(SULTRY TANGO MUSIC)

COMPERE: And now, returning to competition after some years away,

all the way from the Stuart-Hargreaves Dance Studio in

couple number seven: Frederick and Winifred Thursday.

(APPLAUSE)

(TANGO MUSIC CONTINUES)

Here's looking at you.

The motion before this house is:

"This house believes in an end to immigration

and the repatriation of all settled immigrants to their ancestral lands."

This motion is not about the colour of ones skin.

It is about national resources stretched to breaking point

by an influx of immigrants to this green and pleasant land.

It is well to be careful who we designate an immigrant.

The black man has been here a lot longer than the Angle,

the Saxon, the Jute...

- ...the Norman, the Huguenot. - (LAUGHTER)

long before many of your forefathers "this green and pleasant land",

it was the Nubian who stood watch on Hadrian's Wall.

The motion before this esteemed house calls for

all settled immigrants to return to their ancestral lands.

So, that being the case, I have to say, "After you."

(RIPPLES OF LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

The regiment!

ALL: The regiment!

WOMAN: That's her!

Nazi lover!

Oh!

- (CHEERING) - White enough now, eh?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! She's with me. She's with me.

- MAN: A disgrace! - That's what you get!

You're mad. Do you want to get What are you... What are you doing?

- What am I going to do with you? - What are you going to do with me?

Regional quarters.

Semi-finals next, Fred.

Don't put them there.

I won't put 'em there. When's that?

September.

And we'll need to look to it if we want to make the finals.

- Well, it's finding time. - You'll have the time, won't you?

You've done your bit, Fred, and

Ah, Thursday.

As you were. As you were.

I want three volunteers to escort a

civilian party up to High Wood at 1100.

They're from a fashion magazine, I believe.

I'll do it, sir.

Very well. Pick two other men from

Carry on, Corporal Thursday.

- Anything? - All quiet on the Western.

The word is out for Cromwell Ames from here to Brum and all points else.

Not a peep. Not a whisper.

- What about Eddie Nero? - lying low.

If there is a term for it, it's "gone underground"

Lull before the storm, maybe?

Hey, what happened to you this morning?

That's the third day in a row a stranger's brought me in.

Oh, something came up.

- Everything all right now, is it? - Oh, yeah, fine.

- Lunch. - I can't today.

I've got statements to take from

this fracas outside the debating society.

Oh, right.

Well, fair enough.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTED ORDERS)

- One! Two! Three! - Corporal Thursday!

What is that long-haired poof doing on my parade ground?

- He's got a pass, sir. - What bloody pass?

Oh, my eye! Would you look at that?

At about three o'clock in the afternoon the right horn of the Zulu Impi

debouched from a dry stream-bed west of Colonel Stewart's position

and made a sustained attack upon the laager lasting the best part of an hour,

before being repulsed by lieutenant Burnaby's bayonet charge.

Your attention, gentlemen, if you would.

This is for your benefit.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER)

I've been given to understand that some sort

of private area would be desirable

to serve as a makeshift dressing room.

Just somewhere for the girls to get changed and do her own make ups..

H3, one of the buildings we use for exercises, should suffice.

It's fairly spartan, but the best we can do, I'm afraid.

Well, I imagine you're keen to get on with your picture taking.

Cool.

Now, come on, girls, not here. Get back in.

(PSYCHEDELIC ROCK MUSIC)

- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) - I Yes, Jean. lovely.

Great. All right. Give me something more in the arm.

- (SHUTTER CONTINUES CLICKING) - Yes, I like that.

(MUSIC CONTINUES ON RADIO)

A canny good skive is this call, stood watching tarts slip in and out their clobber.

So, gan on, which one do you fancy

I've got my eye on that one on the tank.

- Jean, her name is. - How do you know that?

She does that perfume ad, what is it?

All right. What are you horrible lot You never seen a woman before?

- Not like that, Colour. - Eyes front.

- I know what your lot are like. - And what are "my lot" like, Colour?

Just keep your dirty, heathen mind above the equator, or you'll have my sticky end.

Beautiful. All right, Jean. That's great love.

- Next change, please. Give her a hand. - Yeah.

Howay.

Do you always work with that photographer?

Thankfully, not always.

It must be interesting seeing the world and getting paid for it.

It's no different to you.

We're off to Germany in a couple of days.

It's the first time we've been out the country.

Well, it's all shooting, right?

You are sweet, soldier boy.

No, I know what you want, but I'm spoken for.

So, Mr Hutchens,

you were part of this reception committee

that assaulted lady Bayswater last night.

Her sort deserve all they get.

- Her sort? - She's a Fascist.

Isn't that just everybody who disagrees with you?

Charity Mudford was interned in Holloway

during the war under defense regulation 18B.

You've heard of her old man, presumably?

The late Viscount? The Lord Bayswater?

The leading light in the British Union of Fascists.

For Christ's sake, Hitler danced at their wedding!

I think she qualifies.

Yes. Super.

OK. One more.

Think of Warren Beatty. Fabulous.

Right, that's us finished, then.

Very good, sir. Got everything you need?

Yes, thanks. Just pack up and be on our way

Collier.

FARRIDGE: Hold on, Jean. You're wonderful.

All right, come on, Suki. Make yourself useful.

(POP MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO IN BACKGROUND)

Move, stupid, you're in the sun.

- Is that better? - I Uh-huh.

- Is that better? - (BOTH LAUGH)

I got lunch.

(CHUCKLES)

- What have you been doing? - I told you, I got lunch.

- What else? - like what?

Like work?

Some story the agency want me to cover?

- Some coiffurier. - I thought you didn't do fashion?

I don't.

(GIGGLES)

(TURNS MUSIC OFF)

(SHE GIGGLES)

All right, girls. Ready?

Just a minute.

Sorry, Corp, call of nature.

Now what?

Everything all right?

Yes, I'm sorry, we're just waiting for Jean.

She forgot something. I said I'd pick her up here on the way out.

Maybe she misunderstand and went back to the village.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTS)

Jean. Jean!

LIEUTENANT CARMICHAEL: Got something!

Here!

Miss Ward?

Jean?

The body of a young woman has been discovered on Ministry of Defense land.

Details are thin, but she appears to have been a civilian.

Right, sir. Whereabouts is this?

The army barracks up at High Wood.

- Your son's there, isn't he? - Yes Sir.

In light of which, I think,

given the potential delicacy of the situation

...it would be best to confine your operational involvement

to a more managerial role, here at the station.

Of course, sir.

Morse knows him, doesn't he, your son?

But he's not family. I see no reason to keep him from the investigation.

It'll be all right, I'm sure.

This is Murder Town, Chief Superintendent.

It's used by the regiment for exercises.

House-to-house fighting, sniping, that kind of thing.

The police, Colonel.

Colonel Champion CO.

My 2-IC Major Coward.

Chief Superintendent Bright, Thames Valley,

Detectives Sergeant Strange and Morse,

and Detective Constable Fancy.

Now obviously, this is your show but please

bear in mind, this is an operational barracks

for the next 48 hours, at least.

48 hours?

We're readying for deployment. In two days, we leave for Germany

and the regiment, as many of us

have known and loved it, will cease to exist.

Now, there are live firing areas and final exercises still in progress,

so your men should not wander unattended.

- Understood. - Excellent. Shall we?

Now, the girl's body was found in H5, the building just down here.

- Doctor? - Gentlemen.

Do we have a name for her?

Jean Ward, according to the photographer.

Died within the last four hours.

So far as I can tell, we have a single stab wound through the back,

most likely penetrated the heart.

No sign she attempted to defend herself.

Taken unawares, then?

What had she lost? Did she say?

A purse. I found it in the woods,

whereupon I split the search party to cover more ground,

with orders to rendezvous here at 1630.

Well, we'll need to speak to all of them.

Of course. We've set aside one of the classrooms in the study block.

- Who found the body? - Oh, that was Lance Corporal Thursday.

What's all this about, Major Coward?

Police.

What are they doing on the base?

Policing.

What happened to you last night?

Never came home.

This Frenchy piece, is it?

- What's her line, then? - Photojournalist.

- Figures. - How's that?

Well, let's face it, with you, it was never

gonna be Doreen from the corner shop, was it?

- Bit of all right, is she? - Yeah, I suppose. She's just a girl.

Just a girl? You want to leave some for the rest of us.

Claudine, that blondey one.

The way you've been filling your dance card,

you'd think rationing was coming in.

She's good company.

So how are we gonna run this without the old man?

You are senior. Who would you like to see first?

What's that?

It looks to be a cap badge.

One of the squaddies, then, sir.

After we split up, I came down to the wash house.

I thought maybe she might have had to use the ladies.

I called for her, but there was nobody there,

so I er... made my way back to Murder Town.

I worked my way back from the tank

Mm-hm. Thought we could've missed her in the woods.

They're big enough, like.

She could've gone back to our original rendezvous.

- But I didn't see anything. - Right.

I dunno what else I can tell you. I should've been watching her.

You haven't got eyes in your arse.

All right, that'll be it for now. Do you wanna whistle up an escort?

Maybe YOU could.

Two minutes.

Right, so if there's anything you've left out, now would be the time.

She was in my care.

- If I'd done my job... - Sam, things happen.

The only person responsible for this is whoever did it.

You've been around Dad too long. It's rubbing off.

All right.

- How is he? - Oh, how do you think?

Any messages for him?

Just tell him I'm all right, if that's allowed.

And Joanie, if you see her.

There's not much more we can do with the light that's left.

We'll have a full team out first thing, fingertip search.

Sergeant Major Davies, I need this area secured until 0430.

Nobody in or out without my authorization.

Very good, sir.

- And had you photographed her before? - A few times over the years.

Actually, I got her started.

We did a campaign for the Egg Marketing Board.

She was the Soft-Boiled Girl.

Your relationship was purely professional, though?

We saw each other at parties, gallery openings, things like that.

What DS Morse is asking is, were you knocking her off?

No. No.

I mean... not lately.

We had a brief number, I but strictly casual.

What was she like, in her personality?

Nice. Crazy.

Mixed-up, I suppose.

- About what? - Who knows?

What about boyfriends?

- She had a few, but nobody serious. - Any connection to Oxford?

Her stepmother has a place out this way, I believe.

Stepmother?

It's not something she liked to talk about.

I mean, Jean Ward was just her working name.

She was the Right Honourable Moira Creighton-Ward.

The daughter of Lord Bayswater and his first wife.

Charity Mudford is her stepmother.

(MILITARY-STYLE DRUMMING)

Drummer Hawkins, the boy that saved the colours at Mboto Gorge.

That's his actual drum.

Victoria Cross, posthumous.

Oh, his parents' pride, I'm sure.

Well, the regiment's, certainly.

You're with the police?

Yes. Detective Sergeant Morse, Thames Valley.

Doctor Laidlaw, on secondment from Lonsdale.

I lecture on military history. I'm also writing a history of the regiment.

- Right. - Is there any news...?

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say,

but I'm sure you'll hear about soon enough.

(BUGLE PLAYS)

Her stepmother's lady Bayswater.

Charity Mudford?

I saw her at the debating society yesterday.

What do you make to her?

Well, she's got guts, I'll give her

When you know everyone in the room would have liked you hanged,

it takes a certain amount of sangfroid to smile back.

Or just a brass neck. It's a wonder she can show her face at all.

Well, she seems pretty unrepentant. Defiant, even.

Did Hitler really dance at their wedding, do you think?

Unlikely.

They did stop off at Berchtesgaden for a few days

on the way back from their honeymoon.

- Why did she come back to England? - Who knows.

Maybe we all come home in the end.

Did you see Sam?

He's going to be fine.

He's in the clear.

Comes to the army, nobody's ever in the clear, only the dead.

He's got you now, Johnny.

Says you, Mungo. Says you.

But yon's a canny bugger, he always

See, Mungo, I do have a natural advantage.

- What might that be, Colonel? - Billiards is a game for gentlemen.

(LAUGHS)

Ooh, that's fighting talk, make no mistake.

(CHUCKLES)

What did I tell you?

Never trust a bloody Englishman.

Not too late tonight, Mungo, eh?

Heavy day tomorrow.

What with this girl on top of all.

Right you are, Johnny.

Night, Mac.

- Johnny. - (DOOR OPENS)

- You'll take a dram for the road? - (DOOR CLOSES)

I'm done, Mac.

Oh, you're poor company, Mungo. Very poor.

You never used to be such a dull companion.

Well, go, if you're going.

Prisoner and escort? Is that it?

Go to your bed, man.

You've not the tits for a wet nurse.

I'm for a turn around the square.

(DOOR OPENS)

Get some air.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(KEY TURNS IN LOCK)

Did you see him?

No.

No, it has to be played by the book.

How do you mean?

Mr Bright wants me to take a back seat, seeing as it's family,

but Morse saw him, said he's doing all right.

I should let Joan know.

There's no point worrying her without

(KEYS CLATTERING)

It won't be anything to do with Sam.

(BELL TOLLS)

Single stab wound from behind, through the intercostal region

between the fourth and fifth rib.

Pierced the posterior heart.

Penetrated to a depth of six-and-a-quarter inches,

but there's no impression of a guard on the skin about the wound,

so it's unlikely it was driven all

A bayonet?

That's certainly possible.

But there's nothing else, no funny business or...?

There doesn't appear to be a sexual element, no,

but these bottles of Dexedrine and Seconal were in her handbag.

Non-lethal quantities of both in her bloodstream.

De rigueur in the modeling business, I believe.

Amphetamines for weight loss.

- And the barbiturates? - Take the edge off the day.

Cumulative effect is to leave one numbed.

To what?

Life.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTED ORDERS)

Where's your other beret, Private Oswald?

I dunno, sir.

- When did you see it last? - I can't remember, sir.

Up at High Wood, I think.

We're searching the area this morning. If it's up there, we'll find it.

Lost your cap badge, Corporal?

Yes, sir. A couple of days ago.

I was gonna put it in a chitty to. the QM but,

with the deployment, it slipped my mind.

(BIRDSONG)

LADY BAYSWATER: To what do I owe the pleasure?

I'm afraid I have some very bad news.

It concerns your stepdaughter Moira Creighton-Ward.

Ah. I see.

Drugs, is it?

She does have a problem.

No, madam.

Suicide, then?

- Why would you think that? - Well, she'd attempted it before.

- It's how her mother went. - No madam.

She was murdered.

How?

She was stabbed.

(SIGHS)

When did you last see her?

Oh, er... not for some years.

Things had never been very good

She kept up a pretense of civility for her father's sake

but, after Paddy died, I didn't really hear from her.

What was she like?

Oh...

Quite mad, like her mother.

She ran up huge debts, Bixby's club, Berkeley Square,

expected her father to cover them, which he did.

And what about men? Did she have a boyfriend?

Oh, yes. (CHUCKLES) Yes, she'd been engaged,

in the manner of the public convenience at Victoria Station.

Often and for short periods.

It was all attention-seeking.

She'd pick up with some wholly unsuitable

prospect for a couple of months

and then drop him.

Unsuitable in what way?

Non-U types,

Jews, blacks, Americans.

Anything to annoy her father.

And you, presumably?

I could hardly care less what she did.

But I knew, if she carried on in this way,

she'd come to a bad end.

Right. General search, moving line abreast through the woods.

You're to be on the lookout in particular for an army beret like this,

either with or without a cap badge.

Right? About your business.

Yes, sir.

- Keep an eye. - Of course.

Thanks.

(CHANTING) Integration for the nation! Integration for the nation!

Integration for the nation!

Integration for the nation!

Integration...

MAN: All clear!

Keep looking!

- Morning. - Matey, how'd the postmortem go?

Single stab wound. Bayonet, possibly.

There's a quantity of uppers and downers in her system,

par for the course in the circles in which she moved

according to Dr DeBryn. You?

There's a Private Oswald says he lost his beret up here yesterday.

Right. So, if we find it and it doesn't have a cap badge...

Sam Thursday's lost a cap badge too.

SERGEANT MAJOR DAVIES:

You in the bloody field! Yes, you! Stand still! Don't move!

- What is it? What's wrong? - I He's in a minefield..

- He's what? - Fancy, stay still!

What?

Stay completely still! A soldier will come and fetch you!

Integration for the nation! Integration for the nation!

You can't call me a racialist, not by any stretch of the imagination.

I went to see Sammy Davis Jr in Golden Boy

at The Palladium only three months back,

so I think that speaks volumes.

Then why not take the sign down?

- If it were up to me, I would. - It's your salon, Mrs Radowicz.

It's not as if I have anything against them personally. I don't.

I've always gone out of my way I to treat them like equals.

It's my customers, they won't have

What is it they don't like?

Towels, for one.

Towels?

They don't like using the same towels.

I've told them all the towels are sent away for a boil wash,

but it cuts very little ice.

Then there's the combs.

I can't send them away for a boil wash.

Someone said I should buy a sterilizer, but

this is a hair salon, not an operating theater.

Well, at least your customers wouldn't have to worry about curlers.

No. Every cloud...

(DETECTOR CRACKLES)

It's all right, you're perfectly safe. Nothing to worry about.

- Whatever you say. - Just follow on behind Private Jones.

Watch where he puts his feet, see you do the same.

All right. All right. Thank you.

What do you think you're doing, I going out into the field?

Time and a place. Give the lad a break

- I thought I saw something. - What do you mean you saw something?

Out in the field. (PANTING)

That's what I went in there for.

There's a name inside.

MORSE: It's blood.

So tell us when you last remember having your beret.

Can't say, sir. Yesterday afternoon,

Right. You were late for the transport back to the front gate.

I er... got taken short and went into the woods to relieve myself.

- And did you have your beret then? - I dunno, sir, it was hot.

We'd been moving stuff for the photographer. Rails of clothes.

I must have stuck it in my pocket for a second.

Maybe it came out of my pocket on the way back to the vehicle.

With everything that went on, I didn't miss it till later.

- You didn't see Miss Ward in the woods? - No sir.

- What about anybody else? - No sir.

There was nobody out there that

You were part of the search party that went to look for her.

- Yes, sir. Me and Corporal Thursday... - Mm-hm.

...Geordie, Sergeant Major Davies and Mr Carmichael.

- You didn't see her then? - No sir.

It was Corporal Thursday that found her.

Eventually.

Maybe she had got lost, as everyone thought.

- Maybe you found her first. - I didn't.

Are you sure you didn't try it on with her?

No... sir.

She wasn't interested maybe, is that it? Did she scream?

Call out? Everyone out looking for her,

it wouldn't take long before they found you.

- You had to shut her up. - No.

It wasn't like that.

Did she give you the glad eye? lead you up the garden path,

then change her mind?

- That how it was? - No.

- It was just a kiss. - "Just a kiss".

- Where was this? - In the woods, when I went for a Jimmy.

She said she was trying to find Murder Town and had lost her way.

We had a couple of words and I said I'd see her back once I'd done my business.

She gave me a peck and then something spooked her.

What was it? What spooked her?

I dunno. There was a noise, a twig

But you couldn't see anybody else there.

No. But she was keen to make the bus.

I pointed her in the right direction,

she set off, I had a pee and I made my way back.

I swear, I never touched her.

As you were, Corporal.

I didn't do it, Corp. You've gotta tell 'em! Corp, I didn't do it!

It's a bad business, Johnny.

It's bad for morale on the eve of deployment.

Well, maybe that's a blessing, Jack, Germany.

Men'll have more important things to worry about.

More important than the honour of the regiment?

This time tomorrow, there won't be a regiment. Mungo's right.

We'll be out of here and on our way.

A good soldier never looks back, Jack, you know that.

And that poor, wee laddie with the police, Private Oswald...

No man left behind, Johnny.

BRIGHT: So it's his beret, no question,

without a cap badge and bloodied,

as if it had been used to wipe the blade clean.

THURSDAY: No sign of the weapon as yet.

He'd have to be an idiot to tie himself to the crime like that.

- Or he panicked. - But say he's telling the truth.

Say he lost his beret in the woods and somebody else picked it up.

All rather fortuitous, wouldn't you say?

Perhaps, but it's not impossible, sir.

Look, I know it's no mystery, but sometimes the simplest answer is the

What have you got against it being him?

Nothing, I'm just trying to keep an open mind.

- It is the job, isn't it? - You don't think Oswald did it?

- Something spooked her. - If you're taking Oswald's word for it.

Course he's gonna say that.

- But what if somebody else WAS there? - Who?

I don't know, but someone that she knew,

or knew her, or recognised her, at least?

- From where? - Pin-up, wasn't she?

- (PHONE RINGS) - A model.

Maybe someone saw her in the papers.

She'd have been pretty hard to miss.

Outside of the world, she was well-known

in society always in the gossip columns.

If anyone on that base knew her, it's more

likely to have been someone of her own class.

An officer, then?

That was the base. There's been a development.

This was found where?

Stuffed down a drain in the wash house,

shortly after 1400 by a cleaning party.

Which consisted of whom?

Lance Corporal Thursday and Private Collier.

Erm... right, and who has access to the wash house generally?

Well, it's designated for the use of other ranks,

but anyone on the base could stop off there.

And could anyone have been there during this photographic shoot?

Unlikely. Most of the base are down here at HQ preparing for deployment.

Where is it, in relation to Murder Town?

A10, 15-minute walk, seven-minute run.

You have to pass it on the way back from High Wood to barracks.

Right. Well, we'll take a run out there later,

but first, I'd like to speak to this cleaning party.

(CHANTING) Integration for the nation! Integration for the nation!

Integration for the nation! Integration for the nation!

Integration for the nation!

Integration for the nation!

Stand up.

As you were.

Private Collier, I understand it was you who found the bayonet.

Yes, Colonel. The water wouldn't drain away, so Sam and me...

Lance Corporal Thursday, Colonel, we got the grate up.

I had a rummage, like, and there it was.

Any questions?

Did either of you come by the wash house the afternoon Miss Ward went

Private Oswald did, sir, aye. Only to see if the girl had gone there, mind.

Me and Ossie split up. Thursday was fetching lieutenant Carmichael.

I stopped by the wash house too, I on my way to raise the alarm, just

Did you see anybody?

No. I gave the place a quick shufti' and then made my way back to base.

- Any of them could have put it there. - Including Private Oswald.

He's admitted snogging her in the woods.

Maybe that's as much as he can admit to himself.

It's Oswald's beret we found covered in blood.

If it turns out

- this bayonet's got his dabs on it... - If.

Short of a signed confession, what more do you want?

Can't win 'em all, matey

look, there's only two people missing cap badges

and one of them's Sam Thursday.

- There's no way it was him. - You didn't think he was a bit cagey?

Integration for the nation! Integration for the nation!

Integration for the nation!

The sign on this door says, "No coloureds".

This is the language of segregation.

Of Apartheid.

It is bigotry. Now the world knows what happens

when one group of human beings decide another group is something less.

But make no mistake, my brothers and sisters.

the road that starts with exclusion

...ends at the crematoria.

That's right.

I've asked if anybody from the has been out to the wash house.

They're not putting their hands up

Right.

Strange is just finishing up with the CO.

What's all that?

It's everything I could find on Moira Creighton-Ward from the press

Seems a lot of palaver to go I through, to get rid of it.'

If it is the murder weapon, then. why not just bury it in the woods?

It'd be the devil's own job to find it out there, even with a mine detector.

The place must be alive with shrapnel and spent rounds.

Hm?

I said it seems a daft place to hide a murder weapon, the wash house.

Unless whoever put it there wanted it to be found.

- That's interesting. - What?

lady Bayswater said her stepdaughter was

engaged often and for short periods.

Look, announcements...

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

- Detective Sergeant Morse, isn't it? - That's right.

Dr Laidlaw, this is Detective Sergeant Strange.

Good afternoon.

- Toy soldiers, Doctor? - War gaming.

It's instructive for officers to replay famous battles.

I'm sure. What's today?

Battle of Cannae, Second Punic War.

Are you familiar?

HE will be, I expect.

Just a treat. The regiment moving

All feels rather... end of term.

We wanted to talk to you about the girl that was killed here.

Oh. I understood you arrested I one of the privates for it.

He's helping us with our inquiries.

I'm not sure what I can tell you, I didn't see her.

It was Jean something, wasn't it? Creighton-Ward.

I believe you were engaged to be

Ten years ago.

Wait a minute, you're...

You're saying the girl up at High Wood, that was... that was Moira?

Good God!

When did you see her last?

Not since she quit her degree.

You never wondered what happened to her?

It was one mad term. We were very young.

In any case, it would never have I worked out.

Why? Why not?.

I suppose because I was always a rather dull academic and Moira

was... wild.

Where were you between four and six yesterday afternoon?

I was here, trying to complete I my regimental history,

in order to present it to the CO at the flag-lowering ceremony tomorrow.

Anyone vouch for your whereabouts?

I saw Colonel McDuff in the officers' mess at around five

look, really, I am very happily married with two children of my own.

So, you see, if I'd married Moira, I would never have met my wife.

You can't hold on to people.

- All done? - For now.

Wanna get this bayonet back so Forensics can take a look at it.

Having a word with Private Oswald, see what he's got to say about it.

I'll take one last look around here,

see if Colonel McDuff can confirm Laidlaw's alibi.

I'll see you back at the station.

Morse?

I thought you had your man?

No, he's not been charged yet.

So, what's this, you're still looking for proof?

Something like that. You?

What was it you didn't tell me, Sam?

She kissed me when I walked her back to Murder Town.

Just a kiss, or... something else?

Just a kiss, but it was my fault.

I should have been watching her, I and now Ossie's in the frame. I

He didn't do it, Morse.

All right.

Whatever happened, I'll get to the bottom of it. I promise you.

Well, first things first.

They wanna make an example.

Everyone there's gonna be charged.

No one meant for it to get out of I hand. Nobody ever does.

Then, the next thing is to get you out of here.

Well, aren't you gonna charge me? I was there.

No, you weren't. And you haven't been here, neither.

Come on.

(DOOR OPENS)

All right?

I couldn't see you before.

I wanted to, but it had to be by the book, being family.

Your mum's been worried half out of mind.

- They arrested Ossie Oswald. - I know.

He didn't do it, Dad.

Well, it was him or you, Sam, I and I know it wasn't you.

Ossie's a good bloke.

How many good blokes I've nicked?

Good or bad don't come into it.

- We just follow the evidence. - He's in my section. I know him.

If you won't do anything about it, I will.

No. You're gonna keep your head down and nose clean

and you're gonna ship over to Germany and leave all this behind.

- I'm not a kid anymore, Dad. - I know that.

You know, when I was at school,

I used to get it in the playground.

ACAB.

"All coppers are bastards."

"Not my Dad," I'd say, "He's one of the good ones."

Times I'd get a thumping.

You never said.

No. You know why?

Because I was frightened of what you might do to them.

- Give Mum my love. - Sam.

One of the good ones.

I really believed that.

Are you one of the good ones?

Thanks for the lift. There was no need.

Maybe we should go for a drink.

You know, when you're feeling up for it.

You're persistent, aren't you?

Faint heart never won fair lady.

You don't even know me.

I'd love to, though.

All right.

What? Really?

- Cold feet? - No. No, no, no, no.

Just... surprised is all.

I'd take advantage if I were you.

Oh.

Oh, I am so sorry.

I'm s... I'm so sorry.

I'll see you at work.

THURSDAY: Sam's out the firing line. He's off the hook. You don't have to worry.

I knew it'd be right. He's a good boy.

Not a boy any more.

He's a man now, his own man.

He's got responsibilities.

You'd be proud of him.

Oh, I'm always proud of him.

They grow up so quick.

One day, the biggest decision in the world is wafer or cornet.

The next, it's life or death.

Shame we can't all get together for a nice tea,

Plenty of time for that when he gets back.

Nine months?

You could always get the coach down there. See him.

- All that way? - I Why not? I

Else fly.

What would I want with flying?

And anyway, what do you mean, you could.

You mean WE could.

It's not as if you shan't have time.

Well, what about work?

What about it? You'll be done with it by then.

You're not changing your mind, are you?

No, no, of course not.

Morse'll be all right, if that's what you're fretting about.

Yeah, I know he will.

This last go round... he's doing well.

Well, then. Remember what we said?

You only get one life.

MORSE: love and rain.

How English.

I don't think we can claim it all for ourselves.

People have been doing this since there's been people.

Before, even.

Back when we were... whatever we were.

Of course, that's the part you hear.

Seriously, why do you do that, like someone died?

In my case, someone usually has.

It's good to be clear.

Anything further on this soldier we've got in custody?

Yes, sir. Strange put it to him that we recovered

what looks to be the murder weapon.

Rattled him, apparently.

- Oh, in what way? - Went back on his original statement.

Said that after the initial kiss, she suddenly

pulled away from him, gave him a slap.

- Was there anything else, sir? - Actually, there was one thing.

I was talking to Mrs Bright last night about Charity Mudford.

She told me she'd heard a rumour doing the rounds of Mayfair in the late '3Os,

Lord Bayswater wasn't Moira Creighton-Ward's father at all.

She say who was?

The gossip was... some young officer in the South Oxfordshires.

I imagine Lady Bayswater might have an idea?

All come to her now, I suppose?

What will?

The estate Moira inherited from her mother.

The first lady Bayswater, she was the money, apparently.

No other living relatives.

When probate goes through, Charity

Mudford will be a very rich widow.

Died between midnight and two

Single shot entering the head just beneath the orbit of the right eye

and exiting along the lambdoid suture.

Nine-millimeter.

Cartridge just there.

Automatic pistol by the look of things.

Who found him?

Sergeant Major Davies had what's left

of C-company out for a run first thing.

I've ordered an inventory of all side arms on the base,

to see if there are any unaccounted for.

Is that likely?

All firearms are kept securely under lock and key in the armoury.

Any of us would have to sign in the and there's been no withdrawal.

At least not last night, in any event.

- When, then? - Two days ago.

Colonel McDuff withdrew a side arm for a session on a target range.

A Browning L9A1.

- Nine-millimeter? - Yes.

- And where is it now? - It hasn't yet been signed back in.

It'll be about this photographer

- laddie? - More or less.

Wanted to talk to you about Dr Laidlaw.

What about him?

He says he saw you in the officers' the afternoon Jean Ward was killed.

- Can you confirm that? - About five o'clock, would it be?

- Around then. - Yeah, that sounds about right.

You remember him?

Usually drops in about them. Thinks I'm a soft touch.

- How's that? - Rules of the mess.

Guests can't sign for their own drinks,

and I'm not one to see a man go thirsty.

- Now, if that's all... - No, not quite.

You signed out a Browning L9A1 from the armoury two days ago.

- Aye. What of it? - Where is it?

It's back in the armoury. I signed it in straight after practice.

- No, you didn't. - I'm sure I did.

I remember taking it back. I signed it out, signed it in, same as always.

- Swear to God. - Maybe you thought you did,

but, if you had, then it would be there, wouldn't it?

You can't think I had anything to do with that photographer...

...or the sweet lassie.

You said yourself I've an alibi.

- Laidlaw saw me. - Maybe he was mistaken.

No. No, I saw him, I swear it.

Same way you swore you put the pistol back in the armoury?

What exactly were you doing creeping I around the barracks last night?.

- I don't know. - (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Gentlemen, if you've a moment...

Sometimes the men come through the wire

if they've been out on a late pass, missed the last bus,

rather than finding themselves on a charge.

We repair any breaches we find, but it's a large perimeter and pretty porous.

You put a sentry on this till we've got Forensics out.

Yes, of course.

(SIGHS) looks like it puts Private Oswald in the clear at any rate.

For this, but not for Moira Creighton-Ward.

You've changed your tune.

I told you, I'm just trying to keep an open mind

Two killers on the base? They're connected, surely.

Maybe, maybe not.

Interesting.

FARRIDGE was at the protest too.

So FARRIDGE is in with these "Make love not war" types.

I can't see how he'd find anyone sympathetic to that on the base.

Maybe he didn't. Maybe he found someone who felt the exact opposite.

Wandering around that late at night?

Perhaps it was Creighton-Ward's killer.

Going back to the scene of the crime.

Could have had unfinished business out there.

Something he'd forgotten, something he'd left behind and could incriminate him.

OK, if it wasn't Private Oswald, then who?

That leaves Private Collier who found the murder weapon in the bush house.

Lieutenant Carmichael who ordered the wash house swabbed

and Sergeant Major Davies who set Collier and Sam to cleaning.

What about this run-in you had with McDuff?

Oh, he's a law unto himself.

He's held in high regard by the rest of the officers.

Something a regimental hero. By all accounts.

Think they're protecting him?

I think that when he had his knife in my back,

its point was between my fourth and fifth ribs.

- Same as Moira. - Mm, same as Moira, but it is textbook,

they taught us that much in Signals.

And he'd signed out this Browning nine mil

But Laidlaw can stand alibi for the time of Moira's killing.

He says he saw him in the officers' mess.

What if McDuff didn't kill the girl, but did kill FARRIDGE?

Two murders, two killers, two different motives?

Division are after an answer on Oswald.

We must charge him by the end of the day or release him.

It's under review, sir, what with the killing

of this photographer FARRIDGE,

it looks like the killer could still be on the base.

Fresh off the Telex from Dr DeBryn on the bayonet.

- Thank you. - Sir.

Constable Trewlove, good heavens! What's happened to you?

Yesterday's public disorder, sir.

Well, bruised or not, your ready smile brightens our drab walls

with much needed vim and youthful freshness.

- Wouldn't you say so, Fancy? - Yes, Sir.

There's a blood match on the weapon used to kill Moira,

but it's not a regulation army bayonet.

No? What, then?

According to Dr DeBryn, it was made for the K98 rifle,

- standard Wehrmacht issue. - German.

Well, her stepmother's certainly got German connections.

"In and out each other's beds and at it like knives," according to Mrs Bright.

No wonder the upper classes are obsessed with pedigree.

lady Bayswater.

We're rather hoping you can help us.

We've come into information that raises

questions about your stepdaughter's parentage.

Policemen! What a grubby trade you practice.

If my husband were alive, you wouldn't dare ask such a thing.

It may have a bearing on her death.

What utter nonsense.

This is nothing short of persecution.

Persecution? Spare me. You got off light.

Your husband should've hanged, along with

Spode and Webley and the rest of his fascist shower.

You've got the nerve to have something like that on display.

I can't change the past.

You know, if Winston hadn't been so eager for office

all the unpleasantness might have been avoided.

My husband had Hitler's ear.

We could've persuaded him.

Softened his resolve.

- He wasn't immune to reason. - Charming conversationalist, no doubt.

(LAUGHS) Actually, he was a very good mimic.

Terribly witty.

Sir, is it time for that telephone call to the station?

I can take it from here.

The "unpleasantness" as you call it

cost me six years of my life...

...and untold millions a great deal more.

(DOOR SLAMS)

- May I? - Mm.

I understand, as Moira's sole living relative,

you stand to inherit the entirety of her estate.

What are you insinuating?

Money's a very powerful motivator.

To the common vulgarity.

- Now, is that all? - Not quite.

It's been suggested Moira's father was an officer

in the South Oxfordshire regiment.

If you know who that was, I'd like to hear it.

Why should I tell you people anything.

Another time, another place,

I could've had both of you shot, just like that.

Snap of my fingers. (CLICKS FINGERS)

Well, that was then, this is now.

If you'd like to see a penny of your stepdaughter's inheritance,

you will co-operate with us fully. Is that clear?

You been with her long?

20 odd years.

Admirer of her husband, were you?

No man is a hero to his valet, sir, I it's a job, like anything else. I

What was Moira like?

An unhappy girl.

She suffered terribly at boarding school over her father.

That was here in Oxfordshire, funnily enough.

There any talk about who the real

The real father?

I always took it to be Lord Bayswater, sir.

It's an awful thing.

I was very fond of her... in my way.

What way was that, Mr Barker?

One that knows its place and proper station, Chief Inspector.

But there was no love lost between her and her stepmother?

I'm afraid I couldn't speak to that, sir.

But you could speak as to her whereabouts

on the afternoon following her appearance at the debating society?

She was here, sir.

You can vouch for that?

I had some small errands to run in town for an hour

or two, but she was, here when I left...

...and upon my return.

Moira's grandfather was Commanding Officer

in the South Oxfordshire Regiment in the '30s

Two of his favourites were regular house guests here

Mungo Coward and Johnny Champion.

Major Coward and Colonel Champion?

She thought it could be either of them.

Maybe the girl had heard the rumours

and took it upon herself to confront the man she believed to be her father.

But which of them? The regiment leaves for Germany this evening.

Unless we can identify him, Moira's killer, whoever it is, leaves with

I've been given to understand

that you and Major Coward were regular guests

at Colonel Proserpine's family estate...

...where his daughter Eleanor was often staying.

I can imagine what this is about.

The question you're here to ask, I can't answer. I simply don't know.

You admit to a closeness with Moira Creighton-Ward's mother, then?

And you, Major?

Mungo was only ever a friend to Eleanor,

a good friend to her, and brother officer to me.

But you knew about their relationship?

Eleanor was a wonderful girl.

We all knew what Paddy Creighton-Ward was.

He took no pains to hide his adultery with Charity Mudford.

No pains? He was brazen about it. All London knew what they were up to.

Yes, but was he still sleeping with

It wasn't something we discussed.

We had our time and then Eleanor said it

might be best not to see each other again,

so she ended our relationship.

Anyway, seven, eight months later, I saw it in the papers, the gift of a daughter.

- But did she make contact with you? - Moira, no.

So you'd no idea it was her when she came to the base?

I suppose, if she'd used her real name, I might have thought something

Moira, you see, is my mother's name.

Surely, that was a sign she was your daughter.

It could've been,

but it could just as easily have been Paddy Creighton-Ward's idea of a joke.

Let him wonder.

Now I'll never know.

No surprises as to cause of death,

but the cartridge is unusual.

If you find anything like it on the base, I'd be surprised.

Head stamp gives its date, lot number, as well as case metal code.

- 44. - 1944, to be precise.

German military.

A K98 bayonet and a pistol both used by the Wehrmacht?

Yes.

Souvenir, perhaps.

The spoils of war.

It wasn't unknown for soldiers to relieve

prisoners and the dead of their arms.

THURSDAY: Mr Barker, what can I do for you?

I didn't say anything when you came, it seemed like a betrayal,

but she wrote to me, Moira.

Had done since she was at boarding school.

That's the last.

last few months, she's been happy.

She met someone.

I don't know if there was anything more to it than... hero worship, I suppose,

but he'd certainly made an impression on her.

Who had?

Please.

We'd like to talk to you about Jean Ward.

(CLICKS FINGERS)

- (DOOR CLOSES) - What about her?

- You were involved. - Politically, yes.

She was looking for a cause. Something to believe in.

- Something or someone? - Sometimes it's the same thing,

but that's as far as it went.

Where were you, when Miss Ward was at the barracks?

Here, and later at a protest

outside a hair salon in East Cowley that operates a colour-bar.

I have at least 20 witnesses can vouch for my movements.

You know a man called FARRIDGE, a photographer?

Yeah, I know him. He does pictures. Chronicles the struggle.

When did you see him last?

After Jean died, he came by to tell me, why?

Somebody shot him last night, up at High Wood.

Well, you... you can't pin that one on me.

I was in a cell at Cowley Police Station until first thing.

Any idea why he went back up to the barracks?

Er...

He'd called... to say that one of you had arrested a brother for it.

Maybe he had other ideas.

And Jean...

Can you think of anyone who would wish her harm?

It wasn't easy for her, being her father's daughter,

but she put all that behind her.

- Changed her name and started over. - Something you had in common.

She was a beautiful soul.

Had she lived, her future would've been as bright as her past was... shadowed.

I'd have seen to it.

What do you make to him? Could he be right about FARRIDGE?

The Convergence Of The Twain.

He goes to find out what happened to Jean and gets more than he bargained

Happened since then. Could Champion be lying?

Maybe Jean contacted him, told him she was coming.

It's a hell of a leap from that to killing

someone you believe to be your own daughter. It's unlikely.

Double-check Williams' alibi for the time of Jean's killing

and take a run down to the hairdresser's.

See if you can dig anything else

I'll walk back to the nick, see what Mr Bright

wants to do with Private Oswald.

Is this the man you saw leading the protest?

To tell you the truth, dear, I couldn't swear to it.

I'm sure their mothers can tell them apart, but,

er, don't ask me, dear, cos I'd be at a loss.

Right. Thank you.

Oh, yes. She's very popular.

The face that launched 1,000 snips.

But I'm afraid she's spoken for, if you had any designs of your own.

How do you mean?

I've a gentleman buys all the blow-ups of her off me when I'm done.

None of the other girls, just her.

He just comes in every month or two and I put them by for him.

(CHUCKLES) Takes all sorts, I suppose.

When it comes to men, dear, I it doesn't do to judge..

- What's his name? - I couldn't tell you, I'm afraid.

He wouldn't wear glasses, by any chance?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

I was hoping to find Dr Laidlaw.

You and me both. He must be up at the camp playing soldiers.

- Have you got a permit for that? - I wouldn't have.

Well, then, put it down.

It's not mine, it's his. He collects this crap.

Got all sorts, pistols, rifles, swords, flags.

He'll buy anything as long as it's Third Reich.

It's people make something what it is, not the name it's called by.

Thanks.

And as long as the Colours remain

and there's one man left to see they don't fall to shame,

a regiment never truly dies.

Thank you.

Good bye.

Over 20 years since I was on a barracks square.

Could've been yesterday.

Nothing changes. They all look the same, sound the same, smell the same.

Today, we have naming of parts.

Yesterday we had daily cleaning...

...and tomorrow morning we shall have, "What to do after firing".

But today...

...today, we have naming of parts.

What do you reckon to Laidlaw, then?

- I think he couldn't let her go. - Yeah, that'll do it every time.

- How's your head? - (EXHALES SHARPLY) Ringing.

If you will get yourself shot at...

You did all right.

Knew you would.

- Do you want to drive? - Go on, then.
