Pennod 3 Lleifior

-Next on S4C:

-LLEIFIOR

-How's she getting on, Mal?

-How's she getting on, Mal?

-

-Still no sign of its head.

-"The Registrar at the Clinic wanted

-

-to know everything about Emil..."

-"..the accident, his condition."

-"He said he'd 'phone me

-after speaking to Dr Rosenthal."

-"He rang a few minutes ago."

-"Mam, it will cost forty thousand."

-"How on earth will you afford it?"

-I hope the head isn't jammed.

-We'll need the bloody vet if it has.

-We'll need the bloody vet if it has.

-

-I hope it won't come to that.

-I can't stand Caesarians.

-D'you want help?

-D'you want help?

-

-Hold her tail.

-Before the collection, may I extend a

- warm welcome to Rev. Cadfan Vaughan.

-He's one of Bethel's children,

-one of the Lleifior family.

-It seems like only yesterday when

-he stood here reciting his verses.

-His voice as clear as a bell.

-We always said he'd be a preacher.

-Next Sunday, we have

-Mr J Wyn Jones, Llanfyllin.

-The Lord Jesus offers himself

-to you as a personal saviour.

-This message has fallen on deaf ears.

-Even here in Bethel, Llanaerwen...

-..the church so dear to my heart.

-At last! I thought it was stuck.

-Thank God we don't need a vet.

-We'll just have to struggle on.

-Pull! I'll keep his head straight.

-Ready?

-Let there be no other God but me.

-Is that the problem? Other Gods

-competing for your hearts?

-I'm sorry to have to say this.

-There's one powerful God

-amongst you, Bethel people.

-It's the God of property.

-I'm afraid many of you

-are in its grasp.

-I'm afraid some of my own family are.

-Some of my closest relatives.

-What will father say?

-That's how things go.

-You know how he feels about losses.

-You know how he feels about losses.

-

-We did all we could.

-These things happen.

-I wouldn't have liked to be in your

-

-uncle Harri's shoes this morning.

-If the cap fits.

-Well done Cadfan! You're dead right.

-Well done Cadfan! You're dead right.

-

-You think so, Meurig?

-Well done Cadfan! You're dead right.

-

-You think so, Meurig?

-

-Certainly. He who has ears...

-Let's hope the message reached yours.

-Come on, Gwenllian.

-Gran will want her lunch.

-Come on, Gwenllian.

-Gran will want her lunch.

-

-It won't hurt her to wait.

-Uncle Karl.

-Your father didn't deserve that

-sermon, Cadfan. He's a good man.

-We're all sinners. Even Father.

-Your boy doesn't pull any punches.

-Your boy doesn't pull any punches.

-

-You're telling me!

-I don't suppose you object

-to eating lunch at my property?

-What about the calf?

-What about the calf?

-

-It was stillborn.

-Einion and I did our best to save it

-That's a pity.

-Bullocks are in great demand,

-especially Lleifior's.

-How did your sermon go down, Cadfan?

-It's not for me to say.

-What did you think, Father?

-I'm sure that kind of thing will go down well in the Swansea Valley...

-..as it did with some people here.

-Keep my pudding warm, please, Mother

-I'm going to check on the cow.

-Will you come over later, Father?

-I'll see you, Cadfan.

-Who's there now?

-It's Aunt Greta.

-In a hurry by the looks of it.

-I won't keep you.

-Cadfan!

-Harri, I'd like a word.

-Two minutes - I can't stop.

-Two minutes - I can't stop.

-

-I'll wait for you in the office.

-You devil!

-Have you finished?

-I must have my share

-of father's money.

-That's impossible. I've discussed Y Gelli with Maldwyn.

-You can imagine his reaction.

-How long would the sale take?

-Two months to put it on the market.

-With things as they are, it could

-take a year or two to sell it.

-With things as they are, it could

-take a year or two to sell it.

-

-I can't wait that long.

-That could be too late for Emil.

-Lend me the money, and I'll pay you

-

-back when we've sold Y Gelli.

-I've racked my brain thinking

-how I can help you and Emil.

-I can't just raise forty thousand

-in ready cash. Not now. I can't.

-Can't? Won't, you mean!

-Can't? Won't, you mean!

-

-I think the world of Emil...

-..and you.

-But this place means more to you!

-I don't know how long you intend

-to badger me like this...

-..but I'm near the end

-of my tether...

-..with you and everything else.

-..with you and everything else.

-

-I'm sorry, Greta.

-The answer is, "No".

-I'm sorry, Greta.

-The answer is, "No".

-Will Cadfan be home for tea?

-Will Cadfan be home for tea?

-

-No, he's going to Blaen Aerwen...

-..and then straight home

-after the evening service.

-He always used to stay until Monday.

-He says he has a committee meeting

-

-tomorrow morning.

-And he's afraid to face his father.

-I don't think Cadfan's

-afraid of anyone.

-I don't think Cadfan's

-afraid of anyone.

-

-You didn't say a word

-to each other at lunch.

-You didn't say a word

-to each other at lunch.

-His sermon hurt you, didn't it?

-I don't understand him, having a go

- at everyone so unashamedly.

-All right, maybe I was hurt.

-Well, yes. I was!

-I'm not obsessed with my property.

-Anyhow, property can do good.

-Anyhow, property can do good.

-

-Such as helping Greta

-get treatment for Emil?

-Is she still up in the office?

-I'd better go to her.

-Mr Vaughan!

-You forgot your papers.

-You forgot your papers.

-

-Thank you.

-Aren't you coming to lunch?

-Aren't you coming to lunch?

-

-No, I'm going home.

-I have to see my doctor.

-I have to see my doctor.

-

-There's nothing wrong?

-I have to see my doctor.

-

-There's nothing wrong?

- Not as far as I know. Just a check-up

-You seem so distant. You won't even

-

-look at me. Have I offended you?

-You seem so distant. You won't even

-

-look at me. Have I offended you?

-

-No, Arianrhod.

-I don't understand.

-I don't understand.

-

-I'll meet you later.

-Meet me at Johnson's at six.

-We have to talk.

-Why don't you come to the flat,

-as usual?

-Why don't you come to the flat,

-as usual?

-

-Johnson's. At six.

-Come in, Nurse Rowlands.

-Sorry I looked so blank.

-I was expecting Nurse Pugh.

-I was expecting Nurse Pugh.

-

-As you know, she's about to retire

-

-and I'm gradually taking over.

-So you have a new nurse, Emil.

-Are you not Nurse Pugh in a mask?

-Are you not Nurse Pugh in a mask?

-

-I can see he's going to be trouble!

-Nurse Pugh used to manhandle me

-in my bedroom!

-I'll be on my way,

-while you have a word with Mother.

-He has a lively sense of humour.

-Is he always like that?

-Dr Roberts gave me the rundown.

-There's nothing to worry about

-but you must take things easily.

-That's a relief.

-Spend some time at home.

-Cadfan's personal attacks

-don't help matters, either.

-I saw the effect it had on you.

-Family pressures are the worst kind.

-Is Greta still set on taking Emil

-to that German clinic?

-Yes. She's more determined than ever.

-I understand Emil's condition.

-Perhaps this Rosenthal has achieved

-

-miracles with some people...

-..but he has never seen Emil.

-In my opinion, it's a hopeless case.

-That's what my head tells me.

-My conscience tells me otherwise.

-Karl!

-A letter for you from a lawyer

-in Cologne, Dr Christian Holz.

-Does the name mean anything to you?

-Does the name mean anything to you?

-

-Nothing.

-He's staying at Henberth

-and he mentions your family.

-He's staying at Henberth

-and he mentions your family.

-

-I don't have a family, Greta.

-You must go to see him.

-You must!

-So you want to end our friendship?

-Not our friendship, Arianrhod.

-What else was it?

-If we were in love, at least I was..

-..and if we went to bed together...

-..it must have been friendship.

-It was fine by me.

-I didn't want to hurt your wife.

-I didn't want you to divorce her.

-All I wanted was your company,

-to talk to you...

-..and whatever else

-would follow naturally.

-No more than friendship?

-Did you expect to continue like that?

-Did you expect to continue like that?

-

-Why not?

-We can still be friends.

-We can still be friends.

-

-It's so easy for men.

-You don't understand my position.

-It's different for me.

-I've always lived in these parts.

-I have a public duty.

-I represent people on two councils.

-I judge them on the Bench.

-I lead them in chapel.

-I have to watch how I live.

-I don't have a private life.

-I can't have an anonymous existence

- as people do in Cardiff or Swansea.

-In a rural area such as this,

-people watch me, day in day out.

-They expect me to set an example.

-There are conventions I must respect.

-I never thought I'd hear Harri

-Vaughan uttering such words.

-I thought you were an honest man.

-A brave man. That's why

-I loved him so much.

-I still love you, but Marged...

-..has found out about us.

-So we have to put a stop to it.

-I thought our relationship meant

-as much to you as it did to me.

-I thought our relationship meant

-as much to you as it did to me.

-

-I'm so sorry, Arianrhod.

-I must see you again.

-I must see you again.

-

-It's better this way.

-No. How do you think I'll feel

-seeing you at meetings...

-..hearing you talk?

-Everything will come back to me.

-It can't all end like this.

-Move, Arianrhod, in case I hurt you.

-Move, Arianrhod, in case I hurt you.

-

-You already have.

-Harri!

-I've been trying to trace you

-for so long.

-At last, I've found you.

-Have I broken the law?

-No, no. Nothing like that!

-A cousin of yours was anxious

-to find you.

-I have the story of your life, here.

-From the time you were wounded

-in the Ukraine...

-..until you came to Wales

-as a prisoner of war.

-Good grief!

-Does the name Ute Leidner

-ring a bell?

-Yes! Little Ute!

-Her father was my mother's brother.

-She's alive?

-Very much alive!

-Married?

-No, she has dedicated her life...

-..to care for an elderly person.

-Someone very close to you.

-Shopping?

-Shopping?

-

-No, I'm meeting Karl in half an hour

-Actually, I'm late.

-I'll see you, Meinir.

-Goodbye, Aunt Greta.

-Dr Holz has just told me

-my mother's still alive.

-This Nurse Llinos is pretty, is she?

-I don't know. Is she?

-That's what Mam said.

-You might just as well admit it.

-You might just as well admit it.

-

-Admit what?

-You might just as well admit it.

-

-Admit what?

-

-That you fancy her.

-Fritz, just grow up, will you.

-Any chance of me getting...

-..to know her? Unless you want to

-keep her all to yourself, of course.

-The truth hurts. Emil...

-..is in love!

-What about you and Tracy? I haven't

-

-heard you mention her recently.

-I've lent her to Einion.

-Perhaps he'll get some...

-Perhaps he'll get some...

-

-Some what?

-Perhaps he'll get some...

-

-Some what?

-

-Some!

-Let's get things straight.

-I'll make the arrangements

-as long as you co-operate.

-I've told you how I feel.

-She's lived without me

-for forty years.

-Seeing me now

-won't make much difference.

-She sent her lawyer all the way

-to beg you to come.

-For her, you've risen from the dead.

-She thought you had been killed.

-We'll have to get passports.

-You will come, won't you?

-I expect you'll get your own way...

-..as usual.

-I'm looking forward to seeing

-my mother in law.

-His mother wants to see him.

-We have a grandmother.

-Well, I'd like to see her.

-A photo would do.

-Why did you go to Llys Argain

-this morning?

-I went to make arrangements

-for taking care of Emil...

-..while my parents are in Germany.

-..while my parents are in Germany.

-

-And what about us?

-Why can't someone from

-Lleifior look after him?

-You know I can't do anything.

-I never expect you to!

-Emil needs a great deal of care.

-I'm crippled, too.

-I suppose that doesn't count.

-Let me pass, please.

-We'll talk about other matters

-when the men come in to lunch.

-Perhaps I'll get more sense

-out of them.

-We'll take care of things

-here.

-We'll take care of things

-here.

-

-It'll be a harrowing journey,

-especially for Karl.

-I've never felt so nervous.

-I've never felt so nervous.

-

-But you won't regret going.

-I'm not so sure.

-I don't want to go anywhere.

-I don't want to go anywhere.

-

-You are my family, now.

-I don't need anyone else.

-I don't want to go anywhere.

-

-You are my family, now.

-I don't need anyone else.

-

-Not even your mother?

-Here's your train.

-Here's your train.

-

-We'll 'phone Llys Argain.

-Fritz will pass on any news.

-If he remembers!

-You were just a little girl

-when I last saw you.

-I couldn't imagine how you'd look.

-Like this, Karl, like this.

-How is she?

-Weak, but looking forward

-to seeing you.

-Karl, you go and see her.

-I'll stay here with Ute.

-I've waited so long.

-More than forty years!

-So you weren't killed

-in the Ukraine.

-And you weren't killed in the bombing

-My Karl...alive.

-So is my mother.

-So long...so long...without knowing.

-You can go up now.

-Any children?

-So I have four grandchildren...

-..whom I've never seen.

-There's something I must tell you.

-Don't get yourself worked up.

-No, I must tell you know.

-When your father died...

-..I was very lonely.

-I remarried.

-I know.

-And you're not angry?

-I've brought Greta...

-..my wife, to see you.

-Arthur Preese is riding high since he

- got the better of me in the Council.

-Knowing him, that's not the end of it

-There'll be new tactics, new moves.

-I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he has links with this English company.

-But it will be impossible to prove.

-Preese always has been

-both clever and underhanded.

-I had better watch my step and be wary of seemingly innocent proposals

-Especially if he's in favour of them.

-He has allies, both on the council

-and in the business world.

-Your mother's not giving in easily.

-Your mother's not giving in easily.

- She could last years, or it could all be over in a matter of minutes.

-Ute said she was determined to see me

-Karl, what is it?

-I asked her about her second husband.

-She said they were very happy.

-She kept on asking me

-if I was angry with her.

-She kept on asking me

-if I was angry with her.

-

-Nothing odd about that.

-She wouldn't tell me what he was like

- or what he did.

-Inhaler!

-Are you all alone, Emil?

-Meinir 'phoned to say

-everything was all right...

-..that Fritz had got back.

-Oh, it's you.

-I just popped in to see Emil.

-We'd better call the doctor.

-The doctor can't help.

-No more than you can.

-He has bouts like this.

-Gets short of breath.

-Then he's in pain. Aren't you Emil?

-So there's nothing you can do,

-is there?

-What will Preese target next?

-Will it be Lleifior or me?

-Who or what will he use to foil me?

-For the first time ever,

-I'm not sure I can fight back.

-Sleep. You've waited so long.

-I'm glad I got here in time.

-Thank you for taking care of me.

-They split us apart.

-Took me to fight for the Vaterland.

-Peace be with you, mother.

-Your mother wishes to see you.

-Would you come up, please?

-It will be good to be at rest.

-But there's one thing.

-I'd like you to forgive me, Karl.

-Forgive you?

-You don't need my forgiveness.

-Will you forgive me...

-..for remarrying?

-But there's nothing to forgive.

-You were lonely.

-You'd lost father and Jurgen, and me.

-I loved your father...

-..more than anyone in the world.

-A woman only loves like that once.

-What was he like...Otto?

-He was a good man...despite being...

-Despite being what?

-You'll find out everything, one day.

-He was a good man.

-He was very kind to me.

-Can you forgive me, Karl?

-I've already told you, mother...

-..there's nothing to forgive.

-Who are these Mercia Leisure people?

-No idea, but I intend finding out.

-It would solve Greta's problem.

-They only want a small plot

-There'd be people trampling all over.

- It would ruin the place.

-I've your best interests at heart.

-

-You're so worried about Greta.

-That's all you've had on your mind

-

-since you saw Emil the other day.

-You disappoint me, Marged.

-I thought we agreed on this.

-I'm determined to put a stop to it.

-Don't do anything you might regret.

-Come with me to the top of Y Foel.

-Come and see Lleifior.

-Stop blaming yourself, Karl.

-You weren't to know she was alive.

-Go to her now

-You'd better not stay too long.

-You asked...about Otto.

-I was afraid to tell you, in case...

-In case of what?

-He owned a big business

-by the time I met him.

-But as an apprentice...as a lad...

-..far away... in Dachau...

-to work in the prison camp.

-I don't remember.

-Was he in the army?

-The army...yes.

-He was a Nazi?

-He was a good man.

-But a Nazi all the same.

-A good man, Karl.

-He suffered...in prison.

-Otto didn't...didn't...

-You married a Nazi!

-One of the Fuhrer's gang!

-My own mother.

-You said you'd forgiven me.

-Don't change your mind now.

-Don't... Look at me, Karl.

-You can forgive me, Karl.

-You should forgive...your mother.

-Try to forgive...try to say.

-I was about to say...

-Lord... receive her..

-Comfort her as I couldn't.

-You won't reject her.

-Just look at it.

-It's so peaceful, isn't it?

-Just look at it.

-It's so peaceful, isn't it?

-

-Yes.

-Maldwyn tending his sheep...

-..Einion getting ready for his race.

-They're in their element.

-You do understand, don't you Marged?

-You do understand, don't you Marged?

-

-Understand what, Harri?

-Why things have to stay like this.

-Why those Mercia people

-mustn't get their hands on it.

-Why those Mercia people

-mustn't get their hands on it.

-

-I think I understand.

-It's such a difficult choice.

-We either keep Lleifior intact

-or sell part of it...

-..so that we can help Greta and Emil

-How was that, Maldwyn?

-How was that, Maldwyn?

-

-Two seconds faster.

-Is that all?

-Is that all?

-

-It was faster.

-That's all that counts.

-Preese will still beat me.

-I watched him riding the other day.

-Preese will still beat me.

-I watched him riding the other day.

-

-I'll have to get back to the sheep.

-

-You'd better time yourself.

-I do understand how you feel.

-It's your home. It was your

-father's, your grandfather's.

-It has always been in the family.

-I share your love of Lleifior.

-This is where our children

-were brought up.

-I'd like it to stay

-the same for ever. But...

-I'd like it to stay

-the same for ever. But...

-

-But?

-Getting Greta the money

-is more important?

-I once knew someone

-who not only understood...

-..but saw things as I saw them.

-That's a rare quality.

-To be able to analyse a problem,

-and find a solution.

-Arianrhod Baker you mean?

-Arianrhod Baker you mean?

-

-No. I didn't mention her.

-I know she's more clever than me.

-Cleverness has nothing to do with it.

-When are you seeing her again?

-When are you seeing her again?

-

-It's over. You know it is.

-Are you sure?

-Are you sure?

-

-I'm sure.

-Even though I'm not much help?

-Even though I'm not much help?

-

-Don't tease me.

-I bequeath the remainder

-of my posessions...

-..wherever they may be

-and of whatever description...

-..to my son Karl.

-The rest is just technical stuff.

-Anything you'd like to ask?

-Could you tell me, Dr Holz...

-..how much does this mean?

-I can't give you the precise total..

-..but including this house...

-..about 600,000 Marks.

-Nearly 200,000!

-It's Nazi money!

-I'm not taking a single mark.

-Listen.

-Listen.

-

-Is Karl refusing the money, Greta?

-Listen.

-

-Is Karl refusing the money, Greta?

-

-Yes.

-Are you mad?

-Are you mad?

-

-Ute can have the lot.

-She's devoted her life to mother.

-Karl, listen! It's for Emil.

-Don't you realise? Your mother's

-given us this money to cure Emil.

-If you'd like to sign the document,

-

-Herr Weissman...

-..come to my office tomorrow

-and I'll have the papers ready.

-Think things over carefuly.

-To cure Emil!
