Where's your head, Joe?

I'm fine.

You're off your mark.

You're not relaxing through the technicals and your lungs are gone on

I want you to see this misuse.

Feel clear your head.

I hope this isn't another guru's zen waste of time.

If you don't place in your next race, your sponsors are going to run.

It's not like they'd do anything for me anyway.

Hey, I haven't seen a penny in three months.

That's not right.

What's going on here?

Jane?

Come on Joe, what are you doing?

I've done this climb a thousand times.

Would you like some water? You look really hot.

I'm a little thirsty.

My bad.

Take care of business.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah.

Fired him.

You did what?

You didn't have what it takes, Joe.

Take you all the way, so... I got a new trainer coming in tomorrow.

It's bullshit, Chief.

You get Carl back, or I quit now.

Go ahead, bust those knuckles on my face. Maybe riding in pain will do you

good, huh?

Peck, you shouldn't leave.

You can fire Carl, and I can fire you.

I ain't fired.

Bullshit, Chief. You're fired.

I don't want you as a manager no more.

I ain't fired, Joe.

I'll get Carl back, and then I'm going all the way.

I ain't fired, Joe, and you know it.

Come on.

Carl agreed.

What, he wanted to leave?

Yeah, he knew he had to.

Got all the skills.

You're there.

I don't know, Chief.

You were playing me out there, weren't you?

Playing me.

You ass, I knew it.

Scared the crap out of me, Joe.

You know I can do any climb.

I know.

I know, Joe.

You're gonna like that new trainer.

Promise. Hey, Joe.

I want you to meet someone.

Lee. Lee. Joe.

My new masseuse, I see.

I'll let you two get acquainted.

Well, Lee, I'm not exactly warmed up yet, but I could go for a quickie before

sprints.

I'm your trainer.

That's funny.

What, did Chief put you up to this, getting me back for yesterday?

No joke, Joe.

I'm here to set you...

straight. You have stamina and speed, but you don't have the love.

You need to find the zone.

I don't know what Chief told you, but I don't need a trainer.

I saw the Monaco tapes, Joe.

Stage four, two miles to go, 45 second lead. You hesitated.

Your eyes close.

The world slows down.

You lose focus.

Why? You let 45 seconds become 10.

What happened?

You're the goddamn trainer. You tell me.

With a tough rate. Maybe I was tired.

You were tired?

Why? Were they better than you?

No.

Then why?

I don't know. Something happened. I don't know why.

It was like... It was like I didn't care.

You wouldn't understand.

You're not my trainer.

Chief says otherwise.

Yeah. Well, Chief doesn't pay the bills.

You gonna prove you're my trainer?

Don't flatter yourself, honey.

I'm already a quarter mile ahead.

Fine.

Remember Chicago?

Chicago, yeah.

The guy that swung his... Oh, that's not... Good.

I'm moving right up your ass, lady.

Two bucks a head, one on each side.

You just failed your first attempt, Joe.

You took your eyes off the race.

It's open, Jane.

Baby, I am glad you're here.

Some new bitch trainer just put me through the wringer.

I wish she had been there. I would have had you kick her ass.

If she tries that again, I might just forget I'm a gentleman.

Ow! Jesus, Jane, you... You can stop forgetting to be a gentleman now.

What are you doing here?

I want to meet Jane.

She's not a distraction.

Really?

Look, I'll try this Zen crap, but man does not live on bread alone.

I want to see what my rider does in his off hours.

Your rider?

I don't need a trainer.

We'll see about that.

You ready to meet my distraction?

Shall I leave?

Oh, no.

You don't know Jane.

She wants you to stay.

Hi. How are you?

Where's Jane?

Jane sent me instead.

Who's this?

Jane didn't tell me I'd have a girl toy.

She's a bit homely.

Yeah.

Sorry you didn't get to meet Jane.

But you're more than welcome to join us for a little more training.

She's going to teach me the zen of racing.

Say a little strength for me, will you? Sure, baby.

I'll see you tomorrow, Jack.

Thank you.

Yeah. Oh,

yeah.

Oh shit.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Well, isn't this a bunch of crap?

You showed up.

So it can't be all wrong.

Or you wouldn't have come.

I thought you were my trainer. What the hell is this all about?

Training?

Well, shouldn't I be on a bike racing?

You said you didn't need a trainer.

I don't.

I want you to meditate before you ride.

You can't be serious.

You chicks and your damn candles. It's one thing when we're naked, but this?

Like it or not, Joe, you need to find a center before you ride.

When you are racing, what do you see?

I see the road, Lee. What do you think I see?

Well, that's why we're here.

We need to find out what it is you should see.

This is bullshit.

I need a ride, not meditate on autumn leaf.

Man, that guy rides like he's in another world.

Jerry, come in. Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm good.

What the hell happened?

I don't know. A rock skipped up on me. It happens.

Let's get that checked out.

Yeah, it's alright. It's nothing that masseuse can't work out.

Hello?

Anybody here?

I'm Joe.

Lee sent me.

Hello? I know who you are.

My shoulder's kind of out of it. I had a bit of a spill.

Remove your clothing and lie upon the table.

Close your eyes and think of nothing.

Be nothing.

Be nothing.

Be nothing.

All right.

Where's Joe?

The trainer I got him got a masseuse for him. He's there now.

Did you check out this masseuse first?

Yeah, she teaches tumbling on the weekends.

She's a loser.

Doesn't know shit about racing.

Then what the hell am I here for?

I'm worried about this deal.

Can't keep the money hidden forever.

He asked for an audit.

He doesn't know shit.

I got rid of Carl because of that.

Yeah, well, he freaked when I told him Carl was gone.

He almost fired me.

You gotta relax, baby. It's working perfect.

Carl was on to you.

I don't know.

It's getting tough.

The race was coming up soon.

You just keep training him. He's dropping in rank.

You just keep him busy, too, huh?

The sponsors don't have a clue, and he'll be stuck with the bill.

Yeah?

And by the time this is all over, he probably won't even remember who he is.

Do you have any extra time on your hands tonight?

Yeah, I do.

What do you have in mind?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I thought meditating on autumn leaf was a bunch of crap.

Well, I'm only trying once.

Why the sudden change of heart?

The masseuse.

She opened my eyes a bit.

I told you she was no ordinary masseuse.

So, how do I do this?

Breathe deep.

Let your mind wander.

And see where it takes you.

Now that wasn't so bad, was it?

No, that wasn't so bad.

Besides, your incense doesn't make me dizzy like Jane's does.

Do you think Jane uses makes you dizzy?

Yeah, puts me to sleep, mostly.

So,

what's the program today, coach?

More racing?

Yes, but not on a bike.

Today, we jog.

Jog?

Chief's okay with this?

It's the only way I can keep up with you.

Let's do it.

Okay.

It's me.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Joe didn't show up today.

Now, how am I supposed to know that?

You were supposed to have him on a short leash.

All right.

Okay, I'll meet you later.

You know, you never told me your background in biking.

You never asked.

Well, I'm asking now.

My first name isn't Lee.

It's Samantha.

Samantha Lee? As in gold medalist Samantha Lee in Sydney?

Oh, man.

And here I thought you were a hack the whole time.

I've been called worse.

I read somewhere that you blew out a knee last year in trials.

I spent the last nine months as a park and rec teacher when the sponsors all

bailed.

Oh, hey.

I'm really sorry. I didn't know.

No one does.

But that's where he found me.

Chief found my trainer at a park and rec?

He must have flipped out finding a gym there.

He told me he'd give me an extra ten grand if I didn't tell you I was a

gymnastics teacher.

Why didn't you tell him who you are?

Because I didn't want you to know.

So you could get the money.

No. If I told him, he wouldn't have hired me, Joe.

Why wouldn't Chief hire the best goddamn woman's roadrunner in the world?

Because I don't think he wants you to win.

Why wouldn't he want me to win?

There's tons of money and fame in it for him.

I don't know why.

Your last train in Carl Leeds was the best.

Doesn't make sense to me.

Sometimes managing a loser is more profitable than managing a winner. But

takes care of everything.

The training, the sponsors.

What sponsors do you have?

Great ones.

Shoes, bikes.

I even got a fruit drink.

You're worth a lot of money. But if you fail, who takes the fall?

Chief? Or you?

And who handles the money?

Then if not for the money, then why did you do it?

I was in Monaco when you won.

I watched all the races I could.

You're a fan of my riding?

I never paid attention to the race.

Just you.

All right.

Ready?

and listen.

Get rid of that trainer.

Just dump her.

What are you doing here?

It's over, Jane.

You and Chief are gone.

Hey, Joe.

How you doing?

We've been friends for a while, right?

Yeah, of course we have.

Well, I gotta tell you this. This Lee chick, she's not who she says she is.

She's Samantha Lee from the Sydney Games.

The gold medalist.

Well, that's good. She's the best. Well, I got a call from Carl.

Come and find out she's working for the German team.

She's here to slow you down.

I can't believe she would do that.

You know, Joe, all this zen crap, spiritual masseuse, it's leading you

I don't believe it.

Hey, you know, it's cool.

You don't need a trainer anyway.

Why don't you just go see Jane?

She always sets you straight, huh?

She doesn't put you back on track.

After tonight, he's right back in line, Chief.

Let's send out another press release tomorrow.

I got a better story for you.

Joey Fitz gets audit of sponsorship money, fires manager.

Joey, um, did you like my gift earlier?

Forget it, Jane. It's over.

You need me, Joe. I keep you relaxed.

I'll let my masseuse handle that for now.

You can't win. You'll never win.

I know a thing or two about winning.
