Pennod 5 Lleifior

-Harri, you're shivering! Wear your

-dressing gown, for heaven's sake.

-I shan't stay here long.

-Something is upsetting the horses.

-I'm going down.

-Where?

-Where?

-

-The stables, of course. I won't rest

-

-until I find out what's wrong.

-I won't let you!

-You're already chilled through.

-Come back to bed.

-Mum is bound to smell that stuff.

-She'd have a fit!

-Karl!

-What's wrong?

-What's wrong?

-

-It's Fritz.

-What's happened to him?

-What's happened to him?

-

-Drugs.

-What took you so long?

-What can I do if the old girl wants a cup of tea all hours of the night?

-She's old.

-Try to be more patient with her.

-There's no pleasing her!

-If only you stood up for me once in a while, instead of siding with her.

-I saw Meinir and the children today.

-They're growing up so fast.

-Wake up, Fritz!

-Don't bother, mum.

-Emil, since when has Fritz...

-Emil, since when has Fritz...

-

-I don't know!

-Cannabis. I read somewhere

-that it smells like incense.

-First Lowri, now Fritz.

-And me?

-And me?

-

-Don't you dare!

-She's a bit lame, isn't she, dad?

-She's a bit lame, isn't she, dad?

-

-She looks all right to me.

-She's a bit lame, isn't she, dad?

-

-She looks all right to me.

-

-Put your hand on her knee.

-It's rather swollen here.

-Leave it to Einion and me, Mal.

-Fritz, I worry about you.

-What do you have to say for yourself?

-Fritz! I'm talking to you!

-Fritz, answer your mother.

-Where's your chain?

-I lost it.

-I lost it.

-

-Where?

-I lost it.

-

-Where?

-

-When I was mucking out at Lleifior.

-I lost it.

-This drugs business.

-I don't know much about them,

-but I do know they're dangerous.

-They affect your health

-and your personality.

-They affect your health

-and your personality.

-

-Don't preach at me.

-We don't have to discuss this now.

-You've always leapt to his defence.

-Being loyal won't save him

-from the grave danger he's facing.

-Don't you realise?

-I'm off.

-I'm off.

-

-Stay where you are. Let us pray.

-We can't part on this sour note.

-Don't waste your breath

-on my account.

-Emil?

-Emil?

-

-Some other time, dad.

-Will she be fit for the show?

-She needs nursing, that's for sure.

-You mustn't race her for a while.

-But the show's coming soon.

-But the show's coming soon.

-

-Well, you can't race her now.

-I'll pop in to see the farrier

-on my way to the Education Committee

-Keep her indoors, feed her well,

-but don't give her too much water.

-I'll see what the farrier suggests.

-

-We'll do our best by you, Einion.

-Are you all right, Mrs Weissman?

-You look pale.

-I'm fine, nurse.

-How's Emil?

-Emil!

-Do you have to attend

-the Education Committee?

-What's bothering you?

-What's wrong with the Committee?

-The very mention of it brings back

-unpleasant memories. Can't you see?

-You're still struggling for breath.

-A little.

-I'll fetch your pump.

-Something has upset you.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-Forget it, whatever it was.

-Here it is.

-We use these disks, now.

-You always have something new,

-something better.

-Let me show you how to use it.

-I think I'll pop over to Lleifior.

-What a mess!

-What a mess!

-

-Have you time for a cuppa?

-Harri!

-Gwen! Where are you, Gwen?

-Where's Gwen?

-Off on some jaunt or other.

-One "chat" is never enough for her.

-Goodness only knows where she is.

-How dare you complain about her.

-There's nothing so blind

-as a mother's love, is there?

-Time to start, ladies and gentlemen.

-The translation equipment's in place

- and working, so we'll begin.

-Before turning to the Agenda...

-..welcome back

-Councillor Harri Vaughan...

-..after your recent bout of illness.

-You'll take your rightful place at the front, for the next meeting.

-We're also pleased to welcome back...

-..our Assistant Director of Education, Dr Arianrhod Baker.

-She's been unwell, too.

-Your rightful place awaits you also

- at the next meeting.

-There are one or two apologies.

-Arianrhod! Let me take you home.

-Arianrhod! Let me take you home.

-

-I'd rather walk.

-Don't be so stubborn.

-Don't be so stubborn.

-

-Only as far as the front door, then.

-Crying, you say?

-She was crying all right.

-Your mother isn't used

-to being put in her place, is she?

-My mother wouldn't cry unless

-something was seriously wrong.

-What about my lunch?

-It's been in the oven

-for over an hour.

-Unless you've switched it off.

-Up to your tricks again.

-What do you mean, tricks?

-What do you mean, tricks?

- You know what Dafydd said last time.

-Just one more spiteful trick...

-..and you'd be sent to a home.

-I'll come in - just for a minute.

-I'll come in - just for a minute.

-

-There's no point.

-What is the point, Arianrhod?

-What is the point, Arianrhod?

-

-You promised your wife.

-It doesn't mean not talking to you.

-That's how it all started

-- just talking.

-Your wife knows that one thing

-leads to another.

-I'm not leaving until I know

-everything's all right.

-I've been through a lot recently.

-On my own. With no-one's help.

-That's how I'll continue.

-That's how I'll continue.

-

-I worried about you every single day

-I saw your mother a while back.

-I saw your mother a while back.

-

-Mum? Where?

-On the old bridge. I was crossing

-the new bridge when I saw her.

-What on earth was she doing there?

-What on earth was she doing there?

-

-That's what I asked myself.

-You're being very unfair, you know.

-You once told me...

-..that you'd be happy just to see

-me and talk to me sometimes.

-But when I approach you,

-I find you've changed your mind.

-Where does that leave me?

-You promised your wife

-you'd never see me again.

-I tried to accept the situation.

-That's what made me ill.

-And then you come here

-as if nothing had happened!

-Where does that leave me?

-Arianrhod...

-..I know what I want, now.

-When we split up...

-..I realised I couldn't live

-without you.

-My life was empty.

-I had no-one to talk to

-about the important things in life.

-I had to face the truth, Arianrhod.

-I'm in love with you.

-Are you all right, Emil?

-Are you all right, Emil?

-

-Yes, by now.

-When did mum leave?

-When did mum leave?

-

-When Llinos was here.

-Don't you mean Nurse Rowlands?

-Mum said something

-I didn't quite catch...

-..and then she was gone.

-But that was hours ago!

-Have you eaten at all?

-Have you eaten at all?

-

-I didn't fancy anything.

-You've got to eat!

-You think everything

-is yours for the taking.

-Just because you're one

-of the Lleifior gentry.

-In love with me indeed!

-Do you expect me to believe that?

-In love with me indeed!

-Do you expect me to believe that?

-

-It's the truth.

-No man in love could have kept away

-

-for all this time.

-No word, no contact for weeks!

-Even when I was ill!

-No card, no phonecall, nothing.

-I'm sorry for being so honest

-with you.

-Don't women respect honesty in a man?

-What made her go to the old bridge?

-Who knows? She used to go there with

- your father, when they were courting.

-They used to walk along the riverbank

-They used to walk along the riverbank

-

-Really?

-Is Uncle Harri around?

-Is Uncle Harri around?

- No, he's at the Education Committee.

-But he should be told.

-After all, she is his sister.

-The County Council? Could I speak

-to Councillor Harri Vaughan?

-Thank you very much. She's sent someone to look for him.

-I hope he's there.

-I hope he's there.

-

-He's bound to be.

-The meeting can't possibly be over.

-Not there?

-I see.

-Thank you very much.

-The meeting isn't over,

-but Harri has left.

-The receptionist thought

-she'd seen him in the car park.

-Can't we at least be friends?

-That's why I came.

-That's why I came.

-

-The same old cliches.

-"Let's be friends".

-You're pathetic!

-Didn't you hear what I just said?

-I've had my share of suffering.

-Go back to your wife.

-If I upset you, I'll move away.

-Hadn't you better answer the phone?

-Henberth 3756.

-Oh. Mrs Vaughan.

-Harri's there, I take it.

-Just give him a message.

-It's rather serious, I'm afraid.

-His sister has disappeared.

-I think Harri's the one

-who should contact the police.

-He can phone the police from here,

-Mrs Vaughan.

-They need you at Lleifior.

-Well, Gran.

-I'm glad you could come, Meinir.

-How are things at Llys Argain?

-Emil's in a bad way. Gwenllian

-has never seen him so worked up.

-Poor mite.

-What do they hope to find?

-What do they hope to find?

-

-Greta's car.

-If she's done something silly,

-her car would still be here.

-Fritz!

-Come here a minute.

-Do you recognise this coat?

-What do you make of it, Arfon?

-The coat is perfectly dry.

-It hasn't been in the river at all.

-I would say that it dropped down

-while your sister was standing here.

-I used to love teasing her,

-just to see her lose her temper.

-I never dreamt it would come to this

-You'd be better off at home, Fritz.

- Aunt Marged will be along shortly.

-Another hour of dragging the river

-will double the cost.

-I'd be grateful if you carried on.

-All right, boys. Go in again.

-Greta's changed.

-She used to be so happy-go-lucky. Before she married that Rushmere chap

-I'm sorry, Karl. I shouldn't have mentioned his name.

-It's all right.

-It's all right.

-

-She changed again on marrying you.

-The spark returned to her eyes.

-Don't blame yourself, Karl.

-You brought happiness back to her.

-Whatever has happened...

-..you aren't the one to blame.

-Are you saying she's gone

-because of me?

-Are you saying she's gone

-because of me?

-

-Of course he's not.

-But your antics, on top of

-everything else, didn't help matters

-That's a fact.

-How dare you, of all people,

-point a finger at me.

-Had you an ounce of concern for mum,

-

-you would have acted ages ago.

-But Lleifior is the be-all

-and end-all, isn't it? If mum...

-Nothing's happened to your mother...

-..and Harri's done

-all he could today.

-Stop treating him like a tin god!

-Stop it, all of you!

-You must all be famished by now!

-I'd like to help,

-if that's all right.

-You're welcome, Tracy.

-You're lucky to have a sister

-like Gwenllian, lads.

-She and Tracy have been hard at it.

-So you're Emil!

-I haven't met Emil before.

-If you'll excuse me, I'm off to bed.

-If you'll excuse me, I'm off to bed.

-

-Wait a little longer, dad.

-Have I offended you in any way?

-Of course not, Tracy dear.

-I know you'd rather be alone

-with the boys...

-..but Harri and I will be off,

-once we've eaten.

-We'll take Tracy and Gwenllian

-with us.

-And where might you be going?

-And where might you be going?

-

-I was coming to fetch you.

-Aren't I good!

-Any news of Aunt Greta?

-Any news of Aunt Greta?

-

-Not yet.

-Uncle Karl wanted to be alone.

-We brought Tracy with us,

-thinking you'd take her home.

-Of course. Hop in.

-Before I forget,

-I have some ointment for the mare.

-Thank you. Would you mind

-seeing to her tonight?

-All right,

-seeing as you asked so nicely.

-You go in, Marged. I'll see

-to the mare before coming in.

-Dad, what does "tatlichkeit" mean?

-Violence.

-You'd be better off in bed,

-reading something more cheerful.

-I'll put you to bed.

-Don't go just yet, Fritz.

-We haven't prayed together...

-..since you were children.

-We need to pray together tonight,

-of all nights.

-I'd like you to help me.

-Will you pray with me, my sons?

-It would be pointless if I prayed.

-

-It would be an hypocrisy.

-I don't know, dad.

-I honestly don't know.

-Goodnight, dad.

-That felt good, didn't it?

-You'll be better in no time.

-You've suffered, haven't you?

-Like me.

-But it's over.

-I must learn to accept things

-as they are.

-It's good to talk to an animal

-when you're treating it.

-It's a chance to unburden yourself.

-You weren't talking about Greta,

-I take it.

-No. I was talking about Arianrhod.

-I told the mare that everything

-was over between us.

-There was a chance

-the mare might believe me.

-I've heard it all before...

-..only to find

-that nothing's changed!

-The "other woman" said quite plainly

- that she never wants to see me again.

-But you want to see her!

-I've yet to decide

-what I'm going to do.

-Greta is all that matters now.

-If you'd tried to be

-a real brother to her...

-..instead of chasing other women...

-..who knows,

-this might never have happened.

-Any news this morning?

-They found her car at the station.

-Your father's at the police station.

-What on earth has happened to her?

-I didn't sleep a wink last night.

-Meinir and I were talking for hours.

-It might be selfish

-to think along these lines...

-..but if something's happened

-to Greta...

-..I dread to think what effect

-it will have on your father.

-Shouldn't Lowri be told, Gwenllian?

-Should we disturb her?

-She's very busy.

-That's for her to decide.

-She wouldn't want us to keep

-mum's disappearance from her.

-I'll phone her.

-She should be at her office by now.

-I'll take the call, thank you.

-Gwenlli! What a nice surprise!

-How are you?

-What?

-I'm on my way.

-I'll let you know when I'm due.

-Tell them not to worry.

-Thanks for phoning.

-Cancel all this week's appointments.

-I have been called home, urgently.

-The police searched for hours.

-This was yesterday?

-This was yesterday?

-

-That's right.

-Shrewsbury, you said?

-Shrewsbury, you said?

-

-Then she boarded another train.

-The ticket-seller couldn't remember

-

-which one.

-I think I know where she might be.

-Could I borrow your car?

-Could I borrow your car?

-

-Let me drive you.

-I'd rather go alone,

-if you don't mind.

-If that's what you want.

-I'm going to Liverpool.

-It makes some sort of sense,

-I suppose.

-It makes some sort of sense,

-I suppose.

-

-Let's hope so.

-Divorce, Greta?

-You can't mean that.

-Why not, Paul?

-

-We don't get on very well, do we?

-Our marriage didn't stand much

-of a chance, from the beginning.

-Greta, don't leave me.

-I couldn't face it.

-I couldn't face it.

-

-But it's difficult, Paul.

-It has been sometimes, I know.

-

-I've been beastly more than once.

-I'm sorry.

-I'll really try and change.

-Are you all right, love?

-I used to live here.

-Are you sure?

-Are you sure?

-

-Yes.

-That's Liverpool for you!

-Lord, help us.

-On our own, we're too weak.

-We're overcome with worry.

-We have wondered and wondered...

-..but we know that You

-are with Greta, wherever she is.

-Keep her safe, Lord.

-If it be Your will,

-let us have her back home.

-Help us accept

-whatever lies ahead...

-..now and forever.

-Are you all right, mum?

-Our Father, which art in heaven.

-Hallowed by Thy name.

-Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,

- On earth, as it is in heaven.

-It's Lowri. Mum is safe and well.

-Harri! They've found Greta!

-So you decided to come back.

-Everything was going wrong.

-My whole life is a punishment

-for what happened to Paul.

-The accident wasn't your fault.

-Oh, but it was!

-I couldn't face the thought of going

- to his parents' home for Christmas.

-I wanted to go home to Lleifior...

-..but he wouldn't come with me.

-After he'd gone to work,

-I went home...

-..wrote him a note, and left.

-He came after me in his car...

-..and he was killed in an accident.

-I've never been able

-to forgive myself.

-His parents never forgave me, either.

-Was it selfish of me...

-..to go back to Lleifior?

-Mother had just passed away,

-and I wanted to be with Father.

-I never loved Paul.

-The marriage was doomed.

-There was nothing between us.

-I was so young.

-I had to come back...

-..to free myself from the past...

-..to try and shake off this guilt.

-You do understand, don't you?

-Goodness knows how long

-I'd been sitting on that wall.

-Nothing remained of the old house.

-Lowri...

-..I can't forget.

-I can't forget the past.

-But it's passed, hasn't it?

-Good morning, Super.

-Good morning, Super.

-

-Ah, Mr Vaughan.

-I was pleased to hear

-about your sister.

-I knew she'd be all right.

-I'm very grateful to you, Arfon.

-How is she?

-How is she?

-

-Still in Liverpool, with Lowri.

-Greta was too tired

-to come home last night.

-Have you talked to her?

-Have you talked to her?

-

-Not yet.

-We'll talk when she comes home.

-What's on today?

-Aren't we starting

-earlier than usual?

-Three Welsh cases.

-It was your idea to group them together, before a Welsh bench.

-You should enjoy one of them!

-The Brynyfed father and son

-have been fighting - again!

-This is wonderful!

-I can't remember the last time I had

-

-breakfast in bed - and at 11.30!

-I didn't want to disturb you.

-I didn't want to disturb you.

-

-I slept like a log!

-Are you enjoying it?

-You're spoiling me.

-You're spoiling me.

-

-Well, it's about time someone did.

-Both defendants had injuries.

-The older defendant,

-David John Lemmin...

-..had a cut above his right eye

-and his nose was bleeding.

-Young Nigel Clarence Lemmin

-had a swollen cheek and bloody hands

-I got their names and addresses...

-..and charged them with breach of

-the peace and causing bodily harm.

-Thank you, P C Williams.

-We'll hear both defendants, now.

-Lowri...

-..there's just one other place I'd

-like to visit, before going home.

-All right.

-Mr Lemmin, tell the court what

-happened between you and your son...

-..at the Eagles.

-Clarence gave me a fiver

-to put on this horse.

-I went down to Corrals, as I was told

-Which horse did you back?

-Gold Star - and the bugger lost!

-He was awfully young.

-A year younger than I am now.

-He was brilliant.

-He was my husband, and he loved me.

-That's why he followed me to Lleifior

- that night...

-..and had that accident.

-You see...

-..I could never love Paul

-as I loved your father.

-I'll wait for you at the gate.

-According to the "Sporting Record"...

-..Gold Star won the 2.20

-at Newmarket.

-I put it to you

-that you cheated your son...

-..put his money on Joiner's Lad...

-..and it was this horse

-which lost the race!

-No, no.

-No, no.

-

-Yes, it was!

-Mr Nigel Clarence Lemmin, you shall have your say in a while.

-Aren't wild birds lucky!

-I've often envied you, you know.

-Me?

-Me?

-

-Your freedom and your youth.

-And I've always looked up to you.

-And I've always looked up to you.

-

-Have you?

-I still do. I mentioned it to Oscar

- the other day.

-Oscar?

-But what about Nick?

-Why on earth should you envy me?

-Your life's so stable and worth-while

-You balance the needs

-of three totally different men...

-..keeping them happy

-year in, year out.

-..keeping them happy

-year in, year out.

-

-I don't know about that!

-I can't even keep one man happy!

-I'd be just like you

-- if I were young and single!

-Really?

-That's one characteristic

-you didn't get from your father!

-Let's hear your story once more.

-Can we have the truth, this time?

-Can we have the truth, this time?

-

-May I say it English, please?

-But you asked for a Welsh trial!

-That was his idea - he's Welsh Nash.

-Shut it!

-Now look.

-If you can't conduct

-yourself properly in this court...

-..you'll be facing another charge

-of contempt of court.

-You'll have your say once Mr Burton

- has finished with your father.

-Understand?

-Understand?

-

-He'd better.

-Thank you, Mr Osborne.

-This is your third appearance here.

-David John Lemmin

-and Nigel Clarence Lemmin.

-We find you both guilty...

-..of breaching the peace

-and causing bodily harm.

-We fine you 150...

-..and 60 pounds costs, each.

-You are also banned...

-..from the Eagles and every other pub

- for six months.

-I have one thing more to say.

-You behaved disgracefully

-in a public place.

-Had you been strangers,

-and not at all related...

-..then it wouldn't be quite

-so shocking.

-But father and son?

-Fathers and sons, of all people,

-should be able to live in harmony.

-Every father and son I know

-does so.

-All alone?

-All alone?

-

-As you see.

-Still no sign of them?

-Have they phoned?

-Have they phoned?

-

-Not this morning.

-What's taking them so long?

-What's taking them so long?

-

-Traffic, perhaps.

-Why don't we phone?

-Why don't we phone?

-

-Phone who?

-Why don't we phone?

-

-Phone who?

-

-Liverpool.

-Why don't we phone?

-Do you know where they are?

-Do you know where they are?

-

-I hadn't thought of that.

-Let's phone Gwen!

-Let's phone Gwen!

-

-Leave her be.

-We've got some ham and a tin of peas

-Can you slice the bread

-without slicing your fingers off?

-She's been upsetting me, again,

-this morning.

-She wouldn't let me help her!

-She just tells me I'm in the way.

-Gwen, is that how you talk to Gran?

-Gwen, is that how you talk to Gran?

-

-So she says.

-Are you trying to make me out a liar?

-Not at all. But this morning

-was worse than usual.

-I'm so worried about mum.

-We understand, Gwen.

-We all share your concern.

-Why worry?

-The woman's alive and kicking.

-She's with this one's sister...

-..gadding about in Liverpool!

-Your sister should be home by now.

-Your sister should be home by now.

-

-I hope so.

-Let me know.

-Of course, but...

-We spent some time searching for her

-I'd like to be sure

-it won't happen again.

-Her problem needs to be solved,

-don't you agree?

-Who answered the phone, Gwen?

-Who answered the phone, Gwen?

-

-Fritz. Still no word from Lowri.

-Fritz is staying with Emil.

-Dad insisted on going back to work.

-Has Emil had lunch?

-Has Emil had lunch?

-

-Sort of.

-Dad and Fritz

-tried to cook up something!

-I'll pop over, to sort things out.

-I'll pop over, to sort things out.

-

-Now?

-But we haven't finished here, yet!

-She's right. Finish your food.

-She's right. Finish your food.

-

-But they need me at Llys Argain!

-And who's going to clear up?

-Would it be too much to ask you

-to do it, for once?

-Gwenllian?

-Father and son, you say...

-..fighting in a pub?

-I'd have jailed them for five years!

-For shame, mum.

-Jail, indeed, after giving us

-such a good laugh!

-Your mother's very hard-hearted

-these days.

-She used to be so forgiving.

-She used to be so forgiving.

-

-I've seen the folly of my ways.

-I gave them a good talking to.

-I gave them a good talking to.
