YMMV / Endeavour S 2 E 04 Neverland

• Complete Monster:
  • Alderman Gerald Wintergreen and property developer Josiah Landesman, while publicly respected pillars of the Oxford community renowned for involvement in multiple charity projects, are secretly joint leaders of a pedophile ring. Ten years previously Wintergreen was appointed governor of Blenheim Vale school for wayward boys; abusing the position, Wintergreen and Landesman secretly preyed on at least six boys, taking them away in the night to be repeatedly raped by them and other pedophiles, traumatizing several victims well into adulthood. Wintergreen also did the same to Angela Fairbridge, the young daughter of the school's doctor. Following Peter Williams setting Wintergreen's car alight in retaliation, the pair, along with Constable Clive Deare, viciously beat and starved the boys until they got the culprits name. Murdering Peter, they buried his body in the grounds. In the present, fearing that the journalist Patterson could expose them, they send Deare into silence him and their former victim George Aldridge.
  • Assistant Chief Constable Clive Deare, while erpetuating the façade of being an upstanding officer of the law, is in fact the third founding member of Wintergreen and Landesman's pedophile ring, as well as their enforcer. Ordered by them to silence Patterson, he along with several of his corrupt county officers murdered Patterson, framing it as a drunken accident, and then had George Alright beat senseless and drowned him in a pit. Spotted by 10-year-old runaway Tommy Cork, Deare ordered his goons to find and silence the only witness. Setting Morse up to be killed, when this failed, he personally garroted his boss Chief Constable Rupert Standish, framing Morse. Keeping Tommy alive only to lure Morse and Thursday to Blenheim Vale, he intended to frame them both for the murders. Shooting Inspector Thursday, he mocked Morse, gloating that he'd probably receive another medal for killing them.
