Plot[]
Part One: Sarah breaks the news to the Underworld staff that the insurance company have refused to pay out the full claim and are only offering an ex-gratia sum of £20,000. She suggests they spilt the money and wind up the company, provided Nick agrees. Gary demands £200 from Ryan by next week. Emma rings her dad in hospital where he is having tests, assuring him that stomach ulcers are easily treated. Maria's on a high after her date with Ali. Gary finds a key in one of Rick's old note books. Seb returns to No.11, released from hospital. He and Eileen sympathise with how things have turned out for each other. Michael recognises Rick's key as being one from Safe as Houses Storage Solutions, a facility he's used himself before. Maria is pleased when Ali makes arrangements to meet her later. Gary overhears the factory staff discussing their predicament. Hearing from Tim that Evelyn's taking bets on the County game, Steve suggests placing one on Tommy Orpington scoring the first goal in the match with her. She tells him to return later. Alina calls at No.11, accompanied by a church support worker. Gary goes to the storage unit and finds a locked safe in amongst the other items.
Part Two: Nick wants to find another investor rather than give up on the factory. Gary tries to guess the safe key code and eventually uses the date that County were formed - 1887. He finds a huge hoard of cash in £50 notes inside the safe. Evelyn questions James and finds out that Tommy has just been declared unfit. Emma's dad is kept in hospital for longer than expected. Jenny is reluctant to cash in one of Gary's £50 notes. From the bar, he listens in again as the factory staff discuss their limited options. Jo Lafoe calls into the cafe, looking for Carla. Emma returns from the hospital in tears as her father has stomach cancer. Evelyn takes Steve's bet of £30 at 25-1. Gary turns up with Derek Milligan, introducing him to Nick as an investor who is interested in buying into the factory.
