00:30It's you, isn't it, Beowulf?
00:35You're Paddy's dad.
00:40Yeah, Paddy Dingle is your son, right?
00:49But I've seen you. Paddy and Mandy have got your pictures all over the house.
00:55Your family miss you.
01:00My family.
01:06My family is here.
01:15Oh, is that work? Do you have to go?
01:18No. I'm very comfortable here.
01:20Aww.
01:21Ow, bony elbows.
01:23We're getting their fur. Oh, look.
01:24Who?
01:25Still, I mean, they were like this weeks ago when we crashed the lunch.
01:29Isn't it time to move things on?
01:31You old romantic, you.
01:32Oh, baby, don't. Don't phone him again.
01:35He's only a little bit late, ain't he?
01:36Don't be smothering the lad.
01:38Although that cake is starting to sweat.
01:40I'm gonna get Laurel to pop it in.
01:41Oh, no, no, no, yeah.
01:42You can't interrupt that.
01:45Aye, aye.
01:46Looks like all my help is paying off.
01:48Now it's your turn for the hot seat.
01:50Oh, well, let me get him a coffee before your interrogation.
01:53Well, go easy on me.
01:55I'm afraid that's not an option.
01:57Any advice?
01:58Oh, I don't know. Just get comfy.
02:00Oh, and, hey, April left this in the caf.
02:02Is she about?
02:03No, no, no.
02:04She's popped out to get party poppers.
02:06No, I've got to pop to the pub.
02:08No, hang on.
02:09Dylan's gonna be here any second.
02:11Charity's messed with my oven, which messes with my dinner pep.
02:13I'll be right back.
02:14Laurel!
02:17Now that your spell's broken.
02:19What spell? No, you spell here.
02:20Whatevs.
02:21Will you borrow that in the fridge for us?
02:22No, please.
02:23No, just until Dylan gets here.
02:24Then we'll whip it out with a lot of birthday cheer.
02:26What if he doesn't get here?
02:27He will.
02:28Otherwise I'm gonna have J's guts for Gartas.
02:30He's not gonna miss this for the world, babe.
02:32He'll be here.
02:47You given up tending to Robbie then?
02:49Erm, some other bloke came in.
02:52I know the guy's with him now.
02:53Ah, I know the one.
02:55Bit of a mother hen.
02:58Any problems to report?
03:00Er, no.
03:01Nothing.
03:02Erm, am I okay to go back now for my birthday brunch?
03:05You're gonna be too busy for brunching.
03:07But everyone's waiting for me.
03:09Dylan, work doesn't stop just because it's your birthday.
03:12This promotion means more responsibility.
03:15Right, can I go tell her myself then?
03:17April's there too.
03:18Well, she won't be.
03:19Not for long.
03:20We have plans for her too.
03:23What erm, what sort of plans?
03:27Big ones.
03:28Life changing.
03:30April deserves to be rewarded for her hard work.
03:36I'm gonna need your phone.
03:38Don't panic.
03:39I will give you a bright shiny new one.
03:42All part of your promotion.
03:43Erm, it's at home.
03:45Home?
03:46Erm, Paddy and Mondays.
03:48You best go get it then.
03:51I'll run you over.
03:52No, it's fine.
03:53You don't have to.
03:54I know.
03:56Call it a bonus gift.
03:58As you keep reminding me.
04:00It's your birthday.
04:09Aw, Ness needs a hand with a skittish great day.
04:11Oh, babe, you will hurry back.
04:13I wouldn't bother.
04:14I don't think Dylan's coming.
04:16He wanted to be here, he'd be here, wouldn't he?
04:18April, please, will you tell him that Dylan's coming?
04:21What, is he not back yet?
04:23No, and now everyone's dumping shit.
04:24I will be back as soon as I can.
04:26Listen, April, me and your dad have got something important
04:29and we want to run past you later.
04:31What?
04:33All will be revealed.
04:36What is your best feature?
04:38Er, isn't that a bit up myself?
04:40Say it.
04:42My loyalty.
04:44Oh, could I make a quick call?
04:46More important than this, is it?
04:48The end of run, run, run.
04:56Oh, I think I've just dropped my keys outside.
04:58I'll be two minutes.
04:59Okay.
05:03Why are you ducking my calls?
05:05Sorry.
05:07You know you can't ignore me.
05:09I'm not.
05:10It's just been mad getting everything ready for Dylan's birthday.
05:13Do you know why he's not back yet?
05:15Yes.
05:16He's packing.
05:17Like you should be.
05:18What, why?
05:19Because you're going away for a bit.
05:21When?
05:22Now.
05:24No.
05:25No, we can't.
05:26Everybody's here.
05:27It's all weird and rude.
05:28Well, you're teenagers.
05:29It's what you do.
05:31Text them from the train.
05:33How long?
05:35It's too late for questions.
05:36Get packed up.
05:37I'll meet you at the station and fill you in there.
05:40Well, get going.
05:41We don't want Dylan to get the train without you.
05:44Okay?
05:49I'll leave those white boxes.
05:50Yeah, but they're for me.
05:51Ray bought them for me.
05:52Oh!
05:53Ready for round three, are we?
05:54Um, is there any point in begging for mercy?
05:56What do you think?
06:02Well, go on then.
06:03Quick as you can.
06:04Hey up, sunshine.
06:10Fancy a cuppa?
06:11No, thank you, Bob.
06:12What?
06:13No tea?
06:14It's anarchy in the UK!
06:15Dylan, there you are, mate.
06:16Mylon!
06:18How did, er, how did April take the news?
06:21Is she ready to move back in?
06:23Er, Celia, that was...
06:24Sorry, sorry, mate.
06:25I might mention something.
06:26Oh, dear.
06:27Have I put my foot in it?
06:28No, no, do you know what?
06:29No, it's fine.
06:30We've not had a chance to talk so just yet.
06:31Well, I do hope she's ready to move back.
06:33Yeah, us two.
06:34Excuse me.
06:38Been all right?
06:39Uh-huh.
06:40Only that stuff about April, I thought that was between us.
06:43Bob, I had no idea it was the secrets.
06:46Well, it's not the secrets, they're much more, er, you know, more confidence.
06:50Well, how'd you say that?
06:51Hey, where have you been?
06:52Everybody's been waiting.
06:53Don't react.
06:54People are watching.
06:55What?
06:56Whom?
06:57Don't.
06:58Just listen, all right?
06:59You need to get April to the police.
07:00Why?
07:01My lunch is in danger.
07:02Don't, just, all right?
07:03Look, you just need to make sure she tells the police everything.
07:06What danger is she in?
07:07Just go now, all right?

18:21dropping everything to cover a shift at the height
18:23yeah I guess
18:26did he try to put tonight off?

18:57enough whining
18:59this could bring down our entire operation
19:01you have really
19:03every time I give you an ounce of responsibility it comes back to haunt me
19:07it is disappointment after disappointment with you
19:11I have to accept it
19:13you don't have it in you
19:15you're not good enough
19:16you're not clever enough
19:18when I saw you begging in the street I should have just walked on by

19:25I can't fix this
19:27can you?
19:28Ted is your mess to clean up
19:30actually mess is plural
19:31because Dylan also knows he's pretending he doesn't
19:34but that little brat is a hopeless liar
19:36he's not stupid
19:37he'll keep his trap shut
19:38and you'd know
19:39he's planning something else he wouldn't be lying about Ted

20:52April please
20:53even Dylan agrees that's why he wanted me to take you to the police so you could tell them everything
