Saving Grace Page #2

you would say that.

Why?

Grace, you are the best

gardener in the world.

I've got some plants

that are really sick.

They desperately need help.

Well. where are they?

What?

Ah hhgh!

Shh.

Why are you

whispering?

I don't want to wake up

any squirrels. Just through here.

In here.

Are these

Gerald's plants?

No, no.

They're mine.

I think I may have

overwatered them.

I'm not stupid.

Matthew.

I know what this is.

What is it?

Hemp.

Is it?

Aye, it's hemp.

Well. they're not

getting enough light.

They're never going

to grow in the dark.

I didn't really want

anybody to see them.

Well. you wouldn't,

would you?

No.

Now, if you want

these poor things to grow,

they need some decent soil

and some better light,

Okay, thanks.

Come on. then...

Let's take one back

to the greenhouse,

see what we can do.

You may not

want to do that.

I'm a gardener.

These are sick plants.

All right.

Come on!

Quick, quick!

Where have you been?

It's brilliant, Nicky.

I've saved the plants.

How?

I called in an expert.

Who?

The best gardener

in the world.

Grace.

Grace?

Yeah. It's fantastic.

She's doing it

as compensation for

having to lay me off.

Isn't that nice?

I don't know.

What do you mean.

you don't know?

Hasn't she got enough problems

without getting into drugs?

What are you talking

about, drugs ??

Matthew, you know

what I'm talking about.

It's still illegal.

She's very vulnerable

just now.

He you're not

taking advantage of her.

I'm doing this for us!

Is this your way

of saying thanks?

No.

I've got

a much better way.

Congratulations.

Mr. Stewart.

You are tonight's

lucky Scotsman.

Well. I either am

or I'm not.

No, no, you definitely

are pregnant indeed.

Is that a good thing?

Yes.

Yeah.

it's brilllant.

Any idea

who the father is?

I think Iknow.

I looked at the test slldes.

Some of the chromosomes

had littlekilts on them.

Very funny.

I do have

some bad news. though.

What?

There's a slight risk

of ginger hair.

Piss off.

How are

all our plants doing?

Oh. um...

He's called in

an expert.

Oh. Sounds good.

Look, don't mention

the baby yet, okay?

I just want

to tell him

when the time

is right.

What baby?

Have a sweetie.

Will she live,

Doctor?

I think so.

Where did these seeds

come from?

Guy in a pub

in Bodmin.

No.

I mean.

what kind are they?

Oh. They're indica

sativa hybrids.

Purple haze with early pearl

crossed with ruderalls.

Yes. well. anyway,

they're designed to grow

in a very sunny climate.

If you say so.

Is it the bud

the bit you're after?

Yeah.

Look.

What is it?

That's the start

of a new bud.

You did that

in 24 hours?

You're a witch.

Oh. it's not me, really.

It's just a question

of having enough light.

No light, no buds.

Simple.

Yes?

Hello. Is it all right

if I park there?

Yes.

Dogs?

Dogs?

Dogs.

Do you have dogs?

Postmen and surveyors.

irresistible to our canine friends.

No, there's no dogs.

Good o.

Oh. yes. yes. yes.

Fabulous home.

Can I help you?

No, no. I'm fine on me own.

Tea's always nice.

I'm sorry, I don'tknow

why you're here.

I think you've come

to the wrong house.

Oh. I'm sorry.

NigeI Plimpton.

Trevethan?

Liac house?

Evaluation for Ramptons

Re debts Outstanding?

It's standard procedure before

a house is put up for auction.

But the house

isn't up for auction.

Ah...

Well. I'm afraid

it will be.

U h. here, look.

Pele in... your position

often st ening

their mail.

so I'm the first real proof

it's all happening.

I think I'd like you

to leave, please.

Well. I'm sorry.

I can't.

I really must

do this.

I'd like you

to leave as well.

Call the office

to reschedule.

Thank you.

Ramptons is an enormous

investment trust.

John's syndicate

took a huge tumble.

I had no idea

he had business interests

in the city.

Yes. but how much

do I owe them?

If you don't pay

the money owing.

they can claim

any or all

of your assets.

And this. of course,

would include

the house.

How much

do I owe them. Melvyn?

300.000.

Approximately.

Bastard.

Matthew?

Yeah?

You know that plant

I'm looking after for you?

U h huh.

How much

is it worth?

Oh. it hasn't died.

has it?

No, no, no.

It's thriving.

I just, um...

wondered how much

you'd get for it.

Ounce for ounce,

the really good stuff's

worth more than gold.

Greenhouse.

Now!

Okay.

Here's what I think.

We take cuttings

from the mother plant,

root the cuttings and grow them

under lights. hydronically,

go straight to budding.

We could have the first

harvest in a matter of weeks.

I could clear what you need

in the first run. probably more.

Could do it

in the time you've got.

You haven't given it

any thought, then?

You can't tell anybody.

All things bright

and beautiful

All creatures

great and small...

It's just started.

We've got at least

an hour.

...the Lord God

made them all...

Sorry.

Oh. do be reasonable.

That piece

is worth that alone.

I'm being very fair,

Mrs. T.

Very good price

I'm giving you.

Well.

it's daylight robbery.

What else have you got?

Come up and see me

make me smile

I'll do what you want

running wild...

There's nothing left

all gone and run away

Maybe you'll tarry

for a while...

Is it this

blue one, Jack?

That's right.

It's just a test

a game for us to play...

Hi. Grace.

Hello, Nicky.

I haven't seen you

for days.

You okay?

Yes. Busy.

What are you doing?

Building a fence,

keep out the rabbits.

With electrical wire?

It's electric fence.

Okay. Is Matt

up at the house?

It's just I've got to

see him about something.

No, he's out.

He's...

looking for a transformer...

for the electric fence.

If you do see him.

will you tell him

that I'll meet him

in the pub at 7:
00?

Yeah. righty o.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Good book, is it?

Oh. Jackie Colllns.

I'm reading a kafka

at the moment.

Not very funny.

Except the one

about that bloke

that turns into a beetle.

That's a bit wacky.

Wouldn't get anybody

turning into a beetle

in a Jackie Colllns.

Might get someone

sleeping with a beetle.

He wrapped her up

in his stick like arms.

all six of them.

tapping her sensuously

on the head

with his wiggly woggly

aerials.

That's it.

If he comes in now,

tell him I left in a huff.

All right, love.

' N ight.

Probably lying on your couch

at home asleep.

Yeah.

you're right.

Sorry.

It gives me

great pleasure

to ask Dame Reggae Spllff

of Port Llac

to switch on this year's

illumination.

Thank you.

When I die
