"At the first opportunity, Sarah runs from him, but he tackles and points a gun at her before deciding to let her make her choice. She can either get back in the van or let herself be caught by "them," the people who intend to kill her. So, she gets back in the van. While she's at it, she might as well get an answer from Downey: Who is "they"?"
"They, we know, are the Ministry of Defence; more specifically, what seems to be their Murder Department. The person sent to clean up Axel's death is his own brother, Amos, who makes it seem like nothing ever happened, except he couldn't have known that the bathroom's doorknob was broken before Sarah tried to hang on to it for dear life. When Zoë notices that it has been fixed, after forcing her way into Sarah's house, she knows someone has been in there."
"She was looking for Sarah after identifying Axel as Joe's killer. It occurred to her when she went to buy cigarettes next door that the store was protected by cameras. Mal, the owner, was inclined to indulge his police-procedural fantasies by looking at the CCTV footage, which shows Axel coming out of Joe's office and into the store. Sarah, of course, already knows that Axel killed Joe, but she didn't have the chance to tell Zoë that."
Zoë pursues Joe's death while people connected to the Singleton house explosion are missing or dead, including Sarah Trafford. A stranger named Downey killed Axel Crane and abducted Sarah, who briefly escapes but chooses to return to avoid being caught by operatives intent on killing her. Those operatives are Ministry of Defence agents involved in a cover-up. Amos, Axel's brother, stages the death scene and repairs a broken bathroom doorknob, revealing interference. Zoë finds Sarah's empty house, views CCTV evidence showing Axel leaving Joe's office, and encounters Wigwam while searching for Sarah and Rufus.
