Sam and Phil take the wounded Marat back to Phil's house where mum Linda proves surprisingly resourceful. But they have spies shadowing their every move, and with MI5's net closing in on them, headed by ballsy Agent Cox and the duplicitous Agent Smoke, just as our two unlikely heroes start to figure out what's afoot, they become high-value fugitives.
