your father
you're sorry
I'm not sorry
I am with you We can find lodgings
in the village
Gwilym
All of you, then?
For the last time, sit down,
finish your supper
I will say no more
We are not questioning
your authority, sir,
but if manners prevent
our speaking the truth,
we will be
without manners
Get your clothes and go
I am going with them
to look after them
Hold your tongue, girl!
Get on with your dishes!
[Clink]
[Clink]
Ah-choo!
Yes, my son
I know you are there
The men have struck
[Bells Ringing]
What does it mean,
Mr. Gruffydd?
It means that
something has gone
out of this valley
that may never
be replaced
Home to your father
and mother, boy
They'll
need you today
22 weeks the men were out,
as the strike
moved into winter
It was strange to go
out into the street
and find the men there
in the daytime
It had a feeling
of fright in it,
and always the mood of the men
grew uglier,
as empty bellies
and desperation
began to conquer reason
Any man
who was not their friend
became their enemy
They knew that my father
had opposed the strike,
and now it was they
who opposed him
[Glass Breaks]
[Smack]
Huw,
there's a meeting
of the men
in the hills
tonight, is it?
Yes, Mama
You will
take me there
Oh, no, Mama
It is no place for women
There's a place for this woman
there tonight
upon my soul
Wait,
wait till you hear me
I am Beth Morgan,
as you damn well know
I have come to tell you
what I think of you all
because you're talking
against my husband!
You're a lot of cowards
to go against him!
He would do
nothing against you,
and you know it well!
How some of you,
you smug-faced hypocrites,
can sit
in the same chapel with him
I cannot tell
To say he's with the owners
is not only nonsense,
but downright wickedness!
There's one thing more
I've got to say,
and it is this...
if harm comes to my Gwilym,
I'll find out the men,
and I will kill them
with my two hands,
and this I will swear
by God Almighty!
[Murmuring]
Lanto, help!
Help!
Help! Help!
Hold on, Mama!
They've heard us!
They're coming!
Ahh
He was awake just now
Shh
He'll do, then
But it's beyond me
to say why!
You're breeding horses
in this family,
Mr. Morgan
Ha!
This boy should be
in his coffin,
for my part
He's a Morgan,
then, is it, sir?
Eh
He should be fed now,
Mrs. Ivor...
a little soup and some
warm smile
Ahhh
Ahhh
Yes
Ah!
Horse!
Well, good day
Wait, wait, wait
Huw was awake
He spoke to Bron
How long
for the little one?
It's hard to tell
His legs were
frozen to the bone
A year, two year
like that
but I can't promise
he'll ever walk again!
Nature must take
her course!
Mind your tongue!
I think he heard you
Where is the light
I thought to see in your eye?
Are you afraid, boy?
Hmm?
You heard
what the doctor said?
Yes, sir
And you believed it?
Yes, sir
You want to walk again,
don't you?
Yes, sir
Then you must have faith,
and if you have,
you will walk again
no matter what
all the doctors say
But he said nature
must take her course
"Nature is the handmaiden
of the Lord"
I remember
one or two occasions
when she was given orders
to change her course
You know
your scriptures, boy
Yes, sir
Then you know that
what's been done before
can be done again...
for you
Do you
believe me, Huw?
Yes, sir
Good
You will see
the first daffodil
out on the mountain
Will you?
Indeed I will, sir
Then you will
I could almost wish
that I were lying there
in your place,
if it meant
reading this book again
for the first time
Treasure
Island
Mr. Gruffydd?
I couldn't let you go
without thanking you
It was only
my duty, girl
No It was more
than duty
Yes, Huw's a fine boy,
and you're
a fine family
Um, you'd better be going in now
You'll catch your death
Yes
Will you be coming
to supper soon?
Uh, yes, later,
when you're finished with
doctors and such, huh?
I will hurry them
away, then
Good
"Squire
