Charlie Keating, played by Nicholas Tennant, and his accomplice Keith Steer carry out a raid on a betting shop in June 1992 with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden). Steer and Keating are incompetent amateurs, and one shoots the other in the foot by mistake. When Phil stops to help the injured Keating, Steer drives off and leaves them. The police spend the next week questioning the Mitchell brothers about the robbery, but Phil is given a false alibi by Frank Butcher (Mike Reid) and Pete Beale (Peter Dean), so he avoids arrest.
