6	Michael Foster is in a LOT of trouble. Seems that he never returned ''Rory the Dinosaur'' to the Battersham Library...which he checked out in the '80s. The library, which is in serious debt, and run by the totally crazy Troy Bennet, decides to collect on Michael's overdue fees, which add up to a million pounds ([[RunningGag not dollars]]). At first Michael brushes off the library's calls, but when they kidnap his ex-girlfriend, shhhh gets real.

27	----
28	!! Tropes present in this series include:
29	* AccidentalTruth: [[spoiler:In the last episode, we briefly meet, of all people, Jason Smythe-McDougle Heinz.]]
30	* AxCrazy: Putting it mildly, Troy is incredibly unreasonable.
31	* BadBoss: Troy Bennet. "If your dog was here right now, I'd ''[[ShootTheDog kill your fucking dog]].''"
32	* BadassBoast: The things Troy boasts about. ''Delta company, 2nd Battalion Airborne, 502 Airborne Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, 3 silver stars for gallantry, 3 bronze stars for heroism, 8 purple hearts for cake decoration.''
33	* BaitAndSwitchGunshot:
34	** [[spoiler: Poor, poor Will.]]
35	** Earlier, [[spoiler:Will pretends to shoot Rachel to help her get away.]]
36	* BigNO: Steve does this when [[spoiler:Will dies.]] Since he's in a library, though, he whispers it instead of actually screaming.
37	* BrickJoke: “...I guess that's the fishing trip cancelled.”
38	%%* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The kindle.]]
39	* EnhanceButton: The satellite image they pick up can apparently zoom in enough to clearly read the title of a book on the ground.
40	* EvilIsHammy: Troy, to a ridiculous extent.
41	* GilliganCut: “I'm sure he's a perfectly reasonable man.” (Cut to Troy) “I AM NOT. A REASONABLE. MAAAAN!”
42	* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: The old man peacefully listening to music in the library, completely unaware of the battle going on behind him.
43	* IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect: ...he owes us a million pounds.
44	* IHaveNoSon: A favorite tactic of Troy's, though it's "grandson" instead of "son."
45	* OhCrap: When Michael realizes that the library is serious about the million pounds.
46	* OhNoNotAgain: [[spoiler:Troy makes the same mistake twice by not blocking the back door in Vietnam or in the present. This is more or less his reaction to the letter.]]
47	* OnTheNext: All the parts end like this. Except the last one, for obvious reasons.
48	* PreviouslyOn: Hand-in-hand with OnTheNext.
49	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: I AM NOT! A REASONABLE! MAAAAAAN!
50	* SeriousBusiness: Library books.
51	* ShootOutTheLock: Doesn't work. It just wastes the remaining bullets.
52	* SkywardScream: Steve does this with [[spoiler:Will's dead body.]] See BigNO above.
53	* YouJustHadToSayIt: Said by one guard to his companion after he notes the unlikelihood that a civilian will have a grenade.
