Original subtitles

Who was that?

Oh, just everyone. Like Tillett, Dad.

- Press inquiries and stuff. - No, that last one.

My other lover.

Renee, it was just Renee, look.

Look.

This was your first major title.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

And your family, they are gonna be

- so crazy happy for you. - Yeah.

Your dad is gonna be on cloud nine.

Yeah, he put everything into me.

Yeah, yeah, we all did.

And now it's happening.

- Mm-hm. - Just like I said it would.

- You did! - Yeah, and...

You just can't...

...ruin it.

If anyone ever hears

what happened between us in Russia...

Glenn, I swear on my life, I would never tell.

I just wanna be ready for the French.

What's that?

It's the NDA.

Do you think I should sign it?

Yes, I do.

Use the money to do something for yourself.

Didn't you always wanna try windsurfing?

No...

You need to move forward, now.

We all do.

Do you know you're doing that?

What?

- What? - The more we talk

the more you're picking up my accent!

I've been to Orlando.

Every year!

- Mm-mm. - No?

No, you know it's actually this thing

called, "The Chameleon Effect."

We mimic each other's speech patterns

cos of our innate instinct to empathize, connect.

Yeah, I don't think I do that.

No?

Well, maybe you're just

trying to make me comfortable

so you can get me on your side.

- See, you got me. - Uh-huh.

Are you ever off the clock?

That phrase literally does not compute.

Clients must be queuing up.

Hey, Luca!

- Yo. - What time...

...do you leave in the morning?

When the car picks me up.

It's just a few days to recharge. Enjoy it.

And...

...sorry again for being late, today.

Ah, don't worry.

- Gotta be there for your kids. - Yeah.

See ya.

He's visiting a local spa.

Working on his relationship

- with the English countryside. - Mm.

I've just seen someone I need to talk to.

- Politics, it's endless. - Can I give you my card?

- Sure. - I'd like to talk more.

Let me give you mine. Give me a call.

Yes.

- Some more coffee, please. - Yes, of course, anything else?

No, that's fine.

Hey Philip. See you next time, ciao.

Shall I get your car, Mr Barzaghi?

Yeah, thank you sir.

Guess I shouldn't be polluting your atmosphere.

You don't look like a smoker.

Stress of the job.

Is Glenn adding to that?

I asked for it.

Course, no-one will be surprised by today's outcome.

Of the...

Disciplinary hearing, no.

You know, Justine Pearce is not no-one.

It's a story, a headline.

That's the problem.

"A-List coach in abuse scandal."

Just not a swamp you guys wanna be swimming in, right now.

- You know. - Mr Barzaghi.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

I will! Go home, relax.

Mikki, hi.

Hey! Glenn, sorry I missed you.

No problem.

I know it's last minute, but are you...

Would you be free to meet later this afternoon?

Yes, OK.

Brilliant, I... I can text you the details.

Sounds great, I'll see you then.

Bye.

Gotcha.

I had some drinks.

I can see that.

The relief... hit me really hard.

Mon amour. I'm proud of you.

Yesterday was horrible.

I know.

- But now... - Mm?

The hearing's over,

Justine's gonna sign the NDA,

and we can finally get on with our lives.

What is it?

I think you're underestimating her.

Why would she sign an NDA

after everything she's put us through.

Andi's got it all in hand.

What, Longwood's paying her?

What, you don't think that's a good investment?

I think brushing your teeth would be.

All right, I'm on it, I'm on it.

Look.

I know how dangerous Justine is.

Which is why I'm interviewing a new PR manager today.

Oh?

Prestige, boutique, up-and-coming.

And a woman?

Yeah, she's a real attack dog.

I have a session...

...with the exchange players at nine.

Skip it.

Those Florida kids can take care of themselves.

Oh no...

I need to make use of the time while Luca's away.

OK.

Um...

I'm heading out. See you later.

I have to know that this is over.

For my sanity.

I lost, didn't I?

It's not about the hearing.

You know that.

I know you're not just after a pay-out.

I don't care about money.

No.

No, I think you see this as a game.

A way to keep a connection with Glenn.

You were infatuated with my husband

when he was your coach.

And you're still infatuated with him.

I'd like you to leave.

You will sign that NDA...

...today.

And if you ever come near my family again,

I'll break more than your wrist.

Do you understand me?

Yeah.

That's it!

Good.

Chase!

Good, better.

Much better! Much better.

I didn't know whether you'd make it today.

I promised three sessions, didn't I?

Argh! Ugh, God damn it!

Hey!

You are a guest at our academy!

Do you think this behavior is acceptable?

No.

Then what were you thinking?

I keep missing the same shot!

This is Luisa Molina.

I didn't come to the UK for finishing school.

You realize you're embarrassing yourself

in front of a French Open champion?

I'm not embarrassed.

I remember you very well from Orlando, Luisa.

You know what I always say?

Anger is like petrol.

It can power your engine,

or it can send you up in a fireball,

you have to control it.

Yeah, like Barzaghi controls it?

OK. Let me see your technique, Luisa...

...so maybe I can help you.

That's it, weight on the front foot.

Let's try one more, drive it through.

Good!

And drive it through!

Better!

Show me your serve.

Hey!

What you...

You're not leaving?

Uh... didn't Andi tell you?

No she didn't.

Yeah, I've been made redundant.

Effective today, and I'm banned from Longwood grounds.

The client files are all up to date, so...

Justine...

You're great at this job.

Um...

What are you gonna do?

Dunno, windsurfing?

Look.

I know yesterday was a shit-show, yeah,

and things didn't go the way you wanted, but...

...can they really take your job?

Even if they didn't believe a word you said about Glenn.

Do you believe me?

I don't know.

Justine...

Justine, I...

Can we brief the press before the final,

cos I think that they're too...

I'm in the middle of something.

I'm giving you what you wanted.

I think it's the right decision.

I just wanna forget this ever happened.

Steve, can you accompany Justine out of Longwood

via the Rook Road exit, please.

Yep.

Fuck you.

Justine!

Justine!

Will you stop?

Why can't you just leave me alone?

Because I care, you maniac!

Watching you go through all that yesterday

was fucking traumatic, to be honest.

Look, I don't want you to hate me,

and I don't want you to feel alone.

Great, yeah, at least we know what you want.

I'm gonna go do the walk of shame by myself now,

you at least owe me that.

And... stop!

Keep that elbow high.

- I don't like this position. - Try it.

I can't get the pace with it!

You don't have to use all of your power all of the time.

Why wouldn't I?

Cos you'll get tired.

You'll leave yourself open to injury.

Don't want you to burn out.

I won't, ever.

No, it's just... it's too dark.

It's boring, she's the new star of the French Open.

It needs to be more fun!

More colorful, younger.

Let me help you.

I feel so awkward.

We should have a code.

No-one here ever introduces themselves to me.

And they're all speaking French.

Just there.

Yeah.

That means I'm always with you.

Are you spying on me?

No, I was just watching.

Watching.

Is she as good as I was?

Stop taking this out on yourself.

Has she got what it takes?

It's very tiring.

Conjuring nightmares everywhere you go.

It makes the world into something it's not.

You're becoming someone you were never meant to be.

I'm no-one.

That's not true.

That will never be true.

There is more to life than tennis.

I don't want there to be.

You can't be here.

Not after everything that happened yesterday.

I signed the NDA.

OK.

OK, that's good.

This is a... it's a good day for you.

I really think you can start again.

I really do.

I've gotta go.

OK.

- Yeah, come on through. - Wow, the flowers!

- Yeah. - The vines!

This is so impressive!

Yeah, they've been here forever.

How long have you been here?

That's how you train for PR, you have to be good,

understanding people, understanding body language.

Sorry, this is my wife, Khalida!

- Oh hello! - Hi.

- Nice to meet you! - You must be Mikki.

Thank you for having me.

I was just telling Glenn,

people used to follow players,

but now they really follow sport.

They wanna know how champions are made, and who makes them.

- Yep. - You know?

Every individual player can be a champion,

but as a coach, you make many champions.

And for a lot longer, so...

...who's got the real power?

- I like her. - Who's got the power?

Wow, thank you.

Sorry, that's Luca, I need to take this.

- Of course. - Thank you.

What part of relaxation don't you understand?

What happened to, "Circle of trust," man?

What are you talking about?

The hearing yesterday.

Justine Pearce.

Did you really think I wouldn't find out?

You do this shit on my doorstep, and you don't even tell me?

- Luca... - And that crap about your kids.

It's not what you think.

Look, have your massage,

- take a swim... - Sure, sure, man.

I'll jump back in a two-inch pool

and catch some of the non-existent fucking rays

in this cow-filled swamp!

Let's follow up and discuss when you're back.

Eat shit!

Bye.

Big spread on Glenn's return to the UK.

He's back at Longwood, coaching the next generation.

That'll make a positive piece, don't you think?

- I was just saying to Mikki. - Yeah.

What we need right now is a positive spin piece.

- You know? - Yeah.

Something that celebrates the French Open,

but also gives a personal window into your life,

- and your choices. - Yeah.

How hard you've worked to get here.

- That's a good idea. - Yeah.

And great timing for the run-up to the Championships.

Yeah, yeah I think so.

Listen, take some time.

- Think about it, all right? - No!

No, I wanna see what you can do.

Performance is everything, right?

I think we can pay for a trial period.

Could you commit to stay on board

until the end of the tournament?

- Uh... - Say yes.

Deal.

Deal, great.

Wonderful, great news. Thank you.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Cheers!

Celebrating a spectacular performance

on the court today.

A proud moment for newcomer Luisa Molina!

Is your coach here with you today?

I don't have a coach, I'm here with my family.

My mom and this little monster, hey!

Aw fantastic, well congratulations to you,

congratulations to Luisa Molina,

our new champion, Orlando, Florida.

What's up?

Sarah's mom's died.

Oh shit.

She's going on compassionate leave.

It's the biggest match of my career,

and I haven't got a coach.

Have they done the draw?

Yep.

- Who've you got? - Kopecky.

- I've never even beaten her. - I have, you'll be fine.

Especially without Sarah, I never even rated her.

What?

I'm saying that you'll be OK.

Well I wanna be better than OK!

Yeah... course.

Don't you think I've got what it takes?

You know I do.

I'm not even worthy of your full attention.

That hearing was just about revenge.

Did you even think twice

about putting me in that shitty position?

You were there as my friend.

Yeah, but you see me as

a player who could never compete with you.

What are you talking about?

I thought when you chucked in the towel,

you might actually give me a break.

My wrist got smashed, actually.

Yeah, and you never even finished physio.

What?

Look, I wasn't the shining star at 16,

but I worked.

It's made me stronger.

Yeah, of course it has...

Why do you never think I can win?

Renee, I haven't said that!

- Thanks for coming. - See you soon.

- Bye guys! - OK, bye-bye.

- Bye! - Bye!

- What did he say? - You were right.

Justine told Luca about the hearing, he lost his mind.

You were cleared of all her accusations.

Oh, so what!

Justine's gonna keep fucking with me

until my career is over.

No amount of shiny PR can make that go away.

- Did she sign the NDA? - Yeah.

OK, so this was her final roll of the dice, hm?

The only card left, and she played it.

Now she can't touch you.

And what should I do about Luca?

You know what to do about Luca.

- Glenn... - Yeah, b...

This is our life.

Yeah.

What... is... this?

You don't like me that much.

I know you don't fancy me, critical error on your part...

- ...but I respect that... - I need to ask you something.

And maybe I just want you to tell me I'm crazy.

OK, I can do that.

What do you know about Luisa Molina?

Luisa Molina?

- From the exchange program? - Yeah.

I don't know.

Backhand's pretty tight. Double faults are a concern.

- Her power is... - No, I mean about her.

Well she's got a Latin temper.

Which I'm not allowed to say anymore.

Religious background.

Quiet, except for when she's letting rip.

Been with Silver Star for two years now.

Was Glenn teaching there then?

Might've done a few sessions, like he's doing here.

But he had Barzaghi.

And the tour.

Why are you asking me about her?

Oh... no.

No!

Yeah but it's possible, isn't it?

Look, I don't like the guy.

But I haven't seen anything to give weight

to what, I'm sorry to say,

sound like angry, jealous fantasies.

Luisa's a kid.

She's got talent, she's right at the beginning.

You've gotta stop listening to those voices in your head.

They'll just drag you down to

a place you might never get out of.

Forget Glenn.

Argh!

You are not a perfect athlete.

Why, because I get angry?

No.

Because you use that anger to punish yourself.

And that stops you being the player

that you need to be to win.

So until you can control that anger,

you need to discharge it.

Squeeze.

Come on.

Break its bloody seams.

That's not possible, I can't.

You were late to split step.

You had the wrong grip.

You didn't just lose the shot,

you lost your focus.

You opened up a drain on your talent.

Now shut... it... off.

That's it.

Now get rid of it.

We'll be playing one full set

with a sudden death at deuce across six courts.

And we will thrash it out to a final this afternoon.

We'll repeat this tournament

at the midpoint of your time at Longwood,

and again at the end.

With the final two winners keeping their trophies.

Yes, so have a wonderful day playing tennis,

and make your mark.

Good luck!

Let's do this!

There you go!

Nice shot!

All right, good pace, good pace.

Keep it up.

Nice work guys, nice work!

Alex, move!

I'd actually be quite jealous of how talented they are.

But now we're all under the same banner,

- I can enjoy it. - They're good kids.

Just need one of them to pop,

then we get in there early...

What? Literally represents millions of pounds.

You know, my first boss

used to refer to them as, "Pork bellies."

He literally talked about them by the pound.

Hm?

Glenn, what is it?

Justine blabbed to Luca.

She's trying to ruin my relationship with him.

Well then we go in on her hard. She's signed an NDA.

She doesn't care about legalities.

She'll do or say

whatever it takes to ruin my reputation.

Can't even prove she broke the NDA.

But what if Luca...

Luca is gonna blow at some point,

Andi, you know that.

We've a decent shot at the slam, but then it's...

What then?

It's gotta be me walking away from him.

Oh...

It's the only narrative that works for Longwood.

You know the press are gonna be all over this

on the build up to the Championships.

If they just get a whiff of scandal

- then we're fucked. - Yeah.

Bad luck, should've seen that coming!

Out, deuce!

Whatever you have to do to shut her up,

I am right behind you.

That's 15.

Trouble that girl.

I know.

Hi David, Mikki Easton here.

I am Glenn Lapthorn's PR manager.

Do you have enough time for a quick chat any time this week?

Thank you.

Hearings like that are always unpleasant.

Mm, and the allegations, were they a shock to you?

Look.

Glenn did talk to me about these things.

He's always taken responsibility.

He's always been very good at staying in control.

Pepijn Saltzherr could write a book about it.

- Pepijn... - Saltzherr.

- Glenn's former coach. - Oh...

Tennis coaches are controlling by nature,

and that's the real reason

Justine got as far as she did.

The girl wasn't stable.

We all saw it.

Glenn reported it, and in the end,

we couldn't manage it.

Well I suppose you can't blame Longwood

for taking it seriously.

Absolutely not, there are people who do this.

Normally, serial offenders, but...

Everyone wants there to be fire where there's smoke.

Especially these days.

But Glenn never fit the profile of a bad apple.

In fact, in my eyes, he behaved impeccably.

Hm... that's great.

Thank you for your time.

Mm-hm, not at all.

Everyone please take your seats

for the final match of the tournament.

- Thank you. - Go, Luisa!

Hello?

I know you told Luca about the hearing.

No I haven't, I've never even spoken to Luca before.

My new PR manager

is your worst nightmare, Justine.

And right now, she has just one job.

Yes!

15-love.

If you do not cease and desist

and leave me the fuck alone,

she will expose things...

...that will cause you and your family pain.

Is that what your dad would've wanted?

30-15.

Come on! Go on, Luisa!

I will not contact you again

and you will not contact me,

this ends now.

Come on, Luisa!

Ugh!

You like that?

40-15.

Game, set and match, Luisa Molina.

Which makes Luisa Molina

the winner of today's tournament.

Congratulations, Luisa.

You're a champion!

Congratulations, beautiful play, bravo!

I'm really sorry Glenn couldn't make the presentation.

I'll win it twice more.

It's so good to see Tara get thrashed, well done!

A few of us are gonna head down the road to The Leveret.

A drinking establishment?

Thought we'd show Silver Star

a slice of local culture.

Hm, God help them.

Training 8am, no excuses.

Are you coming?

Sure.

Mr Saltzherr, you seem like the perfect contributor.

I sweet-talked your old agent to get your number.

I hope you don't mind.

So what is it,

some big puff piece?

I think it can be more than that.

Glossy and positive of course,

but something with a new angle.

A real insight into the man,

I'm talking to some formative people from his life,

like you, Mr Saltzherr,

to get the inside scoop on how Glenn thinks.

Most of the time we say that tennis is played in the mind.

Glenn had no problem with that.

He had a cool head.

And when I was coaching him,

he made the absolute best of what he had.

So, what happened?

As soon as he realized that,

you know, he wouldn't be, "number one,"

he retired early, got into coaching.

I mean, it's a complex psychological move

to help others achieve your own dream.

Well Glenn always needed respect.

He needed to be in control.

And he needed to be the best at what he did.

How far does the control go?

How deep into their personal lives?

All the way.

Everything.

I don't need to tell you that this one's gonna go quick.

- My number is on the back. - Thanks.

- OK? - Yeah, thank you.

So any questions, just let me know.

Lovely.

What you doing here?

What's wrong?

I didn't have anywhere else to be.

OK.

That couple have got a little boy,

it's perfect.

I knew it was a good idea to make it into a child's room.

I heard about the hearing.

I just don't know

how you could put yourself through that.

Maybe there's something wrong with me.

I've been at Longwood for so long, and I don't...

...know who I am outside of it.

Maybe this summer...

...we could go away together?

Oh...

Yeah, well I'm freelance.

And you've got some time, and...

...we could just let it all blow over.

You know what we need to do now?

What?

Pizza.

With that disgusting dip you like.

I love it so much.

Right, come on.

Come on, I'm just gonna tidy up here,

and then we'll grab some on the way home.

Mom, I can't do pizza. I'm so sorry.

OK, so how about you?

Is there a man in your life?

- Only one. - Let's see.

It's my little brother, Matteo.

Aw, he's so cute.

Hey!

Hey!

Is everything OK?

I've been calling you.

Well, not really.

- No... - Um... I signed an NDA.

What?

I probably shouldn't have.

I wish you'd talked to me about it.

- Why, what could you have done? - I would've...

...you know, helped you see the situation more clearly.

Justine?

I know you feel like you've lost.

I did lose.

But you can't just give in to it!

Do you like... know this girl or something?

What?

You just keep looking over there.

Let's drink.

- No. - Tequila?

You know that won't help.

OK, well if you can't help,

and everyone else can't help,

and a few shots won't help, then...

Justine...

I'm just fucked, aren't I?

No, you're not.

I met Glenn!

- What? - Yeah.

Where?

At a reception at Queens.

- Did you talk to him? - Yeah I sat next to him.

I was trying to reach you, to tell you.

So, what... why would you?

Because you haven't got anything on him,

and this man is covered in shit.

I found a way in.

He just hired me.

I'm his new PR manager.

I went to his house.

Do you realize the access this will give us?

So you've set up meetings with my ex-coach

not once, but twice?

Who do you think you are in this story, Mikki?

Someone who might actually be on your side!

No, you want a piece of me,

a piece of all of this for some fucking story.

How can you be missing the point?

Do you wanna further your career

or do you fancy him, what is it?

Oh my God!

You're jealous because you

still have feelings for Glenn!

You know nothing about it!

A sexual predator!

You need help, Justine.

But I don't think I'm the one who'll be that.

I don't want that, I don't want you to.

OK?

So can you please just go?

And we went on, like, two dates.

- Five dates. - Really awkward dates.

- So I called... - Hey, it's you from the Gala!

Hey!

Yeah, hey!

- Hi! - How are you guys?

You're so great!

I don't know why Longwood

doesn't rave about you more.

How's your wrist?

Yeah, good as new.

Do you wanna come out with us?

We're going somewhere else?

We're with a tournament winner,

and a Grand Slam alumna.

Call me a social climber...

That's exactly what you are.

Are we going somewhere, or not?

What do you say?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Sounds fun.

Hey, Luca!

Luca!

You know,

you're the worst kind of hypocrite.

No...

A coach... protects... his player.

You keep all this shit to yourself.

When I'm not allowed any privacy!

The privacy and secrets are not the same thing, Luca.

Look, bringing you back...

...to this level...

...has been a long series of risks,

and investments.

You love lording that over me.

I saw what was happening to you.

When you had no stability, and no trust around you.

And I will raise cities

before I allow your confidence

to be smashed up like that again.

So yeah, when some stupid,

unfounded allegations are made against me,

why would I share that with you?

I'm a professional,

and I can deal with the everyday shit

of being successful without spreading it around.

But I can't deal...

...with losing ground

with the progress that we've made, Luca.

I pulled you out of the lion's den.

I signed you up...

...and I got you back on the rails.

It was a crack den.

It was a bit of a crack den.

But I never questioned my gut.

And I've never looked back.

OK, man.

We're in this together.

For better...

...and for worse.

For the title.

For the title.

Yeah you've a little glint in your eye,

I know that you're obsessed.

What can I get you?

So, we're doing this?

- Yes, yes. - Yeah.

Can we get some tequila, please?

- No, sambuca! - Sambuca?

- Yes! - Sambuca please.

Do you want one?

- Sambuca? - I don't drink, thanks.

No, just five.

Five sambucas, yeah?

Five sambucas please, sir, thank you so much.

- Brilliant. - Thanks so much.

Didn't have to do that!

Oh my God, my pleasure!

- This place is awesome! - Good, isn't it?

Kiki's been talking about this place for weeks!

Back home if Silver Star finds out you're drinking,

- you're done! - Yeah?

This place is really cool.

No, it's really good! I really like it.

Cheers!

Yeah!

Now we're good.

You coming?

No, I'm OK.

- Yeah? - Thanks.

Fucking love this song!

Is Luisa not dancing?

- Don't know, I'll have a look. - Yeah.

Sure you don't wanna come dance?

No, I'm good.

Come on, you're coming. Let's go, come on!

Look who I found!

Yay!

It's really hot, isn't it?

Do you want some water?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks!

There's your water.

Thank you so much. Can we get some um...

...uh, lime cordial in this,

and vodka please.

- In this jug? - Yeah, please.

Thank you.

Remember that time, yeah?

Remember that time, no?

You guys look so cute together!

Oh my God, how long have you been dating?

Luisa!

Luisa!

Oh!

Oh shit! Is she OK?

Luisa!

Come on!

Can you stand, can you stand?

Whoa, don't move!

How'd you get that scar?

Scar?

It's a shark bite, actually.

- Yeah, right. - It is.

It is, really.

I had a shark's tooth...

...on a necklace.

Wow, that's gross.

And lame.

Can we not talk about this, please?

No, what happened?

- I was on a roller-coaster. - Yeah.

And the necklace, I was wearing it.

And it got caught.

- Oh my God! - Yeah, yeah.

Under the shoulder harness, and ripped right across.

I screamed like a baby.

And everyone thought I was scared of the ride.

But it was actually really painful.

The truth is more embarrassing.

That is enough out of you!

Stop, stop, stop...

Shit, shit!

How long have you been sleeping with Glenn?

You should be ashamed of what you tried to do to him.

Those lies...

They weren't lies.

You're delusional.

No.

He was never interested in you in that way.

You're jealous.

Because I have everything that you want.

Glenn loves me.

Now get out.

Before I tell Longwood that you broke in.

You know, no-one's gonna believe anything

you say about me and Glenn.

He doesn't feel anything.

For anyone.

If you think that...

...you really don't know him at all.
