Alan and Paula together set up a mediation scheme so that subpostmasters can apply for compensation. But for Martin Griffiths, pursued by the Post Office for alleged shortfalls of £60,000, it all comes too late; the desperate father of two dies by suicide. Alan is frustrated by slow progress and bureaucracy hampering the mediation, and James Arbuthnot MP publicly accuses the Post Office of sabotaging it. Two strangers bring new hope: a whistleblower, and a lawyer who thinks Alan finally stands a chance of raising the money to see the Post Office in court.
