-Oksana, your visa

-expires in less than a month.

-Three weeks, four days.

-Why don't we get married?

-We don't have to

-live this life any more, Eurig.

-Tell Cerian I called.

-Sheridan Milton Morgan.

-Sheridan Milton Morgan.

-

-I'll call her.

-Is it wrong that I bought it because

-it reminds me of her grandmother?

-I thought the world of Rita.

-Ania says you've written

-a fantastic piece about your mother.

-It needs a bit of work.

-A talented girl like yourself

-is too much of a threat for him.

-Sorry.

-Why did Sioned have to

-mess around with that schoolboy?

-Is there any doubt

-over what happened?

-Ask your friend Llinor.

-She was caught up in it.

-I let her down, Myf.

-I let both of them down.

-It says, "informal conversation".

-If I don't use the right words, I'll

-end up in a refugee holding centre.

-Maybe I need to start praying.

-SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE

-I'm Oksana.

-What's your name?

-Oh, Oksana. Sorry I'm late.

-I thought they'd be here by now.

-No English, Myfanwy. No English.

-I need to practise.

-Today, I speak Welsh.

-I need to make a good impression.

-Were you, um...?

-Were you...?

-Were you...?

-

-Myfanwy...

-..the "Border Agency" is coming.

-I need all the help I can get.

-BABY CRIES

-I don't know

-what was up with him last night.

-He woke up every hour wanting milk.

-I'll take him out for a walk.

-Fresh air is bound to knock him out.

-Cerian, you're worn out.

-Go back to bed

-and I'll take him out.

-No, you're not meant to overdo it.

-The physio told me it was important

-I keep fit, didn't he?

-Besides, I could do with a walk.

-Hey, hey, hey, come on now.

-Look,

-the two of us will be fine, OK?

-I know you will. You're his father.

-Right, then, little monkey...

-..let's see

-if Dad can get you to sleep.

-# Giddy-up, horsey, don't you stop #

-They said 10.00am. It's 10.15am.

-They're playing mind games.

-Do you think

-they're outside watching us?

-They want to make sure you're

-marrying for the right reasons.

-You have nothing to prove.

-You love Dad, and that's that.

-D'you think the Border Agency

-cares about love?

-I need to answer 132 questions.

-D'you think they're all about love?

-I don't know.

-Love's a complicated business.

-Good morning, I'm looking for...

-Oksana Perever...

-Oksana Pereverzeva.

-Nice to meet you.

-And this is Reverend Myfanwy Elfed.

-Dominic Filmore.

-Pleased to meet you.

-Reverend Myfanwy Elfed.

-Reverend Myfanwy Elfed.

-

-She's my future daughter-in-law.

-I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch...

-Oksana's showing how she's fully

-integrating into our community.

-Welsh is our language.

-Is there

-somewhere private we could talk?

-Of course, you can

-have the office. Take your time.

-Good luck.

-Look after her, will you?

-Hello. Cerian here.

-Cerian Richards.

-I've been thinking...

-Can we meet?

-Dear Gethin...

-..if you're reading this...

-..then it means that what

-I feared would happen has happened.

-OKSANA GIGGLES

-Mr Jarman. Is everything alright?

-Mr Jarman. Is everything alright?

-

-Is it alright if I practise?

-Yes. Oksana's in there, arranging

-stuff for her wedding, but carry on.

-It's because of Oksana

-that I'm here.

-She wants me to play all this

-Russian stuff at her wedding.

-These Russians

-do everything full pelt.

-How do they expect

-an old man like myself to keep up?

-I don't want to burden you.

-You don't have to do it.

-I'm doing it for you, Vicar.

-Only the best for Oksana...

-what's-her-name.

-Short Story Competition.

-MOBILE RINGS

-Hi, Meds. I'm OK.

-I'm not sure about today.

-I'm potching with this short story

-for the competition.

-Don't be like that.

-We'll do something soon, I promise.

-OK. Ta-ta.

-Do you want to meet to discuss this?

-I'm in my office today, marking.

-I don't blame you.

-Things couldn't have carried on

-without something awful happening.

-I knew it'd happen...

-..sooner or later.

-OK, well, er, thank you, Ms Perev...

-Pereverzeva.

-He's a bit of a stickler.

-He wants everything

-to be perfect for the wedding.

-There is going to be a wedding...?

-There is going to be a wedding...?

-

-Your future stepmother...

-..is a very convincing woman.

-But I will

-need to talk to Mr Thomas.

-Thank you, Vicar. Goodbye now.

-Bye.

-That went well.

-I offered him a year's free massage.

-Right, I'm off.

-The hen do is next, Myfanwy.

-OK?

-Yes.

-Bye.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-

-We're not open!

-Oh, crikey!

-It's you.

-It's you.

-

-A Cardi like you closed on Saturday?

-The blinkin' Border Agency bloke

-is calling by this morning.

-He's with Oksana now, as it happens.

-God knows what she's telling him.

-It's just routine.

-I hope so. Besides, we're

-going on the stag this afternoon.

-Yes.

-I wanted to talk to you about that.

-The plans have fallen through.

-The archery place

-was double-booked with another stag.

-It was Oksana who insisted

-I have a stag. I'm not too fussed.

-What's the point getting wed

-if you don't have a stag?

-I'll have

-sorted something out by lunchtime.

-MOBILE RINGS

-I've been waiting for this call.

-Fingers crossed he's got

-good news for me. Peredur.

-Sorry, we're not...

-Sorry, we're not...

-

-Mr Thomas?

-Yes.

-Come on. You must be worn out.

-Go to sleep, will you?

-It's much better

-than being awake, I promise you.

-And I should know,

-I was asleep for nine months!

-Thanks for calling by so soon.

-I'm glad

-you're willing to reconsider.

-He used to spend more time here

-than at home.

-My father too, before him.

-That's the life I've always known.

-The men in my life disappearing

-to go and deal with the dead.

-Don't get sentimental. There's

-no room for sentiment in business.

-We'd keep the name, of course.

-The company

-will still be called Eurig Richards.

-But they wouldn't get Eurig.

-No, but I promise you we'd retain

-the same standard and vision.

-I'm still not sure. It's a big step.

-A family business.

-It'll change our lives.

-I'd say

-that's just what you need, Cerian.

-Am I wrong?

-I haven't told him yet.

-It's your business, Cerian.

-Don't forget that.

-ORGAN MUSIC

-Why would anyone pretend

-they wanted to get married?

-It's hard enough keeping a marriage

-going even if it was your choice.

-Did I make the right choice?

-Or do you give us

-too much choice in life, God?

-You throw new people at us

-all the time to see what we'll do.

-Hiya, Myf.

-I don't know how he can sleep

-through all this noise.

-The little rascal's

-been up all night, that's why.

-Poor you.

-I can't complain.

-It's Cerian who has to feed him.

-I'm in the spare room again,

-so I sleep like a pig.

-You men have it so easy.

-D'you think so?

-Some things never change.

-Come off it.

-I can't drink with all these

-tablets I'm on. I need something.

-It's an odd feeling, coming back

-after something like that.

-Your life is back to front.

-Everything that was once so familiar

-is now unfamiliar.

-D'you know what...?

-It really is odd.

-I sometimes think

-I've forgotten who I am.

-But I still know

-exactly who you are.

-Mr Jarman?

-What's wrong, Mr Jarman?

-A key is sticking on the organ.

-Ah, Mr Richards is here.

-Don't tell me my time's up.

-No, no, you're alright.

-I just popped in to say hello,

-that's all. How are you?

-I'll be better

-once I get this organ fixed.

-The organ has to be in excellent

-condition for the wedding.

-Mr Jarman? Your shoes.

-Shoes? Oh, my everyday shoes!

-So, do you want to go for a walk

-around the churchyard?

-That's the best offer

-I've had all day.

-Come on, then.

-Gwenlli. How are you?

-I can see you some other time.

-I don't want to disturb you

-on a Saturday.

-Yes, since I'm

-enjoying myself so much here!

-Taking a break from all these

-to read your work...

-..is a welcome treat.

-So you think

-it's good enough to submit.

-Yes, indeed,

-and I think it has a good chance.

-A few errors, but nothing major.

-I've made some notes.

-You can read them later.

-Look, we both know that's

-not the real reason you're here.

-Um...

-..isn't it?

-Come to the house for a coffee.

-Rhiannon's not there.

-Here she is,

-Lucinda, as I like to call her.

-Right, then.

-It's a 24-seater.

-The seats are comfy

-and easy to clean...

-..which is a godsend

-in this business.

-If someone soils himself,

-you can remove the seats.

-There are plenty of handrails

-and speakers for the entertainment.

-OPERA MUSIC

-There's room

-for two wheelchairs and a ramp.

-Just watch you don't

-open the door too quickly.

-Some of them are like whippets.

-Some of them are like whippets.

-It's not that kind of trip.

-TURNS OFF STEREO

-TURNS OFF STEREO

-Hard of hearing or octogenarians?

-Just a group of blokes.

-Can I have a go at driving it?

-Can I have a go at driving it?

-

-Goodness, no, mate!

-Listen here, sonny Jim,

-Lucinda's going nowhere without me.

-I come with the bus.

-I'm going

-on a hen party this afternoon.

-Oh, yes, Terwyn mentioned something.

-Your father and Oksana?

-Where are you going, then?

-Paintballing.

-Paintballing? You?

-It wouldn't have been

-my first choice as a pacifist.

-You never know, you might enjoy it.

-You never know, you might enjoy it.

-

-I doubt that.

-Those blinking Hungarians

-are coming. It'll be messy.

-Sioned Trefor.

-You said you remember it happening.

-Yes.

-Crikey, it was him, wasn't it?

-Who?

-Who?

-

-The bloke I saw earlier.

-I knew I was a sinner...

-..wanting you like that.

-But I couldn't stop myself.

-You were so young.

-So perfect.

-The world hadn't touched you yet.

-I think I just wanted

-a little bit of that perfection.

-I wanted to steal it.

-And keep it for myself.

-There was no malice in you,

-was there?

-I put the malice in you.

-I'm sorry for doing that.

-I should've just left you alone.

-There's nothing like

-seeing all these graves...

-..to make you appreciate

-that you're still alive.

-I know. We're very lucky, aren't we?

-Do you think it was him

-who brought me back?

-Perhaps.

-Did you pray for me?

-I did more than that.

-I kept you alive...

-..in here.

-I talked to you and imagined

-that I saw you around the place.

-I was never too far away from you.

-I understand

-why you'd be angry with me...

-..because I started it all.

-Nothing could've happened

-if I hadn't started it.

-Isn't that so?

-Aaarrgh!

-Yes!

-Any questions?

-We don't have to shoot

-if we don't want to, do we?

-We can still play the game

-and dodge the bullets.

-You have to play it properly, Myf.

-Do you think

-pacifism ever solved anything?

-You've got to fight, love.

-Fight for what you want.

-I never dodged a bullet.

-I takes it head-on.

-Be courageous, don't falter,

-innit, love?

-OK, off you go!

-Here we are. Stop here.

-The groom will be here now.

-HONKS HORN

-Crikey! Alright, that's enough.

-Sorry.

-They're usually hard of hearing.

-You have to give it all you've got

-to get their attention.

-Champagne. Very nice.

-Champagne. Very nice.

-

-Hey, this is my bottle.

-I'm not sharing it with anyone.

-What's that smell?

-There's another over there.

-Your turn.

-Nice one, Myf.

-Nice one, Myf.

-

-What now?

-Stay where you are

-and let them move around.

-We can retaliate in a minute.

-Did you speak to Gethin afterwards?

-Did you speak to Gethin afterwards?

-

-Not now, Myf, please.

-I just wanted you to know

-that he's settled down.

-He seems happier in himself.

-Glad to hear it.

-HORN

-Is that bloke crazy? I've

-just put Hywel back down for a nap.

-Sorry.

-Sorry.

-

-Are you sure this is a good idea?

-I can't drink, Cerian.

-It's just a little outing,

-nothing too crazy.

-Some of the blokes are over 60.

-OK, well,

-I'll come and fetch you later, then.

-OK, dear.

-See you when I see you, alright?

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

-

-Don't worry, I'll look after him.

-Llinor?

-Llinor?!

-Aaargh!

-I'd prefer to sit in the front.

-These roads are too winding.

-Can we stop soon?

-Where are we going, Terwyn?

-We're not far from the brewery now.

-Brewery? I'm not a beer bloke.

-It's a historical brewery.

-It's been there since 1839.

-Crikey, Terwyn,

-is this a history trip?

-There's a bar there, they serve

-all kinds... sweet mead...

-I hate that stuff.

-I tried it in Brittany.

-It went straight through me.

-Alright, Mr Jarman.

-Are you going the right way?

-We shouldn't have taken that turn.

-GRINDS GEARS

-What's that noise?

-GIGGLING

-The alternator belt's gone.

-The alternator belt's gone.

-

-Can you fix it?

-Do I look like a mechanic to you?

-Phone the breakdown service.

-Tell them to bring more supplies.

-The nursing home's too tight

-to pay for breakdown cover.

-It'll be alright now.

-I'll phone Bryony.

-She can pick us all up

-once she's finished her rounds.

-Excuse me.

-It's that coffee I drank earlier.

-Hey, good stag, Terwyn.

-Gethin?

-Did anyone see you leave?

-Did anyone see you leave?

-

-No, I don't think so.

-I had a free lesson, anyway.

-What's wrong?

-I don't think...

-I don't think

-we should do this any more.

-D'you see, Myf? At this point,

-he's still free, isn't he?

-He's still so perfect, so innocent.

-As innocent as the day he was born.

-He's at that threshold now.

-He doesn't have to cross it.

-He can just walk away.

-He can just walk away.

-

-Who are you talking to?

-Myfanwy.

-You don't know her yet.

-You're acting oddly, Sioned, OK?

-You're not yourself.

-I don't think

-I can handle this any more.

-Don't leave me. I love you, Geth.

-Just leave me alone, OK?

-Leave me alone.

-He's going.

-He left you that day.

-SHE LAUGHS

-How can you be so sure?

-Follow him. Follow him, Myf.

-See where he's going.

-OK. OK.

-Bryony won't be long.

-She's on her way.

-With supplies, I hope.

-Things seemed to be improving

-between you and Cerian earlier.

-Yes.

-I'm starting to remember

-more and more.

-Have you given the business

-any more thought?

-D'you know what, Terwyn?

-I can't believe I was that bloke.

-Handling bodies, burying people.

-Yuck, no!

-It makes my skin crawl. I can't

-believe anyone wants to do that job.

-I used to think that.

-But since being in your shoes...

-..I think I understand...

-..how important it is.

-What about you and Myf, then?

-Is there still a chance?

-Cerian said

-the kids are with you now.

-It was hard at first...

-..but I think

-I'm getting used to it.

-Being a single father.

-To tell you the truth, the

-other night at that conference...

-Here she is! Bryony to the rescue!

-D'you see, Myf? I went and left her.

-That's the only thing I did wrong.

-You weren't with her.

-You didn't kill her.

-But, then...

-..I went back.

-Gethin?

-No!

-Sioned? No!

-Oh, Sioni! What happened?

-Who did this to you? Come on.

-Please, Sioni, wake up.

-Help me!

-Someone!

-D'you see, Myf? I couldn't

-have phoned the police, could I?

-Who would've believed me?

-I touched everything

-without thinking.

-I just wanted to save her.

-I touched everything.

-Everything.

-No, Gethin.

-No!

-I know I made the bleeding worse

-by removing the knife.

-I made everything worse.

-Everything.

-Aaargh!

-Is everything alright?

-Are you alright, love? Who's this?

-D'you know him?

-D'you know him?

-

-Where am I?

-What's happened?

-Don't worry, I'll call Security.

-Jake, I've got a woman down here.

-It looks like a head injury.

-Who is this bloke?

-Do you know him?

-You're really here.

-That's what happened,

-I'm telling the truth.

-I'm telling the truth.

-I'm telling the truth.

-

-OK, mate, she's clearly distressed.

-Just back off.

-Oi! You!

-I'm glad you had a good time.

-Drink that. It'll do you good.

-They had fun, didn't they?

-Oksana's lethal with a gun.

-Yay!

-Are you sure you're OK?

-Should you see a doctor?

-It's only a scratch.

-But with your history...

-But with your history...

-

-I'm fine, honestly.

-Don't make a fuss in front of

-Dad and Terwyn. Where are they?

-I thought they were

-meant to arrive before us.

-They're probably pissed somewhere.

-The instructor said that some bloke

-was with you, and that he'd run off.

-Oh, no, don't tell me it was Gethin.

-Did he do this to you?

-He did nothing to me.

-All he did was talk to me...

-..and try to explain things to me.

-Which is more

-than you've tried to do.

-What are you hiding from me?

-At last! I'm dying of thirst.

-We're early. We could've

-still called in the brewery.

-You and your brewery!

-I want a glass of wine.

-Come on, lads.

-Are you coming?

-Are you coming?

-

-I'd better phone Cerian, I think.

-I can't drink, anyway.

-Come on, I'll buy you a lemonade.

-Right. Let's go.

-About five years ago

-I decorated the spare room.

-I moved things around.

-And that's when I found it.

-This letter.

-From Sioned to Gethin.

-From Sioned to Gethin.

-

-Yes, and...?

-She obviously knew something

-was going to happen to her.

-She told him not to blame himself,

-and that she forgave him.

-How did she know

-he was going to kill her?

-Let's have another in here!

-There she is! Glad to see

-my wife-to-be is still in one piece.

-I love your champagne breath!

-He's back on his feet, then.

-Are you OK?

-Yes. It's history, now.

-Oh, God, tired!

-Oh, God, tired!

-

-A drink.

-Finish telling me about Gethin.

-Finish telling me about Gethin.

-

-Now's not the time, Myf, OK?

-Let's join them...

-..instead of sitting here

-like two grandmothers.

-Come on!

-My grandmother was in the Russian

-armed forces. We're Estonian now.

-But we always remember

-our Russian roots. Na Zdorovie!

-Na Zdorovie!

-Na Zdorovie!

-

-Iechyd da!

-Here we go.

-Time for some wine tasting.

-Haven't you had enough, Dad?

-Haven't you had enough, Dad?

-

-It's my stag. Right then, everyone.

-No need to rush because

-in order to taste fine wine...

-..you have to take your time.

-You must drink it very slowly.

-Good luck with that, Elfed.

-I'll be just over here.

-Lucky we didn't reach the brewery

-otherwise we'd all be legless.

-Aren't they already?

-Yes, well, fair play.

-Do you remember my stag?

-You didn't see me for three days.

-Sort of.

-We went to Ireland

-dressed as Owain Glyndwr.

-Yes, I remember.

-You missed the ferry home.

-I thought

-I'd have to cancel the wedding...

-..but you turned up, thank goodness.

-Yes, well,

-we're all still here, aren't we?

-That's what counts.

-Thanks, Elfed.

-Cheers!

-It turns my stomach

-just watching them.

-I've had enough.

-Fancy one of these with me?

-I shouldn't.

-Alright, suit yourself.

-I could do with a walk, though.

-To clear my head.

-Come on, then.

-How d'you say...

-..cheers in Welsh?

-The Garden of Eden!

-"A man had a fig tree...

-"..planted in his vineyard.

-"And he came seeking..."

-That's it, that's it.

-"And he came seeking fruit on it...

-"..and found none."

-Are you feeling OK?

-Are you feeling OK?

-

-I'm alright.

-Although I can't get anywhere

-in a hurry, as you can see.

-That's how I was in the beginning.

-It takes the body a while

-to remember what to do.

-But it's nice, you know...

-..not having to rush everywhere.

-That's how things were before.

-You and I were always racing

-from one place to the next.

-We barely had a chance

-to really live.

-Yes, I know.

-Oh. How are you?

-You're a bit early, aren't you?

-We've only just arrived.

-We've only just arrived.

-

-Eurig shouldn't stay out too long.

-He's only just out of hospital.

-I hope he's not drinking.

-No, he's behaving himself.

-Where is he, then?

-Well, you know Eurig.

-He's probably having a fag.

-He shouldn't be doing that, either.

-Give him a break, Cerian.

-He's been through a lot, hasn't he?

-Let me buy you a drink.

-A ginger beer or something.

-I haven't told you

-about the conference yet.

-I don't want to leave the children

-with Chloe for too long.

-Alright.

-I suppose one won't harm anyone.

-Who shot you, then?

-Oh, this?

-A long story.

-Deja vu.

-Deja vu.

-

-Yes, I know.

-I was with you, wasn't I?

-At the hospital...

-..when you knocked your head.

-Yes.

-You see,

-because of things like that...

-..I remember so many things about

-you and me in different situations.

-That's why I think everything

-was jumbled up in my head.

-I thought things were different

-between you and me.

-I thought we were...

-Sorry, Myf.

-It doesn't matter.

-Don't be sorry.

-The truth is...

-..you were always there...

-..at the most important times.

-We were with each other a lot,

-weren't we?

-A lot.

-A lot.

-

-But we won't be any more, will we?

-No. I have a new job, for a start.

-I'm not even sure

-I want to do my job any more.

-Don't you?

-It's our world, Myf.

-Yours and mine.

-It's gone, hasn't it?

-"For the past three years,

-I have come seeking fruit...

-Mr Jarman?

-Mr Jarman?

-

-"..on this fig tree and find none."

-Mr Jarman?

-Mr Jarman?

-

-Mr Jarman?

-What are you doing here?

-Oh, Vicar,

-if the tree bears no fruit...

-..you have to cut it down.

-I think it's time...

-I hope you find peace, Myf.
