Pennod 6 Byw Celwydd

-Subtitles

-Don't, Tom. I can't.

-If you're not careful, she'll get

-fed up of being treated like dirt.

-I understand I need to buy a hat.

-I think that time apart

-would do us both good.

-You're not being serious.

-There are rumours that Dylan left

-and that Catrin kicked him out.

-Who knows.

-Can you fetch Jac from school today?

-Can you fetch Jac from school today?

-

-I'm on a course in Swansea.

-I haven't spoken to him.

-I haven't spoken to him.

-

-I'll sort something.

-OK, Ed. I'll phone him now.

-What's the problem?

-Where will you be?

-There's no problem.

-I've been offered a job.

-Young family, two children.

-I'm meeting them this afternoon.

-You have a job.

-You have a job.

-

-I was going to tell you later.

-Just like that? Without warning?

-Just like that? Without warning?

-

-Hold on. Why? What's the matter?

-Jac will be gutted.

-Jac will be gutted.

-

-I dote on him. You know that.

-But I sense tensions growing...

-..and I'm not always appreciated.

-But I'll still be here for a while.

-But I'll still be here for a while.

-

-No. No, you won't.

-Put your keys on the table and go.

-You can fetch your stuff

-when I'm not here.

-It's true then.

-It's true then.

-

-What?

-That you and Catrin have separated.

-That you and Catrin have separated.

-

-It's none of your business.

-But, yes. Temporarily.

-If it affects Rhiannon,

-it's my business.

-Will you make an announcement?

-Will Catrin? Let us know.

-Not a word until I've spoken to her.

-Oh. So you're still speaking. Good.

-Angharad?

-No idea, I haven't seen him.

-No. No comment.

-Will this be a political hazard?

-Political... personal...

-He's left his wife,

-Rhiannon's single. Keep up, Ela.

-Why did Angharad phone you?

-I'm the press officer.

-Who's covering Catrin's conference?

-You or me?

-You. Put pressure on Lowri. Find out

-all you can about Catrin and Dylan.

-Catrin's Women Ahead campaign.

-She won't want to talk about Dylan.

-I'd like to put pressure on her.

-I'd like to put pressure on her.

-

-Sorry?

-Lowri. And listen,

-Catrin's campaign is bollocks.

-It's a feeble attempt to hide

-the fact her husband's a wimp.

-And he's not the only fool

-to turn his back on his marriage.

-I'm going to start my own campaign.

-There aren't enough

-Welsh-speaking nannies.

-Is what I hear true?

-Was it your choice?

-An impossible situation.

-There was no choice.

-And work? How are you getting on

-with Produce Promotion Wales?

-It's in motion. I'm hoping to get

-something online today or tomorrow.

-The feedback has been very positive.

-Great. Stick with it.

-Did you get the email?

-Are you coming to the conference?

-Are you coming to the conference?

-

-Are you sure I'll be welcome?

-Of course. Everyone's welcome.

-Of course. Everyone's welcome.

-

-Yes, OK.

-How are you?

-Busy. I'm focusing

-on the things that count.

-Lowri Ogwen-Jones.

-No, no comment.

-Why haven't these been distributed?

-Why haven't these been distributed?

-

-The phone hasn't stopped.

-Twitter's on overkill.

-Twitter's on overkill.

-

-Rhiannon's coming.

-So is Megan Ashford.

-So is Megan Ashford.

-

-Is she? There's hope for us all!

-Spit it out.

-I'm not sure about this conference.

-Unfortunate timing.

-They'll want to know

-about you and Dylan.

-Then they'll all be disappointed.

-A serious accident has occurred

-at Symonds-Wear clothing factory...

-..near Caernarfon.

-Many are believed to be injured,

-two seriously.

-The cause of the accident

-is unclear and details are scarce.

-PHONE RINGS CONTINUOUSLY

-Hi, Ed. Yes, yes, I'm on my way.

-I'll take you to the house

-and I'll phone the school.

-You said

-you'd come with me to school.

-I'll send a photo. It's only ten

-minutes from here. You'll be fine.

-The picture is bleak.

-Over the past ten years, the number

-of women on boards or councils...

-..has fallen substantially.

-Raising awareness, promotion and the

-appointment of women to top jobs.

-That's the intention and the aim

-of Women Ahead which, by the way...

-..will be a cross-party campaign.

-Questions from the floor.

-Questions from the floor.

-

-Does the Minister...?

-What about women who've got to

-the top without help from anyone...

-..just by using

-their own ability and talent?

-I don't understand the point.

-Aren't they going to feel...

-..that such a campaign

-would be a little bit patronizing?

-That's clearly your opinion.

-Next question. Tom?

-I've got to where I am...

-..through hard work and commitment

-without help from anyone.

-You've nothing else in your life.

-You've nothing else in your life.

-

-What else do you have in your life?

-Is it true you've separated?

-Is it true you've separated?

-

-I'm here to talk about Women Ahead.

-In the wake of his decision

-to join the Nationalists.

-Thank you all for coming.

-There'll be more statements

-in the coming weeks and months.

-In the meantime...

-..for more information,

-visit Women Ahead on our website.

-The roof?

-Part of it.

-Fortunately, there were only twenty

-on the factory floor at the time.

-One too many if there's a fatality.

-Not at the moment,

-and it's too soon for speculation.

-It could be a number of things.

-A modern building constructed

-barely 18 months ago.

-That suggests one thing to me.

-Any sign of Carwyn Symonds?

-Catrin needs pulling down a peg

-or two. Who does she think she is?

-What's wrong?

-More facts. We must be on our toes.

-Keep all the sheep in the fold.

-Something far more important

-than Catrin Williams.

-Where is he? Ysbyty Gwynedd. Right.

-Which ward?

-Rhiannon Roberts's constituency...

-..but the Department of Business &

-Economic Development gave the grant.

-Find out, Bri. Phone me.

-There's no connection,

-First Minister Meirion Llywelyn...

-I'll call you back.

-Are you apportioning blame already?

-Rhiannon.

-An unfortunate accident. Most

-unfortunate. What can we do to help?

-Only one worker

-is in a critical condition.

-The remainder

-have suffered minor injuries.

-Right, you and me together.

-How about a joint statement?

-At an appropriate time.

-Let me know.

-Did you hear that?

-Did you hear that?

-

-No. What did he want?

-A joint statement.

-The sensible thing to do, I suppose.

-For him. How much do we know?

-Not a lot. We don't know the cause.

-Not a lot. We don't know the cause.

-

-Angharad will know more.

-Don't bother.

-You won't come between them.

-I've tried more than once.

-Thanks for coming.

-I thought

-perhaps something like this.

-"We would like to confirm...

-"..that we have agreed

-to live apart temporarily...

-"..in the hope that our problems

-can be solved in due course.

-"We acknowledge...

-"..and respect the fact that

-we have our political differences...

-"..but we wish each other well."

-Is it necessary

-to use the word respect?

-A cliche, yes, but that's the norm.

-A cliche, yes, but that's the norm.

-

-A cliche and a lie.

-Not for me.

-I respect you, and I very much

-want us to remain friends.

-Anything else?

-Bloody Nora!

-What are you doing here?

-You gave me a fright!

-I could ask you the same thing!

-No, let me guess.

-You're the new nanny.

-Helping out, that's all.

-Do you think you could

-come to the school with me...

-..in case I get lost?

-Then I'll know where to go tomorrow.

-Are you staying? If you say so.

-The injured worker has been moved to

-the spinal unit at Stoke Mandeville.

-Find out who the architects were,

-the builders...

-A joint statement, Dylan and Catrin.

-What does it say?

-The usual shit about respect and

-remaining friends. Is it familiar?

-Get lost, Ed.

-See you in court, darling!

-What did you find out?

-They've gone silent for now.

-Not Dylan and Catrin. The accident.

-Meirion came to see us earlier.

-Change the record, Harri. Meirion's

-not responsible for every disaster.

-His department, Business & Economic

-Development, gave the grant.

-But then, I'm sure you're right.

-I'll phone you back.

-Meirion is very keen to make

-a statement about the accident.

-Rhiannon

-is the local representative.

-How would you like a trip

-to North Wales?

-When?

-Today. Now.

-By yourself?

-Of course.

-How would I know?

-These days, if you say it's raining,

-I have to go to the window to check.

-It's easier for you if I'm away.

-Empty bed.

-Perhaps.

-I understand, OK?

-It'll take time.

-Nothing's going to happen

-until you're totally comfortable.

-And I'm happy with that.

-Careful on the road.

-Why did you come back?

-I said I'd sort it out.

-Because I doubted that you would.

-And I was right.

-Do you usually come home this late?

-More often than not.

-More often than not.

-

-That's not true. Where's Jac?

-Bed. You never went to bed without

-saying goodnight to your parents.

-Oh, happy days!

-What's happening tomorrow?

-Mam will be here.

-You haven't found anyone, have you?

-You haven't found anyone, have you?

-

-I'll find someone tomorrow.

-.

-Which list is that, Mr Roberts?

-Go and sit down, Elsi.

-To the corner?

-To the corner?

-

-Interesting.

-Anything else?

-Don't talk nonsense.

-A banana's a banana.

-He likes to eat it like a monkey.

-Bloody hell!

-Thank you, Mr Roberts.

-I'm extremely grateful to you.

-I want to go home.

-I want to go home.

-

-Please stay.

-As soon as you're back from work,

-I'll want to go! And don't be late!

-Local member visiting the site.

-Local member visiting the site.

-

-Sudamore Construction.

-An outside company not on the list

-of preferred suppliers.

-That type of thing, yes.

-That type of thing, yes.

-

-I wasn't aware of this.

-Nor of the fact the council had

-appointed an independent inspector.

-Dan Roberts, a councillor, told me.

-He's one of your crowd.

-Where is this going?

-All the way to the Bankruptcy Court

-in owner Carwyn Symonds's case.

-Right.

-He had a factory in Dublin,

-financed with government money.

-It went to the wall. A similar story

-in Edinburgh, government money.

-My biggest concern at the time

-was creating 200 new jobs.

-Nobody would expect me to be aware

-of every single detail.

-Was that Meirion's responsibility?

-Isn't there a clip of the two of you

-hand in hand outside the factory?

-Side by side.

-Side by side.

-

-Looking quite content.

-You didn't want to know yesterday.

-Well, I want to know today.

-So do you have any comments to make?

-Well, since he was courteous enough

-to visit us yesterday...

-..the least I can do

-is to return the compliment.

-What exactly are you doing?

-My job. Arranging Friday's visit.

-Angharad is the job. You can't

-hand her an opportunity on a plate.

-You have to be

-at least one step ahead.

-As you are, obviously.

-"Hope and jobs for the electorate"

-said Rhiannon Roberts...

-"..as she congratulated

-the owner of Symonds..."

-Carwyn Symonds - as slimy as an eel.

-Right up your street.

-Never met him.

-You're slipping, Harri,

-just like that eel.

-If there's any shit here,

-it's all on Meirion's doorstep.

-Rhiannon was supportive.

-She went up for the shindig. End of.

-I see. Give Meirion a slap

-to deflect attention from Rhiannon.

-A result for you.

-A challenging situation for me.

-Bankrupt. Not once, but twice!

-How is it you didn't know?

-The new children's unit

-in Carmarthen.

-What do you know about

-the background of the builders?

-Can you name those

-in charge of the final report?

-Your department then.

-If there were concerns,

-I wasn't aware of them.

-We shouldn't cry over spilt milk.

-You were more than happy when the

-venture came to your constituency.

-No complaints. No questions raised.

-No complaints. No questions raised.

-

-What do you know that I don't?

-What time is it?

-Sorry, Rhiannon.

-I have a pressing engagement.

-Right, but I want you

-to understand one thing.

-If Angharad Wynne

-finds anything untoward...

-..you will be on your own.

-What does it say?

-"Perhaps we women

-should support each other first...

-"..before getting involved

-in the male business world."

-You started it, good girl.

-Go to the Nationalists' website.

-"Produce Promotion Wales"

-Does that sound familiar?

-The lazy git hasn't even

-bothered to change the name.

-Produce Promotion Wales

-is a Democrats' idea.

-Policy?

-In all fairness, it was my idea.

-You have such a nerve to talk

-about fairness. You stole it.

-You launched it to take the wind

-from the sails of my campaign.

-I'm not sure that's true.

-I'm not sure that's true.

-

-With your support, no doubt.

-You walked out of my conference.

-With good reason.

-Listen, promoting Welsh food and

-drink overseas under one umbrella...

-..is hardly an original idea.

-Would I ask you not to fight for...

-..smaller class sizes in primary

-schools because I support the same?

-It's something we can all support.

-It's something we can all support.

-

-We'll see when it comes to Cabinet.

-Finance will be needed

-to establish a body like that.

-And finance to run it.

-And finance to run it.

-

-Don't tell me you'll oppose it!

-I'll let you know.

-Carwyn Symonds is a fully paid-up

-member of the New Conservatives.

-Hardly a big surprise

-for a businessman.

-He joined 18 months ago.

-He joined 18 months ago.

-

-Is he a donor?

-I don't know, but someone from Arfon

-has been incredibly generous.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Come in.

-I brought you tea and a biscuit.

-Sorry. You're probably busy.

-No, not really,

-and you didn't need to knock.

-Force of habit,

-when a man's at work....

-Not in this house.

-I'm sorry I lost it this morning.

-Jac can be very particular.

-No, it's not your fault.

-And I'll know better next time.

-Rather late in the day.

-Get in touch with Gus.

-That's what I'm trying to avoid.

-Gus Evans didn't become

-cabinet secretary by being helpful.

-Why not take it straight to Meirion?

-Why not take it straight to Meirion?

-

-He's up to his eyeballs.

-Gwynfor! Excuse me.

-One message.

-Do not issue a press release.

-It sounds like a good idea.

-It sounds like a good idea.

-

-Cross-party I hope.

-Some people oppose it though,

-and not for the right reasons.

-They're looking for a chance

-to belittle you.

-Phone me first.

-Don't talk to anyone else.

-Dylan. Are you still here?

-I'll do my best, OK?

-Should I speak to Gus, so you can

-focus your attention on the crisis?

-What crisis?

-You're way off the mark.

-Up to now.

-What do you have to say

-about Mary Jones?

-She walked every step of the way

-to Bala to buy a Bible.

-Mary Jones, Bontnewydd,

-who contributed 50,000...

-..to the New Conservatives' coffers.

-Even one or two people

-in Arfon realize...

-..that conservatism

-is the way forward.

-The donation

-was registered exactly one week...

-..before Carwyn Symonds received

-a grant to open Symonds-Wear...

-..in the same area.

-No comment.

-Get hold of Mary Jones before anyone

-else gets their claws into her.

-Put the words in her mouth,

-word for word.

-If Angharad sends Tom on a recce,

-put a lid on him too.

-A very easy job for you, no doubt.

-How did he do it?

-A word in Aled's ear.

-It's easy to turn him

-around one's little finger.

-To get it on the agenda.

-Is that what you mean?

-Yes.

-There's nothing we can do.

-We can do quite a lot

-when it's discussed.

-Is there any point?

-It's not a bad idea.

-We'd support it if Dylan presented

-it in our political colours.

-But that's not what he's doing,

-and I can't forgive him.

-You should.

-You have to,

-otherwise there's no way forward.

-Give him a chance.

-Hey, what shall we do? Eat out?

-I'm going home.

-I'm going home.

-

-OK, takeaway.

-No, I'm washing my hair.

-Today was just work. I'm fine now.

-You'll give me a hard time tomorrow.

-Well, I'm not fine.

-You and Angharad. What is it?

-Rhiannon's seen it,

-and I'm beginning to see it too.

-Sorry! I know I'm late.

-Is everyone alright?

-I apologized for this morning.

-We understand each other better now.

-Hello?

-Hiya.

-Would you mind staying

-until tomorrow?

-No luck.

-Mam?

-Yes, alright.

-Right. A glass of wine. Where is it?

-What'll you have?

-Nothing for me.

-Nonsense! Could I have a glass

-for my friend, please?

-Wonderful.

-You have reason to celebrate.

-Quite a triumph.

-I know the right people.

-I know who to flatter.

-Megan Ashford wasn't too difficult

-a challenge, I have to admit.

-Congratulations.

-No Ela tonight?

-Just you and me.

-In the same party.

-In the same bachelors' club.

-I don't think so.

-The A470's a bastard.

-Anyway, how are you, sweetie?

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Hold on, someone's at the door.

-I'll phone you back.

-.

-Mary Jones, Gorphwysfa, Bontnewydd.

-Find out if there's any connection

-between her and Carwyn Symonds.

-And Tom,

-don't come back empty-handed.

-Another busy day ahead?

-Alright! I promise

-I'll do something about it today.

-Hold on, when's your mother

-back from the Wirral?

-You can't rely on her.

-You can't rely on her.

-

-You can rely on me.

-I'll stay until the end of the week.

-We're getting to know each other.

-Give me five minutes.

-That's all I'm asking.

-You want me to hold back, so you can

-tell Mary Jones not to talk to me.

-Please, Tom, cut me some slack.

-Please, Tom, cut me some slack.

-

-You want me to submit.

-Just because

-I shagged you last night.

-It doesn't work that way.

-It doesn't work that way.

-

-But I am part of your plans.

-Not if you behave

-like a prima donna.

-I'm off.

-I'm off.

-

-Tom, please...

-It must be a hell of a story if

-you're so desperate to shut her up.

-Tom...! Shit!

-Meirion?

-Yes, Catrin, I have read your email,

-but there's nothing I can do.

-The Conservative block

-in the Cabinet could kill the idea.

-Perhaps,

-but I have bigger fish to fry.

-This isn't personal. Dylan lost the

-leadership race for the Democrats.

-Now, he could steam ahead again

-with Rhiannon's full support.

-Ah! Rhiannon. I'm not picking

-a fight with her just at the moment.

-Why?

-Perhaps I could comply

-with your needs any other day...

-..but not today.

-Thank you.

-Well?

-Well?

-

-Mary Jones died.

-What? Today?

-Eighteen months ago.

-Three months before 50,000 was

-donated to the New Conservatives.

-Who paid that money in?

-Meirion?

-Meirion?

-

-Angharad?

-Was Aled there?

-Why would I want to speak to him?

-He's in North Wales. No idea why.

-I've got a pretty good idea.

-Nothing.

-There must be something we can do.

-Is there? You have to accept

-that some battles just can't be won.

-Brilliant, Tom. Send me a copy.

-You'll never believe

-who Mary Jones's executor is.

-Angharad Wynne, News. I'd like

-a meeting with the First Minister.

-Oh, I think he'll find time

-when he hears what I've got to say.

-Poor Mary Jones. That long journey

-to Bala must've finished her off.

-May she rest in peace.

-She was Carwyn Symonds's aunt.

-Aunt and nephew.

-Aunt and nephew.

-

-A coincidence.

-Was the donation to your party...

-..on the same day as

-the grant awarded a coincidence too?

-Absolutely.

-And that Mary Jones

-was already dead when this happened.

-Her dying wish, I'm sure.

-It wasn't in her will.

-Verbally.

-And who would she have told?

-Her solicitor, I'd imagine.

-Or the executor of the will.

-Did you know that

-Carwyn Symonds was the executor?

-Theories. Guesswork.

-A list of coincidences.

-That's all this is. Excuse me.

-The cameraman's meeting me outside.

-Yes, yes. Rub my nose in it.

-Apart from the fact

-this Mary Jones business...

-..stinks

-from arsehole to breakfast time...

-..and you're in for it

-when you get back...

-..have you enjoyed your trip?

-I have.

-Very much.

-Why the hell did you bring her here?

-For her to see you

-in all your glory.

-On the job.

-I brought her here so that

-you'd get a glimpse of the future.

-Until you get to grips with this

-problem you personally created...

-..I will be bringing her here

-every day.

-Where do things stand?

-Can I deliver as promised, you mean?

-Mother didn't raise a monkey.

-The whole group?

-Each and every one.

-Waiter? Two more, please.

-If you can get this done...

-..and with our support,

-there's no reason why you can't...

-..what role do you see for me

-when the agency is on its feet?

-Oh! Er, well...

-..the agency itself

-will be managed directly...

-..by civil servants or appointments

-from the private sector.

-Not even a tiny crumb for me? Shame.

-It'd be a missed opportunity

-to show the Coalition at work.

-What if

-we launch the project together?

-Splendid!

-And I have a suggestion to make.

-We launch here in the open air with

-the beautiful bay as our backdrop.

-That's significant because exporting

-Welsh produce is our objective.

-God bless this ship

-and all who sail in her.

-Who invited who, I wonder.

-D'you know what,

-poison and jealousy...

-..aren't attractive features

-in anyone.

-The same day?

-Within hours, Symonds contributed

-to the New Conservatives...

-..grant signed off.

-What else?

-I'm not sure,

-and I've no solid proof...

-..but sense tells me

-that a roof on a new build...

-..doesn't collapse

-without good reason.

-Did Carwyn Symonds finish the job

-in haste for the sake of profit?

-Bearing in mind his previous,

-the narrative fits.

-But were Meirion's officials...

-..at the Department of Business &

-Economic Development aware of this?

-It would be interesting to see

-what the paperwork shows.

-But it's impossible for me

-to access it.

-What?

-Are we now officially cooperating?

-I just said it'd be interesting.

-Meirion wants to go to North Wales

-with Rhiannon.

-Good PR.

-Good PR.

-

-Good for him, shit for her.

-I've agreed.

-I've agreed.

-

-No. There might be more to come out.

-What did Angharad have to say today?

-I'm just asking you

-to have faith in me.

-In the meantime, you can't be seen

-anywhere near Meirion.

-Oh, pain. What measure? How great?

-I can't help it

-that Mary Jones died.

-An unexpected

-turn of events for everyone.

-Perhaps so,

-but you never questioned...

-..why a widow was willing

-to contribute so generously?

-Nobody did at the time.

-I hope there isn't another

-skeleton lurking in the closet.

-Well?

-I happened to see Harri

-on the way in.

-The joint visit to North Wales

-has been postponed.

-Cancelled, to be precise.

-Phone Catrin.

-It brings back

-so many memories of your father.

-Don't get upset, Mam.

-Why shouldn't I?

-I don't want to forget.

-Alright?

-Great. I can't wait

-to have a laugh with the boys.

-Ow, the weekend...

-I'll sort something out.

-I promise.

-I know you're busy.

-Bye.

-Hi.

-Yes. Hang on.

-Yes, I can.

-There's the report.

-There's the civil servant's comment.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-I've come to communicate.

-Oh, Ela...

-Did you know

-she was going to turn up?

-Thanks for letting me know.

-The New Conservatives' cabinet group

-intends to oppose Dylan's plan.

-Did he say why?

-Did he say why?

-

-Due to costs, officially.

-But someone's

-obviously trod on his toes.

-I just hope I get to break

-the good news to Lord Muck.

-Hello, Tom!

-Nice trip?

-Work.

-Whose idea? His or yours?

-It was him at your door, wasn't it?

-We hadn't planned it.

-Whatever happened, you mean?

-I'm gay.

-Hiya. Is Catrin here?

-I need details...

-The U-turn? Popular, obviously.

-She's keen to meet us. Bethan,

-a girl at the gig last night.

-Does she have any qualifications?

-She speaks Welsh, she's available,

-she likes children. Good enough?

-Just checking.

-Have you checked your mother? Do you

-have a licence to drive a pram?

-I hope she can do day and night.

-Eh, Jac?

-I presume she can.

-She'd be useless otherwise.

-You be sure. What would've happened

-last night if it weren't for me?

-Come on, let's pack your bag.

-Are you going to tell me

-or do I have to ask?

-Work. I had to see him.

-Did your phone just stop working?

-Your PC? Was the Internet down?

-I had to be with him in the same

-room. I can't tell you more.

-Hotel room?

-Yes.

-Hotel room? Harri?

-That rings many bells.

-I knew you'd react like this.

-It's why I didn't mention it.

-The Symonds-Wear accident.

-Did you know your civil servants

-had raised concerns over the build?

-No comment.

-Why didn't you see this coming?

-I thought you had a handle on him.

-So did I.

-Another idea. Launch the boat

-on the water literally.

-Oh?

-Hire a boat.

-Hold the launch out in the Bay.

-You're Captain, I'm First Mate!

-Very original.

-But wouldn't that be taking

-the concept a little too far?

-Don't you like the suggestion?

-Don't you like the suggestion?

-

-On the contrary, very much so.

-But I have a confession.

-I'm a very poor sailor!

-Produce Promotion Wales? What a

-pity you'll have to shelve the idea.

-Didn't you know?

-Meirion's changed his mind.

-Excuse me.

-Today is going to be a good day.

-For you perhaps.

-For you perhaps.

-

-What's wrong?

-Tom. He's left me.

-Look, no message.

-No checking if I'm alright.

-Nothing. Not even a sorry.

-Where is he?

-You thought it was

-one drunken kiss, didn't you?

-Well, you were wrong.

-It's much, much more.

-It's everything.

-Did you two know?

-Come to the house

-to collect your shit.

-Meirion et al won't be supporting

-Produce Promotion Wales.

-Catrin informed me

-with a smile on her face.

-Cancelling the visit

-annoyed him more than we thought.

-Whose brilliant idea was that?

-There'll be another opportunity.

-There'll be another opportunity.

-

-A good idea. Bad timing.

-Perhaps I haven't been

-considerate enough...

-..under the circumstances.

-Angharad has made

-a valid application...

-..to see this document.

-The departmental report

-on the decision to award the grant.

-How did she know about it?

-Someone must've put her

-on the right track.

-A note of warning is included

-under the Advice heading.

-Second page. Concerns

-over the building's structure.

-Specifically,

-the quality of the steel used.

-Why haven't I seen this before?

-Why haven't I seen this before?

-

-You haven't, if that's the spin.

-And that's your advice.

-That's what it would've been if the

-chair of the Scrutiny Committee...

-..hadn't called you

-to give evidence.

-Sackcloth and ashes, Meirion.

-Admit your mistakes.

-Acknowledge blame.

-But not everything, of course.

-A subject of mockery.

-They'll have a field day.

-It'd help matters if Rhiannon

-put in a good word for you.

-The post of First Minister,

-the status of the post itself...

-..is of the utmost importance to me,

-whoever the incumbent.

-It is the embodiment of our growing

-maturity as a people and a nation.

-But to have an ex-librarian such as

-Alwyn challenge that very status...

-..is humiliating and belittling.

-I'll do my best

-to show the same respect...

-..when the reins are in my hands.

-That'll be sooner than expected!

-Don't worry. I'm only half serious.

-Right, out with it,

-I haven't got all day.

-How much did you know?

-How much do you know now?

-Sometimes,

-in one's enthusiasm to please...

-..one loses sight of the details.

-Or perhaps the people around you

-are overprotective.

-A good word.

-Through the back door, of course.

-That's all I ask.

-And what's lurking

-in the sweetie bag?

-A fund to support

-the Symonds-Wear workforce...

-..until each one of them

-is employed again.

-Or until the attention

-has gone elsewhere.

-You would manage the fund,

-and you would receive the plaudits.

-On one condition.

-That you will not be

-associated with it in any way.

-Oh, and one other thing.

-Dylan is a disappointed man.

-And, for once, he's not responsible.

-He's also fed up of Megan.

-How can we lift his spirits?

-Another blow for Catrin.

-I don't really have much time.

-I don't really have much time.

-

-There's no hurry, Elsi.

-It's important that I speak

-to both of you. It's a big decision.

-Yes?

-How would you like it

-if I came here to live...

-..and be responsible

-for looking after Jac?

-Do you mean sell your home?

-Do you mean sell your home?

-

-Perhaps, in time.

-Well, that's...

-That's a very generous offer.

-But it's a lot of work

-and a big responsibility.

-Alright, but...

-Well, it's not just up to me.

-What if we say three months

-to start with? Then see how it goes.

-A good idea.

-What about... Bethan?

-Was that her name?

-Not half as sensible

-or responsible as your mother.

-What did he want?

-Comfort. A bit of support.

-Have you agreed?

-Have you agreed?

-

-I haven't returned empty-handed.

-Dylan will be smiling again.

-Dylan will be smiling again.

-

-To hell with Dylan!

-You give him far too much attention.

-Why are you helping Meirion?

-Why do you always step back?

-There was no way Meirion knew that

-Carwyn Symonds was such a crook.

-He deserves to have his butt whipped

-but not to be crucified. Not yet.

-I had nothing to do with

-Meirion's latest change of mind.

-No, you don't have to do anything

-while Rhiannon's accommodating you.

-Where's the man who used to

-stand on his own two feet?

-Did you speak to Meirion?

-No.

-I thought we understood each other.

-Captain and First Mate.

-Unfortunately, Megan...

-..that insane fantasy

-exists only in your own head.

-Shouldn't the process of selecting

-companies and individuals...

-..who receive grants from the All-

-Wales Government be more thorough?

-As the Member knows too well...

-..it is possible to put one's faith

-in an individual...

-..and that, ultimately,

-that individual will disappoint.

-Was there a deal

-between you and Rhiannon Roberts...

-..before the factory was built?

-Sorry, I've forgotten who you are.

-Robin Orme-Evans, Britain First.

-Ah! One of the swallows.

-I remember now.

-No, no arrangement

-between Rhiannon and myself.

-First Minister,

-would you care to explain...

-..why you ignored

-the serious concerns...

-..raised by

-some of your own civil servants?

-All of us in this room are servants.

-Civil or otherwise, here to serve

-the good people who elected us.

-When 200 jobs are at stake...

-..we must evaluate carefully

-and put some matters to one side.

-My priority, as always, was to do

-what was best for the people.

-Though the First Minister was

-under the cosh, he was supported...

-..by Nationalists' leader and main

-government partner Rhiannon Roberts.

-There is no doubt

-that his intentions were honourable.

-He'd be the first to admit that the

-grant system needs to be addressed.

-Is Dylan's tail wagging the dog?

-I'm right. You're slipping, Harri.

-Well, perhaps my focus

-will be better from now on.

-Ela and I are over.

-Did I need to know that?

-I'm not surprised though. You

-and Ela were never going to work.

-A good day?

-Not really, no thanks to the news

-department and your efforts.

-Seriously,

-this is how things are going to be.

-Whatever else I am,

-I'm still a journalist.

-And what else are you, Tom?

-Is it OK

-if I move my stuff in tonight?

-No, to hell with them.

-We're having a drink.

-A coffee for me.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Can I come in?

-Can I come in?

-

-There's no point.

-I know last night looked bad and you

-have every right to be suspicious...

-..but it was work.

-This will take me some time, but

-if you're willing to be patient...

-Do you just want to carry on

-as if nothing has happened?

-No, move on, move in perhaps.

-Move in with me?

-I want you to realize

-that I'm serious.

-As a good Conservative,

-I don't object to fracking...

-..but that's not

-what we're talking about.

-I need loyal souls around me.

-Loyal to me and to the cause.

-Some people are too vile to respect.

-Some people are too vile to respect.

-

-Some people can't help who they are.

-What exactly do you want?

-What exactly do you want?

-

-Fracking.

-Owain and Elinor thought it'd be a

-good idea if we had another child.

-No way!

-That's the last thing I'd advise.

-You live like a student, and

-I'm trying to put things in order.

-What things?

-What things?

-

-Our relationship.
