[WHISTLE BLOWS]
Get up, fool! Get your ass up!
- You ain't real.
- Right, now, technically you ain't, either,
so get your ass up,
shake off whatever this is, and go.
Now, don't you got somewhere
important you gotta be?
[WHISTLES BLOW]
[RUNNING FOOTSTEPS]
- SHAWN: Run, dawg! Go!
- [KIDS YELLING]
[OLIVIA SIGHS]
Oh.
Uh, let me guess.
Shawn and pee-wee field?
Run, Forrest, run?
That about covers it.
Hey, babe, this is, like,
the third time this week.
I'm starting to take offence.
Hey
if you really can't shake these dreams,
you need to figure out what they mean.
I mean, you need a clear mind
for the national championship tomorrow.
[SIGHS]
You know, I'm glad this
week's bucket-list item
- was waking up together every day.
- [CHUCKLES]
I can get used to this.
Yeah, me, too,
just maybe without Shawn
as your fantasy third wheel.
- MALE SINGER: We're gonna raise it up ♪
- SPENCER: Girl
[OLIVIA GIGGLES]
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna raise it up ♪
Hey, yeah, we're gonna raise it up ♪
Yes, yeah, we're gonna raise it up ♪
OLIVIA: Yeah, no, um, totally.
Yeah, that sounds like
an amazing first run.
Oh.
Cinematic details.
Uh-huh. No. I understand.
Yep, if that's what the numbers say.
OK. Thanks.
[SIGHS]
Publisher hates my book.
Honey, that is not what they said.
I mean, they might as well have.
They think it's boring
and too wholesome.
[SIGHS] No, they want
"salacious," they want
The affair, right?
I mean, that's what they want.
They want the intimate details?
Well, they said scandal is what makes
biographies fly off the shelves.
And what happens if you don't
make the changes they want?
Well, then there's no deal
and no book.
JORDAN: Hi.
- LAYLA: Hey.
- JORDAN: Whoa.
Therapy homework is going
great, I take it, huh?
Um, yeah. I'm supposed
to free-flow write
whatever comes to mind
answering some questions,
but, uh, nothing is flowing,
freely or otherwise.
Besides, what I really want
to be doing is setting up
for the post-championship
party tomorrow.
Haven't you been, like, planning
and setting it up for almost a week?
- It's not done yet?
- LAYLA: Well, excuse me
for wanting to throw an epic celebration
- for you and Spencer.
- JORDAN: I'm sorry.
Listen, I, um [CLEARS THROAT]
I appreciate you, OK,
more than you know,
but your health, translation:
your therapy homework, comes first,
right?
Yeah, um
you're right. I should
probably just get back to it.
Cool.
Cool, cool, cool. Let me
get out of your hair. Um
just, yeah. [KISS]
Give you one of those.
Later on.
["RUN WILD" BY THUTMOSE PLAYING]
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, run wild ♪
I'm on a mission, and I won't stop ♪
No destination, but
it's worth a shot ♪
You gotta let me go,
you gotta let me go ♪
- Run wild ♪
- [WHISTLE BLOWS]
I'm on a mission, and I won't stop ♪
No destination, but
it's worth a shot ♪
- You gotta let me go ♪
- GRACE: Spencer!
THUTMOSE: You gotta let
me go, you gotta let ♪
- GRACE: Spencer!
- [MUSIC STOPS]
- Do you hear me?
- SPENCER: [CHUCKLES] Yeah.
- My bad, Mama.
- [GRACE CHUCKLES]
- SPENCER: My bad. You all right?
- GRACE: Hey. Yeah.
- You OK, baby?
- SPENCER: Yeah. Ahem.
- This isn't a repeat of your 21st, is it?
- No, no.
How'd you know where to find me?
Liv called.
She thought maybe you
needed a friendly face.
Nah, nah, I'm straight.
For real.
Look, I know you have
a lot on your mind,
with the championship tomorrow
and the NFL after that.
Actually, had a little surprise
for you for after the championship,
but, after talking to Liv,
I decided maybe you could use it now.
Those are replicas of all
the fields you played on.
[SIGHS]
- [GRACE CHUCKLES]
- SPENCER: Is that real dirt?
Been digging up fields all around town,
trying not to get arrested.
[CHUCKLES]
But some things are worth it.
Oh!
That one is for the dirt
from whatever NFL team
is lucky enough to have you.
- You're amazing. Thank you. Thank you.
- [GIGGLES]
[KISS] For real.
[SIGHS]
You ready to go?
Actually, I'ma catch
up with you in a bit.
Someplace I gotta be first,
- OK.
- All right?
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, thank God.
Whew!
- Layla.
- Oh. Hey.
Not who I was expecting, but OK.
Uh, yeah, I just I
forgot my lounge keys, so
- see ya.
- Are you, like,
doing the whole "I forgot
something here" thing
so you can run into Jordan?
Oh, totally no judgment.
I did that with Greg, so I get it.
Why would I need an excuse
to run into my fiancé?
I just thought things between
you and J were cooling off.
Like, he used to be all yap, yap, yap
about wedding plans
before, and now, nada.
I mean, he doesn't even mention it.
I just thought maybe you guys
were on a break or something.
Wow, you really ran up quite the story.
Um, yeah, "J"
and I are great. Thanks.
OK. Good!
Phew! [CHUCKLES]
- OK.
- OK.
- [WHISPERS] Bye.
- [DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
[GASPS] Oh, my God! Coop, you
shaved an inch off my life.
What are you doing here so early, Ms. B?
You good?
Um
Liv's publisher wants
her to include the affair
in her biography about Billy.
- Ouch.
- I know that she'll respect my wishes,
whatever they are.
Liv needs to see this book through.
I want that for her.
I'm gonna have to learn
how to be OK with whatever happens.
I'm I'm sorry. I
can't just ignore the fact
that you are still
in yesterday's clothes
and very over caffeinated.
- Well, I have good reason.
- Which is?
[SIGHS] You're not gonna believe
what I found out about Miko.
Miko has an arrest
record from 3 years ago
- that is
- LAURA: Sealed.
Wait. Y-you knew?
Of course, but it's sealed,
so it's a nonstarter.
Well, we need to get it unsealed.
- Legally, we can't.
- Well, you don't seal
an arrest record if you're innocent.
I mean, come on. This could be our way
of making sure Miko is found guilty.
The DA can establish a
serialised pattern of behaviour
- if there's a past victim.
- LAURA: I know, but, Coop,
it could be sealed for any reason,
for jaywalking or stealing gum.
But you don't go from shoplifting gum
to stabbing someone out the blue.
Like, what Miko has done this before,
and I'm gonna prove it.
So
whatever.
You betta have a great reason
for getting me out here
on this cold-ass day.
[LAUGHS] You look good, boy.
Man, you know I always do.
- Yeah, OK, whatever, whatever.
- [LAUGHS]
Fasho. Glad to see they finally
found some new paint for them goalposts.
Ah, I prefer our old gritty field.
- Matched our energy.
- CHRIS: Mm-hmm.
Is that why you called me out here?
Feeling nostalgic before your big game?
Nah, man.
Actually been thinking
about Shawn a lot recently.
Dreaming about him.
Fool, you do realise
you have the biggest game
of your life coming up tomorrow.
- Why you worried about Shawn?
- SPENCER: I don't know. That's why I'm here.
I been doing a little tour
of all the fields I played on.
Figured I'd find the
answer in one of 'em.
Played a lotta games on this field, man.
- Won a lotta games on this field.
- Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
Till Billy Baker interrupted our streak
when he came and poached you from us.
Game opener junior year.
Boy, we was on fire that day.
- [INHALES SHARPLY]
- You remember that?
- Yes!
- Goddamn!
Aight, look, that boy's about to blitz.
Look to me, aight? If I give the signal,
just give me the ball, fast.
We don't score, we dead.
- Man, I'll see you boys in the end zone.
- CHRIS: Break!
Set hut!
MALE SINGER: Whoa-oh-oh ♪
ANNOUNCER: He rolls back.
It it's a deep pass!
Caught by Spencer James!
He's at the 10, the 5!
- Touchdown!
- [AIR HORNS BLOWING]
Chargers win!
CHRIS: Man, that game was electric
until the shots, and,
you know, then it wasn't.
Just another day in the
neighbourhood, right?
Right.
Aye, yo, Spence, I know
I gave you a hard time
for leaving and moving to Beverly.
Truth is, I was jealous.
You were strong enough to
put your real dreams first.
These dreams.
Football and a better life for your fam.
Don't let these other
stupid sleep dreams
derail you this close to
everything coming true.
Get your head in tomorrow's game.
You deserve it, Spence.
[SCRAPING ON FLOOR]
I mean, OK, seriously?
Sorry. Sorry. Ahem. It was, um,
it was too heavy to carry.
What is that anyway?
This is a box of my parents'
old wedding stuff from my dad's storage.
I'm hoping something in here will help
- with my therapy homework.
- COOP: Nice. Uh,
you think it could help
you quietly? Because
- I gotta focus.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
- [COOP CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, real quick, has Jordan been
or seemed different to you lately,
like maybe not so into
the whole wedding stuff?
Uh, Jordan and I have barely said
7 words to each other this month,
so you're you're
asking the wrong person.
Right.
Right.
Um Coop, can I ask you something?
[EXHALES SHARPLY] Fine,
but I'd like to point out that
this is the opposite of quietly.
What's the scariest
thing you've ever done?
Uh
getting back onstage to
perform at your opening.
I mean, I was not at all prepared,
and it could have been
a colossal disaster,
but I knew I had to do it for Patience.
And, uh,
how did you get rid of the fear?
I didn't. I mean, you know, when it
comes to the people you love most,
sometimes you just gotta pocket
that fear and do the thing anyway.
- Ooh! Got you!
- LAYLA: Got who?
[SIGHS] The girl that Miko
stalked before Patience.
Wait. Miko stalked someone
before? Are you sure?
Yes.
This is her, Miko's previous victim.
- Oh, my God. She looks
- Just like Patience.
All right, I gotta go.
Time to save my girl.
[SIGHS]
You a long way from home, ain't you?
Tssh! [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah, what are the chances?
- [LAUGHS]
- What's up, man?
- S'up? You been here long?
No, we just got here.
Yeah, I've actually been
coming here a lot lately
- [AJ COOING]
- especially since AJ was born.
You know, remembering
what was, could've been.
- This is the last field I played on.
- I feel you.
I been on a mini tour
remembering myself.
- ASHER: Yeah? You good?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
I just can't seem to lock in
for our game tomorrow, you know?
I been having this dream
Wait, wait. Old uniform, locker room,
you realise part of
the uniform is missing?
- [CHUCKLES] No.
- Oh.
But but maybe I
prefer to have that dream.
You remember Shawn?
We used to be real
tight me, him, and Coop?
He passed on the day of our
homecoming game, junior year.
SPENCER: Mm-hmm, well, obviously
he's bored on the other side because
he keeps popping up in all my dreams,
yelling at me from my old pee-wee field.
- That is very specific.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
Yo, Spence, I I think you're
just nervous about the game tomorrow.
It's huge, for all of us.
Man, ain't no way I'm nervous.
I been dreaming about
NCAA championship games
ever since I first stepped
foot on a pee-wee field.
Well, look, man, being
ready and being nervous
aren't mutually exclusive.
I was just with Wade earlier.
His nerves are shot, dude.
This is his last chance
to redeem himself,
and he's also carrying
the weight of every player
whose career was
unfairly ended by Garrett
into tomorrow's game.
It's a lotta weight, dude.
And, plus, it's your last game, too.
[AJ COOS]
[SIGHS] We come a long way, man.
Yeah, who woulda thought I'd be the
one to end up living in Crenshaw,
and you'd have a beach as a backyard?
And Jordan would be
the one marrying Layla?
[CHUCKLES] Right? Hey,
we should get J out here.
We're gonna take a
trip down memory lane,
we should do it right.
You're absolutely right.
OK, thanks again for waiting for me.
Yeah, no problem. I was just grabbing
something from Spencer's room.
LAYLA: OK, so what I'm about to
say is gonna sound a little crazy,
- but just bear with me, OK?
- [CHUCKLES] OK.
- OK, two words.
- Mm-hmm?
Surprise wedding.
[LAYLA AND CHARISSA
SQUEAL SIMULTANEOUSLY]
CHARISSA: [LAUGHS] Oh, my God!
I love surprise weddings!
COUNT ME IN. OLIVIA: I'm sorry.
Have you been eavesdropping
this whole time?
It's not eavesdropping
if I'm just hanging out
on the patio of the house
where I legally live.
Anyway, back to fun wedding plans.
When is it? Also, just FYI,
I am technically a licensed officiant.
OK, why don't you let
me and my bestie get back
to our private conversation,
and you can go elsewhere?
Guess I'll be in my room.
Seriously, how long are
they gonna let her live here?
Uh-uh, no. Back to
this surprise wedding.
- Mm.
- Why now?
Well, I realised when
I was talking to Coop
that sometimes you just
you have to take the leap,
you know, despite the fear, if it's
for someone you love, and also,
Jordan's stopped doing anything
wedding-planning-related,
so I think he's waiting
- for me to pick up the mantle.
- OLIVIA: Right, well,
- but that could just be
- LAYLA: And I'm already throwing
the post-championship party at the
lounge for our family and friends,
so it'll be a super-easy adjustment
to also make it a surprise wedding.
Oh, and I found my mom's dress today,
- so it's definitely a sign.
- OLIVIA: OK.
- Mm-hmm.
- Um, Layla, just pause.
Why don't you just talk to Jordan
if you think that he's
pulling back from the wedding?
Girl, where is the fun in that?
OK, surprise wedding makes a statement.
This is gonna be awesome!
[GIGGLING] I'm so excited!
[CHUCKLES]
- JORDAN: Well, hello there.
- ASHER: Yo.
So this is what we're doing
day before our biggest game,
reminiscing about the glory days?
Damn straight.
Y'all couldn't handle my
smooth moves when I got here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I do not remember it that way.
- What?
- [CHUCKLES]
For J,
grab that football under that bench.
- JORDAN: Oh, God.
- SPENCER: Old age must be messing with y'alls memory.
ASHER: OK, here we go.
- All right, fellas, let's get it.
- FEMALE SINGER: Na na na na ♪
JORDAN: Set, go!
- Na na na na ♪
- What? What?
- The runway walk ♪
- Na na na na ♪
- Whoo! Come on!
- Na na na na ♪
- Na na na na ♪
- The runway walk ♪
Let me see your ♪
- ASHER: What the hell, man?
- JORDAN: I got it, I got it. Calm down.
Hey, yo. You're running the wrong plays.
Well, you know what they say.
We all wrong, we all right.
- That's not how we play here.
- Maybe it should be.
SINGER: Na na na na na ♪
OK, aight.
Maybe I was a lot that day.
- ASHER: No, you were an ass.
- SPENCER: True, but so were you.
- ASHER: Fair.
- JORDAN: And now look at us. I mean,
we're about ready to go into
the championship together,
all three of us, right?
Yeah, we started as
rivals on this field.
Became a home for us all.
One last game of catch on our
home field for old time's sake?
JORDAN: Hell yeah. I'm in.
- ASHER: Come on, man. Let's do it.
- JORDAN: Oh, boy. Boy. Boy.
You promised Jaymee no more football.
Ain't nobody tryna get
on her bad side, bruh.
- Sorry.
- She scares me. She scares me.
JORDAN: Sorry. Ah.
There it is.
Money in the bank. [LAUGHS]
BACKGROUND SINGERS:
Then smile, smile ♪
MALE SINGER:
Let your worries fade away ♪
- Smile, smile ♪
- Embrace a brand-new day ♪
- Number 4 with extra plantains?
- Yes. Thank you.
- Um, you're Jalessa, right?
- Who's asking?
Wait, wait, wait. One second. Um
Do you you know her,
don't you? Miko Scott?
- Who the hell are you?
- I'm Tamia Cooper.
I didn't come for no problems.
I just came for some answers
and, judging by your
reaction, you got 'em.
- I can't help you.
- Please, you might have seen
on the news that Miko
is on trial for stalking
and assaulting someone.
My girl, Patience,
is that someone, but I don't think that
she was Miko's first.
- You were, weren't you?
- I'm gonna stop you right there.
Look, I'm sorry for what
happened with your girl Patience,
but like I said, I can't help you.
Please, they are trying
to paint Miko as a victim
and make Patience seem like the bad guy.
She's gonna get away with this
and hurt other people if you
I can't. I signed an NDA.
- I'm sorry.
- Please, Jalessa.
My girl almost died.
My best advice for you and your girl?
Stay far away from Miko.
[RINGING]
- [SIGHS] Hi, honey.
- OLIVIA: OK, Mom,
let's say I had this
friend, right, and
you know, they're making a
decision that's slightly
OK, like, a lot bananas, what do I do?
Are you talking about your book, Liv?
'Cause you don't have to
disguise it as a friend's dilemma.
OLIVIA: No, I don't know what
I'm gonna do about that yet, but
something else came up that's
[SIGHS] slightly more pressing.
OK, well, is this friend's decision
gonna cause them or someone else harm?
No, not physically, anyway,
but their emotions have
been heightened lately and
I don't know. I'm just, I'm just worried
that they're not thinking it through,
and this just may backfire on them.
Well, if it does, it
does, honey. We can't
take decisions out of people's
hands to save them from pain.
[CHUCKLES]
As the people who love them,
all we can do is be there
for them after to help
pick up the pieces.
[CHUCKLES]
Looking for this?
You left it earlier. It's dope.
- Oh, good looking out, man.
- Ow, ow.
This was part of the gift my mom got me.
I can't believe I left it out here.
You stayed out here the whole day?
I guess I got caught up
in some memories of my own.
Aye, I think I know why you've
been thinking about Shawn.
This ain't just any game tomorrow.
This your final college game,
your final game before the NFL.
And you're not just playing for you.
You're playing for all of us.
Look, Spence, I been
knowing you since we was 8.
Ain't no way that weight
don't make you nervous.
Asher just said something
similar about his QB.
Maybe you and him are right.
Maybe I do have more doubts and
nerves about this than I realise.
After tomorrow, everything changes, man,
and I don't know if I'm ready
to say goodbye to all the fields
I called home my whole life, dawg.
Well, if there's one thing the
past should have taught you,
it's that wherever there's a field,
Spencer James will find a home on it.
COOP: I couldn't have
said it better myself.
- SPENCER: Hey.
- COOP: Hey.
- Oh, what's up, Coop? [CHUCKLES]
- What's up, baby?
Yeah, sorry I missed your calls, man.
But what's good? What we
gotta do to shake that doubt,
COOP AND SHAWN: 'cause don't
you got somewhere important to be?
That's it.
These dreams.
Shawn was tryna get me
to face whatever I had
emotionally brewing underneath
so that I can be ready for whatever
the future's got waiting for me.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Damn.
You got all that from what I said?
Yeah. I'm good. I'm good.
- CHRIS: Crenshaw strong, baby!
- Let's go! Let's go win that national title, baby!
- CHRIS: Whoo!
- [LAUGHS]
COOP: Yo, yo.

Coastal has found a rhythm
on their second drive,
moving methodically down the field.
- Let's go, offence!
- But the GAU defence
has stepped up, putting pressure
on quarterback Wade Waters
and forcing back-to-back incompletions.
If we don't score soon,
Montes is gonna come down
from that box, pneumonia be
damned, and kick all of our asses.
Come on, let's make something happen.
- Coach.
- Yeah?
Look, we need to get
our skill guys in space.
All right, that bubble screen

You ain't wrong, Adams.

MALE SINGER: Game time ♪
ASHER: Yo, guys.
Gather round. Listen up.
[SNIFFS]
This game is tied.
What happens in this
second half seals our fate.
What has Montes been
saying all season to us?
We worked our asses
off to win last year,
and we worked our asses off
twice as hard to get here again
and do it again!
- Yeah.
- That's right.
ASHER: If Montes could
be down here with us,
he would tell you all
how proud he is of you.
Proud of the blood, the sweat,
the tears that you have poured
into this game so far, but, gentlemen,
let me remind you that we are still
the reigning national champions!
Us!
And if you're not ready to give
that up just yet [CHUCKLES]
We are gonna ask you
to do one thing, guys.
Just one thing.
We're gonna ask you to go out there
and create a legacy that
we can all be proud of.
Gentlemen, gather round.

[PLAYERS CLAMOURING]
Montes couldn't have
said it better himself.
WADE: I mean, that's great
and all, but nice words
ain't gonna win us the championship.
So what's the plan? Top
two receivers are out.
Last time I checked, you're
a player, not a coach, Waters.
Focus on your own job.
- And last time I checked, you wanted to win.
- That's right.
So let's win.
Put Asher in.
Whoa, whoa, me?
Come again?
We need someone who can run the
routes flawlessly. Asher can do that.
We ran them in practice a million times.
He never messed up once.
- JABARI: Yo, Wade's right.
- WADE: Thank you.
If we want a shot at this chip,
- yo, Asher's our guy.
- Well, that's not y'alls call!
Now, back on the field!
Halftime's over.
Go!

ANNOUNCER: The sun is
set here in Pasadena,
and we're set for the second
half of this championship battle.
SPENCER: Hey, Coach,
it's the second half now.
Last chance to win this thing.
You don't think I already know that?
No, I'm saying our
boys have put everything
they got out on that field.
You can't ask them for much else
except to dig deep and
do what we do best
- play from the heart.
- [MAC CHUCKLES]
Don't you mean trust the analytics?
'Cause that's what got us here.
Come here.
Listen, I'm proud of the
leadership you've shown this team.
What you think really
matters to these guys.
But the fact is, analytics
is what got us this far,
and analytics is what's
gonna win us this chip.
With all due respect,
you're making a mistake.
As head coach, that's my
mistake to make, Spence.
ANNOUNCER: These two teams
are in a locked battle.
GAU scores, Coastal responds.
Coastal scores, and GAU responds.
Neither team has been able
to stay ahead for long.
With the fourth quarter about to begin,
seems only right that the
skies have fully opened up.
What could be a more fitting backdrop
to this battle to the finish?
Wait. Hold on.
I'm getting news that
there's another Coastal player
coming out of the tunnel.
Well, this is unprecedented.
We have Coach Asher
Adams suited up for play.
[CROWD CHEERING AND WHISTLING]
[CROWD CHANTING "ASHER"]
No, no, no.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Baby, what the hell are you doing?
COACH KENNY: Just got word
that Montes approved this.
Wait, how is Asher even eligible?
Montes never took him off the roster.
He just kept him on as a formality.
Well, this looks like a
formality that's about to pay off.
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
ANNOUNCER: Adams, number 83, checks in
to the game and replaces Salgado.
Coastal ball, second and 10,
from the GAU 30-yard line.
Adams goes into motion
on the right side.
WADE: 49 left!
28 right!
WADE: Here we go!
ANNOUNCER: Waters back
to pass, scans the field.
Caught! Jukes a defender,
makes another man miss! Adams to the 10!
To the 5! Dives for the end zone!
Touchdown, Coastal!

ANNOUNCER: Injury time
is called out on the field

ANNOUNCER: Coastal leads, 41-35.
JAYMEE, SOBBING: Baby, please get up.
[THUNDER]
He ain't getting up.
Why is he not getting up?
I dunno. Come on, Ash.
[JAYMEE BREATHING HEAVILY]
ANNOUNCER: Adams took
a big hit as he crossed
the plane of the goal line.
Trainers and medical personnel
are coming off the sideline.
Come on, AJ. Daddy needs us. Come on.
ANNOUNCER: Wait. Hold on.
Adams is beginning to show movement.

Adams and Coastal to win?
- SINGER: stop now ♪
- [THUNDER]
ANNOUNCER: Coastal has
maintained their lead, 45-42.
Only 12 seconds left in the game.
We just need a field goal to tie
the game and we can win in OT.
Spencer, run the ball
to their 20-yard line,
step out of bounds, and stop the clock.
We'll kick the field goal
from there, tie the game.
Got it?
Speak up before it's too late.
Look, man, what Asher
just did for his team,
that is what I meant
when I said we gotta
play with heart to win this game.
Now, we can end this. We can win it.
- You gotta trust us, man, to

just for the field
goal. You need to trust
- the numbers!

What I need to do is trust my gut,

Speak up, Spencer. What's your plan?

I was so scared for you, baby.
I know. I'm sorry. I can explain. I
No, you don't have to explain anything.
I get it now. After
seeing you on that field,
I understand why it
means so much to you,
why you have to play.
ASHER: Honestly, I thought
playing again was my dream, but
tonight, on that field
I realised I just needed one more time
out there with my boys
and a chance to say goodbye
to this game on my own terms.
You don't want to go
back to playing football?
[CHUCKLES]
I'm happy with my life here
with you, AJ, coaching.
I'm already living my new dream.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING WITHIN]
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
- COOP: Excuse me.
- LAURA: Oh, uh, one minute. OK.
I found Miko's prior victim.
Her name's Jalessa.
She confirmed that Miko stalked her?
Technically, no. She
signed some kind of NDA
that won't let her talk
about what happened, but
Just think Miko stalked this girl.
I mean, why sign a NDA
if Miko didn't hurt her?
That's gotta be what's
in the sealed record.
You're making more assumptions.
I'm going to get the proof.
Uh, OK, again, legally, that
record cannot be unsealed.
- Who says we have to do it legally?
- Coop,
if you're talking about
hacking those files,
they'll be completely
inadmissible in court
and no good to Patience
and, quite frankly,
it makes me question if
you're cut out for law.
If I'm right
about what's in that record,
this case won't need to go to court.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
Mm.
That's quite a dress.
What? Jordan, no, no, no, no, no.
No. What are you doing here?
You're supposed to meet me
at the club. It's a surprise.
What was the surprise?
[SIGHS] You already know, don't you?
Well, Olivia strongly
suggested that I find you
and talk to you before
showing up at Layla's.
She didn't mention
anything about a wedding.
Baby girl, come here.
[SIGHS]
What's going on?
I I want to marry you.
I want to marry you, too.
But just a couple weeks
ago, after therapy, you
you know, you said how
all the wedding stuff
was a trigger and and you needed
time to focus on your healing.
LAYLA: I know, I know. I, um
I was just worried that you
weren't just pulling back
from wedding planning.
I was worried that you
were pulling back from us,
and I don't want to
lose you, Jordan, OK?
I'm ready to do this. We
could get married today
and prove to each other every day
that we are not like my parents.
I Layla, I don't want the day
that you become my wife to
be because you were scared
or trying to prove a point.
I want it to be because you, all of you,
knows without a doubt
that you can't live
another day of your life
without being my wife.

Hey, hey, hey.
It is helping, OK?
You are slowly but surely
getting back to your old self.
So we had a setback, right?
It is a journey with
no perfect road map.
