BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts. Close your eyes. Go on. I'm not going to hurt you. BBC Radio 4's thriller, The System Returns. Five of the country's richest men have been kidnapped. A brother and sister are on the run. We need money. How do we even get it? What, club them over the head and drag them into the bushes. I don't know. I've never mugged anyone before. Oh so now we're muggers, terrorist muggers. This is how it happens, Maya. One bad thing needs to another and in your head it's all justified. Maya and Jake are either dangerous terrorists or naive kids who got messed up in something they don't understand. Depending on your point of view. Run! And when their past finally catches up with them, they have a choice.

Based up to their crimes.

Or find the kidnapped men.

First one to find a plutocrat gets their sentence commuted.

But when a mysterious character pops up on social media.

Things get weird.

Oh, we got them.

We got these five naughty boys.

They stole the world and now it's time to...

Give it back, give it back now.

Give it back, give it back now.

Give it back, give it back now.

Give it back, give it back now.

A timer starts to count down.

Is someone going to tell me what's going on here?

This is the shadow land with a shadow court, and I am Lady Justice.

I'm accepting you deceased and desist.

This woman is a psychopath. She is a psychopath.

Do you ever wonder if you might pick the wrong side?

I'm scared, Jake.

I've got a bad feeling.

Are you going to kill me?
