ITV No Return viewers predict how passport bribe will fail

Viewers who tuned into the second instalment of No Return on Monday night think they've worked out how an attempt to bribe the Turkish police will fail.

An increasingly-desperate Kathy borrowed £5,000 from her sister after her lawyer suggested they could pay off the authorities and have Noah freed from jail.

The money was withdrawn from a bank, in Turkish Lira, and taken back to the hotel in a holdall.

When a policeman entered the hotel room, Kathy's solicitor spoke to him in Turkish and suggested that instead of taking Noah's passport, he took the money instead as a bond.

If the case were to somehow fall through, he said, the police officers could keep the money.

Before the policeman could respond, he asked if he could first use the bathroom.

Afterwards, he gave a relieved Kathy back the passport and took the bag full of cash.

Her solicitor seemed to think this was cause for celebration, but a number of viewers spotted a problem.

Taking to Twitter, Debbie Blackman said: "Wasn't it weird the cop went to the bathroom before taking the money?"

Ant Melia said: "He’s probably changed the passport in the bathroom and conned them out the money"

Simon Smith said: "I think he took a pic of the passport and it will be blocked at the airport. She's handed over £5k for nothing"

Adele Worsey said: "Maybe the copper handed a different passport back but took the money. She never checked."

No Return continues Mondays at 9pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
