David receives a chilling message. Ian needs persuading.

Pawel's trying to get a team together for the community games. He's enjoying the UK and the picking work. When their social has to be cancelled, he suggests Adam takes the pickers to the pub. Adam's charmed, but Ian agrees to join them only reluctantly. 
Alice chats to Adam about her recent job interview, and they discuss the upcoming cricket match with Alice's old school, St Margaret's ('St Mag's'). 
To Ian's surprise he enjoys the evening at the pub. They share a joke as Pawel teaches him some Polish. Pawel declares it the best night since he arrived.
Ruth's less than impressed that all Adam appears to have to worry about is an event for the pickers. She thinks perhaps David should have attended the Borchester Show, but David disagrees. His caution's borne out when they receive another anonymous call, saying they know where the children are. 
Distraught Ruth immediately calls her mum. She wants to go straight back to Prudhoe but Jill advises it would be safer to wait until morning. She calmly solves the problem by arranging for Kenton to drive Ruth north first thing tomorrow. Jill checks on David, who's bewildered. He's done nothing wrong, so why does he feel like this is all his fault.
