Here it comes. I'm striking them out
this time. Here it comes. Give it to me.

Ooh, swing and a miss.

What do they do in Utah?

Same stuff they do here, except much
slower.

Hey, good luck trying to find a kosher
hot dog in that state.

Yeah.

Come on, give it to me. Here it comes.

Here it comes. Here it comes.

Oh, nice hit. Oh, nice hit. Get out of
here.

Bet the only jazz they have is the
basketball team.

Come on, switch it up.

All right.

That sounds bleak.

I'm happy it's you and not me going to
Utah.

Thanks.

All right, come on. Ready for this?
Yeah.

Okay, here we go.

All right, give me a target. Come on.

They got a music program at this school?

Get this.

Their band plays at football games.

Whoa, hold me back.

Hey, who wants an egg cream? I'm buying.

Oh, you know I'm in.

I don't know what happened.

You know, I was going along perfectly
happy. My dad gets one phone call.

My life turns into an after -school
special. $38, kid.

Bummer. You can say that again.

Bummer. Bummer.

Bummer. Bummer. Bummer.

Bummer.

We're going down.

Hey. Good morning.

Would you mind putting that on the front
porch? I'm not sure where I want it

yet. Yes, ma 'am.

Can you take the drum set upstairs? You
know, the bass drum?

Yes, ma 'am.

There it is. Home sweet home.

What do you think?

Ah, wow.

That's nice. That's much better.

So what are we talking about here? A six
-story castle?

My own private club on the roof? Close.

Video arcade in the dining room?

Mermaids frolicking in the pool?

Oh.

Carl Malone.

Shooting hoops with you?

Uh, he's not here anymore, Dad.

Or maybe not.

But I did make sure they put your room
up first. Want to play some ball?

You're on.

Hey, Jay, you all right?

Yeah, thanks, Dad. I'm fine.

How you doing?

What's up?

You moving in?

That's the rumor.

Name's Jace.

Vince.

What are you doing?

I was testing.

You're, uh... You can call me Daredevil.

How'd you know my hand was there?

Facial vision.

It has to do with vibrations in the air.

I can tell who people are when they
move.

Like bat radar, huh?

Just one of my many superpowers.

Want to shoot some moves?

No, um... I was, uh... I'm not that much
into sports.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

Whatever.

Are you sure you don't want me to take
you in and get you settled?

What am I, in kindergarten?

I'll be fine.

I love you, Mom.

Me too, sweetie.

Let me get the door for you.

Thanks.

Do you need any help?

No, I'm off that.

Hey,

man, are you blind or something?

Oops,

my bad.

Hey, everybody.

Check it out, a talking side of beef.

What's your name, farm boy?

Ooh, that's one for John, one for the
blind kid. Well, I'd punch his lights

but it looks like somebody already did.
You didn't know that one.

I haven't heard that one since, like,
the second grade.

Come on, John boy.

Park your cow and take a shot.

Come on, let it go.

Oh!

Where are you going?

I gotta go look after the cows.

Ah, funny guy.

Do you always make friends with Easley?

How big was that guy, anyway?

Well, not terribly big.

He's just the captain of the football
team.

Oops. And the captain of the wrestling
team. Major oops.

You know, if you'd agreed to walk with
me, we could have avoided this whole

thing. Maybe I just like doing things
the hard way.

Please, all guys do.

I know. I see your brothers.

So are you Jace in Newfield?

Jace. How'd you guess?

I'm Mary Beth Rice.

I'm going to be one of your readers.

Why?

Because it looks good on your college
application?

No, I'm totally doing it for the cash.

Catch you later.

Is this Mr. Cayman's Spanish 2?

Yes, unfortunately.

Let me show you the seat.

Thank you.

I guess that makes two of us stuck here
in Never Never Land.

So where are you from, dude?

Only the greatest place in the universe.

New York City!

Thank you very much.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Obviously.

Okay.

New Kids Comedy, Crashes and Birds.

Howdy, partner.

Oh, boy.

Chase?

Horn boy.

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Ho, ho! Hey!

Hey! Who's playing the drums?

That's me, Mr. Wyatt.

Jace Newfield.

Jace Newfield.

Mr.

Newfield. My man.

Man, that is interesting, Mr. Newfield.

I had no idea that Bach had written the
drum solo.

Class, did you?

I didn't know that. But then again, I
don't have your vast musical knowledge.

I was just, you know, a little... No, I
know. You weren't trying to show off.

You were trying to improve Johann
Sebastian Bach. You know what's amazing

are the first person to be that
brilliant in over 300 years.

Ladies and gentlemen, a big round of
applause for Mr. Jace Newfield.

Look, Mr. Wyatt, it's not that big a
deal.

Mr. Newfield, please, do not come into
my class and assume that you are better

than anybody else.

I'm not assuming anything.

Good.

Because if you want special treatment,
then you go to a special school.

In my class, everyone is regarded as an
equal.

Cool?

Sorry, all right? Forget it.

You wouldn't understand.

My guess is I'd understand better than
anybody.

Okay. In case nobody told you, he's just
like you.

Whoa. Talk about the blind leading the
blind.

See what you did there? That's funny.
That was a joke. You're a clown.

If you want to juggle and sword swallow,
that's next door. If you want to make

music and be part of the ensemble,
that's right here.

Are we clear?

Are we clear?

Crystal.

Good.

All right.

Bach, the right way.

Hey!

Hey, Jake.

Awesome playing in there, man. Hey,
Vince.

How's it going?

Man, you are a superhero. One meeting
and you already recognize my voice? You

know what they say. Once you lose one
sense, the others kind of kick in to

up the slack.

You're in the band, too, huh?

Who do you think backed you on the
piano?

Hey, wait, wait. Hey, hold on.

Nice.

So, who's that Wyatt guy?

Well, he's... Hey, good night, Mr.
Wyatt.

Hey, Mr. Shoe.

Mr. Newfield.

Good evening, Mr. Wyatt.

He's cool. He just doesn't like
surprises.

Great. So much for music being my way in
around here.

It never ends.

Out of my way, Fly.

Sorry for living, Nolan.

You should be. Come on, John. Hey, John
boy.

Shaking already?

You're going to get hurt, kid.

Don't push it, Newfield.

Okay. You really shouldn't mess with
those guys.

You're messing with me.

So, Fly, huh?

What do you do with that?

Well, that's what everybody calls me.

You're not exactly a big dude, are you?
I will be. I'm just behind five to ten

years. So you walking home?

No, my mom's driving me. She's afraid I
might end up in Colorado.

And you're supposed to be blind?

Last year, my band played the Christmas
show at Rockefeller Center.

It was awesome.

Kids were dancing and screaming. One
girl even wanted my autograph, no lie.

Not here, man.

Band guys are like sea monkeys, the
lowest form of life.

At football games, it's a good night if
no one throws empty cups at our heads.

Fly.

Ball.

Uh, a bounce pass next time.

Yeah, sorry about that.

I forgot you're a blind guy.

What does a guy have to do in this joint
to be accepted?

Basically, be a jock.

Great.

Everyone thinks Letterman Jack is king
of the world or something.

It's not going to help me much.

What are you talking about?

You're ten times the best football
player I am and you can't even see what

you're doing.

I shouldn't have said that.

I've heard worse.

Think fast.

I'm confused.

I thought I was the blind guy.

Ha, ha, very funny.

Chuckle.

Go on.

All right, gentlemen, we're going to
work on the weave.

We'll need three groups at half court.
Whose birthday is January to April?

Mine. Left side.

May to August.

Over here. You're in the middle.
Everybody else on the right.

Chase.

Phil Rice.

Welcome to Homestead.

Thank you.

You might want to use this time to go do
some homework or something.

All right, now I can do this.

A's play basketball all the time at
home.

Not to be rude, but how?

With a bounce pass only rule.

Let me get a beeping backboard so I can
tell where the hoop is.

Well, I'm certainly going to look into
getting one of those, but for today,

you'll have to sit out.

The bleachers are over here.

Beep, beep.

Thank you.

Here we go, fellas. Good, crisp passes.

Yeah, rumor.

20, 30, 40. No, no, no.

En espanol, por favor.

Claro.

30, 40, y 50.

Yeah, okay, that's right. That's there
in the old ballpark. Okay. Who wants to

try 60, 70, and 80?

John.

Seisenta.

Penta y Santa Maria.

That's cute.

Yeah, Jason.

Sesenta, setenta y ochenta.

Now that's what I'm talking about.
Sesenta, setenta, ochenta. Muy bien.

Sesenta, setenta y ochenta.

Yeah, what was that?

Remember to email Pete about that genius
girl in math who thought an egg cream?

I mean,

hello? Get out much?

Talk about living on planet Hillbilly.

Is there a problem, Jace?

Somebody took my tape recorder.

Will whoever has Jace's recorder return
it to him, please?

Okay, that is the fire bell. Now, let's
take this seriously. We don't know if

it's a drill or the real thing, so
please evacuate as quickly and as calmly

possible.

Attention, students and faculty.

This is a firing room.

All students and faculty must evacuate
the premises at once.

Hello, hello.

You're early.

All right. Let the learning begin.

Let's go.

Let's go. Good afternoon. Good
afternoon.

Give me something.

Give me something.

Give me something. Come on. Get up.

Yeah.

Good. We only have a few minutes.

In the early days of colonization, many
Europeans considered the Native

Americans to be acutely naive and quite
uncivilized. In their remarkably narrow

view, they equated those differences
with inferiority.

Welcome to my world.

What's that supposed to mean?

Oh, yeah. Look, you haven't noticed.

People here have no idea how to deal
with me.

Do you know how many times somebody
starts talking really loud in my face?

Hello, I'm blind, not deaf.

You don't know the truth.

People don't care that you're blind.

They're tuned up because they think
you're a total snob.

What are you talking about?

All your New Yorkers rule stuff.

The Hicksville jokes, don't you think it
gets really annoying?

Oh, I'm sorry, but I never wanted to be
here in the first place. Well, you are

here, aren't you?

So you might as well quit blaming us and
lose the attitude.

Mr. Newfield, plan on joining us?

Why aren't you out there playing for the
home team?

Oh, I was going to, but my seeing eye
dog kept pawing everyone's helmet off.

You're a funny guy.

I don't see you laughing.

Oh, wait.

You're the one who's supposed to be
making the lame blind jokes.

You know, I would love a real chance to
take that guy down.

I really would.

Maybe you should go out for tea.

Please don't make an argument.

Oh, yeah, that's good. Look out!

I was thinking wrestling.

I'm sorry. I think she said wrestling.

Can he do that?

Please, don't encourage her.

Why not?

You could go out for a wrestling team.
My dad's a coach.

He and I went to the regionals last year
and saw this blind kid from Denver who

won his weight division.

You two looking at me?

Sorry, Beth.

Okay, I'll do it.

Okay, stop laughing.

Stop laughing.

Hello?

How did I get roped into this?

Come on, fly.

It'll be good for you.

Wrestling is the one sport where the
little dudes are just as valuable as the

big monsters.

Yeah, but the little dudes get eaten by
the big monsters.

Hey, Coach.

Hiya, Jace.

Who's your friend?

Vince Shue. You can call me Fly.
Everyone does.

Oh, good to meet you.

Word is you guys want to join the team.

Well, not exactly.

We were... Absolutely, sir. We are very
keen.

Keen? Huh.

Well, have you ever wrestled?

A little with my dad.

Well, it started from scratch, and we
take an incredible amount of hard work.

Great. I love hard work.

Fly?

Yeah, what he said.

Jase, do you mind me asking why you even
think you'd want to try this?

Just looking for a way to compete around
here, coach.

All right.

These are some tapes from my matches
last year.

I want you guys to watch them and...
Fly, why don't you describe the moves to

Jase? A major action, and you guys come
back and see me next week. If you're

still interested, we'll work something
out.

Questions?

Approximately, what are the odds of me
getting smushed?

Thanks,

Coach.

Bye.

Oh, funny guy.

See you next week.

I don't understand.

Wrestling just seems so gross, so
sweaty.

Mom, everybody does some sport around
here.

Why fight it?

Since when do you do things just because
everybody else is doing it? That's

never been who you are.

It's like I told you.

Except for when I'm with Fly, I'm either
the blind guy or I'm invisible.

Tom, don't just sit there. Help me.

I think you should do it.

Haven't we always told him he could do
it? Every puts his mind to, right?

So why should this wrestling be any
different?

Because it sounds dangerous.

Mom, my whole life is dangerous.

Just walking out the front door is
dangerous.

Doesn't mean I should sit in my room and
hide.

First off, promise me you didn't forge
your mom's signature on this waiver.

If it's signed neatly on the line, you
can pretty much guarantee it wasn't me.

All right.

143.

That could work for us. Right now it's
Luke Rowan's spot, but we've got nobody

in backup.

Mr. Shoe.

103.

That weight class is open.

All right, here's the deal.

Anybody's welcome to work out with us,
but if you commit, I expect you to show

up regularly.

Now, if you want to earn the right to
compete in a league meet, you have to

your weight class in a wrestle -off,
which I hold every two to three weeks.

Any questions?

Got it.

If you guys really want to try this, be
at the gym after school Monday.

See what you got.

Thanks, Coach.

Yes.

No.

Fly? No.

Come on, fly.

into the mat.

Freshman, that's on my right.

Sorry, coach.

Sorry.

Okay, shot drill on my whistle.

Luke, 45 bucks says the gimp and the
wimp don't last two weeks.

You're on.

Chest over knees.

Watch yourself there, Jason.

Keep good head position. Fly.

Bottom man, sit out. Top man, chop.

Bottom, sit.

Top, chop.

Tuck your elbow. Hip height.

Top man, bottom, hips.

Dude,

what was that?

Oh, man.

You okay?

No, you had money in my nose. You
probably broke it.

Take it easy. Settle down.

Hey, good call, coach. Bring in some guy
in here who can't even see what he's

doing. Thanks a lot. That's enough,
Mike. Just get some ice.

Don't worry about it, Jace. Accidents
happen.

Especially when you hire the
handicapped.

Let's get back to the drill.

Concentrate on your technique.

Referee's position, Jace.

When you sit out, don't extend your head
back. It throws your balance off.

Okay? Okay. Ready?

Go!

Good.

First fly, pressure first.

Watch your hip angle, Tim.

What's your favorite nursery rhyme,
Three Blind Mines?

You just do this big third -eye flying
fan, are you? Or is it Blind Melon?

Critic freak, get off of me!

Hey, enough!

Luke, knock it off!

If you've got aggression to work out,
get a punching bag.

This is wrestling, not street brawling.
And whether you are provoked or not, I'm

not going to have one of my guys get
hurt just because you can't control your

temper. The guy was trying to... What?
He was what?

Luke.

Look, wrestling is not just about brute
strength.

It's about intelligence, Chase.

Now, you've got a good brain.

So why don't you start using it?

Okay?

Are we done?

So, how's wrestling going?

It's not like I'm in any danger into
making it into an actual meet. I'm

basically there to be Luke Nolan's
tackling dummy.

Seth. Thank you.

Our first scrimmage is on Monday.

They've lost such cowboys, I know.

The what's -its what's -its?

Cowboys. Ha, cowboys. How perfect is
that?

Does their gym have a hitching post out
front?

What, do the uniforms come with 10
-gallon hats? Hey, careful. That is

an awful lot like the sarcastic days
that you promised to stifle.

Sorry. I just don't know why everyone's
acting like it's such a big deal.

Ancient rivalry.

Plus, their star T -Rex Turner has been
Lambert's archenemy since forever.

I mean, he is the defending state champ.

The only one that John has ever beaten.

My palms are sweaty already.

You

going

down, my man?

Yeah, all over you for the pin.

Hey. What was that about?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Hmm.

I changed my mind. You're going to sit
this one out today.

What? Why?

Because I'm not having you dive into
some personal grudge match and maybe get

hurt before the season even starts.

I'm not going to get hurt. I'm going to
kick his butt. John, listen to me.

You're a senior. This is your last
chance at a state title.

Now you're on the bench.

You're putting Luke in your spot and
that's the end of it.

Now go sit down and set an example for
the younger guys.

Deep breath, Luke. Deep breath.

Ah!

Try to lay still.

Try to lay still.

It took the dude away in an ambulance,
Jace.

An ambulance!

Oh, come on. That kind of stuff happens
in every sport. Which is an excellent

reason to avoid athletics altogether.

My dad says it's broken collarbone.

Looks like it's been there for at least
two months.

You know what this means, Jace? It's
giving the 145 squad to you.

Why would he do that?

Because he says you've worked harder
than anybody. You've earned it.

Besides, you're the only one he's got
who fits the weight class.

First match is tomorrow.

Hey, Jace, if your first official match
is Thursday, your dad and I can both be

there. The last class ends at 1.

Mom, you're not listening.

I don't want you there.

Why not?

I'll be nervous enough. Having you and
Dad there will only... I just want all

focus to be on the match, okay? It's
nothing personal.

Well, it feels personal.

I promise.

I'll let you guys come later in the
season. As soon as I figure out what I'm

doing.

Okay.

As long as I'm still alive.

The freak is still here.

And on a loop, 25 bucks.

How much does that stink?

Everybody thinks it's so great he's on
the team.

Do they even care how it affects the
rest of us? It doesn't matter.

Everybody's too busy being politically
correct.

Hey, Boomer.

You showed up out there.

Keep your head up.

Chase, you're on deck. Make sure you're
loose.

Thanks, Coach.

Hey, Chase.

Good luck out there, man.

Good luck, man.

Thanks, Boomer. For sure.

When you disrespect a teammate, you
disrespect yourself.

It's just a joke, Coach. No, John, jokes
are funny.

I won't have a bully on my team.

Motown, late 70s, early 80s.

Maybe Funk Brothers on backup.

Ah, nice here, Mr. Newfield. Nice here.

Detroit, 1985.

Not the Funk Brothers, but definitely
inspired by.

Something tells me that you did not seek
me out simply to discuss 32 Bar Blues.

Well, you know, I realize we haven't...

Kind of along that great, and I've been
having a rough time, and it seemed like

you were the only one that could relate.

Is this about music?

Wrestling.

I heard a rumor that you joined the
squad.

I'm getting hammered.

Besides, a bunch of the guys really
resent me for being there. Why'd you

in the first place?

I wanted to be part of one thing, and my
disability was totally irrelevant.

And your music doesn't give you that.

Yeah. If I'm going to be a walking
cliche, me, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles,

Feliciano, me.

Sorry. No, don't apologize, man.

I'm happy with who I am.

Are you?

Doesn't it ever tick you off that when
people look at you, the only thing they

see is a blind guy?

What?

I'm blind?

How am I going to get home?

Man, of course. I'm a blind guy. So are
you. So what?

Thanks for your advice.

Well, what do you want me to say to you,
huh?

Wait, stay the course. It gets easier.
Well, guess what, man? It doesn't.

People are going to treat you
differently always because you are

Tell me something I don't know.

Okay. Okay, well.

You have been walking around here with a
chip on your shoulder a mile high.

You might as well have this little
blinking light right on your shoulder

says, look at me, pity me, Paul
misunderstood me.

Look, why don't you play your song
another way?

People listen to the music you make.

Play it so that they can see you as you
really are.

Wait up, I gotta grab my jacket.

Hey, Newfield, did anybody tell you
practice ended a half an hour ago?

Yeah, maybe for you guys that have been
winning.

Hold on, let me grab that for you.

No thanks, John.

I got it.

You know, even if I don't score us one
point this season,

I don't want anyone to be able to say I
didn't work my butt off.

Hey, Mary Beth.

Hey, John.

Weren't we supposed to be reading?

Sorry.

Just... I gotta do something to turn
this wrestling thing around.

I know you're not asking for my advice,
but can I give it anyway?

Shoot.

After listening to my dad and my
brothers for a million years, it seems

that maybe the reason why you haven't
won a match yet is because your balance

off. I mean, wrestling, it's like
dancing.

Every move should flow from your body's
center.

You learn that natural rhythm and you'll
be fine.

Great. How do I do that?

Well... First off, you can hire me to be
your dance coach.

Good morning, Mrs. Newfield.

Hello, Mary Beth.

Nice dog.

And this is supposed to help me wrestle?

Yes, but first we need some music.

All right, no problem. I get it.

Trying to help.

And let's dance.

Okay? Put your hands on my waist.

I promise I've had all my shots.

So have I.

This isn't ballroom dancing. It's
wrestling.

Okay? Contact position.

Okay. We're going to move right and
left. Just go with the flow. Okay?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight. Now back. One, two,

three, four. Forward. One, two.

Three.

One, two, three, four. That's one, two,
three, four.

One, two, three, four.

And a spin. Okay, this is not working.
There's no spinning in wrestling.

I know, I just thought it was pretty
funny.

Okay. Okay.

This is Jesse, the one for dogs. He's
going to be a wrestling partner.

Every move should flow into the next,
okay?

Your opponent acts, you react.

Center, show me referee position.

Okay, in a reversal, step one is to
bring your right knee up.

Step two, bring your left knee through.

Step three, lean on your left elbow.

Step four, you grab the outside leg and
the inside arm and you flip.

So, how does that feel?

It's like a third ball.

I remember when my youngest brother Tim
told Dad that he was going to play golf

instead of wrestle.

My poor father felt so betrayed.

Both your other brothers are wrestlers?

Big time.

Billy was a state champ his junior and
senior year.

Man, how does your mom handle all that
testosterone?

Are you kidding?

She's even more into it than my dad.

I mean, there could be 10 ,000 people at
a meet and you could hear her screaming

over everybody.

That is until I start screaming and then
we're like dueling maniacs yelling and

carrying on until everybody else clears
out around us.

What?

This is the first conversation we've
ever had that hasn't ended up being all

about me.

So?

So? Why am I such a selfish jerk?

Selfish jerk? That's a little harsh.

No, seriously, Mary Beth.

Why would you ever want to hang out with
me?

Because you don't care that I look like
a hideous mutant she -boost.

That's not true.

How would you know?

I guess somebody like you would have to
have a face that matches her heart.

Hey, let's not get too excited.

I'm only flattering you so you keep
showing up to cheer me on.

Go, Jace! Go, Jace!

I'm just with you today.

All you got to do is feel the flow.

Great fat man's ball.

Timing's good today.

Thanks, Coach.

So in wrestling, you have a team score
and a match score, okay? Each match has

three two -minute periods, and you can
score points by using a reversal or an

escape or a pin, which ends the match.
Escape?

Yes! Got it.

Here, I brought you some books. Why
don't you read up on them? Oh, homework.

Great, thanks.

Your right knee.

Two, your left knee swings through.

Three, drop to your left elbow. Four,
turn on a 90 degree angle.

Five, your outside leg and inside arm.

I'm interested in doing a story on the
Sunday sports section. You got a minute?

I like it. Well, my folks are kind of
waiting for me upstairs, and we can

certainly schedule for another time.

Thanks. You know, I'm really flattered
and everything, but there's a bunch of

guys on the team doing much better than
I am. Why would you want to interview

them? Humble, too. That's good, that's
good. Yeah, they're great, but listen,

with you it's different.

With you there's more of a freaks and
geeks angle.

That's not it at all. It's a wonderful
human interest story.

Mr. Brevone, can we make a deal?

How about waiting until I win a few more
matches? You know, really doing

something for the team.

Then we'll talk, okay?

Fair enough.

Good job, kid.

Thanks.

Study the vocabulary words on page 79 of
your workbooks. Please expect a quiz.

Yeah, what are you worried about?
Boomer, you're doing fine.

Mike, did you get one? Mr. Lambricks, I
need to talk to you for just a minute.

Um, it's a bit of a problem, John.

If you're not able to manage at least a
B on the upcoming midterm, you're going

to have a D in this class.

That means you lose your athletic
eligibility.

But, Mr. Cammons, you can't do that to
me. We're right in the middle of the

season. I'm not doing anything to you,
John. Those are the rules, okay? It just

means you have to work a little harder
over the next few weeks.

Well, I can't.

I don't get this stuff.

It's like... It's like a foreign
language to you?

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, maybe you should just find
somebody to tutor you.

Buena suerte.

¿Qué puedo ayudar?

Huh?

What'd you just say?

Relax.

It means I can help you in Spanish.

Oh.

You'd do that?

After the hard time we've been giving
you?

Yeah, well, maybe I realize I haven't
been the easiest guy to be around.

Okay.

Thanks.

You help me with my Spanish.

I'll help you amp up your weight
training.

Deal?

Deal.

Oh,

good job.

Very good.

What did I do?

Nothing. I'm saying tell me very good in
Spanish.

Muy bueno.

Excellent.

Excelente.

I'm saying excellent because you knew
very good.

What?

Agua.

Huh?

I need water.

Thank you.

Okay, how do you say handshake in
Spanish?

Oh, it's... It's manos.

Manos.

What the heck is it?

I think to operate.

You know, the surgeon shakes your hand
before he operates on you.

Yeah.

That's tight. Who is it?

It's me.

For real?

Yeah, it's a fight song.

I'm still working on it. You should keep
working on it. It's good.

All right, grab your gear. Let me show
you something.

Okay.

You ready?

All right, listen. All right. Okay.
Ready?

All right. Go into your little over
-under.

Okay.

What was that? All right. Now, that was
my bread -and -butter move, my friend. I

mean, you learn that, and you're golden.
All right? Here. One more time, huh?

Okay. Ready? All right.

Very, very nice.

You like some company?

You think he can keep up?

Did you? Did he just say that to you?
Yeah, he did.

Go ahead. Come on. Wrestle boy.

Go ahead.

That's it?

Don't get dirty. Come on.

That was cool.

Told you you could be a team player.

Just took your advice.

What was that?

And please, don't scare me by telling me
that you actually listened to something

that I said.

I got rid of that chip on my shoulder
the size of Brooklyn.

Yeah, good for you, man.

Kind of hard to wrestle when you got a
weight like that on you, right?

Thank you.

So, want to go again?

You kidding? I'm just getting started.

All right.

One, two, three.

Thank you so much!

Woo!

Fly!

Hey, Fly!

Wait up, man.

Hey, guys.

What'd you run off to so quickly?

We're going to have victory burgers.

You're coming, right?

No, I've got to help my cousin with the
mess.

What cousin?

You don't know her, all right?

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

See you, man.

I'm fine.

Doc says I'm healed 100%. It's only been
five weeks, Luke.

All right, let's give it a little bit
more time. You start working out with us

again, but take it slow. Coach, I don't
want to take it slow. I'm ready now.

Let's think about your future, okay?

You're going to be much more valuable to
me next year as a senior.

What's the point of risking permanent
damage... Coach!

We're going to take a few more weeks,
okay?

Go, James!

Let's go, Newfield.

All right, guys.

What's your problem? What's my problem?
You wrecked my life. That's my problem.

What are you talking about?

You took my slot, Newfield. Now Coach
doesn't want to give it back.

Hey, I earned that spot after you got
hurt, Nolan.

Now Coach is happy with what I'm doing.

So deal with it.

What was that all about?

Jerk actually thinks he's on the team
because he's good, not because he's

Coach's charity case.

Well, he has been winning lately.

Jerk going to defend him now?

I don't need to defend him. He can
defend himself.

Coach Rice?

Coach? Over here, Jace.

What's up?

I want to wrestle off.

Me and Luke.

Winner owns the 145 slot.

I've already told Luke that he's not
ready to come back yet.

Yeah, well, he thinks he is.

He also thinks that the only reason
you're not giving him a chance is

you like keeping me around here for the
freak factor.

All right, you listen to me. You listen
good. I've been coaching for 15 years,

and I have never once... made a call
that was not in the best interest of my

team.

You want to think of yourself as some
kind of freak, you go right ahead.

What I see is a kid who's worked his
tail off and earned his slot.

Now get your gear on, Jace.

It kicks me off that you guys are so
quick to question my father's judgment,

you never stop to think how hard it all
gets for him.

I mean, no matter what, someone always
is crying and complaining how they're

getting ripped off.

You're like a stupid bunch of spoiled
babies.

Okay.

I screwed up.

So you want me to go and apologize?

I don't care. Do what you want.

Where did that come from?

You said, do what you want.

But hey, if it freaks you out, then we
can just pretend like nothing ever

happened. James?

Yeah? Shut up.

Good idea.

Why?

Yeah, I know you're there. Talk to me,
man.

If you really want to avoid me, you
gotta quit wearing that stanky

Man, you and your supersonic senses.

Are you?

Please tell me what's going on.

I'm sick of being a loser, okay?

So you're ticked at me for winning?

Yeah. At least when you suckered me into
this, we were both equally pathetic.

But now, I can't even quit. Everybody
will really think I'm a wimp.

Yeah,

come on, man. The party's already
started.

All right, I'll be right there.

Hey, can we talk about this later?

I gotta... Sure.

We want to keep your superstars waiting.

Why? Look, I get it, Jace.

You don't owe me anything.

Talk to you later, man.

Didn't you have a party to go to?

I told him to hit it without me.

Why?

Care to dance?

Excuse me?

Why? You gotta trust me on this one.
It'll work for me, it's gonna work for

Alright, here we go, buddy.

Okay, you ready? Keep your knees bent,
bounce.

Okay. Yes. Down. Alright.

Down. Okay.

Down. Alright.

Back. Okay.

And then hip toss.

Ah, two.

Hip toss.

Hip toss.

You got it? You feeling the flow?

No, man. Actually, no offense, but I'd
rather be dancing with Mary Beth.

Come on, one more time.

No, no, no. You know, you taught me one.
Now I'm going to teach you one, all

right? So watch this.

Fly.

Oh, oh, oh.

Fly. Oh, oh, oh.

Fly.

I'm the blind guy.

Oh. Yeah.

Good one, though.

Yeah. Well, I'm going to have to teach
you that one. Yeah, yeah. One more time.

By the way, in real life, teeth don't
fit. Oh!

Ah!

Ah.

Looking good, Newfield. Looking good.

Nice fit.

Looking good.

How's your spitting fly?

I look like the team mascot.

What?

This thing's humongous.

Why don't you take it back and get a
small?

This is a small.

Nice jacket, fly.

What'd you do, steal it from somebody's
older brother?

It's mine, Yardley.

Come on.

Take it down. Come on.

Take it down. Two points.

Come on, take it. What did you do, fly?

Get on your neck.

Fly away.

Hey, old Yardley.

Yeah, man, you should have seen it.

I don't get it, Coach.

The scale doesn't lie.

All I know is this. If you want to face
T -Rex, you need to lose six by Friday.

Mama, tell me.

From thenceforward, he doubled the pains
he had been at to instruct me. He

brought me into all company and made
them treat me with civility.

Because as he told them privately, this
would put me into good humor and make me

more diverting.

Hey, are you even listening?

Huh? Where's your head at, kid?

Oh, Friday's our last wrestling meet.

And? And I'm amazed at how soon it's
going to be over.

Well, unless you make it into the
States.

Which we won't unless Lambrick beats T
-Rex.

Which he won't even get a shot at unless
he loses six pounds in two days.

Pressure's on, huh?

Remind me why I wanted to do this.

Ah, that was... That was really, uh...
That was bad.

That was really bad. No, I'm just
kidding. It's okay. We can fix it. Do

to learn to play something?

For real?

We can't be hurrying about the flute.

Oh, the flute.

Okay. Do the bass drum. Go.

Hey, we're making a pretty good team.

You don't want to do that.

I don't?

Well, who do you want bugged anymore?

My dad or your coach?

Aren't they the same guy?

Exactly.

Good night.

Hey, coach.

Hi, Jace.

Buenos dias.

Sijos mios.

Got about a minute.

Hola. Hey, Newfield.

Did you read today's paper?

Oh, my bad. You can't. Let's have a
little bump. So here, let me read it for

you.

Speaking of his visually impaired spark
plug, Jace Newfield, Coach Rice said,

the great thing about Jace is whether
we're winning or losing, I know he's a

real inspiration to every kid who sees
him out there.

That's funny.

He tells us he's only doing what's best
for the team, but he tells the paper

that he's keeping you around to be his
poster boy.

If you don't put me into a wrestle -off
with Luke Nolan, I am quitting.

And that's the end of it.

Is that a threat?

No.

Look, what's the point of holding on to
my position if I can't prove once and

for all I am the best guy for that slot?

All right, let's get this going.

Contact position.

Hope you had a long lasting.

Hope you like watching the sectionals
from the stands.

Ready? Well, take him, Jace.

Russell!

That's a fit.

I taught him that.

Shake hands, guys.

Paid. Popped out.

Yeah, I mean, you could just pop it back
in, right?

I can, but it's going to kill.

If any worse than it already is.

All right, trust me.

Trent, relax. Let me have the weight.
Let me have the arm.

Let me have the arm.

Hey, Mary Beth.

Nice.

Nice and good.

All right, let's go.

150 and a quarter pounds you did, Coach.
Yes!

All right, fellas, you worked hard for
this. You deserve it.

Now let's go out there and get it, huh?

Go,

go, go!

Come on, get out there.

Whoa.

John, are you okay?

I'm fine.

You don't sound fine.

Hey, look, maybe you shouldn't do this
today. Maybe you're too wiped out.

You don't get it, do you?

This isn't just a sport for me.

It's who I am.

It's all I've got.

Unlike you, I don't do music.

I stink in school.

I mean, you take away wrestling.

I don't even know who I am.

I mean, how sad is that?

The team score now is 18 -12 for the
Huskies.

All right, John, we studied the film.
You know he's susceptible to fireman's

carry. I want you to set it up the way
we talked about. Oh, yeah, this guy,

Coach, don't worry about it. John, you
need to focus, all right?

Work the game plan. This is what you
train for. Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the match
we've all been waiting for.

Two undefeated champions and longtime
rivals in the 152 -pound match.

It's Homestead's John Lambrick versus
our very own Wasatch Valley Cowboy, T.

Turner. All right, here we go.

Let's take that like gentlemen. Let's
take that like gentlemen.

All right, John.

Let's go.

Find a good position.

Lamberts looks tired. Doesn't have his
usual energy.

That's the pin. The score tied.

The Huskies 18. The Cowboys 18.

You tied me now.

The rest is up to you.

Good luck.

Here we are in the last match of the
day. We've got a few seconds left in the

third period.

They're small, but they're strong.

Very wiry. And Shue picks up his
opponent.

Looks like the match is over on the
clock.

We'll wait to see what the referee says.

Here they come.

It's a win.

A surprise win for Vincent the Fly Shoe.

Oh, a big disappointment for the Cowboy
fans.

But they'll be looking forward to next
week when they'll meet again in the

regionals.

As you can see, you're starting to reap
the rewards.

I think this Husky team has what it
takes not only to go to state, but to

home the hardware.

To give us the best possible chance in
the sectionals Friday, I'm going to put

in a few changes.

John, I appreciate the sacrifice you
made for the team, trying to get down to

and stay there, but it's obviously not
working.

You're going back to 160, okay?

What? No.

Coach, you do that, I don't get my
rematch with T -Rex. You were half dead

there. You're lucky you didn't get hurt.

So what? I'll sleep more. I'll power
down protein drinks and vitamins.

No, I've made my decision.

Dieting like that is dangerous for a guy
of your frame. You're going back to

160, okay?

No, it's not okay.

Okay, guys, that's not going to be a
distraction. I'll handle that later.

We have four days left.

Okay, I want everybody to focus in.
Think about all the things you've worked

all year. Think about your technique.

I want you to think about what you've
sacrificed to be here at this point with

the chance to accomplish something.

One last thing. Luke, you're back in at
145.

Jace, you're going up to 152.

You're going to take on T -Rex.

Motion drill on your feet.

Wait a second.

Did he just say I'm going up against T
-Rex?

Good night, Tonya, buddy.

Something we need to talk about?

T -Rex is going to snap me like a twig.

I could always forfeit.

Yeah, right.

And then never show my face at school
again.

On the other hand, you know, if you
truly feel like you're not up to it,

mom's right. You don't have to do it.

I mean, we're not going to think any
less of you, that's for sure.

Look.

Not to take the easy way out, but just
listen to your heart

Mr. Wyatt?

That's me.

Why aren't you at lunch?

I wasn't hungry.

Well, you gotta pardon me for eating,
because I am starving like Marvin.

Hey, that was really nice, though.

Play that, uh... Thanks.

You know what I hate?

When people talk how brave and
courageous I am for doing things that

people do every day.

Like wrestling?

Yeah. You know, bravery had nothing to
do with it.

And now they all expect me to go out
there and wrestle a guy like T -Rex

How messed up is that?

Well, the coach obviously thinks he can
handle it.

Yeah, but he's not the one going out
there, is he?

You know, I'm sick of almost killing
myself to fit in.

I'm really sick of it.

You're sick of what?

Aren't you the one that joined the
wrestling team?

I was just trying to... You just... No,
no, no. You joined the wrestling team to

be just like everybody else.

Well, I got some news for you, Jace.

Everybody's afraid, man.

Especially people your age.

Trying to figure out who they are and
where they're going and who they're

to be. Man, it is absolutely terrifying.

But see, what you got to do, right, is
you have to treat that fear like one of

your opponents.

You have to wrestle it to the ground and
then you have to get on top of it.

You got me?

Yeah.

Cool.

Bet you made me miss my lunch.

Get ready for class.

Don't tell me you're bailing on us.

It's over, Jace. Let it go.

Maybe I don't want to let it go.

Maybe I've worked my butt off this
entire season because I got the stupid

that this whole thing was about being
part of a team.

What's your point?

You're the one that said wrestling is
all you are, all you have.

If it is what you started, man, what
does it matter if you wrestle T -Rex

or Joe Faceless?

We don't care.

All we care about is you go out there
and you win.

Hey, if anyone should run away, it's me.

I mean, facing T -Rex, it's insanity.

You're going to do this thing?

Because I can pretty much guarantee he's
going to put some serious hurt work on

you.

I know.

But you're going to show up anyway?

I will if you will.

Who am I kidding, huh?

I'm totally addicted to the Glory Rush.

Come on.

Bye.

We're underway with this year's Allstate
Regional Wrestling Tournament. And

tonight's two winners will get that
coveted berth in next weekend's state

championship. And there's a takedown and
six -point lead, an early lead for the

Cowboys.

The Huskies! And now, heating up this
cross -town rivalry and moving up to the

165 -pound weight class for the Huskies,
it's John Lambert and Andrew Krieger

for the Cowboys.

We're jockeying for a position.

Here we go. And Brigger gets his first
takedown with a fire move.

Excellent, Ben. But there's a great
escape and one point there.

One escape, three.

Two, take that, three.

Three. And we've got Ben.

Yes, we've got a Ben on that side.

And the Cowboys.

Vincent Chu takes on the Cowboys' Brent
Geisler in the 103 -pound category.

And here we go.

As Vincent Chu...

match of this roundup. Remember, the
Huskies lead at 34 -29, and anything but

pin will send the Huskies on to stage.

All right, here we go.

Remember what I told you, okay?

T -Rex loves the legs. He's going to go
in for that sweep single, so make sure

you watch it, all right?

Got it.

How you feeling?

Like a dinosaur snack.

Come on, you can do this, all right? Go,
Jay!

Ready to go.

Face.

Like the man said, all you got to do is
keep from getting smushed. Right, Fly?

That's right.

I already know you're not going to get
pinned.

You've worked so hard this year, you
should be proud of yourself.

I can't wait to see what you're going to
go out here and accomplish in front of

all these people.

Go get them.

Okay.

All right, folks, here's another Husky
competitor who's moving up in weight

class. This promises to be the all -star
match. of the evening.

It's the one that everyone's been
waiting for.

Right now it's two -time defending state
champion T -Rex Turner taking on

Homestead's blind sensation Jace
Newfield.

And what a contest this will be.

Finally, it's there.

All

right,

buddy.

He seems to escape once again. Another
body slam. And these have to take their

toll.

Come on, Sam.

Get out of here.

He's looking for his escape.

And another.

Back drop.

He all right?

Remember, there's an injury time limit.
That means that Newfield will have to

answer the referee's call.

Pop out again?

No, it just hurts.

Can you go? Yeah.

All right, 28 seconds left, Chase.
You're in this thing. Now, he knows

hurt there, so he'll probably attack it.
Use it as bait. Leave it open. Set up a

lateral drop. But you can't get pinned.

So if it doesn't work out, get back to
your base. Fat man's role.

You ready to go, son?

Ready, ref?

Everything you got.

Leave it on the mat.

T

-Rex

only has 28 seconds.

to pin this incredibly feisty opponent.

And this is what that Sally team knows.
No pin, no win. So the question is, can

Jace Newfield hold on and clinch the
victory for the Huskies? Ladies and

gentlemen, we're about to find out.

Jace hits his lateral drop. There it is.
A two -point takedown.

T -Rex with a reversal there. A two
-point reversal.

Just work for the Batman.

goes to the Huskies, and they're on to
State.

Good job. Good job, Newfield.

I'll see you at State.

I'll be there.

And that movie of yours?

It won't look good.

from the Mountain Valley Times.

Now do you feel you've earned the right
to have me do a story on you? I guess.

Okay. Listen, I'd like to get a little
background first. If it's okay with you,

talk to some of your teammates.

Sure. Knock yourself out.

Yeah!

John,

Bill Pavone from the Mountain Valley
Times. Yeah. Hey, you've been wrestling

four years. What makes this season so
different? Having a blind teammate.

Wait, who's blind?

Well, this guy right here, Jace
Newfield.

Jace is blind?

Are you serious?

Gosh, I hadn't even noticed.

Hey, Malin. Mike. Malin, did you know
that Jace is blind?

No way. Yeah, that's what this guy's
trying to tell me. Sounds like the dude

better check his facts.

I hang out with the dude all the time,
and it's never occurred to me that he's

like that.

Yeah, I don't know, man.

I might want to go do some more
research.

Oh, look who's here. Hey. The man of the
hour. Hey.

What's up, guys?

Watch your shoulder. You were amazing
tonight, Dave.

Thank you.

Hey, do you guys think you could give us
a minute?

Sure. No problem.

Yeah, we'll be up front.

Thanks. I'll be right back.

I'm so proud of you.

Cool.

Would you, uh, care to dance?

I'd love to.

You know, I hear it's a lot like
wrestling.

All you gotta do is build a wall.

To the mat, we attack and we'll never
let up. You better get up and take them

for the team or we'll get fed up. It's
one for all, the sun will shine for us.

We'll run you over like a bus and we'll
leave you in the dust. To discuss just

how hard we can hit. Surround you like a
monster. You think this is it? It's a

headlock. I'll drive opponents to the
mat like it's bedrock. You can't catch

I move too fast and I proved it last
time we had a meet. It ended in defeat

your team. Fatigue. To the back when we
start to attack.

You retreat to the back when we step to
the mat. You retreat to the back when we

start to attack.

You retreat to the back, now you're
going to the mat. You're going to the

It's a matter of fact.

You're going to the mat.

It's a matter of fact. You're going to
the mat.

It's a matter of fact. You're going to
the mat.

It's a matter of fact.

You're going to the mat.
