-Yes. Alright?

-Listen, have you got time

-to come over?

-I'd like to talk to you

-about something.

-In private.

-Now?

-Great.

-Yes, OK. Ta-ra.

-Can Esther have some cake?

-No, there's far too much sugar

-in that.

-She'll love it.

-And give Gethin another reason

-to stop us adopting her? No.

-Sheryl, you can't let him

-spoil this for you.

-He's a sly toerag.

-Social Services won't be interested

-in what he has to say.

-The thought of someone thinking

-we're not good parents is hurtful.

-I thought Gethin was a friend.

-Sher, you're a wonderful mother.

-Anyone can see that.

-Can they?

-It feels like I'm being watched,

-as if I'm on trial.

-Don't let him win.

-Hey, do you fancy taking Esther

-swimming this morning?

-She'd enjoy it.

-She'd enjoy it.

-

-No, I want to go home.

-We're not going to hide, Sheryl.

-We're not going to hide, Sheryl.

-

-Please.

-Hiya, Megan.

-Hey, are you going to say hello

-to Auntie Megan?

-Hello.

-Watch your scarf, Megan.

-She loves those.

-Yes, and shoes!

-Do you both remember there's

-a festival committee tomorrow night?

-I hope to see you both there.

-I hope to see you both there.

-

-Yes, of course.

-Um, can we go now, please?

-Look, about this letter.

-There's been a misunderstanding.

-I didn't send it.

-You admitted it last week.

-I know...

-I know...

-

-Can we go, please?

-Please, just let me explain.

-You explained enough in your letter.

-Keep out of my way.

-Thanks.

-I don't understand

-how those two were allowed to adopt.

-The rules aren't as strict

-as they were, obviously.

-They're stricter than ever, Megan.

-So there must have been a mistake.

-What do you mean?

-Well...

-..they've given Sheryl a baby...

-..though her son doesn't even live

-in the same country as her.

-There aren't enough hours in a day

-to list Hywel Llywelyn's faults.

-Everyone has a past.

-Well, yes,

-but those two have a past...

-..which is far more chequered

-than the rest of us.

-And yet the authorities

-have chosen to dismiss that.

-Can I have a black coffee, please?

-Are you going to court?

-Are you going to court?

-

-No.

-A funeral?

-A funeral?

-

-I've been to see a solicitor.

-Listen, there's no easy way

-for me to say this.

-I'm suing APD.

-For what?

-For what?

-

-I'm serious, Dai.

-You put so much pressure on me

-to pay, it made me ill.

-You were ill before you got the bill

-and I've given you time to pay.

-Only because you feel guilty.

-Listen, Mark, when we agreed

-to do this job a while ago...

-..were you expecting us

-to do it free of charge?!

-No, but I wasn't expecting

-to be bullied.

-Bullying indeed!

-Whichever way you look at it,

-APD made me more ill.

-Can you prove that?

-Can you prove that?

-

-No.

-But my solicitor said I have

-a strong case and I should get...

-Are you alright?

-Are you alright?

-

-No.

-I'm prone to a an attack

-when I'm stressed.

-I need to sit down.

-He took the day off

-for a meeting with Gaynor.

-Why is Garry so interested

-in the new school?

-Who knows? He's been obsessed

-with education lately.

-Do you think he and Gaynor

-have something planned?

-Like what?

-I don't know.

-Do you think a dodgy businessman

-like Garry will boost her image?

-I don't know what her game is.

-Just keep an eye on her.

-A cuppa?

-I don't believe this.

-Hywel's kicking us out.

-What? He can't.

-He's given us a month's notice.

-This is your fault.

-Why did you take the blame

-for that letter?

-I'll phone him.

-I don't want anything from you.

-Please, Dai. You don't look well.

-I don't want to make you ill.

-Don't you? Why? In case I sue you?

-Don't worry,

-I'm not that kind of person.

-I'm a man of principle.

-I don't think you realize

-the damage this could cause.

-This could be the end of APD!

-You won't be at a loss, will you?

-The insurance would pay out.

-It would be win-win.

-How could we be gaining from it?

-Can't you see the damage it would

-do to the company's good name?

-I was looking forward

-to retirement...

-..to give Diane

-the lifestyle she deserves.

-It could disappear like that

-and she'll miss out.

-You're exaggerating now.

-You're exaggerating now.

-

-No, I'm not.

-Diane has been like a mother to you

-since Kath left.

-She bought you and Ricky a holiday

-and this is how you repay her!

-She doesn't deserve it, Mark.

-Let's talk about this properly.

-Let's talk about this properly.

-

-I'm struggling to look at you!

-Can I have a packet of crisps?

-Can I have a packet of crisps?

-

-No, but you can have an apple.

-Hello. Sorry I'm late.

-Hello. Sorry I'm late.

-

-No problem. We've just arrived.

-Hi, Gwern.

-Right, sit down.

-I've been looking through

-his books...

-..and he's having problems

-with spelling.

-I don't know why the school

-didn't let me know.

-What do you want me to do?

-Assess him.

-As the headmistress,

-you should know better than anyone.

-I thought I was here

-about the governing body.

-I don't have much experience

-with children Gwern's age.

-You need some if the 3-18 school

-project goes ahead.

-Right, Gwern, come here.

-I want you...

-..to spell...

-..Cwmderi.

-C-W-M...

-You don't need to do that.

-Putting him on the spot

-won't boost his confidence.

-You need to encourage him,

-not test him.

-You're right.

-Start with something he's good at.

-You like counting, don't you?

-Right, what is...

-..five and two?

-Seven.

-Well done, Gwern.

-I'm sure you've done more than

-enough work for today.

-You want to go and play, don't you?

-Go and play in your room.

-Well?

-He's a lovely boy, Garry.

-So?

-Support is all-important

-for a child Gwern's age...

-..not only with education,

-but in all aspects of life.

-Extracurricular activities

-are very important as well.

-Sport, singing, acting, dancing.

-Dancing?

-Support whatever he enjoys.

-Are you going to make a cuppa so we

-can discuss the governing body?

-I'd say you're used

-to getting your own way.

-What time is it?

-What time is it?

-

-Twenty past.

-He said he'd come straight over.

-He said he'd come straight over.

-

-He'll be here now.

-BUZZER

-Hywel?

-Come up.

-Leave this to me, alright?

-Thanks for coming over.

-I didn't want you at the flat

-upsetting Sheryl and Esther.

-Please don't evict us.

-He should have thought of that

-before what he did.

-There's been a misunderstanding.

-It wasn't me.

-You admitted it last week.

-I was trying to defend

-who I thought it was.

-Who?

-Who?

-

-I can't say. I was wrong anyway.

-You expect me to believe that,

-do you?

-Me. He was trying to defend me.

-How many lies will you tell

-to keep a roof over your heads?

-I'm surprised by you.

-I'm surprised by you.

-

-We're telling the truth!

-Alright, if it wasn't you,

-who was it?

-I don't know.

-I think I know.

-Megan.

-Megan.

-

-Megan?

-You'll stoop as low as that.

-Pointing the finger

-at an innocent old lady?

-Shame on you!

-You need to realize

-what your boyfriend's like.

-If you can see reason,

-you and Arwen can stay...

-..but I want him to move out!

-I'm not pointing the finger.

-You should have heard Megan

-talk about Esther.

-You have no evidence

-so just drop it.

-The governors play a crucial role

-in the school's decision making...

-..such as matters of finance,

-staffing and policies.

-So it involves a lot of power...

-..that's always a good idea.

-As long as you know

-how to use such power.

-I'm an expert.

-I'm an expert.

-

-Will you put your name forward?

-If it's a way

-of supporting Gwern...

-..I want to be part of it.

-Great.

-First, tell me...

-..why me?

-I'm not the ideal candidate

-for the school's image, am I?

-I think we make a good team

-and we can help one another.

-I assume I'll have your support

-if I apply to become head teacher.

-I like your confidence.

-The next step is to be elected.

-Another member of the board

-has to agree, of course, but...

-..I don't see a problem.

-I look forward to the meetings.

-Um, did you sort Eifion out

-in the end?

-Eifion? Of course. I fry

-bigger fish than him for breakfast.

-I can't believe

-he has the nerve to deny it.

-But Gethin has always

-found it easy to tell lies.

-I know that better than anyone.

-I know that better than anyone.

-

-I feel sorry for Ffion.

-She's swallowed his lies.

-She even admitted her part in it.

-That's the power he has over women.

-I hope she's strong enough

-to see through it.

-The last thing I want to do is kick

-Arwen and Ffion out on the street.

-You've grown.

-You like your food, don't you?

-Very wise.

-See you.

-Ta-ra.

-Say ta-ta.

-Gethin went as far

-as to blame Megan.

-No.

-No.

-

-Anything to save his own skin.

-People like that

-need to be taught a lesson.

-It's not fair that we give him

-a month. I want him out today.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-I don't have anything to say to you.

-I think you'll want to hear

-what I have to say.

-I don't want to sue you, Dai.

-I was doing it

-because I can't afford to pay you.

-Oh, so you've gone through

-this rigmarole...

-..to save a few pennies, have you?

-The doctor told me last week...

-..that the kidney I had from Stacey

-won't last much longer.

-I could be on the list for another

-one for months or even years.

-And that's an excuse

-to take advantage of people, is it?

-I've been off work for weeks

-already.

-I might never be fit to work again.

-I can't carry on

-with this debt hanging over my head.

-You were prepared to see me

-lose money, business, my good name.

-I wouldn't have let it go that far.

-How do you think

-it was going to work out, Mark?

-I don't know, that you'd panic

-and forget about the debt.

-Dai, I'm desperate.

-So many people are relying on me

-and I don't want to let them down.

-I've got a family as well, remember.

-But you've got money too.

-All I want is for the children

-to have what others have.

-It's not fair that they miss out.

-Have you got any idea how much

-it costs to look after a baby?

-Vicky's trying her best, but...

-Well, Debs and I cover

-most of the bills.

-And Ricky,

-after his GCSE results...

-..I'm determined

-to get him through college...

-..but how can I afford it?

-There's help available out there.

-There's help available out there.

-

-Nowhere near enough.

-I know it's my own fault.

-I promise the world

-without knowing how I'll pay.

-Yes, well,

-that's what good fathers do.

-We don't always succeed...

-..but at least we try.

-Yes, but I want to do more

-than try, Dai.

-I want to make sure

-everyone can rely on me.

-Like you.

-You can give DJ, Jason and Sara

-everything they want.

-Look at yourself, Mark.

-You live in a house

-full of people.

-None of them is your blood relation,

-except Ricky...

-..and you're a father to them all.

-No-one does more than you.

-Look, I can't forget this debt.

-No, I know. I'll find a way.

-No, I know. I'll find a way.

-

-I'll tell you what I'll do.

-I'll give you more time to pay.

-You can pay 50, 20,

-5 a week even.

-Pay what you can, alright?

-And there won't be any pressure

-from me.

-But don't take advantage either.

-I'm not a charity.

-Thank you, Dai. You're a good man.

-I am, but don't tell anyone

-beyond these four walls...

-..or every Tom, Dick and Harry

-will think I've lost my marbles.

-Going soft in my old age.

-Come and sit with me.

-Dinner will be ready soon.

-You know that I'm happy to support

-you in whatever you do, don't you?

-What do you like to do these days?

-Football? Rugby? Dancing?

-I don't like dancing.

-But if you do...

-..I'd be happy to take you...

-..to every dance competition

-in the country.

-Even if it was folk dancing

-in the Eisteddfod in North Wales.

-No way!

-I'll be proud of you

-whatever you do.

-OK?

-Do you want a game?

-But supporting you doesn't mean

-letting you win! Right?

-Come on, then.

-A small bag of chips, please.

-A small bag of chips, please.

-

-OK.

-You don't feel like cooking

-tonight, do you?

-It's hard to find the energy

-to cook for one every night.

-Poor Sheryl and Hywel.

-Have you heard

-about the trouble they've had?

-No. What?

-Someone's written

-an anonymous letter to them.

-It was nasty,

-about Esther and the adoption.

-I'm not sure exactly what it said

-but it had racist elements.

-Racist?

-I'm sure they misread it.

-No, they're very upset.

-To be honest, between you and me...

-..they're taking it to the police

-tomorrow.

-Do they have to, over a letter?

-Of course. They don't know

-what this person will do next.

-And the police take these matters

-very seriously.

-Once they get the DNA

-from that letter...

-..they'll know exactly who it was.

-Salt and vinegar, Megan?

-Salt and vinegar, Megan?

-

-Oh, yes, please.
