Mike goes downstairs to call 999, then goes into the kitchen to drink from the tap, when he senses someone behind him and turns around to see Oscar standing there. Christine comes upstairs to comfort a bloodied, finger-less Sebastian who slowly loses consciousness in her arms, while she hysterically screams for Mike to do something. Asad, Teddy, Charman, and Beth flee from the house, while Mike grapples with Rian, before finally beating him down with the candlestick and then his fists. Arming himself with a candlestick, he attempts to sneak upstairs, but his presence is alerted by Charman who was exiting the bathroom.

He goes into the next room to find a traumatised Christine tied up and naked underneath a blanket. Hearing his son's screams, Mike desperately struggles to free himself, and is able to knock a knife off the dinner table so that he can cut his wrists free. Sebastian returns home and is dragged upstairs to his room by the teenagers, who begin to torture and beat him. Oscar gets sent into the kitchen, while Teddy returns with Mike's money for Rian to send to his cousin. Rian's school friends, Beth ( Jennie Jacques) and Charman (Corinne Douglas), and Beth's younger brother Oscar, then arrive with an axe for Rian to use on Sebastian. Asad allows Mike to have a drink and explains that he is not as violent as Rian, and tells Mike details about his life. Rian suddenly drags Christine into another room to presumably rape her, leaving Asad to guard a frustrated Mike. Knowing Sebastian will be returning at 9pm, the group waits for his return so that they can get revenge on him for grassing on Rian's cousin and getting him sent to prison Teddy leaves with Mike's credit cards to find a cash machine.

When the doorbell rings and Christine goes to answer it, the couple is attacked by Rian (Jumayn Hunter), Asad ( Ashley Chin), and Teddy (Sonny Muslim), who hold them both hostage and tie them up in their front room. In a house at Cherry Tree Lane, distant couple Christine ( Rachael Blake) and Mike ( Tom Butcher) are eating dinner while their son, Sebastian, is out at football practice.
