Part 2, Chapters 40-50 Summary

At MI5’s offices in Godalming, Lance surfs property pages on the internet. Stuck in an unaffordable apartment since his girlfriend left, he fantasizes about what £20 million would buy. Returning to his emails, Lance sees an alert for a flight passenger named Andre Richardson. Lance informs Sue that Frank Andrade Jr. is booked on a flight from New Jersey to Farnborough: an airfield near Martin’s house.

Ron’s grandson Kendrick stays at Coopers Chase for a few days. Kendrick tells his grandfather about a video game called Minecraft, and Ron suggests he should talk to Ibrahim about it.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Joyce visit Fairhaven train station. The lock is damaged when they locate locker 531, but Elizabeth opens it with a hairpin. Inside is nothing but an empty potato chip packet.

Elizabeth and Joyce meet Donna at the police station. She gives them an infrared light, which they shine on the potato chip packet causing a written message to appear. The message says that Elizabeth should be able to work out where the diamonds are. Joyce points out that the damage to the locker suggests someone got there before them. Donna promises to obtain the locker room’s CCTV for them to review.
