The Hack (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
We're trying to do something a bit
different with
- the Daniel Morgan case.
- Daniel Morgan,
axe murder, 1987.
We have our suspicions as to
who's involved.
We've just got to get them
saying they did it.
The Metropolitan Police have a reward
of up to £50,000
for any person who can give me
information to the arrest
and charge of those responsible.
The Vians are nasty. Jimmy's rank.
But Rees. Oh, he's clever.
We caught
one conversation between Fillery
- and Alex Marunchak.
- And who is this Marunchak?
News of the World flunky. He's a no one.
They've been watching the house, Jacqui.
Hey! Come here!
Do be aware of the power
and the impact of the media.
- Of News International.
- Exactly.
Your budget was spent
harassing me in every way,
leading to problems for my family.
We think that there isn't
sufficient evidence.
So it's dead, right? A dead duck.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow ♪
It seems like the car falling off
has made you better.
- Have a holly, jolly ♪
- That's it.
Yes, look. You hit me with a
Hi, this is Dave. Leave a message.
Dave, it's James Ward here.
I know it's Christmas,
but I've been thinking
I've decided I'll do it.
I'll go in the box. I'll name
I'll tell everyone who done Dan Morgan.
So just ring me as soon as
you get this, all right?
Thanks.
- So how was Christmas?
- Well, it was Christmas.
- What, you don't like Christmas?
- John,
the best day of Christmas is Boxing Day,
because then you know you get 364 days
to go till the next Christmas.
How was yours?
We had a lovely Christmas. Thank you.
Er, James Ward. Remind me.
Got put away for
drug trafficking last year.
Wants a deal in return for
information on Daniel Morgan.
- He's done deals before.
- And how is his information?
- What's your feeling?
- My feeling is that
the Morgan investigation
closed two years ago,
and I now work at Customs.
He knows things. He does.
And he rang me over Christmas.
- He said he'd go QE.
- He'll go in the box?
That's what he said. So I pulled him
out of Belmarsh yesterday.
We had a chat.
So if we nicked him a year ago, why
is he only stepping up with this now?
It's my wife. She's really unwell.
- She could die.
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
That's why I need to get out of here,
so I can look after her.
I don't want her to die alone.
She shouldn't have to die alone.
- I understand.
- But I need
- assurances.
- There are ways we can protect you.
The people who've done Morgan,
it's the worst kept secret in the world.
Whole of Croydon knows who done it.
Shall we start at the beginning?
It was Glenn, with the axe.
Jimmy with the car.
It was purposely done.
Jonathan Rees wanted it done.
- I hear it was over a woman.
- And who paid?
Rees.
And Garry?
He weren't there. His job was to keep
everyone in line.
Sid Fillery was used later on
to disrupt the inquiry.
Glenn used to call it
the Golden Wonder murder.
Because of all the crisps that
Danny had bought for his kids
just before he left the pub.
Okay, that's a great story.
Where did you get it from?
Garry told me. A few times.
Glenn told me face to face
a couple of times as well.
Glenn said he got 25 grand for the job.
Is that good enough?
Ooh, that's not bad.
I mean, it's hearsay, but it's not bad.
We'll need to follow protocol
to the letter.
Uh-huh.
Look, the way this works is that
we go through what we call
a cleansing process.
You confess to your past crimes,
hand over all your assets.
I've been selling cannabis
for 20 years, Dave.
I'm not sure I can remember everything.
You will get a separate debrief team.
You talk to them, they report back to me.
It's what we call a sterile corridor.
Why can't I speak to you?
So I can't be accused of influencing
you, feeding you information.
No.
No, I can't do that.
I don't trust the Met.
They're all, they're all bent at the Met.
Look, I'll
I'll be honest with you here, Jimmy.
This really isn't my case anymore.
You want this, this is the process.
I don't want my wife to die alone.
No, you don't.
Okay, then.
I'll do it.
This could be our ticket.
We could crack this open, Dave.
You and me.
We could crack open Daniel Morgan.
Fifth time lucky. What do you think?
I thought we were moving forward.
Things have felt better recently.
Well, we are. We are moving forward.
You've just told me they're reopening
Daniel Morgan with you as SIO.
- It won't be like last time.
- Oh, and you're presenting it to me
as if it's a done deal.
You didn't even ask me.
Jacqui, it's completely different.
We've got them on the back foot
this time.
We had Witness Protection
install panic alarms.
We had journalists fishing
for our bank details.
We had Our kids were followed
by The News of the World to school.
- That'll not be happening again.
- The people you're investigating
are private investigators.
They invade people's lives, Dave,
and I'm not doing it again.
I can't go back to that.
Jacqui.
- You don't know how hard I've worked.
- You won't. You won't.
It'll be quick this time. Clean.
Well, why does it have to be you?
Why? You're irreplaceable, Dave.
Because nobody knows Morgan like me.
I know this case inside out.
- You want it?
- No.
- Yes, you do.
- Fuck, it's the last thing I want.
Yates?
- He doesn't trust anyone else.
- No.
You don't trust anyone else.
How is it going to work?
I commute five days a week
to Northallerton
I've got Crimewatch and I'm teaching.
Explain to me how this is will work.
- We will make it work.
- So it's a done deal?
Can you say no?
Jacqui.
After the last investigation, the CPS
said we had all the pieces
of the puzzle, but we lacked the glue
to stick them together.
James Ward could be that glue,
not on his own.
Ward's not enough.
To get this over the line,
we need further evidence
to corroborate his version of events.
My little brother
was murdered 19 years ago.
In that time, our family
have been through
four failed police investigations.
The most recent of which,
Operation Abelard, was run by you,
DCS Cook. So forgive us if we're not
jumping up and down
because you think
you might have found a new lead.
I understand.
Isobel, we appreciate that
this can't be easy.
But let me assure you,
DCS Cook lives and breathes this case.
No officer wants to find the people
who killed your son
and bring them to justice
more than this man.
You said, Detective Chief
Superintendent Cook,
that apart from this new witness,
you said that you need further evidence.
What sort of evidence?
We need people talking.
That means we need witnesses that can
put our suspects at the scene.
At least two, preferably more.
Now, Ward said this was
a South London open secret.
Let's see if we can find anyone else
out there saying the same thing.
Let's see what we can catch
from the suspects themself.
Now, Garry and James Ward are both
banged up for drug trafficking.
The other two, we suspect,
still up to no good.
Jonathan Rees. Rees served four years
for conspiring to plant cocaine
on an innocent woman
to help her ex win
a child custody battle.
He's out now and back working
as a private investigator.
Sid Fillery has just done
three years community service
for possession of indecent
images of children.
He's now running a pub in Norfolk.
- You're joking.
- I wish I was.
We have taps on Rees's phone,
and we have probes
in the visitors' room of
Garry Vian's nick.
The DPS still own the house
next door to Glenn Vian.
So we reinstate the probes there.
We go over the old files.
All 200 crates of them. Let me know.
Now, motive. Rumour has it that Daniel
was about to sell a story about
police corruption to the tabloids.
Now, can we back this up?
Other theories include sexual jealousy.
Daniel and Rees were both linked
to the same woman.
Margaret Harrison. Rees and Harrison
are still in a relationship.
Are there any other motives
out there? We follow them all.
Any questions?
I have a question.
How, after all this time,
do you propose to get people talking?
Triggers.
We need Mike Sullivan at The Sun.
I've got good contacts
at The Mirror and The Mail.
We don't need The Sun.
No, we need The Sun
and we need their readership.
John, we've been actively investigating
the relationship between Jonathan
Rees and The News of the World.
The News of the World and The Sun
are entirely separate publications.
And Mike's
Mike's as solid as they come.
If we ask him to keep
this away from Rebekah,
- he will keep this away from Rebekah.
- No, no. Sorry.
You just said they're entirely
separate publications.
I thought you knew.
- Knew what?
- Rebekah edits The Sun now.
A guy called Andy Coulson
took over at News of the World.
Fuck.
Do you really think this is a good idea?
Yeah, I know these guys.
If we play them right,
they can be powerful allies.
Powerful allies.
And right now we need The Sun.
Look, I'll level with you, here.
I wanted to take this to another paper,
but John Yates swears by you.
Yeah, I've known John for years.
Why did you want to go elsewhere?
Don't like your editor. Plus,
I've got concerns
over one of your colleagues.
- Alex Marunchak.
- Oh. Yeah, him.
I know he denies it.
But I think it was him who sent his dogs
after me and my family a few years back.
He was trying to obstruct a
criminal investigation.
I took it to Rebekah. She did nothing.
I mean, obviously,
I can't speak as to what Alex
may or may not have done,
but he's not really my colleague.
I mean, I have nothing to do
with News of the World.
I mean, I think he's at their
Ireland desk, if I'm not mistaken.
- And what about Rebekah?
- Well, um,
you'd just be dealing with me
on this one.
I mean, look, if you're going
to trust me, DCS Cook,
you're going to have to give me
an opportunity
- to earn that trust.
- That's one of my lines.
Tell me what I can do for you.
Oh, come on, Kim. What does it say?
Scotland Yard established a covert unit
to investigate
a private detective's murder.
Rumoured to have been committed
with the help of corrupt officers
from the Metropolitan Police.
Senior lead investigator, DCS David Cook
said, "We will ensure the killers
face the full force of the law."
Cook.
That's the same fella as before, yeah?
Yeah, that's right.
Have you seen the article?
Trish reckons Wardy's gone and grassed.
It's a joke, mate. This Dan
Morgan thing's come up again.
Sending people letters this time.
Police want me to inform. Fucking cheek.
The article's done nothing.
We wanted Sharon to visit Garry.
We wanted Jimmy Cook to call Glenn.
They're not doing
what they're supposed to be doing.
- Give it time.
- It's just pointless chat.
- We can't use any of it.
- Look, if nothing bites,
- we ripple the pond again.
- Rees.
He's quiet.
You think he knows we're listening?
Well, he's a canny fucker
and a paranoid one at that.
No plan survives
first contact with the enemy.
We did a half page story
for The Sunday Mirror
and got £550.
News of the World would have paid £1500.
No one pays like News of the World.
- Hello.
- Dave, it's Mike at The Sun.
He said his name is Gary Eaton.
- And he called the news desk?
- He'd seen the article.
Said he worked in the drugs trade
with Jimmy Cook for years.
Mmm, I wrote a letter to Jimmy Cook
asking him to inform, as a trigger.
Well, it seems he's going around town
firing warning shots.
Eaton said that Cook paid a visit
to his girlfriend,
scared the shit out of her.
He was sending
a message to Eaton. We know where
she lives, kind of thing,
but doesn't seem to have
had the desired effect.
- Just pissed him off.
- Think he's genuine?
Could be a plant.
I could smell his fear down the phone.
I can't have direct contact
with a potential witness,
- but I'll send one of my team over.
- No, he saw your name on the article.
Said he'll only speak to you.
Something about everyone
at the Met being bent.
Mmm.
I left it on the fucking table 'cause
I wanted you to fucking take it.
Yep. That'll be them.
- That's just not fair.
- You open up, please, mate?
Let me take that.
- Hi, Gary.
- Dave, yeah?
- So, how was the journey?
- Knackering.
I'm knackered. I've not been sleeping.
How long are you putting me up for?
Well, that's kind of up to you.
So why aren't you sleeping?
- Because I'm worried, ain't I?
- About what?
Them coming after me.
JC is a dangerous man.
Everyone's shit scared of Jimmy Cook.
He lives off fear, that bloke.
He knows I know about Sid. He knows
I know about virtually everything.
Well, we do have ways to protect you.
Yeah, right.
Look, I can understand
if you don't trust us.
But to be honest,
I'm not sure I entirely
trust you just yet either.
See, Gary, I'm just trying to figure out
what it is you've actually got.
And how valuable that is to us.
I can give you Sid
and I can give you Jimmy. Okay?
But I need guarantees.
Because the thing is, right,
the people that are involved in this,
you have to have them as well.
Because if they don't all go
- Give me the name of the brothers.
- If they don't all go,
then I'm at risk all the time.
Gary, give me the name of the brothers.
What, you want the main person
of the brothers?
- Yeah.
- We've just been talking about it.
- It's Jimmy.
- No, the other one that was there.
I don't know, man. I don't know
any of them. I just know about Jimmy.
Jimmy was there. Okay.
I know who was involved.
Look, Jimmy had massive involvement
in this, yeah? Massive involvement.
- You can dance all day, mate.
- I'm not dancing, Dave.
I will help you. I will help you,
but I'm just wary.
That's all. I'm just being careful.
Okay, I understand.
I was approached to do it myself.
The murder.
- Okay, tell us about the approach.
- I was approached by Jimmy.
- How much did they offer?
- Fifty grand.
- And it is a
- Fifty grand cash.
I swear on my life.
I swear on my kids' lives.
Why did they kill him?
The impression I got was that
he got wind of the others' dealings.
'Cos if anything, John Rees
had all sorts of other things
going on in the partnership, yeah.
- I wanna have a shower.
- No, no, no. This is good.
Tell me about Rees's involvement in this.
What, John? He didn't have any
involvement in the actual murder.
I'm not saying he was involved in
the murder, but did he play a part?
Did he Did he put it up?
Did he cover it up?
Yeah, he's aware of it. Yeah. Yeah.
He had involvement in that side of
things. I'm 99 percent sure of that.
- Right, that's it for today, boys.
- Er One last question.
Just one.
Why didn't you kill Daniel Morgan?
Why didn't you take the job?
Because I met him a few times
and he seemed like a nice bloke.
- He just walked in off the street.
- Well, I know it's suspicious.
But nothing, he said,
undermines Ward's evidence.
I don't think he has any idea
who Ward is.
He's given us lots on Jimmy Cook,
a bit on Fillery,
nothing on the Vian brothers.
I don't know whether
that's deliberate. And motive?
He reckons that Morgan was onto some
dodgy dealings between
- Rees and Fillery at Southern.
- Well, coming in and confessing
to crimes which could see him
locked up for some time
- is certainly unusual.
- It could work in favour
- of his credibility.
- Either way, it's expensive.
Ward's costing us 90 grand a month,
and he's already banged up.
See, I think that Gary Eaton
could be our golden goose.
Right, well, let me talk to some people.
- How long do you need?
- Could be a few weeks.
Right.
Right, it's not exactly protocol,
but until we get
the green light from upstairs,
Gary Eaton belongs to no one.
He's a free man. He can do what he likes.
He can walk anytime.
He can talk and he will talk.
And the people he's grassing
could find him, silence him or worse.
We cannot let that happen.
So for three weeks,
until the debrief team takes over,
we are all on babysitting duty.
- Hello?
- Dave, it's Gary.
- Oh, hi, Gary.
- Right. We need another 20 quid.
Julie's been on the scratch cards, yeah?
We pay his hotel.
We go to Tesco. We buy his fags.
We charge his phone.
We even wipe his fucking arse,
if we have to.
- All of this?
- Yep.
- Hello?
- Dave, it's Gary.
Julie thinks that the woman at the
front desk is being funny with us.
- Can you have a word?
- With Julie?
No, with the woman
at the fucking front desk, mate.
We do not let him out of our sight.
- All right?
- Dave, it's Gary.
Look, there's something wrong
with the telly.
- What's the matter with the telly?
- I couldn't get Channel 4.
We cannot afford to lose this witness.
We cannot, and we fucking will not
lose Gary Eaton.
Is that understood?
It's early days with this new witness.
He had to establish whether he can
stand up as a witness of truth.
Understood. Completely. And thank you.
For letting me into your, erm
Into the inner sanctum?
You're more than welcome, Alastair.
It's the least we can do.
I remember when I got the call.
Mum rang and she said,
"Your brother's dead."
I couldn't take it in.
Every time I went back to the pub,
I still can't take it in.
It was a dangerous line of work.
He did a lot of debt collecting in
the early days, that sort of thing.
He was actually very brave.
- He stood his ground, you know.
- I'm sure he did.
I'm sure he was brave.
What's going on with Rees?
To be honest, we're not hearing
very much,
but, erm, well,
likely up to his old tricks.
Can I share something with you?
I'm worried that
Jonathan Rees is, um, well
I think he may have discovered
some new tricks.
It's a bug, called a Trojan.
Alastair Morgan found one in his laptop.
He's concerned that Jonathan Rees
or one of his minions
might be behind it,
email hacking, basically.
So I've put in some antivirus software.
That should take care of it.
Listen, I need yours.
Need your laptop, honey.
If you think that we're being hacked,
we call witness protection.
It's safer if I just handle it.
You see, what I don't understand
is whether there's support
and you just won't take it
or whether they're just handing you
another poisonous chalice
and running a mile.
Look, it could be nothing.
Bugs can come from anywhere.
It could be something, though,
couldn't it? It could be something
extremely serious. We could be under
surveillance again.
Or it could just be a coincidence.
- That's the thing about coincidences.
- No, I said, I won't do this again.
- Hello?
- Dave?
- Dave, I'm in a bad way, mate.
- Oh, hi, Gary.
- Julie's gone off on one.
- Listen Gary, I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to put you on hold,
okay? Wait a second.
No, please, Dave, please.
- Go ahead.
- Sir.
There's been an incident with Gary Eaton.
We've had to intervene
to relocate the girlfriend.
- What happened?
- She wants to end the relationship.
- She claims to be frightened of him.
- Was there violence?
No. But in the short time I was with her,
she received over 20 phone calls
and a number of abusive texts.
- Okay, thanks for letting me know.
- Sir.
Gary, you still there?
All right, listen, calm down.
Calm down. Just take it easy.
Gary Eaton has been
phoning you on your mobile?
Yes. Regularly.
- What does that mean?
- Sometimes daily.
- And this has been going on for?
- Some time.
It was small stuff.
I thought I could handle it.
And you're telling me
about this now, because?
It's of concern at this point.
It's potentially
- Concerning?
- Yes.
You ever play golf, Dave?
- Never.
- Well, you should.
Does wonders for perspective.
All right. This will
come out and there are
going to be questions.
Questions as to what an officer
of your rank is doing,
taking direct phone calls
from a protected witness.
Questions as to why, when you have
so much under your remit,
you would concern yourself
so personally with such a detail.
And why you, of all people,
would choose a course of action
that could severely compromise
this entire invest
- Why is he calling you?
- Cos I'm the only person he trusts.
Look, I know you like to think
of yourself
as some kind of maverick,
and you do things your own way.
He hates his debrief team
he's extremely vulnerable. He's unwell.
I believe him to be
a genuine suicide risk.
If I don't pick up and something
happens or he does something stupid,
I cannot
I got him into this situation, John.
I cannot have Gary Eaton
on my conscience.
Well, witness protection wanna drop him.
No, no. He's handed over 70 grand.
Admitted to crimes that could see him
go down for 20 years.
I know he's hard work,
but I believe he's valuable.
Look,
I appreciate the complexity
of the situation,
but you cannot be taking phone calls
from a protected witness.
From today, you will have no further
contact with Gary Eaton, whatsoever.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
And I'm serious about the golf.
I'll look into it.
I found a bug.
It's the fucking old bill,
they're trying to listen to us.
He reckons the fellas next door
are coppers from Hendon.
What if he goes in
and bashes the door down?
- It's expensive kit.
- No, it's well hidden.
Thought no plan survives
first contact with the enemy?
Is now a good or a bad time
for more bad news?
- Good, I think.
- A journalist called.
Said a hack from another paper tried
to sell him a story.
- About you and your wife.
- Oh, Jesus.
And did he mention
if the hack had a name?
Yes, it's Alex Marunchak.
- Right.
- Okay.
I'll leave it with you.
I mean, it's not even a story.
Jacqui registered a business interest
with the Met. My name is
on the paperwork. That's it.
All completely above board.
I don't understand how this is a story.
Which is why they didn't touch it.
Which is why
no one else in Fleet Street
will touch it. It'll go away.
Maybe so. But someone with access
to confidential police records
is talking to Marunchak.
Maybe one of my own team,
could be any one of my colleagues.
And they're talking directly to Rees.
- Have you reported it?
- To who?
I mean, if you think they're coming
after you personally,
you're going to need protection,
surely. There must be a system.
Mate, mate, listen, The last time
this happened, I went to my bosses.
You know what they said?
They said this is being dealt with
in the bigger picture.
I had a van following me
and my kids to school.
I had some fucker
in my garden with a camera.
- My wife thought it was a gun.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't know it was that bad.
I mean, who else knows about this?
Well, that's my point. Nobody knows.
Daniel Morgan's family.
Do they know what you went through?
- They've got enough on their plate.
- They would have been on the phone
to the commissioner,
the home secretary, everyone.
Yeah. And what good would that
have done? My higher ups
knew that you lot were trying to disrupt
a major criminal investigation,
and they did nothing.
They sat in their arses and watched
it happen. Hung me out to dry.
Since when did we become the targets?
How is this in any way
in the public interest?
I'm sorry, mate. I mean, I'm
I'm really sorry.
Right.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry I'm late.
Plate's in the oven.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, fine.
You sure?
Meeting overran.
That's it. Okay, so she's
a brave girl. Or a silly one.
You see, I thought
- that was really good.
- It's pish, innit?
David Seaman.
Wouldn't get a game for Kilmarnock.
- Hey, Gary.
- Dave, I can't do it.
- I just can't do it.
- Look, here's the thing.
You either need to sort yourself out and
- we crack on with this or we don't.
- Okay.
And you need to tell your team the truth.
Because we cannot go on like this.
We really can't.
All right, there's something
you need to know.
I was there.
- You were where, Gary?
- I was at the Golden Lion,
the night Daniel Morgan was killed.
I was in the car park.
They invited me to have a drink
that night, didn't know why.
I thought it had something to do
with planning a theft.
- Who's "they", Gary?
- Jimmy Cook.
So you went to the Golden Lion,
that night?
Yeah, just sat by the door.
And I saw Daniel come in.
He was talking with John Rees.
And there was some woman
- with them as well.
- Who was she?
I don't know. I'd never seen her before.
And this bloke.
He taps me on the shoulder
and tells me he wants
to talk to me in the gents.
He was one of the brothers.
Scott, I think it was.
The other brother's called Glenn.
Can't remember.
So he told me to go
to the gents, and, erm,
and then we went out back, cos he said
Jimmy wanted to have a word
with me in the car park.
And we went out to the car park
and I saw Daniel lying there.
And the axe was still
It was still in his head.
And Glenn was with Jimmy in the car.
And they drove off.
And Jimmy winked at me as they drove off.
He fucking winked at me.
The only thing I don't understand
is if you're going to murder someone,
why bring along a witness?
Why did they bring Eaton
into the pub that night?
Were they trying to implicate him?
Well, he already knew about
the murder because they originally
asked him to do it.
So if you can be traced to the scene,
you're not going to go around
shooting your mouth off, are you?
- Hmm.
- It was a warning,
- a strategy to buy his silence.
- A risky strategy.
So what else you got?
Two men, sitting by the door. Here.
And no one at the time could ID him.
- And that's where Eaton says he was.
- That's exactly where he says he was.
Before Scott, who we have to assume
was Garry Vian, took him
to the gents' toilets and then outside.
- Fits.
- It does.
- It does fit.
- So, do we believe him?
It doesn't matter
whether we believe him, Graham.
What matters is, can we make it stick?
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
- You look really nice.
- So do you.
Well, thank you.
- We should do this more often.
- We should get some drinks.
- You okay?
- I'm fine. I'm just tired.
- Yeah, you keep saying that.
- Because I am.
We reduced your hours. I was hoping
that might make a difference.
Look, I'm really trying to find
a way out of this, Jacqui.
- For everyone.
- You're trying?
I'm trying to help you.
I'm trying to solve the case.
You're trying to help me?
You make out like you're
doing everything, but I'm around.
I try to be around.
Even when you're with us,
you're not with us, David.
You're distant with the kids.
You're tense all the time.
I feel like I'm walking on egg shells.
I'm really sorry.
I'm just tired, you know?
I'm not sleeping properly.
I keep getting these dizzy spells.
Because I'm tired, I think.
I don't feel safe.
Little things are just setting me off,
and I'm doing everything I possibly can.
But I just feel like I'm going backwards.
It was never meant to be like this.
I really am sorry. Truly sorry.
Thank you.
You know, we are in a situation
where it's like
It's like we're drowning.
And when you're drowning, you need to
get out of the water, right?
Right.
But we can't get out of the water.
So we just have to find a way
to get used to it.
Is that your solution,
to get used to the water?
I don't know what else you want me
to say.
- Guv?
- Yep.
- Can I have a word?
- Yes.
Gary's given us a new witness.
- And who's that?
- She's called Lindsey Wright.
An ex of Jimmy Cook.
Gary said she might talk.
This is all off the record, yeah?
I mean, I'm not being recorded or
Yes, Lindsey. Off the record.
And you can't say who gave you my name?
I protected the witness, and we
can't give you any further details.
Told us that you used to go out
with Jimmy Cook.
Said you might know something
about Daniel Morgan?
Jimmy and I saw each other
for about eight years.
It weren't up to much.
He never took me places.
He only saw me when it suited him.
I don't know much about Morgan.
Jimmy did say some stuff, though.
Anything you remember would be great.
Well, the guy who did it was a nutter.
Big bloke from Croydon.
Might have worked the doors
of clubs, sometimes. Er
- Can't remember his name.
- Could his name been Garry or Glenn?
Yeah, Glenn. It was Glenn.
And the murder was about a woman
and John Rees
had a go at Daniel in the car park
before he was killed.
I think it was him
that took him out into the car park.
But that's all I really remember.
How would you feel, Lindsey,
about coming into the station
and making a statement?
Oh, no. No, I can't do that.
We all know what Jimmy's capable of.
If we can find a way to keep you safe.
You said I didn't have to.
It was off the record.
You don't have to do anything
you don't want to do.
How about we, erm, give you a call,
- come back later
- No, no.
Don't call me and don't come back.
The thing is, it's my memory.
It's my antidepressants,
they mess with my head.
I can't be sure of anything I just said.
Nah, it's all a mess, if I'm honest.
The only thing I can say for sure,
is that Jimmy Cook
definitely didn't do it.
- I'm sorry, Guv.
- Aye.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow ♪
And everyone you meet
Oh-ho, the mistletoe
Is hung where you can see ♪
All very encouraging,
particularly the correlation
between Ward and Eaton.
Just tell me what the CPS want.
Well, the call log for
Gary Eaton's incomplete.
I'll get that to you.
And what about this potential
new witness,
er, Cook's ex, Lindsey Wright?
Well, the story's golden, but we
haven't managed to pin her down yet.
She'd make a difference. Is she pinnable?
Yeah, she's pinnable.
Police!
Whatever they think was happening
with the credit cards,
it's got nothing to do with me.
I ain't done nothing. Can you tell 'em?
Look, all we know is that Surrey
police are considering charging
you and your boyfriend
with conspiracy to defraud.
Now, we don't know what that's based on.
But they don't go raiding
people's homes for nothing, Lindsey.
So what we do know is, if you decide
to come in and help us,
you could end up in a lot less trouble.
You did this on purpose.
Sorry, but this is an entirely
separate division, Lindsey.
- This wasn't us.
- We're just here to
offer you a way out. That's all.
We'll give you a call later,
while you consider your choices.
It doesn't look like I've got
a sodding choice, though, does it?
Come on. I'll take you back in.
Come on.
What's going on?
Where are the kids?
They're with friends.
I'm going away for a bit
and they're coming with me.
Away where?
I can't.
I can't do this anymore,
- just can't be here now.
- I don't understand.
How can you not understand?
No No, you can't.
You need to talk to me.
We need to talk about this.
I've talked and I've talked
and I've talked and I've
There's just nothing else to say.
You're not taking those kids
anywhere without my permission.
Please don't fight me.
Please don't. I don't want to fight you.
So when are you coming back?
You'll see the kids. I promise I will
make sure that you see the kids.
And I'm truly sorry.
I've just spoken to the CPS.
We can charge Rees, Cook,
and the Vians for the murder
of Daniel Morgan, and Fillery
for perverting the course of justice.
We're over the line.
We're over the bloody line.
- Congratulations, Dave.
- Thank you.
The most investigated murder
in the history of
the Metropolitan Police Service.
We cracked Daniel Morgan.
I'll go and tell the Morgans.
