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.

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.

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 murder.

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.
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 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 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'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

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... fuck.

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 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.'

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.
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.

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.'

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 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.

Mm.

I left it on the fucking table
cos I wanted you to fucking 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 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.

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 murder.

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 kill 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 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% sure of that.

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

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 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.

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 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.
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.

'We've had to intervene

'She wants to end the relationship.

'She claims

Was there violence?
'No.

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 fucking 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 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?

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.

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 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.

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 fucking winked at me.

The only thing I don't understand is
if you're gonna 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 gonna go around shooting
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 murder was about a woman,

and Jon 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?

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.

# Have a holly jolly Christmas

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 just yet.

She'd make a difference.
Is she pinnable?

Yeah, she's pinnable.

DOOR BANGS OPEN
Armed police! Armed police!

INDISTINCT YELLING,

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.

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,
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.

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 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.
