Pennod 3 Parch

-On what planet do you think

-everything'll be alright for me?

-I've a business to run,

-a baby who won't stop crying...

-..and a husband who's...

-How did it go with the vicar?

-Fine.

-Fine.

-

-She'll be a lot of help.

-That lad killed a young woman...

-..in cold blood.

-People like that don't change.

-You'll have to handle dead bodies,

-Terwyn.

-People who've died.

-Do you understand that?

-See you tomorrow?

-See you tomorrow?

-

-The right one will turn up one day.

-You'll know it. You won't have to

-question it, you'll just feel it.

-How much longer are we going to

-pretend that he's not going to die?

-Or are we going to leave him

-lying there forever?

-"Lord, now you are letting

-your servant depart in peace...

-"..according to your word.

-"For my eyes have seen...

-"..your salvation.

-"Glory be to the Father,

-the Son and the Holy Spirit.

-"As it was in the beginning

-is now...

-"..and ever shall be,

-world without end."

-Amen.

-Thanks, Myf.

-At least it's done now.

-When do you intend to...?

-Once everyone's seen him.

-So there's no chance

-that his condition could change.

-They said

-he could be like this for years.

-The outcome

-would still be the same in the end.

-You don't need to come here again.

-It might be best

-if you said goodbye now.

-See you when I see you, Eur.

-Can I come with you to the morgue?

-Can I come with you to the morgue?

-

-No.

-Why do you

-have to shave to do Eurig's job?

-To look smart.

-To look smart.

-

-Why look smart for dead people?

-Put your school uniform on, Gwern.

-I don't want to be late.

-Terwyn said

-he's taking this funeral for you.

-It's only a small one. There's

-not much organizing involved.

-He's saving my skin, believe you me.

-Right, well..

-..thank you for the lift.

-There are worse men out there,

-you know, Myf.

-They can't all do what he does.

-Looking after the children

-by himself.

-He's not by himself.

-He's not by himself.

-

-You know what I mean.

-Don't throw everything away

-if you don't have to.

-Let me know when...

-Let me know when...

-

-Fine. I will.

-Thanks. Ta-ta, Myf.

-Do you want a lift, Gwens?

-No, I have a free lesson. I'm

-staying home to work on this story.

-What does an embalmer do?

-What does an embalmer do?

-

-I'll explain in the car. Come on.

-Ta-ta.

-Did you know

-a body can still break wind...

-..long after a person's died?

-Thanks for that.

-Something to look forward to.

-Ta-ta, Gwens.

-The Undertaker's Daughter

-See you when I see you.

-Is that the last thing

-I'm going to say to him? Really?

-Very profound, Myfanwy.

-Mr Jarman, you scared me.

-How are you?

-I've been better

-but I've also been worse.

-Listen,

-I'm sorry about the other day.

-This Gethin Ffrancon business...

-You might be right.

-I shouldn't be

-discussing it with you.

-After all,

-you're not running things here now.

-It's not a case of

-who's running things.

-That depends how

-the parish council feels about it.

-Will you be attending the meeting?

-Will you be attending the meeting?

-

-I'm not meant to attend meetings.

-I'm no longer the parish vicar.

-But I could perhaps set the record

-straight about Gethin. When is it?

-I can't remember.

-My memory's not what it used to be.

-Don't worry,

-I'll explain to them what's what.

-Don't you worry about a thing.

-Can't you

-have a word with him, please?

-He adores you.

-You know that, don't you?

-Eurig.

-This place doesn't change a bit.

-You're back in your suit.

-I have to look presentable

-for the big day.

-Myf...

-..please don't tell me

-that Terwyn's going to bury me.

-What are you doing, Terwyn?

-I'm putting a marker down

-for Mr Walter's grave.

-What?

-What?

-

-I'm helping Cerian out temporarily.

-Good grief! That's my plot.

-Everyone knows that.

-I'm only following orders. It's

-meant to be somewhere around here.

-Can I put him here, then?

-Goodness me, no!

-I don't want to lie beside him.

-Why?

-Well, John and I didn't get on.

-It'd be awkward to lie beside him.

-But you'll be dead.

-Shove him over there

-by the Davieses.

-They won't care.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-You left this in my car.

-I wondered where it'd got to.

-I wondered where it'd got to.

-

-A bit racy, isn't it?

-There are literary parts, too.

-I skipped those bits. A bit boring.

-What are you up to, then?

-Writing. What else?

-Writing. What else?

-

-Swot.

-D'you want to come in?

-I thought you'd never ask.

-See you when I see you.

-I expected better than that

-from a vicar.

-I didn't want to believe

-it'd be the last time I saw you.

-That's the truth.

-What did you want to say to me,

-then?

-The same thing I say to him.

-If letting you go is his plan...

-..then I have to accept it.

-Accepting that having known you

-has been enough in itself.

-That having...

-..loved you...

-..and lost you...

-..is part of my life's journey.

-No need to go overboard, Myf.

-DOOR OPENS

-Hello, Myf.

-So, you live with your father.

-Until they work things out.

-Parents always tell their children

-they'll work things out...

-..so it takes

-the edge off the divorce.

-It's complicated, OK?

-Mam was ill.

-She's still getting over it.

-I don't think she knows herself

-what she wants.

-And your father does.

-Dad just wants to be with her.

-That's all he's ever wanted.

-I can't see anything on this plan

-about Mr Jarman's grave.

-Everyone knows about

-Mr Jarman's grave.

-How?

-How?

-

-It's one of those things you know.

-Just like you know not to sit

-in Mrs Mansell Jones's seat...

-..and not to drink

-communion wine after midnight.

-And what happens

-if you drink it after midnight?

-You turn into a gremlin.

-Perhaps I should start thinking

-about where I'm going to be buried.

-He has a point there, you know.

-A man and wife

-are usually buried together.

-You're not going to

-keep some space for him, are you?

-Are you?

-Are you?

-

-Don't think about it now.

-I'd say

-you've got years left in you.

-It's OK for some, isn't it?

-My wife's decided my time's up.

-Hey... is he wearing my suit?

-Myf? Are you OK?

-Yes.

-I was just thinking.

-Never mind what happens, we can

-still be buried together, can't we?

-Can we?

-We're still a family, aren't we?

-Yes.

-And there's me hoping

-you'd come in with me.

-Oh, well.

-Pity.

-TEXT ALERT

-Myf, where are you? I phoned

-to see how you are after the party.

-Don't tell me you're still in bed.

-I thought I'd pick up a few pastries

-and come over for brunch.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-I hope you brought me

-a cinnamon swirl.

-Oh. Gethin.

-Sorry, you're expecting someone.

-Is it OK I called?

-We hadn't arranged to meet, had we?

-The church was empty.

-The church was empty.

-

-I don't live there, Gethin.

-How did you find me?

-Someone happened to mention it.

-I just wanted some advice, really.

-About finding work,

-but I can go if...

-This wasn't a good idea.

-Sorry, I shouldn't have come.

-You're here now

-and the kettle's just boiled.

-I haven't got

-a cinnamon swirl, sorry.

-I think I can live without it.

-Terwyn...

-..grow up, will you?

-A corpse can't do anything to you.

-Milk and sugar?

-Sorry, I've got no sugar. I can't

-offer you something I don't have.

-I take it black.

-I take it black.

-

-That's what I like.

-Simple people, no frills.

-Sorry I'm a bit slow today.

-I was out on a call last night.

-It was a long night.

-That's why I haven't had breakfast.

-I hate hospital food.

-It's tasteless.

-I always like looking

-at other people's photos, too.

-You get an idea of a person's life.

-Llinor's a friend. She's an artist.

-If you're interested,

-she has an exhibition next week.

-Sounds interesting.

-I was wondering if you'd mind

-writing me a reference.

-I'm sure a vicar's word

-goes far in this place.

-What kind of work do you want?

-What kind of work do you want?

-

-I don't know.

-I did a bit of cooking while I was

-in jail. I'm handy with a knife.

-I'm happy to do anything.

-Right, well, drink that and

-I'll type up something quickly...

-..since you're here.

-Here we are then, Mr Walter.

-In safely.

-I don't suppose you know

-where I'm meant to take you now.

-Thanks.

-I appreciate this.

-Right, I'd better be going.

-See you soon. In church, perhaps.

-If I can be of help,

-any voluntary work or whatever...

-..let me know.

-You don't have to be afraid of me.

-Do you think I'd let you into

-my home if I were afraid of you?

-Bye.

-Ta-ta, Gethin.

-You write bleak stuff, don't you?

-You write bleak stuff, don't you?

-

-I haven't finished it yet!

-I don't have much chance

-with you hanging around.

-Are you kicking me out already?

-Are you kicking me out already?

-

-No. You can drink that first.

-You're different from other girls.

-Shut up.

-Shut up.

-

-Serious. You're complicated.

-I like that.

-Drink your tea, will you?

-Dad!

-Dad!

-

-Sorry. I forgot my list.

-I don't know why I'm apologizing.

-This is my house.

-Who are you?

-Who are you?

-

-Medyr. I'm in college with Gwenlli.

-Nice to meet you, Mr Daniels.

-Dr Daniels. I thought

-you were working from home today.

-I am working from home.

-I am working from home.

-

-It doesn't look like it from here.

-Chill out, please.

-Chill out, please.

-

-I'd better go.

-Yes, good idea.

-Sorry about that.

-Sorry about that.

-

-No probs. Will I see you later?

-Yes. I'll phone you. Ta-ta.

-Have you got a cinnamon swirl?

-Alright for some,

-having pastries for breakfast.

-That's what comes from being free.

-You set your own rules.

-What are you doing here?

-What are you doing here?

-

-Good behaviour.

-Good boy.

-I was always a good boy,

-if you remember rightly, Llinor.

-Sorry, or should I still call you

-Miss Allan?

-You're back.

-I knew you'd come back.

-It's not time for you to go yet.

-What do you think of him, then?

-You can see how I fell in love

-with him, how I lost my head.

-Then again,

-I lost more than my head, didn't I?

-Sioned.

-Sioned.

-

-Be careful, Myf.

-Ah, John! How are you?

-Good morning, Mr Wright.

-Good morning.

-Come on, Mr Humphreys, there's

-a lot to be said for being punctual.

-The early bird catches the worm.

-Hiya, Dad. The big day has arrived.

-Ready?

-Ready?

-

-As ready as we'll ever be.

-Elfie lives in fools' paradise. We

-can do with more hands in kitchen.

-Why didn't you say? I can help you.

-Why didn't you say? I can help you.

-

-We're not that desperate.

-She got the sack from

-every waitressing job she ever had.

-Not me, I just know of someone

-who's looking.

-Do you, now?

-There we go, Mr Walter.

-As good as new.

-So, how long was he in clink?

-15 years.

-15 years.

-

-Phew!

-You know

-how people around here gossip.

-He was young, Dad.

-He's lost half his life.

-He's been punished enough.

-Can't you hide him here,

-out the back?

-I don't know, Myf.

-It's hard enough

-starting a new business as it is.

-Jarman will be out with placards.

-Shit!

-I'm supposed to be in a meeting.

-Can I tell Gethin to call by?

-Come through, Mrs Walter.

-Take as much time as you need.

-There's no rush at all.

-I'll be just out here

-if you need me.

-MOBILE RINGS

-Hello?

-Yes, Cerian Richards speaking.

-What's wrong? Mrs Walter?

-Mrs Walter?

-That's not my John.

-Mrs Walter...

-..often they don't look

-like themselves after they've died.

-Is it the side parting

-that's the problem?

-I can easily change that.

-That's not my John.

-My John was completely bald.

-I can do without this today.

-I'm so sorry. I could've sworn

-it was John Walter I collected.

-I checked the label several times.

-I checked the label several times.

-

-The surname comes first.

-If you see the name John Walter...

-..it means you have Walter John,

-and that's who's in the car!

-OK, OK, we'll just change them back.

-It's not as easy as that,

-I've been looking for him...

-..and John Walter is on his way

-to the crem to be burnt to a cinder!

-Thank you.

-Hello, how are you?

-Have you finished already? I thought

-you'd take another half an hour.

-The time flew. Things are much

-easier when everyone's in agreement.

-Is there something I should know?

-Don't you worry.

-As you said, your place

-is out in the community now.

-Can't we just talk about it, please?

-Not now. I can't go to

-the deli opening dressed like this.

-Gethin?

-I hear you're looking for work.

-Er, yes, I am.

-Take a seat.

-Coffee?

-Coffee?

-

-If there's one going.

-The chaplain

-put in a good word for you.

-Do you know her well, then?

-Do you know her well, then?

-

-You could say that.

-I'm her father.

-Right, then,

-tell me something about yourself.

-Are you sure you're ready to work?

-I'm not afraid of hard work.

-I'm not afraid of prejudice.

-But I'm afraid of being idle.

-I'm afraid of being invisible.

-I'm afraid of feeling

-as if I'm still in that place.

-And I always say too much. Sorry!

-Don't be.

-Just don't let me down, OK?

-Where's the clutch?

-Where's the clutch?

-

-It's an automatic.

-I've never driven an automatic.

-I've never driven an automatic.

-

-We only have half an hour!

-I'll figure it out.

-GRINDS GEARS

-Out! I'll drive.

-Just give me a minute

-to get used to it.

-If we don't

-get to the crem in time...

-..John Walter will be dust and I'll

-have no business left, so shift!

-To Sioned.

-Only you and I know.

-But know what, Myfanwy?

-You're not here.

-You're not real.

-Seeing Eurig is one thing.

-I already remember him, but her?

-I've never known her.

-Please don't tell me I'm ill again.

-You don't have to be ill to see me.

-The imagination's like a train,

-isn't it?

-Who knows where it'll take us?

-You just can't help yourself

-from thinking about me.

-You want to know what happened.

-You have to

-if you want to accept what he did.

-Unlike everyone else...

-..you've been trained, haven't you?

-To accept.

-You have to forgive.

-You have to forgive.

-

-Do you think I've forgiven him?

-He scares you, doesn't he?

-Don't worry, only he and I know.

-Well? Did you sort it?

-Well? Did you sort it?

-

-I went round the back.

-The crem boys swapped them around.

-We'd better get out of here.

-If they see us out here, we'll be

-done for. Put your foot down!

-Welcome!

-Technically,

-you're our first customer.

-Congratulations, Dad.

-I'm so proud of you.

-Few start again and

-get on with life like you've done.

-Make more of this, OK?

-You're doing an excellent job.

-I didn't have much choice, did I?

-Hello again, Myfanwy.

-I was just telling Dad

-how lucky he is.

-He's lucky

-that we have more help in kitchen.

-We need 400 canapes.

-He works very fast,

-this boy you send us.

-Gethin? I didn't send him, I just...

-He's very good at julienning

-vegetables. Best I've seen.

-I googled what he did.

-Sounds like crime of passion to me.

-He's a very sensitive boy.

-I like him.

-I think

-you're a big hit here already.

-Thanks to you.

-You're welcome.

-What's wrong?

-Nothing.

-Mr Jarman. How are you?

-A little prosecco?

-I can't stand fizz.

-It gives me wind.

-Give him the elderflower, Elfie.

-Very good for the digestion.

-Ooh, elderflower! A friend of mine

-made elderflower medicine years ago.

-It kept colds at bay.

-We shouldn't give him alcohol, Dad.

-You know how he is.

-It's sugar and flowers, mostly.

-You want him

-to enjoy himself, don't you?

-Vicar?

-I've brought you

-a copy of the petition.

-What petition?

-Many members of the council

-and their partners have signed it...

-..along with neighbours, too.

-It's important

-to listen to the people.

-They don't want Gethin and his sort

-in their church.

-Half of these don't

-even come to church, Mr Jarman.

-But they know the kind of church

-they want.

-Now's not the time to discuss this.

-If you'll excuse me,

-I have people to see.

-Of course. It's important that

-the town chaplain mixes with people.

-Yes, take the church to people.

-Gethin? Gethin!

-Where is he? Ah, Geth. We need

-more of those small filo pastries.

-Crikey, that's where it went!

-I'd better not leave it lying around

-or Oksana will spend my pension!

-Top up the glasses, Gwern,

-there's a good boy.

-This'll settle your nerves.

-Good grief! They were

-about to stick him in the fire.

-I hope there's no CCTV there.

-Look, the most important thing

-is that no damage was done.

-You sorted it out.

-Yes, with a lot of help.

-No-one's ever seen a hearse going

-that fast along a dual carriageway!

-I haven't driven a hearse since

-I used to help my father years ago.

-I think I'll have one of those.

-MOBILE RINGS

-Leave it.

-They can wait.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

-

-Yes, cheers!

-Thanks.

-Gwenlli!

-I didn't know you worked here.

-I don't. Tad-cu owns the place.

-Oh. Well, it's about time

-we had a good cafe around here.

-Is Medyr not with you?

-No. I didn't invite him.

-Oh, right.

-I loved the book, by the way.

-Sorry to be sycophantic.

-It was incredible.

-Sorry.

-Sorry.

-

-No need to apologize.

-I thought you'd take no notice

-of a random student.

-Don't be so formal. And you're not

-a random student, Gwenlli.

-Not by a long way.

-Sorry. I'd better clear it up.

-What happened to my cinnamon swirls?

-Something cropped up, sorry.

-Someone more important than me.

-Someone more important than me.

-

-My life doesn't revolve around you.

-You'd better slow down with that.

-Are you alright?

-I need another.

-Are you going to help me or

-are you just going to stand there?

-You've been in jail, haven't you?

-That doesn't affect my ability

-to chop veg, does it?

-Lots of people break the law

-and no-one notices.

-Only a tiny percentage of guilty

-people are punished for things.

-What a head full of wisdom you have!

-Do you think

-you can do a bit of work now?

-Sometimes, you have to

-break the law, don't you?

-Life is very unfair otherwise.

-Eurig would've laughed

-if he'd seen us.

-He'd have cursed me.

-No, he wouldn't have.

-You did your best.

-He would've understood

-why you're trying to help.

-Top-up?

-Top-up?

-

-No, not for me.

-I'm still feeding.

-I have to pick up Liws

-from ballet soon.

-Talking of that, I promised

-to go to the deli opening.

-I'd better show my face.

-I'll be a better funeral director

-for you tomorrow.

-I promise.

-Will you go and see Eurig,

-please, Terwyn?

-On your way back to town.

-Almost everyone's seen him now...

-..apart from you.

-It's not in my nature

-to turn people away.

-Do you understand?

-I'm thinking what's best for us all.

-What's best for us all is to be more

-tolerant of all kinds of people.

-Thou shalt not kill, Myfanwy.

-Once you've done that,

-who's to say you won't do it again?

-He was a nice lad...

-..from a decent family.

-How do you explain that?

-Who knows what happened?

-We weren't there.

-I was there when the police came.

-I remember it

-as if it were yesterday.

-My head's spinning after this stuff.

-It's full of sugar.

-Sit down, I'll get you a coffee.

-Yes, please.

-You weren't expecting that,

-were you, Myf?

-You've never thought people

-in this place know more than you.

-But you're happy enough to let

-a murderer into your family's lives.

-What sort of woman are you?

-I'm here to see Eurig.

-Eurig Richards?

-Are you related?

-Are you related?

-

-No, but I'm a friend.

-A good friend. Best friend.

-Right, well, I'll call someone

-to have a word with you now, Mr...?

-Doctor... Daniels.

-Not a proper one, like your lot.

-Is something wrong?

-Gwern.

-What are you doing here, dear?

-Hiya, Mam.

-Gethin was showing me how to...

-what's it called again?

-Un julienne in French.

-To julienne in English.

-Jiwlieno in Welsh!

-You can help Tad-cu

-out the front if you want.

-Llinor?

-I'll go and see if she's...

-You carry on.

-You're not leaving, are you?

-What's wrong?

-This isn't my scene, Myf.

-Too many old faces.

-Have I done something?

-You have no idea.

-Hey, Myf!

-Make a speech for the opening.

-I haven't prepared anything.

-I haven't prepared anything.

-

-I hate doing things like this.

-You're the town chaplain, you

-do things like this all the time.

-Welcome to you all

-to Oksana's Deli...

-..also owned by Elfed, my father.

-It's nice to see so many of you

-here - both old and new faces.

-This is a brand new venture

-and a brand new beginning.

-It's a chance

-to look ahead to the future.

-What will they do when they find out

-there's an ex-con in the kitchen?

-We should all respect anyone

-who shows enterprise...

-..as Dad and Oksana have done.

-They've injected new blood

-into the high street.

-I hope everyone

-will give them a chance.

-Thank you.

-Hear, hear! Eat, drink and be merry!

-You like giving people

-second chances, don't you?

-But people like me

-don't get a second chance, do we?

-We're stuck where we are.

-Myf, can I have a word?

-Eurig. It's Eurig, Myf.

-He's...

-..alright.

-What?

-Eurig. He's woken up.

-He hasn't spoken.

-He doesn't appear to know me.

-Ready, Vicar?

-Just about.

-Just about.

-

-These are amazing.

-I think you should include this.

-Who is she?

-How are you, Eurig?

-Do you remember me?

-Hey.

-Gethin, Myf. Gethin Ffrancon.

-You have to stay away from him.

-Your daughter isn't much younger

-than I was when he did what he did.
