Series 2 Episode 4
Survivors - Ep 4/6
Tuesday 9th February 2010 - BBCOne and BBCHD
Tom and Greg are enslaved alongside dozens of other men in Mr. Smithson's coal mine. Meanwhile, the Family are desperately hunting for them. They encounter Billy again, and he invites them to his home base, a roadside inn. He introduces his girlfriend, Sally, who offers them food and drink. When questioned about Tom and Greg, Billy feigns ignorance and exits under the pretence of asking around while on his trading route, leaving the Family with Sally. Sarah forms a bond with Sally, and when a carload of men arrive at the inn, Sally warns the Family to hide. She reveals that Billy brings people to the inn in order to sell them into slavery. She also reveals that Tom and Greg are being held at the nearby mine and reluctantly agrees to help free them.
Greg gets himself promoted from slave to enslaver by convincing Smithson that he is a geologist and more valuable as management than as labor. Unfortunately, Abby inadvertently exposes him. The Family is captured and enslaved, and Greg is sentenced to death. Meanwhile, Tom has escaped. He hijacks Billy's truck, ties Billy to a tree, and returns to the mine in time to save Greg. He frees the slaves, who take brutal revenge on their enslavers. The Family rescue Sally and depart. The episode ends with a young boy freeing Billy from his bonds. The boy is revealed to be Peter Grant.
