00:30Oh, oh, wow, April, ha, ha, do you really want my death on your conscience?
00:54I'm sorry, that's, that's a poor joke.
00:57I'm fit as a fiddle.
00:58But wait, let me check.
01:02One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg, one nod of the head, keep moving.
01:07Do you remember this?
01:08Do you remember?
01:09There was a time when that was the only song you were allowed to be sung in our house,
01:13and I wouldn't mind, but you were 15.
01:16Ha, ha.
01:17So, to what do I owe the pleasure?
01:23Is everything...
01:24What if I said I'd just miss you?
01:32Well, I'd laugh and say you could just smell the baking.
01:34You got me.
01:35You look frozen daft.
01:38Hey, I'm, um, I'm making a hot chocolate.
01:41Do you want one?
01:41I can pimp yours up and everything, make it just so you like it.
01:44Do it.
01:44On it.
01:45Get yourself warmed up.
01:47Oh, um, what happened to Fang?
01:51I'm sorry I'm outside hanging by his ears.
01:53Poor thing looks desperate.
01:55Fang has had a drama all of his own.
01:58Spill.
01:58Well, would you believe me if I told you you ended up in the apple-bobbing tub the other night?
02:03What?
02:03How?
02:04Why?
02:05Well, um, Leo, he was in a mischievous mood when he got back from Mamby and Paddy's,
02:11and he wanted more apple-bobbing shenanigans, so everything ended up in there.
02:16It just became like a lucky dip, whatever you came back up with.
02:18So there was Fang, Grandma Mary's Ready Readers, Ivy's Old Dummy.
02:23Oh, God, this family, I swear.
02:25I really missed you.
02:28I even got your Halloween outfit.
02:31You'd have loved it.
02:33So what about you?
02:34Did you have a decent fright night?
02:37Yeah.
02:39It was, uh, just the usual, you know.
02:42Oh, so we have pink and white marshmallows.
02:45We have chocolate sprinkles.
02:47We have cinnamon sticks.
02:50And is that parking I can smell?
02:53No, G!
02:54Oh, you know, Dad, because you will never, ever let me live that down.
02:58No, never, ever, because that was a masterpiece of seven-year-old essay writing.
03:03The best thing about my daddy is his parking.
03:06He even lets me help him sometimes.
03:07That took so much explaining at your parents' evening.
03:10Your teacher thought the highlight of your childhood was watching me park the car.
03:15Hang on.
03:15All words, you making me park the car?
03:17Oh, dear.
03:20Seven years old.
03:21He was a button.
03:23Answer for everything.
03:26Right.
03:27Let's go through.
03:28Oh, it all just went so fast.
03:40Hey, do you, uh, do you remember when you won that school competition dressed as a scarecrow?
03:49Chimney sweeper.
03:49No, it was a scarecrow because this guy made the outfit.
03:54No, this guy made a chimney sweep outfit.
03:59Really?
04:00Okay, that's my old age for you.
04:03I mean, you'd know.
04:04You were obsessed with playing dress-up.
04:06And I mean for, like, weeks at a time.
04:09One month, one month you're a spaceman, the next you're a fireman.
04:14It's like living with Mr Ben.
04:15Who?
04:17Yeah, that's another age thing.
04:22This will sound really lame, but...
04:25Back then I honestly thought I could actually do anything I wanted to.
04:33Be anything I wanted.
04:34And I honestly believed that one day I would go to space and learn to fly.
04:43I thought that life was kind of magical.
04:46It still is, April.
04:49You just need to know where to look.
04:57Are you sure you're okay?
04:58You seem a bit...
04:59Can we not have any big chats, please?
05:03I just want to chill.
05:04Pretend like I'm seven years old again.
05:09Is that okay?
05:10It's more than okay.
05:13I used to wish I could press a pause button on you when you were little.
05:18See?
05:20You might be growing up, but some things never change.
05:22Yeah, they do.
05:27Everything changes.
05:29No.
05:30No, not true.
05:31Because, Luke, bonfire night's coming round again and the house smells of toffee and parking.
05:35And we've got sparklers and fireworks ready to go.
05:37So, there.
05:39Come on, then.
05:43What is this Halloween costume?
05:45Seriously?
05:46Yeah.
05:46Oh, you're going to love it.
05:51Ta-da!
05:52Oh, witch.
05:53I do love a witch.
05:54I mean, how can you not?
05:55All those drownings.
05:57They were so misunderstood.
05:58Okay, give me a chance.
05:59Okay, give me a chance.
06:00Okay, almost, almost.
06:02Right, on.
06:02Ready?
06:04Oh!
06:07I'll get you, my pretty.
06:09You and your little dog.
06:10Something wicked this way comes.
06:13Oh, you're calling me wicked now, are you?
06:14If the hat fits, baby.
06:15You're wicked to the bone, you.
06:17See?
06:18You're still that seven-year-old nipper underneath it all.
06:27It's so nice seeing you like this.
06:30What, drinking a hot chocolate?
06:31Such skills.
06:32No, smiling.
06:34Laughing, even.
06:34With me.
06:35Yeah, especially because you're not funny.
06:41Shall we just pretend I never grew up?
06:42It feels like things are finally starting to look up.
06:49Don't you think?
06:52Dad.
06:54I, um...
06:55Ooh.
06:58What is this?
07:00That's you.
07:02Leo made our whole family out of them.
07:05You know what he's like.
07:06He's...
07:06He's a genius with this stuff.
07:10Yeah, he so is.
07:11Well, I said.
07:12Um, how is he now?
07:16You know he's fine, Apple, so don't go there.
07:18He could have died.
07:19But he didn't.
07:21So don't let your mind take you to scary places.
07:23It's not my mind that scares me.
07:25Then what?
07:27Reality.
07:29What do you mean, what?
07:30Is this school stuff getting you down?
07:33Boyfriend trouble?
07:34You do know you can tell me, don't you?
07:37Will you just be able to talk, me and you?
07:39I don't know who could talk the most.
07:41You.
07:41Definitely.
07:44What happened to us?
07:46You know what happened.
07:51I'm so sorry, April.
07:54If I could take away all the bad stuff, I would.
07:56Don't swear to you, Dad.
08:00I'm not seven anymore.
08:03You'll always be my little girl.
08:06I love you so much.
08:07I don't know why.
08:11After everything I've put you through.
08:14Nothing that happened to you was your fault.
08:15You do know that, don't you?
08:17You just still think that I'm the cute little kid with the tragic bob.
08:23Well, when you're looking at me like that from underneath your comfort blanket.
08:29Maybe you don't even know me anymore.
08:30Oh, I said every teenager to their parents at some point.
08:37All I know, April, is that I would do anything for you.
08:41I don't know if I could ever say or do that would ever stop me loving you.
08:58Are you sure?
08:59It's the only thing I know for sure.
09:11Fancy some parking?
09:13No G.
09:19I killed a man.
09:29I swear, I didn't mean to do it.
09:38I was scared and I just wanted to get out of there.
09:40But I know he'd paid to sleep with me.
09:42What?
09:43And because of this debt that me and Dylan are...
09:45What debt?
09:45What do you mean?
09:46What are you talking about?
09:46I had no choice.
09:47They made me do it.
09:48Who?
09:49So I just, I grabbed this bottle and I just hit it all over his head.
09:53And then he was dead and I'm so scared.
09:56Just take a breath.
09:57Take a breath.
09:58Take a breath.
09:58Sit down, sit down, sit down.
09:59Just try to breathe.
10:00Just breathe.
10:00Breathe, breathe.
10:02Breathe.
10:02You're okay.
10:03You're okay.
10:05You're okay.
10:06You're home.
10:07And you're safe with me.
10:08Just...
10:10I need you to tell me again what happened.
10:14Slowly, this time, and as calmly as you can.
10:16But what am I going to do?
10:18For now, just concentrate on breathing.
10:19That's it.
10:20That's it.
10:22Okay.
10:23Okay.
10:26Okay.
10:27From the beginning.
10:27Tell me, tell me who he was.
10:30This, the man.
10:31I didn't know him.
10:33I didn't.
10:34He paid someone to sleep with me.
10:36So who did he pay?
10:38Ray!
10:39Ray!
10:43No.
10:45No, not the guy who comes in the pub sometimes.
10:49He's one of my bosses.
10:50No, no, no, he sells farm machinery.
10:51You're a school, you don't even have a job.
10:52He doesn't sell farm machinery, all right?
10:54He helped Dylan when he got out of rehab.
10:55He gave him a job doing drug drops.
10:56But one day, Dylan needed to lie low because the heat got too much, so I said that I'd do
10:59his shop for him, only this guy pulled a knife out on me and stole the drugs.
11:00They were worth thousands of pounds.
11:01And Ray said that his bosses were really angry and that I had to pay this money back.
11:06But they kept adding interest on top, so I couldn't pay it and the only way I could was by dealing
11:13drugs for them.
11:14They forced you to deal drugs.
11:15The ecstasy will be over.
11:16I'm so sorry.
11:17They forced you to deal drugs.
11:18The ecstasy will be over.
11:19I'm so sorry.
11:20I'm sorry.
11:21I'm sorry.
11:22I'm sorry.
11:23I'm sorry.
11:24I'm sorry.
11:25I'm sorry.
11:26I'm sorry.
11:27I'm sorry.
11:28But one day, Dylan needed to lie low because the heat got too much, so I said that I'd do
11:30his shop for him.
11:31Only this guy pulled a knife out on me and stole the drugs.
11:34They were worth thousands of pounds.
11:35I'm so sorry, Dad.
11:37Yes.
11:38And these men who paid...
11:42Sorry.
11:43Paid to have sex with you.
11:47Celia said I had to do it.
11:50But the first guy, I ran away before anything could happen.
11:53She was angry, but she said that there'd be others, so I had to pull myself together
11:57because it was the only way I could pay this debt off.
11:59Celia.
12:00Yeah, she's Ray's mum.
12:02She's his boss.
12:03She's the big boss.
12:04And she's terrifying.
12:05She's the farmer that Moira works with.
12:09And the man I killed, he was called Callum.
12:20He met me at this house in Hotton.
12:22He was all right at first, but I was drinking to try and forget what was happening.
12:28And he told me to stop drinking.
12:30That he didn't want me out of it.
12:32That I had to be there with him the whole night because he wanted to get his money to
12:36him.
12:37He's tired of putting in his shirt and I was petrified and I told him to stop but he wouldn't
12:49and I just wanted to leave, but...
12:54So then I smashed the bottle over his head.
12:57And...
12:58I smashed the bottle over his head and then I realised he was dead, Dad.
13:03He was dead.

13:24Why, April?
13:25When did this happen?
13:26The other night.
13:29Halloween.
13:30Oh.
13:31It's why you never came round.
13:38So what happened next?
13:41I phoned Ray.
13:43Celia told him to go and get rid of the body.
13:46She should have told me that they owned me
13:48because they've cleaned up my mess more than once now
13:50and told me not to say one word about it to anybody.
13:56She threatened to kill you.
14:01Dad, what are we going to do?
14:10Dad, you hate me, don't you?
14:14Because I'm a murderer.
14:17April, none of this is your fault.
14:19Stop saying that.
14:22Everything that's happened is my fault.
14:26Running away, getting pregnant.
14:28I even killed my own baby because I couldn't look after it well enough.
14:32This is all on me.
14:33Listen to me, I promise you we're going to sort all of this out.
14:36How?
14:38We can't do anything!
14:40Do you trust me?
14:41I know that we've not been that close recently.
14:55And I know that I let you down over your mum and Dylan.
15:01And I get why you felt like you couldn't come to me for help.
15:04And I am so sorry about that.
15:05I am so sorry.
15:07I'm ashamed of myself.
15:09And all I've done is ruin your life.
15:12That's not true.
15:14It is.
15:16My own mum sacrificed what little life she had left to protect me from the bad guys.
15:24And now I'm one of them.
15:26She died for nothing.
15:27I am nothing.
15:29I wasn't worth it.
15:31When I thought I'd lost you on the streets.
15:45When I thought I was never ever going to see you again.
15:49I was shown the depth of the love I have for you.
15:57And it took my breath away.
15:59And I realised then.
16:04I realised how much your mum loved you.
16:07When she gave her life to protect you.
16:09And I do the same.
16:10I do the same, April.
16:12So never, never doubt your worth to me because you are everything.
16:18And I promise you with everything that I have that I will never ever let anybody harm you ever again.
16:24Dad!
16:29I've got you.
16:30I've got you.
16:31I've got you.
16:32I've got you.
16:33I've got you.
16:39What are you doing?
16:40What do you think I'm doing?
16:41I'm going to the police.
16:42And you're coming with me.
16:43What?
16:44No.
16:45No, they'll kill you.
16:46They'll kill all of us.
16:47That's what they want you to believe so you stay quiet.
16:48But what about what I did to Callum?
16:49I'll go to prison forever.
16:51No, no.
16:52The police will hear your story.
16:53You won't be the only one.
16:54There could be hundreds of kids caught up in evil like this.
16:56The police will hear you out.
16:57They will understand.
16:59But...
17:00No.
17:01No, but these threats, they're not just words.
17:03These people are not normal.
17:04And even if you manage to protect me, then they'll still kill Dylan and I can't let that happen.
17:10Where's Dylan now?
17:11At the depot.
17:12Right, so we pick him up on the way and then we get Rona, Ivy, Leo...
17:14No.
17:15And Grandma Mary...
17:16No, you're not getting it!
17:17April, please!
17:18We have to do something.
17:19We have to try.
17:20Otherwise, this nightmare will never be over.
17:23And we can't live like that, can we?
17:25We have to be brave.
17:26We have to start trusting in doing the right thing.
17:28So you go to the police and you tell them everything that you've just told me.
17:32And we don't leave until these scumbags have been arrested and we're safe, okay?
17:36I won't have you living your life in fear anymore.
17:39So we are doing this and you're going to be okay.
17:42We're all going to be okay.
17:43Just try and trust me again, please.
17:46I do.
17:50Get out!
17:51Get out!
17:52No!
17:53What did we say, April, about telling anyone?
17:55I won't tell you again.
17:56You get out of my house or I'm calling the police.
17:58I don't think so.
17:59No!
18:00No, no, please!
18:01Just not him!
18:02Please, Rick!
18:03You weren't warned!
18:04I'm calling the police.
18:05No!
18:06Dad!
18:07No!
18:08Dad!
18:09Dad!
18:10Dad!
18:11Dad!

18:18No!
18:19No!
18:20OK, I need to call an ambulance!
18:21No, don't call, don't call, don't call.
18:22No!
18:23I'm so sorry.
18:24I'm sorry.
18:25No, this was all me.
18:26I should have told you anything.
18:27I'm so sorry.
18:28No!
18:29No, stop it!
18:30You are not dying on me!
18:31Please!
18:32No!
18:33No!
18:34No!
18:35No!
18:36No!
18:37No!
18:38No!
18:39Fuck it!

19:15I'm really sorry.
19:16Don't give me away.
19:17No!
19:19I need the true unquote.
