Code of Silence has been airing on ITV and the explosive finale revealed what happened to Liam Barlow (played by Kieron Moore) and Braden Moore (Joe Absolom). The final episode started after the revelation Liam had planned to escape alone with the necklace all along.
Ben Lawford (Nathan Armarkwei) was out of surgery, recovering from the gunshot wound, and the rest of the officers wanted to make sure putting his life on the line wasn't "for nothing".
They asked Alison to text Liam so if he checked his messages they could locate him, meanwhile Alison and her mum were taken to a safehouse.
Braden, who had been on the run, was blindsided that Liam had set him up. While Helen Redman (Beth Goddard) and Joseph Holhurst (Andrew Scarborough) were brought in for questioning.
Unfortunately for the team, Helen still had the upper hand and she claimed the heist was all planned by Liam and Braden.
Liam wanted Alison to run away with him
Meanwhile, a surprising discovery was made about Liam, who had in fact changed his surname since his time in foster care.
DI James Marsh discovered the man who was killed in the previous heist, Charlie, was in fact Liam's foster dad, whom he had cared for dearly.
It transpired Liam had taken the necklace for revenge, wanting Braden and Helen to pay for what they did.
Liam had set up a meeting with Alison and he asked her to run away with him, but she wanted him to testify against Helen and Joseph.
Yet Liam, who did not want to end up with a lengthy prison sentence, could not contact the police.
Alison was held captive by Braden
After their meeting, Alison went back to the Canterbury Tap where she came face to face with Braden.
Wanting to lure Liam back to him with the necklace, he held Alison hostage at a warehouse.
Before handing over the necklace to Braden, Liam went back to his foster mum to say goodbye as he said he would need to spend his life on the run.
He took the necklace to Helen in return for Alison, but, in a twist of events, he had also called the police.
While Braden had a gun to Liam, Liam cleverly used sign language to tell Alison 'police, go' instead of 'please go', so she knew the police were coming.

Alison couldn't believe Liam had given himself up for her, and on the day of his court hearing, he told her he was continuing to practice British Sign Language.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob, while Braden and Helen had also been taken down for their involvement. Joseph was arrested after being charged with money laundering.
As for Alison, she and her mum moved into a new flat for a fresh start, and James surprised her with £50,000 for helping them. He encouraged her to put some of it towards a forensic lip reading course, telling her she would be a highly sought-after asset.

'We helped turn a jam session with a farting dog into a massive Oasis hit'
Chris and Tony Griffiths had a record contract and successful first album when they first met struggling wannabe rock stars Liam and Noel - taking them under their wing and showing them how to make records and even having a hand in some iconic songs Liam Gallagher was still at school, and Noel still working in a warehouse as a British Gas sub-contractor, when another pair of Beatles-obsessed brothers, Chris and Tony Griffiths, looked set to hit the big time. Their band, The Real People, had been signed to Colombia records for three years, and their first, eponymous album, had sold 100,000 copies. In 1992 the Griffiths were on tour with the Inspiral Carpets - for whom Noel Gallagher also worked as a roadie. It was over Pot Noodles in lunch breaks that Noel told them about his new band with Liam - and asked for their help. Chris and Tony invited the Gallagher brothers to their home recording studios in Liverpool - but said that before they had even heard their music they knew the duo were going to be stars. 'We had a recording deal at the time and in a better position than they were,' says Chris. 'We wanted to help them out as much as they could. 'But it wasn't about the songs. It was about Liam and his swagger. He had something. I remember the first time we saw him. It was at an end of tour party for Inspiral Carpets. 'Our kid (brother Tony) said: 'Who's he ? He's a star.' He lit up the room.' The four became good friends as they bonded over music. Chris remembers: ''They would come down on a Friday, stay over on our sofas and then go back on Sunday evening ready for work. They'd would come over and get stoned and listen to records. It was all peace and love – and music. 'We spent hours and hours listening to music. They would play us The Buzzcocks and we got them into Slade. We were bang into Slade at the time. They were into the Bee Gees.' 'We also taught them how to fall out,' he laughs. 'We were falling out 3 times a day and we still do. But we still work together now.' As Oasis is set to reunite after a falling out that lasted 16 years, with the first of a 41-date run of gigs kicking off in Cardiff on Friday, Chris remember's going along to their first ever gig, at the Manchester Boardwalk on August 14, 1991. 'There were only a handful of people there, 50 at most. They were first on and Liam came on wearing sunglasses! We started heckling him. They weren't all great musicians. Guigsy was just getting by on bass and Tony was a standard drummer, but Noel and 'Bonehead' were great guitarists, and Liam was always a star. "But we took someone from Sony Records with us and they weren't interested.' That changed, though, after the Griffiths taught the Gallaghers how to use their recording studio, making a demo cassette of their songs which would eventually catch the eye of the music industry. Tony remembered the first time Liam tried to record his vocals in their studio. He said: 'It was the first time Liam sang with headphones and he wasn't used to it. Chris would put the head phones on and get Liam to sing along with him.' 'I have him guide vocals and then we took my vocals out,' adds Chris. It was out of one jam session that Oasis debut single, Supersonic, emerged. Chris recalls: 'We were setting up to record and started jamming and it sounded really good. 'When we started recording Noel played another song. I said: 'What you were just doing sounds better.' We said they should crack on with the new idea. There were no lyrics, no melody, just an idea and by the end of the day it was finished. 'That was the only version they ever recorded." The song includes the lines 'Can I ride with you in your BMW?' and 'I know a girl called Elsa, she's into Alka-Seltzer' . Chris recalls: 'Noel sat at the back of the room and wrote about what was going on around him. We had a BMW and Dave Scott (the in-house engineer) had a dog called Elsa that was always farting! It was huge and intimidating - and could not stop farting.' Supersonic entered the charts at No 31 and Oasis were on their way. 'We were buzzing for them,' Chris remembers. 'We were playing 'Supersonic' to everyone we could, saying: 'Listen to this, they are going to be huge. If it wasn't for us doing that and recording the demos it wouldn't happened.' Another song they had a hand in was Colombia. The track was on the demo tape which the Gallagher brothers sent to music boss Alan McGee, who signed them on his Creation Records label. The song, which was including on their debut album Definitely Maybe, would also launch their legendary Knebworth live concerts, three years later in August 1996. Chris said: 'It started out as an instrumental. It was a long psychedelic guitar dirge that went on for five minutes. I said: 'This needs lyrics.' 'I came up with the first verse melody and first verse lyrics, Noel came up with the second verse and Liam came up with lyrics.' Three decades later, The Real People are still making music, with a new album planned for release next year. They continue to champion new acts, including The Kowloons, fronted by Chris's son Bobby. Chris says: I'm still doing music 24/7. We have our own studio and write songs and produce other bands. If I'm not writing or recording I'm doing Beatles covers around Liverpool pubs.' Tony said: 'We're proud to have been there to give them the support and the help we did. "And we are just proud to have been involved with the best album, and the best rock 'n' roll band, of the last 30 years."

Chris Hughes 'fears he'll be phased out of This Morning job' as ex Olivia Attwood bags presenting gig and becomes 'golden girl of ITV daytime' - with bosses 'scrambling to keep them apart'
reportedly fears he will be phased out of his This Morning job as his ex Olivia Attwood bags a presenting gig on the chat show. The pair first got together on the third series of Love Island in 2017, going on to feature in their own reality show Crackin' On before quickly splitting acrimoniously. They have gone on to develop separate careers in the limelight, as some of the most successful stars to come out of the ITV2 dating show. Olivia, 34, is now a regular Loose Women panellist as of 2023 and it was announced last month she would become a summer host on This Morning. Meanwhile, Chris, 32, has recently re-entered the spotlight for his romance with American musician JoJo Siwa, 22, which developed in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year. Olivia has been vocal about her criticisms of this relationship - and now, Chris, also a contributor on This Morning, fears the two will clash again on the ITV chat show, according to an insider. It is understood Olivia joining the programme has caused difficulties behind the scenes. And Chris - who has worked as a roving reporter on the show since exiting the Big Brother house in April - is believed to be particularly anxious about it. Sources told The Sun he had been hoping to capitalise on a growing relationship with ITV bosses to get a more regular showing on the programme this summer - perhaps in the studio or even on the sofa. They say that with Olivia's regular slot on Loose Women, Chris did not expect her to cross over to This Morning. And as he was happy in his relationship and busy with work, with post-Big Brother about the romance dying down, he felt he was in for a more stable period. So, it all makes her arrival feel like 'a huge blow' and 'the last thing he wants'. 'He doesn't want to have to do live crosses to his ex in front of the nation - it's so awkward and he feels like the viewers will be scrutinising their every interaction and every little facial expression will be analysed', sources explained. A friend of Chris' added that as Olivia is now a main presenter and he is a contributor, he fears in a toss-up he would be 'more expendable'. 'Liv's basically the new golden girl of ITV daytime', they said, 'and he worries he's going to be phased out.' They went as far as to say he would even actively leave to avoid drama: 'He's also really not someone who likes conflict so he would rather walk away.' The friend said Chris also feels insulted by public comments Olivia has made about his time on Big Brother and with JoJo - especially as he never mentions her publicly and has always spoken about her positively. While he was in the house, Olivia said in a video posted to TikTok she had to go to therapy after dating her fellow Love Islander. The presenter also called his relationship with JoJo, who is around ten years younger than him, 'creepy'. 'The therapy was expensive and now I'm going to have to go back for another round because I'm getting trolled on this app and because every weird, creepy thing that happens, I'm getting tagged in it', she explained. Olivia - who returned to footballer ex Bradley Dack after splitting with Chris, marrying him in 2023 - also suggested Chris was hamming things up in the Big Brother house. '[Some] people, they go on reality TV, they are one person and when you experience them off camera… It's like shapeshifters', she said. When questioned directly on the social media platform for her thoughts on Chris and JoJo's relationship, she hinted he was staging a publicity stunt: 'She's really famous.' It is believed Olivia is not nearly as bothered by potentially crossing paths with Chris on the programme, according to a friend of hers - as the prospect had not even occurred to her. Though she 'wouldn't relish' having to speak to him, she would remain professional and focus on doing the job at hand, they added. Olivia and Chris' relationship turned frosty pretty much as soon as they left the villa. They split up during production for their reality show Crackin' On, in March 2018, only seven months after Love Island - with the number of episodes quickly cut. She has even admitted they 'hated' each other after exiting the villa, calling the relationship 'toxic' and saying they were 'horrible' together. Bosses are determined to keep the pair apart on This Morning, it is thought, and have committed to not putting them on air at the same time. There is believed to be room for both of them, especially as ITV is used to keeping feuding presenters apart - making no secret of this on shows like Loose Women. This Morning has been dogged with controversy in recent years with long-time co-presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield falling out. Phillip stepped down in May 2023 after publicly admitting to having a 'consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning '. The presenter, who had come out as gay in February 2020, said the affair was 'unwise but not illegal'. Holly said in a public statement that when the news of his affair broke, she asked him directly if it was true, which he denied - and she was later hurt to discover he had lied. He said in an interview with the BBC he texted her to apologise for this lie - but she never replied. In her return to This Morning in June 2023 after a short break, Holly said she felt 'worried, shaken, troubled, let down and full of questions' due to his actions. The pair unfollowed each other on social media four months later, before Holly left the show after a man was arrested for plotting to kidnap and murder her. They are believed to no longer be on speaking terms, with Phillip angry she did not publicly defend him. And viewers were widely unsure if there was enough chemistry between Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley (pictured on the show earlier this week) when they became the programme's main presenters in April 2023 She reportedly told him she did not want to 'feed the narrative' and she was advised by ITV bosses not to respond publicly. Former This Morning presenter Ruth Langsford has also had issues with Phillip, reportedly filing a formal complaint when he cut her off once. Her ex-husband and former This Morning co-host Eamonn Holmes has also publicly criticised Phillip in recent years, as 'addicted to fame', a 'liar' and 'delusional'. Even in the current era of the show, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary have admitted it took them a while to form the close working relationship they now have. And viewers were widely unsure if there was enough chemistry between Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley when they became the programme's main presenters in April 2023.
