DI Liz Rawton and
DS Peter Cork are visiting the scene of the latest
attack. Cork is doubtful that the perpetrator is
'their' rapist as there's no bag over the victim's
head and her hands haven't been tied. Meanwhile DC
Kate Spears is fruitlessly searching for her
missing friend Eddie; she fears for his safety
when Cork hands in Eddie's phone, claiming to have
found it. As DS Vik Singh propounds to Cork and
Rawton that their prey might be getting bolder,
Rawton opens a package containing torn knickers
and a rose petal. Horrified, she explains she
received the same from an old boyfriend a couple
of years ago who later committed suicide. Cork is
aware of this and suggests the rapist is baiting
them. He proposes they set a trap. Along with PCs
Roz Clarke and Polly Page, Spears volunteers to
pose as a prostitute in a local park hoping to
attract the rapist. However, it is Spears who is
dangerously exposed when Cork, who is supposed to
be guarding her, is nowhere to be seen.
