It has already been known in advance that something will happen between Morse and his mentor Inspector Fred Thursday such that Morse will never mention his name again. It is known because before Young Morse was shown Commissioner Morsewhich starred Elder Morse. John Thaw excelled in the role from 1987–2000.

Now we finally get an answer to the question that has been heating up the fans: what leads to the irrevocable break between Morse and Thursday and complete radio silence?
Neither of them will die, although that idea is also played with in the finale. Morse ends up in the hospital, and Fred has a seizure before he’s even shot at. The duo still manages to survive.

Moral dilemmas also arise. Morse learns what Thursday has been guilty of. He has stabbed a motorcycle gang member to defend his own son, who got into bad roads. Despite everything, the ideological Morse remains loyal to his mentor to the end and spares him even knowledge that would only add to the pain.

Because of what he did – and to protect his family – Thursday has only one chance. He must disappear with his wife and son without leaving a trace. It’s the only option if the konkari police want them all to keep their lives. For the same reason, Morse must take Thursday’s secret with him to the grave.
