Saving Grace Page #2

Synopsis: A widow discovers after her husband's suicide that he has mortgaged everything they own and the banks are ready to foreclose. Faced with impending doom and little working knowledge except her ability to grow plants, she struggles to save her home. Enter her gardener, who is struggling to make a few marijuana plants grow in a hidden location and suggests that she use her green house to help grow the plants and sell them to make the money both need. He is wanting to get married, but needs capital. What he doesn't know is that his girl friend is pregnant and thus fears that they will be busted for growing marijuana. While supposedly working, the whole village is well aware of the endeavor and is hoping for their success. When the plants come in, Grace takes the crop to London and tries to sell it to a ruthless, but charming drug dealer. Everything busts loose from there.

There's nothing.

What in God's name

am I going to do?

You all right?

You look peaked.

Fine. I'm...

just a bit hung over.

Did we drink that much?

I can't remember.

Uhh...

God. you're really ill.

You never get hangovers.

I'll be fine

once I get on the boat.

I don't think you

should go to work.

I think you should

see the doctor.

I can't see anyone

without an appointment.

Tea?

Yes. please.

Hey, what are you doing?

Get off of there!

Given your recent troubles.

we rather thought

you'd want to cancel.

It's only a tea party.

We could have it anywhere.

But we always

have it here.

It's tradition.

I've been working

on a new hybrid

Phalansis pathedilum.

It's beautiful.

All right, ladies.

back to business.

Do we invite Dr. Bamford.

given his disgraceful

display last year?

No!

Come on. sir,

off the mower!

What's going on?

Afternoon. Mrs. Trevethan.

Hello, Bob, Terry.

How's your mum's hip?

Oh. much better,

thanks.

They want to take

the lawn mower.

Well. it's not us.

It's the finance company.

There haven't been

any payments.

Well. you better

take it, then.

I'm really sorry.

Matthew.

Matthew, you don't

have to do this.

It's allright.

You've paid me

to the end of the week.

I don't believe he even lied

about the lawn mower.

He lied

about everything.

Couldn't you

get a job?

What could I do?

Well.

you could...

You want a cup of tea

or something?

No, thank you.

Matthew... I'm really

sorry about your job.

Oh. that's

all right.

You're gonna have

to get a goat.

If there's anything

else I can do?

Actually, I was hing

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.
