I liked the beginning of the story. It could have been about an angry father who wanted revenge, though killing an entire busload of players seemed a bit psychotic. Funny thing is that the train is never seen after the accident, which does not make sense. Just tracking down the evil Dad would have been fun, if the football angle had been taken in a positive direction.
Unfortunately, they toss in the murder on the bus of the coach. Even then, it could have focused on the angry Spaniard player, and it could have been a fun episode with a positive spin on football / soccer. But there it goes off the rails.
Half the show is tracking down a teenage girl who is presumed abducted but just ran away to visit her grandmother. There the sordid tale unravels, and it becomes another sick saga of a bizarre and unlikely set of murders and allegations of pedophilia and incest. There is a sleazy reporter pumping her friends for secret information, and the players and coaches fighting among themselves.
I would have liked this episode a lot more if it had been straight-forward police work instead of convoluted social services.
