Hale visits Ray's home. Ray was from a Travelling community who are very suspicious of the police and refuse to tell Hale anything; they say they will deal with Ray's death themselves. Eve and Hale later discover that a young girl, Amanda, is also missing and possibly in a lot of danger. Eve must earn the trust of Ray's family by showing them that she is a scientist and only motivated by finding justice for Ray. If they pursue their own justice then the truth about what happened may remain hidden forever
