| # | Title | Writer(s) | Director | Original airdate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 (5-01) | "Second Time Around" | Daniel Boyle | Adrian Shergold | 20 February 1991 (1991-02-20) |
| A highly thought of and distinguished senior officer, Charlie Hillian, has just retired and is planning to write a book of his biggest cases. During the night after he received an OBE, Hillian is killed in a struggle in his rural Oxfordshire home. The notes for one chapter of his forthcoming book are missing, the only case in the book which Hillian and his then DS, Patrick Dawson (now a DCI), didn't solve. That case involved the murder of an eight year old girl, Mary Lapsley (Morse found her body), and it appears that somebody doesn't want that chapter to be published. (Snippets of Janis Kelly singing "Senza Mamma" from Suor Angelica by Giacomo Puccini play throughout this episode). | ||||
