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!

00:40Leaving 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?

01:00I 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.

01:22I feel terrible.

01:23Then get involved.

01:24Give her a talking to.

01:26Not if she feels attacked.

01:27She could bolt and I can't have that, Mary.

01:29Not 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.

01:44Yeah, your little problem?

01:58Speak to it.

02:02Right.

02:03Come on then, let's get you to Granny Kim's.

02:05There's a room for a little then.

02:07Hey, Thomas.

02:09Hi.

02:09Sorry, I thought you'd want some more sleep and he's been desperate to get off, so.

02:14Oh, you are.

02:16At least you haven'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, it'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.

02:54I'll get it, I'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.

03:15It 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, since when were we on first name terms?

03:30Well, no, I'm just trying it.

03:31You know, because it feels weird calling your gran when you're carrying my baby.

03:35Right, see you later.

03:41Right.

03:42Oh.

03:45Every time the sausages come out of the pan.

03:47I'm not here for food, Mum.

03:50Well, you're not in debt, because you and Gabby are loaded.

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!

04:06We 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.

04:34Do 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, look, Gabby's done nothing, all right?

04:45It wasn't Cammie who beat me up, it was Mike.

04:55And that's why I had to go to court, because he'd been blackmailing me.

05:02Like how?

05:04I just haven't been, you know, entirely clear in me head about...

05:08about things, and I thought he was someone who would understand.

05:15You 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?

05:35Yes.

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, you're a grown man, can 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, we see it through,

05:57and we steal drugs and clear the debt.

05:59Simple.

06:01Now, 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.

06:27You know, this is gonna get out into the village,

06:28and it better not come from you.

06:29Oh, Nicola was really good with Arthur.

06:31Yeah, but Arthur's gay, even he 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,

06:42but he's not entirely straight either, is he?

06:44And maybe underneath you knew that,

06:46and that's why you slept with that guy in Portugal.

06:48What?

06:48Shh, uh, shh, just be shot quietly, Nicola.

06:53I act out sometimes because my dad and Rona,

06:57they put so much pressure on me,

06:59and they don't realise it, but...

07:01Too much.

07:03Talk about middle-class problems.

07:04That social worker's gonna be off like a shot.

07:06You see?

07:07A bit of listening and cooperation,

07:09you 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.

07:31I need to go for this social worker.

07:41Hey.

07:43If her parents start making a problem for my boss...

07:45God, then help us find a place to live.

07:48Ray, or her, at least.

07:52I'll pull a few strings.

07:54I need help.

07:56Right.

07:56What you did in that call.

08:08It was...

08:08It was incredibly brave.

08:11Maybe.

08:14But I just...

08:14I just felt, like...

08:16Ashamed and embarrassed.

08:18Come in.

08:25You are what you are.

08:27Whatever that is.

08:28But you must never feel ashamed.

08:31Yeah, well, I did...

08:32I definitely am forgetting myself in that situation with him in the first place.

08:35You know, when I saw Gabby sitting there, I 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 knock it on the head.

09:19What?

09:20What, and live a 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, you have 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.

09:52I'm sorry.

09:57I love you.

10:01I'm sorry.

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.

10:15Time for work, please, Mary.

10:16We can handle this now.

10:19Right.

10:20Um, let's um.

10:22Hi.

10:25I'm Gary.

10:27Gary Barlow.

10:27No 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 April?

10:41Yeah, of course.

10:42That's why we're all here.

10:43I 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 sorry for assuming that I did.

11:00Come on.

11:07Right.

11:10Do you want to tell me what's been happening?

11:27So, you've found the pills?

11:31Yeah.

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. The school have okayed it.

11:50I just need to be on my own sometimes.

11:54How are things here?

11:58They don't realise how much pressure I'm under.

12:01And that's why I act out sometimes.

12:04It's like...

12:06She's this amazing vet and he's this brilliant chef and...

12:11I'm not much cop at anything.

12:13They don't even know they're putting the pressure on, but they are.

12:16I just feel this massive weight on my shoulders

12:20that I'm trying to live up to something that I'm never going to be.

12:25Leaving your brother on his own like that

12:28sounds like more than acting out to me.

12:31Listen.

12:33I'm not here to trip you up.

12:35I'm here to support you.

12:37But you have quite a big file already.

12:40Yeah, so?

12:42Okay, I ran away and I lived rough for a bit,

12:44but that's in the past now.

12:47You must have been vulnerable to all sorts.

12:50Maybe as you still are.

12:52Hang on.

12:53A 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

13:05and then see how you both feel.

13:08Or say nothing and Vinny stays the bad guy if it comes to divorce.

13:11Vinny isn't bad, he's just confused.

13:15He wasn't confused when he said that he'd been beaten up by Cammy

13:18and not the other bloke.

13:19He just lied.

13:20Love, do you think he's ever acted on his confusion?

13:24No.

13:25How do you know?

13:27I just couldn't tell.

13:28Oh, like you could just tell when he told you that Cammy had beaten him up.

13:31Will you stop bringing that up?

13:34Lol.

13:36Have I been really stupid?

13:38No.

13:40No.

13:42But you do need to know exactly where you stand.

13:45He didn't say anything when he left.

13:47She keeps her nose clean, I think it's dumb.

13:50Mary?

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, I heard her

14:00and 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, I got rid of him, didn't I?

14:13It matters to me!

14:14I will now.

14:15No, Mum.

14:16It's my turn now.

14:17Do you know what?

14:18I wish I had a social worker

14:19who I could twist around my little finger

14:20but instead I have a successful career

14:23which apparently oppresses you so much

14:26you almost killed your brother.

14:28Since when?

14:29I did not say that.

14:30Liar!

14:31You said it's our fault

14:32because he's a brilliant chef,

14:34I'm a brilliant vet

14:35and you can't live up to us.

14:36Well, what's next April?

14:37Huh?

14:38I have a good day at work

14:39or your dad bakes a brilliant pie

14:40and you dangle Ivy out the window

14:42by her ankles.

14:43It's you that's the problem here.

14:46No, no.

14:47Leave her!

14:48Let her go!

14:51I have sat with her.

14:53I have listened to her.

14:54I'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,

15:03I hate her.

15:13See, that's the color that I want.

15:18Pale sienna but no,

15:19Jacob wants to stick with boring buttermilk.

15:22Plus he wants to spend a fortune on a pram.

15:24Mac, don't you think that's mad?

15:26Only a madman would think that it isn't.

15:29Gran,

15:30tell the bump that its daddy is mad.

15:32But I still love him.

15:33So are you two going out?

15:35I don't think I can be bothered.

15:40You alright with that?

15:42Right, well don't say I didn't offer.

15:44Look, if he's getting the pram out,

15:45I'm having the seattle walls.

15:47Do you think they're headed for a fall?

15:54I think it'll all be fine, I'm sure.

15:59So,

16:00I'm noticing every time going out gets mentioned,

16:03you wince.

16:06Babe,

16:08if you're struggling, you know, with

16:10public places or whatever,

16:12you gotta talk to me.

16:14Remember, you've been through a lot.

16:17Okay.

16:18So I'm thinking tonight,

16:20we will do...

16:22TV and takeaway?

16:26Aye, you're a mind reader.

16:29Yeah, and I promise we will go out soon.

16:32And the same goes for you.

16:33Tell me all your worries.

16:35Because I do love to hear you banging on.

16:46It's a bit early, innit?

16:56Not for wine or lives.

17:00Gabby, I swear, I told you about everything.

17:04Jay said that to Laurel a million times.

17:06Well, I'm nothing like Jay.

17:07And you know what happened to me?

17:10With Nicky?

17:12Nicky wasn't confused about anything.

17:13He was just set out to con you.

17:16Why didn't you pipe up sooner?

17:18Because I didn't know sooner.

17:20It 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?

17:29Now 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?

17:41Yeah.

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.

17:56I mean, Rona and Marlon are great parents.

18:00Oh, 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?

18:14Just a menu, please.

18:18Oh, well, we a pit have run out of menus.

18:21You can have mine.

18:22Oh, thank you.

18:27I'll, um, see if there are any specials left.

18:34You said some nasty things yesterday.

18:38I would ask for an apology.

18:39But I know how much you hate yourself and lash out after saying sorry.

18:45I've got the scars to prove it.

18:48Those two reckon she's off the hook.

18:51And I'm persuading her to leave home.

18:52I wish I could leave home.

18:54Actually, I wish I could stay.

18:57And you'd be dead.

19:03Finally.

19:04Growing a pair.

19:05Yeah.

19:09You wouldn't last five minutes.

19:10I was always worried that I wouldn't be enough for you.

19:11Oh, Vinny.

19:12You were more than enough.

19:13It was just a stupid, stupid thing and it will never happen again.

19:25But how do I know that?

19:26I don't know about you.

19:27At least I've just told you to your face.

19:28I had to find out in a whole courtroom of people.

19:31Right.

19:32Right.

19:33Look.

19:35We've just got married.

19:37And we are a great family.

19:38Okay?

19:39And I accept that you made a mistake.

19:40Because you know what?

19:41So did I.

19:42I don't know what I was thinking.

19:45So, Gabby, can we please just forget all this ever happened?

19:49Oh, 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 gonna be in your head, but it's up to me to try and understand what's going on in your head.

20:05Like you with me.

20:08So I'm gonna ask you one last time.

20:14Are you a gay man?

20:17No.

20:20Then you're my man.

20:40Of course it's not true about us putting pressure on her, but she was terrified last night about Leo and what might happen.

20:47More terrified than me?

20:48Or you?

20:49Bob said he'll do more to help.

20:50Oh, my God.

20:51Well, what a relief.

20:52What the hell are we supposed to do?

20:57You didn't mean what you said, did you?

20:58Er, 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.

21:14I just think it would be best all round, even if just for a few weeks.

21:17She obviously didn't mean any of that stuff.

21:19Stop speaking for me.

21:20Did you mean it?

21:21Do you mean anything you say?

21:22I will just get a room with Max.

21:24Not happening.

21:25Do you know what?

21:26I'm going to leave you to it, because 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!

22:04woke up!

22:05It's a dream to find I, gotta do it right now!

22:07My chest ever gained that I love my body as it!

22:10There is a break, but...

22:11He still swins on thehalb, but if I fundamentally want to open up a dog or avoid nobody who needs them.

22:14Mm-hmm?
