Tonight on Nightclub Confidential...

Business is an all-time low.

Why is it so slow?

And the staff have gotten so lazy.

-I'd like to bring back the dream team. -Dream team?

This is my new gig.

-Something kinda whitish. -Light and bright, yeah.

To have a significant other working the bar, I don't want it.

And that's when Chunk blindsides me.

-What? -Holy frick, you're killing me.

Yeah, last year, I had a few serious concerns.

The alcohol is the factor.

Is it worth to me sacrificing my health to go back to that lifestyle?

I don't know.

It's Friday night and everybody's getting ready to party.

All around town, businesses are starting to line up.

Business is booming.

Everywhere that is...

...except Tequila.

My manager, Blair, just quit on me.

He's failed to generate any new business, and he's left the place a mess.

Business is in a 15-year low and bills are at an all-time high.

Why is it so slow?

The staff have gotten so... lazy.

-Oh, it'll be busy tonight. -Okay.

Wanna check your coat, please?

And you wanna make sure you look like you're here to work.

With Blair gone and Simon retired,

it's completely on my shoulders to turn this place around.

-Have you served these guys their drinks? -No, I'm not...

Get on it. Get on it.

You can't leave the door unless someone else is here.

There has to be a person here every night we're open.

You can keep that door locked. Staff want in there, they can ask you.

It's hard with one person, right?

Especially because Chunk's always had Simon.

Club life is a tough life.

It's kinda died down a little bit since he hasn't been here.

So it's hard I think for just Chunk.

What the... man?

I think he's doing good in the sense that he's trying really hard.

Where does this bottle go?

I'll take care of it. Bottles come to me.

They don't go to a porter ever.

What's up?

When businesses slow down, staff moral drops as well.

They don't wanna show up for work, and there's just more for me to deal with.

Good, you're here.

Okay, you're bartending.

These days, we're trying to get the staff excited about bringing in new business.

Even Mitch is busy promoting on his phone.

There'll be some people here.

There are seven people on the dance floor.

I'm working on it. I'm working on it.

As a doorman, it's not in my job description...

...to do the social marketing.

Creating a Facebook status and I'm tagging the whole staff.

Bit it's kinda slow right now. We don't even have a manager.

Just do a little bit of social marketing.

I'm trying to help Chunk out in any way I can,

but I got a lot on my own plate.

Besides working at the club, I'm running my own gym,

and things are busier than ever.

Two jobs, 80-hour work week. And...

Do I ever... lie to you?

Gina thinks that my job here is degrading my other areas of life.

She won't wake up. I'm worried. I don't know what to do.

Not my problem.

Yo, wake up!

Oh, watch your head. Oh, watch your head!

Honestly, carrying her out...

...was like carrying out a 300-pound bowl of Jell-O.

Tonight's just a shit night.

At the end of the day,

I can either manage the staff or manage the business.

It's too much work to do both.

I need help soon to manage this club.

If I don't find someone right away, I'm gonna have to close the doors.

Since leaving the club six months ago, my routine has changed a lot.

My name is Simon.

This one's coming home with me.

I used to be the owner and manager of Tequila Nightclub,

but six months ago, I left for health reasons.

Definitely not party rock hair. It's Monday morning office hair.

I still put on a suit for work,

but I'm not used to doing it this early in the morning.

Usually at about this time,

I'd be just getting into a really good sleep.

This is the new life outside of the club.

I kinda know what to expect out of my days now,

and, yeah, it's definitely different and quiet.

-Morning. -Morning.

-Morning, buddy. -Hey, man.

This is... This is my new gig.

I'm a sales rep at GT Flooring here in Saskatoon.

The owner's a good friend of mine, and it seemed like a healthy change.

I'm really excited 'cause I'm, you know,

getting back into my tool belt of my two degrees...

...and getting into a little more brain work.

Finish the schedule, can you upload it quickly?

It's taken a while, but I enjoy it.

I never was a big coffee drinker up until I got into the old day work again.

Now I remember why I loved coffee so much.

Now I remember.

Hey, Mohart, did we end up getting that LVP stuff...

...down from the top rack there?

Did the boys bring it down?

No, they haven't done it yet. I asked them to do it this morning, buddy.

Okay.

I'm tired.

I don't think there's enough coffee in this city for today.

I talked to Jordan.

She said everything went well and they're just grouting it this morning.

They got the grout?

Andrea works in the office next to me and she's a real expert in flooring,

and she's taught me a lot.

I work with builders. I do a lot of renovations.

Sometimes I'm out taking measurements. Sometimes I'm making quotes.

-Well, you sound a lot better today. -Yeah.

I just needed rest.

Perfect.

Let's call Mitch.

He needs some flooring for the front of the gym.

-Hey, what's going on? -How are you, Mitch?

I'm doing pretty good. Just at the club here with Chunk and JRock.

Nice.

So you need flooring in the front room there?

Yeah, I gotta give that front room a facelift.

Yeah, we could throw some LVT there.

Sounds like a plan, Stan. I'm ready for you.

All right, Mitch, take care.

You know, all the boys are together and not being there is...

...you know, kinda different.

I'd rather be spending family time on a Saturday,

but my accountant's away and I gotta do her job too.

So today, I bring my wife, Nathalie, and my boys to the club.

I'm gonna work in the other office. You guys watch some movies, okay?

With Blair gone and Simon retired,

it falls on us to come in and do the cash outs, even on weekends.

I'm here.

To come in on a Saturday to get the tills ready for tonight,

it's just a mess.

-Did you take my pen? -You took my pen.

I didn't touch your pen.

What the... happened to my pen?

The problem with the nightclub business is you have to deal with issues...

...that come up 24 hours a day.

Doing everything by ourselves means that...

...we have to sacrifice not just our nights to the business,

we also have to sacrifice our daytime to the business.

And you fight with me lots when we spend this much time together.

There's a difference between spending a lot of time together...

...and spending this kind of time together.

Yes.

This is the worst job in the whole world.

It wouldn't be so bad if the club was making money...

and we could actually pay ourselves a salary for being here.

First till's 36 dollars short.

Okay. This girl is super short.

Like every till is short.

This is starting to become a little overwhelming.

I think the club is consuming us.

And I think that we have very little time for our family.

And I think it's time for us to weigh out what's more important.

-I'd like to bring back the dream team. -Dream team?

We can't keep doing everything ourselves.

We're spread too thin to generate business.

Simon's had enough time off.

It's time for me to give him a call.

Why is it so slow?

Business is an all-time low.

-This is my new gig. -Perfect.

I'm trying to help Chunk out in any way I can.

Creating a Facebook status.

Gina seems to have this idea that club is degrading other areas of my life.

We're spread too thin to generate business.

Simon's had enough time off.

It's time for me to give him a call.

Chunk and Nathalie invited me over for dinner.

Hello.

Oh, ho ho! Boys, I got you some bedtime friends.

And I don't get to see them as much as I used to.

What's that? Wow, look at you.

And we'll build the nightclub next.

So I'm thinking this is a good opportunity to catch up.

How many months have you been off from the club for?

-Six months, seven months? -Yeah.

-How's things? -Not bad. House looks nice.

I got the family outta the motorhome, moved into the house now.

I don't have the time to spend in the club every single day.

The manager you hired had failed.

I didn't hire him, buddy. That was all you.

-Pretty sure you did. -Pretty sure I didn't.

Pretty sure Blair was your buddy.

So we sit down to dinner and that's when Chunk blindsides me...

-So I got you starting back on Friday? -What?

...by asking me to come back to Tequila.

I'm gonna start you back Friday.

What?

I definitely need your help.

I need another bottle of wine.

Do you wanna go call a friend or something and come back?

Can I use a lifeline?

Just when I thought I was out, Chunk's trying to reel me back in.

Holy frick, you're killing me.

It'd be nice to have you back, Simon.

I think if you're taking time out of your evening...

...to come down here and we're gonna engage in therapy,

I'm hoping that you're gonna get something out of this.

I do feel that my job here at the nightclub...

...has degraded our relationship,

and that's part of why I admitted that we could go to some counselling.

And interestingly enough, both of you guys appear...

...to be indicating that the most distress in your life...

...comes from your relationship.

But it doesn't sound like you're firing on all cylinders.

-Is that kind of correct? -Yeah.

That's definitely it, yep.

The reason Mitch and I are in counselling really comes down to the lifestyle...

...and a lot of it to do with him working in the club.

There's every little bit of temptation there.

The alcohol.

-The girls. -Oh, my God!

-The fights. -Just get outside! Go!

I do see a lot of shitty things go on there,

and I'm usually the one that's gotta get my hands dirty.

To have a significant other working the in bar,

-Oh, my God! -I don't want it.

The biggest problem I have with Mitch working in the club,

is that he's easily distracted.

If there's a drink in front of him, he's gonna drink it.

If there's an after party to go to, he's gonna go.

Okay, you're choosing to go to a party or you're choosing to go there.

There's a lot of different variables.

That's when things go out of control.

That's when Mitch is not in control.

I'm working here. I'm trying to make a living.

Are you drunk?

No, I'm... I am always in control.

Always in control. I am always...

I believe that I am in control.

He just needs to tell me.

Like when he's saying, "I'm coming home,"

that's affirming to me that you're coming home,

but you're not.

Instantly, I feel totally unloved.

-I'm doing the best I can. -I know.

It's really heavy on me how much I'm working.

But sometimes, I feel I spread myself almost too thin in the relationship area.

You know, I love him.

I really care about him, but I'm not a fool to this behaviour.

I love her, but Gina's gotta understand...

...that I'm not leaving the club any time soon.

Grown adults communicate.

I communicate lots. I'm a good talker.

I'm looking for this change,

and I really hope that Mitch is open to changing with me too.

Chunk asking me to come back has me really thinking.

It is tempting.

Tequila is a part of me.

When I get a bit of that itch about the club,

and about electro and stuff,

I'll come in here and I'll let go a little bit.

So I have a lot of the artists that I've met...

...and partied with and brought it to Tequila.

It's always nice to sit back and reflect and think about the good old days.

Do I miss it? Yeah, I do.

I miss the people and I miss the action, and I definitely miss the music.

Yeah, last year I had a few serious concerns of...

...about my health.

The alcohol was the factor.

And that was the primary thing, was my liver.

When you're drinking three or four days out of the week...

Okay, it's shooter time.

I had...

I had some issues to deal with.

As much as Chunk needs me and I miss the club,

is it worth me sacrificing my health to go back to that lifestyle?

I don't know.

-And that's when Chunk blindsides me... -What?

...by asking me to come back to Tequila.

Do you wanna go call a friend or something?

To have a significant other working in the bar, I don't want it.

Is it worth me sacrificing my health to go back to that lifestyle?

I don't know.

All right. Now let's do this dumbbell dead lifts, okay?

At my gym, my clients expect me to show an example...

...of living a healthy lifestyle.

That's tough to do when you're coming home at 4 AM...

...and drinking the night before.

Yeah, it's good.

I sod have one client that knows what it's like...

...to burn the candle at both ends.

-Pick up the pace there, Chunk. -My pants are falling down.

'Cause you're losing major weight.

-Yeah, I don't think that's happening. -Yeah.

Me and Chunk have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Chunk, he works out his legs and his thumbs at the same time.

At the club, people are usually pretentious...

...and care about the way they look, so I get to market my business to them.

-I want to get rid of my baby fat. -Yeah?

How much would you charge?

And in return, Chunk gets to workout at my gym.

Come on, there's no breaks here.

Today, coincidentally,

Simon's here to drop off flooring samples for my front office.

-Hey, how's it going? -Good. How are you, buddy?

You have some floor samples for me? Take five.

How come I never get to take five?

'Cause you got a lot further to go than they do.

Yo, first impressions are everything.

When people walk into my front room, for a long time,

I've always had to battle the fact that this carpet looks like shit.

I wanna border it with, like, about a three or four-foot border,

45 cut it.

It's a really cool look. I've got it in a magazine.

It's kinda weird seeing Simon like that.

It's kinda like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

He's totally Dr Jekyll right now.

'Cause I've seen more of Mr Hyde for the last three years.

-We do miss you. -Oh, yeah?

-Is that Chunk on the treadmill? -Yes, I am.

Ladies and gentlemen, Chunk on the treadmill.

This is getting serious, Mitch.

Of course, I don't have an answer for Chunk yet.

We miss you.

When do you get doctor's orders to come back?

I don't know.

I will say, it's nice to see all the guys in one place again.

You're looking at my Valentine's Day card? Holy shit.

Great, they found the card.

"Don't ever leave me. I am nothing without you."

"Love you 'til the end of time, or 'til the end of your life,"

"whichever comes first."

"M and G. Forever."

Sorry for wrecking your workout.

He's not sorry. Get back to work.

-Hello, Ma. -Hi, Simon.

Okay, Mama.

-Okay, thank you, bye-bye. -Okay, bye-bye.

Bye.

Hey! Look who came crawling back.

Good to see you.

I never thought I'd ever see you in here again.

Are we gonna bring back the good times?

-Yeah, let's get her back. -Yeah.

So I'm back.

Oh, this place was just a hollow shell of a club when he left.

And now that he's back, you know, the guy is the party.

Yeah a little, little bit of nervousness, but a little bit of excitement too.

I mean, I'm back, and it's kinda getting my blood flowing.

Ladies and gentlemen, Simon is back in the building.

Only this time, we need him to do things differently.

This time, I have to keep the drinking and partying in check...

...so I can strike a balance between my old life and my new one.

Let's get... drunk.

But that's not gonna be easy.

-I'm having a party. -Are you having a party?

-Is that okay? -Can I bring two sexy women over?

I'm glad all of us are back together. Now it's time to turn this place around.

Let's do it.

This is the new me.

My health has to be my top priority.

I'm still working days at GT Flooring,

plus, I'm doing three nights a week at the club.

Doctor's orders, no drinking for you.

Doctor's orders?

-No drinking and no bar tabs. -We haven't got that ordered.

No promo tabs and no drinking.

Well, at least I know he's looking out for me.

Striking a balance between these two worlds is not gonna be easy.
