Bogdan and Ron (who is posing as London gangster “Vic Vincent”) meet Connie at her house. Ron claims he needs someone to meet with Andrade to exchange diamonds for cash. He tells Connie that a man called Martin Lomax is looking for a new drug supplier and will also be at the meeting. Martin will buy £50,000 worth of cocaine from Connie.
Certain she recognizes “Vic,” Connie becomes suspicious and threatens him with a gun. Bogdan explains that Vic is the client who recently bought £10,000 of cocaine from her. Reassured, Connie agrees to the deal. Ron asks Connie to use Ryan as a “trusted” driver, giving her his address in Scotland.
The next day, Joyce and Elizabeth greet Andrade when he arrives at Farnborough airport. They tell him they know where his diamonds are, and he will get them once they have met with Martin.
In Fairhaven, Donna and Chris watch as everyone arrives. Martin, Andrade, Lance, Bogdan, and Connie go to the office at the end of the pier. Connie’s driver, Ryan, waits in the car. Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Joyce join Sue inside an MI5 van to listen in.
