Articles Where Are They Now: Dead of Night Cast? by DJ Forrest



Friedkin discovers only too quickly that pissing off a CIA agent by sending someone onto the plane to eliminate the only mortal being left on the planet was a big bad idea. Rex takes the phone that instructs Friedkin of who to 'remove' and leaves him with a 'slight' ringing in his ears. Hope he doesn't go deaf!!!

The new 'team' comprising of Jack, Gwen, Rex and Esther, hide out in a rundown building, but still have money for laptops and equipment thanks to Jack's old bank account that has been in operation since Queen Victoria's reign. Gwen also picks up a few food supplies, all that is left on the shelves are some flat lemonade and potato chips. Gwen sees a march of people wearing masks and picks up one on the way back. They call themselves the 'Soulless'.

Gwen gives the team all new mobile phones, and poor Esther is berated by Rex for adding her sister's number into it.

Through their investigations they get a lead on a disused Phicorp warehouse, inside they discover a warehouse inside a warehouse 'bigger on the inside' and find stocked almost floor to ceiling crates upon crates of painkillers. Someone knew about the Miracle a year before it happened.

With this kind of information, Rex needs the backing of the CIA and knows that his old boss and good friend, retired, will be able to help him. But shocked and hurt by his betrayal leaves his band of renegade misfits by the side of the road and drives off into the night and in need of further medication himself, into the arms of a surprised Vera Juarez.

Jack, decides to follow suit and leaves the girls to head off into a night club to feel alive, and meets Brad the barman who takes a shine to his greatcoat.

Gwen and Esther return to the hideout, where Gwen listens to Jack lamenting about their old life later on in the evening and how they don't need anyone else in their lives, when Esther gives Gwen a video link of Rhys holding Anwen and she puts her phone down to talk to her husband and baby.

Jack goes in search of Oswald Danes curious about him and what he might know regarding Harkness himself. There must be a reason Phicorp want him dead. Naturally, Oswald knows nothing but shows Jack some good old American hospitality and shows him the door, after a good thumping, that is.

The phone perks up while Rex and Esther are alone in the room. There's no answer when Rex answers it, but whoever it is, they're going to be on their tail from now on. Time to go!
