Original subtitles

[Basil] New Trefelin,

a bigger and better new town to be built

right here, right where we're standing, in the place of the old.

She doesn't want to be with me, that's what's making her sick!

She's not sick. She's having a baby!

[Robert] It's not too late, you know...

For you and me to be together.

what?

You've won the pools.

Ten thousand pounds.

This new town, Sian,

is an absolute gold mine.

All they have to do to secure a deposit for a brand new house

is hand me the deeds to their old property.

And they'll be sitting on a small fortune.

This was Mum's house.

- I don't want a new one. - Dan!

I'm not listening to another word.

Come on, Owen! You must come now.

[Owen] Stand back!

[colliery siren]

[miner] Boys, boys!

somebody's got to help me now.

C'mon hurry up, hurry up!

Prem? Yeah, it's Emlyn.

They've found Owen.

Yeah, the rescue boys are making the tunnel safe now.

Yes, they'll bring him up soon.

Thought you may want to be here...

Yes, I, I, I understand.

I'll be there shortly.

Thank you.

That was Emlyn. He's at the mine.

Owen?

They haven't brought him up yet.

The rescue team have been there for hours.

They have to make sure the tunnel is absolutely safe first.

I have to get back there.

There are formalities to complete.

I had a lot of time to think down the mine, Kamini.

You deserve better than this life I've given you,

and I'm going to make it up to you. I promise.

I've got you.

That's all that matters, Prem.

[Dan] This is all his fault, isn't it?

- Who? - Dad.

I hate him.

Dan.

Leave him to me, Prem.

I don't want him thinking like that,

not on top of everything else he's going through.

He doesn't. He's just lashing out.

I think we both know that.

You didn't speak to me for weeks when Rani died.

But it passes, all that...

anger...

It'll be the same for him, and then he'll heal...

Like we did.

[Robert] Is this my fault?

- What? - What happened to Griffiths.

- What makes you say that? - He wouldn't have been

down that mine if I hadn't given him those pills.

Pills you practically begged me to give him.

Griffiths rather did the begging himself

from what you told me.

It was an accident, Robert.

A simple, tragic, accident.

Yes, but that's not the point.

You can't blame yourself for any of it.

He was only down there because of me.

And if you'd stopped him working and he'd been out

in the village and been hit by a truck,

that would have been your fault too, would it?

No, of course not.

No.

These things, Robert,

- they're just... - What?

Acts of God?

In a manner of speaking. Yes.

Excuse me...

They're still working on the supports.

Any idea how much longer they'll be?

I think that rather depends.

Depends on what?

On whether they find any more explosives.

What?

That tunnel didn't collapse all by itself.

Somebody blew it up.

Emlyn...

[Graham] This wasn't supposed to happen, Basil,

A man was not supposed to die.

We're in trouble here. Real trouble.

[Basil] Actually, you're the one in trouble.

You being the one who planted that device.

- On your say-so. - I rather think

that's your word against mine, don't you?

So what are you saying?

I'm saying, don't panic.

Keep your mouth shut.

And then maybe, just maybe,

I won't throw you to the wolves.

They're not going to be content with just checking

for a few supports now, you know?

[Graham] They'll go over that whole mine

- with a fine tooth comb. - [Basil] Possibly.

How can you be so calm about this?

And then they'll start looking for

the person or persons responsible.

And we all know who that is, don't we?

Yes. Me and you.

And they'll know too,

once you tell them who you saw making off

with that dynamite from the store.

Daf and Aled.

Do that and everything will be fine.

Don't, and you'll be the first person

to suffer the consequences.

I'll make absolutely sure of it.

[Prem] I can't believe somebody would do something like this.

Basil Thomas said it himself.

First the New Town model, then the telephone kiosk.

What will Daf and Aled do next?

Daf and Aled?!

Singing silly songs,

marching around with banners, yes, but,

you seriously think they are capable of doing something like this?

I don't know what to think, Prem. Not anymore.

That's the God's honest truth.

Winston, pass me that a second.

Thanks boy.

Rescue boys found this.

- Eh, It's Owen's. - Yes...

If I could find out where those explosives came from

it'd be a start.

I'm going to check the stores again.

[Robert] You killed Owen Griffiths!

- [Basil] No, an accident. - Why do it in the first place?

Why blow up that mine anyway?

A business matter, it doesn't concern you...

Business? What sort of business?

My sort, no-one else's.

Not when everyone finds out what you've done.

[laughing] We'll be long gone before then.

Long gone? This is our home now.

We've made plans, the New Town.

There is no New Town, is there?

I made you a promise too, remember?

When you turned up on my doorstep,

in a blind panic, about to be struck off,

nowhere to go, no-one to turn to,

I promised that I'd look after you,and I did.

And that's all that matters, my promise to you.

[whispers] Brother to brother.

Now.

You just sit here.

I've got to go and see some people,

and in a few hours, when I return,

it'll all be over.

[gasps]

No-one's going to believe you weren't a part of this too, Robert.

You're in this up to your neck as well.

[sobs]

[Ceri] This is terrible.

[Sian] Absolutely awful.

Poor, poor Dan.

I'll have to cancel his paper.

I wish we could all get in that time machine

on the telly.

Go back to how everything was.

What time machine?

The Doctor's.

What Doctor?

Not what.

Who.

Oh, I'm not in the mood for this, Ceri,

I'm really not.

Basil.

Have you heard? About Owen?

I can't believe it.

I simply can't believe it.

I'll have to cancel his Pigeon Post too.

Really brings it home, doesn't it?

How everything can be snatched away from you

just like that.

Indeed.

Makes you thankful for what you've got.

Makes you want to hang onto it too.

I'm sorry, Basil.

For what?

I know this probably sounds silly,

and you're going to be cross with me, but,

I've changed my mind.

I'm not going for that big new house

and the brand new shop.

I'm sticking with what I've got.

And as I said,

I'm going to be thankful for it too.

So if you could drop my deeds back,

I'd be very grateful.

[Gragam] That store's hardly my responsibility, Sergeant.

No, no, I'm aware of that.

Lots of people have access to it.

And I'm talking to each and every one of them

to find out if they've seen anything unusual lately.

- [Graham] Unusual? - [Emlyn] Yes.

People lurking nearby.

People who shouldn't be there, anything suspicious really.

Actually I was going to mention that.

- Mention what? - Well, I did see two men,

Daf and Aled, I believe they're called,

around the store a couple of days ago.

Running away from it in fact.

And I did an inventory afterwards

and there was actually some dynamite missing as well.

Four in fact.

You were going to mention it?

What? Yes.

- Why didn't you then? - Well...

Slipped your mind, did it?

Better things to do, is it?

It was going to be in my report.

And the little matter of explosives

being stolen from your store

didn't strike you as being serious enough

to inform the police?

Only it sounds pretty serious to me.

And I'm sure you'd feel the same if you'd seen a man die

because some lunatic went and let the whole lot off!

Aled Williams and Daf Jones, was it?

- Yes. - And you'd be willing

to identify them?

Yes.

I'd better go and see them then.

I'll be back here for your formal statement later on.

Yes, Doctor Robert Thomas...

But...

So that means he left your practice,

what, just over a month ago?

I'm sorry, what do you mean, he didn't leave, exactly?

A-ha. Ah.

What kind of disciplinary matter was it?

[Robert] Megan.

Robert? What's wrong?

- It's all gone wrong. - What?

I have to leave now, I just can't stay here...

Robert, what on Earth is going on?

Meet me at the train station.

Look. I've got you a ticket.

Please, Megan. Don't let me down too.

[running footsteps]

[Sian] I'll be with you now...

Oh, Basil...

Sian.

Sian, listen,

I understand, really, I do.

This has all been such a shock.

And, for me too.

I obviously didn't know Owen

anywhere near as well as you and the rest of the village.

But I've lost people too, people close to me.

My dear, sweet, wife for one.

Well, as you know.

So I know now's really not the time

to make a decision like this,

Any sort of decision, really.

Look, why don't you give it twenty four hours?

Sleep on it?

And if you still feel the same in the morning,

we'll cancel everything.

How does that sound?

Alright, twenty four hours.

Alright...

[Mrs. Williams] Whatever happened up at the mine

has got nothing to do with those boys.

You know what they're like. They talk a lot,

yes, but it's just a lot of hot air. They're not bad boys.

Most of the time they just potter around in here.

Oh, Emlyn...

So this is what they call pottering, is it?

Only I call it something else.

I call it sabotage.

If not murder.

And so will the judge.

Your father wanted the best for you.

That's all this was about.

[Basil] Last chance, ladies and gentlemen,

your very last chance, this really is it.

Our offer to exchange your deeds for

a deposit on a brand new house must end today.

Another hour or two at the absolute most.

I beg you from the bottom of my heart

don't waste this opportunity of a life time.

Final day.

Don't delay...

Sir, please. Come on. Come in.

So, you've worked out what they are?

Amphetamines. Prescribed to Owen by Doctor Robert Thomas.

What kind of Doctor prescribes amphetamines

for a man with a heart condition?

I rang his old surgery to find out.

He was suspended over a month ago, for prescription misuse.

- And he's done it again? - He was suspended, Kamini.

It's criminally negligent.

And it might have a direct bearing on the cause

of Owen's death too.

I need to have a word with Doctor Thomas.

[Emlyn] Now then,

for the record,

do either of you two boys know what this is?

Dynamite.

[Emlyn] [WRITING] One of the suspects

immediately recognised

the explosive

found in his accomplice's

garden shed.

Look, alright. We did use one stick of dynamite on the phone box.

We didn't mean to, we meant to blow up the sign.

But that was an accident.

What about the other sticks?

- What other sticks? - The ones you put down the mine

I suppose that was an accident too, was it?

We didn't put any down the mine.

- 'Course we didn't. - We had two, we put one

by the sign and left one in the bag.

- By the phone box. - But then something went wrong

with the trail we'd lit. And the next thing we knew

- it was coming back towards us. - So we ran.

And then we realised we'd left one in the bag.

With the other stick of dynamite in it.

And the next thing we knew...

Boom.

You don't believe us, do you?

There's an old saying.

The first rule of policing, some people say,

If it looks like a duck,

and if it quacks like a duck,

Chances are, that it's a -

Is it a duck?

And you two boys look like a pair of dead ducks to me.

Wow, wow, wait, wait, wait!

Why would we do it, Constable, Sergeant Dawkins?

We're on the side of the working man.

Why would we blow up the mine?

How would we even get down there to plant a bomb?

[door closes]

Donkey...

Oh yes, well it's perfect for a family of your size.

A lovely spot, one of the best,

if not the very best.

Excuse me, ladies.

That copper's been sniffing round.

Of course he has, a serious crime's been committed.

- He's onto us, I'm sure he is. - Did you say

- what I told you to say? - Of course I did.

That you saw Daf and Aled running away from the dynamite store?

- Yes. - And what happened?

Well, he went off to investigate.

Perfect.

Now will you stop panicking.

Everything's going to be fine.

- Have you heard? - Heard what, Sian?

- The mine... - What about it?

It wasn't a collapse, it was deliberate.

Good heavens.

Sabotage.

Really?

Who would do such a thing?

Daf and Aled.

Really?

Emlyn's already arrested them.

They're in the police station with him now.

[Megan] Prem!

I need to talk to you, in confidence.

Sorry, Megan, it'll have to wait. I have to see Dr. Thomas.

Actually, this is about Doctor Thomas.

He just came to see me. He was in a terrible state.

He kept on saying how he had to leave,

go away, how everything had gone wrong.

What did he mean?

I couldn't get anything else out of him.

But he dropped these -

He needs help, Prem, I know he does,

he's in trouble, big trouble, I wouldn't ask otherwise.

- Do you know where he is? - No.

I know where he will be though.

Why just two sticks?

What?

You took just two sticks of dynamite,

that's what you said.

Why not more?

You were there,

you were in the store,

you must have felt like kids in a sweetshop.

We didn't have time to get any more.

- That Inspector... - Graham.

He suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

We didn't expect anyone from the mine to be there,

not at that time of night.

So we just grabbed what we could and ran.

[Basil] Mrs. Sharma.

Kamini.

I was wondering if you'd had a chance

to discuss the job offer with your husband.

Only if there are any questions you'd like answering,

I'm sure I could help.

Actually I do have one question, Mr. Thomas.

- Fire away. - Are you aware

that your brother has been prescribing

unlicensed and harmful prescriptions?

That's a very serious allegation, Mrs. Sharma.

I have evidence.

Perhaps you'd like to discuss this somewhere less public?

[Basil] Well, I'm shocked, of course.

So you really didn't know?

Totally shocked,

if it's true, of course.

There was no doubt according to his last practice.

Well, there we are, his last practice.

- What do you mean? - I know Robert's methods

did sometimes attract rather a lot of...

how shall I put this... professional jealousy?

Let me show you the pills your brother prescribed, Mr. Thomas.

I doubt they'd provoke too much in the way of professional jealousy.

Dr. Thomas.

Doctor Sharma.

You prescribed amphetamines to Owen Griffiths.

Griffiths was my patient, that's confidential.

That medication was unlicensed and therefore illegal

and I will be listing it as a contributory factor

when I complete the death certificate.

What's 'gone wrong' Doctor Thomas?

That's what you told Megan, wasn't it?

That you had to 'get away',

that you 'couldn't stay here' any longer?

Was it just to do with Owen's death or there is something else?

I had nothing to do with that.

- With what? - That bomb.

[Prem] So who did?

[yells] Who did, Doctor Thomas?

Tell him, Robert.

If you know anything about

what happened, tell Prem.

I could have lost my husband last night.

The father of the baby I'm carrying.

[Megan] Please, Robert, tell him.

Basil would never have done anything like that,

not if he'd have known people's lives were at risk...

But he did. Didn't he?

[Basil] I assure you, Mrs. Sharma, Robert is a man of integrity.

[Kamini] They would have had no reason to lie.

[Basil] I'm not saying they're lying, Mrs. Sharma,

but I think we should keep this between ourselves for the moment.

Most unusual, Mrs. Sharma, most unusual. I'll make some enquiries.

I don't pretend to understand the medical side of things, of course,

but I will get to the bottom of this.

You have my word.

Dan! What's that?

- Mr. Thomas's file. - How did you get that?

I just took it from his briefcase.

- Dan, you mustn't do that! - But look!

There are some things in here I don't understand.

I was liaising with the rescue people.

You're here for my statement, yes?

No, I've come to ask you a couple of questions.

First. Are you absolutely sure

that four sticks of dynamite are missing?

- Four. - Because Daf and Aled

insist that they only took two.

Second question.

Perhaps you can explain where this little lot came from.

You got the house deeds?

Have you got my money?

I didn't sign everyone up, but,

there should be enough there to serve your purposes.

And the mine isn't going to be a problem either.

[Basil] Imagine. In a few short months

all of this will be gone.

No more slag heaps,

no miserable little terraces,

- just... - Is this some kind of joke?

- What? - Because if it is,

it really isn't as good idea.

Deliver me enough land to build my motorway,

- that's what I said. - And I have.

No, you've delivered me the results of a urine sample

- for a Miss Gina Jones. - What?

Sorry. There's been a bit of mix-up.

These are Robert's, my brother.

He's a doctor.

I'll just pop back and get the right file.

We'll wait here for you, Basil.

For...

one hour.

And then we'll come and find you.

Ready.

Or not.

[engine starts]

Mr. Thomas...

Prem.

I'm looking for Basil. According to his brother,

he was responsible for the mine explosion.

Though, I'm no clearer as to why.

This may explain things.

- Where did you get this? - Dan found it

in Mr. Thomas's briefcase.

There's no New Town, There never was.

Find Emlyn. Tell him about this.

Tell him to get Robert, he's at the station with Megan.

I have got to find Basil.

So...

what are you going to do?

I don't know. There isn't a lot to stay for. Not now.

You're going to run away, again?

Pretend all this never happened.

That's what you normally do.

Or are you going to face up to things for once?

[whstle]

Tell my husband what you've just told me and Prem.

Do you know what you're asking?

Yes.

You're saying testify against my brother.

I'm saying, tell the truth.

[whistle]

Get your things, we've got to go!

Now!

[Basil] Robert!

All these homes.

All these livelihoods ruined.

Not for some bogus new town promise,

but for a motorway.

A grey open wound across this beautiful countryside

It's called progress, Dr. Sharma.

And anyway,

that's just a proposal,

a feasibility exercise, nothing more.

It doesn't mean it's actually going to happen.

Oh, I'm sure it isn't now.

But that was never the point, was it?

You were merely deceiving everybody out of their deeds,

so that you could line your own pockets...

No.

I've been inviting people to invest,

and every investment always carries with it

a certain element of risk, of course.

You also tried to make sure the Coal Board

would have no objection by sabotaging their mine.

[laughs] Oh, Dr. Sharma, really?

From what I hear, you came pretty close.

- And, who said that? - Actually, I was hoping that

you'd display some spark of common decency

and admit that yourself.

No-one said it.

And no-one will. And you know why?

Because this is all nonsense. Stuff and nonsense.

And it certainly won't stand up in a court of law.

On its own, perhaps not.

But with a credible witness...

- Like your brother. - Robert?

[laughs] Dr. Sharma.

Robert hardly knows what day it is most of the time.

He's already told me your part in this.

Yes, well he's sick.

He's an addict, doesn't know what he's saying.

You really think a judge would take his word over mine?

A friend of mine died last night.

At your hands.

Rubbish.

Oh, you might not have been there,

but he died because of you nonetheless.

I am not a murderer.

So you are going nowhere until a Court

decides whether to believe you or your brother.

I am leaving, Doctor Sharma, right now.

No, Mr. Thomas.

You are not.

Very well.

Let's see,

if this changes your mind?

No, it doesn't.

Do you think I won't use it? Because I will.

You really don't believe me?

No, I do believe you, that's the whole point.

What?

You said so yourself.

Stay where you are.

Just a moment ago.

I'm warning you.

You said you weren't a murderer.

And I believe you.

Put that down, Mr. Thomas.

I said, put it down!

[Robert] For God's sake, Basil.

Enough.

Brother?

[screams]

[amused murmur]

Can I have a bit of hush, please?

Can I have a bit of hush?

Shhhhhhhh!

Tawelwch!

Before the presentation,

I need to propose a few toasts...

[groaning murmur]

Firstly, to myself.

[all laugh] Well, if I hadn't put down

those little crosses

you would not be having

a free drink this evening.

[excited murmur] What? Just the one?

Next, Sian,

who graciously agreed to be my next of kin.

[wolf-whistling]

For telephone purposes only! [chuckles]

And she will be taking charge of the presentation tonight.

But, erm, more importantly,

much more important,

it's great to see Dan here.

- Your dad was a good man. - [crowd] Yes.

And remember Dan,

we're all family here.

[murmur of agreement]

[cheering]

Oh, Megan, Emlyn, grab a drink...

Oh, no, not for me, thanks.

Oh, come on Megan.

It's a celebration.

No, just to be on the safe side...

Safe side?

I'm pregnant.

I'm going to be a dad!

[cheering]

The third toast.

Megan, Emlyn, and Megan is up the duff!!

[enthusiastic cheering]

[kissing and giggling]

[Kamini] You're missing all the fun in the pub.

[Prem] I'm having a lot more fun right here!

[telephone rings]

Oh...

Aren't you going to answer that?

You kidding? It might be your mother.

It might be an emergency.

C'mon, I'll still be here...

If it is your mother, I'm going to tell her that

you've left me for that Maharishi...

[she laughs]

Dr. Prem Sherma speaking...

Oh, yes, yes how can I help you?

I'm sorry, could you say that again, please?

Attention, attention.

We have now come to the main event of the evening, friends.

And I pass over the rest of the proceedings

to my great friend

Lady Sian Trefelin Davies.

The photographer from the paper's here now,

so in the absence of a Pool's official,

we thought it best, I do the honours.

- Letter? - Letter?

[Sian] Letter.

Oh, letter!

[laughter]

Dear Mr. Joseph!

That's me, that's me!

[applause]

Congratulations on your win!

[cheering and applause]

I have great pleasure in announcing

that the jackpot this week was...

ten...

thousand pounds!

[cheering and applause]

As part of a successful winning syndicate

with one thousand members,

that makes your share...

Ten pounds!

[all] Aww...

Ten pounds.

[Ceri] Ten...

Don't spend it all at once now Ceri.

[laughter]

[Ceri] Well, at least I can

buy everyone a drink.

[cheering]

Erm, not really, because your bar tab

is at least 12 pounds already.

Can anyone lend me a few quid? [laughter]

You should go double or quits, Cer!!

Stick it all on England to win the World Cup next month.

Wouldn't waste my money boy!

Everything alright?

I've just been offered a job.

A job? Where?

Well, they gave me several options.

but all of them are rather a long way away from here.

Leave Trefelin? What did you say?

I said, I'd tell them in the morning.

That I had to discuss it with my wife first.

So, let's discuss it, shall we?
