| Sioned emerges from the shop flat . . . |
Sioned comes out of the shop flat and walks along the alley,
 |
| . . . and meets Jessie |
where she encounters Jessie, who enquires, “Did you like the photos?”
 |
| "I'm not going to the police" |
Sioned replies that she has not been to the police, and does not intend to go.
 |
| "Good – because you're so photogenic |
“Good – that’s what I like to hear,” Jessie tells her, “Because you’re so photogenic.”
 |
| Eileen and Huwi come round the corner |
Eileen comes round the corner by APD, pushing Huwi’s pram, and greets them;
 |
| "Oh, Kirsty, that's right!" |
Jessie reminds her that her name is Kirsty, and Eileen says she needs a word with Sioned, so Jesse returns to her car,
 |
| Jessie will keep Sioned under surveillance |
making sure to keep a careful eye on Sioned..
 |
| Eileen has a job for Sioned to do |
“I want your help – Kath’s away and I have to finish this order by the end of the day,” Eileen says.
 |
| "Surströmming for the Writing Club" |
Anita and Siôn come into the Deri, wanting to leave something in the kitchen; “I’ve got the Surströmming, ready for the Writing Club,” Siôn announces.
 |
| "What on earth is that?" |
Brenda wonders whatever that is, and it is informed that this is a Swedish word for fermented mackerel, which she does not fancy at all. Siôn maintains that it tastes better than it sounds, and advises Garry that it has to be opened underwater.
“Don’t worry – I’ve watched the videos on YouTube,” he explains.
 |
| "Any news about the election?" |
Brenda wonders if there is any news about who has won the election, and predicts that Hywel will win, which does not please Anita.
 |
| "Hywel and that Lisa are a glamorous couple" |
“He and that Lisa are a glamorous couple, and people love couples like that – like ‘Brangelina’,” Brenda goes on.
 |
| "We should have called ourselves 'Siônita!" |
Anita thinks that they should have called themselves ‘Siônita’ to improve her chances.
Brenda continues, “Mind you, I don’t think everyone would find them so glamorous if they knew what I’ve heard. It’s probably just gossip, and it might not be true.”
 |
| "You know that brothel on Boncath Road?" |
Garry has now become interested, and Brenda alleges, “You know that brothel on Boncath Road? Well, my friend Hattie lives opposite and she swears that she’s seen Lisa coming and going regularly. She recognised her straightaway when she was canvassing for Hywel.”
 |
| "Get away!" |
“Get away!” exclaims Anita, and Garry points out that gossip like that is dangerous. Siôn suggests that perhaps she is a cleaner there, which causes some amusement.
 |
| Iolo is working on the computer |
Iolo is working on a spreadsheet when Tyler returns from his sojourn in London;
 |
| "Are you going to ask me how it went?" |
“Are you going to ask me how it went?” says Tyler, but there is no reply,
 |
| "I passed!" |
so he continues, “I passed!”
|
| "Well done" |
“Well done,” mutters Iolo, enthusiastically, “Greta is with Kelly, as I had to do these accounts – she offered to babysit.”
 |
| "Gaynor's coming over after school" |
Tyler is about to go and fetch her when Iolo tells him, “We need to talk about something before you go – Gaynor’s coming over after school – they’ve found out that Aaron is responsible for the ‘memes’. He admitted everything to Ffion.”
 |
| "Don't tell me you've been interfering!" |
“Don’t tell me you’ve been interfering!” rages Tyler, “You knew I didn’t want anyone to know!”
 |
| "The school had to know, Ty!" |
Iolo insists that the school had to know; he is considering leaving the country because of these ‘memes’.
 |
| Tyler flounces off upstairs |
“Not just because of that,” Tyler snarls, and he goes upstairs.
Anita says that if the rumour is true, she is glad Lisa was not part of her campaign,
 |
| "Look who's arrived!" |
and at that moment, Lisa, looking very smart, walks into the Deri, saying that she is looking forward to the results.
 |
| "I hope people voted for – the right person" |
Anita remarks, “I hope people voted for – well – the right person.”
Brenda adds that people do not always do that; “After all, people don’t really know you –
 |
| "They don't know about every skelton in your boudoir" |
“they don’t know about every skeleton in your boudoir, do they?” Lisa says that she is not standing anyway.
Brenda goes on, “But you and Hywel are like some kind of package deal, aren’t you?”
 |
| "Lemons are full of viruses" |
Lisa orders a G&T without lemon, commenting that lemons are full of viruses after being handled by people.
Brenda is really getting into her stride now;
 |
| "You've got to be careful with anything that a lot of people have handled" |
“Yes, you’ve got to be careful with anything a lot of people have handled, haven’t you? Who knows where those hands have been.”
 |
| "Hywel has won!" |
Lisa’s phone sounds, and, looking at it, she says, “Well, skeletons in the boudoir or not, Hywel has won – never mind Anita – there’s always next time.”
 |
| "If you'd been honest from the start . . ." |
Gaynor is at number 7, where she admonishes Tyler, “If you’d been honest from the start, we could have sorted this out far quicker.”
 |
| "I didn't want anyone to know about it" |
He explains that he did not want anyone to know about it, and remind people of that business with Aled.
 |
| "The only one who looks bad is Aaron Monk" |
“The only one who looks bad in all this is Aaron Monk, not you!” Gaynor insists, “You’re one of the best and most popular teachers I have, and I’m not prepared to lose you over this.”
 |
| "You're not going to change my mind!" |
Tyler appreciates her confidence, but informs her, “You’re not going to change my mind!”
 |
| "Think about it before you make any decision" |
She advises him to think about it before he makes any decision, and she leaves the house.
 |
| "See, everyone is trying to help" |
“You see,” says Iolo, “Everyone is trying to help,” but Tyler is adamant that he does not need help;
 |
| "I want to start where people don't think I'm a perv!" |
he is just fed up with Cwmderi, and wants to start over somewhere people do not think he is a perv.
 |
| "Ive got an interview next week" |
“I’ve got an interview next week – I’ll know after that whether I can go to Buenos Aires or not,” he tells Iolo.
 |
| Sioned is about to start drinking again |
Sioned is at Penrhewl and looks in the fridge, where she finds a part bottle of wine, which she is about to drink;
 |
| The farm dogs are barking outside . . . |
she hears the farm dogs barking, and is very worried. She cannot see anyone outside,
 |
| . . . and she is becoming paranoid . . . |
but is becoming desperate, so takes some tablets from her bag and swallows one,
 |
| . . . so pours some wine to wash down the tablet |
washed down with the wine.
 |
| Hywel takes Lisa to an upmarket restaurant |
Lisa and Hywel arrive at an upper class restaurant, which Lisa describes as more classy than the Deri, and are shown to their table.
 |
| "The fish is very good here" |
“The fish is very good here,” says Hywel knowledgeably, then receives a text on his phone.
 |
| "How much do I pay for Lisa on Boncath Road?" |
He looks puzzled, as the message is from a number he does not recognise; “It asks how much I pay for Lisa on Boncath Road – I don’t understand. Is that where that brothel was in Carmarthen?”
 |
| "I think I'll have the sea bass" |
Lisa is anxious to change the subject, and thinks she will have the sea bass;
 |
| "Why would someone send me something like that?" |
he is still wondering, “Why would someone send me something like that?”
 |
| "I have no idea, Hywel" |
and when she says she has no idea, he does not believe her.
She enlightens him that the term these days is ‘sex worker’,
 |
| "A bottle of champagne, please" |
and asks the waiter for a bottle of champagne, while Hywel is looking very sternly at her. “We’re celebrating the result of the election,” she says,
 |
| Hywel finds this rather unsettling |
and Hywel is looking very uneasy.
 |
| "Is Tyler not with you?" |
Iolo is at the Deri, and Gaynor is surprised that Tyler is not with him;
 |
| "Thanks for trying to make him see sense" |
“Look, thanks for coming over to try and make him see sense – I don’t know what to do.” She appreciates that he has had a few difficult weeks, and once things settle down, she is sure that he will change his mind.
 |
| "Do you think he'll guess we sent it?" |
Further along the bar, Anita is nervous, and asks Brenda, “Do you think Lisa will guess that we sent it?”
 |
| "This is a 'Burner Phone'!" |
Brenda replies, “This is a ‘Burner Phone’, which is what they call cheap phones without a contract in the films. You can’t trace them,” but Anita is still not sure about this.
 |
| "What if your friend made a mistake?" |
“What if your friend made a mistake and Lisa doesn’t work there?” she wonders, but is told that it is too late now, as the message has already been sent.
 |
| Gwen has joined the Writing Club |
Siôn calls for the attention of the Writing Club, which tonight includes Gwen;
 |
| "Scandi Noir Thriller!" |
“As you know, we have a different theme for tonight’s Writing Club. It’s what’s known as a ‘Scandi Noir Thriller’! Now one of the reasons this theme is relevant to us in Wales is that Wales is also a land of mystery, secrets and legends.”
 |
| "You might become a councillor after all" |
Brenda encourages Anita not to be miserable, as she might become the councillor after all.
 |
| Sioned gets the jam everywhere except in the jars |
At Penrhewl, Sioned, under the influence of the wine and the drugs, is making a complete hash of pouring jam into the jars, directly from the preserving pan. She takes another swig of the wine,
 |
| The answer is to start on a bottle of Cae Glas wine . . . |
then finds a bottle of Cae Glas organic wine;
 |
| . . supplemented by a couple more tablets |
she swallows another couple of tablets,
 |
| She is really getting stuck into this wine . . . |
washing them down with copious quantities of the Cae Glas product,
 |
| . . . a does not feel quite herself |
and now finds it difficult to stand up.
 |
| "Brynawelon's fees are £700 a week!" |
Lisa continues to explain, “It’s not ideal – but Brynawelon’s fees are over £700 a week. I’m proud of the fact I can make Mam’s life comfortable.”
 |
| "Why didn't you tell me?" |
He is looking increasingly uneasy, and leans forward to demand, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
 |
| "It's not the kind of thing you just blurt out" |
She alleges that she intended to tell him, but explains it is not the kind of thing which you just blurt out.
“I know it’s a lot to take in, but my relationship with my clients is completely different to our relationship,” she goes on, and he looks very glad about that. She adds, “I don't kiss them, for a start – they choose which service they want and . . .”
 |
| "I don't want to hear the details" |
Hywel stops her there, as he does not want to hear the details; “Have you been with someone I know, then?” he demands, “I heard that Dai and Colin were caught there.”
 |
| "I don't divulge their identities" |
She will not divulge the identity of her clients, and he growls, “Great – so I won’t know who’s laughing at me now –
 |
| "I don't know who will want to compare notes!" |
“or who will want to compare notes!”
Lisa accuses him of being childish, and wonders why anyone would want to laugh at him;
 |
| "I'm a councillor going out with a prostitute!" |
he answers tersely, “Because I’m a county councillor who’s going out with a prostitute!”
 |
| "I'm very good at my job!" |
She warns him not to judge her, maintaining that she is very careful and is good at her job; “What I mean is that a lot just want someone to listen to them – they’re lonely and they want company,” she tells him, as Hywel sits there, open-mouthed. He wonders in that case why they do not buy a dog.
 |
| "If you don't like it, you pay the fees! |
Lisa’s attitude changes; “If you don’t like what I do, you pay the fees for Brynawelon, and I’ll stop!” Hywel seems concerned that everyone in the room is looking at him.
 |
| Eileen finds the kitchen in a shambles |
Eileen returns home with Huwi and finds the kitchen in a state of disarray;
 |
| "Sioned!" |
“Sioned!” she exclaims, but she does not appear to be in the house. “We can’t rely on your sister to do anything!” she grumbles to Huwi, “Look at this mess!”
 |
| "Why are you so proud of what you do?" |
Hywel cannot understand why Lisa is so proud of what she does, and she wonders if he would find it easier if she felt ashamed and pleaded for forgiveness. “I’m a county councillor now– admittedly, partly thanks to you.”
 |
| "Things don't have to change between us" |
She is of the opinion that this does not have to change things between them, as she likes him.
 |
| "I don't think its a good idea to see each other again" |
He laughs and suggests, “I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to see each other again – I did enjoy your company, before I found out the truth. I can’t be seen with someone like you, Lisa. How have you degraded yourself so much?”
 |
| "Don't worry _ I'm leaving!" |
She realises that now the truth is coming out; “Your narrow, middle class opinions reveal themselves. Don’t worry – I’m leaving!” She gets up and informs him, “I’m not going to let someone like you look down on me! Don’t flatter yourself to think I enjoyed your company –
 |
| Hell hath no fury . . . |
“the only thing I wanted from you was cash, but you’re not worth the hassle! I hated every second I was with you –
 |
| "No wonder Ffion upgraded – to your son" |
“no wonder Ffion upgraded – to your son!”
 |
| She pours wine down his shirt |
As her parting shot, she pours half a glass of red wine down the front of his shirt,
 |
| "Oh – whoops!' |
and remarks, “Oops!” Hywel is embarrassed by the stares of the other diners.
 |
| "Skål!" |
The Writing Club are getting into the Scandinavian swing as they all say, “Skål!” [‘cheers’ in Norwegian] and down their drinks, which appear to be rather potent.
 |
| Brenda has some more smut prepared |
Siôn says it is time for another story, and of course Brenda volunteers.
 |
| "I'm afraid I made a mistake, Mr Sneddon" |
Gaynor receives a call on her phone from Mr Sneddon; she gives the excuse that it seems she made a mistake. “We’ve increased the rent for the hall by £400 –
 |
| "I hope that's all right with you" |
“I hope that’s all right with you.” It appears that she has got Izzy off the hook,
 |
| She is not looking very happy |
but she does not look very happy about it.
 |
| "Swimming naked in the lake" |
Returning to the Writing Club, Brenda is coming out with her usual material; “One night when he was swimming naked in the lake in the moonlight with Ulrika, he knew that the time had come. He didn’t love her any more; he reached for the knife that was nearby, and stuck it straight into her heart.”
 |
| Unenthusiastic applause |
The other members applaud her, in a half-hearted fashion,
 |
| "Time for the Surströmming!" |
and Siôn considers that it is time for the Surströmming; “It will be served on flatbread with new potatoes, onions, dill, and a little crème fraîche. But first we have to remove the air.”
 |
| He reaches into the bucket of water . . . |
He rolls up his sleeves and reaches into the bucket of water to open the tin,
 |
| . . . only to release a loathsome stench . . . |
immediately releasing an overwhelmingly repulsive odour,
 |
| . . . which offends their nostrils |
which they all find quite unbearable.
 |
| "Siôn, you're not opening that!" |
“Siôn, you’re not opening that!” orders Garry,
 |
| "I've smelled better drains than that, Dad!" |
and Iolo says that he has smelled better drains than that. Siôn rapidly carries it outside.
 |
| Huwi is very placid |
At Penrhewl, Eileen is in the process of clearing up the mess when there is a knock at the door;
 |
| Jessie pays a visit to Penrhewl |
it is Jessie, otherwise known as Kirsty. She is sorry to arrive unannounced;
 |
| "I can't get hold of Sioned" |
“I’m looking for Sioned, but I can’t get hold of her.” Eileen says that she is not there, but Kirsty is very eager to contact Sioned,
 |
| "I have a business idea for her" |
she has a business idea which may interest her.
 |
| "She's staying with a friend in London" |
Eileen suspects something is not right, so maintains that Sioned is in London, staying with a friend – it was a last-minute thing. As Kirsty is about to leave, she says, “One more thing before I go –
 |
| "Remind her not to go to the police" |
“can you remind your daughter when you talk to her next, not to go to the police?”
 |
| In her dazed state, Sioned staggers into a barn |
Sioned is in one of the barns, and ominous music sounds; she staggers unsteadily towards a metal gate in a disoriented state; the world appears to her to be going round.
 |
| Eileen tries to contact her |
Eileen desperately attempts to contact her, but has to leave a message, urging Sioned to phone back, stressing that it is urgent.
 |
| Sioned is completely disorientated |
Sioned is finding it increasingly difficult to stand, and is staring upwards at the trees,
 |
| The trees are going round |
which appeared to be going around in circles.
Now Eileen is talking to someone else on the phone, convinced that something is wrong and Sioned is in trouble, but she has gone missing.
 |
| She ends up unconscious in the straw |
As a black car leaves the farmyard, we see that Sioned is now lying motionless in the straw.
