Detective Chief Superintendent
Dave Cook?

That's right. How can I help?

My name is
Detective Sergeant Slater.

I'm here to arrest you, Sir.

CHATTER

What's the charge?

Misconduct in public office

and offences contrary to section 55

of the Data Protection Act 1998,
Sir.

Misconduct?

What, you're gonna deny acting
contrary to the Data Protection Act?

What?

Go, get yourselves in.

Excuse me.
Wh-What is this?

You don't deny acting contrary
to the Data Protection Act, Sir?

Give me my caution.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention,

when questioned, something
which you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Is that your car?
Yes, Sir.

I'm not a fucking flight risk.

No, Sir.

Go.

RADIO CHATTER
This car, Sir.

Have somebody get that open.
Right, Sir.

BREATHING HEAVILY

CLOCK TICKING

I'm guessing you're wondering
why you've been asked to meet, Sir.

Of course.

We're trying to do
something a bit different

with the Daniel Morgan case.

Daniel Morgan.

Axe murder, 1985.

Well, it's 1987,
but, erm, well remembered.

Not one you're likely to forget.

Mess of a first investigation.

Allegations of corruption.

Reopening this one?
Doesn't seem wise.

Oh, it's unwise, I'm sure,
but we've got some new leads,

and the plan is,
we're not gonna fuck it up again.

We wanna do a covert operation
and an overt one.

The covert one, no-one
will know about but a select few.

Bugs, mainly.
Surveillance of all kinds.

The overt one...
You want me to do.

We want you to go on Crimewatch.

Purport to be
the investigating officer,

the homicide detective in charge.

That's why we need
somebody of your rank.

And then there's the connection
with Jacqui.

DAVE SCOFFS
Bit of fun for the viewers.

It should just be a short op.

Form a small team to front up
the investigation in public

while we'll be working
in the background.

And you're hoping
once I open my big mouth,

it'll make your leads open theirs.

Well, let's just say we have
our suspicions as to who's involved,

we just gotta get them
saying they did it.

I'm in. Fill me in again.

Great.
Great.

On the 10th of March, 1987,
Morgan was attacked...

VOICE DISTORTS:
..in the rear car park

of the Golden Lion in Sydenham...

I need a team of eight.

Two DSs, six DCs,

heavy on the female officers.

Less likely to be Lodge.

OK.

And no-one, none of the team
can know about the covert op.

As far as they're concerned,

this is the only case team,
all right?

TAPS PEN
Got it, Guv.

'On the 10th of March, 1987,

'Daniel Morgan,
private investigator,

'was murdered in the rear car park
of the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham.

'He was struck
several times with an axe.'

Now, there's been 15 years
of investigation into his killing,

three previous operations,

and as yet,
no-one has been nailed for it.

We have some key individuals

we're looking to
particularly focus upon.

Number one, Jonathan Rees.

Now, he was Daniel Morgan's
business partner in a firm

called Southern Investigations.

The 2000 Murder Review report
into Daniel's death

stated that both the Met
and the Hampshire investigations

identified Rees as a prime suspect.

He's currently serving seven years

for conspiracy
to pervert the course of justice.

He had drugs planted
on an innocent woman.

Her ex wanted custody of their son.

Number two, and this is
one of our own, I'm afraid,

Sid Fillery, Catford Crime Squad.

He was brought in to assist
with the initial investigation,

despite being friends with Rees.

Now, he subsequently left the force,

and he took over Daniel's old job
running Southern Investigations.

Number three, Glenn Vian.

Really?

Well, we're hearing the Vian
brothers are likely involved.

In fact, Glenn Vian was
Jonathan Rees's ex-brother-in-law.

We believe Glenn
may have wielded the axe,

but the involvement of Garry Vian,

number four,
can't be discounted either.

Number five, James Cook, or Jimmy.

We're hearing
he drove the getaway vehicle.

And that number six, Keith Sharpe,

stored it.

Now, I have command to look after,

so I'm gonna be in and out.

But we're working towards
me making an appearance

on Crimewatch in a couple of weeks.

ALL CHUCKLE
Nice, Guv.

Yes, yes, yes.

On which I'll be looking for
more information.

Now, I want you
to build these names out.

I want to know every connection,
every motive.

And we build this chain well enough,

we'll be able
to strangle them with it.

That understood?
ALL: Yes, Guv.

All right, go ahead.

CRIMEWATCH THEME PLAYING

Crimewatch is remarkably successful
with cold cases,

inquiries which have
avoided detection for years -

or, in this case, decades.

In fact, this one goes back to 1987,

but it was highly controversial
from the start,

as our VT shows.

ON MONITOR: 'Daniel Morgan
had worked for years

'as a private investigator,

'and according to
those who knew him,

'he was dedicated to his job.'

'You know why we're here.'

'Aside from work,
he had a love for fast cars

'and was a devoted father
to his two young children.

'On Tuesday, 10th of March,
the day of his murder,

'Daniel and his business partner,
Jonathan Rees,

'allegedly arranged
to meet a contact that evening

'in the Golden Lion pub
in Sydenham.'

'I'm off now, John.
I'll see you in the pub about 7:30.'

'Yep. See you later.'

'The man they were supposed to meet
didn't turn up,

'and the two of them drank alone.

'John Rees told the police
he left to go to his car

'at the front of the pub
at about 9pm.

'He assumed Daniel
was heading for the rear car park.

'But did Daniel go out the back way
into the car park?

'And did he go with someone?

'Or did he meet his killer
in the dark?

'Lying next to Daniel's body
were the two packets of crisps...

'which police think
were for his children.'

WOMAN: Back to studio. Three, two...

'If you were there that night,
call us now.'

Detective Chief Superintendent
Dave Cook,

the reason this case
has been so controversial

from almost the start is that
one of the investigating officers,

one of the detectives involved
in the early part of this inquiry,

finished up
running Daniel's agency.

'I mean, fishy or what?'

We acknowledge
there were some difficulties

in the early stages
of this investigation,

but I'm here tonight
to reinvestigate the case,

and we hope, through this appeal,

to find the nugget of information
which will help solve it.

So, how can people help?

The Metropolitan Police
have a reward of up to £50,000.

Five zero? 50,000?

'Fifty.

'For any person
who can give me information

'which leads to the arrest
and charge of those responsible.'

And it was an extraordinary,
cold-blooded killing.

He was killed with an axe
to the... to his head.

It was left embedded in his head.

Even at this remove,

are people going to be worried,
do you think, about coming forward?

People always have concerns.

'But I would like
to make it quite clear

'that they can call us in
confidence, in complete confidence.'

And we will treat any information
they give in that way.

So, you can call here in the studio,

or, if you prefer,
direct to the incident room

on 0808-157-0555.

Fiona.

to see you at work.

People really respect you,

It's June, but Vian's boiler's
been firing all night.

He must be living
in a fucking sauna.

Anyway, boiler's
drowning everything out.

You put the bug behind the boiler?

Plumbers were all we could get in.

You didn't need to put it
behind the fucking boiler.

Behind the fridge. Behind anywhere.

What about the others?

Sid Fillery's not been in his car,
so the bug hasn't yielded.

Keith Sharpe is in Spain.

All we've got is Cook's car,
and he's not said anything useful.

So, what's plan B?

Are you kidding?

This is plan F3.

We've been through the alphabet
twice over on Morgan.

Anything on the Crimewatch calls?
Nah, nothing.

Look, there is one other thing.

We caught one conversation,
not on the bugs,

on an intercept we can't use,

between Fillery
and, erm, an Alex Marunchak.

Fillery says
he wants to "sort you out".

Me?
Yeah.

And who is this Marunchak?

A News Of The World flunky.
He's a no-one.

Why would Fillery
be talking to him about me?

Southern Investigations
occasionally do business

with the News Of The World via him.

It means nothing, but I want...

Yeah, I had to flag it.

You gonna let Jacqui know?

Because if so,
then we're gonna have to get her

to sign some sort of
information release.

Jesus Christ. You don't need to
tell her, in my...

Jacqui's an officer in the Met.
I mean, you do know...

All the same, all the same.

It's fine, Dave.

These guys talk big, you know that.

John, we're mid-investigation

as to whether "these guys"
murdered someone with an axe.

Let me know
when you've got something.

The fallout from this
isn't over yet.

You've made a huge difference.

GIRL: Mm-hm.
Mum, who's the better swimmer?

JACQUI: Well, I think both of you
are pretty good now, actually.

That's what all parents say.

JACQUI LAUGHS

Yeah, OK, OK.

David?

Oh, Dave, please tell me
you've put the spaghetti on.

Sorry.

How was the swimming, kids?

Good.
Good.

Good.
I don't mind, I don't mind.

It just means that they're gonna be
a little bit late for bed now.

I know. I really am sorry.
You owe me.

I know.
Again.

Yeah, I owe you everything.

Yep.

'Sir, it's DI Bruce Gregston,
Surrey CID.'

Hey, Bruce.

'Hi. Look, we just wanted
to let you know

'that we've flagged a strange call
that's come in to the station.'

Hold on.

Who was the fastest swimmer?

You?
Dad!

Go ahead.

'Yeah, it was from someone
claiming to be Inland Revenue,

'offering you a tax rebate.

'They were asking for your address.'

And was the address given?

'No. And they've not left
any details, either.

'Sir?'
Thanks for letting me know, Bruce.

We've had a covert camera in place
since Jill was killed.

Back and front?

Just front.

Alarm to the local police station?
No.

We'll get that put in.

What about putting a car
outside the house?

HE EXHALES

That's... some cost.

Cheaper than relocating us.

I'll run it up the flagpole, but...

it's unlikely.

You know, Jacqui was, erm...

Jill Dando, her co-presenter
in Crimewatch...

I know who Jill Dan...

Yeah, well, Jacqui was damaged
by it all quite badly,

and she's... she's not...

This won't sit easy with her.
I'll do all I can.

Let me get this straight here.

You've got four bugs

currently operating
in this case, yes?

Each one needs two officers 24/7

in three shifts.

That's six officers
for each listening post.

Then there's the surveillance teams.

Let's say... 12 officers
keeping an eye on the subject.

That's 18 officers per bug,
times four.

That's, what...

70, 72, that the DPS are paying for.

And you're saying you cannot spare
an officer and a car for me?

You have our full attention.

Dave, we take threats to officers
extremely seriously.

Who do we stir the pot with first?

Keith Sharpe was out of the country
when Crimewatch went out.

We could pull him in.
No, no, no. He'll give us nothing.

Pay him a visit anyway.
You know, better still...

pay him a visit when he's not there.

But you called this meeting.

Can you do me a favour?

Can you find out about

What do you want with Alex?

How do you know him?

Hm. They call him, er, him and...

Greg Miskiw, the Rottweilers.

Ach, no reason.

Why do I think
you're concealing a story?

This is NOT a story.

All right.

How's Jacqui?

Much the same.

What does that mean?

You know, we had a...

When I was training,

we had a murder,
and I helped transport the body.

The constable I was with said to me,

"Now, remember, in these situations,
you are Sergeant Diligaf."

I said,
"What are you talking about?"

He said, "Sergeant Do I Look Like
I Give A Fuck?"

NICK CHUCKLES

Never been able to manage that.

You see, I like being a detective.

Is Jacqui OK? Is it Dando again?

No, no, no.

What do you want with Marunchak?
No, nothing. Listen, I'm sorry.

This was a bad idea.
Really?

Sir?
Hello, Hari.

Guv, do you mind if I...

Yeah, sure.

So, er, Lockhart...

He's stepping back.

What?

Yes, family illness. It's serious.

Right.

I know we haven't got enough.

No-one's put themselves
on the scene, no-one's...

admitted anything.

Well, they're careful
with what they say.

Even when they don't know
we're listening.

Yeah, but they're pissed off.

We're pissing them off.
You can see that.

Look, you can either kill it, Sir,
or make it happen.

I'm here because I think
we're damn close.

I think you should
take command, Sir.

Both operations,
the overt and the covert.

OK.

Let's arrest Sharpe.

Take him to Croydon.

They've got good links at Croydon,
right? They do, yeah.

Well, let's make it
as public as we possibly can.

Yes.

Turn the screw
on the lot of them, eh?

I'm with you, Sergeant.

Thank you, Sir.

KEITH: That was out of order.

You know that? All that fuss?

You better have something good.

What we're looking for is evidence
on the murder of Daniel Morgan.

Oh, fucking knew it.

What we're especially
looking to find

is the car that was used that night.

So, who else was at the scene?

All I done is heard
the same things you heard.

Should never have taken the motor.
Jimmy's a cunt.

Do you know where they acquired
the murder weapon?

Yeah, they photocopied the receipt
and gave it me for interest (!)

Course I don't.

Jimmy did tell me...

Jimmy did say...

He said Daniel gurgled...

..with the axe in his head.

So Jimmy confirmed to you
he was at the scene?

I can't tell you any more than that.
That's all he told me.

"Daniel gurgled
with the axe in his head."

Shit Jimmy up, that.

That's all.

Look, y-you... you get them, not me.

Me, I-I'm out of this, yeah?

You should be out of this too,
as well, love.

No telling what could happen
to that pretty face.

Wind it in, Keith.

We are in the middle of, er,

reinvestigating
Daniel Morgan's murder.

Well, Daniel was before my time
at Southern.

No, I understand that.
This is a different matter.

Well, it was a messy place.

I never realised how messy.

If I'd known about Daniel...

Well, as part of Daniel's
investigation, we've, erm...

No, I've come into contact
with News Of The World.

You have?

What have they been
doing to you, love?

Well, as someone who worked
for Southern Investigations,

I hoped you might help
explain the relationship

between Southern and Alex Marunchak.

Erm...

SHE SIGHS

When you work in that office...

..you get good.

I've always felt more of an affinity
with your business, really.

I mean, I wish I'd
joined the police.

Never too late.
CYNTHIA CHUCKLES

You think you'd pass
the physical now?

Alex Marunchak. Erm...

Well...

A nervy, horrible man.

Big, but...

..he seemed little.

I heard we were always
bailing him out.

Bailing him out how?

Oh, his school fees,
credit card bills,

it all went across our desk.

Sid Fillery and Jonathan Rees
paid his school fees?

I heard Southern Investigations did.

Why?

Well, like Jonathan always said,

"There's no-one pays
like the News Of The World do."

And what were Southern paid for?

To dig for them.

In ways they can't always
dig for themselves.

Dig how?

Well, they're in
the secrets business.

Surveillance,
confidential information.

They've some helpful officers

that help with searching
your Police National Computer.

None of this is me, I hasten to say.

I just sorted the billing. But...

y-you know,
it was surprising amounts.

It was hundreds of thousands
of pounds.

I'm sorry, hundreds of thousands?

Sir, we've got something
on the Vian bug

that needs your attention.

We think it's a gun.

GLENN: 'Put the strap
over your shoulder.

'Just let it hold itself, yeah?'
MAN: 'Yeah, yeah.'

'Yeah. Now, what you gotta do
is put it up like that.'

'All right.'

'You're better off not firing it
like that, anyway.

'No, straight at him,

'but you wanna stand
to the side, yeah?'

We should send it to Forensics.
RECORDING STOPS

Yeah, but we know what it is.

Should still send it.

OK, once we confirm it,
we need full warrants.

We're gonna arrest the lot of them.

Sir, I'm not sure
we're ready for that. I know that.

But that sounds like
a pump-action shotgun to me,

so we don't have any choice.

We go in hard.

Armed response
across the board, OK?

Guv.

SIRENS WAILING

SIRENS APPROACH

What's this?

We have a search warrant
for these premises.

Yeah? On what fucking charge, eh?

Misconduct in a public office.

Put 'em in separate cars.

What, you taking me in as well?

Everyone.
Fuck's sake.

DESAI: 102-378 to 102-892.

Suspect four walking. Over.

OFFICER: 'Copy that. In position.'

DESAI: 'Suspect approaching.'

Armed police!

Fuck! Fuck!

ALL SHOUTING
All right! Fucking hell!

OFFICER 1: Put your head down!
OFFICER 2: Get down!

OFFICER 3: Armed police!
Stay where you are!

OFFICER: Get down!

SHOUTING

Turn around now! Turn!

DOG BARKING

SHOUTING CONTINUES

Stop moving! Stop fucking moving!

What are you, fucking nuts?!

OFFICER: Show us your hands!

BARKING

We're here to talk to you
about the murder of Daniel Morgan.

Daniel who?

I had nothing to do with that.

No way. Not at all.

Well, let's jog your memory.

Daniel Morgan was killed
by an axe to the back of the head.

The Golden Lion car park
in March 1987.

With an axe?

Fuck, no.
I had nothing to do with it.

An alibi?

I cooked an alibi? With who?

Not my style, son.

What's he saying, eh?

That we had him followed? Why?

Why would a Scotland Yard officer

in charge of
a major crime investigation

be turned off
because a couple of oiks in a van

were giving him a tail, eh?

Doesn't work, does it?

Does it?

No comment.
No comment.

No comment.
No comment.

ON TV:
'I think it's gonna be all right.'

'Great.'

Hey, kids.
BOTH: Hey.

'What a day. You know, I had...'

Where's Mum?
Don't know.

HE SETS KEYS DOWN

Jacqui?
I'm fine.

Should I phone the doctor?
I said I'm fine.

HE SIGHS,
PHONE RINGS

Wait.

GRAHAM: 'Guv?'

Go ahead.

'Child pornography
found on Fillery's computer.'

What?

They're saying
it's a significant amount.

And what about the gun?

'Not found, Sir.'

Not at either Vian's residence?

'No, Sir.'

Fuck. But we heard it.

Yeah.

'Any other evidence?'

Nothing substantial, Sir.

OK. Thanks.

I think it's totally right
you've asked for this meeting.

Thank you.

The only thing I'd advise is,
when in these conversations,

is do be aware of the power
and the impact of the media.

Of News International?
Exactly.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Rebekah is very charming.

Gents. Why don't you head up?

We'll bring her in.

Right. Shall we?

BELL DINGS

REBEKAH: ..she said that "I would
expect him to be there eventually."

David.
Rebekah.

Thanks for meeting me.
It's an honour.

Dick tells me you've got
quite the clean-up record?

Well, I wouldn't say that.

The British public
need people like you.

I'm not afraid to look old-fashioned
saying so.

You're a powerful advocate.
We appreciate it.

SHE EXHALES

How can I help?

It's a concern I have
over one of your team,

and I thought it
worth raising with you.

Who is it you're concerned about?

Alex Marunchak
has what I would describe

as an uneasy relationship
with a team you worked with

called Southern Investigations.

They work for me?
Not exactly...

Their work
is heavily subsidised by you.

They're independent contractors.

Well, then, they don't work for me,
do they?

Not to be pedantic about it,
but I work in news.

Stickler for the facts.

Well, we have active investigations
relating to them.

They have many criminal links,

and I would advise you
to cease all contracts with them.

Well, I will investigate.
Thank you for raising it.

Shall we?

This is a statement

from Cynthia Edmonds,
who worked at Southern.

She says she heard
that Alex Marunchak

had his children's school fees
paid for by them...

and his debts serviced.

Private matters.

Private matters that, in my opinion,

have led to
a distorted relationship.

They've led to questions
about who wags the dog here,

you or them.

Probably worth saying again,
it's not me involved in this,

so I suggest your accusatory "you"

be replaced by something more...

SHE INHALES

..general.

Four months ago,

when I was investigating
Southern Investigations,

Alex Marunchak
was asked to support them

in explicitly coming after me.

Your budget was spent
harassing me in every way,

leading to problems for my family.

They followed me and my children
to school.

I wasn't aware of this,

but it is my understanding
that any attention you received,

and I apologise
if it was ever overzealous,

had little to do with you.

Rather, it was about your partner,
Jacqui Hames,

and her close association
with the Jill Dando case.

You can surely understand
our interest in her,

no matter how unsavoury
you might find it.

No, I-I think this went
way beyond "unsavoury".

And I do agree...
I have told you...

..that this wasn't about Jacqui.

..I will investigate

our relationship
with Southern Investigations.

And what about Alex Marunchak?

Well, Alex,
as Dick will tell you, I hope,

is a good reporter.

Any allegations
about his private life,

I believe should stay private.
I'm sorry. Are you...

I don't think you're seeing
the bigger picture here.

No, I do, I do see.
I promise I do.

I will look into our clearly uneasy
relationship with Southern.

I'm so grateful
you brought this to me,

and for all of your service.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

You know, Dick's quite right,

you are a remarkable police officer.

Let's head downstairs.
Wonderful.

LIFT RATTLING

AUTOMATED VOICE: 'Doors opening.'

CHATTER

You'll have to excuse me,
I have another appointment.

Once again...

Thank you for your service.

Never mind, Rebekah.

Happy?

Looking lovely, as always.
Oh...

She knows the Commissioner.

She knows everyone.

You come all this way,
and all you get's terrible coffee.

ROBERT CHUCKLES

I'm sure it's not as bad
as the filth at our place. Yeah.

How's things your end?

Well, if you haven't committed
an armed robbery

or a historic sex offence,
then God help you with the CPS.

Yours?

Well, murder's murder.
Lot of it about.

HE CHUCKLES

What you thinking, Robert?

We think that
there isn't sufficient evidence.

For any of them?

Well, the child pornography
found on Fillery's computer,

that we can charge on.

The Vians, even with the gun sounds,
it's insufficient evidence.

Rees?

Yeah, b-but surely... surely there's
enough for a conspiracy charge,

couple of years for each of them.

It's hearsay.

It's only hearsay
and guessing between the lines.

We've got them on tape
talking about the crime.

No, we don't. We've got them on tape
talking AROUND the crime.

You're right, that is terrible.

HE SIGHS
Come on, you...

you knew this wasn't enough.

So it's dead, right?

A dead duck.

I'm sorry.

I mean, we will review it
one last time, but...

..I'm sure of our answer.

The case is closed.

You know, I-I can't stop thinking
that the gun was very, er...

Well, the timing. Very convenient.

Kind of thinking that sends you mad.

But I understand the sentiment.

Surprising to have had a DCS
on this.

Leaning in, I mean.

Well, it's just...

It just bothered me, that's all.

Some cases get under our skin.

They do.

Thanks for the filthy coffee.

Yeah, my pleasure.
