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.
00:04:36There are two.
00:04:37I'm not just going to take a selfie.
00:04:40If we're going to take a selfie.
00:04:42Oh no.
00:04:43There's our BA-
00:04:45We're going to take a selfie.
00:04:47There's our BA-
00:04:49We're going to take a selfie.
00:04:50We're going to take a selfie.
00:04:51Did she just call me Radioactive?
00:05:01Well, well.
00:05:06You 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.
00:05:19Mop it up.
00:05:32Better yet, lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you want.
00:05:42Also, those shoes?
00:05:44Trach it.
00:05:49Bye, Tom.
00:05:51No, no, no.
00:05:52Wait!
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.
00:06:20Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:33Please, don't mind her.
00:06:36She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:39So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.
00:06:47I want her.
00:06:52You mean the intern?
00:06:58Excuse me?
00:06:59What do you say?
00:07:00What do you say, partner?
00:07:10Hey, intern.
00:07:11Slow down.
00:07:15You can't just point at someone and make them your babysitter.
00:07:19I always had a thing for my babysitters.
00:07:21Why me?
00:07:24I don't know.
00:07:25There was just something about you when we met before.
00:07:29So, you thought I looked pathetic and felt sorry for me?
00:07:32Great.
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.
00:07:47Let me stop you right there.
00:07:49I'm not your nanny.
00:07:51Or your emotional support human.
00:07:52Or 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.
00:08:02Got it?
00:08:04You scared me a little.
00:08:12I kinda like it.
00:08:14You're welcome.
00:08:18My job isn't to follow you around with duct tape and a fire extinguisher.
00:08:22That actually sounds pretty fun.
00:08:25I am serious.
00:08:27So am I.
00:08:29We want the same thing.
00:08:30You keep me clean, you look like a PR genius.
00:08:33Win-win.
00:08:37And if you don't?
00:08:39We both go down.
00:08:43Hello?
00:08:45Saw you on the TV.
00:08:47New job, new clothes, new name.
00:08:49And suddenly you act like we're done.
00:08:51You don't get to erase me.
00:08:53We're not finished, Samira.
00:08:55Not even close.
00:08:56Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:08:57You think you're special?
00:08:58Because he picked you?
00:08:59Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:02You think you're special?
00:09:03Because he picked you?
00:09:04You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:05Office clutter and, oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:06You think you're special?
00:09:07Because he picked you?
00:09:08You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:09Office clutter and, oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:10You don't get to erase me.
00:09:11You don't get to erase me.
00:09:12You don't get to erase me.
00:09:13We're not finished, Samira.
00:09:14We're not finished, Samira.
00:09:15Not even close.
00:09:16Close.
00:09:17Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:22You think you're special because he picked you?
00:09:27You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:30Office clutter and, oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:34You do not belong here.
00:09:36I didn't ask for this.
00:09:37Oh, honey.
00:09:38I 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.
00:09:56He's not.
00:09:57You are just the latest rehab prop in his redemption arc.
00:10:02And 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.
00:10:11Because when midnight strikes, I'll be the one still holding his balls.
00:10:18And you, you'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for day-old Taco Bell.
00:10:25You finished?
00:10:26Oh, I am just getting started.
00:10:30Hey, intern.
00:10:34I almost forgot.
00:10:36Tucky Poo.
00:10:38Hi.
00:10:40We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:42There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:48I thought you could keep me accountable.
00:10:55I thought 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.
00:11:11Not in that she won't.
00:11:27You gonna stand there all night?
00:11:34Ow.
00:11:41Well, damn, intern.
00:11:53Remind me to pick out all your outfits from home.
00:11:58Remind yourself to check the price tag next time.
00:12:01This costs more than my student wants.
00:12:04And let's get one thing straight.
00:12:06Tonight isn't about us.
00:12:07You're here to charm.
00:12:10Smile.
00:12:12And not end up on page six.
00:12:14Hmm.
00:12:17If you're gonna stare at me like that,
00:12:19I might start to think you like me.
00:12:24This is strictly...
00:12:28A business.
00:12:32A boss.
00:12:37We're gonna be late.
00:12:48We're gonna be late.
00:12:50two hours...
00:12:52Sorry.
00:12:59Mr Newsom...
00:13:01he's a locker room liability.
00:13:04He's not here to win games.
00:13:05He's here to keep TMZ in business.
00:13:07It's their job to stir the pie, but still, it's brutal.
00:13:22You do this long enough, and you start to believe the version of yourself of this, Ellen.
00:13:28Bad boy, locker room cancer, walking head line, figured screw it, might as well just
00:13:35live up to the rep.
00:13:37And 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.
00:13:47Not just this contract.
00:13:50My career.
00:13:54You're not the only one trying to outrun a part of yourself.
00:14:05Is that your new girlfriend, Tucker?
00:14:12Well, that's going to take a while.
00:14:16That's his intern, PR Rehab.
00:14:19She won't last long.
00:14:22Good heavens, Mike, down!
00:14:31That's the commissioner's wife.
00:14:35That's why charity cases like her stay behind the rope.
00:14:42Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:03She's clearly overwhelmed.
00:15:05She doesn't belong in these settings.
00:15:07I tried to tell you.
00:15:09Well, this is your idea, Musa.
00:15:11Fix it, or I'll pull your contract.
00:15:14I'll resign.
00:15:16She's not going anywhere.
00:15:21You said I need to handle her.
00:15:23I chose her.
00:15:25She goes, I go.
00:15:28You're seriously going to jeopardize your comeback.
00:15:33For an intern.
00:15:36What can I say?
00:15:37I thrive on chaos.
00:15:47Hey, wait up!
00:15:51Michael, sorry.
00:15:54We have to stop doing that.
00:15:58Rivers.
00:15:59I thought your last name was Richards.
00:16:19Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:21Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:24Leon, the hit man, Rivers?
00:16:27The linebacker paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:16:34If he finds out, I lose this job, my future, everything.
00:16:39And I am back to waiting tables.
00:16:42Richards is my mom's media name.
00:16:45I use it sometimes.
00:16:46I guess it makes me feel closer to her.
00:16:48Hmm.
00:16:49Sure.
00:16:50Makes sense.
00:16:51As long as you're not secretly in witness protection or something.
00:16:55Can I walk you to your car?
00:16:57I forgot something.
00:16:58You go ahead.
00:16:59I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:00Mm-hmm.
00:17:01Okay.
00:17:02Okay.
00:17:03Okay.

00:26:33If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:26:38I can handle the bright lights.
00:26:40I can handle the pressure.
00:26:41But if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:26:54Could I get the key to my room?
00:26:55Forgot to tell you.
00:26:57Hotels over boats.
00:26:58Just one room.
00:27:09I'll take the king.
00:27:10You can take the couch.
00:27:11Generous.
00:27:12I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:27:16Hm.
00:27:17Okay.
00:27:18I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:27:22Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:27:24Couple of drinks.
00:27:25Blackjack.
00:27:26Just team bonding.
00:27:28Team bonding.
00:27:29Is that what we're calling it now?
00:27:31You are not going anywhere.
00:27:41Oh really?
00:27:42You're locking me in now?
00:27:44If that's what it takes.
00:27:51Go put on sweats.
00:27:52I'm ordering room service.
00:27:53You are getting hot tea and a 9pm bedtime.
00:27:57And what if I misbehave?
00:27:59Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:01And not only.
00:28:18What?
00:28:20You just got something.
00:28:25Oh.
00:28:31What is it?
00:28:43Just the guys checking in.
00:28:45You should probably get some sleep.
00:28:50The glitter pit?
00:28:51You live a game tomorrow.
00:28:52You are not going to a strip club.
00:28:53And what are you going to do?
00:28:54Stay up all night keeping watch on me?
00:28:55I know if I have to.
00:28:56Suit yourself.
00:28:57Oh.
00:28:58Oh.
00:28:59And just so you know.
00:29:04This is how I sleep so you should probably just get used to it.
00:29:09You know.
00:29:10Great.
00:29:11Now I have to sleep in the same room as his abs.
00:29:14What?
00:29:15What?
00:29:16What?
00:29:17What?
00:29:18What?
00:29:19Great. Now I have to sleep in the same room as his abs.
00:29:49I could get used to waking up like this, but he doesn't know the truth about me. Or the last name I'm hiding, which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:09So, that was a fun sleepover.
00:30:14I'm slept. That's it. I won't have it again.
00:30:19There's a breakfast buffet. Heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:30:37You'd eat drywall if it had enough protein in it.
00:30:41Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid profile.
00:30:45Samira, didn'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.
00:30:58I'm her ex.
00:31:06Oh no. If Eli reveals who my dad is, that's it. Game over.
00:31:12Eli, I didn't know you were covering this game.
00:31:15Yeah, I got bumped up from the podcast to on camera this week. I guess I finally impressed someone. What are you doing here?
00:31:22I'm in training for the Sentinels. Working with Tucker.
00:31:28What? You got a problem with that?
00:31:32No, not at all. I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:31:37Wow. And they let you be on camera with that personality. Coming from a guy whose entire personality is catches ball food.
00:31:50Okay boys, I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:31:54We should get something.
00:32:00You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even mentioned the building with your last name.
00:32:03Last name?
00:32:18Your ex. Always like that?
00:32:20Yeah. He's a huge asshole.
00:32:24And what did he mean?
00:32:26About your last name?
00:32:28Team Bus, the park's in 15!
00:32:34We've got a game in a few hours. You need to stay focused. No distractions.
00:32:41There you go again. Always trying to control the story.
00:32:45That is literally my job.
00:32:57Clubs are already hopping.
00:33:04Going out?
00:33:08Uh...
00:33:10Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:13Nothing crazy.
00:33:19You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:33:22I don't think so. I'm coming.
00:33:25You want to keep an eye on me, or you just don't want to miss out on some fun?
00:33:34I'm not here to have fun.
00:33:40We'll see about that.
00:33:42Enter.
00:33:54Try not to get recognized every five feet.
00:34:02No promises.
00:34:04Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:06Bravely.
00:34:08Do you dance, or would that be too much fun?
00:34:11Depends.
00:34:13You gonna try something stupid?
00:34:15Almost definitely.
00:34:20Stupid.
00:34:21No.
00:34:22No.
00:34:24No.
00:34:25No.
00:34:31Tucker Newsome!
00:34:33Can I have your autograph?
00:34:35Give me two seconds.
00:34:37Two. Be right back.
00:34:44You with the tight end?
00:34:45I'm good.
00:34:47Thanks.
00:34:49That's not what I asked you for.
00:34:51I said I'm good.
00:34:53Hey, come on.
00:34:55Don't be like that.
00:34:57I'd like to see your tight end.
00:34:59Come on.
00:35:05What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:35:18Hitting a woman.
00:35:20Not cool.
00:35:22I'm gonna have to call unnecessary roughness on that play.
00:35:25Apologize to her.
00:35:26Screw you!
00:35:28One, two...
00:35:35You okay?
00:35:37Hey!
00:35:38Hands where I can see them!
00:35:41Yep.
00:35:43And that is what you call assault.
00:35:46You gotta be kidding me.
00:35:48It was self-defense.
00:35:49Now!
00:35:56Wait.
00:35:57Don't I know you?
00:35:59You bailed your old man out of the slammer.
00:36:01Like father, like daughter.
00:36:03Samira.
00:36:04What is he talking about?
00:36:05The linebacker paralyzed there.
00:36:06You have a VP with a dirty head.
00:36:10Like father, like daughter.
00:36:11the linebacker paralyzed there. MVP with a dirty hit. Like father, like daughter.
00:36:29My dad had a bit of a temper. He had a road rage incident. Some guy cut him off and he
00:36:35completely lost it. We've all been there.
00:36:41Usually I at least make it to the second date before I end up in jail.
00:36:44This is not a date. It'd be a pretty good story to tell the kids to have their lives.
00:36:53Video gets out of this. I'm finished. I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:36:59It'll come out somewhere. Good. People will see you defending an innocent
00:37:03woman from a violent creep. Do you think I'm the lost cause? No.
00:37:11I think you're used to people treating you like one. So you act like you are.
00:37:25Sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:37:28You did it. I walked right in. Eyes wide open.
00:37:34I heard. I made bail.
00:37:43Wow. Look at you two. Just like prom night.
00:37:50Not that you'd know.
00:37:53Jules, how did you-
00:37:53You're welcome, by the way. You'll be out of here in a minute.
00:37:59You, 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. I mean, you're an intern. Now you're a liability.
00:38:14HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:16I mean, spoiler alert. You're fired.
00:38:21She was defending yourself.
00:38:22And you were defending her. Blah, blah, blah.
00:38:26She's not staying here.
00:38:28Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so...
00:38:32Okay. Then I stay too.
00:38:35Excuse me?
00:38:36If she goes down for this, so do I.
00:38:39You're really willing to blow up your career, your entire future, for her?
00:38:44You're damn right I would.
00:38:46Either both of us walk out of here, or neither of us do.
00:38:55Fine. Have it your way.
00:38:59But just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:13Well, 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, that was worse than the team locker room after two days in the dead of August.
00:39:39When we get home, I need a shower. Like an exorcism level shower.
00:39:44Just don't use all the hot water, please.
00:39:58You know there's like eight bathrooms in this house, right?

01:02:33You 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.
01:02:51That can't be good.
01:03:03Gus?
01:03:04You been online today?
01:03:06No one.
01:03:08You fucked up, Newsome.
01:03:09I told you.
01:03:10It was just a matter of time.
01:03:13Oh my god.
01:03:18What the hell with this?
01:03:22How?
01:03:23I don't understand.
01:03:24Maybe he'll think twice before blowing me off this time.
01:03:42You're sleeping with the intern?
01:03:43You violated your morality clause, so you're suspended.
01:03:47Indefinitely.
01:03:49Indefinitely.
01:03:50Tucker, I'm so sorry.
01:03:54This is because of me.
01:03:56No.
01:03:57This is because of me.
01:03:57No.
01:03:58This is because someone's trying to ruin me, and they used you to do it.
01:04:03They think that I'm the same screw-up that I used to be.
01:04:05They're trying to protect everything that I worked for and burn it down.
01:04:10I should go.
01:04:11I should go.
01:04:12I need to get out of here.
01:04:13You don't have to leave, Samira.
01:04:14You didn't do anything wrong.
01:04:18When you walk out that door, they win.
01:04:38Sometimes you need to know when to punt and live to play another down.
01:04:46What the hell do you want from me?
01:05:08Sit down.
01:05:12You've 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.
01:05:32If Tucker doesn't play, they kill me.
01:05:36That's not my problem.
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.
01:05:53This is because of your mistakes.
01:05:58Again.
01:05:59You can't hold 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 taken for me to get this far?
01:06:11I changed my name.
01:06:13Buried who I was.
01:06:14I spent years proving that I am not you.
01:06:15That I am better than your screw-ups.
01:06:19You 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.
01:06:30I'm so tired of cleaning up your messes.
01:06:35I built this life on my own.
01:06:37Every 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?
01:06:44What could I even do?
01:06:49Publicly take the ball for the video.
01:06:52Say it was you who seduced him.
01:06:55He tried to stop it.
01:06:57You lied about your identity.
01:07:00You manipulated him.
01:07:02Whatever it takes.
01:07:04Just clear his name.
01:07:05Get him back on the field.
01:07:07You want me to destroy my reputation for a man you've never even met?
01:07:13I'm going to make it to next Monday with a pulse.
01:07:25The team's holding a press conference tomorrow.
01:07:29Don't let them down, sweetheart.
01:07:31So 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?
01:07:53I think it's a business.
01:07:54And you're not exactly MVP material these days.
01:08:00You set me up.
01:08:03I gave you an out.
01:08:05But you chose her.
01:08:08You torched my career.
01:08:11Please.
01:08:12You were holding a lit match the entire time.
01:08:14I just poured some gasoline on it.
01:08:16Thank 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. Newsom's future with the team.
01:08:39Effective immediately.
01:08:40If you're going to drag someone through the mud,
01:08:52make 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.
01:09:00And the truth is, that video,
01:09:07it wasn't Tucker's mistake.
01:09:11It 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,
01:09:19and 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,
01:09:34it's me.
01:09:39Samira, please.
01:09:41You 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,
01:09:58who protect women who stand up when it counts.
01:10:01And that is exactly what Tucker Newsome did.
01:10:05And I won't let that get buried under spin and scandal.
01:10:10Samira, please.
01:10:13You were always worth the risk.
01:10:15So, you're saying this was a personal failing on your part?
01:10:26Yes.
01:10:27And I'll accept the consequences.
01:10:30Just don't make Tucker your scapegoat.
01:10:32Then, as far as the Sentinels are concerned,
01:10:41this matter is resolved.
01:10:45Tucker Newsome
01:10:46has officially been cleared to play on Sunday.
01:10:50You 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
01:11:12get measured against his mistakes?
01:11:14No.
01:11:15But I thought you trusted me enough to tell me.
01:11:17I do trust you.
01:11:20I'm sorry.
01:11:22Well, you didn't have to take the fall for me.
01:11:26Yes, I did.
01:11:27My father called.
01:11:30He's indeed.
01:11:31Oows money to people you don't want to owe.
01:11:34And they found out that he has a daughter
01:11:35who works with a pro athlete.
01:11:38With you.
01:11:43You lied to save me.
01:11:44I guess we're even now.
01:11:51You don't have to go.
01:11:53I'm not your accountability partner anymore.
01:11:56Besides,
01:11:57you need to focus on the playoffs.
01:12:00No.
01:12:01Screw that.
01:12:02What now?
01:12:11Hello?
01:12:13Where's the butt down here?
01:12:14She actually bought it!
01:12:17All I had to say was that they kill me
01:12:19and boom!
01:12:21She'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.
01:12:30He's on the paywall.
01:12:32I 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's your love like leverage.
01:12:50I gave up everything for him.
01:12:53My name,
01:12:54my job,
01:12:55my future.
01:12:57And you saved mine.
01:12:58It 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.
01:13:15How?
01:13:16If I know one thing about Leon Rivers,
01:13:22he loves to hear himself talk.
01:13:26So we get him talking.
01:13:27You sure about this?
01:13:48No.
01:13:50But I'm doing it anyway.
01:13:55Hey.
01:13:56You ready?
01:14:01We will record everything.
01:14:03Alright.
01:14:03Clean feed.
01:14:05My team back at the studio will record it all.
01:14:07And you're sure it won't glitch.
01:14:11This has to work.
01:14:12It will.
01:14:15I know I can't make right what I did.
01:14:20I'm ashamed.
01:14:21I'm so sorry.
01:14:23You're just lucky I didn't press charges.
01:14:26And even luckier that I didn't beat you to death in that hotel room.
01:14:33You're alive.
01:14:37He's here.
01:14:43Alright.
01:14:45Showtime.
01:14:54God bless you.
01:15:04You're late.
01:15:06You're disgusting.
01:15:08Fuck what you've been doing here, huh?
01:15:09You still bitter?
01:15:11After everything I taught you?
01:15:13You have never been your real father to me.
01:15:16You threatened me.
01:15:17You lied.
01:15:17You said they'd kill us if Tucker didn't play.
01:15:20You believed it, didn't you?
01:15:22That's what mattered.
01:15:24You used me.
01:15:25I survived.
01:15:25I survived.
01:15:26Same as always.
01:15:28Well, you're not going to survive this.
01:15:31Sweetheart.
01:15:32The League already bought you a little confession, your golden boy's back in uniform.
01:15:37And me?
01:15:38I'm sitting on the payout of a lifetime.
01:15:40I'm sitting on the payout of a lifetime.
01:15:44You should be banking me.
01:15:46I lost everything because of you.
01:15:49I can't say it.
01:15:49But you kept the team's biggest offensive weapon on the field.
01:15:57Everybody wins.
01:15:59I just better pray that your boyfriend delivers because if the Sentinels lose today, it won't
01:16:09just be my head on the chopping block, it'll be yours too.
01:16:12It sounded an awful lot like a threat to me.
01:16:16It's not a threat.
01:16:19It's a promise.
01:16:24Yes!
01:16:25We got him.
01:16:26We got him.
01:16:29Hello, police.
01:16:30I need to report a crime.
01:16:32The Sentinels are down by the three.
01:16:34One of the final tries.
01:16:36This is it.
01:16:37Fit!
01:16:42Woo!
01:17:12Fuck that, you fuck, you fucking hero!
01:17:15Yes!
01:17:16Leon Rivers, you're under arrest for conspiracy, wire fraud, and racketeering.
01:17:22Wait, wait, wait.
01:17:23What?
01:17:24Tightly, I'm going to hug you.
01:17:26What?
01:17:27Oh!
01:17:28Oh!
01:17:29Oh!
01:17:30Oh!
01:17:31Oh!
01:17:32Oh!
01:17:33Oh!
01:17:42Oh!
01:17:43Oh!
01:17:44Oh!
01:17:45Oh!
01:17:46Oh!
01:17:47Oh!
01:17:48Oh!
01:17:49Oh!
01:17:50Oh!
01:17:51Oh!
01:17:52Oh!
01:17:53Oh!
01:17:54Let go of me!
01:17:56You don't understand!
01:17:58I'm thinking you don't get it!
01:18:00I did what I had to do!
01:18:02You are doing what you always do!
01:18:04Cry, cheat, use me!
01:18:06I've done a lot of stupid things in my life!
01:18:08You were my biggest mistake!
01:18:14You played your last down!
01:18:18Run to our left!
01:18:22Let me go!
01:18:26Nice hit!
01:18:28Blond side blitz!
01:18:30Never saw me coming up!
01:18:32Neither did I!
01:18:36Tucky-poo!
01:18:38We did it!
01:18:40We didn't do anything!
01:18:42You tried to sabotage us!
01:18:44Oh, that was just added motivation!
01:18:46Tucker Newsome!
01:18:52Congratulations!
01:18:54I was wrong about you!
01:18:56And you!
01:18:58You're fired!
01:19:00What?!
01:19:02Samira!
01:19:04You'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!
01:19:14I will!
01:19:16Thank you!
01:19:18This is a mistake!
01:19:26You know...
01:19:28I was thinking...
01:19:30Maybe you could be my permanent accountability partner.
01:19:34I'd love to.
01:19:36See you next time!
01:19:38I could turn back times...
01:19:40All the world...
01:19:42What is going on...
01:19:46The time in the world...
01:19:48Now I just need more...
01:19:52To be continued...
01:19:53Yeah, none of the world was going on...
01:19:54Oh!
01:19:56We will!
01:19:59Am I going on?
01:20:00Your passion.
01:20:02You're riding?
01:20:03Yeah.
01:20:04I'm going on!
01:20:05Gosh!
01:20:06You're throwing it real boy!
01:20:08I'm on!
