-Gruffydd Bowen?

-He sounds like a handful.

-The one o'clock news, definitely.

-I'll set it up on the way in.

-Who's put a smile on your face?

-Who's put a smile on your face?

-

-Tom.

-If you say so.

-If you say so.

-

-I'll see you later.

-Love you.

-Love you too. Don't ever forget it.

-Why would I?

-I'm going to order a taxi for 7pm.

-Tonight's reception

-to welcome the Israelis.

-I'm driving.

-I'm driving.

-

-There's no need.

-I want to.

-I want to come home

-as soon as I can.

-Did you hear

-what Gruffydd Bowen had to say?

-Shame he's a Tory,

-but it's a chance for you.

-To what?

-To what?

-

-Wind up your father-in-law.

-Does Rhiannon

-intend going to the reception?

-Of course she is. She can't wait.

-It was a party dinner. Private.

-It was a party dinner. Private.

-

-It's all over Twitter and Facebook.

-He's a councillor from the sticks.

-He's a councillor from the sticks.

-

-He's worth an interview.

-Because he represents a ward

-in Meirion's constituency?

-And critical of his track record.

-And critical of his track record.

-

-Especially in economic development.

-The Israeli Ambassador's visit.

-That's today's story.

-Tonight's story.

-Until then, it's Gruffydd Bowen.

-Are you going to wear that?

-Um, yes.

-Um, yes.

-

-I'm not sure of the colour.

-Me neither, but listen...

-Me neither, but listen...

-

-Half a dozen emails have arrived.

-A Caernarfon woman phoned.

-She used to live in Gaza.

-Should I tell her

-that you've parked your principles?

-Nice. I must remember

-to wear my best suit.

-Not everyone agrees

-that any of this is nice.

-Emotional arguments on both sides.

-Emotional arguments on both sides.

-

-What do I say to party members...

-..who oppose

-Israel's treatment of Palestinians?

-Nothing. Ignore them.

-Have we got three minutes there?

-Have we got three minutes there?

-

-I could listen to him all night.

-Angharad Wynne.

-How do you do? Naomi Lawson.

-I work at the Israeli Embassy.

-I'm here with the trade delegation.

-I'll catch you up. Yes?

-I hope your reports

-will be balanced.

-We're always impartial.

-Great. I'm meeting representatives

-from the three parties.

-Lowri Ogwen Jones,

-Aled Meredith, Harri James.

-The very man. Naomi Lawson

-is here especially to meet you.

-Excuse me.

-Excuse me.

-

-How did the interview go?

-Watch it on the one o'clock news,

-if you're not too busy.

-Harri, I'd like to congratulate you.

-Our research suggested

-Rhiannon wouldn't be present.

-You must be very efficient.

-Correct.

-Shall we join the others?

-Shall we join the others?

-

-Are you aware of the interest...

-..you've generated on social media?

-..you've generated on social media?

-

-Yes. I've received many messages.

-But there's

-nothing special about me.

-You're not afraid to criticize the

-New Conservatives on your doorstep.

-I'm just raising

-a few commonly-held views...

-..for the good of the party.

-..for the good of the party.

-

-Where is this going?

-It's blindingly obvious.

-The First Minister must inspire you.

-The First Minister must inspire you.

-

-Yes. He's a giant of a politician.

-Do you share the same political

-ambition for the national stage?

-It'd be an honour to represent the

-New Conservatives in the Assembly.

-Tom's not behind that question.

-That would be a matter for others,

-certainly not a matter for me.

-On the steps

-in front of the Senedd. Great.

-Will there be a big group of us?

-Fantastic.

-Do you mind?

-I'm catching up

-with the protest plans.

-Great. I'll see you later.

-You're welcome to join us.

-You're welcome to join us.

-

-As if I were still a student?

-I was a student

-when I got to know you first.

-I had a picture of you on my wall.

-You're being very unreasonable.

-I joined the party because of you.

-I hope it won't be too difficult

-for you to walk past me tonight.

-You have to try the frogs' legs.

-You have to try the frogs' legs.

-

-I will.

-I've got a surprise for you.

-I don't like surprises.

-I don't like surprises.

-

-Paris. We leave lunchtime on Friday.

-This baby isn't going to happen

-to order, you know...

-..especially if I'm under pressure.

-No pressure.

-It'll all be good news, I promise.

-And remember to thank Ed

-for all his help.

-Why the fuck did you say that?

-Because, unlike you,

-I like to please Lowri.

-I'm sorry to disappoint you.

-You're not serious?

-I'm going to look a right idiot.

-Not in my eyes.

-And I hope you understand.

-That you've allowed a researcher's

-opinion to influence you?

-An opinion

-held by many of our members.

-This will be a shambles.

-No, it won't,

-because you'll put your spin on it.

-ANGRY SHOUTS

-First Minister, do you intend to

-stand down in the 2020 election...

-..following

-Gruffydd Bowen's comments?

-Do the New Conservatives

-intend to put you out to pasture?

-Alone? The ambassador

-will be disappointed.

-Rhiannon's ill.

-A bug, unfortunately.

-Convenient. If you're looking

-for company later on, let me know.

-How long do we have to stay here?

-We haven't met the ambassador yet.

-Rhiannon's absence gives us

-a chance to make an impression.

-You can also meet

-the businessmen in the delegation.

-What business?

-Israel is a war-torn country.

-Israel is a war-torn country.

-

-Who can blame them?

-Do some of these

-have military connections?

-I don't know,

-but one of them is relevant to us.

-He provides computer equipment

-for schools.

-I've arranged a meeting for Friday.

-I've arranged a meeting for Friday.

-

-Impossible. Cancel everything.

-Why? Where will you be?

-The ambassador would like a word.

-The ambassador would like a word.

-

-By all means.

-How is he? Seriously?

-Gruffydd Bowen's attack

-was unforgivable.

-Gosh, Meirion's had bigger fish

-than him for breakfast.

-And he's fine. I make sure of that.

-The proposal

-is extremely tempting...

-..but as I've indicated to your

-people on more than one occasion...

-..almost impossible

-to implement politically.

-Coalitions

-are a fact of life in Israel.

-But we get there in the end.

-Is it...?

-Rhiannon Roberts.

-A bit of a firebrand, I understand,

-and absent tonight.

-Illness, Mr Ambassador.

-Illness, Mr Ambassador.

-

-I can assure you I'm in control.

-And this Bowen fellow?

-What about him?

-A little local difficulty,

-nothing more.

-A development like this

-could dampen rebellious thoughts.

-It could solve quite a few problems.

-It could solve quite a few problems.

-

-And create more.

-I'm sorry, Mr Ambassador...

-..but my final answer has to be no.

-PROTEST ON TELEVISION

-Do you intend to stand down

-following Gruffydd Bowen's comments?

-Hold on.

-Speculation persists

-about the First Minister's future.

-Why do you do this?

-I haven't left the house.

-And Tom did this

-entirely off his own back?

-It's...

-It's...

-

-Yes, yes, fucking news.

-Sorry, but that's my job.

-I can't help it

-that your father is First Minister.

-If you think that's the problem,

-then you're wrong.

-There may be three in this marriage,

-but Dad isn't the gooseberry.

-Whatever anyone says,

-you've done a good day's work.

-Today wasn't my finest hour.

-Nobody'd blame you if you decided to

-take your foot off the accelerator.

-Is that what you think?

-Goodnight.

-Eat your toast.

-Eat your toast.

-

-I don't want it.

-Don't force him. He's had enough.

-What are you doing

-between one and two?

-Come to the Bay. I'll buy you lunch.

-I've told you, Lowri,

-I won't do anything on Friday.

-I don't care if the Pope himself

-wants to see me, I'm not available.

-Go on Saturday.

-Go on Saturday.

-

-Friday's the day.

-Who'll know?

-Who'll know?

-

-Me.

-They showed that Gruffydd Bowen

-again last night.

-There's no doubt he's a star.

-Like Hague

-addressing the conference in '77.

-Perhaps you'd like to see him

-in this chair?

-Anyone would think you're head

-over heels in love with the man.

-Three of your constituency branches

-have been in touch.

-They're challenging the system

-of choosing candidates...

-..for the 2020 election.

-What system? I've always

-been selected without question.

-They want to see

-more than one name in the hat.

-And votes for individual members

-as well as the branches.

-Cowards and fools,

-every one of them.

-Did we do the right thing

-by turning them down last night?

-Building a military training camp

-for Mossad's secret agents...

-..in darkest Plynlimon?

-That the easiest thing

-in the world to sell.

-Work, employment...

-..praise.

-Give the Israelis a ring.

-Oh, yes, and Angharad Wynne as well.

-Did he speak with you?

-He walked past me like thunder.

-I'm so proud of you.

-Have you seen the papers?

-"Nationalist leader rebels."

-"Snubs Israeli delegation."

-Do you know what word I hate? Rebel.

-It pushes us right back.

-Some claim it pushes us forward.

-Some claim it pushes us forward.

-

-Did I ask your opinion?

-Get well soon.

-Get well soon.

-

-Ha, ha.

-Would you like to explain

-why you weren't there?

-No, she wouldn't. Anything else?

-No, she wouldn't. Anything else?

-

-You know where to find me.

-Damage limitation.

-I want you to meet Naomi Lawson.

-No.

-No.

-

-She's a nice woman. Reasonable.

-I've nothing to say to her.

-Nothing she'd want to hear, anyway.

-Let me make one thing

-absolutely clear to everybody.

-I have no intention of standing down

-at the 2020 election.

-We won't get this country

-back on its feet overnight...

-..especially after years

-of Socialist mismanagement.

-Does this shit have to go out?

-Allegations have been made.

-He has a right to react.

-Take note,

-it's an All-Wales Government.

-Every corner is important to

-the coalition and to me personally.

-I very much hope these words...

-..will put an end

-to the recent media fantasies.

-Onwards, friends.

-Onwards.

-Has everyone signed?

-The Official Secrets Act is in force

-because of the agenda's contents.

-We've had an offer from

-the Israeli Ambassador's Office.

-As part of

-the proposed trade agreement...

-..and with our blessing, they want

-to build a rehabilitation centre...

-..here in Wales.

-..here in Wales.

-

-To rehabilitate what?

-Soldiers who have unfortunately

-been injured on the battlefield.

-Israeli soldiers on Welsh soil?

-Victims.

-Victims.

-

-Good luck selling that.

-What about Palestinian victims?

-Will there be a centre for them?

-This would be

-a humanitarian project.

-It would benefit the building sector

-and support services.

-Not in my constituency, I hope.

-Not in my constituency, I hope.

-

-In a remote area.

-Plynlimon is under consideration.

-An ideal place...

-An ideal place...

-

-In your constituency?

-A coincidence.

-Whatever our personal opinion on

-the situation in the Middle East...

-..a humanitarian project

-merits consideration.

-Our opinions on a principled matter

-are crucial...

-..especially when young men

-are sent to their deaths.

-Rehabilitation is the objective.

-Rehabilitation is the objective.

-

-Many are beyond rehabilitation.

-Why come so far?

-It's the individual's choice.

-It's the individual's choice.

-

-They have conscription in Israel.

-As some of us know, there are

-different forms of obligation.

-Excuse me.

-Calm down, will you?

-Leave this to me.

-Leave this to me.

-

-Yes, brush it under the carpet.

-She's overdone it recently.

-She'll be fine.

-Don't ask me.

-As usual, I'm the last to know.

-If the truth comes out.

-It will.

-There's no doubt about that.

-It'll be too late.

-The good citizens

-of Ystwyth and Dyfi...

-..will be too busy working

-and counting their cash.

-Dirty money acquired

-through mendacity and deception.

-Your constituents will be happy,

-but what about everyone else?

-Rhiannon and Catrin?

-Rhiannon and Catrin?

-

-Gagged for once, both of them.

-You're playing with fire.

-Indeed we are.

-And it's what will keep us both

-on top of the dungheap...

-..for years to come.

-Red or white?

-Red or white?

-

-I'll stick to water, thanks.

-No, thanks.

-Where were you this morning?

-Newport. An industrial park.

-Dismal but necessary.

-I hope you had

-a more exciting morning.

-I did, as it happens.

-A cabinet meeting

-where Meirion outlined the project.

-Interesting, but hard work for me.

-As you can imagine,

-Rhiannon was totally against it.

-It's controversial

-but not without precedent.

-That type of elite training

-here in Wales.

-The SAS in the Brecon Beacons?

-That's where the idea came from.

-Hello, how are you?

-Hello, how are you?

-

-Hiya.

-I had no idea he was here.

-I had no idea he was here.

-

-If you say so.

-Do you want to go somewhere else?

-Harri is clearly a problem for you.

-You're right.

-He is a problem.

-You and him, to be more precise.

-Right.

-And what do you think's going on?

-I don't know,

-but I know there's something.

-Until you tell me what it is,

-things will never be right.

-You only heard the outline

-this morning.

-As more details emerge...

-..I'm convinced

-you'll appreciate the advantages.

-For your constituency.

-For your constituency.

-

-Which borders your constituency.

-Advantages for all in the long run.

-Let's get down to detail.

-What can I offer you?

-You didn't agree to see me

-for nothing.

-So what's it to be?

-Wind turbines on Snowdon?

-Human rights for pet animals?

-The price of everything,

-the value of nothing.

-I came here

-in the hope you'd reconsidered.

-Nothing of the sort.

-I'd hate to have to do it myself,

-but I will if needs be.

-Without the support of Rhiannon and

-myself? On such a critical project?

-I never imagined that even you...

-..would sink so low.

-What happened?

-He remembered he had to be

-somewhere else. What about you?

-Your boss wouldn't be happy.

-Your boss wouldn't be happy.

-

-She sent me.

-Why? Will the Israeli government

-help Rhiannon become First Minister?

-Who knows?

-Stranger things have happened.

-You lucky swine.

-I haven't been off since 2010.

-A weekend in Poole -

-arsehole of the known universe.

-You're sure

-you don't want me to work on Friday?

-Meirion has made a very confident

-statement under the circumstances.

-Harri made a cryptic comment

-about the Israelis.

-Sorry, boys,

-but there's something there.

-Catrin was upset.

-Does that fit your jigsaw?

-Upset about what?

-Upset about what?

-

-I don't know. She was in tears.

-With Dylan and Lowri on her tail.

-With Dylan and Lowri on her tail.

-

-And now you tell me?

-I heard you had

-a challenging cabinet meeting.

-Who said that?

-Is it true?

-Would you like a cuppa?

-What was his name?

-Morgan.

-He came home

-to celebrate his 21st birthday.

-And that was

-the last time I saw him.

-When was that?

-It'll be ten years on Friday.

-He was on his second six-month tour

-in Helmand.

-What happened?

-Nothing special.

-It was a very common death

-at the time.

-An IED on the roadside.

-There wasn't much of him left.

-I'm truly sorry.

-What would you like me to do?

-With what?

-With the story.

-Oh, no,

-I don't want you to do anything.

-Then why tell me?

-You asked what was wrong,

-and I told you.

-This is between you and me.

-Yes, but...

-Yes, but...

-

-I want you to know what's going on.

-To understand

-that there's always something...

-..that reminds me.

-Like today, for instance.

-In the cabinet?

-What were you discussing?

-What were you discussing?

-

-I've said as much as I can.

-If I were to say the word military,

-would I be on the right path?

-When was the last time

-you doubted yourself?

-.

-Are you feeling better today?

-Talking helps.

-OK.

-We'll talk.

-With Angharad yesterday.

-About what?

-About what?

-

-Morgan.

-How did she know about Morgan?

-How did she know about Morgan?

-

-I told her.

-What for?

-Well, for one thing,

-it did me good.

-Will you feel the same

-when she does an expose?

-She won't. It was an opportunity

-to make her aware of certain things.

-About the Israelis? Are you mad?

-It was all between the lines.

-Using him for political advantage?

-Using him for political advantage?

-

-If the result is to stop Meirion...

-..if it means saving one young life,

-it'll be worth it.

-Don't mention it to anyone else.

-Don't mention it to anyone else.

-

-Poor Lowri's in the dark.

-I said no-one else.

-Ready, Jac?

-Ready, Jac?

-

-I'll take him.

-Where?

-Where?

-

-To school.

-This is what I want as well,

-you know.

-All this, just like you.

-What time will you be home?

-As soon as I can.

-As soon as I can.

-

-How about a barbie?

-Great.

-The Jewish community in Cardiff

-is amongst the oldest in Britain.

-It's apt that this trade treaty

-has been signed here.

-The culmination

-of three days' useful discussions...

-..for both sides, hopefully.

-And to you personally?

-And to you personally?

-

-Irrelevant. Any other questions?

-What's the nature of the agreement?

-What sort of business?

-It's an agreement in principle.

-The exact nature of the agreement

-is something for the future.

-Who do you think will benefit?

-Who do you think will benefit?

-

-Every community in Wales.

-Our aim is to create prosperity.

-Will there be a military aspect

-to some of the agreements?

-Well? How about you, Mr Ambassador?

-Does your visit

-have a military purpose?

-What do you know?

-What do you know?

-

-I know nothing.

-You were asking a lot of questions.

-Angharad was feeding me.

-The story of my life -

-doing what others want me to do.

-Is that how you feel?

-Is that how you feel?

-

-A lot of the time, yes.

-A coincidence.

-She's clutching at straws.

-And the absence

-of your coalition partners?

-Prior engagements. This is

-a work in progress, Mr Ambassador.

-Rome wasn't built in a day.

-Rome fell.

-Rome fell.

-

-All very difficult.

-But not impossible!

-Will you have some tea?

-Will you have some tea?

-

-Thank you, no.

-And for now, we'll give you

-the benefit of the doubt.

-One lie after another.

-You're making my job impossible.

-You're making my job impossible.

-

-That is your job.

-You know as well as I do

-how determined Angharad is.

-How does she know?

-How?

-Meirion's pretty desperate.

-He asked what you wanted.

-I've got an idea.

-I've said no.

-I've said no.

-

-A new charity has been set up...

-..by a woman from Powys,

-Sue Phillips.

-Her husband served

-with the Welsh Guards in Iraq.

-The aim is to help soldiers

-from Wales suffering from PTSD.

-They're looking

-for support and money.

-I'm not sure.

-I'm not sure.

-

-To establish a special PTSD unit.

-Why can't

-the All-Wales Government contribute?

-Why can't you push the agenda?

-Maybe it's an opportunity.

-But maybe now's not the right time

-for you to make decisions.

-Because I'm emotional?

-I don't get it.

-You made positive noises yesterday.

-You made positive noises yesterday.

-

-We were discussing Israeli soldiers.

-This would be a lot closer to home.

-I can't work like this

-without knowing what's going on.

-I know, and if it were up to me...

-OK.

-OK.

-I'll tell her.

-If you can't rein her in,

-then I will.

-I don't have a problem

-reining her in if she's wrong.

-Insinuation, baseless theories

-and a dose of personal hatred.

-That's what's driving her.

-She has no proof.

-Not yet.

-Not yet.

-

-Are you happy in your job?

-Have you considered retiring?

-Have you considered retiring?

-

-We're all approaching our sell-by.

-The truth is, Angharad's attitude

-is putting jobs at risk.

-Your job?

-Your job?

-

-Listen, you little upstart.

-I could make plenty of trouble

-for her and your two-bit unit.

-One phone call. That's all it takes.

-But it won't come to that, I'm sure.

-Throwing you out of the lobby,

-banning you from briefings.

-Stopping me from doing my job.

-He has discussed it

-with the powers that be.

-I'll defend you to the hilt

-if you have proof.

-And in the meantime?

-And in the meantime?

-

-Keep out of trouble.

-Merched y Wawr

-are meeting in midweek.

-A nice outing for you.

-I don't get it.

-Meirion promised Catrin the earth,

-and now he's not interested?

-That's my feeling.

-That's my feeling.

-

-Make the offer.

-Fine.

-What aren't you telling me?

-What aren't you telling me?

-

-Nothing.

-Always nothing.

-Have you taken a leaf

-out of Tom's book?

-You need a new SPAD.

-Yes?

-Are you busy tonight?

-Are you busy tonight?

-

-I don't know yet.

-Make your last night here

-a night to remember.

-Come to the hotel.

-I'll meet you in the bar at eight.

-Morally, I can't support you.

-Good old Aled, blabbing.

-He did the right thing.

-He did the right thing.

-

-Because he trusted you, as I do.

-We're a unit, the three of us.

-Why didn't you say

-you intended to mislead the cabinet?

-Mislead is a strong word.

-Mislead is a strong word.

-

-But true.

-It's too late to turn back.

-It's too late to turn back.

-

-Too late for me now that I know.

-We all have to persevere

-and look to the future.

-When the 2020 elections come...

-..I very much hope

-that you'll both be at my side.

-It depends which portfolio

-I'll have in my hand.

-You can choose.

-What about Angharad Wynne?

-Gagged by now.

-Catrin is making the right noises.

-And I'm confident that Rhiannon

-will come round eventually.

-Living in hope.

-Yes? Put him through.

-Mr Ambassador. Yes, fine.

-Everything's going

-according to plan.

-Same again?

-Or we could go somewhere else?

-I'm fine for the moment.

-I'm fine for the moment.

-

-You suggested a night to remember.

-There's something you should know.

-Meirion.

-He's misleading you...

-..and the cabinet.

-The training camp,

-military or whatever it is.

-He's selling it

-as a rehabilitation centre.

-That's a lie.

-That's a lie.

-

-I know.

-How do you know?

-How do you know?

-

-You told me, in the restaurant.

-I thought we were

-discussing the same thing.

-That's why

-I thought you should know.

-Wait.

-Thank you

-for your time and your help...

-..but it seems that Meirion

-isn't the only one misleading.

-Hello, everyone. I'm sorry I'm late.

-My idea.

-Good day?

-No talking shop.

-Not bad. You?

-Not bad. You?

-

-Splendid.

-MOBILE RINGS

-MOBILE RINGS

-Excuse me. Aled?

-Pulled out? Completely?

-How the hell did that happen?

-Fine.

-Fine.

-We have to leave.

-Bad news?

-Bad news?

-

-The Israelis and the trade treaty?

-Or something else? A military

-development in your constituency?

-Damn you!

-She gave me

-a hard enough time yesterday.

-The Act protects all the contacts,

-all the communications.

-Officially,

-none of this has happened.

-A good thing, perhaps?

-Stepping back in time?

-It's a pity,

-but you may be right.

-Arrange a meeting of the leaders.

-Elinor.

-Has she sent her lapdog

-to sniff about...

-..and see

-which way the wind's blowing?

-Do you really think I would?

-Do you really think I would?

-

-You married her, against my advice.

-And every day I'm thankful I did.

-And every day I'm thankful I did.

-

-Are you sure, Owain?

-Are you sure you really know her?

-Don't listen to him.

-So there's nothing dubious going on?

-Yes, there is. In her head.

-Did you find your passport?

-Not yet.

-Get a move on.

-We're leaving straight from work.

-What did he say?

-What did he say?

-

-Some doubt about land quality.

-More lies.

-But no proof as yet.

-The proof is out there somewhere.

-The challenge is getting hold of it.

-Nobody gets to the top

-without taking risks.

-Make sure that whatever you find

-ends up in the right hands.

-Faith, Ela.

-And jam for everyone, in the end.

-Congratulations.

-The Israelis have pulled out

-of something, and Meirion's furious.

-What did you do?

-I can't say.

-But was your finger in the pie?

-But was your finger in the pie?

-

-The whole hand, right in the middle.

-That's no use if there's no proof.

-I'm working on that.

-Great.

-Proof is one thing,

-but a man would be ready to use it.

-How much of a blow

-would it be for Meirion?

-Fatal.

-Is it a long journey?

-A couple of hours.

-Out in the countryside, by a river.

-His grave?

-His grave?

-

-Ashes, scattered on the water.

-Right.

-When do you leave?

-Mid-afternoon.

-You might as well go home, Dylan.

-You might as well go home, Dylan.

-

-I'm going to Mid Wales with Catrin.

-Are you sure?

-Oh, I was going to buy you lunch.

-I'm in no rush.

-I'm in no rush.

-

-I think you are.

-I take it this is what you want?

-Will it be enough?

-Will it be enough?

-

-It'll bury the unprincipled bastard.

-It won't come back to me.

-Never.

-Never.

-

-Are you sure about doing this?

-Perfectly.

-Two options.

-A dignified voluntary resignation.

-Personal reasons,

-that type of thing.

-Or shameful obligatory resignation.

-It's up to you.

-Give me an hour.

-I want to talk to Elinor,

-before anyone else does.

-She deserves that much.

-Of course.

-We'll come to the house.

-It's easier for everyone.

-Thank you.

-Tom? Cancel Paris.

-Sorry. Find a cameraman,

-and put him on standby.

-I want everyone to be ready.

-I want everyone to be ready.

-

-For what?

-The biggest story for quite a while.

-The biggest story for quite a while.

-

-About Meirion?

-Do you want to lose your job?

-Do you want to lose your job?

-

-It won't be me losing my job.

-This is one chapter.

-And your duty is to support

-whoever replaces me.

-Keeping the cause going.

-That's what's important.

-Keeping the flame alive.

-Would you like me to be there

-for the statement?

-What for?

-At least you've got a job.

-How much can you say about Meirion?

-The usual.

-A bit of treachery.

-People operating with disregard

-to others' feelings...

-..believing they'll never be

-held to account.

-I was only asking.

-I was only asking.

-

-Do you know what?

-In the end,

-the truth always comes out.

-And do you know

-who usually gets hurt?

-Innocent fools like me.

-That's a lesson for us all.

-And if he'd refused?

-I'd run the story

-and he'd have to resign.

-Then you've succeeded.

-When I tell you what he's done...

-I'm not interested.

-I'm not interested.

-

-Deceit, treachery, lies...

-Are you talking about yourself?

-Or the state of our marriage?

-Or the state of our marriage?

-

-There's nothing wrong with it.

-Why can't you be honest with me?

-Please, Angharad.

-I can't stand this.

-Whatever it is,

-whatever you've done...

-..tell me.

-When I was a student in London...

-..it was hard.

-To live, support myself,

-try to help Mam and Dad.

-I'm not proud of what I did...

-..and if I could

-turn back the clock...

-..but at the time I had no choice.

-I was a prostitute.

-And that's it.

-Now you know.

-And...

-..Harri knows?

-Is that what's going on?

-Harri was there.

-In London.

-Harri's...

-Hiya.

-I can't come to Paris.

-I can't come to Paris.

-

-Why?

-Work.

-Look, we have to talk.

-I've got something to say.

-I've got something to say.

-

-Me too.

-I'm pregnant, and before you ask...

-..I'm completely sure.

-Shit.

-That's fantastic.

-I'll get out of your way

-for a day or two.

-Then we can talk about what to do.

-I've decided what we're going to do,

-what's going to happen.

-Stop that.

-I don't want you to go anywhere.

-We'll work things out, Ow.

-We'll work things out, Ow.

-

-Well, we'll try.

-But there are conditions.

-I'll stand next to Meirion

-during his statement.

-My choice.

-That's exactly what I'm going to do.

-Stand by my husband.

-That's hard to believe, somehow.

-Where are the others?

-No-one else is coming.

-You won't need a statement.

-Why?

-What would be the point,

-when nothing has happened?

-There was no lie in the end.

-Is that what you believe?

-That's what I'm going to believe.

-Not there yet, Harri?

-What do you think I'm hoping to see?

-Something important

-that's going to change the world?

-It's not going to happen, is it?

-TEXT ALERT

-"Hotel"

-How did he get out of it?

-Me.

-Blood thicker than water?

-Something like that.

-You don't have to shoot the bullet.

-Give me the email.

-Owain's got it.

-He knows.

-What?

-Everything.

-Everything?

-Why?

-I wanted to save my marriage.

-I wanted to save my marriage.

-

-Did it work?

-It will, on condition

-that I don't destroy Meirion.

-That's the price I have to pay.

-No, it's the price we have to pay.

-No, it's the price we have to pay.

-

-I never promised you anything.

-Right.

-How do you know you can trust him?

-How do you know Owain won't talk?

-I trust him implicitly.

-Do you?

-Do you really?

-All characters, parties

-and events are fictitious.
