Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:25,626 --> 00:00:27,728
'cause this is about
to be a good one.
2
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:30,164
Down here in New Orleans,
you know we know how to party.
3
00:00:30,298 --> 00:00:31,699
And around here,
we like to say,
4
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:33,567
"Laissez les
bons temps rouler."
5
00:00:35,803 --> 00:00:38,339
The wait is over.
6
00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:41,342
A sold-out Superdome
is the stage.
7
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:46,380
After a year
of partially filled
or empty stadiums,
8
00:00:46,514 --> 00:00:49,016
this should be
absolutely electric.
9
00:00:49,150 --> 00:00:51,219
College football's Snickers
National Title game
10
00:00:51,352 --> 00:00:53,087
has finally arrived,
11
00:00:53,221 --> 00:00:55,256
and it is the matchup
of our dreams.
12
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:57,091
We have the 13-1 Cougars
13
00:00:57,225 --> 00:00:59,460
going against
the undefeated Wolves,
14
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:02,530
and this is where
legends are made.
15
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:05,466
[Nick Wright] Wolves
quarterback, the Heisman
Trophy winner LeMarcus James.
16
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:07,535
Possibly
the best quarterback
17
00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:10,238
to come into the NFL
since Patrick Mahomes.
18
00:01:10,371 --> 00:01:12,706
[reporter] And you know
who agrees with me
on that? Miami.
19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,243
'Cause they're poised to
take him number one overall,
20
00:01:15,376 --> 00:01:18,246
and I'm hearing for about
$35 million guaranteed.
21
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,047
Meanwhile,
for the Cougars,
22
00:01:20,181 --> 00:01:21,815
you have running back
Cecil Burgess,
23
00:01:21,949 --> 00:01:23,717
AKA the Haitian Hammer.
24
00:01:23,851 --> 00:01:26,120
He's gonna run for,
eh, I don't know,
25
00:01:26,254 --> 00:01:28,822
200 to 400 yards
every game.
26
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:30,458
That's how he set
the Big 12
27
00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:32,092
all-time single-season
rushing record.
28
00:01:32,226 --> 00:01:34,328
But the people
who really build
29
00:01:34,462 --> 00:01:36,764
the college football
dynasties are the coaches.
30
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:40,468
We are not talking enough
about Wolves coach
James Lazor.
31
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:44,104
Everybody knows the guy is
an elite program builder,
32
00:01:44,238 --> 00:01:46,940
one of the best coaches
we've seen,
33
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:50,010
but he has never
won the big game.
34
00:01:50,144 --> 00:01:53,247
Monday night is about etching
his name in the history books.
35
00:01:55,149 --> 00:01:57,017
[Wright] You have
legacies on the line.
36
00:01:57,151 --> 00:01:59,119
You have controversies
surrounding the sport
as a whole.
37
00:01:59,253 --> 00:02:02,656
Monday cannot get here
soon enough
38
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:05,793
for the college football
national title game.
39
00:02:14,034 --> 00:02:15,836
[person coughs]
40
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:17,338
[tapping]
41
00:02:17,471 --> 00:02:18,606
[person sniffs]
42
00:02:21,709 --> 00:02:24,077
[tapping continues
intermittently]
43
00:02:31,652 --> 00:02:33,187
[exhales forcefully]
44
00:02:55,643 --> 00:02:57,378
[person] You hear that?
45
00:02:58,446 --> 00:03:00,281
The poppin'?
[bones popping]
46
00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:07,054
Was an elbow-to-helmet with
Michigan State's Will backer.
47
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:09,357
I-right, simple, 68 blast.
48
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:11,091
[football taps]
Wham.
49
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,895
Darn thing
ain't been right since.
50
00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:17,865
[LeMarcus] Lead.
51
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:19,967
Hmm?
52
00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:22,236
It was 1-41 lead.
53
00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:25,806
Hmm, pretty sure...
54
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:29,310
If you were
on the second level,
then you were lead blocking.
55
00:03:29,443 --> 00:03:32,546
Michigan State ran
a Chicago 53
with a robber in the box.
56
00:03:34,014 --> 00:03:36,550
I mean, no way you got to
the Will back on the blast.
57
00:03:36,684 --> 00:03:38,185
Hmm?
58
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,920
Could've been lead.
59
00:03:44,157 --> 00:03:45,859
[LeMarcus sighs]
60
00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:56,304
"The path
of the righteous man
61
00:03:57,938 --> 00:04:00,308
is beset on all sides
62
00:04:00,441 --> 00:04:02,310
by the inequities
of the selfish
63
00:04:03,477 --> 00:04:06,113
and the tyranny
of evil men."
64
00:04:08,882 --> 00:04:11,285
"Blessed is he who,
in the name of good will,
65
00:04:11,419 --> 00:04:13,421
shepherds the weak through
the valley of darkness."
66
00:04:13,554 --> 00:04:14,855
Hmm?
67
00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:16,624
"For he is
his brother's keeper
68
00:04:16,757 --> 00:04:18,459
and the finder
of lost children."
69
00:04:18,592 --> 00:04:22,796
"And I will strike them down
with vengeance
and furious anger
70
00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:26,266
those who attempt to poison
and destroy my brothers."
71
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,670
[both] "And you will know
my name is the Lord,
72
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:32,706
for I lay my finger
upon thee."
73
00:04:33,641 --> 00:04:35,909
[both imitate gunshots, grunt]
74
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:40,314
[gasps dramatically]
75
00:04:40,448 --> 00:04:43,150
[both laughing]
76
00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:47,721
You stupid, man.
77
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:51,058
That was an Oscar-winning
performance.
78
00:04:51,191 --> 00:04:52,593
Shit.
79
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:55,128
Ah, shit, ol' Quentin
sure can write 'em.
80
00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:56,997
Yeah, he can. [chuckles]
81
00:04:58,466 --> 00:05:00,133
Damn.
82
00:05:00,267 --> 00:05:03,971
Hey, you turn
your location services off?
83
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:08,041
Yeah. On the iPad too.
84
00:05:08,175 --> 00:05:11,111
We can still call
this whole thing off.
85
00:05:11,244 --> 00:05:13,447
Chalk it up
as a research project.
86
00:05:14,915 --> 00:05:17,017
Get some grad credits
out of it.
87
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,286
Hell, I think we'd be
halfway to our master's.
88
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:20,721
[scoffs]
89
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:29,830
Bow your head, man.
90
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:35,369
[grunts softly]
91
00:05:36,704 --> 00:05:38,839
[LeMarcus sighs]
92
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:43,811
God, give us the wisdom
to see the path
we must take,
93
00:05:43,944 --> 00:05:45,979
and give us the courage
to brave it.
94
00:05:47,014 --> 00:05:48,782
Make of us a light.
95
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:52,620
Amen.
Amen.
96
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:57,891
You're getting better
with that.
97
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:04,698
[sighs]
98
00:06:13,006 --> 00:06:14,074
[sighs]
99
00:06:15,543 --> 00:06:16,744
We're live.
100
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,652
We'd best
get a move-on then.
101
00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:27,988
Coach's gonna become
a heat-seeking missile
looking for you.
102
00:06:28,856 --> 00:06:29,890
Yeah.
103
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:33,594
I just hope he understands
this ain't about him.
104
00:06:36,497 --> 00:06:39,199
[commentator on TV]
Burgess, able to break away,
105
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:41,101
into the secondary.
106
00:06:41,234 --> 00:06:43,336
Breaks another tackle...
Stop right there, Lukie.
107
00:06:43,471 --> 00:06:45,238
[keyboard clacks]
Right there.
108
00:06:45,372 --> 00:06:47,941
This is
what I'm talking about.
Simple stretch sweep to 34.
109
00:06:48,075 --> 00:06:49,943
Lukie, zoom on 34.
110
00:06:51,211 --> 00:06:54,548
There. Right ankle dominant cut
around the left corner.
111
00:06:54,682 --> 00:06:56,383
The best running back
in the country
112
00:06:56,517 --> 00:06:59,252
is turning the corner
on an inside ankle lead.
113
00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:01,989
Why? 34's left ankle
ain't right.
114
00:07:02,122 --> 00:07:03,891
It hasn't been
since week ten.
115
00:07:04,024 --> 00:07:06,860
Okay, real quick.
Cecil scores
on this play, right?
116
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:09,563
Yeah. Eighty-yard sprint,
where he outruns a free safety.
117
00:07:09,697 --> 00:07:11,899
Yeah, against Vanderbilt,
I could outrun a free safety.
118
00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:15,202
So here's what we do.
If we move Cornelius
to the middle,
119
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:16,637
we pinch in the OLBs,
120
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,872
we got our safeties thinking
run support first.
121
00:07:19,006 --> 00:07:20,841
Cornelius will
eat his lunch,
122
00:07:20,974 --> 00:07:23,210
and we will shut 34 down
for the night.
123
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:24,512
I got you.
124
00:07:24,645 --> 00:07:26,947
Boys. Booster club dinner.
Five minutes.
125
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,449
Yeah, yeah, they can wait.
No, they cannot wait.
126
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:31,384
They're the team owners.
You're the guest of honor.
127
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:33,353
Luke can babysit the film,
right, baby?
128
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:35,288
Tell you what. You can
come back here tonight.
129
00:07:35,422 --> 00:07:37,891
You guys can touch
and watch film
all night long. How's that?
130
00:07:38,025 --> 00:07:40,460
Seventy-two hours till
the national goddamn title game,
131
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:43,063
and I got to parade around
in this dog-and-pony show.
132
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,198
Heavy is the head that wears
the crown, my Lord.
133
00:07:45,332 --> 00:07:47,100
All right, look, I gotta
go get dressed, man,
134
00:07:47,234 --> 00:07:49,436
get ready for this
dog-and-pony show,
as you call it.
135
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:51,639
Seriously, you're not going
to back me up here at all?
136
00:07:51,772 --> 00:07:53,607
No, I'm not.
I just do your defense.
137
00:07:53,741 --> 00:07:56,443
That's your own offense.
That's your life offense.
138
00:07:56,577 --> 00:07:58,478
[laughs]
Defense right here.
139
00:07:58,612 --> 00:08:00,280
I made these
short and sweet,
like you like it.
140
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:02,149
I suggest you do the same
with your jokes.
141
00:08:02,282 --> 00:08:04,852
My jokes are hilarious,
and people love them.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
142
00:08:07,287 --> 00:08:09,489
Stop.
Personal phone.
143
00:08:09,623 --> 00:08:12,192
Give me the personal phone.
Luke gets the business phone.
144
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:14,027
Give him
the business phone.
145
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:15,963
Anything comes in,
you know where to find me.
146
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:18,365
You need to relax.
Let's enjoy the mountaintop.
147
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:21,368
I'll enjoy the mountaintop
when we are at the mountaintop.
We're not there yet.
148
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,403
Let's go. Can we go?
149
00:08:23,537 --> 00:08:24,872
Yes. Okay.
150
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,640
Lukie, set all staff
for00 a.m.
151
00:08:26,774 --> 00:08:29,309
Bed check on time.
On time.
152
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:30,711
Will do.
153
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:34,247
[person]
Bed check. Let's go!
154
00:08:34,381 --> 00:08:36,249
[indistinct chattering]
155
00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:42,522
Hey, guys,
get in y'all room, man.
[knock on door]
156
00:08:43,791 --> 00:08:45,358
-What up, Scotty?
-Yo, what up, Orlando?
157
00:08:45,492 --> 00:08:47,394
Is Walton in there too?
Yeah, he in the bathroom.
158
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:48,696
Let's get some rest.
159
00:08:48,829 --> 00:08:50,263
Talk to you later, man.
For sure.
160
00:08:50,397 --> 00:08:52,600
[laughing, chattering]
[bottles clink]
161
00:08:52,733 --> 00:08:55,468
Hey, Coach, check them
back there for me.
Sure.
162
00:08:56,937 --> 00:08:58,238
[knocks]
163
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,874
Yo, LJ, Em.
It's Scotty. Open up.
164
00:09:03,010 --> 00:09:05,078
Come on, guys,
stop playing. Open up.
165
00:09:24,865 --> 00:09:26,767
[foil crinkling]
166
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:33,240
[cell phone ringing]
167
00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:34,775
That's bed check.
168
00:09:37,678 --> 00:09:38,946
Yo, Scotty.
169
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,949
I'm already asleep, man.
170
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,017
Yeah. Sunday's snoring
like an ox.
171
00:09:44,151 --> 00:09:46,253
Can you hear him?
[imitates snoring]
172
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,089
He broke his nose
so many times,
173
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:51,058
once he gets
on his back,
I'm screwed.
174
00:09:51,191 --> 00:09:54,261
Yeah.00 a.m. sprints
in the bubble.
175
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:55,629
Got it.
176
00:09:56,830 --> 00:09:58,265
He buy it?
Hell, yeah.
177
00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:06,573
Thank God Snickers sponsored
this game and not
some insurance company.
178
00:10:08,241 --> 00:10:09,242
You hungry?
179
00:10:09,376 --> 00:10:10,577
No.
180
00:10:12,713 --> 00:10:14,581
[sighs]
181
00:10:25,092 --> 00:10:26,927
[laughter]
[Coach Lazor]
I'm telling you,
182
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:29,730
I know they don't have
boosters this good looking
in the Big 12.
183
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:32,700
[all laughing]
I know the Cougars
don't look this good.
184
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:36,336
We have built this program
into a juggernaut.
185
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,206
Two consecutive
conference championships,
186
00:10:39,339 --> 00:10:41,174
two consecutive
play-off berths,
187
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,010
and now...
[audience applauding]
188
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:45,412
...for the first time
in program history,
189
00:10:46,847 --> 00:10:50,117
we are headed to our first
national title game.
190
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:52,085
[cheering]
191
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:56,790
All of you in this room,
192
00:10:56,924 --> 00:10:59,760
you have supported,
pushed and prodded,
193
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:02,362
and sometimes much,
much worse.
194
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,798
[laughing]
But I appreciate it.
195
00:11:04,932 --> 00:11:07,034
That's how you grow.
196
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:10,570
And I appreciate the opportunity
to have presided over this,
197
00:11:10,704 --> 00:11:14,507
to help young men
become champions
198
00:11:14,641 --> 00:11:16,777
on and off
the football field.
199
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:18,245
Go, Pack!
200
00:11:18,378 --> 00:11:20,380
[cheering]
201
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:24,484
[music playing on speakers]
[indistinct chattering]
202
00:11:30,490 --> 00:11:32,893
You're seriously pressing
your bet again?
203
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:35,162
Half a million dollars?
204
00:11:35,295 --> 00:11:37,564
Come on, Roger, you know me.
It's for the title.
205
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:40,167
Go big or go home,
and I ain't fucking leaving.
206
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:43,370
Well, the apple sure
didn't fall far
from the tree with you.
207
00:11:43,503 --> 00:11:45,538
God bless
your daddy's soul.
208
00:11:45,672 --> 00:11:49,009
Old Fred used to like to
bet the house in Vegas.
[chuckles]
209
00:11:49,142 --> 00:11:51,178
He just liked
the free drinks.
Well, hear, hear.
210
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:53,580
Question is,
how in the glorious hell
211
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:55,348
are we gonna stop
Cecil Burgess?
212
00:11:55,482 --> 00:11:57,184
Fastest I seen
since Herschel.
213
00:11:57,317 --> 00:11:58,618
It's me,
214
00:11:58,752 --> 00:12:00,420
I'm flooding the gaps,
215
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,489
bringing Mack
from the strong side
216
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:05,058
and feeding Cornelius
raw meat till kickoff.
217
00:12:05,192 --> 00:12:07,427
Or we break in his room
and Tonya Harding
that son of a bitch.
218
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,930
Now, aren't you sweet?
[chuckles]
219
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:11,932
Well, as long as we got
LeMarcus back there
220
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:14,234
firing bullets,
we'll be fine--
better than fine.
221
00:12:14,367 --> 00:12:16,870
Coach, we was just talking
about LeMarcus.
222
00:12:17,004 --> 00:12:18,171
LeMarcus who?
223
00:12:18,305 --> 00:12:19,706
[laughter]
But I'll tell you what,
224
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,075
he was pretty raw
when we found him,
225
00:12:22,209 --> 00:12:26,179
and obviously, he's
developed into something
really, really special.
226
00:12:26,313 --> 00:12:29,616
You think you can convince him
he ain't ready to jump
for another year?
227
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:31,952
I'm just gonna support
whatever is best for LeMarcus.
228
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:33,854
[Rodger] Amen.
[Taylor] Coach,
I got a kid in Little Rock.
229
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:35,923
Hell of an arm. Got to show
you some videos of him.
230
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:38,725
[Coach Lazor] Love to see it.
You remember
the bad old days
231
00:12:38,859 --> 00:12:40,794
when we were scraping
the bottom of the barrel,
232
00:12:40,928 --> 00:12:44,431
begging JUCO transfers
with cases of Budweiser
233
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,066
and jobs
with the dealership?
234
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:48,101
[Coach Lazor]
Yeah, all too well.
235
00:12:48,235 --> 00:12:50,303
[Taylor] And all that changed
once you got LeMarcus.
[Rodger] Bullshit.
236
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:52,339
All that changed
when we got Coach here.
237
00:12:52,472 --> 00:12:54,274
Hey, Coach.
Kevin McDonald.
Hi, Kevin.
238
00:12:54,407 --> 00:12:55,809
Director of Communication
for the CFP.
239
00:12:55,943 --> 00:12:57,544
Good to meet you,
and thanks for everything.
240
00:12:57,677 --> 00:13:01,014
Sure. Uh, we may have
a situation.
241
00:13:01,148 --> 00:13:04,317
LeMarcus just tweeted this
earlier tonight.
242
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:08,421
It says he's boycotting
the game.
243
00:13:08,555 --> 00:13:11,091
Reporters are
already swarming.
244
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:13,793
We're trying to keep them
off the players' floor.
245
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:16,596
Can probably do that
till morning,
246
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:18,665
but this can get
out of hand fast.
247
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,433
It won't.
Give me 20 minutes.
248
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,476
Guys, I'll see you right back.
[chuckles]
249
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:41,889
Hey.
250
00:13:43,290 --> 00:13:44,657
Hi.
251
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:48,395
A poet at a football game.
252
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:51,865
Philosopher
at a football game.
253
00:13:51,999 --> 00:13:54,134
[both chuckle]
Anyway...
254
00:13:57,204 --> 00:13:58,939
You look fantastic.
255
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,709
[chuckles]
256
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:05,812
Scotty, we sure
this is the room?
Yeah, Coach.
257
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:08,181
Okay, and they were here
at bed check?
258
00:14:08,315 --> 00:14:10,683
Yeah, they're marked off.
What the fuck does that mean,
"They're marked off"?
259
00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:13,220
Did somebody see 'em?
No. But I spoke to LJ
on the phone.
260
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,288
What the fuck?
You ain't seen nobody...
261
00:14:15,422 --> 00:14:17,357
You don't do bed check
on the goddamn telephone.
262
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:19,426
You check the goddamn bed.
For Christ's sake.
263
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,229
Goddamn it!
Bailey's got my phone.
264
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:24,497
Your work one.
Yes. Thank you.
265
00:14:24,631 --> 00:14:26,599
Jesus Christ, man.
We're in New Orleans.
266
00:14:26,733 --> 00:14:29,469
Walking distance
to the Quarter
with LeMarcus James.
267
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:33,273
You might want to actually check
that he's in bed at bed check.
268
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:35,542
When's the last time
did y'all see him?
Come on, now.
269
00:14:35,675 --> 00:14:37,710
Huh?
When he got off the bus.
270
00:14:37,844 --> 00:14:40,513
Hey, LeMarcus, it's Coach.
Just hit me back here
on the work cell, okay?
271
00:14:40,647 --> 00:14:42,349
If you're out and about,
no problem.
272
00:14:42,482 --> 00:14:44,384
Just, uh, checking in, okay?
273
00:14:44,517 --> 00:14:46,253
We'll see you
for a.m. sprints, man.
274
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:48,421
Goddamn it.
There's the guy
with the key, Coach.
275
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:49,957
I'm sorry.
276
00:14:50,090 --> 00:14:51,424
All right.
277
00:14:52,659 --> 00:14:53,826
[sighs]
278
00:14:53,961 --> 00:14:55,495
LeMarcus. Emmett.
279
00:14:57,597 --> 00:14:59,566
Goddamn it.
280
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:01,601
What the...
281
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:05,438
Well, I guess we just knock
on every goddamn door
at the hotel.
282
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,674
We got to find him.
Let's go. Go, go, go.
283
00:15:07,807 --> 00:15:09,576
Wake everybody up
if you have to.
284
00:15:09,709 --> 00:15:11,011
Shit.
285
00:15:11,144 --> 00:15:13,813
[indistinct conversations]
286
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:25,358
[Coach Dunn]
Come on, Cornelius,
open up the door. Hey.
287
00:15:25,492 --> 00:15:27,927
Fuck. Hold on.
[bottle clinks]
288
00:15:29,196 --> 00:15:30,763
What do you want, Coach?
289
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:34,434
What the fuck
is that smell?
290
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:36,769
That's Payton's ass
after Popeyes.
291
00:15:38,071 --> 00:15:41,141
There something you need?
Look, have you
seen LeMarcus?
292
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:43,143
Why the fuck
would I know where he's at?
293
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,412
What's going on?
It's nothing for you
to worry about.
294
00:15:45,545 --> 00:15:47,414
Just be ready for sprints
in the morning.
295
00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:49,482
Nasty-ass kids.
296
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,368
[LeMarcus] Yo, Orlando.
297
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:12,972
How drunk are you, man?
298
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,942
I haven't drank
in four months.
299
00:16:16,076 --> 00:16:17,177
Where's your phone?
300
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:19,912
In the room, like you asked.
301
00:16:20,047 --> 00:16:22,015
But what the fuck
is this, LJ?
302
00:16:22,849 --> 00:16:24,817
It's exactly what I said.
303
00:16:24,951 --> 00:16:26,753
I ain't playing
until they pay us.
304
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:28,488
What? You broke again?
305
00:16:28,621 --> 00:16:31,058
You hurt?
I'm done.
306
00:16:31,191 --> 00:16:34,161
They're here making billions
while the rest of us
make scraps.
307
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:38,131
Me and you, we could sell
our names. What about
everybody else, huh?
308
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:41,068
Whoa. Wait, wait, wait.
309
00:16:41,201 --> 00:16:43,136
Hold up, hold up.
310
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:47,174
So you gonna sit
the national title game
311
00:16:47,307 --> 00:16:49,442
so some punt-coverage
Wayne Burnett gets...
312
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:52,112
A real piece, yeah.
[chuckles]
313
00:16:53,613 --> 00:16:54,847
Shit.
314
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:58,685
LJ, you need
to think about this, bruh.
315
00:16:58,818 --> 00:17:00,520
You and crazy-
Bible-Belt-Sunday
316
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:02,355
gonna get laughed
out the building.
317
00:17:02,489 --> 00:17:04,691
And if you're lucky, what?
You gonna post on Twitter,
318
00:17:04,824 --> 00:17:08,161
and the whole fucking
machine gonna go,
"Okay, okay. We give up.
319
00:17:08,295 --> 00:17:11,531
LeMarcus doesn't want to play.
Let's just make him happy."
320
00:17:11,664 --> 00:17:14,901
I ain't who you think I am.
[scoffs]
321
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:18,905
So you weren't the one
who gave us all 'Rona
322
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:22,175
after fucking
half the campus
during quarantine?
323
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:24,111
You ain't tested
with your own piss
in three years.
324
00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:27,680
All your cash going up in smoke
or to that shit in your ears.
325
00:17:27,814 --> 00:17:29,716
So you standing on stage
for one protest
326
00:17:29,849 --> 00:17:32,152
for Instagram and pussy
327
00:17:32,285 --> 00:17:34,354
don't make you Malcolm X,
brother.
328
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:37,224
Ain't nobody marching
in the streets
329
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:39,226
for the number one pick.
330
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,528
[sighs]
331
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:47,033
Look, man,
you're a great quarterback--
332
00:17:47,167 --> 00:17:48,701
and I'm gonna keep it 100
with you:
333
00:17:48,835 --> 00:17:50,270
one of the best
I've ever seen.
334
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:51,938
But this shit?
335
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:55,475
Uh-uh.
336
00:17:56,843 --> 00:17:58,645
You gonna embarrass
yourself, bruh.
337
00:18:01,948 --> 00:18:04,451
Look, man, you ain't
gotta come with me.
338
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:07,420
All I'm asking is that
you don't come out against me.
339
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,457
[sighs]
340
00:18:13,193 --> 00:18:14,461
All right.
341
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,496
I'll watch this show
as long as you want,
342
00:18:16,629 --> 00:18:18,731
but I ain't gettin'
a hundred yards from it.
343
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,510
Good luck.
344
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,120
[country music playing
on speaker]
345
00:18:41,254 --> 00:18:43,256
[heavy breathing]
346
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:59,672
Mmm, I cannot believe
that you are here,
347
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:01,140
you little sneak.
348
00:19:01,274 --> 00:19:02,642
[chuckles]
349
00:19:02,775 --> 00:19:04,944
You know
you love surprises.
350
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:06,979
I do. I do.
351
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:08,615
I just...
352
00:19:08,748 --> 00:19:11,184
I just wish you had a seat
next to me at the game.
353
00:19:11,318 --> 00:19:13,353
That's not exactly
the reason I came.
354
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,888
[laughs]
Fine by me.
355
00:19:17,290 --> 00:19:18,691
[sighs]
356
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:23,296
I'm gonna take the job.
357
00:19:24,397 --> 00:19:26,299
Get a break
from the university.
358
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:29,669
Rome?
359
00:19:31,204 --> 00:19:34,140
Hard to turn down
a year teaching abroad.
360
00:19:34,274 --> 00:19:35,908
Yeah.
361
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:39,145
Yeah, I get that.
I totally get that.
362
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:46,219
I just had one little,
tiny little question,
Mr. Poet.
363
00:19:48,721 --> 00:19:51,224
Or is it "philosopher"?
364
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:54,394
What about us?
365
00:19:55,795 --> 00:19:57,730
We're a hotel-room
romance.
366
00:19:57,864 --> 00:19:59,399
Well, now you're just
being a dick.
367
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:01,868
You know
what I'm saying.
Fuck you.
368
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:03,436
Come visit.
369
00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:05,905
"Come visit." Grazie.
370
00:20:06,906 --> 00:20:08,741
[chuckles]
371
00:20:14,113 --> 00:20:15,482
I don't know.
372
00:20:17,484 --> 00:20:19,018
Maybe I want more.
373
00:20:36,836 --> 00:20:38,237
[coughs]
374
00:20:39,339 --> 00:20:40,673
[sniffles]
375
00:20:42,509 --> 00:20:43,610
You all right?
376
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:45,912
Fucking nerves, man.
377
00:20:47,213 --> 00:20:48,715
Just breathe through it.
378
00:20:50,683 --> 00:20:53,320
You got this.
You're fresh as ever.
379
00:21:04,431 --> 00:21:07,334
Habibi, this is a long way
to Frenchmen Street.
380
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:09,636
Yeah, we like taking in
the sights, Ned.
381
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,738
[Ned] Okay. Your money.
382
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:13,873
[coughing]
383
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,002
We're sure
walking the talk now.
384
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:44,837
What, you want out?
385
00:21:44,971 --> 00:21:46,773
Shit, I'm going
back to the farm.
386
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:49,175
You're the one who's got
everything to lose.
387
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:51,177
[sighs]
388
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:53,145
Glad we huddled
up on that.
389
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:58,317
Keep her running, Ned.
We may have to dine and dash.
390
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,088
[grunts]
391
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:04,891
LeMarcus, Cathy Levy.
Nice to meet you.
392
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:07,460
Yeah, nice to meet you.
This is Em.
Are you okay?
393
00:22:07,594 --> 00:22:10,697
Peachy, yeah. Just, uh,
ankle gets a little stiff
if I sit too long.
394
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,298
Thanks for agreeing
to do this.
395
00:22:12,432 --> 00:22:14,501
Are you kidding?
Thanks for calling.
396
00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:17,336
[indistinct chattering]
397
00:22:19,005 --> 00:22:21,541
Whenever you're ready,
go ahead and take
a seat for me.
398
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:23,843
Holy shit.
399
00:22:25,778 --> 00:22:27,647
Damn, you look good
ten stories high.
400
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,216
Just had to put that
in the background, huh?
401
00:22:33,453 --> 00:22:34,854
Here goes nothing.
402
00:22:34,987 --> 00:22:36,355
Go get 'em.
403
00:22:40,827 --> 00:22:42,429
Wait, wait.
404
00:22:46,766 --> 00:22:48,401
[sighs]
[Cathy] You ready?
405
00:22:49,335 --> 00:22:50,970
We're recording.
406
00:23:01,147 --> 00:23:02,749
[coughs, clears throat]
407
00:23:04,116 --> 00:23:05,317
[sniffles]
408
00:23:05,452 --> 00:23:07,687
"I'm personally asking
all players
409
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,556
in Monday's
national title game
410
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:11,791
to join me in this protest
411
00:23:11,924 --> 00:23:13,526
and resulting boycott,
412
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:16,228
in order to demand that
the NCAA and its affiliates
413
00:23:16,362 --> 00:23:19,866
end their practice
of unpaid labor for the
majority of their workforce,
414
00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:24,704
a practice which results
in $18.9 billion a year
in total revenue
415
00:23:24,837 --> 00:23:26,606
for a system which,
in turn,
416
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:30,076
only spends $3.6 billion
on athletic scholarships."
417
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:35,281
Where does the other 15-plus
billion dollars go, you ask?
418
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:36,883
Well, I'll tell you:
419
00:23:37,016 --> 00:23:39,218
to an extremely lucrative
oligarchy.
420
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,221
"The president of the NCAA
421
00:23:42,354 --> 00:23:45,458
received a salary
of $3.9 million last year.
422
00:23:45,592 --> 00:23:47,927
The commissioners
of the top five
power conferences
423
00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:51,197
receive an average salary
of $4 million each year.
424
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:53,232
The latest ESPN contract
for TV rights
425
00:23:53,365 --> 00:23:54,834
to the college football
play-offs
426
00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:58,471
is $7.3 billion
over the next 12 years."
427
00:23:58,605 --> 00:24:02,875
That's over $600 million
a year for three games.
428
00:24:03,009 --> 00:24:06,078
That's the reason
they're expanding
the play-offs to 12 games.
429
00:24:08,715 --> 00:24:09,816
[sighs]
430
00:24:12,218 --> 00:24:15,287
My coach, James Lazor,
431
00:24:15,421 --> 00:24:17,924
receives an annual salary
of $5 million,
432
00:24:18,057 --> 00:24:20,459
plus up to a million dollars
in on-the-field bonuses,
433
00:24:20,593 --> 00:24:22,829
including
the national title game.
434
00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:24,831
You see, all of this money
435
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:28,167
is predicated on one
underlying principle:
436
00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:30,970
free labor.
437
00:24:31,103 --> 00:24:33,105
It is un-American,
it is exploitative,
438
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:35,942
and it speaks
to the darkest spots
in the national soul.
439
00:24:36,075 --> 00:24:39,779
Now, it is not enough
for some of us to be able
to use our name and likeness,
440
00:24:39,912 --> 00:24:42,849
which, make no mistake,
costs them nothing.
441
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,117
So our demands
are as follows:
442
00:24:46,586 --> 00:24:48,154
"One,
443
00:24:48,287 --> 00:24:50,489
the creation
of non-revocable,
player-controlled trusts
444
00:24:50,623 --> 00:24:52,759
for every Division I
varsity athlete.
445
00:24:52,892 --> 00:24:55,261
Number two,
the NCAA will form
446
00:24:55,394 --> 00:24:57,697
and contribute
to a player's
disability pension
447
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:59,365
for Division I athletes
448
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:01,568
who are injured
from college athletics."
449
00:25:01,701 --> 00:25:03,803
Shit.
"And number three,
450
00:25:03,936 --> 00:25:05,805
the NCAA will
officially recognize
451
00:25:05,938 --> 00:25:08,174
and collectively bargain
with the players' union,
452
00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:11,477
submitting to all
federally mandated laws
and guidelines
453
00:25:11,611 --> 00:25:13,746
of a unionized workforce."
454
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,750
In this, the NCAA
will recognize players
455
00:25:17,884 --> 00:25:21,187
as employees
and not student athletes.
456
00:25:22,622 --> 00:25:24,190
Thank you.
457
00:25:27,159 --> 00:25:28,194
[sighs]
458
00:25:39,105 --> 00:25:41,240
[clears throat, sniffles]
459
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:44,176
He said he'd be
right over, so...
460
00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:45,578
[smacks lips]
461
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:47,847
Got a lot on his plate.
462
00:25:47,980 --> 00:25:49,448
[door opens]
463
00:25:49,582 --> 00:25:50,883
Hey, there he is.
464
00:25:51,017 --> 00:25:52,885
All right.
Good morning, Coach.
465
00:25:53,019 --> 00:25:56,656
Thanks for coming over
so quick. This is
Wes Martin from the Big 12.
466
00:25:56,789 --> 00:25:58,958
He's gonna be our enemy for
the next 48 hours.
[chuckles]
467
00:25:59,091 --> 00:26:01,460
-Kevin McDonald from the CFP.
-We met yesterday.
468
00:26:01,594 --> 00:26:05,131
And Mike Titus, Senior VP,
Championships, D-I football.
469
00:26:05,264 --> 00:26:06,699
James, we've actually met.
470
00:26:06,833 --> 00:26:09,035
Yeah, at the Outback Bowl
two seasons ago.
471
00:26:09,168 --> 00:26:12,071
That's right.
You have come a long way.
Looks like you have too.
472
00:26:12,204 --> 00:26:14,907
[chuckles] Yes, indeed.
Please have a seat.
473
00:26:15,041 --> 00:26:16,809
Real, uh...
474
00:26:16,943 --> 00:26:19,779
Real mess we got here.
[Coach Lazor]
Well, not really.
475
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:22,248
I just need to
get with LeMarcus
and talk things through.
476
00:26:22,381 --> 00:26:24,784
These kids don't
fully understand
what they're doing.
477
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,186
A coach and his quarterback.
No closer bond.
478
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:30,623
You were
a quarterback yourself
back in the day, am I right?
479
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:32,925
Coaches are just players
who can't play anymore.
480
00:26:33,860 --> 00:26:35,427
You still don't know
where he is?
481
00:26:35,561 --> 00:26:37,563
What?
[Kevin]
Where LeMarcus is.
482
00:26:37,697 --> 00:26:40,199
We're broadcasting this game
in 160 countries.
483
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:42,802
They're all tuning in
to watch him go
against Cecil Burgess.
484
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:45,604
I love these marketing guys.
You know that LeMarcus and Cecil
485
00:26:45,738 --> 00:26:48,440
both play offense,
so they won't be facing off.
486
00:26:48,574 --> 00:26:51,443
I know how
the game works, Coach.
Look, LeMarcus is around.
487
00:26:51,577 --> 00:26:53,212
He's probably
in the hotel somewhere.
488
00:26:53,345 --> 00:26:55,447
I just haven't had a chance
to get with him yet.
489
00:26:57,850 --> 00:27:01,353
Coach, I think it's best
if the NCAA took
the reins here.
490
00:27:01,487 --> 00:27:03,923
We're more of an impartial jury.
We just want a great game.
491
00:27:04,056 --> 00:27:06,859
Well, I think that's what
all of us want, right?
Yes, it is.
492
00:27:06,993 --> 00:27:10,730
That's why we were hoping
you could shed some light
on this young man.
493
00:27:10,863 --> 00:27:12,999
LeMarcus.
What's his character?
494
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:14,901
He's a good kid.
495
00:27:15,034 --> 00:27:18,004
He's just, uh--
Like a lot of kids his age,
496
00:27:18,137 --> 00:27:20,940
maybe he's a little too fond
of the spotlight and its perks.
497
00:27:21,073 --> 00:27:23,843
Hell, if I was
the best QB in the country,
I think I'd be bouncin' 'em
498
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:26,445
out of my apartment
three at a time, huh?
499
00:27:26,578 --> 00:27:29,415
[Coach Lazor] LeMarcus
is not a troublemaker, okay?
500
00:27:29,548 --> 00:27:33,485
I want to be
very clear on this.
LeMarcus is a good person.
501
00:27:34,553 --> 00:27:37,790
He's just a kid
with too much power
502
00:27:37,924 --> 00:27:40,492
who, I don't know,
had a bad tweet.
503
00:27:40,626 --> 00:27:43,095
-And interview.
-[person clears throat]
Okay.
504
00:27:43,229 --> 00:27:45,531
Well, you know,
Coach is gonna right
this ship.
505
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:47,499
He just needs
a little more time, right?
[Coach Lazor] Yep.
506
00:27:47,633 --> 00:27:50,903
-[Kevin] You think
somebody got to him?
-"Somebody"?
507
00:27:51,037 --> 00:27:53,840
Like an organized labor rep,
an ACLU lawyer?
508
00:27:53,973 --> 00:27:55,507
Maybe the Russians.
509
00:27:57,309 --> 00:28:00,012
That's a fucking joke, guys.
Huh. Come on, guys.
510
00:28:00,146 --> 00:28:03,182
Look, LeMarcus, from sixth,
seventh grade on,
511
00:28:03,315 --> 00:28:05,084
they're big men on campus.
512
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:07,887
He and Emmett,
they still think
this is playtime here.
513
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,989
They don't understand
the world stage.
514
00:28:10,122 --> 00:28:12,158
They don't understand
the implications here.
515
00:28:12,291 --> 00:28:13,826
They just asked
to collectively bargain.
516
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,195
They want to destroy
the student-athlete
designation.
517
00:28:16,328 --> 00:28:18,865
Not the demands of some kids
spitting in the wind.
518
00:28:18,998 --> 00:28:20,399
You telling me I don't
know my own players?
519
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,068
I'm saying
you might be in denial
520
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:23,770
about what is actually
happening right now.
521
00:28:23,903 --> 00:28:25,604
Come on, Wes.
That's over the line.
522
00:28:25,738 --> 00:28:27,673
[Wes] Is it?
Yes, it is.
523
00:28:27,807 --> 00:28:30,576
Coach, what they're
asking for is bigger
than football or one game.
524
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,144
Understood.
It's our entire
amateur athletics program
525
00:28:32,278 --> 00:28:33,813
in the country.
526
00:28:33,946 --> 00:28:37,750
That's 24 sports
for young men and women,
gone.
527
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,286
Hundreds of thousands
of students,
528
00:28:40,419 --> 00:28:41,720
student athletes,
529
00:28:41,854 --> 00:28:44,423
being denied
a college experience.
530
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:47,726
[Kevin]
We're 40-somethin' hours
to kickoff here, guys.
531
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,661
We need to make sure
everybody's suiting up.
532
00:28:49,796 --> 00:28:51,798
There hasn't been a single
defection from our side.
533
00:28:51,931 --> 00:28:53,800
It's theirs
that's falling apart.
[cell phone chimes]
534
00:28:53,933 --> 00:28:55,902
Hey. Nothing's
falling apart.
535
00:28:56,035 --> 00:28:58,004
Okay? Everybody relax
a little bit.
536
00:28:58,137 --> 00:29:00,773
-[Wes] Three wide receivers
just tweeted, "We're in."
-[men sighing]
537
00:29:00,907 --> 00:29:04,276
With a hashtag that's going
viral: "Fix the system."
538
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:07,947
Your other two stars,
Bishop and Cornelius,
could be next.
539
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,616
Orlando Bishop
is my one and only captain.
540
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,419
He is team first.
He's not going anywhere.
541
00:29:13,552 --> 00:29:16,688
And Cornelius, frankly,
can't stand LeMarcus.
542
00:29:16,823 --> 00:29:19,225
He wouldn't follow him
into the Garden of Eden.
He'll play.
543
00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:23,462
One linebacker
ain't plugging this hole.
You're taking on water fast.
544
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:25,932
Hey! He got blindsided
just like the rest of us,
all right?
545
00:29:26,065 --> 00:29:28,334
There's no reason
to keep attacking him.
546
00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:30,236
Here's an idea.
547
00:29:30,369 --> 00:29:33,472
Lean on the sophomores
and freshmen who have
something to lose.
548
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:36,242
They won't want to risk
the eligibility over this.
549
00:29:37,143 --> 00:29:38,911
You'd love that,
wouldn't you, Wes?
550
00:29:39,045 --> 00:29:41,613
We all know I can't field
a competitive team
551
00:29:41,747 --> 00:29:44,483
with a bunch of 18-year-olds
that haven't played
552
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:47,119
a meaningful snap
since high school.
553
00:29:47,253 --> 00:29:50,056
Fuck that. I'd rather not
field a team at all.
554
00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:53,759
I'm afraid
that's not an option.
555
00:29:57,830 --> 00:30:00,833
We wouldn't need any options
if I could get with
my quarterback
556
00:30:00,967 --> 00:30:04,003
instead of sitting around
this circle jerk.
557
00:30:06,205 --> 00:30:08,207
[clears throat]
Thanks for coming, Coach.
558
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:09,641
You bet.
559
00:30:10,776 --> 00:30:13,212
-Thanks for coming down.
-Don't lecture my guy.
560
00:30:13,345 --> 00:30:16,315
Thought you had your conference
under control, Everly.
We got nothin'.
561
00:30:16,448 --> 00:30:19,185
-[Everly] We got time.
-[Wes] Time is the one thing
we don't have.
562
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:21,687
[Everly]
We got a little bit.
We'll be fine.
563
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,362
All right.
The Death Star awaits.
564
00:30:30,496 --> 00:30:32,498
The Cougars are staying
on the 17th floor.
565
00:30:32,631 --> 00:30:34,133
There's a stairway
around the back.
566
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,935
Let's go get this done
and get out of here.
567
00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:38,004
Keep it running, Ned.
We'll be back in 20.
568
00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:40,172
[hip-hop music playing]
[person] Eat, nigga, eat!
569
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:42,341
[knock on door]
I'm nice. I'm nice.
570
00:30:42,474 --> 00:30:45,978
Watch this bucket
right here. Bucket!
[pounding on door]
571
00:30:46,112 --> 00:30:47,146
Hold on.
572
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:48,981
Hey, don't fuckin' cheat.
573
00:30:51,083 --> 00:30:53,152
Hello, Roc.
Emmett Sunday, esquire.
574
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,022
You may know me
from such hits
575
00:30:56,155 --> 00:30:57,890
as Last Stand
at the Texas Stadium,
576
00:30:58,024 --> 00:30:59,825
Destruction
at the Peach Bowl...
That's not funny.
577
00:30:59,959 --> 00:31:02,294
I'm number 82.
Yeah, the tight end.
What the fuck do you want?
578
00:31:02,428 --> 00:31:04,530
The one and only.
Mind if I come in
for a sec? Thanks.
579
00:31:04,663 --> 00:31:06,465
Hold on. You just gonna
walk in my room like that?
580
00:31:06,598 --> 00:31:08,500
Cecil, what's going on, man?
Emmett Sunday. How you doing?
581
00:31:08,634 --> 00:31:11,270
Just gonna turn on--
Why you turning
on my light like that?
582
00:31:11,403 --> 00:31:14,373
-I'm just gonna
turn off this TV.
-Yo, white boy. [sighs]
583
00:31:14,506 --> 00:31:17,843
Chill out and let me know
why the fuck you in my room
before I fight you.
584
00:31:17,977 --> 00:31:20,146
Cecil, you mind
if I show you something
for a second?
585
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:22,181
-It may help make my case.
-All right, man, go ahead.
586
00:31:22,314 --> 00:31:24,250
He's been replying
real quick. Hold on.
587
00:31:24,383 --> 00:31:26,552
Yeah, there you go.
Hold on.
588
00:31:26,685 --> 00:31:28,587
Nah, nah, nah.
This way first.
589
00:31:30,522 --> 00:31:33,225
Get the fuck out of here.
I ain't fucking with you.
590
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:35,427
Yo, this is LeBron, nigga.
Look.
That's LeBron.
591
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:37,396
LeBron DM'd these fucks.
That's the king.
592
00:31:37,529 --> 00:31:39,431
Oh, shit! He just said
"What's up?" to you.
593
00:31:39,565 --> 00:31:41,033
Yeah, 'cause
he knows you're here.
594
00:31:41,167 --> 00:31:43,235
How the fuck you get
LeBron to DM you?
595
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:45,104
We're buddies, man.
And I was thinking,
596
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:47,206
Clutch just started
a new football division
to rep,
597
00:31:47,339 --> 00:31:50,676
and I was thinking, hell,
maybe I just put in
a good word for you two.
598
00:31:50,809 --> 00:31:54,380
Fly over to LA,
the land of big lips,
fake tits, and sunshine.
599
00:31:54,513 --> 00:31:56,282
I love fake titties.
I know. Me too.
600
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:58,717
And you sit down
with LeBron and Maverick
and have a conversation.
601
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:02,454
Grab lunch with LeBron in LA?
You know I love tacos, nigga.
Hold on. How we do that?
602
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,856
It's a little weird.
I need your phones.
603
00:32:04,991 --> 00:32:06,892
-My phone?
-I just need your phone.
604
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:11,563
Fuck it.
Hey, it's LeBron. Here.
605
00:32:11,697 --> 00:32:13,765
Come on,
give him your phone.
Come on, Cecil.
606
00:32:13,899 --> 00:32:16,302
I ain't gonna do
anything weird with it.
Come on.
607
00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:17,970
You can keep my phone
as collateral.
608
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,639
Collateral and shit.
I'ma pocket this bitch.
609
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:21,807
Don't move.
610
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:24,410
Yeah. Yeah.
611
00:32:24,543 --> 00:32:26,778
Bruh, LeBron.
LeBron, though.
[Emmett whistles]
612
00:32:26,912 --> 00:32:28,514
What's happening, fellas?
613
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:32,151
Surprise, surprise.
Shit.
614
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:35,454
-Not LeBron.
-So, what's up?
I know y'all seen it.
615
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:37,789
Yeah, we seen it.
[LeMarcus]
What y'all think?
616
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:39,825
Hoping y'all gonna join us.
617
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:42,561
And skip out
on the title game?
618
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:43,962
Man, you out
your fucking mind.
619
00:32:44,096 --> 00:32:46,032
[Roc] For real.
[LeMarcus] Yeah, probably.
620
00:32:46,165 --> 00:32:48,267
It's gonna take
a little crazy to get
it done though, ain't it?
621
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,170
Yeah, but he's Kiper's
number one back.
622
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:53,105
Going eighth to Baltimore
at the latest.
623
00:32:53,239 --> 00:32:55,307
He ain't risking that
fucking with y'all.
624
00:32:55,441 --> 00:32:57,409
Hmm. Buffalo should
take him at three.
625
00:32:57,543 --> 00:33:00,379
-They're going tackle.
-Maybe Miami gets smart
and takes you at one.
626
00:33:00,512 --> 00:33:03,715
-Then where you gonna go?
-Me? Shit.
CFL after this, probably.
627
00:33:03,849 --> 00:33:05,451
-[snorts]
-[LeMarcus chuckles]
628
00:33:05,584 --> 00:33:07,353
Yeah, Saskatchewan
or some shit like that.
629
00:33:07,486 --> 00:33:10,256
[Roc] Saskatchewan?
Listen.
630
00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:13,292
They're still gonna find
a way to play this game
without me and Emmett.
631
00:33:14,493 --> 00:33:16,128
We gonna need you.
632
00:33:16,262 --> 00:33:18,464
The Haitian Hammer,
running wild on all those
TV promos.
633
00:33:18,597 --> 00:33:21,400
Come watch him put up
500 yards in a single game.
Hell, I'd go to see it.
634
00:33:21,533 --> 00:33:23,135
Yeah, maybe then he goes
number one.
635
00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:25,371
But if he sits, they gonna
Kaepernick him like you.
636
00:33:25,504 --> 00:33:28,040
Hmm.
Come on, bruh. You might
fall out the first round.
637
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:30,476
Do y'all even know
what the rookie minimum
is down there?
638
00:33:30,609 --> 00:33:33,979
Probably not, but they
taking backs in the third
or fourth round nowadays.
639
00:33:34,113 --> 00:33:35,547
Four years and done,
we're back in the hood.
640
00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:38,450
That is why we gotta stick
together on this, fellas.
641
00:33:38,584 --> 00:33:40,486
Think about it.
642
00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:42,154
If we all sit,
what are they gonna do?
643
00:33:42,288 --> 00:33:45,391
Hmm? It's called
collective action.
644
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:47,659
Fuck you learn
a big word like that?
645
00:33:48,727 --> 00:33:50,162
Intro to Organized Labor.
646
00:33:50,296 --> 00:33:53,365
[scoffs] A class?
He talking 'bout a class.
647
00:33:53,499 --> 00:33:56,902
[chuckles] Only class
you probably took was Intro
to Organized Dick-sucking.
648
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:59,538
-Flap your gums
'cause you're scared.
-Scared of what? You?
649
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:01,507
Scared you're gonna be
teaching high-school PE
next year.
650
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,941
I know this is my last game,
same as you.
651
00:34:03,075 --> 00:34:05,010
Fuck you.
I'm playing in the League.
652
00:34:05,144 --> 00:34:07,579
[LeMarcus] Hey, look,
we ain't come here
for all that, all right?
653
00:34:07,713 --> 00:34:10,015
Look, me and E are serious
about this.
654
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:14,186
We just came here
to let y'all know.
655
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,888
Sleep on it. Pray on it.
656
00:34:17,022 --> 00:34:19,425
-Look, I appreciate y'all.
-Yeah. All right, yeah.
657
00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:21,460
All right.
658
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:24,730
No hard feelings.
Yeah, no hard feelings.
659
00:34:24,863 --> 00:34:26,898
Collective action.
660
00:34:27,032 --> 00:34:30,702
Man, I hope we get
to play those guys.
Go ahead, Ned.
661
00:34:30,836 --> 00:34:33,539
If we don't get Cecil
on board, we're gonna
need the whole squad,
662
00:34:33,672 --> 00:34:35,040
or we ain't
playing shit.
663
00:34:35,174 --> 00:34:37,409
We get the younger guys,
Orlando will come too.
664
00:34:38,844 --> 00:34:40,679
Hey, get
Bob Reynolds a note.
665
00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:43,048
Tell him we'll give him
the exclusive.
666
00:34:43,182 --> 00:34:44,583
Copy that.
667
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:52,057
Wonder how many of these
we've gone through already.
668
00:34:52,191 --> 00:34:54,826
[siren whoops]
[crowd cheering]
669
00:34:59,398 --> 00:35:01,099
We don't want
nobody to know.
670
00:35:01,233 --> 00:35:02,768
The press or anybody.
We don't even know
that he sits.
671
00:35:02,901 --> 00:35:04,703
Okay? Make sure
you keep them out.
672
00:35:04,836 --> 00:35:06,538
[crowd continues cheering]
673
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:35,133
We all present
and accounted for, Scotty?
Yes, sir.
674
00:35:36,902 --> 00:35:39,405
LeMarcus James,
for those of you
who are not familiar,
675
00:35:39,538 --> 00:35:41,173
won the Heisman Trophy
this year.
676
00:35:41,307 --> 00:35:43,575
Most famous player
in college football.
677
00:35:43,709 --> 00:35:45,744
Picture's 130 feet tall
across the street,
678
00:35:45,877 --> 00:35:48,314
and now you're telling me,
what, he's the fucking
Invisible Man?
679
00:35:48,447 --> 00:35:50,516
[Scotty] We're working
with hotel security, Coach.
680
00:35:50,649 --> 00:35:53,219
They went out a fire exit
without a camera.
That's how we lost 'em.
681
00:35:53,352 --> 00:35:56,154
Well, the media found him,
didn't they?
682
00:35:56,288 --> 00:35:58,457
I don't know.
Maybe I should ask
LeBron James for help
683
00:35:58,590 --> 00:36:00,659
instead of you
simple snowflakes,
684
00:36:00,792 --> 00:36:03,862
who I feed, clothe
and pay six figures a year.
685
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:05,864
Or get a free
top-tier education.
686
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:08,133
This is a fucking
manhunt.
687
00:36:08,267 --> 00:36:10,636
Find me LeMarcus James
and Emmett Sunday,
688
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:12,938
or I swear to God,
689
00:36:13,071 --> 00:36:16,375
the next coaching job
any of you get within
shitting distance of
690
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:20,312
is gonna be JV
at the fucking
Little Sisters of the Poor.
691
00:36:21,747 --> 00:36:24,383
Go! Get out there!
Go fucking find him, now!
692
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,652
We'll find him, Coach.
Goddamn it.
693
00:36:30,121 --> 00:36:31,890
[softly] Goddamn.
694
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,762
Come on, fellas.
Eat up.
695
00:36:37,496 --> 00:36:39,030
[LeMarcus scoffs]
696
00:36:39,164 --> 00:36:42,000
Y'all can hate me
all you want.
697
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:44,470
I ain't the one
y'all should be hatin'.
698
00:36:44,603 --> 00:36:47,673
Ain't me cashing out
on millions of dollars
a year
699
00:36:47,806 --> 00:36:50,676
while y'all can't pay rent,
can't put gas in y'all whips.
700
00:36:50,809 --> 00:36:52,844
If you even have a whip.
[scoffs]
701
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:55,046
For 55 years,
702
00:36:55,180 --> 00:36:58,417
guys like you ate, drank,
fucked and played ball.
703
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,686
We're just happy with
a free education, right?
704
00:37:00,819 --> 00:37:03,088
Nice free suit?
That shit'll keep us
happy, right?
705
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:05,391
They know how to get us.
But not no more, okay?
706
00:37:05,524 --> 00:37:07,726
This shit is capitalism
at its finest.
707
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:09,428
Greed at its worst.
708
00:37:09,561 --> 00:37:12,764
Everybody around us
got private jets
and private chefs,
709
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:15,501
and we can't even
accept a fucking
free meal as a gift.
710
00:37:15,634 --> 00:37:17,736
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
That pizza slice
right there,
711
00:37:17,869 --> 00:37:19,571
double fistin'
with them shits,
712
00:37:19,705 --> 00:37:22,073
that kid kicked out
of college twice. Shit.
713
00:37:22,207 --> 00:37:25,444
And we out there
every single day.
Blood, sweat and tears.
714
00:37:25,577 --> 00:37:27,045
You remember
your ankle, bro? Hmm?
715
00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:28,947
Remember when it swole up
like a watermelon?
716
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,750
They shot you up,
and they made you play,
didn't they? Huh?
717
00:37:31,883 --> 00:37:34,152
Think about how that shit
gonna make you feel
in 30 years.
718
00:37:34,286 --> 00:37:36,322
You ain't got no medical.
You got insurance?
719
00:37:36,455 --> 00:37:38,824
What you gonna fix
your broken body with, huh?
Duct tape?
720
00:37:38,957 --> 00:37:40,959
Gorilla Glue the shits
back together?
What we gonna do?
721
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:42,761
That's how y'all got to be
thinking about this.
722
00:37:42,894 --> 00:37:44,430
Where do we want to be
in 30 years from now?
723
00:37:44,563 --> 00:37:47,198
It starts right now.
It starts right here.
724
00:37:51,737 --> 00:37:53,104
Who bought
all this Pizza Hut?
725
00:37:57,242 --> 00:37:59,177
[LeMarcus] Look,
I'll be the first to say it.
726
00:37:59,311 --> 00:38:01,747
Lazor's taught me a lot
about more than just football.
727
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,650
But what I began to realize
is I was being brainwashed,
728
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,652
just like all of y'all.
729
00:38:06,785 --> 00:38:09,621
Scared of speaking up
because it was easy
to go along to get along.
730
00:38:09,755 --> 00:38:11,823
Don't let them tell you
there ain't enough
to go around.
731
00:38:11,957 --> 00:38:14,493
They got so much money,
they don't even know
where to put the shits.
732
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,094
Y'all okay with that?
733
00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:18,229
All right.
You okay with that?
734
00:38:18,364 --> 00:38:21,299
[person] Guys, don't think
this isn't a two-way street.
735
00:38:21,433 --> 00:38:23,335
Where do you green fucks
736
00:38:23,469 --> 00:38:27,272
think you're transferring to
if I bury your ass
on the pine?
737
00:38:27,406 --> 00:38:29,941
I own your future.
738
00:38:30,075 --> 00:38:33,612
Where the hell
is LeMarcus?
739
00:38:33,745 --> 00:38:35,681
Let's be real.
740
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:38,149
There are 12,500
draft-eligible players
741
00:38:38,283 --> 00:38:40,552
for the NFL
every single year,
742
00:38:40,686 --> 00:38:42,588
and only 300 of us
get drafted.
743
00:38:42,721 --> 00:38:44,990
That means
over 12,000 of us
744
00:38:45,123 --> 00:38:47,359
participate
in a multi-billion-
dollar industry
745
00:38:47,493 --> 00:38:48,994
that won't even give us
health insurance.
746
00:38:49,127 --> 00:38:51,630
And yet, they selling us
the pearly gates?
747
00:38:51,763 --> 00:38:53,632
Zed,
you got a resume?
748
00:38:53,765 --> 00:38:55,767
Internship? Why not?
749
00:38:55,901 --> 00:38:58,069
'Cause you been playing
D-I football for the last
three years, right?
750
00:38:58,203 --> 00:38:59,905
That's right.
And they make you work it
751
00:39:00,038 --> 00:39:02,641
like it's a full-time job,
don't they? That's right.
752
00:39:02,774 --> 00:39:05,544
What about all those bullshit
classes they make you take
to stay on the field, huh?
753
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:07,846
Hey, you remember
the Swahili shit
y'all was taking?
754
00:39:07,979 --> 00:39:11,049
Swahili? How do you say,
"Do you want fries with that?"
in Swahili?
755
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:14,219
Guess what, fellas.
When y'all get out there
in the real world,
756
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:16,187
out there in the jungle,
757
00:39:16,321 --> 00:39:17,989
it ain't no fun
when you broke as a joke.
758
00:39:18,123 --> 00:39:20,659
Tell us where he's at.
I'm taking it back.
759
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:23,695
He at the W,
stayin' under a fake name.
760
00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:25,531
Okay.
761
00:39:25,664 --> 00:39:27,332
Barack Gambino.
762
00:39:27,466 --> 00:39:30,101
Barack Gambino, man?
Seriously?
763
00:39:30,235 --> 00:39:31,537
Bank it.
764
00:39:33,405 --> 00:39:36,074
And even if it means
the death of me,
y'all can say,
765
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:40,245
"I got caught up
with that crazy motherfucker
and his dreams of glory.
766
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:42,380
And if I can do it,
then we can do it,
767
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:45,383
and we could set ourselves up
and future generations
to come.
768
00:39:45,517 --> 00:39:47,318
Tell 'em about the barn, LJ.
769
00:39:47,453 --> 00:39:49,921
'Cause there
is a barn in Galilee
with grain filled so high
770
00:39:50,055 --> 00:39:51,557
that they won't even
sell it all.
771
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:54,159
And you know what God says?
He says, "You poor fools.
772
00:39:54,292 --> 00:39:57,362
You may think that you're rich,
but you are poor
in the eyes of God."
773
00:39:57,496 --> 00:40:00,966
Why? Because
my people are hungry,
and your barn is full.
774
00:40:01,099 --> 00:40:03,735
-Make it plain!
-There is a barn in Galilee
775
00:40:03,869 --> 00:40:06,204
filled with grain,
and we out here starving.
776
00:40:06,337 --> 00:40:08,073
God is with us.
777
00:40:08,206 --> 00:40:11,577
He says
there is nothing to lose.
There is nothing to fear.
778
00:40:11,710 --> 00:40:15,547
I am here, and there is
nothing to fear!
779
00:40:18,684 --> 00:40:20,285
[panting]
780
00:40:25,056 --> 00:40:27,358
[upbeat country music playing]
781
00:40:34,299 --> 00:40:36,067
Boo.
[chuckles]
782
00:40:36,902 --> 00:40:38,236
Boo.
783
00:40:38,369 --> 00:40:40,472
[both chuckle]
784
00:40:40,606 --> 00:40:43,008
[upbeat country music
continues playing]
785
00:40:47,613 --> 00:40:49,080
Come with me.
786
00:40:49,214 --> 00:40:50,949
[chuckling]
787
00:40:51,082 --> 00:40:53,118
I plan to, baby.
788
00:40:55,353 --> 00:40:57,155
I mean it.
789
00:40:58,524 --> 00:40:59,991
Start a new chapter.
790
00:41:03,428 --> 00:41:05,631
You really
want me there?
791
00:41:07,398 --> 00:41:08,466
I do.
792
00:41:10,168 --> 00:41:11,503
[softly] Really?
793
00:41:44,603 --> 00:41:46,672
[all howl]
794
00:41:46,805 --> 00:41:48,574
[cheering]
795
00:41:48,707 --> 00:41:50,842
[announcer] Give it up
for French Montana!
796
00:41:50,976 --> 00:41:52,343
[hip-hop music playing]
797
00:41:52,477 --> 00:41:55,146
You like that?
You like that, baby?
798
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,481
That was for y'all.
799
00:41:57,448 --> 00:42:00,652
[howls]
800
00:42:00,786 --> 00:42:02,854
Keep 'em coming.
You got it.
801
00:42:02,988 --> 00:42:05,190
Hey, what's your hurry?
802
00:42:06,692 --> 00:42:09,160
Rodger.
Brett.
803
00:42:09,294 --> 00:42:12,163
I've been head of
the booster club since '98.
804
00:42:12,297 --> 00:42:15,066
You ever seen
a national title game
805
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,435
in your own luxury box,
Brett?
806
00:42:17,569 --> 00:42:18,937
No.
807
00:42:19,070 --> 00:42:23,041
Lobster, filet mignon,
blow.
808
00:42:23,174 --> 00:42:25,343
Whatever
your heart desires.
809
00:42:25,476 --> 00:42:26,745
It sounds awesome.
810
00:42:26,878 --> 00:42:30,515
You wanna come with?
I can get you a ticket.
811
00:42:30,649 --> 00:42:32,718
Are they even gonna play?
812
00:42:32,851 --> 00:42:37,055
Oh, they'll play.
Don't you worry your pretty
little head about that.
813
00:42:37,188 --> 00:42:40,959
Gonna find me
my quarterback,
and it'll be Easy Street.
814
00:42:43,261 --> 00:42:45,030
Five hundred dollars.
815
00:42:45,163 --> 00:42:47,098
And what does that
get me, Brett?
816
00:42:47,232 --> 00:42:49,234
A room number.
817
00:42:49,367 --> 00:42:51,136
What time
do you get off?
818
00:42:51,269 --> 00:42:53,271
[chuckles] Not mine.
819
00:42:56,407 --> 00:42:58,076
[knocking]
820
00:42:59,310 --> 00:43:01,579
[person]
LeMarcus. Emmett.
821
00:43:01,713 --> 00:43:02,848
[knocking]
822
00:43:02,981 --> 00:43:04,916
It's Rodger and Taylor.
Open up.
823
00:43:05,050 --> 00:43:06,918
[knocking continues]
[sighs]
824
00:43:07,052 --> 00:43:08,987
I guess we have
to get another room again.
825
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,756
[Rodgers] Hey!
826
00:43:10,889 --> 00:43:13,391
Just go get it
before they wake up
the whole hotel, man.
827
00:43:13,524 --> 00:43:15,593
[knocking continues]
828
00:43:16,527 --> 00:43:17,929
Shut up and get inside.
829
00:43:18,063 --> 00:43:20,265
Easy, big fella.
We come in peace.
830
00:43:22,533 --> 00:43:23,935
How the hell
did you find us?
831
00:43:24,069 --> 00:43:26,204
-A happy accident.
-What do you want?
832
00:43:26,337 --> 00:43:27,806
[Rodgers] Just to talk,
that's it.
833
00:43:27,939 --> 00:43:29,741
One minute,
and then we're gone.
834
00:43:29,875 --> 00:43:33,044
Hey, you look like hell.
You okay?
835
00:43:33,178 --> 00:43:34,780
We're owed.
836
00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:38,249
You are owed?
837
00:43:38,383 --> 00:43:40,585
Yes. We're owed.
838
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,522
Taylor.
What I think my associate
is trying to communicate here
839
00:43:44,656 --> 00:43:45,991
is that we're hurtin'.
840
00:43:46,124 --> 00:43:49,160
We feel like
we're invested here,
841
00:43:49,294 --> 00:43:51,863
especially after all
we've been through together.
842
00:43:51,997 --> 00:43:54,666
Because you loaned me a car?
843
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,601
And helped refinance
your mother's mortgage
844
00:43:56,735 --> 00:43:58,970
when she fell behind,
and also with your brother.
845
00:43:59,104 --> 00:44:02,741
-Should we talk
about the message--
-Don't... say another word.
846
00:44:05,243 --> 00:44:06,812
And don't do this.
847
00:44:06,945 --> 00:44:08,814
You don't give a shit
about us.
848
00:44:08,947 --> 00:44:12,317
-All you give a shit about
is your damn game.
-Now, now, now, Taylor.
849
00:44:14,786 --> 00:44:17,322
LeMarcus, what--
what's going on here?
850
00:44:17,455 --> 00:44:19,190
Me and you are buddies.
851
00:44:19,324 --> 00:44:21,192
You love playing football.
852
00:44:21,326 --> 00:44:23,361
Hell, I love watching you
play football.
853
00:44:23,494 --> 00:44:26,664
An entire college campus,
40,000 kids,
854
00:44:26,798 --> 00:44:28,934
thinks that you're
Jesus Christ incarnate.
855
00:44:29,067 --> 00:44:32,170
What's going on?
You need money?
856
00:44:33,171 --> 00:44:35,206
Just tell me
where to send the check.
857
00:44:36,742 --> 00:44:38,509
What the fuck
don't you get?
858
00:44:42,447 --> 00:44:43,882
You ever read The Jungle?
859
00:44:44,015 --> 00:44:46,084
What has that got to do
with anything, LeMarcus?
860
00:44:46,217 --> 00:44:47,819
The American Dream.
861
00:44:49,387 --> 00:44:51,723
This guy Jurgis
from Lithuania,
862
00:44:51,857 --> 00:44:54,092
he worked
at the meat-packing plant
in Chicago.
863
00:44:54,225 --> 00:44:56,127
Now, Jurgis was young,
864
00:44:56,261 --> 00:44:58,163
he was bigger, stronger
than the rest of 'em.
865
00:44:58,296 --> 00:45:00,198
So they put him
to work in the kill beds.
866
00:45:00,331 --> 00:45:02,834
He worked so hard,
he couldn't bend
his fingers.
867
00:45:02,968 --> 00:45:06,071
He couldn't flex his knees,
broke his ankle.
868
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:08,673
After all those years,
he just kept on working,
869
00:45:08,807 --> 00:45:11,009
and he loved it.
870
00:45:11,142 --> 00:45:14,880
See, that didn't mean shit
to the guys who owned
the plant though, did it?
871
00:45:15,013 --> 00:45:18,483
'Cause they weren't
about to take care
of no broke immigrant.
872
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:23,054
LeMarcus... [sighs]
You ain't that guy.
873
00:45:23,188 --> 00:45:25,924
You're about to be
the number one pick
874
00:45:26,057 --> 00:45:28,259
in the first round
of the NFL draft,
875
00:45:28,393 --> 00:45:31,830
-and Miami is gonna
pay you $35 million...
-Yeah, I know.
876
00:45:31,963 --> 00:45:33,698
That's a whole lot of meat.
877
00:45:33,832 --> 00:45:36,868
What about the guys
who ain't going
into the League?
878
00:45:37,002 --> 00:45:39,737
The guys who busted
their head in the dirt
for the last four years,
879
00:45:39,871 --> 00:45:42,273
only to wind up
mangled and broke?
What about them, huh?
880
00:45:42,407 --> 00:45:45,610
-So this whole thing's
about you?
-It's about everyone, man.
881
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:47,946
What the fuck do you think
you're gonna do?
882
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:50,548
You can't square off
with the entire system.
883
00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:53,418
You two cannot
unionize college sports,
and that's a fact.
884
00:45:54,853 --> 00:45:56,788
-It ain't two.
-What?
885
00:45:56,922 --> 00:45:59,224
It ain't just two of us
no more,
886
00:45:59,357 --> 00:46:00,758
and that's a fact.
887
00:46:04,195 --> 00:46:05,563
[sighs]
888
00:46:11,236 --> 00:46:13,571
[person] We have to
dismantle the structure
889
00:46:13,704 --> 00:46:15,273
and do something
that's more equitable,
890
00:46:15,406 --> 00:46:16,975
that's fairer
for these athletes.
891
00:46:17,108 --> 00:46:18,810
I've got teammates
that I played
892
00:46:18,944 --> 00:46:20,912
collegiate ball with
at Ohio State
893
00:46:21,046 --> 00:46:22,747
that suffered some
career-ending injuries,
894
00:46:22,881 --> 00:46:24,983
some life-altering
injuries,
895
00:46:25,116 --> 00:46:27,318
that struggle
and still struggle today
896
00:46:27,452 --> 00:46:30,088
without any support
from the university.
897
00:46:30,221 --> 00:46:31,789
It's very frustrating.
898
00:46:31,923 --> 00:46:33,658
So I'm proud
to stand behind
899
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:35,793
LeMarcus James
and what he's doing.
900
00:46:35,927 --> 00:46:38,563
Wilson, what do you think
of the situation
with LeMarcus James?
901
00:46:38,696 --> 00:46:40,999
Listen, Greeny,
I'm really impressed
by LeMarcus James.
902
00:46:41,132 --> 00:46:43,301
This guy's given up
possibly $35 million,
903
00:46:43,434 --> 00:46:45,170
maybe the first pick
overall.
904
00:46:45,303 --> 00:46:47,438
The reality is,
he's got so much to lose
905
00:46:47,572 --> 00:46:49,274
but really so much to gain.
906
00:46:49,407 --> 00:46:51,709
And I think that you and I
both know, Greeny,
907
00:46:51,843 --> 00:46:54,112
that this whole system's broke,
and we got to fix it.
908
00:46:54,245 --> 00:46:56,281
It's got to get fixed
immediately.
909
00:46:56,414 --> 00:46:58,984
[Greenberg] There you have it.
Directly from one of
the great quarterbacks
910
00:46:59,117 --> 00:47:01,419
in the history of the NFL,
Russell Wilson.
911
00:47:01,552 --> 00:47:04,355
He won the Walter Payton
Man of the Year award
in 2020.
912
00:47:04,489 --> 00:47:06,757
Russell, thank you.
Always a pleasure, Greeny.
I'll see you soon.
913
00:47:06,892 --> 00:47:10,128
[Greenberg] In the meantime,
we've got other news
to talk about...
914
00:47:11,562 --> 00:47:13,198
I understand.
915
00:47:15,967 --> 00:47:18,036
Yeah, we all know
what's at stake here.
916
00:47:19,537 --> 00:47:21,873
I will get
him into this game.
917
00:47:22,007 --> 00:47:24,375
You have
my personal guarantee.
918
00:47:24,509 --> 00:47:25,843
Of course.
919
00:47:25,977 --> 00:47:27,845
Well, thank you--
Yeah, he hung up on me.
920
00:47:27,979 --> 00:47:30,882
[sighs, panting]
921
00:47:31,016 --> 00:47:33,351
You're up early.
What, do you sleep
in that power suit?
922
00:47:33,484 --> 00:47:35,353
I might as well
at this point, right?
923
00:47:36,454 --> 00:47:38,489
Pressure
from the overlords?
924
00:47:38,623 --> 00:47:41,292
I'd say my very early
retirement is being discussed
925
00:47:41,426 --> 00:47:43,661
unless I change the optics,
and quick.
926
00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:46,231
And if I go,
so goes your retainer.
927
00:47:46,364 --> 00:47:49,034
[laughs] We can't let
that happen, now, can we?
928
00:47:51,002 --> 00:47:52,503
We offer talks.
929
00:47:53,571 --> 00:47:55,006
We hear their demands.
930
00:47:55,140 --> 00:47:57,742
We promise a committee
to explore.
No.
931
00:48:01,746 --> 00:48:04,049
They've got 40 players now.
932
00:48:04,182 --> 00:48:07,185
[Mike] I heard.
They think
they can win this.
933
00:48:07,318 --> 00:48:10,221
If we offer talks,
then they will never leave
the table empty-handed.
934
00:48:10,355 --> 00:48:12,523
They're kids.
Exactly.
935
00:48:12,657 --> 00:48:15,593
They haven't lost enough
to believe that that's
the most likely outcome.
936
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:19,564
They don't understand
that life is about losing.
937
00:48:20,831 --> 00:48:22,400
I pay you for options.
What are they?
938
00:48:22,533 --> 00:48:24,369
Well, I can only see two.
939
00:48:24,502 --> 00:48:26,437
You either give them
what they want...
940
00:48:26,571 --> 00:48:28,373
Second option?
941
00:48:28,506 --> 00:48:30,875
We savage them.
942
00:48:33,678 --> 00:48:37,048
You find everything--
every grain, every person.
943
00:48:37,182 --> 00:48:41,586
You turn LeMarcus James
into a monster
that no one could follow.
944
00:48:43,221 --> 00:48:45,423
LeMarcus decided
to do this.
945
00:48:45,556 --> 00:48:47,959
He waded into your waters.
946
00:48:48,093 --> 00:48:50,328
We have to react.
947
00:48:52,697 --> 00:48:56,001
Unfortunately,
I don't have the luxury
to react, Ms. Poe.
948
00:48:59,037 --> 00:49:00,505
But you do.
949
00:49:08,513 --> 00:49:10,448
[LeMarcus coughing]
950
00:49:11,916 --> 00:49:13,418
It's started.
951
00:49:14,619 --> 00:49:16,054
What?
952
00:49:16,187 --> 00:49:18,056
They got their hounds loose.
953
00:49:20,458 --> 00:49:21,859
[LeMarcus sighs]
954
00:49:21,993 --> 00:49:24,329
And you know
they're gonna dig up more.
955
00:49:24,462 --> 00:49:26,097
[crowd cheering]
956
00:49:26,231 --> 00:49:28,799
[chanting]
LJ! LJ! LJ! LJ! LJ!
957
00:49:28,933 --> 00:49:30,635
[whooping, cheering]
958
00:49:33,671 --> 00:49:35,806
[Emmett] We're gonna
have to move again.
959
00:49:37,708 --> 00:49:38,843
No more running.
960
00:49:40,911 --> 00:49:42,280
Let 'em come.
961
00:49:44,149 --> 00:49:46,584
Luke?
Yes, every player.
962
00:49:46,717 --> 00:49:48,286
I don't care. Luke!
963
00:49:48,419 --> 00:49:51,456
On the goddamn roof,
for all I care.
Thirty minutes.
964
00:49:51,589 --> 00:49:54,225
Bailey,
have you seen Luke?
965
00:49:54,359 --> 00:49:56,327
I got nine players
966
00:49:56,461 --> 00:49:59,497
and the cabal
of fucking idiocy around me.
967
00:49:59,630 --> 00:50:02,233
I sent him to the store
for McConnell's ice cream.
968
00:50:02,367 --> 00:50:04,502
Baby, you can't
be doing that now.
969
00:50:04,635 --> 00:50:07,072
This is fucking serious!
LeMarcus...
970
00:50:07,205 --> 00:50:08,973
Goddamn it!
You know what hurts the most?
971
00:50:09,107 --> 00:50:11,609
He never came to me
with any of this,
972
00:50:11,742 --> 00:50:13,944
after everything
we've been through together.
973
00:50:21,286 --> 00:50:22,687
Are you...
974
00:50:22,820 --> 00:50:26,191
Jesus fucking Christ.
Are you fucking kidding me?
975
00:50:27,024 --> 00:50:28,326
Now?
976
00:50:28,459 --> 00:50:30,595
I got a full-on rebellion
in my locker room,
977
00:50:30,728 --> 00:50:33,831
I got the head of the NCAA
and both conferences
up my ass
978
00:50:33,964 --> 00:50:36,934
at the national fucking
title game...
979
00:50:37,068 --> 00:50:40,138
Now? You're gonna...
Coach, we talked
about this.
980
00:50:40,271 --> 00:50:44,175
How can I say this again
in a way that you can get it?
981
00:50:44,309 --> 00:50:46,511
I need to find myself again.
982
00:50:46,644 --> 00:50:49,180
I need some me time.
Not you time. Me time.
983
00:50:49,314 --> 00:50:51,549
Goddamn, you
fuckin' selfish...
984
00:50:51,682 --> 00:50:54,852
Wow! Finish it.
Finish it.
985
00:50:54,985 --> 00:50:57,188
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
986
00:50:57,322 --> 00:50:58,623
I'm sorry.
[scoffs]
987
00:50:58,756 --> 00:51:00,258
I know the sacrifices
you've made for me.
988
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:03,394
Of course I do.
But please...
989
00:51:13,204 --> 00:51:15,540
Okay, which place do you
want me to stay away from?
990
00:51:15,673 --> 00:51:17,675
Where are you going?
The beach house?
991
00:51:19,043 --> 00:51:20,411
I'm going to Rome.
992
00:51:20,545 --> 00:51:21,912
Rome?
993
00:51:23,648 --> 00:51:25,683
Okay, I can stay away
from Rome.
994
00:51:34,292 --> 00:51:36,461
You're not going
to Rome alone, are you?
995
00:51:38,363 --> 00:51:40,398
If I hadn't stayed here
996
00:51:40,531 --> 00:51:42,367
to explain to you
that I was leaving,
997
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:44,202
would you have noticed
I'd gone?
998
00:51:44,335 --> 00:51:46,137
I know. I get it. I get it.
All I wanna know--
999
00:51:46,271 --> 00:51:49,240
Look.
It's this fucking job.
1000
00:51:49,374 --> 00:51:50,775
Oh, God.
1001
00:51:50,908 --> 00:51:54,078
I swear to God,
I will make it up to you.
1002
00:51:54,212 --> 00:51:56,281
Okay? Please.
1003
00:51:56,414 --> 00:51:58,916
I swear to God,
I'm gonna make this up to you.
1004
00:51:59,049 --> 00:52:00,185
It's just...
James...
1005
00:52:00,318 --> 00:52:02,687
We just got
to get past this game.
1006
00:52:02,820 --> 00:52:03,821
Please.
1007
00:52:03,954 --> 00:52:05,290
James...
1008
00:52:05,423 --> 00:52:08,193
Baby, I need you here
with me now, please.
1009
00:52:23,808 --> 00:52:25,443
[mutters]
1010
00:52:34,519 --> 00:52:38,022
Oh, um...
You want Coach.
He's in the back.
1011
00:52:38,155 --> 00:52:39,857
Can you... please?
1012
00:52:39,990 --> 00:52:42,059
Yeah, sure, sure. Sure.
Thank you.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
1013
00:52:43,027 --> 00:52:44,829
Good to meet you.
1014
00:52:48,899 --> 00:52:50,335
Coach?
1015
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,673
Coach Lazor?
1016
00:53:03,147 --> 00:53:05,149
Morning, Coach.
Uh, Katherine Poe.
1017
00:53:05,283 --> 00:53:06,484
We met earlier?
1018
00:53:06,617 --> 00:53:08,519
Is now okay, sir?
1019
00:53:08,653 --> 00:53:10,421
It's kind of urgent.
1020
00:53:10,555 --> 00:53:11,889
[sighs]
1021
00:53:16,927 --> 00:53:18,696
[clears throat]
1022
00:53:20,531 --> 00:53:22,066
Everything all right?
1023
00:53:23,033 --> 00:53:25,736
Well, if there's
anything I can do...
1024
00:53:25,870 --> 00:53:28,806
Just...
What do you want?
1025
00:53:28,939 --> 00:53:31,276
You have a rebellion
on your hands, sir.
1026
00:53:31,409 --> 00:53:33,711
[stammering]
What exactly do you do?
1027
00:53:33,844 --> 00:53:36,381
-You're with the NCAA?
-I'm not. I'm outside counsel.
1028
00:53:36,514 --> 00:53:38,283
And your name again?
Katherine.
1029
00:53:38,416 --> 00:53:41,185
Katherine, would you mind
just fucking off
back to your C-suite?
1030
00:53:47,692 --> 00:53:51,762
This is a private physical
LeMarcus had.
1031
00:53:52,963 --> 00:53:57,234
It's from July
for an insurance policy.
1032
00:53:59,404 --> 00:54:01,005
How did you get that?
1033
00:54:01,138 --> 00:54:05,209
It's a firm specializing
in medical data acquisition.
1034
00:54:06,577 --> 00:54:11,582
And this is an MRI
of LeMarcus' left knee,
1035
00:54:11,716 --> 00:54:14,785
which, unfortunately,
has no cartilage.
1036
00:54:17,522 --> 00:54:19,624
He's been hiding it
for five months.
1037
00:54:22,493 --> 00:54:24,862
His body
is a ticking time bomb.
1038
00:54:24,995 --> 00:54:27,898
It's only a matter of time
before that knee
gives out on him.
1039
00:54:28,032 --> 00:54:30,701
He is never going to be
the number one pick,
1040
00:54:30,835 --> 00:54:33,270
not after the combine
and a physical.
1041
00:54:33,404 --> 00:54:35,172
He'll be lucky
if he got to go day two,
1042
00:54:35,306 --> 00:54:36,974
and he's known that
for some time.
1043
00:54:37,107 --> 00:54:39,810
I have seen nothing to indicate
he's got a bad knee.
1044
00:54:39,944 --> 00:54:43,581
He's 21.
He could eat gunpowder
and then go run a marathon.
1045
00:54:43,714 --> 00:54:45,483
Now, look.
1046
00:54:46,717 --> 00:54:49,420
It's best
if this comes from you.
1047
00:54:50,855 --> 00:54:53,958
How disappointed
you were to learn
that he's been hiding this.
1048
00:54:54,091 --> 00:54:58,329
Maybe, in retrospect,
you did notice the limp
during practice.
1049
00:54:58,463 --> 00:55:00,598
What exactly are you saying?
1050
00:55:00,731 --> 00:55:03,801
Five months ago, LeMarcus
figured out he is not going
to be the number one pick,
1051
00:55:03,934 --> 00:55:06,804
and he is trying to cash in
now before the teller...
1052
00:55:06,937 --> 00:55:09,039
That is bullshit.
Yes, sir. Before
the teller window closes.
1053
00:55:09,173 --> 00:55:11,676
LeMarcus would never--
This is a shakedown, sir!
1054
00:55:11,809 --> 00:55:13,944
Pure and simple.
1055
00:55:14,078 --> 00:55:16,146
He is trying
to recoup his losses,
1056
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,115
and he is going
to take everything
1057
00:55:18,248 --> 00:55:21,285
that you and your players
have worked for.
1058
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,956
Let me ask you, sir,
how does a D-III quarterback
1059
00:55:26,090 --> 00:55:29,293
with a noodle
for an arm who runs
a five-flat 40 time,
1060
00:55:29,427 --> 00:55:31,762
how does a guy like that
become the head coach
1061
00:55:31,896 --> 00:55:33,831
of not one but two
D-I powerhouses?
1062
00:55:33,964 --> 00:55:36,467
Because that guy
is a winner.
1063
00:55:37,435 --> 00:55:38,903
And this is your time
1064
00:55:39,036 --> 00:55:41,071
to finally capture
that national title.
1065
00:55:41,205 --> 00:55:45,242
Do not let LeMarcus
rob you of your legacy.
1066
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:51,148
Now, we will leak this
to the smaller sites.
1067
00:55:51,281 --> 00:55:53,851
You will do a presser
for the networks,
1068
00:55:53,984 --> 00:55:56,654
and the aggregators
will take it from there.
1069
00:55:59,924 --> 00:56:01,492
I, um...
1070
00:56:01,626 --> 00:56:03,661
I have some remarks.
1071
00:56:03,794 --> 00:56:05,496
If you want
to take a look at...
No, thank you.
1072
00:56:05,630 --> 00:56:08,833
I don't need
your fucking remarks.
1073
00:56:10,401 --> 00:56:12,336
This is my football team.
1074
00:56:13,638 --> 00:56:16,441
They will play for me.
Coach...
1075
00:56:17,675 --> 00:56:18,776
wake up,
1076
00:56:19,844 --> 00:56:22,246
before you don't
even have a team.
1077
00:56:42,933 --> 00:56:44,635
[inhales deeply]
1078
00:56:50,941 --> 00:56:52,543
[exhales sharply]
1079
00:56:55,713 --> 00:56:57,582
I know right now...
1080
00:56:59,850 --> 00:57:02,520
you think life is always
gonna be like this.
1081
00:57:05,255 --> 00:57:07,357
You're at the center
of everything.
1082
00:57:09,894 --> 00:57:11,228
Alive.
1083
00:57:14,131 --> 00:57:15,566
And greatness
1084
00:57:16,734 --> 00:57:18,503
is right there,
1085
00:57:18,636 --> 00:57:20,170
within reach.
1086
00:57:25,510 --> 00:57:27,077
But that's not true.
1087
00:57:29,013 --> 00:57:33,584
This may very well be
your only fleeting moment
1088
00:57:33,718 --> 00:57:36,253
at the top
of the mountain.
1089
00:57:37,955 --> 00:57:40,190
Look at me.
I'm 60 years old.
1090
00:57:41,592 --> 00:57:43,160
I look like I'm 80.
1091
00:57:44,328 --> 00:57:46,430
I feel like I'm a hundred.
1092
00:57:50,167 --> 00:57:52,102
I got a wife that hates me.
1093
00:57:55,606 --> 00:57:57,675
Well, she just left,
actually.
1094
00:58:00,578 --> 00:58:03,581
I got a cock
that doesn't work
without a fucking pill.
1095
00:58:08,085 --> 00:58:09,419
My best buddy,
1096
00:58:11,188 --> 00:58:14,625
since we were
little knuckleheads
playing Pee Wee football...
1097
00:58:16,126 --> 00:58:19,029
My best friend, Clint,
just died of blood cancer.
1098
00:58:21,098 --> 00:58:22,633
Just like that.
1099
00:58:24,301 --> 00:58:27,304
Forty years ago, I was you.
1100
00:58:28,505 --> 00:58:30,107
I was you, men.
1101
00:58:31,108 --> 00:58:33,010
Magnificent.
1102
00:58:33,143 --> 00:58:36,581
Quarterback
of my little college
in North Dakota.
1103
00:58:37,815 --> 00:58:41,652
I had dreams, and I had
the energy to chase 'em.
1104
00:58:43,353 --> 00:58:45,656
-And now...
-[snaps fingers]
1105
00:58:49,159 --> 00:58:51,195
...I got one thing left,
1106
00:58:51,328 --> 00:58:54,264
one thing in my life
1107
00:58:55,900 --> 00:58:57,902
that means a damn
to me:
1108
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,215
You men.
1109
00:59:13,584 --> 00:59:14,785
This room.
1110
00:59:19,690 --> 00:59:21,358
This is all I got...
1111
00:59:25,529 --> 00:59:27,064
and that's okay.
1112
00:59:28,733 --> 00:59:31,568
Believe me,
this is all I need.
1113
00:59:34,371 --> 00:59:37,174
Now, some of you are
looking at me like, "Well...
1114
00:59:37,307 --> 00:59:39,276
bullshit, Coach.
1115
00:59:39,409 --> 00:59:40,544
Come on, now.
1116
00:59:41,378 --> 00:59:42,379
You got money.
1117
00:59:42,512 --> 00:59:45,049
You're fucking rich."
1118
00:59:45,182 --> 00:59:48,819
Yeah, I got money I...
I couldn't even conceive of
1119
00:59:48,953 --> 00:59:51,255
when I was you men.
1120
00:59:52,723 --> 00:59:54,892
Believe me
when I tell you this--
1121
00:59:55,693 --> 00:59:57,227
Money...
1122
00:59:58,796 --> 01:00:00,197
is shit.
1123
01:00:01,766 --> 01:00:04,034
Money is a numbers game
1124
01:00:04,168 --> 01:00:06,804
played by people
in $5,000 suits
1125
01:00:06,937 --> 01:00:09,774
in New York City offices
for their own benefit.
1126
01:00:09,907 --> 01:00:11,976
There is no glory
1127
01:00:13,277 --> 01:00:14,411
in money,
1128
01:00:14,544 --> 01:00:18,615
no life-altering challenge
in money.
1129
01:00:18,749 --> 01:00:21,752
There is no confrontation
with your deepest fears
1130
01:00:21,886 --> 01:00:26,256
and therefore your greatness,
in fucking money.
1131
01:00:27,958 --> 01:00:29,259
Oh, my God.
1132
01:00:29,393 --> 01:00:31,762
What I wouldn't give
to be you men
1133
01:00:33,063 --> 01:00:34,431
right now.
1134
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:38,335
One day away
from glorious battle
1135
01:00:38,468 --> 01:00:40,604
alongside
your band of brothers
1136
01:00:40,738 --> 01:00:44,574
in front of
a hundred million people
all over the world.
1137
01:00:44,709 --> 01:00:46,276
Glory.
1138
01:00:48,278 --> 01:00:51,882
The greatest glory
you are ever gonna feel.
1139
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:56,486
Do you want
to give that up?
1140
01:00:56,620 --> 01:01:00,024
For those of you who were
thinking about boycotting,
1141
01:01:01,291 --> 01:01:03,127
you've made your point.
1142
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:05,095
They are gonna have to change.
1143
01:01:06,130 --> 01:01:07,698
'Cause they heard you.
1144
01:01:07,832 --> 01:01:10,467
They are scared
shitless.
1145
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,503
It's beautiful.
It's fucking hilarious.
1146
01:01:13,637 --> 01:01:16,440
Change is coming.
Meaningful change.
1147
01:01:16,573 --> 01:01:18,542
Trust me on that.
1148
01:01:19,877 --> 01:01:22,146
Every one of you has worked
1149
01:01:22,279 --> 01:01:26,183
your whole fucking life
for this moment.
1150
01:01:27,351 --> 01:01:31,188
Don't rob yourselves
of your destiny.
1151
01:01:32,122 --> 01:01:33,991
Glory is at hand.
1152
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:37,627
Glory
1153
01:01:38,695 --> 01:01:40,564
is yours.
1154
01:01:40,697 --> 01:01:43,834
Glory is ours!
1155
01:01:46,103 --> 01:01:47,537
Glory!
1156
01:01:49,807 --> 01:01:51,041
Take it.
1157
01:02:15,532 --> 01:02:18,936
I heard
it was a great speech.
1158
01:02:19,069 --> 01:02:23,107
Now, let's prove to them that
LeMarcus is only doing this
for his own benefit,
1159
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,875
so you have enough players
1160
01:02:25,009 --> 01:02:28,078
not only to play this thing,
but to win.
1161
01:02:31,015 --> 01:02:32,649
Do you need a minute,
Coach?
1162
01:02:32,783 --> 01:02:35,552
You need to
collect yourself? Okay.
1163
01:02:36,753 --> 01:02:38,522
Let's get it over with.
1164
01:02:40,024 --> 01:02:41,358
Right.
1165
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,196
[indistinct TV chatter]
1166
01:02:46,330 --> 01:02:48,265
One miner's breakfast.
1167
01:02:49,099 --> 01:02:50,901
Breakfast of champions.
1168
01:02:51,035 --> 01:02:52,636
[coughs]
1169
01:02:54,805 --> 01:02:56,941
[newscaster]
Now, I understand we have
some late-breaking news.
1170
01:02:57,074 --> 01:02:59,409
Yes, we're going
to a live press conference
1171
01:02:59,543 --> 01:03:01,411
with Wolves head coach
James Lazor.
1172
01:03:01,545 --> 01:03:04,481
[reporter 1] Coach Lazor,
when did you first notice,
1173
01:03:04,614 --> 01:03:06,416
LeMarcus James' knee?
1174
01:03:07,384 --> 01:03:09,053
[sighs]
1175
01:03:10,420 --> 01:03:12,322
Well, I had noticed
a slight limp,
1176
01:03:12,456 --> 01:03:14,825
uh, after week three,
1177
01:03:14,959 --> 01:03:18,128
but I just chalked it up
to, you know, the usual
bumps and bruises.
1178
01:03:19,729 --> 01:03:21,431
So, I was, um...
1179
01:03:22,933 --> 01:03:24,935
I was disappointed
when I found out
1180
01:03:25,069 --> 01:03:27,838
that he'd been concealing
something more serious.
1181
01:03:27,972 --> 01:03:30,607
I can't believe Coach
is doing this.
[reporter 2] Do you think
1182
01:03:30,740 --> 01:03:32,877
he concealed his injury
to protect his draft status?
1183
01:03:33,010 --> 01:03:35,712
I don't know.
He's gonna have to pass
a very thorough physical
1184
01:03:35,846 --> 01:03:37,281
before the draft, so...
1185
01:03:38,548 --> 01:03:41,351
They found that MRI quick.
Their man's good.
1186
01:03:41,485 --> 01:03:43,921
[reporter 3] Do you feel he was
manipulating his teammates
1187
01:03:44,054 --> 01:03:45,956
to cash in
on the national title game?
1188
01:03:46,090 --> 01:03:48,292
I guess you'd have
to ask his teammates that.
1189
01:03:48,425 --> 01:03:51,495
Coach, do you feel
that this is a further example
1190
01:03:51,628 --> 01:03:53,864
of a form of modern-day
slave trade?
1191
01:04:00,104 --> 01:04:02,539
I-I'm sorry. I guess I don't
understand that question.
1192
01:04:02,672 --> 01:04:06,010
The physical. Like inspecting
a slave's teeth
to determine the price.
1193
01:04:06,143 --> 01:04:07,811
Only now, it's his knees.
1194
01:04:11,115 --> 01:04:16,020
Well, if you call getting
a free top-tier education
1195
01:04:16,153 --> 01:04:20,490
and four years of
first-class accommodations
and nutrition,
1196
01:04:20,624 --> 01:04:23,460
not to mention
a sizable living stipend,
1197
01:04:23,593 --> 01:04:26,663
and then toss in a once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity
1198
01:04:26,796 --> 01:04:28,598
to play
in a national title game,
1199
01:04:28,732 --> 01:04:31,035
if we're calling that
the slave trade,
1200
01:04:31,168 --> 01:04:33,237
then I'd love
to be a slave.
1201
01:04:33,370 --> 01:04:35,072
[reporters murmuring]
1202
01:04:35,205 --> 01:04:36,506
Um...
1203
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,208
That's...
That's the last question.
1204
01:04:40,144 --> 01:04:41,912
Well, that
already went viral.
1205
01:04:42,046 --> 01:04:43,347
[scoffs]
1206
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,349
[reporters clamoring]
1207
01:04:48,318 --> 01:04:49,386
Call Greeny.
1208
01:04:50,820 --> 01:04:52,822
Tell him
we're going live.
1209
01:04:52,957 --> 01:04:54,758
Splash it
all over Twitter too.
1210
01:04:55,993 --> 01:04:58,228
I am joined now
by LeMarcus James,
1211
01:04:58,362 --> 01:05:00,264
who won this year's
Heisman Trophy
1212
01:05:00,397 --> 01:05:04,068
and has now rocked
the entire world of sports
and well beyond
1213
01:05:04,201 --> 01:05:06,603
with his boycott
of the national title game,
1214
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:08,939
which is scheduled
for tomorrow
in New Orleans.
1215
01:05:09,073 --> 01:05:11,675
LeMarcus, I'm gonna jump
right into the question
everyone is asking.
1216
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:15,379
Are you boycotting this game
and demanding compensation
1217
01:05:15,512 --> 01:05:17,781
because of an unfortunate
medical condition
1218
01:05:17,914 --> 01:05:20,584
that could jeopardize
your status in the draft?
1219
01:05:20,717 --> 01:05:22,086
Good morning, Greeny.
1220
01:05:22,219 --> 01:05:24,721
The answer is no.
Unequivocally, no.
1221
01:05:25,722 --> 01:05:27,624
I have no cartilage
in my left knee.
1222
01:05:27,757 --> 01:05:30,760
It'll degenerate over time.
Maybe eight years, maybe 20.
1223
01:05:30,894 --> 01:05:32,729
But name me an NFL team
that wouldn't take
1224
01:05:32,862 --> 01:05:34,764
eight to 20 years
of elite quarterback play.
1225
01:05:34,898 --> 01:05:37,501
You see, the reality is,
this isn't about me.
1226
01:05:37,634 --> 01:05:39,303
This is about
our current system.
1227
01:05:39,436 --> 01:05:41,938
It's about my fellow
D-I athletes and teammates
1228
01:05:42,072 --> 01:05:43,473
who have fallen victim to,
1229
01:05:43,607 --> 01:05:45,742
quite frankly,
a plantation mentality.
1230
01:05:45,875 --> 01:05:47,811
[Greenberg] I wanna talk
about that mentality.
1231
01:05:47,944 --> 01:05:49,879
That's fucking rich.
1232
01:05:50,014 --> 01:05:52,249
'Cause clearly,
that is at the center
of this entire conversation.
1233
01:05:52,382 --> 01:05:53,984
Your coach, just today,
1234
01:05:54,118 --> 01:05:56,720
said this is a system
he'd love to be a part of
1235
01:05:56,853 --> 01:05:59,789
and even invoked
the tragic word "slavery."
1236
01:05:59,923 --> 01:06:02,159
I have to ask you,
do you feel
1237
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:05,662
this is a slave trade
of a different kind?
1238
01:06:05,795 --> 01:06:10,134
-[LeMarcus] Can I give you
another comparison, Greeny?
-Yeah, of course.
1239
01:06:10,267 --> 01:06:13,637
This is the home
of my best friend
and teammate, Emmett Sunday.
1240
01:06:13,770 --> 01:06:16,273
Emmett's father is a farmer
outside Lincoln, Nebraska,
1241
01:06:16,406 --> 01:06:18,242
and his mother
is a teacher's assistant.
1242
01:06:18,375 --> 01:06:20,144
They've saved up
a little bit for retirement,
1243
01:06:20,277 --> 01:06:22,279
but mostly, they just live
month to month.
1244
01:06:22,412 --> 01:06:25,815
One swollen appendix,
one turned ankle
from insolvency.
1245
01:06:25,949 --> 01:06:28,352
Now, their son, Emmett Sunday,
has been a four-year starter
1246
01:06:28,485 --> 01:06:30,654
for one of the best college
programs in the country.
1247
01:06:30,787 --> 01:06:32,389
Tomorrow,
he'll play in a game
1248
01:06:32,522 --> 01:06:34,658
that'll gross over
a half a billion dollars.
1249
01:06:34,791 --> 01:06:36,693
Half a billion dollars
for a single game.
1250
01:06:36,826 --> 01:06:38,228
And Emmett
won't see a dime.
1251
01:06:38,362 --> 01:06:39,829
His football days
will be over.
1252
01:06:39,963 --> 01:06:42,399
Zero compensation,
zero medical insurance
1253
01:06:42,532 --> 01:06:45,102
for the injuries
he's sustained,
some of them permanent.
1254
01:06:45,235 --> 01:06:46,803
And now, this...
1255
01:06:48,172 --> 01:06:49,973
is the Palm Beach
vacation home
1256
01:06:50,107 --> 01:06:52,209
for my coach,
James Lazor.
1257
01:06:53,610 --> 01:06:55,612
This is
his Chicago penthouse.
1258
01:06:57,814 --> 01:07:00,016
This is his
six-bedroom Craftsman,
1259
01:07:00,150 --> 01:07:01,685
where he stays
during the season.
1260
01:07:01,818 --> 01:07:03,220
His work home.
1261
01:07:03,353 --> 01:07:05,522
Now, Coach has profited
off a system
1262
01:07:05,655 --> 01:07:07,857
that is entirely based
on free labor.
1263
01:07:07,991 --> 01:07:10,427
We're not playing in any games
until those who actually play--
1264
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,430
And not just the superstars.
All athletes, down to
the special teams...
1265
01:07:13,563 --> 01:07:16,566
-Jesus.
-...are considered
and compensated.
1266
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:18,502
[Orlando sighs]
Now.
1267
01:07:18,635 --> 01:07:20,637
This crazy motherfucker.
[chuckles]
1268
01:07:20,770 --> 01:07:23,207
There you have it,
directly from
LeMarcus James.
1269
01:07:23,340 --> 01:07:25,709
LeMarcus,
thank you very much.
All right, LeMarcus.
1270
01:07:25,842 --> 01:07:28,378
[Greenberg]
I appreciate the time.
We'll take a short break,
1271
01:07:28,512 --> 01:07:30,647
and be back with more
in just a moment.
1272
01:07:30,780 --> 01:07:33,083
What the calamitous fuck?
1273
01:07:33,217 --> 01:07:35,619
We've been goddamn
outflanked by two kids,
1274
01:07:35,752 --> 01:07:37,421
like we're
in Scooby fucking Doo.
1275
01:07:37,554 --> 01:07:39,589
Oh, you know what
the dipshit sidekick did
1276
01:07:39,723 --> 01:07:42,058
when LeMarcus
was grandstanding on TV?
1277
01:07:42,192 --> 01:07:43,460
[Katherine] Sunday.
Huh?
1278
01:07:43,593 --> 01:07:45,295
His name is
Emmett Sunday.
1279
01:07:45,429 --> 01:07:47,063
Oh, thank God
we got that all cleared up.
1280
01:07:47,197 --> 01:07:51,501
Emmett fucking-us-sideways
Sunday leaks
my Nike contract.
1281
01:07:51,635 --> 01:07:53,703
Now every New York City
zig-zag's
1282
01:07:53,837 --> 01:07:56,072
asking me where
$30 million a year goes.
1283
01:07:56,206 --> 01:07:57,541
[Katherine]
Where does it go?
1284
01:07:57,674 --> 01:07:59,243
How the hell do I know?
1285
01:07:59,376 --> 01:08:01,345
You're the head
of the conference.
1286
01:08:01,478 --> 01:08:02,679
Excuse me?
1287
01:08:02,812 --> 01:08:04,714
You're the head
of your conference.
1288
01:08:04,848 --> 01:08:07,751
You should be able to answer
a layup like where
your sneaker money goes.
1289
01:08:08,918 --> 01:08:10,654
Okay.
1290
01:08:10,787 --> 01:08:11,955
Band fields.
1291
01:08:12,088 --> 01:08:13,657
Softball stadiums.
[cell phone chimes]
1292
01:08:13,790 --> 01:08:16,926
Turquoise-green
Bermuda fucking sod.
Where else?
1293
01:08:17,060 --> 01:08:19,196
Orlando Bishop
just tweeted this.
1294
01:08:19,329 --> 01:08:20,797
He's out.
[Everly] That's cute.
1295
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:22,899
We got four players
threatening to walk now too.
1296
01:08:23,032 --> 01:08:24,434
How are these two
even doing this?
1297
01:08:24,568 --> 01:08:26,069
I still think
Coach Lazor's the one
1298
01:08:26,203 --> 01:08:27,804
to talk LeMarcus
off this ledge.
1299
01:08:27,937 --> 01:08:29,973
He walks him back,
they'll all follow.
1300
01:08:30,106 --> 01:08:31,875
Where's your coach now?
1301
01:08:32,008 --> 01:08:34,344
He's, uh,
taking a minute.
1302
01:08:34,478 --> 01:08:35,812
[Katherine]
He's tanking.
1303
01:08:35,945 --> 01:08:37,747
He's fine.
[Mike] What does he need?
1304
01:08:37,881 --> 01:08:39,749
A divorce lawyer.
[Everly chuckles]
1305
01:08:39,883 --> 01:08:42,252
[Everly] He's fine, I said.
Lazor or no Lazor,
1306
01:08:42,386 --> 01:08:43,920
we're putting two teams
on the field tomorrow,
1307
01:08:44,053 --> 01:08:46,022
even if we gotta dress
the damn cheerleaders.
1308
01:08:46,156 --> 01:08:48,292
Who's second in line
if Lazor can't go?
1309
01:08:48,425 --> 01:08:52,362
I guess, uh, Ronnie Dunn,
defensive coordinator.
1310
01:08:52,496 --> 01:08:54,431
You trust him?
Yeah. Company man.
1311
01:08:54,564 --> 01:08:56,433
Been at the university
since a player himself,
1312
01:08:56,566 --> 01:08:58,335
so, yeah, he'll take
marching orders.
1313
01:08:58,468 --> 01:09:00,770
-You sure?
-This a fucking inquisition?
1314
01:09:00,904 --> 01:09:04,374
I don't trust anyone
with a vested pension
and Medicare.
1315
01:09:05,575 --> 01:09:07,277
Oh, God. You know what?
1316
01:09:07,411 --> 01:09:09,479
Fuck you very much.
1317
01:09:09,613 --> 01:09:12,916
All right? I need this shit
like I need a third tit.
1318
01:09:13,049 --> 01:09:15,352
I will march
my entire conference
1319
01:09:15,485 --> 01:09:16,986
right out that door,
1320
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:21,525
put together
my own play-offs
without any of you.
1321
01:09:21,658 --> 01:09:23,126
How do you like me?
1322
01:09:23,260 --> 01:09:25,329
You'd be in breach
of 16 different contracts,
1323
01:09:25,462 --> 01:09:29,132
squander a $100-million payday
for tomorrow alone.
1324
01:09:29,266 --> 01:09:32,502
Not to mention what I imagine
would be a full audit
1325
01:09:32,636 --> 01:09:35,772
of SEC expenses
under your tenure.
1326
01:09:35,905 --> 01:09:38,808
You know, to make sure
that those band fields,
softball stadiums
1327
01:09:38,942 --> 01:09:42,679
and turquoise-green
Bermuda sod
weren't really just
1328
01:09:42,812 --> 01:09:46,182
high-paid escorts
in New York City
1329
01:09:46,316 --> 01:09:49,419
at the Bemelman Bar
of the Carlyle.
1330
01:09:53,557 --> 01:09:56,493
Bouncing 'em
out of your apartment
three at a time, right?
1331
01:10:04,634 --> 01:10:06,202
Fuck you.
1332
01:10:06,803 --> 01:10:07,871
[scoffs]
1333
01:10:09,273 --> 01:10:10,507
Hoo!
1334
01:10:15,645 --> 01:10:17,847
[person] We're still
24 hours away
1335
01:10:17,981 --> 01:10:20,183
from the Snickers
National Title game.
1336
01:10:20,317 --> 01:10:22,252
-Only the biggest game...
-[person 2] Man, these guys
1337
01:10:22,386 --> 01:10:23,920
are already getting
free education.
1338
01:10:24,053 --> 01:10:26,222
Money is just
gonna ruin it.
1339
01:10:26,356 --> 01:10:28,157
They aren't ready
for all that money.
I wasn't when I was 18.
1340
01:10:28,292 --> 01:10:30,494
[person 3] I don't know
if this man is a racist,
1341
01:10:30,627 --> 01:10:32,762
but what I do know
is that he made a fortune
1342
01:10:32,896 --> 01:10:36,165
mostly off the backs
of young Black men.
1343
01:10:37,301 --> 01:10:38,902
[Bailey] Question.
1344
01:10:39,035 --> 01:10:41,405
If I hadn't stayed here
to explain to you
1345
01:10:41,538 --> 01:10:44,974
that I was leaving,
would you have noticed
I'd gone?
1346
01:10:46,776 --> 01:10:48,945
[panting]
1347
01:11:07,130 --> 01:11:08,565
[indistinct chattering]
1348
01:11:08,698 --> 01:11:10,634
[person]
Coach! Coach Lazor!
1349
01:11:10,767 --> 01:11:13,303
-[person 2] Oh, my God.
Look, it's Coach Lazor.
-[people clamoring]
1350
01:11:13,437 --> 01:11:15,305
[person 3] Hey, Coach,
can we get a picture?
Sorry, buddy.
1351
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,241
It's just really
not a good time, okay?
Sorry, sorry...
1352
01:11:18,375 --> 01:11:21,077
-[clamoring continues]
-Okay, not now!
1353
01:11:21,210 --> 01:11:24,481
Hey, give him some space.
Give him some space.
1354
01:11:24,614 --> 01:11:26,082
No pictures! No pictures!
1355
01:11:26,215 --> 01:11:27,551
Have a good game, Coach!
1356
01:11:44,968 --> 01:11:47,537
[Everly] Now, I know for a fact
that LeMarcus and the guys,
1357
01:11:47,671 --> 01:11:49,339
they respect
the hell out of you,
1358
01:11:49,473 --> 01:11:54,778
and you would be the first
African-American head coach
1359
01:11:54,911 --> 01:11:59,683
to lead a team onto the field
for a national title game.
1360
01:12:00,517 --> 01:12:02,118
Hell,
1361
01:12:02,251 --> 01:12:04,488
hopefully win the thing, huh?
1362
01:12:04,621 --> 01:12:06,856
Let's make history together.
1363
01:12:24,107 --> 01:12:26,476
The NCAA may have started
with this...
1364
01:12:26,610 --> 01:12:28,712
[Emmett groans]
...imaginary
pie-in-the-sky idea
1365
01:12:28,845 --> 01:12:31,280
that it was about amateurism,
and at one point it was.
1366
01:12:31,415 --> 01:12:34,818
But then there was a turn,
and it became about money.
1367
01:12:34,951 --> 01:12:37,787
[knocking]
Plain and simple.
I thought this was America.
1368
01:12:37,921 --> 01:12:39,656
[coughing]
Yeah?
1369
01:12:39,789 --> 01:12:41,558
It's Coach Dunn.
1370
01:12:43,259 --> 01:12:45,061
[Emmett] You all
by your lonesome?
1371
01:12:45,194 --> 01:12:47,664
[groans]
[Coach Dunn]
It's just me.
1372
01:12:47,797 --> 01:12:49,533
[door unlocks]
1373
01:12:50,534 --> 01:12:51,568
Coach?
1374
01:12:51,701 --> 01:12:54,370
You two are really hard
to find.
1375
01:12:54,504 --> 01:12:57,340
It's easier to find Bigfoot
than to find you two.
1376
01:12:58,341 --> 01:13:00,043
Look, relax.
I won't tell Lazor.
1377
01:13:01,010 --> 01:13:02,846
[chuckles softly]
You know something?
1378
01:13:02,979 --> 01:13:05,381
I gotta give credit
to you two, actually.
1379
01:13:05,515 --> 01:13:08,051
I'm really surprised
you was able to pull this off.
1380
01:13:10,086 --> 01:13:11,788
But you got trouble.
1381
01:13:12,989 --> 01:13:15,091
Yep, they still gonna
play the game.
1382
01:13:17,561 --> 01:13:19,095
With 19 freshmen?
1383
01:13:19,996 --> 01:13:21,531
Cornelius?
1384
01:13:21,665 --> 01:13:23,366
They don't care who plays
as long as it's on TV.
1385
01:13:23,500 --> 01:13:25,569
[Emmett scoffs]
1386
01:13:25,702 --> 01:13:27,571
The shit bowl.
1387
01:13:27,704 --> 01:13:29,706
[Coach Dunn] They shitting
their pants right now.
1388
01:13:29,839 --> 01:13:31,875
They got so desperate,
they approached me
1389
01:13:32,008 --> 01:13:33,943
and said
If Lazor doesn't show up,
1390
01:13:34,077 --> 01:13:36,012
I can bring the team
out to the field.
1391
01:13:37,180 --> 01:13:39,082
So, Coach is sitting?
1392
01:13:39,215 --> 01:13:41,084
[sighs] I don't know, man.
It's really hard
to tell right now,
1393
01:13:41,217 --> 01:13:42,919
but it looks like it.
1394
01:13:43,052 --> 01:13:44,020
Damn.
1395
01:13:44,153 --> 01:13:46,322
So, what you gonna do?
1396
01:13:46,456 --> 01:13:48,992
The first Black head coach
in a national title game?
1397
01:13:49,125 --> 01:13:50,827
It's a big deal.
1398
01:13:52,095 --> 01:13:55,331
I ain't no fucking pawn.
Hell, no, I'm not doing it.
1399
01:13:55,465 --> 01:13:57,433
I'm one of best defensive
coaches in this country.
1400
01:13:57,567 --> 01:13:58,935
I don't need
no fucking handouts.
1401
01:13:59,068 --> 01:14:00,470
Amen, Coach.
1402
01:14:00,604 --> 01:14:02,071
We feel the same way.
1403
01:14:02,205 --> 01:14:04,340
Even if this whole thing
goes up in a ball of flames,
1404
01:14:04,474 --> 01:14:06,242
we're not stepping
on that field.
1405
01:14:08,745 --> 01:14:11,581
Look, y'all.
Have I ever told you
the Hannibal Lawson story?
1406
01:14:11,715 --> 01:14:13,850
Who?
Hannibal Lawson.
1407
01:14:13,983 --> 01:14:17,053
So, Han Lawson, to me, was one
of the best defensive tackles
1408
01:14:17,186 --> 01:14:18,922
in Louisiana
high school history.
1409
01:14:19,055 --> 01:14:20,824
He went on to LSU.
1410
01:14:20,957 --> 01:14:22,926
You know, a bright future.
1411
01:14:24,027 --> 01:14:25,762
He got his knee shredded
in practice.
1412
01:14:25,895 --> 01:14:28,598
And the result of that,
they took his scholarship away.
1413
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:32,769
But Hannibal did
something interesting.
1414
01:14:32,902 --> 01:14:35,805
He hired
a lawyer in a cheap suit
with some night-school degree,
1415
01:14:35,939 --> 01:14:38,675
and he sued the NCAA
for workmen's comp.
1416
01:14:38,808 --> 01:14:40,677
-Smart, right?
-Yeah.
1417
01:14:40,810 --> 01:14:43,112
Went all the way to
the Louisiana Supreme Court.
1418
01:14:43,246 --> 01:14:44,914
[Emmett] What happened?
1419
01:14:45,048 --> 01:14:46,816
Student-athlete.
1420
01:14:46,950 --> 01:14:49,285
[Coach Dunn]
Yeah, they said he was nothing
but a student-athlete.
1421
01:14:49,418 --> 01:14:51,454
They didn't consider him
an employee, even though
they were selling
1422
01:14:51,588 --> 01:14:53,222
hundreds and thousands
of tickets
1423
01:14:53,356 --> 01:14:55,892
every fucking Saturday,
making millions of dollars!
1424
01:14:56,025 --> 01:14:59,529
You're breaking your body
every fucking practice
and every game.
1425
01:14:59,663 --> 01:15:02,298
And whenever they decide
to take the scholarship
away from you, they can,
1426
01:15:02,431 --> 01:15:03,967
whenever the fuck
they feel like it.
1427
01:15:04,100 --> 01:15:06,903
That's a crazy,
sick system.
1428
01:15:07,036 --> 01:15:10,206
And maybe you two
will change it.
I don't know.
1429
01:15:10,339 --> 01:15:13,977
But I want y'all to understand
something. There's a lot
of Han Lawsons out here.
1430
01:15:15,211 --> 01:15:16,646
Survival of the fittest.
1431
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:20,116
America.
1432
01:15:21,585 --> 01:15:23,553
This little pigskin football
right here
1433
01:15:23,687 --> 01:15:25,054
holds a lot of weight to it.
1434
01:15:25,188 --> 01:15:26,956
It's more than a game.
1435
01:15:27,090 --> 01:15:28,892
It's a fucking business.
1436
01:15:33,429 --> 01:15:34,798
Hey, Coach.
1437
01:15:35,832 --> 01:15:37,567
Thank you.
1438
01:15:38,534 --> 01:15:40,003
Good luck, fellas.
1439
01:15:41,304 --> 01:15:43,206
[coughs]
1440
01:15:46,342 --> 01:15:48,544
[sighs]
[door closes]
1441
01:15:48,678 --> 01:15:50,513
We're gonna need Cecil
on board.
1442
01:15:50,647 --> 01:15:54,183
We both don't play,
the advertisers
will start pulling out.
1443
01:15:55,518 --> 01:15:56,920
It's the only way.
1444
01:15:57,921 --> 01:16:00,023
[blues rock music playing]
1445
01:16:00,156 --> 01:16:02,358
[Rodgers] Take a little more
of the edge off.
1446
01:16:04,260 --> 01:16:06,395
Gotta let it out.
1447
01:16:06,529 --> 01:16:09,398
If you don't,
it just stays inside you,
it becomes poison.
1448
01:16:09,532 --> 01:16:11,234
[Taylor sighs]
1449
01:16:11,367 --> 01:16:14,070
Okay, what's the plan?
Damn it.
1450
01:16:14,203 --> 01:16:16,139
I can't even focus
on that right now.
1451
01:16:16,272 --> 01:16:19,575
Well, you... you got to.
You gotta bifurcate.
1452
01:16:19,709 --> 01:16:23,947
Uh, I don't know what
that means, but I think
I get the gist of it.
1453
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,915
About to lose 500,000
'cause of LeMarcus.
1454
01:16:26,049 --> 01:16:27,116
[Rodgers] Taylor.
He fucked us.
1455
01:16:27,250 --> 01:16:28,551
-Put the phone down.
-He fucked us.
1456
01:16:28,685 --> 01:16:30,353
-Put the phone down.
-All right.
1457
01:16:30,486 --> 01:16:33,022
Coach, I know you don't want
to hear this right now.
1458
01:16:33,156 --> 01:16:36,092
I've been married
three times myself.
1459
01:16:36,225 --> 01:16:38,394
But the hurt goes away.
1460
01:16:38,527 --> 01:16:39,796
Poof.
1461
01:16:39,929 --> 01:16:41,965
One day, just like that.
Gone.
1462
01:16:42,098 --> 01:16:44,801
I'm telling you,
Bailey's my one and only.
1463
01:16:44,934 --> 01:16:47,937
And she's gone.
And it's my own goddamn fault.
1464
01:16:48,071 --> 01:16:49,639
[Taylor] Coach,
no offense at all.
1465
01:16:49,773 --> 01:16:51,708
Your love life,
that's your thing.
1466
01:16:51,841 --> 01:16:53,309
Your racial views,
that's your thing.
1467
01:16:53,442 --> 01:16:55,845
But we have
a national title
in less than 24 hours.
1468
01:16:55,979 --> 01:16:58,281
Can you please
just focus on that?
Fucking racial views?
1469
01:16:58,414 --> 01:16:59,916
First of all,
one goddamn reporter
1470
01:17:00,049 --> 01:17:01,484
baits me into saying
something stupid.
1471
01:17:01,617 --> 01:17:03,119
I know
you're not racist.
1472
01:17:03,252 --> 01:17:04,854
I'm just saying we got
the game to focus on, okay?
1473
01:17:04,988 --> 01:17:06,690
That's all I'm saying.
What fucking game?
1474
01:17:06,823 --> 01:17:08,792
I don't have
a goddamn team.
Less than 24 hours.
1475
01:17:08,925 --> 01:17:12,128
I'm supposed
to walk out of that tunnel
with-- with freshmen.
1476
01:17:12,261 --> 01:17:14,698
Nobody's askin' you...
and go in there and get
our ass kicked?
1477
01:17:14,831 --> 01:17:17,533
You gotta figure it out.
That's not competition.
That's a fucking slaughter.
1478
01:17:17,667 --> 01:17:19,168
I'm doing what I can.
1479
01:17:19,302 --> 01:17:21,270
You gotta do better, Coach.
You're under contract.
1480
01:17:21,404 --> 01:17:23,106
Con...
Fuck that contract.
1481
01:17:23,239 --> 01:17:25,675
Are you talking to me
about the fucking contract
right now?
1482
01:17:25,809 --> 01:17:27,310
I could walk
across the street tomorrow
1483
01:17:27,443 --> 01:17:29,312
and get another contract
if they find me in breach.
1484
01:17:29,445 --> 01:17:31,681
I don't give a shit.
I don't need
the goddamn money anyway.
1485
01:17:31,815 --> 01:17:33,182
Coach,
you're hurtin' right now.
1486
01:17:33,316 --> 01:17:36,519
Let's just give it
an hour or two.
1487
01:17:36,652 --> 01:17:38,321
See the state of play.
1488
01:17:38,454 --> 01:17:41,624
It's best not to make
any decisions feeling this way.
1489
01:17:43,159 --> 01:17:44,694
Tell you what.
It's the ones
1490
01:17:44,828 --> 01:17:47,630
that are closest to us
that hurt us the most.
1491
01:18:06,449 --> 01:18:08,852
You as good
as they say you are?
1492
01:18:08,985 --> 01:18:11,687
To which of my many talents
are you referring?
1493
01:18:12,989 --> 01:18:15,391
There was a fight
that no one knows about.
1494
01:18:15,524 --> 01:18:17,861
A real brawl.
A kid got hurt bad.
1495
01:18:17,994 --> 01:18:21,197
I'll alert the authorities.
Oh, they know.
1496
01:18:21,330 --> 01:18:24,734
He's blind in one eye now
and got a hole in his skull.
1497
01:18:26,402 --> 01:18:29,405
But money talks,
and NDAs don't.
1498
01:18:34,610 --> 01:18:36,045
I'm listening.
1499
01:18:38,815 --> 01:18:40,183
LeMarcus.
1500
01:18:42,285 --> 01:18:43,519
[shower running]
1501
01:18:43,652 --> 01:18:46,422
[practicing Italian]
1502
01:18:46,555 --> 01:18:49,325
Oh, crap,
I think I just called you
my pistachio. [laughs]
1503
01:18:49,458 --> 01:18:52,929
Your phone sucks.
Is mine in there?
1504
01:18:53,062 --> 01:18:54,663
It is here.
1505
01:18:54,798 --> 01:18:56,532
[Bailey] Ah.
1506
01:18:56,665 --> 01:18:59,803
You just got a text
from a guy
named Mike Titus.
1507
01:18:59,936 --> 01:19:01,771
What? Crap.
1508
01:19:01,905 --> 01:19:05,374
I just must have grabbed
James' personal one again
by accident.
1509
01:19:05,508 --> 01:19:09,312
[Italian accent]
Can you bring it to me,
mi pistachio?
1510
01:19:10,746 --> 01:19:12,782
It's probably goin' ape-shit
right now.
1511
01:19:12,916 --> 01:19:14,918
After everything we've done
for LeMarcus.
1512
01:19:15,051 --> 01:19:18,387
Every single one of those kids
are spoiled brats.
1513
01:19:18,521 --> 01:19:20,423
Spoiled freaking brats.
1514
01:19:20,556 --> 01:19:22,959
Geez. [chuckles]
1515
01:19:23,092 --> 01:19:27,130
Oh, I cannot wait
to go to Rome.
1516
01:19:27,263 --> 01:19:30,099
There's this one place
that I want to eat at,
1517
01:19:30,233 --> 01:19:33,402
and they still have
the bullet holes
in the walls from the war.
1518
01:19:33,536 --> 01:19:37,073
Do you see this?
Probably not,
'cause your phone stinks.
1519
01:19:40,844 --> 01:19:41,945
What?
1520
01:19:44,848 --> 01:19:46,782
I've been helping LeMarcus.
1521
01:19:49,518 --> 01:19:51,254
What?
1522
01:19:51,387 --> 01:19:53,156
You know, with his boycott.
1523
01:19:53,289 --> 01:19:54,891
That's why I'm here.
1524
01:19:56,525 --> 01:19:58,327
I don't get it.
1525
01:20:00,329 --> 01:20:02,665
He came to me after class.
1526
01:20:03,666 --> 01:20:05,134
And... [sighs]
1527
01:20:06,235 --> 01:20:07,770
...what was I gonna do?
1528
01:20:08,737 --> 01:20:10,706
Be another
tenured paper tiger?
1529
01:20:12,275 --> 01:20:14,377
Teaching organized labor
five days a week,
1530
01:20:14,510 --> 01:20:16,880
then hide behind my desk
when one of my own students
1531
01:20:17,013 --> 01:20:19,182
actually wants
to do something about it?
1532
01:20:21,084 --> 01:20:22,852
So...
1533
01:20:22,986 --> 01:20:24,353
I helped him
1534
01:20:25,488 --> 01:20:27,456
with his strategy
1535
01:20:28,257 --> 01:20:29,893
any way I could.
1536
01:20:31,961 --> 01:20:33,096
It's funny.
1537
01:20:33,229 --> 01:20:35,331
LeMarcus knew
the rumors about us,
1538
01:20:35,464 --> 01:20:37,200
like everybody else.
1539
01:20:37,333 --> 01:20:39,135
Except your husband,
of course.
1540
01:20:40,436 --> 01:20:43,672
And you, calling LeMarcus
a spoiled brat,
1541
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:48,211
especially when he has
so much to lose.
1542
01:20:50,146 --> 01:20:53,682
Maybe you're more part
of the system than you think.
Get out.
1543
01:20:55,818 --> 01:20:57,987
[voice breaking]
Get the fuck out of here.
1544
01:21:02,658 --> 01:21:03,927
Leave!
1545
01:21:14,670 --> 01:21:16,039
[door closes]
1546
01:21:19,008 --> 01:21:20,076
[sobs]
1547
01:21:27,016 --> 01:21:28,717
[whispers] Fuck me.
1548
01:21:28,851 --> 01:21:30,019
[sobs]
1549
01:21:47,971 --> 01:21:49,538
[knocking]
1550
01:21:54,010 --> 01:21:55,678
[sighs]
1551
01:22:05,588 --> 01:22:07,790
Oh, sorry. I think
we got the wrong room.
1552
01:22:07,923 --> 01:22:09,792
No.
This room is Cecil's.
1553
01:22:09,925 --> 01:22:12,261
Come in.
We don't have a lot of time.
1554
01:22:20,569 --> 01:22:23,139
My name's Katherine Poe.
I come bearing gifts.
1555
01:22:23,272 --> 01:22:25,241
You need my phone?
1556
01:22:28,711 --> 01:22:30,013
You look rough.
1557
01:22:30,146 --> 01:22:32,281
Just a cold.
1558
01:22:32,415 --> 01:22:33,916
Where's Cecil?
1559
01:22:34,050 --> 01:22:36,652
They're in a suite
ten floors up, playing 2K.
1560
01:22:38,121 --> 01:22:39,588
No, wait.
1561
01:22:39,722 --> 01:22:42,058
[chuckles] You haven't
even heard my offer yet.
1562
01:22:42,191 --> 01:22:44,793
It's a pretty good offer.
A lot of wonderful things.
1563
01:22:44,927 --> 01:22:46,662
A lot of meat
on the bone.
1564
01:22:51,867 --> 01:22:53,436
Okay.
1565
01:22:53,569 --> 01:22:55,404
What you got?
1566
01:22:55,538 --> 01:22:57,840
I send the best concierge
doctor in New Orleans,
1567
01:22:57,973 --> 01:22:59,608
Dr. Eric, to your room.
1568
01:22:59,742 --> 01:23:03,179
He gives you an IV, a Z-Pak,
you get plenty of rest,
1569
01:23:03,312 --> 01:23:05,481
you and your team
play the game,
1570
01:23:06,815 --> 01:23:08,951
and you go number one
overall in April.
1571
01:23:09,085 --> 01:23:10,486
All your dreams
come true.
1572
01:23:10,619 --> 01:23:12,221
And...
1573
01:23:12,355 --> 01:23:15,158
I will personally
make sure
1574
01:23:15,291 --> 01:23:18,694
that the NCAA forms
an exploratory committee
1575
01:23:18,827 --> 01:23:21,964
to fully monetize
amateur athletics.
1576
01:23:22,098 --> 01:23:24,400
"Exploratory committee"?
Yeah, that's gonna
be a pass.
1577
01:23:24,533 --> 01:23:27,536
[Katherine] No, wait.
You haven't heard
the cherry on top.
1578
01:23:28,804 --> 01:23:30,973
Best part is,
you don't go to jail.
1579
01:23:32,875 --> 01:23:35,211
[scoffs] For boycottin'
a football game?
1580
01:23:35,344 --> 01:23:38,547
For the attempted murder
of K.C. Walton.
1581
01:23:43,586 --> 01:23:44,953
[Emmett] Wow.
1582
01:23:45,988 --> 01:23:47,890
Wow!
1583
01:23:48,023 --> 01:23:51,460
For the last 48 hours,
you guys have been trying
to destroy this man!
1584
01:23:51,594 --> 01:23:53,896
And what, you land
on outright assassination?
1585
01:23:54,029 --> 01:23:57,233
For what, money?
K.C. Walton is blind
in one eye.
1586
01:23:57,366 --> 01:23:59,402
He has a crack
in his skull,
1587
01:23:59,535 --> 01:24:03,739
and he hasn't walked the same
ever since that fight
outside of the, uh,
1588
01:24:03,872 --> 01:24:06,842
Gin Mill Bar and Grill.
1589
01:24:08,877 --> 01:24:10,913
So I spoke to his mother,
1590
01:24:11,046 --> 01:24:12,848
and she jumped at the idea
of being able to...
[whispers] It's bullshit.
1591
01:24:12,981 --> 01:24:15,118
It's not bullshit!
1592
01:24:15,251 --> 01:24:18,454
She jumped at the idea
of being able
to throw out that NDA
1593
01:24:18,587 --> 01:24:21,357
and burn that 100K
that was used to buy them off
1594
01:24:21,490 --> 01:24:23,926
if it meant that
she could find the guys
1595
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:26,929
who hurt her son
and get paid again.
1596
01:24:27,062 --> 01:24:29,932
You don't know
what you're doing.
Hey. No.
1597
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:32,568
She ain't got nothin'.
1598
01:24:32,701 --> 01:24:34,370
Let's get outta here.
1599
01:24:36,339 --> 01:24:37,773
I got Reggie.
1600
01:24:41,510 --> 01:24:43,179
Your half-brother.
1601
01:24:48,184 --> 01:24:49,618
So you spoke to him?
1602
01:24:51,187 --> 01:24:53,256
Haven't found him yet.
1603
01:24:53,389 --> 01:24:56,859
When I do, I promise you,
I am going to piece together
1604
01:24:56,992 --> 01:24:59,395
what exactly happened
that night.
1605
01:24:59,528 --> 01:25:02,131
LeMarcus, wake up.
1606
01:25:03,566 --> 01:25:06,369
How do you think
it is gonna look
when someone like Reggie,
1607
01:25:06,502 --> 01:25:09,071
who has two felony
possession charges
1608
01:25:09,205 --> 01:25:11,140
and assault and battery,
shows up
1609
01:25:11,274 --> 01:25:13,342
in front of an all-white jury
in Missouri
1610
01:25:13,476 --> 01:25:14,977
with
attempted-murder charges
1611
01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:18,080
to a guy who is
permanently injured?
1612
01:25:19,315 --> 01:25:21,317
One look at that jack,
and I'd be able to know
1613
01:25:21,450 --> 01:25:23,352
that he was the one
that kicked K.C.'s ass.
1614
01:25:24,287 --> 01:25:26,589
But guess what?
This is America.
1615
01:25:26,722 --> 01:25:29,192
[whispers] Nobody cares
about your brother.
1616
01:25:29,892 --> 01:25:30,959
Nobody.
1617
01:25:32,728 --> 01:25:35,698
[normal voice] The only one
they were able to spot
that night in that melee
1618
01:25:35,831 --> 01:25:39,702
was one LeMarcus James,
star quarterback.
1619
01:25:39,835 --> 01:25:42,104
And so the state police
picked you up
1620
01:25:42,238 --> 01:25:43,639
and hit you with charges,
1621
01:25:43,772 --> 01:25:45,674
but some
deep-pocketed booster,
1622
01:25:45,808 --> 01:25:47,910
who I think
I just fucking met,
1623
01:25:48,043 --> 01:25:49,111
stepped in
1624
01:25:49,245 --> 01:25:51,814
and paid off K.C.
and his family.
1625
01:25:51,947 --> 01:25:53,949
Because that's what we do
in big football, right?
1626
01:25:54,082 --> 01:25:56,585
You protect the phenom
1627
01:25:56,719 --> 01:26:00,356
when he has a chance
of bringing home that
national title this year.
1628
01:26:00,489 --> 01:26:02,358
Sound about right?
1629
01:26:03,959 --> 01:26:07,796
I suggest you let
Dr. Eric patch you up tonight,
1630
01:26:07,930 --> 01:26:11,467
and then we do
a joint press conference
in the morning.
1631
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:15,338
All the head honchos
up in the penthouse,
1632
01:26:15,471 --> 01:26:17,139
heads bowed,
1633
01:26:17,273 --> 01:26:19,808
agreeing that,
yes, there is a problem.
1634
01:26:21,510 --> 01:26:23,178
And then you play.
1635
01:26:23,312 --> 01:26:26,649
You win, and you get
to take that victory lap
1636
01:26:26,782 --> 01:26:29,418
you have been
dreaming about since...
1637
01:26:29,552 --> 01:26:31,854
since you stood
on the sidelines
1638
01:26:31,987 --> 01:26:34,657
watching your big brother
in north Virginia.
1639
01:26:36,191 --> 01:26:40,429
And then change does come
because of you, eventually.
1640
01:26:40,563 --> 01:26:43,599
And that is something
you both can be proud of.
1641
01:26:44,567 --> 01:26:47,236
I got a question.
1642
01:26:47,370 --> 01:26:50,406
Are you completely
fucking heartless,
or just a little bit?
1643
01:26:50,539 --> 01:26:53,041
Oh, my God.
[Emmett] How do you live
with yourself?
1644
01:26:53,175 --> 01:26:56,979
Honestly, how do you live
with yourself?
[shouts] I am not heartless!
1645
01:26:57,112 --> 01:26:58,981
You do not know me!
1646
01:27:00,683 --> 01:27:03,486
You think I don't know
your struggle?
1647
01:27:03,619 --> 01:27:07,290
You think I don't know
what you have come from?
That I haven't been there?
1648
01:27:08,357 --> 01:27:10,058
You think I don't know
what it's like
1649
01:27:10,192 --> 01:27:12,227
to be without heat
in your house?
1650
01:27:12,361 --> 01:27:13,862
That I don't know
what it's like
1651
01:27:13,996 --> 01:27:16,164
to not be able
to afford your jersey,
1652
01:27:16,299 --> 01:27:17,800
and you are
avoiding your coach
1653
01:27:17,933 --> 01:27:20,536
'cause you don't have
the $50 to pay for it?
1654
01:27:22,237 --> 01:27:24,940
[voice breaking]
I ran track at Duke, okay?
1655
01:27:26,375 --> 01:27:27,743
Full ride.
1656
01:27:27,876 --> 01:27:29,812
No big medals, no big wins.
1657
01:27:29,945 --> 01:27:33,282
But I took that money
because it was the only way
I was gonna run myself
1658
01:27:33,416 --> 01:27:36,151
out of that
Red Hook project.
1659
01:27:36,285 --> 01:27:38,887
[scoffs]
You think you know me.
1660
01:27:40,255 --> 01:27:42,124
You don't know me.
1661
01:27:42,257 --> 01:27:46,094
I had to fight and climb
1662
01:27:46,228 --> 01:27:48,564
and crawl to be here
1663
01:27:48,697 --> 01:27:50,699
because I did the work.
1664
01:27:54,036 --> 01:27:59,074
The NCAA spends $3.6 billion
1665
01:27:59,207 --> 01:28:02,778
on student-athlete
scholarships for kids like me,
1666
01:28:02,911 --> 01:28:05,414
like you and like you,
1667
01:28:06,782 --> 01:28:08,984
so that we can get a leg up.
1668
01:28:09,117 --> 01:28:11,053
And what happens
to all of that
1669
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,122
when they start paying you?
1670
01:28:14,256 --> 01:28:15,724
Hmm?
1671
01:28:15,858 --> 01:28:20,095
What happens to volleyball
in Minnesota,
1672
01:28:20,228 --> 01:28:22,130
to soccer in Idaho,
1673
01:28:22,264 --> 01:28:24,433
to softball in South Carolina?
1674
01:28:24,567 --> 01:28:26,935
What happens to
all of those other sports
1675
01:28:27,069 --> 01:28:30,673
that are not men's football
and basketball?
1676
01:28:32,675 --> 01:28:36,211
You out here fighting,
and you forgot
who you're fighting for.
1677
01:28:38,781 --> 01:28:41,850
You know, but...
[clears throat, sighs]
1678
01:28:42,951 --> 01:28:44,653
Hey, what do I know?
1679
01:28:45,821 --> 01:28:47,289
I'm heartless.
1680
01:29:00,736 --> 01:29:02,270
[door opens]
1681
01:29:04,006 --> 01:29:05,474
[door closes]
1682
01:29:09,111 --> 01:29:11,313
[crowd chattering]
1683
01:29:24,627 --> 01:29:27,930
[on TV] Hi, everybody, and
good morning from the Big Easy.
I'm Steve Levy.
1684
01:29:28,063 --> 01:29:29,698
We are some 12 hours away
1685
01:29:29,832 --> 01:29:32,535
from tonight's Snickers
National Title game.
1686
01:29:32,668 --> 01:29:34,703
Now, I'm being told
that a midnight deal
1687
01:29:34,837 --> 01:29:37,372
may have been brokered
with LeMarcus James.
1688
01:29:37,506 --> 01:29:40,275
Details still remain
a little bit sketchy,
1689
01:29:40,409 --> 01:29:43,546
but there's
a news conference scheduled
for a couple hours from now.
1690
01:29:43,679 --> 01:29:45,748
My sources tell me
that both teams
1691
01:29:45,881 --> 01:29:47,382
could be
at full strength tonight,
1692
01:29:47,516 --> 01:29:49,685
and that includes James.
1693
01:29:49,818 --> 01:29:51,620
You know what else
that means?
1694
01:29:51,754 --> 01:29:54,423
Strike up the band.
Fire up that old grill.
1695
01:29:54,557 --> 01:29:56,992
We're gonna have some great
football action for you to--
1696
01:29:57,125 --> 01:30:00,228
The 13-1 Cougars
against the undefeated Wolves,
1697
01:30:00,362 --> 01:30:01,897
the two best players
in the country...
1698
01:30:02,030 --> 01:30:04,600
Or will it?
Even with the rumors
1699
01:30:04,733 --> 01:30:06,735
of a late-night deal
with LeMarcus James,
1700
01:30:06,869 --> 01:30:10,205
many oddsmakers still doubt
he will actually play tonight.
1701
01:30:10,338 --> 01:30:13,008
So the question is,
can James Lazor's Wolves
1702
01:30:13,141 --> 01:30:15,010
win without
their star quarterback?
1703
01:30:15,143 --> 01:30:16,612
I'm not so sure.
1704
01:30:16,745 --> 01:30:20,348
Well, yeah.
He and LeMarcus
have the same mother.
1705
01:30:20,483 --> 01:30:22,284
Yeah, they both grew up
in Virginia.
1706
01:30:22,417 --> 01:30:25,454
Reggie,
he played JUCO football,
1707
01:30:25,588 --> 01:30:27,289
but that fizzled out
after they cut him
1708
01:30:27,422 --> 01:30:29,424
for having
too many concussions.
1709
01:30:29,558 --> 01:30:31,426
I would start
with the state prisons.
1710
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,596
Even try
mental health facilities.
1711
01:30:33,729 --> 01:30:35,831
We need to do
a social media backdoor too.
1712
01:30:35,964 --> 01:30:37,766
I doubt that
he even has an account,
1713
01:30:37,900 --> 01:30:40,135
but we have got to find him.
[knocking]
1714
01:30:41,369 --> 01:30:43,138
He is our pressure point.
1715
01:30:43,271 --> 01:30:45,608
Oh. Coach.
1716
01:30:48,076 --> 01:30:49,645
I got your message.
1717
01:30:53,649 --> 01:30:55,951
This thing
we're toying with,
1718
01:30:57,620 --> 01:30:59,922
it's Pandora's box,
you know?
1719
01:31:01,123 --> 01:31:02,290
I know.
1720
01:31:02,424 --> 01:31:03,959
Nobody gets hurt.
1721
01:31:05,193 --> 01:31:06,662
Nobody goes to jail.
1722
01:31:06,795 --> 01:31:09,798
We just play this game.
That's what we all want.
1723
01:31:17,773 --> 01:31:19,942
[coughing]
1724
01:31:20,075 --> 01:31:22,110
[Emmett] Dear Lord,
1725
01:31:22,244 --> 01:31:25,313
the trees are thick,
and we've yet to see a path
through the wilderness.
1726
01:31:26,849 --> 01:31:28,617
Send us a light.
1727
01:31:28,751 --> 01:31:30,953
Show us the way.
Amen.
1728
01:31:31,086 --> 01:31:33,388
Amen. [coughing]
1729
01:31:36,124 --> 01:31:39,327
I can't believe you've
been here this whole time
and didn't tell us.
1730
01:31:39,461 --> 01:31:42,064
What? You thought I was
gonna miss the show?
1731
01:31:42,197 --> 01:31:44,366
[LeMarcus chuckles quietly]
1732
01:31:44,499 --> 01:31:45,901
I'm sorry.
1733
01:31:46,034 --> 01:31:48,170
No, hey, you don't
owe me anything.
1734
01:31:48,303 --> 01:31:50,673
You're the one, the two of you,
who had the guts and vision--
1735
01:31:50,806 --> 01:31:53,008
I meant about her.
1736
01:31:54,109 --> 01:31:56,178
Oh. [inhales sharply]
1737
01:31:56,311 --> 01:31:57,780
Yeah. Her.
1738
01:31:58,781 --> 01:31:59,982
Well...
1739
01:32:00,115 --> 01:32:01,216
[inhales sharply]
1740
01:32:01,349 --> 01:32:03,451
I made my own bed
on that one, so...
1741
01:32:03,586 --> 01:32:05,888
"Thou shalt
not commit adultery"
1742
01:32:06,021 --> 01:32:07,623
is the seventh Commandment.
1743
01:32:10,959 --> 01:32:13,361
Thank you
for clarifying that, Emmett.
1744
01:32:14,496 --> 01:32:16,164
You're welcome.
1745
01:32:16,298 --> 01:32:19,301
[LeMarcus] Look, Elliott,
we can't thank you enough, man.
1746
01:32:19,434 --> 01:32:22,137
Without you, we--
[sighs]
1747
01:32:22,270 --> 01:32:24,673
we wouldn't have even had
a shot to pull this off.
1748
01:32:26,508 --> 01:32:28,210
What's going on here?
1749
01:32:29,745 --> 01:32:31,614
Are we about to hold hands
1750
01:32:31,747 --> 01:32:33,849
and feel good
about your little protest?
1751
01:32:33,982 --> 01:32:36,551
'Cause I thought you guys
were in it to win it.
1752
01:32:36,685 --> 01:32:38,553
You know,
as if it were, say,
1753
01:32:38,687 --> 01:32:41,123
the national title.
1754
01:32:46,695 --> 01:32:50,232
Let me give you a little
something I stumbled across
from my travels.
1755
01:32:51,934 --> 01:32:54,436
I believe that's your coach's.
1756
01:32:55,604 --> 01:32:57,405
Wasn't even wrapped
in aluminum.
1757
01:32:57,539 --> 01:32:59,875
Amateur move.
1758
01:33:01,644 --> 01:33:04,446
Yeah, but what's
the point of this?
We can't unlock it.
1759
01:33:05,848 --> 01:33:08,784
Do you need to?
You know what's on it.
1760
01:33:10,252 --> 01:33:13,521
And you're a quarterback.
You know how to bluff
the other team.
1761
01:33:19,327 --> 01:33:20,863
So you're saying
we keep going?
1762
01:33:20,996 --> 01:33:22,464
[Elliott]
That's not my decision.
1763
01:33:22,597 --> 01:33:24,967
It's not even
about which one is right.
1764
01:33:26,869 --> 01:33:29,537
It's about, which one
are you gonna be able
to live with,
1765
01:33:29,672 --> 01:33:31,740
no matter how it goes,
1766
01:33:31,874 --> 01:33:34,009
how much you suffer
the consequences.
1767
01:33:37,112 --> 01:33:40,783
I'm just letting you know
you still have some options.
1768
01:33:40,916 --> 01:33:44,419
[coughing]
It's off to Rome for me,
comrades.
1769
01:33:44,552 --> 01:33:47,455
Wait, you ain't staying
for the game?
Nah, opiate for the masses.
1770
01:33:47,589 --> 01:33:50,192
It's, like,
too much winning
for my taste.
1771
01:33:53,495 --> 01:33:55,330
I'm so proud
of you guys.
1772
01:33:57,132 --> 01:33:58,801
You did this.
1773
01:33:58,934 --> 01:34:01,169
You alone.
And it was...
1774
01:34:03,571 --> 01:34:05,507
It was
fucking magnificent.
1775
01:34:08,877 --> 01:34:10,645
Veni, vidi...
1776
01:34:10,779 --> 01:34:12,147
Vici.
Vici.
1777
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:14,082
[door closes]
[coughing]
1778
01:34:15,450 --> 01:34:16,685
[LeMarcus] Goddamn.
1779
01:34:16,819 --> 01:34:18,120
Well...
1780
01:34:19,755 --> 01:34:21,924
we're about due
for our surrender.
1781
01:34:23,058 --> 01:34:24,793
What you thinkin'?
1782
01:34:25,593 --> 01:34:27,162
I don't fucking know.
1783
01:34:28,130 --> 01:34:29,631
My head is pounding.
1784
01:34:29,765 --> 01:34:32,200
Where's that doc?
1785
01:34:32,334 --> 01:34:35,203
Yeah, I'll go get him.
He said he'd wait
in the lobby.
1786
01:34:36,538 --> 01:34:37,706
[coughing]
1787
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:39,474
Damn, you sick.
1788
01:34:39,607 --> 01:34:42,677
See if I can get you
another IV.
I'll be back in ten.
1789
01:34:47,382 --> 01:34:48,851
[door closes]
1790
01:35:53,782 --> 01:35:57,285
[Mike] As soon as
he gets here, we'll have
the coach and him reunite,
1791
01:35:57,419 --> 01:36:01,123
uh, pleasantries, and then
we'll get right to inviting
the media in.
1792
01:36:01,256 --> 01:36:03,758
I'll give them a few minutes.
They'll go off to play.
1793
01:36:03,892 --> 01:36:05,493
[knocking on door]
1794
01:36:05,627 --> 01:36:06,962
Here we go.
1795
01:36:09,531 --> 01:36:10,698
[Everly] Hey!
1796
01:36:10,833 --> 01:36:13,268
LeMarcus has risen.
There he is.
1797
01:36:13,401 --> 01:36:15,938
All right.
Great to see you.
1798
01:36:16,071 --> 01:36:18,073
Can I get you something?
Some water? A Snickers?
1799
01:36:18,206 --> 01:36:20,075
-[laughter]
-I'm good, thanks.
1800
01:36:20,208 --> 01:36:22,644
[Mike] You were a little
under the weather,
but you're better now.
1801
01:36:22,777 --> 01:36:24,412
Yeah.
1802
01:36:24,546 --> 01:36:26,714
[Mike] That's good news.
[Wes] Not for us.
1803
01:36:26,849 --> 01:36:28,150
[laughter]
1804
01:36:28,283 --> 01:36:30,118
[Everly] True.
1805
01:36:30,252 --> 01:36:32,220
[Mike] Um,
I just wanted to, uh,
1806
01:36:32,354 --> 01:36:34,489
get us to have
a little face-to-face
1807
01:36:34,622 --> 01:36:36,258
before we bring
the cameras in here.
1808
01:36:36,391 --> 01:36:38,260
I was just telling
the coach here
1809
01:36:38,393 --> 01:36:40,762
how impressed I was
with, uh, your conduct.
1810
01:36:40,896 --> 01:36:42,130
Very honorable.
1811
01:36:43,231 --> 01:36:44,599
[Coach Lazor] LeMarcus.
1812
01:36:44,732 --> 01:36:46,501
The team is back.
1813
01:36:47,569 --> 01:36:49,371
They heard
about this deal, and...
1814
01:36:50,338 --> 01:36:51,874
everybody else
is playin' this.
1815
01:36:52,007 --> 01:36:53,475
It's just you
and Emmett now.
1816
01:36:53,608 --> 01:36:57,212
These gentlemen are
giving you a committee,
1817
01:36:57,345 --> 01:37:00,315
and they are gonna address
all of your grievances.
1818
01:37:01,616 --> 01:37:02,951
So,
1819
01:37:03,818 --> 01:37:06,188
time to put on
those pads,
1820
01:37:06,321 --> 01:37:08,123
join your brothers,
and do battle.
1821
01:37:09,124 --> 01:37:10,692
Everybody's countin'
on you.
1822
01:37:12,427 --> 01:37:14,362
I'm countin' on you.
1823
01:37:17,799 --> 01:37:19,667
You know, I assure you,
LeMarcus,
1824
01:37:19,801 --> 01:37:21,603
this isn't
a ceremonial committee.
1825
01:37:21,736 --> 01:37:23,838
We're gonna dig down
into these issues
1826
01:37:23,972 --> 01:37:26,875
and figure out
what's best for all of us.
1827
01:37:29,744 --> 01:37:31,346
All right?
1828
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:33,548
Like the coach said,
we have a game to play.
1829
01:37:33,681 --> 01:37:35,683
Let's get the cameras in...
I didn't say yes.
1830
01:37:37,019 --> 01:37:38,720
[Everly]
What's that?
1831
01:37:39,654 --> 01:37:40,989
I didn't say yes.
1832
01:37:43,325 --> 01:37:45,160
[sighs]
1833
01:37:47,662 --> 01:37:49,564
What would it take
in your mind
1834
01:37:50,465 --> 01:37:52,400
to get to yes?
1835
01:37:54,569 --> 01:37:56,704
Well, our demands
haven't changed.
1836
01:38:01,243 --> 01:38:03,211
[chuckles]
1837
01:38:32,207 --> 01:38:34,109
[Katherine] That's
the sealed case file
1838
01:38:34,242 --> 01:38:36,544
from that fateful night
at the Gin Mill.
1839
01:38:39,314 --> 01:38:43,085
The detectives investigated
for two weeks, and then...
1840
01:38:43,218 --> 01:38:44,652
[sighs]
1841
01:38:44,786 --> 01:38:49,257
...suddenly, K.C. Walton
decided to drop the charges.
1842
01:38:55,597 --> 01:38:58,500
A lot of movin' pieces
in there, LeMarcus.
1843
01:38:59,467 --> 01:39:01,303
This thing is a minefield.
1844
01:39:03,105 --> 01:39:05,407
You find my brother yet?
[Katherine]
Getting close.
1845
01:39:05,540 --> 01:39:09,644
I'd really love
to stop the search
and just have a beer,
1846
01:39:10,778 --> 01:39:12,514
watch a football game.
1847
01:39:16,118 --> 01:39:18,253
Well, why don't
we tell 'em, Coach?
1848
01:39:19,587 --> 01:39:21,123
We're a wolf pack, right?
1849
01:39:23,091 --> 01:39:24,993
We hunt together,
we starve alone.
1850
01:39:25,127 --> 01:39:26,894
Ain't that the creed
you always preach?
1851
01:39:27,029 --> 01:39:30,465
Why don't we tell everybody
how high up this really goes?
1852
01:39:30,598 --> 01:39:32,500
Stop. Just stop.
1853
01:39:32,634 --> 01:39:35,570
Look, you come out
of this now,
1854
01:39:35,703 --> 01:39:37,939
you're not just
a Heisman Trophy winner,
1855
01:39:38,073 --> 01:39:40,008
NFL first-rounder.
1856
01:39:41,576 --> 01:39:44,812
You're an icon now.
You've already
accomplished that.
1857
01:39:44,946 --> 01:39:47,949
You're the Curt Flood
of collegiate athletics.
1858
01:39:49,117 --> 01:39:51,286
You're making
history here already.
1859
01:39:51,419 --> 01:39:53,121
They're gonna write books
about you.
1860
01:39:53,255 --> 01:39:55,557
Now, don't throw
everything away for-for
1861
01:39:55,690 --> 01:39:58,193
whatever this
self-righteous bullshit is.
1862
01:39:58,326 --> 01:39:59,961
Come on, man.
You've worked too hard.
1863
01:40:00,095 --> 01:40:01,329
[grunts softly]
1864
01:40:01,463 --> 01:40:03,798
We've worked too hard
for this.
1865
01:40:04,832 --> 01:40:07,001
Let's just go
fuckin' win this thing.
1866
01:40:08,670 --> 01:40:10,138
[scoffs]
1867
01:40:10,272 --> 01:40:11,306
Win.
1868
01:40:13,175 --> 01:40:15,410
That's all that
really matters, right?
1869
01:40:17,145 --> 01:40:18,613
Just win.
1870
01:40:20,182 --> 01:40:22,117
So that's what I did.
1871
01:40:22,250 --> 01:40:24,519
I won every damn game I could.
1872
01:40:25,953 --> 01:40:27,789
Conference championships,
1873
01:40:27,922 --> 01:40:30,458
Heisman Trophy--
I won and I won and I won.
1874
01:40:30,592 --> 01:40:35,029
Until you were so blind,
you didn't even see the game
I was really playin'.
1875
01:40:35,163 --> 01:40:37,465
You see,
in order to slay Goliath,
1876
01:40:37,599 --> 01:40:40,402
you gotta do it
on the biggest stage
with the brightest lights.
1877
01:40:40,535 --> 01:40:42,970
Millions of people,
an entire system,
1878
01:40:43,105 --> 01:40:45,907
so desperate
for one more win,
1879
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:47,675
they'd do anything,
give anything.
1880
01:40:47,809 --> 01:40:50,512
No matter how many bodies
you gotta stand on top of.
1881
01:40:51,646 --> 01:40:53,915
And then you got
your professor
1882
01:40:54,048 --> 01:40:55,750
who's fuckin'
the coach's wife...
1883
01:40:58,019 --> 01:40:59,754
to give you
everything you need.
1884
01:41:01,856 --> 01:41:03,591
And you win.
1885
01:41:03,725 --> 01:41:05,960
-You motherfucker!
-[excited chattering]
1886
01:41:06,094 --> 01:41:08,730
You ungrateful bi...
Coach, don't do it.
1887
01:41:08,863 --> 01:41:11,699
Goddamn you,
you fucking ungrateful...
1888
01:41:12,900 --> 01:41:15,870
Jesus fucking Christ,
LeMarcus.
1889
01:41:16,003 --> 01:41:18,940
My wife! My wife!
1890
01:41:22,644 --> 01:41:24,412
[quietly]
Oh, my God.
1891
01:41:29,817 --> 01:41:33,255
Jesus Christ, man.
Everything we've been
through together...
1892
01:41:35,423 --> 01:41:37,559
everything
I've done for you...
1893
01:41:40,228 --> 01:41:43,198
You were a pimply faced
little 16-year-old boy,
1894
01:41:44,566 --> 01:41:46,601
scared to leave home.
1895
01:41:48,770 --> 01:41:51,139
And I looked your mother
in the eyes,
1896
01:41:51,273 --> 01:41:54,342
and I said,
"I will take care
of your boy."
1897
01:41:54,476 --> 01:41:56,644
And that's
what I've done.
1898
01:41:59,814 --> 01:42:01,616
Treated you like my own.
1899
01:42:03,251 --> 01:42:05,086
Like my own son.
1900
01:42:10,492 --> 01:42:12,126
How could you...
1901
01:42:12,260 --> 01:42:13,761
[sighs]
1902
01:42:13,895 --> 01:42:15,763
Goddamn, LeMarcus.
1903
01:42:15,897 --> 01:42:17,932
[breathes shakily] Why?
1904
01:42:22,637 --> 01:42:24,606
For all the ones
to come, Coach.
1905
01:42:25,940 --> 01:42:27,842
The ones
who ain't as fortunate.
1906
01:42:29,611 --> 01:42:31,679
Get this broken system
unbroken.
1907
01:42:33,981 --> 01:42:35,917
So no more of us
get banged up
1908
01:42:36,050 --> 01:42:38,186
and forced back
into poverty,
1909
01:42:39,554 --> 01:42:41,589
just like what happened
to Reggie.
1910
01:42:44,459 --> 01:42:48,129
You were the only one
who knew about that file.
1911
01:42:48,263 --> 01:42:51,466
And you stoop even lower,
and you bring Reggie
into this?
1912
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:54,902
What, to you he's just...
1913
01:42:55,036 --> 01:42:57,639
he's just some pawn
that you can use against me?
1914
01:43:00,007 --> 01:43:01,643
He was my brother.
1915
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:06,180
He was a human being.
1916
01:43:09,551 --> 01:43:12,920
Reggie died four months ago
in Tallahassee.
1917
01:43:15,022 --> 01:43:16,324
He took his own life.
1918
01:43:16,458 --> 01:43:19,261
[quietly] Oh, Jesus. Fuck.
1919
01:43:19,394 --> 01:43:22,230
Y'all didn't know.
And what's worse,
y'all don't even care.
1920
01:43:24,332 --> 01:43:26,167
There's always
some new batch of kids
1921
01:43:26,301 --> 01:43:29,036
that get you more wins
and get you more money.
1922
01:43:33,007 --> 01:43:34,342
I am not your son.
1923
01:43:35,810 --> 01:43:37,144
I'm a man.
1924
01:43:39,547 --> 01:43:41,048
[sniffles]
1925
01:43:42,984 --> 01:43:44,419
Yeah, you are.
1926
01:43:49,524 --> 01:43:51,158
And I love you.
1927
01:43:56,097 --> 01:43:58,132
But I got
a football game to win.
1928
01:44:02,437 --> 01:44:04,071
[door opens]
1929
01:44:05,440 --> 01:44:06,874
[door closes]
1930
01:44:12,380 --> 01:44:14,416
[Mike clears throat]
Gentlemen, um,
1931
01:44:14,549 --> 01:44:16,250
would you step out
for a minute?
1932
01:44:17,385 --> 01:44:18,886
Give us some time?
1933
01:44:20,254 --> 01:44:21,589
[sniffles]
1934
01:44:39,374 --> 01:44:42,910
You open up that minefield,
it's gonna be more
than just me and Reggie.
1935
01:44:44,178 --> 01:44:45,780
On Coach's phone,
we got emails
1936
01:44:45,913 --> 01:44:48,049
from prosecutors,
law enforcement.
1937
01:44:48,182 --> 01:44:50,718
All of 'em were involved
in the cover-up.
1938
01:44:50,852 --> 01:44:53,087
Shoot, even the governor
1939
01:44:53,220 --> 01:44:55,623
chest bumps
in the locker room
on game day.
1940
01:44:57,392 --> 01:45:00,862
Coach's phone,
you'll find a text where
he promises to take care of it.
1941
01:45:05,633 --> 01:45:07,001
The martyr.
1942
01:45:08,336 --> 01:45:10,838
Willing to die
for the cause.
1943
01:45:10,972 --> 01:45:13,675
I find that courageous.
Admirable.
1944
01:45:15,076 --> 01:45:17,679
But what about Emmett Sunday?
1945
01:45:18,813 --> 01:45:21,015
You said you were
doing this for him.
1946
01:45:22,750 --> 01:45:24,151
Miss Poe?
1947
01:45:36,163 --> 01:45:37,532
[Katherine clears throat]
1948
01:45:37,665 --> 01:45:40,935
"It was chaos.
People everywhere.
1949
01:45:41,068 --> 01:45:44,005
Then all of a sudden,
LeMarcus James,
the quarterback,
1950
01:45:44,138 --> 01:45:46,974
showed up
with someone else.
1951
01:45:48,510 --> 01:45:52,146
[clears throat] A big guy.
It was really dangerous.
1952
01:45:52,279 --> 01:45:54,181
Then the big white guy
1953
01:45:55,583 --> 01:45:58,052
flew through the crowd
and hit one guy
1954
01:45:58,185 --> 01:46:01,355
who dropped like he was dead
and threw another guy
into a wall.
1955
01:46:01,489 --> 01:46:04,659
LeMarcus grabbed the man
the crew were beating on,
1956
01:46:04,792 --> 01:46:06,428
and everyone ran.
1957
01:46:07,629 --> 01:46:10,231
Like I said,
it was chaos."
That was self-defense.
1958
01:46:11,332 --> 01:46:13,401
[Mike]
Maybe so. Maybe so.
1959
01:46:14,402 --> 01:46:15,703
But does it matter?
1960
01:46:17,238 --> 01:46:19,707
We go down this road,
1961
01:46:19,841 --> 01:46:21,909
they won't be putting you
on trial,
1962
01:46:22,043 --> 01:46:24,712
they'll be putting
your best friend, Emmett.
1963
01:46:25,847 --> 01:46:29,216
Now, do you have the stomach
to watch the sharks
1964
01:46:29,350 --> 01:46:31,486
rip him apart limb by limb
1965
01:46:31,619 --> 01:46:35,022
in front of the whole world
and leave him destroyed,
1966
01:46:35,156 --> 01:46:36,323
canceled?
1967
01:46:38,392 --> 01:46:40,428
LeMarcus,
you're standing toe-to-toe
with the behemoth,
1968
01:46:40,562 --> 01:46:42,564
and we haven't even
begun to fight.
1969
01:46:44,532 --> 01:46:46,768
College football is more
important than you,
1970
01:46:46,901 --> 01:46:48,870
me, Emmett,
1971
01:46:49,003 --> 01:46:51,038
or whatever really is
on that phone.
1972
01:46:52,674 --> 01:46:54,676
The American people
1973
01:46:54,809 --> 01:46:57,111
will let the state
of Missouri
fall under the sea
1974
01:46:57,244 --> 01:46:58,846
rather than give up
Saturday afternoon,
1975
01:46:58,980 --> 01:47:00,682
drunk and roaring
for their alma mater.
1976
01:47:02,950 --> 01:47:04,952
We're inevitable
as the rain.
1977
01:47:12,426 --> 01:47:14,662
Now, you gonna put
on that helmet or not?
1978
01:47:23,270 --> 01:47:25,840
[crowd cheering]
1979
01:47:29,276 --> 01:47:32,547
[sportscaster on TV] ...gearing
up for the college football
national title game.
1980
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:34,381
The fans are buzzing
with excitement...
1981
01:47:34,516 --> 01:47:37,151
[Emmett] "Inevitable"?
Like what?
1982
01:47:38,553 --> 01:47:39,887
The rain.
1983
01:47:41,723 --> 01:47:44,091
"I'm inevitable
as the rain."
1984
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,630
Feels powerful.
Mm-hmm.
1985
01:47:48,763 --> 01:47:50,397
It was.
1986
01:47:54,802 --> 01:47:56,170
[bones popping]
1987
01:47:56,303 --> 01:47:58,072
[sighs]
1988
01:47:58,205 --> 01:48:01,142
Gonna have to drain
the fluid out of this
damn thing again.
1989
01:48:04,912 --> 01:48:07,381
You look better. Lighter.
1990
01:48:07,515 --> 01:48:09,450
Finally breathe
through my nose.
1991
01:48:10,618 --> 01:48:13,821
By the way,
that Doc Holliday head fake,
1992
01:48:13,955 --> 01:48:16,658
you playing like you were
on your deathbed,
was sure good.
1993
01:48:17,592 --> 01:48:19,460
[scoffs]
1994
01:48:19,594 --> 01:48:23,064
Lacked the nuance of Kilmer,
but, uh, I bought it.
1995
01:48:24,031 --> 01:48:25,667
I'll be your Huckleberry.
1996
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,235
[both chuckle]
1997
01:48:34,609 --> 01:48:36,844
You sure they didn't try
to use me against you?
1998
01:48:36,978 --> 01:48:38,179
Nah.
1999
01:48:39,614 --> 01:48:41,282
I swear.
2000
01:48:41,415 --> 01:48:43,517
'Cause if I find out
that you were...
2001
01:48:43,651 --> 01:48:45,219
Trust me.
2002
01:48:45,352 --> 01:48:48,155
They know this fight hurts them
way more than it hurts us.
2003
01:48:48,289 --> 01:48:52,026
All those people involved
in the cover-up,
they ain't doin' shit.
2004
01:48:52,159 --> 01:48:55,362
[Levy] The Superdome
in New Orleans is ready
to explode with excitement.
2005
01:48:55,496 --> 01:48:58,299
Tonight, it's the Snickers
National Title game.
2006
01:48:58,432 --> 01:49:00,167
Hi, everybody,
and good evening.
2007
01:49:00,301 --> 01:49:02,236
I'm Steve Levy,
along with Malcolm Jenkins,
2008
01:49:02,369 --> 01:49:03,838
and this one has
all the makings.
2009
01:49:03,971 --> 01:49:05,539
This could be a classic.
No.
2010
01:49:05,673 --> 01:49:07,074
[Levy] We're talking about
for years to come...
2011
01:49:07,208 --> 01:49:09,443
Leave it.
...for a variety
of reasons.
2012
01:49:09,577 --> 01:49:11,378
A lot of the controversy
still looms
2013
01:49:11,512 --> 01:49:13,581
with LeMarcus James bein'
missin' from the action,
2014
01:49:13,715 --> 01:49:16,350
as he continues his fight
against the NCAA practices,
2015
01:49:16,483 --> 01:49:18,753
a stance that has gone
crazy on social media...
Whoo. Yes, sir.
2016
01:49:18,886 --> 01:49:20,622
...with the viral hashtag,
"Fix the System."
2017
01:49:20,755 --> 01:49:22,790
[Levy] How about
one million tweets
2018
01:49:22,924 --> 01:49:24,959
the last 12 hours alone?
2019
01:49:25,092 --> 01:49:27,428
My sense is,
this is only the beginning.
2020
01:49:27,561 --> 01:49:31,132
How do you think that translates
onto the field the next
60 minutes we'll see tonight?
2021
01:49:31,265 --> 01:49:33,467
[Jenkins] I think
you'll see these coaches
have these teams prepared.
2022
01:49:33,601 --> 01:49:35,402
These players have worked
so hard to get to this moment,
2023
01:49:35,536 --> 01:49:37,071
that I think
they'll be focused...
2024
01:49:37,204 --> 01:49:38,773
At least we made
some noise, right?
2025
01:49:38,906 --> 01:49:40,775
...knowing that
this is everything...
2026
01:49:40,908 --> 01:49:42,744
Oh, that wasn't just noise.
2027
01:49:44,145 --> 01:49:46,247
The truth is out now
because of us.
2028
01:49:47,414 --> 01:49:48,950
And they can't hide it.
2029
01:49:50,317 --> 01:49:52,920
Now more people are gonna
stand up, a lot more.
2030
01:49:54,021 --> 01:49:56,523
And they'll know
right where to hit 'em.
2031
01:49:57,591 --> 01:49:58,760
Yeah.
2032
01:50:00,662 --> 01:50:01,763
Yeah.
2033
01:50:02,596 --> 01:50:03,931
Hell, yeah.
2034
01:50:04,065 --> 01:50:06,734
Man, we're like the Rebels
in Rogue One.
2035
01:50:09,370 --> 01:50:11,906
We die on the beach,
2036
01:50:12,039 --> 01:50:15,142
but the plans
for the Death Star
make it off the island.
2037
01:50:23,217 --> 01:50:25,486
Nothing is inevitable
except the truth.
