Previously on Necessary Roughness:

Wiretapping?

Start with Coach, then cast a wide net.

Vera Dade, right?

We're cleaning the guano left by Pittman.

This is about wiretaps.

Specifically, Pittman's role in ordering and installing them.

Augusto took a job in Barcelona.

I'm moving there with him.

We're having a baby, baby.

Got a Venti? This ain't gonna work.

- He passed the drug test, Dani. - I know TK's abusing.

- What are you asking me to do? - Whatever it takes.

How did he not test positive?

Players call that a flush.

It removes all traces of drugs from the system.

Terrence is in deep, Nico.

In singles tennis, you play alone,

the master of your own domain.

But when you have a doubles partner, someone you rely on...

Got it.

Boundaries blur.

And when lines are crossed,

there are always consequences,

whether we like them

or not.

Come on.

It's not Gusto's fault, okay?

Some big reviewer makes a reservation at his restaurant.

I mean, he's the owner.

He can't just fly the coop.

But it's our baby shower.

Right, but he's in Madrid, not Manhattan.

You're right.

Besides, it'll be mucho better without the macho.

- Hey, monkey. - Morning, monkey.

Okay, so I did some research, narrowed down my options.

Ithaca College, Syracuse.

East Coast, away from home.

But I could still come home on the weekends.

We discussed this.

Because of Dad's tax issues,

you have got to start looking at state schools,

like SUNY Purchase or Binghamton, or live at home and go to Hofstra.

So I studied my ass off for the SATs to live at home?

Are you kidding me? It's fine.

- I'll just raise the money myself. - Right.

Well, there's something to look forward to, huh?

- So you play doubles? - Mixed doubles.

- Ranked 13th in the world. - 17th.

Not after the loss at TAC.

We dropped four spots?

Now we're behind Buchwald and Carney,

with her ridiculous grunting

and his idiotic clothing line.

It's been a rough stretch.

Okay. So, what brings you to--?

- Our game's a mess. - It's our serving.

No, it's our poaching.

I'm noticing a tendency for you two to run over each other while you talk.

- She ran over-- - He--

Hey, hey.

See this stone?

Whoever's holding this stone gets to speak uninterrupted.

Yeah?

So boom.

Allison, why don't you give me some background?

Well, we met seven years ago.

Ted and I were training at Somerset Tennis Academy in Florida.

I was 19.

He was 22.

We started playing doubles.

One thing led to another, and we've been married for four years now.

Happily.

Very. And we--

Take the stone.

We've been kicking ass ever since.

Allison's been called the female McEnroe, fierce.

We've been moving up in the rankings until about six months ago?

Our game fell apart.

Off the court, we're great.

But on the court, we hit a ceiling.

Started losing tournaments.

- And we just can't get in sync. - We can't get it together.

Where are you? You were supposed to be here an hour ago.

Tell them to take a chill pill.

Just took a detour from training camp.

Nothing to get your agent pantaloons in a twist about.

Remember, million-dollar endorsement deal? Commercial?

Yeah, Sport-E Boost shoot.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Come on, you got a whole set waiting on you.

TK, you there?

You there?

Hello?

Son of a bitch.

Somebody broke into my house.

What? You sure?

Terrence?

Terrence?

Hey, T.

Terrence, what did they take?

Pain pills.

I have evidence TK's abusing.

He just passed a drug test last week.

Because he's been using this.

A flush.

Cleans out all substances in your system.

It's banned by the league, I know.

- Not my first barbecue. - Apparently it's not his, either.

Where'd you get this?

You don't wanna know.

Actually, I do.

Hey.

- She up to speed on this? - TK.

- About the pills. - I already told her.

I can't disclose to anyone where I got this evidence.

Oh, T.

God, our first game's in 10 days.

TK has been killing it at practice. This is...

Hank is gonna fight us on this.

Better to lose him for the first game than the whole season.

Or worse.

Excuse me.

Vera?

Been a while. When'd you get in?

This morning.

I'm your first stop. Flattered.

I got a call from a reporter.

He was approached to buy tapes secretly recorded in this facility.

- What? - Months' worth of private conversations.

Between players, management.

That's quite a claim.

It's more than a claim.

We drug-test TK, that'll raise a red flag for Hank.

Which is why we're gonna test the whole team.

You have got a serious security breach.

Every dark, dirty secret on this team could go public in the next 24 hours.

Over my dead body.

Somebody had the nerve to break into my place and take my stuff?

I just feel so violated.

What stuff?

What does it matter what they took? It was my stuff.

All right, I just wanna know if it was valuable stuff.

Have you met me?

Everything I own is valuable.

So was it photographs, or anything irreplaceable?

Are you the Doc with the Dragon Tattoo?

You're gonna have to tell the police something.

I'm not making a report. I'm not a snitch.

You said valuable things were taken, so why wouldn't you go to the police?

Are you serious? Is this an interrogation?

I'm the victim. Whose side are you on?

When I find out who did this, it's gonna get gangsta in here.

Real gangsta.

I thought you put the damn things there.

Pittman wanted me to wiretap the entire team.

Oh, but you never did.

No, the only person I bugged was him.

And now we got a full-blown infestation.

I want you to pound the pavement.

Track down who the seller is. Smoke him or her out.

What are you gonna do when you find him or her?

Use your imagination.

Okay, so today we are gonna work on communication on the court.

I just want you guys to rally, real relaxed.

Each time you hit the ball, I want you to say a word.

- What word? - Doesn't matter, any word.

But it is your partner's job to repeat that word back, okay?

Because the idea is to establish a constant connection.

Okay, let's do it.

Squeedunk.

Squeedunk's not even a word.

It's a made-up word.

The rule is, use an actual word.

Ted, Allison.

Whatever the word, just go with it.

Okay, squeedunk it is.

- Squeedunk. - Squeedunk.

- Connect. - Connect.

- Kalamazoo. - Kalamazoo.

- Hoboken. - Hoboken.

Yeah.

Yonkers.

Yonkers.

Pickle.

Pickle, baby.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Pickle, baby.

Okay, everybody, let's get started.

Step one, you wanna tap and shout to see if the child is conscious.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hey. - Hi.

- Hey. - Hi, baby.

Okay, step two:

You want to give 30 compressions on the chest.

Hi.

We're the Weiners.

I'm Debbie.

- This is Barry. - Hi.

You are so brave.

Having a baby alone.

Did you use a sperm donor?

Oh, you think...

I'm not alone.

So where is he?

Or she.

Spain.

He is very tall, very good-looking.

He used to play for a pro soccer team.

Now he owns a very successful tapas bar in Madrid.

Step three:

You want to open the airway by gently lifting the chin,

then giving two breaths.

Yeah...

Did you see that? Pregnant chicks making out with babies.

That's the best celibacy commercial I've ever seen.

Yeah, you know what's worse?

Rejection.

Trying to save money for college. Can't even get a job as a barista.

Because I don't have experience.

- That blows. - Tell me about it.

Gonna be living with my mother for the rest of my life.

I know a surefire way to make a lot of bank.

Rob a bank?

No, my brother at Hofstra has an open slot in his fantasy football league.

First prize takes home 20 grand.

Jesus Christ. That's a lot.

- What's the buy-in? - Two grand.

Okay, so lose $2000. Right. You know you have to actually win those?

That's the beauty of the whole thing. You have good contacts in with Hawks.

Dude, it's a golden opportunity. I'm just saying.

What do I have to do to take advantage of this golden opportunity?

Come up with your end of the buy-in, 1000 bucks.

Dude, there's no downside.

That was a good start.

- Yeah, it felt much-- - Better.

- Good serving. - Good volleying.

Good communication.

Now that we've established that tool, we'll keep trying to expand your toolbox.

Great. Oh, hey, there's Bob and Carolyn.

I'll go thank them for being our practice partners.

Ted and I have been working, playing together forever.

He mentored me. He takes care of me.

He loves me.

I don't want the tennis to get in the way of our marriage.

What's next?

Wednesday, my office.

Until then, practice these communication techniques, okay?

You do them around the house, do them on the courts.

- Okay, sounds good. - See you then.

All right, bye.

Dr. Santino, hold on. Wait. Hold on.

- You don't understand. - I think I do.

No, I don't think you do. Allie and I, we're...

How do I say this?

We don't just swing on the court.

We're swingers.

Say what now?

Matt, we've been down this road.

Not exactly.

We have evidence now.

Yes, you do.

- And apparently it was obtained illegally. - What?

We have reason to believe

somebody from this team broke into my client's apartment.

Legally prescribed pain pills were stolen from his home

right after you ambushed him at camp with a random drug test.

Which he passed with flying colors.

Doesn't take a genius to connect the dots.

You make any accusations about TK's alleged drug abuse,

and I will report this break-in to the authorities.

And the press.

Gentlemen.

A break-in?

At a player's home?

Did you know about this?

No.

Fix it, Donnally. Fix it now.

Or we'll find ourselves in the middle of a criminal investigation.

And if Mr. Careles had a hand in this, he's history.

Where'd you say the pain was, Mr. King?

I didn't.

It's in my back and in my leg.

This should help.

Thanks.

And this should tide you over.

Nice to meet you, Mr. King.

Hope you feel better.

Dead end? That's unacceptable. You double the bounty.

I want every available resource out there combing for those tapes. You got that?

Breaking into TK's apartment? Are you insane?

- I'll assume that's rhetorical. - So you don't deny it.

Look, Matt, you wanted me to get proof of TK's drug use.

I got that for you.

He won't go to the police. He's using it to back us off.

Yeah, and that's a hell of a threat.

The allegations alone would be a blow to this team.

So would losing TK to drugs.

Now I got no leverage. My hands are tied.

As a nice little bonus, my job is on the line, and so is yours.

- That's not the half of it. - What?

- What the hell? - It's a bug.

I found this in the media room.

Jesus.

And not just there.

The GM's office.

The locker room.

Every inch of this facility has been wiretapped.

God knows what's on there.

God and whoever else has the tapes.

So excuse my unpleasantries,

but I'm busy trying to save our asses before this goes public.

So swinging.

How did you start the lifestyle?

A few months ago, we were playing at the open in Dallas.

We completely melted down.

We were knocked out in the first round by a qualifier.

We had a huge fight, and...

I went to the hotel bar, and I met this guy.

Gary Haas. We're on the tour together.

And I had a few too many drinks, and I kissed him.

Allie came back to the room and told me everything.

She said, she felt stifled.

And I didn't wanna cheat on Ted, so he came up with this idea.

To swing.

Yeah.

Our sex life is not the problem. It's our game.

Swinging is a very specific choice, especially for such a young couple,

so I am thinking that we need to explore the connection

between the partnership, on and off the court.

I have an idea.

We're hosting a party for our swingers club tonight.

You should come by.

You're welcome to explore all you want.

Hey, Dad.

I was wondering if I can get an advance on some allowance.

Yeah, it's for a project I'm working on.

No?

No, totally cool. Totally cool. Yeah.

Hey, you sell stuff on eBay, right?

Yeah, I got four pairs of shoes.

I got a vintage Game Boy,

a tennis racket with only one broken string,

and an ex-girlfriend's T-shirt in mint condition.

Yeah.

Grandma, you're always asking what I need for my birthday.

Well, this year, I have an answer.

A thousand dollars.

Grandma?

Oh, Ray Jay, hey. You got any superglue?

- Stay on him! - I give it to you.

Time!

QB, you need to sit this one out!

I made nice with Maroney.

We can put this whole thing behind us if we don't rock the boat.

What'd you find out?

I had Nico look into it.

Not so sure it's an inside job after all.

Well, TK's killing it out there,

and the Hawks live or die with him this season.

You need to butter Maroney up.

I want assurances that Mr. King's allegations aren't going anywhere.

- Come on, hold on to it. - He's got this.

- Go, baby! - All right.

See that?

Know what I'm saying? That boy don't play.

That boy don't play. Neither does this boy.

Sport-E Boost shoot? Rescheduled.

Hank's ass? Kicked.

That's what I'm talking about.

I won't let them mess with my main man's season

after he worked his ass off to recover.

Come on.

You my dude.

- I'm your dude? - You my dude.

- It's me? - You my dude.

- Just a little bit? - You my dude.

Okay.

Yeah.

So these are our private cabanas, where we have one-on-one sessions.

So everybody here...

Are members of the club.

- You have to be invited. - And you have to follow the rules.

Rule number one: No touching without permission.

No means no.

Rule number two: Safe sex always.

Last but not least, clothing is not optional at the food table, obviously.

Obviously.

And then there's our personal rules.

Every couple in the lifestyle has them.

And what are yours?

Agree on everything up front.

Be home in our own bed at the end of the evening.

Oh, and then there's the Raoul rule.

The Raoul rule?

Hey, Raoul.

Hello, Raoul.

Raoul. Member of the club, but he's not on our list.

Not trustworthy. Caused a lot of trouble for other couples.

So, Raoul is a no-go.

Brit and Sam are here. Oh, excuse me.

Okay.

- Hey, you guys. - I won't be staying long.

So don't worry about me.

- New to the club? - Oh, God, no.

I'm just observing.

You like to watch?

Why didn't you run with the story?

Secret audio tapes, tempting.

But The Times is no tabloid. I immediately contacted Ms. Dade.

You say the call was anonymous?

From a pay phone, no less. Didn't know those still existed.

Phil, you said you took notes.

What other information was this person offering?

Tape of Marshall Pittman having a nervous breakdown,

some talk about a player hooked on pain pills.

This will wet your whistle.

The guy has tapes of players talking to a doctor.

Not a medical doctor.

Some lady head shrink.

- Yeah. - All right.

Is it what you expected?

Well, honestly, you know, it's like a cocktail party,

but with more...

Tail?

I never thought I'd be involved in something like this.

But in a way, it's every guy's fantasy.

Have sex with as many hot women as you want, and your wife doesn't mind.

Not a bad deal.

Well, but is that the deal that you wanted for yourself?

I love Allison. I'd do anything for her.

Allison.

Ted. Jesus, no!

What was that about?

She broke the rules. I broke Raoul.

Nico, I've had a really trying day.

- Is this something that can wait? - No, it can't.

Why? What's wrong?

Your office has been bugged.

Oh, my God.

Why? How did--? How did that happen?

I'm gonna find out whoever did this,

and recover the tapes before they go public.

Don't you get it? The damage has already been done.

My practice. No.

My patients.

They could all wake up tomorrow, and every sacred intimate thing

that they've shared in here could be all over the Internet.

- That is not gonna happen. - How do you know that?

I'm not gonna let it.

Not to the Hawks, not to you.

This team has compromised me

in ways that I never even knew existed.

I need you to go, please.

Bugs in your office?

Yes.

Sorry, Dani.

Sorry you're caught up in this mess.

What can I do?

Anything you need.

I need you to get the team to do an intervention for Terrence.

Look, the evidence was obtained illegally.

Maroney says, they will press criminal charges if we move forward.

All we really have is a negative drug test.

Please, stop making excuses. Please.

Don't make me regret taking this job.

- Come on. - Fight it.

A hundred eighty-seven dollars and thirty-four cents.

You said your grams was gonna give you the money.

Horse didn't come in.

I could front you the rest in exchange for a favor.

Depends. What's the favor?

Use of your backyard for my organic herb business.

Organic herb?

You mean weed.

That's illegal. My mom would skin me.

My mom would kill me.

You're not doing anything. I'm just renting your dirt.

My bro left me a couple of plants, but my yard's too small.

But if you're too scared, it's cool.

I'll find another partner for the fantasy football league.

You really think we have a chance of winning?

With your inside knowledge and my seed money,

the odds are stacked in our favor.

Today we're going to recap everything we've learned in mommy prep so far.

Jeanette, why don't you demonstrate?

- Okay. - Go ahead.

Step one: Tap and holler. Hey!

Step two: Chest compressions, 30 times.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

You get the picture. Step three...

Open the airway by gently lifting the chin.

Yeah.

Sorry we have to meet at your house today.

My office is being fumigated.

So, Allison,

do you understand why it is that Ted is angry with you?

Because I broke the Raoul rule?

Can you explain to Ted why you did that?

I don't know.

Because she's self-destructive.

You'll have your turn, I promise you.

Allison.

Raoul came on to me.

You've abided by those rules before, so, what was so different this time?

I don't know.

Because you don't wanna be married?

- I don't know. - Stop saying that.

Allison, "I don't know" usually means "I don't want to tell you."

Is there something that you don't want to tell Ted?

Let's just call this what it is.

Your attempt to sabotage our relationship.

No, Ted, please. I love you. I wanna stay married.

I'm gonna pack my things.

It's over.

It's not your fault.

Breaches happen. They happen to the best of us.

Not to me.

There's a first time for everything.

And sometimes, if you're lucky, maybe a second.

Could help take your mind off things.

I'm not used to making mistakes.

Nico, I do think that you're being too hard on yourself.

I don't like letting people down.

People?

You mean, Dani?

Your friend?

Yeah.

You gonna get that?

No.

I have a lead.

- You're not gonna tell me what it is. - Not yet.

They're sloppy.

I'm not.

Nico, it's Tony.

Ran down every lead on the tapes.

Turned up nothing.

Whoever did this?

Real pro, man.

Well?

That's the guy. Guy who tried to sell me the tapes.

I need to be certain.

Positive. Hundred percent.

- Your pal know you're on to him? - No.

But he will.

I hate to be offsides,

but one of you ladies is about to call me for holding,

and that's a five-yard penalty.

T.

Boy.

Oh, Donnally, you're like a bad rash.

Just here to support the player.

And build a bridge. We do have to work together.

Please, Hank's up your ass. You're trying to make nice.

You're not particularly good at sucking up.

Why I never became an agent.

In the history of football, no player has ever gone to rehab

seven days before a season to kick pain pills.

Okay, marks, everyone.

Where you going?

Mr. King, if it's not too much trouble.

You are either in denial

or looking the other way so you keep getting paid.

I care about Terrence King. Been with me since the beginning.

Like the brother I never had, and I have three.

- Really? - Settle.

Here we go. And action.

Sport-E Boost.

- Sex in a cup. - Cut.

Okay.

Terrence, shades.

- Oh, you don't like them? - No.

No, all we need is you and the Sport-E Boost.

Thank you.

Okay, here we go. And action.

Sport-E Boost.

Aphrodisiac, pow. Wonder--

Back to one.

And action.

Sport-E Boost.

Better than urine.

Sport-E Boost.

Now not as flammable.

Sport-E Boost.

May cause sterility.

That... It's true.

Back to one.

Sport-E Boost.

The uncola.

Sport-E Boost.

Put it in your mouth.

Oh, my God.

Cut. Going again.

Sport-E Boost.

Sport-E Boost.

It's a little bit better with vodka.

Terrence.

Would it be possible to get one take with our slogan said correctly?

- If that's what you want. - Let's try it.

You want it conventional.

Here we go.

And...

action.

Sport-E Boost.

It's...

Okay, cut.

Why are you cutting? I'm giving you pearls over here, baby.

Organizing your whole whack scene.

You couldn't organize a pissing contest in a pub.

Might wanna drop the bass out your voice, homeboy.

Or what?

I played rugby, which is like American football, but for men.

Why don't you take your ass back there, and enjoy the Queen's Jubilee?

Well, why don't you come with me, princess?

Although at customs, they might make you piss in a cup.

Guys, guys. No, no, no. Guys, no.

- Come on, man. - Stop, stop.

Dime a dozen, mate.

You're a dime a dozen. You are finished.

I hope you enjoyed pissing it away.

Pissing it a-- You know what?

That's the last chance this douche-crumpet gets.

Get somebody else. I'm not working with him.

That was your last chance. You're fired. You lost us the endorsement.

I lost us the endorsement?

So now you wanna jump on the TK hate train too?

I'm fired. I'm fired?

You're fired!

I'm out of here!

Oh, hey.

TK, it's--

Get the hell out my way!

- Man. - TK, TK. Wait, wait. You...

You did this, Donnally.

I'm coming for you.

Hey, hey!

You just--

The bugs in Dr. Santino's office.

Developed by the NSA.

The same one you gave me to bug Pittman.

Kind of sloppy, Tony. Don't you think?

I could break your neck right now.

I can't breathe. Come on, man.

Isn't it disappointing when friends let you down?

I'm gonna have to de-friend you on Facebook.

I can explain. Come on.

Who put you to this?

Pittman.

If anybody's listening,

I would just like to say,

suck it.

Oh, look how pretty.

Honey, what's wrong?

I broke the baby.

I'm a decapitating mother-monster.

Okay, I am not gonna lie to you.

That is super creepy.

I can't do this, Dan.

I'm not cut out to be a mom.

Jeanette.

Honey, please.

You are a great auntie, you are a great friend,

and you are going to be a great mother.

I just feel so alone.

Everyone in that class has a partner.

And you're afraid that you're gonna lose yours?

I mean, what if Gusto bails, and I have to do this alone?

Hey, Gusto loves you.

Gusto wants this baby.

It said 12 on the invitation. Who shows up unfashionably early?

I don't know. Maybe it's a surprise.

- Better be good. - Right?

Gusto.

Ted, I know that you are angry,

and want to move forward with ending the marriage.

I think understanding what happened here and why is important.

For closure.

Allison, you said that you still love Ted,

and you do not want to end the marriage.

- Yes. - You still feel that way?

Yes.

Do you understand why he thinks you sabotaged the relationship?

How do you feel about your relationship with Ted on the court?

Meaning?

Do you still enjoy playing with him?

I...

I used to.

And now?

Why didn't you say something?

I was afraid.

- Of? - Please don't make me do this.

What have you got to lose?

I could do better professionally with another partner.

I've been approached by several higher-ranked players.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I was afraid.

I was afraid of losing my life partner.

It's common when a partner wants out of a relationship

to cross boundaries, force the issue in some roundabout way,

like Gary Haas at the bar, okay?

That was Allison acting out.

Now, Allison,

Ted interpreted that as you needing space in the marriage,

so he proposed swinging.

But the relationship that you really want out of is on the court.

Right?

Allison,

you were always the better player.

My days out there are numbered, but you...

You still got greatness ahead of you.

I'm so sorry.

We're a week out from the regular-season opener.

Reportedly, Terrence King is fully recovered from the shooting.

How's he looked in the preseason?

Well, he's looked great in limited duty,

but there's a big difference between preseason and regular season,

so we won't know for sure until opening day.

TK's going to rehab.

We're staging an intervention, giving him an ultimatum.

We agreed not to rock the boat. Maroney was clear--

Maroney's history. TK fired him.

TK doesn't need an agent to start a criminal investigation.

When that happens, crap rolls downhill. I'm not taking the fall.

I'd rather lose my job than lose a player.

You were a trainer. You know what football does to these men's bodies.

Half the players in this league pop pills to get through the day.

- What you gonna do? Shut down the game? - They're excuses.

I'm done making them.

Again, Dani,

beautiful shower.

Thank you for taking care of my baby.

And my baby's baby.

So I guess this is--

Ix-nay on the G-word.

Because I am coming to Spain when the baby's born.

End of discush.

- I love you. Jinx. Buy me a Coke. - I love you. Jinx. Buy me a Coke.

I win.

Tapes.

Every conversation that's been recorded in this office.

Who did this? How did you get them?

Not important. What matters is that we have them.

- There could be copies. - These are the copies.

Who has the originals?

Marshall Pittman.

But Marshall Pittman's...

There's no telling what that man will do with those tapes.

Oh, my God. Would you please leave? I wanna be alone.

No.

Dani...

I've never let you down.

And I don't intend to start now.

I will get those tapes back.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You're not alone.

Hawks now days from their season opener,

things are looking up for Terrence King.

Our sources say, he's fit and ready to play.

He's had quite the miraculous recovery.

For the other teams in their division,

that's gotta be a bitter pill to swallow.
