-Amazing. How did he manage it?

-I'm sure Alwyn's shitting a brick.

-I won't be long. See you there.

-Do you have to go now?

-Do you have to go now?

-

-Matthew Desmond's on a roll.

-Who the hell is Matthew Desmond?

-Who the hell is Matthew Desmond?

-

-Ceredigion's Independent candidate.

-That study needs a makeover.

-It's not the end of the world,

-but we have to try harder.

-Sliding to fourth in a week? What

-would you call the end of the world?

-Opinion polls aren't a true

-reflection of how people vote.

-These voters are an exception.

-These voters are an exception.

-

-You should've gone there more often.

-I went on a visit last week.

-I went on a visit last week.

-

-One visit? It's not enough.

-Desmond's second because

-he lives in the constituency.

-Let's focus

-on the days we have left.

-I'm party leader.

-I have to be campaigning in the Bay.

-Of course. You have to get one over

-on Rhiannon and suck up to Meirion.

-Where did you get that idea?

-I don't suck up to anyone!

-Catrin! One more step

-and we'll be in the same boat.

-Crikey, your boat's already sunk...

-..with the

-Captain and First Mate following.

-That makes you

-the Chief Petty Officer, Aled.

-Many a true word is spoken in jest.

-Many a true word is spoken in jest.

-

-We'll see about that.

-At the bottom of the heap, Meirion,

-where you deserve to be.

-But why me?

-But why me?

-

-The local chair is hopeless.

-And his Welsh is appalling.

-Tony doesn't speak

-the language of heaven.

-Tony Drake. He's standing

-for the Conservatives.

-I know who he is, but it's Sunday,

-and my place is at home with Mam.

-We phoned you

-because it's an emergency.

-Matthew Desmond's popular because he

-objects to the Maes Derwen project.

-He says it'll threaten the language.

-He says it'll threaten the language.

-

-Which is utter nonsense.

-I want you to state that publicly

-this evening.

-Aled will bring you back to Cardiff

-after the broadcast.

-Why can't you use subtitles?

-It's a Welsh programme. It's live.

-That puts our candidate

-at a disadvantage.

-It's a chance for you to shine.

-Tom will be fair to everyone.

-With a nationalist on the panel?

-Not a chance. Where's Ed?

-Hello. How are you?

-Welcome to the sticks. Harri.

-Lovely to see you again.

-This is Ela,

-the party's chief researcher.

-How are things?

-How are things?

-

-Good. Great. I'm hopeful.

-Even though the recent opinion poll

-was a bit disappointing, wasn't it?

-A blip.

-An advantage in the long run.

-How so?

-How so?

-

-It'll shake people up.

-It'll remind them

-how dangerous Matthew Desmond is...

-..and turn the tide in our favour,

-like what happened in Scotland.

-Comparing the two situations

-is simplistic.

-With respect, I live here

-and know my constituents.

-I hope we hear the answers

-allaying their concerns...

-..during tonight's debate.

-I'm looking forward to challenging

-him in front of the nation.

-Excuse me.

-Is everything alright?

-Not bad. Would you consider

-recording the debate beforehand?

-What's wrong?

-Are you scared of what she'll say?

-Gwennan's a good candidate.

-Who's slipped from second

-to third place in the race.

-A bit inexperienced

-in front of the camera.

-But very experienced in other ways,

-given the welcome you got.

-Are you willing to consider it?

-Do you seriously think I'd do that?

-No. But it was a good excuse

-to say hello.

-Hello.

-Three days.

-I'll think of something.

-I'll think of something.

-

-That's easy to say.

-Tom! Come on,

-Alwyn is waiting to be interviewed.

-Remember to ask him about training

-opportunities for young people.

-We did an item on that last week.

-I know, but...

-I know, but...

-

-Shouldn't we focus on local matters?

-Maes Derwen is central

-to Desmond's popularity.

-Precisely. Ask him to explain

-the effect it'll have on the area.

-What are we talking about?

-What are we talking about?

-

-Ed's worrying about Alwyn.

-Are you? Such a pity!

-Hello. Matthew Desmond.

-Thanks for coming.

-Rhiannon!

-Good to see you again. When did you

-last visit the real world?

-You're the one who left it, not me.

-Really?

-Really?

-

-I believe you know Gwennan.

-Of course. How's your father, love?

-Is he still making a fortune

-out of the English?

-And this is Harri,

-our special adviser.

-Ah, Mr Smoke and Mirrors.

-Didn't they tell you? Transparency.

-That's the buzzword these days.

-An honest messenger.

-We'll see.

-A revolution.

-That's what we need in this country.

-Showman! He belongs in a circus.

-Lots of people love the circus.

-What's the New Conservatives' policy

-on the Welsh language?

-Make sure the phone's handy,

-and leave fresh water by her side.

-I can't trust them.

-Who?

-Who?

-

-The carers. I've got no choice.

-Have I got

-your complete attention now?

-Don't attack him personally.

-Go after Maes Derwen. His policy

-cupboard is bare apart from that.

-Nervous?

-Nervous?

-

-No, not at all.

-Are you going to hold her hand

-all the way to the Assembly?

-What did she say?

-What did she say?

-

-Stick to local matters.

-Things you know about.

-Things you know about.

-

-Hair up or down?

-Down. It's more natural.

-A teacher, that's all he is.

-A teacher with a bee in his bonnet.

-Right, the loo.

-Right, the loo.

-

-Go with her.

-What if I took her place?

-I don't know what she'll say next.

-God knows how she was selected.

-She was chosen.

-It's our duty to support her.

-One hundred per cent.

-The Maes Derwen development

-will be a disaster for this area...

-..unless there are strict,

-legal statutory rules in place...

-..so that houses are affordable,

-and that locals get first choice.

-Based on language?

-It's the only way

-to protect the Welsh language.

-I want to remind the audience

-that Socialist strategy...

-..published in 2012

-has already borne fruit.

-It's strengthened

-the status of the Welsh language.

-What's the Democrats' stance?

-To begin with...

-To begin with...

-

-Why ask for her opinion?!

-The Democrats didn't put forward

-a Welsh-speaking candidate.

-Tom, can I come back on that?

-You were very remiss

-in letting this man go.

-He went off in a huff.

-I heard

-it was a matter of principle.

-Go after Megan, Tom.

-What's

-the New Conservatives' stance?

-This is the same dangerous story

-we're hearing about the language.

-The alpha and the omega

-for Matthew Desmond and his type.

-Positive discrimination.

-For our English friends.

-For our English friends.

-

-At its worst.

-What's next on the agenda?

-Kristallnacht?

-Gwennan Morris, as the Nationalists'

-candidate, what's your opinion?

-I can tell you her opinion.

-I can tell you her opinion.

-

-Let Gwennan have her say.

-In general, Nationalists care about

-the environment, about minorities...

-Let her speak.

-They're more socialist

-than the Socialists.

-They care about everything except

-for Wales and the Welsh language.

-I care about

-the constituency I live in.

-As someone

-who works in the tourist industry...

-..the last thing we should do is

-scare the people who keep us going.

-I support Maes Derwen 100%...

-..with no conditions,

-no restrictions.

-The development

-will bring work to the area.

-That's the way to save the language.

-So you disagree with

-your party's language policy.

-Er, well, no...

-No, I wouldn't say that.

-Shit.

-Not what I'd hoped for,

-but there you are.

-You should've pushed more,

-made yourself heard.

-Hang on a minute.

-Lowri has to criticize

-or she'd be out of work.

-Go and get the drinks, please.

-Sparkling water, please.

-Sparkling water, please.

-

-Detox?

-No, I have to drive milady home.

-She's waiting for me in the car.

-Like a Buddha!

-Have you seen Tom?

-Have you seen Tom?

-

-Are you two OK these days?

-Why?

-Why?

-

-Hiya. What do you want?

-No, I'll get these. Pint?

-No, I'll get these. Pint?

-

-You're a star.

-Yes, yes, I get it. You're married,

-you're happy, you're straight.

-You can't go against our party

-policy without people noticing.

-No matter what people think

-of Desmond, he's consistent.

-Easy enough

-when you're a one-man band.

-That was his own decision.

-That was his own decision.

-

-Ela, would you take Gwennan home?

-Everything will look better

-in the morning.

-Rhiannon...?

-Excuse me.

-Time for a chat?

-Time for a chat?

-

-With you? No.

-Did Tom have to give Gwennan

-such a hard time?

-Any incompetent person

-deserves to be given a hard time...

-..the same as you should be giving

-the local party for selecting her.

-I believe that's called democracy.

-I believe that's called democracy.

-

-Rhiannon wouldn't have chosen her.

-That's obvious.

-That's obvious.

-

-You were listening, were you?

-That's why you had to comfort her,

-probably.

-I'd like to do an interview tomorrow

-with Rhiannon and Gwennan.

-I'll give them a chance

-to support each other.

-I was comforting her.

-That's all it was.

-Nice, isn't it? Carys's choice.

-I don't like it. It's horrible.

-I want to dress up like Jac y Jwc.

-Do you, sweetie?

-World Book Day tomorrow.

-Kids can dress up as one of

-their favourite characters.

-How about Strempan,

-the cross, fickle witch?

-Shall we go?

-Shall we go?

-

-Ta-ta, sweetie.

-Come here, big boy.

-Be good, OK?

-Why, Angharad?

-Why, Angharad?

-MOBILE RINGS

-What do you want, Ed?

-Alwyn's blog?

-Right.

-I have to go back to West Wales.

-I have to go back to West Wales.

-

-Why don't you stay there?

-Seriously, stay the night.

-We'll be fine here.

-We'll be fine here.

-

-Good idea.

-Read it again.

-My Northwalian accent's crap, but...

-My Northwalian accent's crap, but...

-

-Ela!

-"You're not a true Welshman

-if you don't speak Welsh."

-I was 23 years old at the time,

-barely out of college.

-There's more.

-There's more.

-

-Thanks, Ela. I remember it.

-Where did he find that quote?

-It was published in the Welsh

-Language Society's magazine.

-Were you never young and foolish?

-Were you never young and foolish?

-

-Yes, but my mistakes weren't public.

-And I've buried the bodies.

-Windmills Wales

-is a well-established company.

-It contributes generously

-to the local economy.

-Dirty money to some.

-Not everyone welcomes windmills.

-There's enough support to make

-a difference. Listen to Dylan.

-A brand new agricultural college.

-A partnership with Windmills Wales.

-I know. That's nothing new.

-What if we brought the announcement

-forward a fortnight?

-A contract hasn't been signed.

-Are you sure it'll happen?

-We're trailing.

-It's a chance to regain ground.

-We should inform Meirion's office.

-We should inform Meirion's office.

-

-What for?

-Courtesy, just in case...

-No. It's a great idea.

-Make the arrangements.

-Was it you who gave that information

-to Alwyn? That stuff on his blog.

-Sorry. Why would I?

-Sorry. Why would I?

-

-I don't know.

-To take the attention off me?

-There's the enemy.

-Scraping the barrel, Alwyn.

-Well done.

-All's fair, as the saying goes.

-Is there any point?

-Is there any point?

-

-In what?

-In you staying here,

-wasting your party's resources.

-I get it. I'm in the same domain

-as your wife.

-At least I was a fortnight ago.

-I meant you've got no chance

-in the by-election.

-I'm next door to the two of you.

-Just a wall between us.

-Tom?

-Rhiannon's reaction

-to Alwyn's blog is more important.

-I can't show any favouritism.

-To me?

-To me?

-

-Yes.

-Rhiannon's the story,

-but you choose.

-TEXT ALERT

-The Kristallnacht Kid. That's what

-some are calling you on Twitter.

-Is that so?

-Is that so?

-

-Extremely tasteless.

-But amazingly effective

-in attracting attention.

-And given you're in the public eye,

-for a while, at least...

-..we must take full advantage.

-As I'm sure you know,

-Andrew is running a campaign...

-..to attract

-more members to the party.

-He was ready to announce

-the fruits of his labour on Friday.

-I thought he was ill.

-I thought he was ill.

-

-Exactly.

-Shingles, apparently.

-Are the figures up?

-Are the figures up?

-

-They've remained the same.

-Shrunk, if you go to the trouble

-of examining them closely...

-..as some will certainly do.

-Do you want me

-to take over the reins?

-As always,

-you're two steps ahead of me.

-Following the reaction

-to the programme last night...

-..we could find nobody better.

-"She hath done what she could."

-I'd like that on my headstone.

-Appropriate. Wholly appropriate.

-Say it was your opinion at the time.

-Don't deny your past.

-Emphasize the positive influence we

-have on the government's policies.

-Rhiannon!

-Rhiannon!

-

-Can you wait?

-It's more important

-to keep an eye on Gwennan.

-I wonder who the Socialists

-fear most. You? Me?

-Both of us together, maybe?

-Both of us together, maybe?

-

-You'll always be living in hope.

-We're closer politically

-than I thought.

-When summers were long and hot.

-I've moved on.

-If you say so.

-You didn't deserve that blog.

-If I wasn't a respectable candidate,

-I'd punch the bastard.

-Why would you do that for my sake?

-Because you're worth saving.

-Ready?

-Ready?

-

-Go for it.

-Thanks for the advice.

-Do you still believe you must speak

-Welsh to be a true Welsh person?

-Of course I don't. The South Wales

-Valleys' support is proof of that.

-Would you say the same thing again?

-Would you say the same thing again?

-

-I was young and impulsive.

-Who's to say Alwyn Jones wasn't once

-a member of the Communist Party?

-That's not an accusation.

-The truth is whatever was said...

-The trick is not to get into trouble

-in the first place.

-If you say so.

-I don't agree at all with

-Matthew Desmond's extreme stance.

-Gwennan Morris

-is an excellent candidate.

-Whatever the result

-on Friday morning...

-..within a few months, Matthew

-Desmond's name will be forgotten.

-What's wrong? The reaction to the

-interview has been very positive.

-A few negatives on Twitter.

-A few negatives on Twitter.

-

-Alwyn's relatives.

-I won't be long.

-Room for a little one?

-I'm knackered.

-All you need

-is a good night's sleep.

-Not much else is happening here,

-apart from sleeping, I mean.

-Maybe you'll find someone.

-Chance would be a fine thing, babes.

-Although, that journalist

-on the local rag with the...

-Aneurin?

-Aneurin?

-

-Yes, him. He's a looker.

-I thought he was married.

-I thought he was married.

-

-You know what they say.

-What's the difference between a

-married man and a straight one? Tom?

-No idea.

-Six pints of lager.

-MOBILE RINGS

-Why don't you just tell her?

-And cause her even more pain?

-She's just lost a baby.

-She didn't lose anything.

-She wasn't pregnant.

-You got scared.

-I remember now.

-I remember now.

-

-Just don't pretend that you care.

-About Lowri, the baby.

-I know things like that

-aren't important to you...

-..because there's no chance of you

-ever being a father, is there?

-I know that gay couples adopt,

-but you'll never be a real father...

-..like I'll be.

-A chat, nothing more.

-Come in.

-Here you go.

-The Property Act rally.

-That's where I heard you

-speaking for the first time.

-A baptism of fire.

-Why turn your back?

-The battle isn't over.

-It is for you.

-It is for you.

-

-How do you mean?

-In bed with the Conservatives. It's

-the worst example of prostitution.

-They can be a useful bed partner.

-Better than being under the duvet

-with the Socialists?

-I haven't got the heart

-to compromise.

-It's better

-to compromise and exert influence...

-..rather than have no power at all.

-I don't accept your logic.

-Because I'm hopeful.

-Because I'm hopeful.

-

-Of what?

-I look forward to the day when you

-don't have to explain or compromise.

-When that day comes,

-I hope I'll be right by your side.

-Windmills Wales's decision

-to provide funding...

-..for a new agricultural college

-is very exciting news.

-As Agricultural Minister,

-I'm behind them in their ambition.

-As is the government of Cymru Gyfan.

-The truth?

-Everything's in place.

-More or less a done deal.

-A signature, Aled.

-Is there a signature on the paper?

-No.

-A message for Meirion Llywelyn.

-It's me, Megan.

-What am I meant to do

-about the deceased members?

-There are dozens of them. Standing

-orders haven't been cancelled.

-Technically, are they still members?

-Technically, are they still members?

-

-MOBILE RINGS

-I'm at work, Mami.

-What's wrong this time?

-No, Gwennan. It's not a good idea.

-Goodnight.

-Fancy a drink?

-Where were you?

-What would happen

-if Matthew Desmond won?

-He's more likely to slip back.

-He's an effective speaker

-and passionate.

-And I'm sure

-he'd side with us on a few things.

-You've been talking.

-Gwennan's weak. She won't

-come close to winning the seat.

-What if we

-took our foot off the accelerator...

-..subtly?

-And advise some of our long-standing

-supporters to do the same.

-Are you mad?

-Gwennan is the official candidate.

-It's our duty to do our utmost

-to get her elected!

-She's hopeless, Harri.

-Has he turned your head this easily?

-You're within a hair's breadth

-of Meirion's chair.

-You're playing footsie with Desmond.

-You're playing footsie with Desmond.

-

-I'm not within a hair's breadth.

-Not yet, but you must believe you

-are. We'll get nowhere otherwise.

-We've got two days left.

-I want you to consider it.

-Not another word to Matthew Desmond,

-do you understand?

-See you in the morning.

-See you in the morning.

-

-Careful on the road.

-A bottle of still water, please.

-Long day?

-Longer than expected.

-What would you do with her?

-Gwennan or Rhiannon?

-Gwennan or Rhiannon?

-

-Gwennan.

-Right.

-She needs something.

-A kick up the arse.

-It's World Book Day tomorrow.

-What if she went back to school?

-A kick up the arse?

-A kick up the arse?

-

-More effective, perhaps.

-Have you eaten?

-Erm, well...

-You should go home before

-it's time for you to come back.

-A large whisky.

-Bye.

-That's what he had yesterday.

-It's this one today.

-It's almost 8.45am, Carys.

-You'd better be off.

-I'm waiting for the lunchbox.

-Do it yourself.

-You're obviously

-more capable than me.

-What the hell's the matter with you?

-She was implying I'm a crap mother.

-Perhaps I am.

-She'll have the kitchen to herself

-tomorrow. I'm staying tonight.

-Out of everyone's sight.

-Out of everyone's sight.

-

-A bloody good idea.

-You're late!

-I've a very busy day ahead of me.

-Me too, as it happens, only that

-you're getting a bigger pay cheque.

-Do you mind if I sit with you?

-Good journey?

-Good journey?

-

-Yes. I don't remember much of it.

-Where are you going this morning?

-Where are you going this morning?

-

-Taking it slowly.

-A few things on the go.

-I'll keep you in the loop.

-Right.

-Right.

-

-LAUGHTER

-Children aren't allowed to vote.

-Children aren't allowed to vote.

-

-Their parents are.

-It was only a suggestion. I didn't

-expect her to take it literally.

-Neither did I.

-I see. You're allowed to speak and

-receive advice, just as you wish.

-I've got to keep my mouth shut.

-Excuse me.

-What does he want with her?

-What does he want with her?

-

-No idea.

-Ask Catrin.

-She refuses to say.

-She refuses to say.

-

-Me too.

-Catrin's difficult these days.

-It can be a hard grind...

-..especially if you have to deal

-with your personal life as well.

-Sorry?

-The baby. I was very sorry to hear.

-See you later.

-I've been looking for you

-for almost an hour.

-Like I was

-looking for you yesterday.

-Have you forgotten our conversation?

-Have you forgotten our conversation?

-

-I'd half hoped you had.

-I'm focusing

-on promoting Gwennan and the party.

-Even though

-you're my special adviser.

-I came here to serve

-the nationalist cause in Wales.

-No individual

-is more important than that.

-I don't understand.

-I don't understand.

-

-I'm sure you do.

-The announcement's been made.

-The announcement's been made.

-

-Before the contract was signed.

-Signing was a formality.

-Even so, Dylan's

-taken it upon himself to act.

-As the Agricultural Minister.

-Without the blessing of the

-government. Without my permission.

-Right.

-He's going to look a fool so soon

-after the original announcement.

-He'll look a bigger fool

-if I make the announcement.

-I thought you had

-the skin of an elephant.

-You had the chance to rein him in.

-Humiliate my husband

-in front of you?

-He humiliated me

-in front of you and Aled.

-None of this has to happen

-if you apologize to me.

-You're being really childish.

-You're a very promising politician.

-I admire you on many counts.

-But it's important

-that everyone knows their place.

-I'm not apologizing.

-I'm part of a coalition.

-I can't be seen going against

-the flow, not publicly, at least.

-It was your choice to be part of it.

-It was your choice to be part of it.

-

-Can we put that to one side?

-I'm talking about putting pressure

-on Meirion when it's appropriate.

-You can do that openly.

-You can do that openly.

-

-So that you don't dirty your hands.

-There's a day's canvassing left,

-and Harri's reluctant...

-Bargaining, compromising.

-Playing the game.

-Are there two Rhiannons?

-Look, I love Wales and the language

-every bit as much as you do.

-But politics is a game,

-and we all have to play it.

-A lot to consider.

-But why?

-Why tell him, of all people?

-He's not even a friend.

-We work together, don't we?

-I work with many people, but I don't

-share my private life with them.

-Were you pissed?

-Were you pissed?

-

-No!

-How did it happen?

-And when did you tell him?

-Does it matter?

-Does it matter?

-

-Yes.

-Before you knew

-I wasn't pregnant or after?

-I don't remember.

-I don't remember.

-

-Where were you?

-In the pub. I remember now.

-It was after I found out.

-So you were pissed.

-Maybe I was. Pissed and upset!

-I was grieving, OK?

-Just like you.

-I thought I was

-going to be a father.

-I needed to talk to someone.

-Aled just happened to be there.

-Sorry.

-Are you avoiding me? What happened

-between Harri and Rhiannon?

-Who's asking? You or Alwyn?

-Maybe Rhiannon and Matthew Desmond

-have been talking.

-Are you going to find out?

-That's my job.

-What happens if we refuse?

-What happens if we refuse?

-

-He'll make the announcement himself.

-He'll be critical. It's better

-that we rule the narrative.

-Why is he bothering? Have I rubbed

-him up the wrong way unwittingly?

-On purpose, I'd say.

-What? The other morning?

-I was teasing him.

-It was bit more than that.

-So that's what's behind this?

-Merion's in a huff.

-Maybe he's got a point.

-Maybe the announcement was a mistake

-before the agreement was signed.

-I tried to tell you that.

-It was done because

-the local campaign was ineffective.

-Empty words, that's all this is.

-Let the toerag stew.

-I've done

-everything that was asked of me.

-And more. Free membership

-for the first two years.

-For two years?

-What were you thinking?

-The membership fee is a pittance.

-The membership fee is a pittance.

-

-A pittance or not!

-That money is for

-the upkeep of the central office.

-Offering anything for nothing

-is anathema to us as a party.

-It suggests we're only a charity.

-What came over you?

-I told you what to put on the

-website, and you ignored every word.

-Membership is bound to increase now.

-What if we published

-the quarterly figures?

-And publish our annual losses

-at the same time?

-Get out of my sight.

-Go! Get out of my sight!

-Have you got a minute?

-Have you got a minute?

-

-It depends what you want.

-Would you

-like to have dinner tonight?

-OK.

-Who are you?

-From agency.

-Are you experienced?

-Are you experienced?

-THEY SPEAK NATIVE LANGUAGE

-Speak English so we can understand.

-Speak English so we can understand.

-

-CONTINUE SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE

-Don't use that tone with me.

-Don't you know who I am?

-Just doing the job.

-You're lucky you've got a job.

-Very lucky we're so tolerant.

-I'd advise you

-to learn the language properly.

-Our welcome is not bottomless!

-Our welcome is not bottomless!

-

-That's it.

-Piss off! Get out of my life!

-We both know

-that's not what you want.

-I'm still in touch

-with a few in Baltimore, New York.

-Friends?

-Friends?

-

-Men.

-Listen...

-Can I say something? You look...

-I intend to run a story

-about Rhiannon and Matthew Desmond.

-He's alleging...

-..that Rhiannon isn't supporting

-Gwennan in the by-election.

-He's also alleging Rhiannon offered

-him a deal if he gets elected.

-Have you talked to Rhiannon?

-Have you talked to Rhiannon?

-

-I'm talking to you.

-So that's why we're here.

-What else did you think it was?

-I don't know.

-Any comment?

-Yes, I've got a comment.

-Allegations, that's all you've got.

-Rhiannon went to his house.

-He's ready to say that on camera.

-Harri...

-Honestly, I thought that

-doing it like this would be easier.

-Are you always honest?

-With you?

-Yes.

-In work. With me too, I hope.

-I try to be honest, I give

-my opinion and I get into trouble.

-With who?

-Never mind.

-Were you late last night?

-Too late. Too much to drink. Sorry.

-Don't be.

-How about trying?

-Are you sure?

-I know you are.

-Now?

-Tonight.

-Learn the language properly!

-Our welcome is not bottomless!

-Our welcome is not bottomless!

-

-Worth seeing again, wasn't it?

-Aled will be back at lunchtime.

-Do exactly what he tells you to do.

-I'm more aware than anyone...

-..that caring for an aged parent

-can be a strain.

-Don't worry.

-You won't be

-the only one under the cosh today.

-If you do the interview,

-you'll damage Rhiannon...

-..and you'll damage a cause

-that's important to you.

-Why should I believe you?

-Why should I believe you?

-

-Mr Smoke and Mirrors.

-Worse than any politician.

-That's what I've heard.

-Do it for her. She's

-not the person you think she is.

-After the by-election,

-if you're interested...

-..I'm sure you'd be welcomed

-back into the Nationalist flock.

-If that should happen, I'd make sure

-your voice would be heard clearly.

-Why?

-Why?

-

-This place is small.

-You deserve a bigger stage.

-A receipt, please.

-Going back?

-Megan.

-She's in

-more of a mess than you are.

-I'm fine. You did me a favour when

-you spoke to Lowri about the baby.

-Not intentionally.

-That's a lie, but it doesn't matter

-because we've decided to try again.

-So, thanks.

-Well, best of luck.

-Thanks.

-At some time in the future,

-somebody's going to get hurt.

-Nobody more than that child.

-A word?

-Rhiannon has the right to respond

-to whatever Desmond is going to say.

-Of course.

-Of course.

-

-I don't want to be misled again.

-Don't you answer your messages?

-What are you doing here?

-Claiming my pound of flesh.

-Or correcting Dylan's announcement.

-It's your choice.

-Shall we go and sit down?

-I don't want

-to be seen with you in public.

-It was a shock, no doubt about that.

-But it was disappointing too.

-Disappointing that a party

-that was once so principled...

-..is now playing

-the same game as Westminster.

-Whatever their motive...

-What will be the spin?

-How can a party leader...?

-Honesty.

-Honesty will be the spin.

-I'm not racist.

-Pressure of work,

-that's what it was.

-Patrycja and Angelika

-are both excellent carers.

-I really appreciate

-all they do for my mother.

-Sackcloth and ashes.

-That's what Dylan can avoid.

-How would you like me to do it?

-Publicly or

-on my knees in front of you?

-I'm very keen

-to treat each other as equals.

-But that's not possible

-if there's no respect.

-I'm sorry.

-If I offended you in any way,

-I apologize unconditionally.

-Thank you. Tell Dylan

-that he doesn't have to appear.

-He can hide behind

-the government website.

-He can even use

-"a spokesperson said..."

-You never believed he'd

-come out of it unscathed, did you?

-Dylan.

-Matthew Desmond's allegations

-are completely slanderous.

-I will say it again, Gwennan Morris

-is the Nationalists' candidate...

-..and she will be

-the winner on Friday morning.

-What about the story

-regarding Megan Ashford?

-What do you make of her remarks?

-Don't put your foot in it.

-Every one of us is under pressure

-at one time or another.

-Each one of us

-is guilty of making mistakes.

-Megan has been brave enough

-to acknowledge this.

-She'll come through it.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-

-Come in. Just that.

-Nice.

-I hate hotels.

-I'm sorry

-for the way I behaved today.

-And last night.

-And last night.

-

-You had good reason last night.

-The best dinner I've had

-in a long time, up to a point.

-Sorry I spoilt it.

-What now?

-I've always tried to imagine

-what that would be like.

-Is he OK?

-Is he OK?

-

-He will be.

-Not many people will notice it

-on the website.

-At least it's over.

-At least it's over.

-

-For you, perhaps.

-I don't understand.

-When you have to prostitute

-yourself, I'm sure you will.

-A word of warning. I expect you to

-advise me, Lowri. That's your job.

-But I expect respect as well.

-On the eve of the by-election

-in Ceredigion...

-..the opinion polls indicate the

-Socialists will retain their seat...

-..with the Nationalists

-a close second.

-There is also a suggestion

-that Matthew Desmond...

-..has lost quite a lot of support

-during the last day of the campaign.

-Are you alright?

-No!

-Sorry.

-No. No.

-It's me.

-My head's just...

-..not in the right place.

-Six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

-..eleven, twelve...

-..thirteen, fourteen.

-Where is it?

-Again.

-Again.

-

-OK. Ready?

-One, two, three, four.

-Are you counting? Five, six...

-..seven, eight, nine, ten.

-Are you sure

-you're suited to politics?

-Go to hell. Do your worst!

-Shit.

-What's happening?!

-What are you doing?

-What are you doing?

-

-Writing a resignation statement.

-What's happening to you?

-What's happening to you?

-

-You're better off without me.
