Well, this was definitely the best of the three although that's not much to brag about. This one you probably could (and, in fact, should) watch as a standalone since it summarizes the previous two movies before wrapping up the whole case. This one stars one of the dirty cops, Morris Jobson (David Morrissey) who is starting to feel bad for all the terrible things he was involved in, and a lawyer (Mark Addy), who doesn't really want to be involved but feels guilty for not wanting to help the mother of the accused. See, the West Yorkshire police arrested, tried, and imprisoned Michael Myshkin (Daniel Mays) for the murders. Myshkin is mentally retarded but was carrying a picture of one of the missing girls when he was picked up. The lawyer is also retained by the mother of Michael's friend, Leonard (Gerard Kearns), who was arrested after another girl went missing while Michael is in jail. Leonard "commits suicide" about twenty minutes after the lawyer tries to get in to see him. Morris pretty much knows all of the pieces to this puzzle and the lawyer reaches pretty much the same conclusions and actually gets to the real murderer's lair before the cop. He's then beaten over the head and shoved into a cellar. Then it's up to Morris to make things right.
I'm starting to think that West Yorkshire is the Texas of England, just without the death penalty.
