- Two important orders of business today.
Number one,
welcome home, Rome.
Our newest Viper,
Romello Copeland.
[applause]
- Romello, the team struggled
through the first half of the season.
How do you see your role going forward?
- Do I look like the kind of player that got a role?
[laughter]
You acting like you forgot who I am.
Next question. - Come on, Romello.
I mean there's no "I" in team. - Yeah, you right.
But in the words of the great Kobe Bryant,
there's a M-E in that shit.
Listen, I just came here
to lead the Vipers to a championship.
I done worked my ass off to become who I am
and I'll be damned if that's anything less than a winner.
Besides, I don't even know how to lose
to tell the truth.
That's why y'all love Romello
'cause say it with me.
I bring championships.
Congratulations, LA.
Y'all finally got yourself a real king.
Let's go Vipers! - Oh, this bitch.
[applause] - Bring that championship.
- I got you covered. - Right.
Thing number two.
I have waited for this day
since I bought this wonderful franchise.
I'd always hoped she followed me into the business,
but you can't choose your children's paths.
Fortunately, I didn't have to push.
And she turned out to be the sharpest executive
in our organization.
The new VP of business operations,
and my daughter,
Eden Lazlo.
[applause]
- Thanks, Dad.
Well, I have loved this team
ever since I was a little girl.
And although I have not perfected my slam dunk...
[chuckles]
It is truly an honor to be here today
in this new role.
[applause]
- Are there any concerns of nepotism in your hiring?
- Ah-- [whispering] I got it, Dad.
[normal voice] Yes.
Because as a woman of color,
earning a position of prominence,
people don't ask about my business degree from Brown,
my MBA from Harvard,
or the fact that I worked my way up
from junior marketing associate
back when the halftime entertainment
was better than the team. [crowd "Ooh"]
I'm sorry, Dad. - It's true.
- These simple-minded people
assume that it's solely because I'm Victor Lazlo's daughter.
So when comparing backgrounds,
it's not about how I got my job,
the real question is,
how the hell you got yours.
[crowd "Ooh," applause]
[knocking on door]
- [sighs]
- Good morning, Mr. King.
- It was.
- May I?
- You gon' keep doing this every damn day?
She gone.
- Don't know yet.
Vanessa King is a suspect in a hit-and-run murder.
Have you heard from her or had any recent contact with her?
- Again, no I haven't.
- I have to ask.
I mean, after all,
you did turn yourself in.
- Look, I'm not gonna keep doing this shit with you.
I don't know where she is.
I don't know where my daughter is.
You can go through my phone.
You go through my stuff or whatever.
But after that, do not bring your ass back here
unless you're bringing my baby to me.
- Time out with the attitude.
Thank you for your time.
Have a good day, Mr. King.
- Yeah, you too, Detective.
- You still haven't talked to Vanessa?
- No.
- When's the last time you heard from her?
- She called me the day she apparently left.
- Mm-hmm? - And I knew something
was wrong by the way she was talking.
Like she wanted to say more.
Like she wanted to say-- - Goodbye?
- Yeah.
But she couldn't.
How you just gon' bounce without saying shit
or at least checking up somehow?
hadn't heard from her either so if she ain't call her man,
what makes you think-- - She's my best friend.
- Yeah.
You want me to track her?
No one disappears without a trace.
Even private jets have manifests
and flight plans so I can definitely--
- You know what? - Find her.
- No. Leave it.
- You sure? - Yep.
- I--I can do it.
- If girl wants to be gone, she gone.
- [snoring]
- Get up, boy!
- Dad? How'd you get in here?
- The door was unlocked.
All you went through to get this house,
you sure got it looking like shit.
- I bought it for my wife and my daughter.
- So it's true.
- Depends on what you read.
- Vanessa's a murder suspect.
She's on the run with Deja. - About covers it.
- And you don't know where they are.
- No.
[somber ambient music]
- Get up.
- No, Dad--
- You think you got time to waste?
Get your ass up and clean up this damn house
and do what you gotta do.
- You being serious right now?
- Serious as hell.
I know your heart is broken,
but you need to rise up
and get your shit together.
Think laying around here drunk and sad
is gonna help you find Deja?
And it sure as hell not gon' get Vanessa back.

Is there something you'd like to share?
- Not exactly, no.
I wanted to ask you something about the case.
- Customarily,
we're the ones who ask the questions, Miss Lazlo.
- I understand.
Let me put it this way just so we're clear.
These past few months have been
pretty challenging for the team, as a brand.
- I can imagine.
- And we support our players 100%.
But we also wouldn't hesitate to
distance ourselves
from a player who was involved
in a criminal prosecution.
- Is that why you guys traded for Romello Copeland?
Backup, in case Marques King is implicated?
- We make whatever adjustment necessary
for the good of the team.
So it would be helpful for me
to know a little bit more about
where you guys are at with this thing.
- Miss Lazlo, I can't discuss any details
about an ongoing investigation with you.
- [chuckles] Fair enough.
But can you at least tell me
if he's a person of interest?
That's reasonable enough, right?
- Mr. King is not a person of interest
at this time.
- Great.
Let's hope it stays that way.
- That's not up to me. - [chuckles]
