| "That Gerwyn is making my blood boil!" |
At the door of number 9, Garry is complaining to Jason, “That Gerwyn is making my blood boil – stealing all my customers,”
 |
| "He looks as if he is busy" |
but Jason replies that he looks as if he is busy.
 |
| Garry's version of 'reasoning' is to issue threats |
“I tried to reason with him – told him to pack up his tools, but he won’t listen,” Garry continues.
 |
| "See Councillor Diane Ashurst" |
Jason suggests asking his Mam to have a word with him – Councillor Diane Ashurst.
Garry will have another go at him before trying that;
 |
| "Here's the money from Dani's charity account" |
he has brought over the money from Dani’s charity. “She wants you to bank it, as you’re helping with the accounts,” he says. As soon as Garry is out of the door,
 |
| Jason removes the notes |
Jason delves into the bag, helps himself to a wad of notes and puts them in his pocket, just as Sara comes downstairs.
 |
| "Do you have time to take me to town?" |
“Garry wants me to take ‘Love the Planet’ money to the bank – do you have time to take me to town, please?” he pleads, and she reminds him that he was the one who agreed to help Dani.
 |
| "The bank is next door to the bookies" |
“But the bank is next door to the bookies, isn’t it?” he reminds her.
 |
| "I'm glad you're so honest with me" |
She appreciates him being so honest with her.
 |
| "This is an oil filter, not a fuel filter!" |
Mark has delivered a packet to Dai, but he finds that inside is an oil filter, not a fuel filter; “I’m surprised you know the difference,” Mark comments, and Dai emphasises that he was a bit of a mechanic in his day.
 |
| "I could tune it like a Stradivarius!" |
“My head was under the bonnet of that Escort Mexico all the time – I’m telling you, I could tune it like a Stradivarius!” says Dai, “Unfortunately, they don’t make cars like that any more.”
“Gerwyn Parry sorted out my car yesterday,” says Mark, “He knows his stuff – and he’s only £12 an hour!”
 |
| "Garry's always been a rip-off merchant!" |
Dai is outraged, as Monk’s Motors charge £25. “Nefi wen – but then, he’s always been a rip-off merchant!” rages Dai.
 |
| Iori is still trying to flog his 'supplements' |
In the shop, Iori is trying out his hard-sell patter on Llinos, who is behind the counter;
 |
| "Get them to talk to me" |
“Remember, if you know someone who’s on a diet and struggling, tell them to talk to me.” He sees Jason, who is looking at the racing pages of the Western Post,
 |
| "I like a flutter myself" |
and comments, “I like a flutter myself – I cried my eyes out when poor Shergar was kidnapped – I made a small fortune because of him.”
 |
| "I don't bet!" |
Jason makes it clear that he does not bet, but is simply interested, following the jockeys and the form of the horses,
 |
| "The best part is the winning!" |
but Iori tells him he is missing the best part – winning. Jason describes it as a mug’s game.
 |
| Two full Welsh breakfasts, coming up |
Mark returns home from his round, and tells his mother, “There’s nothing better than the smell of bacon!” She produces two plates of breakfast,
 |
| "What was all that talk of healthy eating?" |
and he wonders what all that talk about healthy eating was; “You’ve been doing so well.”
 |
| "I've got these chocolate supplements from Iori" |
“Don’t worry about me – I’ve got these chocolate supplements from Iori yesterday. I won’t have to eat half as much now,” she says. Mark is disturbed that she is buying stuff from Iori, but she points out there is no fat on him; “There’s more fat on a worm!”
 |
| "Iori is a crook!" |
Mark describes him as a crook, but she maintains he would never dare to cheat Kath Jones.
 |
| "Surprise!" |
Jason is noting down a horse on which to bet when he is surprised by Sandra;
 |
| "Sara is around somewhere!" |
he is nervous, and demands, “What are you doing? Sara is around somewhere.” She does not regard this as a very nice welcome, but he encourages her to go away before anyone sees her.
She tells him not to be so paranoid,
 |
| She notices the money in his pocket |
and notices the money in his top pocket, which she retrieves;
 |
| "I can take care of myself!" |
he grabs it and assures her that he can take care of himself now. He walks away.
 |
| "I've got a problem with the car" |
Dai knocks on the door of number 10, and tells Gerwyn that he has a problem with the car;
 |
| "Monk's Motors – blinkin' cowboys!" |
“It’s probably dodgy diesel – Monk’s Motors usually service it – blinkin’ cowboys! Can you check it out? I’ve got a list here of things that need doing.”
 |
| "I can get the parts by this afternoon" |
Gerwyn is confident of getting the parts by this afternoon, and Dai is highly impressed; Jaclyn will send him the bill.
 |
| "The best breakfast I've had for a while!" |
Kath says that is the best breakfast she has had for a while;
 |
| "I think these work" |
“I think these work,” she says, looking at her chocolate bar, “I won’t want food for hours now.”
He points out, “Look, Mam, there’s no telling where Iori got that chocolate – look at it –
 |
| "No name, no instructions – nothing!" |
“there’s no name, no instructions – nothing! Doesn’t that tell you anything? You don’t need supplements, now you’ve cut down on biscuits and takeaways.”
 |
| "You just keep your nose out!" |
Kath is becoming angry, and tells him to keep his nose out.
 |
| Jason is becoming tired of the banging on his door |
Now Sandra is banging on the door of number 9, and tells Jason that she is not going anywhere; “You’re on a downer, and you need company,” she shouts.
 |
| "I can help you, Jason!" |
When he finally opens the door, she informs him, “I can help you!” but he is insistent that he can do this by himself, with the help and support of his wife.
 |
| "I don't want you here, OK?" |
“Sandra, I don’t want you here, OK? Just go away!” he exclaims, and she does;
 |
| She is getting on his nerves |
Jason is exasperated.
Garry is looking particularly forbidding when Dai comes into the Deri, remarking, “It doesn’t cost a penny to smile, you know.”
 |
| "You can get to The Bull in half an hour" |
“If you start walking now, you’ll get to The Bull in half an hour,” Garry informs him, “Because I’m not serving you – I don’t serve people who give their business to Gerwyn Parry. I hear he’s quite busy at the moment.”
 |
| "I assumed Monk's Motors would be too busy" |
Dai says that he assumed Monk’s Motors would be too busy to do the job;
 |
| "Gerwyn Parry is stealing my business |
Garry growls that they are not busy at all. “Gerwyn Parry is stealing my business!”
Iori comments, rather pointedly, to Dai, “I heard you have been attending Rhys’ sessions – they haven’t had much effect, have they?”
 |
| "I didn't come here to be insulted by a dickie bow on legs!" |
Dai turns and replies, “Look here, Pharoah, I didn’t come here to be insulted by a dickie bow on legs!”
 |
| "You'll be a 'slim Jim' in no time!" |
Undeterred, Iori tries to flog him one of his so-called ‘supplement bars’, promising that Dai will be a ‘Slim Jim’ in no time.
Dai tells him in no uncertain terms what he can do with his supplements, and leaves the pub;
 |
| Gwen does not appear convinced, either |
Gwen, who is at the bar, looks unimpressed with Iori. Then he receives a telephone call from Mark.
 |
| "Don't say a word to Dai, mind" |
Jason is packing all the necessary equipment into the boot of their car, and warning Sara not to say a word to Dai. He insists that Siôn wants him to finish the job quickly, and he only needs a few tools to start with.
 |
| They are being watched, from a safe distance |
Along the street, Sandra is watching.
 |
| Dai is approaching, so Jason feigns a migraine |
Dai is coming along the street, past the café, towards them; Jason gives the excuse that he is not feeling well, suffering from a migraine.
 |
| "You had better lie down, Jason" |
Sara plays along, advising that he had better go and lie down, while Dai wonders what is wrong with youngsters these days.
 |
| "A headache is the end of the word!" |
“A headache is the end of the world, and a sniffle is pneumonia!” he moans.
 |
| Gerwyn is hard at work |
Then he calls across to Gerwyn,
 |
| "Give me a shout when you've finished" |
“Give me a shout when you’ve finished the car!”
 |
| "I want to know what these are!" |
In the Deri, Mark tells Iori, “I’m not paying you a penny, until I know what these are!” Iori assures him they are perfectly safe, and he has been taking them for years.
 |
| As soon as Mark mentions Trading Standards . . . |
Mark is unconvinced; “You’re messing with Mam’s health – so stop supplying her. You won’t mind if I take them to trading standards, will you?”
 |
| . . . Iori's demeanour changes |
Suddenly Iori becomes very nervous, but still insists that he is not hiding anything; “Do you have a licence? Show it to me!” demands Mark, “You’re up to your old tricks again aren’t you?”
 |
| It is actually cheap foreign chocolate |
Iori replies that it is just a bit of a joke; he got them cheap from abroad to sell on the Christmas stall.
 |
| "You've got some explaining to do!" |
“Joke or not, you’ve cheated Mam,” growls Mark, “Come on, you’ve got some explaining to do!”
 |
| Garry predicts things could turn nasty |
Garry visits number 10; “A word to the wise – things could turn nasty, if you keep stealing my customers!”
 |
| "Can I expect to see a horse's head in my bed?" |
Gerwyn wonders if he can expect to see a horse’s head in his bed,
 |
| "I won't let you destroy my business!" |
but Garry continues, “I’ve worked hard to build a decent business here – I won’t let you destroy it!”
 |
| "It can't be much of a business if Gerwyn is a threat" |
Jaclyn remarks, “It can’t be much of a business if Gerwyn is a threat.” Garry points out that he has banned Dai Ashurst from the Deri, and could easily ban them as well.
 |
| "Remember your first car, Garry?" |
Gerwyn asks, “Do you remember your first car?” and Garry replies that it was an RS2000 Mk2. “My uncle had one of those – I used to help him get it ready for rallying – two litre, single overhead camshaft.”
 |
| "Bit of a petrolhead, are you?" |
“Bit of a petrolhead, are you?” asks Garry, and Jaclyn is sure the two of them can come to some kind of understanding. Garry disagrees; “The only understanding I can see is for you to pack up your tools and move back to Aberporth!” Gerwyn replies that they like it in Cwmderi, and it may come as news to Garry that Jaclyn has a job here as well.
 |
| "Try one of Jaclyn's scones" |
“We don’t like people moving in here, trying to take over,” growls Garry, and Gerwyn invites him to try one of Jaclyn’s scones before he goes, but Garry just laughs and walks out of the house.
 |
| Sara has ferried Jason to Aberporth |
Jason and Sara have arrived at Morawel, and Sara regrets that she did not have time to prepare a few meals for him;
 |
| "I don't like you being here on your own!" |
“I don’t like the thought of you being here on your own,” she says, but he argues he will get more work done with no-one to disturb him.
“You know I enjoy demolition work – there will be dust everywhere,” he warns, “Just go home.”
 |
| "Are you sure you don't want any money?" |
She asks if he is sure he does not want any money, and he insists, “I’ll be back next week to spoil the two of you rotten!”
 |
| "Travelling every day would not be practical" |
He dismisses her offer to bring him here every day, pointing out that would not be very practical.
 |
| A parting hug |
After one final hug, she leaves.
 |
| "Iori has something to say" |
At Maes-y-Deri, Mark prompts Iori to talk to his mother;
 |
| "Old mates see the funny side" |
“Mark insisted that I came over to say sorry to you. I knew you’d see the funny side – that’s what old mates do.”
 |
| Kath explains what she would like to do with his dickie bow |
Kath makes it quite clear that they are not mates; “I’ve got a good mind to take you out the back and stick that dickie bow where the sun doesn’t shine!”
 |
| "It's between you two now!" |
Mark leaves again, pointing out that it is between the two of them.
 |
| "We go back a long way, you, me – and Dyff" |
Iori pleads, “We go back a long way, you and me – and Dyff. They were the happiest days of my life.”
 |
| "So why did you make a fool of me like that?" |
She demands why he made a fool of her like that, and tells him to shut up, but forbids him to tell Debbie anything.
 |
| Gerwyn's tools have all disappeared |
Looking in the boot of his car, Gerwyn finds that his tools have been stolen, from in front of the house, and Jaclyn suggest that someone has hidden them as a joke, suspecting Garry.
 |
| "Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously?" |
However they do not have any proof, and ask Dai if he has seen anyone acting suspiciously.
“It’s Garry Monk – he’s not happy about the competition,” alleges Jaclyn, and Gerwyn says there is no point in letting him upset them;
 |
| "I've dealt with several Mr Monks over the years!" |
he has dealt with several Mr Monks over the years.
 |
| "So you haven't fixed my car?" |
Dai is highly displeased that his car has not been fixed,
 |
| There is not a lot Gerwyn can do at the moment |
and Gerwyn is downhearted.
 |
| Jason checks how much he has to gamble with |
At Morawel, as Jason is counting the stolen money, he hears a door closing;
 |
| "Sara's gone, has she?" |
it is Sandra, who asks, “Sara’s gone, has she? I thought you might like some company.” He realises that only Siôn White and Sara knew where he is, but is told that Sandra followed them.
 |
| "You've been stalking me!" |
“You mean, stalked me!” he says, “Please, just go away, will you?”
 |
| "There's nowhere for me to go now" |
She informs him that there is nowhere for her to go, and it is all over between her and Brian. He has kicked her out.
 |
| "Go and sort out your differences, then!" |
Jason advises that they will have to talk and sort out their differences, but she assures him there is no chance of that. “Can I stay here, please?” she begs, but he tells her to stay with one of her many friends. “You’re my only friend now!” she whines.
 |
| "You can stay for a couple of nights" |
“Right, fine – you can stay for a couple of nights, until you sort yourself out,” he concedes, and she looks quite triumphant.
 |
| "I should not have given that fly-by-night my business" |
In the Deri, Dai argues that he has been a fool, and should not have given his business to that fly-by-night Gerwyn. “And on top of that, someone has stolen his tools –
 |
| "I think he's hidden the tools" |
“well, that’s what he says, but I think he’s hidden them! He’s hoodwinked us all!”
Garry remarks that he has changed his tune,
 |
| "Cwmderi people should stick together!" |
but Dai continues, “Iori was right – Cwmderi people should stick together –
 |
| "Could Monk's Motors take a look at the car?" |
“so could Monk’s Motors take a look at the car – to clear up the mess Gerwyn’s made?”
 |
| "I was saying Cwmderi's gone to the dogs!" |
Just at that moment Gerwyn and Jaclyn come in, and Dai informs them he was telling Garry how Cwmderi has gone to the dogs.
 |
| "Someone's stolen Gerwyn's tools" |
Jaclyn says that someone has stolen Gerwyn’s tools,
 |
| "Yes, I can hear the sirens now!" |
but he has phoned the police, and is sure they will find the culprit. He alleges that there is a tracker on the box, but this makes Garry laugh.
 |
| Dai tries to calm everyone with a drink |
Dai says he will buy a round for all of them.
 |
| Sandra is starting to settle in |
Sandra is getting out her sleeping bag, and Jason tells her, “I’m going to be very busy, so try to stay out of my way.”
 |
| "You can escape to the bookies any time you want" |
She considers that it is very clever, staying there, so he can escape to the bookies whenever he wants.
 |
| "If I want to gamble, that's up to me!" |
“If I want to gamble, that’s up to me, isn’t it?” he demands, “And when I want to stop, I can do it without your help, all right?”
 |
| "I'm gambling again!" |
Then she admits she has not been honest with him, but is gambling again herself – that is why Brian kicked her out.
 |
| "You've stopped before, haven't you?" |
He points out that she has stopped before, and she alleges that she can do it again, easily. “But for now, I want to enjoy myself – shall we go to the bookies?”
 |
| Off they go, to lose some more money |
He does not take long to agree to this, and they hurry out of the house.
