00:00:01Three seconds left on the clock.
00:00:05Boo! Booing!
00:00:22Touchdown, Tucker Newsome.
00:00:26Goddammit!
00:00:28Goddammit!
00:00:30This is your fault! Your jeeks!
00:00:33Walking curse, I should have known when your mother left.
00:00:36Bad luck's in your bones!
00:00:39What do you mean, my fault?
00:00:44That did you have the game?
00:00:46That touchdown just cost me my last hundred K!
00:00:50Your last hundred K?
00:00:53That was my life savings for my future, for-
00:00:56What?
00:00:58I was saving up so I could do my internship with the Sentinels.
00:01:02It's my first day today.
00:01:07The Sentinels?
00:01:09Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:01:11Leon the Hitman Rivers?
00:01:16The linebacker paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:01:22And who was banned for life.
00:01:25I'm using a different last name.
00:01:27You think a fake last name's gonna fool anyone?
00:01:39You're Rivers.
00:01:41You're my flesh and blood.
00:01:45Pizza's cold.
00:01:46I'm gonna-
00:01:51No.
00:01:53I am nothing like you.
00:01:55And I never will be.
00:01:57It's not like anyone's gonna miss you.
00:01:59You're a worthless loser.
00:02:01It doesn't seem like it all.
00:02:03Get the hell out of my house!
00:02:05Don't bother coming back your grateful little bitch!
00:02:14If the Sentinels ever find out who I really am, I'll be blacklisted forever.
00:02:20I have to hide my identity.
00:02:22At any cost.
00:02:23To the haters!
00:02:29To the haters!
00:02:36You'll lose some!
00:02:40You suck!
00:02:49Oh!
00:02:53You suck!
00:02:58He's a mess.
00:03:00But messes make headlines.
00:03:02And headlines fill stadiums.
00:03:06We bring him in.
00:03:07Rehab his image.
00:03:09Make him look good.
00:03:11Make me look good.
00:03:13This isn't the first time that he's gotten into trouble like this.
00:03:18He's got anger management issues.
00:03:20And heat.
00:03:22The right story turns him from chaos into a comeback.
00:03:27More like a liability.
00:03:29Well that's what the morality clause is for.
00:03:32And the accountability partner.
00:03:33Damn.
00:03:47You tackle harder than half the league.
00:03:50Tucker, you sir?
00:03:52Let me guess.
00:03:55You're a fan.
00:03:57You do trend every week.
00:03:58But not for football.
00:04:00Bar fights, suspensions, an Instagram feed that reaches a $5 at all.
00:04:06Sponsor seems radioactive.
00:04:09So I'm guessing that's a hard no.
00:04:11Yeah, I'll graph that out.
00:04:13But if we pivot now.
00:04:15Lean into redemption, vulnerability, carefully curing a comeback.
00:04:20You're not just back in the league.
00:04:22You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:25Samir Ri...
00:04:28Richards.
00:04:30PR intern.
00:04:31Well shit.
00:04:32Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:36Welcome to the team.
00:04:38Intern.
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:55Did she just call me?
00:04:57Radioactive
00:04:58Well, well, you must be the charity hire.
00:05:11I'm a singer.
00:05:12Uh-huh.
00:05:13I know who you are.
00:05:16I told HR I needed a superstar, not a sentient STD with a LinkedIn profile.
00:05:28Mop it up.
00:05:35Better yet, lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you needed.
00:05:44Also, those shoes?
00:05:47Trash it.
00:05:49Bye, Tara.
00:05:53No, no, no.
00:05:54Wait!
00:05:58We are real to have Tucker here.
00:06:07With the right support system, we believe he can help us win a championship.
00:06:13Which is why we've selected an accountability partner for him to keep him focused on football.
00:06:22Me.
00:06:23Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:36Uh-uh, please don't mind her.
00:06:40She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:46So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted-
00:06:51I want her.
00:06:56You mean the intern?
00:07:02Excuse me?
00:07:03What do you say, partner?
00:07:05Hey, intern?
00:07:15Slow down.
00:07:16You can't just point at someone and make them your babysitter.
00:07:22I always had a thing for my babysitters.
00:07:25Why me?
00:07:26I don't know.
00:07:27There was just something about you when we met before.
00:07:30So you thought I looked pathetic and felt sorry for me?
00:07:35Great.
00:07:36Nope.
00:07:37I thought you looked like someone who doesn't put up with bullshit.
00:07:41And I come with a lot of it.
00:07:43So what exactly do you expect me to do?
00:07:46Keep me out of the headlines.
00:07:47Unless the good ones.
00:07:48Let me stop you right there.
00:07:49I'm not your nanny.
00:07:50Or your emotional support human.
00:07:51Or your PR fairy godmother.
00:07:52I am a strategist.
00:07:53That means you don't speak, drink, post, or flirt sideways without my approval.
00:08:07Got it?
00:08:08You scare me a little.
00:08:16I kinda like it.
00:08:22My job isn't to follow you around with duct tape and a fire extinguisher.
00:08:27That actually sounds pretty fun.
00:08:29I am serious.
00:08:31So am I.
00:08:32We want the same thing.
00:08:34You keep me clean, you look like a PR genius.
00:08:37Win-win.
00:08:41And if you don't?
00:08:43We both go down.
00:08:58Hello?
00:09:00I saw you on the TV.
00:09:02New job, new clothes, new name.
00:09:06And suddenly you act like we're done.
00:09:09You don't get to erase me.
00:09:11We're not finished, Samira.
00:09:14Not even close.
00:09:17Close.
00:09:22Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:27You think you're special because he picked you?
00:09:32You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:35Office clutter and oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:38You do not belong here.
00:09:41I didn't ask for this.
00:09:42Oh, honey.
00:09:43I see what you're up to.
00:09:48But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:51Bombshells and boss bitches.
00:09:54And you are neither.
00:09:56Well, maybe he's tired of that type.
00:09:59Trust me.
00:10:01He's not.
00:10:02You are just the latest rehab prop in his redemption arc.
00:10:07And you'll be gone the minute his jersey sales spike like a bad case of herpes.
00:10:11Oh my god.
00:10:14So enjoy your little Cinderella moment.
00:10:17Because when midnight strikes, I'll be the one still holding his balls.
00:10:24And you, you'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for day-old Taco Bell.
00:10:31You finished?
00:10:32Oh, I am just getting started.
00:10:36Hey, intern.
00:10:40I almost forgot.
00:10:42Tucky-poo.
00:10:43Hi.
00:10:45We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:51There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:54Thought you could keep me accountable.
00:10:56Thought you could wear this.
00:11:05I'm not an escort.
00:11:07I know.
00:11:08More like a shackle.
00:11:10And I need to be at my best day of care.
00:11:12She doesn't even own evening wear.
00:11:14You'll embarrass yourself.
00:11:16Not in that she won't.
00:11:26You're gonna stand there all night?
00:11:47well damn intern remind me to pick out all your outfits from home

00:18:15And your dignity.
00:18:17Please, practically sell my credit score.
00:18:23Uh, how long?
00:18:26It's just, uh, I think I'm getting dead in my house.
00:18:36Yeah.

00:18:39What?
00:18:40You moving in.
00:18:42With me.
00:18:42Tucker, no, that's not it.
00:18:4524-7 means 24-7.
00:18:47You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:18:52It's more like a haunted boiler room.
00:18:56I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:18:59It's not pity.
00:19:01It's just practical.
00:19:03You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in a tea mock room.
00:19:06I don't know.
00:19:18Wow.
00:19:21Your room is down the hall.
00:19:23First door on the left.
00:19:24Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in the fridge labeled TN.
00:19:28That means it's mine.
00:19:30Thanks. I can spell.
00:19:33Then we're gonna get along great, roommate.
00:19:58Oh, Jesus. Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:06It's my house. You're the one sneaking around like it.
00:20:10Oh, I couldn't.
00:20:12I wasn't sneaking. I was...
00:20:16...hydrating.
00:20:24You could really use some better snacks.
00:20:27Take the cabinets.
00:20:29I wasn't staring, by the way.
00:20:32I never said you were.
00:20:34Good. Because I wasn't.
00:20:45Still not staring?
00:20:47Uh, you're...weaking.
00:20:51Sweat, you're, uh, it's...distracting.
00:20:55I'll try to be less distracting.
00:21:03Look, if we're gonna live together, we should probably set some ground rules.
00:21:09Was I a bad boy?
00:21:11Rule one.
00:21:14Shirts.
00:21:18I feel targeted.
00:21:20Rule two.
00:21:22No flirting.
00:21:24Okay.
00:21:25So, shirts are mandatory.
00:21:29And no flirting.
00:21:31Anything else?
00:21:32I need this job.
00:21:33I don't have a backup plan or a trust fund or a safety net.
00:21:39So, this thing, whatever it is, if it starts getting in the way of the work, I walk.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:53I mean it, Tar.

00:29:40Great. Now I have to sleep in the same room as his house.
00:29:47I could get used to waking up like this.
00:29:52But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:29:53Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:29:55Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:29:56Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:00I could get used to waking up like this.
00:30:01But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:02Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:30:03Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:07I could get used to waking up like this.
00:30:14I could get used to waking up like this.
00:30:16But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:18Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:30:20Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:22So, that was a fun sleepover.
00:30:35You slept.
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:37Can't happen again.
00:30:52There's a breakfast buffet.
00:30:56Heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:30:59You'd eat drywall if it had enough protein in it.
00:31:02Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid profile.
00:31:09Samira.
00:31:10Didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:31:14Eli, what are you doing here?
00:31:17Who are you?
00:31:19I'm her ex.
00:31:22Oh no.
00:31:27If Eli reveals who my dad is.
00:31:31That's it.
00:31:32Game over.
00:31:33Eli, I didn't know you were covering this game.
00:31:37Yeah, I got bumped up from the podcast to on camera this week.
00:31:41I guess I finally impressed someone.
00:31:43What are you doing here?
00:31:45I've been training for the Sentinels.
00:31:48Working with Tucker.
00:31:49What?
00:31:52You got a problem with that?
00:31:54No.
00:31:55Not at all.
00:31:56I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:32:01Wow.
00:32:02And they let you be on camera with that personality.
00:32:04Coming from a guy whose entire personality is catches balls.
00:32:07Okay boys, I think that is enough testosterone for one of them, eh?
00:32:19We should get something.
00:32:21You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even mentioned the building with your last name.
00:32:25Hmm.
00:32:39Your ex.
00:32:40Always like that?
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43He's a huge asshole.
00:32:46And what did he mean?
00:32:47About your last name?
00:32:48Team Bus departs in 15!
00:32:56We've got a game in a few hours.
00:33:02You need to stay focused.
00:33:03No distractions.
00:33:05There you go again.
00:33:06Always trying to control the story.
00:33:08That is literally my job.
00:33:09Club's already hopping.
00:33:28Going out?
00:33:32Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:36Nothing crazy.
00:33:38Hmm.
00:33:42You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:33:45I don't think so.
00:33:46I'm coming.
00:33:49You want to keep an eye on me, or you just don't want to miss out on some fun?
00:33:58I'm not here to have fun.
00:34:03We'll see about that, intern.
00:34:05Intern.
00:34:23I tried not to get recognized every five feet.
00:34:26No promises.
00:34:28Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:30Bravely.
00:34:32Do you dance, or would that be too much fun?
00:34:35Depends.
00:34:37Are you going to try something stupid?
00:34:39Almost definitely.
00:34:40Don't.
00:34:42I don't think so.
00:34:44I won't.
00:34:47Dirty.
00:34:48You have a good.
00:34:52Dirty.
00:34:56Dirty.
00:34:58Dirty.
00:34:59Give me two seconds.
00:35:01Jill, be right back.
00:35:08You with the tight end?
00:35:11I'm good, thanks.
00:35:13That's not what I asked you.
00:35:15I said I'm good.
00:35:17Hey, come on.
00:35:19Don't be like that.
00:35:20I'd like to see your tight end.
00:35:29What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:35:43Hitting a woman, not cool.
00:35:46What the hell?
00:35:47I'm gonna have to call unnecessary roughness on that fight.
00:35:50Apologize to her.
00:35:51Screw you!
00:35:53One, two.
00:36:00You okay?
00:36:02Hey!
00:36:03Hands where I can see them!
00:36:06Yeah.
00:36:07And that is what you call a self.
00:36:11You got it, McKinney.
00:36:12It was self-defense.
00:36:14Now!
00:36:21Wait.
00:36:22Don't I know you?
00:36:24You bailed your old man out of this slammer.
00:36:26Like partner, like daughter.
00:36:27Samira?
00:36:28What is he talking about?
00:36:29Samira?
00:36:30What is he talking about?
00:36:47The linebacker who paralyzed there.
00:36:50We have a VP with a dirty head.
00:36:52Like father, like daughter.
00:36:55My dad had a bit of a temper.
00:36:57He had a road rage incident.
00:36:59Some guy cut him off and he completely lost it.
00:37:04We've all been there.
00:37:06Usually I at least make it to the second date before I end up in jail.
00:37:10This is not a date.
00:37:12It would be a pretty good story to tell the kids to have their lives.
00:37:15The video gets out of this.
00:37:20I'm finished.
00:37:22I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:37:25It'll come out somewhere.
00:37:27Good.
00:37:28People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:37:32Do you think I'm the last cause?
00:37:35No.
00:37:36I think you're used to people treating you like one.
00:37:40So you act like you are.
00:37:51Sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:37:55You did it.
00:37:57I walked right in.
00:37:59Eyes wide open.
00:38:00You made battle.
00:38:10Wow.
00:38:12Look at you two.
00:38:14Just like prom night.
00:38:17Not that you'd know.
00:38:19Jules, how did you-
00:38:21You're welcome, by the way.
00:38:23You'll be out of here in a minute.
00:38:25You, on the other hand, can enjoy your complimentary night in the slammer.
00:38:31What?
00:38:34You're not even under contract with the team.
00:38:37I mean, you're an intern.
00:38:39Now, you're a liability.
00:38:41HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:45Spoiler alert.
00:38:46You're fired.
00:38:48She was defending this.
00:38:49And you were defending her.
00:38:51Blah, blah, blah.
00:38:53She's not staying here.
00:38:55Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so...
00:38:58Okay.
00:38:59Then I stay, too.
00:39:01They excuse me?
00:39:03If she goes down for this, so do I.
00:39:06You're really willing to blow up your career, your entire future, for her?
00:39:11You're damn right I would.
00:39:13Either both of us walk out of here, or neither of us do.
00:39:23Fine.
00:39:24Have it your way.
00:39:27But just remember, what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:32Yes.
00:39:46Oh.
00:39:48Well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:39:51I still feel like I smoked up my most bad decisions.
00:39:57That jail cell.
00:39:59That was worse than the team locker room after two-a-days in the dead of August.
00:40:07When we get home, I need a shower.
00:40:10Like, an exorcism-level shower.
00:40:12Just don't use all the hot water, please.
00:40:35I can go. Go.
00:40:36You know there's eight bathrooms in the house, right?
00:40:42Yeah.
00:40:44But this one's the one's.
00:40:46How do you know?
00:41:06How do you know?
00:41:07We're gonna get to see you.
00:41:08지는.
00:41:09Oh my God.
00:41:11Jesus.
00:41:13What is-?
00:41:14Just turn it into a cold plunge.
00:41:16A fancy mansion has a broken-water heater?
00:41:20Oh my God.
00:41:21Jesus.
00:41:23What is-?
00:41:25Why did it?
00:41:26Just turn it into a cold plunge?
00:41:28You fancy mansion has a broken water heater?
00:41:31Oh, that looks good.
00:41:34Let's get it.
00:41:54It's Gus Marwood, the owner of the team.
00:41:58Why are you whispering?
00:41:59Gus, what a pleasant surprise.
00:42:05Tucker, listen, hey, I know it's last minute, but I called in a favor and I got you booked
00:42:11on the number one football podcast.
00:42:14It'll be great for you to reintroduce yourself to your fans, the new and improved Tucker
00:42:19Newsome.
00:42:20A podcast?
00:42:24Yeah, sure, let's do it.
00:42:27Great.
00:42:28Look, it's also streaming live on YouTube.
00:42:302 p.m. Soundworks downtown.
00:42:32Make me proud.
00:42:33Don't let me down.
00:42:35Mr. Hearsome.
00:42:37They're ready for you in Studio B. Please follow me.
00:42:42Just stick to the talking points.
00:42:44Don't give the internet a reason to cancel you.
00:42:46It's gonna be 45 minutes of softballs.
00:42:47I got this.
00:42:48I got this.
00:42:49I'm her ex.
00:42:50And here he is.
00:42:51Right on time.
00:42:52And here he is.
00:42:53Right on time.
00:42:54And here he is.
00:42:55Right on time.
00:42:56And here he is.
00:42:57Right on time.
00:42:58And here he is.
00:42:59Right on time.
00:43:00And here he is.
00:43:01Right on time.
00:43:02I got this.
00:43:03I got this.
00:43:04I got this.
00:43:05I got this.
00:43:07I'm her ex.
00:43:09And here he is.
00:43:17And here he is.
00:43:18And here he is.
00:43:19Right on time.
00:43:21All right, folks.
00:43:22We're live here.
00:43:23Tucker Newsome.
00:43:24Two-time Pro Bowler and brand new Seattle Sentinel.
00:43:40Thanks for joining us.
00:43:44Wouldn't miss it, man.
00:43:45Big fan of the pod.
00:43:49Let's get right into it.
00:43:50You've had an interest in a couple of years.
00:43:53How would you describe this chapter of your career?
00:43:56Focused.
00:43:57Humble.
00:43:58Hungry.
00:43:59Hm.
00:44:00That's new.
00:44:02A lot of fans are surprised that the Sentinels are taking a chance on you.
00:44:05Some even saying it's a PR stunt.
00:44:07What do you think about that?
00:44:08It's fair?
00:44:09People can say what they want.
00:44:11I'm here to win games.
00:44:15The winning's never been your problem, has it?
00:44:19It's everything that happens off the field.
00:44:22Let's talk about the suspensions.
00:44:25Block lights and the blinds.
00:44:28I mean, one of the most talented tight ends in the league.
00:44:32Also the most volatile.
00:44:33People like to call you the league's favorite cautionary town.
00:44:37I've made mistakes.
00:44:38I've owned them.
00:44:40And I'm doing the work to be better.
00:44:43Hmm.
00:44:44Last week at the Vegas nightclub.
00:44:49Was that part of the work?
00:44:56Was that another example of your temper getting better?
00:44:59Then I was here to talk about football.
00:45:01Can we take five?
00:45:08Tucker, stop.
00:45:22Tucker, wait.
00:45:24Stop.
00:45:25This is a trap.
00:45:26He's not interviewing me.
00:45:27He's trying to humiliate me.
00:45:28I know.
00:45:29But that is exactly why you cannot lose it in there.
00:45:30You heard what you said.
00:45:31I did.
00:45:32But if you're fired back, she wins.
00:45:33If you keep your cool, you walk out of here the guy people root for again.
00:45:35Give me your phone.
00:45:36What?
00:45:37Trust me.
00:45:3850.
00:45:39I'll sit behind the glass and I'll talk you through it.
00:45:41You're good.
00:45:42You're good.
00:45:43You're good.
00:45:44All right.
00:45:45I'm so sorry.
00:45:46I'm sorry.
00:45:47I'm so sorry.
00:45:48I didn't.
00:45:49But if you're fired back, she wins.
00:45:51If you keep your cool, you walk out of here the guy people root for again.
00:45:53Give me your phone.
00:45:54No, no.
00:45:55Trust me.
00:46:0050.
00:46:01I'll sit behind the glass and I'll talk you through it.
00:46:07You don't have to go through this alone.
00:46:11Let me help.
00:46:26All right, we are back. Tucker and Lucy. Where were we?
00:46:30Please.
00:46:33First question, deflect. Then redirect.
00:46:37You asked about Vegas. Yes, there was an incident.
00:46:41And I would do the exact same thing again if someone laid a hand on a woman in front of me.
00:46:47So, no regrets.
00:46:50No people. Gratitude. This is your growth arc. Give them the headline you want.
00:46:56I've made mistakes, but I'm learning.
00:46:59I have people in my life now who push me to be better.
00:47:02Not just as a player, but as a man.
00:47:09He's rattled. Yes.
00:47:12You can keep judging. I'm just going to keep moving forward.
00:47:16You were incredible in there.
00:47:33You were incredible.
00:47:35We made a pretty good team, didn't we?
00:47:37I could get you set up.
00:47:39What?
00:47:41You.
00:47:43Telling me what to do.
00:47:44All my life I was looking for a sign.
00:48:05Wasn't sure where to find a peace of mind.
00:48:08Oh.
00:48:17Star, Diane's sleeping with the intern? Now that's a scandal.
00:48:22Pepper, don't!
00:48:24I should knock your teeth out!
00:48:26Try me, Issam. You lay a hand on me.
00:48:28And this isn't just a Frankreich story. This is a lawsuit too.
00:48:33If you want a story, I'll give you one.
00:48:36Okay, I'm listening.
00:48:40Get the hell out of my house!
00:48:42And don't bother coming back you ungrateful little bitch!
00:48:46Leon Rivers.
00:48:48Disgrace NFA Championship MVP.
00:48:51Ban for life for nearly killing a player on the field.
00:48:54Well, I know where he's been hiding.
00:48:57And he is in a new kind of trouble.
00:48:59Indeed, with the betting syndicate.
00:49:01Big names, big debt.
00:49:05That's quite the scoop.
00:49:06Delete the photos, and you have yourself an exclusive.
00:49:11Deal. No pictures here.
00:49:22What the hell was that?
00:49:24You're with me saving your career.
00:49:26No, that was you knowing way too much about Leon Rivers.
00:49:29How?
00:49:31I wrote my senior thesis on him.
00:49:37PR major, crisis comms.
00:49:39This case is textbook, fame, violence, media spin, total brain meltdown.
00:49:44Right now, every of me detail.
00:49:48Well, you saved my ass.
00:49:51Again, we need to be more careful.
00:49:55You're right.
00:49:57You were just my accountability partner.
00:49:58That's it.
00:49:59No more late night, heart to hearts.
00:50:01No more mixed signals.
00:50:03We are just two people who are forced to be on the same team.
00:50:06Understood.
00:50:08I'm late for practice.
00:50:10You can take Anubra back to the office.
00:50:19Hello?
00:50:21So, my own daughter sold me out.
00:50:23You're going to be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
00:50:24You're going to be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
00:50:28You've got a charity event tonight.
00:50:437pm, downtown, breast cancer awareness.
00:50:47Media will be there.
00:50:48Of course they will be.
00:50:50Which means I'll be there too.
00:50:52To manage optics.
00:50:54Nothing more.
00:50:56Fine.
00:50:58Good.
00:50:59Great.
00:51:01Smile.
00:51:02Let's try to avoid any controversy tonight.
00:51:04Well, well, well.
00:51:06Look who it is.
00:51:08Our golden boy.
00:51:10You came up nice.
00:51:12I'm committed to turning the page, boss.
00:51:15Let's see how long that lasts.
00:51:17He's actually been nothing but a professional.
00:51:18A model representative of the team.
00:51:20So far.
00:51:22We all know it's only a matter of time.
00:51:25Before he screws up again.
00:51:27Enjoy the evening.
00:51:39I don't believe that.
00:51:41You know what they say.
00:51:43The zebra can't change its stripes.
00:51:46I don't believe that.
00:51:49Well you know what they say.
00:51:50Yeah, well you know what they say. Zebra can't change its stripes.
00:51:56Well look who it is. Long time no see.
00:52:03Long time no see.
00:52:05I didn't realize you were covering this.
00:52:07Oh yeah, last minute Simon. Charity sentiment overpriced champagne.
00:52:11Those people love the redemption arc.
00:52:13I've been watching the numbers on the podcast interview higher than any other episode we've done this season.
00:52:18No, you mean despite your best efforts to bathe me into blowing it.
00:52:22That's fair. That's fair. I might have been a little aggressive.
00:52:26I tried to get you to crack, but you didn't.
00:52:28This is not the story you want me to.
00:52:30It's becoming clear.
00:52:32Whatever you're doing to rehab his image, it's working.
00:52:36What's your angle?
00:52:37Believe it or not, I know what I've lost.
00:52:40I expected you to be a train wreck and your head is planted right at the station.
00:52:44Ladies and gentlemen.
00:52:48Thank you for joining us tonight in support of breast cancer research.
00:52:53The auction begins shortly.
00:52:55And for the first time ever, we're doing something a little different.
00:52:59Tonight's auction won't feature art or wine or vacation homes.
00:53:03Because tonight we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:11Because tonight we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:15That's right, folks. Tonight's prize isn't a vintage bottle of Chateau Margaux.
00:53:30It's a dinner date with the city's finest.
00:53:33And by fine, we mean really fine.
00:53:36First up, you know him, you love him.
00:53:39He has more touchdowns than the rest this month.
00:53:42Please welcome number 88, Tucker Newsome.
00:53:51Welcome, Tucker.
00:53:52Looking very handsome.
00:53:57Tell us, what makes you the ideal date for one lucky bidder tonight?
00:54:01I'm Bong Choo, and I don't check my phone at dinner.
00:54:04Unless it sees me now.
00:54:10A man who's present. We love it.
00:54:12Okay, lightning round. Dine in or take out?
00:54:16Cooking for two.
00:54:17I tried.
00:54:18Tattooed or no?
00:54:20Okay. All earned.
00:54:22Boxers or briefs.
00:54:23I guess.
00:54:24I have to win the auction to find out.
00:54:25And one last thing before the bidding begins.
00:54:38Ladies, you didn't think we'd let him off the stage without making him work a little harder for it, did you?
00:54:43It is for charity, after all. Hit it!
00:54:47Aw, you ready?
00:55:06Woo!
00:55:07Woo!
00:55:14Six, six, six, six-six, six!
00:55:16Are you bitter?
00:55:24Does everyone know why you'd be cost a bit of time until they get you?
00:55:30And it's just another reason that you won't be with me
00:55:34Anything you take, yeah, you take
00:55:37It's gonna break
00:55:40Okay, ladies
00:56:09the bidding begins at $1,000.
00:56:12Do I hear one?
00:56:14Yep.
00:56:161,000. Do I hear one five?

00:56:21One five.
00:56:222,000?
00:56:23Me!
00:56:252,000.
00:56:262,500. Do I hear three?
00:56:32Okay.
00:56:34I'm fine.
00:56:36Do I hear five?
00:56:38Right here.
00:56:405,000.
00:56:41Going once.
00:56:42Going twice.
00:56:4310,000.
00:56:51Well, well.
00:56:53$10,000 from Miss Jules Lancaster.
00:56:59Do I hear 11?
00:57:0110,000 going once.
00:57:03Going twice.
00:57:05Sold.
00:57:08Better cancel your plans, Tucky.
00:57:11You're mine tonight.
00:57:13You look like you could use some company.
00:57:28Thanks.
00:57:30I guess watching your fake boyfriend get auctioned off to your real enemy wasn't exactly the
00:57:36plan tonight.
00:57:37He's not my fake anything.
00:57:39We worked together.
00:57:41That's it.
00:57:42Sorry.
00:57:43That was a bad joke.
00:57:44I was just trying to lighten the mood.
00:57:47He didn't even look back.
00:57:48He didn't even look back.
00:57:49Maybe he did.
00:57:50Maybe he just missed it.
00:57:51He walked right past me.
00:57:54Right out the door together.
00:57:56You know, if you want to talk or drink and forget about tonight, I'm still a pretty good
00:58:03listener.
00:58:04You sure you're not just trying to get the next exclusive on Tucker?
00:58:08Not tonight.
00:58:09Just one drink.
00:58:10Just one.
00:58:11To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:23Best two.
00:58:50Bye.
00:58:52What?
00:58:54I hit fast.
00:58:56You okay?
00:58:58I just...
00:59:00I think I need to lay down.
00:59:02Alright, come on. There's a quiet room just off to the lobby.
00:59:04I'll take you there.
00:59:14Something's...
00:59:16Something's wrong.
00:59:22What are you doing?
00:59:26I miss you, Sammy.
00:59:28We were so good together.
00:59:30Stop!
00:59:32It can be like when we first met.
00:59:34We couldn't keep our hands off each other.
00:59:36No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:40Get your hands off!
00:59:42What the hell? We're in the middle of something.
00:59:44Debra?

01:00:00No.
01:00:02No.
01:00:04No.
01:00:06No.
01:00:20What...
01:00:22What happened?
01:00:24You were drugged.
01:00:25Eli.
01:00:26What about your date with Jules?
01:00:28How did you...
01:00:29Didn't happen.
01:00:30Took her home, dropped her off.
01:00:32I was just trying to make you jealous.
01:00:34Childish move.
01:00:38But the truth is...
01:00:40There was only one person I was up on that stage stripping for.
01:00:46You came back for me.
01:00:48Always.
01:01:02Bye.

01:01:42If he cares about you,

01:09:05thank you all for coming
01:09:10the sentinels organization takes its code of conduct very seriously
01:09:18after reviewing the footage and the timeline of the events
01:09:22we've reached a decision regarding Mr. Newsome's future with the team
01:09:26effective immediately
01:09:40if you're gonna drag someone through the mud
01:09:42make sure it's the right person
01:09:43Ms. Richards, this isn't
01:09:46it's Ms. Rivers, actually
01:09:47Leon Rivers is my father
01:09:50and the truth is that video
01:09:56it wasn't Tucker's mistake
01:09:59it was mine
01:10:02I was the one who crossed the line
01:10:05I pursued him and I lied about who I was
01:10:08I let things get personal
01:10:10and I compromised my role with this organization
01:10:12I tried to keep things professional
01:10:17I didn't
01:10:19so if anyone should face the consequences for what happened
01:10:23it's me
01:10:27Samira, please, you don't have to do that

01:10:43we all say we want players who are good men
01:10:48who protect women who stand up when it counts
01:10:51and that is exactly what Tucker Newsome did
01:10:54and I won't let that get buried under spin and scandal
01:10:59Samira, please
01:11:02you were always worth the risk
01:11:05so

01:19:56Samira.
01:19:58You've been promoted to head of team PR.
01:20:02You burned.
01:20:04I don't know what to say.
01:20:06Just say you'll show up Monday with a smile on your face.
01:20:10Of course.
01:20:11I will.
01:20:14This is a mistake!
01:20:22You know...
01:20:24I was thinking...
01:20:27Maybe you could be my permanent accountability partner.
01:20:30We love you.
