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.
00:45It'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 the loop like this.
01:23I feel terrible.
01:23Then get involved.
01:25Give 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.
02:06There's a room for a little then.
02:08Hey, 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.
02:30This 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.
02:54I'll get it.
02:55I'll get it.
02:55Here.
02:58One'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.
03:07Don'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.
03:20I'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.
03:26Er, sorry.
03:28Since when were we on first name terms?
03:30Well, no.
03:31I'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.
03:53Loaded.
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!
04:09Well, you'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?
04:22Where 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?
04:49It wasn't Cammy who beat me up.
04:52It was Mike.
04:55And that's why I had to go to court,
04:56because he'd been blackmailing me.
05:02Like how?
05:04I just haven't been, you know,
05:06entirely clear in me 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,
05:22but you don't make it easy.
05:24You've lost the drugs,
05:25been 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.
05:35I am your only friend.
05:37No-one else is going to protect you from her,
05:40so 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
05:58and 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?
06:21I've sat my own time.
06:23Hats off to Vinnie, though,
06:25for standing up in court.
06:27You know, this is gonna get out into the village
06:28and it better not come from you.
06:30Oh, Nicola was really good with Arthur.
06:31Yeah, but Arthur's gay,
06:32Vinnie isn't.
06:36Is this the Bernice syndrome, I'll ever 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?
06:49Shh, uh, shh.
06:50Just be shot quietly, Nicola.
06:53I act out sometimes
06:54because my dad and Rona,
06:57they put so much pressure on me
06:59and they don't realise it,
07:00but too much.
07:03Talk about middle-class problems.
07:04That social worker's gonna be off like a shot.
07:07You 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
07:25if we had our own place.
07:28What do you think, Ray?
07:28Maybe.
07:30Probably.
07:31I need to go for the social worker.
07:41Hey.
07:43If her parents start making a problem for my boss...
07:46Then help us find a place to live.
07:48Ray, or her at least.
07:52I'll pull a few strings.
07:54I need help.
07:55What you did in that call...
08:07It was...
08:08It was incredibly brave.
08:10Maybe.
08:11But I just felt, like, ashamed and embarrassed.
08:19Come here.
08:25You are what you are.
08:27Whatever that is, but you must never feel ashamed.
08:31Yeah, well, I definitely am forgetting myself
08:33in that situation with him in the first place.
08:37You know, when I saw Gabby sitting there,
08:39I nearly backed down.
08:42So has this changed how you feel about her?
08:45God, no.
08:45No, Gabby'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 comrade.
08:58Sweetheart, like, you're dead young.
09:01This is the first of probably a million hurdles, right?
09:06And so what if you're not totally straight, you know?
09:08Maybe she's not, you 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
09:16and just knock it on the head.
09:19Well, I'll never lie.
09:22Well, I'm walking on eggshells now.
09:25No, I'm not going to let that happen.
09:28Gabby loves you.
09:31But now,
09:32you have got to be really honest,
09:36even if that changes things.
09:42Please tell me you're being honest about finding them drugs.
09:47Can they put me in care?
09:50Never in a million years.
09:51I'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.
10:16Maybe we can handle this now.
10:19Right.
10:24Hi.
10:25I'm Gary.
10:27Gary Barlow.
10:29No jokes.
10:29I've heard them all before.
10:31Is 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.
10:42I 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,
10:51then yes.
10:52Do I still have your permission?
10:53Yeah, of course you do, yeah.
10:57I obviously have no say, so sorry for assuming that I did.
11:01Come on.
11:08Right.
11:11Do you want to tell me what's been happening?
11:12So, you've found the pills?
11:32Yeah.
11:33And you thought saying they were yours would impress the girls?
11:36Yeah.
11:36You don't strike me as lacking in confidence
11:38or needing to impress anybody.
11:40You've not met the girls at my school.
11:42The school says your tendency 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?
11:59They 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
12:08and he's this brilliant chef
12:10and I'm not much cop at anything.
12:14They don't even know they're putting the pressure on,
12:16but they are.
12:17I just feel this massive weight on my shoulders
12:20that I'm trying to live up to something
12:23that I'm never going to be.
12:24Leaving your brother on his own like that
12:27sounds like more than acting out to me.
12:32Listen.
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?
12:41Okay, I ran away and I lived rough for a bit,
12:45but that's in the past now.
12:48You must have been vulnerable to all sorts.
12:50Maybe it's just a lot.
12:52Hang on.
12:53A second ago you were saying that I was dead confident.
12:56Even confident people can be drawn in.
12:59Is there something happening to you, April?
13:00Sweetheart, maybe you should just come clean about Portugal
13:06and then see how you both feel.
13:08Or say nothing and Vinny stays the bad guy
13:11if it comes to divorce.
13:12Vinny isn't bad.
13:13He's just confused.
13:16He wasn't confused when he said
13:17that he'd been beaten up by a cammy
13:19and not the other bloke.
13:20He just lied.
13:21Love, do you think he's ever acted on his confusion?
13:25No.
13:26How do you know?
13:26I just can tell.
13:28Oh, like you could just tell
13:30when 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.
13:49I 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.
14:00I heard her
14:01and apparently
14:01it'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.
14:09Oh, 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!
14:15I 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
14:21but instead
14:21I have a successful career
14:23which apparently
14:24oppresses 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
14:33because 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?
14:38Huh?
14:38I have a good day at work
14:39or your dad bakes a brilliant pie
14:41and you dangle Ivy out the window
14:42by her ankles.
14:43It's you
14:44that's the problem here.
14:47No, no.
14:47Leave her!
14:48Let her go!
14:49I have sat with her
14:53I have listened to her
14:55I've calmed her down
14:56I've calmed you down
14:57I'm sure we'll look back at this
15:01and laugh one day
15:01but right now
15:02I hate her.
15:04See, that's the colour that I want
15:19pale sienna
15:20but no, Jacob 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?
15:27Only a madman would think that it isn't.
15:30Gran, tell the bump
15:31that its daddy is mad
15:32but 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
15:46I'm having the sienna walls.
15:52Do you think they're headed for a fall?
15:55I think it'll all be fine, I'm sure.
15:58So, I'm noticing
16:01every time going out gets mentioned
16:04you wince.
16:06Babe,
16:07if you're struggling, you know, with
16:10public places or whatever
16:12you've got to talk to me.
16:15Remember, you've been through a lot.
16:17Okay.
16:18So, I'm thinking tonight
16:20we will do
16:22TV and takeaway?
16:26I hear a mind reader.
16:28Yeah, and I promise
16:30we will go out soon.
16:32And 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?
17:01Gabby, I swear, I told you
17:02about everything.
17:03Jay said that to Laurel
17:06a 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
17:13about anything.
17:14He was just set out to con you.
17:17Why didn't you pipe up Suna?
17:19Because I didn't know Suna.
17:21It was only till
17:22well after we got together.
17:24Oh, even better.
17:25So a few months of sex with me
17:27puts you off women for life?
17:28Have I ever seen
17:29like I'm holding back?
17:30Now you come to mention it, yeah.
17:31Since when?
17:32Since I slept with another guy
17:33in Portugal.
17:34No confusion or wondering
17:36or thinking from him.
17:39Are you just saying that
17:40to 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
17:53for everything.
17:54Though it was mostly true.
17:56Yeah, well, I mean,
17:57Rona and Marlon
17:58are great parents.
18:00Yeah, well, sorry.
18:00No offence taken.
18:02But you and me,
18:03we need to be the oil
18:04on 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 are pit
18:20have run out of menus.
18:22You can have mine.
18:23Oh, thank you.
18:27I'll, um,
18:29see if there are any specials left.
18:34You said some nasty things yesterday.
18:36I would ask for an apology.
18:41I know how much you hate yourself
18:42and lash out after saying sorry.
18:45I've got the scars to prove it.
18:49Those two reckon she's off the hook
18:51and I'm persuading her to leave home.
18:53I wish I could leave home.
18:55Actually,
18:56I wish I could stay
18:58and you'd be dead.
19:03Finally.
19:05Growing a pair.
19:06Yeah.
19:09You wouldn't last five minutes.
19:16I was always worried
19:17that I wouldn't be enough for you.
19:18Oh, Vinnie.
19:20You were more than enough.
19:21It was just a stupid,
19:23stupid thing
19:24and it would never happen again.
19:26But 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
19:31in a whole courtroom of people.
19:32Right, right, look.
19:36We've just got married
19:37and we are a great family, okay?
19:40And I accept that you made a mistake
19:41because you know what?
19:42So did I.
19:43I don't know what I was thinking.
19:46So, Gabby,
19:47can we please just forget
19:48all this ever happened?
19:50Oh, Vinnie.
19:52If I didn't love you so much.
19:56Then I'd agree to that,
19:57but I do.
19:59And I know this is always
20:01going to be in your head,
20:02but it's up to me
20:03to try and understand
20:04what's going on in your head.
20:05Like you with me.
20:09So I'm going to ask you
20:10one last time.
20:14Are you a gay man?
20:18No.
20:18Then you're my man.
20:40Of course it's not true
20:42about us putting pressure on her,
20:44but she was terrified last night
20:46about Leo and what might happen.
20:47More terrified than me?
20:48Or you?
20:49Bob said he'll do more to help.
20:51Oh my God,
20:52well, what a relief.
20:53What the hell are we supposed to do?
20:57You didn't mean what you said,
20:58did you?
20:59Er, no.
21:00Well, I mean,
21:02I do feel pressure.
21:03And is that why
21:04you abandoned Leo?
21:05Would it make you happier
21:06if I just moved out?
21:07No.
21:09It's not permanent.
21:10She's a child.
