01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

We're trying to do
something a bit different

with the Daniel Morgan case.

Daniel Morgan, axe m*rder, 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.

Hey! 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.

OFFICERS SHOUT

We think that there isn't
sufficient evidence.

So, it's dead,
right? A dead duck.

You hit me with a...

is Dave. Leave a message.'

VOICEMAIL BEEPS 'Dave,
it's James Ward here.

'I know it's Christmas,
but I've been thinking.

JAMES BREATHES DEEPLY
'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.' LINE BEEPS

CLOCK TICKING ECHOES

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.

YATES CHUCKLES How was yours?

We had a lovely
Christmas, thank you.

CHUCKLES 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 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 m*rder.

Because of all the crisps that
Danny had bought for his kids

just before he left the pub.

OK, 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?

It's 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 any more.

You want this, this
is the process.

I don't want my
wife to die alone.

No, you don't.

BREATHES SHAKILY

OK, then.

I'll do it.

YATES: '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,
and I'm not doing it again.

I can't go back to that. Jacqui.

You don't know how
hard I've worked.

Please. You won't. You won't.

It'll be quick this time, clean.
Well, why does it have to be you?

Why? You're not irreplaceable, Dave.
Because nobody knows Morgan like me.

I know this case inside out.

You want it. No.

Yes, you do. I don't. f*ck,
it's the last thing I want.

Yates?

He doesn't trust
anyone else. No.

You don't trust anyone else.

How is it gonna work?

I commute five days
a week to Northolt.

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... FOOTSTEPS RECEDE

CAR DOOR SLAMS, RADIO CHATTER

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
m*rder*d 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 k*lled 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 them self.

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'll reinstate
the probes there.

We go over the old files.
All 200 crates of them.

OFFICERS GRUMBLE 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.

YATES: We need Mike
Sullivan at The Sun.

DAVE: I've got good contacts
at The Mirror and The Mail.

We don't need The Sun.

No, we need The Sun
and their readership.

John, we've been
actively investigating

the relationship between Jonathan
Rees and the News Of The World.

News Of The World and The Sun are
entirely separate publications.

DAVE SCOFFS 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 her. 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.

Oh... f*ck.

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.

GATE BEEPS

CHATTER, PHONES RING

'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, erm...

...you'd just be dealing
with me on this one.

I mean, look, if you're
gonna trust me, DCS Cook,

you're gonna have to give me an
opportunity to earn that trust.

That's one of my lines.

CHUCKLES Tell me what
I can do for you.

GLENN: 'Oh, come on,
Kim. What's it say?'

KIM: Scotland Yard
established a covert unit

to investigate a private
detective's m*rder.

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 K*llers
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.'

KEITH: 'It's a joke, mate. This
Dan Morgan thing's come up again.

'Sending people
letters this time.'

JIMMY: 'Police want me to
inform. f*cking 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 f*ck
and a paranoid one at that.

No plan survives first
contact with the enemy.

REES: 'We did half-page
story for The Sunday Mirror

'and got £550.

'News of the World
would have paid £1,500.

'No-one pays like
News Of The World.'

INDISTINCT CHATTER OVERLAPS

PHONE RINGS

Hello. 'Dave, it's
Mike at The Sun.'

He said his name's 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.

Mm. 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 sh*t 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.

Mm.

I left it on the f*cking table cos
I wanted you to f*cking take it.

ARGUING CONTINUES
Yep. That'll be them.

JULIE: 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?

Cos I'm worried,
ain't I? About what?

Them coming after me.
JC is a dangerous man.

Everyone's sh*t
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.

GARY SCOFFS 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.

Look, I can give you Sid,
and I can give you Jimmy. OK?

But I need guarantees.

Cos the thing is, right, the
people that are involved in this,

you have to have them as well
cos 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, no, the other
one that was there.

I don't know, man! I
don't know any of them.

OK? I just know about
Jimmy. Jimmy was there. OK.

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.

OK. I understand.

GARY BREATHES DEEPLY

I was approached
to do it myself.

The m*rder.

OK, tell us about that approach.
I was approached by Jimmy.

How much did they
offer? Fifty grand.

In '87? Fifty grand cash.

I swear it on my life, I
swear it on my kids' lives.

Why did they k*ll him?

The impression I got was that he
got wind of the others' dealings.

Cos Sid Fillery and Jon Rees,

they 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, Jon? He didn't have any
involvement in the actual m*rder.

I'm not saying he was involved in
the m*rder, 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% sure of that.

Right, that's it for today, boys.
Er... One last question, 'ey?

Just one.

Why didn't you k*ll 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
on to 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 any time. 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 baby-sitting
duty. PHONE RINGS

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 f*gs. We
charge his phone.

We even wipe his f*cking
arse, if we have to.

All of this? Yep.

PHONE RINGS

Hello? 'Dave, it's Gary.

'Julie thinks that the woman at the
front desk is being funny with us.

'Can you have a

'No, with the woman at the

We do not let him out of
our sight. PHONE RINGS

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 f*cking
will not lose Gary Eaton.

Is that understood? ALL AGREE

RADIO STATIC CRACKLES

DAVE: It's early days
with this new witness,

but we 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?

ALASTAIR CHUCKLES LIGHTLY

You're more than welcome,
Alastair. It's the least we can do.

ALASTAIR EXHALES

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,

likely up to his old tricks.

Can I share something with you?

I'm worried that Jonathan
Rees is, erm, 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
anti virus 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. SHE SCOFFS

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.

It could just be a coincidence.
That's the thing about coincidences.

No, I said I won't do
this again. PHONE RINGS

Hello? Dave?

'Dave, I'm in a bad way,
mate.' Oh, hi, Gary.

CRYING: 'Julie's gone
off on one.' PHONE BEEPS

Listen, Gary, I'm sorry. I'm
gonna have to put you on hold.

'Wait a second.' No,
please, Dave, please.

Go ahead. OFFICER: '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 a*usive texts.'

OK, thanks for letting
me know. 'Sir.'

PHONE BEEPS Gary,
you still there?

GARY SOBS All right,
listen, calm down.

Calm down. Just take it easy.

YATES: '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-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.

OK? Yeah.

And I'm serious about the golf.

I'll look into it.

GLENN: 'I found a bug.

'It's the f*cking old bill,
they're trying to listen to us.'

KIM: '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. OK.

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 gonna 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 f*ck in my
garden with a camera.

My wife thought it
was a g*n. 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?

Christ, no. They've got
enough on their plate.

They would've been on the
phone to the commissioner,

the Home Secretary, everyone. 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.

Sat on 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.

JACQUI: Hi. Hi.

Sorry I'm late.
Plate's in the oven.

Everything OK? Yeah, fine.

the judges make of that?'

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. 'OK.'

And you need to tell
your team the truth.

Because we cannot go on
like this, we really can't.

MAN ON TV: 'After the break,
tonight's last performance...'

'All right, there's
something you need to know.'

I was there.

DS TROFA: You were where,
Gary? I was at the Golden Lion.

The night Daniel
Morgan was k*lled.

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.

DS ROY: 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 Jon 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.

I can't remember.

So, he told me to go to
the gents, and, erm...

SNIFFS

...and then we went
out back cos he said...

Jimmy wanted to have a word
with me in the car park.

GARY SNIFFLES 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 f*cking winked at me.

The only thing I don't understand
is if you're gonna m*rder 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 m*rder

because they originally
asked him to do it.

So, if you can be
traced to the scene,

you're not gonna go around sh**ting
your mouth off, are you? Hm.

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 OK? 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 do
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're 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.

DS GANGRIDGE: Guv? Yep?

Can I have a word? Yes.

Gary's given us a new
witness. And who's that, then?

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 nothing?

Yes, Lindsey. Off the record.

And you can't say
who gave you my name?

I protected the witness,

and we really 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 have
been Garry or Glenn?

Yeah, Glenn. It was Glenn.

And the m*rder
was about a woman,

and Jon Rees had a go at Daniel in
the car park before he was k*lled.

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?

LINDSEY SCOFFS 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 wanna 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.

All very encouraging,

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 just yet.

She'd make a difference.
Is she pinnable?

Yeah, she's pinnable.

INDISTINCT YELLING, SCREAMING

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.

Surrey Police 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,
let 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. LINDSEY SIGHS

KEYS JANGLE 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 any more,
just can't be here now.

I-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,

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.

TEARFULLY: And I'm truly sorry.

DOOR OPENS

I've just spoken to the CPS.

We can charge Rees,
Cook, and the Vians

for the m*rder 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 m*rder

in the history of the
Metropolitan Police Service.

We cracked Daniel Morgan.

I'll go and tell the Morgans.
