Kennedy attacks Hall after refusal

The £250 bribe money, initially offered by Kennedy as an incentive for Hall’s participation in the ambush, hangs in the air as a symbol of the conspiracy’s corrupting influence. When Hall refuses the money and the kidnapping plan, Kennedy’s frustration escalates, and the bribe becomes irrelevant—replaced by physical violence. The money’s presence underscores the transactional nature of Kennedy’s approach, where loyalty is bought and dissent is crushed. After the attack, the money lies scattered near Hall’s unconscious body, a discarded relic of the failed negotiation and a clue for the Doctor’s investigation.

Before: Intact and offered to Hall as a bribe, symbolizing Kennedy’s attempt to secure his compliance through financial incentive.

After: Scattered on the warehouse floor near Hall’s unconscious body, now meaningless in the wake of Kennedy’s violent enforcement of the ambush plan.
