Short filmTranscript
00:00Listen, today's a big show because I'm ready to call it.
00:03Someone take Coach W to the vet and euthanize him.
00:07He's lived a good life, but it's time.
00:10Dude, you're calling it?
00:11He's done.
00:12And I don't say this lightly.
00:13I mean, we are talking about Coach Russell Willoughby.
00:17This man has how many NBA titles?
00:19A lot of NBA titles.
00:20That's true.
00:21A legend.
00:22And if my dude had just stayed retired, that'd be the end of it.
00:25But at age 106, he decides to coach college.
00:28He's 74, but continue.
00:30I'm like, okay, interesting.
00:32St. Ivan's has sucked lately.
00:34Maybe he builds the program back into what it was.
00:36Boy, was that a bad bet.
00:38Okay, hang on.
00:39They've lost three games.
00:40It takes years to rebuild, bro.
00:43Dude, I'm not talking about the record.
00:44You know what I'm talking about.
00:46Clearly, basketball is like the last thing on this man's mind right now.
00:50You're acting like we don't know exactly who to blame.
00:53Dude, I feel like if I mention her name, she'll put a hex on my ding-dong.
00:56She's not Voldemort, man.
00:58She might be.
00:59We're talking about the biggest story in sports right now.
01:02Don't say her name.
01:03Peyton Ramsey.
01:04I said it.
01:05Well, now she's going to hex you a ding-dong.
01:07Good thing you never use it.
01:09Hey, speaking of that, today's podcast is brought to you by Shape & Scape.
01:13Fellas, you know how bad it hurts when you're using clippers down there and you catch a bit of script.
01:17Have you listened yet?
01:23Hey, beautiful.
01:25Listen to what?
01:26Mwah.
01:28We can't let these guys keep talking about us like this.
01:31You know my media policy.
01:32Peyton, just tune it out.
01:34Focus on the fundamentals.
01:36These guys have millions of followers, okay?
01:38And by the way, they're still quoting inside sources, which means that your players are still DMing them.
01:44Ah, what?
01:45I told you that I don't know what DMing means.
01:49Anyway, listen.
01:50Oh.
01:51Pey, come on.
01:52Deep breath, okay?
01:54I will reiterate our media policy at the next team practice.
01:59Also, I had some thoughts about some of the guys' socials, but I don't want to overstep.
02:04No, no, no.
02:04I think it's a great idea.
02:05I'm sure that the guys would appreciate your advice.
02:08Thank you, babe.
02:09Thank you, thank you, thank you.
02:10Mm.
02:10Mm.
02:11See you in a bit.
02:31Hey, Peyton.
02:32You need to delete your ex account.
02:34I don't think I have one of those.
02:36It's what they call Twitter now.
02:37And your old profile still has posts of 15-year-old Marcus saying,
02:41Do you think they spell it boobs because the two O's look like boobs?
02:48No.
02:49Just found out no school because it's Yom Kippur.
02:53Hope all you Jews out partying and getting laid.
02:57Yeah, what's wrong with that?
02:58Yom Kippur is a day of atonement.
03:00No offense, but why do you care?
03:02Because I manage Coach W's personal brand now, so if one of his players posts something
03:06offensive, then it's bad for his brand.
03:09Now, if you don't want to take my advice, then maybe he rethinks tomorrow's starting five
03:12and we go from there.
03:15Hey, Dave.
03:16Marcus, could you give us a minute?
03:22Okay.
03:26I'm going to be very clear.
03:29You need to stop what you're doing here.
03:31What?
03:31Why?
03:32No, let's don't make a big thing out of this, okay?
03:34We both know that you've taken advantage of Coach's affection for you to adopt a role
03:40that's completely inappropriate to your age and your experience and that your presence
03:44here has become a distraction.
03:46You find me distracting?
03:48Creep.
03:50When I recruited Coach W to St. Ivins, it was the greatest moment of my career.
03:54Or it should have been.
03:56But you ruined it.
03:59You ruined him.
04:00Why?
04:00Because I finally got him to do something about his eyebrows?
04:03You turned a legend into a sad, pathetic loser posing for selfies, doing sandwich commercials.
04:09You single-handedly destroyed a great man's legacy.
04:12The best thing you could do would be to lose his number.
04:14But I can't make you do that.
04:18So I'm doing the one thing I can do.
04:21I'm banning you from the premises.
04:22And what does Russell think about that?
04:28If you really care about him, you'll go quietly.
04:29I'm calling.
04:30I'm calling.
04:34Okay.
04:35Okay.
04:37Well, until you get the balls to tell Russell that you think he's a...
04:40Sorry, what was it again you called him?
04:43Right.
04:44A sad, pathetic loser.
04:46I won't be seeing you around, Dave.
04:48Aiden, if he sticks with you, he'll be gone before long, too.
04:51So you tell me.
04:52If you think he'll choose you over his career.
04:56Fellas.
05:13It's not just that she's hot.
05:15Coach W is rich and famous.
05:17There's hotter girls he could pull, and they wouldn't try to do his job for him, either.
05:21I think she's got some kind of blackmail on him.
05:23I do.
05:24I'm telling you, dude.
05:25She's a witch.
05:27Oh, yeah.
05:27She's definitely a witch, dude.
05:36Jeez, he's scared.
05:48It's late.
05:49Why are you still awake?
05:50Ah, I couldn't sleep.
05:52Just watching tape.
05:55You okay?
05:59We're good.
06:01You do your job, and you let me do mine.
06:03I'm just saying, if I were with some old, rich guy, I don't think I'd be able to, like,
06:12coach his team for him.
06:13She's kind of impressive.
06:14But, babe, his team keeps losing.
06:17Oh, I think I'm going to pee my pants.
06:19Oh, we're seven blocks from the dorm.
06:21No, I can't make it that far.
06:23I'm going to win.
06:24Okay, okay, just go over there.
06:26Where?
06:27In that alley.
06:28No, thanks.
06:28I'm trying to get murdered.
06:29Babe, do you want a UTI?
06:32I'll keep lookout.
06:33Well, fine.
06:34Okay.
06:34Hey, Elizabeth, watch where you're going.
06:58Sorry, Captain.
06:59I was on my phone.
07:00Oh, Meryl Canada's mysterious redhead identified.
07:03Uh-oh.
07:04Someone finally named you?
07:05Yeah, New York Confidential.
07:07They do celebrity gossip.
07:08I guess that makes you a celebrity?
07:10Hardly.
07:10They spelled my name wrong.
07:12L's-peth with a P.
07:14Yeah.
07:14It's actually the more common variant.
07:16Are any of them common?
07:18Just email them with a correction.
07:20Oh, no.
07:21I wouldn't bother.
07:22Besides, who cares, right?
07:25Certainly not me.
07:27This is Detective Taylor.
07:28Just transferred from the 15th.
07:30This is closer to my kid's preschool.
07:31Cute.
07:32Detective Taylor, where are we?
07:33We've got a positive ID.
07:34Dave Coppins.
07:35He's the athletic director.
07:36Cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.
07:38What's this about?
07:39Two St. Ivan students found a body on the street
07:42near campus last night.
07:44I'm headed there now, Captain.
07:45Good.
07:45The administration is going to want to wrap this up quick.
07:48Oh, sounds like an important case for the NYPD to get right.
07:51Maybe I should tag along?
07:53You like college sports?
07:54No, no.
07:55But I had a roommate who was on the softball team.
07:58I think she stole my Wham album.
08:04We've probably got it handled.
08:06Bring L's-beth along, just in case.
08:08Oh.
08:09You're L's-beth.
08:10With a B.
08:11Like Liza.
08:12What?
08:13Liza with a Z.
08:15Sorry.
08:16I played sports.
08:24None of this was here in my day.
08:26You went to St. Ivan's?
08:27Class of 2012.
08:29Field hockey.
08:29Cool.
08:30We're very grateful to our donors.
08:32Any working theories, detective?
08:34I'm still in shock.
08:35It appears he died of severe blunt force trauma to the head.
08:38Body had signs of exposure, frostbite, women's urine, but we accounted for that last part.
08:43Frostbite?
08:44No wallet or phone.
08:45Maybe a random mugging.
08:47It's still early.
08:48Ooh.
08:49Is that, uh...
08:50Is that your school's mascot?
08:52It is.
08:53The St. Ivan's thing.
08:55We call him thingy.
08:57What is it?
08:57When they replaced the old mascot, they let the student body vote on the new one.
09:02Huh.
09:03Of course, the students turned it into a joke.
09:07What was the old mascot?
09:09You don't want to know.
09:11I really do.
09:13Dave liked to lift weights after work.
09:16May we take a look?
09:18Sure thing, detective.
09:19Ooh, found it.
09:20Oh, no, that is not okay.
09:31Dave usually worked out here late when he wouldn't be in any of the players' way.
09:35Our facilities are state-of-the-art.
09:37I'll say.
09:38Ooh.
09:40Stuff.
09:42Uh, excuse me.
09:44Oh, that's okay.
09:46Interesting.
09:47Ma'am, you can't just take people's things.
09:50Criminal justice.
09:52That was my major when I was here.
09:55Oh, cool.
09:56Mine, too.
09:57You're Jason Roberts.
09:58My wife and kid love you, by the way.
10:02We have season tickets.
10:03Nice, nice.
10:05Who, uh, are you?
10:07This is Detective Taylor with the NYPD.
10:11Dave Coppins was found murdered on the street last night.
10:14There's going to be an announcement.
10:15Detective, your associate...
10:17Murdered?
10:18Holy...
10:19Uh, wait, do they know who did it?
10:22Why do you?
10:29Something I need to know?
10:32Ma'am, excuse me.
10:34Uh, we really prefer you not touch the equipment.
10:36It's right.
10:37State of the art.
10:38Also, it's about to be evidence.
10:40Why?
10:41What do you mean?
10:41Detective, if I could just...
10:43Who's that?
10:45That's Coach Willoughby.
10:47Oh.
10:47And that's his daughter?
10:49No.
10:50Oh.
10:52Oh.
10:53Uh, Detective, I found something that you might want to see.
10:56Coach W.
10:57Who's asking?
10:58Detective Nina Taylor, NYPD.
10:59We found the body of Dave Coppins murdered about a block from here last night.
11:06It's karma.
11:07Amanda's dead, Miss Ramsey.
11:09You know my name.
11:10I follow the team.
11:11You loom pretty large these days.
11:13Detective.
11:14Detective.
11:15Ooh, I love your nail polish.
11:17Is that chartreuse?
11:19No.
11:20Huh.
11:20It sucks that he got killed, but I'm not going to act like I'm going to miss him.
11:24I heard you two had a big fight yesterday.
11:26You didn't tell me about that.
11:28Detective.
11:28Got an alibi.
11:29I do, but my alibi is none of your business.
11:31Detective.
11:31What?
11:32Oh!
11:32Wow.
11:33You scared me.
11:34Um, you need to see this.
11:38I found the victim's school ID badge in this cubby right here.
11:43But if he left for the night, why wouldn't you take this with him, unless he didn't leave
11:50for the night?
11:52I don't follow.
11:53Well, I remember that you told me we have frostbite, which is strange, because when I
11:59walked Gonzo last night, it wasn't that cold.
12:02It doesn't have to be that cold if you're out for a long time.
12:05Can you get to the point?
12:06Oh, yes.
12:07Uh, this is an ice therapy bath.
12:11Very cold.
12:12And, look at this.
12:16What am I looking at?
12:17Blood.
12:18I mean, not much.
12:19Maybe Dave was killed in the ice bath, and then when the killer cleaned up the mess, they
12:24missed a spot.
12:25I mean, it's hard to see against the school colors.
12:28There are a lot of heavy objects around here you could use to kill someone.
12:32Exactly.
12:33Maybe the killer dressed the body and then moved it across the street to make it look
12:41like a robbery.
12:42Okay.
12:43I'm calling this in so we can process it as a crime scene, and then I'm going to bring
12:47Peyton in for questioning.
12:48Wait.
12:49Uh, the coach's young friend?
12:51Yeah.
12:52She had a fight with the victim.
12:53She's got no alibi, and she has access to the facilities for some reason.
12:57But how does such a tiny little woman move that big body all by herself?
13:10I'm sure we'll figure it out.
13:11All right.
13:31You want to tell me what I'm looking at here, Lieutenant?
13:33Those are the results of the department's internal cybersecurity stress test.
13:37I wanted to give you a heads up because they identified several weak spots, including,
13:43well, you.
13:46Excuse me?
13:47All department employees received an email containing a link to an unsecured website
13:51duped to look like the NYPD's login page.
13:53Yeah.
13:54I remember this email.
13:56Why won't they ever just let us use an old password?
13:59I don't know.
14:01But it was a phishing test, and you handed over your credentials two minutes after the email
14:05went out.
14:06Let me get this straight.
14:08You played a trick on me?
14:09Not a trick.
14:10A cybersecurity stress test.
14:13Well, it sounds like police entrapment to me.
14:15Sir, I recognize you have some anxiety around technology.
14:18No, I have some anxiety around whether or not my own people are looking to make a fool of
14:22me.
14:23Sir, departments have lost millions of dollars to ransomware hackers using these methods.
14:28You put the department at risk.
14:30Oh, no, I didn't.
14:31Because there were no real hackers.
14:33There was just you.
14:33All you need to do is pass a simple, quick remedial retreat.
14:38Say remedial one more time.
14:39I'll find out what happens.
14:41Captain?
14:43Is she here?
14:48This isn't over.
14:54Several players overheard Dave say you were banned from the facilities.
14:58And yet you were back this morning.
14:59Almost like you knew Dave wouldn't be a problem.
15:03No, I did know that.
15:05Because he didn't have the balls to tell Russell how he felt.
15:08We're sending a team to your home with a warrant.
15:11We're going to comb through everything.
15:12Your clothes.
15:13Your shampoo.
15:14If one speck of Dave's blood turns out, you're done.
15:17If there's anything we should know, you can save everyone a lot of trouble if you tell us now.
15:23Or I could hire a lawyer.
15:25Huh?
15:25Do you think I'm stupid?
15:27If you're this dead set on pinning this on me, then I'm not talking to either one of you guys.
15:33And I want a lawyer.
15:34I still don't understand how someone as petite as Peyton could have moved Dave's frozen body all the way out to the street.
15:46Did you see her manicure?
15:48Flawless.
15:49What does that have to do with it?
15:50Well, don't you think she would have at least chipped a nail?
15:52Maybe she had an accomplice.
15:54Or a good gel manicure.
15:55Yeah, good point.
15:56Have you looked into Coach Willoughby?
15:58I'll check his alibi, but eh.
16:00He didn't know about Peyton's fight with Dave.
16:02She didn't tell him, and neither did any of the players who heard it.
16:06Plus...
16:06What?
16:08He doesn't seem up to it.
16:10I was excited when they announced the hire, but it's sad seeing him like this.
16:14He should have stayed retired.
16:16That seems a little harsh.
16:17They've only played three games.
16:19It's not his record.
16:20It's the way he's letting this woman embarrass him.
16:23He looks ridiculous.
16:25Trust me.
16:26She's the one calling the shots.
16:27Are you sure you're not letting your fandom cloud your judgment?
16:30Oh, come on.
16:31She's a nightmare.
16:33Exactly.
16:34What?
16:35It's not how you would behave if you needed to keep a low profile.
16:39That's your defense?
16:39She's acting too guilty?
16:41Yes.
16:42Well put.
16:43Okay, Counselor.
16:44If your girl didn't do it, why doesn't she just tell us her alibi?
16:48Good question.
16:49I don't know.
16:50Well, if you want to clear this woman, Elspeth,
16:52you need to find out what she was doing the night of the murder.
16:54Come with me.
17:02Summerville?
17:04Captain?
17:05Ms. Tassione?
17:07Elspeth needs your help chasing something down.
17:09Of course, sir.
17:11I thank you for the opportunity.
17:12I won't let you down.
17:13Okay, calm down.
17:14What's a cyber security retraining module?
17:17Oh, it's embarrassing.
17:20I failed the department phishing test.
17:22You?
17:23But you're so youthful.
17:25Oh, I love those phishing tests.
17:28They're like a game.
17:29They're like Wordle.
17:30Only easier.
17:31I mean, they haven't tricked me yet,
17:33but it's fun to see all the ways they try.
17:40That night, I was in Coach's office.
17:43We were watching some tape.
17:44Great.
17:45That's exactly what he said.
17:46Mm.
17:47Hey, between us, what do you make of his girlfriend?
17:50Oh, Peyton?
17:52Uh, I don't know.
17:53I mean, kind of weird, I guess.
17:55She's, like, super young.
17:57He's, like, super old.
17:59She must be a real distraction.
18:00Not really.
18:03I mean, the media makes it seem like it's this big thing,
18:06but honestly, she's giving me some good tips
18:08on monetizing my socials, yo.
18:10Mm.
18:11That's positive.
18:13Yeah, and, like, I was all nervous when Coach got hired
18:15because he used to, like, be famous for throwing balls
18:18at players at practice and stuff.
18:20Actually, he's been super chill.
18:22So maybe he just need to get laid.
18:25Hey, is there, like, a reason you were interviewing everybody
18:28on the court?
18:29Oh, no.
18:29Oh, honestly, this is just a real dream for me.
18:33Oh, bro, in that case, let me put one up in your honor.
18:42Can we take a selfie for my kid?
18:44Yeah, yo, gotta get back.
18:45What up, kid?
18:50Ugh.
18:51I don't believe this.
18:52What's that, man?
18:53Another website just spelled it wrong.
18:56Mysterious Red Hat E-L-S-P-E-T-H.
18:59They're just copy-pasting the New York Confidential.
19:02Is my son the last fact-checker working in all of journalism?
19:07Is that, like, a job people used to have?
19:09Oh, here we go.
19:11Is that your sports club?
19:13My fantasy league, yeah.
19:13One of my guys might actually have something.
19:16Okay, here, pull up this morning's episode of the Steve Trey Show.
19:18Okay, what's that?
19:19Uh, sports radio guy.
19:21Okay, he says start at two hours and 13 minutes.
19:23The show is longer than two hours?
19:26And people like that?
19:28Well, if you're joining us, it looks like Peyton Ramsey may not just be an evil succubus.
19:33She may also be a murderer, allegedly.
19:36Uh, Big Lou from Queen, drawn with Steve Trey.
19:39Now, in your opinion, did Peyton Ramsey murder the St. Ivins athletic director?
19:44I'm gonna have to say no, Steve.
19:46No?
19:47Well, you're in the minority here, Big Lou.
19:49Make a case.
19:49I drive a cab for a living, and last night, I swear to God, I took Peyton Ramsey all the way out to Long Island.
19:57No way she was anywhere near that murder when it went down.
20:00Lou, can you verify this?
20:02Nah, she paid cash, but I know it was her, and may I say that is a fine set of...
20:08Okay, that's enough.
20:11Wow, if only we're always that easy.
20:14So, worth checking out, huh?
20:16With all due respect to Big Lou, it must have been a lookalike.
20:19Why?
20:20Just in from the lab.
20:21They identified some smudges found on Dave's tracksuit.
20:24It was L-Mem's August Wind shade of concealer.
20:27Guess what shade of cover-up we found at Peyton's house.
20:30September breeze?
20:32We're bringing her in.
20:33What happened to your lawyer?
20:46He was an idiot.
20:48And I didn't murder anyone, so why would I pay some overpriced lobotomite for his crap advice?
20:53Great.
20:54Well, then you can explain to me how your makeup was found on the sweats Dave was wearing when they found his body.
20:59It doesn't feel like my job.
21:02Maybe he brushed up on me that day.
21:04I...
21:04He was a creep.
21:06The makeup was under his armpits.
21:08Like you had it on your hands when you were lifting the body.
21:11Well, then someone is framing me.
21:14I still don't think this is enough to charge her.
21:21The killer might just wear the same shade of makeup as Peyton.
21:25L-Mem makes over 150 specific shades of concealer.
21:28That would be quite the coincidence.
21:29Where are we on that alibi?
21:31Well, Captain, we are not nowhere, but we are also not somewhere.
21:37So that leaves you where?
21:38Exactly.
21:39Well, let's hold her 24 hours.
21:41Elsbeth, you're running out of time.
21:46Even if Coach weren't all horned up, he'd be struggling.
21:50I mean, college is a completely different skill set from the pros.
21:53Yeah.
21:53It's all about recruiting.
21:55And with all this NIL stuff now going on.
21:57Right.
21:58And that is all very interesting.
21:59But again, the question that I asked about 20 miles back,
22:03how did you know it was Peyton in your cab the night of the murder?
22:07Did you speak with her?
22:08Oh, I tried.
22:09Yeah.
22:09There we go.
22:11Because if she's the one really coaching the team,
22:14then boy, do I have some advice for her.
22:16Mm.
22:16I mean, some of these offensive sets that they're running,
22:19way too much pick and roll.
22:20You know, you can't expect these young kids to figure it out all by themselves.
22:23Totally.
22:24Yeah.
22:24Yes, and I really want to hear more about that.
22:27But when you said you tried...
22:29She said if I didn't quit yapping, she wouldn't tip.
22:32That does sound like her.
22:34Yeah, because it was her.
22:35Anyway, what I would have told her is that they got to go back to the flex offense
22:40that got them the championship in the 90s.
22:42Absolutely.
22:43Because in the 90s, it came around as a beautiful game, right?
22:45If I could just...
22:45And there we go.
22:47And you said that she said to drop her at this house.
22:51That's the one.
22:51Yeah.
22:52Do you need a ride back?
22:53Because I can wait.
22:55You know what, Lou?
22:56I think I'll take the train.
22:58Okay.
23:07Lieutenant.
23:09You're looking at the freshly minted graduate of NYPD's remedial cybersecurity refresher training
23:14online module.
23:15Congratulations, Captain.
23:16I hope you'll take these cybersecurity issues more seriously going forward.
23:20Oh, no.
23:27No cash?
23:28No, no.
23:28I've got some right...
23:29Oh, well, consider this a gesture of goodwill.
23:36No worries about the entrapment business.
23:38It was an internal stress test.
23:41Never mind.
23:47Hang on, Peg.
23:53Someone's at my door.
23:54Hi.
23:54I said no contact delivery.
23:56You could just leave it on the doorstep.
23:58Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
23:59Sorry.
24:00I'm Elsbeth Tassioni.
24:02With a B.
24:04And I am with the police.
24:05Uh, sort of.
24:06What does sort of mean?
24:07This woman says she's with the police department.
24:09She's dressed like a sour patch kid.
24:11I'm so sorry to bother you, but do you know this woman?
24:14Hang on, Peg.
24:16No.
24:17Never seen her.
24:17Really?
24:18She didn't come and visit you the other night?
24:20Or someone who looks like her, maybe?
24:22No.
24:23Listen, I gotta go.
24:25No, Peg, not you.
24:26Um, so sorry.
24:28Is there anyone else who lives here?
24:30Maybe.
24:30No.
24:31Okay.
24:31Good luck.
24:32Have a good day.
24:37Rats.
24:40Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:41Strange.
24:42Strange.
24:42Strange.
24:43Strange.
24:43Strange.
24:44Strange.
24:45I know where you were the night of the murder.
25:00Cool.
25:01Me too.
25:02Do you think that if I order sushi to the precinct, they'll bring it back to me?
25:06I don't, but I do think that while someone was murdering Dave Coppins, you were meeting
25:11with a potential recruit.
25:13Oliver Ashford of John Adams Junior High School.
25:15Whew, that is one tall 14-year-old.
25:18Is that where Oliver said I was?
25:19He wouldn't give you up, but by the way, eighth grade seems very premature for college recruiting.
25:26You don't think he's talking to every program in the country right now?
25:29Well, if everyone is doing it, then why won't you tell the truth?
25:31Because when I do it, it's an international scandal.
25:37Why do you think people react so negatively to you?
25:43It seems like you're just trying to help.
25:45People act like it's the age difference between me and Russ, but really I just think they're
25:49miserable, lonely losers who hate to see two people who are actually happy.
25:53Right.
25:57Have you ever tried approaching people in a less conflict-forward manner?
26:04And do what? Act quirky and naive so people find me less threatening?
26:08Is that what you think I'm doing?
26:10Maybe it's generational.
26:12But I do think it's a little sad that you feel like you have to do all of that to be taken seriously.
26:17Me, I'm just not going to apologize for being direct.
26:21And how's that working out for you?
26:23You're not going to get me to tell you where I was that night.
26:27Besides it being illegal, it would ruin Russ's reputation.
26:31No one would believe that he didn't know and it would be tape gate all over again.
26:37Tape gate.
26:38Big Lou used that word too.
26:39What's tape gate?
26:40So, when Russ was coaching the NBA, the visiting team found a wiretap in their locker room.
26:46It was the assistant coach and he swore that Russ didn't know, but Russ's haters just couldn't
26:52accept that.
26:53You know, when you win, as much as Russ does, people just want to take you down.
26:57A bugging device.
26:59Interesting.
27:00Are you sure I can't order the sushi?
27:02Uh, no need.
27:03You're, uh, you're free to go.
27:04What?
27:05Yeah, you might not want to admit it, but I convinced them that you were in Long Island,
27:09so they're not pressing charges.
27:11Right now.
27:12Feels like you could have opened with that.
27:15Where are you going?
27:17Are you gonna call someone to tell them to let me out?
27:20Hello?
27:25Elspeth, what's going on?
27:26What are we doing here?
27:27Shh.
27:30Uh, remember?
27:32We asked some of the players to meet us here.
27:36To, you know, sign some autographs for your son.
27:40Right.
27:41I remember.
27:42Really?
27:43That would be amazing.
27:44Oh no, I'm improvising.
27:47Okay, what kind of autographs are we looking for?
27:51Well, uh, I'm not sure yet, but, um, we'll know them when we see them.
27:57Well, will we be looking for them long, do you anticipate?
28:01Uh, hopefully.
28:11Not long at all.
28:17You should wear the new bomber I got you, babe.
28:27Hmm.
28:28Whatever you say.
28:29I'm just glad that those police have stopped harassing you.
28:33Right?
28:34I mean, we've had this resi for, like, months.
28:36Yeah, but I don't understand how they can keep holding you without any evidence.
28:39I told you.
28:40It doesn't matter.
28:41Yeah.
28:42No.
28:43You just focus on the job and I'll do.
28:46What are you doing?
28:48Oh, uh, this?
28:49No, no.
28:50It's stupid.
28:51Sorry.
28:52I just, when we were doing that photo shoot, I thought that you were looking at my age spot.
28:58So I thought I'd borrow this from you for a little while.
29:01Hmm.
29:02So you've been wearing my concealer since when?
29:05Uh, uh.
29:06Since, since last week?
29:07Yeah, I know.
29:09It's, it's vain.
29:11I didn't think you'd mind.
29:13It's cute.
29:15Well, what can I tell you?
29:17You make me do crazy things.
29:27Why would he bug his own player's locker room?
29:30We're guessing he instilled The Wire because he wanted to know which players were talking about him and Peyton to the media.
29:35He could've listened to the tapes late that night and heard Dave insulting him.
29:40Big Lou told me all about Coach's old rage issues.
29:44Who's Big Lou?
29:45Don't ask.
29:46Maybe he saw Dave in that ice bath and, ugh, he got so angry!
29:50Just one problem.
29:51Coach was watching tape all evening with one of his players, Xavier Dunlap.
29:55The kid confirmed it.
29:56Sounds like we have to go back and kick the tires on this alibi.
29:58On it!
29:59Will do.
30:06Oh no, did you lose something, Lieutenant?
30:08What?
30:09No.
30:12Hey, Elizabeth with a B.
30:15Nice hustle.
30:23Coach?
30:25Coach?
30:26Is that that police lawyer?
30:27Coach?
30:28Whoa.
30:29Oh my gosh!
30:30Let me handle her.
30:32Whew, I'm winded.
30:33Um, you two are very fast walkers.
30:36Yes, well, we have places to be.
30:38Right, I'm sorry.
30:39Um, I'm just, um, following up on...
30:42Oh, by the way, do either of you know any good orthopedists?
30:46Because my knees are, um, sorry, uh, following up on Dave's murder.
30:52Uh, don't worry, I know both of your alibis.
30:55Oh, by the way, Coach, I've been watching a bit of game tape myself.
31:01It is so exciting!
31:03Squeak!
31:04Squeak!
31:05Squeak!
31:06Squeak!
31:07Do-do-do!
31:08Foo!
31:09Ah!
31:10Swish!
31:11All that stuff.
31:12What game were you and Xavier looking at?
31:15No, no.
31:16Russell watches so much tape, like you can't have...
31:18It's okay.
31:19I was looking at a cut-up of last week's practice.
31:21So, if that's all you need to know, I've got a lot to do.
31:25Oh, right, I'm sorry.
31:29Good luck, Coach!
31:36What are you doing here, Elspeth?
31:38Well, in the interest of being direct, I'm wondering how much you trust your boyfriend's alibi.
31:42No.
31:43Mm-mm.
31:44Husband, no.
31:45Sweet!
31:46Leo!
31:47What a rock!
31:48When did this happen?
31:50We got the idea at dinner last night, and we just couldn't let it go.
31:53Oh.
31:54What better way to silence the haters?
31:56We just got back from City Hall.
31:58Congratulations.
31:59It's so romantic.
32:01And it must be such a relief to have that financial security in case anything should happen to him.
32:07I don't know what you're implying, and as much as I would love to stand here and answer all of your invasive questions, that would be violating my spousal privilege.
32:14Actually, spousal privilege only applies in court testimony, but I guess you fired your lawyer.
32:20Ms. Tassioni.
32:21Hi.
32:22Hi.
32:23I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave.
32:26Pardon me?
32:27You're harassing team personnel, and frankly, you're becoming a distraction.
32:30Ooh, never a good sign when they call us that.
32:32So unless you have a warrant...
32:33Did Coach send you out here?
32:35Consider yourself unwelcome in these facilities going forward.
32:38Ooh.
32:39Okay.
32:40Oh, sorry.
32:41A swish.
32:42Oh!
32:43Thank you, sir.
32:44Hello.
32:45Hi.
32:46Is this Steven Connor?
32:47Yes.
32:48This is a courtesy call as we may have detected some fraud on your account.
32:51Okay.
32:52I'd love to just run through a few unusual purchases with you if you have a moment.
32:57Did you purchase a Bachelorette sash and tiara set for $56.17?
33:02What?
33:03No.
33:04Okay.
33:05Looks like there may have been a breach.
33:06Let's run through a few more purchases to make sure.
33:08Okay.
33:09Okay.
33:10Okay.
33:11Okay.
33:12Let's run through a few more purchases to make sure.
33:14Okay.
33:15Okay.
33:16Okay.
33:17Okay.
33:18Let's run through a few more purchases to make sure.
33:21A phallus-shaped pool floatie for $86.05.
33:26Phallus-shaped?
33:28No.
33:29Definitely not.
33:30I am so sorry to hear that.
33:32May I ask, do you have your physical card on your person?
33:34Well, no.
33:35I can't actually find my wallet.
33:37So someone must have-
33:38Lieutenant?
33:40You left it unattended on the conference room table after the department wine.
33:44I kept meaning to return it.
33:46And yet, it slipped your mind?
33:48Well, you know, Lieutenant, protocol requires us to report a missing badge.
33:52I know.
33:53But I was sure it would turn up, and it's just so much paperwork.
33:56Oh, yeah.
33:57It's kind of like, uh, the remedial NYPD cybersecurity refresher training online module.
34:03You didn't actually buy a phallus-shaped pool floatie on my card, did you?
34:11No.
34:12That would be fraud.
34:13I trust you take these security matters a bit more seriously going forward.
34:18Hey, dude, where have you been?
34:19I'm super late.
34:20I was at the police station.
34:21What?
34:22What's going on?
34:23Nothing.
34:24Come on, man.
34:25I'm your captain.
34:26Bro, the other day, Coach asked me to say that we were watching tapes of the police
34:33of the police station.
34:34What?
34:35What's going on?
34:36Nothing.
34:37Come on, man.
34:38I'm your captain.
34:39Bro, the other day, Coach asked me to say that we were watching tape together when Dave
34:56died.
34:57He asked you to lie?
34:58Yeah.
34:59He said he was doing some recruiting stuff, and he didn't want them to know, but the cops
35:04figured out we lied, and now they think it was either him or me.
35:09For real?
35:10Then, dude, you just gotta tell them where you were.
35:12I did.
35:13I fell asleep in the players' lounge playing Xbox, and I got nobody to vouch for that.
35:17I'm freaking out.
35:18Okay.
35:19All right.
35:20When I talked to them, they were thinking that it was Peyton.
35:22Apparently she had an alibi.
35:24Really?
35:25Because I thought they had, like, forensic evidence or something.
35:29Okay.
35:30All right.
35:31When I talked to them, they were thinking that it was Peyton.
35:33Apparently she had an alibi.
35:35Really?
35:36Because I thought they had, like, forensic evidence or something.
35:38Yeah.
35:39Apparently they found her makeup on Dave's body because they were asking if, like, I framed
35:44her.
35:45How would you know what kind of makeup Peyton was?
35:47Right?
35:48Like, maybe look at the guy who lives with her.
35:49Wow.
35:50Do you really think that Coach could have killed Dave?
35:53Maybe he framed Peyton because he's too afraid to break up with her.
36:03Well, before we go out there, I want to say something.
36:08Been a hard week, huh?
36:11We lost Dave Coppins.
36:13I know that tragedy is hanging over you.
36:16It's, um, it's hanging over me.
36:20So, no one would blink if you guys went out there today and played like crap.
36:27But you know what we don't do here at St. Ivins?
36:30We don't let adversity deflate us.
36:34Because we stay in the game.
36:38Do you guys want to go out there and shove all those expectations in their damn faces?
36:43Come on.
36:45You guys have done the work.
36:47Now, I want to see you all go out and play the game the way I know you can.
36:52As Dave would want you to.
36:54So, get out there and win this game for Dave.
36:57All right?
36:58Come on, let's go!
36:59Let's go!
37:01Let's go!
37:03Let's go!
37:05Ready?
37:06Let's go!
37:25Whoop!
37:27I always wondered what kind of visibility these mascots have.
37:30But, turns out, you can see pretty much everything.
37:32You cannot be in here.
37:34Yes, I know.
37:35However, Thingy can go wherever he...
37:39She?
37:40Thingy can go wherever Thingy wants.
37:44And did Thingy just witness you planting evidence?
37:48Yep.
37:51Babe, where?
37:54Oh, boy.
37:55Let's turn to the replay!
37:57Huh!
37:58Huh!
37:59Huh!
38:00Shall we?
38:01Tune out the noise.
38:03That was your philosophy.
38:05But when Peyton said that your own players were talking about you to the media, you had to know which ones.
38:12So you bogged your own locker room.
38:15And to think, I defended you all through tape gate.
38:18Late one night, you, uh, listened to the day's recordings and...
38:25You heard something you didn't like.
38:27You heard Dave confronting Peyton.
38:30But more importantly, you heard all the stuff that no one would say to your face.
38:35And...
38:36Ugh!
38:37That pissed you off!
38:38Ugh!
38:39It triggered your old rage issues!
38:42Ugh!
38:43Ugh!
38:44You had been lifting weights.
38:45Getting fit for your lady.
38:47So when you threw something at Dave that night in the ice bath, you didn't know your own strength.
38:51You killed him.
38:52You have no way of knowing this.
38:53We know you tried to frame one of your own players.
38:56Just now.
38:57Not cool, coach.
38:58You mind if you show us your hands?
39:00Well, sure.
39:01I'm not wearing any makeup, but nice try.
39:04Oh, no.
39:05I just need to put handcuffs on him.
39:09You know what they say.
39:11It's not the crime.
39:13It's the cover-up.
39:19Hey, thanks for the help.
39:20All I did was ask a good friend a few questions.
39:22Well, when you're done playing ball and looking for a job in criminal justice, give me a call.
39:29I guess St. Ivans needs a new coach.
39:32There's always next season.
39:34Well, not for all of us.
39:43I was wrong about you.
39:45You're plenty confrontational when you need to be.
39:50I'm sorry about all of this.
39:53No.
39:55You're not.
39:57You should lead into that.
39:58Officer?
39:59Good work.
40:00Helping Elizabeth on this one.
40:01And thanks again for the help on that cyber course.
40:03Of course, sir.
40:04It's just a fraction of the things I learn from you every day.
40:08Hm.
40:09You'll give me a heads up if I ever turn into that old guy that no one wants to tell when to move on.
40:11Not if I'm in an iceberg.
40:12I won't.
40:13Hmm.
40:14Fair enough.
40:15Hmm.
40:16Hmm.
40:17Hmm.
40:18Hmm.
40:19Hmm.
40:20Hmm.
40:21Hmm.
40:22Hmm.
40:23Hmm.
40:24Hmm.
40:25Good work.
40:26Helping Elizabeth on this one.
40:27And, uh, thanks again for the help on that cyber course.
40:28Of course, sir.
40:29It's just a fraction of the things I learn from you every day.
40:31Hm.
40:32You'll give me a heads up if I ever turn into that old guy that no one wants to tell when to move on.
40:37Not if I'm in an iceberg, I won't.
40:39Hmm.
40:40Fair enough.
40:41You've reached the tip line of New York Confidential.
40:52Give us the tea.
40:54It's Elsbeth.
40:56E-L-S-B-E-T-H.
40:59Have some integrity.
41:03Taking a page from Peyton Ramsey's playbook, I see.
41:06I don't know why it bothered me so much.
41:08Oh, no one likes losing control of their narrative.
41:11The media companies aren't always kind to women connected to powerful men.
41:16Even men like Alec Blue.
41:17Hmm.
41:18Yeah.
41:19I really like Alec.
41:20I'm just not so sure I'm cut out for mayoral politics.
41:25I'm not like Peyton.
41:27I don't know.
41:28Yeah, she made a real Cinderella run, but I'm not sure we'll be hearing much from Mrs.
41:34Russell Willoughby anymore.
41:38My guest this week is the founder of Paramore Cosmetics, which recently sold to Elmem for an eye-popping nine figures.
41:48Peyton Ramsey, welcome to the podcast.
41:50Thank you for having me, Ava.
41:52Now, you developed your patented concealer formula after the police accused you of a murder that was actually committed by your ex-husband.
42:00I've always loved makeup, but being wrongfully accused really showed me that there's a gap in the market for high-end smudge-free products.
42:07You have such a genius for viral marketing.
42:09And part of that is leveraging your own personal story, so forgive me, but I have to ask the rumors about you and Senator Lindsey Graham.
42:19I've read those rumors too, Ava, but I choose not to dignify people's gossip with a response.
42:26I try and stay focused on the business.
42:28I try and stay focused on the issues.
42:29Now that our audience is a good thing, we have to turn on the headlines now.
42:38People are thinking about how you see that you're talking about, how you're talking about.
