00:00:01Three seconds left on the clock.
00:00:05Boo!
00:00:06Boo!
00:00:22Touchdown, Tuken Yusum.
00:00:28Goddammit!
00:00:30This is your fault!
00:00:31Your cheeks!
00:00:33Walking curse!
00:00:34I should have known when your mother left!
00:00:36Bad luck's in your bones!
00:00:39What do you mean, my fault?
00:00:44Dad, did you have the game?
00:00:45That touchdown just cost me my last hundred K!
00:00:50Your last hundred K?
00:00:53That was my life savings for my future, for-
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?
00:01:11Leon the Hitman Rivers?
00:01:16The Linebacker paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:01:22And who was banned for life.
00:01:25I'm using a different last name.
00:01:28You think a fake last name's got a fool in one?
00:01:38You're a universe.
00:01:40You're my flesh and blood.
00:01:44The pizza's cold.
00:01:46I'm gonna-
00:01:50No.
00:01:52I am nothing like you.
00:01:54And I never will be!
00:01:56It's not like anyone's gonna miss you.
00:01:58You're a worthless loser.
00:02:01Then you beat my ball.
00:02:02Get the hell out of my house!
00:02:05Don't bother coming back you grateful little bitch!
00:02:14If the Sentinels ever find out who I really am, I'll be blacklisted forever.
00:02:19I have to hide my identity.
00:02:22At any cost.
00:02:28To the haters!
00:02:35You'll lose some!
00:02:39I'm stuck!
00:02:48Oh!
00:02:52Oh!
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.
00:03:08Make him look good.
00:03:10Make me look good.
00:03:12This 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.
00:03:33E.
00:03:46Damn.
00:03:48You tackle harder than half the league.
00:03:51Tucker and you sir?
00:03:53Let me guess.
00:03:55You're a fan.
00:03:56You do trend every week.
00:03:58But not for football.
00:03:59Bar fights.
00:04:00Suspensions.
00:04:01An Instagram feed that reaches $25 at all.
00:04:05Sponsors see it as radioactive.
00:04:09So I'm guessing that's a hard no on the autograph then.
00:04:13But if we pivot now.
00:04:14Lean into redemption.
00:04:17Vulnerability.
00:04:17Carefully curious to come back.
00:04:20You're not just back in the league.
00:04:22You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:25Samir Ri...
00:04:28Richards.
00:04:29PR intern.
00:04:31Well shit.
00:04:32Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:35Welcome to the team.
00:04:37Intern.
00:04:37Intern.
00:04:55Did she just call me?
00:04:57Radio app.
00:05:07Well, well.
00:05:09You must be the charity hire.
00:05:11I'm Samir.
00:05:12I know who you are.
00:05:16I told HR I needed a superstar, not a sentient STD with a LinkedIn profile.
00:05:29Mop it up.
00:05:34Better yet.
00:05:36Lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you have.
00:05:44Also.
00:05:45Those shoes.
00:05:46Trash it.
00:05:52Trash it.
00:05:53No, no, no.
00:05:54Wait!
00:06:02We are through.
00:06:05To 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.
00:06:22Me.
00:06:34Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:36Uh, please...
00:06:37Don't mind her.
00:06:39She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:46So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.
00:06:51I want her.
00:06:55You mean the intern?
00:07:02Excuse me?
00:07:03What do you say, partner?
00:07:14Hey, intern.
00:07:15Slow down.
00:07:19You can't just point at someone and make them your babysitter.
00:07:23I 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.
00:07:45So what exactly did you expect me to do?
00:07:48Keep me out of the headlines.
00:07:49Unless the good ones.
00:07:51Let me stop you right there.
00:07:52I'm not your nanny, or your emotional support human, or 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.
00:08:06Got it?
00:08:08You scared me a little.
00:08:15I kinda 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.
00:08:32We 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?
00:08:42We both go down.
00:08:58Hello?
00:08:59Saw you on the TV.
00:09:02New job.
00:09:03New clothes.
00:09:04New 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.
00:09:14Not.
00:09:15Not.
00:09:16Close.
00:09:22Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:27You think you're special because he picked you?
00:09:32You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:35Office clutter and, oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:38You do not belong here.
00:09:40I didn't ask for this.
00:09:42Oh, hun.
00:09:43I see what you're up to.
00:09:47But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:51Boss.
00:09:52Bombshells.
00:09:52And boss bitches.
00:09:54And you are neither.
00:09:57Well, maybe he's tired of that type.
00:09:59Trust me.
00:10:00He's not.
00:10:02You are just the latest rehab prop in his redemption arc.
00:10:06And you'll be gone the minute his jersey sales spike like a bad case of herpes.
00:10:11Oh my god.
00:10:13So enjoy your little Cinderella moment.
00:10:16Because when midnight strikes, I'll be the one still holding his.
00:10:22Boss.
00:10:24And you?
00:10:25You'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for gay old Taco Bell.
00:10:30You finished?
00:10:32Oh, I am just getting started.
00:10:36Hey intern.
00:10:39I almost forgot.
00:10:42Tucker who?
00:10:43Hi.
00:10:44We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:51There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:54Thought you could keep me accountable.
00:11:01They could wear this.
00:11:04I'm not an escort.
00:11:06I know.
00:11:07More like a chaperone.
00:11:09And I need to be at my best behavior.
00:11:11She doesn't even own evening wear.
00:11:13You'll embarrass yourself.
00:11:15Not in that she won't.
00:11:17No.
00:11:19No.
00:11:21No.
00:11:24No.
00:11:27No.
00:11:29No.
00:11:32You're gonna stand there all night?
00:11:34Come on, baby.
00:11:40Ow.
00:11:56Well, 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.
00:12:10And 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.
00:12:23If you're gonna stare at me like that, I might start to think you like me.
00:12:29This is strictly...
00:12:32...a business.
00:12:38Boss.
00:12:54We're gonna be late.
00:13:07We're gonna do something.
00:13:09He's a locker room liability.
00:13:11He's not here to win games.
00:13:12He's here to keep TMZ in business.
00:13:22It'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 at this hour.
00:13:34Bad boy.
00:13:36Locker room cancer.
00:13:38Walking head line.
00:13:40Figured screw it.
00:13:41Might as well just live up to the ground.
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
00:13:53over.
00:13:55Not just this contract.
00:13:58My career.
00:14:01You're not the only one trying to outrun a part of yourself.
00:14:17Is that your new girlfriend, Tucker?
00:14:20Well, that's gonna take a while.
00:14:24That's his intern, PR Rehab.
00:14:27She won't last long.
00:14:34Good heavens, myself!
00:14:39That's the commissioner's wife.
00:14:43That's why charity cases like her stay behind the rope.
00:14:46And now I work.
00:14:49Okay.
00:15:06Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology,
00:15:10and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:13She's clearly overwhelmed.
00:15:14She doesn't belong in the settings. I tried to tell you.
00:15:18We'll just use your idea, Miss.
00:15:19Fix 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.
00:15:39You'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!
00:15:59My god.
00:16:00Sorry.
00:16:03We have to stop.
00:16:17Riverus.
00:16:20I thought you were laughing, Richard.
00:16:30Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:32Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:35Leon, the Hitman nurse.
00:16:39The linebacker who paralyzed their MVP with a dirty head.
00:16:45If he finds out, I lose this job, my future, everything.
00:16:50And I am back to waiting tables.
00:16:54Richard's is my mom's maiden name.
00:16:56I 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.
00:17:12Can I walk you to your car?
00:17:16I, uh, forgot something.
00:17:18You go ahead.
00:17:19I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:20I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:44Hello?
00:17:55Oh.
00:18:00Oh.
00:18:02Sorry.
00:18:07I didn't see anything.
00:18:09Okay.
00:18:11Okay.
00:18:11You can cry.
00:18:12Or you can suck it up and pretend you still have a career.
00:18:15And your dignity.
00:18:17Please.
00:18:18Practically sell my credit score.
00:18:24Uh, how long?
00:18:26It's just, uh, you got kicked out of my house.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:37Thank you, thanks.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40You moving in.
00:18:41With me.
00:18:43Tucker, no.
00:18:44That's not-
00:18:4524-7 means 24-7.
00:18:47You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:18:52It's more like a haunted boiler room.
00:18:56I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:18:59It's not pity.
00:19:01It's just practical.
00:19:03You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in a tea mock room.
00:19:19It's just a chimney bed for you.
00:19:21It's just a good thing to do now as you know.
00:19:21You're gonna have to see it.
00:19:29I think it's my pain.
00:19:34Uh huh.
00:19:35You're gonna have to go up here.
00:19:36It's a big fear.
00:19:36It's a big fear, too.
00:19:36Who, me?
00:20:02Oh, Jesus!
00:20:04Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:07It's my house.
00:20:09You're the one sneaking around like him.
00:20:11I couldn't.
00:20:13I wasn't sneaking.
00:20:15I was...
00:20:17hydrating.
00:20:25You could really use some better snacks.
00:20:28Take the cabinets.
00:20:30I wasn't staring, by the way.
00:20:33I never said you were.
00:20:35Good.
00:20:36Because I wasn't.
00:20:45Still not staring?
00:20:48Uh...
00:20:49You're...
00:20:50Weaking.
00:20:52Sweat.
00:20:52You're...
00:20:53It's...
00:20:53Distracting.
00:20:56I'll try to be less distracting.
00:21:04Look.
00:21:05If we're gonna live together, we should probably set some ground rules.
00:21:10Was I a bad boy?
00:21:13Rule one.
00:21:15Shirts.
00:21:17I feel targeted.
00:21:20Rule two.
00:21:22No flirting.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:26So...
00:21:27Shirts are mandatory.
00:21:29And no flirting.
00:21:31Anything else?
00:21:33I need this job.
00:21:36I need this job.
00:21:37I don't have a backup plan or a trust fund or a safety net.
00:21:41So...
00:21:42This thing.
00:21:43Whatever it is.
00:21:45If it starts getting in the way of the work...
00:21:49I walk.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:53I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:56I believe you.
00:22:15I'm...
00:22:16Gonna go to bed now.
00:22:17Good night.
00:22:26I'm...
00:22:32I'm...
00:22:33Well...
00:22:34If it isn't PowerPoint Barbie...
00:22:38How is our resident accountability partner...
00:22:41or wait...
00:22:42Is it um...
00:22:43Handler with benefits?
00:22:49Aww...
00:22:50I mean, don't feel bad, we all play our part. Some guys cheer from the sidelines, others just, um, on
00:23:01the bench.
00:23:03Just doing my part to disinfect the desperation.
00:23:09Skank.
00:23:33You good?
00:23:37You so much as Bree'd run in her direction again. The only person you're gonna be doing PR for on
00:23:42this team is the mascot.
00:23:44You can't possibly be taking her side. You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:23:48Save it, Jules. The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:23:55This isn't over.
00:24:00What are you waiting for?
00:24:03Go! Walk!
00:24:15Let's get you changed out of that shirt.
00:24:33What are you doing?
00:24:34Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:41What are you doing?
00:24:46Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:51You know, putting you on your mouth.
00:25:05I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm・ drew me.
00:25:05What are you doing?
00:25:05You can't do it.
00:25:06I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:25:07Go!
00:25:08I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
00:25:10Go!
00:25:19I can fight my own battles.
00:25:26I know.
00:25:27But sometimes it's nice to know you don't have to.
00:25:32Well, thanks.
00:25:38You, uh, you wear that dangerously well.
00:25:44Careful.
00:25:48You're getting awfully close to flirting.
00:25:51I thought that was against the rules.
00:25:54It is.
00:26:08Keep 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.
00:26:33Pack 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.
00:26:42I need you with me.
00:26:43Vegas?
00:26:44To the city.
00:26:45Neon.
00:26:46Nightclubs.
00:26:47Available tattoos.
00:26:48If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:26:53I can handle the bright lights.
00:26:55I can handle the pressure.
00:26:56But if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:27:11Could I get the key to my room?
00:27:13Forgot to tell you.
00:27:14Hotels over boats.
00:27:16Just one room.
00:27:26I'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.
00:27:39Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:27:41A couple of drinks.
00:27:42Blackjack.
00:27:43Just team bonding.
00:27:45Team bonding.
00:27:47Is that what we're calling it now?
00:27:52You are not going anywhere.
00:27:59Oh, really?
00:28:00You're locking me in now?
00:28:03If that's what it takes.
00:28:09Go put on swaths.
00:28:11I'm ordering room service.
00:28:12You are getting hot tea and a 9 p.m. bedtime.
00:28:16And what if I misbehave?
00:28:18Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:20And not in the hallway.
00:28:34I'll have to mention something.
00:28:36What?
00:28:37I'll have to catch you either.
00:28:38Just accomplice something.
00:28:42Oh.
00:29:01what is it just the guys checking in you should probably get some sleep
00:29:10the glitter pit
00:29:14you live the game tomorrow you are not going to a strip club and what are you gonna do
00:29:18stay up all night keeping watch on me i don't know if i have to suit yourself
00:29:29oh just so you know
00:29:36this is how i sleep since you're always get used to it
00:29:45great now i have to sleep in the same room as
00:29:57this
00:30:14I could get used to waking up like this, but he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:19Or the last name I'm hiding, which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:31So, that was a fun single.
00:30:35You slept.
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:37It won't happen again.
00:30:55There's a breakfast buffet.
00:30:56Heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:30:59You'd eat drywall if it had enough protein in it.
00:31:03Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid.
00:31:09Samira, didn'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.
00:31:27Oh 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.
00:31:54Not at all.
00:31:56I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:32:01Wow.
00:32:02And they let you be on camera with that personality.
00:32:04Coming from a guy whose entire personality catches balls hurt.
00:32:12Okay boys, I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:32:19We should get something.
00:32:21You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even mentioned a building with your last name.
00:32:39Your ex, always like that?
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42He's a huge asshole.
00:32:45And what did he mean?
00:32:47About your last name?
00:32:55Team 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.
00:33:05I was trying to control the story.
00:33:08That is literally my job.
00:33:20Club's already hopping.
00:33:27Going out?
00:33:33Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:36Nothing crazy.
00:33:42You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:33:45I don't think so.
00:33:46I'm coming.
00:33:49You want to keep an eye on me?
00:33:51Or 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.
00:34:05Intern.
00:34:27No promises.
00:34:28Fame is a burden I carry, bravely.
00:34:32Do you dance or would that be too much fun?
00:34:35Depends.
00:34:36Are you going to try something stupid?
00:34:38Almost definitely.
00:34:44There we go.

00:41:33That looks good.
00:41:54It's Gus Marwood, the owner of the team.
00:41:57Why are you whispering?
00:42:02Gus!
00:42:03What a pleasant surprise.
00:42:05Tucker!
00:42:07Listen, hey, I know it's last minute,
00:42:09but I called in a favor and I got you.
00:42:11You booked on the number one football podcast.
00:42:13It'll be great for you to reintroduce yourself to your fans.
00:42:16The new and improved Tucker Newsome.
00:42:20A podcast?
00:42:23Yeah.
00:42:24Sure, let's do it.
00:42:27Great.
00:42:27Look, it's also streaming live on YouTube.
00:42:302pm Soundworks downtown.
00:42:32Make me proud.
00:42:33Don't let me down.
00:42:49Mr. Newsome.
00:42:50They're ready for you in Studio B.
00:42:52Please follow me.
00:42:55Just stick to the talking points.
00:42:57I'll give the internet a reason to cancel you.
00:43:00It's gonna be 45 minutes of softballs.
00:43:02I got this.
00:43:08I'm her ex.
00:43:16And here he is.
00:43:18Right on time.
00:43:34All right, folks.
00:43:35We're live here.
00:43:36Tucker Newsome.
00:43:37Two-time Pro Bowler and brand new Seattle Sentinel.
00:43:40Thanks for joining us.
00:43:44Wouldn't miss it, man.
00:43:45Big fan of the pod.
00:43:49Let's get right into it.
00:43:50You've had an interest in a couple of years.
00:43:53How would you describe this chapter of your career?
00:43:56Focused.
00:43:57Humble.
00:43:58Ugly.
00:43:59Hm.
00:43:59That's new.
00:44:02A lot of fans are surprised the Sentinels are taking a chance on you.
00:44:05Some even saying it's a PR stunt.
00:44:07What do you think about that?
00:44:09It's fair?
00:44:10People can say what they want.
00:44:11I'm here to win games.
00:44:15The winning's never been your problem, has it?
00:44:19It's everything that happens off the field.
00:44:22Let's talk about the suspensions.
00:44:26The block lights and the blinds.
00:44:29One of the most talented tight ends in the league.
00:44:32It's the most volatile.
00:44:34People like to call you the league's favorite cautionary tale.
00:44:37I've made mistakes.
00:44:39I've owned them.
00:44:40And I'm doing the work to be better.
00:44:43Hmm.
00:44:45The last week at the Vegas nightclub.
00:44:49Is that part of the work?
00:44:56Was that another example of your temper getting better?
00:44:59I thought I was here to talk about football.
00:45:08Can we take five?
00:45:25Tucker, stop.
00:45:26Tucker, wait.
00:45:28Stop.
00:45:29This is a trap.
00:45:31He's not interviewing me.
00:45:33He's trying to humiliate me.
00:45:34I know.
00:45:35But that is exactly why you cannot lose it in there.
00:45:37You heard me say.
00:45:39I did.
00:45:40But if you're fired back, he wins.
00:45:44If you keep your cool, you walk out of here the guy people root for again.
00:45:49Give me your phone.
00:45:50What?
00:46:04I'll sit behind the glass and I'll talk you through it.
00:46:07You don't have to go through this alone.
00:46:11Let me help.
00:46:26All right, we are back.
00:46:28Tucker, I'm sorry.
00:46:29Where were we?
00:46:30Please.
00:46:31Traders down.
00:46:33First question.
00:46:34Deflect.
00:46:35Then redirect.
00:46:37You asked about Vegas.
00:46:39Yes.
00:46:40There was an incident.
00:46:41And I would do the exact same thing again if someone laid a hand on a woman in front of
00:46:46me.
00:46:47So.
00:46:48No regrets.
00:46:50No pain.
00:46:51Gratitude.
00:46:52This is your growth arc.
00:46:54Give them the headline you want.
00:46:57I've made mistakes.
00:46:58But I'm learning.
00:46:59And I have people in my life now who push me to be better.
00:47:02Not just as a player.
00:47:04But as a man.
00:47:09He's rattled.
00:47:11Yes.
00:47:12You can keep judging.
00:47:14I'm just going to keep moving forward.
00:47:30You were incredible in there.
00:47:32You were incredible in there.
00:47:34You were incredible.
00:47:35We made a pretty good team, didn't we?
00:47:37I could get used to that.
00:47:39What?
00:47:41You.
00:47:43Tell me what to do.
00:47:44Go.
00:48:00For a road.
00:48:05Go.
00:48:10Go.
00:48:12Go.
00:48:12Go.
00:48:13Go.
00:48:16Oh, Star, Diane's sleeping with the intern? Now that's a scandal.
00:48:22Pepper, don't!
00:48:24I should knock your teeth out!
00:48:26Try me, Issam. You lay a hand on me. And this isn't just a Franklage story. This is a lawsuit
00:48:32too.
00:48:34If you want a story, I'll give you one.
00:48:36Okay, I'm listening.
00:48:40Get the hell out of my house!
00:48:42And don't bother coming back, you ungrateful little bitch!
00:48:46Leon Rivers. Disgrace NFA Championship MVP. Ban for life for nearly killing a player on the field.
00:48:54Well, I know where he's been hiding. And he is in a new kind of trouble.
00:48:59Indeed, with the betting syndication. Big names, big debt.
00:49:05That's quite the scoop.
00:49:08Delete the photos, and you have yourself an exclusive.
00:49:11Deal. No pictures here.
00:49:22What the hell was that?
00:49:24That was me saving my career.
00:49:26No, that was you knowing way too much about Leon Rivers. How?
00:49:34I wrote my senior thesis on him. PR major, crisis comms.
00:49:39This case is textbook, fame, violence, media spin, total brain meltdown.
00:49:43I know every ugly detail.
00:49:48Well, you saved my ass. Again, we need to be more careful.
00:49:55Right.
00:49:57You were just my accountability partner. That's it. No more late night, heart to hearts. No more mixed signals. We
00:50:03were just two people who were forced to be on the same team.
00:50:05I understand.
00:50:08I'm late for practice. You can take an Uber back to the office.
00:50:19Hello?
00:50:19So, my own daughter sold me out.
00:50:24You're gonna be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
00:50:27Cockroach!
00:50:39You've got a charity event tonight?
00:50:437pm, downtown, breast cancer awareness.
00:50:47Media will be there.
00:50:48Of course they will be.
00:50:50Which means I'll be there too.
00:50:52To manage optics.
00:50:54Nothing more.
00:50:55Fine.
00:50:57Good.
00:50:59Great.
00:51:12Smile.
00:51:13Let's try to avoid any controversy tonight.
00:51:17Well, well, well. Look who it is.
00:51:21Our golden boy.
00:51:24You clean up nice.
00:51:25I'm committed to turning the page, boss.
00:51:28Let's see how long that lasts.
00:51:30He's actually been nothing but a professional.
00:51:32A model representative of the team.
00:51:36So far.
00:51:37We all know it's only a matter of time before he screws up again.
00:51:42Enjoy the evening.
00:51:48I don't believe that.
00:51:50Well, you know what they say.
00:51:52The zebra can't change its stripes.
00:51:56Well, look who it is.
00:51:59Long time no see.
00:52:03Long time no see.
00:52:05I didn't realize you were covering this.
00:52:07Oh, yeah. Last minute Simon.
00:52:09Charity sentiment overpriced champagne.
00:52:11Most people love production art.
00:52:13I've been watching the numbers on the podcast interview.
00:52:15Higher than any other episode we've done this season.
00:52:18Oh, you mean despite your best efforts, the baby into blowing it.
00:52:22That's fair.
00:52:23That's fair. I might have been a little aggressive.
00:52:26Try to get you to crack, but you didn't.
00:52:28This is not the story you wanted.
00:52:31It's becoming clear.
00:52:32Whatever you're doing to rehab his image, it's working.
00:52:36That's right.
00:52:37Believe it or not, I know what I've lost.
00:52:40I expected you to be a train wreck and your head is planted right at the station.
00:52:46Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight in support of breast cancer research.
00:52:53The auction begins shortly.
00:52:55And for the first time ever, we're doing something a little different.
00:52:59Tonight's auction won't feature art or wine or vacation homes.
00:53:03Because tonight, we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:10Because tonight, we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:25That's right, folks.
00:53:27Tonight's pride isn't a vintage bottle of Chateau Margaux.
00:53:30It's a dinner date with the city's finest.
00:53:33And by fine, we mean really fine.
00:53:37First up, you know him, you love him.
00:53:39He has more touchdowns than the rest this month.
00:53:42Please welcome number 88, Tucker Newsome.
00:53:51Welcome, Tucker.
00:53:53Looking very handsome.
00:53:57Tell us, what makes you the ideal date for one lucky bidder tonight?
00:54:02I'm Ponchu, and I don't check my phone at dinner.
00:54:05Unless it's CSB.
00:54:06Woo!
00:54:10A man who's present.
00:54:12We love it.
00:54:13Okay, lightning round.
00:54:15Dine in or take out?
00:54:16Cooking for two.
00:54:18I try.
00:54:19Tattooed or no?
00:54:21I guess.
00:54:22All earned.
00:54:26Boxers or briefs?
00:54:28I guess.
00:54:29I have to win the auction to find out.
00:54:36And one last thing before the bidding begins.
00:54:39Ladies, you didn't think we'd let him off the stage without making him work a little harder for it, did
00:54:44you?
00:54:45It is for charity, after all.
00:54:48Hit it!
00:54:48Hit it!
00:54:49Yeah!

00:57:01$10,000 going once.
00:57:03Going twice.
00:57:06Sold.
00:57:07Sold.
00:57:09Better cancel your plans, Tucky.
00:57:11You're mine tonight.
00:57:25You look like you could use some company.
00:57:29Thanks.
00:57:32I guess watching your fake boyfriend get auctioned off to your real enemy wasn't exactly the plan tonight.
00:57:37He's not my fake anything.
00:57:39We work together.
00:57:41That's it.
00:57:42Sorry.
00:57:43That was a bad joke.
00:57:44I was just trying to lighten the mood.
00:57:47He didn't even look back.
00:57:49Maybe he did.
00:57:50Maybe he just missed it.
00:57:52He walked right past me.
00:57:54Right out the door together.
00:57:57You know, if you want to talk or drink and forget about the night, I'm still a pretty good listener.
00:58:05Are you sure you're not just trying to get the next exclusive on, Tucker?
00:58:09Not tonight.
00:58:12Just one drink.
00:58:15Just one.
00:58:20To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:22To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:24To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:45To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:47To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:53To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:53Whoa.
00:58:55Let it fast.
00:58:56Is you okay?
00:58:57No.
00:58:59I just...
00:59:00I think I need to lay down.
00:59:02All right.
00:59:03Come on.
00:59:03There's a quiet room just off to the lobby.
00:59:05I'll take you there.
00:59:15tell me you're all
00:59:17what are you doing
00:59:27I miss you Sammy
00:59:28we were so good together
00:59:30stop
00:59:31it could be like when we first met
00:59:34No, we couldn't keep our hands off each other, did you?
00:59:36No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:39Get your hands off!
00:59:42What the hell?
00:59:43We're in the middle of something.
00:59:45Decker?
00:59:47You sick son of a bitch!
01:00:21What... what happened?
01:00:23You were drugged.
01:00:24Eli.
01:00:26What about your date with Jules?
01:00:28How did you...
01:00:29Didn't happen.
01:00:30Took her home.
01:00:31Dropped her off.
01:00:32I was just trying to make you jealous.
01:00:36Childish move.
01:00:38But the truth is...
01:00:41There was only one person I was up on that stage stripping for.
01:00:46You came back for me.
01:00:48Of course.
01:00:51Did you guys see?
01:00:51I didn't just see her.
01:00:53Let it happen.
01:00:54I didn't.
01:00:54I don't know.
01:01:18Good morning.
01:01:21Morning.
01:01:24Hi.
01:01:32What is it?
01:01:34I shouldn't be here.
01:01:35Too late for that.
01:01:37You are?
01:01:39Just tell him the truth about who you really are.
01:01:42If he cares about you,
01:01:44it won't matter.
01:01:50It's okay.
01:01:55It is great.
01:01:58An embarrassment.
01:01:59He torched his career, hurt people,
01:02:02dragged the game through the mud.
01:02:04That guy makes me sick.
01:02:09Sorry.
01:02:10You were saying?
01:02:13She said,
01:02:15he's a cautionary tale.
01:02:17I would never want to do anything
01:02:19to jeopardize your comeback.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:26Don't look away from this.
01:02:29From me.
01:02:31Whatever happens,
01:02:33we can deal with it.
01:02:34I'm making a mistake.
01:02:37Maybe.
01:02:40It's mine in the back.
01:02:44Maybe.
01:02:58It's mine in the back.
01:03:08It's mine in the back.
01:03:12It's mine in the back.
01:03:23Come on.
01:03:26I have protein, and smoothie, and special things.
01:03:28Just promise me you're not gonna start making me do pushups.
01:03:31Mm.
01:03:32Sweet.
01:03:39That can't be good.
01:03:48Gus?
01:03:49You been online today?
01:03:51No, why?
01:03:53You fucked up, Mason.
01:03:55I told you.
01:03:56It was just a matter of time.
01:03:58Oh, my God.
01:04:06What the hell is this?
01:04:08How?
01:04:09I don't understand.
01:04:34Maybe he'll think twice before blowing me off this time.
01:04:40Are you sleeping with the intern?
01:04:42You violated your morality rules.
01:04:44So you're suspended.
01:04:46Indefinitely.
01:04:53Tucker, I'm so sorry.
01:04:55This is because of me.
01:04:56No.
01:04:57This is because someone's trying to ruin me, and 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.
01:05:18I should go.
01:05:20You don't have to leave, Samira.
01:05:22You didn't do anything wrong.
01:05:25You walk out that door, they win.
01:05:53What the hell do you want from me?
01:05:54Sit up.
01:05:59You just signed your old man's death warrant.
01:06:03That 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.
01:06:19If 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 and him.
01:06:42This is because of your mistakes.
01:06:46Again.
01:06:47You can't move to everything.
01:06:49Your money, your career, your life.
01:06:52And now you expect me to fix it?
01:06:55Do you have any idea what it's taken for me to get this far?
01:06:59I changed my name.
01:07:01Buried who I was.
01:07:02I spent years proving that I am not you.
01:07:04That I am better than your screw-ups.
01:07:07Do you expect me to blow it all up just to keep me breathing?
01:07:11Yeah.
01:07:13That's right.
01:07:14I'm the only family you got.
01:07:18I'm so tired of cleaning up your messes.
01:07:23I built this life on my own.
01:07:25Every step of it.
01:07:26No one handed it to me.
01:07:27And I sure as hell didn't gamble it away.
01:07:32You done?
01:07:36What 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.
01:07:54Get him back on the field.
01:07:57You want me to destroy my reputation for a man you've never even met?
01:08:02I only make it to next Monday with a pulse.
01:08:13The team's holding the press conference tomorrow.
01:08:17We won't let them down, sweetheart.
01:08:34I'm so sorry about your lead to tape.
01:08:38I 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.
01:08:49You set me up.
01:08:53I gave you an out.
01:08:54But you chose her.
01:08:56You torched my career.
01:09:00Please.
01:09:01You were holding a lit match the entire time.
01:09:04I just poured some gasoline on it.
01:09:08Thank you all for coming.
01:09:12The 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.
01:09:40If you're gonna drag someone through the mud, make sure it's the right person.
01:09:44Miss Richards, this isn't-
01:09:46It's Miss Rivers, actually.
01:09:49Leon Rivers is my father.
01:09:55And the truth is that video, it wasn't Tucker's mistake.
01:10:01It was mine.
01:10:03I was the one who crossed the line.
01:10:05I pursued him and I lied about who I was.
01:10:08I let things get personal and I compromised my role with this organization.
01:10:15I 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 this.
01:10:33Yes, 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.
01:10:46We all say we want players who are good men.
01:10:48Who 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.
01:11:03You were always worth the risk.
01:11:09So, you're saying this was a personal failing on your part?
01:11:16Yes.
01:11:17And I'll accept the consequences.
01:11:20Just don't make Tucker your scapegoat.
01:11:26Then, as far as the Sentinels are concerned, this matter is resolved.
01:11:34No.
01:11:35Tucker Newsome has officially been cleared to play on Sunday.
01:11:57You 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.
01:12:33You lied to save me.
01:12:37I guess we're even now.
01:12:42You don't have to kill me.
01:12:44I'm not your accountability partner anymore.
01:12:47Besides, you need to focus on the playoffs.
01:12:51No. Screw that.
01:12:59What now?
01:13:02Hello?
01:13:03What's the button?
01:13:05She actually bought it!
01:13:08All I had to say was that they kill me and 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.
01:13:28I don't know why I'm surprised.
01:13:30He has disappointed me my whole life.
01:13:35He sold you out, Samira.
01:13:37He lied to you.
01:13:39He's your love like leverage.
01:13:42I gave up everything for him.
01:13:45My name, my job, my future.
01:13:49And you saved mine.
01:13:51That has to count for something.
01:13:55It has to count for more than that.
01:13:58He thinks he wins just because you're clear to play.
01:14:02Because I let him back me into a corner.
01:14:05But we are gonna beat him.
01:14:07It is a game.
01:14:09How?
01:14:12If I know one thing about Leon Rivers...
01:14:14He loves to hear himself talk.
01:14:18So we get him talking.
01:14:31So we get him talking.
01:14:40You sure about this?
01:14:42No.
01:14:44But I'm doing it anyway.
01:14:48Hey.
01:14:50You ready?
01:14:54We will record everything.
01:14:56Clean feed.
01:14:58My team back at the studio will record it all.
01:15:02And you're sure it won't glitch?
01:15:04This has to work.
01:15:05It will.
01:15:09I know.
01:15:09I know I can't make right what I did.
01:15:13I'm only ashamed.
01:15:14I'm so sorry.
01:15:16You're just lucky I didn't press charges.
01:15:20And even luckier that I didn't beat you to death in that hotel room.
01:15:26You're alive.
01:15:33He's here.
01:15:36Alright.
01:15:38Showtime.
01:15:57You're late.
01:15:59You're disgusting.
01:16:02The fuck were you even doing here, huh?
01:16:04You still bitter?
01:16:05After everything I taught you?
01:16:07You have never been your real father to me.
01:16:10You threatened me.
01:16:11You lied.
01:16:11You said they'd kill us if Tucker didn't play.
01:16:14You believed it, didn't you?
01:16:16That doesn't matter.
01:16:18You used me.
01:16:20I survived.
01:16:22Same as always.
01:16:24Well, you're not going to survive this.
01:16:27Sweetheart.
01:16:28The league already bought you a little confession.
01:16:30Your golden boy's back in uniform.
01:16:34And me?
01:16:36I'm sitting on the payout of a lifetime.
01:16:39You should be thanking me.
01:16:40Almost, almost, almost everything.
01:16:42Because of you.
01:16:44I was like, can I say it?
01:16:46But, you kept the team's biggest offensive weapon on the field.
01:16:51Everybody wins.
01:16:54I just better pray that your boyfriend delivers, because if the sentinels lose today, it won't
01:17:03just be my head on a chopping block, it'll be yours too.
01:17:07It sounded an awful lot like a threat to me.
01:17:11It's not a threat, it's a promise.
01:17:19Yes!
01:17:20We got him.
01:17:21We got him.
01:17:24Hello, police.
01:17:25I need to report a crime.
01:17:27The sentinels are down by three.
01:17:30One final drive.
01:17:31This is it.
01:17:33Set!
01:17:36Woo!
01:17:37Take care.
01:17:37I can't believe in you.
01:17:39I can't believe in you.
01:17:42I can't believe in you.
01:17:54Down, down, down.
01:18:06Fuck that dude, you fucking hero!
01:18:10Yes!
01:18:11Leon Rivers, you're under arrest for conspiracy, wire fraud, and rocketeering.
01:18:17Wait, wait, wait, what?
01:18:25Ugh.
01:18:37Set me up!
01:18:44You spin me up!
01:18:46You cannibal, you little bitch!
01:18:49Let go of me!
01:18:51You don't understand!
01:18:53Stand up with my laptop, you can go get it, dude!
01:18:55No!
01:18:55I did what I had to do!
01:18:57You are doing what you always do!
01:18:59To lie, cheat, you and me.
01:19:02I've done a lot of stupid things in my life!
01:19:04And you, you were my biggest mistake!
01:19:11You played your last down!
01:19:17You're under arrest.
01:19:18Let me go!
01:19:19No!
01:19:22Nice hit.
01:19:23Blind thigh blitz.
01:19:25Never saw me coming up.
01:19:27Neither did I.
01:19:32Tucky-foo!
01:19:34We did it!
01:19:37We didn't do anything.
01:19:38You tried to sabotage us.
01:19:40Oh, that was just added motivation.
01:19:43Tucker Newsome.
01:19:45Tucker Newsome.
01:19:48Congratulations.
01:19:50What was wrong about you?
01:19:52And you.
01:19:54You're fired.
01:19:55What?!
01:19:57Samira.
01:19:59You've been promoted to head of Team PR.
01:20:03You burned.
01:20:05I-I don't know what to say.
01:20:07Just say you'll show up Monday with a smile on your face.
01:20:12I will.
01:20:14This is a mistake!
01:20:22You know, I was thinking, maybe you could be my permanent accountability partner.
01:20:32We loved you.
01:20:33I could turn back times.
01:20:36All the work is going on.
01:20:42The time and the world, now I just need more.
