-What happened is still

-an emotional mountain for me.

-And for me. I have to work with him.

-The people of Wales

-need to hear you and see you.

-They need to be shouting

-in unison, "Her!

-"I want to be in her gang."

-You didn't improve or reconcile.

-You made things worse.

-In the hope

-that we'll get rid of her.

-And he's on our tail.

-Both of us.

-We've an arrangement,

-not a relationship.

-I'm conducting a review.

-I'll be restructuring.

-Are you confident you can

-be faithful to her and to me?

-I've been unfaithful to Lowri

-for ages. What's the difference?

-A baby.

-And what do you want?!

-And what do you want?!

-

-A kiss.

-Mam's turn now. Mwah!

-Dad give Mam a kiss now.

-PHONE RINGS

-Hello? Oh, hello. How are you?

-What? Today?

-Yes, I think so.

-What time? No problem.

-Alright.

-Sian, head of the translation unit

-at the Assembly wants to see me.

-Another contract maybe.

-Another contract maybe.

-

-With any luck.

-Right. It's my turn now, is it?

-Come here, piggy!

-LOWRI VOMITS

-Do you mind if I take the car?

-Are you leaving now?

-I'll get a head start.

-Phone Catrin. Stay home.

-We've got a press conference...

-to launch Dylan's working party.

-OK, I'll see you there.

-Are you alright?

-Ready for it?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-Nervous?

-It's a press conference,

-not the Gettysburg Address.

-I want you to be

-totally comfortable.

-I appreciate it.

-Have you shortened

-what you're going to say?

-Make your point and get off,

-you mean.

-You said

-you'd keep it purposeful and brief.

-In case I bore those present.

-You should command their attention.

-You should command their attention.

-

-There's one way of doing that.

-The press are always more

-interested in the next new story.

-Do you want to do it in my place?

-Don't be daft.

-Seriously, as the leader,

-you've got more authority.

-And steal your thunder?

-This is your baby.

-Shall we go?

-Angharad.

-He's up his own backside these days.

-Too right. When are you appointing?

-The interviews are next week.

-The interviews are next week.

-

-Are you going for it?

-I don't know.

-You should.

-The party needs someone normal.

-Unlike Harri?

-Unlike Harri?

-

-No. No, not at all.

-The working party's goal is to put

-the Democrats under the microscope.

-To scrutinize all aspects

-of the party's activities.

-To listen, assess and be ready to

-change the structure, if necessary.

-Riveting!

-My role will be to guide, advise...

-..and coordinate the final report.

-Any questions?

-Has it been set up because of your

-decreasing percentage of the vote?

-No, it's to keep Dylan

-out of the bar.

-Unlike other parties,

-we believe in transparency.

-I hope this shit

-isn't the main story.

-I doubt it.

-I'll hold regular press conferences.

-I'll hold regular press conferences.

-

-She's got a story. A better one.

-Thank you all very much.

-What happened

-to old-fashioned courtesy?

-It died with Lloyd George.

-There was no point anyway.

-What you said is on the website.

-You should've spoken up earlier.

-Why? You'd decided on the strategy

-and chosen a chairman.

-Hang on. If anyone

-knows the Democrats, it's Dylan.

-I'm not criticizing Dylan.

-I'm suggesting that the time

-to confront the press...

-..is when the results are presented

-and when there's something to say.

-Fair play for showing

-such faith. I feel better already.

-Excuse me.

-A matter has come to our attention

-today that needs addressing.

-An instruction from Westminster...

-I bet Tom's glad

-he's not the pregnant one!

-..the number of refugees from the

-Middle East to be housed in Wales...

-..is to be doubled.

-Really?

-So the burden falls only on Wales.

-So the burden falls only on Wales.

-

-From 1,600 to over 3,000.

-Will the money and resources needed

-to support them be doubled too?

-Experience shows that there's always

-extra pressure on local services.

-Then there's the public's reaction.

-I'm sure that will be positive,

-on the whole.

-Hear, hear, and I believe

-that we, as a government...

-..and as a country

-should welcome many more.

-Easier said than done. You don't

-have to cope with the councils.

-Calm down. We must

-avoid bickering amongst ourselves.

-We need to be unanimous and united.

-Nobody is to utter a word until

-we've drawn up an official response.

-How will the government cope...

-..with the substantial rise

-in refugee numbers?

-How did she get her hands

-on this story so quickly?

-And the extra pressure on councils?

-And the extra pressure on councils?

-

-No comment.

-Do you intend to relocate

-outside the usual centres?

-I'm glad to see you've still got it

-despite family pressure.

-Meirion is only one person.

-He's on everyone's tail.

-A threat?

-A threat?

-

-A promise.

-PHONE RINGS

-PHONE RINGS

-

-Hi, Ow. How did it go?

-What, now? Yes, OK.

-What will you have?

-What will you have?

-

-Haven't got time, sorry.

-An important story has just broken.

-Not as important as my story.

-Not as important as my story.

-

-Well?

-I've been offered a position. Here.

-As what?

-As what?

-

-A translator... not a cleaner!

-Is that what Sian wanted?

-Yes. It'll be a chance

-to see a bit more of each other.

-What about the rest of your clients?

-What about the rest of your clients?

-

-What about them?

-Listen, I've got to go now.

-An important story, so you said.

-We'll talk about this tonight. A lot

-to discuss, but it's a great offer.

-See what regular punters

-say about refugees.

-Even better if it's negative.

-Would you

-jump into my grave as quickly?

-Sorry.

-Tom suggests a vox pop

-in Meirion's constituency.

-Lean on him on his own patch.

-Megan's the relevant minister. She's

-the one we should be targeting.

-We'll do both.

-Will we?

-I'd like to say,

-I'd like to remind everyone...

-..that I'm the editor,

-the sole editor, of this unit.

-Maybe I won't be when

-your review makes its conclusion...

-..but in the meantime,

-we'll go after the parties.

-All the members, including Meirion.

-The cabinet hasn't reacted yet, but

-no matter what they say publicly...

-..there'll be bickering and

-disagreement behind closed doors.

-It's our job to find the weak spots.

-Alright, Tom?

-As clear as gin.

-As clear as gin.

-

-Ed?

-Owain. You're not going to punch me,

-I hope!

-You're not worth the effort.

-Whatever happened between

-Angharad and me, it's in the past.

-Maybe it's in the past for you, but

-it's right under my nose every day.

-Life goes on.

-Unfortunately, you don't.

-You don't move on.

-Why's that? Why are you still here?

-The job.

-Which one? Burdening my wife

-or ousting my father?

-How do you know I'm burdening

-Angharad? You're not here.

-That's where you're wrong, mate!

-I'm going to be here

-from tomorrow onwards...

-..so stick that in your pisser,

-you bastard.

-Do you think it's a good idea?

-Do you think it's a good idea?

-

-It's up to you to decide.

-But the interview could

-give you valuable experience.

-Sorry, for whom?

-Sorry, for whom?

-

-Press officer. Ela fancies it.

-What qualifications do you have?

-Don't be so dismissive.

-Don't be so dismissive.

-

-You have no journalism expertise.

-I've got some experience.

-They'd slaughter you before you

-took your first step. I know them.

-Right.

-These refugees, we have to ensure

-all members toe the party line.

-Gag anyone who's tempted to stray.

-Gag anyone who's tempted to stray.

-

-Treat them like children?

-There's more than one maverick

-out in the sticks.

-When were you last in the sticks?

-Residents are sensible and moderate.

-You should take a trip sometime.

-A brief interview. You can

-see the questions beforehand.

-He'll say, "No."

-He'll say, "No."

-

-I'm sure you can convince him.

-You're good at doing that.

-What?

-Persuading people to cooperate.

-Sorry. You'll have to be satisfied

-with the official response.

-And in Meirion's case,

-she's of no help.

-To anyone.

-To anyone.

-

-Will you at least ask Catrin?

-Check the government's statement.

-She must have an opinion.

-She must have an opinion.

-

-She won't share it with you.

-But you're welcome to come

-to an open meeting in Llancarfan.

-D'you know what?

-I think I'm washing my hair.

-Hiya. Now?

-Yes, fine.

-The three of us will have fun.

-All under the same roof.

-Owain's idea or yours?

-His decision, obviously.

-He's starting tomorrow.

-I don't want to discuss Owain.

-Can I interview Rhiannon

-about the refugees?

-I don't want to discuss Rhiannon.

-I don't want to discuss Rhiannon.

-

-Oh, grow up, will you?

-The fact he's here

-won't change a thing.

-I don't know who's more naive,

-you or Rhiannon.

-Naive, full of shit, idealistic,

-self-righteous and hard work!

-It's not a good thing

-that Owain is here.

-I know that and you know that.

-London cash and private landlords

-will house them.

-It's public perception

-that's important.

-Refugees are taking precedence over

-locals regarding public services.

-It's our duty

-to argue to the contrary.

-If it fails, we can put the blame on

-the broad shoulders of Westminster.

-Without overdoing it, of course.

-After all, we're brothers in arms.

-We'd need to find extra finance

-to compensate the councils.

-Tomorrow, Megan. Tomorrow.

-By the way, good news.

-Owain got the position.

-Where are Jac and Carys?

-Where are Jac and Carys?

-

-They popped to the shop.

-Right.

-We agreed that we'd talk about it

-tonight, that we'd discuss it.

-What happened? Did you go to him,

-or was it the other way round?

-Do you really believe

-that this is going to work?

-I've got nothing to hide.

-I've got nothing to hide.

-

-Neither have I.

-Then we'll both

-have nothing to worry about.

-Hiya.

-Hiya, Jac.

-Whoa! What do you have there?

-Should we, as a government, do more

-to help the world's poor refugees?

-PHONE RINGS

-Yes, I've seen it.

-"I'm confident as a Democrat

-and a member of the government...

-"..that they'll act appropriately."

-Fair play to Dylan for speaking out.

-But poor Catrin.

-Imagine having that prat

-as a husband.

-Charming!

-Ta-ta.

-I've decided to try for it,

-so thank you for the advice.

-Sorry?

-Sorry?

-

-The job. Press officer.

-Whoa! What advice?

-Encouragement then.

-Encouragement then.

-

-I think I wished you luck.

-It was a bit more than that.

-Did you say that in the office?

-To Rhiannon?

-To Harri?

-To Harri?

-

-No...

-Well, don't. Don't mention my name.

-I admit what he said is unfortunate.

-I admit what he said is unfortunate.

-

-He's completely undermined you.

-Do you expect me to apologize?

-Do you expect me to apologize?

-

-Catrin will have to do that.

-That's not true.

-What he said forces you to respond.

-And why mention the working party?

-It was only set up yesterday.

-"Our working party will highlight

-the very values needed.

-"Tolerance, love

-for our fellow man." Hilarious!

-Why do you say that?

-It'll be a talking shop. It won't do

-anything to change people's lives.

-It's easy enough to criticize.

-You come up with a suggestion.

-Yes, come on. Have you got any ideas

-to offer, Special Adviser?

-A posh title,

-though often unwarranted.

-Dylan's said it now. Let him

-deal with the shit from Meirion.

-It gives us a chance to get ahead.

-It gives us a chance to get ahead.

-

-Quite.

-And by agreeing with Dylan,

-Catrin's on the back foot.

-Why put your head on the block?

-Why put your head on the block?

-

-I won't if I use my personal blog.

-I'll chat with members as a leader,

-not the voice of government.

-They're the ones who worry me.

-The rednecks, the dinosaurs. Did you

-hear that woman on the radio?

-She opposed all Dylan's views.

-She was arguing

-perfectly reasonably...

-..that public services

-are already under pressure.

-She's not the type of member

-we want.

-Do you think she was?

-Do you think she was?

-

-She sounded like a member.

-Saying nothing is best, alright?

-I saw Owain earlier.

-He was starting work here today.

-He was starting work here today.

-

-So he said.

-I didn't see the advert for the job.

-Did many apply?

-I'm not sure.

-I think he was headhunted.

-Ready on set?

-Keep it in the family. Lovely!

-Keep it in the family. Lovely!

-

-Balanced, I hope. No ambush.

-Worried about what she might say?

-Worried about what she might say?

-

-Megan's a rock.

-The rock of ages.

-Cue Tom.

-So, Megan Ashford,

-explain your stance.

-Whilst being ready

-to accept refugees...

-..as part of the general policy,

-we, the All-Wales Government...

-..are following Westminster's lead.

-To keep them in their own countries.

-"In region" is the technical term.

-Not bringing the problem to Europe?

-This is so boring.

-For heaven's sake, Tom,

-give her a kick up the backside.

-Ask her what type of refugee

-she'd prioritize if she had to.

-Can you hear me?

-If you had to choose, Megan Ashford,

-if you had to prioritize...

-..who'd be first in line?

-Christians. They're the ones

-who are being persecuted most.

-More than everyone else?

-They'd feel at home here in Wales.

-The weather would suit them,

-and it must be remembered...

-..that Britain

-is a Christian country.

-Only 2% of the population attends

-chapel or church on a regular basis.

-Sunni and Shia Muslims

-should live in warm countries.

-Together?

-That's what will

-have to happen eventually.

-People have to live together.

-I told you it was a crazy idea.

-Who was in the gallery?

-Does it matter?

-It was a mistake giving Megan

-so much rope on a sensitive subject.

-A half-soaked monkey

-would've done better.

-Tom's the monkey, she's

-the organ grinder. She's ruthless.

-Angharad was only doing her job.

-If you believe that,

-then I'm very disappointed.

-Outrageous!

-We had to try a different approach.

-Did you have to question my faith?

-Did you have to question my faith?

-

-We didn't.

-Good?

-Good?

-

-Eventually, when Angharad pushed.

-Right.

-The killer blow. That's what it is.

-She often makes me mad but she's

-really got it. Nobody can deny that.

-Daft woman.

-The public would be disappointed

-if she didn't say something daft.

-She undermined Meirion's authority.

-Are you going to insist

-she apologizes?

-That's a matter for Aled, not me.

-Westminster,

-backed by the New Conservatives...

-..are determined to cap

-the number of refugees arriving.

-In our name. We have to respond.

-I'll draft something for Catrin.

-I'll draft something for Catrin.

-

-Bitch.

-Rhiannon's blog.

-She agrees with you.

-Does extending a humanitarian hand

-make her a bitch?

-Yes, when she's shit-stirring.

-Yes, when she's shit-stirring.

-

-Sensible and reasonable I'd say.

-If I didn't know you better,

-I'd swear you were in love with her.

-You don't know me.

-That's the problem.

-Ela, I'm sorry. I overreacted

-earlier. I had a lot on my plate.

-It doesn't matter.

-It doesn't matter.

-

-But I meant what I said yesterday.

-You'd make a great press officer.

-If you need advice before the

-interview, off the record, just say.

-I've just seen Rhiannon's comments.

-Interesting, I'd love to be a fly

-on the wall in a branch meeting...

-..when they discuss

-this immigration business.

-You never know,

-you might be pleasantly surprised.

-Catrin Williams, what's

-your response to Dylan's comments?

-The Nationalist leader agrees.

-The Nationalist leader agrees.

-

-Her comments are hypocritical.

-In what way?

-I don't see how the various factions

-in the Nationalists' ranks...

-..can agree on this.

-About the refugees?

-About the refugees?

-

-Refugees, migrants in general.

-Some fear the adverse effects

-migrants have on the Welsh language.

-Those migrants

-are mostly English, of course.

-What's the difference between

-foreigners and the English?

-What's the difference,

-in your opinion?

-That's a question for the leader.

-I don't want you to use that.

-I don't want you to use that.

-

-You're wasting your breath.

-You've ignored my advice and

-now Catrin's used your comments...

-She distorted them.

-She distorted them.

-

-And very cleverly.

-She forced Rhiannon to defend the

-dinosaurs I talked about earlier.

-Did you give him the soapbox?

-This is serious.

-They have a story, thanks to you.

-Talking of which!

-She has nothing to say.

-Rhiannon?

-That's your answer.

-That's your answer.

-

-I'm glad you agree on something.

-On everything, as it happens.

-On everything, as it happens.

-

-Do you?

-Are you deaf? No means no, even if

-that's hard for you to accept.

-Get stuffed, Harri. I know

-there are splits within the party.

-I'm going to find them. I'm going

-to discuss them. That's my duty.

-Stirring things up and planting

-Owain right under my nose.

-That's what you're doing.

-That's what you're doing.

-

-What's going on here? Are you OK?

-She's fine.

-She's always liked the rough stuff.

-Owain!

-No! Harri! Stop it!

-Stop it! Both of you!

-That's enough! Owain!

-Please, Owain!

-Go and find the nurse.

-Or perhaps a psychiatrist

-would be more use to you.

-Well?

-A misunderstanding.

-There's nothing going on.

-Between you and Angharad? Did I ask?

-Why else would he punch you?

-He misinterpreted the situation.

-You and Angharad again.

-What was he doing here anyway?

-He started work here today.

-He started work here today.

-

-Great.

-Nothing'll change. The relationship

-with the political unit is intact.

-And what about our relationship?

-You aren't telling me everything.

-There's nothing more to say.

-Send this out as soon as you can.

-Send this out as soon as you can.

-

-Why don't you send it out?

-I'm giving you an opportunity.

-If you're serious about getting

-ahead, this is what you can expect.

-I'm serious but this is strong.

-Despotic. Not like Rhiannon at all.

-She's unaware.

-I see. You're looking

-for someone to share the blame with.

-She'll be livid when she finds out.

-But grateful in the end.

-You really believe that.

-That people

-are going to be grateful to you.

-Did that bruise come from someone

-who appreciates your talents?

-Rhiannon's shot herself in the foot

-and I'm trying to help.

-Behind her back. Everything I do

-is for Rhiannon's benefit.

-Ditto.

-Wind power.

-Wind power should be a priority.

-Wind power should be a priority.

-

-It is already, in the manifesto.

-Smaller parties have similar views.

-A phone conversation? No problem.

-Send over a photographer.

-The Journal. An article tomorrow.

-Ta-ta. Western Post.

-Article and photograph.

-I hope the working party

-generates as much interest...

-..as Catrin's single comment

-about the Nationalists.

-Core values are our priority,

-not media and press coverage.

-Really? Catrin, d'you have anything

-specific to say in Llancarfan?

-It's up to you to draft

-something suitable for Catrin.

-That's what I intend to do.

-Back off, Dylan!

-I didn't realize you were so

-sensitive. Is the pressure too much?

-Are you feeling sick again?

-Are you feeling sick again?

-

-She was asking my opinion.

-And I was giving mine.

-Catrin Williams' comments. Reaction?

-Next question.

-Do you acknowledge

-that some members...

-..disagree with placing

-the refugees right across Wales?

-Several different opinions exist but

-we're a mature and tolerant party.

-So every member has the right

-to voice an opinion publicly.

-I think that's the meaning

-of what I just said.

-If that's true,

-then they're being remarkably quiet.

-Any other question

-before we conclude?

-Are you aware that an influential

-individual within the party...

-..is critical of your leadership?

-It can happen at grass-roots level.

-Every leader has to accept it.

-Not at grass-roots level. Here.

-In the Bay. Inside this building.

-Criticism such as?

-That you're naive,

-overly idealistic...

-..self-righteous and hard work?

-Were you aware of that?

-Are you sure it's not yourself

-you're describing?

-Naive? Self-righteous? Hard work?

-She had no right to use it.

-Every right, if you said it.

-Did you?

-Yes, probably.

-Yes, probably.

-

-Did you mean it?

-The job's difficult sometimes!

-I'm the job! Alright, I happen to

-think you're a tosser sometimes too.

-One who's too big for his boots,

-but I'd never put that on record.

-Especially not within a

-stone's throw of a political editor.

-It was a mistake.

-And I'm sorry.

-Oh, yes, one more thing.

-An email was sent to every branch

-and member of the Assembly.

-Saying what?

-Warning them not to discuss refugees

-without speaking to central office.

-Silencing them, behind my back?

-So I've just lied in there.

-Bloody hell!

-It's only a lie

-if someone finds out.

-Oh, well, I feel so much better.

-Who's naive now, eh?

-Daniel. How are you? Angharad Wynne.

-No comment at all? How did you know

-what I was going to ask?

-Right.

-Who'd have thought Rent-a-Quote

-himself would be struck dumb?

-The member for Arfon Menai must be

-on the same page as his leader.

-For the first time in his life?

-For the first time in his life?

-

-Do you want help?

-Alun? Hello, Angharad Wynne here.

-Care to comment on the refugees?

-Would you do an interview?

-What did you say to her?

-Who else? Has she contacted Daniel?

-What did he say to her? Alun?

-Kitchen cupboard door? Good job

-it wasn't something more dangerous.

-Why does Meirion hate her so much?

-Does he?

-Angharad can be stubborn

-and determined.

-I wouldn't like to be

-her father-in-law.

-Families.

-We can't choose them, unfortunately.

-Hi, Lowri.

-A drink later?

-What did he want?

-Work.

-Catrin's making a speech tonight.

-Fancy coming?

-Where?

-Where?

-

-Llancarfan.

-Exciting.

-Exciting.

-

-Well, it might be.

-How so?

-What she's got to say is

-pretty revealing. Challenging, even.

-A Democrat challenging?

-Thanks but no thanks.

-Would you like to see the speech?

-Would you like to see the speech?

-

-What for? I'll see you later on.

-Bye, Ela.

-Bye, Ela.

-

-Ta-ta.

-What did you say to her?

-That you should be more careful

-when you're playing squash.

-There was nothing on the news.

-No matter what you think,

-the order to keep quiet has worked.

-So far. Make sure that you're

-not giving her any more rope.

-Of course.

-Right. Are the two of us OK now?

-As if nothing happened?

-Obviously not.

-This is quite provocative.

-What you said about Rhiannon has

-paid off in terms of the attention.

-It doesn't matter anyway.

-Nobody from the media will be here.

-My attempt was a resounding failure.

-I'm sure you did your best.

-If you're not out of here

-by the time I count to three...

-..I'll call security.

-One, two...

-One, two...

-

-I'm still here.

-I've got nothing, Angharad.

-I've got nothing, Angharad.

-

-Neither has Daniel nor Alun.

-So vocal, usually,

-but today, nothing.

-They've got nothing to say.

-Something's being hidden.

-By the way, I never imagined

-that you'd play so dirty.

-That was a personal conversation.

-You're never off-duty.

-I know that as well as anyone.

-Was Rhiannon lying

-in that conference?

-Unlike you, Rhiannon is straight.

-She has no secrets.

-The fact that we have secrets...

-..has become a bit more obvious

-to some people, thanks to you.

-And maybe

-I am defective as a character...

-..but I'm not the only one,

-am I, Harri?

-Something smells good.

-That would be me!

-You didn't have to.

-Would you like some of this?

-Why can't we go back to how it was?

-I don't remember how it was.

-Yes, you do.

-You at home and...

-You at home and...

-

-God in his heaven.

-It worked well for us.

-It could work again.

-That'd be great, and I swear,

-that's what I'd like too.

-But how can things be the same?

-It's beyond us.

-I haven't heard that before.

-I haven't heard that before.

-

-Haven't you? That's as old as sin.

-"Sin." That's a word that

-terrifies us Welsh-speaking Welsh!

-I hope you don't have

-an early start tomorrow morning.

-It doesn't affect me.

-I'm at my best with no rest!

-He's a poet as well!

-I can be whatever you want me to be.

-Hello.

-Hiya.

-Right, see you tomorrow morning.

-Goodnight.

-What did he want?

-What did he want?

-

-How did it go?

-Well. Shame you weren't with me.

-Why was he here?

-Let me see the speech then.

-You weren't interested earlier.

-When did he get here?

-When did he get here?

-

-I invited him.

-Somebody has to drink all this wine

-and you won't be much help.

-More of a hindrance than a help.

-What does she have to say?

-Hi, this is Angharad Wynne.

-Message for Alun Mason.

-Could you phone me back, please?

-Daniel. Angharad Wynne here.

-Yes, I know it's early.

-Tom has something good.

-Check with him.

-Yes, I know what you said.

-Do you think we could meet?

-In her speech in Llancarfan,

-Democrat leader Catrin Williams...

-..criticized the intention

-to double the number of refugees.

-Did you say that?

-She questioned the ability

-of the All-Wales Government...

-..to make adequate provision

-for the refugees.

-She said local councils

-would buckle under the pressure.

-He wasn't there. How...?

-I showed him the speech.

-Did you help him to distort it?

-No!

-No!

-

-You said he wasn't interested.

-This is

-what Wayne Jenkins had to say.

-Personally, I agree with

-Catrin Williams. There are no jobs.

-That's not what I said.

-Those weren't the words I used.

-Everything goes to outsiders

-and locals suffer.

-She'd definitely get my vote.

-This will be today's story.

-The floodgates are wide open

-for others to respond.

-Exactly. How long can you

-keep the dogs on a lead, Harri?

-O ye of little faith.

-Hi. Alun.

-What did she want?

-Yes, alright, I'm dealing with it.

-It's hard to believe

-that's what she said.

-It should be me saying it.

-It should be me saying it.

-

-Not in the same way, I hope.

-The points raised are valid.

-Hear, hear.

-Hear, hear.

-

-Are you defending him?

-Tom's only an employee. The item

-would've been checked by Angharad.

-How can a paltry meeting

-in a small village...

-..turn into something of importance

-and into news?

-Mind you, she's not the only one

-to blame this time.

-I insist you issue an apology

-on the next bulletin.

-Dream on,

-though Catrin's welcome to respond.

-You do acknowledge

-that Tom distorted what she said.

-No, I don't.

-You should be talking to Angharad.

-You're the boss.

-You're on very shaky ground.

-You gave Tom the speech.

-He put his own take on it.

-That's journalism.

-Irresponsible.

-Irresponsible.

-

-Spin. Have you heard of the word?

-I expected better

-from my own husband.

-Hang on. Is there

-something else going on here?

-Such as?

-Such as?

-

-You and him? I don't know.

-No. I don't know either.

-Listen...

-Listen...

-

-Piss off, Tom!

-I'll phone you back.

-Are you looking for me?

-By the way,

-I'm meeting Daniel for lunch.

-You know how he is

-after a couple of pints.

-Alright. An email went out to

-all the members, gagging everyone.

-So Rhiannon was lying

-in that conference yesterday.

-No, she wasn't. She didn't know.

-Oops!

-Oops!

-

-Enjoy your lunch.

-D'you know what?

-He refused the invitation.

-Daniel. As did

-all the other members of the party.

-You're doing a good job, Harri.

-Don't worry,

-we'll sort something out.

-Yes. We will.

-Without your contribution.

-I'm going to address this myself.

-Ela can help me.

-"We must ensure our response

-as a government is adequate...

-"..and that we support the councils.

-"Not enough consideration

-has been given to the implications.

-"We must ensure that our

-deprived indigenous residents...

-"..don't feel as if

-they're being treated unfairly."

-It's on our website

-so people can judge for themselves.

-Who are they going to believe?

-You or the residents of Llancarfan?

-Is Lowri a problem, generally?

-Not for me.

-Not for me.

-

-She's too close to Tom.

-Professionally? I don't think so.

-Woe betide us

-if we created another Harri.

-Between these four walls, of course.

-Between these four walls, of course.

-

-I intend to have a word with her.

-You need to have more than a word

-or we'll all lose our credibility.

-What are you going to do?

-What are you going to do?

-

-Run the story.

-A party leader misleading the press.

-A party leader misleading the press.

-

-Unknowingly.

-Special adviser undermines leader.

-Special adviser undermines leader.

-

-Not true.

-The right hand doesn't know

-what the left hand's doing.

-What result are you hoping for?

-Up to you. My job is

-to present the facts as I see them.

-Will there be more restructuring

-within the party, do you think?

-Apart from appointing

-a press officer? I'm only asking.

-And hoping? It would make things

-easier for you on the home front.

-Maybe there is a story, but there's

-more than one, isn't there?

-I apologize, of course.

-But I did it to promote Catrin,

-nobody else.

-Tom's done you a disservice.

-Tom was doing his job, just like me.

-Not very honourably.

-There are rules... boundaries.

-Without them,

-anarchy and mayhem reigns.

-Complete shambles.

-For your information, and so that

-everyone understands one another...

-..Lowri's apologized,

-she's accepted the blame.

-This office

-will be monitoring her conduct...

-..for the next three months.

-It's important that you and Tom

-know where you stand.

-Are you alright?

-Are you alright?

-

-Great, thanks, Catrin.

-Bear in mind that sometimes

-the leader has to discipline.

-Dylan...

-Dylan...

-

-Fine.

-Meirion agreed to your

-appointment on the condition...

-..there'd be

-no professional conflict...

-..between you and Tom.

-I'd say that condition

-has been breached in this case.

-Thanks for preparing the ground,

-Catrin, and Lowri...

-..if you ever fancy working

-for another party, bear us in mind.

-Why here?

-I wanted a private chat.

-I wanted a private chat.

-

-Private is one thing.

-Personal is something else.

-Why do you take it for granted

-that it's personal?

-Out with it.

-What doesn't Lowri know?

-What doesn't Lowri know?

-

-Sorry?

-About you.

-I've no idea

-what you're talking about.

-She came to see me.

-She was very upset.

-Regarding the Catrin business.

-It was partly that.

-Hold on. Isn't that

-what you wanted to happen?

-The killer blow,

-people walking around upset...

-..like Angharad upsetting Megan.

-We're talking about your wife.

-We're talking about your wife.

-

-Work is work.

-You're on Angharad's back for

-not being tough enough on Meirion.

-I don't

-want to be accused of the same.

-A boundary exists.

-A boundary exists.

-

-I haven't crossed it.

-Besides,

-I'm not willing to take the risk.

-I don't know what

-this review of yours will achieve...

-..but I know one thing,

-I don't want to lose my job.

-I don't want to lose a thing.

-I don't want to lose a thing.

-

-Including Lowri?

-Mistakes have been made

-and I acknowledge that.

-I take full responsibility.

-I don't excuse them at all...

-..but I'll put measures in place...

-..to make sure this kind of thing

-doesn't happen in future.

-Need a chat. Where are you?

-What would be your advice?

-Whatever he does,

-however he does it...

-..he does it for you.

-You're very forgiving.

-He treats you like dirt.

-He treats you like dirt.

-

-It's never personal.

-Like the Mafia.

-Regarding the position, don't

-let him bully you. Apply for it.

-Did you see the announcement?

-Did you see the announcement?

-

-I'd have advised you to do the same.

-From now on, nothing leaves the

-office without me having seen it.

-Don't worry, I'll check everything

-with Ela first.

-Ela is much more supportive

-than you think.

-I respect her opinion.

-If I listened

-to the opinion of others...

-..this discussion

-would be very different.

-Is Owain not with you?

-He'll be here in a minute.

-Nose to the grindstone,

-like his father.

-How's he settling in?

-Do you really want to know?

-It's hard for me to believe you're

-genuinely interested in your son.

-Owain's presence here

-is all-important to me.

-They say

-it's vital for a politician...

-..to have another pair of eyes

-in the back of his head.

-I have that pair now.

-Enjoy your weekend.

-I've been trying to phone you.

-I didn't answer in case you had

-another story up your sleeve.

-I do.

-I do.

-

-The last one led nowhere.

-For your information,

-I'm still here.

-Not for very long,

-if Meirion gets his way.

-He's responsible

-for appointing Owain.

-He's planted him here deliberately.

-He's after us, Harri.

-He's trying to trip us up. He had a

-good start yesterday, thanks to you.

-Does Owain know?

-I have no idea. Hiya!

-Alright?

-Harri.

-Let's go.

-No matter what he promises,

-it won't count!

-Why can't you be civil with Angharad

-and your own son?

-No hospital will be privatized.

-Time will tell.

-Time will tell.

-

-Take a step back.

-Accept that no means no sometimes.

-The old guidelines, Angie. Remember?

-Do this and I'll never forgive you.

-I know I disappoint you but at least

-my conscience will be clear.

-You're a lying bastard.

-You don't know him.

-You have no idea who he is.
