What a tumble!

363
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,078
I'm so sorry,
it should have been cleaned.

364
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:18,913
I'll have to give Mrs. T.
a piece of my mind.

365
00:17:20,915 --> 00:17:23,918
I'll need to take these glasses
and champagne bottles with me.

something wrong?

Heavens.

369
00:17:31,217 --> 00:17:33,803
What time did he check out,
Mr. Smith?

370
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:37,849
I don't know-- I came on
at 7:00 in the morning,

371
00:17:38,016 --> 00:17:38,892
and by then,
he'd already gone,

372
00:17:39,059 --> 00:17:41,019
so he must
have left early.

373
00:17:41,186 --> 00:17:44,355
Or late.

was noted at a motel just

And a man answering
your description

415

was seen in the company

Trust me,
I've met her.

428
00:19:46,644 --> 00:19:48,021
Why would she lie
about her name?

429
00:19:48,188 --> 00:19:49,480
For the same reason
you checked into the hotel

430
00:19:49,647 --> 00:19:51,733
under the name of Smith,
perhaps?

431
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:54,694
Because she's married.

Two-and-a-half months.

00:20:00,992 --> 00:20:02,994
And what did you do Sunday?

436
00:20:05,288 --> 00:20:07,123
We had lunch.
Mm-hmm.

437
00:20:07,290 --> 00:20:08,499
Went back to the room.

438
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:11,586
I dropped her
at Kings Oak station.

439
00:20:11,753 --> 00:20:13,922
She was going to catch
the train back to Oxford.

443
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:23,097
I clocked off.

444
00:20:24,182 --> 00:20:25,600
Is that usual?

445
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:27,060
To leave
the station unmanned?

446
00:20:27,227 --> 00:20:29,354
Well, it wasn't,
strictly speaking.

447
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,855
We live
above the shop.

448
00:20:31,022 --> 00:20:32,774
My wife's expecting,

449
00:20:32,941 --> 00:20:35,735
Thought the baby
was coming.

450
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:37,195
The ticket office
at Kings Oak

451
00:20:37,362 --> 00:20:39,697
said there are no direct trains
through to Oxford

452
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:41,491
at that time of a Sunday.

453
00:20:41,658 --> 00:20:43,076
So she'd've had
to change here.

454
00:20:43,243 --> 00:20:44,911
That's right,
ordinarily.

455
00:20:45,078 --> 00:20:46,204

Well, if anyone
was stuck,

Come on.

475
00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:30,915
Don't take on.

She'll turn up.

478
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:35,503
Probably just had a row
with her old man.

Yeah.
Mm-hmm.

480

and a pair of shoes

484
00:21:44,887 --> 00:21:45,847
not accounted for.

once a week, unannounced,

496
00:22:23,384 --> 00:22:26,179
as a way of avoiding
closing the line altogether.

497
00:22:26,346 --> 00:22:28,222
And one ran here
Sunday night?

And those stations

514

901
00:45:03,159 --> 00:45:04,369
Don't tempt me.

902
00:45:05,787 --> 00:45:08,039
As bad as that?

903
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:09,582
Try sitting in a motor

904
00:45:09,749 --> 00:45:11,334
for half a day
with two sarky Charlies

905
00:45:11,501 --> 00:45:12,961
who'd sooner
you weren't there

906
00:45:13,128 --> 00:45:14,462
and aren't too polite
to let you know it.

907
00:45:14,629 --> 00:45:18,258
They treat me like
I'm bloody invisible.

908
00:45:18,425 --> 00:45:20,385

909
00:45:23,304 --> 00:45:24,806
I guess
you get that a bit,

910
00:45:24,973 --> 00:45:25,807
being in uniform.

911
00:45:25,974 --> 00:45:27,976
Uniform.

912
00:45:28,143 --> 00:45:32,856
Of course,
I wondered what it was.

913
00:45:33,022 --> 00:45:37,318
You might want to take a look
at Lloyd Collins.

914
00:45:37,485 --> 00:45:39,904
West Indian--
Jamaican, possibly.

915
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:42,991
He's got a record stall
in Brennan Street Market.

916
00:45:43,158 --> 00:45:44,909
Running an M.O.T. failure
of a van

917
00:45:45,076 --> 00:45:48,163
registered
to 43B Hartford Road.

918
00:45:49,247 --> 00:45:50,331
And?

919
00:45:50,498 --> 00:45:52,125
You asked me to be
on the lookout

920
00:45:52,292 --> 00:45:53,376
for Kilorran whisky.

921
00:45:53,543 --> 00:45:55,170
He's using
a bit of cardboard

922
00:45:55,336 --> 00:45:56,755
from a case of the same
on his stall.

923
00:45:56,921 --> 00:45:58,339
His prices are written
on the back.

924
00:45:58,506 --> 00:46:01,009
But...

925
00:46:01,176 --> 00:46:03,136
I can't put that
to Robbery.

926
00:46:03,303 --> 00:46:06,973
He's also not above
dealing in stolen goods.

927
00:46:07,140 --> 00:46:09,267
There's an LP on his stall
from Morse's flat.

928
00:46:09,434 --> 00:46:11,519
He was burgled
last autumn.

929
00:46:15,565 --> 00:46:17,567
Collar like that, you could
make a name for yourself.

930
00:46:17,734 --> 00:46:19,360
(chuckles)

931
00:46:21,529 --> 00:46:23,406
So...

932
00:46:23,573 --> 00:46:25,116
Why tell me?

933
00:46:27,368 --> 00:46:31,164
Because I'm all heart.

934
00:46:33,875 --> 00:46:34,834
You're the detective.

935
00:46:35,001 --> 00:46:38,630
I'm just a uniform,
remember?

936
00:46:44,344 --> 00:46:46,179
MERCER:
<i>I don't know,
we just hit it off.</i>

937
00:46:46,346 --> 00:46:48,932
There was a... connection.

938
00:46:50,433 --> 00:46:52,894
I gave her a lift
back to the station.

939
00:46:53,061 --> 00:46:54,395
It just started.

940
00:46:54,562 --> 00:46:56,105
Nothing just starts,
Mr. Mercer,

941
00:46:56,272 --> 00:46:58,858
unless someone
wants it to.

942
00:46:59,025 --> 00:47:00,652
Did she tell you
she was pregnant?

943
00:47:00,819 --> 00:47:02,529
Two months gone.

944
00:47:02,695 --> 00:47:06,199
MORSE:
About the same time you started
seeing her, wasn't it?

945
00:47:06,366 --> 00:47:10,286
I imagine that might put you
in the soup at home.

946
00:47:10,453 --> 00:47:13,456
Marriage, kids--
work, as like as not.

947
00:47:13,623 --> 00:47:15,583
All of it up in smoke.

948
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:17,710
A man might take it
upon himself

949
00:47:17,877 --> 00:47:19,045
to do something
about it.

950
00:47:19,212 --> 00:47:21,214
Not meaning to,
of course, but...

951
00:47:21,381 --> 00:47:22,298
No.

952
00:47:22,465 --> 00:47:23,591
...put on the spot
like that.

953
00:47:23,758 --> 00:47:26,511
Is that how it went?
No, there's...

954
00:47:26,678 --> 00:47:28,763
I'd never...

955
00:47:28,930 --> 00:47:29,973
Well, it could've been
her husband's, couldn't it?

956
00:47:30,139 --> 00:47:31,474
You didn't know
she had a husband.

957
00:47:31,641 --> 00:47:33,601
So you claim.

958
00:47:33,768 --> 00:47:35,311
So any child
would be down to you.

959
00:47:35,478 --> 00:47:38,523
It was only meant
to be a bit of fun.

960
00:47:38,690 --> 00:47:40,859
I, I didn't sign on
for all that.

961
00:47:41,025 --> 00:47:42,443
I told her,

962
00:47:42,610 --> 00:47:43,611
if she was keeping
the damn thing,

963
00:47:43,778 --> 00:47:45,780
to stick it up
for adoption.

964
00:47:45,947 --> 00:47:46,906
Either way, I wasn't going
to be around.

965
00:47:47,073 --> 00:47:49,325
Gallant to the last.

966
00:47:51,536 --> 00:47:53,997
So you didn't take her
to Kings Oak station?

967
00:47:54,163 --> 00:47:55,039
MERCER:
It wasn't even half a mile.

968
00:47:55,206 --> 00:47:56,833
I told her she could walk it.

969
00:48:00,461 --> 00:48:02,755
And was she wearing
her shoes?

970
00:48:02,922 --> 00:48:06,509
Far as I remember--
why?

971
00:48:06,676 --> 00:48:07,886
Just a line of inquiry.

972
00:48:08,052 --> 00:48:09,596
Right, twist it
how you like,

973
00:48:09,762 --> 00:48:11,389
but there's no way
I'd've laid a finger on her.

974
00:48:11,556 --> 00:48:14,225
Not for that.

975
00:48:14,392 --> 00:48:15,643
When I left her
at the roundabout,

976
00:48:15,810 --> 00:48:18,730
she was safe and well.

"She was lonely,
I was lonely.

980
00:48:33,077 --> 00:48:34,287
One thing led
to another."

981
00:48:36,039 --> 00:48:37,874

00:53:58,444 --> 00:53:59,362
Rex!

1077
00:53:59,528 --> 00:54:01,822
(ringing bell):
Come on.

1078
00:54:02,907 --> 00:54:04,700
(Rex barking)

1079
00:54:06,369 --> 00:54:07,995
Come on, boy.

1080
00:54:10,289 --> 00:54:12,083
(bell drops)

1081
00:54:21,175 --> 00:54:24,637
(sonata ends)

1082
00:54:24,804 --> 00:54:29,517
(birds chirping, bell tolling)

1083
00:54:31,978 --> 00:54:32,895
(engine backfires, Fancy gasps)

1084
00:54:34,897 --> 00:54:38,359
(dogs barking)

1085
00:54:42,196 --> 00:54:44,991
♪♪

1086
00:54:50,079 --> 00:54:52,331
What's your business
with my van?

1087
00:54:52,498 --> 00:54:53,332
Lloyd?

1088
00:54:53,499 --> 00:54:55,084
Who wants to know?

1089
00:54:55,251 --> 00:54:59,255
I heard you might be
the man to talk to.

1090
00:54:59,422 --> 00:55:01,048
About what now?

1091
00:55:01,215 --> 00:55:02,633
Well...

1092
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,427
where a man could get his hands
on some decent Scotch.

1093
00:55:04,593 --> 00:55:06,178
And where you hear that?

1094
00:55:06,345 --> 00:55:09,223
Just...
up the market.

1095
00:55:09,390 --> 00:55:11,809
Rarse, man.

1096
00:55:11,976 --> 00:55:13,144
Me got nothing for you.

1097
00:55:13,311 --> 00:55:15,187
Come on,
help a fellow out.

1098
00:55:15,354 --> 00:55:17,773
I've... I've got a party

1099
00:55:17,940 --> 00:55:19,150
at college,

1100
00:55:19,317 --> 00:55:21,694
and I've got
to get the bar stocked.

1101
00:55:21,861 --> 00:55:23,237
The college, you say?

1102
00:55:23,404 --> 00:55:26,490
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

1103
00:55:29,702 --> 00:55:31,620
Leave me your number.

1104
00:55:31,787 --> 00:55:32,913
Me see
what me can do.

1105
00:55:36,083 --> 00:55:38,836
(men talking indistinctly)

1106
00:55:42,089 --> 00:55:43,591
MAX:
Gentlemen

1107
00:55:45,885 --> 00:55:47,094
Doctor.

1108
00:55:50,056 --> 00:55:51,432
I'm afraid
we don't have a name

1109
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:54,435
for her yet.
It's Anoushka Nolan.

1110
00:55:54,602 --> 00:55:56,604
So which station is it
we're by here?

1111
00:55:56,771 --> 00:55:58,230
Slepe Bridge.

1112
00:55:58,397 --> 00:55:59,565
STRANGE:
Same as where Linda Gresham
was found.

1113
00:55:59,732 --> 00:56:00,816
Oh, yes.

1114
00:56:00,983 --> 00:56:02,109
I thought
it felt familiar.

1115
00:56:02,276 --> 00:56:04,028
STRANGE:
Any similarities?

1116
00:56:04,195 --> 00:56:05,654
To this?

1117
00:56:05,821 --> 00:56:08,032
Well, by dint
of location.

1118
00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:11,660
And her hands
were tied.

1119
00:56:11,827 --> 00:56:13,579
It was kept out of
the papers, but

1120
00:56:13,746 --> 00:56:15,581
Linda Gresham's strangulation
involved a ligature.

1121
00:56:15,748 --> 00:56:17,666
Her own bra.

1122
00:56:17,833 --> 00:56:19,001
This was manual.

1123
00:56:19,168 --> 00:56:21,087
Hands bound, mind.

1124
00:56:21,253 --> 00:56:22,630
Same type of sash-cord.

1125
00:56:22,797 --> 00:56:24,632
Same type of knot.

1126
00:56:24,799 --> 00:56:26,050
Just like
Frances Porter.

1127
00:56:26,217 --> 00:56:27,426
But he hasn't taken
her shoes.

1128
00:56:27,593 --> 00:56:28,969
MAX:
No.

1129
00:56:29,136 --> 00:56:33,557
It's got to be more
than some sex killer

1130
00:56:33,724 --> 00:56:35,601
targeting women at random,
hasn't it?

1131
00:56:35,768 --> 00:56:37,311
MORSE:
Maybe that's what
we're meant to think.

1132
00:56:39,563 --> 00:56:41,732
Maybe this whole
railway connection is...

1133
00:56:41,899 --> 00:56:42,983
just window dressing.

1134
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:44,860
Copycat, you mean?

1135
00:56:45,027 --> 00:56:46,445
Mm-hmm.

1136
00:56:46,612 --> 00:56:48,322
Based on newspaper accounts
of Linda Gresham.

1137
00:56:48,489 --> 00:56:51,700
But whoever's behind it
got it wrong.

1138
00:56:51,867 --> 00:56:53,160
He didn't know
Linda Gresham

1139
00:56:53,327 --> 00:56:54,912
had been strangled
with her own bra.

1140
00:56:55,079 --> 00:56:57,415
Or that her shoes
had been taken.

1141
00:56:57,581 --> 00:56:59,917
What about
Frances Porter's shoes?

1142
00:57:00,084 --> 00:57:01,502
They'd been taken.

1143
00:57:01,669 --> 00:57:04,380
Yes, but that was before,
not after, her murder.

1144
00:57:04,547 --> 00:57:06,090
It looked like she'd been
walking for miles.

1145
00:57:06,257 --> 00:57:07,425
The soles of her feet

1146
00:57:07,591 --> 00:57:09,218
were all scratched
and filthy.

1147
00:57:11,262 --> 00:57:12,638
So what connects
Frances Porter

1148
00:57:12,805 --> 00:57:13,848
to Anoushka Nolan?

1149
00:57:15,724 --> 00:57:16,934
<i>(door chime rings)</i>

1150
00:57:17,101 --> 00:57:18,310
MORSE:
<i>Mr. Bedlo.</i>

1151
00:57:21,897 --> 00:57:22,940
This about Frances?

1152
00:57:23,107 --> 00:57:26,402
In a manner of speaking.

1153
00:57:26,569 --> 00:57:28,028
No Miss Nolan today?

1154
00:57:28,195 --> 00:57:29,572
You're telling me.

1155
00:57:29,738 --> 00:57:31,657
I had to open up
myself.

1156
00:57:31,824 --> 00:57:33,409
She was in a pretty bad way
over Frances.

1157
00:57:33,576 --> 00:57:35,661
I let her go home early
last night.

1158
00:57:35,828 --> 00:57:37,163
You want to talk
to her,

1159
00:57:37,329 --> 00:57:38,831
maybe try again
this afternoon.

1160
00:57:41,584 --> 00:57:43,169
What were your movements
last night, Mr. Bedlo?

1161
00:57:43,335 --> 00:57:46,672
After you'd closed up.

1162
00:57:46,839 --> 00:57:48,007
Last night?

1163
00:57:48,174 --> 00:57:49,508
I was at home.

1164
00:57:49,675 --> 00:57:51,552
Anyone vouch for you?

1165
00:57:51,719 --> 00:57:53,012
Do they need to?

1166
00:57:53,179 --> 00:57:54,472
You drive a car,
Mr. Bedlo?

1167
00:57:54,638 --> 00:57:56,807
Yeah, I have a car.

1168
00:57:56,974 --> 00:57:58,184
What's this about?

1169
00:57:58,350 --> 00:57:59,768
THURSDAY:
Anoushka Nolan was found

1170
00:57:59,935 --> 00:58:03,105
just after 7:00 this morning
by a dog walker.

1171
00:58:03,272 --> 00:58:04,732
How do you mean "found"?

1172
00:58:06,650 --> 00:58:08,486
Dead, Mr. Bedlo.

1173
00:58:08,652 --> 00:58:09,653
Strangled.

1174
00:58:09,820 --> 00:58:11,906
Same as Frances Porter.

1175
00:58:12,072 --> 00:58:14,909
(psychedelic rock music playing)

1176
00:58:17,912 --> 00:58:19,371
Coloreds?

1177
00:58:19,538 --> 00:58:20,998
You're dreaming, son.

1178
00:58:21,165 --> 00:58:22,958
Lorry load of Scotch
and fags?

1179
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:26,420
That's white man's
mischief.

1180
00:58:26,587 --> 00:58:28,797
They haven't got it up here
for that kind of caper.

1181
00:58:28,964 --> 00:58:31,342
Too much like hard work.

1182
00:58:31,509 --> 00:58:34,929
Where's this come from?

1183
00:58:35,095 --> 00:58:36,514
MORSE:
<i>Where were you</i>

1184
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,558
in 1964, Mr. Bedlo?

1185
00:58:41,519 --> 00:58:42,978
All over.

1186
00:58:43,145 --> 00:58:45,523
I was flogging miniskirts
out the back of a van.

1187
00:58:45,689 --> 00:58:46,690
Mary Quant.

1188
00:58:46,857 --> 00:58:48,651
Markets.

1189
00:58:48,817 --> 00:58:51,362
Here. Midlands, mainly.

1190
00:58:51,529 --> 00:58:53,906
Headington?

1191
00:58:54,073 --> 00:58:57,660
Yeah.

1192
00:58:57,826 --> 00:58:59,286
I said all over.

1193
00:58:59,453 --> 00:59:03,123
Did you ever know a girl
called Linda Gresham?

1194
00:59:03,290 --> 00:59:07,836
(photograph sliding
across table)

1195
00:59:08,003 --> 00:59:09,129
MORSE:
Her.

1196
00:59:09,296 --> 00:59:10,714
She's a school kid.

1197
00:59:10,881 --> 00:59:12,174
THURSDAY:
Popular with teenagers,

1198
00:59:12,341 --> 00:59:14,593
I'd've thought.

1199
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:15,928
Miniskirts.

1200
00:59:16,095 --> 00:59:19,515
So?

1201
00:59:19,682 --> 00:59:21,016
Who is she?

1202
00:59:21,183 --> 00:59:22,518
She was murdered
in 1964.

1203
00:59:22,685 --> 00:59:24,311
Her body was left out

1204
00:59:24,478 --> 00:59:27,356
by Slepe Bridge station, the
same place as Anoushka Nolan.

1205
00:59:27,523 --> 00:59:29,024
Wait, whoa, whoa, wait.

1206
00:59:29,191 --> 00:59:30,859
What is this?

1207
00:59:31,026 --> 00:59:32,778
When it comes to crumpet,
I'm not a guy that has to try.

1208
00:59:32,945 --> 00:59:34,363
You know what I mean?

1209
00:59:34,530 --> 00:59:36,740
It's been reported to us
that you tried it on

1210
00:59:36,907 --> 00:59:39,368
with both Frances Porter
and Anoushka Nolan.

1211
00:59:39,535 --> 00:59:41,328
I don't care
what anyone says.

1212
00:59:41,495 --> 00:59:43,038
I never laid a finger.

1213
00:59:43,205 --> 00:59:44,623
On either of 'em.

1214
00:59:44,790 --> 00:59:46,834
Or this Linda girl.

1215
00:59:47,001 --> 00:59:48,460
Never.

1216
00:59:48,627 --> 00:59:50,421
Not once.

1217
00:59:50,588 --> 00:59:52,673
BRIGHT:
<i>A man would have to be mad,
wouldn't he?</i>

1218
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,010
Murdering two members
of his own staff?

1219
00:59:56,176 --> 00:59:58,429
It doesn't add up.
It might.

1220
00:59:58,596 --> 01:00:00,139
It starts
with Frances Porter.

1221
01:00:00,306 --> 01:00:01,890
She's the original crime.

1222
01:00:02,057 --> 01:00:04,393
And if Anoushka Nolan found
something out about that...

1223
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:05,769
stumbled on some
piece of evidence

1224
01:00:05,936 --> 01:00:07,229
which would give the game away.

1225
01:00:07,396 --> 01:00:08,772
Then we have a motive.

1226
01:00:08,939 --> 01:00:10,149
So maybe the child
isn't Don Mercer's.

1227
01:00:10,316 --> 01:00:11,984
Maybe it's
Marty Bedlo's.

1228
01:00:12,151 --> 01:00:13,986
BRIGHT:
Mrs. Porter was sleeping
with two men now

1229
01:00:14,153 --> 01:00:15,446
besides her husband?

1230
01:00:15,613 --> 01:00:17,948
Oh, it's
just speculation, sir.

1231
01:00:18,115 --> 01:00:19,366
I don't know what
the world's come to.

1232
01:00:19,533 --> 01:00:20,784
Truly, I don't.

1233
01:00:20,951 --> 01:00:22,620
A man would come
by greater moral instruction

1234
01:00:22,786 --> 01:00:24,955
in a monkey house.

1235
01:00:25,122 --> 01:00:26,582
(door opens)

1236
01:00:29,668 --> 01:00:30,878
Results through
on the vehicle tracks

1237
01:00:31,045 --> 01:00:32,838
from the Waddington Junction
hijack.

1238
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:34,590
Said you were
to be on the lookout

1239
01:00:34,757 --> 01:00:38,677
for a van with a one odd tire
on the rear off side.

1240
01:00:38,844 --> 01:00:39,887
Ah.

1241
01:00:40,054 --> 01:00:41,513
Cheers, Shirl.

1242
01:00:42,973 --> 01:00:44,016
BOX:
There you are.

1243
01:00:44,183 --> 01:00:45,726
Sir?

1244
01:00:45,893 --> 01:00:47,436
Don't bloody
"sir" me.

1245
01:00:47,603 --> 01:00:48,729
I want a word with you,
girlie.

1246
01:00:48,896 --> 01:00:50,147
What's this?

1247
01:00:50,314 --> 01:00:51,774
As you were, Tubby.

1248
01:00:51,940 --> 01:00:54,610
This is the one
I want.

1249
01:00:54,777 --> 01:00:57,029
Who do you
think you are?

1250
01:00:57,196 --> 01:00:59,531
Some sort of
detective?

1251
01:00:59,698 --> 01:01:02,660
Throwing out
your little theories.

what you are.

1253
01:01:05,037 --> 01:01:06,413
A woodentop.

1254
01:01:06,580 --> 01:01:08,624
A plonk.

1255
01:01:08,791 --> 01:01:10,459
A Person of Limited
or No Knowledge.

1256
01:01:10,626 --> 01:01:12,169

1258
01:01:15,964 --> 01:01:17,424

1259
01:01:21,470 --> 01:01:22,805
There.

1260
01:01:22,971 --> 01:01:24,473
You can run along now
and have a little cry.

1261
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,392
I'm not the crying sort.

1262

Oh, I know your sort.

1263
01:01:28,727 --> 01:01:29,853
Good for two things.

1264
01:01:31,772 --> 01:01:33,440
One of them typing.

1265
01:01:33,607 --> 01:01:36,694

through drink, sir.

1266

expressed myself harshly.

1275
01:01:56,755 --> 01:01:58,507
So be it.

1276
01:01:58,674 --> 01:02:00,300
We're a bit rough
around the edges,

1277

Indeed, then let me
put you straight.

1286

express request to Division

1287

1288
01:02:22,322 --> 01:02:23,949

1289

She was asking for it.

1297
01:02:44,219 --> 01:02:47,431
Proper little
Chief Super's pet.

1298
01:02:47,598 --> 01:02:49,475
Maybe that spot's
not so soft, eh?

1299
01:02:49,641 --> 01:02:51,310
One phone call
from me to Division,

1300
01:02:51,477 --> 01:02:53,645

facing a disciplinary board.

1301

Ask for
the Chief Constable.

1304
01:03:13,999 --> 01:03:15,667
It's a new world

Get out.

1309
01:03:26,929 --> 01:03:28,347
Go on, get out

1310

don't ever dare to show your
face in my station again,

1313
01:03:36,104 --> 01:03:37,272

1314
01:03:37,439 --> 01:03:38,565

You made it!

1320
01:04:35,664 --> 01:04:36,623
I wasn't sure
if you liked red or white,

1321
01:04:36,790 --> 01:04:37,916

Yes.

There's someone
I want you to meet.

1336

Her name's Claudine.

1337
01:05:59,289 --> 01:06:00,749
She's a photographer.

1338
01:06:00,916 --> 01:06:02,417
Well, a photojournalist.

1339

<i>Never suspecting

01:21:03,901 --> 01:21:05,403
<i>Jilly confided

You were just looking for

<i>A blockage on the line,
a change to the timetable,</i>

1638

1639

<i>Who should Jilly call</i>

1642

1643
01:21:52,533 --> 01:21:54,660
<i>...but her sister?</i>

1644
01:21:54,827 --> 01:21:58,039
I imagine you took her
to some private,

1645
01:21:58,205 --> 01:22:00,374
<i>out-of-the-way spot
close to Gibbet's End.</i>

1648

to the Linda Gresham case.</i>

1649
01:22:14,138 --> 01:22:16,599
That her killer had taken up
his old ways again.

1650
01:22:16,766 --> 01:22:20,645
THURSDAY:
Perhaps you met Linda Gresham's
mother at the care home.

1651
01:22:20,811 --> 01:22:24,899
That's what first put
the idea into your head.

1652
01:22:25,066 --> 01:22:26,734
This is crazy.

1653
01:22:26,901 --> 01:22:29,403
As if I'd harm
my own sister.

1654
01:22:29,570 --> 01:22:31,405
You acquainted yourselves
with the case

1655
01:22:31,572 --> 01:22:32,740
from the newspapers.

1656
01:22:32,907 --> 01:22:34,367
So you wouldn't know

1657
01:22:34,533 --> 01:22:36,369
that Linda Gresham
was strangled with a ligature.

1658
01:22:36,535 --> 01:22:37,995
And you made

1659
01:22:38,162 --> 01:22:39,413
the same mistake twice,

1660
01:22:39,580 --> 01:22:40,790
the second time
with Anoushka Nolan.

1661
01:22:42,541 --> 01:22:43,793
Fran, could you hang these?

1662
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:45,252
Course...
listen, do you think

1663
01:22:45,419 --> 01:22:47,046
I could borrow these shoes
and that hat

1664
01:22:47,213 --> 01:22:48,881
for the weekend?
Sure.

1665
01:22:49,048 --> 01:22:51,550
That is great.

1666
01:22:51,717 --> 01:22:52,885
It is beautiful,
isn't it?

1667
01:22:53,052 --> 01:22:54,845
Oh, wow, look
at the flower.

1668
01:22:55,012 --> 01:22:56,555

<i>This is the maddest story

You've no proof of it.

1676
01:23:44,770 --> 01:23:48,149
Who dropped the torch
at Gibbet's End?

1677
01:23:48,315 --> 01:23:50,109
You or Noel?

1678
01:23:54,196 --> 01:23:55,781
There were no fingerprints,
of course.

1679
01:23:55,948 --> 01:23:56,991
I imagine
you both wore gloves

1680
01:23:57,158 --> 01:23:58,743
on the night in question.

1681
01:23:58,909 --> 01:24:02,371
But did you wear gloves
when you put the batteries in?

1682
01:24:02,538 --> 01:24:04,165
THURSDAY:
Did you really think

1683
01:24:04,331 --> 01:24:06,751
there wouldn't be
a photo of Jilly in the papers

1684
01:24:06,917 --> 01:24:08,085
sooner or later,

1685
01:24:08,252 --> 01:24:09,420
and that Marty Bedlo
wouldn't see it

1686
01:24:09,587 --> 01:24:11,088
and realize
she wasn't you?

1687
01:24:11,255 --> 01:24:13,758
MORSE:
Or maybe you had plans
for Marty, too.

1688
01:24:20,056 --> 01:24:22,725
Actually...

1689
01:24:22,892 --> 01:24:25,603
we planned to be
a long way away by then.

1690
01:24:25,770 --> 01:24:28,856
Ah.

1691
01:24:29,023 --> 01:24:31,442
Somewhere without
an extradition treaty.

1692
01:24:31,609 --> 01:24:34,028
Well, your husband is
certainly well placed

1693
01:24:34,195 --> 01:24:36,072
to make
the travel arrangements.

1694
01:24:39,825 --> 01:24:41,827
Jilly was always the favorite.

1695
01:24:45,456 --> 01:24:47,041
Right from when we were small.

1696
01:24:47,208 --> 01:24:49,335
You know,
youngest, I suppose.

1697
01:24:51,087 --> 01:24:52,338
It was only a few years
between us,

1698
01:24:52,505 --> 01:24:55,216
but when she came along,
that was it.

1699
01:24:55,382 --> 01:24:57,259
It was like
Mum had no time for me.

1700
01:24:57,426 --> 01:24:59,720
It was all, "The baby this,"
"the baby that."

1701
01:24:59,887 --> 01:25:01,180
There was nothing
too good for her.

1702
01:25:01,347 --> 01:25:04,892
There was
ballet lessons, ice skating,

1703
01:25:05,059 --> 01:25:07,228
horse riding.
You were jealous.

1704
01:25:07,394 --> 01:25:10,064
Of the love.

1705
01:25:10,231 --> 01:25:13,109
Of the attention.

1706
01:25:13,275 --> 01:25:19,031
Up until then,
it'd been just me and my mum.

1707
01:25:21,367 --> 01:25:23,953
It was like someone had...

1708
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:28,124
...just turned off the sun.

1709
01:25:28,290 --> 01:25:31,127
She should've put me
in charge of the money.

1710
01:25:31,293 --> 01:25:32,503
I was the eldest.

1711
01:25:32,670 --> 01:25:34,213
She was your sister.

1712
01:25:34,380 --> 01:25:36,465
Oh, some sister.

1713
01:25:36,632 --> 01:25:38,843
She knew Noel's business
wasn't doing well.

1714
01:25:39,009 --> 01:25:41,137
She could've given us an advance
against the inheritance

1715
01:25:41,303 --> 01:25:42,805

1716

book those through us.
