As the snow piles up outside, however, the bus comes to an abrupt halt and the lights go out. Instead, he gets back on that 33 bus, determined to crack the case. (Courtesy of Mammoth Screen and MASTERPIECE)īut Morse has never been good at following orders. The senior detective dismisses Morse from the case, telling him to take the four weeks’ leave that he’s due and clean himself up: “I can’t use you in this shape.” “You’re the drunk on the bus that we’ve been looking for,” Thursday roars over flashbacks of Morse falling down the stairs of the double-decker bus that night. When he finds a bus ticket that’s fallen out of Morse’s pocket and realizes he was on the same bus as the murdered man, his mood does not improve. Thursday’s already reeling from the news that his son Sam, a soldier stationed in Northern Ireland during a period of great tumult, failed to return from leave. But tension abounds when Morse shows up a day later and criticizes their work. “He’s just a bit run-down, I expect,” he tells their boss, Chief Superintendent Reginald Bright (Anton Lesser). Thursday, ever loyal, makes excuses for him. Where is Morse in all this? Waking up on his couch with an empty bottle in front of him and what looks to be a wretched hangover pounding in his head.
Detective Chief Inspector Fred Thursday ( Roger Allam) and Detective Sergeant Jim Strange (Sean Rigby) question the driver and conductor, John and Les (Ray Emmet Brown and Adam Ewan), and search for passengers, including a drunken man in his thirties. The episode begins with the brutally slain body of an Oxford professor, Patrick Stanton (William Sebag-Montefiore), turning up with cross marks on his eyes and a ticket for the 33 bus.

When suspicious things start happening in dark rooms and twisted corridors, it looks as if the killer may be among them, and it’s a chance for Morse, who drank his way through most of 1971 after a devastating love affair, to redeem himself in the eyes of his colleagues. “Terminus” was the title of the series’ 33rd episode, written by creator and executive producer Russell Lewis and directed by Kate Saxon, but it could just as easily have been called “Friday the 13th, 1971” or “I Know What You Did Eight Winters Ago.” In the middle of a blizzard, Detective Sergeant Endeavour Morse ( Shaun Evans) and a group of stranded bus passengers take refuge in an abandoned hotel that closed down years ago after guests were massacred by an escaped psychopath. The penultimate season of British drama Endeavour, Masterpiece’s longest-running current series, concluded on PBS Sunday with one of its more unusual installments: a mystery that fused Agatha Christie and slasher films. ‘Endeavour’ Season 8 Trailer: ‘I’m Here to Make Sure Justice Gets Done’ (VIDEO).‘Endeavour’ to End With Season 9 on PBS Masterpiece.
