Previously on Nightclub Confidential...

It's a packed house. Great music.

This is why we got into this business.

I don't think we'll ever see a club like this ever.

-You be good. -Hopefully I make it home.

Hey, hey, hey!

Tequila is not the same place anymore.

Where's Mitch? He's two hours late for his shift.

Get the fuck out.

Apparently he says he's gonna come to my gym and deal with me.

Mitch, Mitch!

Guys, when you're kicking someone out, be smart about it.

Mitch's bad behaviour is costing us business.

That's not how we do anything here.

I've had enough.

Having a boyfriend who is a bouncer

that works in a nightclub can be very challenging.

It's full of temptations.

Do I ever lie to you?

The circumstances I put her through

would be unacceptable in most relationships.

-I'm really drunk. -Why are you drunk?

Because it kills the pain.

When Simon wasn't burnt out, he was really good for the club.

He's the face of Tequila. He's the front man.

He brings the party to the club.

This is gonna be trouble.

With all the stress in the nightclub,

when I've been drinking, my temper can get to me.

Everybody, get the out of here, man.

Get everybody the out.

Yo, we want one last dance song, bro.

No, get the out.

Just not enough in the account.

Financially, it's scary. You could just lose everything.

It's like going to the bank, withdrawing 15,000 dollars,

putting it on your front lawn, then lighting it on fire.

I think the club is consuming us,

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

Okay, everyone's here.

It's time to close Tequila's doors.

There will be no more Tequila.

Last night of Tequila. I gotta kill it.

Last year we shut down Tequila for good.

Well this has caused a lot of stress, and I'm happy to let go.

We threw an epic party and called it the end of an era.

Then the deal to sell the place fell through.

This club is my passion.

After a good, long rest period, I was ready to re-open the club.

Only this time, I would do it on my own.

This place is a fucking mess.

We need a lot of work,

and we gotta get this place cleaned up and operational and kick the dust off.

Just hire good people.

People that are gonna show up and have fun with me,

and, yeah, enjoy this ride with me this time around.

Let's do this.

Now that I'm operating the club alone,

I wanna show the staff that we appreciate them.

That's why tonight I organized a little bowling night,

so we can all go out together and have a little fun.

Yeah!

I wanted to have tonight to just have fun and enjoy ourselves

and get to know each other.

We've worked so well together.

I haven't let anybody go or fired anybody in four months.

I want you to have fun tonight, and let's give 'er.

Chunk and I have different approaches to dealing with the staff.

My approach is a little more friendlier.

Whereas Chunk, he's a little hard nosed.

So I'm gonna tell you one think, you're fired.

Get the fuck out of my bar.

Bottles come to me. They don't go to a porter, ever.

Have you served these guys their drinks?

Get on it, get on it.

Hi, buddy.

Group hug.

Simon's always been the front man of Tequila.

He's the child in the room that makes people have a great time.

If they don't feel good, they're gonna leave right away.

You need that front man.

How you doing?

A lot of the staff that always, you know, I'd be the shoulder to cry on.

Staff would come to me for absolutely anything.

Some fucking guy came out to me that I really like.

He grabbed my hand and he goes...

I'm so glad that I never start anything to do to be a fucking whore.

Now that Simon's managing the club,

there's a fine line into befriending your staff,

and hanging out with them and sleeping with them,

and all that other stuff.

He's gotta really keep their respect,

otherwise things are gonna blow up in his face.

Oh, gotta catch up.

I wanted to be done everything by 4:30, but there's no way.

Tonight's our big New Year's Eve celebration,

and as per usual I'm running around like a crazy

trying to get things done last minute.

I got so much to do.

Jesus, you gotta mop this, guys.

Now being on my own, I really have everything on my plate.

Oh, great. The guys doing the food bailed.

How can you bail on me at 4:00 on New Year's Eve?

It's really important for me to show Chunk

that I can handle running the bar and operating it alone.

I definitely don't wanna piss him off.

I can't find zip ties. Have you seen any?

This is gonna be fun.

Although Chunk isn't operating the club with me day to day,

he still has a vested interest.

We all know how controlling he is,

so it'll be very stressful on all of us.

172 balloons,

and you spend more money on party favors and balloons?

But they're not helium, like I...

In the past we've blown up a thousand balloons for New Year's.

My retirement from the club is for real.

My retirement in general was for real.

But I'm a landlord at Tequila.

You know, I still have a part of the business,

so I like to poke my head in and see what's going on.

I think it's a better idea to have, like, a special glass.

If I don't convince Chunk that I can operate alone,

I know I'm gonna hear it till the end of time.

Jack Daniels, we're out. Lemon gin, we have one.

And Jagermeister, we're out.

I brought in a new manager, Layna,

and I really expect her to help me out with the staff around the bar.

There's not much difference working for Simon and Chunk.

You know, they're both disorganized.

They're both stressing me out.

They both, like, run late.

What do you wanna do for positions?

Who's coming in first?

Timmy's probably not in till 9:30.

That's why we're gonna need to shuffle people regardless.

Tonight's kinda their first big night since they reopened.

Like this is kinda their first night that's actually a big party night.

You got a fan out too here, hey?

I've done 15 New Year's,

so I'm trying to give him advice on things,

and just kind of passing the baton.

Hopefully they have a good night,

and I'm heading home to watch the hockey game.

Two balloon, you never told me two balloon drops.

Fuck my life.

Now being on my own, I really have everything my plate.

You gotta mop this, guys.

I definitely feel a lot of pressure from Chunk.

Well in the past we've blown up a thousand balloons for New Year's

I definitely don't wanna piss him off.

I'm gonna tell you one thing, you're fired.

Get the fuck out of my bar.

Two balloon, you never told me two balloon drops.

Fuck my life.

Cheers!

Tonight is New Year's Eve.

It's the biggest night of the year,

and it's the first real test for my staff and myself.

You guys, if you're VIPs, Happy New Year's,

VIPs are just over in the back corner.

Oh, my God, grab those hot girls.

Girls, you gotta come do a round of shots.

Cheers, girls, Happy New Year.

The party's happening.

Yeah.

You're good, you can keep your job.

You brought all three of them back safely.

With Mitch being gone,

I really need my doorman Carter to step in and fill the head doorman role.

Yo, you're in there running your mouth off.

We can't have that.

I'm not here to fight nobody.

My name's Carter Nolin, I'm 21 years old,

and I'm the new head bouncer at Tequila Nightclub.

During the day I work at Kindersley Transport,

and I'm the afternoon supervisor.

Donny, that one's going out.

Compared to Tequila's, this is a lot less stressful.

We're gonna get you a cab, we'll get you home safe.

I like to be nice to people. Get them out in a nice manner.

Okay, jump in.

Hopefully get them coming back.

Here, here's 20 bucks. Riviera.

Whoa, don't fall over.

Carter has a softer approach to being a doorman,

and that really fits into my new ideas here at Tequila.

You're sure you don't need a cab?

Yep, we need a cab.

Last time, I fucking left my coat here.

-Here, I'll put it in the office. -You better throw me under that shit

because no one told me nothing.

The night's going pretty smooth,

and then there's a guy all flustered after losing his coat check tag.

Last time I was here, the guy with the Wolverine beard.

No, no, no.

I know who that, I know who that is.

That's Mitch.

Last year with Mitch as my head doorman,

there were definitely more physical incidents

than I would have liked.

You wanna get out, too?

Mitch, with his aggression, I think affected business,

'cause some people that had that altercation

wouldn't come back to the club.

Listen, you guys are known in town for the biggest bullies.

Buddy looks like Wolverine?

I'm going outside.

All right, Tequila Nightclub!

2015 is about to happen.

I love you all, I'm so happy we all celebrated together.

God bless you. Here we go.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Happy 2015!

I always call my mama on New Year's right at midnight,

so, it's my tradition.

The only woman I truly love.

Happy New Year, Mama.

I miss you. I love you.

I love you.

Okay, bye.

Okay, let's get back at it. Time to work.

I would love if you could take about four more beer up to the DJ.

What do you want? Red, that? Whatever you want.

The balance is the tough thing though,

like, you can't get out of control.

I can't be the old Simon of having too much fun.

You know, now I gotta, not only run and host,

but I gotta worry about floats,

I gotta worry about, you know, if my staff needs something.

Still some leg work, even if it's not extremely busy.

You know, the night was going great,

and all of a sudden I noticed that the DJs were playing a lot

of really dark, deep hip hop.

DJs started playing this heavy hip hop

and it seemed to be clearing the room pretty quickly.

Like, when the DJs get off script,

people kinda get fuck off and start leaving.

And next thing you know, a fight breaks out.

Guys, guys!

Get out, get out.

And this is disastrous.

And of course that happens to be the time that Chunk walks in.

I arrive and the music's very dark.

And I see people are leaving,

and they still got a lot of party left in them.

They're leaving because the music isn't good.

No, man I've... At the end of the night

he's picking up glasses...

Hey, change the music.

I don't want any heavy like this.

One thing about any gangster or really hard music,

it does get people angry.

That's when problems happen.

2015 is about to happen.

I definitely feel a lot of pressure from Chunk tonight.

-Guys, guys. -Careful, be careful.

Buddy, I need some dance music.

Of course, that happens to be the time that Chunk walks in.

Tonight's New Year's Eve party started out great,

but now it's taken kind of a stressful turn.

Some guy has spilled beer on the DJ and I didn't see it.

Tried to get him off the stage.

The guy's half my size,

starts telling me, you don't know who I am,

you've messed with the wrong people.

But I'm in the same club every night. They can come find me.

The whole room is starting to empty out.

The DJs aren't listening to me.

It was really starting to piss me off.

-You bad timed it. -I gave him...

Of course, Chunk shows up, and is really critical.

That's not a good first impression I just think, you know.

The vibe when I walked in just wasn't good at all.

It's just gangster.

I'm just watching this good people

that are leaving that still have party left with them

But they were leaving because they just not having a good time anymore.

You have, you have two options.

Are you gay?

We have another drunk that lost his coat check ticket.

Why you guys, why you guys pulling all this?

Why, why you getting in my way?

We got another guy who shows up. I think he's a friend of his.

Hey! Hey!

Enough, hey, enough, hey.

No. We don't do that here.

Here, grab your jacket. We don't do that here.

You all right?

-All the way up. -All right, come on.

He won't listen to me, trying to get him into a cab.

He's fucking done.

You all right? Here, give me your hand.

Get up.

When guys won't listen to you, you can only put so much time into it

before you have to end it.

Once you go past the building I can't do anything about you, buddy.

I do see how the physical part that Mitch does

helps out in a night.

The only thing I'm trying to do is get you a ride home.

There was a few issues tonight that the physical part

would've ended things a lot quicker.

Let's get this off right now.

I'm pretty sure if Chunk was going up there

and asking the DJs to change the music,

he wouldn't have to go up there twice.

Let's play some dance music.

It's really important now for Simon now to act as a manager.

It's my money,

so there's mistakes that can happen that can cost me a lot of money.

The front doors are closed. You know that, right?

-What? -Yeah, you already know that. Yeah?

Where're my doormen?

On top of it all, which Chunk had warned me,

my beer cooler dies.

So my kegs, my beers,

and all of my shooters are stored in there.

I'm just worried, 'cause if that other fan

goes then I'm hooped, eh?

If we don't get this thing going, we're pretty much screwed.

And now I see my staff goofing off.

Throwing each other in the snow, drinking way too much,

and acting like kids.

This is so unfair!

I want everybody to be here, ready for work.

I'm getting really fricking annoyed,

and I'm gonna let some people go tonight.

Guys, we're gonna do something. Let's move!

Let's go. It's 4 AM. We wanna go home.

Everybody, what the fuck?

Let's get some rides home, let's rock and roll.

So it's the very end of the night.

There's only a couple of us left,

and one of my friends who was out partying at another bar decided to stop by.

You have to go.

We're having fun, goofing around, full of energy.

Just wrestling around, and he's a little too drunk,

and I'm trying to keep a distance.

We thought it was a joke and we didn't seriously pay attention.

Aggressive...

You're taking him to the hospital this time.

We know a drunk person, but then to just shut down,

that was scary.

Obviously I'm worried.

I'm thinking I don't know if he's had too much to drink,

or if he's been drugged.

It's just like he's, like, not functional at all.

To the hospital again?

City's hospital's the best way to go.

It was a lot more serious than we expected.

Then, the seriousness of drinking and over drinking,

and the fact that we ended up taking him to the hospital.

You're okay, you're okay.

All right, so he's loaded up.

We're gonna take him to the hospital,

everything's gonna be okay.

It's more of a safety concern. We just wanna make sure.

It's better to be safe than sorry, so, that's our night.
