00:00You didn't even speak to me before you went and gave your dad an alibi.
00:03It's Mercedes, Paige.
00:05You should threaten to tell him about the drugs.
00:08What was that for?
00:09You manipulative little...
00:10I'm placing you under arrest.
00:12You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
00:14You do not mention one question, something which you later rely on in court.
00:18Calm down.
00:19Okay, someone just took the babies, they were just gone.
00:22What do you mean, gone?
00:23My babies.
00:26It's just hope for the twins' sake.
00:27Mercedes plays along.
00:57Okay, sweethearts, I need you to calm down.
01:13Now, you saw absolutely nothing, nothing at all that can help.
01:17Yeah, I will.
01:18You sit tight, okay?
01:20What's happened?
01:22Where's Mercedes?
01:23Any luck?
01:23No.
01:24I've tried Cleo, Tracer, John Paul, Sally, nobody's seen her.
01:28They don't know where she is.
01:29How's Vicky?
01:30Well, someone tell me what's going on.
01:33Someone's taken Mercedes' twins.
01:35What?
01:35We need to call the police.
01:36The sooner we report this, the more chance we have of finding them.
01:39Yeah, she's right, I'll do it.
01:41No, I'm sure Mercedes has done that.
01:44I'll go find her, see if I can help.
01:45Well, you can't do this to him, he's not well.
01:55I can assure you Mr Dexter will be properly looked after during his stay in custody.
02:00Can I have a minute, please?
02:02Don't, no.
02:03Lila, I'll be fine.
02:05What, you've just overdosed?
02:07What, now they're gonna stick you in a prison cell?
02:08In what world is that okay?
02:10I promise I'll be home before you know it.
02:11No, this is wrong.
02:13Time to go.
02:14No, wait.
02:15Wait.
02:17Don't, what am I supposed to do without ya?
02:19Please, please.
02:21Don't leave me, please, don't.
02:31They were taken from the park.
02:34Um, about one narrow uphill drive.
02:37I'm serious.
02:38What the?
02:41What are you doing here?
02:45You're him, aren't you?
02:48You're...
02:49You're Bloom.
02:50No, I'm not.
02:51Did you use Vicky?
02:54Or was she in on it too?
02:56Of course not.
02:57Then where are my babies?
02:59What have you done with them?
03:00Mercedes, I am not Bloom.
03:02Okay, so what, you work for him then?
03:04Is that what this is?
03:05I wouldn't work for that lowlife scumbag.
03:07I detest him as much as you and Warren do.
03:09Then why did you call my call to the police?
03:12And what are you doing here, Donny?
03:15Because I'm the only person who knows what you're facing up to right now.
03:18No, I need you to listen to me properly.
03:21No.
03:21Please.
03:22What I need to do is call the police.
03:26Mercedes, I was the police.
03:33What?
03:34When it comes to Bloom, fear sign of any police involvement.
03:39And you can kiss goodbye to any chance of seeing your twins again.
03:43Hello?
03:45Huh?
03:47It's the police.
03:48They've called me back.
03:50Get rid of them.
03:51Say it's a mistake.
03:52The kids are fine.
03:53Mercedes, you need to trust me.
04:04I'm sorry.
04:06Yeah.
04:08Yeah, false alarm.
04:16Oh, what's happened?
04:22Did you see anything before in the park?
04:24No, what do you mean?
04:26Like anything dodgy, anyone hanging around watching the kids.
04:30Vicky, what's happened?
04:31Someone took Mercedes' twins.
04:33When you left, I just turned around and they were just, they were gone.
04:36Okay, hang on, speak to me here.
04:38What, has she called the police or?
04:39No, my dad has, but he's just told me to sit tight and I can't do that.
04:43She trusted me to look after them.
04:44Hey, Vicky, just breathe for me, yeah?
04:46Okay, in through your nose, out through your mouth.
04:49There you go, just like that.
04:52What if something bad happened to them?
04:54What if they don't come home?
04:56Ethan, how am I supposed to live with that?
04:57Everyone's gonna blame me and I just need to go and look for them.
05:00Hey, okay, listen to me, right?
05:02If you're in a state of shock, do you want something to eat, something to drink for?
05:04No, I need to be out there looking for them.
05:06Vicky, right, you're not in the frame of mind to go leading some kind of search party, yeah?
05:10Your dad said he's sorting it, yeah?
05:12Okay, we'll give him a chance.
05:14You just need to stay positive for me, yeah?
05:16They're gonna find those twins and they're gonna bring them home.
05:20When I found out Blue was active again, I couldn't keep away.
05:23I was best left in shock myself.
05:25I don't need a history lesson, Donny, I need my girls back.
05:28You'll get them back, you won't get away from me again.
05:30They are with a dangerous, dangerous man and we are wasting time.
05:35Sadie, just keep calm.
05:37Calm?
05:38Calm, calm, my girls are gonna be scared, wondering where the mummy is.
05:43Mercedes.
05:47I need them and they need me.
05:52I've already lost Gabriel, Bobby's gone and this, this was my last chance at getting it right.
05:58He'll get them back.
05:59It's not in his interest to hurt them.
06:02It's just something that he wants, something that he needs.
06:05So what?
06:07Do we just sit and wait?
06:09It won't be long before you find out what he wants with them, and you.
06:13When he does, I've got some mates in the force that'll track his number and get his location.
06:19You'll get your girls back.
06:21I'll put him down for good.
06:26He's blue.
06:27What's he want?
06:31Mercedes, what's his orders?
06:36Hi, what's happened here?
06:38I thought it was supposed to be a big old knees up, see more life at a funeral, who died?
06:43Oh God, who died?
06:44Nobody died.
06:47Mercedes had to head home, check on the twins.
06:49We thought it best to wrap it up with her gone.
06:52Hang on, so Mercedes gave up an afternoon of drinking, partying to go and look after us.
06:56What is this, another dimension?
06:58You know what it's like with babies.
07:01I don't know, I don't know.
07:02What is this, another dimension?
07:03You know what it's like with babies.
07:06Oh, this is nice.
07:07I was hoping for a bit of a party before my evening shift.
07:09Oi, Leela, fancy a cocktail on the house?
07:12Not today.
07:13Come on, don't be a boring Mary, leave me this teat old Tina.
07:16I said not today, Grace.
07:20I hope she's all right.
07:21Forget her, what about me?
07:23I mean, yeah, same.
07:27What are we going to do now?
07:29I'm off for the rest of the day, you and I could do something.
07:32Do you fancy getting tanked up and gossiping about them?
07:35Not really.
07:36Forget it then.
07:38Joel's been nicked for perverting the course of justice.
07:42All right, so they're going to know that he wasn't with his dad when Norma died.
07:45All right, so are we done?
07:47Can I return these kids to their mother?
07:50No.
07:52Even without his dopey son's phony alibi.
07:55Or he'll find his way out of it, he always does.
07:57Well, it looks like you got him exactly where you want him.
07:59He took my child away from me.
08:01Makes sense that I give him payback plus interest.
08:06He does what he's told.
08:07He can get his kids back.
08:09And if he doesn't?
08:15Right, go on, disappear.
08:28Everything all right, Dave?
08:29Yeah, what are you doing here?
08:31You're supposed to be doing driving lessons, I'm warning.
08:33I was just on my way to pick up a student and I just saw that your van was here.
08:36Just wanted to make sure everything was tickety-boo.
08:38Yeah, no, it's flat battery.
08:42That's why I, it's why I...
08:45Is that Mercedes?
08:46Flagged that guy down, see if he could help, but he didn't have any jumpers.
08:49What's it become?
08:51Well, no bother.
08:52I'll give my breakdown cover a call.
08:55No, no, no, no, it's fine, it's fine, don't matter.
08:57It's fine, it'll be all right.
08:58It's fine, honestly, I just need to give him a postcode.
09:02Huh?
09:04Right, well, what if it happens again, eh?
09:05You don't want it cutting off halfway home, do you?
09:08Hey, yeah, I've got a broken down van here.
09:10Hey, look.
09:11Registration, oh.
09:12She said it was fine, she said leave it.
09:16Told you to leave it.
09:28Oh, f**k, nothing, again.
09:36You told me to trust you and we've got nowhere.
09:39I've got a guy tracing the burner faults and I've given him that number too.
09:42Well, we've only got till 7pm and we haven't got time to waste.
09:46Try call him again.
09:48Just face it, we are out of options.
09:51I need to convince Warren to do what Blue wants, or...
09:53Warren does this and it's over.
09:55Everything you've both been trying to avoid happens.
09:58And Blue wins again.
09:59Is that what you really want?
10:00You think I give a toss about winning or losing?
10:02The only thing I care about is getting my babies back safe and sound.
10:07Mercedes, I'm close to nailing him this time.
10:10Okay, answer me this.
10:12What would you do?
10:15If this were Vicky and Andre, what would you do in my situation?
10:22I'd do everything I could to get them back, but Mercedes, there's got to be another way.
10:26Please, Donny, tell me. I am begging you.
10:32We both know what I've got to do.
10:36Hey, so what happened? Did they let you go?
11:00Oh, not quite. I met with Bill, though.
11:03Look, Leela, come on. It doesn't mean I'm going to sit down for it.
11:06I'm just going to take them that little bit longer.
11:08Or I'll call this mess out.
11:12Yeah.
11:15You know what, Joel?
11:17You didn't get caught nicking a bag of sweets, you know?
11:20You got caught giving a false alibi for someone facing a murder charge.
11:24I know.
11:26Look, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to deal with this the best way I can, for you.
11:29Wait there a minute.
11:41It's fine, I'm just, I've got drug symptoms, I'm fine.
11:50Look, I know it looks bad.
11:54All I'll do is I'll get arrested, right, and I'll get a lawyer,
11:57somebody that knows what they're doing.
11:58Yeah, slap a nurse.
12:02Slap an arrest.
12:05Do you know what, Joel?
12:07You need to wake up.
12:10And we need to face reality.
12:13You're going to prison.
12:29What?
12:32What is it?
12:33It's Michael.
12:36He's taken the twins.
12:38Was he hurt?
12:40Mercedes, are the babies okay?
12:41As far as I know, they are safe.
12:45So what does he want?
12:48I don't know how to say this.
12:50Mercedes.
12:53Look, whatever it is, money, the businesses, the loft, the garage,
12:57he can have it all.
12:58It's not that.
13:00Then what is it?
13:03He said he would give them back unharmed if you follow his orders.
13:09What orders?
13:11If we want to see the girls again,
13:14you have got to confess to killing your mother by 7pm tonight.
13:22And you've got to spend the rest of your life in here.
13:27I have never bowed down to anyone in my life, ever.
13:48I have been knocked down plenty of times, but I have always gotten back up.
13:53And if anyone has tried to have me over, I have always made them pay.
13:57These are our babies that we're talking about here.
14:03Lauren, I wish there was another way to get the girls back, to get you out of here.
14:08But the truth is, this feud with Blue is going to end up costing us everything.
14:16Look at what's going on with Joel.
14:19You've lost your mother.
14:22We have tried everything.
14:25It's over.
14:27A swiss, a little rat will show his face.
14:33You do realise what this means if I do this, don't you?
14:39I love you.
14:41And I know you love me.
14:47But the one thing we love more than each other in this world is our love.
14:54Children.
14:57If you don't do this, none of us are going to ever see the twins ever again.
15:05And I don't want to bow down to Blue's orders either.
15:12But we have to.
15:15It's the only way.
15:25Have you seen Mercedes' twins?
15:26Yeah, I did bump into them during a big shop in Bryce Heights.
15:28Not funny, Grace.
15:29Cindy, there you are. I really need to speak to you.
15:32Not now, Tom. Someone's taken them.
15:34What? Has anyone phoned the police?
15:35Well, Donnie said that he was taught in here, so I presume they've been to the station.
15:38I need to phone Freddie and check on Kaz and Lexie.
15:42Dave!
15:43I was just about to call you. I wonder where you got to. Are you all right?
15:45I have been trying to call you for ages.
15:47I left my phone on silent, I'm sorry.
15:49But you knew where I was, right? I was at Mrs. Grace's, sorting out a meeting with her.
15:52You knew where I was, right? I was at Mrs. Grace's, sorting out a media wall out of town.
15:55Out of town, wasn't it? Any word specific?
15:58Someone has stolen Mercedes' twins,
15:59and I've been running around all afternoon trying to find them, but nothing.
16:02Look, it might have nothing to do with Blue,
16:04but just keep your eyes peeled, all right?
16:06Until I know some more.
16:08What is it you wanted to say?
16:10Right, panic over.
16:11Lexie and Kurt are fine, so panic over for me.
16:14Just keep your post legit.
16:16Yeah.
16:17How long have you been looking for them?
16:18Oh, give or take four hours.
16:19Well, you must be shattered.
16:21Why don't you get yourself home? I'll continue the search.
16:23You don't need any more stress after the day you've had.
16:26Hero, are we?
16:27Thank you. Yes, I will do that.
16:42Oh, I can't wait anymore. I need to ring my dad.
16:45Listen, you said you'd give him more time to sort things out, yeah?
16:51I just feel so useless.
16:54I mean, this is all my fault,
16:55and I'm sat here doing absolutely nothing to fix it.
16:58I was just watching them a little bit closer.
17:00I could have...
17:01Well, could have what?
17:03Reasoned with them?
17:04Listen, baby snatchers aren't the type of people you can just talk down.
17:07Vicky, you need to understand this wasn't your fault.
17:10I mean...
17:11No, listen, I'm not going to sit here and watch you beat yourself up over something, yeah?
17:16What happened was beyond hideous,
17:18but the only people to blame are the sick freaks that took them.
17:22For what?
17:24Everything.
17:26Hey.
17:27Have they found them?
17:28Not yet.
17:29But the police have got nothing.
17:31They're doing all they can.
17:33I feel so awful, Dad.
17:34I know.
17:35No matter what I say, it's not going to make you feel any better.
17:39Look, if it's any help, it's just as much my fault as it is yours.
17:43I was there too.
17:45You need to give yourself a break.
17:48Let's go home, eh?
17:51Oh.
17:58So you're the reason why Vicky was so distracted when the babies were taken?
18:02What are you trying to say?
18:04Nothing.
18:06But if I was a suspicious man, I'd be keeping a close eye on you, Ethan.
18:12Then are you a suspicious man?
18:22Here you go, princess.
18:23Eat up.
18:24I can't.
18:25I'm so worried about Mercedes.
18:26If that was any of my kids...
18:27Hey.
18:28I told you I'm not going to stand around and watch you make yourself ill over this.
18:32Right.
18:32I'm going to pick up the search, okay?
18:35Hey.
18:36Listen.
18:37Make sure she eats something, yeah?
18:38Remember what I said.
18:40No more stress.
18:43Understood.
18:52Cindy.
18:52Not now, Tom.
18:53It's been a hell of a day.
18:54Just listen to me.
18:55Go to moon at mispronounce something, then.
18:56No.
18:57It has to be you and it has to be now.
18:59You're not going to like it.
19:00It's about Dave.
19:02What about Dave?
19:03Look, I found him on the car park, okay?
19:05He said he'd broken down.
19:07So I tried to call breakdown repair.
19:09It's like he just switched.
19:11I have never seen him like that before.
19:13He pushed me on the floor, drove off.
19:16What?
19:16I'll tell you what he did have, though.
19:18He had a different car.
19:18He was driving.
19:19What he did have, though, he had a different phone.
19:21He had an old one.
19:23And you know who he was calling.
19:25Mercedes.
19:26I didn't think anything of it until I saw him earlier on with his normal one.
19:29The way that he reacted to you when you told him about them twins.
19:33Something's wrong here, Cindy.
19:34Something is seriously wrong.
19:37What are you trying to say?
19:40I mean, I think...
19:43I think Dave had something to do with the twins being taken.
19:50Do you have something for me?
19:51That depends.
19:54Have all my terms and conditions been met?
19:56They have.
19:58As agreed.
19:59Good.
20:02What now?
20:03Joel.
20:05DS Peel's authorised me to inform you that all charges against you have been dropped.
20:10What? Why?
20:11DS Peel and the CPS decided there's insufficient evidence to proceed to trial.
20:15They only charged me this afternoon.
20:18Perhaps it's worth having a chat with your dad.
20:21I'll see myself out.
20:34And what about my sunroof and my 85-inch TV?
20:38Fair enough.
20:39I knew I was pushing it with that one.
20:41Must be your end of the bargain.
20:42Easy, tiger.
20:49There's a few things I need to hear from my solicitor first.
21:07Why now?
21:08We've been dying to put you away for years
21:10and all of a sudden you hand yourself to us on a plate.
21:13Maybe the guilt got the better of me.
21:17Or maybe I just realise when I've lost.
21:42I'm looking sound asleep.
21:51Hello, my babies.
22:07There you go.
22:09That's what you wanted.
22:11A full-signed confession.
22:13It was me.
22:16I killed Norma.
22:42Well, that's great.
22:49Thanks for letting me know.
22:51Was that about the twins?
22:52Have they found him?
22:53Maria Gabriela and Maria Carmela.
22:57Both home safe and sound.
22:59Oh, gosh.
23:00I can't believe it.
23:01I haven't been that terrified since, like, ever.
23:05And now?
23:07Well, their little girls are safe.
23:09And so is mine.
23:11That's all that matters.
