Inspector Morse is a character from the detective novels by British author Colin Dexter. John Thaw stars as a most unlikely detective in this popular television mystery series. Inspector Morse is a gentle romantic, out of shape, craving good beer, classical music, and difficult crossword puzzles. But aided by trusted sidekick Sergeant Lewis (Kevin Whately), Morse still gets the job done.

"Promised Land," Parts One & Two - Morse and Lewis travel to Australia, where a former felon has been given a new life and identity for his testimony against a criminal. But it appears that the gangland boss is now aware of the felon's new life and identity.
