Under pressure to raise more money so work on the charitable housing project can progress, Harry sells 5% of his shareholding in Selfridges – meaning he no longer holds the majority stake.
Nancy, wrestling with her conscience and growing feelings for Harry, suggests to her brother Gus that they take the money and run now.

Meanwhile, Victor is desperate to reopen Colleano’s after the raid and is backed into accepting help from gangland boss Michael Regan. He’ll give Victor protection from Purkiss in exchange for some gambling on the side and a dedicated roulette table in the club – from which he’ll take a cut.
