A curious Tim returns to the canal towpath and after digging about in the water, he's shocked to see a corpse's hand float up to the surface. Tim rushes back to his cab to call 999 to report finding a dead body - but the phone cuts out and then Stephen gets in the car.
Stephen tries to strangle Tim with a tie but he manages to wriggle free and makes a run for it, but when he trips on his shoelace, Stephen knocks him out with a brick.
