“Last
year’s ground-breaking TV drama The Fall was a hugely successful and
gripping thriller unfolding in five
compelling episodes, as a psychotic
serial killer kept one step ahead of his
pursuers, led by a glamorous female
Detective Superintendent who has her
own issues — so now catch up with the
equally-exciting The Fall Series Two...”
TAUNTING THE POLICE as he manages to elude arrest once again, psychotic serial
killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan: Fifty Shades of Grey) is convinced
he is bulletproof. With estranged wife Sally Anne (Bronagh Waugh) giving him
a reluctant alibi, the Police cannot touch him and by the end of The Fall
Series One he is enjoying goading the officer-in-charge, glamorous and amoral
tough cookie DSI Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson: The X Files).
The Fall Series Two begins ten days later, when Spector —
a seemingly-sympathetic counsellor — returns to Belfast to tie up
the loose ends that could lead the Police to him; but he has a dangerous enemy
who is out to get even with him. James Tyler (Brian Milligan), whose wife Liz
(Séainín Brennan) was one of his clients whom he counselled and who subsequently
left her husband, will not rest until he has found out where his estranged wife
now lives.
“Among
the best of
psychological thrillers,
The Fall has echoes
of the rare depth
and quality of Nordic
Noir; a tremendously
tense, compulsive
don’t-miss series...”
Spector's former girlfriend Rose Stagg (Valene Kane) has passed information
about their relationship to the Police and while the killer walks free she is
in the utmost danger. Although one of Spector's victims, Annie Brawley (Karen
Hassan), has survived, she is so traumatised that she cannot recall anything
that could identify her attacker.
The ice-cool Stella seems to have developed a morbid fascination for evil psychopath
Spector. To all intents and purposes he appears to be a good father to his children
Liam (David Beattie) and Olivia (Sarah Beattie), but as Stella seeks answers
from the killer's past and he plays psychological mind games with the task force,
he encourages the attentions of his children's former babysitter, teenager Kate
Benedetto (Aisling Franciosi), who has long held an unhealthily obsession for
him and believes that he is in love with her.
Stella has a racy past that includes an affair with the Assistant Chief Constable
of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, Jim Burns (John Lynch), who is responsible
for bringing her over to Belfast from London's Metropolitan Police to work alongside
him. He is still attracted to her but she rejects him and instead seduces young
DS Tom Anderson (Colin Morgan), whom she uses to interview Kate in the belief
that his resemblance to Spector may persuade her to help the Police with their
enquiries.
Following up on leads, Jim interviews the obstructive defrocked and imprisoned
paedophile priest Father Jensen (Sean McGinley), who ran the orphanage where
Spector — then known as Peter Baldwin — had spent his
childhood before being adopted by the Spectors.
Colleagues fall under Stella's spell, but Spector may have an edge as she has
discovered, to her horror, that he has broken into her hotel room and has read
her private journal containing her innermost secrets that go back to childhood
and her difficult relationship with her father.
Nevertheless Spector becomes careless. When Rose Stagg disappears, Stella believes
that her life is at risk. The task force have failed to put the killer behind
bars and, as the investigation gathers pace, time is running out along with
the hope of preventing further murders and there may be terrifying consequences.
Will Spector get the better of Stella yet again or is he heading for a fall?
In an old abandoned house reluctant to give up its ghosts, Stella uses her keen
senses; an almost psychic intuition in her determination to nail Spector and
find the missing Rose. Preferably alive…
Among the best of psychological thrillers, The Fall has echoes of the
rare depth and quality of Nordic Noir; a tremendously tense, compulsive don't-miss
series. The five episodes of the first series was BBC2's most watched drama
in 2013 and attracted more than four million viewers. This complex cat-and-mouse
thriller will have you hooked from the start as the tough, but sometimes emotional,
Stella Gibson pits her wits against evil psychopath Paul Spector. Contains some
violence and sexual content.
