Staffe and the team investigate, and learn that the victim recently made a particularly disturbing film, but her background also reveals some dark secrets… Elsewhere, Staffe’s family life also take a troubling turn – his sister Juliette is growing increasingly distressed trying to locate her errant fiancé Paulo. Will she find out about her brother’s involvement in Paulo’s disappearance? Concludes tomorrow. Rating: **** What's On TV
