-Rhiannon's blog.

-She agrees with you.

-If I didn't know you better,

-I'd say you loved her.

-You don't know me.

-You don't know me.

-

-Ela's trying for press officer.

-You have no journalistic background.

-You have no journalistic background.

-

-I can be whatever you want me to be.

-What did he want?

-What did he want?

-

-Owain's presence is crucial to me.

-He's planted him here on purpose.

-He's on our trail, Harri.

-Five-year-old Gareth Denman

-died in Llanerch Hospital, Clwyd...

-..during surgery to remove a kidney.

-The chairman, Morlais,

-is a personal friend and one of us.

-Oh, yes, and Aled...

-..do your best to divert this mess

-away from tonight's celebration.

-Where's that list gone?

-It's not too late

-to get people in to help you.

-How many vegetarians

-should I cater for?

-You could've asked sooner.

-Heavens above!

-Speak to Aled

-and keep away from this.

-Dad. Will a dozen be enough?

-Do you want a cuppa?

-I'll make it. Are you alright?

-I will be, but if you and Angharad

-aren't too busy, will you come?

-Please?

-Are you coming tonight?

-You've nothing to celebrate though.

-What did you say?

-What did you say?

-

-It's a tragedy, no less.

-Yes. It could've happened just

-as easily when you were at the helm.

-Of course. Thoughtless.

-If you need advice...

-No, thanks, Megan.

-Megan Ashford, trying to be clever.

-Music to her ears, probably.

-Sympathy and all that sort of shit.

-We have to say more, but

-there's no rush. Hold on, Rhiannon.

-Get me a coffee on the way.

-When can we discuss this?

-I don't want him to say a word yet.

-I don't want him to say a word yet.

-

-The interview is tomorrow.

-Great. Dylan's already spoken

-to News Wales.

-Off the top of his head,

-knowing him.

-Nel and Gwion. Text me, OK?

-I won't have time

-to think about babies' names today.

-We agreed two options a day.

-OK, well,

-why don't we call it Cross...

-..or Life Sentence, maybe?

-Oh!

-A challenging day ahead

-for both of us today.

-Llanerch Hospital. A mess.

-Maybe we should compare notes.

-Thanks.

-Press Officer.

-I've got an interview today.

-I'll phone you later.

-Cold feet?

-I know it's what you'd like,

-but I'm trying, so get over it.

-I hope I get a fair hearing.

-I hope I get a fair hearing.

-

-It depends what you've got to say.

-Nice. Smart.

-Nice. Smart.

-

-I don't like the colour.

-PHONE RINGS

-Hello? Right, I'll ask.

-Angharad?

-No.

-No, sorry.

-No, sorry.

-

-If you say so, Ela.

-OK, leave it with me.

-Shutters down?

-Shutters down?

-

-Regarding what?

-It's not our job to pacify Meirion.

-He's reluctant

-to discuss his personal life.

-Good news for you.

-Good news for you.

-

-Were you talking to Aled?

-Why wasn't I consulted?

-Because this is Tom's big moment.

-Leave him alone.

-There's a cabinet meeting later.

-I trust Rhiannon will be more vocal

-after that. What's her Plan B?

-As the local AM who happens to know

-Idris and Cilla Denman personally...

-And who's shitting himself because

-the seat is marginal. Just carry on!

-At least he's not slating me.

-Until the cabinet meets.

-Are you straight?

-Straight,

-but doubtful we'll get more money.

-A child has died. Always useful.

-A child has died. Always useful.

-

-Ela!

-Remember your place.

-I'm the cynic, not you.

-You should've waited.

-I wasn't speaking

-on behalf of the party.

-It's important we form a strategy

-and weigh up the possibilities.

-Harri James was eager to discuss.

-Harri James was eager to discuss.

-

-He's a vulture, if ever I saw one.

-Seriously, what's he got to offer?

-A spin can be put on everything.

-I was speaking

-as a father who's lost a child.

-Can we at least operate as one voice

-in the cabinet?

-I haven't made

-a political comment yet.

-True, but I agree with Lowri.

-You missed an opportunity.

-To knock Rhiannon?

-To knock Rhiannon?

-

-You're the local AM.

-You're also a minister

-and my husband.

-By the way, you're not the

-only parent to have lost a child!

-So you're willing to talk to me now.

-So you're willing to talk to me now.

-

-Yes.

-Is Rhiannon intending to...?

-She doesn't comment

-on individual cases.

-Even though she

-sympathizes with the Denman family.

-You'd be

-a brilliant special adviser.

-Dylan has asked

-for an independent inquiry.

-It wouldn't be Christmas...

-It wouldn't be Christmas...

-

-Are you going to tell me anything?

-Yes. Meirion is standing above us,

-taking note of every gesture.

-Does Owain know that Daddy

-arranged for him to get a job here?

-He won't find out

-as long as we're careful.

-Exactly. It'd be helpful

-if you took a step back.

-Accept that no means no sometimes.

-The old rules, Angie. Remember?

-Ready?

-The interview.

-Have you agreed on the brief?

-Not yet.

-Not yet.

-

-Don't give Angharad an inch.

-What if

-we avoid Angharad completely?

-Discuss with Tom instead.

-So that he can run back to her

-like a little lapdog.

-He won't.

-The root cause of this tragedy

-is down to staff shortages.

-Not bad management then.

-A restructuring package would help.

-But we, as a government, have to be

-strong and show political will.

-And wave the cheque book, I presume.

-What will be the extra cost?

-5m from the reserve fund.

-Weren't you asking for money from

-the reserve fund six months ago?

-What would your answer be?

-What would your answer be?

-

-Punch and Judy are out early today.

-There is another option.

-Privatization.

-The entire hospital?

-I've had unofficial talks

-with a firm called Trobwynt...

-..ever since Llanerch Hospital

-was first issued special measures.

-You will all receive an outline.

-How can it be unofficial if

-they've already prepared an outline?

-Trobwynt has extensive experience

-in the medical field.

-I know it's a consortium of greedy

-businessmen registered in Jersey.

-Profit, not patient care,

-is their only concern. No!

-At least Dylan's still in his seat.

-I'm the former Health Minister.

-Why didn't you consult with me?

-Former, Megan.

-The clue's in the name.

-I will ask you to contribute

-when the time comes...

-..to develop the outline

-into a comprehensive document.

-For now, you should thank your

-lucky stars Rhiannon's at the helm.

-Would you really want

-this shambles on your plate?

-You should've fought back in

-the cabinet instead of walking out.

-Walking out

-is a statement in itself.

-If you're a student.

-How much money did you wangle?

-How much money did you wangle?

-

-I didn't beg.

-Don't, Rhiannon.

-That's what you did the last time.

-Are you intending to comment

-on the death of Gareth Denman?

-Have you contacted the parents?

-Have you contacted the parents?

-

-Have your read this tosh? Shameful!

-Have you got a spare copy?

-Have you got a spare copy?

-

-No. Now, leave.

-The two of us need to come together.

-Wasn't Catrin the leader of

-the Democrats a couple of hours ago?

-We'll contact her if need be.

-That wasn't very nice.

-Do you hope to land this job

-by being nice?

-There's nothing wrong with courtesy.

-There's nothing wrong with courtesy.

-

-Dylan and Catrin are feuding.

-Do you

-want to get caught in the middle?

-I doubt that contacting Rhiannon

-was wise before we'd discussed it.

-Why the doubt? It was a mistake. We

-showed our hand, lost the advantage.

-It's everyone's duty

-to fight against this threat...

-..no matter

-what party you belong to.

-The rank and file would agree.

-The rank and file would agree.

-

-Some may like Meirion's plan.

-Privatization?

-Then they're in the wrong party.

-We don't know.

-We don't know.

-

-No-one's asked them yet.

-When everything else has failed

-and in order to avoid...

-Is that's what you'll recommend?

-Is that's what you'll recommend?

-

-Yes, to avoid a hospital closure.

-Privatization is a feasible option.

-At a cost.

-At a cost.

-

-I hope it won't come to that.

-I want to know

-what's going on in your head.

-Nothing. I'm just worried

-about the interview with Meirion.

-You're treating me like dirt.

-Do you have something to tell me?

-Good news.

-Meirion's keen

-to hand over the reins to you.

-OK, great.

-See you later.

-And I like the names Nel and Gwion.

-.

-If she'd managed to get more money,

-she'd have been eager to speak.

-Go after Dylan.

-Go after Dylan.

-

-I'd like to see that document.

-There might be a chance at the bash.

-There might be a chance at the bash.

-

-Tonight is a private event.

-A celebration.

-A celebration.

-

-Isn't Owain going?

-I've decided to stay away.

-Are you going as Mr Ogwen Jones?

-Sorry. What?

-To the cabinet do this evening.

-To the cabinet do this evening.

-

-No.

-Right, I have to go.

-I'm meeting someone.

-Who?

-Are you sure about keeping away?

-Absolutely.

-What if people found out?

-Would they care as long as they get

-their injections and their pills?

-It's their health service.

-I'm just an employee.

-For now, as we all are.

-She wasn't consulted. The democratic

-process has been disrespected.

-Since when have you cared about

-the democratic process?

-If she's the employee, then

-you're the devil on her shoulder.

-Very poetic.

-Do you want people to find out that

-Rhiannon was in the dark about this?

-You won't be running

-to Angharad Wynne with this.

-No hospital will be privatized!

-Time will tell.

-How did it go?

-As smooth as silk.

-Tom's eager to work together.

-Excellent. Keep at it.

-Will you? Be running to Angharad?

-You heard what Meirion said.

-We'll have to look for another way.

-Such as?

-Such as?

-

-I don't know yet. We'll ask Ela.

-She's the expert on everything.

-Don't criticize. Ela does her job.

-She behaves

-as if she's already got the job.

-She does not. And maybe Meirion

-hit on another home truth.

-You and Angharad.

-Keeping you both at arm's length

-wouldn't be such a bad thing.

-Do you intend to fully support

-the outline plan?

-In principle.

-But I want to put our stamp on it.

-And Dylan? How will we handle him?

-He'll be fine.

-He'll be fine.

-

-He's not going to change his mind.

-He's always loyal when it comes

-down to it, to me and to the party.

-You don't know him.

-How did it go?

-Great. Everything in place, I think.

-Great. Everything in place, I think.

-

-Good boy!

-Someone's happy.

-Someone's happy.

-

-Why wouldn't I be?

-I'm married to Lowri

-and thankful every day.

-D'you see?

-They're all loyal in the end.

-Will the Health Minister make

-a statement regarding Llanerch...

-..sometime this century?

-A hospital is in special measures,

-and a child has lost his life.

-The allegation is that neglect

-was responsible for his death.

-An allegation.

-What will you do? I'm almost sure

-Rhiannon didn't get the extra money.

-Almost sure. Journalism at its best.

-Will you close it or...?

-Or what?

-Is privatization

-under consideration?

-Your head is in the clouds. Go after

-Catrin and Dylan for a story.

-Why?

-Why?

-

-Another marriage on the skids.

-Oh, no, I forgot.

-You and Owain are happy now.

-Everyone is happy and contented.

-Are you ready to step into the role?

-I've worked for the party for

-four years, two as chief researcher.

-It would be a challenge,

-but I'm ready to learn.

-What would be

-the most important attributes...

-..of an effective press officer?

-Selling. Showing the party and its

-leader in the best light possible.

-I'd work hard to reach that goal

-in a respectful and honest manner.

-Having a healthy relationship with

-the media is extremely important...

-..but one must keep them at arm's

-length and avoid the personal.

-As a party, we've got

-room for improvement in that area.

-Car keys.

-Thanks.

-Yes?

-See you later.

-I'm staying here for a while,

-then I'll be at home.

-I know. You don't have to explain.

-Wow, if only I were a week younger!

-You look great, Lowri.

-Thank you.

-Lots of men

-would swap places with you.

-Yes, so you keep saying.

-DVD and a takeaway?

-Yes, something like that.

-Wrong choice. I hope you won't

-kick yourself in the morning.

-Why would I?

-Good food, loads of booze, people

-who hate each other in one place.

-Who knows what could happen.

-I can't.

-Congratulations.

-Yes, congratulations.

-I got the job.

-I got the job.

-

-I look forward to working with you.

-Maybe you can tell me something

-about Llanerch Hospital.

-No, she can't.

-Cool dude.

-Cool dud more like!

-No, you look great.

-It's a pity I have to go as

-Billy no-mates, but there we are.

-You won't be.

-You won't be.

-

-That's how it feels.

-Alright, I'll come with you.

-Are you sure?

-But you

-have to promise me one thing.

-That you won't go on and on

-about politics all night.

-We don't have to stay long.

-Enjoy.

-Elinor. Put your tongue in this!

-I'd better not.

-Nonsense. All work and no play

-makes Jack a dull beanstalk!

-Come on, bottoms up!

-You're so funny!

-I can't decide

-who looks the most miserable.

-Dylan or you.

-I've sent you an email.

-A few suggestions.

-Strengthen the Trobwynt outline.

-Strengthen the Trobwynt outline.

-

-Are you in favour?

-Not without serious misgivings.

-Understood. We'll stand together.

-The old discipline. And great

-will be our reward in heaven.

-Only if my suggestions are included.

-I'll do what I can, but

-you'll have to keep him in order.

-Like Jack and Jill, except Jack

-is twisting Jill around his finger.

-Are you in the same place as me?

-And where would that be?

-And where would that be?

-

-In no man's land.

-Out of it.

-You might be.

-Could I have a word with you?

-Could I have a word with you?

-

-Of course.

-This privatization. Is that

-what you and Catrin were discussing?

-Not now. Excuse me.

-Did you invite her?

-No, I did. As Owain's wife,

-she has every right to be here.

-Has she been drinking?

-Has she been drinking?

-

-Not to my knowledge.

-You make sure everyone behaves.

-If you'd known,

-you could've brought Tom.

-If I'd brought Tom,

-he wouldn't be standing with me.

-Here you go.

-Here you go.

-

-It's OK, I'm leaving in a moment.

-Drink it. It'll lift your spirits

-by the time Lowri gets home.

-I'm fine. Really.

-No, you're not.

-I know what's worrying you.

-This baby business. Am I right?

-You're looking forward to it,

-but you're scared as well.

-Scared that your life

-is going to change for good.

-Isn't everyone scared of that?

-Isn't everyone scared of that?

-

-Of course.

-But you'll find that all the changes

-are for the better.

-Do you think so?

-As soon as you get used to the poo,

-the cost and the lack of sleep...

-..there are

-years of happiness ahead of you.

-Honestly now.

-Aah, look at them! Together.

-Say something.

-A word.

-How many have you had?

-Why can't you be civil

-with Angharad and your own son?

-You'll die a sad and penitent man.

-Better that than having liver

-failure in a high-dependency unit.

-I'm sorry to talk shop...

-But you're going to anyway,

-no matter what I say.

-Llanerch.

-Is privatization on the table?

-Every option

-must be considered in a crisis.

-So it's true.

-So it's true.

-

-That's not what I said.

-Give me a minute.

-I'll be with you in a sec.

-I'd say it's true.

-I'd say

-you're in favour of the idea.

-Are you confident that everyone

-in the Democrats will support you?

-Absolutely confident.

-Sure?

-Come on, we're leaving.

-Why?

-A word of advice... a warning.

-If you want to plot with the

-Democrats, contact me officially.

-Especially if it involves Llanerch.

-Especially if it involves Llanerch.

-

-He's the constituency member.

-I can speak for myself.

-And say what?

-What should be said.

-What should be said.

-

-At the expense of party unity.

-Since when

-have we spoken with one voice?

-Do you want everyone to know?

-Let's go.

-Stay away, Rhiannon.

-His promises will count for nothing.

-That wasn't very clever.

-Don't you dare make use of this.

-Don't you dare make use of this.

-

-I'm here with my husband.

-Come on, we're leaving.

-What if we met at the hospital?

-In the canteen, maybe?

-Three o'clock. Fine.

-There are over 3,000 names on

-the Friends of Llanerch petition.

-There's a lot of passion...

-..now that they know

-there won't be any more money.

-And how did they find out

-about that?

-Are you going up there?

-I'll come with you.

-It's a chance to meet party members.

-It's nothing to do with the party.

-I'm meeting locals.

-Idris and Cilla Denman will be there

-too. They're my main concern.

-I'll come with you anyway.

-I've arranged to meet Rhiannon.

-Tell Meirion not to worry.

-The questions will be

-exactly what we agreed yesterday.

-Bye now.

-Why didn't you tell me

-it kicked off at the party?

-I didn't need to, did I?

-Hi.

-Work. Do you mind?

-Work. Do you mind?

-

-Carry on.

-We three don't have any secrets now.

-Right, about Meirion's interview...

-Right, about Meirion's interview...

-

-I know what to ask.

-Great.

-Are you serious?

-This is Dad's big moment.

-A child has died, the family's

-in mourning and looking for answers.

-My job is to find them.

-My job is to find them.

-

-You've got a family too.

-Can't you put them first for once?

-Tom!

-Tom!

-

-The answer's no.

-Catrin and Dylan

-are feuding over Llanerch.

-I know what happened last night.

-I know what happened last night.

-

-So you went after all.

-I went with Owain in the end.

-I went with Owain in the end.

-

-Not as a journalist then.

-It doesn't matter, does it?

-It doesn't matter at all. The brief

-is in place. Nothing changes.

-I'll let you sit in the gallery

-to watch that sham.

-I want nothing to do with it!

-Statistics clearly show that

-the service available in England...

-..is streets ahead

-of what we have here.

-He and his Socialists are

-just as responsible for this mess.

-Gareth Denman's tragic case

-is a national disgrace.

-Not a word about

-Llanerch Hospital either.

-TURNS OFF TV

-We can take money

-from the department's coffers...

-..but that'd just be a case

-of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

-In the meantime,

-he's free to vilify us.

-What will be your message

-to the constituency?

-Too many people go to Llanerch's A&E

-instead of going to their doctors.

-We need more surgeries and we need

-to recruit more nurses and doctors.

-At least recruitment

-is relatively affordable.

-I should come with you.

-Good idea.

-Good idea.

-

-No, it's not. Sorry.

-Why isn't it?

-She'd be seen to take action.

-Let me know.

-When I need your advice,

-I'll ask for it.

-It was advice for Rhiannon.

-It was advice for Rhiannon.

-

-What's your suggestion?

-Do nothing.

-Meirion's interview is lunchtime.

-Unbeknown to him, he'll be given a

-hard time, then he'll be the story.

-I've checked

-Rhiannon's restructuring package.

-My time's precious.

-With my amendments,

-it's worth reconsidering.

-Give it to Aled!

-An important day for Tom.

-Did he sleep well?

-Angharad has been in touch.

-If only everything

-was as predictable.

-From bad to worse.

-I'm not sure if I can any more.

-He's talking to Rhiannon.

-You are husband and wife.

-That goes beyond politics.

-If it's a case of fluctuating

-between marriage and career...

-..the choice is simple,

-and I know which way I'd go!

-Don't let him beat you.

-Organize a cabinet meeting

-as soon as possible.

-We'll call for a vote

-before it all goes awry.

-Criticism is part of the job,

-but luckily I have broad shoulders.

-Where do you see yourself

-a year from now, First Minister?

-Fucking hell!

-Lick his arse and be done with it.

-Half a minute to go.

-With God's grace,

-I hope I'll still be here...

-..serving the Welsh people

-to the best of my ability.

-Pass the sick bag.

-What happened to the master plan?

-What happened to the master plan?

-

-Wankers!

-Are you

-still the editor of this shit unit?

-Nothing worse than a bad loser.

-Not her fault.

-She did her best for you.

-When you're at your best,

-things happen.

-Is Owain behind you,

-and is Meirion behind him?

-MOBILE RINGS

-Hi.

-I'll buy you a drink. Tonight.

-Great.

-Payback.

-We're all prostitutes.

-One of these days you're going to be

-caught with your pants down.

-It can be

-a pleasurable experience...

-..in the right company.

-Trobwynt. Privatizing Llanerch.

-Now do you have anything to say?

-An unofficial document.

-An unofficial document.

-

-Which has obviously been leaked.

-By Dylan Williams, no less.

-Did this unofficial document exist

-before Gareth Denman's death?

-No comment.

-No comment.

-

-Are you working with Dylan?

-What about Catrin and the others?

-What about Catrin and the others?

-

-No comment.

-Thanks, Angharad. I'll phone you.

-Did you know?

-Did you know?

-

-No, but I admire his courage.

-Yes, for putting you

-on the back foot.

-Really brave.

-Really brave.

-

-I should've responded straightaway.

-We must make an announcement,

-criticizing privatization.

-Against the Coalition?

-Against the Coalition?

-

-If not, it'll seem she's in favour.

-All because you decided that Dylan

-is Politician Of The Year.

-Meirion is the Politician Of

-The Year following that interview.

-All because your arrangement

-with Angharad failed.

-There was no arrangement.

-Obviously not,

-unlike Tom and Aled's.

-I'll be a bit late home tonight.

-Ed has called a meeting.

-You take the car. I'll get a taxi.

-I had to.

-Just as I have to.

-Are you absolutely certain?

-Ready, Tom?

-Careful, in case people think

-you're touting for business.

-We may all be on the dole soon.

-We may all be on the dole soon.

-

-Will you?

-Did you read what I sent you?

-Did you read what I sent you?

-

-I'm sure Aled has.

-Now Dylan has gone public,

-everyone will be all over it.

-Who knows what Catrin will say.

-Catrin?

-Catrin?

-

-Interview. Six o'clock news.

-Didn't you know?

-Hey!

-Are you going home? Tom said...

-Nothing.

-Were you looking for Tom?

-He went for a pint with the lads.

-Cut him a bit of slack.

-He takes that without asking.

-Well, it could be worse.

-You could be married to Dylan.

-Do you know what?

-I don't give a toss about Dylan.

-Nor Catrin, nor the state of their

-marriage. Do you want to know why?

-Because my marriage

-is in a far worse state.

-The Democrats' stance is clear.

-Attempts

-to revive Llanerch have failed.

-Failure on the part

-of the Health Minister?

-We feel

-the only option is to privatize.

-That's not the opinion of everyone

-in the party.

-It's a sensitive issue.

-Individuals must listen

-to their own conscience.

-Dylan Williams in particular?

-Dylan Williams in particular?

-

-That's a matter for him.

-From the frying pan into the fire.

-Poor them.

-Politically speaking,

-Catrin's made a wise choice.

-At a very high personal cost.

-Dylan's a wild card.

-An honest man.

-Which do you prefer?

-An honest, dull man

-or someone who excites you?

-Hello, boys.

-Thanks.

-Prat.

-I meant Alwyn, not you.

-What did he want?

-No matter what you say,

-he does care.

-But he had nothing to offer.

-But he had nothing to offer.

-

-The health service is a beast.

-A beast that no-one can tame.

-Catrin's doing a good job

-of trying to tame you.

-Put a lid on it, Harri.

-Put a lid on it, Harri.

-

-Don't promise anything.

-You did your best,

-and I respect that.

-Ready for another?

-Go home and hold your head up high.

-It was Harold Wilson who said

-a week is a long time in politics.

-A year feels like a lifetime.

-Thanks for not ruining his day.

-No problem.

-Come here.

-Are you sure?

-Have you eaten?

-This is preferable tonight.

-I'm in the same place as you,

-battered but still...

-..together?

-Early night.

-Early night.

-

-I won't be long.

-Do what you like.

-I'll be in the spare room.

-What did Dylan say after I left?

-He went home like a good boy.

-How's he likely to vote?

-He won't vote in favour.

-He won't vote in favour.

-

-Catrin's intention is clear.

-No matter what Dylan does,

-we'll still lose.

-It'll make my job impossible.

-It'll make my job impossible.

-

-Resign as Health Minister?

-You could come out of it well

-with careful management.

-Are you mad? Your job is to keep her

-in post, not plan an exit strategy.

-He's right.

-He's right.

-

-You said it.

-Behind closed doors.

-A weapon to put pressure on Meirion.

-Look and learn.

-Look and learn.

-

-And what if Meirion refuses to play?

-"Selective privatization

-is one thing...

-"..privatizing indiscriminately

-is unacceptable.

-"If the scheme is implemented,

-I'll have to consider my position."

-And let Catrin get the upper hand.

-She'd never do it.

-I'm with Rhiannon.

-That's why I came.

-I can't support you.

-It's against my principles.

-What could be more principled to

-a Conservative than privatization?

-Everything

-except the health service.

-That's sacred to me.

-To a lot of other people as well.

-I'm sorry.

-Do this and I'll never forgive you.

-I realize

-that I'm disappointing you.

-But at least

-my conscience will be clear.

-Figures?

-Without her, Dylan cosying up

-to the Democrats? No hope.

-How can we get round it?

-Force Rhiannon to say more.

-Turn the tactical threat

-of resigning...

-..into a reality.

-Wouldn't Megan be thrilled...

-..to sink her claws

-into the health portfolio again?

-Through Tom, remember.

-Not a word to her.

-Are you worried that the plans

-to privatize Llanerch...

-..are the thin end of the wedge?

-I hope we'll reach

-a beneficial outcome.

-Is it true you'd only support

-selective privatization...

-..but you'd resign

-if it were indiscriminate?

-No further comment.

-That's what was in the email,

-almost word for word.

-The bastard's

-trying to get rid of me.

-With help from the newsroom.

-"..but you'd resign if Llanerch

-was privatized indiscriminately."

-Did you know?

-Did you know?

-

-It wasn't me who sent it.

-What Tom did was legit.

-Is working

-for the First Minister legit?

-A change from working for you.

-Have you argued?

-Are you going to discipline him?

-Are you going to discipline him?

-

-Why should I?

-Because he's rotten.

-It doesn't matter to me

-what he does in his spare time...

-..as long as he doesn't

-put Rhiannon at a disadvantage.

-Will you discipline him now?

-Send it to my phone.

-Send it to my phone.

-

-No. Send it to me.

-Up?

-Up?

-

-To the top.

-I'm surprised you're still here.

-You were riled this morning.

-You have to hold your ground

-to win the day.

-You're doomed to fail.

-Our marriage is strong.

-That was proved yesterday.

-Was Dad put in an awkward position?

-No. She decided to ignore you.

-Is that what she said?

-I feel sorry for you.

-There's no point crying.

-What's going on?

-It's not what you think.

-It's not what you think.

-

-Isn't it? Do you deny it?

-I can't believe it. You're married.

-You're going to be a father.

-Your personal life

-is your personal life...

-..but you've dug yourself a hole...

-..professionally.

-It's never a good idea to get

-too close to a special adviser.

-Filth. That's what it is.

-Filth. That's what it is.

-

-Alright!

-It's only

-the three of us and Harri who know.

-Do you trust him

-not to open his mouth?

-As long as he gets what he wants.

-If this gets out...

-If this gets out...

-

-It won't.

-This is what you do.

-You break off every contact

-with Aled and Meirion's office...

-..and everything you do from now on

-has to come through me.

-Don't worry,

-he's back reading the news.

-Does Lowri know?

-Does Lowri know?

-

-Poor thing!

-You should tell her.

-Before the end of the day,

-d'you hear me? Or I'll tell her.

-Rhiannon is on the back foot

-and they can't broadcast it.

-If they did, Harri would be sure

-to reveal the truth.

-About Tom and...?

-Did you have to be so careless?

-You were aware of it,

-approving of it, if I might say.

-Publicly?

-He was waiting for us.

-He was waiting for us.

-

-It shows he's more cunning than you.

-I'm sure there are other options.

-Let's wait to see

-what happens in the cabinet.

-Options?

-I've nothing to offer Megan.

-Are you stupid as well as careless?

-What's wrong?

-I've been caught...

-..on a mobile...

-..kissing Aled.

-Playing around. A total one-off.

-You know what he's like.

-He's been after me for months.

-I was under pressure.

-Are you crying for me

-or for yourself?

-I don't want to lose you.

-Who took the picture? Who knows?

-Harri took it.

-Angharad and Ed know.

-Aled and Meirion too.

-But it won't go any further.

-I've forced myself

-not to ask you this question...

-..because

-I was scared of the answer.

-Are you gay?

-Are you gay?

-

-How can I be?

-I'm with you.

-I love you.

-Now and again, it's worth shaking

-the tree for a second time...

-..to see what happens.

-And that's exactly what I did

-to the reserve fund tree.

-And behold! Two million pounds

-fell from somewhere.

-Two million that can be given

-to Llanerch Hospital.

-An outline, a recommendation only.

-It's a shame that some around this

-table have behaved irresponsibly...

-..which lead others to overreact.

-It's thanks to me because

-I threatened to vote against.

-I thought you were responsible.

-I thought you were responsible.

-

-She's a fantasist. Let her be.

-Am I going to get an explanation?

-Am I going to get an explanation?

-

-The dark arts. No, you're not.

-That was better than expected.

-Rhiannon's had a bargain.

-The best bargain she ever got

-was Harri James.

-What can we do?

-I wish I knew but I'm not giving up.

-There's nothing we can do.

-Meirion has kicked you once again.

-He's not the only one.

-I phoned Carys. Where would you

-like to go for supper?

-Do you know what makes me mad?

-Not that you lied about saving Dad.

-That's to be expected, but that I

-was stupid enough to believe you.

-Not to mention

-what happened afterwards.

-If I'd told the truth,

-it wouldn't have happened at all.

-That's a pity then, isn't it?

-And in case you're trying to guess

-how and why... Harri!

-What would we do without him?

-Leave him alone.

-He doesn't want your attention.

-He's not like that.

-Sorry, like what? He doesn't like

-sex with men? Is that what you mean?

-A kiss. That's all it was, and

-he regrets it with all his heart.

-So who exactly was on top of me

-yesterday? In the flat, in my bed?

-Not for the first time.

-Another Tom, probably.

-You're a lying bastard.

-You don't know him.

-You have no idea who he is.

-Lowri knows everything.

-This came in the post.

-Look, I opened it.

-Do you want supper?

-I'm starving.

-I've decided to leave.

-The party.

-Are you joining her?

-It's nothing to do with her.

-I'm not promoting elected mayors

-and that's the end of it.

-Let's say I'm looking to the future.

-Someone has to take my place.

-Why do I have to urge my own husband

-to remember he has a wife?

-I never meant to hurt you.

-Did you get me the job? Yes or no?

-Did you get me the job? Yes or no?

-

-Who said that?

-Do you think attacking Owain

-is the best way to get at me?

-No, but maybe I'm desperate.

-Angharad and this Harri?

-I seriously doubt it.

-Lowri deserves to know

-who you really are.

-What have you told her?

-What have you told her?

-

-That we've done more than just kiss.
