That reservoir displaced people.

My father was trying to stop it in the '90s.

They want to do it again?

Our land! Our water!

At least someone's still fighting.

Someone's persuaded Mrs Lewis not to sell up.

You win some, you lose some.

And she will lose.

Llyr Owen.

I was wondering if you wouldn't mind talking to me about him?

Sorry, Caryl.

I can't help you.

You owe me some answers.

You owe me some answers. I owe you nothing.

Why did you say those things in court? I need to know.

I've heard mutterings about Rhys Owen being fitted up.

Good thing I know you're a jobsworth...

..or I might think you were picking on me.

His fingerprints were on the murder weapon.

Murder weapon?

Murder weapon? He was brutally attacked.

It was a set of bolt cutters.

You shouldn't have come back here.

I didn't kill Llyr.

I loved him.

That's Alan Owen, my grandfather on my father's side.

That's his brother, Bryn.

Bryn?!

He didn't even go to his brother's funeral.

I don't know why she lied then...

..anymore than I know why she's lying now - but we were together.

This is where we fell in love.

No, that's bullshit.

There was someone else there that night. Another car.

Please, Caryl.

Help me clear my name and I promise...

..I'll help you get a story no-one else could ever get.

No choice.

No bloody choice.

"No choice?!"

Don't give me that shit, Alan. No conviction.

That's what it is. No principles.

Principles won't feed my kids!

I need to work.

If you take that job, don't come back here.

Oh, belt up, Bryn!

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are? Your brother.

Someone who cares about what happens to this town.

Cares about what happens? You don't care about your own son!

His bloody mother left because all you care about is yourself.

At least I'm not a traitor.

This isn't going to end well.

I'm done with you! Get out, you bloody coward!

Come on. We're going.

And don't come back!

You're not supposed to drink.

You're not supposed to drink. Don't tell me what I can do!

Being here doesn't make up for it, you know!

Make up for what?

Llyr being dead.

What are you doing?

Trying to work out who you are.

What?

Rhys told me.

Told you what?

About you and him.

Did my father know?

He's lying.

No, you're lying. You're the liar!

Mabli...

Mabli... Don't lie!

It was over before it began.

It didn't mean anything. I promise.

KNOCK ON THE DOOR

Caryl.

I'm bringing these back. I don't need them anymore.

Fancy a coffee?

OK.

You haven't been scared off, have you?

Oh, no. Just...

Change of heart.

I don't think I'm the right person to write this story.

Or any other story.

Right, do you want to tell me what this is all about?

You were desperate for these.

Oh, God...

I know it's a cliche...

..but uncovering the truth... set me free.

I thought if I could get to the bottom of what happened in '95...

..then I could do the same for someone else.

Prove my worth as a journalist.

They teach you on day one of the course, don't they?

Report the story, don't become part of it.

Do you know what they don't teach you?

That there wouldn't be any journalists...

..if we all gave up at the first hurdle.

Maybe I chose the wrong story?

I wanted to write about something I cared about.

Instead, I've been lying to people...

..and twisting facts about Rhys Owen...

..to fit a narrative I've conjured from thin air.

Sounds like half the hacks I know.

I don't want to be a hack.

I don't want to be a hack. Exactly.

The fact you've realised all that...

..shows me the kind of journalist you could be.

No, no.

This is my community. The lines are too blurred.

Look.

The evidence pointed to Rhys Owen, yes...

..but your gut...

..was telling you to dig deeper, wasn't it?

Follow the facts.

See where they take you.

If it all comes to nothing, then you can bring me my box back.

What the...?

"Hey. It's Caryl here."

"Meet me at Nantwen."

I want you to tell me everything you saw that night.

Everything.

That's where I was when the bomb went off.

But why were you here?

It was a hunch.

The coroner stated Llyr was killed by a blow to the head.

Not by the explosion.

Your prints were on the weapon, Rhys.

I know that.

They were my bloody bolt cutters.

Then how did...?

Then how did...? I don't know.

He must've taken them.

OK. OK.

So you were there...

..and you saw another car?

Over there.

Driving away a few seconds before the explosion.

I could only see the tail lights.

The witness, Deio Ffrancon...

..stated he only saw one vehicle.

I know what I saw.

How did it escalate from protest marches to bombs?

It didn't escalate, Llyr did.

While I was looking for an apprenticeship...

..he was looking for explosives.

Where did he get them?

Not sure, but he didn't get them himself.

What do you mean?

I think he got in with some of the boys. Got them to help.

Boys?

The Wales Freedom Movement.

Extremists?

Extremists? Yeah.

You still helped though?

With the bomb? The plan?

I got leccie wire, stuff like that.

We recce'd the site.

In court...

..you said you'd called the plot off?

My father heard on the grapevine there'd been a tip-off.

I got scared.

I didn't want to go to prison for life.

But Llyr carried on?

But Llyr carried on? Yes.

But if we could find out about that car...

Caryl, listen...

Caryl, listen... I'll call you.

I'll be with you now.

Is it Deio?

Is it Deio? It is.

What can I do for you?

I hear you're the best mechanic in Carmarthenshire.

Oh, yeah?

Who's saying that?

I was talking to someone in the Angel last night...

..and he said, "Deio Ffrancon knows cars inside out."

Who was that then?

Was it Bryan or...?

Not Big Bryan?

Yeah, he was big...

How can I help you?

It's making a funny noise.

Funny noise how?

Like a rattling.

Chuck us the keys.

Are you the only Deio Ffrancon?

The one and only.

Wasn't it you...

..who saw Rhys Owen's car...

..the night of the reservoir explosion?

Who told you that?

It's public record now.

You were like a star witness.

Yeah, but I never had to go to court or nothing.

How come you never mentioned the other car?

Did someone say not to?

What did you say you do again?

I'm not police or anything. Just interested.

Why would you be interested?

What kind of vehicle was it? The other car?

You can't get into trouble.

You were just a kid.

But someone was in prison for a long time.

Yes, because he was guilty.

It was a long time ago. It was dark.

Could you make out a shape? Was it a small car?

A family type car? A 4x4 or more like an estate?

It was an estate?

Did I say that?

Why didn't you tell the police?

My father didn't want me to.

I'd given them Rhys Owen. That was enough.

Why wouldn't your father...?

He was under pressure!

He was under pressure! From who?

Fuck off!

The wind's biting and I need you to take me to get my pension.

Can't they pay it into your account?

I don't trust them.

No, no.

I need to be able to smell it here.

In my hand.

Go downstairs. I'll get you a hat.

I can take care of myself.

Whoa! You could've taken my leg off!

Whoa! You could've taken my leg off! Right.

Stay here.

I'll get what you need and we can go.

Whisky!

I know it's shit...

..but he's been dead over a year now, Llyr.

He wouldn't want you to stay miserable, your dad.

He'd want you to move on.

I'm not miserable.

I'm angry.

Why've you been arrested?

Sounds like trouble.

It's in the bloodline.

Bet Gareth's over the moon.

But you can't kill the spirit.

Piss off.

Thank you.

What the hell were you thinking?

Is Mrs Lewis OK?

No, not really. She had to have stitches.

Is she being charged?

My lawyers arranged pre-charge bail while they investigate.

What about Hari?

He's still waiting for the duty solicitor.

Alright then. Let's just go.

Mabli's staying with me for a couple of days.

What?

What? I asked him.

You do realise everyone will think you're a complete hypocrite?

Maybe.

But at least he doesn't lie to me.

Can I have the car keys, please?

I'll pick up some stuff from home.

You should've told me about you and Rhys.

What other surprises are you hiding from me, eh?

It was nice of you to be there.

It was nice of you to be there. I filmed it all.

I thought it might help.

You're OK?

I'm fine. This won't stop me.

Listen, there's something I need to fess up to.

All of this, it's not just for my course.

I've got an opportunity at the Western Herald.

Good. Bring it on.

Tell the world.

Caryl. Hey.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here? Hey, Eve.

She came to check I was OK.

Everything's fine, isn't it, Mabli?

Lessons learnt.

I'm going to get in the car. Thanks for coming.

You know where to find me.

Why are you really here?

Is this still for your story?

I'm looking at the present-day protest.

That today was quite a thing.

Everything alright?

This is one of my students, Caryl.

This is one of my students, Caryl. Yeah, I know Caryl.

I had a lot of time for your father.

I had a lot of time for your father. Thanks, Mr Davies.

I was hoping to have a chat with you actually, at some point.

Yeah, I'm writing an article about Nantwen.

You need to make an appointment.

No problem.

I better get that one out of here before she does any more damage.

Look, Eve...

I've already told you my position on this.

Now please respect my boundaries.

Don't think so. They had a good poke around though.

Is there a reason anyone would want to break in here?

Interior design tips?

So "no" then.

Thanks.

We'll get it onto the system. I'll send someone to check for prints.

Probably have to wait a bit for that.

"Some day my prints will come"?

"Some day my prints will come"? What?

Never mind.

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

The Ffrancons. What do you know about them?

Car trouble?

Not really.

If you do, don't take it there.

If you do, don't take it there. Why not?

They've got a bad rep, that's why.

Deio Ffrancon.

He was a witness in the '95 explosion when he was a kid.

It was him who ID'd Rhys Owen...

..at the bomb site.

I wouldn't know.

Why erm...

Why a bad rep?

The family's connected to people you wouldn't want to know.

When you say connected, do you mean the Wales Freedom Movement?

Caryl.

Come on, Gareth.

There are people...

..who think they've got the right to impose their political views.

Regardless of the law - all of them are thugs.

Including Rhys Owen.

Mm.

Megan said you're doing something for college.

Something about Llyr?

Mm-hmm.

A lot of people were affected by what happened.

It's still raw for a lot of them.

Press the wrong buttons...

..you might get a reaction you don't like.

KNOCK ON THE WINDOW

Why the hell didn't you stop them? Our kids!

Our adult kids.

I couldn't.

It was chaos.

It's OK for you.

Robert will get his fancy lawyers on it.

Where's it gonna end?

Jail?

Or another death?

Sorry.

Caryl Huws, you know, from the butchers?

She turned up at the shop with a photo...

..of Llyr and Rhys.

Isn't she a student of yours?

You didn't talk to her, did you?

Why not?

She's trying to write something for the Western Herald.

What? Caryl?

She's got it in her head there's a story.

You shouldn't have spoken to her.

You shouldn't have spoken to her. Why not?

I just don't want her sniffing around in my private life.

Our private lives.

You don't own Llyr's memory, you know.

He was my brother.

I know but...

Do you, though?

Because sometimes you walk around like such a martyr.

I do not!

Yes, you do!

You've lived your whole life chained to him and this bloody valley.

Why wouldn't I?

This is my home.

My mother's home.

You don't have to leave to move on, though.

Why don't you try and meet someone?

You have every right to live too, you know.

Thanks a lot. Alright.

What are you doing here?

I made an appointment with your secretary, like you said.

What was it you wanted again?

What was it you wanted again? Your perspective on the reservoir.

A different direction for you.

Had enough at the butcher's?

Had enough at the butcher's? That was my father's business.

No disrespect to him but I just wanted a change.

He was a grown-up, your father, unlike some people around here.

He was very even-handed and fair and I just want to be the same.

You haven't already pinned me as an evil capitalist overlord?

Sorry. Have you been feeling judged?

Have you met my daughter and granddaughter?

I'll tell you what, I'm heading up to the reservoir.

Why don't I give you a tour? A bit of background?

Now?

It's not often I get the chance to give our side of the story.

Nice car.

Fully electric. No-one can doubt my green credentials.

Yeah, if you can afford it.

One of the few benefits of getting older, get to drive a decent car.

Speak for yourself.

I think I've peaked at a SEAT Leon.

It's hardly a banger though. I did my time with old cars.

Volvo estates were my things for years.

I have no guilt whatsoever enjoying this little baby.

No wonder people are so passionate about this land.

So are we.

Passionate about the potential of the land for everybody.

Look at it.

What do you see?

The occasional sheep or three?

A lone horse?

I see...

..beauty.

Wild Wales at its best.

That's a very lovely romantic vision.

But people need water to survive, particularly now.

Yeah, I get that.

Do you have any sympathy for Mabli's side of the argument?

As far as I'm concerned, it's a win-win.

Look at the potential for the local economy.

Holidaying families, mountain bikers, paddle boarders...

..wild swimmers, if you insist.

Visitors spending money in the town, in the shops.

Until the big chains come in.

We want businesses and jobs for the locals.

All this protesting, complaining about change, that's easy.

Doing something constructive for the future, that's the real challenge.

Was it worth waiting 30 years for?

Oh, yeah.

'95 must've hurt the business.

It wasn't ideal.

But you can't bow down to mindless terrorism.

Must've been a huge shock though...

..hearing about the explosion.

Where were you that night?

On the sofa watching Friends with my daughter.

You're out.

You're out. For now.

You've got a thing for the men in this family.

Mabli told me.

Of course she did.

You could've said something.

It's more of a reason for us to cool things off.

Eve, don't be like that.

You should've stopped Mabli before things got out of hand.

Really?

The women of your family have got a rebellious streak.

It's part of the appeal.

"Leave the past in the past!!"

Thought you could just snap your fingers...

..and things would fall into your lap?

Or... do you have a plan?

There's no plan.

Then what's with the gun?

It's just insurance.

If word got round that you had a gun in your possession...

..a convicted killer...

..you'd be out of my hair for a very long time.

Use your head. Get rid of it.

I've had enough of this.

That man's been dead 30 years and he's still causing trouble.

Is that what I am then?

Trouble?

I'm half Owen, you know that?

You don't understand.

You don't understand. I understand.

If you've got a problem with this, you've got a problem with me.

I wish to God she'd never set eyes on the bastard.

Why am I having a single sausage?

You've always been puny.

Get lost. Tell him, Eve.

Get lost. Tell him, Eve. Go on then.

I'm not getting involved.

Yes.

Come through.

Look, I know it's late and everything...

..but meet me?

Y Pistyll.

Was he like his photos?

Llyr?

He had the Owen spirit.

There was nothing half-hearted about Llyr.

I can see the same in your eyes too.

Don't let the bastards get you down.

Not hungry?

Sorry... I'm veggie.

Ah, well, you can't be perfect.

It won't go to waste.

Eve!

Eve! I'm here!

Are you out of your mind?

Are you out of your mind? Yes.

Has something happened? Is it Rhys?

Has something happened? Is it Rhys? Ah, no.

Forget about him.

I've spent too many years worrying about him.

You know what?

I've lived my whole life in this valley...

..and this is the first time I've swum here!

What's the point of saving a dying language...

..and The Land of our bloody Fathers...

..if we don't actually appreciate what's here?

Come on!

Life is for living!

You think she's yours, don't you?

You should do something about it.

Find out.

OK.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Sorry?

Don't turn round.

With Deio Ffrancon.

Is this about the second car?

Deio saw the car but he doesn't know who was in it.

Who are you?

Were you working with Llyr Owen?

Were you working with Llyr Owen? No.

But was Llyr part of a group or...?

Pfft. They were amateurs.

Some idiot stole the explosives to order.

Unauthorised.

That was it. We had nothing to do with that bomb plot.

But someone else was there...

You must know something.

If it wasn't one of your men, then who?

I'll only keep barking up the wrong tree...

..if you don't give me something!

Ask Robert Davies.

Robert Davies? Ask him what?

Why he wasn't keeping a closer eye on his own household.

What?

You mean Eve?
