Liam (Toby Kebbell) has a grain. He can re-watch any moment — work meetings, sex, arguments — with perfect recall. At a dinner party, he senses tension between his wife Ffion (Jodie Whittaker, future Doctor Who) and a guest named Jonas.

At first, everyone assumes it’s a sick joke. But a finger (real) arrives at a news station. The kidnapper releases a second video showing the princess alive. Public opinion shifts from outrage to morbid pressure. Polls show most people now want Callow to go through with it.

He does it. Live. The nation watches.

In the final shot, Bing stands in a nicer room, still trapped, watching a digital sunset on a screen. Abi appears occasionally on his TV as a porn actress.

Prime Minister Michael Callow wakes up to news that Princess Susannah has been taken. A masked figure releases a video demanding that Callow perform a live act of bestiality by 4:00 PM — or the princess dies.

Liam goes home, wakes Ffion, and demands to see her grain from that period. She finally admits: yes, she slept with Jonas around then. The child might not be his.

On stage, the judges praise her voice but pressure her to do porn (“Wraith Babes”) instead. She refuses. They offer more money, a better life. After a brutal speech from the head judge, she breaks down and agrees.

Consumed by rage, Bing saves his remaining Merits, shards a piece of glass (an “angry video” artifact), and forces his way onto the Hot Shot stage. He gives a furious monologue about the system — how they grind people down, turn art into filth. The judges love it. They offer him his own show.
