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.
00:11:17I'm not an emergency.
00:11:27I don't know.
00:11:32Cheers.
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.
00:14:47Hey.
00:14:56A
00:15:06T
00:15:07Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology, and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:13She's clearly unbelowned. She doesn't belong in these settings. I tried to tell you.
00:15:18Well, this is your idea, Miss. Fix 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. I chose her. She goes, I go.
00:15:39You're seriously going to jeopardize your comeback. For an intern.
00:15:45What can I say? I thrive on chaos.
00:15:55Hey, wait up!
00:15:59My god, sorry.
00:16:03We have to stop this.
00:16:06We have to stop this.
00:16:16Reris.
00:16:19I thought you were a monster, Richard.
00:16:30Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:33Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:34Leon, the Hitman Nurse, the linebacker who paralyzed every MVP with a dirty hit.
00:16:45If he finds out, I lose this job, my future, everything, and I am back to waiting tables.
00:16:54Richards is my mom's maiden name. I use it sometimes. I guess it makes me feel closer to her.
00:17:02Sure.
00:17:05Makes sense. As 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. You go ahead. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:20Mm-hmm.
00:17:21Mm-hmm.
00:17:22Mm-hmm.
00:17:25Mm-hmm.
00:17:50Mm-hmm.
00:17:54Oh.
00:18:00Oh.
00:18:02Sorry.
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. And your dignity.
00:18:16Please. You practically sell my credit score.
00:18:23Uh, how long?
00:18:26It's just, uh, you got kicked out of my house.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:37Pack your drinks.
00:18:39Thanks.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40You moving in. With me.
00:18:43Tucker, no. That's not.
00:18:4524-7 means 24-7. You 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. It's just practical.
00:19:03You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in a tea mock room.
00:19:18Wow.
00:19:21Your room is down the hall. First door on the left.
00:19:24Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in the fridge labeled to you anymore.
00:19:29That means it's mine.
00:19:31Thanks.
00:19:32I can spell.
00:19:34Then we're gonna get along great.
00:19:36Roomie.
00:20:02Oh, Jesus.
00:20:04Sorry. I-I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:07It's my house.
00:20:09You're the one sneaking around like it.
00:20:10Oh, I couldn't.
00:20:12Huh.
00:20:13I wasn't sneaking.
00:20:15I was...
00:20:17Hydrating.
00:20:25You could really use some better snacks.
00:20:27Take the candles.
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 up.
00:20:53It's...
00:20:54You're distracting.
00:20:57I'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.
00:21:14Shirts.
00:21:17I feel targeted.
00:21:20Rule two.
00:21:22No flirting.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:26So...
00:21:27Shirts are mandatory.
00:21:29No flirting.
00:21:31Anything else?
00:21:33I need this job.
00:21:36I 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.
00:21:54I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:56I believe you.
00:22:15I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:22:17Good night.
00:22:28You've got my quick
00:22:33Well, if it isn't PowerPoint Barbie...
00:22:38How is our resident accountability partner?
00:22:41Or wait, is it...
00:22:43Handler with benefits?
00:22:49I 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 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.
00:23:44You 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?
00:24:02Go! 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.
00:24:36Where are you?
00:24:56What are you doing?
00:25:20I can fight my own battles.
00:25:26I know, but 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.
00:25:47You'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, guess so.
00:26:33Pack your bags.
00:26:35Hey, excuse 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.
00:26:43To Vegas?
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, you can take the couch.
00:27:29Generous.
00:27:31I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:27:34Hm.
00:27:35Okay.
00:27:35I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:27:39Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:27:41Couple of drinks.
00:27:42Blackjack.
00:27:43Just team bonding.
00:27:45Team bonding.
00:27:46Is 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.
00:28:10Gupanosos.
00:28:11I'm ordering room service.
00:28:12You are getting hot tea and a 9pm bedtime.
00:28:16And what if I misbehave?
00:28:17Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:19And not be lovely.
00:28:35What?
00:28:37You just accomplished something.
00:28:42Oh.
00:29:01What is it?
00:29:03Just the guys checking in.
00:29:05You should probably get some sleep.
00:29:10The 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 don't know if I have to.
00:29:23Suit yourself.
00:29:29Oh.
00:29:30Just so you know.
00:29:36This is how I sleep since you're always.
00:29:38Get used to it.
00:29:44Great.
00:29:45Now I have to sleep in the same room as his abs.
00:29:50Great.
00:30:01Now I have to sleep in the same room as his abs.
00:30:14I could get used to waking up like this, but he doesn't know the truth about me, or the
00:30:19last name I'm hiding, which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:31So, that was a fun single.
00:30:35We slept.
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:38Won't happen again.
00:30:54There'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 profile.
00:31:09Samira, didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:31:14Eli, what are you doing here?
00:31:17Who are you?
00:31:18I'm her ex.
00:31:27Oh no, if 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, not 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 is catches balls with you.
00:32:12Okay boys, I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:19We should get something.
00:32:22You know, honestly, I'm surprised that you even mentioned your 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.
00:33:06Always trying to control the story.
00:33:07That 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 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 in turn.
00:34:23Have you tried not to get recognized every five minutes?
00:34:27No promises.
00:34:28Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:30Brazily.
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.
00:34:56Tucker Newsome!
00:34:58Can I have your autograph?
00:34:59Give me two seconds.
00:35:01Drew, be right back.
00:35:08You with the tight end?
00:35:11I'm good.
00:35:12Thanks.
00:35:13That's not what I asked.
00:35:15I said I'm good.
00:35:17Hey, come on.
00:35:19Don't be like that.
00:35:20I'd like to see your tight end.
00:35:22I'd like to see your tight end.
00:35:29What the hell is wrong with you bitch?
00:35:43Hitting a woman.
00:35:44Not cool.
00:35:45What the hell?
00:35:47I'm going to have to call unnecessary roughness on that play.
00:35:50Apologize, Derek.
00:35:51Screw you!
00:35:53One, two, three.
00:36:00You okay?
00:36:02Hey!
00:36:03Hands where I can see them.
00:36:06Yep.
00:36:07And that is what you call assault.
00:36:11You got it, McKinney.
00:36:12It was self-defense.
00:36:14Now!
00:36:14Now!
00:36:16You got it, McKinney.
00:36:19You got it, McKinney.
00:36:20Wait.
00:36:22Don't I know you?
00:36:23You bailed your old man out of his slammer.
00:36:26Like father, like daughter.
00:36:29What is he talking about?
00:36:30what is he talking about?
00:36:47I am.
00:36:47You're lying back and paralyzed there.
00:36:50We have a VP with a dirty head.
00:36:53Like father, like daughter.
00:36:54My dad had a bit of a temper. He had a road rage incident. Some guy cut him off and
00:37:01he completely lost it.
00:37:04We've all been there. Usually I at least make it to the second date before I live in jail.
00:37:10This is not a date.
00:37:13It would be a pretty good story to tell the kids stuff at once.
00:37:19Video gets out of this. I'm finished.
00:37:22I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:37:25Little people somewhere.
00:37:27Good. People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:37:32Do you think I'm the last cause?
00:37:36No. I think you're used to people treating you like one. So you act like you are.
00:37:51Sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:37:55You did it. I walked right in. Eyes wide open.
00:38:01You made battle.
00:38:09Wow. Look at you two. Just like prom night. Not that you'd know.
00:38:19Jules, how did you-
00:38:20You're welcome, by the way. You'll be out of here in a minute.
00:38:25You, on the other hand, can enjoy your complimentary night in the slammer.
00:38:31What?
00:38:34You're not even under contract with the team. I mean, you're an intern.
00:38:38Now, you're a liability. HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:45Spoiler alert. You're fired.
00:38:48She was defending this.
00:38:49And you were defending her. Blah, blah, blah.
00:38:53She's not staying here.
00:38:55Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so...
00:38:58Okay. Then I stay, too.
00:39:02Excuse 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?
00:39:11You're damn right I would.
00:39:13Either both of us walk out of here, or neither of us do.
00:39:22Fine. Have it your way.
00:39:26But just remember, what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:45Oh.
00:39:47Well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:39:52I still feel like I smoked up against my decisions.
00:39:57That jail cell.
00:39:59That was worse than the team locker room after two days in the day of August.
00:40:07When we get home, I need a shower. Like an exorcism level shower.
00:40:13Just don't use all the hot water, please.
00:40:34I can go. Go.
00:40:39You know there's eight bathrooms in the house, right?
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:44But this one's the one's.
00:40:46Happy one.
00:40:49Happy two hours.
00:40:50So generally, I'm
00:40:51deans- Plateau.
00:40:52Thanks for the time.
00:40:52I'm real.
00:41:20We'll see you next time.
00:41:24Oh my god!
00:41:25Jesus!
00:41:27Why did it just turn into a cold plunge?
00:41:29A fancy mansion has a broken water here.
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.
00:42:07Hey, I know it's last minute, but I called in a favor and I got you booked on the number
00:42:12one football podcast.
00:42:13It'll be great for you to reintroduce yourself to your fans, the new and improved Tucker
00:42:19Newsome.
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.
00:42:292 p.m. Soundworks downtown.
00:42:32Make me proud.
00:42:33Don't let me down.
00:42:48Mr. Hearsome!
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, right on time.
00:43:34All right, folks, we're live here.
00:43:36Tucker Newsome, two-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.
00:44:26Block lights and fines.
00:44:29I mean, one of the most talented tight ends in the league.
00:44:32So 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.
00:44:44To last week at the Vegas nightclub.
00:44:49Was that part of the work?
00:44:56Was that another example of your temper getting better?
00:44:59Then I was here to talk about football.
00:45:08Can we take five?
00:45:24Tucker, 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 what you said.
00:45:39I did.
00:45:40But if you fire back you 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?
00:45:51Trust me.
00:46:04I'll sit behind the glass and I'll talk to 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?
00:46:29Move.
00:46:31Shoulders down.
00:46:33First question, deflect.
00:46:35Then redirect.
00:46:37You asked about Vegas.
00:46:39Yes, there 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, no 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.
00:46:59I have people in my life now who push me to be better.
00:47:02Not just as a player, but as a man.
00:47:09He's rattled.
00:47:11Yes.
00:47:12You can keep judging.
00:47:14Okay, I'm just going to keep moving forward.
00:47:30You were incredible in Paris.
00:47:33You 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.
00:47:59All my life I was looking for a sign.
00:48:05Wasn't sure where to find a peace of mind.
00:48:16Oh, Star, Diane's sleeping with the intern?
00:48:20Now that's a scandal.
00:48:22Tucker, don't!
00:48:24I should knock your teeth out!
00:48:26Try me, Issam.
00:48:27You lay a hand on me.
00:48:28And this isn't just a front page story.
00:48:31This is a lawsuit too.
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.
00:48:48Disgrace NFA Championship MVP.
00:48:51Banned for life for nearly killing a player on the field.
00:48:54Well, I know where he's been hiding.
00:48:57And he is in a new kind of trouble.
00:48:59In deep with the betting syndicate.
00:49:01Big names, big debt.
00:49:05That's quite the scoop.
00:49:08Delete the photos, and you have yourself an exclusive.
00:49:12Deal.
00:49:12No pictures here.
00:49:22What the hell was that?
00:49:24You're always me saving my crew here.
00:49:26No, that was you knowing way too much about Leon Rivers.
00:49:29How?
00:49:34I wrote my senior thesis on him.
00:49:37PR major, crisis comms.
00:49:39This case is textbook, fame, violence, media spin, total brain meltdown.
00:49:44Right now, every ugly detail.
00:49:48Well, you saved my ass.
00:49:51Again, we need to be more careful.
00:49:55You're right.
00:49:57You are just my accountability partner.
00:49:59That's it.
00:50:00No more late night, heart to hearts.
00:50:01No more mixed signals.
00:50:03We are just two people who are forced to be on the same team.
00:50:06Understood.
00:50:08I'm late for practice.
00:50:10You can take an Uber back to the office.
00:50:19Hello?
00:50:20So, my own daughter sold me out.
00:50:23You're gonna be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
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.
00:51:19Look who it is.
00:51:21Our golden boy.
00:51:24You clean up nice.
00:51:25I'm committed to turning the page, boss.
00:51:28See 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.
00:51:52Zebra 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.
00:52:07Hell yeah.
00:52:08Last minute Simon.
00:52:09Cherry sentiment overpriced champagne.
00:52:11Those 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 that bait me into blowing it.
00:52:22That's fair.
00:52:23That's fair.
00:52:24I 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 want him to hear.
00:52:31It's becoming clear.
00:52:32Whatever you're doing to rehab his image, it's working.
00:52:36What's your anger?
00:52:38Believe 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,
00:52:48Thank 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.
00:53:04Because tonight we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:11Because 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.
00:53:39You 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?
00:54:01I'm Pong Chul, and I don't check my phone at dinner.
00:54:05Unless it's ESPN.
00:54:07Woo!
00:54:10A man who's present.
00:54:12We love it.
00:54:13Okay, lightning round.
00:54:15Dine in or take out?
00:54:17Cooking for two.
00:54:18I tried.
00:54:20Tattooed or no?
00:54:21I guess.
00:54:22All earned.
00:54:26Boxers or briefs?
00:54:28I guess I'm just going to 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
00:54:43for it, did you?
00:54:45It is for charity after all.
00:54:48Hit it!
00:54:48And all you ready!
00:54:53Woo!
00:54:58Woo!
00:55:00Okay, okay.

00:55:56You're loving my hands
00:55:58You're loving my hands
00:56:00Tearing down the bruises and you know that I can't
00:56:03Cause this is all that I am
00:56:05You're loving my hands
00:56:08Okay, ladies, the bidding begins at $1,000. Do I hear one?

00:56:26$2,500.
00:56:28Do I hear three?
00:56:30$3,000.
00:56:32Okay.
00:56:34I'm fine.
00:56:36Do I hear five?
00:56:38Right here.
00:56:40$5,000.
00:56:42Going once.
00:56:43Going twice.
00:56:44$10,000.
00:56:51Well, well. $10,000 from Ms. Jules Lancaster.
00:56:57I forgot you.
00:56:59Do I hear $11,000?
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.
00:57:40We worked together.
00:57:41That's it.
00:57:43Sorry.
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.
00:58:53Well, I hit fast.
00:58:56Is he okay?
00:58:57Um, I just, uh, I 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, tell me, you're not my choice.
00:59:24What are you doing?
00:59:27I miss you, Sammy.
00:59:29We were so good together.
00:59:30Stop!
00:59:31It could be like when we first met.
00:59:34We 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.
00:59:45Tucker?
00:59:47You sick son of a bitch!
00:59:49You sick son of a bitch!
01:00:20What?
01:00:21What 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, there was only one person I was up on that stage stripping for.
01:00:46You came back for me.
01:00:48Of course.
01:00:49You came back to me.
01:00:52I don't know.
01:01:01You came back.
01:01:04You came back.
01:01:08You came back.
01:01:11You came back.
01:01:15You came back.
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, it won't matter.
01:01:47I don't know.
01:01:54I'm sorry, please.
01:01:56It was great.
01:01:58Embarrassment.
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 to jeopardize your comeback.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:26Don't look away from this.
01:02:29From me.
01:02:31Whatever happens, we can deal with it.
01:02:34I'm making a mistake.
01:02:38Maybe.
01:02:40Just mind the mag.
01:02:58I'm making a mistake.
01:02:59This is so beautiful.
01:03:23You ready to experience greatness?
01:03:28Just promise me you're not going to start making me do push-ups.
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, it 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.
01:04:40You sleeping with the intern?
01:04:42You violated your morality.
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.
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.
01:05:20You don't have to leave, Samira.
01:05:22You didn't do anything wrong.
01:05:25You walk out that door, they win.
01:05:48You don't have to leave, Samira.
01:05:53What the hell do you want from me?
01:05:55Sit 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 can't even.
01:06:24That's not my problem.
01:06:25It is now.
01:06:27Because if I go down, they're not just coming for me.
01:06:32They're coming for you and him.
01:06:41This is because of your mistakes.
01:06:46Again.
01:06:47You can't hold 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, buried who I was.
01:07:02I spent years proving that I am not you, that I am better than your screw-ups.
01:07:07You expect me to blow it all up just to keep you 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, no 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, just 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 in the middle.
01:08:13The team's holding the press conference tomorrow.
01:08:17Don't let them down, sweetheart.
01:08:35I'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.
01:08:55But you chose her.
01:08:57You torched my career.
01:08:59Please.
01:09:00You were holding a lit match the entire time.
01:09:03Just poured some gasoline on it.
01:09:09Thank 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,
01:09:23we've reached a decision regarding Mr. Newsome's future with the team.
01:09:29Effective immediately.
01:09:40If 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.
01:09:55And the truth is that video,
01:09:57it 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.
01:10:29Samira, please. You don't have to do that.
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,
01:10:49who 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.
01:11:01Samira, please.
01:11:03You were always worth the risk.
01:11:09So...
01:11:10You'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...
01:11:32This matter is resolved.
01:11:35Tucker Newsome...
01:11:37Has 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.
01:12:18My father called.
01:12:21He's indeed...
01:12:22owes 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.
01:12:43I'm not your accountability partner anymore.
01:12:48Besides...
01:12:48You need to focus on the playoffs.
01:12:51No. Screw that.
01:12:59What now?
01:13:02Hello?
01:13:03What's the butt down here?
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 table.
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.
01:13:46My job.
01:13:47My future.
01:13:49And you saved mine.
01:13:51It 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.
01:14:06But we're gonna beat it.
01:14:07It is a game.
01:14:09How?
01:14:12If I know one thing about Leon Rivers...
01:14:15He loves to hear himself talk.
01:14:18So we get him talking.
01:14:40You sure about this?
01:14:42No.
01:14:44But I'm doing it anyway.
01:14:48Hey.
01:14:49Hey.
01:14:50You ready?
01:14:54We will record everything.
01:14:56Alright.
01:14:57Clean feed.
01:14:58My team back at the studio will record it all.
01:15:02Are you sure it won't glitch?
01:15:04This has to work.
01:15:05It will.
01:15:09I know.
01:15:09I can't make right what I did.
01:15:13I'm really ashamed.
01:15:14I'm so sorry.
01:15:17You'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.
01:15:58You're late.
01:15:59You're disgusting.
01:16:02What the fuck are you even doing here?
01:16:03You 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.
01:16:24Boy, you're not gonna 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.
01:16:41Almost ever.
01:16:42Because of you.
01:16:44Say it, 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.
01:16:58Because if the Sentinels lose today,
01:17:02it won't just be my head on a chopping block.
01:17:05It'll be yours too.
01:17:07It sounded an awful lot like a threat to me.
01:17:11It's not a threat.
01:17:13It's a promise.
01:17:18Yes!
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!
01:17:45How are you going?
01:17:46Crazy way, how are you going?
01:17:50How are you going?
01:17:52How are you going?
01:17:54How are you going down?
01:17:56How are you going down?
01:17:57Down?
01:18:03Yeah!
01:18:07That's dead, you fucking evil!
01:18:10Yes!
01:18:11Leon Rivers.
01:18:12You're under arrest for conspiracy, wire fraud, and rocketeering.
01:18:17Wait, wait, wait, what?
01:18:37Step it up!
01:18:42Ah!
01:18:45You set me up!
01:18:46You canardy little bitch!
01:18:50Let go of me.
01:18:51I just don't understand if it's my life you can go get into it!
01:18:55No!
01:18:55I did what I had to do!
01:18:57You are doing what you always do!
01:18:59Cry, cheat, you and me.
01:19:02I've done a lot of stupid things in my life!
01:19:04You, you were my biggest mistake!
01:19:11You played your last down!
01:19:17You're under arrest.
01:19:18Don't let me go!
01:19:22Nice hit.
01:19:23Blind flay blitz.
01:19:25Never saw me coming up.
01:19:27Neither did I.
01:19:33Tuckifu!
01:19:34Oh, we did it!
01:19:37We didn't do anything.
01:19:38You tried to sabotage us.
01:19:40Oh, that was just added motivation.
01:19:44Tucker Newsome.
01:19:48Congratulations.
01:19:50What was wrong about you?
01:19:52And you.
01:19:54You're fired.
01:19:54What?
01:19:57Samira.
01:19:59You've been promoted to head of team PR.
01:20:03You burned.
01:20:05I 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.
01:20:46Bye!
