Page and Rickman investigate when a woman is reported missing by her neighbours. She was last heard arguing with her violent ex-con husband, but as they check out his home address, they fail to find anything relating to her disappearance. Her husband then comes to the station to report his ex-wife missing, and a search is conducted of his house. Her ex-husband is convinced she has scarpered to Spain, but Stamp uncovers a box in the garden containing a gun and an empty jeweller's bag. Butterworth is taken in for questioning but, with no real evidence, he is released. Meadows then discovers that Rosie may well have run off with the proceeds of a robbery that Butterworth went down for.
