A familiar car
Wield finds Dalziel’s vehicle outside the Golden Fleece and sees him meeting Kay Kafka. The sight creates a sudden sense of foreboding.

Harrogate visit
Wield travels to Harrogate to question Jake Gallipot, whose card was found in Pal’s wallet. He finds Gallipot dead in his office.

Work continues
Wield examines the 1992 diary and traces Gallipot’s connection to Ash-Mac’s. His methodical research helps Pascoe see the broader investigation.
Personal steadiness
Digweed remains part of the life Wield returns to after the case’s difficult encounters. Their relationship offers constancy amid deaths and official secrecy.

An unusable recording
Wield hears Waverley’s account and agrees that it cannot become ordinary evidence. He supports burning the tape rather than exposing uncertain allegations.
Loyalty to colleagues
His quiet agreement with Pascoe and Dalziel shows the trust within their group. His private partnership with Digweed remains a separate place of emotional clarity.
