- Jana, I-I don't know what to say.
I was shocked to hear that.
- Hillman, this is really embarrassing
and I know this is about Eddie.
What's most important to me
is that Garrett not find out.
- No shit.
I'm sure he would kick Eddie's ass
for making up a lie like this.
Can you believe the balls on this prick?
That son of a bitch
actually has ray Stevens believing that he's the victim
- um...
What did--what did ray say, exactly?
- Eddie told ray that you fired him
because he didn't want to continue
being in a sexual relationship with you.
- Um--
sorry, do you mind if i-- - no, no, go ahead.
Look, i--
I know that this is upsetting, jana.
That's why I reached out to you.
I-I thought you should know.
I have no idea who else Eddie's lied to.
But listen,
ray Stevens is not gonna tell anybody.
I just wish that--
well, that I could've set him straight.
We promised to protect Shannon Crawford.
- Yeah. Yeah, I get it.
- You know, I partly feel like I'm to blame.
Did you want to order something?
- No, I'm good. Thanks.
- Maybe just another water. - Mm-hmm.
- Um, you said--
wait, what-- what was your fault?
- Well, I'm the one who sent the tattoo photos to ray
to try and dissuade him from hiring Eddie.
- Okay, so that's what you meant
when you said you tried to stop it.
- I wanted him to know what kind of guy
that he was considering.
I had no idea
Eddie would fabricate such a shitty lie.
Wait, you said that
you knew that this was about Eddie?
Who--who told you? - Oh, it doesn't really matter.
Um...
Thank you for having my back, hillman.
Um, I should go.
- I'm sorry, jana.
- Thank you.
Who else did you tell? - No one.
And I didn't want to tell ray either,
but you didn't give me much choice.
Sending those tattoo photos--
- that wasn't me. Hillman exposed you.
He was trying to protect ray and his players.
The point is, you lied about what happened.
- Did I? - Yeah.
- I mean,
you were in a position of authority.
You were my boss, I was your subordinate,
and we slept with each other.
If I had ended it, what then?
- I didn't force you to do anything.
- Two consenting adults, right?
Feels a little different when you're the one
being accused of sexual misconduct, huh?
- You're pathetic. - You fired me.
You went out of your way to Sully my reputation.

- Oh, I did have a bit of an uphill climb
when I first got to Colton state.
But since then, our athletic department has soared.
- You have accomplished a hell of a lot
in seven years, hillman.
- With very few compliance or csc violations.
- Yeah, it's impressive.
- I brought in talented coaches.
I helped recruit Sean Taylor, a top 10 NBA draft pick.
Jc Abernathy was my discovery and hire.
And now, we are the reigning champions.
And I think we've got a repeat in the works.
- Oh, careful. Don't want to jinx it.
- [Chuckles] No, no, no.
You can only jinx luck, not talent.
We're a mid-major, but with a powerhouse attitude.
And because of it, fundraising is a walk in the park.
We're already 50% beyond our target
for our capital campaign.
Forgive me if i-- if I brag a little bit,
but I am the best kept secret in college athletics.
- All right, all right.
However, there are a few blemishes,
if I may.
Your football team hasn't seen a bowl game in a few years.
Your basketball program
doesn't even appeal to three star recruits.
Shannon Crawford transferred.
Jc fired her associate head coach.
- [Chuckles] Come on, George.
All that's typical of any athletic program.
Our football team is on the comeback.
And basketball make stars of walk-ons.
Jc won a national championship.
Frankly, she can fire or hire whoever she chooses.
- Pinehurst is not Colton state.
Boosters are tougher.
Lights are brighter.
Stakes are higher.
Are you up for it?
- I am your new athletic director, George.
- You just might just be.
[Sighs]
I know this has been one hell of an interview process.
- [Chuckles] Whew!
We're gonna narrow down our list to our top five ad's
in the next couple days, okay?
- Oh, and hey,
you know, thanks again for--
for keeping this under wraps. - Oh, yeah, of course.
Actually, this allows me time to give our current ad
a proper retirement sendoff. - Yeah, lucky guy.
- It could be you. I'll see you.
- Shannon Crawford has hired Marie Langston,
a high profile lawyer.
Wait, did you know?
- I saw Shannon at the hospital.
- [Chuckles] Are you kidding me?
And you--you thought this was a good idea
to keep this to yourself?
- Well, she didn't exactly tell me.
But Amanda mosley has been yapping in her ear.
- Amanda mosley--[Sighs]
- She claims that she's hiring a lawyer as well.
Hillman, did you suggest that Shannon transfer?
- What does it matter?
- Well, she says she felt pressured.
- [Scoffs] I told her that it was an option
under the circumstances.
I also told her that we wanted her to stay,
that she's our star player.
- Well, the two of them could actually have a case.
My email regarding Amanda's complaint
was permanently deleted from the university's servers.
And so was yours.
- What? - Hillman, there's no record
that we followed proper protocol.
I mean, without that email--
- Amanda mosely doesn't have a leg to stand on.
And Shannon Crawford signed a nondisclosure agreement.
So we don't have to worry about that.
- Ndas get broken all the time.
- I thought this was over with.
I didn't--i didn't try to pressure her.
I-I was trying to help her.
I mean, maybe I went a little overboard
describing what her life would be like
if she remained on campus,
but I was just trying to be honest.
Unless she took my concern for pressure.
But that wasn't my intent.
- Her basketball career is over and Eddie hagen
has moved on to a new job. [Phone dings]
I guess we should've expected this.
- Huh. You ready for some more drama?
- What now? - Shannon Crawford
is doing an interview with spectrum sports.
- She--she said she wanted to keep this quiet.
- Well, obviously she changed her mind.
It's on Sunday.
We have two days to fix this.
- No.
- What--what do you mean, no?
- Enough is enough.
We were trying to protect her. We were wrong.
Staying silent has been our biggest mistake.
And Shannon has a right to tell her story
and we need to be there for her.
- Jana, maybe you think that coming to Shannon's rescue
for her injury on the basketball court
exempts you from blame,
but this will come back to you. To all of US.
If you would've just listened to me from the beginning.
I told you not to talk to anybody.
And you fired Eddie hagen.
You couldn't see beyond the goddamn moment
or your own pride. Now look where we are.
- Hold it. You're blaming me?
- If you would have just let me do my job.
I make things go away. That's what I do.

- Oh, good for Eric's parents.
- I'm just saying there's a way
to make this easier for everybody.
- What? And miss out on all of this quality time together?
No chance.
- Why do adults always want to be so stressed?
- I guess it kinda comes with the territory.
You give it a few years.
You got work,
and then children, and bills.
You'll see.
- Is that why you and dad are fighting?
- Who says that we're fighting?
- I saw his pillow on the couch

- Well, you can call Michelle your mom.
- Nah, you're my mom. She just gave birth to me.
- Yeah, but that's no small thing.
- Yeah, well real moms don't leave.
And you're changing the subject.
- All right, yeah, we were arguing.
But there's nothing to worry about.
- Shannon's lawyer will try and force our hand.
We're gonna have to pay her off.
- No.
- If this gets out,
everything that we have accomplished at Colton state
will be gone. And Eddie? Eddie will be destroyed.
This will affect all of US.
- US, hillman?
I don't blame my investors
when we have poor share growth.
Managing jc Abernathy was your job.
If you had done what you had promised,
we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Instead, now you are asking me to pay off the woman
that nearly cost my son his reputation
and nearly ruined my name.
No, I'll gladly see Shannon Crawford in court.
- Conroy, you are being unreasonable.
This will only get worse.

We'll definitely want a comment from you for a press release.

Be prepared for what Shannon might have to say.

Also, if you can answer some questions
about how you came to her rescue after her injury.

- Hillman called. He's running late.
Are you all right?
- Yeah, uh, excuse me.
Shannon's interview,
it may blow up and reveal more than hillman may have told you.
A former player's sexual misconduct
complaint about Eddie
was deleted from my computer.
And there's no record of it on hillman's computer either.
- He did mention it but said he never received it.
- No, I sent it.
Someone made sure it would appear as if it never existed.
- Do you think it was hillman?
- I-I don't know. I just have so many questions.
I mean...
Did you know that hillman is the one
that suggested that Shannon transfer?
And then he--he got so angry
when he learned about the lawyers and the interview.
- Well, for good reason.
It's unsettling.
There's a lot at risk.
Hillman built a state-of- the-art sports facility,
manages our athletic programs,
fundraising, and countless other issues.
He's always had the university's
best interests at heart.
He takes this personally, jana.
- Excuse me, president barrington?
She's on. - Before we get into this,
I want to say I have a lot of fond memories
at Colton state.
It's where I won the national championship.
I was the first team all-American,
conference champion, mvp,
and a team captain.
Bonded with my amazing teammates.
- Wow. Did she say we bonded?
- I'm just shocked by "amazing teammates."
- I thought I would play there till I graduated.
- So what prompted the transfer to Van buren?
- Um--
[clears throat]
Things became...
Challenging.
Not in ways that I expected.
Colton state became difficult
in so many ways after we started winning.
And my relationship with the coaches...
Shifted.
Coach Abernathy was focused on winning.
And coach hagen...
Was, um...
Well, he--
I considered him a friend
and it complicated things.
- It sounds to me like you knew
he was gonna get fired so you transferred.
- No.
No, that's not the reason.
When I transferred--
sorry, it's, uh--
it's kinda hard to confess.
- Tequila, one rock.
- Really? - Yeah.
- When I transferred, it was--
it was because...
- It's all right. Take your time.
- I was a victim.
O-Of--
of boredom.
I wasn't excited to play at Colton state anymore.
And I wanted a challenge.
So I want to thank all my teammates
and everyone else at csu
for understanding.
- No disrespect, but why pick Van buren?
You were on a championship team
that had a good chance to repeat.
Boredom can't be the only reason
that someone leaves a really good program
and goes to one that is struggling.
- The honest truth?
I wanted to win two national championships
at two different schools.
I wanted to be the first female basketball player
to do that and I thought that
Van buren would be that place.
What can I say?
I'm an optimist.
What are you doing here?
- Moving forward with legal action
is not a path you want to take, Shannon.
- I want you to leave.
- It's time you took care of yourself.
Going public is not the answer.
A civil suit is not the answer.
You have no idea what you're going to face.
- Please leave.
- When you were with Eddie,
did you orgasm?
- What?
- Were you on top or was Eddie?
- Get out of here.
- How long did it last?
Were you drinking at the time?
- What are you doing? - Did you say Eddie's name?
You wanted it as much as he did.
You enjoyed it didn't you? - Stop!
- Is everything okay? - [Whispers] Stop.
- We're fine, thank you.
Somebody needs to be honest with you.
If you are going to move forward and tell your story,
the jurors, the public, your friends,
everybody will know what you did,
every salacious detail.
- Get out of here.
- Right now, you're Shannon Crawford,
former and forever
Colton state university standout.
You'll stay in our record books.
You'll make hall of fame.
Or...
You'll be the girl who slept with her coach.
And people will ask, "was she really good?"
After losing your career,
your future as a professional player,
how much more are you willing to risk?
Are you willing to relive your story?
All of this can be over.
If you just take this now,
this will all be done.
You should've been a star in the wnba.
You deserve nothing less.
- Get out of here.
- I'll leave that.
- My injury was career-ending.
So I don't know what's next.
But who knows?
Maybe I'll get into coaching.
- Well, college basketball would surely
benefit from your talent.
Shannon Crawford, thank you so much
for sitting down with US. We really appreciate--
- no need for a formal press release.
Maybe simply a statement saying
we wish Shannon the best.
- Absolutely. Thank you, Paul.
I know it's wrong to feel relief, but wow.
We may still have to face a legal fight
but perhaps not a public one.
- Something's changed.
I mean, Shannon had
every opportunity to tell the truth.
I mean, the reporter pressed her for more.
- Maybe her lawyer advised against it.
Shannon's never wanted to share the truth.
She's been adamant about it since the beginning.
- Hillman told me that
he makes things go away, that he handles things.
- Suspicion is dangerous, jana.
And accusations even more so.
[Phone vibrates]
Oh, excuse me. Hello?
[Phone rings]
Yes.
- Hello? - Hey, coach Abernathy.
Great game yesterday. - Uh, who is this?
- Oh, it's Hugo. From it?
- Oh, right. Yes.
- It took me a while but I got an answer for you.
The server deletion authorization?
Yeah, it came from high up.
Yeah, the office of the university president.
- I think we could find a time. I will take care of it.
- Hugo, are you absolutely sure?
- Yep. Says so right here.
"Authorized by president Melinda barrington."
- All right, um, thanks, Hugo.
