We're trying to do something a bit different with

- the Daniel Morgan case. - DAVE: 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.

KEITH: The Vians are nasty. Jimmy's rank.

But Rees. Oh, he's clever.

DCI LOCKHART: We caught one conversation between Fillery

- and Alex Marunchak. - And who is this Marunchak?

News of the World flunky. He's a no one.

DAVE: They've been watching the house, Jacqui.

Hey! Come here!

BAKER: Do be aware of the power and the impact of the media.

- Of News International. - BAKER: Exactly.

Your budget was spent harassing me in every way,

leading to problems for my family.

(OFFICERS SHOUTING)

MORTIMER: We think that there isn't sufficient evidence.

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

JACQUI: Yes, look. You hit me with a...

- (MOBILE VIBRATING) - Hi, this is Dave. Leave a message.

- (BEEPS) - Dave, it's James Ward here.

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

(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. - (CALL ENDS, LINE BEEPING)

(CLOCK TICKING ECHOES)

- YATES: 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.

- (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. - DAVE: 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. - (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

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.

(BREATHES SHAKILY)

Okay, 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?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(RADIO STATIC CRACKLING)

(WATER RUNNING)

(GARGLING)

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.

- (DOOR SLAMS SHUT) - (RADIO CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

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.

ALASTAIR: 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.

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.

YATES: 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.

- (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 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.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

(GATE BEEPS)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

DAVE: 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.

(CHUCKLES) Tell me what I can do for you.

GLENN: Oh, come on, Kim. What does 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.

KIM: 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 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.

(INDISTINCT VOICES OVERLAPPING)

(PHONE RINGING)

- 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.

JULIE: That's just not fair. GARY: You open up, please, mate?

JULIE: Let me take that.

- Hi, Gary. - GARY: Dave, yeah?

DAVE: So, how was the journey? GARY: 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.

(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.

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.

(GARY BREATHES DEEPLY)

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.

DAVE: 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. - (MOBILE RINGING)

- Hello? - Dave, it's Gary.

- Oh, hi, Gary. - Right. We need another 20 quid.

Julie's been on the scratch cards, yeah?

DAVE: 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.

(MOBILE RINGING)

- 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. - (MOBILE RINGING)

- 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.

DAVE: We cannot afford to lose this witness.

We cannot, and we fucking will not lose Gary Eaton.

Is that understood?

(ALL AGREEING)

DAVE: 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? - (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, 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.

DAVE: 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. - (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.

Or it could just be a coincidence.

- That's the thing about coincidences. - No, I said, I won't do this again.

(MOBILE RINGING)

- Hello? - Dave?

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

- (CRYING) 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.

(SOBBING) 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 abusive texts.

- Okay, thanks for letting me know. - Sir.

Gary, you still there?

- (GARY SOBBING) - 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 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.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

GLENN ON PHONE: 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. - Okay.

I'll leave it with you.

DAVE: 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.

- JACQUI: Hi. - Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

JACQUI: Plate's in the oven.

- Everything okay? - Yeah, fine.

You sure?

Meeting overran.

(CROWD CHEERING ON TV)

- (MOBILE RINGING) - JACQUI: You see, I thought

- that was really good. - It's pish, innit?

David Seaman. Wouldn't get a game for Kilmarnock.

(MAN SPEAKING ON TV)

- 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.

(TV PLAYING IN BACKGROUND)

GARY: 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 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,

(SNIFFS)

and then we went out back, cos he said

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

(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 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?

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

- 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.

(SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYING)

DS GANGRIDGE: Guv? DAVE: 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?

(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 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.

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.

- (DOOR BANGS OPEN) - Police! (YELLS INDISTINCTLY)

(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.

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. - (LINDSAY SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENING)

(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 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.

(SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYING)

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. (CRIES SOFTLY)

(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.
