I'm worried now, Paul. Why haven't you called me? Where are you? I just don't understand what's happening any more. Why didn't you turn up on Monday? .... Look, please just let me know you are OK. Please.

So, they like your ideas? / Yeah. Ah, well, uh, certain members of the subcommettee had a few issues, didn't they, Jaz? / Lynda was a tad nervous. / I can imagine / But / rest. / Really? / sheaf-tossing in the end, didn't she? / for a farming community, although, I have to say, there is some debate among / authentic Highland event / got Lynda and / approval? / Well,  / did have rather a problem with / legs, didn't she? / A what? / which we will explain / if you've got a few hours to spare / and then, of course, I had my brilliant idea. / Which particular brilliant idea was that? / I suggested that we have a pre-event ceilidh / the Bull upstairs before the Fete. / that is a brilliant idea / people / dance / trying / traditional food / sample / fine Scottish whiskeys / I'm certainly up for that. / Hey, we could have a "best legs in the quilt" competition. / Excellent. / No, we couldn't / one for the  / One for the bin. / Lilian, how are you? / OK, yeah. / Well, just / do / ideas for the Highland Games. / Yeah. / I see. / Hey, you look like you could do with a GNT. / Yeah, yeah, that would be lovely. / You find a quiet corner. Now I'll bring it over.

So, uh, you are telling me what you do when you go to Brookfield? / Oh, yeah. Well, I clean right through, paying special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. / Yes. / Yeah, all right, sweetie, .... And then I have a regular time in the year / shampoo / carpets / looks like new when I've finished. I wash / as well. / Any other duties? / Yeah. I help with the ironing. / Oh. That's something I would find useful. / Right. so, the job is mainly cleaning and ironing, then? / Elona / cooking and shopping for me, too. / Oh, well, I've got my catering qualifications, of course. / Oh, have you? / Elizabeth / orange / Loxley. / Well, you do sound very well qualified, I must say. / need, like, several hours a week? / Oh, yes / I wonder if Keira / getting too close to the shelf of my little ornaments / Keira, over here, sweet heart  / do / did come / Sorry? / Do you have any child care arrangements in place? / Oh. Well, I'd bring her with me, like I do when I clean up Brookfield. / right. I see / Ruth's fine with it. / I'm sure. .... Oh dear, poor Bill. / Come to mummy, sweetheart. / Bill and Ben are quite old now, of course. / I know, that's a good girl, just being friendly, aren't you? / Well, I'm very grateful for your interest, Emma. / Oh, that's fine. / I'll have a think about it and get back to you. / Right.

They are doing a great job on the mood boards, anyway / So, you choose the colors and textures for the fabrics / tiles and everything / and they put all together / really / So, what colors / gone for, / Well, silvers and blues, mainly / spacious / sounds gorgeous / maybe we should think about a bit of a makeover here. / color scheme, perhaps / might give the regulars a surprise. / Oh, poor Darrel looks a bit rough. / Oh yes, / you mean. / Hi, Darrel. You OK? / Not really, no. / Oh, oh, sorry. / a bit of a shock, to be honest / dear / Builder's Paramount / me some bad news / Oh, really / It's my ex-boss. He was found dead the other day / Paul Morgan, heart attack, apparently. Oh, I'm sorry, Lilian, of course you knew him, didn't you?  / bad / Lilian, I should have thought. / Lilian? / Please .... No .... / OK, come on, we are going upstairs. / Kenton / Yeah? / Mind the bar for me, will you? Would you ... up / yeah ok. sure.

So, you said / ground with / press together / hard / level / but / Right. / And then, you pull the stick to / one / to the ground. / Am I going too fast for you? / No, it's, it's just, well, I / thinking just now / Ah, I do that all the time. / The thing is, the guy who just died really liked my work. / Right / So, that's another door closed, innit? Just / a bit / good luck.

I just can't believe it. It can't be. / Oh, Darrel did seem pretty sure, didn't he? .... Here, try and drink some water. / I can't believe / Come on, just a few sips. .... So, this Paul, he / Matt's half brother, wasn't he? / Yeah. .... Jolene, / Yeah? / What am I gonna do? / It's all right, it's all right. / I can't bear it. / I'm here. shhhh, all right, OK. / Paul and I, we were lovers. / Oh. / it was so wonderful at the beginning. / Wow, well, I knew you and Matt were going through a bad patch last year, but I .... / Yeah, we were, and Paul was so kind.

I didn't mean it / honestly / made me feel / everything I wasn't feeling with Matt / Right. / be calling him on / wait for him / flat on Monday / be there at one / flat? / in Ferpersham. He wanted us to have / our own place / Oh, I see / understand why he didn't come.

I'm here. / Oh, Paul. It's terrible. / Look, Lilian, whatever happened to him, it ... not your fault. / it feels like it now. / I was so impatient the last time we spoke / me to get there earlier on Monday / couldn't / No, no / I've got to get back. Matt should have heard something. I wonder Paul's relatives might have rung. / you'd better wash your face and tidy up a bit first. / Jolene, how am I gonna face him? / You'll be OK, once you calm down. / the last message he left for me / earlier on Monday. He said something had happened he wanted to tell me about / Yeah? / I'll never know what it was now, will I?

I've just had Paul Morgan's daughter on the phone. / Oh yeah? / He's dead. / What? / Yeah, he was found Saturday morning in some hotel room in Cardiff. Heart attack, they reckon. / Right. / happened / I told you I only wanted him scared. / And that's what I did. / So, how far exactly did this intimidation go? / Look, whatever happened, it wasn't down to me. I told you, I didn't do him any damage. / could the heart attack ever have any connection with you warning him off? / No way. I mean, he was jumpy, yeah, but most people are when I have a word with them. .... He was obviously OK / Cardiff, wasn't he? / like it / old age / stressful job, doesn't look after himself. It happens. / Yeah. Well, you'd better be telling me the truth, that's all.

Thanks for covering for me, Kenton. / Ah, that's OK. Not exactly been run off my feet. / Right. / What's happening with Lilian? / .... I don't know. / pretty upset. / Yeah. / Hey, come here. / What? / I wanna give you a hug. / OK by me. / .... So, what have I done to deserve this? / Just glad you are here, that's all.

I'm just tired. / You've been crying? / No, I .... / Hey hey hey hey hey, come here, come here. / Matt, / What is it? What is it? Hey, you can tell me, you know. / No. Honestly, I'm being silly. / How do you mean? / I'm just all ... up about mom. Jenny keeps making me feel I'm / pulling my way / suddenly got to me / I'll fix you a GNT, shan't I? / Ah, no, really, I think a long hot bath will help. / If you are sure. / I am, yeah. I'm sorry for getting so wound up about it all. / Only natural, innit?
