? SCHUBERT:
Quintet in C Major, 2nd Movement

2
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,713
Are you managing?

3
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,470
- Yeah, it's nothing. A loose wire.
- l can make some tea, if you'd care for some.

4
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,512
No, thanks, love. lt's gone five. l'll be home soon.

5
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,676
lf you're sure.

6
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,477
(Knocks)
- That'll do it, mate.

7
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,511
You had a Ioose connection.

8
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,831
Susan? l'm not disturbing you, am l?

9
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,076
Good. l'm sorry, darling,
but the phone's been out all day, you see.

10
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,111
l've just had it repaired.

11
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,640
Yes. Yes, I'm fine.

12
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,671
How's the work coming?

13
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,711
Good. l'm glad.

14
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,918
Yes. Now, listen. l'd better let you get on with it.

15
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,951
Good luck with the lecture.

16
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,353
l miss you.

17
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,391
Goodbye.

18
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,956
It's OK, then?

19
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,638
Yes.

20
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,273
My wife.

21
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,153
- She Iikes to know I'm aII right.
- l can modify your phone

22
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,272
if, you know, you find it difficuIt.

23
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,151
Yes, l know.

24
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,471
(Gunshot)

25
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,114
(Birds squawking)

26
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,189
(Phone rings)
- Thames Valley Police. Can l help?

27
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,151
LEWlS: Hi, Joe.

28
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:41,590
- Can you look at this roster, please, sarge?
- ln the morning, eh?

29
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,073
Sergeant Lewis.

30
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,351
What now, man?
l should have been away half an hour ago.

31
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,799
lt's a shooting, sarge.

32
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,878
Sergeant Lewis.

33
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,517
(Camera clicking)
- Can we open the curtains, Sergeant?

34
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,949
- Are you mad?
- My flash has gone.

35
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,275
Well, where's your spare, for God's sake?

36
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,834
lt's back at the station, waiting for repair.

37
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,111
(Police radios)

38
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,599
- Sir.
- What have we got, Lewis?

39
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,951
Suicide, sir, most likely.

40
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,991
lt's pretty messy over there.

41
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,196
His name's Henry Fallon.

42
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,030
Found by his son-in-Iaw, Mr Peter Rhodes.
He's outside in the haII.

43
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,800
MORSE: Where is Mrs FaIIon?

44
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,717
We don't know that there is one yet.

45
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,595
Oh, yes. There is one, Lewis.

46
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,868
LEWlS: Can you teII us why you were here, sir?

47
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,514
RHODES: I had a six o'cIock appointment.

48
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,551
What was the appointment about?

49
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,114
Well, it was...

50
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,196
lt's difficult to be precise, Sergeant.

51
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,880
It was business.

52
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,276
My father-in-law helped me
set up my antique shop, you see.

53
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,119
Only, when l arrived, l found him like that.

54
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,629
You got here at six o'clock?

55
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:49,795
Oh, yes.

56
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,434
Henry was a stickIer for punctuaIity.

57
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,433
Do you have any idea where Mrs Fallon is, sir?

58
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,471
- London.
- She lives there?

59
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,192
No, no, she Iives here.

60
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,233
She lectures occasionally at London University.
She has a flat she uses.

61
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,318
I'm afraid I don't know the number.
The University wouId know.

62
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,351
What about Mrs Fallon's brother?

63
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,950
- WouId he know?
- William? Yes, l'm sure he would.

64
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,036
Why don't you go and ask him, Lewis?

65
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,152
- I can see to Mr Rhodes.
- Right, sir.

66
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,035
Take the London road.
Turn off for Watlington. lt's called Byres Hall.

67
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,071
You'II see it on the Ieft, a miIe on.

68
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,760
LEWlS: CouId I have a word, sir?

69
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,871
Couldn't we just phone, sir?

70
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,355
The wife's got her knitting bee coming over,

71
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,948
and l'm taking the kids to the pictures.

72
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,355
lt's hellish inconvenient, l know,

73
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,755
but since we are dealing with a violent death,

74
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,589
l thought the personal touch
would be more appropriate.

75
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,796
Right, sir. Near Watlington.

76
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,388
And if you can spare the time,

77
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,909
try to get something out of the pathologist.

78
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,951
Yes, sir.

79
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,515
When did you last see your father-in-law,
Mr Rhodes, before this evening?

80
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,551
Last night. Here.

81
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,989
How did he seem to you?

82
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,557
Henry was a difficult man to read.
l thought he was all right.

83
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,353
And his disability - when did that happen?

84
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,429
lt's a neurological disorder, Chief lnspector.
He'd been ill for a while.

85
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,074
Over two years.

86
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,111
And the gun? You've seen it before?

87
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,834
Once or twice.

88
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,871
He usually kept it in a drawer.

89
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,678
Do you know the family, Chief lnspector?

90
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,951
(Dog barking)

91
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,719
Er...Detective Sergeant Lewis,

92
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,751
Thames VaIIey PoIice.

93
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,791
ls Mr Bryce-Morgan in, please?

94
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,631
(Electrical whirring)

95
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,073
(Scottish accent) It's a body
from the constabuIary, Master WiIIiam.

96
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,033
Name of Sergeant Lewis.

97
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,071
(Shouts) Sergeant who?

98
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,191
Lewis.

99
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,709
(Turns off machine)
- Better.

100
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,751
Now, start again, will you?

101
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,112
Sergeant Lewis, man. He's fae the poIis.

102
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,151
All right, McGregor. That'll do.

103
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,791
That's quite a machine, sir.

104
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,356
Better than any beast, Sergeant.
Doesn't eat, doesn't pooh.

105
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,268
One hour three times daily keeps me fit as a flea.
You should have one.

106
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,312
Oh, l wouldn't know where to put it, sir.

107
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,351
Between your knees, man.

108
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,155
No, l meant... Never mind.

109
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,555
Well, what can l do for you, Sergeant?

110
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,194
l'm afraid it's bad news.
Your brother-in-law...

111
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,515
Henry? What's he been up to?

112
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,234
l'm sorry to have to tell you, sir, he's dead.

113
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,238
l see.

114
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,440
Well, we were expecting it, of course,
but the medics said another year at least.

115
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,551
l don't understand, sir.

116
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,274
He wasn't a well man, Sergeant.

117
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,550
Mr FaIIon was found shot, sir.

118
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:26,195
Shot?! Well, was it an accident, or what?

119
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,709
l'm afraid it's too early to say what it was.

120
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,751
But you've seen him, sureIy?

121
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,393
l'm sorry, sir.

122
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,071
He's killed himself, hasn't he?

123
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,112
That's it, isn't it?

124
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,151
Poor fellow.

125
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,750
The thing is, sir,
we haven't been able to contact Mrs Fallon yet.

126
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,519
No, no, no. Susie's in London, Sergeant.

127
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,279
l must go there at once. l must fetch her home.

128
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,118
McGregor!

129
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,111
McGregor!

130
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,358
McGregor!

131
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,391
(Horn honking)

132
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,631
Susie.

133
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,951
l didn't mean to disturb you, Susie.

134
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,711
l fear l have some very rotten news.

135
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,995
Can l help at all?

136
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,715
- We were looking for Sergeant Lewis.
- l think he's out at the moment.

137
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,673
- Can anyone eIse heIp?
- lt's all right, Constable.

138
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,229
WlLLlAM: Morse?

139
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,594
Steady, now!

140
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,917
WPC: Get us a glass of water, Charlie.
Let's get her over here.

141
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,758
SUSAN: l'll be all right.

142
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,314
WlLLlAM: Do as the girI says, Susie.

143
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,592
- Please don't fuss. l'll be all right.
- You don't look well. You've had a shock.

144
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,110
- l'm fine.
- A really terrible shock. Sip the water, please.

145
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,591
l'd like to know about Henry.

146
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,231
Your son-in-law found him.

147
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:39,432
lt still has to be confirmed,
but it seems he may have taken his own life.

148
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,232
Did you have any reason to beIieve
that he might...?

149
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,671
His illness would have left him
completely helpless long before he died.

150
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,960
l suppose we both knew
he'd never let that happen.

151
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,231
When did you last speak to Henry?

152
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,471
He called me in London.

153
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,152
lt was just after five.
l'd spent the day at the flat working.

154
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,229
Did he say anything...
that might suggest his intentions?

155
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,631
He was very brief.

156
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,669
l had the impression
there was someone in the room with him.

157
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,633
He'd just had the phone repaired.

158
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,671
He didn't say anything much.

159
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,991
Only that he was fine.

160
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,350
l...think you should go home now, Susan.

161
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,998
Got it, sir.
l had to drag the poor bloke out of a dinner party.

162
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,989
Then l've wasted both your evenings, Lewis.
And for nothing, as it turned out.

163
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,117
William Bryce-Morgan just brought Mrs Fallon in.

164
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,800
Yeah. l just saw her, sir.

165
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,230
She had no difficulty accepting it was suicide,
Lewis.

166
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:07,471
She said she'd been expecting it.

167
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,993
Well, that's about it, then, sir.

168
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,954
The tests showed traces of lead and gunpowder
on Fallon's hand.

169
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,551
You...haven't said how you know them, sir.
The Fallons.

170
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,148
Henry Fallon was a don when l was at Oxford.

171
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,236
Law.

172
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,590
He was quite brilliant.

173
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,075
What about Mrs Fallon?

174
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,751
lt was Mrs Fallon l knew, Lewis.
Before she became Mrs Fallon.

175
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,431
We were engaged to be married.

176
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,958
Hello.

177
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,399
Hello.

178
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,551
You're...all right?

179
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,192
Yes. Er...l was just about to go for a walk.

180
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,511
This isn't police business.
l thought we might talk.

181
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,431
Had you lived long in America?

182
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,599
Since just after we were married.
Henry was offered a professorship.

183
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,631
What did you do?

184
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,912
l took a crash course in American literature
and ended up teaching it.

185
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,077
When Henry's illness was diagnosed,
we came home to England.

186
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,872
He wanted the peace and quiet.

187
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,791
That...must have been
a very difficult time for you.

188
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,153
ln the beginning, yes.

189
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,272
You can adjust to the prospect of loss.

190
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,311
lt's when it comes suddenly...

191
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,959
We had a daughter, you know. Henrietta.

192
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,310
And a grandson. Paul.

193
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,432
They both died in a car accident
two and a half years ago.

194
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,518
Yes, l read about it. l'm very sorry.

195
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,198
Thank you.

196
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,191
But tell me about you.

197
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,231
Nothing much to tell, really.

198
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,752
After l left Oxford, l went into the Army.

199
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,713
When l came out, l joined the Police Force.

200
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,751
l've been there ever since.

201
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,791
You never married?

202
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,831
No. No, l never married.

203
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,391
l shall never regret what l did.

204
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,111
Henry was an exceptional man.

205
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,631
lf he hadn't been so...

206
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,592
What I'm trying to say is...
it wasn't an easy decision.

207
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,238
Thank you.

208
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,989
When Henry's things have been sorted out,

209
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,111
l shall be going away from here.

210
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,196
l think you should know that.

211
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,678
NURSE: It started out as a normaI enough day.

212
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,510
Except...that, when l arrived,
the phone wasn't working.

213
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,395
Mr Fallon asked me to report it,
so...l went to a public call box.

214
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,910
ln the afternoon,
l went for the shopping at the usual time.

215
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,679
I was gone about an hour.

216
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,395
I Ieft the house at...5:45...

217
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,069
and I know Mr FaIIon was aIive then

218
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,113
because...l waved to him at the study window.

219
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,631
Erm...l take a short cut
to the road at the back of the house.

220
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,479
And...

221
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,318
l could see him.

222
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,874
Thank you, Nurse Rogers.

223
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,272
SUSAN: We were very, very happy.

224
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:04,271
Henry loved America.

225
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,232
He loved his work.

226
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,039
We were happier
than any couple had a right to be.

227
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,671
Would you describe, Mrs Fallon,

228
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,997
your husband's state of mind
immediately prior to his death?

229
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:27,556
He was finding his physical disability
almost impossible to tolerate.

230
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,111
But he knew it would not stop there.

231
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,391
The thought of being mentally incapacitated...
horrified him.

232
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,111
Thank you, Mrs FaIIon.

233
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,591
l'll see you outside, sir.

234
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,352
CORONER: I wouId now Iike the pathoIogist
in charge of the postmortem examination

235
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,914
to take the stand and present his findings.

236
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,352
PATHOLOGlST: I swear
that the evidence I shaII give shaII be the truth,

237
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,836
the whoIe truth, and nothing but the truth.

238
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,871
(Clock chimes)

239
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,198
All over, then?

240
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,833
Suicide.

241
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,589
- Well, there was never any doubt, was there?
- l suppose not.

242
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,479
LEWlS: It's stiII very hard on Mrs FaIIon, though.

243
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,150
Excuse me, Lewis.

244
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,599
Susan.

245
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,790
That must have been quite an ordeal for you.

246
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,070
At least it's over with.

247
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,191
How long will you be staying?

248
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,197
A week or so.

249
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,075
Henry wanted the College
to have his books and papers.

250
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:04,112
This erm...is hardly the right moment,

251
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,394
l know, but...since we've so little time,
l thought perhaps we might see each other.

252
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,995
Please. lt would mean a great deal to me.

253
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,160
l shall probably be very poor company.

254
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,191
l doubt that.

255
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,479
Can l call you, then, in a day or two?

256
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,591
lf you like.

257
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,877
You know, it kind of explains things, sir.

258
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,039
Losing a woman like that,
l think l might have turned a bit sour myself.

259
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,271
Sorry, Lewis? What did you say?

260
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,469
Nothing, sir. l made a bad joke, that's all.

261
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,431
Shall we go?

262
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,678
No, you go. You go. l'll erm...l'll walk, l think.

263
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,151
Not this evening, Lewis, surely?

264
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,191
No, it's nothing pressing, sir.

265
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,471
lt's from a Dr John Marriat.
Wants us to call round and see him.

266
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,318
Do you know him?

267
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,433
Well, l do and l don't.
l know l've heard of him, but l can't place where.

268
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,189
Anyway, he's Henry Fallon's GP, apparently.

269
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,038
Big night ahead?

270
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,233
l'm going to listen to some music, Lewis...
with Mrs Fallon.

271
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:55,318
Oh. l'm off out myself, as a matter of fact.

272
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,834
Make up for the knitting bee débâcle.

273
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,310
Salim's, sir. lndian restaurant. Just opened up.

274
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,595
l'm a steak-and-baked-spud man, myself,

275
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,917
but Mrs Lewis likes to live on the culinary edge,
as it were.

276
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:17,035
Well, l hope you and Mrs Lewis have a fine time,
Sergeant.

277
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,071
Thank you, sir. You too.

278
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,711
? SCHUBERT: Quintet in C, 4th Movement

279
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,232
lt was very moving.

280
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,231
You sound surprised.

281
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:41,238
Wasn't Schubert a favourite of yours?

282
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,672
No, it's surprising finding l'm still receptive to it.

283
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,711
l'm sorry. l'm being morbid.

284
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,159
No.

285
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,669
We need to mourn.

286
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,032
Perhaps even feel guilty
about having survived our loved ones.

287
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,152
But you mustn't punish yourself, Susan.

288
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,191
Life must go on?

289
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,034
l think that's what l'm trying to say, yes.

290
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,393
Henry's GP,

291
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,033
Marriat...

292
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,479
Yes?

293
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,398
He's asked to see me. Have you any idea why?

294
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,193
No, l haven't spoken to him
since before Henry died.

295
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,231
l thought he'd be at the inquest.

296
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,430
- More champagne, madam?
- No, thank you.

297
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,471
No, l'm fine, thanks.

298
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,470
You...said you were going away.

299
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,511
Can you tell me where?

300
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,198
l'm not sure yet.

301
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,629
There are worse places than Oxford.

302
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,031
l've lost a great deal here.

303
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,639
So have l.

304
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,991
l'm sorry. That was unfair.

305
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,038
Did you hate me?

306
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,673
When l left you?

307
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,711
Hate you?

308
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,636
My God, Susan...

309
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:08,031
Would you like to go?

310
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,556
l knew l'd be poor company. l'm sorry.

311
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,351
Good night.

312
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,632
ls your husband likely to be much longer,
Mrs Marriat?

313
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,354
He's with his Iast patient now, Chief Inspector.

314
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,391
He gives them plenty of time.

315
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,115
My husband wages a one-man war
against sickness, Sergeant.

316
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,708
(Door opening)

317
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,391
Could you fix Mr Hall up with an appointment
for next week? Thanks, Helen.

318
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,431
Chief lnspector Morse?

319
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,754
Yes.

320
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,917
Sorry to have kept you.
Do you want to come through? Thanks.

321
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,395
Henry's condition was quite rare, Chief lnspector.

322
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,229
Only about a dozen or so cases
in the UK annually.

323
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,114
l'd been monitoring his condition
every week for the last two years.

324
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,556
This is Henry's signature.

325
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,875
It's a crude but effective indicator.

326
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,308
You can see the degeneration is quite marked.

327
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,234
l don't understand the significance, Doctor.

328
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,836
Well, l have absolutely no doubt
that Henry Fallon intended to take his own life.

329
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,554
l mean, we discussed it often enough.

330
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,752
l also personally believe that it was his right.

331
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,793
You may know that l am a member
of an organisation which espouses...

332
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,433
LEWlS: Dignity.

333
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,357
- What?
- Sorry, sir.

334
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,870
Dignity is your organisation?
l've read about you in the paper.

335
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,309
Yeah, well, l make no secret of my views...

336
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,557
although some people say
a doctor shouldn't hold them.

337
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,148
Go on.

338
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,317
Well, when l heard how Henry died,
l became curious.

339
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,512
You see, Henry may have been able
to hold a spoon to his mouth,

340
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,598
or turn the pages of a book,

341
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,475
but it's almost certain that he couldn't have
held a gun to his head and pulled the trigger.

342
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,435
Are you sure about that?

343
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,791
Well, as l say, l'm almost certain, yeah.

344
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,632
Well, it's a pity you didn't come forward sooner.
At the inquest, for example.

345
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,718
Yes, l'm sorry, but l was on holiday in Scotland.

346
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,353
l saw Mrs Marriat there.

347
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,393
Yes, well,
Helen's never been one for salmon fishing.

348
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,431
And this is a shared practice.

349
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,471
It bareIy functions without her.

350
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,553
This information could have serious implications.

351
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,437
Yes, l realise that, but l felt it was
my responsibility to make my views known.

352
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,870
l'd like our own medical people
to look at this material.

353
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,879
Certainly, Chief lnspector, but l would like it back.

354
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,596
l hope in due course to interest
some of the medical journals with my findings,

355
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,555
so l'd be interested to hear
what your colleagues think of my efforts.

356
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,591
So will l, Doctor. Believe me.

357
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,631
- Thank you.
- Bye-bye.

358
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,391
You were at the inquest?

359
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,596
Why?

360
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,154
l was curious.

361
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,751
Where the hell does that leave us?

362
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,474
lt leaves us looking like bloody fools, Lewis.

363
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,034
But where does it leave Peter Rhodes?

364
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,120
STRANGE: Oh, for heaven's sake, Morse!

365
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,800
You said it was suicide.

366
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,956
The coroner said it was suicide.

367
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,116
Now some GP comes down from Ben Nevis,

368
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,708
waving a few sheets of A4,
and it's all up in the air.

369
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,719
l'm not saying we should turn a blind eye,
but isn't it all a bit tenuous?

370
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,751
What do our people think?

371
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,078
The pathologist got the material last night.
We're seeing him later today.

372
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,715
We're not going to look good, Morse, are we?
Not good at all.

373
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,789
l'm lunching with the Chief Constable,
for God's sake. lf l ever get there.

374
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,717
What am l supposed to tell him?

375
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,550
That our suicide isn't a suicide, after all,
and we're now on a murder investigation?

376
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,591
lt can hardly be that, sir.

377
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,678
lf it is murder, there's only one suspect.

378
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,758
- Who?
- Fallon's son-in-law. Peter Rhodes.

379
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,998
Fallon's nurse saw him alive at 5:45, sir.
Rhodes was there at six.

380
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,271
A random killer wouldn't have had time
to fake a suicide.

381
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,996
The gun was kept in a drawer, out of sight.
Peter Rhodes knew that.

382
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,715
lt's difficult to see how anyone else
could have done it, given the time.

383
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,751
Well, l suppose that's something -

384
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,589
a prime suspect, before we're even sure
a crime's been committed.

385
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,950
You can tell that to the Chief Constable, sir.

386
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,436
(Engine starts)
- At last. Thank God for that.

387
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,915
Well, you'd better have a go at it, Morse.

388
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,395
And try and get it right this time, would you?

389
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,709
Oh, Morse.
Take a closer look at that Marriat fellow.

390
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,070
You seem to be putting a lot of faith in him.

391
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,430
Yes, sir. l'd never have thought of that.

392
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,191
l fancy we spoiled his lunch, sir.

393
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,311
Heaven forbid, Lewis.

394
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,391
ls Murray Stone here?

395
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,957
Mr Stone? Sergeant Lewis,
Thames Valley Police. Can l have a word?

396
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,753
Why were you interested in Mrs Marriat?

397
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,316
l wasn't. No, she reckoned
she'd been a bit of a model or something.

398
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,398
l thought it was a nice angle:
''The Beauty and Dr Death.''

399
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,670
Dug around. Came up with that Iot.

400
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,711
So, what's all this about, then?

401
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,391
Oh, we might have to call him as a witness
in a trial that's coming up.

402
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,796
- We don't want any surprises.
- Pfff, fat chance.

403
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,150
No, he's clean, Sergeant.

404
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,191
l was after the euthanasia thing.

405
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,551
l was told he could say what he liked
so long as he didn't practise it.

406
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,636
What did you think of him?

407
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,671
Nice. Polite.

408
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,473
Nothing too much trouble. A bit of a creep, really.

409
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,711
Yeah. l know what you mean.

410
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,434
- Good-looking woman.
- Ain't she just?

411
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,791
Makes you wonder
what she's doing with a prat like him.

412
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,196
- So, what's this case, then?
- lt's a bit early to say.

413
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,356
But l'll remember your co-operation.

414
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,199
Yeah, that'll be nice, yeah. You'll want my card.

415
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,878
Ta.

416
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,751
What did he say?

417
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,998
lf Marriat's records are correct,
Fallon couldn't have killed himself.

418
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,951
How about you?

419
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,073
Well, try as l'm sure he did,
the journalist couldn't lay a glove on Marriat.

420
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,111
Have we been conned, Lewis?

421
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,476
l don't know, sir.

422
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,558
What l can't figure out is why Rhodes called us.

423
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,798
lf he'd killed Fallon, why not just leave
and let someone else find the body?

424
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,911
Maybe he's cleverer than that.

425
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,719
l'd like you to go round there tomorrow.
Let him know we're interested.

426
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,751
What are you going to do?

427
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,917
l suppose l shall have to talk to Mrs Fallon.

428
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,437
Have you seen much of Morse?

429
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,431
Some.

430
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,068
l always liked him, you know.

431
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,634
Good man in a crisis. That was my impression.

432
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,795
Has he changed much? Essentially, l mean.

433
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,831
No, l don't think he has.

434
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,198
Well, then.

435
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,997
- l'm afraid it's too late for that.
- Nonsense.

436
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,156
Women aren't meant to be on their own.

437
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,350
Never have been, never wiII be.

438
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,439
- And what about men?
- Chaps are a different cIass of being aItogether.

439
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,075
Much better equipped
to cope with the privations of the solitary life.

440
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,317
It's not easy, I can teII you, but...

441
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,752
What l thought was... Well...Sunday lunch.

442
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,316
Why don't I get McGregor
to Iook out a coupIe of extra nosebags,

443
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,193
and you and Morse can join me here for a feed?

444
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,234
Perhaps. We'll see.

445
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,158
Sergeant Lewis?

446
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,317
l thought you were a customer.
Not here to buy, are you?

447
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,670
Er...not on my salary, sir.

448
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,109
Not unless your antiques come in flat packs.

449
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:57,631
They are a bit pricey, l'm afraid.
lt's the nature of the business.

450
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,270
So, how can l help you, Sergeant?

451
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,675
Well, l've come about Mr Fallon, actually.

452
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,314
Henry? l thought that was settled.

453
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,750
Oh, loose ends, Mr Rhodes.

454
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,475
ln your business, it's high prices.
ln mine, it's always loose ends.

455
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,512
No, l was wondering
if you could go over that day again.

456
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,191
- Maybe there's something you overIooked.
- l don't think so, but if you wish.

457
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,552
l...l was here when Henry phoned.

458
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,638
He asked me over at six. l went there.

459
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,990
Well, you know the rest, Sergeant.

460
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,634
You didn't see anyone else
at or near the house?

461
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,194
No, no-one.

462
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,878
No.

463
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,911
Well, thank you, Mr Rhodes.

464
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,474
- l'll let you get on.
- Thank you, Sergeant.

465
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,470
You said Mr Fallon phoned you.

466
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,511
What time was that, sir?

467
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,312
Around three.

468
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,237
Thank you.

469
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,030
SUSAN: ls something troubling you?

470
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,071
MORSE: No, no. Nothing.

471
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,748
SUSAN: What did you want to talk to me about?

472
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,111
Nothing. Just an excuse to get you out.

473
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:16,151
Good.

474
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,833
Tell me... Did you see Dr Marriat?

475
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,235
- Mm.
- What did he say?

476
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,035
He er...he just wanted to talk about Henry.

477
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,511
To tell us about his illness.

478
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,235
l think he was upset
at having missed the inquest.

479
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,635
He's a very serious young man.

480
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,035
Very committed.

481
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,071
Have you known him long?

482
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,191
He was Henrietta's GP.

483
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,593
They were great friends. He delivered Paul.

484
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:53,759
When we came back to Oxford,
it seemed natural for him to look after Henry.

485
00:36:54,840 --> 00:37:00,233
Losing Henrietta and Paul
must have been a terrible blow.

486
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,272
For Peter Rhodes, too.

487
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,029
His life was in ruins when we got back.
He was an alcoholic.

488
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,676
Henry paid for him to stay in a private clinic,
and helped him start his business.

489
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,711
Saved his life, really.

490
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,317
Was Henry a partner in the business?

491
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,273
l'm not sure what arrangement they had.

492
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,995
l preferred to stay out of money matters
and leave them to Henry.

493
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,391
Why should that interest you?

494
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:34,756
Curiosity becomes something of a habit
with policemen.

495
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,440
Rogers.

496
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,553
Rogers...Rogers...Rogers.

497
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,793
Nurse Rogers: ''Started as a normal day.

498
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,038
The phone wasn't working. Went to a call box
and reported it.'' ls that the one?

499
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,071
That's it.

500
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,198
Won't you get into hot water for this?

501
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,834
You're supposed to be working.

502
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,953
l'm a detective. Detectives think, mainly.

503
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,392
Today l choose to do my thinking lying down.

504
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,511
(Laughs)

505
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,391
Susan.

506
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,193
ls it so terrible to laugh? What are you afraid of?

507
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,710
- lt's nothing. Please...
- Look, l'm not a fool.

508
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,910
l know what Henry meant to you.

509
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,555
Haven't l hurt you enough?
Can't you see what might happen?

510
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,672
Nothing can happen unless we both want it to.

511
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,434
You intend to leave. You told me that.

512
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,916
l know how l'll feel when you go.

513
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,674
lf that's the price l've got to pay
for seeing you now, then so be it.

514
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,195
l have no right to expect that of you.

515
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,118
And l have the right to make that choice.

516
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,518
What are you doing?

517
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,552
l'm letting some air in, Lewis. Some fresh air.

518
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,791
lt's a lovely day, don't you think?

519
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,638
Getting lovelier by the minute.

520
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:41,711
He's been lying, sir. Rhodes.

521
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,549
Mrs Fallon told you her husband called
just after five to test the line?

522
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,033
Yes.

523
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,596
And the nurse says
the phone was out of order in the morning.

524
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:54,156
Rhodes is claiming
Fallon called him at three to ask him over.

525
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,592
But how could he, sir? We know Fallon
couldn't have left the house to make a call,

526
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:02,110
and if there was no call,
what was Rhodes doing there?

527
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,354
lt's very beautiful, Peter.

528
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,950
When l saw it,
l thought it might cheer you up a little.

529
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,072
lt has done. Thank you.

530
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,111
l'll put it here, shall l?

531
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,151
How have you been managing?

532
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,909
Oh, all right.

533
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,828
Susan, you know, if there's anything l can do,
anything you need...

534
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,190
Can l get you something? Tea? Coffee?

535
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,995
No, really.
l only came to make sure you were all right.

536
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,111
l'll have a drink, if you don't mind.

537
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,591
The police called round to see me.

538
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:47,597
What did they want?

539
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:51,508
They seemed to think there were
some things to be cleared up about Henry.

540
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,837
It was aII very...cryptic.

541
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,797
They've not spoken to you, then?

542
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,590
No. You seem worried by it.

543
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:05,996
No, not worried. l just found it odd.

544
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,590
Oh, l'm sure it's nothing. Some oversight.

545
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,511
Yes, that's probably it.

546
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,751
WlLLlAM: Not bad.

547
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,111
SUSAN: You win...again.

548
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:36,949
Of course l did.
Croquet's a game of the bonce, Susie.

549
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,634
CerebraI, if you wiII.

550
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,354
Today you seem to be lacking in concentration.

551
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,751
Ah, lemonade.

552
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,356
Pips! There are pips in the lemonade, man.

553
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,597
That's because there are pips in the lemons,
Master William.

554
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,631
Well, can't you take them out?

555
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,639
That fluid has been strained and strained again,
sir.

556
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:14,118
Short of picking out them pips with
my bare hands, l don't see what else l can do.

557
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:16,151
Now, will that be all?

558
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,191
Yes, that'll be all.

559
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,678
Why must the Scots be so surly all the time?

560
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,360
You could always let him go if you're not happy.

561
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,596
- Oh, don't be silly.
- Well, then.

562
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:29,631
Now, you'll both have to excuse me,

563
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,955
- while l see to the lunch.
- Of course.

564
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,031
So, Morse. A policeman, eh?

565
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,231
You surprise me, l must say.

566
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:41,873
How so?

567
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,437
A writer.
Always had you pegged as a future literary gent.

568
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,471
Calm on the outside,

569
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:53,355
but, inside, fairly heaving with all manner
of passions waiting to be expressed.

570
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,314
Still, this gendarmerie business
must be damned exciting.

571
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,431
What about a yarn or two before we go in?

572
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,111
l was rather hoping that you could give me
some information, William.

573
00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:07,152
- Really? What about?
- Peter Rhodes.

574
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,272
l want to know
about his business arrangements with Henry.

575
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,311
Oh, steady on, Morse.

576
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,558
lt's a bit off to mull over a chap's pocketbook
before the ashes are cold.

577
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,753
Things may not have been
as straightforward as they seemed.

578
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,350
lt's possible that Henry did not take his own life.

579
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,871
But you can't be serious.

580
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,151
- Can you?
- l have to consider all the possibilities.

581
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,478
Well, er...Henry made him a loan.

582
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,471
£30,000, to be paid in two parts.

583
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,431
Were both payments made?

584
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,632
No. No, they weren't.

585
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,911
Henry was having second thoughts,
as a matter of fact.

586
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,474
He wasn't convinced he'd recover his money.

587
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,273
He was planning to cancel the second payment.

588
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,311
Had he told Rhodes?

589
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,640
Yes. He'd also informed his bank.
He'd told them he'd confirm

590
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,275
- when he'd spoken to Rhodes.
- When did he tell Rhodes?

591
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,595
Er...the night before he died.

592
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,151
Henry felt badly about it, of course,
but he could be ruthless when he had to be.

593
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,033
Have you told her about this?

594
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,990
l thought she should be protected from it
for as long as possible.

595
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,231
Yes, of course.

596
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,391
You're a good man, Morse.

597
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,195
l had hoped you'd come here
for quite different reasons.

598
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,638
Susie's still a young woman.

599
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,036
The spark's gone from her, l know, but...

600
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,551
l thought,
if anyone could bring her back to us...you could.

601
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,191
Yon Morse.

602
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,031
l've seen worse.

603
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,790
Yes.

604
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,639
LEWlS: Mr Rhodes.

605
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,752
Sergeant Lewis.
l was beginning to think you'd forgotten me.

606
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,396
Oh, no, sir. This way, please.
We'd like to see you in the lnterview Room.

607
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,999
This is all very portentous, Chief lnspector.
What's it about?

608
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:50,792
lt's about Henry Fallon, Mr Rhodes.

609
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,516
He helped you set up your business, l believe.
He made you a loan.

610
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,835
Yes. l don't see that...

611
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,428
How important was the loan, Mr Rhodes?

612
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,199
lt was very important. l...

613
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,790
Well, l needed the money to tide me over,
you see.

614
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,515
l had a cottage that l sold near Banbury,
but that wasn't enough.

615
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,279
l needed Henry's support till l could break even.

616
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,392
You met with Henry FaIIon
on the night before he died, sir?

617
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,033
Yes.

618
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,230
What was the meeting about?

619
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,271
About business.

620
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,118
- About the loan?
- Yes.

621
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,315
Look...

622
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,352
What about the loan, Mr Rhodes?

623
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,233
What?

624
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,670
Well, it was to be made in two payments.

625
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,633
Henry said he was very happy with the business.

626
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,910
There'd be no problems
with the second payment.

627
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,679
He was going to speak to his bank
the following Monday.

628
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,638
He said that?

629
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,832
Are you sure, Mr Rhodes?

630
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,871
Of course l'm sure.

631
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,912
Mr Fallon told William Bryce-Morgan
that he was going to cancel the second payment.

632
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,679
He told him he'd informed you of his intentions.

633
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,633
- But that's nonsense.
- Are you saying William is lying?

634
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,150
No. No, l'm saying he's mistaken.

635
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,874
Mr Fallon's bank - are they mistaken, too, sir?

636
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,479
What?

637
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,593
Mr Fallon informed his bank
that he was going to cancel the second payment.

638
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:19,757
- No!
- Why were you at the Fallon house?

639
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,110
l told you. Henry called me.

640
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:24,310
- At three o'clock?
- Yes.

641
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,351
Where did he call you from?

642
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,553
From home, of course. He was housebound.

643
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,468
Mr Fallon's telephone
was out of order for most of that day.

644
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,990
CertainIy at the time you say he caIIed you.

645
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,838
Can you explain that?

646
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,076
Well, it...

647
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,873
lt can't be. He phoned me.

648
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,399
Yes?

649
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,636
This is madness! Madness!

650
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,150
My father-in-law killed himself.
Everybody knows that.

651
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,078
Everybody thought that.

652
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,111
But now it seems he couldn't have.

653
00:47:57,240 --> 00:48:00,869
I think it was murder, Mr Rhodes.

654
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,788
A murder
that you aIone had the opportunity to commit.

655
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,388
The opportunity and the motive.

656
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,951
l want to get out of here.

657
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:16,949
You can't keep me here. Let me out, please!
Please! You don't understand.

658
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,991
- This is all wrong!
(Buzzing)

659
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,317
Mr Rhodes, this interview is being recorded.

660
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,035
My name is Detective Chief lnspector Morse.

661
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,311
Also present in the room
are Detective Sergeant Lewis

662
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,954
and Police Constable Matthews.

663
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,117
You do not have to say anything
unless you wish to do so.

664
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:44,471
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

665
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,431
Great.

666
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,913
Mm. Thanks.

667
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,235
l'll be finished in a while.

668
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,476
l'm very grateful to you for coming, Susan.

669
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,034
l'm not sure what good l can do, Peter.

670
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,315
You can tell them...that it's not true.

671
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:02,634
Peter...

672
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,832
You must know that l couldn't harm Henry.
You must.

673
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,871
l owed everything to him.

674
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,355
My health, the business...

675
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,391
The police know that, Peter.

676
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,078
Then why should l kill him?

677
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,714
l don't know.

678
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,751
They say you lied

679
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,395
- about the phone call and about the loan.
- But it's the truth, Susan.

680
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,559
Peter, l tried to call home myself,
and l couldn't get through.

681
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,791
You have to help me.

682
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,876
You have to get me out of here.

683
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,276
They'll believe you.
You're his wife. They'll listen to you.

684
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:37,719
Please...

685
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,991
- There's nothing l can do.
- Surely you believe me?

686
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,476
- Please.
- The interview is over, Mr Rhodes.

687
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,909
- Susan?
- I'm sorry.

688
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,474
Susan, l'm innocent. For God's sake!

689
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,593
He shot himself. The man was a bloody cripple!
Why should he want to live?

690
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,471
- Susan!
- Take it easy, sir.

691
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,631
This isn't happening.
l'm an innocent man. l didn't kill him.

692
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,911
Why should l kill him? He helped me.

693
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,951
l'm innocent. Do you understand?

694
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,591
Do you understand?

695
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,799
l'd better get started. Have you got
those house calls sorted out, Helen?

696
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,351
Not too bad.

697
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,473
We're not to mention it? ls that it?
Pretend it isn't happening?

698
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,672
l gave the police the facts.
l didn't know where it would lead.

699
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,872
But you won't be too unhappy
if the facts put Peter in jail?

700
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,037
No, not if he's guilty,
and the police think that he is.

701
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,840
Look.

702
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,871
Look, when l come back...

703
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,510
..why don't we go out for the evening, eh?

704
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,351
Out?

705
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:01,315
With this going on,
l'm in no mood for celebration, l assure you.

706
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,071
OK. OK.

707
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,115
You'd be quite wrong to gloat, you know.

708
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,071
l don't know what you mean, Helen.

709
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,636
Why do you suppose
l've remained here all this time?

710
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,559
To shuffIe medicaI fiIes?

711
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,350
lt was to be near him.

712
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,995
And if they take him away,
they take away my reason for staying.

713
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,031
Do you understand that?

714
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,031
(Car door closes)

715
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,108
Mrs Marriat? Sorry if l kept you waiting.

716
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:16,151
No. Thank you for coming.

717
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,791
We could have met in my office.

718
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,474
- l'm sorry.
- That's aII right.

719
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,637
l'm used to people staring. A childhood accident.

720
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,558
''Remember, remember, the 5th of November.''

721
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,992
As to our venue, this is Iess...pubIic.

722
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,588
Anyway, l like it here.

723
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:48,917
l visit the church
while my husband ministers to the sick.

724
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,111
You...asked to see me, Mrs Marriat?

725
00:53:57,240 --> 00:53:59,913
Yes. lt's about Peter Rhodes.

726
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,519
l...

727
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,074
l just can't believe he killed Henry Fallon.

728
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:06,918
No?

729
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:10,631
You know Mr Rhodes well?

730
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,718
His wife was John's patient.

731
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,751
We all became friends.

732
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,678
And, because you're friends,
you think he's innocent?

733
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,199
ls that it?

734
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:23,599
Yes.

735
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,591
lf you know someone, you can tell if...

736
00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:28,631
l'm afraid you can't.

737
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,671
But he couldn't do it, l tell you.

738
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,830
lf you want to help Peter Rhodes,
l'm going to need something more substantial

739
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,758
than a character reference.

740
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,633
ls there something more?

741
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:50,631
Mrs Marriat?

742
00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:54,438
No.

743
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,315
No, there's nothing, Chief lnspector.

744
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,474
And that was it? She didn't say anything else?

745
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,354
- l don't think there was anything else.
- Can you be sure there isn't?

746
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,552
She would have said, wouldn't she?
Or Rhodes would have.

747
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,591
Well, then, why come forward?

748
00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:15,631
She wanted to get him off, Lewis.

749
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:20,311
lf someone you loved had been charged
with murder, would you want to believe it?

750
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,318
Thanks.

751
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,071
But Rhodes, sir.

752
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,670
You'd need to have seen him
in the lnterview Room. lf that was an act...

753
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,712
How can you make a judgment like that?
You don't know him.

754
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,434
Neither do you,
but you have him in bed with Mrs Marriat.

755
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,073
But l have evidence.

756
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,397
l saw them at the inquest,
and today she asked me to let him go.

757
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:50,078
Well, forgive me, sir, but isn't that evidence
what you'd call circumstantial?

758
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,636
What about Mrs Fallon?
What does she think of him?

759
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,070
l don't think she liked him much.
They seldom met.

760
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,510
Well, there must be someone we can talk to
that knows him.

761
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,471
(Engine whirring)

762
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:10,753
Ah, Morse!

763
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,156
What do you think of her? lmpressive, eh?

764
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:15,998
What can l say?

765
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,476
You could tell the truth,
and say he looks a damn fool.

766
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,909
Ten miles at the canter,

767
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,634
and l haven't left the room. Care to try her?

768
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,671
l don't think so.

769
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,429
Oh. Duty call, is it?

770
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,358
l always thought Rhodes was a bit of a bad hat.

771
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,429
Could never understand what a girl
would see in him. Henrietta, especially.

772
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,120
She lived here while she was at Oxford,
by the way.

773
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:44,549
l grew very fond of her.

774
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,399
When did she meet Rhodes?

775
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,988
Difficult to be precise.

776
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,793
But she stayed on in Oxford after graduation,

777
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,595
- and married him soon after that.
- Do you know if he was faithful to her?

778
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,230
You've been busy, Morse.

779
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:04,353
No. The fellow had great difficulty
keeping his pants on, quite frankly.

780
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,155
Almost from the off,
there were stories about his philandering.

781
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,317
One affair looked set to wreck the marriage.

782
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,829
Do you know who the woman was, sir?

783
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,473
No idea.

784
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,194
As it happened,
Henrietta and the child were killed

785
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,231
before things came to a head.

786
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,271
Now, there's a mystery for you, Morse.

787
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,437
3am on the road from Banbury.
Nobody knew why.

788
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,835
LEWlS: WeII, they had a cottage in Banbury.

789
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,555
WlLLlAM: But at that time, Sergeant?
And with the chiId?

790
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,831
- Well, what did Rhodes think?
- He didn't know what to think.

791
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:40,591
He was at home in Oxford. He'd had a skinful.
Woke up to find himself a widower.

792
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,837
I have to admit, it affected him rather badIy.

793
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,032
Took to the sauce in a major way.

794
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,230
- Is that aII, Morse?
- Yes. Thank you.

795
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,316
Then, if you'll excuse me, l must go.

796
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,596
Meeting Susie at the solicitor's.

797
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,233
Goodbye.

798
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,672
Why didn't Rhodes know
what his wife and child were doing out, Lewis?

799
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,109
Maybe they'd had a row or something.

800
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,754
Do you think Mrs Marriat was the woman, sir?

801
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,598
Do you?

802
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,631
Good chance, l suppose.

803
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,558
But adultery's a long way from murder, surely?

804
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,638
We've shown motive and opportunity, Lewis.

805
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,752
- And we've no other suspect.
- We haven't looked for one.

806
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,279
With good reason.

807
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,391
The timescale doesn't allow for one.

808
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,670
What if someone else got into the house?

809
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:26,869
How?

810
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,878
Well, the nurse used a short cut
at the back of the house.

811
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,958
lf she used one, someone else could have.

812
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,033
Well, it's all very straightforward, Mrs Fallon.

813
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,276
There are two beneficiaries.

814
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:48,157
Your husband's estate amounted to £1 75,000.

815
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,990
Gross, that is. Of which
your brother William is to receive £50,000.

816
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:59,314
The remainder
is to go to an organisation known as...

817
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:00,873
Dignity.

818
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,993
"..so that it might continue to campaign
for the individuaI's right...

819
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,396
to a dignified death.''

820
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,988
But that can't be!

821
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,874
lt's outrageous!
He wouldn't have left her penniless.

822
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,275
There's no mistake, Mr Bryce-Morgan.

823
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,551
Well, then, you shall have the 50,000, Susie.

824
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,671
She shall have that. Where do l sign?

825
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,394
Please, William. lf it's what Henry wanted...

826
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,751
Thank you.

827
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,639
Susie!

828
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,796
lt's just not on, is it, Lewis?

829
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,908
The distance is too great.

830
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:43,158
Someone going to the house this way
would have passed the nurse leaving.

831
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,196
And if we assume he managed that,

832
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,154
the chances are that Rhodes
would have seen him making his way back.

833
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,840
No. No, he wouldn't.

834
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,679
The curtains were drawn.
l had to open them myself.

835
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,836
You did what?!

836
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,509
- At the scene of a crime?
- No, hang on a minute, will you, sir?

837
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,229
The curtains were open when the nurse left.

838
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:09,319
They had to be.
She said she waved to Fallon at the window.

839
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,477
Why would Rhodes have closed them?

840
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,513
He didn't try to get away, and even if he had,
nobody could have seen him.

841
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,148
What if someone else was in the house?

842
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,919
They've killed Fallon
and they see Rhodes arrive.

843
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:27,431
There's only this way out, and they'd
have had to close the curtains or be seen.

844
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:33,193
We'd like you to take us through it again,
Mr Rhodes.

845
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:37,108
l told you. He called me at three.
He asked me to go over at six.

846
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,754
l went. l found him dead.

847
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,589
What were your first impressions
on entering the room?

848
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,757
l didn't have any.
l wasn't expecting to find what l did.

849
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,791
Think, Mr Rhodes.

850
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,749
lt was...dark. l don't know.

851
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,757
lt was six o'clock.

852
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,229
The curtains were closed, l think.

853
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,237
l'm not sure.

854
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,868
l think he's telling the truth.
l don't think he closed the curtain.

855
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,949
What about the phone call, Lewis?
We know that's a lie, yet he persists with it.

856
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,436
What if the call was made?
Maybe the nurse was wrong

857
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,597
- about when the phone went off.
- So, the nurse is lying, too?

858
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:24,594
Why don't l phone the exchange?
See what sort of repair records they keep?

859
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,631
l could visit them in the morning.

860
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,671
Why not?

861
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,389
Tomorrow morning, Mr Rhodes,

862
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,149
my sergeant is going to be checking
with the telephone exchange.

863
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,953
Maybe you made a mistake about the call.

864
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,550
Henry called me at three o'clock.

865
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,591
What did he call you about?

866
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,472
Oh, yes. Er...business, wasn't it?

867
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,958
That's right.

868
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,271
But l thought you'd concluded your business
the night before,

869
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,437
when Henry agreed
to pay the second half of the loan.

870
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,471
lsn't that right?

871
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:09,959
Yes.

872
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,878
So, what was there still to discuss?

873
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,198
Had he changed his mind? Or was there
something else he wanted to talk about?

874
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:24,477
Why should l kill him?
l was a bloody drunk, and he took care of me!

875
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,433
l'd lost everything - my wife and child.

876
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,351
Something else you couldn't understand,
l gather.

877
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,239
What?

878
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,113
Why they were out at that time of night.

879
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,555
l didn't know then, and l don't know now.

880
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,350
lt was just another road accident.

881
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,757
l want you to get me a road accident report.

882
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,953
June 1 989. Two fatalities.
Henrietta and Paul Rhodes.

883
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,469
l'll get onto Archives.

884
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,478
- lt'll be on your desk first thing, sir.
- Thank you.

885
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,474
- Dr Marriat.
- Mr Stone.

886
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,592
l hear your organisation's
just come into a bundle.

887
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,631
Not my organisation, Mr Stone.

888
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,911
We're just a group of individuals
who share a common belief.

889
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,395
But you'll use this dosh to spread your ideas.

890
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,875
Couldn't you use it to help the sick? Save a life?

891
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,673
- When l can, yeah.
- When you can? l like it.

892
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,759
Can l quote you on that? lf l made something up,
l couldn't match your subtlety.

893
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,359
Then you must quote me.

894
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,158
End of interview.

895
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:51,998
Here it is.

896
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,317
FauIt reported... 10am.

897
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,351
Repaired at 5pm.

898
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,632
- Time to repair: five minutes.
- And it was out all day?

899
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,832
- WeII, it needn't have been.
- What do you mean?

900
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,077
Well, the time of repair
was at the customer's request.

901
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,750
Who did you say made the call? A nurse?

902
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,189
That's right. Mr Fallon was in a wheelchair.

903
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,996
Well, she must have been a pretty dumb nurse.
Disabled get priority.

904
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,237
We could have had someone round there
right away.

905
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:30,233
There was a reporter at the surgery this morning.
He was asking questions about the will.

906
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,476
lt was bound to arouse some curiosity.

907
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,516
l suppose so.

908
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,790
Now that everything's been taken care of,

909
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,230
there's no need for me to stay here any longer.

910
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,510
l haven't managed to get to the flat.

911
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,518
l was wondering
if you could see to things for me.

912
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:57,833
Susan...

913
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,155
l shall leave tomorrow, l think.

914
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,037
(Phone rings)

915
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:42,109
Morse.

916
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,271
lt's...er...Susan.

917
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,229
l wondered if l could see you tonight.

918
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,715
Er...of course.

919
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,798
What would you like to do? Dinner?

920
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,832
l thought...we could meet at your place.

921
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,831
lf you'd like.

922
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,871
Yes, l know where that is.

923
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,191
l'll see you this evening.

924
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,789
Goodbye.

925
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,590
Well, it was Mr Fallon's request, Sergeant.
Not mine.

926
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,995
l was for having it repaired at once.

927
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,715
l mean, there was Mrs Fallon in London
to be considered.

928
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,991
She used to call two and three times a day
when she was away,

929
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,509
to make sure everything was all right.

930
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,598
l said l could call her
when l went out for the shopping.

931
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:40,191
But he said no.
She'd be working, and wasn't to be disturbed.

932
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,869
All l could think was:
they'd had a row, or something.

933
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,959
- A row?
- Oh, l'm not saying they had, Sergeant, no.

934
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,355
l just thought it odd.

935
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,278
But, as it turned out, l was worrying for nothing.

936
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,995
- How come?
- lt was improper of me, l know.

937
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,192
But...l did call her, as a matter of fact.

938
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,231
She wasn't even at home.

939
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,920
lt was her answering machine that came on.

940
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,157
You get so embarrassed talking to those things,
don't you?

941
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:11,551
Yes, yes, you do.

942
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,033
Well, thank you.

943
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,031
Are you sure you won't have some tea?

944
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,436
No. No, thanks. l'm just on my way home.

945
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,471
Thanks for your help.

946
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,391
? SCHUBERT: Quintet in C

947
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,151
(Doorbell)

948
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,109
Oh...Lewis. Come in.

949
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,151
Thank you, sir.

950
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:02,393
The telephone repair people have confirmed
that the phone was off all day, sir,

951
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,795
and Fallon requested the engineer come at five.

952
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,191
Then why the hell
does Rhodes go on with his claim?

953
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,075
There's...something else, sir.

954
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:15,918
What's that?

955
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,474
(Music playing)
- Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

956
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,989
lf l'd known you had company,
l could have waited.

957
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,112
Oh, that's all right, Lewis.
Mrs Fallon's coming over.

958
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,231
You said there was something eIse.

959
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,434
Er...no, l'm afraid it's gone for the moment, sir.

960
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,036
Have a drink, till it comes back.

961
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,879
No, no. l think l'd better be getting home, sir.

962
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,514
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. l'll see you in the morning.

963
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,551
All right.

964
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:46,951
(Music continues)

965
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:18,758
l like the flat.

966
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,791
Thank you.

967
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,839
l've heard it said that every house is a
precise commentary on its owner. ls that true?

968
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:34,358
Well, it's an interesting theory, l suppose.
l've never thought about it.

969
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,994
l can't imagine
what this place has to say about me.

970
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:43,471
Oh, a sturdy self-sufficiency.
A certain contentment.

971
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,990
Well, then,
l'd have to say the theory is somewhat suspect.

972
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,191
You're probably right.

973
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,517
Well, no...there might be something in it.

974
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,628
Anyway, l'm glad you like it.

975
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,991
l'm not sure
you'll be able to say the same about the food.

976
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,316
l still think we should have gone out.

977
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:10,675
lt's not too late. l can call...

978
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:12,756
No, l wanted us to meet here.

979
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,589
My house...well,
it's not appropriate at all, you see.

980
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,711
lt's...too full of other memories.

981
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:24,350
l must sound awful, saying these things, l know,

982
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:29,349
but...it's been so long,
and l'm so horribly out of touch.

983
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,872
l feel like some silly schoolgirl.

984
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,118
l've asked you here

985
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,708
because l want some straight answers.

986
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,435
Are you absolutely sure
Henry Fallon was murdered, Morse?

987
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,275
Morse!

988
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:02,913
l'm sorry.

989
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,429
(Sighs) Have you read this?

990
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,630
l have not, as a matter of fact.

991
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,957
- I was Iate Ieaving home.
- lt's about Fallon's will.

992
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:14,390
There are two beneficiaries:
his brother-in-Iaw,

993
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,876
- and Marriat's euthanasia group.
- Nothing for Mrs Fallon, sir?

994
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,436
ls that relevant to this investigation, Sergeant?

995
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,994
Well, l'm sorry, matey, but l think it is.

996
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,796
We have a man who seems
to have been obsessed with taking his own life,

997
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,673
and a coroner's inquest
returning a verdict of suicide,

998
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,917
and we are buiIding a case for a murder charge.

999
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,430
On the evidence of a man
who scores £1 25,000 in the will.

1000
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,950
Not him. His organisation.

1001
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:46,551
Well, do we know that? l mean, what exactly
is the man's connection with it?

1002
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:48,398
We know he's a spokesman for it, sir.

1003
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,557
According to the IocaI papers,
it's aII above board.

1004
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,877
(Sighs) Well, l just want to be sure, Morse.

1005
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,594
We're going to triaI on this. Remember that.

1006
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,231
What the hell is wrong with the man?

1007
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,271
He said, sir. He just wants to be sure.

1008
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,676
Well, that's what we all want, isn't it...matey?

1009
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,197
- Lewis.
- Sir?

1010
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,869
What's the name of your journalist friend
on the local paper?

1011
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,195
Stone, sir. His card's on my desk.

1012
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,517
You think Rhodes is innocent?

1013
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,074
l think there's a good chance, sir.

1014
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:03,432
And that, what, Mrs Fallon killed her husband?

1015
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,915
No, she couldn't have.
He called her about five.

1016
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,951
She couldn't have made it from London

1017
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:09,991
in time to kiII him.

1018
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:11,792
Why this request, then?

1019
01:13:13,440 --> 01:13:18,036
They were supposed to be such a devoted
couple, sir, but that doesn't stand up, does it?

1020
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,709
He cut her out of his wiII. On the day he died,

1021
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:25,469
he refused to have the phone repaired early
when she'd be trying to call.

1022
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,476
Well, l'm bound to say
they're hardly the actions of a loving husband.

1023
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:35,276
Well, maybe he had good reason, sir.
Why did she lie about being at the London flat

1024
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:38,358
for the whoIe day?
When the nurse caIIed, she was out.

1025
01:13:38,480 --> 01:13:42,837
And what's the most common reason for
married people lying about their whereabouts?

1026
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,155
What, you think she may have a fancy man?

1027
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:49,432
Why not? She hasn't been slow
to get reacquainted with Chief lnspector Morse.

1028
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,154
Er...no. No...quite.

1029
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,840
The doctors gave FaIIon another year.

1030
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,793
lf she was seeing someone,
maybe he got impatient.

1031
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,799
He probably visited the flat at some time.
There could be a photograph there,

1032
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,832
- or Ietters, maybe a name and address.
- What about Morse?

1033
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,269
He's never going to see it, sir.

1034
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,915
He's too close. You heard what he said
when l asked about the will.

1035
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:12,951
He'll have to know eventually.

1036
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:14,877
Only if l'm right, sir.

1037
01:14:16,480 --> 01:14:19,392
You're due for a day's leave,
aren't you, Sergeant?

1038
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:26,391
Get me London, would you, please?

1039
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:28,750
l've already told your sergeant what l know.

1040
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:33,590
l need to establish Marriat's
exact relationship with the euthanasia group.

1041
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,439
He's a spokesman.

1042
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,394
- Does he benefit personally from the bequest?
- WeII, put it this way.

1043
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:45,036
l wouldn't go checking the flights to Marbella.
We're dealing with a man of principle.

1044
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,594
But let me know if there's anything l missed.

1045
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,479
Peter Rhodes is going to prison, Mrs Marriat.

1046
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,760
l've told you, Chief lnspector.

1047
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:58,791
He's innocent.

1048
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,639
You must think us very stupid, Mrs Marriat.

1049
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,671
What do you mean?

1050
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,635
You love Peter Rhodes, don't you?

1051
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,592
Yes.

1052
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:21,794
And you expect us to believe you have it in
your power to clear him, but you choose not to.

1053
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,913
What kind of a woman would that make you,
Mrs Marriat?

1054
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:27,951
A selfish one, Chief lnspector.

1055
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,560
Do you think l don't know that?

1056
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:37,310
But apparently, self-knowledge
isn't the first step to becoming a better person.

1057
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,559
Because, while l want to help Peter,
and God knows l do...

1058
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,590
..l haven't quite got the guts.

1059
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,280
For what?

1060
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,311
What are you afraid of?

1061
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,751
Shame.

1062
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,791
Just that.

1063
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:00,911
Shame?

1064
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,715
No, no. No, that won't do,
Mrs Marriat, not from you.

1065
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,474
You can believe what you like, Chief lnspector.

1066
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,114
- l believe Peter Rhodes is guilty.
- No.

1067
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,834
- l don't think you know anything.
- You're wrong.

1068
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:20,239
We've got the right man. He just happens
to be someone you care for. lsn't that it?

1069
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:24,069
But, true to character,
you're prepared to set your need for him

1070
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,873
above the demands of justice.

1071
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:31,596
That's what this is all about, isn't it?
He's as guilty as hell, and you don't give a damn.

1072
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,631
No!

1073
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,115
Goodbye, Mrs Marriat.

1074
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,149
MRS MARRlAT: He's innocent!

1075
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,234
Shame, Mrs Marriat? You?

1076
01:17:46,440 --> 01:17:48,351
I know about you.

1077
01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:53,190
You betrayed your husband
because you couIdn't have first caII on his time.

1078
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:54,639
Yes.

1079
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:58,196
The action of a greedy, grasping woman.

1080
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,073
- WouIdn't you agree?
- Yes.

1081
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,236
ls that why you come here, Mrs Marriat?

1082
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,029
For some sort of tawdry absolution?

1083
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,470
- You have no right to ridicule me.
- But absolution for what?

1084
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,114
Adultery? Stealing another woman's husband?

1085
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:19,630
- We loved each other.
- Stealing an innocent child's father?

1086
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,275
- Please! Stop it. Please.
- ls that your great shame, Mrs Marriat?

1087
01:18:24,480 --> 01:18:27,631
Or is it the truth
about the accident that kiIIed them?

1088
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,274
Is that what you're ashamed of, Mrs Marriat?

1089
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,031
What?

1090
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,711
"Remember, remember, the 5th of November."

1091
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:44,631
That was no childhood accident,
was it, Mrs Marriat?

1092
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:10,951
Peter loved me.

1093
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,590
He said he'd leave his wife and child for me.

1094
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:18,631
He kept putting it off.

1095
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,436
One night, we were at his cottage.
We'd both been drinking.

1096
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,869
Peter had had rather a lot. He'd passed out.

1097
01:19:27,480 --> 01:19:29,710
The phone rang and l answered it.

1098
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,798
It was Henrietta.

1099
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:36,630
l was about to hang up, but l didn't.

1100
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,315
I toId her that he was mine.

1101
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,159
That if she didn't believe me,
she should come and see.

1102
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:46,950
She brought the chiId.

1103
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:50,556
She'd been aIone with him, you see.

1104
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:54,671
I Iaughed at her.

1105
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,271
l actually laughed.

1106
01:19:58,400 --> 01:19:59,753
l hate you!

1107
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:01,199
She went berserk.

1108
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:03,356
Started throwing things around.

1109
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:04,959
Get her out of here!

1110
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,275
Peter didn't know what was happening.

1111
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,828
He wouldn't let them go home alone.

1112
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,470
But he was too drunk to drive, so she drove.

1113
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,353
I foIIowed them in my car.

1114
01:20:17,480 --> 01:20:19,232
I didn't want to Iet him go.

1115
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:24,070
All the time, l kept thinking,
''He's mine. Why should she have him?''

1116
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,236
He's mine.

1117
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,237
They were driving too fast.

1118
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,113
He wanted her to stop, to taIk about it.

1119
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:35,436
He tried to force her. The car started to swerve.

1120
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,519
Something happened.

1121
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,551
Everything was so quiet.

1122
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:01,478
Then I saw Peter.

1123
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,192
AII I couId think was that he was aII right.

1124
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,108
Henrietta and the child were still inside the car.

1125
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:14,958
lt started to burn.

1126
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,559
I tried to get them out
but the fIames were too hot.

1127
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:24,397
l started to run back to my car
to get a rug or something.

1128
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,598
There was an explosion.

1129
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,196
No-o-o!

1130
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,231
Peter started screaming.

1131
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,590
They're in the car!

1132
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,631
Over...and over...

1133
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,231
..and over.

1134
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,550
Since that night, he's never spoken to me.

1135
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,154
He couldn't harm the Fallons, Chief lnspector.

1136
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,274
He'd already hurt them more than he could bear.

1137
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:18,153
Who else knew about the accident, Mrs Marriat?

1138
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:21,991
My husband.

1139
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:23,838
How?

1140
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,473
l had to explain these to him.

1142
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:45,276

01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,311
Oh, l was due a day off, sir.

1172

Sir?

Well, as you said, why should Rhodes lie?

Accept that he's innocent
and everything else falls into place.

and then reconnected for the call to Rhodes.

1183
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:01,911
And they put it out of action again
for the engineer arriving at five.

1184
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:03,553
''They'', sir?

1185
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:06,717
Fallon couldn't have done it on his own, Lewis.

1186
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:10,628
But that would mean he was in on his own death.
That's crazy.

1187
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:16,630
ls it? The one thing we've known all along
is that Henry Fallon intended to take his own life.

1188
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:20,070
Framing Rhodes
could have given his death some meaning.

1189
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,350
Not many of us have that opportunity.

1190
01:26:22,480 --> 01:26:24,391
Why, for God's sake?

1191
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:27,152
Revenge.

1192
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:33,359
Peter Rhodes was in that car
the night his wife and child were killed.

1193
01:26:33,480 --> 01:26:35,516
You could say he caused the accident.

1194
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,030
lf you were the woman's father
and the child's grandfather,

1195
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,071
you most certainly would.

1196
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,549
The other person in the house, sir.
Do you know who it was?

1197
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,116
Yes. lt was John Marriat.

1198
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:53,471
He knew about the accident.
lt had to be him that told Fallon.

1199
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,511
He was on holiday.

1200
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,918
Scotland's not the other side of the world, Lewis.

1201
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,190
l don't think it was him.

1202
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:05,949
l can believe he told Fallon about the accident
to spite Rhodes...

1203
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:07,991
Who else is there?

1204
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:16,270
What about...Mrs Fallon, sir?

1205
01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:23,792
She'll have to be told, of course.
l'm going there now.

1206
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:26,798
Do you think that's wise, sir?

1207
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,879
She'll have to know now, Lewis.
Do you suppose l'm happy about that?

1208
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:33,871
No, sir.

1209
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:51,189
HENRY FALLON ON TAPE:
Yes, yes, I'm fine.

1210
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,470
How's the work coming?

1211
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:57,511
Good. I'm gIad.

1212
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:02,279
Yes. Now, Iisten. I'd better Iet you get on with it.

1213
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:05,831
Good Iuck with the Iecture.

1214
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,231
I miss you.

1215
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:10,793
Goodbye.

1216
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,754
Of all the bloody times...

1217
01:28:34,480 --> 01:28:37,119
JOHN MARRlAT: l haven't brought you anything.

1218
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,151
We never thought you would.

1219
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,078
What?

1220
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,236
Henry was a very perceptive man, John.

1221
01:28:49,440 --> 01:28:51,351
You don't have to do this, Susan.

1222
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,275
We've both done what we set out to do.

1223
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,277
lt was all right in Henry's case.
He had nothing to live for.

1224
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,630
But not in yours. Not now.

1225
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:06,469
l've lost my husband, John.
My daughter and grandchild are dead.

1226
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,191
But there's Morse.

1227
01:29:11,440 --> 01:29:13,556
Henry didn't foresee that, did he?

1228
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:15,591
No, neither of us did.

1229
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:18,393
So, everything's changed.

1230
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:21,557
There's something there for you now,
something to hang on to.

1231
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,398
Please, John, stop it!

1232
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:26,876
Susan, you don't have to go through with this.

1233
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,788
There was nothing for you before,
but now you've got a chance of happiness.

1234
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:32,638
For God's sake!

1235
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,309
Why do you think l went along with this?

1236
01:29:36,440 --> 01:29:39,432
Because l thought Helen might love me again.

1237
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:42,950
l thought, with Rhodes out of the way,
she might love me again.

1238
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:48,632
You're lucky.

1239
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:50,671
You've got someone.

1240
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,873
You've got a chance of some happiness.
Don't you realise how lucky you are?

1241
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:56,911
Stop it, stop it, stop it!

1242
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:02,790
Can't you see it's hopeless?
Do you suppose l haven't considered this?

1243
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:05,992
From the moment
I waIked into that poIice station and saw him,

1244
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,031
do you think l haven't tried?

1245
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,711
But it can't work, John.

1246
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:15,678
What I want.

1247
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,594
lt'll be a barrier between us. lt'll destroy us.

1248
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,154
But how will he know? How will he ever know?

1249
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,629
Because l'll have to tell him.

1250
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,718
That l killed my husband.

1251
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,478
lt doesn't matter that he wanted me to,

1252
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:36,319
that he kissed my hand as l helped him die.

1253
01:30:36,440 --> 01:30:39,193
l'll have to tell him why.

1254
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:45,156
So that a miserable little man
could be made to pay for destroying our lives,

1255
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,874
for taking our child and our grandchild from us.

1256
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,480
How can he love me when he knows that?

1257
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:05,994
You're asking me to break my promise to Henry.

1258
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:10,951
l can't do that.

1259
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:15,196
(Rings)

1260
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,231
(Door shuts)

1261
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:21,473
Hello?

1262
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,913
HeIIo?

1263
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:27,951
Who the heII is this?

1264
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,349
Look, sir. lf you'd like me to tell her...

1265
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:26,438
What is it?

1266
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:28,198
What's happened?

1267
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:30,880
There's something wrong with Susan.

1268
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:32,911
l can't wake her up.

1269
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:38,311
Susan?

1270
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:50,077
No. Please, God, no!

1271
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:52,111
Susan...

1272
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:14,873
l want that man picked up, Lewis.
l want it done now.

1273
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:18,151
Sir, you're not thinking...

1274
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:20,714
For God's sake, Lewis! Please...

1275
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,438
WlLLlAM: Morse?

1276
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:56,478
ls Susie dead?

1277
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,118
Morse?

1278
01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:12,398
What the hell's going on?

1279
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,159
You'd better get down to the lnterview Room, sir.

1280
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:23,431
STRANGE: Morse?

1281
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:29,352
Morse!

1282
01:34:30,440 --> 01:34:32,351
Could you apprise me, please?

1283
01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:35,836
Susan Fallon is dead,
and that bastard had something to do with it.

1284
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:39,270
Well, l'd like to sit in on this one, if l may.
Chief lnspector!

1285
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,758
- Why am l here, Morse?
- (Shouts) Sit down, Doctor!

1286
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,590
l believe you were involved with
the deaths of Henry and Susan Fallon.

1287
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:50,915
- Don't be silly.
- Where were you last night?

1288
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:52,758
l was at home, alone.

1289
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,314
- My wife was out.
- Liar! You were at Susan Fallon's.

1290
01:34:55,440 --> 01:34:58,557
I was there. I saw your car.

1291
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:02,912
Susan Fallon was my patient.
l was visiting her in a professional capacity.

1292
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:04,951
She was alive when l left the house.

1293
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,674
You must take my word for that,
or prove the contrary.

1294
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:09,711
Can you prove that, Chief lnspector?

1295
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:12,035
- You...
STRANGE: That'II do, Morse.

1296
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:19,276
Henry Fallon wasn't murdered, was he, Doctor?

1297
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:23,473
He colluded with you in his own death
to frame Peter Rhodes -

1298
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:27,354
the man he held responsible
for the death of his daughter and her child.

1299
01:35:27,480 --> 01:35:29,755
The man who had an affair with your wife.

1300
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:31,791
She loved him, didn't she?

1301
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,150
She still loves him, and you hate him for that.

1302
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,510
Don't you just hate him, Doctor?

1303
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:39,108
Yes. l hate him.

1304
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,390
Enough to want to put him away?

1305
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:45,354
- You told Fallon about the accident.
- l don't know what you're talking about.

1306
01:35:45,480 --> 01:35:47,391
So you fabricate some details

1307
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:51,274
- about Fallon's illness.
- My information was accurate. l'm a doctor.

1308
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,789
- Do you hear?
- l hear, Doctor.

1309
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:59,389
So, how did he die...if he couldn't do it himself?

1310
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,795
Someone must have been there.

1311
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:05,037
To disconnect the phone. To close the curtains.

1312
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:06,718
To pull the trigger.

1313
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:09,479
Then you must find that someone,
Chief lnspector,

1314
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:14,594
and if you wish to accuse me
of conspiring to incriminate Rhodes,

1315
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:16,756
then you must prove it. Can you prove it?

1316
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:22,468
No.

1317
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:24,511
l thought not.

1318
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:30,710
Now, let me join in your hypothesis,
Chief lnspector Morse.

1319
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:36,954
The Fallons' daughter and grandchild
burned to death in that car.

1320
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:43,314
Now, if you were right, l for one
would not blame Henry for taking revenge.

1321
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:50,710
And speaking for myself, purely hypothetically,
if l was asked to participate in such a plan...

1322
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:54,551
..l'd jump at the chance.

1323
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:58,195
What about Susan?

1324
01:36:59,960 --> 01:37:02,918
Well, all l can say, Chief lnspector,
is that, in all my life,

1325
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:04,951
l never met a couple such as they.

1326
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:08,871
It came as no surprise to me

1327
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,230
that she couldn't go on without him.

1328
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,113
You knew that

1329
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,151
and you did nothing to stop her.

1330
01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:17,713
l said...

1331
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:19,910
- You did nothing!
LEWlS: Sir...

1332
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:21,871
You did nothing!

1333
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,434
Nothing!

1334
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,916
You could have stopped her.
You're a bloody doctor!

1335
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:30,110
How couId I have stopped her, Morse?

1336
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:33,391
lf she couldn't live for you,
why would she listen to me?

1337
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:40,554
STRANGE: PIease accept my apoIogies, Doctor.

1338
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,717
MARRlAT: No, no, no. It's perfectIy aII right.

1339
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,479
Nothing happened here.

1340
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:48,511
Get him out of here, Sergeant.

1341
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:50,954
Come on.

1342
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:52,991
STRANGE: Look at yourself.

1343
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:55,031
- Come on, sir.
- Leave me alone.

1344
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:48,631
LEWlS: Morning, sir.

1345
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:57,551
You look terrible, Sergeant.

1346
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,269
l fell asleep in the car outside your place.

1347
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,270
Won't Mrs Lewis be worried about you?

1348
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:07,311
l phoned home.

1349
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:11,512
How did you know l was here?

1350
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:14,511
l'd looked everywhere else.

1351
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:18,632
Do you fancy a walk?

1352
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:21,553
Why not?

1353
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:39,071
LEWlS: I'm reaIIy sorry about Mrs FaIIon.

1354
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,111
Thank you, Lewis.

1355
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:50,991
What have they done with Marriat?

1356
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:54,398
Let him go.

1357
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:56,954
What eIse couId we do?

1358
01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,275
lt had to be him, Lewis.

1359
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:02,791
We can never prove that, sir.

1360
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,639
LEWlS: What was it that was done, anyway?

1361
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,671
Assisting a suicide?

1362
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:11,593
ln the office,

1363
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:15,679
when I said it was him,
you seemed to have some doubts.

1364
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:18,239
Who did you think it was?

1365
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:23,308
Well, l...thought it might have been William, sir.

1366
01:40:23,440 --> 01:40:24,714
William?

1367
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:27,631
Lewis!

1368
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:30,597
Lewis, Lewis!

1369
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,188
You saw him on that...that...thing.

1370
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:36,157
William?

1371
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:37,998
Yes, sir.

1372
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:00,628
Lewis...

1373
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:02,478
LEWlS: Sir?

1374
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:05,876
Do you feel like breakfast?

1375
01:41:07,480 --> 01:41:09,198
Will you be paying?

1376
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:12,471
l don't seem to have any money. l'm sorry.

1377
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:16,274
So, it's down to me, then?

1378
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:18,789
Well, let's just say it's one l owe you.

1379
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:22,913
Yeah. Let's just say that.
