In July 1966 at the Museum of Natural History, almost empty, save for some schoolgirls, Adrian Weiss, a specialist in heraldry and genealogy, is murdered. The similar murder of a 12-year-old girl at her boarding school leads Morse to delve into a 100-year-old murder mystery involving a wealthy family with connections to India and an inheritance. The girls staying for the summer, as they cannot reach home for the vacation, play pranks based on the book about the murdered family 100 years earlier, but do not own up until afterwards. The fifth generation descendant of the owner of the large family home, now the school for girls, thinks he might finally inherit with a change in laws for a bastard child. He murders those in his way, worked out by Morse by reading Weiss's detailed files. A masonic ring connected to the case goes missing. [e] In the pilot episode, having been transferred to CID after only two years as a uniformed police constable, the young Morse soon becomes disillusioned with law enforcement and begins writing a resignation letter. Before he can resign, Morse is sent with other detectives from the Carshall-Newtown Police to the Oxford City Police's Cowley Police Station to assist in investigating the case of a missing fifteen-year-old schoolgirl.

June 1965. The sudden death of a secretarial student named Margaret Bell and the shooting of a doctor appear unconnected, despite Morse's theories.

Following the shooting of a vicar, Morse is reduced to general duties for dismissing a beautiful but mentally unstable girl as a suspect, and must continue his investigations alone despite warnings of possible dismissal from his superiors.

When the egg is stolen, suspicion falls on another of Eve's clients, latest victim Simon Lake.

The first full series begins with Morse transferring to the Oxford City Police in 1965 following a double-murder investigation that took place during the pilot episode. Morse is taken under the wing of Inspector Thursday. Thursday names Morse his designated "bag man" and shows him the ropes as Morse begins to solve a string of complex multiple-murders, much to the envy and annoyance of some of his superiors, particularly Detective Sergeant Jakes and Chief Superintendent Bright. Morse displays his genius in solving intricate murders, including several with opera connections. Thursday and fellow-Constable Strange try to steer the young Morse into taking his sergeant's exam, so that he may be relieved of "general duties" and become Thursday's official "bag man". In the last episode of the series, Morse is shot while attempting to apprehend a murderer and is placed on light duties. At the same time, he comes to terms with the death, in December 1965, of his cold, unfeeling father. The plot draws heavily on The Lion in Winter and the Plantagenet family, with the firm owned by the Broom family (referring to the origin of the name Plantagenet), headed by the estranged couple Henry (referring to Henry II) and Nora ( Eleanor of Aquitaine) and their sons Richard ( Richard II) and Johnny ( John) after the death of the eldest son Harry ( Henry the Young King). Their home is Chinon Court ( Chinon Castle), whilst Henry's secretary is Alice Vexin ( Alys of France, Countess of Vexin). [3] In Episode 2, 'Raga' shows tensions between the Asian community and far-right political groups in the build-up to a general election. A delivery driver from an Indian restaurant is found dead in the home of a celebrity chef. Morse breaks things off with Violetta but she turns up at his home and they embrace. Thursday is haunted by Molly Andrews' murder and regularly walks along the towpath where it happened. a b Schwartz, Ryan (23 May 2022). "Endeavour to End With Season 9". TV Line. Penske Media Group.
