00:00John Sugden, that's all I ever wanted to do, you know, help people, I've got something to help, save people.
00:08No!
00:12I reckon we're ready to say our vows now.
00:18Robert, we can be that again Aaron, just me and you, us.
00:22If you can't be mine, I'm sorry, you can't be anyone's.
00:25Aaron!
00:30It doesn't matter to me anymore, I don't want to be with anyone else. Sorry, brother.
00:34You lose. I've not even started playing yet.
00:38Please don't do anything stupid. Where's the fun in that?
00:42I thought you might appreciate some work. Milford Bridge, ten o'clock.
00:45I'll do it.
00:46Give me the bag.
00:47Take it. Take it.
00:49I can't do it anymore, I am sick of being the bad person.
00:53You lost for a thousand of pounds and this is how you repay him?
00:57I just want to help you, whatever it is, you can trust me with it.
01:00I've been dealing drugs.
01:02I can't stop, they won't let me stop.
01:08My sincerest condolences, April.
01:12I just want my little girl back!
01:14Your little girl is gone!
01:16You're a monster.
01:17But Laura, I did it. She can't hurt us anymore.
01:19We can be together. Me, you and the kids.
01:21Well, no, I don't want you anywhere near my kids.
01:23Whatever we had is over!
01:25You still haven't told them that you've agreed to be my surrogate?
01:27Well, I thought we'd wait at least until we got the test results.
01:30Congratulations, you're pregnant.
01:32It's not Sarah's baby, it's mine and Ross's.
01:34She went to a clinic to get the baby tested for any abnormalities.
01:38If the baby is theirs, why would she need to do those tests?
02:08She was pregnant.
02:10She was pregnant.
03:38Robert.
03:42Any last words?
03:43Robert, I'm going to kill you.
03:45It's not the best you've got.
03:47Even now.
03:49Is that why you play the hero?
03:51Because you're so epically unimpressive
03:53that it's the only way that you can get attention.
03:57Hey!
03:58Whoa!
03:58Back off.
03:59Go and do it.
04:00Shoot me.
04:01Anything!
04:02So we don't have to listen to you gloat.
04:04Don't kill him, Robert.
04:05I mean it.
04:07But him and me.
04:11Good boy, John.
04:16What was that?
04:17Someone had to show him what, didn't they?
04:19I feel like my head's about to explode.
04:32You believe me, don't you?
04:33I want to go over it one more time,
04:35just so I'm crystal clear on everything.
04:37Yeah, sure.
04:38Charity, my darling wife,
04:40isn't sure whether she's the surrogate for Sarah and Jacob's baby
04:42or whether she's carrying her own.
04:44Is that right?
04:44Correct.
04:45And she's known about it for months
04:46and yet chosen to lie through her teeth about it.
04:48That's all sounding right to you?
04:50I'm afraid so.
04:51Okay.
04:53Okay.
04:58So, you know, part of me feels like I should be happy about this
05:02because, you know, I've wanted it for so long
05:04and, you know, I might be a dad again,
05:07but the other part...
05:11Why?
05:13How could she do this?
05:15Because she's selfish and she's cruel
05:18and take it from someone who's been burned by charity in the past.
05:22She will break your heart in ways you never thought possible.
05:25She can't get away with this.
05:26Oh, believe me.
05:29She won't.
05:30I hear congratulations are in order.
05:34Ah, yes.
05:35It was a lovely day.
05:38Yeah, I'm sure Sarah and Jacob will make each other very, very happy.
05:44These are perfect.
05:46You know, I've always thought white rosers
05:49are much classier than the bog standard red.
05:52Ooh.
05:57I've been...
05:58Damn cobbles.
06:01Hi, this is Vanessa.
06:02Can't answer the phone right now.
06:03I'm probably out having too much fun.
06:05Leave a message.
06:07Listen to me, you poisonous little snake.
06:10You've gone too far this time.
06:11You stay away from Mac.
06:13Do you hear me?
06:13Hi.
06:18Hi.
06:19You all right?
06:20Yeah, I'm good.
06:22Hop in.
06:22No, I can't, babe.
06:23I'm working.
06:24You're the boss.
06:25Play hooky.
06:26Come on, I've got a little apology surprise
06:28for letting Vanessa get to me earlier.
06:30Yeah, but Sarah and Jacob are back to go on the honeymoon.
06:32We'll be back in time to say goodbye.
06:34Come on, get in.
06:35I'm not going to take no for an answer.
06:36We can't leave him like this.
06:55Why do you care?
06:58He might come after us.
07:01He's out cold.
07:02Get his car keys as well, just in case.
07:16Promise me
07:16that you want this,
07:19that this is
07:19really real.
07:21Is that real enough for you?
07:39Yeah.
07:41Come on, let's go.
07:43It's me.
07:55Um,
07:56I've not heard back
07:57and I'm trying not to freak out,
07:59but
07:59have you done it?
08:02Um, just
08:03call me back as soon as you can, yeah?
08:10Marlon?
08:11Marlon?
08:13Are you okay?
08:15You ought to have seen a ghost.
08:16Why?
08:16I was just worried about April.
08:18Where have you been?
08:20Um,
08:20the farm was deserted,
08:21so I thought I'd ask around
08:22if anyone's seen her.
08:24Any news?
08:30You all right?
08:33I will be.
08:35It's probably for the best
08:36that we don't
08:37mention this to anyone.
08:41I remember what I said.
08:43I've got you back.
08:44Always.
08:46Dad!
09:05Dad!
09:06April!
09:07Oh, my God.
09:09Oh, my God!
09:10You're alive!
09:11Don't be so worried.
09:12Are you okay?
09:13Yeah, I'm fine.
09:14Well, we're going to think
09:15we'll never see you again.
09:16Where have you been?
09:17It's all...
09:18It's all I'm sorry.
09:19Oh, you're...
09:20You're safe in our appointments.
09:21Come on.
09:21Come on.
09:22Come on.
09:22Come on.
09:23Can I ask you something?
09:47Yeah, sure.
09:48When you went out this morning,
09:50where did you go?
09:52See Victoria and Harry.
09:56Are they all right?
09:59They were when I left them.
10:02So they're still coming with us, then?
10:04Yeah.
10:06Yeah, of course.
10:06Vic's well up for it.
10:08We'll, um...
10:09We'll swing past
10:10and pick them up on the way.
10:12It's as long as we're together.
10:13It's all that matters to me.
10:14Come here.
10:28For coming back for me.
10:31And giving me a second chance.
10:34I'd have hated it if you left.
10:35I'd never got a chance to tell you
10:36how I really feel.
10:39How's that?
10:39You are the most pathetic man
10:45I've ever met.
10:45Aaron.
10:46After everything you've done
10:47to me, to my family,
10:49do you really think I'd go anywhere,
10:51will you?
10:51Everything I've done.
10:54You need to take
10:55a hard look in the mirror.
10:58You're nobody.
11:00You're deluded.
11:01Do you really think
11:01I'd choose you over Robert?
11:04He's everything to me.
11:05He's the love of my life.
11:07No.
11:07And he's ten times
11:08the man you'll ever be.
11:16This ends now!
11:17What, are you going to kill me?
11:19Your own husband?
11:19What, and rob everyone
11:20at the chance of seeing you
11:21get sent down
11:21for the rest of your life?
11:25I'm going to give you
11:25the satisfaction.
11:26Drives Haughton Police Station.
11:47Nobody else is dying because of you.
11:48but if you try anything stupid
11:52I'll blow your head off.
11:54You're going to kill everything.
11:57I'm going to kill you.
11:58You're not going to kill me.
12:01I'm going to kill you.
12:03You're not going to kill me.
12:08You're little DOWN.
12:18Oh.
12:18Oh God.
12:19Babe, what are we doing here?
12:36Come on, we're going to miss Sarah and Jacob.
12:40Oh, brilliant.
12:41No phone signal.
12:45Yeah.
12:47I wanted to be somewhere where we could have a conversation.
12:49Without any interruptions.
12:51Oh, what, and it couldn't wait?
12:54No.
12:56No, it couldn't.
12:58This is important.
13:04I'm finding this whole Vanessa situation really unnerving.
13:07I thought you were over that.
13:09Interesting thing.
13:11I had a conversation with her earlier and she told me the exact opposite of what you're telling me.
13:16Well, what a surprise.
13:17I've probably been drinking again.
13:19You know, she seemed pretty clear-headed when she told me about the meeting that you were meant to have on Christmas Eve at the brewery.
13:26It didn't happen.
13:28Instead, you went to some clinic to get tests for the baby.
13:31So I'm going to ask you this once, Charity.
13:34And I really want you to dig deep here and be honest with me.
13:38Is this my baby?
13:39Is this my baby?
13:42There's a teeny niggling doubt in the back of my mind.
13:45I am 99% certain that it's Sarah's, but I don't know for sure.
13:51This could be our baby.
13:52This could be our baby.
13:53You've known how long I've wanted a baby with you.
13:55Exactly.
13:56So I didn't want to get your hopes up for nothing.
13:58Nothing.
13:59This is not nothing, Charity.
14:01You've known about this, this whole time, and you've done nothing about it.
14:07I didn't know what to do.
14:09Yes, you did.
14:11You covered it up.
14:13You'd have given Sarah our baby, and you'd have let Sarah raise a child that might not even be our own.
14:18It's probably hers.
14:19Probably.
14:22Can you not hear yourself?
14:24I think we're going to need a little bit more to go on than that.
14:27Mac, wait, what are you doing?
14:29Calling Sarah.
14:30No, no, seriously, don't you dare!
14:32Don't you dare!
14:35She deserves to know the truth.
14:36Babe, they'll be on the way to the airport, please.
14:39Are you trying to ruin everything?
14:41There's no signal.
14:42Listen, we don't need to involve them just yet, okay?
14:44We'll get a paternity test while they're away, and that'll prove once and for all that the baby's not yours.
14:49You said they're flying from Manchester, right?
14:51Yeah, so?
14:52Yeah, so we'll catch them at the check-in days.
14:57Mac.
15:05No, she's not in the pub either.
15:06She said she'd see us off.
15:08Come on, you know what your gran's like.
15:09She's got to head off the backside at the best of times.
15:12Thank you so much for our honeymoon.
15:13You weren't expecting anything like this.
15:15Well, Eric won you a few quid and all.
15:17I did indeed.
15:19Hey, a week in New Yorker, what a way to start a new year!
15:22Yeah, make the most of that freedom, because once the baby comes...
15:25In other words, rinse that all-inclusive while you can.
15:29Yeah, I'm sure we'll manage that.
15:30Right, we really need to get going.
15:33Calm down, the flight's not for a few hours.
15:35Yeah, well, my new husband gets travel anxiety, so...
15:37Hey, I'll start being fun once we get there.
15:41We should be thinking of you.
15:43Safe journey.
15:44What happened, love?
15:57Celia told Ray to kill me and make it look like I'd run away again.
16:04What?
16:06So he drove me into the middle of nowhere.
16:08And I thought that that was it, that he was going to kill me in the woods, nowhere near anyone, miles away.
16:16Oh, April.
16:17But he couldn't do it.
16:21Did he hurt you?
16:24No.
16:25But he said that if Celia found out that I was still alive, then she'd find me and she would kill us all.
16:32So he gave me this.
16:35And he told me to run.
16:42He told me to run away and never come back.
16:46Do you think they're going to come looking for you?
16:49I don't know, maybe.
16:51But...
16:52I am so sick of being scared.
16:57I can't do this anymore.
17:05Help!
17:07Someone, please!
17:09Robert?
17:10Okay, you look awful.
17:12Joe, I need you to help me.
17:13You drunk?
17:15No, I think I got a concussion.
17:17I can't see straight.
17:18Why, what happened?
17:20John's back.
17:22He's tried to kill me.
17:23He's got a gun.
17:23He's got Aaron.
17:24Okay, maybe you should contact the police.
17:26Yeah, we'll do it on the way.
17:28I drive myself, but I can't see properly.
17:31No, no, no.
17:31I'm not really sure I want to be involved.
17:33We've got to help Aaron.
17:34Robert, I could be really putting myself in danger here.
17:36Please, I'm begging you.
17:37I'll do anything you want.
17:38Just, please, just drive me.
17:40Did you do all this for attention?
17:54Or did you enjoy it?
17:56Playing Russian roulette with people's lives?
17:58You have no idea.
18:02But now, you can do something good.
18:06You can tell the police everything.
18:09People deserve justice.
18:10Well, if that's the case,
18:12I should start talking about Anthony.
18:16Yeah?
18:18And who's going to believe a nutjob like you?
18:21You've got no evidence.
18:23You've got nothing.
18:24That's where you're wrong.
18:26I don't have nothing.
18:31I still have you.
18:36Think, it's me.
18:38John's back.
18:38Take Harry.
18:39Go somewhere safe.
18:40And call me when you get this.
18:42Whereabouts in West Kirby is this boat?
18:44I don't know.
18:45Just keep on going in that direction.
18:46We'll figure it out.
18:47You better not be messing me about.
18:50A deal's a deal.
18:51You'll get what you want.
18:52Just keep driving.
18:53Look, what do you think you're going to achieve kicking off at the airport anyway?
19:00One, Charity, is for everyone to be on the same page, which is what should have happened in the first place.
19:04Okay, fine.
19:05Well, at least let them get back from the Yorker first.
19:07And then we'll do it.
19:08We'll get a paternity test or whatever.
19:10Dara and Jacob have invested everything into this and it's all based on your life.
19:15Okay, look, I'll ring Sarah now and I'll explain the situation.
19:18No, no, no, no.
19:19You're not spinning it like that.
19:20I know exactly what you're like.
19:21So what happens now?
19:39What do you mean?
19:40Well, we could go away for a week or two, lie low until we know Ray and Celia are gone,
19:44or we can stay here.
19:45It's up to you.
19:46There's no pressure.
19:47The main thing is you're safe.
19:49I'm so sorry.
19:51What on earth have you got to be sorry for?
19:56I did this.
19:58I brought them into our lives.
20:01This isn't your fault.
20:03None of it.
20:06I killed a man.
20:08He was in self-defence.
20:10Every night I lie in bed and all I can think about is how I ended that man's life.
20:17Do you know how hard that is to deal with?
20:21Joe, why did you mean slow down?
20:49After everything we've been through, maybe we're meant to be here right now and traveling
20:54down this road together.
20:54Yeah, so you can hand yourself into the police.
20:56Prison is not an option for me.
20:58I'm calling the shots now, not you.
21:00Then I'll leave it up to you to decide what happens next, whether we live or die.
21:03I'm going to show you what it feels like to hold life in your hands, to tease it to the brink.
21:10One second is all it takes before it's too late.
21:12Listen to me.
21:13Whatever you all think.
21:13You asked me if it felt good, if I enjoyed playing with people's lives.
21:17But you're going to find out for yourself.
21:21Joe, just look at the road.
21:22This is your chance to be the hero.
21:24Don't look at the road!
21:28What are you doing?
21:29Put your hands back on me, you're like...
21:30You're going to do this!
21:31Then you're going to have to kill me!
21:32Just slow down!
21:33Go on, do it!
21:34What do you think I will?
21:35I've done everything you've done!
21:37I love you.
21:38I love you.
21:40I'm off.
21:41I love you.
