Later, Callum tells Phil that he couldn’t find anything about Raymond’s family, but that he’s happy to look into some of his ‘contacts’ if that would help.
But Phil isn’t interested and heads off to the hospital, where he bonds with Raymond.
Phil then strikes up a conversation with Ellie and lies about who he is and why he’s there.
