PREVIOUSLY ON "ALL AMERICAN"...
Y'ALL CALLED UP CAMERON WILSON TO REPLACE ME, HUH?
HEY, AT LEAST THE BROTHER'S WILLING TO ROCK A SOUTH CRENSHAW JERSEY.
OH, SO, NOW YOU'RE GONNA GUARD ME, HUH?
WHY NOT? I ALREADY TOOK YOUR SPOT.
YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA BE ME.
YOU THINK I HAVE A CHANCE TO BE GREAT?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
WILLIE: THERE YOU GO. KEEP IT GOING.
AGAIN.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME UP WITH A WHOLE NEW PLAYBOOK
SINCE SOMEONE GAVE MALIBU OURS.
AS SOON AS I TELL MY DAD WHAT YOU DID, YOU'RE OFF THIS TEAM.
YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?
PROBABLY BEST YOU GO STAY WITH YOUR MOTHER FOR A WHILE.
NO USE YOU BEING HERE IF YOU'RE OFF THE TEAM.
MAN: ♪ FIRST THINGS FIRST, Y'ALL KNOW WHO I BE ♪
♪ CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM, SO ALL SALUTE ME ♪
♪ MANY OTHERS TRIED, BUT THAT AIN'T REAL ♪
♪ PUT THE RACK ON ME, I'MMA SCORE AT WILL ♪

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

BILLY: YOU READY FOR THE COMBINE?
MAN: MY MAN. BILLY: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
MAN: GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO. BILLY: YOU BEEN WELL?
MAN: YEAH, YEAH.
JORDAN, SPENCER. COME HERE, BOYS. COME HERE RIGHT QUICK.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE--DAMON KING.
WE GO WAY BACK,
BACK TO WHEN I USED TO BEAT HIS ASS IN THE NFL.
DAMON: OH!
OH, YOUR MEMORY ALWAYS BEEN THAT BAD?
[LAUGHS]
IT'S COACH KING NOW, FELLAS.
WIDEOUTS, ANGELES SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY.
JORDAN BAKER. NICE TO MEET YOU, SIR.
JORDAN. THAT'S RIGHT.
MAN, THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU,
I'M PRETTY SURE YOU WAS IN DIAPERS.
YOUR DAD SAID YOU GOT A ROCKET FOR AN ARM, HUH?
EXCITED TO SHOW IT OFF, SIR.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY FOR THE WOLVES.
HMM.
BILLY: AND THIS RIGHT HERE, SPENCER JAMES.
YES, SIR. OH, YEAH.
WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
BEVERLY'S FINEST. MAN.
CRENSHAW'S OWN, ACTUALLY.
WELL, YOU LUCKY YOU MOVED TO BEVERLY.
OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED
THE FIRST TWO COMBINES, YOUNG MAN.
DON'T SLEEP ON CRENSHAW.
WE MAY NOT HAVE THESE FANCY FACILITIES,
BUT A LOT OF DUDES THERE CAN PLAY.
OK. I WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND.
SO, YOU EVER CONSIDERED
ANGELES SOUTHERN FOR COLLEGE BALL?
Y'ALL GOT ONE OF THE BEST FOOTBALL PROGRAMS IN L.A.
AND IT'S CLOSE TO HOME.
AND I SEND AT LEAST TWO GUYS
TO THE LEAGUE EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
BILLY: OK, EASY, EASY.
THE COMBINE HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET.
YOU'RE ALREADY IN THE PICTURE.
YOU KNOW THE GAME.
ALL RIGHT. SPENCER'S GONNA WAIT
FOR THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS TO PLAY OUT
BEFORE HE MAKES ANY COMMITMENTS.
LISTEN, DON'T WAIT TOO LONG.
I ONLY GOT A COUPLE OF GUYS
GRADUATING AT RECEIVER.
SO, YOU TALKING, LIKE,
WHAT, A COUPLE SCHOLARSHIPS?
NAH. TALKING ONE.
SPENCER: OH, WOW. HEH.
RIGHT. WELL, I APPRECIATE THE LOVE,
BUT, LIKE COACH SAID, I'M KEEPING MY OPTIONS OPEN.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
MAN: ♪ FEELING LIKE I WANT A GOOD TIME ♪
♪ I JUST WANT TO BE YOURS ♪
♪ 'CAUSE I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME ♪
♪ AND NOW IT'S RUNNIN' ME OVER, UHH... ♪
DILLON: I'M THINKING I SHOULD BE YOUR AGENT.
YOU KNOW, SINCE YOU'RE ABOUT TO BLOW UP.
WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I DON'T KNOW. JUST THESE?
SOMEBODY'S GOTTA HELP YOU FIELD
ALL THESE COLLEGE RECRUITERS
AND HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
AND WE BOTH KNOW THAT
I'M THE BRAINS IN THE FAMILY, SO...
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
WAIT. SINCE WHEN DID MOM
WANT TO PLAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL?
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
OH. GRANDPA.
ARE YOUR PARENTS HOME?
MY DAD'S ALREADY AT THE FIELD
SETTING UP THE COMBINE AND MOM'S GOT A CONFERENCE.
GOOD. GOOD.
UH...WHAT--WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
YOU STOPPED COMING BY TO SEE ME.
FIGURED I'D COME SEE WHY.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST BEEN BUSY
TRAINING FOR THE PLAYOFFS AND THE COMBINE.
[CHUCKLES] YOU CALL
WHAT YOUR DADDY DOES TRAINING?
[CHUCKLES]
THOUGHT YOU WANTED MY HELP.
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, AND I'M GOOD,
AT LEAST ON THE TRAINING.
BUT I'M STILL DOWN TO HANG OUT,
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TRY TO USE ME
AS AN ATM AGAIN.
HMM. HEH! YOU KNOW WHAT?
HOW ABOUT BREAKFAST ON ME? HMM?
I CAN'T TODAY. I GOTTA GET TO THE COMBINE.
WHAT FOR? YOU AIN'T READY NO HOW.
UM, I MEAN, I WAS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR THE COLLEGE RECRUITERS TO INVITE ME.
YOU SHOULD NEVER BE SATISFIED
WITH BEING GOOD ENOUGH.
AND JUST FOR THE RECORD,
YOU GOT INVITED 'CAUSE YOU'RE BILLY BAKER'S BOY.
WELL, NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MY DAD.
WILLIE: LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE
REALLY CHALLENGED ON THE FIELD?
YOU, PERSONALLY?
YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO UP AGAINST COMPETITION
THAT'S A WHOLE LOT MORE TALENTED
AND PREPARED THAN YOU ARE.
YOU'LL SEE.
OR...MAYBE YOU'LL SEE
WHENEVER I PROVE YOU WRONG.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
OLIVIA: WHEN YOU SAID WE WERE
CO-HOSTING THE COMBINE,
I DIDN'T THINK YOU LITERALLY MEANT "WE."
HA HA! LOOK, I APPRECIATE
YOU GIVING US A HAND.
IT'S A BIG DAY.
SPENCER, YOUR BROTHER.
ASHER. BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS OFF THE TEAM.
OH, HE IS. HE IS.
SCOUTS CONTROL THE INVITATIONS, NOT ME.
HE DIDN'T RSVP. DID YOU FOLLOW UP?
I MEAN, THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR HIM. HE NEEDS THIS.
IF HE WANTED TO BE HERE,
HE WOULD'VE RSVP'd LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
ALL RIGHT?
[TAP TAP]
HEY. AHEM.
HEY.
OLIVIA. WHAT ARE YOU, UH...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I THINK THE QUESTION IS
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HAVE YOU BEEN SLEEPING IN YOUR CAR?
YEAH.
I GOT INTO IT WITH MY DAD,
AND HE PUT ME OUT.
THINGS DIDN'T GO OVER WELL WITH MY MOM
IN MALIBU, EITHER, SO...
I'M SORRY, ASHER.
OK, BUT YOUR PLAN CAN'T BE
TO DRINK YOUR PROBLEMS AWAY
AND SLEEP IN YOUR CAR.
DON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE CAR THING.
MY LIFE IS ALREADY PATHETIC ENOUGH AS IS.
OK. ON TWO CONDITIONS.
ONE--PUT THIS ON.
IT'S YOUR COMBINE JERSEY.
THE COMBINE? THAT'S TODAY?
YES, ASHER, IT'S TODAY.
YOU'RE ALREADY OFF THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
I MEAN, THIS MIGHT BE YOUR LAST CHANCE
AT A SCHOLARSHIP.
DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR FUTURE?
OF COURSE.
LOOK, I JUST ASSUMED WITH ME BEING OFF THE TEAM,
I'D BE UNINVITED.
WELL, YOU'RE NOT.
WHAT'S THE SECOND CONDITION?
YOU TAKE A SHOWER, LIKE...NOW.
IT'S, LIKE, REALLY BAD, DUDE.
SPENCER: WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME ABOUT NIGHT SCHOOL?
I WAS HERE ALL SUMMER
AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU SIGNED UP.
OH, BABY, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
I WAS TRYING TO FINISH MY B.A., BUT--
YEAH, AND YOU DROPPED OUT.
WAS IT BECAUSE I MOVED TO BEVERLY?
COLLEGE ISN'T THAT FAR AWAY FOR YOU.
IT WAS PAST TIME I STARTED SAVING
FOR YOUR COLLEGE FUND--
YOURS AND DILLON'S.
THAT'S WHAT MY EXTRA MONEY
SHOULD'VE BEEN GOING TO.
I'M ALREADY SO CLOSE
TO GETTING A SCHOLARSHIP,
SO CLOSE TO DOING WHAT I SAID I WOULD
WHEN I MOVED TO BEVERLY.
YOU SEEN THE LETTERS?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
SAVING FOR MY TUITION NO MORE, ALL RIGHT?
YOU CAN GO TO SCHOOL.
I DON'T WANT YOU BETTING EVERYTHING ON FOOTBALL.
YOU'RE TOO GIFTED FOR THAT.
WHAT IF YOU GET INJURED AND FOOTBALL GOES AWAY?
SO DOES YOUR SCHOLARSHIPS.
LOOK, MOM...
YOUR JOB IS MAKING SOMETHING SPECIAL
OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT I COULD GIVE YOU,
LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO. OK?
[KISS]
BOY: ALL RIGHT? THERE YOU GO. DIFFERENT BOY: THANK YOU.
WHAT'S UP, BABY? WHAT YOU DOING HERE?
STUCK COVERING FOR OLIVIA,
WHICH SHE OWES ME FOR BIG-TIME.
HEY, EVERYTHING OK?
YEAH, JUST A LOT ON MY MIND.
YOU KNOW.
BIG DAY.
UM, HEY, CAN YOU COVER FOR ME A SEC?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T WORRIED ABOUT THE COMBINE.
I WASN'T.
NOW I GOTTA LAND A SCHOLARSHIP
THIS WEEKEND AND COMMIT.
WHAT HAPPENED TO KEEPING YOUR OPTIONS OPEN?
MY MOM HAPPENED. I CAN'T HAVE HER
THROW AWAY HER DREAMS BECAUSE OF ME.
JJ: TIME TO GET IT IN, BOYS.
SPENCER: HEY. WHAT UP, WHAT UP, WHAT UP?
JORDAN: WHAT'S GOING ON, SPENCE?
HEY, LET'S SHOW THESE COLLEGE RECRUITERS
WHAT BEVERLY BOYS ARE MADE OF.
JORDAN: THAT'S RIGHT, BABY.
I LIKE YOUR SPIRIT.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU BALL.
YES, SIR.
OH. SPENCER. I TOOK YOUR ADVICE.
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT CRENSHAW.
I LIKE A PLAYER THAT'S NOT AFRAID
OF A LITTLE COMPETITION.

PLEASURE.
CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR YOUR BOY, THOUGH.
CHRIS: HEY, MAN, YOU THE ONE THAT

BILLY: ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE DISTRICT COMBINE.

YOU ARE THE BEST THAT THE AREA HAS TO OFFER.
HOWEVER, THE COMBINE IS DESIGNED TO FIND
THE BEST OF THE BEST.
YOU WILL BE TRIED AND MEASURED.
FOLLOW ME.
HEIGHT, WEIGHT, STRENGTH, AND SPEED.
ALL OF IT WILL BE TESTED,
AFTER WHICH A SELECT FEW OF YOU
WILL BE INVITED TO PLAY THE 7-ON-7
SHOWCASE GAME TOMORROW.
GENTLEMEN, MAKING THE CUT IS SIMPLE.
BE AT YOUR VERY BEST.
ALL RIGHT, FELLAS, GET THIS.
ATHLETE: WHOO!
HEY, YO, MAN, YOU SEEN OLIVIA?
SHE SAID SHE'D BE OUT FRONT THIS MORNING.
NO, MAN, I HAVEN'T SEEN HER SINCE LAST NIGHT.
SO, YOU NERVOUS?
NO WAY.
I'M COMING OFF A WINNING SEASON.
ALL RIGHT. EXCUSE ME.
THOUGH, LAST TIME I CHECKED,
THE COMBINE WASN'T A TEAM EVENT, SO...
HEH. THAT DOESN'T CHANGE A THING.
ALL RIGHT? I KNOW WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE.
EASY. NO ONE SAID YOU DIDN'T.
I MEAN, YOU GOT PROTOTYPICAL SIZE.
POPS PLAYED IN THE LEAGUE.
SCOUTS ARE PROBABLY ALREADY SALIVATING OVER YOU.
BILLY: ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL, WIDEOUTS ARE NEXT.

YO, WHEN DID CHRIS GET SO FAST?
ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME Y'ALL GONE HEAD TO HEAD.
YO, WHO'S THAT DUDE WITH CAM AND COACH KING?
BRETT HANSON.
ANGELES SOUTHERN'S NUMBER-ONE BOOSTER.
HE'S GOT HALF THE CAMPUS NAMED AFTER HIM.
NOW, WHY ARE YOU SWEATING? COACH KING ALL BUT SAID THEY CAME HERE FOR YOU, OK?
YOU'VE HAD A GOOD DAY, SPENCE.
WELL, IT AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, ALL RIGHT?
THEY GOT THEY EYES

AND I NEED THAT ANGELES SOUTHERN SCHOLARSHIP.
WHAT'S UP, SPENCE?
WHAT'S GOOD?
LOOK, I'M THINKING IT'S TIME
WE GIVE THESE GUYS A SHOW.
LET THEM KNOW WHAT US CRENSHAW BOYS DO.
WE AIN'T BOYS, CAM.
WHAT'S WRONG?
THOUGHT YOU LIKED TO COMPETE, BIG DAWG.
SO, WHAT YOU GOT IN MIND?
[APPLAUSE, INDISTINCT CHATTER]
HEY. 40-YARD DASH
IS SUPPOSED TO BE INDIVIDUALLY TIMED.
DID Y'ALL TWO GOAD THESE BOYS
INTO MAKING IT A RACE?
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.
FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT COMPETITION.
NOW, LET'S GIVE THESE BOYS WHAT THEY WANT.

LOOK, YOU AIN'T GOTTA SAY IT, ALL RIGHT?
ALL THEM COACHES, THEY CAME HERE TO SEE YOU.
YEAH, WELL, IT DIDN'T TAKE THEM LONG
TO FIND SOMEBODY THEY LIKED BETTER.
WHY DID YOU TAKE HIS BAIT?
YOU LET HIM SET IT UP LIKE
IT WAS A HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPETITION.
YOU JUST HELPED RAISE UP HIS PROFILE.
WELL, IT DON'T MATTER.
HE GONNA GET THAT ASU RECEIVER SCHOLARSHIP.
YOU HEARD WHAT COACH KING SAID.
THEY ONLY GOT ONE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO WANTING TO LEAVE YOUR OPTIONS OPEN?
PLANS CHANGE, ALL RIGHT?
-WHY? -BECAUSE OF MY MOMS.
SHE GOT DREAMS, TOO, LIKE FINISHING SCHOOL.
LOOK, I'VE GOTTA STAY CLOSE TO HOME, ALL RIGHT,
AND ASU'S LOCAL.
IT'S HER TURN.
LOOK, IF ANGELES SOUTHERN
IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE,
YOU NEED TO GO OUT THERE AND SHOW THEM
WHAT I ALREADY KNOW.
AND WHAT'S THAT?

ARE YOU GOOD?
JUST HAVING AN OFF DAY.
PSH. HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US, MAN.
DID YOU MISS A SINGLE THROW TODAY?
[SCOFFS] I MEAN...
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
YOU STRAIGHT-UP OUTPLAYED ME.
MAN: EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
JORDAN BAKER, CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK--THANKS-- THANKS, COACH.
CHRIS, MAYBE NEXT YEAR.
CHRIS, I'M--
I'M REALLY SORRY, MAN.
YOU DESERVED AN INVITE, TOO.
YEAH. I DESERVED THAT ONE.
WAIT. WAIT. HOL-- HOLD UP. YOU--
NO, MAN. YOU SAID I OUTPLAYED YOU ALL DAY.
YEAH, MAN, YOU GOT SIZE, STRENGTH,
BUT YOU ALSO GOT A DADDY THAT PLAYED IN THE NFL,
AND THAT RIGHT THERE, MAN,
THAT'S ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED.
BUT YOU KNOW, MAN, IT'S ALL GOOD.
IT'S ALL GOOD, BECAUSE WHERE I'M FROM,
I'M USED TO HUSTLING
AND WORKING TWICE AS HARD.
AND, MAN, WE BOTH KNOW YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS.
BUT, MAN, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PRIVILEGE.
I AIN'T GONNA STOP.
JJ: HEY. YOU SHOWED OUT TODAY.
LOVE, MAN. I APPRECIATE YOU, MAN.
LET'S HOPE IT WAS ENOUGH.
WHY, NO 7-ON-7 INVITE?
NOT YET.
JJ: LOOKS LIKE CAM JUST GOT HIS.
THE KID'S A BEAST.
COMBINE'S BEEN OVER FOR A WHILE.
I'M NOT READY TO LEAVE JUST YET.
[HORN HONKING IN DISTANCE]
I MISS THIS...
BEING OUT HERE.
I DIDN'T APPRECIATE IT ENOUGH.
WELL, COME BACK TOMORROW FOR THE 7-ON-7 GAME.
I'LL BE HERE.
SO WILL I.
WAIT. IS THAT--
THEY INVITED ME TO PLAY.
ASHER, THAT'S AMAZING.
I MEAN, THE GOLD ENVELOPE'S A BIT MUCH.
KIND OF WILLY WONKA, IF YOU ASK ME, BUT--
[LAUGHS]
WELL, IF ANYONE NEEDED A GOLDEN TICKET
RIGHT ABOUT NOW, IT WAS ME.
THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT YOU. THANK YOU.
OLIVIA: SO PROUD OF YOU.
SPENCER JAMES.
MAN, WHAT'D I TELL YOU?
THAT KID HAS A CHANCE TO BE SPECIAL.
HE ALREADY IS.
OH, YEAH, THANKS TO YOU.
NO. KID MAKES ME LOOK GOOD.
HEH. NOW, WE BOTH KNOW
IT'S NOT EASY TO DEVELOP RAW TALENT LIKE THAT, MAN.
MY HEAD COACH IS IMPRESSED.
FOR REAL? COACH MACK?
HE SHOULD BE.
SPENCER IS A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION TALENT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU, BILLY.
BILLY: SAY WHAT? DAMON: MM-HMM.
COACH MACK WANTS TO KNOW IF
YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COACHING AT
THE NEXT LEVEL.
I'M TALKING ANGELES SOUTHERN, MAN.
BILLY, THINK ABOUT IT, MAN.
WE WOULD GET TO WORK TOGETHER,
AND YOU COULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP SPENCER.
THERE IT IS.
DAMON: WHAT? BILLY: THE PACKAGE DEAL.
NO. NO, NO, NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS, MAN.
NO?
YOU ARE AN ELITE COACH, BILLY,
AND WE BOTH KNOW THAT, RIGHT? HUH?
SO. YOU INTERESTED?
UH...YES. I AM. HA HA!
[GLASSES CLINK]
MY MAN.
MM. LISTEN.
I WILL SET SOMETHING UP WITH YOU AND MACK.
MAN, THIS IS GONNA BE FUN, BRUH.
ALL RIGHT.
OH, AND, JUST SO I KNOW,
ANY IDEA WHICH WAY THE KID IS LEANING?
[LAUGHS]
MAKE HIM AN OFFER.
[DOOR CLOSES]
HEY, SPENCER.
YOU ON YOUR WAY HOME?
SPENCER: YEAH. BRETT: GOOD. GOOD.
GO HOME. GET DRESSED UP.
SEE YOU TONIGHT.
THANK YOU.
I WANTED TO DELIVER THAT MYSELF
INSTEAD OF COACH KING.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT LIMITED SPACE AT ANGELES SOUTHERN.
YES, SIR.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE ROOM FOR YOU.
FOR REAL?
WELL, IT'S NOT OFFICIAL UNTIL
YOU GET YOUR OFFER LETTER, BUT, UH,
IT'S ON ITS WAY.
YOU SHOULD KNOW, UM, WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN, SO,
IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED, ANYTHING,
YOU COME TO ME.
YES, SIR.
WELCOME TO ASU, SON.
SO, CHRIS JUST LEFT WITHOUT
SAYING GOOD-BYE TO YOU?
HE'S PROBABLY JUST UPSET ABOUT THE COMBINE AND--
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE HE JUST NEEDS SOME SPACE.
HMM. LOOK AT YOU BEING ALL UNDERSTANDING.
HE'S MY BOYFRIEND.
GLAD YOU REMEMBERED THAT.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR EMERGENCY THIS MORNING
WAS SAVING ASHER.
HE'S IN A BAD PLACE RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, I'VE BEEN THERE, AND I WAS LUCKY.
I MEAN, WHAT SAVED ME WAS A FAMILY
WHO FORCED ME TO GET THE HELP THAT I NEEDED.
WE JUST NEED TO BE THAT FAMILY FOR ASHER.
[DOOR OPENS]
HEY, BABY.
HEY.
I GOT BIG NEWS.
I HEARD.
YOU DID?
YOU GOT AN INVITE TO THAT 7-ON-7 SCRIMMAGE.
BILLY TEXTED ME.
THAT'S NOT THE BIG NEWS, MA.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SIT DOWN FOR THIS.
I'LL STAND.
I'M GOING TO ANGELES SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY.
THEY ABOUT TO OFFER ME A FULL RIDE.
THAT WAY I CAN STAY CLOSE TO HOME, AND WE CAN JUST--
ANGELES SOUTHERN?
NO. YOU'RE NOT MAKING THIS DECISION NOW.
IT'S A GOOD SCHOOL, MA. WE DID IT.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
NOT FOR YOU. NOT ACADEMICALLY.
YOU WORKED TOO HARD FOR THIS.
YEAH, YOU RIGHT. I DID WORK HARD FOR THIS.
THAT'S WHY IT'S MY DECISION.
LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT NOW.
YOU BEST BELIEVE THIS IS OUR DECISION.
MA, THIS FULL SCHOLARSHIP MEANS
YOU CAN FINISH YOUR DEGREE RIGHT NOW.
I DID NOT SEND YOU TO BEVERLY
AND QUIT NIGHT SCHOOL SO YOU COULD SELL YOUR FUTURE SHORT.
I MADE THOSE SACRIFICES...
YOU THINK I LIKE LIVING IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S HOUSE?
HELPING MY LITTLE BROTHER WITH HIS HOMEWORK OVER THE PHONE?
YOU NOT THE ONLY ONE MAKING SACRIFICES HERE, ALL RIGHT?
I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO TAKE THAT BASS
OUT YOUR VOICE RIGHT NOW.
I'M SORRY.
BUT IT IS MY DECISION.
AND I DECIDED THAT ASU IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR ME.
THAT'S IT. I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU,
FOR DILLON, AND ME.
THAT'S IT.
GOOD EVENING.
UH, CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?
YEAH. GIVE ME A MINUTE, GUYS.
EVERYTHING OK?
YEAH. ALL GOOD.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION.
LISTEN--
HEY, HEY.
WHATEVER'S IN THAT ENVELOPE BELONGS TO YOU.
KEEP IT.
I'M SURE THAT'D BE A BIG HELP TO YOUR MOTHER.
IT'S NOT EASY BEING THE ONLY PARENT IN THE HOUSE.
CAM: BRETT HANSON. MY DAWG.
CAM, I THOUGHT I MISSED YOU.
HA! NAH, MAN.
JUST HAD TO MAKE A QUICK STOP.
YOU KNOW, CINDERELLA DON'T COME TO THE BALL
TILL SHE GETS HER GLASS SLIPPERS.
BRETT: YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN TONIGHT.
YOU BOTH DESERVE A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL
AFTER TODAY.
SO, WHAT, YOU TAKING MONEY NOW?
DIDN'T YOU?
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ANGELES SOUTHERN.
NO, I WANT THE SCHOLARSHIP, NOT THE MONEY.
OK. WHATEVER. DO YOU.
LOOK, ONE PHONE CALL,
AND YOU LOSE YOUR ELIGIBILITY.
THAT'S HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE.
ASU ALREADY GOT WHAT THEY NEED
TO KEEP YOU, DAWG.
THAT MONEY AIN'T A GIFT.
IT'S LEVERAGE SO YOU GOTTA COMMIT.
I AIN'T STUPID. I KNOW WHAT THIS IS,
AND I'M GOOD WITH IT.
SO, WHEN THEY GIVE ME THAT SCHOLARSHIP,
I'M GONNA TAKE IT.
SO, YOU'RE COOL WITH BEING BOUGHT AND PAID FOR?
I AIN'T GOT NO FAIRY GODFATHER
IN BEVERLY HILLS.
I JUST GOT FOOTBALL.
SO, I'M GONNA USE IT FOR WHAT I CAN GET
AS LONG AS I CAN.
THAT'S THE GAME.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I'M GOING TO GO GET ME ONE OF THEM
TINY-ASS PLATES.
OLIVIA: DAD, YOU HAVE A VISITOR.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S MAKE THIS QUICK, SON.
I'M ALREADY LATE FOR THE SHOWCASE DINNER.
YES, SIR.
I, UM...
I WANTED TO THANK YOU.
I KNOW THAT I LET YOU DOWN AT HOMECOMING.
I JUST--I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU
GIVING ME THIS CHANCE.
OK, WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.
JUNIOR COLLEGE COACH EVEN EXPRESSED INTEREST TODAY.
THINKS I CAN GO ON TO A D-I SCHOOL.
ALL RIGHT.
SINCE HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING,
I'M GUESSING YOU DIDN'T TELL THE COACHES
THAT I WAS KICKED OFF THE TEAM.
THEY DIDN'T ASK.
BUT, UH, UNDERSTAND THIS.
IF SOMEONE DOES ASK ME DIRECTLY,
I AIN'T LYING FOR YOU.
ONE MORE THING.
OLIVIA HAS FOUGHT REALLY HARD
TO GET HER LIFE BACK TOGETHER.
AND NOW SHE SEEMS DETERMINED
TO HELP YOU DO THE SAME.
DO NOT DRAG HER BACK DOWN WITH YOU.
DO NOT.
SHE SEES SOMETHING IN YOU, ASH.
PLEASE PROVE HER RIGHT.
I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS ON THAT.
THANKS. I APPRECIATE THAT. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
-GREAT WORK TODAY. -YOU, TOO.
SEE YOU. YEAH.
HEY, COACH.
MM. TO A GREAT COMBINE.
OR MAYBE WE CAN TOAST
THE NEXT GREAT ASU QUARTERBACK, JORDAN BAKER.
[GLASSES CLINK]
[CHUCKLES]
WHAT DID YOU WANT ME TO SAY?
OK, LOOK, YOU DID FINE TODAY, OK?
YOU HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY TOOLS, MAN.
YOU GOT A STRONG ARM. YOU'RE A SMART KID.
OK, BUT?
SOMETHING'S HOLDING YOU BACK.
I MEAN, GREAT PLAYERS, THEY JUST PLAY,
BUT YOU, YOU HESITATE UNDER PRESSURE.
AND YOU GOTTA FIGURE OUT WHY FOR YOURSELF.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'M--I'M SORRY. WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I JUST ASKED IF COACH BAKER'S PLANNING
TO USE YOU ANY DIFFERENTLY IN THE PLAYOFFS.
YEAH. I, UH...MAYBE.
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GAME PLANNING?
NO, WE--WE HAVE.
NO, COACH AND I...
ACTUALLY, I WAS HOPING
TO TRANSFER TO MALIBU NEXT YEAR.
IS THIS ABOUT BAKER BRINGING IN
THE KID FROM CRENSHAW?
NO. IT'S NOT.
IT'S BECAUSE I GOT MYSELF
KICKED OFF THE TEAM.
BILLY: WE HEAR CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THAT.
WHAT? DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT
COMMITTING TO ANGELES SOUTHERN?
I FOUND TWO Gs IN MY INVITATION ENVELOPE.
WHAT'D YOU DO WITH IT?
TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK TO HANSON.
HE WOULDN'T TAKE IT.
A BOOSTER? ARE YOU SURE?
HE DIDN'T BOTHER WITH SEEMING SURPRISED.
LOOK, I CAN'T LOSE THIS SCHOLARSHIP.
ALL RIGHT.
CLEAN PROGRAMS, THEY DON'T WANT BOOSTERS
PUTTING THEIR PLAYERS' ELIGIBILITY
AT RISK, SO...
I'LL HANDLE THIS.
SAY.
HEY.
WHAT'S GOING ON, BROTHER?
THERE'S SOMETHING I THINK YOU SHOULD SEE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
WAIT. SO, YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MONEY.
THERE'S BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING.
HANSON GAVE A POTENTIAL RECRUIT MONEY.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
BAKER, THIS IS ONLY A BIG DEAL
IF YOU TURN IT INTO ONE.
PAYOFFS. BOOSTER GIFTS.
THAT'S HOW THE RECRUITING GAME IS PLAYED.
YOU ARE PUTTING THESE KIDS' FUTURES AT STAKE,
THEIR FAMILIES' FUTURES.
THE ONLY FUTURES AT RISK HERE
ARE YOURS AND SPENCER'S.
WHISTLEBLOWERS GET COACHES FIRED,
AND A KID LIKE THAT CAN'T BE CONTROLLED,
AND THAT KIND OF TROUBLE ISN'T WORTH
THE RISK TO US.
SO, IF THE JAMES KID REALLY WANTS
TO JOIN OUR PROGRAM,
YOU GET THAT BOY TO PLAY BALL.
WELL, IF YOU THINK THAT I'M GONNA LET YOU
COMPROMISE SPENCER
OR ANY OF MY BOYS,
YOU GOT ANOTHER THINK COMING.
HMM.
MAN, BOY.
THEN I GUESS THE JAMES KID
ISN'T ANGELES SOUTHERN MATERIAL.
AND NEITHER ARE YOU.
SPENCER: COACH KING CAN DO THAT?
JUST NOT LET ME PLAY AFTER I EARNED IT?
I'M NOT THE COACH HERE.
SO, WHAT, I'M JUST SUPPOSED TO STAND THERE?
WHAT DO I DO IF ANOTHER RECRUITER ASKS?
YOU'RE GONNA SAY YOU'RE INJURED
AND THAT YOU CAN'T PLAY.
COME ON, MAN. AIN'T NO WAY.
YEAH. I'M SORRY, SPENCER,
BUT YOU DID REALLY WELL YESTERDAY,
AND THE SCOUTS WILL REMEMBER THAT.
BUT IF YOU END UP SUITING UP,
THEN PEOPLE ARE GONNA ASK QUESTIONS,
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU DID NOTHING WRONG,
THOSE QUESTIONS ARE GONNA END UP BEING MARKS AGAINST YOU.
HOW IS THIS FAIR?
IT'S NOT, SON.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
OLIVIA: LOOK, I KNOW IT SUCKS NOT MAKING THE CUT,
BUT, I MEAN, YOU JUST DISAPPEARED ON ME.
WASN'T JUST THE 7-ON-7.
ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME, THEN,
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, I'M GONNA THINK IT'S ME.
OH, IT IS ME.
IT'S JUST THIS WAS A BIG WEEKEND FOR ME.
YOU KNOW?
AND YOU'RE WITH ASHER THE WHOLE TIME.
YOU KNOW THERE'S NOTHING BETWEEN
ME AND ASHER, RIGHT?
OK, AH, I KNOW THAT, ALL RIGHT?
ALL I'M SAYING IS, YESTERDAY WAS TOUGH,
AND IT JUST SUCKS
THAT I HAVE TO DISAPPEAR
FOR YOU TO SEE ALL THAT.
OK, YOU KNOW WHAT? FORGET IT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN SAID NOTHING.
NO, NO, HEY,
I'M GLAD YOU DID,
AND I'M... I'M SORRY
I DIDN'T SEE HOW HARD YESTERDAY WAS FOR YOU
BECAUSE I'VE-- I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU SHAKEN.
NOT BY GUNSHOTS OR SLUT-SHAMING.
I'LL LOOK HARDER NEXT TIME,
AND AS FOR ASHER--
NAH, I KNOW Y'ALL BEEN COOL FOR A MINUTE.
YEAH, NO, IT'S NOT THAT.
LAST YEAR, I DIDN'T ASK FOR HELP,
AND IT ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE.
YOU MEAN WHEN-- WHEN YOU WERE AN ADDICT?
IT'S NOT A PAST-TENSE THING.
UM...I DIDN'T STOP BEING AN ADDICT
WHEN I STOPPED USING,
AND A PART OF HOW I DEAL WITH THAT IS
BY HELPING OTHERS.
LIKE ASHER.
I GET IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
BE A PART OF THAT OR IF I'M, LIKE,
TOO COMPLICATED OR--
I CAN'T LIKE YOU FOR YOUR HEART
AND BE MAD WHEN YOU USE IT.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[PHONE CHIMING]
SORRY.
YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE GOOD.
[CHIMING]
OLIVIA: HEH. CHRIS: HEY.
DO YOUR THING.
ALL RIGHT. IT'S ALL GOOD.
[CHIMES]
MA? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
ASU COACH WON'T LET ME PLAY.
BILLY ALREADY TOLD ME.
DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY YOU LEAVING.
LOOK, IF THE SCOUTS THINK I'M INJURED,
THEY WON'T THINK I'M TROUBLE.
SINCE WHEN DO YOU CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK?
YOU'VE GIVEN UP SO MUCH FOR ME.
I WANTED THE SCHOLARSHIP FOR YOU.
THE SAME WAY YOU WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR ME,
I WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU, TOO.
MA, YOUR DREAMS ARE IMPORTANT, TOO.
YES, OUR DREAMS ARE IMPORTANT,
BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF WHO WE ARE.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING NOT COMPROMISING
YOURSELF FOR A SCHOLARSHIP,
BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF I LET YOU BACK DOWN.
DON'T PLAY THAT GAME.
PLAY YOURS.
ASHER? YOU IN HERE?
ASHER: YOUR DAD WOULD KILL YOU IF HE KNEW
YOU WERE IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
WELL, I WANTED TO CHECK IN.
I'M SORRY THEY CUT YOU FROM THE SHOWCASE.
I KNEW HONESTY HAD ITS CONSEQUENCES.
NEVER REALLY BELIEVED YOU ABOUT THE REWARDS, THOUGH.
REWARDS? WHAT HAPPENED?
I'M BACK ON THE TEAM.
WHAT? WHAT?
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
IT JUST HAPPENED.
YOUR DAD SAID THAT ME TELLING THAT COACH THE TRUTH,
IT SHOWED HIM THAT I WAS FINALLY WILLING
TO OWN MY CRAP.
YOU KNOW, TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY.
OLIVIA, THANK YOU.
NO, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
YEAH. YOU DID.
OK, WELL, I'M NOT DONE YET.
ASHER, YOU CAN'T KEEP SLEEPING IN YOUR CAR
FOR A GAZILLION REASONS, BUT...
I THINK I HAVE A SOLUTION.
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
YO, COACH'S SON KEEPS
OVERTHROWING ME, MAN.
I TOLD Y'ALL HE AIN'T NO REAL QB.
BILLY: YOU GONNA LET HIM TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT?
YEAH, HE'S RIGHT, OK?
WHAT YOU MEAN, HE'S RIGHT?
HE AIN'T RIGHT.
EASY. IT WASN'T PERFECT, BUT--
TH--THERE'S NO "BUT" AFTER
"IT WASN'T PERFECT," OK?
HOLD UP. WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
IT MEANS STOP PATRONIZING ME
AND START PUSHING ME TO BE THE BEST.
OK, GRANDPA WILLIE WAS RIGHT. I'M--
I'M NOT READY FOR ALL THIS.
I WARNED YOU ABOUT LETTING THAT MAN
GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD, BOY.
DAD, WOULD I HAVE EVEN MADE THE SHOWCASE
IF I WASN'T YOUR SON?
LOOK, EVEN IF THAT DID PLAY A ROLE,
AND THAT'S A BIG "IF,"
WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU DO
WITH THE OPPORTUNITY.
SPENCER: HEY. HEY.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
GET IN THERE AND OWN YOUR SPOT, MAN.
KEEP FIRING.
IT AIN'T ON YOU IF CAM WON'T GO UP AND GET IT.
THOUGHT YOU WERE INJURED OR WHATEVER.
LOOK, SCOUTS CAN THINK WHAT THEY WANT.
IF COACH KING WON'T GIVE ME A CHANCE,
THEN THAT'S ON HIM, BUT I'MMA BE RIGHT HERE.
AND WHEN I DO GET MY SHOT, AIN'T NOBODY
FORGETTING ABOUT ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT? TO HELL WITH THIS.
BOTH Y'ALL GET WARM.
YOU'RE GONNA GET ANOTHER SHOT AT
THAT NEXT SERIES. GO. GO.
LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
JORDAN AND SPENCER ARE GONNA PLAY
IN THIS NEXT SERIES.
AND IF NOT, I'M GOING STRAIGHT TO THE NCAA.
I'M GONNA START WHISPERS ABOUT
THERE BEING A DIRTY COACH AT ASU.
I'M WONDERING HOW MUCH LONGER THAT PROGRAM'S
GONNA PROTECT YOU ONCE I START
GIVING INTERVIEWS TO ESPN ABOUT
HOW YOU'RE MAKING PAYOFFS.
YOU WON'T EVER COACH AGAIN.
EXCUSE ME.
BOY: FIGHT THE D. WIDE, HUT!
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
BILLY: WHOO.
JORDAN: MONEY. BILLY: OK.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ON VIDEO]
HA!
THAT'S A DAMN FINE PLAY, YO.
NO, DAD, THAT'S ALL SPENCE.
YO, THOSE VIEWS FOR REAL?
YEAH, MAN. 250,000 AND CLIMBING.
BILLY: WHAT? DID YOU POST THAT?
UH-UH. GOT POSTED TO SOME RECRUITMENT SITE.
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT TILL JJ HIT US UP.
YEAH.
AH. EXPLAINS WHY I GOT A CALL
FIRST THING THIS MORNING FROM THE S.E.C. SCOUT ASKING ABOUT YOU.
SPENCER: FOR REAL? BILLY: UH-HUH.
'CAUSE OF THE VIDEO?
NO. WHEN ONE BIG DOG STARTS SNIFFING AROUND,
YOU CAN EXPECT THE REST CLOSE BEHIND.
WELL DONE, Y'ALL. YEAH.
WHOA! APPRECIATE YOU.
WAY TO GET IT DONE. WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN?
YEAH.
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?
OLIVIA: ASHER'S HOMELESS, AND YOU HAVE
A BIG, EMPTY HOUSE JUST SITTING HERE.
IT MAKES SENSE.
YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMEWHERE ELSE HE CAN STAY
OTHER THAN MY HOUSE.
HIS DAD KICKED HIM OUT.
HE'S LIVING IN HIS CAR.
HE HAS NO ONE AND, LOOK, YES,
HE'S MADE SOME MISTAKES, OK?
ALL FOUR OF US HAVE.
BUT SOMEHOW, HE'S THE ONLY ONE
STILL PAYING FOR IT.
IT'S YOUR HOUSE, AND I TRUST YOU.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ON VIDEO]
YEAH. THAT'S IT?
IF YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU I WAS WRONG
ABOUT YOU BEING READY...
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE.
THAT'S NOT A THROW, JORDAN.
IT'S A CATCH, SPENCER'S CATCH.
I KNOW IT, AND ANY SCOUT
WORTH HIS SALT WILL KNOW IT, TOO.
JORDAN: OK. WILLIE: OK WHAT?
OK, I WANT YOU TO TRAIN ME.
WHY?
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE HOW MUCH THE GAME MEANT TO ME.
OK? THAT I WANTED IT FOR ME
AND NOT MY DAD, BUT NOW I KNOW.
I WANT TO BE GREAT, AND YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WHO'S EVER HELD ME TO THAT STANDARD.
YOU NEED TO BE SURE, KID.
AIN'T GONNA BABY YOU.
AIN'T GOT NO TIME FOR NO WHINING.
I DON'T COACH LIKE YOUR DADDY.
YOU'RE LIKELY TO HATE ME BEFORE WE'RE DONE.
UNDERSTAND?
YES, SIR.
YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
YOU KNOW WHERE THE GUEST BEDROOM IS.

♪ AND I HEARD YOUR HEARTBEAT, TOO ♪
♪ WELL, I NEVER KNEW I COULD WITNESS ♪

SO, WHAT'S THE SPECIAL OCCASION?
CHICKEN POT PIE'S A DEAD GIVEAWAY.
WOW. DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE
I DID THAT. HEH!
YES.
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOU TWO.
WHAT FOR?
WELL, SPENCER HELPED ME
REALIZE SOMETHING YESTERDAY.
NOT ONLY AM I YOUR MOTHER,
I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THIS FAMILY.
AND IN THIS FAMILY,
WE DON'T LET EACH OTHER SETTLE
FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN WHAT WE DESERVE.
AND IF I'M GONNA ASK THAT OF YOU,
I HAVE TO ASK THAT OF MYSELF, TOO.
SO, TODAY...
I PICKED UP THIS FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE
FROM THE COLLEGE.
TO BE HONEST, IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
I'M GONNA NEED YOUR HELP.
BUT IF WE AGREE THAT THIS IS
WHAT'S BEST FOR ALL OF US, FOR THIS FAMILY,
I PROMISE TO TRY TO DO
WHAT YOU TWO DO EVERY DAY--
MAKE SOMETHING SPECIAL OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY
THAT YOU GIVE ME.
WE'RE IN.
ADULT EDUCATION GRANT APPLICATION.
BUT THAT AIN'T NOTHING.
I GOT A HOOKUP WITH
MRS. G's AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM.
IF I HELP OUT WITH THE LITTLE KIDS THERE,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PICK ME UP TILL 7:45.
TOTALLY FREE.
HEY, DON'T LOOK AT ME.
THAT WAS ALL D.
DILLON, YOU NEVER HAD A MS. G.
HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?
WELL, SPENCER ISN'T THE ONLY
JAMES BROTHER WHO GOT GAME.
SPENCER: SHUT UP! GRACE: YOU KNOW WHAT?
