What Happened To Morse In The Last Episode Of Endeavour?
The final episode reveals Morse’s mentor, Fred Thursday, to be the actual murderer of a man named Tomahawk. It is revealed that Fred’s son, Sam, was involved in a drug dealing scenario with the man, who happened to be a part of a biker gang. Tomahawk was threatening Sam, and Fred stabbed him in order to save his child Sam. This eventually caused Tomahawk’s death, propelling his biker gang to seek revenge.
The episode shows Morse and Fred parting ways in order for Fred and his son, Sam, to be safe from the biker gang. Before parting, Fred gives Morse his revolver.
The final scenes show Morse sitting on a Bench in the Churchyard, holding the revolver that Fred gave him and reloading him. Then the viewers hear a gunshot and are shocked. Everyone believes that Morse might have actually shot himself since he might be contemplating suicide.
However, he is later shown driving off in his Jaguar, which states that he is alive and safe. So the question arises about why Morse shot the bullet. It is left open to the interpretation of the viewers. It is almost certain that Morse did not kill anybody.
The bullet might have been a symbolic representation of the death of Morse Endeavour as a character and being reborn as just Morse, which perfectly fits the sequel. Another reason might be that Morse was left alone after his mentor left, and he could have fired the bullet in a fit of rage. The ending is open to interpretations, and till an insider source tells the exact reason for the fired bullet, no one can be certain.
