00:17:15,068 --> 00:17:16,380
It's a scientific department,it's attached

357
00:17:16,414 --> 00:17:18,278
to Cardinal College...Yes, I know it.

358
00:17:18,313 --> 00:17:19,935
What was the nature
of the complaint?

359
00:17:19,969 --> 00:17:21,350
And about whom?

360
00:17:21,385 --> 00:17:24,284
I was just helping her downfrom a ladder.

361
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,907
She said you grabbed her breastand made a lewd comment.

362
00:17:26,942 --> 00:17:29,220
It's justa misunderstanding.

363
00:17:29,255 --> 00:17:32,672
She had big knockers,you know, proper Hindenburgs.

364
00:17:32,706 --> 00:17:35,502
Anyway, she span aroundon this ladder,

365
00:17:35,537 --> 00:17:37,470
and one of those thingscollided with my hand,

366
00:17:37,504 --> 00:17:39,610
and all I said was,so as not to embarrass her,

367
00:17:39,644 --> 00:17:41,922
I just made light of it;I said, "Well, you don't get

368
00:17:41,957 --> 00:17:43,372
many of those for the pound,do you, love?"

369
00:17:43,407 --> 00:17:45,374
And that didn't improve
the situation?

370
00:17:45,409 --> 00:17:47,307
Oh, did it buggery?

371
00:17:47,342 --> 00:17:49,585
Uh, it wasa joke, man.

372
00:17:49,620 --> 00:17:51,380
Only she didn't seethe funny side, did she?

373
00:17:51,415 --> 00:17:52,864
And made a mountainout of a molehill.

374
00:17:52,899 --> 00:17:55,902
But what do you expect?These bloody Matildabeests.

375
00:17:55,936 --> 00:17:58,215
Stuff they fill their headswith these days.

376
00:17:58,249 --> 00:17:59,561
Card carrying members

377
00:17:59,595 --> 00:18:00,941
of the comfy shoe brigade,that's what they are.

378
00:18:00,976 --> 00:18:03,496
And where were you
last night, for the record?

379
00:18:03,530 --> 00:18:06,085
Well, I wasn't on the towpathgiving Petra Cornwell what for,

380
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,672
I can tell you that.

381
00:18:07,707 --> 00:18:09,157
It's awfulwhat happened to her.

382
00:18:09,191 --> 00:18:11,469
Truly. I wouldn't wish iton my worst enemy,

383
00:18:11,504 --> 00:18:15,197
but... nothing to dowith me.

384
00:18:15,232 --> 00:18:17,268
Sir?

385
00:18:17,303 --> 00:18:21,721
Sturgis's lawyers have calledfor the case to be dismissed,

386
00:18:21,755 --> 00:18:23,964
and forhis immediate release.

387
00:18:23,999 --> 00:18:27,140
Neither Division nor the Crownwill oppose the request.

388
00:18:27,175 --> 00:18:29,073
[chuckles sardonically]Today...

389
00:18:29,867 --> 00:18:33,353
of all days.

390
00:18:33,388 --> 00:18:34,423
Sir?

391
00:18:35,873 --> 00:18:37,219
[inhales]

392
00:18:37,254 --> 00:18:40,153
My wife returns
from the United States.

393
00:18:41,879 --> 00:18:44,675
Any news on how
the treatment went, sir?

394
00:18:44,709 --> 00:18:48,368
Well, it was experimental,
but, uh...

395
00:18:48,403 --> 00:18:50,819
we're hopeful.

396
00:18:54,029 --> 00:18:55,272
It ishim, sir.

397
00:18:55,306 --> 00:18:58,965
That's nothow Division sees it.

398
00:18:58,999 --> 00:19:00,553
We have to facethe facts, Thursday.

399
00:19:00,587 --> 00:19:01,692
We got it wrong.

400
00:19:01,726 --> 00:19:03,866
Desperately,hideously so.

401
00:19:03,901 --> 00:19:06,006
We got it wrong,and the Towpath Killer

402
00:19:06,041 --> 00:19:07,939
remains at large.

403
00:19:10,597 --> 00:19:12,254
I've lost my job,
my livelihood.

404
00:19:12,289 --> 00:19:13,600
My name's been dragged
through the mud.

405
00:19:13,635 --> 00:19:15,119
The police knew
I hadn't done it,

406
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:16,431
but they went through
with this whole charade.

407
00:19:16,465 --> 00:19:17,984
Do you mean to take actionagainst them?

408
00:19:18,018 --> 00:19:19,710
I've spoken to my solicitor,
Mr. Vholes,

409
00:19:19,744 --> 00:19:21,919
and he's advised me that
I'm reserving my position.

410
00:19:21,953 --> 00:19:23,886
And what makes me sick

411
00:19:23,921 --> 00:19:25,336
is that while they had me
locked up in prison,

412
00:19:25,371 --> 00:19:27,476
the real Towpath Killer
has been free to strike again,

413
00:19:27,511 --> 00:19:30,341
and that's unforgivable.

414
00:19:30,376 --> 00:19:33,137
I just hope they catch him
this time. Thank you.

415
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,449
REPORTERS:Mr. Sturgis...

416
00:19:34,483 --> 00:19:37,383
[reporters shouting questions
indistinctly]

417
00:19:37,417 --> 00:19:40,213
He's not wrong.But you were.

418
00:19:40,248 --> 00:19:42,146
The boyfriend
of the first victim?

419
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:44,493
He always seemed
too obvious to me.

420
00:19:44,528 --> 00:19:46,944
Mm, and he hadan alibi.

421
00:19:46,978 --> 00:19:48,428
So I've been told.
Your freak accidents,

422
00:19:48,463 --> 00:19:49,636
it's a no go,
I'm afraid.

423
00:19:49,671 --> 00:19:51,500
People have accidents,
people die.

424
00:19:51,535 --> 00:19:52,881
What do you
want me to say?

425
00:19:52,915 --> 00:19:54,572
I don't know,that I'm not going mad.

426
00:19:54,607 --> 00:19:55,711
That there's somethingto my story.

427
00:19:55,746 --> 00:19:57,196
That youhaven't given up.

428
00:19:57,230 --> 00:20:00,302
Have you? Given up?

429
00:20:00,337 --> 00:20:02,270
I don't think
you're going mad.

430
00:20:02,304 --> 00:20:03,374
Well, that's a relief.

431
00:20:03,409 --> 00:20:05,963
Because I think I've found more.

432
00:20:05,997 --> 00:20:08,552
So I started to wonderif it was something

433
00:20:08,586 --> 00:20:09,967
just happening here in Oxford,

434
00:20:10,001 --> 00:20:11,969
or if there was something
further afield.

435
00:20:12,003 --> 00:20:13,246
And?

436
00:20:13,281 --> 00:20:16,836
And I turned up nearly
a dozen fatal accidents

437
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:19,666
in Dover and Uttoxeter
in the past year.

438
00:20:19,701 --> 00:20:22,117
Off your patch, I thought it
might be worth a look.

439
00:20:22,151 --> 00:20:26,984
This is Oxford, though.
I was at the inquest.

440
00:20:27,018 --> 00:20:28,606
A Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

441
00:20:28,641 --> 00:20:31,333
They'd only had the balcony
painted a week or two before.

442
00:20:31,368 --> 00:20:35,682
MORSE:
Did anybody see him fall?The wife.

443
00:20:35,717 --> 00:20:37,857
She was crossing to
the car, just below,

444
00:20:37,891 --> 00:20:39,272
he came out
onto the balcony

445
00:20:39,307 --> 00:20:41,343
to wave her off.
It gave way.

446
00:20:41,378 --> 00:20:44,967
Insurance found the bolts
had rusted through.

447
00:20:45,002 --> 00:20:47,211
They had no reason to thinkit wasn'tan accident?

448
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,282
Well, I can't imagine
they'd have paid out otherwise.

449
00:20:49,317 --> 00:20:51,077
Oh, why?Did she get much?

450
00:20:51,111 --> 00:20:52,837
He left her
looked after,

451
00:20:52,872 --> 00:20:54,977
but it'd be a different story
if it had been herwho fell.

452
00:20:55,012 --> 00:20:56,289
How's that?

453
00:20:56,324 --> 00:20:58,015
Their son had
got into debt,

454
00:20:58,049 --> 00:21:01,190
so she sold her life policy
without telling her husband.

455
00:21:01,225 --> 00:21:04,884
Right. And if  she'dgone off the balcony,

456
00:21:04,918 --> 00:21:06,886
then Mr. Joneswouldn't have earned a thing.

457
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,060
Not a sous.

458
00:21:09,095 --> 00:21:11,270
Right.

459
00:21:23,558 --> 00:21:26,388
Miss Tate?

460
00:21:26,423 --> 00:21:29,771
I wondered if, uh, I might
talk to you for a moment?

461
00:21:32,946 --> 00:21:35,363
[latch opening]

462
00:21:37,123 --> 00:21:38,262
I went to
the Working Men's Club,

463
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:39,470
they said you were
no longer there.

464
00:21:39,505 --> 00:21:43,163
I couldn't.
Not after everything.

465
00:21:43,198 --> 00:21:44,717
You were very brave.

466
00:21:44,751 --> 00:21:47,720
No. I'm bad luck.

467
00:21:47,754 --> 00:21:49,204
No, I'm sure
that's not the case.

468
00:21:50,619 --> 00:21:52,932
I wondered if I mighthave a word with you.

469
00:21:53,933 --> 00:21:55,210
Yeah.

470
00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:07,395
I just wantedto ask you

471
00:22:07,429 --> 00:22:09,224
about what happened
with Molly Andrews

472
00:22:09,258 --> 00:22:10,743
on the towpath at New Year.

473
00:22:10,777 --> 00:22:12,572
You didn't see anything...No.

474
00:22:12,607 --> 00:22:15,161
...with Tony?

475
00:22:15,195 --> 00:22:17,853
No. I said.

476
00:22:17,888 --> 00:22:19,683
I just want to put
all that behind me.

477
00:22:19,717 --> 00:22:21,512
What about the second girl?

478
00:22:21,547 --> 00:22:24,412
Bridget Mulcahy.
Did you see anything?

479
00:22:24,446 --> 00:22:26,621
Anything at all?I just...

480
00:22:26,655 --> 00:22:30,452
just want to be left alone.Please.

481
00:22:34,076 --> 00:22:38,391
Another girl was killedon the towpath last night.

482
00:22:39,841 --> 00:22:41,221
Did you see something?

483
00:22:41,256 --> 00:22:44,017
There's nothing I can tell you.

484
00:22:44,052 --> 00:22:45,329
All right.

485
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,538
Okay. I'm sorry to have
troubled you.

486
00:22:49,713 --> 00:22:51,508
What's in there?

487
00:22:51,542 --> 00:22:52,543
Nothing.

488
00:22:54,165 --> 00:22:56,271
Nothing.
Please don't.

489
00:22:56,305 --> 00:22:57,997
Don't go in there,please.

490
00:22:58,031 --> 00:23:00,379
Please don't.It's all right. It's all right.

491
00:23:00,413 --> 00:23:02,001
[breathing heavily]

492
00:23:02,035 --> 00:23:05,004
What is it?Is that what you see?

493
00:23:08,421 --> 00:23:10,803
I thought if I could
get it out...

494
00:23:10,837 --> 00:23:14,565
out of my head,
it would stop.

495
00:23:16,187 --> 00:23:18,500
But it hasn't.

496
00:23:21,883 --> 00:23:24,299
And what's the tin foil for?

497
00:23:25,473 --> 00:23:27,336
To keep it trapped.

498
00:23:27,371 --> 00:23:29,684
"It"?

499
00:23:31,375 --> 00:23:32,963
Him.

500
00:23:34,792 --> 00:23:36,898
[shuddering]

501
00:23:41,385 --> 00:23:42,351
Who is he?

502
00:23:45,907 --> 00:23:47,460
He comes when I'm not looking.

503
00:23:47,495 --> 00:23:50,670
I can smell him first.

504
00:23:50,705 --> 00:23:55,226
Like a... burning smell.

505
00:23:55,261 --> 00:23:57,953
Then I'll catch him out of
the corner of my eye.

506
00:23:57,988 --> 00:24:00,853
But if you turn too quick,
he disappears.

507
00:24:00,887 --> 00:24:04,063
I know he's not there.

508
00:24:04,097 --> 00:24:05,754
He can't be.

509
00:24:05,789 --> 00:24:08,101
But he must be, mustn't he,
if I can see him?

510
00:24:08,136 --> 00:24:09,482
What, can you see him now?

511
00:24:09,517 --> 00:24:10,897
[whimpers]

512
00:24:12,727 --> 00:24:14,970
Miss Tate,there's nobody there.

513
00:24:15,005 --> 00:24:17,766
[loud roar]
[cries out]

514
00:24:17,801 --> 00:24:19,009
It's all right.
It's okay.

515
00:24:19,043 --> 00:24:20,389
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
There's nobody there.

516
00:24:20,424 --> 00:24:22,322
[whimpers]There's nobody there.

517
00:24:22,357 --> 00:24:24,739
[exhales sharply]There's no one there.

518
00:24:24,773 --> 00:24:26,257
[shudders]

519
00:24:26,292 --> 00:24:29,606
I'm really concerned
about your well-being.

520
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,400
I don't think you should
be here alone.

521
00:24:31,435 --> 00:24:32,747
Is there anybody
I could call?

522
00:24:32,781 --> 00:24:34,576
A family member or...

523
00:24:34,611 --> 00:24:36,613
No, no, no.

524
00:24:36,647 --> 00:24:39,236
No, there's nobody.

525
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:41,065
Please don't tell
anyone about this.

526
00:24:43,171 --> 00:24:46,036
I don't want doctors.

527
00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:47,416
They've put me away before,

528
00:24:47,451 --> 00:24:49,660
and I know what those places
are like.

529
00:24:51,973 --> 00:24:53,388
Please.

530
00:24:55,217 --> 00:24:58,151
[whistling bird call]

531
00:24:59,290 --> 00:25:00,568

01:23:41,430 --> 01:23:45,089
I've killed no one.My hands are innocent of blood.

1597
01:23:45,123 --> 01:23:47,436
Spotless.
Just like my conscience.

1598
01:23:47,470 --> 01:23:49,783
Buyingthe life insurance policies

1599
01:23:49,817 --> 01:23:51,405
wasmy little wheeze, certainly.

1600
01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:53,166
But it was fate
spun the wheel...

1601
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,410
with a little help from
my glamorous assistant.

1602
01:23:56,445 --> 01:23:58,930
We all have our entrancesand our exits, Morse.

1603
01:23:58,964 --> 01:24:01,243
Our parts to play.

1604
01:24:01,277 --> 01:24:03,521
Even you.

1605
01:24:05,592 --> 01:24:07,007
Why? What was my part?

1606
01:24:07,042 --> 01:24:10,252
You weremy useful idiot.

1607
01:24:10,286 --> 01:24:11,460
My pet policeman.

1608
01:24:11,494 --> 01:24:13,151
Enough. Enough.

1609
01:24:13,186 --> 01:24:15,360
Do you want to see her
alive again, or don't you?

1610
01:24:29,271 --> 01:24:31,307
I gave them a chance,all of them.

1611
01:24:31,342 --> 01:24:34,241
If the glazier had maintainedhis pulley?

1612
01:24:34,276 --> 01:24:36,623
If Aspen had taken better careof his ladder?

1613
01:24:36,657 --> 01:24:37,969
And Mrs. Bright?

1614
01:24:38,003 --> 01:24:39,867
As a matter of fact,I quite liked her.

1615
01:24:39,902 --> 01:24:41,352
MORSE:
You knew her?

1616
01:24:41,386 --> 01:24:42,456
LUDO:
Of course.

1617
01:24:42,491 --> 01:24:43,733
Had to be on the inside

1618
01:24:43,768 --> 01:24:45,183
to gain access
to their decorations.

1619
01:24:45,218 --> 01:24:46,874
Oh...

1620
01:24:46,909 --> 01:24:49,084
thank you.Rest.

1621
01:24:49,118 --> 01:24:52,225
It's 50-50, Morse.

1622
01:24:52,259 --> 01:24:53,709
Always.[bell ringing]

1623
01:24:53,743 --> 01:24:56,884
Oh-- they're closingthe cemetery.

1624
01:24:56,919 --> 01:25:01,234
And there we are,right on cue.

1625
01:25:12,624 --> 01:25:14,523
Violetta?

1626
01:25:14,557 --> 01:25:17,008
LUDO:
You really don't
have a clue, do you?

1627
01:25:17,042 --> 01:25:19,631
She's a fraud, Morse.

1628
01:25:19,666 --> 01:25:23,221
Every word she's ever
told you was a lie.

1629
01:25:23,256 --> 01:25:25,741
When I found her, she was 15,living barefoot

1630
01:25:25,775 --> 01:25:27,398
on the backstreetsof Naples.

1631
01:25:27,432 --> 01:25:30,504
I've given her
the world.

1632
01:25:30,539 --> 01:25:32,851
You don't even know
her real name.

1633
01:25:34,991 --> 01:25:36,027
Ah!

1634
01:25:36,061 --> 01:25:37,856
Put the gun down, Morse.

1635
01:25:37,891 --> 01:25:40,135
On the floor.Put it down.

1636
01:25:40,169 --> 01:25:41,515
You won't do it.

1637
01:25:41,550 --> 01:25:43,793
Once, perhaps,you would have been right.

1638
01:25:43,828 --> 01:25:46,762
You were meant to bemy creature, not hers.

1639
01:25:46,796 --> 01:25:50,145
And then you went and spoiled itall, didn't you, my darling?Ah!

1640
01:25:50,179 --> 01:25:54,252
Put the gun down!

1641
01:25:56,358 --> 01:25:57,876
Please.

1642
01:26:00,879 --> 01:26:03,399
All right.

1643
01:26:04,918 --> 01:26:07,023
All right.

1644
01:26:09,750 --> 01:26:12,753
[opera singer continues]

1645
01:26:17,102 --> 01:26:18,414
Just let her go.

1646
01:26:18,449 --> 01:26:19,933
Ah!

1647
01:26:23,005 --> 01:26:25,352
Come on. If we're going to get
the last boat.

1648
01:26:25,387 --> 01:26:27,251
LUDO:
I should have done for you
in England,

1649
01:26:27,285 --> 01:26:28,838
but she convinced me
that a dead policeman

1650
01:26:28,873 --> 01:26:30,046
wasn't in our best interests.

1651
01:26:30,081 --> 01:26:32,117
You said we were going
to let him go.

1652
01:26:32,152 --> 01:26:34,223
It was just a warning,
that was the promise.

1653
01:26:34,258 --> 01:26:35,224
That was the plan.

1654
01:26:45,303 --> 01:26:47,098
Plans change.

1655
01:26:47,132 --> 01:26:49,204
No!
[gasps]

1656
01:26:50,998 --> 01:26:52,517
[gunshot]

1657
01:26:56,452 --> 01:26:58,385
Violetta...

1658
01:27:01,526 --> 01:27:03,425
[opera singer continues]

1659
01:27:03,459 --> 01:27:05,565
I'm sorry...

1660
01:27:05,599 --> 01:27:07,774
I'm so sorry...

1661
01:27:07,808 --> 01:27:09,707
Shh...

1662
01:27:16,610 --> 01:27:18,992
Drop it.

1663
01:27:32,350 --> 01:27:34,559
[opera singer continues]

1664
01:27:53,578 --> 01:27:57,893
[opera singer continues]

1665
01:28:03,485 --> 01:28:07,523
I've done terrible things...

1666
01:28:07,558 --> 01:28:09,801
It doesn't matter.

1667
01:28:09,836 --> 01:28:11,527
Nothing matters.

1668
01:28:11,562 --> 01:28:16,014
It was true...

1669
01:28:16,049 --> 01:28:18,362
Us...

1670
01:28:18,396 --> 01:28:21,123
Always.

1671
01:28:25,127 --> 01:28:27,302
Ti amo...
