She hears Ian tell Cindy they can go to his parents' flat as they are going on holiday. Miss Martin tells Den he has got the money for Sharon that he wanted. Den asks why he is being asked more questions by the police, feeling as though he is being set-up by The Firm. Colin tries to invite Guido back to his flat, but Guido passes on the occasion.
