Carjacking and the deal setup

They call the girl on Adam's phone to negotiate a £7,000 payment for the bag of dismembered body parts, a sum Roy hopes to claim despite not having the full amount. The plan introduces a fragile balance between crime and desperation.

Diner robbery to fund the plan

Roy robs a diner to cover the rest of the money needed for the deal, holding employees at gunpoint and using hostages to force the handover. The violence intensifies as they push closer to their goal. Adam becomes increasingly exposed to the ruthlessness of Roy's world.

A wrench and a betrayal loom

Destroying the evidence; keeping the gun
