DS Peter Jakes:
[entering a room in Mason Gull's house] He's been here.

DC Endeavour Morse:
Yeah of course he has. This has been his bolt hole.

DI Fred Thursday:
[picks up a picture] Doctor Cronyn, I presume. The *real* Daniel Cronyn.

[Morse, Jakes and Thursday enter an upstairs room and see the drugs and surgical instruments neatly arranged on the tables]

DC Endeavour Morse:
He's kept him drugged on morphine. [Morse looks towards the windows] Far enough out so that nobody could hear his screams.

DS Peter Jakes:
Why not just kill him straightaway?

DC Endeavour Morse:
Because the body at the consulting rooms had to be fresh.

DI Fred Thursday:
[reading a document] The murder of Mrs. Gull was investigated by Detective Inspector Foxley of Oxford City Police. Two witnesses appeared for the prosecution - slaughterman Benjamin Nimmo, who dropped by the inn for a pint of ale and found the body of Mrs. Gull, and barmaid Gertrude Tate, who was there with her eight-year-old daughter Evelyn.

DS Peter Jakes:
What's the odds Mr. Balfour will confirm his wife's maiden name was Tate?

DI Fred Thursday:
[reads another document as Morse looks at a flyer detailing Philip Madison's recital] The case was heard by His Honour Mr. Justice Madison. Gull's been killing anyone connected with the trial.

DC Endeavour Morse:
He's going after Faye Madison. Now. F for Faye. She's the fifth victim. We need to get officers down to Alfredus College at once. That's why Gull played me Tosca over the telephone. Alfredus College is home to The Oxford Scholars Choral Association. The choir I sing with.

DS Peter Jakes:
So where does Tosca come in?

DC Endeavour Morse:
The Oxford Scholars Choral Association. We sometimes refer to it by acronym - TOSCA.
