Adam has a job as a long-distance lorry driver. He has to take a load of timber to London, deliver it and pick up another load to drive to Scotland. Russell goes with him for the ride. Ben comments on how peaceful the house is without the boys, but Ria finds the silence unnerving, like an empty cage. Leonard rings - his wife has gone away again, and he'll meet Ria in the park the next day. In the meantime, Ben takes her to London. A radio newsflash announces long delays on the road to London after a lorry carrying timber shed its load.
