1
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:06,753
(choir singing requiem
with orchestra)

2
00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:26,941
(quiet conversations)

3
00:00:28,612 --> 00:00:29,852
Constable Morse.

4
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:31,270
I loved your singing.

5
00:00:31,448 --> 00:00:33,815
Dorothea Frazil, <i>Oxford Mail.</i>

6
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:35,778
We met briefly
on the Tremlett case.

7
00:00:35,953 --> 00:00:37,569
Oh, I remember you, of course.

8
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:38,952
It's a good angle.

9
00:00:39,122 --> 00:00:40,908
“The Singing Detective.“

10
00:00:41,083 --> 00:00:43,370
Better than the one
I've got presently.

11
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:46,502
I've no wish to see my name
in the papers, Miss Frazil.

12
00:00:46,672 --> 00:00:49,255
Look, covering
for the local arts correspondent

13
00:00:49,424 --> 00:00:50,904
is never going to win me
the Pulitzer.

14
00:00:50,928 --> 00:00:51,928
Just give me a quote?

15
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:53,694
I'll see there's something
in it for you.

16
00:00:53,718 --> 00:00:56,383
Any such recompense
would leave us both open

17
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:58,798
to charges of bribery
and corruption.

18
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:02,351
If you'll excuse me.

19
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:05,637
Good evening.

20
00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:08,057
Good luck with your story.

21
00:01:14,093 --> 00:01:15,093
Constable!

22
00:01:15,117 --> 00:01:16,232
(flash clicks)

23
00:01:52,696 --> 00:01:53,902
I'll be off then, Aunt.

24
00:01:54,072 --> 00:01:55,904
Phillip will be in tomorrow

25
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:58,532
to see if there's
anything you need.

26
00:01:58,702 --> 00:02:01,194
Will he have time,
with the recital?

27
00:02:01,371 --> 00:02:03,453
He's working very hard.

28
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:05,786
But coming to see you
is always good for him.

29
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:10,460
So...

30
00:02:10,631 --> 00:02:12,338
How is he?

31
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:22,180
(playing fast piano music)

32
00:02:38,325 --> 00:02:40,862
(bike bell rings)

33
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:03,013
(engine revving)

34
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:11,396
Can you get a tarp
over the timber?

35
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:13,477
I'm breaking my neck
for a jimmy.

36
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:21,357
LIONEL: What's the
matter with her?

37
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:22,900
I told you.

38
00:03:23,078 --> 00:03:24,910
She's just not feeling right.

39
00:03:30,669 --> 00:03:32,410
Don't go.

40
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:34,373
Please.

41
00:03:34,548 --> 00:03:37,131
She's my mother, Lionel.

42
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:40,509
I do love you, Evie.

43
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,841
(baby crying)

44
00:03:53,358 --> 00:03:54,439
Fancy a pint?

45
00:03:54,609 --> 00:03:55,690
If you're buying.

46
00:03:58,572 --> 00:03:59,778
No, it's an emergency job.

47
00:03:59,948 --> 00:04:00,948
Just come in.

48
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:03,403
Some old girl's sprung a leak.

49
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:06,160
I can't exactly leave her
in the lurch, can I?

50
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:09,447
Quick as I can, promise.

51
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:11,285
Love you too.

52
00:04:19,176 --> 00:04:22,089
(woman singing opera aria)

53
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:51,660
(opera singing continues)

54
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:09,219
(dinnerware clattering)

55
00:05:19,861 --> 00:05:21,101
(engine stops)

56
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:24,573
Watch ya.

57
00:05:24,699 --> 00:05:25,699
Morse.

58
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:26,907
This way, Sir.

59
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:41,372
Yardman was doing
his rounds about 5:00.

60
00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:43,541
Saw the wagon door open

61
00:05:43,718 --> 00:05:45,504
and thought he'd take a look.

62
00:05:45,679 --> 00:05:47,670
How often does he check
on the rolling stock?

63
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:50,966
Start, middle and finish
of his turn most nights.

64
00:05:51,142 --> 00:05:52,598
Though this end,
I think not so much

65
00:05:52,769 --> 00:05:54,510
because they're all
out of service,

66
00:05:54,688 --> 00:05:56,349
waiting on being broken up.
This it?

67
00:06:04,823 --> 00:06:06,609
Dr. deBryn.

68
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:07,864
Inspector.

69
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:15,243
No need to ask after cause,
I shouldn't have thought.

70
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:18,159
Ligature strangulation.

71
00:06:18,336 --> 00:06:20,998
Almost textbook.

72
00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:22,913
As to the time...

73
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:24,091
Three pink elephants...

74
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:25,259
Two pink elephants...

75
00:06:25,427 --> 00:06:27,543
One pink elephant.

76
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:29,428
Sometime between 9:00
and midnight.

77
00:06:31,099 --> 00:06:32,430
She has an earring missing.

78
00:06:32,601 --> 00:06:34,081
ENDEAVOUR: I've a
contingent of cadets

79
00:06:34,105 --> 00:06:35,425
coming down to search.

80
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:37,891
Got a name for her?

81
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:39,270
Evelyn Balfour.

82
00:06:39,441 --> 00:06:41,041
She works behind the bar
at Cowley Bingo.

83
00:06:41,065 --> 00:06:43,942
Husband last saw her
last night about 7:00

84
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:45,773
when she left to visit
her sick mother.

85
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:48,188
Wasn't he worried
when she didn't come back?

86
00:06:48,366 --> 00:06:50,778
There was some possibility
she may stay overnight.

87
00:06:50,952 --> 00:06:52,693
She told her husband
her mother was ill.

88
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:55,363
Mother's been spoken to;
nothing wrong with her.

89
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,252
What's that in her mouth?

90
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:01,337
A handkerchief.

91
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:11,049
Embroidered

92
00:07:11,222 --> 00:07:13,088
with the letter <i>“D.“</i>

93
00:07:17,812 --> 00:07:19,223
(doorbell rings)

94
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,997
Hardly the most romantic spot
for a bit of how's-your-father.

95
00:07:47,175 --> 00:07:49,257
Private.

96
00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:50,838
It's got that going for it.

97
00:07:51,012 --> 00:07:52,252
Beggars can't, I suppose.

98
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:56,463
We're going to take the husband.

99
00:07:56,487 --> 00:07:57,568
You can do her work.

100
00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:00,723
Just the facts.

101
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:02,763
Don't need confusing
with any "theories."

102
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:05,101
Then you're back to the nick
and resume General Duties.

103
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:06,232
Right?

104
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:12,989
All was well with you
and Mrs. Balfour?

105
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,159
No arguments?

106
00:08:14,244 --> 00:08:15,359
None.

107
00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:17,619
Never a cross word, eh?

108
00:08:17,789 --> 00:08:19,371
Did you go out last night?

109
00:08:19,541 --> 00:08:20,906
No.

110
00:08:21,084 --> 00:08:23,200
Just had my tea.

111
00:08:23,378 --> 00:08:25,335
Got the children bathed
and put to bed.

112
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,291
I was catching up on my returns.

113
00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:30,739
You're an insurance agent,
that right?

114
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:32,130
Mutual and Provident.

115
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:34,010
What's that, door to door?

116
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:35,636
Collecting payments.

117
00:08:38,143 --> 00:08:41,135
Mrs. Balfour often go out alone
of an evening?

118
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:43,223
Only to see her mother.

119
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:45,118
She's not been in the best
of health lately.

120
00:08:45,142 --> 00:08:46,439
Shingles.

121
00:08:46,609 --> 00:08:49,067
How long's that been
going on then?

122
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:50,819
Couple of months.

123
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:54,735
Other than that,
Mrs. Balfour was more

124
00:08:54,909 --> 00:08:56,570
of a home-bird, though, was she?

125
00:08:56,745 --> 00:08:58,406
Oh, yes.

126
00:08:58,580 --> 00:09:00,321
She sometimes had a late turn
at the Bingo,

127
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:02,785
depending on the rota,
but otherwise...

128
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:05,955
Nice.

129
00:09:06,129 --> 00:09:07,836
We just had it done.

130
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:09,838
Couple of months back.

131
00:09:10,008 --> 00:09:11,840
Evelyn had been on for one.

132
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:13,091
A pal of hers at work

133
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:15,343
had a matching suite
put in at Christmas.

134
00:09:15,513 --> 00:09:16,878
You know what they're like.

135
00:09:21,603 --> 00:09:24,265
Mrs. Balfour looks to have been
carrying on with someone, sir.

136
00:09:24,439 --> 00:09:26,680
Romantically?

137
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:28,898
Common knowledge at the bingo
hall where she worked,

138
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:30,525
according to Morse.

139
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:33,608
Morse? I thought he'd been
returned to General Duties.

140
00:09:33,782 --> 00:09:36,490
That's right, sir, he has.

141
00:09:36,659 --> 00:09:39,071
He just happened to be in early
when the report came through.

142
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:41,031
Amongst the first on the scene.

143
00:09:41,206 --> 00:09:43,493
Does the husband know?

144
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,828
About the infidelity?

145
00:09:46,002 --> 00:09:48,084
Not the impression he's giving.

146
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:51,667
Trying to protect
her reputation, perhaps.

147
00:09:51,841 --> 00:09:54,503
Or his own.

148
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:57,385
No man likes to be thought
a cuckold.

149
00:09:57,555 --> 00:09:59,546
Doesn't look as though
he's got it in him.

150
00:10:01,684 --> 00:10:03,595
Afancy man, most likely.

151
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:06,432
Just a matter
of finding him, then.

152
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:18,570
(phones ringing)

153
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:39,132
You got that car theft
written up yet?

154
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,967
How's about you stick
to General Duties

155
00:10:42,142 --> 00:10:44,804
and let the rough boys deal
with the grown-up stuff?

156
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:47,265
Why'd he leave the door open?

157
00:10:47,438 --> 00:10:48,707
The door hadn't been open,
she could've lain there for days

158
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:49,731
before being discovered.

159
00:10:49,858 --> 00:10:51,064
Panicked, hasn't he?

160
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,350
Once he's done her,
fled the scene,

161
00:10:53,528 --> 00:10:54,814
forgot to shut it after him.

162
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:56,194
Reckless, don't you think?

163
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:58,105
He made a mistake.

164
00:10:59,951 --> 00:11:02,409
Or he wanted us to find her.

165
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:06,405
I don't hear you typing.

166
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:09,791
Car theft.

167
00:12:01,596 --> 00:12:03,928
(grunting)

168
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:27,612
(faint rumbling)

169
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:30,030
(door slams)

170
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:31,824
(footsteps running)

171
00:12:46,557 --> 00:12:47,968
(grunting)

172
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:49,974
(knocking loudly)

173
00:12:50,144 --> 00:12:51,930
Police! Open the door!

174
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,688
Hello! Police!

175
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:57,607
Did you close that door?

176
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:58,983
Police!

177
00:12:59,153 --> 00:12:59,984
Was that you?

178
00:13:00,154 --> 00:13:01,315
No, sir!

179
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:30,048
Yoon...

180
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:31,226
Back-ee-a...

181
00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:32,269
An kera.

182
00:13:32,353 --> 00:13:33,639
<i>Un he do an corra.</i>

183
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:34,974
All right.

184
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:37,139
So what's it mean?

185
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:40,560
"One kiss more."

186
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:42,648
Italian.

187
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:45,154
"Un <i>bacio ancorra"</i> is Otello's
last line in Verdi's opera.

188
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:46,531
So what?

189
00:13:46,701 --> 00:13:48,408
He sings it
having strangled his wife

190
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:49,909
in a fit ofjealousy.

191
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:51,559
He believes she's given
a handkerchief

192
00:13:51,733 --> 00:13:53,573
to another officer
as a sign of her affections.

193
00:13:53,610 --> 00:13:54,451
And?

194
00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:57,458
His wife's name is Desdemona.

195
00:13:57,628 --> 00:14:00,165
The handkerchief stuffed
into Evelyn Balfour's mouth

196
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,047
was embroidered with the initial

197
00:14:02,216 --> 00:14:03,422
JAKES:
You're kidding.

198
00:14:03,593 --> 00:14:06,210
We're not really giving this
any weight, are we?

199
00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:07,218
Interesting, don't you think?

200
00:14:07,372 --> 00:14:08,532
Maybe, but that could've been

201
00:14:08,556 --> 00:14:10,467
written up on the door
years ago.

202
00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:12,882
More likely we're looking
for a bloke called Dave

203
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:15,974
than some bint called Desdemona.

204
00:14:16,147 --> 00:14:18,605
This is some fancy man
she had on the go,

205
00:14:18,775 --> 00:14:20,857
it'll have been
a spur-of-the-moment thing.

206
00:14:20,948 --> 00:14:22,588
Exactly... he's hardly
going to hang about

207
00:14:22,612 --> 00:14:24,048
writing all that
on the back of the door,

208
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:25,187
then sliding it out of view

209
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:26,947
where nobody could find it,
is he?

210
00:14:27,116 --> 00:14:28,402
It was found.

211
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:30,408
Sir...
JAKES: Not as if anybody normal

212
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:31,858
would think
to look there, is it?

213
00:14:31,882 --> 00:14:33,793
Thursday.

214
00:14:36,125 --> 00:14:37,707
Where's this?

215
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:45,173
Morse.

216
00:14:55,645 --> 00:14:58,182
Deceased is one
Grace Agnes Madison.

217
00:14:58,356 --> 00:14:59,562
Eleventh of the fourth, 1896.

218
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:02,315
Widowed.

219
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:03,850
Found by her niece Faye.

220
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:05,548
Just gone half-past 10:00
this morning.

221
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:06,941
Pathologist been notified?

222
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:08,731
He's on his way.

223
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,616
But she was in general good
health, according to the niece.

224
00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:15,945
She's outside
if you wanted a word.

225
00:15:18,209 --> 00:15:20,667
Mrs. Madison was your aunt,
is that right?

226
00:15:20,837 --> 00:15:23,204
Married to my father's
older brother.

227
00:15:23,381 --> 00:15:26,499
Uncle Cedric.

228
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:28,883
He's deceased, I understand.

229
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:30,053
Yes.

230
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:32,838
He died in '62.

231
00:15:33,015 --> 00:15:35,723
Aunt Grace returned to England
the following year.

232
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:37,884
From where?

233
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:39,928
India.

234
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:41,767
She was born in Witney,

235
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,182
but grew up and lived
most of her life there,

236
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,192
which is where she met
Uncle Cedric.

237
00:15:50,908 --> 00:15:52,524
When did you see her last?

238
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:55,194
Yesterday.

239
00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:58,329
Aunt Grace was all the family
we had left.

240
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:02,663
One or other of us
tried to look in every day

241
00:16:02,837 --> 00:16:05,249
just to see if there was
anything she needed.

242
00:16:05,423 --> 00:16:07,960
One or the other of whom?

243
00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:09,499
My brother Phillip.

244
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:12,419
Today was his turn,

245
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:17,808
but he's presently rehearsing
for a piano recital.

246
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:22,972
She seemed in good health
when you saw her last?

247
00:16:23,149 --> 00:16:25,891
Yes.

248
00:16:26,068 --> 00:16:29,652
Pottering about the conservatory
as usual.

249
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:35,366
Aunt Grace was a botanist
of some note.

250
00:16:35,536 --> 00:16:39,120
She'd written several books on
the flora of the subcontinent.

251
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:42,953
Doctor.

252
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:44,868
Morse.

253
00:16:45,046 --> 00:16:46,957
Anything?

254
00:16:47,131 --> 00:16:51,341
"By “anything," I presume you
mean “anything suspicious“?

255
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:55,971
No obvious signs of violence.

256
00:16:56,140 --> 00:16:58,507
All I can tell you for now
is that she died

257
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:03,554
sometime between 4:00 and 7:00
yesterday afternoon.

258
00:17:03,731 --> 00:17:05,142
I'd be grateful if you could get

259
00:17:05,316 --> 00:17:07,316
the contents of the teapot
taken away for analysis.

260
00:17:07,485 --> 00:17:09,897
The teapot?

261
00:17:10,071 --> 00:17:11,653
People do die
of natural causes, Morse.

262
00:17:11,822 --> 00:17:14,940
Think someone bumped her off
for the inheritance?

263
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:16,733
I think the table's set for two

264
00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:18,431
and her guest
hasn't touched their tea.

265
00:17:20,998 --> 00:17:26,710
If that's the stuff the chimps
drink, I'm a Chinaman.

266
00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:32,127
Mrs. Madison had an appointment
in her diary

267
00:17:32,301 --> 00:17:34,212
with a Mr. Nimmo
at 4:00 pm. yesterday.

268
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:37,550
There was a letter from him
dated Tuesday last.

269
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,181
Some sort of journalist.

270
00:17:40,351 --> 00:17:42,308
Wanted to write
about her gardening.

271
00:17:42,478 --> 00:17:45,596
She was a botanist of some
repute, apparently.

272
00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:47,653
One day, I'll send you out
for a routine inquiry

273
00:17:47,817 --> 00:17:49,683
and it'll turn out to be
just that.

274
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:52,192
But I won't hold my breath.

275
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:54,603
You'd find something suspicious
in a saint's sock drawer.

276
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,905
I didn't know you spoke Italian.

277
00:18:02,331 --> 00:18:04,368
More under my hat than nits.

278
00:18:07,962 --> 00:18:11,045
We came up through Italy
after North Africa.

279
00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:13,752
Landed at Reggio.

280
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:16,918
Then on to Cassino.

281
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:21,097
(knocking)

282
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:25,851
Got a match on a thumbprint

283
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:28,810
off Mrs. Balfour's
handbag, sir.

284
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:32,396
Roy Adamson.

285
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:35,653
Three months suspended for
receiving, some nine years back.

286
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:38,565
Runs 3 builder's yard
out towards Headington.

287
00:18:38,743 --> 00:18:40,984
Looks like Othello's
in the clear.

288
00:18:41,162 --> 00:18:43,028
Right, fetch the car round.

289
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:48,821
Mrs. Madison's niece
know anything

290
00:18:48,996 --> 00:18:50,076
about this Nimmo character?

291
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:51,911
No, sir.

292
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:53,671
See if you can run him down.

293
00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:55,752
Find out what he
was doing there.

294
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:58,088
What about this builder?

295
00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:00,469
The Balfours had
a bathroom suite

296
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,051
installed a few months back,

297
00:19:02,224 --> 00:19:05,057
round about the time she was
"visiting her sick mother."

298
00:19:07,438 --> 00:19:09,038
Let's just say I'd be
very much surprised

299
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:10,750
if it wasn't Roy Adamson's
building firm

300
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:11,981
that was doing the work.

301
00:19:15,112 --> 00:19:16,523
(knocking)

302
00:19:18,949 --> 00:19:19,984
Oh.

303
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:20,990
Good afternoon.

304
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,026
City Police.

305
00:19:23,204 --> 00:19:24,324
I'm looking for a Mr. Nimmo.

306
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:25,695
I believe he lives at number 8.

307
00:19:25,790 --> 00:19:26,871
I've never seen him.

308
00:19:28,626 --> 00:19:29,832
How long have you lived here?

309
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:31,913
Nearly three years.

310
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:34,045
Oh.

311
00:19:36,467 --> 00:19:37,667
Well, thank you for your help.

312
00:19:40,638 --> 00:19:42,845
Heard him, though.

313
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:44,015
You've heard him?

314
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,216
Music blaring out
till all hours.

315
00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:48,180
I've written to the landlord,

316
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:51,096
not that it's made
no difference.

317
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:52,434
(faint voices)

318
00:19:52,608 --> 00:19:53,608
What kind of music?

319
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:54,982
Classical.

320
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:57,268
You know, bloody awful stuff.

321
00:19:57,446 --> 00:19:58,561
Singing.

322
00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:01,151
Well, caterwauling.

323
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:02,565
Thank you.

324
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:11,874
Yeah, we did some work
for Mr. Balfour.

325
00:20:14,088 --> 00:20:15,544
There you go.

326
00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:16,715
A bathroom suite.

327
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:17,713
Pink.

328
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:19,999
Afew months back.

329
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:21,633
What did you make of 'em?

330
00:20:21,804 --> 00:20:23,004
I didn't make anything of 'em.

331
00:20:23,097 --> 00:20:24,212
Just customers.

332
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:25,630
Nice enough.

333
00:20:25,808 --> 00:20:27,924
Seen 'em recently?

334
00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:30,093
No, not since the job finished.

335
00:20:30,271 --> 00:20:31,978
You sure about that?

336
00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:35,015
Pretty sure.

337
00:20:35,192 --> 00:20:38,685
See, the thing is, Roy,

338
00:20:38,863 --> 00:20:41,651
we found Mrs. Balfour
strangled yesterday,

339
00:20:41,824 --> 00:20:45,988
and your fingerprints have
turned up on her handbag.

340
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:47,802
Anything you'd like
to tell me about that?

341
00:20:49,457 --> 00:20:52,290
(playing fast music)

342
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:02,257
(pounding keys)

343
00:21:08,851 --> 00:21:10,307
That's you.

344
00:21:14,190 --> 00:21:15,851
Go on, in you get.

345
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:23,605
THURSDAY: He's admitted
carrying on with her.

346
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:25,444
Not that he had much choice.

347
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:26,904
Sergeant Jakes found an earring

348
00:21:27,077 --> 00:21:28,408
in the footwell
of a works' truck.

349
00:21:28,579 --> 00:21:30,069
A match?

350
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:32,830
Took her up Boar's Hill,
he says... car park.

351
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Brings her back after by Osney,
where he found her.

352
00:21:35,085 --> 00:21:36,450
Alive and well, presumably.

353
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:37,669
STRANGE:
Call for you, sir.

354
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:38,797
Dr. DeBryn.

355
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:40,875
The "sudden" this morning.

356
00:21:41,050 --> 00:21:43,132
Pending toxicological results,

357
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:47,011
I consulted a colleague
from the Botanic Gardens.

358
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:51,720
He identified the leaves
in the teapot

359
00:21:51,894 --> 00:21:55,307
<i>as</i> having come
from <i>Datura stramonium.</i>

360
00:21:55,481 --> 00:21:56,562
Datu ra?

361
00:21:56,732 --> 00:21:58,018
A weed.

362
00:21:58,192 --> 00:22:00,149
Also known as the Thorn Apple,

363
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,060
or Devil's Snare.

364
00:22:02,238 --> 00:22:03,569
Poisonous?

365
00:22:03,739 --> 00:22:04,820
Oh, highly toxic.

366
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:06,355
The seed pods in particular.

367
00:22:06,534 --> 00:22:08,901
I took the liberty.

368
00:22:09,078 --> 00:22:12,491
Been used for centuries
by the Indians and Chinese

369
00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:15,282
as a treatment for asthma.

370
00:22:15,459 --> 00:22:17,450
But the line between a medicinal
and a lethal dose

371
00:22:17,628 --> 00:22:19,039
is very thin indeed.

372
00:22:19,213 --> 00:22:20,453
Contains atropine

373
00:22:20,631 --> 00:22:21,996
and scopolamine.

374
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:23,174
The "truth" drug.

375
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:24,457
That's right.

376
00:22:24,635 --> 00:22:25,841
Taken in overdose,

377
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:29,049
symptoms include severe
hallucinations, seizures,

378
00:22:29,223 --> 00:22:32,591
all leading, step by jolly step,

379
00:22:32,768 --> 00:22:34,384
to blindness, coma

380
00:22:34,562 --> 00:22:36,894
and an eventual “How do you do?“
from St. Peter,

381
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:39,852
if one goes in
for that sort of thing.

382
00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:45,899
THURSDAY:
What do you make to it?

383
00:22:46,073 --> 00:22:47,529
Mrs. Madison.

384
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,907
Money?

385
00:22:50,077 --> 00:22:51,488
With only a niece
and nephew living,

386
00:22:51,662 --> 00:22:53,744
I'd expect they stand
to inherit.

387
00:22:53,914 --> 00:22:55,575
What about your Mr. Nimmo?

388
00:22:55,749 --> 00:22:57,740
No one's seen him
around his flat,

389
00:22:57,918 --> 00:23:00,626
but a neighbor said he had music
blaring fill all hours.

390
00:23:00,796 --> 00:23:03,003
Opera, by the sound of it.

391
00:23:03,173 --> 00:23:04,755
The entire lease on his lodgings

392
00:23:04,925 --> 00:23:06,205
is conducted
through a solicitor.

393
00:23:06,343 --> 00:23:08,050
They're running down a check.

394
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:11,383
Should be able to get a more
reliable address from his bank.

395
00:23:11,557 --> 00:23:13,423
Aweed, Dr. deBryn said.

396
00:23:13,601 --> 00:23:16,041
Not likely to be something she'd
have been cultivating, is it?

397
00:23:16,065 --> 00:23:19,023
I wouldn't have thought so.

398
00:23:20,649 --> 00:23:23,391
There's something about Datura
I can't quite put my finger on.

399
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:25,025
At least the Balfour case

400
00:23:25,195 --> 00:23:26,685
looks like it's going
to run to form.

401
00:23:26,864 --> 00:23:27,945
The builder?

402
00:23:28,115 --> 00:23:29,401
Has he confessed?
Not yet.

403
00:23:29,575 --> 00:23:31,015
I'm letting him sweat
for the minute.

404
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:32,571
I'll have another go
after lunch.

405
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:33,951
Speaking of which...

406
00:23:34,121 --> 00:23:36,237
Now, let's see,

407
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:38,656
what have I got
to look forward to?

408
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:40,825
Luncheon meat.

409
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:47,090
Remind me never to spend
Christmas at your house.

410
00:23:53,515 --> 00:23:56,678
(birds chirping)

411
00:24:45,818 --> 00:24:49,607
(women singing opera duet)

412
00:25:21,562 --> 00:25:25,851
<i>"Vlci loin du monde réel."</i>

413
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:27,436
They're the last words

414
00:25:27,609 --> 00:25:29,065
sung by Lakme, sir.
Hmm?

415
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:30,692
Lakme, sir.

416
00:25:30,863 --> 00:25:33,104
An Indian princess.

417
00:25:33,282 --> 00:25:35,489
The heroine of an opera
by Delibes.

418
00:25:35,659 --> 00:25:36,899
According to Morse, sir,

419
00:25:37,077 --> 00:25:38,863
this Lakme girl kills herself

420
00:25:39,038 --> 00:25:41,996
by eating leaves
from the Datura plant,

421
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:45,249
the same as was used
to poison Grace Madison.

422
00:25:45,419 --> 00:25:47,535
Makes it two, sir.

423
00:25:47,713 --> 00:25:49,795
What makes two?

424
00:25:49,965 --> 00:25:52,423
Two deaths, sir,
with a connection to opera.

425
00:25:52,593 --> 00:25:54,209
There was a phrase from...
what is it?

426
00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:56,127
Otello, sir.

427
00:25:56,305 --> 00:25:57,545
By Giuseppe Verdi.

428
00:25:57,723 --> 00:25:59,964
Chalked on the door
of the goods wagon

429
00:26:00,142 --> 00:26:01,382
where we found Evelyn Balfour.

430
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,891
"One kiss more."

431
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:04,393
His last words, Morse says.

432
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:06,395
You mean Shakespeare's <i>Othello?</i>

433
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:07,930
The blackamoor?

434
00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:09,564
That's him, sir, yes.

435
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:11,442
Evelyn Balfour
was strangled, sir,

436
00:26:11,612 --> 00:26:13,523
like Desdemona, Othello's wife.

437
00:26:13,697 --> 00:26:15,497
There was a handkerchief
stuffed in her mouth,

438
00:26:15,616 --> 00:26:17,198
embroidered with the initial

439
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:21,326
I thought we had someone
for the Balfour killing.

440
00:26:21,497 --> 00:26:23,204
All right, Morse.

441
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:24,579
As you were.

442
00:26:32,007 --> 00:26:33,668
Opera?

443
00:26:33,842 --> 00:26:35,549
Good God!

444
00:26:35,719 --> 00:26:37,505
A man would have to be

445
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:40,341
some sort of raving lunatic
to go to such lengths.

446
00:26:40,516 --> 00:26:42,132
If he is a lunatic, sir,

447
00:26:42,309 --> 00:26:44,016
I'd have to say he's
a very clever one.

448
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:46,678
If you have no objection,

449
00:26:46,855 --> 00:26:49,813
I'd like to second Morse from
General Duties for the duration.

450
00:26:49,983 --> 00:26:51,269
Is that necessary?

451
00:26:51,443 --> 00:26:52,563
Specialist knowledge, sir...

452
00:26:52,736 --> 00:26:54,727
It comes to this sort of thing.

453
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:56,566
Very well.

454
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,356
But for the duration
of the inquiry only.

455
00:26:58,534 --> 00:26:59,865
I don't want him getting ideas.

456
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:02,322
That's kind of what
I'm counting on.

457
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:05,162
Sir.

458
00:27:12,381 --> 00:27:15,248
Usual time in the morning,
is it?

459
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:17,291
No, you're all right.

460
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:19,130
Morse can fetch me.

461
00:27:19,304 --> 00:27:21,215
You're off General Duties
till further notice.

462
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:22,972
8:15 sharp,
all right?

463
00:27:40,117 --> 00:27:42,074
(phone ringing)

464
00:27:44,621 --> 00:27:45,861
Morse.

465
00:27:47,457 --> 00:27:48,788
Hello?

466
00:27:52,421 --> 00:27:53,911
Hello?

467
00:27:55,883 --> 00:27:57,544
(dial tone)

468
00:28:07,477 --> 00:28:09,138
Seen this?

469
00:28:09,313 --> 00:28:11,350
Late edition.

470
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:18,022
How the hell
have they come by that?

471
00:28:18,197 --> 00:28:20,939
“Reliable sources, “ I expect.

472
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:25,492
Are you serious?

473
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:27,118
Put it this way, matey.

474
00:28:27,289 --> 00:28:29,326
For a bloke who puts it away
the way he does,

475
00:28:29,499 --> 00:28:31,536
Jakes is never anything less
than flush, is he?

476
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:33,576
Anyroad.

477
00:28:33,754 --> 00:28:35,244
Get 'em in, then.

478
00:28:35,422 --> 00:28:38,960
I thought we might have a go
through the Fitton's.

479
00:28:40,802 --> 00:28:42,482
You'll never get your
sergeant's otherwise.

480
00:28:42,596 --> 00:28:45,839
I was gonna push off, actually,
if it's all the same.

481
00:28:46,016 --> 00:28:47,222
It's your round.

482
00:28:47,392 --> 00:28:48,882
I'll owe you one.

483
00:28:49,061 --> 00:28:50,677
Right.

484
00:28:56,193 --> 00:28:58,400
I don't suppose your aunt

485
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:01,437
might have mentioned this
Mr. Nimmo to your brother?

486
00:29:01,615 --> 00:29:04,903
She may, but if she did,
he never told me.

487
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:06,693
I'd, uh...

488
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:09,658
I'd like to speak with him.

489
00:29:09,831 --> 00:29:13,369
I'm afraid he's very busy
at the moment.

490
00:29:13,543 --> 00:29:15,329
Of course.

491
00:29:15,504 --> 00:29:18,622
At his convenience.

492
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:20,381
Well, good night.

493
00:29:20,550 --> 00:29:22,310
I'm sorry to have
troubled you, Miss Madison.

494
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:55,575
(opera playing on record player)

495
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:38,250
(music stops)

496
00:31:00,150 --> 00:31:01,561
(doorbell rings)

497
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:06,065
Oh, uh...

498
00:31:06,239 --> 00:31:07,320
Dad!

499
00:31:09,576 --> 00:31:12,159
Well, don't stand on ceremony.

500
00:31:14,122 --> 00:31:16,739
It's probably best
if I wait in the car.

501
00:31:16,917 --> 00:31:19,534
I think it's probably best
if you just do as you're told.

502
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:21,827
(laughs)

503
00:31:25,342 --> 00:31:26,832
You've come in, then.

504
00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:29,547
I'm impressed.

505
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:31,632
Most of Pop's it takes
at least six months.

506
00:31:31,807 --> 00:31:33,138
That lump is my brother <i>Sam.</i>

507
00:31:33,308 --> 00:31:34,389
You want a cuppa?

508
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:35,959
No, I'm fine, thanks,
Miss Thursday.

509
00:31:36,103 --> 00:31:37,218
Miss Thursday!

510
00:31:37,396 --> 00:31:39,057
She gets enough of that
down the bank.

511
00:31:39,231 --> 00:31:42,815
Start calling her it at home
and she'll get airs.

512
00:31:42,984 --> 00:31:44,645
That's Joan, love.

513
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:46,857
It's one of Dad's, Mum.

514
00:31:47,030 --> 00:31:49,397
Well, Ididn't think
he was from the pools.

515
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:51,406
Sit yourself down,
he won't be a tick.

516
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:54,701
So.

517
00:31:54,871 --> 00:31:56,953
What do they call you, then?

518
00:31:57,124 --> 00:31:58,410
Morse.

519
00:31:58,583 --> 00:31:59,618
Morse? Morse what?

520
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:01,124
Morse Code.

521
00:32:01,294 --> 00:32:01,954
<i>Th-dxt-dam'!</i>

522
00:32:02,129 --> 00:32:02,914
You still here, Joan?

523
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:04,249
Morning, sir.

524
00:32:04,423 --> 00:32:05,783
I thought it was 20 past,
your bus.

525
00:32:05,807 --> 00:32:07,331
I'm just going.

526
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:09,420
Sam, fetch the bins out
before you go to work.

527
00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:11,255
Don't leave it to your mother.

528
00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:12,430
Right.

529
00:32:12,472 --> 00:32:13,553
We're off.

530
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:16,094
Here, let's have a look at you.

531
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:17,383
Come home safe.

532
00:32:17,561 --> 00:32:19,518
WIN: There, then,
you'll do, Fred.

533
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:26,768
(playing piano)

534
00:32:29,865 --> 00:32:31,697
(playing roughly)

535
00:32:31,867 --> 00:32:34,700
(stops playing in frustration)

536
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:38,363
It went well this morning?

537
00:32:38,540 --> 00:32:39,905
You haven't said.

538
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:41,744
I don't want to talk about it.

539
00:32:41,918 --> 00:32:43,329
But it's helping.

540
00:32:43,503 --> 00:32:45,369
Phillip?

541
00:32:45,547 --> 00:32:47,754
What did that policeman want
last night?

542
00:32:47,924 --> 00:32:49,631
I told you.

543
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,641
He's investigating
what happened to Aunt Grace.

544
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:53,134
Why did he come to the house?

545
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:55,842
I don't like people
coming to the house.

546
00:32:56,016 --> 00:32:58,132
He was asking about someone
called Nimmo...

547
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:00,677
A journalist of some sort.

548
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:04,138
(knocking)

549
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:06,478
Yeah?

550
00:33:06,651 --> 00:33:09,359
The bank's come through with
an address for Mr. Nimmo, sir.

551
00:33:09,529 --> 00:33:11,645
Some place called Drover's Rest.
Good.

552
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:13,783
Thursday, I'd like to introduce
Dr. Daniel Cronyn.

553
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:16,442
Dr. Cronyn, Detective
Inspector Thursday.

554
00:33:16,620 --> 00:33:17,951
How do you do?

555
00:33:18,121 --> 00:33:20,988
Dr. Cronyn is a psychiatrist
in private practice.

556
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:22,372
He's made a particular study

557
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:24,408
of these kind of deranged
individuals.

558
00:33:24,586 --> 00:33:26,867
I thought you might benefit
from his professional opinion.

559
00:33:28,048 --> 00:33:30,665
The perpetrator of these crimes

560
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:34,051
clearly exhibits a profoundly
disturbed psyche.

561
00:33:34,221 --> 00:33:36,178
Indeed.

562
00:33:39,601 --> 00:33:41,681
I'm sure I'm not telling you
anything you don't know.

563
00:33:41,770 --> 00:33:43,477
What may be less obvious
to you, perhaps,

564
00:33:43,647 --> 00:33:46,059
is that he will also be
high-functioning,

565
00:33:46,233 --> 00:33:47,564
which, I regret to say,

566
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:50,852
will make him very difficult
to apprehend.

567
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:52,611
But not impossible?

568
00:33:52,781 --> 00:33:54,133
Thankfully, such cases are few
and far between over here,

569
00:33:54,157 --> 00:33:56,524
but my colleagues
in the United States

570
00:33:56,701 --> 00:33:59,113
believe this kind of killer is
something of a coming trend.

571
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:00,072
A trend?

572
00:34:00,247 --> 00:34:01,078
Indeed.

573
00:34:01,248 --> 00:34:02,363
Within the last ten years,

574
00:34:02,541 --> 00:34:04,123
we've had the Starkweather case,

575
00:34:04,292 --> 00:34:05,782
the bodies in the swamp
at Fairvale

576
00:34:05,961 --> 00:34:08,202
and DeSalvo in Boston.

577
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:09,996
THURS DAY:
What's he after?

578
00:34:10,173 --> 00:34:11,914
What's behind him?

579
00:34:12,092 --> 00:34:13,548
Impossible to say.

580
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:16,631
Other than that he conforms
to the triad personality

581
00:34:16,805 --> 00:34:19,638
of narcissism, Machiavellianism
and psychopathy

582
00:34:19,808 --> 00:34:22,345
posited by McDonald
a couple of years back.

583
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:26,387
I'd expect him to be
highly intelligent.

584
00:34:26,565 --> 00:34:28,285
Though this may not necessarily
be reflected

585
00:34:28,309 --> 00:34:29,940
in academic achievements.

586
00:34:30,110 --> 00:34:30,941
How old?

587
00:34:31,111 --> 00:34:32,567
Mid-203 to mid-303.

588
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:34,023
40 at a push.

589
00:34:34,197 --> 00:34:36,859
BRIGHT:
There's no possibility

590
00:34:37,033 --> 00:34:39,445
this could be the end of it?

591
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:44,618
Gentlemen, you're
confronting a mind

592
00:34:44,791 --> 00:34:52,039
unconstrained by notions
of guilt, regret,

593
00:34:52,215 --> 00:34:58,587
right and wrong, good and evil.

594
00:34:58,763 --> 00:35:01,551
So far as he's concerned,

595
00:35:01,725 --> 00:35:03,261
we're just prey.

596
00:35:04,728 --> 00:35:05,968
Prey?

597
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:08,137
In his eyes.

598
00:35:08,315 --> 00:35:11,023
Kine reared to slaughter.

599
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:14,275
We'll stop him.

600
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:15,527
How?

601
00:35:15,697 --> 00:35:16,977
You think you're going to appeal

602
00:35:17,073 --> 00:35:19,781
to his nobler instincts,
his better angels?

603
00:35:24,706 --> 00:35:26,913
He doesn't have any.

604
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:31,919
The only thing I can tell you
with absolute certainty

605
00:35:32,088 --> 00:35:35,501
is he will kill again.

606
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,942
(horn honking)

607
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:02,816
(engine shuts off)

608
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,576
Good afternoon.

609
00:36:04,746 --> 00:36:06,532
Afternoon.

610
00:36:06,706 --> 00:36:08,288
We're looking for Drover's Rest.

611
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:09,744
Some sort of farm, I believe.

612
00:36:09,918 --> 00:36:11,454
Slaughteryard.

613
00:36:11,628 --> 00:36:12,743
Old Ben Nimmo's place.

614
00:36:15,256 --> 00:36:17,918
Mr. Nimmo wouldn't be
a journalist, then?

615
00:36:18,093 --> 00:36:21,256
Not unless he writes
about pet food.

616
00:36:21,429 --> 00:36:23,466
I see.

617
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:27,220
Could you point us
in the right direction?

618
00:36:27,394 --> 00:36:28,794
What do you want
with Old Ben, then?

619
00:36:28,818 --> 00:36:30,556
Police business.

620
00:36:30,730 --> 00:36:32,266
City Police.

621
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,477
Are we far?

622
00:36:34,651 --> 00:36:36,371
You've come past the turning
about two mile.

623
00:36:36,486 --> 00:36:39,820
Well, thank you, Mister...

624
00:36:39,989 --> 00:36:40,820
Oa ks hott.

625
00:36:40,990 --> 00:36:42,606
Lemuel.

626
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:45,533
You won't find him there.

627
00:36:47,789 --> 00:36:49,575
Gone away.

628
00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:51,469
I haven't seen him
since Ada died, his wife.

629
00:36:51,493 --> 00:36:54,247
Gone to his boy, maybe.

630
00:36:54,421 --> 00:36:55,786
Canada.

631
00:37:18,778 --> 00:37:20,769
(knocking)

632
00:37:20,947 --> 00:37:22,312
Mr. Nimmo?

633
00:37:24,868 --> 00:37:25,949
Take it down.

634
00:37:27,662 --> 00:37:29,152
(grunting)

635
00:38:12,707 --> 00:38:16,792
You go up there,
I'll go down here.

636
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:50,239
(opera music begins playing)

637
00:39:24,279 --> 00:39:27,067
(opera music continues)

638
00:39:41,337 --> 00:39:43,078
(music stops)

639
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,882
It's from <i>Aida,</i> sir.

640
00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:49,884
Radames' final aria.

641
00:39:52,515 --> 00:39:54,222
Just before he's entombed alive.

642
00:39:57,562 --> 00:39:59,082
Cement mixer in the yard,
wasn't there?

643
00:40:10,325 --> 00:40:12,111
That looks new.

644
00:40:44,233 --> 00:40:46,514
We've had a patrol round this
flat leased in Nimmo's name,

645
00:40:46,538 --> 00:40:47,538
the one you went to.

646
00:40:47,695 --> 00:40:48,975
Nothing there
but a record player

647
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:50,233
and a stack of LPs.

648
00:40:50,406 --> 00:40:53,774
It's not been occupied
so far as the lads can tell.

649
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:56,364
ENDEAVOUR:
I didn't think it would've been.

650
00:40:56,537 --> 00:40:57,823
Look sharp, then, Morse.

651
00:40:57,997 --> 00:41:00,204
It's the competition.

652
00:41:00,375 --> 00:41:03,584
Somebody with even more
crackpot ideas than you.

653
00:41:09,676 --> 00:41:11,713
Buried alive?

654
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:13,246
Nothing quite so quick,
I'm afraid.

655
00:41:13,304 --> 00:41:14,304
This was immurement.

656
00:41:14,347 --> 00:41:16,964
Walling up.

657
00:41:17,141 --> 00:41:18,472
Cause of death would have been

658
00:41:18,643 --> 00:41:20,133
more likely dehydration
than asphyxia.

659
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:21,927
How long?

660
00:41:22,105 --> 00:41:23,105
For some days.

661
00:41:23,189 --> 00:41:25,305
My God!

662
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:27,975
Then as the organs of the body
began to fail...

663
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:29,152
Delirium.

664
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,981
Madness.

665
00:41:31,155 --> 00:41:34,773
One can only pray
his heart gave out first.

666
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:39,532
Would you excuse me?

667
00:41:43,626 --> 00:41:46,914
There's wickedness
in this, Morse.

668
00:41:47,088 --> 00:41:49,876
I can understand gain,
jealousy, revenge, even.

669
00:41:50,049 --> 00:41:55,089
But killing just
for the sheer hell of it?

670
00:41:55,263 --> 00:41:57,880
That's something new.

671
00:42:03,938 --> 00:42:05,394
WOMAN:
<i>Hello,</i> Oxford Mail.

672
00:42:05,565 --> 00:42:06,646
How can I help you?

673
00:42:06,816 --> 00:42:10,184
(phones ringing)

674
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,360
(sighs)

675
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:24,698
What's this?

676
00:42:24,876 --> 00:42:27,208
Found on the victim, sir.

677
00:42:27,378 --> 00:42:30,040
It's from The <i>Mikado,</i>
KoKo's song.

678
00:42:30,214 --> 00:42:32,922
“As someday it may happen
that a victim might be found.“

679
00:42:33,092 --> 00:42:35,584
I suppose he thinks
that's funny.

680
00:42:35,762 --> 00:42:37,673
It's also known as
“The List Song, “ sir.

681
00:42:37,847 --> 00:42:39,588
List?

682
00:42:39,766 --> 00:42:41,686
KoKo was the Lord High
Executioner to the Mikado.

683
00:42:41,851 --> 00:42:44,388
<i>He read 3 “st
of society offenders</i>

684
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:46,178
he said he was going to execute.

685
00:42:46,355 --> 00:42:49,063
The chorus runs,
"He's got 'em on the list

686
00:42:49,233 --> 00:42:50,769
and they'll none of 'em
be missed."

687
00:42:50,943 --> 00:42:52,900
Our three victims, presumably.

688
00:42:53,071 --> 00:42:54,937
THURSDAY: How many more
has he got in mind?

689
00:42:55,114 --> 00:42:56,195
That's what worries me.

690
00:42:56,365 --> 00:42:57,805
JAKES: Something you should
see, sir.

691
00:42:57,829 --> 00:42:58,829
Through here.

692
00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:02,068
You too, Morse.

693
00:43:12,006 --> 00:43:13,917
Looks like you've got
an admirer.

694
00:43:20,348 --> 00:43:24,057
There was a musical score
stuffed in Mr. Nimmo's pockets.

695
00:43:24,227 --> 00:43:27,720
“The List Song, “ apparently.

696
00:43:27,897 --> 00:43:29,387
Doctor?

697
00:43:29,565 --> 00:43:30,976
Oh, no.

698
00:43:31,150 --> 00:43:33,812
For a moment, I...

699
00:43:33,986 --> 00:43:35,568
But it can't be, I'm just...

700
00:43:35,738 --> 00:43:39,447
There was a...

701
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,483
a patient.

702
00:43:41,661 --> 00:43:43,743
I met him in the early '50$,

703
00:43:43,913 --> 00:43:48,123
when I was working at Bellevue
Sanatorium under Dr. Elias.

704
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:51,785
He'd have been about 20 then.

705
00:43:51,963 --> 00:43:53,829
Who would?

706
00:43:54,006 --> 00:43:56,213
A young man called...

707
00:43:56,384 --> 00:43:59,422
Miller.

708
00:43:59,595 --> 00:44:02,212
Keith Miller.

709
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:05,928
He was some sort
of musical child prodigy.

710
00:44:06,102 --> 00:44:10,266
Quite brilliant,
by all accounts.

711
00:44:12,525 --> 00:44:14,641
But on the morning
of his 15th birthday,

712
00:44:14,819 --> 00:44:17,732
he took an axe from the woodshed

713
00:44:17,905 --> 00:44:21,569
and buried it in the back
of his mother's skull.

714
00:44:21,742 --> 00:44:25,030
What happened to him?

715
00:44:25,204 --> 00:44:29,448
"Guilty but insane."

716
00:44:29,625 --> 00:44:32,743
He was sentenced to be detained
at His Majesty's pleasure.

717
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,457
What makes you think
he's connected?

718
00:44:35,631 --> 00:44:37,747
When he was in therapy,

719
00:44:37,925 --> 00:44:42,135
he described horribly violent,
murderous fantasies...

720
00:44:42,305 --> 00:44:44,091
What he would
and wouldn't like to do

721
00:44:44,265 --> 00:44:45,801
to various members of staff

722
00:44:45,975 --> 00:44:47,295
who'd rubbed him up
the wrong way.

723
00:44:49,896 --> 00:44:51,887
It was a pet phrase of his.

724
00:44:52,064 --> 00:44:54,271
“I've got a little list.“

725
00:44:54,442 --> 00:44:56,729
Where is he now?

726
00:44:56,903 --> 00:45:00,237
I seem to remember a colleague
saying he'd been released,

727
00:45:00,406 --> 00:45:03,865
cured about five
or six years ago.

728
00:45:04,035 --> 00:45:05,491
The point is...

729
00:45:08,623 --> 00:45:10,580
He was an Oxford boy.

730
00:45:28,267 --> 00:45:29,382
BRIGHT:
Bad juju, Thursday.

731
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,675
THURSDAY:
Yes, sir.

732
00:45:30,853 --> 00:45:32,435
Get to the bottom of it,
and quick.

733
00:45:32,605 --> 00:45:34,141
I'm relying on you.

734
00:45:34,315 --> 00:45:35,315
Morse!

735
00:45:35,399 --> 00:45:36,514
You're off General Duties

736
00:45:36,692 --> 00:45:38,353
because I'm told
this is your area.

737
00:45:38,527 --> 00:45:39,938
See you prove yourself useful.

738
00:45:40,112 --> 00:45:41,898
Sir.

739
00:45:42,073 --> 00:45:44,940
All right, Morse?

740
00:45:45,117 --> 00:45:47,905
Why has he got my picture
on the wall?

741
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:50,366
It just tickled his fancy.

742
00:45:50,539 --> 00:45:52,325
I wouldn't read
too much into it.

743
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:54,036
He's just trying
to get us rattled.

744
00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:55,746
It's working.

745
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,035
Then don't let it.

746
00:45:57,213 --> 00:45:58,954
I need you thinking straight.

747
00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:04,251
FRAZIL:
It was delivered around 11:00.

748
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:07,762
<i>K“? 3 - opp. 0:1</i>

749
00:46:07,932 --> 00:46:10,139
That's us, I suppose,
Oxford City Police.

750
00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:13,768
Three-nil to the Opera Phantom.

751
00:46:13,938 --> 00:46:15,218
That was rather
my reading of it.

752
00:46:16,524 --> 00:46:17,605
There's been another one?

753
00:46:17,775 --> 00:46:18,856
Actually, Miss Frazil,

754
00:46:19,026 --> 00:46:21,108
I'd urge you in the strongest
possible terms

755
00:46:21,279 --> 00:46:23,862
not to make this communication
known to the public.

756
00:46:24,031 --> 00:46:26,318
As a favor.

757
00:46:26,492 --> 00:46:28,403
This person we're after

758
00:46:28,577 --> 00:46:30,534
is clearly working
to some sort of plan.

759
00:46:30,705 --> 00:46:34,619
I'd hope by your agreeing not
to publish that we might derail

760
00:46:34,792 --> 00:46:36,703
whatever scheme it is
he's got in mind,

761
00:46:36,877 --> 00:46:38,038
or delay it, at least.

762
00:46:38,212 --> 00:46:41,079
24 hours.

763
00:46:41,257 --> 00:46:42,873
After that...

764
00:46:43,050 --> 00:46:44,711
Pray that's enough.

765
00:46:44,885 --> 00:46:46,250
Morse.

766
00:46:51,559 --> 00:46:54,176
(ice cream truck music playing)

767
00:46:54,353 --> 00:46:55,434
I heard it.

768
00:46:57,315 --> 00:46:58,851
Put your sandals on, then.

769
00:47:18,753 --> 00:47:19,868
(sighs)

770
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,081
Every...

771
00:47:59,251 --> 00:48:00,787
Good...

772
00:48:00,961 --> 00:48:04,329
Boy...

773
00:48:04,507 --> 00:48:06,999
Deserves Favors...

774
00:48:12,598 --> 00:48:14,965
I've spoken to Bellevue, sir.

775
00:48:15,142 --> 00:48:16,974
Seems there was a fire there,
three years ago,

776
00:48:17,144 --> 00:48:18,930
destroyed several wings
of the sanatorium,

777
00:48:19,105 --> 00:48:20,385
together with
the records office.

778
00:48:20,409 --> 00:48:22,393
Surely if this happened
locally...?

779
00:48:22,566 --> 00:48:24,807
Nothing on our files, sir.

780
00:48:24,985 --> 00:48:26,271
I've put in a request to County.

781
00:48:26,445 --> 00:48:28,607
Sir.

782
00:48:28,781 --> 00:48:29,987
Ah, our resident expert.

783
00:48:30,157 --> 00:48:31,488
Opera!

784
00:48:31,637 --> 00:48:32,677
I don't think the killer's

785
00:48:32,701 --> 00:48:34,101
choosing his victims
at random, sir.

786
00:48:34,125 --> 00:48:35,125
There may be a pattern.

787
00:48:35,210 --> 00:48:36,035
A pattern?

788
00:48:36,205 --> 00:48:37,240
To the killings.

789
00:48:37,415 --> 00:48:38,530
I can't be sure, but...

790
00:48:38,707 --> 00:48:40,448
Every Good Boy Deserves Favor.

791
00:48:40,626 --> 00:48:41,741
Every what?

792
00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:44,239
It's a mnemonic for remembering
the notes on a treble clef.

793
00:48:44,263 --> 00:48:45,263
The lines, at least.

794
00:48:45,381 --> 00:48:46,746
Every Good Boy Deserves Favor.

795
00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:49,040
E-G-B-D-F.

796
00:48:49,218 --> 00:48:50,879
Evelyn, Grace, Ben.

797
00:48:51,053 --> 00:48:52,794
That it?

798
00:48:52,972 --> 00:48:54,929
So the next one
will start with a D.

799
00:49:06,193 --> 00:49:08,184
(music playing from truck)

800
00:49:15,077 --> 00:49:16,158
Debbie?

801
00:49:23,169 --> 00:49:24,409
Debbie?

802
00:49:27,756 --> 00:49:30,123
Debbie!

803
00:49:31,510 --> 00:49:32,591
Debbie!

804
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:39,807
Debbie Snow, sir.

805
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:41,012
Six years old.

806
00:49:41,187 --> 00:49:42,747
Taken from the street
outside her house.

807
00:49:42,855 --> 00:49:45,597
Description's been circulated
to all cars and foot patrols.

808
00:49:45,774 --> 00:49:46,980
It's him.

809
00:49:47,151 --> 00:49:48,232
We can't say that,

810
00:49:48,402 --> 00:49:50,063
just because her name
begins with a D.

811
00:49:50,237 --> 00:49:51,357
There's more than that, sir.

812
00:49:51,447 --> 00:49:54,235
The translator from Lonsdale
identified the score

813
00:49:54,408 --> 00:49:57,070
sent to Miss Frazil as
<i>Snegurochka</i> by Rimsky-Korsakov.

814
00:49:57,244 --> 00:50:00,703
<i>Snegurochka</i> is Russian
for “snow maiden.“

815
00:50:00,873 --> 00:50:01,913
Somebody dies, presumably.

816
00:50:02,082 --> 00:50:03,117
The Snow Maiden herself.

817
00:50:03,292 --> 00:50:06,535
She melts at dawn
as the sun rises.

818
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:09,374
Something stuffed down in
the toe, according to Uniform.

819
00:50:20,017 --> 00:50:23,100
"No alibi err badly."

820
00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:24,556
What the hell does that mean?

821
00:50:24,730 --> 00:50:26,450
Maybe he's saying
we've made a mistake, sir.

822
00:50:26,565 --> 00:50:29,045
One of the people we've seen in
relation to the other killings.

823
00:50:29,069 --> 00:50:32,269
Someone without an alibi, or...

824
00:50:32,446 --> 00:50:34,858
"Near by Libra idol"?

825
00:50:35,032 --> 00:50:36,363
Some kind of direction, perhaps?

826
00:50:36,534 --> 00:50:40,573
He's setting us a test.

827
00:50:40,746 --> 00:50:42,487
What sort of test?

828
00:50:42,665 --> 00:50:44,545
It's a game... solve the puzzle,
save the child.

829
00:50:55,761 --> 00:50:59,550
"Near by Libra idol"?

830
00:50:59,723 --> 00:51:02,055
Libra is the Scales, sir.

831
00:51:02,226 --> 00:51:04,433
Justice, maybe?

832
00:51:04,603 --> 00:51:06,810
The idol could be a statue
by the Law Courts.

833
00:51:06,981 --> 00:51:08,421
THURSDAY:
Think you can you crack it?

834
00:51:08,445 --> 00:51:09,271
I can try.

835
00:51:09,441 --> 00:51:10,272
JAKES:
Try?

836
00:51:10,442 --> 00:51:11,603
You need to do more than try.

837
00:51:11,777 --> 00:51:13,438
All right, Jakes, that'll do.

838
00:51:13,612 --> 00:51:14,898
Meant to be the expert,
isn't he?

839
00:51:16,824 --> 00:51:17,939
Laughing-boy's pin-up.

840
00:51:18,117 --> 00:51:20,233
I said that'll do.

841
00:51:20,411 --> 00:51:21,901
I'm thinking of the kiddie, sir.

842
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,537
Us turning on each other's
going to help find her, is it?

843
00:51:24,707 --> 00:51:25,868
Exactly what he wants.

844
00:51:26,041 --> 00:51:27,873
It's Morse these messages
are meant for, sir.

845
00:51:28,043 --> 00:51:29,043
We all know that.

846
00:51:29,211 --> 00:51:31,248
He's seen his picture
in the paper.

847
00:51:31,422 --> 00:51:33,959
One bloody misfit
talking to another.

848
00:51:34,133 --> 00:51:35,919
About your business, Sergeant.

849
00:51:41,557 --> 00:51:42,968
He's right.

850
00:51:43,142 --> 00:51:44,724
If I can't crack this...

851
00:51:44,893 --> 00:51:47,885
It's not all on you, Morse,
whatever Sergeant Jakes says.

852
00:51:48,063 --> 00:51:50,395
The Snow Maiden melts, sir...

853
00:51:50,566 --> 00:51:51,772
at dawn.

854
00:51:51,942 --> 00:51:54,934
However he intends to bring
that about, by fire...

855
00:51:55,112 --> 00:51:57,069
We've less than 12 hours
to find her.

856
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,446
Then we'd better get a move on.

857
00:52:19,887 --> 00:52:22,470
(phone rings)

858
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:23,880
Morse.

859
00:52:24,058 --> 00:52:25,799
(silence)

860
00:52:34,818 --> 00:52:36,024
Where is she?

861
00:52:36,195 --> 00:52:40,154
(silence)

862
00:52:40,324 --> 00:52:42,406
(phone hangs up, line goes dead)

863
00:52:46,789 --> 00:52:48,279
(softly):
“Libra idol.“

864
00:52:55,547 --> 00:52:56,628
Fool!

865
00:53:08,227 --> 00:53:09,227
Hello, sir.

866
00:53:09,311 --> 00:53:10,831
Detective Constable Morse,
City Police.

867
00:53:10,938 --> 00:53:12,554
I'd like to know

868
00:53:12,731 --> 00:53:15,268
if anyone's requested the score
for The <i>Snow</i> Maiden.

869
00:53:15,442 --> 00:53:17,353
Rims ky-Ko rsakov.

870
00:53:17,528 --> 00:53:18,768
Is that the Western score?

871
00:53:18,946 --> 00:53:19,731
Mm-hmm.

872
00:53:19,905 --> 00:53:21,487
Give me a moment.

873
00:53:35,003 --> 00:53:36,789
Yes, indeed.

874
00:53:36,964 --> 00:53:38,500
It was brought up
from the stacks

875
00:53:38,674 --> 00:53:42,042
on the 17th of last month
for Mr. Miller.

876
00:53:42,219 --> 00:53:45,837
Miller?

877
00:53:46,014 --> 00:53:47,254
Keith Miller?

878
00:53:47,433 --> 00:53:48,514
That's right.

879
00:53:52,646 --> 00:53:54,478
Is he a regular reader?

880
00:53:54,648 --> 00:53:56,855
This last year, yes, indeed.

881
00:53:57,025 --> 00:53:59,232
As a matter of fact,

882
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:01,895
a fresh set of scores have
just been delivered to him.

883
00:54:02,072 --> 00:54:03,813
He's here now?

884
00:54:03,991 --> 00:54:06,028
He arrived not quarter
of an hour ago.

885
00:54:09,872 --> 00:54:11,613
Close the library.
I beg your pardon?

886
00:54:11,790 --> 00:54:13,497
I need you to seal the building.

887
00:54:13,667 --> 00:54:15,499
Doors, windows, fire escapes.

888
00:54:15,669 --> 00:54:17,159
I don't have the authority.

889
00:54:17,337 --> 00:54:18,337
I'm a police officer.

890
00:54:18,422 --> 00:54:21,710
That's all the authority
you need.

891
00:54:21,884 --> 00:54:23,324
A child's life stands
in the balance.

892
00:54:23,348 --> 00:54:24,170
Please.

893
00:54:24,344 --> 00:54:25,425
Miss Crane,

894
00:54:25,596 --> 00:54:29,806
will you and Miss Thornhill
close the library?

895
00:54:29,975 --> 00:54:31,636
Close the library,
Mr. Straker?

896
00:54:31,810 --> 00:54:33,596
Quickly and quietly,
if you please.

897
00:54:33,771 --> 00:54:34,932
What about the readers?

898
00:54:35,105 --> 00:54:36,105
They're to remain inside.

899
00:54:36,190 --> 00:54:37,305
He's from the police.

900
00:54:37,483 --> 00:54:39,349
Step lively, now.

901
00:54:53,081 --> 00:54:54,537
STRAKER:
Ah... he's gone.

902
00:54:54,708 --> 00:54:56,198
He was sitting there.

903
00:54:57,878 --> 00:55:00,210
The man who was sitting here,
did you see where he went?

904
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,461
Is there a way out from here?

905
00:55:04,635 --> 00:55:06,091
Not up there, no.

906
00:55:06,261 --> 00:55:09,344
And you won't get him if he's
gone down into the stacks.

907
00:55:09,515 --> 00:55:11,115
There's another five
stories underground.

908
00:55:11,293 --> 00:55:12,373
The corridors go for miles.

909
00:55:12,502 --> 00:55:14,008
What about exits?

910
00:55:14,186 --> 00:55:15,221
The bicycle chain.

911
00:55:15,395 --> 00:55:16,875
It's a pulley railway
under the Broad.

912
00:55:16,899 --> 00:55:17,686
Call 999.

913
00:55:17,856 --> 00:55:19,688
Tell them DC Morse
from Cowley Station

914
00:55:19,858 --> 00:55:21,690
needs immediate assistance
at the Bodleian.

915
00:55:56,270 --> 00:55:57,270
(footsteps)

916
00:55:57,437 --> 00:55:58,268
Police.

917
00:55:58,438 --> 00:56:00,679
Leave... now.

918
00:56:41,940 --> 00:56:43,396
(yells)

919
00:56:54,745 --> 00:56:58,363
(groaning)

920
00:57:14,325 --> 00:57:15,325
STRANGE:
Morse?

921
00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:16,180
(groans with frustration)

922
00:57:16,350 --> 00:57:17,556
Morse?

923
00:57:17,726 --> 00:57:18,431
Did you see him?

924
00:57:18,602 --> 00:57:19,602
Which way did he go?

925
00:57:19,645 --> 00:57:20,645
See who?

926
00:57:20,771 --> 00:57:22,227
Him! The suspect!

927
00:57:22,397 --> 00:57:23,102
You all right, matey?

928
00:57:23,273 --> 00:57:25,139
Huh?

929
00:57:25,317 --> 00:57:26,853
Your shirt...

930
00:57:30,530 --> 00:57:32,020
Over here, man down!

931
00:57:33,742 --> 00:57:35,153
All right, mate.
You're okay, matey.

932
00:57:37,913 --> 00:57:39,393
Don't just stand there,
get some help!

933
00:57:39,539 --> 00:57:40,950
STRANGE:
All right, matey.

934
00:57:41,124 --> 00:57:42,124
Ring the station.

935
00:57:42,167 --> 00:57:43,874
Right.

936
00:57:44,044 --> 00:57:46,456
Morse, I am going to put some
pressure on this, all right?

937
00:57:46,630 --> 00:57:47,461
(cries out)

938
00:57:47,631 --> 00:57:50,464
I know, mate, I know, I know.

939
00:57:51,593 --> 00:57:53,960
Not too deep, thankfully.

940
00:57:54,137 --> 00:57:56,720
But a clean out like that'll
be a bugger to knit.

941
00:57:56,890 --> 00:57:59,598
It's far better gashing yourself
on something jagged.

942
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:00,803
I'll bear that in mind

943
00:58:00,978 --> 00:58:03,470
next time I chase a lunatic
under the Bodleian.

944
00:58:03,647 --> 00:58:05,103
What led you there?

945
00:58:05,273 --> 00:58:06,273
An anagram.

946
00:58:06,316 --> 00:58:07,806
Well, double anagram.

947
00:58:07,985 --> 00:58:09,896
“No alibi err badly.

948
00:58:10,070 --> 00:58:11,481
"Near by libra idol."

949
00:58:11,655 --> 00:58:13,271
Both phrases use
the same letters.

950
00:58:13,448 --> 00:58:14,448
Bodleian Library.

951
00:58:14,616 --> 00:58:16,277
Cheers!
Your health, surely!

952
00:58:20,664 --> 00:58:24,032
It's going to be tight and quite
tender for the next few days.

953
00:58:24,209 --> 00:58:26,871
80... bed rest.

954
00:58:27,045 --> 00:58:31,790
And my finest Broderie Anglaise
notwithstanding,

955
00:58:31,967 --> 00:58:34,299
don't exert yourself overmuch.

956
00:58:34,469 --> 00:58:35,709
Well, the girl's still missing.

957
00:58:35,846 --> 00:58:36,846
I've got to get back.

958
00:58:36,972 --> 00:58:38,462
Morse...

959
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,304
If he'd decided to stab
and not to slash,

960
00:58:42,477 --> 00:58:46,220
I'd presently be getting more
acquainted with your anatomy

961
00:58:46,398 --> 00:58:48,480
than either of us
might care for.

962
00:58:48,650 --> 00:58:52,609
Soon as not be heaving
your tripes into a tray,

963
00:58:52,779 --> 00:58:54,065
if it's all the same.

964
00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:55,570
Not just yet at least.

965
00:59:00,495 --> 00:59:02,111
JAKES:
Uniform recovered this lot

966
00:59:02,289 --> 00:59:04,656
from a bin on Catte Street
by the library.

967
00:59:04,833 --> 00:59:08,497
Another one of those
score things.

968
00:59:12,632 --> 00:59:14,873
"Some coppers have no brains.

969
00:59:15,052 --> 00:59:17,760
All coppers are bastards."

970
00:59:25,395 --> 00:59:28,137
I want it back,
clean, starched and pressed.

971
00:59:31,193 --> 00:59:32,353
You sure you're fit for duty?

972
00:59:32,486 --> 00:59:33,486
Sure.

973
00:59:33,528 --> 00:59:36,816
It looks much worse
than it feels.

974
00:59:40,118 --> 00:59:42,029
What did I miss?

975
00:59:42,204 --> 00:59:43,740
The Ice Cream Man's been found.

976
00:59:43,914 --> 00:59:45,700
He thinks... only thinks, mind...

977
00:59:45,874 --> 00:59:48,491
He saw a girl answering Debbie's
description talking to a man.

978
00:59:50,962 --> 00:59:54,296
Beard, glasses, walking stick.

979
01:00:14,528 --> 01:00:18,692
It's a Modus Bocardo syllogism.

980
01:00:18,865 --> 01:00:20,651
A category of logical argument.

981
01:00:20,826 --> 01:00:22,783
Two propositions,
one major, one minor,

982
01:00:22,953 --> 01:00:26,537
and the "therefore" symbol
is the clue.

983
01:00:26,706 --> 01:00:29,289
"Some coppers have no brains."

984
01:00:29,459 --> 01:00:30,824
"All coppers are bastards."

985
01:00:31,002 --> 01:00:34,540
Therefore some bastards
have no brains.“

986
01:00:34,714 --> 01:00:37,172
It has to be more than that.

987
01:00:37,342 --> 01:00:39,083
He has to give us
a sporting chance.

988
01:00:39,261 --> 01:00:40,381
Else, where's the fun in it?

989
01:00:40,512 --> 01:00:41,877
Well, whatever it means,

990
01:00:42,055 --> 01:00:45,923
as an exercise in bamboozling
the police, it's brilliant.

991
01:00:46,101 --> 01:00:50,095
I doubt Debbie Snow
would see it that way.

992
01:00:50,272 --> 01:00:51,712
It really matters to you,
doesn't it?

993
01:00:51,736 --> 01:00:52,736
Finding this girl.

994
01:00:52,858 --> 01:00:55,020
I mean, it matters to me.

995
01:00:55,193 --> 01:00:56,399
Don't get me wrong.

996
01:00:56,570 --> 01:00:57,935
But with you, it's...

997
01:01:00,448 --> 01:01:01,859
Why did you become a policeman?

998
01:01:02,033 --> 01:01:03,774
We're not here to talk about me.

999
01:01:03,952 --> 01:01:05,232
If you've nothing else to add...

1000
01:01:05,287 --> 01:01:07,574
In my experience,

1001
01:01:07,747 --> 01:01:10,239
a policeman's need
to save people

1002
01:01:10,417 --> 01:01:12,954
is typically born of a need
to save one person.

1003
01:01:15,755 --> 01:01:17,337
Who couldn't you save,

1004
01:01:17,507 --> 01:01:18,872
Constable Morse?

1005
01:01:19,050 --> 01:01:20,757
Good night, Doctor.

1006
01:01:24,181 --> 01:01:27,845
The girl is "materiel"

1007
01:01:28,018 --> 01:01:30,476
in whatever diabolical game
he's playing.

1008
01:01:32,105 --> 01:01:34,142
But the real object here

1009
01:01:34,316 --> 01:01:38,184
is to prove whose
intellect is the greater.

1010
01:01:38,361 --> 01:01:40,102
So far, it's...

1011
01:01:42,449 --> 01:01:43,985
You admire him.

1012
01:01:44,159 --> 01:01:47,743
Respect, perhaps, his ability.

1013
01:01:47,913 --> 01:01:49,620
His singularity of purpose.

1014
01:01:49,789 --> 01:01:50,789
Which is?

1015
01:01:50,832 --> 01:01:52,618
He lives to kill.

1016
01:01:52,792 --> 01:01:54,829
He eats, he sleeps, he kills...

1017
01:01:55,003 --> 01:01:57,243
That's all he does, with no more
sympathy for his victims

1018
01:01:57,339 --> 01:02:01,583
than you would feel
in taking a paper to a wasp.

1019
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,503
Then why didn't he kill me?

1020
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:12,468
Because it suits him
to have you alive.

1021
01:02:26,576 --> 01:02:29,739
We're not going to make it.

1022
01:02:29,913 --> 01:02:31,119
Are we?

1023
01:02:44,594 --> 01:02:45,880
(softly, to himself):
Bocardo.

1024
01:03:30,056 --> 01:03:32,343
Bocardo Prison...

1025
01:03:39,899 --> 01:03:41,856
(alarm bell ringing)

1026
01:03:44,154 --> 01:03:45,770
Morse.

1027
01:03:49,284 --> 01:03:51,244
The riddle the killer set
was a Bocardo syllogism.

1028
01:03:51,268 --> 01:03:52,109
Bocardo?

1029
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:54,073
That's the key, sir,
the word "Bocardo,"

1030
01:03:54,247 --> 01:03:55,408
not the syllogism.

1031
01:03:55,582 --> 01:03:57,662
I knew there was another Bocardo
connection to Oxford

1032
01:03:57,686 --> 01:03:58,702
but I couldn't place it

1033
01:03:58,877 --> 01:04:00,313
until I passed
the Memorial on the Broad.

1034
01:04:00,337 --> 01:04:01,337
The Martyrs' memorial?

1035
01:04:01,421 --> 01:04:02,648
Prior to being burnt
at the stake,

1036
01:04:02,672 --> 01:04:04,312
all three were held
in the Bocardo Prison.

1037
01:04:04,336 --> 01:04:05,456
In Oxford?
Never heard of it.

1038
01:04:05,550 --> 01:04:07,190
It used to stand
right here by St. Michael

1039
01:04:07,302 --> 01:04:08,542
in North Gate.

1040
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,961
The Martyrs' cell door
is on display

1041
01:04:11,139 --> 01:04:12,846
in the church tower, right?
Yes, sir.

1042
01:04:21,941 --> 01:04:23,352
Get it open!

1043
01:04:33,536 --> 01:04:34,947
Oh...

1044
01:04:54,140 --> 01:04:55,926
You're going to be all right.

1045
01:04:56,101 --> 01:04:57,101
Thank you.

1046
01:04:57,227 --> 01:04:58,513
Bye-bye.

1047
01:05:08,673 --> 01:05:09,673
When was this?

1048
01:05:09,697 --> 01:05:11,529
Over.

1049
01:05:25,255 --> 01:05:26,370
Morse?

1050
01:05:26,548 --> 01:05:27,548
Oh, no, thanks.

1051
01:05:27,632 --> 01:05:28,667
Come on, matey.

1052
01:05:28,842 --> 01:05:30,424
Afull belly
and a few hours' kip,

1053
01:05:30,593 --> 01:05:32,709
you'll be right as ninepence.

1054
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:33,968
It was too easy.

1055
01:05:34,139 --> 01:05:35,174
Not how I heard it.

1056
01:05:35,348 --> 01:05:38,841
It doesn't make any sense.

1057
01:05:39,018 --> 01:05:40,298
Not if he's playing
by the rules.

1058
01:05:40,437 --> 01:05:42,769
The Snow Maiden...
she melts.

1059
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,475
Melts?

1060
01:05:44,649 --> 01:05:45,810
Oh.

1061
01:05:45,984 --> 01:05:48,396
You think he meant to
burn her then, or...?

1062
01:05:48,570 --> 01:05:50,561
Debbie Snow was never
in any real danger.

1063
01:05:50,738 --> 01:05:52,604
There were air holes
in the casket.

1064
01:05:55,243 --> 01:05:57,280
No, he was just playing with us.

1065
01:05:57,454 --> 01:05:59,741
Out.

1066
01:05:59,914 --> 01:06:02,201
What worries me is why.

1067
01:06:33,114 --> 01:06:34,604
(coughs)

1068
01:06:36,826 --> 01:06:39,067
(coughs)

1069
01:06:41,664 --> 01:06:43,905
Cronyn?

1070
01:06:44,083 --> 01:06:46,199
MAX: Given the
condition of the corpus,

1071
01:06:46,377 --> 01:06:47,937
there's not a great deal
I can tell you.

1072
01:06:48,087 --> 01:06:49,794
Beyond, of course,

1073
01:06:49,964 --> 01:06:51,420
that life is extinct.

1074
01:06:54,260 --> 01:06:55,625
Who found the body?

1075
01:06:55,803 --> 01:06:57,403
Phillip Madison, sir,
and his sister Faye

1076
01:06:57,427 --> 01:07:02,422
turned up for a 9:00 session
with the doctor and, well...

1077
01:07:06,189 --> 01:07:07,224
MAX:
I'd advise you

1078
01:07:07,398 --> 01:07:08,638
to stand well clear, Inspector.

1079
01:07:08,662 --> 01:07:11,062
Until we can get it
safely stoppered.

1080
01:07:11,236 --> 01:07:12,442
Acid?

1081
01:07:12,612 --> 01:07:15,149
Aqua regia, by the smell.

1082
01:07:15,323 --> 01:07:17,860
Royal water.

1083
01:07:18,034 --> 01:07:19,274
Nitro-hydrochloric acid.

1084
01:07:21,246 --> 01:07:22,657
Hence the state of him.

1085
01:07:22,830 --> 01:07:25,117
From the green tinge,

1086
01:07:25,291 --> 01:07:28,534
the container was sealed
with a brass bung.

1087
01:07:28,711 --> 01:07:30,702
Acid would've eaten through
that in about an hour.

1088
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,087
And poured out onto his head.

1089
01:07:33,258 --> 01:07:36,250
Melted.

1090
01:07:36,427 --> 01:07:37,427
Like the Snow Maiden.

1091
01:07:39,973 --> 01:07:41,930
It wasn't Debbie, it was Daniel.

1092
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:44,057
Daniel Cronyn.

1093
01:07:44,227 --> 01:07:46,434
E-G-B-D.

1094
01:07:46,604 --> 01:07:48,811
Then we need to find
whoever F is

1095
01:07:48,982 --> 01:07:50,143
before the killer does.

1096
01:07:59,742 --> 01:08:01,779
How long had your brother
been seeing Dr. Cronyn?

1097
01:08:01,953 --> 01:08:03,034
Four months.

1098
01:08:03,204 --> 01:08:08,370
Phillip is rather highly strung.

1099
01:08:08,543 --> 01:08:11,285
The artistic temperament,
Isuppose.

1100
01:08:11,462 --> 01:08:13,669
We lost our parents, you see.

1101
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:14,955
Quite young.

1102
01:08:16,926 --> 01:08:19,964
Phillip took it worst,
of course, being the eldest.

1103
01:08:20,138 --> 01:08:23,426
He suffers dreadfully
with his nerves.

1104
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,558
PHILLIP:
I'd had a bad attack.

1105
01:08:26,728 --> 01:08:27,728
Yesterday evening.

1106
01:08:27,854 --> 01:08:29,811
I telephoned Dr. Cronyn

1107
01:08:29,981 --> 01:08:33,519
and made an appointment
for first thing this morning.

1108
01:08:33,693 --> 01:08:36,685
When I arrived,
the door was on the latch.

1109
01:08:36,863 --> 01:08:38,649
Iwent in and...

1110
01:08:43,911 --> 01:08:45,572
Well, you saw what I found.

1111
01:08:49,709 --> 01:08:51,291
He has a recital coming up,
you said.

1112
01:08:51,461 --> 01:08:54,920
Indeed. Tomorrow.

1113
01:08:55,089 --> 01:08:58,047
Will he be in a fit state
for that?

1114
01:08:58,217 --> 01:09:00,083
This will be his first recital
from memory.

1115
01:09:00,261 --> 01:09:02,878
But he's determined to go ahead.

1116
01:09:03,056 --> 01:09:04,512
For Aunt Grace's sake.

1117
01:09:04,682 --> 01:09:06,593
They were close?

1118
01:09:06,768 --> 01:09:07,974
Very.

1119
01:09:08,144 --> 01:09:10,602
She and Uncle Cedric
had the raising of us.

1120
01:09:10,772 --> 01:09:12,433
I mean,

1121
01:09:12,607 --> 01:09:14,974
we boarded in England
most of the year,

1122
01:09:15,151 --> 01:09:16,937
but we usually summered
in Jaipur.

1123
01:09:19,238 --> 01:09:23,402
Just for the record,
Miss Madison,

1124
01:09:23,576 --> 01:09:24,987
where was Phillip last night?

1125
01:09:25,161 --> 01:09:26,526
At home with me.

1126
01:09:28,748 --> 01:09:32,457
Who would do such
a terrible thing?

1127
01:09:56,776 --> 01:09:58,483
Let you out, then.

1128
01:10:04,992 --> 01:10:06,949
<i>MAX:
Small comfort,</i>

1129
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:08,986
but if it's any consolation,

1130
01:10:09,163 --> 01:10:12,201
Dr. Cronyn was already dead
when the acid did its work.

1131
01:10:12,375 --> 01:10:13,740
So what was the cause?

1132
01:10:13,918 --> 01:10:16,000
From my examination of him,

1133
01:10:16,170 --> 01:10:19,788
he appears to have been
an habitual morphine addict.

1134
01:10:19,966 --> 01:10:22,128
There was a syringe in his
desk drawer, wasn't there?

1135
01:10:22,301 --> 01:10:23,382
Morse?

1136
01:10:26,639 --> 01:10:28,050
Uh, yes.

1137
01:10:28,224 --> 01:10:31,842
Together with some
ampoules of morphia... mm-hmm.

1138
01:10:35,273 --> 01:10:37,355
Somebody gave him
an overdose, maybe,

1139
01:10:37,525 --> 01:10:39,765
or slipped something in the
syringe that wasn't morphine.

1140
01:10:39,789 --> 01:10:40,855
Possible, of course.

1141
01:10:41,028 --> 01:10:44,987
But until I've had his
blood results back...

1142
01:10:45,158 --> 01:10:47,616
Time was between 2:00
and 5:00 this morning.

1143
01:10:47,785 --> 01:10:48,866
Anything else?

1144
01:10:49,036 --> 01:10:50,652
General lack of care.

1145
01:10:50,830 --> 01:10:53,868
But nothing I wouldn't expect
to find in any other addict.

1146
01:10:54,041 --> 01:10:56,499
And him a doctor of the mind.

1147
01:10:56,669 --> 01:10:59,377
Physician, heal thyself.

1148
01:11:03,634 --> 01:11:05,295
THURSDAY:
Morphine.

1149
01:11:05,470 --> 01:11:09,134
Access wouldn't be a problem
in his line, I don't suppose.

1150
01:11:09,307 --> 01:11:10,843
But he didn't strike me
as the type.

1151
01:11:11,017 --> 01:11:12,257
Did he you?

1152
01:11:14,145 --> 01:11:15,476
Morse?

1153
01:11:15,646 --> 01:11:16,351
Oi!

1154
01:11:16,522 --> 01:11:18,513
(tires squealing)

1155
01:11:22,195 --> 01:11:23,606
When'd you last get any sleep?

1156
01:11:23,780 --> 01:11:24,895
Pull over.

1157
01:11:32,789 --> 01:11:33,789
Right.

1158
01:11:33,956 --> 01:11:35,236
Sit yourself down through there.

1159
01:11:35,374 --> 01:11:36,535
I'm fine, sir.

1160
01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:37,915
Don't argue.

1161
01:11:38,085 --> 01:11:39,951
You're no good to me
dead on your feet.

1162
01:11:47,595 --> 01:11:50,303
I'll get a brew on.

1163
01:11:50,473 --> 01:11:53,340
Or there's a drop
of brandy if you like.

1164
01:11:53,518 --> 01:11:55,930
Better make it brandy.

1165
01:11:57,855 --> 01:12:00,096
What's this, home in the
middle of the afternoon?

1166
01:12:00,274 --> 01:12:01,685
I've got Morse
in the other room.

1167
01:12:01,859 --> 01:12:02,859
What, the new boy?

1168
01:12:02,931 --> 01:12:04,171
He seemed very nice, I thought.

1169
01:12:04,195 --> 01:12:05,481
Very polite.

1170
01:12:05,655 --> 01:12:06,736
Shy, though.

1171
01:12:09,242 --> 01:12:11,108
(sighs)

1172
01:12:11,285 --> 01:12:12,616
WIN:
What's that, brandy?

1173
01:12:12,787 --> 01:12:14,698
I hope you're not
leading him astray.

1174
01:12:14,872 --> 01:12:15,872
He's been in the wars.

1175
01:12:15,957 --> 01:12:17,038
Lost a bit of blood.

1176
01:12:17,208 --> 01:12:20,166
You got any stew and dumplings
you can warm through?

1177
01:12:20,336 --> 01:12:22,668
I'll put something on.

1178
01:12:22,839 --> 01:12:24,119
It's stout you need, not brandy.

1179
01:12:24,257 --> 01:12:25,543
Something with a bit of iron in,

1180
01:12:25,716 --> 01:12:26,877
build his strength up.

1181
01:12:27,051 --> 01:12:28,507
There's a bottle
at the back there.

1182
01:12:39,188 --> 01:12:40,394
There you go.

1183
01:13:42,251 --> 01:13:44,834
(birds chirping)

1184
01:13:47,256 --> 01:13:49,213
JOAN:
Ronnie?

1185
01:13:49,343 --> 01:13:50,583
Ronnie Gidderton from the bank?

1186
01:13:50,607 --> 01:13:52,876
I thought you said
he was a bit wet.

1187
01:13:53,054 --> 01:13:54,534
You've scared off
all the decent ones.

1188
01:13:54,558 --> 01:13:56,546
Come in, Morse.
Don't stand on ceremony.

1189
01:13:56,724 --> 01:13:58,556
Budge up, <i>Sam.</i>

1190
01:13:58,726 --> 01:14:00,166
You shouldn't have
let me sleep, sir.

1191
01:14:00,190 --> 01:14:01,472
Looked like
you could do with it.

1192
01:14:01,646 --> 01:14:03,353
Mrs. Thursday's
done you some tea.

1193
01:14:03,522 --> 01:14:04,853
Win, dear.

1194
01:14:05,024 --> 01:14:06,059
You feeling better?

1195
01:14:06,233 --> 01:14:07,233
Oh, yeah, much, thanks.

1196
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:08,771
What happened to you, then?

1197
01:14:08,945 --> 01:14:10,811
Not at tea, Joan, thank you.

1198
01:14:10,988 --> 01:14:12,228
I'm only asking.

1199
01:14:12,406 --> 01:14:13,406
I know what
you're "only."

1200
01:14:13,449 --> 01:14:14,860
There's one rule in this house.

1201
01:14:15,034 --> 01:14:16,115
Where do we leave work?

1202
01:14:16,285 --> 01:14:18,401
On the hallstand
by the front door.

1203
01:14:18,579 --> 01:14:20,320
THURSDAY:
Right.

1204
01:14:20,498 --> 01:14:22,330
What can we talk about, then,
the weather?

1205
01:14:22,500 --> 01:14:23,615
(phone rings)

1206
01:14:23,793 --> 01:14:25,513
Yeah, whether you're
too big for a spanking.

1207
01:14:25,537 --> 01:14:26,708
I'd like to see you try.

1208
01:14:26,879 --> 01:14:28,961
You wait till I'm back
from the army.

1209
01:14:29,091 --> 01:14:31,251
THURSDAY: Word of advice,
Morse... don't have children.

1210
01:14:31,275 --> 01:14:32,755
They'll make you old
before your time.

1211
01:14:36,305 --> 01:14:39,013
A Miss Frazil
on the blower, Pop.

1212
01:14:39,183 --> 01:14:42,016
DOROTHEA: After you called,
I spoke to my old editor, Sid Mears.

1213
01:14:42,186 --> 01:14:43,017
He sent these round.

1214
01:14:43,187 --> 01:14:45,019
He knew the Miller case?

1215
01:14:45,189 --> 01:14:47,351
Perhaps.

1216
01:14:47,525 --> 01:14:49,766
He remembered something similar
around the end of '43.

1217
01:14:49,944 --> 01:14:51,309
It'd stuck in his head.

1218
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:53,694
Only the family name was Gull.

1219
01:14:55,324 --> 01:14:59,192
They ran a coaching inn
by Wolvercote.

1220
01:14:59,370 --> 01:15:00,576
I say "they."

1221
01:15:00,746 --> 01:15:02,828
It was just Mason Gull
and his mother.

1222
01:15:02,999 --> 01:15:06,117
Thing is, there was an American
general billeted there.

1223
01:15:06,293 --> 01:15:09,877
This was the build-up
to D-Day, don't forget.

1224
01:15:10,047 --> 01:15:11,887
Anyway, this general
had taken a bit of a shine

1225
01:15:11,911 --> 01:15:16,246
to Mrs. Gull, by all accounts,
and that's what led to it.

1226
01:15:19,932 --> 01:15:20,932
Sid and his photographer

1227
01:15:20,975 --> 01:15:22,415
were amongst the first
out to the inn

1228
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,843
and got those few snaps
before the military police

1229
01:15:25,021 --> 01:15:27,433
descended on the place
and turfed them out.

1230
01:15:27,606 --> 01:15:31,440
In the end, word came down
from the War Office

1231
01:15:31,610 --> 01:15:32,645
at the very highest level

1232
01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:35,778
that the story was to be spiked.

1233
01:15:35,948 --> 01:15:37,234
D-Day looming.

1234
01:15:37,408 --> 01:15:40,025
Dangerous talk costs lives,
Isuppose.

1235
01:15:40,202 --> 01:15:42,443
If his name was Gull,

1236
01:15:42,621 --> 01:15:46,580
why would Dr. Cronyn
know him as Keith Miller?

1237
01:15:46,751 --> 01:15:48,116
Maybe they changed his name,

1238
01:15:48,294 --> 01:15:51,582
buried him away in the country
somewhere, and forgot about him.

1239
01:15:51,756 --> 01:15:53,497
In any event, Sid never
came across a word

1240
01:15:53,674 --> 01:15:55,585
on any subsequent committal
or trial.

1241
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,171
The boy just disappeared.

1242
01:16:12,735 --> 01:16:14,100
(phone rings)

1243
01:16:16,989 --> 01:16:21,358
(opera <i>Tosca</i> playing)

1244
01:16:46,393 --> 01:16:51,934
(music continues
to dramatic close)

1245
01:16:58,697 --> 01:17:00,358
I won't let you down.

1246
01:17:00,533 --> 01:17:02,365
You never have.

1247
01:17:02,535 --> 01:17:04,321
Ready?

1248
01:17:09,875 --> 01:17:11,286
ENDEAVOUR:
He played a record.

1249
01:17:11,460 --> 01:17:12,460
<i>Tosca.</i>

1250
01:17:12,586 --> 01:17:13,621
<i>Tosca?</i>

1251
01:17:13,796 --> 01:17:16,288
It's a penny dreadful of a plot.

1252
01:17:16,465 --> 01:17:18,627
Filled with murder,
torture, suicide.

1253
01:17:18,801 --> 01:17:20,291
Right up his street, then.

1254
01:17:20,469 --> 01:17:22,551
At the Opera's climax,
the heroine, Floria Tosca,

1255
01:17:22,721 --> 01:17:24,507
hurls herself
from the battlements

1256
01:17:24,682 --> 01:17:27,174
of the Castel Sant'Angelo.

1257
01:17:27,351 --> 01:17:30,093
In summation, then,
apart from method

1258
01:17:30,271 --> 01:17:31,477
by which he means

1259
01:17:31,647 --> 01:17:34,184
to dispose of this fifth
and final victim,

1260
01:17:34,358 --> 01:17:36,599
we know neither the where,
the when,

1261
01:17:36,777 --> 01:17:38,393
nor the whom of it.

1262
01:17:38,571 --> 01:17:41,814
If the killer's sticking
to Morse's EGBDF pattern, sir,

1263
01:17:41,991 --> 01:17:45,404
it's got to be someone
whose name begins with an F.

1264
01:17:57,965 --> 01:17:59,330
It's Cronyn.

1265
01:17:59,508 --> 01:18:01,499
But what is?

1266
01:18:01,677 --> 01:18:03,167
The murderer, it's Cronyn.

1267
01:18:03,345 --> 01:18:04,823
BRIGHT: I appreciate
your work on this, Morse,

1268
01:18:04,847 --> 01:18:06,133
but I think you'll find...

1269
01:18:06,307 --> 01:18:07,907
Dr. Cronyn approached us,
didn't he, sir?

1270
01:18:07,931 --> 01:18:08,551
Yes, but...

1271
01:18:08,726 --> 01:18:10,262
He's the one had us
running around

1272
01:18:10,436 --> 01:18:11,636
looking for this Keith Miller.

1273
01:18:11,687 --> 01:18:12,472
But Morse!

1274
01:18:12,646 --> 01:18:13,852
It's a joke, sir, a blind.

1275
01:18:14,023 --> 01:18:15,889
Keith Miller doesn't exist, sir.

1276
01:18:16,066 --> 01:18:19,900
(writing on blackboard)

1277
01:18:21,739 --> 01:18:24,857
Rearrange the letters
of his name and you get...

1278
01:18:25,034 --> 01:18:27,275
"I'm the killer."

1279
01:18:27,453 --> 01:18:30,821
He's been toying with us
right from the beginning,

1280
01:18:30,998 --> 01:18:32,909
posing as Dr. Cronyn.

1281
01:18:34,460 --> 01:18:35,541
So who is he really?

1282
01:18:38,255 --> 01:18:40,747
Mason Gull, sir.

1283
01:18:40,925 --> 01:18:42,916
Good grief.

1284
01:18:43,093 --> 01:18:45,551
Then whose body did we find

1285
01:18:45,721 --> 01:18:47,678
<i>in Cronyn's consulting rooms?</i>

1286
01:18:50,976 --> 01:18:52,307
THURSDAY:
Are you sure this is it?

1287
01:18:52,478 --> 01:18:53,878
JAKES:
Outside of the rooms in town,

1288
01:18:53,979 --> 01:18:56,346
it's the only other address
for 3 Daniel Cronyn

1289
01:18:56,523 --> 01:18:58,639
showing
on the electoral register.

1290
01:19:19,463 --> 01:19:20,828
He's been here.

1291
01:19:21,006 --> 01:19:22,086
ENDEAVOUR:
Of course he has.

1292
01:19:22,132 --> 01:19:24,874
This has been his bolt hole.

1293
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:28,711
Dr. Cronyn, I presume.

1294
01:19:28,889 --> 01:19:31,551
The real Daniel Cronyn.

1295
01:19:58,294 --> 01:20:00,285
ENDEAVOUR: He's kept
him drugged on morphine.

1296
01:20:03,007 --> 01:20:05,544
Far enough out so that nobody
could hear his screams.

1297
01:20:05,718 --> 01:20:08,005
Why not just kill him
straightaway?

1298
01:20:08,178 --> 01:20:09,738
Because the body
at the consulting rooms

1299
01:20:09,805 --> 01:20:10,920
had to be fresh.

1300
01:20:14,351 --> 01:20:17,218
The murder of Mrs. Gull
was investigated

1301
01:20:17,396 --> 01:20:21,731
by Detective Inspector Foxley
of Oxford City Police.

1302
01:20:21,900 --> 01:20:23,686
Two witnesses appeared
for the prosecution:

1303
01:20:23,861 --> 01:20:28,321
slaughterman Benjamin Nimmo,
who had dropped by the inn

1304
01:20:28,490 --> 01:20:31,232
for a pint of ale
and found the body of Mrs. Gull,

1305
01:20:31,410 --> 01:20:34,243
and barmaid Gertrude Tate,

1306
01:20:34,413 --> 01:20:37,155
who was there with her
eight-year-old daughter Evelyn.

1307
01:20:37,333 --> 01:20:38,893
What's the odds
Mr. Balfour will confirm

1308
01:20:39,070 --> 01:20:40,526
his wife's maiden name was Tate?

1309
01:20:40,697 --> 01:20:44,917
The case was heard by His Honor
Mr. Justice Madison.

1310
01:20:45,090 --> 01:20:48,378
Gull's been killing anyone
connected with the trial.

1311
01:20:48,552 --> 01:20:51,169
He's going after Faye Madison.

1312
01:20:51,347 --> 01:20:52,382
Now... F for Faye.

1313
01:20:52,556 --> 01:20:54,172
She's the fifth victim.

1314
01:20:54,350 --> 01:20:56,933
We need to get officers down
to Alfredus College at once.

1315
01:20:57,102 --> 01:20:58,718
That's why Gull played me <i>Tosca</i>

1316
01:20:58,896 --> 01:21:00,728
over the telephone.

1317
01:21:00,898 --> 01:21:01,933
Alfredus College is home

1318
01:21:02,107 --> 01:21:03,787
to the Oxford Scholars'
Choral Association,

1319
01:21:03,811 --> 01:21:04,940
the choir that I sing with.

1320
01:21:05,110 --> 01:21:06,942
So where does <i>Tosca</i> come in?

1321
01:21:07,112 --> 01:21:09,023
Well, the Oxford Scholars'
Choral Association.

1322
01:21:09,198 --> 01:21:10,678
We sometimes refer to it
by acronym...

1323
01:21:10,702 --> 01:21:12,989
<i>[hose/x].</i>

1324
01:21:15,788 --> 01:21:22,376
(applause)

1325
01:21:27,716 --> 01:21:31,209
(whispering): It's the police
on the telephone for you, miss.

1326
01:21:31,387 --> 01:21:32,422
They said it's urgent.

1327
01:21:32,596 --> 01:21:33,711
The police?

1328
01:21:37,935 --> 01:21:40,267
(playing Beethoven's
<i>Moonlight Sonata)</i>

1329
01:21:53,534 --> 01:21:54,945
Hello.

1330
01:22:05,546 --> 01:22:07,412
THURSDAY:
This it?

1331
01:22:07,589 --> 01:22:08,704
Reserves are on their way.

1332
01:22:08,781 --> 01:22:09,901
You really think he'll come?

1333
01:22:09,925 --> 01:22:11,405
He must know
we'll be waiting for him.

1334
01:22:11,552 --> 01:22:12,832
THURSDAY:
Oh, he knows all right.

1335
01:22:12,928 --> 01:22:14,214
BRIGHT:
Then how can you be sure?

1336
01:22:14,388 --> 01:22:16,379
This is his grand finale.

1337
01:22:16,557 --> 01:22:18,173
He's not going to miss this.

1338
01:22:22,187 --> 01:22:23,552
Here, sir.

1339
01:22:23,730 --> 01:22:24,970
(phone buzzing)

1340
01:22:27,860 --> 01:22:28,975
Gull's got her.

1341
01:22:29,153 --> 01:22:30,793
If he's sticking
to the plot of the opera,

1342
01:22:30,817 --> 01:22:32,399
he's going to throw her
from the roof.

1343
01:22:32,448 --> 01:22:34,985
Porter says there's a stair
at each corner of the quad.

1344
01:22:35,159 --> 01:22:37,696
I'll wait on the reserve and
direct them when they arrive.

1345
01:22:37,870 --> 01:22:39,031
He won't get away.

1346
01:22:57,681 --> 01:22:59,297
(mumbling):
Help me!

1347
01:22:59,475 --> 01:23:01,011
Jesus!

1348
01:23:02,269 --> 01:23:04,306
(blowing whistle)

1349
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:07,142
STRANGE:
I've found her!

1350
01:23:07,316 --> 01:23:09,683
(Strange blowing whistle)

1351
01:23:14,615 --> 01:23:15,615
Sergeant, follow me.

1352
01:23:15,782 --> 01:23:16,863
Yes, sir.

1353
01:23:18,243 --> 01:23:20,655
(Faye gasping)

1354
01:23:20,829 --> 01:23:22,189
STRANGE: Don't
worry, Miss Madison.

1355
01:23:22,213 --> 01:23:23,283
You're safe now.

1356
01:23:23,457 --> 01:23:24,457
Where's Cronyn?

1357
01:23:24,541 --> 01:23:27,124
He told me not to worry
and went off.

1358
01:23:27,294 --> 01:23:29,251
You got her.

1359
01:23:29,421 --> 01:23:30,957
Is she all right?

1360
01:23:31,131 --> 01:23:32,997
No harm.

1361
01:23:33,175 --> 01:23:35,291
Where's Inspector Thursday?

1362
01:23:36,637 --> 01:23:38,503
Scarpia.

1363
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,011
Morse?

1364
01:23:40,182 --> 01:23:43,015
Oh... Miss Madison isn't
the final victim.

1365
01:23:43,185 --> 01:23:44,846
This isn't Cronyn's plan.

1366
01:23:45,020 --> 01:23:46,101
I've made a mistake.

1367
01:23:46,271 --> 01:23:47,807
F for Faye, though.

1368
01:23:47,981 --> 01:23:49,688
No, it's not Faye.

1369
01:23:51,235 --> 01:23:52,235
It's Fred.

1370
01:23:52,319 --> 01:23:53,775
Fred Thursday.

1371
01:24:04,039 --> 01:24:07,157
Well, here's a how-d'you-do.

1372
01:24:10,963 --> 01:24:12,249
Where is she?

1373
01:24:12,422 --> 01:24:14,288
Oh, quite safe.

1374
01:24:14,466 --> 01:24:17,003
The proverbial sprat.

1375
01:24:17,177 --> 01:24:19,760
And you the mackerel.

1376
01:24:19,930 --> 01:24:21,570
How else do you imagine
I got you up here?

1377
01:24:21,594 --> 01:24:23,138
When it comes to a damsel
in distress,

1378
01:24:23,308 --> 01:24:26,846
the boys in blue can always be
relied upon to act predictably.

1379
01:24:40,450 --> 01:24:42,657
I thought it was Tosca
goes off the roof?

1380
01:24:42,828 --> 01:24:44,114
In Act Three, yes.

1381
01:24:44,288 --> 01:24:47,406
But it's Act Two
I've always had in mind.

1382
01:24:47,583 --> 01:24:49,165
The death of Scarpia,

1383
01:24:49,334 --> 01:24:54,295
the corrupt and venal chief
of police, at Tosca's hand.

1384
01:24:56,466 --> 01:24:58,457
I'm afraid the parts
are already cast.

1385
01:25:07,936 --> 01:25:10,553
I've nothing against you
personally.

1386
01:25:10,731 --> 01:25:12,771
You simply stand in place
of the detective inspector

1387
01:25:12,795 --> 01:25:14,139
whose lies put me away.

1388
01:25:14,318 --> 01:25:15,649
Foxley.

1389
01:25:15,819 --> 01:25:18,060
It should've been him
up here with me today.

1390
01:25:18,238 --> 01:25:21,947
But he died while I was... away.

1391
01:25:22,117 --> 01:25:25,860
Well, what are you waiting for?

1392
01:25:26,038 --> 01:25:28,700
An audience.
What else?

1393
01:25:30,208 --> 01:25:32,199
THURSDAY: Where does
Morse fit into all this?

1394
01:25:32,377 --> 01:25:33,697
Got to be about
more than torment.

1395
01:25:33,837 --> 01:25:35,397
You could've killed him
at the Bodleian.

1396
01:25:35,421 --> 01:25:36,088
Why didn't you?

1397
01:25:36,173 --> 01:25:38,289
GULL:
Beethoven had his Schindler,

1398
01:25:38,467 --> 01:25:42,552
Haydn his Griesinger.

1399
01:25:42,721 --> 01:25:44,553
Every great artist
needs a biographer.

1400
01:25:48,185 --> 01:25:50,222
Someone to bear witness
to his greatness

1401
01:25:50,395 --> 01:25:52,352
and set it down for posterity.

1402
01:25:52,522 --> 01:25:56,891
GULL (continuing):
How does it feel...

1403
01:25:57,069 --> 01:25:59,731
to be my crowning achievement?

1404
01:26:01,531 --> 01:26:04,023
Five's a good number,
don't you think?

1405
01:26:04,201 --> 01:26:05,236
Nice and simple.

1406
01:26:05,410 --> 01:26:06,445
Count 'em on one hand.

1407
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:08,031
You're going to keep this up,

1408
01:26:08,205 --> 01:26:10,913
I wouldn't mind a draw on my
pipe, if it's all the same.

1409
01:26:11,083 --> 01:26:14,747
In lieu of a hearty breakfast,
by all means.

1410
01:26:38,735 --> 01:26:40,351
(music reaches dramatic climax)

1411
01:27:13,437 --> 01:27:16,680
Oh, I've looked into the eyes
of far worse than you.

1412
01:27:16,857 --> 01:27:19,895
People who've committed
real atrocities.

1413
01:27:20,068 --> 01:27:21,274
And they were sane.

1414
01:27:21,445 --> 01:27:22,725
Next to them,
you're nothing more

1415
01:27:22,779 --> 01:27:25,191
than a third-rate freak show.

1416
01:27:25,365 --> 01:27:27,982
A bearded lady with glue
running down her chin.

1417
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,777
You won't goad me
into recklessness, Thursday.

1418
01:27:30,954 --> 01:27:34,072
I'm serene.

1419
01:27:34,249 --> 01:27:36,081
And I'll be remembered.

1420
01:27:36,251 --> 01:27:38,458
A year or two, maybe five.

1421
01:27:38,628 --> 01:27:41,040
Comes to the annals of crime,

1422
01:27:41,214 --> 01:27:43,421
you're nothing more
than a footnote.

1423
01:27:43,592 --> 01:27:44,878
That's where you're wrong.

1424
01:27:45,051 --> 01:27:46,212
Ten years... less, maybe...

1425
01:27:46,386 --> 01:27:47,386
They'll certify me cured.

1426
01:27:47,554 --> 01:27:48,760
I fooled them once.

1427
01:27:48,930 --> 01:27:50,210
I can do it again.
Timely, Morse.

1428
01:27:50,265 --> 01:27:51,596
Timely.

1429
01:27:51,767 --> 01:27:53,553
Watch your footing there;
it's a bit slippy.

1430
01:27:53,727 --> 01:27:55,388
Here comes Spoletta.

1431
01:27:55,562 --> 01:27:56,562
Right on cue.

1432
01:27:58,273 --> 01:28:01,015
<i>La commedia</i> e <i>finita!</i>

1433
01:28:02,736 --> 01:28:04,067
Scarpia dies.

1434
01:28:04,237 --> 01:28:05,398
You arrest me.

1435
01:28:05,572 --> 01:28:06,572
That's how this ends.

1436
01:28:06,698 --> 01:28:07,698
Not if I rewrite it.

1437
01:28:07,741 --> 01:28:08,902
Then you'd better be quick!

1438
01:28:27,052 --> 01:28:29,794
(applause)

1439
01:28:38,230 --> 01:28:39,350
All under control, Thursday?

1440
01:28:39,481 --> 01:28:42,189
More or less, sir, yes.

1441
01:28:42,359 --> 01:28:43,520
BRIGHT:
Lend a hand, Strange.

1442
01:28:46,571 --> 01:28:47,982
You think it's the end?

1443
01:28:48,156 --> 01:28:49,317
This is where it starts.

1444
01:28:49,491 --> 01:28:50,491
That's enough out of you.

1445
01:28:50,534 --> 01:28:51,899
We're the same, you and me.

1446
01:28:52,077 --> 01:28:53,567
We bear the same burden.

1447
01:28:53,745 --> 01:28:54,745
Intelligence.

1448
01:28:54,788 --> 01:28:56,153
To be clever is to be alone.

1449
01:28:56,331 --> 01:28:57,366
Forever.

1450
01:28:57,541 --> 01:28:58,781
I see it in you.

1451
01:28:58,959 --> 01:29:01,747
I know who
you couldn't save, Morse.

1452
01:29:11,346 --> 01:29:12,461
Oh, bugger.

1453
01:29:16,184 --> 01:29:17,970
Broke my pipe.

1454
01:29:19,938 --> 01:29:20,938
Oh, bad luck.

1455
01:29:21,064 --> 01:29:22,600
Aspare, thankfully.

1456
01:29:26,111 --> 01:29:29,649
Mind you, if Morse hadn't
shown up...

1457
01:29:29,823 --> 01:29:31,609
Yes, well...

1458
01:29:31,783 --> 01:29:38,155
I imagine getting back
to General Duties after all this

1459
01:29:38,331 --> 01:29:39,696
will seem like a holiday.

1460
01:29:39,875 --> 01:29:40,990
Hm?

1461
01:29:41,167 --> 01:29:42,407
Sir.

1462
01:29:42,586 --> 01:29:44,668
Carry on.

1463
01:29:55,140 --> 01:29:56,380
I'll book him in.

1464
01:29:58,268 --> 01:30:00,760
How do you do it?

1465
01:30:03,815 --> 01:30:05,556
Leave it at the front door?

1466
01:30:07,444 --> 01:30:09,560
Because I have to.

1467
01:30:14,951 --> 01:30:18,114
Case like this'll tear the heart
right out of a man.

1468
01:30:23,460 --> 01:30:26,122
Find something worth defending.

1469
01:30:26,296 --> 01:30:28,537
I thought I had...

1470
01:30:28,715 --> 01:30:30,251
found something.

1471
01:30:30,425 --> 01:30:31,790
Music?

1472
01:30:33,887 --> 01:30:35,423
I suppose music is
as good as anything.

1473
01:30:37,390 --> 01:30:41,554
Go home, put your
best record on,

1474
01:30:41,728 --> 01:30:44,015
loud as it'll play,

1475
01:30:44,189 --> 01:30:49,559
and with every note,
