00:30I can't take it in.
00:31It's hard to even be in the same room as her right now.
00:34Which is probably why she sloped off upstairs last night and snuck out first thing.
00:39Yeah, but drugs. Leaving Leo on his own, that is not our April.
00:42She's not been that kid for a long time.
00:44It's barely eight months since she had a baby who died.
00:48Can you even begin to imagine school after what she's been through?
00:51And I'm not trying to excuse anything.
00:53Not that this is about me, but she's not implicating any of my kids in drugs, is she?
00:56I was going to squeeze past, but it looked like you were having a moment.
01:10Double espresso when you can.
01:11Hi.
01:12Yeah, I'd better get back to the hospital.
01:18Leo will be coming out soon.
01:20I can't believe I've been out of the loop like this. I feel terrible.
01:23Then get involved. Give her a talking to.
01:25Not if she feels attacked.
01:27She could bolt and I can't have that, Mary. Not again.
01:29Sorry, double the espresso, was it?
01:37Please.
01:39Kids, huh?
01:40Yeah.
01:41All kids are trouble, but that April?
01:43Yikes.
01:55Yeah.
01:55Your little problem?
01:56Speak to it.
02:02Right.
02:03Come on then, let's get you to Granny Kim's.
02:05There's a room for a little one.
02:07Hey, Thomas.
02:09Hi.
02:10Sorry, I thought you'd want some more sleep and he's been desperate to get off, so...
02:14Oh, you are.
02:16At least she hasn't packed any bags yet.
02:20It's hard to know where to start.
02:23We have to, Gabby, though.
02:24Just...
02:25Just promise me you'll come back, though, yeah?
02:29Of course.
02:31This is our home.
02:33Together.
02:34And we will talk.
02:35It's just...
02:36I need some time to gather my thoughts.
02:43Right.
02:44Come on then, you.
02:45Come on in.
02:46Come on in.
02:47I'll get it.
02:55I'll get it.
02:55Here.
02:59One's crocked and hobbling, the other's pregnant and looking a bit green.
03:03What a fantastic pair we are.
03:04Well, if it keeps you off the market for affairs.
03:06Don't want the afflicted.
03:08Well, he might be.
03:09You're just blooming.
03:11Listen, why don't you two go out later to the pub or something?
03:13Get Ross to look after Moses.
03:14It saves you being stuck in here.
03:18We could.
03:19Yeah.
03:19I'm off into town to meet Jacob, looking at paints for the nursery.
03:22Oh, come on.
03:23There's plenty of time for that.
03:24The clock is ticking, Charity.
03:28Sorry.
03:28Since when will we be on first name terms?
03:30Well, no.
03:30I'm just trying it.
03:31You know, because it feels weird calling your gran when you're carrying my baby.
03:34Right.
03:35See you later.
03:35Every time the sausages come out of the pan.
03:49I'm not here for food, Mum.
03:50Well, you're not in debt, because you and Gabby.
03:52Loaded.
03:53Yeah, no, it's just...
03:55You're never getting another dog, are you?
03:56Right, as much as I could do this all day, Mum, it...
03:58It's complicated.
04:04I had to go to court.
04:05Finally, we made a dingle out of you.
04:10You're not kidding, are you?
04:12I wasn't getting done or anything.
04:15I was more the victim.
04:17But look, I'm fine.
04:18Well, you don't look fine.
04:19I mean, is Gabby all right?
04:20Was she involved?
04:21Where is she?
04:22She's okay.
04:24Well, I mean, I hope she is.
04:26She's off ordering her thoughts.
04:28Sorry, sorry, but what does that mean?
04:31I don't really know.
04:32Do you remember the guy who came in the salon?
04:38Mike.
04:39Oh, yeah.
04:41Oh, no, she never...
04:42No, no, not with him.
04:43God, no, no.
04:43Look, Gabby's done nothing, all right?
04:45It wasn't Cammy who beat me up.
04:52It was Mike.
04:55And that's why I had to go to court, because...
04:57He'd been blackmailing me.
05:02Like how?
05:03I just haven't been, you know, entirely clear in my head about...
05:08About things, and...
05:11I thought he was someone who would understand.
05:17You have to help me.
05:18She said she's gonna...
05:19I am doing everything I can for you, but you don't make it easy.
05:24You've lost the drugs, been picked up by the police,
05:27then leaving gear around for a kid to overdose on.
05:30Yeah, well, that was her brother, all right?
05:31She feels terrible.
05:32Would she actually do the stuff that she said?
05:34Yes.
05:36I am your only friend.
05:37No-one else is going to protect you from her,
05:39so do what I ask and you'll be okay.
05:42So is she your boss?
05:44She's everybody's boss.
05:45Hang on.
05:46You're a grown man.
05:47Can you not just get away from her?
05:50It doesn't work like that for any of us.
05:53Well, what are we gonna do?
05:54We make a plan.
05:56We see it through.
05:57And we steal drugs and clear the debt.
05:59Simple.
06:00Now, what are you gonna say to the social worker?
06:03I don't know.
06:04Oh, God, kill me now.
06:07Do you want me to tell her how to go on, Ray?
06:10Yes, please, Dylan.
06:13She exhausts me.
06:18Thanks.
06:19Shouldn't you be back at work?
06:21Oh, I sat my own time.
06:23Hats off to Vinny, though, for standing up in court.
06:26You know, this is gonna get out into the village and it better not come from you.
06:29Oh, Nicola was really good with Arthur.
06:31Yeah, but Arthur's gay, Vinny isn't.
06:36Is this the Bernice Syndrome all over again?
06:39What did I just say?
06:40Look, we know that he's not gay, but he's not entirely straight either, is he?
06:44And maybe underneath you knew that, and that's why you slept with that guy in Portugal.
06:48What?
06:49Shh, uh, shh.
06:50Just be shot quietly, Nicola.
06:53I act out sometimes because my dad and Rona, they put so much pressure on me and they don't realise it, but...
07:01Too much.
07:02Talk about middle-class problems.
07:04That social worker is gonna be off like a shot.
07:06You see?
07:07Bit of listening and cooperation, you might just survive.
07:10Do you feel more confident now, April?
07:12Of course she does.
07:14She's gonna be fine.
07:15How's your little brother doing?
07:17He came so close.
07:19And your parents?
07:21Watching over me like hawks.
07:24Oh, it'd be so much better if we had our own place.
07:27What do you think, Ray?
07:28Maybe.
07:30Probably.
07:30I need to go for the social worker.
07:41Hey.
07:42If her parents start making a problem for my boss...
07:45Then help us find a place to live.
07:48Ray, or her at least.
07:52I'll pull a few strings.
07:54I need help.
08:00What you did in that court.
08:08It was...
08:09It was incredibly brave.
08:11Maybe.
08:12But I just...
08:14I just felt, like, ashamed and embarrassed.
08:19Come in.
08:25You are what you are.
08:27Whatever that is.
08:28But you must never feel ashamed.
08:31Yeah, well, I did...
08:31I definitely am forgetting myself in that situation with him in the first place.
08:37You know, when I saw Gabby sitting there...
08:38I nearly backed down.
08:42So has this changed how you feel about her?
08:45God, no.
08:45No, Gabby.
08:46Gabby's everything.
08:48But last night, she said that.
08:52Said she didn't know me at all.
08:53And I could see that on her face in court.
08:56I felt like I was a con man.
08:58Sweetheart.
08:59Like, you're dead young.
09:01This is the first of probably a million hurdles.
09:05Right.
09:06And so what if you're not totally straight?
09:08You know?
09:08Maybe she's not.
09:10You know?
09:10Maybe she just hasn't had the chance to think about it.
09:14Oh, I pretend I don't feel any of these things and just...
09:16knock it on the head.
09:19What?
09:20What, and never lie?
09:21What?
09:22I'm walking on eggshells now.
09:25No, I'm not going to let that happen.
09:28Gabby loves you.
09:31But now...
09:32You...
09:34have got to be really honest.
09:37Even if that changes things.
09:42Please tell me you're being honest about finding them drugs.
09:47Can they put me in care?
09:49Never in a million years.
09:52What?
09:54Leah.
09:57Love you.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:03Oh.
10:06At least somebody likes me.
10:09Oh, come on.
10:10Would it make things any better if you hated me?
10:12Might save his life.
10:14Time for work, please, Mary.
10:16We can handle this now.
10:19Right.
10:20Um...
10:20Hi.
10:25I'm Gary.
10:27Gary Barlow.
10:28No jokes.
10:29I've heard them all before.
10:30Is it okay if I sit?
10:35Okay.
10:37First things first.
10:39Do I have your permission to talk to you, April?
10:41Yeah, of course.
10:42That's why we're all here.
10:42I actually don't want these two here, if that's okay.
10:47Can she do that?
10:48If it means that she talks more freely, then yes.
10:52Do I still have your permission?
10:55Yeah, of course you do, yeah.
10:56I obviously have no say, so...
10:59Sorry for assuming that I did.
11:00Come on.
11:08Right.
11:11Do you want to tell me what's been happening?
11:26So, you've found the pills?
11:32Yeah.
11:33And your thoughts saying that were yours would impress the girls?
11:35Yeah.
11:36You don't strike me as lacking in confidence or needing to impress anybody.
11:40You've not met the girls at my school.
11:44The school says your attendance is patchy.
11:47I study best when I'm at home.
11:49The school have okayed it.
11:51I just need to be on my own sometimes.
11:55How are things here?
11:56They don't realise how much pressure I'm under.
12:02And that's why I act out sometimes.
12:05It's like she's this amazing vet and he's this brilliant chef and I'm not much cop at anything.
12:14They don't even know they're putting the pressure on, but they are.
12:17I just feel this massive weight on my shoulders that I'm trying to live up to something that I'm never going to be.
12:24Leaving your brother on his own like that sounds like more than acting out to me.
12:30Listen, I'm not here to trip you up.
12:34I'm here to support you.
12:36But you have quite a big file already.
12:39I'm here to support you.
12:40Yeah, sir.
12:41Okay, I ran away and I lived rough for a bit, but that's in the past now.
12:47You must have been vulnerable to all sorts.
12:49Maybe as you still are.
12:50Hang on.
12:51Hang on.
12:52A second ago you were saying that I were dead confident.
12:56Even confident people can be drawn in.
12:59Is there something happening to you, April?
13:03Sweetheart, maybe you should just come clean about Portugal and then see how you both feel.
13:08Or say nothing and Vinny stays the bad guy if it comes to divorce.
13:12And Vinny isn't bad.
13:13He's just confused.
13:16He wasn't confused when he said that he'd been beaten up by a cammy and not the other bloke.
13:20He just lied.
13:20Love, do you think he's ever acted on his confusion?
13:25No.
13:25How do you know?
13:26I just can tell.
13:28Oh, like you could just tell when he told you that cammy had beaten him up.
13:32Will you stop bringing that up?
13:35Lol.
13:37Have I been really stupid?
13:39No.
13:41No.
13:42But you do need to know exactly where you stand.
13:46He didn't say anything when he left.
13:48She keeps her nose clean.
13:48I think it's dumb.
13:49Mary?
13:51Oh, Rona called.
13:52Why?
13:53Because you both need to hear this.
13:54And I don't want to be this angry twice.
13:57I heard her.
13:59With the social worker.
14:00I heard her.
14:01And apparently, it's all our fault.
14:03What is?
14:04We make her behave like this.
14:05We are to blame.
14:07You shouldn't have been listening.
14:08Oh, I can see why he kept us out now.
14:11What did you say?
14:12It doesn't matter.
14:12I got rid of him, didn't I?
14:13It matters to me!
14:15Rona.
14:15No, Mum.
14:16It's my turn now.
14:17Do you know what?
14:17I wish I had a social worker who I could twist around my little finger.
14:21But instead, I have a successful career which apparently oppresses you so much, you almost
14:27killed your brother.
14:28Since when?
14:29I did not say that.
14:30Liar!
14:31You said it's our fault because he's a brilliant chef, I'm a brilliant vet and you can't live
14:36up to us.
14:36Well, what's next April?
14:37Huh?
14:38I have a good day at work or your dad bakes a brilliant pie and you dangle Ivy out the
14:42window by her ankles.
14:43It's you that's the problem here.
14:46No, no.
14:47Leave her.
14:48Leave her.
14:48Let her go.
14:51I have sat with her.
14:53I have listened to her.
14:55I've calmed her down.
14:56I've calmed you down.
14:59I'm sure we'll look back at this and laugh one day.
15:01But right now, I hate her.
15:04See, that's the color that I want.
15:19Pale Sienna, but no, Jacob wants to stick with boring buttermilk.
15:23Plus he wants to spend a fortune on a pram.
15:25Mac, don't you think that's mad?
15:27Only a madman would think that it isn't.
15:30Gran, tell the bump that its daddy is mad.
15:33But I still love him.
15:35So, are you two going out?
15:39I don't think I can be bothered.
15:42You alright with that?
15:43Right, well, don't say I didn't offer.
15:45Look, if he's getting the pram, I'm having the Seattle halls.
15:52Do you think they're headed for a fall?
15:54I think it'll all be fine, I'm sure.
15:59So, I'm noticing every time going out gets mentioned,
16:03and you wince.
16:06Babe, if you're struggling, you know, with public places or whatever,
16:12you've got to talk to me.
16:15Remember, you've been through a lot.
16:17Okay.
16:17So, I'm thinking tonight, we will do TV and takeaway?
16:26I hear a mind reader.
16:29Yeah, and I promise we will go out soon.
16:31And the same goes for you.
16:34Tell me all your worries.
16:36Because I do love to hear you banging on.
16:38It's a bit early, isn't it?
16:57Not for wine or lives.
16:58Gabby, I swear, I told you about everything.
17:05Jay said that to Laurel a million times.
17:07Well, I'm nothing like Jay.
17:09And you know what happened to me?
17:10With Nicky?
17:11Yeah, but Nicky wasn't confused about anything.
17:14He was just set out to con you.
17:17Why didn't you pipe up sooner?
17:18Because I didn't know sooner.
17:21It was only so well after we got together.
17:24Oh, even better.
17:25So a few months of sex with me puts you off women for life?
17:28Have I ever seen like I'm holding back?
17:30Now you come to mention it, yeah.
17:31Since when?
17:32Since I slept with another guy in Portugal.
17:34No confusion or wondering or thinking from him.
17:39Are you just saying that to hurt me?
17:42Yeah.
17:45But it's also true.
17:49I have never seen Rona so angry.
17:52Well, Cathy used to blame me for everything.
17:54But it was mostly true.
17:56Yeah, well, I mean, Rona and Marlon are great parents.
18:00Yeah, well, sorry.
18:01No offence taken.
18:02But you and me, we need to be the oil on the troubled waters.
18:08What is it with her?
18:09Don't ask.
18:12You two have met, right?
18:15Just a menu, please.
18:19Oh, well, we appear to have run out of menus.
18:22You can have mine.
18:22Oh, thank you.
18:27I'll, um, see if there are any specials left.
18:30You said some nasty things yesterday.
18:36I would ask for an apology, but I know how much you hate yourself and lash out after saying sorry.
18:45I've got the scars to prove it.
18:49Those two reckon she's off the hook, and I'm persuading her to leave home.
18:52I wish I could leave home.
18:54Actually, I wish I could stay, and you'd be dead.
19:01Finally, growing a pair.
19:06Yeah.
19:09You wouldn't last five minutes.
19:10I was always worried that I wouldn't be enough for you.
19:18Oh, Vinny.
19:20You were more than enough.
19:21It was just a stupid, stupid thing, and it will never happen again.
19:25Yeah, but how do I know that?
19:27Well, I don't know about you.
19:28At least I've just told you to your face.
19:30I had to find out in a whole courtroom of people.
19:32Right, right, look.
19:36We've just got married, and we are a great family, okay?
19:40And I accept that you made a mistake, because you know what?
19:42So did I, and I don't know what I was thinking.
19:46So, Gabby, can we please just forget all this ever happened?
19:50Oh, Vinny.
19:51If I didn't love you so much,
19:55then I'd agree to that, but I do.
19:59And I know this is always going to be in your head,
20:01but it's up to me to try and understand what's going on in your head.
20:05Like you with me.
20:09So I'm going to ask you one last time.
20:12Are you a gay man?
20:17No.
20:21Then you're my man.
20:22Of course it's not true about us putting pressure on her,
20:44but she was terrified last night about Leo and what might happen.
20:47More terrified than me? Or you?
20:49Bob said he'll do more to help.
20:51Oh my God, well, what a relief.
20:53What the hell are we supposed to do?
20:57You didn't mean what you said, did you?
20:59Er, no.
21:00Well, I mean, I do feel pressure.
21:03And is that why you abandoned Leo?
21:05Would it make you happier if I just moved out?
21:07No.
21:09It's not permanent.
21:10She's a child.
21:12Are you a child?
21:13No.
21:13April!
21:14I just think it would be best all round,
21:16even if just for a few weeks.
21:17She obviously didn't mean any of that stuff.
21:19Stop speaking for me.
21:21Did you mean it?
21:21Do you mean anything you say?
21:23I will just get a room with Max.
21:25Not happening.
21:25Do you know what?
21:26I'm going to leave you to it,
21:27because I've got two other kids upstairs that do need my attention.
21:29Rona!
21:30It's not forever!
21:31It's not at all!
21:32April said it, not me!
21:34And April gets what April wants.
21:36I'm going to leave you to it, not me!
22:06I'm going to leave you to it, not me!
