Vince Murray’s under lock and key at Sun Hill after robbing a bank 24 years ago (Gold’s got a memory like an elephant). It looks like Murray’s doctor swapped over paperwork to make it seem he was the one blown to smithereens in the raid. Now Gold knows she hasn’t seen a ghost, she wants justice.

The brief wants her off the case. Jack’s painfully aware the police don’t have enough on Murray and knows he has to be released.

Explosives were used and half a million’s gone. Mickey tries to reign in Sally’s bountiful enthusiasm all day. Leaving him searching for a get-away motorbike she’s already found, Sally rushes off to chase the armed robbers, but soon comes a cropper…
