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
01:30I can't believe you did that to me.
01:32You don't deserve it, James.
01:34I know I am.
01:36But I can't do anything about it.
01:38What's happened to you?
01:40I can't breathe.
01:42God knows what's happened to me.
01:44Stop drinking.
01:45You're not going to get any better.
01:47You've had enough.
01:49I want to get you out of here.
01:51Feel my pain.
01:53Don't!
01:55I don't want to have this in again.
01:57That's an overdose.
01:59I didn't know it did hit him hard, didn't it?
02:00Oh 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.
02:13He hasn't woken up.
02:14He will.
02:15You can feel it.
02:18Come on.
02:26I'm sorry.
02:30I'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.
02:47Now, something is going on.
02:49I know it is.
02:52Do you still love me?
02:55You do.
02:56Do you still love me?
02:59You do, don't you?
03:04I need to get to work.
03:12So if Joel's 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 am off to work.
03:26Is that a love bite?
03:27What, 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 you've set him up,
03:51he's gonna destroy them.
03:53Listen, forget about all that.
03:56We 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.
04:07The doctor says you're fine to come home.
04:09No, 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?
04:18Joel, did you do the drugs because we had a fight?
04:21No.
04:24No, I...
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, they'd just come straight back again.
04:47This is the only thing that would help.
04:49What?
04:51This wasn't a one-off.
04:53Lela, now's not the time.
04:54No, no, no. Have you been doing drugs since Noah's funeral?
04:58Yeah.
05:02Joel, did you do them in the house?
05:04Joel!
05:06Daniel was never there.
05:07Oh.
05:09Lela, where are you going?
05:11You can stay, but I am done.
05:14Is he clear on the plan?
05:15Crystal.
05:17We go straight for the jugular show, Warren.
05:19The prison's not the worst option.
05:21And he realises that'll make it easier for everyone.
05:24Especially Mercedes.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Speaking of which, I've got to get to the lot,
05:29but help us celebrate Warren's release.
05:32Whatever you say, boss.
05:34Just, um...
05:36I've got to get to the lot.
05:38I've got to get to the lot.
05:40I've got to get to the lot.
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.
06:06He never tried keeping anything from her.
06:08Anyway, what does it matter?
06:09I thought you and him were supposed to be done.
06:12We are.
06:14Yeah, well, I never thought you two were a natural match.
06:18He's a little...
06:19Rough?
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.
06:36No.
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 Steve.
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.
07:05And if I could have one more moment with them,
07:07no matter how painful,
07:08I would take it.
07:10And I think Steve would, too.

08:36Why didn't you talk to me, Joel?
08:38And say what?
08:41Lila, you've been through the same, but worse.
08:44They won't put you through anymore.
08:46But you have.
08:48I mean, how...
08:50How did I not know that you were back on the drugs?
08:54I mean, why didn't you even show up in your medical for work?
08:57Mercedes, yeah, I'm...
09:00I'm sorry.
09:02I'm sorry.
09:03She, um...
09:05She helped me fit the urine test.
09:09Mercedes?
09:11Of course she did.
09:14You know that's not going to work, don't you?
09:26That could have been us.
09:29Proper little family.
09:30Still is.
09:32Still 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.
09:42I thought I had no choice.
09:45It was Mercedes, but she...
09:48She threatened to tell you about the drugs.
09:50And then she was only doing it
09:51because she had to help my dad somehow.
09:54Right.
09:55So she was frightening you.
09:57That's it.
09:58Where are you going?
09:59To kill her.
10:01Right.
10:07What are you doing?
10:09I knocked your bag over.
10:11Oh, my.
10:13What?
10:14I didn't realise love bites were 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.
10:24So, you and Vicky finally got it on.
10:27I knew locking you in the office would work.
10:29Yeah, but it shouldn't have happened.
10:30I don't have a boss.
10:31Well, not anymore.
10:33Oh, come on.
10:34Just admit that you like her.
10:36I mean, she's smart.
10:38She's gorgeous.
10:39She's hilarious.
10:40She doesn't play mind games like you or Sienna.
10:44Besides,
10:46it was a one-off.
10:48So, what?
10:49You're just going to sleep with her and then ghost her?
10:52No.
10:55Maybe.
10:57Look, she doesn't want anything serious anyway.
10:58Did you ask her?
11:00No.
11:01I didn't.
11:02It's not like she's short of admirers.
11:03And yet, for some unknown reason to the rest of mankind,
11:06she shows you.
11:07So, stop being a big wet fish and guessing what she wants
11:10and phone her.
11:15I'll tell you what,
11:16I love my girls to bits,
11:17but this is bliss.
11:21Miss Pitt is seriously a bad photographer.
11:23Because of you, I can make anyone look good.
11:26Bye.
11:27What was that for?
11:28You manipulative little bitch.
11:30Joel isn't here because of you.
11:31Come on, break it up.
11:32Why 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.
11:42And I put my family first.
11:44And what about my family?
11:46Hey,
11:47you know I have already lost
11:49a son.
11:51And now I'm going to lose Joel too.
11:58I'm sorry.

13:53I'm sorry.
13:55I'm sorry.
13:56I'm sorry.
14:02I take it you and Dylan had a nice time then?
14:04It was alright.
14:05Well I know you didn't get Lang all over from the sun.
14:07Eww.
14:08Gross.
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.
14:21Surprised with the bright lights of Blackpool then?
14:23Yeah. Although I'm not sure it survived him.
14:27Er, it's the other thing, you're busy, but I was just wondering if...
14:34Sorry.
14:36Yes, this is James Nightingale.
14:39An MRI scan?
14:44This afternoon?
14:54Nice slap.
14:56Plenty more where that came from.
14:58Hey, I'm not starting anything about a champagne, it wouldn't be a fair fight.
15:02Do you want some of it?
15:04I'm sorry about John.
15:08But you're not sorry for what you did.
15:12You know, no matter how low you stoop, things always seem to work out for you, don't they?
15:17Yeah. Yeah, cos I make sure that they do.
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. Cos you won't be giving up on yours so easily.
15:36Don't you dare.
15:39Look, what y'all did was stupid.
15:42But yeah, it could have been a lot worse. Leela, he's still alive.
15:47He's lied to me for weeks.
15:50I'm his wife and he'd still rather talk to you.
15:56Don't blame him, though.
15:59All this time he's been struggling and I don't even have a clue.
16:04I mean, what does that say about our marriage?
16:07That you're both grieving.
16:11Look, I...
16:13I know what it's like to lose a baby.
16:16That 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?
16:52Oh, Marie?
16:54How's your Joel?
16:56He's all right. He's all right.
16:58It 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?
17:11No-one likes hospitals anyway, do they?
17:13Coffee's grim.
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.
17:24What 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.
17:39Mum, 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?
17:58I 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 bed, 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.
18:22It's the way you left.
18:24You 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.
18:33Yeah, 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 cleaned properly.
18:46Anything.
18:48All of you.
18:52I don't know what I'd do without you.
18:54I'm sorry.
18:56Joel Dexter.
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.
19:05That's right.
19:07Except CCTV from Pricelight shows you were there alone
19:11for at least 20 minutes.
19:13Enough time for your father to kill Norma.
19:17I'm placing you under arrest for perverting the course of justice.
19:20You 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. Hi.
19:49You all right?
19:51Yeah. Thanks for the text.
19:53Sorry that I had to drag you to the park.
19:55It's just that my dad's volunteered me to watch Mercedes Twins.
19:58Oh, yeah, well, you know, happy to oblige.
20:00Oh, my gosh! Are you OK? Yeah.
20:02You all right? Yep. Yeah? Excellent.
20:04Listen, about...
20:06No, you go first. Sorry.
20:08Um...
20:10No pressure or anything.
20:12Do you want a...
20:14Do you want a cup of coffee or something?
20:16Are you asking me on a date?
20:19Yeah, I am.
20:21If you'd rather not, then...
20:23OK.
20:25Yeah, I'll go on a date with you.
20:27Great. OK, I'll, um...
20:29I'll send you a text.
20:31Yeah, I expect a message, so...
20:33Yes, I'll message you.
20:35OK.
20:37Bye.
20:42Did you hear that, girls?
20:44I just got myself a...
20:47Girls?
20:50Girls?
20:52Girls?
21:08It's one of 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.
21:27Really?
21:38Should I get another bottle?
21:40I think you've had enough.
21:42There you go.
21:44Oh, he had to go on a job.
21:46All right, love.
21:48Dad, I need you to help me, OK?
21:50Someone 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.
22:17Are you sure this is the best way?
22:19Oil's going to find out that freedom's not what it's cracked up to be.
22:23It's just hope for the twins' sake.
