Cain Dingle has long been responsible for finding John Sugden – the man he has devoted all his energy to “bringing to justice”.

Next week, Cain will reveal the results of the hunt for John, but the results are not as expected: John is still at large, continuing to hide in the dark.

The opening scene shows Cain standing in the middle of the living room, in front of a series of clues, maps, photos – he declares: “John Sugden is still at large.” Silence fills the space.

The evidence is broken cameras, people lying, scattered clues.

John knows Cain is close – and warns from the darkness: if Cain gets too close, the whole village will pay. In a minute of face-to-face, John appears in a blurry figure, staring at Cain: “What do you want? You want to catch me? You will fail.” Cain trembles, his hands are broken – he knows this journey will not be easy.

Cain did not give up. He held a small meeting with Moira, Victoria, Chas – announced the map of the suspected location, divided the tasks, used social networks, hidden cameras… Everyone stood listening, some were tense, some were scared. The atmosphere was like a drop of water about to burst.

John continued to distract: sending a message to Cain, “I am looking at you.” In the dark, Cain stood on a high hill, looking up at the darkness – where John could be looking down. Car lights passed by, the wind blew strongly.

The final scene of this article: Cain held his phone, the screen displayed the “exposed” location – a black bone line running across the forest. Cain immediately rushed out, stepped into the darkness to chase. Readers will hold their breath: Will John be caught next week?
