Roger has dismissed her concerns and she hopes instead that Toby will be willing to get to the bottom of the man's behaviour. Next day, Toby confronts the man.

Before he fully understands the risks he is running, Flood finds himself entangled in the mysterious - and dangerous - relationship between the Oswins and the Colborns...
