Previously on Heels.

Tell them that they need to sell me on why they should be the ones to help

Continuum launch its new wrestling league, corporation, whatever the hell

we're calling it this week. I got 36 hours to impress someone that I don't

who's got questions but I don't know what. And he said that four different

times. You gotta impress him. Jack, you impress someone by just walking into a

room. The Condemned and Crystal will both be at the event next week.

Armageddon divided we stand.

Hey, Willie, you know what? I know you don't respect me, but you've got to

respect the fact that I know talent and I know what to do with it. And just like

what I've done with Rooster, I want to do the same for Crystal, but also for

you. I need your help. We need to impress this corporate continuum lady

tomorrow. I know they're looking at dystopia because that's where we met

but we need to out -gully go.

What do you want to do exactly?

I just want to be useful.

When can you start?

Yesterday. The DWL is what you and me do.

Ace has a different destiny.

Bill came to you with a golden ticket just for you. I was not prepared.

Hey, I heard about Ace.

That's a big opportunity.

That's exciting. That's so great for him. Yeah.

It knocked me down.

There's two kinds of women. There are women who get taken care of. That's you.

And then there's me. I get dirty and I fix shit. So you don't have to spend a

single second worrying about unfixed shit. What's going on here, Willie?

What if... Knowing stuff means finding out that DWL can't keep itself afloat

legally and never has.

Is that really something you want to know? There's a lot of stuff in those

boxes. Like what?

Shady stuff.

Consequential, it's discovered. I think your dad did stuff that could make

everything that we rebuilt all get destroyed, and I have no idea what to do

about it.

I hate him.

for the answer I

will walk in the shore

find you define the

peace that you

That was terrible.

What the fuck are you thinking?

I'm trying to add some arrows to my moveset.

Can't be adding flippity -doos you can't even do into a foam pit.

It's not a good use of your energy.

It's not your wheelhouse. Save it for the pool.

Can't be begging God for new gifts at your age, son.

You're not a high flyer, Jack. You never will be.

The pursuit of versatility is a vice.

You can't look at every limitation as something that has to be overcome.

Just accept that God doesn't give with both hands.

But don't forget what he did give you.

You're great on the mic. You're solid.

You retain muscle without much effort. But you've got the quads and the thighs

of a catcher.

You're a grappler, Jack, a technician.

Be a good base.

You're not going to suddenly be a butterfly, man.

Put over the guys that can't pull this shit off.

Dad, I'm just trying to... What, turn yourself into Ray Mysterio?

We are who we are, Jack.

I can't do this shit either.

Only athlete in this family who can is Ace.

Thankfully, he's got bigger and better plans now.

Work smart, goddammit.

Hey, Kenneth, how we doing today?

The same.

You want to play a game?

Bonnie, I'm so grateful you just come all the way out here. I know you're

I just... I knew if people downtown saw me walking into your law office... No

need to apologize, Stacy. The outside of church is a good one.

And I don't really want to go into my office either.

Sorry, I'm sick about all this.

Bonnie, is what we discussed protected?

Legally, I mean. I mean, it's confidential, right?

You got any change in that purse?

Sure, I do.

Grab me a dime.

Would you like my legal advice during this initial consultation?

Yes.

Hand me the dime, please.

Once that dime is in my hand... It will ensure that anything we discuss will be

protected.

Great. Now what's troubling you?

Oh, and Jack and I are great, by the way. That's not what this is about.

The DWL's not so much.

Nice job bailing on class, pussy.

When's the flight?

Three, but I'm not going. And you call me a pussy is insulting to women

everywhere. Dickface, you're coming to Georgia with me for this event. You can

do the paperwork for Palm Springs when you get back. It's an escrow thing.

I own a home. I know what escrow is. You don't got to be there. I do.

Caitlin should go. If we don't start letting her experience bigger stuff,

quit. Caitlin didn't scout these wrestling people. I'm not going to know

I'm looking at.

You'll have Caitlin.

I don't like Caitlin.

I don't think you like me.

I don't, but it's a familiar dislike.

The condemned in that, um...

Crystal Chick are going to be there, right? I'm not going to go if they're

going to be wrestling.

Jack has assured me that they're both going to be in the show, the match.

They're both going to be in the match.

Before you get to Duffy, I did a little bit of research.

I think these two guys actually hate each other. For real.

Charlie Gully has a lawsuit out against Jack Spade for personal injury.

It's footage of the fight on YouTube.

What? Step that back. The likelihood of a man punching another man in

professional wrestling and causing actual injury seems low. The audience

after Jack to kick his ass is real. The lawsuit is real. I'm not sure how these

guys are going to take to us blending their promotions.

Brooks, where'd you get your MBA?

Wharton School of Business.

Me? I went to the University of New Hampshire, also known as Peter T. Paul

College of Business and Economics.

You know what I learned at Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics that

I presume you learned at Wharton School of Nursing?

Is that you don't tell anybody anything that you want them to do that they may

not want to do until you have them under contract.

What if they don't like working with each other once we have them under

contract? What do you think a binding contract is for?

You're going to be in charge of making sure that these two companies work

together. You're going to have to explain it to them, not me.

Be nice to Kate. I don't care. She doesn't know that you're joking all the

I'm not joking all the time.

Oh, hey, Bob.

We got the new Crystal merch.

We got ladies cut and we got extra, extra small for the little girls because

they love Crystal whether she's good or bad.

Thank you, Debbie. You're welcome.

Care not a whit, Jack. Not a single whit. Gully's Latin package is straight

our power print.

Backup generator's being delivered.

Hey, hey, hey, how'd the meeting with Monica go? You said you didn't run into

people in town going into her law office.

She came to our house discreetly, and the takeaway was that right now she said

we shouldn't try to break into jail.

She said since people aren't asking, we don't need to go tell them, which

doesn't make me feel any better about it.

But we've got to get those banker boxes out of the building. I don't know where

they're going, but they can't be here. And she said Willie's got to tell us the

truth, all of it, no matter where it leads.

If this thing is built on a house of sand, so be it.

At least we know it.

Okay.

Yeah, my buddy Tom Welch works in the admissions office at Michigan, and I'll

make sure he flags Robin's application.

You don't have to do that.

What's the point of having old friends? He loves helping people.

Thank you so much, Mr. Gold. I'm happy to do it. I know how stressful this

process can be. I went through it with my daughter last year. Where's she

Notre Dame.

I gave Robin a journal with a new Ropney quote. Tell him, Robin. Go ahead.

Courage means being afraid to do something but still doing it. I need

journal. Where'd you get that?

Barnes & Noble.

They're still open? Oh, yeah. Love that place.

Well, anyways, thank you. Yeah. Hey, Ted. And we'll leave you to your work

Okay. Robin, it's going to be fine. Wherever you end up going.

Yeah, it's a good kid.

Nice family.

I don't really need that coffee.

Really? Tick -tock fucky.

Look, let's just, you know, let's put that behind us, okay?

I'm trying to be respectful here.

I'm not raging, I'm not kicking or breaking anything or doing the whole

hothead thing.

I'm offering both you and Crystal an opportunity.

She can continue to be a guest at the DWL. I'm willing to work with whatever

is she wants to do. End of the day, I run a business.

I want that business to succeed, so I continue to look for ways to make it

succeed. This is one of the ways.

If you decide that dystopia... Isn't a good move for Crystal's career right

No hard feelings, okay? You and I return to profane repartee in our usual loving

fashion. However, if you decide to pursue this, let's paper the deal.

Continuum's interest in us is just telling me that others are going to be

interested.

All right.

I'll see myself to the door.

Before I go, I want you to take these.

as a deposit.

If we move forward with the contract, consider it in advance.

One pouch for Crystal, one pouch for you.

If not, we'll figure out down the line.

I know where you live.

But I've got to have your answer tonight, Willie.

I'm moving on one way or the other.

Is there a sound or a word that you're interested in uttering to signal that

just absorbed and considered anything I just said?

Thank you again.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I beat you? I can't. Yes, you did.

Hey, new guy, get in here. I need your help.

Come on.

Hey, Mr. Wingate. Can you help me get him back in? I got you. I got you. Come

on. Roll over. Here you go. Here you go. Pass me.

Here you go.

Call Dr. Goldman.

Okay.

You're going to be okay.

Can you stay with her? We'll be right back.

You okay, Miss Wingate?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Morning.

Where are you headed with those?

Tell me what's in them.

I feel like we talked about that.

I'll just look myself.

Fine. Let me show you something.

Willie,

what are we doing?

Hey, come see.

Why do you want to show me this?

Parcels of property are all zoned differently, which means they're all

differently.

You know the kinds of property that have significantly lower tax rates?

Agricultural ones.

Farms.

But even a little one like this, once a year, someone's got to come out from the

tax commissioner's office and inspect the property.

They give our crops a quick look and ask for some kind of proof that we're

selling them and check a single box on a single form. Tax rates stay low.

The Spade family farm has been run by the family for generations. Well, one

generation, I guess.

Not surprisingly, we haven't had a year yet where we turn to profit.

But operating at a loss?

That's a whole other tax issue.

Some farms even get public assistance if they have to sell their crops at a

loss. Oh, my God.

Remember that stuff I said to you about knowing and not knowing?

Well, now you know this part.

Guess I'm relieved.

It's nicer than I thought it'd be, handing it off to you.

Come see.

You ought to buy a lot of stuff when you run a farm.

Supplies, equipment.

You ought to keep the receipts for those supplies and equipment so you get the

tax write -off.

Sometimes you buy things you never even used, but you sell those things.

You still got the receipt.

Oh, and sometimes you buy things that don't even exist.

Tractor, industrial mower.

Lucky lawn care was always great about giving us receipts even when we walked

out of there with nothing at all.

Jack.

Tom. Did you forget he worked there first?

He and Lucky Sr. were fishing buddies.

So now you know.

Willie.

I'm not one of the two kinds of women you mentioned.

I'm the kind who faces things head on as they are.

So fix it, Stace.

Fix it.

Once this event is rendered and completed, as you've both agreed to in

document, Mr. Jack Spade and the Duffy Wrestling League will be absolved of any

current or future legal action related to the previous act of violence

perpetuated upon Mr.

Charles Gulley by Mr. Spade. If you both agree, sign here and we will have this

notarized by Ms. Robert.

Kathy Roberts.

By Ms. Roberts.

I'm glad you both settled this without any legal action.

It really shows that there's other ways and other solutions to solving problems,

and I think you both, despite the tension, benefited from this.

Jack, hands don't get shook until my referee calls the final match the way in

which we agreed to in this document.

This isn't over until dystopia is standing with our hands raised while Ace

his back crying on the mat.

Then the bell rings, then we know it's over.

Don't you fuck around and shoot on me, Jack.

Do what you promise or I'll bulldoze the DWO.

Don't tempt me.

And now that I know that Jen Lussier is going to be here watching me, I'm

watching you.

Thank you, Ms. Roberts.

How was work?

I watched a man die.

Oh, my God.

That used to be terrible.

I was there to, you know, help him through it.

Mama, can I say something?

I can't really say to anybody but you.

Always.

The day Dad shot himself, I ran down the stairs and I found him.

Didn't step towards him, I stepped back.

I mean, I looked at him for a second, and then I looked away and I thought, I

can't put his face where the bullet went in and came out.

Back together.

I couldn't even think of anything comforting to say, even as his soul was

watching me be so useless.

I couldn't even say, like...

Your burdens are gone, be free.

I just kept crying.

I just kept saying, why, why, why, why, why?

You could have called 911.

I was a coward that day.

He didn't survive the gunshot.

It's... It's a scary way to be right now.

It's frightening because I feel this growth inside of me, but Mama...

God caused that growth.

I'm God's field.

God's farm.

He planted this yearning inside of me to be more of a person than just chasing

after some selfish thing. I mean, our job as people is to help each other find

these little moments of elation between the toil and the uncertainty and the

struggle, the going after, the getting, the winning.

My whole life I was focused on how to win.

I was turning into a competitor for amateur sports when...

I should have been cultivating kindness.

Yes.

I made a big mistake this past year.

I tried to face the horror of what your daddy did with dignity.

Accept it.

Move on.

Only recently I realized that was a terrible mistake because to honor horror

to give it a place of importance.

I wanted to overcome it.

moved past it before facing it, admitting what it was, horrible.

Loving someone is surprising in ways you don't expect when you first fall in

love. The longer you live with someone, their disappointments become yours,

their sadness, their pain.

And that's what love should be, a harbor, a shelter.

But when you discover that loving people can't make them happy anymore,

You feel useful.

We're used to feel useful.

Feeling called to something is a good thing, Ace.

Just consider what that calling is tied to. Because sometimes the thing that we

are called to can break our hearts.

Even when it starts from love.

Really just gave it to you and didn't say there were people there. She just

the goalie gave it to her to give to me.

That feels substantial.

Should we zip it?

Wow. He really wants you to go to dystopia.

So does Willie.

You remember when you were worried about keeping your momentum, which was like

two seconds ago, everywhere you go, people notice you. It may take them a

minute, but they notice.

When you're in the room, the light just finds you.

Even more since I met you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I gotta go get ready.

Hey, kick ass tonight.

You, too.

Brother, this... Place is packed.

And here we are.

Once more unto the breach.

What exactly is a breach?

It's breaking the wall if you burst through and launch an attack.

Shakespeare, Henry V.

Once more into battle.

No matter the battle, we must battle.

Thank you for going to battle with me.

It's just a wrestling match.

Well, there's a lot at stake.

I'm sorry it's you out there taking the fall tonight because of me.

Hey, apologize for that again and we'll punch you in the face.

Besides, I could still go Bruce Banner in the ring and shoot on you.

It's a joke. I joke.

Ace, you deserve to win tonight.

All the eyes on you.

Crowd, live stream, continuum.

The condemned gimmick you came up with, I didn't know if it was going to work.

All stuff I put you through.

You deserve your chance to shine.

Hey, just because I ain't winning don't mean I ain't shining. You taught me

that. At least you tried to.

The goddamn story is about service. I'm part servant, part sentinel. Gully

thinks that we're doing him a favor by having me laid out on the mat losing?

Nah. It's perfect.

It's just a story.

We'll write a new one tomorrow.

A resurrection.

Look, man, in a few hours we'll be done with Gully.

I'm sorry I ever went to Florida and made you feel like you had to come save

Apologize again to me for that and I'll punch you in the face.

Guess we apologize a lot?

We fuck up a lot.

Jay.

You carried the DWL?

You resurrected this.

You.

You're the brains.

You're the inspiration.

Thanks for saying that.

Ace, time to gear up?

Yeah. All right.

Go fuck yourself.

You too.

Thank you?

I mean it?

I don't know that I've ever had anyone looking out for me in the way that you

have.

I just... I don't want to leave here.

Or the people.

Not right now.

It's gonna be a great night, boss!

Yeah, don't go drinking this shit, Debbie.

Focus. Eddie?

Bobby, 30 -minute warning.

Thank you all so much for coming. I know it's a long flight from L .A. Excited

to be here. Your sizzle reel was incredible.

Well, now you get to see us up close and personal.

Jen, so nice to see you again.

Lucy, Paul, big night.

We'll be setting on fire first.

Stacey, Lucy Gulley. Oh, hi, Lucy. Welcome to Dusty. Thank you. Stacey,

Paul Gulley. We had a great turnout.

It's going to be a good night tonight. Nice to meet you.

All right,

Jackie boy, here we go.

Folks are filing in.

Kelly's panties have been ironed and folded. Hopefully he won't try to put

legs through the same hole. We'll be done here in about about two hours.

Just want all of us to go over.

That is on each individual at this point.

Everybody's getting to wrestle in front of an electric crowd.

That's all you can control.

That and your attitude, knowing that you are pursuing things that are ineffable.

Tonight, it's enough to just go out and put on a great show.

Let the backstage drama fall away and just answer the call.

Think about the last few months.

I came to Scout Ace, you pinned him in seven seconds, and you both got pelted

with shit.

Don't need to go over it.

But we shall, because it's revealing.

Essentially, everything that got you here has been a shoot.

You turned eighth heel without him knowing. He bent Bobby's leg because,

hell, his heart was broke.

We got the fair because I'd been fired, just happened to be in town.

You punched out Gully. Then you two brothers beat the crap out of each

crapped my pants, and Crystal saved us from getting mired in all the crap we

crapped all over, and that's just the DWL.

Bill, have you been reflecting on all this?

Yeah, I have.

Post -fair, you got to explain Crystal having the belt and put her over. And

then egomaniac Gully rolls us into his promotion in a Trojan horse thinking

we're doing his bidding. But he's done ours by getting us noticed because we

good.

Tonight, we have a chance to be great.

How we booked it.

Not a shoot.

Whatever comes from tonight.

Nothing we can do about it.

It's written in the stars.

You just play it beat by beat.

How you booked it. As good as you are, you could not have scripted what got us

here. But tonight you have.

It's enough to have just one big night go the way you booked it.

Then you're truly a professional.

So just...

Go wrestle.

Thanks for being a real friend, Bill.

Thank you for giving me a family.

Showtime.

Duffy, Georgia.

It's me, Eddie Earl. We are streaming live from the Duffy Dome. Happy

Harmageddon, the DWL vs. Florida Wrestling Dystopia. Joining me as

Star Statement, Bobby Pym. We'll get out your inhalers and your baby aspirin.

Breathtaking, heart -stopping action is coming your way now.

Nice merch.

I should get some merch in pink.

You know, if you're not going on last, there's nothing better than going first.

This crowd hasn't seen you since you were there, champ.

Their hate will hit you like a wave.

Hang ten, kid.

And hit Crystal's music.

Fans are bellowing their once beloved with resounding hate. That's right,

You know, traitors were shot in the old days. Today, they just get food.

She'll be battling El Dorado, who now holds the DWI women's belt that Crystal

vacated with her defector.

tell this crowd is glad to see somebody put Crystal Tyler in her place.

So

much

for girlish joy.

Oh, El Dorado takes the front bend of that. Right in the dimples.

They went for a hockey player at the beginning of that one.

Miss Congeniality crowned tonight.

No, sir, Eddie. And you can hear this divided crowd loving this match.

Oh, do -si -do.

Elbow shot to the head. Oh, that's cheap.

That's cheap right there.

Oh,

that's a reversal. El Dorado has her in the reverse DDT, but it looks like

Crystal Tyler. Yes, you reversed out of it. Oh, that's a chin there, Eddie. I'd

be surprised if El Dorado has a thing.

Oh, man.

Oh,

what a recovery from Crystal.

What is she saying to the crowd?

She thinks she's got this in her hand.

Well, we'll see here.

I know I'm supposed to hate her, but I can't. I know, she just kicks too much

ass. The crowd tries to boost El Dorado, getting her back into this match.

Wait, I thought that Crystal was fighting for the DWL. Not tonight, she's

fighting for the FWD. But she's really with the DWL. Let's go, Al!

Crystal whips her across the ring.

Slams her into the turnbuckle.

She's been missing a big reversal flip.

She didn't stay down as long as El Dorado thought she was.

and this crowd loves to hate Mr. Tyler.

Mr. Tyler, still undefeated, ladies and gentlemen, became, she saw, she

conquered, took the chance.

Well done.

shot from behind

So now it all comes down to the main event for this battle of brand

And there he is, the DWL

turncoat and current FWD world champion, Booster Robbins.

And he is accompanied by the CEO and founder. of the Florida Wrestling

the self -anointed god of chaos, Charlie Gulley.

Gulley and Rooks' unbridled obsession with the condemned has all led to this

moment, Eddie. All their chips are in.

Just a fact, ladies and gentlemen, you'd be looking up for a zipline or

whatever.

This match, anything goes. This entire dome is their playing field. No

no disqualifications.

We are underway, ladies and gentlemen.

Nice swing, Dad.

That is so cheap. So cheap, darling.

Oh, now they're all in the red.

Let's have no rules, shall we? This is absolutely better.

Start the count.

Come on, now.

This is so far away.

Eddie, this is just hard to watch.

You want to be their savior?

I'll treat you like one. String them up, boys.

This is the new definition of low blow.

Finish the condemned.

No! You're a scumbag, Joey!

Come on, Rooster, play fair!

If you know any prayers, then pass.

Don't do it. And it's Crystal Tyler.

We signed up to be wrestlers.

Not whatever this is.

You listen to her.

Don't do it, Rooster.

Don't listen to them.

Do it.

I have given you both everything.

You've got to finish him off right now.

I don't want to win this way.

I'm done taking your blood money.

Where are you going?

Get back here!

Finish the job!

Hey, Gully!

It's over.

You got to do it yourself.

Isn't that right?

Partner.

Oh, my God.

Partner? No. Eddie, what does he mean, partner?

I'll take that. No. What do you think about this? Stop it.

FWD.

This is just despicable, Eddie. This is Duffy's own Benedict Arnold. Yo, it's

times like this that I wish this was all fake.

I've been working with Charlie Gunn.

Anything. Keep the DWL alive.

But the truth is, I hope the DWL dies just like our

coward.

I was this close to cashing in

before you rode back into town.

Now you call yourself a condamned. Y 'all can see that's just my little baby

brother ain't big.

Hell then, I'll save it. The DWL.

Well, bro.

It is time for me to put you down and put an end to

our father's pathetic legacy.

Tonight's last man standing match is now looking down

versus me.

DWL. You keep it all for yourself.

I'll leave Duffy forever.

But when I win, when that referee counts to ten, me and

Gully, we're going to burn this bitch to the ground.

This right here, it's still my promotion.

Ring the goddamn bell.

I didn't go that bell and I'll make six matches.

Mr. Last Man Standing matches now between The Condamned and Jack Spade. It

horrible.

Shut the house down.

Hey, here's your cadet. Watch this.

Cheap shot.

Can the cadet even get up?

Jack Spade showing no respect for the cadet or wrestling at all.

Cheap shoot to the midsection.

Wow, that's a real chair.

cheapness in on his own time.

Well, I was a little better myself. I like to see this kind of stuff.

We got the table spot, then you fill up for the whole spot.

Selling shit on his brother?

He's got bad intent.

He's not getting a Christmas card from Annie and I this year.

It looks like they condemned him to losing steam.

Where does he find the strength to become an Avenger?

Oh, he's going up to the...

of the entryway.

Hey, whatever's about to happen cannot be good.

Oh, he's ripped off that cheap shirt. Well, that's the start.

What the

fuck,

Jack? Surprise, surprise.

Jack isn't sticking to the script.

They're just feeling the crowd out. Yeah, feeling the crowd out my ass.

They do what they want to do. They can't help it.

has just pulled off one of the most difficult moves in all of wrestling to

the cadet down.

All right, nice

move, Jack.

Which one of these warriors is going to get up first?

Thanks for telling me I can wrestle, Jack.

Two. All right.

Come on, Jack.

Three.

It's your turn to win, Ace.

Get up.

What if it doesn't matter?

All that matters is that we both got over, Jack.

Stick to the script.

Keep your head for the command.

Not Jack Spade.

Get up.

Fine!

Get up. It's what the crowd wants.

Start selling it!

Jack, go. You'll put us out of business.

Jack!

Start getting up, Jack. Start selling it!

Nothing with this family.

Never nothing.

Not now, Jack.

Get Jack.

What happened, Jack?

Jack, get up.

I can't.

What do you mean?

I'm hurt.

What an incredible night.

Jack!

Get up at nine, okay?

You sell shit out of it.

We did this. We did.

Get up, Jack!

All right!

Sit down, Ace!

Get back down.

Fuck you, Jack.

I'll fucking kill you, motherfucker.

The condemned has risen. The condemned has won it for the DWL.

The condemned has risen. The condemned is your Armageddon champion, the

DWL champion.

You should have listened.

Jack, honey, why didn't you get up?

I can't hear my legs.

Well, there you have it. Another great night from Duffy, Georgia. The cradle of

wrestling. From everybody at the DWL, this is Eddie Earl wishing you a good

night.
