Every weekend I watch a television show called New Tricks. The show is about 3 retired British police detectives who have been recruited to investigative unsolved crimes in a unit led by a younger, and female, Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman.
One of the detectives, Jack, is still completely devoted to his wife Mary who died several years ago after she was hit by a car. Jack has been haunted by the fact that the driver of the hit and run vehicle was never found - until last week. The unrepentant murderer confessed to Jack that he had done it and taunted him repeatedly that he had done it on purpose to stop Jack's investigation. So....... Jack tried to run over the man with his car, but Sandra ran into Jack's car and stopped him.
Then the 3 ex-detectives and Sandra covered up the attempted crime after arresting the almost murdered bad guy. To complicate matters, another police woman had been temporiarily assigned to their unit to spend her last few weeks before retirement. They thought she was sent there to spy on them, but in the end they learned she had also helped cover up the assassination attempt out of respect for Jack.
Now that's what I want. I want to work with a team that will help bury the body.
