05x02 - Must Be the Shoes

[bunniefuu]

SPENCER STRASMORE:
I've spent my whole life

being a man of the people,
and not the man himself.

Effective immediately,
the league needs a new owner.

I'm not like you, boss man,
that's why I had to retire.

-(PHONE RINGS)
-What's up, Ricky?

RICKY JERRET: Jason?
I tested positive.

CHARLES GREANE:
Your boy Ricky Jerret

has once again compromised me.

I'm done doing favors
for people.

Think of it as a personal favor,
for a friend.

We're getting into real estate.

Building ourselves
a state-of-the-art

training facility,
for the talented young men

who dominate the gridiron.

Two parcels of land,
I like the left.

JASON ANTOLOTTI: I called
in a favor, made it personal.

-They're extending you.
-I'm blessed.

cr*ck the ceiling,
it's being

the first black majority owner
in league history.

Joe? I'm in the middle
of something big.

I'm about to buy Kansas City.

We're buying both f*cking lots.

I'll buy the team,
but I'm gonna run it my way.

[ringtone chiming]

- Good morning, Candace.

Call to pressure me,
or you just miss my voice?

- Yes and yes.

You need to be fully financed
by the end of the week

if we're gonna push you through.

- Ah, so this is
a collection call.

- Full transparency:

there are competing offers
on the team.

- Competing offers?

Is this a joke?
Look, you guys came to me.

I was retired on a f*cking beach
until you called.

- I am so sorry
for complicating your life.

- You know what I'm saying.

- And all I'm saying is you need
to secure your financing.

Bossman and I will keep
the others at bay.

I want this
to work out for you.

Besides, they don't have
what you have, big guy.

- No, just lighter complexions
and a lot more green.

- And neither is worth
what it used to be.

[phone clicks]

[door opens]

- Did you blow all that money
I made you already?

- Ah, even better.

- Sir Lancelot, you missed
the architect meeting.

- Yeah,
we're in crisis mode, Joseph,

putting out fires.

- What could possibly
be more important

than building our future home?

- Keeping the current one
from burning down.

We haven't seen Dan today.

He's not in the office
and didn't call in.

- We've got Odell Beckham Jr.
in here in five hours.

We don't need this crisis
looming over our heads

like a dirty,
uninvited ball bag.

- See, see, see?
This--

this is a lesson of what happens
when you enable people, Kate.

Hopefully, he quit.
I mean, who cares?

- You'll f*cking care
when Gloria f*cking Allred

marches through that door
with enough hairspray on

to asphyxiate
the entire bullpen.

- Oh, yeah?
Does she rep dudes now?

- Dan is dude-adjacent, at best.

- Okay, what reason could
he have to wanna sue us?

I mean, I feel like
you both are being

a tad bit alarmist right now.

- Well, I think you're being
a tad bit idiotic.

- [scoffs]

- This is easily a hostile
workplace environment issue.

- Oh, a hostile workplace?
Kate, look around.

We have more arcade games than
we have desks, for sh*t's sake.

- Uh, corrosive language.

- Yesterday alone,
you used "p*ssy,"

"f*ck," "sh*t,"
"f*cking assh*le," and...

[laughing]
Others I will not repeat.

- No, I--I did?

Okay, maybe I did.
I don't know.

I'm very expressive.
I'm given to hyperbole.

And occasionally,
yeah, you know,

I turn office supplies
into missiles

and I launch them
at employees' heads.

They get it.
They think it's funny.

- Look,
this isn't your old life,

where you and that
muscly pharaoh went around

threatening people with v*olence
as a matter of course.

- No, that is a normal workday
in America.

And we always got the job done.

- Yeah, well,
getting the job done

ain't the most important thing
anymore, Joe.

- The work is still important,
but so is the environment.

- Okay.
What do you guys suggest I do?

- Mm, there is something,

but I don't know
if you can make it happen.

It's tricky and complicated

and will be tough for you
to pull off.

It's called an apology.

- [sighs]

[heart rate monitor beeping]

- Welcome back.

- [grunts softly]
I know you?

- This n*gga got amnesia.

- That gas will play tricks
on your mind.

- [grunts softly]
I'm f*cking with you.

[laughter]

- How you feeling, baby?
- I feel good.

Ain't sh*t to it, really.

They just put your ass to sleep,
wake you up.

No big deal.

- That's my favorite part--
the drip.

- You think
if I run down the hall

and butter up
one of those nurses,

they'll give me
some of that sh*t for free?

- Yeah, why don't you
go do that, T?

Close the damn door
behind you too.

- I can take a hint,
but you mean sometimes.

- [chuckles]

[door closes]

- Thanks for showing, Chuck.
How'd they say it went?

- Pretty good, considering.

- Yeah, Doc Davidson is a pro.

- Your ACL, MCL, and PCL
all sewn up now, buddy.

- Oh, that's what's up.

Well, when am I getting up
outta here?

- As soon as you can
talk to Doc Davidson.

- Ah, let's get
something to eat first.

- I actually got you
some muffins.

I used to love to munch on 'em
whenever I got cut on.

- [laughs] Well, you know what?
We'll take 'em with us.

TTD can eat 'em
on the way to breakfast.

I'm not talking to no doctor.

- You ain't getting outta here

until you talk
to Doc Davidson, okay?

So you can either talk to him
now or talk to him next week.

Your choice.

- Look at the new besties.

- What up, Reg?
- 'Sup, Reg?

- It's nice to see you again,
Colby.

Uh, but V,
did you forget today's lunch

was to discuss your future?

- Uh, why do you think
he brought me?

- [laughing]
No f*cking idea.

- For verification.

Me and Colby, we was up all
night playing all type of sh*t.

- Up all night?

Playing with
a 14-year-old white boy?

Be careful.

Lifetime gonna make a
"Surviving Vernon Littlefield."

- You better watch your mouth.
And I'm 15.

- Stop harassing.
We been gaming.

- Yeah, "League of Legends."
He's a beast.

- Of course he is.
He's a natural athlete.

Vernon, can I speak to you
in private?

- What up?

- What up is I gotta
reel you back into reality

and get you focused
on your day job.

- Gaming can be my daytime job.

I'm a natural.
You said it yourself.

- I was being nice.
Man, don't--don't talk crazy.

- I wanna be
a two-sport athlete.

- I bust ass in "2K,"
but it doesn't mean

I'm gonna quit Sports X
and pretend to be Steph Curry.

- I'll show you.

- How you gon' do that?

- 1v1.

First blood wins.

- Loser never
questions me again.

- Thank you.

Where's the seafood tower?

- My cholesterol's
a little high.

I don't wanna
go into cardiac arrest

before your big presentation.

- We heard you were
bringing us something special.

- Which you've
already accomplished

by bringing absolutely
nothing at all,

by which I mean Joe Krutel.

How is the prodigal son?

- I don't know.
We don't talk much.

- Ooh, what a shame.

I wish that was
the case with us.

- Well, you can just
stop talking then.

- Why don't you stop talking?

- Two minutes, just shut up.
- Why don't you--just shut up!

- Shut it up and shut it down.
- You're not the boss of me.

- Okay, why don't we just listen
to what our retiree has to say?

- Maybe you need help
with your AARP application.

- No, no.
I just need your attention.

I don't have much time, okay?

We have very successfully
done a stadium deal together.

What if we bought a franchise?

- My nipples are getting hard.
- Oh, don't be crass.

- I have the inside track
on the Kansas City Chiefs.

- NFL franchise--

government-issued,
high-yield bond.

- How much?

- Three bill.
- Oh.

With a strike looming?

That's also considerably more

than the last team
that traded hands.

- There's some good money
to be made here,

especially considering that
the league is thinking about

expanding their schedule
to 18 games.

- Who's gonna run the show now
that Joe Krutel is no longer?

- I haven't
figured that out yet.

- 3 billion without a plan?

- The moment we take control
of the team,

we can bring in our own people.

- Our people.

Team's on the upswing.
Mahomes is k*lling it.

With a little help, maybe
they can win the Super Bowl.

- Has Mahomes been resigned?

- First order of business.

- [sighs] Against the backdrop
of the new CBA.

It's--it's kinda risky.

- Hey, big man.
Can I get a minute?

- Yeah, as long as you don't
try to strip search me.

- No, never again.
Come on.

[both laugh]

- So what's going on, Hos?

How's the world of security?

We all safe?

- Oh, for the time being,
but if I were you,

I'd stay away from
Jack in the Box.

- Ooh,
them chili cheese fries, though.

I love 'em.

- You like it
with or without lead?

- [chuckles]
What are you talkin' about?

Is that Kisan Teague?

- Well, it damn sure
ain't Wyatt Earp.

- Oh, my God.
Did they k*ll somebody?

- No, they just grazed a kid.

- Anyone else seen this?
- By anyone else,

I'm assuming you're talking
about the league office?

- For starters.
- We don't know if they seen

or hadn't seen until we know,
if you know what I mean?

But to the best of my knowledge,

I'm the only one
with this footage.

- How'd you get it?
- Come on now, Charles.

Do I ask you
how you do your job?

- You are really
one thorough brother.

- I will crawl up a snake's ass
to find a mouse.

Now you just thank God

that Sheriff Hos
is on your side, man.

Here, take that.

- Hey, buddy.

We just, uh, came by
to see how you were doing.

I was afraid that
you were out sick.

- Yeah, right.
Whatever.

I was meeting
with Hypebeast, remember?

Pascal, their lifestyle editor,

- Ho-ho!

Well, so I motivated you.
Huh.

- That is not the word

- Well, that's why Joe's here.

Right, Joe?
- Yes, that's right.

That's why I'm here.

Dan...
[clears throat]

I wanna apologize to you

for my crude language
the other day.

Totally uncalled for.

- You mean
when you called me a p*ssy?

- Yeah, that's exactly right,
when I called you a p*ssy.

For that, I am sorry.

- Okay, well,
your apology rings hollow

because your actions
speak louder than words.

- Dan, shut the f*ck up
and accept the apology.

- Okay, fine.
Accepted.

Happy?
- Great.

Now, we've got
a meeting with OBJ.

- That's right,
and I want you in on it with us.

- Wait, you do?

- Yup.
I sure do.

How 'bout we cut to the chase

- Well, you sure you wanna know?

- Try me.

- All right, look,

with my boys, right?

And the next thing I know,

I'm in the middle
of "Unforgiven."

- So you're admitting that
your boys participated?

- Hell yeah.
And I'm lucky they did too.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be here
to tell you the truth.

Chuck, you would've
did the same sh*t.

- Oh, I doubt that.
- Come on.

- Maybe, maybe not.

- Running around in the middle
of the night with my boys,

holding weapons?

Not exactly a good
representation of the team.

Matter of fact,
I think it's downright stupid.

- It's a necessity, Chuck.

wrong place at the wrong time.

On you.

closing was your strength.

I need you to be the new

Besides,

I think I'll wait on that.

Because I know

And there is no one
