What are you actually doing here?
- Got to be somewhere. - Yeah, but...
why this place?
Ley lines.
Lines of ancient energy that pass through time and space.
There's one that starts in Stirling,
travels west with the sun,
through these woods, the loch...
out onto the Firth of Lorne.
You're so taking the piss.
Telling me that you can't feel it.
Feel what?
In the trees.
All around.
You know in horror movies, you get portals to another dimension?
This place is like that.
Except it leads inside of you.
Everyone who comes here...
comes here for a reason.
To have a boring holiday?
People come here to confront something within themselves.
What are you confronting?
Whatever it is...
it's in a bothy.
Just that way.
What's in there?
Too scared to go in.
You're just winding me up, right?
Yeah.
I'm winding you up.
I need to get back.
So you don't need to go sneaking around cabins.

I can smell the weed on you.
If you're going to smoke that shite, at least be subtle about it.
Have you done this before?
Just... be normal.
Alex, is that you?
- Yeah. - Number one or number two?
Where do you go at night?
Nowhere.
_
It's actually mental we have to share a room at our age.
Well, you can still go in with me, and your dad can go in with Alex.
Yeah, that would totally be the dream.
Amir's at an all-inclusive in Tenerife.
Swimming pool, buffet in the morning,
all this really delicious food,
wakeboarding, windsurfing...
Good for Amir.
Not so good for the planet. Think of the footprint.
He's imagining the girls in bikinis.
Yeah. That's exactly what I'm imagining... over my cereal.
The girls there would take one look at your pasty legs and run a mile.
Yeah, well, they wouldn't be pasty if I was there, would they?
You were so not born to tan.
Well, you can blame your dad for that one.
I tan.
I do. I go a nice olive.
What kind of person goes on holiday without Wi-Fi?
Maybe the type of person that wants to spend quality time with family.
Did you just use the phrase "quality time"?
I'm going to take the kayak out.
Great idea. I might join you.
Actually, Dad, is it all right if I go on my own?
I was hoping for a bit of headspace.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Clear your head. Good idea.
It's about time I got dressed.
What?
He likes doing stuff with you.
Yeah, well, I'll go with him another time.
OK, right, can you help me with the clearing up, please?
What is this, the 1970s house?
OK, I'll do it on my own.
God, such a martyr.
Don't speak to me like that.
OK, folks, we're going to switch up the pairs.
Michael, you're with Shanika.
Alex, go with Kayleigh.
And, Baxter, you're with Elliot, all right?
Nice cell structure.
Alexi boy, pure perving over Kayleigh, are we?
Nice shoes.
Hi.
Are you, like, into trees or something?
I'm not into them. I just... like a good tree.
What makes a good tree?
Are you making fun of me?
No. No, I-I want to know.
One day, I might find myself in a life-or-death situation
where I have to identify a good tree.
That could definitely happen,
if you were captured by some rogue arborists.
Oh, my God.
A tree like this has been around for decades.
Suppose it speaks of the passing of time.
That's really beautiful.
Why are you talking to me?
Because we sit next to each other in science.
Yeah, but you've never actually spoken to me before.
Outside of class, I mean.
You've never spoken to me either.
You do realise you're quite intimidating?
- Me? - Yeah.
I am so not intimidating.
You so are. You and your... Goth gang.
Goth gang?
I remember saying hello to you in the lunch queue about a year ago,
and you literally looked at me as if I was an alien.
Well, that's cos you are an alien, Tree boy.
So, how come you've never been out with anyone at school?
Just never...
I've never really...
Well, I-I don't know. I just haven't.
You do like girls? I mean, it's totally fine if you don't.
I-I know it's fine. I just... haven't.
Do you fancy anyone?
Yes... obviously....
Who do you fancy?
Do you fancy me?
Yeah, I... I guess.
Good.
Cos I don't want it to be weird if I kiss you.
Above average.
You're not a good person.
What did you say?
I-I wasn't talking to you.
S-S-Sorry.
What the fuck did you just say?
My mum, she's working at the hospital tomorrow.
She's out all afternoon, all evening,
so if you wanted to come around after school and study...
Yeah, sure.
Cool.
You actually brought folders?
Was I not supposed to?
Come on.
Upstairs?
Have you done this before?
Guess not.
It's fine, really.
Just... be normal.
Where do your mum and dad think you are?
Gone for a walk.
Do they not think that you go for a lot of walks?
If you think they're worried about me, they're not.
You sure about that?
My brother's the one they worry about.
Trouble, is he?
Opposite. He's the golden boy.
Until a few months ago, he could do no wrong.
What happened?
He got into a fight at school.
Now Mum and Dad are freaking out.
I saw him out with his kayak.
Have you been watching us?
I like to know what's going on.
You learn that in the army?
I did, actually.
How old are you?
- How old are you? - I asked first.
I'm 17.
Well, I'm more than double that.
I've got a daughter that's a little bit younger than you.
What's her name?
Kerr.
I don't see her much.
How come?
I'm not with her mum any more.
- No kidding. - No...
In truth, I find it hard to be around people.
Yet here you are.
How do you mean?
Out of all the places you could have chosen to set up camp,
you put yourself right next to a bunch of holiday homes.
I'd call that a bit of a paradox.
Well, where else am I going to get my organic soup?
You're pretty observant, do you know that?
I have my moments.
Where's your dad live? You don't have any pictures of him.
We don't really see him any more.
You know, you don't need to say if you don't want to.
OK.
Christmas the year before last,
there was this guy who went a bit weird
and he started shouting at people in a shopping centre.
Took a pee in Santa's grotto.
It was on the local news.
That was your dad?
He had a psychotic episode.
So...
he got sectioned,
and he's off his section now and he doesn't want to see us.
Don't tell anyone that, please.
That's kind of the reason why I left school, moved.
I was bullied, for it.
You know...
my dad invested all of him and Mum's money
into this crypto business his mate started.
- Crypto? - Yeah.
But the worst of it is, Mum didn't know he was going to do it.
And then it turned out this guy
wasn't quite as good a friend as he thought.
They lost all their savings.
Do you think that something happens to your brain when you have kids?
Jesus.
I mean, you'd think there wasn't any hope for any of us.
Do you have a girlfriend or anything?
Boys at my school are really immature.
Not that they're into me.
They fancied my pal Jamila.
She's really pretty.
She was my only real friend, you know.
Someone who gets you.
But she moved to fucking New Zealand.
Listen to me,
going on about my stupid problems like they matter.
Do they matter to you?
Yeah, obviously.
Well, then they are important, aren't they?
It's not like I've been shot at or anything.
It's not a competition.
You know, you're not supposed to have big problems at your age.
You don't need to go looking for them.
They'll come soon enough.
- This your wife? - Found it.
You found it?
You know that woman in the cabin near you, she runs a lot?
Oh, my God, she's so intense. She actually freaks me out.
She set fire to it and dropped it in a tree stump.
- What do you think she was doing? - I don't know.
Are you not curious?
Do you think she might have murdered her,
she's tried to dispose of the evidence?
You shouldn't joke about stuff like that.
Can I keep it?
- If you want. - Cool.
You know, I'm not really 17.
I'm 15.
Does that bother you?
Should it?
People tell me I look older.
When you said there was something in the air...
in the loch...
the bothy,
you were telling the truth, weren't you?
There is something.
Did you go in?
Did you see something?
I don't want to talk about it.
- Did you, though? - Take the fucking hint!
I don't want to talk about it!
Yeah?
I'm making a tea. Do you want one?
No, thanks. Is Dad around?
He went for a walk.
What is that?
Found it in the woods. Why?
Why have you got someone's burnt passport?
It was lying around. I picked it up.
What's the big deal anyway? It's just a stupid passport.
I just wish you would think things through.
What?
- Nothing I ever do is right, is it? - What?
What would it take for you to notice me?
If I got pregnant? If I died?
Maybe you'd pay attention to me then. Get out of my room.
- OK. - Get out!
OK!
Bye.
Seeing Kayleigh, then?
- Been keeping an eye out, have you? - I'm pleased for you.
Hear you finally popped your cherry.
You know she only got off with you for a dare?
- Sure. - Andrea said.
Her and her mates thought you were a bit of weirdo,
and she dared Kayleigh to get off with you.
Is this supposed to be some kind of mind game or something?
Fine, don't believe me.
Ask her yourself.
Tree boy.
Alex, you're late.
OK. Everyone, continue on with your worksheets,
- and don't forget to take notes... - Hi.
Hi.
Everything OK?
Why wouldn't it be?
Could you pass me the solution?
Have I done something?
Did you get off with me as a dare?
Conor told me Andrea dared you.
If I asked her, what would she say?
OK.
She said those words, but it was a joke.
- Getting off with me was a joke? - An excuse for me to talk to you.
- You needed an excuse to talk to me? - You're twisting everything I'm saying!
Did you tell her I lost my virginity to you?
OK.
We talk about stuff, OK? I thought she was my friend.
I thought you were my friend.
- Lovers' tiff, is it? - Shut the fuck up, Conor.
Everything all right over there?
It's so not a big deal, OK?
I don't know why you're making such a thing of it.
Would you be OK if I told everyone your dad
was on the fucking news having a fucking breakdown?
Sorry. I... I didn't... I didn't mean to say that.
I am here, you know.
I'm trying to give you space, Alex, but you're giving me nothing.
Why won't you talk to me about what's going on?
What do you mean?
Getting into fights.
It wasn't a fight.
You got a suspension.
Look, I know it's to do with this girl you were seeing.
You didn't even tell us you had a girlfriend.
You don't tell us anything.
Is it to do with me and your dad?
The money?
Are you going to split up?
No!
- Of course not. - Because if you are, me and Becky will be all right.
You OK?
Aye.
You?
So, Kayleigh,
I hear your old man's a big fan of Christmas?
- Shut up, Conor. - You're the one who said it.
Just shut the fuck up, all right?
Guys, concentrate on your work.
Is that what turns you on about tree boy?
He's as much of a freak as your old man?
What did you fucking say?
Stop it! Stop! Stop it!
Kayleigh, I'm sorry.
Debbie, grab the first-aid kit off the wall.
Take Kayleigh to reception. Let them know what's happened.
Conor, you all right?
Alex, you need to come with me.
I might go to the pub and have a coke.
Or a beer, if they'll serve you.
Why not? It's what I would do if I was your age.
It's a bit different now, Dad.
Can I come... for a coke?
Sure.
Do you reckon they'll get a divorce?
Mum said they wouldn't.
You asked her?
Yeah, well,
she was asking why I was such a fuck-up at the minute
and was wondering if it was anything to do with her and Dad, so...
That was her exact words?
Yeah, that was her exact words.
Remember when everyone's parents got divorced but ours didn't?
Yeah, it was so weird.
Kind of cool, though..
Did you really tell people about Kayleigh's dad?
How do you know about that?
Everyone knows about that.
Yeah, Mum and Dad don't.
Yeah, not parents, obviously.
Do you know what she did to me?
Going out with you for a dare?
It's fucking humiliating.
Did she really, though?
I mean, people say stuff they don't mean.
I could tell that everyone was looking at me
and thinking what a simp I am.
And I know you shouldn't care about what people think about you,
but you just do, don't you?
I'm a fucking coward.
I don't think you are.
I just think you should have done better.
Do you want another lemonade?
I'm meeting someone.
Who?
Someone I met.
He's staying here.
He's staying in the bar?
We've been hanging out a bit.
Playing pool and that.
Cool.
He's really nice...
but his parents are quite strict.
We just hang out.
Don't tell Mum and Dad.
They wouldn't mind, would they?
I just don't like them in my business.
Going to be safe, yeah?
Course I am.
I'm not stupid.
Hi.
Can I stay?
_
Alex asked if we were going to split up.
I said no.
Would you have said no?
Yes. I mean, no, I... I'd have said no.
Yeah.
I've made such a mess of things.
He'll be OK.
He used to look at me like I was a giant.
It's not the end of the world. He still loves you.
He's just realised that you're a bit of a twat.
Oh, thanks.
Very welcome.
Do you think I'm a bit of a twat?
Like, do you think I'm the reason he's been acting up?
Don't answer.
It's not the money.
It's the fact that you invested it without telling me.
It's like I'm not here is how it feels.
I saw you flirting with that woman across the way.
Come on. I just offered to help her with her picture frame.
So, you're telling me that you do not find her attractive?
Well, that's a no-win question if I've ever heard one.
What am I supposed to say?
No. You're supposed to say no.
Good, cos the answer's no.
No, I don't find her...
I don't find her the least bit attractive.
I find you attractive.
I do.
You can laugh all you want, but I do.
It's annoying to me that I'm still charmed by you.
It's not annoying to me.
Well, you always did have a weak character.
Shut up.
I love you.
So much.
I suppose I love you, too.
The kids are going to be fine. We're going to be fine.
Things just got a wee bit rocky, no more than that.
You forget how much courage it takes just to keep going at that age.
At any age.
Yeah.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
What was it like in the army?
Good.
Most of the time.
It suited me, and the other boys.
The banter, the training...
I loved it.
What about when you went to fight?
I'd rather not talk about that.
Were you ever scared?
I was.
Is that why you joined?
How do you mean?
Because it frightened you.
I wanted to punish my mother.
What for?
Marrying my father.
My father frightened me.
And I think that I wanted
to make people feel the same way that I did.
Did you kill people?
I did.
Did they deserve it?
Some of 'em.
Were they all soldiers that you killed?
I don't know.
In the bothy, what you saw...
was it to do with the war?
No.
I think you're like me.
In what way?
You're lonely.
But you don't have to be.
I don't think anyone deserves to be lonely.
I feel like I can tell you things.
Things I can't tell other people.
You know, you can tell me things, too.
I'm good at keeping secrets.
Do you like me?
I suppose so.
So, how come you won't look at me?
_
What do you know about a man living in the woods?
Some people said they saw you together.
Do you think he had something to do with the fire?
