Brynmor is talking to Kyle

Brynmor is coming out of the deli and is speaking on the phone to Kyle in America, 

"Eleri's passport has run out"

“If Eleri’s passport is about to run out, there’s nothing we can do – no, I’m not lying, right?   

"I am sorting things"

“I am sorting things out, fast track – we will be on the soonest flight possible.”

"I can look at Bethania now"

In front of Bethania, Mathew encounters Siôn;  “I was about to phone you – I’m free to look at Bethania now if that’s convenient.”

Siôn is glad . . .

Siôn is pleased to hear that, but when he turns around and sees Garry, 

. . . but then changes his tune

he quickly changes his tune;  “Not now,” he mutters, “I’ll call round another time.”   Mathew points out that he was in a hurry to do this job, 

"I've got a screwdriver"

but Siôn replies, loudly, in order for Garry to hear, “I’ve got a screwdriver, thanks.”

Then he mutters again, “I’ll get back to you later on, but keep it to yourself.”   

Mathew is puzzled

Mathew cannot understand what is going on.

Garry has been somewhere

Garry has just got back from somewhere and is on his way to Cysgod y Glyn.

Anita is flower arranging

Kelly is with Anita at Brynawelon and they are arranging flowers together;  “Pretty flowers,” says Anita, while Kelly asks which one is her favourite.   “This one is a nice colour.”

Ieuan arrives . . .

Ieuan comes into the room and Kelly explains that they are flower arranging, but he replies that he would not know where to start.   

. . . and the process is explained to him

Anita tells them, “Well, you choose a colourful one like this one and then you take a few that look nice to go with it.”

It appears he is allergic to pollen

It becomes obvious that Ieuan suffers from hay fever, as the pollen from the flowers starts him sneezing.   As he cannot cannot stop doing so, 

"Blinking heck . . ."

Kelly exclaims, “Blinking heck!” then suggests that a blue one would go well with the other flowers.

". . . we can't concentrate!"

She complains that they cannot concentrate with his sneezing, 

Ieuan leaves them

so he thinks that he had better leave 

Kelly and Anita continue

as they continue with their flowers.

"Where on earth have you been?"

Eleri is working on her laptop when she is surprised to see Garry;  “Where on earth have you been?” she demands.   

"I had things to sort out"

He says that he has had things to sort out, but she reminds him that one text would have been nice.

"Why is Kyle still alive?"

“Why is Kyle still alive?” she wants to know.

Ieuan looks at his laptop . . .

Ieuan is looking at his laptop when the door of number 7 opens 

. . . which he quickly closes

and Kelly returns, so he quickly closes the laptop, giving the excuse that he is looking at sensitive council documents.

"Auntie Neet was really responsive"

“Do you know what?   Auntie Neet was really responsive with the flower arranging today – much better,” Kelly smiles.  

"What's wrong?"

She can see that he has something on his mind and asks him what it is.   He simply answers that Kelly has had a good day with Anita.

"Are you sulking?"

“And you’re sulking because the flowers made you sneeze?   I’m really sorry you had to leave, but Auntie Neet was amazing today – I just wanted to make the most of her company, like.”

"OK, what's wrong?"

She goes back into the kitchen, but then turns and asks, “OK, what’s wrong?   Spit it out.”

"You've spoiled everything!"

Eleri reprimands Garry, “You’ve spoiled everything!” but he maintains that he thinks he has Kyle on their side.

"I think we can use him"

“I think we can use him.”   

"He's a psychopath!"

Eleri knows from experience that he is a psychopath.   “He and I understand each other,” Garry maintains, but she points out that is how Kyle plays people;  she cannot believe that he fell for it.

"I can make this work for us"

However, Garry is adamant, “I can make this work for us – 

"Kyle has a lot of business experience"

“Kyle has a lot of business experience . . .” 

"This will get me killed!"

She stops him there;  “Perhaps you think this is a game, but your decision will get me killed!   How am I going to get out of this?   

"I'm exactly where he wants me"

“I’m exactly where he wants me.”

Garry assures her that he does not think it is a game 

"I was going to kill him, but . . . "

and confesses, “I was going to do it – I was going to kill him for you, but I started to think about the way you got Kyle to go to jail for you – the way you got me to kill him for you – just let me finish!   

". . . the truth is, I don't trust you"

“The truth is I don’t trust you “

"I'm not going to spend it in jail"

and I’m not going to spend the time I have left in jail because of you.”

Ieuan tries to explain

Ieuan confesses to Kelly, “I had a good time with her last night, too – but the time before that was weeks ago 

"I'm finding it hard"

“and I’m finding it hard to remain positive for such a short period of time.”

"Those small moments are worth everything!"

She replies, “But those small moments are like, they’re worth everything, aren’t they?”   

"It's boring and difficult"

He is finding that going to visit Anita is so . . . boring, to be completely honest – and difficult.”

"We need to be there for her"

“Yes, it’s difficult because we love and care for a person with dementia.   We need to be there for her,” Kelly insists and he agrees that he is going to be there for her 

"Sometimes there's no response at all`'

but points out that she does not recognise him, he cannot converse with her, there is no response at all sometimes, but he will still go.

"What do you want?   A round of applause?"

“Oh, wow!   There we are then – what do you want?   A round of applause?   She is your wife, mind.”

"Am I not allowed to admit it?"

“So I’m not allowed to admit I find it all painful?” Ieuan wonders.

"It's not about you!"

Kelly exclaims, “It’s not about you – Auntie Neet is the priority and she’s the one who’s suffering – 

"Don't make out you're some kind of hero!"

“please don’t make out you’re some kind of hero, going to visit your wife in a care home – 

"I'm really sorry if it's boring!"

“and I’m really sorry if it’s boring.”   

Ieuan slinks away

Ieuan sadly turns and walks away.

"You should have told me!"

“You should have told me!” Eleri growls.   Garry replies that he is sorry, 

"Plans change"

but explains that plans change.   

"He's got inside your head"

“He’s got inside your head,” she continues.

"He can be part of Brynawelon"

Garry admits that perhaps he has, but is still insistent that they can use Kyle;  “He can be part of Brynawelon – he’s an expert in laundering.”

"He wants me in New York"

Eleri shouts, “Kyle doesn’t want to be involved in some paltry wills scam!   He wants me in New York – 

"I don't know what he'll do!"

“I don’t know what he’ll do to get that!”   

"I won't let Kyle do anything!"

Garry maintains that he will not let Kyle do anything, 

"You're more naïve than I thought"

so she tells him that he is more naïve than she thought.

"I'm going to let you cool down"

“I’m going to let you cool down – I've got stuff to sort out.   We’ll talk about this another time,” says Garry

Ieuan contacts Janet again

Once again, Ieuan is telling his troubles to Janet who agrees that it sounds like a painful situation.   

"I'd love to be able to talk to you"

‘I’d love to be able to talk to you properly,’ he types and she seems surprised that he cannot hear her.

He thinks that there must be a way of sorting the lack of sound, but he is not very good with technology;  

"Perhaps my brother could help"

“Perhaps my brother could help – I hope that we can talk properly tonight, then.’

Siôn is tidying up

Siôn is tidying up some rubbish outside the chapel 

"How are you getting on?"

when Garry approaches from Cysgod y Glyn;  “Keeping an eye on the place, are you?   How are you getting on with persuading the committee?”   

"Things are not that easy"

Siôn says that things are not that easy, 

"Perhaps I'll have a word with Megan"

so Garry thinks that perhaps he will have a word with Megan.

"It takes time to persuade them"

“There’s no need for that – I’m working on them.   It takes time to persuade them as they’re so faithful to Bethania.”   

"Move things along, then"

Garry would like him to move things along as he is running out of time.

"What exactly are your plans?"

“What exactly are your plans?” Siôn enquires, “Some developers tried to buy it a few years ago, but what’s so different this time?”

"I'm part of the community"

Garry sneers, “I’m not some syndicate of developers – I live here – I’m part of the community, my sister is a chapel member.”   

"What do you intend to do with it?"

Once again, Siôn asks what he wants to do with it, but is told, “You don’t need to know – just sort things out with the committee quickly – 

"I'll have to speak to Kelly and Griffiths"

“or I’ll have to pop over to number 7 and speak to Kelly and Griffiths.”

"Listen, you can't avoid this"

Brynmor is back at Cysgod y Glyn;  “Listen, you can’t avoid this, he tells Eleri, 

"I don't have a passport"

who replies that she does not have a passport.

"Not going is not an option"

“OK, you’ve bought a bit of time, but not going to New York is not an option – I’ve paid for a fast track service to get you a new passport.   Kyle will need proof that we’ve booked another flight.”

"Why are you doing what he says?"

Eleri demands, “Why are you doing what he says so easily?   Can’t we come to an agreement?”   

"It's either this, or jail"

Brynmor insists that it is either this, or they are both going to jail.

"Money could sort this out"

Then she suggests that money could sort this out, but her father disagrees;  “He wants you – 

"You know as well as I do"

“you know as well as I do what he does to people standing in his way.   

"For Jinx's sake, you have to leave"

“So for Jinx’s sake, you have to leave.

"I need help, Hywel"

Ieuan has taken his laptop to Hywel, explaining that he needs help;  “Can you check the sound settings on this?   

"For council meetings"

“How do you make sure the laptop’s speakers are working?   For council meetings,” he hastens to add.   He tells his brother that the microphone works, but he cannot hear an answer from the councillors.

"It's a common problem"

Hywel recognises it as a common problem and offers to set up a new system;  

"I'll do it now, if you want'"

“I can do it now if you want – pop over later to pick it up.”   

"The password's there"

Ieuan explains that the password is there.

Hywel soon finds what is wrong . . .

It does not take many seconds for Hywel to diagnose the problem, 

. . but notices something disturbing. 

but in the process he notices something which disturbs him.

Up in the gallery at Bethania

We have our first view of the gallery in Bethania, where Mathew is carrying out an inspection;  “The roof is in bad condition, so you need a new one – before winter if possible.   

"That's going to cost about, £25,000"

“On its own, that’s going to cost around £25,000.   But I’ve got some worse news – the vestry walls – they’re damp so the whole lot needs to be re-rendered, which is going to be expensive.”

"It's dangerous in its present state"

The news that all the repairs will total about £50,000 is a shock to Siôn, but Mathew goes on that in its present state the building is dangerous.   If you want us to do the work, we can do it at the end of September, but you'll need to let us know soon if you want us to go ahead.   

"Otherwise, you're looking at the New Year"

’Otherwise, you’re looking at the New Year.”

Siôn is very much aware that it will take a while to raise that kind of money;  Mathew warns that perhaps costs will have risen by then.

"Quite a large deposit"

“There is one more thing – it’s up to you, but, with the deposit, we need quite a large one due to this type of work – a deposit of £20,000.”   

He does not know where the money will come from

Siôn will be in touch with a decision, although he appears unsure of where this money will come from.

"I could try throwing money at him"

“I could try throwing money at him – I would,” says Brynmor, but Eleri is still not convinced that this is not a game between him and Kyle.   

"Have you no other bargaining chip?"

She wonders if he has no other bargaining chip apart from his daughter.

"I'm not the one calling the shots here"

He tells her that he is not the one calling the shots here;  “I’ll get in touch when the new passport has arrived, OK?”   He gets up and walks out of the flat.

She looks online for . . . 

Eleri opens her laptop and conduct an online search for 

. . . countries without extradition

‘Countries without extradition’.

"Does it work?"

Ieuan has returned to number 21 to collect his laptop;  he anxiously asks, “Does it work?”   

"You had it on mute"

Hywel confirms that it does, informing his brother that he had it on mute, 

He feels rather stupid

which he finds rather embarrassing.

"Who's Janet"

“Look, tell me, who’s Janet?” Hywel asks and Ieuan looks very sheepish, 

"A friend who's been very supportive"

answering that she is a friend who has been very supportive.   Hywel  assumes that they have not met face-to-face.   

"Do you think this could be a scam?"

“Don’t you think that this could be a scam?”

"She never asked for money"

Ieuan replies that she has never asked for money;  

"I've seen some of the messages"

“I’ve seen some of the messages.”   

"You had no right!"

Ieuan protests that he has no right to do that, but he explains that the voice simply came over the speakers.

“That was a private chat!” Ieuan insists.   

"Her language is rather formal . . ."

Hywel has only seen a few messages, but considers that Janet’s language is rather formal.

". . . `I think 'Janet' is AI!"

“I’m sorry to tell you this, Ieuan, but I think ‘Janet’ is AI – her messages are so generic.”   

Ieuan grabs his laptop and leaves

Ieuan refuses to listen to any more of this, but picks up his laptop 

"Ieuan – wait!"

and quickly leaves the house.

Siôn notices . . .

Siôn comes out of Bethania and locks the door;  as he looks across the road, 

. . . Garry by The Pizza Place 

he can see Garry outside The Pizza Place, 

He goes over there . . .

so he walks purposefully across to the shop, which is empty.   

 . . .and finds plans for Bethania . . . 

On the counter is a large plan of Bethania, which seems to indicate that the place is to be turned into multiple bedrooms.   

. . . which he removes

After turning it round and studying it for a moment, he folds it up and stuffs it into his pocket as he leaves.

"Go for it!"

He goes next door to APD to inform Mathew, “Go for it!   The slot in September for the roof and the other work.”

"Are you all right to pay the deposit?"

Mathew replies that he will place the job in his diary;  “Are you all right to pay the deposit?   I’ll need the money beforehand to be able to order the materials.”

"Not a word to anyone"

Sion replies that it will be no problem and that he will sort out things as soon as possible;  “But in the meantime, not a word to anyone,” he stipulates.

Ieuan is back at number 7

Ieuan is back at number 7, where he checks that no-one else is in the house.   

He quickly contacts Janet

He quickly opens the laptop and put on his glasses.   “Hello, Janet, it’s Ieuan here,” he says, nervously, “I had the laptop on mute.”

A distinctly mechanical voice replies, “Hello, Ieuan.”

"I need a passport . . ."

At Cysgod y Glyn, Eleri pleads with Garry, “I need your help – you promised me fake passports – and I need them!   

". . . by tomorrow!"

“It’s the least you can do – by tomorrow!”

"I'm not sure that's possible"

He is not sure if that is possible, 

"You're my only hope –please!"

but she insists, “You have to – you’re my only hope – please!”

"Leave it with me" 

“Leave it with me,” Garry tells her.
