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 the 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've just been
through an election campaign, and now we

a coalition.

Until today, we were rivals, and now
we're colleagues.

It's unusual.

It'll cost you.

All that work given to someone else to
buy life. 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... Ah, then
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? Yeah.

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 Macaulay. May not work with

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 defense 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 not here to
stand my story up. I wasn't saying that.

The idea is we further each other's
stories. Anything new we get, we know

the keeper of the flame.

We'll bring you in.

I'd say likewise. 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'd have found 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,

but that's not... And he's the hero in
this story.

I haven't told him the story. Well, your
eyes imply 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 bereaved 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 a list of the half, encourage them
to come forward, we can flood the

I can't see you as 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 court record.

So we can find the other editors who
commissioned him.

Come on.

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 spoken to 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 Clark 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 names.

I'm getting nothing.

Nothing? They're busy.

They're worried about reviving an
embarrassing story. They can't afford

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 call her AZP.

She's very angry.

They've ruined her life. She's leaning
into all this.

I don't... Yeah, of course you fucking
would.

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

I'm just also scared.

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 a witness, you

breaching the sterile corridor system?

Yes, I do, but I would say...

that this was a particularly difficult
set of circumstances.

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

witness protection handler. They can
sort out any problems you 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?

It's not always possible in every type
of form.

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

Eton appears on the schedule.

Mr. Cook, do you mind telling us how it
is that between the 23rd of August and

the 16th of September, you managed to
make so many calls without recording any

of them?

From memory, the vast majority, if not
all.

What to do with Mr. Eaton's welfare, his
domestics, stuff like that, nuisance

stuff. But you accept, do you not, that
the 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.

But the debrief begins on the 1st of
August. We can see that it's followed

next day by a call which is 15 minutes
long.

That one is logged. Then on the 28th of
August, there's a nine -minute call

which is not logged. Then on the 1st of
September, Eaton suddenly changes his

story. He says for the first time that
he was at the 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?

You're 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 embrace them with

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

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

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 farther from the truth,
sir.

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

Thanks.

Can you still win? Now that we lost Gary
Eaton, the entire case.

Rather than to win it.

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

nightmare.

And James Ward, our original supergraph,
was a rat to get better.

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 prefer 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 the news of the world rehired him.
R3 was released from prison while

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 lies. 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

this. Just busy time, busy head.

I'll alert some people.

Go back stairs.

I know this will spread.

The other newspapers, they can't ignore
this. They'd have to.

Jill? If he gets the quote from Corden,
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.

We'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.

Is 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, I could do what the fuck I wanted.
It's nice. I came in with a good story.

The brief was...

I don't give a fuck.

The news of the world meeting is more
fun than Guardian, wasn't it?

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.

So I like you.

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

at the Sun and the Screws.

You played recording?

It's cool.

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 want to 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 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
Sky 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 Davis. 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 like to back, financially, anyone
wishing to bring a case against the news

of the world.

Indemnify them against costs and
damages.

Max, that could be 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.

unfurled 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 is... 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.

You know, 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, 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...

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.

Hmm.

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 sorry about
was that I...

I damaged my family.

Once it was all... I

only basically told my mum.

Then they still found out.

And they published and I thought it was
her.

I think I said to her, you know.

That's been terrible.

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 issue's
here. You can see what you searched and

you searched it.

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

Not against the law 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.

So 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 if he... Oh, shit.

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

How could you let this happen?

How could you let this...

You take sugar?

Just half.

And a splash of milk.

Thanks.

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. It's just... 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 that's not 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'm taking my BBC hat off.

Genuinely. 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.

Filling in the time.

We should be...

aiming for a coalition of lawyers.

Coalition? In government, no. I have
other friendly lawyers with very high

-profile clients. I do actually know who
you're talking to. With the Sky Andrew

case progressing under your watch,
you're still not accepting their terms?

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 takes 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, well, I think he's tricky, but

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, the 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 it.

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,

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

I don't trust journalists, Nick.

Not anymore.

The name is important because it
undermines the one rogue reporter

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 Mischke is
dynamite. And you can print it?

Because it's been stated in court.

I have an idea who you could 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?

No. 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.

Voicemails. 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 in 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

boyfriend, his assistant, her publicist.

We analyzed my itemized 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 had 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.

Silver. Miss Q Anne Edmondson, chief
reporter, former news editor, current

editor. That is a culture.

A culture Coulson has created.

We can't survive this.

Just heard.

Good work, Nick.

Sheridan? Oh, Nick, they couldn't get
through to you, so, well, I don't know

how... Is it the kid?

No, no, no.

It's about your father.

God, I'm so sorry, Nick.

Yeah, Graham.

I 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 this.

I don't understand.

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

the crate... 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 that court.

This was supposed to be about Daniel.

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 Halkin 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

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.

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. Reith, 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.

Court rise.

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?

Agreed. 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.

It's time to stop. I need to stop.

And I thought a bit of fresh air might
be an order. No, I'm fine.

Well, you're not.

I'm all right.

No, you're not, mate.

There's someone I want you to meet.

He helped me.

I think he can help you.

Get showered, get dressed. I'm not
leaving until 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.
