00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Hey! Hey! You know what? You alright? Yeah. What time is it? I don't know. It's morning.
00:47Where is he John? Where is he? John? John! You don't think he's gonna have to think do you?
00:59Oh god no. We need to get out of here while we've got a chance. Help! Help!
01:12Every lesson you taught made me more and more like you. In the end, I stopped feeling anything. Until I met Laurel.
01:24I don't know what this is mum. I don't know where it's going. But it feels like my last chance to be someone and I cannot do that with you around.
01:38Because she won't allow it. She would end up dead.
01:50I suppose I should feel something.
01:53Grief. Guilt, maybe. Spent all night waiting for it.
02:05All I feel...
02:08is free.
02:17Well, I don't think you are doing everything you can. Because she's been missing for two days. Two days! She could be anywhere by now. Forget it. Just...
02:23This is ridiculous. They're telling us not to do anything to jeopardise the investigation. But we can't just sit here and do nothing.
02:32Stuff what they say. I'm going up to that farm to look for her. Ray and Celia could still be there. And if they are, there's a good chance they're police too.
02:37And please, be careful. These people are dangerous. The last thing we want to do is make things worse.
02:43Worse? How could things possibly be worse? She's leaving with them to protect us. It should be me protecting her!
02:49I know, love. I know. But the important thing is getting April back. If they're there, then call me and we'll figure out what to do next.
02:57Like what? Like, get some kind of backup.
03:00OK, that's a good idea.
03:03They're not taking her away from us. They're not. I won't let them.
03:05I won't let them.
03:23Oh, Ted!
03:28I'm so sorry, mate.
03:35Ross.
03:36Who goes there?
03:46Ross, what's that?
03:50What's what?
03:52What's poking into my lower back?
03:55Don't flatter yourself, babe.
04:04Oh, God. Get off.
04:10What happened?
04:14There was a wedding.
04:17And there was tequila.
04:18You sang a weirdly intense version of Always by Bon Jovi on the karaoke.
04:26Vanessa was, um...
04:28What about her?
04:30No, she was, she was hammered.
04:35Me and Tracy had to take her home, but she was, um...
04:38She was saying something, what...
04:41Was it, never sing in public ever again?
04:44Er...
04:46No, it was...
04:50It was something about the baby.
04:52A baby.
04:53What about it?
04:57Er...
05:00She wasn't at Sarah's.
05:10It's not happening.
05:12We need to keep trying.
05:14Dread to think what that psycho's doing with Harry and Victoria right now.
05:17He said he wouldn't hurt him.
05:19He loves them.
05:20Yeah, he says he loves you too.
05:21And he keeps you drugged and tied up all night.
05:24Yeah, but these aren't going anywhere, are they?
05:25No.
05:27I don't know, I'm gonna have to try and talk our way out of this.
05:30Yeah, I think he's done talking.
05:32I just...
05:34I just need...
05:35To make him think there's a, there's...
05:37There's, I don't know, there's a way out of this that I still love him.
05:39I hate to question your acting skills, but I think we need to come up with a solid plan B.
05:45Robert.
05:48This is the only way that I can see us surviving this.
05:50No.
05:52Killing him first is the only way we survive this.
05:56Come on.
06:02So, quick.
06:03I don't know why you didn't go when we stopped off.
06:06I didn't need it then.
06:07Yeah.
06:10Oh.
06:12Right.
06:14Let's have a cup of tea.
06:16Oh.
06:19Hello, sis.
06:21It's good to see you.
06:23Harry.
06:24Hey, hey.
06:26No!
06:27No! Get off!
06:28Stop fighting me!
06:29Get off me!
06:30I'm not...
06:31I'm not gonna hurt you.
06:32Mummy!
06:33Stay upstairs, darling, okay?
06:35Don't come down!
06:38Please don't hurt him.
06:41How could you think such a thing?
06:43Because...
06:45You're a murderer!
06:46I'm not.
06:47I'm not.
06:48You cannot believe that.
06:49I never meant to kill anyone, I swear.
06:51Why are you here?
06:53I couldn't stay away forever, could I?
06:55You and me.
06:57Aaron and Harry.
06:58We are family.
06:59We cannot let anyone come between us.
07:06Please.
07:08Don't be scared.
07:10This will not hurt a bit.
07:14Oh!
07:15Caleb!
07:16Oh!
07:17Do you know, even when he's away, he's on me back.
07:19Do you know, he's even got me driving vans now.
07:22I mean, me!
07:24I'm the executive director of...
07:25Executive director of operations, yeah, you've said.
07:28You like driving, though, don't you?
07:30Yeah, I do, but he doesn't need to know that.
07:33I've got to run to Manchester this afternoon,
07:35so I thought I'd take the opportunity to pick up Archie a new bike.
07:37Aw!
07:39Aw!
07:40Same again, I'd better take it this time.
07:41See ya.
07:43Coffee there?
07:44Yes, to go, please.
07:45You're looking very chirpy this morning.
07:48Did Ray spend the night?
07:49He didn't.
07:51He's telling his mum that he's not moving away,
07:53so, fingers crossed, she will respect his decision.
07:58What, is Ray still here?
08:00Yeah.
08:01It's good news, isn't it?
08:03So where's April then?
08:04You haven't heard from her, have you?
08:05No.
08:06What's April got to do with Ray?
08:08Er, sorry, I need to go.
08:09Well, hang on, is April still not home?
08:12Is everything okay?
08:13I don't know, I don't know.
08:15What is it, Dylan?
08:18Look, how well do you actually know Ray?
08:21Well enough.
08:22Hey!
08:23Where is she?
08:24Where's April?
08:25She's not here, go home.
08:26I know what you're doing.
08:27She wouldn't have gone anywhere with you off a bit.
08:28Oh!
08:29Well, I hate to break it to you, Marlon, but it was April's decision to leave.
08:33Because you threatened us.
08:34You didn't give her a choice.
08:35April's never done anything she doesn't want to.
08:36Because you coerced her.
08:37You groomed her.
08:38Do you really think that any of this would have happened if things had been better at
08:39home?
08:40I'm not going to take lessons in parenting from the likes of you.
08:41Oh, believe me.
08:42I know all about controlling parents.
08:43And she is better off without you.
08:44Where is she?
08:45I don't know, Marlon, but what I do know is she ain't coming back.
08:48What does that mean?
08:49What have you done to her?
08:50Have you hurt her?
08:51I'm sorry to...
08:52You are pathetic.
08:53Do you know that?
08:54Do you know that?
08:55Do you know that?
08:56I just want my little girl back!
09:11Your little girl is gone!
09:13If you come sniffing about here again, you're a dead man!
09:19Okay?
09:20I don't know.
09:21What is that?
09:22What is that?
09:23So did you have to go with Ross?
09:29Yeah it was alright. I actually heard something weird last night then.
09:33Oh here we go.
09:34Yeah it didn't really make a lot of sense. It was something about the baby.
09:40Like what?
09:43Come on then. What have you heard?
09:47That the baby might not be Sarah's.
09:53I'm good.
09:59You're both awake.
10:01Where have you been?
10:03Making arrangements?
10:05If it's for your funeral I wouldn't expect big numbers.
10:10I've been thinking about everything you said and...
10:14You're right.
10:16This is all on me.
10:19I'm really sorry.
10:21No. Maybe it's not all on you.
10:24I can't imagine anyone loving me as much as you have.
10:29And I'll let you down.
10:30You can't seriously be considering getting back with him.
10:33John's my husband.
10:35I made a commitment.
10:36No.
10:42A few months ago I might have fallen for this but...
10:45Words aren't enough anymore.
10:48You need to prove it to me.
10:54How?
10:56If you really are as sorry as you say you are...
11:00...you'll stick this in his neck.
11:03And free yourself of him once and for all.
11:05Right, come on then. What's Ross been saying?
11:23What makes you think it's Ross?
11:26Well, because you spent the night of his and now you're asking stupid questions.
11:30Right, well, from the way that you're reacting I'm starting to think if there's some truth in it.
11:35The baby's Sarah and Jacob's.
11:38Swear on your life.
11:40Babe, I swear!
11:41Right, okay, well, why would Vanessa say that it's not?
11:54You can't ask me to do this.
11:57You ruined my life.
11:59You won't do this one thing for me.
12:02I don't have to kill someone to prove to you that I love you.
12:06The job that I fell in love with has never asked me to do this.
12:10Well, things are different now.
12:13Yeah.
12:15I messed up.
12:17I'm not perfect.
12:19But it's you that I love.
12:22And it's you that I choose.
12:24And I'll prove it to you right now.
12:26That by leaving with you we'll...
12:29...we'll go to France, we'll start new lives.
12:32But nobody needs to die.
12:35Why France?
12:36Why not Timbuktu?
12:37Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we go live with the elves?
12:39Well, you just shut up!
12:41You can't help yourself, can you?
12:43You always have to make things worse.
12:45I'm trying to save you from your psycho ex!
12:47Hey! I don't need saving, not by you!
12:52So you'd do it?
12:54You'd willingly come with me?
12:58Yeah.
12:59I know it's not gonna be easy.
13:02But I'm willing to put the work in...
13:04...if it means us being together again.
13:09King.
13:16And if you won't kill him?
13:18John, John!
13:20Looks like it's on me.
13:21John! John! No, please! John!
13:24John! Please!
13:26John, I promise you, I will leave with you.
13:29I will leave with you right now.
13:32But only if he's alive.
13:37Tracy and I took her home and then she said that the baby wasn't Sarah's.
13:41And that's it?
13:43That's it.
13:45And you believe her?
13:47I didn't.
13:49Then I thought maybe it might be mine.
13:51Or I thought maybe there was a mix-up at the clinic.
13:53But then you started acting all weird and...
13:56Mark.
13:57Listen to me.
13:59Vanessa has been in a really bad place since Susie died.
14:03She's lonely, she's been drinking loads.
14:07Okay.
14:08Okay, well a few months ago she got drunk again.
14:11And she tried to kiss me.
14:16Sorry.
14:18And what did you do?
14:20I put her straight.
14:22Told her I was in a committed, loving relationship.
14:24But I don't know, maybe I should have been harsher.
14:26Because ever since then she's not left me alone.
14:28I don't know, it's like she's obsessed with me.
14:33Oh my God.
14:35Is that what the speech yesterday was all about?
14:37I think it was.
14:38Yeah.
14:39She's bitter, she's jealous.
14:41And I think she's using this baby thing to try and drive a wedge between us.
14:44No.
14:45No, no, no, no, no.
14:46That is not okay.
14:48Mac, wait.
14:49She's in a real mess.
14:50The last thing she needs is us going in on her.
14:52Charity, she needs telling.
14:53She's trying to sabotage our marriage.
14:54But we're not gonna let her do that though, are we?
14:56She's probably at home right now drinking herself into oblivion.
14:58We just need to steer well clear.
15:01And please know this.
15:03There is nothing to worry about, okay?
15:05I promise.
15:08Fine.
15:09Yeah, sorry.
15:10Yeah.
15:11No, it's fine.
15:12Listen, are we good?
15:16We're good.
15:18I love you, you know.
15:20I love you.
15:22Bye, yes.
15:24Bye.
15:35Hey, is your mum about?
15:36She's late.
15:40You might be able to help me with something, actually.
15:43Theoretically speaking, how difficult would it be to fudge an official document to make it look legit?
15:51Ooh.
15:52What are you thinking?
15:54Nothing.
15:55Just curious.
15:57Well, it's not easy.
16:00I mean, for it to look convincing, you actually need to know what you're doing.
16:06Right.
16:08Thanks.
16:10You should ask Charity.
16:11She'll do it for you.
16:14Charity?
16:16Yeah, she asked me a similar question a couple of months ago.
16:20I gave her a tutorial on it.
16:23I tried to think what she's been up to.
16:27Oh!
16:28Peaky devil.
16:29What time do you go again?
16:31Sorry if I'm one of them mornings.
16:33Me and you need to talk.
16:35What, now?
16:36Yeah.
16:37In private.
16:39Well, I'll have to wait.
16:40I'll have to run.
16:51What are you doing here?
16:53I've got something to tell you.
16:55I've got nothing to say to you.
16:56Can you get off my property, please?
16:58Laurel, Laurel!
16:59What's going on?
17:00What's wrong?
17:01I've just spoken to Dylan and I can't actually believe what I've just heard.
17:09What did he say?
17:10That you're a monster.
17:11A monster.
17:13But Laurel, I did it.
17:14I stood up to her.
17:15To who?
17:16To Mum, to Celia.
17:17She can't hurt us anymore.
17:18We can be together.
17:19Me, you and the kids.
17:21I don't want you anywhere near my kids.
17:23I would never hurt them or you.
17:24But it's okay to hurt Dylan and April and God knows how many other children.
17:28But Laurel, I love you.
17:29Being here with you has been the best time of my life.
17:32No.
17:33You don't deserve a life.
17:35But Laurel, you've no idea what I have done for us.
17:38No, there is no us.
17:39Okay?
17:40Whatever we had is over.
17:42Get that into your head!
17:44Laurel!
17:46Laurel!
17:48Laurel, please don't do this!
17:50Laurel!
17:52Laurel!
17:53No, we were fine.
17:55Before he came back.
17:56We...
17:57were happy.
17:58Yeah, we can be happy again.
18:00We'll start a new life somewhere else.
18:02He'll never be able to find us.
18:03John, come on.
18:05He doesn't matter to me anymore.
18:06I don't want to be with anyone else.
18:07Aaron, no!
18:08The last few months have proven that.
18:10I thought we'd be alright, but it's gone.
18:14And we both know that.
18:16He's a murderer!
18:17You can't seriously be picking him over me!
18:19I'm sorry.
18:24You made the right decision.
18:35Sorry, brother.
18:37You lose.
18:43That's the thing, Johnny boy.
18:44I've not even started playing yet.
18:47Robert!
18:51What are you doing?
18:57Oh.
18:58Okay, I'm coming.
18:59Hang on.
19:00Oh, you can let yourself in.
19:04No problem.
19:05Is, er...
19:06Is Charity home?
19:07Nope.
19:08Okay, erm, I have this vague recollection of saying something really inappropriate last night
19:13and I am so sorry if I've caused any problems.
19:16Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, Vanessa.
19:18Your behaviour is...
19:20weird.
19:22I think you need help.
19:24What do you mean?
19:26Well, Charity told me about the kiss.
19:28She did?
19:29Yeah.
19:30And ever since she turned you down, you've been all over her.
19:33It's like you're obsessed with her or something.
19:35Hang on.
19:36What?
19:37And now you're trying to use the baby to try and split us up.
19:41Right, okay.
19:42Well, erm, first of all, Charity tried to kiss me.
19:46Let's get that straight.
19:48Okay.
19:49Do you really expect me to believe that?
19:51Oh, Mackenzie.
19:52Mack, she really has done a number on you.
19:56Okay, remember...
19:58Remember Christmas Eve when Charity apparently went to that brewery meeting?
20:03Yeah.
20:04Yeah, well, there was no meeting.
20:07She went to a clinic to get the baby tested for any abnormalities.
20:12Well, that doesn't make any sense
20:14because Sarah and Jacob's embryo was screened and it was fine.
20:17Yeah, exactly.
20:18So, if the baby is theirs, why would she need to do those tests?
20:24Because she thinks it might be hers.
20:26Bingo!
20:29No, you're lying.
20:30Oh, just wake up, Mackenzie!
20:33If it's not Sarah and Jacob's baby, then it's got to be yours.
20:43You see, this is what he always does.
20:45I don't want to hurt people.
20:47John, stop!
20:48I don't want blood on my hands.
20:50John, please just stop!
20:51Believe me, no choice!
20:53John, just stop!
20:54Please!
20:55Please, you don't have to do this.
20:59He will never let you go.
21:04Please.
21:05John, please.
21:06Please.
21:07If you really love me.
21:12Then you'll let him live.
21:13I do love you, Aaron.
21:16More than you will ever know.
21:19But I have to put my foot down on this one.
21:23Please don't do anything stupid.
21:26Where's the fun in that?
21:28One thing you should know about me, brother.
21:31When I shoot,
21:33I never miss.
21:34I never miss.
21:35I never miss.
21:43I'm sorry, no one.
21:45I need to do it.
21:46I see it.
21:47I'm sorry.
21:49Bye.
21:51See you.
21:52Bye.
21:54Bye.
21:55Bye.
21:56Bye.
22:01Bye.
22:02Bye.
22:03Bye.
22:04Bye.
22:05You
