Previously on The Hack. Think who edited the paper. Think about where he sits

now. I mean, I know Andy Coulson. Him, sitting next to the Prime Minister.

That's wrong in every way. The police have Mulcair's notebooks. If we can get

them into the public eye, we'll see who hired who, how high this goes, who was

being hacked.

Just be safe with yourself.

Just be safe.

It's a Daniel Morgan case.

We've had some witnesses finally come forward.

You cannot be taking phone calls from a protected witness.

From today, you will have no further contact with Gary Eden whatsoever.

Max, we've got them on the rack.

You settle, the whole thing gets covered up again. You've got them on the rack.

With what? The Murdochs agreed to pay Clifford more than a million pounds.

Our biggest gun was spiked.

Our liberal conservative government will take Britain in a historic new

direction. A direction of hope and unity, conviction...

and common purpose i'm delighted to be standing here with the new deputy prime

minister and i would like now to invite him to speak to us on what i think is a

remarkable and very welcome day thank you david we um we've just been through

election campaign and now we have a coalition uh until today we were rivals

now we're colleagues

All that work given to someone else in the byline. I'm finding it a little bit

hard to get my head around.

Look.

BBC are playing it on repeat. I've watched it 15 times. It was sickening

first time.

Andy Coulson now sits at the right -hand side of God as a direct link between

Number 10 and Murdoch. I don't like that whisper chat. We need our... Our own

coalition. We need allies.

We have allies. I'm assembling a huge team of lawyers. People are working

together. We need allies in the press.

Yeah, I think I've tried. Nobody will touch it.

Thank you.

Well, they weren't on Fleet Street, but I've always thought a lot of Glen

Campbell. I think Panorama will bite. No, no, no. The BBC won't risk a battle

with Murdoch. Well, then there's Dispatches, maybe, and internationally,

Keller.

You can't think the New York Times would want to be involved. Murdoch's hold on

the Wall Street Journal is galling to Bill. I think he could... Well, I've got

resources, of course, but... Alan, they won't share back.

TV acts, mate, the New York Times.

This will always be your story, Nick.

No, it's bigger than that.

Me.

Oh, I can't make friends at school. Why not a pen pal? I get it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I get it. It's a good idea. It's a necessary idea.

Good.

So, Nick Davis and the Guardian are losing the exclusive, but winning the

Steve? Yep.

I'm aware that it has taken a few years to get to this point, and many of us are

eager to draw these pre -trial hearings to a close.

But I'm afraid a new matter has arisen that requires our attention.

Last night, an application was made by the counsel for the defendants as

a possible irregularity in the conduct of this investigation in relation to the

prosecution witness, Mr. Gary Eaton.

In order to resolve this, it is my view that we must spend some time hearing

evidence directly from DCS David Cook and the officers in his team, which will

begin on Monday.

These rules are ridiculous.

They are tight on this one. No conferring my colleagues.

May not work with these officers day in, day out. They don't want you to

prepare. Basically, it's known as an ambush defense. And they want me to tell

them everything about Gary Eaton.

Well, the suspects are sitting right there. If the judge does decide to lose

Gary Eaton's evidence, it would be a significant setback.

Oh, losing Gary Eaton would be a fucking disaster.

So we do what the judge tells us to.

All you have to do is answer the questions.

Dave will be fine.

He's good in the spotlight.

And while you sit in the spotlight, Boy Scout behavior.

Day in, day out.

Agreed? The defence could put you under surveillance.

They could track your car, your phone. They'd love nothing more than to catch

you out.

These men have been under arrest for over a year. This is a fucking farce.

Nothing to do with truth. Nothing to do with justice.

Do the best we can within the system we've got.

What do you call three Pulitzer Prize winners sitting in a row?

A murder, an ambush, an armada?

Do you really call them help?

This is quite something.

It's remarkable journalism, Nick. Thank you.

Any sense they're doing it in America, too?

A few suspected names, nothing firm. It's all in there.

You have no one on record from News of the World?

No. But plenty off the record.

Am I right?

She's trying to get you to reveal who your Mr. Epomo is.

Oh, I see. You think he's a news international insider.

Interesting.

Um, but no, not sharing.

And frankly, even if I wanted to, he's disappeared.

Do you have an angle, though?

Your paper?

You know, Bill's instincts were royal family, Murdoch's, press intrusion. In

that order?

We'll find our way.

It's important no one can say that we colluded with you or were baby fed just

stand your story up. You're here to stand my story. I wasn't saying that.

idea is we further each other's stories. Anything new we get, we know you're the

keeper of the flame.

We'll bring you in.

I'd say likewise, but I've given you all I have.

I don't know when this started either.

You might get a call from the New York Times in the next two days.

New York Times?

Fancy. They're getting involved.

We're giving them what we have.

Two newspapers are better than one.

You know, Nick, when I look at the kids who come around for playdates, I

instinctively know who are good at sharing and who aren't. And you... Alan

thinks it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea. You weren't very good at

sharing at all.

Why? I'm not done.

They'll do their thing.

It actually makes it easier to pursue.

I was actually quite good at football as a kid, so that's what I would have done

at your playdate. I had to find a ball and kicked it. I didn't care about toys.

Anyway, I have an idea.

So, Harry Evans wrote in his memoir about a plane crash.

I don't know Harry Evans.

Editor of the Sunday Times from 1967 to 81.

Newspaper legend.

Doesn't that mean he worked for Murdoch?

Oh, they didn't get on.

Murdoch fired him?

Eventually. Actually, first he promoted him, gave him editorship of the Times.

And he's the hero in this story. I haven't told the story. Well, your eyes

he's the hero.

So, DC -10 in Paris, passenger jet. There was clearly a problem with the

manufacture of the plane, but Harry couldn't print. Without evidence?

Exactly. So...

Harry got his reporters to intervene, linked the Bereave families with highly

effective lawyers in the US because US courts were more likely to order

McDonnell Douglas to disclose internal paperwork.

My plan is to do the same. Haven't we already tried that with Max Clifford?

no, then you involve me, in your case, very kindly. Now I'm going to recruit

you.

So they bribed Max. They won't be able to stop an army of people. If I can get

list of the hats.

encourage them to come forward, we can flood the courts.

I can't see he was a footballer. Look, Andy Coulson created a culture of the

news of the world. To prove he did so, we need to get as many of his top

journalists implicated as possible.

Marquez notes had Clive Goodman's name written at the top's court record.

So we can find the other editors who commissioned him.

Come on, it's time to get nuclear, don't you think?

The inevitable dig followed. I had to identify, with the help of my furry

friend, every celebrity politician and sports star they'd gone after. High

ranking, the low ranking, the illustrious, the audacious.

And then I had to persuade those people, fight like MP Tessa Jowell.

Yes, I have been threatened by the police.

All the dirt they had on your ex -husband came from hacking. And ruined

marriage, I am aware.

I'd like to publish an article about your experiences, and I'd like you to

consider pursuing it further in court. I have good lawyer recommendations.

But that would mean stirring it up.

We've struggled enough.

Please, leave it alone.

I had proof that Charles Clarke had been hacked. I told a friend who knew him to

tell him. My friend said... He's not willing to engage.

With Charlotte's help, I identified a dozen law firms who specialised in

representing celebrities. I contacted all of them.

I wish I could tell you their name.

I'm getting nothing.

Nothing? They're busy.

They're worried about reviving an embarrassing story.

They can't afford it, but mostly... Mostly, they're frightened.

I've heard rumours about Nicole Kidman.

Hello, Charlotte.

Nice to meet you.

A charming lawyer. How nice.

Nicole's lawyer is John Kelly.

Have you met John Kelly?

No. She wasn't warned by the police, and no, she won't be meeting with you or

any other journalist.

Mr. Kelly, this is worth pursuing.

For Nicole, for all your clients. It's still a no, I'm afraid.

A hard no.

Her trustees say no.

Mark Thompson came about because two of his clients, one of whom was Big

Brother's Jade Goody, had been hacked.

Jade had died of cancer.

They're not interested in pursuing a case.

Perhaps I could talk to them. Because you're more persuasive than me.

I get it. You're desperate.

There is another... someone. I can't give you her name.

We called her AZP.

She's very angry.

They've ruined her life.

She's leaning into all this.

I'd like to... Yeah, of course you fucking would.

And if she's brave enough to talk more, then you'll hear more. But until then...

I just also forget.

They are profoundly scared.

Mr. Cook, do you accept that a number of rules were broken with regard to Gary

Eaton?

I do.

And the issue for the judge to decide on is the spirit in which these rules were

broken. Were they broken in bad faith or was it done transparently and in the

interests of justice?

Those are the two sides that we are litigating at the moment. Do you

that? Yes, I do.

Let us begin with your initial meeting with Mr Eaton.

It's been suggested that you led the witness during this conversation.

I think it's important for me to say that I never wanted to meet with Mr.

in the first place.

He insisted he would only speak with me, so I went along.

And the job is to find out if he was valid.

And to do that, you have to ask some probing questions.

Give me the name of the brothers.

That's hardly a probing question.

Is it, Mr. Cook?

He wasn't interested in any brothers at all, was he? You gave him the brothers.

I gave him the brothers. I did not give him the name of the brothers. You were

aware at that first meeting of how important it was to preserve the

the process?

And that's what I thought we were doing. It was all recorded.

And we all have the transcripts here before us, but that wasn't my question.

It was a simple question.

Let's try another.

Do you accept that by having direct phone conversations with the witness,

were breaching the sterile corridor system?

Yes, I do, but I would say that this was a particularly difficult circumstance.

It wasn't difficult at all. All you had to do was say to this man, I'm sorry,

the rules are I'm not allowed to have direct contact with you.

You have your own witness protection handler. They can sort out any problems

may have. But from now on, you must not ring me. And if you do, my phone will

bar you. And that is what I did on several occasions.

Did you ever bar Gary Eaton from calling your phone?

Not always possible on every type of phone.

Are you saying that it's not possible from a Metropolitan Police phone?

It's a terribly simple question.

He changed his number. I didn't know his number.

I'd like to turn now to the issue of your note -taking.

My Lord, between August the 23rd and the 16th of September 2006, not one

of Mr. Cook's numerous telephone calls to Ethan appears on the schedule.

Mr. Cook!

Do you mind telling us how it is that between the 23rd of August and the 16th

September you managed to make so many calls without recording any of them?

From memory, the vast majority, if not all, were to do with Mr Eaton's welfare,

domestics, stuff like that, nuisance stuff. But you accept, do you not, that

court has no way of knowing what was said during these calls?

I accept that. My lord, do you mind if I sit down? I suffer from vertigo.

Please.

Let us look at tab number nine. We can see top line that the debrief begins

on the 1st of August. We can see that it's followed the next day by a call

is 15 minutes long.

That one is logged. Then on the 28th of August...

There's a nine -minute call which is not blocked. Then, on the 1st of September,

Eaton suddenly changes his story. He says for the first time that he was at

scene of the murder.

What are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting that that may not be a coincidence, Mr Cook.

I suppose you're going to deny it and say that it is just a coincidence?

going to deny that during these unlogged calls you were feeding Mr Eaton his

story? Why would I do not? This case has been causing the Metropolitan Police

untold embarrassment for over two decades.

You were desperate to nail someone.

Of course, if you think you have somebody who may be an eyewitness, you

them with both arms. But you allowed this dishonest, mentally ill man to run

riot over your investigation. Not only that, but you manipulated him because he

was easily manipulable and because he was your one way of bringing this case

back to life and ending your career.

With a real coup, isn't that what has gone on here, Mr. Cook?

You could not be further from Richard, sir.

If you haven't changed your ways, no chance.

Thanks.

Can you still win? Now that we've lost Gary Eaton, the entire case, Ruth and

women, Monday Wright, Jimmy Cook's ex -girlfriend, who was basically a fucking

nightmare, and James Ward, our original supergraph, was a radical

bet.

Nine days they kept me in that bed.

And day one, I really thought I could win.

Hope.

Yeah, I remember hope.

I'm sorry they did that to you.

You didn't deserve it.

Yeah, maybe I did.

It's all about you.

Can you, um, win?

Journalism isn't about winning or losing. It's about the gradual erosion

-worth.

Alan's given the story to Panorama and the New York Times, and he's probably

right, because I can't get anyone to go to court, which means we can't... I

thought I had a way to get to Mulcair's notes. I thought I was finally getting

somewhere, but, like everything, I tried.

What about Jonathan Rees?

Surely he's just as bad as Mulcair.

He's on trial, if you haven't noticed.

We raided his house a few years ago.

We found invoices on his desk.

Rees to Alex Marinchuk for the News of the World. Now, Rees went to prison for

conspiring to prevent the course of justice, came out and went right back

the Employee News of the World while Andy Coulson was the editor.

Andy Coulson?

News of the World employed a convicted criminal?

Now, this fell into your lap, OK?

You can't quote me.

You can't name Rees.

But you can use this to nail them.

This could get you in serious trouble.

I'm already in serious trouble.

So you're calling Jonathan Rees Mr.

Ray? I think it's my best pseudonym yet.

Can't name him till after the Morgan trial.

It's very tenuous legally even to hide him under a pseudonym. His lawyers can

claim contempt of court.

Coulson being in government is a contempt.

It's a good story. Does it stand out? My source is solid. Jonathan Rees was in

prison for conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

And then he's the world rehired him. After he was released from prison while

Coulson was editor.

Feels a good one.

We'll need to give Coulson a right of reply.

This is the most archaic practice, giving people quotes in articles against

them. It's just free advertising space for their lives. I think it's necessary.

If we publish his right of reply, we'll be misleading our readers.

Whatever the fight, I think it's better to stick to established journalist

practice, don't you? What would you know about journalism? You're a lawyer.

Nick, could you maybe talk to her with a bit more respect?

Oh, fuck off. With respect. Nick.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Rufus, sorry, Jill. I know how vital you are to all this. Just busy time, busy

head.

I'll alert some people.

Go backstage.

I know this will spread.

The other newspapers, they can't ignore this. It has to.

Jill? If you get the quote from Cawthon, I think we can argue public interest.

I agree.

Thank you.

This is good.

Whoever your source is, this is good.

Would it surprise you to know it didn't spread?

All the other newspapers ignored the Mr. A story.

You'll get them next time.

The trouble with next time... The trouble with... You'll

get them next time.

I don't have a next time.

You stupid child.

Nicholas, Nicholas, don't be dramatic, Nicholas.

Now, let's get a washcloth for that blood, shall we?

I don't have it next to me.

Hi, Nick David.

Nick, it's Jo Becker, New York Times.

Oh, yeah, hi.

It's now not a good time.

No, it's fine.

How can I help?

We're going to publish.

Great. What?

Sean Hoare is going on the record.

He's a genuine insider.

Oh, more than that, he's Coulson's friend.

They worked the Celebrity Bazaar column that Coulson made his name on. What did

he say?

Well, he talked about Coulson a lot.

I had a good relationship with him, as it goes.

Yeah, look at what the fuck I wanted. I came in with a good story.

The brief was, I don't give a fuck.

The news of the world meeting, sir, more fun than Guardian, one.

You're not wrong.

But I asked him.

Did he know what's going on, Coulson?

New York Times over here on this side.

Yeah. Oh.

Why? We want to investigate whether an ethical line has been crossed.

At least I'm a Guardian.

You don't think the Guardian are valid?

I think the Guardian are being beautiful beings gazing down from their mighty

high horses of pious fucks.

You know, but the thing about you, you see, is that you're... You're foreign.

And I like you.

I personally played voicemail recordings to the bastard when we worked together

at the Sun and the Screws.

You played recording to Colton?

Sean, is that on the record?

I want a New York Mets top.

I'm sorry?

I want a New York Mets top, and then it's on the record.

Okay.

Sure.

Great.

So I say we go completely crazy and have another orange juice.

Thank you.

This is very good.

I don't think they made clear the link with Coulson.

It's good journalism, but it's not... I love an intimate party, Nick, but it is

nice, don't you think, to have at least some other people who want to be there?

This is the New York Times.

It's going to be a lot harder to fight as both.

This matters.

It was an extremely good piece.

The way it... It was extremely good. And what happened next?

Alan was right. It made everybody braver.

Celebrities began to look up. For instance, Charlotte Harris began to get

somewhere with a client, football agent Skye Andrews. They offered him £200 ,000

a year and £1 .2 million in free advertising for a charity if he dropped

case. And? He said no.

People were willing to fight.

Most unusual people.

Hi, Nick Davies. Max Mosley. I'm a fan of your work.

Then Max Mosley did something extraordinary.

To be clear, we didn't meet at the Guardian, but this setting will do. I'd

to back, financially, anyone wishing to bring a case against the news of the

world. Indemnify them against costs and damages.

Max, that could bring millions.

I'm guessing you saw it.

Nazi sex orgy.

Photos of me.

It was not Nazi. It was consenting, but they didn't care.

I sued. I got a small reward.

I survived.

My son didn't.

Heroin overdose one year after the story was published.

I'm sorry?

They can attack us when our children are damaged.

But are you sure that this is what you want to spend your fortune on?

You underestimate my fortune, Mr. Davis.

And my anger.

The world started to unfold before us.

The strategy started to work. Allies were, well, not exactly everywhere, but

gathering. And then the game changed.

Mark Thompson got in touch. His client, AZP. Do you remember AZP? Well,

apparently she loved the New York Times piece and the Mr. A story, and she

wanted to meet.

Oh, and AZP, she did.

Deanna Miller, meet Nick Davis.

Pleasure to meet you.

Yes. Actor.

Tabloid magnet.

R .A.'s card.

He knows it's coming.

Everyone's been whispering to her to stop.

All of Hollywood.

Some roles are being withdrawn.

Others are being promised if she just lets it go.

You've decided to keep fighting?

They've also said they've told me that there is more muck on me they'd use,

which is... I mean...

Probably true, but I mean, how can they print anything worse?

All the papers are after her.

Can I ask, Sienna, can I ask what happened?

I can't go into the details.

And I really don't want to pry, but what were they digging for?

Um... Seemingly, um...

Well, anything about me is interesting.

The restaurants I go to, what I wear, people I meet.

But it seems their attention was particularly grabbed by... I

got pregnant and

I had a decision to make.

You understand?

And at that time, when you're dealing with that, you need people that you can

trust, and I didn't trust anyone.

I thought that they were all selling stories about me because they knew

everything.

And I couldn't work out why. I couldn't work out why anything I told my friends

or family was being leaked.

I thought, I mean, I started to.

Yeah.

I, uh... The number of people

that I trusted grew smaller and smaller until there was almost no one at all.

I didn't know which way was up. Not anymore. I drank too much, did all the

things, damaged my career, damaged myself.

And they feasted on it.

Was this Mulcair?

We don't know. We don't know who was doing what. All we know is the results

it.

The thing that I was most, um... sorry about was that I, um...

I damaged my family.

Once it was all, um...

I

only basically told my mum.

Then they still found out.

And they published, and I thought it was her.

I thought it was her, you know.

That's been horrible.

But I'm a celebrity.

I chose all this. It's not their fault. It's in the public interest.

We're taking this all the way.

Good.

We're going to have to disclose this.

I'm afraid we've no choice.

But I ain't done nothing.

Lindsay, your entire search history's here. You can see what you searched and

when you searched it.

But I'm allowed to be curious, aren't I?

I'm not going to be allowed to be curious.

Look, you're accusing Jimmy Cook of over 30 separate murders.

And each time you change a statement and say you remember a new murder, it comes

off the back of an internet search on how to commit that particular type of

murder.

Disclosing this means that we can no longer put you forward as a witness of

truth.

And I'm afraid, Lindsay, I'm afraid we lost the only other witness who had

evidence on Jimmy.

For your statement, that was all the prosecution had to go on.

James Frederick William Cook.

Stand, please.

I direct a verdict of not guilty in respect of count one, and you are now

to go.

No, no, no, no, no.

What is he... Oh, shit.

I'm now number one target, you know that.

How could you let this happen?

You take sugar?

Uh, just half.

And a splash of milk.

Thanks.

Uh, how long you been here, then?

Moved in a while ago.

I know, I just haven't had time to... There's a sofa coming.

Thanks.

Yeah, I was actually pretty choked when I heard.

You and Jackie always seem solid.

Yeah.

Heard you and Vicky got married. That's great.

We invited you to the wedding, but you never RSVP'd.

Did you?

I'm so sorry.

I've been busy. Frantic.

Work. Life.

That's what you get for having friends who are coppers.

They disappear on you for years on end.

So are Stowe Piles.

But I don't know why you're here.

You want something?

Alan Rusbridger and the Guardian have been in touch with us at Panorama.

It's the hacking stuff, but there's also this story on Jonathan Rees that

they've been pushing.

I know you've been on Daniel Morgan, so Rees is your bag, right?

Look, I'm sorry. We can talk about other things.

I'll take my BBC hat off.

Genuinely. I wanted to see you.

How are you?

No.

Open.

Oh, that's strange.

A house without kids.

Pretty quiet.

I think I need to get better and fill in on the time.

We should be...

Aiming for a coalition of lawyers.

Coalition? I mean government now. I have other friendly lawyers with very high

profile clients. Yeah, I do actually know who you're talking about. Sky

Advocate, progressing under your watch, is still not accepting their terms. No.

Max Mosley has promised to financially back any client who comes forward.

we can encourage them all to come forward now. Nick, breathe.

Okay.

You are constantly swaying between utter despair and this. It's exhausting.

The law needs time.

We are building something.

Let it fucking build.

Stop worrying about the New York Times getting there before you. This is your

case. I'm not worried about the New York Times.

I don't have Sienna Miller as a client.

You don't have Sean Hall in your pocket, but we are all working together. Stop

doing that thing with your hands.

I have another one for you. A former politician.

Apparently, he's had sight of Margot's notebook.

I've been reluctant to share him because I think he's tricky, but you want

everyone.

What I'm interested in is in Mulcair's notebooks.

I've no interest in what it shows, but there'll be a name at the top corner of

the notes, which is the name of someone at the News of the World.

Have you read what the Guardian has written about me, about this case?

Tommy Sheridan, a defamation case which became a perjury case, a process of

disclosure on which allowed him access to Mulcair and to his paperwork.

And he's right.

The Guardian haven't been kind about him.

What I'm going to do is to build a case against Andy Coulson and the culture of

the news of the world that the hacking was endemic. Yes, there's a name. No,

can't see it. And you certainly can't print it.

I don't trust journalists, Nick.

Not anymore.

Okay, the name is important because it undermines the one rogue reporter

argument which Coulson keeps hiding behind. The more editors and senior

journalists we can implicate, the more we show them lying.

Greg Miskew.

Greg Miskew, you sure?

I didn't tell you?

You're not printing it?

Greg Miskew was news editor, later assistant editor.

He's retired now, but he reported directly to Coulson. I know who Greg

now. Do you know how significant this is? This could blow the lid off. This

to be off the record.

Do you understand that you're representing yourself in court?

Yes. What if I was to help you?

Go on.

There's very little I know a lot about, but this issue is one of them. I could

feed you questions, help with your research, all for nothing.

For the name of the notebook.

That name is dynamite. Greg Miskew is dynamite. And you can print it because

it's been stated in court.

I have an idea who you should call as a witness.

Go on.

Andy Coulson.

You're a traitor.

Start by asking him about Greg Miskew. He'll deny any knowledge.

Mr. Coulson, these are the written notes of the former News of the World

employee, Glenn Mulcair.

Contractor, not employee.

Mr. Coulson, do you recognize the name of the top left -hand corner of the

It says Greg.

This is the big one.

Do you think that name refers to the former assistant editor, Greg Miskew?

Not to my knowledge, no. Do you have any knowledge of Greg Miskew ordering Glenn

Mulcair to hack Tommy Sheridan's phone? Are you telling me that you never

ordered or were unaware of Greg Miskew ordering Mr. Mulcair to tap my phone?

No. I had absolutely no knowledge of it, and I certainly didn't instruct anyone

to do anything of the type. Interesting, because Sean Hall in the New York Times

stated that he played you hacked.

Voicemail. I remain confident there is no evidence to support Mr. Hall's

accusations. That's my position.

Do you have any comment on why Mr. Hall would have made those accusations?

You should ask Mr. Hall. How bad was the culture at your newspaper?

I don't accept there was any culture of phone hacking at the News of the World.

There was one unfortunate case involving Clive Goodman, and no one was more

sorry about it than me.

And that's why I resigned.

Tommy Sheridan.

We got Miskew's name out there. It wasn't enough, but we're rattling

cage.

Well, let's see if this sends him over the edge.

This was lodged in the High Court this morning.

Worth mentioning, in real life, he made me go to the courthouse to pick this up

myself.

Possibly not worth mentioning.

Mulcair blagged her phone number. I changed my phone twice, and somehow they

always got it. It wasn't just her phone they were inside of.

They targeted Sienna's mother, her boyfriend, his assistant, her publicist.

analysed my item on phone bills and then we used them to force the police to

hand over calls made by Mulcair.

The police were sitting on this information for four years, I'll remind

John Yates.

Four years.

And then we linked them to the news of the world stories.

There was a name that appeared in the top corner of Glenn's notes.

A name we haven't heard before.

A name.

that could change everything.

Tell me the name.

Ian Edmondson.

Ian Edmondson? You reported directly to Coulson? Ian Edmondson is the current

news editor of the News of the World.

Miss Q and Edmondson, chief reporter, former news editor, current news editor.

That is a culture.

A culture Coulson has created.

We don't survive this.

Just heard. Good work, Nick.

Is it the kick?

No, no, no.

It's about your father.

God, I'm so sorry, Nick.

Yeah, Graham.

We found two crates in an old DPS office.

A cleaner found them.

Sold evidence on James Ward.

But we told the judge we'd declared everything on Lord.

I'm sorry.

How about that?

Now this is the end, right?

Do you want the official answer or the honest answer?

We don't survive that.

I don't understand.

How can they accuse us of withholding evidence when you didn't even know that

the crazy... It was a disused police building.

Nothing to do with your team, right?

Yeah.

The office was locked for years. Nobody knew anything about it.

But even if we could make the case that we weren't withholding the files, the

contents, the details about James Ward, they didn't originally disclose to us.

If we'd have had the files earlier, we may have been able to deal with it, but

all of it together, it's years and years and years

gone.

All because someone left some files in the wrong room.

It's like everyone forgot all the people in their court.

This was supposed to be about Daniel.

I really loved him.

I know.

He was heavenly.

You're very complicated, but I really loved him.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil.

For you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.

On the 14th of January, 2011, Rebecca Brooks asked her secretary to find

somewhere discreet for her to meet Andy Coulson.

She did so the next day at 7 .45 a .m. at the Hawken Hotel in Belgravia.

We don't know what Brooks said to Coulson during that meeting, but we do

that on the 21st of January, Andy Coulson resigned.

He said, unfortunately, continued coverage of events connected to my old

At the news of the world.

has made it difficult for me to give the 110 needed in this role i stand by what

i said about those events but when a spokesman needs a spokesman it's time to

move on thank you thank you

this

is the end of a long, as I am sure everyone associated with this case will

agree, exhausting road.

In all the years that I have been a judge, I have never come across a case

which there have been so many issues or such complex issues to be resolved

before a trial could even get underway.

The family will inevitably be disappointed by the outcome, but they, I

should be commended.

on the dignity with which they have faced these proceedings.

Mr. Rees, Mr. Fillory, Mr. Glenn Vian, Mr. Gary Vian, please stand.

You are free to go.

Verdicts of not guilty have been entered in all of your cases.

Thank you all.

Your dad?

Yep.

He was a nice man.

You didn't know him.

You made him sound nice.

And to Andy Coulson.

May he disappear and never come back.

I may as well tell you we're reporting it tomorrow.

Murdoch's going for full control of B -Sky B.

I did hear it was possible.

If he gets that, he'll be able to leverage a serious amount of debt.

By more, by bigger.

We're talking world domination.

Why are you telling me this?

To remind you it's not over.

Remind me that they cut Coulson loose to save him.

It's all a false victory.

Not false at all.

Dissection is a slow process. We tackle them.

One limb at a time. And eventually they run out of limbs.

Do they?

We rest. We lick our wounds. We take stock. No, I don't.

I don't think so. I think on this story, I think you need to find someone to

take over.

Sometimes you need to know when to stop.

A bit of fresh air might be an odour. Oh, I'm fine.

Well, you're not.

I'm all right.

Oh, you're not, mate.

Someone I wanted to meet.

He helped me.

I think he can help you.

Get showered, get dressed. I'm not leaving till you do it.

I'm serious.

David Cook, Gordon Brown. Gordon Brown, David Cook.

I know a lot about you, DCS. I appreciate you coming all this way.

No problem.

I'm interested to hear more about what's happened to you.

I think I might be able to help.
