00:30Calvin, what do you mean? Who?
00:32I can't be telling you this.
00:34You've already started, love.
00:36Who's dead? Who you on about?
00:38No, no. If you know, they'll come for you, Dad.
00:41What, Ray will?
00:42Just stop, OK? Breathe. It's OK.
00:46No, it's not.
00:47Try and calm down, eh?
00:50I had to get him away from me.
00:53Someone attacked you?
00:55Who, April?
00:56No, whatever has happened, we're on your side.
01:00We will deal with this however you wish.
01:02You promise?
01:03I swear.
01:04Keep talking, yeah?
01:06Come on.
01:10Callum.
01:11Look, this guy, he thought I was going to sleep with him.
01:15But I couldn't do it.
01:18I panicked.
01:19I just grabbed this bottle.
01:22Killed him.
01:23Ray got rid of it, but then it helped cover it up.
01:27Oh, my God.
01:29He's been trying to make me sleep with men for one day.
01:33OK, it's OK.
01:34All right.
01:56See much of April?
01:58Not a peep.
01:59Fancy getting a pint, then?
02:02It'd be my 18th.
02:04Surely Paddy wants to buy your first legal pint.
02:07Strikes me as the type will have a little cry.
02:10I'll be fine.
02:11I'll meet and work.
02:12Hmm.
02:13Better be really cosy.
02:16Stevie Wonder on the jukebox.
02:18Candles, cake.
02:20A long, nostalgic look for the family album.
02:23What you on about?
02:24Ted.
02:30Yeah, what about him?
02:32Oh, come on.
02:33Grandad Ted?
02:35You know him, don't you?
02:39Is that your best poker face?
02:45Come inside.
02:46Let's have a little chat, birthday boy.
02:54This debt won't go away.
02:57It's just getting bigger.
03:00Rhea sent me on a drop.
03:02And this man, it was before the man that I...
03:08It's OK.
03:12He said I was a more important client so the money would be better.
03:17But then I got there and he...
03:21He was such a letch.
03:27And he just started saying weird things and trying to get me to do drugs with him.
03:32And...
03:33Then I realised that he was expecting me to...
03:40I must have been so scared, love.
03:46I freaked.
03:48And I just ran.
03:52Before he could try anything.
03:54But when I called back Celia...
03:57There's Mum.
03:58This is a family thing.
04:00She's in charge.
04:02She...
04:02She told me I'd have to do it again.
04:06I had to get used to it because I heard her, so I had no choice.
04:15Go on.
04:20The next guy, Callum...
04:22I told myself, just do it.
04:27Just do it.
04:28But he started taking his clothes off and I couldn't...
04:33I couldn't have been.
04:34And I just grabbed the nearest thing.
04:44And this bottle of vodka.
04:48And I just...
04:51It's okay.
04:54We're here.
05:00And then he stopped moving.
05:02And it's head.
05:05There was just...
05:06All this blood.
05:12I didn't know what to do.
05:16Then I...
05:16I realised he was dead.
05:20I'm a murderer.
05:21I'm a murderer.
05:39You gonna tell Celia?
05:42She's gone out.
05:43Doesn't really answer my question.
05:45I think I should be the one asking questions, don't you?
05:58Ted.
05:59What have you said to him?
06:00No.
06:03Paddy?
06:03Same.
06:05I'm loyal, alright?
06:06I learnt my lesson, haven't I?
06:07Already proven that.
06:08But this place, those out there...
06:10What, the...the employees?
06:14Well, if that's all they are, why is it so deep me knowing one of them?
06:17Is this what being an adult has done to you?
06:20You suddenly go a bit stupid.
06:24Right, well, are they allowed to leave whenever they want?
06:25Of course they are.
06:26Book a cruise if they fancy it.
06:29The filthy ray, alright?
06:31It stinks.
06:31Robbie's laid out, all cut up and bruised.
06:33Ain't good for him.
06:34Well, rub some cream on them.
06:36Give him a pedicure.
06:38Mate, I don't run that side of things.
06:40Come on, but surely you can see, Ray.
06:41It's...it's rotten to the core.
06:49April?
06:53Listen, you hit that man in self-defence, okay?
06:57So let's go to the police.
06:59Together.
07:00None of this is your fault.
07:01Don't say that.
07:02Do not say that.
07:04If it was really that simple, do you not think I would have gone to the police before?
07:07He will kill you.
07:08Well, he can threaten that, but he won't get a chance.
07:10Well, he got rid of the body.
07:11Exactly, love.
07:12He will be in prison.
07:13He'll tell the police that it was all me.
07:16You were coerced and attacked.
07:18He will twist it.
07:19There is not a jury in the world that would believe some two-bit drug dealer over you.
07:23Please tell her.
07:25Well, they wouldn't.
07:25Whatever Ray has been saying, whatever he's made you believe...
07:28He will shoot you.
07:29April?
07:30I know it.
07:30You're young and you're scared and you are imagining all sorts, but look, if we just
07:35go and tell the police, okay, I know it won't be easy, but eventually all of this will
07:41be over.
07:43Trust us.
07:44Please.
07:45Many happy returns.
08:02Tom.
08:04Not so rotten now, eh?
08:05Look, you sell drugs, I run drugs, yeah, but we ain't bad people.
08:14You say my mum is?
08:15No.
08:17She took me in.
08:18Yeah, like you did me.
08:19Helped me get back on my feet.
08:21Mm-hmm.
08:21But, you know, before me and April got serious, I thought that was the best my life would get.
08:27She makes you happier than I do.
08:28She makes you happier than I do.
08:29You do all right, yeah.
08:33Well, you know, you've been a bit of a dad to me recently, aren't you?
08:38No.
08:39Which is why I need to tell you something.
08:48Marlon knows.
08:49He pieced it together.
08:50I've seen that April ain't coping, so he's going to the police, all right?
08:57Might even be there now.
08:58Is this a birthday wine, Tom?
09:04But don't you see, Ray, this could be your chance.
09:13Because what makes you so different to them lot out there?
09:18Now, watch your mouth.
09:20I'm sorry, all right?
09:21I didn't mean to overstep.
09:22It's just sometimes I think like...
09:24You're way too gobby, yeah.
09:28That Celia uses you like she uses them.
09:31Look, this place, those people, homeless, scared, I was like that, Ray, and so were you.
09:41It's like we've just been sucked into it all, just like they have, all right?
09:46And do you really want to stay a part of it, because we don't have to, Ray, all right?
09:49We can walk away.
09:50What?
09:51Tell the police how it is, who it's always been, right from the start.
09:58Celia, Ray, she'd go down.
10:02Just imagine, no more being told what to do, all right?
10:05Living a proper life.
10:14April's upstairs, washing face.
10:17The whole world's imploding, you're offering me a custard cream.
10:19How has she been carrying on?
10:24Living every day with something that huge hanging over her?
10:28I mean, it must have been tearing her apart.
10:30My poor little girl.
10:32She's going to need so much help while I'm processing it, dealing with it.
10:36What do we do?
10:39We finish these, and then we go and report it.
10:42Let's just stop and think, OK?
10:48Is that the best idea?
10:51What are you doing?
10:52Criminals have made our teenage daughter deal drugs.
10:56No, they have tried to force her into prostitution.
11:00Yeah, but what if the police don't see it that way?
11:02I was innocent.
11:03I went to prison.
11:03The system doesn't always get it right.
11:05And Mum is dead, Rona.
11:07What's the alternative?
11:08We just let Ray and Celia carry on.
11:10No, no, I can't bear to see her going to any more harm.
11:14Neither can I, Marlon, but you've seen her.
11:16She's terrified.
11:18So we have to show her there's a way out.
11:20We have to put our trust in the police.
11:23That's the only real option we have.
11:25You don't play this game as long as I am without the police knowing who you are.
11:32OK, so maybe they've sussed your deal a little bit, all right?
11:35But they don't know why, the proper truth.
11:38Well, you're talking like I'm Snow White.
11:42Fine.
11:43I'll go, I'll tell them about Celia.
11:44You leg it.
11:45Go somewhere hot before it kicks off tape.
11:47Take Laurel.
11:47Oh, you're off your head, you.
11:49You just start again.
11:51Oh, yeah.
11:52Tenerife, me, her and a gig.
11:54Yeah, yeah, why not?
11:55A normal gig.
11:56That's what I want, not always looking over my shoulder.
11:58And to be honest, she seemed different since you met Laurel.
12:01What?
12:02Maybe she could put the one.
12:03Why are you pecking at my head?
12:08Because I want you to be happy.
12:10Oh, yeah, as long as it's ever that simple.
12:12But how will you ever know if you don't try?
12:17Well, come on, you must have wondered what life could have been like.
12:21If I hadn't fallen to Celia's lap?
12:23Yeah.
12:31Now it's Mum, she's on her way.
12:33She's on her way back.
12:36Oh, no.
12:41If we're going to go to the police, we'd better go now.
13:04Here we go.
13:11Thanks.
13:14So how much does Dylan know?
13:17Nothing about the men.
13:20Or what happened to Callum.
13:23You handled this all on your own?
13:28Shall we give this a brush?
13:31You're saying I look astir.
13:32I can't remember the last time I did this.
13:42A lifetime ago.
13:45Wish we could go back.
13:50You know,
13:51when I was with Pierce,
13:53I was so scared of what he might do,
13:56he made me believe that it was safer to stay quiet.
13:58But you...
14:02You didn't kill anybody.
14:04And Ray isn't Pierce.
14:06No.
14:06No.
14:08But imagine April,
14:09if I had said nothing.
14:12If I'd let it continue.
14:14Where might I be now?
14:17I don't know.
14:18Dead, maybe.
14:19So even though I was petrified,
14:24speaking up
14:25meant that I survived.
14:27You know, yes, it was a gamble.
14:30But some women,
14:31they never escape their abusers.
14:33So
14:33by talking to the police,
14:37I gave myself a fighting chance.
14:40So can you see what I'm saying?
14:45They're either where
14:46all of us might end up dead.
14:49Or it might all be okay.
14:53Yeah, your dad's right.
14:54I swear,
14:55we won't leave you side.
14:56No.
14:56We'll be like two
14:57very scary Rottweilers.
14:59So you're up for it?
15:02We might go to the police
15:03and now we're back in time for tea.
15:04Fish pie.
15:09I have this
15:10nightmare
15:12about Callum.
15:17Ray.
15:19And you.
15:19Oh, please.
15:21Please don't go.
15:22Please.
15:24April, nightmares aren't real.
15:28What you've been through is
15:29totally
15:31traumatic.
15:34But the police will find you
15:35someone to talk to
15:36who can help you
15:36sort your head out.
15:37Yeah, and the bad dreams
15:38will stop, love.
15:40You just have to take
15:41the first step.
15:49Okay.
15:50I'll do it.
15:51Yeah, hang on.
16:06I'm here, Mia.
16:07Oh, wow.
16:11You do know I can see your bra
16:14through that.
16:14Well, can you?
16:15If this is how you dress
16:17for a civilised family
16:18tea, I'd love to see you
16:19smoking.
16:20Oh, shut up, Nicola.
16:22I'll tell you what,
16:22can you help me with this
16:23button?
16:23I've got my hair
16:24wrapped around it.
16:25Yeah.
16:25Top on or off?
16:27No, on.
16:28What does that mean?
16:29Ow, don't move.
16:31No, you're pulling it.
16:31You're wiggling it.
16:33Oh, leave it, Nicola,
16:33honestly.
16:34I'll put my Cardi on,
16:36if you can see my bra.
16:37Oh, yeah.
16:39Yeah, because that's
16:40the perfect finish.
16:41Does Claudette know
16:42you've nicked her
16:43big passion-killing Cardi?
16:44Who says I'm looking
16:45for passion?
16:46Oh, I don't know.
16:48Possibly a certain
16:48little ray of sunshine.
16:52Oh, you're really into him.
16:54I'm not.
16:55Oh, just maybe
16:56a little ray of hope.
16:58Ah, that joke
17:00is already out now.
17:01No, it's my mileage, yeah.
17:02Right, I'm going to
17:02have to get cracking
17:03because I've promised
17:04Dottie that I'm going
17:04to get the Christmas
17:05decorations done before tea.
17:07Well, just tell her
17:07Mummy's had other
17:08things on her mind.
17:09Yeah, but Mummy
17:10hasn't had other
17:10things on her mind.
17:11Oh, cobblers.
17:13It jumped out you
17:14with the button.
17:15No, leave it.
17:15We'll ditch the dog
17:16blanket because
17:17Operation Ray
17:18is a go-go.
17:20Oh, leave it.
17:21Leave it.
17:22Oh, you're going
17:22to get some action.
17:23You're going to get
17:24some action.
17:24Sorry, sorry.
17:26Tea goes right through me.
17:27Right, I've texted Bob.
17:28He said he'll do
17:29the school and nursery run.
17:30That's great.
17:32All set?
17:33Yeah.
17:38Sorry.
17:39You should have knocked.
17:41No.
17:41No, Dad, get away
17:42from her now.
17:42Turn around.
17:44Walk away.
17:45Dad, don't!
17:45Go and get in the car.
17:46It's doing anything you want.
17:47You don't talk to my family
17:49like that.
17:49I never will again.
17:50We're going to the police.
17:51Well, I've got something
17:52to show you first.
17:52You damaged my child.
17:54You've got to do
17:54unspeakable things.
17:55It won't take long
17:56and you really ought to see this.
17:59I don't know if I can do this.
18:01I get it.
18:02It's a lot, all right,
18:03but it'll be worth it.
18:04You've met my mother.
18:06She doesn't take well
18:07to traitors.
18:08Oh, bless.
18:16Grandad Bob.
18:18You look so young there.
18:21So pretty.
18:21Just say your piece
18:22and get out.
18:24You're not going to offer me
18:25a cuppa, April?
18:28What, you scared of her?
18:29I didn't say that, did I?
18:31Honestly, I don't blame you
18:33if you did, all right?
18:34I've seen what she can do, Ray.
18:39That's all I've known.
18:41Yeah, but is it
18:42all you want, though?
18:44Celia has raised me.
18:46I might be dead without her.
18:49Or maybe not.
18:51You're saying
18:51I don't know my own mind.
18:53No, no, of course not.
18:53All I'm saying is
18:54I think she's clever, yeah?
18:56Good at getting in your head
18:57and she gets people like you,
18:59especially,
18:59to do whatever she wants.
19:01Whatever
19:01warped
19:03intimidation
19:05used on kids
19:05doesn't work on us.
19:06In fact, I'm really bored.
19:07Yeah, me too.
19:08It's off you, Pop.
19:09Actually, no, let me give you a hand.
19:10Dad!
19:13What, so I'm...
19:14So I'm some kind of
19:15victim here?
19:17I don't know, maybe, yeah.
19:19Look, me and all,
19:20and I didn't see it,
19:21but I can now.
19:22All right?
19:23She's a nutter.
19:24A bully.
19:25And it's like she's got
19:26this hold over us, yeah?
19:27But without you, Ray,
19:28she's done for.
19:31Yeah.
19:33Yeah.
19:33Yeah.
19:36Let's go.
19:37Open the gate.
19:39Yeah.
19:46Tell him to remove his hands.
19:52That's what I've been waiting for.
19:56Gather round.
19:57Don't give her the satisfaction.
19:58She's just stalling.
19:59Oh, come on.
20:00I don't want you
20:01to miss the moment.
20:04Who is it?
20:04It's just a car.
20:05It's not just a car.
20:07It's Ray's car.
20:09April?
20:13Who's that?
20:16Dylan.
20:17Dylan.
20:17Dylan.
20:24...
20:28...
20:32...
20:36...
20:37My sincerest condolences, April.
20:51No, no.
20:55I need to get to it.
20:57You're insane.
20:57What the hell is this?
20:58She was warned.
20:59He's dead.
21:00You know as much as I do.
21:01Oh, the joy of live video calls.
21:03Now, let's all sit down.
21:07I am not the victim here.
21:24The dad you never had, right?
21:28Now, you dirty little grass.
21:34Your new life's not started out too well, has it?
21:36Well, it's a good job I'm feeling charitable.
21:45This one's on me.
21:46I don't know why you're bothering.
22:04Yeah, I know, but once the Christmas deckies go up, it's impossible to clean round, isn't it?
22:08I'm sure Ray won't notice.
22:09But he enjoys getting down and dirty.
22:11Nicola?
22:12Oh, stop with the butterwooden mullet and the glint in your eye.
22:16First time in a while, mind.
22:18Yeah.
22:18I mean, Jay never really quite got me.
22:22Oh, don't sanitise on my behalf.
22:25I'd rather sit on a spin dryer than spend the night with Jay.
22:29I was married to him.
22:32I mean, there was something, wasn't there?
22:37Hmm, mystified me.
22:38I mean, no offence, but I always knew that he'd never made you feel the way that Ashley did, did he?
22:44No, nowhere near.
22:45How could he?
22:46You know, he was the love of my life.
22:50I envy everything that you and Jimmy have together, you know?
22:53High blood pressure.
22:54I see the way he makes you smile.
22:57Yeah, struggle not to with that face.
22:59Come here.
23:00He treats you like a queen.
23:02Laurel, he brought me a hand whisk for my birthday.
23:05Because you asked for it.
23:07Yeah.
23:09I guess it's not a bad stick.
23:11But, you know, just because you've not felt true love since Ashley doesn't mean it won't happen again.
23:17You know, with Ray, it's...
23:19I don't know, it feels different.
23:23This thing that we have, it feels...
23:26It feels really good.
23:27I knew it!
23:29Is he a good snog?
23:30What?
23:31I've no idea.
23:32Oh, you're a big fibber.
23:32No, honestly, we've just had like a peck on the cheek.
23:35That's all, honestly.
23:37Let's get upstairs and get those Christmas decorations down.
23:40Get this in plastic mistletoe up there.
23:42You are insufferable.
23:43I know, but you'll thank me later.
23:46I need to get to him.
23:47Don't you have to help me get to him?
23:49Tell us where he is.
23:50There is a young lad out there somewhere, bleeding to death.
23:52And you expect us to just sit here?
23:54Dylan liked to talk.
23:57Surely she's the one you want to protect?
24:00From you?
24:00From the law.
24:01Everything that has happened to her is because of you.
24:04She's a murderer.
24:04You forced her to sleep with men.
24:06No, she cheated on her boyfriend.
24:08What?
24:09A promiscuous drug dealer.
24:10Don't you dare.
24:11Battered a punter to death after a row over a goat.
24:14And then paid Lord knows who to bury the body.
24:18Stop it!
24:18Don't love, please.
24:19Come on, come on, come on.
24:20I'm just saying it as the police will see it.
24:23It's for your own good, sweetie.
24:34Ted?
24:35Here.
24:36Get this clean.
24:38I want to be able to eat my dinner off of it.
24:41Don't do.
24:41You, uh, you met our new lad earlier?
24:44A youngster.
24:46Recognise him?
24:48No, but he reckoned he knew my son.
24:51Ah, he's a liar.
24:52One of those that tries to get friendly so he can rob you blind.
24:56Right.
24:56I'll keep an eye on him.
24:58Ah, don't bother.
25:00He won't be coming back.
25:03You just killed an innocent kid.
25:05Innocent?
25:06Have you been living in a cave?
25:07He wanted out of your sick world, so your thug of a son run him over.
25:10Lessons have to be learned.
25:12And now you plan to report me.
25:14It's a hit and run.
25:15The police will be all over it.
25:16Oh, Ray's a gem at covering his tracks.
25:18Lucky for you, eh, April?
25:19Hiding a body?
25:20How did that help?
25:21All Ray has done is incriminate himself even more.
25:23I appreciate your concern.
25:25You'll go down for this.
25:26For years.
25:27You will rot in there.
25:28Perhaps, but you won't get to see it.
25:30Oh, we will.
25:30No, dear, you won't.
25:32Because before I set foot in a courtroom,
25:34you, uh, Leo, well, all of you,
25:37will be dealt with.
25:38You're threatening us.
25:39I never threaten anyone.
25:40I simply give instructions.
25:43Anyway, I'm glad we had this chance to chat.
25:47Makes things much easier.
25:48Now we can talk openly.
25:49You expect us to just accept this?
25:52Yes.
25:52Then you're even madder than you look.
25:54We're in a job.
25:55Get out of my house.
25:57Stay away from my family,
25:58or I swear you will wish you had never met me.
26:00Tis the season to be jolly.
26:04Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
26:06Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
26:09La-la!
26:11Is it too early, Nicola?
26:12No, Chris Rea starts driving home in October.
26:16Oh, I tell you what,
26:17some of these are really tatty.
26:19Here, pass us that bag.
26:20I'm going to have a good old clear out.
26:22Out with the old,
26:24in with the new.
26:24That goes for blokes as well as more.
26:26Shut up.
26:28Hey, um,
26:30will Ray be spending Christmas with his family?
26:32I don't know.
26:33Maybe.
26:35I can see Celia tanked up on Sherry
26:37and doing the conga.
26:38I do what.
26:39I thought my mum was odd.
26:43They're saying that, you know.
26:44Ray's really good with the kids.
26:46Especially Dossie.
26:48Yeah, I love Dylan.
26:49Oh, yeah.
26:49Taking him under his wing.
26:50Yeah, they're really close.
26:52You know,
26:53any fella
26:54that can keep a teenage lad
26:55on the straight and narrow
26:56is worth his weight in gold.
26:57Yeah, I know.
26:59I look at Arthur,
27:00slobbing about upstairs,
27:01now you need off the cards.
27:03What he needs
27:03is a really good
27:05male role model.
27:07Oh, great.
27:08Now who are you foisting on me?
27:10Hi, love.
27:10I didn't see you there.
27:13Er, I booked you ice skating
27:14with Rodney.
27:15Oh, kill me now.
27:17Oi.
27:18Rude.
27:19What's my dad you're dissing?
27:20Well, that's a fair point.
27:22You were all about that guy, weren't you?
27:23Yeah.
27:24What, Ray?
27:25Why?
27:26Do I sense a dislike?
27:28Seems pretty average.
27:30Oh, well, lovely.
27:31Right, I'm slobbing off on my game.
27:33Hmm.
27:34Pretty average.
27:35High phrase indeed.
27:37What's here?
27:39What now?
27:39Well, I've got a boy
27:40that's turned into
27:41a monosyllabic man-child
27:43and here's me
27:45trying to play happy families
27:46with some guy
27:47who keeps rushing off
27:48to flog combine harvest.
27:51That's ridiculous.
27:55Oh, there's a song about that.
27:58Lady, change of plan.
28:00You're not going anywhere.
28:01We need you to work.
28:01Ray will text you with the details.
28:04Did you hear me?
28:04That's just not happening.
28:05Oh, I'd assumed
28:08you were intelligent people
28:09but I see it needs spelling out.
28:13There are rules.
28:15April owes me money.
28:17I know who you are.
28:19I know where you work.
28:20I know where you live.
28:21I know that Leo goes to judo.
28:23That Ivy has toddlers.
28:24If you touch my kid!
28:25Oh, Rona!
28:26No!
28:27Don't!
28:27Rona!
28:28Your family is now my family.
28:36I want to protect April
28:37but if she can't remain loyal
28:39I can't do that.
28:41And that's when accidents happen.
28:43Cars crash.
28:44Houses burn.
28:45Throats get slit.
28:48Death is indiscriminate.
28:53Her boyfriend broke the rules
28:54and you saw what happened.
28:56I can make that happen again
28:59at any time
29:00to anyone.
29:02Don't give me reason.
29:07Are you getting the picture?
29:10Are you all
29:12getting the picture?
29:18Good.
29:21Nice chat.
29:26I'm so sorry.
29:28She scratched you.
29:29You're a kisser.
29:30It's nothing.
29:30It's fine.
29:31It's not though, is it?
29:32I just stood there.
29:34I didn't know what to do.
29:35No, none of us did.
29:37That bullock's a psychopath.
29:38Oh, sorry.
29:51Paddy.
29:51Er, listen, Paddy.
29:54Mackenzie was worried
29:54about one of the bullocks
29:55at the, er...
29:56I can't, Moira.
29:57Sorry.
29:57Well, is there a fire somewhere?
30:07Hmm, nothing too serious, I hope.
30:10Anyway, I've got a strange feeling
30:13that you're going to buy me a drink.
30:14Oh, you've been reading
30:15the tea leaves again.
30:17Even better.
30:18I met with Purdy's farm shop
30:19and they're going to stock
30:20our premium great turkeys.
30:22Whoa, whoa.
30:23The posh one.
30:24The one that overcharges
30:26for those revolting kale smoothies.
30:28Yep, and they are going to pay us
30:29top whack.
30:30Oh, you clever girl.
30:32And yes, you're right.
30:33My round.
30:38Er, or we can do it later
30:40if you've got things to do.
30:41No, I can spare at least half an hour.
30:43I had some staff in your shoes
30:45but they've been resolved.
30:46Come on, let's go and raise a glass.
30:48To a very prosperous Christmas.
30:51Thank you, darling, you think.
30:54This is on my phone.
30:58I should have never said anything,
31:00never opened my mouth.
31:01April, you needed to speak up.
31:04I didn't.
31:06I didn't because I've caused all of this.
31:09Dylan's dead and you're hurt
31:11and it's just all my fault.
31:15It's me.
31:16It's urgent.
31:17Are you in?
31:17Mandy.
31:19Look, Dylan, what do we tell you?
31:21I'm really, really sorry.
31:22Have you, have you two...
31:25Oh, no, no, no.
31:26It was a dog.
31:28It just caught me with its claw.
31:29So April was upset.
31:30It's fine.
31:31I'm sorry.
31:31My timing's terrible.
31:33Look, there's been an accident.
31:34It's Dylan.
31:35This man on the top road,
31:37you saw him later.
31:38They think he's been run over.
31:40Where is he?
31:40Hot in general.
31:41Paddy's on his way there now.
31:42And he's alive.
31:44That's all I know, sweetheart.
31:47Well, I need to be with him.
31:49Someone take me to him, please.
31:50I'll get your coat.
31:52Mandy, we'll meet you there.
31:53Oh, but hey, if you're here.
32:16And the one's bringing it to me, yeah?
32:18How is he?
32:19He's in surgery.
32:20What have they said?
32:26Whoever did this?
32:29Whoever just left him like that?
32:31In the road?
32:32I know, sweetheart.
32:33It's disgusting, man.
32:34But listen, we've...
32:35We've got to give all our energy
32:37and focus on Dylan.
32:38Okay?
32:42It's his birthday.
32:47I was 18 years old today.
32:50The doctor said to be ready for the worst.
32:53I told Ted to use more elbow grease.
33:09He knows how to do a decent clean-up.
33:11Did you, uh, did you ask him if you knew Dylan?
33:17He said no.
33:19It's irrelevant now, anyway.
33:22Ray?
33:23Mm-hmm?
33:23Did you call an ambulance?
33:25Did you?
33:27No.
33:27But I saw Paddy rushing around.
33:29I imagine someone's found him.
33:31I did the job right.
33:35I know.
33:37Let's hope they froze the leftovers from his birthday party.
33:40They can use them for his wake.
33:44Oh, good job you phoned me when you did.
33:48April and her dad were just about to leave.
33:50Two minutes later, this place would have been swarming.
33:53Dylan reckoned Marlon had guessed.
33:56Still didn't have the guts to admit he'd ratted us out, though, did he?
34:00I'm sorry.
34:03Even after he stole from you, you wanted to see the best in him.
34:06Trust him.
34:09You didn't?
34:10Yeah, well, a bit longer in the tooth than you.
34:15Filthy snitch.
34:17Wanted to destroy the entire set-up.
34:20Thought you could play God.
34:22Only room for one God around here.
34:27You've been drinking?
34:29I...
34:30I may have had a couple with Moira.
34:38What for?
34:40I had hoped that Dylan might step up one day,
34:44but today made me realise
34:47there is only one person in this miserable world
34:51that I can trust.
34:53Yeah, the medics were real.
35:04Yeah, they've done the best they can under the circumstances.
35:06Oh, yes.
35:08Well, they found him on the road.
35:09It's a crime scene.
35:11Are you going to tell Paddy that it was Ray?
35:13What good would he do?
35:14Now I've made you online.
35:16No, because it keeps everyone safe.
35:18If Paddy knows anything about Ray or Celia or anybody,
35:21it's one more person, one more family that's in danger.
35:23Come on.
35:23Are you all right, mate?
35:29Oh, is he?
35:30Um, he's still in surgery.
35:32I've not had any other update.
35:34It'll be no news.
35:35It's good news, eh?
35:36So they think he'll be okay?
35:37They said that his injuries are bad
35:42and the fact that he was lying there for a while.
35:44They're just amazed that he's made it this far.
35:48So they think he's going to die?
35:49Oh, sweetheart, what these surgeons can do nowadays,
35:51honestly, it's amazing.
35:53Stop it!
35:54Just tell me what they said.
35:57They said to prepare ourselves
35:58and that it's not good.
36:01I'm so sorry.
36:02Come here.
36:04Oh.
36:04What do the police say?
36:08Well, not much.
36:09Apart from the chap that found him, there's no other witnesses.
36:11I bet you anyone it was somebody that's drunk.
36:13I bet they've gone out,
36:14I bet they've had a skin for him and they've driven home.
36:16Leave him there like that, on his own.
36:20I know.
36:22Well, someone knows something.
36:24That's not a sort of secret that anyone
36:26with any kind of conscience keeps to themselves, is it?
36:28No.
36:29Shall we get it through?
36:30No, we'll wait here, see if there's any news.
36:33Right.
36:33Oh.
36:39You need to go home now.
36:41What?
36:42Now.
36:43Ivy and Leo will be back by now
36:44and Rona's on her own with them.
36:46But we can't live like this.
36:47Please.
36:48I'll tell Paddy that you've had to go and pick Leo up.
36:51Just make sure they're OK.
36:54Go.
36:54Now, go.
36:55Go.
36:55Go.
37:04Go.
37:04Go.
37:05Go.
37:05Go.
37:05Go.
37:05Go.
37:05Go.
37:06I don't know.
37:36I see you, sir.
37:41Right, April.
37:44We saw the doctor.
37:45And?
37:47Please tell me he's gonna be alright.
37:49Well, he's out of surgery, right, but he's still critical, yeah?
37:51Hey, at least he's still with us.
37:54He's in a coma.
37:57Erm.
37:58What?
38:00What is it you're not telling me?
38:03He found drugs in his system.
38:06What?
38:08Drugs?
38:09Yeah, narcotics.
38:12Heroin.
38:13No.
38:14No, that can't be right, though.
38:16He wasn't enough to overdose, but he was enough to mess with his head.
38:18Possibly cause an accident.
38:20Yeah, they think he might have fallen over in the road, and then he was hit.
38:25Can I see him?
38:26No, no, no.
38:26He's still in intensive care.
38:28Look, they've told us it's gonna be a while.
38:31Look, he wouldn't do drugs.
38:34He was clean, alright?
38:35Yeah.
38:36That was me forcing all that stupid birthday stuff on him.
38:38He stopped talking silly.
38:40He didn't even want it.
38:41That's why he didn't turn up.
38:43It was me putting too much pressure on him, and that's why he went out and scored.
38:45It wasn't like that.
38:47Well, what, did he tell you anything?
38:51No, I just, I know he was fine.
38:53April, they found drugs in his body.
38:55How else did they flippin' get there?
38:58Listen.
39:00Whatever you think, this is not your fault.
39:02Well, thank you very much.
39:04I disagree.
39:05I disagree.
39:05Where's April?
39:15She's still staying at the hospital with Mundy and Paddy.
39:17Right, and Dylan?
39:20Afternoon, folks.
39:23Is, er, is Flossie about?
39:26Her name's April.
39:27Go inside.
39:29I bet my, er, my home video caused some right grief.
39:33How do you sleep at night?
39:36Oh, chamomile tea, a spot of Julie Cooper.
39:38I'm out like a light.
39:41I take it she mentioned her little mishap with the vodka bottle?
39:47Ah, that little look you did there tells me yes.
39:52Well, you also know that I helped her sort it.
39:54Seems like you've got the bodies piling up.
39:57It's a good job we're on the same side then, isn't it, Marlon?
39:59Hey, up, champ.
40:02How was you, though?
40:04Er, go back inside, yeah, yeah, cos it's cold, yeah?
40:07Yeah, yeah, don't come out here, mate.
40:10You'll catch her death.
40:13Aye, aye.
40:14Totty at three o'clock.
40:19Hiya!
40:20I bet he's worked up an appetite.
40:24Looks like I'm leaving at just the right time.
40:26Oh, come on.
40:26I've got a house full of tacky tinsel and kids.
40:29I'm hardly a man magnet.
40:32Bye!
40:33I'm going now!
40:36Tell, er, Flossie I'll text her.
40:39It's OK to dump this here, isn't it?
40:46She's got kids.
40:47We've got a Warner.
40:47So have we, Marlon.
40:50So you made it, then.
40:52How was work?
40:53Work?
40:54Ah, well, the trick is to not get too stressed about it.
41:04Um, is that invite for tea still on?
41:07Yeah, yeah, I think I can squeeze you in.
41:10Hey, Dottie, you're doing a good job there.
41:28When's tea ready?
41:29Er, now.
41:30So, can you get off your phone, shift your feet, please?
41:32Because we have guests.
41:33Well, a guest.
41:34Oh, er, don't go moving on my account, mate.
41:36Er, no, because the pie's going to burn.
41:38Please.
41:41Hormones.
41:43You know, saying that is just rude.
41:46Take a pin.
41:46Yeah.
41:47Please, will you help me put some bubbles up, pie?
41:50Oh, sweetheart, um, Ray doesn't want to do that quite yet.
41:53Your mum thinks I'll make it look like a dog's dinner.
41:56Which I might, but would that be okay?
42:00That'd be lovely.
42:01Yeah?
42:03Yeah, which one?
42:04Ah, that one.
42:05Yeah, good choice.
42:07Yeah, this one.
42:09Something wrong.
42:09It's April.
42:14Mandy's bringing her home soon.
42:17Any news on Dylan?
42:19How did he even survive that?
42:22Do you reckon Ray knows he's still alive?
42:25As best he doesn't.
42:27If Dylan does come through, then he'll be a brilliant key witness.
42:30Like Dylan would ever dare open his mouth again.
42:34Ray's got a slate missing.
42:35Celia's worse.
42:38How did we get here, Marlon?
42:40How did we suddenly lose control of our lives?
42:45I don't know.
42:47I feel like we've been sleepwalking into a nightmare.
42:50Please tell me we're going to wake up soon.
42:55After today.
42:57Honestly.
42:59Honestly.
43:00I really think they could kill us.
43:02I won't let them.
43:03How do we stop them, eh?
43:05I mean, Dylan, did they know that he tipped you off?
43:08Was it a warning?
43:09To us?
43:10I mean, as if you'd go that far just to prove a point.
43:13Don't cry.
43:14Please don't cry.
43:15Don't cry.
43:15Listen to me.
43:16Listen.
43:17Listen.
43:17I accept right now, in this moment, I don't know what to do.
43:27But if we can protect April and Ivy and Leo, we can at least keep some control.
43:32But you heard them.
43:34Ray's going to make April carry on.
43:36No, never.
43:37Because everywhere she goes, I'll follow.
43:39Every person she meets, I'm there.
43:41We're going to get her out of this, Rona.
43:42Whatever it takes, whatever we have to do.
43:44This is going to end.
43:46This is going to end.
43:46It's going to end.
43:51It's going to end.
