The award-winning Scottish thriller “Guilt” returns with another gripping episode on PBS. In “You Can Take the Boy Out of Leith“, Max and Jake find themselves on the run as they seek refuge in the Highlands. However, with Teddy hot on their trail, will they ever be able to escape their past?
“Guilt” centres on two polar opposite brothers, Max and Jake McCall, who get involved in a hit-and-run and find themselves entangled in a web of secrets and lies. The series, created by Neil Forsyth, explores the complex dynamics between siblings and the pervasive theme of guilt. With its dark humour and twist-filled plot, “Guilt” has garnered critical acclaim and a devoted fan base.
In this week’s episode, Max and Jake’s quest for safety leads them to the Highlands, where they seek refuge with a familiar face. However, their respite is short-lived as Teddy, a menacing figure from their past, is on their trail. As the brothers struggle to stay one step ahead, the stakes are raised even further when Scotland’s national bank is put up for sale, presenting an opportunity that Maggie, a formidable presence in Edinburgh’s underworld, is determined to seize.
Starring Mark Bonnar as the unscrupulous lawyer Max McCall and Jamie Sives as his softer-hearted brother Jake, “Guilt” boasts a talented ensemble cast. The series also features Emun Elliott as Kenny Burns, a long-suffering private eye, and Phyllis Logan as Maggie Lynch, a powerful figure in the criminal underworld.
With its blend of dark humour, compelling characters, and twist-filled narrative, “Guilt” continues to cement its place as one of the best Scottish television dramas of recent years.
