-Pink's not your colour, Jesus.

-Previously

-Is Mam an alcoholic, Tad-cu?

-She had a turn, that's all.

-She's overworked.

-You have what's known as

-arteriovenous malformation.

-Are you having headaches?

-Or seeing things?

-You need surgery

-to stem the bleeding. A craniotomy.

-Aargh!

-Aargh!

-

-Is it getting worse?

-Why do you ask?

-Why do you ask?

-

-You're behaving differently.

-I want this.

-I've always wanted it.

-No-one's perfect. We all wonder how

-it'd be with someone else, don't we?

-Do we?

-We found this. It looks like

-a time capsule or something.

-Have you seen

-the letter that was here?

-If the letter turns up,

-just throw it away.

-Don't read it.

-Listen, I have this condition,

-and I'm not thinking straight.

-"The truth is, I love you, Eurig.

-I've always loved you."

-Something's been between them

-for years.

-I want you to go, Terwyn, so that

-we can work out what we want.

-I know what I want.

-If I had the surgery,

-I could be dead next week.

-Would you bury me?

-Myf...

-You've had a brain haemorrhage.

-Don't let the Church control you.

-They're the most loyal people

-out there.

-But we can't stop them

-from loving each other, Terwyn.

-They want to be together.

-Stay!

-Don't forget

-the offers in store today.

-The town's chaplain joins us today,

-so be sure to call by...

-..to say hello

-and share your worries.

-OK, OK.

-I'm very grateful

-that you brought me back.

-But why did you stick me between

-the white wine and the yogurts?

-I'm a half-price vicar now.

-You might as well

-give me away for nothing.

-Don't forget, you can also win

-a holiday to the Maldives...

-..if you buy

-any three bottles of white wine.

-Come on! Bessie and Maggie, come on!

-Back here, Cecil! Back here.

-Welcome to you all...

-..to Cromlech Treffwrnes.

-I'll start by explaining

-what exactly a cromlech is.

-The Welsh word is a compound word...

-..a combination of 'crom',

-meaning a spherical shape...

-..and 'llech', the stone which

-distinguishes it, hence crom...lech.

-Can you jazz it up a bit?

-They don't get out often.

-Poor dabs.

-They give me more jobs now.

-I don't think

-it's because the manager fancies me.

-I mean, he does fancy me, obvs!

-This is where

-the community convened...

-..and where they came

-to dig graves for their friends.

-There's no need to mention graves.

-The more I look at him,

-the more I think...

-..he's okay looking, you know.

-Well, for someone who's quite old.

-Well, for someone who's quite old.

-

-How old's this manager, Casi?

-He's got to be in his thirties.

-I mean, he's got a mortgage.

-I mean, he's got a mortgage.

-

-Be careful, that's all.

-It's not always a good idea

-to start a relationship at work.

-The hearse should be with you

-by now, Mrs Morris. What time is it?

-Give him another five minutes.

-I'll phone him now

-and phone you back, OK?

-Everything'll be alright,

-you'll see.

-Zinc's meant to be good for it.

-Zinc's meant to be good for it.

-

-Thanks, Vicar.

-Aisle 4, next to the dog food.

-Mr Jarman, you're here today again.

-Crikey,

-I can't keep up with you, Vicar.

-I thought

-you were meant to be at the mart.

-The farmers were more interested

-in the cattle, to be honest.

-You should be

-back at the church full time.

-We don't know which vicar we'll get

-from one week to the next.

-My memory isn't what it used to be.

-You know that.

-All those long services.

-I'm out in the community now.

-I'm taking the church to the people.

-That's what

-a chaplain's meant to do.

-If you say so.

-They're not still sending you...

-..to that other place,

-are they, Vicar?

-Yes, well, at least they've no

-choice but to listen to me in there.

-Surely she can trust me by now.

-Then again, she's been trained

-to doubt everyone and everything.

-Oh. That's for the candles, not...

-I'm not going to burn the place down

-with one small lighter.

-Welcome back, Myfanwy.

-Do you think it's right for a vicar

-to mix with people like that?

-Maybe it's them who need me most.

-What do you think?

-Garlic or paprika?

-Your place is in the church, Vicar,

-not out in the community.

-You make it sound

-as if the Church has locked you up.

-We all need

-a new challenge sometimes.

-Jesus mixed with

-all kinds of people.

-Paprika it is, then.

-Is that a good idea?

-Maybe I'll win a holiday.

-What a thought!

-You don't want people to think

-you've turned to the bottle...

-..because of your marriage troubles.

-I'll call again tomorrow. I'm sure

-you'll be glad of the company.

-Is there a toilet around here?

-Cecil has prostate trouble.

-No.

-Crikey!

-We're in the middle of a field.

-Why doesn't he use

-nature's resources?

-Listen, once I let one of them

-run off, I'll lose the lot of them.

-There's a garage down the road.

-I haven't finished my presentation.

-It's OK. They've got the gist of it.

-Come on, everyone, back on the bus.

-Bessie, Maggie.

-Cecil, put a bin bag on the seat

-just in case. Come quickly.

-A quick word

-before he comes in, Myfanwy.

-As you know, they've confirmed

-he's being released tomorrow.

-He's come on a lot

-over the past few weeks.

-Thanks to you.

-He's taken to you. It helps when

-you can speak to someone in Welsh.

-I understand that he

-might be attending your church.

-We've discussed it,

-but I'm no longer the vicar there.

-It's up to the parish council

-if Gethin's serious.

-Gethin's serious

-about everything he does.

-I'm sure we'll find a way.

-It won't be easy.

-Moving back to the village goes

-against our professional advice.

-Many will be unhappy that he's free.

-It's important that everyone's

-prepared for that.

-Hiya, Gethin. Nice to see you again.

-Myf! Are you alright?

-Myf! Are you alright?

-

-It's taking shape here now.

-It's nowhere near ready

-and we're meant to open in a week.

-Why on earth

-did I come out of retirement?

-Retirement is for old people

-who've given up on life.

-I estimate

-you have around 20 years left.

-You want to spend 20 years watching

-cricket? Good morning, Myfanwy.

-Good morning. Is everything OK?

-Good morning. Is everything OK?

-

-Couldn't be better.

-Fancy a cuppa?

-Fancy a cuppa?

-

-No, thanks. I'm on my way home.

-You know that pork dish Oksana

-makes... How much paprika do I use?

-She's asking about the pork.

-She's asking about the pork.

-

-You asked last week.

-Did I?

-Did I?

-

-And the week before, too.

-Sorry, Dad. My memory's not

-what it used to be, you know that.

-Do you remember that you

-hate cooking? Terwyn did it all.

-I remember that much, Dad.

-DOORBELL

-A little something.

-A little something.

-

-You didn't have to, Terwyn.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-Does he have a name yet?

-I haven't had time

-to think about it.

-It's important to choose

-the right name, isn't it?

-Come in.

-Hey, Myf.

-Hey, Myf.

-

-Eurig.

-I wasn't sure you'd come.

-I wasn't sure you'd come.

-

-I always do, don't I?

-Yes, well, things aren't so easy

-now you've a new-born baby at home.

-Hey, everyone needs a break

-from a baby sometimes.

-Besides, I wanted to see you.

-COUGHS

-Too much paprika!

-You don't have to eat it. Leave it.

-Sorry, Myf, I'm not very hungry.

-One of these and I'll be fine.

-Cerian doesn't let me smoke

-in the house any more.

-Now the truth's coming out.

-That's why you come here.

-I saw a photo of the baby

-on Gwenlli's phone.

-He's the image of you.

-Poor dab. Come over to see him.

-You'll have to

-stop coming here now, Eur.

-Who says?

-I almost died, Myf, so did you.

-We came back for a reason,

-didn't we?

-I'm not letting you go again.

-What choice do we have?

-Come outside with me to smoke this.

-I'll be there now.

-Hiya, Mam.

-Hiya, Mam.

-

-Hi, love. How was school?

-I'm not at school, Mam,

-I'm at college.

-Sixth form, remember?

-Is someone here?

-Is someone here?

-

-No, it's for you.

-But it's not all that good,

-to be honest.

-Have you been smoking?

-Don't be daft.

-Don't be daft.

-

-It smells of fags in here.

-What are these, then?

-Just now and again, OK, Gwenlli?

-No-one's perfect.

-Come on, let me make you a sandwich.

-You forget how small they are,

-don't you?

-You forget how noisy they are.

-Are you getting enough help?

-I don't want to depend on anyone.

-I have to learn to fend for myself.

-Because that's how

-it's going to be.

-We're both in the same boat,

-aren't we?

-More or less.

-Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

-It's alright, Terwyn. You're right.

-We are... in a way.

-PHONE RINGS

-It hasn't stopped ringing today.

-It hasn't stopped ringing today.

-

-Do you want me to answer it?

-No, it's alright. I know who it is.

-Mrs Morris.

-Her husband's funeral is today.

-Jim was meant to do it, but I've had

-nothing but trouble from him lately.

-Let me deal with it.

-Yes, alright. Answer it, then.

-Anything not to hear Eurig's voice

-on that blinking machine.

-Hello?

-Do you want another sandwich?

-Do you want another sandwich?

-

-No, I'm OK, I'd better go home.

-It's so odd hearing you say that.

-It's so odd hearing you say that.

-

-We're only up the road, Mam.

-If I'd kept my job, you'd have

-been able to stay in the vicarage.

-Stop giving yourself guilt trips.

-Stop giving yourself guilt trips.

-

-Yes, I know. I can't help it.

-It's alright, Mam. We're OK.

-What would I do without you?

-Hold on.

-Gwern's forgotten something.

-What kind of person

-puts a lock on his lunchbox?

-I hope nothing's rotting in there.

-Mam, you do know that Eurig's not...

-Yes, dear,

-I just choose to forget...

-..from time to time.

-Ta-ta, then, Mam.

-Ta-ta, then, Mam.

-

-Ta-ta.

-Mam!

-Mam!

-

-Remember to talk to Gwern.

-He's at a difficult age.

-He needs advice from his big sister.

-As if he'd listen to me.

-I love the two of you so much.

-OK, OK, Mam, understood. Ta-ta.

-Yes, yes, as I said,

-I'm very sorry to hear that.

-Don't cry now, Mrs... Morris.

-Could we rearrange? Sometimes,

-these things happen for a reason.

-You know, you don't always

-have to opt for a burial.

-During the Iron Age, the Celts...

-Hello. It's Cerian Richards here.

-I'm so sorry that this has happened,

-Mrs Morris.

-I'll get hold of Jim

-and phone you back right away.

-I realize he's let you down badly.

-I'll be off.

-Yes, yes, I understand.

-This wouldn't have happened

-if Eurig was around.

-It's been a tough couple of months,

-Mrs Morris.

-Hiya, Gwens. Dinner's almost ready.

-I don't want much,

-I had tea with Mam.

-You should've said

-before I made all this food.

-How was she?

-How was she?

-

-OK-ish.

-We can't waste food these days.

-I'm not made of money.

-Chill out, Dad,

-I'll have it for lunch tomorrow.

-Shut that down, Gwern.

-I'm in the middle of something.

-I'm in the middle of something.

-

-I'm sure it can wait.

-Is everything OK at school, sweetie?

-Is everything OK at school, sweetie?

-

-Dad, Gwenlli's acting weird.

-I'm just showing an interest.

-Gwern, move this stuff, please.

-It's alright. Don't mention it.

-It's a privilege and an honour

-to be in your company.

-Smoking's bad for you, you know.

-It's the only thing

-that brings you back to me.

-I don't want to forget you.

-So, is that him? Is he your crook?

-Don't call him that.

-They're people, like you and me.

-Gethin Ffrancon.

-He was only 18 when they

-arrested him, a year older...

-..than Gwenlli is now.

-He's still someone's son.

-You're going to save him, are you?

-I don't think you can save them all.

-You can listen to them,

-lend them a ear.

-Watch yourself, Myf.

-I'll carry it around with me

-forever, you know.

-What I did.

-Sometimes, something has

-so much hold on you...

-..all you can do is think about it.

-You try to work it out in your head,

-imagine another version of events.

-My life could've been so different.

-It can still be, Gethin.

-I know what it's like

-to have to start from the beginning.

-I'll help you.

-You brought me back for a reason,

-didn't you?

-If it wasn't to be in your church...

-..then it was to do good elsewhere.

-I'll try my best for you.

-But don't ask me

-to accept what you did to Eurig.

-She's not answering her phone.

-She said she'd be here by eight.

-I have to be out of here

-in half an hour.

-I'm old enough

-to be left alone, Dad.

-Can you wait here

-until your mother turns up?

-I've an important seminar.

-I've an important seminar.

-

-Legally, you can leave me.

-Can I?

-Can I?

-

-It says here on the NSPCC website.

-Why are you on the NSPCC website?

-We have to go.

-OK. OK.

-Gwern, ask your mother to text me...

-..when she arrives.

-See you tonight.

-Ta-ta.

-Dad!

-Why do we put flowers on graves?

-We pull them out of the ground

-only to let them rot on our heads.

-Oh, hi, Myf. Glad you came.

-I don't know why I agreed to this.

-I don't know why I agreed to this.

-

-Come in, you'll enjoy it.

-We're just about to start.

-We're a small group,

-so no need to be shy.

-I'm sure they'd tell you

-that they're all here...

-..because they're looking for

-something to help them.

-Art therapy's different

-from other forms of therapy.

-A more creative way

-of working things out.

-Do you want to say something, Myf,

-about why you're here?

-Well, for those of you

-who don't know me...

-..my head's a bit...

-..um, well...

-..my head's not quite right.

-I had brain surgery, you see,

-a few months ago.

-But I got through it and I'm OK...

-..but every morning I wake up and it

-takes me a while to work things out.

-Who I am, where I'm meant to be.

-Who I am, where I'm meant to be.

-

-Right, thanks, Myf.

-Vicars, eh! There's no stopping them

-once they start.

-Right, well,

-you know where everything is.

-Let those colours

-express your feelings. Go for it.

-So, this week, we're taking a look

-at Gwenlli's work.

-Will you read

-the first page for us, please?

-I think it always helps

-to hear the author's voice.

-Um, OK. Alright.

-It's OK. Take your time.

-"The minute

-Mared woke up after surgery...

-"..she knew everything had changed.

-"Her smile was still the same,

-her eyes were the same...

-"..but the world wasn't the same.

-"She felt those around her

-were strangers to her...

-"..and that she

-was a stranger to them.

-"Their lives changed...

-"..because she, who was once

-the centre of their world...

-"..could no longer support them.

-"During the ensuing weeks,

-she felt her family...

-"..gradually drifting away from her,

-like planets around the sun.

-"Always turning around her...

-"..but yet so far away from her.

-"That's when she began searching

-for those who weren't there.

-"Those who came to visit her...

-"..to break up her loneliness,

-to fill her world anew.

-"Other times

-she forgot about her own fate...

-"..and gravitated towards those

-who needed her.

-"Those who held their secrets

-deep in their conscience...

-"..and urged them

-to become part of her world.

-"'Rebuilding the brain

-is a mammoth task'...

-"..said the doctor to her.

-"'It's like rebuilding a kingdom.

-"'A kingdom with a history

-and your existence.'"

-Thanks, Gwenlli.

-We'll leave it there.

-I take it you've all read the rest.

-Who wants to start the discussion?

-Medyr? What about you?

-I noticed you writing notes there.

-Well, to be honest,

-I found it hard to follow.

-Why's that?

-Why's that?

-

-Has this woman died or what?

-No.

-No.

-

-She's not a very solid character.

-I can't really empathize with her.

-I can't really empathize with her.

-

-You can't empathize with anyone.

-I like it. It's different.

-It's not a story we've heard before.

-All the business about the planets

-and the sun was wishy-washy.

-Why doesn't she use normal language?

-Like you? That's why

-you're resitting your A levels!

-Alright, alright,

-let's back to the work.

-It's a striking image. They're still

-a family, but they're all separated.

-I haven't seen

-such a chatty class in a while.

-Anything that creates a discussion

-like this is worth listening to.

-There's originality here,

-isn't there?

-Something fresh, new, exciting.

-Well done, Gwenlli.

-You didn't know I was so talented.

-You didn't know I was so talented.

-

-Eurig. What a surprise.

-I can't just forget about him.

-I know that, but what about you?

-You've overcome major brain surgery.

-You need fun, you shouldn't

-look back all the time.

-That's what today

-was meant to be all about.

-A simple bit of painting.

-Look at this drawing.

-You didn't use one colour, Myf.

-Not a single one.

-Not a single one.

-

-Is a bit of colour what I need?

-No, not a bit,

-all the colours of the rainbow.

-Stop dressing as if

-you're about to go to a funeral.

-But you might need a bit of help.

-PHONE RINGS

-Hiya, Ifan.

-He's out already, then.

-I hadn't expected it today.

-Yes, why not? Yes, I can meet you.

-Do we have to do it there?

-DOORBELL

-Ooh! Sorry, Mr Jarman.

-I wasn't expecting to see you.

-I wasn't expecting to see you.

-

-Sorry, Mrs Richards.

-I'd like a quick word with you.

-I'd better come in. It's awkward.

-I want a word about Jim.

-Come in, Mr Jarman.

-That's it for today. Remember

-the launch of my novel next week.

-It'd be nice to see you all there.

-She just wants us there

-as a rent-a-crowd.

-There'll be free wine.

-There'll be free wine.

-

-It'll be like cats' pee.

-They know jack shit about wine.

-And you think you do.

-I've got standards. Are you

-going with someone to this launch?

-We're all going, aren't we?

-I'll take you, if you want.

-Er, yeah. I suppose.

-Did you say he fell into the grave?

-Did you say he fell into the grave?

-

-He fell flat on his head.

-He was legless.

-He stank of whisky

-getting out of the hearse.

-It hasn't been long

-since Cynthia left him.

-Have you ever wondered why

-Cynthia left him?

-Eurig thought the world of Jim.

-Well, if he carries on like this,

-you'll have no company left.

-I hate to say it, Mrs Richards,

-but it's true.

-OK, I'll talk to him...

-Don't get up, I'll let myself out.

-It's nice you have a son now.

-Someone to look after you!

-Good day to you.

-Why did I agree to meet him here?

-So that I can look legit, is it?

-A proper vicar.

-But you can't be a vicar

-without a church.

-Weddings and funerals

-are still going on.

-Life still goes on...

-..it's just I'm not

-at the centre of it any more.

-I thought this place

-would fall apart without me.

-TJ. Tell me, where did you go?

-Hello, Myf.

-I'm out.

-Sorry. This is no better

-than what you'd get in prison.

-Thinking about walking into a cafe

-and ordering something...

-..is going to feel so odd.

-I remember going on a pilgrimage

-to this island once.

-It had no electricity,

-no proper toilets.

-Not much of anything,

-to tell you the truth.

-I got used to it pretty quickly.

-I wanted to stay there forever.

-Two days back on the mainland...

-..with all the mod cons and

-I'd forgotten all about the island.

-People adjust quickly, you see.

-To anything.

-What about everyone else? Will they

-get used to having me back here?

-I've every faith that they will.

-Elfed. Thanks for phoning.

-Where is he?

-Where is he?

-

-He's out the back with Oksana.

-He's looking at the osteo suite. He

-had a lift with his friend's mother.

-She'll have forgotten, that's all.

-Try this. Brewed locally.

-Rosemary beer.

-Sounds disgusting.

-OK, we'll ask your dad now.

-Are you alright, Gwern?

-I would like to ask you a question.

-Pretend you are my customer.

-You have just purchased your food.

-Is it odd if I now approach you

-and ask if you would like massage?

-It would entirely depend...

-..if I was more in need

-of nourishment or relaxation.

-OK. So, I should assess if

-my customer is hungry or stressed?

-Well, yes, I suppose so.

-Which one are you?

-Hungry or stressed?

-A bit of both.

-Thanks, Terwyn.

-That's very helpful.

-Now I will give you

-Oksana's special candle massage.

-You're going to massage me

-with a candle!

-Hot candle wax is very sensuous.

-I'm more of

-a cold wax sort of person, really.

-How do you know

-if someone's a Christian?

-If he wants to come to church.

-How do you know he believes

-what he's supposed to believe.

-Not everyone believes

-in the same way.

-It's something very personal.

-Some doubt, some question,

-and I'm always ready to discuss...

-..because these things aren't

-always easy to work out by yourself.

-I want to be somewhere

-where someone understands...

-..what it's like to lose someone.

-Someone who meant everything to you.

-And you still want to believe

-they're here in some way...

-..because

-that's the only hope you've got.

-Can you understand that, Myfanwy?

-Yes. I can fully understand that.

-You have to forget

-who you were, Gethin.

-Remember who you are now.

-That's the problem.

-I don't know who I am any more.

-I still feel like a school kid.

-Gwern.

-Gwern.

-

-What?

-Sorry, I have to go. I'm late.

-Shit. My phone's flat again.

-Shit. My phone's flat again.

-

-Will I see you again, Myfanwy?

-Of course.

-Is it OK if I stay here a while?

-Of course it is.

-Stay as long as you like.

-You're always welcome here.

-Hiya, dear. Did you get my message?

-I thought we were having dinner with

-Mam. Why are you in a dressing gown?

-You won't believe it. I've just had

-a massage. I feel like a new man.

-D'you want a drink?

-D'you want a drink?

-

-She's not 18 yet.

-Myf was out on the pop at 14.

-Myf was out on the pop at 14.

-

-I'll try it, then.

-I'm so sorry. I forgot.

-Listen, Cynthia, all I'm saying

-is for you to have a word with him.

-Tell him he has to...

-Yes. Yes, I know that,

-and I am grateful but...

-Two funerals have come in today.

-Hello?

-Cynthia? Cynthia?

-Hello?

-I think it's best

-they come home with me.

-Are you going to drive them home

-in your slippers?

-I'm not trying to be difficult, Myf.

-I'm just thinking

-what's best for them.

-I don't want to confuse them again.

-I don't want to confuse them again.

-

-I'm their mother.

-Listen, Terwyn...

-..I thought my memory was improving.

-I really did.

-I take it those aren't for me.

-I'm going to lay them on the grave.

-Oh, yes. Of course.

-I'd better go now

-while I still remember.

-Do you want to have a drink

-with us first?

-Mam? I don't like this.

-Just leave it, then.

-We'll have something later.

-Look at the time.

-We have to go, anyway.

-I'll buy chips on the way home.

-I'll buy chips on the way home.

-

-And chicken nuggets?

-Can I take my ballet shoes?

-Can I take my ballet shoes?

-

-And chicken nuggets. Wear this.

-Right, off we go.

-I'd better get rid of these

-before they die.

-Yes. You go.

-We're fine here, aren't we?

-Yes.

-Everyone's happy.

-Bye, dear.

-Hey, you've just had a free massage.

-Now you're drinking the place dry.

-We'll be bankrupt before we start!

-Come on, then, Liws.

-Liws?

-Take this, please.

-Liws, come back here, please.

-Here we are, then.

-Here we are.

-I've thought of a name at last.

-What do you think of Hywel?

-After Dad.

-Hywel Eurig Richards.

-It suits him...

-..I think.

-Happy birthday, Mam.

-This is one date I'll never forget.

-They said

-you opened your eyes earlier.

-That's a start, isn't it?

-DOOR SLAMS

-Hello?

-Eurig?

-How can he have gone...

-..if I keep seeing him everywhere?

-Bring Eurig back or let him go, God!

-But don't leave him where he is now.

-Where he is now

-is worse than any prison!

-You should put a lock on that door.

-How did it go with the vicar?

-Fine.

-Fine.

-

-She can help you a lot.

-That man killed a young woman...

-..in cold blood.

-People like that

-never change, vicar.

-On what planet do you think

-everything'll be OK for me?

-He was so perfect, wasn't he?

-Never did anything wrong.

-Unlike me.

-When the right one comes along,

-you'll know.

-You won't have to question it,

-you'll just feel it.

-How much longer are we going

-to pretend he's not going to die?

-I just want to be with you.

-Just once.
