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 know.
00:11:19I know.
00:11:19I know.
00:11:26I know.
00:11:27I know.
00:11:33You're going to 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.
00:14:46No!
00:14:57I'm sorry.
00:14:59No!
00:15:04No!
00:15:06Care 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.
00:16:07I'm sorry.
00:16:17Reris.
00:16:20I thought you were lost, you bitches.
00:16:30Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:33Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:34We are the Hitman Nurse.
00:16:39The 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.
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.
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. You go ahead. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:20Mm.
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:23How's that?
00:17:25Okay.
00:17:44Hello?
00:17:44Hello?
00:18:02Oh, sorry.
00:18:07I didn't see anything.
00:18:10Okay, you can cry, or you can suck it up and pretend you still have a career.
00:18:15And your dignity.
00:18:17Please, 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.
00:18:37Back here, thanks.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40You moving in. With me.
00:18:43Tucker, no, that's not...
00:18:4524-7 means 24-7.
00:18:47You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:18:52It'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.
00:19:06I don't know.
00:19:18Wow.
00:19:21Your room is down the hall.
00:19:23First door on the left.
00:19:24Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in the fridge labeled to you.
00:19:29That means it's mine.
00:19:30Thanks.
00:19:32I can spell.
00:19:34Then we're gonna get along great.
00:19:36With me.
00:20:01Oh, Jesus.
00:20:04Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:07It's my house.
00:20:09You're the one to sneak around like it.
00:20:11Or I couldn't.
00:20:13I wasn't sneaking.
00:20:15I was...
00:20:17Hydrating.
00:20:24Uh, you 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.
00:20:46Still not staring?
00:20:48Uh, you're weaking.
00:20:52Sweat, you're, uh, it's distracting.
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?
00:21:12Rule one.
00:21:15Shirts.
00:21:18I feel targeted.
00:21:20Rule two.
00:21:22No flirting.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:26So, shirts 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.
00:21:40So, this thing, whatever 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.
00:22:33Well, if it isn't PowerPoint Barbie.
00:22:38How is our resident accountability partner?
00:22:41Or wait, is it, um, handler with benefits?
00:22:49Oh, I mean, don't feel bad.
00:22:53We all play our part.
00:22:55We all play our part.
00:22:55Some of us cheer from the sidelines.
00:22:58Others just, um, on the bench.
00:23:03Just doing my part to disinfect the desperation.
00:23:09Skank.
00:23:32You good?
00:23:37You so much as breathe run in her direction again.
00:23:40The only person you're gonna be doing PR for on this team is the master.
00:23:44You can't possibly be taking her side.
00:23:46You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:23:48Save it, Jules.
00:23:49Jules.
00:23:49The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:23:55This isn't over.
00:24:00What are you waiting for?
00:24:03Go!
00:24:04Walk!
00:24:15Let's get you changed out of that shirt.
00:24:33What are you doing?
00:24:35Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:40What are you doing?
00:24:51heartbreakingly.
00:24:51What are you doing?
00:24:52What are you doing?
00:25:07This is my favorite thing.
00:25:07Two people are worth walking around.
00:25:07I'm sorry!
00:25:07I'm sorry!
00:25:08Do you think I'm sorry!
00:25:08A lot of people are rusty.
00:25:10A lot of people are rusty.
00:25:12The only person you're in the house.
00:25:12You're in the office of the whole room.
00:25:12Five people.
00:25:12That's stupid.
00:25:12A lot of people are sensitive.
00:25:19I 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.
00:25:44Be careful.
00:25:48You're getting awfully close to flirty.
00:25:51I thought that was against the rules.
00:25:54It is.
00:26:14Guess that's our cue.
00:26:17Yeah.
00:26:18Guess so.
00:26:18What are you doing?
00:26:34What are you doing?
00:26:36What are you doing?
00:26:43What?
00:26:44What?
00:26:44city, neon, nightclubs, available tattoos. If there ever was a time I needed an
00:26:50accountability partner, it's there. I can handle the bright lights, I can handle the
00:26:56pressure, but if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:27:11Could I get the key to my room? Forgot to tell you. Hotels over boats, just one room.
00:27:26I'll take the king, you can take the couch. Generous.
00:27:31I'm nothing if not chivalrous. Okay, I have had apartments smaller than
00:27:37this room. Some of the guys are hitting the strip, couple of drinks, blackjack,
00:27:43just team bonding. Team bonding. Is that what we're calling it now?
00:27:52You are not going anywhere.
00:27:59Oh, really? You're locking me in now? If that's what it takes.
00:28:10Gupanosos, I'm ordering room service. You are getting hot tea and a 9pm bedtime.
00:28:16And what if I misbehave? Then I'll have to punish you. And not be lovely.
00:28:25A 9pm bedtime.
00:28:26Gupanosos, I'm working.
00:28:27I'm 3.995.
00:28:32I'm going to try to find you.
00:28:35You are getting hot tea and ice.
00:28:37You are getting hot tea and eat.
00:28:38You are getting hot tea and hot tea.
00:28:39If you want to about to mix like that,
00:28:43you are getting hot tea and hot tea.
00:29:01what is it just the guys checking in you should probably get some sleep
00:29:10the glitter pit
00:29:14you look at the game tomorrow you are not going to a strip club
00:29:16and what are you going to do stay up all night keeping watch on me
00:29:20I don't know if I have to
00:29:23suit 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 his abs
00:30:14I could get used to waking up like this
00:30:16but he doesn't know the truth about me or the last name I'm hiding

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.
00:35:29What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:35:43Hitting a woman. Not cool.
00:35:45What the hell?
00:35:46I'm gonna have to call unnecessary roughness on that plane.
00:35:50Apologize to her.
00:35:51Screw you!
00:35:53One second.
00:36:00You okay?
00:36:02Hey! Hands where I can see them.
00:36:06Yep.
00:36:06And that is what you call assault.
00:36:11You gotta be kidding me.
00:36:12It was self-defense.
00:36:14Now!
00:36:20Wait.
00:36:22Don't I know you?
00:36:23You bailed your old man out of this slammer.
00:36:26Like father, like daughter.
00:36:28Samira, what is he talking about?
00:36:47The linebacker paralyzed there.
00:36:50MVP with a dirty hit.
00:36:53Like father, like daughter.
00:36:54My dad had a bit of a temper.
00:36:57He had a road rage incident.
00:36:59Some guy cut him off and he completely lost it.
00:37:04We've all been there.
00:37:06Usually 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.
00:37:18The video gets out of this.
00:37:20I'm finished.
00:37:22I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:37:25It'll come out somewhere.
00:37:26Good.
00:37:27People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:37:32Do you think I'm the last cause?
00:37:34No.
00:37:36I think you're used to people treating you like one.
00:37:40So you act like you are.
00:37:51Sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:37:55You did it.
00:37:57I walked right in.
00:37:59Eyes wide open.
00:38:00You made bail.
00:38:09You made bail.
00:38:11Look at you two.
00:38:13Just like prom night.
00:38:17Not that you'd know.
00:38:19Jules, how did you-
00:38:20You're welcome, by the way.
00:38:22You'll be out of here in a minute.
00:38:25You, 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.
00:38:37I mean, you're an intern.
00:38:38Now, you're a liability.
00:38:41HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:45Spoiler alert.
00:38:46You're fired.
00:38:48She was defending us.
00:38:49And you were defending her.
00:38:51Blah, blah, blah.
00:38:53She's not staying in here.
00:38:55Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so...
00:38:58Okay.
00:38:59Then I stay too.
00:39:02Excuse 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?
00:39:10Yeah.
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.
00:39:24Have it your way.
00:39:26But just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:48Well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:39:52I still feel like I smoked up the most bad decisions.
00:39:57That jail cell.
00:39:59That was worse than the team locker room after two days in the dead of August.
00:40:07When we get home, I need a shower.
00:40:09Like, an exorcism level shower.
00:40:12Just don't use all the hot water, please.
00:40:34I can go.
00:40:35Go.
00:40:39You know there's eight bathrooms in the house, right?
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:44But this one's the one's.
00:40:46I do.
00:40:47I do.
00:40:48I do.
00:40:49I do.
00:40:50I do.
00:40:50I do.
00:40:51I do.
00:40:51I do.
00:40:59I do.
00:41:00I do.
00:41:06I do.
00:41:15I do.
00:41:16I do.
00:41:17I do.
00:41:18I do.
00:41:19I do.
00:41:19I do.
00:41:20I do.
00:41:20I do.
00:41:21I do.
00:41:21I do.
00:41:21I do.
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?
00:42:03Gus! What a pleasant surprise.
00:42:06Tucker! Listen, hey, I know it's last minute,
00:42:09but I called in a favor and I got you 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.
00:42:19A podcast.
00:42:23Yeah, sure, let's do it.
00:42:27Great.
00:42:27Look, it's also streaming live on YouTube.
00:42:302pm Soundworks downtown. Make me proud.
00:42:33Don't let me down.
00:42:49Mr. Hearsome.
00:42:50They're ready for you in Studio B. Please 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, 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.
00:43:58Hungry.
00:43:58Hm.
00:43:59That's new.
00:44:02A lot of fans are surprised that 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.
00:44:12I'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.
00:44:26A lot of fights.
00:44:27A lot of fights.
00:44:29One 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.
00:44:49Is 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?
00:45:25Tucker, stop.
00:45:26Tucker, wait!
00:45:28Stop!
00:45:29This is a trap!
00:45:31He's not interviewing me. He'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're fired back, you win.
00:45:44If you keep your cool,
00:45:46you walk out of here the guy people root for again.
00:45:49Give me your phone.
00:45:51Trust me.
00:46:00What do you think?
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.
00:46:12I'll stop.
00:46:24I'll stop.
00:46:26All right.
00:46:27We are back.
00:46:28Tucker, you see...
00:46:29Where were you?
00:46:30Please, shoulders down.
00:46:33First question, deflect, then 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
00:46:43if someone laid a hand on a woman in front of me.
00:46:47So, no regrets.
00:46:50No people. Gratitude.
00:46:52This is your growth arc.
00:46:54Give them the headline you want.
00:46:57I've made mistakes, but 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!
00:47:13You 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.
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.
00:47:44terror to head out all up.
00:47:59Oh my life I was looking for a sign.
00:48:05Wasn't sure where to find a piece of mine.
00:48:16Oh, Star, Diane's sleeping with the intern? Now that's a scandal.
00:48:22Tucker, don't!
00:48:24I should knock your teeth out!
00:48:26Try me, Isam. You 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!
00:48:47Leon Rivers. Disgrace NFA Championship MVP.
00:48:51Banned for life for nearly killing a player on the field.
00:48:55Well, I know where he's been hiding.
00:48:57And he is in a new kind of trouble.
00:48:59Indeed, with the betting sidekick.
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. No 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.
00:49:37Pure major, crisis comms.
00:49:39This case is textbook, fame, violence, media spin, total brain meltdown.
00:49:43Right now, every ugly detail.
00:49:48Well, you saved my ass.
00:49:51Again, we need to be more careful.
00:49:55Right.
00:49:57You were 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 were just two people who were forced to be on the same team.
00:50:06Understood.
00:50:08I'm late for breakfast.
00:50:10You can take a newbie back to the office.
00:50:18Hello?
00:50:20So, my own daughter sold me out.
00:50:24You're going to be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
00:50:39You've got a charity event tonight?
00:50:437 p.m., 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're made 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.
00:51:50You 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.
00:52:08Last minute assignment.
00:52:09Charity 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.
00:52:18You 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.
00:52:26I tried to get you to crack, but you didn't.
00:52:28This is not the story you want him to.
00:52:31It's becoming clear.
00:52:33Whatever 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.
00:53:11Because tonight, we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:25That's right, folks.
00:53:27Tonight's prize isn't a vintage bottle of Chateau Margaux.
00:53:30It's a dinner date with the city's finest.

00:53:37First up, you know him.

00:54:02I'm Ponchu, 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.

00:54:20I guess I'm all 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

00:55:24Does everyone know why you'd be cost a bit of time until they get you?

00:56:25$2,000. $2,500. Do I hear three?
00:56:32Okay.
00:56:34I'm fine.
00:56:36Do I hear five? Right here. $5,000. Going once. Going twice. $10,000.
00:56:51Well, well. $10,000 from Miss Jules Lancaster.
00:56:59Do I hear $11,000? $10,000 going once.
00:57:03Going twice. Sold.
00:57:08Better cancel your plans, Tucky. You're mine tonight.
00:57:26You 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. That's it.
00:57:43Sorry. That was a bad joke. I was just trying to lighten the mood.
00:57:47He didn't even look back.
00:57:49Maybe he did. Maybe 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,
00:58:03I'm still a pretty good listener.
00:58:05You sure you're not just trying to get the next exclusive on Tucker?
00:58:08Not tonight.
00:58:12Just one drink.
00:58:14Just one.
00:58:19To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:23Good to old friends.
00:58:35Bye.
00:58:42Bye.
00:58:43Bye.
00:58:43Bye.
00:58:43Bye.
00:58:44Bye.
00:58:45Bye.
00:58:53Well, I hit fast.
00:58:56Are you okay?
00:58:57Um, I just, uh, I think I need to lay down.
00:59:02All right, come on.
00:59:03There's a quiet room just off to the lobby.
00:59:05I'll take you there.
00:59:07Okay.
00:59:16What are you doing?
00:59:27I miss you, Sammy.

01:03:39That can't be good.
01:03:49Gus, you been online today?
01:03:51No way.
01:03:53You fucked up, Nelson.
01:03:55I told you, it was just a matter of time.
01:03:58Oh my god.
01:04:05What 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, so 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.
01:05:10I'm 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.
01:05:25If you walk out that door, they win.
01:05:53What the hell do you want from me?
01:05:54Listen 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.
01:06:32They're coming for you.
01:06:33And him.
01:06:42This is because of your mistakes.
01:06:46Again.
01:06:47You killed everything.
01:06:49Your money.
01:06:50Your career.
01:06:52Your 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.
01:07:07You 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.
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?
01:07:38Publicly take the ball for the video.
01:07:40Say it was you who seduced him.
01:07:42He 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.
01:08:00For a man you've never even met.
01:08:02I'm going to make it to next Monday.
01:08:04With a pulse.
01:08:14The team's holding the press conference tomorrow.
01:08:17You won't let them down, sweetheart.
01:08:34I'm sorry about your leaked tape.
01:08:37I can't imagine who would have had a reason to do something so awful.
01:08:41You think this is a game?
01:08:42I think it's a business.
01:08:44And you're not exactly MVP material these days.
01:08:49You set me up.
01:08:53I gave you an out.
01:08:55But you chose her.
01:08:57You torched my career.
01:09:00Please.
01:09:01You were holding a lit match the entire time.
01:09:03I 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 going to drag someone through the mud,
01:09:42make 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,
01:09:58it 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,
01:10:09and 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.
01:10:29You're up.
01:10:31You 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.
01:11:00Samira, please.
01:11:03You were always worth the risk.
01:11:08So...
01:11:10You're saying this was a...
01:11:13personal failing on your part?
01:11:16Yes.
01:11:17And I'll accept the consequences.
01:11:20Just don't make Tucker your scapegoat.
01:11:27Then, as far as the Sentinels are concerned,
01:11:32this matter is resolved.
01:11:35Tucker Newsome...
01:11:37...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 it measured against his mistakes?
01:12:05No.
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.
01:12:22He 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 not.
01:12:42You lied to him to kill me.
01:12:44I'm not your accountability partner anymore.
01:12:47Besides.
01:12:48You need to focus on the playoffs.
01:12:51No.
01:12:52Screw 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.
01:13:29I 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.
01:13:59He 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're gonna beat it.
01:14:07That 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.
01:14:50Did you bring it?
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 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.
01:16:02The fuck we 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.
01:16:10You lied.
01:16:11You said they'd kill us if Tucker didn't play.
01:16:14You believed it, didn't you?
01:16:16But that's no 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.

01:19:32Tucky-Fu!
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.
01:19:43Tucker 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.
01:20:33A little piece of applause.
01:20:36All the wonders of the date post.
01:20:40You're going for you.
01:20:42To the next.
01:20:44To the next day.

01:20:44You're going for him to let us know you're going for me.
01:20:45I'm just going for you.
01:20:48You
