Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,420
Emfleet Nick just called,
2
00:00:01,420 --> 00:00:03,185
they've got suspected human remains
3
00:00:03,186 --> 00:00:04,344
found in Whitney Marsh.
4
00:00:04,345 --> 00:00:07,344
My guess is this body was put
in there already dismembered.
5
00:00:07,345 --> 00:00:11,084
- To what do I owe this?
- I just thought you'd... like it.
6
00:00:11,109 --> 00:00:13,344
Why did my husband cook me sea bass?
7
00:00:13,345 --> 00:00:16,783
So you now just attack random girls
for literally no reason at all?
8
00:00:16,835 --> 00:00:19,705
- She made a joke about you and Dad.
- Sorry, Dad.
9
00:00:19,705 --> 00:00:21,402
And happy birthday.
10
00:00:21,403 --> 00:00:22,904
I'm getting stronger every day.
11
00:00:22,905 --> 00:00:25,832
- So he will never walk unaided?
- Come on.
12
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:27,728
I have a watertight case.
13
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:31,333
Given my story, I can prove that
I will be killed if I went back.
14
00:00:32,497 --> 00:00:36,247
We have a match. So, his name
is Gerard Samuel Cooper.
15
00:00:36,247 --> 00:00:40,173
The OIC on the case was
actually jailed in 2022.
16
00:00:40,198 --> 00:00:44,437
A guy that I charged myself,
a guy called Ram Sidhu.
17
00:00:54,518 --> 00:00:57,518
♪ All we do is hide away
18
00:00:58,518 --> 00:01:01,517
♪ All we do is All we do is hide away
19
00:01:01,518 --> 00:01:04,518
♪ All we do is lie and wait
20
00:01:06,518 --> 00:01:09,517
♪ All we do is

21
00:01:09,518 --> 00:01:13,517

00:01:13,518 --> 00:01:17,517
♪ I don't wanna be The right way round
23
00:01:17,518 --> 00:01:20,518
♪ Can't find paradise on the ground
24
00:01:40,518 --> 00:01:42,877
Like I said,
I don't know this guy personally,
25
00:01:42,878 --> 00:01:44,813
but everyone says he's fine.
26
00:01:45,687 --> 00:01:48,338
So as long as you work hard
and do the job,
27
00:01:48,338 --> 00:01:50,341
he's not interested in anything else.
28
00:01:52,304 --> 00:01:55,304
You finish at five today, OK?
I'll be waiting for you here.
29
00:01:57,304 --> 00:02:00,304
- Thank you.
- Have a good day, my friend.
30
00:02:21,624 --> 00:02:25,984
Question 15: how many
royal parks are there in London?
31
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:31,442
So, he was identified through
comparison with a DNA swab taken
32
00:02:31,467 --> 00:02:34,984
after he was charged
with a Section 47 ABH
33
00:02:34,985 --> 00:02:37,807
on July 16th 2019.
34
00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:40,019
All of his files are on COMPACT,
35
00:02:40,044 --> 00:02:43,680
and a quick squint suggests
they thought he had fallen into debt
36
00:02:43,681 --> 00:02:45,018
during the pandemic.
37
00:02:45,019 --> 00:02:47,701
His car was found parked
near the Elizabeth Bridge
38
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:50,503
two weeks after he was reported
missing by his wife,
39
00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:52,722
who we will be speaking to asap.
40
00:02:52,872 --> 00:02:55,515
We will also be speaking
to DCI Ram Sidhu,
41
00:02:55,516 --> 00:02:57,825
the original investigating officer.
42
00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:00,400
So, right now,
43
00:03:00,872 --> 00:03:03,603
I need all the original
investigation paperwork
44
00:03:03,603 --> 00:03:05,613
- inputted into HOLMES, please.
- Yeah.
45
00:03:06,189 --> 00:03:08,699
- Ditto with the 2019 assault.
- Guv.
46
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:12,871
And can we check who maintains
Whitney Marsh Car Park CCTV,
47
00:03:12,872 --> 00:03:14,624
how long they keep their video files?
48
00:03:14,624 --> 00:03:17,871
And if there's any data entry
at the car park
49
00:03:17,872 --> 00:03:20,330
- or pay online facilities?
- Sure. On it.
50
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:23,392
- OK, that's it for now, guys.
- Thanks, guys.
51
00:03:48,765 --> 00:03:51,019
You told me to tell them to shove it
up their arse.
52
00:03:51,044 --> 00:03:53,548
- Of course I didn't tell them that.
- So what did you say?
53
00:03:53,548 --> 00:03:56,805
- That you were considering their request.
- Fuck sake!
54
00:03:58,890 --> 00:04:00,298
It's the union, Jules,
55
00:04:00,299 --> 00:04:02,526
it's not a good idea
to back them into a corner.
56
00:04:02,527 --> 00:04:05,512
And it doesn't scare you
that even soft soaping them,
57
00:04:05,512 --> 00:04:07,448
dishonestly, as it happens,
58
00:04:07,448 --> 00:04:10,209
even that merest hint of dissent
59
00:04:10,209 --> 00:04:13,456
has caused my board
to be daubed with "racist"?
60
00:04:13,456 --> 00:04:16,559
Ah, it's obviously not ideal, but...
61
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,828
But what?
62
00:04:20,254 --> 00:04:22,168
They effectively pay our salaries.
63
00:04:22,169 --> 00:04:24,467
Oh, well, yeah,
64
00:04:24,492 --> 00:04:27,914
and what a catastrophic
fucking mistake that was.
65
00:04:27,914 --> 00:04:30,821
We're now all
in the thrall of sodding children.
66
00:04:30,821 --> 00:04:33,847
I mean, think back to when you were 21.
67
00:04:33,848 --> 00:04:36,297
Yes, exactly.
68
00:04:38,534 --> 00:04:40,534
I mean, seriously, Paul,
69
00:04:40,659 --> 00:04:43,330
they don't understand real life yet,
70
00:04:43,331 --> 00:04:45,660
with all its shit compromises and...
71
00:04:45,661 --> 00:04:47,658
and messy, imperfect solutions.
72
00:04:47,659 --> 00:04:52,159
And surely... part of our job
is to teach them about that.
73
00:04:55,358 --> 00:04:58,694
It's just an online course.
It'll only takes a few hours.
74
00:05:00,789 --> 00:05:02,990
Isn't it just easier to say yes?
75
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:13,542
You know what, it actually isn't.
76
00:05:15,109 --> 00:05:16,749
Because what will it be next?
77
00:05:16,917 --> 00:05:20,129
It's also not fair to us, sure,
78
00:05:20,130 --> 00:05:23,121
but much more importantly,
it's not fair to them.
79
00:05:29,585 --> 00:05:32,446
Marty. Marty!
80
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:33,749
Martin!
81
00:05:36,875 --> 00:05:38,467
Marty, please.
82
00:05:38,658 --> 00:05:40,417
I need to go toilet.
83
00:05:41,562 --> 00:05:45,562
Pickle! Mummy needs to wee-wee!
84
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:50,749
How bad?
85
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:52,442
Very bad.
86
00:05:54,142 --> 00:05:56,188
And what makes you think
it's getting any worse?
87
00:05:56,749 --> 00:05:58,129
Everything.
88
00:05:59,107 --> 00:06:00,780
And when you say "everything"?
89
00:06:01,362 --> 00:06:02,524
My dad...
90
00:06:02,729 --> 00:06:04,002
Mr Cooper...
91
00:06:04,949 --> 00:06:06,302
that place.
92
00:06:07,217 --> 00:06:08,285
The pub?
93
00:06:09,025 --> 00:06:10,749
And if I had a girlfriend...
94
00:06:10,749 --> 00:06:14,065
So, maybe we can up your dose to 100mg.
95
00:06:14,090 --> 00:06:16,214
I have the right to have
a girlfriend and...
96
00:06:16,239 --> 00:06:17,627
We're not going
down that rabbit hole again, Marty.
97
00:06:17,627 --> 00:06:20,588
Women can get a boyfriend
whenever they want, so...
98
00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:22,418
No woman has the right to have
a boyfriend,
99
00:06:22,419 --> 00:06:24,027
no man has the right to have
a girlfriend,
100
00:06:24,027 --> 00:06:25,676
we've been through this too many times.
101
00:06:25,677 --> 00:06:28,173
I'm just so tired of it.
102
00:06:30,421 --> 00:06:32,702
Not understanding anything.
103
00:06:34,518 --> 00:06:35,518
I know, mate.
104
00:06:37,518 --> 00:06:39,634
What did I do wrong, Dr Renfield?
105
00:06:44,795 --> 00:06:46,537
You didn't do anything wrong, Marty.
106
00:06:46,993 --> 00:06:49,020
And it's certainly not your fault.
107
00:06:49,259 --> 00:06:52,449
Life is just... unfair sometimes.
108
00:06:53,716 --> 00:06:58,147
So, I'm going to up your Sertraline
to 100mg,
109
00:06:58,172 --> 00:07:00,862
and I'm gonna refer you
to a new autism service
110
00:07:00,863 --> 00:07:02,709
being set up by Kent Council.
111
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:04,608
I should say that
it might take a year or so
112
00:07:04,608 --> 00:07:06,314
to get an appointment, er...
113
00:07:06,729 --> 00:07:08,759
they're a bit snowed under right now.
114
00:07:10,527 --> 00:07:11,652
So, we'll...
115
00:07:13,049 --> 00:07:14,689
...see each other in three months?
116
00:07:17,865 --> 00:07:22,000
I should say, raising the dose might
give you some side effects, Marty.
117
00:07:22,209 --> 00:07:25,388
Call us immediately if you start
to have any trouble sleeping,
118
00:07:25,689 --> 00:07:27,889
if you feel more anxious,
if you have any violent...
119
00:07:28,062 --> 00:07:29,862
- Dr Renfield?
- Marty.
120
00:07:31,835 --> 00:07:34,698
Duncan. Do you wanna come through?
121
00:08:13,649 --> 00:08:15,311
- Hey.
- Hey.
122
00:08:17,891 --> 00:08:20,754
I heard... Paddy was struggling.
123
00:08:20,862 --> 00:08:22,660
Yeah, yeah, he's not brilliant.
124
00:08:24,062 --> 00:08:25,902
Oh, Mel, I'm so sorry.
125
00:08:29,609 --> 00:08:30,765
You wanna...
126
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,926
talk things over?
127
00:09:16,402 --> 00:09:20,682
So, we only have one session
with this guy.
128
00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:24,438
But he basically tells us
129
00:09:24,438 --> 00:09:27,526
what sort of therapist
he thinks we need.
130
00:09:28,483 --> 00:09:32,668
So, see a therapist to see
what kind of therapist we need.
131
00:09:33,241 --> 00:09:34,112
Yeah.
132
00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:37,425
- Bit nuts, I know.
- You certainly are.
133
00:09:37,748 --> 00:09:38,929
Oi.
134
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:41,615
I'm sorry.
135
00:10:48,728 --> 00:10:50,234
Wanna get a drink?
136
00:10:53,202 --> 00:10:56,522
And I've... I've just asked
for the search to be widened, so...
137
00:10:57,375 --> 00:11:01,314
..it may yet be that
we do... find more of him.
138
00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:04,036
How could someone do that...
139
00:11:07,981 --> 00:11:11,412
..to another human being? How could
someone do such a terrible thing?
140
00:11:12,068 --> 00:11:15,200
It's pretty much always about disposal.
141
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:19,522
If it doesn't sound too absurd,
it's generally not personal.
142
00:11:20,921 --> 00:11:24,241
Oh, my God,
how am I gonna tell my daughter?
143
00:11:29,904 --> 00:11:32,307
And where was it you said
you found him?
144
00:11:32,332 --> 00:11:33,612
Whitney Marsh?
145
00:11:40,095 --> 00:11:41,895
I always knew he hadn't jumped.
146
00:11:42,955 --> 00:11:44,317
In here...
147
00:11:45,758 --> 00:11:49,814
...I always knew, and I told them,
I told them so many times.
148
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:51,198
The original investigation?
149
00:11:51,199 --> 00:11:54,509
I told them I thought
his death had probably been violent.
150
00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:56,840
OK, can I ask why you thought that?
151
00:11:58,704 --> 00:11:59,915
Because of the money.
152
00:12:01,455 --> 00:12:03,787
OK, sorry, can we just...
153
00:12:04,322 --> 00:12:05,998
can we just backtrack a minute?
154
00:12:07,254 --> 00:12:09,324
Women don't even like that shit, bro.
155
00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:11,314
They like to know who's boss, innit?
156
00:12:11,339 --> 00:12:13,099
They like a strong man,
157
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:14,856
that's just fuckin' nature.
158
00:12:15,108 --> 00:12:17,693
Smack them bitches up, man.
They're gonna love you more.
159
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,949
Hang on one second, dudes.
160
00:12:26,586 --> 00:12:28,839
Hello, Marty, how are we today?
161
00:12:28,969 --> 00:12:31,008
Fine, thank you for asking.
162
00:12:34,714 --> 00:12:38,117
He took on the lease of a pub
in Stepney in 2014.
163
00:12:39,969 --> 00:12:41,834
His uncle had managed it in the '80s,
164
00:12:41,835 --> 00:12:44,022
and it was a bit of a home from home
for Gerry.
165
00:12:47,326 --> 00:12:48,838
So, that was his main job,
166
00:12:48,838 --> 00:12:50,980
but we also had
three rental properties.
167
00:12:50,980 --> 00:12:53,155
- These where flats, or...?
- No, HMOs.
168
00:12:53,156 --> 00:12:55,311
Two had seven rooms, one had five.
169
00:12:55,721 --> 00:12:57,668
It was quite a lot of work, and...
170
00:12:57,668 --> 00:13:01,301
and we also had fairly large
mortgages on all three buildings.
171
00:13:01,301 --> 00:13:03,484
You had to be
on top of tenancies and payments.
172
00:13:03,485 --> 00:13:06,076
Sorry, you did this with him, or...?
173
00:13:06,101 --> 00:13:08,046
No, no, I work at Central London
University.
174
00:13:08,071 --> 00:13:09,370
Oh, right. As...?
175
00:13:09,371 --> 00:13:12,845
- A lecturer, modern history.
- Oh, OK, I'm sorry, carry on.
176
00:13:12,969 --> 00:13:16,114
Yeah, so, things were pretty tight,
177
00:13:16,115 --> 00:13:18,499
but absolutely manageable.
178
00:13:18,499 --> 00:13:22,143
And the first five years or so
in Stepney were great.
179
00:13:22,144 --> 00:13:25,752
Gerry had grown up near there,
in Bow, and he just...
180
00:13:25,969 --> 00:13:28,188
he just dived back into that life.
181
00:13:28,189 --> 00:13:30,377
Lots of local community stuff and...
182
00:13:32,932 --> 00:13:34,632
..yeah, he really loved it.
183
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:40,642
And then the pandemic happened,
184
00:13:40,642 --> 00:13:43,664
and it was just like a perfect storm.
185
00:13:43,665 --> 00:13:46,544
Obviously, the pub had to shut,
so that revenue went.
186
00:13:46,544 --> 00:13:49,854
And then the tenants, one-by-one,
stopped paying their rent,
187
00:13:49,969 --> 00:13:53,600
so we... we basically just got
deeper and deeper into debt,
188
00:13:53,601 --> 00:13:56,702
which is when he, without telling me,
189
00:13:56,702 --> 00:14:00,441
I should say... spoke
to a friend of a friend of a friend
190
00:14:00,442 --> 00:14:03,194
and started borrowing money from
people he really shouldn't have.
191
00:14:03,194 --> 00:14:04,325
Moneylenders.
192
00:14:04,326 --> 00:14:06,307
That makes them sound much more
respectable than they were,
193
00:14:06,307 --> 00:14:08,435
- I think they were basically gangsters.
- OK.
194
00:14:08,435 --> 00:14:10,736
And how did you find out about them?
195
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:15,166
So, he was attacked...
196
00:14:15,969 --> 00:14:17,612
early February 2021,
197
00:14:17,613 --> 00:14:19,337
as he was putting
the bins out one night.
198
00:14:19,603 --> 00:14:22,235
- OK. And you think by one of them?
- Yeah, I do.
199
00:14:22,498 --> 00:14:24,333
And did he say it was by one of them?
200
00:14:24,334 --> 00:14:25,745
No, but at that stage,
201
00:14:25,746 --> 00:14:27,970
I still didn't know
he'd borrowed any money, so...
202
00:14:28,122 --> 00:14:30,674
- And how badly hurt was he?
- Well, they didn't break anything.
203
00:14:30,675 --> 00:14:32,559
Probably too clever for that,
but he was knocked out.
204
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,874
- And you went to the police?
- I called them, yeah.
205
00:14:35,145 --> 00:14:36,165
And?
206
00:14:39,259 --> 00:14:41,246
Well, Gerry was obviously
not that helpful.
207
00:14:41,247 --> 00:14:42,904
In hindsight, he was probably scared,
208
00:14:42,904 --> 00:14:45,015
so, I mean, the police had
very little to go on.
209
00:14:45,016 --> 00:14:46,715
And it was only
after we rowed about that
210
00:14:46,716 --> 00:14:49,575
that he FINALLY told me
what was going on.
211
00:14:49,576 --> 00:14:51,426
OK. And how much did he owe them?
212
00:14:51,427 --> 00:14:54,460
By that point,
he said it was about £17,000.
213
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:56,858
And did you ever get
any names of these people?
214
00:14:58,101 --> 00:15:00,568
I think I only ever met
one of them once.
215
00:15:00,568 --> 00:15:03,920
Some guy called Markaj
came to the pub, asking for Gerry,
216
00:15:03,921 --> 00:15:05,372
five days after the attack.
217
00:15:05,372 --> 00:15:06,480
- Markaj.
- Yeah.
218
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,288
Looked and sounded Mediterranean.
I think...
219
00:15:11,460 --> 00:15:13,969
- Gerry said they were Albanian.
- OK.
220
00:15:15,551 --> 00:15:18,160
So... can you talk us
through what happened
221
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,738
the day he disappeared?
222
00:15:23,738 --> 00:15:26,549
Can I just take a break?
I need to check on my daughter.
223
00:15:27,641 --> 00:15:29,423
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
224
00:16:15,623 --> 00:16:17,706
You think
you have everything mapped out.
225
00:16:18,671 --> 00:16:20,521
You can see the next 20...
226
00:16:21,461 --> 00:16:22,883
..30 years.
227
00:16:24,581 --> 00:16:26,235
And then out of nowhere...
228
00:16:27,971 --> 00:16:30,240
..this thing happens,
and it shifts everything...
229
00:16:32,131 --> 00:16:33,131
..forever.
230
00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:49,193
I'm so sorry, I have to take this.
It's my producer.
231
00:16:49,615 --> 00:16:51,157
- Er...
- Yeah.
232
00:16:53,989 --> 00:16:55,861
- Gabe?
- Mel.
233
00:16:56,255 --> 00:16:58,564
Sending you an article from
the Express for your next piece.
234
00:16:58,589 --> 00:16:59,763
- Gabe?
- Ciao.
235
00:17:05,789 --> 00:17:08,280
And are you managing to get
into the shower, Dot?
236
00:17:08,305 --> 00:17:10,188
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah?
237
00:17:10,281 --> 00:17:11,040
Yeah.
238
00:17:11,065 --> 00:17:14,482
How'd you do that, then, if
you find it hard using your walker?
239
00:17:14,589 --> 00:17:17,788
- Does Marty help you?
- Yes, yes, he helps me.
240
00:17:17,789 --> 00:17:20,251
And how did you get
that bruise on your face?
241
00:17:20,251 --> 00:17:24,386
She slipped, silly-billy...
as I got her out of the shower.
242
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,604
Oh, dear.
243
00:17:27,352 --> 00:17:28,835
Yeah.
244
00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:31,330
Dotty old Dot!
245
00:17:32,435 --> 00:17:33,829
Marty?
246
00:17:34,356 --> 00:17:37,964
Do you wanna have a quick sit down?
Cos I just need a quick chat.
247
00:17:42,697 --> 00:17:44,919
So, look, as I've said before,
248
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,276
and I really do feel this
strongly now...
249
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:51,389
I'm not sure Mum's being looked
after as well as she needs, Marty.
250
00:17:52,093 --> 00:17:53,540
She's fine.
251
00:17:54,408 --> 00:17:56,691
- Aren't you, Mum?
- Yes, I'm fine.
252
00:17:56,716 --> 00:18:00,180
Well, I'm not completely sure
you are, my love, so...
253
00:18:00,918 --> 00:18:02,866
- I'd like to speak to social services...
- No.
254
00:18:02,891 --> 00:18:05,412
..and get them to come and do
a proper assessment.
255
00:18:05,413 --> 00:18:06,843
I'm not going into a home.
256
00:18:06,843 --> 00:18:08,891
We just need to make sure
you're safe, Dot.
257
00:18:08,891 --> 00:18:11,032
I can't leave him on his own.
258
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,728
- He-He... He can't cope.
- Mum, Mum, Mum...
259
00:18:13,729 --> 00:18:17,140
Look, all we need
is some more help here.
260
00:18:24,393 --> 00:18:26,697
- Cheese and pickle do you?
- Yeah!
261
00:18:29,891 --> 00:18:30,967
It's all right.
262
00:18:30,968 --> 00:18:32,743
- It's all right, Marty.
- It's all right.
263
00:18:32,744 --> 00:18:34,572
Ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh.
264
00:18:35,891 --> 00:18:38,064
The 24th was our wedding anniversary,
265
00:18:38,064 --> 00:18:40,931
and we were meant to be having
a meal together later that evening.
266
00:18:42,146 --> 00:18:43,855
It's OK, take your time.
267
00:18:44,608 --> 00:18:48,174
I got back from work at about six...
268
00:18:48,681 --> 00:18:50,360
..made Taylor her tea,
269
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:52,648
and then she went upstairs
to do some homework...
270
00:18:52,649 --> 00:18:54,291
Sorry, you lived here then?
271
00:18:54,645 --> 00:18:56,714
No, I bought this place after he died.
272
00:18:56,715 --> 00:18:58,775
We were living above the pub in 2021,
273
00:18:58,775 --> 00:19:01,980
- we had a... a two-floor flat there.
- Oh, OK, right.
274
00:19:02,452 --> 00:19:04,233
So, erm...
275
00:19:05,156 --> 00:19:09,399
Taylor went upstairs, and I started
cooking for myself and Gerry.
276
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,548
I'd expected him at about 6:30,
277
00:19:11,548 --> 00:19:15,481
and then when he hadn't turned up
by 7:30, I started to call him.
278
00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:19,599
Over the next four or five hours,
I called multiple times.
279
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,833
I called his friends, his family.
280
00:19:22,072 --> 00:19:23,767
Then I checked his diary and saw
281
00:19:23,768 --> 00:19:26,891
he was meant to be having a meeting
with a colleague from the brewery,
282
00:19:26,891 --> 00:19:28,181
so I rang her.
283
00:19:28,182 --> 00:19:31,214
And she said he'd rung half an hour
284
00:19:31,239 --> 00:19:35,921
before their meeting at four to
cancel, which was very unlike Ger.
285
00:19:35,922 --> 00:19:37,917
- And where was the meeting?
- Winchester.
286
00:19:38,509 --> 00:19:41,634
And then eventually, at about
midnight, I called the police.
287
00:19:41,635 --> 00:19:42,890
And what was their response?
288
00:19:42,891 --> 00:19:44,927
They just assumed we'd had a row
289
00:19:44,927 --> 00:19:47,428
and that he'd turn up
at some point tomorrow,
290
00:19:47,428 --> 00:19:51,139
even though I told them
that that wasn't... him...
291
00:19:52,410 --> 00:19:53,855
that wasn't us.
292
00:19:54,937 --> 00:19:58,715
I called again the following day,
out of my mind now with worry,
293
00:19:58,715 --> 00:20:00,002
and finally, that night,
294
00:20:00,003 --> 00:20:01,661
two officers came and took a statement.
295
00:20:01,662 --> 00:20:05,292
And you told them about
the assault and the loan sharks?
296
00:20:05,292 --> 00:20:06,732
Yes, of course.
297
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,525
And... And what was
their reaction to that?
298
00:20:12,553 --> 00:20:15,285
After there was no
credit card spending or phone use,
299
00:20:15,286 --> 00:20:17,265
they said they were upgrading him
to high risk
300
00:20:17,266 --> 00:20:18,928
and that they were putting
resources into it,
301
00:20:18,928 --> 00:20:21,176
but my sense was
their investigation was...
302
00:20:21,734 --> 00:20:23,473
always perfunctory, at best.
303
00:20:23,473 --> 00:20:26,060
So they thought, what,
he'd... just walked out?
304
00:20:26,061 --> 00:20:28,429
Until they found his car
near the Elizabeth Bridge.
305
00:20:28,896 --> 00:20:30,209
And then they decided,
306
00:20:30,209 --> 00:20:32,911
with a third UK lockdown beckoning,
that he'd jumped.
307
00:20:32,936 --> 00:20:34,464
But you never believed that?
308
00:20:34,464 --> 00:20:35,639
His car was by that bridge
309
00:20:35,639 --> 00:20:38,476
because one of our rentals is
a hundred yards from there, so no.
310
00:20:38,476 --> 00:20:40,934
And then nine months later,
I saw the officer
311
00:20:40,935 --> 00:20:42,922
who led the investigation
was charged with corruption...
312
00:20:42,922 --> 00:20:45,318
Yeah, and I-I should say
we are very sorry for that.
313
00:20:45,318 --> 00:20:48,329
And I asked for the case to be
re-opened, but nothing happened.
314
00:20:48,329 --> 00:20:50,766
So, no, they didn't exactly inspire
me with confidence.
315
00:20:50,766 --> 00:20:52,154
No, I can imagine.
316
00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:53,952
But... listen.
317
00:20:54,239 --> 00:20:56,233
Could we maybe pick this up tomorrow?
318
00:20:56,234 --> 00:20:58,649
I really think
I need to be with my daughter now.
319
00:20:59,626 --> 00:21:02,989
Of course. Yeah.
We're only over in Euston.
320
00:21:02,989 --> 00:21:04,697
It would be great if it were tomorrow.
321
00:21:04,697 --> 00:21:06,443
I'm in the office all day.
322
00:21:11,683 --> 00:21:13,139
Doreen?
323
00:21:15,170 --> 00:21:16,300
Doreen?
324
00:21:19,170 --> 00:21:20,252
Doreen?
325
00:21:21,303 --> 00:21:23,295
I-I'm going to get a job
326
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,493
so we can pay for more help at home.
327
00:21:25,652 --> 00:21:29,467
You don't need to get a job, Marty,
you won't have to pay for anything.
328
00:21:29,468 --> 00:21:32,652
Don't take her away, though.
We like it how it is.
329
00:21:32,842 --> 00:21:35,589
We just need to make sure
you're both safe, Marty.
330
00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:37,515
- Well, I like it here.
- I know.
331
00:21:37,516 --> 00:21:40,541
- I've always liked it here.
- Of course you have.
332
00:21:40,542 --> 00:21:42,202
Mum likes it here, too.
333
00:21:42,203 --> 00:21:44,882
- Well...
- A-A-And we need each other.
334
00:21:46,028 --> 00:21:48,956
Go on inside, or you'll catch a death.
335
00:22:03,508 --> 00:22:06,279
Thanks so much.
Taylor not at school today?
336
00:22:07,686 --> 00:22:09,298
She wasn't feeling too well.
337
00:22:09,602 --> 00:22:11,635
Call me as soon as you know
your movements.
338
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:12,595
Will do.
339
00:22:12,631 --> 00:22:14,432
I hope it goes OK with her.
340
00:22:16,550 --> 00:22:17,656
Thank you.
341
00:22:37,015 --> 00:22:38,414
What are you thinking?
342
00:22:38,415 --> 00:22:41,099
I'm thinking...
that's a very nice house.
343
00:22:41,442 --> 00:22:44,414
I'm thinking
the kid's at a 25K-a-year school.
344
00:22:45,347 --> 00:22:46,805
Thinking life insurance.
345
00:23:55,901 --> 00:23:56,879
Get out.
346
00:23:57,348 --> 00:23:58,169
What?
347
00:23:58,529 --> 00:24:02,197
Get out, walk back over there,
and apologise.
348
00:24:02,198 --> 00:24:03,599
- You are joking.
- Now!
349
00:24:04,347 --> 00:24:07,507
- This is not fair, Asif.
- Life's not fair, mate.
350
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,158
If it was,
my brother would still be alive.
351
00:24:12,565 --> 00:24:14,487
Now go back over there...
352
00:24:15,125 --> 00:24:16,471
and apologise.
353
00:24:36,009 --> 00:24:37,564
Killed by who?
354
00:24:37,870 --> 00:24:41,119
Well, that's what they're now gonna
try to find out, sweetie.
355
00:24:45,975 --> 00:24:47,326
Where was he found?
356
00:24:47,565 --> 00:24:51,540
In a place called Whitney Marsh,
it's about 15 miles east of here.
357
00:24:54,682 --> 00:24:55,582
And...
358
00:24:56,216 --> 00:24:58,503
what did they find,
just like a skeleton?
359
00:24:59,321 --> 00:25:00,845
Yeah, sort of, I guess.
360
00:25:00,870 --> 00:25:02,921
I don't really have the details
on that yet.
361
00:25:07,337 --> 00:25:08,575
Are you sure it's him?
362
00:25:09,682 --> 00:25:12,992
They did a DNA comparison test.
It's definitely him.
363
00:25:22,183 --> 00:25:23,393
How did he die?
364
00:25:25,493 --> 00:25:26,745
How was he...?
365
00:25:27,464 --> 00:25:28,942
They're not sure yet.
366
00:25:33,337 --> 00:25:35,337
It's OK to cry...
367
00:25:37,061 --> 00:25:38,821
..sweetheart, to be angry.
368
00:25:38,846 --> 00:25:40,612
You scream and shout if you want.
369
00:25:43,492 --> 00:25:45,166
Just always thought it was me.
370
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:47,491
What was you?
371
00:25:50,203 --> 00:25:51,674
Why he jumped.
372
00:25:54,666 --> 00:25:55,901
I just, erm...
373
00:25:56,436 --> 00:25:58,634
I thought he mustn't have liked me
enough to stay around.
374
00:25:58,635 --> 00:26:00,868
Oh, my God, no.
375
00:26:01,475 --> 00:26:03,475
He would never have thought that,
376
00:26:03,620 --> 00:26:06,839
even if that had been how he died,
he adored you.
377
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:09,369
Tay, you were his life.
378
00:26:17,620 --> 00:26:18,980
- Tay?
- It's fine.
379
00:26:19,274 --> 00:26:21,914
It's fine. I'm fine.
I've got homework to do.
380
00:26:27,627 --> 00:26:30,307
OK. Not too long on that, boys, OK?
381
00:27:26,914 --> 00:27:27,954
Hey?
382
00:27:31,147 --> 00:27:32,444
Jessie?
383
00:27:36,139 --> 00:27:37,139
Hey.
384
00:27:39,651 --> 00:27:42,705
Hello. How are you?
385
00:27:45,462 --> 00:27:47,002
I've missed you so much.
386
00:27:50,988 --> 00:27:53,325
I just was calling to see if, erm...
387
00:27:54,462 --> 00:27:57,462
..if maybe we could meet up,
just the two of us, to talk?
388
00:27:59,981 --> 00:28:01,301
I'd like that.
389
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:06,421
OK, I'll text you some dates.
390
00:28:06,794 --> 00:28:09,659
- Thank you.
- And maybe don't, erm...
391
00:28:12,249 --> 00:28:14,286
..don't say anything to Mum just yet.
392
00:28:14,963 --> 00:28:17,166
Of course, whatever you want.
393
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,461
OK. Bye.
394
00:28:29,462 --> 00:28:32,650
So, I'm...
So, I'm sitting at the bar, OK,
395
00:28:32,675 --> 00:28:35,674
and she's already
15, 20 minutes late by this point.
396
00:28:35,675 --> 00:28:38,239
And I look, and I see her walk in,
397
00:28:38,264 --> 00:28:40,904
and I sort of raise my hand,
and she sees me.
398
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:43,896
And then I actually see her eyes narrow
399
00:28:43,896 --> 00:28:46,507
in a kind of "hm, not sure" narrow...
400
00:28:46,507 --> 00:28:48,487
- No, stop it.
- ...you know what I mean?
401
00:28:48,487 --> 00:28:50,710
So, I'm sitting there,
I'm smiling and stuff,
402
00:28:50,711 --> 00:28:52,728
and I watch her walking over.
403
00:28:52,956 --> 00:28:57,328
And I stand up ready to kind of
shake hands, or kiss, whatever.
404
00:28:57,544 --> 00:29:00,969
And except about ten feet away,
she suddenly stops.
405
00:29:01,256 --> 00:29:04,419
And, you know,
I say hi and put my hand out,
406
00:29:04,420 --> 00:29:07,338
and she just looked at me and goes...
407
00:29:08,379 --> 00:29:09,929
- "..Nah."
- No way!
408
00:29:09,929 --> 00:29:12,315
I promise you,
and then turns around and walks out.
409
00:29:12,315 --> 00:29:14,585
- Stop it.
- No, I promise you. She just...
410
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:17,963
- "Nah."
- Oh, my God.
411
00:29:18,112 --> 00:29:19,939
And I'm kind of like...
412
00:29:20,551 --> 00:29:23,548
not even a kind of like
"Oh, you know, you're too short,
413
00:29:23,548 --> 00:29:26,021
"you're too old, you're too brown,"
nothing, just, "Nah."
414
00:29:26,046 --> 00:29:26,912
And then...
415
00:29:28,236 --> 00:29:30,359
And... and I don't know why, Lee,
416
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,418
but that was the moment
I decided to stop online dating.
417
00:29:33,419 --> 00:29:35,579
Yes, well, you know, good for you.
418
00:29:35,604 --> 00:29:38,174
Well, thank you very much.
Good decision, I think.
419
00:29:38,175 --> 00:29:39,511
I think so.
420
00:29:53,379 --> 00:29:55,379
- Jesus, what...
- Yeah.
421
00:29:55,423 --> 00:29:58,082
What is it? 20 pages, 30?
422
00:29:58,402 --> 00:30:00,758
24, including two blank sheets.
423
00:30:00,758 --> 00:30:03,323
So how long did DCI Sidhu get?
424
00:30:03,924 --> 00:30:05,141
Not long enough.
425
00:30:05,166 --> 00:30:07,392
Anyway, I've asked Fran
to go through it,
426
00:30:07,696 --> 00:30:09,695
and I thought we could do a briefing
with the entire team
427
00:30:09,696 --> 00:30:11,696
- straight after this?
- Yeah. Cool.
428
00:30:17,375 --> 00:30:19,746
- Thanks for coming in.
- Can I get you a coffee?
429
00:30:19,747 --> 00:30:20,876
Would you like a coffee?
430
00:30:20,876 --> 00:30:23,208
- White, please, no sugar.
- Black, please.
431
00:30:23,233 --> 00:30:25,745
- How you doing?
- All right, thanks.
432
00:30:25,896 --> 00:30:27,696
So that's it from me.
433
00:30:28,149 --> 00:30:31,696
Until tomorrow, good luck,
good night, and blah, blah, blah.
434
00:30:31,696 --> 00:30:33,895
Sounds very much to me like
you're trying to get our audience
435
00:30:33,896 --> 00:30:35,973
- to panic a bit there, Mel.
- No.
436
00:30:35,998 --> 00:30:38,621
Sounded a little bit Net Zero,
if I'm honest.
437
00:30:38,621 --> 00:30:40,568
Well, I guess when you've got
hospitals in Southern Spain
438
00:30:40,569 --> 00:30:42,303
where half the beds
in the burns unit are occupied
439
00:30:42,303 --> 00:30:45,516
by people whose feet got burned
by the pavement, Gabe, then, yeah...
440
00:30:45,809 --> 00:30:48,402
it's a little bit freaky,
is my "red hot" opinion.
441
00:30:48,403 --> 00:30:50,391
Our audience don't care
about your opinion.
442
00:30:50,391 --> 00:30:52,652
They don't care
about mine or anyone's here.
443
00:30:52,653 --> 00:30:55,835
- They just wanna hear their own.
- Yeah, but you hired me because...
444
00:30:55,836 --> 00:30:59,998
The only reason they watch us
and not Patriot or Chat or Info
445
00:30:59,998 --> 00:31:02,138
or any of the million others
out there...
446
00:31:02,704 --> 00:31:06,295
so we give them their opinion,
or we lose them.
447
00:31:06,499 --> 00:31:09,215
And then we're all out of a job.
So rewrite.
448
00:31:17,782 --> 00:31:19,092
When he died,
449
00:31:19,093 --> 00:31:21,566
the landlord of the pub
obviously took back the tenancy,
450
00:31:21,567 --> 00:31:23,689
so for a while, we were couch surfing.
451
00:31:23,689 --> 00:31:27,383
But over the next year,
I was able to sell the HMOs,
452
00:31:27,384 --> 00:31:28,351
pay off the mortgages,
453
00:31:28,352 --> 00:31:30,890
and there was enough equity left
to buy where we live now.
454
00:31:30,891 --> 00:31:33,239
- And what was the name of the pub?
- The Three Crowns.
455
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,466
- It's flats now.
- And did he have life insurance?
456
00:31:36,467 --> 00:31:37,761
Yeah, although I...
457
00:31:38,667 --> 00:31:40,866
I actually didn't even know
he'd taken it out
458
00:31:40,866 --> 00:31:42,950
until after he was declared dead.
459
00:31:42,951 --> 00:31:44,690
When had he taken the policy out?
460
00:31:44,691 --> 00:31:47,128
- 2015.
- And how much did it pay out?
461
00:31:47,129 --> 00:31:49,421
- About 400.
- Thousand?
462
00:31:50,133 --> 00:31:50,912
Yeah.
463
00:31:50,937 --> 00:31:52,443
And was there anyone else
that you were aware of?
464
00:31:52,444 --> 00:31:56,440
Any conflicts, disputes, rows
that you think we should know about,
465
00:31:56,441 --> 00:31:58,184
anyone who might have had beef
with him?
466
00:31:58,184 --> 00:32:00,477
I guess maybe one of his tenants.
467
00:32:00,478 --> 00:32:03,143
- One specifically, or...
- No.
468
00:32:03,168 --> 00:32:04,958
No, I mean generally.
469
00:32:04,959 --> 00:32:06,744
The houses were in deprived areas,
470
00:32:06,745 --> 00:32:10,109
and he often rented to people
living slightly on the edge.
471
00:32:10,110 --> 00:32:11,929
And it's like I said yesterday,
472
00:32:11,929 --> 00:32:14,155
lots of them stopped paying
during the pandemic,
473
00:32:14,156 --> 00:32:17,270
so, yeah, he had lots of disputes
with them in 2020.
474
00:32:17,271 --> 00:32:20,635
And do you have records of all
the tenancies from around this time?
475
00:32:20,905 --> 00:32:23,059
- Somewhere.
- Might need to see those, please.
476
00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:23,819
OK.
477
00:32:23,844 --> 00:32:25,951
And you said he was born
in Stepney, I think?
478
00:32:25,976 --> 00:32:26,964
- Bow.
- Bow.
479
00:32:26,989 --> 00:32:29,937
And what was his relationship like
with locals?
480
00:32:31,077 --> 00:32:32,397
Really good.
481
00:32:33,957 --> 00:32:35,178
People loved Gerry,
482
00:32:35,178 --> 00:32:37,663
I mean, you could stop a hundred people
on the streets where we lived
483
00:32:37,688 --> 00:32:40,455
and ask them what they thought of
him, and they'd all say the same...
484
00:32:41,098 --> 00:32:42,809
"Yeah, great bloke."
485
00:32:44,487 --> 00:32:45,221
OK.
486
00:32:45,246 --> 00:32:48,246
And then lastly,
how was your relationship?
487
00:32:49,087 --> 00:32:51,243
Our relationship?
Our relationship was fine.
488
00:32:51,243 --> 00:32:53,095
Can you elaborate on that?
489
00:32:54,485 --> 00:32:56,017
Not really.
490
00:32:56,598 --> 00:32:58,404
It was a happy marriage.
491
00:32:59,881 --> 00:33:02,541
- How did you guys meet?
- How did we meet?
492
00:33:02,566 --> 00:33:05,663
We often like to get
a wider picture of someone
493
00:33:05,688 --> 00:33:06,688
in a case like this.
494
00:33:06,689 --> 00:33:08,908
Small details
that you might think unimportant
495
00:33:08,933 --> 00:33:12,106
might give us a clue that
will help us in our investigation.
496
00:33:12,449 --> 00:33:13,926
We met through politics.
497
00:33:13,926 --> 00:33:16,061
We were both
members of our local Labour Party.
498
00:33:16,062 --> 00:33:17,228
And when was this?
499
00:33:17,710 --> 00:33:19,277
- Early 2009.
- OK.
500
00:33:19,795 --> 00:33:22,719
He'd just been through
a rather painful divorce, and...
501
00:33:23,174 --> 00:33:26,985
we met at a local election hustings
one night, and...
502
00:33:28,095 --> 00:33:29,467
..yeah, we just clicked.
503
00:33:31,347 --> 00:33:34,485
- Four months later, we were married.
- And Taylor was born when?
504
00:33:34,935 --> 00:33:36,724
Late 2009.
505
00:33:40,761 --> 00:33:42,721
OK, thank you so much.
I think we're done.
506
00:33:42,935 --> 00:33:45,527
- OK.
- Thank you.
507
00:33:46,935 --> 00:33:49,730
Yeah, nothing I can put my finger on.
508
00:33:49,935 --> 00:33:52,075
- But off?
- Oh, boss.
509
00:33:52,075 --> 00:33:54,215
There's no record
in any files I can find
510
00:33:54,216 --> 00:33:57,105
of Juliet Cooper asking
for the case to be re-opened
511
00:33:57,106 --> 00:33:58,921
after Sidhu was prosecuted.
512
00:33:59,219 --> 00:34:01,509
Yeah... off.
513
00:34:10,647 --> 00:34:12,606
So, obviously,
the initial investigation
514
00:34:12,607 --> 00:34:15,406
was more than a little flimsy,
with no indication
515
00:34:15,406 --> 00:34:17,757
anyone even attempted to identify
the loan sharks.
516
00:34:17,758 --> 00:34:19,377
Now, my sense is that
517
00:34:19,378 --> 00:34:22,722
that whole angle does seem
a little confected,
518
00:34:22,723 --> 00:34:26,807
but COMPACT does detail
an Erjon Markaj,
519
00:34:26,808 --> 00:34:28,294
who we will be speaking to.
520
00:34:28,295 --> 00:34:29,591
His family has lots of form.
521
00:34:29,591 --> 00:34:32,827
And I will be speaking
to Ram Sidhu later today.
522
00:34:33,074 --> 00:34:35,935
- Kaz, you have any luck with the CCTV?
- Yes and no.
523
00:34:35,936 --> 00:34:37,836
Camera's maintained
by Havering Council,
524
00:34:37,837 --> 00:34:39,778
- but they only keep footage for 90 days.
- Yep.
525
00:34:39,779 --> 00:34:42,828
But I did see that there were
a couple of notices in the car park
526
00:34:42,829 --> 00:34:45,704
about car theft, so I wondered
if it might be worth checking to see
527
00:34:45,704 --> 00:34:48,717
if there were any incidents in the
weeks after he was reported missing?
528
00:34:48,717 --> 00:34:51,738
Because that footage
might be preserved somewhere?
529
00:34:51,739 --> 00:34:53,781
Yeah, in a car theft case file.
530
00:34:53,782 --> 00:34:56,678
- And if the body was brought in by car...
- Yeah, good shout.
531
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:59,410
So he was reported missing
on the 24th of February.
532
00:34:59,411 --> 00:35:01,862
I'm thinking checking up
till maybe end of March?
533
00:35:01,887 --> 00:35:02,830
Go for it.
534
00:35:02,830 --> 00:35:04,066
So, as we now know,
535
00:35:04,067 --> 00:35:06,463
Mr Cooper was also
the victim of an assault
536
00:35:06,463 --> 00:35:10,228
in his pub car park
three weeks before he disappeared.
537
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,799
Murray, can you pull up
the CRS files on that, please?
538
00:35:12,824 --> 00:35:13,354
Yep.
539
00:35:13,355 --> 00:35:15,554
And also Cooper's own criminal record,
540
00:35:15,555 --> 00:35:17,300
maybe link in with Command and Control.
541
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:18,822
- Guv.
- Yeah, Sunny you
542
00:35:18,847 --> 00:35:21,422
- had a thought about bin liners.
- Hm.
543
00:35:22,201 --> 00:35:25,241
So, you're trying to dispose
of body parts.
544
00:35:25,242 --> 00:35:27,538
You need to transport them,
and so you're gonna wrap them up
545
00:35:27,539 --> 00:35:31,571
in bin liners to minimise evidence
being deposited in your vehicle.
546
00:35:31,571 --> 00:35:33,384
But then when you throw them
in the marshes,
547
00:35:33,385 --> 00:35:36,236
you wanna unwrap them
to accelerate the decomposition
548
00:35:36,236 --> 00:35:38,007
so they get eaten quickly, etc.
549
00:35:38,008 --> 00:35:40,716
And indeed, the little
that we found of the torso
550
00:35:40,716 --> 00:35:43,036
certainly suggests that went
into the marshes un-wrapped.
551
00:35:43,061 --> 00:35:45,523
My guess is that
we haven't found any other parts
552
00:35:45,524 --> 00:35:46,835
due to the same reason.
553
00:35:46,835 --> 00:35:49,620
So why would the leg have gone
into the marshes
554
00:35:49,621 --> 00:35:51,688
still wrapped in bin liners?
555
00:35:53,166 --> 00:35:55,837
- The killer was interrupted.
- Had to have been.
556
00:35:55,838 --> 00:35:57,321
A member of the public disturbed them,
557
00:35:57,321 --> 00:35:59,267
and they threw it in quickly
to avoid detection.
558
00:35:59,268 --> 00:36:02,177
OK. So boards up please, Kaz,
all along that path,
559
00:36:02,178 --> 00:36:04,478
asking if anyone saw anything unusual
560
00:36:04,503 --> 00:36:08,209
between February 24th, 2021,
and the end of March.
561
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:08,860
Boss.
562
00:36:08,935 --> 00:36:11,934
Murray, Juliet Cooper is supplying
us with their rental records.
563
00:36:11,935 --> 00:36:14,593
Could you compile
a list of all their tenants
564
00:36:14,593 --> 00:36:16,844
in the 12 months before
Cooper was reported missing?
565
00:36:16,869 --> 00:36:18,240
- Sure.
- And, Fran,
566
00:36:18,265 --> 00:36:21,116
can you track down
as many pub employees as possible?
567
00:36:21,116 --> 00:36:23,935
Ask them what their general
impression of the marriage was,
568
00:36:23,936 --> 00:36:26,595
if they know of anyone else
who might've had beef with Cooper,
569
00:36:26,595 --> 00:36:28,055
ditto the locals who knew him.
570
00:36:28,056 --> 00:36:30,889
- Maybe a board up there as well?
- Yeah, yeah. Why not? OK,
571
00:36:30,987 --> 00:36:31,980
thanks, guys.
572
00:36:44,761 --> 00:36:46,831
But you absolutely weren't drunk.
573
00:36:46,831 --> 00:36:48,866
You were nowhere near over the limit.
574
00:36:48,867 --> 00:36:50,725
- I know.
- You'd had half a pint.
575
00:36:50,726 --> 00:36:52,787
Colm Moyland was
three times over the limit.
576
00:36:52,788 --> 00:36:55,303
He drove through a red light.
It was his fault.
577
00:36:55,304 --> 00:36:56,828
Except now they're arguing that
578
00:36:56,828 --> 00:37:00,628
even the small amount of alcohol
in my bloodstream means that...
579
00:37:01,655 --> 00:37:03,717
..culpability should be shared.
580
00:37:03,742 --> 00:37:05,518
And if they can convince
a judge of that,
581
00:37:05,519 --> 00:37:08,251
it would mean I wouldn't be able
to make any claim on his insurance.
582
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:13,209
- So we claim on yours.
- Sure.
583
00:37:13,209 --> 00:37:15,288
Except now that my insurance are saying
584
00:37:15,289 --> 00:37:17,269
in the absence of any claim on his...
585
00:37:17,391 --> 00:37:19,778
it would mean
that mine would be invalid...
586
00:37:20,868 --> 00:37:22,729
..because of the half a pint.
587
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,531
How? You weren't
anywhere near over the limit.
588
00:37:30,181 --> 00:37:34,962
There's a clause
in the... small print, which, erm...
589
00:37:35,484 --> 00:37:38,674
means that they have
the right to deny compensation,
590
00:37:38,674 --> 00:37:40,432
on a case-by-case basis...
591
00:37:40,894 --> 00:37:43,635
if the driver has consumed any alcohol.
592
00:37:52,794 --> 00:37:54,199
Hm.
593
00:37:56,534 --> 00:37:57,534
Come here.
594
00:37:58,975 --> 00:38:01,575
We're gonna be OK.
595
00:38:01,575 --> 00:38:04,051
We are. We're gonna be just fine.
596
00:38:22,975 --> 00:38:24,311
DI Khan.
597
00:38:26,301 --> 00:38:28,747
Hands up, no excuses, we screwed up.
598
00:38:30,948 --> 00:38:33,076
Feels less like
you pursued the wrong leads,
599
00:38:33,077 --> 00:38:34,737
more like you pursued no leads.
600
00:38:34,737 --> 00:38:37,836
- Oh, we followed plenty of leads.
- Maybe you were otherwise occupied.
601
00:38:43,424 --> 00:38:45,423
Have you just come here to bask,
DI Khan?
602
00:38:45,424 --> 00:38:47,697
I take no pleasure
in where you find yourself.
603
00:38:47,918 --> 00:38:50,043
Come on... little bit.
604
00:38:50,196 --> 00:38:51,986
I mean, I did call you a coconut.
605
00:38:52,216 --> 00:38:54,015
Put your funny little DC on the deck
606
00:38:54,015 --> 00:38:55,687
and get your charges withdrawn.
607
00:38:55,688 --> 00:38:57,595
Got there in the end, didn't we?
608
00:39:00,081 --> 00:39:01,135
We did.
609
00:39:02,353 --> 00:39:03,319
So...
610
00:39:04,117 --> 00:39:07,598
how about we just agree
I'm a disgrace to the badge,
611
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:09,156
and then maybe I can actually help you,
612
00:39:09,156 --> 00:39:13,104
because... your pity's
slightly making me wanna puke.
613
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,320
- You are a disgrace to the badge.
- Excellent.
614
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,400
So...
615
00:39:23,984 --> 00:39:27,696
We own restaurants, dry-cleaners,
a few office spaces,
616
00:39:27,881 --> 00:39:29,071
but we're not gangsters.
617
00:39:29,072 --> 00:39:32,317
Your cousin is doing eight years
for drugs offences
618
00:39:32,318 --> 00:39:34,734
and your father did ten for GBH.
619
00:39:34,735 --> 00:39:36,289
My dad died in 2009,
620
00:39:36,743 --> 00:39:40,016
and my cousin is nothing to do
with our business.
621
00:39:40,016 --> 00:39:41,634
So you really felt
he jumped into the river?
622
00:39:41,634 --> 00:39:43,090
Or just walked away.
623
00:39:43,667 --> 00:39:44,840
You met the wife?
624
00:39:44,881 --> 00:39:45,795
We have.
625
00:39:45,796 --> 00:39:47,519
Firstly, my instinct was
626
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:49,909
that the marriage wasn't
what she painted it as,
627
00:39:49,909 --> 00:39:52,122
and that,
coupled with genuine money worries,
628
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:53,573
caused him to just leave.
629
00:39:53,573 --> 00:39:57,341
OK. So, how much did you lend him,
as a friend?
630
00:39:57,341 --> 00:40:00,450
12,000, which he paid back
with an interest of five.
631
00:40:00,450 --> 00:40:02,356
My guess was he had borrowed money,
632
00:40:02,357 --> 00:40:04,595
and of course,
it's possible they killed him,
633
00:40:04,595 --> 00:40:07,438
but again, my instinct was that
that wasn't the case.
634
00:40:07,439 --> 00:40:10,880
- Why?
- Firstly, she was pushing that too hard.
635
00:40:10,881 --> 00:40:14,432
She must have called my office half
a dozen times to push that angle.
636
00:40:14,457 --> 00:40:15,740
Maybe because you didn't do anything.
637
00:40:15,741 --> 00:40:17,969
Because it didn't make sense.
Dead men don't pay debts.
638
00:40:17,970 --> 00:40:20,965
Even if we were
that kind of organisation,
639
00:40:20,965 --> 00:40:22,812
why would we have him killed?
640
00:40:23,136 --> 00:40:25,758
Dead men don't pay debts.
You want a theory?
641
00:40:25,948 --> 00:40:27,091
I'll give you a theory.
642
00:40:27,092 --> 00:40:29,673
There was an assault on Cooper
a few weeks before he died.
643
00:40:29,673 --> 00:40:32,632
I'd ask why the wife was so keen
to point the finger at us.
644
00:40:32,990 --> 00:40:35,300
One of his bar managers,
a Chinese girl,
645
00:40:35,499 --> 00:40:37,381
reckoned it was committed by a lad
646
00:40:37,381 --> 00:40:40,501
that Cooper employed the previous
year but who'd not got furlough.
647
00:40:40,502 --> 00:40:45,015
I'd ask... how happy she was knowing
that he was with another woman.
648
00:40:45,517 --> 00:40:46,573
What other woman?
649
00:40:46,598 --> 00:40:48,296
- You know his name?
- No.
650
00:40:48,321 --> 00:40:50,625
But apparently, the lad had
threatened him a couple of times.
651
00:40:50,626 --> 00:40:52,239
The one always waiting in the car
652
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:54,763
when he was dropping off
his repayments.
653
00:40:54,764 --> 00:40:57,312
If I was you, I'd be looking for her.
654
00:40:57,924 --> 00:41:00,057
If I were you, I'd be looking for him.
655
00:41:03,422 --> 00:41:07,776
- I appreciate your help, Mr Sidhu.
- Pfft, "Mr".
656
00:41:09,090 --> 00:41:10,298
It's classy.
657
00:41:14,252 --> 00:41:15,378
We're done here.
658
00:41:21,252 --> 00:41:23,872
But, listen, if you need any more help.
659
00:41:24,785 --> 00:41:26,109
Indeed.
660
00:41:26,913 --> 00:41:28,918
And I certainly know
where to find you, don't I?
661
00:41:37,069 --> 00:41:39,108
But right now, this is BNC
662
00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:42,150
It's seven o'clock,
yes, it's time for Mel's Minute.
663
00:41:47,354 --> 00:41:49,187
Well, face masks may be gone,
664
00:41:49,212 --> 00:41:51,212
lockdowns, for now,
a thing of the past.
665
00:41:51,302 --> 00:41:53,395
But if you thought that
the wokerati would let you get on
666
00:41:53,420 --> 00:41:55,577
with simply enjoying life,
well, think again.
667
00:41:55,578 --> 00:41:58,231
This week, we saw more
highly questionable data released
668
00:41:58,256 --> 00:42:01,295
informing us that we are literally
going to burn in hell
669
00:42:01,296 --> 00:42:03,439
if we don't give up our cars,
our holidays abroad,
670
00:42:03,439 --> 00:42:06,093
and, heck, they even have it in
for my little, old log burner.
671
00:42:06,094 --> 00:42:08,069
And as I sit here
and look outside my window
672
00:42:08,070 --> 00:42:10,350
on this May evening
to see the frost outside,
673
00:42:10,381 --> 00:42:13,193
and I pull on my jumper,
I ask myself two questions.
674
00:42:13,259 --> 00:42:15,454
Why are the climate change
clap-trappers lying to us?
675
00:42:15,455 --> 00:42:19,161
And why, if the world is
now boiling, am I so frigging cold?
676
00:42:19,186 --> 00:42:21,315
Well, the answer
to the first question is
677
00:42:21,316 --> 00:42:23,576
because if we're in a state
of perpetual fear and panic,
678
00:42:23,577 --> 00:42:24,960
then we're so much easier to control.
679
00:42:24,961 --> 00:42:26,998
If the pandemic taught us anything,
680
00:42:26,999 --> 00:42:29,702
it's that governments globe
love to keep us under their thumb.
681
00:42:29,703 --> 00:42:31,407
And the answer
to the second question is
682
00:42:31,407 --> 00:42:34,023
I'm cold
because that's how climate works.
683
00:42:34,023 --> 00:42:37,496
It is unpredictable,
always has been, always will be.
684
00:42:37,496 --> 00:42:40,396
To coin a phrase,
"Sometimes, it snows in April."
685
00:42:40,397 --> 00:42:42,210
So until next time,
686
00:42:42,210 --> 00:42:44,441
good luck, good night, and God bless.
687
00:42:44,479 --> 00:42:46,956
Now... where are my matches?
688
00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:50,456
- That is so true.
- So true.
689
00:42:50,457 --> 00:42:51,625
Thank you, Mel.
690
00:42:51,746 --> 00:42:54,498
Thanks, Mel,
and thank you for watching.
691
00:42:54,796 --> 00:42:56,771
This has been Britannia News.
692
00:42:57,699 --> 00:42:59,699
In Newcastle today, further unrest...
693
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,173
They are compromising, Juliet,
694
00:43:46,198 --> 00:43:48,658
all they want to do now
is meet with you and talk.
695
00:43:48,658 --> 00:43:51,377
They want to lecture me,
Paul, we both know that.
696
00:43:51,378 --> 00:43:53,451
- They want to judge me.
- They really don't.
697
00:43:53,451 --> 00:43:55,450
Paul, it's the union's core skill.
698
00:43:55,451 --> 00:43:59,450
They want to judge me and wag
their pompous little fingers...
699
00:43:59,451 --> 00:44:01,187
Please, help me here.
700
00:44:01,589 --> 00:44:02,758
My hands are tied.
701
00:44:02,783 --> 00:44:05,251
You've tied them yourself by
just taking this shit for too long.
702
00:44:05,252 --> 00:44:07,529
I'm doing you a favour.
I'm saying enough.
703
00:44:08,143 --> 00:44:09,769
You should be grateful.
704
00:44:14,631 --> 00:44:17,173
I know this is
the life that I chose, Mother,
705
00:44:17,173 --> 00:44:18,784
I know it's my fault.
706
00:44:18,785 --> 00:44:20,302
I was just hoping, for once,
707
00:44:20,303 --> 00:44:22,544
just, you know,
once, a little bit of empathy.
708
00:44:22,545 --> 00:44:25,672
We don't really do empathy,
darling, do we?
709
00:44:25,673 --> 00:44:28,028
And given you've rather made
a living out of that,
710
00:44:28,029 --> 00:44:30,467
it's a bit rich expecting it yourself.
711
00:44:30,468 --> 00:44:32,457
Well, I'll say good night, then.
712
00:44:32,783 --> 00:44:36,014
I'm sure you've got some vinegar
you'd like to take a long soak in.
713
00:44:36,015 --> 00:44:37,531
Before you go, sweetie...
714
00:44:37,850 --> 00:44:40,935
did you hear about that man
we met you with at the Oaks?
715
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,090
- What man?
- Hm.
716
00:44:42,090 --> 00:44:43,983
He was in the paper yesterday, I...
717
00:44:43,983 --> 00:44:46,266
I recognised him from the photo.
718
00:44:46,267 --> 00:44:49,303
- What man?
- Gerard Cooper?
719
00:44:52,289 --> 00:44:54,329
Gerard? Wow, that's a long time.
720
00:44:54,823 --> 00:44:56,930
Why was he in the paper?
721
00:44:57,106 --> 00:44:59,949
They found his body
out in Whitney Marsh.
722
00:45:00,027 --> 00:45:02,745
It says they're launching
a murder investigation.
723
00:45:06,609 --> 00:45:08,969
- Melinda?
- Yeah, sorry, I'm just...
724
00:45:10,603 --> 00:45:11,903
..just in shock.
725
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,783
You used to love our picnics
out in Whitney
726
00:45:14,783 --> 00:45:16,666
when you were a little girl,
didn't you?
727
00:45:18,783 --> 00:45:21,303
I've gotta go, Mother.
I-I'll talk to you next week.
728
00:45:24,783 --> 00:45:27,982
So many have fallen
for the corrupt and evil narrative
729
00:45:27,983 --> 00:45:29,782
that has long been broadcast...
730
00:46:02,242 --> 00:46:04,521
Please leave a message after the tone.
731
00:46:04,522 --> 00:46:07,660
Hi, it's Melinda Ricci.
732
00:46:08,917 --> 00:46:10,289
So, I just wanted to let you know
733
00:46:10,290 --> 00:46:13,576
that if you say anything to anyone
that brings people to my door...
734
00:46:15,389 --> 00:46:16,621
..you will regret it.
735
00:46:19,497 --> 00:46:22,371
Message deleted.
736
