A former tennis prodigy makes an expl*sive allegation against her former coach with whom she reached a semi-final at the French Open.

01x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

Where are you?

You're gonna throw it at me.

Why would I do that?

I don't trust you.

Yeah you do,
you don't trust yourself.

The shot in your mind

needs to be as real as what’s
being played on the court.

A carbon copy, from angle,
to pace, to positioning.

You imagine the perfect shot,
and then you make it happen.

Did that go over?

You there?

Did it go over?

It went in!

D'you know what you are?

You're a f*cking superstar.

I'm glad you came over
last night.

You hold your breath
when you sleep.

Crazy dreams.

I can see that.

- sh*t, it's dead.
- Oh, I shut it off.

It was buzzing all night.

Hey, you don't need to hide.

You told the truth.

He'll know by now,
won't he?

What I've said about him?

Probably.

But you've done nothing wrong.

You don't know me.

I know a lie when I hear one.

Come here.

Wow, you're sweaty!

Sorry.

It's OK, I don't mind.

You said it wouldn't
be forgettable.

Now, can I get in
on those dreams?

No, no.
You lost the French Open.

I remember that very clearly.

Such a fuss about
that Pearce girl.

She was nothing special.
Nothing at all.

It was five years ago.
It's the past, Dad.

Glenn won the French Open
four days ago.

With Luca Barzaghi.

What is she saying?

Luca. Luca Barzaghi, Dad.

- Never heard of him.
- You have.

Zaneta sent pictures of you two
watching the final together.

Remember?

Charles.

Would you like to see some
pictures of your grandsons?

They look nothing like you.

Or me, for that matter.

- I'll see you outside.
- Yeah.

I don’t know how
you ended up with an Arab,

when you were surrounded
by the creme de la creme.

I will never
apologize for making

that incredible woman my wife.

I'm sorry that you can't
remember losing Mum.

I’m sorry that
the cells of your brain

aren’t communicating
like they used to,

but none of this sh*t
is new to us.

Now, my family
and I have moved home.

And you will treat us
with respect,

while we try and make just a few
happy memories for the boys.

Am I clear?

Hm.

Why do you only show your best

when you're backed
into a corner, hm?

f*ck!

You didn’t think you could drop
a b*mb like that and disappear?

They’re questioning everyone.
My mum, Steve.

- It's f*cking stupid.
- Miss Pearce, this is DCI Shaw.

We’d like you to
come down to the station

as soon as possible.
You don’t need an appointment,

just give your name
at the desk.

- What's wrong?
- Why question me again?

Things like this are serious.
They take a long time!

What if I made a mistake?

What kind of a mistake?

In telling them.
I was really drunk,

- and I was angry, and...
- What?

It’s all true.
It just suddenly feels...

...really real.

- We could've driven him home.
- Busy, busy. Very good.

Did you call a taxi?

No, my daughter driving us home.

- Ah! Apolenka, hi!
- Hey!

You’re still driving Dad around.
Thought you’d escaped.

Well I have, mostly.

Finally got my little business
up and running.

Oh, congratulations! We’ll all
come see you soon at Harestock.

Yeah, we'd love that.

Where's my wife?

- It's OK.
- Colleen?

- It's OK. We go.
- Colleen?

Where is that woman?

We go home now, have some tea.

See you soon, Dad.

- Bye, Zaneta.
- Bye.

He really thinks
your mum’s still with us.

That's no excuse.

Glenn!

f*cking as*h*le!
f*ck! Did you see him?

- Stop!
- Calm down!

Jesus Christ.

Sorry.

Your father is a bigoted coward.

But it's made you a better man.

We should have cancelled lunch.

All it takes is for
one person to believe her.

Justine's going to look back
on what she said with shame.

Believe me.

She's been sitting on
a world of pain,

powerless to change
what happened to her.

Then you hit
the big time, and...

and suddenly, she sees a way
to get back in the picture.

I hate her for it.

But I'd be lying...

...if I said I didn't understand
how she got here.

It's just...
just very, very sad.

How many people
have you spoken to?

Our policy is to start close
to home and work outwards.

Have you spoken to
Steve O’Callaghan?

We did.

What did he say?

We both kind of fancied him.

She'd tell me about
her latest fantasy about him,

and I'd try and top it.

I mean looking back,

it probably wasn’t the
healthiest use of our downtime.

Did Glenn know about it?

God, no.

We never did it
in front of him.

So far,
the statements we've taken

don't correlate
with your version of events.

What about my mum?

Look...

...if Justine's not happy
with something, she kicks up,

...so everybody knows about it.

She has always been
very strong-willed and vocal.

I'm sorry. None of this
makes any sense.

Justine, it’s very possible that
the evidence just isn’t there

to support your accusations.

What did Glenn say, by the way,
about our relationship?

Relationship?

Sorry, I don't really
know what to call it.

You made accusations
of sexual as*ault.

Are you now saying that you were
in a consensual relationship?

Wouldn't that still
be wrong of him?

Like, he was paid to coach me.

Justine, were you forced
into sexual activity

against your will?

No.

But he was my teacher?

If you’d been
under 16 at the time,

that would’ve been
a criminal offence.

She was under 18.

Don’t we have an abuse of trust
situation here?

No, an abuse of position
of trust, no we don't.

Sports coaches weren’t classed
as a position of trust in 2018.

They were exempt
from those rules.

- We have no offenses.
- So...

What does that mean, "exempt?"

What it means is that consensual
relations between a coach

and a player aged 16 to 18
prior to June 2022

aren’t covered
by the new legislation.

So there's nothing we can do.

So, with respect,
whether your allegations

are true or not,
no criminal offense

means no criminal investigation.

You have no case.

I'll be back in a second.

So much for being
in my corner.

You haven’t answered
my messages.

You f*cking sided with Glenn.
Sold me out.

Are there sides?

Still in the palm of his hand.

Always knew
how to keep you there.

- You attacked him.
- What?

Come on. We know you’d
be first to tell me

if something happened
between you. Really happened.

- Making this up?
- Wouldn't lie for anyone.

Wouldn’t have had to lie.

Was a stupid game
between you and me.

Not what this is about.

Saw you at the French Open.
You kissed him.

Thought he was gonna
have a heart attack.

We were sleeping together.
We were in love!

- You had fantasies about him.
- At first.

You said you knew things went
further than they should’ve.

Because you pushed it!

Christ, we both thought
he was hot,

but you have to draw a line
between what's in your head...

Why can't you believe me?

Because you lie
about everything.

- That's not true.
- You lie...

...to our clients,
and I cover for you.

You lie to Renee,
who’s your best friend,

about where you’re going
and who you’re with,

because, I don’t know,
you’re afraid she’ll judge you.

You lie to me
about loving your work,

and I love you for it.

You find an angle that
makes life liveable,

and you commit.

But this is going too far.

I found Glenn's watch.

- Whatever this is...
- Listen to me.

It was in my flat, the morning
after he won the French Open.

Glenn was with Renee that night.

They're sleeping together.

You know, maybe that’s
why no-one stood up for me.

Glenn didn't leave France until
the morning after the final.

He got into London about 9 a.m.
I booked his family's tickets.

Andi was climbing the walls

about him being back in time
for the investor meeting.

What you're saying...
is impossible.

- That's much better.
- OK!

Good.
I want nothing short.

When you're in
the neutral position,

just turn your grip slightly,

so it's semi...

Did that go in?

No.

Like I said, visualization
is incredibly hard.

Well, your confidence exercise
just made me feel like sh*t.

Do we look down on tadpoles
for not being frogs?

You calling me a tadpole?

No.

Do you speak to your wife
like this?

Look you are improving, so...

with the right conditions,
everything is possible.

You'd like to think so.

Bye.

I don't know what's changed.

She's never acted
this way before.

It could be nerves.

We'll be in Paris in two weeks.

The French is serious pressure.

Mm.

Look, I'll nip this
in the bud today,

- but if she comes to you...
- Oh, yeah.

- I'm here for her.
- Yeah. Thanks, buddy.

Oh, I thought you were at work.

I just need to stay
for a few nights.

You know the police came
to see me. The police.

They said you didn't
stand up for me.

Stand up? I am furious with you.

How could you destroy
all of those good memories?

And the work that people poured
into you to push you forward?

- OK.
- So glad your dad's not here

to see you do this.

He gave up everything for you!

It looks better.
Does it feel better?

You missed all
these weeks of rehab.

Now is the time, the only time,

if you wanna
play again at that level.

- I don't.
- Look, sweetheart.

I know you wanna give up.
I know what that's like.

I feel it more often
than I want you to know,

but I keep going, for you.

It hurts. I'm telling you,
it hurts. And I can't eat!

I can't think!

Do you think some of that pain
might be a bit in your head?

You're in my head!

You're all in my head!

Justine, what are you doing?
Stop it!

Justine, wait Justine! Stop it!

I shouldn't have
said that about your dad.

Do you think it was my fault?

I put him through so much.

Come on, love.

It was a heart attack.

Please don't put
that guilt on yourself.

I've tried my best to keep going
and you have to, too.

f*ck.

- Hello?
- Justine,

are you still at Longwood?

Why would the police
pass their files on to Longwood?

Well, just because there isn’t
an ongoing criminal case,

it doesn’t mean
there wasn’t a breach

of best practice
coaching standards.

Obviously, I’m gonna carry out
further investigations here,

but there is no doubt in my mind
that your allegations

should be followed up
with a disciplinary hearing.

- A hearing?
- It's the best thing to do,

and the right thing to do.

You see, Justine, it is crucial
to me and to Longwood,

to reach the truth
of what actually happened

between you and Glenn.

Would we be in the same room?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

But you can bring a friend
for support on the day.

In the meantime, I understand
sharing a workspace with Glenn

might make you uncomfortable,

so maybe you’d like to just
take a short break from work?

It’ll be paid of course.

Sure, fine.

What should I be doing?

Well, I think you should
go through your statement.

Make sure that the dates,

and details of your allegation
are correct.

I’ve reached out to
the British Tennis Association,

and they have a huge
amount of support available.

So they will be getting
in touch.

Why? What about?

Well, maybe...

...you’d like to
speak to a professional

about how you’re feeling.

- If this hearing happens...
- Mm-hm.

- ...and I win...
- Mm-hm.

...then everyone will know
that I'm not lying.

Of course.

OK, thank you.

There’s no rest for
these French Open champions...

Ah! That's good!

I got you there.

- Let's go again.
- Yeah.

That's good!

Shoulders back.
Let's speed it up a bit, yeah?

Yeah, I know.

Let's run it again.

You've gotta use your legs more.

What the hell?

Do you know how
worried I've been?

Sorry, I went a bit crazy.

No sh*t!

What happened at the Gala?

- Did I do something?
- No, you didn't...

You didn't do anything.

Right.

So...

...what's all this stuff
you've been saying about Glenn?

No, that's different.
That's all true.

Longwood are taking it
really seriously, actually.

There's gonna be a hearing.

But...

...all these years,
you never told me any of it.

Yeah...

It was a secret.

He was my coach, and...

...he didn't want
anyone to know,

and then...

...when it was over,
neither did I.

The police came
and asked me about it.

I didn’t know what to say.

Don’t worry,
nobody backed me up.

But I didn't have a clue!

When you were on tour, I didn’t
hear from you for months,

and when you got back,
all you did was train.

Maybe if we’d seen
each other more,

you’d have told me
something then.

But you didn't.

No, I didn't.

Well...

...I couldn't help,
because I didn't know.

But I'm here now.

Where’s your coach?
It’s qualifiers next week.

Oh, Sarah’s mum’s not well.

She said two days,
but it’s been four.

I’m doing my best,
but I’m on my own.

You can’t be without a coach,
it’s the championships.

You’ve a good chance
of qualifying this year.

I know, but there's no-one else.

Maybe I could train with you?

- Are you serious?
- Yeah, course.

- Really? Yes?
- Yes.

- Yes!
- Of course. Of course I will.

Quick feet! Quick steps!

Small steps! Feed her back hand!

Shot!

Good, Rae! Good!

I haven't told Luca yet.

I don't blame you.

But you'll have to
come to the hearing.

Yeah, obviously,
we've got to engage.

The way
to beat Sophie,

jam her up the body
on your serve,

wide in the point, couple
dropshots, keep her guessing.

- Backhand slice...
- To take her strike away.

Exactly right.

In the world we’re living in
right now,

I’ll need more than my word
to defend myself.

Yes, Rae. This is gonna
get you loads of followers

Let's do one more.
You ready? Turn, go.

If you can't disprove
Justine’s allegations,

then that shadow
is gonna be hanging over you.

And if our financiers...

Let's not get ahead of
ourselves here.

OK! That was pretty good!

This isn't about guilt
and innocence, it’s about risk.

And the possibility
that Longwood

put a young player
in a dangerous situation.

So we need watertight
confirmation that we haven’t.

And so will the panel.

I understand.

Dude!

Thought that
was gonna look so sh*t!

Justine!

The police might've
closed down their investigation,

but a witness could
come forward at any time.

So, erm...

...if anything did happen
between you and Justine,

it's absolutely essential
that you tell me everything now.

Nothing ever happened
between myself and Justine.

Good.

That's all I need to know.

Game, first set, Montero.

Time.

Come on, Rae.

Out!

Out!

Love-15.

You lose the power in
your shots when you overthink.

Like what we were
talking about.

Your thinking self,
versus your playing self.

Well, your playing self
is the tennis star.

It's primal.

And it knows exactly what
your body needs to do to win.

Ladies and gentleman,
play is suspended.

You win this match
and you're there.

Why did it have to be Sofia?

She's all over me.
Can't find a way in.

You're so focused
on the final score,

you don’t even know
what’s happening.

- That's not true.
- What nuts did you just eat?

- Stop being stupid.
- You don't know,

you weren't in the moment,
you didn't taste them.

- They're just nuts.
- Every point's just a point

until you win the match.

- Out!
- Yes!

So close.

- Yes!
- 15-love.

Come on, Renee!

f*cking k*lling it.

40-15.

Yes!

Game, set and match, Okoye.

Two sets to one, 2-6, 7-5, 6-4.

Oh my God!

I’m actually going
to my first Grand Slam!

Oh my God!

I think we can make it.

Oh my God!

I’m going to work it,
because I’m the best.

We’re the best! We did it!
I’m a bad b*tch.

- You are a bad b*tch.
- I am a...

I fully thought we were
gonna miss that bus.

Me too.

I was gonna ask you, actually...

They said I could bring someone
to the hearing tomorrow,

and I wondered if maybe
you’d wanna come?

I wasn’t gonna ask you,

until you were through
the third round.

What?

Glenn's the co-director
of Longwood.

Oh sh*t, yeah.

Yeah, no. That's fine.

- It's really fine. It's good.
- No, of course.

- Of course I'll come.
- You sure?

Yeah.

Hey, Luca.
Er, just a quick reminder,

I’ll be off the radar
for a few hours this afternoon.

We have a meet and greet
at the kids’ school.

So I will see you at Queens.

Alright buddy, take care.

All you have to do...

...is tell the truth.

Yeah.

My name is Diane Gough.

I’m a local magistrate,
and the chair of this panel.

Alongside me today
is Dr. Mark Loftus,

and veteran tennis professional,
Tony Kaye.

A safeguarding officer,
Leslie Knee, is also present.

Miss Pearce.

The first time you allege
intercourse occurred

between yourself
and Mr Lapthorn,

what was the date?

February 9th 2018.

In St. Petersburg.

You were 16?

- Yes, correct.
- And the final time?

My birthday, 1st June 2018.

During the French Open?

Yeah, it was the, erm...

The night...

...before my final match.

How many times
did you and Mr Lapthorn

have intercourse
over these months?

Er...

Forty, fifty times.

At the time Justine alleges
these transgressions occurred,

I was many months pregnant
with our second son.

Our firstborn, Alex,
was almost two years old.

Would it be correct to assume
there were minimal opportunities

to observe your husband

and Miss Pearce together
at that time?

Yes, they were
training constantly.

But what I can say,
is that Glenn and I have

always shared a wonderful,
satisfying sex life.

When you first had intercourse,
who initiated it?

He did.

He took my virginity.

Is there anything
you'd like to add

about how that occurred?

Sorry, I don’t really
want to talk about this

in front of everyone.

Justine and I made up
fantasies about Glenn.

What was the nature
of these fantasies?

Sexual.

Usually, erm, casting Glenn
as the dominant sexual partner.

You say you witnessed
Miss Pearce make...

...spontaneous sexual overtures
to Mr Lapthorn.

I did.

- But you never saw Mr Lapthorn
behave in a similar way.

- I did not.
- Miss Pearce told you stories,

cast as fantasies.

If indeed her claims
are accurate,

do you think she would’ve
felt safe or comfortable

telling you the truth?

I can't be sure of that.

No.

Do you have any notes
from Mr Lapthorn?

Any emails or photographs
that could confirm

this alleged
sexual relationship?

He made me
get rid of everything.

And did the police find any
witnesses

who could
corroborate your claims

that you had a sexual
relationship with Mr Lapthorn?

No.

In the timeline of alleged
events that you’ve prepared,

I note three dates
where you allege

sexual relations took place,
when Mr Lapthorn

was either with his family...
or out of the country.

I don't have
my diaries from 2018.

That is indeed unfortunate.

I tried my best.

Miss Pearce...

...you went through a serious
trauma

at the exact time you allege
your sexual relationship

with Mr Lapthorn ended.

Yep, my wrist.

It would be understandable
if you felt

reparations of some kind
were due to you.

Especially in the light of
your ex-coach’s recent success.

Well, yeah.

But the fact is...

...they're not.

All of which
leads me to conclude,

that the accusations you’ve made
against Glenn Lapthorn

are not just baseless,
but completely fabricated.

A revenge mission to bring
unfair defamation upon him,

driven solely by dissatisfaction
and spite.

Mr Lapthorn, in your own time,

can you tell us
your side of the story?

Well, erm...

First...

...I would like to
say how sorry I am...

...that this is all happening.

If I could live
those months again,

I would do things
entirely differently.

Perhaps I would even
have removed myself

from the French Open.

At this stage,
there’s nothing I can say

to disprove anything
that she’s told you here today.

Nothing at all.

But...

...what I do have here...

...is a sequence of emails,

exchanged between
myself and David Tillett,

the former
Head of Longwood Academy,

from February to May 2018,

which could lend
some valuable context.

And David is on-site.

This isn’t how the system works.

The deadline for
the submission of materials...

I am aware,
and I can only apologize.

David was on a retreat
until late last night,

and Longwood wanted to
hold this hearing quickly,

so I did what I could
within the time limits,

but I do feel that that material
is vital...

...to the proper
outcome of this hearing.

Mr Tillett...

...emails between
yourself and Mr Lapthorn

have been presented
at a rather unfortunate stage

in the process.

Yes well,

I was on a diving trip
in Costa Rica,

and I find it much easier
to keep my phone off,

now I’m retired.

These emails chart an open
and seemingly honest discussion

about certain challenges
that presented themselves

in the months of training,

leading up to
the French Open in 2018.

Yes, Glenn told me about
some inappropriate verbal

and physical overtures.

Inappropriate in what way?

Sexual overtures
made by Justine,

starting around this time.

We discussed the option of
replacing Glenn as her coach,

but there were
availability issues.

Of course, it’s an extremely
busy time,

with the French and then
our own grand slam on its heels.

We also talked about
the ramifications

for Justine’s mental stability,
her confidence.

We agreed the best
course of action

was to stay in contact,
guarantee full disclosure,

bring in hitting partners
on a daily basis,

to minimize
one-on-one situations,

and to monitor
the tournament responsibly.

That was my decision,
as the Head of Longwood Academy.

Thank you, Mr Tillett.

That's her career gone.

The panel will
now retire

for a short time to deliberate.

Please stay on
Longwood grounds...

Can't go back in there.

I offered to talk to the police.

Apparently,
my opinion's useless.

But I never trusted Glenn.

- Why?
- He doesn't love the game,

he loves the power.

People like that are dangerous.

What am I gonna do
if they all side with him?

Well, don’t hang on
like this old warhorse.

I am of course the world’s
biggest hypocrite,

but there is life
beyond Longwood.

- We're nearly there?
- Yeah.

This panel finds
insufficient evidence

to bring any disciplinary
measures or sanctions

against Mr Glenn Lapthorn
or Longwood Academy

with regard to the allegations
of inappropriate sexual conduct

made by Miss Pearce.

It's alright.

Sure.

Glenn is a huge part
of Longwood’s future.

And he’s going to be
spending a great deal of time

here at the Academy.

I just wanna be anywhere else.

Of course.

Now, listen.

You have been a valuable
member of our team,

and your history here
is one that we’re proud of.

And I’m sure that
everyone who knows you

will try and forgive you,
in time.

But someone who makes
false claims of this nature

can be seen as a liability.

- Am I being fired?
- No, no. Absolutely not.

But I can open another door
for you here.

I'm in a position...

...to offer you
a redundancy package.

Financial security,

and a chance to restart
somewhere else.

How much?

18 months
at your current salary.

And... a reference.

Justine,
now the panel have ruled,

I think you’ll understand that
we do not want these allegations

to come back.

So we would
ask you to sign an NDA.

Why don't you have
a proper read of the terms,

and send it back
for my attention.

It's the last thing
I wanna do now.

I wish I could take you home.

Luca won't be speaking to me
if I'm late for dinner.

Go.

Give him my best.

See you later.

Oh, hey. Steve.

That couldn't
have been easy in there.

It was a nightmare.

Er, look,
those things that I said...

Hey, none of that matters.

Days on tour can really drag.

We all have mad thoughts.

Just hope she can get
through this in one piece.

Yeah.

Anyway, I'll see you later.

Get in.

Let me find somewhere
we can talk.

I know...

...that once you've got
an idea in your head,

you won't be stopped.

But they destroyed you
in there, Justine.

You forced me to be part of it.

Who the f*ck are you, anyway?

You got old...

...and colorless.

I remember when
you were really someone.

Let me guess,
that was down to you?

Yeah.

We broke each other,
but we made each other.

You see...

...what I think
is happening here,

is you are...

...conflating the memory of me,

with the feeling of
playing your best game,

and you would have done that
with any decent coach.

Where are the cameras, Glenn?
There’s no panel now.

You told me that
what we had was everything.

Yeah, it was really intense.

It was a mad high that
swallowed us up for a while.

No, you swallowed me up.

Because everything
was on the line,

my life was about to change.

Us having sex was the reason

you crashed out of the French?
That's crazy!

I know it was the reason
why we even got so far.

Why did you tell them
nothing happened between us?

What did you want?

For me to tell them
all our secrets?

It would destroy my career,
my family.

What would that give you?

Maybe I'd know
I wasn't f*cking crazy!

What were all
those emails about?

They were keeping us safe!
Both of us safe!

I don't care about being safe!

- I loved you and you told me...
- I know, and I did.

I did, and I meant it.

But we made
our decisions, Justine.

We can't just
go back on them now.

Don't you understand?

You wanted this more than I did,
and then I wanted it.

And after your injury,
you pushed me away!

You let everything
that we built together,

years of work, just collapse.

Evaporate.

You can’t just come back and
kick all this sh*t up for me now

because you’re hurting.
I was hurt. You f*cking hurt me!

I'm sorry.

I really don't want us to think
badly of each other, Justine.

I would like...

...for us to put all this
behind us, for good.

...your thinking self
versus your playing self.

Your playing self
is the tennis star.

It's primal.

And it knows exactly what
your body needs to do to win.

I don't know,
I just keep thinking...

No, no, don't! Don't think!

Stop thinking!
Your brain will undermine you.

It's like, the best
athletes in the world,

they know how to
hand the reins to their talent.

Look, I get it. I...

To let go,

to let the tennis happen
is the hardest thing.

But I'm fearless.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

Isn't that what the press
love about me?

Prove it then.

What are you doing?

Justine, come back
and sit on the bed.

Justine, be careful.

No, no Justine.
What are you doing?

Hello, St. Petersburg!

Hey, hey, hey!

That's it.

on the mountain ♪

♪ I've eaten my share ♪

♪ I can't look down ♪

♪ There's snow in your hair ♪

♪ Your friends have told you ♪

♪ They'll buy up your bones ♪

♪ You just have to ask ♪

♪ To pay what you owe ♪

- Did that go in?
- No.

Your confidence
exercise made me feel like sh*t.

Do we look down on
tadpoles for not being frogs?

You calling me a tadpole?

No.

Speak to your wife like this?

I don't know what's changed.

She never acted
this way before.

I think it could be nerves.

- Didn't look like nerves.
- Hm.

- You need to say something.
- Er, yeah!

Yeah. Look,
I'll nip this in the bud today,

- but if she comes to you...
- Oh, don't worry, don't worry.

- I'm here for her.
- Yeah.

- Thanks, buddy.
- All right.

I'll see you later.

You're still
in the palm of his hand.

He always knew
how to keep you there.

Hi, good to see you.

- Glenn!
- Hello! Good to see you both.

Give me one moment,
I'll be back.

Luca!

Ah, there he is!

- Charming everybody, as usual.
- Yeah.

You didn't need me here
at all.

Which incidentally
is all I heard

from my sons all afternoon.

- Uh-huh. You're here now.
- Woo!

- A hundred percent.
- Good.

You know I don't like
being made a dog's a*s.

Hm?

All these other coaches
sniffing around.

You win the French,
it's gonna happen, buddy.

Yeah.

Was there... a serious approach?

Have a drink, man.

I'm just razzing you.

- You f*ck.
- Hey, how's it going?

Dinner is served.

If you could make your way
through here, please.

Hey, how you doing?

- Ah! Love this!
- Good to see you again.

Hello!

Great to see you all.

- Glenn! Good, thank you.
- How are you?

- Good.
- Sit yourself down here.

- Ah, look! How are you?
- Hey, man!

- Are we sitting together?
- Very good to see you.

- Cheers, cheers.
- How is life?

Really good.
We're just working hard.

- He's fit, he's healthy.
- Luca's doing great.

Yeah, really great.
Really great.

- Congratulations.
- How are things with you?

Mm! Thank you.

Hi! I'm Glenn.

I know who you are.

And what do you do?

I make people
like you look good.

Oh, God!

I thought you meant make-up.

- I'm Mikki.
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!
