Big Trouble in Little Edinburgh: Max & Jake Come Home in ‘Guilt’s Season 3 Premiere
Guilt’s Season 3 premiere catches up with self-serving, shady Max McCall (Mark Bonnar) a year after setting up mobster Roy Lynch (Stuart Bowman) to be killed and escaping Edinburgh. Max and his dopey brother Jake (Jamie Sives) live above Jake’s bar in Chicago. Even farther from the cushy life Max led before covering up vehicular manslaughter and getting in too deep with mobsters, his apartment is a trash heap, and he’s got mice for roommates.
He keeps the books at the bar, which is failing spectacularly. Jake blames Max, who points out that the bar was failing before he arrived; he just didn’t know it. Jake and Angie (Ruth Bradley) are still together, but Angie is fed up with their broke existence, her night shift job, and Jake’s zany schemes to make the bar successful. She tries to break up with him but Jake insists he’ll make things better.
Jake discovers Max is running a scheme, having accumulated $300 grand in credit using the bar as collateral. Jake announces plans to run away with Angie, who was apparently playing the long game: she skips out with Jake’s money, siccing ICE officers on them as she leaves. The brothers get deported.
