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