At the Round Table there was
one seat... kept always vacant...

4
00:00:29,075 --> 00:00:33,802
..reserved by Merlin, for the knight
destined to claim the Grail,

and heal the Wounded Land.

The seat was named
'the Siege Perilous'.

00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:25,546
and, in particular, to Alderman

00:04:19,331 --> 00:04:24,058
Following the rejection last night by leaders
in Rhodesia of a new working document,

36
00:04:24,083 --> 00:04:26,938
which was hoped might settle
the constitutional crisis,

37
00:04:26,963 --> 00:04:28,963
Mr Wilson announced in the House of
Commons

38
00:04:28,979 --> 00:04:31,402
that the Government will fulfil their
commitment

39
00:04:31,427 --> 00:04:33,850
to organising world opinion in the
United Nations

40
00:04:33,875 --> 00:04:37,306
for selective mandatory sanctions
against Rhodesia.

41
00:04:37,331 --> 00:04:40,474
To which end it is believed Mr George
Brown, the Foreign Secretary,

42
00:04:40,499 --> 00:04:42,499
will today fly to New York.

43
00:04:44,387 --> 00:04:46,954
New scarf?

44
00:04:46,979 --> 00:04:48,979
Hm?
The scarf.

45
00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:52,858
New?
Oh. Yes.

46
00:04:52,883 --> 00:04:55,594
Mm, where's that from, then?

47
00:04:55,619 --> 00:04:57,754
From Burridges, by the label.

48
00:04:57,779 --> 00:05:00,058
You're very literal.
It's a failing.

49
00:05:00,083 --> 00:05:02,218
You've never picked that.

50
00:05:02,243 --> 00:05:04,522
So... Who's the admirer?

51
00:05:04,547 --> 00:05:07,402
Don't tease, Joan.

52
00:05:07,427 --> 00:05:10,426
I think it's very nice if Morse has
found someone to take care of him.

53
00:05:10,451 --> 00:05:12,451
Step lively, then.

54
00:05:17,507 --> 00:05:19,930
Warmed the polish?
With a heated spoon, yeah.

55
00:05:19,955 --> 00:05:23,674
I'm only saying. If a job's worth
doing -I know. Look after your
shoes.

56
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:26,554
And your shoes look after you.

57
00:05:26,579 --> 00:05:27,994
Much in?

58
00:05:28,019 --> 00:05:31,450
We've an 11-year-old, Tommy Cork,
done a bunk from home.

59
00:05:31,475 --> 00:05:33,322
Davey Cork's boy? Yep.

60
00:05:33,347 --> 00:05:34,474
Figures.

61
00:05:34,499 --> 00:05:37,930
And we've a request from County to be
on the lookout for a George Aldridge.

62
00:05:37,955 --> 00:05:40,378
Absconded from Farnleigh tea-time
Saturday.

63
00:05:40,403 --> 00:05:43,834
Here you go. Home safe.
Righto.

64
00:05:43,859 --> 00:05:47,396
Saturday? He'll be long gone.
That was my thinking.

65
00:05:49,475 --> 00:05:51,475
What?
New scarf?

66
00:05:53,651 --> 00:05:55,651
Nice.

67
00:05:56,531 --> 00:05:58,531
So what's he in for, this escapee?

68
00:05:58,547 --> 00:06:01,834
Oh, breaking and entering, receiving
stolen goods, car theft.

69
00:06:01,859 --> 00:06:04,282
Got three years, due out the second
week of January.

70
00:06:04,307 --> 00:06:08,746
January? This January? Why make
a break for it with so little of
yoursentence left to go?

71
00:06:08,771 --> 00:06:10,771
That was my thought.
What's behind it?

72
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:13,642
Family troubles? Girlfriend?
No next of kin listed on his file.

73
00:06:13,667 --> 00:06:16,090
No letters or visitors, according to
the governor.

74
00:06:16,115 --> 00:06:19,834
Can't read, apparently. So... Well,
I can't see we'll come across him.

75
00:06:19,859 --> 00:06:22,648
Best look to the kiddie.
I was going to.

76
00:06:29,507 --> 00:06:31,507
Bloody place.

77
00:06:31,523 --> 00:06:32,938
It turns my guts.

78
00:06:32,963 --> 00:06:38,410
Bleach, sweat, boiled cabbage...
and everything on tick.

79
00:06:38,435 --> 00:06:41,290
Never Never Land.

80
00:06:55,427 --> 00:07:00,298
So what's behind this little jaunt? Dave take
his belt to him again? Give him a leathering?

81
00:07:00,323 --> 00:07:02,323
What does he like doing? Football?

82
00:07:02,339 --> 00:07:05,194
Putting in windows and knock-down
ginger's more Tommy's line.

83
00:07:05,219 --> 00:07:07,219
He's keen on dogs, though, yeah?

84
00:07:07,235 --> 00:07:12,682
Dave's got his canaries, but it's
no pets with the Council.

85
00:07:12,707 --> 00:07:18,010
I'm not about to go to the housing department,
Mrs Cork, but that's not canary moult.

86
00:07:18,035 --> 00:07:21,898
Brave new world, Thursday.
Sir?

87
00:07:21,923 --> 00:07:23,770
This Thames Valley business.

88
00:07:23,795 --> 00:07:28,378
I was talking to Chief Constable
Standish at the Widows And Orphans.

89
00:07:28,403 --> 00:07:31,978
Division have been very impressed
with my paper on the amalgamation.

90
00:07:32,003 --> 00:07:34,138
The one Morse wrote up, sir?

91
00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:36,730
Typed, I think you'll find,
from my prepared notes.

92
00:07:36,755 --> 00:07:38,755
Of course, sir. A figure of speech.

93
00:07:38,771 --> 00:07:42,490
At any event, I'm having lunch
this week with ACC Deare

94
00:07:42,515 --> 00:07:45,226
to go over one or two of the finer
points.

95
00:07:45,251 --> 00:07:49,673
But erm...'instrumental' is the word
bandied about quite freely.

96
00:07:51,875 --> 00:07:57,466
Merger's definitely going ahead,
then? Oh, yes. All systems go.

97
00:07:57,491 --> 00:08:01,066
Naturally, there'll be some
streamlining.

98
00:08:01,091 --> 00:08:04,378
Voluntary, for the most part.

99
00:08:04,403 --> 00:08:07,834
Yes... comes to us all, I suppose...

100
00:08:07,859 --> 00:08:10,570
..in the end.

101
00:08:10,595 --> 00:08:12,595
One way or another.

102
00:08:14,483 --> 00:08:17,136
Excuse me. I'm looking for
Tommy Cork.

103
00:08:19,235 --> 00:08:22,522
He's down by the canal.
Oh.

104
00:08:22,547 --> 00:08:24,547
Down that way.
Thank you.

105
00:08:39,683 --> 00:08:41,818
Hello?

106
00:08:41,843 --> 00:08:43,843
Anyone home?

107
00:08:51,347 --> 00:08:53,626
He said he was gonna drown them.

108
00:08:53,651 --> 00:08:57,082
Is that how you got the shiner?

109
00:08:58,835 --> 00:09:01,216
You can't stay here. You know that.

110
00:09:04,163 --> 00:09:07,018
Come on. Don't worry.

111
00:09:07,043 --> 00:09:09,043
I'll talk to the dog unit.

112
00:09:14,531 --> 00:09:17,818
Has he had anything?
Canteen's not open yet, sir.

113
00:09:17,843 --> 00:09:19,546
Here you go, then.

114
00:09:19,571 --> 00:09:22,426
Mum says I'm not to take anything
off strangers.

115
00:09:22,451 --> 00:09:24,451
We're not strangers. We're coppers.

116
00:09:24,467 --> 00:09:28,753
Go on, you're in for a treat.
It's Monday - cheese and pickle.

117
00:09:31,811 --> 00:09:34,090
Oi. What do you say?

118
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:37,546
Ah, Thursday. Good heavens,
what's this? Waifs and strays?

119
00:09:37,571 --> 00:09:40,570
Tommy Cork, sir. Young lad who's
gone missing from home.

120
00:09:40,595 --> 00:09:42,442
He's a bit nervous of us, sir.
Indeed?

121
00:09:42,467 --> 00:09:44,602
There's no need for that.

122
00:09:44,627 --> 00:09:48,346
Hasn't anyone ever told you,
the policeman is your friend?

123
00:09:48,371 --> 00:09:50,650
That's not what my dad says.
No?

124
00:09:50,675 --> 00:09:54,538
No. He says you're all bastards.

125
00:09:54,563 --> 00:09:56,563
You wanted a word, sir?

126
00:09:59,459 --> 00:10:03,178
Yes. Get him back as soon as
possible, Morse. All right?

127
00:10:03,203 --> 00:10:06,922
This is a police station,
not a creche. Yes, sir.

128
00:10:06,947 --> 00:10:08,947
See you finish your crusts.

129
00:10:24,371 --> 00:10:26,506
He ain't coming.

130
00:10:26,531 --> 00:10:28,090
Don't say that.

131
00:10:28,115 --> 00:10:32,842
I didn't say that.
You said it, you big dummy.

132
00:10:32,867 --> 00:10:34,867
He ain't coming.

133
00:10:59,897 --> 00:11:02,032
Drunk, by the smell of him.

134
00:11:02,057 --> 00:11:06,496
Trying to take a short cut and the
fast's had him. Name of Patterson,
Eric.

135
00:11:06,521 --> 00:11:11,392
No address, but he has a railway
ticket dated Saturday from Bristol.
Return.

136
00:11:11,417 --> 00:11:14,128
Dead about 36 hours.

137
00:11:14,153 --> 00:11:17,152
No obvious signs of injury.

138
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:20,032
A glancing blow to the skull
perhaps.

139
00:11:20,057 --> 00:11:22,192
Or... he fell from the train.

140
00:11:22,217 --> 00:11:25,504
He could have leant out of the
window, the door's come open...

141
00:11:25,529 --> 00:11:28,454
..and good night, Irene.

142
00:11:33,737 --> 00:11:36,448
The FME has some concerns about
your blood pressure.

143
00:11:36,473 --> 00:11:40,912
Is that all? Army medics said the same before
they sent me up the desert to meet Rommel.

144
00:11:40,937 --> 00:11:44,080
Runs in the family. He wants to see
you again in three months.

145
00:11:44,105 --> 00:11:45,952
Review the situation.

146
00:11:45,977 --> 00:11:47,977
The job takes its toll, Thursday.

147
00:11:47,993 --> 00:11:52,720
Only so many years of active service
in any of us.

148
00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:55,600
I'm good for a while yet.
Well, I hope so too.

149
00:11:55,625 --> 00:11:58,336
But one can't fight the natural way
of things.

150
00:11:58,361 --> 00:12:02,656
The old order changes.
Younger, fitter men come along.

151
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:05,968
Wisdom and experience can be put
to best use in other ways.

152
00:12:05,993 --> 00:12:07,993
Training, you mean?
Mm-hm.

153
00:12:10,025 --> 00:12:13,168
Well, I'm sure it would suit some
and good luck to them,

154
00:12:13,193 --> 00:12:16,768
but... I don't want to play at it.

155
00:12:16,793 --> 00:12:22,167
Theory's no substitute for practice. I'm
a proper copper or I'm nothing, sir.

156
00:12:27,305 --> 00:12:30,160
You don't waste much time.
What's the story?

157
00:12:30,185 --> 00:12:32,608
Ah... misadventure. Male.

158
00:12:32,633 --> 00:12:34,742
50s. Not local. Eric Patterson.

159
00:12:39,689 --> 00:12:41,248
Miss Frazil?

160
00:12:41,273 --> 00:12:44,704
'Who was he? A big noise in Fleet
Street after the war.'

161
00:12:44,729 --> 00:12:47,296
So what was he doing in Oxford?
I don't know.

162
00:12:47,321 --> 00:12:51,904
I ran into him Saturday covering the Police
Widows And Orphans at the town hall.

163
00:12:51,929 --> 00:12:53,632
How did he seem?

164
00:12:53,657 --> 00:12:58,096
He asked to meet me for a drink
yesterday, only he never turned up.

165
00:12:58,121 --> 00:13:01,264
Eric was always... unreliable.

166
00:13:01,289 --> 00:13:04,864
But I thought he might show.
He said he wanted to pick my brains.

167
00:13:04,889 --> 00:13:07,744
Did he say what about?

168
00:13:07,769 --> 00:13:12,928
Landesman Construction. Building your big
new HQ out at Kidlington, aren't they?

169
00:13:12,953 --> 00:13:15,520
If it goes through.

170
00:13:15,545 --> 00:13:17,545
When.

171
00:13:17,561 --> 00:13:22,864
I saw him bending Alderman Wintergreen's
ear for a good ten minutes.

172
00:13:22,889 --> 00:13:27,904
Well, whatever it was, doesn't
matter much to Eric now.

173
00:13:27,929 --> 00:13:33,088
Won't have the results back on his blood for a
few days, but he went with a gutful of Scotch.

174
00:13:33,113 --> 00:13:36,112
Which must have pleased his duodenal
ulcer no end.

175
00:13:36,137 --> 00:13:38,137
He wasn't in the best shape.

176
00:13:38,153 --> 00:13:42,304
Cirrhotic liver, TB scarring
to the lungs.

177
00:13:42,329 --> 00:13:44,329
The phlegm fatale.

178
00:13:45,929 --> 00:13:50,944
So what killed him? Our old friend
Mr Blunt Trauma To The Skull.

179
00:13:50,969 --> 00:13:52,969
Mr Blunt Trauma?

180
00:13:52,985 --> 00:13:58,000
I like to keep things simple...
when dealing with the police.

181
00:13:58,025 --> 00:14:01,024
So was he hit by the train?
A glancing blow if it was.

182
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:02,320
Chipped a tooth.

183
00:14:02,345 --> 00:14:05,920
Found what was left of it
in his stomach.

184
00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:07,945
How much Scotch makes a gutful?

185
00:14:07,961 --> 00:14:10,096
Imperial or metric?

186
00:14:10,121 --> 00:14:14,272
20-odd fluid ounces. The
bottle's-worth give or take.

187
00:14:14,297 --> 00:14:17,440
So more than a half bottle, then?

188
00:14:17,465 --> 00:14:19,465
Oh, yes.

189
00:14:21,929 --> 00:14:24,496
He could have got a skinful down
the pub.I suppose.

190
00:14:24,521 --> 00:14:28,096
I just can't see where he thought he might
have been going if it was a short cut.

191
00:14:28,121 --> 00:14:30,121
The state he was in, who knows?

192
00:14:30,137 --> 00:14:33,424
Anyway, I thought Dr DeBryn said he
might have jumped from the train.

193
00:14:33,449 --> 00:14:36,880
Yeah. Perhaps. But he wasn't going
home, if that was the case.

194
00:14:36,905 --> 00:14:39,184
He was found beside the up line,
not the down.

195
00:14:39,209 --> 00:14:43,072
Besides, his ticket hadn't been punched.Well,
it has now. Anything from Bristol?

196
00:14:43,097 --> 00:14:47,968
No, nothing. Lived alone, flat in the Clifton
area, I think. No other occupants listed.

197
00:14:47,993 --> 00:14:51,568
Not much more to be done, then. I may
have a word with Alderman Wintergreen.

198
00:14:51,593 --> 00:14:53,728
Why? Miss Frazil saw Patterson
talking to him

199
00:14:53,753 --> 00:14:55,888
at the Widows And Orphans on
Saturday.

200
00:14:55,913 --> 00:14:57,913
Look, er...

201
00:14:58,793 --> 00:15:02,080
You run the car back. I might
stretch my legs.

202
00:15:02,105 --> 00:15:04,384
Are you sure?
Yeah.

203
00:15:04,409 --> 00:15:07,264
Bit of a walk.

204
00:15:07,289 --> 00:15:09,289
Do me good, a bit of exercise.

205
00:15:09,305 --> 00:15:14,752
And er... don't bother picking me up in
the morning. I'll find my own way in.

206
00:15:14,777 --> 00:15:16,777
'Night.

207
00:15:38,969 --> 00:15:40,969
What?

208
00:15:42,857 --> 00:15:44,857
Nothing.

209
00:15:45,449 --> 00:15:47,728
Happy?

210
00:15:47,753 --> 00:15:49,753
Are you?

211
00:15:57,545 --> 00:15:58,960
Tommy!

212
00:15:58,985 --> 00:16:02,128
Tommy, come here! Hey! Where you do
think you're going?

213
00:16:02,153 --> 00:16:04,153
Davey! Come here!

214
00:16:04,169 --> 00:16:06,169
No! Tommy!

215
00:16:16,697 --> 00:16:19,264
I'm looking for Alderman
Wintergreen's office.

216
00:16:19,289 --> 00:16:21,856
Detective Constable Morse,
City Police.

217
00:16:21,881 --> 00:16:25,312
Patterson? No, the name
doesn't ring a bell.

218
00:16:25,337 --> 00:16:29,056
It's just um... someone said they saw you
talking to him for about ten minutes

219
00:16:29,081 --> 00:16:30,928
at the Widows And Orphans on
Saturday.

220
00:16:30,953 --> 00:16:35,392
Gerald must have spoken to a hundred
people on Saturday, didn't you, darling?

221
00:16:35,417 --> 00:16:38,992
It's possible he expressed an
interest in Landesman Construction.

222
00:16:39,017 --> 00:16:40,864
Do you remember anyone approaching
you?

223
00:16:40,889 --> 00:16:44,464
Joe Landesman's a long-time
benefactor of the Widows And Orphans.

224
00:16:44,489 --> 00:16:47,920
He was here, but I'm afraid I don't
remember your Mr...

225
00:16:47,945 --> 00:16:51,664
Eric Patterson.
What er... happened to him?

226
00:16:51,689 --> 00:16:54,832
He appears to have been hit by
a train late on Saturday evening.

227
00:16:54,857 --> 00:16:56,416
Oh, dear. Hm.

228
00:16:56,441 --> 00:17:00,304
Appears? I wouldn't have thought there to
be much doubt with something like that.

229
00:17:00,329 --> 00:17:02,608
We like to be thorough.

230
00:17:02,633 --> 00:17:06,640
Well, good luck with your investigation,
but you'll have to excuse me.

231
00:17:06,665 --> 00:17:09,952
I'm due in the chamber.
Of course. Of course.

232
00:17:09,977 --> 00:17:13,408
Mrs Wintergreen.
Not at all.

233
00:17:22,073 --> 00:17:24,784
Oh, here he is, then. What's this,
Fred, missed the alarm?

234
00:17:24,809 --> 00:17:26,656
You'll find yourself
in the late book.

235
00:17:26,681 --> 00:17:28,960
Tea, sir? Anything for you,
Mr Chard?

236
00:17:28,985 --> 00:17:31,696
No. No, you're all right.

237
00:17:31,721 --> 00:17:34,864
Peter's a good sergeant.
You treat him right.

238
00:17:34,889 --> 00:17:39,184
What brings you above ground? Didn't think
night-watch could venture out in daylight?

239
00:17:39,209 --> 00:17:42,784
Sworn to, Fred. Sworn to. It will
all come out in the wash, I'm sure.

240
00:17:42,809 --> 00:17:49,264
Well, well, if it ain't the cocky sod that made me
look a first-class chump in the strangler case.

241
00:17:49,289 --> 00:17:53,872
Did you want anything in particular, Hugh, or
did you just drop by to admire the furnishings?

242
00:17:53,897 --> 00:17:56,896
Last quarter's crime figures.
Request by Division.

243
00:17:56,921 --> 00:17:59,632
I put them in on the first of
the month, generally.

244
00:17:59,657 --> 00:18:03,088
He who pays the piper. They just
want me to cast an eye.

245
00:18:03,113 --> 00:18:07,840
Be this Thames Valley shake-up,
I expect. Winds of change.

246
00:18:07,865 --> 00:18:10,000
Who knows where the pieces will
land?

247
00:18:10,025 --> 00:18:12,880
Well, thanks for these.

248
00:18:12,905 --> 00:18:14,905
Be seeing you.

249
00:18:17,513 --> 00:18:19,792
First-class? Third-rate, more like.

250
00:18:19,817 --> 00:18:21,817
Whatever it is, you watch yourself.

251
00:18:21,833 --> 00:18:23,968
You'll be all right
as long as I'm here,

252
00:18:23,993 --> 00:18:27,856
but when it comes to vindictive,
DI Chard's in a league of his own.

253
00:18:27,881 --> 00:18:31,744
How'd you make out with the Council?
Wintergreen claims he's never met Patterson.

254
00:18:31,769 --> 00:18:34,480
But I've someone else to see
so I'll have to cry off lunch.

255
00:18:34,505 --> 00:18:36,682
Oh. Well, all right. Needs must.

256
00:18:54,089 --> 00:18:56,089
Tuesday.

257
00:19:07,913 --> 00:19:11,632
Mr Landesman? Detective Constable
Morse, City Police.

258
00:19:11,657 --> 00:19:14,224
Your office said I might find you
here.

259
00:19:14,249 --> 00:19:17,680
I assume they told you
I'd gone to lunch.

260
00:19:17,705 --> 00:19:20,560
Well, sit you down, man.
Sit you down.

261
00:19:20,585 --> 00:19:22,864
What can I get you?
Nothing, thank you.

262
00:19:22,889 --> 00:19:25,024
Thank you.
On duty, is it?

263
00:19:25,049 --> 00:19:27,472
Oh, well, I'm sure that's to be
admired.

264
00:19:27,497 --> 00:19:29,056
Let me ask you something.

265
00:19:29,081 --> 00:19:31,936
What do you think to motorway
service stations?

266
00:19:31,961 --> 00:19:34,240
That phone's going to ring in
a minute

267
00:19:34,265 --> 00:19:39,280
and I've got to decide whether to put
in for one on the M4 above Port Talbot.

268
00:19:39,305 --> 00:19:41,728
I couldn't really claim to be
an expert -

269
00:19:41,753 --> 00:19:48,064
The smart young men I pay to know such things
tell me it's the future, but I'm not so sure.

270
00:19:48,089 --> 00:19:50,089
Do you use them?

271
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:52,672
I don't have a car.
Ah.

272
00:19:52,697 --> 00:19:54,697
But if you did?

273
00:19:55,865 --> 00:19:59,872
No matter.
So... what can I do for you?

274
00:19:59,897 --> 00:20:03,472
I wanted to ask you about a
journalist called Eric Patterson.

275
00:20:03,497 --> 00:20:06,784
You may have met him at the Widows
And Orphans gala.

276
00:20:06,809 --> 00:20:12,544
Oh, I talk to a lot of journalists, but I...
don't recall one bending my ear that day.

277
00:20:14,585 --> 00:20:18,304
Ah. Uh... if there's nothing else
I can help you with...

278
00:20:18,329 --> 00:20:21,186
I'll let you get back to work.
Thank you.

279
00:20:25,097 --> 00:20:27,520
Morse! Good heavens. What are you
doing here?

280
00:20:27,545 --> 00:20:29,392
I've been to see Mr Landesman, sir.

281
00:20:29,417 --> 00:20:33,424
May I introduce Detective Constable Morse,
sir? Assistant Chief Constable Deare.

282
00:20:33,449 --> 00:20:35,584
Mr Bright and I have been discussing
his paper

283
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:38,320
on the merger between County and
surrounding forces.

284
00:20:38,345 --> 00:20:41,056
Extraordinary piece of work.

285
00:20:41,081 --> 00:20:43,792
Thames Valley a new beginning.

286
00:20:43,817 --> 00:20:45,664
And an ending.
Quite so.

287
00:20:45,689 --> 00:20:49,984
But er... no progress without change.

288
00:20:50,009 --> 00:20:52,864
Well, don't let us keep you, Morse.

289
00:20:52,889 --> 00:20:54,889
Sir, thank you. Mr Deare.

290
00:20:58,217 --> 00:21:02,656
Sharp young man. Type we could do
with more of.

291
00:21:02,681 --> 00:21:05,968
Wouldn't you say, Reg?
Yes, sir.

292
00:21:05,993 --> 00:21:10,432
That fatal on the railway, you don't remember
seeing him talking to Alderman Wintergreen

293
00:21:10,457 --> 00:21:12,457
at the Widows And Orphans, do you?

294
00:21:12,473 --> 00:21:14,473
No. Sorry, matey.

295
00:21:16,649 --> 00:21:22,960
All I managed to pick up on the bush telegraph is
that a certain DI is in for a leg up the greasy.

296
00:21:22,985 --> 00:21:26,128
I wish. No, not Thursday.

297
00:21:26,153 --> 00:21:27,712
Chard.

298
00:21:27,737 --> 00:21:29,737
DCI, if Thames Valley goes through.

299
00:21:29,753 --> 00:21:32,608
In operational control of all plain
clothes.

300
00:21:32,633 --> 00:21:36,208
Oh, the old man won't like that,
answering to the likes of Chard.

301
00:21:36,233 --> 00:21:39,520
It will put his nose right out of...

302
00:21:39,545 --> 00:21:41,680
Loose lips, Constable.

303
00:21:41,705 --> 00:21:46,144
And less of the old, if you don't
mind. Sir.

304
00:21:46,169 --> 00:21:49,168
The kid's gone AWOL again.
Tommy Cork.

305
00:21:49,193 --> 00:21:54,363
From what his mother's saying,
his old man's given him a proper
larruping.

306
00:22:08,345 --> 00:22:10,345
Tommy?

307
00:23:07,579 --> 00:23:09,714
This absconder from Farnleigh?

308
00:23:09,739 --> 00:23:11,739
Looks to be, sir.

309
00:23:30,763 --> 00:23:33,618
Do you think the Cork boy took up
with Aldridge?

310
00:23:33,643 --> 00:23:35,346
Fish and chips for two.

311
00:23:35,371 --> 00:23:38,082
They weren't here yesterday.
Nor was the transistor.

312
00:23:38,107 --> 00:23:40,242
So where is he? Why did he run away?

313
00:23:40,267 --> 00:23:44,130
Maybe he saw something of what happened
to Aldridge. Let's hope he's still alive.

314
00:23:44,155 --> 00:23:48,162
Better get down to Farnleigh, see if
there's anyone there who can shed light.

315
00:23:48,187 --> 00:23:50,754
You're wasting your time.
It's already been looked at.

316
00:23:50,779 --> 00:23:53,058
What do you mean,
it's been looked at? By who?

317
00:23:53,083 --> 00:23:56,370
Police. I took 'em for County.
When was this?

318
00:23:56,395 --> 00:23:58,818
Earlier.

319
00:23:58,843 --> 00:24:00,843
What name did they give?

320
00:24:00,859 --> 00:24:05,298
I don't remember offhand.But it
would be in the logbook, presumably?

321
00:24:05,323 --> 00:24:07,323
Yes, presumably.

322
00:24:10,075 --> 00:24:12,075
On your feet, Parker.

323
00:24:14,827 --> 00:24:17,538
What's all this about, then?
Aldridge.

324
00:24:17,563 --> 00:24:19,604
Got himself drowned.
Drowned?

325
00:24:22,027 --> 00:24:24,027
Did he own a transistor, do you know?

326
00:24:24,043 --> 00:24:27,474
Yeah, yeah, he -You should be
in the laundry, shouldn't you?

327
00:24:27,499 --> 00:24:29,499
Get to it, then.

328
00:24:39,595 --> 00:24:41,730
So...

329
00:24:41,755 --> 00:24:45,042
Where are Aldridge's things?
I told you.

330
00:24:45,067 --> 00:24:46,770
Your mob took them.

331
00:24:46,795 --> 00:24:50,946
I'd be grateful if you could check the
entry log as to who that was, exactly.

332
00:24:50,971 --> 00:24:53,488
I'll find you when I'm finished here.

333
00:25:25,819 --> 00:25:28,676
I told you...
he ain't coming.

334
00:25:31,435 --> 00:25:34,434
What kind of man was Aldridge?
Frightened.

335
00:25:34,459 --> 00:25:36,594
He woke up most nights screaming.

336
00:25:36,619 --> 00:25:39,330
Nervous type. Always fiddling with
his Roman beads.

337
00:25:39,355 --> 00:25:40,914
He was religious?

338
00:25:40,939 --> 00:25:43,938
He didn't go to chapel or bother
the Sky Pilot over much.

339
00:25:43,963 --> 00:25:46,530
It was just this thing
with his beads.

340
00:25:46,555 --> 00:25:49,122
Did he give you any indication he was
going to escape?

341
00:25:49,147 --> 00:25:53,298
I had an idea, since Wednesday.

342
00:25:53,323 --> 00:25:57,330
How's that? He liked me to read him out the
personal columns from the Oxford Mail.

343
00:25:57,355 --> 00:26:00,786
You know, 'Second-hand ironing
board, one careful owner.'

344
00:26:00,811 --> 00:26:03,522
'Tall, dark stranger would like
to meet similar.'

345
00:26:03,547 --> 00:26:06,834
Well, this one I read out,
George went white as a sheet.

346
00:26:06,859 --> 00:26:10,434
That night he had the terrors bad.
I mean, worse than I ever seen.

347
00:26:10,459 --> 00:26:12,459
Do you remember what it said?

348
00:26:12,475 --> 00:26:17,490
It was just a bunch of letters.
APA something. I don't know.

349
00:26:17,515 --> 00:26:21,810
Are you sure it was Wednesday?
Oh, positive.

350
00:26:21,835 --> 00:26:25,410
Pineapple chunks, see.
It's pineapple on a Wednesday.

351
00:26:25,435 --> 00:26:27,435
Parker!

352
00:26:27,451 --> 00:26:29,832
Running all the way, Mr Wainwright.

353
00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:45,570
My opposite number at County assures
me none of his officers have been
to Farnleigh.

354
00:26:45,595 --> 00:26:48,882
Somebody went in, sir, because
the place has been cleared.

355
00:26:48,907 --> 00:26:52,482
What makes you think they were
County men? Prison officer's
impression, sir.

356
00:26:52,507 --> 00:26:56,226
They'd have had to sign in, wouldn't
they? The signatures were illegible.

357
00:26:56,251 --> 00:27:00,978
I have to say Chief Constable
Standish is none too happy
with the perceived slur.

358
00:27:03,019 --> 00:27:08,322
Oh, sorry, sir.Assistant Chief
Constable Deare, DS Jakes.

359
00:27:08,347 --> 00:27:12,354
Peter, I believe?
You wanted something?

360
00:27:12,379 --> 00:27:14,946
It's Tommy Cork, sir. We might have
had a sighting.

361
00:27:14,971 --> 00:27:17,250
Hanging around outside
the Empire Theatre.

362
00:27:17,275 --> 00:27:22,290
A runaway, sir. Ten years old.
He may have seen the murder of this
abscondee from Farnleigh.

363
00:27:22,315 --> 00:27:24,738
Oh, I see.The sighting was very
sketchy.

364
00:27:24,763 --> 00:27:27,756
Patrol's been dispatched.
Probably nothing.

365
00:27:32,539 --> 00:27:34,674
Drowned?
Yes.

366
00:27:34,699 --> 00:27:37,266
But that doesn't explain
the rest of it.

367
00:27:37,291 --> 00:27:41,874
Contusions are consistent with his
having taken a sustained beating.

368
00:27:41,899 --> 00:27:44,610
Within an hour or so of his death.

369
00:27:44,635 --> 00:27:49,506
Somebody worked him over.
Rather comprehensively.

370
00:27:49,531 --> 00:27:53,953
Fractured ribs, ruptured spleen,
all while his hands were bound.

371
00:27:56,155 --> 00:28:01,890
Can you put a time to it? An hour
or two either side of midnight.

372
00:28:01,915 --> 00:28:07,506
A41. The A41, presumably. Not that
it comes anywhere near Oxford.

373
00:28:07,531 --> 00:28:09,531
So where's he got the coat?

374
00:28:09,547 --> 00:28:13,410
His coat? What about it?
It's not standard prison issue.

375
00:28:13,435 --> 00:28:16,146
Stolen.
Thompson and Beard. Savile Row.

376
00:28:16,171 --> 00:28:19,890
They also had a branch in The Broad,
if memory serves.

377
00:28:19,915 --> 00:28:22,092
That closed when Adam was a boy.

378
00:28:24,523 --> 00:28:28,530
What's that? A laundry tag?
Dry-cleaning more likely.

379
00:28:28,555 --> 00:28:31,208
See if you can get a local match.
Sir.

380
00:28:45,979 --> 00:28:47,979
Sir?

381
00:28:49,435 --> 00:28:53,993
What's this? The small ad in the
Mail that spooked George Aldridge.

382
00:28:56,059 --> 00:29:01,506
A41. That's the same as the tattoo
on Aldridge's arm.
Who placed the ad?

383
00:29:01,531 --> 00:29:04,674
The Mail are digging it out,
but, going through his record,

384
00:29:04,699 --> 00:29:06,834
Aldridge spent some time at
Blenheim Vale,

385
00:29:06,859 --> 00:29:08,859
a residential home for wayward boys.

386
00:29:08,875 --> 00:29:10,875
Closed in '55, when Boxgrove opened.

387
00:29:10,891 --> 00:29:13,890
The Blenheim Vale that's being
redeveloped as the new HQ?

388
00:29:13,915 --> 00:29:16,770
Miss Frazil said that journalist,
Eric Patterson,

389
00:29:16,795 --> 00:29:21,090
wanted to pick her brains about
Landesman Construction.

390
00:29:21,115 --> 00:29:24,834
Two men die within days of each other
in suspicious circumstances,

391
00:29:24,859 --> 00:29:27,648
each with a connection
to Blenheim Vale.

392
00:30:49,675 --> 00:30:51,234
Hello.

393
00:30:51,259 --> 00:30:53,259
Get away from me.

394
00:30:53,275 --> 00:30:55,275
Don't be alarmed. I'm a policeman.

395
00:30:55,291 --> 00:31:00,018
I'm Detective Constable Morse,
City Police.

396
00:31:00,043 --> 00:31:05,490
What are you doing here?
I'm just having a look around. You?

397
00:31:05,515 --> 00:31:09,378
I live about a mile through
the woods. Am I in trouble?

398
00:31:09,403 --> 00:31:11,250
Not with me.

399
00:31:11,275 --> 00:31:13,275
I know it's trespass, I just...

400
00:31:13,291 --> 00:31:16,002
It just feels more like a walk
in the woods.

401
00:31:16,027 --> 00:31:18,027
I can go, then?

402
00:31:39,931 --> 00:31:41,931
What's the word on Tommy Cork?

403
00:31:41,947 --> 00:31:44,668
Uniform are scouring the street,
but...

404
00:31:47,131 --> 00:31:51,138
Someone cleared out George Aldridge's
cell, so if it wasn't County...

405
00:31:51,163 --> 00:31:53,163
Who knows?

406
00:31:53,179 --> 00:31:57,906
When I started, the good blokes
all wore blue.

407
00:31:57,931 --> 00:32:01,218
Maybe Mr Bright's right. Time to go.

408
00:32:01,243 --> 00:32:04,962
'Streamlining', he called it,
this merger.

409
00:32:04,987 --> 00:32:08,274
They'll be looking to make way
for a bit of new blood.

410
00:32:08,299 --> 00:32:11,298
A lump sum if you go voluntary.

411
00:32:11,323 --> 00:32:13,323
Retirement?

412
00:32:14,635 --> 00:32:16,914
New station? New force?

413
00:32:16,939 --> 00:32:20,272
I'm too set in my ways to start
over. Every dog.

414
00:32:24,427 --> 00:32:26,427
I'd see you were looked to.

415
00:32:26,443 --> 00:32:30,450
Find someone to take you on, rattle
you through your Sergeant's.

416
00:32:30,475 --> 00:32:34,050
McNutt maybe? McNutt's good.

417
00:32:34,075 --> 00:32:36,075
One for the road?

418
00:32:37,675 --> 00:32:40,804
I didn't stay in Oxford to work
under McNutt.

419
00:32:59,995 --> 00:33:03,282
'They were together
in the armchair by this time

420
00:33:03,307 --> 00:33:07,890
and Wendy plied him with more
questions.'

421
00:33:07,915 --> 00:33:12,930
'If you don't live in Kensington
Gardens now...' 'Sometimes I do
still.'

422
00:33:12,955 --> 00:33:16,530
'But where do you live mostly now?'

423
00:33:16,555 --> 00:33:19,140
'With the Lost Boys.'
'Who are they?'

424
00:33:22,027 --> 00:33:26,034
'They are the children who fall out
of their perambulators

425
00:33:26,059 --> 00:33:30,498
when the nurse is looking
the other way.

426
00:33:30,523 --> 00:33:33,954
If they are not claimed
in seven days,

427
00:33:33,979 --> 00:33:38,274
they are sent far away to
the Never Land to defray expenses.'

428
00:33:38,299 --> 00:33:42,594
'I am Captain.'
'What fun it must be.'

429
00:33:42,619 --> 00:33:46,626
'Yes, ' said cunning Peter,
'but we are rather lonely.'

430
00:33:46,651 --> 00:33:50,802
'You see we have no female
companionship.'

431
00:33:50,827 --> 00:33:53,106
'Are none of the others girls?'

432
00:33:53,131 --> 00:34:00,162
'Oh, no. Girls, you know, are much
too clever to fall out of their
prams.'

433
00:34:12,139 --> 00:34:14,274
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, Angela.

434
00:34:14,299 --> 00:34:17,874
Could you check how busy my diary's
looking today? Of course.

435
00:34:17,899 --> 00:34:21,330
I've the offer of nine holes with
Joe Landesman and another pair,

436
00:34:21,355 --> 00:34:24,076
and, well, I wanted to give him
a time.

437
00:34:27,115 --> 00:34:30,546
Give you a lift?
No. Thank you.

438
00:34:30,571 --> 00:34:32,571
Have a good day.

439
00:34:32,587 --> 00:34:37,170
What is it? You weren't yourself
last night. Has something happened?

440
00:34:37,195 --> 00:34:40,194
Well, it's a few things.

441
00:34:40,219 --> 00:34:45,522
Thursday, really. He's talking about
early retirement.

442
00:34:45,547 --> 00:34:47,547
It's got me thinking.

443
00:34:47,563 --> 00:34:51,138
What if I wasn't a policeman
any more?

444
00:34:51,163 --> 00:34:53,163
What would you do instead?

445
00:34:53,179 --> 00:34:55,179
I don't know. Teacher, maybe.

446
00:34:58,363 --> 00:35:01,506
We could go abroad.
We?

447
00:35:01,531 --> 00:35:03,531
Why not? People do.

448
00:35:04,987 --> 00:35:06,834
Couples.

449
00:35:06,859 --> 00:35:08,859
I'm gonna be late.

450
00:35:15,643 --> 00:35:18,642
'Sir, I would be grateful if you
would place this advertisement

451
00:35:18,667 --> 00:35:22,386
in the appropriate section of your
newspaper on Wednesday 30th November.

452
00:35:22,411 --> 00:35:26,274
Message as follows: A.P.A.D. A41.'

453
00:35:26,299 --> 00:35:30,306
Arrived Tuesday, second post.
Paid for in cash, I'm afraid.

454
00:35:30,331 --> 00:35:32,466
No signature.But it's been franked.

455
00:35:32,491 --> 00:35:36,642
Post office should be able to tell
you who holds the franking licence.

456
00:35:36,667 --> 00:35:39,810
Is there any news on Eric?
Or of the lad Tommy Cork?

457
00:35:39,835 --> 00:35:42,834
None as yet, I'm afraid.

458
00:35:42,859 --> 00:35:45,426
Anything in the archive
on Blenheim Vale?

459
00:35:45,451 --> 00:35:49,746
Nothing that springs to mind.
It's been shut, what, ten years?11.

460
00:35:49,771 --> 00:35:54,930
There was a... What was it? Vague
recollection of a suicide a couple
of years after it closed.

461
00:35:54,955 --> 00:35:58,386
A young man hanged himself.
You wouldn't remember a name?

462
00:35:58,411 --> 00:36:00,690
I'll have a look,
send on what we've got.

463
00:36:00,715 --> 00:36:04,146
You'd probably be quicker getting on
to County. They looked at it.

464
00:36:04,171 --> 00:36:08,610
There was nothing there. I covered
the inquest. It was open and shut.
Toodle-oo.

465
00:36:08,635 --> 00:36:10,635
Thank you, Miss Frazil.

466
00:36:12,955 --> 00:36:15,954
I wonder if it's worth having another
go at Landesman.

467
00:36:15,979 --> 00:36:19,410
You already braced him over
Patterson.Yes, but not George
Aldridge.

468
00:36:19,435 --> 00:36:23,586
All right. I'm going to dig out DI
Church see if he can shed any light
on the County angle.

469
00:36:23,611 --> 00:36:28,770
Compare notes down the watering
hole. Yes, sir.

470
00:36:28,795 --> 00:36:33,810
Morse putting it about we cleared
Aldridge's cell has not won him
any friends at County.

471
00:36:33,835 --> 00:36:35,835
I can promise you.
Anything in it?

472
00:36:35,851 --> 00:36:37,851
Nothing that I've heard.

473
00:36:37,867 --> 00:36:41,442
What about Blenheim Vale?
What, the new HQ?

474
00:36:41,467 --> 00:36:45,762
Word is a few palms got nicely
greased up at the Council getting
that through.

475
00:36:45,787 --> 00:36:49,794
Like whose, for instance? Like
Wintergreen, for one.Wintergreen?

476
00:36:49,819 --> 00:36:53,826
Town Hall graft. Came in with
the Ark, didn't it?

477
00:36:53,851 --> 00:36:56,850
What about before that, when it was
a boys' school?

478
00:36:56,875 --> 00:37:01,170
It wasn't my patch then. I didn't
come across it till after it had
closed.

479
00:37:01,195 --> 00:37:05,778
I was told there was a lad hanged
himself eight or nine years back.

480
00:37:05,803 --> 00:37:07,803
Might have done.

481
00:37:07,819 --> 00:37:12,114
Couldn't have a dig around for us,
could you? Oh, I don't know, Fred.

482
00:37:12,139 --> 00:37:15,714
Some things in our game -
sleeping dogs.

483
00:37:15,739 --> 00:37:17,442
What's that mean?

484
00:37:17,467 --> 00:37:20,034
It means I'm taking a risk
even talking to you.

485
00:37:20,059 --> 00:37:21,906
Then why did you agree to meet?

486
00:37:21,931 --> 00:37:25,650
Cos there's nothing they can do
to me. I'm putting my papers in.

487
00:37:25,675 --> 00:37:28,962
This time next month, it will be
Inspector Church no longer.

488
00:37:28,987 --> 00:37:31,842
Plain old Mr Church.

489
00:37:31,867 --> 00:37:35,298
I've a feeling
I won't mind that one bit.

490
00:37:35,323 --> 00:37:37,636
It's all change, Fred. Time to go.

491
00:37:40,219 --> 00:37:44,082
If you do hear anything on
Aldridge... He's dead.

492
00:37:44,107 --> 00:37:46,242
Bury him. Forget him.

493
00:37:46,267 --> 00:37:48,267
For your own sake.

494
00:37:55,195 --> 00:37:58,194
Mr Landesman?
Detective Constable...

495
00:37:58,219 --> 00:37:59,922
Morse.

496
00:37:59,947 --> 00:38:05,250
You know Chief Constable Standish,
I take it? And Detective Inspector
Chard?

497
00:38:05,275 --> 00:38:08,130
Detective Constable,
what's this about?

498
00:38:08,155 --> 00:38:13,314
It's pursuant to an enquiry into
the murder of George Aldridge, sir.

499
00:38:13,339 --> 00:38:17,490
He's the escapee from Farnleigh
Open Prison.

500
00:38:17,515 --> 00:38:20,370
Did you know him, Mr Landesman?

501
00:38:20,395 --> 00:38:25,554
I'm afraid, as a rule, I don't seek
the society of habitual criminals.
Present company...

502
00:38:28,315 --> 00:38:32,322
He was at Blenheim Vale in the late
'40s, early '50s.

503
00:38:32,347 --> 00:38:35,634
Constable, I buy, sell and develop
properties.

504
00:38:35,659 --> 00:38:39,954
Profit and loss. That's as far as
my interest extends.

505
00:38:39,979 --> 00:38:46,866
The history of a place, who lived
there, I'm afraid that's... that's
none of my business.

506
00:38:46,891 --> 00:38:50,034
Unless there was anything else
you wanted to ask, Constable?

507
00:38:50,059 --> 00:38:53,490
No, Chief Constable Standish,
DI Chard.

508
00:38:53,515 --> 00:38:55,650
That was all, sir.

509
00:38:55,675 --> 00:38:58,962
I'm sorry to have interrupted
your game.

510
00:38:58,987 --> 00:39:01,122
Do I detect a note of rebuke?

511
00:39:01,147 --> 00:39:03,282
You want to watch that, Rupe.

512
00:39:03,307 --> 00:39:06,096
Come on, Gerry.
He's only doing his job.

513
00:39:19,736 --> 00:39:22,591
He will be back before five.

514
00:39:22,616 --> 00:39:25,471
May I give him a message?

515
00:39:25,496 --> 00:39:27,496
Thank you.

516
00:39:28,232 --> 00:39:31,807
Do excuse me, sir. Nicholas Myers,
junior clerk.

517
00:39:31,832 --> 00:39:35,551
How may I be of service? Detective
Constable Morse. City Police.

518
00:39:35,576 --> 00:39:39,583
A letter was sent from this office,
a week ago last Monday,
to the Oxford Mail.

519
00:39:39,608 --> 00:39:41,608
An advert for the personal columns.

520
00:39:41,624 --> 00:39:44,479
I was wondering if you could shed
any light on that.

521
00:39:44,504 --> 00:39:46,927
In what regard, sir?

522
00:39:46,952 --> 00:39:51,103
Well, I'm... looking to find out
who wrote the letter.

523
00:39:51,128 --> 00:39:56,287
Ah. I see. Then I regret I am unable
to be of any assistance.

524
00:39:56,312 --> 00:39:59,167
I merely post and frank.

525
00:39:59,192 --> 00:40:03,631
Correspondence is taken care of
by the partners' secretaries.

526
00:40:03,656 --> 00:40:08,095
Of course, if it relates to a
client, it would be covered by legal
confidentiality.

527
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,263
That doesn't seem to be the case.
This was a private matter.

528
00:40:11,288 --> 00:40:12,991
Oh, I see.

529
00:40:13,016 --> 00:40:18,031
Well, I can ask the partners,
of course, sir.

530
00:40:18,056 --> 00:40:19,615
Well...

531
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,905
Thank you for your assistance.
Not at all, sir.

532
00:40:25,832 --> 00:40:28,975
You wouldn't happen to know
a George Aldridge?

533
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,151
No. That's not a name with which
I'm familiar.

534
00:40:33,176 --> 00:40:35,176
Well... thank you.

535
00:40:38,504 --> 00:40:43,231
You see, Alderman, the way things
stand, we've got you rumoured to be
on a nice little earner

536
00:40:43,256 --> 00:40:46,111
for making sure things went
Landesman's way at Blenheim Vale.

537
00:40:46,136 --> 00:40:49,711
And now a journalist with an
interest in Landesman has turned up
dead,

538
00:40:49,736 --> 00:40:55,183
a journalist last seen talking to
you at the Widows And Orphans on
Saturday.

539
00:40:55,208 --> 00:40:58,639
Anything you'd like to tell me
about that?

540
00:40:58,664 --> 00:41:01,951
Well, that is one heck of a story,
I grant you.

541
00:41:01,976 --> 00:41:07,423
But, sadly, in politics, one
attracts that sort of tittle-tattle
as a matter of course.

542
00:41:07,448 --> 00:41:10,159
I'm still not exactly sure what is
being alleged.

543
00:41:10,184 --> 00:41:12,319
Well, you can see how it looks.

544
00:41:12,344 --> 00:41:17,071
In my book, a thing walks like
a duck and talks like a duck...

545
00:41:17,096 --> 00:41:19,519
You deny any impropriety?
Naturally.

546
00:41:19,544 --> 00:41:23,983
Where did you come across this
particular little gem, if you don't
mind me asking?

547
00:41:24,008 --> 00:41:26,143
I'm just off then, Mr Wintergreen.
Oh.

548
00:41:26,168 --> 00:41:28,345
Good night, Angela.
Good night.

549
00:41:32,792 --> 00:41:36,397
I am a man of considerable private
means, Inspector.

550
00:41:38,408 --> 00:41:44,143
But I'll tell you what I put a price
on far beyond rubies.

551
00:41:44,168 --> 00:41:46,015
My good name.

552
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,751
Now, you say I would put this
at risk.

553
00:41:48,776 --> 00:41:50,479
For what?

554
00:41:50,504 --> 00:41:53,503
A pocketful of change?

555
00:41:53,528 --> 00:41:55,528
Really.

556
00:42:03,896 --> 00:42:06,175
Sir. How did you make out with
Wintergreen?

557
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,199
Oh, he's a slippery customer,
but that's hardly...

558
00:42:09,224 --> 00:42:12,511
What are you doing with those? Those
should be in the exhibits desk.

559
00:42:12,536 --> 00:42:15,679
With things going missing, I thought
they'd be safer in my pocket.

560
00:42:15,704 --> 00:42:17,704
Besides, I think I've got something.
What?

561
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:20,431
Well, the beads. It's not just
a random arrangement.

562
00:42:20,456 --> 00:42:25,039
It's a code. Radioteletype,
to be specific. Morse?

563
00:42:25,064 --> 00:42:27,775
Black for dots. White for the dashes.

564
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,503
Red to mark the word breaks.

565
00:42:29,528 --> 00:42:31,951
Spells out, 'All for one,
and one for all.'

566
00:42:31,976 --> 00:42:35,119
The Three Musketeers.

567
00:42:35,144 --> 00:42:39,439
That's what the tattoo meant on
George Aldridge's arm.
A41. All for one.

568
00:42:39,464 --> 00:42:42,175
What about the rest of it?
A.P.A.D., wasn't it?

569
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,487
Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and
D'Artagnan, presumably.

570
00:42:45,512 --> 00:42:47,791
So which one was George Aldridge?

571
00:42:47,816 --> 00:42:50,383
More to the point,
who are the other three?

572
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:57,151
Hello.'Nick? It's Henry.
Meet me tonight?'

573
00:42:57,176 --> 00:42:59,176
Yes.
'See you then.'

574
00:43:09,704 --> 00:43:12,847
Where are you going?

575
00:43:12,872 --> 00:43:14,872
You know where I'm going.

576
00:43:14,888 --> 00:43:16,888
Can I come, too?

577
00:43:19,064 --> 00:43:21,064
No.

578
00:43:21,944 --> 00:43:24,937
Don't do anything
I wouldn't do!

579
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,953
Who found him? His secretary.
Mrs McGarrett.

580
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,559
Dr DeBryn.

581
00:44:06,584 --> 00:44:09,727
Good God, it's true, then.

582
00:44:09,752 --> 00:44:12,319
We were at Division when we heard.
Time?

583
00:44:12,344 --> 00:44:16,207
Some time between ten last night
and one o'clock this morning.

584
00:44:16,232 --> 00:44:18,232
Oh, Jesus.

585
00:44:18,248 --> 00:44:21,535
You all right? Yes, sir.

586
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,423
You don't look it.
Something I ate.

587
00:44:25,448 --> 00:44:29,311
Statements and particulars from
anyone who may have seen anything.

588
00:44:29,336 --> 00:44:32,911
Anyone working late. Councillors,
cleaners. Right, sir.Sir.

589
00:44:32,936 --> 00:44:35,215
'Had you worked long
for the Alderman?'

590
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:38,527
Two years.What do you make
to his wife?

591
00:44:38,552 --> 00:44:42,271
She's always been perfectly charming
towards me.

592
00:44:42,296 --> 00:44:44,296
Are there any children?
No.

593
00:44:46,616 --> 00:44:48,751
When did you see him last?

594
00:44:48,776 --> 00:44:52,207
Yesterday evening, at 5:30,
when I finished work.

595
00:44:52,232 --> 00:44:54,943
How did he seem?

596
00:44:54,968 --> 00:44:57,391
His normal self. Busy.

597
00:44:57,416 --> 00:45:00,703
Never too busy for a quick word
and a cheerio.

598
00:45:00,728 --> 00:45:04,129
And, then, after work, you went
where? Um... Home.

599
00:45:07,208 --> 00:45:11,071
Your husband will confirm that?
My father.

600
00:45:11,096 --> 00:45:14,671
We share a house together.
I'm widowed these three years.

601
00:45:14,696 --> 00:45:16,696
Oh, I'm sorry.
Thank you.

602
00:45:18,584 --> 00:45:20,584
Thank you.

603
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,160
Morse. A moment?

604
00:45:43,496 --> 00:45:46,783
This... This assertion of yours
that um...

605
00:45:46,808 --> 00:45:51,391
officers may have been in
to Farnleigh and cleared George
Aldridge's cell.

606
00:45:51,416 --> 00:45:53,839
I made some discreet enquiries
of my own.

607
00:45:53,864 --> 00:45:56,431
You think there's something untoward
at County?

608
00:45:56,456 --> 00:45:58,591
The rot goes deeper and wider
than that.

609
00:45:58,616 --> 00:46:00,616
Even to your own station.

610
00:46:00,632 --> 00:46:04,639
You've raised doubts this year
yourself, over evidence going
missing.

611
00:46:04,664 --> 00:46:06,511
Yes. I have, sir.

612
00:46:06,536 --> 00:46:09,967
There was a notebook pertaining
to the Frida Yelland case.

613
00:46:09,992 --> 00:46:14,287
And a ring, a Masonic ring, connected
to Blythe Mount, the school out at
Slepe.

614
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:16,312
Dark forces, Morse.

615
00:46:16,328 --> 00:46:18,607
Which must be dragged into
the light.

616
00:46:18,632 --> 00:46:22,063
Torn out, root and branch.

617
00:46:22,088 --> 00:46:24,088
Bad apples?

618
00:46:26,264 --> 00:46:29,119
The Commissioner's asked me to get
to the bottom of it,

619
00:46:29,144 --> 00:46:31,855
but I need two men I can trust
to do the legwork.

620
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,439
We've a chance here.

621
00:46:33,464 --> 00:46:36,319
A real chance. To clean the stables
once and for all.

622
00:46:36,344 --> 00:46:39,199
Make Thames Valley something worth
fighting for.

623
00:46:39,224 --> 00:46:42,799
Sir, do you think it's connected to
the death of Alderman Wintergreen

624
00:46:42,824 --> 00:46:44,959
or the disappearance of Tommy Cork?

625
00:46:44,984 --> 00:46:47,983
Can't say it chimes with my
intelligence, though it's possible.

626
00:46:48,008 --> 00:46:51,871
Whatever comes your way in the
Aldridge case, you report to me
and Division.

627
00:46:51,896 --> 00:46:53,896
Any time, night or day.

628
00:46:53,912 --> 00:46:56,293
We can break them. The three of us.

629
00:47:07,736 --> 00:47:10,879
Did he have any enemies
that you can think of?

630
00:47:10,904 --> 00:47:13,039
Gerry was in local government.

631
00:47:13,064 --> 00:47:16,639
Rivalries, perhaps, but nothing
to warrant something like this.

632
00:47:16,664 --> 00:47:18,799
He had a very winning personality.

633
00:47:18,824 --> 00:47:22,687
But... with the public?
There was the odd crank, of course.

634
00:47:22,712 --> 00:47:25,711
'The Green Ink Brigade',
Gerald called them.

635
00:47:25,736 --> 00:47:29,167
Though, for the most part,
people adored him.

636
00:47:29,192 --> 00:47:31,192
He played the organ, you know.

637
00:47:31,208 --> 00:47:33,208
And the piano.

638
00:47:34,232 --> 00:47:36,232
People loved to hear him.

639
00:47:36,248 --> 00:47:38,248
This... Green Ink Brigade...

640
00:47:40,136 --> 00:47:43,423
..were there ever any threats made
against him?

641
00:47:43,448 --> 00:47:46,159
Neither more nor less than his
colleagues received.

642
00:47:46,184 --> 00:47:48,031
Nonsense most of it.

643
00:47:48,056 --> 00:47:52,351
People exercised about roads or
housing.

644
00:47:52,376 --> 00:47:55,519
Did he ever mention the name
George Aldridge to you?

645
00:47:55,544 --> 00:47:58,399
It's not a name with which
I'm familiar.

646
00:47:58,424 --> 00:48:03,583
All I can tell you is my husband's
life was one lived beyond reproach.

647
00:48:03,608 --> 00:48:05,608
Why anyone would...

648
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,920
It's past fathoming.

649
00:48:15,416 --> 00:48:18,559
What do you reckon to this business
with Deare?

650
00:48:18,584 --> 00:48:22,879
Well, something rotten's happening at
County. And the Town Hall, too.

651
00:48:22,904 --> 00:48:24,904
Look, I'd better report to Bright.

652
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,063
See if you can get a statement off
Landesman and meet me here.

653
00:48:28,088 --> 00:48:30,367
Why? Do you think Landesman's
involved?

654
00:48:30,392 --> 00:48:33,967
If what Church says about
backhanders holds water, who knows?

655
00:48:33,992 --> 00:48:36,271
Maybe they had a falling out
over spoils.

656
00:48:36,296 --> 00:48:39,007
Both Wintergreen and Landesdown were
playing golf

657
00:48:39,032 --> 00:48:41,311
with DI Chard and Chief Constable
Standish.

658
00:48:41,336 --> 00:48:44,623
Deare said it went deeper and wider
than we knew.

659
00:48:44,648 --> 00:48:46,648
What if it goes higher, too?

660
00:48:46,664 --> 00:48:48,977
Then you'd better mind how you go.

661
00:48:53,432 --> 00:48:56,287
You're here about Gerry.
What happened to him?

662
00:48:56,312 --> 00:48:58,447
Beyond he was murdered, we can't say.

663
00:48:58,472 --> 00:49:00,319
You were close, I understand.

664
00:49:00,344 --> 00:49:03,487
Well, we'd certainly known
one another many years.

665
00:49:03,512 --> 00:49:05,791
Gerry was a man of exceptional
qualities.

666
00:49:05,816 --> 00:49:07,519
Such as?

667
00:49:07,544 --> 00:49:11,119
He had... Well, it's... often
overused,

668
00:49:11,144 --> 00:49:13,279
but Gerry had it.

669
00:49:13,304 --> 00:49:16,879
You know, the um... popular touch.

670
00:49:16,904 --> 00:49:18,904
He really did.

671
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,919
I can't tell you how many times
I've been with him,

672
00:49:21,944 --> 00:49:24,799
in the street or at some function
or other,

673
00:49:24,824 --> 00:49:28,399
everyone wanted to talk to Gerry.

674
00:49:28,424 --> 00:49:32,143
And he was very good with that,
very generous with his time.

675
00:49:32,168 --> 00:49:36,031
Money, too, of course.
What about enemies?

676
00:49:36,056 --> 00:49:38,479
None that come to mind.

677
00:49:38,504 --> 00:49:41,791
I'll need an account of your
whereabouts yesterday evening.

678
00:49:41,816 --> 00:49:44,815
I was working late at the office,
alone.

679
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,263
Will anyone vouch for you?

680
00:49:47,288 --> 00:49:49,601
'Alone' would seem to suggest not.

681
00:50:38,264 --> 00:50:40,264
Sir.

682
00:50:41,288 --> 00:50:44,575
Sir. There's an account in this
punishment book of an attempted arson

683
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,167
George Aldridge and five other boys
committed there.

684
00:50:47,192 --> 00:50:49,615
One of his co-accused was
Ben Topling.Who?

685
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:50,911
Him.

686
00:50:50,936 --> 00:50:55,807
It's the same that was on the wall of
Aldridge's cell.

687
00:50:55,832 --> 00:50:58,543
Shan't keep you.

688
00:50:58,568 --> 00:51:01,567
There's no rush.

689
00:51:01,592 --> 00:51:05,311
Have to say, it's very impressive.

690
00:51:05,336 --> 00:51:08,623
How do you do it?
Practise till your throat bleeds.

691
00:51:08,648 --> 00:51:12,079
I had a speech impediment at school
and the man treating me...

692
00:51:12,104 --> 00:51:14,104
Don't touch him!

693
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,983
He doesn't... Sorry. I don't mean
to be rude, but...

694
00:51:18,008 --> 00:51:20,008
the mechanism is delicate.

695
00:51:22,184 --> 00:51:24,361
Sorry. What did you want to ask?

696
00:51:28,376 --> 00:51:32,959
You attended Blenheim Vale for
several years in the early '50s.

697
00:51:32,984 --> 00:51:34,984
Is that right?

698
00:51:36,008 --> 00:51:38,431
You are Benjamin...

699
00:51:38,456 --> 00:51:41,177
Arnold Topling? Date of birth
23/06/38?

700
00:51:43,784 --> 00:51:47,071
You got the wrong man, copper!
You'll never take me alive! See?

701
00:51:47,096 --> 00:51:49,375
This is a serious investigation,
Mr Topling.

702
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,255
It's no laughing matter.
No, of course. I um...

703
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,847
Sorry. Nervous habit.

704
00:51:54,872 --> 00:51:59,599
You've got nothing to be nervous
about... unless you've done
something wrong.

705
00:51:59,624 --> 00:52:01,327
I haven't.
Liar!

706
00:52:01,352 --> 00:52:04,207
We can continue this down
the station, if you'd prefer.

707
00:52:04,232 --> 00:52:05,935
Just the three of us.
It's fine.

708
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,103
Clyde, please... Please...

709
00:52:09,128 --> 00:52:12,271
All right, already.
Not another word.

710
00:52:12,296 --> 00:52:15,151
Please, um... ask me what you like.

711
00:52:15,176 --> 00:52:17,176
My lips are sealed.

712
00:52:19,064 --> 00:52:21,064
Quiet as the grave.

713
00:52:24,824 --> 00:52:29,119
Our records show that you were at
Blenheim Vale at the same time as
George Aldridge.

714
00:52:29,144 --> 00:52:31,144
Ah... not that I remember.

715
00:52:32,888 --> 00:52:36,031
He had a poster for the show
on his wall.

716
00:52:36,056 --> 00:52:38,479
Why might that be?
What's the matter, Benny Boy?

717
00:52:38,504 --> 00:52:40,639
Cat got your t-t-t-tongue?

718
00:52:40,664 --> 00:52:43,519
Uh... it's a popular... show.

719
00:52:43,544 --> 00:52:47,983
You think that's the only reason?
I can't say.That's not good enough.

720
00:52:48,008 --> 00:52:50,008
George Aldridge was murdered

721
00:52:50,024 --> 00:52:53,311
and we've a boy missing,
who may have seen something.

722
00:52:53,336 --> 00:52:56,335
A boy? Tommy Cork.
He's ten years old.

723
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,359
If whoever did for Aldridge knows
the child was a witness,

724
00:52:59,384 --> 00:53:01,231
he could be in mortal danger.

725
00:53:01,256 --> 00:53:05,983
If you know anything at all...
I can't... say.

726
00:53:06,008 --> 00:53:08,008
Mr Topling?

727
00:53:09,608 --> 00:53:12,031
Mr Topling!
Leave him alone!

728
00:53:12,056 --> 00:53:13,903
He's telling the truth.

729
00:53:13,928 --> 00:53:16,927
He's scared for his life.
Can't you see that?

730
00:53:16,952 --> 00:53:20,383
Scared of what?
Not 'what', dummy. Who.

731
00:53:20,408 --> 00:53:25,279
There's things in that haunted maze
of a mind he can't admit.

732
00:53:25,304 --> 00:53:27,151
Not even to himself.

733
00:53:27,176 --> 00:53:30,463
When he says he can't say,
he means just that.

734
00:53:30,488 --> 00:53:32,488
He can't say.

735
00:53:35,816 --> 00:53:37,816
But I can.

736
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:44,287
If you two are on the level and you
really wanna know about Blenheim
Vale,

737
00:53:44,312 --> 00:53:46,312
ask Doc Fairbridge.

738
00:54:05,250 --> 00:54:07,961
Detective Constable Morse.
Mrs McGarrett.

739
00:54:07,986 --> 00:54:10,121
I'm sorry, madam.
There must be some mistake.

740
00:54:10,146 --> 00:54:12,857
We're looking for Dr Fairbridge.

741
00:54:12,882 --> 00:54:15,807
That'll be Dad.
Would you like to come in?

742
00:54:18,642 --> 00:54:21,641
Blenheim Vale was only on my list
for a few years.

743
00:54:21,666 --> 00:54:23,666
From...'51 to about '55.

744
00:54:25,554 --> 00:54:27,401
When it closed?

745
00:54:27,426 --> 00:54:31,289
We lived off the Woodstock Road,
adjacent to the grounds.

746
00:54:31,314 --> 00:54:35,033
What do you think he meant by,
'Ask Doc Fairbridge'?

747
00:54:35,058 --> 00:54:36,761
I've no idea.

748
00:54:36,786 --> 00:54:41,081
Truly. There's nothing to tell.
It was just a run-of-the-mill
establishment.

749
00:54:41,106 --> 00:54:43,529
I looked to any medical concerns
the boys had.

750
00:54:43,554 --> 00:54:45,257
Vaccinations and so forth.

751
00:54:45,282 --> 00:54:47,561
Mumps, measles, whooping-cough.

752
00:54:47,586 --> 00:54:52,169
And, of course, all the usual cuts,
bumps and bruises.

753
00:54:52,194 --> 00:54:55,337
Do you remember a George Aldridge?

754
00:54:55,362 --> 00:54:57,209
I'm afraid not.

755
00:54:57,234 --> 00:55:01,241
Yes, you do, Dad. He used to come
over the fence and play with us,
sometimes.

756
00:55:01,266 --> 00:55:03,266
Did he?

757
00:55:03,858 --> 00:55:05,858
I'll have to take your word for it.

758
00:55:05,874 --> 00:55:08,297
But for the life of me,
I can't picture him.

759
00:55:10,482 --> 00:55:12,482
I'm on call. Excuse me.

760
00:55:15,378 --> 00:55:18,089
I'm sure we've a photograph of him
somewhere.

761
00:55:18,114 --> 00:55:20,393
I could dig it out,
if that'd be useful.

762
00:55:20,418 --> 00:55:22,553
If it wouldn't be too much trouble.

763
00:55:22,578 --> 00:55:24,578
I can't guarantee that.

764
00:55:24,594 --> 00:55:28,267
I'll certainly let you know as soon
as I've found it.

765
00:55:33,522 --> 00:55:35,903
Thank you very much, Mrs McGarrett.

766
00:55:56,130 --> 00:55:57,977
Did you mean it? Teaching?

767
00:55:58,002 --> 00:56:00,281
Packing it all in, going abroad?

768
00:56:00,306 --> 00:56:01,721
Yes.

769
00:56:01,746 --> 00:56:07,337
It's just... you say things, and some
times you sound like you mean them,
and others, like...

770
00:56:07,362 --> 00:56:11,657
Like when I've got two, maybe three,
murders and a missing child to think
about?

771
00:56:11,682 --> 00:56:15,401
I just don't want you to think
I'm making you do anything
you don't want to.

772
00:56:15,426 --> 00:56:18,281
I know. I don't.

773
00:56:18,306 --> 00:56:21,449
You really want to leave?
Yes.

774
00:56:21,474 --> 00:56:23,474
OK. Just not on my account.

775
00:56:25,506 --> 00:56:27,506
No, I'll put my papers in, I promise.

776
00:56:27,522 --> 00:56:30,991
As soon as it's over. When the
hurly-burly's done.

777
00:56:35,586 --> 00:56:38,585
Maybe we could talk about it
tonight.

778
00:56:38,610 --> 00:56:40,025
Again?

779
00:56:40,050 --> 00:56:41,753
What's to say?

780
00:56:41,778 --> 00:56:43,778
It's done.

781
00:56:44,514 --> 00:56:46,514
Will you lock up?

782
00:56:54,594 --> 00:56:58,601
Mrs Wintergreen's turned up a pile
of letters in her husband's old
briefcase.

783
00:56:58,626 --> 00:57:01,049
This Green Ink Brigade.
Did she say what's in them?

784
00:57:01,074 --> 00:57:04,361
Mostly complaining about the sale of
Blenheim Vale to Landesman.

785
00:57:04,386 --> 00:57:07,529
Wintergreen had the casting vote on
the Council when it went through.

786
00:57:07,554 --> 00:57:09,977
I said I'd take a run up there with
Jakes. Where are you?

787
00:57:10,002 --> 00:57:13,145
Meeting Angela McGarrett for her
photograph of George Aldridge.

788
00:57:13,170 --> 00:57:16,313
Pick up sticks after lunch, then.

789
00:57:16,338 --> 00:57:19,625
Dad didn't approve of me playing
with the boys from Blenheim Vale.

790
00:57:19,650 --> 00:57:23,225
We used to sneak away into the woods
when the grown-ups weren't looking.

791
00:57:23,250 --> 00:57:26,249
Did you keep in touch with any of
them after you moved away?

792
00:57:26,274 --> 00:57:28,409
No, I hadn't thought of it in years.

793
00:57:28,434 --> 00:57:31,145
And then I bumped into Henry
last summer in the High.

794
00:57:31,170 --> 00:57:33,170
Henry Portmore.

795
00:57:33,186 --> 00:57:36,185
He's some sort of academic
at Pelham now,

796
00:57:36,210 --> 00:57:38,210
married to Hilary Spencer.

797
00:57:38,226 --> 00:57:40,226
They've a little boy.

798
00:57:40,242 --> 00:57:42,242
So there's one happy ending.

799
00:57:44,562 --> 00:57:48,281
Hilary's brother Ed had a nervous
breakdown and hanged himself...

800
00:57:48,306 --> 00:57:50,306
from a tree at Blenheim Vale.

801
00:57:53,778 --> 00:57:57,785
Ed Spencer was the first boy
I ever kissed.

802
00:57:57,810 --> 00:57:59,945
It wasn't a grown-up kiss,
of course.

803
00:57:59,970 --> 00:58:01,970
We were too young to know about
that.

804
00:58:01,986 --> 00:58:03,986
Just a peck.

805
00:58:04,002 --> 00:58:07,433
One remembers it all the same.

806
00:58:07,458 --> 00:58:11,063
Why did you tell me you didn't know
George Aldridge?

807
00:58:19,554 --> 00:58:22,841
What happened at Blenheim Vale?

808
00:58:22,866 --> 00:58:24,866
There were five... six of us.

809
00:58:24,882 --> 00:58:26,882
And Petey... Petey Williams.

810
00:58:29,202 --> 00:58:31,481
We weren't bad lads, not really.

811
00:58:31,506 --> 00:58:33,506
Just kids.

812
00:58:33,522 --> 00:58:39,545
Orphans, some of us. Others just had
a knack of getting into trouble.

813
00:58:39,570 --> 00:58:41,705
Somehow we all ended up
at Blenheim Vale.

814
00:58:41,730 --> 00:58:45,471
It was me, George, Benny, Ed, Henry
and the two Petes.

815
00:58:47,778 --> 00:58:49,778
Big Pete and Little Pete.

816
00:58:52,674 --> 00:58:54,674
We were a gang, I suppose.

817
00:58:54,690 --> 00:58:59,273
Not so much Little Pete, he was
a bit younger, but we used
to let him tag along.

818
00:58:59,298 --> 00:59:01,298
Little Pete what?

819
00:59:01,314 --> 00:59:06,041
I don't remember. He wasn't there
for very long.

820
00:59:06,066 --> 00:59:09,785
See, kids came and went.
It was tough, you know.

821
00:59:09,810 --> 00:59:12,665
Cold water, cross-country...

822
00:59:12,690 --> 00:59:16,121
But you had each other and that is
how you got through.

823
00:59:16,146 --> 00:59:20,729
Big Pete was our leader,
for want of a better word.

824
00:59:20,754 --> 00:59:22,754
Then this new bloke turned up,

825
00:59:22,770 --> 00:59:25,625
a do-gooder, had all these
new ideas.

826
00:59:25,650 --> 00:59:29,801
Put a bit of money into the place,
sports equipment and so forth.

827
00:59:29,826 --> 00:59:31,961
Set a lot of store by physical
fitness,

828
00:59:31,986 --> 00:59:34,985
improving weekends.

829
00:59:35,010 --> 00:59:37,865
We had to meet him in the car down
the end of the lane.

830
00:59:37,890 --> 00:59:43,625
He drove us somewhere, a guest
house, a hotel, whatever it was.

831
00:59:43,650 --> 00:59:46,847
Things happened there,
awful, terrible things.

832
00:59:52,434 --> 00:59:55,145
We paid him back, though.

833
00:59:55,170 --> 00:59:57,017
Or we thought we had.

834
00:59:57,042 --> 00:59:59,753
Go on, Pete.

835
00:59:59,778 --> 01:00:01,778
Go on.

836
01:00:13,602 --> 01:00:18,041
They had an idea who did it,
but they couldn't prove it.

837
01:00:18,066 --> 01:00:20,066
We all got stuck on half rations.

838
01:00:20,082 --> 01:00:24,665
Maybe somebody squealed,
but however it went...

839
01:00:24,690 --> 01:00:27,833
One weekend, Big Pete went off.

840
01:00:27,858 --> 01:00:30,713
We all knew where he'd gone,
only this time he...

841
01:00:30,738 --> 01:00:33,737
he never came back.

842
01:00:33,762 --> 01:00:35,897
They said he'd been transferred.

843
01:00:35,922 --> 01:00:39,785
You didn't try and find him?
Of course we did.

844
01:00:39,810 --> 01:00:43,673
After we left, we tried.
Nothing. No record.

845
01:00:43,698 --> 01:00:47,993
Did you go to the police?
Oh, yeah.

846
01:00:48,018 --> 01:00:50,018
We told him not to. George went.

847
01:00:50,034 --> 01:00:52,889
He spilled the whole story.
And what happened?

848
01:00:52,914 --> 01:00:55,023
They told him not to tell lies.

849
01:00:58,242 --> 01:01:02,681
Not so long after that, he started
getting into proper trouble
with the law.

850
01:01:02,706 --> 01:01:06,425
Before the last time
he was sent down...

851
01:01:06,450 --> 01:01:09,161
..the rest of us made a vow.

852
01:01:09,186 --> 01:01:12,905
If ever one of us was ever in
trouble...

853
01:01:12,930 --> 01:01:15,785
You'd put an ad in the personal
column of the Mail.

854
01:01:15,810 --> 01:01:17,369
Anyone that saw it,

855
01:01:17,394 --> 01:01:22,121
no matter where they were or what
they were doing, was honour-bound,
if they could,

856
01:01:22,146 --> 01:01:26,009
to attend a pow-wow
within the next seven days.

857
01:01:26,034 --> 01:01:29,321
So... why did you place the ad now?

858
01:01:29,346 --> 01:01:32,777
A couple of weeks back...

859
01:01:32,802 --> 01:01:35,513
..this journalist comes by,
out of the blue.

860
01:01:35,538 --> 01:01:39,113
A bloke called Patterson,
Eric Patterson.

861
01:01:39,138 --> 01:01:42,569
He'd heard rumours about what went
on out at Blenheim Vale.

862
01:01:42,594 --> 01:01:46,025
He said he'd been looking into it
for a while.

863
01:01:46,050 --> 01:01:48,185
What did you tell him?
Nothing.

864
01:01:48,210 --> 01:01:50,210
I told him I couldn't help him.

865
01:01:50,226 --> 01:01:54,377
I put it out of my mind or tried to.

866
01:01:54,402 --> 01:01:56,402
And then I got a visit.

867
01:01:56,418 --> 01:01:57,977
From whom?

868
01:01:58,002 --> 01:02:00,002
Your lot, asking after Patterson.

869
01:02:00,018 --> 01:02:03,017
So I denied any knowledge.

870
01:02:03,042 --> 01:02:07,913
And they said if he did come by,
I should let them know.

871
01:02:07,938 --> 01:02:09,938
I didn't know what to do.

872
01:02:09,954 --> 01:02:13,673
So you put an ad in the Mail?

873
01:02:13,698 --> 01:02:16,351
Who was he, this governor at
Blenheim?

874
01:02:18,594 --> 01:02:23,152
Gerry certainly was a governor at
Blenheim Vale, that's no secret.

875
01:02:25,362 --> 01:02:29,369
But the rest of this revolting
slander...

876
01:02:29,394 --> 01:02:36,713
My husband is murdered and you have
the gall to come into my home with
such filth?

877
01:02:36,738 --> 01:02:44,201
Gerry's life was dedicated to the
service of those less fortunate
than himself.

878
01:02:44,226 --> 01:02:50,249
In particular, the young, who
perhaps didn't enjoy the same kind
of advantages.

879
01:02:50,274 --> 01:02:54,220
I have to say, I'm surprised
you were so easily taken in.

880
01:03:00,210 --> 01:03:04,073
Dr Portmore? Detective Constable
Morse, City Police.

881
01:03:04,098 --> 01:03:08,537
My brother couldn't cope with what
happened to him at Blenheim Vale.

882
01:03:08,562 --> 01:03:11,561
A depression, the coroner ruled.

883
01:03:11,586 --> 01:03:15,449
The police looked into it,
of course, but...

884
01:03:15,474 --> 01:03:18,905
..no suspicious circumstances.

885
01:03:18,930 --> 01:03:24,233
It was all I could do not to laugh
in their faces.

886
01:03:24,258 --> 01:03:29,273
Just out of interest, where were you
both the night Alderman Wintergreen
was killed?

887
01:03:29,298 --> 01:03:33,449
We were with Nick and Ben,
at Nick's place.

888
01:03:33,474 --> 01:03:35,474
How is she, Angela?

889
01:03:35,490 --> 01:03:38,489
Henry last saw her in town,
not long after her divorce.

890
01:03:38,514 --> 01:03:40,649
She was in quite a bad way then.

891
01:03:40,674 --> 01:03:43,817
Divorce? She gave me to understand
that she'd been widowed.

892
01:03:43,842 --> 01:03:45,842
Perhaps that's easier to say.

893
01:03:45,858 --> 01:03:47,705
It wasn't a happy marriage.

894
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:53,609
Poor girl. Growing up here, it's
a wonder she can function at all.

895
01:03:53,634 --> 01:03:55,769
This was Dr Fairbridge's house?

896
01:03:55,794 --> 01:03:57,929
'Sanctuary', we called it.

897
01:03:57,954 --> 01:04:01,673
He was the only adult that showed us
a little bit of kindness.

898
01:04:01,698 --> 01:04:03,545
Forgive me, but...

899
01:04:03,570 --> 01:04:07,145
given what happened to
your brother...

900
01:04:07,170 --> 01:04:11,932
..I'd have thought this would be
the last place you'd choose to live.

901
01:04:14,370 --> 01:04:17,513
I managed to convince the college
to finance a dig here,

902
01:04:17,538 --> 01:04:21,113
ostensibly to look for
a Neolithic barrow.

903
01:04:21,138 --> 01:04:24,137
But that's not what you were
looking for? No.

904
01:04:24,162 --> 01:04:25,865
What, then?

905
01:04:25,890 --> 01:04:29,033
I think you probably know.

906
01:04:29,058 --> 01:04:31,193
I'd been working here
about six weeks.

907
01:04:31,218 --> 01:04:35,657
Late one Friday afternoon, I get
a visit from the local bobby
asking what we're up to.

908
01:04:35,682 --> 01:04:38,969
Monday morning, I get a message in
my pigeon hole from the bursar.

909
01:04:38,994 --> 01:04:41,561
Funding's been withdrawn
and the dig shut down.

910
01:04:41,586 --> 01:04:44,441
Did they give a reason why?
None that satisfied.

911
01:04:44,466 --> 01:04:49,337
I've got an appeal in but it's not
expected to come to anything.

912
01:04:49,362 --> 01:04:51,785
Do you think Peter Williams is buried
here?

913
01:04:51,810 --> 01:04:53,945
He's here...

914
01:04:53,970 --> 01:04:55,970
somewhere, I...

915
01:04:55,986 --> 01:04:58,985
And I intend to find him.

916
01:04:59,010 --> 01:05:01,255
I owe him that. He was my friend.

917
01:05:04,626 --> 01:05:07,913
In regard of these sordid and
disgusting accusations,

918
01:05:07,938 --> 01:05:11,369
no further approaches will be made
to Mrs Wintergreen.

919
01:05:11,394 --> 01:05:14,681
Peter Williams, a young boy,
may have been murdered, sir.

920
01:05:14,706 --> 01:05:17,417
Oh, indeed? Who says so?

921
01:05:17,442 --> 01:05:23,033
My wife happens to sit on the Widows
And Orphans steering committee with
Hazel Wintergreen.

922
01:05:23,058 --> 01:05:25,058
Oh, well...
Yes, 'Oh, well'!

923
01:05:25,074 --> 01:05:27,209
I appreciate such hateful grubbiness

924
01:05:27,234 --> 01:05:30,377
may accord with your 'four legs
good' view of the world.

925
01:05:30,402 --> 01:05:32,105
But it does not make it so.

926
01:05:32,130 --> 01:05:34,985
It does not make it a fact.
It does not make it true.

927
01:05:35,010 --> 01:05:37,010
It is fishy, though, sir.

928
01:05:37,026 --> 01:05:42,185
Landesman acquires Blenheim Vale
and, the next thing, Dr Portman's
dig gets shut down.

929
01:05:42,210 --> 01:05:45,353
We've three men alleging Wintergreen
interfered with them, sir.

930
01:05:45,378 --> 01:05:48,521
There is nothing in that. Blenheim
Vale was looked at in the early
'50s.

931
01:05:48,546 --> 01:05:52,409
Looked at by whom? Assistant Chief
Constable Deare amongst others.

932
01:05:52,434 --> 01:05:55,289
The investigation concluded nothing
went on there

933
01:05:55,314 --> 01:05:58,745
that could not be found occurring in
any minor public school.

934
01:05:58,770 --> 01:06:05,801
Anything more is just the wild and
spiteful imaginings of a group of
former delinquents.

935
01:06:05,826 --> 01:06:07,673
They're not lying.

936
01:06:07,698 --> 01:06:11,273
Better run it past Deare, see if
it fits with anything he knows.

937
01:06:11,298 --> 01:06:13,298
Come by the house when you're done.

938
01:06:13,314 --> 01:06:15,314
Walls have ears.

939
01:06:17,634 --> 01:06:19,634
Chard?

940
01:06:21,522 --> 01:06:25,876
I wouldn't trust anyone in this nick
further than I could spit.

941
01:06:40,582 --> 01:06:43,915
All right, then, Tom,
where have you been, then?

942
01:06:56,854 --> 01:06:58,413
Tommy!

943
01:06:58,438 --> 01:07:00,438
Tom!

944
01:07:02,182 --> 01:07:07,197
These three friends of George
Aldridge. Where were they the night
Wintergreen died?

945
01:07:07,222 --> 01:07:09,645
Together - the three men and Hilary.

946
01:07:09,670 --> 01:07:11,949
Would they talk now, go on record?

947
01:07:11,974 --> 01:07:15,549
I'd like to speak with them,
rectify my mistake.

948
01:07:15,574 --> 01:07:19,869
With their testimony, we could
nail... who knows how many of
the bastards.

949
01:07:19,894 --> 01:07:22,173
I don't know. I could ask.

950
01:07:22,198 --> 01:07:24,198
If you could.

951
01:07:26,230 --> 01:07:28,077
Don't lose heart.

952
01:07:28,102 --> 01:07:30,102
We're close, Morse.

953
01:07:30,118 --> 01:07:32,431
We're close. The net's tightening.

954
01:07:53,590 --> 01:07:55,590
Whoa!

955
01:08:03,814 --> 01:08:06,237
So what's Deare's take?
Same as mine.

956
01:08:06,262 --> 01:08:09,405
It all starts with the journalist,
Patterson.

957
01:08:09,430 --> 01:08:11,997
Joan? Come away now.

958
01:08:12,022 --> 01:08:15,597
Somewhere on his travels,
in some pub or bar,

959
01:08:15,622 --> 01:08:20,493
he runs into a young man with a story
to tell, a victim of Wintergreen or
Landesman.

960
01:08:20,518 --> 01:08:25,677
Or both. Whichever it is, Blenheim
Vale gets mentioned, along with one
or two of the boys.

961
01:08:25,702 --> 01:08:29,277
Now, Patterson is a newspaperman
to his boots.

962
01:08:29,302 --> 01:08:32,157
So he approaches some of the boys.

963
01:08:32,182 --> 01:08:34,317
He comes to Oxford, but no-one wants
to talk.

964
01:08:34,342 --> 01:08:40,077
But he's persistent to the point
where Nicholas Myers panics
and sends out the Twilight Bark,

965
01:08:40,102 --> 01:08:45,816
the emergency SOS to his fellow
musketeers, calling them for
an emergency pow-wow.

966
01:08:49,174 --> 01:08:51,885
But George Aldridge is still banged
up in Farnleigh.

967
01:08:51,910 --> 01:08:54,477
And it takes him till Saturday to go
over the wall.

968
01:08:54,502 --> 01:08:57,789
At which point, Patterson's already
decided to take a different tack.

969
01:08:57,814 --> 01:09:01,677
He's this hard-bitten Fleet Street
hack, who's run with criminals and
gangsters.

970
01:09:01,702 --> 01:09:06,285
Why be scared of some Council
placeman and the director of
a construction company?

971
01:09:06,310 --> 01:09:11,469
He approaches Wintergreen and
Landesman.Only he reckoned without
their connections to the police.

972
01:09:11,494 --> 01:09:13,341
And, unfortunately for him,

973
01:09:13,366 --> 01:09:18,093
he chooses the same Saturday that
Aldridge decides to go on the run
from Farnleigh.

974
01:09:18,118 --> 01:09:22,125
When Landesman and Wintergreen find
out that Aldridge has gone AWOL,

975
01:09:22,150 --> 01:09:27,021
they assume that he escaped in order
to spill his guts to Patterson about
Blenheim Vale.

976
01:09:27,046 --> 01:09:30,621
They were afraid that all of the
terrible things that they'd done

977
01:09:30,646 --> 01:09:32,646
and had, no doubt, continued to do

978
01:09:32,662 --> 01:09:35,085
were finally to be dragged into
the light.

979
01:09:35,110 --> 01:09:37,110
So they took steps.

980
01:09:38,422 --> 01:09:41,709
Drink it all up. That's a good boy.

981
01:09:41,734 --> 01:09:44,877
Bad apples, Morse.
Every barrel's got 'em.

982
01:09:44,902 --> 01:09:48,439
The same 'bad apples' that did for
George Aldridge.

983
01:09:51,814 --> 01:09:57,549
And Tommy Cork saw them.
That's why they were after him.

984
01:09:57,574 --> 01:09:59,277
But who's involved?

985
01:09:59,302 --> 01:10:03,021
Which officers and from where?

986
01:10:03,046 --> 01:10:07,341
The same as cleared out Aldridge's
cell, presumably. What was all that
about?

987
01:10:07,366 --> 01:10:11,373
Anything which might point the finger
at Wintergreen and Landesman.

988
01:10:11,398 --> 01:10:16,269
Hm. Only, they overlooked the
playbill on the wall which led us
to Benny Topling.

989
01:10:18,310 --> 01:10:22,173
I think Patterson had intended to see
Topling, he had a theatre ticket.

990
01:10:22,198 --> 01:10:25,053
But obviously Landesman's goons got
to him first.

991
01:10:25,078 --> 01:10:26,925
So who killed Wintergreen?

992
01:10:26,950 --> 01:10:28,950
Constable Strange, Dad.
Oh.

993
01:10:28,966 --> 01:10:30,966
Come through.

994
01:10:30,982 --> 01:10:33,837
Evening, sir.
What's this, house calls?

995
01:10:33,862 --> 01:10:35,709
Take the weight. I'll get a brew on.

996
01:10:35,734 --> 01:10:38,157
Thank you, sir. Morse.

997
01:10:38,182 --> 01:10:39,741
Hello, mate.

998
01:10:39,766 --> 01:10:42,765
Couldn't get the kettle on, could
you, love? One of the lads.

999
01:10:42,790 --> 01:10:45,357
I can see that. What happened to
the hallstand?

1000
01:10:45,382 --> 01:10:48,813
I thought that was where work
stopped.

1001
01:10:48,838 --> 01:10:52,989
I only caught half a glimpse,
but it was definitely Tommy Cork,
no question.

1002
01:10:53,014 --> 01:10:54,861
Registration?
That's just it.

1003
01:10:54,886 --> 01:10:56,445
Only the first part.

1004
01:10:56,470 --> 01:11:00,189
It matches a number of unmarked cars
used by County.

1005
01:11:00,214 --> 01:11:05,949
I rang through, but they're showing
no record of any of their units
having lifted him.

1006
01:11:05,974 --> 01:11:09,981
I just... I just thought
you should know.

1007
01:11:10,006 --> 01:11:12,717
You'd better talk to Deare.

1008
01:11:12,742 --> 01:11:14,742
Sir.

1009
01:11:18,358 --> 01:11:21,501
A telephone call for you, sir.

1010
01:11:21,526 --> 01:11:23,805
Would you excuse me, Reggie?
Yes, yes.

1011
01:11:23,830 --> 01:11:25,830
Of course.

1012
01:11:27,142 --> 01:11:29,142
Reginald.

1013
01:11:30,598 --> 01:11:32,639
This came for you.
Thank you.

1014
01:11:36,646 --> 01:11:37,917
'Hello?'

1015
01:11:37,942 --> 01:11:39,645
Hello, sir.

1016
01:11:39,670 --> 01:11:42,813
Morse, thank God. I've been trying
to reach you.'It's about the boy.'

1017
01:11:42,838 --> 01:11:44,685
Tommy Cork?
'Yes.'

1018
01:11:44,710 --> 01:11:46,557
Don't worry. We know where he is.

1019
01:11:46,582 --> 01:11:49,149
'But he'll only come across to you.'
Yes, sir.

1020
01:11:49,174 --> 01:11:52,317
I need you to meet me straightaway.

1021
01:11:52,342 --> 01:11:55,403
Where? When?
'Get a pen and take this down.'

1022
01:12:18,694 --> 01:12:20,253
Hello?

1023
01:12:20,278 --> 01:12:22,278
Who's calling?

1024
01:12:23,302 --> 01:12:26,157
I'll just get him for you.

1025
01:12:26,182 --> 01:12:28,182
Dad, it's a Mr Deare for you.

1026
01:13:07,510 --> 01:13:09,510
Urgh!

1027
01:13:24,070 --> 01:13:25,485
Yes.

1028
01:13:25,510 --> 01:13:27,510
Yes, I understand, but...

1029
01:13:27,526 --> 01:13:30,093
There has to be some other way.

1030
01:13:30,118 --> 01:13:32,685
I've done enough. I can't...

1031
01:13:32,710 --> 01:13:36,285
For the love of God, he's a child!

1032
01:13:36,310 --> 01:13:39,165
I'm a doctor!

1033
01:13:39,190 --> 01:13:41,190
All right, all right.

1034
01:13:41,206 --> 01:13:43,206
Where is he?

1035
01:13:43,222 --> 01:13:45,222
All right, I'll meet you there!

1036
01:13:45,238 --> 01:13:46,941
Meet who?

1037
01:13:46,966 --> 01:13:48,381
Where?

1038
01:13:48,406 --> 01:13:49,965
What child?

1039
01:13:49,990 --> 01:13:53,277
Angela...
It wasn't just a bad dream.

1040
01:13:53,302 --> 01:13:55,302
Was it?

1041
01:14:03,814 --> 01:14:05,661
All well, Clive?

1042
01:14:05,686 --> 01:14:08,397
Actually, sir, it's Detective
Constable Morse.

1043
01:14:08,422 --> 01:14:11,959
You better take a seat,
it's quite a story. Brandy?

1044
01:14:15,766 --> 01:14:17,325
Where's Thursday?

1045
01:14:17,350 --> 01:14:19,197
What do you mean, where is he?

1046
01:14:19,222 --> 01:14:24,669
He left a message with the duty log
saying he was meeting you at
Blenheim Vale.

1047
01:14:24,694 --> 01:14:28,989
I need you to get every man you can
trust over there now.

1048
01:14:29,014 --> 01:14:31,014
City boys only. Understand?

1049
01:14:31,030 --> 01:14:33,453
No can do, matey.

1050
01:14:33,478 --> 01:14:35,325
Orders.
Orders?

1051
01:14:35,350 --> 01:14:37,485
What orders, from where?

1052
01:14:37,510 --> 01:14:41,805
We've been told if anything comes
through from out that way,
we're not to respond.

1053
01:14:41,830 --> 01:14:44,685
Some County operation.
It's come from ACC Deare.

1054
01:14:44,710 --> 01:14:46,710
I see.

1055
01:14:53,782 --> 01:14:55,485
What's that?

1056
01:14:55,510 --> 01:14:59,373
If it all goes wrong, maybe
everything, Deare, Chard,
it's all in there.

1057
01:14:59,398 --> 01:15:01,533
I told you one day you'd have
to choose.

1058
01:15:01,558 --> 01:15:03,558
Today's that day.

1059
01:15:07,462 --> 01:15:12,360
If you do nothing else, find Bright
and tell him Thursday's in trouble.

1060
01:15:18,694 --> 01:15:21,117
I need your help.

1061
01:15:21,142 --> 01:15:24,717
Thursday's out at Blenheim Vale.
I've the car outside. Come on.

1062
01:15:24,742 --> 01:15:26,742
Blenheim Vale?

1063
01:15:27,910 --> 01:15:29,910
I can't.

1064
01:15:35,398 --> 01:15:37,398
Little Pete?

1065
01:15:38,566 --> 01:15:42,285
Myers couldn't remember
your last name.

1066
01:15:42,310 --> 01:15:44,589
Were you there?

1067
01:15:44,614 --> 01:15:48,045
To some of us bastards,
it's more than just a name.

1068
01:15:48,070 --> 01:15:52,509
You don't think about something
for long enough, you think you've
forgotten.

1069
01:15:52,534 --> 01:15:54,669
Then one day, somebody comes
along...

1070
01:15:54,694 --> 01:15:56,694
Deare?

1071
01:15:57,286 --> 01:15:59,853
There were four of them.

1072
01:15:59,878 --> 01:16:03,453
Deare, he was just a copper then.

1073
01:16:03,478 --> 01:16:06,189
Josiah Landesman...

1074
01:16:06,214 --> 01:16:09,933
..the new governor, Wintergreen...

1075
01:16:09,958 --> 01:16:12,669
..and Doc Fairbridge.

1076
01:16:12,694 --> 01:16:14,109
Dr Fairbridge?

1077
01:16:14,134 --> 01:16:16,557
He knew what was going on
and did nothing to stop it.

1078
01:16:16,582 --> 01:16:18,582
He covered up for them when they
went too far.

1079
01:16:18,598 --> 01:16:21,021
One name.

1080
01:16:21,046 --> 01:16:23,046
Last chance.

1081
01:16:23,062 --> 01:16:25,917
What about Standish? Was he involved?

1082
01:16:25,942 --> 01:16:27,213
No.

1083
01:16:27,238 --> 01:16:29,949
It was just the four of them.

1084
01:16:29,974 --> 01:16:32,627
I ran that dry-cleaning tag
to ground.

1085
01:16:35,158 --> 01:16:38,733
The coat belonged to the doc.

1086
01:16:38,758 --> 01:16:42,189
George Aldridge went to him and he
betrayed George Aldridge to his
death.

1087
01:16:42,214 --> 01:16:45,645
He always was a two-faced bastard.
The other lads couldn't see it.

1088
01:16:45,670 --> 01:16:48,381
Only me. Fairbridge was one of them
all right.

1089
01:16:48,406 --> 01:16:50,973
Did Angela have any idea
what was going on?

1090
01:16:50,998 --> 01:16:53,997
More than an idea, I think.

1091
01:16:54,022 --> 01:16:57,453
Some of them... it wasn't just
the lads.

1092
01:16:57,478 --> 01:17:00,189
You just had to be young.

1093
01:17:00,214 --> 01:17:02,214
See...

1094
01:17:03,238 --> 01:17:05,373
They wanted a name...

1095
01:17:05,398 --> 01:17:09,261
for whoever had burnt out
Wintergreen's car.

1096
01:17:09,286 --> 01:17:12,415
They knew who it was,
but they wanted a name.

1097
01:17:24,406 --> 01:17:26,253
So I told 'em.

1098
01:17:26,278 --> 01:17:28,278
I tried not to.

1099
01:17:31,318 --> 01:17:34,719
Look, we have a chance to bury them.
All of them.

1100
01:17:36,790 --> 01:17:39,213
Come on.

1101
01:17:39,238 --> 01:17:42,571
I can't. I'm sorry, but I can't.

1102
01:18:13,815 --> 01:18:15,518
That could have been nasty.

1103
01:18:15,543 --> 01:18:18,974
Sir, it's a setup.
I figured as much.

1104
01:18:18,999 --> 01:18:21,278
I don't usually pack this
for a friendly chat.

1105
01:18:21,303 --> 01:18:23,303
But you came anyway?

1106
01:18:25,335 --> 01:18:28,046
It's always been about the boy.

1107
01:18:28,071 --> 01:18:31,502
If there was any chance to get him
back, however small...

1108
01:18:31,527 --> 01:18:34,670
You'd have done the same.

1109
01:18:34,695 --> 01:18:37,982
So who are we expecting?
It's Deare.

1110
01:18:38,007 --> 01:18:41,150
Just Deare? Deare arranged a small
reception just for me.

1111
01:18:41,175 --> 01:18:44,462
Said he had Tommy, but the kid would
only come across if I was there.

1112
01:18:44,487 --> 01:18:47,198
Chard tried to kill me.

1113
01:18:47,223 --> 01:18:50,942
Landesman? No. He's not the type
to get his hands dirty.

1114
01:18:50,967 --> 01:18:53,390
Why would he when he's got Deare
there?

1115
01:18:53,415 --> 01:18:56,846
The only thing I can't work out is
why they killed Wintergreen.

1116
01:18:56,871 --> 01:18:59,150
They didn't.

1117
01:18:59,175 --> 01:19:01,454
It was someone else.

1118
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:08,222
Wintergreen's appetites extended
beyond just the boys of
Blenheim Vale.

1119
01:19:08,247 --> 01:19:10,526
The mind plays tricks, I suppose.

1120
01:19:10,551 --> 01:19:13,118
Does what it can to forget.

1121
01:19:13,143 --> 01:19:17,006
Perhaps Angela told herself that it
was all in her imagination.

1122
01:19:17,031 --> 01:19:20,364
Something I'm sure her father
encouraged in her.

1123
01:19:22,503 --> 01:19:27,877
In any event, something triggered
the recollection with... fatal
consequences.

1124
01:19:30,135 --> 01:19:32,652
Good night, Mr Stafford.
Good night.

1125
01:19:47,847 --> 01:19:49,262
Alderman...

1126
01:19:49,287 --> 01:19:51,287
Hello.

1127
01:19:51,303 --> 01:19:53,006
Oh! Ohh!

1128
01:19:53,031 --> 01:19:55,031
Argh!

1129
01:20:07,575 --> 01:20:09,575
Funny.

1130
01:20:10,743 --> 01:20:14,212
It'll be 28 years tomorrow
since I joined the job.

1131
01:20:16,935 --> 01:20:20,404
28 years to the day, excepting
the war, of course.

1132
01:20:24,135 --> 01:20:26,990
All this with the merger
put me out of sorts.

1133
01:20:27,015 --> 01:20:29,015
Got me thinking...

1134
01:20:30,327 --> 01:20:32,327
..less ahead than behind.

1135
01:20:34,935 --> 01:20:38,366
I forgot for a minute
it's not about me.

1136
01:20:38,391 --> 01:20:42,254
It's about them that turn to us
for help...

1137
01:20:42,279 --> 01:20:44,279
..in time of need.

1138
01:20:44,295 --> 01:20:46,336
Weak, defenceless. Old, young.

1139
01:20:48,903 --> 01:20:50,903
Especially the young.

1140
01:20:53,223 --> 01:20:55,604
Does that mean you've reconsidered?

1141
01:20:57,975 --> 01:21:01,982
Oh, Win would never put up with me
under her feet all day.

1142
01:21:02,007 --> 01:21:04,007
Nah...

1143
01:21:04,023 --> 01:21:06,023
I was born a copper.

1144
01:21:08,919 --> 01:21:10,919
And I'll die one, I expect.

1145
01:21:13,815 --> 01:21:17,390
Hm. 'Ensanguining the skies

1146
01:21:17,415 --> 01:21:19,415
How heavily it dies

1147
01:21:20,727 --> 01:21:22,727
Into the west away;

1148
01:21:24,327 --> 01:21:26,368
Past touch and sight and sound

1149
01:21:28,791 --> 01:21:30,791
Not further to be found,

1150
01:21:32,535 --> 01:21:34,535
How hopeless underground

1151
01:21:37,143 --> 01:21:39,143
Falls the remorseful day.'

1152
01:21:43,623 --> 01:21:46,910
You know there's no cavalry coming?

1153
01:21:46,935 --> 01:21:49,316
Still time. I won't think the less.

1154
01:21:57,447 --> 01:21:59,447
To the end, then.

1155
01:22:00,903 --> 01:22:03,182
To the end.

1156
01:22:14,007 --> 01:22:16,660
Uh-uh! Nothing you can do
for him now.

1157
01:22:20,199 --> 01:22:21,902
The early bird, I'm afraid.

1158
01:22:21,927 --> 01:22:23,927
Sir! Sir!

1159
01:22:27,687 --> 01:22:30,398
You bastard! You bastard!

1160
01:22:30,423 --> 01:22:32,558
Names?  Really.

1161
01:22:32,583 --> 01:22:35,780
No bon mots? No apposite Augustan
valedictory?

1162
01:22:38,199 --> 01:22:41,342
I expected better from a Greats man.

1163
01:22:41,367 --> 01:22:43,367
Oxford material? Nah.

1164
01:22:44,823 --> 01:22:47,966
Just a boy from the sticks
with a chip on his shoulder

1165
01:22:47,991 --> 01:22:50,558
and a library card.

1166
01:22:50,583 --> 01:22:54,158
Where be your jibes now?

1167
01:22:54,183 --> 01:22:56,183
You're mad.

1168
01:22:57,639 --> 01:23:00,062
You can't seriously think you'll get
away with this.

1169
01:23:00,087 --> 01:23:04,033
Actually... I think they'll pin
another medal on my chest.

1170
01:23:06,135 --> 01:23:07,982
History's written by the victor.

1171
01:23:08,007 --> 01:23:11,006
Bad apples? That's you two,
I'm afraid.

1172
01:23:11,031 --> 01:23:13,310
In my version of events, at least.

1173
01:23:13,335 --> 01:23:17,918
And since that's all they'll have,
it's rather all that counts.

1174
01:23:17,943 --> 01:23:23,534
You see, when Chard told me you'd
got away, I had to improvise.

1175
01:23:23,559 --> 01:23:27,777
Right now, every copper in the
county is out looking for you.

1176
01:23:31,335 --> 01:23:34,872
Pity you won't be around to
appreciate my solution.

1177
01:23:37,671 --> 01:23:41,822
There, I'm afraid...
endeth the lesson.

1178
01:23:41,847 --> 01:23:43,847
Argh!

1179
01:24:08,487 --> 01:24:10,622
Stay with me, sir.

1180
01:24:10,647 --> 01:24:12,926
Stay with me, sir. Sir?

1181
01:24:12,951 --> 01:24:15,086
It's gonna be all right, sir.

1182
01:24:15,111 --> 01:24:17,678
Stay with me, sir! Stay with me!

1183
01:24:17,703 --> 01:24:20,628
It wasn't dreams.
It was memories.

1184
01:24:26,487 --> 01:24:28,487
My own father.

1185
01:24:29,511 --> 01:24:31,511
No more dreams.

1186
01:24:34,119 --> 01:24:36,119
My poor... lost boys.

1187
01:24:37,719 --> 01:24:39,719
No... No!

1188
01:25:13,863 --> 01:25:15,863
Come on, Tommy.

1189
01:25:18,471 --> 01:25:21,758
We uh... found the boy in one of
the top rooms, sir.

1190
01:25:21,783 --> 01:25:24,062
He's no recollection
how he got here.

1191
01:25:24,087 --> 01:25:27,086
Let's get this young man
back to his mother. Sir.

1192
01:25:27,111 --> 01:25:30,830
Come on, Tommy, let's go.
We'll make sure you're looked after.

1193
01:25:33,591 --> 01:25:35,591
He's in the best of care.

1194
01:25:43,671 --> 01:25:45,671
DC Morse?
Yes.

1195
01:25:45,687 --> 01:25:48,830
My name is Detective Inspector
Gregson of Kidlington CID.

1196
01:25:48,855 --> 01:25:53,150
Endeavour Morse, I am arresting you
for the murder of Chief Constable
Rupert -

1197
01:25:53,175 --> 01:25:55,175
You're arresting me?
You do not have to say -

1198
01:25:55,191 --> 01:25:57,191
You're... You've made a mistake.

1199
01:25:57,207 --> 01:25:59,630
..can be used in evidence.
Some kind of a mistake.

1200
01:25:59,655 --> 01:26:01,790
Take him inside.
Get your hands off me!

1201
01:26:01,815 --> 01:26:03,815
You've made a mistake!

1202
01:26:03,831 --> 01:26:06,144
That's it.
Get your hands off me!

1203
01:26:10,599 --> 01:26:12,599
What is going on here?

1204
01:28:21,351 --> 01:28:23,351
