How many keys does one person need?!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44They're for the Mini Market and for here.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46So, you're a key holder?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49A trusted and valued employee of the mighty Mini Market?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I don't feel so valued at the moment, actually.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Will pinot grigio suit?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01At this stage in the evening, anything alcoholic suits.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Oh, my...
0:08:06 > 0:08:07What?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I get it now.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Get what?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Why you dropped out of uni.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Why you're stuck here in a dead-end job.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17You had a baby!
0:08:17 > 0:08:18You should have said something,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I wouldn't have thought any less of you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23In fact, I would have understood your situation more.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Well, it's not my baby.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Come on, Zinnie.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30What is going on?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33We just thought we'd come back, have a drink.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35You look like you've had quite enough already.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Have you seen the time? OK, sorry.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I'm sorry, we didn't realise how late it was.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42My name's Pippa.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43I'm Leyla, Zinnie's cousin.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's just that Grace is going to be up again in an hour.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Is that your baby's name? Grace?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Leyla, will you just tell Pippa that it's not my baby?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's not Zinnie's baby.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55What time are you in work tomorrow?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59First thing. Then, maybe you should think about getting some sleep.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02SHE LAUGHS
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Look, maybe I'll just leave the drink.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07No, you don't have to go yet.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I'm working really early tomorrow anyway, so...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Why do you have to make her feel so unwelcome?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I've been asleep for less than two hours, think I hear someone
0:09:15 > 0:09:18breaking in, come down and find two drunken girls in my kitchen.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'm sorry if I'm not breaking out the vol-au-vents
0:09:20 > 0:09:22and making small talk.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25THEY LAUGH
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Listen, next time you fancy a bit of glamour, just give me a call.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30How about tomorrow evening?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'll pick up a taxi outside.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Really nice to meet you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Mm, nice.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Why did you have to go
0:09:41 > 0:09:45and throw a damp blanket over what had been a really good evening?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47And why can't you tidy up in here?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54BIRDS CHIRP OUTSIDE
0:09:59 > 0:10:02MOBILE PHONE BEEPS
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Hey.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Hey. How was your night?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well, it was great. Until we came back here.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Does your friend...?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Pippa.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Does Pippa live in Shieldinch?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44No. She lives in central Glasgow.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I'm sorry if I appeared rude.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You WERE rude.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52It's just things are pretty tough here at the moment.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I'm doing my best to keep everyone happy.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55You're doing great.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Actually, I have been thinking about going back to uni...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01BABY FUSSES It's OK. I'll go, sweetheart.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Zinnie, could you make up a bottle? I've got to get to work.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07It'll only take a minute. It'll take at least five.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I can do it. Are you sure? Yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12OK.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13So, anyway, like I was saying,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm thinking about going back to uni and finishing my course...
0:11:16 > 0:11:20That's great. I'll fetch her down, you heat up the milk.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Did you bring the milk in on your own?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Och, it wisnae that heavy.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'll get my apron on.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Stella?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52This is stupid.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56We cannae go on tiptoeing around each other all day.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Well, I really don't know what to say to you. I do.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03There's nothing for you to feel bad about.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I cannae blame you for what your brother did.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Right.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Friends again?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Friends.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Actually, I nearly did my back in carrying that lot.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20So, I'm glad you're here to help.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31What time do you call this? I'm only five minutes late. Er, try 12.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm meant to be at the suppliers' and these shelves are needing restocked.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38The sky's not going to cave in because the cheesy snacks aren't out on display, Bob.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39What's that supposed to mean?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It means, get some perspective.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Look, can you finish this for me, please? Highlight of my day.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Do you want this job or not?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Of course.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It was always my dream to serve the people of Shieldinch with
0:12:51 > 0:12:53stuff they could generally do without.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55What's going on?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Look, I do everything I can to make things
0:12:56 > 0:12:59easier for you around here and all I get is attitude.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Does "doing everything" include employing Scarlett part-time?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02I didn't have a choice in that.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05That was Head Office insisted I get somebody in. I tried to fight it.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08You're the boss around here, aren't you? If you'd fought it,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I very much doubt that Head Office would have pressed it home.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Fact is, Scarlett needed a job, and she's family, so you found her one.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That's not fair.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18No. What's not fair is you cutting my hours and putting me down
0:13:18 > 0:13:20as part-time so you can save money on my benefits.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22And you wonder why I've got attitude?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Hey, Murray.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Hey.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36What's this?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I never thanked you properly for being there for me,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41so I bought you a wee gift.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Don't you like it?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Of course I do.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I don't feel like I was much help.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54No, you made me see things clearly.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58So this flask is just a wee token of my gratitude.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I hope it'll be useful.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Right, Stella, I'll only be about ten minutes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Take as much time as you want.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09That's nice.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19What?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Gina's here to see you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Show her in.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Right you are, O Lord and Master!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28In you go, hen.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35What can I do for you?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think I've come up with a way to get the cafe sold
0:14:40 > 0:14:42to the benefit of both of us. Oh, aye?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Buyers are reluctant to take on a shareholder they don't know.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Then they do a bit of research into you,
0:14:49 > 0:14:53and they're even more reluctant. Come on, I'm a pussycat.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So, I want to make you an offer.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01You hand over control of your shares, until the cafe is sold,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and then I'll pay you the money back for them.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Have I got "mug" tattooed on my forehead?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18We can sign papers, if you don't trust me.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19I don't trust anybody.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22I really need this.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I can't move forward until it's done.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Firstly, I don't do business on sob stories,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and secondly, I don't deal in promises.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38So 30,000 in my hand, and the place is all yours.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I cannae say fairer than that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49And a latte when you've got a minute, Stella.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Oh, aye, it's all right for some, isn't it?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Swanning off when you're needed behind the counter.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Stella's being run off her feet here. I can manage fine.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yeah, that's the whole point, isn't it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It's up to management to manage, not to the staff.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04She's just winding you up. Yeah, so what's new?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07You OK?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I went to see Lenny Murdoch, to ask him if he'd hand over his shares
0:16:11 > 0:16:13until after the sale's completed.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14And what did he say?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17What do you THINK he said?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20You have to find some way of getting that money back to Dad.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, you know I would suggest selling my body,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24but I don't know if I'd have that many takers.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26How do you know if you don't try?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30There you go. Two pieces and cheese, two tuna and a slice of fruit cake.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32You off somewhere, Murray?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Up to Loch Ard for a bit of fishing.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Staying overnight and then back tomorrow.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39This is going to come in very handy when I'm out on the loch,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42waiting for a bite. Thanks, Gina.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45You're welcome. I hope things work out for you soon.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50So, what's with the hipflask?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I just wanted to say thank you, for him being there for me.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You know, the last time I tried to sell this place?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59He is a decent guy.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03If you keep him away from bricks and plate-glass windows.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05But I suppose when you compare him to Greg and the other rats
0:17:05 > 0:17:10you've been involved with, a smashed window pales into insignificance.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12What were you in for again? I think Stella's forgotten your order.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15A latte, and I'm going to have a pastry.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18And Murray's got money.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20If you were still with him,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22you wouldn't have any of your present troubles.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Hang on a minute.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30What? The hipflask.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34You're not softening him up, are you?
0:17:34 > 0:17:35What?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Buying him a wee present and then moving in for the kill.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I'm not after his money.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Why not? I think it's a great idea.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I mean, Greg took advantage of you and went off with your money.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47You could do the same for Murray.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That's not why I gave him the gift.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And unlike Greg, I happen to have a wee bit of self respect.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57But at the end of the day, it's not you that's suffering, though, is it?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58It's Dad.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Look, I asked Murray for financial help before and he said no.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05I'm not going back there.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Chances are, he's still feeling guilty about that.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I am not asking Murray for money.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Not in a million years, OK? So just you forget it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Pippa?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Hey. Oh, hey.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I don't know about you, but I'm only now starting to feel human.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You don't have any paracetamol, do you? Yep.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09You know, I was actually just going to call you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10To see if I got home OK?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Yeah, about that.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17I'm sorry. Leyla had had a bad night with the baby and took it out on us.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It's OK. I can see why you're fed up there.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I mean, you're a grown woman and she treats you like a teenager.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26"Maybe you should think about getting some sleep..."
0:19:26 > 0:19:30So how much? After last night, the least I can do is get you these.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33It happens to the best of us. Not to you, I bet.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Not for a while, actually.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39You know, I was thinking about your agency...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh, really? I mean, I don't know how it works, but...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Well, if you've got any questions, why don't you come by the office?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48We could meet up for a late lunch, have a chat?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I can't get out of work.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Zinnie?! Bob's back!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Well, you're a resourceful girl, Zinnie, I'm sure you'll find a way.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Let's say 1:30?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00The address is on the card I gave you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Did you not see the boxes? I was serving a customer.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09This is a chance to change your life, Zinnie. Call me.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15What's SHE selling? Insurance? More "reassurance".
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Right, those boxes must have been sitting there since they were delivered.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Come on, give me a hand getting them in.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You know...I don't feel so good, actually.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I think something in my sandwich might have been off.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Do you think I was born yesterday?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Uh, oh, no, I feel really sick.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Come on, you've been fine all morning,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34and then, as soon as there's work to be done, you're sick?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Do you want me to throw up all over the pick and mix?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38What would Health and Safety say?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Anyway, you can get Scarlett to cover.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I'm sure she'll be happy with the hours.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thank you for being so understanding.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49HE SIGHS
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Aren't you supposed to be at work?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I've got a job interview.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59BABY CRIES
0:20:59 > 0:21:02She can't still be hungry, can she?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I just fed her, like, ten minutes ago.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06She probably just needs a cuddle.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I think I just stress her out.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Unfortunately, they don't come with an instruction manual. Come on.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Is no-one going to wish me luck?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Good luck. Maybe we could try and close the curtains this time,
0:21:17 > 0:21:18see if that helps.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24No. I gave you the address earlier, Andrea.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's the Lochaber Hotel on Galveston Street.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Get there.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31All go? Always IS in here.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34It's not what I expected.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36You were expecting a dingy dump
0:21:36 > 0:21:39with pictures of semi-naked girls all over the wall?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Something like that. Take a seat.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46So, what did you want to know?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Just everything. How it works?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's simple, really. A girl agrees to sign up with us,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I put her on the books along with a photograph and a brief CV.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Clients check her out.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Then, if she's lucky, someone agrees to go on a date with her.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01And the date consists of?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Dinner. Chat.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04A bit of flirting
0:22:04 > 0:22:08and hopefully an enjoyable experience for all concerned.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Let me ask you a question.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13What's the biggest thing missing in your life right now?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Independence, a career?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19And how could working for me help you with that?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I guess if I had more money, I'd have more choice.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And you couldn't earn enough working in the shop?
0:22:27 > 0:22:32You're joking. Especially now Bob's reduced my hours.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, in order to move forward, you need money.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35I can give you that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40At the end of the day, you are running an escort agency.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I run a service, and not one of my employees works for me
0:22:43 > 0:22:46out of hardship, ignorance or desperation.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'm very careful about who I employ.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52They know how it works and they know the boundaries.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Does that go for your clients as well?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I don't stand for any form of coercion or mistreatment.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Everyone knows the rules, everyone sticks to them.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And my girls hold the power, always.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Do you think...I could do it?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Well, that's not up to me. That's up to you.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It doesn't sound that hard.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It's really not. It's the easiest money you'll ever make.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22The best advice I can give you is to go into it with your eyes wide open.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26What...kind of money are we talking?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28The starting rate's 300 an hour
0:23:28 > 0:23:30but you can earn up to 500 and beyond.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Well, what do you have to do for ?500 an hour?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Well, like I said, my girls always hold the power.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42No-one's forced to do anything they don't want to do.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44But equally, if the girl's enjoyed her night,
0:23:44 > 0:23:49then she's free to do whatever she wants and earn what she can.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I'm not interested in anything other than dinner and conversation.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56But you are interested?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Bring it on.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Hello? 'It's me.'
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I've got a date for you this evening, if you're interested.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16That was quick.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19'And he seems very keen to meet with you.'
0:24:19 > 0:24:22His name's Richard. He's a businessman.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24'So, what do you think?'
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Will he know it's my first date?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30I'll make sure he does.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32And that it's just dinner, nothing more.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34'I'll make sure that's clear also.'
0:24:34 > 0:24:36So?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Um...
0:24:40 > 0:24:45It'll be 300 extra pounds in your pocket by the end of this evening.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49OK.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Great.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53How about we keep it simple and have you meet at the same restaurant,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56say 7:30 in the bar?
0:24:56 > 0:24:587:30, fine.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Fantastic. I'll e-mail over the details.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Back again?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I'm leaving the trip till next week.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25What about your sandwiches?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I had them for lunch.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31You just can't stay away from here, can you, Murray?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Make me a nice coffee, Gina? I'm gasping.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well, it can't just be the quality of the coffee
0:25:37 > 0:25:39that keeps you coming back.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41That and the homely ambiance.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Well, make the most of it,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46because who knows what changes the next owner will make?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48That's if Gina ever sells the place.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Will you stop pestering the customers, please?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We're conversing. Right, Murray? Right.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Must get lots of time to think about things when you're fishing.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Yeah, you do.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06So, when you're sipping from your hipflask...
0:26:08 > 0:26:09..spare a wee thought for Gina.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Latte to go.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Thank you.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Hope she didn't bend your ear too much.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Would you let me buy you dinner tonight?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28As a thank-you for the flask.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Murray, I wasn't looking to start a back-and-forth thing.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34If not dinner, how about a drink?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36One drink.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37For old times' sake.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Och, I don't know.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Just two old friends having a drink. Where's the harm in that?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I'll even drink mine out the flask.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48SHE CHUCKLES
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I'm anticipating you're going to have some cash-flow problems
0:26:51 > 0:26:53when the new consignment comes through.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55You don't trust us to handle it?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59You, yes. You and Kennedy?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Billy'll dae what he's telt.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04He doesn't strike me as being a man who likes to take orders.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Believe me, if he thinks he's going to be making big money,
0:27:07 > 0:27:08he'll do whatever we say.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Can I take that as an assurance?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12You can take that whatever way you want.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Look, as things stand,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19you've got nowhere to hide this money, short-term.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21So, I'm going to put you in touch
0:27:21 > 0:27:24with someone who can help you out in that regard.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28This is a list of small businesses up for sale in the immediate area.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33And what, you're proposing we buy one of these?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I'm proposing you buy two or three.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41The name at the top is that of a financial advisor
0:27:41 > 0:27:43who'll be able to give you advice and support.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44What's this?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Holding meetings behind my back?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I've given Lenny a list of possible new businesses to buy up
0:27:51 > 0:27:56in the area. Places that can be used to hide large amounts of cash.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59That's a bit above and beyond the call of duty for a lawyer, is it not?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Working for the Spaniards requires a certain amount of...flexibility.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It's great that you're so hands-on, Paul,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08but the bottom line is
0:28:08 > 0:28:11that you've only really got the Spaniards' interests at heart.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Am I right or am I wrong?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Well, in this situation, happily,
0:28:15 > 0:28:19the interests of my employers and yours coincide.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23If you get caught with your trousers down again, so do they.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And I'm not about to let that happen.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Any problems, you know where I am.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40If we're going to be buying up businesses,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43we're going to have to come up with ready cash. And quick.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47What, you agree with him? There's no reason no' to, is there?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Look, why don't you get out there, eh? See what you can turn up.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Right, I'll see who I can put pressure on then, will I?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01PIANO PLAYS, PEOPLE CHAT

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Is that Zinnie?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Yeah, who's this? Look behind you.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39I'm Richard.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43And do you always ring to check out your dates first?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45You were calling to see who answered their phone,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48and if she wasn't up to your expectations, you'd have walked out.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Am I right?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51In that case, the fact that I didn't walk out can only be a good thing.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54What if you're not up to MY expectations?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Well, I apologise.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59But at least let's have a drink and see if I can grow on you.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01They do the best cocktails here.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Why don't you choose me one?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06There can only be one.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10A Whisky Sour for me, please and a Sophisticated Lady.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21So, who's the lucky lady, then?
0:30:21 > 0:30:22What do you mean?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Not very often you're in here dressed up to the nines,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27buying G You must be meeting somebody.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28And a pint, please.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Avoiding the question. Must be somebody special.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Just serve the drinks, Stevie.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It's always the quiet ones.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42I don't know about that, Zinnie. I can certainly see you as a doctor.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44In a white coat and glasses, my hair up.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I take off my glasses and shake out my hair, right?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50You're taking it somewhere else - not me!
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I like a girl who has ambition, who's not standing still.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I like a guy who likes a girl who has ambition. Excuse me.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'm really sorry, I have to take this. Work?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I'll be five minutes.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12What the hell do YOU want?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15That's not very friendly after all this time.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I thought you were in Spain.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20'Got too hot.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21'In more ways than one.'
0:31:21 > 0:31:24So, now you're back here to make our lives a misery again.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Talked to your dad, have you?
0:31:27 > 0:31:28'Should I have done?'
0:31:28 > 0:31:31I'm sure he'll be in touch any time soon.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34I'm calling in an old debt. 'How old?'
0:31:34 > 0:31:38'I lent him eight grand ten years ago. Time he coughed up.' Richard?
0:31:38 > 0:31:42I'm not discussing this over the phone. Meet me tomorrow.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Busy tonight, are you?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'm not dropping everything to deal with you
0:31:46 > 0:31:48and your sordid machinations.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52You always did like to turn a phrase, didn't you?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55And you always did like to stir up trouble, Uncle Billy.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I tell you what.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00You come up with a time and a place and I'll be there.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10You want another one? Yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Yeah, I will, Stevie, thanks.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15You look lovely, Gina.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20I thought I was being stood up.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I wouldn't do that.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Gin and tonic, not too much tonic.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26You remembered!
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Richard?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Richard, I'm here.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Thought you'd left. I just went to the bathroom.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Sorry about the call. It was a family matter.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Nothing serious, I hope.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Nothing that can't wait until tomorrow.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02You know what? I'm ready to get out of here.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04What do you say we move on?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08I'm...not sure I should be doing that on a first meeting.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I'd like to take you to another bar, that's all.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Make the most of your company while I've got it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Oh, right... I promise, I don't bite.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Not unless asked. Let's have one drink at the other bar, at least.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Then I'll make sure you get home. OK.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31I was surprised you said yes.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Och, Murray, I need my friends right now.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40So, maybe the time we spent together doesn't look
0:33:40 > 0:33:42quite as grim as it did before?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47It was never grim.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49For me neither.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55And for the record, I never liked Greg.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00He never struck me as somebody you could trust.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Tell me about it.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08And while we're dissecting recent relationships,
0:34:08 > 0:34:09I...
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I was seeing Miriam on and off.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Oh?
0:34:16 > 0:34:20It's over now. Was a very casual thing anyway.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21OK.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24SHE SCOFFS
0:34:26 > 0:34:27What's so funny?
0:34:27 > 0:34:32It was no big secret, you and Miriam.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Everybody knew.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Eileen said you're still having trouble selling the Oyster.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54I've never felt so bad about anything in my whole life.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59I've just got to get my dad's money back to him.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05She had no right talking to you about it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07She's worried about you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09She's worried about my dad and Liz.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14The answer to both problems seems to be to buy Murdoch out.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Yeah, like I could afford to.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22You know I'd do anything to help you.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Murray, you're a good friend.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29You always have been.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33But, no...
0:35:35 > 0:35:38..there's nothing anybody can do. Yes, there is.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I'll lend you the money.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46No.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50No, no.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I couldn't ask... You don't have to. I'm offering.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Another drink?
0:36:10 > 0:36:15When you said you'd get me "home", I did think you meant mine, not yours.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18What did you say you did for a living?
0:36:18 > 0:36:23I'm in property. Buying and selling. Bars and restaurants mainly.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25I spend most of my time at my house in Edinburgh,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28but this place is handy for when I've got business in Glasgow.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31And you have to get your dates through an agency?
0:36:31 > 0:36:35The only people I meet are other developers, site managers
0:36:35 > 0:36:38and estate agents. There's not a lot of scope for romance.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Is that what you're looking for - romance?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I'd like to think I'm a bit of a romantic, aye.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48So, this nightcap.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51What do you fancy? What have you got?
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Most things.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57I also use the flat for meetings and negotiations.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58And what am I?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01A meeting or a negotiation?
0:37:01 > 0:37:06You are a very special and welcome guest.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I just need to powder my nose.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Through there, second door to the right.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22So, er...
0:37:22 > 0:37:24A wee rum and Coke would be nice.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53TOILET FLUSHES
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Thanks.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16Would you think less of me if I asked you to order that taxi?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Nothing could make me think less of you.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22What if I asked you to order it for the morning?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37No Murray?
0:38:39 > 0:38:40No.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43He walked me home, though.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Ever the gent.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50So, did you ask him for the money?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56He...offered it. Right out of the blue.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Well, it wasn't quite right out of the blue, was it?
0:38:59 > 0:39:00It was for me.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Good girl. You softened him up and went in for the kill.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07That's not what happened.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Well, you can paint it any way you like. As for me, I'm proud of you.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51SHE SIGHS
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Hello, Richard.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23You all right?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Aye, very nice.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Looks like there's plenty of money in legitimate business after all.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37You should try it sometime.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Old dogs, new tricks.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Anyway, what do you want to do - do you want a coffee or something?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48This isn't a social call, Uncle Billy. Dad's not happy.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49You surprise me.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Are you seriously calling in a debt from ten years ago?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Look, you probably don't feel it up there in your ivory tower,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59but times are hard.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I have to look past family connections.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Have you spoken to Mum?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08No. I didn't think so.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11I don't need my wee sister's permission.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14You said Dad borrowed eight grand from you. Yep.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20If I give you the money, you have to promise never to contact him again.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22That is the deal.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Alex, son...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28..it was 8,000...
0:41:29 > 0:41:33..but interest has accrued since then.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36Ten years' worth.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Tell you what,
0:41:41 > 0:41:4475 grand and I'll walk away a happy man.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Cannae say fairer than that.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57You're late again.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Better late than never. I thought you were still ill,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01so I had to phone Scarlett to come in again.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I would have called if I wasn't coming.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05You're going to have to sort it out when she gets here.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Where's your tabard? It's in my bag.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Bob said you were sick.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38What? No. I'm fine.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Actually, I'm more than fine.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Who are you calling?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Eh, helpline.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49For consolidating your debts?
0:42:49 > 0:42:50No, this one's called
0:42:50 > 0:42:53"I Know We've Only Just Met, But Can You Change My Life Now, Please?"
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Never heard of it.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59PHONE RINGS
0:43:09 > 0:43:11He came to find me.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Hey, Richard?
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Hey! No, Richard, I'm here!
0:43:20 > 0:43:22That's the first time I've seen you run for anything.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Did you speak to him? What, the guy in the motor?
0:43:25 > 0:43:27No, the man in the moon. Yes, the guy in the car!
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Briefly. What did he say?
0:43:30 > 0:43:33He was asking about the pub and said he'd be back later on.
0:43:33 > 0:43:34How, who is he?
0:43:36 > 0:43:38So am I needed in the shop or no'?
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Yep, full-time, if we both play our cards right.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44You don't need the money?

0:44:45 > 0:44:47No, I should.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49You've just made a cup of tea.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53This is it, isn't it?
0:44:54 > 0:44:58I mean, I'm going to be her mum for the rest of my life.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Well, they do leave home eventually.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04I'm 17 and I haven't left home yet.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06I'm saying nothing.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10Look, you stay put, finish your cup of tea. I'll get her ready.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11Thanks, Leyla.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13For everything.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52I just had a wee windfall, thought I'd treat myself.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56Lucky you. Actually, I could do with some treatments from you.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Like skin, hair, nails, the works.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01OK. When?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Today. Like, now-ish.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05We're pretty booked up.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08Robbie, please. I need to look my best for this evening.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Are you meeting your glamorous pal again?
0:46:10 > 0:46:11I just need to look fabulous.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Well, you're going to have to do it without my help, I'm afraid.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17But "fabulous" is what you do best, isn't it? Right, thanks.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19I just hope he's worth it.

0:46:33 > 0:46:34Are you not supposed to be at work?
0:46:34 > 0:46:37I took the day off.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40To go shopping? I needed some new clothes.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Are you not meant to be strapped for cash at the moment?
0:46:42 > 0:46:44I got a store card.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47You still owe rent for last month, you do know that?
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Right, OK, I'll get it to you.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52But only after you've splashed out on yourself?
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Just don't start, Leyla.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56I don't think you realise what a fortunate position you're in.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58You've got a roof over your head, food on the table
0:46:58 > 0:47:00and no-one hassling you for money.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02A fortunate position?
0:47:02 > 0:47:05Living with a screaming baby, a nagging landlady
0:47:05 > 0:47:06and working in a dead-end job.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Oh, yeah, my life just couldn't get any better.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Well, if it's not suiting you, Zinnie, you know what you can do.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13I'm working on it, believe me.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43See you later.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45You're going out AGAIN?
0:47:46 > 0:47:49No, just thought I'd get glammed up to put the bins out.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52It is called enjoying yourself. You should try it sometime.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54Chance'd be a fine thing.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Don't wait up.
0:48:01 > 0:48:05How are you doing, Billy? What can I get you?
0:48:05 > 0:48:09An atmosphere would be nice. The place is like a morgue.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13I'll have a wee goldie and the good lady'll have a gin and tonic.
0:48:14 > 0:48:18Stevie, I'm expecting a visitor and I'll be taking him upstairs,
0:48:18 > 0:48:21and I'll not be wanting to be interrupted, understand?
0:48:21 > 0:48:23Understood.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26If Lenny turns up, just keep him down here.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30How am I gonnae do that?
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Use your imagination. Right.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36You didn't say you were meeting Alex.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Alex?
0:48:38 > 0:48:42Can we get this over with as quickly as possible?
0:48:42 > 0:48:43How are you, Mandy? Bearing up.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47How was Spain? Lovely, actually.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51Right c'mon. You stay here, pet. This'll no' take long.
0:48:51 > 0:48:52Through there.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06You glammed up again?
0:49:06 > 0:49:07Am I missing something?
0:49:07 > 0:49:09I'll have a wee rum and Coke when you're ready.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Now...
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Is this where you're living nowadays?
0:49:20 > 0:49:21It belongs to a pal.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25You've got pals? Things really are looking up for you.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29Anyway, you're planning on doing some business
0:49:29 > 0:49:30over this side of town?
0:49:30 > 0:49:33I go wherever I think I can make money.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36We're not all that different, then, are we?
0:49:37 > 0:49:40If you're eyeing up premises on this patch,
0:49:40 > 0:49:42you're gonnae need local knowledge.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43I can do my own research.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48No research can beat street-level nous, you know that.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51I know you can shove your nous where the sun don't shine.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54HE CHUCKLES
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Alex, son,
0:49:57 > 0:50:01see, you think that being family gives you the right
0:50:01 > 0:50:04to give me cheek, don't you?
0:50:05 > 0:50:09I promise not to give you cheek, if you promise not to insult
0:50:09 > 0:50:14my intelligence by making veiled threats to my business, Uncle Billy.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21Can I get you a drink?
0:50:21 > 0:50:23I thought you'd never ask.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39Are you going upstairs? It's been a long day.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Want a half?
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Aye, why not?
0:50:50 > 0:50:51No Billy?
0:50:51 > 0:50:55He's upstairs with his nephew. They're having a private meeting.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Was it something I said?
0:51:05 > 0:51:07The usual, please, Stevie.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11I'll take it through there.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29What's that? It's the money Dad owes you.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32There's never 75 grand in there.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34There's 8,000.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36That's not what we agreed.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38Eight grand's on the table, take it or leave it.
0:51:38 > 0:51:3975 grand or nothing.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41Nothing's fine by me, Billy.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43What's going on here?
0:51:43 > 0:51:46You're not the only one who can have private meetings.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Lenny Murdoch.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Birds of a feather, eh?
0:51:49 > 0:51:52Working with Uncle Billy must represent
0:51:52 > 0:51:54a pretty low point in a fairly low career.
0:51:54 > 0:51:55Do I know you?
0:51:55 > 0:51:59He's my nephew - you met him when he was about three years old.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03You want any more, you have to go through my lawyers for it.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07And they eat people like you for breakfast.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10And stay away from my family.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19BILLY SIGHS
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Waste not, want not.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Alex.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33Richard. Hey.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Hey, it's me. Zinnie.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43What are you doing?
0:52:44 > 0:52:47Um, I heard you were coming here tonight,
0:52:47 > 0:52:49so I just thought I'd come and meet you.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Why?
0:52:53 > 0:52:55Well, be...
0:52:55 > 0:52:59Because I thought we...had something...special.
0:52:59 > 0:53:00We did.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04We had a special night that had a beginning, a middle and an end.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10That's not how it felt.
0:53:10 > 0:53:11I thought you understood.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15I'm sorry if you thought there was more to it.
0:53:15 > 0:53:16Isn't there?
0:53:18 > 0:53:20I hired you for the evening, Zinnie.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25I hired you because I'm separated from my wife and I don't want
0:53:25 > 0:53:28to complicate my life with other relationships at the moment.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32You're married? And I've family in there,
0:53:32 > 0:53:34so I can't be seen with you. Do you understand?
0:53:36 > 0:53:38I'm sorry.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44What else did he say? That he was married.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47Oh, God. I feel terrible.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Let's have a reality check here.
0:53:49 > 0:53:53He didn't pick you up in a bar, he booked you through my agency.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56He wanted a hassle-free encounter with a beautiful young woman
0:53:56 > 0:53:58and that's exactly what he got.
0:53:58 > 0:53:59But he was so nice.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02What did I tell you about going into this with your eyes wide open?
0:54:02 > 0:54:05I thought I had. You need to grow up, Zinnie.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07If this is what growing up is about, then you can keep it.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Maybe this'll make you feel better.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16What is it? Your earnings.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20How much is in there?
0:54:20 > 0:54:221,000.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Seems like you two had a good night.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28I know I could make you a lot of money.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31A lot of money.
0:54:33 > 0:54:34You can...
0:54:34 > 0:54:37You can take me off your books.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39This isn't for me.
0:54:39 > 0:54:40I think you're making a big mistake.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43No, I MADE a big mistake.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Well, if it was, it was a pretty lucrative one.
0:54:47 > 0:54:48Don't spend it all at once.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10How was your evening?
0:55:12 > 0:55:13Educational.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18I didn't get a chance to tell you how lovely you looked earlier.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31What's this? It's rent.
0:55:31 > 0:55:36This month and last, plus next month's up front.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38Zinnie, are you sure you can afford this?
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Yeah, I don't need all those clothes.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42I'm going to take them back tomorrow.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48Thank you very much. This will make a real difference.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53Look, I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you lately.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56Things have been pretty hectic around here.
0:55:56 > 0:55:57I know.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03Look, how about I make you your favourite? Toasted cheese?
0:56:07 > 0:56:09You need to remember this is your home too.
0:56:15 > 0:56:16Yeah...
0:56:18 > 0:56:20..this is home.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30The man is lending me ?30,000.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32Do you not think I should show him a bit of gratitude?
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Of course.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37But we both know how far Murray's hoping that gratitude will go.
0:56:37 > 0:56:41The Oyster? I'm telling you, Lenny, that place is your dream.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43You'd be a fool to let it slip through your fingers.
0:56:43 > 0:56:47Pippa, it's Alex. Yep, you've got a problem with one of your girls.
0:56:47 > 0:56:51Stop calling Richard. I won't have you scaring away my clients.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53I've got the money.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55I've changed my mind, the deal's off.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59Dad, there's something I want you to have.
0:56:59 > 0:57:01When Murdoch wouldn't sell, I didn't know what to do.
0:57:01 > 0:57:03So you just thought you'd start giving my money away
0:57:03 > 0:57:05with no hope of paying it back?
0:57:05 > 0:57:07You lied to me, Gina.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10In my book, that makes you as bad as Greg.
