Sarah Cavendish, who had to leave the anti-terrorist squad for undisclosed reasons, joins Boyd's team as they reopen the case of banker Donald Rees, missing for three years. They speak to his wife Julie, who has terminal cancer and her children Miranda and Toby, who report seeing an elderly couple in funeral black stalking them when Donald vanished. They learn that the Rees' other daughter died of cancer due to radiation at a local hospital. CCTV from 2007 reveals that the old couple approached Donald just before he disappeared, drawing out 100,000 pounds from the bank. They were the Geigers, who lost a son at the same hospital in the late 1980s and whose skeletons the team find. Then their house is torched, killing the policewoman guarding it.
