Moss prepares to cover his tracks & human traffic the slaves
Philip Moss has told his son and business partner Gavin that he is winding up the building business and selling on the slave workers he has (three of them) via ‘Victoria’ who apparently is a slave labour dealer ‘on the other side of Birmingham’. Gavin who is familiar with ‘Victoria’ is uneasy about this as he believes that slave workers under her control are poorly treated, or at any rate more poorly treated than Moss has managed.
Given that the only person who knows the actual financial state of his business is Moss himself it’s unclear, although it would be unusual, if Moss was telling the truth. As likely it is an attempt to cover his tracks and get out of Borsetshire before the reality of his operation is discovered.

Chris confesses to Sergeant Burns
Chris has confessed to Sergeant Knacker Burns that Alice is not having a break in Bath but in fact on a de-tox for her alcohol issues.
