Filth and Pig have a case to crack, and they are determined to solve it any way they can.
So Filth and Pig start acting out an improvised scenario to try to explain the £70,000 in unused notes found with Kate, and the contract drawn up between Kate's successful entrepreneurial husband, Jamie, and his business associate, Robert, in which Jamie sells his wife for less than a hundred grand.
