All language subtitles for Elsbeth 03x08 Basket Case [2025-12-04 22-00] uswcbs HQ

Bro, bro, bro.

Bro, wait.

Hang on.

My hair looks crazy today.

Dude, it's a podcast.

Yeah, and thank God, because you look
horrible. Okay, we gotta start.

Listen, today's a big show, because I'm
ready to call it. Someone take Coach W

to the vet and euthanize him. He's lived
a good life, but it's time. Dude,

you're calling it? He's done. And I
don't say this lightly. I mean, we are

talking about Coach Russell Willoughby.

This man has how many NBA titles? A lot
of NBA titles. Yeah. That's true. A

legend. And if my dude had just stayed
retired, that'd be the end of it. But at

age 106, he decides to coach college.
He's 74, but continues. I'm like, okay,

interesting. St. Ivans has sucked
lately. Maybe he built the program back

what it was.

Boy, was that a bad bet. Okay, hang on.

They've lost three games. It takes years
to rebuild, bro. Dude, I'm not talking

about the record. You know what I'm
talking about.

Clearly bad. Basketball is like the last
thing on this man's mind right now.

You're acting like we don't know exactly
who to blame. Dude, I feel like if I

mention her name, she'll put a hex on my
ding dong.

She's not Voldemort, man. She might be.
We're talking about the biggest story in

sports right now. Don't say her name.
Peyton.

Ramsey. I said it. Well, now she's going
to hex your ding -dong. Good thing you

never use it.

Hey, speaking of that, today's podcast
is brought to you by Shape and Scape.

Fellas, you know how bad it hurts when
you're using clippers down there and you

catch a bit of script.

Have you listened yet?

Hey, beautiful.

Listen to what?

We can't let these guys keep talking
about us like this.

You know my media policy, Pei. Just tune
it out. Focus on the fundamentals.

These guys have millions of followers,
okay? And by the way, they're still

quoting inside sources, which means that
your players are still DMing them.

Ah, I told you that I don't know what
DMing means. Anyway, listen.

Pei, come on. Deep breath, okay?

I will reiterate our media policy at the
next team practice.

Thank you.

Also, I had some thoughts about some of
the guys' socials, but I don't want to

overstep. No, no, no. I think it's a
great idea. I'm sure the guys would

appreciate your advice.

Thank you, babe. Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

You won't. See you in a bit.

Hey, Peyton. You need to delete your ex
-account.

I don't think I have one of those.

It's what they call Twitter now. And
your old profile still has posts of 15

-year -old Marcus saying, do you think
they spell it boobs because the two O's

look like boobs?

No. Just found out no school because
it's Yom Kippur. Hope all you Jews out

partying and getting laid.

Yeah, what's wrong with that? Yom Kippur
is a day of atonement.

No offense, but...

Why do you care? Because I manage Coach
W's personal brand now. So if one of his

players posts something offensive, then
it's bad for his brand.

Now, if you don't want to take my
advice, then maybe he rethinks

starting five and we go from there.

Hey, Dave.

Marcus, could you give us a minute?

Okay.

I want to be very clear.

You need to stop what you're doing here.

What? Why? No, let's don't. Make a big
thing out of this, okay? We both know

that you've taken advantage of Coach's
affection for you to adopt a role that's

completely inappropriate to your age and
your experience and that your presence

here has become a distraction.

You find me distracting?

Creep.

When I recruited Coach W to St. Ivan's,
it was the greatest moment of my career.

Or it should have been.

But you ruined it.

You ruined him. Why?

Because I finally got him to do
something about his eyebrow?

You turned a legend into a sad, pathetic
loser, posing for selfies, doing

sandwich commercials. You single
-handedly destroyed a great man's

The best thing you could do would be to
lose his number.

But I can't make you do that.

So I'm doing the one thing I can do.

I'm banning you from the premises.

And what does Russell think about that?

If you really care about him, you'll go
quietly.

Okay, okay.

Well, until you get the balls to tell
Russell that you think he's a... Sorry,

what was it again you called him?

Right, a sad, pathetic loser.

I won't be seeing you around, Dave.

Peyton, if he sticks with you, he'll be
gone before long, too.

So you tell me if you think he'll choose
you over his career.

It's not just that she's hot. Coach W is
rich and famous. There's hotter girls

she could pull, and they wouldn't try to
do his job for him either.

I think she's got some kind of blackmail
on him. I do. I'm telling you, dude,

she's a witch. Oh, yeah, she's
definitely a witch, dude.

Jeez, she's scared.

It's late.

Why are you still awake?

I couldn't sleep.

Just watching tape.

You okay?

We're good.

You do your job, and you let me do mine.

Rich guy. I don't think I'd be able to,
like, post a theme for him. She's kind

of impressive.

But, babe, his theme keeps losing.

Oh, I think I'm going to pee my pants.
Oh, we're seven blocks from the dorm.

No, I can't make it that far. I'm going
to win.

Okay, okay, just go over there.

Where? In that alley. No, thanks. Not
trying to get murdered. Babe, do you

a UTI?

I'll keep lookout.

Fine, okay.

Hey, Elspeth, watch where you're going.
Sorry, Captain, I was on my phone.

Oh, Merrill Canada's mysterious redhead
identified.

Uh -oh, someone finally named you? Yeah,
New York Confidential. They do

celebrity gossip.

I guess that makes you a celebrity.

Hardly. They spelled my name wrong.

Elspeth with a P.

Yeah, it's actually the more common
variant.

Any of them common?

Just email them with a correction.

Oh, no.

I wouldn't bother, besides.

Who cares, right?

Certainly not me.

Uh, this is Detective Taylor. Just
transferred from the 15th. This is

my kid's preschool.

Cute. Detective Taylor, where are we?
We've got a positive ID. Dave Coppin.

the athletic director.

Cause of death was blunt force trauma to
the head.

What's this about? Two St. Ivan students
found a body on the street near campus

last night. I'm headed there now,
Captain.

Good. The administration is going to
want to wrap this up quick.

Oh, sounds like an important case for
the NYPD to get right.

Maybe I should tag along?

You like college sports?

No, no.

But I had a roommate who was on the
softball team.

I think she stole my Wham album.

We've probably got it handled.

Bring Elsbeth along, just in case.

Oh,

you're Elsbeth. With a B, like Liza.

What? Liza with a Z.

Sorry. I played sports.

None of this was here in my day.

You went to St. Ivan's? Class of 2012.

Field hockey.

Cool.

We're very grateful to our donors. Any
working theories, detective? I'm still

shock. It appears he died of severe
blunt force trauma to the head.

Body had signs of exposure, frostbite,
women's urine, but we accounted for that

last part.

Frostbite? No wallet or phone.

Maybe a random mugging. It's still
early.

Ooh. Is that your school's mascot?

It is. The St.

Ivan's thing. We call him Thingy. What
is it? When they replaced the old

they let the student body vote on the
new one.

Huh. Of course, the students turned it
into a joke.

What was the old mascot?

You don't want to know.

I really do.

Dave liked to lift weights after work.

May we take a look? Sure thing,
Detective.

Oh, found it.

Oh, no.

That is not a problem.

Dave usually worked out here late when
he wouldn't be in any of the players'

way. Our facilities are state -of -the
-art. I'll say.

Ooh.

Excuse me.

Oh, that's okay.

Interesting. Ma 'am, you can't just take
people's things.

Criminal justice.

That was my major when I was here.

Oh, cool.

Mine, too.

You're Jason Roberts.

My wife and kid love you, by the way.

We have season tickets.

Nice, nice.

Who, uh, are you? This is Detective
Taylor with the NYPD.

Dave Coppins was found murdered on the
street last night. There's going to be

announcement. Detective, your
associate... Murdered?

Wait,

do they know who did it? Why do you?

Something I need to know.

Ma 'am, excuse me.

We really prefer you not touch the
equipment. Right.

State of the art. Also, it's about to be
evidence.

Why? What do you mean? Detective, if I
could just... Who's that?

That's Coach Willoughby.

Oh. And that's his daughter?

No. Oh.

Oh. Uh, Detective, I found something
that you might want to see. Coach W.

Who's asking?

Detective Nina Taylor, NYPD.

We found the body of Dave Coppins
murdered about a block from here last

It's Kyma. A man is dead, Miss Ramsey.

You know my name. I follow the team.

You loom pretty large these days.

Detective. Detective.

Ooh, I love your nail polish.

Is that chartreuse?

No. Huh.

It sucks that he got killed, but I'm not
going to act like I'm going to miss

him. I heard you two had a big fight
yesterday.

You didn't tell me about that.

Detective. Got an alibi. I do, but my
alibi is none of your business.

What? Oh!

Wow. You scared me. Um, you need to see
this.

I found the victim's school ID badge in
this cubby right here.

But if he left for the night, why
wouldn't he take this with him unless he

didn't leave for the night?

I don't follow.

Well, I remember that you told me you
had frostbite, which is strange because

when I walked Gonzo last night, it
wasn't that cold.

It doesn't have to be that cold if
you're out for a long time. Can you get

the point?

Oh, yes.

This? is an ice therapy bath.

Very cold.

And look at this.

What am I looking at? Blood.

I mean, not much.

Maybe Dave was killed in the ice bath,
and then when the killer cleaned up the

mess, they missed the spot.

I mean, it's hard to see against the
school colors. There are a lot of heavy

objects around here you could use to
kill someone.

Exactly.

Maybe the killer dressed the body and
then...

across the street to make it look like a
robbery.

Okay. I'm calling this in so we can
process it as a crime scene, and then

going to bring Peyton in for
questioning.

Wait.

The coach's young friend?

Yeah. She had a fight with the victim.
She's got no alibi, and she has access

facilities for some reason.

But how did such a tiny little woman...

That big body.

All by yourself.

I'm sure we'll figure it out.

All right.

Want to tell me what I'm looking at
here, Lieutenant?

Those are the results of the
department's internal cybersecurity

I wanted to give you a heads up because
they identified several weak spots,

including, well, you.

Excuse me? All department employees
received an email containing a link to

unsecured website duped to look like the
NYPD's login page.

Yeah, I remember this email.

Why won't they ever just let us use an
old password?

I don't know, but it was a phishing
test, and you handed over your

two minutes after the email went out.
Let me get this straight.

You played a trick on me?

Not a trick.

A cyber security.

Stress test.

Well, it sounds like police entrapment
to me. Sir, I recognize you have some

anxiety around technology.

No, I have some anxiety around whether
or not my own people are looking to make

a fool of me. Sir, departments have lost
millions of dollars to ransomware

hackers using these methods.

You put the department at risk.

Oh, no, I didn't. Because there were no
real hackers. There was just you.

All you need to do is pass a simple,
quick remedial retreat. Say remedial one

more time and find out what happens.

Captain? Is she here?

This isn't over.

Several players overheard Dave say you
were banned from the facility.

And yet you were back this morning,
almost like you knew Dave wouldn't be a

problem. No, I did know that.

Because he didn't have the balls to tell
Russell how he felt. We're sending a

team to your home with a warrant.

We're gonna comb through everything.

Your clothes, your shampoo.

If one speck of Dave's blood turns up,
you're done.

If there's anything we should know, you
can save everyone a lot of trouble if

you tell us now.

Or I could hire a lawyer.

Huh? Do you think I'm stupid?

If you're this dead set on pinning this
on me, then I'm not talking to either

one of you guys.

And I want a lawyer.

I still don't... I don't understand how
someone as petite as Peyton could have

moved Dave's frozen body all the way out
to the street. Did you see her

manicure?

Flawless. What did that have to do with
it? Well, don't you think she would have

at least chipped a nail?

Maybe she had an accomplice. Or a good
gel manicure. Yeah, good point. Have you

looked into Coach Willoughby?

I'll check his alibi, but... He didn't
know about Peyton's fight with Dave.

She didn't tell him. And neither did any
of the players who heard it. What?

What?

He doesn't seem up to it.

I was excited when they announced the
hire, but it's sad seeing him like this.

He should have stayed retired.

It seems a little harsh.

They've only played three games.

It's not his record. It's the way he's
letting this woman embarrass him. He

looks ridiculous.

Trust me.

She's the one calling the shots.

Are you sure you're not letting your
fandom cloud your judgment? Oh, come on.

She's a nightmare.

Exactly.

What? It's not how you would behave if
you needed to keep a low profile.

That's your defense she's acting too
guilty?

Yes.

Well put.

Okay, counselor.

If your girl didn't do it, why doesn't
she just tell us her alibi?

Good question.

I don't know.

Well, if you want to clear this woman
out, Beth, you need to find out what she

was doing the night of the murder.

Come with me.

Somerville?

Captain?

Mr. Passione?

Elizabeth needs your help chasing
something down.

Of course, sir. Thank you for the
opportunity. I won't let you down. Okay,

down. What's the cybersecurity
retraining module?

Oh, it's... It's embarrassing. I failed
the department phishing test. You?

But you're so youthful.

Oh, I love those phishing tests.

They're like a game. They're like
Wordle, only easier.

I mean, they haven't tricked me yet,
but... It's fun to see all the ways they

try.

That night, I was in Coach's office. We
were watching some tape.

Great. That's exactly what he said.

Hey, between us, what do you make of his
girlfriend?

Who? Peyton?

Uh, I don't know. I mean, kind of weird,
I guess. She's, like, super young.

He's, like, super old.

She must be real detractive.

Oh, really?

I mean, the media makes it seem like
it's this big thing, but honestly, she's

giving me some good tips on monetizing
my socials, yo.

That's positive. Yeah, and, like, I was
all nervous when Coach got hired because

he used to, like, be famous for throwing
balls at players at practice and stuff.

Actually, he's been super chill, so
maybe he just needed to get laid.

Hey, is there, like, a reason you were
interviewing everybody on the court? Oh,

no.

Honestly...

This is just a real dream for me.

Oh, bro, in that case, let me put one up
in your honor.

Can we take a selfie for my kid?

Yeah, yo, gotta get back.

What up, kid?

I don't believe this.

What's that, man?

Another website just spelled it wrong.
Mysterious Red Hat E -L -S -P -E -T -H.

They're just copy -pasting the New York
Confidential. Is my son the last fact

-checker working in all of journalism?

Is that like a job people used to have,
or... Oh, here we go. Is that your

sports club? My fantasy league, yeah.
One of my guys might actually have

something. Okay, here, pull up this
morning's episode of the Steve Trey

Okay, what's that?

Uh, sports radio guy. Okay, he says
start at 2 hours and 13 minutes.

The show is longer than 2 hours?

And people like that?

Well, if you're joining us, it looks
like Peyton Ramsey may not just be an

succubus. She may also be a murderer,
allegedly.

Big Lou from Queens, John with Steve
Trey. Now, in your opinion, did Peyton

Ramsey murder the St.

Ivan's athletic director?

I'm going to have to say no, Steve.

No? Well, you're in the minority here,
Big Lou. Make a case.

that easy.

So, worth checking out, huh?

With all due respect to Big Lou, it must
have been a lookalike.

Why? Just in from the lab.

They identified some smudges found on
Dave's tracksuit. It was L -Mem's August

Wind Shade of Concealer.

Guess what shade of cover -up we found
at Peyton's house.

September Breeze?

We're bringing her in.

What happened to your lawyer?

He was an idiot.

And I didn't murder anyone, so why would
I pay some overpriced lobotomite for

his crap advice?

Great. Well, then you can explain to me
how your makeup was found on the sweats

Dave was wearing when they found his
body.

It doesn't feel like my job.

Maybe he brushed up on me that day.

He was a creep.

The makeup was under his armpits, like
you had it on your hands when you were

lifting the body.

Well, then someone is framing me.

I still don't think this is enough to
charge her.

The killer might just wear the same
shade of makeup as Peyton.

Elmem makes over 150 specific shades of
concealer. That would be quite the

coincidence. Where are we on that alibi?

Well, Captain, we are not nowhere, but
we are also not somewhere.

So that leaves you where?

Exactly. Let's hold her 24 hours.

Elsbeth, you're running out of time.

Even if... Coach weren't all horned up.
He'd be struggling.

I mean, college is a completely
different skill set from the pros.

Yeah. It's all about recruiting. And
with all this NIL stuff now going on.

Right. And that is all very interesting.
But again, the question that I asked

about 20 miles back, how did you know it
was Peyton in your cab the night of the

murder? Did you speak with her? Oh, I
tried. Yeah.

There we go.

Because if she's the one really coaching
the team, then boy, do I have some

advice for her.

I mean, some of these offensive sets
that they're running, way too much pick

roll, you know? You can't expect these
young kids to figure it out all by

themselves. Totally. Yes, and I really
want to hear more about that. But when

you said you tried... She said if I
didn't quit yapping, she wouldn't tip.

does sound like her.

Yeah, because it was her.

Anyway, what I would have told her is
that they got to go back to the flex

offense that got them the championship
in the 90s. Absolutely.

Because the 90s came around as a
beautiful game, right? Sure.

And you said that she said to drop her
at this house.

That's the one?

Yeah. Do you need a ride back? Because I
can wait.

You know what, Lou?

I think I'll take the train.

Okay.

Lieutenant, you're looking at the
freshly minted graduate of NYPD's

cybersecurity refresher training online
module.

Congratulations, Captain. I hope you'll
take these cybersecurity issues more

seriously going forward.

Oh, no. No cash?

No, no. I've got some right. Well,
consider this a gesture of goodwill.

No worries about the entrapment
business. It was an internal stress

Never mind.

Thank you.

Hang on, Peg. Someone's at my door. Hi.
I said no contact delivery.

You could just leave it on the doorstep.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Sorry. I'm Elsbeth Tassioni with a B.

and I am with the police, uh, sort of.
What does sort of mean?

This woman says she's with the police
department.

She's dressed like a sour patch kid.

I'm so sorry to bother you, but do you
know this woman?

Hang on, Peg.

No, never seen her. Really?

She didn't come and visit you the other
night? Or someone who looks like her,

maybe? No. Listen, I gotta go.

No, Peg, not you.

Um, so sorry. Is there anyone else who
lives here? Maybe. No.

Okay. Good luck.

Have a good one.

Thank you.

Rats.

Strange.

I know where you were the night of the
murder.

Cool. Me too.

Do you think that if I order sushi to
the precinct, they'll bring it back to

I don't. But I do think that while
someone was murdering Dave Coppins, you

meeting with a potential recruit.

Oliver Ashford of John Adams Junior High
School.

That is one tall 14 -year -old.

Is that where Oliver said I was?

He wouldn't give you up. But by the way,
eighth grade.

Seems very premature for college
recruiting.

You don't think he's talking to every
program in the country right now? Well,

everyone is doing it, then why won't you
tell the truth?

Because when I do it, it's an
international scandal.

Thank you.

Why do you think people react so
negatively to you? It seems like you're

trying to help. People act like it's the
age difference between me and Russ, but

really, I just think they're miserable,
lonely losers who hate to see two people

who are actually happy.

Right. Have you ever tried approaching
people in a less conflict

-forward manner?

And do what?

Act quirky and naive so people find me
less threatening?

Is that what you think I'm doing?

Maybe it's generational.

But I do think it's a little sad that
you feel like you have to do all of that

to be taken seriously.

Me, I'm just not going to apologize for
being direct.

And how's that working out for you?

You're not going to get me to tell you
where I was that night.

Besides it being illegal, it would ruin
Russ's reputation.

No one would believe that he didn't
know. And it would be tape gate all over

again. Tape gate.

Big Lou used that word, too. What's tape
gate? So when Russ was coaching the

NBA, the visiting team found a wiretap
in their locker room.

It was the assistant coach, and he swore
that Russ didn't know. But Russ and

Peter just couldn't accept that.

You know, when you win, as much as Russ
does, people just want to take you down.

A bugging device.

Interesting.

Are you sure I can't order the sushi?

No need. You're free to go.

What? Yeah, you might not want to admit
it, but I convinced them you were in

Long Island, so they're not pressing
charges right now.

Feels like you could open with that.

Where are you going?

Are you going to call someone to tell
them to let me out?

Hello?

Elspeth, what's going on? What are we
doing here?

Remember?

We asked some of the players to meet us
here.

To, you know, sign some autographs for
your son.

Right. I remember.

Really? That would be amazing.

Okay, what kind of autographs are we
looking for?

Well, I'm not sure yet, but we'll know
them when we see them.

Well, will we be looking for them long,
do you anticipate?

Hopefully.

You should wear the new bomber I got
you, babe.

Whatever you say.

I'm just glad that those police have
stopped harassing you.

Right? I mean, we've had this resi for,
like, months. Yeah, but I don't

understand how they can keep holding you
without any evidence.

I told you, it doesn't matter.

You just focus on the job, and I'll
do... What are you doing?

Oh, this?

No, no, it's stupid.

Sorry, I just...

We were doing that photo shoot. I
thought that you were looking at my age

so I thought I'd borrow this from you
for a little while.

So you've been wearing my concealer
since when?

Since last week?

Yeah, I know. It's vain.

I didn't think you'd mind.

It's cute.

What can I tell you?

You make me do crazy things.

Why would he bug his own players' locker
room?

We're guessing he installed the wire
because he wanted to know which players

were talking about him and Peyton to the
media. He could have listened to the

tapes late that night and heard Dave
insulting him.

Big Lou told me all about Coach's old
rage issues.

Who's Big Lou? Don't ask. Maybe he saw
Dave in that ice bath and, oh, he got so

angry. Just one problem. Coach was
watching tape all evening with one of

players, Xavier Dunlap.

The kid confirmed it. Sounds like we
have to go back and kick their tires on

this alibi.

On it. Will do.

Oh, no. Did you lose something,
Lieutenant?

What? No.

Hey, Elspeth with a B.

Nice hustle.

Coach. Is that that police lawyer?

Coach, whoa.

Oh, my gosh. Let me in.

I'm winded.

You two are very fast walkers.

Yes, well, we have places to be.

Right, I'm sorry.

I'm just following up on... Oh, by the
way, do either of you know any good

orthopedists? Because my knees are...
Sorry.

Following up on Dave's murder.

Don't worry. I know both of your alibis.

Oh, by the way, Coach, I've been
watching a bit of game tape myself.

It is so exciting.

All that stuff.

What game were you and Xavier looking
at? No.

Russell watches so much tape. It's okay.
I was looking at a cut -up of last

week's practice.

If that's all you need to know, I've got
a lot to do. Oh, right. I'm sorry.

Good luck, coach.

What are you doing here, Elspeth?

Well, in the interest of being direct,
I'm wondering how much you trust your

boyfriend's alibi.

No. Mm -mm. Husband now.

Sweet Leo.

What a rock. When did that...

We got the idea at dinner last night,
and we just couldn't let it go.

What better way to silence the haters?

We just got back from City Hall.

Congratulations.

It's so romantic.

And it must be such a relief to have
that financial security in case anything

should...

happened to him. I don't know what
you're implying. And as much as I would

to stand here and answer all of your
invasive questions, that would be

my spousal privilege.

Actually, spousal privilege only applies
in court testimony, but I guess you

fired your lawyer.

Ms.

Tassioni. Hi. Hi. I'm afraid I have to
ask you to leave.

Pardon me? You're harassing team
personnel, and frankly, you're becoming

distraction. Ooh, never a good sign when
they call us back. So unless you have a

warrant... Did Coach send you out here?
Consider yourself unwelcome in these

facilities going forward.

Ooh.

Okay. Oh, sorry.

Sweet.

Oh, thank you, sir.

Yes? This is a courtesy call as we may
have detected some fraud on your

Okay. I'd love to just run through a few
unusual purchases with you if you have

a moment.

Did you purchase a bachelorette sash and
tiara set for $56 .17?

What? No.

Okay, looks like there may have been a
breach.

Let's run through a few more purchases
to make sure.

A phallus -shaped pool floatie for $86
.05.

Phallus -shaped?

No, definitely not. I am so sorry to
hear that. May I ask, do you have your

physical card on your person?

Well, no. I can't actually find my
wallet. So someone must have...

You left it unattended on the conference
room table after the department. Why?

I kept meaning to return it. And yet, it
slipped your mind? Well, you know,

Lieutenant, protocol requires us to
report a missing badge.

I know.

But I was sure it would turn up, and
it... It's just so much paperwork.

Oh, yeah, it's kind of like the remedial
NYPD cybersecurity refresher training

online module.

You didn't actually buy a phallus
-shaped pool floaty on my card, did you?

That would be fraud.

I trust you take these security matters
a bit more seriously going forward.

Dude, where you been? I'm super late.

I was at the police station.

What? What's going on?

Nothing.

Come on, man. I'm your captain.

Bro, the other day, Coach asked me to
say that we were watching tape together

when Dave died.

He asked you to lie?

Yeah. He said he was doing some
recruiting stuff and he didn't want them

know. But the cops, like, figured out we
lied. And now they think it was either

him or me.

For real? Then, dude, you just got to
tell them where you were.

I did.

I fell asleep in the players' lounge
playing Xbox, and I got nobody to vouch

that. I'm freaking out.

Okay, all right. When I talked to them,
they were thinking that it was Peyton.

Apparently she had an alibi.

Really? Because I thought they had,
like, forensic evidence or something.

Forensic evidence or something?

Yeah, apparently they found her makeup
on Dave's body because they were asking

him, like, I framed her.

How would you know what kind of makeup
Peyton wears, right? Like, maybe look at

the guy that lives with her?

Wow. Do you really think that coach
could have killed Dave?

Maybe he framed Peyton because he's too
afraid to break up with her.

Before we go out there,

I want to say something.

Been a hard week.

We lost Dave Coppins.

I know that tragedy is hanging over you.

It's hanging over me.

So, no one would blink if you guys went
out there today and played like crap.

But you know what we don't do here at
St. Ivan's? We don't let adversity

us. Because we...

Stay in the game.

Do you guys want to go out there and
shove all those expectations in their

faces?

Come on.

You guys have done the work. Now I want
to see you all go out and play the game

the way I know you can, as Dave would
want you to. So get out there and win

game for Dave.

All right? Come on, let's go.

Whoop!

I always wondered what kind of
visibility these mascots have, but turns

can see pretty much everything. You
cannot be in here.

Yes, I know.

However, Thingy can go wherever he...
She?

Thingy can go wherever Thingy wants. And
did Thingy just witness you planting

evidence? Yep.

Babe, where...

Oh, boy.

Let's turn to the replay.

Shall we?

Tune out the noise. That was your
philosophy.

But when Peyton said that your own
players were talking about you to the

you had to know which ones.

So you bogged your own locker room.

And to think I defended you all through
tape gate. Late one night, you, uh...

Listened to the day's recordings and...
You heard something you didn't like. You

heard Dave confronting Peyton.

But more important, you heard all the
stuff that no one would say to your face

and... That pissed you off!

It triggered your old rage issues.

You'd been lifting weights, getting fit
for your lady.

So when you threw something at Dave that
night in the ice bath, you didn't know

your own strength.

You killed him. You have no way of
knowing this. We know you tried to frame

of your own players just now.

Not cool, coach.

You mind if you show us your hands?

Well, sure. I'm not wearing any makeup,
but nice try.

Oh, no.

I just need to put handcuffs on her.

You know what they say.

It's not the crime.

It's the cover -up.

Hey, thanks for the help.

All I did was ask a good friend a few
questions. Well, when you're done

ball and looking for a job in criminal
justice, give me a call.

I guess St.

Ivan's needs a new coach.

There's always next season.

Well, not for all of us.

I was wrong about you.

You're plenty confrontational when you
need to be.

Sorry about all of this.

No, you're not.

You should lead into that.

Officer?

Good work helping Elizabeth on this one.

And thanks again for the help on that
cyber course. Of course, sir. It's just

fraction of the things I learn from you
every day.

You'll give me a heads up if I ever turn
into that old guy that no one wants to

tell when to move on. Not if I'm in an
ice bath, I won't.

Fair enough.

It's L's Beth.

E -L -S -B -E -T -H.

Have some integrity.

Taking a page from Peyton Ramsey's
playbook, I see. I don't know why it

me so much.

Oh, no one likes losing control of their
narrative.

And media companies aren't always kind
to women connected to powerful men. Even

men like Alec Bloom.

Yeah, I really like Alec.

I'm just... Not so sure I'm cut out for
mayoral politics.

I'm not like Peyton.

I don't know.

Yeah, she made a real Cinderella run,
but I'm not sure we'll be hearing much

from Mrs.

Russell Willoughby anymore.

My guest this week is the founder of
Paramore Cosmetics, which recently sold

Elmem for an eye -popping nine figures.

Peyton Ramsey.

Welcome to the podcast.

Thank you for having me, Ava.

Now, you developed your patented
concealer formula after the police

of a murder that was actually committed
by your ex -husband?

I've always loved makeup.

But being wrongfully accused really
showed me that there's a gap in the

for high -end, smudge -free products.

You have such a genius for viral
marketing.

And part of that is leveraging your own
personal story. So forgive me, but I

have to ask the rumors.

About you and Senator Lindsey Graham.

I've read those rumors too, Ava. They
choose not to dignify people's gossip

a response.

They try and stay focused on the
business.
