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?
07:08Make her.
07:10Well, hey, you didn't, did you?
07:11Not really.
07:12No, Marlon seems fine with it, so forget I said anything.
07:15No harm done.
07:16Bob, if you need me to keep things quiet, just tell me.
07:18Tell me.
07:39Dylan.
07:43Anyone else here?
07:44No, just us, yeah.
07:45Then what is taking so long?
07:49Did you find your phone?
07:53Yep.
07:54That's something.
07:57What did Marlon want?
07:59Er, just having a go about me being late for my brunch thing.
08:03You seemed off.
08:05Yeah, yeah.
08:06I was having, you know, a bit of a go back.
08:12Are you waiting for a cuddle or shall we get going?
08:15Do you get going?
08:40April.
08:42April?
08:43Hey! Where are you going? What's in the bag?
08:48Stuff. Clothes. I, erm, I thought I might go and check out another unit.
08:53Don't. Please don't. I've just seen Dylan.
08:55Why?
08:55He said you're endangered. I've got to take you to the police. You've got to tell them everything.
08:59What trouble you in?
09:13I don't know why Dylan would say that. You must have got it wrong.
09:31No. I didn't. He was, he's, he seemed pretty terrified. He's got me pretty terrified too.
09:43Why does he want me to take you to the police? Why? What do you need to tell them?
09:51Nothing.
09:53Hey, but I can see how scared you are. And that scares me.
10:01Please let me in. I won't judge. I, I just want to help you. Whatever it is, you can trust me with it.
10:09It's got nothing to do with trust.
10:10You can tell me anything. Tell me.
10:17This nightmare will never be over.
10:20I'm calling the police.
10:20No!
10:24Have.
10:25No!
10:26No!
10:27A million times over in my head and every time it ends, it...
10:31No.
10:34It ends badly.
10:36Look, if you don't tell me, I'm going to have to go to the police myself.
10:39No.
10:39No!
10:40No!
10:41No!
10:42No!
10:42No!
10:42No!
10:43No!
10:43No!
10:44No!
10:44No, I...
10:45I've been...
10:50I've been dealing drugs for months and I can't stop. They won't let me stop.
10:59Oh, hi Dylan. No pressure, no stress. Yeah, we've cancelled that daft meal that you didn't even want anyway.
11:14But if I could take you for a pint at the pub, now that you're legal, that would be great, actually.
11:22All right, er... happy birthday, mate. Bye-bye.
11:26Don't... don't read into him not making it, eh?
11:34Ever cheated?
11:35Er...
11:36No ums, red flag.
11:37Well, does monopoly count?
11:39Okay, I'm going to call this. Nicola, don't you need to be, er, you know, back at the cafe.
11:43Last one.
11:44Mm-hmm?
11:45What are your intentions towards my best friend?
11:48Easy. Honourable.
11:51Long term?
11:53If she can put up with me.
11:55That is my job done. Thank me very much.
11:59See.
12:01Well, congratulations. You survived.
12:05Yeah, but did I pass?
12:06With flying colours. And as a reward, Ray, would you like to come for tea tonight?
12:12It's tempting.
12:14With my family?
12:15Oh.
12:16Well, you can meet my kids properly. Actually saying that, Arthur's in such a bad mood.
12:20He's probably best left in his room.
12:23I would like that. I would like that a lot.
12:26Yeah? Really?
12:27Yeah.
12:28Oh.
12:29I'm... I'm sorry.
12:31Ah.
12:32Er...
12:36Hey.
12:37Drop everything and get home now. We have a problem that needs solving.
12:47I've got to go, er, work.
12:49Okay.
12:50Er, what time tonight?
12:51I don't know.
12:52But I will be there.
12:53Wild horses wouldn't keep me away.
13:01It was only supposed to be a one-off drop to help Dylan.
13:04It wasn't his fault.
13:06It wasn't his fault.
13:07He didn't even really want me to do it.
13:09He was desperate to get enough money together to get a place of his own.
13:13And...
13:14He was in deep with these drops.
13:17And he couldn't miss one because he had this messed up sense of loyalty.
13:20So I...
13:21I had to help him.
13:23And then I did another one because I just wanted to help him get the money faster.
13:27You could have come to us.
13:28You wouldn't have given him any money.
13:32But then this...
13:33This guy...
13:34Stole the gear that I was responsible for.
13:37What?
13:38And that left you on the hook for it?
13:40We all owe this huge debt.
13:46And...
13:47No matter how much we sell...
13:49And I'm good at selling.
13:50I don't like it.
13:51But I'm good at it.
13:52It's just not enough.
13:56Why didn't you...
13:58Sorry.
14:01When you realised you were in over your head...
14:05Why didn't you...
14:06Say no.
14:08And...
14:09Walk away.
14:12We tried.
14:14They wouldn't let us.
14:18Right.
14:19Sorry.
14:20Just help me understand this.
14:22Why didn't you come to us?
14:24Or even to the police?
14:26Especially after Leo ended up in hospital.
14:28After he almost died.
14:31I wanted to.
14:32I really did.
14:33And I nearly did.
14:35But...
14:37He said he'd hurt you guys.
14:38And...
14:39Make me disappear for good.
14:40And he meant it.
14:42Who?
14:43Who threatened you, April?
14:46Please, sweetheart.
14:47Who's making you do all this?
14:51Ray and Ray.
14:52Laurel's Ray.
14:54If I stop...
14:55He'll hurt all of you.
14:57And he means it.
15:06Shall I go check up on Robbie?
15:07I thought you said the old man was looking after him.
15:20He was, yeah.
15:21I just don't know who he is now.
15:23So I'll go see.
15:25What did you say his name was again?
15:28I didn't...
15:29I didn't get it.
15:37Right, I'll, erm...
15:38I'll go on up then.
15:39No.
15:41I want you to check up on the workers in the turkey barn.
15:43Okay.
15:46Okay.
15:57What's happened to him?
15:59Your little pet.
16:00Where did you find him?
16:01Who?
16:04Bear.
16:05The one you called Ted.
16:06Where did you find him?
16:07I just found out
16:09that he is that idiot Paddy's dad.
16:17Ray's expecting me to go to the station.
16:21That's where you've got the bag.
16:24I was hoping you might be moving back in.
16:29You wanted me to come home?
16:32Yes, we still do.
16:33You belong here with us, April.
16:36Even now.
16:38Especially now.
16:41But I can't.
16:43Ray's sending me and Dylan on another run.
16:45You're going nowhere except upstairs to pack that.
16:47We'll fetch the rest of your stuff from your grandad's later.
16:48But if I don't show up, nothing...
16:49There is no way in hell
16:51that you're going to that station today, okay?
16:54Just give me and your dad a chance to...
16:57figure out what's next.
16:58Okay, sweetheart?
17:07You alright?
17:10Yeah, I'm just really sorry.
17:12We know.
17:14It's not your fault.
17:16This is all on Ray.
17:22Oh, my God.
17:24Oh, my God.
17:26Marlon, our poor little girl.
17:28This is Ray doing this to her.
17:30Ray!
17:32He's been using her for months.
17:34Right under our noses.
17:35I had no idea.
17:37We had no idea.
17:39We need to protect April.
17:40We've got to get her away from Ray.
17:41Get her to the police.
17:42Just put an end to a nightmare.
17:43For good.
17:45I like him.
17:47A bit bumbly, but they're now married to Jimmy.
17:50So I asked if he wanted to come and have tea with the kids tonight.
17:54Oh.
17:55What was his excuse this time for saying no?
17:57No.
17:58He said yes, he's coming.
18:00So why the mopey face?
18:01You should be grinning from ear to ear.
18:02Because he agreed and then he just ran off.
18:08Why?
18:10Work emergency.
18:11Again?
18:12Hmm.
18:14Well, I guess that's the nature of his job.
18:17I mean, you've been in the same position yourself enough times.
18:21Dropping everything to cover a shift at the height.
18:23Yeah, I guess.
18:26Did he try to put tonight off?
18:27No.
18:28No, he said wild horses wouldn't keep him away.
18:31Of course he's a smitten kitten.
18:33Yeah.
18:34Get yourself home.
18:35Get yourself scrubbed up.
18:36And settle into a lovely meal with a lovely man who thinks the world of you.
18:44Well, I'm really sorry, but I found him living out of a car near Oakley.
18:49He said he was dead to his family.
18:51How could I know he was from around here?
18:53First rule of recruitment.
18:54No locals.
18:56Well, he wasn't local when I found him.
18:57Enough whining.
18:58This 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.
19:10I have to accept it.
19:12You 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,
19:21saved us both the bother.
19:23But, um...
19:25I can't fix this.
19:26Can you?
19:28Ted is your mess to clean up.
19:29Actually, mess is plural, because Dylan also knows he's pretending he doesn't,
19:33but that little brat is a hopeless liar.
19:36He's not stupid. He'll keep his trap shut.
19:38And you'd know.
19:39He's planning something else he wouldn't be lying about Ted.
19:42Then I'll have a word.
19:44A word?
19:46A word.
19:51A word does nothing.
19:54You will take care of Dylan.
19:59And then...
20:01You will take care of Ted.
20:12What are you doing?
20:23We're going to the police station, love.
20:25We need you to tell the police everything you've just told us.
20:27No!
20:28No, no, we're not going to the police.
20:29Have you not listened to a thing I've said?
20:31April, these people are dangerous.
20:32This is so much bigger than us.
20:34No, no, no, because then Ray'll find out when he'll...
20:36The police will protect us from Ray.
20:37It's the only way.
20:38No!
20:39It's the worst way!
20:40No, Dad, stop, now!
20:41April...
20:42No, we can't tell the police anything, Dad.
20:44We just can't!
20:45We have to.
20:46We can't let Ray keep using you like this, hurting so many people.
20:49This is the right thing to do.
20:50No, it's not!
20:51April, please.
20:52Even Dylan agrees.
20:53That's why he wanted me to take you to the police,
20:55so you could tell them everything.
20:56No, but that's because Dylan doesn't know what I've done.
20:58I'm sure Dylan has done far worse.
21:00No, he hasn't!
21:01We know how dangerous these people are.
21:03We know what we're up against.
21:04No, no, you don't know anything because we can't...
21:06No, stop!
21:07Stop!
21:08We can't go to the police because I killed a man!
21:12I'm a...
21:13I'm a murderer.
21:14I'm a...
21:15I'm a...
21:16I'm a murderer.
21:17I'm a murderer.
21:18I'm a murderer.
21:19I...
21:20I don't know.
21:50I don't know.
