00:00:01Three seconds left on the clock.
00:00:04Boo! Boo!
00:00:22Touchdown, Tucker Newsome.
00:00:26God damn it!
00:00:30This is your fault! Your jeeks!
00:00:33Walking curse, I should have known when your mother left.
00:00:36Bad luck's in your bones!
00:00:39What do you mean, my fault?
00:00:41Wait.
00:00:43Then 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?
00:01:09Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:01:12Leon the Hitman Rivers?
00:01:16The linebacker paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:01:22A man who is 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 know?
00:01:40You're my flesh and blood.
00:01:44The pizza's cold.
00:01:46What the-
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.
00:02:01This is my fault.
00:02:03Get the hell out of my house!
00:02:05Don't bother for the back, you grateful little bitch!
00:02:14If the Sentinels ever find out who I really am, I'll be blacklisted forever.
00:02:19I have to hide my identity.
00:02:21At any cost.
00:02:28To the haters!
00:02:35You'll lose some!
00:02:39You suck!
00:02:48Oh!
00:02:52You suck!
00:02:57He's a mess.
00:02:59But messes make headlines.
00:03:02And 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.
00:03:46Damn.
00:03:48You tackle harder than half the league.
00:03:51Tucker, 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 reads like a good fact at all.
00:04:05Sponsor C is radioactive.
00:04:09So I'm guessing that's a hard no on the autograph then.
00:04:13But if we pivot now, lean into redemption, vulnerability, carefully curing a comeback, you're not just back in the league.
00:04:21You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:25Samir.
00:04:27Richard.
00:04:29Um.
00:04:30PR.
00:04:30Intern.
00:04:30Well shit.
00:04:32Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:35Welcome to the team.
00:04:37Intern.
00:04:54She just called me.
00:04:56Radio app.
00:05:07Well, well.
00:05:09You must be the charity hire.
00:05:11I'm Samir.
00:05:12Uh-huh.
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, lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you want.
00:05:44Also, those shoes.
00:05:46Trach it.
00:05:53No, no, no.
00:05:54Wait!
00:05:58Let's go!
00:06:00Let's go!
00:06:02Let's go!
00:06:02Let's go!
00:06:03Let's go!
00:06:03We are blue.
00:06:05To have Tucker here.
00:06:06With 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-uh.
00:06:36Please, don'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?
00:07:01Excuse me?
00:07:03What do you say, partner?
00:07:13Hey, intern.
00:07:15Slow down.
00:07:18You 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.
00:07:53I'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.
00:08:21My job isn't to follow you around with duct tape and a fire extinguisher.
00:08:26But that actually sounds pretty fun.
00:08:29I am serious.
00:08:31So am I.
00:08:32We want the same thing.
00:08:33You keep me clean, you look like a PR genius.
00:08:36Win-win.
00:08:40And if you don't?
00:08:42We both go down.
00:08:57Hello?
00:08:59Saw you on the TV.
00:09:01New job, new clothes, new name.
00:09:06And suddenly you act like we're done.
00:09:09You don't get to erase me.
00:09:12We're not finished, Samira.
00:09:14Not even close.
00:09:16Close.
00:09:22Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:26You 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, honey.
00:09:43I see what you're up to.
00:09:47But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:52Bombshells and 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.
00:10:01You 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 paws.
00:10:24And you, you'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for day-old Taco Bell.
00:10:30Oh.
00:10:30You finished?
00:10:32Oh, I am just getting started.
00:10:35Hey, intern.
00:10:39I almost forgot.
00:10:42Tucky Poo.
00:10:43Hi.
00:10:44We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:50There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:53Thought you could keep me accountable.
00:11:01Thought you could wear this.
00:11:04I'm not an escort.
00:11:06I know.
00:11:07More like a chakra.
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.
00:11:33You're gonna stand there all night?
00:11:40Oh.
00:11:56Well, damn, intern, remind me to pick out all your outfits from home.
00:12:04Remind yourself to check the price tag next time.
00:12:06This 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.
00:12:30This is strictly a business.
00:12:54We're gonna be late.
00:13:07Dr. Newsome, he's a locker room liability.
00:13:11He's not here to win games.
00:13:12He's here to keep TMZ in business.
00:13:21It'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, locker room cancer, walking headline.
00:13:40If you could screw it, might as well just live up to the rep.
00:13:45And now?
00:13:46I don't know who the hell I'm trying to be, but I do know that if I mess up, it's
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, P.R. Rehab.
00:14:27She won't last long.
00:14:34Good heavens, my town.
00:14:39That's the commissioner's wife.
00:14:43That's why charity cases like her stay behind the rope.
00:15:04That's why charity cases like her stay behind the rope.
00:15:07Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:13She's clearly overwhelmed.
00:15:15She doesn't belong in these settings.
00:15:16I tried to tell you.
00:15:18Well, this is your idea, Mason.
00:15:20Fix it, or I'll pull your contract.
00:15:23I'll resign.
00:15:25She's not going anywhere.
00:15:30You said I need to handle her.
00:15:32I chose her.
00:15:34She goes, I go.
00:15:39You're seriously gonna jeopardize your comeback.
00:15:41For an intern.
00:15:44What can I say?
00:15:46I thrive on chaos.
00:15:55Hey, wait up!
00:15:59Michael, sorry.
00:16:02We have to substitute them.
00:16:16Rivers.
00:16:22The
00:16:30Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:32Do they know who you're the daughter of? Leon, the Hitman Nurse? The linebacker who paralyzed
00:16:42their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:16:46If 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
00:16:59to her. Sure. Makes sense. As long as you're not secretly in witness protection or something.
00:17:12Can I walk you to your car? I, uh, forgot something. You go ahead. I'll see you
00:17:20tomorrow.
00:17:20Mm-hm.
00:17:23I'll see you.
00:17:43Hello?
00:17:44Hello?
00:17:54Oh.
00:18:00Oh. Sorry.
00:18:06I didn't see anything.
00:18:09Okay. You can cry, or you can suck it up and pretend you still have a career, and your
00:18:16dignity.
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.
00:18:37Pack your things.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40You moving in. With me.
00:18:43Tucker, no. That's not...
00:18:4524-7 means 24-7. You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:18:52It's more like a haunted boiler room. I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:18:59It's not bidding. It's just practical. You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting
00:19:05in a team locker room.
00:19:06I don't want to make it.
00:19:19Wow.
00:19:19It's a muck.
00:19:21Your room is down the hall, first door on the left. Make yourself at home, but don't
00:19:27touch anything in the fridge labeled TM. That means it's mine.
00:19:31Thanks. I can spell.
00:19:33Well, then we're going to get along great, roommate.
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 sneaking around like it.
00:20:11Or I couldn't.
00:20:13I wasn't sneaking.
00:20:15I was...
00:20:17Hydrating.
00:20:25You could really use some better snacks.
00:20:27Take the cat.
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...
00:20:49You're...
00:20:50Weaking.
00:20:51Sweat.
00:20:52You're...
00:20:53It's...
00:20:53Distracting.
00:20:56I'll try to be less distracted.
00:21:04Look.
00:21:05If we're going to live together, we should probably set some ground goals.
00:21:10Was I a bad boy?
00:21:13Rule 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.
00:21:29And no 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, if it starts getting in the way of the work, I walk.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:53I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:56I believe you.
00:22:15I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:22:17Good night.
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?
00:22:49Aw.
00:22:51I mean, don't feel bad.
00:22:53We all play our cards.
00:22:55Some guys 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 is breathe running her direction again.
00:23:39The only person you're gonna be doing PR for on this team is the master.
00:23:43You can't possibly be taking her side.
00:23:46You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:23:48Save it, Jules.
00:23:49The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:23:55This isn't over.
00:24:00What are you waiting for?
00:24:02Go!
00:24:03Go!
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.
00:24:38Be Applause.
00:24:51Boom.
00:24:52Go!
00:24:53Go!
00:24:54Go!
00:24:56Go!
00:24:58Go!
00:24:59Go!
00:24:59Go!
00:25:00Go!
00:25:00Go!
00:25:03Go!
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.
00:25:47You'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.
00:26:17Guess so.
00:26:33Pack your bags.
00:26:35Excuse me?
00:26:37We've got a game in Vegas.
00:26:38Sunday.
00:26:39Team plan leads in an hour.
00:26:40I need you with me.
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.
00:27:14Hotel was over booked.
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.
00:27:40A couple 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.
00:28:09Go put on swaths.
00:28:10I'm ordering room service.
00:28:12You are getting hot tea and a 9 p.m. bedtime.
00:28:16And what if I misbehave?
00:28:17Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:19And not be all right.
00:28:35What?
00:28:37What?
00:28:38You just accomplished something.
00:28:42Oh.
00:29:00What 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 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 probably just get used to it.
00:29:44Great.
00:29:45Now I have to sleep in the same room as his house.
00:30:14I could get used to waking up like this.
00:30:16But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:19Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:30:20Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:32So, that was a fun single.
00:30:34Cool.
00:30:35You slept.
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:37Won'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.
00:31:03You'd eat drywall actually has a surprisingly good vino acid.
00:31:09Samira.
00:31:10Didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:31:14Eli, what are you doing here?
00:31:17Who are you?
00:31:18I'm her ex.
00:31:27Oh no.
00:31:28If Eli reveals who my dad is, that's it.
00:31:32Game over.
00:31:33Eli, I didn't know you were covering this game.
00:31:37Yeah, I got bumped up from the podcast to on camera this week.
00:31:41I guess I finally impressed someone.
00:31:43What are you doing here?
00:31:45I've been training for the Sentinels.
00:31:48Working with Tucker.
00:31:51What?
00:31:52You got a problem with that?
00:31:54No.
00:31:55Not at all.
00:31:55I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:32:01Wow.
00:32:02And they let you be on camera with that personality.
00:32:04Coming from a guy whose entire personality is catchers balls.
00:32:12Okay boys, I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:32:19We should get something.
00:32:21You know, honestly, I'm surprised that you even mentioned 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 about 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.
00:33:06I was trying to control the story.
00:33:08That is literally my job.
00:33:20Club's already hopping.
00:33:27Going out?
00:33:32Some 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, intern.
00:34:23Tried not to get recognized every fight, babe?
00:34:26No promises.
00:34:28Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:30Braitha.
00:34:32Do you dance or would that be too much fun?
00:34:35Depends.
00:34:35Are you going to try something stupid?
00:34:38Almost definitely.
00:34:43Stop.
00:34:56Tucker Newsom.
00:34:57Can I have your autograph?
00:34:59Give me two seconds.
00:35:01Jill, 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 you.
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.
00:35:44Not cool.
00:35:45What the hell?
00:35:46I'm going to have to call unnecessary roughness on that fight.
00:35:50Apologize to her.
00:35:51Screw you.
00:35:53One, two.
00:36:00You okay?
00:36:02Hey!
00:36:03That's where I can see them.
00:36:06Yeah.
00:36:07And that is what you call assault.
00:36:11You got to be kidding me.
00:36:12It was self-defense.
00:36:14Now!
00:36:20Wait.
00:36:22Don't I know you?
00:36:22You bailed your old man out of his slammer.
00:36:25Like father, like daughter.
00:36:28Samira.
00:36:29What is he talking about?
00:36:47The linebacker who paralyzed their MVP with a dirty hit.
00:36:52Like 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.
00:37:12It would be a pretty good story to tell the kids stuff at once.
00:37:15Hmm.
00:37:19Video 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 a lost cause?
00:37:35No.
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.

00:57:37He's not my fake anything.
00:57:39We worked together. That's it.
00:57:42Sorry. 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.
00:57:50Maybe he just missed it.
00:57:52We 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 tonight, 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.
00:58:19To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:32To old friends, new beginnings.

00:58:57Um, I just, uh, I think I need to lay down.
00:59:02All right. Come on. There's a quiet room just off to the lobby. I'll take you there.
00:59:07Wait.
00:59:16What are you doing?
00:59:27I miss you, Sammy.
00:59:29We were so good together.
00:59:30Stop!
00:59:31It can be like when we first met.
00:59:34We couldn't keep our hands off each other.
00:59:36No!
00:59:38Get your hands off!
00:59:42What the hell?
00:59:43We were in the middle of something.
00:59:45Tucker?
00:59:47You sick son of a bitch!
00:59:55Chuck.
01:00:19What?
01:00:21What happened?
01:00:23You were drugged.
01:00:24Eli.
01:00:25What 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.
01:00:48Once.
01:00:50Let's go.
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.
01:01:55It was great.
01:01:57An embarrassment.
01:01:59He torched his career, hurt people, dragged the game through the mud.
01:02:04That guy makes me sick.
01:02:09Sorry.
01:02:10You were saying?
01:02:13She said he's a cautionary tale.
01:02:17And I 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.
01:02:34We're making a mistake.
01:02:38Maybe.
01:02:40Just mind the mag.
01:02:59This is so beautiful.
01:03:23You ready to experience greatness?
01:03:25My protein and smoothie special thing.
01:03:28Just promise me you're not going to start making me do push-ups.
01:03:39That can't be good.
01:03:49Gus, you've been online today?
01:03:51No way.
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.
01:04:05What the hell is this?
01:04:08How?
01:04:08I don't understand.
01:04:34Maybe he'll think twice before blowing me off this time.
01:04:40You're 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.
01:04:54This 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.
01:05:25You walk out that door, they win.
01:05:27Sometimes we need to find that to bring her down.
01:05:53What the hell do you want from me?
01:05:55Sit down.
01:05:59You just signed your old man's death will belt.
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'd kill me.
01:06:23That's not my problem.
01:06:25It is now.
01:06:27Because if I go down, they're not just coming for me.
01:06:31They're coming for you and him.
01:06:42This is because of your mistakes.
01:06:46Again.
01:06:47You killed me through 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.
01:07:03That I am better than your screw-ups.
01:07:06You 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.
01:07:25No one handed it to me.
01:07:27And I sure as hell didn't gamble it away.
01:07:31You 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.
01:07:47You manipulated him.
01:07:50Whatever it takes.
01:07:52Just clear his name.
01:07:54Get him back in the field.
01:07:57You want me to destroy my reputation
01:07:59for a man you've never even met.
01:08:02I'm going to make it to next Monday
01:08:04with a pulse.
01:08:13The team's holding the press conference tomorrow.
01:08:17Don't let them down, sweetheart.
01:08:34So sorry about your leaked tape.
01:08:37I can't imagine who would have had a reason
01:08:39to 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.
01:08:57You torched my career.
01:08:59Please.
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
01:09:14takes its code of conduct very seriously.
01:09:18After reviewing the footage
01:09:20and the timeline
01:09:21of the events
01:09:22we've reached a decision
01:09:24regarding Mr. Newsom's future
01:09:26with the team.
01:09:28Effective immediately
01:09:40If you're going to drag someone
01:09:41through the mud
01:09:42make 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
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
01:10:06and I lied about who I was.
01:10:08I let things get personal
01:10:09and I compromised my role
01:10:11with this organization.
01:10:15I tried to keep things professional.
01:10:18I didn't.
01:10:20So if anyone should face
01:10:21the consequences for what happened...
01:10:26It's me.
01:10:29Samira, please.
01:10:31You don't have to do this.
01:10:33Yes, I do.
01:10:36You saved me that night
01:10:37in more ways than one.
01:10:40I won't let you lose everything
01:10:42for doing the right thing.
01:10:46We all say we want players
01:10:47who are good men,
01:10:49who protect women,
01:10:50who stand up when it counts.
01:10:51And that is exactly
01:10:53what Tucker Newsom did.
01:10:56And I won't let that get buried
01:10:57under spin and scandal.
01:11:01Samira, please.
01:11:02You were always worth the risk.
01:11:08So...
01:11:09You'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.
01:11:26Then as far as
01:11:28the Sentinels are concerned...
01:11:32this matter is resolved.
01:11:35Tucker Newsom
01:11:37has officially been cleared
01:11:39to 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
01:12:02and have every choice I make
01:12:03get measured against his mistakes?
01:12:04No.
01:12:06But I thought you trusted me
01:12:07enough to tell me.
01:12:08I do trust you.
01:12:11I'm sorry.
01:12:13Well, you didn't have to
01:12:14take the fall for me.
01:12:17Yes, I did.
01:12:18My father called.
01:12:21He's a date.
01:12:22It owes money to people
01:12:22you don't want to owe.
01:12:24And they found out
01:12:26that he has a daughter
01:12:26who works with a pro athlete.
01:12:29With you.
01:12:33You lied to save me.
01:12:37Yes, we're even now.
01:12:41You don't have to kill me.
01:12:43I'm not your accountability
01:12:45partner anymore.
01:12:47Besides,
01:12:48you need to focus
01:12:49on the playoffs.
01:12:51No.
01:12:52Screw that.
01:12:59What now?
01:13:02Hello?
01:13:03I was about that.
01:13:05She actually bought it.
01:13:08All I had to say
01:13:09was that they kill me
01:13:10and boom!
01:13:12She's on the podium!
01:13:15I don't...
01:13:15Your piece of shit
01:13:16dad 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
01:13:32my whole life.
01:13:35He sold you out,
01:13:36Samira.
01:13:37He lied to you.
01:13:39He used your love
01:13:40like leverage.
01:13:42I gave up
01:13:43everything
01:13:44for him.
01:13:45My name,
01:13:46my job,
01:13:47my future.
01:13:48And you saved mine.
01:13:51That has to count
01:13:52for something.
01:13:55It has to count
01:13:56for more
01:13:57than that.
01:13:58He thinks he wins
01:14:00just because
01:14:00you're clear to play.
01:14:02Because I let him
01:14:03back me into a corner.
01:14:05But we're gonna beat him
01:14:07at his own game.
01:14:09How?
01:14:12If I know one thing
01:14:13about Leon Rivers,
01:14:15he loves to hear
01:14:16himself talk.
01:14:18so we get him
01:14:19talking.
01:14:40You sure about this?
01:14:42No,
01:14:43but I'm doing it anyway.
01:14:54We'll record everything.
01:14:56Clean feed.
01:14:58My team back at the studio
01:14:59will record it all.
01:15:02And you're sure
01:15:03it won't glitch.
01:15:04This has to work.
01:15:05It will.
01:15:09I know
01:15:09I can't make right
01:15:10what I did.
01:15:13I'm really ashamed.
01:15:14I'm so sorry.
01:15:16You're just lucky
01:15:17I didn't press charges.
01:15:20I'm even luckier
01:15:21that I didn't beat you
01:15:21to death
01:15:22in that hotel room.
01:15:25You're alive.
01:15:33He's here.
01:15:36All right.
01:15:38Showtime.
01:15:57You're late.
01:15:59You're disgusting.
01:16:02What the fuck
01:16:02we even do in here?
01:16:03Huh?
01:16:04You still bitter
01:16:04after everything
01:16:06I taught you?
01:16:07You have never
01:16:08been your real father to me.
01:16:10You threatened me?
01:16:10You lied?
01:16:11You said they'd kill us
01:16:12if Tucker didn't play.
01:16:14You believed it,
01:16:15didn't you?
01:16:16That's what the matter.
01:16:18You used me.
01:16:20I survived.
01:16:22Same as always.
01:16:24Boy,
01:16:24you're not going to
01:16:25survive this.
01:16:27Sweetheart,
01:16:28the League already
01:16:29bought you
01:16:29a little confession.
01:16:30Your golden boy's
01:16:31back in uniform.
01:16:33And me?
01:16:36I'm sitting on
01:16:37the payout of a lifetime.
01:16:39You should be
01:16:40thanking me.
01:16:41Almost everything
01:16:42because of you.
01:16:44Same kind of saying.
01:16:46But you kept
01:16:48the team's biggest
01:16:49offensive weapon
01:16:50on the field.
01:16:51Everybody wins.
01:16:54I just better
01:16:55pray that your
01:16:56boyfriend delivers
01:16:57because if the
01:16:59signals lose today,
01:17:02it won't just be
01:17:03my head on a
01:17:04chopping block.
01:17:05It'll be yours too.
01:17:07It sounded an awful
01:17:08lot like a threat
01:17:09to me.
01:17:11It's not a threat.
01:17:13It's a promise.
01:17:18Yes!
01:17:19We got him.
01:17:21We got him.
01:17:23Hello, police.
01:17:25I need to report
01:17:26a crime.
01:17:27The sentinels
01:17:28are down by three.

01:18:51You don't understand if it's my life you can go get into it!
01:18:55I did what I had to do!
01:18:57You are doing what you always do!
01:18:59Crying, cheating, 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!
01:19:17Run to our left!
01:19:18No let me go!
01:19:22Nice hit!
01:19:23Blind side blitz?
01:19:25Never saw me coming home.
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.
01:19:44Tucker knew some.
01:19:48Congratulations.
01:19:50I was wrong about you.
01:19:52And you.
01:19:53You'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 don't know what to say.
01:20:07Just say you'll show up Monday with a smile on your face.
01:20:11I will.
01:20:14This is a mistake!
01:20:22You know...
01:20:24I was thinking...
01:20:26Maybe you could be my permanent accountability partner.
01:20:31Okay...
01:20:31Yep...
01:20:32You were yours.
01:20:33You didn't know what to say.
01:20:42No time in the world, now I just need more.
