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