Aye-aye, matey! Back in the land

00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,400
Well, seemingly not. Who found him?

then?

Reception for
the Oxford Concert Orchestra.

76
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,440
Invitation only.
How many in attendance?

77
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,520
About 100, according to the master.

78
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,520
Mainly dons and their guests. Maybe
ten to 15 members of the orchestra.

79
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,040
I've put in for a full list

80
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,880
from the office.
Any idea as to cause, Doctor?

81
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,280
No sign of violence or injury.

82
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:11,560
Can you put a time to it?

83
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Between nine and three
this morning, approximately.

84
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,880
The bash wound up around midnight,
one o'clock, according to staff.

85
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,400
We can probably assume
he wasn't lying dead

86
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,000
in the middle of a drinks reception,
Sergeant. People tend

87
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,160
to notice that sort of thing.
Just the one shoe?

88
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,920
I've got uniform having a poke
about the bushes for the other.

89
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,280
Well, gentlemen, the postmortem
might give us something more,

90
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:35,280
but I've done all I can here
for now,

91
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,440
so unless you've any objection,

92
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,120
shall we say two o'clock?
Doctor.

93
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,120
So, how was the West, then, matey?
All pasties and scrumpy?

94
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,440
I was mostly following
in Hardy's footsteps.

95
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,040
Were you?
"There's another fine mess", eh?

96
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200
I'll, er, chase up
about that guest list.

97
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,000
If you want to track down the
orchestra members and have a word,

98
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,600
it's probably more up your street
than Jim's or mine.

99
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Most likely just putting a name
to him. Be all right with that?

100
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,760
I should think I'll manage.

101
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,760
Oh, thanks for the postcard.
Oh.

102
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,880
Expect you were glad
of a bit of sea air after, er...

103
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,960
The cure?

104
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,120
Your extended leave of absence.

105
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,120
How is the...?

106
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,120
I'm cured all right.
Hand steady, eye clear.

107
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,520
The only pink elephants
I'll be encountering are

108
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,400
those enumerated by Dr DeBryn.

109
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Well, that's a weight, I'm sure.

110
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Anyway, I'll see you
back at the nick.

111
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,640
What ho, Mrs T!

112
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,120
Water ain't 'ot yet!

00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,880
"Her voice was ever soft,
gentle and low,

114
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,760
"an excellent thing in woman."

115
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,760
I say, Mrs Treadle,
whither the orange cremes?

116
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,080
I took them out. Miss Quincannon
likes the goldy foil ones.

117
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
I like the goldy foil ones.

118
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,600
You're not orchestra leader.
Speak of the devil!

119
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Well, if you're here, Jack,
hell must be empty.

120
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,080
Morning, gang.
Morning.

121
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,120
Mabs.
What's this?

122
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,640
No orange cremes
for the rank and file.

123
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,600
They're the special reserve
of La Reine Margeaux, apparently.

124
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Render unto Caesar, duckie.

125
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,920
The urn's not hot yet, Margeaux,
so I'm afraid

126
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000
you'll have to wait your turn
with the rest of us.

127
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,280
I'll just bring you one across
when it's ready, Margs.

128
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,080
It's all right. I'll loiter here
with the hoi polloi.

129
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,760
So, how did it go last night
at the soiree?

130
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,160
Wouldn't know, old cock.
Not my cup of Lapsang.

131
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,640
You mean, you weren't invited?
I went to the pub.

132
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,440
We were at the White Horse.
I didn't see you.

133
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,520
Ah, I tonked on down to the Turf.

134
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Margeaux and Mabs was there, though,
weren't you?

135
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,160
With that ghastly old witch.

136
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,160
Madame Belasco is not
a ghastly old witch, Jack.

137
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,080
Ooh, stand by your bunks!

138
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,400

00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,640

towards the chartreuse.

141
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,480
I've not seen you about.

142
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,360
Well, I've not been about.

143
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,200
It's been months!
I thought maybe you'd moved on,

144
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,480
but I didn't think you'd go
without saying goodbye.

145
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,560
Your colleagues have been
singularly unforthcoming.

146
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:34,440
Something hush-hush?

147
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,800
All right, keep your secrets.

148
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,480
So, what's the story here?

149
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,000
I'm not sure there is one yet.

150
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,560
And do you have a name for him?

151
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:44,800
First order of business.

152
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,960
Well, if you fancy a stiffener
before the PM, my round, I think.

153
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,720
Ah, but thanks. Another time.

154
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,840
Passing up the offer of a drink?

155
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,440
Are you sure you're quite well?

156
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Never better.
Oh.

157
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Morse? Well, we didn't have time

158
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,760
for much of a talk, sir,
but, er, he said he was right, so...

159
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,280
Good. Let's hope he's put
all his troubles behind him, hm?

160
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,120
There's a musical connection
to this body found at the college,

161
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,760
which should play to his strengths,
I'd have thought.

162
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,640
Well, sir,
unless there's anything else...

163
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,080
As a matter of fact,
there, is, er...

164
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,320
one thing.

165
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,000
I understand there's
a detective superintendency...

166
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,800
..coming up in the next couple
of months at Carshall New Town.

167
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,920
I have it on good authority

168
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160
it would be looked on favourably
were you to express an interest.

169
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,320
Carshall, sir?

170
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,760
If I've been off my game at all...
Good heavens, no, no!

171
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,600
If I might put
my cards on the table...

172
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,960
After some thought,

173
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,240
I've decided the time is due,
perhaps long overdue...

174
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,120
..for me to retire.

175
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,040
If possible, I'd like to see my men
into safe harbour -

176
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,160
you, Strange, young Morse...

177
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,440
..else I fear I should feel
I'd left a job only half done.

178
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,400
Well, I don't know what to say, sir.
Er...

179
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,280
I'd always thought - well, hoped -
that after the last few years,

180
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,680
we'd see our service out together.
I'm sorry to let you down.

181
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:25,440
Never, sir, not for a minute.

182
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Obviously, Carshall would probably
mean a move.

183
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,040
That's something you'd need
to discuss with Mrs Thursday.

184
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,520
But a superintendency
would be the crowning achievement

185
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,920
of an exemplary career.

186
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,800
And Morse, sir?

187
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,600
I'm sure you'd like
to take him with you,

188
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,280
but the appropriate rank

189
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,440
for a superintendent's ADC
is inspector or above.

190
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,800
Nobody could have done more for him.

191
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,720
They all fledge in the end,
Thursday.

192
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,800
Hard as it is,
one has to let them go.

193
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,560
Sooner or later...

194
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,360
..they have to fly alone.

195
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,680
ORCHESTRA PLAYS
CLASSICAL MUSIC

196
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,480
No, no, no, no!

197
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,560
Come on!
Always the bloody wardrobes! You!

198
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,520
Yes, you, bass.

199
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,320
You're always late.

200
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,200
Can't you count, hm?

201
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,960
They're called triplets.
Tri-puh-let! Tri-puh-let!

202
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,840
Who the hell are you?!

203
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,640
Whoever you are, get out!
We're rehearsing.

204
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,880
Donald, what do I pay you for?

205
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Bar 20.

206
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,640
I'm sorry, if it's an interview
you're after,

207
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,480
I'm afraid...
Detective Sergeant Morse,

208
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,200
Thames Valley. Mr...?

209
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,760
Fischer. Erm, Donald Fischer.
Orchestra manager.

210
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,720
I understand a number of
your principals from the orchestra

211
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,920
attended a party
at Beaumont College, last night.

212
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,640
No-one broke anything, did they?

213
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,720
Morning, Donald.
What sort of mood is he in?

214
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Oh.

215
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,320
Ooh! Oh!

216
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,120
All right?
I'm sorry.

217
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Thank you. My apologies.

218
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,600
That was desperately clumsy of me.
Not at all.

219
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,160
Again! And...

220
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,320
I'm sorry.

221
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,120
You were saying?

222
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,800
We didn't see him, did we, Mabs?

223
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,240
No. No.

224
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,960
And it was quite dark.

225
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,560
Not dark enough
that, if we'd seen him,

226
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:11,280
we wouldn't remember him.
You are?

227
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,320
Margeaux Quincannon, orchestra
leader. My colleague, Mabs Portman.

228
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,000
It would appear none of us saw
anyone like that, officer.

229
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,680
I know I didn't. So, can we get back
to the rehearsal?

230
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,480
You're sure?

231
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Absolutely, sure.
I never forget a face.

232
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720
In fact...

233
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,800
you look familiar.

234
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:35,920
Have we met?

235
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,600
Well, we've not been
formally introduced,

236
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,120
but, er, well, I sing with the
Oxford Scholars' Choral Association.

237
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,080
We were part of Faure's Requiem
in '69.

238
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,600
Were you?

239
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Not our finest hour, as I recall.

240
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,560
What was it Shaw said?
"Hell is full of musical amateurs."

241
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,600
Again, please!

242
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,560
Needless to say,
I had the last laugh.

243
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,440
HE LAUGHS

244
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,920
All done?

245
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,640
Yes, thank you, Mr...?

246
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,120
John Graham-Scott.

247
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,680
"Jack." Viola.

248
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Oh, God, here he comes!

249
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,320
Anal Fischer. The only man in Oxford

250
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,560
with a flat
up Alex Lermontov's arse.

251
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,400
If you're ready, gentlemen.

252
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,880
I'm sorry, Donald.
Won't be two ticks.

253
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Excuse me!
Yes?

254
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,760
I just wanted to say

255
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,480
thank you for earlier.
Oh, not at all.

256
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,000
I wondered if I could...

257
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,480
if you'd like to attend
the concert this evening.

258
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,320
It's the premiere of a new concerto
Alex has written... for me.

259
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,360
As my guest, of course.

260
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,240
Erm...
Or I've a prize-giving

261
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,200
at the Belasco this afternoon,
if you're free.

262
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Look, I feel stupid
to even mention it,

263
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,400
but I should value the advice
of a professional,

264
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,440
someone familiar with such things.

265
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,800
What things, Miss Poole?

266
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,600
Barring a superficial scratch
to the neck,

267
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,640
there is no obvious sign of injury,
I'm afraid.

268
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,040
Blood analysis might give us
something, possibly.

269
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,600
It's unusual in one so young,

270
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640
but it could just be natural causes.

271
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,320
His heart, perhaps.

272
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,640
Oh, stomach contents.

273
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,840
A last supper
of alphabet spaghetti...

274
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,880
if you want me to spell it out.

275
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Ingested within an hour of decease.

276
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,200
Unlikely he ate at college, then.

277
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,320
What do you make to this?

278
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,280
Doubtless this will come
as a great surprise,

279
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,760
but I'm perhaps not as au fait

280
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,480
with the vagaries of fashion

281
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,880
as my position as an eminent
Home Office pathologist

282
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,040
might have led you to believe.
My point is,

283
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,120
that it looks rather new.
Little wear to the sole.

284
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,360
Then he clearly wasn't
in our business.

285
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,840
Now, might a pair of heels
deserve a glass?

286
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Oh, no, not for me, thanks.

287
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,040
Late for Lent? New leaf?

288
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,360
Something like that.

289
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,280
Looked well, I thought. Morse.

290
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,720
Yeah.

291
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:41,360
I was thinking of asking him.

292
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:46,320
For, er...
Oh, well, no better man.

293
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,240
What you got today, then?

294
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,880
Ah, Morse!

295
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,440
Yes, you're back with us
as of this morning, of course.

296
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,920
Yes, sir.
Splendid.

297
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,200
Your tour of the West Country
proved restorative, I hope.

298
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,120
Yes, sir. Thank you.

299
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,840
Yes, well, I'm sure
most of us could benefit

300
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,120
from a little time away
from the usual once in a while.

301
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,520
Well, carry on.

302
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,200
Come in. Ah, how did you make out
with the orchestra?

303
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,480
Well, nobody claims

304
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,080
to know him or have seen him
at the college last night.

305
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,560
Well, busy, maybe. I suppose

306
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,560
if he wasn't one of their crowd...
Mm.

307
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,560
I did find an identity bracelet
in the soil by the body.

308
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,600
"AL". Alan or Albert, perhaps.

309
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Or Alec, if it is his.

310
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,440
The one shoe he did have on
was from Burridges.

311
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Possibly bought fairly recently,
judging by the lack of wear.

312
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,960
I thought I'd pop in. But we could
get a late lunch, if you fancy.

313
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,480
I just got back from the pub
with Jim.

314
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,720
I wasn't sure how long you'd be

315
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,600
or whether it was still
something you...

316
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760
I suppose we got into the habit,
with you been away.

317
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,960
No, no, no, it's...

318
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,600
Oh, actually,
there was one more curiosity.

319
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,920
Erm, Christina Poole,
the guest soloist.

320
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,160
After the concert last night,
she found someone had scrawled

321
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,200
the word "bitch"
on her dressing room mirror.

322
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,840
Connected, do you think?

323
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,120
I can't see how it can be, but
I did say I'd look into it for her.

324
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,880
She's got some prize-giving
over at the Belasco Academy.

325
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,760
It's a music school
for gifted children.

326
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,920
I thought I'd go there,

327
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,400
then go to Burridges.
KNOCK ON DOOR

328
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,360
Word through from uniform of a body
been found. Sounds like foul play.

329
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,080
Doctor.

330
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,320
You're keeping me busy,
Chief Inspector.

331
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,080
One more corpse and I shall be able
to claim a set of tumblers.

332
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,400
Jesus!

333
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Yes, Sergeant,
I rather think that was

334
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,240
the general idea.

335
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,680
Only this man's tongue
has been torn out

336
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,000
and was nailed to the floor.
That what did for him?

337
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Shot twice.

338
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,480
Once through the heart,
once through the head.

339
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,800
Be able to give you calibre
after the postmortem,

340
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,520
but he'd taken a savage beating

341
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,360
shortly before his decease.
How long?

342
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:24,760
12 hours, give or take.

343
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,920
Any identification on him?

344
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,920
No. I've put his wallet there.

345
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,480
But if I'm not much mistaken,

346
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,840
he appears to have the telephone
number for Castle Gate

347
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,720
written on his left cuff.

348
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,400
That's Mickey Flood.
You know him?

349
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,200
Knew him, back in the Smoke,

350
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,840
my Cable Street days.

351
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,080
Mickey Flood.

352
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,560
Full-time thief,
part-time informant.

353
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,520
What's he doing in Oxford?

354
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,360
There's a train ticket
in his wallet. Yesterday's date.

355
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,320
So, how do you know him?

356
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,880
My early days on the beat
before the war.

357
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,160
We were of an age, more or less.

358
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,880
He was in my brother Charlie's year.

359
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,000
Always a wrong 'un.

360
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,120
Whole family were thieves.

361
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,040
Their old man,
and his old man before him.

362
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,360
Only Mickey's problem was,
he was never much good at it.

363
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:31,560
If it was raining luck, Mickey Flood
couldn't get wet to save his life.

364
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Next of kin?

365
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,320
His wife's gone, Lil.

366
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,760
Daughter would be
about Joan's age now, I suppose.

367
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,520
Patty, was it?

368
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,480
You'd better push on
to your prize-giving.

369
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,800
Me and Jim can finish up here
and take the PM.

370
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,480
I'll see you back at the nick.

371
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,520
A former pupil here at the Belasco,

372
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,240
I am delighted to call upon
Christina Poole

373
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,840
to present the Bedlow Prize,

374
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,000
which she herself won
a mere seven years ago.

375
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,000
Thank you so much,
ladies and gentlemen.

376
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,200
Do you get back much?
Only when I'm asked.

377
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,440
But former pupils who'd done well
used to come back and talk to us

378
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,160
when I was here, you see, and so,
one feels one really ought.

379
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,000
Ah.
I owe the place everything.

380
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,840
That sounds like something
you feel you should say,

381
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,320
rather than something
you actually believe.

382
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,960
Gosh, you really are a detective,
aren't you?

383
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,840
People always imagine

384
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,240
coming somewhere like this
must be endless fun.

385
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,480
There are a lot of tears after dark,

386
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,320
a lot of unhappiness.

387
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,440
One does feel, at times,

388
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,360
rather like some sort of freak,

389
00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:59,320
a performing animal.
Mm.

390
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,240
I think children are probably
best left to be children.

391
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,200
If you're ready,
we ought to be heading back.

392
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,480
One minute.
Of course.

393
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,760
So, this message on your mirror.
Is that the first you've received?

394
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,680
After a concert, yes.

395
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,880
But I've had one or two
pushed under my door.

396
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,640
I'm staying at the Ragdale Hotel.

397
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,400
Also written in lipstick?
No.

398
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Could it be a jealous girlfriend,
perhaps?

399
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Jealous? Of whom?

400
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,720
I'm altogether rather single.

401
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,760
You get letters, of course,

00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,560

VIOLIN PLAYS

407
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,560
May I help you, sir?

408
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,080
Yes, I'd like to ask you
about these.

409
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,560
Oh, yes, sir, the "Sir John".

410
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,360
I'm not sure we have them
in your size.

411
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:27,800
In fact, I think that might be
our last pair.

412
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,960
They're not for me.
I'm Detective Sergeant Morse,

413
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,280
Thames Valley. Have you sold
any lately in a size 8?

414
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,760
I'd need to check
with the stock department.

415
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,200
They came in as part of
last year's spring collection.

416
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,440
Right. You don't remember selling
any yourself?

417
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,080
In the last month, say,

418
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,080
to this man?

419
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Oh, God. I don't remember him.

420
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,840
But I usually do a half day
Wednesdays,

421
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,360
so my colleague might have
served him.

422
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,360
She's at tea.

423
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,960
I'll call if we find anything.

424
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,640
Anything further on Mickey Flood?

425
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,480
There's a warrant out on him,
back in London.

426
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,840
Some kind of protection racket.

427
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,880
That was never Mickey's caper.

428
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,120
He couldn't knock the skin
off a rice pudding.

429
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:18,560
He was a thief, first and last.

430
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,960
How did you make out at the school?

431
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,960
It's hard to see how these messages
can relate

432
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,600
to this young man at the college.

433
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,600
It's probably just some bad blood
within the orchestra.

434
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,080
She's a guest soloist, an outsider.

435
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,760
Perhaps somebody just isn't happy
that she's there.

436
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280
What about Burridges?
Apparently a saleswoman remembered

437
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,320
and said that she had a customer
return a pair recently for exchange.

438
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,120
She can't be 100%, but she thinks
it could be the same young man.

439
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:44,320
She's put a request out to the
accounts department. It's possible

440
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,880
they have his address on file.

441
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,960
Well, if you've got this concert
to go to,

442
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,200
I'll see you in the morning.

Yes! Yes, I heard.

00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,240
'It's debatable. If I remember,
it was Schoenberg who said,

00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,840
Must be the best part
of 25 years since.

476
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,760
Why come all this way?

477
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,360
What couldn't he tell you
over the phone from London?

478
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,600
Maybe he wanted to arrange
a face-to-face.

479
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,520
Why not just come
straight to the station?

480

Far enough off his home ground
for him not to be recognised.

Villains like Mickey would
sooner be caught dead

482
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,760
than set foot inside a nick.
Well, he's dead all right.

Too early to say.

504
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,200
According to her colleagues -
at least those I spoke to -

505
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,800
she was in otherwise good health.

506
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,880

510
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,200
Give the lab a chance.

511
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,160
I only sent them off this afternoon.

512
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,120
Since then, I've rather had
my hands full with this crucifixion.

to come to terms
with the scale of our loss.

519
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,840
We've each of us lost a friend,

520
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,440
and the orchestra has lost

521
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,840
a fine leader.
MUTTERS: Bloody hypocrite.

522
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,200
In light of this tragedy,

523
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,680
I've instructed Donald
that we'll begin rehearsals

524
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,640
an hour later than scheduled
tomorrow.

525
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,440
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to
speak to the rest of the orchestra.

526
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,800
We'll need a next of kin,
Mr Fischer.

527
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,400
Of course. She's, erm...

528
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,520
Parents in Cumbria, I believe,
are quite elderly.

529
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,280
She was unmarried, then?

530
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,480
Er, no, she wasn't married.

531
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,440
No boyfriend or...?

532
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,760
Er, as far as I know.
She lived alone.

533
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,880
How long had she been
with the orchestra?

534
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,720
Ten years?
Was she well liked?

535
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,720
Well liked? Well liked?

536
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,560
What kind of a question is that?

537
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,440
SOBS: She just died
in front of all of us!

538
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,680
Margeaux was lovely.
She was just lovely.

539
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,640
Yes, of course, she was, Mabs.

540
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,800
They were at the Belasco together.
My condolences.

541
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,240
Come on, Mabs.
Let's go get you a drink.

542
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,840
Would these be hers?

543
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,680
Er, yes, I believe so.

544
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,960
You're taking her things?

545
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,920
Well, there's been a sudden,
unexplained death, Mr Fischer.

546
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,240
There are certain procedures
that we have to follow.

547
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Carshall?

548
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,720
Well, it'd mean
a bit more to the pension.

549
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,680
It's not as if that
wouldn't be welcome

550
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,400
when I do turn in my tin star.

551
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320
We're here, though.

552
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,640
We've made a home.

553
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,280
You have, you mean.
Home is wherever you are.

554
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,560
Oh! You won't get round me
with soft soap.

555
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,720
I'm not trying to get round you.

556
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,040
I can't think of all this right now,

557
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,640
not when everything's in the air
with Sam.

558
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,840
Let's get this week out of the way.

559
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,000
And we've Joan to think of.

560
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,880
Joanie'll be all right.
You sound like

561
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,440
you've already made up your mind.
No!

562
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,760
You'd have to be all right with it.
I wouldn't do anything

563
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,680
without your say-so.
And what about Morse?

564
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,080
You've always had
a lot of time for him.

565
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,920
What'll happen to him if you go?

566
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,920
There's nothing more
I can teach him.

567
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,920
All right, is he, after his trouble?

568
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Yeah.

569
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,880
Well...

570
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,320
I think so. He seems to be.

571
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,920
Hm.

572
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,720
KNOCK ON DOOR

573
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,280
It's too awful.
I've just been sitting here.

574
00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,520
I can't believe she's gone.
She's been so lovely.

575
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,520
You've had a visitor.

576
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,040
Oh.

577
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,200
Yes, that.
It was here when I got back after...

578
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,760
Seems very trivial
against what's happened.

579
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,480
Were you close,
you and Miss Quincannon?

580
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,000
I don't know about close.

581
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,440
As a guest soloist, you're always
living in someone else's house,

582
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,160
but she'd been very welcoming.

583
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,680
I've got a table booked
at the Tratt.

584
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,840
I'm not sure I'm terribly hungry.
You have to eat.

585
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,520
Doesn't she? She has to eat.

586
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,040
You'll call me through

587
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,560
with a telephone and address
for Miss Quincannon's parents?

588
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,240
Of course, first thing.

589
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,800
Thank you.
Not at all.

590
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,600
SHE GASPS

591
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,920
I told the maid I'd mislaid my key.

592
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,600
I looked for you...

593
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,840
..after the performance,
such as it was.

594
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,200
Donald took me to a late supper.

595
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,360
Donald!

596
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:55,040
Must I remind you, the lives of
such as we are defined by sacrifice?

597
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,640
What does that mean?

598
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,280
Are you really going to squander

599
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,640
your time and talent
on some foolish infatuation?

600
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,200
It's not like that.
After all the work,

601
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:12,120
all I've poured in
to creating a great artist.

602
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,200
What about what I've poured in,

603
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,000
from a child?

604
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,320
Other girls had friends,
parties, fun.

605
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,040
I had a rehearsal room.
You were special.

606
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,040
I didn't ask to be!

607
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,800
I didn't ask to be.

608
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,560
What is it you want, Al?

609
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,160
I want things to be
the way they were.

610
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,200
You listened to me once.

611
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,760
We can put things back together,
just like new.

612
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,560
We'll go to the villa at Mongi

613
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,520
for the summer.

614
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,560
There's so much more I have
to teach you, Chrissy...

615
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,080
..to give you.

616
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,320
I know,

617
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,840
and I am grateful.

618
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,320
But I'm also desperately tired.

619
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,480
It's a terrible thing,
about Margeaux.

620
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,920
Of course, my dear, of course.

621
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,360
Well...

622
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,960
Good night.

623
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,840
Look, two or three years

624
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,200
at Carshall
to see us into my pension,

625
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,080
then we can go where you like,
can't we?

626
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,000
Either where Joanie is by then,

627
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,040
or we've always talked
about the coast. Selsey Bill...

628
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,520
DOORBELL RINGS
..Bracklesham Bay,

629
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,680
Isle of Wight, even, Shanklin.

630
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,560
We had a lovely time
at the Wavecrest that week.

631
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:51,960
Morse!

632
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,400
Well, you do look
a sight for sore eyes

633
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,480
and make no mistake!
Much in?

634
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,360
We've a postmortem with Dr DeBryn.

635
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,000
Well, I don't want to hear
about innards

636
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200
before eight o'clock, I'm sure.
I'll fetch your sandwiches.

637
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,080
The principal violinist at
the Oxford Concert Orchestra died

638
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,640
during last night's performance.

639
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,320
I know it's not suspicious
at first hand,

640
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,400
but I thought, given that death
at Beaumont after their reception...

641
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,120
Here you are. Come home safe.

642
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,360
Morse.
Mrs Thursday.

643
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,960
ORCHESTRA PLAYS
CLASSICAL MUSIC

644
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,800
Right. Miss Quincannon.

645
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,080
Essentially, Miss Quincannon died
of cardiovascular collapse

646
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,760
brought on by respiratory arrest.

647
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,280
Natural causes, then?

648
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,880
After a fashion.

649
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,040
There were signs of pulmonary oedema

650
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,240
which, by itself,
might suggest heart disease.

651
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:17,720
But there was also laryngeal oedema,

652
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,280
which, since there's
no laryngeal injury,

653
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,520
brings anaphylaxis into play.

654
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,960
A severe allergic reaction.

655
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,800
To what? Something she ate?

656
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,360
Possibly. I've sent her stomach
contents off for analysis

657
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,240
and have put a call in to her GP,

658
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:35,160
but sometimes, just coming
into contact with the allergen

659
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,440
can be enough to trigger
a fatal response.

660
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,040
Those prone to that kind of thing
usually carry

661
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,240
some sort of antihistamine,
don't they?

662
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:44,520
Oh, yes.

663
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,240
In extreme cases, if people
are particularly susceptible,

664
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:50,000
they're liable to carry adrenaline.
Hm.

665
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,760
Anything like that in her handbag?
No.

666
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,680
Would Miss Quincannon have
understood

667
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,200
what was happening to her?

668
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,800
If she'd had a severe reaction
before, I'd imagine so, yes.

669
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,800
Then why didn't she do
something about it?

670
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,600
Well, perhaps she wanted
to complete the performance

671
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,600
and just misjudged the severity
of the attack until it was too late.

672
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,880
Found these in the bathroom cabinet.

673
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,920
Syringe and what looks
to be adrenaline,

674
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,080
presumably in case she has
an attack.

675
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,680
Anything?
Oh, a few school pictures,

676
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,200
certificates, diplomas,
and the like.

677
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:43,120
Is there much money in it?

678
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,280
Orchestra leader's
the highest paid member,

679
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,280
but she was never gonna die rich.

680
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,240
I imagine she did a bit of teaching.

681
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:50,840
What's this?

682
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,120
Oh, rosin. String players use it.

683
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,160
This might be something.

684
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,720
She was writing a letter,
or at least drafting one.

685
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,160
"If you think
you're going to put me aside,

686
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,880
"you've got another think coming.

687
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,960
"I won't go quietly.

688
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,520
"I'll make such a scene you won't
be able to show your face again."

689
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,360
Everyone I spoke to in the orchestra
said that she was single.

690
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,760
Maybe they don't know anything
about her private life.

691
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,480
It's interesting. The shade of
lipstick that Miss Quincannon wore

692
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,280
is a very close match to that left
on Christina Poole's mirror.

693
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,400
That might explain the letter.

694
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,680
If she thought she'd been supplanted

695
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,400
in someone's affections
by Miss Poole...

696
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,160
Hell hath no fury.

697
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,200
Poor Margeaux had a seizure,
didn't she?

698
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,840
It was natural causes.
That's what we're here to establish,

699
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,240
Mr Fischer.

700
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,160
You got on well,

701
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,320
with Miss Quincannon, would you say?
For my part.

702
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,720
Margeaux had her ways.

703
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:07,280
She could be a bit grim

704
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,800
if she didn't take to you,

705
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,160
but I'm just rank and file,

706
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,200
and far too young
to have ever been a threat to her.

707
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,600
What kind of a threat, Miss Trench?
To her position.

708
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,840
It was something she guarded
very jealously.

709
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,160
And quite right, too.

710
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,240
There was a lot of resentment
in the boys' club.

711
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:23,080
And who'll take her place now?

712
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,880
Well, ordinarily, one might expect
the co-leader to step in,

713
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,280
but... Mabs can't face it.

714
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,080
She's ruled herself out.

715
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,680
They were close, I understand.
Two peas in a pod.

716
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,040
What about Miss Quincannon's
private life?

717
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,960
Can you help us with anything
in that regard?

718
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,920
I don't know
if there's anything in it,

719
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,600
but there's always been talk

720
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,600
that she and Alex
had some sort of...

721
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,120
Well, I don't know.

722
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,840
Something.

723
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,760
But it wasn't something
we discussed.

724
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,720
If anyone knows the ins and outs,
it's Mabs.

725
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:00,040
Here.
Thank you.

726
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,800
I just cannot believe
that she's gone.

727
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,280
We've shared a desk
for as long as I can remember.

728
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,240
Sergeant Morse tells me

729
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:12,720
that you and Miss Quincannon studied
music together

730
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:14,120
when you were young.

731
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,040
At the Belasco, yes.

732
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,920
Can you recall any serious allergic
reaction she had to anything then?

733
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,120
Erm, well, there were some things
that Margeaux didn't eat,

734
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,640
but I always just put that

735
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,880
down to her being faddy.
Such as?

736
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,760
In the summer,
she avoided strawberries.

737
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,400
Was there anyone she was involved
with that you know of?

738
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,720
No. Not recently, at least.

739
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:40,240
There was the odd chap
here and there.

740
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,200
When you're constantly travelling
the world,

741
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,120
it asks a lot of people
to make something last.

742
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,760
It's been suggested that perhaps
she and Sir Alexander were involved.

743
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,360
Alex was very good to Margeaux
when she was younger.

744
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,360
He... He took her under his wing.

745
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,080
But the idea that there was ever
anything seriously between them?

746
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,040
No, she would've said.

747
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,560
Let's just say, she relished
her position as orchestra leader

748
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,840
a little too much for my taste.

749
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,880
We enjoyed a...

750
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,080
healthy mutual dislike.

751
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,480
I'm sure I wasn't alone in that.

752
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,360
If there's something
you're trying to say...

753
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,160
What's to say?

754
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,120
You've spoken to our young Donald,
I see.

755
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,360
Yes.

756
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,400
Well, he wouldn't be
the first orchestra manager

757
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,720
to lose his head
over a visiting soloist.

758
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,640
Still, as Margeaux proved,

759
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,200
there's always been more than
one way to get to Carnegie Hall. Hm?

760
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,680
Was there ever anything between you
that went beyond the professional?

761
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,920
What, me and Margeaux?

762
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,840
It's been suggested.
By whom?

763
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,840
Margeaux was
a promising young violinist.

764
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,680
I did what I could to help her
develop her talent.

765
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,800
One can see how a young girl might
take all that interest and attention

766
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,000
from a famous and powerful man
and mistake it for something else...

767
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,480
if it was mistaken.

768
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:19,280
Look...

769
00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:25,480
..whatever mad ideas
Margeaux entertained, then or now,

770
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,640
there was never
anything more between us

771
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,560
than would be right and proper

772
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,440
between mentor and pupil.

773
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,440
What mad ideas are these?

774
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,520
That you and Miss Poole
were carrying on?

775
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,680
Oh, God!

776
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,360
Look, Margeaux may have thought it.

777
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,280
But my relationship with Christina

778
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,240
is on an altogether higher plane.
Is it?

779
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:53,320
If it's beyond a policeman to
understand, let me put it this way.

780
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,920
As a composer,
I view Christina as my instrument,

781
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,680
an extension
of my physical and spiritual self.

782
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,200
I express my innermost being

783
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,880
through her playing.
Well, I'm sure

784
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,280
knowing that must have been
a great comfort to Miss Quincannon.

785
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,840
She was very particular
about her biscuits.

786
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,840
I had to pick them out for her.

787
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,760
She wouldn't have anything
that was just loose in the box.

788
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:26,040
Thank you. Do they use this space
a lot, the orchestra?

789
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:30,040
When they're not abroad touring.

790
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,440
Rest of the time, it's all sorts.

791
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,240
We had the Young Generation
in last week,

792
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:37,680
with that Mimi, is it?
Oh, yeah.

793
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,240
Oh, and next month we've got
him off Jolliphant

794
00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:43,600
coming in for a play at the Empire.

795
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,360
Are they a decent bunch?

796
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,560
These?
Mm.

797
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:52,400
Well, as long as there's hot water
for the tea and coffee.

798
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,360
Sorry to interrupt, Mrs T. I just
wanted to ask the officer something.

799
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,960
Oh, don't mind me, I'm sure.

800
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:01,440
Thank you, Mrs Treadle.

801
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,880
I just wondered if there was
any news about my well-wisher.

802
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,720
Ah, I'm working on it.
But try not to worry.

803
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:09,320
These things very rarely escalate.

804
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,600
Are you sure
there's nobody in the orchestra

805
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,240
that you might have upset?

806
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:16,560
No-one. At least, not intentionally,
I'm sure.

807
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,720
What about Miss Quincannon?

808
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:21,240
She'd been lovely, so supportive.

809
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:23,480
You don't think she...?

810
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,280
It's just an avenue of inquiry.

811
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,720
Well, at least
we've a pretty decent idea

812
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:32,320
of who's been leaving those messages
for Miss Poole.

813
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,560
If Quincannon thought Lermontov
had thrown her over

814
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:36,880
for his latest protege...

815
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,000
That's if the draft letters
were meant for him.

816
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,720
Yeah,
but I wouldn't put it past his type

817
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:44,200
to still have been knocking her off
on the QT as and when.

818
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,280
They all seemed to know that she had
some kind of allergy,

819
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,040
even if they couldn't agree
on what it was.

820
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,360
Odd there was nothing
amongst her effects

821
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,320
to counter an attack.
Perhaps there was,

822
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,400
and somebody removed it.
On the other hand,

823
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,360
we could be chasing our own tails
and looking

824
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,000
for something that's not there.
What, an accident?

825
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,200
It's possible, isn't it?

826
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,600
She comes into contact with
something that sets off an attack

827
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,000
by quite innocent means.

828
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,320
Unless we find a solid motive,

829
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,560
I'd say we're looking
at death by misadventure.

830
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,040
At least that's how
the coroner will see it.

831
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,280
Let me call you back.

832
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,360
Aye-aye, matey.
Burridges have been in touch.

833
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,200
Something to do with shoes,
could it be?

834
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,440
Ah, right. Thanks.

835
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,960
And Dr DeBryn called.

836
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,400
Blood results came in
on the body of Beaumont.

837
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,640
Heroin and barbiturate.

838
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,960
A "hot shot", he called it.
How did he miss that?

839
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,880
No obvious track marks on the arms,

840
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,320
so he'd no reason to believe
he was looking at an addict.

841
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,960
Turns out the injection site
was between his toes

842
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,080
on the right foot.

843
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,080
Couldn't say
whether it was self-administered,

844
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,960
but I shouldn't think it's likely,
would you?

845
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,280
Hello, again. I understand you spoke

846
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,560
to one of my colleagues,
Detective Sergeant Strange,

847
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,280
about a pair of shoes that were
recorded in the exchange book.

848
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,560
Oh, yes, sir. Young Mr Burridge has
had the big book set aside for you.

849
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,840
Ah.
If you'd like to follow me.

850
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,400
No sign of any drugs paraphernalia,

851
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,560
if this Thompson is our man.
It's him, all right.

852
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,400
Alphabet spaghetti. His last meal,
according to Dr DeBryn.

853
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,000
This probably answers
whether he injected himself or not.

854
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,920
I can't see him going out

855
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,840
wearing only one shoe.
Mm.

856
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,000
You ever heard of
Ace Private Inquiries, Headington?

857
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,680
Don't ring a bell. Why?

858
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,360
Yeah, come in.

859
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:33,280
Come on through.
I won't be a minute.

860
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,800
TOILET FLUSHES
Right. Sorry to have...

861
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,120
Ronnie.

862
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,360
Thought you'd left Oxford.

863
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,720
As you can see.

864
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,880
So, to what do I owe?
To whom.

865
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:01,520
Edward Thompson. A client of yours,

866
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,360
or at least somebody
you've interviewed.

867
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,200
Doesn't ring a bell.

868
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,520
He had one of your cards.

869
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,520
Address in Ford Road, Cowley.
A boarding house.

870
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,880
You know how the private game works,
fellas.

871
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,760
If he was a client,
why would I tell you?

872
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,480
Cos he's dead.
I can see that.

873
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,080
Somebody gave him a hot shot
and dumped

874
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,240
his body in the gardens
of Beaumont College.

875
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:26,680
What did he want?

876
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,800
He, er... He came to me

877
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,760
for help finding a missing person -

878
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,520
his mother, Brenda.

879
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,200
Left home in '62
after a fall-out with her old man.

880
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:39,960
Came down south.
From where?

881
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,680
North-east.
What made him think

882
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,360
she'd come here, to Oxford?

883
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,120
Brenda used to send a letter
every so often.

884
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,120
Then, the letters stopped.

885
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,840
Who's Eileen Wright?

886
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,840
Friend of the family. Dead now.

887
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,280
The father didn't want
Brenda writing home,

888
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,080
so the letters came to Eileen.
That was the last.

889
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,600
Get anywhere with it?

890
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:03,760
Some.

891
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,040
Drink?

892
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,920
I usually nibble a couple
around this time in the afternoon.

893
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,360
Yeah, why not?
No, not for me, thanks.

894
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,040
Why? What's up? Copped a dose?

895
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,680
She used to do a bit of temping,
here and there.

896
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,600
Richardson's in Cowley,

897
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,680
a spell at British Imperial Electric
in the offices.

898
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,880
The last I've got for her
is in the September of '63.

899
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,480
She's at Landesman Construction.

900
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,600
Built Divisional HQ, didn't they?

901
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,840
Did he or his mother
have any connection

902
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,840
to the Oxford Concert Orchestra,
do you know?

903
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,760
If they did,
it never got mentioned to me.

904
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,440
So... how is it back at the factory?

905
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,800
Old Brighty still in charge?

906
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,160
Yeah, Mr Bright's still there.

907
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,160
They'll carry that one out
feet first.

908
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,160
We never much cared for each other,
but I, er...

909
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,280
..I'd never have wished
what happened on him.

910
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,120
I expect there's a lot of things
we wish had gone differently...

911
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:20,960
..but they went how they went.

912
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,680
Look, I wasn't being cagey earlier.

913
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,680
It's just, when he came to me,
the boy didn't call himself...

914
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,360
What was it?
Edward Thompson.

915
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,240
No. See, it was Andy,
he said his name was.

916
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:34,000
Andrew.
Andrew Thompson?

917
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,120
No, Lewis. Andrew Lewis.

918
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,800
"AL", then.

919
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,800
Same as the identity bracelet
you found at Beaumont.

920
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,200
Mm, maybe Box turned up
more than he realised.

921
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,280
Stirred up a hornet's nest,
you mean?

922
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,360
Someone gets wind the boy's digging
through what happened to his mother

923
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:53,720
and decided to put a stop to it.

924
00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:55,720
Assuming something did happen
to her.

925
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:57,280
What if she just met someone new,

926
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,080
wanted to put
her previous life behind her?

927
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,880
Landesman.

928
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,480
Well, everyone's got to work
somewhere, I suppose.

929
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,280
She'd temped
at British Imperial Electric, too.

930
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,880
Hm, but Landesman Construction
was her last known employer

931
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,880
before the postcards stopped.

932
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,480
Hard to see how her disappearance
in '63

933
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,000
and the death of her son ties in

934
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,240
with Miss Quincannon.
What if it doesn't?

935
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:22,160
What if we're trying to put together

936
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:23,280
two things that don't fit?

937
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,200
Might be an idea
if we split our labours.

938
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,200
If you push on with Miss Quincannon,
I'll try and track down anyone

939
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,880
who worked Landesman's at the
same time Brenda Lewis was there.

940
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,160
What about Mickey Flood?

941
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,480
I'm waiting to hear back
on the reverse trace.

942
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,840
We had a call at home early evening

943
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,360
the night he died,
but when I picked up

944
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,200
the receiver,
there was no-one there.

945
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,360
Do you think it was him?

946
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,200
He had my number
written in a matchbook.

947
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,240
Maybe he thought
I could do something for him

948
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:46,960
about this outstanding warrant.

949
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,480
Why would you?

950
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,120
Unless he had something to trade.

951
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,680
You didn't have to come.

952
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,120
I could've made my own way.

953
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,760
I just wanted to make sure
you got back safe.

954
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,160
All right, are you?

955
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,760
Can we stop somewhere?

956
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,320
You can't expect me to see her
straight, not right out of there.

957
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,280
You must know some place.
A copper, aren't you?

958
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:58,080
A career in music asks a lot
of a young person.

959
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,360
Hours of practice,

960
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,480
dedication.

961
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,600
Not everyone has the temperament.

962
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,680
She was in the same year
as Mabs Portman, I believe.

963
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,400
Mabs?

964
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,920
Oh, Mabel. The year above.

965
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,440
Were they close?
Not particularly.

966
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,240
12 months at that age
can seem like a lifetime.

967
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:26,320
But later, when Mabel switched
from the viola to the violin,

968
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,360
they had a lot more in common.

969
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,920
Was there anybody while she was here
that she was friendly with?

970
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,200
I'm trying to find someone
I can talk to about her later life.

971
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,920
Margeaux's best friend
was Rose Garland.

972
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,200
Enormously gifted.

973
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,680
She would have gone on
to great things.

974
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,400
What happened to her?

975
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,960
A swimming accident,
here in the lake.

976
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,440
It took a great toll on Margeaux.

977
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,080
Guilt is a terrible thing.

978
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,960
What did she have
to feel guilty about?

979
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,280
Being alive.

980
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,240
Take it easy, son.
You've got all day.

981
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,040
I wasn't coming home this morning.

982
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:17,960
Where were you gonna go?

983
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,640
Anywhere.
Somewhere away from everything.

984
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:27,120
Nobody's expecting you to carry
on living at home, a grown man.

985
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,240
But you've gotta have
somewhere to lay your head,

986
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,080
at least until you get a place
of your own.

987
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,680
Your mum's been worried sick.

988
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,880
What she does best.
You're everything to her,

989
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,160
to all of us,
but especially to your mother.

990
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,360
You could have sent her a line.

991
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:48,840
To say what?

992
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,320
Sorry that I flunked it...

993
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,240
..that I pissed my pants
and ran away, that I'm a coward?

994
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,800
You're not a coward. Don't say that!
You weren't any of those things.

995
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,240
You were just...

996
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,720
..not well.

997
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,280
Is that what you told
the neighbours?

998
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,960
You weren't yourself.
That's what I meant.

999
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,760
A mate killed,

1000
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,240
standing right next to you.
That would affect anyone.

1001
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,960
If it's any consolation,
I know what you've been through.

1002
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,840
No... you don't.

1003
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,280
You don't have the first idea,
so stop saying that.

1004
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,080
It's not all 'Roll Out The Barrel'
and 'Lili Marlene' any more.

1005
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:28,800
I know that.
Do you?

1006
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,240
The other side,
they don't wear a uniform.

1007
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,440
It's the bloke stood next to you
at the bar...

1008
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,320
..the girl you get off with
at the dance,

1009
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,520
a kid on a street corner.

1010
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,440
Do you want that?

1011
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,400
Oh, come here. Come here.
Hello, Mum.

1012
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,720
Oh!
Come on, don't fuss.

1013
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,680
Don't fuss?!

1014
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,560
I've been back and forth
to the window

1015
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,400
that many times,
I must've worn a rut in the carpet.

1016
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,200
What kept you?

1017
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,760
Traffic bad?
No, we went for a drink.

1018
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,760
Don't spoil your appetite.

1019
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,160
I'm doing a roast later.
I've got a nice piece of beef.

1020
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,040
I'm not hungry later, though, am I?

1021
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:37,560
Landesman?

1022
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:41,120
The company was sold or went broke,
didn't it, after Blenheim Vale?

1023
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,480
No-one's seen hide nor hair
of Joe Landesman in six years.

1024
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,400
I know, sir. The one that got away.

1025
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,680
There's talk from Interpol
he went abroad. Spain, Portugal.

1026
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,880
The company had property there.
Holiday hotels, I think.

1027
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,600
Surely, you're not suggesting

1028
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,720
he's anything to do with this man
found dead at Beaumont?

1029
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,920
It's just a coincidence
his mother happened to work

1030
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:04,760
for Landesman's firm, isn't it?

1031
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,560
Blenheim Vale is done with,
long since.

1032
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,800
VOICE-OVER: We weren't bad lads,
not really,

1033
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,840
but somehow we all ended up
at Blenheim Vale.

1034
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,640
Things happened there.

1035
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,560
Awful, terrible things.

1036
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:37,000
They wanted a name for whoever
burned out Wintergreen's car.

1037
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,480
I tried not to...

1038
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,560
One weekend, Big Pete went off.
He never came back!

1039
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,600
You think Peter Williams
was buried here?

1040
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,280
He's here... somewhere.

1041
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,360
I was born a copper...

1042
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,120
..and I'll die one, I expect.

1043
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,000
GUNSHOT

1044
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,040
All went well with your son?

1045
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,880
I think so, sir. Yes, thank you.

1046
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,920
You must be very glad
to have him home.

1047
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:16,600
KNOCK ON DOOR
Come in.

1048
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,280
Sorry to interrupt, sir,
but I thought you'd want to know.

1049
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,240
It's nuts, apparently,
she was allergic to.

1050
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,680
I just got off the phone with
Dr DeBryn about Miss Quincannon.

1051
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,200
He spoke to her GP.
All right. Carry on, Sergeant.

1052
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,120
The death at the concert, sir.

1053
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:34,680
Ah, just so.

1054
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,520
Anything further on Mickey Flood?

1055
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,160
Division were asking.

1056
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,560
It's early days, sir, but I've put
out a couple of feelers

1057
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,080
with some old colleagues in London.

1058
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,320
Well, whatever's behind it, we don't
want that kind of business here.

1059
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,360
Get to the bottom of it, Thursday,
fast,

1060
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,360
and stamp it out.

1061
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,360
Er, that's the phone box by
the railway under the bridge, right?

1062
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,120
Well, then, get a forensics team
out there and see what's what.

1063
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:34,680
Yeah.

1064
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,800
I found these
at Margeaux Quincannon's place

1065
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,240
amongst her sheet music.

1066
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,760
Hotel bills? Meaning?

1067
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:46,960
Meaning, I don't think

1068
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,000
the letter we found there yesterday
was intended

1069
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,280
for Alexander Lermontov.

1070
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:09,600
Give me a minute.

1071
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,360
So, what can I do for you?

1072
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,000
I wonder if you can tell us
why Miss Quincannon had your bill

1073
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,200
from the Englischer Hof
in her home.

1074
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,240
My hotel bill?
Mm-hm.

1075
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:21,840
No idea.
Really?

1076
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,600
Only we spoke to the manager,
and he remembers you both

1077
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,400
quite clearly, because much like
your current billet,

1078
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,360
rooms 352 and 354
had a connecting door.

1079
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,320
Miss Quincannon insisted upon it,
apparently.

1080
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:35,760
All right.

1081
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,520
So, we had a scene. So what?

1082
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:41,560
What goes on tour, you know?

1083
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,480
I don't see what that has to do
with the police.

1084
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,120
Miss Quincannon thought
your interest had moved on.

1085
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,160
She was jealous of the situation.

1086
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,640
That would be our interest.

1087
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,640
Look, I made it clear to Margeaux
at the start

1088
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:55,400
I'm a free agent.

1089
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,200
It was just..
No strings?

1090
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,040
Did she threaten to make

1091
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,920
your relationship more widely known
amongst the orchestra?

1092
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:04,760
Yes.

1093
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,520
But, so what? It's not like
either of us were married.

1094
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,120
I can't see that would have gone
over well with Lermontov,

1095
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:11,840
if Miss Quincannon had told him

1096
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:13,360
you'd set your sights

1097
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,280
on his latest protege.
We've just looked

1098
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,160
at the register, Mr Brathwaite.

1099
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,040
Or perhaps you weren't aware

1100
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,600
that that connecting door joins
to Miss Poole's room. In fact,

1101
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:26,080
shall we knock, see if she's in?
Look, if anyone was wise

1102
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,440
to Margeaux's little games,
it's Alex Lermontov,

1103
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,000
and I told her so. I called
her bluff, she didn't like it,

1104
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,680
so, instead, she made a big number

1105
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,520
about leaving
the Oxford Concert Orchestra

1106
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,120
for the Munich Symphony.

1107
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,640
Was she serious?
HE LAUGHS

1108
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,520
Of course not!
That's just how she was.

1109
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,760
Margeaux liked
to throw threats about.

1110
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,200
I heard her laying the same number
on Donald on the night she died.

1111
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:48,600
Donald Fischer, why? How's that?

1112
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,360
Just as we were about to go on,
I popped a collar stud,

1113
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,640
so I had to hurry back
to the green room for a replacement.

1114
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,320
They didn't see me,
but I overheard them.

1115
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,000
You're damn right we need to talk!

1116
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,600
I could finish you,
and don't you forget it.

1117
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,800
What did she threaten him with?

1118
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,280
I can't be sure,

1119
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,080
but when we were together,

1120
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,840
she told me she thought
he might be running

1121
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,600
some sort of... I don't know,
some sort of racket.

1122
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,120
What kind of racket?
Something to do

1123
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:19,640
with when the orchestra was touring.

1124
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,480
To be honest,
I didn't ask too many questions.

1125
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,120
She was always spitting poison
about someone or other.

1126
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,800
You want the full gen, talk to Mabs.

1127
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:30,480
Miss Portman?
Of course.

1128
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,200
Margeaux wouldn't belch
without Mabs saying, "Pardon."

1129
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,840
Margeaux did go backstage, yeah,
just as we were about to go on.

1130
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,040
Well, why was that?
Thank you.

1131
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,960
Erm, Lindsay's A-string
was playing up

1132
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,360
and she didn't have any peg dope,

1133
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,400
so Margs went to dig some
out of her case.

1134
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,920
But whatever Fergus may have
heard, I'm sure

1135
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:53,320
it was just a misunderstanding.

1136
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,320
Of what, Miss Portman?

1137
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,000
Margeaux had this idea

1138
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,400
that what the orchestra
was really being charged

1139
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,880
for travel and accommodation while
on tour was less than the amount

1140
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,000
that Donald was billing for.
And he was pocketing the difference?

1141
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,240
Yes, I...

1142
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,920
I can't believe he would ever do
anything like that.

1143
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,520
Donald is a wonderful
orchestra manager.

1144
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,440
But... well, Margeaux would get
these notions.

1145
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,800
And once she had an idea,
it was hard to shift.

1146
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:26,920
I refute the allegations, entirely.

1147
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,920
Well, Mr Fischer, at the risk
of sounding like Miss Rice-Davies,

1148
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,800
you would say that, wouldn't you?
Margeaux never understood

1149
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,600
that balancing the books sometimes
requires a little creativity.

1150
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,480
We prefer the word "fraud".

1151
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,200
If I have to rob Peter to pay Paul,

1152
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,800
people keep their jobs.
Very commendable, I'm sure.

1153
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,200
The earners, the foreign tours,

1154
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,000
that's what pays us to bring
'L'apres-midi D'un Faune'

1155
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,480
to a half-empty theatre
on a wet Tuesday night in Nantwich.

1156
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:51,600
And that is important,

1157
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,880
cos that one concert might mean
everything to someone.

1158
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:55,520
I know it did to me.
And if someone

1159
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,720
like Margeaux Quincannon
stood in the way of that...

1160
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,840
Margeaux wasn't a threat to me.
I had her number.

1161
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,960
Look, the truth of it is, I was
just about to give her notice.

1162
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,120
For what reason?

1163
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,760
I didn't think anything
when I saw her coming out.

1164
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,680
One can't really have the
orchestra leader sending hate mail

1165
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,720
to the guest soloist.
We had an idea as much.

1166
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,200
Did you talk to her about it?

1167
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,080
I would have done once I got
this week's concerts out of the way,

1168
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:34,760
but as it turned out...

1169
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,960
"Coroner Albert Lyons recorded
an open verdict

1170
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,200

01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,240

TELEVISION PLAYS

1190
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,720
So, you adopted Rose Garland?

1191
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:13,720
Evacuee, she was.

1192
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,760
I can still see her standing
in the church hall,

1193
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:22,160
luggage label threaded through
her buttonhole with her name on.

1194
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:28,240
She was just about as big
as the violin case she was holding.

1195
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,600
How was it you came to be
her guardians?

1196
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,560
Her mother and her grandparents
both caught it in the Blitz,

1197
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,360
and her dad in the Far East.
Hm.

1198
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:42,880
She had no other family to speak of,
so we took her on.

1199
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,200
But you didn't formally adopt her?
No.

1200
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,840
She called us Ma and Pops,

1201
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,080
but she had a right to her own name.

1202
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,880
The war had taken
everything else she had.

1203
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,840
We weren't gonna take that
away from her too.

1204
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,040
Rose had been close
with Margeaux Quincannon

1205
01:10:58,040 --> 01:10:59,880
while she was at the Belasco,
was that right?

1206
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:01,760
Devoted, they were.

1207
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:06,200
Was why I looked after her
when I ran into her again here.

1208
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,480
She was one of the nice ones.

1209
01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:12,200
We had no idea

1210
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,360
Rosie was unhappy.

1211
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,400
She never said.

1212
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,040
Years after,
I found one of the messages

1213
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:21,520
in the pocket of her blazer.

1214
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,320
They told her to kill herself.

1215
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,280
Too late to matter then.

1216
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,240
But Madame must've known.

1217
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,680
To turn a blind eye...

1218
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:37,080
You wouldn't happen to have kept
that message by any chance?

1219
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:38,640
Oh, yes.

1220
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,920
I kept everything, good and bad.

1221
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,840
All her certificates.

1222
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:47,680
You don't forget.

1223
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,320
Broke Harry's heart.

1224
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,800
TYRES SCREECH

1225
01:11:57,800 --> 01:11:59,400
HE TOOTS HORN

1226
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,480
Hello, Sam!

1227
01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:06,680
Morse!

1228
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:10,080
Sorry, I didn't see you.
Erm, I'm looking for Joan's.

1229
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:11,760
Has she moved?

1230
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,640
Jump in.

1231
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:20,800
Joanie!
Sam!

1232
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,120
Hm. Come here.

1233
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,840
You all right?
Hm. Need a pee.

1234
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,360
OK, er, down the hall, on the right.

1235
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,360
He said he wanted to come round.

1236
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,440
I wasn't sure whether to take him
to your parents'.

1237
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:42,320
Er... how is he?

1238
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,920
Oh, nothing that
a good night's sleep won't sort out.

1239
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,600
Says he's left the Army.
Yeah.

1240
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,000
Hm.

1241
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,480
And, erm, you're all right, are you?

1242
01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:54,520
Oh, yes.
You've been away.

1243
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,000
Ah, yeah.

1244
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,040
But you're back.
For now.

1245
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,000
Well, I... Oh, erm...

1246
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,400
I had some business at Burridges.

1247
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,360
I saw that you'd returned
some, erm... some bridal gloves.

1248
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,280
Have you got a wedding to go to?

1249
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:16,960
Bridesmaid?

1250
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,880
Or if you need an escort...
Morse...

1251
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:33,400
Oh.

1252
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,000
Well, congratulations.
Thank you.

1253
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,280
But who's the lucky man?

1254
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,680
Aye-aye. One in, one out.

1255
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:47,600
Thought you'd knocked off.

1256
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:50,760
I hear congratulations are in order.

1257
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,840
You and Miss Thursday.

1258
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,440
Oh, yeah. Thanks very much.

1259
01:13:55,440 --> 01:13:57,840
Joanie mentioned, did she?
Yeah.

1260
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:00,960
Keep it under your hat
for the minute, though, eh?

1261
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,320
With the old man and everything.
Same nick, and all that.

1262
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,800
Wouldn't want to leave him open
to accusations of anything.

1263
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,280
Of course. Heaven forbid!

1264
01:14:08,440 --> 01:14:11,000
I'll be needing a best man,
though, matey.

1265
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,520
Hoping I can rely on you.
Me?

1266
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,200
Who else?

1267
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,000
We've been up against it together
more times than I can count -

1268
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,640
and come through.

1269
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:21,800
You're the best man
any fella could have.

1270
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,680
And I know you'd never let me down.

1271
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,040
Just get me
to the church on time, eh?

1272
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,520
What can I get you, sir?
Pint of Morrell's, please.

1273
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,240
Ooh!

1274
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:46,880
Someone's up and at 'em.

1275
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,040
That's all very mafioso, isn't it?

1276
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,200
What have you got in there?
A tommy gun?

1277
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,040
If I'm right,
something just as deadly.

1278
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,880
I need you to run some tests for me.

1279
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:57,480
Rosin?

1280
01:16:57,480 --> 01:16:59,160
Mm-hm.
What's rosin when it's at home?

1281
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:00,520
Something to do with musicians,

1282
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,360
isn't it?
Yes, sir.

1283
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,480
It's solidified tree sap,
generally from conifers.

1284
01:17:05,480 --> 01:17:07,240
String players apply it
to their bows.

1285
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:08,280
Why?

1286
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,280
So it catches on the strings
and makes a sound.

1287
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,680
Without it, the instrument
wouldn't make any noise at all.

1288
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,960
And what's that to do
with Miss Quincannon's death?

1289
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,640
It's how she was killed, sir.

1290
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,480
She was allergic to it, is that what
you're saying? Something she used

1291
01:17:19,480 --> 01:17:21,480
all the time?
No, no. She was allergic

1292
01:17:21,480 --> 01:17:23,040
to what somebody's put in it.

1293
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,600
I think the killer melted down
the top of the stick

1294
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,560
sufficiently to then add
a top layer of the same,

1295
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,240
only this time,
containing ground nuts,

1296
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,360
then, at some point, substituted
the toxic stick

1297
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:35,920
for Miss Quincannon's own.

1298
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:39,680
Miss Quincannon would have applied

1299
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,960
the rosin containing
microscopic particles of nut

1300
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,800
to her bow
before the concert that evening.

1301
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,200
SHE GASPS

1302
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:08,640
Dr DeBryn has examined the violin

1303
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:10,320
and the stick of rosin
that was found

1304
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,040
in Miss Quincannon's case.
And?

1305
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,440
And the dust on the body
of the violin has tested positive

1306
01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:19,280
for nut particles, but the stick
of rosin itself is clear.

1307
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,200
So, someone swapped it back?

1308
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:22,920
Mm, presumably in the aftermath.

1309
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,280
Everyone overwhelmed
with shock and grief,

1310
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,600
nobody would notice what would be
the action of a moment.

1311
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:28,720
Well, if that's the how,

1312
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,000
I'm assuming you've a good idea
of the who.

1313
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,360
Yes, sir. Erm, I think some people
find out far too soon

1314
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:40,400
that life will divide us
into winners and everyone else.

1315
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:44,960
For those destined always to walk
a pace behind,

1316
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,360
to never have their moment
in the sun...

1317
01:18:48,440 --> 01:18:50,840
APPLAUSE

1318
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,640
And no urge stronger than the wish

1319
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:16,560
to be revenged upon the cause
of one's suffering.

1320
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,200
Madame will be so proud.

1321
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,000
Thank you.

1322
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,160
Thus, a cruel and spiteful campaign,

1323
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:36,040
which led to tragic consequences
a quarter of a century ago...

1324
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,960
..was destined to repeat itself
in the present.

1325
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,080
Quincannon drove the Garland girl
to kill herself. I get that.

1326
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,800
Mm-hm.
But who killed Quincannon?

1327
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:54,120
Well, I think it's one of the uglier
aspects of human nature,

1328
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,960
but even the least amongst us need
someone to look down on.

1329
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,440
It's a terrible thing
to be disregarded...

1330
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:06,720
..destined to never be more than,
at best, rank and file,

1331
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,400
to always be second choice...

1332
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,440
..second best...

1333
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:14,360
ORCHESTRA PLAYS
CLASSICAL MUSIC

1334
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,320
..second fiddle.

1335
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:17,880
Build, build.

1336
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,040
Excuse me, I'm sorry.

1337
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:46,880
Miss Portman.

1338
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:48,720
I believe you know

1339
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,960
why we're here. If you'd like
to come with me, please.

1340
01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:58,960
What's going on?

1341
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:06,880
You can leave the violin.

1342
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:15,880
Sorry to disturb.

1343
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,680
Men say, don't they,
about pairs of women

1344
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:31,160
they see out together in a bar
or a club or something...

1345
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,800
There's "the one,"
the "golden girl",

1346
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,000
with the looks and the personality.

1347
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,120
And there's the other one,

1348
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,040
the "friend".

1349
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:45,600
I was always the friend,

1350
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,440
at least where Margs was concerned.

1351
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:50,840
And I didn't mind that.

1352
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,840
The truth is,
I thought the world of Margeaux.

1353
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:58,240
A year older than me,
she was my heroine.

1354
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,200
I would have done anything for her.

1355
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,120
And you did.

1356
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:14,880
You helped cover up what she did

1357
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:18,160
that drove Rose Garland
to kill herself.

1358
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,600
It was you that helped Margeaux
convince the coroner

1359
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:23,440
that Rose Garland was unstable.

1360
01:22:23,440 --> 01:22:25,240
Why?

1361
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:31,520
So she'd notice me.

1362
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:35,480
I needed someone to notice me...

1363
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,120
..so that I knew I existed.

1364
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:46,200
And she did notice me.
We... We became inseparable.

1365
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:50,480
And what you covered up bound you
to each other for life.

1366
01:22:50,480 --> 01:22:53,680
So that,
every time she looked at you,

1367
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:57,840
she was reminded of what she'd done,
reminded of her guilt and shame.

1368
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,720
And as the years went by,
it just got worse.

1369
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:04,680
The... the digs, the sly knife.

1370
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:08,280
She couldn't forgive me,
but she couldn't let me go.

1371
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:09,840
But she recently put it about

1372
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,400
that she'd be leaving the orchestra
and maybe going to Munich.

1373
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,880
You could finally have stepped
out of her shadow.

1374
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:18,320
That was the breaking point for me.

1375
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,040
I stood everything else, but that...

1376
01:23:21,440 --> 01:23:24,600
Even now, I'm not sure she didn't do
the whole thing just to get at me...

1377
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:29,240
..you know, to build up my hopes,
only to smash them to pieces.

1378
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,360
We couldn't both go on living
like that.

1379
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,520
I couldn't face another day
with her, not like that.

1380
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,560
It was her or me.

1381
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:51,960
Except, what you covered up
wasn't just Margeaux's culpability

1382
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:55,000
in the death of Rose Garland,
but your own.

1383
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,680
No, that's Margeaux's handwriting.

1384
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,320
Perhaps,

1385
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:03,240
or a decent approximation of it,

1386
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,360
with the exception
of how the Is are dotted.

1387
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,960
But that's the alto clef,

1388
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,720
unique to the viola,

1389
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,360
your original instrument
before swapping to the violin.

1390
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,640
So you weren't just
a concerned friend

1391
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,240
that covered up for Margeaux.
You were an active participant.

1392
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,560
In fact, you went much further

1393
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:27,720
than her campaign of petty
and vindictive name calling.

1394
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:31,480
You told Rose Garland
to kill herself.

1395
01:24:31,480 --> 01:24:32,880
And she took you at your word.

1396
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,160
So, now you've two deaths
on your conscience.

1397
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:39,800
One we can charge you with now,

1398
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,600
and the other which I'm sure will
haunt you for the rest of your days.

1399
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,040
I didn't mean it.

1400
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:49,440
I didn't mean it, not like that.
I...

1401
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,960
I was a child.

1402
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,440
I was a lonely little girl.

1403
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,360
I just wanted a friend.

1404
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:13,200
Presumably, she removed the syringe
from Miss Quincannon's handbag.

1405
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,320
That'd be my reading of it, sir.

1406
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,040
Killed her in front
of over 700 witnesses,

1407
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,880
sat right next to her
the whole time.

1408
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:23,800
And this other business,

1409
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,560
the body at Beaumont College.

1410
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,560
Andrew Lewis.

1411
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,360
Inquiries are ongoing.

1412
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,080
Landesman, though?

1413
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:35,760
Blenheim Vale?

1414
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,080
I'd hoped we'd seen
the last of that.

1415
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,360
Bad business, Thursday.

1416
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:47,760
Bad business all round.

1417
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,560
Strange said you'd be in here.

1418
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:18,720
They said, er, the odd beer,
the odd short does no harm.

1419
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,120
Did they?
Mm.

1420
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,040
Everything in moderation, they said.

1421
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:27,160
Well...

1422
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:30,880
..I'm sure you know best.

1423
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,480
You spoke to Miss Poole?

1424
01:26:36,480 --> 01:26:38,320
Oh, yes, and Sir Alexander.

1425
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,040
I'll type up my notes
in the morning.

1426
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,400
Anything on Mickey Flood?

1427
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,360
I'm waiting to hear back
from my old oppo at Cable Street.

1428
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:48,200
Cos I was thinking,

1429
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:51,560
if he did come to Oxford
in order to trade you information

1430
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:55,080
in exchange for getting him
off this protection racket charge,

1431
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:59,200
then, clearly, whatever he had
was big enough to get him killed.

1432
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,080
So, why not sell it to some
London hat? Why you, I wondered.

1433
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:10,360
Well... I'm sure we'll get
to the bottom of it...

1434
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:13,640
..one way or another.

1435
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:17,560
Usual?

1436
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:20,480
No, er...

1437
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,680
..I won't, if it's all the same.

1438
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,920
I'm gonna push off,

1439
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,120
get back to Win and Sam,

1440
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,120
and Joan's coming round
for something to eat.

1441
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,120
Is she? Well, that'll be nice.

1442
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,680
Congratulations, by the way.
Hm?

1443
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,800
Not so much losing
a Detective Sergeant,

1444
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,600
but, er, gaining a son-in-law.

1445
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,560
Ah, Jim mentioned, did he?
No.

1446
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,120
Oh, Joanie, then?

1447
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,400
Yeah, I thought it best
if it came from them. To be honest,

1448
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,040
it had half slipped my mind,
with Sam coming home.

1449
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,200
I'm sure they'll be very happy.

1450
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:56,640
Let's hope so.

1451
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:01,040
Well, that's what it's all about
isn't it? So they tell me.

1452
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:02,920
Tomorrow, then.

1453
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,360
Yeah.

1454
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,480
Same again.

1455
01:28:08,480 --> 01:28:09,680
Yeah.

1456
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:13,880
Mind how you go.

1457
01:28:18,480 --> 01:28:21,480
It's good to have you back. I've...

1458
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:25,840
Good to have you back.

1459
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:01,200
