Previously on The Hack.

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

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.

We found invoices on his desk.

Rees, the Alex Maranchuk, and the News
of the World. While Andy Coulson was the

end of them.

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

Ian Edmondson. Ian Edmondson? You
reported directly to Coulson?

Someone I wanted to meet.

David Cook, Golden Brown.

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

I, uh, I think I might be able to help.

I, uh, are you going to find a walk -in?

No.

Do you have a favourite spot?

Hill walking in Arran, sir.

You don't need to call me sir.

Policeman's habit.

Well, I like Arran.

Particularly in the... And this might
point to a certain masochistic quality

my part.

Particularly in the wintertime.

Well, it's the colours.

Arran in the winter.

Well, we shall have to go.

You can show me the route.

Oh, you're making me quite homesick.

No, surely you can get up there more
often now you're not... Now that I don't

have a job?

No, I didn't mean... I should be able
to, shouldn't I? And yet I keep being

dragged back to London.

Glenn has told me something about what
happened to you. Your, uh, your story.

Okay.

The intrusion.

The surveillance. The, uh, the meeting
with Rebecca Brooks.

It sounds a merry mess.

Yeah, well, look, I made mistakes.

I should know.

Oh, well, we all do.

We all do.

My father was a minister, as I think you
know, in the Church of Scotland. He

would hear everyone's stories.

It's a great feeling on my part that I
don't have the time nor the patience

he does, so I think it's my
responsibility to tell you why your

unusual story mattered to me.

It's because...

It's because I think this country has
become polluted and I think that we

all, should all, try to do something
about it, don't you?

You've read the pieces in The Guardian
about the hacking?

Yeah, an excellent one.

Did you read the pieces in The New York
Times too?

I did. And you know the work that Glenn
is doing at Panorama?

Yeah.

Rupert Murdoch.

is trying to take control of BSkyB. If
he does that, it's a valuable

organization, and he will leverage the
value of it to accumulate the debt

to buy a huge multinational company,
perhaps Disney or Time Warner.

He'll have control of our media
landscape and a good hold of America.

He needs to be stopped.

I agree.

I will tell you my stories, and you will
tell me yours.

And then perhaps, David,

Perhaps we can work out how to help each
other.

What do you say?

What do you want me to say?

Into the shark's cage.

I don't think they'll be providing us
with cages tonight.

You're late. Wouldn't a helpful press
award are a good idea? A narcissist who

realized it's an industry full of
narcissists who pay to be rewarded for

narcissism. I can't be here.

Look over there.

Things of the world.

You know, they actually have members of
staff under arrest and many more being

investigated. Brass neck on them is
ridiculous.

So the least I can attempt is some neck.

No, I just want you here. You think
we're going to win something?

You're mad. Everyone here hates us. I
want you here because I want us to lose

with dignity.

Together.

I've missed you.

I feel itchy. I hate this shirt. Well,
it makes you look extremely handsome.

Oh, well.

Now, I have to go and play nice with
some rich board members.

But please remember, these people,
they're more frightened of you than you

of them. Oh, there's a difference
between hate and fear.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention
please.

Before our awards start this evening, we
have a special update from journalist

Nick Davies.

On Wednesday the 26th of January, News
International passed Scotland Yard three

email messages which they claimed to
have only just discovered in Ian

Edmondson's computer, and Ian Edmondson
was sacked.

Once in receipt of these emails,
Scotland Yard announced a new inquiry.

Operation Wheating under the command of
Sue Aples.

I dismissed Wheating as a PR move by the
Met until on the 9th of February they

released a statement.

The new evidence recently provided by
News International is being considered

alongside material already in the
Metropolitan Police Service's

Couldn't be.

They weren't finally going to
investigate the last four years of their

incompetence. All actions and decisions
by the previous investigation are being

reviewed. What were they?

Were we winning, finally?

I certainly didn't feel like a winner.
Show business, shall we? And the award

for showbiz reporter of the year goes
to... It's Stephen Moyes of the News of

the World!

Congratulations, Stephen.

and the award for News Reporter of the
Year goes to... It's the fake Sheikh

Mazam Amr for the News of the World.

The Scoop of the Year now. The Scoop of
the Year is awarded to the News of the

World for its excellent coverage of the
cricket corruption scandal.

And the award goes to... The News of the
World!

The News of the World!

OK, the moment we've all been waiting
for. It's the big one. The Newspaper of

the Year.

Now, the Newspaper of the Year goes to,
for what the judges say is a paper

completely unafraid to take on the
powers that be.

So, the Newspaper of the Year award goes
to... The Guardian!

Jackie Ames? Yes.

My name is D .S. Slater.

This is D .C. Grossman.

Is it David?

David Cook?

No. Well, I suppose, in a way, yes. We
are here investigating.

We're part of a new operation.

Operation Wheating?

We're investigating allegations of phone
hacking.

Do you work for Johnny Eats?

No, we're part of the Special Crime
Directorate.

Under the command of Deputy Assistant
Commissioner Akers.

Great, thank you. You were found in the
notebooks of Glenmill Care.

This doesn't surprise me.

We'd like you to take a look at these
details.

Is this your police payroll and warrant
numbers?

Yes.

How did he have these?

That's where I lived in 1977.

Is this where you worked in 2002?

Yes. And this phone number, this is...
This is correct, yeah.

There's information here that could only
have come from my police personnel

file.

Yeah, we, um... That's what we think.

Someone within the Met sold him my
information.

David's information.

It's, um...

Is it possible?

When was this known?

I'm sorry?

When did the Metropolitan Police have
this information?

A notebook was taken from Eau Claire in
2006.

2006?

Yeah. And the Metro was neither too
informing nor investigate this

possible corruption.

Well, that's... That's what we're trying
to do now, Mum.

Glenn Campbell.

Luke Davis. Hi.

Honour and a privilege.

I hear that you're not well liked at
Panorama.

I hear you're adored at the Guardian.

So, who do you usually meet here?

Is this where you meet criminals or
politicians?

I float between cafes and pubs like a
butterfly at a festival.

I liked the panorama on Alex Marinchak.

It wasn't one of mine.

You helped a lot. It was good.

You've got some particularly great hits
in on Jonathan Rees. I really liked your

piece on him, too.

Mr. A.

Very good.

You writing more?

No.

I'm... Didn't Dave say I'm out?

Coulson's gone. It's as far as I can go.

Don't look like that.

An engineer death, but something.

I wanted people to take it seriously.
They didn't. So I'm handing everything

Trying to persuade Ireland to give me
Belgium.

I gave you newspaper of the year.

That was for the Guardian, not me. I
lost my category.

You're getting somewhere, Nick. I got
somewhere.

Look, I know this must have cost you.
Cost me in the heart of it.

But no one...

No one cared. The whole industry turned
away like a complete snake.

What if I said I came to see you today
with an agenda?

I'm friends with Claire Rue Castle
-Brown, the journalist and sister -in

Gordon Brown. He's leaning in. I took
Dave to see him, and he now wants to

you.

Gordon Brown?

Gordon's been looking at your work, and
he thinks there's a way to use it to go

further.

Come on, Nick.

What's meeting him going to cost you?

Well, it's wonderful to have you all
here. Thank you, Claire and Glenn, for

organising it.

You know, I have such respect for the
work of everyone in this room.

And I used to be Prime Minister. There,
does that start us off?

Yes.

Just about.

The Murdoch B -Sky B -Bid would be a
disaster for our country. This hacking

investigation needs better scrutiny than
people have chosen to give it. If

people understood, properly understood
the hacking, what was happening with

hacking, it may mean they rethink the B
-Sky B -Bid.

We have a shared objective.

How we achieve that objective is, well,
I increasingly believe, as it is clear,

and Tom, would be best achieved
together.

And perhaps everyone would like some
tea.

And perhaps everyone would like some
tea.

That's it, that's it, I'll pour.

No, I'll pour.

Right.

Who would like to begin?

Well, maybe I should speak first.

I was recently interrupted in an
investigation room and shown details of

in Operation Wheating that were.

Well, the level of intrusion was
troubling.

It's just possible that Operation
Wheating is the first Met Op to be run

properly. Well, the secret is John Yates
hasn't been running it.

Good. Good. So, how do we help them?

Where will they struggle?

Well, we have to get them to include
Jonathan Rees.

It makes no sense to tackle Mulcair and
not Rees.

I've got invoices to show that they were
both up to exactly the same activities.

Prepare me a file and I'll send it to
Sue Akers.

Is it that simple?

Well, I have access to Sue through the
Select Committee. I can't promise

results, but it's a start, no?

Sue and I were DSs at the same time.
I've already asked her to expand the

of the investigation, but... It'll mean
more coming from a parliamentary

perspective.

Good.

What else?

You seem to all be constantly looking at
me surprised.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem
we have is that the police,

politicians, and press are all
collaborating under Murdoch's aegis.

We are also made up of police,
politicians, and press.

I'm not official opposition, if you
like.

So, let's talk.

What do we need to do?

You are...

Are you having a nice time?

Uh, what?

You know, you're a remarkable
campaigner, Mick. Did you ever consider

politics?

Um... Well, I don't know. I don't know.

Why would you say that?

Perhaps a bit too suspicious of other
people to be a politician.

Something I struggle with myself
sometimes.

And, uh... And I believe it because I've
seen it.

On this case.

You're not sure whether I mean this, are
you?

Sorry?

You don't trust me?

I think this is the ball that I picked
up that I will quickly drop.

You're saying you won't drop the ball?

You know, they, um... They came at me in
every way, as you might expect.

They blagged my lawyer.

They procured my family's medical
information, and they, um... This is

something. They impersonated me to get
into my building society account.

That's a lot.

I tried to hold a judicial inquiry into
phone hacking in, let's see now, autumn

2009. After I read a piece of yours,
that was my first article.

The civil service resisted it, I think
is a kind term.

It did not meet the tests of public
concern.

You know, everyone thinks I'm close to
Rupert. He's very adept at that. He

quietly, you know all this. He rarely
disagrees. He asks questions and...

He makes everyone feel interesting.

It fascinates me how the powerful let
him in.

I wasn't as good at that game as Tony.

When he came for me, and he did, I was
unprepared.

Whether it was how I bowed my head at
the cenotaph or how I wrote to the

grieving mothers of dead soldiers.

Yes, I remember.

You know, I rang Rupert.

To tell him that his papers were
damaging morale in Afghanistan. As Prime

Minister, I was asking people to fight,
to risk, and he was telling them article

after article that I was casual with
their lives, with soldiers' lives, that

didn't care, to undermine that, to make
those young people feel

undervalued by their government.

Which is not right.

Sometimes you can tell that you're the
son of a preacher.

You know he wants everything.

His ambition is limitless.

But he's overstepped here.

And badly.

We can, and we should, do something
important to counter him.

But they started with you.

And it's going to need to end with you.

All of which is to say...

We need you, Nick.

Dave?

Dave? Yes, sir.

How's life at soccer?

We're getting somewhere.

Did I hear you've been giving orders to
GCHQ? That must be fun.

It's a bit more complicated than that.

What can I do for you, John?

Would you mind popping in a mic for a
minute?

Sure.

Internal investigations caught an email
coming from your computer to Mike

Sullivan at the Sun.

Which email?

So why is this a problem?

I said you'd rather be told it by me.
Well, and he was useful in morgue, and

he's still useful now. I mean, you've
got a good relationship with him

haven't you? I also have one or two
questions about the Panorama programme

went out.

Yep. I believe you're friends with Glen
Campbell at Panorama.

Pardon me? Do you think you could ask
him?

Have we got footage of Jonathan Rees
with his computer?

Well, he's quite protective of his
sources.

Rees is convinced, as am I, that the
footage could only have come from inside

the Met.

He's threatening to take action again.

Did it come from inside the Met? Is that
a further press release? The request to

pass information to Mike Sutherland came
for you.

I mean, he's your mate.

But there are rules, Dave, and you know
that. I do.

And there's an operation waiting for
you, Mr. Lawrence.

Give Panorama, Mike Sullivan, Nick
Davis, or anyone fucking else anything

our cases, and you'll be strung up for
all to see.

Do you hear me?

Yeah, I hear you.

I've got permission to talk about it
with you and you alone.

I am privileged.

These private meetings, you and I
outside of editorial.

Of course.

When have we not had those?

Welcome back.

Alan, our Scottish friend, you know it
better than I do.

We can trust him, right?

I want to say two things.

One, you're a journalist and I'm scared
that getting into bed with certain

politicians, well, we'll lose our vital
independence.

You do it all the time. I share my bed
with all political parties and I hope

pretty fair at sharing the...

Nick, we've just removed a senior member
of Conservative staff, and I don't want

that dismissed as coming from the
newspaper arm of the Labour group.

Understood, but I asked about Gordon.

And that's the second thing.

You don't go into a room with Gordon
Brown and get what you want. You go into

room and get what he wants.

He's ferociously intelligent and...

Very used to power.

But if your interests align, as I think
they do here,

he can be a remarkable ally.

One last push, is it?

And then I want Brussels.

Then you want your well -paid chocolate
dream.

Of course. Good. But please, Nick, take
it slow.

To work. What have you got?

The flood of cases is overwhelming the
courts, so they've appointed a hacking

judge. He's already causing trouble. At
the Andy Gray trial, he said it's clear

Mulcair had been regularly hacking him.
So that's an invitation. Any man, woman

or creature who has anything in those
books has been given licence to sue.

And you'll write it up? Yeah.

Why do you think they gave us this?

They're good journalists.

None of them support the story, our
story.

Guilt.

The world's most powerful motive.

I love you, darling. Yeah, love you too.

It's better than I know her.

Okay. It's Mike and Chief.

She's, uh, she's not been sleeping very
well.

I've been making her leave her phone
downstairs most nights. I'm not sure

get away with that.

I've been my best.

Also, um...

I've been contacted by Operation
Weeting.

Oh, have you?

You knew then?

The things they had on me.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. I should have warned
you. Yeah.

Yates came after me today.

And?

Didn't land a punch.

Good.

They're keeping me at arm's length.

But they did tell me a few pieces of
useful information. You remember that

Surrey Police got a call fishing for my
details?

Mm -hm. Well, Wheating told me that, um,
it was probably Mulcair who made that

call. Jesus Christ.

I don't think anyone's understood the
depth of criminality here.

Destabilising police investigations.

I mean, we're talking about a murder
charge being... Yeah, look who I'm...

telling you, right?

Please don't laugh at me about this. No.

No.

You know, right at the beginning of
this, I went to see Rebecca Brooks.

And I said, um, well, you're doing it
outrageous.

And you know what she said?

She said, we believed that you and
Jackie were having an affair.

And as you're both public figures,
public interest.

With all I find.

They thought we were having an affair
and we were already married.

Ridiculous.

Absurd. Cruel, I think, is a better
word.

Yeah.

I have a source in the police. I'm quite
openly victimized.

Might stop the whining celebrity angle.

What whining celebrity angle?

People dismissing it because they think
it's just celebrities whining. Get him

on the record.

You've been badly damaged by overs
already.

You're Nick Davis?

Only on weekdays.

Have we met? How can I help? By telling
me what the fuck you think you're doing,

stealing my story.

Can we use your office?

Which story have I stolen?

Apparently you're Mr. Hacking.

Every hacking story carries your byline.

It doesn't.

Today, in the paper, published, you
didn't write one word of it.

No.

Well, aren't you going to apologize?

No.

You know, the Guardian gives out all
this shit about what kind of world it

wants, and yet... This is well written.
Fuck off.

I didn't ask for credit, Ollie. Whoever
said it was wrong.

Right then, who do we see next?

Alan? Old.

Anything? Writing a story about the
hacking scandal without consulting

who spent the last three years having
his life destroyed by it.

Is this what works for you?

When you're attacked, you just attack
back?

No, sometimes.

Maybe you could have something there.

This is about Operation Waiting.

It's a totally different thing.

How come I haven't seen you round the
offices before?

I work alone.

My own hours.

They're supportive of it. And what have
you got on Wheaton?

Contact of mine in the force has been
put on it.

He's feeding me.

Tell me everything.

No.

He says it's timid.

He's eager for more action.

What's he giving you?

Each arrest as it happens.

Neville Thirlbeck is going to be at
Kingston Police Station between 9 and

I'm there conveniently for the arrest.

Can you, at my view,

Tell your source.

Tell them to look into the initial
select committee hearings, and in

the letter they received from News
International lawyers, because there's

disclosures in that the police never got
the answer to.

Thanks.

Yeah, I will.

It wouldn't be so bad, us working
together.

You need to see this.

Here's Ben Razier in Watling with more
on this story.

First, the denials that celebrity
voicemail messages were listened to.

claim it was down to a single rogue
reporter and his private investigator

sidekick. Now the admission, we failed
to uncover what was going on. We're

to apologize, and we're going to pay up.
Fuck.

Absolutely right.

Exactly the news of the world in missing
terms.

It's brilliant.

Is it? Bob.

By admitting they were at fault and
agreeing to cooperate. In fact, what

doing is they're finding a new device
for concealing the truth. Nick, will it

cheaper?

Standard rate damages rather than the
million pound hush money they've had to

pay out. And getting this out in court
now is next to impossible.

Am I right?

Well, if you are, for instance, Fiona
Miller, and you do take it to trial,

if she ends up getting less at trial
than they offered her before, then she

risks being ordered to pay both sides
costs, which could be astronomical.

And so, yes, it makes getting to trial
almost impossible.

Shit. My advice is, they've twisted one
way, we must twist another.

I've had a reply from Sue Akers on Rhys.

She's shown you that?

She says her remit is limited to more
care and the notebook. She isn't going

near Rhys. Should we try to leak
something?

Put pressure on that way?

I've got Rhys specifically targeting
Kate Middleton.

I've just heard he targeted John Yates.

Or we could... Do you think...

If we twisted an arm or two, do you
think we could get me up the list for

That's a very good idea.

I'm not following.

What does Sue Akers want?

To be free to take the evidence wherever
it leads her with a swift prod from the

left?

Maybe the Prime Minister will extend her
brief.

You could even name, Rhys.

Good, good. Hang on.

All of this exposes Dave to scrutiny
again.

Not already.

Tom, can I help?

Please do.

Good. Good.

Let's box Cameron in.

As the Prime Minister has previously
said, the hacking inquiry should go

the evidence takes it. The Metropolitan
Police are in possession of paperwork

which details the dealings of criminal
private investigator Jonathan Rees.

It strongly suggests that on behalf of
News International, he was illegally

targeting members of the Royal Family,
senior politicians and high -level

terrorist informers.

Yet the head of Operation Wheating has
recently written to me to explain that

this evidence may be outside the
inquiry's terms of reference.

Prime Minister, I believe powerful
forces are involved in a cover -up.

Please, please tell me what you intend
to do to make sure that this doesn't

happen.

The point I'd make to the Honourable
Gentleman, I know he takes a close

in this, is there is a police inquiry.

A police inquiry doesn't need terms of
reference.

The police are free to investigate the
evidence and take that wherever it leads

them, and then mount a prosecution with
the CPS.

Amelia, hi.

Thought you'd go in. Sorry, a bit weird
to wait for people outside toilets.

Oh, I don't know.

Got a minute?

Sure.

Two inquiries are being set up.

Operation Thelita, looking specifically
into Jonathan Rees. Good.

Operation Eldon. Never get over Scotland
Yard's need for a strange name.

To investigate the alleged payment of
bribes to police officers and other

officials from journalists from the News
of the World. And to make them do this.

You didn't see Tom Watson's speech?

Oh, I may have, Tom.

Did you write it?

Also, the select committee wading, you
suggested to my officer.

Let's call him...

Jingle. Fine.

It proved fruitful.

Operation Waiting forced some emails out
of News International, and the Met

discovered on their service some
systematic deletions.

Of course.

In particular, one enormous deletion in
January.

While they were handing over those three
emails from Ian Edmonton, can we print?

I'm working on it.

Look, Jingle was grateful for the
advice.

He said he can't volunteer information
on active cases, but ask him a question,

he'll tell no lie.

We've had something interesting come on.
What is Judge Voss doing? I feel like

we've only seen a tiny percent of
Malkhead. Voss is being robust with

It's yielding fruit. It feels important.

Where are we? Nick, I've got something
if you're interested, but you'll need to

listen. Sorry, go on.

I've been representing, as you know,
Leslie Ash and Lee Chapman. Yeah, I read

about it. You're doing brilliantly.

You're like my ex.

You always get complimentary when you
know you're in the wrong.

Sorry. I am sorry.

I heard you were a mess.

Oh, I can see an island of sanity. I'm
floating close to it. Go on.

I went to Patney so that the waiting
officers could show me the notes Mulcair

had taken from Leslie Ash and Lee
Chapman's voicemail. Yeah.

Now, some genius combined the two names
and gave me

the details of Leslie Chapman.

Remind me.

Jessica Chapman's father.

Jessica Chapman was one of the murdered
schoolgirls, right? The Soren murders.

It looks like Leslie Chapman's voicemail
was hacked.

They hacked the voicemail of a grieving
father. I'm not sure, but it looks that

way. You can't use it.

Yet.

This could change everything.

I need to talk to the family.

I need permissions.

I need to be sure.

Chapman family, I could talk to them.
That's not why I'm telling you this.

Nick, think.

If they're doing this to the Chapmans...
Where else have they been?

Exactly.

Jessica Chapman.

Oh, the Soane murders tore the police
apart for a while.

She's sure they were into the parents'
phone.

It's in Mulcair's notebooks, but I can't
get in there.

I've got to find another way in.

There you are.

I envy your confidence.

No, I'm just, um... Just happy to have
you back.

I thought that was better.

Sometimes.

Come on then, guys.

Are you just frying that cheese?

It's halloumi cheese if you like it.

I'm not hungry anymore.

What? No, it's just I don't get it. I
mean, I eat when I know that I have to

eat.

I just don't get hungry anymore.

Don't. What? Well, that's sympathy.

I've been sympathetic.

Don't try and pretend you're any better
state than me.

I've seen you, mate. You are this close
to total collapse, I'm telling you.

You know the story of the dung beetle?

Oh. God, have I slipped that low.

What? What, you trot out?

You trot out that story quite a lot, you
know.

Ask your kids, cry pity your kids.

What was going on? Have you heard about
the dung beetle?

An aggressive response.

Come on.

That'll make you hungry.

Thank you.

You want to know how I do it now? Hmm.

I focus on the details.

Always the next detail.

I've been phobic of blood ever since a
body exploded on me.

Body exploded on you? Yeah, well, an
older man full of hernias.

Normally, when a pathologist's scalpel
enters a cadaver, you hear a hiss.

Well, this time, it exploded.

Blood was everywhere. I was covered in
it.

But I was in homicide, so I'd gone to
pathology as a key part of my job,

So focus on the details.

Ears.

Toes.

Even how the wound looked.

The blood I made disappear.

So how do you do it, Nick?

Tell me I'm mad.

With pleasure. I was in the database,
News of the World, April 14th, 2002, 250

words long, page 9. It claims that
voicemail messages were sent to Millie's

phone after she disappeared.

Millie Dowler.

Police say voicemails were left by a
mentally disturbed woman who has hoaxed

previous inquiries.

Even quotes what she said.

Uh, hello, we're ringing because we have
some interviews starting. Can you call

me back? Thank you, bye -bye.

This is six days after Millie had
disappeared.

Final edition of the paper.

That reference was remote.

Because they might have realized what a
boobie they'd made.

Charlotte has evidence that they hacked
Jessica Chapman's father on the Soane

case. We can't get close to that. That
was the family, but... This is the girl

herself.

Rebecca was editor then.

This was under her aegis.

Can you confirm this?

I think so.

Is this as big as I think it is?

Yes, it is.

Make sure it stands up.

Bill, hi. Any fruit?

Jingle says they've been investigating.

Is that confirmation?

Are they confirming that it happened?
Yes, there is a page on Dowler in

Mulcair's notebooks.

Right, we need to be absolutely
watertight.

Nick, he also says they're pursuing a
line of inquiry. They deleted messages

because the voicemail box was full.

They deleted messages?

I'll get us a firm anonymous quote from
Jingle.

OK. Thanks, Mindy. Bye. Bye -bye.

I have a source from inside Wheating.
I've got the article. Glenn, I've got a

good source saying that Surrey police
know about it and the Dowler family did

not.

Well, this is it.

This is it. I don't want to believe, but
I do.

The source is clear.

Stuart Kuttner... Remember him.

..even called Surrey Police.

He didn't just hear the voicemail, he
followed up on it. They even think they

deleted her answer phone messages to
allow space for messages to be given,

made the family think she was still
alive.

Oh, God.

Do you know, if we can land this, this
changes everything.

How?

A child.

A dead child's phone. It's despicable.

You know, part of the British public
think that celebrities, politicians,

journalists even deserve everything that
they get. But when an innocent is

harmed, an innocent already wronged,
trust me,

the news of the world will not be
forgiven for this.

Hi, this is Dave. Leave a message.

David, I've been offered to go onto
Channel 4.

I don't have a career to protect and I
think I should do it.

If you have a problem with any of this,
could you just call me or text me,

please? Thank you.

Mrs. Dowler, my name is Nick Davis. I
know.

They said you'd be coming by.

I've just been watching you on YouTube.

Come on, come in.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So the police are keeping you... Up to
date with it all, yes.

Operation Wheating, good team, it seems.

They say it was true.

Our daughter was hacked.

Yes.

You tell us why.

Why, sorry?

What we don't understand is why someone
would do this.

You're a journalist.

Can you explain?

I think there's a good story in it.

A good story?

They wanted to either to find her or to
find something printable about her.

So the phone promised all those things.

But we'd only just lost her, didn't they
know it was wrong?

I think they didn't consider that.

And they know it would hurt us.

At that time, Millie was the most famous
person in the UK.

Everyone wanted to read about her.

And I'm afraid they needed to sell their
newspaper.

Now you're here.

Someone else selling a newspaper?

I am.

Yes, but I'm hoping... what we are
doing...

will help expose a wrong that was done
to your daughter.

However, yes, we are selling newspapers.

And I know that all this will be
bringing her back into the spotlight

And I know... And that's painful.

Just slightly.

Yeah.

But you should do it all the same.

You have our permission, Nick.

If you needed it, that is.

Thank you.

Always can never get used to microphones
being poked everywhere.

I'm used to it. It's a crime watch.

Of course.

Of course you are.

More used to it than me.

Oh.

Do you want to share the byline with
Amelia?

Our source helped confirm it.

It needs something clearer.

Is the world targeted?

Illegally targeted.

Good. Illegally targeted.

Missing schoolgirl Millie Dallow and her
family in dates interfering with the

police investigation into... No.

Interfering with police inquiries into
her disappearance and deleted messages.

Then what the family believed.

She's alive.

The lie of that.

Do we have a source and a secondary
source?

Yes, we do.

Have we spoken to Scotland Yard? Of
course. I even asked for a quote.

This is... quite something.

Channel 4 News can tonight reveal that
allegations have been aired that a

Metropolitan Police detective was put
under surveillance... by the News of the

World journalists, and his personal
details were targeted.

The former Crimewatch presenter and
detective, Jackie Haynes, has spoken out

the first time.

So, Jackie, you were approached by
Operation Wheating.

What did they show you?

They showed me various sheets of paper,
which I was told came from Glenn

Mulcair's diaries and notes, and...

sat there and read the extent to which
he had delved into my private life.

And it was quite a body blow.

I want to know who instigated the
surveillance and the research that was

us.

I would like to know how they got and
who they got that personal information

from about us.

I would like to know what the purpose of
it was from them.

Do you think there was an attempt here
to...

interfere with your ex -husband's
criminal investigation and if so what

evidence for that it's very difficult
when you look at the um the order in

things happen the chronology of this not
to at least want to shine a light on it

and say you know how is it that the day
after that appeal went out on crime

watch that this started to happen

And it's very difficult not to come to
that conclusion that they were somehow

complicit in all of it, or someone
within the organisation was.

Complicit in what exactly?

In trying to discredit David or myself.

Of course they didn't print it.

And so, it finally begins.

More revelations. The pressure on the
news of the world grows with another day

of dramatic development. Shocking story.
It is alleged that Glenn Mulcair hacked

into the mobile phone of the murdered
schoolgirl Millie Dowler. Well, this

girl's dead and they're trying to get
stories.

There is a new allegation that the
tabloid may have hacked into the phones

the relatives of soldiers killed in
Iraq.

If the actions are proved to have been
verified.

I'm appalled. I find it quite
disgusting.

Tonight, Chief Executive Rebecca Brooks
says we're told that she's shocked and

that she knew nothing about it. Today is
the anniversary of 7 -7. Relatives of

victims of the London bombings may also
have had their phones hacked into.

Somebody was listening to that. It's a
violation, isn't it? An extraordinary

moment in British journalism.

The news of the world is to close.

What happened happened very, very
quickly.

It's like a bomb's hit the place.

Those decent people up there have been
thrown out of a job today. The sense

everyone gets is that Rupert Murdoch is
getting rid of the news of the world.

in order to protect taking over B -Sky
B. I'm interested in those who were

responsible for being brought to
justice. Scotland Yard confirmed today

had received documents suggesting a
number of its officers were given

inappropriate payments by News
International.

Paying police for information is a
criminal offence. It's corrupt.

It's bribery.

David Cameron, former head of
communications, is arrested over

phone hacking.

The decision to hire him was mine, and I
take full responsibility.

There's an awful lot I'd like to say,
but I can't. The pressure is mounting on

Rebecca Brooks.

Both her and James Murdoch should be
leaving their desks. The Prime Minister

announced details of the independent
public inquiry led by Lord Justice

We'll have the power to summon and
question newspaper proprietors,

police and politicians.

I recognize the vital importance of
reaching a number of conclusions, and I

strive to do so. Rebecca Brooks, who
finally bowed to pressure and resigned

the past ten days, she's been at the
heart of the storm.

Now, she has decided to step away.

Assistant Commissioner John Yates has
also quit.

It is with great regret that I make this
decision.

The mighty Murdoch empire has suffered
its most humiliating blow yet, as it

suddenly dropped its bid.

To take control of B -Sky B.

Murdoch has abandoned his bid for B -Sky
B. But will he face wider consequences

in relation to the phone hacking
scandal?

What will come next in this show?

And I

heard, as it were, the noise of thunder.

One of the four beasts saying, Come and
see.

And I saw, and behold, a white horse.
