ENDEAVOUR
SUNDAY, JULY 1 @ 7:00PM & 11:00PM
It’s 1965, and outside of a posh estate, a sinister man conducts surveillance, while within, black-tied gentlemen make high-stakes wagers. But as dawn breaks, it stirs a dissipated scene of older men and teenage girls, awakening entangled. And the next day, fifteen-year-old Oxford schoolgirl Mary Tremlett is reported missing, presumed dead. Last seen waiting at a bus stop in the rain in the early hours of Sunday morning, she left behind few clues and many secrets.
Endeavour Morse, a rookie Detective Constable who only the day before was writing his letter of resignation from the force, now finds himself en route to Oxford to assist in the search for Mary. He returns not as a student but as a rookie cop, to the very university he’d abruptly left just a few years earlier. And the welcome he receives from his contemptuous DS, Arthur Lott, emphasizes his position of utter subordination.
