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.
