A year after her murder, the police re-open the case of Yvonne Harrison when they receive an anonymous letter implicating a burglar, Harry Repp, who is about to be released from prison. Supt. Strange assigns the case to DS Lewis, who is chafing at the bit awaiting his promotion to Inspector. Morse has been ill and has only just returned to work. He steps on Lewis' toes by involving himself in the case, but as the body count rises, Morse finds himself in charge of investigating a woman who had many affairs with many different men. When he learns that the dead men were in possession of large amount of cash, he suspects they were blackmailing her murderer
流泪????看完最后一季最后一集，摩斯一生都致力于探案，抓住真凶，讨厌权贵和一切虚伪的人和事，傲慢有个性，不会趋炎赴势，是真正的踏踏实实做事的人，他爱喝酒，爱音乐，爱读书，性格倔强，时不时会凶一下路易斯，但是他的心是很柔软善良的，在生命最后一刻，他说“Thank Louis for me!”看到这，我泪湿了，Good Bye,Sir！
How clear, how lovely bright, How beautiful to sight Those beams of morning play; How heaven laughs out with glee Where, like a bird set free, Up from the eastern sea Soars the delightful day.
To-day I shall be strong, No more shall yield to wrong, Shall squander life no more; Days lost, I know not how, I shall retrieve them now; Now I shall keep the vow I never kept before.
Ensanguining the skies How heavily it dies Into the west away; Past touch and sight and sound Not further to be found, How hopeless under ground Falls the remorseful day.

一集挨着一集地看完了Inspector Morse，最后，看到他心力衰竭离世，临死前吐出的最后一句话是“Thank Lewis for me”，我哭了一场。真没想到我这个大龄剧迷也有一朝动情时。
虽然我心里也很清楚这只是电视剧，一部八十年代开启的英国犯罪推理剧，剧中一切都是虚构的，无论是他的存在，还是他的消亡。不过这位主角有太多美好品质：勇敢，正直，智慧，高尚。嗯嗯，他是一个高尚的人，对他人罹受之苦难，满是同情，满是嫉愤。他总是呕心沥血、废寝忘食地查案，直至所有证据都合情合理，犯罪情景还原，真凶落网。对于文学、歌剧、古典音乐和美酒，这些人类文明之树所结出的最好最美的果实，他从不苟且，尽情享用，哪怕消耗了全部的健康，至死方休。对于破案，他具有超乎寻常、近乎苛刻的责任感，常常捕捉到一些令人不可思议的细节。他的严肃，一道一道刻在他的脸上，他的花白头发里，他字斟句酌说出的每一句话里。他用全情投入赋予了警探这个职业以荣誉感，而不是相反。
他不是什么完美角色，脾气暴躁，酗酒无度，傲慢无礼，几乎从来不在乎别人的感受，说话针针见血，刀刀毙命。但这只是因为他不拘世俗，不屑屈从权贵，也不愿意浪费时间于陈词滥调罢了。他对人是有真正的关怀的，你可以从他面对罹难者时满含痛楚、绝望的眼神里看出来，也可以从他和Lewis长达十余年的赤诚合作看出来。Lewis从青葱小生到皱纹在额头上蔓延开来，一路跟他学习，Morse于他，亦师亦友。Morse总是郑重其事地介绍他是"Detective Sergeant Lewis"，临终遗言也是感谢Lewis。因为只有Lewis能够忽略他的坏脾气，跟他一起不顾一切地把真相追查到底。想到这些，眼泪又下来了。
Morse其实也有直男癌倾向，认为女性天然地温和、柔弱、需要呵护。最后两季出现的病理师Laura Hobson好像就是专为治他的直男癌而诞生的角色：女性，智慧，犀利，不需要“呵护”，专业杀伤力十级。这三个人的共性其实也大致如此，为了真理、真相，全情投入，不断超越人性的弱点和桎梏。这里面有一种个人精神追求带来的纯粹和美德，而且无关宗教信仰。可是，我们能借助自己的力量，做一个至善至美的人吗？

How clear, how lovely bright,
How beautiful to sight
Those beams of morning play;
How heaven laughs out with glee
Where, like a bird set free,
Up from the eastern sea
Soars the delightful day.
To-day I shall be strong,
No more shall yield to wrong,
Shall squander life no more;
Days lost, I know not how,
I shall retrieve them now;
Now I shall keep the vow
I never kept before.
Ensanguining the skies
How heavily it dies
Into the west away;
Past touch and sight and sound
Not further to be found,
How hopeless under ground
Falls the remorseful day.
