Brynmor is not responding

Jinx shouts Brynmor’s name but receives no response;  

Jinx does not know what to do

he does not know what to do.   

Kyle tells Eleri, “I’m so sorry,” 

Eleri quickly grabs the gun . . .

but she seizes her opportunity to grab the gun, which is still lying on the floor 

. . . and turns it on Kyle

and immediately points it at him.

"I'm warning you!"

“OK, I’m warning you!” she growls, as Jinx tells her to be careful with that gun, as she does not know how to handle it.

"Oh, yes, she does!"

“Oh yes, she does!” Kyle informs him, as he backs away from the gun.

Indeg simply wants a bottle of fizz . . .

Downstairs, Indeg has come in for a bottle of fizz, but Kath is concerned by the noise upstairs;  

. . .  but Kath's mind is on other things

“Did you hear that?”   Although Indeg says that she is in a hurry, 

She goes to investigate

Kath decides to go upstairs to investigate.

Eleri instructs Kyle, “If you leave now, you’ll be back in New York by lunchtime tomorrow,” 

"I'm not going without you"

but he is still adamant that he is not going without her.   Jinx urges him, “Just go – the authorities will be here in a minute.”

However, Eleri insists that no-one is calling an ambulance, 

"I'm not sure if he's going to survive!"

but Jinx is desperate, “Look at him!   I’m not sure your father is going to survive!”

Kath is listening

Kath is listening from just outside the door, 

"Is that what you want, Kyle?"

as Eleri demands, “Is that what you want, Kyle?   Jail for manslaughter?   Rotting in another cell for 15 years?”

"Let me phone for an ambulance!"

Jinx simply begs her to do the right thing and let him phone for an ambulance.   Kath had heard enough and goes back downstairs 

"You have a choice"

as Eleri points out to Kyle, “You have a choice – leave now and start the divorce proceedings, or stay here and pay the price for attacking an old man who was too old to defend himself.   

"Life is draining from him"

“Come on, Kyle, look at him – he’s so pale – life is draining from him.”

Jinx has had enough of this

Jinx has had enough;  “I can’t let you do this!” 

He barges between them . . .

and he barges between them.   Kyle manages to grab him, but Eleri is still training the gun on him.

. . . and is taken prisoner by Kyle

“Put the gun down, Eleri ,before someone else gets hurt!” Kyle snarls.

Please hurry!"

At the bottom of the stairs, Kath has phoned for an ambulance and urges them to hurry up, promising that the door will be open.   

"Emergency – we have to close"

Then she announces to the few customers that there is an emergency and she has to close the pub, 

The customers obediently file out

much to Indeg’s displeasure.

Kath listens for developments

She returns to the foot of the stairs and listens to developments up there;  

"This isn't going to end well"

“You know this is not going to end well,” Eleri tells Kyle, 

"I don't want to be without you"

but he is still insisting that he does not want to be without her.

She is confident that he will find better and instructs him to let Jinx go.   “You’re not going to use that,” he taunts her.

"Let him go now!"

She shouts angrily, “Let him go now!”   Kyle throws Jinx aside 

Jinx stumbles back to Brynmor

and he stumbles back to Brynmor.   

I"d rather die than spend life with you!"

“I’d rather die than spend the rest of my life with you!” Eleri goes on, “Is that what you want?   Do you want me to die?”

"Brynmor will die in a minute"

“Brynmor will die in a minute if we don’t call an ambulance,” Jinx reminds them.   “Brynmor, can you hear me?   Just stay with us, right?”

"There's no future for us, Kyle"

Eleri makes it very clear, “There’s no future for us, Kyle,” 

"You're losing your edge, Eleri'

and he accuses her of losing her edge, choosing a soft touch like Jinx.   “He makes me happy,” is her response.

As the sound of a distant siren can be heard, she warns that he has minutes and should just go;  “Go out the back – do you want to go to jail?”   

Kyle kisses her . . .

His response is to kiss her, inform her that he will always love her and then he does leave.   

. . . comes face-to-face with Kath . . .

When he gets to the bottom of the stairs, he encounters Kath, 

. . .  and escapes

then runs through the bar and out of the Deri.

"I was kicked out of the Deri"

At Y Felin, Indeg is complaining, “I was basically kicked out of the Deri, so I forked out for fizz from Tamed.”

Siwsi reports that Lleucu is on the way;  “I could see her from the bathroom window.”   

Lleucu comes in

The door opens and Lleucu comes in, surprised to see the welcoming committee.   They wait with bated breath to hear her results.

"I failed Welsh!"

“I failed Welsh!” Lleucu groans, but they reassure her that she can resit the exam and she has another year to think about her future.   

"You got three 'A's"

However, when they get a look at the results, they find she has three ‘A’s.   

"And a 'D' in Welsh!"

“And a ‘D’ in Welsh,” says Lleucu, “It would be better if I hadn’t been disqualified in the literacy paper.”

She disappears upstairs 

She has a call on her phone and tells them that it is either her father or mother, so she goes upstairs.

Eleri removes evidence of a struggle

As sirens can be heard and flashing blue lights are outside, Eleri is tidying up the room.  “You don’t have time for that – your father needs you,” insists Jinx, 

"I'm not a doctor"

but she protests that she is not a doctor.   She is desperate to hide the gun, 

Kath will have a shock at breakfast-time

which is placed in a breakfast cereal box on the worktop.

The paramedics arrive . . .

Meanwhile, Kath is welcoming the ambulance crew 

. . . and are sent upstairs

and showing them upstairs.   Eleri tells Jinx to let her do the talking.   

"He's still breathing"

He reports that Brynmor is still breathing but has not come round.

"He fell against the sideboard"

Eleri tells the ambulance crew, “He fancy a sherry before lunch and he fell against the sideboard – I offered to . . .” 

"Shut up, Eleri!"

but Kath simply tells her to shut up.   All that she wants to know is whether he will be all right, as she cannot lose him now.   

Things are not looking good

The blood coming from his ear is not a good sign.

Indeg has been eavesdropping 

Indeg and Siwsi are trying to select something suitable for Lleucu to wear, but, while upstairs, Indeg has learned something else.   “Lleucu’s phone call – she was not talking to the family – I was literally checking on her and I’m glad I did, 

"A consultation with a beauty clinic"

“because it sounded like an actual consultation with an actual real life beauty clinic.”

“You’re in the loop – come on, elaborate.”   

"I don't know anything"

At first Siwsi maintains that she does not know anything, but then reveals that Lleucu has been a little sensitive about the way she looks in general.

"I expect it's her glutes"

Indeg assumes that it is her glutes (muscles in the buttocks, apparently).   

"You must promise not to tell anyone"

Siwsi insists that she has to promise not to tell anyone, especially Lleucu.

Brynmor is in hospital 

Brynmor is now in hospital, still unconscious, with Kath sitting alongside;  “Come on, Brynmor – stay with me, love. 

"We've got a lot of cruises to go on"

“We've got a lot to do – a lot of cruises to go on.”

"She must have been the one who phoned"

Outside, looking through the window, Eleri assumes that she is the one who phoned the ambulance and Jinx agrees that it could only have been her.   “Thank goodness she did, I say.”

"But what did she hear before she phoned?"

Eleri is concerned about what she heard before phoning for the ambulance;  

"I'm so sorry, Kath"

then they go into the room and Eleri says how sorry she is.

"Sorry about what?"

“Oh, yeah?   Sorry about what, Eleri?   Sorry that your father’s life is in danger?   He’s critical – do you realise what that means?”   

"For bringing Kyle into our lives"

Eleri replies that is why she is sorry for bringing Kyle into their lives.

"What did Kyle want?"

“Yes, Kyle – what did he want?”

"He wanted me"

“He wanted me,” is the reply, “Thank you, by the way, for phoning the ambulance, because we couldn’t reach our phones – not when he had a gun!   We are lucky he heard the sirens when he did.”

"I hope the police believe your story . . ."

Kath hopes that the police believe her story;  “I heard lots of voices, so I phoned the paramedics and the police, to be on the safe side.   

". . . and they're here"

“And they’re here.”   Eleri does not seem particularly pleased to hear that.

Indeg is sorting dresses

When Lleucu comes downstairs and sees Indeg with all the different dresses, 

"That one, with your black boots"

she suggests, “Yes, that one, with your black boots.”

"This is perfect for you"

Indeg maintains that she has found the perfect dress for Lleucu to wear to Cwmfest, but she considers it to be a bit short.   

"Maek the most of your assets"

“Yes, to make the most of your assets – classic move – draw attention down to the . . . and off your insecurities – 

"Not that you have any insecurities"

“not that you have insecurities to worry about obviously – I’m just saying . . .”

In order to escape, Siwsi announces that she has to do a couple of hours at Brynawelon, 

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

but Lleucu furiously turns to her, demanding, “You’ve told her, haven’t you?”   Indeg insists that there is nothing wrong with her nose.

"I can't believe I was stupid enough to trust you!"

“I can’t believe I was stupid enough to trust you!” snarls Lleucu and races back upstairs.   

Siwsi makes herself scarce

Siwsi leaves the house.

Kath is deep in thought

Kath is still looking through the glass, 

"Where's Dad?"

but Eleri discovers that Brynmor is no longer there and wants to know where he is.   “They’ve taken him for a scan,” says Kath.   

"You were't with the police long"

Jinx returns with a couple of drinks and comments that Eleri was not with the police for very long.

“Yeah, well, there isn’t much to say when someone just falls like that,” she replies, continuing that the police want to speak to him next, 

She relieves him of his coffee

so she will take his coffee.   

"Remember to keep it simple"

“Remember to keep it simple – he tripped, that’s all.”

"He's well-trained, isn't he?"

Kath is well aware that there is a lot more to it than that and remarks, “He’s well-trained, isn’t he?   I hope he sticks to the story.   

"What aboiut Kyle's statement?"

“What about Kyle’s statement?”

"Just forget about Kyle!"

This touches a nerve and Eleri snarls, “Just forget about Kyle!   Listen, Kath, he’s out of our lives, 

"If you even mention his name . . ."

“so if you even mention his name, you will make things a thousand times worse for Dad.   

"Stick to the story – for his sake"

“So just, please, stick to the story, for his sake.”

"Spam from random stupid girls"

Lleucu has found another message on her phone;  “Is this what I’m going to get now?   Spam from random stupid girls?” she moans to Indeg.

"I'm the random stupid girl"

Indeg admit that she is the random stupid girl, so she totally understands how Lleucu feels.   

"I had lip filler done"

“I had lip filler done about four years ago.”   Lleucu points out that she looks fine now so it must have worked.

"I had to pay more than £700"

Indeg sits Lleucu down and continues, “I had to pay more than £700 for a reversal.   The worst thing was the pain – and I have a really high pain threshold.”

"I'm only looking into it"

Lleucu maintains that she is just looking into it at the moment, 

"It's like the Wild West out there"

but is warned that it is like the Wild West out there;  “My clinic had five stars, gold reviews, awards – but something in the filler didn’t agree with me.   I mean, I went to beauty school looking like that for seven months, Lleucs.   

"I couldn't post anything on socials"

“I couldn’t post anything on socials.   If it goes wrong, your life could be totally over.”

"Thanks for sharing that"

Lleucu thanks her for sharing that, 

"Not my finest moment"

which she agrees was not her finest moment.

Eleri is pacing up and down at the hospital;  Jinx tells her, “Sit down, please will you?   You’re like a goat on pins.”

"What is she telling them?"

She is very worried about what Kath is telling the police;  “I was downstairs, I heard a noise, I panicked, I phoned for help – it’s as easy as that.”

"I had a word with the doctor"

Then Kath does return, advising them that she had a word with the doctor;  

"They'll have to wait until he wakes up"

“The MRI did not show anything specific, so they will have to wait until he wakes up to know more, but if he gets through this, he has a long road to recovery.”

"How did it go with the police?"

Eleri cannot wait to ask how it went with the police.   

"You've got your own way for now . . ."

“Don’t worry, Eleri – you’ve got your own way for now – 

". . . but if he doesn't get through it . . ."

“but I tell you this, if he doesn’t get through it, I’ll make sure that you and Kyle are locked up for a very long time.   Is that clear?”

Lleucu prepares to go out . . .

Lleucu is applying make up and is advised that they will not be going to the Deri tonight;  

. . . to Carmarthen

“Kath was having a big drama this morning, so we’re going straight to Carms, where Siwsi will meet us.   Come on, Lleucs, we’re missing out on pre-drinking time.”

"My nose is not quite right"

Lleucu is convinced that her nose is not quite right, 

"The taxi will be here in five minutes"

but is told that the taxi will be there in five minutes;  she can finish her make-up in the taxi.

"I'm not going anywhere like this . . ."

“I’m not going anywhere like this!” Lleucu decides and nothing that Indeg can say will change her mind.   

". . . I look disgusting"

“I look disgusting,” she groans, and Indeg describes her as being ‘a silly sausage’.

“Just cancel the taxi – I’m not going!”   

"We're celebrating your results"

She is reminded that they are celebrating her results, but she would rather just have a quiet drink at home.

“Do you know how difficult it is to book a taxi on results night?” Indeg demands.   

"Town will be packed, anyway"

Lleucu reminds her that town will be packed anyway.   

"Is it something to do with what we discussed?"

“Is it something to do with what we discussed earlier?”

"Let's have a girlie night in"

Lleucu just prefers to have a girlie night in with the two of them;  Indeg says that there are plenty of tinnies in the fridge, as perhaps her Indy  special is not too special.

"This has been going on for weeks"

“Today has been a long day,” says Eleri, but Jinx pushes her away, pointing out it is not just today, but this has been going on for weeks.

"I have to accept that killing someone is a good thing"

“You’ve justified putting a hit on Kyle as a good thing – you said you did it to keep us safe.   Do you expect me to accept that killing someone is a good thing?   But I did, didn’t I?   I did accept it.

"I don't think I can do it anymore"

“From today, no more!  To be honest, I don’t think I can do it anymore.”   

He walks away

As he walks away along the corridor, she reminds him that he came to rescue her, 

"Doesn't that count for anything?"

demanding whether that counts for anything.

"Yes – that I'm a mug!"

“Yes – that I’m a mug!” he exclaims, “If I was the one half dead on the floor of the Deri, you would have done the same – 

"As long as Eleri is all right"

“as long as Eleri is all right – that’s all that’s important to you.”

She insists that is not true, but he is adamant that it is;  “And do you know what else is true?   

"I don't think I like that Eleri enough!"

“I don’t think I like that Eleri enough to hang around!”   

He leaves Eleri . . .

He walks off along the corridor, with Eleri fearing that he is walking out of her life.
