00:00Now you said you own this place, but this says it's registered to Warren Fox.
00:04We're together.
00:05For me.
00:06I know how hard the end of a marriage can be, so
00:09I thought I'd try and make things a little less rubbish.
00:14I am gonna find this blue and I am gonna deal with him.
00:17All I wanna do is be a dad again.
00:19Either a dad or a gangster, you can't be both.
00:23That's why we all agreed to get you out of the house by tomorrow.
00:25I've just got my blood test results.
00:27I've got LSD in my system.
00:29Someone's been drugging me.
00:30They've got access to me.
00:33You better find out who it is.
00:59Waterman Sugar High
01:18Hello.
01:18Waterman Sugar High
01:34You better stop walking, because you ain't staying in.
01:42Waterman Sugar High
01:46It's a bit sour-ish.
01:49That's got great taste.
01:50Waterman Sugar High
01:55Right, what is going on, OK?
01:57Just let me go!
02:00Do you really reckon pretty boy Barman's got it in him to drug Warren?
02:04There's got to be someone who sees him all the time.
02:06And knows his routine.
02:08And for all we know, it could be Norma.
02:11Or Mercedes.
02:12Or you.
02:13What?
02:14No, you seriously don't think that...
02:18How do I know it's not you?
02:21I want Blue out of the way, remember?
02:23Stop him muscling in on my business.
02:25Warren knows where my loyalties lie.
02:28Time to make a grown man sweat.
02:30Whoa, whoa, no.
02:31Don't need to start with the beating, do we?
02:33Ethan could just be working for someone and following orders.
02:35Have you got the ball for this?
02:37Warren's expecting answers.
02:39Of course I have.
02:40I have, I can do it.
02:42Listen, me and Ethan, we go way back.
02:44So I'll get him talking.
02:47Right.
02:48But when that doesn't work, I'll make him see things my way.
02:56So, did you drug Warren?
03:02I should be out there looking for the little rat who did this.
03:06That is what staff is for.
03:08Let Ste and Rex do the legwork.
03:11And let me take care of you.
03:12The doctors have given me the all clear.
03:15I don't need babysitting.
03:16I think you need a reminder of what's important.
03:20Yeah, stopping this Blue messing with my head and shutting him down.
03:23Making amends with Mercedes and keeping your children safe.
03:27Me and Mercedes were already hanging by a thread.
03:30She blames me for ruining the grand opening of Castle McQueen.
03:33And she reckons there's too many secrets between us.
03:36Then convince her things are going to change.
03:38She and the girls are your family, your future.
03:41It's your job to do whatever it takes to protect them.
03:44How can I convince Mercedes I can protect her
03:47when this scumbag won't show his face?
03:49Well, without you in her life,
03:51Mercedes and the children will be even more exposed.
03:54You need to make her understand that.
04:00Can you please just let me feed my babies before you chuck us out?
04:03I'm pretty sure Warren can cough up for that B&B you found or a five-star hotel.
04:07Prince, do you want me to meet your brooders to calm down?
04:09Calm down?
04:10That selfish cow's swapping spit with my brother's killer.
04:12That ain't gonna get sorted with a cuppa, is it?
04:14Mercedes, we agreed that you could stay for one more night
04:17just so you could find somewhere for the children,
04:19but it really is best that you leave.
04:22What happened to making Warren pay as well?
04:24Or was that all a lie?
04:25I wasn't back with him then.
04:26Look, we can still have Castle McQueen.
04:29Think about it.
04:30This is for our kids' future.
04:33Us three are going to the cafe to clear out our stuff
04:36and you better not be here when we get back.
04:37I can't run that cafe on my tod, Prince,
04:40with two newborns in tow, please.
04:42That's your problem, ain't it?
04:44This is an amazing opportunity for all of us.
04:47Look, we all deserve a fresh start, some stability.
04:51This could be it.
04:54No, Bea, it's not my bag.
04:56You know I'm much more of a soul boy than a shoegazer.
04:59No, I'm not dissing you.
05:01To each his own, ain't I?
05:03I tell you what, try Dicko off the trading post.
05:06Yeah.
05:07All right, love, take it easy.
05:13Shoegazer?
05:16That's a phrase I've not heard in a long time.
05:19It's me, Disco Benny, trying to flog some vinyl.
05:22You know, 80s guitar, The Cure,
05:24Echo and the Bunnymen, that kind of thing.
05:26I loved Echo and the Bunnymen.
05:28Don't tell me you're a shoegazer.
05:30Can someone explain to me what that means?
05:32Indie rock fans at a gig, you'd see them standing there,
05:35swaying side to side.
05:37Gazing down at the Doc Martens in a sulk.
05:42We weren't sulking.
05:43We were taking in the atmosphere, appreciating the music.
05:47Well, Benny's flogging some vinyl.
05:49Watch that if you're interested.
05:50Really?
05:52I had to sell my vinyls years ago.
05:53Always regretted it, especially my Porcupine.
05:57It's an album title.
06:00Okay, I'll call him back.
06:01Tell him to get his collection down to the dog at lunchtime.
06:04Meet me there and you can have a shufty.
06:07Okay.
06:07All right, see you later, shoegazer.
06:14So you two are finally going on a date then?
06:16It's not a date.
06:18I haven't even thought about dating again.
06:20Yeah, of course you haven't.
06:21Especially someone who's my complete opposite,
06:24not to mention a different face.
06:26I'd better get to work.
06:33Hey, where have yous been?
06:35I was out of it when you left.
06:37Got the dog?
06:40We had the appointment for the wait, didn't we?
06:41I thought that was this afternoon.
06:43It's okay.
06:45Tony was dead sweet.
06:47I suppose he gets it, don't he?
06:49Listen, why didn't you call me to remind me?
06:51Because, Joel, I know you're still not ready.
06:54It's not that, right?
06:54I'm just, I'm exhausted.
06:56I'm sorry I wasn't there.
06:59Are you okay?
07:00Yeah, I thought you were going to tidy up.
07:02Yeah, I will.
07:03We need to clear the table.
07:05I've got loads of paperwork to sort out for Noah's-
07:08I said I'd do it.
07:10For you, man.
07:12Right, have you thought about what reading you're going to do?
07:14You know, prayer,
07:16or his grave side?
07:17Not yet.
07:19Why don't you choose something from the Bible?
07:21But it doesn't even have to be religious.
07:23Yeah, it's just saying a few words.
07:26And it'll only be me and you there.
07:28Now, can we just talk about this later, please?
07:29Right, I'll take the bins and I think I'm going to go for a walk.
07:34Okay.
07:38Are you okay?
07:41Yeah, I just thought I don't want to push him,
07:43Pez, but I can't do this on my own.
07:48I can't organise my baby's funeral on my own.
07:50When you're not on your own,
07:52and you never will be,
07:54let me help you.
07:56Let me do this for my little brother.
08:01It's okay, my darlings.
08:03We're going on a little adventure, yeah?
08:05Figure this out.
08:10Go away!
08:14Hey.
08:15You're packing?
08:17Does that mean we're still moving in together?
08:18We can give up marching orders from this place,
08:20or book to B&B while we sort ourselves out.
08:23Come to the house like we planned.
08:25My girls, they need a permanent roof over there.
08:27Too late, Warren.
08:29If you can't even be honest with me, then what is the point?
08:31Here, let me.
08:32I don't need your help.
08:33Please.
08:34No!
08:36I am furious at you.
08:38I'm sick of all the lies, the secrecy.
08:39I'm just...
08:44I hate the fact that I need you.
08:48That we need you.
08:50It's okay.
08:52It's okay.
08:53Look, this does not have to be the end
08:58of us, of our family.
09:00Hey.
09:02Just hear me out.
09:03Please.
09:05Why would I spike my boss?
09:07And why do people keep tying me up?
09:11If I'm being completely honest, I usually prefer a blindfold.
09:14Mum.
09:15Ben.
09:17If someone made you do it,
09:20yeah, say one of his enemies, then just tell us.
09:23We'll protect you, won't we?
09:26Warren's trusting us to get to the bottom of this,
09:28so all we're doing is ruling out anyone that works for him.
09:30Okay.
09:32And what about your little guard dog?
09:33That's it, get the bat.
09:34It's behind the bar.
09:34No, Steve, don't get the bat.
09:35Steve, please!
09:36What are you waiting for?
09:37Unlock the door.
09:37I'm just trying to find the key.
09:39It's in the door!
09:48The LSD is in my pocket.
09:51How did it get there?
09:52I've been with you the whole time.
09:56You put it there.
09:59Ben.
10:00Sorry, there's been a misunderstanding.
10:02Just go.
10:03Steve!
10:03Look, just get out!
10:05Okay, I do not get paid enough for this.
10:10Are you trying to set me up?
10:23I was looking forward to running a cafe
10:25and learning how to do these...
10:26and learning how to do these swirly shapes on top of the coffee.
10:32Theresa, you're meant to be helping with the packing,
10:34not fapping around with a coffee machine.
10:36Well, I've tried to do my face and it looks like a budgie.
10:38Well, Castle McQueen is closed for business.
10:41I know, it's a shame, innit?
10:43Could have run this as a family, couldn't we?
10:45It would have been brilliant.
10:46I could have helped out after school and...
10:48Do you not think we're being just a little bit harsh on our miss?
10:51Absolutely not.
10:52Maybe.
10:54It's the girls I feel most sorry for.
10:56Me too.
10:57Especially with Warren as a father.
10:58Well, one of them.
10:59I mean, if we do cut ourselves off from Mercedes,
11:04then we're not gonna be able to see the girls grow up, are we?
11:07And our miss did have a point about this place.
11:09It could mean security for the next generation of McQueens.
11:13Hunter and Zoe's baby.
11:16So what, you're saying that we just forgive and forget just like that?
11:19Guys, this is ridiculous.
11:21What are we doing?
11:23Warren signed this place over to Mercedes, right?
11:25I mean, it says Casa McQueen outside.
11:27It doesn't say Casa Fox.
11:29We could run this as a family.
11:31Warren doesn't have to have anything to do with it.
11:33Well, if we do, then neither does Mercedes.
11:35We don't need her and she's living it up with Warren's cash.
11:37And she don't need us.
11:39But she's always said,
11:40don't let a grudge get in the way of a business opportunity.
11:43Exactly.
11:44And what would Hunter want, hey?
11:46He wouldn't want us to let a vendetta get in the way of our success.
11:50He'd put family first.
11:53We'll never get a chance like this again.
11:54So what do you say?
11:56Should we turn this place into the best cafe in Chester, in Hunter's memory?
12:05All right.
12:07Casa McQueen's open for business.
12:09Yes.
12:11I should have told you that this blue situation was still going on.
12:15I thought keeping it from you was the right thing to do.
12:19Keeping stuff from each other, Warren, is never the right thing to do.
12:22I know.
12:23I have handled this all wrong.
12:27But I will never lie to you again, I swear on my life.
12:30Look, Merce.
12:32We have both lost a child.
12:35Not have both parents around.
12:38But we have got a chance to do things right.
12:42For us to have our own family.
12:44Okay.
12:46You look at me in the eye and you tell me the truth.
12:50Are you the reason that Fred is in a coma?
12:53Yeah.
12:54I thought it was blue.
12:56I knew it.
12:57Look, I was just trying to keep you safe.
12:59Safe?
13:00Yes.
13:01I am gonna find this blue and I'm gonna finish it.
13:03And then what?
13:05What, you end up in prison or worse?
13:07Dead?
13:08I won't.
13:10Look, all I want is for you and the girls to be okay.
13:15I'm not gonna let you do this.
13:16I'm not gonna let you do this.
13:18Okay?
13:24If anything ever happens to me,
13:28Fraser's cash is in the attic of the new house.
13:39Our new house.
13:43Okay.
13:45I want you to know that I am giving up everything for you.
13:52Don't make me regret it, Warren.
14:00Why did I trust you?
14:04I'm such an idiot.
14:06There's nothing wrong in seeing the good in people, Steve.
14:08It's a very attractive quality.
14:10You're not getting away with this.
14:11I'm not getting away with this.
14:13You're not getting away with this.
14:14Do you hear me?
14:16Warren, what are you doing here?
14:19I need to get some paperwork for me and Mercedes.
14:23Listen, there's been a breakthrough.
14:27For what?
14:29I found a little bottle of LSD in the club.
14:34So whoever it was, was right under our nose the whole time.
14:38Just like you said.
14:39So who is it?
14:44We're still trying to figure that out, aren't we?
14:46Well, it's hardly a breakthrough, is it?
14:48Get me a name.
14:51I won't let you down.
14:52I promise.
14:54Good lad.
14:59Here's a good boy.
15:01Looks like we understand each other.
15:13Wow.
15:21As if my day couldn't get any weirder.
15:23I'm just checking on them, too.
15:25Like, sort of on a date.
15:26But, like, not really.
15:28All right, well, if it's romance you're after,
15:29there is a singles night at The Loft next week.
15:31Bring your mates.
15:32It's a tenner and a wristband.
15:33Tenner?
15:34That's a bit steep, but, innit?
15:37Okay.
15:37Well, that means you can Q-jump and get two-for-one cocktails.
15:41Plus, if your dad can find love again, then I'm sure you can, too.
15:46You know, there's someone for everyone, right?
15:50Oh, killing moon on 12-inch.
15:53I saved up to buy this,
15:54but the record shop had sold out before I had enough money.
15:58Oh, life is so cruel.
15:59Echo and the Bunnymen were the first band I saw live.
16:04My parents didn't approve, so I told them I was going to the cinema
16:08to see three men and a baby.
16:10Quite the rebel you were, innit?
16:11Well, I was more of a loner and a misfit.
16:16Oh, but their songs made me feel like it didn't matter,
16:21like I was part of something.
16:24It's a part of music, you see.
16:26I mean, growing up, it didn't matter how hard things were at school or at home.
16:30A little bit of Saturday Night Soul at the local disco, that got me going.
16:35I was always too shy to dance.
16:38Too busy staring at your shoes?
16:41And another bevy while we wallow in nostalgia.
16:43Erm, go on, then. Oranges, please.
16:46Ooh, they're good.
16:47Oh, erm, excuse me, do you have a pen?
17:17Ooh. You know what?
17:22Good for you, Misbelle.
17:23Getting back in the dating scene after the whole Zane thing.
17:25No time to let the grass grow, am I right?
17:28Do you think it's too Zane?
17:29Is that what it looks like?
17:31Oh, erm, it's actually none of my business, so...
17:37Thank you.
17:41Here we go.
17:42Where are you going?
17:43I thought we'd have another there.
17:47Okay, next on the list is...
17:54Why don't we have a brew?
17:56No. Go on, Percival, what's next?
18:01It's about carrying the coffin.
18:04Oh.
18:08Didn't think about that.
18:13So, erm, what does it say? Do the parents have to do it?
18:17It's completely up to you and Joel.
18:20If you decide not to, the funeral director can do it.
18:22We've just got to let them know.
18:27Oh, what should I do? I mean, I can't...
18:29I can't decide without Joel, can I?
18:33Just do whatever you think's right, Mum.
18:38I can't even imagine looking at the coffin, never mind.
18:42Yeah, just... I'd just rather they do it.
18:45Okay.
18:47How about that brew?
18:49Yeah.
18:51You know, I just don't want to do anything wrong.
18:54Like, I don't want to make, you know, a decision with it that Joel's not happy with.
18:58Don't want to upset him.
19:01It's all going to be okay, Mum.
19:03I promise.
19:05You notice he's sweat talking about the eulogy?
19:07You notice he's sweat talking about the eulogy?
19:11He's really bottling things up?
19:14Yeah.
19:16Do you know if he's been going to church much?
19:19Or maybe he's been going there to get his head together?
19:21Oh, I don't know, Pes.
19:23I barely even know what I'm doing half the time, never mind anyone else.
19:26You know, I just hope he's talking to someone.
19:30Because he's not talking to me.
19:37So...
20:01You did the right thing, keeping your mouth sharp.
20:07I should serve you up to Warren on a plate.
20:09Yeah, but you won't.
20:11Unless you want your hubby to see me and you getting close on the day of your sentencing.
20:17Filming us.
20:18Having sex.
20:19This is sick.
20:22It was an insurance policy.
20:24I had to keep you in line.
20:26What?
20:27What, you thought it was a coincidence?
20:29The mysterious blue getting you released?
20:34Why did you try and get rid of Freddie?
20:36Can't have been to protect Warren.
20:37To remove scent, didn't it?
20:40So I've been played.
20:42Since the day we met.
20:44Sorry, Steve.
20:46You're not that irresistible.
20:48Planting the drugs on me, though.
20:50Didn't work, did it?
20:51Like I said, it's nothing personal.
20:54I needed to get rid of the gear.
20:56Probably would have pinned it on Ethan.
20:58Think you were onto something there.
20:59So are you in?
21:02Are you blue?
21:06What if I am?
21:10Because if you are,
21:13you're a dead man.
21:16I don't even know why you're doing this.
21:18Why are you so desperate to go after Warren?
21:23All you need to know
21:25is that you're going to help me end Warren Fox,
21:27or I will end you and everyone you love.
21:30Are you buffing?
21:37Breathe a word about me drugging Warren,
21:39and your family will pay the price.
21:45You're out of your depth, Steve.
21:48I own you now.
22:06I'm gonna be a great barista.
22:32Or is it baristest?
22:33Sort of.
22:36Theresa, what's that supposed to be?
22:37That's your eyes and nose and a mouth.
22:40Yeah, that's not what that looks like.
22:46It's a good job we live next door to an A&E department
22:48because you're going to scare the pensioners half to death.
22:52Oh, you're so cruel.
