Pauline, Mark and Ruth attend a court hearing regarding Arthur's release. Their solicitor says that Mr Roper has confessed and the money has been found. A short time later they all meet Arthur outside the prison when he is released. Arthur seems confused about his release. He has a bad cut on his head which he says was caused by some bother in the prison but that he is fine.
