Dressed in a sharp suit and killer heels PC Sally Armstrong (Ali Bastian) walks through the busy foyer of a city trading house and doesn’t fail to turn a few heads. As Sally emerges onto the street to get lunch, DCI Jack Meadows (Simon Rouse) pulls up in his car and she fills him in on how her first week undercover has gone.
Jack is pleased when she admits she has managed to get in with one of the suspects Andrew Shield (Laurence Hobbs) in the case of missing twenty-one year old, Geraldine. Back at the nick, Jack fills Geraldine’s worried father, Jim (Gordon Kennedy) in on the case and says there are three main suspects who were all at the bar the night his daughter went missing and they are getting closer to tracking down her last movements.
Elsewhere, Sergeant Stone (Sam Callis) feels vindicated his suggestion of using Sally is paying off and he can’t help letting PC Emma Keane (Melanie Gutteridge) know this as he gives the frustrated PC a routine task to perform. Emma demands to know what his problem is and why he insists on keeping her on the outside of his little gang. She says she thinks he wants someone he can control and she’s too much for him to handle. Emma moves in closer and whispers that maybe he’d like to handle her but he just doesn’t have the balls and before he can react, Emma walks away leaving the Sergeant hot under the collar.
Later, Sally is delighted when she is invited to a boozy night out with the traders. She tells Jack all of the suspects will be there and they’ve
told her to bring a friend along and Sally believes Emma is perfect.
During the evening, Emma starts to connect with Shield - he is clearly carrying around a lot of secrets and she seems like the sort of person he wants to off-load to. Emma boldly goes back to his place knowing she’s close to being taken into his confidence but how far will she go to get the truth out of him?
