Ryan Murphy’s American Sports Story drama looks at the troubling tale of an NFL player who became a killer and the many issues that surfaced
Belle Glade, Florida, 2013. Erotic dancers writhe in the dim red light of nightclub. Aaron Hernandez thinks he spots cops at the bar and exits. As they drive away, a friend reminds him: “I know all your secrets.” In a remote, rainy place, Hernandez pulls out a gun, shoots the friend and leaves him for dead.
Later, at an awards ceremony, Hernandez receives a call. “You should have made sure I was dead,” says the voice on the line. “I’m alive. I’m alive and I’m coming for your ass.”
