Caleb reluctantly complies with John’s demands, still fearful over the scheming villain’s insurance policy – the scheduled email he has lined up exposing the truth about Anthony’s death.
With the plan now on again, Caleb tries to get John to Rotterdam on a ferry. Unfortunately, things go wrong when border police choose to stop Caleb’s vehicle for a random search.
While lurking in the back, can John quickly come up with a plan? Or will he be spotted and finally face arrest?

Dylan desperately tries to stand up to Ray, making it clear that he won’t do any criminal jobs on the dealer’s behalf while he’s working at Caleb’s depot. We’re sure that resolution will last for all of five minutes.
