00:14:34bad boy
00:14:36locker room cancer

00:15:19well that's gonna take long
00:15:24that's his intern p.r rehab
00:15:27she won't last long
00:15:34you're not the only one
00:15:35good heavens my film
00:15:38that's the commissioner's one
00:15:43that's why charity cases like hers stayed behind the rope
00:15:46hey
00:16:05care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology
00:16:09and a new dress for his wife.
00:16:12She's clearly overwhelmed.
00:16:14She doesn't belong in these settings.
00:16:16I tried to tell you.
00:16:17What is this your idea, Mason?
00:16:19Fix it or I'll pull your contract.
00:16:22I'll resign.
00:16:24She's not going anywhere.
00:16:29You said I need to handle her.
00:16:32I chose her.
00:16:33She goes, I go.
00:16:38You're seriously going to jeopardize your comeback
00:16:40for an intern.
00:16:44What can I say?
00:16:45I thrive on chaos.
00:16:54Hey, wait up!
00:16:58Michael, sorry.
00:17:02We have to stop doing that.
00:17:18I thought your last name was Richards.
00:17:27Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:17:29Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:17:32Leon, the hitman, Rivers.
00:17:36The linebacker paralyzed their lead MVP with a dirty hit.
00:17:42If he finds out, I lose this job, my future, everything.
00:17:47And I am back to waiting tables.
00:17:51Richards is my mom's maiden name.
00:17:53I use it sometimes.
00:17:54I guess it makes me feel closer to her.
00:17:59Sure.
00:18:02Makes sense.
00:18:04As long as you're not secretly in witness protection or something.
00:18:10Can I walk you to your car?
00:18:13I, uh, forgot something.
00:18:15You go ahead.
00:18:16I'll see you tomorrow.
00:18:17Mm-hmm.
00:18:40Hello?
00:18:41Hello?
00:18:52Oh.
00:18:58Oh, sorry.
00:19:03I didn't see anything.
00:19:06Okay, you can cry or you can suck it up
00:19:10and pretend you still have a career and your dignity.
00:19:13Please, you practically saw my credit score.
00:19:19Uh, how long?
00:19:23It's just, I got kicked out of my house.
00:19:32Yeah, pack your things.
00:19:35What?
00:19:36You moving in with me.
00:19:40Tucker, no, that's not-
00:19:4124-7 means 24-7.
00:19:44You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:19:48It's more like a haunted boiler room.
00:19:52I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:19:55It's not pity.
00:19:57It's just practical.
00:19:59You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting
00:20:01in a team locker room.
00:20:14I need to stop.
00:20:15I need to stop, I need to go.
00:20:17Your room is down the hall, first door on the left.
00:20:21Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in the fridge
00:20:24labeled TN, that means it's mine.
00:20:27Thanks.
00:20:28I can smell.
00:20:29Well, then we're gonna get along great, Rumi.
00:20:57Oh, Jesus.
00:20:59Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:21:02It's my house.
00:21:04You're the one sneaking around like a raccoon.
00:21:08I wasn't sneaking.
00:21:10I was... hydrating.
00:21:20You could really use some better snacks.
00:21:23Check the cab.
00:21:25I wasn't staring, by the way.
00:21:28I never said you were.
00:21:30Good.
00:21:31Because I wasn't.
00:21:40Still not staring?
00:21:43Uh, you're leaking.
00:21:47Sweat, you're up.
00:21:48It's distracting.
00:21:52I'll try to be less distracting.
00:21:59Look, if we're gonna live together, we should probably set some ground rules.
00:22:04Was I a bad boy?
00:22:05Rule one.
00:22:09Shirts.
00:22:12I feel targeted.
00:22:15Rule two.
00:22:16No flirting.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:21So, shirts are mandatory.
00:22:24And no flirting.
00:22:26Anything else?
00:22:28I need this job.
00:22:31I need this job.
00:22:31I don't have a backup plan or a trust fund or a safety net.
00:22:35So, this thing, whatever it is, if it starts getting in the way of the work, I walk.
00:22:46Okay.
00:22:48I mean it, Tucker.
00:22:50I believe you.
00:23:08I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:23:11Good night.
00:23:27Well, if it isn't PowerPoint Barbie.
00:23:32How is our resident accountability partner?
00:23:35Or wait, is it, um, handler with benefits?
00:23:43Aww.
00:23:44I mean, don't feel bad.
00:23:47We all play our part.
00:23:49Some of us cheer from the sidelines.
00:23:52Others just, um, warm the bench.
00:23:57Just doing my part to disinfect the desperation.
00:24:03Skank.
00:24:25You good?
00:24:30You so much as breathe wrong in her direction again.
00:24:32The only person you're gonna be doing PR for on this team is the mascot.
00:24:36You can't possibly be taking her side.
00:24:39You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:24:41Save it, Jules.
00:24:42The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:24:49No way.
00:24:53Where does nobody ever get rich and bitterness?
00:24:54are you waiting for? Go,
00:24:56walk. Walk!
00:25:08Let's
00:25:08get you changed out of that shirt.
00:25:26What are you doing?
00:25:27Giving you something dry to wear.
00:25:45What are you doing?
00:26:12I can fight my own battles.
00:26:19I know, but sometimes it's nice to know you don't have to.
00:26:25Well, thanks.
00:26:30You uh, you wear that dangerously well.
00:26:39Careful, you're getting awfully close to flirting.
00:26:43I thought that was against the rules.
00:26:46It is.
00:26:47I guess that's our cue.
00:27:08Yeah.
00:27:10Guess so.
00:27:24Pack your bags.
00:27:28Excuse me?
00:27:29We've got a game in Vegas.
00:27:30Sunday.
00:27:31Team plan leaves in an hour.
00:27:34I need you with me.
00:27:35Vegas?
00:27:36City.
00:27:37Neon.
00:27:38Nightclubs.
00:27:39Available tattoos.
00:27:40If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:27:45I can handle the bright lights.
00:27:47I can handle the pressure.
00:27:49But if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:28:01Could I get the key to my room?
00:28:02Forgot to tell you.
00:28:04Hotel was overbooked.
00:28:06Just one room.
00:28:16I'll take the king, you can take the couch.
00:28:19Generous.
00:28:22I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:28:24Hmph.
00:28:25Okay.
00:28:25I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:28:29Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:28:31Couple of drinks.
00:28:32Blackjack.
00:28:33Just team bonding.
00:28:35Team bonding.
00:28:36Is that what we're calling it now?
00:28:42You are not going anywhere.
00:28:48Oh, really?
00:28:49You're locking me in now?
00:28:51If that's what it takes.
00:28:58Go put on sweats.
00:28:59I'm ordering room service.
00:29:00You are getting hot tea and a 9pm bedtime.
00:29:04And what if I misbehaved?
00:29:06Then I'll have to punish you.
00:29:08And not in a fun way.
00:29:23What?
00:29:26You just got a little something.
00:29:30Oh.
00:29:34What?
00:29:38You just got a little something.
00:29:47What is it?
00:29:50Just the guys checking in.
00:29:52You should probably get some sleep.
00:29:57The glitter pit?
00:30:00You win the game tomorrow.
00:30:01You are not going to a strip club.
00:30:03And what are you going to do?
00:30:04Stay up all night keeping watch on me?
00:30:07I will if I have to.
00:30:10Suit yourself.
00:30:15Oh.
00:30:16And just so you know.
00:30:22This is how he sleeps.
00:30:23You should probably just get used to the view.
00:30:31Great.
00:30:32Now I have to sleep in the same room as his abs.
00:31:01I could get used to waking up like this.
00:31:03But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:31:05Or the last name I'm hiding, which is exactly why I can't.
00:31:17So...
00:31:18That was a fun sleepover.
00:31:21We slept. That's it.
00:31:24It won't happen again.
00:31:40There's a breakfast buffet. Heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:31:45You'd eat drywall if it had enough protein in it.
00:31:49Drywall actually has a surprisingly good renal acid profile.
00:31:55Samira, didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:32:00Eli, what are you doing here?
00:32:02Who are you?
00:32:04I'm her ex.
00:32:12Oh no. If Eli reveals who my dad is, that's it. Game over.
00:32:19Eli, I didn't know you were covering this game.
00:32:22Yeah, I got bumped up from the podcast to on camera this week.
00:32:26I guess I finally impressed someone.
00:32:28What are you doing here?
00:32:30I'm interning for the Sentinels.
00:32:33working with Tucker.
00:32:36What? You got a problem with that?
00:32:39No, not at all.
00:32:41I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:32:46Wow. And they let you be on camera with that personality.
00:32:49Coming from a guy whose entire personality is catches ball coaching.
00:32:57Okay, boys. I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:33:05We should get something.
00:33:07You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even let you in the building with your last name.
00:33:24Your ex, always like that?
00:33:26Yeah. He's a huge asshole.
00:33:31And what did he mean? About your last name?
00:33:39Team Bus departs in 15!
00:33:43We've got a game in a few hours. You need to stay focused. No distractions.
00:33:48There you go again. I was trying to control the story.
00:33:51That is literally my job.
00:34:04Club's already hopping.
00:34:11Going out?
00:34:15Uh...
00:34:16Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:34:20Nothing crazy.
00:34:26You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:34:29I don't think so. I'm coming.
00:34:32You want to keep an eye on me, or you just don't want to miss out on some fun?
00:34:42I'm not here to have fun.
00:34:47We'll see about that, intern.
00:35:06Tried not to get recognized every five feet?
00:35:09No promises. Fame is a burden I carry, bravely.
00:35:15Do you dance, or would that be too much fun?
00:35:17Depends.
00:35:19You gonna try something stupid?
00:35:21Almost definitely.
00:35:25Oh my God!
00:35:27No!
00:35:38Tucker Newsome!
00:35:39Tucker Newsome!
00:35:40Can I have your autograph?
00:35:42Give me two seconds.
00:35:44Joe, be right back.
00:35:51You with the tight end?
00:35:54I'm good, thanks.
00:35:56That's not what I asked, sweetheart.
00:35:58I said I'm good.
00:36:00Hey, come on.
00:36:01Don't be like that.
00:36:03I'd like to see your tight end.
00:36:12What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:36:25Hitting a woman. Not cool.
00:36:27What the hell?
00:36:28I'm gonna have to call unnecessary roughness on that play.
00:36:32Apologize, sir.
00:36:33Screw you!
00:36:35Run, sir.
00:36:42You okay?
00:36:44Hey!
00:36:45That's where I can see them.
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:49And that is what you call assault.
00:36:52You got it, McKinney.
00:36:54It was self-defense.
00:36:56Now!
00:37:02Wait.
00:37:03Don't I know you?
00:37:05You bailed your old man out of the slammer.
00:37:08Like father, like daughter.
00:37:10Samira.
00:37:11What is he talking about?
00:37:28The linebacker who paralyzed their league MVP with a dirty hit.
00:37:34Like father, like daughter.
00:37:36My dad had a bit of a temper.
00:37:38He had a road rage incident.
00:37:40Some guy cut him off and he completely lost it.
00:37:45We've all been there.
00:37:48Usually I at least make it to the second date before I end up in jail.
00:37:51This is not a date.
00:37:53It would be a pretty good story to tell the kids though if it weren't.
00:38:00Video gets out of this.
00:38:02I'm finished.
00:38:03I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:38:06It'll turn up somewhere.
00:38:08Good.
00:38:09People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:38:13Do you think I'm the last cause?
00:38:16No.
00:38:18I think you're used to people treating you like one.
00:38:21So you act like you are.
00:38:32Sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:38:36You didn't.
00:38:38I walked right in.
00:38:40Eyes wide open.
00:38:42The birds.
00:38:43You made bail.
00:38:44Right.
00:38:45That's true.
00:38:49Oh!
00:38:49Wow!
00:38:51Look at you two.
00:38:53Just like prom night.
00:38:57Not that you'd know.
00:39:00Jules, how did you-
00:39:01You're welcome, by the way. You'll be out of here in a minute.
00:39:06You, on the other hand, can enjoy your complimentary night in the slammer.
00:39:11What?
00:39:14You're not even under contract with the team. I mean, you're an intern. Now you're a liability.
00:39:21HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:39:25Spoiler alert, you're fired.
00:39:28She was defending herself.
00:39:30And you were defending her, blah blah blah.
00:39:33She's not staying in here.
00:39:35Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so...
00:39:39Okay, then I stay too.
00:39:42Excuse me?
00:39:44If she goes down for this, so do I.
00:39:46You're really willing to blow up your career, your entire future, for her?
00:39:51You're damn right I would.
00:39:53Either both of us walk out of here, or neither of us do.
00:39:58...
00:40:01Fine.
00:40:03Have it your way.
00:40:06But just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:40:24Oh, well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:40:32I still feel like I smell like other people's bad decisions.
00:40:37That jail cell.
00:40:38That was worse than the team locker room after two-a-days in the dead of August.
00:40:46When we get home, I need a shower, like an exorcism level shower.
00:40:52Just, don't use all the hot water, please.
00:41:16You know there's like eight bathrooms in this house, right?
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:23Yeah.
00:41:24But who's the ones?
00:41:24The ones.
00:41:26Adieu.
00:41:27OK.
00:41:28God того.
00:41:46God bless you.
00:41:49Yes.
00:41:52Everything.
00:41:53Absolutely.
00:42:02Oh my god!
00:42:03Jesus!
00:42:04Why did it just turn into a cold plunge?
00:42:07You fancy mansion has a broken water heater?
00:42:11That looks good.
00:42:32It's Gus Marwood, the owner of the team.
00:42:35Why are you whispering?
00:42:40Gus!
00:42:41What a pleasant surprise.
00:42:43Tucker!
00:42:44Listen, hey, I know it's last minute,
00:42:47but I called in a favor and I got you.
00:42:48You booked on the number one football podcast.
00:42:51It'll be great for you to reintroduce yourself to your fans.
00:42:54The new and improved Tucker Newsome.
00:42:57A podcast?
00:43:01Yeah.
00:43:02Sure, let's do it.
00:43:04Great.
00:43:05Look, it's also streaming live on YouTube.
00:43:072PM Soundworks downtown. Make me proud.
00:43:11Don't let me down.
00:43:26Mr. Newsome.
00:43:28They're ready for you in Studio B.
00:43:29Please follow me.
00:43:33Just stick to the talking points.
00:43:35I'll give the internet a reason to cancel you.
00:43:37It's gonna be 45 minutes of softballs.
00:43:39I got this.
00:43:45I'm her ex.
00:43:52And here he is.
00:43:53Right on time.
00:44:10All right, folks, we're live here.
00:44:12Tucker Newsome, two-time Pro Bowler and brand new Seattle Sentinel.
00:44:15Thanks for joining us.
00:44:19Wouldn't miss it, man.
00:44:21Big fan of the pod.
00:44:25Let's get right into it.
00:44:26You've had an interesting couple of years.
00:44:29How would you describe this chapter of your career?
00:44:32Focused.
00:44:33Humble.
00:44:34Hungry.
00:44:34Hmm.
00:44:35That's new.
00:44:38A lot of fans are surprised the Sentinels are taking a chance on you.
00:44:41Some even saying it's a PR stunt.
00:44:43What do you think about that?
00:44:45It's fair?
00:44:46People can say what they want.
00:44:47I'm here to win games.
00:44:51But winning's never been your problem, has it?
00:44:55It's everything that happens off the field.
00:44:58Let's talk about the suspensions.
00:45:01The barf bites, the fines.
00:45:04I mean, one of the most talented tight ends in the league.
00:45:08Also the most volatile.
00:45:09People like to call you the league's favorite cautionary tale.
00:45:13I've made mistakes.
00:45:15I've owned them.
00:45:16And I'm doing the work to be better.
00:45:20So last week at the Vegas nightclub.
00:45:25Was that part of the work?
00:45:31Was that another example of your temper getting the better of you?
00:45:34Thought I was here to talk about football.
00:45:39What?
00:45:43Can we take five?
00:45:59Tucker, stop.
00:46:01Tucker, wait.
00:46:02Stop!
00:46:04This is a trap.
00:46:06He's not interviewing me.
00:46:08He's trying to humiliate me.
00:46:09I know.
00:46:09But that is exactly why you cannot lose it in there.
00:46:12You heard what he said.
00:46:13I did.
00:46:15But if you fire back, he wins.
00:46:19If you keep your cool,
00:46:21you walk out of here the guy people root for again.
00:46:24Give me your phone.
00:46:24What?
00:46:26Trust me.
00:46:35Put this in.
00:46:39I'll sit behind the glass and I'll talk you through it.
00:46:42You don't have to go through this alone.
00:46:45Let me help.
00:47:00Alright, we are back.
00:47:01Tucker and Lisa, where were we?
00:47:04Breathe.
00:47:05Shoulders down.
00:47:06First question, deflect.
00:47:09Then redirect.
00:47:10You asked about Vegas.
00:47:13Yes.
00:47:14There was an incident.
00:47:15And I would do the exact same thing again
00:47:17if someone laid a hand on a woman in front of me.
00:47:21So, no regrets.
00:47:23No pivot.
00:47:25Gratitude.
00:47:26This is your growth arc.
00:47:28Give them the headline you want.
00:47:30I've made mistakes.
00:47:32But I'm learning.
00:47:33And I have people in my life now who push me to be better.
00:47:36Not just as a player, but as a man.
00:47:43He's rattled.
00:47:45Yes.
00:47:46You can keep judging.
00:47:48I'm just gonna keep moving forward.
00:48:04You were incredible in there.
00:48:06You were incredible.
00:48:09We made a pretty good team, didn't we?
00:48:11I could get used to that.
00:48:13What?
00:48:15You.
00:48:17Telling me what to do.
00:48:33All my life I was looking for a sign.
00:48:39Wasn't sure where to find a peace of mind.
00:48:49Oh.
00:48:50Star?
00:48:51Diane's sleeping with the intern?
00:48:53Now that's a scandal.
00:48:56Kepard, don't!
00:48:57I should knock your teeth out!
00:48:59Try me, Nissan.
00:49:00You lay a hand on me.
00:49:02And this isn't just a Franklage story.
00:49:05This is a lawsuit too.
00:49:07If you want a story, I'll give you one.
00:49:10Okay, I'm listening.
00:49:13Get the hell out of my house!
00:49:15And don't bother coming back, you ungrateful little bitch!
00:49:20Leon Rivers.
00:49:21Disgrace NFA Championship MVP.
00:49:24Banned for life for nearly killing a player on the field.
00:49:28Well, I know where he's been hiding.
00:49:30And he is in a new kind of trouble.
00:49:32In deep with the betting syndicate.
00:49:34Big names, big debt.
00:49:38That's quite the scoop.
00:49:41Delete the photos, and you have yourself an exclusive.
00:49:45Deal.
00:49:45No pictures here.
00:49:55What the hell was that?
00:49:57That was me saving your career.
00:49:59No, that was you knowing way too much about Leon Rivers.
00:50:02How?
00:50:06I wrote my senior thesis on him.
00:50:09PR major, crisis comes.
00:50:12This case is textbook, fame, violence, media spin, total brain meltdown.
00:50:16I know every ugly detail.
00:50:20Well, you saved my ass.
00:50:23Again.
00:50:24We need to be more careful.
00:50:27You're right.
00:50:29You were just my accountability partner.
00:50:31That's it.
00:50:32No more late night, heart to hearts.
00:50:34No more mixed signals.
00:50:35We were just two people who were forced to be on the same team.
00:50:38Understood.
00:50:41I'm late for practice.
00:50:42You can take an Uber back to the office.
00:50:51Hello?
00:50:52So, my own daughter sold me out.
00:50:56You're gonna be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
00:51:11You've got a charity event tonight?
00:51:157pm downtown Breast Cancer Awareness.
00:51:18Media will be there.
00:51:19Of course they will be there.
00:51:22Which means I'll be there too.
00:51:24To manage optics.
00:51:26Nothing more.
00:51:27Fine.
00:51:29Good.
00:51:31Great.
00:51:44Smile.
00:51:45Let's try to avoid any controversy tonight.
00:51:49Well, well, well.
00:51:50Look who it is.
00:51:53A golden boy.
00:51:55You clean up nice.
00:51:57Well, I'm committed to turning the page, boss.
00:52:00See how long that lasts.
00:52:02He's actually been nothing but professional.
00:52:04A model representative of the team.
00:52:07So far.
00:52:09We all know it's only a matter of time before he screws up again.
00:52:13Enjoy the evening.
00:52:20I don't believe that.
00:52:22Well, you know what they say.
00:52:23The zebra can't change its stripes.
00:52:28Well, look who it is.
00:52:30Long time no see.
00:52:34Long time no see.
00:52:36Long time no see.
00:52:36I didn't realize you were covering this.
00:52:38Oh yeah, last minute Simon.
00:52:40Charity sentiment overpriced champagne.
00:52:42Plus people love Redemption Arc.
00:52:44I've been watching the numbers on the podcast interview.
00:52:46Higher than any other episode we've done this season.
00:52:49You mean despite your best efforts that baited me into blowing it.
00:52:53That's fair.
00:52:54That's fair. I might have been a little aggressive.
00:52:57Try to get you to crack, but you didn't.
00:52:59Because he's not the story you want him to be.
00:53:01It's becoming clear.
00:53:03Whatever you're doing to rehab his image, it's working.
00:53:07What's your angle?
00:53:08Believe it or not, I know when I've lost.
00:53:11I expected you to be a train wreck and your head is planted right at the station.
00:53:16Ladies and gentlemen.
00:53:19Thank you for joining us tonight in support of breast cancer research.
00:53:24The auction begins shortly.
00:53:26And for the first time ever, we're doing something a little different.
00:53:30Tonight's auction won't feature art or wine or vacation homes.
00:53:34Because tonight we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:41Because tonight we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:45Yeah!
00:53:46Let's go!
00:53:48Woo!

00:53:51Woo!
00:53:52Woo!

00:54:00It's a dinner date with the city's finest.
00:54:03And by fine, we mean really fine.
00:54:07First up, you know him.
00:54:08You love him.
00:54:09He has more touchdowns than the rest this month.
00:54:12Please welcome number 88, Tucker Newsome.
00:54:16Woo!
00:54:19Woo!
00:54:21Welcome Tucker.
00:54:23Looking very handsome.
00:54:24What?
00:54:27Tell us, what makes you the ideal date for one lucky bidder tonight?
00:54:31I'm Ponchu, and I don't check my phone at dinner.
00:54:34Unless it's ESPN.
00:54:36Woo!
00:54:37Woo!
00:54:40A man who's present.
00:54:41We love it.
00:54:43Okay, lightning round.
00:54:45Dine in or take out?
00:54:46Cooking for two.
00:54:48I tried.
00:54:49Tattooed or no?
00:54:51I've got food.
00:54:52All earned.
00:54:56Boxers.
00:54:57Boxers.
00:54:57Or briefs.
00:54:58I guess we'll just have to win the auction to find out.
00:55:04And one last thing before the bidding begins.
00:55:07Ladies, you didn't think we'd let him off the stage without making him work a little harder for it, did
00:55:12you?
00:55:14It is for charity after all.
00:55:16Hit it!
00:55:17Yes, everybody!
00:55:19Good-bye!
00:55:20Good-bye!
00:55:21Good-bye!

00:58:05We work together
00:58:06That's it
00:58:08Sorry, that was a bad joke
00:58:10I was just trying to lighten the mood
00:58:12He didn't even look back
00:58:14Maybe he did
00:58:16Maybe he just missed it
00:58:17He walked right past me
00:58:20Right out the door together
00:58:22You know, if you want to talk
00:58:25Or drink
00:58:26And forget about the night
00:58:28I'm still a pretty good listener
00:58:30Are you sure you're not just trying to get the next exclusive on Tucker?
00:58:35Not tonight
00:58:37Just one drink
00:58:40Just one
00:58:44To old friends, new beginnings
00:59:17All right
00:59:19That hit fast
00:59:21You okay?
00:59:23I just... I think I need to lie down.
00:59:27Alright, come on. There's a quiet room just off to the lobby. I'll take you there.
00:59:41Something's... Something's wrong.
00:59:49Taylor, what are you doing?
00:59:51I miss you, Sammy. We were so good together.
00:59:54Stop!
00:59:55It can be like when we first met.
00:59:58We couldn't keep our hands off each other.
01:00:00No!
01:00:01No!
01:00:02Get your hands off of her!
01:00:06What the hell, man? We're in the middle of something.
01:00:09Tucker?
01:00:11You sick son of a bitch!
01:00:13Oh, man!
01:00:14Oh!
01:00:19I got you.
01:00:42What?
01:00:44What happened?
01:00:45You were drugged.
01:00:48Eli.
01:00:49What about your date with Jules?
01:00:51How did you...
01:00:52Didn't happen.
01:00:53Took her home.
01:00:54Dropped her off.
01:00:55I was just trying to make you jealous.
01:00:59Childish move.
01:01:01But the truth is,
01:01:04there was only one person I was up on that stage stripping for.
01:01:09You came back for me.
01:01:12Always.
01:01:15You came back for me.
01:01:43Morning.
01:01:46Hi.
01:01:54What is it?
01:01:56I shouldn't be here.
01:01:58Too late for that.
01:01:59You are?
01:02:01Just tell him the truth about who you really are.
01:02:04If he cares about you,
01:02:06it won't matter.
01:02:12Decker.
01:02:13Decker.
01:02:14There's something I need to tell you.
01:02:16Leon Rivers.
01:02:18He's...
01:02:18A disgrace.
01:02:20An embarrassment.
01:02:22He torched his career, hurt people,
01:02:24dragged the game through the mud.
01:02:26That guy makes me sick.
01:02:31Sorry.
01:02:32You were saying?
01:02:36Just said...
01:02:37He's a cautionary tale.
01:02:39And I would never want to do anything
01:02:41to jeopardize your comeback.
