-You should lift the veil to check

-you're marrying the right one!

-Gwenlli.

-Gwenlli.

-

-You're behind this.

-My daughter

-has come to church to see me.

-There was a letter for me out here.

-If the letter turns up,

-just throw it away.

-Don't read it.

-I want you to leave.

-You're pathetic.

-I'm not having an affair.

-She's stalking me.

-You have your needs too,

-don't you, Terwyn?

-GASPS

-"I tell you the truth,

-one of you is going to betray me"

-Hello? Terwyn? Anyone home?

-Hiya, Terwyn, it's Myf.

-Listen,

-we're too old for this business.

-Come home

-so that we can talk sensibly.

-I have the house to myself

-at the moment.

-OK.

-Ta-ta.

-Just tell me what you want.

-Don't think

-I'm going to give you the password.

-Tudur Aled...

-..1525.

-Never use the same password

-for everything, Dr Daniels.

-Sorry, Terwyn.

-What's that?

-Make yourself comfortable.

-What on earth...?

-Hello.

-Hello.

-

-I'm just returning these.

-Thank you.

-Please come in.

-Thank you.

-I thought he'd have been back

-by now. He's probably on his way.

-How is he?

-I really don't want to interfere.

-His shirts

-have never looked so good.

-That comes

-from being married to an undertaker.

-There's me thinking

-Eurig ironed his own shirts.

-Yes, well, you don't know Eurig

-like I know him, do you?

-I hope it gets better for you.

-I really hope so.

-You know, don't you?

-About the letter.

-The cat.

-That bloody cat you gave me.

-You've gone too far this time,

-Angharad.

-It's research.

-I need to make sure

-I know every small detail about you.

-I'll have

-less catching up to do in the end.

-In the end?

-What are you talking about?

-Listen to this.

-You really don't want to miss it.

-Listen,

-no-one was meant to see that letter.

-Ignore a lot

-of what I've done recently.

-I've got a condition...

-..and I'm not thinking straight.

-Well, it sounds

-very plausible to me, anyway.

-It's only a scrap of paper.

-A daft woman thinking she's dying.

-You're denying it now, are you?

-You're denying it now, are you?

-

-No.

-It's no surprise.

-We women notice each other,

-don't we?

-I didn't think you'd go so far...

-I didn't think you'd go so far...

-

-Cerian, please.

-I was doolally. No-one was meant

-to see the letter until I was dead.

-Well, Eurig better not see it...

-..ever!

-Do you want to read it?

-I have a copy.

-I have several copies, in fact.

-I made enough copies in case

-anything happened to the original.

-We researchers

-know how to guard our material.

-Switch that off, will you? Please.

-It gets very interesting

-when she's alone.

-I don't have to

-listen to you any more, God.

-Do you understand?

-Stop playing with me like this.

-Ta-dah!

-Why send me him all the time?

-I always thought

-I had two left feet.

-But when you're dead, Myfanwy...

-..you can do anything.

-Come on, I'll lead. Off we go!

-There's much more to it

-than sequins and taffeta.

-This helps you understand

-your place in the world.

-I'm meant to get rid of you.

-But didn't you ever consider

-that I actually come from in here?

-Come on, Myfanwy, on your feet!

-Leave me alone!

-I don't want to see you again!

-Leave me alone!

-Is that what you want?

-Because if I go away...

-..perhaps I won't return.

-Get out of here! Please!

-Go away!

-Aaarrgh!!

-She's not all there, is she?

-She's not all there, is she?

-

-She's ill.

-And what about Eurig Richards?

-Is he part of her illness too?

-Do you know how many cosy chats

-those two have in the church?

-It was you, wasn't it?

-You broke into the church and were

-messing about with her head?

-I needed an insurance policy...

-..because from what I understand...

-..this operation

-could go either way.

-If it's a success...

-..it wouldn't be so easy for us.

-I knew once you'd seen

-how deranged she was...

-..it would make it easier for you

-to come to a decision.

-You're the one who's deranged,

-Angharad.

-You're crazy.

-I never want to see you again.

-I have something to tell you

-about the research work.

-I'll tell them everything

-when I go to the police.

-Look what you've done.

-You really should learn

-to control yourself.

-I wouldn't want the university

-to misunderstand.

-I don't care what they think.

-Look, we're on the brink

-of a major discovery.

-That site is...

-I'm not interested, OK?

-Owain Glyndwr can stay where he is.

-I'm leaving the university.

-I'm taking a career break.

-You can't.

-I don't want to be an archaeologist.

-I don't want to be an archaeologist.

-

-You live and breathe archaeology.

-I don't. I really don't.

-My family comes first.

-The children...

-..Myf.

-If anything happens to her...

-But Terwyn, your place is here.

-What! Gathering bloody dust

-with all these artefacts?

-No, Angharad. Hell's bells!

-Why did I stay here as long as this?

-I've wanted to leave for ages.

-I wonder how many poems

-Tudur Aled wrote with this?

-It doesn't matter now.

-It probably wasn't his, anyway.

-What are you doing?

-What are you doing?

-

-Take over my room.

-Put your name on the door

-because I'm not coming back.

-Never.

-Hi, Myf.

-Are you alright?

-Cerian's just been here.

-I know.

-You didn't dig deep enough.

-I like at least three feet

-between me and the box I'm burying.

-But then again, I don't

-expect anyone to dig up my boxes.

-So what did Cerian say?

-That you wanted me to stay away.

-That you were angry with me

-for arranging funerals without you.

-She's misunderstood, hasn't she?

-Come on.

-Come on.

-

-It didn't sound like you.

-I could never quarrel with you.

-Shall we bury this?

-Yes, I want to forget about it.

-Let's go home and see Mam, shall we?

-Hello, Gwenlli.

-How did Angharad find it?

-How did you think anyone would find

-it if you hadn't marked it?

-I don't know.

-I thought

-it might surface one day...

-..long after I was gone.

-It would be as if I was talking

-to them once again.

-It would be like the resurrection.

-You and your resurrection!

-You and your resurrection!

-

-Oi!

-Well, I prefer you alive.

-That's good to know.

-You're not going to die.

-We're all going to die.

-We're all going to die.

-

-Yes, but not now.

-Now is not your time, Myf.

-Terwyn would say

-there's no such thing as now.

-But actually now is all we have.

-To do with it as we please...

-..while we have the chance.

-Who's funeral is he arranging today?

-Mine?

-Right,

-I'll go and put the kettle on.

-Terwyn.

-Why did you take the baby there?

-I went to see Mam.

-Do you think I'm stupid or what?

-Do you think I'm stupid or what?

-

-It's good that he's holding him.

-Maybe he'll...

-Maybe he'll...

-

-Maybe he'll what?

-Oh, my God, Gwens...

-..you'll seriously mess this up

-for me if you're not careful.

-What do you mean?

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Guto!

-Guto!

-Guto!

-

-Oh, God. Bridezilla.

-Guto, I know you're in there.

-Your car's outside, for...!

-Right, well,

-let me know if I can do anything.

-I think you've done enough.

-Thank you, Eurig. We'll try

-not to drag you into this again.

-Bye.

-Where have you been?

-Work.

-On Sunday?

-You're not the only one

-to work on the Sabbath.

-How long has he been here?

-Not long.

-Don't you have

-another service this afternoon?

-No, someone else is taking it

-in my place. They know I need time.

-There's a lot to sort out,

-isn't there?

-I've...

-I've got to show you something.

-"Hello, this is Guto Maddocks..."

-She's been watching us.

-There's a small camera in here.

-But how come someone just...?

-But how come someone just...?

-

-She gives me the creeps.

-We should report her.

-She's committed a crime.

-That's evidence.

-In this day and age,

-you know what they'll say.

-Young girls, middle-aged lecturers.

-It's her word against mine.

-If we leave it alone,

-the dust will settle.

-It's OK, Mam, it's me.

-It's OK, Mam, it's me.

-

-Take it off, Gwern.

-It's a bit early for Halloween.

-You didn't have to do the shopping.

-You didn't have to do the shopping.

-

-No problem.

-Tonight I'm cooking Russian feast.

-I hope that's OK.

-Lovely.

-It will make you

-strong and invincible.

-Russians have learnt not to give up.

-"Bydd yn wrol." - (be brave)

-Right,

-who wants an espresso Martini?

-It is five o'clock.

-I can explain, Mabs.

-My name's not Mabs, it's Mabli.

-Two syllables, not one.

-Two syllables, not one.

-

-Get back in the car.

-You said you didn't want children.

-You hate them.

-I guess, maybe...

-..I should agree to see him,

-to try to do the right thing.

-The right thing?

-You slept with a schoolgirl, Guto.

-Why would you do such a thing to me?

-I'm not sure I understand myself.

-I'm not sure I understand myself.

-

-Well, try!

-I want to know how a person can say

-they're in love one minute...

-..and the next minute,

-they open their trouser zip and...

-Did she open the zip or did you?

-We're not discussing this.

-It depends which trousers

-you were wearing.

-What about those designer trousers

-of yours with a button fly?

-Those trousers would have given you

-a moment to stop and think twice.

-So? Were they trousers

-with a button fly or a zip?

-I can't talk to you

-when you're like this.

-You know, don't you?

-Someone has told you about me.

-That's why you're here.

-Get back in the car, will you?

-Get back in the car, will you?

-

-Dad told you, didn't he?

-During one of your cosy golf chats?

-"I'm writing to let you know that...

-"..recent changes

-in my circumstances..."

-What are you doing?

-What are you doing?

-

-Nothing much.

-I was just catching up.

-You're starting early.

-Blame your father.

-I need it after the day I've had.

-No real harm has been done.

-There's nothing

-she can use against us.

-Just forget about it.

-It's for the best.

-I wish I could.

-I wish I could.

-

-You're home now.

-The children miss you so much.

-Only the children?

-How about switching that off?

-Let's spend some time together

-this evening.

-I want to send one email.

-Alright. I'm going for a bath.

-It's been a long day, hasn't it?

-"Resignation Letter"

-Leave them alone, Gwens.

-Why make their lives easy...

-..after they've treated you and him

-as if he doesn't exist?

-Mabli's paying my college fees.

-That was the deal, OK?

-She's buying you.

-No, she's not. It's my choice!

-I want to flee from this shithole,

-make something of myself.

-I don't have to be stuck

-with this bloody mistake!

-But look at him, Soph.

-But look at him, Soph.

-

-He's not staying, OK?

-And I don't want Guto or you...

-..or anyone else having

-a stupid fantasy of keeping him.

-If you want to help...

-..stop wittering on about it.

-Leave them alone.

-I want a good life, Gwens.

-I want the best life I can have.

-You want that for me too, don't you?

-There you are. An espresso Martini.

-I never knew there was such a thing.

-I never knew there was such a thing.

-

-You haven't lived.

-I see Terwyn's

-got his feet back under the table.

-We're trying to work it all out.

-We're trying to work it all out.

-

-Good.

-It makes sense, doesn't it?

-Yes, I think so.

-FRONT DOOR OPENS

-Gwenlli?

-How can you bear to marry those two?

-How can you bear to marry those two?

-

-I have to do it.

-Oh, right! Who says so? God?

-No, not God.

-No, not God.

-

-So who says so?

-The Church.

-The Church.

-

-That's a load of bollocks.

-They'll be miserable.

-We both know that.

-God definitely knows that.

-God definitely knows that.

-

-Forget about that now. Dad's back.

-Is he back

-because you love each other...

-..or to make us feel better?

-Oh, no, I know - he's back

-because you're married.

-And marriage is so bloody holy,

-isn't it?

-Don't drink too much before food.

-It slows the digestion

-I'll take my chances, thank you.

-Is Gwenlli coming down?

-She's in a pwdu.

-She's in a pwdu.

-

-What's pwdu?

-She is upset

-about the wedding next week.

-The dentist...

-..whose fiance was

-..unfaithful?

-We're not sure it was him. Was it?

-The baby came from somewhere.

-So your mother intends to marry

-this unfaithful man to this woman?

-She has to, apparently.

-It's her job.

-Your Church, it's very odd.

-Gay people who love each other,

-they can't get married in church...

-..but straight people

-who don't love each other...

-..they're fine.

-Oksana, whatever you're cooking

-smells delicious.

-It's nearly ready.

-I hope the guests aren't late.

-It's tricky keeping this warm

-without it drying out.

-Guests?

-I've invited a few people.

-Myf won't get the chance

-to see anyone before the op.

-The last supper?

-The last supper?

-

-Don't let her hear you call it that.

-It's a party. A celebration.

-It's a night off for you both.

-A chance to chill.

-KNOCK AT DOOR

-Who's coming?

-Who's coming?

-

-Only people you'd invite yourselves.

-Here she is, my favourite landlady.

-Come in.

-Hello. I almost didn't recognize

-you without the dressing gown.

-Less of your cheek.

-Hasn't the party started yet

-or does it need a kick start?

-I know it's hard to understand.

-I know it's hard to understand.

-

-Just don't turn up to the wedding.

-I'm not that sort of person.

-But you don't want to do it.

-I can think of hundreds

-of better ways to spend my time...

-..on the day before going

-into hospital, but...

-Don't go. Stay here with us.

-It's not up to me

-to make that decision.

-They have to see for themselves.

-They have to see for themselves.

-

-But they won't!

-They can't get away

-with treating Sophie like this.

-I know, dear. I know.

-Gwenlli Mair.

-My courageous...

-..sensitive...

-..moral and principled daughter.

-You'll do wonderful things

-with your life.

-People say I take after you.

-You're your own person too,

-don't forget.

-You don't have to allow the Church

-to control you.

-You tell them that.

-You tell them that.

-

-I'm serious.

-If they don't

-let you do what you want...

-You can do what you want, Mam.

-That's all you can do.

-Who's the mother here?

-Myf?! I've brought some bubbles.

-Come on!

-What is she doing here?

-Any excuse for bubbles!

-You'd better go then.

-Here she is, the guest of honour.

-Here she is, the guest of honour.

-

-Guest of honour?

-I suppose as it's your party,

-you choose what to wear.

-We're not having a party.

-We're not having a party.

-

-We are, so it seems.

-I'd better change my shirt

-since it's a special occasion.

-Whose idea was this?

-Dad. Dad?

-Dad.

-I'm not in the mood for this.

-Look at the state of me.

-You don't have any choice

-in the matter.

-It's time we did something for you.

-I'd better go and get changed.

-Do you think Gwenlli's right?

-I'm not setting a good example,

-am I?

-She's right.

-I don't want to marry them.

-She'll get over it.

-She feels for people.

-Don't you remember being like that?

-Suffering the pain of others?

-Men are different.

-Do you remember us falling in love?

-We couldn't

-keep our hands off each other.

-Being separated was painful.

-Being apart was torture.

-Things haven't changed that much,

-have they?

-I don't know about that.

-I feel the same, I still love you.

-Do you?

-Yes, I do.

-Sorry if I don't jump for joy

-or go weak at the knees...

-..or do whatever you think I should

-to express it...

-..but I'll always feel that way.

-Every time I see you, Myf.

-Right.

-"Right?"

-Is that all you can say?

-Is that all you can say?

-

-I wasn't expecting it.

-Listen, Myf...

-..I know.

-Know what?

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Who's there this time?

-I haven't even dried my hair yet.

-Mr Jarman. Come in, come in.

-Thank you for the invitation.

-Thank you for the invitation.

-

-Mr Jarman.

-I hope this is alright.

-I hope this is alright.

-

-It's great.

-It's been stored in the old settle

-for a several Christmases...

-..but I don't think port goes off,

-does it?

-No, vintage port lasts decades,

-Mr Jarman. Come through.

-Thank you.

-Why did you invite him?

-I went through your phone.

-You call him 15 times a day.

-I work with him.

-He's chuffed to get out.

-There's one more funeral on Saturday

-to invite you two here tonight.

-It would have looked strange

-looks promising, does it?

-There are more important matters

-to worry about.

-Stuff the research

-and the university.

-Aren't you married to your job?

-Well, I'm not.

-In fact, I've resigned.

-What?

-I thought they'd made a discovery.

-I thought they'd made a discovery.

-

-A discovery? Where?

-Do you have time off before the op?

-Do you have time off before the op?

-

-Not really, no.

-There's a wedding on Saturday.

-You can't resign, Terwyn.

-Oh, yes, Mabli Matthews's wedding.

-She's my dentist. She's a nice girl.

-What are you talking about?

-What are you talking about?

-

-You know Guto, don't you?

-Yes. He helped us buy the house.

-Do you remember that Owain Glyndwr

-thing on the radio? Who's Guto?

-Oh, that clown. He's a bighead.

-You'd think he was in London.

-What have you done, Terwyn?

-Guto? The one who knocked up Sophie?

-I'll put some Miles on.

-HE LAUGHS

-I propose a toast to Myfanwy.

-I propose a toast to Myfanwy.

-Not now, Oks.

-Don't call me Oks.

-It's like an animal.

-It's OK, Dad.

-In fact,

-I'd like to thank you, Oksana.

-No, sit down, please.

-You're always thanking everybody.

-Doing everything for everybody.

-I want to raise a glass

-to you, Myfanwy.

-Because you are kind, brave...

-You too.

-I love her to bits, Oksana.

-Your turn now, Eurig.

-Good luck, Myf.

-Come back safe.

-Come back safe.

-

-Hear, hear!

-I think it's obvious

-where I stand on the matter.

-Fair play, that was

-the worst dinner party ever.

-The idea of having a party

-before an op is daft anyway.

-Happy surgery.

-God, Cerian is hard work, isn't she?

-She's alright.

-I don't know what he sees in her.

-I suppose she's pretty.

-High-maintenance women always are.

-How pissed are you?

-Listen, don't laugh.

-Does my arm look alright to you?

-Do you expect it

-to fall off or something?

-I knew what to do

-to hold that glass...

-Owain Glyndwr's resting place"

-Dad, you'd better come upstairs!

-SHOWER

-DRUNKEN SINGING

-What are you doing, Mr Jarman?

-Will you be...?

-Will you be cleansed...

-What are you doing?

-..from all your impurity?

-Oh, sorry, TJ.

-It's late, Mr Jarman.

-Everyone's tired.

-Let's go downstairs so that you can

-sit down for a while.

-How many weeks along is Cerian,

-then?

-I heard her vomiting earlier.

-Four or five weeks.

-It's early days.

-Bloody hell! Another cosy chat, eh?

-Jarman gave me a soaking.

-Is he alright?

-Typical.

-You're concerned about him, not me.

-Cool head, Terwyn.

-Cool head, Terwyn.

-

-Don't you dare tell me what to do!

-What's up with you?

-Let's go inside.

-What's wrong with you now?

-Eurig hasn't done anything to you.

-Eurig hasn't done anything to you.

-

-Hasn't he?

-Well,

-does he know about your letter?

-Terwyn, no.

-I've been wondering

-what to do with it.

-If you don't want him to see it

-until you're dead...

-..I'd better put it in a bottle

-and throw it into the sea.

-It might find its way back to you

-when she's 95.

-She'll be completely gaga by then.

-She'll be completely gaga by then.

-

-Terwyn...

-She won't even remember

-the Myfanwy who loved you! Aargh!

-You've made your point.

-That's enough.

-"I just want to be honest

-with myself for once.

-"And the truth is,

-I love you, Eurig.

-"I've always loved you."

-Well, what do you

-have to say to that, Eurig?

-That's the worst thing a husband

-could ever hear his wife say.

-Other than saying

-she's about to die.

-Come on then, Eurig, we're all ears.

-Is there

-a last-minute chance for you two?

-It's time to leave, Eurig.

-It's time to leave, Eurig.

-

-I'll be there now.

-Liwsi's unwell. She has a high

-temperature. We have to go quickly!

-OK, love.

-Goodnight, everyone.

-Thanks for the party.

-Why are we stockpiling, Dad?

-Is the end of the world coming?

-Don't give away the baby.

-Give him to me.

-I'm his father.

-Do you mean it?

-Do you mean it?

-

-He's my child. Our child.

-They want to be together.

-They want to be together.

-

-She's my wife. I intend keeping her.

-But we can't stop them

-from loving each other.

-How will you explain

-a baby to everyone?

-We should raise him.

-Who the hell is she?

-Who the hell is she?

-

-No-one.

-..knows of any lawful impediment...

-..why these two may not be joined

-in matrimony, then declare it now.

-You're back.

-You're back.

-

-Of course. I'd never leave you.

-You should know that.
