Keeping her distance, and with the use of her CCTV cameras, she follows the face and the man and she finally decides to confront him. It is here that past lives are once again entwined and reconciliations are aired.

Sit down.

Cheers. You don't want to sit here?

No.

How do you know him, anyway?

We just met

along the road.

Outside the flat?

Just at the pub.

He's charming

for a ginger c*nt.

He's some guy.

Aye, you can say that again.

I'm surprised he's not tempted

to do what he did before.

What would that be?

Just all his dodgy stuff.

What's your name?

Who the f*** wants to hire

a locksmith who's been in jail?

So what's with the whisky?

Is that a make-up thing, like?

A make-up thing?

He was raging when you left.

I guess so.

You want to feel the wind?

Feel what?

The wind up here's f***ing brilliant.

Come on, I'll show you.

April, come here, babe.

Your purse.

Come here a minute.

Come here. I'll show you.

Come here a minute.

Come here, babe.

Here. Right in. Right.

You need to get right in.

Ready?

- F***ing quality.

- It's quite high.

Oh, God!

Put her down.

You all right?

April, I was having a laugh with you.

Wasn't f***ing funny.

You scared her.

What the f*** do you mean?

I wasn't going to drop her, was I?

- I think you'd better go.

- Yeah.

So who will I say come round?

It's cool. I'll give him a call.

I'll just say

the bird with the nice arse,

he calls you.

April,

come here a minute.

Sorry, I can't find my purse.

Sh*t.

Thieving little...

Hi, Angus.

It's Jackie.

Sorry,

I'm not feeling well.

Would you get

somebody to cover for me?

OK.

Bye.

Are you lost?

No, I'm all right.

- Glass of wine, please.

- Certainly.

Is that all?

- Yeah, thanks.

- That'll be 1 .75, please.

Thanks very much.

Enjoy your drink.

I heard you came looking for me.

- I did.

- That's nice.

Cos I've been

thinking about you.

Oh, yeah?

I have this feeling

that I've met you before.

Is that right?

But I can't work it out.

Look at me.

I need you to look at me.

So, let me think.

Do you live round here?

Where do you live?

Maryhill.

So what you doing here?

I'm meeting a friend.

Where is she?

How do you know it's a she?

Is it a boyfriend, then?

No. A friend.

Where is your friend?

I don't know. Late, I guess.

So we can get to know each other

while you're waiting.

I've also been thinking other things.

Do you want to know

what I've been thinking?

Ask me.

What have you been thinking?

What your c*nt tastes like.

Are you shocked?

No. Nothing much shocks me.

Did you like me saying it?

I've also been thinking a lot

about you.

That's good.

You've had an interesting life.

Who's been telling you about my life?

Stevie.

He doesn't know sh*t about my life.

You've lived a certain way.

You've done stuff.

You live on the edge.

Is that right?

Do I look like I do?

Do you?

Clyde!

Where have you been hiding?
