TVTranscript
00:01McDonald breaks the tackle! He's at the 20! The 10! Touchdown! The Outloggers are the champions!
00:10He's a god! Tell the media he's a literal god on the turf!
00:14You destroyed them, babe. The MVP is yours. The 100 million contract is yours.
00:19Andrew McDonald, the undisputed king of the gridiron and the NFL's most bankable arrogance.
00:25Andrew, some say without the unseen operations team and a certain invisible hero behind you, the Outlaws wouldn't be here
00:31today.
00:31What do you want to say to the camera?
00:37There are no invisible heroes. I built this dynasty with my own right arm. Everyone else just rides my coat
00:44stales.
00:46Miss Dixon, your last day is Friday. Facilities will deactivate your credential at 6.
00:51Do you want me to know to McDonald before we circulate it to football operations? No.
00:55He relies on you. Everyone in the building knows half his life falls apart when you aren't here.
00:59Maybe give this another thought.
01:01Everyone knows I'm a dedicated operations manager.
01:03Yet no one realizes my three year long marriage to Andrew was only to maintain his public image.
01:08What is more, they have no idea that the recently dismissed director is actually the sole heir to the Dixon
01:13sports business empire.
01:14Three months ago, a severe car crash had left my spine fractured.
01:18I am scheduled for emergency spinal surgery, and a family member needs to sign the consent form.
01:23It was just a wreck. Hold on. I am in the middle of Riley's birthday dinner.
01:32I am in the middle of Riley's birthday.
01:33Riley White. His sports agent. His first love.
01:38Priority shift.
01:41I gave this club three years of my best. We're done.
01:47Back at the base? How's your recovery?
01:50About what happened at the hospital?
01:52My mistake.
01:53I promised Riley I'd be there for her birthday.
01:55She'd be heartbreaking if I lied to her.
01:57I knew the doctors would take good care of you.
01:59Harper. Look good, don't they?
02:08Harper, these were flown in from overseas. Custom order. You almost crushed them.
02:17Andrew. I need your signature on the last page.
02:24Andrew. I'm waiting. Get out here, okay?
02:29Done. Happy? I'm leaving.
02:31By the way, my locker and sponsor gear a mess.
02:33Get someone to sort it before you head out.
02:36I'd loved him for four years, but it all ends here.
02:40I'll keep nothing worth holding onto.
02:45I resolved to contact the Guardian's elite quarterback.
02:49We grew up together, and he was the man Andrew loathed above all others.
02:52Kingston Castro. You mentioned you wanted me, right? I'm ready.
03:01Harper.
03:02Three years ago, you burned every bridge to protect Andrew's image.
03:07You blocked my number, cut off my family, and pushed me entirely out of your sports circle.
03:11Now you're calling?
03:11What?
03:12Did the golden boy finally screw up?
03:15Yeah.
03:16Turns out I backed the wrong quarterback.
03:21Never mind. Just pretend I didn't call. I'm hanging up.
03:23Harper! Don't you dare! Give me a month. I'm flying to Kansas City to get you out myself.
03:29A month is too long. One week. Pick me up next Friday.
03:38I laid my approved resignation letter next to Andrew's signed divorce settlement.
03:42I burned the final photographs to nothing, wiping away the last faint vestige of our marriage.
03:49What are you burning in here?
03:51Just clearing out some garbage.
03:53Before he could check, Riley called him right out.
03:57Harper, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to intrude on your night.
04:01But that picture frame on the console is positioned terribly. It's a hazard. I could have been badly cut.
04:06She's right. That thing is a liability. Harper, call the housekeeper. Have her box it up and put it in
04:11the basement.
04:11The basement is full of your sponsor gear. There's no space.
04:15Andrew, it's stinging. It really hurts.
04:18Then throw it in the fire.
04:20Fine.
04:30Riley had just returned from Europe and hated hotels, so I invited her to stay with us.
04:35I shared the alarm code with her, gave her family clearance for the stadium, and instructed player services to loop
04:39her in on all schedule adjustments.
04:41Sure.
04:43I retreated to the basement to let them have their way.
04:47Harper, stop this. I know you're feeling insecure, but Riley is only crashing here until her condo is rib-aided.
04:52You hate sleeping in the dark. You really think you're gonna last down here?
04:55Look, about the picture. I overreacted.
04:58I'm not throwing a fit. You've been watching film late every night. Sleeping down here means I won't be woken
05:05up.
05:06Suit yourself.
05:08By the way, what was that stack of papers you pushed on me at the facility?
05:11An anniversary present.
05:14Right. It's late. Go to sleep.
05:19Harper Dixon, I know you despise Riley, but you do not play malicious tricks on my agent.
05:27I didn't... I didn't touch her.
05:31Harper, I only drank the water you handed me. I haven't eaten anything else.
05:34I didn't hand you anything.
05:36You grabbed a bottle from the kitchen island. I drank from the same case.
05:41Why am I standing here perfectly fine?
05:44Shut up!
05:50This isn't your first time pulling a stunt like this. We both know exactly what you did three years ago.
05:55A woman with your track record doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.
05:59For the last time, three years ago, I did not drug your drink.
06:06I know I'm ruining your night. I'll deal with the pain myself. Just get out. Leave me alone.
06:13I'm not leaving you.
06:16I'm disappointed in you, Harper.
06:19You drugged her. So whatever happens next is entirely on you.
06:25Andrew, are you blind?
06:27You think I drugged Riley so my own husband could play her personal antidote?
06:32Andrew, just go. Don't worry about me. Let me suffer.
06:37And don't blame Harper. She just...
06:40loves you too much. That's why she did something so awful.
06:44Do you have any shame at all? In my home, holding my husband? Lecturing me?
06:49Did you leave your basic decency in Europe?
06:51Enough! Riley hasn't said one bad word about you, and you've done nothing but attack her.
06:56You don't deserve sympathy.
06:57Since you love drugging people so much, you can stand outside and listen to the consequences.
07:09This is what you asked for. Don't blame anyone but yourself.
07:20From inside the bedroom came muffled sounds. His low groans, her breathless cries.
07:24The rhythmic thud of the heavy headboard against the shared wall.
07:27Skin meeting skin in a relentless agonizing tempo.
07:30This is what loving the wrong man costs.
07:36Andrew, you were too rough last night. I am really sore.
07:39Harper used to get fevers in college. Have the driver take her to urgent care.
07:43You know I am in a sensitive PR position right now.
07:49Mrs. Dixon, you're about 12 weeks pregnant. The pregnancy isn't very stable due to the stress and fever.
07:55I don't want it. Schedule the termination. My husband is cheating. I'm filing for divorce.
08:01About the drugming thing, yeah, you went too far. But I shouldn't have lost my temper. It won't happen again.
08:11Let's leave the past in the past. Let's go.
08:14Three years, and you still haven't learned how to hold his attention. By the way, the drug three years ago?
08:19That was me.
08:20I set up the VIP room. I texted you where he was.
08:24Thanks for keeping his bed warm. But I'm back now. Pack your bags.
08:41Harper, Andrew and I are just friends. That night was a misunderstanding. Please, please don't leak anything to the press.
08:49Harper, what the hell is wrong with you? I already explained everything. Why are you still attacking her?
08:54Sir! Apologize to Riley!
09:00I'm not apologizing.
09:05If we won't do it willingly, then we do this the hard way. Hold her. Make her understand.
09:10If you let them touch me today, you are going to lose everything.
09:14Make her understand.
09:16Sir?
09:17You heard me.
09:21Admit you were wrong.
09:23My body finally gave out, and I collapsed into unconsciousness.
09:32I'm three hours out.
09:34It was Kingston. He'd finally come for me.
09:40Harper Dixon. I'm here to take you home.
09:45What's with all your injuries? Did Andrew do this?
09:48I'll drag him out of his locker room by his throat.
09:55He's not at the house, and I'm not letting you throw away your career to do this for me.
09:59I want that revenge for myself. Kingston, I chose you. That means he's dead to me.
10:05Fine. If you say it, I believe it.
10:07That night, we flew out to Seattle to the Dixon family estate.
10:10Baby, you've suffered out there. Come home. No one in this league gets to hurt you again.
10:15The Dixon family will always be your home. You never have to earn your way back through this door.
10:20For three years, I had swallowed every grievance alone, hiding my family to protect Andrew's fragile ego.
10:25Now, I was back.
10:27Harper?
10:29Harper?
10:33The number you have dialed is not available.
10:36Sir, Mrs. McDonald left this afternoon.
10:38She told me to let you know she prepared your anniversary gift. It's locked in the study safe.
10:47He'd been anticipating something of sentimental value,
10:50yet the first sight that met his eyes erased every trace of confidence from his features.
10:53No handmade gift, only a resignation acknowledgement, and a stack of legal documents.
11:02Andrew, if you are reading this, it means today is the day I am finally gone.
11:06I didn't drug you three years ago. I thought I could change your heart.
11:09I was wrong. From this day forward, we do not exist in each other's lives anymore.
11:14It's blank. It doesn't matter. I didn't sign it!
11:22No. When did I sign this? This has to be a forgery!
11:28Andrew? I'm waiting. Get out here, okay?
11:32Done. Happy? I'm leaving.
11:34This was the anniversary gift?
11:37Harper Dixon, you are ruthless!
11:46We... had a baby?
11:48I'd always longed for a family, yet years of wild parties,
11:50compounded by brutal on-field blows, had rendered that hope very unlikely.
11:54Harper...
11:55Why couldn't you just wait?
12:06The Dixon Group.
12:08The Dixon Group.
12:12The Dixon Group holds sway over my entire business lifeline,
12:15and it is now being severed.
12:18Effective immediately.
12:27Andrew.
12:28Andrew.
12:28Andrew, your PR team and two of your sponsors have been coming at me all day.
12:32I swear they're trying to drive me insane.
12:34Can you go say something to back me up?

14:34dirt will choke you
14:43andrew waived service of summons and refused the division of assets
14:50you should be in bed
14:55why is that here their general manager resigned after the season the search firm has been building a list
15:01for weeks your name was already on it because of your work in dixon sports strategy in kansas city
15:07when they heard you were back they asked whether you would interview
15:12seattle's defensive stats kingston with 47 sacks
15:16i arrived at the guardians facility for my interview
15:20why should we hand an nfl roster to someone whose highest club title was football operations manager
15:30because your left tackle is 34 his knee has not survived a full season in three years
15:36and you guaranteed him another 12 million because nobody in this room wanted to tell your quarterback
15:41the truth
15:47your third down offense looks like a quarterback problem it isn't your slot receivers created the
15:53least separation in the conference so defenses crowded the middle and forced kingston backs who can
15:57play man coverage and none who can disguise the back end every good quarterback knew where your safety
16:02was going before the snap that is why you gave up six game-winning drives come over to work tonight
16:12i was officially appointed general manager of the seattle guardians
16:30shouldn't you be training shouldn't you have told me
16:39i wanted the job to be mine before it became ours in anybody's mind
16:44is it yours the search committee's final vote was unanimous you weren't in the room
16:48then congratulations boss tell me what you need from me
16:50honesty your shoulder every hit you hit from the medical staff
16:55we can't fit the veteran edge rusher the numbers don't work unless we cut a core defender
16:59convert six million of his base salary into a signing bonus spread the cap hit over four years
17:04we keep the defender
17:05that actually clears the space
17:09but what about the left tackle his old club just put him on waivers
17:13they think his ankle is glass
17:16claim him
17:17seattle's doctors cleared the ankle yesterday
17:19i negotiated injury protections into the deal this morning
17:22if he breaks we don't pay
