Mike at last grabs his key and begins his descent. The Interceptor complains that he cant get a decent zap whilst Annabel instructs Mike to find transport. Mikie lands the helicopter and the Interceptor jumps out to find Mike. (17) Mike finds a lorry and asks the driver for a lift. He is just climbing on the back when the Interceptor arrives on foot. Mike sits down and keeps his back protected. The Interceptor instructs him to `turn around`. (18) The lorry moves away and the Interceptor radios to Mikie to watch which way the lorry goes before returning to pick him up. Annabel tells Mike to head east towards Smailholm.

Sarah continues towards Roxburgh on the milk truck.

The Interceptor climbs back into the helicopter and tells Mikie he wants his longcoat dry cleaning tonight.
