00:00:01Three seconds left on the clock.
00:00:05Boo!
00:00:06Boo!
00:00:07Boo!
00:00:22Touchdown, Tuken Yusum.
00:00:27God damn it!
00:00:30This is your fault! You're a jeeks!
00:00:33A walking curse! I should've known when your mother left!
00:00:37Bad luck's in your bones!
00:00:39What do you mean, my fault?
00:00:41Wait...
00:00:44Dad, did you bet again?
00:00:46That touchdown just cost me my last hundred K!
00:00:51Your last hundred K?
00:00:53That was my life savings for my future!
00:00:56For what?!
00:00:57I 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?
00:01:15The linebacker who paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit?
00:01:22A man 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 a Rivers.
00:01:41You're my flesh and blood.
00:01:45Pizza's cold.
00:01:47Warm it up for me.
00:01:48No.
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.
00:02:01Then I'll prove I belong.
00:02:03Get the hell out of my house!
00:02:05And don't bother coming back, you ungrateful little bitch!
00:02:08If 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!
00:02:28To the Haters!
00:02:34Ah!
00:02:35Yo Noosun!
00:02:37Ah!
00:02:39You suck!
00:02:48Oh!
00:02:53You suck!
00:02:57He's a mess.
00:02:59But messes make headlines.
00:03:01And headlines fill stadiums.
00:03:05We 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.
00:03:21The 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.
00:03:31And the accountability partner.
00:03:44Damn.
00:03:46You tackle harder than half the league.
00:03:48Tucker, are you sir?
00:03:51Let me guess.
00:03:53You're a fan.
00:03:55You trend every week.
00:03:56But not for football.
00:03:57Bar fights.
00:03:58Suspensions.
00:03:59An Instagram feed that reads like a five-year-old.
00:04:03The sponsor seems radioactive.
00:04:05So I'm guessing that's a hard no on the autograph then huh?
00:04:10But if we pivot now.
00:04:12Lean into redemption.
00:04:14Vulnerability.
00:04:15Carefully curing a comeback.
00:04:17You're not just back in the league.
00:04:19You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:21Samir Ri-
00:04:24Richards.
00:04:26Um.
00:04:27PR.
00:04:28Intern.
00:04:29Well shit.
00:04:30Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:33Welcome to the team.
00:04:35Intern.
00:04:36Hang on.
00:04:38Hang on.
00:04:40Hang on.
00:04:42Start.
00:04:50Now.
00:04:52Oh.
00:04:53She just called me.
00:04:54Radioactive.
00:04:55Well, well, you must be the charity hire.
00:05:08I'm Smear.
00:05:09I know who you are.
00:05:12I told HR I needed a superstar, not a sentient STD with a LinkedIn profile.
00:05:25Mop it up.
00:05:32Better yet, lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you have.
00:05:42Also, those shoes, trash it.
00:05:50No, no, no, wait!
00:06:00We are thrilled to have Tucker here.
00:06:03With the right support system, we believe he can help us win a championship.
00:06:09Which is why we've selected an accountability partner for him to keep him focused on football.
00:06:19Me.
00:06:30Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:32Uh, please, don't mind her.
00:06:36She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:40So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.
00:06:47I want her.
00:06:49You mean the intern?
00:06:55Excuse me?
00:06:59What do you say, partner?
00:07:10Hey, intern!
00:07:11Slow down.
00:07:12You can't just point at someone and make them your babysitter.
00:07:19I've always had a thing for my babysitters.
00:07:22Why me?
00:07:23I don't know.
00:07:24There was just something about you when we met before.
00:07:29So you thought I looked pathetic and felt sorry for me?
00:07:33Great.
00:07:34Nope.
00:07:35I thought you looked like someone who doesn't put up with bullshit.
00:07:38And I come with a lot of it.
00:07:40So what exactly do you expect me to do?
00:07:43Keep me out of the headlines.
00:07:45Unless the good ones.
00:07:46Let me stop you right there.
00:07:49I'm not your nanny, or your emotional support human, or your PR fairy godmother.
00:07:54I am a strategist.
00:07:56That means you don't speak, drink, post, or flirt sideways without my approval.
00:08:01Got it?
00:08:03Yes.
00:08:04You scared me a little.
00:08:11I kinda like it.
00:08:14You're welcome.
00:08:17My job isn't to follow you around with duct tape and a fire extinguisher.
00:08:22That actually sounds pretty fun.
00:08:24I am serious.
00:08:26So am I.
00:08:27We want the same thing.
00:08:29You keep me clean, you look like a PR genius.
00:08:32Win-win.
00:08:36And if you don't?
00:08:37We both go down.
00:08:44Hello?
00:08:45Saw you on the TV.
00:08:46New job.
00:08:47New clothes.
00:08:48New name.
00:08:49And suddenly you act like we're done.
00:08:51You don't get to erase me.
00:08:52We're not finished, Samira.
00:08:53Not even close.
00:08:57Oh.
00:08:58Look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:00You think you're special because he picked you?
00:09:03You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:04Office clutter.
00:09:05And oh my god.
00:09:06Clearance heals.
00:09:07You do not belong here.
00:09:08Oh my god.
00:09:09You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:11Office clutter.
00:09:12And oh my god.
00:09:13Clearance heals.
00:09:14You do not belong here.
00:09:15Oh my god.
00:09:16You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:17Office clutter.
00:09:18And oh my god.
00:09:19Clearance heals.
00:09:20You do not belong here.
00:09:21I didn't ask for this.
00:09:22Oh honey.
00:09:23I see what you're up to.
00:09:27But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:30Bombshells and boss bitches.
00:09:33And you.
00:09:34You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:35You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:36Office clutter.
00:09:37And oh my god.
00:09:38Clearance heals.
00:09:39You do not belong here.
00:09:40I didn't ask for this.
00:09:41Oh honey.
00:09:42I see what you're up to.
00:09:43But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:46Bombshells and boss bitches.
00:09:49And you are neither.
00:09:52Well maybe he's tired of that type.
00:09:54Trust me.
00:09:55He's not.
00:09:57You are just the latest rehab prop in his redemption arc.
00:10:01And you'll be gone the minute his jersey sales spike like a bad case of herpes.
00:10:06Oh my god.
00:10:08So enjoy your little Cinderella moment.
00:10:12Because when midnight strikes, I'll be the one still holding his balls.
00:10:19And you?
00:10:20You'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for day old Taco Bell.
00:10:25You finished?
00:10:26Oh.
00:10:27I am just getting started.
00:10:30Hey intern.
00:10:34I almost forgot.
00:10:36Tucky Poo.
00:10:37Hi.
00:10:38We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:42There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:47Thought you could keep me accountable.
00:10:51Thought you could wear this.
00:10:57I'm not an escort.
00:11:01I know.
00:11:02More like a chaperone.
00:11:04And I need to be at my best behavior.
00:11:06She doesn't even own evening wear.
00:11:08You'll embarrass yourself.
00:11:10Not in that she won't.
00:11:12You're going to stay in there all night?
00:11:29Oh.
00:11:30Ow.
00:11:31Oh.
00:11:32Well, damn intern.
00:11:50Remind me to pick out all your outfits from home.
00:11:57Remind yourself to check the price tag next time.
00:12:00This costs more than my student wants.
00:12:04And let's get one thing straight.
00:12:06Tonight isn't about us.
00:12:08You're here to charm, smile, and not end up on page six.
00:12:17If you're gonna stare at me like that, I might start to think you like me.
00:12:21This is strictly...
00:12:28...a business.
00:12:32Floss.
00:12:47We're gonna be late.
00:12:51Dr. Newsome.
00:13:01He's a locker room liability.
00:13:03He's not here to win games.
00:13:05He's here to keep TMZ in business.
00:13:15It's their job to stir the pie.
00:13:17But still, it's brutal.
00:13:22You do this long enough, and you start to believe the version of yourself of this, Ellen.
00:13:27Bad boy.
00:13:29Locker room cancer.
00:13:31Walking headline.
00:13:33Figured screw it.
00:13:35Might as well just live up to the rep.
00:13:38And now?
00:13:39I don't know who the hell I'm trying to be, but I do know that if I mess up, it's over.
00:13:48Not just this contract.
00:13:51My career.
00:13:55You're not the only one trying to outrun a part of yourself.
00:13:57Is that your new girlfriend, Tucker?
00:13:58Well, that's gonna take a while.
00:13:59That's his intern, PR rehab.
00:14:03She won't last long.
00:14:04Good heavens, my child!
00:14:12That's his intern, PR Rehab.
00:14:19She won't last long.
00:14:22Good heavens, my town!
00:14:27That's the commissioner's wife!
00:14:32That's why charity cases like her stay behind the rope.
00:14:37Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:05She's clearly overwhelmed. She doesn't belong in these settings. I tried to tell you.
00:15:10Well, this is your idea, Musim. Fix it, or I'll pull your contract.
00:15:15I'll resign.
00:15:17She's not going anywhere.
00:15:22You said I need to handle her. I chose her. She goes, I go.
00:15:31You're seriously going to jeopardize your comeback. For an intern.
00:15:37What can I say? I thrive on chaos.
00:15:47Hey, wait up!
00:15:51Michael, sorry.
00:15:53We have to settle for that.
00:15:56Rivers?
00:16:09I thought your last name was Richards.
00:16:14Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:23Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:25Leon, the Hitman nurse?
00:16:29The linebacker who paralyzed every MVP with a dirty hit.
00:16:35If he finds out, I lose this job, my future, everything. And I am back to waiting tables.
00:16:44Richards is my mom's maiden name. I use it sometimes. I guess it makes me feel closer to her.
00:16:50Sure.
00:16:56Makes sense.
00:16:57As long as you're not secretly in witness protection or something.
00:17:03Can I walk you to your car?
00:17:06I, uh, forgot something.
00:17:08You go ahead. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:20I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:34Hello?
00:17:45Oh.
00:17:51Oh. Sorry.
00:17:57I didn't see anything.
00:17:59Okay. You can cry. Or you can suck it up and pretend you still have a career. And your dignity.
00:18:06Please. You practically saw my credit score.
00:18:13Uh, how long?
00:18:15It's just, uh, I got kicked out of my house.
00:18:26Yeah.
00:18:27Pack your things.
00:18:29What?
00:18:30You moving in. With me.
00:18:33Tucker, no. That's not-
00:18:3524-7 means 24-7.
00:18:37You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:18:41It's more like a haunted boiler room.
00:18:46I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:18:49It's not pity. It's just practical.
00:18:52You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in the team locker room.
00:18:55Wow.
00:19:11Your room is down the hall. First door on the left. Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in the fridge labeled TM. That means it's mine.
00:19:15Thanks. I can smell.
00:19:16Then we're gonna get along great.
00:19:17Roomie.
00:19:21I can spell.
00:19:24Then we're gonna get along great, roommate.
00:19:51Oh, Jesus. Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:19:56It's my house. You're the one sneaking around like it. Like who?
00:20:02I wasn't sneaking. I was...
00:20:06...hydrating.
00:20:14You could really use some better snacks.
00:20:16Take the cab.
00:20:17I wasn't staring, by the way.
00:20:21I never said you were.
00:20:23Good. Because I wasn't.
00:20:34Still not staring?
00:20:36Uh, you're leaking.
00:20:40Sweat, you're up. It's distracting.
00:20:42It's distracting.
00:20:45I'll try to be less distracting.
00:20:51Look.
00:20:53If we're gonna live together, we should probably set some ground rules.
00:20:57Was I a bad boy?
00:21:00Rule one.
00:21:02Shirts.
00:21:03Shirts.
00:21:06I feel targeted.
00:21:08Rule two.
00:21:10No flirting.
00:21:12Okay.
00:21:14So, shirts are mandatory.
00:21:17No flirting.
00:21:19Anything else?
00:21:21I need this job.
00:21:22I don't have a backup plan or a trust fund or a safety net.
00:21:28So, this thing, whatever it is, if it starts getting in the way of the work, I walk.
00:21:38Okay.
00:21:40I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:42I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:44I believe you.
00:22:02I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:22:05Goodnight.
00:22:06Well, if it isn't PowerPoint Barbie.
00:22:26How is our resident accountability partner?
00:22:29Or wait, is it, um, handler with benefits?
00:22:36Aw.
00:22:38I mean, don't feel bad.
00:22:40We all play our part.
00:22:42Some of us cheer from the sidelines.
00:22:45Others just, um, warm the bench.
00:22:51Just doing my part to disinfect the desperation.
00:22:56Skank.
00:22:57Okay.
00:23:19You good?
00:23:23You so much as breathe running in her direction again.
00:23:25The only person you're gonna be doing PR for on this team is the mascot.
00:23:29You can't possibly be taking her side.
00:23:32You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:23:35Save it, Jules.
00:23:36The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:23:42This isn't over.
00:23:47What are you waiting for?
00:23:49Go!
00:23:50Walk!
00:23:55Oh, God.
00:24:01Let's get you changed out of that shirt.
00:24:19What are you doing?
00:24:20Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:21What are you doing?
00:24:22Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:23What are you doing?
00:24:24Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:37You are being tired.
00:24:38I can fight my own battles.
00:25:08I know, but sometimes it's nice to know you don't have to.
00:25:17Well, thanks.
00:25:23You uh, you wear that dangerously well.
00:25:28Be careful, you're getting awfully close to flirting.
00:25:36I thought that was against the rules.
00:25:46It is.
00:25:55I guess that's our cue.
00:26:02Yeah, guess so.
00:26:08Pack your bags.
00:26:20Excuse me?
00:26:21We've got a game in Vegas.
00:26:23Sunday.
00:26:24Team plan leaves in an hour.
00:26:26I need you with me.
00:26:27Vegas?
00:26:28Same city.
00:26:29Neon.
00:26:30Nightclubs.
00:26:31Available tattoos.
00:26:32If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:26:37I can handle the bright lights.
00:26:39I can handle the pressure.
00:26:41But if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:26:45Could I get the key to my room?
00:26:55Forgot to tell you.
00:26:56Hotels over boats.
00:26:58Just one room.
00:27:04I'll take the king, you can take the couch.
00:27:11Generous.
00:27:14I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:27:17Okay.
00:27:18I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:27:21Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:27:23Couple of drinks.
00:27:24Blackjack.
00:27:25Just team bonding.
00:27:27Team bonding.
00:27:29Is that what we're calling it now?
00:27:35You are not going anywhere.
00:27:40Oh really?
00:27:41You're locking me in now?
00:27:43If that's what it takes.
00:27:50Go put on sweats.
00:27:51I'm ordering room service.
00:27:52You are getting hot tea and a 9pm bedtime.
00:27:57And what if I misbehave?
00:27:59Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:00And not the lovely.
00:28:01And not the lovely.
00:28:17What?
00:28:19You just...
00:28:20Google something.
00:28:24Oh.
00:28:29What is it?
00:28:42Just the guys checking in.
00:28:44You should probably get some sleep.
00:28:49The glitter pit?
00:28:53You win the game tomorrow.
00:28:54You are not going to a strip club.
00:28:55And what are you going to do?
00:28:56Stay up all night keeping watch on me?
00:28:59I will if I have to.
00:29:02Suit yourself.
00:29:08Oh.
00:29:09Just so you know.
00:29:10This is how I sleep so you should probably just get used to it if you don't.
00:29:23Great.
00:29:24Now I have to sleep in the same room as his abs.
00:29:27I can get used to waking up like this.
00:29:28But he doesn't know the truth.
00:29:29I can get used to waking up like this.
00:29:30But he doesn't know the truth.
00:29:31I can get used to waking up like this.
00:29:32But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:29:33Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:29:34Which is exactly why I can't.
00:29:35I can get used to waking up like this.
00:29:37But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:29:38Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:29:39Which is exactly why I can't.
00:29:40So.
00:30:09So.
00:30:11That was a fun sleepover.
00:30:13I'm slept.
00:30:14That's it.
00:30:16I won't have it again.
00:30:33There's a breakfast buffet.
00:30:35Heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:30:37You'd eat drywall.
00:30:38If it had enough protein in it.
00:30:41Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid profile.
00:30:47Samira.
00:30:48Didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:30:53Eli, what are you doing here?
00:30:55Who are you?
00:30:57I'm her ex.
00:30:58Oh no.
00:30:59If Eli reveals who my dad is, that's it.
00:31:11Game over.
00:31:12Eli, I didn't know you were covering this game.
00:31:14Yeah, I got bumped up from the podcast to on camera this week.
00:31:19I guess I finally impressed someone.
00:31:20What are you doing here?
00:31:22I'm interning for the Sentinels.
00:31:25Working with Tucker.
00:31:26What?
00:31:27You got a problem with that?
00:31:29No.
00:31:30Not at all.
00:31:31I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:31:37Wow.
00:31:38And they let you be on camera with that personality.
00:31:41Coming from a guy whose entire personality is catches ball food.
00:31:50Okay boys.
00:31:51I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:31:57We should get something.
00:31:58You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even mentioned the building with your last name.
00:32:17Your ex always liked that?
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:20He's a huge asshole.
00:32:23And what did he mean?
00:32:25About your last name?
00:32:28Team Bust departs in 15.
00:32:36We've got a game in a few hours.
00:32:37You need to stay focused.
00:32:39No distractions.
00:32:41There you go again.
00:32:42Always trying to control the story.
00:32:44That is literally my job.
00:32:45Club's already hopping.
00:33:04Going out?
00:33:05Oh.
00:33:06Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:12Nothing crazy.
00:33:14Hmm.
00:33:18You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:33:21I don't think so.
00:33:22I'm coming.
00:33:25You want to keep an eye on me or you just don't want to miss out on some fun?
00:33:29I'm not here to have fun.
00:33:30We'll see about that, intern.
00:33:31I'm not here to have fun.
00:33:36We'll see about that, intern.
00:33:41Tried not to get recognized every five feet?
00:33:45No promises.
00:33:46Fame is a burden I carry.
00:33:48Bravely.
00:33:49Do you dance or would that be too much fun?
00:33:51Depends.
00:33:52You gonna try something stupid?
00:33:53Almost definitely.
00:33:54Oh.
00:33:55No.
00:33:56No.
00:33:57No.
00:33:58No.
00:33:59No.
00:34:00No.
00:34:01No.
00:34:02No.
00:34:03No.
00:34:04No.
00:34:05No.
00:34:06No.
00:34:07No.
00:34:08No.
00:34:09No.
00:34:10No.
00:34:11No.
00:34:12No.
00:34:13No.
00:34:14No.
00:34:15No.
00:34:16No.
00:34:17No.
00:34:18No.
00:34:20No.
00:34:21No.
00:34:31Tucker Newsome, can I have your autograph?
00:34:35Give me two seconds.
00:34:36Two, be right back.
00:34:39You the tight end?
00:34:42I'm good thanks.
00:34:43That's not what I asked, sweetheart.
00:34:48That's not what I asked, sweetheart.
00:34:50I said I'm good.
00:34:52Hey, come on.
00:34:54Don't be like that.
00:34:56I'd like to see your tight end.
00:35:04What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:35:08Hitting a woman. Not cool.
00:35:20What the hell?
00:35:21I'm gonna have to call unnecessary roughness on that play. Apologize to her.
00:35:25Screw you!
00:35:27Run, sir.
00:35:34You okay?
00:35:36Hey! Here's where I can see them.
00:35:40Yeah.
00:35:41And that is what you call a self.
00:35:45You gotta be kidding me.
00:35:46It was self-defense.
00:35:48Now!
00:35:55Wait. Don't I know you?
00:35:57You bailed your old man out of this slammer.
00:36:00Like father, like daughter.
00:36:02Samira, what does he tell you about?
00:36:06You're lying back and you're paralyzed, man.
00:36:10We have a VP with a dirty head.
00:36:12Like father, like daughter.
00:36:14My dad had a bit of a temper.
00:36:18He had a road rage incident.
00:36:20Some guy cut him off and he completely lost it.
00:36:23We've all been there.
00:36:24Usually I at least make it to the second date before I end up in jail.
00:36:34This is not a date.
00:36:35It would be a pretty good story to tell a kid still if they want.
00:36:36Video gets out of this. I'm finished.
00:36:45I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:36:46It'll come out somewhere.
00:36:47Good.
00:36:48People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:36:52Do you think I'm the last cause?
00:36:53No.
00:36:54I think you're used to people treating you like one.
00:36:55So you act like you are.
00:36:56Sorry, Drew.
00:36:57Pulling you in the back.
00:36:58Sorry, Drew.
00:36:59Pulling you in the back.
00:37:00I'm so sorry, Drew.
00:37:01I can't see anyone with their phones out.
00:37:02It will come out somewhere.
00:37:03Good.
00:37:04People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:37:05Do you think I'm the last cause?
00:37:08No.
00:37:10I think you're used to people treating you like one.
00:37:14So you act like you are.
00:37:25Sorry for...
00:37:26pulling you into this mess.
00:37:29You did it.
00:37:31I walked right in.
00:37:33Eyes wide open.
00:37:35Murray.
00:37:36You made bail.
00:37:40Wow, look at you two.
00:37:46Just like prom night.
00:37:50Not that you'd know.
00:37:52Jules, how did you...
00:37:54You're welcome, by the way.
00:37:56You'll be out of here in a minute.
00:37:58You, on the other hand, can enjoy your complimentary night in the slammer.
00:38:04What?
00:38:07You're not even under contract with the team.
00:38:10I mean, you're an intern.
00:38:12Now, you're a liability.
00:38:14HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:18Spoiler alert.
00:38:19You're fired.
00:38:21She was defending yourself.
00:38:22And you were defending her.
00:38:24Blah, blah, blah.
00:38:26She's not staying in here.
00:38:28Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so...
00:38:32Okay.
00:38:33Then I stay too.
00:38:35Excuse me?
00:38:36If she goes down for this, so do I.
00:38:38You're really willing to blow up your career, your entire future, for her.
00:38:44You're damn right I would.
00:38:47Either both of us walk out of here, or neither of us do.
00:38:55Fine.
00:38:56Have it your way.
00:38:57But just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:04Well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:39:23I still feel like I smell like other people's bad decisions.
00:39:30That jail cell.
00:39:31That was worse than the team locker room after two-a-days in the dead of August.
00:39:35Mm.
00:39:38Ugh.

00:56:21Going twice
00:56:23Sold
00:56:25Better cancel your plans, Tucky
00:56:29You're mine tonight
00:56:31You look like you could use some company
00:56:45Thanks
00:56:48I guess watching your fake boyfriend get auctioned off to your real enemy wasn't exactly the plan tonight
00:56:55He's not my fake anything
00:56:57We work together
00:56:59That's it
00:57:00Sorry, that was a bad joke
00:57:03I was just trying to lighten the mood
00:57:04He didn't even look back
00:57:07Maybe he did
00:57:08Maybe he just missed it
00:57:10He walked right past me
00:57:12Right out the door together
00:57:14You know, if you want to talk
00:57:17Or drink
00:57:19And forget about the night
00:57:20I'm still a pretty good listener
00:57:22Are you sure you're not just trying to get the next exclusive on, Tucker?
00:57:28Not tonight
00:57:29Just one drink
00:57:32Just one
00:57:34To old friends, new beginnings
00:57:52What?
00:58:11What?
00:58:11I hit fast
00:58:13Is he okay?
00:58:15No
00:58:15I just
00:58:17I think I need to lay down
00:58:19All right
00:58:20Come on
00:58:21There's a quiet room just off to the lobby
00:58:22I'll take you there
00:58:23I'll take you there
00:58:24Wait
00:58:25What are you doing?
00:58:43I miss you, Sammy
00:58:45We were so good together
00:58:47Stop
00:58:47It can be like when we first met
00:58:49We couldn't keep our hands off each other
00:58:52No
00:58:53No
00:58:55Get your hands off
00:58:56What the hell, man?
00:59:00We're in the middle of something
00:59:00Tucker
00:59:02You sick son of a bitch
00:59:06You sick son of a bitch
00:59:36What, what happened?
00:59:39You were drugged, Eli.
00:59:42What about your date with Jules?
00:59:44How did you?
00:59:45Didn't happen.
00:59:46Took her home, dropped her off.
00:59:48I was just trying to make you jealous.
00:59:52Childish move.
00:59:55But the truth is, there was only one person
00:59:59I was up on that stage stripping for.
01:00:02You came back for me.
01:00:04It's always.
01:00:34Morning.
01:00:37Hi.
01:00:39What is it?
01:00:41I shouldn't be here.
01:00:43Too late for that.
01:00:44You are.
01:00:45Just tell him the truth about who you really are.
01:00:49If he cares about you, it won't matter.
01:00:50Um.
01:00:51Tucker.
01:00:52There's something I need to tell you.
01:00:56Leon Rivers.
01:00:57He's...
01:00:58A disgrace.
01:00:59An embarrassment.
01:01:00He torched his career, hurt people, dragged the game through the mud.
01:01:07That guy makes me sick.
01:01:09Sorry.
01:01:10You were saying?
01:01:11She said he's a cautionary tale.
01:01:12And I would never want to do anything to jeopardize your comeback.
01:01:16Hey.
01:01:17Don't look away from this.
01:01:18From me.
01:01:19Don't look away from this.
01:01:20From me.
01:01:21Whatever happens.
01:01:22We can deal with it.
01:01:23Whatever happens.
01:01:24We can deal with it.
01:01:25I'm sorry.
01:01:26I'm sorry.
01:01:27I'm sorry.
01:01:28I'm sorry.
01:01:29I'm sorry.
01:01:30I'm sorry.
01:01:31I'm sorry.
01:01:32I'm sorry.
01:01:33You were saying?
01:01:34You're making a mistake.
01:01:35Maybe.
01:01:39Just mind the mac.
01:01:40Hey.
01:01:41I'm sorry.
01:01:42I'm sorry.
01:01:43I'm sorry.
01:01:44Yeah, it's the last thing to jeopardize your comeback.
01:01:46Hey.
01:01:47Don't look away from this.
01:01:48From me.
01:01:49Whatever happens.
01:01:50We can deal with it.
01:01:51You're making a mistake.
01:01:53Maybe.
01:01:56Or just mind the mac.
01:01:58This is so good.
01:02:28You ready to experience greatness?
01:02:40My protein smoothie specialty.
01:02:43Just promise me you're not going to start making me do push-ups.
01:02:46I'll see.
01:02:47That can't be good.
01:02:56Gus?
01:03:03You been online today?
01:03:06No.
01:03:07Why?
01:03:08You fucked up, Newsom.
01:03:10I told you.
01:03:11It was just a matter of time.
01:03:13Oh my god.
01:03:19What the hell with this?
01:03:22How?
01:03:23I don't understand.
01:03:25Maybe he'll think twice before blowing me off next time.
01:03:50You're sleeping with the intern.
01:03:51You violated your morality rules.
01:03:52So you're suspended.
01:03:53Indefinitely.
01:03:55Indefinitely.
01:03:56Tucker I'm so sorry.
01:03:57This is because of me.
01:03:58No.
01:03:59This is because someone's trying to ruin me.
01:04:01And they used you to do it.
01:04:05They think that I'm the same screw up that I used to be.
01:04:06They're trying to protect everything that I worked for and burn it down.
01:04:12I should go.
01:04:13I should go.
01:04:14I need to get out of here.
01:04:15You don't have to leave.
01:04:16You don't have to leave, Samira.
01:04:17You didn't do anything wrong.
01:04:18You walk out that door, they win.
01:04:22Sometimes you need to know when to punt and live to play another down.
01:04:23You need to know when to punt and play another down.
01:04:24You need to know when to punt and play another down.
01:04:29You need to know when to punt and play another down.
01:04:53What the hell do you want from me?
01:05:08Sit down.
01:05:13You just signed your old man's death warrant.
01:05:16That video wasn't my fault.
01:05:18You think I wanted this to happen?
01:05:20What I think doesn't matter.
01:05:22What matters is there's seven figures riding on the Sentinels winning this weekend's playoff game.
01:05:27And now their number one red zone threat is suspended.
01:05:31If Tucker doesn't play, they kill me.
01:05:35That's not my fault.
01:05:38It is now.
01:05:39Because if I go down, they're not just coming for me.
01:05:43They're coming for you and him.
01:05:52This is because of your mistakes.
01:05:57Again.
01:05:58You gambled everything.
01:06:01Your money, your career, your life.
01:06:04And now you expect me to fix it?
01:06:06Do you have any idea what it's taking for me to get this far?
01:06:11I changed my name.
01:06:12Buried who I was.
01:06:13I spent years proving that I am not you.
01:06:15That I am better than your screw-ups.
01:06:17You expect me to blow it all up just to keep you breathing?
01:06:23Yeah.
01:06:24That's right.
01:06:25I'm the only family you got.
01:06:28I'm so tired of cleaning up your messes.
01:06:34I built this life on my own.
01:06:36Every step of it.
01:06:37No one handed it to me.
01:06:39And I sure as hell didn't gamble it away.
01:06:43You done?
01:06:48What could I even do?
01:06:49Publicly take the ball for the video.
01:06:51Say it was you who seduced him.
01:06:54He tried to stop it.
01:06:56You lied about your identity.
01:06:59You manipulated him.
01:07:01Whatever it takes.
01:07:04Just clear his name.
01:07:05Get him back on the field.
01:07:09You want me to destroy my reputation.
01:07:12For a man you've never even met.
01:07:14I'm going to make it to next Monday.
01:07:16With a pulse.
01:07:26The team's holding the press conference tomorrow.
01:07:28Don't let them down, sweet.
01:07:46So sorry about your leaked tape.
01:07:49I can't imagine who would have had a reason to do something so awful.
01:07:52You think this is a game?
01:07:54I think it's a business.
01:07:55And you're not exactly MVP material these days.
01:08:00You set me up.
01:08:04I gave you an out. But you chose her.
01:08:08You torched my career.
01:08:11Please. You were holding a lit match the entire time.
01:08:14I just poured some gasoline on it.
01:08:20Thank you all for coming.
01:08:23The Sentinels Organization takes its code of conduct very seriously.
01:08:29After reviewing the footage and the timeline of the events,
01:08:34we've reached a decision regarding Mr. Newsome's future with the team.
01:08:40Effective immediately...
01:08:41If you're gonna drag someone through the mud, make sure it's the right person.
01:08:54Ms. Richards, this isn't...
01:08:56It's Ms. Rivers, actually.
01:08:59Leon Rivers is my father.
01:09:05And the truth is that video,
01:09:07it wasn't Tucker's mistake.
01:09:10It was mine.
01:09:13I was the one who crossed the line.
01:09:15I pursued him and I lied about who I was.
01:09:18I let things get personal and I compromised my role with this organization.
01:09:25He tried to keep things professional.
01:09:28I didn't.
01:09:30So if anyone should face the consequences for what happened...
01:09:36It's me.
01:09:40Samira, please. You don't have to do this.
01:09:43Yes, I do.
01:09:46You saved me that night in more ways than one.
01:09:50I won't let you lose everything for doing the right thing.
01:09:56We all say we want players who are good men,
01:09:59who protect women, who stand up when it counts.
01:10:02And that is exactly what Tucker Newsome did.
01:10:04And I won't let that get buried under spin and scandal.
01:10:11Samira, please.
01:10:13You were always worth the risk.
01:10:18So...
01:10:20You're saying this was a personal failing on your part?
01:10:26Yes.
01:10:28And I'll accept the consequences.
01:10:30Just don't make Tucker your scapegoat.
01:10:35Then, as far as the Sentinels are concerned...
01:10:41This matter is resolved.
01:10:45Tucker Newsome...
01:10:47Has officially been cleared to play on Sunday.
01:11:04You could have told me the truth.
01:11:08You think I wanted this?
01:11:10To be his daughter and have every choice I make get measured against his mistakes?
01:11:14No.
01:11:16But I thought you trusted me enough to tell me.
01:11:18I do trust you.
01:11:20I'm sorry.
01:11:22But you didn't have to take the fall for me.
01:11:25Yes, I did.
01:11:26My father called.
01:11:29He's indeed owes money to people you don't want to owe.
01:11:33And they found out that he has a daughter who works with a pro athlete.
01:11:37With you.
01:11:39You lied to save me.
01:11:43You lied to save me.
01:11:46Guess we're even now.
01:11:51You don't have to go.
01:11:53I'm not your accountability partner anymore.
01:11:56Besides...
01:11:58You need to focus on the playoffs.
01:12:00No. Screw that.
01:12:01What now?
01:12:09Hello?
01:12:11Where's the butt down here?
01:12:14She actually bought it!
01:12:16All I had to say was that they killed me and...
01:12:20She's on the podium!
01:12:23I don't...
01:12:25Your piece of shit dad lied to you.
01:12:27He's not in debt.
01:12:28He's not in debt.
01:12:30He's on the paywall.
01:12:36I don't know why I'm surprised.
01:12:38He has disappointed me my whole life.
01:12:43He sold you out, Sumira.
01:12:45He lied to you.
01:12:47He used your love like leverage.
01:12:50I gave up everything for him.
01:12:53My name.
01:12:55My job.
01:12:56My future.
01:12:57And you saved mine.
01:13:00It has to count for something.
01:13:03It has to count for more than that.
01:13:06He thinks he wins just because you're clear to play.
01:13:10Because I let him back me into a corner.
01:13:13But we're gonna beat him at his own game.
01:13:16How?
01:13:17How?
01:13:20If I know one thing about Leon Rivers...
01:13:23He loves to hear himself talk.
01:13:26So we get him talking.
01:13:27You sure about this?
01:13:28No.
01:13:32But I'm doing it anyway.
01:13:33Hey.
01:13:37Hey.
01:13:38Hey.
01:13:39Hey.
01:13:40Hey.
01:13:41Hey.
01:13:42Hey.
01:13:43Hey.
01:13:44Hey.
01:13:45Hey.
01:13:46Hey.
01:13:47Hey.
01:13:48We will record everything.
01:13:49Alright.
01:13:50Clean feed.
01:13:51But I'm doing it anyway.
01:13:55Hey.
01:13:57You ready?
01:14:01We will record everything.
01:14:03Alright, clean feed.
01:14:05My team back at the studio will record it all.
01:14:09And you're sure it won't glitch?
01:14:11This has to work.
01:14:13It will.
01:14:15I know I can't make right what I did.
01:14:19I'm really ashamed.
01:14:21I'm so sorry.
01:14:23You're just lucky I didn't press charges.
01:14:27I'm even luckier that I didn't beat you to death in that hotel room.
01:14:33You're alive.
01:14:39He's here.
01:14:43Alright.
01:14:45Showtime.
01:14:49You're late.
01:14:51You're disgusting.
01:14:53Fuck what you've been doing here, huh?
01:14:55You still bitter?
01:14:57After everything I taught you?
01:14:59You have never been your real father to me.
01:15:01You threatened me?
01:15:03You lied?
01:15:05You said they'd kill us if Tucker didn't play.
01:15:07You believed it, didn't you?
01:15:09That's what mattered.
01:15:11You used me.
01:15:13I survived.
01:15:15Same as always.
01:15:17Well, you're not going to survive this.
01:15:19Sweetheart.
01:15:21The League already bought you a little confession.
01:15:23You're golden boys back in uniform.
01:15:25And me?
01:15:27I'm sitting on the payout of a lifetime.
01:15:29You should be thanking me.
01:15:31Almost everything.
01:15:32Because of you.
01:15:33Second, I'm saying.
01:15:34But you kept the team's biggest offensive weapon on the field.
01:15:37Everybody wins.

01:18:37Oh, we did it!
01:18:41We didn't do anything.

01:18:44Oh, that was just added motivation.
01:18:47Tucker Newsome.
01:18:52Congratulations.
01:18:53I was wrong about you.
01:18:56And you.
01:18:57You're fired.
01:18:58What?!
01:19:00Samira.
01:19:02You've been promoted to head of team PR.
01:19:06You burned.
01:19:08I don't know what to say.
01:19:10Just say you'll show up Monday with a smile on your face.
01:19:15I will.
01:19:17This is a mistake!
01:19:19This is a mistake!

01:19:34We love you.
01:19:35We love you.
01:19:36We love you.
