Based on: Young Adam

In 1954 Scotland, shiftless young drifter Joe Taylor works on a coal barge which operates from Glasgow, on the River Clyde, along the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals to Edinburgh.

Les returns and initially senses an atmosphere between Joe and Ella, although when Ella snaps at him he changes the subject back to Cathy.

This causes an argument between them, in which Cathy reveals she has been seeing another man, a plumber called Dan.
