He takes Tim to an abandoned back street and pretends he has a flat tyre. He asks Tim to help, which Tim reluctantly does. However, as he is looking in the boot for the spare tyre, Max shoves him in and shuts the boot, trapping a terrified Tim inside. As Tim yells to be let out, Max pours a bottle of water over the car, pretending it is petrol, sending Tim into a panic. It is only when he opens the boot and tells Tim exactly why he has kidnapped him that the penny drops. Max threatens the terrified lawyer, telling him he must pay the money he promised and never set foot in Walford again. Max also tells him that if he bothers the Carters again, he will kill him. Max then throws Tim to the ground and gives him a kicking. He then gets back in the car and puts it into reverse. Tim thinks he is about to be run over when Max stops the car at the last minute and drives off.
