10 years after Martin Shaw turned the beloved Inspector Gently novels into a hit BBC One TV series, filming has begun on two final feature-length episodes. Back in action one last time will be Shaw as the eponymous inspector, who is tested like never before just as he winds down his career. In the first of two films - Gently Liberated - the inspector and his trusted allies Bacchus (Lee Ingleby) and Coles (Lisa McGrillis) are brought in to investigate a possible "miscarriage of justice". However, their final case in Gently and the New Age has the Met's new Special Investigations Squad boss Lister bringing in the inspector to investigate high levels of corruption within the force. Both of these mini-movies will be set in 1970, as the women's liberation movement and the rise of the Conservative Party bring clashing values to Britain.
浮华的都市,光怪陆离的现象层出不穷:为了保险金,丈夫杀害了妻子;难改赌博恶习,牛郎拍下客人的性爱录像借此敲诈勒索;遭受继父侵犯,少女却不敢声张……处于弱势地位的人们声诉无门,又咽不下气看着对方逍遥,怨气便由此积聚。 这时,一名名为“怨屋”(木下あゆ美饰)的神秘女子就会出现,她表示会为求助者消除怨气,让痛恨的他/她消失、抹杀其社会性存在、甚至杀人都可以,事成后则根据报复的程度收取相应的酬金,保证没有后顾之忧。在怨屋的精心设计下,每一起案件都未留下任何痕迹。殊不知,这早就引起了一直追踪的寄木警官(きたろう饰)的怀疑。
