You're listening to the
Nightfly on Radio Carillon.

Broadcasting sounds
that soothe, cheer, and comfort

to the patients and staff
here at Cowley General.

And now with the time
just coming up to 11:00,

this is your friend Hester Fagan

signing off.

That's it.

One pair of men's spectacles.

Tortoise shell.

Seventeen shillings

and nine pence a'hapenny.

There you go then, Mr. Greely.

You just rest up there a bit.

Bit of company for you there,
look.

Morse.
Morning, sir.

I won't be a minute.

Much in?

There's a sudden in Northway.

Uniform just wants us to give it
a quick once over.

Right.

Well, drop me at the station
on your way there.

Off, then!

Win?

Cheer-oh.

Right.

No sandwiches?

No.

No, not today.

After you, then.

Put her away,
I'm going to visit

Mr. Bryce-Morgan
in the hospital.

Whoa...

Will do.
There you go.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning, Sir Merlyn.

Good morning, Sir Merlyn.

Now,
how about that gastrectomy?

Healing nicely, sir.

Dr. Powell,

if you can bear
to tear yourself away?

Morning, Sister.

Morning, Sir Merlyn.

Everything ready?

All ready, sir.

See you in the morning.

Thank you, Sir Merlyn.

Now, then, my good man,
how are you feeling today?

Fine, thank you, Sir Merlyn.

Mr. Talbot was taken
at the fall of Singapore

and set to work
on the Burma Railway.

Once a year he sheds
the lining of his stomach.

Still.

We're "all friends now," eh?

Bed ten...
Where's Mr. Greely?

He died,
sir, in the night.

I saw him yesterday.

He was well on the mend.

He was quite elderly, sir.

He was my age.

Straight-forward pulmonary
Iobectomy, wasn't it?

I want a full post-mortem.

I believe the body's
already been collected

by the undertaker.

How many's that?

It won't do Powell.

Mrs. Ethel Zacharides.

60s.

Dead about three days.

Evil old cow!

Evil old cow!

Rather a limited repertoire,
I'm afraid.

Answers to the name of Jeremiah.

Natural causes?

No obvious signs of violence.

Heart, possibly.

Apoplexy.

Could be any
of the thousand shocks.

But nothing suspicious.

Not at first glance...

From a medical
point of view at least.

The rest I leave to you.

What about this?

Knocked off the dresser.

A seizure, possibly.

Zacharides?

It's a distant toxin...

It'll come to me.

Nothing important probably.

Vale vigile.

That's it.
All secure.

Terence BakeweH, sir.

Being transferred from

Farnleigh Prison to Cowley
General, this morning.

Sir?

This is your, um,

informant?

Yes, sir.

The Peterman on the Robson's
jeweler's job.

If you recall, Mrs. Robson
was very badly injured.

Never walk again, leastways.

Division said something
about a round the clock

armed guard at the hospital.

Yes, sir.

BakeweH's agreed
to turn Queen's evidence

against those members of the
Matthews gang still at large.

You think they'll try
to get to him?

It's the Matthews gang, sir.

What's left of it.

Anything from the neighbors?

Mrs. Zacharides
had lived here 20 years.

Her husband died six months ago.

She has a daughter in town.

But they're not on speaking
terms, apparently.

We'll need someone for that.

What's this?

That sudden
up in Northway.

Local RSPCA officer's
laid up with the flu.

They've asked us to keep an eye.

Well, it can't stop here.

This is a nick, not a bloody pet shop.
Put it at yours.

Anything?

Natural causes according
to Dr. deBryn.

But she had two side plates out

and Mrs. Zacharides lived alone.

Think she
had someone with her?

Or was expecting someone.

Her writing desk had
been disturbed too.

Papers all strewn about.

That don't mean much; you should
see my old Nan's place.

The rest of the place
was tidy enough.

Evil old cow!

Happy marriage she had was it?

Look after it for now, Sergeant.

I need Morse to guard
Bakewell at Cowley General.

Is there something you wanted?

Mister...
Mr. Bakewell, is it?

Hospital Library.

What can I tempt you to?

The Great Escape,
if you've got it.

No, I don't think so.

Who's that then?

Never you mind.

Your temperature's gone up.

Always does when you take it,
staff.

Honestly, Mr. Talbot.

You really think they'd try
for Bakewell in hospital?

Well, he's the last dregs
of the Matthews Gang.

He's all that stands between
them and a long spell inside.

I'll get Mr. Bright
to sign you a chitty.

Meet me in the armory.

Morse!

Can you hear me, sir?

Can you hear me?
All right, sir?

Switchboard.

I need an ambulance at once.
Where?

Mr. Bright's office.
Right.

Yeah, as soon as you can.

There we are, sir.

Don't worry, sir,
you're going to be all right.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Right,
let's get him straight in.

Straight to surgery.

Can you hear me, sir?

Superintendent?

Thank you miss, you got him?
Yeah.

Quick as you can, into prep.
Thank you.

Sorry, sir,
you'll have to wait here.

Swab.

Swab, I said.

Sorry, Sir Melvyn.

I heard.

Well, he's in good hands.

The cutter's Sir Merlyn Chubb.

Chief surgeon.

Want me to see what's what?

Could you?
Course, old fellow.

Try not to worry.

Oh, mystery solved, by the way.

Mrs. Zacharides.

Her husband.

I performed his post-mortem
about six months ago.

He was a patient here?

Don't panic.

He wasn't one of Sir Merlyn's.

What'd they say?

Next 24 hours should tell.

Right, Bakewell.

This is
Detective Constable Morse.

He's one of the officers gonna
be keeping an eye on you,

so don't give him
any trouble, all right?

Talk to Mrs. Zacharides'
daughter yet?

No, not yet.

She rang, works at Beaufort.

I'll hold on here.

Officer.

Officer!

If you ever...

Come here...
Come here...

If you ever want to get him
back in chokey,

I'd stick him in another bed.

How's that?

Bed ten, it's unlucky.

Five weeks I've been here,

and I've seen three 90
in that bed.

Latest went just last night.

That's quite enough,
thank you, Mr. Talbot.

We don't want the other patients

troubled with your nonsense,
do we?

No, Sister.

Very well, then.

Officer.

Sister MacMahon.

Detective Constable Morse.

You're one of the officers
who'll be looking after

Mr. Bakewell, is it?
Mm-hmm.

I can't say I'm pleased
to have him with us.

Police presence on the ward,

indeed.

Anything in it?

Bed ten.

Well there's no great mystery.

We always put our
most poorly patients there.

And should nature
take its course,

we can deal with that
eventuality

without alarming
the rest of the ward.

Caroline?

Morse?

What's the prognosis?

Merlyn's done all he can.

But Edgar's had
a very bad stroke.

I'm sorry.

You're still at, uh, Byers Hall?

What a memory you have.

Hm, well, for some things.

Well, you were there
often enough, I suppose.

Is William still at home?

No.

He's visiting Susan.

And Henry, of course.

Of course.

Henry's at New Carthige now.

Head of the law faculty.

The youngest they've ever had.

Yes, I read something
about that.

He's done very well for himself.

And you, Morse?

What have you accomplished?

Not so much, I don't suppose.

By comparison.

Well, if you need
any assistance.

Then I'd certainly like to help.

Here's my card.

My home number's on the back.

Well, I'm sure that won't be
necessary.

Well, if you can
think of anything.

A policeman?

A detective.

Ms. Zacharides?
I'm Detective Constable Morse,

City Police.

You spoke to a Sergeant Strange,

this morning about your mother.

Yeah.

I got a letter from her
last week.

She'd been in dispute with
the hospital where my dad died.

There were some of his things
that weren't returned to him

that he had with him
when he went in.

Such as?

She got his wedding ring back.

But there was a little bit
of money went missing,

and he had a diamond tie pin
that belonged to his father.

Hospital denied it, of course.

Said she must've been mistaken.

Could she have been?

Any case, she said someone
from the hospital had written

to say they'd be coming by
on Friday to discuss it.

On Friday?

Did she say who was coming
to see her?

No.

And what ward
was your father on?

Fosdick Ward.

Fosdick.

That's right.
Bed ten.

Right.

This is where you
are, sir.

Division have asked me
to cover for Mr. Bright

for the time being.

That's good.

IS it?

What do I know
about flying a desk?

Any word?

Perforated peptic ulcer.

The operation's gone as well
as could be hoped for.

And Bakewell?

They've put him on Fosdick Ward,

same as Mr. Bright.

He's putting a brave face on it

but I'd say he's rattled.

He should be.

Heavy mob wouldn't really try
and knock him off, would they?

Not in the hospital.

I wouldn't put anything
past 'em.

Right.

Chief Super...

Chief Superintendent Bright's
office, D.I. Thursday speaking.

Here then
is a very special request

for a certain someone
on Fosdick Ward.

Mr. Bakewell?
He '5 been as good as gold.

Well if you see
anyone unusual on the ward.

Be sure to let us know.

Will do.

What are they like,
the staff on Fosdick?

Well,
Sister Clodagh's a bit of a tartar...

Sister MacMahon, that is.

You wouldn't wanna get
on the wrong side of her.

Sir Merlyn, a great man.

AM the doctors quake in their
boots when he's on his rounds.

What about the rest of 'em?

Well, then there's Nurse Byron.

Floral.

She '5 very nice.

Always makes you a cup of tea
if you ask.

Nurse Mills.

Jo Beth.

We”, place would fall apart
without her.

She tends to look out
for the younger nurses.

Little student nurse
Daisy Bennett.

She '5 very keen,

but she does tend to get
in the most awful scrapes.

Course, most of them
are potty about Dr. Powell.

Except for Sister Clodagh,
of course.

She's married to the job.

She may have been engaged once,
but...

I suppose everyone's
got their own secret sadness,

haven't they?

Suppose.

What's yours?

Flat feet.

Nurse?

Thank you.

Hi, you're with
Mr. Bright, yes?

Dr. Powell.

How is he?

Well, we're hopeful
for a full recovery of course,

but we will keep him on
Open Order for the time being,

so please don't feel bound
by general visiting hours.

Well, thank you.

Excuse me.

Come on.

Let's go and get a drink.

Who was that
you were talking to

on the ward?

Oh.

I knew her daughter
when I was at Oxford.

Come on.

"I knew her daughter at Oxford,"
and...?

You can't just leave it there.

Maybe when I know you better.

Did she break your heart?

We were engaged to be married.

And then we weren't.

Hm.

There.

So now you know all my secrets.

Come on...

How is he?

Not come to.

Where's his babysitter?

Gone for a brew.

I said I'd cover.

I understand the
operation went well.

We'll look after him.

Great.

I'm D.C. Morse.

Nurse Mills.

Nice to meet you.

No.

No.

Look whatever you may think
of me, I am truly sorry

that he is dead.

Can you explain why
Mrs. Zacharides would receive

a letter from the hospital
signed M. Keenan?

No.

Look, I haven't killed anyone.

They were all
your patients, Dr. Powell.

If anyone's killing patients in
that hospital, it's Sir Merlyn.

Is this his idea, hm?

Blame me for his mistakes?
Is that it?

What mistakes?

You seen his hands?

The last six months
he's developed a tremor.

Drinks, does he?

I'm sure he does.

But that is either
motor neurone disease

or he's medicating himself
for Parkinson's.

Either way, he shouldn't be
within 20 feet of a scalpel.

So, someone claiming to be
from the hospital

makes a bogus appointment
with Mrs. Zacharides,

and does her in.

Presumably to stop her
from digging in

to what happened to her husband.

Her bureau was in a mess,
didn't you say?

Maybe the killer
was looking for the letter

in order to cover their tracks.

Ah, gentlemen.

Sergeant Strange said
you were on the premises.

Do you have a moment?

I believe it will be
to your advantage.

The late Mr. Bakewell.

As you know
from my previous examination

there was nothing to suggest
anything untoward

in the manner of his decease.

However, when I looked again.

Ifound...

Ah, do you see?

A very tiny wound,
on his right buttock.

Yeah, that's not much bigger
than a pin-prick.

Actually, the prick
of a hypodermic needle.

Nothing unusual in that,
perhaps.

Mr. Bakewell died
in a hospital after all.

So, I checked his records.

Mr. Bakewell only received
oral analgesic.

No injections?

So somebody stuck him
with something.

Any idea what?

There's nothing shown up
on his blood toxicology.

However, I'm going
to take a sample

from around this area.

Might shed some light.

What about Mrs. Zacharides?

Been collected
by the undertakers.

I've spoken to them.

Her body's already
been embalmed.

There was another one?

Down in bed ten
earlier this week? Mister...?

Oh, Mr. Greely.

Yes.

Yes, it's the same there,
I'm afraid.

So we've no way
to make a comparison?

Well, there might be.

Good morning, Gentlemen.

Now, which one's this?

Arthur Carpenter.

Died in July.
Unembalmed.

Anything further on your
examination of Bakewell?

Markedly high levels
of insulin in the tissue

surrounding the injection site.

How come that
wasn't found at post-mortem?

Because insulin disappears
from the blood after death.

Now we don't fully understand
the mechanism whereby

hypoglycemia brings on death,

but the latest thinking
is a fall in glucose levels

causes a massive release
of adrenaline,

which triggers
an electrical disturbance

in the heart.

Looks like we're there?

Crikey, he's ripe.

Oh.

Yeah, left buttock.

Minute puncture wound.

Same as Bakewell.

How'd it go?

You wouldn't have enjoyed it.

But he appears to have been
another victim

according to Dr. deBryn.

Anything on Powell?

Well, there's nothing
from Finisham.

But he seems to have left
Long Hampton

under something of a cloud.

There was a death on the
children's ward 15 years ago.

Where's this?
It's in Warwickshire.

An 11-year-old girl.
Molly Keenan.

The letter to Mrs. Zacharides
was signed M. Keenan, wasn't it?

Now the parents tried to bring
the case for negligence

against Dr. Powell,
but he was cleared

on the evidence
of a young nurse,

Clodagh MacMahon.

Sister MacMahon?

Dr. Powell?

Can you tell us
about Molly Keenan?

What?

Molly Keenan,
Dr. Powell.

11-year-old girl

at Long Hampton Hospital,

died in your care.

I was-I was cleared
of any involvement.

Hm, from the testimony
of Sister MacMahon.

Insulin overdose, wasn't it?

Administered by you.

Administered by me, yes.

But the syringe
had been prepared in error

by a student nurse.

Student nurse Ruby Hiscutt.

Who later killed herself
by the same means.

In the six
months since your tenure,

there have been upward of a
dozen deaths on Fosdick Ward,

several of whom we can now prove

died from hypoglycemic shock.

All of them your patients.

So what?
I'm-I'm responsible.

I think we should continue this
down the station.

Dean! Dean!

Where are you taking him?
He didn't do anything!

It's all right Miss.

He's just helping us
with our inquiries.

MacMAHON:
Nurse Bennett!

About your business.

You did this!

You...

Evil old cow.

That's what they think!

That's what everybody calls you
behind your back.

An evil old cow.

Oy, oh!
It's all right, Daisy.

She didn't mean it.

Get her out of here.

Take a look around his office.

See if you can dig
anything else up there.

And try his flat.

I'll see you back at the nick.

Reading material?

Got 'em all here.

Westerns.
Romance.

Crime.

Latest Kent Finn?

Nothing, thank you.

I've got a tumor on Windsor Ward
reading Lady Chatterley,

but I don't expect
he'll get to the end of it.

You want me to pop
your name down?

That really won't be necessary.

Hello.

What's your name?

Charlie,
don't bother the gentleman.

It's quite all right.

Come here.

You got kids?

No.

I've got a daughter.

Barbara.

Twenty-three she is.

I've got a picture of her
in my wallet here.

Don't trouble yourself

on my account.

Really, we're not friends,
Mr. Bakewell.

No need to be like that, copper.

I'm just trying
to pass the time of clay.

We're all in the same boat here.

As may be, but don't presume
to some easy familiarity by.

Don't fool yourself.

You might have a nice house

and sit on
the Bowls Club Committee,

but when it comes down to it,

we're just two cheeks
on the same arse.

Here, Fred.

Who stuck a broom handle
up his jacksy?

Is that how you get
the station swept, is it?

Mind your manners
or you'll get one up yours.

I wasn't sure
if you'd sooner green or black,

so I got one of each.

Fred.

Listen, the Matthews gang...

If anything happens...

Nothing's gonna happen, Terry.

You're on the mend.

Couple of days

you'll be back in Farnleigh,
safe and sound.

If it does, sir...

I'm asking you man to man,

one father to another.

Look out for my Babs,

she don't know nothing.

But they'll come for her
all the same.

I'm begging.

No need to beg.

They won't touch her, I promise.

You came!

Yes, I was passing.

Were you?

No.

Is it as you remember?

More or less.

How's Edgar?

No change.

Why do they say that?

I have no idea.

He's changed utterly.

He's changed beyond
all recognition.

I suppose they mean
in his condition.

I'm aware of what they mean.

It is good of you to come.

We don't see eye to eye.

Why would you be kind?

Because life is too short.

That was all
such a longtime ago.

Laying ghosts?

Yeah, perhaps.

Some places exert an influence
far beyond their due.

People, too.

Yes.

Yes, if you let them.

Now, good as new.

He'll be back to his thieving
ways before you know it.

Would you like me to close?

No.

I'd like the odds
of my patient's survival

to be better than evens.

Why doesn't he just retire?

I'm sure his mind's going.

Or his nerve.

Did you see his hand shake?

Seen that new
little redhead on Maybury?

Legs up to here.

Get it while it's hot, boyo,
or I will.

I'm all right on that score.

How is it you know Sir Merlyn?

He saved Susan's life.

Two years ago.

Her heart, of all things.

And as a mark of gratitude,

Edgar left a major bequest
in his will.

To the hospital?
No.

To Merlyn, personally.

He's about to retire soon,
isn't he?

No, he's not going to retire,

not as far as I know.

Why do you ask?

I'm just trying
to build up a picture.

And have you spoken to Susan?

Of course.

Haven't mentioned you.

No.

Well, I didn't think you would.

Nurse!

Are you all right?

Can you give me something
for the pain?

I'll fetch Dr. Powell.

Right time on the wards today.

Nurse Daisy's in trouble'

with Sister again.

Too much mascara.

Not like you, eh?

Evil old cow!

Morning.

Morning, Sister.

Anything to report?

No, Sister, uneventful night.

Morning, Mr. Bakewell.

Mr. Bakewell?

Sister?

Sister!

Nurse Mills, get the doctor.

Get the screen round.

Mr. Bakewell was found dead
shortly after 7:30 this morning,

when the clay staff
came on shift.

And we're not in the habit
of keeping the deceased

on the ward.

What condition was he in

after the operation?
Recovering well, I believe.

Then how do you explain
his taking a sudden

a turn for the worse?

I'm afraid we'll have to leave
that for the post-mortem.

But I believe Dr. Powell
was on call

and attended to Bakewell
last night.

I was on Nightingale Ward,
Nurse Byron came and asked me

to attend to Mr. Bakewell.

What time was that?

It was a little
after 3:00.

He was in some discomfort.

I told Nurse Byron to administer
two opioid analgesics orally,

and then I left.

Just before 3:00,
Mr. Bakewell asked for something

to help with the pain.

So, I went and found
Dr. Powell.

How long were you gone
from the ward?

Ten minutes?

It's about four minutes there.

I spoke to Dr. Powell

for perhaps two minutes
and then four minutes back.

And there couldn't have been
any mistake in the dosage,

that you gave Mr. Bakewell,
it was exactly

what Dr. Powell prescribed?

It was just a couple
of painkillers.

I'm sorry.

Doctor Powell's
completely thorough.

The unpaid overtime he puts in.

He even comes in when
he doesn't have to be here.

Just to check on his patients.

Doesn't he?

“J. suppose..

And you weren't away from
the ward at any other time,

until you were relieved this
morning at the time of shift?

No. No, I wasn't.

We found the stem of a bunch
of grapes under his bed.

Any idea where that
could have come from?

That was a gift, I believe,
from Mr. Talbot.

Anything?
Constable Jones said

he didn't leave his side
all night.

He's a good man, sir.

Well, somebody got to Bakewell.

And my money's
on Scotch Tam Fraser.

What, reckon he came back
for another go?

How'd he get past the sentry
and Constable Jones?

Who knows, but he did.

He could be back
in Scotland by now.

But if he's in Oxford
I want him found.

Bed ten again.

Oh, you're not putting
anything by that, are you?

There was one thing, sir.

Jones said he saw
the Sister take something

out of Bakewell's hand
when she found him.

Like what?

Well, he couldn't be sure,
but he thought it looked

like a flower.

A white one.

I don't know
what he thinks he saw,

but I'm afraid he's mistaken.

You removed a bunch of flowers

from beside his bed, didn't you.

That's what I heard you talking

to Nurse Bennett about?

But what of it?

Have you any idea
where they came from?

I've more important things
to be doing with my time.

My point is, how could he have
received any flowers,

if he didn't have any visitors?

I expect they belonged
to another patient

that had been discharged.

Rather than throw them out,

one of the nurses or porters
donated them.

Now...

if you'll excuse me,

I've a ward to run.

I came to in
the early hours, briefly.

There was a screen
around his bed.

Someone was in there with him.

I could see a shadow
moving about.

It was a nurse, Ithink.

You didn't see which one? No.

Just the silhouette
of a uniform.

Where was Constable Jones?

I don't know.
Wasn't there.

Anything else, sir?

Anything at all?

No, I must have
fallen asleep again.

That's the end of our case

against the Matthews gang.

Bakewell was our star witness.

I've had another word
with Jones, sir.

He's come clean.

Call of nature.

Five minutes, he says.

I'll talk to the rest
of the patients,

see if anyone else saw anything.

Right.

Sir.

Told you, didn't I?

Yes, you told me all right,
Mr. Talbot.

Did you see anything?

Oh, no, no.

Out like a light.

You gave Bakewell a bunch
of grapes, I believe.

Well, half a bunch,
felt sorry for him.

On his own some,
no visitors, you know.

You're a regular patient here,
are you?

Oh, yeah, yeah,
I've been in and out a bit.

You know, on account of my guts.

I wonder if you could give me
a list of all of the dates

you've stayed over the past,
what, six months?

And did you see
anything unusual?

No it was pretty
quiet, to be honest.

I had a couple of urine samples
to run over to pathology.

That's in a separate block.

Oh, and Mrs. Waldegrave on
Hyacinth Ward died about 1:00.

Have you any idea why Bakewell
would have been found

with a flower in his hand?

Well, if it'd been
a white flower,

the staff do, do that if it's
a child that's died.

When they lay 'em out.

They put a little flower
in their hand.

Like a white rose,
or a daisy as such.

For-for the parents.

They look like little angels.

It's hard to believe
they've gone sometimes.

But they have.

Information room from Trewlove.

Information room from Trewlove.

Been here since
Wednesday, from the parking tickets.

Ugh, gee whiz.

That's Tam Fraser.

So it couldn't've been him
that did for Bakewell then.

Not if he's already dead.

That'll be
his driver presumably.

Get the pathologist out.

Dead two days

according to deBryn,
Scotch Tam and his driver.

Two shots apiece.

Point blank range.

What's this?

All the deaths in bed ten
on Fosdick Ward.

With Bakewell that's nine
in the last six months.

All of them
are Dr. Powell's.

What do we know about him?

Not much.

Sir Merlyn fancies
he's after his job.

Is he?
Who knows?

But there's no love lost.

I've asked for his records from
Long Hampton and Finisham.

What about other
members of staff?

The porter, (Zapper, he was
on duty for most of the deaths.

Um, the nurses...

It's a changing roster,
so all of them

could have access to the ward.

Patients?

The only long term one
is Burt Talbot.

He's been present for four
of the deaths in bed ten.

Where were you yesterday?

I had things to do.

Family or...?

Well, if you need an ear,
or more time off...?

No, no, no.

Fine, thank you.

It's done now.

Keep me posted.

Wrong office.

Is that Mrs. Robson?

The jeweler's wife.

Naomi.

You were married.

She left me for Robson.

And Bakewell was in the gang
that left her paralyzed.

You think I'd do something
to him over a woman

who's walked out on me?

Yes I do, if you're still
in love with her.

Suppose you think
that's pathetic.

I didn't do anything
to Bakewell.

Where were you last night?

Finished my shift here,
got home at 11:00.

Anyone vouch for you?

Now you're just trying
to be funny.

Can anyone vouch for you?

Slight change of scenery
for you, Mr. Bright.

Bed ten, please, Capper.

Right you are, Sister.

I was quite happy where I was.

Dr. Powell's orders.

There you 90,
Mr. Bright.

He'll be by later
to discuss your X-rays.

Did they talk to you?

Not that I could tell them much.

I mean, Ijust found him.

But Dean says they've been
in and out of everything.

Ho ho, Dean is it now?

I think Dr. Powell
would be appropriate.

I think after last night,
I can call him what I like.

Hm!

You're wasting your breath.
She's a big girl.

But you know what
his reputation's like.

And they do talk.

Doctors.

She doesn't want to be just
another notch on the bedpost.

We nurses need to look out
for each other.

I don't get it at all.

Give them a white coat

and a stethoscope,

and we're expected
to fall at their feet?

Evening.

Some food for you.

Caroline?

I'm so, so sorry.

Are you?

Yes, of course.

Edgar was always very decent
to me.

Well, he always had a weakness
for failures.

The assistant chief constable
was a golfing friend of Edgar's.

I asked him about you.

And he said that you'll
never amount to much.

You didn't even pass
your sergeant's exam.

You see, 1 was fight about you,
even then.

When you speak to Susan,

then please just give her
my condolences.

And your love.

I believe you know
the stroke case on Fosdick Ward.

Mr. Bryce-Morgan?

Yes.
Why, what about him?

He died.

Twenty minutes ago.

I thought you'd want to know.

Right.

Excuse me, sir.
Visiting hours are over.

Police, what's your business?

Jesus Christ!

Get these cuffs off me!

Get these cuffs off now!
Stay here!

Thursday,
don't leave me like this!

Don't worry, Mr. Bakewell.

We'll look after you.

Go!

You get the reg?

Out of town talent, like as not.

London?
Birmingham?

Glasgow?

Put together an Identikit.

It's the station.

Right.

Mr. Bright's been
taken sick, Fred says.

Yes.

Ulcer.

Is everything all right?

She told us not to look for her,
but it's ten weeks now.

Ijust need to know
she's all right.

Did we do something wrong?

No.

No, no, no, of course not.

Then, why?

I don't know.

I'm off up.

Right.

Uniform found the car abandoned
in Honwell Street.

I've ordered the guard
on Bakewell doubled.

Sentries front and back.

Why, do you think
he'll try again?

Not if I've got anything
to do with it.

Picture ready?

Yes, sir.

Anything else?

The getaway car was reported
stolen in Coventry

yesterday afternoon.

Wheel and door panels
wiped clean according

to the fingerprint boys.

Looks like professionals.

Right.

Come on.

Where're we going?

I don't care who they are,
they're not taking liberties.

Not here.

So what was he in for?

Mr. Zacharides?

Gall bladder.

I didn't think you'd need
a post mortem

if you died in hospital.

Sir Merlyn insisted.

Why?

Operation was a success,
and Mr. Zacharides

seemed to be recovering well.

Just went in the night.

Who operated on him?

The young pretender.

Dr. Powell.

Not a lot of love lost

between him and Sir Merlyn.

Word on the wards

is Powell fancies his job.

How does Merlyn feel about that?

Hm, "over my dead body"
is the phrase that springs

most readily to mind.

Ah, Nurse Hicks,

just pop them on my desk,
please, thank you.

Hello, Gil.

Somebody tried to do
for Terry Bakewell last night.

Him.

I wanna know who he is,
where he is,

and which shitehawk
staked the job.

Don't make me ask you again,
Gil.

I haven't had breakfast.

Who is he?

I don't know his real name.

They call him Scotch Tam.

Down from Aberdeen or somewhere.

But don't bother looking.

You won't see him again.

How'd he know
where to find Bakewell?

Oh.

Some bent screw at Farnleigh.

Who put the money down?

Whip-round, I should think.

What do you think?

I'd get that seen to,
if I were you Gil.

It looks nasty.

So what did you want
to talk to me about?

Is there anything that I should
know about Fosdick Ward?

There was a patient
called Zacharides

died about six months ago.

His wife thinks some
of his things were stolen.

I don't know about thieving,

but there's something
not right there.

Wouldn't be anything to do
with bed ten, would it?

Why?

Just something
one of the patients said.

Being put in bed ten is
tantamount to a death sentence.

The mortality rate
on Fosdick Ward

is more than it should be...
Certainly when compared

to the rest of the hospital.

Patients that had
been recovering

suddenly going downhill.

Must be eight or nine
have died unexpectedly

in the last six months.

And what do you think?

Don't quote me,

but there's talk
Sir Merlyn's passed it.

And what do you make
of Dr. Powell?

Seems nice enough.

All the girls seem to like him.

Are you happy?

What about you?

Treat the next one better.

Good Lord!

What kind of a ward
are you running, Sister?

The water in that vase
is positively putrid!

Take those flowers away at once.

At once, Sir Merlyn.

Nurse Bennett!

Yes, sister.

Get rid of those flowers!

Away with them, now.

Now, then, my good man.

Bakewell, isn't it?

You'll be under my knife,

assisted by Dr. Powell here.

And this is Dr. Kane,
who'll be in charge

of keeping you breathing.
Any questions?

Yeah, I wanna change beds.

You want to what?

You heard me.

All I hear, the life expectancy
in this one ain't too hot.

Remember who you're talking to.

I don't care who he is.

Somebody tried to kill me
last night,

and bed ten's
got a bad reputation

amongst my fellow inmates.

So if it's all the same
to you...

You're a rogue, sir,
and a jailbird.

You'll go where you're put and
be thankful my oath obliges me

to treat saint and sinner alike.

Sister.

With the time just
coming up to a quarter past 9:00.

You 're listening to...

Radio Carillon.

How long have you been
at Cowley General, Mr. Fagan?

About three years
doing the radio

and running the book trolley.

Since the divorce.

And it's voluntary, you said?

Oh yes.

I don't get paid.

But my mother was
a patient here, rest her soul,

and they were so good to her.

Ijust wanted to do something.

Hm.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Any requests let me know.

I forgot, Sister.

Oh...
oh, I know you forgot!

And how do you think
that makes me look?

I know, Sister.
I'm sorry.

Where did they come from?

Sister?

The sweet peas, girl.

Who brought them?

I don't know, Sister.

Did Mr. Bakewell
have a visitor?

I wouldn't have thought so,
Sister.

When you asked me
to get rid of them,

it was the first time
I'd seen them.

Right, then.
About your work.

Mr. Dunn needs a bed bath
and a full linen change.

Quickly, now.

Morning.

I imagine you'll think
that was a bit harsh.

But discipline in a hospital
is a matter of life and death.

Yes, I'm sure.

Do you have a moment?
I'd like a quick word.

There's a small amount
of petty pilfering goes on

in any hospital.

Patients steal
from other patients.

A sad fact, but there it is.

Yes, but what about
Mrs. Zacharides?

The hospital conducted
a thorough inquiry,

and found she was mistaken
in her allegations.

Are you busy, Clo?

The officer was just asking

about Mrs. Zacharides.

Oh yes?
Uh... what about her.

She was found dead yesterday.

Really?

Well, I am sorry to hear that.

According to her daughter,

she received a letter
from the hospital.

Somebody was set to visit her
Friday.

The day she died.

May I see it?

I'm afraid the letter
is missing.

I have to say,
that sounds very unlikely.

Wouldn't you say, Doctor?

Oh. Certainly, yes.

As far as we were concerned,
the matter was closed.

Much as one hates to speak ill
of the dead,

she'd become
something of a nuisance...

Coming onto the ward, pestering
the staff, making accusations.

In the end, I'm afraid we had
to threaten her with the police.

Oh, excuse me.

Do you remember
a Mr. Zacharides?

Yes.

I was very sorry to lose him.

One tries to maintain
a sense of detachment,

but it's not always easy.

Bed ten, wasn't he?

Where's that come from?

Mr. Talbot?

Hm.

It might have a slightly higher
than average death rate,

but it's not cursed or anything.

It just tends to be the less
well patients end up in it.

His wife is of the opinion,

that some of his things
have gone missing.

By not one of the nurses,
surely.

Heaven knows
we don't get paid much,

but one doesn't go
into nursing for the money.

It's a calling, I suppose.

Yes, if you like.

And policing?

What's that?

A failing.

I'll get on to that,
right away, sir.

Course, sir.

Yes, sir.

No, sir.

Three bags full, sir.

How you getting on?

Drink?

Please.

Glass over there.

That sudden out at Northway.

Mrs. Zacharides.

According to her daughter,

she was in dispute
with Cowley General over some

of her late husband's property
which wasn't returned to her.

She thought someone was on
the nick up at the hospital?

That's about the size of it.

Staff or public?

Impossible to say, she'd become
something of a nuisance.

The hospital deny
any impropriety, naturally,

and as far as they're concerned
the matter was closed.

So?

Well, according to the daughter,

she received a letter
from the hospital.

Someone said they'd visit her
on the day she died.

Why would the hospital do that
if it was done and dusted?

One other thing.

Mr. Zacharides died in bed ten
on Fosdick Ward.

Now, I know it sounds ridiculous
but it has something

of a dark reputation
amongst its patients.

What?

Well, it does have

a slightly higher than average
mortality rate.

Patients on the mend taking
a turn for the worse.

I'd like to look into it.

Well, pursue inquiries
as you see fit.

There.

That's one decent decision
I've made today.

Anything else?

Doctor?

I won't have student nurses
bullied.

Any particular student nurse
you had in mind, doctor?

Just knock it off, Clo.

Dean?

Someone knows.

Home.

I'm home.

What's this?

Win?

Love of God.

Winifred!

1 went to see
Dr. Moody today.

For what?

Nerves.

Not sleeping.

Ijust don't feel myself, Fred.

What's that mean?

You just need something to

take you out of yourself
that's all.

Why don't you go
and spend the week at Rene's?

Ijust don't want
to go outside the house.

I get frightened.

Of what?

I don't know.

It's just like that lately.

I get very nervous.

I'd do anything for you.

You know that.

But, I can't fix a thing if I...
I don't know what it is I'm...

I'm trying to fix.

What can I do?

I don't know.

Leave the window for me.

Where are you going?

As if I didn't know.

You won't tell?

I should.

But no, you're all right.

For god sake don't let
Sister catch you.

Wicked miserable cow.

Look, I know she seems
a bit fuddy duddy

by today's standards,
but are you sure you really know

what you're doing?

What do you mean?

Doctors and nurses.

It all seems lovely
in some silly paperback,

but in real life these things
can go awfully wrong.

It's just a bit of fun.

If that's your idea of fun.

I'm being careful, Jo.

I should hope so.

Not too long out of bed,
Mr. Talbot.

How you feeling?

I've brung you a few grapes

seeing as you've had
no visitors.

So you're public enemy
number one, then, is it?

All right, don't get your bowels
in an uproar.

I've had a... I've had the odd
run in with the law in my time.

Is that right?
Yeah.

When I was a boy.

Nothing in your league,
I don't suppose.

So, uh, what's your line, then?

Murder.

Oh.

I get this uncontrollable urge
to kill nosy parkers.

Ta for the grapes.

No Morse?

Day's leave, sir.

He asked if he could borrow the
car; I said it was all right.

Family, is it, or something?

Didn't say, sir.

Anything more on this gunman?

Thomas Fraser, sir.

Been in Glasgow
the last few years.

Frequent guest of Her Majesty
at Barlinnie.

Suspected of involvement
in several gangland killings

up there.

Gun for hire.

Stick out like a sore thumb
in this neck of the woods

I would've thought.
So why haven't we found him?

Hello, sir,
Detective Constable Morse.

Oxford City Police, Mister...?

Booth.

Have you seen this lady?

She's not in any trouble.

54.

Morse.

Miss Thu rsday.

I had a reverse charges call
from Leamington.

Well, it wasn't me.

Oh, right.

Well, Ijust wanted to see
how you were.

I'm fine.

What are you doing
with yourself?

Doing with myself?

For money and...

I told you, I'm all right.

Yeah, I see.

And, uh, what about you?

Me?

Uh...

Oh just-just-just work.

Can I get you a drink?

Yes.

Uh, but actually just a squash.

Um, I've got the car.

No.

I appreciate that, sir,
Ijust felt that apprehending

whoever attempted to murder

Terence Bakewell had priority

over discussing
traffic congestion

with Councilor Rooney.

That's why 1 was
out of the office.

Yes, sir.

I'll talk to the town planning
department this afternoon.

Course, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Why would Nurse Bennett

think our arresting Dr. Powell
was your fault?

Who knows?

The girl's head
is full of fancies.

Is there anything between them?

I'm sure I don't know.

You were with him
at Long Hampton, yes?

Only very briefly.

But it was your testimony
that cleared him

in the case of Molly Keenan.

I didn't "clear" him.

He was innocent.

It was a young student nurse
was to blame.

He wasn't guilty then, and I
can't believe he's guilty now.

Can't or won't?

You shouldn't.

You know,

I thought...

I thought for a minute...

Nearly.

Bugger this.

I'd sooner
that you didn't tell

Mum and Dad that you'd seen me.

You should get in touch.

Or drop them a line.

Or something.

And say what?

Just let them know
that you're all right.

It's the right thing to do.

Oh, the right thing.

I've always done
the right thing.

For all the good it's done.

What happened at the bank
was nothing to do with you.

It's not your fault that
Ronny Gidderton died.

You know that's not true.

Ifl hadn't got mixed up
with that...

The daughter
of a police inspector.

All those times
you walked me home.

The perfect gentleman.

You never tried it on.
Not once.

It's funny how things turn out.

It can turn out
how you want it to.

You should...
you should probably go.

It bears
the hospital letterhead,

but we've no Dr. Keenan here.

Nor have we
in the 20 years I've been here.

Well, whoever sent it seems
to have a good knowledge

of Mrs. Zacharides' dispute
with the hospital.

As may be.

But it did not come
from within Cowley General.

You all right, sir?

It's nothing.

Overwork.

I'm due a holiday.

Your hands would shake too
if you had my lists.

Well, it doesn't matter now.

'Cause I'm not coming back.

Why?

Wh-what will you do?

I don't know.

Go abroad?

I don't care.

I do.

How's Nurse Bennett?

She'll be fine.

Is there's something between
her and Dr. Powell?

It happens.

It's not Daisy's fault.

It's no fault in love, surely.

Provided nobody else gets hurt.

Has somebody been hurt?

Not in this instance, no.

He even tried it on with me.

Dr. Powell did?

You weren't interested?

You can't rely
on a man like that.

It's what's inside that counts,
isn't it?

Always.

I found this
in Powell's office.

Mr. Zacharides' tie pin?

It matches the description
his daughter gave.

Souvenir or...?

I also found these at his flat.

On top of the wardrobe.

He was involved
with Sister MacMahon

when he was a houseman
at Long Hampton.

He's kept some of her
love letters...

Together with some clippings
about the Keenan case.

You think that's a bearing?
It's worth considering.

He's now seeing
that student nurse,

Daisy Bennett.

Can't have been easy for
Sister MacMahon knowing that.

What about this?

Brace him for round two.

See if there's anything else
in there we can put to him.

He's sleeping.

Probably for the best.

I've told you already,
it's not mine.

No, doctor.

It belonged
to Mr. Zacharides.

Have you any explanation
how it came to be found

in your office?

Someone must have put it there.

Why wasn't Sister MacMahon
on the ward the night

Molly Keenan died?

What?
You heard.

A young girl gave evidence
to the inquest.

Molly Keenan's cousin,
Jo-Beth Keenan.

When she realized her cousin
was gravely ill,

as a result of the insulin
that you gave her,

she called the night hell
for assistance,

only nobody came.
Why?

Why didn't you respond, doctor?

Was it because
you and Nurse MacMahon

had other more pressing things
on your mind?

That's because,
cause Clodagh switched it off.

It was just half an hour.

It might only have been
half an hour,

but that was long enough
for Molly Keenan

to die of hypoglycemia.

I made a-a terrible,
terrible mistake.

And a child died.

And it will... it will never
be enough to make it right,

but God knows
I have paid for it.

You paid for nothing.

You passed the buck to an
innocent student nurse.

And she killed herself.

That's two deaths
on your head, doctor.

We couldn't have known
she'd do that.

"We"?
You mean you and Clodagh?

You probably don't remember

Molly Keenan's cousin at all,
do you?

The young girl who rang the bell
for help, but nobody came.

No.
No.

Well, she remembers you.

Both of you.

Has Mr. Bright
had an injection?

No.

No, not while I've been here.

Everything all right, Sister?

Quite all right.

Excuse me, Miss.

We're looking for Nurse Mills?

Jo's on night shift.

Well, she's not on the ward.

Have you checked the chapel?

It's you.

Dr. Powell's
not coming back.

You can't cover up
for him this time.

It's all going to come out now.

All of it.

How the... how the pair of you
left a child to die,

and you...

you protected him.

Why?

I loved him.

How can you go on living
knowing what you've done?

If it were me,

I'd...

I'd kill myself.

Break it down.

Get her out of here.
Come on, Sister.

Let's go.

Don't.
All right. All right.

Oh err...

Ten victims for bed ten.

That was Molly's bed,
wasn't it, bed ten?

Measles, we were in for.

When Molly started to get sick,

I rang on the bell.

It rang and it rang,
but nobody came.

By the tune 1 got them back
onto the ward

it was too late for Molly.

She was my cousin.

And the truth is
I forgot about them.

X forgot, but 1
never forgave them.

And then fate delivered them
into your hands.

They had to pay.

Molly was a child.

And they took away her future.

And what about
Mrs. Zacharides?

Her husband was the first.

Only she wouldn't leave it
alone.

You see it was...
it was too early.

I needed to have more people
to lay at Powell's door,

otherwise they could have
brushed under the carpet,

the way they did with Molly.

So you...
so you wrote the letter...

pretending to be
from the hospital.

Went to the house.

And then when the opportunity
arose you killed her.

Evil old cow!

Evil old cow!

You killed all those people,

just to frame Dr. Powell?

They were sick already!

It was a-a kindness.

Mrs. Zacharides
wasn't ill.

Was she?

Just inconvenient.

You said there were ten,

I can only count nine.
Who's the tenth?

Who is it?

I didn't know you
were going to arrest Dr. Powell.

I thought if a policeman died,

you'd... you'd have
to take notice.

Mr. Bright.

Sir.

Sir!

There's insulin in the saline.

I'll fetch a doctor.

Stay awake, sir!

You've got to stay awake, sir!

Stay awake!

Nick of time,
according to Dr. deBryn.

Much more of it,
he'd have been a goner.

We were lucky she came clean.

Why did she, do you think?

Maybe she needed to prove to
herself she wasn't wholly lost.

Well, she'll never breathe
free air again.

Nor should she.

People shouldn't get away
with things.

She had that right, at least.

But that's our business,
and nobody else's.

Hell of a price to pay.

It was the dead
that paid the price.

Not her.

Hell of a responsibility though.

The power of life and death.

Well, you've power
over ham and tomato.

I don't even know what
I've stuck in it today.

Tell me to mind
my own business, sir,

but is everything all right?

With Mrs. Thursday?

Nothing that Joan
walking through the door

wouldn't put right.

She misses her, that's all.

Suppose we all do.

You think she'll come back?

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread;

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those
who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom

and the power and the glory

forever and ever.

Amen.
