1
00:00:01,260 --> 00:00:02,910
# Denn Alles Fleisch

2
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:40,250
It gives me great pleasure
to launch Burridges.

3
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:42,780
Spring Into Summer fashion collection.

4
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:45,400
Diana! Diana, this way, please!

5
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:50,110
The simple fact that King Harold

6
00:00:50,110 --> 00:00:52,950
had to straightway hurry South
from Stamford Bridge

7
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:55,220
to repel the Norman invasion

8
00:00:55,220 --> 00:00:58,480
is perhaps the decisive factor
in William's victory.

9
00:00:59,650 --> 00:01:01,740
D...A...

10
00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:03,350
F...

11
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:05,400
T...N...

12
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,210
U...P.

13
00:01:07,210 --> 00:01:09,720
I have received a heartfelt appeal for

14
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Frida Yelland, of
Wantage in Oxfordshire,

15
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,570
to get in touch with her dad,
Bernard.

16
00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:17,190
Dad says he loves you
and misses you very much

17
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:19,490
and just wants to know you're all right.

18
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:24,840
When my late colleague, Tom Duggan,
took this seat in March,

19
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,210
it may have only been by 18 votes,

20
00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:29,500
but let me assure you

21
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:34,490
this constituency is more to me
than just a swing seat.

22
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,710
- It's my home.
- Well said!

23
00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:41,940
In...

24
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:44,880
Out...

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,610
In...

26
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:50,190
Out...

27
00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:05,600
Smoking? No.

28
00:02:06,610 --> 00:02:08,340
Drink?

29
00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:11,120
The odd glass.
Are you sleeping all right?

30
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,970
Diana?

31
00:02:20,970 --> 00:02:22,500
Diana? Dinner, dear.

32
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:24,470
Yes, Mrs Todd.

33
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,370
Don't want too late of a night,
dear, do we? Not with tomorrow.

34
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:28,820
Five minutes, Mrs Todd.

35
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:30,330
Don't fret yourself, Mu.

36
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:32,160
It's a woman's prerogative.

37
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:11,440
# Denn alles Fleisch

38
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,160
# Es ist wie Gras

39
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:25,800
# Und alle Herrlichkeit...

40
00:03:28,670 --> 00:03:31,520
Now some traffic news just in.

41
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,770
Drivers travelling to Oxford are

42
00:03:33,770 --> 00:03:36,430
advised to avoid the centre of town,

43
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:38,620
where a pageant marking 900 years...

44
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:40,860
Someone's got a spring in his step.

45
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:43,920
Have they?
Starts back again today, doesn't he?

46
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,730
Properly, I mean. At the station.

47
00:03:45,730 --> 00:03:47,860
Well, if the medic's passed him A1.

48
00:03:48,790 --> 00:03:51,560
Fred. Remember what you said after
that drink?

49
00:03:53,370 --> 00:03:55,630
I'll get it!

50
00:03:55,630 --> 00:03:57,360
Don't expect too much. Come in.

51
00:03:59,730 --> 00:04:01,420
You've lost weight.

52
00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:03,840
What have they been feeding you
out at Witney?

53
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,530
Mockery and humiliation, mostly.

54
00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:09,190
Morse. Sir.

55
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,800
How's the leg?

56
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,820
Oh, fine. Fine.

57
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:18,970
We'd have kept you on at the station,
if I'd had my way. It was erm...

58
00:04:19,930 --> 00:04:21,950
The budget. I know.

59
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:26,570
Something about carrying dead wood,
wasn't it, Mr Bright said?

60
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,260
You might want to avoid The Broad...

61
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:36,510
cos of the parade..

62
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,180
Today this city celebrates
900 years of history.

63
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:49,450
900 years since these islands
fell beneath the Norman yoke.

64
00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:52,990
It says something, perhaps,
for the bulldog spirit,

65
00:04:52,990 --> 00:04:57,060
that we've never been conquered
again - though many have tried.

66
00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:00,600
Ah!

67
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,620
I would also like to welcome
back to the station DC Morse...

68
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:09,290
who, after four months
counting paperclips at County,

69
00:05:09,290 --> 00:05:12,470
returns to us - the FME assures me -
much restored.

70
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:14,480
Very well, carry on.

71
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:33,920
You'll be pleased to be off light
duties

72
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,010
and returned to your more general
responsibilities, no doubt.

73
00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:39,870
Sir.
Well, eventful year for you -

74
00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:41,400
one way or another.

75
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,980
Mm? Shot. The opera lunatic.

76
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,840
And then, to top it all, your
father.

77
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,970
Damned bad luck.

78
00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:53,720
But back on the horse, yes?

79
00:05:55,850 --> 00:05:57,740
Carry on.

80
00:05:57,740 --> 00:05:59,910
When you have a minute, Thursday.

81
00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:04,420
I'll leave you to get settled in.

82
00:06:08,690 --> 00:06:10,620
How is he?

83
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,710
I ask with no side.

84
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,330
He's young.

85
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:18,340
He'll mend.

86
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,470
The ABC said that she handed in her
cards the previous Friday.

87
00:06:45,470 --> 00:06:49,250
I know my daughter. Frida wouldn't
just go away and not tell me.

88
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:52,990
It was planned, then, not like she
just disappeared off the street?

89
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,250
Look...

90
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,070
Leave it with us.

91
00:07:00,070 --> 00:07:02,290
Any news, we'll let you know.

92
00:07:02,290 --> 00:07:04,620
My colleague will see you out.
Morse?

93
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,420
It's Mr Yelland, isn't it?
From Wantage?

94
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:18,550
You came into Witney last week.

95
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:20,720
I've been all over.

96
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:23,300
What makes you think
that Frida's come to Oxford?

97
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:25,390
Well... I don't know she has.

98
00:07:25,390 --> 00:07:26,920
I'm just trying everywhere.

99
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,150
She'd have called or wrote sooner'n

100
00:07:29,150 --> 00:07:31,750
fret me like this if she was going off.

101
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:34,120
Oh, damn. Uh...

102
00:07:34,130 --> 00:07:37,260
I meant to give this to the other fella.

103
00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:41,090
Can you help me? Please.

104
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:43,060
Yeah, of course.

105
00:07:43,060 --> 00:07:45,230
Try not to worry.

106
00:07:49,540 --> 00:07:52,030
Anything in it? Two weeks?

107
00:07:52,030 --> 00:07:55,170
Girl's free, white, single and over 21.

108
00:07:56,540 --> 00:07:58,470
Probably run off with the milkman.

109
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:26,160
Get off me!

110
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,970
It's just a bit of paint, that's all.

111
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:29,900
Stay calm.

112
00:08:31,230 --> 00:08:33,240
Come along, miss.

113
00:08:46,890 --> 00:08:48,050
Morse.

114
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:50,870
Hello, matey.

115
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:53,810
You're a sight for sore eyes and no
mistake. Back full time?

116
00:08:53,810 --> 00:08:55,860
Looks like it. What did I miss?

117
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:58,680
You heard about my Sergeants',
I suppose?

118
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,130
Three lousy points.
If at first...

119
00:09:01,130 --> 00:09:03,180
Yeah. Give up.

120
00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:05,280
Right. Brace yourself.

121
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,410
It's a bit uh...

122
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,090
All right.

123
00:09:12,220 --> 00:09:13,990
Wait a minute.

124
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:20,870
Name? Oh, take your pick.

125
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:23,160
Has about two dozen different business cards.

126
00:09:26,380 --> 00:09:27,750
Witnesses?

127
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:31,770
The traffic warden was writing a ticket
when he hit, but nobody saw him jump.

128
00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:35,030
The porter says access to the roof
is easy enough

129
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,130
if people are of a mind to go up there.

130
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,350
Off heights, are we?

131
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:53,490
Lately. Funnily enough.

132
00:09:56,970 --> 00:09:58,500
Mmm.

133
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:00,390
Not how I'd "my own quietus make", but

134
00:10:00,390 --> 00:10:02,320
he wouldn't have known much about it.

135
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,530
Instantaneous.

136
00:10:03,530 --> 00:10:05,230
Dead before his mind had a chance

137
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:07,030
to catch up with the rest of him.

138
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:10,170
What do you make to these?
Commonly removed in suicides.

139
00:10:10,170 --> 00:10:14,270
Automatic gesture. And, of course,
the added benefit in this instance,

140
00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:17,250
is that he wouldn't have seen
what was coming towards him.

141
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:18,500
Cause?

142
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:20,670
Something of a salmagundi.

143
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,650
"Multiple catastrophic injuries" do
you to be going on with?

144
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:27,590
Chapter and verse once I've had a
rummage.

145
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:30,010
Nothing suspicious? Only you.

146
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:34,230
Morse.

147
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:40,750
They're just jealous.

148
00:10:40,750 --> 00:10:42,600
Now, what have I told you, hm?

149
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,510
When people say or do nasty things,
what do you do?

150
00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:48,360
Stare back and smile.

151
00:10:50,050 --> 00:10:51,740
Any word as to what was behind it?

152
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:54,270
Someone said perhaps a falling
out over a boyfriend?

153
00:10:54,270 --> 00:10:57,170
Diana doesn't have a boyfriend.
She's waiting for Mr Right.

154
00:10:57,170 --> 00:10:59,060
But, listen, what I can tell you

155
00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:02,320
is that she's shooting a commercial
for the television on Friday

156
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,650
with the racing driver, Danny Griffon?

157
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:06,180
Oh? What's it for, Tone?

158
00:11:06,190 --> 00:11:09,400
Sunlight Soap powder. Formula 1.

159
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,950
Big new campaign. It's very "now", it's very
"with it" and Diana's very excited about it.

160
00:11:13,950 --> 00:11:16,730
As to anything else, we're just
here to run a competition.

161
00:11:16,730 --> 00:11:19,300
The Oxford heat's still going ahead?
Absolutely.

162
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:22,720
Otherwise there would be dozens of
disappointed young beautiful ladies.

163
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,630
So the show must go on and it will
do at Cowley Lido, on Monday night.

164
00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:28,880
Thanks ever so much. Thank you.

165
00:11:32,140 --> 00:11:34,350
How is she?

166
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,700
I'd like five minutes
with those stupid little bitches.

167
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:42,720
We're thinking suicide currently,
sir.

168
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,820
But, obviously, more news to follow.

169
00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:47,670
What's the word on Icarus, then?

170
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:51,820
Um... multiple catastrophic injuries,
according to Dr DeBryn.

171
00:11:51,820 --> 00:11:54,720
But we'll know more once he's
completed the post mortem.

172
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,970
You're... up to that? Wouldn't want
to overface you first day back.

173
00:11:57,980 --> 00:12:00,870
I'm fine, sir.
Once more unto the breach, eh?

174
00:12:00,870 --> 00:12:02,480
Excellent.

175
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,820
Well, splendid you're settling back
in.

176
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:07,070
Splendid.

177
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,650
Absence makes...

178
00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:14,160
There should be a notebook.

179
00:12:16,330 --> 00:12:18,460
There was a notebook at the scene.

180
00:12:19,310 --> 00:12:21,520
What's there's what came back, mate.

181
00:12:22,690 --> 00:12:23,770
Receipts?

182
00:12:23,770 --> 00:12:26,910
For petrol and motor oil
from a garage out towards Shotover.

183
00:12:26,910 --> 00:12:29,850
Another for breakfast
at Lyons on Carfax this morning.

184
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:32,710
Why would a man planning on killing
himself want receipts?

185
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:35,890
Force of habit? He'd also tied a
bit of string around his finger.

186
00:12:35,890 --> 00:12:38,340
A reminder to do something,
wouldn't you think?

187
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:41,360
Maybe he'd done it. Either way,
we need to know who he was.

188
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,580
All right. Stick with it.
See what you can dig up.

189
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:47,310
Thank you, sir. Not back off
light duties five minutes

190
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,610
and already it's foul play.

191
00:12:49,610 --> 00:12:51,780
Just like old times.

192
00:13:06,730 --> 00:13:08,870
All right? Hello, sir.

193
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:11,000
Uh... Oxford Police.

194
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,770
Much trade?

195
00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:15,790
Not since the bypass.

196
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,700
Holiday camp round the back
had it worse. Closed now.

197
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:23,030
Sold three cans of oil yesterday.

198
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,890
A youngster round lunch,
a woman after tea

199
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:30,400
and Mr Meeker about eight.

200
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,450
How old would he be, Mr Meeker?

201
00:13:33,330 --> 00:13:35,510
Reckon he was about early forties.

202
00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:38,240
Biggish fella.

203
00:13:40,380 --> 00:13:42,270
What was he driving?

204
00:13:42,270 --> 00:13:45,040
Lincoln... Continental.

205
00:13:45,970 --> 00:13:48,580
Did he make any mention
of where he was headed...

206
00:13:48,590 --> 00:13:50,640
ask for directions or...?
No. No.

207
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,660
Didn't need to.
Stopped here, didn't he?

208
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:59,570
How long had he checked in for?
Last night and tonight.

209
00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:03,470
Did he give a home address?
In the register.

210
00:14:03,470 --> 00:14:06,310
He's stayed once or twice, I think,
last few weeks.

211
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:07,700
Dentist.

212
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,080
Thanks.

213
00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:51,520
900 years of history... and the best
that they can come up with

214
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,390
to represent the contribution my sex made
to this nation is Miss Great Britain?

215
00:14:58,390 --> 00:15:00,960
Have you got a daughter?

216
00:15:00,970 --> 00:15:04,220
What I might or might not have
isn't at issue, miss.

217
00:15:04,220 --> 00:15:08,010
So you'd be happy to see her on the back
of a float with everybody staring at her?

218
00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:11,210
You letting off your starter pistol put
a lot of folk in fear of their lives.

219
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:12,390
Fear?

220
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,850
Do you know how many women are beaten
or die in this country each week,

221
00:15:15,850 --> 00:15:18,150
at the hands of their boyfriends,
or husbands or fathers?

222
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:21,250
As a matter of fact, miss, I do.
Probably better than you.

223
00:15:23,810 --> 00:15:25,740
Fractured skull.

224
00:15:25,740 --> 00:15:27,750
Lacerated aorta.

225
00:15:32,660 --> 00:15:34,710
Any of which would've done for him.

226
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,970
Stomach contents?

227
00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:39,620
The full English.

228
00:15:39,620 --> 00:15:44,690
About an hour before he put Sir Isaac's
Law of Universal Gravitation to the test.

229
00:15:44,690 --> 00:15:46,380
Any word as to who he was?

230
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:48,760
Name's Meeker.

231
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,770
Dentist, apparently.

232
00:15:50,770 --> 00:15:55,240
With teeth like that? I've seen
better gnashers running at Uttoxeter.

233
00:16:02,860 --> 00:16:05,400
You didn't have a notebook come in,
did you?

234
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,730
There was a notebook at the scene of
the crime,

235
00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:10,390
on the roof of the car,
amongst his personal effects.

236
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:13,000
I'm a pathologist, not a road
sweeper.

237
00:16:13,930 --> 00:16:17,070
If something's been pinched,
I should call the police.

238
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,620
Good afternoon. This is Detective
Constable Morse, Oxford City Police.

239
00:16:36,630 --> 00:16:40,490
Would I be right in thinking this is
the dental practice of a Mr Meeker?

240
00:16:42,780 --> 00:16:44,550
It was?

241
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,010
I see.

242
00:16:48,010 --> 00:16:50,910
What age was Mr Meeker
at the time of his decease?

243
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,340
The Jeremiahs say to me, "Barbara,
three elections in two years."

244
00:16:56,340 --> 00:16:58,030
The voters have had enough."

245
00:16:58,030 --> 00:17:02,260
We're sitting there in Parliament
on a 90-odd majority.

246
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:05,640
I think you know exactly what the
danger is.

247
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,270
We give an inch of ground back to the
Tories and they'll thieve a yard!

248
00:17:10,270 --> 00:17:12,480
Here, here.

249
00:17:16,380 --> 00:17:18,070
Ah, Thursday. Come in.

250
00:17:18,070 --> 00:17:20,450
May I present Captain and Mrs
Batten.

251
00:17:20,450 --> 00:17:23,430
Detective Inspector Thursday.
How do you do?

252
00:17:23,430 --> 00:17:26,680
Mr Batten owns the paint factory
on the Botley Road.

253
00:17:26,690 --> 00:17:28,820
The Saucies? What?

254
00:17:28,820 --> 00:17:32,080
The Worcestershire Regiment,
Chief Superintendent.

255
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,330
My tie. Burma?

256
00:17:34,330 --> 00:17:36,500
You? North Africa.

257
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,710
Italy.

258
00:17:37,710 --> 00:17:40,810
Well, unfortunately, it appears
Mr and Mrs Batten's daughter

259
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:44,630
is amongst the group we're holding in
connection with that incident this morning.

260
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:45,720
Kitty.

261
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,900
She attends Lady Matilda's, but
Captain and Mrs Batten have brought

262
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:52,760
a letter from her tutor
in Medieval Studies at Beaufort.

263
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,820
He assures me she's a person
of previous good character.

264
00:17:55,820 --> 00:17:57,670
I think he says "exemplary".

265
00:17:57,670 --> 00:18:02,220
"A Running Blue, Cupper, and likely
prospect for Mexico in the 800."

266
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,020
If she's done something wrong...
Barb...

267
00:18:05,020 --> 00:18:08,400
she should face the consequences,
Archie, the same as anyone else.

268
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,490
Admirably expressed, Mrs Batten.

269
00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:14,920
However, not everyone else's mother has
been selected to stand for Parliament.

270
00:18:16,450 --> 00:18:18,540
They've been released? All of 'em?

271
00:18:18,540 --> 00:18:20,870
"The quality of mercy," Mr Bright
says.

272
00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:23,850
The quality of Captain Batten's
backhand, more like.

273
00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:27,880
Assistant Chief Constable's doubles
partner in the Seniors' Round Robin.

274
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,130
His paint firm sponsors the Annual
Police Widows and Orphans.

275
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:32,780
Yeah, well, there you go.

276
00:18:32,790 --> 00:18:35,920
Same as I was telling Strange.
It's not what you know. Morse.

277
00:18:36,850 --> 00:18:39,140
Pint of?
No, I'm not stopping, thanks.

278
00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:41,920
I just wanted to report on
the garage at Shotover.

279
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,490
How'd you make out?

280
00:18:43,490 --> 00:18:47,350
Well, according to the owner, Meeker's
stayed there three times this last month.

281
00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:51,420
Meeker amongst his business cards,
wasn't there? Dentist. Swiss Cottage.

282
00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:54,470
He died - two years ago.

283
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,490
Some sort of con artist?
Possibly.

284
00:18:56,490 --> 00:18:58,460
I found this on his bedside table.

285
00:18:59,670 --> 00:19:02,320
98018. What's that? A telephone
number?

286
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,660
It's unobtainable, if it is. I've
tried it.

287
00:19:04,660 --> 00:19:06,510
D-Day? Friday?

288
00:19:06,510 --> 00:19:09,040
Well, you've got that wrong.
D-Day was on a Tuesday.

289
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,650
What's with the Friday, then?

290
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:12,950
Something he had to do tomorrow,
perhaps?

291
00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:15,160
I wondered if it mightn't be Friday
at all.

292
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,260
Well, there's a young girl's gone
missing from Wantage.

293
00:19:18,260 --> 00:19:21,720
Frida Yelland. I thought, rather than
Friday, it could be...

294
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,890
"FRIDA Y", couldn't it?

295
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,190
Or it could just be Friday.

296
00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:30,370
You're keen to get back in the
swing, and that's to be commended...

297
00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:32,340
But?

298
00:19:33,830 --> 00:19:37,570
Tying in a suicide to a missing girl
off the back of a single word?

299
00:19:37,570 --> 00:19:41,160
Got to admit that's a bit of a
stretch - even by your standards.

300
00:19:43,290 --> 00:19:45,340
"Suspected" suicide, isn't it?

301
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,650
In any event, we'd be
better placed to know if

302
00:19:50,670 --> 00:19:53,330
certain of his possessions
hadn't taken a walk.

303
00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:55,680
What's that?

304
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,180
Meeker's notebook's gone missing.

305
00:19:58,180 --> 00:20:00,710
Somewhere between the scene
and the Exhibits desk.

306
00:20:00,710 --> 00:20:03,730
Could be the Coroner's men swept it
up with the rest of the detritus

307
00:20:03,730 --> 00:20:06,130
when they bagged the body.
Who was in charge there?

308
00:20:06,130 --> 00:20:08,920
Strange. Although I am not saying...

309
00:20:13,070 --> 00:20:17,020
Well, I'll have a word with Mr
Bright in any case.

310
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:21,240
Can't have uniform falling down on
their duty.

311
00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:24,300
Right, then.

312
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:25,830
Let's see...

313
00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:28,450
Thursday. Must be...?

314
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,690
Ham and tomato.

315
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:40,920
Kitty! Kitty! What?

316
00:20:41,850 --> 00:20:43,900
Didn't you think what this might
mean?

317
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:47,040
For you? For the family?
I thought you might understand.

318
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,330
Approve even.
Don't you want things to change?

319
00:20:49,330 --> 00:20:52,110
Of course I do. What the hell do you
think I'm standing for?

320
00:20:52,110 --> 00:20:56,620
My God. You think you'd be standing
at all if some old man hadn't died?

321
00:20:58,180 --> 00:21:02,010
If the party really gave a damn, they'd
have selected you for the general,

322
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:04,300
not in some bloody "also ran"
by-election.

323
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,440
Kitty... It doesn't matter
whether you win or lose.

324
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,410
It's just a game.
Yes, it's their game!

325
00:21:09,410 --> 00:21:11,700
And you're playing it.

326
00:21:11,710 --> 00:21:15,210
It's 1966, Mother. You don't have to
wait to be asked to dance any more.

327
00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:17,780
Wait with the car. I'll see her into
her tutorial.

328
00:21:17,780 --> 00:21:20,360
I'd sooner you didn't come in.
I'm a big girl.

329
00:21:24,910 --> 00:21:27,920
Did Frida ever mention a man called
Meeker, Mr Yelland?

330
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,450
Raymond Meeker?

331
00:21:29,450 --> 00:21:31,140
About 45 years old.

332
00:21:31,140 --> 00:21:33,680
Might have described himself as a
dentist.

333
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,730
Drove a Lincoln Continental.

334
00:21:36,050 --> 00:21:38,670
One of the girls she worked with
at Aerated Bread

335
00:21:38,670 --> 00:21:41,650
said that she thought she saw Frida
in Oxford with an older man.

336
00:21:42,690 --> 00:21:44,910
When was this? Since she's been
missing?

337
00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:48,040
Few weeks before. I told 'em at
Kidlington.

338
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,100
I thought I'd told 'em at Witney.

339
00:21:50,620 --> 00:21:52,190
It's got that I've told so many,

340
00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:55,370
I don't know what I've said,
and what I haven't, and to who.

341
00:21:56,490 --> 00:21:58,750
Why? Do you think you've got
something?

342
00:21:59,430 --> 00:22:01,730
With this Meeker fella?

343
00:22:02,970 --> 00:22:06,600
For a moment... It's just something
I'm looking at.

344
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,980
It's probably nothing.

345
00:22:24,690 --> 00:22:26,210
Diana?

346
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:28,710
Diana?

347
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,760
Shh.

348
00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:38,430
Ah, Thursday!

349
00:22:38,430 --> 00:22:42,730
Town Hall have made a request of Division
for additional security at this...

350
00:22:42,730 --> 00:22:44,950
girl competition - whatever it is.

351
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:47,080
I'd like someone from CID on it.
Sir?

352
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,940
Just a few hours of an evening. Making
sure the contestants go unmolested.

353
00:22:52,030 --> 00:22:54,240
You're taking a chance.

354
00:22:58,190 --> 00:23:00,240
Don't let Muriel catch you.

355
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,410
Hark who's talking.

356
00:23:16,180 --> 00:23:18,190
Oh...

357
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,290
Hi. Hello.

358
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:36,900
I'm Monica.

359
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:38,590
With the moped.

360
00:23:38,590 --> 00:23:40,320
From across the way.

361
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,130
Morse.

362
00:23:42,130 --> 00:23:45,070
Sorry to knock, but... you haven't
got a tanner, have you?

363
00:23:45,070 --> 00:23:48,450
I've something on the stove to warm,
and the gas has gone.

364
00:23:48,450 --> 00:23:49,900
Come in.

365
00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:52,830
I'll let you have it back.

366
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,370
Call it quits if you've a tin opener
I can borrow.

367
00:23:55,370 --> 00:23:57,300
Just moved in, haven't you?

368
00:23:57,300 --> 00:23:59,070
Weekend before last.

369
00:23:59,070 --> 00:24:01,530
I'll fetch the opener.

370
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,330
You wouldn't have an iron, would you?

371
00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:08,110
Mine's given up the ghost.

372
00:24:08,110 --> 00:24:10,440
Stretching that sixpence, aren't
you?

373
00:24:13,380 --> 00:24:15,430
How is he?

374
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,690
Bit ring-rusty maybe.

375
00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:21,990
Soon work that off.

376
00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:25,690
Fred, when you came back from that
drink with him, you were worried sick.

377
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,470
I don't know I'd go that far.
Yes, you were.

378
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,970
What was it you said?

379
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:34,630
"The light's gone out of him."

380
00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:36,440
Has it?

381
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:43,820
So... What do you do?

382
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:46,120
What do you think I do?

383
00:24:47,170 --> 00:24:49,460
A teacher, maybe.

384
00:24:49,460 --> 00:24:51,310
In the colleges.

385
00:24:51,310 --> 00:24:53,440
All these books.

386
00:24:55,820 --> 00:24:58,430
Are you? I'm a policeman.

387
00:24:58,430 --> 00:25:01,770
You don't look like a policeman.
Hm. What do policemen look like?

388
00:25:01,770 --> 00:25:03,540
Not like you.

389
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,650
Thanks for the opener.

390
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:12,160
Welcome. I'll, erm...

391
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,770
Night.

392
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:17,710
Good night.

393
00:25:34,790 --> 00:25:37,650
Someone get the police!
There's been a robbery!

394
00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:43,850
Theft was discovered shortly after
seven this morning by one of the porters.

395
00:25:43,850 --> 00:25:47,430
When were they last seen? Before the
college was locked. Around eleven.

396
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:50,210
Nobody in or out in between.
Inside job, then.

397
00:25:50,210 --> 00:25:52,260
If the place was shut tight.

398
00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:57,570
Since you're wearing a hat, might
one assume that you're in charge?

399
00:25:57,570 --> 00:25:59,100
DI Thursday, sir. City Police.

400
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,960
Might we assume the same of you,
Mr...? Doctor.

401
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,410
Copley-Barnes. I'm the Macullen
Chair.

402
00:26:04,410 --> 00:26:05,940
Medieval Studies.

403
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:07,870
And this isn't a hat. It's a bonnet.

404
00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:12,500
My colleague, Dr Speight. Senior Research
Fellow in AngloSaxon Antiquities.

405
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:15,160
How do you do?
What's been stolen exactly?

406
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,570
Speight?

407
00:26:16,570 --> 00:26:19,630
Come on, man. This is you.
Ah. Yes, well, erm...

408
00:26:20,830 --> 00:26:25,780
We... We've an excellent photographic
record of the exhibits, as you can see.

409
00:26:25,780 --> 00:26:26,950
Uh...

410
00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:31,010
The quality of the objects, together
with certain runic inscriptions,

411
00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:32,820
suggests they belonged to a thegn

412
00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:36,650
or high-ranking housecarl in the
retinue of King Harold Godwinson.

413
00:26:36,650 --> 00:26:38,540
King Harold that got it in the eye?

414
00:26:38,540 --> 00:26:40,500
And people decry the merits
of the Secondary Modern!

415
00:26:40,510 --> 00:26:42,480
Yes, Constable, even he.

416
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,620
The centrepiece is a golden helmet,

417
00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:50,250
known - by dint of the chief archaeologist's
taste for Wagner - as the Tarnhelm.

418
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:53,910
A spearhead.

419
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,450
A Dane axe. Various arm-torcs.

420
00:26:57,450 --> 00:27:01,190
What Speight's trying to say, in his
scenic way, is that the swag constitutes

421
00:27:01,190 --> 00:27:04,330
all the major finds
from the Second Wolvercote Trove.

422
00:27:04,330 --> 00:27:06,180
Yes? The which, sir?

423
00:27:06,180 --> 00:27:08,520
You're familiar, presumably, with
the dig of '31,

424
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,700
which unearthed a late-Saxon belt
buckle now in the Ashmolean?

425
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:15,200
I can't imagine a working knowledge
of the Historia ecclesiastica

426
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,530
looms large in the Hendon
curriculum.

427
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:21,240
I can't imagine it would do us very
much good if it did.

428
00:27:21,340 --> 00:27:26,530
I beg your pardon? The Historia
ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum -

429
00:27:26,530 --> 00:27:28,100
to give it its full title -

430
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:31,350
appeared 335 years before
the events with which

431
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,620
this exhibition is
concerned took place.

432
00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:38,440
Venerable the Bede may have been,
but not clairvoyant.

433
00:27:39,370 --> 00:27:41,580
Please, Dr Speight, do go on.

434
00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:46,210
Get uniform cracking on the movement
of everyone in college

435
00:27:46,210 --> 00:27:49,430
between the time the place was locked
up and when the loot was missed.

436
00:27:49,430 --> 00:27:50,640
Sir.

437
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,340
Sir. That uh... suicide
that went off the Rates Office roof.

438
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:57,000
There was an exhibition guide
in his personal effects.

439
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,610
Half of Oxford's got one, I
shouldn't wonder.

440
00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:01,740
I spoke to Mr Yelland.

441
00:28:01,740 --> 00:28:03,880
The father of the missing girl -
Frida.

442
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,940
He said that one of her colleagues at work
had seen her in Oxford with an older man.

443
00:28:07,940 --> 00:28:10,440
What if that older man
was the body that we found?

444
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,970
What if?

445
00:28:11,970 --> 00:28:15,100
We've got three cases.
Three separate cases.

446
00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:17,760
A suicide, a missing girl,
and now a robbery.

447
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,220
You want to lump all three together
because he had an exhibition guide

448
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:23,110
and wrote "Friday" on a piece of
paper?

449
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:24,320
Well...

450
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,490
It could be today, couldn't it?

451
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:28,100
Friday.

452
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:29,990
The day of the robbery.

453
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:33,660
Two minutes ago you said it was this
missing girl, Frida Yelland. Which is it?

454
00:28:33,660 --> 00:28:35,060
I... I don't know.

455
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,010
You don't have to prove anything.

456
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:43,150
Just having you back in one piece
is enough to be going on with.

457
00:28:43,150 --> 00:28:44,640
All right?

458
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:49,030
I'm gonna have a word with the
porter.

459
00:28:51,950 --> 00:28:54,880
Oh, hello, stranger.
They let you out, then?

460
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,490
Good behaviour.

461
00:28:56,490 --> 00:28:58,870
You? How are you?

462
00:28:58,870 --> 00:29:00,880
Operational.

463
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,060
There's been a robbery, hasn't there?
To do with the Wolvercote Trove.

464
00:29:05,060 --> 00:29:08,000
The college wouldn't want us
to go into details, Miss Frazil.

465
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,420
Any chance there's a connection
to yesterday's larks in The Broad?

466
00:29:11,420 --> 00:29:14,920
One of the girls has a connection to
Beaufort but no-one's naming names.

467
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,420
What do you hear?
I hear very little.

468
00:29:17,420 --> 00:29:21,040
And divulge even less. It really
doesn't matter what you tell me.

469
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,660
We've had orders from on high
that it's a non-story.

470
00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:30,800
Miss Batten?

471
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,970
Detective Constable Morse, City
Police.

472
00:29:33,820 --> 00:29:36,960
I wondered if I might ask you a few
questions. About last night.

473
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,690
Last night?

474
00:29:38,690 --> 00:29:41,750
Someone stole a sizeable portion
of the Wolvercote Trove.

475
00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:43,720
Did they?

476
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,220
Well, there's one in the eye
for Copley-Barnes.

477
00:29:47,220 --> 00:29:49,110
Quite literally.

478
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,090
My tutor. Yes, I know.

479
00:29:53,980 --> 00:29:56,070
You don't care for him?

480
00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:58,170
Not as much as he'd like.

481
00:30:00,380 --> 00:30:03,400
My God, you don't think
I'm something to do with it?

482
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,620
Well, I think you made quite a spectacle
of yourself on The Broad yesterday.

483
00:30:07,620 --> 00:30:09,920
Feel you didn't make your point
strongly enough?

484
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,410
That was different. Was it?

485
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:14,850
In 1913, Mary Richardson
walked into the

486
00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:17,320
National Gallery and
slashed the Rokeby Venus.

487
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,330
All in a good cause.

488
00:30:20,060 --> 00:30:22,870
Can anyone vouch for your whereabouts
yesterday evening?

489
00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:24,280
No.

490
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,630
Oh, actually, I called home at about
half-past ten to speak to Mother,

491
00:30:28,630 --> 00:30:30,640
but Father said she was out.

492
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,890
Campaigning or... I don't know.

493
00:30:32,890 --> 00:30:35,510
I just wanted people to see the
truth.

494
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,900
There's more to women than an
empty head and a Colgate smile.

495
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:42,720
But it's futile.
Nothing's going to change.

496
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,100
I'll walk away from Oxford with a
degree - and for what?

497
00:30:47,110 --> 00:30:48,920
An occupation...

498
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,890
Housewife.

499
00:31:00,230 --> 00:31:02,360
Am I selfish, Archie?

500
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,410
Have I been?

501
00:31:04,410 --> 00:31:06,140
With all this?

502
00:31:07,550 --> 00:31:10,040
I know it's been hard on you and
Kitty.

503
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,260
It's my fault.
She's her mother's daughter.

504
00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:16,880
Headstrong, brave... smart as they
come.

505
00:31:16,890 --> 00:31:19,540
Not much of a fault where I'm
standing.

506
00:31:19,540 --> 00:31:22,440
Any other circumstance and I would
have been cheering her on.

507
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,250
She does know that?

508
00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:25,820
It's just...

509
00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:28,800
When you believe in something...

510
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,900
I had to try for it.

511
00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:35,110
Know what I believe in?

512
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,880
You...

513
00:31:36,890 --> 00:31:38,980
Kitty.

514
00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:41,110
The three of us.

515
00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:57,570
According to the neighbours, it's been
parked here since yesterday morning.

516
00:32:04,890 --> 00:32:06,700
Fishing waders.

517
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:08,800
But no rod or tackle.

518
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,490
Switchblade.

519
00:32:10,490 --> 00:32:12,580
Risky old game, dentistry.

520
00:32:12,580 --> 00:32:16,400
According to the logbook, the car's
registered to a Mr John Pettifer.

521
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,620
11 Drexel Court, London.

522
00:32:18,620 --> 00:32:21,310
That's Soho. Pass it on to London,
then.

523
00:32:21,310 --> 00:32:23,690
He died on our ground. I thought I
might take a look.

524
00:32:23,690 --> 00:32:25,820
Did you?

525
00:32:26,660 --> 00:32:30,610
Listen, Morse. Mr Bright's looking for
a volunteer on this beauty contest.

526
00:32:30,610 --> 00:32:32,620
I've put your name down.

527
00:32:33,390 --> 00:32:35,360
To do what? Keep an eye.

528
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,130
They're expecting you
at Chipperfield Studios at midday.

529
00:32:38,130 --> 00:32:40,020
Ask for a Tony Frisco.

530
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:41,710
I'm meant to be off light duties.

531
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,610
It came from the top.

532
00:32:43,610 --> 00:32:45,780
After all the hoopla with the
pageant.

533
00:32:47,550 --> 00:32:50,000
What if it wasn't a suicide?

534
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,550
What if his death is somehow connected
to this missing girl? Frida Yelland.

535
00:32:54,550 --> 00:32:56,970
You're looking to keep your mind
occupied,

536
00:32:56,970 --> 00:32:59,980
it's this theft at Beaufort
we could use a lead on.

537
00:32:59,980 --> 00:33:02,200
You saw her, didn't you? Kitty
Batten?

538
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,890
What do you make to her?

539
00:33:04,810 --> 00:33:06,300
Confused.

540
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:07,670
Sincere.

541
00:33:07,670 --> 00:33:09,040
Angry.

542
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,340
Any chance the theft of the Trove
could be part of the same stunt?

543
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:16,080
Well, anything's possible but...

544
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,420
No, it's all right. Morse?
It was just a car backfiring.

545
00:33:19,420 --> 00:33:22,360
I wasn't... I wasn't expecting it,
that's all.

546
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,980
I know. Well, it... took you by
surprise, that's all.

547
00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:27,830
It was very close.
Made me jump.

548
00:33:32,180 --> 00:33:35,560
You really think there could be
something to London?

549
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,780
I can get the train. After I've been
to see Tony Frisco, of course.

550
00:33:41,290 --> 00:33:42,700
All right.

551
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,090
Set up for a take, please, people.

552
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:50,070
Diana, take five. Thanks.

553
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:52,020
How we looking with the
back-projection?

554
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:55,140
That was smashing, Diana. You're a
natural.

555
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,850
Hello, there. Tony Frisco.
Mr Todd's assistant.

556
00:34:00,850 --> 00:34:02,990
Uh, Detective Constable Morse.

557
00:34:02,990 --> 00:34:05,880
Please, come on over.
I'll introduce you to Val - Mr Todd.

558
00:34:06,610 --> 00:34:09,510
You been with him long?
Ah, yeah. A few years.

559
00:34:09,510 --> 00:34:11,560
Started out as his driver.

560
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,900
Worked my way up.
Is it interesting work?

561
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:16,870
Beats pest control.

562
00:34:16,870 --> 00:34:18,840
That's my former vocation.

563
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,820
Vermin. Pigeons, rats, wasps.

564
00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:24,560
That's how I first met Val.
Squirrels in the loft.

565
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,100
Next, I'm wearing a chauffeur's cap,
sitting behind the wheel of the Roller.

566
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,350
It sounds...
Fabulous? Oh, it is.

567
00:34:30,350 --> 00:34:33,770
I mean, take Saturday gone. Diana
opens a boutique in Marylebone.

568
00:34:33,770 --> 00:34:37,510
They were all there. Simon Dee asks
me if I like his shirt.

569
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:39,040
You can't put a price on that.

570
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,020
Where are the cars? I
don't know how I'm meant

571
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,030
to do it right if
there aren't no cars.

572
00:34:43,030 --> 00:34:46,450
"Any cars."
They will put them in later.

573
00:34:46,450 --> 00:34:48,700
Val? Detective Constable Morse.

574
00:34:48,700 --> 00:34:50,670
Thanks very much indeed for coming.

575
00:34:50,670 --> 00:34:53,930
This is my good lady wife,
and the partner of my labours.

576
00:34:53,930 --> 00:34:55,900
This is Muriel. Mrs Todd.

577
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:59,610
This is one of the nice young gentlemen
who will be looking after us tomorrow.

578
00:34:59,610 --> 00:35:02,950
Can we find him an evening suit?
He has an evening suit.

579
00:35:02,950 --> 00:35:04,720
Don't worry about Muriel.

580
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,330
She's like a cat on a hot tin roof
before a competition.

581
00:35:07,330 --> 00:35:09,990
No smoking on the floor, please!

582
00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:11,560
Sorry, that's me. Let's go.

583
00:35:12,890 --> 00:35:15,700
So... what's the form
with this kind of thing?

584
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:20,130
Traditionally, there's three rounds.
Daywear, evening wear and swimwear.

585
00:35:20,130 --> 00:35:22,340
But this is not all about looks.

586
00:35:22,340 --> 00:35:25,400
These girls are judged on personality
as much as anything else.

587
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,530
Do you get many applicants?

588
00:35:27,530 --> 00:35:29,100
Are you joking?

589
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:32,560
For the right girl, this competition
is the chance at fame and fortune.

590
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,270
This is personal appearances, endorsements.
All of which we take care of.

591
00:35:36,270 --> 00:35:38,240
For a percentage, presumably.

592
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:41,660
As the man says, "showbusiness not
show friendship".

593
00:35:41,660 --> 00:35:43,710
Hm.
Val, they're ready to go again.

594
00:35:43,710 --> 00:35:46,730
Diana's playing up. And Mr White's
on the phone from Play-Tone.

595
00:35:46,730 --> 00:35:49,710
Right, thanks so much for coming.
I really appreciate it.

596
00:35:49,710 --> 00:35:52,890
You're gonna have to excuse me
but Tony will see you out.

597
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:50,030
Someone's beat us to it.

598
00:36:50,030 --> 00:36:52,650
Right, get him up and cuff him.

599
00:36:55,510 --> 00:36:58,480
What are you doing?
Look sharp, Mr Pettifer.

600
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,340
Wakey-wakey.

601
00:37:03,130 --> 00:37:05,260
Don't talk. Listen.

602
00:37:05,260 --> 00:37:08,080
You recognise Mr Mallory here?

603
00:37:10,170 --> 00:37:12,990
You know what we want.
What's the numbers?

604
00:37:12,990 --> 00:37:15,160
I'm not Pettifer.

605
00:37:15,580 --> 00:37:17,680
You are gonna tell me those numbers.

606
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,690
Come here!

607
00:37:19,690 --> 00:37:21,620
Bring her in here!

608
00:37:21,860 --> 00:37:24,200
Who are you?
Lydia... Lydia Martin.

609
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,170
Please. I'm just a secretary.

610
00:37:26,170 --> 00:37:29,060
Give the combination for the safe
and save yourself a beating.

611
00:37:29,070 --> 00:37:31,320
I don't know it. I've only been here
three weeks.

612
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,620
You'd have to ask Mr Pettifer.
What do you think we're doing?

613
00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:36,750
That's not Pettifer.

614
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:40,740
I'm a police officer.

615
00:37:42,180 --> 00:37:44,200
Check him.

616
00:37:47,130 --> 00:37:49,750
He's right. Let's get out of here
quick!

617
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:06,390
Thursday.
Is this the Oxford City Police?

618
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,730
I'm Lydia Martin.

619
00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:12,270
The bigger of the two's Mallory.

620
00:38:12,270 --> 00:38:14,360
He's an Inspector. Vine Street.

621
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,820
Mallory's wife thought he had a bit
on the side.

622
00:38:16,820 --> 00:38:18,990
Mr Pettifer's main line was divorce.

623
00:38:18,990 --> 00:38:21,440
So somehow Mallory's got wind of it.

624
00:38:21,450 --> 00:38:24,220
Any idea what Pettifer was doing in
Oxford?

625
00:38:24,220 --> 00:38:26,350
He didn't tell me much.

626
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,610
Well, whatever Mallory was after is
in here.

627
00:38:29,780 --> 00:38:31,790
You sure you don't know the
combination?

628
00:38:31,790 --> 00:38:34,040
No.

629
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,130
Let's try 98018.

630
00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:47,120
Try 15...58...16...03.

631
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,780
Or some variation thereof.

632
00:38:51,020 --> 00:38:53,600
The combination.
The string around his finger.

633
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,370
He had a bad memory.

634
00:38:55,370 --> 00:38:57,860
Yeah. He was always forgetting to
pay his bills.

635
00:38:57,860 --> 00:39:01,120
He kept everything important
written in his little black book.

636
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,570
15... What is it?

637
00:39:02,570 --> 00:39:05,350
58...16...03.

638
00:39:08,170 --> 00:39:10,380
How'd you know that?

639
00:39:10,380 --> 00:39:13,200
He hung the portrait
to remind him of the combination.

640
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,290
The years of Elizabeth Tudor's reign.

641
00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:41,320
Mallory?

642
00:39:41,330 --> 00:39:43,010
Who wants to know?

643
00:39:43,020 --> 00:39:45,990
Fred Thursday. Oxford City Police.

644
00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:48,130
What can I do for you?

645
00:39:48,130 --> 00:39:49,690
Soho this afternoon.

646
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:53,110
You and your pal had a rare old time
at the expense of one of mine.

647
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,610
Suppose you tell me what that was
all about.

648
00:39:55,700 --> 00:39:57,790
Suppose we don't.

649
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,450
Then I'll have to take off my hat.

650
00:40:21,490 --> 00:40:24,110
How long have I been out?
Nearly back.

651
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:28,530
While you were having a doze,
I dug out Mallory.

652
00:40:28,530 --> 00:40:31,190
Turns out Pettifer was a shake-down
artist.

653
00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:36,220
Mallory's wife hired him to find out if
her husband was seeing another woman.

654
00:40:36,220 --> 00:40:37,420
He was.

655
00:40:37,430 --> 00:40:41,130
Only, sooner than come clean to his
client, Pettifer put the squeeze on.

656
00:40:41,130 --> 00:40:43,340
Only, Mallory wouldn't roll over.

657
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:45,350
About the size of it.

658
00:40:47,490 --> 00:40:51,390
Still doesn't explain who was waiting for
me behind the door of Pettifer's office.

659
00:40:51,390 --> 00:40:54,930
You sure it wasn't Mallory?
According to Miss Martin, no.

660
00:40:54,930 --> 00:40:56,660
They didn't turn up till after.

661
00:40:56,660 --> 00:40:59,240
Well, I fetched you this out in any
case.

662
00:41:02,940 --> 00:41:05,070
Souvenir of London.

663
00:41:11,790 --> 00:41:13,320
Do you need any help?

664
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,420
No, we're all right for the minute, miss.
Thanks for asking. I've got him. That's it.

665
00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:19,440
Let's get you sat down.

666
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,690
Still think Pettifer was a suicide?

667
00:41:34,690 --> 00:41:36,970
Some other husband
had the same idea as

668
00:41:36,980 --> 00:41:39,280
Mallory, only this one
threw him off the roof.

669
00:41:47,370 --> 00:41:52,640
If whoever hit me was after the same
thing as Mallory,

670
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,940
then the answer's got to be
somewhere in that lot.

671
00:41:57,390 --> 00:41:59,880
You're in no state for bookwork.
Get some sleep.

672
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,880
And I don't expect to see you
at work in the morning. All right?

673
00:42:10,270 --> 00:42:12,280
Is he all right?

674
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,690
Touch of concussion.

675
00:42:14,690 --> 00:42:17,990
Could you... look in on him now and
then?

676
00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:19,840
Oh, I don't want to... I know.

677
00:42:20,690 --> 00:42:22,220
In case he needs anything.

678
00:42:22,220 --> 00:42:23,670
Oh.

679
00:42:23,670 --> 00:42:27,930
And if he takes a turn for the worse, call
an ambulance and then call that number.

680
00:42:27,930 --> 00:42:29,580
Any time.

681
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:31,750
Are you family?

682
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,650
Colleague.

683
00:42:33,650 --> 00:42:35,300
Goodnight, miss.

684
00:42:43,730 --> 00:42:46,350
Wotcher. You walk into a door or
something?

685
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:49,120
Your idea of a day off, is it?

686
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,340
You're meant to be laid up
with a bag of ice on your head.

687
00:42:52,340 --> 00:42:55,160
There's something you should see.

688
00:43:00,710 --> 00:43:03,080
That is your signature, Mrs Todd.

689
00:43:03,890 --> 00:43:07,270
30 guineas to be drawn against the
account of ValMu Promotions.

690
00:43:08,110 --> 00:43:11,940
We know Mr Pettifer's bread and
butter was divorce work, Mrs Todd.

691
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:15,030
It was silly. But can you blame me?

692
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,540
Surrounded by beautiful young women,
who he is...

693
00:43:19,340 --> 00:43:21,960
I thought maybe she'd got her claws
into him. Who?

694
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,590
Diana. They'd been spending a lot of
time together. Promotional tours.

695
00:43:26,690 --> 00:43:29,390
Val had become a little distant.

696
00:43:29,390 --> 00:43:30,790
I was wrong.

697
00:43:30,790 --> 00:43:33,490
Mr Pettifer told you that? Yes.

698
00:43:33,490 --> 00:43:35,500
I had no reason to doubt him.

699
00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:39,450
She's worth a million of those.

700
00:43:40,570 --> 00:43:44,560
When I first met Muriel,
I didn't have a pot to piss in.

701
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,190
Do you know what I was? I was Entertainments
Officer at some two-bob holiday camp.

702
00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:52,320
But she saw something in me...

703
00:43:53,970 --> 00:43:55,990
I'd be nothing without that woman.

704
00:43:56,710 --> 00:44:00,410
Cos she's the brains. Oh, yes, she's
the real business acumen.

705
00:44:00,410 --> 00:44:02,420
That's not how the world sees it.

706
00:44:02,420 --> 00:44:04,760
The world sees what we want it to
see.

707
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,530
But I tell you what, believe me,

708
00:44:06,530 --> 00:44:09,670
she's the punch line
and I'm just the boom-tschh.

709
00:44:10,350 --> 00:44:13,890
Just as a matter of interest,
where were you yesterday afternoon?

710
00:44:13,890 --> 00:44:16,670
You know where I was. I was at
Chipperfield Studios.

711
00:44:16,670 --> 00:44:20,010
And the morning of the pageant? In
The Broad, keeping an eye on Diana.

712
00:44:20,010 --> 00:44:22,420
Mu and Tony'll vouch for me.

713
00:44:22,420 --> 00:44:27,170
Look, do you really think I would risk
everything that we've built up together?

714
00:44:28,020 --> 00:44:29,710
For what?

715
00:44:29,710 --> 00:44:32,730
For some here today, gone tomorrow
bit of skirt

716
00:44:32,730 --> 00:44:35,300
who's only interested in what I can
do for 'em?

717
00:44:36,230 --> 00:44:38,320
He makes a convincing show.

718
00:44:39,210 --> 00:44:41,870
I'll say a water-tight alibi
for the time both you

719
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,560
and Pettifer copped it
is a bit more than show.

720
00:44:45,380 --> 00:44:47,680
All we've got to go on
is the wife's suspicions.

721
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,060
She wouldn't be the first
to put two and two, and make five.

722
00:44:51,060 --> 00:44:53,270
I thought I might talk to Diana Day.

723
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,810
Well, D-Day.

724
00:44:56,810 --> 00:44:58,860
Stretching a point, aren't you?

725
00:44:58,870 --> 00:45:02,490
Besides, she's hardly likely to
admit they were carrying on.

726
00:45:02,490 --> 00:45:04,580
If Pettifer had had anything on
Todd,

727
00:45:04,580 --> 00:45:08,280
we'd have found more in his file
than just a cheque. Don't you think?

728
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:16,640
Miss Day?

729
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,650
Oh. If you want a signed picture,
you'll have to write in.

730
00:45:19,650 --> 00:45:22,430
Detective Constable Morse. City
Police. Oh.

731
00:45:23,030 --> 00:45:25,130
Thank God. I thought you were a fan.

732
00:45:25,970 --> 00:45:28,990
You ain't got a ciggie? I'm gasping.
I'm afraid not.

733
00:45:28,990 --> 00:45:30,600
Do you mind if I sit? Please.

734
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,460
So... what's this about, then?

735
00:45:33,460 --> 00:45:36,110
What happened at the parade?

736
00:45:36,110 --> 00:45:38,330
No, it's about another matter.

737
00:45:40,180 --> 00:45:42,030
I wondered...

738
00:45:42,030 --> 00:45:45,570
Have you ever met a man called
Pettifer?

739
00:45:45,570 --> 00:45:47,700
Not that I know of.

740
00:45:48,270 --> 00:45:51,970
What about a girl called Frida
Yelland?

741
00:45:51,970 --> 00:45:55,350
Do you know how many names
I hear in my line of work?

742
00:45:55,350 --> 00:45:58,370
Who is she? She's a young girl gone
missing from Wantage.

743
00:45:59,050 --> 00:46:01,830
She may have known this Pettifer
character.

744
00:46:02,950 --> 00:46:06,130
Well, like I say, I don't know
either of them.

745
00:46:06,780 --> 00:46:09,830
How would you describe
your relationship with Val Todd?

746
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,890
Professional.

747
00:46:11,890 --> 00:46:13,980
He's my manager.

748
00:46:14,620 --> 00:46:19,410
Look, three years ago,
I was just plain Betty Jones,

749
00:46:19,410 --> 00:46:21,500
working in a shoe shop in Croydon,

750
00:46:21,510 --> 00:46:25,450
with no prospects beyond a couple of
kids and a maisonette in Purley.

751
00:46:25,450 --> 00:46:28,550
And everyone would've said,
"Ain't she done well?"

752
00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:30,840
Val saw something more in me.

753
00:46:31,930 --> 00:46:34,740
"A smile to build a dream on" he
called it.

754
00:46:35,630 --> 00:46:37,720
And he sent me to deportment classes

755
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:39,250
and elocution lessons,

756
00:46:39,250 --> 00:46:41,990
and gave me new hair and clothes.

757
00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:44,080
Even a new name.

758
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,930
D Day. It's my birthday.

759
00:46:46,860 --> 00:46:48,670
It's June 6th.

760
00:46:48,670 --> 00:46:50,840
Simple as that. Simple as that.

761
00:47:34,230 --> 00:47:36,320
Can I redeem this? Yes, sir.

762
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,260
Trill Mill Stream.

763
00:48:06,260 --> 00:48:08,790
Runs underneath the city.

764
00:48:08,790 --> 00:48:11,010
At least we know why he needed
waders.

765
00:48:12,540 --> 00:48:15,390
TE Lawrence explored it by canoe
when he was up.

766
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,340
The point is it surfaces again
inside Beaufort College.

767
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,690
How far does this thing go?

768
00:48:25,690 --> 00:48:27,750
Oh. About a quarter of a mile.

769
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,290
It ran on the surface originally.

770
00:48:32,090 --> 00:48:36,240
Only enclosed during a cholera
outbreak in the 19th century.

771
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,380
What the hell was Pettifer doing
taking a photograph of it?

772
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:43,920
I don't know. Casing the location?
Planning?

773
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,860
This must be the way the robbers got
into the college.

774
00:48:46,860 --> 00:48:48,750
Maybe Pettifer... Hold on.

775
00:48:48,750 --> 00:48:50,400
What's that?

776
00:48:51,530 --> 00:48:53,580
Look, there, up ahead.

777
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:16,240
# Qui la voce sua soave

778
00:49:17,250 --> 00:49:20,300
# Mi chiamava

779
00:49:21,590 --> 00:49:24,770
# E poi spari

780
00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:30,520
# Qui giurava

781
00:49:30,530 --> 00:49:34,470
# Esser fedele...

782
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,050
Who was she?
We're not sure yet, sir.

783
00:49:38,050 --> 00:49:41,470
But her outfit matches that of a girl
reported missing out of Wantage.

784
00:49:41,470 --> 00:49:43,600
Frida Yelland. Age?

785
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,620
Early twenties - if it's her.
It's her.

786
00:49:50,730 --> 00:49:52,240
Was she interfered with?

787
00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:56,540
Know more once Dr DeBryn's completed his
post mortem, but first impression says not.

788
00:49:56,540 --> 00:49:58,480
Her underclothes are still in place.

789
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,370
How was it you happened to find the
body?

790
00:50:01,370 --> 00:50:03,830
A line of inquiry Morse was
following, sir.

791
00:50:03,830 --> 00:50:06,560
To do with this suicide off the
Rates Office.

792
00:50:06,570 --> 00:50:09,380
Cause of death would appear to be a
head wound.

793
00:50:09,380 --> 00:50:13,120
Would have bled quite profusely
if she were alive when it happened.

794
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,870
Right parietal. Between the superior
and inferior temporal lines.

795
00:50:17,870 --> 00:50:19,560
Someone hit her, yeah?

796
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,260
One might reasonably draw such a
conclusion.

797
00:50:22,260 --> 00:50:26,320
Pettifer had a fractured skull, didn't he?
He had a fractured everything.

798
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,210
But that was also on the right.

799
00:50:28,220 --> 00:50:32,200
Between the superior and inferior
temporal lines.

800
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,050
If memory serves.

801
00:50:35,220 --> 00:50:38,270
Whoever killed Frida Yelland also
killed Pettifer.

802
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,290
It would appear they are both
connected to the theft of the Trove.

803
00:50:41,290 --> 00:50:44,150
But what's behind it?
A falling-out of thieves?

804
00:50:44,150 --> 00:50:48,330
Perhaps. But the girl was killed two
weeks ago at least.

805
00:50:48,340 --> 00:50:52,120
Maybe she's not part of it? Maybe she's
heard or seen something she shouldn't,

806
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,490
and they can't rely on on her
to keep her mouth shut.

807
00:50:54,490 --> 00:50:58,600
So what's with the photographs? And why
leave the negs in the pawnbrokers?

808
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,490
Maybe he didn't trust his partner.

809
00:51:00,490 --> 00:51:02,220
Or partners.

810
00:51:02,220 --> 00:51:05,040
Maybe it was his insurance
against a double-cross.

811
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,610
Didn't work out too well for him,
then, did it?

812
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:12,880
After Elspeth died, me and Frida moved
here to be closer to my family.

813
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,410
From where?

814
00:51:14,410 --> 00:51:17,990
London. I'd gone there after the war
to look for work.

815
00:51:17,990 --> 00:51:20,330
That's how I met Elspeth.

816
00:51:20,330 --> 00:51:23,190
She was a widow with a young girl.

817
00:51:23,870 --> 00:51:26,040
What happened to Frida's father?

818
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,380
Oh... The Japs.

819
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:31,110
Frida took to me from the off.

820
00:51:31,110 --> 00:51:32,960
My little button, she was.

821
00:51:34,030 --> 00:51:38,020
This older man... Does the name
Pettifer ring any bells?

822
00:51:38,020 --> 00:51:40,230
No. Not to my knowledge.

823
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:43,730
What about Beaufort College?
Did she know anyone from there?

824
00:51:43,730 --> 00:51:46,590
We never had anything to do with
anywhere like that.

825
00:51:46,590 --> 00:51:49,400
Would you have a key for this, Mr
Yelland?

826
00:51:49,410 --> 00:51:54,640
No. That's Frida's bits box.
It belonged to my Elspeth.

827
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,060
I let Frida have it after Elspeth
passed away.

828
00:51:58,780 --> 00:52:02,680
You'd have no objection if we took it
away with us and had a look inside?

829
00:52:02,690 --> 00:52:05,180
No. Take what you want.

830
00:52:05,860 --> 00:52:07,800
Just catch whoever did it.

831
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:15,180
These could be anywhere.

832
00:52:16,610 --> 00:52:19,630
Find wherever this is
and we might get some answers.

833
00:52:19,630 --> 00:52:21,640
It's Pettifer's notebook we need.

834
00:52:22,370 --> 00:52:23,890
Same again?

835
00:52:24,700 --> 00:52:27,880
I'll have a large one.
He'll have a pint of Radfords.

836
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,140
I'm all for a beer at lunchtime.
There's nothing wrong with that.

837
00:52:31,140 --> 00:52:34,200
But when you're on duty with me,
you lay off the spirits.

838
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,610
I've seen too many go that way.
What way?

839
00:52:37,300 --> 00:52:39,710
You think I missed all the bottles
round your flat?

840
00:52:39,710 --> 00:52:43,770
Six months, you'll have enough off the
empties to put down for a second-hand car.

841
00:52:45,790 --> 00:52:49,090
Booze can be a good servant, Morse,
but it's a lousy master.

842
00:52:49,090 --> 00:52:51,460
What's going on?

843
00:52:51,460 --> 00:52:53,590
You all right?

844
00:52:53,590 --> 00:52:56,370
Perfectly. Why?
I'm just saying.

845
00:52:57,820 --> 00:53:01,680
Sometimes... with a shooting...

846
00:53:02,970 --> 00:53:04,740
there can be a delayed reaction.

847
00:53:04,740 --> 00:53:06,950
Shock after the event.

848
00:53:06,950 --> 00:53:08,880
Here, try this.

849
00:53:09,610 --> 00:53:13,070
The FME's rated me fit.
In body.

850
00:53:13,070 --> 00:53:14,880
Seen enough of it in the war.

851
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,250
Men passed A1
and returned to the front line.

852
00:53:17,260 --> 00:53:19,350
Too soon for some of them.

853
00:53:19,350 --> 00:53:20,880
I'm fine.

854
00:53:35,730 --> 00:53:38,740
Thomas shot a couple of rolls with
her earlier this year.

855
00:53:38,740 --> 00:53:41,200
I sent the ten by eights off to
ValMu.

856
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,180
ValMu Promotions?

857
00:53:44,180 --> 00:53:47,350
The organiser of this beauty contest?
That's right.

858
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,180
They put her in the local heats at
Henley, but she only came runner-up.

859
00:53:51,180 --> 00:53:53,390
Which was about her mark, to be
fair.

860
00:53:53,390 --> 00:53:56,010
Did she have a boyfriend?
Not that I know of.

861
00:53:56,690 --> 00:54:00,150
What about a man called Pettifer? She
ever mention anyone by that name?

862
00:54:00,150 --> 00:54:01,680
Not to me. That's it.

863
00:54:02,930 --> 00:54:05,510
What was she like?
Not bad from a distance,

864
00:54:05,510 --> 00:54:08,810
you put her in the right clobber -
good legs, decent bust.

865
00:54:09,530 --> 00:54:11,660
She was all right till she opened
her mouth.

866
00:54:11,660 --> 00:54:13,430
Did you tell her that?

867
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,220
Did she know anyone at Beaufort College?
That's lovely, Thomas. Lovely.

868
00:54:19,110 --> 00:54:21,600
No. Uh-uh. That wasn't her scene.

869
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,420
When did you see her last?
I couldn't tell you.

870
00:54:25,060 --> 00:54:27,250
Try. Or do you want us
to take this place apart

871
00:54:27,260 --> 00:54:29,450
and find out what's got
her as high as a kite?

872
00:54:29,450 --> 00:54:31,820
Babe, why don't you go
and fix us a rum and coke, eh?

873
00:54:31,830 --> 00:54:33,880
There's a good girl.

874
00:54:36,330 --> 00:54:39,070
Couple of months, maybe.
Dropped me, didn't she.

875
00:54:39,070 --> 00:54:41,920
How'd you feel about that?
That's the game, man.

876
00:54:41,930 --> 00:54:45,390
Easy come. Really? She could've been
your meal ticket.

877
00:54:45,390 --> 00:54:47,160
I did all right out of it.

878
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:48,690
I sold her on.

879
00:54:48,690 --> 00:54:50,440
I transferred my interest to ValMu.

880
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:50,940
What could ValMu do for her?
I transferred my interest to ValMu.

881
00:54:50,940 --> 00:54:52,250
What could ValMu do for her?

882
00:54:52,250 --> 00:54:54,300
You'd have to ask them.

883
00:54:55,630 --> 00:54:58,570
We get hundreds of those through
each week.

884
00:54:58,570 --> 00:55:01,180
One pretty girl is very much like
another.

885
00:55:01,180 --> 00:55:04,440
This one took part in one of your
local heats for Miss Oxfordshire.

886
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:05,970
Really?

887
00:55:05,970 --> 00:55:08,550
What's your interest,
if you don't mind me asking?

888
00:55:08,550 --> 00:55:11,490
Our interest, Mr Todd,
is she was found murdered.

889
00:55:12,730 --> 00:55:15,110
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, that's...

890
00:55:15,990 --> 00:55:18,570
that's terrible. That's a tragedy.
Val?

891
00:55:18,570 --> 00:55:20,980
It's Lane at SCDP.

892
00:55:21,670 --> 00:55:23,200
The East Coast.

893
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,410
Would you mind excusing me
just for a moment?

894
00:55:25,410 --> 00:55:28,190
Muriel can help you with anything
else. What's this?

895
00:55:28,190 --> 00:55:30,520
More about that nonsense at the
parade?

896
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,180
No, no. Some young kid's got herself
killed.

897
00:55:33,180 --> 00:55:35,790
What did you say her name was?
Frida Yelland.

898
00:55:35,790 --> 00:55:39,210
We spoke to a Mr Delfarge. He said
he sold her on to you to manage.

899
00:55:39,210 --> 00:55:40,460
Oh, yes, I remember.

900
00:55:40,460 --> 00:55:43,070
We negotiated a percentage
but nothing was signed.

901
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,850
But she worked for you?
She did a couple of exhibitions.

902
00:55:45,850 --> 00:55:48,020
The boat show. Motor show.

903
00:55:48,030 --> 00:55:50,080
She wasn't really cut out for it.

904
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,290
She ever talk about a boyfriend?

905
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:55,190
What about Pettifer?

906
00:55:55,870 --> 00:55:57,840
It's possible she may have known him.

907
00:56:18,790 --> 00:56:21,930
Her father was killed in the war.
Yelland said as much.

908
00:56:21,930 --> 00:56:24,790
He took on Frida and raised her as
if she were his own.

909
00:56:24,790 --> 00:56:27,240
It's not the official telegram, sir.

910
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:30,500
There's a letter there, sent by his
C/O after the war.

911
00:56:31,270 --> 00:56:32,760
"Dear Mrs Spurling,

912
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,660
You will by now have received notice
of your terrible loss..."

913
00:56:36,660 --> 00:56:38,910
So? I've seen enough like it.
What's your point?

914
00:56:38,910 --> 00:56:42,570
Lack of punctuation notwithstanding,
it's the signature that caught my eye.

915
00:56:43,700 --> 00:56:45,350
"Captain Archibald Batten."

916
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,260
My father was a miner,
in the Valleys of South Wales.

917
00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:56,500
He'd known poverty. But it hadn't
made him bitter.

918
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:58,110
He used to say to me, "Barbara",

919
00:56:58,110 --> 00:57:04,870
when the world shows you its worst,
that's when people show you their best."

920
00:57:04,870 --> 00:57:07,320
Here, here!

921
00:57:15,490 --> 00:57:17,500
That was a very good speech.

922
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:20,240
Last chance to convince any
undecideds.

923
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,860
At least nobody told me
to get back in the kitchen.

924
00:57:22,860 --> 00:57:25,350
I thought it was very passionate.
Mm.

925
00:57:25,350 --> 00:57:29,370
I can count on your vote, then.
I don't. Vote.

926
00:57:29,380 --> 00:57:31,590
People died so you could.

927
00:57:31,850 --> 00:57:34,630
It's your birthright, paid for in
sweat and blood.

928
00:57:34,630 --> 00:57:37,810
All right, my dear? Who's this?
Captain Batten?

929
00:57:37,810 --> 00:57:41,150
I wonder if I might have a moment of
your time. City Police. DC Morse.

930
00:57:41,150 --> 00:57:42,880
Police? Is this about Kitty?

931
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,820
No, it's about another matter.
It won't take a moment.

932
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,180
I wrote many such letters. Too many.

933
00:57:53,180 --> 00:57:58,490
I've a vague recollection of Private
Spurling, but sadly, I'm afraid...

934
00:57:58,490 --> 00:58:00,420
faces do start to blur.

935
00:58:00,430 --> 00:58:03,120
We wondered if Miss Yelland
had been in contact with you?

936
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,530
With me? No. To what end?

937
00:58:05,540 --> 00:58:07,710
Some connection with her father,
perhaps?

938
00:58:07,710 --> 00:58:10,040
Something brought her to Oxford.
I see.

939
00:58:10,730 --> 00:58:14,110
Then, I'm afraid I'm sorry to
disappoint. I never met her.

940
00:58:14,110 --> 00:58:18,530
I doubt I've thought about her name from the
moment I wrote that letter until today.

941
00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:22,480
You've never met, or been contacted
by, a man called Pettifer?

942
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,890
He's a private inquiry agent from
London.

943
00:58:24,890 --> 00:58:27,590
No. Good heavens, no.

944
00:58:27,590 --> 00:58:29,280
The guttersnipes in the press

945
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,530
are always looking to do Barbara
down,

946
00:58:31,530 --> 00:58:34,190
but I can't see even them
stooping so low as that.

947
00:58:34,190 --> 00:58:36,360
Where were you on the morning of the
pageant?

948
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:37,810
Campaigning - with Barb.

949
00:58:37,810 --> 00:58:40,000
A speech to nurses at the Radcliffe
Infirmary.

950
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,770
And yesterday afternoon?

951
00:58:41,780 --> 00:58:44,110
Canvassing... door to door.

952
00:58:44,110 --> 00:58:46,450
As my feet will bear testament.

953
00:58:46,450 --> 00:58:48,580
I can slip my sock off, if you like.
No.

954
00:58:48,580 --> 00:58:50,910
That won't be... Thank you for your
assistance.

955
00:58:50,910 --> 00:58:53,610
And the best of luck to Mrs Batten
tomorrow.

956
00:58:56,550 --> 00:58:58,520
Pint?

957
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,820
No. I won't, if it's all the same.

958
00:59:01,820 --> 00:59:03,910
Night, then. Good night.

959
00:59:12,850 --> 00:59:15,860
You should've stayed.
You'd have been proud.

960
00:59:16,670 --> 00:59:18,480
I am.

961
00:59:37,410 --> 00:59:39,020
Sir!

962
00:59:47,250 --> 00:59:50,230
This is indeed the stolen spearhead.

963
00:59:50,230 --> 00:59:52,560
Where did you find it?
In the tunnel, sir.

964
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,130
Close by Frida Yelland's body.

965
00:59:54,130 --> 00:59:57,550
Looks like the thief stumbled over
the corpse in the dark and lost it.

966
00:59:57,550 --> 00:59:59,200
He was already inside the college.

967
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,430
He steals the goods, then makes his getaway
under cover of darkness through the stream.

968
01:00:03,430 --> 01:00:06,450
One of your uniformed associates
mentioned in passing

969
01:00:06,450 --> 01:00:08,010
that you were an Oxford man.

970
01:00:08,020 --> 01:00:09,540
Is that right?

971
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,720
I've always rather despised that
phrase.

972
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,770
Oh... Chippy, are we?

973
01:00:13,770 --> 01:00:15,980
What? Poor Third?

974
01:00:15,980 --> 01:00:19,000
You're tutor to Kitty Batten, aren't
you?

975
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,850
What do you make to her?

976
01:00:20,850 --> 01:00:24,720
Daddy issues. Well, Mummy and Daddy
issues to be precise.

977
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,970
Hence all this "Look at me!" of
late.

978
01:00:26,970 --> 01:00:29,870
Nothing a good spanking wouldn't
cure, I'm sure.

979
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:34,110
Oh, I see.

980
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,540
Turned your head, has she?
Touch of the barley fever.

981
01:00:37,540 --> 01:00:40,270
Got you yearning for bouts of erotic
gymnastics

982
01:00:40,270 --> 01:00:43,890
punctuated by Thomas Mann
and the New Left Review?

983
01:00:43,890 --> 01:00:45,620
Yum yum.

984
01:00:45,620 --> 01:00:48,000
You know, the flesh is weak, I
suppose.

985
01:00:50,130 --> 01:00:52,180
I've seen all I need to. Thank you.

986
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,130
There you go, sir.

987
01:00:57,130 --> 01:00:59,150
Thanks. Thanks, mate.

988
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,930
I hear it's off ration these days.

989
01:01:03,610 --> 01:01:06,070
I've had enough advice for one day.

990
01:01:06,070 --> 01:01:08,200
How do you feel about giving some?

991
01:01:09,330 --> 01:01:11,860
I've been invited to
a meet and greet this evening.

992
01:01:11,860 --> 01:01:16,530
With a view to being initiated into
a certain ancient fraternity.

993
01:01:18,020 --> 01:01:21,400
We haven't all got your brain,
matey. Never will have.

994
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,450
Some of us need a leg-up.

995
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,180
A man can't serve two masters.

996
01:01:29,390 --> 01:01:32,090
Sooner or later, you'll have to
choose.

997
01:01:35,750 --> 01:01:37,760
Just don't lose your way.

998
01:01:38,930 --> 01:01:40,980
It's easily done.

999
01:01:48,550 --> 01:01:53,340
# Ardon gl'incensi

1000
01:02:01,190 --> 01:02:04,730
# Splendon le sacre faci

1001
01:02:05,660 --> 01:02:09,920
# Splendon intorno

1002
01:02:11,410 --> 01:02:14,950
# Ecco il ministro

1003
01:02:21,230 --> 01:02:25,370
# Porgime la destra

1004
01:02:25,940 --> 01:02:32,860
# Oh, lieto giorno...

1005
01:02:42,430 --> 01:02:47,260
The Trill Mill is out of bounds to undergrads
and staff, Dr Speight. Is that right?

1006
01:02:48,020 --> 01:02:50,030
Yes. Yes, indeed.

1007
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,010
Students once used it
to get in and out after curfew.

1008
01:02:53,010 --> 01:02:55,150
The less murophobic at least.

1009
01:02:55,150 --> 01:02:59,330
But after the rat infestation of
'63, we had it sealed.

1010
01:02:59,330 --> 01:03:01,620
Dreadful, pestilential pit of a
place.

1011
01:03:01,630 --> 01:03:04,320
You wouldn't catch me down there
for love nor money.

1012
01:03:06,410 --> 01:03:08,590
Sir? Was there something else?

1013
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,870
You again? Don't you people ever rest?
I've already told your colleagues,

1014
01:03:21,870 --> 01:03:25,650
the night the Trove was stolen,
I was in my rooms at college.

1015
01:03:25,650 --> 01:03:27,540
Was that usual?

1016
01:03:27,540 --> 01:03:31,520
My wife had taken a pupil up to London for
her Grade-something at the Royal College.

1017
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,940
You don't expect a man to cook for
himself?

1018
01:03:33,940 --> 01:03:36,310
Im! Try cartwheels.

1019
01:03:36,310 --> 01:03:39,010
But there's no-one can vouch for you
at college?

1020
01:03:39,010 --> 01:03:42,430
Actually, I had Imogen on a
put-you-up. But she slept through.

1021
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,490
Something wrong? 8...1086.

1022
01:03:47,460 --> 01:03:50,030
What? Are you quite well?
August 1086.

1023
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,450
The date of the first draft
of the Domesday Book.

1024
01:03:52,450 --> 01:03:57,120
That's right. We have some pages from the
original Oxfordshire returns on display.

1025
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,050
Stop there! Everybody, freeze!
What are you doing?

1026
01:04:00,060 --> 01:04:02,670
What the hell is going on?
City Police.

1027
01:04:02,670 --> 01:04:04,400
What are you doing? Open it up.

1028
01:04:09,030 --> 01:04:10,800
Is it all there?

1029
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,620
Sir, it's Delfrage!
Get after him!

1030
01:04:13,620 --> 01:04:15,870
Where were you
on the morning of the pageant?

1031
01:04:15,870 --> 01:04:18,000
In my rooms at college. Alone?

1032
01:04:19,610 --> 01:04:21,630
And Friday afternoon?

1033
01:04:22,750 --> 01:04:24,480
What is this?

1034
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,780
Keep on him, Jakes!

1035
01:04:29,780 --> 01:04:32,890
You think I'm somehow involved in
the theft?

1036
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:34,200
Or worse.

1037
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:36,190
Much worse.

1038
01:04:42,580 --> 01:04:45,560
Frida Yelland. Who?

1039
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,690
The young woman we fished out of the
Trill Mill.

1040
01:04:48,700 --> 01:04:51,310
You killed her, didn't you?

1041
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,850
We've got you now, Justin!

1042
01:04:54,850 --> 01:04:56,950
Give it up! It's over.

1043
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,330
You're delusional.

1044
01:05:05,330 --> 01:05:07,500
Or drunk.

1045
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,160
I think you should go now!

1046
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,090
Excellent, Thursday.
Thank you, sir.

1047
01:05:12,090 --> 01:05:13,940
It was Copley-Barnes.

1048
01:05:14,350 --> 01:05:16,040
What was Copley-Barnes?

1049
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,380
That stole the Trove from Beaufort and
murdered Frida Yelland and Pettifer.

1050
01:05:20,380 --> 01:05:23,880
Morse... He was the older man. It's
not 98018.

1051
01:05:23,890 --> 01:05:25,820
It's 8-1086.

1052
01:05:25,820 --> 01:05:28,950
The month and year in which
the Domesday Book was completed.

1053
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,010
Pettifer was blackmailing him.

1054
01:05:31,010 --> 01:05:34,870
He found out somehow that Copley-Barnes
was involved with Frida Yelland.

1055
01:05:34,870 --> 01:05:37,890
That's why Copley-Barnes stole the
Trove. To pay off Pettifer.

1056
01:05:37,890 --> 01:05:39,660
Pettifer? Who was already dead?

1057
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,730
What? We've got the thieves in
custody.

1058
01:05:44,730 --> 01:05:48,150
It's nothing to do with Copley-Barnes,
or Domesday, or the rest of it.

1059
01:05:48,150 --> 01:05:51,330
It was Justin Delfarge and his
photographer mate, Thomas.

1060
01:05:51,330 --> 01:05:56,640
Thomas, it turns out, is the Right Honourable
Gideon Bartholomew Thomas Fyffe-Drummond,

1061
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,570
youngest son of the Marquis of
Stanhope.

1062
01:05:58,580 --> 01:06:01,110
He was also a graduate of Beaufort
two years since.

1063
01:06:01,110 --> 01:06:03,770
Which is how he got to photograph
the Wolvercote Trove.

1064
01:06:03,770 --> 01:06:06,540
His name's on the blow-ups
and in the exhibition guide.

1065
01:06:06,540 --> 01:06:09,640
There's got to be more to it than
that. It's just circumstantial.

1066
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,900
You remember the model he was taking
photographs of when we visited?

1067
01:06:12,900 --> 01:06:14,950
Yes.
The bracelets she was wearing?

1068
01:06:14,950 --> 01:06:18,250
That's lovely, Thomas. Lovely.
The torcs from the exhibition.

1069
01:06:18,250 --> 01:06:20,470
Well, what about Frida Yelland and
Pettifer?

1070
01:06:20,470 --> 01:06:22,680
Justin and Thomas both knew Frida.

1071
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,210
Pettifer, early days.

1072
01:06:24,210 --> 01:06:25,940
You're not actually serious?

1073
01:06:27,350 --> 01:06:29,400
Unless they've confessed.

1074
01:06:30,130 --> 01:06:33,100
Have they confessed?
Remember who you're speaking to.

1075
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:34,910
Have they confessed? Morse!

1076
01:06:34,910 --> 01:06:38,170
A man should be big enough
to admit when he's wrong.

1077
01:06:38,170 --> 01:06:40,270
The Trove has been recovered.

1078
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:50,190
It won't do, Thursday. It simply won't do.
Who the hell does he think he is?

1079
01:06:50,190 --> 01:06:52,230
Be this blow on the head
he got in London, sir.

1080
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,290
A slight concussion, that's all.

1081
01:06:54,290 --> 01:06:56,420
Put him out of sorts.

1082
01:06:56,420 --> 01:06:58,430
Yes.

1083
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,850
Yes, a slight concussion. That'll be
it.

1084
01:07:02,660 --> 01:07:04,630
A few days off?

1085
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,410
I just got back.

1086
01:07:07,410 --> 01:07:10,710
Does it sound like a request?
You're not right. Go home.

1087
01:07:31,220 --> 01:07:33,430
Your friend asked me to look in.

1088
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,140
You shouldn't have gone to all that
trouble.

1089
01:07:38,140 --> 01:07:40,190
No trouble. I'm used to it.

1090
01:07:45,580 --> 01:07:47,430
You're a nurse.

1091
01:07:47,430 --> 01:07:49,440
Is it the uniform?

1092
01:07:50,170 --> 01:07:53,870
I just wanted to leave you something
before I went on shift.

1093
01:07:53,870 --> 01:07:56,850
I tried the other morning,
but you gave me the slip.

1094
01:07:57,530 --> 01:07:59,630
Try and eat it while it's hot.

1095
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,530
You need feeding up.

1096
01:08:03,530 --> 01:08:05,340
Hey, now.

1097
01:08:07,470 --> 01:08:09,120
You're shaking.

1098
01:08:10,170 --> 01:08:12,220
What's so bad it's got you this way?
Huh?

1099
01:08:13,830 --> 01:08:15,840
A father's lost his daughter.

1100
01:08:18,860 --> 01:08:21,070
That has to be put right.

1101
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,930
If I can't do that...

1102
01:08:25,540 --> 01:08:27,630
there's nothing.

1103
01:08:30,410 --> 01:08:33,910
There. See? You can add cowardice
to my list of of fences.

1104
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,420
When your friend brought you home
the other night,

1105
01:08:38,420 --> 01:08:40,470
I didn't see a coward.

1106
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:46,060
Just a man... beat up too often
and for too long, maybe.

1107
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,370
You're not yellow.

1108
01:08:51,140 --> 01:08:53,230
You're just blue.

1109
01:08:58,380 --> 01:08:59,990
Morse?

1110
01:09:00,070 --> 01:09:02,850
You know your moped?
I need to ask a favour.

1111
01:09:10,950 --> 01:09:13,050
Hello? Anyone here?

1112
01:10:16,250 --> 01:10:19,550
Vote for Barbara Batten,
your Labour candidate!

1113
01:10:19,630 --> 01:10:21,560
This way, please.

1114
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,530
Lovely.

1115
01:10:23,530 --> 01:10:25,670
Can we have one of you as a couple,
please?

1116
01:10:27,440 --> 01:10:29,330
That's it. Big smile.

1117
01:11:00,620 --> 01:11:03,030
It's you.
Who did you think it was?

1118
01:11:03,030 --> 01:11:05,650
Some couple of bastards
from a few weeks since.

1119
01:11:05,650 --> 01:11:07,860
What bastards?

1120
01:11:07,860 --> 01:11:09,790
Never got a good enough look.

1121
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,570
Two of 'em, though.

1122
01:11:11,570 --> 01:11:14,580
Big saloon car parked up back by the
cabin.

1123
01:11:16,440 --> 01:11:18,650
It's all right. It's licensed.

1124
01:11:19,940 --> 01:11:24,200
You're licensed to own it, Mr Fisher,
not to take pot-shots at strangers.

1125
01:11:24,970 --> 01:11:27,220
Trespassers.

1126
01:11:27,220 --> 01:11:30,120
My old man bought the land
when the camp closed.

1127
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,170
Not that it's worth anything.

1128
01:11:32,170 --> 01:11:34,540
But I like to come fishing.

1129
01:11:34,540 --> 01:11:37,200
When was it, these two trespassers?

1130
01:11:38,050 --> 01:11:40,020
Uh...

1131
01:11:40,020 --> 01:11:42,110
Fortnight last Friday.

1132
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,450
One of 'em was down by here.

1133
01:11:45,450 --> 01:11:47,580
He lobbed something into the water.

1134
01:11:49,150 --> 01:11:50,880
I give him a warning shot.

1135
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,580
Should've seen the bugger run.

1136
01:11:53,580 --> 01:11:56,190
Would you recognise them,
if you saw them again?

1137
01:11:56,190 --> 01:11:59,290
The one by the water... probably.

1138
01:12:01,270 --> 01:12:02,600
Oh...

1139
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,860
What you got there, then?

1140
01:12:18,370 --> 01:12:21,310
A hearty round of applause for our
lovely ladies.

1141
01:12:24,530 --> 01:12:27,660
And as the competitors
make their way around the pool,

1142
01:12:27,660 --> 01:12:30,200
let me introduce you to tonight's
judges.

1143
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,060
Star of radio and television,

1144
01:12:34,060 --> 01:12:37,320
its What's My Line's Lady Isobel
Barnett.

1145
01:12:39,330 --> 01:12:41,670
Racing Driver Danny Griffon.

1146
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,690
Who do you fancy to win? Hm?

1147
01:12:44,690 --> 01:12:46,700
The competition.

1148
01:12:46,700 --> 01:12:49,560
Miss Great Britain... Diana Day!

1149
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:54,350
When I was a child,
my father took me to a county show.

1150
01:12:54,350 --> 01:12:56,800
The stockmen led beeves around a
field.

1151
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,660
The winner got a rosette.

1152
01:12:59,660 --> 01:13:02,430
The loser got a bolt through the
skull.

1153
01:13:02,440 --> 01:13:04,410
It's just a bit of fun, Morse.

1154
01:13:04,410 --> 01:13:06,940
First up... Number One...

1155
01:13:06,940 --> 01:13:09,340
Oh, yes, it's all fun.

1156
01:13:14,890 --> 01:13:16,940
Till the music stops.

1157
01:13:21,610 --> 01:13:23,300
Mr Todd.

1158
01:13:24,670 --> 01:13:26,880
Take care. I'll see you later.

1159
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,490
Morse.

1160
01:13:28,490 --> 01:13:31,190
Any news on Justin
and his photographer friend?

1161
01:13:31,190 --> 01:13:33,480
Mr Thursday's still sweating them,
far as I know.

1162
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:35,530
What was all that about?

1163
01:13:35,530 --> 01:13:38,350
With Todd. You seem very pally.

1164
01:13:38,350 --> 01:13:40,200
Val? Yeah.

1165
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:41,850
Yeah, he's all right.

1166
01:13:41,850 --> 01:13:43,980
I probably shouldn't say, but uh...

1167
01:13:43,980 --> 01:13:46,200
That social event we were talking
about.

1168
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,010
The meet and greet.

1169
01:13:48,970 --> 01:13:51,390
Todd was there?
All right. Keep it down.

1170
01:13:51,390 --> 01:13:53,480
It wasn't anything like you said.

1171
01:13:53,480 --> 01:13:56,380
It was no different to a sort of
rugby club do, really.

1172
01:13:56,380 --> 01:13:58,270
It was all very relaxed.

1173
01:13:59,900 --> 01:14:02,030
Where was this?
Pub out at Thame.

1174
01:14:02,030 --> 01:14:05,570
Yeah, the Lodge meets above the
saloon, apparently. Every Wednesday.

1175
01:14:05,580 --> 01:14:08,430
Domesday Arms. It's very
picturesque.

1176
01:14:08,430 --> 01:14:10,770
We should take a run out there
sometime.

1177
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,090
I think the returning officer is
ready.

1178
01:14:22,090 --> 01:14:24,830
OK, just one moment.
Just give me one moment.

1179
01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:27,290
Captain Batten.

1180
01:14:27,290 --> 01:14:29,580
I wonder if I might have a moment of
your time.

1181
01:14:31,310 --> 01:14:32,960
I'm afraid I didn't know her name.

1182
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,500
So far as I'm aware, she was... just
a contestant.

1183
01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:39,960
How was it you were on the judging
panel? I was invited.

1184
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,660
They sometimes ask local businessmen
to take part.

1185
01:14:42,660 --> 01:14:44,590
And counsellors. That sort of thing.

1186
01:14:44,590 --> 01:14:49,100
So, you've no private or personal
association with Val Todd?

1187
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:51,470
I might have run into him here or
there.

1188
01:14:51,470 --> 01:14:54,450
When might that have been?
The last time, say.

1189
01:14:54,450 --> 01:14:56,140
Oh.

1190
01:14:56,140 --> 01:14:57,670
Not for some while.

1191
01:14:57,670 --> 01:15:00,240
A recount. 38 votes in it.

1192
01:15:00,970 --> 01:15:03,830
Everything all right?
Oh, perfectly.

1193
01:15:04,790 --> 01:15:06,280
Well, thank you for your time.

1194
01:15:09,380 --> 01:15:11,230
Domesday. Right?

1195
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,210
If I can ever be of service.

1196
01:15:17,710 --> 01:15:20,000
# La Traviata,
The Drinking Song

1197
01:15:22,820 --> 01:15:26,400
So here we are! The moment we have
all been waiting for.

1198
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,100
The Returning Officer
for the Oxford South Constituency,

1199
01:15:30,100 --> 01:15:32,960
hereby give notice that the total
number of votes...

1200
01:15:34,250 --> 01:15:37,910
Number 7, Cheryl Atkinson from
Gagingwell! Well done, Cheryl.

1201
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,100
The total number of votes recorded
for each candidate is as follows...

1202
01:15:43,100 --> 01:15:45,070
Operations Room?

1203
01:15:45,070 --> 01:15:47,770
Can you put me through
to MoD Lydd Barracks, please?

1204
01:15:47,770 --> 01:15:55,090
Greville Horatio, Conservative -
26,326 votes.

1205
01:15:55,090 --> 01:15:57,590
Yolande Barton from Cuxham!
Well done, Yolande!

1206
01:15:59,440 --> 01:16:02,090
And, finally, your winner is...

1207
01:16:02,100 --> 01:16:05,920
And I hereby declare that Barbara
Batten is duly elected.

1208
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,490
Member of Parliament for the
constituency.

1209
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:14,530
Thank you.

1210
01:16:17,510 --> 01:16:19,440
Well done, Georgia!
Well done, Georgia!

1211
01:16:24,310 --> 01:16:28,900
They say behind every great man
there is a woman.

1212
01:16:30,330 --> 01:16:35,520
I would just like to take this
opportunity to thank my husband, Archie,

1213
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,690
and our daughter, Kitty.

1214
01:16:37,700 --> 01:16:41,400
Without them, I would not be
standing here today.

1215
01:16:53,930 --> 01:16:55,580
Evening, sir.

1216
01:16:56,390 --> 01:16:59,560
Morse, what is this? Telling us to
park up out of sight?

1217
01:17:00,130 --> 01:17:02,540
Thursday, are you in on this?
More or less, sir.

1218
01:17:02,540 --> 01:17:05,950
It's the Frida Yelland killing. And the
man off the Rates Office roof. Pettifer.

1219
01:17:06,050 --> 01:17:09,470
I thought we were holding this
Beaufort robbery pair for that?

1220
01:17:09,470 --> 01:17:11,840
In the clear, sir - of the killings
at least.

1221
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,700
Delfarge and his mate knocked off the
Trove by themselves, purely for gain.

1222
01:17:15,700 --> 01:17:17,800
Frida Yelland passed
through their hands, but

1223
01:17:17,820 --> 01:17:19,630
that's their only connection
to all this. Morse.

1224
01:17:19,630 --> 01:17:23,170
You were right, sir. Yesterday.
I was wrong. Spectacularly so.

1225
01:17:23,170 --> 01:17:25,580
Worse still, I was disrespectful to
you,

1226
01:17:25,590 --> 01:17:27,880
to Inspector Thursday
and to Sergeant Jakes.

1227
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,060
And for that, I apologise
unreservedly. You were not yourself.

1228
01:17:31,060 --> 01:17:32,590
Thank you for saying so, sir,

1229
01:17:32,590 --> 01:17:35,560
but the truth is I was myself all too
much. It won't happen again.

1230
01:17:35,570 --> 01:17:38,420
So, what's the caper, dragging us
out of our kip at sparrows?

1231
01:17:38,420 --> 01:17:40,890
Like I said, I was wrong.
About most all of it.

1232
01:17:40,900 --> 01:17:43,370
It wasn't Pettifer had it upside down.
It was me.

1233
01:17:43,370 --> 01:17:48,480
81086 wasn't 8-1086, but I couldn't
see past the theft at Beaufort.

1234
01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:51,420
I over-thought it. It was 98018 all
along.

1235
01:17:51,420 --> 01:17:52,950
It's a Lodge number.

1236
01:17:52,950 --> 01:17:56,810
Captain Archie Batten and Val Todd
are members of Lodge No.98018, sir.

1237
01:17:56,810 --> 01:17:58,910
Also known as the Domesday Lodge.

1238
01:17:59,550 --> 01:18:01,360
D-Day. You had that right.

1239
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,140
By luck, not by judgment.
I misread the context.

1240
01:18:04,140 --> 01:18:05,990
Val Todd and Captain Batten?

1241
01:18:05,990 --> 01:18:09,170
Conspired to murder Frida Yelland
and John Pettifer, sir,

1242
01:18:09,170 --> 01:18:10,850
though I doubt either of
them committed the act.

1243
01:18:10,860 --> 01:18:12,550
That fell to another.

1244
01:18:12,550 --> 01:18:16,170
But Frida Yelland was killed right
here - in this cabin.

1245
01:18:16,170 --> 01:18:19,710
Val Todd knew the place from his days
as an Entertainments Officer.

1246
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:24,220
Morse, are you sure about this? These
men are pillars of Oxford society.

1247
01:18:26,050 --> 01:18:28,120
Proof of the pudding, sir.
Best get out of sight.

1248
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,290
Well? What's so important?

1249
01:18:53,290 --> 01:18:55,350
You wanted to see me. Eh?

1250
01:18:56,230 --> 01:18:58,730
You're the one who called this one.

1251
01:18:58,730 --> 01:19:02,470
"'We must meet up. 0400.
You know where. Don't call me."

1252
01:19:02,470 --> 01:19:04,120
That's the message you sent me.

1253
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:07,220
Actually, it's the same message
that I sent both of you.

1254
01:19:07,220 --> 01:19:09,870
One signed with an A, and one with a
V.

1255
01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:11,400
What is this?

1256
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,490
This, Mr Todd, is conspiracy to
murder.

1257
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:18,240
The three of you plotted and executed the
killing of Frida Yelland and John Pettifer.

1258
01:19:19,330 --> 01:19:20,860
This is madness.

1259
01:19:20,860 --> 01:19:24,680
That's what I thought at first, but we spoke
tonight to the maitre d' at the hotel

1260
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:26,890
where the Henley heat of
the contest was held.

1261
01:19:26,900 --> 01:19:29,670
He confirmed a record of a dinner
reservation for two,

1262
01:19:29,670 --> 01:19:31,970
in your name, on the night of the
competition.

1263
01:19:31,970 --> 01:19:35,830
We showed him a photograph of Frida. He
confirmed she was your dinner companion.

1264
01:19:35,830 --> 01:19:37,960
It... It was just supper.

1265
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:42,190
I felt sorry for her. She'd taken not
winning the competition quite hard.

1266
01:19:42,190 --> 01:19:44,120
There was more to it than that.

1267
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,300
She'd remembered your name
from the letter you'd written,

1268
01:19:47,300 --> 01:19:50,400
offering your condolences
upon the death of her father.

1269
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,050
When did she bring it up? Before? Or
after?

1270
01:19:53,050 --> 01:19:54,940
You knew my dad.

1271
01:19:55,630 --> 01:19:57,360
In the war.

1272
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,650
Private Spurling.

1273
01:19:59,650 --> 01:20:02,830
You sent my mum ever such a nice
letter.

1274
01:20:15,170 --> 01:20:17,300
I don't doubt you denied it.

1275
01:20:17,300 --> 01:20:19,800
But Frida wasn't the kind of woman
to leave it at that.

1276
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,370
She wrote to the regiment,

1277
01:20:21,370 --> 01:20:24,340
seeing if they had photographs
of you and her father together.

1278
01:20:24,340 --> 01:20:26,320
They've kept her letter on file.

1279
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:29,250
Of course, having taken her
step-father's name,

1280
01:20:29,250 --> 01:20:31,790
you'd no way of knowing
before you slept with her

1281
01:20:31,790 --> 01:20:34,450
that Frida Yelland was in fact Frida
Spurling.

1282
01:20:35,130 --> 01:20:37,140
Your own daughter.

1283
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,650
You couldn't risk her finding that
out.

1284
01:20:43,420 --> 01:20:46,190
See, it wasn't Private Spurling
who'd died in the war,

1285
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:47,930
but Captain Archibald Batten.

1286
01:20:48,730 --> 01:20:51,630
You'd got Frida's mother pregnant
and done the decent thing,

1287
01:20:51,630 --> 01:20:53,160
but you didn't love her.

1288
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,970
So when Captain Batten died
on long range patrol...

1289
01:20:55,970 --> 01:20:57,950
you saw an opportunity.

1290
01:20:57,950 --> 01:21:03,300
You took his identity, his rank...
created a new life for yourself.

1291
01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:05,510
Married - bigamously.

1292
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,330
You even wrote home as Captain
Batten

1293
01:21:08,330 --> 01:21:10,740
to offer your condolences to Elspeth
Spurling.

1294
01:21:10,740 --> 01:21:12,920
Your own widow, still mourning for
you.

1295
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,770
If Frida had discovered the truth,
it would have brought ruin

1296
01:21:15,770 --> 01:21:18,550
not only upon yourself, but also
upon your new wife and family.

1297
01:21:18,550 --> 01:21:21,850
You couldn't let that happen, so you
approached Mr Todd to get you out of a hole.

1298
01:21:21,850 --> 01:21:24,550
And why not? By introducing you to
Frida Yelland,

1299
01:21:24,550 --> 01:21:26,720
it could be argued he'd got you into
that hole.

1300
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,090
Wait a minute.
You needed someone you could trust.

1301
01:21:29,090 --> 01:21:31,550
Someone you could rely on
to keep their mouth shut.

1302
01:21:32,430 --> 01:21:37,300
Who better than a member of a society who
relies upon secrecy for its very existence?

1303
01:21:38,230 --> 01:21:40,120
Your Brother Mason - Val Todd.

1304
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,650
You misunderstand the nature of our
fellowship.

1305
01:21:42,650 --> 01:21:44,220
But not the nature of business.

1306
01:21:44,220 --> 01:21:47,760
If Mrs Batten were elected, she'd be
well placed to further your interests.

1307
01:21:47,770 --> 01:21:50,540
You might've got away with it too.
But murder will out.

1308
01:21:51,870 --> 01:21:53,920
We've got your wife to thank for
that.

1309
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,380
She thought you were having an
affair with Diana Day,

1310
01:21:56,380 --> 01:21:58,590
so she hired Pettifer to keep tabs
on you.

1311
01:21:58,590 --> 01:22:01,610
He saw you collect Frida from the
station and followed you here.

1312
01:22:02,700 --> 01:22:05,830
You go in, darling. I'll be with you
in a second. OK.

1313
01:22:08,090 --> 01:22:12,590
I imagine she thought you were giving
her another shot at fame and fortune,

1314
01:22:12,590 --> 01:22:14,730
but she was walking to her death.

1315
01:22:17,670 --> 01:22:19,720
Don't bring me into this.

1316
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,420
You are in this - up to your neck.

1317
01:22:35,130 --> 01:22:37,430
You'd planned to dump her body in the
river,

1318
01:22:37,430 --> 01:22:39,480
only you were disturbed.

1319
01:22:47,390 --> 01:22:49,680
So you had to think of somewhere
else,

1320
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,340
somewhere with strictly controlled
access,

1321
01:22:52,340 --> 01:22:54,830
known only to a few academics at
Beaufort...

1322
01:22:57,690 --> 01:22:59,980
and, of course, yourself,

1323
01:22:59,980 --> 01:23:03,520
the pest control officer hired in '63
to rid the college of its rat problem.

1324
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,410
Evening coming on, light fading,

1325
01:23:11,410 --> 01:23:14,390
a flashbulb would have
betrayed Pettifer's presence.

1326
01:23:14,390 --> 01:23:16,200
But this was an opportunity too good
to miss.

1327
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,290
So he came back in the daytime
to make his record.

1328
01:23:21,670 --> 01:23:23,200
He took just enough photographs

1329
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,700
to make you think he had more
he was keeping back.

1330
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:28,070
So you arranged to meet for the
payoff.

1331
01:23:28,070 --> 01:23:31,570
With all eyes on the pageant on The
Broad, it was the perfect opportunity.

1332
01:23:33,630 --> 01:23:35,110
Go on.

1333
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,900
If the roof of the Rates Office
seemed an odd rendezvous,

1334
01:23:39,900 --> 01:23:44,130
Pettifer wasn't concerned. He'd already
left his evidence in a secret place.

1335
01:23:44,130 --> 01:23:48,880
In exchange for the money, he'd hand over the
pawn ticket but he never got the chance.

1336
01:23:52,300 --> 01:23:55,600
So you sent someone to his office
to see if there were any copies.

1337
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:01,310
Luckily for me, Mr Batten isn't quite so
well versed in wielding a cosh as Mr Frisco,

1338
01:24:01,310 --> 01:24:02,880
else I might not be here.

1339
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,970
I didn't want... Shut up!

1340
01:24:07,970 --> 01:24:10,750
They'd have nicked us if they had
any proof. Proof?

1341
01:24:11,430 --> 01:24:14,330
Beyond the fact
that you came here this morning?

1342
01:24:14,330 --> 01:24:18,150
Morse's message made no mention of a
rendezvous beyond "You know where."

1343
01:24:18,150 --> 01:24:21,130
Decent brief will rip that to
shreds. Perhaps.

1344
01:24:21,130 --> 01:24:23,750
But he'll have a harder time with
your cigar.

1345
01:24:28,390 --> 01:24:31,520
You didn't think we'd come looking
for a scene of crime.

1346
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:36,430
But I doubt anyone else in the past two
weeks has smoked a Romeo y Julieta here.

1347
01:24:47,330 --> 01:24:50,670
It wasn't meant to happen like this.
He was just meant to scare her off.

1348
01:24:50,670 --> 01:24:53,160
Maybe. But that's not how it went.

1349
01:24:53,170 --> 01:24:54,530
What...?

1350
01:24:54,530 --> 01:24:56,870
You think I'd...

1351
01:24:56,870 --> 01:24:58,960
My own daughter?

1352
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:00,810
My daughter.

1353
01:25:01,780 --> 01:25:03,670
All right. Take them in.

1354
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,300
All this over some little nobody
from nowhere.

1355
01:25:19,300 --> 01:25:21,600
Everybody's somebody.

1356
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:23,930
Frida Yelland had people who loved
her.

1357
01:25:23,930 --> 01:25:26,590
That cigar butt could go missing,
couldn't it?

1358
01:25:27,270 --> 01:25:29,690
Evidence disappears all the time.
Right?

1359
01:25:30,930 --> 01:25:34,390
What I'm trying to say is...
it's still not too late for you.

1360
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:35,920
It just depends.

1361
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,650
On what?

1362
01:25:37,650 --> 01:25:40,710
On whether you want powerful
friends, or powerful enemies.

1363
01:25:40,710 --> 01:25:44,620
A bunch of overgrown schoolboys
playing with the dressing-up box?

1364
01:25:44,620 --> 01:25:46,790
You really don't have a clue, do
you?

1365
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,690
You cross these people,
they will bring you down.

1366
01:25:51,620 --> 01:25:55,120
But not before they've destroyed
everything you hold dear.

1367
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:59,380
Colleagues... friends... family.

1368
01:25:59,390 --> 01:26:01,520
Every action has its consequence.

1369
01:26:04,980 --> 01:26:06,990
# Denn Alles Fleisch

1370
01:27:06,870 --> 01:27:10,900
And it would be inopportune
not to thank Oxford City Police

1371
01:27:10,900 --> 01:27:14,920
for their vital role in restoring
the Trove to its rightful place.

1372
01:27:40,490 --> 01:27:42,490
Copley-Barnes gave me an earful.

1373
01:27:42,750 --> 01:27:44,840
Said he'd remember you.

1374
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,180
Vainglorious fool like that?

1375
01:27:47,180 --> 01:27:50,160
I doubt it. Too self-obsessed by
half.

1376
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,890
I can't help feeling like
I've missed something.

1377
01:27:53,620 --> 01:27:57,640
You have. Your round. And it
wouldn't be the first time.

1378
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:01,020
You don't want to let a little
tripehound like Todd bother you.

1379
01:28:01,020 --> 01:28:02,710
I'm not.

1380
01:28:02,710 --> 01:28:03,880
Good.

1381
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:07,060
Cos his sort's nowt a pound - and
shit's tuppence.

1382
01:28:07,780 --> 01:28:09,920
As my grandma used to say.

1383
01:28:11,850 --> 01:28:13,660
Northerner.

1384
01:28:15,110 --> 01:28:16,800
Right...

1385
01:28:20,460 --> 01:28:22,550
Luncheon meat.
