considers the possibility of his wife's perjury. Finally, she confesses she did lie to protect her father. Lowther tells her that she will have to turn herself in and he will have to resign. She asks for time, and goes to see "George Berry", who turns out to be Boyd. She asks him for money and they plan to leave the country together. Ilse pleads with Philip to give up his dream of revenge and start a new life with her. He confronts Fay in her home, but realises that Ilse is right, and walks away. When Fay realises Boyd is not coming, she attempts suicide by trying to jump in front of an oncoming Waterloo & City line train, but is stopped by other people on the platform. She leaves with police sent by her husband after he read her farewell note. By sheer chance, Philip is then hired to deliver an urgent letter to "Berry". Philip confronts Boyd in his office, initially with a gun, but he throws this aside, deciding to fight like men, but when Boyd picks up the gun Philip runs away. It is time for Boyd to meet Fay at London Waterloo railway station, but he pursues Philip and shoots him in the arm. Philip flees to the barge, but Boyd is waiting for him. After a chase, Boyd is about to kill Philip when he is shot dead by Jackson. Ilse and Philip refuse further help from the police. They are left to deal with their pasts and face the future together.
