00:00Previously on the hack, think who edited the paper.
00:05Think about where he sits now.
00:07I mean, I know Andy Coulson.
00:08But him sitting next to the Prime Minister,
00:10that's wrong in every way.
00:11The police have Mulcair's notebooks.
00:13If we can get them into the public eye,
00:15we'll see who hired who, how high this goes,
00:17who was being hacked.
00:18Just be safe with yourself.
00:20Just be safe.
00:21It's the Daniel Morgan case.
00:23We've had some witnesses finally come forward.
00:25You cannot be taking phone calls from a protected witness
00:29from today you will have no further contact with Gary Eden whatsoever.
00:33Max, we've got them on the rack.
00:34You've settled, the whole thing gets covered up again.
00:36You've got them on the rack. With what?
00:38The Murdochs agreed to pay Clifford more than a million pounds.
00:41Our biggest gun was spiked.
00:47Our Liberal Conservative government will take Britain
00:50in a historic new direction.
00:52A direction of hope and unity, conviction and common purpose.
00:56I'm delighted to be standing here with the new Deputy Prime Minister.
01:01And I would like now to invite him to speak to us
01:04on what I think is a remarkable and very welcome day.
01:09Thank you, David.
01:10We've just been through an election campaign
01:13and now we have a coalition.
01:15Until today, we were rivals.
01:18It is unusual.
01:19It will cost you all that work given to someone else's byline.
01:25I'm finding it a little bit hard to get my head around.
01:28Look.
01:29The BBC are playing it on repeat.
01:31I've watched it 15 times. It was sickening the first time.
01:34Andy Coulson now sits at the right-hand side of God.
01:37There's a direct link between Number 10 and Murdoch.
01:40I don't like that whisper chain. We need our...
01:42We need our own coalition.
01:44We need allies.
01:45We have allies.
01:46I'm assembling a huge team of lawyers.
01:48People are working together.
01:49We need allies in the press.
01:51Yeah, I think I've tried. Nobody will touch it.
01:55Um...
01:56Well, they weren't on Fleet Street, but...
01:59I've always thought a lot of Glen Campbell.
02:02I think Panorama will bite.
02:04No, no, no. The BBC won't risk a battle with Murdoch.
02:06Well, then there's Dispatches, maybe,
02:08and internationally, Bill Keller.
02:11You can't think the New York Times would want to be involved.
02:14Murdoch's hold on the Wall Street Journal is galling to Bill.
02:17I think he could...
02:18Well, I've got resources, of course, but...
02:21Alan, they won't share back.
02:24TV hacks, man, the New York Times.
02:26This will always be your story, Nick.
02:29No, it's bigger than that.
02:31Me.
02:33Oh, I can't make friends at school. Why not a pen pal?
02:38I get it.
02:39Yeah.
02:43Yeah, I get it.
02:44It's a good idea.
02:45It's a necessary idea.
02:50Good.
02:52So, Nick Davis and The Guardian are losing the exclusive,
02:55but winning the war.
02:58Steve?
02:59Yeah.
03:00I'm aware that it has taken a few years to get to this point,
03:13and many of us are eager to draw these pretrial hearings to a close.
03:30But I'm afraid a new matter has arisen that requires our attention.
03:35Last night, an application was made by the counsel for the defendants
03:40as regards a possible irregularity in the conduct of this investigation
03:44in relation to the prosecution witness, Mr. Gary Eaton.
03:50In order to resolve this, it is my view that we must spend some time
03:54hearing evidence directly from DCS David Cook and the officers in his team,
04:00which will begin on Monday.
04:08These rules are ridiculous.
04:10They are tight on this one.
04:11No conferring me colleagues.
04:13I may not work with these officers day in, day out.
04:15They don't want you to prepare, basically.
04:17It's known as an ambush defense.
04:18And they want me to tell them everything about Gary Eaton.
04:21But the suspects are sitting right there.
04:23Look, if the judge does decide to lose Gary Eaton's evidence,
04:27it would be a significant setback.
04:30Oh, losing Gary Eaton would be a fucking disaster.
04:34So we do what the judge tells us to.
04:37All you have to do is answer the questions.
04:39Dave will be fine.
04:41He's good in the spotlight.
04:43And while you sit in the spotlight, boy scout behavior.
04:46Day in, day out. Agreed?
04:48The defense could put you under surveillance.
04:50They could track your car, your phone.
04:52They'd love nothing more than to catch you out.
04:54These men have been under arrest for over a year.
04:59This is a fucking farce.
05:00Nothing to do with truth.
05:01Nothing to do with justice.
05:05We do the best we can within the system we've got.
05:17What do you call three Pulitzer Prize winners sitting in a row?
05:20A murder? An ambush? An armada?
05:24Do you really call them help?
05:27This is, uh, quite something.
05:29It's remarkable journalism, Nick.
05:32Any sense they're doing it in America, too?
05:34A few suspected names. Nothing firm. It's all in there.
05:39You have no one on record from News of the World?
05:41No.
05:42But plenty off the record. Am I right?
05:45She's trying to get you to reveal who your Mr. Apollo is.
05:48Oh, I see. You think he's a News International insider.
05:51Interesting.
05:53Um, but no, not sharing.
05:55And frankly, even if I wanted to, he's disappeared.
05:58Do you have an angle, the...
06:01your paper?
06:02You know, Bill's instincts were, uh, royal family, Murdoch's, press intrusion.
06:06In that order.
06:07We'll find our way.
06:08It's important no one can say that we colluded with you,
06:10or we're babyfed just to stand your story up.
06:13You're not here to stand my story.
06:15I wasn't saying that.
06:16The idea is we further each other's stories.
06:18Anything new we get, we know you're the keeper of the flame.
06:22We'll bring you in.
06:25Might say likewise, but I've given you all I have.
06:27I don't know when this started, either.
06:53Um, you might get a call from the New York Times in the next two days.
07:12New York Times? Fancy.
07:14They're getting involved, we're giving them what we have.
07:17Two newspapers are better than one.
07:20You know, Nick, when I look at the kids who come round for play dates,
07:24I instinctively know who are good at sharing and who aren't, and you...
07:29Alan thinks it's a good idea. I think it's a good idea.
07:31You aren't very good at sharing at all. Why are you?
07:33I'm not done.
07:35They'll do their thing.
07:37It actually makes it easier to pursue.
07:41Now, I was actually quite good at football as a kid,
07:44so that's what I would have done at your play date.
07:46I'd have found a ball and kicked it. I didn't care about toys.
07:48Anyway, I have an idea.
07:50So, Harry Evans wrote in his memoir about a plane crash.
07:54I don't know Harry Evans.
07:56Editor of the Sunday Times, from 1967 to 81.
07:59Newspaper legend.
08:00Doesn't that mean he worked for Murdoch?
08:01Oh, they didn't get on.
08:02Murdoch fired him.
08:03Eventually. Actually, first he promoted him,
08:05gave him editorship of the Times, but that's not...
08:07And he's the hero in this story.
08:08I haven't told the story.
08:09Well, your eyes imply he's the hero.
08:10So, DC-10 in Paris, a passenger jet,
08:13there was clearly a problem with the manufacture of the plane,
08:16but Harry couldn't print.
08:17Without evidence?
08:18Exactly.
08:19So, Harry got his reporters to intervene,
08:21linked the bereaved families with highly effective lawyers
08:24in the US because US courts were more likely
08:26to order McDonnell Douglas to disclose internal paperwork.
08:30My plan is to do the same.
08:31Haven't we already tried that with Max Clifford?
08:33No, no. Then you involved me, in your case, very kindly.
08:37Now I'm going to recruit for you.
08:40So, they bribed Max.
08:42They won't be able to stop an army of people.
08:45If I can get a list of the hat,
08:47encourage them to come forward, we can flood the courts.
08:53I can't see you as a footballer.
08:55Fuck off.
08:56Look, Andy Coulson created a culture at the News of the World.
08:59To prove he did so, we need to get as many of his top journalists
09:02implicated as possible.
09:03Mulcair's notes had Clive Goodman's name written
09:06at the top's court record.
09:08So if we can find the other editors who commissioned him...
09:12Come on.
09:13It's time to get nuclear, don't you think?
09:17The inevitable dig followed.
09:19I had to identify, with the help of my furry friend,
09:22every celebrity politician and sports star they'd gone after.
09:25High-ranking, the low-ranking.
09:27The illustrious, the audacious.
09:29And then, I had to persuade those people to fight,
09:33like MP Tessa Jowell.
09:35Yes, I have been spoken to by the police.
09:37All the dirt they had on your ex-husband came from hacking.
09:40And ruined my marriage, I am aware.
09:42I'd like to publish an article about your experiences,
09:45and I'd like you to consider pursuing it further in court.
09:48I have good lawyer recommendations.
09:49But that would mean staring it up.
09:51We've struggled enough.
09:52Please, leave it alone.
09:55I had proof that Charles Clarke had been hacked.
09:58I told a friend who knew him to tell him.
10:00My friend said...
10:01He's not willing to engage.
10:02With Charlotte's help, I identified a dozen law firms
10:05who specialized in representing celebrities.
10:07I contacted all of them.
10:09I wish I could tell you their names.
10:11I'm getting nothing.
10:12Nothing?
10:13They're busy.
10:14They're worried about reviving an embarrassing story.
10:17They can't afford it, but mostly...
10:20Mostly, they're frightened.
10:23I've heard rumors about Nicole Kidman.
10:27Hello, Charlotte.
10:28Nice to meet you.
10:29A charming lawyer. How nice.
10:32Nicole's lawyer is John Kelly.
10:35Have you met John Kelly?
10:38No.
10:39She wasn't warned by the police, and no.
10:42She won't be meeting with you.
10:44Or any other journalist.
10:46Mr. Kelly, this is worth pursuing.
10:48For Nicole, for all your clients.
10:49It's still a no, I'm afraid.
10:51A hard no.
10:53Our trustees say no.
10:55Mark Thompson came about because two of his clients,
10:57one of whom was Big Brother's Jade Goody, had been hacked.
11:00Jade had died of cancer.
11:02They're not interested in pursuing a case.
11:04Perhaps I could talk to them.
11:05Because you're more persuasive than me?
11:07I get it. You're desperate.
11:11There is another... someone.
11:14I can't give you her name.
11:15We called her AZP.
11:17She's very angry.
11:19They've ruined her life.
11:20She's leaning into all this.
11:22I'd love to.
11:23Yeah, of course you fucking would.
11:25And if she's brave enough to talk more, then you'll hear more.
11:27But until then...
11:28They're just all so scared.
11:30They are profoundly scared.
11:32Mr. Cook, do you accept that a number of rules were broken with regard to Gary Eaton?
11:50I do.
11:51And the issue for the judge to decide on is the spirit in which these rules were broken.
11:57Were they broken in bad faith or was it done transparently and in the interests of justice?
12:03Those are the two sides that we are litigating at the moment.
12:07Do you understand that?
12:08Yes, I do.
12:09Let us begin with your initial meeting with Mr. Eaton.
12:15It's been suggested that you led the witness during this conversation.
12:19I think it's important for me to say that I never wanted to meet with Mr. Eaton in the first place.
12:24He insisted he would only speak with me, so I went along.
12:28And the job is to find out if he was valid.
12:31And to do that, you have to ask some probing questions.
12:34Give me the name of the brothers.
12:39That's hardly a probing question, is it, Mr. Cook?
12:44He wasn't interested in any brothers at all, was he?
12:47You gave him the brothers.
12:49I gave him the brothers. I did not give him the name of the brothers.
12:52You were aware at that first meeting of how important it was to preserve the integrity of the process?
12:59And that's what I thought we were doing. It was all recorded.
13:01And we all have the transcripts here before us, but that wasn't my question.
13:06It was a simple question.
13:12Let's try another.
13:13Do you accept that by having direct phone conversations with a witness,
13:17you were breaching the sterile corridor system?
13:20Yes, I do, but I would say that this was a particularly difficult set of circumstances.
13:26It wasn't difficult at all. All you had to do was say to this man,
13:29I'm sorry, the rules are I'm not allowed to have direct contact with you.
13:33You have your own witness protection handler, they can sort out any problems you may have,
13:37but from now on, you must not ring me, and if you do, my phone will bar you.
13:42And that is what I did on several occasions.
13:44Did you ever bar Gary Eaton from calling your phone?
13:47It's not always possible on every type of phone.
13:53Are you saying that it's not possible from a metropolitan police phone?
14:00It's a terribly simple question.
14:04He changed his number. I didn't know his number.
14:09I'd like to turn now to the issue of your note-taking.
14:15My Lord, between August the 23rd and the 16th of September 2006,
14:22not one of Mr. Cook's numerous telephone calls to Eaton appears on the schedule.
14:28Mr. Cook, do you mind telling us how it is that between the 23rd of August and the 16th of September,
14:34you managed to make so many calls without recording any of them?
14:38From memory, the vast majority, if not all, were to do with Mr. Eaton's welfare, his domestics, stuff like that, nuisance stuff.
14:47But you accept, do you not, that the court has no way of knowing what was said during these calls?
14:52I accept that. My Lord, do you mind if I sit down or suffer from vertigo?
14:57Please.
14:59Let us look at tab number nine.
15:03We can see, top line, that the debrief begins on the 1st of August.
15:09We can see that it's followed the next day by a call which is 15 minutes long.
15:14That one is logged. Then, on the 28th of August, there's a 9-minute call which is not logged.
15:21Then, on the 1st of September, Eaton suddenly changes his story.
15:25He says for the first time that he was at the scene of the murder.
15:29What are you suggesting?
15:30I'm suggesting that that may not be a coincidence, Mr. Cook.
15:35I suppose you're going to deny it and say that it is just a coincidence?
15:39You're going to deny that, during these unlogged calls, you were feeding Mr. Eaton his story?
15:45Why would I do not?
15:46This case has been causing the Metropolitan Police untold embarrassment for over two decades.
15:51You were desperate to nail someone.
15:53Of course, if you think you have somebody who may be an eyewitness, you embrace them with both arms.
15:59But you allowed this dishonest, mentally ill man to run riot over your investigation.
16:04Not only that, but you manipulated him because he was easily manipulable
16:08and because he was your one way of bringing this case back to life
16:12and ending your career with a real coup.
16:16Isn't that what has gone on here, Mr. Cook?
16:25You could not be father from Richard, sir.
16:28If you haven't changed your ways...
16:45if you haven't changed your ways
16:57no chance
16:59thanks
17:00can you still win
17:02now that we lost Gary Eaton the entire case
17:05rest on two witnesses
17:07Lindsay Wright
17:08Jimmy Cook's ex-girlfriend who was basically a fucking nightmare
17:11and James Ward
17:14our original super grass
17:16was erratic at best
17:18nine days they kept me on that stand
17:22and day one
17:24they really thought I could win
17:25hoped
17:27no I remember hope
17:29I'm sorry they did that to you
17:33I didn't deserve it
17:35maybe I did
17:36it's all about you
17:40can you um
17:42win
17:44journalism isn't about
17:47winning or losing
17:48it's about the gradual erosion of
17:50self-worth
17:51Alan's given the story to
17:55Panorama and the New York Times
17:56and he's probably right
17:57because I can't get anyone
17:58to go to court
17:59which means we can't
18:00I thought
18:03I had a way
18:04to get to Mulcair's notes
18:06I thought I was finally getting somewhere
18:07but
18:07like everything
18:09I tried
18:10what about Jonathan Rhys
18:13surely he's just as bad as Mulcair
18:16he's on trial if you haven't noticed
18:18we raided his house a few years ago
18:21we found invoices on his desk
18:24Rhys to Alex Maranchuk
18:25and the news of the world
18:27now Rhys went to prison for conspiring to pervert the course of justice
18:30came out
18:31and went right back into the employer news of the world
18:34while Andy Coulson was the editor
18:36Andy Coulson
18:39news of the world employed a convicted criminal
18:41now this fell into your lap okay
18:45you can't quote me
18:48you can't name Rhys
18:50but you can use this to nail them
18:53this could get you in serious trouble
18:56I'm already in serious trouble
19:00so you're calling Jonathan Rhys Mr. A
19:12I think it's my best pseudonym yet
19:14can't name him till after the Morgan trial
19:17it's very tenuous legally even to hide him
19:19under a pseudonym his lawyers can claim contempt of court
19:22Coulson being in government is a contempt
19:25it's a good story does it stand out
19:27my source is solid
19:28Jonathan Rhys was in prison for conspiring to pervert the course of justice
19:33and the news of the world rehired him
19:36after he was released from prison while Coulson was editor
19:39feels a good one
19:40we'll need to give Coulson writer a reply
19:42oh this is the most archaic practice
19:45giving people quotes in articles against them
19:47it's just free advertising space for their lives
19:50I think it's necessary
19:51if we publish his right of reply we'll be misleading our readers
19:54whatever the fight I think it's better to stick to established journalist practice don't you
19:58what would you know about journalism you're a lawyer
20:00Nick could you maybe talk to her with a bit more respect
20:02oh fuck off with respect
20:05Nick sorry sorry sorry sorry Rufus sorry Jill I know how vital you are to all this
20:09just busy time busy head
20:12I'll alert some people go back stairs
20:17I know this will spread the other newspapers they can't ignore this it has to
20:22Jill if he gets the quote from Coulson I think we can argue public interest
20:27I agree thank you this is good
20:34whoever your source is this is good
20:38would it surprise you to know it didn't spread
20:59all the other newspapers ignored the Mr. A story
21:04you'll get them next time
21:10the trouble with next time

22:14I had a good relationship with him is it guys
22:16yeah I'm looking to what the fuck I wanted
22:19as long as I came in with a good story
22:21the brief was
22:24I don't give a fuck
22:29the news of the world meetings are more fun than guardian ones
22:32you're not wrong
22:33but I asked him
22:35did he know what's going on
22:37Coulson
22:38New York Times over here on this side

22:47that way you sound like the guardian
22:49you don't think the guardian are valid
22:52I think the guardian are being beautiful beings
22:54gazing down from their mighty high horses

24:25it's good journalism
24:27I love an intimate party Nick
24:29but it is nice
24:30don't you think
24:31to have at least some other people who want to be there
24:34this is the New York Times
24:36it's going to be a lot harder to fight us both
24:38this matters
24:40it was an extremely good piece
24:47the way it
24:48it was extremely good
24:50and what happened next
24:51Alan was right
24:53it made everybody
24:54braver
24:55celebrities began to look up
24:57for instance Charlotte Harris began to get somewhere with a client
25:00football agent Sky Andrew
25:01they offered him 200,000 pounds a year
25:04and 1.2 million pounds in free advertising for a charity if you drop his case
25:08and he said no
25:10people were willing to fight
25:11most unusual people
25:13hi Nick Davis
25:14Max Mosley
25:15I'm a fan of your work
25:17then Max Mosley did something extraordinary
25:20to be clear we didn't meet at the Guardian but this setting will do
25:23I'd like to back financially anyone wishing to bring a case against the news of the world
25:28indemnify them against costs and damages
25:32Max that could be millions
25:33I'm guessing you saw it
25:36Nazi sex orgy
25:38photos of me
25:40it was not Nazi
25:43it was consenting
25:44but they didn't care
25:45I sued
25:47I got a small reward
25:49I survived
25:50my son
25:52didn't
25:54heroin overdose
25:57one year after the story was published
26:02I'm sorry
26:04they can attack us
26:06when our children are damaged
26:09but are you sure that this is what you want to spend your fortune on
26:14you underestimate my fortune Mr. Davis
26:18and my anger
26:21the world started to unfurl before us
26:24the strategy started to work
26:26allies were
26:27well not exactly everywhere but
26:30gathering
26:31and then
26:33the game changed
26:34Mark Thompson got in touch
26:36his client AZP
26:37do you remember AZP?
26:38well
26:38apparently she loved the New York Times piece
26:41and the Mr. A story

27:01some roles are being withdrawn
27:04others are being promised
27:06if she just lets it go
27:07you've decided to keep fighting
27:09they've also
27:11said they've told me that there is more
27:14muck on me they'd use
27:15which is
27:16I mean
27:17probably true
27:18but I mean how can they print anything worse
27:20all the papers are after her
27:22can I ask
27:24Sienna
27:26can I ask what happened
27:27I can't go
27:30into the details
27:32and I really don't want to pry
27:33but what have
27:34what were they digging for
27:37um
27:38seemingly
27:42um
27:43well anything
27:44about me
27:45is
27:46uh
27:46interesting
27:47the
27:47restaurants I go to
27:49what
27:50what I wear
27:51people
27:51people I meet
27:52but
27:54it seems
27:55their
27:56attention
27:57was particularly
27:58grabbed by
27:59I
28:00um
28:00I got
28:03uh
28:04I got pregnant
28:06and
28:07um
28:08I had a decision
28:09to make
28:11you understand
28:12and
28:15at that time
28:17when you're
28:18when you're dealing with that
28:20you need people that you can trust
28:22and I didn't
28:23I didn't trust anyone
28:24I thought that they were all
28:26selling stories about me
28:27because they knew
28:28everything
28:29and I couldn't work out why
28:33I couldn't work out why
28:34anything I told
28:35my friends or family
28:37was being leaked
28:39I thought
28:40I mean
28:41I
28:41I started to
28:43um
28:44yeah
28:46hmm
28:48I uh
28:51the number of people
28:55that I trusted
28:56grew smaller and smaller
28:57until there was almost
28:58no one at all
29:00I didn't know which way was up
29:02not anymore
29:03I drank too much
29:04did all the wrong things
29:05damaged my career
29:07damaged myself
29:08and they feasted on it
29:11was this Mulcair?
29:13we don't know
29:14we don't know
29:15who was doing what
29:16all we know
29:17is the results of it
29:18the thing that I was most
29:20um
29:21sorry about
29:24was that I
29:24um
29:25I damaged my family
29:29once it was all
29:33um
29:33I only basically
29:41told my mum
29:42and they still found out
29:48and they published
29:51and I thought it was her
29:53and the things I said to her
29:57you know
29:58must have been horrible
30:03but I'm a celebrity
30:06I chose all this
30:08it's not their fault
30:09it's in the
30:10public interest
30:11hmm
30:11we're taking this
30:14all the way
30:14good
30:15thank you
30:19we're gonna have to
30:24disclose this
30:25I'm afraid we've no choice
30:26but
30:28I ain't done nothing
30:29Lindsay
30:29your entire search history's here
30:31you can see what you searched
30:33and when you searched it
30:34but
30:35I'm allowed to be curious
30:37and I
30:38not against the law to be curious
30:40look
30:41you're accusing Jimmy Cook
30:43of over 30
30:45separate murders
30:46and each time you change a statement
30:49and say you remember a new murder
30:51it comes off the back
30:52of an internet search
30:53and how to commit that particular type of murder
30:55disclosing this means
30:57that we can no longer
30:58put you forward
30:59as a witness of truth
31:00and I'm afraid Lindsay
31:04I'm afraid we lost
31:05the only other witness
31:07who had evidence on Jimmy
31:08so your statement
31:10that was all the prosecution had to go on
31:14James Frederick William Cook

32:56so we're still pals
32:58but that's not why you're here
33:03you want something
33:05Alan Rusbridger and the Guardian
33:07have been in touch with us
33:08at Panorama
33:08it's the hacking stuff
33:10but there's also this story
33:11on Jonathan Rhys

33:13I know you've been on
33:14Daniel Morgan
33:15so Rhys is your bag right

33:35oh that's strange
33:38house without kids
33:41pretty quiet
33:43I think I need to get better
33:48filling in the time
33:49we should be aiming for
33:56a coalition of lawyers
33:57coalition
33:58I mean government
33:59I have other friendly lawyers
34:00with very high profile clients
34:01I do actually know
34:02who you're talking to
34:02Sky Andrew case
34:03progressing under your watch
34:04you're still not accepting their terms
34:06no
34:06Max Mosley has promised
34:08to financially back
34:08any client who comes forward
34:10surely we can encourage them
34:11all to come forward now
34:12breathe
34:13okay
34:14you are constantly swaying between
34:17utter despair
34:19and this
34:19it's exhausting
34:20the law takes time
34:23we are building something
34:25let it fucking build
34:26stop worrying about the New York Times
34:28getting there before you
34:28this is your case
34:29I don't have Sienna Miller as a client
34:33you don't have Sean Hall in your pocket
34:35but we are all working together
34:37stop doing that thing with your hands
34:38I have another one for you
34:41a former politician
34:42apparently he's had sight of Mulcair's notebook
34:46I've been reluctant to share him
34:48because
34:48well I think he's tricky
34:51but
34:51you want everyone
34:53what I'm interested in
34:56is in Mulcair's notebooks
34:57I have no interest in what it shows
34:59that there'll be a name
35:00at the top corner of the notes
35:02which is the name of someone
35:03at the News of the World
35:04have you read
35:05what the Guardian has written about me
35:08about this case
35:09Tommy Sheridan
35:10a defamation case
35:11which became a perjury case
35:12a process of disclosure
35:14on which allowed him
35:15access to Mulcair
35:16and to his paperwork
35:17and he's right
35:20the Guardian haven't been kind about him
35:22what I'm looking to do
35:23is to build a case
35:24against Andy Coulson
35:26and the culture of the News of the World
35:28that the hacking was indemnity
35:29yes there's a name
35:30no you can't see it
35:31and you certainly can't print it
35:33I don't trust journalists Nick
35:36not anymore
35:37okay the name is important
35:39because it undermines
35:41the one rogue reporter argument
35:43which Coulson keeps hiding behind
35:44the more editors
35:46and senior journalists
35:47we can implicate
35:48the more we show them lying
35:49Greg Miscue
35:58Greg Miscue
36:01you sure?
36:02I didn't tell you
36:03you're not printing it
36:05Greg Miscue was news editor
36:06later assistant editor
36:08he's retired now
36:09but he reported directly to Coulson
36:11I know who Greg Miscue is now
36:12do you know how significant this is
36:13this could blow the lid off
36:14this has to be off the record
36:16do I understand that you're representing yourself in Coulson
36:26yes
36:27what if I was to help you?
36:30go on
36:31there's very little I know a lot about
36:33but this issue is one of them
36:34I could feed you questions
36:36help with your research
36:37all for nothing
36:38for the name of the notebook
36:39that name is dynamite
36:40Greg Miscue is dynamite
36:42and you can print it
36:43because it's been stated in court
36:45and have an idea
36:46who you should call as a witness
36:47go on
36:49Andy Coulson
36:51you're a traitor
36:55start by asking him about Greg Miscue
37:00he'll deny any knowledge
37:01Mr. Coulson
37:03these are the written notes
37:05of the former News of the World employee
37:07Glenn Mulcair
37:08contractor
37:09not employee
37:11Mr. Coulson
37:12do you recognise the name
37:13in the top left hand corner of the page?
37:16it says Greg
37:17this is the big one
37:18do you think that name refers to the former assistant editor
37:23Greg Miscue?
37:24no
37:25not to my knowledge no
37:26do you have any knowledge
37:28of Greg Miscue
37:29ordering Glenn Mulcair
37:30to hack Tommy Sheridan's phone?
37:32are you telling me that you never ordered
37:34or were unaware of Greg Miscue
37:36ordering Mr. Mulcair
37:38to tap my phone?
37:39no
37:39I had absolutely no knowledge of it
37:42and I
37:42I certainly didn't instruct anyone
37:44to do anything of the type
37:46interesting because
37:47Sean Hall
37:49in the New York Times
37:50stated
37:51that he played you
37:52hacked
37:53voicemails
37:54I remain confident
37:55there is no evidence
37:56to support Mr. Hall's accusations
37:57that's my position
37:58do you have any comment
37:59on why Mr. Hall
38:00would have made those accusations?
38:02you should ask Mr. Hall
38:03how bad was the culture
38:04in your newspaper?
38:06I don't accept
38:06there was
38:07any culture
38:08of phone hacking
38:09at the News of the World
38:10there was
38:11one
38:11unfortunate case
38:13involving Clive Goodman
38:14and
38:14no one
38:16was more sorry about it
38:17than me
38:17and that's why I resigned
38:20Tommy Sheridan
38:22we got
38:24Miscue's name out there
38:25it wasn't enough
38:26but we're rattling
38:27Coulson's cage
38:28well let's see if this
38:30sends him over the edge
38:31this was lodged
38:33in the High Court
38:33this morning
38:34worth mentioning
38:35in real life
38:35he made me go to the courthouse
38:37to pick this up myself
38:37possibly not worth mentioning
38:40Mulcair
38:41blagged her phone number
38:43I changed my phone twice
38:44and somehow
38:45they always got it
38:46it wasn't just her phone
38:48they were inside of
38:48they targeted Sienna's mother
38:50her boyfriend
38:51his assistant
38:52her publicist
38:53we analysed
38:54my itemized phone bills
38:55and then we used them
38:56to force the police
38:58to hand over calls
38:59made by Mulcair
39:00the police were sitting
39:01on this information
39:01for four years
39:02I'll remind you
39:03John Yates
39:04four years
39:06and then we linked them
39:08to the News of the World
39:10stories
39:10there was a name
39:12that appeared
39:12in the top corner
39:13of Glenn's notes
39:14a name
39:15we haven't had before
39:16a name
39:17that could change everything
39:18tell me the name
39:19Ian Edmondson
39:23Ian Edmondson
39:25he reported directly
39:26to Coulson
39:26Ian Edmondson
39:27is the current
39:28news editor
39:28of the News of the World
39:30that is a culture
39:49a culture
39:50Coulson has created
39:51we can't survive this
39:53just heard
40:00good word Nick
40:01we can't get through to you
40:14so
40:15is it the kid?
40:32no
40:33no
40:34no
40:34it's about your father
40:37god I'm so sorry Nick
40:40yeah Graham
41:03we found two crates
41:05in an old DPS office
41:06a cleaner found him
41:08it's old evidence
41:10on James Ward
41:10but we told the judge
41:16we declared
41:17everything on Ward
41:18I'm sorry
41:20how about it?
41:25now this is the end
41:28right?
41:30do you want the official
41:31answer or the honest
41:32answer?
41:34we don't survive this
41:35I don't understand
41:39how can they accuse us
41:42of withholding evidence
41:43when you didn't even
41:44know that the crates
41:45existed
41:45it was a disused
41:47police building
41:48nothing to do
41:49with your team
41:50right?
41:50yeah
41:50the office was locked
41:53for years
41:53nobody knew anything
41:54about it
41:55but even if we could
41:58make the case
41:59that we weren't
41:59withholding the files
42:00the contents
42:03the details
42:05about James Ward
42:06that he didn't
42:07originally disclose
42:08to us
42:08if we'd have
42:10had the files
42:10earlier
42:12we may have been
42:13able to deal with it
42:14but
42:14all of it together
42:17it's
42:17years and years
42:20and years
42:21gone
42:22all because
42:24someone left
42:25some files
42:25in the wrong room
42:26it's like
42:30everyone forgot
42:31all the people
42:33in that court
42:34this was supposed
42:37to be about
42:37Daniel
42:38hi
42:56hi
43:08Yeah. I really loved him.
43:11I know.
43:12He was...
43:13It was complicated, but I really loved him.
43:20The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
43:24He makes me lie down in green pastures.
43:27He leads me beside still waters.
43:30He restores my soul.
43:32He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
43:35Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil.
43:41For you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
43:46You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
43:51Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
43:56And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
44:05Hi.
44:10Hi.
44:16On the 14th of January, 2011, Rebecca Brooks asked her secretary to find somewhere discreet for her to meet Andy Coulson.
44:25She did so the next day at 7.45 a.m. at the Hawken Hotel in Belgravia.
44:31We don't know what Brooks said to Coulson during that meeting, but we do know that on the 21st of January, Andy Coulson resigned.
44:39He said, unfortunately, continued coverage of events connected to my old job.
44:44At the News of the World has made it difficult for me to give the 110% needed in this role.
44:50I stand by what I said about those events.
44:53But when a spokesman needs a spokesman, it's time to move on.
45:02This is the end of a long, as I am sure everyone associated with this case will agree, exhausting road.
45:20In all the years that I have been a judge, I have never come across a case in which there have been so many issues or such complex issues to be resolved before a trial could even get underway.
45:34The family will inevitably be disappointed by the outcome.
45:39But they, I think, should be commended on the dignity with which they have faced these proceedings.
45:47Mr. Rees, Mr. Fillory, Mr. Glenn Vian, Mr. Gary Vian, please stand.
46:01You are free to go.
46:03Verdicts of not guilty have been entered in all of your cases.
46:10Thank you all.
46:12Court rise.
46:24Your dad.
46:25Yep.
46:27He was a nice man.
46:29You didn't know him.
46:32You made him sound nice.
46:33And to Andy Coulson, may he disappear and never come back.
46:49I may as well tell you we're reporting it tomorrow.
46:54Murdoch's going for full control of B-Sky B.
46:57I did hear it was possible.
47:02If he gets that, he'll be able to leverage a serious amount of debt.
47:06Buy more.
47:07Buy bigger.
47:08We're talking world domination.
47:12Why are you telling me this?
47:16To remind you it's not over.
47:19Remind me that they cut Coulson loose to save on their B-Sky B business.
47:23It's all a false victory.
47:27Not false at all.
47:29Dissection is a slow process.
47:31We tackle them.
47:34One limb at a time.
47:35And eventually they run out of limbs.
47:38Do they?
47:43I'm tired.
47:44I want to go home.
47:46Agreed.
47:47We rest.
47:48We lick our wounds.
47:50We take stock.
47:51No, I don't.
47:56I don't think so.
47:57I think on this story, I think you need to find someone to take over.
48:02Sometimes you need to know when to stop.
48:08It's time to stop.
48:09I need to stop.
48:14Sorry.
48:14Bye.
48:42Bye.
48:43Bye.
48:43Bye.
48:43Bye.
48:43Bye.
48:43Bye.
48:44And I thought a bit of fresh air might be an order.
48:49Oh, I'm fine.
48:50Well, you're not.
48:52I'm all right.
48:54No, you're not, mate.
48:57Someone I want you to meet.
49:00He helped me.
49:01I think he can help you.
49:04Get showered, get dressed, not leaving until you do it.
49:09I'm serious.
49:14Okay.
49:44Oh, they're here.
49:50Go ahead.
49:51David Cook, Golden Brown.
49:53Golden Brown, David Cook.
49:55I know a lot about you, DCS Cook.
49:57I appreciate you coming all this way.
49:59It's no problem.
50:01I'm interested to hear more about what's happened to you.
50:03I, uh, I think I might be able to help.
50:33I love you.
50:34I appreciate you coming all this way.
50:36I appreciate you coming all this way.
50:37Thank you, David.
50:38Thank you for joining me.
50:39This is such a great day.
50:41Thanks.
50:49It's a great day.
50:50I appreciate you coming all the time.
50:51I appreciate you coming all the time.
50:54If you're watching, I'd like to share a video.
50:57How are you?
50:58I appreciate you coming.
50:59How are we doing?
