Inspector Lewis

The Quality of Mercy

Season 2 Episode 6 | 1hr 24m 15s

When a young actor is murdered during a student Shakespeare production, Lewis and Hathaway sift through the motives of several suspects ranging from a jealous thespian to an Oxford dropout to a playgoer only too anxious to use his ticket stub as an alibi. As the duo tracks down the truth, they unearth a dark secret that hits Lewis eerily close to home.

Aired: 08/14/10
Funding for MASTERPIECE is provided by Viking and Raymond James with additional support from public television viewers and contributors to The MASTERPIECE Trust, created to help ensure the series’ future.
