All American (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 15 - Stakes Is High - full transcript

All right, y'all.
Round up.

Round up
right quick.

Ok. I'm really
proud of y'all.

If y'all play
this weekend

the way you've
been practicing,

I have no doubt
we're gonna win

this jamboree and bring home
another championship.

That's right.
Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.
All right.

Unfortunately, you'll
have to do that without me.

Uh, yeah, without me,
too, dad, but--



No. I'm actually
serious, son.

I have been
suspended.

It's temporary, but
until things get resolved,

you're gonna be in
really good hands

here with
coach davis.

What happened?

There's been
a personal matter

between me and
the administration,

but I need you
to stay focused,

so get your behinds
out there on that field.

It's your last practice.
Make it count.

Come on. Heads up.

Yo, last time we played
without coach baker,

we got our asses
handed to us.



Y'all might have to
play without me, too.

He still didn't clear me
since my arm went out.

You heard the man.
Let's go.

You should be out
on the field.

No. You should.

Coach, liv told me
what you did.

I can't let you
take the blame.

I'm gonna tell
principal london

the steroids
were mine.

No, you will not.
Look.

I made a decision, and I
expect you to respect it.

You don't deserve to have
your future ruined by this.

And you do?

I'll just get
a slap on the wrist.

I'll be back
before you know it.

I'm so sorry, coach.
I never meant for--

I just wanted
to be better.

I know. I want
that for you, too,

to be better by
getting your mind

and your body
right again.

I'm trying, sir.

It took me almost
losing olivia to realize

how much pressure y'all
put yourselves under,

and I know recovery
is hard work,

so just promise me
you'll keep it up.

Make this suspension
worth it.

Yes, sir.

Coach wilson,
hey.

your mom said
you'd be here.

How's the shoulder?
Good.

Shoulder's good,
great, actually.

You excited for
the jamboree?

Oh, yeah. What are
you doing here coach?

No disrespect,
I just thought

my scholarship
was off the table.

Nothing's set
in stone, spencer.

I'm here off the record
because I like you,

and I still like you
for our program.

But coach kelly
doesn't agree.

I wouldn't say that.

He does have
some concerns,

so he's eyeing
a few other recruits.

I convinced him
to hold off for now,

but I need to know
you're back on track.

And what do I got
to do to prove it?

Go out there this
weekend and show me

the old spencer james
is back.

Can you do that
for me?

No doubt.

After you see me ball,
there won't be no question,

not from you, coach kelly,
or anybody else.

I promise you that.

It's all
I needed to hear.

All right.

If I can't play
this weekend,

it's not gonna matter if
i'm in game shape or not.

All the downward dog's
gonna be for nothing.

oh,
Not for nothing.

I mean, yoga's
good for you, anyway.

It helps with strength,
flexibility,

balance,
even stress.

And the goats?

Well, they help
your heart by being cute.

hmm.

The goats
weren't my idea.

I thought "goat" stood for
"greatest of all time."

Sometimes it's
just goat, man.

I'm sorry, ok?
This week sucks.

Goats are peeing
everywhere,

coach is suspended,
spence might not play,

and the venue for
the jamboree party

fell through.
Wait.

What happened
to the venue?

Someone forget to send
the deposit on time.

It's not
important who.

I even had the
perfect theme--

Pajama jammy
jamboree.

Well, can't
let that go to waste.

Why don't we have
the party at my house?

Maybe that's not
the best idea.

Yeah. It ain't
just for beverly.

It's for all the teams
in the jamboree.

Well, it's a good thing
I have a big house, then.

Parties weren't
my problem.

It was the party crasher
in my head,

and she's been
quiet lately.

It'll be fine,
I promise.

Where is jordan?

Why isn't he suffering
through this?

He stayed back to
talk to his dad.

Probably about
the suspension.

You know anything
about it?

No. I haven't
heard anything.

What?

You know I like to save
my perfect piece

for my last bite.

Hey, look.
I'ma just say it.

I can't do this
no more.

It's too hard trying
to be your damn friend.

You ditched a gun for me.
We love each other.

I don't understand why
we're not together.

I Miss you, babe.

I Miss you, too, but we
already talked about this.

I'm leaving soon
for j.p.'s summer tour,

and, you know, things
weren't exactly smooth

between us last time
he was involved.

No. It ain't going down
like that again,

all right, no more
jealous coop.

I'm gonna be
your biggest fan.

You're gonna be calling me
your coopy groupie.

Ha ha! Yeah. I'm never
calling you that.

Listen, baby.

Wouldn't nothing
make me happier

than seeing you
blow up.

Maybe one thing--

Seeing you blow up
with this.

You wrote
a song for me?

I ain't never
letting music

come in between
us again, ok?

It's only gonna
make us closer.

God, I don't know
what to say.

I do because I wasn't
gonna give it to you

until you said you'd
be my girl again,

but you're taking way
too long to answer.

hmm.

Your last
perfect piece?

My last
perfect piece.

Oh, I guess I got
my answer, then.

Ha ha!

Wow, up culver
stairs again?

Don't overdo it,
youngblood.

Them steps ain't
going nowhere,

except up and down,
I guess.

Ha ha ha!
That's funny.

How you making jokes
when your whole career's

up in the air, man?

Oh, ain't nothing
up in the air,

and that's all I'm gonna
say about the suspension.

All right. What about
my suspension?

When you gonna
clear me to play?

Look. I rehabbed
the way you told me to.

My shoulder feels great.
I'm ready to suit up.

I don't think so.

Besides, it's not
my call, anyway.

Maybe technically,

but you can talk
to coach davis.

He'd listen to you.

It's too risky.
Just heal up.

Come back strong
next season.

I ain't got that kind
of time, coach. Look.

Ucla's giving me one
more shot, all right?

I'm gonna lose it
if I don't play.

Look. If ucla
really wants you,

then they'll wait,
but they definitely

won't want you if you
reinjure yourself

trying to come back
too soon.

We've had
this discussion.

That was before
coach wilson

came back around,
all right?

I told him I'm playing
this weekend.

Shouldn't have
done that.

Come on, coach.

My national ranking
took a huge hit.

You know that.

If I don't play, ain't nobody
checking for me next season.

I'm sorry, spencer.
I can't do it.

You wanted me
to come to beverly

so I could have a shot
at somewhere like ucla,

and now I got it,
you the only one

standing in my way.

hey.
Oh. Uh, hey.

So listen. Uh--

Hey, so I texted you
a few times

but didn't hear
anything back,

not even a
"new phone. Who this?"

how are you?

Everything ok
with dane?

How's the baby,
kicking a lot?

The baby, I mean,
simone, not dane.

Jordan, everything's
fine, ok?

Thanks, but
I got to go.

Well, that
was awkward.

Yeah. I don't
get women.

Well, that's because
you only date girls, so--

Mm. Ever since
she moved out,

she--I don't know--
Has gone

out of her way
to avoid me.

I'd leave it alone
if I were you.

Little Miss "all up in
everyone's business,"

are you sure
about that?

Which is why I know
it'll backfire.

If she wanted you
to know something,

she would tell you.
ok.

Yeah, but why is everyone
keeping things from me?

Dad won't tell me anything
about his suspension.

Has he said
anything to you?

Look. Don't worry
about simone, ok?

I'm sure it's
nothing personal.

Just give her some space
and stop following her.

I mean, you don't
want to seem crazy.

Well, I didn't know dane's
parents lived in a hotel.

What, are you
stalking me now?

I was just worried
about you.

Did you actually
reach out to dane,

or was that just
another lie?

Yes, jordan.

I reached out to him,
and nothing's changed.

He said the baby isn't his,
and he won't help me.

Ok, so why
did you move out?

Because I didn't want to
give you the wrong idea.

Simone, you weren't
giving me any ideas.

I was just trying
to be your friend.

We were never really
friends, jordan.

Look. I'm not your
problem anymore,

so just go live
your life, please.

hey.
hi.

Thank you
for coming.

I know I've put you
through a lot lately.

Yeah? Well, everyone
makes mistakes.

It's what we do after
that matters.

I really hope
that's true

because I want
to make things right.

I had this made
to replace the one

that got shattered the
night spencer got shot.

I know how important
it was to you.

Thank you.

You didn't
have to do that.

No. I did.
I should've been there.

I'm sorry about
your dad, too.

I wanted to come clean.
He wouldn't let me, so--

I'm not mad at you.

I get why you and my dad
did what you did.

I'm more upset
with myself

because if I hadn't told
my dad about the steroids,

he wouldn't even be
in this situation.

None of this
is your fault, liv.

Then why does it
feel that way?

Because you're
a good person.

I'm lying to spencer.
I'm lying to jordan.

Keeping everything inside
just makes me feel

like I'm gonna
explode.

I don't want you
to lie for me.

Liv, I will tell them.
I'll tell them--

Why does this keep
happening to us?

We've only been
dating a few months.

This is supposed to be
our honeymoon phase.

I think we
need a break.

I need to be
with my family,

and you should focus
on you and your future,

get back to the guy you
were before steroids.

Hey, those go out
by the stage.

You got it.

Hey, dad.
"hey, dad"?

You want to tell me
why there are

so many trucks
in my driveway

and so many people
in my house?

Well, it's for
the party tonight.

Um, sorry.
I forgot to tell you.

You mean, you
forgot to ask me.

Yeah. Sorry.

I'm not used to having
to ask for permission.

You having parties
every time I left town?

Well, not every time.
ok.

This father-daughter
dynamic, it's new.

We obviously need
to work on it,

set some boundaries.
Wait.

Does this mean I
can't have the party?

Oh, god...

Ok. You can
have the party,

but I'm gonna stick
around to supervise.

Great.
That'll be fun.

I'm not gonna have no fun
at this party, man.

I'm not even playing
in the jamboree.

I'm not, either,
but I ain't missing

pretty chicks in pjs.

What are you
talking about?

Oh, the news hasn't
made it to beverly yet.

South crenshaw
dropped out.

Of the jamboree?

That don't make no sense.
Why would y'all do that?

Team's been falling apart
for a while now, spence.

We've lost two head coaches
in less than 6 months.

Almost everybody's quit
to play other sports.

Cam's even looking
to transfer

to play
for westlake.

Damn. I mean, look.
It's only the jamboree.

Y'all'll be good
by next season.

I mean, they better.
I came here to play ball.

If they don't
pull it together,

yeah, our program
goes to hell,

taking my ucla
commitment with it.

Man, I hope not.

Be nice if at least
one of us was a bruin.

Man, why you
giving up so easy?

Just go to the top
and get

the athletic director
to clear you.

It wouldn't feel
right going over

coach baker's head
like that, man.

Oh, if it was me, nothing
would stand in my way.

Besides, he ain't even
your coach no more.

You ain't lost
your touch.

I'm glad your pops
didn't shut it down.

Yeah? Well, we
keatings love a good party.

Hey, thanks for coming.

I know it can't be easy to
come to the jammy jamboree

when you can't play
in the actual jamboree.

Yeah. Well, I seen
the bat signal

above your house.

Does that mean
you're here for me?

I'm always here
for you. You good?

Yeah. I'm good.

Ha! It's not
a cry for help.

It's just a party,
ah.

no bat signal
necessary.

The westlake wildcats,
how annoying are they?

Oh, yeah. Well, they
might be annoying,

but they have
something we don't.

cool
Smoking jackets?

What? No. Unity,
all right?

They even came as a team.
They're all dressed the same.

Now look at us--
No coach, no spencer.

Ash doesn't even
bother showing up.

We need to get it
together,

or there's no way
we're in the jamboree.

Yeah. It's gonna be
tough without your dad.

Did he tell you why
he was suspended?

No. You hear anything?

What, j.j.?

I heard it had something
to do with drugs.

uh!

Hey, you dane kohler?

I guess my reputation
precedes me.

Still, no autographs till
after jamboree, ok, buddy?

So you know
simone hicks, then.

Why you asking?

You want a yelp
review or something?

3 stars during,
one after.

Dude, she's pregnant
with your kid.

You gonna man up and
do something about it?

I'll tell you
what I told her--

Kid's not mine.

Don't worry.

I'm sure she'll find
another guy to pin it on.

Looks like beverly's
full of rich idiots.

You need to handle
your business.

And you need
to mind yours.

Hey, do you guys
think you look tough?

You're in pajamas.

Ha ha ha!
Come on,

and the last thing
dad needs right now

is you getting
suspended, too.

I wouldn't know, ok?

He won't tell me
what he needs.

Ah, that's nice.

Hey, it's kid 'n play
in the house.

ooh.
Hoo hoo!

I don't even know
which one I am.

Well, kid's known
for the high-top fade.

Well, what's
play known for?

Standing
next to kid.

Aw, yeah.
My gosh.

All right, kid 'n play.
Show us what you got.

You ready, kid?

I got you, play.

All right.
Let's get it.

Let's go. Ha ha ha!

Aw, man.

Good to see you got
something from the old man.

You really know how
to produce a show.

You mean
throw a party?

Hey, call it
what you want.

You may have
a future in it.

They act like
she's a celebrity.

She is.

Coop, you put on
quite a show.

Listen. I wouldn't be
the producer that I am today

if a couldn't admit
when I was wrong,

and I was clearly
wrong about you.

You're a star.

Ha! Why do
you say that?

It took me until
now to see it.

I've always
seen it in you.

And I'm glad you did.
Listen.

I want to
sign you, coop.

It's not too late to add
you to my tour this summer.

You know that was a kid 'n play
song back there, right?

It wasn't the song
that convinced me.

It was you, so...
We doing this?

Can I think
about it?

I don't remember
the last time someone

had to think
about signing with me.

It's kind of a lot
to take in, dad.

No. It's fine. It's fine,
but don't take too long.

You'll hurt my feelings.

You girls
should be proud.

Whoo!

Isn't coop signing with
your dad a good thing?

Yeah. It is,
definitely.

Uh-oh.
3 yeses means no.

No. It is.
I'm just nervous.

I went from all alone
with nothing to do

to my dad coming back

and working on
music with coop.

What happens when both
of those things are gone?

I mean, have you talked
to them about it?

No. I would never get in
the way of coop's success.

Besides, I feel guilty
that it even bothers me.

I don't know.

Maybe it's better for
everyone if I just

go back to pretending
like everything's fine.

What? No. No way.

I won't let you after
you've come this far.

Besides, there's enough
people lying already.

What happened?

Is that why
asher isn't here?

We're taking a break.
Don't worry. I'm fine.

Ok. Liv, I am the queen
of the fake "i'm fines."

Do you want me
to kick his ass?

It's not just asher.

You know, with
the shooting,

my dad losing
his job, I mean,

it's one bad thing
after another.

I don't know.
I just--

I need a break
from all of it.

I heard
they suspended him

because he was caught
with london's wife.

Wouldn't
surprise me.

Enough, dad.

I'm sorry you got in
a fight with olivia.

You know
I like her, but--

We didn't get
into a fight.

She broke up
with me.

You focused on
the wrong baker, son.

Her dad's finally gone.

Maybe now beverly
can bring in a coach

who really
appreciates you.

Coach baker does
appreciate me, dad.

I think you mean
mr. Baker.

At best, he saw
you as a backup

to his golden boy
spencer.

I told you it was
only a matter of time

before
he screwed up.

You know, he didn't
screw up. I did.

Well, if it ain't the
quarterback without a team.

Yo, what did
you say to me?

And stop trying to steal
our players, dawg.

Hey, hey, easy, d.,
all right? Easy.

Yeah, d. Easy.

Yo, we didn't
steal anything.

Your boy cam
came begging us

to get him out
of crenshaw.

He calls it
pulling a spencer.

Are you gonna
take that?

I guess you don't stand up
to nobody no more.

Oh, you got
to chill, man.

I as. I was
chilling in nevada

till corey
made me leave.

Then he died
and left me.

Should've gone
with my mom.

My ass could've been
in germany right now

mowing down
bratwurst.

It's not like I got
a team to play for, eh?

You do got a team,
all right?

I know those guys.
They're just frustrated.

Talk to them.
"talk to them"?

And say what, "hey,
I know I'm the new kid

in town, but you should
listen to me, anyway"?

I couldn't even get them
to come to this party.

I never said this
was gonna be easy,

all right, but we're
gonna figure it out.

Right. We.

Yo, you can't even
fix your own problem.

You can take another
bullet and still be

the best player on the field,
but you won't do

whatever it takes to
get back out there.

You need to stop worrying
about your coach's feelings

and start
worrying about yours.

It's not like anybody else
is looking out for us.

Hey, athletic director hart,

it's spencer james.

See you at
the game, spence.

Actually, you're gonna
see me in the game, coach.

Say what?

A.d. Hart
cleared me to play,

thought you should
hear it from me first.

For real? When
did he clear you?

I talked to him
last night. Look.

I didn't mean to go
over your head,

but you didn't
give me much choice.

Look. I think you're
making a mistake here, son.

He ain't thinking
about your future.

Maybe not, but that's
all I'm thinking about.

Last time you played,
your arm went numb.

What if something
worse happens?

I need you to
trust me on this.

Why were you
suspended?

We ain't talking
about that right now.

I'm sorry, coach,

but trust's supposed to
work both ways, right?

Wish me luck.

Welcome
to the diamond 7-on-7

football league jamboree.

This is a double-elimination
tournament

with the best teams
from southern california.

Have you thought any more
about my dad's offer?

Well, what's up, layla?
Good to see you, too.

Sorry. I just--

I know you hate
small talk.

Very true.

It's crazy that
i'm even considering

saying no, right?

Not necessarily.
Why are you?

Lot of reasons--
Patience, for one--

And what if me and your
dad just don't mix?

Like, he came around
eventually,

but he was not exactly
feeling me at first.

Yeah, and then
you sold him

because you'd
sell anyone.

You're the real
deal, coop.

What do I know about
signing a big contract?

I mess around,
check the wrong box,

I have to rap
naked or something.

Ok. I will look at
the contract for you

and make sure you get

the best fully clothed
deal possible.

So you think I should
take the deal.

I want what's
best for you,

and, even though
I would really miss

working with you, I think
you should take the deal.

You're too good
not to.

It would be like spencer
not playing football.

Billy, hold up
a second.

I wanted to thank you
for helping asher

with his...
Little problem.

Oh. Well,
he's a good kid.

I--I just wish I
could help him out

with his big problem.

Don't judge me,
baker.

Maybe I should
ask your wife

how perfect you are.

Do you know why asher
pushes himself so hard?

Because
he loves football,

when you let him
play, anyway.

No. He plays because
he loves it.

He almost kills himself
because you love it.

Why do you think his
little problem even started?

So it's my fault now?

All he wants to do
is make you proud,

but nothing he does
is good enough.

Asher is a great player
on the field.

He's an even better
man off of it.

Start paying
attention.

All right. Let's
get it, fellas.

They ain't got nothing
on us, all right?

And don't think about
how cool they looked

in their smoking jackets
or how that hot girl

you talked to all night
went home with number 8.

Worst
pep talk ever, man.

Oh, yeah?
What if I said--

Don't try
to top it.

Just because we got killed
last time coach baker

wasn't here, doesn't mean
it has to happen again.

He topped it.
Let's go.

Hey, saw simone
in the stands.

She here
for me or you?

ha!

Let's go.
59 z mite.

Down. Set. Argh...
Hey. Hut. Hut.

Yeah. She only
likes guys who score so...

Hey, man,
what did you say?

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

he's just trying to get
under your skin, all right?

Don't let him.
Come on.

Hike, hike.

Agh...

Hey, you want
to make this interesting?

Loser drives winner
to simone's hotel.

All right. Let's wipe the
smile off this guy's face.

Ash, how's your arm?

set.

That's for simone.

agh!

Waah ha ha ha!

I got it. I got it.

Personal foul.

Unsportsmanlike conduct
on number one.

The touchdown
is no good.

Wildcats win.
Game over.

Hey...

oof!

Thank you,
jordan.

After your fight
with dane,

he's admitted
to being the father

and promised to take
care of us forever.

Well, I'm glad I
could help, simone.

What were you
thinking?

I don't know, ok?

I guess I just wanted
him to feel some

of the pain he was
putting you through.

Oh, and I'm supposed
to believe you did that

as a friend?

I like you.

Is that really
such a bad thing?

yes.

Jordan, my life
is a mess as it is,

and I don't need you
coming to my rescue,

so just go live your life
and stay out of mine.

Wha--
Yeah.

Well, you were
right, liv.

I should've just
stayed out of it.

Simone doesn't
care about me.

She doesn't even
like me.

Go ahead and
call me stupid.

Well, I can never
pass that chance up.

She obviously
likes you. Yes.

If she didn't, she
would've kept using you,

but instead, she's trying
to handle it all alone

so that you don't
get hurt, stupid.

And there it is.
Listen.

I know you want
to help her,

but there's really
nothing that you can do.

You're not her family,
and right now,

that's who she
needs the most...

Just like
you need me.

What are you doing?

Give me a hug.
no.

Give me a hug.
no.

Come on.
Give me a hug.

Ha ha ha!
Come on.

Just let it happen.

Get off of me.
Stop it.

Dad, what are
you doing here?

I'm here
because of asher.

Actually, he was
suspended because of me.

Coach caught me
using steroids,

and he could've
turned me in,

but he helped me
get clean,

and he took
the blame instead.

Steroids, ash?
Really?

Wish I could say I was
doing it for the team, man.

I wanted us to win,
no matter the cost,

but the truth is, I was only
looking out for myself.

I wanted to be better
than everyone,

no matter
what the cost.

Yo, shut up,
guys, all right?

Look. We all
make mistakes.

Since when don't we
have each other's backs?

No. It's cool, man.
They should be angry.

I would be.
I'm team captain.

I'm supposed to
lead by example.

I let you all down,
and I'm sorry.

I confessed to
principal london.

So you
off the team?

Suspended
indefinitely.

All that matters is,
coach is back.

You guys need someone
who cares more

about you than
himself, so...

Thanks, coach.

Give them
hell, boys.

Ok. Back to business,

we are going to forget
that totally avoidable loss.

Want y'all to
finish suiting up.

I will be back with
a new game plan.

Spoiler alert--
It involves winning.

Spence,
can I get a word?

Have a seat.

So I'm guessing
i'm benched.

Now, why would
you think that,

because you refused
to listen to me

and then went
behind my back

to get
your own way?

Yeah, pretty much.
Look.

I really don't
want to lose

my two best receivers
in the same day,

but I can't have you
playing this way,

so I'm gonna have
you put this on

to protect
your shoulder.

Won't this
limit my reach?

Not as much as sitting
on the bench will.

I think the brace
is great.

Look. We'll design
plays around it,

and, well, you're just
gonna have to trust me.

Yes, sir.

Welcome back, coach.

hey.
What's up?

Sorry I'm late. This
place is like a maze.

What'd I miss?

Man, nothing much.

Beverly lost
their first game,

and j.p. Wants
to sign me.

Wait. For real?

Oh, they looked bad.

Like, I'm hoping they
can turn it around.

Coop.

He told me last night
at the party.

What? That's huge.

Oh, my god,
congratulations.

Like, why are you just
telling me right now?

Look. I promised
I wouldn't let music

come between us again,
all right,

and if I say yes, that means
we go on tour together,

which also means
we'll be competing

for j.p.'s attention
every night.

Why? You said nothing
would make you happier

than seeing me
blow up, right?

Yeah.

And I feel the same
way about you,

and I'm sure j.p.
Feels that way

about every artist
on his label.

And that's
another thing.

Last time layla brought
me into the studio,

it didn't exactly
work out, all right,

and you know me.

I'm my best when
I can be myself,

and what if j.p.
Tries to change me?

You know, you just got
to be up front with him,

and, as much as I would
love to travel the country

with you, I wouldn't
want you to sign

with anybody who doesn't
love you for you.

It would be cool to go
on tour together.

Yes. It would,
but you are still

not taking
your song back.

Good stuff.

I never got along
with my father.

He was too demanding,
didn't listen.

Promised myself I'd
never be like that.

I guess I broke
that promise, huh?

I've broken a few
myself lately.

I never want you feeling
like you're not good enough.

You are.

I know I let you down.
no.

What you did today
took guts,

more than I ever had.

I'm proud of you.

All right, gentlemen.
Here we go.

All we got to do
is follow this game plan,

we'll be celebrating tonight.

We'll use motions and shifts
to keep the defense off balance.

Wide 35. Hey.

We'll slide
spencer off the slot,

hit quick screens.

oh.

Y'all know the deal--

Quick stops at the sticks.

Bend them till they break.

Y'all got something right here

not a lot of teams ever get.

It's called a second chance.
Westlake didn't beat us.

We beat ourselves,
but y'all know that.

The question is, are we gonna
let that happen again?

N'uh-uh. I can hear you.

The question is, are we gonna
let that happen again?

No, sir.
No, sir.

Are we?

No, sir.
No, sir.

Are we?

No, sir.
No, sir.

Get it done.

You know,
"beverly" on 3.

"beverly" on me.
1, 2, 3.

Beverly!
Beverly!

Whoo!
Come on, beverly!

Oh, you got this!

Hey, let's see that
trick crap again, huh?

Nah. We're just gonna beat
you head on this time.

Hey, wide 8.
Wide 8. Set.

uhh!

Wide 9.

uh!

ok.

Ok. One touchdown,
the game is ours, boys.

Aw, state champs.
Yeah.

Not now, j.j.

Yo, we got to
switch things up.

I've been catching
short passes all day.

They already know
what's coming.

Let me go deep.
I can burn them.

I just got to loosen
my brace. Come on.

No. Stick to the
plan, all right?

If you get hurt, I'll
never live it down.

I got a ucla recruiter
in the stands, man.

You want to win, right?
Let me loosen my brace.

Ok. Fine. Fine.

I'll give you one, but I'm
not gonna risk it again.

One's all I need.

All right.
Z spot 725.

Stop and go
on one on one.

Ready?
Break.

Here we go.

Shifty shifty. Wide 8.
Wide 33.

Wide 30. Set.

Uh! Ah! Huh...

Yeah!

yes!

Now you can say it.

Yo, state champs,
baby! Whoo hoo hoo!

Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

What a game.

I'll let
coach kelly know

that spencer james
is back.

Does that mean my
scholarship's back, too?

If I have anything
to say about it.

You're definitely
bruin material.

We'll be in touch.

I appreciate you,
coach. Thank you.

Yo, I haven't
seen you ball like that

since I moved here.

Ucla's got to be
a done deal now.

Man, I hope so.

Man, I'm sorry
about last night.

I don't know what
I was thinking.

I don't even
like bratwurst.

You got every right
to be mad, man.

Besides, you the one
that helped me find

my way back
on that field.

Yo, watching you grind
it out made me realize

I can't give up
on south crenshaw.

That was corey's home.

He wouldn't want it going
down without a fight.

Ok. My father's
a businessman,

so don't take
his first offer,

and he's tough, but
don't be intimidated

and compliment his tie
unless he isn't

wearing one but don't
compliment his shirt.

He hates that
for some reason.

Layla,
we are cool, ok?

How many more times we
got to go over this?

I told you,
I got you.

Ladies.

Hey, princess.
What's up, coop?

What's up?
All right.

Here we go.

It's pretty
standard.

If you have
any questions,

just ask.

That's a nice pen.

It's yours
once you sign.

I'm gonna
have to pass.

On the pen
or the deal?

Uh, you need to let him
make the offer first

before you reject it.
Look.

I'm sorry, Mr. Keating.

I can't sign with you.
I got somebody else in mind.

Do you really think
they'll do more

for you
than I will?

I don't know,
but what I do know

is that she'll
let me do me.

I know that she's been there
since day one and has my back,

and I know you like her
because her last name's keating.

So what you think?
Will you sign me?

Heh. Me?
Yeah.

Coop, I'm
in high school.

Layla, I'm in
high school, too.

Yeah. Well, I don't
even have a label.

Ok, so start one,
and I suggest you hurry up

because your new client's
kind of a diva.

Hey, I did say you had
a future in producing.

I guess that future
starts today.

see?

Just don't steal
all my clients.

Trust me, she ain't gonna
have no time for that.

She gonna be way
too busy with me.

I warned you.

Um...ha ha!

I don't appreciate
being summoned.

Aren't you even gonna
ask how simone is?

How's simone?

She's not great,
and she's gonna be

pretty upset with me when
she finds out I'm here.

She told me to
stay out of it.

She's always been
independent, so--

Mrs. Hicks, the last
time we were here,

you did all
the talking.

Ok. Now I need you
to be quiet

and listen, please.

Ok. Your daughter--

Heh. Your daughter
is a smart, kind,

amazing woman, ok,
and right now,

she needs her family

more than anything
else in the world.

I understand...

Sorry to interrupt.

Congratulations
on the big win.

I'm glad to see
you're back to form.

mvp.
Thanks.

I just wanted
to thank coach baker.

We wouldn't have won that
jamboree without you, sir.

We're not even
the same team without you.

Thanks for always
having our backs.

Well, you
ain't so bad yourself.

Now go on.
Get out of here.

Celebrate.
You deserve it.

Oh, and you might want
to check your brace.

It looked a little loose
during that last play.

Does he know
your reinstatement

is only temporary?

Aw, there's not point
in getting the team

worried for nothing,
or should I be worried?

You lied about a player's
steroid use, billy.

It opened up
a whole can of worms.

Now the pressure's
on me and a.d. Hart

to investigate you
and your whole program.

This could get a lot worse
before it gets better.

Greg,
move your head.
