Simply because "our hero" is in trouble from the "word Go" in this episode, well directed by Danny Boyle. In the first few minutes he makes several key mistakes which hands this initiative to his aggressor, who for the most part remains in the background. In my view this is one of the best 3 of the Morse Series, which he pieces together but never in such a way that he is in control of everything. One minor "hiccup" which would not have been apparent when this was made is that Morse refers to "McNutt" teaching him everything he ever knew! Clearly the producers of "Endeavour" forget this when creating their characters for the series with "Fred Thursday" being the Inspector. Seeing Morse come from being the one "under the cosh" to his final "triumph" is a good way to spend around 100 minutes. Good TV
