The story

Richard Thorncroft is a former television actor, known for playing Detective Bruce Mindhorn, a detective with a cybernetic eye that enables him to see truth (described as an optical lie detector), on the 1980s TV show Mindhorn.

Melly says he will only speak to Detective Mindhorn, believing Mindhorn is real.
