Inspector Morse

Charlie, where are you going?

- Where's he going? - I dunno. Where's he going, John?

Come on, Marilyn.

ls she all right?

- She's fine, aren't you, darling? - That was the most wonderful...

Wait till Friday.

It can't be as good as tonight.

It could never be as good as tonight.

- Had a good time, then? I'm thirsty.

Tonight was it for me. Tonight was it.

You're still traveling.

I saw the world as it really is.

I know now. I know everything.

Can we go to a caff? I'm desperate for a cup of tea.

Come on, Tim. Let's go.

Good morning. How are we?

- Thank you. Good morning, Joanna. - Morning, Dr Collier.

All right, Mum. Nearly there.

Hello, Gwen.

Morning.

How are you?

Mum.

Mum...

Mum, please. You said you wanted to come.

- Not if he's there! Excuse me.

You're a naughty girl, going off without your pills.

- I'm not going anywhere. - Now, now.

They're not doing much for her temper, Mrs Garrett.

Well, she was turning into a...

She's much more herself again now.

She certainly is.

Mum!

I'll have to tell Dr Collier about you.

Where's Marilyn? I want Marilyn.

She's staying over at Vicky's. You know, her friend - Vicky.

Why doesn't he go and stay with Vicky?

I don't want him.

I want her!

The reference to one lamp includes any combination of lamps.

Any combination of two or more.

Any combination of two or more lamps, whether the same or not...

Identical.

Whether identical or not.

Having the same function and emitting light of the same color...

If it comprises...

If it comprises devices,

the projection of the average light-emitting source...

Aggregate light-emitting.

Dad, I don't think you're ever going to remember all this.

Of course I am. If your sister would just turn her music down a bit...

Lyn, turn it down!

Lyn!

She is better, you know.

She remembers things again.

I think I preferred it when she didn't.

Still, that's a nice place. Very.

And now she's in there, I can come and see you more often.

You didn't have to chip in. We'd have found the money somehow.

- Hi. Are those for me? - Wayne!

It's no use giving you books till you learn to read.

Maybe when you grow up, you can drive one of those.

- Ace! How's Gwen?

Back to her old form. One look at me and...

Oh, God. You'd better have a beer.

I wish they'd never started her on these trial things.

People that age should be left alone, I think.

Marilyn back yet?

- I haven't seen her. - I bought her the new Life Of Wilfred Owen.

It's someone she's doing for A-levels.

She'll be back for dinner. She knows you're coming.

- Are you off home now, Marilyn? - Yes, Mrs Wilson.

I've homework to finish.

You girls. It's all work with you these days.

When I was your age, I used to have some fun.

I'm sorry. I really am.

It's not like Marilyn to be so rude.

Never mind, Joyce. Don't forget to give her that book, will you?

Come on, Wayne.

Move your bike, or I'll run over it.

- See you. - Bye.

Morse.

Hello, Joyce. This is a bit...

No.

Joyce...no.

Ah, Desmond.

Hi.

Have the rats tried that yet?

Come and see.

Good God!

Aggression down to zero.

The more you put in, the more they cuddle up.

Well, well. You'll get the Nobel prize.

For peace, if not for chemistry.

But you're no use to me tonight.

I'm dining at All Souls. I'll need all the aggression I can muster.

You certainly will if Matthew Hallett's there.

Science should be a collaborative process, Desmond, not a competition.

In theory, perhaps.

But anti-aging research is a rat race.

Come on, James.

Hallett's a jealous sod!

And he hates my guts.

And as Oxford Pharmaceutical Products hang on his every word,

I'd really rather he knew as little about this as possible until the presentation on Tuesday.

All right?

Come on, I was up till dawn this morning, keeping ahead of the field.

- About that... - I'll lock up.

- Promise. - But this is the third time, Desmond.

I mean, we're bloody lucky no addict tried the door.

What time did you really leave here?

About midnight.

And I've said I'm sorry to everyone 999 times.

And I'm sorry to you.

Why don't you go and get drunk at All Souls?

I'll struggle on with my desperately dangerous drugs.

Well, the Chambertin is pretty remarkable.

Then get it while it's hot.

All right.

- Good night. - Good night.

Come in.

Sir.

Ah, yes, Lewis.

Sit down.

How are you getting on with your homework?

All right, sir.

OSPRE.

Yes, sir.

The Objective Structured Performance-Related Examination

for promotion from sergeant to inspector.

- I doubt if I could pass. - No, sir.

You'd better get the traffic regs off by heart, Lewis.

I've known many a good man come unstuck on those.

Yes, sir.

Good.

Now, the reason I wanted to see you.

You've been with Morse a long time now, and...

The best of officers, and I do mean the best,

they have their own ways, and it's very easy to fall into...

well, to see things from only one perspective.

Now, you know and I know that Chief Inspector Holroyd

- is rather different from Morse. - Yes, sir.

Before he retires, I've asked him to take a special interest in career development,

which means you.

You listen to him, Lewis.

He works by the book, but it's the book that will get you through Part One of that,

and on down to Devizes for Part Two.

We all want you to do well.

Thank you, sir.

What about Chief Inspector Morse, sir? Who's going to look after him?

He'll be looking after himself for the next few days. He's on leave.

Some friends of his,

their daughter took an overdose.

Suicide.

He's trying to help the family come to terms with it.

Sugar?

I can't understand why.

If only I understood why.

Even if it was my fault.

Teenagers get these depressions.

Things at that age, they...

they get them all out of proportion.

She wasn't depressed.

I'd have known. I'd have noticed.

She was always so bright.

That's what I can't understand.

We got on so well together.

She told me everything.

I didn't criticize.

We never said...

We're not like some, going on and on at their kids.

We didn't push her.

We made a point of not...

never.

You were always very loving parents. I know that.

Then why?

How am I going to tell Mum?

I don't know how I'm going to tell Mum.

You've got the makings of inspector, Lewis. I don't deny that.

- Thank you, sir. - But I have the impression your routine's rusty.

Proper procedure is what police work is all about.

Yes, sir. We're here, sir.

So you handle this your way, and I'll just watch.

If Morse has set your feet on the wrong path, you don't mind a few hints from an old hand, do you?

Well, off you go, lad.

I'll belt him when I see him, you see if I don't!

I'll give him a thrashing he'll never forget! I'm supposed to be bloody working!

- Charley! - Staying out all day and night and not telling us.

Not telling his mother!

He's with some tart, you can bet on that. Dirty little bugger!

Constable Williams says your son told you Saturday evening

that he was just going out for a drink with some mates.

Just because he's started up at Cowley, he thinks he can do as he bloody well likes!

Charley! Calm down.

He went out at about nine o’clock,

so he's been missing now for... almost 40 hours, right?

- And he hasn't got his pills with him. That’s just it.

He's epileptic, you see. He could have fallen down and had a fit anywhere.

Phenytoin, they're called.

He needs to take two phenytoin every day. He knows that.

He's never gone off without them before?
