UHH!
PICK UP THE PHONE. COME ON, ANSWER THE PHONE, LAYLA.
AAH!
SO WHO YOU ROOTING FOR?
-BETWEEN CRENSHAW AND BEVERLY? -MM-HMM.
WHAT--CAN'T I ROOT FOR BOTH TEAMS?
NO. NO, YOU GOTTA PICK A SIDE.
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN
MY SCHOOL AND MY BROTHER
AGAINST MY DAD AND MY--
CAN'T EVEN SAY IT.
MY BOYFRIEND.
-MM. -THERE.
-MM. -HAPPY?
YES.
I JUST LIKE HEARING IT OUT LOUD.
DOES IT--DOES IT FEEL WEIRD TO YOU?
LIKE, PUTTING A LABEL ON IT LIKE THAT?
NOW IT KINDA DOES.
OK. WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.
IT'S NOT US BEING TOGETHER.
IT'S JUST--I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S JUST BEEN SUCH A CRAZY BUILD-UP WITH US
THAT UNTIL EVERYONE KNOWS,
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM REAL.
THAT'S WHY I CALLED LAYLA.
I DIDN'T WANT HER HEARING ABOUT US
FROM SOMEBODY ELSE.
HOW'D IT GO?
I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN SHE CALLS ME BACK.
UNLESS THAT CARRIE GIRL GETS THE MESSAGE FIRST
AND DELETES IT.
GEEZ. I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HER.
HEY, GUYS. CAN I JOIN YOU?
UM, YEAH. GRAB A SEAT.
ACTUALLY, I'MA ROLL OUT.
I WILL, UH, CALL YOU LATER. SIMONE.
OK, NOW, WHAT WAS THAT?
THIS IS GONNA BE A HUGE SURPRISE TO YOU...
BUT SPENCER AND I ARE TOGETHER.
LIKE A COUPLE.
IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR SURPRISED FACE?
GIRL, NO. IT'S MY
"ABOUT DAMN TIME" FACE.
WHAT ARE YOU SO STRESSED ABOUT?
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUN PART.
TALK TO ME WHEN YOU ABOUT TO CALL OFF A MARRIAGE.
NO, YOU AND JORDAN ARE AS STRONG AS EVER.
OK? I'M JUST--I'M HAVING,
LIKE, A MINI FREAK-OUT,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY AND IT'S--
IT'S NOT ABOUT SPENCER.
I DON'T WANT TO HURT LAYLA OR ASHER.
THAT SHIP SAILED IN VEGAS.
AND EVERYONE'S MOVING ON.
AIN'T NOBODY GONNA BE SHOCKED.
EVEN THEM.
HERE IT IS. THE FINAL PRODUCT.
WHY DOES IT SAY "COOP" SO BIG?
BECAUSE WHEN I SHOWED YOU THE PROTOTYPE A FEW WEEKS AGO,
YOU SAID, "MAKE IT SAY COOP BIGGER."
CAN YOU MAKE IT SMALLER?
YOU LEAVE FOR TOUR IN TWO DAYS.
THIS IS WHAT THE SHIRT LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S ALREADY PRINTED AND PACKED AND I GAVE IT TO ANDRE
SINCE HE GONNA BE HANDLING ALL THE MERCH FOR ME.
COOP, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BE GREAT ON STAGE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS OTHER STUFF.
MAN, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE Y'ALL AIN'T GOING.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN VEGAS ALL BY MYSELF?
HANG WITH ANDRE.
I'M NOT HANGIN' WITH ANDRE.
WOULD YOU HANG WITH ANDRE? -HELL NO.
OK. WHAT ABOUT PATIENCE?
SHE'S SUPER TIRED.
SHE AIN'T LOOKING TO GO TO VEGAS.
WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET HER DECIDE THAT.
REMEMBER, SHE JUST GOT OUT OF THE CONTRACT WITH MY DAD,
SO NOW MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A REALLY GOOD TIME
TO RELEASE THE ORIGINAL FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GOING WITH
THE 4-3 DEFENSE ALL YEAR.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S NOT GONNA
WORK WITH SPENCER JAMES.
DAD, RELAX.
OK? MONTES, SHE HAS US READY.
I'M SURE EVERY COACH THINKS THEY'RE READY FOR SPENCER,
RIGHT UP UNTIL HE SCORES HIS FIFTH TOUCHDOWN ON THEM.
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN.
IT'S THE HEAD COACH FROM COASTAL CALIFORNIA.
YOU GONNA ANSWER IT?
HELLO?
UH, YEAH, YEAH, THIS IS ASHER.
GIVE ME ONE SECOND.
YES. YES, SIR.
THANK YOU. YEAH.
HE OFFERED ME A FULL SCHOLARSHIP.
YES! OH! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, SON.
HEY. HEY.
HEY, WHAT'S UP, COACH?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
WHY DO YOU THINK SOMETHING HAPPENED?
BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME YOU EVER SHOW UP
OUT THE BLUE LIKE THIS IS
WITH EITHER GOOD NEWS OR BAD NEWS.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
HE AIN'T LYING, BILLY.
I AM NOT THAT PREDICTABLE.
SO IT'S NOT GOOD NEWS OR BAD NEWS?
UHH. FINE. IT'S GOOD NEWS.
MM-HMM.
WHAT'S THIS? OPEN IT.
"DEAR SPENCER JAMES,
"YOU HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF
"THE NATION'S TOP SENIOR
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS."
WHOO-HOO-HOO!
THERE'S MORE, THERE'S MORE.
"IN RECOGNITION OF YOUR TREMENDOUS SEASON,

THANK YOU.
AAH!
-YEAH. PROUD OF YOU. -YOU DID IT.
I'M FRAMING THIS. YAY!

WE GONNA HIT THE SHOWERS, COACH.
YEAH, MAN. GOOD PRACTICE TODAY.
HEY, WHAT YOU WATCHING?
OH, IT'S SPENCER. HE'S GIVING THIS
INTERVIEW FOR PLATINUM ALL-AMERICAN GAME.
SO THAT'S WHY HE SKIPPED PRACTICE TODAY?
NO, NO, HE DIDN'T SKIP.
I ACTUALLY GAVE HIM PERMISSION TO TAKE
THE DAY OFF TO DO THIS THING.
OH, MY FAVORITE FOOD?
I GOTTA GO WITH MAC AND CHEESE.
YEAH. -HEH HEH HEH!
COME ON, MAN. IS THIS DUDE SERIOUS?
-IS THERE A PROBLEM? -YOU TELL ME, COACH.
WE GOT A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN TWO DAYS,
AND OUR BEST PLAYER'S OVER HERE
TALKING ABOUT MAC AND CHEESE, MAN.
SPENCER'S HEAD IS IN THE GAME.
WHY DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT YOU?
♪ HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY ♪
♪ HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY ♪
♪ SWITCH IT UP ♪
ALL RIGHT, BRING IT IN!
COME ON, GUYS, HUSTLE!
COME ON IN HERE.
WE'RE GONNA DO A 40-MINUTE
FULL-CONTACT SCRIMMAGE WITH FIRST TEAM.
REMEMBER, THIS IS THE LAST FULL PRACTICE
BEFORE THE BIGGEST GAME OF YOUR LIVES,
SO I NEED YOU TO BRING IT.
ALL RIGHT. GET ON OUT THERE.
BAKER.
COACH.
YOU SAID FIRST TEAM.
J.J. IS STILL OUR STARTER.
THIS GAME IS MY LAST CHANCE TO
IMPRESS COLLEGE COACHES, SHOW THEM
I'M FINE POST-INJURY, ALL RIGHT?
IF I DON'T PLAY, IT'S ALL OVER.
I'M SORRY, BUT I NEED TO PUT THE TEAM
IN THE BEST POSITION TO WIN.
WITH J.J.?
WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE.
RESPECT MY DECISION.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO!
READY...SET, GO!
UHH!
ADAMS! YOU GOOD?
YEAH, I'M GOOD, COACH.
WHAT YOU DOING?
UM, I AM STUDYING
FOR MY CALCULUS FINAL.
I HAVE AN IDEA.
YOU SAID THAT YOUR DAD
HAS A HOUSE IN TAHOE, RIGHT?
YEAH.
SO, AFTER YOU FINISH
ALL YOUR FINALS, LET'S GO.
WE CAN GET AWAY FROM EVERYONE HERE.
OR, UM, YOU COULD GO SEE YOUR PARENTS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE ME.
ACTUALLY, THEY DO.
I CALLED THEM.
YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK?
CARRIE, I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP,
AND THEY ARE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
THEY'RE MANIPULATIVE LIARS.
YOU WERE THE ONE PERSON
THAT I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST.
CARRIE, HEY, YOU CAN TRUST ME.
LOOK, I JUST--I'M EXHAUSTED FROM ALL THIS WORK
AND YOU'RE RIGHT. I NEED A BREAK.
SO, UM, AFTER FINALS ARE DONE,
LET'S GO TO TAHOE.
REALLY?
REALLY.
OH! OH, MY GOSH. I'M SORRY FOR LOSING IT.
MY PARENTS ARE JUST A TRIGGER FOR ME.
I KNOW YOU GET IT, WITH YOUR DAD
TOTALLY BEING THE SAME.
I'M SO GLAD WE HAVE EACH OTHER, LAYLA.
OK. I'LL LET YOU STUDY.
TAHOE'S GONNA BE AMAZING. HEH!
HEY, ASH, YOU GOOD, MAN?
TOOK A PRETTY NASTY SHOT OUT THERE.
YEAH. I'LL BE FINE. JUST SORE RIBS.
HEY, DID YOU HEAR ABOUT SPENCE?
HE GOT INVITED TO THE ALL-AMERICAN GAME.
WHERE'D YOU HEAR THAT?
I JUST WATCHED AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM ONLINE.
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MAC AND CHEESE, TOO.
DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT.
AH.
GOOD FOR HIM.
HE DESERVES IT.
HEY, MAN, IF YOU HADN'T TAKEN THAT
BIG HIT AGAINST WESTLAKE,
YOU'D BE PLAYING IN THAT GAME, TOO.
THAT'S THE KIND OF SEASON YOU WERE HAVING.
THANKS.
NOW, IF I'D BEEN STARTING ALL YEAR,
I'D HAVE GOTTEN AN INVITE TO THAT GAME.
OK.
OH, IS SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT THAT?
YO, YOU'VE BEEN SULKING ALL DAY, MAN.
WHAT HAPPENED TO SUPPORTING ME AS QB1?
J.J., THAT WAS WHEN I THOUGHT I'D
NEVER PLAY FOOTBALL AGAIN.
LOOK, MAN, YOU'VE BEEN
A REAL SOLID BACKUP.
BUT, HEY, I'M HEALTHY NOW, RIGHT?
SO I'M READY TO TAKE MY STARTING SPOT BACK.
CLEARLY NOT, UH, WHICH IS WHY
COACH MONTES MADE YOU MY BACKUP.
RIGHT. LOOK, YOU'RE NOT EVEN A REAL QUARTERBACK.
IF IT WASN'T FOR ME,
OUR SEASON WOULD BE OVER,
AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.
WELL, LET'S SEE YOU LEARN TO SIT IN THE POCKET...
HEY, HEY, STOP. BREAK IT UP, GUYS.
J.J., GO AWAY, MAN. GO BACK TO YOUR LOCKER.
SCRAMBLE AWAY, J.J.
DUDE?
LOOK, I GET THAT YOU'RE UPSET, OK,
BUT YOU'VE GOTTA SEE MONTES' SIDE.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE YOU'VE PLAYED.
YOU'VE JUST STARTED THROWING THE FOOTBALL AGAIN, ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING IS ON THE LINE. I KNOW THIS WASN'T AN EASY DECISION FOR HER.
LOOK, I'VE BEEN TRAINING WITH SPENCER FOR WEEKS.
THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T CLEARED FOR PRACTICE.
I WASN'T AND NOBODY KNOWS
AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU THIS
BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I'M
IN THE BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE, MAN.
ALL RIGHT? I MEAN, SPENCE AND I,
WE'VE EVEN RUN THROUGH OUR WHOLE OFFENSIVE PLAYBOOK.
I'M READY TO GO. I SHOULD BE STARTING IN THAT GAME.
I WANT TO THANK ALL Y'ALL
FOR COMING OUT TODAY TO CELEBRATE
THIS HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT
BY MY BABY BOY, SPENCER JAMES.
ALL HE'S EVER DONE IS EXCEED MY EXPECTATIONS,
NOT JUST ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD,
BUT WITH THE MAN THAT HE'S BECOME.
AND EVERY ONE OF YOU
HAS HELPED SPENCER BECOME THAT MAN.
I REALIZED VERY EARLY ON
THAT HE DOESN'T JUST MAKE ME PROUD,
HE MAKES ALL OF US PROUD,
BECAUSE THIS IS SPENCER'S HOME.
YOU'RE ALL HIS FAMILY, AND NOW
HE'S CRENSHAW'S ALL-AMERICAN.
Thanks, Mom.
ALL RIGHT, DON'T LET THE FOOD GET COLD, Y'ALL.
IS YOUR MOM THINKING OF GOING INTO POLITICS?
'CAUSE SHE HAS MY VOTE.
NAH. SHE DON'T NEED THAT LIFE.
SHE GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD IN HER OWN WAY.
SHE BROUGHT YOU INTO IT, SO THAT'S A GOOD START.
YES, IT IS.
-UM... -OK.
REMEMBER YOU WERE ASKING ME IF THIS FELT WEIRD?
IT'S STARTING TO FEEL WEIRD.
THAT'S THE SECOND TIME YOU'VE PULLED AWAY FROM ME IN PUBLIC.
ARE WE KEEPING THIS RELATIONSHIP A SECRET? - NO. NO. I'M JUST...
I'M IN MY HEAD, OK?
I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW I FEEL.
I...
LET'S START NOW.
J! SIMONE.
LET ME HOLLER AT YOU.
SPENCE, YO, UH,
YOUR MOM ALMOST HAD ME
CHOKED UP THERE. I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
SHE'S GOOD AT THAT. LISTEN...
WE GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
OOH! OK, WHAT'S UP?
BOY, THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS RIGHT NOW.
OK, SO, Y'ALL--WHOA.
SO, ARE YOU GUYS, LIKE, BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND NOW?
WE'RE NOT PUTTING A LABEL ON IT.
YES. NO, HE'S MY BOYFRIEND,
AND I AM GONNA KISS HIM NOW.
-OH! -AH, YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR ME TO WALK AWAY?
NO. MM! HERE HE IS.
GROSS. OH, GET OVER IT. HEH!
WELL, I GOTTA BOUNCE.
I HAVE A PLAYDATE WITH BABY SHAY, BUT CONGRATS ON
ALL OF THIS. THANKS.
APPRECIATE IT. CONGRATS.
APPRECIATE YOU. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
CAREFUL.
THERE. YOU SEE?
IT'S NOT A SECRET ANYMORE.
I MEAN, IT KINDA IS.
YOUR PARENTS STILL DON'T KNOW.
OK. IT'S A START.
-IT'S A START. -IT'S A START.
IT'S A START. LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
COME IN.
-HEY. -HOW ARE THOSE RIBS FEELING?
STILL A LITTLE SORE.
MY DAD TOOK ME TO GET X-RAYS--NEGATIVE,
SO I'M GOOD TO GO FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
PUT A SCARE IN ME.
WE NEED YOUR LEADERSHIP OUT ON THAT FIELD.
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY, ADAMS.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
COASTAL CALIFORNIA'S GOT THEMSELVES A REAL WINNER.
THANK YOU, COACH.
UH, HEY, I--I WAS WONDERING IF WE SHOULD
SWITCH UP OUR PLAYBOOK FOR THE GAME,
YOU KNOW, MAYBE COME UP WITH SOME NEW VARIATIONS?
-WHY? -UH, WELL, THERE'S A LOT
OF GAME FILM OUT THERE ON US.
COULDN'T HURT. WE COULD CATCH
CRENSHAW OFF GUARD.
OR YOU COULD TELL ME THE REAL REASON.
UM...
JORDAN TOLD ME SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T UNHEAR.
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A SNITCH, BUT
HE'S BEEN TRAINING WITH SPENCER FOR WEEKS.
-BEFORE HE WAS CLEARED? -YEAH,
YEAH, AND THEY WERE USING ALL OF OUR OFFENSIVE PLAYS,
SO IT'S POSSIBLE THAT CRENSHAW KNOWS EVERYTHING
WE'RE GONNA DO IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
YOU THINK SPENCER JAMES WOULD DO THAT?
JUST LIKE I CAN'T UNHEAR WHAT JORDAN TOLD ME,
SPENCER CAN'T UNLEARN OUR PLAYS.
HE'S GONNA KNOW WHAT'S COMING, WHETHER HE WANTS TO OR NOT.
HMM. I GUESS YOU WERE RIGHT.
I WILL DESIGN SOME NEW PLAY VARIATIONS.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT'LL BE FINE.
CAN I HELP?
HEY. HEY.
HOPE I DIDN'T MISS TOO MUCH. MM.
GRACE GAVE AN INSPIRING SPEECH.
-RIGHT? -SHE'S PROUD OF HER SON.
I'M PROUD OF HIM, TOO.
YEAH. IT'S A REALLY BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT
TO BE INVITED TO THAT GAME.
SPENCER EARNED IT.
I ALWAYS KNEW HE WOULD.
YEAH.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS? MAYBE IF,
I DON'T KNOW, I HADN'T GOTTEN INJURED
AND WAS ABLE TO PLAY A FULL SEASON,
MAYBE I'D HAVE GOTTEN AN INVITE.
NO. DON'T GO BLAMING THAT INJURY.
THEY GOT TO SEE PLENTY OF YOU THIS YEAR.
THANKS A LOT, DAD.
WHICH IS WHY THEY SENT YOU THIS.
THEY SENT IT TO ME AT BEVERLY,
THEN IT GOT FORWARDED TO CRENSHAW,
WHICH IS WHY I GOT IT LATE.
-WHAT IS IT? -OPEN IT UP AND SEE.
WAIT. IS THIS FOR REAL?
YEAH, IT'S FOR REAL.
I--I MADE THE GAME?
DAD, I'M A RESERVE, BUT I--I'M AN ALL-AMERICAN?
YOU EARNED IT. YOU.
HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL? I MEAN,
I'M NOT EVEN STARTING THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
I PROBABLY WON'T EVEN PLAY.
LOOK, THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL BE
REMEMBERED FOR THIS SEASON.
THIS IS THE TICKET TO YOUR FUTURE IN FOOTBALL.
YOU KNOW, I STILL WANTED TO BEAT YOU
TO WIN THAT CHAMPIONSHIP. -HA HA HA!
I WANTED TO BEAT YOU, TOO. LOOK AT ME.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, SON.
ALL-AMERICAN. -THANK YOU.
HA HA HA HA!
IS THAT HIGH SCHOOL ALL-AMERICAN SPENCER JAMES?
AND IS HE EATING HIS FAVORITE FOOD?
-YOU SAW THAT INTERVIEW? -MAN, MAC AND CHEESE IS MY FAVORITE FOOD.
THEY PUT ME ON THE SPOT, ALL RIGHT?
MAC AND CHEESE IS THE FIRST FOOD THAT CAME TO MIND.
LOOK, SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, YOU DID IT, MAN.
YOU'VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THIS SINCE YOU WAS WHAT, THIS BIG?
WITH YOU RIGHT THERE BY MY SIDE.
-NO, I WAS UP HERE, THOUGH.
YO, I GOTTA ROLL. I JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU LUCK
IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. YOU GONNA LIGHT IT UP.
JUST LIKE YOU GONNA LIGHT UP VEGAS.
LOOK AT US. YOU'RE BLOWING UP.
-AND YOU ALL-AMERICAN.
WE MADE IT, SPENCE. ME AND YOU.
♪ I CAN SEE IT ♪
GO GET 'EM.
♪ I CAN SEE IT ♪
I THINK IT'S A SOLID IDEA, ADAMS,
BUT I THINK IT'S LESS ABOUT THE PLAY
AND MORE ABOUT THE FORMATION.
YEAH, BUT SPENCER'S QUICK.
HE'LL SEE THE PLAY DEVELOPING
AND RECOGNIZE IT.
WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR THE CURL ROUTE?
UM...IN AND OUT, STOP AND GO?
SIDELINE?
ONE ON ONE AND THEY'RE TOAST.
SMART, BUT WE STILL GOTTA OPEN UP
THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.
THIRD DOWN ROUTE COULD CIRCLE IN.
IT'S REALLY BASIC, BUT IT COULD WORK.
TIMING'S GOTTA BE PERFECT ON IT
OR IT'S A PICK 6 EVERY TIME.
YOU DON'T THINK J.J. CAN DO IT?
TIMING'S NOT HIS STRENGTH.
JORDAN CAN MAKE THAT PASS.
-NEXT PLAY. -YEAH.
DO YOU REMEMBER OUR VERY FIRST CONVERSATION?
YEAH, LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.
YEAH, I ASKED YOU TO COME PLAY FOR ME.
-YEAH, YOU WASN'T VERY CONVINCING. -I--
I GOT YOU TO PLAY FOR ME.
YEAH, WITH THE HELP OF MY MOMS.
-THAT'S COLD.
COACH, DON'T LOOK NOW,
BUT DeSEAN JACKSON JUST WALKED IN.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. HE WALKIN' OVER HERE.
YEAH, HE'S HERE TO CONGRATULATE YOU.
-WAIT. HE KNOWS WHO I AM? -MM-HMM.
THERE HE GO. WHAT'S UP, BRO?
GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN. SPENCER JAMES, DeSEAN.
DeSEAN, SPENCER JAMES. MAN, CRENSHAW LEGEND. IT'S AN HONOR, HOMIE.
HEY, MAN, YOU BEEN REPPIN' THE NEIGHBORHOOD, MAN.
YOU MAKIN' US PROUD, BRO. KEEP DOING YOUR THING.
MAN, I'M JUST TRYING TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.
THAT ALL-AMERICAN GAME? I PLAYED IN IT.
ENJOY IT, BUT JUST KNOW IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF IT.
YOU'VE GOTTA WORK HARD, AND NO DAYS OFF.
-YES, SIR. -I'M GONNA GO ON AND CHECK OUT THIS MAC AND CHEESE.
HA HA HA! ALL RIGHT. DO THAT. DO THAT.
-THANKS FOR COMING THROUGH, MAN. -ALL RIGHT, MAN.
-ALL RIGHT. -GOOD TO SEE Y'ALL. TAKE CARE.
ABSOLUTELY. YO, YOU HOOKED THAT UP FOR ME?
MAN, HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR GAME
FOR A MINUTE. I JUST TOLD HIM WE WERE
CELEBRATING YOU TODAY, AND HE PULLED UP.
LOOK, YOU HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN.
LOOK AT ALL YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED.
YEAH. UM, HEY, I HEARD ABOUT JORDAN.
-WE GONNA BE PLAYING ON THE SAME TEAM AGAIN.
YEAH, MAN.
MY TWO ALL-AMERICANS.
-HEH! -SO PROUD OF THAT KID.
I MEAN, AFTER HE TOOK THAT SECOND HIT,
HE ALMOST--HMM.
HE COULD'VE LOST EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I WISH YOU WERE STILL AT BEVERLY.
YOU COULD LOOK AFTER HIM.
I GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I'VE BEEN TRAINING JORDAN FOR WEEKS.
WELL, WAIT. HE--
HE HASN'T BEEN CLEARED FOR WEEKS, SO-- -NO, BUT...
LOOK...JORDAN WAS DESPERATE TO COME BACK AND--
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU...NO. YOU...
YOU RISKED HIS FUTURE?
SPENCER, YOU--YOU RISKED HIS LIFE?
HE WAS GONNA DO IT WITH OR WITHOUT ME.
LOOK, I--LOOK, LOOK, THIS WAY, I JUST FIGURED
I COULD KEEP AN EYE ON HIM, YOU KNOW?
LOOK--LOOK AFTER HIM. -HOW COULD YOU BE SO RECKLESS?
I'M SORRY.
YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON
I THOUGHT WOULD BETRAY ME LIKE THIS.
WELL, I--I GUESS WE SHOULD JUST RIP
THE FINAL BAND-AID OFF, RIGHT?
UM...DAD, WE HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.
YOU FINALLY DID LET ME DOWN.
HEY, DAD.
YO, LISTEN TO THIS.
YESTERDAY, I WAS MAKING CEREAL,
AND WHEN I SAT DOWN, I REALIZED I PICKED UP
A FORK INSTEAD OF A SPOON.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA...
HOW BIG A RISK YOU TOOK?
UH...DAD, IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS USING A KNIFE.
YOU WERE TRAINING WITH SPENCER
BEFORE THE DOCTOR GAVE YOU CLEARANCE.
THAT EXPLAINS WHY I GOT 4 MISSED
CALLS FROM SPENCE.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
IT WASN'T FULL CONTACT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER!
YOUR INJURY WAS SO SEVERE,
YOUR MOTHER AND I ALMOST
TOOK YOU OUT OF SCHOOL.
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?
-EXCUSE ME? -WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?
COME ON, DAD.
TELL ME HOW THIS IS ANY DIFFERENT
FROM YOU GAMING THE SYSTEM
TO GET SPENCER TO COME PLAY FOR BEVERLY?
HUH? OR YOU HELPING ME OUT
WITH MY DRUG TEST, HUH?
WE'RE BAKER MEN, RIGHT?
WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO TO WIN.
I LEARNED THAT FROM YOU.
-HEY. -HEY.
WOW. NICE SETUP.
THANKS. UM, THANK YOU FOR COMING.
I'M GLAD THAT YOU CALLED. WE...
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF YOU.
WHO'S "WE"?
ME AND SPENCER.
WE JUST...
WANTED YOU TO HEAR FROM US.
THAT YOU TWO ARE A "WE" NOW.
YEAH.
UH, LEAST YOU CAN STOP PRETENDING
IT'S JUST A FRIENDSHIP.
-LAYLA-- -YOU KNOW, UM,
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
I ASKED YOU HERE TO TALK ABOUT CARRIE.
I CALLED HER PARENTS.
-AND? -AND SHE NEEDS
TO GO HOME TO THEM.
SHE'S NOT WELL, AND WHEN I
SUGGESTED THAT TO HER,
SHE KIND OF FREAKED.
WHAT, YOU MEAN NOT WELL, LIKE UNSTABLE?
LAYLA, YOU NEED TO FALL, LIKE,
WAY BACK FROM THIS.
LIV, WE BOTH KNOW
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE AN ILLNESS.
SHE WAS THERE FOR ME.
I CAN'T JUST ABANDON HER.
OK. WELL, THEN, JUST--
I MEAN, TALK TO HER AS A FRIEND.
I MEAN, YOU'RE PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE THAT SHE HAS.
AND IF, YOU KNOW, SHE SEES
THAT YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT HER,
THEN MAYBE SHE'LL LISTEN TO YOU
AND JUST GET THE HELP THAT SHE NEEDS.
I DON'T KNOW, JUST BE CAREFUL.
YEAH, HER MOM SAID THE SAME THING.
SO WHAT YOU THINK? HEY, IT'S DOPE.
YOU DON'T THINK THE FONT IS TOO BIG?
I MEAN, IF ANYTHING, IT'S TOO SMALL.
WHY ARE YOU NITPICKING OVER T-SHIRT FONTS, ANYWAY?
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST WANT
EVERYTHING TO BE RIGHT.
IT WILL BE. AND YOU'LL BE GREAT.
I'LL BE ALONE.
IT'S JUST A FEW WEEKS.
MAYBE YOU CAN COME.
I ALREADY SAID I WAS GONNA POP BY
FOR A WEEKEND.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU DOING YOUR THING UP THERE.
NO, I MEAN...
COME ON THE WHOLE TOUR
AND JOIN ME ONSTAGE.
WE COULD LAUNCH FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING.
SERIOUSLY?
MAN, YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
YEAH, I'M SURE, GIRL.
LONG AS YOU WEAR ONE OF THESE COOP SHIRTS.
OK, I AIN'T GONNA LIE. THE FONT--
THE FONT'S A LITTLE BIG.
JUST A LITTLE BIG. BUT, UM...
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST--I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE THIS MOMENT AWAY FROM YOU, COOP.
I WANT THIS TO BE OUR MOMENT.
OK.

HEY. SIMONE'S GONNA BE HERE ANY MINUTE,
SO I'LL SEE YOU AT THE GAME,
AND WE WILL BE CHEERING YOU ON.
WELL, SIMONE WILL BE CHEERING FOR JORDAN.
ALL RIGHT, COOL.
YOU OK?
YOU SHOULD SEE THE WAY YOUR POPS
IS LOOKIN' AT ME,
THE DISAPPOINTMENT IN HIS EYES.
I LET HIM DOWN, LIV.
HE'LL GET OVER IT, OK?
I HAVE LET HIM DOWN A LOT,
AND HE STILL LOVES ME.
IT'S DIFFERENT. I LOST HIS TRUST,
AND AFTER EVERYTHING HE DONE FOR ME,
I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL GET THAT BACK.
JUST GIVE HIM SOME TIME.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL SEE YOU AT THE GAME.
OH, UM, ONE MORE THING.
UM, I SAW LAYLA, SO SHE KNOWS ABOUT US.
WHAT'D SHE SAY? I MEAN, SHE'S GOT
HER OWN DRAMA GOING ON WITH THAT CARRIE GIRL
BUT SHE--I DON'T KNOW.
SHE SAYS SHE'S GOT IT UNDER CONTROL.
YOU THINK SHE DOES? SPENCER, BUS!
I GOTTA GO. GOOD LUCK.
NOW!
YES, SIR.
DRE...
IT'S TIME. YOU READY?
HEY.
DID YOU KNOW THAT TAHOE HAS
OVER 100 SKI TRAILS?
-WOW. -YOU SKI, RIGHT?
YEAH.
THIS VACAY IS GOING TO BE BONKERS!
SO I WAS THINKING.
JUST HEAR ME OUT. IT'S A SUGGESTION.
UM, WHAT IF BEFORE TAHOE,
YOU GO HOME FOR A LITTLE WHILE?
YOU KNOW, JUST SO YOUR PARENTS
STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOU.
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ME.
I THINK THEY DO.
I COULD HEAR IT IN THEIR VOICES.
THEY MISS YOU.
SO YOU JUST WANNA GET RID OF ME?
NO! I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO TAHOE.
BUT IF YOU GO HOME AND CALM YOUR PARENTS' NERVES,
I WILL FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE TRIP.
THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, WE CAN BOTH
RELAX AND HAVE FUN ON THE SKI SLOPES.
WILL YOU COME WITH ME, AT LEAST?
TO MY PARENTS' HOUSE?
JUST TO DROP ME OFF?
YEAH. OF COURSE. I'LL GO.
IT'S OK.

THOSE THE T-SHIRTS?
YEAH.
WHY YOU AIN'T GOT ONE ON?
YOU THE MERCH GUY. REPRESENT.
I'LL PUT ONE ON WHEN WE GET TO VEGAS.
ALL RIGHT. HEY, DON'T BE DOING
NONE OF THAT SNORING, EITHER,
'CAUSE I GOTTA GET SOME SLEEP.
I'M ACTUALLY GONNA DRIVE THERE MYSELF.
-WHY? -I GET SICK ON THEM BIG BUSES.
MAN, WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN ON A BIG BUS?
-METRO. -THIS AIN'T NO METRO.
THIS IS PLUSH.
MY CAR'S ALREADY PACKED AND READY.
WHATEVER. CAN I AT LEAST GET
A T-SHIRT FOR PATIENCE?
-I GOT AN EXTRA ONE IN MY CAR. -WHY NOT JUST GIVE ME ONE
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BOX? -THEY ALL SEALED UP ALREADY.
BUT I GOT YOU, COOP. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING AT?
A BUNCH OF IDIOTS.
YOU MAY HAVE JUST THROWN AWAY
A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP,
A CHANCE AT IMMORTALITY.
YOU WORKED SO HARD.
Y'ALL WORKED SO HARD. FOR WHAT?!
JUST TO THROW IT AWAY 20 MINUTES BEFORE
THE BIGGEST GAME OF YOUR LIVES!
THE REFS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE MAINTENANCE CREW THAT THERE WAS A FIGHT.
SO IT'S BEEN REPORTED,
AND THE GAME WILL PROBABLY BE CANCELED.
CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU ALL LOST.
I WONDER WHAT THE REFS ARE GONNA DO.
I THINK THEY'RE GONNA CANCEL THE GAME.
AH. THAT'S BULL.
IT WAS A HEATED ARGUMENT.
HEATED ARGUMENT?
HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR TEAM'S FACES?
MY TEAM LOOKS LIKE IT SURVIVED A BUS CRASH
AND THEY WON THE FIGHT.
YEAH, WELL, FIRST OFF,
WE WON THE FIGHT.
AND NEXT, MOST OF THE PLAYERS
WERE, LIKE, FIGHTING THEIR OWN TEAMMATES.
LOOK, THEY ALL BROKE THE RULES. BOTH TEAMS.
WE CAN'T CONDONE FIGHTING.
I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT HOW THINGS WENT DOWN,
BUT...LIKE, BETWEEN YOU AND ME,
DON'T YOU THINK THESE BOYS SHOULD SETTLE THIS
OUT ON THE FIELD? -IT'S NOT UP TO ME.
WELL, IT'S ABOUT TO BE.
NOBODY ELSE KNOWS WHAT WENT DOWN EXCEPT US,
AND THE REFS ONLY HEARD ABOUT IT 'CAUSE
SOMEBODY SAID THEY SAW ONE OF OUR GUYS
AND HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS BEAT DOWN, SO...
I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT WAS LIKE AN EXAGGERATED RUMOR.
I AM NOT GONNA LIE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
IF THE GAME GETS CANCELED, IT GETS CANCELED.
RULES ARE RULES. THESE KIDS NEED TO LEARN A LESSON.
A LESSON?
BY GIVING THESE KIDS SOMETHING THEY'RE GONNA
REGRET FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES?
THIS ISN'T DETENTION.
THIS GAME IS GONNA BE SOMETHING THEY'RE GONNA TELL
THEIR GRANDKIDS, LIKE, WIN OR LOSE.
WHEN I WAS A FRESHMAN AT CRENSHAW,
THERE WAS THIS KID ON THE TEAM
WHO ALWAYS GOT INTO FIGHTS, ALWAYS.
ALMOST GOT THROWN OFF THE TEAM, BUT, UH,
THE COACH SAID HE WANTED TO GIVE HIM
AN OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER HIMSELF.
WITHOUT FOOTBALL, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE
WHAT KIND OF PATH THAT KID WOULD'VE GONE DOWN, BUT...
FOOTBALL SAVED HIS LIFE.
COACHES?
RECEIVED A DISTURBING REPORT
OF A SIGNIFICANT FIGHT BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS.
I UNDERSTAND YOU WITNESSED IT.
WANT TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?
SURE. UH, I KNOW THERE WAS SOME TRASH TALK.
THERE WAS SOME SHOVING, WHICH,
OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T CONDONE, BUT I THINK
THE REST OF IT WAS KIND OF EXAGGERATED.
IS THAT ALL IT WAS?
I'VE SEEN MORE HEATED FIGHTS
IN A DEBATE CLUB. -HA HA!
LET'S PLAY BALL.
OK. SEE YOU ON THE FIELD.
ALL RIGHT.
YEAH.
FOOTBALL SAVED MY LIFE, TOO.
I'LL, UH, SAVE THAT STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY.
BUT, YEAH, I'M GLAD THAT
YOU DIDN'T LOSE FOOTBALL AFTER ALL THOSE FIGHTS.
GOOD LUCK. YUP. YOU, TOO.
READY TO GO?
ALMOST.
READY.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE BELIEVE THIS BUS IS CARRYING
A LARGE SHIPMENT OF NARCOTICS.
AT THIS TIME, WE NEED EVERYONE TO EXIT THE BUS
WHILE WE CONDUCT OUR SEARCH.
ANDRE.
OBVIOUSLY, I AM NOT HAPPY
ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED,
BUT IF WE COULD OVERCOME WHAT IS
DIVIDING US RIGHT NOW,
WE CAN CREATE A SPECIAL MEMORY.
YOU ARE GOING TO TELL YOUR GRANDKIDS ABOUT THIS GAME,
SO LET'S MAKE IT A GOOD STORY!
LET'S GO, LET'S GO!
BAKER.
-COACH? -J.J. IS GONNA START THE GAME,
BUT BE READY; YOU TWO ARE GONNA SPLIT THE SNAPS EQUALLY.
-ARE--ARE YOU SERIOUS? -MM-HMM.
-COACH, THANK YOU. -WELL, THANK ASHER.
HE DESIGNED SOME GREAT PLAY VARIATIONS
JUST FOR YOU--SAME PLAYS THAT YOU KNOW,
JUST REVERSED, SOME MISDIRECTION, SIMPLE STUFF.
YOUR TIMING BETTER BE ON TONIGHT.
YOU BET IT WILL.
ASH. LOOK, MAN, UH...
THANKS FOR ALWAYS HAVING MY BACK.
I ALWAYS WILL.
GO WARM UP. RIGHT.
I'LL SEE YOU OUT THERE YES, SIR.
ASHER.
DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
YOU CAN'T PLAY IN THE GAME, SON.
HEH! WHAT?
NO, YOU HEARD THE DOCTOR. THERE'S NO FRACTURE.
MY RIBS ARE JUST A LITTLE SORE. I'M PLAYING.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
MY DAD'S TELLING ME
I CAN'T PLAY IN THE GAME.
DAD, TELL HER WHAT THE DOCTOR TOLD US.
MY RIBS ARE FINE.
IT'S NOT YOUR RIBS, ASHER.
IT'S YOUR HEART. THE CHEST X-RAY
SHOWED A PROBABLE CONDITION.
YOU HAVE CARDIOMYOPATHY.
IT'S A RARE HEART CONDITION.
IT KILLS ME TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT...
YOU CAN'T PLAY FOOTBALL ANYMORE.
NO, DAD. COASTAL CALIFORNIA.
MY FULL RIDE. THEY--THEY WANT ME!
THEY SAID THEY-- THEY WANTED ME. AND--
I--I'M SO SORRY, SON.
CARRIE, TO THE WORLD THAT FAILED ME,
I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE.
I'M FREE NOW.
NO MORE FLEETING MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS.
I FOUND THE PERMANENT ANSWER.
I GET TO LEAVE YOU. FOREVER.
AND I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE.
LAYLA WILL BE BY MY SIDE.
WE HAVE EACH OTHER.
COME ON, PICK UP. ANSWER THE PHONE, LAYLA.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I LEFT MY PHONE AT HOME.
I WAS SURE I PUT IT IN MY PURSE. -YOU DON'T NEED YOUR PHONE.
IT'S GOOD TO UNPLUG ONCE IN A WHILE.
BESIDES, WE HAVE EACH OTHER.
YEAH!
UH-HUH!

WHAT'S UP, MO?
SURPRISED TO SEE ME?
I SHOULD BE IN JAIL, RIGHT?
YOU REALLY TRUSTED YOUR WHOLE
"PLANTING DRUGS ON MY TOUR BUS"
WITH ANDRE?
I BEEN KNOWING THAT DUDE A LONG TIME,
AND HE GOT THE WORST POKER FACE IN HISTORY.
I WOULDN'T HAVE GOT HIM TO TELL. HE AIN'T ONE TO BE DOING THAT.
OH, AND BY THE WAY, I
UNLOADED ALL THEM DRUGS
BEFORE WE EVEN LEFT TOWN.
SO...YOU LOST, MO.
YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
YOU'RE GONNA SHOOT ME NOW? RIGHT HERE?
LOOK, I--I KNOW YOU UPSET ABOUT TYRONE.
DON'T SAY MY BROTHER'S NAME.
YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME.
YOU TOOK HIM FROM OUR FAMILY.
AND THIS GONNA BRING HIM BACK?
WHEN YOU'VE DONE SO MUCH GOOD IN THIS COMMUNITY,
WHY THROW ALL THAT AWAY FOR THIS?
THAT AIN'T YOU NO MORE. WE BOTH KNOW THAT.
THIS IS THE HURT AND THE PAIN TALKING.
I GET IT. BUT THIS NEED FOR REVENGE
AIN'T GONNA DO NOTHING BUT EAT YOU UP INSIDE
AND DESTROY YOUR LIFE.
I HAD TO LEARN THAT THE HARD WAY,
BY AVENGING SHAWN.
I WISH I WOULD'VE LET THAT GO.
DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME.
WE GOOD NOW?
PREACH!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, COOP.
COOP, NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO.
GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD.
