00:00:00It's the start of a new era. In Oxford, it's out with the old and in with the new.
00:00:07As Councillor Clyde Burkett, in charge of the Planning and Housing Department, welcomes the first tenant to Cranmer House, one of three tower blocks at Oxford's New Martyrs Field development.
00:00:21A stunning feat of modern engineering, changing the Oxford skyline forever.
00:00:28Councillor Burkett is keen to hand over the first set of keys.
00:00:35For Mrs. Olive Reynolds and daughter Sandra, this is a dream come true. A top floor flat and just look at the view.
00:00:43What a brave new world.

00:05:04Al?
00:05:07Mm-hmm.
00:05:18Wayne?
00:05:24I said I'd get it back.
00:05:26It's not all of it.
00:05:27Not yet, but it will be.
00:05:30There's enough there for that new oven you've been wanting.
00:05:34And something for yourself, obviously, a new frock or two.
00:05:41I thought a holiday, maybe.
00:05:44Where did it come from?
00:05:46Where?
00:05:48I got it back. That's where.
00:05:52From where it went. I got it back.
00:05:55Charlie?
00:05:56I don't believe you.
00:05:58Winnie?
00:06:00A bit of overtime here and there.
00:06:04It-It soon adds up.
00:06:06Overtime?
00:06:08What, the sort of overtime
00:06:09that leaves your knuckles raw and blood on your cuffs?
00:06:13That sort of overtime?
00:06:15You can keep it.
00:06:17I don't want any part of it.
00:06:34Doctor?
00:06:35Inspector?
00:06:36Inspector?
00:06:37Osbert Page.
00:06:40Chief Librarian.
00:06:41Found by Lucy Peru, one of the juniors.
00:06:45Single stab wound to the back.
00:06:46Defensive injuries.
00:06:48A pretty vicious attack.
00:06:50Cause of death most likely to be massive hemorrhage.
00:06:54Time?
00:06:55Twelve to eighteen hours.
00:06:58Well, the library would have closed about seven last night, so...
00:07:04Wood chisel.
00:07:05Unusual choice of weapon.
00:07:07Now, as far as I can see from the distribution of blood spatter,
00:07:12the attack took place in this isle.
00:07:15He made half a dozen paces before being overcome by his injuries.
00:07:20I'll be able to give you chapter and verse after the post-mortem.
00:07:24Shall we say two o'clock?
00:07:26Sir?
00:07:33Money blueprints?
00:07:34Oh, yes.
00:07:36Evidence of mud and dirt was found amongst the blood.
00:07:39Sample's been taken by forensics.
00:07:41I'll give you the full gen once it's in.
00:07:48Family?
00:07:50Not that I know of.
00:07:52He lived alone.
00:07:53In Jericho.
00:07:55What was he like?
00:07:56Upset in his ways.
00:07:58Quite disagreeable when the mood was on him.
00:08:01Which was most of the time.
00:08:03He lived for the library.
00:08:06And his walking, of course.
00:08:09He was a keen rambler.
00:08:11Did he get on well with the rest of his colleagues?
00:08:15I suppose.
00:08:17I've not been here very long, so...
00:08:21Who else was in here?
00:08:22Well, there were only a couple of regulars.
00:08:26Where were they sitting?
00:08:26Professor Burroughs was sitting there, and Dr. Nicholson was sitting just here.
00:08:41What are they, gums?
00:08:43Yes, that's right.
00:08:44Those guys...
00:08:45Memoirs of a voluptuary.
00:09:03Isn't that part of the fight collection?
00:09:05Isn't that part of the fight collection?
00:09:06Yes, I believe so.
00:09:07Oh.
00:09:08Well, I'd be interested to know who asked for it to be brought up.
00:09:09Of course.
00:09:10If you'll just give me a moment.
00:09:11The Fie collection.
00:09:12Oh.
00:09:13Obscene or libelous works that aren't available to all readers.
00:09:15A special request has to be made to the librarian for access.
00:09:16Who ever did it for Page would have hidden in the library after closing, would you think?
00:09:17Hmm.
00:09:18Only the places for a man to hide in here.
00:09:19It was Dr. Nicholson who put in the request for the book.
00:09:20I should have remembered, because Mr. Page got a bit baity about it.
00:09:21Why is that?
00:09:22No.
00:09:23No.
00:09:24No.
00:09:25No.
00:09:26No.
00:09:27No.
00:09:28No.
00:09:29No.
00:09:30No.
00:09:31No.
00:09:32No.
00:09:33No.
00:09:34No.
00:09:35No.
00:09:36No.
00:09:37No.
00:09:38No.
00:09:39No.
00:09:40No.
00:09:41No.
00:09:42No.
00:09:44No.
00:09:45No.
00:09:46Dr. Nicholson was always after one book or another from the collection.
00:09:51Well, I'll be grateful for a list of all of the other books he asked for.
00:09:55Oh, I don't suppose you remember anyone wearing a pair of muddy boots, do you?
00:09:59Muddy boots?
00:10:00No.
00:10:01No.
00:10:02Mr. Page would not have stood for that.
00:10:04Well, thank you, Miss Perrault.
00:10:13Good morning.
00:10:15I intend today to deal with Gödel's completeness theorem, which states that if a formula is
00:10:20logically valid, then there is a finite deduction or formal proof of the formula.
00:10:30Is this a joke?
00:10:31Who did this?
00:10:32Who did this?
00:10:33Who did this?
00:10:34Who did this?
00:10:36Well, either Oz but Page was the untidiest librarian to ever draw breath.
00:10:43Well, somebody's beaten us to it.
00:10:44Well, somebody's beaten us to it.
00:10:58Well, somebody's beaten us to it.
00:10:59Well, I'm sorry.
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:01I'm sorry.
00:11:02I'm sorry.
00:11:03Well, I'm sorry.
00:11:04But, she's not done well.
00:11:05It's the damp.
00:11:06It's got onto her chest.
00:11:07Damp?
00:11:08Yeah.
00:11:09Come and have a look for yourself.
00:11:11She's not been well. It's the damp. It's got on to her chest.
00:11:17Damp?
00:11:18Yeah. Come and have a look for yourself.
00:11:27That's not damp, Mrs Reynolds.
00:11:30How long's it been like this?
00:11:32Since we moved in. I've tried painting over it, but it just comes back through again.
00:11:37It's not just me. It's happening in loads of other flats.
00:11:47Anything?
00:11:48Well, nothing unless this map of the Gower has any bearing.
00:11:52What's that? Greek, is it?
00:11:54Hmm. Animoi. Wind gods.
00:11:57What about that? H-B?
00:11:59H-B?
00:12:01No. Your guess is as good as mine.
00:12:05Haven't whoever turned this place over found what they were looking for.
00:12:09I'll get forensics over.
00:12:11Meantime, we can give those readers at the library a spin.
00:12:15Number three.
00:12:18Ah-oh, Bill.
00:12:20C-F-O-L-D.
00:12:22Dr. Nicholson?
00:12:23About the fun and games, is it?
00:12:24Dr. Nicholson, about the fun and games is it? What fun and games? The stuff left in his cubby sir, bits of metal, an amulet I suppose you'd call it with Greek writing or something on it.
00:12:52One of the undergrads said that someone's been writing the word Dora up on his blackboard. Dora? That's right sir, in the lecture theatre and in his tutorial. How long has this been going on? About a month or so I suppose. I've offered to call the police before now but he didn't seem too keen. You were at the Bodleian yesterday evening, Dr. Nicholson. Yes. We'd like to know what time you arrived, what time you left, where you went from the library and if anyone can vouch for you.
00:13:22Uh, I was um, arrived about five, left just before seven and uh, went home. Can anyone confirm that? My wife was out for the evening, she returned about eleven.
00:13:36Did you happen to notice anyone unusual or out of place hanging around the library about the time you left? Someone wearing muddy boots perhaps?
00:13:45Muddy boots?
00:13:47There were muddy boot prints on the floor of the library. Indeed. No. No. Uh, no, I think I would have remembered that.
00:13:59Did you know Mr. Page personally? As a librarian, yes. No. Not personally. I'm sorry I can't be of greater assistance. Unless there was anything else I can help you with.
00:14:16Uh, there was just one thing. This book you had out of the Fi Collection. Memoirs of uh, what was it more?
00:14:24Voluptuary. Voluptuary. Racy go for a numbers man, I'd have thought.
00:14:30I'm writing a paper on Edwardian erotica. It's very popular. Well-thumbed, I'm sure. I'm more of a Holly Martins man myself.
00:14:42Each to their own. You've been in receipt of some curiosities, I believe, in your pigeonhole.
00:14:48Time was. The discretion of a porter could be relied upon. None of my experience. Ragweek hijinks. Nothing more.
00:14:58Really? Seems a little late in the year for a ragweek, I'd have thought. Those who are responsible will be found and disciplined, I'm sure. It's a college matter. Nothing for the police to get involved in.
00:15:10Nothing for the police to get involved in. What? You change your mind, you know where to reach us.
00:15:20That one's Aga Tipularis. A species of prawn, now extinct, of course. I lifted him myself on a walking holiday in the Long Vac in 32. In Germany.
00:15:34Is that your field, Professor Burrows? Ah, would that it were, would that it were. Alas, no. Geology is my line. Fossils are an adjunct, I suppose.
00:15:44My particular delight is postage stamps. Philately. This is about poor Mr. Page, is it?
00:15:54You've heard? I have, yes. Terrible thing. Absolutely terrible.
00:15:59What is it you were doing at the library? I've been asked to evaluate a number of items. Letters, historical documents and a vast stamp collection left to the college by the late Mr. Teagarden.
00:16:11And is it? Valuable? One or two of the stamps are of interest on the letters, oddly enough. But nothing spectacular in the main collection.
00:16:20And you left the library at what time? About the ten minute bell. Ten to seven or so.
00:16:26Anybody see you leave? The other readers, I suppose. I stopped off at my rooms at the college and then came home.
00:16:33Anybody see you at college? Mr. Jenkins, the porter, was on duty. And here?
00:16:38Ah, well, I live alone. I'm a confirmed bachelor. Yet another old fossil. You and me both, Professor.
00:16:49I've just had another three calls from residents. This is getting ridiculous. Off to save the world, Viv.
00:16:55When are you going to do something about the complaints at Grandma House? It's in hand.
00:17:00With respect, Councillor Burkett, that's what we were told last month. Miss Thursday, my junior.
00:17:06I see. Training her up well. It's not so funny if you actually live there.
00:17:10Homes fit for habitation, that was your election promise?
00:17:13And I stand by it. Every word. I'll look into it. Miss Lansbury, make a note.
00:17:19Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for the chamber.
00:17:23Sandra? Have you washed your hands? How are you feeling?
00:17:34A bit better.
00:17:37Go on, then. I've made you some soup.
00:17:45Mum, it's happening again.
00:17:48Why? Come on.
00:18:06Disturbance. Grandma House.
00:18:11What kind of disturbance?
00:18:12I don't know. There's been multiple calls from residents.
00:18:16Look, you can be there and back in 40 minutes, the Governor asked.
00:18:20Right.
00:18:43What was that?
00:18:45Did you feel that?
00:18:46I felt it.
00:18:47What's happening?
00:18:48Mum, what's going on? Why are the lights doing that?
00:18:51I don't know. Right. We need to go.
00:18:52Come on. Let's run. Okay. Let's go. Hold on to Mommy. That's right. Let's go. Come on. Come on, Dublin. Come on, come on. It's okay.
00:19:00I'm coming up. It's okay. You're okay. It's okay. Yeah. We're okay. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
00:19:15We're okay. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:19:22This way, this way, this way.
00:19:24It's okay, baby. It's okay.
00:19:25Everything's going to be okay now.
00:19:27Okay, okay.
00:19:28Okay, baby.
00:19:29Goodbye, baby.
00:19:30Goodbye, goodbye.
00:19:31Mom!
00:19:32Mom!
00:19:33Sandra, where?
00:19:45Mom!
00:19:49Mom ah!
00:19:50Mom ah!
00:19:53Mom ah!
00:19:58Mom ah!
00:20:03Mom ah!
00:21:05All right.
00:21:07Castlegate, one of my officers.
00:21:10Very good.
00:21:11Williams, Benson, Davies, let's get a human chain organized, yes?
00:21:14Yes, sir.
00:21:15Start clearing some of this rubble, but mind how you go?
00:21:17I don't want any more casualties.
00:21:18Yes, sir.
00:21:19Yes, sir.
00:21:28The accident appears to have happened without warning.
00:21:53One side of the building has sheared away from the rest.
00:21:55The total number of casualties is not yet known.
00:21:59Had the collapse happened during the hours of darkness,
00:22:01one can be certain that the death toll would have been very much higher.
00:22:05Her Majesty the Queen has sent a message of sympathy to the bereaved.
00:22:25We should clear her out.
00:22:29Leave it to uniform, there's nothing we can do.
00:22:31Well, we can be here.
00:22:33I can be here.
00:22:35One of us should.
00:22:37Does that help with identification?
00:22:41Whatever you think.
00:22:45Put that bloody cigarette out!
00:22:49Right.
00:22:51Stand two.
00:22:53Word from Bottoms is life goes on.
00:22:55Business as usual, everyone.
00:22:57So, where are we on this Bodleian inquiry?
00:23:11Moss.
00:23:12Um, deceased is an Osbert Page, senior librarian at the Bodleian.
00:23:16Murder weapon was a wood chisel, found in situ, no fingerprints.
00:23:18Oh, the interesting thing was muddy boot prints found at the locus and leading away from the body.
00:23:36They're with forensics.
00:23:37Anything in the way of motive?
00:23:38Page's flat was turned over, sir, but that's to what they were looking for.
00:23:41There was a map of the Gower Peninsula with one or two things written on it.
00:23:45Yeah, Page was a rambler.
00:23:46What was on the map?
00:23:47HB.
00:23:48And something in Greek.
00:23:49Anamoi.
00:23:50The wind gods, apparently.
00:23:51Well, I think we can probably leave them off the suspects' roster.
00:23:54Speaking of which, a couple of academics, wasn't it, you said?
00:23:56That's right.
00:23:57Dr Nicholson and Professor Burrows, both at Garstine College, neither of whom have an alibi.
00:24:00Well, I think we can probably leave them off the suspects' roster.
00:24:02Speaking of which, a couple of academics, wasn't it, you said?
00:24:04That's right, Dr Nicholson and Professor Burrows, both at Garstine College,
00:24:06neither of whom have an alibi.
00:24:08Well, keep at it.
00:24:09It'd be nice to have a result to throw out division for the quarterlies.
00:24:13And that junior librarian, Miss Paroo, rang.
00:24:17She's got that list of books you were after.
00:24:19Right.
00:24:20One or two errands to rank a new deal?
00:24:22Yeah, of course.
00:24:23Keep me posted.
00:24:24Will do.
00:24:29You all right?
00:24:30Yes.
00:24:32You had a bad call yesterday.
00:24:34Well, there's many had it worse.
00:24:35All the same.
00:24:40Why don't you sign yourself off for a few days?
00:24:42You know, I can take up the slack with himself.
00:24:44I think now is hardly the time.
00:24:46Well, if you change your mind.
00:24:49I'd sooner be busy.
00:24:51Hello.
00:24:52Hi.
00:24:53I believe you have that list of books that Dr Nicholson requested from the five collection for me.
00:25:10Oh, yes.
00:25:11Yes.
00:25:13I'm afraid they're rather of a piece.
00:25:16Antique smut.
00:25:17Mr Page was not best pleased.
00:25:19He often took the professor to task about it.
00:25:23However, it was nothing besides his run-in with Professor Burrows the other week.
00:25:28What run-in?
00:25:29Something to do with this donation, or whatever it is, with the Tea Garden family, I believe.
00:25:34The professor and Mr Page had a blazing row about it.
00:25:37Well, if you do come across it, I'd be grateful to see it.
00:25:41Of course.
00:25:44Oh, excuse me, sir.
00:25:45Is Professor Burrows in today?
00:25:47Lunching out, I believe, sir.
00:25:49Oh.
00:25:50What about Dr Nicholson?
00:25:51Is he in?
00:25:52Just missed him, sir.
00:25:53But, um, I see the fun and games I told you about is still going on.
00:25:58How's that?
00:25:59Another message just delivered to his cubby, sir.
00:26:02Delivered by him?
00:26:03Person or persons unknown, I believe that's the phrase, isn't it?
00:26:08I didn't see.
00:26:09Arrived when I was about my business.
00:26:12Can I see it?
00:26:14Yes, of course.
00:26:23There we are.
00:26:25Well.
00:26:26Lucky for that, thank you.
00:26:27Oh, very well, sir, if you say so.
00:26:28I'll let Dr Nicholson know the truth.
00:26:29I'll let him know myself when I see him.
00:26:30Oh, very good.
00:26:31Oh, um, you found, uh, Professor Burrows at home all right yesterday, did you?
00:26:34Oh, I did, yes, thank you.
00:26:35A nice old man, isn't he?
00:26:36Yes, yes.
00:26:37One of my favorites of, uh, Porter's allowed such a thing.
00:26:38He's always been very respectful.
00:26:40Not like some I could name.
00:26:42You wouldn't think to look at him now, sir, but, um, he was quite a card in his day.
00:26:57Uh, but I suppose life takes it out of the best of us.
00:27:00Dismay.
00:27:01How's that?
00:27:02Same as most men, I suppose, sir.
00:27:04Some girl he had hopes of.
00:27:09Miss Teagon.
00:27:10Detective Sergeant Morse, Thames Valley.
00:27:12I've got to look at him now, sir, but, um, he was quite a card in his day.
00:27:15Ah, but I suppose life takes it out of the best of us.
00:27:18Dismay.
00:27:19How's that?
00:27:20Same as most men, I suppose, sir.
00:27:22Some girl he had hopes of.
00:27:25Detective Sergeant Morse, Thames Valley.
00:27:27Of course.
00:27:28Come in.
00:27:29My condolences.
00:27:30Thank you for seeing me at such short notice.
00:27:38Have you any idea what's in the bequest?
00:27:40Oh.
00:27:41Anything and everything.
00:27:42Grandfather was something of a polymath.
00:27:44His papers, stamp collections, letters.
00:27:47But he didn't leave behind a list or anything.
00:27:50Really?
00:27:51Because there's been mention made of an inventory?
00:27:53Not that I know of.
00:27:54I can only assume it's been compiled by those examining the collection.
00:27:58Teagarden.
00:27:59Unusual name.
00:28:00Should have been tree garden or orchard.
00:28:03Baumgarten.
00:28:04Only the immigration official misheard.
00:28:07So your family's German?
00:28:08Originally.
00:28:09My grandfather's side came to England in 1911.
00:28:13Is this him?
00:28:15No.
00:28:16That's his brother, Emil.
00:28:18He was a physicist before the war in Berlin.
00:28:21Another Einstein, my grandfather said.
00:28:24A very great man.
00:28:26Or would have been.
00:28:27Had he lived.
00:28:29A labor camp.
00:28:31For the V2 factory in Mittelbau.
00:28:34The whole family.
00:28:36Emil.
00:28:37His wife.
00:28:38Their daughter.
00:28:39Deborah, for whom I'm named.
00:28:41Do you read Hebrew?
00:28:42A little.
00:28:43Have you any idea what this means?
00:28:51Amet means truth.
00:28:52Why?
00:28:53I just may have some bearing on a case.
00:28:54What about this?
00:28:55Mavet.
00:28:56Death.
00:28:57Reminds me of a story my grandfather used to tell me when I was small.
00:29:11Do you know what a sham is?
00:29:13I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:29:16I have no idea what they mean.
00:29:18You sure about that?
00:29:20We found one of them in a waste paper basket near to where you were sitting in the Bodleian.
00:29:25And the other one in your cubby hole here.
00:29:28I'm as much in the dark as you.
00:29:31Whoever left them must believe they mean something to you.
00:29:34Then they're wildly mistaken.
00:29:37I also believe there have been things written on your blackboard during lectures.
00:29:41I don't recall.
00:29:43According to those present, it was the word Dora.
00:29:46Does that mean anything to you?
00:29:47No.
00:29:48Really?
00:29:50Because the students seemed to think that you were rather distracted by the word.
00:29:54Why should I be?
00:29:55I've never met anyone with that name.
00:29:58Really.
00:29:59I'm at a loss to see the connection between these things and a stabbing at the Bodleian.
00:30:05He's lying.
00:30:06Of course he is, but why?
00:30:08There's a connection between Nicholson and Osbert Page.
00:30:12I'm just...
00:30:13I'm just not seeing it yet.
00:30:14You will when you think it's straight. You need some kit.
00:30:17You need a drink.
00:30:18Do you fancy one?
00:30:20Oh, I can't.
00:30:22It's been a while.
00:30:23I'm not much company these days.
00:30:27What?
00:30:28Pick up sticks in the morning.
00:30:30There's a lot.
00:30:31I can't.
00:30:32What if I need a drink?
00:30:33I can't drink.
00:30:35I don't have any drinks anymore.
00:30:36Kill him.
00:30:37I love him.
00:30:38It's been a while.
00:30:39I have no time for the dinner party.
00:30:40To live in the party.
00:30:41I want to drink.
00:30:43I love to drink.
00:30:44I want to drink.
00:30:45I love to drink.
00:30:46I love to drink.
00:30:47I wanna drink.
00:30:48I'm here.
00:30:49I love to drink.
00:30:50I love to drink.
00:30:51I love to drink.
00:30:52I love to drink.
00:30:53All right, my two.
00:31:07Doctor? Sir?
00:31:08So what couldn't wait?
00:31:11One of the bodies recovered from the rubble.
00:31:14Male, 50s.
00:31:16Nothing to identify him.
00:31:19I have it from the fire brigade
00:31:21that his remains were found
00:31:23in what would have been the basement.
00:31:25He did not die in the collapse of Cranmer House.
00:31:29He was shot.
00:31:30Twice in the back.
00:31:32Hands bound.
00:31:33Bullets came from the same gun
00:31:34that shot George Fancy.
00:31:37Whoever this is
00:31:38has been dead for about a year,
00:31:42encased in the foundations of Cranmer House.
00:31:44We need to put a name to him.
00:31:46Have you anything to go on?
00:31:48Just what's there.
00:31:49Modern Cubs.
00:31:54Eddie Nero's old firm.
00:31:56The specs have come from Dinkley's in the High,
00:32:00according to the name in the case.
00:32:03H.B.
00:32:08What?
00:32:08We're looking into the death of Osbert Page,
00:32:12chief librarian at the Bodleian.
00:32:14He was stabbed to death there two nights ago.
00:32:16In his flat,
00:32:17there's a map of the Gower
00:32:18with the initials H.B.
00:32:20Yes, I've just had the results through from forensics.
00:32:24The muddy boot prints at the flat
00:32:26are consistent with those found at the Bodleian.
00:32:29Clay,
00:32:30limestone,
00:32:31and traces of fine sand.
00:32:35Sea sand,
00:32:36most likely,
00:32:37due to the roundness of the particles.
00:32:42So who else knows about this?
00:32:44So far,
00:32:45just us.
00:32:46Dr. Debrim was good enough
00:32:48to inform
00:32:48me and Detective Sergeant Strange first.
00:32:51I think,
00:32:52for the moment at least,
00:32:54such information
00:32:55should be contained
00:32:56amongst former city officers.
00:32:59Well,
00:33:00then we're a man's shy,
00:33:00aren't we?
00:33:02Where is Thursday?
00:33:05No one is suggesting
00:33:07Detective Inspector Thursday
00:33:08has any involvement.
00:33:10Not for a moment.
00:33:12You just need to be sure of him.
00:33:14Word on the wire is
00:33:15he's got pretty tight with Box.
00:33:16You've gotten pretty tight with the ACC.
00:33:18The ACC Bottoms' probity
00:33:20is not in question here.
00:33:21Out, is it?
00:33:37No, not tonight.
00:33:39Oh.
00:33:42I've seen someone.
00:33:46A solicitor.
00:33:51Right.
00:33:53We can't go on this way.
00:33:57Now.
00:33:58You and Sam's old roomie in ours.
00:34:00I never asked for that.
00:34:02No.
00:34:05But it's done now.
00:34:07Is it?
00:34:11I think so.
00:34:12Right.
00:34:18Doesn't have to be nasty.
00:34:21No.
00:34:25Him, is it?
00:34:27Him?
00:34:29Him up the ballroom.
00:34:30I followed you.
00:34:32No, Fred.
00:34:34It isn't him.
00:34:35It's you.
00:34:35No.
00:34:36You kicked the house.
00:34:42I don't want it
00:34:43any more than I wanted the oven
00:34:44or clothes
00:34:46or a holiday.
00:34:47Then what do you want, Winifred?
00:34:49I wanted
00:34:50my husband back,
00:34:51the man I married.
00:34:55I don't want the house
00:34:56and I don't want the money.
00:34:59God knows what you had to do
00:35:01to get it.
00:35:05It was never about the money.
00:35:08We'd been without before.
00:35:09It didn't matter.
00:35:13Never mattered.
00:35:18We had each other.
00:35:21Wow.
00:35:25Just give me what you want
00:35:26signing and I'll sign it.
00:35:29Is this Tinkley's opticians?
00:35:32Detective Sergeant Morse,
00:35:34Thames Valley.
00:35:34I dropped a pair of spectacles
00:35:36and this morning
00:35:36your receptionist said
00:35:37that she would check
00:35:38the prescription
00:35:39against any of the patients
00:35:40you have with the initials
00:35:41HB.
00:35:44Hollis...
00:35:45Binks.
00:35:50He's missed two appointments,
00:35:52I see.
00:35:53And would you have
00:35:54an address for Mr. Binks?
00:35:55Hello?
00:35:57Hello?
00:36:01Hello?
00:36:31Hello?
00:37:00I've seen Morse. He's not in his bunker.
00:37:03He left word. He's pursuing inquiries.
00:37:06What inquiries?
00:37:07I don't know. He's your dog.
00:37:09He's nobody's dog. Yours nor mine.
00:37:12I didn't mean...
00:37:13I don't care what you didn't mean. You'll treat your colleagues with respect or I'll know why.
00:37:16Look, all right. Don't bite my head off.
00:37:20I'm just saying he's...
00:37:21Saying what?
00:37:22Well, he's not one of us.
00:37:27Speaking of which...
00:37:32You're all right. We're all friends here.
00:37:37Where's it come from?
00:37:39Seeing as we're all friends.
00:37:40Why do you care?
00:37:41Say I do.
00:37:42That's just Bakshish.
00:37:46For a blind eye turned.
00:37:51It's a bit late to be under conscience, Fred.
00:37:57I don't want to spend it all at once.
00:38:16Clive Burkett.
00:38:17Counselor. Planning and Housing.
00:38:19Detective Sergeant Morse, Thames Valley.
00:38:21I'm looking for any information you could have on Hollis Binks.
00:38:24Hollis Binks?
00:38:25Um...
00:38:26Thank you, Miss Lansbury.
00:38:28He was a borough surveyor here, I believe.
00:38:30Oh, yes. Yes, he was.
00:38:32What is it you want to know about him?
00:38:34Well, what he did at the council. When he left.
00:38:36Just what his duties might have involved.
00:38:38But in connection with what? He's not in any trouble, is it?
00:38:40Oh, no, no. Just a... Just a general inquiry.
00:38:43Well, he left about a year ago, I think.
00:38:47Pretended his resignation, and that was that.
00:38:50I think he found another position in the North East.
00:38:53Well, I'd like to see her, please.
00:38:55Sorry?
00:38:57His resignation letter.
00:38:59Presumably, it's on file somewhere.
00:39:02Yeah, I know. I would have thought so, yeah.
00:39:06Actually, do you know what? This really isn't the best time,
00:39:09what with everything.
00:39:10Do you think we could catch it up later?
00:39:12Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
00:39:15Any further idea what happened at Cranmer?
00:39:17Guess.
00:39:20Well, if you do dig out Binks's resignation letter,
00:39:23then I'd like to see it.
00:39:24Of course.
00:39:31Miss Thursday? Miss Wall?
00:39:33Walls?
00:39:35What were you up to?
00:39:36I'm just looking for some information on a Hollis Binks.
00:39:38He was a borough surveyor here.
00:39:40Oh, I don't know, I'm afraid.
00:39:41I knew Hollis.
00:39:42Been here years, very thorough.
00:39:44He quit without notice, about a year ago.
00:39:46Without notice?
00:39:47Just up and left.
00:39:49Consular Burkett said that he tendered his resignation.
00:39:51First I've heard of it.
00:39:53Right.
00:39:55What's he like, Burkett?
00:39:56No more slippery than any other politician.
00:39:59You know, a lot said he'd never get martyrs' field built.
00:40:05Too expensive.
00:40:07But he proved them wrong.
00:40:08How's that?
00:40:09Put his money where his mouth is.
00:40:10Well, other people's money.
00:40:12His reputation was at stake.
00:40:15Made it part of his election pledge in 64.
00:40:19Doubled his majority.
00:40:22Right.
00:40:24Well, best crack on.
00:40:27Be in the office, Joni.
00:40:29Sergeant.
00:40:34How are you getting on at Grumhouse?
00:40:37We've got people scattered all over town.
00:40:39Bed and breakfast, Sally Army.
00:40:41You can squeeze some into undergrad digs.
00:40:43It's not ideal long term, but...
00:40:47At least they're safe and dry for the time being.
00:40:50How are things with you?
00:40:52Oh.
00:40:53One day's much the same as the next.
00:40:56I didn't mean work.
00:40:58I meant you.
00:41:00It's the same thing, isn't it?
00:41:02Have you seen your father lately?
00:41:04Not much.
00:41:06Why?
00:41:07I just wondered if he was alright.
00:41:09He hasn't seemed himself lately.
00:41:10Oh.
00:41:14Anyway.
00:41:15There it is.
00:41:16Uh.
00:41:17Oh.
00:41:27Right.
00:41:29Well, good morning, sir.
00:41:32Lunch.
00:41:34Yes, I'd be delighted.
00:41:37Of course.
00:41:41Shocking.
00:41:43Grandma House.
00:41:44Those poor people.
00:41:46Uh.
00:41:47This is about Mr. Page, is it?
00:41:50Well, partly.
00:41:51I believe you had a bit of a row with him the other week.
00:41:54About her misplaced inventory?
00:41:56Something to do with her tea garden donation, was it?
00:41:58Lost.
00:42:00Not misplaced.
00:42:02I'm somewhat at sea without it.
00:42:04Uh. Please.
00:42:06And the other part?
00:42:08You said partly?
00:42:10Yes.
00:42:12I wanted to ask you about Hollis Binks.
00:42:14I believe you knew him. Your name's in his address book.
00:42:16Yes, Hollis was a student of mine and a fellow member of the Happy Wanderers' Walking Club.
00:42:21We did the Santiago de Compostela together.
00:42:24Fine geologist.
00:42:26Did Page ever mention him?
00:42:28Uh. Not me, no.
00:42:30Why?
00:42:31Only his name was also in Binks's address book.
00:42:33Oh.
00:42:34Presumably they knew each other.
00:42:37The Gower Peninsula.
00:42:40Well, that'd be a popular place for walkers.
00:42:43For everyone.
00:42:44Holiday makers.
00:42:46Hmm.
00:42:48When was the last time you saw him, Binks?
00:42:51Oh, not for years.
00:42:53Um.
00:42:54Oh, he wrote to me.
00:42:56About a year ago.
00:42:58About Farringdon sponge gravel.
00:43:00Yes, that was it.
00:43:01What's that?
00:43:02It's part of the green sand formed in the Cretaceous.
00:43:05And what did he want to know?
00:43:06Oh, if it was found anywhere other than Wickelsham.
00:43:10Uh, it extends to Lower Coxwell and Fernand, but Wickelsham is the only place where it's quarried.
00:43:15Uh, for aggregate in the main.
00:43:18Lovely walking there if you're ever out that way.

00:51:00Any news?
00:51:22I had a dig around for this gun used on George.
00:51:28We've been looking in the wrong place.
00:51:32It was used in a wages snatch in 64 in Reading.
00:51:37Amongst the investigating officers was DS Ronnie Box.
00:51:40And we've got him.
00:51:42Well, if we're gonna move against him, he's gotta be solid.
00:51:45We're accusing him of killing a fellow police officer.
00:51:48Depending how far this goes, we get one shot.
00:51:51Skulls, Dick.
00:51:53What's that, Jim?
00:51:55Oh, er, just popped in Seymour's.
00:51:59Is that right?
00:52:01Well, you've, er, got business.
00:52:03I won't keep you.
00:52:05Sir?
00:52:13Where'd you go, Ted?
00:52:15Oh, something come up.
00:52:17Assuming inquirers, the Asjago said.
00:52:19What inquirers?
00:52:20Well, it's nothing, probably.
00:52:24The governor was asking about an unknown out of Cranmer House.
00:52:28Said you'd know about it.
00:52:30What is it?
00:52:31Something off the books.
00:52:33He said all the old Cowley firm knew about it.
00:52:38I don't.
00:52:39Moes?
00:52:40Oh, Mr. T. Gladden.
00:52:41Good afternoon.
00:52:42Yeah, it's in about half an hour.
00:52:44Very well, until then.
00:52:46It's come down from division, whatever you're about.
00:52:48They want to pass it to the yard.
00:53:01Oh, I can't help them.
00:53:02Come.
00:53:03Come.
00:53:04I can't help them.
00:53:05Come.
00:53:10It's come down from division, whatever you're about.
00:53:13They want to pass it to the yard.
00:53:15I can't help them.
00:53:17Come on, we can talk straight.
00:53:20Can we?
00:53:22Of course, this is you and me.
00:53:24It doesn't feel that way.
00:53:26In fact, it hasn't felt that way since I got to Castle Gate.
00:53:30Feels more like you and Box.
00:53:32No, it's fine.
00:53:34Things change.
00:53:35You don't owe me anything, but I don't owe him anything either.
00:53:40Certainly not loyalty.
00:53:42It's not my governor.
00:53:44Never will be.
00:53:51You know, there is a line.
00:53:53I just hope that you're on the right side of it.
00:54:05It's all there. Every penny.
00:54:10I don't get it.
00:54:12What's to get?
00:54:14I had a mad half hour. That's all. It's over.
00:54:16Have a drink.
00:54:17You're not thinking straight.
00:54:18I'm thinking straight for the first time in a long while.
00:54:25Maybe for the first time since George Fancy.
00:54:26Fancy?
00:54:27That's what's got you by the tail?
00:54:28It's nothing to do with this.
00:54:29It's everything to do with it.
00:54:30It's everything to do with it.
00:54:31He stood for something.
00:54:32I take this, I might as well piss on his grave.
00:54:35Look.
00:54:36It's not comeback.
00:54:37If that's what you're worried about.
00:54:38It's bent.
00:54:39It's bent.
00:54:40The world's bent.
00:54:41Always has been.
00:54:42We can't fix it.
00:54:43We can't fix it.
00:54:44We can't fix it.
00:54:45We can't fix it.
00:54:46We can't fix it.
00:54:47It's the last time since George Fancy.
00:54:48The last time since George Fancy.
00:54:49Fancy?
00:54:50That's what's got you by the tail?
00:54:51It's nothing to do with this.
00:54:52It's everything to do with it.
00:54:53It's everything to do with it.
00:54:55He stood for something.
00:54:56I take this, I might as well piss on his grave.
00:54:58Look.
00:54:59It's not comeback.
00:55:00If that's what you're worried about.
00:55:02It's bent.
00:55:03The world's bent.
00:55:04Always has been.
00:55:06We can't fix it.
00:55:08We can try.
00:55:09Everybody else dips their beak.
00:55:13For a sight less than us.
00:55:16Protection money?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:19We protect people.
00:55:21Every time we turn out.
00:55:22Cause it's our job.
00:55:24Not for this.
00:55:25Not for a kickback.
00:55:27Makes us no different to Eddie Nero.
00:55:29We are no different.
00:55:31There are two kinds of people, Fred.
00:55:35Those who take.
00:55:37And them that get taken.
00:55:40I know what side I'm on.
00:55:43So do I.
00:55:44I always have done.
00:55:46It slipped my mind.
00:55:49I thought I was owed.
00:55:52I was wrong.
00:55:54This job don't owe me anything.
00:55:59So I'm giving it back.
00:56:03It doesn't work like that.
00:56:04It works how I say it does.
00:56:08How you live your life is your business.
00:56:12Don't have to worry about me.
00:56:13I'm putting in for a transfer.
00:56:15I'll be out of your hair.
00:56:18I know you go.
00:56:30I was closing up the house when I came across a bundle of letters at the back of my grandfather's writing desk.
00:56:35Well, photo stats.
00:56:37The originals, I imagine, went with the rest of the bequest materials.
00:56:40To Garstang College?
00:56:41At first I thought my grandfather must have kept them for the stamp.
00:56:45They were from Oslo, from a friend there.
00:56:47But I couldn't see why he would have made copies if it was just the stamp he was interested in.
00:56:53Do you read German?
00:56:54Oh, no.
00:56:55No, I'm afraid not.
00:56:56They're about my great uncle Emil and his family.
00:56:59Emil?
00:57:00Scientist.
00:57:01Physicist.
00:57:02Physicist, sorry.
00:57:03He was part of the Meitner Hein group in Berlin, researching heavy elements.
00:57:07But with the passing of the race laws, things became impossible for him.
00:57:12No, I don't doubt it.
00:57:13Many of his colleagues fled Germany, but he was a patriot.
00:57:17Afraid his work might fall into the wrong hands, he smuggled his notebooks out of Germany to someone he met while lecturing at Oxford.
00:57:25Someone he later came to believe had betrayed him.
00:57:28Right.
00:57:29You wanted to see me, worshipful master.
00:57:34Someone's threatening the good works and reputation of this lodge.
00:57:40A man known to you.
00:57:42How's that?
00:57:43Morse, brother.
00:57:47Let us not deal falsely, eh?
00:57:50We need to check his inquiries.
00:57:53Hey, you'll be doing him a bit of good.
00:57:55If you appeal to his reason well, can't hurt your prospects done, can it, eh?
00:58:04Inspector Strange.
00:58:07Inspector?
00:58:12For those who keep their oaths, brother, all things are possible.
00:58:25The Page case.
00:58:31Miss Teagarden came across a bundle of letters.
00:58:37Well, copies of letters that she found had been given to Garstain College as part of the Teagarden bequest.
00:58:43Concerning?
00:58:45Concerning the German side of the family, the Baum Gardens.
00:58:48You remember Burroughs said that he used to go hiking on the continent before the war?
00:58:56Digging for fossils.
00:58:57That's right.
00:58:59Well, on one such trip he met and fell in love with Deborah Baumgarten.
00:59:03Jewish.
00:59:04She perished along with a family at a labour camp called Mittelbau Dora.
00:59:09Why not Mittelbau?
00:59:11V-2 Rockets.
00:59:13Her father had been a physicist before the war.
00:59:16He lectured here at Oxford where he befriended a maths undergrad at Garstain College.
00:59:22Dora.
00:59:24That's what was written up on Nicholson's Blackboard.
00:59:26Exactly.
00:59:27So according to these letters, Nicholson promised to get the Baumgardens out of Germany.
00:59:32But when they arrived at the Embassy, no one had so much as heard of them.
00:59:35Why would Nicholson betray him?
00:59:37Baumgarten came to believe that Nicholson had only ever been interested in his notebooks,
00:59:41which he'd sent before him to Oxford for safekeeping.
00:59:45And Burroughs?
00:59:46Well, twenty years later, Burroughs, who's going through the Teagarden bequest,
00:59:48finds these letters and this banknote.
00:59:51It was found by Miss Peru at the Bodleian.
00:59:52Used for currency at Camp Mittelbau Dora.
00:59:57Hmm.
00:59:58Now, I believe that Burroughs and Page had a blazing row over items that Page cleared away from the library.
01:00:04I just wonder what the significance of it is.
01:00:08Maybe this is what Burroughs was looking for in Page's flat.
01:00:11Or in Page's flat.
01:00:12Never mind!
01:00:16New York City
01:00:18War
01:00:20Year
01:00:25Geology teaches a man patience.
01:00:32All my life
01:00:33– well, the part of it which mattered – I've mourned her fate.
01:00:37mourned her fate, but to find now that it could have been avoided,
01:00:42should have been avoided, that we might have had a life together.
01:00:50Nicholson took that from me, but worse, far worse.
01:00:56He let them perish. I wanted him to pay for that.
01:01:01So he started this campaign, the things left in his cubby hole,
01:01:05the little figurine of a gullum, the word Dora chalked up on his board.
01:01:12Did Page find this middle-bowed Dora banknote of yours?
01:01:15Was he aware that you were behind this war of nerves with Nicholson?
01:01:17Is that why you killed him?
01:01:19Page? Yes, Page.
01:01:21I had nothing whatever to do with Page.
01:01:27I left that banknote in the body by accident with my list of stamps.
01:01:33As far as I was aware, it was lost.
01:01:35So you went to Page's flat looking for the banknote?
01:01:37No.
01:01:39Even if Osbert Page had found it, it wouldn't have meant anything to him.
01:01:44I freely admit the rest.
01:01:46Jasper Nicholson got nothing less than he deserved.
01:01:50But Page, that was nothing to do with me.
01:01:54We know who's been sending you these messages and all the rest of it.
01:01:58And we know why.
01:02:00They've been spoken to, you won't be getting any more.
01:02:02But I can't say as I don't feel some sympathy for who's responsible given what you did.
01:02:08What I did?
01:02:10You promised Emil Baumgarten and his family that you'd get them to safety.
01:02:14But at the last, you just left them to their fate.
01:02:17I tried to get them out.
01:02:21I did everything that was humanly possible.
01:02:24All that was in my power to do.
01:02:26But it was too late.
01:02:27And not too late to take his work for your own.
01:02:29What do you mean, his work?
01:02:31Yeah, his notebooks.
01:02:33You could at least have given the man credit for his own work.
01:02:36So that's what you think?
01:02:39Well, you must think it.
01:02:42Dr. Nicholson.
01:02:43Emil's work was flawed.
01:02:45I mean, terribly, monstrously flawed.
01:02:48As I read through his notes, it became clear to me.
01:02:52And it would have been obvious to anyone else who saw it that he had suffered some kind of breakdown.
01:03:01His mind.
01:03:05Oh, his beautiful, wonderful mind.
01:03:11All unraveling there before me on the pages.
01:03:19The anxiety and stress of his situation.
01:03:22The worry for his family.
01:03:24Well, it must have, um...
01:03:26So, uh, we'll burn to his notebooks.
01:03:30You destroyed them.
01:03:32What else should I have done?
01:03:34I had to protect him from those devils.
01:03:40They might have taken his life, but I swore to be resolved.
01:03:45That they would not take his reputation.
01:03:47He was my friend.
01:03:50And...
01:03:52I failed him.
01:03:53I...
01:03:54I...
01:03:55have carried...
01:03:56the shame of that failure.
01:03:57My failure.
01:03:58For more than 25 years.
01:03:59I...
01:04:00have carried...
01:04:01the shame of that failure.
01:04:02My failure.
01:04:03For more than 25 years.
01:04:05No, I'm a man profoundly without faith.
01:04:18I...
01:04:19I promise you not a day has gone by that I have not with utter humility...
01:04:29said the mourners could issue...
01:04:31for Emil Baumgarten and his murdered family.
01:04:35No golem, then?
01:04:40Seemingly not.
01:04:42Burrows is a rambler.
01:04:44If the muddy boot prints aren't his, whose are they?
01:04:50What's wrong?
01:04:53Nothing.
01:04:57I'll drop you at the station.
01:04:58And I'll put box in the picture.
01:05:01The Bridge of Science was built just before the outbreak.
01:05:05Look, it's Pelican.
01:05:06Look, look, look!
01:05:07I don't know, it's Pelican.
01:05:08Please, please!
01:05:09Please!
01:05:10Please!
01:05:11Please!
01:05:12Please!
01:05:13Please!
01:05:14Please!
01:05:15Please!
01:05:16Please!
01:05:17Please!
01:05:18Please!
01:05:19Please!
01:05:20Please!
01:05:21Please!
01:05:22Please!
01:05:23Please!
01:05:24Please!
01:05:25Please!
01:05:26Please!
01:05:27Please!
01:05:28Yes, yes, of course you can.
01:05:52You should have been telling me.
01:05:58What's going on?
01:06:22Well, I know you say you must be McGiffin.
01:06:24Is he running you or you running him?
01:06:28It's all right, Ronnie.
01:06:30Why don't you go and wait by the car, eh?
01:06:33I guess that answers that.
01:06:35Is he working you with his foot or what?
01:06:37You should hear him out, Fred.
01:06:43For your own sake.
01:06:45I understand you're leaving Oxford, Inspector.
01:06:54Putting him for a transfer.
01:06:56Word gets around.
01:06:58Yeah, well, that's all very lovely,
01:07:00but you need to settle your mess bill before you go.
01:07:03Your boy's sticking his beak in where it's not wanted.
01:07:07You stop him or we will.
01:07:11You don't know Morse.
01:07:16How's Charlie?
01:07:20What'd you say?
01:07:21Word is the yard's looking for your brother in connection with a long firm fraud.
01:07:25I wouldn't know about that.
01:07:27But the check with your name on us is different.
01:07:31On the other hand,
01:07:33if Morse could be persuaded to do the right thing...
01:07:41He's an idealist.
01:07:44I'm sure we all are.
01:07:45Maybe once counsellor.
01:07:48Now you're just a villain.
01:07:51Same as this two-bop Scheidhog.
01:08:00Look.
01:08:04You play fair,
01:08:05and all your troubles...
01:08:07disappear.
01:08:10The check, gone.
01:08:12Everything back to how it was.
01:08:15Just bring him out to Wicklesham tomorrow.
01:08:19Maybe between us we could talk some sense into him.
01:08:33Freight out here.
01:08:38What you got me into, you tower son.
01:08:41You can't beat him, Freight.
01:08:42I know.
01:08:44I thought it'd just be a nice little tickle in and out.
01:08:46No harm done, but...
01:08:48But once you're in...
01:08:50These boys play for keeps.
01:08:53It's you all Morse.
01:08:55I see you all Morse.
01:08:56I see you all Morse.
01:08:58Dude...
01:08:59I see you all Morse.
01:09:01Oh, my God.
01:09:31Everything all right?
01:09:35Yeah.
01:09:38I've been to see Burroughs.
01:09:40And?
01:09:41So I think I know who killed Page.
01:09:43Or who ordered it, at least,
01:09:45even if he didn't do his own dirty work.
01:09:47Drink.
01:09:47Thanks.
01:09:51Page had been looking into the disappearance
01:09:54of a fellow Rambler,
01:09:55a man called Hollis Binks.
01:09:57You remember the initials we found in his flat
01:09:59on the map on the wall?
01:10:00HB.
01:10:01Who is Binks?
01:10:02Binks was the Burroughs Surveyor.
01:10:04His body was recovered from the foundations of Cranmer House.
01:10:08Boxes unknown.
01:10:09Why wasn't I told?
01:10:11Well, I'm telling you now.
01:10:14I think Binks' death
01:10:15and Page's death
01:10:16are both related to what happened at Cranmer House.
01:10:19Cranmer House was built by McGiffin Construction
01:10:21using concrete,
01:10:23which should have contained high-quality sand
01:10:25from Four Winds Aggregate out at Wicklesham.
01:10:28But McGiffin also wants another place
01:10:30out on the Gower Coast.
01:10:31The Gower?
01:10:32That's where Page wrote HB on the map.
01:10:34I think he was adulterating the concrete
01:10:37with unwashed sea sand from the Gower Coast.
01:10:41So?
01:10:42So salt.
01:10:44Well, the sodium in the sea sand concrete mix
01:10:47would have corroded the iron rebars
01:10:49running through Cranmer House,
01:10:51weakening the entire structure.
01:10:54Concrete cancer, they call it.
01:10:55That's why the tower collapsed.
01:10:58Mm.
01:10:59I think they were using substandard material,
01:11:01charging full price
01:11:02and pocketing the difference.
01:11:05So Binks worked out
01:11:06McGiffin was running a scam?
01:11:09Yeah, him and his former boss,
01:11:11Councillor Burkitt.
01:11:13See, he'd been to see Professor Burroughs
01:11:15to talk about geology before he died.
01:11:18They killed Binks and Osbert Page.
01:11:21Well, I've got forensics
01:11:21looking into the muddy boot prints
01:11:24we found both in the library
01:11:25and at Page's flat,
01:11:26and I'm convinced
01:11:26that it's going to be the same material
01:11:28will be found at Wicklish and Macquarie.
01:11:31If Page was worried about Binks,
01:11:32why didn't he come to us
01:11:33or call him missing?
01:11:34Maybe he was afraid.
01:11:35Of what?
01:11:36Of us.
01:11:37If a senior counsellor is involved,
01:11:39then who knows how far it goes?
01:11:45Say you're right.
01:11:46People like that.
01:11:52It only goes one way.
01:11:55What are you saying?
01:11:57It's a hiding to nothing.
01:12:01You want another Blenheim Vale?
01:12:06You've got to let it drop.
01:12:09Who are you trying to protect?
01:12:10Box?
01:12:11That's what you think.
01:12:12It wasn't, but maybe I was wrong
01:12:14and everyone else is right.
01:12:15About what?
01:12:15About you.
01:12:17I thought I knew who you were,
01:12:18but this year I barely recognise you.
01:12:20You've always given me too much credit.
01:12:21I'm not what you think.
01:12:22What is going on?
01:12:23You've got to let it go.
01:12:25I can't.
01:12:25That's an order.
01:12:44Moss.
01:12:45Ah, there you are.
01:12:46It's Max.
01:12:47Late for you.
01:12:49Listen, I've just had the results through
01:12:50on your muddy boot prints.
01:12:52Ah.
01:12:53As suspected,
01:12:54consistent with material found locally at Wickelsham.
01:12:57Sorry, wait a minute.
01:13:00Can I help you?
01:13:05Doctor?
01:13:08Max?
01:13:09I'm off to bed now.
01:13:21I'm sorry.
01:13:22I'm sorry.
01:13:26I've had a mess of things.
01:13:30I love you.
01:13:32Sorry was all I wanted.
01:13:33I know.
01:13:35I love you too long to stop now.
01:13:42Should have said it sooner.
01:13:55Better late than never.
01:13:56I will know you by your smile.
01:14:01Tears are for tomorrow.
01:14:05Now
01:14:06whisper goodbye.
01:14:10Come the dawn,
01:14:12I must be going.
01:14:15But for now,
01:14:16dear,
01:14:16please don't cry.
01:14:19So via,
01:14:21don't be yours,
01:14:25Felina.
01:14:28Farewell,
01:14:29my sweet cactus rose.
01:14:34For the beautiful
01:14:36is plain
01:14:38di gueo.
01:14:41And for me,
01:14:43it's the big
01:14:45I heard the sound of her.
01:15:04Yes.
01:15:06Yes, it was just work.
01:15:10What's wrong?
01:15:11A moment's courage or a lifetime of regret.
01:15:23It's always been the choice.
01:15:41Surprised?
01:15:57You couldn't see me for bucks.
01:15:59No one's coming.
01:16:05It's how we came into the world.
01:16:06You, me, all of us.
01:16:10We're born and we die alone.
01:16:13All right, Morse?
01:16:37You picked the wrong team, brother.
01:16:42We're city men.
01:16:43First and last.
01:16:45We mind our own.
01:16:47Where's the brin?
01:16:50Alive.
01:16:51Last time I looked.
01:16:56It's all right, doctor.
01:16:57We'll have you home safe soon.
01:16:59That's not how this goes.
01:17:00You must have known that.
01:17:02You can't believe you'll get away with the murder of four police officers and a home office pathologist.
01:17:06You plan to hang the crimes on us, sir?
01:17:09Who killed Fancy?
01:17:10You or Ronnie?
01:17:12A box?
01:17:12It was his gun.
01:17:14Once.
01:17:15But he's not the son for man's work or he'd be here now.
01:17:18You stole Nero's heroin.
01:17:21It's the next big thing.
01:17:22You took over his whole business.
01:17:24The protection, the drugs, everything.
01:17:26Who better in a copper than know every filthy racket in the city?
01:17:29How many times you've seen them get away with it, Fred?
01:17:33It's a stock deck.
01:17:34The truth won't come out.
01:17:35Well, the truth would be what I put in my report.
01:17:39A falling out of corrupt coppers.
01:17:43And I settled the last man standing.
01:17:49Now.
01:17:53Yes, Jago may bear some influence over uniform and CID.
01:17:57But his writ will not run as far as traffic.
01:18:07I saw this.
01:18:09Get out.
01:18:10Get out.
01:18:11Take him.
01:18:11Let's do it over.
01:18:12Let's do it over.
01:18:13Let's do it over.
01:18:14Let's do it over.
01:18:15Let's do it over.
01:18:16Let's do it over.
01:18:16Let's do it over.
01:18:17Let's do it over.
01:18:17Let's do it over.
01:18:18Let's do it over.
01:18:18Let's do it over.
01:18:18Let's do it over.
01:18:19Let's do it over.
01:18:19Let's do it over.
01:18:20Let's do it over.
01:18:20Let's do it over.
01:18:21Let's do it over.
01:18:21Let's do it over.
01:18:22Let's do it over.
01:18:22Let's do it over.
01:18:23Let's do it over.
01:18:23Let's do it over.
01:18:24Let's do it over.
01:18:25Let's do it over.
01:18:25Let's do it over.
01:18:26Let's do it over.
01:18:27Let's do it over.
01:18:28Let's do it over.
01:18:29I don't know.
01:18:59It's over, Fred.
01:19:16It's over, Fred.
01:19:46It's just in the wrong place.
01:19:49Drug money.
01:19:53Put him down.
01:19:54Well, well, ma'am.
01:20:08Governor?
01:20:11Found some bottle at last.
01:20:12We can all still walk out of here alive.
01:20:19What?
01:20:20No, we can't.
01:20:21I couldn't let him do it.
01:20:40Who'd have thought?
01:20:53Ronnie?
01:20:56Ronnie!
01:20:57Ronnie!
01:20:57Ronnie.
01:21:05Ronnie.
01:21:11Get an ambulance.
01:21:12All right, thanks, man.
01:21:20Birkett?
01:21:22Turned Queen's.
01:21:23Put the black spot on all of them.
01:21:25He saved it for Page.
01:21:27McGiffin's Heavies on his orders.
01:21:29That was the hospital.
01:21:33Boxes 50-50.
01:21:35The report will reflect a drugs ring smashed,
01:21:38a criminal conspiracy unmasked,
01:21:41and the death of a brave detective constable finally avenged.
01:21:46An ACC bottomed?
01:21:47Is to take early retirement.
01:21:50The force cannot be judged by the behavior of a few rotten apples.
01:21:53Division have assured me there will be changes.
01:21:55For the better, I know.
01:21:56Indeed.
01:21:57Alas, I will be leaving traffic
01:22:00to assume overall command at Castle Gate.
01:22:06But with impending losses,
01:22:08I shall need a reliable detective sergeant
01:22:10if you're done with your forward planning committee.
01:22:12Sir.
01:22:13And a good man to head CID,
01:22:16acting chief inspector,
01:22:18might you be persuaded to forgo your transfer?
01:22:22Aye.
01:22:23Depends on home, sir.
01:22:25As does so much.
01:22:32More, sir.
01:22:34Sir?
01:22:38Very well.
01:22:42Carry on.
01:22:43There's, uh,
01:23:07backpands desk.
01:23:08I'll just go and begging if you want it.
01:23:10PHONE RINGS
01:23:11Castle Gate CID.
01:23:14Yes, Strang speaking.
01:23:17I've been needing a car.
01:23:20Well, I'm sure we can find you something.
01:23:25Look, this is Thursday on the blower.
01:23:27I said you're fine,
01:23:28but she doesn't sound best pleased.
01:23:31What's to know what time you're coming home?
01:23:32Tell her he'll be home shortly.
01:23:33Go on.
01:23:36I can manage.
01:23:38I know you can.
01:23:42Right then.
01:23:45Use your time in the morning.
01:23:47Morse, Thames Valley.
01:23:58Morse, Thames Valley.

01:24:26Oh, dear.
01:24:26I'm sorry.
