Plot[]
Jim, Liz, Steve and Becky meet in the Rovers' back room. Steve tells Jim that the money has to be ready for 1.30pm. The factory workers are grumbling. Maria tells them that Frank has already extended the deadline and they have to meet it. Kevin tells Jim that he won't be an investor in the pub or lend him any money. Jim meets with an old cellmate called Spoony, who hands Jim a conspicuous bag. Audrey walks in on Gail and Nick arguing about the money Gail used to bribe Kylie with. Jim's intentions are clear as he heads into a building society with his face concealed and a sawn-off shotgun in his hand. Faye is hurt when she catches the end of an argument between Eddie and Anna. Jim enters the building society and demands £120,000 off the cashier. Roy regrets not attending his stepfather's funeral. Graeme feels guilty about spending time with Xin the morning after spending the night with Tina. Steve signs his part of the pub documents but grows frantic when Jim hasn't arrived. Frank is livid when he arrives to find that his order remains incomplete. He demands a 10% penalty to which Maria agrees. Carla returns and takes hold of the situation. Maria is left angry and frustrated. Faye lies to Gary and tells him that Eddie hit Anna. Roy is shocked to see his mother Sylvia in the cafe. Audrey is shocked by Gail and Nick's behaviour. David overhears the end of their conversation. Becky tells Max that they are going on holiday. The police surround the building society and it's clear that Jim has crossed the point of no return.
