00:00Joel is giving you a false alibi thanks to Mercedes. He's putting his life on the line for you.
00:06You didn't even sleep with him.
00:08Then why would James say you did?
00:10James...
00:14I just told you.
00:15Don't I tell the love of my life I have a brain tumour?
00:17No, Steve, don't!
00:19You can't sign those papers.
00:21I like you.
00:22Oh, darn.
00:24Ambulance. You might have done an overdose.
00:27Joel, wake up! Joel!
01:00You
01:30You
01:32I
01:34I
01:36I
01:38I
01:40I
01:42I
01:44I
01:46I
01:48I
01:50I
01:52I
01:54I
01:56again. And to overdose. I mean losing Noah did hit him hard, didn't it?
02:00Well yeah, cos it was a walk in the park for me.
02:02Oh no, I didn't mean that.
02:03Yeah, I know. I've got Pez and Daniel to think about. Don't have the luxury of being so reckless.
02:09The doctor said he's gonna be fine, right? They've monitored him overnight.
02:12He hasn't woken up.
02:14He will. You can feel it. Come on.
02:26I'm sorry.
02:32I'm not leaving until you explain.
02:34Fine. Stay. Don't eat the cornichon.
02:38No, why would you tell me that you slept with Jez and you hadn't?
02:42And I've also been told that you've updated your will and included Leah and Lucas in it.
02:47Well, with your track record, those kids are gonna need all the help they can get.
02:50No, something is going on. I know it is.
02:55Do you still love me?
02:58You do, don't you?
03:04I need to go to work.
03:11So if Joe's his alibi, what about the gun?
03:14If Warren's innocent, why was it in his house?
03:18Oh, do we really need one more pic of Jude in a swimming pool?
03:23OK, I'm off to work.
03:25Is that a love bite? What, are we back in the 90s?
03:28Well, I mean, you do still dress like you're a teenager.
03:30Rude.
03:32You know what, he won't be happy when Warren gets out and he can't impress the ladies being the big boss at the loft anymore.
03:38He's not even got a release date yet.
03:40Can you imagine being accused of killing your own mum when you didn't do it?
03:45I mean, that is really brutal.
03:48Now, if Warren finds out who set him up, he's gonna destroy them.
03:52Listen, forget about all that.
03:55We should be helping Mercedes celebrate.
03:58You've changed your tune.
03:59Well, I think we should rally the troops, show her that we're behind her.
04:06The doctor says you're fine to come home.
04:08No, I'm seeing him.
04:10I thought that was the last place you'd want to be.
04:13Or is it just me you're trying to escape?
04:17Joel, did you do the drugs because we had a fight?
04:20No.
04:23No, I...
04:25I took them because I couldn't stand the way I felt anymore.
04:30I thought after Noah's funeral, I'd have some sort of acceptance about it, or peace.
04:37But it was worse.
04:40Sweetheart.
04:42Just wanted the thoughts to stop.
04:45Every time they did this, come straight back again.
04:47This is the only thing that would help.
04:49What?
04:51This wasn't a one-off?
04:52Leila, now's not the time.
04:53No, no, no. Have you been doing drugs since Noah's funeral?
04:57Yeah.
05:01Joel, did you do them in the house?
05:04Joel!
05:05Daniel was never there.
05:06Oh.
05:08Leila, where are you going?
05:10You can stay, but I'm done.
05:20Is she clear on the plan?
05:21Crystal.
05:24We go straight for the jugular, show Warren the prison's not the worst option.
05:28And he realises that'll make it easier for everyone.
05:30Especially Mercedes.
05:32Yeah. Speaking of which, I better get to the lot, but help us celebrate Warren's release.
05:38Whatever you say, boss.
05:40Just, um...
05:42Don't let me down.
05:44Wait for the signal, and then...
05:45Yeah, poor car almost feels sorry for her.
06:00You told him we hadn't slept together?
06:02Actually, I didn't tell Steve. I told Sienna.
06:04You ever try keeping anything from her?
06:07Anyway, what does it matter?
06:08I thought you and him were supposed to be done.
06:11We are.
06:13Hmm.
06:14Yeah, well, I never thought you two were a natural match.
06:17He's a little...
06:18Rough?
06:19Mm-hmm.
06:20You might be a little...
06:22Uptight?
06:23Yeah, exactly.
06:25Steve just doesn't care what people think of him. That's what I love about him.
06:29Loved.
06:30Loved.
06:32He just thinks he can make a joke about everything, and sometimes he can't.
06:35No.
06:38Did you have the MRI?
06:40Have they confirmed it's a tumour?
06:43I'm just waiting for an appointment.
06:45I know what's going on in my own body, though.
06:47So tell Steve.
06:49I can't.
06:51Have you ever lost someone?
06:54Have you ever been powerless to help?
06:58I have.
06:59My sister.
07:02There's only one person I've ever truly loved.
07:05And if I could have one more moment with them, no matter how painful, I would take it.
07:11And I think Steve would, too.

07:59.
08:30Why didn't you talk to me, Joel?
08:32And say what?
08:35Lila, you've been through the same, but worse.
08:38They won't put you through anymore.
08:40But you have.
08:42I mean, how...
08:43How did I not know that you were back on the drugs?
08:48I mean, why didn't even you tell me?
08:50I didn't know.
08:52I didn't know.
08:54I didn't know.
08:56I didn't know.
08:58I mean, why didn't you even show up in your medical for work?
09:02Mercedes, she...
09:04She helped me fit the urine test.
09:08Mercedes?
09:10Of course she did.
09:13You know that's not going to work, don't you?
09:25That could have been us.
09:28Proper little family.
09:29Still is.
09:31Still we're not, are we?
09:34You didn't even speak to me.
09:36Before you went and gave your dad an alibi.
09:39I couldn't.
09:41I thought I had no choice.
09:44It was Mercedes, but she...
09:47She threatened to tell you about the drugs.
09:49And she was only doing it because she had to help my dad somehow.
09:53Right.
09:54So she was threatening you.
09:56Yeah, that's it.
09:57Where are you going?
09:58To kill her.
10:06What are you doing?
10:08I knocked your bag over.
10:10Oh, my.
10:12I didn't realise love bites were still a thing.
10:15So, take out any of the artist.
10:17None of your business.
10:19You just used my £40 concealer to cover it.
10:21It's my business.
10:23So, you and Vicky finally got it on.
10:26I knew locking you in that office would work.
10:28Yeah, but it shouldn't have happened.
10:29Right? I'm her boss.
10:31Well, not anymore.
10:33Oh, come on. Just admit that you like her.
10:35I mean, she's...
10:36She's smart.
10:37She's gorgeous.
10:38She's hilarious.
10:39She doesn't play mind games like you or Sienna.
10:44Besides,
10:45it was a one-off.
10:47So, what?
10:48You're just going to sleep with her and then ghost her?
10:52No.
10:54Maybe.
10:56Look, she doesn't want anything serious anyway.
10:58Did you ask her?
10:59No, I didn't.
11:00It's not like she's short of admirers.
11:02And yet, for some unknown reason to the rest of mankind,
11:05she shows you.
11:06So, stop being a big wet fish and guessing what she wants
11:09and phone her.
11:14I tell you what,
11:15I love my girls to bits,
11:16but this is bliss.
11:20Miss Pitt is seriously a bad photographer.
11:22Gives it here, can make anyone look good.
11:25Oi.
11:26What was that for?
11:27You manipulative little bitch.
11:29Joel is in hell because of you.
11:30Come on, break it up.
11:31Why don't you just talk about it or something?
11:33I didn't give him drugs.
11:34Yeah, but you knew he had them, didn't you?
11:37And you blackmailed him.
11:38You needed help.
11:39Yeah, and so did Warren.
11:41And I put my family first.
11:43And what about my family?
11:45Eh?
11:47You know, I have already lost a son.
11:51And now I'm going to lose Joel too.
11:54Yeah.
12:24I'm sorry.

13:53I'm so sorry.
13:54I'm sorry.
13:55I'm sorry.
13:59Batteries!
14:01I'd say you and Dylan had a nice time, then.
14:04No, it was alright.
14:05Well I know you didn't get that glow from the sun.
14:07Ew, gross.
14:10You think I'm gross?
14:11You wouldn't want your present anymore, you reckon?
14:13You can't be something.
14:17Thought I might shut you up.
14:19Survived the bright light of Blackpool, then.
14:22Yeah.
14:23Although I'm not sure it survived him.
14:27Er, it's the other thing. You're busy.
14:28But I was just wondering if, er...
14:33S-Sorry.
14:35Yes, this is James Nightingale.
14:38An MRI scan.
14:43This afternoon.
14:50Nice slap.
14:52Plenty more where that came from.
14:53Hey, I'm not starting anything. I've had a champagne.
14:56It wouldn't be a fair fight.
14:57Do you want some of it?
15:00I'm sorry about John.
15:04But you're not sorry for what you did.
15:08You know, no matter how low you stoop,
15:10things always seem to work out for you, don't they?
15:13Yeah.
15:14I mean, I'm not sure I've ever been so low.
15:16Things always seem to work out for you, don't they?
15:19Yeah.
15:20Yeah, cos I make sure that they do.
15:22While screwing everyone else over.
15:24I do what I've got to for my family, and I won't apologise for that.
15:28And I thought you, of all people, would understand.
15:31I don't understand anything you do.
15:33Clearly not.
15:34Cos you won't be giving up on yours so easily.
15:36Don't you dare.
15:39Look, what y'all did was stupid.
15:42But, yeah, it could have been a lot worse.
15:44Leela, he's still alive.
15:47He's lied to me for weeks.
15:51I'm his wife and he'd still rather talk to you.
15:56Don't blame him, though.
16:00All this time, he's been struggling and I don't even have a clue.
16:05I mean, what does that say about our marriage?
16:08That you're both grieving.
16:12Look, I...
16:13I know what it's like to lose a baby.
16:16That feeling of injustice,
16:19like everyone gets to go home with their baby but you don't.
16:22Just stop.
16:23But you cannot just roll over.
16:25That's not what I'm doing.
16:26That is what it looks like.
16:30Come on.
16:31If you really love Joel...
16:36..fight for him, yeah?
16:37Fight for him, yeah?
16:50Beach.
16:53Oh, Marie?
16:55How's your Joel?
16:56He's all right.
16:58He's all right. It was just a little mix-up with the insulin, that's all.
17:02Oh, was it?
17:04What's the visiting times?
17:07Er...
17:08Do you know what? I wouldn't bother.
17:10He'll be home soon, won't he?
17:11No-one likes hospitals anyway, do they?
17:14Coffee's grim.
17:18It's not the coffee that's gross, it's the smell.
17:20The smell's rank.
17:21Well, let's hope none of us end up back in one.
17:23Cheers.
17:24Erm, what did you want to say to me?
17:27Just, erm, hurry up and sign the divorce papers, will you?
17:32Unlike you, I'd like to move on.
17:38Gala, the Wanderer, returns.
17:41Oh, yeah?
17:44Mum, do you mind just giving us a minute, please?
17:49Talk some sense into him, will you?
17:52A bit of bed rest is what he needs.
17:59Is Mercedes still alive?
18:01There could be a nuclear war and the McQueens will still survive.
18:04You really shouldn't be discharging yourself.
18:07Yeah, but there's no point in wasting a bit of his time.
18:09I mean, the drugs are almost out of my system.
18:12I've had my mental health assessment.
18:14Although...
18:16I don't really know if I've got a home to go back to.
18:19It's not where you left.
18:21Oh, God, have you right?
18:23Look, I shouldn't have given my dad that alibi.
18:26Right? But I wouldn't have done it
18:27unless I truly believed he was innocent.
18:29Yeah, you didn't want to lose him.
18:31I'm scared of losing you, too.
18:35Listen, I might have to go into it.
18:37Joel, you really need to go into a drug programme
18:40and get cleaned properly.
18:42Anything.
18:43All of you.
18:47I don't know what I'd do without you.
18:49I'm sorry.
18:51Joel Dexter.
18:53Yeah?
18:54We've been looking into your recent statement.
18:58I'm sorry.
18:59Your recent statement?
19:01You claim that you were with your father
19:03during the two-hour window he wasn't accounted for?
19:06No, that's right.
19:07Except CCTV from Pricelight shows you were there, alone,
19:12for at least 20 minutes.
19:14Enough time for your father to kill Norma.
19:18I'm placing you under arrest for perverting the course of justice.
19:21You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
19:23if you do not mention one question,
19:25something which you later rely on in court.
19:27Joel.
19:30I'll be fine.
19:44Afternoon.
19:46Oh.
19:47Hi.
19:49You all right?
19:50Yeah.
19:51Thanks for the text.
19:52Sorry that I had to drag you to the park.
19:54It's just that my dad's volunteered me to watch Mercedes Twins.
19:57Oh, yeah, well, you know, happy to help.
19:59Happy to oblige.
20:00Oh, my gosh, are you OK?
20:01Yeah. You all right?
20:03Yep. Yeah? Excellent.
20:04Listen, about...
20:06No, you go first. Sorry.
20:08Um...
20:09No pressure or anything.
20:12Do you want a...
20:13Do you want a cup of coffee or something?
20:16Are you asking me on a date?
20:19Yeah, I am.
20:20If you'd rather not, then...
20:23OK.
20:24Yeah, I'll go on a date with you.
20:26Great. OK, I'll, um...
20:28I'll send you a text.
20:30Yeah, I expect a message, so...
20:32Yes, I'll message you.
20:34So...
20:35OK.
20:37Bye.
20:42Did you hear that, girls?
20:43I just got myself a...
20:46Girls?
20:49Girls?
20:51Girls?
20:58GIRLS GIGGLE
21:08So, when have you got a pen?
21:14Are you sure you want to do this?
21:16Yeah, it didn't look like you wanted to do this earlier.
21:22If James wants to die a lonely old man,
21:25then let him.
21:26Really?
21:28Yeah.
21:38Should we get another bottle?
21:39I think you've had enough.
21:41There you go.
21:42Oh, yeah, it's going on a job.
21:44That's it. Oh.
21:45All right, love.
21:46Dad, I need you to help me, OK?
21:48Please calm down.
21:49OK, someone just took the babies, OK?
21:51I would literally turn around for, like, one second
21:53and they were just... they were just gone.
21:55What do you mean, gone?
21:57It's just...
22:00My babies.
22:01Oh, my God, they've been kidnapped.
22:16Are you sure this is the best way?
22:19Oil's going to find out that freedom's not what it's cracked up to be.
22:23It's just hope for the twins' sake.
22:25Mercedes plays along.
22:55MUSIC FADES
23:03Fancy reviewing my new cocktail?
23:05Put it on the specials board for tonight.
23:07Oh, I thought for you taking the initiative.
23:10Mm. Gorgeous.
23:12Oh.
23:15It's actually not bad.
23:16I know.
23:17I've called it...
23:19the love bite.
23:21SHE LAUGHS
23:22Ha-ha. Ha.
23:25MUSIC FADES
