-Deep Waters

-Brynarfor, July 1921

-Who are the parents of this child?

-We are...

-..Ifan and Esther Jenkins.

-Will the congregation please stand?

-I baptise thee,

-Ifan Enoc Jenkins...

-..in the name of the Father,

-the Son and the Holy Spirit.

-And thank you Lord,

-for being with us this morning...

-..on this wonderful occasion.

-May you continue to give strength

-to baby Ifan and his parents...

-..throughout their lives.

-This we ask in the name

-of your son, Jesus Christ.

-May the grace

-of our Lord Jesus Christ...

-.and the love of God, and the

-fellowship of the Holy Spirit...

-..be with us all evermore. Amen.

-Sara! Come along!

-Are you coming with us, Martha?

-Are you coming with us, Martha?

-

-No, you go on home.

-I shan't be long.

-Don't forget the photographer

-is coming before lunch.

-Rhys...

-How are you both this morning?

-How are you both this morning?

-

-Fine, thank you.

-It's a big day for you

-at Ffynnon Oer.

-Well, I'd best get going.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-We can't blame him.

-Of course he's to blame!

-He'll excommunicate Sara, won't he?

-Jane, you must cheer up.

-I know today isn't easy for you

-but things will get better.

-But there'll always be something.

-Today, he was baptised.

-What about birthdays

-and Christmas?

-My worries have only begun.

-Rhys! Please don't be like this.

-How would you feel

-if it were your sister?

-I understand...

-I understand...

-

-Do you?

-I understand...

-

-Do you?

-

-Yes.

-She's to be excommunicated.

-And your nice young minister

-will be the one to do it.

-As if being pregnant

-weren't enough.

-Enduring Dat's temper

-and Mam's tears.

-It's terrible.

-If you feel so strongly about it...

-Yes?

-Why don't you do something?

-Or say something.

-Why don't you speak to him?

-After all,

-you think the world of him.

-I'm right, aren't I?

-< Morgan, come here!

-Stand next to your father here.

-Martha, at last! Come here.

-Stand in the centre, please.

-< Ready? Keep still.

-I hope you don't mind

-my bringing along some wine.

-On your conscience be it.

-Daniel?

-I admire you for keeping

-the temperance pledge.

-Nothing could be easier.

-Maybe so.

-I cannot claim to be a teetotaller

-but I do advocate moderation.

-The baby was being baptised

-back in Brynarfor this morning.

-Good health to young Ifan,

-and long may he live.

-Are you going tomorrow night?

-Where to?

-To the fellowship meeting.

-To Sara Jones' expulsion.

-< That's for your father and I

-to decide.

-So you

-are

-going?

-And you'll vote for her expulsion.

-And you'll vote for her expulsion.

-

-Can we discuss this later?

-No! I want to discuss it now.

-I'm worried about it.

-The unfairness, the hypocrisy...

-Martha! You heard your mother.

-We'll discuss it later.

-You don't like

-the word 'hypocrisy'.

-No-one likes to admit

-they're hypocrites.

-We're a family of hypocrites.

-Right, that's enough! >

-We're prepared to deceive the world

-about baby Ifan.

-Supporting Jane

-while condemning Sara!

-Right, my girl! You don't speak

-like that in this house! Out!

-Rhys!

-Is Sara in?

-I'd like to speak to her.

-She doesn't want to see anyone.

-Martha...

-..she's in the stable.

-I have to choose one.

-Only one of them

-is allowed to live.

-The others will be drowned.

-Your baby brother's baptism

-this morning was nice.

-But it wasn't easy for me.

-Seeing everyone so happy,

-everyone doting on young Ifan.

-His parents, you,

-Morgan and Marged...

-The whole village.

-He'll be dealt a fair hand in life.

-But what about my child?

-No-one wants him, but me.

-How can I bring him up alone?

-We'll discuss it another time.

-In the meantime, dream

-of all the money you'll pocket...

-..once the cafe's opened.

-I'll have nightmares

-about empty pockets.

-Oh, ye of little faith.

-We need to decide on a name, too.

-I quite like 'Croeso Cafe' myself.

-Jane, dear.

-I'll take you in the motorcar.

-No, I'd rather walk, thank you.

-What's to become

-of today's young girls, Isaac?

-They're becoming very independent!

-You be careful

-when you go out alone, Jane.

-And don't speak to strange men.

-This is yours, Robert.

-No-one in our house wants it.

-Harley Street, please.

-Are you alright?

-Yes... you go.

-Are you sure?

-Come on, Gwen.

-We're off to the park.

-Let's not forget Jemimah!

-Rest while we're out.

-Hello? I've brought you some food.

-What's wrong?

-Gwen and I are going to the park.

-We won't be long.

-Lizzie dear...

-You know what's wrong, don't you?

-Yes, I think so.

-Here's some home-made lemonade

-for you, Mr Owen.

-Thank you, Leisa.

-Martha! How are you?

-Are you coming in?

-Would you like some lemonade?

-No, thank you.

-I want to ask you something.

-Yes?

-It doesn't matter.

-Yes, it does matter.

-It's important.

-What will be the subject

-of tonight's sermon?

-Forgiveness? Tolerance?

-Or sin?

-< But Martha's right.

-It's hypocrisy.

-< We have no choice.

-Of course we do.

-I don't, as a chapel deacon.

-And as chapel members,

-we've no choice.

-Anyway, we've voted for the same

-in the past.

-But things are different this time.

-But things are different this time.

-

-Which is why we must conform.

-I don't understand...

-I don't understand...

-

-Listen...

-If we don't vote

-to excommunicate Sara Tynrhelyg...

-..people will ask why.

-What are you two doing inside

-on such a fine day? Out you go.

-Take the baby with you.

-It's all so unfair!

-Sara's being punished,

-and the father gets off scot-free!

-But she won't name him.

-Fair play to her! That's their

-business, no-one else's.

-I'm disappointed.

-Disappointed in people

-who call themselves Christians.

-And that includes me.

-I thought you were different.

-When you first came here,

-people called you 'radical'.

-I suppose the older, narrow-minded

-ones didn't like that. >

-They were scared.

-But they needn't have been.

-Lemonade quenches the thirst

-after a heated argument.

-I'm not arguing. I'm preaching!

-Very eloquently, too.

-No...

-I know exactly what I want to say,

-but it's difficult.

-I'm not accustomed

-to speaking my mind. >

-Martha...

-..I'm here to listen to you.

-Sara has all my sympathy.

-Sympathy?

-The girl needs more than that.

-Who's going to support her?

-Her family and the chapel.

-Her family and the chapel.

-

-They've already turned their backs.

-No, she'll have every help.

-How will excommunicating her help?

-Expulsion is a symbol to emphasise

-the need to maintain standards.

-Maintain standards?

-Punishing naughty girls, you mean.

-Be honest.

-It's not a punishment.

-It's not a punishment.

-

-What is it, then? A warning?

-Watch out you wicked girls,

-this could happen to you.

-You've misunderstood. We don't

-think in terms of punishment.

-Our aim is to offer spiritual help.

-Hallelujah!

-When Sara's in chapel tomorrow,

-will she get spiritual help?

-Martha dear,

-it's a complicated issue.

-Martha dear,

-it's a complicated issue.

-

-Too complicated for a girl like me.

-Don't put words in my mouth.

-Tell me how you feel - as a man,

-not as a minister.

-The whole thing

-makes me sick but...

-That's the order of things.

-And there's a purpose to it.

-The order of things! I'm beginning

-to get tired of hearing it.

-Only hypocrites support

-the old order.

-Me and everyone who raises his hand

-tomorrow night?

-Yes.

-Poor Sara.

-It didn't have to happen.

-Don't start on family planning!

-It's true. Nobody need have a baby

-they don't want.

-Marie Stopes says...

-Morgan, had Marie Stopes

-had her way, Ifan wouldn't be here.

-Anyway, you're no expert -

-you're not in Harley Street, yet!

-I can live in hope.

-Thank you for listening.

-And thank you for the sermon.

-Martha...

-I want to say something. I've been

-wanting to say it for a long time.

-Face to face...

-I like you very much,

-for more than one reason.

-I look forward to seeing you

-in the meetings.

-And I hope you feel the same.

-Am I right?

-I have too much on my mind

-at the moment.

-888

-Jane dear, you've enough

-on your mind today...

-..without playing nursemaid to me.

-You're the important one, now.

-And the baby.

-You should see a doctor.

-Then, I'm a fine one to talk.

-You don't want it, do you?

-Life is hard enough already,

-without another baby.

-What are we going to do?

-Let's get out of this place

-and have some fresh air.

-I'd rather stay here.

-I won't let you. It's a fine day,

-we're going for a walk.

-Where shall we go?

-If we were back in Brynarfor,

-where would we go on a fine day?

-To Gilfach beach.

-Where we're going isn't quite

-the same, but we can pretend.

-# BRASS BAND #

-It's nice and warm!

-Hello.

-Did you recognise her?

-Did you recognise her?

-

-No, who is she?

-Mary Evans from Aberaeron.

-She's older than you and John.

-Mary Evans, Sea View?

-I didn't recognise her.

-She came here three years ago,

-to work as a seamstress.

-Then she became a maid to that lady

-- lucky isn't she?

-You think so? Tending on snobs

-and dressing up in stupid clothes?

-It's heaven compared

-to working in the Dairy.

-All she does is tend on that lady.

-And take her out for walks.

-There's another one.

-They earn twice as much as I get.

-They travel in carriages

-and shop in Bond Street.

-If that's what you want to do.

-If that's what you want to do.

-

-It's what I'm going to do.

-And you'll land on your feet.

-As dear cousin Dan keeps telling me

-- it's everyone for himself.

-Sara! How are you?

-I didn't see you there.

-Can I hold him?

-Yes.

-Aren't you lovely?

-Who's dressed up smart today?

-You're growing every day.

-He screams louder every day, too.

-Good for him.

-You shout at them, Ifan.

-Don't you let them

-walk all over you.

-It's everyone for himself

-in this old world.

-Sara! This is where you are.

-Come home. They're looking for you.

-Sara! It's time for chapel.

-They can keep their chapel.

-< Sara...

-< Sara...

-

-Leave me alone.

-Where have you been?

-Out.

-Out.

-

-Out where?

-Come on, it's time for chapel.

-I'm not coming.

-I'm not coming.

-

-Why, are you sick?

-You could say that.

-Don't speak in parables, girl!

-Fine!

-Then I'll tell you straight.

-Yes, I am sick.

-What you're doing to Sara

-makes me sick.

-Hypocrites like you make me sick!

-Are you happy now?

-You're never to speak to me

-like that again, do you understand?

-Now, go and freshen up

-and come to chapel.

-# WELSH HYMN #

-Why do you see the speck

-that is in your brother's eye...

-..but do not notice the beam

-that is in your own eye?

-Or how can you say to your brother,

-Let me take the speck

-out of your eye,

-..when there is the beam

-in your own eye?

-You hypocrite, first take the beam

-out of your own eye,

-then you will see clearly to take

-the speck out of your brother's eye.

-There will be morning

-and evening services next Sunday.

-Rev. Ebenezer Williams BA BD,

-New Quay, will preside.

-And there will be Sunday School

-as usual at two o'clock.

-Tomorrow evening's

-Fellowship Meeting...

-..we request that you all attend

-at seven o'clock.

-Let us sing Hymn 563.

-Sara?

-Don't cry.

-Just leave it, Jane.

-Just leave it, Jane.

-

-I can't!

-How could you?

-The rascal needed

-to be taught a lesson.

-I agree.

-Maybe we did go too far.

-Luther, I think what they did

-was terrible.

-So do I.

-Young Jane Jenkins...

-Do you know how I feel right now?

-As if everyone in the whole world

-were happy, except me.

-That's nonsense.

-That's how I feel.

-You mustn't.

-Sara, I want to tell you something.

-I have to, or I'll be no better

-than those hypocrites in there.

-But it's difficult.

-Promise me you won't tell

-a living soul.

-I'm sorry for what happened,

-Mr Lewis. A misunderstanding.

-The deacons want more discipline,

-but someone took it too far.

-Luther...

-I'd like you to know I knew nothing

-of that business just now.

-A crowd of us are going to

-Marble Arch - come along with us.

-The singing will be better!

-And there are no doors!

-And no 'saints' to shut you out.

-Coming?

-Why not?

-Hannah...

-Where do you think you're going?

-Where do you think you're going?

-

-Marble Arch.

-# WELSH HYMN #

-So your mother's not his mother.

-Why did you tell me?

-I thought maybe

-it would cheer you up.

-You're not the first to face this

-storm. You won't be the last.

-You haven't cheered me up.

-You've made me feel worse.

-Why?

-You all stood up for Jane -

-the Ffynnon Oer family.

-But I have to face it alone.

-Jane and baby Ifan

-will get fair play.

-But what about my little baby?

-We've only hell to face.

-Sara!

-Thank you for trying to help.

-Martha! Come on, we're going home.

-I'll come along later.

-Why don't you come, now?

-I want to be alone...

-I want some more fresh air.

-Well, don't be long.

-What did you say to her?

-Maybe I'll tell you one day.

-Thank you -

-for trying to help Sara.

-I'm not doing it

-because she's your sister.

-No, I know that.

-There I go again -

-me and my big mouth.

-You speak your mind, that's all.

-That's one of the reasons

-why I like you so much.

-Martha...

-I really like you.

-I have done for years.

-Since we were at school together.

-I like you so much.

-But lately...

-But lately...

-

-Rhys!

-I must tell you how I feel.

-Lately, I haven't been able

-to think about anything else.

-I can't stop thinking about you.

-How you look, what you say and do.

-I like you so much.

-I love you.

-I have to go!

-I have to go!

-

-No, don't go. Tell me how you feel.

-Rhys! My head's spinning.

-I don't know what to do or say.

-I'd better go.

-I'd better go.

-

-I'll walk with you.

-I'd rather go alone.

-888

-Martha! Where have you been?

-Martha, what took you so long?

-I've been talking to Rhys.

-Just talking? Answer me!

-Yes! Just talking.

-What's wrong with you?

-I'm worried about you.

-I'm worried you and Marged-Ann will

-end up like Lizzie, Jane and Sara.

-Can you blame me?

-Girls today don't think twice

-about keeping themselves pure.

-What did Sara have to say

-after you stormed out of chapel?

-She's frightened.

-Frightened of facing it all alone.

-She has her family.

-She has her family.

-

-They're no support.

-Not like we supported Jane.

-She realises how lucky Jane was!

-You've told her, haven't you?

-You've told that girl everything!

-What right did you have to tell her

-our business?

-She's told Sara Tynrhelyg!

-And she'll tell everyone!

-No!

-No!

-

-Calm down... Get inside!

-HANNAH GROANS

-Bobby...

-I do love you.

-We are going to get married,

-aren't we?

-Why is it that whenever I mention

-marriage, you're up and out?

-Vera, try and understand.

-I need more time.

-Katie's only been dead a few months

-- people will talk.

-You know how busy I am what with

-the practice and my business plans.

-I know, you keep bloody telling me!

-Bloody cafe this, bloody cafe that!

-There's a lot of work to be done.

-My brother-in-law is so hopeless.

-Oh, right! Everything's

-I'm sorry.

-It's just that

-I want to be your wife.

-All in good time.

-Promise?

-I promise.

-Mr Owen!

-Mr Owen!

-

-Just calling by, Mr Jenkins.

-It's all go here, Ifan.

-And I think you,

-Sara Tynrhelyg and I...

-..are the cause of it.

-Martha!

-Yes?

-Yes?

-

-The Minister wants a word.

-I don't want to speak to him.

-Martha! Come down, now!

-Martha...

-We'd better go outside, Ifan,

-to check Morgan's done his work.

-He shuts everything up

-for the night.

-But there's been a fox about lately

-hasn't there, Ifan?

-Yes...

-I'll make some tea

-when we come back.

-Come along, Ifan.

-I told them I wanted to speak

-to you about Sara and the meeting.

-Your mother told me

-how worried you are.

-And as I told you this afternoon,

-I'm worried, too.

-The whole business

-is a great burden.

-I want to win over souls,

-not excommunicate people.

-So much for the old order.

-That's why I must

-reconsider my future.

-And possibly leave Brynarfor.

-What would you do?

-Take up lecturing, maybe.

-Overseas missionaries

-are in great demand.

-That's why we must talk.

-About what?

-Us...you and me.

-The answer is 'no'.

-You can't answer

-without knowing the question.

-I won't come with you, Harri.

-That's the first time

-you've said my name.

-Martha...

-It would be heaven to have you

-by my side...

-..as a wife and support.

-You've so much energy

-and determination.

-But more than that,

-I love you, Martha.

-I'm sorry,

-but I had to be honest with you.

-If you did reconsider...

-Harri!

-Yes?

-I want to tell you something.

-Mam isn't Ifan's mother.

-He's Jane's baby.

-That's hypocrisy.

-I tried to tell you this afternoon.

-You can't excommunicate Sara

-tomorrow night. Can you?

-Hello.

-You're still awake...

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-

-Yes, I did. It was great fun.

-You don't need that.

-I don't feel like it tonight!

-Nor any other night for weeks.

-I'm tired, that's all.

-Not too tired to go gallivanting

-with Jane.

-I'm tired, too.

-Tired of working

-from dawn 'til dusk.

-Sunday is the only day off I get.

-And I spend the day with my child

-while my wife's out!

-I haven't been feeling well.

-This baby...

-You won't get better

-until the baby's born!

-Then you'll have two excuses.

-Admit it, you're tired of me.

-Admit it, you're tired of me.

-

-That's not true.

-It's not true, John.

-Martha? Are you still out there?

-Come to bed - it's late! >

-Alright. I'm coming.

-< Martha!

-Have you seen Sara?

-Have you seen Sara?

-

-Not since this afternoon. Why?

-No-one's seen her for hours.

-Everyone's out looking.

-Wait! I'm coming with you.

-Mam! I'm going with Rhys.

-Sara's gone missing.

-Missing?

-Sara!

-Any news?

-Any news?

-

-No, nothing.

-Where can she be?

-Where can she be?

-

-I haven't the remotest idea.

-Martha! Rhys!

-I think I know where she might be.

-I sketched her there this afternoon.
