1
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,032
(whistles)
2
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,073
How long?
3
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,476
A day, maybe two.
4
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,994
They're gone, Rob, and the beasts sold.
5
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,033
There's a wee glen
on the other side of Ben Duh.
6
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,720
If I were tinkers
with a two-day start,...
7
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,308
..I'd lie there
and kill me some meat.
8
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,829
We'd not get there before dark.
9
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,076
Not stood here, we won't.
10
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,956
(men chatting and laughing)
11
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,195
You can smell them through the meat.
12
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,028
Aye, if they fought
as strong as they smelled,...
13
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,269
..we'd be in trouble.
14
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,152
They're there right enough,
just like you said, Rob.
15
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,193
We can rush them when they're asleep.
16
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,711
10 of them to six of us.
17
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,274
Nine. One of them's a woman.
18
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,312
Half of them would be dead
before they were awake.
19
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,829
How will we take them, Rob?
20
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,235
I'll talk to them in the morning.
21
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,036
I'm getting too old for this...
lying wet arsed in the heather,...
22
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,469
..chasing other men's cattle.
23
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,712
Come away
to the Americas with me.
24
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:14,276
They say there's fine acres
for the clearing in Virginia.
25
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,631
And they'll likely be
as hard as these to sleep on.
26
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,110
Why are you going in
to talk to them?
27
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,151
I know one of them.
28
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,310
Up!
29
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,433
Get up, you bunch of ragged-arsed
tinker cow thieves!
30
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,674
This is Robert Roy McGregor
come to reclaim the 32 beasts...
31
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,836
..stolen from His Lordship
James Graham,...
32
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,473
..Marquis of Montrose.
33
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,433
Tam Sibbald.
34
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,713
Still at your thieving.
35
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,558
Throw down now,
and I'll spare you, all but one.
36
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,319
There's a price to being
a leader of men, Tam.
37
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,515
(chuckling)
38
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,631
By God, McGregor, if there's
any killing to be done...
39
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,954
..you're the first.
40
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,798
Who do you think you are,
acting the great chief?
41
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,438
And I know you're a bigger thief
than any of us.
42
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,957
Aye, but if I had stolen
His Lordship's cattle,...
43
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,719
..you would not have
walked into my dreams so easy.
44
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,997
I can call the Gregorach
and kill the half of ya,...
45
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,430
..or it can be between us
and nothing more.
46
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,836
- Ha!
- Think on it, man.
47
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,389
Would you not rather
be dead after a good hump...
48
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,272
..and a belly full of stolen beef...
49
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,795
..or have me march you
back to Montrose...
50
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,878
..to shit yourself
on the gallows a month hence?
51
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,638
Throw down! Now!
52
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,559
And you have my word
no-one else will die!
53
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,235
Come, lads.
54
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,677
Any man with a blade
in his hands,...
55
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,755
..cut him down.
56
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,553
Are ye men,...
57
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:47,874
..or what are ye?
58
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,155
He killed Tam,
and you stand and live!
59
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,075
And him as much an outlaw
as any of you!
60
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,555
No man among ya!
Your mothers curse you!
61
00:08:58,680 --> 00:08:59,635
You're spittle!
62
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,829
You're leavings!
63
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,669
(muffled cursing)
64
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,475
Listen to me well,
and remember this:
65
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,433
Or I'm going to remember you,
every last one.
66
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,915
When next you think
to steal cattle,...
67
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,838
..have a care they're not
under my protection.
68
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,952
But if they are,
you're not stealing from their owners.
69
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,038
You're stealing from me,
Robert Roy McGregor.
70
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,960
No man who steals my beasts
makes a profit.
71
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,116
If you doubt me, ask Tam Sibbald.
72
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,592
What will you do with her?
73
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,670
Be on your way and tell no man
you fared ill at our hands.
74
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,115
Go on.
75
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,274
(laughing)
76
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,751
(loud cheering)
77
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:37,955
Cut him down!
78
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,115
Go on.
79
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,349
Yeah!
80
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,156
Ladies and gentlemen,
the winner of the contest is Guthrie!
81
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,279
Montrose, come hotfoot
from the court to the cockpit.
82
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,073
May I present Archibald Cunningham.
83
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,156
His Grace, the Duke of Argyll.
84
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,316
I am Your Grace's humble servant.
85
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,838
Another of your likely lads?
86
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,195
Archibald is sent me by his mother...
87
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,949
..in the hope that our climate
might cool the fever in his blood.
88
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,433
So, Mr Cunningham,...
89
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:32,439
..what are these principal sins
that distress your mother?
90
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:34,790
Dice? Drink?
91
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,797
Or are you a buggerer of boys?
92
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,798
It is years, Your Grace,
since I buggered a boy.
93
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,639
And in my own defence,
I thought him a girl...
94
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,671
..at the moment of entry.
95
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,392
What say you, Guthrie,...
96
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,193
..that Archie
could not tell arse from quim?
97
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Many Englishmen
have that same difficulty.
98
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,150
Oh, spoken as well as you fought.
99
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,078
Did you see Guthrie here at work,
Mr Cunningham?
100
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,316
He has a fair hand with the cleaver.
101
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,557
You do not think much
of our highland tools, then?
102
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:07,117
If I had to kill an ox, a claymore
would be my first choice, Your Grace.
103
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,191
You best use a musket...
104
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,390
..and save the beast a slow dying.
105
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,154
I would not need
a musket for you, Guthrie.
106
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,032
Oh, splendid!
107
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,276
I'll wager 100 of what you like...
108
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,197
..on Guthrie and his cleaver.
109
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,469
At odds?
110
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,433
Now, come, James,
you're a fox. What odds?
111
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:28,913
- Three?
- Two.
112
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,836
English pounds.
113
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,872
There's more of a jingle to guineas.
114
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,151
- Ah, guineas it is.
- Excellent, excellent.
115
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,794
A bumper of rhenish
for my Lord Montrose...
116
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,593
..and show Mr Cunningham
what blades we have.
117
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,792
You honour me, sir,
to serve me with your own hand.
118
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,990
I tell you, James,...
119
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,829
..I forget how much you dislike me
until I'm in your presence.
120
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,356
So, what news at court?
121
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,871
What else but the succession?
122
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,151
Our poor Queen cannot find
the time to die in peace.
123
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,795
I fear she may pass over
and leave the matter unresolved.
124
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,549
Would that she had seen a child live
to comfort the kingdom.
125
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:16,956
One might have hoped that
a field so often ploughed...
126
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,275
..might have yielded one good crop.
127
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,278
In truth, I have seen
healthier graveyards...
128
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,550
..than that woman's womb.
129
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:26,750
(cheering)
130
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,511
(laughter)
131
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,794
Come on!
132
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,358
I am asked on what side
Your Grace will declare himself.
133
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,634
Where Argyll goes,
the path must be firm and broad.
134
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,354
And now all watch
to see which way to jump.
135
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,357
One cannot go to the closet...
136
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,995
..but what some adherent to James
is praising your pish.
137
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,194
(crowd groans)
138
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,912
(hissing)
139
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,631
I confess to a certain
weariness in this whole issue...
140
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,194
..and look to Your Grace
to give some lead.
141
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,992
All I could answer in honesty...
142
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,032
..was that it would be the one
most inclined to his own benefit.
143
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,037
Damn it, man. You talk too much.
144
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,151
Can you not tend to your wager?
145
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,232
Argyll, my wager is well won.
146
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,957
Damn it, Guthrie!
147
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,789
Is it not enough that you're beaten
but you must turn backstabber?
148
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,471
My factor will call upon
Your Grace's factor.
149
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,272
Welcome back.
150
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,594
Well done, Rob, man.
151
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,876
(coughing)
152
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,835
(coughing)
153
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,236
Cut out another of the cattle.
154
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,794
If the tinkers ate one,
they could have eaten two.
155
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,876
Montrose will charge you, nonetheless.
156
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,356
I'm weary of seeing
children hungry and old folk cold.
157
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,074
It'll take more than a cow to fix that.
158
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,634
You'll be in the Americas,
living off the fat,...
159
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:15,954
..so it won't worry ya.
160
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,389
- Have some broth, Rob.
- No, Coll. I'm for home.
161
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,635
God bless you, Rob.
162
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,470
Rob just walks in among them,
his sword still in its sheath...
163
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,957
..and says, ''Get up,
you bunch of ragged-arsed...''
164
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,957
Hello, Rob.
165
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,629
''Get up, you bunch
of ragged-arsed cow thieves.''
166
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,716
Rob up to him and says,...
167
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,992
''Tell your crew to lay down
and I'll only cut your throat,...
168
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:42,473
..else I'll call my men.''
169
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,670
And we're all there. We are ready.
170
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,275
Get up, boy. Come on.
171
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,638
Go on. Get.
172
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,556
I dreamed a silkie came.
173
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,190
And what did he do
to you, your silkie?
174
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,148
You wakened me
before the best of it,...
175
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,354
..but he would have
ravished me for certain.
176
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,079
How do you know you're awake, wife?
177
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,914
(moaning)
178
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,076
Mr Killearn.
179
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,918
I'm on my way.
180
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,508
Aye. Well on the way, I'd venture.
181
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,949
Let me be, Mr Killearn. You'll wake him.
182
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,433
Don't, Mr Killearn!
183
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,348
I'm sure the young master
has you nicely greased, does he not?
184
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,994
Oh, Betty, you'd hardly
feel me going in.
185
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,917
(murmuring)
186
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,756
A wee whiff of quim in the morning,...
187
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,757
..Mr Cunningham, sir.
188
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,838
Just the thing to clear your head.
189
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,915
(sniffing)
190
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,799
Mr Cunningham,
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
191
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,832
Of course
you're bloody well disturbing me.
192
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,991
Do you think I want to wake up...
193
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:00,715
..and find some great smelly
Scotch man staring down at me?
194
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,355
(urinating)
195
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,555
(farting)
196
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,636
What are you doing here?
197
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,433
I came to tell you
that some local trades people...
198
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,755
..are pressing
for payment on your debt.
199
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,716
You woke me for that?
200
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,308
A thousand apologies,
Mr Cunningham,...
201
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,874
..but they've also writ
to His Lordship.
202
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,552
Damn it, man.
203
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,638
I but recently
earned His Lordship 200 guineas.
204
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,514
What are the complaints
of a few tradesmen for such services?
205
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,795
This country does not agree with me.
206
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,673
I cannot wait to be
out of the damnable place.
207
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,348
The sentiments of
a great many of us, sir.
208
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,472
Would you like me
to take away your chamber pot?
209
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,075
I know many a Scotsman would be
glad of this on a cold morning.
210
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,918
It's almost pure spirit,...
211
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,156
..and I'm no judge of a pint of pish.
212
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,194
Come back.
213
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,275
Come here!
214
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,278
(Rob) I killed Tam Sibbald
yesterday morning.
215
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,676
We played ball once at Creiff market.
216
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,792
I remember shouting,
''Well done, Tam'',...
217
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,273
..when he made a run.
218
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,551
And there he was,
hung on the end of my dirk like meat.
219
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,033
Aye.
220
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,116
Well, likely it was necessary.
221
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,357
Aye, it was.
Necessary enough to save worse.
222
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,870
But those tinkers
weren't all born broken men, Mary.
223
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,911
Some of them had kin and clan.
224
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,508
They made me fear
I might have come across...
225
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,312
..one of our own among them.
226
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,396
McGregors are not tinkers.
227
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,954
But a hard winter or two away,
some of us...
228
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,956
What's gnawing on you, Robert?
229
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,755
I've made up my mind
to borrow money from Montrose...
230
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,395
..to buy cattle at Creiff market
and sell at Carlisle.
231
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,158
How much money?
232
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,429
�1 ,000.
233
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,349
Believe me, Mary, it will turn profit.
234
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,436
�6 in Creiff is �1 2 in Carlisle.
235
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,357
And I know cattle.
236
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,869
I can drive them faster
and deliver them fatter...
237
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,433
..than any man in the kingdom.
238
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,030
Why would the Marquis of Montrose
lend a McGregor �1 ,000?
239
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,593
For profit, what else?
240
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,790
It's an investment as much as a loan.
241
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,595
So it's business partners you are now,
you and the Marquis.
242
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,950
Keep that tongue for your boys, woman.
243
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,640
I didn't tell you my mind
to be flayed for it.
244
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,751
You know I love the bones of you,
Robert McGregor.
245
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,031
But you take too much to heart
that cannot be helped.
246
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,116
It must be helped.
247
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,276
All right...
248
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,356
..but not today.
249
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,036
(giggling and shouting)
250
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,229
I got yous.
251
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,112
I got the two of yous!
252
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,753
Got the two of yous!
253
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,358
Move on.
254
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,395
Father,...
255
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,080
..will McGregors ever be kings again?
256
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,350
All men with honour are kings,...
257
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,630
..but not all kings have honour.
258
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,239
What is honour?
259
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:16,076
Honour is...
260
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,516
..what no man can give you...
261
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,596
..and none can take away.
262
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,434
Honour is a man's gift to himself.
263
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,835
Do women have it?
264
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,951
Women are the heart of honour,...
265
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,560
..and we cherish
and protect it in them.
266
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,752
You must never mistreat
a woman or malign a man,...
267
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,155
..nor stand by and see another do so.
268
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,316
How do you know if you have it?
269
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,914
Never worry on the getting of it.
270
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:49,351
It grows in you and speaks to you.
271
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,150
All you need do is listen.
272
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,878
All right, lads,
enough of the finer things.
273
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,958
You've animals to tend to
and water to haul.
274
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,310
Your mother and me
will be down directly.
275
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,156
Take the basket.
276
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,394
(barking)
277
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,715
Come on!
I'll race you down the hill.
278
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,271
Do you know how fine
you are to me, Mary McGregor?
279
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,356
So fine.
280
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,756
Is that why you sent them away?
281
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,956
To tell me how fine I am?
282
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,753
Or did you want to make a silk purse...
283
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,348
..out of my sow's ear again?
284
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,277
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
285
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,356
What a wanton I'm wed to.
286
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,876
You know what the old wives say...
287
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,434
..about these standing stones?
288
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,632
No. What do the old wives say,... old wife?
289
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,476
Ow!
290
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,160
Ow. Come here.
291
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,793
What do they say?
292
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,876
(giggles)
293
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,598
So, what do they say?
294
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:14,749
They say the stones make men hard...
295
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,956
..and women fertile.
296
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,277
We've no need of them, you and me.
297
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,988
You know how fine you are to me,
Robert McGregor?
298
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,234
This tailor in Glasgow
to whom you owe �87...
299
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:31,432
..extended this credit
because you were my guest?
300
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,551
Or as you prefer to frame it,...
301
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,352
..a member of my household.
302
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,391
I can assure Your Lordship...
303
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,636
..I have in no manner indebted him.
304
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,194
And now Killearn tells me...
305
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,630
..that you are saddling
one of my serving wenches.
306
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,513
Damn it, sir! Your mother
did not send you to me...
307
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,312
..to debauch innocent girls.
308
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,318
I regret that I have
so offended Your Lordship.
309
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,635
By your leave, I will remove myself.
310
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,671
(chuckling)
311
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,553
And to where,...
312
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,432
..might I ask?
313
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,994
You are penniless. You have no mount.
314
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,076
You know no-one.
315
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,351
To where would you remove yourself?
316
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,636
Have you some notion...
317
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,957
..of presenting yourself
at the Duke of Argyll's door...
318
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,197
..and soliciting his patronage
as his new champion?
319
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,278
I am Your Lordship's to command.
320
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,877
Remember your place, sir!
321
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,232
That's all I ask of any man.
322
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,911
What is next?
323
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,356
McGregor, My Lord.
324
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,117
You may go, Archibald.
325
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,556
You bear no arms?
326
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,831
I hadn't planned
on demanding terms at sword point.
327
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,160
Robert McGregor of Craigrostan,
My Lord.
328
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,437
So, McGregor...
329
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,438
I knew your father,
an able man, if not a wise one.
330
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,436
Have you taken on his mantle?
331
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,835
As best I may, My Lord.
332
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,878
So, how many men are you master of?
333
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,797
Master of none, My Lord,...
334
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,276
..but some 200 souls
live close by Craigrostan,...
335
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,118
..and they're in my care.
336
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,708
You are a profit and provider
to them,...
337
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,875
..is that not so?
338
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,353
What I can, I do.
339
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,870
It is no great matter
compared to Your Lordship's work.
340
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,672
(chuckles)
341
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,836
To know one's place, McGregor,...
342
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,599
..in the order of things
is a great blessing.
343
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,472
What terms, Killearn?
344
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,272
A fifth, My Lord.
345
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,879
A fifth, you say?
346
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,673
What, is this man kin
that you offer such kindly terms?
347
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,030
Am I not accustomed
to a quarter on unsecured loans?
348
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,755
McGregor has 300 acres
at Craigrostan, My Lord.
349
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,555
Ah. A man of property
intent on growing richer.
350
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,958
Well, we have more in common
than I would have suspected, McGregor.
351
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,438
�1 ,000 for 3 months, you say,...
352
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,792
..and these acres of yours as security?
353
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,876
And my oath.
354
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,956
Ah, yes.
355
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,437
Tell me, is there something
in what Killearn says...
356
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,313
..that you might have
driven off my cattle...
357
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,911
..and returned them with stories of
tinkers caught and summarily executed?
358
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,395
I have, in my day, thieved cattle,...
359
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,909
..but none that were under my watch.
360
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,110
Is that what passes for honour...
361
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,514
..with a McGregor?
362
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,356
What passes for honour with me...
363
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,631
..is likely enough
the same as with Your Lordship.
364
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,273
When my word is given,...
365
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,355
..it is good.
366
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,468
Well, you are to be congratulated...
367
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,750
..on such cheaply bought nobility.
368
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,956
Killearn will draw papers.
369
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,389
I will expect the terms to be met.
370
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,956
My thanks to Your Lordship.
371
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,992
Aye, but it's a fine,
bold signature you have,...
372
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,953
..worthy of a chieftain himself.
373
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,116
Are you Rob Roy McGregor?
374
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,878
I am. And what's your name?
375
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,353
Davey Anderson.
376
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,152
Hello, Davey Anderson.
377
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,510
Hello.
378
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,915
Even the servant boys
know who you are.
379
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,794
You've become a famous reiver
and retriever in your own lifetime.
380
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,070
Business and profit.
381
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,838
And a soft winter.
382
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,996
Are you Rob Roy McGregor?
383
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,956
I am.
384
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,957
I'm Will Guthrie.
385
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,036
You heard of me?
386
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,956
No, I have not.
387
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,636
Well, I've heard of you.
388
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,913
(Rob) Indeed.
389
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,395
And what have you heard, Mr Guthrie?
390
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,310
I heard you backstabbed Tam Sibbald.
391
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,672
Were you and Tam kin?
392
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,596
Near enough.
393
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,233
I shagged his sister.
394
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,715
Likely so did Tam.
395
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,674
You want the wind
let out of your bladder?
396
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,953
What's your business with me, Guthrie?
397
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,190
Business best done outside.
398
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:20,355
We have no quarrel.
399
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,835
That can be remedied.
400
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,918
The first cut?
401
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:36,995
Aye.
402
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,671
Well done.
403
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,755
(laughter)
404
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,756
Some other time...
405
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,836
..when we're both sober.
406
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,710
Tam Sibbald has a longer reach dead
than he ever did living.
407
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,592
I'm away home.
408
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:15,076
Keep the pony
and stick to Killearn till you have the note.
409
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,156
I'll see you back in Craigrostan.
410
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,560
I'm to wait here till the note is signed.
411
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,399
Aye. We are the obedient one.
412
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,750
Fetch and carry at command.
413
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,030
Why has a smart young lad like you...
414
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,720
..attached himself to a bunch of tinkers?
415
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,239
I would have thought you more fit...
416
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,351
..to serve a man like my master,
the Marquis of Montrose.
417
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,074
I do not serve Robert McGregor.
418
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:44,992
I'm his friend...
419
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,157
..and count myself fortunate to claim it.
420
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,636
My God, what a crew
you Highlanders are.
421
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,955
With your airs and honours,...
422
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,914
..come begging �1 ,000 as if you
were doing the lender a favour.
423
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,151
Sheep shaggers, the lot of ya.
424
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:02,995
Baa!
425
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:10,150
My mother could come no nearer
than three candidates for my paternity.
426
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,152
The Earl of Rutland.
427
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,555
Now, there's a name for a whore master.
428
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,913
A secretary to the Spanish Ambassador...
429
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,549
..whose name
she hazarded as Ferdinando...
430
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,909
..and some young buck she never saw...
431
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,679
..who raised her skirts
at the masked ball.
432
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,392
He ravished her?!
433
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,234
I would put it no higher
than surprised.
434
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,312
Archie, take me with you.
435
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,879
Wherever.
436
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,149
Whatever.
437
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,636
Take me away with you.
438
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,830
I am away, Betty,...
439
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,958
..and God help me,
this is where I've landed.
440
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,877
You think me a gentleman...
441
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,549
..because I have linen
and can manage a lisp.
442
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,556
I am but a bastard abroad,...
443
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,549
..seeking my fortune
and the favours of great men,...
444
00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:13,119
..as big a whore
as my mother ever was.
445
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,072
I'm pregnant by you, Archie.
446
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,353
Well.
447
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,355
When it asks for its father's name,...
448
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,556
..at least you'll have it to give.
449
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,591
(knock on door)
450
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:36,790
Mr Cunningham, it's me... Killearn.
451
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,114
A word with you.
452
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:39,798
Don't let him see me.
453
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,199
You are a carbuncle
on this arse of a country.
454
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,392
And if you ever inform against me
to His Lordship again,...
455
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,476
..I'll squeeze the pus out of you...
456
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,874
..with my bare hands.
457
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,232
(gasping)
458
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,759
My, Archie,...
459
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,668
..but you have
a rare contempt in you.
460
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,472
I gave you no leave
to call me familiar.
461
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,795
Could I pay for the privilege?
462
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,876
At a fair price.
463
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,718
What are you gibbering about?
464
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,559
Money, Archie. Money. What else?
465
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,077
How much money?
466
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,790
Let's talk inside over a dram.
467
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,672
It's chill on the stairs.
468
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,553
Say what you have to say.
469
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,956
I am engaged within.
470
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,799
Ah, you've Betty on her back.
471
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,359
How much money?
472
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,630
�1 ,000.
473
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,116
�1 ,000.
What does �1 ,000 look like?
474
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,595
Will we have enough ponies to carry it?
475
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:49,154
Not coin. A note of credit...
476
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,759
..drawn on His Lordship.
477
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,472
- What interest, Rob?
- One fifth.
478
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,034
And he gets �200 profit for three months?
479
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,549
Aye. That's the price of cash,...
480
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,513
..and we must plan the matter
to the last penny.
481
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,756
When Alan returns,
he'll take three of you,...
482
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,074
..and you'll go to Creiff.
483
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,872
There you'll bargain with the drovers...
484
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,912
..and have the herd assembled
when I come with our kit for the drive.
485
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,268
How big a herd?
486
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,549
300. Maybe more.
487
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,319
And whatever we can acquire
along the way.
488
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,317
No harm if a dozen or more stick.
489
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,034
We'll drive them into Carlisle like an army.
490
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,071
So, let's have all hands to it.
491
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,192
We'll stay warm this winter,
within and without.
492
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,788
To celebrate, we'll hold a gathering...
493
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,797
..and drink to our success!
494
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,672
(cheering)
495
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,149
Right, McKinness.
496
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,430
That's two shillings still owing.
497
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,915
- Next.
- Colqhoun.
498
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,031
Colqhoun, what have you got? A rabbit?
499
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,197
You're still a week behind, Colqhoun.
500
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,308
Must I wait all day
for my note, Killearn?
501
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,431
Patience, McGregor's man.
502
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,516
Your turn is marked.
503
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,949
Take you that goat to the pen.
504
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,079
Come, young Davey Wilson.
505
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,589
What have you got for me?
Another rabbit.
506
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:14,076
- Does nobody have any money?
- No, sir. Only a rabbit.
507
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,956
Dreaming of the New World, were we?
508
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,757
I hear tell in the New World...
509
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,314
..they have tribes of noble savages...
510
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,351
..with paint on their faces...
511
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,152
..and skins on their backs.
512
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,516
You'll be well at home among them.
513
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,596
Enough of this tripe.
Have you the note?
514
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,517
His Lordship is to Edinburgh
for the Assize,...
515
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,517
..then to London direct.
516
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,551
Great doings at the Court.
517
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,638
And he's away without signing the note.
518
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,716
The best I can do for you is coin.
519
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,153
This was not agreed.
520
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,350
Agreed or no, there's �1 ,000 here.
521
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,358
Take it or leave it,
it makes no difference to me,...
522
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,959
..nor to His Grace.
523
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,750
Aye, it's a terrible shock,...
524
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,111
..the sight of such a fortune
within reach, is it not?
525
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,717
It's just as well you have
the trust of the McGregor...
526
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,638
..or I'd be hard pressed
to sign it over to you.
527
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,916
(fiddle)
528
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,115
Angus.
529
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:39,673
A great gathering, Rob.
530
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,593
Oh. That Alasdair Roy
is a fierce dancer.
531
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:53,950
The last time
I saw you in such a lather,...
532
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,230
- ..you were flat on your back.
- Ooh!
533
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,475
Do not affront me afore these folk.
534
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,593
Rob, do you know why Calvinists
are against shagging standing up?
535
00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:03,278
No, Coll. I do not.
536
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,516
They fear it might lead to dancing.
537
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:06,750
(horse snorts)
538
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,352
Stay back,
or by God, I'll shoot you dead.
539
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,473
For a moment there, I thought
you might take the road to Greenock...
540
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,919
..with your �1 ,000.
541
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,594
Killing is not so easy as it seems.
542
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:27,229
La.
543
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,877
(sings in Gaelic.: Ailein Duinn)
544
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:16,039
He sat there all day, pondering on this.
545
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,513
- You gave him coin.
- He insisted upon it.
546
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,676
When I told him His Grace
hadn't signed the note,...
547
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,552
..he said you must have it,...
548
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,717
..or the beasts could not
be bought at the best price.
549
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,637
I'm hard put to see you
hand over such a sum...
550
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,239
..to one who couldn't bear the debt.
551
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,588
He was your man,...
552
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:32,359
..present at your signing of the terms,...
553
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:33,959
..ordered by you to wait.
554
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,957
For a note, not a bag of guineas!
555
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,512
It was not all guineas.
556
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,189
These farmers pay in small coin,
I assure you.
557
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,117
He signed for this bag of coin?
558
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,035
Indeed.
559
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,355
He did.
560
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,955
Almost as bold a hand as yourself.
561
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,033
There best be no skulduggery here,
Killearn.
562
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,754
Alan McDonald
stands under my protection.
563
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,350
Well, that's a great comfort
to us all, I must say,...
564
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,198
..what with �1 ,000 at risk.
565
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,269
Now, listen. We must search for Alan.
566
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,709
I fear he's come to mischief hereabouts.
567
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,796
I say we look in Greenock.
568
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,072
It comes quickly to your mind
that he has robbed us.
569
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,156
He spoke of the Americas often enough.
570
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,352
And he walked
to Greenock from Buchlyvie...
571
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,755
..and sent his pony home without him?
572
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,953
�1 ,000 would be enough
to buy him 10 ponies.
573
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,470
Alan McDonald did not betray me.
574
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,750
Now to it and find his trace.
575
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,319
Come on! To it!
576
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,031
Go to Greenock, then...
577
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,628
..since you have that stink in your nose.
578
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:04,988
But, brother,...
579
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,271
..bad enough that it might be so
without you wishing it.
580
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,356
Rob.
581
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,436
Well, what news?
582
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,119
The ship sailed
the day before I got there,...
583
00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:38,832
..and McDonald's name...
584
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,269
..was not on the harbourmaster's list.
585
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,798
But he wouldn't have
likely used his own name...
586
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,309
..and him run off with... 1 ,000...
587
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,956
Aye.
588
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,156
(courtly music playing)
589
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:24,433
Your Lordship,...
590
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,676
..the Duke of Argyll this way comes.
591
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,278
John, you look like a man
who means to play hard.
592
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,233
Do not presume to speak
above your station, sir!
593
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,271
I will have my rank from you!
594
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,752
Your Grace.
595
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,838
I have word from Court
that you're saying I'm a Jacobite,...
596
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,839
..as one who would rise for the Stuart
should he land here to claim the throne.
597
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,557
Great men such as yourself...
598
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,433
..draw rumours as shite draws flies.
599
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,437
You are the shite, Montrose,...
600
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:00,913
..and the flies upon it!
601
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,838
For all the flowers
in your great gardens,...
602
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,359
..I know you in my nose.
603
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,157
Keep your stink off my name,...
604
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,353
..or by God, I will clip you
as close as one of your gelded trees,...
605
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,393
..and this carrion you keep
will not come between us!
606
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,958
What pride to use
a fellow peer in public so!
607
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,597
Damn his pride!
608
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,356
Forgive me.
609
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,595
Damn His Grace's pride.
610
00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:53,276
Why is it so beyond your belief...
611
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,517
..that he might have yielded
to the sight of all that money?
612
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,756
Unguarded, unasked, but there...
613
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,836
..a lifetime's wages in a bag.
614
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,077
Because I know him.
I know him more than half his life.
615
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,316
But was he ever handed �1 ,000 before?
616
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,431
He was handed a hundred times more.
617
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,028
He was given trust, and he repaid in kind.
618
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,116
Why do you not believe me?
619
00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:15,196
All right, Rob.
620
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,151
He did not steal from you.
621
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,350
But he has gone, the money's gone,...
622
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,234
..and Montrose will not care
if you believe one thing or the other.
623
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,909
- That's another matter.
- No. That's the only matter now.
624
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,316
For all our sakes, Robert,
you must take off your high hat,...
625
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,192
..and make what terms you can.
626
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,517
Else our home is lost
and ourselves His Lordship's tenants.
627
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,830
Ah, here comes the bold Highlander.
628
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,076
No arse in his breeks...
629
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,395
..but too proud to tug his forelock.
630
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,398
No doubt the rogue seeks
to blame his servant...
631
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:24,399
..for I hear there
is no word of the man.
632
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,149
I see you're back in favour
with your tailor, Archibald.
633
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,475
He must be a happy man.
634
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,591
So, McGregor, how is it with you?
635
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:33,755
As it was, My Lord.
636
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,031
There is still no word of McDonald
or Your Lordship's money.
637
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,513
What are we to do, then?
638
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,632
If Your Lordship would contract with me
for another sum,...
639
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,479
..I would turn over
all profit and so repay my debt.
640
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,592
I have but lost �1 ,000.
You ask me to risk another?
641
00:54:47,720 --> 00:54:50,712
My Lord, the money was stolen from me
and from you.
642
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,876
I am no part of your incompetence.
643
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,592
You signed a paper.
644
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,119
And I will honour it.
645
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:58,595
Oh, ply me not with your honour, man.
646
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,476
Let us keep these matters simple.
647
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,319
You are indebted to me.
On that we are agreed?
648
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:06,589
We are, My Lord.
649
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,477
Know you the Duke of Argyll?
650
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,556
By his repute alone.
651
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,868
My report is that Argyll is a Jacobite...
652
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,471
..and would declare for James Stuart
should he seek to reclaim the throne.
653
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,830
These are intelligences
unknown to me, My Lord.
654
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,439
They are known to you now.
655
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,915
I'm uncertain of Your Lordship's meaning.
656
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,393
Oh, damn it, man!
657
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,431
You and your clan are Jacobites...
658
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,516
..bred to the bone.
659
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,556
Argyll is nothing to you.
660
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,750
I want your word against him.
661
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,759
Give it, and we will come
to some reckoning on what you owe me.
662
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,559
I can be of no assistance
to Your Lordship...
663
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,989
..in this matter of the Duke of Argyll.
664
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,552
You owe me.
665
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,750
I owe you money. Nothing more.
666
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,589
What you have asked is as below me
as it should be beneath Your Lordship.
667
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,790
You misspeak yourself, McGregor.
668
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,195
It is the Marquis of Montrose
who has misspoke himself...
669
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,958
..to ask my perjury against his enemies.
670
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,957
Leave the blade be, sir!
671
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,877
This is not your quarrel.
672
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,672
You do not hear me, McGregor.
673
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,756
I did not ask if or whether.
674
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,678
Your land is forfeit to me
against your debt.
675
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,395
Until that is settled,
I will have you lodged in the tolbooth.
676
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,750
Take him into custody, Archibald.
677
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,030
You have my commission on it!
678
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,755
My father spent two years in that jail...
679
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,678
..for no cause but the will
of great men like you.
680
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,519
- I will not go there, sir.
- Call out the watch!
681
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,791
Call nothing, or I'll cut his throat!
682
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,436
You are damned, McGregor.
683
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,516
Damned to hell.
684
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,198
Come, Your Lordship.
685
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:48,753
Leave the devil some work.
686
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,791
You've done enough for one day.
687
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,672
Call out the watch!
688
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,677
Yes, sir.
689
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,189
(Killearn) Call out the watch!
Call out the watch!
690
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,949
You have slept your last
peaceful night, McGregor.
691
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,191
You and yours.
692
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,553
What is John Campbell,
Duke of Argyll, to us...
693
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,432
..that you must defend him
against Montrose?
694
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,073
I did not defend him.
695
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,953
I refused to bear
false witness against him.
696
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,150
Gregor, send men to the passes
and set watches.
697
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,838
And the lochside?
698
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,798
They'll not likely come by
the shore, but watch all ways.
699
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,992
Listen, lads. I have to go
to the hills for a time.
700
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,078
You stay by your mother
and be her help, you hear?
701
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,870
Let Argyll know
that you are persecuted for his sake.
702
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,879
I'm persecuted
for no man's sake but my own, Mary.
703
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,392
What?
704
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,557
Would you have me lie
against my conscience to suit Montrose?
705
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,989
No! To suit me and Duncan and Ranald,...
706
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,429
..to stay home
with your wife and children...
707
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,074
..instead of taking to the hills
like a fox.
708
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:00,798
Out!
709
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,990
Out! Out! Out! Out!
710
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:04,872
He'll be with you soon enough!
711
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,870
Take the boys and go to Morag's.
712
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,956
She'll make a place.
713
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,674
And let Montrose's
troopers foul my house.
714
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,076
No harm will come to you.
Montrose's quarrel is with me.
715
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,077
And you revel in it.
716
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,316
The great man against all.
717
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,314
And likely you'll slip
down in the night...
718
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,635
..when the mood takes you.
719
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,435
Or will you just
find yourself a sheep to comfort you?
720
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,632
If I do, it will be one
that doesn't bleat so bitter.
721
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,469
(Rob) No trouble between them and you.
722
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:47,953
Give no cause.
723
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,798
This is between me and Montrose,...
724
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,957
..and likely when he's broke a few horses,
he'll quieten down.
725
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,799
Watch Alasdair.
Put him where he can do no harm.
726
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,751
Keep up the watch for McDonald.
727
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,359
Ach, Rob, he's long gone.
728
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,153
Aye, but is he over the seas
or under them?
729
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,156
And, Coll, ask Morag to go down to Mary.
730
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,396
She's sore at me for this business.
731
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,431
That Montrose is a stoat of a man.
732
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,516
Heaven protect us from his like.
733
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,029
When the King comes
across the water again,...
734
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,434
..we'll see him hung.
735
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,829
Your Lordship will not regret
leaving this matter in my hands.
736
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,077
I have some knowledge of how best
to bring such rogues to heel.
737
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,317
Broken but not dead, Archibald.
That is all I ask.
738
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,670
Broken but not dead.
739
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,149
It has a ring to it.
740
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,349
Your health.
741
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,512
Goodbye!
742
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,670
Instead of spying them out,
we should lay for them...
743
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,633
..and cut them down
as they come through the passes.
744
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,479
Aye, a wee war with Montrose
would suit us fine.
745
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:46,999
Listen, Alasdair Roy.
746
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,795
Keep your watch, give warning,
and stay your hand,...
747
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:52,876
..or you'll answer to me.
748
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,553
Damn that McDonald
has brought this on us.
749
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,352
I never trusted the man.
750
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,835
Always at Rob's arse like a collie dog.
751
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,428
Morag had a dream on him.
Saw him drowned.
752
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:10,958
Maybe his ship sank...
753
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,355
..and him loaded down with the theft.
