00:00Local PBS station.
00:30All we do is, all we do is hide away.
00:35All we do is lie and wait.
00:39All we do is, all we do is lie and wait.
00:43I've been upside down.
00:47I don't wanna be the right way around.
00:51Confine paradise on the ground.
01:00Like I said, I don't know this guy personally, but everyone says he's fine.
01:19So, as long as you work hard and do the job, he's not interested in anything else.
01:26You finished at five today, okay? I'll be waiting for you here.
01:32Have a good day, my friend.
01:35Question 50. How many royal parks are there in London?
01:47So, he was identified through comparison with a DNA swab taken after he was charged with a section 47 ABH on July 16th, 2019.
01:56All of his files are on Compact and a quick squint suggests they thought he had fallen into debt during the pandemic.
02:05His car was found parked near the Elizabeth Bridge two weeks after he was reported missing by his wife, who we will be speaking to ASAP.
02:12We will also be speaking to DCI Ram Sidhu, the original investigating officer.
02:17So, right now, I need all the original investigation paperwork inputted into homes, please.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Ditto with the 2019 assault.
02:23And can we check who maintains Whitney Marsh car park CCTV?
02:27How long they keep their video files and if there's any data entry at the car park or pay online facilities?
02:28Sure.
02:29Hold it.
02:30Okay, that's it for now, guys.
02:31Thanks, guys.
02:32Thanks, guys.
02:56Thanks, guys.
03:02You told me to tell them to shove it up their arse.
03:25Of course I didn't tell them that.
03:26So what did you say?
03:27That you were considering their request.
03:29For fuck's sake!
03:32It's a union, Jules.
03:34It's not a good idea to back them into a corner.
03:36And it doesn't scare you that even soft-soaping them, dishonestly, as it happens, even that merest hint of dissent has caused my board to be daubed with racist!
03:47Yeah, it's obviously not ideal, but...
03:50But what?
03:54They effectively pay our salaries.
03:56Oh, well, yeah, and what a catastrophic fucking mistake that was.
04:01We're now all in the thrall of sodding children.
04:04I mean, think back to when you were 21.
04:07Yes, exactly.
04:08I mean, seriously, Paul, they don't understand real life yet, with all its shit compromises and messy, imperfect solutions, and surely part of our job is to teach them about that.
04:25It's just not my course.
04:30It'll only take a few hours.
04:32Isn't it just easier to say yes?
04:36You know what?
04:37It actually isn't.
04:38Because what will it be next?
04:51It's also not fair.
04:52To us, sure.
04:53But much more importantly, it's not fair to them.
04:56Marty!
04:57Marty!
04:58Martin!
04:59Marty, please!
05:00I need to go toilet!
05:14Pickle!
05:15Mummy needs to wee-wee!
05:16How bad?
05:17Very bad.
05:18And what makes you think it's getting any worse?
05:31Everything.
05:32And when you say everything?
05:35My dad, Mr. Cooper, that place.
05:40The pub?
05:42If I had a girlfriend.
05:44So, maybe we can up your dose to 100 milligrams.
05:47I have the right to have a girlfriend.
05:49We're not going down that rubber hole again, Marty.
05:51Women can get a boyfriend whenever they want, so-
05:54No woman has the right to have a boyfriend, no man has the right to have a girlfriend.
05:57We've been through this too many times, Marty.
05:59I'm just so tired of it.
06:02Not understanding anything.
06:06I know, mate.
06:09What did I do wrong, Dr. Renfield?
06:14You didn't do anything wrong, Marty.
06:20It's certainly not your fault.
06:23Life is just unfair sometimes.
06:26So, I'm going to up your sertraline to 100 milligrams, and I'm going to refer you to a new autism service being set up by Kent Council.
06:36I should say that it might take a year or so to get an appointment.
06:39They're a bit snowed under right now.
06:44So, we'll see each other in three months.
06:51I should say, raising the dose might give you some side effects, Marty.
06:55Call us immediately if you start to have any trouble sleeping, if you feel more anxious, if you have any violence.
07:01Dr. Renfield.
07:02Marty?
07:03Duncan?
07:04You want to come through?
07:31Hey.
07:32Hey.
07:33Hey.
07:34I heard that he was struggling.
07:37Yeah.
07:38Yeah, he's not brilliant.
07:40Mal, I'm so sorry.
07:45You wanna- talk things over?
08:06You wanna- talk things over?
08:10I want you to tell me why you have been in the car in 2005 when you are in the car.
08:16If you don't see me, you will be in the house.
08:40so we only have one session with this guy but he basically tells us what sort of therapist he
09:00thinks we need so we see a therapist to see what kind of therapist we need yeah
09:07a bit nuts in it you certainly are
09:10boy
09:12oh
09:14oh
09:18Oh, my God.
09:48I'm sorry.
10:08I want to get a drink.
10:18And I've just asked for the search to be widened, so it may yet be that we do find more of
10:28them.
10:30How could someone do that?
10:32To another human being, how could someone do such a terrible thing?
10:40It's pretty much always about disposal.
10:42If it doesn't sound too absurd, it's generally not personal.
10:47Oh, my God, how am I going to tell my daughter?
10:58Where was it?
10:59You said you found him?
11:00Whitney Marsh.
11:05I always knew he hadn't jumped.
11:09In here.
11:10I always knew.
11:14I told them.
11:15I told them so many times.
11:17The original investigation?
11:18I told them.
11:19I thought his death had probably been violent.
11:21Can I ask why you thought that?
11:24Because of the money.
11:25Okay.
11:26Sorry.
11:27Can we just...
11:28Can we just backtrack a minute?
11:31Women don't even like that shit, bro.
11:32They like to know who's boss, innit?
11:33They're like a strong man.
11:34That's just fucking nature.
11:35Smack them bitches up, man.
11:36They're going to love you more.
11:37Hang on one second, dudes.
11:42Hello, Marty.
11:43How are you today?
11:44Fine.
11:45Thank you for asking.
11:46He took on the lease of a pub in Stepney in 2014.
11:49He was a man who was a man who was a man who was a man who was a man who was a man who was a man who was a man.
11:52He took on the lease of a pub in Stepney in 2014.
12:07His uncle had managed it in the 80s and it was a bit of a home from home for Gerry.
12:14So that was his main job.
12:16But we also had three rental properties.
12:18These were flats or...?
12:19No, HMOs.
12:20Two had seven rooms, one had five.
12:22It was quite a lot of work and we also had fairly large mortgages on all three buildings.
12:28And you had to be really on top of tenancies and payments.
12:30Sorry, you did this with him or...?
12:33No, no, I work at Central London University.
12:35Oh, right.
12:36As...?
12:37A lecturer, Modern History.
12:38Oh, okay.
12:39I'm sorry, carry on.
12:40Yeah, so things were pretty tight but absolutely manageable.
12:45And the first five years or so in Stepney were great.
12:49Gerry had grown up near there in Bow and he just... he just dived back into that life.
12:55Lots of local community stuff.
13:00Yeah, he really loved it.
13:02And then the pandemic happened and it was just like a perfect storm.
13:10Obviously, the pub had to shut, so that revenue went.
13:13And then the tenants, one by one, stopped paying their rent.
13:16So we basically just got deeper and deeper into debt, which is when he, without telling me, I should say, spoke to a friend of a friend of a friend and started borrowing money from people he really shouldn't have.
13:29Money lenders?
13:31That makes him so much more respectable than they were.
13:33I think they were basically gangsters.
13:34Okay.
13:35And how did you find out about them?
13:37So he was attacked early February 2021 as he was putting the bins out one night.
13:46Okay, and you think by one of them?
13:48Yeah, I do.
13:49And did he say he was by one of them?
13:51No, but at that stage I still didn't know he borrowed any money.
13:54And how badly hurt was he?
13:56Well, they didn't break anything.
13:57They were probably too clever for that, but he was knocked out.
13:59And you went to the police?
14:00I called them, yeah.
14:01And?
14:06Well, Gerry was obviously not that helpful.
14:08In hindsight, he was probably scared.
14:09So, you know, the police had very little to go on.
14:11And it was only after we wrapped about that that he finally told me what was going on.
14:16Okay.
14:17And how much did he owe them?
14:18By that point, he said it was about £17,000.
14:21And did you ever get any names of these people?
14:24I think I only ever met one of them once.
14:27Some guy called Markaj came to the pub asking for Gerry five days after the attack.
14:32Markaj?
14:33Yeah, looked and sounded Mediterranean.
14:35I think, um...
14:38Gerry said they were Albanian.
14:40Okay.
14:41Um...
14:42So...
14:43Can you talk us through what happened the day he disappeared?
14:50Can I just take a break?
14:52I need to check on my daughter.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Yeah, of course.
14:56While nakil called?
14:57Stop.
14:58No...
14:59Super weird.
15:00Don't trust me that I go away.
15:01Just let him find you all.
15:03And you!
15:05Ugh.
15:06I don't get quite clear.
15:07I don't know.
15:08He was overshyarded, by the way he said before.
15:10He pronounced he wasn't so voice over his head.
15:12We Arin.
15:13He opened his hands, There he消 my head.
15:15He planted what he actually Zent.
15:16He's like the kids.
15:17Well, he got his head.
15:18Oh, boy come in a vigilance.
15:20Come in there.
15:21Would he bring up his trust?
15:22Hey?
15:23Hey, how are you?
15:24Come in, I know, Lucas.
15:25You think you have everything mapped out, you can see the next 20, 30 years, and then
15:52out of nowhere. This thing happens and it shifts everything. Forever. I'm so sorry I have to take
16:15this place. This is my producer. Yeah. Gabe? Mel, sending you an article from the Express for
16:25your next piece. Gabe. Ciao. And are you managing to get into the shower, Doc? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
16:37How do you do that then? If you find it hard using your walker, does Marty help you? Yes.
16:43Yes, he helps me. How do you get that bruise on your face? She slipped, silly Billy, as I got her out of the shower.
16:51Oh, dear. Dotty old tot. Marty, do you want to have a quick sit down? Because I just need a quick chat.
17:09So, look, as I said before, and I really do feel this strongly now, I'm not sure Mum's being looked after as well as she needs Marty.
17:18She's fine. Aren't you, Mum? Yes, I'm fine. Well, I'm not completely sure you are, my love, so...
17:25I'd like to speak to social services and get them to come and do a proper assessment.
17:31I'm not going into a home. You just need to make sure you're safe, don't you?
17:35I can't leave him on his own. He can't cope. All we need is some more help here.
17:43Mum, mum, mum, mum.
17:51Cheese and pickle, do you? Yes.
17:57It's all right, it's all right, Marty. It's all right.
17:59Shh, shh, shh, shh, shhh!
18:02The 24th was our wedding anniversary and we were meant to be having a meal together later that evening.
18:09It's okay. Take your time.
18:12I got back from work at about six, made Taylor her tea and then she went upstairs to do some homework.
18:20Sorry, you lived here then?
18:22No, I bought this place after he died. We were living above the pub in 2021. We had a two-floor flat there.
18:28Oh, okay, right.
18:29So, um, Taylor went upstairs and I started cooking for myself and Jerry. I'd expected him at about 6.30 and then when he hadn't turned up by 7.30, I started to call him.
18:44Over the next four or five hours, I called multiple times. I called his friends, his family, then I checked his diary and saw he was meant to be having a meeting with a colleague from the brewery.
18:54So I rang her and she said he'd rung half an hour before their meeting at four to cancel, which was very unlike Jerry.
19:03And where was the meeting?
19:04Winchester. And then eventually at about midnight, I called the police.
19:09And what was their response?
19:10They just assumed we'd had a row and that he'd turn up at some point tomorrow, even though I told them that that wasn't him.
19:20That wasn't us.
19:22I called again the following day, out of my mind now with worry, and finally that night two officers came and took a statement.
19:29And, uh, you told them about the assault and the loan sharks?
19:33Yes, of course.
19:35What was their reaction to that?
19:40After there was no credit card spending or phone use, they said they were upgrading him to high risk and that they were putting resources into it.
19:46But my sense was their investigation was always perfunctory at best.
19:51So they thought we'd just walked out?
19:53Until they found his car near the Elizabeth Bridge.
19:55And then they decided, with the third UK lockdown beckoning, that he'd jump.
20:00But you never believed that?
20:02His car was by that bridge because one of our rentals is a hundred yards from there, so no.
20:06And then nine months later, I saw the officer who led the investigation was charged with corruption.
20:10Yeah, and I should say we are very sorry for that.
20:13And I asked for the case to be reopened, but nothing happened, so no.
20:16They didn't exactly inspire me with confidence.
20:18No, I can imagine.
20:20But, listen, could we maybe pick this up tomorrow?
20:23I really think I need to be with my daughter now.
20:27Of course.
20:28Yeah.
20:29We're only over in Euston.
20:30It'd be great if it were tomorrow.
20:32I'm in the office all day.
20:39Doreen!
20:43Doreen!
20:47Doreen!
20:49I'm going to get a job so we can pay for more help at home.
20:53You don't need to get a job, Marty.
20:55You won't have to pay for anything.
20:57Don't take her away, though.
20:59We like it how it is.
21:00We just need to make sure you're both safe, Marty.
21:03Well, I like it here.
21:04I know.
21:05I've always liked it here.
21:07Of course you have.
21:08Mum likes it here, too.
21:10Well...
21:10And we need each other.
21:13Go on inside.
21:15Or you'll catch a death.
21:16Thanks so much.
21:32Taylor not at school today.
21:35If she wasn't feeling too well.
21:37Call me as soon as you know your movements.
21:39Will do.
21:40I hope it goes okay with her.
21:44What are you thinking?
22:05I'm thinking that's a very nice house.
22:09I'm thinking the kids at a 25k a year school.
22:12I'm thinking life insurance.
22:34My friend.
22:36Yes?
22:36What is this?
22:37It's my case.
22:37Okay.
22:38I'm thinking life insurance.
22:39I'm thinking life insurance.
22:40I'm thinking life insurance.
22:40I'm thinking life insurance.
22:42I'm thinking life insurance.
23:00What do you do?
23:01Why?
23:02A lot is gone with others.
23:03Why?
23:03I'm thinking life insurance.
23:04Why do you?
23:05You'll be working on the network.
23:06I didn't build one up.
23:07Are you going for a long break?
23:09What are you doing with us?
23:10No question.
23:10Nice.
23:11I'm not sure how to tell you,
23:17Get out.
23:19What?
23:20Get out...
23:21Walk back over there...
23:23...and apologize.
23:23Your joke...
23:24NOW!
23:26This is not fair, Asif.
23:27Life's not fair, mate.
23:30If it was, my brother would still be alive.
23:34Now go back over there...
23:37...and apologize.
23:41I'm sorry.
23:57Killed by who?
23:59Well, that's what they're now going to try to find out, sweetie.
24:07Where was he found?
24:08In a place called Whitney Marsh.
24:10It's about 15 miles east of here.
24:17And what did they find?
24:18Just, like, a skeleton?
24:20Yeah, sort of.
24:21I guess I don't...
24:22...I don't really have the details on that yet.
24:28Are they sure it's him?
24:30They did a DNA comparison test.
24:32It's definitely him.
24:43How did he die?
24:46How was he...?
24:48They're not sure yet.
24:49They're not sure yet.
24:54It's okay to cry.
24:58Sweetheart.
24:59To be angry.
25:00You scream and shout if you want.
25:02I just always thought it was me.
25:05What was you?
25:11Why he jumped.
25:16I just, um...
25:17I thought he mustn't have liked me enough to stay around.
25:19Oh, my God.
25:20No.
25:22He would never have thought that.
25:24Even if there had been how he died, he adored you.
25:28Tay, you were his life.
25:38Tay?
25:39It's fine.
25:40It's fine.
25:41It's fine.
25:42I'm fine.
25:43I've got homework to do.
25:49Okay, not too long on that, boys, okay?
26:09Come on.
26:39Hey.
26:48Hey.
26:52Jessie.
26:57Hey.
27:00Hello.
27:03How are you?
27:06I've missed you so much.
27:09I was just calling to see if, um, if maybe we could meet up, just the two of us to talk.
27:21I'd like that.
27:25Okay, um, I'll text you some dates.
27:29And maybe don't, um, don't say anything to Mom just yet.
27:36Of course.
27:37Whatever you want.
27:39Okay.
27:40Bye.
27:50Bye.
27:51So, um, so I'm sitting at the bar, okay, and, um, she's already 15, 20 minutes late by this
27:57point, and, uh, and I see her walk in and sort of raise my hand, and she sees me, and then
28:03I actually see her eyes narrow, in a kind of, um, not sure, narrow, narrow.
28:08Oh, stop it.
28:09You know what I mean?
28:10So, um, so I'm sitting there, you know, smiling and stuff, and, uh, and I'm watching her walking
28:14over, and I stand up, uh, ready to kind of shake hands or kiss or whatever, and, except
28:20about 10 feet away, she suddenly stops, and, you know, I say hi and put my hand out, and
28:26she just looks at me and goes, nah, I promise you, and then turns around and walks out.
28:33Stop it!
28:34I promise you, to just...
28:35Oh, my God!
28:36Nah.
28:37Oh, my God!
28:38And I'm kind of, like, not even a kind of, like, oh, you know, you're too short, you're
28:44too old, you're too brown, nothing, just nah.
28:46And then, and I don't know why, Lee, but that was the moment I decided to stop online dating.
28:54Yes, well, you know, good for you.
28:56Well, thank you very much.
28:58Good decision, I think.
28:59I think so.
29:14Jesus, what?
29:15Yeah.
29:16What is it?
29:1720 pages?
29:1830?
29:1924, including two blank sheets.
29:21So how long did DCI City get?
29:23Oh.
29:24Not long enough.
29:26Anyway, I asked Fran to go through it.
29:28I thought maybe we could do a briefing with the entire team straight after this.
29:31Yeah, cool.
29:38Thanks for coming in.
29:39Can I get you a coffee?
29:41White coffee?
29:42White?
29:43Yeah?
29:44Yeah, please.
29:45How you doing?
29:46All right.
29:47Thanks.
29:48So, that's it from me.
29:49Until tomorrow, good luck, good night, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
29:52Very much to me like you're trying to get our audience to panic a little bit there, Mel.
29:56No.
29:57It's a little bit net zero, if I'm honest.
29:59Yeah, well, I guess when you've got hospitals in southern Spain where half the beds in the burns unit are occupied by people whose feet got burned by the pavement, Gabe.
30:05Then, yeah, it's a little bit freaky, is my red-hot opinion.
30:09Our audience don't care about your opinion.
30:11They don't care about mine or anyone's here.
30:13They just want to hear their own.
30:14Yeah, but you hired me because...
30:16That's the only reason they watch us.
30:18They're not Patriot or Chat or Info or any of the million others out there.
30:23So we give them their opinion.
30:26But we lose them.
30:27And then we're all out of a job, so...
30:29Rewrite.
30:30When he died, the landlord of the pub obviously took back the tenancy, so for a while we were couchsurfing.
30:44But over the next year, I was able to sell the HMOs, pay off the mortgages, and there was enough equity left to buy where we live now.
30:51And what was the name of the pub?
30:53The Three Crowns. It's flats now.
30:56And did he have life insurance?
30:57Yeah, although I...
30:59I actually didn't even know he'd taken it out until after he was declared dead.
31:04When had he taken the policy out?
31:052015.
31:06And how much did it pay out?
31:08About 400.
31:09Thousand?
31:10Yeah.
31:11And is there anyone else that you're aware of?
31:13Any conflicts, disputes, rows that you think we should know about?
31:17Anyone who might have had beef with him?
31:19I guess maybe one of his tenants.
31:21One specifically?
31:23No.
31:24No, I mean, generally, the houses were in deprived areas, and he often rented to people living slightly on the edge.
31:31And it's like I said yesterday, lots of them stopped paying during the pandemic.
31:35So, yeah, he had lots of disputes with them in 2020.
31:38And do you have records of all the tenancies from around this time?
31:41Somewhere.
31:42Might need to see those, please.
31:44Okay.
31:45And you said he was born in Stepney, I think?
31:46Bow.
31:47Bow.
31:48And what was his relationship like with locals?
31:51Really good.
31:53People love Jerry.
31:55I mean, you could stop 100 people on the streets where we lived and ask them what they thought of him and they'd all say the same.
32:01Yeah, great bloke.
32:03Okay.
32:05Okay.
32:06And then, lastly, how was your relationship?
32:10Our relationship was fine.
32:12Can you elaborate on that at all?
32:15Not really.
32:17It was a happy marriage.
32:20How did you guys meet?
32:22How did we meet?
32:23We often like to get a wider picture of someone in a case like this.
32:28Small details that you might think unimportant
32:30might give us a clue that will help us in our investigation.
32:33We met through politics.
32:35We were both members of our local Labour Party.
32:37And when was this?
32:38Early 2009.
32:40Okay.
32:41He'd just been through a rather painful divorce
32:43and we met at a local election hustings one night and...
32:48Yeah, we just clicked.
32:51Four months later, we were married.
32:54And Taylor was born when?
32:56Late 2009.
32:58Okay.
32:59Thank you so much.
33:00I think we're done.
33:01Okay.
33:03Yeah.
33:04Nothing I could put my finger on.
33:05But off?
33:06Oh, boss.
33:07There's no record in any files I can find of Juliet Cooper asking for the case to be reopened
33:09after Sidley was prosecuted.
33:10Yeah.
33:11Off.
33:12Off.
33:13So, obviously, the initial investigation was more than a little flimsy with no indication anyone even attempted to identify the loan sharks.
33:27Now, my sense is that that whole angle does seem a little confected, but Compact does detail an Urjan Markaj who we will be speaking to.
33:42His family has lots of forms.
33:44And I will be speaking to Ram Sidhu later today.
33:47Kaz, do you have any luck with the CCTV?
33:49Yes and no.
33:50Cameras maintain behaviour in council, but they only keep footage for 90 days.
33:53Yeah.
33:54But I did see that there were a couple of notices in the car park about car theft.
33:58So I wondered if it might be worth checking to see if there are any reported incidents in the weeks after he was reported missing.
34:03Because that footage might be preserved somewhere.
34:06Yeah.
34:07In a car theft case file.
34:08And if the body was brought in by car.
34:10Yeah, good shout.
34:11So he was reported missing on the 24th of February.
34:14I'm thinking of checking up till maybe end of March.
34:16Yeah, go for it.
34:17So as we now know, Mr. Cooper was also the victim of an assault in his pub car park three weeks before he disappeared.
34:25Murray, can you pull up the CRS files on that please?
34:28Yep.
34:29And also Cooper's own criminal record, maybe link in with command and control.
34:32Go for it.
34:33Yeah, Sonny, you had a thought about bin liners.
34:36Hmm.
34:37So you're trying to dispose of body parts.
34:40You need to transport them.
34:41And so you're going to wrap them up in bin liners to minimise evidence being deposited in your vehicle.
34:46But then when you throw them in the marshes, you want to unwrap them to accelerate the decomposition so they get eaten more quickly, etc.
34:52And indeed the little that we found of the torso certainly suggests that went into the marshes unwrapped.
34:57My guess is that we haven't found other parts due to the same reason.
35:01So why would the leg have gone into the marshes still wrapped in bin liners?
35:06The killer was interrupted.
35:09Had to have been.
35:10Yeah, a member of the public disturbed them and they threw it in quickly to avoid detection.
35:14Okay, so boards up please, Kaz.
35:16All along that path asking if anyone saw anything unusual between February 24th, 2021 and the end of March.
35:23But Murray, Juliet Cooper is supplying us with their rental records.
35:26Could you compile a list of all their tenants in the 12 months before Cooper was reported missing?
35:31Sure.
35:32And Fran, can you track down as many pub employees as possible?
35:36Ask them what their general impression of the marriage was.
35:38If they know of anyone else who might have had beef with Cooper.
35:41Ditto the locals who knew him.
35:42Maybe a board up there as well.
35:43Yeah.
35:44Yeah.
35:45Why not?
35:46Okay.
35:47Thanks guys.
35:59But you absolutely weren't drunk.
36:01You were nowhere near over the limit.
36:03I know.
36:04You'd had half a pint.
36:05Colin Moyland was three times over the limit.
36:07He drove through a red light.
36:09It was his fault.
36:10Except now they're arguing that even the small amount of alcohol in my bloodstream means that culpability should be shared.
36:18And if they can convince each other of that, it would mean I wouldn't be able to make any claim on his insurance.
36:24So, so a claim on yours?
36:27Sure.
36:28Except now that my insurance are saying in the absence of any claim on his, it would mean that mine would be invalid.
36:35Because it's a half a pint.
36:38How?
36:39How?
36:40You weren't anywhere near over the limit?
36:42There's a clause in the small print, which means that they have the right to deny compensation on a case-by-case basis.
36:55If the driver had consumed any alcohol.
36:57Do you need any alcohol?
36:58Oh.
36:59Come here.
37:00We're gonna be okay.
37:01We are.
37:02We're gonna be just fine.
37:04Come here.
37:05Come here.
37:06We're gonna be okay.
37:07We are.
37:08We're gonna be just fine.
37:11Come here.
37:12Come here.
37:13We're gonna be okay.
37:14We are.
37:15We're gonna be just fine.
37:18D.I.
37:19Come.
37:20Hands up.
37:21No excuses.
37:22We screwed up.
37:23Feels less like you pursued the wrong leads, more like you pursued no leads.
37:36Yeah, we followed plenty of leads.
37:37Maybe you were otherwise occupied.
37:42Have you just got me to bask, D.I. Con?
37:46Feels less like you pursued the wrong leads,
37:48more like you pursued no leads.
37:50No, we followed plenty of leads.
37:52Maybe you were otherwise occupied.
37:59Have you just come here to bask, Deacon?
38:01I'll take no pleasure in where you find yourself.
38:03Come on.
38:05A little bit.
38:08Put your funny little DC on the deck
38:09and get your charges withdrawn.
38:11Got there in the end, though, didn't we?
38:13We did.
38:16So, how about we just agree
38:20I'm a disgrace to the badge,
38:22and then maybe I can actually help you,
38:24because your pity slightly makes me want to puke.
38:30You are a disgrace to the badge.
38:32Excellent.
38:35So?
38:38No, no, we own restaurants, dry cleaners,
38:40a few office spaces.
38:42But we're not gangsters.
38:44Your cousin is doing eight years for drugs offenses,
38:47and your father did ten for GBH.
38:49My dad died in 2009.
38:51And my cousin has nothing to do with our business.
38:54So you really felt he jumped into the river?
38:56Or just walked away.
38:58You met the wife?
38:59We have.
39:00Firstly, my instinct was that the marriage
39:02wasn't what she painted it as,
39:04and that, coupled with genuine money worries,
39:07caused him to just leave.
39:08Okay, so how much did you lend him as a friend?
39:1212,000, which he paid back with an interest of five.
39:15My guess was that he had borrowed money.
39:17Of course, it's possible they killed him,
39:19but, again, my instinct was that that wasn't the case.
39:22Why?
39:23Firstly, she was pushing that too hard.
39:26She must have called my office maybe, I don't know,
39:28half a dozen times to push that angle.
39:29Maybe because you didn't do anything?
39:30Because it didn't make sense.
39:31Dead men don't pay debts.
39:33Even if we were that kind of organization,
39:36why would we have him killed?
39:38Dead men don't pay debts.
39:40You want a theory?
39:41I'll give you a theory.
39:42There was an assault on Cooper a few weeks before he died.
39:45I'd ask why the wife was so keen to point the finger at us.
39:48One of his bar managers, a Chinese girl,
39:50reckoned it was come here by a lad
39:52that Cooper had employed the previous year
39:54but who had not got furlough.
39:55I'd ask how happy she was
39:58knowing that he was with another woman.
40:00What other woman?
40:01You know his name?
40:02No.
40:03But apparently the lad had threatened him a couple of times.
40:05The one always waiting in the car
40:07when he was dropping off his repayments.
40:09If I was you, I'd be looking for her.
40:12If I were you, I'd be looking for him.
40:18I appreciate your help, Mr. Siddhu.
40:21Oh.
40:22Mr.
40:23That's classy.
40:29We're done here.
40:36Well, listen.
40:37If you need any more help...
40:40Indeed.
40:42I certainly know where to find you, don't I?
40:48But right now, this is BNC.
40:53It's seven o'clock.
40:55Yes, it's time for Mel's Minute.
41:02Well, face masks may be gone.
41:04Lockdown's for now a thing of the past.
41:06But if you thought that the word karate
41:07were going to let you get on with simply enjoying life,
41:09well, think again.
41:10This week, we saw more highly questionable data released
41:13informing us that we are literally going to burn in hell.
41:16If we don't give up our cars, our holidays abroad,
41:18and heck, they even have it in for my little old lock burner.
41:21And as I sit here and look outside my window
41:23on this May evening to see the frost outside
41:25and I pull on my jumper, I ask myself two questions.
41:28Why are the climate change claptrapers lying to us?
41:30And why, if the world is now boiling, am I so frigging cold?
41:34Well, the answer to the first question is because
41:36if we're in a state of perpetual fear and panic,
41:38then we're so much easier to control.
41:40If the pandemic taught us anything,
41:41it's that governments across the globe
41:43love to keep us under their thumb.
41:44And the answer to the second question is,
41:46I am cold because that's how climate works.
41:49It is unpredictable.
41:50Always has been, always will be.
41:52To coin a phrase, sometimes it snows in April.
41:55So until next time, good luck, good night, and God bless.
41:59Now, where are my matches?
42:04That is so true.
42:05It's so true.
42:06Thank you, Mel.
42:07Thanks, Mel.
42:08And thank you for watching.
42:09This has been Britannia News.
42:12In Newcastle today, further unrest.
42:14In Newcastle today, further unrest.
42:42This has been a very nice,
42:43this has been a difficult time.
42:44It's a great place for us.
42:49Yes, the names are super-looking for our whole family
42:54They are compromising Juliette.
42:59They are compromising Juliet.
43:01All they want to do now is meet with you and talk.
43:04They want to lecture me, Paul. We both know that.
43:07They want to judge me.
43:08They really don't.
43:09Paul, it's the Union's core skill.
43:11They want to judge me and wag their pompous little fingers.
43:15Just please, will you help me here?
43:17My hands are tied.
43:18You've tied them yourself by just taking this shit for too long.
43:21I'm doing you a favor. I'm saying enough.
43:24You should be grateful.
43:29No, this is the life that I chose, Mother.
43:33I know, it's my fault.
43:34I was just hoping for once, just, you know, once.
43:36A little bit of empathy.
43:38We don't really do empathy, darling, do we?
43:41And given you've rather made a living out of that,
43:43it's a bit rich expecting it yourself.
43:46Well, I'll say goodnight then.
43:48I'm sure you've got some vinegar you'd like to take a long soak in.
43:51Before you go, sweetie,
43:53did you hear about that man we met you with at the Oaks?
43:56What man?
43:57He was in the paper yesterday.
43:59I recognized him from the photo.
44:02What man?
44:03Gerard Cooper?
44:08Gerard, wow, that's a long time.
44:10Why was he in the paper?
44:12They found his body out in Whitney Marsh.
44:15It says they're launching a murder investigation.
44:22Melinda?
44:23Yeah, sorry, I'm just...
44:25just in shock.
44:27You used to love our picnics out in Whitney
44:30when you were a little girl, didn't you?
44:34I've got to go, Mother.
44:35I'll talk to you next week.
44:40There's so many have fallen for the corrupt
44:42and evil narrative that has long been broadcast.
44:45We will mandate the emergency.
45:08Direct message avoiding the fake news to all citizens.
45:10Direct message, avoiding the fake news to all citizens.
45:17Please leave a message after the tone.
45:21Hi, it's Melinda Ricci.
45:24I just wanted to let you know that if you say anything to anyone that brings people to my door...
45:30...you will regret it.
