Nixon grudgingly works with Manson to locate dangerous escaped convict Eric Taylor, who has already eluded police twice. When Taylor is spotted, Carver pursues him into a swimming pool complex, and the two end up in the water. Kent watches as the two struggle, and is going to let Carver drown - until the cavalry arrive. Posing as a housebuyer, "June Carver", an emotional Ackland visits her long-lost son and meets her granddaughter, but she is too afraid to tell him her real identity. When his former lover, Rachel Heath, arrives at the station on the eve of her trial for assault, Meadows discovers that Manson's father-in-law, a Deputy Assistant Commissioner with the Met, has been using rent boys.
