Plot
With Maria out of the way, Tony resumes his revenge plan and splashes petrol around the factory. When screams of fear are heard from down the Street, though, alarm bells begin ringing in the locals' minds.

Maria alerts Roy to events at the factory. He races over to the doors and pleads with Tony to release Hayley, offering himself in exchange, but Tony wants him to lose the one he loves most as he blames Roy for causing him to lose Maria. Carla promises to stay with Tony if he lets Hayley go. He does.

Gary, Becky, Steve, Tyrone and Ashley attempt to break into the factory as a manic Tony sparks his lighter. The police push the men back from the scene, insisting that a hostage team is on the way. However, as flames begin to engulf the building, it quickly becomes clear there's no time.

Inside the factory, an almighty struggle ensues as Carla fights for her life. She manages to get hold of Tony's gun and shoot him, but Tony is relentless and struggles with her in an attempt to prevent her from escaping. Outside, onlookers fear the worst as they hear the gunshot. As the hostage team break in, Carla runs out. Tony doesn't follow. The residents are shocked as Underworld explodes.
