[Upbeat music]

[Woman] Remember this morning.

Well played, junior.

Now give it and go, no right wing,

right wing, go, go!

You all right, son?

Gerry?

I'm okay, grandad.

You sure?

Good boy, you're playing well.

Keep it up.

Come on, son.

Go in hard, like we spoke about.

Berk.

He's a good little player, your grandson.

Well played, well played, nice, very nice.

Gets it from his mom.

She was the best player in her school.

Get away.

Yeah, my Paula, not many.

She had trials with westham ladies.

Westham?

Yeah, they trained two or three times a week.

- You hear that, scampy? - [Whistle blowing]

Where's scampy gone?

I think he wants a trial with westham.

Scampy!

Scampy!

They think it's all over, it is now.

Here, come here.

Come here, come here.

[Gerry laughing]

Give it here.

Give me the ball!

[Scampy barking]

The world of tennis is in mourning today,

at the death of the British junior number one.

Alice kemp.

[Reporter] 16 year old Alice kemp,

at this exclusive London apartment complex.

Fawn bramall, there you go.

[Crowd applauding]

[Reporter] Kemp, seen here in the white...

- Pretty little thing. - Was British junior

ladies champion, and in 2012, things looked hopeful.

[Crowd applauding]

Six hours after this match finished,

she took a dive from the balcony

of her penthouse apartment.

Her family all thought it was suicide,

but the original investigation couldn't confirm that,

so the coroner recorded an open verdict.

In the middle of the second set,

the heavens opened and rain stopped play

for about 30 minutes, and when the match resumed,

Alice's game fell apart.

And Fawn bramall came back to win love six,

six, four, six, two, if I remember rightly.

It's a gift.

[Fawn groaning]

[Crowd applauding]

Yes, yes!

Alice was led off the court in tears,

and six hours later, she was dead.

Poor kid.

[Crowd applauding]

So why reopen the case now?

The border agency raided the same apartment complex

a few nights ago on a tip off.

They arrested four illegal immigrants,

all working as cleaning staff.

One of them and abaijae sekibo now says that she was working

on the night of Alice's death,

and claims that she heard Alice's

raised voice coming from her apartment

at around 10:15, which was 10 minutes

before the body was found.

So you think she might have been pushed or?

So, anyone for tennis?

[Tense music]

Cheers.

No problem.

Whoa, is this cool or what?

[Gerry] Very nice!

Oo, look at that view.

Hang on, how could Alice afford

a pad like this, I thought she was an amateur?

The suite was rented in a short-term lease

for the duration of the tournament,

and paid for by Alice's agent, Anthony Marshall.

Initial forensics reports came up blank,

no sign of a struggle or anything untoward.

And the apartment's had a total refit since then,

so there'd be no point in calling them back.

Visitors?

Alice's mother Victoria and her sister,

Jess, were the last ones to see her alive.

They left around six.

Well, this railing's certainly low enough

for somebody to fall over.

Yeah, and that is where she fell from.

Did anyone from over there report seeing anything?

Uniform did an extensive door to door, but nothing.

Cctv?

There isn't any, however, there is a secure

entry system to the foyer,

so Alice would have had to buzz

anyone in who wanted to come up.

So we can be pretty sure that

if there was someone else here that night,

Alice knew who they were.

Unless they had a key, so check out who did have keys,

including the people who leased it before she did.

Also check out the phone records

and see if she made any calls that night.

Yeah okay, will do.

- Let's see the photos. - All right.

- Thank you. - There you go.

Right, this is a still taken from the match.

That's Anthony Marshall, Alice's agent.

That's her mother, Victoria kemp,

her sister Jess and her coach, Nick hoyle,

and this is Fawn bramall's mother, Irina.

What about their fathers?

Where are they in all this?

Well Fawn's father is a millionaire businessman,

who was abroad at the time, and Alice's father,

David kemp, hasn't been on the scene for years.

Right, so where do we start then?

Well, I'll take the manager.

I'll take the coach.

Good.

Gerry you're with me.

Oh all right.

I don't why we bother with tennis

in england anymore.

Well you don't bother with tennis in england.

We take it a bit more seriously in Scotland.

Mr. Murray, I rest my case.

He's British.

He's Scottish.

Humble beginnings for a future tennis star.

Alice was a working class girl that went good,

that's why the press loved her.

Hello, are you Jess kemp?

[Jess] Yeah.

[Pullman] Is your mom in?

She's just getting ready.

She should be out in a minute.

[Victoria] Okay, ready.

[Sandra] Victoria kemp?

Yes.

Detective superintendent Pullman.

This is my colleague, Gerry standing.

We're from the unsolved crimes and open case squad.

Have you got a couple of minutes?

It's quite important.

If it's about Alice, then I want to hear it.

I'm nearly 14, you know?

Is it, about Alice, I mean?

Yeah.

Thank you.

So do you really think that Alice

might not have killed herself?

That's just a possibility, at this stage.

Oh, can I help?

[Victoria] Here we go.

Oh, thank you.

You shouldn't have gone to so much trouble.

I insist.

Milk and sugar?

Just milk please, thank you.

Yeah, a bit of both for me, thank you.

Now, we know that this is very difficult for you,

so we'll try and make it as quick as possible.

At the time of Alice's death,

was anything troubling her?

Problems with friends or boyfriends?

No, there was never any time for anything like that.

Thank you.

It was all about the tennis with Alice.

If that was going well, then everything was going well.

So before the match, she was happy?

Very.

She made the final, her form was good.

She was about to turn professional.

There was nothing to be unhappy about.

You don't mind me saying this,

but Alice seemed awfully young to be staying

in that apartment on her own.

Alice was very strong-willed,

very mature for her age.

What Alice wanted, she usually got.

When you and Jess last saw her

in that apartment, how was she?

Oh, she was still very upset about losing the match.

We wanted to stay with her,

but she insisted she'd be left alone.

Alice hated losing, didn't she, mom?

Always did, even as a child.

Sometimes she would sulk for days,

'cause she'd lost an important match.

Is that why you felt that she took her own life,

because she lost that final?

What other reasons could there be?

[Gentle upbeat music]

Thank you so much.

See you next week.

Antony Marshall, please.

Our books are full.

Try these, they might be able to help.

Fuglies, the casting agency for the less than beautiful.

Brian Lane, ucos.

Mr. Marshall, there's a Mr. Lane here to see you.

Does he do dogs then?

[Receptionist] What?

Mr. Marshall, does he represent dogs?

He doesn't but his associate Mr. Hemings

represents a variety of animal actors, yes.

That particular client made over a quarter

of a million in appearance fees last year.

What?

A quarter of a million, bloody hell.

Unfortunately for you, he doesn't represent fleas.

Sorry?

Wait over there.

Do you have any idea why her form dropped

so dramatically after the rain break?

Thank you.

Tell them mom.

Dad went into Alice's locker room during the rain break.

How do you know this?

I went there too.

Is this true?

Jess, why don't you wait in your room, please?

Thanks Jess.

Did Jess say what her father wanted?

No thank you.

Well, she wouldn't know.

He asked her to leave so that he could talk to Alice alone.

And you never said anything about this at the time?

I didn't find out 'till months later, when Jess told me.

David wasn't good news.

He left us a long time ago, and his conduct

with the girls has been inconsistent, to say the least.

Have you ever denied him access to the girls?

Sorry, can you say that again?

Have you ever denied David access to the girls?

No, the opposite, I encouraged it,

but he wouldn't always turn up when he promised,

and the girls could get quite upset.

Where is he now?

I haven't seen him since the funeral.

Ah, Fawn bramall.

Do you represent her as well?

Yes, Fawn came on board shortly after Alice's death.

According to the file, you paid for Alice's apartment.

Did you have a key?

I don't honestly recall, but if I did,

I certainly never used it.

Why such a fancy apartment?

I had scheduled a press conference

for right after the final.

Alice was gonna announce that

she was turning professional.

The apartment was a gift from me.

That was very generous.

I wanted Alice to have a taste of what

her new life was gonna be like.

First class travel, michelin star restaurants.

She was really gonna be that good.

Not good, Mr. Lane, the best.

Alice had it all, talent, looks, and charisma.

Do you know, world tennis magazine estimated

her career earnings in the tens of millions.

From which you'll be taking a hefty slice, I imagine.

Do you know, Alice was 13 years old when I signed her.

Do you know that, Mr. Lane?

I spent the next three years and a small fortune

building up her media profile.

Did you talk to her after the match?

I tried to talk to her in her locker room,

but she was too distressed.

The poor girl wasn't making any kind of sense.

So you didn't go to her apartment that evening.

No, I was here, on the phone.

Obviously Alice was so distraught,

I had to cancel the press conference.

It was a public relations nightmare.

The rest of the evening was dealing with the media fallout,

and trying to reassure all the sponsors that I'd signed up.

Must have been costly.

I lost a lot more than money that day, Mr. Lane.

A talent like Alice's doesn't come along very often.

Sounds like she was more than just a client.

She was.

She was like a daughter to me.

I sometimes wonder, Mr. Lane,

whether if Alice's real father hadn't been such a waster,

whether she wouldn't still be with us now.

How did Jess react to Alice's death?

The only way she knew how,

to throw herself into her sport.

And you allowed her to pursue a career in tennis,

after what happened to Alice.

I didn't really have a choice.

After what happened to Alice,

I was ready to walk away from tennis altogether.

I hated it for the pressure that it put on her.

But Jess has other ideas.

She idolised Alice.

She wanted to follow in her footsteps,

so after Alice's death, just made her

all the more determined to succeed.

Is she any good?

Nick, her trainer, thinks that she might

even be better than Alice.

Nick hoyle, Alice's old coach?

Yeah.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of them

pushy tennis mothers that you see

at all the tournaments, I hate those types,

but after what happened to Alice,

I just want Jess to be happy,

and tennis is what makes her happy.

Swing out to the point of contact,

shift your weight forward and then follow through, okay?

Good girl, try again.

That's Nick just there.

Mr. Hoyle, can you spare a moment?

Clive, clive, can you take over with Rebecca please?

We're working on her forehand.

Yep.

Thanks mate.

My name's Steve mcandrew.

I'm from the unsolved crimes and open case squad.

So business looks to be booming, Mr. Hoyle.

Train a junior gland slam winner or two,

and you'll be surprised how many parents

suddenly want your services.

It's Nick, please.

Any of these kids look like grand slam winners?

Unfortunately, for many it's already too late.

In places like Russia, they've got academies

teaching four year olds.

By the time their players reached the professional circuit,

they've already been playing for 12, 14 years.

Our kids simply can't make up that lost ground.

Your services can't come cheap.

How can someone from Alice's background afford that?

Well, to be honest with you, Mr. Mcandrew,

most of the children I teach here

are the talentless offspring of over pushy parents

with too much money.

That's very kind.

But true.

Someone with Alice's natural ability

doesn't come along that often.

Couldn't let a talent like that go to waste.

So you taught Alice for free?

And her sister Jess.

It's my way of giving something back

to a sport that's given me so much.

Can you think of anyone who'd want to hurt Alice?

Everyone loved Alice.

Everyone?

Well, look, I shouldn't really be saying this,

but if you're looking for someone

who actually benefited from death,

then you might want to try for an Fawn and Irina bramall.

What, because of this rivalry they always had?

Because with Alice out the way,

Fawn became British tennis' number one poster girl.

[Sandra] All right, spit it out.

What?

You haven't said a word all the way back.

What's up?

You don't wanna hear about it.

Try me, Gerry.

It's stupid really, but seeing Victoria

and Jess like that, and see how much

Victoria supports her, it made me think of my eldest.

You know Paula, she was a fantastic footballer.

Footballer?

Yeah, yeah, a real star.

And then just after her 16th birthday,

she comes up to me and says,

"I don't want to play anymore, I'm bored with it."

What did you do?

Well, I said to her, I said, "it's your choice,

I mean, you're a bright girl.

If you don't want to play football, you don't have to."

And you're thinking that you should

have encouraged her to stick with it.

Yeah, maybe I should have forced her to stick with it.

Don't know about that, Gerry,

I think kids are under enough pressure these days,

without parents forcing them to do something

they don't want to do.

Yeah, but she might have made a real go of it,

you know, turned professional even.

There's a lot of money now in women's football, you know.

Have you talked to her about it?

No.

No, I'm no good at talking about me feelings,

especially to the kids.

What if I did talk to her, and it turns out

she does blame for not pushing her hard enough,

that it's my fault that she hasn't

lived the sort of life she wanted it to, what then?

Well if it makes you feel any better,

every time my mother forced me to do something

I didn't want to do I fought against it tooth and nail.

Why am I not at all surprised?

I mean, quarter of a million a year, for a dog.

It's not to be sniffed at.

He wasn't even very nice looking, not like scampy.

- Yeah, that's me. - Any luck with Alice's

phone records?

Come up blank.

What about keys?

Oh, they turned out to be that electronic swipe kind.

You know the kind you reprogram with each new tenant,

so no one who had the flat before Alice

could let themselves in.

Who'd she give copies to?

Victoria had one, but she and Jess

left the flat around six.

The only other person with a key was Anthony Marshall.

But he reckons he was in his office

on the phone at the time Alice died.

Thank you.

Anyone corroborate that?

No, not yet.

I've put in a request for his phone records though,

but I'm sure he was holding out about something on me.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why kill the goose that lays a golden egg?

Alice's death must have cost Marshall millions

in lost commission, not like Irina and Fawn bramall,

by the way, who according to Nick hoyle

have made a tonne of money since Alice died.

But that makes even less sense.

The bramall already had more money

than they knew what to do with.

Bingo.

I've got an address for Alice's dad.

Yes, a house in east London, where his benefits

are registered to.

He's on benefits, is he?

Is he?

Not many, listen to this.

He's had 23 different addresses in 11 years,

all of which he left owing back rent.

He's got 10 credit cards, all maxed out

and nine bank accounts, all overdrawn.

He must owe thousands.

[Laughs] Oh, he's a real prince, this one.

He walks out when Alice is six and Jess is one,

doesn't pay a penny in child maintenance,

hardly keeps any contact with the kids over the years,

and then suddenly pitches up

just as Alice is about to hit the big time,

presumably to get a cut of the action.

There's a thought, maybe he went back

to Alice's apartment later,

asked her for some more money,

she refused, they have a row.

That makes no sense at all.

- I actually prefer my theory. - It doesn't make any sense.

- Listen, this bloke is skint. - Your theory

is so full of holes.

- My theory is not... - He hasn't got

a pot to piss in, the only way he can really access money.

You're not listening to what I'm saying.

I hear what you're saying.

[Doorbell ringing]

Grandad!

Where's Gerry?

I'm him.

No you're not, you're a leprechaun.

Mom, grandad's here!

This is a pleasant surprise.

Cup of tea?

No, thanks, I'm fine.

I've got a lovely bar of chocolate for someone.

Yeah, it's for your mommy,

so you'd better have these, hey?

Thanks grandad.

He's about to go to bed, dad.

Ah, you can have them in the morning, all right mate?

Okay grandad.

You jump into bed, I'll come up

and read you a story in a minute.

And don't forget to clean your teeth.

Grandad, I'm never gonna get used

to being called with that.

Everything all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I was just local, you know,

I thought I'd pop in, see how the boys, see how you are.

You saw us yesterday,

when you took Gerry Jr. to football.

Yeah I know, I know.

Are you sure everything's all right, dad?

I'm all right if you're all right.

What I mean is, are you happy with your lot and everything?

You're acting very strange, dad,

is there something you want to ask me?

[Gerry] Grandad!

What?

What about that story?

All right, mate, go on, up to bed.

Kids hey, who'd have 'em?

[Metal clattering]

Esther, Esther!

What is it?

Have you seen my old Leica?

What?

My camera, woman, I need it.

What for?

I want some head shots of scampy.

Ah, here it is.

Yes, now remind me to get some film

in the morning, will you?

I know I'm going to regret asking this,

but why do you need head shots of scampy?

'Cause you're gonna be a film star,

aren't you son, hey? [Laughs]

[Esther groaning]

Hey?

[Irina] [Sighs] Smile, Fawn.

You're meant to be sexy, not constipated.

Irina bramall?

Yes.

Detective superintendent Pullman.

This is my colleague, Gerry standing.

We're from ucos.

Oh, is this about these parking tickets?

No, no, no.

We're re-investigating the death of Alice kemp.

Oh.

You don't seem very surprised

that we're looking at Alice's death.

Not surprised, not bothered.

Nothing to do with us.

[Cameraman] Yeah, that's very nice.

Smile girl!

Goodness sake.

[Cameraman] Big smile.

Look up, look up, look up.

Nice, beautiful.

[Tense music]

Mr. Kemp?

[Gate creaking]

[Steve knocking]

Mr. Kemp?

[Steve knocking]

[Steve knocking]

According to the press, there was animosity

between Fawn and Alice, in fact,

some say they hated each other.

They were rivals since they were seven years old,

what do you expect?

Did either of you have any contact

with Alice after that last match?

Why would we?

Well, straight after the final,

we went out for a small celebratory dinner.

All the excitement was too much for Fawn.

She didn't feel well, so I took her home

and had her in bed by eight.

[Sandra] And you have people who can verify that, do you?

My husband was away on business,

but we have staff that can back up my story.

I bet you do.

Listen, I appreciate that with Alice

out of the way, we have inherited all this,

but I can assure you, we have nothing to do with her death.

And you're happy with this, are you?

Your own daughter being treated like a cheap glamour model.

For female sports star, all this is part of the job.

Is it?

Well, I've seen enough.

Oi!

Gerry.

That's it, you've taken your last photograph.

Come on kid, cover yourself up.

There you go.

Why don't you take her home, hey?

Fawn, before you go,

we've been speaking to Alice's sister.

You've seen Jess, how is she?

She's fine.

Do you know her well?

No, she doesn't.

According to Jess, their father came

to Alice's locker room during the rain break.

Did you happen to overhear what they were talking about?

Listen, can we stop this?

Fawn doesn't know anything.

The girl's locker rooms were on opposite sides

of the building, so she couldn't have heard anything.

And instead of wasting your time

interrogating innocent people,

why don't you focus on someone

who had the real motive to kill Alice,

like Anthony Marshall, for example...

Mom!

Tony's our friend.

Why Mr. Marshall?

There was a rumour that Alice was going to change agents.

Anthony Marshall faced losing millions

in commission if she walked.

And Mr. Marshall is now your agent, is that correct?

So?

He can be replaced, he's only an agent.

It's Fawn here who is a real talent.

And now if you're quite finished,

we have a press engagement to attend.

Fawn?

No, no, no, no, keep it.

I'll tell you what, get it back to me

when you've got a minute.

Thank you.

[Tense music]

[Lock clicking]

Mr. Kemp?

Steve mcandrew, unsolved crimes and open case squad.

[Door knocking]

Who are you two nuggets?

- [Whacking] - [Steve groaning]

You're making a mistake.

- [Whacking] - [Steve groaning]

Shit.

I hate London. [Groans]

No.

Yeah, yeah, that's them, those two there.

[Brian] Him?

Yeah.

Yep, that's it.

[Brian] Yeah, the dresden brothers.

Who?

A couple of rent-a-thugs employed

by the illegal betting community to collect unpaid debts.

Well, that fits.

I found a lot of betting slips round kemp's house.

He likes a flutter, by the looks of it.

This is hardcore though.

If the dresdens are involved,

it means kemp's mixed up with some very unsavoury characters.

They can certainly pack a punch, I know that.

I'll get onto uniform, see if we can have them

picked up before they go to ground.

Back home, if someone assaulted a police officer,

we had a slightly different way of dispensing justice,

you know what I mean?

Aye, so did we, a long time ago, but hey?

What?

If the governor hears you suggesting that,

she'll personally frogmarch you down to euston

and throw you on the first train back to Glasgow.

The way I feel about London right now, pal,

that's quite an appealing thought.

[Brian laughing]

[Phone ringing]

Ucos, Brian Lane.

Oh yeah, yeah, right, thanks for getting back, yeah.

You lied to us, Mr. Marshall.

No, I never lied, I just didn't mention

that Alice might've been looking for another agent.

Now, am I correct in thinking that

when Alice died, you took on Fawn bramall as a client,

and so all the money that Alice would have earned,

Fawn earned, and therefore the only way

you would have lost money is if Alice had lived

and signed with another agent.

Now, look, I know it looks bad,

but that's not how it happened.

It is how it happened, but it wasn't planned,

I didn't plan it.

Look, I had nothing to do with Alice's death.

Why am I getting the feeling that

you're still lying to us, Mr. Marshall?

You see, I think you killed Alice,

then you talked her sponsors into switching

all their money over to Fawn bramall,

that way you keep your lousy 20%.

No, that's not how it happened.

Then tell us, how did it happen?

Tell us the truth.

[Sighs] All right, I admit it.

I did go and see Alice that night.

I just never mentioned it before,

because I knew how it'd look.

I knew that you'd think I had something

to do with Alice's death, but I didn't. [Sighs]

I went over just before seven.

I wanted to talk to her.

I loved Alice.

I wasn't gonna lose her without a fight.

You weren't gonna lose her money, you mean?

The money wasn't important.

I even offered to halve my commission.

I just want you to know why she was looking

for another agent, I wanted to know what I'd done wrong.

And what did she say?

She denied it.

She swore she didn't know how the rumours had got started.

Look, you have to believe me.

Alice was alive and well when I left her, I swear.

[Door knocking]

Interview suspended at 15:42.

What?

It looks like Marshall was telling the truth

about his whereabouts on the night Alice died.

His phone records just came back,

and he was in fact in his office making phone calls.

I've spoken to three people so far,

and they all said that they talked

to Marshall about Alice's cancelled

press conference that night.

Oh shit.

Okay, release him.

Sorry gov, I need to give you this.

What the hell happened to you?

Oh yes, dresden brothers.

Long story short, I was looking for clues

in kemp's house, I answered the door to the dresdens,

they mistook me for kemp,

badgered me without saying a word.

Hang on a minute.

You were in kemp's house and he wasn't even there.

Yeah, yeah, but like I said, you know,

I was looking for clues.

The front door was open, was it?

Well, no, no, but you know,

I just give the back door a wee jiggle, you know?

While you're under my command, if you break

into a property again without a warrant,

a black eye is gonna be the least of your problems.

Do I make myself clear?

Oo, you've done it now.

I'll go and talk to her,

no, no, I wouldn't go poking the bear just yet.

Nah, no let her get all the anger out of her system first.

What, what, shall I leave it an hour or so or something?

I'd make it more like three.

Three.

I'm home!

[Esther] Hello.

Scampy! [Laughs]

Hello.

Hello darling, how was your day?

Oh, my day was fine, how was yours?

Look what I've got.

What have you bought him now?

Film for the camera, because we've gotta get you

ready for your big shoot, haven't we, hey?

Yes, and you know what that means?

Oh please, no.

Yes, it's bath time. [Laughs]

[Scampy barking]

Come on then. [Laughs]

Scampy!

Good boy, come on.

Come, come, come, come.

Come on.

Be a good boy.

Come on.

[Scampy barking]

Oh scampy!

Come on, come on.

Come on.

[Scampy barking]

Scampy!

No, here, come here.

Scampy.

Up, up, up.

Up.

Come on, up, up, come on.

Come on.

Go on.

Here, here, no, here.

[Brian groaning]

Come on.

[Scampy panting]

Good boy scampy, there's a good boy.

In you go.

[Scampy barking]

- [Water splashing] - [Brian groaning]

Brian, what's going on?

[Brian groaning]

[Esther laughing]

I'm sorry.

[Brian panting]

[Tense music]

[Balls whacking]

[Crowd applauding]

[Fawn groaning]

- Game set. - Yes!

[Crowd applauding]

Yes!

Try the side door.

Okay, I'll see you in a minute.

[Woman] Thank you, Richard.

Hello Richard.

[Man clapping]

David?

Hello, I'm David, i'm a compulsive gambler.

- Hi David. - Hello David.

It's been two weeks and three days

since I last placed a bet.

My gambling has cost me everything,

my home, my wife, my children.

I think I've hit rock bottom,

well, I hope I have, but I'm on the way up.

Sorry.

You're a hard man to find, Mr. Kemp.

Did you visit Alice in her apartment

on the night she died?

No.

But you did go and see her during

the rain break at that last match.

Says who?

Jess.

Kids.

Well?

Just wanted to wish her good luck.

You expect us to believe that.

Believe what you like, mate.

If this has got anything to do

with the dresden brothers,

we can protect you, you know.

It doesn't and you can't protect me.

You can't even protect yourself.

What?

I hid in the under stair cupboard

when I saw you come to the house yesterday.

Not one of my finest moments,

but I saw what they did to you.

That was a different set of circumstances,

I mean, you know, they took me by surprise.

I can handle myself, but you worry about.

Okay.

That was a very candid introduction

you gave in the meeting there.

Sounded like you were really serious

about turning your life around.

Believe it or not, I've been there,

same place as you are now,

except mine wasn't gambling, it was the drink.

Gets you right there, doesn't it?

Right there in the guts, that yearning,

that fire that you believe can only

be quenched with one thing.

Well I wish I could tell you

it was gonna get easier, but I can't.

You're gonna have to fight that fire,

like I do, one day at a time,

for the rest of your life.

But I tell you this mate, one addict to another,

you're never gonna win that fight

if you hide from the truth of who you are,

and what you've done.

What the hell.

I went to see Alice to ask her to throw the match.

I owed a lot of serious people

a lot of money, and with Alice's run of form,

she was odds on to win the final,

so I bet every penny I could find

on Fawn bramall, and I asked Alice to lose.

You left it a bit late in the day

to ask Alice to throw the match, didn't you?

What if there hadn't been a break in play?

No, no, no, you already asked Alice

for the game before the match,

and she turned you down, didn't she?

I'd already placed the bets.

If Alice had won, I'd have been finished.

You saw what these kind of people

are prepared to do for a couple of lousy grand.

Just imagine what they'd do for 100.

So yeah, I was desperate.

I told Alice if she didn't throw the game,

well, I was as good as dead.

And Alice agreed to help.

Well, I'd say she didn't, she didn't even respond.

It was as if I wasn't there, or she wasn't there,

like she was in a trance or something.

And then the call came through that

the match was to restart, so I had to leave.

So Alice threw the match and you cleaned up.

Yeah, except she couldn't live

with what she'd done and she killed herself.

Is that what you believe happened?

That my addiction caused

the death of my daughter, absolutely, yes. [Sobs]

Nice touch.

What?

With the addiction thing.

It wasn't a touch.

[Gentle music]

Hello.

Your coat, dry cleaned.

You needn't have done that.

She insisted.

Well, thank you very much.

Happy?

Thank you.

Come along.

Back to training?

Oh no, it's a sponsorship commitment in eastbourne.

Oh.

Back in time for evening practise though.

Oh right.

You got that?

Yep.

Right, so.

Here you go, that's yours.

Oh great, thanks.

So are we gonna charge David kemp

for match fixing?

[Sandra] No, after all this time and without Alice,

the cps can't build a case.

But what about the murder?

What if she threatened to tell the truth

about him, then he killed her?

Well, he was certainly desperate enough,

but you know I think, I think

we got the truth out of him.

We?

All right, okay.

I don't want to rule him out as a suspect just yet.

What about if he was indirectly responsible

for her death, insofar as she was so ashamed about

throwing the match for her father that she killed herself?

From all we've learned about Alice,

I don't believe she'd just throw the match on purpose.

She was way too competitive.

But why the sudden drop in form after the rain break?

Well, it was the final, last big match

before she went professional,

she'd have been desperate to win it.

Maybe the pressure just got to her.

Well, maybe the early score is more to do

with Fawn's lack of form than Alice's superiority,

and after the rain break,

Fawn just simply upped her game

and Alice couldn't keep up.

No, no something happened to Alice,

I'm sure of it, during that rain break.

We find out what that was,

we find out how she died.

[Phone ringing]

Hello, ucos?

Oh yeah, right, I'll tell him, yeah.

Esther's here, she's in reception.

Sandra, can I?

Yeah.

She going somewhere?

Scampy's got an audition.

I've sent some photos of him

to this animal agency, and the bloke there

recons he's got a job scampy'd be perfect for.

Yeah, it's a national print campaign.

National, hey?

We could be about to witness the birth of a star.

[Gentle upbeat music]

Mr. Hemings will see you and scampy now.

Come on, frame yourself.

This is your big chance.

[Esther laughing]

Do what?

You must be joking.

You've no chance, pal.

[Scampy barking]

You can stick your job.

[Scampy barking]

Well, I've never been so insulted in all my life.

This national print campaign is a before and after

shot for a worming treatment.

They wanted scampy for the before.

[Esther] Brian.

Oh the humiliation, Esther.

We'd never been able to show our faces in the park again.

It's probably all for the best.

Come on.

You off already?

Shame.

You might have better luck

with that fuglies place I told you about.

They take on ugly pets as well as ugly people.

[Brian yelling]

Brian.

Hello Brian, how did scampy get on?

What, no good?

I don't want to talk about it.

Uniforms just charged the dresden with abh, yes!

Do that again.

What, yes.

[Elevator pinging]

That's it, that's what's missing.

[Crowd applauding]

[Fawn groaning]

[Irina] Yes!

Now watch.

We've seen all this before.

Alice falls apart after losing the match.

Not Alice, look at her opponent, Fawn bramall.

Now, what you see?

Well, she doesn't look very happy

for somebody who's just beaten a sworn enemy, you mean.

[Sandra] Because?

Because they're not sworn enemies at all,

what, they're pals?

Exactly, there's something going on between

Fawn and Alice that Fawn's not telling us.

Governor, I thought Fawn looked

at me strangely when she gave me

my coat back, now listen to this.

"Dear Mr. Standing, please forgive me

for contacting you like this,

but it's the only way of doing so safely,

without my mother finding out.

Contrary to what everyone thought,

Alice and I were the best of friends."

Yes, well done, gov.

"And I know why Alice's game fell apart

after the break, and I feel I must tell someone

for Jess' sake, if no one else."

For Jess' sake?

Right, well we need to speak to her, alone.

Thank you.

Right, you two stay in the car.

[Steve] Yeah, all right.

[Tense music]

[Ball whacking]

[Gerry] Hello Fawn.

Mom will be back in a minute,

she's just gone to the car.

No, no, we want to talk to you.

I got your letter.

Now, Sandra and I need to know

why you were so concerned about Jess.

Alice was my really good friend.

When she lost the match, I knew something was wrong,

so I tried her mobile, but she didn't pick up.

I faked illness and I went to bed early,

and then I snuck out and I went to Alice's apartment.

How was she?

Really upset.

She was so worried about Jess joining Nick hoyle's academy.

Alice had had this school girl crush

on Nick since she first met him.

When he started paying her attention, she felt flattered.

She even thought she was in love with him,

but when it got sexual, she realised it was wrong

what he was doing, but she didn't know what to do about it.

I was the only person she ever told,

and she swore me to secrecy.

Was she going to confront hoyle that night?

What are you doing?

Who gave you permission to speak to my daughter?

Please, Mrs. Bramall, we're just having

a little chat with her, that's all.

Was she gonna confront hoyle

at the apartment that night?

Fawn, say nothing.

They have no right to question you.

I don't know what to do.

Fawn, do what you think is the right thing to do.

Don't you dare say another word, young lady.

Fawn, Fawn look at me.

Will you shut up?

Pardon?

You heard me.

You told me not to say anything,

but I won't keep quiet. Not anymore.

How dare you talk to me like that?

Please, Mrs. Bramall.

I was in Alice's apartment when she was killed.

I was in the bathroom.

Alice was playing music, but I could hear the front door.

Did Alice buzz him in from the foyer?

No, I would have seen her do it.

I'd only just gone into the bathroom

when I heard the front door.

Whoever it was must've had a key.

Her voice was muffled,

but I could hear Alice arguing,

and then she went out onto the balcony.

Was it hoyle?

I don't know.

I assumed it was because of how angry she sounded.

I wasn't supposed to be there, so I waited ages,

and when I came out, Alice was gone.

I went home as quickly as I could,

and I told mom everything about hoyle, Jess, everything.

And she told you to keep quiet.

She told me any sort of scandal would taint my career.

It would cause a stain I wouldn't be able to lose,

but I didn't care about any of that,

it was Jess I was concerned about.

Mom promised me that if I kept quiet,

she'd speak to hoyle, make sure he didn't

do to Jess what he did to Alice.

No, it wasn't like that.

Alice was, well, she was special.

She was 14.

But we loved each other.

Love?

For the record, Mr. Hoyle, did you

or did you not initiate intimate

sexual relations with Alice kemp

from the date of her 14th birthday?

Look, it wasn't like that.

Alice made the first move, not me.

What difference does that make?

You were an adult, she was a child.

Let me put it another way, Mr. Hoyle,

do you deny having regular sexual intercourse

with Alice kemp from the date of her 14th birthday

until the time of her death?

It wasn't like that.

You're making it seem like something that it wasn't.

You guys are all the same, do you know that?

No, no, I'm not one of those guys.

I hate those guys.

Please, you have to understand.

Victoria, I'm sorry, but I have to ask you some questions.

Okay.

Did Alice say or hint that anything

was going on between her and Nick hoyle?

No, she loved Nick, we all did.

He was always so kind.

Do you know if he saw Alice after the match?

He knew that she'd be in no mood

to talk after such a big loss.

He said that he'd see us the next day at practise.

How did he react to Alice's death?

He was as devastated as the rest of us,

maybe more so, now I know why.

Jess, I mean, do you really think?

That's what our child protection team

are hoping to find out now,

but she's in good hands, I promise.

You must think I'm a terrible mother.

What am I saying?

I am a terrible mother.

No, you really mustn't think like that.

People like hoyle are master manipulators.

They're experts at concealing the truth.

During the rain break, Jess went to see Alice

to tell her she'd just won a scholarship

to your tennis academy.

That's why Alice was so shaken.

She knew you do the same to Jess as you'd done to her.

No, no, I never laid a finger on Jess.

[Brian] Why, 'cause she wasn't 14 yet?

Please, ask her if you don't believe me.

We are, we have specially trained officers

talking to her right now.

Along with every other child you've ever coached.

I never touched any of them.

I'm not the guy you think I am.

[Steve] Did you go to Alice's flat that night?

No!

I think you did, and I think Alice confronted you.

- No! - Did Alice threaten

to go to the police?

- Oh please. - Did she threaten

to expose you for abusing her?

No!

Is that why you killed Alice,

to stop her revealing the truth?

No, look, I never hurt Alice, never!

I loved her, I told you, I loved her.

I loved her.

Thanks, yeah, cheers.

What'd you get?

Hoyle's admitted to having underage sex with Alice,

but he denies interfering with any of the other kids.

According to child protection,

two other girls have come forward.

[Steve] What about Jess?

Looks like he'd been grooming her for months,

but he'd yet to make a move.

That's something at least.

Still makes me sick.

But we can charge hoyle with sexual abuse.

[Sandra] Yep.

What about Alice's murder?

Swears he didn't do it.

Do you believe him?

I don't know.

Well, the most important thing is that

we've contained the threat,

so let him stew in his cell overnight,

and then you two can have another go

at him in the morning.

In the meantime I need a drink, pub?

Why not?

Gerry?

No I can't tonight, no,

I've got some unresolved business to attend to.

Suit yourself.

Nighty-night.

[Upbeat music]

[Doorbell ringing]

I'll get it.

Grandad.

Watch it, champ!

Three times in one week, I am honoured.

Come on then, let's do it. [Laughs]

Cup of tea?

[Gerry] Yeah, I'd love one.

Pyjamas on and ready for bed, you.

Okay, mom.

Before you go, left or right?

[Gerry Jr.] Right.

How do you know that?

Thanks grandad.

- Ta-ra. - And clean your teeth.

[Gerry laughing]

You spoil him, you know?

Yeah I know. [Laughs]

Tell you what Paula, you've really done

this place up nicely, haven't you?

Come on then, out with it.

What?

Whatever it was you wanted to say last time

you were here and couldn't.

Dad.

Well, I was just thinking about you,

when you were a kid, I mean,

you really loved your football.

Is that what this is all about?

You wanted to remind me that I used to play football.

Yeah, but you enjoyed it so much,

and then you gave it up so easily.

I grew up, dad, I discovered boys

and clothes and going out.

Yeah, and didn't I know about it.

Yeah, I was a bit of a handful, wasn't I?

[Gerry] Not half. [Laughs]

What's this really about?

Well, I was just wondering if you ever regretted it.

What, giving up football?

Yeah, whether you felt I should have

pushed you harder, you know, supported you more,

made you turn professional.

Do you know the thing I loved

about you the most as a kid?

Well, obviously my sparkling personality.

You taught me to think for myself,

to take responsibility for my own actions.

Did I do that?

You always asked me what I thought.

You valued my opinion and trusted me

to make my own decisions about my life.

That means a lot to a kid.

[Gerry laughing]

What's so funny?

Well I can't figure out how I had a daughter

who was so clever.

I can't help wondering about those girls' childhoods.

How do you mean?

Well, they've been treated

like commodities since they were seven.

Thank you.

Ta.

I mean yeah, great, if they make it big, fine,

but what if they don't?

They've lost their childhoods for nothing.

You know what's bugging me?

Who else had a key to Alice's apartment?

[Phone ringing]

The boss.

Gov?

Steve's just made a really good point.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll meet you there, bye.

Sorry love, work.

[Both kissing]

I'll see you Sunday anyway,

when I take little Gerry to the football.

[Paula] Yeah.

[Gerry] Ta-ra!

Bye!

Victoria.

Everything okay?

Go, go in the house please.

I said go in the house, Jess.

Okay, okay.

Fawn bramall said that she hid

in Alice's bathroom on the night she died,

and she heard someone turn up,

someone who must've had a key.

When David abandoned us, I had to work two jobs

just to put food on the table.

When Alice found tennis, I had to work even harder,

lessons, equipment, uniform, it just never stopped.

But then there was a glimmer of hope.

Alice turned out to be good at tennis,

better than good, brilliant.

They told me that with the right training,

Alice could become world-class.

She could make enough money to drag us all out the sewer.

Alice told you that Nick hoyle had been abusing her

since she was 14, but you already knew, that didn't you?

What do you want to hear,

that I knew Nick was having a relationship with Alice?

Relationship, she was a child.

We all have to make sacrifices to get what we want,

Mr. Standing, Alice was no different.

So when you discovered that hoyle

had been abusing her, you just turned a blind eye.

Nick was the best junior tennis coach in the world.

I could never afford his services,

and here he was turning Alice into a champion for free.

Free isn't the word I'd use.

Can you believe this woman?

Is it always about the money with you, Victoria?

When you've been as hard up as we have,

little else matters.

How did Alice react when she found out

that you knew about hoyle?

She went berserk.

She blamed me for not protecting her,

when all I was doing was thinking

of Alice's future, of all of our futures.

That was always Alice's biggest failing,

she could never see past the next point, past the next game.

You know, she even threatened to expose me and Nick,

me, after everything I've sacrificed for her.

So you killed her?

No.

No, no, no, that was an accident.

We were so close to having it all.

I couldn't, I wouldn't let Alice take that away from me.

I'd earned it every bit as much as her.

She kept shouting and screaming about how I'd let her down.

We were on the balcony and she tried to hit me,

so I grabbed her.

She kept trying to pull away,

and I couldn't keep hold of her,

and then she slipped backwards

out of my arms and just disappeared.

I thought she'd vanished into thin air.

I couldn't work out where she'd gone for a moment,

until I heard that terrible sound.

And then you just left, didn't you?

You didn't think to help or call the police.

You saw the photos of Alice's body.

What could I have done?

I always had to think of the bigger picture.

What would have happened to Jess

if my part in Alice's death would have become known?

That would completely ruin Jess' future.

Yeah, even after all this happened,

you still let Jess join hoyle's academy.

Have you not listened to anything I've said?

Nick is the best junior tennis coach in the world.

He's gonna turn Jess into a superstar.

No he's not, because he's going to prison

for a long time and so are you.

Just through there.

Jess.

[Sombre music]

[Jess crying]

They charged her.

Manslaughter.

How's Jess?

I got her aunt to come and Fawn's with her.

Oh.

[Jess crying]

I think your Paula's a very lucky girl.
