Beth follows her, but Liannes mother Pam Debbie Rush refuses to let her in.As Beth stands in the street, a helicopter flies overhead and a team of blackclad special forces soldiers appears in the street and orders everyone inside at gunpoint. Mr Sharma emerges from his house covered in blood and advances towards the soldiers with a knife. They shoot him dead. Beth and Kieran stay in her house listening to gunfire. Kieran reveals that he is happily married with two sons. He and Beth appear to just have had a onenight stand. Before the power goes off, a television news report shows a shipping container which has washed up on a nearby beach. Three bodies were found near it and another further inland. ........
