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
01:32You
01:34You
01:36You
01:38You
01:40You
01:42You
01:44You
01:46You
01:48You
01:50You
01:52You
01:54You
01:56...again. And to overdose?
01:58I 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.
02:04I've got Pez and Daniel to think about.
02:06Don't have the luxury of being so reckless.
02:09The doctor said he's gonna be fine, right?
02:11They've monitored him overnight.
02:13He hasn't woken up.
02:14He will.
02:15I can feel it.
02:18Come on.
02:26I'm sorry.
02:28I'm sorry.
02:33I'm not leaving until you explain.
02:35Fine.
02:36Stay.
02:37Don't eat the cornichon.
02:39Now, 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
02:44and included Leah and Lucas in it.
02:47Well, with your track record,
02:48those kids are gonna need all the help they can get.
02:50No, something is going on.
02:52I know it is.
02:55Do you still love me?
02:58You do, don't you?
03:04I need to get to work.
03:11So, if Joe's his alibi,
03:13what about the gun?
03:15If Warren's innocent, why was it in his house?
03:19Oh, do we really need one more pic of Jude in a swimming pool?
03:24OK, I'm off to work.
03:26Is that a love bite?
03:27What, are we back in the 90s?
03:29Well, I mean, you do still dress like you're a teenager.
03:31Rude.
03:33You know what, he won't be happy when Warren gets out
03:35and he can't impress the ladies being the big boss at the loft anymore.
03:39He's not even got a release date yet.
03:41Can you imagine being accused of killing your own mum when you didn't do it?
03:46I mean, that is really brutal.
03:49Now, if Warren finds out who set him up,
03:51he's gonna destroy them.
03:53Listen, forget about all that.
03:56We should be helping Mercedes celebrate.
03:59You've changed your tune.
04:00Well, I think we should rally the troops, show her that we're behind her.
04:07The doctor says you're fine to come home.
04:09No, I'm seeing him.
04:11I thought that was the last place you'd want to be.
04:14Or is it just me you're trying to escape?
04:18Joe, did you do the drugs because we had a fight?
04:20No.
04:22You know, I, erm...
04:24I took them because I couldn't stand the way I felt anymore.
04:30I thought after Noah's funeral,
04:32I'd have some sort of acceptance about it, or peace.
04:37But it was worse.
04:39Sweetheart.
04:41I just wanted the thoughts to stop.
04:44Every time they did, they'd just come straight back again.
04:46This is the only thing that would help.
04:48What?
04:51This wasn't a one-off.
04:53Lela, now's not the time.
04:54No, no, no. Have you been doing drugs since Noah's funeral?
04:57Yeah.
05:01Joe, did you do them in the house?
05:03Joel!
05:05Daniel was never there.
05:07Oh.
05:09Lela, where are you going?
05:10You can stay, but I am done.
05:21Is she clear on the plan?
05:22Crystal.
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.
05:31Especially Mercedes.
05:33Yeah. Speaking of which, I've got to get to the lot,
05:35but help her celebrate Warren's release.
05:39Whatever you say, boss.
05:41Just, erm...
05:43Don't let me down.
05:45Wait for the signal, and then...
05:46Yeah, poor car. I almost feel sorry for her.
05:50I'll be back.
06:02You told him we hadn't slept together?
06:04Actually, I didn't tell Steve. I told Sienna.
06:07He never tried keeping anything from her.
06:09Anyway, what does it matter?
06:11I thought you and him were supposed to be done.
06:13We are.
06:15Yeah, well, I never thought you two were a natural match.
06:19Rough?
06:20Mm-hm. You might be a little...
06:23Uptight?
06:24Yeah, exactly.
06:26Steve just doesn't care what people think of him.
06:28That's what I love about him.
06:30Loved.
06:32He just thinks he can make a joke about everything,
06:34and sometimes he can't.
06:36No.
06:39Did you have the MRI?
06:41Have 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.
06:48So tell Steve.
06:50I can't.
06:52Have you ever lost someone?
06:55Have you ever been powerless to help?
06:59I have.
07:00My sister.
07:02There's only one person I've ever truly loved.
07:06And if I could have one more moment with them,
07:08no matter how painful, I would take it.
07:11And I think Steve would, too.
07:18I'm sorry.
07:20I'm sorry.
07:22I'm sorry.
07:24I'm sorry.
07:26I'm sorry.
07:28I'm sorry.
07:30I'm sorry.
07:32I'm sorry.
07:34I'm sorry.
07:36I'm sorry.
07:38I'm sorry.
07:40I'm sorry.
07:42I'm sorry.
07:44I'm sorry.
07:47I'm sorry.
07:49I'm sorry.
07:51I'm sorry.
07:53I'm sorry.
07:55I'm sorry.
07:57I'm sorry.
07:59I'm sorry.
08:01I'm sorry.
08:03I'm sorry.
08:05I'm sorry.
08:07I'm sorry.
08:09I'm sorry.
08:11I'm sorry.
08:13I'm sorry.
08:15I'm sorry.
08:17I'm sorry.
08:19I'm sorry.
08:21I'm sorry.
08:23I'm sorry.
08:25I'm sorry.
08:27I'm sorry.
08:29I'm sorry.
08:31I'm sorry.
08:33I'm sorry.
08:35I'm sorry.
08:37I'm sorry.
08:39I'm sorry.
08:41Why didn't you talk to me, Joel?
08:43what? Lila, you've been through the same but worse. They won't put you through anymore.
08:51But you have. I mean, how did I not know that you were back on the drugs? I mean, why didn't
08:59it even show up in your medical for work? Mercedes, she helped me fix the urine test.
09:08Mercedes? Of course she did. You know that's not going to work, don't you?
09:25That could have been us. Proper little family.
09:30It still is.
09:32We're not, are we? You didn't even speak to me before you went and gave your dad an alibi.
09:40I couldn't. I thought I had no choice. It was Mercedes. She threatened to tell you about
09:49the drugs. She was only doing it because she had to help my dad's son.
09:54Right. So she was threatening you. That's it.
09:57Where are you going?
09:58I'm going to kill her.
10:06What are you doing?
10:08I knocked your bag over.
10:10Oh, my. I didn't realise love bites were still a thing. So, take out any of the artist.
10:17None of your business.
10:19You just used my £40 concealer to cover it. It's my business. So, you and Vicky finally
10:24got it on.
10:26I knew locking you in the office would work.
10:28Yeah, but it shouldn't have happened, right? I'm her boss.
10:30Well, not anymore.
10:33Oh, come on. Just admit that you like her. I mean, she's smart. She's gorgeous. She's hilarious.
10:39She doesn't play mind games like you or Sienna.
10:44Besides, it was a one-off.
10:48So, what? You're just going to sleep with her and then ghost her?
10:52No. Maybe. Look, she doesn't want anything serious anyway.
10:58Did you ask her?
10:59No, I didn't. It's not like she's short of admirers.
11:02And yet, for some unknown reason to the rest of mankind, she shows you.
11:06So, stop being a big wet fish and guessing what she wants and phone her.
11:14Tell you what, I love my girls to bits, but this is bliss.
11:20Miss Pitt is seriously a bad photographer.
11:22Because of you, I can make anyone look good.
11:26What was that for?
11:27You manipulative little bitch. Joel isn't here because of you.
11:30Come on, break it up. Why 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. You needed help.
11:40Yeah, and so did Warren. And I put my family first.
11:44And what about my family?
11:46Hey, you know I have already lost a son.
11:51And now I'm going to lose Joel, too.
12:25I'm going to lose Joel, too.

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