Yeah, I'll send it over to you when I get there. Not without wifi I can't, it's huge. Look, okay, shut up, I can't. I have forgotten my charger, so I had to buy one of these shitty pay-as-you-go drug dealer ones. - Oi, we're in the quiet zone, love, can you not read? - I'm gonna change over, save some battery, so let me give you the new number here. Zero, seven, seven, zero. (camera snaps) Zero, nine, zero. (dark tones) Four, five, eight. Yeah, I am getting the death stare here, so I'm gonna call you later, okay? Okay, ciao! Ciao. What? What? No one cares. (sighs) I... Promise... Never to make noise in the quiet zone again. (women laugh) (women laugh) You obviously don't get lesbians in bonny Scotland, no? (women laugh) Just sheep. And alcoholism. Yeah, yeah. She's rented a fuckin' ship, Larry. She's actually fucking rented a ship. How's she gonna relax in that? I've dropped 30K on this fucking IVF, and now she's pretending to be Captain Ahab. (men laugh) (dark piano music) Ah, what the fuckin' hell. - Looks like I've found the party boat then, aye? - Yeah, go on. Okay, call him back. Well listen, just make it, I really need your help on this. Oh, hang on. Don't worry, I'll get that. Well, you've got to call him! Larry, our relationship is absolutely fucked. I have to get off this phone, I have to look after her. Hello? HellO, hello? Fuck. Hello, can you hear me? Hello? Hello? - You sure you know what you're doin'? I mean, I'll skipper, if you like. - [Woman In Yellow] It's okay, I've sailed before. - Fine, that's fine. Here, wifi password. - Ah, I'm sorry about that. It was causin' all sorts of bother. Constantly on the blink, so just did away with it, like. - What did he say? Larry? For fuck sake! (sighs) Larry? (groans) - You said. You told me you'd checked. - Aye, we need to get that sorted, to be fair. Constantly breakin' down and that. We tried for a bit, but it was a nightmare, so we just fucked off in the end. - Fuck sake! - Claire, we'll find somewhere. - [Claire] Why would you fuckin' put it on your website, if you didn't have it? - Sorry, love. You'll no need wifi out there, 60 miles of pure solitude. Majestic, man. Fuckin' majestic, you'll love it. Take care of her now. Have fun, darlings, okay? (folksy string music) - Hello!

Just asking if there's wifi. - I'm only jokin', darlin'. There's no wifi here, is there, Kel? - No, sorry. That's four pounds, 29. - [Man] You'd be lucky findin' a hi-fi, nevermind a fuckin' wifi up here, you know what I mean? (chuckles) - (chuckles) Thanks. - Enjoyin' the boat, Louise, yeah? - Oh, yeah, it's lovely. Keep the change. - "Keep the change?" Fuck sake, Kel, first time you've heard that, eh? Hey, enjoy your drink, darlin'. Careful not to spill any of it on your wee computer there. Your wee laptop. - Hey, can you just put it away? 'Cause everyone is looking at us. - (chuckles) Everyone is not looking at us. (man chuckles) (claps) Now they're looking at us. - Christ almighty. I'm off to London, me.

(Louise coughs) Oh, Lou. - [Louise] Leave me alone. (distant bell tolls) - I'm worried about you. Have you seen my iPad? - [Louise] No. - [Claire] I've got so much fuckin' stuff on it. - [Old Woman] Hello! - [Louise] Hi. - I was at the pub last night. - Yes, I remember you. - Mary. - [Louise] I'm Louise. - We're not all the same. - No, of course not. - Here. - Thank you. - You have a lovely day. - Thank you so much.

(stag growls) (camera snaps) (dark tones) (heartbeat thuds) (dark atmospheric music) (bell tolls) (bell tolls) (bell tolls) (bell tolls) (boat horn blares) (music intensifies) What the fuck are they doin'? Speed up a bit. Would you speed up a bit? What're you doin'? - [Louise] If they wanted to do anything, they'd just get out and walk. - They're just bein' fuckin' arseholes. (boat horn blares) - It's fine. - It's not fuckin' fine, look! They're gonna crash into us. (boat horn blares) - No, they're slowing down. - They're not slowin' down! (boat horn blares) (sighs) They've stopped. Think we're okay. (boat horn blares) Oh, fuckin' hell. (tense music) (boat horn blares) - Stop. (boat horn blares) Take over from here. Pass that. - Okay? - Yep. - [Claire] That's the prick from the pub. - [Louise] They haven't done anything wrong. - [Claire] Why are you sticking up for strangers? They're fucking weirdos, this whole place is full of them. - [Louise] This trip is really important to me, Claire. - [Claire] And it's not for me? Fuck off. I fucking love you but I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with fucking weirdos! - [Louise] Don't go. (peaceful acoustic guitar music) Please don't leave me. I need you. (ominous tones) (faint snarls) (somber atmospheric music) - I love you. Coming up on our right, the Well of Seven Heads. An obelisk topped with a sculptured hand holding seven severed heads. In 1663, Alexander, the 13th chief of the McGavern clan, took it upon himself to hunt down the followers of the pagan god of fertility, Cernunnos. These seven disciples stole the newborns from all corners of the land. (dark tones) Pure blood would rejuvenate the soil and deliver riches. The spirit of Cernunnos is said to still walk the woodlands and glades, sacrificing bairns in sanctified burial grounds. (dark tones) Blah, blah, blah. Their ken, known as loners or hillbillies, can still be found in parts of the Highlands today. I think I need another drink. (boat horn blares) - Fucking hell. (boat horn blares) - That pregnant bitch has got my iPad. That is my iPad. Oh my god, that is all of my work! Lou, that is my fucking iPad! Lou, turn the boat round. Lou! (dark atmospheric music) Where are you goin'? - [Louise] Stay with the boat. Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? Hello? (flies buzz) (groans) (ominous tones) (dark tones) (muffled chatter) (ominous chord) - Oh, fuck. (suspenseful music) - Oh my god, you are like the best woman in the world. You're like a genuine action hero or somethin'. Jesus, Lou, Lou, what've you done? - Just get the fucking ropes, I'm fine. (water sprays) (sighs) Oh, shit. (pants) (knocks) - Are you alright, Lou? Lou? (knocks) Are you alright? - Yeah, it's fine. - What happened over there? - Just drive the boat. (sighs) (somber orchestral music) - Are you sure you're okay? - Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. (dark tones) (distant thunder rumbles) (phone bleeps) (distant thunder rumbles) (phone bleeps) (phone bleeps) (somber acoustic guitar music) (phone bleeps and vibrates) (phone bleeps and vibrates) - How is it? - Fine. - I really, really need wifi. (dark orchestral music) (suspenseful music) (distant animal calls) (water splashes) (water splashes) Louise? (water splashes) (distant bird squawks) (dark atmospheric music) Oh, my god.

You're okay, you're okay. Okay. (dark atmospheric music) (dark tones) (squelches) They're here. Bring the doll, let's go. Come on. - Please, Claire, be careful. - I will. Hiya. I'm Claire, this is Louise. - Alright? - Are your mom or dad around? - They're around but you can't speak to them. - [Claire] Why not? - It's private time now. - Is this your girlfriend's? - She's not my girlfriend. - Well, whoever she is, is she around? - My sister. - [Man] Loki! Loki! (sister hums melodically) - What were you doin' outside our boat last night? What do you want? You lookin' for somethin' else to steal? Great. Well. Bye, then. - [Donny] It's rude to go on other people's boats, by the way. - Rude? - Claire. - Rude? We don't want any trouble. But that is my iPad. My fuckin' iPad. Cheeky little fuckin' prick. (dark atmospheric music) (phone bleeps) You are so hot. Look, why don't we go to that spa in Inverness? We can totally relax and call the clinic. - No. We have to see Loch Ness. And the Whispering Falls. - Lou, you're not well. You're not right. Sweetheart. - It worked. I'm pregnant. Second time lucky. - Oh, my god. God, oh my god, come here. (laughs) Oh, my baby. (suspenseful music) (phone bleeps) (faint snarls) (faint string music) - Oh, I'm sorry, darlin'. There be no doctor between here and Inverness. - Well, is there a road nearby, or do you have a taxi number, maybe? - The road is miles through the trees. You'll not get one to come out here. What is it? - Louise, she's ill and she's got a cut on her arm. - Wait, I'll come with you. - Oh, no, that's okay. - No, it's no bother. - Honestly. Honestly, I just need to get some reception, I'm... (Mary laughs) - You've a wee bit of septicemia, darling. Now. You like honey? - Yes. - Highland bees and highland heather. Nature's antibiotic. - Thank you. - You're bound to feel a bit out of sorts. Now. Oh, I'm sorry. There we are. That's right. I've looked after lots of girls like you. In the natural way. - Do you think maybe we need to call a doctor? - Oh, no, no. She just needs rest. And love.
