1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,360
(Choral music)

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,920
(Choral music)

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,720
In the spring of 1918,

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680
Nicholas II, deposed Tsar of all the
Russias,

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,000
was brought, together with his wife
and five children...

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,240
..to the city of Ekaterinburg...

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,240
..where they were executed
by their Bolshevik captors.

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,680
(Choral music continues)

9
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:42,040
(Bell dings, heckling)

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Jab!

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,080
When the dead were examined,

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,680
it was found that the women had concealed
about their bodies gold and jewels.

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,720
Go ahead, caller.

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,160
Commissioned as a 16th birthday
present

15
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,160
for the Grand Duchess Anastasia,

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,800
I give you...

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,200
Innocence.

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Or Nastya's Egg.

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,680
(Bell dings)

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,720
(Music continues)

21
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,880
(Beeps horn)

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,600
(Single long beep)

23
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,560
(Choral music continues)

24
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,520
Oh, good Lord. Look. You! Up on the
roof!

25
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,800
ALL: Five, four, three, two, one.

26
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,760
(Cheering)

27
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,160
Thus, after almost 100 years,

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,240
the long and distinguished history
of Oxford City Police...

29
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,360
..is ended.

30
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,640
The motto of the new constabulary is
"sit pax in valle tamesis".

31
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,800
For the benefit of the
non-classicists amongst us,

32
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Detective Sergeant Morse has kindly
provided a translation. Morse?

33
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,560
He's on a shout, sir. Handbag
snatch.

34
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,120
Oh.

35
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,000
(Psychedelic music)

36
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,120
(Two gunshots)

37
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,880
(Heavy rain shower)

38
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,960
(Slurping)

39
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,640
(Telephone rings)

40
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,600
(Ringing continues)

41
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Found by the beat man just after six.

42
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,920
No ID on him. Car's leased.

43
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,800
Waiting on the firm's offices opening
before we can say who to.

44
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,880
That's Joey Sikes.
Do you know him, sir?

45
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,120
We've had dealings.

46
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Ex-boxer. Decent right but slow on
his feet.

47
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,920
I saw him at the undercard at White City
when Bruce Woodcock beat Freddie Mills.

48
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,520
He lost that night too.

49
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,960
Who lives here?
STRANGE: No reply.

50
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Still working door-to-door.

51
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,600
Doctor.

52
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Gentlemen.

53
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,440
Shot. Three times.

54
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Twice in the chest and once in the
back.

55
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,240
From close range.

56
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,600
Somewhere between midnight and four
o'clock.

57
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Someone inside the car, then?

58
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,800
Can't say if those were lethal
until I've had a gander.

59
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440
STRANGE: Not likely to be anything
else, is it?

60
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,480
Unlikely he'd survive a metal spike
being driven into his ear.

61
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Whether that was insult to injury
remains to be seen.

62
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,360
.38 calibre in the glove compartment.

63
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,120
Recently discharged.

64
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:17,000
Nobody saw or heard anything?

65
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,360
There was a party in the warehouse
down the end.

66
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Loud music.
Between that and the thunderstorm...

67
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,000
He's had a woman in the car at some
point too.

68
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,040
Cocktail cigarettes ringed with
lipstick. Right.

69
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,600
You press on here with the
door-to-door. I'll brief Mr Bright.

70
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Joey Sikes, sir.

71
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,360
Gunned down on Holywell Lane.

72
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,680
A falling-out amongst the criminal
fraternity?

73
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,600
Certainly looks that way, sir.

74
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:53,240
I don't want people thinking our reorganisation
is an opportunity for them to make hay.

75
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,280
I'll make that clear, sir.

76
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,760
There was one more thing.

77
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,800
About the Morse situation.

78
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,040
We've got a number at Lonsdale,
looks like.

79
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,840
What kind of number? Attempted
burglary from the sounds of it.

80
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,720
Shirl's on the scene. She'll fill
you in. I can finish up here.

81
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,840
Morning. Intruder spotted on the roof
by the master and one of the dons last night.

82
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,880
Why didn't they call it in then?
Thought it might be a drunken undergrad.

83
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,920
But this morning a scout found this.
Appears he left empty-handed.

84
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,840
I've had a look topside. This was the
only thing up there.

85
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,920
An unusual spot for an auction.
It's an unusual bequest.

86
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,240
Not every day a college is left an
object of virtue.

87
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,080
"Innocence. Also known as Nastya's
Egg."

88
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,680
Faberge's last great masterpiece.

89
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:59,720
It was lost for 50 years.

90
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,200
And now bequeathed to us by a late
graduate.

91
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Its value to be realised to the
benefit of the college.

92
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,920
DS Morse. Thames Valley CID.
What's it expected to fetch?

93
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,720
A reserve is set at 30,000.

94
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,560
If the provenance is to be believed.

95
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,680
It's reliable. Robin Grey.

96
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Dr Grey is a great authority on
Russian Imperial jewellery.

97
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,680
He's been instrumental in establishing
the veracity of the original designs.

98
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480
Any news on this burglar?

99
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,040
We found this.

100
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,160
But that's The Shadow's calling
card, isn't it?

101
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,120
The what?
An international art thief.

102
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
He leaves a rose at the scene of his
crimes. If he exists.

103
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,200
That's all a bit Simon Templar, don't
you think?

104
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,600
He's real enough to Interpol.

105
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,320
The Lugash Diamond, the Golden
Dagger of Sultan Mahmud.

106
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,880
Or are you saying none of these
things were stolen?

107
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,360
I'm sure they were stolen, but whether or not by
the same person is another matter entirely.

108
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,560
Well, we'll step up the beat patrol
until the auction is concluded.

109
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,480
In the meantime, keep it under lock
and key and not just on display.

110
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,000
Unless you want it lost for another
50 years.

111
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Detective Sergeant Morse.

112
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,560
I never knew you cared. So what was
he after?

113
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,400
The Faberge? Who?

114
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,720
The Shadow!

115
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,720
I think, given the date, we're
looking at something less criminal altogether.

116
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,760
April Fool's.

117
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,600
For a cracksman of international
renown,

118
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,960
it was hardly a case of "now you see
me, now you don't".

119
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,880
What's this other business on
Holywell Lane?

120
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,480
I heard something on the police
band. It sounded serious.

121
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,600
Murder usually is. But before you ask me more,
a full statement will be released in time.

122
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Simon Lake. Art dealer.

123
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,680
He's handling the sale of the
Faberge on behalf of the owners.

124
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,320
So, murder, cat burglary - you're
earning those stripes.

125
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,720
I've earned these stripes many times.
Seriously, how are you finding it?

126
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,120
Just another tick in the box.

127
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,360
I thought there'd be... I don't
know...

128
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,400
Something more. Hm.

129
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:24,800
How'd you make out at Lonsdale?
Something and nothing.

130
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,520
April Fool, by the look of it.

131
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,680
Hello?

132
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,960
Is this your desk? Sorry.

133
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,480
Um...I was told to come up and wait.

134
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Fancy, is it?

135
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,440
George Fancy. Detective Constable.

136
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,240
DCI Thursday.

137
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,240
Sergeant Strange. DS Morse'll be
showing you around.

138
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,840
He's a good man, so watch, listen and
learn.

139
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,560
We'll find you a desk, don't worry
about that.

140
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,840
Anything more on this door-to-door?

141
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,720
A neighbour said she saw a woman in
a white raincoat getting out the car

142
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,520
and heading up the mews to the
party.

143
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,320
Looks like you had it right, matey.

144
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,440
Blonde or brunette? Couldn't say.

145
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,480
She had a scarf on.

146
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:11,120
But I have got a last-known residence for
Joey off his parole officer. The Alhambra.

147
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,800
There we are. Your first job,
Constable.

148
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,840
You can keep Morse company.

149
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,160
Do your work, mind your Ps and Qs
and you won't go far wrong.

150
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,360
I'm used to working alone, sir.

151
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,400
He'd learn more from you.

152
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,000
I expect he would.

153
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,640
But you've got rank now. That brings
responsibilities.

154
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,680
Show him the ropes. Get to know him
a bit. It'll do him good.

155
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,120
Mr Bright had a word about your
situation.

156
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,160
I wasn't aware I had one.

157
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,320
Two Detective Sergeants would,
ordinarily, be surplus in a nick of this size.

158
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,480
But right now, Division's got other
fish to fry.

159
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,920
Thought you'd be pleased.
A reprieve's not a pardon.

160
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,640
I'd as soon not wait another six
months for the other shoe to drop.

161
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,680
Beggars can't.

162
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,960
Look, none of us know how the chips
are gonna land till this reorganisation's done.

163
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,000
Just take it one day at a time.

164
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Want me to drive? No.

165
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Anything? Quiet as the proverbial.

166
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,720
Detective Constable Fancy. WPC
Trewlove.

167
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,720
George. Pleased to meet you.

168
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,680
What's a pretty girl like you doing
in a place like this?

169
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,520
My job.

170
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,720
Hard to get, eh?

171
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,360
Oh, you've no idea.

172
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,200
I like a challenge.

173
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,880
Idiot.

174
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,160
Blimey! She's a bit of all right!

175
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,880
Don't you reckon? Who, Constable
Trewlove?

176
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,920
She's a very capable officer. Doesn't
suffer fools.

177
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,400
So...this is Sikes's place, is it?

178
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,800
Good nick, is it? Decent mates?
If you go in for that sort of thing.

179
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,120
Don't you, then?

180
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,520
It's why I joined the job - the
social life.

181
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,800
And the er...crumpet.

182
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,400
Of course.

183
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,360
Got any hobbies?

184
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,680
Do you like sport? I don't go in for
small talk, Constable.

185
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,840
George. Or first names.

186
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Let's just keep it to work and we'll
get along fine.

187
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,560
Very good.

188
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,280
That's very nice.

189
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,320
Very nice.

190
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,560
(Max grunts)

191
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,080
What a good boy am I?

192
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,520
Three bullets, .38 calibre.

193
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,400
Any of which would have proved fatal.

194
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,440
Why bother with the ear business?

195
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Some sort of underworld message?

196
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,160
Hear no evil, perhaps?

197
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,960
Something from the building trade?

198
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,080
Whatever it is, it would have needed
a hammer to drive it into the skull.

199
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,120
Anything else?

200
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,480
A smooch of lipstick.

201
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,360
Rain and the cobbles had got rid of
most of it.

202
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Good afternoon. This is the message
service for 938126. Go ahead, caller.

203
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,520
Good afternoon. It's Dr Grey here.

204
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,360
I'd like to leave a message, please.

205
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,960
OPERATOR: So that's eight o'clock at
the club with Dr Grey.

206
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:35,901
♪♪

207
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:43,300
Get that lot dusted for prints and
the contents logged and booked in.

208
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:47,700
Leaving us already, George?

209
00:14:47,860 --> 00:14:49,980
Joey Sikes' worldly possessions.

210
00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:52,420
Mainly prophylactics and contact
mags.

211
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:56,380
Got a lead on his motor. Registered
to Magdalen Cabs.

212
00:14:56,580 --> 00:14:59,620
Isn't that a front for Eddie Nero's
criminal activities?

213
00:14:59,780 --> 00:15:01,660
One of 'em.

214
00:15:10,020 --> 00:15:12,220
Easy, easy. Hello, Eddie.

215
00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:14,980
Take a breather. Ah, what's this,
then, Fred?

216
00:15:16,060 --> 00:15:17,980
You've come to go a few rounds, have
you?

217
00:15:18,140 --> 00:15:20,940
Maybe later. You know the boys.

218
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:24,540
Yeah. Looks like you're a man short.

219
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:25,780
Joey Sikes.

220
00:15:25,940 --> 00:15:27,900
When did you see him last? Joey?

221
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:29,420
Couldn't say.

222
00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:31,900
But everything was just jake between
you?

223
00:15:32,060 --> 00:15:34,020
Oh, yeah. Are you sure about that?

224
00:15:34,260 --> 00:15:38,060
He was found this morning with three
bullets in him and a spike in his shell-like.

225
00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:41,900
Any idea what he was doing parked up
on Holywell Lane?

226
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,260
Search me.
He was in one of your cars.

227
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,380
I'd give him the lend of a set of
wheels from time to time.

228
00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:49,180
What about lady friends?

229
00:15:49,340 --> 00:15:50,900
Anything like that?

230
00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:53,660
Nah, he was off the birds.

231
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:58,740
I know you and Joey were tight with
each other but don't get any ideas, Eddie.

232
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:00,780
Like what? Taking the law.

233
00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:03,460
There's only one law that counts,
Fred.

234
00:16:04,420 --> 00:16:06,340
An eye for an eye.

235
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:09,700
You're a third division shake-down
artist and fourth-rate ponce.

236
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,460
Always were, always will be. Any
comeback over Joey,

237
00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:14,380
I'll have your cobblers for a key
fob.

238
00:16:16,140 --> 00:16:17,340
Mind how you go.

239
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,980
We'll need to find this woman in the
white raincoat.

240
00:16:23,180 --> 00:16:25,860
I'll see where I can get with this
lipstick. Girlfriend, you think?

241
00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:30,260
Witness, potentially. She's the last
person to have seen him alive.

242
00:16:30,460 --> 00:16:32,660
How did you make out with George?
George?

243
00:16:32,820 --> 00:16:33,940
Fancy.

244
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:35,380
Hm. Trying.

245
00:16:35,540 --> 00:16:37,660
Oh, well, that's good.

246
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,500
I'm looking for a particular shade
of lipstick.

247
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:45,020
This is the...

248
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:50,300
I think we can rule out the new
Revlon unlipstick range.

249
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,020
And it's not gonna be the Max Factor
Frosterinos.

250
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:58,540
Could be Scarlet Billows or Violent
Crimson.

251
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:00,500
Excuse me. Can I just...?

252
00:17:09,380 --> 00:17:11,060
Hello, stranger.

253
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:18,660
So, are you back or are you just
visiting?

254
00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:22,260
Dad didn't say?

255
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:24,660
I'm back!

256
00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:28,940
Couple of weeks now. But not home.

257
00:17:30,420 --> 00:17:32,980
They must be pleased, all the same,
your parents.

258
00:17:33,740 --> 00:17:35,620
I think so.

259
00:17:35,820 --> 00:17:38,300
Mum definitely.
I'm sure they both are.

260
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:41,300
It's not the same.

261
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:44,140
No. No, I imagine not.

262
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:50,100
Mr Booth, my neighbour in Leamington,
said he called you.

263
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:51,540
Yes.

264
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:54,180
A fall, the hospital said.

265
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:58,460
I slipped.

266
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,660
What about you?

267
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:07,900
Your sergeant's... I meant to ask last time.
Yes, it came through in the end.

268
00:18:08,980 --> 00:18:10,740
Congratulations.

269
00:18:11,620 --> 00:18:14,060
Detective Sergeant Morse.

270
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:18,300
Things change. Yes.

271
00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:23,220
Yes, I'm this way.

272
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,500
Are you all right?

273
00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:34,140
I mean...really all right?

274
00:18:37,820 --> 00:18:39,180
Something happens.

275
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:42,980
You have to look a bad thing in the
eye.

276
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:47,260
Break the spell.

277
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:54,020
I'll see you around.

278
00:18:55,460 --> 00:18:57,580
It's a small town.

279
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:01,460
I know where you buy your lipstick
now.

280
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,700
Tomorrow's world, Thursday.

281
00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:19,380
Sir.

282
00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:25,220
A new divisional HQ for Thames
Valley, Kidlington.

283
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:27,260
Very smart, sir.

284
00:19:27,420 --> 00:19:30,620
Clean, modern, spacious. Computers.

285
00:19:30,820 --> 00:19:35,260
And an information room that will be
the envy of any constabulary.

286
00:19:35,420 --> 00:19:36,580
And us, sir?

287
00:19:36,820 --> 00:19:41,180
No final decision has yet been reached
on whether Cowley will remain open.

288
00:19:42,260 --> 00:19:45,220
Or if we'll be absorbed into the new
station on Oxford Road.

289
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:48,620
Wouldn't have thought there'd be room
for us all in there, sir.

290
00:19:49,540 --> 00:19:51,900
No, well, there we are. Ours is not
to reason why.

291
00:19:58,420 --> 00:20:01,900
George seems a nice lad, don't you
think? He's a cocky little sod.

292
00:20:02,060 --> 00:20:03,980
Course he is. He's young.

293
00:20:04,180 --> 00:20:06,340
Full of piss and vinegar. You were
young once.

294
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:07,660
I'm still young!

295
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:12,260
Say so. Some shepherd's pie in the
oven I've left you to warm.

296
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:16,980
Beans in the pan. I'll get the
cribbage board out once Hughie Green's done.

297
00:20:17,140 --> 00:20:19,020
(TV in background)

298
00:20:22,140 --> 00:20:23,300
(Sighs)

299
00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:34,540
(Footsteps)

300
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:49,460
(Cigarette lighter clicks)

301
00:20:54,940 --> 00:20:56,780
(Bell rings)

302
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:14,740
Joan's got a new flat over in
Parktown.

303
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:16,780
Ever so nice, she says.

304
00:21:16,980 --> 00:21:19,900
Be needing a lick of paint, I should
think, but...

305
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:23,140
I'm hoping her dad's gonna do it for
her.

306
00:21:23,860 --> 00:21:25,740
But she's happy. That's the main
thing.

307
00:21:25,900 --> 00:21:27,460
Good.

308
00:21:28,740 --> 00:21:31,100
Sir. I'll go and fetch your
sandwiches.

309
00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:32,740
Much in?

310
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:47,700
Fancy. Morning, sir.

311
00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:49,740
Body's through there.

312
00:21:58,020 --> 00:21:59,740
Doctor.

313
00:22:01,220 --> 00:22:02,700
Aye-aye.

314
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:07,580
Right first, then left.

315
00:22:07,740 --> 00:22:10,300
Sometime between eight and midnight.

316
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:12,980
Any defensive wounds?

317
00:22:13,140 --> 00:22:15,300
He didn't see it coming.

318
00:22:15,460 --> 00:22:17,020
Quite literally.

319
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:20,420
Who was he? His name is Robin Grey.

320
00:22:20,620 --> 00:22:23,340
He's a history don here. I met him
yesterday.

321
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:24,580
The attempted break-in.

322
00:22:24,780 --> 00:22:27,940
Last seen by the porter going out
around six o'clock last night.

323
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:29,300
No-one saw him come back.

324
00:22:29,980 --> 00:22:32,820
Lipstick. Same as Joey Sikes.

325
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:36,380
I know you're out of practice,
but most women wear it.

326
00:22:36,580 --> 00:22:41,580
Uniform are fetching his wife in.
There is evidence of coitus.

327
00:22:41,780 --> 00:22:44,540
Who found him? Spencer Bell, one of
his students.

328
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:48,220
I went across just before eight
o'clock.

329
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:50,900
Knocked. There was no reply.

330
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:54,740
I checked my watch, knocked again,
then went in.

331
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,100
I thought he might have nipped out
for a moment.

332
00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:59,980
In my day, students didn't just
wander into a don's bedroom.

333
00:23:00,220 --> 00:23:04,660
I thought he might have overslept so
I knocked. I don't know why I went in.

334
00:23:04,820 --> 00:23:06,180
I just did.

335
00:23:11,540 --> 00:23:13,300
What was he like?

336
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:15,220
I saw him for two hours once a week.

337
00:23:15,380 --> 00:23:17,060
I'm afraid I hardly knew him at all.

338
00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:18,580
Where were you last night?

339
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:23,220
In my room right up there.
Anyone vouch for you?

340
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:28,420
You'd have had a good view from there.
You didn't see him come back last night?

341
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:31,780
Mr Bell. I'm not sure it was him.

342
00:23:33,180 --> 00:23:35,100
But I think I recognised her.

343
00:23:35,260 --> 00:23:36,700
Who?

344
00:23:38,060 --> 00:23:39,820
I'm not even sure it was her.

345
00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:44,620
But this woman had on the same coat
she wears - a white raincoat.

346
00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:47,500
But you don't know her name?
No. She's a life model.

347
00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:52,540
I think she knows the tutor Gerard Pickman.
At least that's the idea I got.

348
00:23:56,740 --> 00:24:00,260
I thought all the way over in the car
that there must be some mistake.

349
00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:02,300
What happened?

350
00:24:02,460 --> 00:24:04,700
Was it his heart? An accident?

351
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:09,180
I'm sorry to have to tell you, Mrs Grey,
but your husband died by violence.

352
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:12,260
Perhaps you should sit down. Here.

353
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:14,020
Trewlove.

354
00:24:14,740 --> 00:24:17,460
(Mrs Grey sobs)
Here.

355
00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:19,900
OK.

356
00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:22,060
When did you last see your husband?

357
00:24:22,220 --> 00:24:25,060
Er...yesterday morning.

358
00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:29,420
Did Dr Grey often stay in college?

359
00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:33,140
Once or twice a week if he had an
early tutorial.

360
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:34,900
I'm sorry.

361
00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:36,940
(She sobs)

362
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:40,780
We will need statements from all
staff and undergrads

363
00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:42,340
as to their whereabouts yesterday.

364
00:24:42,540 --> 00:24:45,260
I don't like to ask but what will
happen about the auction?

365
00:24:45,460 --> 00:24:49,020
It can't go ahead now, surely, out
of respect for Robin?

366
00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:52,060
Exactly why it should proceed. He put
so much work into it.

367
00:24:52,260 --> 00:24:55,060
I'll discuss the situation with the
bursar and Mr Lake...

368
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:58,420
This Mr Lake. He have much to do with
Grey?

369
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:00,300
Certainly. They were great friends.

370
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:03,260
He's an art dealer. He's acting for
the estate.

371
00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:06,740
Did their National Service together,
I believe.

372
00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:09,660
We'll need to speak to him if you let
us know where to find him.

373
00:25:09,860 --> 00:25:12,020
Anything to do with the egg, do you
think?

374
00:25:12,060 --> 00:25:14,660
Wasn't it him and the master saw
The Shadow Sunday night?

375
00:25:14,820 --> 00:25:16,300
So they say.

376
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:18,980
Is there any doubt about that?
They saw someone.

377
00:25:19,180 --> 00:25:21,940
But that it was this cat burglar, I'm
less convinced.

378
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:25,140
How come? Nobody sees The Shadow,
that's the point.

379
00:25:25,340 --> 00:25:28,620
He comes and goes and no-one's any
the wiser till after he's struck.

380
00:25:28,780 --> 00:25:30,260
So?

381
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:34,740
So he doesn't go clattering around
the rooftops drawing attention to himself.

382
00:25:35,420 --> 00:25:37,140
They saw somebody up there.

383
00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:38,580
And now Grey's dead.

384
00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:41,620
The undergrad who found his body
says he saw a man and woman

385
00:25:41,820 --> 00:25:44,020
turning onto Grey's stair around
seven o'clock.

386
00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:45,380
Was it Grey? He's not sure.

387
00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:48,740
But he thinks she's a life model
from a private art class he attends.

388
00:25:48,980 --> 00:25:52,460
He's given me an address to the place.
A bit on the side, do you think?

389
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:54,500
If it was Grey.

390
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:57,820
See who else lives on his stair,
start taking statements.

391
00:25:57,980 --> 00:25:59,340
THURSDAY: All right.

392
00:25:59,540 --> 00:26:02,900
I'll report back to Mr Bright. Pursue
enquiries as you see fit.

393
00:26:13,220 --> 00:26:16,780
I must say, we were all positively
chartreuse at Robin's good luck,

394
00:26:16,940 --> 00:26:18,540
bagging a Matilda beast.

395
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:20,500
And a rowing blue to boot.

396
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:23,260
Nothing in the world quite compares
to a sporty girl.

397
00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:25,100
Strong in the wrist and firm in the
hams.

398
00:26:25,340 --> 00:26:29,060
Do you think that talk's appropriate
about a woman widowed not an hour since?

399
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:32,580
She'd have to have been a very Messalina
to keep Robin down on the farm.

400
00:26:33,660 --> 00:26:35,860
Is that right?
Quite a dog in his day.

401
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:38,820
Wet his nib in any ink pot.

402
00:26:39,060 --> 00:26:45,660
Take my word. They'll be queuing
halfway up the High to offer their "condolences".

403
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:29,017
♪♪

404
00:27:47,660 --> 00:27:51,020
The Master called me. It's bloody
awful news. Poor Robin.

405
00:27:51,180 --> 00:27:53,180
You knew him well? Nearly 20 years.

406
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:56,220
He was a good friend. We did our
National Service together.

407
00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:59,940
Place called Altdorf, right on the
Eastern border.

408
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:02,500
Can you think of anyone who would
wish him any harm?

409
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:03,780
Robin? Not a soul.

410
00:28:05,060 --> 00:28:09,660
He was helping to establish a chain of
provenance with this egg of yours, I believe.

411
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:13,140
Strictly speaking, it's not mine.
I'm acting for the estate of the previous owner.

412
00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:15,940
But, yes. Robin had done a lot of the
legwork. Who is the owner?

413
00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:18,820
Someone who in life valued their
privacy.

414
00:28:19,020 --> 00:28:22,060
The estate wishes to respect that.
I'm sure you understand.

415
00:28:22,220 --> 00:28:24,100
No, I don't understand. Not at all.

416
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:27,180
First someone tries to steal the
Faberge,

417
00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:30,260
then someone intimately connected
with its sale is murdered.

418
00:28:30,460 --> 00:28:32,940
There's nothing to say the egg is
anything to do with Robin.

419
00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:34,980
I think we'll determine that.

420
00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:37,620
And knowing who the owner is will
help us form an opinion.

421
00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:43,500
I think if my friend had been brutally murdered,
I might be a little more forthcoming.

422
00:28:43,660 --> 00:28:46,540
I'd like to say more, believe me.

423
00:28:46,740 --> 00:28:49,220
Where were you last night?
Out of town.

424
00:28:49,420 --> 00:28:52,580
To say more would risk revealing the
identity of the owner.

425
00:28:53,420 --> 00:28:55,100
Convenient. Not for me.

426
00:28:56,940 --> 00:28:58,900
Did he have a mistress, Dr Grey?

427
00:29:00,220 --> 00:29:02,380
With Lucy at home? Would you?

428
00:29:03,620 --> 00:29:06,340
He never mentioned anyone called
Delilah? No.

429
00:29:07,820 --> 00:29:12,060
I would love to stay and chit-chat but I've got
to collect the egg and get it to Lonsdale.

430
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:17,060
Since the attempted burglary I'm only allowing it
to be displayed for a couple of hours each day.

431
00:29:17,260 --> 00:29:19,420
The rest of the time, it's in a safe
in my flat.

432
00:29:20,060 --> 00:29:24,620
Of course, I'll be glad to answer anything you
can think of once the auction's out of theway.

433
00:29:36,180 --> 00:29:38,140
(Child squeals)

434
00:29:39,940 --> 00:29:41,500
Hello.

435
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:44,420
I'm Detective Sergeant Morse, Thames
Valley CID.

436
00:29:44,580 --> 00:29:46,260
I'm looking for a Gerard Pickman.

437
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:48,180
One of his students gave me this
address.

438
00:29:48,380 --> 00:29:51,580
He's gone into town. I'm his wife
Cassie.

439
00:29:51,780 --> 00:29:53,940
What time are you expecting him
back?

440
00:29:53,980 --> 00:29:55,740
When his pockets are empty.

441
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:58,020
You're welcome to wait.

442
00:29:58,980 --> 00:30:00,620
Don't eat that, Alec.

443
00:30:03,380 --> 00:30:05,180
He's an artist, I understand.

444
00:30:05,340 --> 00:30:07,140
That must be interesting work.

445
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,180
Oh, yes.

446
00:30:09,420 --> 00:30:13,700
He's just finished designing the new labels
for Richardson's own-brand vegetables.

447
00:30:13,860 --> 00:30:15,740
(Motorbike approaches)

448
00:30:17,180 --> 00:30:18,940
(Engine backfires)

449
00:30:22,460 --> 00:30:25,980
Hello, little bastard.
Don't call him that, please!

450
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:35,220
(Thudding)

451
00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:43,340
(Door closes, footsteps approach)

452
00:30:44,420 --> 00:30:45,660
Sorry to have kept you.

453
00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:47,260
A bigger slash.

454
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:50,860
Still life? There's a phrase.

455
00:30:51,060 --> 00:30:54,220
It's for the cover of a Kent Finn
paperback - Just For Jolly.

456
00:30:54,460 --> 00:30:58,820
Dreadful hack but if it goes over well, his
publisher's promising the whole back catalogue.

457
00:30:59,020 --> 00:31:01,020
Thus the rent man doth make cowards
of us all.

458
00:31:01,180 --> 00:31:03,060
The .38. Is that a prop?

459
00:31:03,260 --> 00:31:06,580
No, no, it's real enough. I use it
for foxes, other vermin.

460
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:08,500
No policemen so far.

461
00:31:10,780 --> 00:31:13,260
I don't suppose you know about art.
I know what I like.

462
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:17,420
It's after Manet, isn't it? Olympia.

463
00:31:17,620 --> 00:31:19,980
The canvas that scandalised the Paris
salon.

464
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:23,380
Is that the model that sits at your
life class?

465
00:31:23,540 --> 00:31:25,140
That's right.

466
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:28,500
Does she have a name? Evie.

467
00:31:28,660 --> 00:31:30,060
With the beautiful red hair.

468
00:31:31,540 --> 00:31:33,300
Eve Thorne.

469
00:31:33,460 --> 00:31:34,780
Have you seen her recently?

470
00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:37,300
Yesterday afternoon. I had a class
here.

471
00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:39,580
What about Sunday night?

472
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:42,980
A car picked her up about midnight.

473
00:31:43,140 --> 00:31:45,020
Taxi, I think. Right.

474
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,180
Have you got an address for her?

475
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:50,660
Just a telephone number.
It's a messaging service.

476
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:57,380
She's er... She's not in any
trouble, is she?

477
00:31:57,540 --> 00:32:00,460
It's just a routine enquiry.

478
00:32:00,620 --> 00:32:02,220
She's a good kid.

479
00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:04,180
Are you sleeping with her?

480
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:05,340
No.

481
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:07,460
Not for the want of trying.

482
00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:09,900
I don't think she likes men.

483
00:32:10,060 --> 00:32:11,740
Maybe it's just you she doesn't like.

484
00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:16,500
(Buzz of conversation)

485
00:32:28,540 --> 00:32:30,500
What happened, do you think?

486
00:32:31,660 --> 00:32:33,620
I don't think, Tancred.

487
00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:35,660
And you shouldn't either.

488
00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:46,980
STRANGE: How you finding Oxford,
then, George?

489
00:32:47,180 --> 00:32:50,180
Got your digs sorted?
Section House at the moment.

490
00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:52,220
But I'm looking for a place of my
own.

491
00:32:52,380 --> 00:32:53,820
What about you?

492
00:32:54,020 --> 00:32:57,900
Yeah. Morse is shacked up with me at
the minute.

493
00:32:58,140 --> 00:33:02,380
Hopefully we'll come out of it after a year with
enough saved to put down for a flat each.

494
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:04,740
Provided we don't kill one another
first.

495
00:33:09,580 --> 00:33:12,780
Well, the cause was as expected.

496
00:33:12,980 --> 00:33:16,380
Sharp object through the orbit of the
right eye and on into the brain.

497
00:33:16,580 --> 00:33:18,940
Death would have been pretty
instantaneous.

498
00:33:19,140 --> 00:33:21,380
What about the weapon?
Ah. Steak knife.

499
00:33:21,580 --> 00:33:24,580
Traditional hump blade with serrated
edge.

500
00:33:24,780 --> 00:33:27,620
Stag-horn handle. Sheffield steel.
Silver-plated.

501
00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:30,100
Engraving dates it to about 1920.

502
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:33,540
SC. One of the colleges, maybe?
Something college?

503
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:35,620
Possibly.
Would it have taken much force?

504
00:33:35,820 --> 00:33:38,780
No great strength required. Nerve,
though.

505
00:33:38,940 --> 00:33:40,780
You're thinking of the lipstick.

506
00:33:40,980 --> 00:33:43,140
The closest match I found was
Violent Crimson.

507
00:33:43,180 --> 00:33:45,340
From the Kiss of Death range,
presumably.

508
00:33:46,340 --> 00:33:49,180
How does it compare to what you
found on Joey Sikes?

509
00:33:49,340 --> 00:33:52,060
Not enough of a trace left to say.

510
00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:54,460
A Lonsdale don and a beat-up
ex-boxer.

511
00:33:54,620 --> 00:33:56,140
Hard to see what they had in common.

512
00:33:56,340 --> 00:33:58,940
A woman in a white raincoat,
presumably.

513
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:00,980
Cherchez la femme.

514
00:34:03,820 --> 00:34:05,780
THURSDAY: Parson's Prime.

515
00:34:05,980 --> 00:34:07,860
MORSE: It's from a brewery outside
Watlington.

516
00:34:08,060 --> 00:34:11,500
According to the foreman, they
supply just one pub in Oxford.

517
00:34:11,700 --> 00:34:14,340
The Cordwangler's Arms. Delilah.
Did you try the number?

518
00:34:14,540 --> 00:34:19,020
Unobtainable. But there's a Delilah
performing there this afternoon.

519
00:34:19,220 --> 00:34:21,060
I've also got a number for Eve
Thorne,

520
00:34:21,260 --> 00:34:23,260
the life model that Spencer Bell was
talking about.

521
00:34:23,460 --> 00:34:26,900
Pickman said she got a taxi from his
place late on Sunday night.

522
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:29,740
I've left a message on her answer
service to call me back.

523
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:31,580
Good.

524
00:34:33,860 --> 00:34:36,540
How's the luncheon meat?
Adjourned.

525
00:34:39,620 --> 00:34:41,380
Win says you ran into Joan.

526
00:34:44,700 --> 00:34:46,660
You knew she was back, then?

527
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:51,940
Yeah. Well, I would have mentioned it
but...what with one thing and another...

528
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:53,420
Seem all right, did she?

529
00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:55,180
Why, haven't you seen her?

530
00:34:55,340 --> 00:34:57,060
No. No, not yet.

531
00:34:57,260 --> 00:35:00,020
She's been by the house,
but I've been at work.

532
00:35:01,780 --> 00:35:04,140
Sergeant Strange said you'd probably
be here.

533
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:05,940
How'd it go at Lonsdale this morning?

534
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:08,220
Um...there's nothing much to report.

535
00:35:08,260 --> 00:35:10,660
Most of them are alibi'd. Except the
Master,

536
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:14,340
Dr Adrian Croxley and Tancred Howlett.
He lives on the same stair as Dr Grey.

537
00:35:14,540 --> 00:35:17,100
Go on. Go back to the station and
finish writing them up.

538
00:35:17,260 --> 00:35:19,140
I haven't had lunch yet.

539
00:35:19,340 --> 00:35:22,860
I thought I'd just grab a pint, if
it's all the same.

540
00:35:23,060 --> 00:35:25,580
You're not on piecework.
He's time for a beer.

541
00:35:25,740 --> 00:35:28,340
FANCY: Do you want topping up? No.

542
00:35:28,540 --> 00:35:31,300
Well, just a half, then, George.
Thanks very much.

543
00:35:34,620 --> 00:35:36,540
Certainly never seen it at home.

544
00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:38,100
Is that what it was done with?

545
00:35:38,260 --> 00:35:39,500
Is that how he died?

546
00:35:42,380 --> 00:35:44,340
How long had you been married?

547
00:35:45,380 --> 00:35:48,260
It would have been a year come April
21st.

548
00:35:48,460 --> 00:35:52,060
All was well between you?
Perfectly well.

549
00:35:52,260 --> 00:35:55,020
That's Simon Lake, isn't it?
He was Robin's best man.

550
00:35:55,180 --> 00:35:57,060
They're very old friends.

551
00:35:57,220 --> 00:35:59,740
How did you meet Dr Grey?

552
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:03,940
At a drinks party...last February.

553
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:05,980
Two months later we were married.

554
00:36:07,620 --> 00:36:09,780
You had no reason to doubt his
fidelity?

555
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:14,860
With his body being found the way it
was, well, we're bound to ask.

556
00:36:15,020 --> 00:36:16,500
How was it found?

557
00:36:17,580 --> 00:36:19,580
There was lipstick around his mouth.

558
00:36:20,460 --> 00:36:25,860
And signs that physical intimacy had
taken place shortly before his death.

559
00:36:26,060 --> 00:36:30,940
I always knew Robin had lived...
a full life.

560
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:33,220
But from the moment we were married,

561
00:36:33,460 --> 00:36:37,940
he never once gave me any cause to think
of him as anything other than devoted.

562
00:36:38,140 --> 00:36:42,060
She wouldn't be the first wife to not
know her husband was deceiving her.

563
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:45,460
Unless she did, of course. Just keep
your wits about you.

564
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:47,500
What does that mean?

565
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:51,540
Good-looking girl? Tears? Not every
damsel in distress wants saving.

566
00:36:51,740 --> 00:36:53,580
What she looks like's nothing to do
with it.

567
00:36:53,740 --> 00:36:55,660
I wonder if she knew Joey Sikes.

568
00:36:55,860 --> 00:36:59,380
Sikes is gangland. He's no
connection with Dr Grey.

569
00:36:59,580 --> 00:37:01,820
They were both killed by particularly
gruesome means.

570
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:04,180
Both last seen with a woman wearing
a white raincoat

571
00:37:04,380 --> 00:37:06,340
and both had been kissed by someone
in red lipstick.

572
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:08,380
That's more than a coincidence.

573
00:37:18,780 --> 00:37:20,260


574
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:23,260
(Whistling and cheering)

575
00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:30,420
(Whistling)

576
00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:35,580
(Ribald cheering)

577
00:37:40,220 --> 00:37:41,900
(Wolf-whistle)

578
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:47,740
You can't come in here. I'm
Detective Sergeant Morse,

579
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:50,660
Thames Valley CID. Miss...? Ellis.

580
00:37:50,820 --> 00:37:52,380
Paula Ellis.

581
00:37:52,540 --> 00:37:53,700
Not Delilah, then?

582
00:37:54,660 --> 00:37:56,620
That's just for the stage.

583
00:37:56,860 --> 00:38:00,100
I would've thought Salome would be more fitting.
The Dance Of The Seven Veils.

584
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:03,940
Salome's already taken. There was a
Jezebel.

585
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:06,220
And a Bathsheba but she got glassed.

586
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:15,300
Be a love and hand us my dressing
gown, would you?

587
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:28,020
So...

588
00:38:28,060 --> 00:38:30,780
What do you want, then? Do you know
a Robin Grey?

589
00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:34,340
No. Who is he? He's a don at
Lonsdale College.

590
00:38:34,540 --> 00:38:36,820
Found this beer mat with your name on
it.

591
00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:39,820
Any idea how he'd come by that? No.

592
00:38:40,020 --> 00:38:41,460
That is your phone number on the
back?

593
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:44,660
No. I don't know whose that is.

594
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:49,940
I can't be the only Delilah on the circuit.
The faces change, the names stay the same.

595
00:38:49,980 --> 00:38:52,740
Has he had an accident? He was found
dead this morning.

596
00:38:54,820 --> 00:38:59,500
Do they ever ask for your telephone
number, the...customers?

597
00:39:01,820 --> 00:39:04,340
They can ask, but ask don't get.

598
00:39:04,540 --> 00:39:07,140
I've got two kids. That's who I do
this for.

599
00:39:08,620 --> 00:39:11,780
I wouldn't let any of those blokes
come within a million miles.

600
00:39:13,220 --> 00:39:14,980
How do you get the work?

601
00:39:15,140 --> 00:39:16,820
THURSDAY: Lefty Townsend?

602
00:39:17,020 --> 00:39:19,580
I'm surprised he's still going.
You know him?

603
00:39:19,740 --> 00:39:21,620
Oh, yeah. I know Lefty.

604
00:39:21,780 --> 00:39:23,660
ENSA during the war.

605
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:26,100
Office boy with Lew and Leslie for
a bit.

606
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:31,060
All right, Left?

607
00:39:31,220 --> 00:39:33,380
Fred! I'm just going to lunch.

608
00:39:33,540 --> 00:39:35,420
Late lunch.

609
00:39:35,580 --> 00:39:38,100
Spare five minutes? Always.

610
00:39:38,260 --> 00:39:40,140
Got your book?

611
00:39:44,780 --> 00:39:46,740
I just came to offer my condolences.

612
00:39:46,940 --> 00:39:49,300
If there's anything I can do...
Thank you.

613
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:52,420
That's very kind. Do the police have
any further idea?

614
00:39:52,620 --> 00:39:56,020
They suggested he may have been with
another woman last night.

615
00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:59,780
You lived across the stair. You
didn't see?

616
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:01,620
I was out.

617
00:40:03,580 --> 00:40:05,140
I'm sure they're mistaken.

618
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:07,180
Was I a fool, Tancred? Never.

619
00:40:07,340 --> 00:40:08,780
Fooled, then.

620
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:11,500
There's only one fool here.

621
00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:16,180
And it was never you.

622
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:19,860
Delilah. Paula?

623
00:40:20,020 --> 00:40:21,900
Lovely little mover.

624
00:40:22,100 --> 00:40:24,820
Just come off a very successful
"Dick" at Eastbourne.

625
00:40:24,980 --> 00:40:26,300
Is that right?

626
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:29,140
I'm hoping to get her a summer season
with Engelbert at Blackpool.

627
00:40:29,340 --> 00:40:32,460
What about the stripping?
Exotic dancing.

628
00:40:32,660 --> 00:40:35,340
It's all very tasteful. Nothing
smutty. I've seen it.

629
00:40:35,540 --> 00:40:37,220
Doesn't leave much to the
imagination.

630
00:40:37,420 --> 00:40:40,340
That rather depends on your
imagination, doesn't it?

631
00:40:43,460 --> 00:40:45,860
Why all the Biblical names?
Adds mystery.

632
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:49,780
The girls are hardly likely to use their own,
are they? And the punters like it.

633
00:40:49,980 --> 00:40:52,500
So Paula Ellis isn't the only
Delilah you've had on your books?

634
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:54,860
Oh, no. I've had quite a few over the
years.

635
00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:56,500
I wouldn't know where they all are
now.

636
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:00,060
MORSE: Do you have an address for
her?

637
00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:30,180
Eve Thorne?

638
00:41:30,340 --> 00:41:31,980
Police.

639
00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:34,738
♪♪

640
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,480
EVE: Someone invited me to a party.

641
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,480
I don't remember who. I got a cab to
pick me up from Gerry's place.

642
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,280
Do you know the driver?
No. Why would I?

643
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,360
And then what happened? What usually
happens at a party.

644
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,560
You have a drink. Dance. Talk to
people.

645
00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:57,600
When did you leave? Two, maybe.

646
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,880
MORSE: Alone? Yes.

647
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,960
Where were you Monday night?

648
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,240
What's this about?

649
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,520
I got a call. Out of the blue.

650
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:17,480
A guy called and asked if I wanted
to go for a drink.

651
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:18,760
Robin Grey?

652
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,120
How do you know him?

653
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,920
He'd seen me dancing.

654
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,240
Stripping?

655
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,320
So you went for a drink and then
what?

656
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:30,920
We went back to his place.
At Lonsdale College.

657
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,360
Did you sleep with him?

658
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,360
It's a free country last time
I looked.

659
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,440
You know he had a wife?
Never came up, funnily enough.

660
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,240
What time did you leave?

661
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,200
Just after nine.

662
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,120
When I left him, he was sleeping
like a baby.

663
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,680
Look, what's this about?

664
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,240
Both the driver of the taxi and Robin
Grey are dead, Miss Thorne.

665
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,400
So far, you're the only link we've
got between them.

666
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:06,760
I don't know what happened after I
went but Robin was fine when I left him.

667
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,440
As for the taxi driver, I can't help
you. I'd like to go home now.

668
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,120
We'll need to take a set of your
fingerprints. Why?

669
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,160
For the process of elimination.

670
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,880
You'll be here for a while yet.

671
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,760
What's going on?

672
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,720
The art dealer Lake hasn't shown up,
neither him nor the egg.

673
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,120
I've telephoned but there's no
reply.

674
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,960
I assumed he must be on his way.
Do you have an address for him?

675
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,960
Send a patrol car. Certainly.
It's 15 Holywell Lane.

676
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,360
Holywell Lane?

677
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,280
Yes. Why?

678
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,320
Ohh!

679
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,280
There's nothing to report.

680
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,320
MORSE: He can't have been dead long.

681
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,480
I saw him this morning at the
airfield.

682
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,720
THURSDAY: Anything, Doc? Well...

683
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,160
his head's in this room and his
body's in that room.

684
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,080
So that might have something to do
with it.

685
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:12,680
Anything as to a time, say?

686
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,720
Within the last three to four hours.

687
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,280
Looks to have had his throat cut
first, right to left.

688
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,320
Then decapitation post mortem.

689
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,000
Small mercies.

690
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,920
Lipstick again.

691
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,360
What's this?

692
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,720
Dr Grey at Lonsdale had lipstick
round his mouth.

693
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,160
As did Joey Sikes.

694
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,520
I thought that was gangland.
So did we, sir.

695
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,720
But his car was found just outside
here.

696
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,000
Oh, Ballistics have come back with
a match.

697
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,320
The bullets I dug out were from Joey
Sikes' pistol.

698
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,160
He was shot with his own gun?
Looks like it.

699
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,200
Constable. Doctor.

700
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,080
Detective Constable Fancy, sir. Just
over from County, as was.

701
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:51,240
Chief Superintendent Bright. Sir.

702
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,200
Neighbour over the road said she
heard a shot around 3.45.

703
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,360
Saw this woman in the white mac coming out
at around...half four, quarter to five.

704
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,400
Well, he wasn't shot.

705
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,640
Three men slaughtered with such
violence.

706
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,160
You're surely not suggesting a woman
could have done it?

707
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,560
Two of the victims were found in bed,
sir. And with lipstick.

708
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,440
So Joey Sikes was shot, then a skewer
was driven into his ear.

709
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,720
Dr Grey was stabbed in both eyes and
now Lake has been decapitated.

710
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,360
That means something, doesn't it?

711
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:21,880
The method, do you think?

712
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,520
Oh, SC. Same as was found on the
knife that killed Dr Grey.

713
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,240
And the egg?

714
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,160
There was a single red rose been
left, sir. The Shadow's signature.

715
00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:43,080
How come door-to-door never picked
up Lake was living here?

716
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:45,120
Not his property, sir.

717
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,240
Looks like he was only staying for
the duration of the auction.

718
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,240
Owner's listed as one Bertram Povey.
Deceased.

719
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,680
THURSDAY: Knew each other, didn't
they, Lake and Dr Grey?

720
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,080
Both connected to this egg.

721
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:00,120
That's the key, isn't it?

722
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:07,040
What have you got there?
A menu. 1st April last year.

723
00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:09,680
"On the occasion of the passing of
the Mock Turtle."

724
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,760
You were seen leaving Simon Lake's
flat earlier this afternoon.

725
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,640
We can put you in a line-up, have
our witness pick you out.

726
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,800
He'd asked me round for four.

727
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,200
I got held up. In the end I didn't
make it till quarter past, maybe.

728
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,440
The door was open so I went in.

729
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,560
I went into the bedroom.

730
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,320
Next thing I remember, I was on the
bus.

731
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:47,480
And on Sunday night, when the taxi
dropped you off at the party,

732
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,240
that's who you were seeing...Simon
Lake.

733
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,200
And on Monday morning, you were
inside the flat with Lake

734
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,840
when the driver's body was found.

735
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:00,240
Yeah. We heard you knocking but Simon
didn't want to answer the door.

736
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,760
Mr Bright would like a word, sir.
In a minute.

737
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,080
Did you notice whether the safe was
open or closed?

738
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:13,880
No. I don't remember.

739
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,280
And the driver of the taxi, Joey
Sikes.

740
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,720
Do you know him? No.

741
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,640
I advise you to cooperate, Miss
Thorne, in your own best interests.

742
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:30,920
So...you sleep with Lake on Sunday,
Grey on Monday.

743
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,480
Then come back for another round
with Lake today.

744
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,960
And...?
Your fingerprints have turned up

745
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,440
your previous convictions.

746
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,280
Soliciting. You're a common
prostitute.

747
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,440
You've seen where I live.

748
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,440
There's nothing common about me.

749
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,520
What's your type?

750
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,520
Blonde? Brunette? Redhead?

751
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:57,320
Do you go for the mousy sort? Butter wouldn't melt
but get their glasses off and, "Oh, Daddy."

752
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,240
That's quite enough.
Maybe you want a goddess.

753
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,920
Someone you can put on a pedestal.

754
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,280
Unobtainable. Or perhaps you like to
be mothered.

755
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,760
Have someone wash your tinkle.
Take her back to her cell.

756
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,280
You haven't taken your eyes off me.

757
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,040
I've got your number. I know where
you are. You like to watch, right?

758
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:16,000
Look but don't touch. I know your
kind.

759
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,520
What's that book? The Spy In The
House Of Love, that's you.

760
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,680
Outside looking in at what you want
but daren't ask for.

761
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,280
Take her down.

762
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,960
You think she killed him?
MORSE: She knew all three victims.

763
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,200
Had slept with two of them, both are
connected to this Faberge egg.

764
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,560
For all we know, Lake was still alive when she
arrived. Now he's dead and the egg's gone.

765
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,000
I've known clients get possessive to
the point of obsession in some cases.

766
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:46,200
The only reason I can think of for her to
lie is if she saw someone she recognised

767
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,760
by Lake's flat, going in or coming out,
someone she was afraid of, maybe.

768
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,880
If she saw him, it's very likely he
saw her.

769
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,360
Which offers the possibility that
whoever it is will try and get to her.

770
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,720
Morse? Reservations?

771
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,240
I think the only thing she's scared
of, sir, is us.

772
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,720
You reckon it's her?

773
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,360
She's lying through her teeth.
There's two options.

774
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,720
She did it or she knows who did.

775
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,080
Either way, I want her under
observation.

776
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:17,396
♪♪

777
00:50:51,852 --> 00:50:53,289
Stockings are in the shoes.

778
00:50:53,314 --> 00:50:57,354
You'll find the soles are blood-stained.
You've been there. You know what it was like.

779
00:51:00,004 --> 00:51:02,844
This is all you were wearing when
you went to Lake's?

780
00:51:02,965 --> 00:51:04,605
That's all.

781
00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:07,080
Was he a regular customer?

782
00:51:07,115 --> 00:51:09,315
When he was in town.
How often was that?

783
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,720
Till this last week I hadn't seen him
for a year, maybe.

784
00:51:13,493 --> 00:51:16,055
Does he know what you do? Pickman?

785
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,200
He knows what he needs to. Why?

786
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:21,640
Olympia. The painting he's working
on, the Manet knock-off.

787
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,920
Olympia was a common name used by
Parisian prostitutes.

788
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,760
Except she wasn't a tart, was she?

789
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:31,560
The model. Her name was Victorine Meurent.
She was an artist in her own right.

790
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,040
Her work was selected for exhibition,
Manet's wasn't.

791
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,360
Pickman tell you that?
I read it. In a book.

792
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,200
Do you think he's any good?

793
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,000
Not particularly.

794
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,720
He can't shake off the draughtsman's
training.

795
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,280
That's what they put him to in the
Army.

796
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,760
He doesn't seem the Army kind.

797
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,240
National Service, wasn't it?

798
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,920
I think that's how he knew Simon.

799
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,080
Simon Lake?

800
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,240
I saw him out at the windmill last
week.

801
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,040
That's when we picked up again.

802
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,800
What was his business with Pickman?

803
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,640
No idea.

804
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,160
First thing you learn in my game...

805
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:11,240
..you don't open your mouth.

806
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,320
Unless they ask you to.

807
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,520
Right.

808
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,160
(Rock music plays on radio)

809
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,320
(Music off)

810
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,160
Is this your idea of discreet
observation?

811
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,240
It's an unmarked car, not a concert
hall.

812
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,640
Yeah. All right.

813
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,480
Just keep your mind on the job and
make sure she doesn't try to leave.

814
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,320
Is she likely to?

815
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,840
When you're relieved, get these
booked into Forensics at the station.

816
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,280
Did you get the contents of Joey
Sikes's suitcase booked in?

817
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:01,800
Ohh.

818
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,960
Is this what I've got to look
forward to?

819
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,600
If I want something doing, I've got
to do it myself?

820
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,640
I forgot. Well, don't.

821
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,400
You're not paid to forget. You're
paid to remember.

822
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,000
Was it Miss Thorne? That's right.

823
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,760
Call received today from a Mr Lake
at 13.54.

824
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,640
"If Miss Thorne would care to call
round to Holywell Lane at 16:00."

825
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,280
Can you confirm when that was picked
up, and if so by whom?

826
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,880
Miss Astor?

827
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,960
This call from Mr Lake for Miss Thorne.
Has Miss Thorne picked it up yet?

828
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:57,440
I believe so.

829
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,280
I'll need the address for that
account.

830
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,640
I'm afraid the manager's gone home
for the evening.

831
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,800
He's the only one with access to
that information.

832
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,880
But from memory it's a temporary
agency, I think.

833
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,920
Thank you, Miss Astor.

834
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,240
Temporary agency?

835
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,520
Yeah. I can imagine what sort.

836
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,160
Home?

837
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,280
I'll walk, if it's all the same,
get a bit of clean air in my lungs.

838
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,840
I had three years on Vice, never
agreed with me.

839
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:37,520
Bodies bought and sold, lives ruined.
Not much more than kids, half of them - runaways.

840
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:40,800
You could see the sharks, the pimps
and the ponces,

841
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,760
queued up waiting for them at all
the big stations.

842
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,520
"Stand you a coffee, love?"

843
00:54:45,720 --> 00:54:47,880
Straight off the train, straight on
the game.

844
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,160
The worst of human nature
right there.

845
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,000
It's no work for a family man.

846
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,120
One for the road?

847
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,480
Yes.

848
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:05,480
Oh, er...no, I can't.

849
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,800
I want to get Joey Sikes's personal
possessions logged into Evidence.

850
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,840
Haven't you done that yet?

851
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,360
No, it slipped my mind. That's not
the example you wanna set Fancy.

852
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,880
You're a sergeant now. You gotta
look sharp.

853
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,760
Yeah.

854
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:22,720
Night, then.

855
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,240
Good night, sir.

856
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,120
Dad?

857
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,160
Fred?

858
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,600
You've been back ages.

859
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:53,920
Fred?

860
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,240
Joan's all right, in't she?

861
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:04,640
Happy?

862
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,280
She says.

863
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,000
I spoke to her earlier.

864
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:10,680
She rang.

865
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,960
I don't know what it is with you
pair.

866
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,160
she got back.

867
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:19,880
You've barely spoken to her since
she got back.

868
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,360
I know you were cross with her
going off.

869
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,760
I'd do anything for her.

870
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,800
I know you would.

871
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:34,840
If anything ever happened...

872
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,880
if she was in a spot...

873
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:39,520
..you'd say?

874
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:43,840
Come to bed.

875
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,480


876
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,440
So Lake was The Shadow?

877
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,640
Looks that way. Just off him having
the balaclava?

878
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,600
Roses are sold by the dozen,
traditionally. Yes. Why?

879
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,200
Ten in the vase, one in the safe...
And the 12th on the roof of Lonsdale.

880
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,280
He was trying to pinch his own
jewel?

881
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,040
Or get it in the papers and drive the
price up.

882
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,600
He knew Pickman, or had business
with him, according to Eve Thorne.

883
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,280
There's a student might be able to
shed some light. I'll talk to him.

884
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:49,920
Word through on Lake's flat, sir.

885
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,560
Gas and electric go through to
a Tancred Howlett.

886
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,600
FANCY: That's one of the dons at
Lonsdale. I had a statement off him.

887
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,640
He lives on the same stair as Grey.

888
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,280
Where have you been?

889
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,320
With her, I suppose.

890
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,240
An hour, you said.

891
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,800
That was two o'clock yesterday
afternoon.

892
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,160
Is this the woman you saw in the
quad with Grey?

893
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,400
I don't know. She was wearing a headscarf.
It was the white coat I recognised.

894
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,760
But that is Pickman's model?
Yeah. It's her.

895
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,760
And it's life studies she sits for?

896
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,560
Mostly.

897
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,040
Pickman's had us do her as
Botticelli's Venus.

898
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:54,040
The girl from Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe,
and any number of Gentileschi copies:

899
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,480
Giuditta Con La Sua Ancella, Susanna
E Vecchioni.

900
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,280
Do you ever see her outside of
class?

901
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:00,840
No.

902
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,880
But you want to.

903
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:08,120
She's a model. If she smiles at you
in class, she's being paid for it.
It's art.

904
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:09,840
Not real life.

905
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,360
Some of us can tell the difference.
Can Pickman?

906
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,160
Is he a good tutor?
Best I can afford.

907
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,920
How was it you know Simon Lake,
Dr Howlett?

908
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,960
We were up together...

909
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,560
..at St Alfredus.

910
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,160
But he got sent down.

911
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,040
For what? Conduct unbecoming.

912
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:35,760
Fleecing tourists at Find the Lady.

913
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,200
Seems a bit stiff.

914
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,760
He also got one of the cleaners
in trouble.

915
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,760
He said it wasn't his but someone had
to carry the can.

916
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,760
We stayed in touch and...

917
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,840
as he was in town...

918
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,640
But you don't live there yourself?

919
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:57,600
No, no. Er...I inherited the place
a couple of years ago from an uncle.

920
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,440
I wonder if you could shed any light
on this.

921
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,320
It's er... It looks like a menu.

922
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,680
I know what it looks like. I want to
know what it means.

923
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:14,360
Who's the Mock Turtle?

924
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,720
I wouldn't know.
Are you sure about that?

925
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:22,400
It was found in the pocket of a tailcoat hanging
in the wardrobe in your flat on HolywellLane.

926
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,920
My colleague found an identical
waistcoat in Dr Grey's room.

927
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,920
He said it looks like the order of
service for a dining club.

928
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,840
It was Robin's stag.

929
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,400
Robin was the Mock Turtle, hence...

930
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,800
The passing of the Mock Turtle, so...
What's this club?

931
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,040
The Berserkers.

932
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,080
Why so cagey? Why deny it?

933
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,160
I don't want to get involved in this.
Two people known to me have been murdered.

934
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,800
We know that.
Where was it held, the stag?

935
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,160
I don't know where.

936
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:59,200
I wasn't there. Adrian was there but
I was ill. I didn't go.

937
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:00,760
You've got the menu!

938
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,440
Robin saved one for me.

939
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,320
A souvenir.

940
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,560
What was your business with Simon
Lake?

941
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:11,480
Just that. Business.

942
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,440
He liked my work. I sold him the odd
piece.

943
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,320
You were in the Army together,
weren't you?

944
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,880
Altdorf. What is this?

945
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,000
We've got a Faberge gone missing

946
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,360
and two men connected with its sale
found dead.

947
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,280
Two men that you did National
Service with.

948
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,080
That's more than a coincidence.

949
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:31,920
I wouldn't know about that.

950
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:33,520
"He liked my work.

951
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,320
I sold him a few pieces."

952
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,760
Past tense. You knew he was dead
before I told you.

953
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,080
Now, look... A neighbour on Holywell
Lane heard a shot.

954
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,880
But I actually think it was your bike backfiring.
I heard it the first time I came here.

955
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,000
You were at Simon Lake's flat yesterday.
Did you kill him and take the egg?

956
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,120
Or was he dead when you arrived? I
didn't kill Simon or steal the egg!

957
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,000
I've seen the Cyrillic writing in
your barn.

958
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,480
Tell them, Gerry.

959
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,800
Cass! You tell them or I will.

960
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,720
Cass! She doesn't know what she's
talking about.

961
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,760
It was a con.

962
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,200
That's the kind of artist my husband
is.

963
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,560
You think I didn't know you were up
to something?

964
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:11,920
Think I didn't notice?

965
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,640
Your old Army mates just dropping by
out the blue?

966
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,120
Cass, please! I'm looking out for
the kids, Gerry.

967
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,520
He's an idiot. Easily led.

968
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,360
But he's not a killer.

969
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,000
If someone killed Robin and Simon
over the egg...

970
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,120
I don't want them coming for him
next.

971
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,160
So Lake never meant to go through
with the sale?

972
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,040
No, sir. It was intended as an
insurance fraud all along.

973
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,960
Lake planned to give the egg to Pickman
that afternoon and say it had been stolen.

974
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,800
When Pickman arrived to collect the
egg, it had already gone.

975
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:58,880
And he found Simon Lake murdered.
Three of them were involved in the fraud.

976
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,680
Lake paid Pickman to draft a design,
supposedly by Faberge,

977
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,800
in order to create false provenance.

978
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,960
Grey, the authority on Russian
Imperial jewellery, signed off on it.

979
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:12,040
How did they come by it in the first
place? THURSDAY: Pickman explained.

980
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,640
They were soldiers at a camp for
displaced persons on the East German border.

981
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:20,280
They transported some refugees to the
West in exchange for the egg.

982
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,280
But without the provenance it's
worthless.

983
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,840
They bided their time until they
could do something with it.

984
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,320
So where does that leave us? Could
Pickman have killed Lake and the rest,

985
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:30,560
taken the egg for himself?

986
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:34,840
If that had been his intention, why leave the
papers supporting its provenance behind?

987
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:38,240
The materials used in its making notwithstanding,
without them it's worthless.

988
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,560
If he's not got it, who has?

989
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,880
The killer presumably, sir.

990
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:43,240
We have got a further lead.

991
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,520
Very well. Carry on.

992
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,320
So, you are a Berserker, Dr Croxley?

993
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,840
Just a bunch of like-minded fellows,
making merry.

994
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,520
We've got two of your number dead.
Not much to be merry about.

995
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,560
All dons, is it?

996
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:00,520
In the main, though not exclusively.

997
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:04,440
The sole proviso of membership is one
must be a gentleman of quality.

998
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,680
You were at Dr Grey's stag party
last year.

999
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,920
Alas, a young man married.

1000
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,000
I take it from that you're a single
man yourself.

1001
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:17,240
Absolutely.

1002
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,840
"What passing bells...?" They don't
call it a morning suit for nothing.

1003
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,880
Why didn't Tancred Howlett attend?

1004
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,240
It's no great secret, not around
college.

1005
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,320
He'd entertained hopes of Lucy
himself.

1006
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,360
Was Robin Grey aware of that?

1007
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,400
Oh, yes.

1008
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,480
So...Dr Grey was there, Simon Lake.
Who else?

1009
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,760
It's a secret society.

1010
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,040
As an officer of rank, I'm sure
that's something you can respect.

1011
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,080
Middle-aged academics, prancing
around in waistcoats,

1012
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,680
calling each other daft names? I've
more time for the Tufty Club.

1013
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,080
I beg your pardon?
You can beg my fat arse!

1014
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,240
Grow up, Dr Croxley. You're too old
for the dressing-up box.

1015
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,760
There are no secrets as far as the
law's concerned.

1016
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,440
Well. Since you put it like that...

1017
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,440
..I can give you a list of those
I remember.

1018
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,320
Was Joey Sikes there?

1019
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,000
Doesn't ring a bell, I'm afraid. Who
is he?

1020
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:09,480
Where was the party held?

1021
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:11,920
I don't recall.

1022
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,360
Wouldn't be the Shiplake Chase
Hotel, by any chance?

1023
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,240
Really? Was that it?

1024
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,320
Shiplake Chase? Pulled that one out
the bag, didn't you?

1025
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,760
There was a bundle of bar bills in
Joey Sikes' suitcase. SC.

1026
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:39,720
Same as engraved on the knife that killed Grey.
And the silverware at Lake's.

1027
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,114
Go ahead, caller.

1028
01:06:55,212 --> 01:06:58,450
Good afternoon. I'd like to leave
a message for Miss Thorne.

1029
01:07:00,714 --> 01:07:00,817
♪♪

1030
01:07:15,755 --> 01:07:18,675
MAN: They said they were a rugby club
up from Cambridge.

1031
01:07:18,875 --> 01:07:22,515
I've been in the pub and hotel trade
for 30 years.

1032
01:07:22,540 --> 01:07:25,580
And I've never seen anything like it.
Played up, did they?

1033
01:07:25,780 --> 01:07:28,940
They looked very respectable in their
evening suits and waistcoats.

1034
01:07:29,740 --> 01:07:32,340
But once the wine was in...they went
berserk.

1035
01:07:32,500 --> 01:07:34,500
Everything smashed to pieces.

1036
01:07:34,700 --> 01:07:36,700
What they did to the pig's head
centrepiece...

1037
01:07:38,380 --> 01:07:41,820
I told them, "If I'd known you would
carry on like that, I'd have put straw down."

1038
01:07:42,060 --> 01:07:45,220
In the end, I threatened them with the police.
They asked to see the owner.

1039
01:07:45,380 --> 01:07:46,820
Gave him a cheque, did they?

1040
01:07:46,980 --> 01:07:48,780
I couldn't say, sir.

1041
01:07:48,940 --> 01:07:50,820
I refused to serve them.

1042
01:07:51,020 --> 01:07:53,540
And threatened to give notice if the
owner insisted.

1043
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:55,620
The rest of the staff did the same.

1044
01:07:56,340 --> 01:07:58,940
We closed the bar at 10.30 and left
them to it.

1045
01:08:00,060 --> 01:08:01,860
Have you had any thefts lately?

1046
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:06,500
We had some agency staff in for a
wedding about a month ago. Things went missing.

1047
01:08:06,700 --> 01:08:10,100
We did ask them to look into it,
but haven't heard back.

1048
01:08:11,220 --> 01:08:16,220
So two of the victims were members
of this disgusting dining club?

1049
01:08:16,380 --> 01:08:18,260
The... What is it?

1050
01:08:18,460 --> 01:08:20,620
The Berserkers, sir.
The Berserkers.

1051
01:08:20,660 --> 01:08:22,500
Sounds like a collection of
Philistines.

1052
01:08:22,700 --> 01:08:24,860
STRANGE: Joey Sikes wasn't a member,
sir.

1053
01:08:25,700 --> 01:08:31,780
The Philistines...put Samson's eyes
out after he was betrayed by Delilah.

1054
01:08:31,980 --> 01:08:34,180
The name on Grey's beer mat.
He was stabbed in the eyes.

1055
01:08:34,340 --> 01:08:36,140
And the rest?

1056
01:08:36,940 --> 01:08:38,540
I don't know.

1057
01:08:38,780 --> 01:08:43,060
That still leaves Eve Thorne as being
the only link between all three of them.

1058
01:08:43,220 --> 01:08:44,780
Anything from her answering service?

1059
01:08:45,020 --> 01:08:48,500
They're still compiling a list of messages.
Her bills go to 24 Tobacco Yard.

1060
01:08:48,700 --> 01:08:52,060
Tobacco Yard? That's the address of
Magdalen Cabs.

1061
01:08:53,260 --> 01:08:56,460
Call girls. That's what Joey Sikes
was running for you.

1062
01:08:56,660 --> 01:08:59,700
That's what he was doing in Holywell
Lane the night he got the hard word.

1063
01:08:59,900 --> 01:09:02,060
I don't know what you're talking
about.

1064
01:09:02,100 --> 01:09:06,020
I'll spell it out for you. The
client gets the girl's name and
number from a contactbook.

1065
01:09:06,220 --> 01:09:09,380
Same kind of contact book I found in
Joey Sikes' flat.

1066
01:09:10,700 --> 01:09:14,140
He calls and leaves a message for
Eve or Jezebel

1067
01:09:14,340 --> 01:09:17,460
or whichever belle de jour takes his
fancy with an answering service.

1068
01:09:17,660 --> 01:09:21,020
The girls ring in as often as needs
be to pick up their messages.

1069
01:09:21,260 --> 01:09:26,580
But if it's particularly urgent and can't wait,
the messages relay to Magdalen Cabs.

1070
01:09:26,780 --> 01:09:29,740
But you know that because you're
paying the bills.

1071
01:09:29,940 --> 01:09:33,020
THURSDAY: Anything you'd like to say?
Can't help you.

1072
01:09:33,220 --> 01:09:35,780
Let's see if a night in the cells
can't jog your memory.

1073
01:09:35,940 --> 01:09:37,340
On what charge?

1074
01:09:37,540 --> 01:09:40,780
Procurement, conspiracy to corrupt
public morals. Take your pick.

1075
01:09:40,940 --> 01:09:42,460
Either way, you're nicked.

1076
01:09:51,700 --> 01:09:54,220
Afternoon, sir. How may I be of
service?

1077
01:09:54,900 --> 01:09:57,620
A few things my wife asked me to pick
up.

1078
01:09:57,820 --> 01:10:01,060
I've er...got a list here, if that's
a help.

1079
01:10:23,140 --> 01:10:24,820
Your mum said you were back.

1080
01:10:27,340 --> 01:10:29,820
All right, are you?

1081
01:10:29,980 --> 01:10:31,660
I'm fine.

1082
01:10:33,260 --> 01:10:34,700
New flat?

1083
01:10:34,860 --> 01:10:36,460
That's right.

1084
01:10:37,540 --> 01:10:40,900
Just me and two girlfriends. No men,
if that's what you're wondering.

1085
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:43,940
I just wanted to see how you were.
Checking up on me? No.

1086
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:47,460
I can let you have my flatmates'
names if you want to run them past Records.

1087
01:10:47,620 --> 01:10:49,380
I just want things to be right.

1088
01:10:49,540 --> 01:10:50,740
Right?

1089
01:10:51,620 --> 01:10:54,340
How they were. We always got on.

1090
01:10:55,620 --> 01:10:56,860
You can't fix it.

1091
01:10:57,060 --> 01:10:59,380
I've seen what happens when you try
to fix things.

1092
01:10:59,580 --> 01:11:04,180
There are bad things in the world,
Joanie, bad people, wickedness.

1093
01:11:04,380 --> 01:11:07,300
I've only tried to keep you safe
from that. Nobody asked you to.

1094
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:09,980
You, your mum and Sam. If I've come
up short...

It's 1968.

1096
01:11:12,660 --> 01:11:16,020
I'm not your little girl any more.
People have to make their own mistakes.

1097
01:11:23,860 --> 01:11:25,340
Say hello to Mum for me.

1098
01:11:49,860 --> 01:11:51,820
Anything?

1099
01:11:52,020 --> 01:11:55,300
Residents in and out. Florist dropped
off some flowers. That's about it.

1100
01:11:55,500 --> 01:11:58,340
She hasn't been in or out?
Not since I've been here.

1101
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:00,380
Fancy said the same.

1102
01:12:01,620 --> 01:12:04,540
You think she did it?
I think she's a dangerous woman.

1103
01:12:16,340 --> 01:12:19,980
I've got a list of temps that worked
the wedding at Shiplake Chase.

That was quick. You asked for it.

Good man too.

I don't know about that, sir.

There's not many'd take Morse in.

1109
01:12:33,700 --> 01:12:35,700
He'd do the same for me.

Would he?

1111
01:12:38,380 --> 01:12:41,860
He's a prickly bugger at the best of
times... just how he is.

Wanted to be an artist.

1134
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,560
Did a bit of modelling, dancing,
just to make ends.

1135
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,600
Got in with the wrong crowd.

Is that why you invited me in?

1147
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:36,760
Maybe.

1148
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:40,040
You got a girl?

Didn't think so.

None of your business.

It's exactly my business.

Why "weibermacht"? What?

1169
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,840
The inscription. "Weibermacht...the
power of women."

1170
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,160
The hand that rocks the cradle,
right?

1171
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,080
It's an artistic theme.

1172
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:12,800
Powerful men brought down by women.

Is that what this is about?

1174
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,440
Is that why they've been killed in
such a specific manner?

1175
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,480
How would I know?

1176
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,520
Unless I killed them.

1177
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,160
They don't touch me, if that's what
worries you.

1178
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:36,120
They might think they do. They get
her for an hour or two.

1179
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,680
They get exactly what they paid for.
They don't get me.

Listen, tiger.

01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,720
How many times have you fitted
someone up, planted evidence,

1184
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,240
knocked a confession out of some
poor bastard? Never!

1185
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:51,760
You will. No.

1186
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,920
That's what coppers do. I know.

1187
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,240
I've seen it, I've lived it,
so don't tell me.

1188
01:18:57,480 --> 01:19:01,040
You might think you're above it all but
you're down in the dirt with the rest of us.

1189
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,880
Go to bed! Bastard!

1190
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,880
Why don't you make me?

1191
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:37,120
(Door closes)

1192
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:51,280
(Doorbell rings)

1193
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,160
You're not Miss Evie.

1194
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,960
Eve Thorne was at Shiplake Chase, the
entertainment for Robin Grey's stag night.

1195
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:12,520
She wasn't alone. Ruth Astor, the telephonist,
her name came up on a list of agency staff

1196
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,600
sent to Shiplake Chase. We should
go. Where? Adrian Croxley's.

1197
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,040
I was looking forward to a nice
dolly party.

1198
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:22,120
All girls together.
Evie couldn't come.

1199
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:26,800
I suppose you'll do.

1200
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,520
Eve Thorne, RA. I thought the RA
stood for Royal Academy.

1201
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:33,920
Only, it was Ruth Astor.

1202
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:37,360
They must've both been hired to be the
entertainment for Robin Grey's stag.

1203
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,520
THURSDAY: And Joey Sikes was the
driver.

1204
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:41,240
Here.

1205
01:20:41,440 --> 01:20:44,960
Put some of this on her. She looks
like death warmed up.

1206
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:47,600
Smile.

1207
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:52,240
I can't. Yes, you can.

1208
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,080
And you be nice.

1209
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:56,960
You don't remember me, do you?

1210
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,760
Something terrible happened at
Shiplake Chase that night.

1211
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,880
I don't think I've had the pleasure.

1212
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,000
You have.

1213
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,360
Very good. We have some
entertainment for you.

1214
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,880
(Lewd laughter)

1215
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:16,880
Very pretty. Fantastic wine, this.
Cheers.

1216
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:23,800
What are you doing?
I tried to forget about you.

1217
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:25,520
Believe me, I tried.

1218
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,320
Eddie gave her a job at the telephone
message service by way of a pay-off.

1219
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,240
He was the one who sent her there
after all.

1220
01:21:35,440 --> 01:21:39,480
Make it right, Eddie. You get her
fixed up. You make her right.

1221
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,720
Which would leave her perfectly placed
to hunt them all down one by one.

1222
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,160
Good afternoon. It's Dr Grey here.

1223
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,920
RUTH: It was Grey's voice
I recognised first.

1224
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:52,120
Then yours.

1225
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:55,560
But Lake's was the hardest to find.

1226
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,360
I had to... I had to wait.

1227
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:01,880
But I had time.

1228
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,240
I'd like to leave a message, please.

1229
01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:07,960
So she goes back to Shiplake Chase,
posing as an agency temp.

1230
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,200
And steals the silverware she used to
kill Grey and Lake.

1231
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,000
I wanted you to know who was coming.

1232
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:22,960
(Two gunshots)

1233
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,960
THURSDAY: Why drive a skewer into
Joey's ear when she's already shot him?

1234
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:33,600
MORSE: Many of these scenes of vengeful
women were painted by Artemisia Gentileschi.

1235
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,440
She also suffered at the hands of
men, just like Ruth Astor.

1236
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:41,120
Jael, who slew Sisera by driving
a tent peg into his temple.

1237
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:52,600
Samson, undone by Delilah, before being
delivered into the hands of the Philistines

1238
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,640
to be blinded.

1239
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:00,360
THURSDAY: Which makes Lake what?

1240
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:02,240
Holofernes, perhaps?

1241
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,160
Being beheaded by Judith.

1242
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,520
I wanted you to know what it felt
like...

1243
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,280
..to feel powerless and afraid.

1244
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,040
So what's she got in store for
Adrian Croxley?

1245
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:18,920
You're frightened now, right?

1246
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:21,480
(Grunts)

1247
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,520
(He splutters)

1248
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,360
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is
with thee

1249
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,000
Blessed art thou among women

1250
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:33,960
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.

1251
01:23:46,440 --> 01:23:48,120
(Mocking laughter echoes)

1252
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,560
Leave her go! MAN: Ooh!

1253
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:52,560
You'll pay for this, you bastards.

1254
01:23:59,480 --> 01:24:01,280
It was you.

1255
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,160
I thought it had to be.

1256
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,000
Ruth.

1257
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:09,480
Ruthie.

1258
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,040
Darling, you've got to get away from here.
The police are coming, sweetheart.

1259
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,080
Let go of the knife, eh?

1260
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,840
Ruth! Oh, Ruthie, what have you done
to yourself?

1261
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,800
I got them.

1262
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:37,960
I know, baby.

1263
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:39,400
I know.

1264
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,440
All of them.

1265
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:47,640
I tried... It was too much.

1266
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:53,440
(Sobs)

1267
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,240
Get away. You don't touch her.
Nobody's gonna touch her!

1268
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:10,520
She needs an ambulance.

1269
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,560
No. No.

1270
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,080
No, she doesn't want an ambulance.

1271
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,600
She'll die! Nobody touches her!

1272
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:30,160
Ruth? Come on. Come on.

1273
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:34,640
Ruth... Ruthie? (Sobs)

1274
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,320
Ruthie.

1275
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,640
BRIGHT: Can we charge her with
anything?

1276
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,680
If she knew this girl was the killer?

1277
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:59,640
I don't think she was certain, sir.

1278
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,400
Not until the end.

1279
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,840
It would be the devil to prove
otherwise.

1280
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:07,280
Who was she, this girl?
Ruth Astor, sir.

1281
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,320
No family as far as we can make out.

1282
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:15,120
Eve Thorne seems to have been the
only person to show her any kindness.

1283
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:16,680
She helped her out.

1284
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,400
Helped her get back on her feet
after...Shiplake Chase.

1285
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,680
She did all that?

1286
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,360
They all wanted something they
couldn't have, I suppose.

1287
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,160
Doesn't everyone?

1288
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:46,760
RADIO: Police are looking for a young
white man, well dressed, medium build,

1289
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:52,640
driving a white Mustang, who shot and possibly
critically wounded Dr Martin Luther King, Jr

1290
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,360
at his hotel room in Memphis,
Tennessee, this evening.

1291

subtitles by Deluxe

1292
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:27,440
.

1293
01:27:29,880 --> 01:28:29,840
We are sorry that we cannot bring you
subtitles at the moment.
