With Fagin arrested, the police, along with Harry Maylie, close in on where some of the gang have holed up. Cries of help are heard from Charlie when Sikes attacks him, causing the police to break in, though Sikes doesn't intend to be taken alive.

And after Monks' attempt to destroy all trace of Oliver's true identity, will Fagin finally come good?
