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. I've got Pez and Daniel to think about.
02:06Don't have the luxury of being so reckless.
02:08Yeah.
02:09The doctor said he's gonna be fine, right? They've monitored him overnight.
02:13He hasn't woken up.
02:14He will. I can feel it.
02:17Come on.
02:20Yeah.
02:26I'm sorry.
02:32I'm not leaving until you explain.
02:35Fine. Stay.
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 and included Leah and Lucas in it.
02:47Well, with your track record, those 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 go to work.
03:11Right, so if Joe was his alibi, what 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? What, 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, Warren finds out who set him up, he's gonna destroy them.
03:53Listen, forget about all that.
03:56We should be helping Mercedes celebrate.
03:59You've changed your tune.
04:01Well, 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 saying it.
04:11I thought that's the last place you'd want to be.
04:14Or is it just me you're trying to escape?
04:18Joel, did you do the drugs because we had a fight?
04:21No.
04:24No, I, erm...
04:26I took them because I couldn't stand the way I felt anymore.
04:31I thought after Noah's funeral,
04:33I'd have some sort of acceptance about it, or peace.
04:38But it was worse.
04:40Sweetheart.
04:42I just wanted the thoughts to stop.
04:45Every time they did this, come straight back again.
04:47This is the only thing that would help.
04:49What?
04:51This wasn't a one-off?
04:53Leena, now's not the time.
04:54No, no, no. Have you been doing drugs since Noah's funeral?
04:58Yeah.
05:01Joel, did you do them in the house?
05:04Joel!
05:05Daniel was never there.
05:06Oh.
05:08Leena, where are you going?
05:10You can stay, but I'm done.
05:20Is he clear on the plan?
05:21Crystal.
05:23We go straight for the jugular show, Warren.
05:25The prison's not the worst option.
05:27And he realises that'll make it easy for everyone.
05:30Especially Mercedes.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Speaking of which, I've got to get to the lot,
05:35but help us celebrate Warren's release.
05:38Whatever you say, boss.
05:40Just, um...
05:42Don't let me down.
05:44Wait for the signal, and then...
05:46Yeah, poor car. I almost feel sorry for her.
05:49You told him we hadn't slept together?
05:51Actually, I didn't tell Steve. I told Sienna.
05:53You ever try keeping anything from her?
05:55Anyway, what does it matter?
05:57I thought you and him were supposed to be done.
05:59We are.
06:00Hmm.
06:01Yeah, well, I never thought you two were a natural match.
06:05I'm sorry.
06:06I'm sorry.
06:07I'm sorry.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:09I'm sorry.
06:10I'm sorry.
06:11I'm sorry.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I'm sorry.
06:14I'm sorry.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:16I'm sorry.
06:17You know who's a natural match?
06:19He's a little... rough?
06:21Mmm-mm.
06:22You might be a little... uptight?
06:25Yeah, he liked it.
06:27Steve just doesn't care what people think of him.
06:29That's what I love about him.
06:31Loved.
06:33He just thinks he can make a joke about everything,
06:35and sometimes he can't.
06:36No.
06:39Did you have the MRI?
06:41Have they confirmed it's a tumour?
06:44I'm just waiting for an appointment.
06:46I know what's going on in my own body, though.
06:48So tell Ste.
06:50I can't.
06:52Have you ever lost someone?
06:55Have you ever been powerless to help?
06:59I have.
07:00My sister.
07:03There's only one person I've ever truly loved.
07:06And if I could have one more moment with them, no matter how painful,
07:10I would take it.
07:12And I think Ste would, too.
07:16I love you.
07:46I love you.
08:16I'm sorry.
08:19I'm sorry.
08:26I'm sorry.
08:41Why didn't you talk to me, Joel?
08:43See what?
08:46Well, Lila, you've been through the same, but worse.
08:48I don't want to put you through any more.
08:50But you have.
08:53I mean, how...
08:54How did I not know that you were back on the drugs?
08:58I mean, why didn't it even show up in your medical for work?
09:02Mercedes, she, um...
09:05She helped me fix the urine test.
09:08Mercedes?
09:11Of course she did.
09:13You know that's not going to work, don't you?
09:25That could have been us.
09:29Proper little family.
09:30Still is.
09:32It's just that we're not, are we?
09:35You didn't even speak to me
09:37before you went and gave your dad an alibi.
09:40I couldn't.
09:41I thought I had no choice.
09:45It was Mercedes, but she...
09:48She threatened to tell you about the drugs.
09:50She was only doing it because she had to help my dad's son.
09:54Right.
09:55So she was threatening you. That's it.
09:57Where are you going?
09:58To kill her.
10:06What are you doing?
10:08I knocked your bag over.
10:10Oh, my.
10:13I didn't realise love bites were still a thing.
10:15So, take it I know the artist.
10:17None of your business.
10:19You just used my 40-pound concealer to cover it.
10:21It's my business.
10:23So, you and Vicky finally got it on.
10:26I knew locking you in the office would work.
10:28Yeah, but it shouldn't have happened.
10:29Right, I'm her boss.
10:31Mm, well, not anymore.
10:33Oh, come on. Just admit that you like her.
10:35I mean, she's... she's smart.
10:37She's gorgeous.
10:38She's hilarious.
10:39She doesn't play mind games like you or Sienna.
10:42Mm.
10:44Besides, it was a one-off.
10:48So, what, you'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?
10:59No, I didn't.
11:00It's not like she's short of admirers.
11:02And yet, for some unknown reason to the rest of mankind,
11:05she shows you.
11:06So, stop being a big, wet fish and guessing what she wants
11:09and phone her.
11:14I tell you what, I love my girls' debates,
11:16but this is the last time.
11:20Miss Pitt is seriously a bad photographer.
11:23Because of you, I can make anyone look good.
11:25Oi.
11:26Ah! What was that for?
11:27You manipulative little bitch!
11:29Joel isn't here because of you!
11:31Come 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!
11:39You needed help!
11:40Yeah, and so did Warren.
11:41And I put my family first.
11:44And what about my family?
11:46Eh?
11:47You know, I have already lost a son.
11:51And now I'm going to lose Joel, too.

14:00And I'm going to lose Joel, too.
14:02I'll take it you and Dylan had a nice time, then.
14:04No, it was all right.
14:05Well, I know you didn't get that glow from the sun.
14:07Ew, gross.
14:10You think I'm gross?
14:11You don't want your present anymore, do you?
14:13You can't be something.
14:17Thought I might shut you up.
14:20Survived the bright light of Blackpool, then?
14:22Yeah.
14:23Although I'm not sure it survived him.
14:27It's the end. You're busy.
14:29But I was just wondering if...
14:33Sorry.
14:35Yes, this is James Nightingale.
14:39An MRI scan.
14:44This afternoon?
14:50Nice slap.
14:51Plenty more where that came from.
14:53Hey, I'm not starting anything about a champagne.
14:55It wouldn't be a fair fight.
14:57Do you want some of it?
14:59I'm sorry about Joel.
15:03But you're not sorry for what you did.
15:07You know, no matter how low you stoop,
15:10things always seem to work out for you, don't they?
15:12Yeah.
15:13I mean, it's not like I'm trying to be nice to you.
15:16Things always seem to work out for you, don't they?
15:18Yeah.
15:20Yeah, cos 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.
15:27And I thought you, of all people, would understand.
15:31I don't understand anything you do.
15:33Clearly not.
15:34Cos you won't be giving up on yours so easily.
15:36Don't you dare.
15:39Look, what Joel did was stupid.
15:41But, yeah, it could have been a lot worse.
15:44Leela, he's still alive.
15:48He's lied to me for weeks.
15:51I'm his wife and he'd still rather talk to you.
15:57Don't blame him, though.
16:00All this time, he's been struggling and I don't even have a clue.
16:05I mean, what does that say about our marriage?
16:08That you're both grieving.
16:10Look, I...
16:12I know what it's like to lose a baby.
16:15That feeling of injustice,
16:18like everyone gets to go home with their baby but you don't.
16:21Just stop.
16:22But you cannot just roll over.
16:24That's not what I'm doing.
16:25That is what it looks like.
16:29Come on.
16:30If you really love Joel...
16:35..fight for him, yeah?
16:37Fight for him, yeah?
16:51Mm.
16:52Oh, Marie?
16:54How's your Joel?
16:55He's all right.
16:57He's all right. It was just a little mix-up with the insulin, that's all.
17:01Oh, was it?
17:03What's the visiting times?
17:06Er...
17:07Do you know what? I wouldn't bother.
17:09He'll be home soon, won't he?
17:10No-one likes hospitals anyway, do they?
17:13Coffee's grim.
17:14Mm.
17:17It's not the coffee that's gross, it's the smell.
17:19The smell's rank.
17:20Well, let's hope none of us end up back in one.
17:22Cheers.
17:24Erm, what did you want to say to me?
17:26Just, erm...
17:28..hurry up and sign the divorce papers, will you?
17:31Unlike you, I'd like to move on.
17:34Ah, the Wanderer returns.
17:37Hiya.
17:40Mum, do you mind just giving us a minute, please?
17:45Talk some sense into him, will you?
17:48A bit of bed rest is what he needs.
17:55Is Mercedes still alive?
17:57There could be an ambulance.
17:59I don't know.
18:00Is Mercedes still alive?
18:02There could be a nuclear war and the McQueens would still survive.
18:07You really shouldn't be discharging yourself.
18:09Yeah, but there's no point in wasting a bit, is there?
18:12I mean, the drugs are almost out my system.
18:15I've had my mental health assessment.
18:17Although...
18:19..I don't really know if I've got a home to go back to.
18:21It's the way you left.
18:23You had every right.
18:26Look, I shouldn't have given my dad that alibi.
18:29Right, but I wouldn't have done it
18:31unless I truly believed he was innocent.
18:32Yeah, you didn't want to lose him.
18:35I'm scared of losing you too.
18:39Listen, I'm going to.
18:41Joel, you really need to go into a drug programme
18:44and get clean properly.
18:46Anything.
18:48All of you.
18:52I don't know what I'd do without you.
18:53Same, sorry.
18:55Joel Dexter.
18:57Yeah?
18:58We've been looking into your recent statement.
19:01You claim that you were with your father
19:03during the two-hour window he wasn't accounted for.
19:06That's right.
19:07Except CCTV from Pricelight shows you were there,
19:11alone, for 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.
19:21You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
19:23if you do not mention one question,
19:25something which you later rely on in court.
19:27Joel.
19:31I'll be fine.
19:45Afternoon.
19:47Oh.
19:48Hi.
19:50You all right?
19:51Yeah.
19:52Thanks for the text.
19:53Sorry that I had to drag you to the park.
19:55It'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? Yeah.
20:03Yeah? Excellent.
20:04Listen, about...
20:06No, you go first. Sorry.
20:08Um, no pressure 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?
20:19Yeah, I am.
20:21Or if you'd rather not, then...
20:23OK.
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.
20:34So...
20:35OK.
20:37Bye.
20:42Did you hear that, girls?
20:43I just got myself a...
20:46Girls?
20:49Girls?
20:51Girls!
20:56SHE SIGHS
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,
21:25then let him.
21:26Really?
21:38Should we get another bottle?
21:39I think you've had enough.
21:41There you go.
21:42Oh, he had to go on a job.
21:44That's it.
21:45All right, love.
21:46Dad, I need you to help me, OK?
21:48Please calm down.
21:49OK, someone just took the babies, OK?
21:51I would literally turn around for, like, one second
21:53and they were just... they were just gone.
21:55What do you mean, gone?
21:58Just...
22:00My babies.
22:02Oh, my God, they've been kidnapped.
