Gwen (2018) Movie Script | Subs like Script

Is that a giggle?

Are you over here?

Mari?

Behind you!

You can't catch me!

Where'd you go?

You're around here somewhere.

You should move on now, girls.

It's getting late.

What happened to them?

Cholera.

The whole family.

Come on, now.

You shouldn't loiter here.

Yes, Doctor.

Bless us, O Lord,

and for these gifts

which we are about to receive.

May we pray

that you welcome our neighbours,

who join you now.

We pray, too, for our dad.

Keep him from harm

in the Crimea.

We ask you for his safe return,

so he may join us and

share in your bounty together.

May the Lord

make us truly thankful.

Amen.

This is burnt.

Sorry.

You were late home.

I had to see

to the animals myself.

And now you've ruined

our supper.

I... I didn't mean to.

Go and get some potatoes

from the pantry.

I miss Dad.

Me too.

Sleep now.

Mam.

Mam?

Mam, are you awake?

I think there's someone outside.

Who's out here?

Go and find your sister.

We should be leaving.

Last night I heard something.

What did you hear?

I think there was someone

outside in the fields.

I'm sure there's nothing

to worry about.

Go on.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

You'll filthy your clothes.

Put her down.

Sorry, Mam.

Come on.

Gwen.

Let us pray,

thanks to God.

Dear Lord...

we are thankful for the good

things that have come to us.

We may not only till the fields,

for we are busy all year...

whether in the quarries

or the mills.

Our achievements

have been both great and small,

but all are of value...

and we thank you, God, for them.

We thank you for the bounty

you gave us within the hill...

so we could earn our way

in your mercy.

We thank you for the quarries

that deliver us our bread.

And we thank you

for the brave men

who work them in the dark

so we can have light.

The light of Jesus Christ.

The light that protects us

from the dark evil around us,

guards us from the devil

and his diseases.

His temptation...

and his sin.

We pray also...

for our husbands

and sons away at war,

may your love

reach out to them...

and guide them to justice

and a safe return.

Merciful Father,

accept these prayers

for the sake of your Son,

our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

- Amen.

Madam...

may I have a word?

Walk ahead, girls.

I'll catch up.

Go on.

Good to see

you in chapel this morning.

I wanted to speak to you

regarding a

very delicate matter...

That Mr Wynne.

He's from the quarry, isn't he?

Yes.

You would never sell the farm.

This is our home.

And it's your dad's home.

Are your feet cold?

Maybe I could

warm them up a bit.

Should I warm you up?

Over here, there's got to be

a tickle spot somewhere.

Have you got ticklish feet?

Ticklish feet.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Burn them.

But what about their skin?

Can't...

Can't we at least rescue them?

They're worthless.

Start a fire!

What are you doing here?

Their...

Their sheep were killed too.

Like ours, I wanted to see...

Come away now.

Bu... But, Mam...

No, Gwen. We're leaving.

How dare you come here?

People died here and you... you...

you just wander

straight in without thinking.

I know people died here

and their sheep

were killed like ours.

- I just wanted to see...

- Enough, Gwen. We're leaving.

Dad would listen to me.

You'll go home...

you'll get on

with your duties...

and you will not come back here.

Go in.

Go on, you're dry.

Gwen, come here.

I can dry myself.

- Come here.

- I'm fine.

Gwen.

Mam?

Mam!

Go to bed and let her rest.

Yes?

Do you want me to help you

get ready?

I can manage.

Perhaps we don't have to go

to chapel today?

- You could rest.

- No, we are going.

- But, Mam...

- Go and get ready.

Do as I say.

- Wouldn't you better to rest?

- We are going.

To wait?

But Mam, you really should...

Will you just do as I say?

Help! Somebody help!

Careful.

There.

There. Good.

You need to leave.

This way. Come on.

I recommend

she takes a tonic wine.

Three bottles will do.

It will help her

gain her strength back.

How much is it?

Three and six per bottle.

We don't have that.

I want to help you, Gwen, but I

have the quarry to answer to.

After market in a few days,

we can pay you back then.

I can give you

one bottle for now.

Come and see me after market

for the rest.

But I'm afraid

you must pay me back.

Thank you.

If you have

any further problems,

you know where to find me.

Gwen.

- Mam?

- Get out!

- I ju...

- Get out!

Mam, let me go instead.

You are to stay here

and look after your sister.

You're only going to

make yourself worse.

You should be resting

like the doctor said.

We need a good market, Gwen.

We've no sheep to trade,

no fleeces, nothing.

Please, Mam... rest.

Be back before it's dark.

Come and get

your fresh vegetables.

Any veg for you today?

Any veg, madam?

Sir, any vegetables?

Bore da.

It's been a while.

Sorry.

- Good trade?

- Sold plenty.

May I buy some carrots?

- Of course. How many?

- A dozen will do us, please.

Harri.

Um, I should go.

Come and get

your fresh vegetables.

Any for you today, ma'am?

Any vegetables?

You, sir?

Next.

- Name?

- Gwen.

I don't have an appointment.

I came about the extra tonic.

Close the door.

Has your mother improved?

A little, but she hasn't...

Hasn't what?

She still hasn't been herself.

Go on.

I saw her cutting her...

Her arm, into a pan,

just letting the blood run down.

Do you know what she was doing?

Some people believe that sin

can be relieved through skin.

As the blood passes

from the body, so does the evil.

Did she finish the tonic wine?

Yes, that's why I came.

Do you have the money?

I'm sure it's not easy...

just the three of you.

But has your mother ever

considered selling the farm?

We can't sell.

We need it to be good and ready

for when Dad comes back.

I only say so

for your mother's health.

- You could start again.

- Where?

Down the quarries?

In the factories?

Our sheep were killed.

We woke to find them torn apart,

spread across the hillside.

I heard.

The same as the Glangors' flock.

You were there,

when they found the bodies.

Unfortunately, I was too late.

There was nothing

I could do for them.

What if...

What if the quarry wanted

their land and they refused?

Mam, I've seen the men from

the quarry talking to her.

Gwen, I assure you

there is nothing to it.

I just want my mam

to be well again.

I don't want to lose my home.

If she could just rest...

and take the tonic.

Please.

There's nothing

we can do.

He can't walk.

And we won't be able to heal it.

At least we'll have some meat.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Come here.

He's in pain.

This is the kindest way.

This is your responsibility.

I could at least say

a prayer for him.

Good boy. Shh. Good boy.

Wait here.

May we have a word

with you and your daughter?

No.

What are you doing here?

We'd rather talk inside.

- Wait here.

- I want to come with you.

You are to stay outside.

We have been alerted to the fact

one of your daughters

visited Dr Wren.

We understand that your daughter

stole medication,

medication that

was quarry's property.

Now, this is something we take

very seriously.

We feel it's a matter

that is highlighting

a bigger issue in your home.

An issue we feel

we are able to solve.

Get out of my house.

Madam, listen.

I suggest you consider

our offer.

For you and your daughters.

This is our home.

Get out.

Get out!

Mam.

- Did you steal the tonic wine?

- No, the doctor gave it to me.

Tell me the truth.

Mam, please, I didn't.

I didn't mean for them to come.

It's the quarry!

Stop this!

You stupid, stupid girl!

I'm sor... Mam, please.

Let go. You're hurting me.

Mam. Mam, please. Stop.

Stop. Mam. Mam.

What are you doing? Mam. Mam.

Strip the carcass.

No.

It will feed us for a month.

Do it now.

- Now!

- I can't.

I can't.

Oh, stop it!

Stop it, Mam!

Night time, Mari.

Mam?

I remember when there was

three families in this valley.

The Griffiths,

and the Rowlands to the South.

All good friends.

And now...

there's only one farm left.

Steal a sheep

and they'll take your hand.

Steal a mountain

and they'll make you a lord.

In there...

you'll find a letter.

It'll be in a box.

It arrived

just after your dad left.

Read it.

I don't want to.

I should have told you

from the beginning.

He's not coming home, Gwen.

But I promise you,

I will always protect you.

You and your sister.

We can be happy,

the three of us.

You lied!

All this time.

You let me believe

he was coming back.

- You let Mari believe...

- I... I did it to protect you.

Mam?

Mam? Mam?

Stop it! Let go of her.

- Let go...

- Back!

Mam! Please. No, stop. Stop it!

Stop, no! No! No! No!

Mam!

Get off! Get off!

Mam?

You'll be all right.

- You'll be...

- Shh. Shh.

Shh.

I never meant to hurt you.

I only ever wanted

to protect you.

Shh.

Get Mari.

Good girl. Look at me.

Look at me.

You're all right.
