Come on, Mami! Come on! Oh, a bridge that someone's fighting over A bridge that someone's fighting over A bridge so old so let it go Where's the bridge that's gonna take me home? A bridge that someone's fighting over A bridge that someone's praying over A bridge so old so let it go Wait. Ready? Ready? Ready? Trust me? Do you trust me, baby? Do you trust me? Do you trust me? Put your fucking... Put your hands on the wheel. - Give me a kiss. - Put your... The bridge that someone's fighting over A bridge that someone's fighting for A bridge so old so let it go All right. No lazy steps. Let's go ahead and run it off. I want constant fluid movement today. - Is that understood? - Yes, coach! And you better come into every single match with a plan, because you better believe if you don't have a plan, your rival does. All right! Go ahead and pair up. Find your battle buddies right now. I need you to leave everything on the mat and keep it in the circle. Remember, you are future holders of the great machine. Let's go! Every time you walk out this door, you look at that sign, Carpe Diem. Seize the day. There are no second chances. There are no second acts. There is no goddamn motherfucking second place. You better come in to every single match with a plan. Because if you don't have a plan, I can tell you right now, your rival has a plan, and it will manifest itself in your defeat. And you will lose. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. And up! Over your heads. Over your head. Hold it! ...five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six seven, eight. One, two... ...cannot be taken down, I am a new machine. I cannot be taken down, I am a new machine. I cannot be taken down, I am a new machine. I cannot be taken down, I am a new machine. I beat you home? That's a first. Yeah. Today was a long one. - Long, but good? - Yeah. Mmm. I know exactly how you feel, babe. - You want some food? - Yeah. I want what they're having. - It's high protein. - Yeah. - How was school? - It was good. You do realize there are more words in the English language you can use to speak with your father, yeah? - School was good. - Uh-huh. But practice went over and I have a history test tomorrow, - so I need to start homework. - Okay. - All right. - There you go. I still need you down here by 9:00. - I know. - All right. Come on. Okay now I'm gonna - let my hands down. - No. - Come on. - No, I don't trust myself. I don't trust myself. I don't trust myself. Goddess is about to arrive. Don't play like you don't want me right now. You're obsessed with me. Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up All right, one of y'all put a song on. Like it was cool, but... Hey, wake up. - Let's go! - Yeah, I'm up. - Downstairs in five. - All right. - You ready? - Yeah. Go. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not rude. It doesn't boast. Love also forgets wrong. If we spent more time loving one another, hate would cease. So you have a choice. Love works better. Love is better for us. It makes the world better, but we have to be in action. How much... How do you want to love? How can I love? Well, you know what, it could be just by a smile. - A smile on your face could... - A smile. Amen. - ...change somebody's day. - Yes. Amen. Now you choose whether you use the love correctly. So I want to remind you that love is a four-letter word, and so is hate. We're in a world full of hate right now. Everybody's pointing a finger at somebody else. And you're no good. And you're no good. And we're no good. And they're no good. Ain't nobody good right now. So we need love to bring people back. There used to be an old thing when I was growing up that says it takes a village to raise a child. It's gonna take that same village to bring us back to love as a country. What a difference a day made Twenty-four little hours You get in late last night? Not really. Not really, huh? You're just falling asleep - in church for no reason? - No, I mean... Were you bored with that service today? No, I mean, it's just... How's your shoulder, Ty? Still sore? - On and off. - I'm gonna call Steve. Just get an appointment to make sure. - No, it's fine. - He's fine. - You're one to talk. - I got my eye on it. You had your eye on your knee, too. Look where that got you. I'm sure he's fine, but we have a whole season ahead. And I'm sorry again I'm gonna miss this one, but your dad will be there, and Em will be there, - and I'll be at the next one. - No, I can't be there either. What? I told you. Practice got moved. It's your brother's first meet. I have to study. Everybody else can't meet that late. And Bethany's mom says that we can't... Oh, that's what this is about. Your friends at Bethany's house. Mom, he doesn't even care if I'm there! - Very true. - Do you care if I'm there? No, I don't care if you're there. You do care. And you should care. - He doesn't. - Okay. All right. There's nothing to worry about here. And you know why? Because the wise and noble father is gonna be there to hold it down. Really? Where is he? Where is he? If you see him, will you send him my way, please? Shame on you. If you see him, send him my way too. - We can go right now. - We can go? - Oh, we can go right now. - That's what's up? You think you can take your old man? Hold on. You think you can mess with this? - You guys. - What's up? - Can we not? - What's up? It's that shoulder, right? Come on. What's up? - Did you start? - Did I start? I'm just making sure you started. - No. - Did you? - Dad started. - Get out my ear. You let me know when you're ready. Yeah, can you not hit your sister? - You all right? - I'm fine, man. You let me know when you're ready. You okay? You let me know. You let me know. Can we not scare the people, please? Shh. Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. Come on! One more. - Let's go. - One, one more. - One more? - One more. I see you. I see you. Come on. What you... What you got? What you got? Get in there. - You good, brah? - I'm good. Flex too hard? You flex too hard? You got me. You got me. This hurts. But it all starts with a piece of dirt, and it turns into something magnificent. Something that makes a contribution to your community. It's a beautiful thing. You gotta take pride in what you do, son. Never forget that. Check this out. Show you this master bedroom. If you could be so lucky one day to have a bedroom like this bedroom, then you'd be doing all right. You'd be doing all right. Check it out. You know spaghetti is Alexis' favorite dish, right? You should have seen the first time that she had it. We got it on video, okay? We got to find it. I got to find it for you. - Dad! - It's hilarious. She ate it with her hands, and it got everywhere. I'm talking chunks of meat and red sauce, just all over the place like a wild animal. - Dad, shut up! - So cute! So cute. It was adorable. It was the most lovely thing. Oh, my God. It's beautiful. It was beautiful. Plus, you were so cute. What? Now in the eye of your mind, in your mind's eye, I want you to fixate on your source code, on your soul's source of pure unadulterated inspiration. Something that is inspiring to you and you alone. I want you to look at it. I want you to take it in. I want it to be your guiding light right now, all right? And then I want you to repeat after me... I will not let you down. Repeat. I will not let you down. You will not let me down. Repeat. You will not let me down. My folks won't let me down. My folks won't let me down. My coach won't let me down. My coach won't let me down. I cannot be taken down. I am a new machine. Say it! I cannot be taken down. I am a new machine. One more time! I cannot be taken down. I am a new machine. One more time with me! I cannot be taken down. I am a new machine. One more time! I cannot be taken down. I am a new machine. All right, Mavericks on three. One, two, three. - Mavericks! - Mavericks! Mavericks! Mavericks! Mavericks! Mavericks! One, two, three! - You see it? - Yep. You see it? You feel the difference? Yeah, I feel the difference all right. - Can you get up? - All right. Yeah. All right. If you did it the way I taught you, you would have had him 20 seconds earlier, all right? Get up. The kid was a chump, man. You may have been able to pin him quick because you're faster and you're stronger, but your technique... Getting to State is about technique. - You feel me? You good? - Yeah. I'm good. Your shoulder's good? It's not hurting? - No. - You sure? - I'm sure. - All right. Come on. Let me see that fireman one more time. Come on. Come on. Clams Casino, nigga ASAP - Emily! - What? - Em! - What? Emily! - Hurry up, man. - Shut up. Michael J. Fox looking nigga. Come on, brah. - Close my door. - Close your own door. - Yo, yo, yo. - And there... Hello. - How was your day? - It was fine. Could've been better, but it's cool... I got a suit fitted. - For the Maverick Ball? - Yep. You're gonna look good. Oh, your sister's going. - What group is she going with? - You think I would know? She just better not be going with my ass, all right? - You are your sister's keeper. - Since when? It's not like it's your prom. Is Alexis excited? Yeah, I hope so. She's had her dress for long enough. - How was your day? - Exhausting. Oh, that divorce is happening. I have some notes for you to do. I keep telling her if she'd spread her schedule out and worked Fridays, she wouldn't be so exhausted. My patients have me until Thursday. Come Friday I want to be with my babies. Kiss? There's my girl. Good day? Yeah. Not bad. - You done with your homework? - Not yet. What you waiting for? I just came down to say hi to Mom. It's a two-second break. - Oh. - How's your knee? The usual. - Go make your bath. - Yes, ma'am. Hey, you didn't take any of my pain pills, did you? - No. Why? - It's all good. SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior. This top area here is where the biceps tendon attaches to the labrum. That's why you are also feeling pain running up your arm. Now, in your case, if you don't remember a specific event, then you could have aggravated your shoulder and then over time, with repetition, made it worse and worse. Since it's the labrum, it's not just overhead activities. Any strenuous activity on the biceps tendon will enhance it, as well. Okay, um... I'm sorry. So, like, what... What does that mean? Well, you've done extreme damage. You have a level five out of five SLAP tear. I've never actually seen this level tear in person. Well, I mean, it's not that bad. I could easily push through it. I'm afraid you need surgery or you're running the risk of permanent, irreversible, damage. But I'm... But I'm in season right now, so... I understand. But Tyler, this is very serious. I highly recommend you stop all physical activity immediately and we get you surgery as soon as possible. Wait, what if... What if we did it, um... What if we did it at the end of season and I could, you know, I could recover over the summer? And I could be ready for next year for college? I can't see you making another match, let alone an entire season. Then, to be honest, recovery would take much longer than just the summer. You're likely never to fully recover to the way you were, but the sooner we address this, the better. You're young and you'll heal very well. It's going to take time. I can call your mom if you... No, you don't have to do that. I'll... I'll talk to her. I'm very sorry, Tyler. That's one bottle of vodka. There you go. - You got it, bud? - Yeah. Ty, there's water coming through my door! Ty, there's water everywhere. What are you doing? Tyler? Geez. Every practice. Don't be a pussy. Let him up! What's the matter, Ty? Let's do this. I'm right here with you. Come on. Go. Come on. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Come on. Seven. Eight. Two more. One more, baby. How you doing? - You done now? - Yeah, I'm good. - That's it? - I'm done. ...broke down in tears today, and Linda continues to refuse any type of communication. - How's it coming? - Good. - How many more you got? - Halfway. What's this format? Why's the date over there? It's the format she told me to do. Can you just let me do my thing? I don't pay you to do your thing. I pay you to do my thing. - Technically she pays me. - You know, there you go again. - What's that attitude about? - What do you mean? You know exactly what I mean. Hey, stop! Turn it off and look at me. Look around here for a sec. Who do you think keeps all this running, hmm? Now, your mother may be great with the patients, but she don't know nothing about running a business. You think if I quit my job and stopped running your mother's business, that you'd have a place to even lay that big head of yours? Huh? - No. - Then what's up? I mean, I just have a lot going on right now. Do you really? What, you think me and your mom don't got a lot going on? Wait until you get out on your own in the world and have real responsibilities. You got to be able to balance it, Ty. Now, we talked about this, brah. If you can't keep it going, you can forget about hanging out with your friends or running around with that little girl of yours. You... Quit shaking your head at me, boy. This is my house. If you don't like the way I run things, then you can be up out. I told you you didn't have to work for me and you didn't have to train with me. You asked for that. That was your choice, right? And I'm not the one who chose wrestling, but if you're gonna do something, you might as well do it right. I said it before, I'll say it again. The world don't give a shit about you or me. We are not afforded the luxury of being average. Got to work 10 times as hard just to get anywhere. It's... Ty, I don't push you because I want to. I push you because I have to. Do you hear what I'm saying, son? - Do you hear what I'm saying? - Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good. Man, I look at y'all sometimes and think of all the opportunities you have that I didn't. Wishing Nana and Three Papa had done for me. You don't know how good you got it. Pin! Pin! Get him, Ty! Pin him down! Pin him down! - Yes! Go, Tyler! - Come on, Ty! Let's go! Let's go! - Single leg. Single leg. - Yeah! Get his shoulder down, Ty! Get his shoulder down. Come on. Come on, Tyler! Can't let him work like that, Ty! Come on! Come on, babe! Get up! Get up! Match. Dragon win. Get up! It's all right, Tyler! Good job! It's okay! It's all right, babe! It's all right! Let's go, Williams! - Let's go! - You can do better. You can do better. Let's do this, Tyler! Come on now, Tyler! Come on now, Tyler! Come on, Ty! Come on, you got this! Get up, Tyler! Get up, babe! Roll out! Spring out! Spring out! It's okay. It's okay. Calm down. It's all right. It's all right. He did this to himself through sheer stupidity! Watch your voice. Steve should've told us. So much for a scholarship. I don't know what the hell he was thinking. Steve said he didn't call because Tyler wanted to tell us personally. So he's been lying to us this whole time? It's his attitude, I'm telling you. The boy... Gonna be somebody, oh I follow - Oh and it's so cloudy - Running showers and the mist so fly I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. I feel the same way. - I missed you. - I missed you, too. Your callouses are getting better, at least. Yeah, that's because I haven't been lifting. Oh, right. Shit. Sorry. I'm not really in the mood right now. Why not? I mean, it's... Baby, it's been forever. I mean... I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, but I'm just getting really scared. About what? What's going on? Are you okay? I still haven't gotten my period. What? It's been like two, three weeks. I don't know. I'm just... I have nobody to talk to about it and I'm just getting really scared. Don't be... Don't be scared. First of all, you can always talk to me. All right? Look, you can always talk to me. We're in this together. I don't want you to ever feel like you should be scared or anything like that. Look at me. Babe, look at me. Everything's going to be okay, all right? All right? Yeah. Come here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I be up to my feet I'll wake up feeling weak Wake me up in a week - I love you. - I love you too. I love you so much. I think this is it. Yeah? - Fucking assholes. - Just don't look at them. Why do they have to do that? Do what? You want me to drop you off here? - Drop me off? - I mean, where do you... What else do you want me to do? Are you kidding? Just find... Get parking. Just park. - Right here cool? - Yeah, it's fine. You know you're going to go to hell! - Don't be a murderer! - Thou shalt not kill! All right, let me have everybody's attention. All right. Look, these people out here are crazy, man. And these women, they carry guns on them. I seen it. All right, I also seen them try to convince a young woman not to go through the procedure, because they promised her to adopt her child. And guess what? They didn't. Didn't help her out at all. And guess what? She's stuck. They tell people the worst things every single day and I got to take it. But listen, I'm here for y'all, all right? But all I ask in return is that you're here for me as well. So please, do not go out here and mess with these crazy women. Okay? All right. - Thanks. - Thank you. Can we go? Just...

Have you ever been? - Do you know the springs? - Um, no. We should go. Do you want... Would you be down to go? Yeah, but how would we do that? We'd just take my car. It's summer. We can just take my car. Whatever. When I was little, I wanted to be a vet. That was one of the things I wanted to be, which I still really care about. Would you then want to, like, work at a zoo or something? Well, if... Yeah. I mean... I like emergency, um, vet clinics. - Like that always... - Right. ...excited me just because I felt like if I can help this animal in its... In its moment of intense need... - Do you sing? - No. I mean, I do sing but I'm not a good singer for sure. It hurts my heart. - That you can't sing? - No, totally. Everybody can sing in the shower though. Not me. I sing Vampire Weekend in the shower, shit don't sound right. How great is our God Sing with me How great is our God And all will see How great...

What about your dad? - My dad? - Mmm-hmm. Um... He's not the best dude. Do you want to talk about it? Um, sure, yeah. Uh... Well, when I was a kid, he was just drunk and on drugs a lot and, um... Just did some pretty terrible stuff to me and my mom. I mean, especially my mom. And I couldn't do anything about it, because I was just a kid. But, yeah, eventually my mom cut us off. And you haven't talked to him at all since? No. No, he actually has cancer. - Really? - Yeah, he has cancer. - I'm sorry. - No, it's all right. He's a piece of shit. He deserves it. So...

I was there that night and... I saw him following her. And I... I had that sick feeling in my stomach. Um... I don't know what happened. I kind of just froze. Baby. It's just so crazy, 'cause if I just would've gotten up... - You know? - No. No. If I just would've gotten up, then... I would've went up to him and stopped him, - and she would still be here. - Wait. Listen to me. - This is not your fault. - So I just... Yeah, it is. - No, it's not. - It is. - Because I was there. - No, and you can't blame yourself for it. - I could've done something... - You understand me? - ...and I just didn't. - You didn't do this. Your brother did it. It's not... I chose not to do anything. Sweetheart, you didn't do it. This is not... And I don't know why I did that. This is not your fault. It is. It's not your fault. Emily, hey. And I hate him so much. - I hate him so much! - I know. What he did is evil, Dad! He's evil. - He's a... He's a monster! - I understand that... He's a monster for doing that to her! I don't... I understand that you're angry. - How does somebody do that? - You have every right to be. Do you hear me? But your brother? He's not a monster. He's not evil. He's just a human being. I know the pain that you're feeling right now. Believe me, I know it. I think about your brother every day and the things that I could've done differently. But we can't change it, you know? All we have is now. All we have is now. And I'm telling you this because I love you. Holding on to that much hate will destroy a person, and I'm not about to let that happen to you. You have so much love to share with the world. And so much life yet to live. Hey, you remember Papa's favorite scriptures? It said, "Hatred stirs up strife, "but love, love covers all offenses." And I love you so much, baby girl. Come here. It's okay. - I love you too. - I know you do. I know. What are you thinking about? Uh, the hospital where my dad's at called today. Really? What did they say? They don't think he has much longer. Oh, um... Do they know how long? Um... I don't know. Like, not long at all. They said he doesn't have more than a week. Um, what are you going to do? What do you mean? - Well, you have to see him. - Why? Because he's your dad. Okay, I don't want to see him. And besides, my car's in the shop and he's in Missouri. Well, we can take my car. You have to see your dad. You will seriously regret it if you don't. Okay, it says it's gonna take two days to get there, but we can leave tomorrow. We could... We could stop and we could break it up along the way. Do you think you could make up an excuse for your mom? - Are you serious? - Yes. - Can you make up an excuse? - Yeah, yeah. I guess I could make up an excuse. Do you think... Could you? I think we should do it. This is not my life It's just a fond farewell to a friend Unreal! It's just a fond farewell to a friend This is not my life It's just a fond farewell to a friend It's not what I'm like It's just a fond farewell Yeah! Whoo! Speaking of Nirvana It was there Rare as the feathers on my dash From a phoenix There with my crooked teeth and companions sleeping, yeah Dreaming a thought that could Dream about a thought That could think of the dreamer that thought That could think of dreaming and getting a glimmer of God I be dreaming a dream in a thought That could dream about a thought That could think of dreaming a dream Where I cannot Where I cannot Hey, I think this is it. This is the slowest fucking elevator. Yeah. Hey, Dad. Hi. I missed you. This is my girlfriend, Emily. Hi. It's nice to meet you. Beautiful. Thank you. Well, he's fighting. Everyone is different. Sometimes it's rapid, sometimes it takes time. He might be holding on more because you're here now. However, this is taking longer than usual and longer than we had anticipated. Obviously, he's not ready to go yet. And the best thing that you can do is to help him feel peace and comfort when he's lucid. So if there's anything that you need, please let us know. And I'll be back tomorrow to check in. Thank you very much, Doctor. Thank you very much, Doctor. I appreciate it. Babe. Baby, baby, wake up. - Wake up. - What's up? It's your dad. Your dad.
