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
01:30He's not breathing.
01:56And 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.
02:12He hasn't woken up.
02:14He will.
02:15You can feel it.
02:17Come on.
02:26I'm sorry.
02:29I'm not leaving until you explain.
02:32Fine.
02:33Stay.
02:34Don't eat the cornichon.
02:36Now, why would you tell me that you slept with Jez and you hadn't?
02:39And I've also been told that you've updated your will
02:41and included Leah and Lucas in it.
02:44Well, with your track record,
02:45those kids are gonna need all the help they can get.
02:47No, something is going on.
02:49I know it is.
02:52Do you still love me?
02:54Do you still love me?
02:57You do, don't you?
03:02I need to get to work.
03:10So, if Joe was his alibi, what about the gun?
03:13If Warren's innocent, why was it in his house?
03:17Oh, do we really need one more pic of Jude in a swimming pool?
03:21Oh, Kate, I am off to work.
03:23Is that a love bite?
03:24What, are we back in the 90s?
03:26Well, I mean, you do still dress like you're a teenager.
03:28Rude.
03:30You know what, he won't be happy when Warren gets out
03:32and he can't impress the ladies being the big boss at the loft anymore.
03:36He's not even got a release date yet.
03:38Can you imagine being accused of killing your own mum when you didn't do it?
03:43I mean, that is really brutal.
03:46Now, Warren finds out you set him up,
03:48Now, Warren finds out you set him up,
03:50he's going to destroy them.
03:53Listen, forget about all that.
03:55We 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.
04:06The doctor says you're fine to come home.
04:08No, 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?
04:17Joe, did you do the drugs because we had a fight?
04:20No.
04:23No, I, erm...
04:25I 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.
04:43Every time they did, they'd just come straight back again.
04:45This is the only thing that would help.
04:47What?
04:49This wasn't a one-off.
04:50Leila, now's not the time.
04:52No, no, no. Have you been doing drugs since Noah's funeral?
04:56Yeah.
04:59Joe, did you do them in the house?
05:02Joel!
05:03Daniel was never there.
05:07Leila, where are you going?
05:08You can stay, but I'm done.
05:11You can stay, but I'm done.
05:21Is she clear on the plan?
05:22Crystal.
05:24We go straight for the jugular show, Warren.
05:26The prison's not the worst option.
05:28And he realises that'll make it easier for everyone.
05:31Especially Mercedes.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Speaking of which, I've got to get to the lot,
05:36but help us celebrate Warren's release.
05:39Whatever you say, boss.
05:41Just, um...
05:43Don't let me down.
05:45Wait for the signal and then...
05:46Yeah, poor cow. I almost feel sorry for her.
06:01You told him we hadn't slept together?
06:03Actually, I didn't tell Steve. I told Sienna.
06:06I'm not keeping anything from her.
06:08Anyway, what does it matter?
06:10I thought you and him were supposed to be done.
06:12We are.
06:15Yeah, well, I never thought you two were a natural match.
06:18He's a little...
06:19Rough?
06:20Mm-hm.
06:21You 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.
06:35No.
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,
07:07no matter how painful,
07:09I would take it.
07:11And I think Steve would, too.

08:32Why didn't you talk to me, Joel?
08:34And say what?
08:37Lila, you've been through the same, but worse.
08:40They won't put you through any more.
08:42But you have.
08:44I mean, how...
08:46How did I not know that you were back on the drugs?
08:50I mean, why didn't you even show up in your medical for work?
08:53I...
08:54I...
08:55I...
08:56I...
08:57I...
08:58I...
08:59I...
09:00Medical for work?
09:02Mercedes, she...
09:05She helped me fake the urine test.
09:08Mercedes?
09:11Of course she did.
09:14You know that's not going to work, don't you?
09:26That could have been us.
09:28Proper little family.
09:30Still is.
09:32We're not, are we?
09:34You didn't even speak to me
09:36before you went and gave your dad an alibi.
09:40I couldn't.
09:42I had no choice.
09:44It was Mercedes,
09:46but she
09:48threatened to tell you about the drugs.
09:50She was only doing it because she had to help my dad somehow.
09:52Right.
09:54So she was threatening you.
09:56Yeah, that's it.
09:58Where are you going?
10:00To kill her.
10:06What are you doing?
10:08I knocked your bag over.
10:10Oh my.
10:12I didn't realise love bites
10:14were still a thing.
10:16So, take out any of the artist.
10:18None of your business.
10:20You just used my £40 concealer to cover it.
10:22It's my business.
10:24You finally got it on.
10:26I knew locking you in the office would work.
10:28Yeah, but it shouldn't have happened.
10:30I'm her boss.
10:32Not anymore.
10:34Come on, just admit that you like her.
10:36She's smart.
10:38She's gorgeous.
10:40She's hilarious.
10:42She doesn't play mind games like you or Sienna.
10:44Besides,
10:46it was a one-off.
10:48So what?
10:50You'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?
11:00No, I didn't. It's not like she's short of admirers.
11:02And yet, for some unknown reason
11:04to the rest of mankind, she shows you.
11:06So stop being a big wet fish
11:08and guessing what she wants and
11:10phone her.
11:14I tell you what, I love my girls to bits
11:16but this is bliss.
11:18Miss Pitt
11:20is seriously a bad photographer.
11:22Because of her, I can make anyone look good.
11:24Oi.
11:26What was that for?
11:28You manipulative little bitch.
11:30Joel is in hell because of you.
11:32I didn't give him drugs.
11:34Yeah, but you knew he had them, didn't you?
11:36And you blackmailed him.
11:38You needed help.
11:40Yeah, and so did Warren.
11:42And I put my family first.
11:44And what about my family?
11:46You know I have already
11:48lost a son.
11:50And now I'm gonna lose Joel too.
12:16you
12:46you
13:16you
13:46you
13:48you
13:50you
13:52you
13:54you
13:56you
13:58you
14:00you
14:02So you and Dylan had a nice time then?
14:04No, it was alright.
14:06Well I know you didn't get that glow from the sun.
14:08Ew, gross.
14:10You think I'm gross?
14:12You don't want your present anymore, yeah?
14:14Yeah.
14:16Thought I might shut you up.
14:20Survived the bright light of Blackpool then?
14:22Yeah.
14:24Although I'm not sure it survived him.
14:28It's Dylan. You're busy.
14:30But I was just wondering if...
14:34Sorry.
14:36Yes, this is James Nightingale.
14:40An MRI scan?
14:44This afternoon?
14:56Nice slap.
14:58Plenty more where that came from.
15:00Hey, I'm not starting anything. I've had a champagne.
15:02It wouldn't be a fair fight.
15:04Do you want some of it?
15:06I'm sorry about Joel.
15:10But you're not sorry for what you did.
15:14No, no matter how low you stoop,
15:16things always seem to work out for you, don't they?
15:18Yeah.
15:20Yeah, because 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.
15:30I don't understand anything you do.
15:32Clearly not.
15:34Because you won't be giving up on yours so easily.
15:36Don't you dare.
15:40Look, what Joel did was stupid.
15:42It could have been a lot worse, Leela.
15:44He's still alive.
15:48He's lied to me for weeks.
15:52I'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
16:02and I don't even have a clue.
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
16:16to lose a baby.
16:18That feeling of injustice.
16:20Like everyone gets to go home with their baby
16:22but 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.
16:34If you really love Joel,
16:38fight for him, yeah?
16:42Yeah.
16:52Marie?
16:54How's your Joel?
16:56He's alright.
16:58He's alright. It was just a little mix-up
17:00with the insulin, that's all.
17:02Oh, was it?
17:04What's the visiting times?
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.
17:18It's not the coffee that'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...
17:30Hurry up and sign the divorce papers, will you?
17:32Unlike you, I'd like to move on.
17:40The Wanderer returns.
17:42Oh, yeah?
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.
18:00Is Mercedes still alive?
18:02There could be a nuclear war and the McQueens
18:04would still survive.
18:06You really shouldn't be discharging yourself.
18:08Yeah, but there's no point
18:10in wasting a bed, is there?
18:12I mean, the drugs are almost out of 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...
18:26I shouldn't have given my dad that alibi.
18:28Right? But I...
18:30I 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 might have to go into it.
18:40Joel, you really
18:42need to go into a drug programme and
18:44get cleaned properly.
18:46Anything. All of you.
18:50I don't know
18:52what I'd do without you.
18:54I'm sorry.
18:56Joel Dexter. Yeah?
18:58We've been looking into your recent statement.
19:00You claimed that
19:02you were with your father during the two-hour window
19:04he wasn't accounted for.
19:06That's right.
19:08Except CCTV from Pricelight shows
19:10you 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.
19:20You don't have to say anything,
19:22but it may harm your defence if you do not mention
19:24one question, something which you later rely on
19:26in court.
19:28Joel.
19:30I'll be fine.
19:36Afternoon.
19:38Oh.
19:40Hi.
19:42You all right?
19:44Yeah. Thanks for the text.
19:46Sorry that I had to drag you to the park.
19:48It's just that my dad's
19:50volunteered me to watch Mercedes Twins.
19:52Oh, yeah, well, you know, happy to oblige.
19:54Oh, my gosh. Are you OK?
19:56Yeah. You all right? Yep.
19:58Yeah? Excellent.
20:00Listen, about...
20:02Oh, sorry.
20:04Listen, about...
20:06No, you go first. Sorry.
20:08Um, no
20:10pressure or anything.
20:12Do you want to...
20:14Do you want to grab a coffee or something?
20:16Are you asking me on 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.
20:42Did you hear that, girls? I just got myself a...
20:46Girls?
20:48Girls?
20:50Girls?
21:02OK.
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,
21:24then let him.
21:26Really?
21:32Yeah.
21:38Should I get another bottle?
21:40I think you've had enough.
21:42Oh, he had to go on a job.
21:44That's it.
21:46All right, love.
21:48Dad, I need you to help me, OK?
21:50OK, someone just took the babies, OK?
21:52I would literally turn around for, like, one second
21:54and they were just...they were just gone.
21:56What do you mean, gone?
21:58Just...
22:00My babies.
22:02Oh, my God, they've been kidnapped.
22:16Are you sure this is the best way?
22:18Well, he's going to find out
22:20that freedom's not what it's cracked up to be.
22:22It's just hope for the twins' sake.
22:24Mercedes plays along.
22:30Oh, my God!
22:32Ah!
23:00Fancy reviewing my new cocktail?
23:02Put it on the specials board for tonight.
23:04Oh, I think you're taking the initiative.
23:06Gorgeous.
23:08Oh.
23:10It's actually not bad.
23:12I know.
23:14I've called it
23:16the love bite.
23:18Ha-ha.
23:20Ha.
