Last Chance U (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Get Outta Dodge - full transcript

[Carpenter]
Welcome to Turbo's Sports Bar & Grill

in historic downtown Independence.

A lot going on at ICC, of course,

a monster win this past Saturday night

as the Independence
Community College Pirates

took down the number-three-ranked team
in the country,

the Garden City Broncbusters,

and the national champs went down.

Pirates improved to 2-1 on the year...

[rapping indistinctly]

[Carpenter] How can Garden City
be ranked ahead of you guys



since you guys beat them

and we're still four spots behind 'em?

[Brown] We're probably better
than a lot of teams ahead of us.

But a lot of people still don't know
who Independence is, nationally.

We don't have a reputation to uphold,

we have a reputation to create.

[Carpenter] Headed for a long road trip
to Iowa Central.

Looking forward to that.

We're gonna take a quick break,
head back...

Welcome back to Manson, Iowa.

Your Independence Pirates leading
on the road

over the Iowa Central Tritons, 21-0.

Pirate offense plays
with fourth down and 24.

-Henry rolls out the pocket...
-Corner!



...looks downfield,
he's gonna fire it deep,

has a man, it's caught! Carlos Thompson!

[Bobby] They can't stick you!

[announcer] Touchdown, Pirates!

[Malik] They can't hang with us!

[Carlos] Good ball, baby!

Each week we get better, the rest
of the league, they're in trouble.

Once they get their swag,
they'll go out there and ball out.

I'm hoping we just kinda
go off on a tear now,

just wreck house and get things
back in order where they should be,

and it's gonna be scary
when we put it together.

[announcer] Fires down the field,
has a man.

It's caught in the back of the end zone!

Ooh! Oh, yeah, Carlos!

[Carpenter]
I've lived here most of my life,

and just so you know,

the Pirates have been to two bowl games

in the history of their football program.

If you can do that,

there's gonna be one big parade.

-Probably bigger than we've ever seen.
-[Brown chuckles]

[player 2] Go! Go! Go!

[announcer] Across the 30, 25, 20,
ten, five! Blink of the eye!

Touchdown, Pirates!

Let's go!

[Brown] We're on a winning streak.

They're walking around with confidence.

Hopefully not cockiness, but confidence.

[O'Malley] We're excited they're winning.

In fact, I looked yesterday
to see what the rankings were,

and said, "We're moving up!"

A lot of people in the community
are excited.

[announcer] Independence
will improve to 3-1

on the year with the win,

and really serve notice nationally,
ranking wise.

The number-13-ranked team
in the country in great position.

You guys are the chosen one.

You guys
have a chance to rewrite history.

We're gonna take a quick break,
head back...

[marching band playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter]

[bell ringing]

[Brown] All right, look! We have
what's called a winning streak now.

But you gotta do right this week.

I'm checking classes, grades,
missed classes, all that shit this week.

See how many are just on vacation,

half-assing it
through your first semester at college.

There's no excuse to miss a class
in Independence,

or ever to be late to anything.

There's no excuse.

Dodge analysis. So you know,

they're big, physical with some athletes
on both sides of the football,

it'll be a different ball game
than we just played,

they'll be between a Garden City,
Fort Scott type of deal.

It's at their home.

You don't even know
what referees we'll get. We don't know.

The biggest prize your eyes should be on

is fucking graduating from here.

Second should be Natty.

Win the Natty. Win out.

-We good?
-We're good.

[Brown] All right. Love y'all.
Hands up! Win on me, win on three!

-One, two, three.
-[players] Win!

[Diaz] Thirty seconds, Bobby.

Thirty seconds, Bobby Bruce.

8:59, you better hurry up. 8:59. Hurry up!

So every morning, all assistant coaches
have to do class checks.

Hurry up, KD.

Each coach is given five specific players
who have missing classes

that the coach is now responsible for,

to make sure that they get to class
on time, and are in class.

And then on top of that,
try to get one of their grades up.

Where you going? You got class?

At 9:30, you have what?

I got, uh, art.

Okay. So I'll see you at 9:30.
Don't be late.

Never that.

All right, big dog.

A quarterback, you shouldn't ever
have to push them to do that thing.

It's a quarterback instinct
just to be the leader,

to be on time, to be on top of his stuff.

And, you know, Malik struggles
a little bit with that.

And I think that carries
into the football field as well,

as you gotta hold him accountable.

-What time's your class at?
-[Emmit] I don't got class today.

Why? You should be having classes all day.

They canceled.

Why are you out of class, big dog?

-Get in class.
-I went to use the bathroom.

[player] See you after class, boy.

See your ass after class. Whoop that ass.

[Brown] All right, let's see. Shit.

I'mma buy a car today.

I'm a Cadillac guy, man.

[sighs] Got one in my garage,

and I'm gonna buy another one today,
I think.

-That's cold, right there.
-[Harris] That is nice.

Oh, man, that's $7,000 cheaper, too.

You can't be impulse cat.
Gotta research...

[Brown] But it ain't a twin turbo.

[Harris] Do you really need that?

Yeah, I'm a muscle guy. I like fast shit.

[Harris] Then go buy you
a dang Challenger or...

Nah, everybody got one of them.

I'm still a Cadillac, luxury and...

See, me, I don't need all that
dang twin turbo stuff.

I'm cheap.

[Brown] I know.

[Harris] That's what I look at
right there.

-[Brown] Why not? Fuck it.
-[Harris laughs]

-[woman] Mr. Brown?
-Yes?

[woman] Okay, so I'm done with your quote.

The cheapest I was able to find you after
running your motor vehicle report would be

$1,449 to start.

And then your monthly payment
would be $668 a month.

God dang! Do I gotta give blood with that?

-[woman laughing]
-You're kidding me.

[car dealer] Because of the type
of vehicle you have and the violations.

You have three speeding tickets
within the past three years.

Sweetie, I own three Cadillacs.
I never heard of insurance this high.

Right now I own three Cadillacs.
This is the fourth one.

So, I think it's the state of Kansas
is all screwed up.

But, all right, I appreciate it.

For fucking nothing.

God damn.

[indistinct chatter]

-[laughing]
-[player] What are you talking about?

-Oh!
-[player] That Cali life.

[Kingston] Kingston.

-[Tucker] Nice to meet you. I'm Tucker.
-Are you a Michigan fan?

[Kingston] I transferred from Michigan.
I used to play at Michigan.

-Dang!
-[Kingston chuckles]

That's awesome!

[boy] Do people get in trouble a lot
in the dorms?

What do you mean, like, get in trouble?

[boy] Like, uh...

-Doing something wrong?
-[boy] Yeah.

[inhales deeply]

A little bit, but not always, you know.
But not too much.

[boy] My dad's best friend
is a president of a college.

-He said there's a lot of drug busts.
-[Delrick chuckles] Yeah.

[players laughing]

[Tucker] Why you saying this stuff?

Because I was worried.

[O'Malley laughing] Moving ahead,
changing the subject.

In every class, you start with all As,
and all you have to do is keep 'em.

[Barkley] That's the hard part.

That's what I tell my kids.

That's the hard part. I'm aiming
for, like, a 3,5 this semester.

I'm trying to aim higher.

[O'Malley] You should aim for 4,0.

-I don't know.
-[O'Malley laughs]

That's, like, real steep.

I don't know about that. I don't know.

[printer whirring]

Bobby Bruce.

One, two, three, four D's and a B.

Hey, so, grades are horrible.

They're the worst I've had
since I've been here.

I'm, like, fucking disgusted right now.

Football's not the only people
hurting in this deal.

The whole fucking school will look shitty

when 100 and something people fail.

It's turning into a shitshow.
I'm just telling you.

Rakeem Boyd, Malik Henry, Kingston Davis,

there's some surprises. Oh, Emmit Gooden,
Jequaries, you know... all bad.

Four or five F's.

Emmit, D, C, F, F, F, F, F.

Malik's in, like, fucking Spanish.

Art. He's failing art.
How do you fail art?

Here's Brandon Bea's grades.
A, A, A, C, B, B.

So there you go.
That's kind of a comparison.

Bobby Bruce has a D,
a D, a D, a D, and a B.

Four D's and a B.

No F's.

Yippee-yay. Fuck.

We look like a bunch
of fucking idiots, man.

Guys with F's better start
showing improvement.

The bottom line is four F's
on your grade report, homeboy.

Get it changed. Or don't fucking
play Saturday. How about that shit?

No accountability whatsoever!

You rather smoke fucking weed
than go to fucking class

in Independence, fucking Kansas!

If you motherfuckers wanna be criminals,

get the fuck out
and go do that shit in Coffeyville, man.

And I beg to fucking catch
one of you cats this week.

Piss testing is gonna be random,
ASAP, 911.

I'm getting that shit done ASAP,

and I'm gonna cut half
of you motherfuckers.

Spoiled fucking kids.

I don't give a fuck if we win every game
if you don't graduate.

Nobody's gonna remember Garden City
winning the national title in two years.

Who gives a fuck?
Keep it 100, like y'all say.

It's about fucking graduation,
so you can go play D-I.

[Harris] Football is not gonna
last forever,

but a college degree will.

JB, he kinda sees himself
in a lot of these young men.

So he sets the bar high for his kids
to be able to have a successful life.

A lot of people, of course, might
not agree with his style that he has,

but, you know, it gets the job done.

You ain't hungry.

You guys ain't hungry
to win fucking eight games in a row.

[Guardabascio] People could look
at the way Jason coaches

and think he is just
a win-at-all-costs kind of a guy.

What we see in Long Beach is a lot of kids
here where people aren't in their corner.

He would go pick a kid up an hour away

and bring him to school every day
for an entire school year.

He genuinely felt like for that kid,
he could get him a scholarship.

That's rare thing to come by,
a guy who cares that much.

But personality-wise, he just...
he's very abrasive.

He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

[Hendrickson] Very volatile. He's very
passionate, very much up to the edge.

And the players don't always know
where that line is.

Shut up, Bobby Bruce!

Fuck you talking to?

Shut the fuck up!

Tired of hearing your fucking baby voice!

You motherfuckers
got too many fucking excuses.

[Hendrickson] He didn't make friends,
but he wasn't interested in that.

He was interested in building a program

and providing opportunities for the kids,
and he did that.

[Guardabascio] If you spend an hour
both ways in traffic

to bring a kid to and from school,
there's no bullshit there.

That's genuine. He's actually doing that.

That's not cynical.

'Cause a lot of these kids didn't have
people like that in their lives,

who would've done anything
to go out of their way to help them.

[Hendrickson] But, at times,
especially if they weren't winning,

it tended to go
a little bit off the rails.

[Raechal] Feel how
that feels like popcorn?

-[Bobby] Yeah.
-[Raechal] It shouldn't.

That's not normal.

That's why we're doing this.

[Bobby] 'Cause I don't really do rehab.

[Raechal] Yeah, I know
you don't normally do rehab,

'cause you're Bobby Bruce.

[laughing] Oh! Miss Raechal,
you cutting me.

She cutting me.

[Raechal] Are you ready to run?

Yeah, I can run. I can run.

[Manoa Latu] Sit down, man.

[Bobby] Nah, man,
I'm not even trying to be in here.

[Latu] Sit.

Did you talk to your Soc teacher?

-[Bobby] Yeah.
-No, you didn't, man.

All your hard classes you ain't passing,

try to get it to a C.

-All you need is C's.
-All right.

[Latu] C's get degrees, man.

-So you been eating lunch?
-[Bobby] No.

Why not, man?

[Bobby] It's nasty.

I told you, you gotta eat, man.

Look at your body, dog.

Right now, for you,
there's nothing else better than this.

Know what I'm saying?
No matter how negative it may be here,

this is the best spot for all of us.

Me, Coach Remsza, you.

You know what I'm saying?

Just gotta find out
where I'm at right now.

[Latu] At where?

In my head.

-[Latu] Where you at in your head?
-I don't know.

You heard about the kid that went to jail
at East Mississippi?

[Remsza] Isaiah?

Yeah. And what was he doing?

Did he just get caught up with the boys?

Yeah, and his brother. His brother
was also a really good athlete.

[Latu] When I look at them cats,
I look at y'all. Know what I'm saying?

Y'all going home, doing something crazy,

or you guys get yourselves
into a situation,

you know what I mean?

[Bobby] Right. That almost happened to me.

Like, the break before we came up here,

I almost went to jail.

[Latu] For what?

'Cause, like, it was a stolen car.
I was in the vehicle, yeah.

But I had got out of it, like,
at the right time, or whatever.

The day I was supposed to come up here,

my homeboys was on the news.

I'm like, "Damn, I was just with them."

Like, "Damn, like,
that could've been me just now."

Mmm-mmm.

You guys not in the hood no more,
you guys athletes. Student athletes.

[Bobby] We in the real world.

Yeah, man, so you can't...

There are some things in the streets
you can keep with you,

but there's also some things
you gotta just let it go.

That's why I went to JUCO.

I had a second chance to do it
just like you're doing it. You know?

You just can't waste it.

Now you gotta be intent
when you wake up in the mornings.

Don't just go through the motions, man.

We all... Dog, we all gotta step up
our level of thinking.

[Ornelas] If you pass this,
you can have that steak.

If you fail it, you gotta
give me 100-yard rolls.

[Kerry] I already know the result.
I don't know what they're playing me for.

[Brown] It's to save your ass next week

when they test you guys
and you get suspended.

-Buck, you're up.
-What is it?

[Ornelas] Look, I need that much.
No more than that.

[Kerry] I'll try my best, man.

[Latu] When I got here, the weed was bad.

There was no common sense.

You can walk in the dorm,
and the smell hits you in the face.

Yes, you want them to get to the point
where they don't smoke it,

but if they are doing it,
they need to know the consequences--

-That come with it.
-That come with it.

That's the only way they're gonna learn.
It's like a kid touching the iron.

Tell the kid,
"Don't touch the iron, it's hot.

Don't touch the iron, it's hot."
Kid goes, touch the iron, gets burned.

"Oh, shoot, don't touch the iron."

That's what these freakin' kids need, man.

And some of these dudes,

after they get burned, they might still go
and touch the iron. [chuckles]

[Brown] God damn!

[Kerry] I need to hydrate.

Two lines on there.
I see two lines on there.

[Brown] Why their piss look the same?

Did they got apple juice
in that motherfucker?

[Kerry] Mmm-hmm.

You pass. Get outta here.

[Brown] Buck passed?

[Kerry] I told you I'd pass.

[Keith Donerson] He poured
his dip stuff in there.

-[all laugh]
-[Kerry] Y'all got hand sanitizer?

[Paul] You pissed on your hand?

-Yeah, got a little on my hand.
-[all laughing]

[Ornelas] Why didn't you wash your hands
in the bathroom?

[Kerry] I was focusing
on passing that test.

[Ornelas] He was busy pouring it in and...

[Brown] How you got two F's, then?

You can pass a piss test.

Go wash your hands in the bathroom.

Buck, are you back?
Fuck, yeah, you're back.

[whistle blows]

[Harris] Better. You better make it.
Good job, Arin.

[Malik] Eighty-nine, set.

[whistle blows]

[Malik] Set.

Good. Ass crack of that guard
to daylight.

Ass crack of that guard
to daylight, backs! 

-[Diaz] How you feeling, Buck?
-I'm tired.

-[Diaz] You're tired?
-[exhales] I'm out of shape.

You gotta get in shape.

[exhales sharply] Dude, my hand is numb.

-[Edwards] Hand's numb?
-Yeah, been numb--

[Edwards] Your bad shoulder?

Yeah, it's been numb all practice.
I was about to pass out, man.

Bro, I could tell. Your face was... your
face was about as red as those jerseys.

I was tired as fuck out there.

-I was saying, "Shit, this nigga tired."
-[coughs]

[Isaiah] He said...
[imitates Kerry breathing heavily]

Oh, here we go.

[Kerry] Back to reality.

[Harris] Kerry, Buck,
great football player.

Highly intelligent.

I think he's a born leader
and he's respected by a lot of his peers,

so, you know, when he went down, I said,

"There went my assistant coach
on the field." So it kinda hurt.

[coach] Hey, O-line, get in there!

[Kerry] Hey, hey, hey. Hey!

[Harris] Buck's a nasty son of a gun.

And the guys respect him.

They respect his play.

They know his past a little bit,

so they know he's kinda like a survivor.

A few anger issues sometimes.

He has to kinda control that.

Bad home life, you know,

a lot of times, kids in his situation,

they'll just settle for a step
right above their parents.

But he can be three, four hundred steps
above from what he comes from.

So, shoot for the stars.

That's what we always say.

[cows mooing]

Well, this is it. We own eight acres
around back all the way around here.

[Kerry sighs]

[Susan] I started raising 'em in 2008.

You shear 'em just like sheep.
And then you just sell the hair.

[Kerry] I used to help do that stuff
back in the day, not anymore.

-The goat business is all theirs.
-[all chuckle]

[Susan] We couldn't afford to feed
another person right then, really,

and... he knew if you wanna eat,
you gotta work. [chuckles]

So he did good. He did good.

He was so excited when Independence,
they offered him,

and I said, "If that's the only one,
you gotta go.

Get the hell out of here."

So he did, and I'll tell you,
he was so excited.

Within a week, he was out here
setting up something

so he could...
get back in shape and get strong.

I didn't have a job at that point
and couldn't afford the gym membership,

so I just made a little makeshift one
out here

with a sledgehammer
and an old piece of railroad tie.

This was my pull-up bar,
right here, this thing.

And then used the rail for,
like, you know, chest or whatever.

And, uh...

just beat the shit out of that tire
with a sledgehammer,

ran a lot...

I was kinda in shape anyway, you know.

I was gonna join the Army before
getting that call from Independence.

Thank God.
Independence was a blessing, definitely.

[Kerry] I'm first in my family to graduate
high school.My parents both dropped out.

My step-mom dropped out.

My grandma dropped out. [chuckles]

Like, everybody, you know.

So, I'm the first in my family
to go to college.

I'm the first to do anything.

[Susan] He was happy to get an offer.

And we were happy for him,
'cause he wasn't gonna be stuck here.

We did not want him to get stuck here.

[Kerry] Growing up, my dad and my mom,

they separated when I was,
like, two years old.

She was really into dope
and stuff like that. You know, meth.

She would take me
from drug house to drug house.

I mean, I moved all over. Like, Missouri,
Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California.

You know, it was just really unstable.

Finally, my dad, he ended up
getting full custody of me,

getting me out of that situation
with my mom.

You know, my dad signed me up
for football when I turned nine,

and it just kinda stuck with me.

It's the only thing that I was really told
that I was good at.

It was really that escape for me.

When I was out on that field,
I was in control, you know, I was the man.

I don't know what
or where I would be without it.

I went to Ventura College
to play football,

and things were going great.

Started to get a few looks
by some schools.

I thought things were going great.

But when I went home for the summer,
I just started noticing small differences.

You know, my dad would miss work.
He'd never miss work.

He'd miss a whole week for nothing.

He'd leave at 4:00 in the afternoon

and stay out till 10:00 in the morning,
you know,

when I got two little sisters at home.

So I did a little digging myself,
and I found out they were doing drugs.

They really got involved
in, like, meth and stuff,

just like my mom did when I was younger.

So I told him
I didn't want nothing to do with him.

Instead of going back to school, I decided
to stay home to look out for my sisters,

because I didn't know
what would happen with my parents.

I didn't know if they
were just gonna fall off the edge

or kill themselves
or whatever was gonna happen,

you know,
'cause I didn't even know who they were.

They were that...
that far gone with the drugs.

And, uh, I went to live with my grandma

in the middle of nowhere,
out in the desert.

I'm really just trying
to make something of myself

and not fall into the same lifestyle
that my family did.

[Jamal Scott] If I...

[player] If you ran your hardest, what
would your best game be, 230, 240?

I don't know, really.

You ran for 195, talkin' about,
you ain't ran your hardest yet.

-All right. So, you ran...
-I know, but, like, I gotta be feeling it.

I gotta be mad, like,
"They had me on the bench, buried".

So what you call
what you been doing?

-What do I gotta do to make you mad?
-Before every game?

I want you to run for 230.

The only thing that makes me mad
is to put me on the bench.

[player 2] Houston in your face.

[Ornelas] Rakeem, let's go!
Rakeem! Let's go! Hurry up!

[Latson] Boyd is probably one of the best
running backs in all of college football.

But one day he looks like
a Leonard Fournette-type of guy,

and the next day he may come to practice
and he's spaced out,

you know, moving slow, fumbling the ball.

He don't even look like the same player.

You hate to see it,
especially with guys like Boyd,

'cause he's a natural, man.

Being a first-round draft pick
will not be a problem for him.

At all. If he would just straighten up.

[Brown] Rakeem missed a week
'cause of injury.

He got here, he was, kind of...
"I'm better than this."

Then Jamal started gashin' folks,
and now he's like,

"Fuck, I might be just... another dude."

Jamal Scott, he's the guy
that's getting the rock right now.

How do the other two like that?

They don't have really a choice.
They don't say shit.

Rakeem, he's different now,

'cause he can
flat out roll if I can get him going.

Know what I'm saying?
I want to see the guy Coach Sumlin saw.

Good luck. Good meeting you.

-Later.
-[Rakeem] Later.

Quit crying. You already know.

Pay the fiddler. You missed practice.
Lucky I'm taking your ass and playing you.

You gotta talk to Coach.

-Why wouldn't you?
-[Brown] 'Cause you're a slapdick.

[Harris] We thought Rakeem
was gonna be the go-to guy.

Our best running back, but right now,
he's kinda being outplayed by Jamal Scott.

Seeing his attitude, his mind frame,

I'm calling him in

and having a man-to-man talk with him.

Just to kinda challenge
his integrity a little bit.

What's up, 'Keem? I wanted to call you in

to see where your head is at, brother.

I've been kinda disappointed in you.
I think you lost your fight.

I think right now you're a little nervous

about meeting our expectations
that we have from you,

because you're a Texas A&M kid.

You're supposed to be, you know, the guy,
and you're going through a slump.

I don't think you can handle it.

[Rakeem] I know I haven't fully opened up.
I don't know what the fuck it is.

I'm not, like, used to all the rotation.

[Harris] Guess what? This is a business.

We gotta get our best athletes
the ball, bro.

You know the best thing about Jamal?

Jamal will compete against Rakeem Boyd,
he'll compete against Kingston Davis.

He don't care. He goes out and plays.

Now, if Jamal has a horrible game,

then it might be time for Rakeem
to show up.

If Rakeem keeps it going, then guess what?

When you're hot, you're hot.
But if you came with that mentality, like,

"I don't give a damn who's
throwing the ball, who's blocking for me.

All I care about is, guess what?

Me doing my best,"

you're gonna be an NFL guy.

[Rakeem] I started those two games.

Boom, I fumble, I get hurt.

Sit out Garden City game. Jamal goes off.

I get to practice,

he gets the starting reps,

so I'm like, "Okay, okay."

[Harris] Let's have a great week,
get you rolling.

Can you handle that, brother?

All right, man. That's all we ask.

[Rakeem] Like, I was so down, I felt like,
you know, "Is this really for me?

Am I ever gonna trust another coach?"
You feel what I'm saying?

"Am I ever gonna put my trust
into his hands

and let my future just be thrown away?"

So...

[Brown] Watch the fucking guy
in front of you!

-God damn it!
-[Collins imitating Brown] "God damn it."

[players laugh]

[Collins imitating] "God damn it!

Fuck. Can't they ever get shit right?"

[player 1] That is how he sounds.

-[chuckles]
-[whistle blows]

"Fuck me."

That's his favorite one, right there.

"Fuck me."

Or he'll say...

"You need me, motherfucker.
I don't need you.

-You need me."
-[imitating] "I got two Caddies.

-Not one, two. Not uno, dos."
-[laughing]

"I got a beach house, motherfucker."

[imitating Brown] "Motherfucker,
with sand inside my beach house.

Two surfboards, bitch."

[Collins laughs and groans]

-What's the pink jersey about?
-He's got a negative.

-Motivation--
-Negative grade deal.

We grade them every day.
Black, yellow and pink.

They don't like it,
'cause you ask what it is.

Got ya.

[Diaz] You look sexy in pink, big dog.

You look like you might be from California
with that dyed hair, that pink jersey.

-Come on.
-I've been in pink for a week.

I know you're better than that.

When they get me out?
I've been here for a week.

Kingston, he might as well get him a shirt

-and make it as his jersey.
-[players laugh]

If I don't say, "Hey," the right way
to Coach, he gonna put me in pink.

[Brown] You'll be all right.
You do right today, you'll be out.

It's a learning experience.

One line in the middle,
then some running backs on the hash.

Because Malik
came from such a big-time program,

he kind of just looks down
upon JUCO football, you know.

I get it. Obviously, I'm not Jimbo Fisher.

But at the same time, you came from FSU,
but you're still not dominating.

Show me that you can.

That's why we were head-butting,

'cause I was trying to pick at him.

I'm not really good at being
the bad cop.

That's not my character.

And Coach Brown is more of, uh...
he's the bad cop. He's gonna yell at you.

[Brown] Get on the ball!

-[Latson] Get on the ball!
-[Ornelas] Somebody cover him up!

[whistle blows]

We better find a guy, man.

-Well, I'm not--
-[angrily] I don't wanna hear your mouth!

I'm tired of hearing guys talk back.
Just say, "Yes, sir, Coach.

You hired me. I don't know no better."

That's all you gotta fucking say!
Shut the fuck up!

Fucking coaches talk too goddamn much,

just like the fucking kids!

I'm fucking sick of it!

Take your ass home
if you don't want to be here!

It's never personal in this business,

but I get after coaches,
I get after players.

I was that way when I played,
I'm that way when I coach.

I don't hear shit
on the fucking microphone, Frank!

Where are you? Where's your voice?

When you grow up where we grew up,
verbal altercations happen.

You know, I think you can let that stuff
run off your back

if you got any type of tough skin.

They're called the bricks.

I'm here with three other coaches.

Coach Donerson, Coach Smith,

and wide receivers coach, Coach Latson.

Come on in.

It's not much to it.

It's not as warm as you'd think it'd be,
but we don't spend much time in here.

This is my room here.

There isn't much to it.
You know, I didn't bring much with me.

I have my two suitcases there,
ready to go, just in case I get fired.

Coach Brown might fire me one day.
I gotta be ready to roll.

Um, that's about it.
So, I put two beds together.

They're usually... It's two singles.

And I put two together to try to make it

a California king-size bed.

I'm from California,
so I like a California king-size bed.

Um... but that's about it.

It's basically just bricks.

It's one color
and you got these two office lights.

[chuckles] It's an all-day thing.

We get 5:30 a.m. practice,

and then you do class checks at 8:00 a.m.,

and then, after that,
we have our staff meeting,

then we have film with them
at three o'clock,

study hall, then weights,

then curfew checks at night.

So it's nonstop.
It's a very, very long day for coaches.

It sucks that you can't come home
to something warm or a good meal,

but if you love football,
this is what you gotta do.

I actually, um... I work for free.

Um, I work for free.

You might say, "Why?"
Well, I love football.

A lot of coaches here,
it's their last chance, too.

Everybody wants to move up the ranks
and all that, so...

It is what it is,
and we gotta make the best of it.

[Donerson] Let's go to class.

-[indistinct chatter]
-Let's go. Huh?

Uh-huh. Well, go to the dorm.
Don't hang out.

-[indistinct chatter]
-Huh?

What class you have?

A computer class down the hallway.

Let's go.

[student chuckles] 'Cause I can't read.

[Janelle Null] So, where does that
tabletop back there hit the sunflower?

Like, in the middle.

-Slightly above, right?
-Yeah, like, slightly above the middle.

[Null] Where's Malik?

I was hoping Malik was gonna get here
so we could get going on the new one.

Want me to shoot him a text,
see where he's at?

Yeah. Have you already?

-I haven't.
-Okay.

I thought maybe you had.
Uh-oh, he made it.

[Isaiah] I just texted you, too.

[Null] I was gonna
have you be done on this,

but they're working on the tabletops so it
doesn't look like everything's floating.

-And some shadow.
-A tabletop?

-[Null] Yeah. So...
-[exhales sharply] Man.

[Brown] He was great in the game
as far as attitude,

but if you don't damn go to class, you
ain't never making it at Oregon or at...

Arizona State or at Florida State.
Know what I'm saying?

[Ward over phone] Let me say this.

I know the severity
of his particular issue.

You can look at Malik, looks like
something's going on in his head.

He could either fix his damn self,

or he's gonna be the guy
everybody thought he was.

-Know what I'm saying?
-[Ward] I'm with you 100%.

He gotta...

He can repair his reputation very simply.
Very easy. But...

[Ward] It's gotta be right now.
'Cause there ain't no tomorrow.

When we have conversations,
we talk about Malik,

"How can I get this guy better
even though I gotta stay in his ass?"

And I said, "Man, you just stay in him.

It ain't no different from me
doing that to you."

This is not Jason's first time
having to go through this,

because I had to do that with him.

When I was up there in Independence
and I looked at Malik,

and he had a spiritual look

that just didn't look like he was there.

[Brown] Get to the spot!

[Ward] I was just hoping that somehow

JB could get to him
to pull the spirit back up

to where that happy-go-lucky guy is.

His self-esteem is still low.

He gotta want to do it himself,
also for the help.

We've done everything.

-[Ward] Yeah. Right.
-He gotta go...

[Ward] But no. Hear my point, son.

He may not think that he needs help.

One-fourth of the owners in the NFL

don't give a fuck about a grade.

They only want a player.

I'm not finding no excuse for him at all,

but there is something going on
in his head

that is not football-related.

[Pinkard] I'm waiting for Malik.
And the message I received is,

"Hey, Ms. P, I'm gonna shower
and then walk over."

He's cutting into his own time for help.

And I'm waiting.

So, how do you help somebody
who struggles to be helped?

I'm working with that one. Yep.

First, he started off being sick,

and then it went to,

"I'm getting my massage later on,
so I can't make tutoring help."

But his grades right now, it is very
discouraging, it is very disappointing.

I'm trying my best to help him, um,
succeed and move on to the next level.

I don't think he really understands,

if your grades aren't up to par,
you don't have the right GPA,

you're going to be back here again.

There is no rest,
and there are no excuses.

You are the dude,
and so, when you slack,

it's hard to respect.

Really?

What's up, Malik?

[Malik] How you doin'?

So I'm up here when it comes to lying,
the whole elaborate lying.

I'm on a whole other level
when people lie to me.

Moving forward, are you okay?

Uh, I'm all right. A little overwhelmed
with everything going on, but...

-[Pinkard] Okay.
-...I try to deal with it.

[Pinkard] And that's why I'm asking.
You're appearing, yes,

but you're showing everything else
that's no.

Are you okay?

Not really. [chuckles]

Okay. That's your truth.

You don't wanna run across a situation

where someone will not allow
you to move forward.

You don't want anyone on this earth

to have that much control over you.

In education, if you have to go to court,

you don't want that.

Okay? So, we gotta work on changing
some stuff up that you're doing

to get you to your D-I in eight weeks.

That's not a lot of time.

What are we working on?

What's your speech about?

-Should NCAA athletes-- Yeah.
-[Pinkard] Be paid.

I can help you with that.

[TV announcer] Tonight on Crossfire...

They're already among
the brightest sports stars,

bringing in millions for their schools.

So why not pay student athletes?

-Is it education or exploitation?
-[Malik] As football players,

we have to go to college
to play in the NFL at the next level.

I believe a lot of us make that sacrifice

just... just to get to the NFL.

I don't think anybody, you know,
really likes school.

Jot down whatever you need to,
then we'll write it up real quick.

[reporter] The most valuable thing when
you're a young person is an education.

Start throwing contract dollars at kids,

and you take their eyes off that ball,

you do them a real disservice.

[Malik] I love football
enough to make that sacrifice,

but I am not down for the way
the NCAA treats us,

you know, like, damn near like slaves.

Just with the workload
and the class schedule

and football on top of that.

And it's like boot camp almost,
so that didn't make it any better.

[Brown] I'm fucking tired of this shit,
man! Everybody's fucking late.

What the fuck's going on?

Was Malik Henry
on fuckin' time to class today?

Fuck no, he wasn't, motherfucker!

That's the only fuckin' guy
you're responsible for!

The motherfucker's late!

[objects clatter]

[Brown] Man, fuck this shit!

You guys can't handle
your fucking business, man!

The fuck right!

Fuckin' feel sorry, motherfuckers!
Go home, then.

By the way, Frank, I can call offense,
coach the QBs, coach the wideouts,

I can do all that shit.
But you want a D-1 job?

Fuck out of here, man!

You motherfuckers have no clue.

If my 50-year-old coach
checks classes again

without my young fuckin' dudes,
you're fired!

Because I can do it my fuckin' self!

If you think I'm an asshole,
go the fuck home.

You got me fucked up, man!

Take your ass home, then!

[Diaz] Q's on three. One, two, three.

-[players] Q's.
-Malik, I need you, big dog. Come on.

[Malik] Ugh... This is crazy.

There and back, lunges. Then come back.

No, listen...
you were late to class today.

-Supposed to add ten.
-[Malik] Which one?

[Diaz] Uh... Art class.

-I wasn't late. I was in the bathroom.
-Yeah. 9:31.

Lunge all the way there and back.

He's not even doing them right, huh?
Just half-assing it.

But he's gotta wake up.

I don't like living here,
but if I were to leave...

that was a sign of me quitting on someone
I told never to ever quit.

So I couldn't give up.

I'm the type of guy who's gonna say,

"Hey, the glass is half full
versus half empty."

Maybe I'm being optimistic
about Malik because I like Malik,

I want him to be successful.

So maybe I'm wrong in my head.

If he doesn't graduate by December,
he's not gonna make it past it,

because this environment
doesn't fit Malik.

You know? And it wouldn't fit me either,

so I would do whatever I could
to get out of here.

I would give it full effort.

I want him to give it full effort,
so he can graduate and get out.

I stand in front of you so you understand.

Everybody look at me.
I stand in front of you cats today,

ashamed to be your head coach.

It's the worst grades on my tenure
as a head coach, period.

You guys can't figure it out, man.

I'm fucking sick of this shit.

I'll win with who the fuck wants
to do right and win.

If not, fuck it, we'll move on.

Emmit Gooden, you got four F's.

Art, you shittin' me?

Fuckin' shit. Art?

Draw a fucking picture, man!

Fuckin' go to class, I bet you'll pass it.

Ignorance is
life-fucking-threatening, man.

89% of the NFL and NBA players

are broke three years
after they fucking retire.

Broke. Bankrupt. Flat broke.

If you think football is gonna
pave your way for the rest of your life,

you're fucking sadly mistaken.

And I just hope that you understand,

you should let football
pay for your education,

not the other way around.

Man, I know what the fuck's going on.

I know you guys can't comprehend
half that shit.

Who gives a fuck? It is a game.

If you go to class,
stay off your fucking phone,

sit in the front, turn in your homework,
you'll get a C.

You guys can't even do that shit, man.

I'mma tell you, on camera,
I don't give a fuck.

I didn't learn one thing in high school
or college. One fucking thing.

Couldn't tell you what a fucking atom is.
I couldn't tell you what a microbe is.

I couldn't tell you what the fuck
any of that shit is.

But I'm a cold hustler,
so I figured it out.

Some of you cats are waiting for Mommy,
Daddy, and whoever the fuck else,

to figure it out for your asses,

instead of pulling your fucking pants up,
droppin' your nuts,

and tightening
your fucking shoelaces yourself.

You guys have failed me.
You failed yourselves. I failed you.

The entire program is failing
right now at 3-1.

School should be one,
this shit should be two.

Without school, this don't mean nothing.

You're gonna be on Netflix beating
Dodge City. Whoopie-fuckin'-doo.

How can I help you
if you won't help me help you?

A great poet said that. Fuckin' E-40.

Hopefully you figure it out.
Coaches, you got 'em.

[Carpenter] Dodge City is...

It's just a tough environment to play.

You get out in western Kansas,
um, it's different.

It's almost like an entirely different
part of the world.

It's a western, roughneck type of town.

And I think that team, the Conquistadors,

um, they've adopted, like,

"We wanna be the bad boy bullies
of the Jayhawk Conference."

They use that well to their advantage.

[all] Oh, shit. Dodge City in this bitch!

Oh, shit. Dodge City in this bitch!

Oh, shit. Dodge City in this bitch!

[announcer] Welcome to Memorial Stadium,
in Dodge City, Kansas,

for Saturday afternoon Pirate football.

All the years I've done broadcasting
for the Pirates,

this is probably the least favorite place
to come for whatever the reason.

The wind briskly blowing
out of the south at 22 miles per hour.

So wind's gonna play a big factor
tonight in the passing game.

Malik Henry at quarterback.

Independence relies
on the Florida State transfer

to light up the skies
for the Pirate passing game.

Sit back and relax.

It's a Wild West shootout from Dodge City,

between your 12th-ranked Pirates

and the hometown Dodge City Conquistadors.

Well, here we go.
First offensive possession of the game.

Malik Henry in the shotgun. Steps up
in the pocket. Now he's gonna scramble.

Trying to get away,
but he's gonna be dragged down.

Henry gonna be hit for a sack.

[Malik] Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck me.

[Diaz] God, come on, Malik.

[announcer] Henry again goes
pistol gun formation.

Scott behind him in the backfield.

It goes to Scott.
He's looking for a lane. Comes near side.

[Carlos grunting in pain]

[announcer] We've got a Pirate player
down on the field, writhing in pain.

-Who is that?
-Carlos.

Oh, fuck.

[Carlos groaning] Oh, fuck.

-[Latson] You good, boy?
-Fuck.

Yo, he's feeling that.

Malik, Malik, hand it, hand it.

[Malik] Tell the defense.
What the fuck is that?

[announcer] Malik Henry gets the play call
from the sideline.

[Malik] Hey, orange, orange, orange.

He checks it off
at the line of scrimmage.

[Malik] Two.

[announcer] Back to throw.

Over the middle, and it is intercepted

by Dodge City right near midfield.

Just run the fucking plays. Quit worrying
about checking everything. Go with it.

Dodge City on the move

with their first possession
in the Pirate territory.

He zips it over the middle, wide open
at the 25, 20, 15, ten, five.

-Touchdown, Dodge City.
-[cheering]

[announcer] Dodge City
strikes first blood at home.

They lead the Pirates.

Better wake up! All that talking.

Indy trying to move the ball
through the air.

It's gonna be difficult,
at the very least, with this strong wind.

[Malik] Come on, let's go. Step it up.

[announcer] Play clock down to nine.

[Malik] Give me the play!

Lake St. Louis. Lake St. Louis.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

[whistle blowing]

[announcer] And now flags fly.
That's gonna cost Pirates five yards.

Not something they
really could afford at this point.

[Brown] Come on!

Gonna bring up third and 11
for Independence offense.

[Malik] Give me the play on the wristband.

[coach] You got a minute left.

-[Brown] I don't have that play.
-The fuck?! Call this shit.

-Taking too long. It's on me.
-[Malik] We gotta go!

[announcer] Pirates
sputtering here offensively

in this first quarter.

Fakes the handoff. He throws.

Has the man, and it is caught far side.

And what? Now they're gonna wave it off.

Incomplete. Fourth down and 11.

That's a shit call! That's horrible, man!
His fucking foot's like this!

[announcer] Jason Brown is livid
in front of the Pirate bench.

[Malik] What the fuck is that?
What is that?

-[Brown] I don't have every play--
-Well, I'm getting half the fucking play.

I'm getting half the play. Whoever
you send. Whoever you bringing in.

-I'm getting half the play.
-We'll get it. You can't get frustrated.

[Malik] We're unorganized again.

-So what? Just shut the fuck up!
-[Malik] Come on.

-Take your fucking ass home, then.
-[Malik] Man, fuck that.

Shut your ass up!

-Let's go.
-Sorry motherfucker,

you can't even throw quick game!

-[Malik] Yeah, you're fucking sorry.
-You talk too much!

Sorry motherfucker!

-I wouldn't lose with these fuckers.
-[Malik] Okay.

-[Brown] Sorry ass bitch!
-[Harris] Sit down, Malik.

-Motherfucker's weak!
-[Malik] Okay.

-You're weak-minded!
-[Malik] You, too.

[Brown] Sorry motherfucker!

[indistinct chatter]

Motherfuckers can't play under pressure.

Coach Brown thinks he's a head coach.
He ain't no fucking head coach.

Fuck that. Come on. Hey, I ride for y'all.
I don't work for that nigga. Fuck him!

I ride for y'all.
Fuck a head coach who can't call a game.

[Bobby] Let's go, D!

[announcer] Now third down
for the Dodge City offense.

He'll hand off the tailback.

And he's nailed
at around the 46-yard line.

Bobby Bruce, the linebacker,
delivering the lumber on the wideout.

[announcer 2]
Tackle by number 30, Bobby Bruce.

[Brown] Yeah, Brandon.

[announcer] Start of the second quarter,

and they have a new quarterback.

It's gonna be number seven, Brandon Bea.

Bea in the shotgun. Fakes the handoff.
Rolls out far side.

-Now the ball knocked loose.
-What in the fuck is he doing?

[announcer] It's free
and picked up by the Pirates.

That's a crazy deal.

Brandon, give the fucking ball!

-[whistle blowing]
-[Malik] Yeah, great.

Coach, you want
to go back with Malik?

No, fuck no. Do you want to?

-Shit!
-Nah, he want to lose with him. Go ahead.

He's failing every class.

You don't watch him,
but you want him to play?

-We gotta talk to Coach Brown.
-Yeah.

He gotta calm down.
These dudes don't respond to that.

That make them shut down.

That makes them shut down.

He gotta realize what kind of team he got.

He gotta realize that.

[Malik] His dumb ass can't coach a game.

That's what he needs to fucking work on.

Fucking fat ass.

[announcer] Pirate offense led
by their quarterback, Brandon Bea.

He was in on the last series.

He's staying in right now.

He pump fakes. Now he's in trouble.

He's gonna have to go down and be sacked.

-This moment too big for Brandon Bea.
-I don't care, dog.

[announcer] Out on the field now,
that's Kerry Buckmaster,

the redshirt sophomore
out of Winnemucca, Nevada.

He was injured early in the season.

Back to throw. He looks.
He looks. Still looking.

Out of the pocket.

Bea is gonna try to run and nowhere to go.

[player] We got half a quarterback
in the game.

[Brown] What is he doing?

Guy don't know what he's doing.

-Why is he in, then?
-I don't know!

[announcer] Halftime.
The Dodge City Conquistadors, seven.

Your 12th-ranked
Independence Pirates, zero.

[Brown] You know, I got a Q issue.

I got a guy in there that's a deer
in the headlights right now.

What's going on with that?
'Cause they talking about it.

He don't shut the fuck up.
He talks back to everybody.

He gonna talk back to me,
ain't gonna listen to nobody else.

-[Diaz] What happened, dog?
-[Malik] Stupid ass. I don't know.

I came off, he asked me what was wrong,
and I told him we were unorganized.

He came yelling at me,
talking about I suck,

I can't throw quick game
and I should never play.

I suck, but he's coaching at a JUCO,
so it's cool.

[Diaz] Don't let that get to you.

-Are you good to go?
-[Malik] Yeah.

[Diaz] Just run what he tells you. Don't
check out of nothin'. Be ready to roll.

I talked to Malik.
I told him to keep his fucking mouth shut,

don't say anything, bottom line.

-I don't want to talk to the kid.
-Want me to come down?

-[Brown] You can.
-I'll come down and manage him.

He needs to run the play he's called.

[Diaz] I'll tell him.

-I'm starting Brandon, though.
-[Diaz] Okay.

-Come down then? I'll come down.
-[Brown] Yep.

I told him I was gonna
lose my shit on him eventually.

Then it's gonna be over,
'cause I'mma choke the fuck out of him.

I'm just telling you.
He's a mark-ass bitch, homie.

He don't understand.

Hey! Listen up! Listen up!

We got a soft-ass generation, man.

I'll be fucking damned
if my fucking ass gonna be soft.

You better fucking match my shit
or go the fuck home.

Soft-ass shit.

You guys don't gotta play for me.

But God damn,
for all the shit I do for you guys,

you fucking should give something back.

They're not that good.
We'll figure out the O, Defense.

You guys keep pounding them in the face.

We'll figure it out
and take the game with the wind.

Let's go smack these dudes
and get out of here.

-[player] Let's go!
-[cheering]

[announcer] Welcome back
to Dodge City, Kansas.

It has been an ugly game.

-That's putting it as mildly as I can...
-Let's go.

[announcer] ...as we get set
for the second half of action.

Why is Brandon way over here, Coach?

Get him in the huddle.

[announcer] Brandon Bea is still in
as quarterback for the Pirates.

[Brown] Damn, he's a deer in headlights.

[announcer] Wind in the face of Bea.
Back to throw. Still looking.

Over the middle, it's complete!
The 30, 25, 20, 15, ten.

Calvin Jackson inside the ten,
first and goal.

The biggest offensive play of the night
for the Pirates, and they're on the move.

In the backfield will be Rakeem Boyd.

He's a guy they've been looking
for big production.

He's a six-foot, 215-pound
redshirt freshman from Texas A&M.

Bea in hurry-up mode.
Handoff goes to Boyd.

Run up the middle. Touchdown, Pirates!

[cheering]

[announcer] Rakeem Boyd barrels
into the end zone

from seven yards out.

Independence tying this game up.

Let's go! Let's fucking go!

[both cheering]

Hey, little brother.

[announcer] Great job by the Pirates
motoring down the field,

and then Rakeem Boyd high-steps it
into the end zone.

9:07 here in the third quarter
from Memorial Stadium in Dodge City.

The defense does their job yet again.

First down, Pirates.

He is gonna be wrestled down at the 35.

Now, tempers flare again after the play.

The officials trying to separate players.

Don't go over. Don't go over. Stay here!

Hey, don't move!

[announcer] And flags fly. It's not good.

I think it's gonna go against the Pirates.

[referee] Unsportsmanlike conduct.

If I find out it was your ass,
you're done here.

You better not be over there chirping.

I didn't even say nothing, Coach.

But since then, Bea not effective.

[Diaz] Oh, shit.

[announcer] Bobbles the snap!
The ball is loose on the field.

[Brown] Fuck!

[announcer] Luckily, Independence pounces
on the football at the last second.

He can't even catch the football.

[Diaz] Go back with Malik?

-Let's go, then!
-[Diaz] Malik, let's go!

[Malik] Now you want to put me in.
I'm cold as shit.

Put me in the game, great. Cool, super.
