Mike's true objective became obvious after a couple of in-person meetings, when he subjected Vinny to a brutal homophobic attack and demanded thousands of pounds in exchange for maintaining his secrets.
In Thursday's hour-long episode, two police officials approach Vinny in the scrapyard and reveal that he has been tied to an official investigation into Mike's acts.
Mike's criminal activities are well known to the authorities, as he has targeted other guys in the same manner. However, because Vinny is the only person to have paid Mike via bank transfer, his is the only one where there is solid evidence.

This contentious Emmerdale scene has already generated nearly 300 complaints.
Vinny's difficult situation becomes obvious when the police explain that Mike may be allowed to strike again if he does not file a formal statement.
Unfortunately, Vinny does not want to do this since he wants to ensure that no one finds out why he contacted Mike in the first place.
Can the cops talk Vinny around? Fans can witness how the tale unfolds in full when the episode airs tonight at 7.30pm, or stream it now on ITVX and YouTube.
