00:00:01Three seconds left on the clock.
00:00:05Boo!
00:00:22Touchdown, Tucker Newsome.
00:00:28Damn it!
00:00:30This is your fault! You're a jeep's walking curse.
00:00:34I should have known when your mother left.
00:00:37Bad luck's in your bones!
00:00:39What do you mean, my fault?
00:00:44Dad, did you pass 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!
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?!
00:01:10Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:01:12Leon the Hitman Rivers?
00:01:16The linebacker paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:01:22And who is banned for life.
00:01:25I'm using a different last name.
00:01:27You think a fake last name's gonna fool you anymore?
00:01:39You're my reverse.
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.
00:02:01I didn't feel like it all.
00:02:03Get the hell out of my house!
00:02:05Don't bother for the back, you grateful little bitch!
00:02:14If the Sentinels ever find out who I really am,
00:02:18I'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.
00:03:21And 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.
00:03:46Damn.
00:03:48You tackle harder than half the league.
00:03:50Tucker, are you sir?
00:03:53Let me guess.
00:03:55You're a fan.
00:03:57She do trend every week.
00:03:58But not for football.
00:04:00Bar fights.
00:04:01Suspensions.
00:04:02An Instagram feed that reaches 55 at all.
00:04:06Sponsor seeds.
00:04:08Radioactive.
00:04:09So I'm guessing that's a hard no on the autograph then.
00:04:13But if we pivot now.
00:04:15Lean into redemption.
00:04:17Vulnerability.
00:04:18Carefully curing a comeback.
00:04:20You're not just back in the league.
00:04:22You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:24Samir.
00:04:26Samir.
00:04:28Richards.
00:04:30PR intern.
00:04:32Well shit.
00:04:33Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:36Welcome to the team.
00:04:38Intern.
00:04:39In the third year.
00:04:40Who wants to answer the following a series?
00:04:41We just need to see some of the features.
00:04:42Like you know, you're looking for a reflection.
00:04:43You're not really sure.
00:04:44What do I say?
00:04:45In the third year, we're listening to the service.
00:04:46This is a great video for the team.
00:04:47This is a great video.
00:04:48And one of the deposits of the team.
00:04:49The team is one of the best, the team goes to the team.
00:04:50The team is.
00:04:51If it's theable, it's the best.
00:04:52The team is an alpha, the team is the best.
00:04:53The team is to nS.
00:04:54And she just called me Radio Acton.
00:05:07Well, well.
00:05:09You must be the charity hire.
00:05:11I'm Smear.
00:05:12I know who you are.
00:05:16I told HR I needed a superstar, not a sentient STD with a LinkedIn profile.
00:05:24Mop it up.
00:05:35Better yet, lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you have.
00:05:45Also, those shoes, trash it.
00:05:48No, no, no.
00:05:50Wait!
00:05:51We are blue.
00:05:52Good to have Tucker here.
00:05:54With the right support system, we believe he can help us win a championship.
00:05:59Which is why we've selected an accountability partner for him to keep him focused on football.
00:06:08Me.
00:06:09Me.
00:06:10Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:11Uh, please.
00:06:12Don't mind her.
00:06:13Don't mind her.
00:06:14She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:15Okay.
00:06:16I'm late.
00:06:17Uh, please don't mind her.
00:06:18She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:19Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:06:22So, as I was saying before I started off the stage.
00:06:25I'm just wondering who you are going down on both sides of the stage, but we're working
00:06:29on it.
00:06:30How are you going down on both sides of the stage?
00:06:32How are you going down on both sides of the stage?
00:06:33And that's why you're going down on both sides of the stage.
00:06:35There's no cheese story.
00:06:36I didn't understand.
00:06:37I'm not going down on both sides of the stage now.
00:06:38If my butt was going through a second side.
00:06:39I'm not going down the next side before, I'm going down on both sides of the stage.
00:06:41I'm going down the next side.
00:06:42So, don't mind her, but I really need to do everything for….

00:18:42With me.
00:18:43It's awkward, no, that's not...
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.
00:18:58It's not bidding.
00:19:01It's just practical.
00:19:03You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in a tea locker room.
00:19:06Wow.
00:19:19Wow.
00:19:19It's...
00:19:19Your room is down the hall. First door on the left.
00:19:24Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in the fridge labeled to you.
00:19:28That means it's mine.
00:19:30Thanks. I can smell.
00:19:33Then we're going to get along great, roommate.
00:19:49Oh, Jesus. Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:06It's my house. You're the one sneaking around like him.
00:20:11I wasn't sneaking. I was... hydrating.
00:20:19You 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 no staring?
00:20:47Uh, you're leaking.
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?
00:21:12Rule 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.
00:21:29No flirting.
00:21:31Anything else?
00:21:32I need this job.
00:21:33I need this job.
00:21:36I don't have a backup plan or a trust fund or a safety net.
00:21:40So, this thing, whatever it is, if it starts getting in the way of the work, I walk.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:52I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:55I believe you.
00:22:14I'm gonna go to bed now.

00:25:31Well, thanks.
00:25:38You, uh, you wear that dangerously well.

00:26:45Neon.
00:26:46Nightclothes.
00:26:47Available tattoos.
00:26:48If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:26:53I can handle the bright lights.
00:26:55I can handle the pressure.
00:26:57But if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:27:01Could I get the key to my room?
00:27:13Forgot to tell you.
00:27:14Hotels over boats.
00:27:16Just one room.
00:27:17I'll take the king.
00:27:27You can take the couch.
00:27:29Generous.
00:27:32I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:27:34Okay.
00:27:35I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:27:39Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:27:41A couple of drinks.
00:27:42Blackjack.
00:27:43Just team bonding.
00:27:45Team bonding.
00:27:47Is that what we're calling it now?
00:27:52You are not going anywhere.
00:27:59Oh, really?
00:28:01You're locking me in now?
00:28:03If that's what it takes.
00:28:09Go put on swaths.
00:28:11I'm ordering room service.
00:28:12You are getting hot tea and a 9 p.m. bedtime.
00:28:16And what if I misbehave?
00:28:18Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:19And not the wrong way.
00:28:24Oh, God.
00:28:36What?
00:28:37You just accomplished something.
00:28:40Just the guys checking in.
00:29:04You should probably get some sleep.
00:29:06The glitter pit.
00:29:11The glitter pit.
00:29:14You win the game tomorrow.
00:29:15You are not going to a strip club.
00:29:16And what are you going to do?
00:29:18Stay up all night, keep and watch on me?
00:29:20I know if I have to.
00:29:23Suit yourself.
00:29:24Oh, and just so you know.
00:29:36This is how I sleep.
00:29:37Since you're both just get used to it.
00:29:44Great.
00:29:45Now I have to sleep in the same room as his house.
00:29:48I could get used to waking up like this.
00:30:16But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:19Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:30:20Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:31So, that was a fun single.
00:30:35We slept.
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:38It won't happen again.
00:30:38There'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.
00:31:03Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid profile.
00:31:06Samira.
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?
00:31:18I'm her ex.
00:31:20Oh, no.
00:31:28If Eli reveals who my dad is, that'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?
00:31:44I've been training for the Sentinels.
00:31:48Working with Tucker.
00:31:51What?
00:31:52You got a problem with that?
00:31:54No, not 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.
00:32:13I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:32:19We should get something.
00:32:22You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even mentioned the building with your last name.
00:32:25Your ex.
00:32:40Always like that?
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42He's a huge asshole.
00:32:45And what did he mean?
00:32:47What about your last name?
00:32:55Team Bus departs in 15.
00:32:59We've got a game in a few hours.
00:33:02You need to stay focused.
00:33:03No distractions.
00:33:04There you go again.
00:33:06Always trying to control the story.
00:33:08That is literally my job.
00:33:20Club's already hopping.
00:33:25Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:36Nothing crazy.
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?
00:33:55I'm not here to have fun.
00:34:03We'll see about that, intern.
00:34:05I tried not to get recognized every five feet.
00:34:27No promises.
00:34:28Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:30Brazor.
00:34:30Do you dance, or would that be too much fun?
00:34:35Depends.
00:34:36Are you going to try something stupid?
00:34:38Almost definitely.
00:34:39Give me two seconds.
00:35:01You'll be right back.
00:35:02You with the tight end?
00:35:11I'm good.
00:35:12Thanks.
00:35:13That's not what I asked.
00:35:15I said I'm good.
00:35:17Hey, come on.
00:35:19Don't be like that.
00:35:21I'd like to see your tight end.
00:35:22What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:35:43Hitting a woman.
00:35:44Not cool.
00:35:45What the hell?
00:35:46I'm going to have to call unnecessary roughness on that plane.
00:35:50Apologize to her.
00:35:51Screw you.
00:35:53One, two.
00:36:00You okay?
00:36:02Hey, here's where I can see them.
00:36:06Yeah.
00:36:07And that is what you call assault.
00:36:11You got it, McKinney.
00:36:12It was self-defense.
00:36:14Now.
00:36:14Now.
00:36:16Wait.
00:36:22Don't I know you?
00:36:23You bailed your old man out of the slammer.
00:36:26Like father, like daughter.
00:36:28Samira.
00:36:29What is he talking about?
00:36:30The linebacker who paralyzed there?
00:36:46The linebacker who paralyzed there.
00:36:50The MVP with a dirty hit.
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.
00:37:02We've all been there.
00:37:06Usually I at least make it to the second day before I end up in jail.
00:37:09This is not a date.
00:37:13It would be a pretty good story to tell the kids to have the puns.
00:37:18Video gets out of this.
00:37:21I'm finished.
00:37:22I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:37:25It'll come out somewhere.
00:37:26Good.
00:37:27People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:37:32Do you think I'm a lost 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.
00:37:41Sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:37:55You did it.
00:37:57I walked right in.
00:37:59Eyes wide open.
00:38:00But Murray, you made battle.
00:38:09Wow.
00:38:11Look at you two.
00:38:13Just like prom night.
00:38:16Not that you'd know.
00:38:19Jules, how did you-
00:38:20You're welcome, by the way.
00:38:22You'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.
00:38:40HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:45Spoiler alert.
00:38:45You're fired.
00:38:47You're fired.
00:38:48She was defending this.
00:38:49And you were defending her.
00:38:51Blah, blah, blah.
00:38:52She's not staying in here.
00:38:55Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so...
00:38:57Okay, then I stay, too.
00:39:02Excuse me?
00:39:03If she goes down for this, so do I.
00:39:05You're really willing to blow up your career, your entire future, for her?
00:39:10You're damn right I would.
00:39:13Either both of us walk out of here, or neither of us do.
00:39:16Fine.
00:39:24Have it your way.
00:39:26But just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:32Oh, well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:39:52I still feel like I smoked up being those bad decisions.
00:39:57That jail cell, that was worse than the team locker room after two days
00:40:02in the dead of August.

00:46:30Please, shoulders down.
00:46:32First question, deflect. Then redirect.
00:46:36You 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.
00:46:49No pain. Gratitude. This is your growth arc. Give them the headline you want.
00:46:56I've made mistakes, but I'm learning.
00:46:59And I have people in my life now who push me to be better.
00:47:02Not just as a player, but as a man.

00:51:30He's actually been nothing but professional
00:51:32A model representative of the team
00:51:35So far
00:51:37We all know it's only a matter of time before he screws up again
00:51:42Enjoy the evening

00:52:21That's fair
00:52:23That's fair, I might have been a little aggressive
00:52:26Try to get you to crack, but you didn't
00:52:28This is not the story you wanted
00:52:30It's becoming clear
00:52:32Whatever you're doing to rehab his image
00:52:34It's working
00:52:36What's your anger?

00:57:08You look like you could use some company.
00:57:11Thanks.
00:57:12I guess watching your fake boyfriend get auctioned off to your real enemy wasn't exactly the plan tonight.
00:57:24He's not my fake anything.
00:57:25He's not my fake anything.
00:57:26We work together.
00:57:27That's it.
00:57:28Sorry.
00:57:29That was a bad joke.
00:57:30I was just trying to lighten the mood.
00:57:31He didn't even look back.
00:57:32Maybe he did.
00:57:33Maybe he just missed it.
00:57:34He walked right past me.
00:57:35Right out the door together.
00:57:36You know, if you want to, talk, or drink and forget about the night, you're still a pretty
00:57:59and drink and forget about tonight.
00:58:03I'm still a pretty good listener.
00:58:05Are you sure you're not just trying to get the next exclusive on Tucker?
00:58:09Not tonight.
00:58:12Just one drink.
00:58:15Just one.
00:58:20To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:29That hit fast.
00:58:56Are you okay?
00:58:58No.
00:58:58I just... I think I need to lie down.
00:59:02Alright, come on. There's a quiet room just off to the lobby. I'll take you there.
00:59:15Something's... Something's wrong.
00:59:25What are you doing?
00:59:27I miss you, Sammy. We were so good together.
00:59:30Stop!
00:59:31It could be like when we first met.
00:59:34And we couldn't keep our hands off each other, did you?
00:59:36No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:39Get your hands off!
00:59:42What the hell? We're in the middle of something.
00:59:47You sick son of a bitch!
00:59:49No!

00:59:56What?
00:59:57No!
00:59:58No!
00:59:59No!
01:00:00No!
01:00:01No!
01:00:02What? What happened? You were drugged, Eli. What about your date with Jules? How did you?
01:00:28Didn't happen. Took her home. Dropped her off. I was just trying to make you jealous. Childish move. But the truth is, there was only one person I was up on that stage stripping for.
01:00:45You came back for me. Always.
01:00:58Didn't happen.
01:01:00So here's my arm.
01:01:05How am I?
01:01:07How am I?!
01:01:09This is hard in speaking behavior.
01:01:10That's really nice if you're in person.
01:01:17So here's my dashboard.
01:01:20Morning.
01:01:22Hi.
01:01:32What is it?
01:01:34I shouldn't be here.
01:01:36Too late for that. You are?
01:01:38Just tell him the truth about who you really are.
01:01:42If he cares about you,
01:01:44it won't matter.
01:01:50I'm sorry. Please.
01:01:56It was great.
01:01:58An embarrassment.
01:02:00He torched his career, hurt people,
01:02:02dragged the game through the mud.
01:02:04That guy makes me sick.
01:02:09Sorry.
01:02:10You were saying?
01:02:14She said he's a cautionary tale.
01:02:16I would never want to do anything
01:02:18to jeopardize your comeback.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:26Don't look away from this.
01:02:28From me.
01:02:30Whatever happens,
01:02:32we can deal with it.
01:02:34You're making a mistake.
01:02:38Maybe.

01:02:46Actually.
01:02:48Yeah.
01:02:52Big fat.

01:07:45you lied about your identity
01:07:47you manipulated him
01:07:50whatever it takes
01:07:51just clear his name
01:07:53get him back from the field
01:07:54you want me to destroy my reputation
01:07:59for a man you've never even met
01:08:01I'm gonna make it to next one day
01:08:03with a pulse
01:08:13the team's holding the press conference tomorrow
01:08:15won't let me down school
01:08:37I can't imagine who would have had a reason to do something so awful
01:08:40You think this is a game?
01:08:42I think it's a business.
01:08:44And you're not exactly MVP material these days.
01:08:49You set me up.
01:08:53I gave you an out, but you chose her.
01:08:57You torched my career.
01:09:00Please. You were holding a lit match the entire time.
01:09:03I just poured some gasoline on it.
01:09:05Thank you all for coming.
01:09:11The Sentinels Organization takes its code of conduct very seriously.
01:09:17After reviewing the footage and the timeline of the events,
01:09:22we've reached a decision regarding Mr. Newsome's future with the team.
01:09:28Effective immediately...
01:09:35If you're gonna drag someone through the mud,
01:09:41make sure it's the right person.
01:09:44Ms. Richards, this isn't...
01:09:45It's Ms. Rivers, actually.
01:09:48Leon Rivers is my father.
01:09:54And the truth is that video,
01:09:57it wasn't Tucker's mistake.
01:10:01It was mine.
01:10:03I 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 and I compromised my role with this organization.
01:10:15He tried to keep things professional.
01:10:18I didn't.
01:10:20So if anyone should face the consequences for what happened...
01:10:26It's me.
01:10:28You're up.
01:10:30Please.
01:10:31You don't have to do that.
01:10:33Yes, I do.
01:10:35You saved me that night in more ways than one.
01:10:39I won't let you lose everything for doing the right thing.
01:10:45We 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.
01:10:53And I won't let that get buried under spin and scandal.
01:10:59Samira, please.
01:11:02You were always worth the risk.
01:11:07So...
01:11:09You're saying this was a personal failing on your part?
01:11:15Yes.
01:11:17And I'll accept the consequences.
01:11:19Just don't make Tucker your scapegoat.
01:11:26Then, as far as the Sentinels are concerned...
01:11:31This matter is resolved.
01:11:34Tucker Newsome...
01:11:36...has officially been cleared to play on Sunday.
01:11:40You could have told me the truth.
01:11:58You think I wanted this?
01:12:00To be his daughter and have every choice I make get measured against his mistakes?
01:12:03No.
01:12:05But I thought you trusted me enough to tell me.
01:12:08I do trust you.
01:12:10I'm sorry.
01:12:12But you didn't have to take the fall for me.
01:12:16Yes, I did.
01:12:18My father called.
01:12:20He's indeed owes money to people you don't want to owe.
01:12:22And they found out that he has a daughter who works with a pro athlete.
01:12:28With you.
01:12:33You lied to save me.
01:12:35I guess we're even now.
01:12:41You don't have to kill me.
01:12:42I'm not your accountability partner anymore.
01:12:46Besides...
01:12:48You need to focus on the playoffs.
01:12:50No.
01:12:52Screw that.
01:12:58What now?
01:13:01Hello?
01:13:03What's the butt down here?
01:13:05She actually bought it!
01:13:07All I had to say was that they'd kill me.
01:13:11She's on the podium!
01:13:15I don't...
01:13:17Your piece of shit dad lied to you.
01:13:19He's not in debt.
01:13:21He's on the payroll.
01:13:29I don't know why I'm surprised.
01:13:31He has disappointed me my whole life.
01:13:34He sold you out, Sumira.
01:13:37He lied to you.
01:13:39He's your love like leverage.
01:13:42I gave up everything for him.
01:13:45My name.
01:13:46My job.
01:13:47My future.
01:13:49And you saved mine.
01:13:51It has to count for something.
01:13:55It has to count for more than that.
01:13:58He thinks he wins just because you're clear to play.
01:14:02Because I let him back me into a corner.
01:14:05But we are going to beat him at his own game.
01:14:08How?
01:14:11If I know one thing about Leon Rivers.
01:14:14He loves to hear himself talk.
01:14:18So we get him talking.
01:14:20Okay.
01:14:24Okay.
01:14:25You sure about this?
01:14:42No.
01:14:44But I'm doing it anyway.
01:14:48Hey.
01:14:49You ready?
01:14:50Yeah.
01:14:54We will record everything.
01:14:56Alright.
01:14:57Clean feed.
01:14:58My team back at the studio will record it all.
01:15:02And you're sure it won't glitch?
01:15:04This has to work.
01:15:05It will.
01:15:09I know I can't make right what I did.
01:15:13I'm ashamed.
01:15:14I'm so sorry.
01:15:16You're just lucky I didn't press charges.
01:15:19And even luckier that I didn't beat you to death in that hotel room.
01:15:26You're alive.
01:15:33He's here.
01:15:36Alright.
01:15:38Showtime.
01:15:45You're late.
01:15:47You're disgusting.
01:15:49What the fuck have you been doing here?
01:15:50Huh?
01:15:51You still bitter?
01:15:52After everything I taught you?
01:15:54You have never been your real father to me.
01:15:56You threatened me.
01:15:57You lied.
01:15:59You said they'd kill us if Tucker didn't play.
01:16:01You said they'd kill us if Tucker didn't play.
01:16:02You believed it, didn't you?
01:16:03But that's what mattered.
01:16:05You used me.
01:16:07I survived.
01:16:09Same as always.
01:16:11Boy, you're not going to survive this.
01:16:13Sweetheart.
01:16:15The League already bought you a little confession.
01:16:17Your golden boy's back in uniform.
01:16:19I'm sorry.
01:16:21I'm sorry.
01:16:23I'm sorry.
01:16:25I'm sorry.
01:16:27I'm sorry.
01:16:28I'm sorry.
01:16:29Your little confession.
01:16:30Your golden boy's back in uniform.
01:16:33And me?
01:16:35I'm sitting on the payout of a lifetime.
01:16:39You should be thanking me.
01:16:41Almost everything.
01:16:42Because of you.
01:16:44That's that kind of saying.
01:16:46But you kept the team's biggest offensive weapon on the field.
01:16:51Everybody wins.
01:16:52I just better pray that your boyfriend delivers because if the sentence lose today, it won't just be my head on a chopping block. It'll be yours too.
01:17:06It sounded an awful lot like a threat to me.
01:17:11It's not a threat.
01:17:13It's a promise.
01:17:14Yes!
01:17:15We got him.
01:17:16We got him.
01:17:17We got him.
01:17:19Hello police.
01:17:21I need to report a crime.
01:17:23The Sentinels are down by three.
01:17:25Lower five drives.
01:17:26This is it.
01:17:28Set!
01:17:30Woo!
01:17:32Crazy rebellion for a friend.
01:17:34Girl, you found me.
01:17:36Crazy rebellion for a friend.
01:17:39Girl, you found me.
01:17:40Girl, you found me going.
01:17:41Girl, you found me going.
01:17:43Girl, you found me going.
01:17:45Crazy rebellion for a friend.
01:17:47Girl, you found me going.
01:17:49Girl, you found me going.
01:17:52I'm going down, down, down, down.
01:17:57Down.
01:17:59Down.
01:18:03Yeah!
01:18:05Look at him!
01:18:07Fuck that, too, you fucking hero!
01:18:10Yes!
01:18:11Leon Rivers, you're under arrest for conspiracy, wire fraud and rocketeering.
01:18:17Wha-wait, wait, wait.
01:18:18What?
01:18:24Bleh!
01:18:25What the hell is that?
01:18:37Set me up!
01:18:44Set me up!
01:18:46You conniving little bitch!
01:18:49Let go of me!
01:18:51You don't understand!
01:18:53My laptop didn't go get it, dude!
01:18:55No!
01:18:56I did what I had to do!
01:18:57You are doing what you always do!
01:18:59Lying, cheating, you and me!
01:19:01I've done a lot of stupid things in my life!
01:19:03You...
01:19:04You were my biggest mistake!
01:19:10You played your last down!
01:19:17Run to our left!
01:19:18Let me go!
01:19:20Nice hit!
01:19:23Blind side blitz!
01:19:24Never saw me coming up!
01:19:27Neither did I!
01:19:32Tucky-Fu!
01:19:33We did it!
01:19:37We didn't do anything!
01:19:38You tried to sabotage us!
01:19:39Oh!
01:19:40That was just added motivation!
01:19:43Tucker Newsome!
01:19:48Congratulations!
01:19:49What was wrong about you?
01:19:52And you!
01:19:53You're fired!
01:19:54What?!
01:19:57Samira!
01:19:59You've been promoted to Head of Team PR!
01:20:03You burned!
01:20:05I...
01:20:06I don't know what to say!
01:20:07Just say you'll show up Monday with a smile on your face!
01:20:11I will!
01:20:13Thank you!
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 loved you!
01:20:32We loved you!
01:20:42Thank you!
01:20:43Thank you!
01:20:45Thank you!
