Detective Chief
Superintendent Dave Cook?

That's right. How can I help?

My name is Detective
Sergeant Slater.

I'm here to arrest you, Sir.

CHATTER

What's the charge?

Misconduct in public office

and of fences
contrary to section 55

of the Data Protection
Act 1998, Sir.

Misconduct?

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

What?

Go, get yourselves in.

Excuse me. Wh-What is this?

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

Give me my caution.

You do not have to say anything,

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

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

Anything you do say may
be given in evidence.

Is that your car? Yes, Sir.

I'm not a f*cking flight risk.

No, Sir.

Go.

RADIO CHATTER This car, Sir.

Have somebody get
that open. Right, Sir.

BREATHING HEAVILY

CLOCK TICKING

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

Of course.

We're trying to do
something a bit different

with the Daniel Morgan case.

Daniel Morgan.

Axe m*rder, 1985.

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

Not one you're likely to forget.

Mess of a first investigation.

Allegations of corruption.

Reopening this one?
Doesn't seem wise.

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

and the plan is, we're not
gonna f*ck it up again.

We wanna do a covert
operation and an overt one.

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

Bugs, mainly.
Surveillance of all kinds.

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

We want you to go on Crimewatch.

Purport to be the
investigating officer,

the homicide
detective in charge.

That's why we need
somebody of your rank.

And then there's the
connection with Jacqui.

DAVE SCOFFS Bit of
fun for the viewers.

It should just be a short op.

Form a small team to front up
the investigation in public

while we'll be working
in the background.

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

it'll make your
leads open theirs.

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

we just gotta get them
saying they did it.

I'm in. Fill me in again.

Great. Great.

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

VOICE DISTORTS: ..in
the rear car park

of the Golden Lion
in Sydenham...

I need a team of eight.

Two DSs, six DCs,

heavy on the female officers.

Less likely to be Lodge.

OK.

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

As far as they're concerned,

this is the only
case team, all right?

TAPS PEN Got it, Guv.

'On the 10th of March, 1987,

'Daniel Morgan,
private investigator,

'was m*rder*d in the rear car park
of the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham.

'He was struck several
times with an axe.'

Now, there's been 15 years of
investigation into his k*lling,

three previous operations,

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

We have some key individuals

we're looking to
particularly focus upon.

Number one, Jonathan Rees.

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

called Southern Investigations.

The 2000 m*rder Review
report into Daniel's death

stated that both the Met and
the Hampshire investigations

identified Rees as
a prime suspect.

He's currently
serving seven years

for conspiracy to pervert
the course of justice.

He had drugs planted
on an innocent woman.

Her ex wanted
custody of their son.

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

Sid Fillery,
Catford Crime Squad.

He was brought in to assist
with the initial investigation,

despite being friends with Rees.

Now, he subsequently
left the force,

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

Number three, Glenn Vian.

Really?

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

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

We believe Glenn may
have wielded the axe,

but the involvement
of Garry Vian,

number four, can't
be discounted either.

Number five, James
Cook, or Jimmy.

We're hearing he drove
the getaway vehicle.

And that number
six, Keith Sharpe,

stored it.

Now, I have command
to look after,

so I'm gonna be in and out.

But we're working towards
me making an appearance

on Crimewatch in
a couple of weeks.

ALL CHUCKLE Nice, Guv.

Yes, yes, yes.

On which I'll be looking
for more information.

Now, I want you to
build these names out.

I want to know every
connection, every motive.

And we build this
chain well enough,

we'll be able to
strangle them with it.

That understood? ALL: Yes, Guv.

All right, go ahead.

MAN ON RECORDING: 'Hey.
Yeah, we're watching it now.

'Yeah, OK. Bye.' WOMAN:
'Glenn, it's on.'

CRIMEWATCH THEME PLAYING

Crimewatch is remarkably
successful with cold cases,

inquiries which have avoided
detection for years -

or, in this case, decades.

In fact, this one
goes back to 1987,

but it was highly
controversial from the start,

as our VT shows.

ON MONITOR: 'Daniel Morgan
had worked for years

'as a private investigator,

'and according to
those who knew him,

'he was dedicated to his job.'

'You know why we're here.'

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

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

'On Tuesday, 10th of March,
the day of his m*rder,

'Daniel and his business
partner, Jonathan Rees,

'allegedly arranged to
meet a contact that evening

'in the Golden Lion
pub in Sydenham.'

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

'Yep. See you later.'

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

'and the two of
them drank alone.

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

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

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

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

'And did he go with someone?

'Or did he meet his
k*ller in the dark?

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

'which police think
were for his children.'

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

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

Detective Chief
Superintendent Dave Cook,

the reason this case has
been so controversial

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

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

finished up running
Daniel's agency.

'I mean, fishy or what?'

We acknowledge there
were some difficulties

in the early stages
of this investigation,

but I'm here tonight to
reinvestigate the case,

and we hope,
through this appeal,

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

So, how can people help?

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

Five zero? 50,000?

'Fifty.

'For any person who
can give me information

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

And it was an extraordinary,
cold-blooded k*lling.

He was k*lled with an axe
to the... to his head.

It was left embedded
in his head.

Even at this remove,

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

People always have concerns.

'But I would like to
make it quite clear

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

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

So, you can call
here in the studio,

or, if you prefer, direct
to the incident room

on 0808-157-0555.

Fiona. PHONE RINGING

And, in fact, people are
calling about that case already.

And let me remind you of the
bullying couple in Belfast.

Please, if you do
remember anything...

MAN ON RECORDING: 'Fifty grand.

'They're gonna need proper
evidence, ain't they?

MAN 2: 'The Met had their

'Hampshire had their
crack, f*cked it up.

'What, so now they've
given it to this...'

MAN 3: 'Who is this DCI Cook?'

It was good. You were good.

Yeah, we'll know by the
morning whether I was any good.

I was more nervous for
me than I was for you,

and there you were, a
consummate professional.

Ah, I was really
nervous. SHE LAUGHS

Nick liked you.

Did he? He did, yeah.

None of them can understand the


Now, you understand
it, though. Mm.

They want it done, right?

The Met's embarrassed, and
they want it done. Mm-hm.

You know, it was really
nice to see you at work.

People really respect
you, which is weird.

HE LAUGHS

Shut up!

as*ault by sausage roll!
You get 18 months for that.

I feel like you've just come
to my school, or something.

SHE CHUCKLES

Yeah, it was nice.

Come on.

MAN 2: 'See, I

DISTORTED VOICES

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

He must be living
in a f*cking sauna.

Anyway, boiler's
drowning everything out.

You put the bug
behind the boiler?

Plumbers were all
we could get in.

You didn't need to put it
behind the f*cking boiler.

Behind the fridge.
Behind anywhere.

What about the others?

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

Keith Sharpe is in Spain.

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

So, what's plan B?

Are you kidding?

This is plan F3.

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

Anything on the Crimewatch
calls? Nah, nothing.

Look, there is one other thing.

We caught one conversation,
not on the bugs,

on an intercept we can't use,

between Fillery and,
erm, an Alex Marunchak.

Fillery says he wants
to "sort you out".

Me? Yeah.

And who is this Marunchak?

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

Why would Fillery be
talking to him about me?

Southern Investigations
occasionally do business

with the News Of
The World via him.

It means nothing, but I want...

Yeah, I had to flag it.

You gonna let Jacqui know?

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

to sign some sort of
information release.

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

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

All the same, all the same.

It's fine, Dave.

These guys talk
big, you know that.

John, we're mid-investigation

as to whether "these guys"
m*rder*d someone with an axe.

Let me know when
you've got something.

The fallout from
this isn't over yet.

You've made a huge difference.

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

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

That's what all parents say.

JACQUI LAUGHS

Yeah, OK, OK.

KEYS JANGLE OK...

Come on, in through the
door. In you come. Shoes off.

David?

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

Sorry.

How was the swimming, kids?

Good. Good.

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

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

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

I know. Again.

Yeah, I owe you everything.

PHONE RINGS

CHATTER ON TV

Yep.

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

Hey, Bruce.

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

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

Hold on.

Who was the fastest swimmer?

You? Dad!

Go ahead.

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

'offering you a tax rebate.

'They were asking
for your address.'

And was the address given?

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

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

We've had a covert camera in
place since Jill was k*lled.

Back and front?

Just front.

Alarm to the local
police station? No.

We'll get that put in.

What about putting a
car outside the house?

HE EXHALES

That's... some cost.

Cheaper than relocating us.

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

it's unlikely.

You know, Jacqui was, erm...

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

I know who Jill Dan...

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

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

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

Let me get this straight here.

You've got four bugs

currently operating
in this case, yes?

Each one needs two officers 24/7

in three shifts.

That's six officers for
each listening post.

Then there's the
surveillance teams.

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

That's 18 officers
per bug, times four.

That's, what...


DPS are paying for.

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

You have our full attention.

Dave, we take threats to
officers extremely seriously.

Graham.

Hang on.

Guv. Morgan.

We can do something
useful, right?

Does Lockhart want that?

Well, he will if it
gives him what he wants.

The bugs are still active.

Let's give them
something to listen to.

Who do we stir the
pot with first?

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

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

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

pay him a visit
when he's not there.

Full blues.

Love to. And Graham...

these people are nasty.

Do not leave your card.

Always - and tell everyone,
always - give 'em mine.

OK? Guv.

come in and wait?

Do you have a warrant? No.

Then no, you f*cking can't.

HE CHUCKLES

Please tell Keith to contact
us at his earliest convenience.

'Pricks.

SWITCH CLICKS It's good.

It's very good.

What about the rest,
anything we can use?

No, not yet, but it's helped.

We're buying the house next
door to Glenn Vian. Mm-hm.

This, and other things like it,

they've triggered a budget
spend, which is really useful.

The house next door?

Yeah, Glenn never
leaves the house.

We'll get some better
bugs through the wall.

And I would like...

We need you to keep on
with these triggers,

if you've still got it in you.

I'll do what I can.

We'll catch these pricks.

Look, I just told you he's out.

Give him this card.

Works for News Of The

And why would he want
a photograph of me?

There is no conspiracy. We
didn't think he'd find you.

You didn't think...
he'd find me?

You're ex-directory.

They were combing the
tax records, but...

we were pretty sure we'd
know when they got to you

through the intercepts.

So they were talking
more about me?

Well, just that there
are 255 Cooks in Surrey.

Oh, Christ, look... Look,
d*ck, you're head of press.

Can't you give them
a call or something?

Director of public
affairs. And I did.

Phoned the press
room, shook it down.

Turns out they're
pursuing the rumour

that you're having an affair.

Me?

With who?

With Jacqui.

They're pursuing a rumour

that I'm having an

I told them it was nonsense.

There's a whole f*cking

I'm just trying to understand
this one tiny piece.

But you called this meeting.

Can you do me a favour?

Can you find out about a
man called Alex Marunchak?

You're asking ME
to dig? That's new.

What do you want with Alex?

How do you know him?

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

Greg Miskiw, the Rottweilers.

Rumoured links to the
security services.

Nasty links to more or
less everything. Why?

Ach, no reason.

Why do I think you're
concealing a story?

This is NOT a story.

All right.

How's Jacqui?

Much the same.

What does that mean?

You know, we had a...

When I was training,

we had a m*rder, and I
helped transport the body.

The constable I was
with said to me,

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

I said, "What are
you talking about?"

He said, "Sergeant Do I
Look Like I Give A f*ck?"

NICK CHUCKLES

Never been able to manage that.

You see, I like
being a detective.

Is Jacqui OK? Is it Dando again?

No, no, no.

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

This was a bad idea. Really?

Sir? Hello, Hari.

Guv, do you mind if I...

Yeah, sure.

So, er, Lockhart...

He's stepping back.

What?

Yes, family illness.
It's serious.

Right.

I know we haven't got enough.

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

admitted anything.

Well, they're careful
with what they say.

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

Yeah, but they're pissed off.

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

Look, you can either k*ll
it, Sir, or make it happen.

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

I think you should
take command, Sir.

Both operations, the
overt and the covert.

OK.

Let's arrest Sharpe.

Take him to Croydon.

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

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

Yes.

Turn the screw on
the lot of them, eh?

I'm with you, Sergeant.

Thank you, Sir.

KEITH: That was out of order.

You know that? All that fuss?

You better have something good.

What we're looking for is evidence
on the m*rder of Daniel Morgan.

HE SCOFFS Oh, f*cking knew it.

What we're especially
looking to find

is the car that was
used that night.

Everything points to you
taking that car for Jimmy Cook.

Turn that thing off
and we can talk.

You wanna do this
formal, I'll no-comment.

This is all off the
record, yeah? OK.

And no more house calls. My
girlfriend gets migraines.

OK.

So, what do you know?

BREATHING UNSTEADILY

I was nothing to do with it.

But I did take...

I did take - for Jimmy...

...pale green VW Golf.

Don't ask me the registration.
I don't remember it.

And I just... I only stored it.

So, who else was at the scene?

All I done is heard the
same things you heard.

Should never have taken
the motor. Jimmy's a c**t.

Do you know where they
acquired the m*rder weapon?

Yeah, they photocopied the receipt
and gave it me for interest [!]

Course I don't.

Jimmy did tell me...

Jimmy did say...

He said Daniel gurgled...

...with the axe in his head.

So Jimmy confirmed to
you he was at the scene?

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

"Daniel gurgled with
the axe in his head."

sh*t Jimmy up, that.

That's all.

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

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

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

No telling what could
happen to that pretty face.

Wind it in, Keith.

The Vians are nasty.

Jimmy's rank,

but Rees...

Oh, he's clever.

He can make things
happen. Lot of things.

Be a shame if anything
happened to you lot.

Why? Why was there a camera
pointing at our house?

I was making it stop.
Making what stop?

I was trying to, erm...

I was getting it sorted. What?

What are you...
Southern Investigations.

They've been watching
the house, Jacqui.

They've had a newspaper contact
of theirs watching the house.

I mean, I had it under control.
I thought I had it under control.

Someone's been
watching our house?

Look as far as I can
see, it's tit for tat.

They're just trying to scare me.
Southern Investigations are just...

How long have you known that
someone's watching our house, Dave?

I mean, it's gonna stop.

I mean, I thought
it HAD stopped.

I've been onto the top
brass about this. Wh...

How many people have
known about this?

I was making it stop.

Because you're the big man

and you'll make this all
OK? I should've told you.

You should have told me.
I thought it was a g*n!

How would you have reacted

if I'd have told you the
truth about what was going on?

I was trying to protect
you. This is protecting me?

Cos I know how you get,
how you've got since Jill.

You b*stard.

You b*stard. It's just...

I didn't mean that.

She was my colleague, and
she was my dear friend.

I-I'm sorry. She got shot.

I-I didn't know... And there
are cameras on this house,

and you've chosen not
to tell me about that.

Because I thought
they went away.

No, th-that was something...

days, but it-it was...

...it wasn't, was
it, Dave? It was...

reporters.

HE EXHALES

SOFTLY: f*ck.

Jesus.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ. Should I
phone your doctor, Jacqui?

Jacqui, should I phone
your... DOOR SLAMS

Cynthia Edmonds? Yeah, come in.

How can I help?

We are in the middle of, er,

reinvestigating Daniel
Morgan's m*rder.

Well, Daniel was before
my time at Southern.

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

Well, it was a messy place.

I never realised how messy.

If I'd known about Daniel...

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

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

You have?

What have they been
doing to you, love?

Well, as someone who worked
for Southern Investigations,

I hoped you might help
explain the relationship

between Southern
and Alex Marunchak.

Erm...

SHE SIGHS

When you work in that office...

...you get good.

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

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

Never too late. CYNTHIA CHUCKLES

You think you'd pass
the physical now?

Alex Marunchak. Erm...

Well...

A nervy, horrible man.

Big, but...

...he seemed little.

I heard we were always
bailing him out.

Bailing him out how?

Oh, his school fees,
credit card bills,

it all went across our desk.

Sid Fillery and Jonathan
Rees paid his school fees?

I heard Southern
Investigations did.

Why?

Well, like Jonathan always said,

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

And what were Southern paid for?

To dig for them.

In ways they can't always
dig for themselves.

Dig how?

Well, they're in the
secrets business.

Surveillance,
confidential information.

They've some helpful officers

that help with searching your
Police National Computer.

None of this is me,
I hasten to say.

I just sorted the
billing. But...

y-you know, it was
surprising amounts.

It was hundreds of
thousands of pounds.

I'm sorry, hundreds
of thousands?

Sir, we've got something
on the Vian bug

that needs your attention.

We think it's a g*n.

GLENN: 'Put the strap
over your shoulder.

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

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

'All right.'

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

'No, straight at him,

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

We should send it to
Forensics. RECORDING STOPS

Yeah, but we know what it is.

Should still send it.

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

We're gonna arrest
the lot of them.

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

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

so we don't have any choice.

We go in hard.

Armed response
across the board, OK?

Guv.

SIRENS WAILING

SIRENS APPROACH

What's this?

We have a search warrant
for these premises.

Yeah? On what
f*cking charge, eh?

Misconduct in a public office.

Put 'em in separate cars.

What, you taking me in as well?

Everyone. f*ck's sake.

SHOUTING CONTINUES

Stop moving! Stop

What are you, f*cking nuts?!

OFFICER: Show us your hands!

BARKING

We're here to talk to you about
the m*rder of Daniel Morgan.

Daniel who?

I had nothing to do with that.

No way. Not at all.

Well, let's jog your memory.

Daniel Morgan was k*lled by an
axe to the back of the head.

The Golden Lion car
park in March 1987.

With an axe?

f*ck, no. I had
nothing to do with it.

An alibi?

I cooked an alibi? With who?

Not my style, son.

What's he saying, eh?

That we had him followed? Why?

Why would a Scotland
Yard officer

in charge of a major
crime investigation

be turned off because a
couple of oiks in a van

were giving him a tail, eh?

Doesn't work, does it?

Does it?

No comment. No comment.

No comment. No comment.

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

'Great.'

Hey, kids. BOTH: Hey.

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

Where's Mum? Don't know.

HE SETS KEYS DOWN

Jacqui? I'm fine.

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

HE SIGHS, PHONE RINGS

Wait.

GRAHAM: 'Guv?'

Go ahead.

'Child p*rn*graphy found
on Fillery's computer.'

What?

They're saying it's
a significant amount.

And what about the g*n?

'Not found, Sir.'

Not at either Vian's residence?

'No, Sir.'

f*ck. But we heard it.

Yeah.

'Any other evidence?'

Nothing substantial, Sir.

OK. Thanks.

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

Thank you.

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

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

Of News International? Exactly.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Rebekah is very charming.

Gents. Why don't you head up?

We'll bring her in.

Right. Shall we?

BELL DINGS

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

David. Rebekah.

Thanks for meeting
me. It's an honour.

d*ck tells me you've got
quite the clean-up record?

Well, I wouldn't say that.

The British public
need people like you.

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

You're a powerful
advocate. We appreciate it.

SHE EXHALES

How can I help?

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

and I thought it worth
raising with you.

Who is it you're
concerned about?

Alex Marunchak has
what I would describe

as an uneasy relationship
with a team you worked with

called Southern Investigations.

They work for me? Not exactly...

Their work is heavily
subsidised by you.

They're independent contractors.

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

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

Stickler for the facts.

Well, we have active
investigations relating to them.

They have many criminal links,

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

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

Shall we?

This is a statement

from Cynthia Edmonds,
who worked at Southern.

She says she heard
that Alex Marunchak

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

and his debts serviced.

Private matters.

Private matters
that, in my opinion,

have led to a
distorted relationship.

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

you or them.

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

so I suggest your
accusatory "you"

be replaced by something more...

SHE INHALES

...general.

Four months ago,

when I was investigating
Southern Investigations,

Alex Marunchak was
asked to support them

in explicitly coming after me.

Your budget was spent
harassing me in every way,

leading to problems
for my family.

They followed me and
my children to school.

I wasn't aware of this,

but it is my understanding that
any attention you received,

and I apologise if it
was ever overzealous,

had little to do with you.

Rather, it was about your
partner, Jacqui Hames,

and her close association
with the Jill Dando case.

You can surely understand
our interest in her,

no matter how unsavoury
you might find it.

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

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

...that this wasn't
about Jacqui.

...I will investigate

our relationship with
Southern Investigations.

And what about Alex Marunchak?

Well, Alex, as d*ck
will tell you, I hope,

is a good reporter.

Any allegations about
his private life,

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

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

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

I will look into our clearly
uneasy relationship with Southern.

I'm so grateful you
brought this to me,

and for all of your service.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

You know, d*ck's quite right,

you are a remarkable
police officer.

Let's head
downstairs. Wonderful.

LIFT RATTLING

AUTOMATED VOICE:
'Doors opening.'

CHATTER

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

Once again...

Thank you for your service.

Never mind, Rebekah.

Happy?

Looking lovely, as always. Oh...

She knows the Commissioner.

She knows everyone.

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

ROBERT CHUCKLES

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

How's things your end?

Well, if you haven't
committed an armed robbery

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

Yours?

Well, m*rder's m*rder.
Lot of it about.

HE CHUCKLES

What you thinking, Robert?

We think that there isn't
sufficient evidence.

For any of them?

Well, the child p*rn*graphy
found on Fillery's computer,

that we can charge on.

The Vians, even with the g*n
sounds, it's insufficient evidence.

Rees?

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

couple of years
for each of them.

It's hearsay.

It's only hearsay and
guessing between the lines.

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

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

You're right, that is terrible.

HE SIGHS Come on, you...

you knew this wasn't enough.

So it's dead, right?

A dead duck.

I'm sorry.

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

...I'm sure of our answer.

The case is closed.

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

Well, the timing.
Very convenient.

Kind of thinking
that sends you mad.

But I understand the sentiment.

Surprising to have
had a DCS on this.

Leaning in, I mean.

Well, it's just...

It just bothered me, that's all.

Some cases get under our skin.

They do.

Thanks for the filthy coffee.

Yeah, my pleasure.
