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.
00:04:39Well, well.
00:04:40Good.
00:04:41Well, well.
00:04:42I'm not sure.
00:04:43I'm not sure.
00:04:45I'm not sure.
00:04:47I'm not sure.
00:04:48I'm not sure.
00:04:50But I'm not sure.
00:04:52I'm not sure.
00:04:54The video is like the video.
00:04:55And 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.
00:05:25Ah!
00:05:30Mop 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.
00:05:52Hi, Tom.
00:05:53No, no, no.
00:05:54Wait!
00:06:03We are through.
00:06:06To have Tucker here.
00:06:07With the right support system, we believe he can help us win a championship.
00:06:13Which is why we've selected an accountability partner for him to keep him focused on football.
00:06:23Me.
00:06:24Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:36Uh, please don't mind her.
00:06:40She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:43So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.
00:06:51I want her.
00:06:56You mean the intern?
00:07:02Excuse me?
00:07:03What do you say?
00:07:04What do you say?
00:07:05Partners.
00:07:14Hey, intern.
00:07:16Slow down.
00:07:17You can't just point at someone and make them your babysitter.
00:07:23I've always had a thing for my babysitters.
00:07:27Why me?
00:07:28I don't know.
00:07:29There was just something about you when we met before.
00:07:33So you thought I looked pathetic and felt sorry for me?
00:07:37Great.
00:07:38Nope.
00:07:39I thought you looked like someone who doesn't put up with bullshit.
00:07:42And I come with a lot of it.
00:07:43So what exactly do you expect me to do?
00:07:47Keep me out of the headlines.
00:07:49Unless the good ones.
00:07:51Let me stop you right there.
00:07:53I'm not your nanny.
00:07:55Or your emotional support human.
00:07:56Or your PR fairy godmother.
00:07:58I am a strategist.
00:08:00That means you don't speak, drink, post, or flirt sideways without my approval.
00:08:05Got it?
00:08:08You scare me a little.
00:08:09I kind of like it.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:22My job isn't to follow you around with duct tape and a fire extinguisher.
00:08:26That actually sounds pretty fun.
00:08:29I am serious.
00:08:31So am I.
00:08:33We want the same thing.
00:08:34You keep me clean, you look like a PR genius.
00:08:37Win-win.
00:08:40And if you don't?
00:08:43We both go down.
00:08:58Hello?
00:09:00Saw you on the TV.
00:09:02New job, new clothes, new name.
00:09:06And suddenly you act like we're done.
00:09:09You don't get to erase me.
00:09:12We're not finished, Samira.
00:09:15Not even close.
00:09:17Close.
00:09:22Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:27You think you're special because he picked you?
00:09:33You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:36Office clutter and oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:39You do not belong here.
00:09:41I didn't ask for this.
00:09:42Oh, honey.
00:09:44I see what you're up to.
00:09:48But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:52Bombshells and boss bitches.
00:09:55And you are neither.
00:09:57Well, maybe he's tired of that type.
00:09:59Trust me.
00:10:01He's not.
00:10:03You are just the latest rehab prop in his redemption arc.
00:10:07And you'll be gone the minute his jersey sales spike like a bad case of herpes.
00:10:12Oh my god.
00:10:13So enjoy your little Cinderella moment.
00:10:17Because when midnight strikes, I'll be the one still holding his balls.
00:10:24And you, you'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for day old Taco Bell.
00:10:31You finished?
00:10:33Oh, I am just getting started.
00:10:36Hey intern.
00:10:40I almost forgot.
00:10:42Tucky Poo.
00:10:44Hi.
00:10:45We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:51There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:54Thought you could keep me accountable.
00:11:01Thought you could wear this.
00:11:05I'm not an escort.
00:11:06I'm not.
00:11:07I know.
00:11:08More like a chaperone.
00:11:10And I need to be at my best behavior.
00:11:12She doesn't even own evening wear.
00:11:14You'll embarrass yourself.
00:11:16Not in that she won't.
00:11:17I know.
00:11:33You gonna stand there all night?
00:11:40Oh.
00:11:41Well, damn, intern.
00:11:59Remind me to pick out all your outfits from home.
00:12:04Remind yourself to check the price tag next time.
00:12:07This costs more than my student wants.
00:12:08And let's get one thing straight.
00:12:12Tonight isn't about us.
00:12:14You're here to charm, smile, and not end up on page six.
00:12:21If you're going to stare at me like that, I might start to think you like me.
00:12:30This is strictly a business.
00:12:38We're going to be late.
00:12:55Dr. Newsome, he's a locker room liability.
00:13:11He's not here to win games.
00:13:12He's here to keep TMZ in business.
00:13:14It's their job to stir the pot.
00:13:24But still, it's brutal.
00:13:28You do this long enough, and you start to believe the version of yourself of this, Ellen.
00:13:34Bad boy.
00:13:36Locker room cancer.
00:13:38Walking headline.
00:13:39If I could screw it, might as well just live up to the rep.
00:13:45And now?
00:13:46I don't know who the hell I'm trying to be, but I do know that if I mess up, it's over.
00:13:54Not just this contract.
00:13:58My career.
00:13:59You're not the only one trying to outrun a part of yourself now.
00:14:17Is that your new girlfriend, Tucker?
00:14:20Well, that's going to take a while.
00:14:24That's his intern, PR Rehab.
00:14:27Um, she won't last long.
00:14:34Good heavens, Mike, down!
00:14:39That's the commissioner's wife.
00:14:43That's why charity cases like her stayed behind the rope.
00:14:57Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:13She's clearly overwhelmed.
00:15:15She doesn't belong in these settings.
00:15:16I tried to tell you.
00:15:17Well, this is your idea, Musa.
00:15:20Fix it, or I'll pull your contract.
00:15:23I'll resign.
00:15:25She's not going anywhere.
00:15:30You said I need to handle her.
00:15:32I chose her.
00:15:34She goes, I go.
00:15:36You're seriously going to jeopardize your comeback.
00:15:42For an intern.
00:15:45What can I say?
00:15:46I thrive on chaos.
00:15:55Hey, wait up!
00:15:56We have to settle for that.
00:16:17Rivers.
00:16:20I thought you were asking me to choose.
00:16:21I thought you were asking me to choose.
00:16:21I thought you were asking me to choose.
00:16:26Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:33Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:35Leon, the hitman, the nurse?
00:16:39The linebacker who paralyzed their MVP with dirty hair.
00:16:46If he finds out, I lose this job, my future, everything.
00:16:50And I am back to waiting tables.
00:16:54Richards is my mom's maiden name.
00:16:55And I use it sometimes.
00:16:57I guess it makes me feel closer to her.
00:17:02Sure.
00:17:05Makes sense.
00:17:07As long as you're not secretly in witness protection or something.
00:17:13Can I walk you to your car?
00:17:16I, uh, forgot something.
00:17:18You go ahead.
00:17:19I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:20Hmm.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:21That's good.
00:17:22Let's see you tomorrow.
00:17:22Let's see.
00:17:23All right.
00:17:28What's up?
00:17:40Hello?
00:17:42I'm sure you're having a good practice.
00:17:42No, it's not a good practice.
00:17:43It's not a good practice.
00:17:44I'm sure it's a good practice.
00:17:45Hello?
00:17:45Oh, sorry.
00:18:07I didn't see anything.
00:18:10Okay, you can cry, or you can suck it up and pretend you still have a career.
00:18:15And your dignity.
00:18:17Yes, you practically saw my credit score.
00:18:23Uh, how long?
00:18:26It's just, uh, I got kicked out of my house.
00:18:36Yeah. Pack your things.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40You moving in. With me.
00:18:43Tucker, 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.
00:18:51It's more like a haunted boiler room.
00:18:55I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:18:59It's not bidding. It's just practical.
00:19:02You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in a tea locker room.
00:19:07Uh.
00:19:08Wow.
00:19:09It's good.
00:19:10Your room is down the hall. First door on the left. Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in the fridge labeled to you.
00:19:28TN. That means it's mine. Thanks. I can spell. Then we're gonna get along great. Rumi.
00:19:58Oh, Jesus. Sorry. I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:06It's my house. You're the one sneaking around like him.
00:20:12I wasn't sneaking. I was... hydrating.
00:20:18You could really use some better snacks. Take the cabinets.
00:20:30I wasn't staring, by the way. I never said you were. Good. Because I wasn't.
00:20:38Still not staring?
00:20:48Uh, you're leaking. Sweat, you're, uh, it's distracting.
00:20:56I'll try to be less distracting.
00:21:00Look. If we're gonna live together, we should probably set some ground rules.
00:21:10Was I a bad boy?
00:21:12Rule one. Shirts.
00:21:18I feel targeted.
00:21:20Rule two. No flirting.
00:21:24Okay. So, shirts are mandatory. No flirting. Anything else?
00:21:32I need this job.
00:21:34I 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.
00:21:50Okay.
00:21:52I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:56I believe you.
00:22:14I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:22:16Good night.
00:22:22Well, if it isn't PowerPoint Barbie.
00:22:36How is our resident accountability partner, or wait, is it, um, handler with benefits?
00:22:44Aw.
00:22:46I mean, don't feel bad.
00:22:48We all play our cards.
00:22:50Some guys cheer from the sidelines.
00:22:52Others just, um, on the bench.
00:22:56Just doing my part to disinfect the desperation.
00:22:58Skank.
00:23:00Skank.
00:23:02I'm on the bench.
00:23:04Just doing my part to disinfect the desperation.
00:23:08Skank.
00:23:10I'm on the bench.
00:23:12Hoop!
00:23:18You good?
00:23:20You good?
00:23:37You so much is breathe running her direction again.
00:23:40The only person you're going to be doing PR for on this team is the mascot.
00:23:43You can't possibly be taking her side.
00:23:46You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:23:48Save it, Jules.
00:23:49The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:23:55This isn't over.
00:24:00What are you waiting for?
00:24:02Go!
00:24:04Walk!
00:24:15Let's get you changed out of that shirt.
00:24:17What are you doing?
00:24:35Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:36Bean.
00:24:55Bean.
00:24:55Bean.
00:24:56Bean.
00:24:56Bean.
00:24:57Bean.
00:24:57I can fight my own battles.
00:25:26I know.
00:25:27But sometimes it's nice to know you don't have to.
00:25:31Well, thanks.
00:25:38You, uh, you wear that dangerously well.
00:25:44Careful.
00:25:47You're getting awfully close to flirty.
00:25:51I thought that was against the rules.
00:25:54It is.
00:25:55Here's the room in five.
00:26:10Cold tub's on deck.
00:26:14Guess that's our cue.
00:26:16Yeah.
00:26:18Guess so.
00:26:18Pack your bags.
00:26:36Excuse me?
00:26:37We've got a game in Vegas.
00:26:38Sunday.
00:26:39Team plan leads in an hour.
00:26:41I need you with me.
00:26:43Vegas?
00:26:44To the city.
00:26:45Neon.
00:26:46Nightclubs.
00:26:47A variable tattoos.
00:26:48If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:26:52I 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.
00:27:31I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:27:34Okay.
00:27:35I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:27:38Some 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.
00:28:08I'm ordering room service.
00:28:12You are getting hot tea and a 9 p.m. bedtime.
00:28:16And what if I misbehave?
00:28:17Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:19And not the new offering.
00:28:35What?
00:28:38You just accomplished something.
00:28:43Oh.
00:29:01What is it?
00:29:03Just the guys checking in.
00:29:05You should probably get some sleep.
00:29:08The 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, keeping watch on me?
00:29:20I know if I have to.
00:29:23Suit yourself.
00:29:24Oh.
00:29:29Just so you know.
00:29:36This is how I sleep.
00:29:37Since you're both just get used to it.
00:29:38Great.
00:29:39Now I have to sleep in the same room as his house.
00:29:48Great.
00:29:48Now I have to sleep in the same room as his house.
00:29:51I could get used to waking up like this.
00:30:04I 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.
00:30:30So.
00:30:32That was a fun single.
00:30:34You slept.
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:37It won't happen again.
00:30:54There's a breakfast buffet.
00:30:56Heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:30:58You'd eat drywall if it had enough protein in it.
00:31:03Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid profile.
00:31:09Samira.
00:31:10Didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:31:14Eli, what are you doing here?
00:31:17Who are you?
00:31:19I'm her ex.
00:31:24Hmm.
00:31:25Oh no.
00:31:29If 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?
00:31:45I'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.
00:31:55Not at all.
00:31:56And I'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 catchers balls.
00:32:12Okay boys.
00:32:13I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:32:19We should get something.
00:32:20You know, honestly, I'm surprised that you mentioned the building with your last name.
00:32:25Your ex, always like that?
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42He's a huge asshole.
00:32:44And what did he mean?
00:32:46What about your last name?
00:32:48Team Bus departs in 15.
00:32:59We've got a game in a few hours.
00:33:01You need to stay focused.
00:33:03No distractions.
00:33:04There you go again.
00:33:06Always trying to control the story.
00:33:07That is literally my job.
00:33:20The club's already hopping.
00:33:21Going out?
00:33:31Ah.
00:33:33Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:36Nothing crazy.
00:33:37You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:33:45I don't think so.
00:33:46I'm coming.
00:33:49You want to keep an eye on me or you just don't want to miss out on some fun?
00:33:58I'm not here to have fun.
00:34:03We'll see about that.
00:34:05Ender.
00:34:05Tried not to get recognition as everybody, babe?
00:34:27No promises.
00:34:28Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:30Brazor.
00:34:32You dance or would that be too much fun?
00:34:34Depends.
00:34:36Are you going to try something stupid?
00:34:38Almost definitely.
00:34:39Tucker Newsom!
00:34:44Tucker Newsom!
00:34:48Can I have your autograph?
00:34:56Dr. Newsome, can I have your autograph?
00:34:59Give me two seconds.
00:35:01You'll be right back.
00:35:08You with the tight end?
00:35:10I'm good, thanks.
00:35:12That's not what I asked.
00:35:14I said I'm good.
00:35:17Hey, come on.
00:35:18Don't be like that.
00:35:20I'd like to see your tight end.
00:35:26What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:35:42Hitting a woman, not cool.
00:35:45What the hell?
00:35:46I'm gonna have to call unnecessary roughness on that play.
00:35:49Apologize to her.
00:35:50Screw you!
00:35:52One, two.
00:35:56You okay?
00:36:01Hey!
00:36:02Here's where I can see them.
00:36:05Yeah.
00:36:06And that is what you call assault.
00:36:09You got it, McKinney.
00:36:11It was self-defense.
00:36:13Now!
00:36:20Wait.
00:36:21Don't I know you?
00:36:23You bailed your old man out of this slammer.
00:36:25Like father, like daughter.
00:36:27Samira.
00:36:28What is he talking about?
00:36:30The linebacker who paralyzed there.
00:36:36MVP with a dirty head.
00:36:39Like father, like daughter.
00:36:41Yeah, your dad had a bit of a temper.
00:36:43He had a road rage incident.
00:36:45Some guy cut him off and he completely lost it.
00:36:46We've all been there.
00:36:47Usually I at least make it to the second day before I live in jail.
00:36:50This is not a date.
00:36:51It would be a pretty good story to tell a kid stuff at once.
00:36:52Video gets out of this.
00:36:53I'm finished.
00:36:54It would be a pretty good story to tell a kid stuff at once.
00:36:58Video gets out of this.
00:36:59I'm finished.
00:37:00I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:37:01It'll come out somewhere.
00:37:02Good.
00:37:03People will see what you're doing now.
00:37:04See?
00:37:05I like the help of the whole thing.
00:37:06Oh, that's a good point.
00:37:07I'm done.

00:37:25I'm done.
00:37:26I'm done.
00:37:27People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:37:32Do you think I'm a lost cause?
00:37:34No.
00:37:36I think you're used to people treating you like one.
00:37:40So you act like you are.
00:37:51Sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:37:55You did it.
00:37:56I 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.
00:38:23You, on the other hand, can enjoy your complimentary night in the slammer.
00:38:29You're not even under contract with the team.
00:38:37I mean, you're an intern.
00:38:38Now, you're a liability.
00:38:41HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:45Spoiler alert.
00:38:46You're fired.
00:38:47She 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...
00:38:58Okay.
00:38:59Then I stay too.
00:39:01Excuse 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.
00:39:22Fine.
00:39:24Have it your way.
00:39:25But just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:45Ah.
00:39:47Well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:39:51I still feel like I smoked up any of those bad decisions.
00:39:57That jail cell, that was worse than the team locker room after two-a-days in the dead of August.
00:40:05Ugh.
00:40:07When we get home, I need a shower.
00:40:09Like, an exorcism-level shower.

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

01:20:34I could turn back time!
