David shows Eddie round the farm, and Joe tags along. The presence of Joe doesn't do anything to reassure David that the farm will be in safe hands next week when the Grundys are in charge. Ruth drags David off to pack - she's sure they'll be fine.

Lilian worries that Matt has taken to driving at speed again, but he denies it. She is sure he is hiding something from her. When she presses him to tell her what on earth it is, he finally admits that he has lied to the Serious Fraud Office - by not telling them about a substantial amount of money he has hidden in an offshore account.

Lilian is deeply angry. She tells him just how stupid he has been, but there is worse to come. Matt can remember boasting to Chalkman about the account. If Chalkie remembers, he could be waiting to bring it up in court. Bleak Lilian says she didn't think it could get any worse. They could be looking at Matt spending years in prison. Matt tells her that's why he's so scared. He's not going to get through it without her.
