All language subtitles for Friday Night Lights (2006) - 1x01 - Pilothjfhj.eng

Good morning, West Texas!

Slammin' Sammy Mead comin'
at you

with Panther Football radio!

470 AM on your dial.

It's Monday morning, and we
all know what that means.

Only four days
till Friday night.

The night
that our Dillon Panthers

bring the hammer down
on the Westerby Mustangs.

Who wants to talk
Panther football, I'm all ears.

Hey, Sammy, this is Susan
from South Bain.

This new coach, uh,
Coach Taylor, right?

Eric Taylor, that's right.

Well, he...he's got himself

a lot of pressure right now,
and there's lots

of expectations on him,
and what the heck

is going on there?

You got a news crew
following him around

every step of the preseason.

Who does he think he is?
Mack Brown?

He's no Mack Brown,
I'll tell you right now.

Well, now, Susan, I don't think
anybody is,

but let me tell you something.

He has stepped into
the number one team in Texas.

That's right.

And he does have a news crew
followin' him.

I agree with you,
that's a lot of added pressure,

but it's lettin' him know
how important this football

is to us here in Texas.

Well, I want to add my voice
to that...

Okay, Grandma, I made you
two tuna fish sandwiches,

and I put your medicine
in the green Gatorade, okay?

Green Gatorade, but I only want
one sandwich.

Well, then just eat one.

But you made two,
and I just want one.

No, no, no, no, I-I'll eat
the other one

when I get home from practice,
okay?

You'll be hungry.

After that good ol' practice.

Yeah.

You...

I adore.

Y'know, I think I'm gonna get me
one of those signs

that say Landry Clarke:
Utterly Useless.

All-State jerk team.

Yeah, I'd probably be
on that team too.

Jason Street has
a 72% pass completion rate.

Not only is that number one
in the state of Texas,

that is number one nationally.

Are you even gonna play
at all?

Nope.

Seriously, this is some kind
of big misdirected

"Daddy, love me" thing,
ain't it?

I can't keep driving you
to this practice

in humiliation, it's not good
for either one of us.

You're an insomniac.

You're up anyway.

I'm doing you a favor.

You should be thanking me.

Now that was mean, Matt.

That wasn't nice.

Gotta get up, little brother.

Probably 49 players right now.
Up and at 'em.

Right now, this minute.

49 players on the move.

Tim, they'll kick you
off the team.

Yup.

You're a brother, don't forget.
Not a mother.

You ain't that good.

Twice the player
you ever was, man.

This is life,
this isn't Maxim magazine.

What's that supposed
to mean?

Waste of time.

Right.

Mmm.

And no going out
with Jason Street this evening.

We're having a family dinner
tonight.

That means the entire family,
dinner together.

Rally rehearsal tonight.

She's gonna be rehearsing
how far she can get

her tongue
into Jason Street's mouth.

Nip it.

I love you, Daddy.

Uh, love you too,
baby.

How you doin', Coach?
Tommy Hayskins, NBC Sports.

Tommy, welcome.

How's it feel to be head coach
after, what, how many years?

Six years, it is.

Got yourself a heck
of a quarterback.

He's a good boy.

Very proud of him.

Now, you two have been at this
together for some time, right?

Yes, sir, he was my coach
all through Pee Wee,

and Coach Taylor's been
QB coaching me

since, uh, freshman
and JV years,

so it's been awhile.

So, Coach, is it a coincidence
you finally get

the head coaching job
the final season

of Jason's high school career?

It is, it's
a very fortunate coincidence.

You gotta feel blessed
to spend your first year

with a young man who's got
the talent

and the moral strength
this young man right here has.

Hut!

We'd like to get you all
on the field

next Saturday
up in South Bend.

There are really no words
to describe the experience.

Sounds terrific.

We're ready to get
this thing done.

I think we are too.

How good is he?

Mrs. Street, I've been scouting
quarterbacks for Notre Dame

for 27 years.

Your son may be the best
I have ever seen.

We expect a lot of him,
and, uh, he produces.

And, uh, we're very proud
of him.

We go in undefeated,
shattering records.

Taking these high expectations
to unimaginable new highs.

State champions.

What's after high school,
Brian?

Me and Mack Brown gonna get
our win on in Pasadena.

Get my national championship on,
get my Heisman on.

It's known that a couple years
ago, your father passed away.

And he's not gonna be able--

No, look, I don't talk
about that, all right?

You wanna ask me
football questions,

I'll answer
your football questions.

Let's shift gears
a minute.

There's been talk of racism
around this squad.

Have you experienced anything
like that?

I don't let that fade me.

I just keep my blinders on,
and keep moving.

I got things to do.

That's not racism, man.

I just don't like him.

He can be from Saudi Arabia,
or Sweden, or Czech.

That dude could be Santa Claus,
and I still won't like him.

Name's Tim Riggins,
I play, uh, fullback.

It's known that you're one
of the more aggressive players.

What do you find appealing
about that?

I just like to hurt people.

Put 'em down.

This is
a very good football team,

and we all know each other
extremely well,

so that's how we play.

Saracen, go take a look
at that trash can

for a yellow play sheet, I think
I accidentally threw it out.

Hut!

Move, move, move,
move, move!

That's the ball, right there,
that we want, Steve.

Tim, I don't mean
to be inappropriate,

but I do smell alcohol
on your breath.

Have you been drinking?

No.

Not at all?

No.

Okay.

Pick it up, pick it up!

You wanna play football today?

What the hell is going on
with you right now?

Are we not clear
that in five days

a group of men are gonna be
coming down here

to try and destroy you?

Is that not--
is that not clear?

32.

Get up, Riggins.

These same men are gonna be
coming down here.

They're gonna use everything
they have to hurt you.

84.

I'm tired of seein' that
out here on this field!

82...
get up, Riggins.

Get up!

You feel
a little extra responsibility?

Yeah, there's a little bit
of extra responsibility.

Of course, that comes
with the territory.

It's to be expected.

You wanna do that,
you take it somewhere else!

How good is this team?

We're a very good team.

Man, this team's
the best team.

They got me.

Get up, Riggins.

They're gonna attempt to do this
in front of your mother,

in front of your fathers,
in front of your brothers,

in front of your sisters.

8.

Come on, son, get up.

You're making us look weak!

I hate that guy.

One person fumbles the ball,
we all fumble the ball!

Hate him.

One person shows up half drunk,
we all show up half drunk!

20.

This is business,
I keep it football.

We ain't got time
for your games, Rig.

Leave all other stuff
at home.

We got a game to win.

Get up, son.

Get up!

This is where pretty much
everybody eats.

Uh, I come here and get
the Aztec burger,

every day, leading up
to a game.

Oh, yeah, is that
an endorsement?

Endorsement, sir?

Well, that could be your first
professional endorsement,

the Aztec burger.

No, he doesn't have
any endorsements.

No, no endorsements.
No way.

I got some endorsements!

What you got?

Nike, Adidas.

Nike and Adidas?
Yeah.

Isn't that a conflict
of interest?

Not the way the Smash does it,
baby.

I got so much skills,
there's room for everybody.

Reebok too--I'ma do Big Macs
and Whoppers.

Coke and Pepsi.

Look, I'ma bring
the whole world together, baby.

Then I'ma bust up
Paris Hilton's marriage.

Is that right?

The Smash gonna be
running hotel chains.

So, you--you wanna go for it?

No, that's
the coach's daughter.

Yeah, I know--I know
it's the coach's daughter,

but...is that some kind
of rule?

I mean, we can't talk
to the coach's daughter?

I wasn't aware of that rule.

Come on, let's go.

* If somehow I knew

* You were looking
For some, oh no *

Yes?

I'm in your English class.

Okay.

So is he.

Yeah.

We were just, ah, wonderin'
if you wanna

maybe have some lunch.

You know,
talk some Moby Dick.

You're on the football team,
right?

I, actually, no,
I don't play.

He's technically, barely,
on the team.

He never plays.

I hold extra points
sometimes.

Yeah, he held two last year,
not--not well,

but he's...he's kinda
the backup extra.

I'm the backup quarterback.

But Street plays,
I-I don't play much.

But you're still
on the team.

Uh-huh.

And I don't eat
with football players.

You know, I'm not--
I'm not a football player.

And I don't eat
with you either.

No problem.

How do you see him handling
all these enormous expectations?

You know, Sports Illustrated
has this as the number one

high school football team
in Texas.

Oh, I know,
that's what I've been saying.

Oh, really?

I don't know, he--he just
handles it really well.

How interesting.

On the field
he's so competitive,

but after, when we're alone,
he's not like that.

That is so interesting,
really.

I'd be hard-pressed to remember
anything in my entire life

that's ever been
so damn interesting.

Whore.

* Skimmin' through my profile

* You caught me
at the most pivotal moments *

* And now I'm emailing my love
wit' a dozen digital roses *

Smash?
Hey.

What's up?

Can I get a bite
of your burger?

Hey, baby, you can get a bite
of anything you want to.

* But I ain't got time
to lose *

Hey.

Hey, babe.

How they lookin'?

They're fast, and they run
a lot of counters.

So I heard a ugly rumor.

Really?

Had to do with you
and me.

And a certain car dealership
opening tomorrow night.

Oh, shoot.

Did you forget to tell me?

I think that I did forget
to tell you.

Alaska, I'm just saying.
I know.

I know.

A much more relaxed lifestyle.

It's under advisement.

I'm startin' to look
at this whole damn town

like a big ol'
out-of-tune guitar.

You know what I mean?

I mean, smashed up like--

like some--like some
demonic crossword puzzle.

Y'know, 42 across,
11 letters.

Could that be?

Yes, it is!

It's Satan's horns.

Is that a word?

'Cause--'cause I'm seein' it
growin' out of Street's mom

whenever she gets within 20 feet
of a Notre Dame recruiter.

Stop.

33 down, eight letters,
state of bliss.

Starts with a S.

Dude, you're
just being random.

Try SERENITY, a quality
that's in dire shortness

of supply out here.

But you know what?
It doesn't even matter.

I'm thinking about starting
a Christian speed metal band.

You in?

Matthew!

You need to get
a new friend.

Ain't funny.

Got it.

Mr. Street, is it true
that you can throw

a 400-yard touchdown pass
to three different receivers

at the same time?

This is true.

Then you must kiss me.

Is it true that you have
superhuman powers

and can demolish buildings
and hurl fireballs?

This is true.

Then you must kiss me.

Is it true, Mr. Street--

That I love Lyla Garrity?

Yes, is that true,
Mr. Street?

That you love
Lyla Garrity?

More than anything
in the world.

More than football?

More than almost anything
in the world.

Ah ha ha.

All right, listen to this,
y'all.

Large, bright, family home
nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac,

three large bedrooms, a pool,
and his and her closets.

His and her closets.

Relent.

I'm just sayin'.

I know, I know
what you're saying.

Darling, his and her closets.

Moby Dick is actually
the perfect metaphor

for this town.

The cold black sea
representing the season

in all its uncertainties.

Dad.
What?

The magical white whale
is the Holy Grail.

State championship.

Yeah.

The boat, I mean, the whalers
are the team, right?

The players and the coaches.

Smash Williams is Queequeg,

the hulking, African Zulu,
harpoon-hurling whale killer?

Who's that make me?
Coach Ahab?

Absolutely... coach, captain,
hunter, hunted.

Mm-hmm, his and her closets.

Driven to catch
what may be uncatchable.

I'm not so sure
you're mine.

I'm gonna have to order up
a DNA test on you.

Did you hear me?

If we can see
over this front line,

and not bite at those counters,
we may just capture that fish.

His and hers closets,
baby.

Whoo-ooh!

Mmm-mmm.

Leonard, welcome, what's
on your mind?

I'm getting tired of listening

to people up here
worrying about the coach.

These people got nothing better
to do but worry about that?

We got boys
who can play football.

Well, how's Westerby looking?

You get down there, Coach?

Yeah, I just got back.

Yeah, what do you know?

I know they run some
of the fastest

son of a bitch counters
that I've seen in a long time.

Now, the front line
is big.

Not particularly heavy,
but tall.

It's gonna make it hard
to follow that ball.

Now, you're gonna need
to add some height

on your defense.

Maybe play Dillard and Oliver
on those defensive ends.

That way, it'll give you
some height.

You can see down
on them counts.

Yeah, I like that.

Hell with what you like.

You have got to win
this football game.

Now, Coach, I'm dead serious.

Now, you got no excuses,
and that's a lonely place

to be startin'.

With expectations like this,
the only place

you can go is down.

That's the problem
with being this good.

Yeah, I know.

Now, you got to drill 'em
on counters.

I will.

Thanks, Coach.

How's the family?

Everybody's feelin' fine.

Well, enjoy.

'Cause it ain't gonna last.

Coach, it ain't that serious,
it's only football.

It's only football.

It's only football.

It's only football.

All right, now.

Uh, we have a few introductions
that we need

to make at this time, starting
with our mayor, Lucy Rodell.

Thank you.

Thank you,
and welcome, everybody,

to the openin' of this beautiful
automobile dealership

owned and operated
by Buddy Garrity.

Congratulations, Buddy.

And of course, we wanna extend
a special welcome

to Coach Taylor
and his coaching staff.

Gentlemen, can you join me
up here?

Come on up here, fellows.

Come on up, we want you up here
on the stage with us.

This is your team,
ladies and gentlemen.

I'm gonna make this quick.

As a lot of you know, my wife
does most of the talking

around the house.

I'm gonna get in a lot
of trouble for that too.

Uh, thank you, Mayor.

Uh, I wanna second
what Buddy said.

I wanna thank you, everyone,
for coming out tonight.

And I just want to say
what a privilege it is

for each and every one of us
standing up here

to be part of the mighty
Dillon football tradition.

We all--and I speak
for each and every coach,

player, and, uh, trainer
up here.

We all feel honored.

And we feel fully prepared
to represent

this beloved community
this Friday night,

and every Friday night.

Until we bring home
that state championship.

Let's see where that love is
if he loses a game.

I know.

* Panthers gonna play extreme

* Westerby gonna cry
and scream *

* Panthers gonna get
diabolical *

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

* Like Tom Cruise gets
scientological *

* Panthers gonna whoop
that ass *

* As long as Street gets Smash
the pass *

C'mon, give it up, give it up!

Put the rings in the air!

Put those rings in the air!

Make some noise.
Get up on your feet!

Hey, hi!

Hey!

How are you?
Oh, how you?

I'm great,
how are y'all doing?

Oh, fantastic.
Good.

Now, Tami, how come you never
join us for book club?

Oh, well, you know,

with the beginning
of the season--

Oh, come on, Tami.

Wednesday night's
our next meeting.

A little wine,
a little gossip,

it'll be good for you.

That would be great.

Fun.
That would be fun.

We would love
to have you.

Oh, thank y'all--
Wednesday night!

Okay.
Wednesday.

We can't wait.
All right.

Oh, aren't you the cutest thing
I've ever seen?

She is, oh, she is.

All right, y'all.

Okay, we'll see ya!
Bye.

Thank you so much,
bye.

That's gonna be so awful.

Stop it.

Excuse me.

How about a little space, huh?

Coach.

Coach, let me see ya.

How you doing?
Hey, Pete, how you doing?

Well, great to see you.
Hey, Tom, how are you?

Hey, good luck
tomorrow night.

Uh, you know, we've
been watching your offense

for five years.

So it's your time now
for the big money, right?

You're the boss.

Y'know, your name goes
next to that WRL after this one.

It's not like the last
five years, is it?

If he lets you call anything,
throw the ball, son.

Yes, ma'am.

Air it out.
Yes, ma'am.

You know you got the skills,
you know it right there.

Thank you, I--
You got what it takes.

Thank you.
Let her fly.

Yes, ma'am.

You're a nice boy.
Why, thank you.

And you got great manners.
Yes, ma'am.

Knock it off.

You can't go into the game
tomorrow night like that.

The second most important thing

after defense
is the kicking game,

and then they can get
their offense in there.

We're hoping we're gonna
throw the ball

a little bit more
this year.

Carpet bomb 'em,
you understand?

Yes.
Chew 'em up, spit 'em out.

Yes, ma'am.
So we understand each other.

Right?
Yes, ma'am.

Excellent, good, good.
Yes.

You like early Black Sabbath?

Black--Black Sabbath?

It'll make you mean.

You know, the other thing
some people

think is you gotta have
a great quarterback

to win a championship.

That's obviously not true.

I am so confused
about what a blitz is.

It sounds a little sexual.

We've been by there
a couple times,

and didn't see any cars,
and lights were off,

and it concerned us some.

But you have been working,
you've been working.

Have you ever blitzed
an older woman?

You could, you know.

Hi, Jason.

Tyra.

So where's Lyla?

She's meetin' me
here tonight.

Oh, that's too bad.

Why's that?

Y'know, it's gotta get
a little old, Jason.

Like, drinking milk all day,
every day.

You oughta try a milkshake
every once in awhile.

What are you gonna do
tonight?

What do you do the night
before the game?

You've never been a head coach
the night before the game.

You don't even know
what you're gonna do, do you?

Jason, do you mind?

Smile for us.

Oh, is that
your new girlfriend?

No, no, sir.

No.
Excuse me.

Lyla!

Lyla, come here,
come here.

Look, I'm--I'm sorry.

Shouldn't have--I don't
even know how it happened.

She snuck up on me,
cameras started flashing,

I started smiling, I'm sorry.
it shouldn't have happened.

What's your
favorite football team?

Oh, you know, USC.

Oh, yeah?
Hey, Smash.

Hey.
I gotta roll.

Yeah.

How you doin' there,
angel eyes?

Bored as hell.

I hate these things.
Yeah?

I mean, you got that, kinda
that deer in the headlights look

that I'm a little worried

about you steppin' up
to the plate here.

Hillary, I did not have
sexual relations with that girl.

So what are you doing?

Y'know, just chillin'
on top of the world.

Picking diamonds
off the clouds, baby.

I'd love to pick you one.

Oh, is that right?
Yeah.

Funny.

It's time to go home.

No, I'm having
a conversation.

It's cool, man.

Do yourself a favor,
Williams.

Shut your face while I talk
to my girl here.

Say that again.

Guys, stop.

C'mon, Rig.
No.

No.
No, Rig, bring that.

Say that again.
Been meaning
to ask you something.

You're all about God,
but at the same time,

you got the bling
right there.

Guys, seriously!

You're some mouth,
aren't you?

We don't want you to go
out there and be soft

and be scared.
Oh, we're not gonna be
soft.

We want you
to be aggressive now.

Are you going to be able
to answer the bell

and bring championships
back to this town?

We wanna win championships.

Now, you guys really want
to focus on learning these plays

'cause these are
the exact same plays

that we run, and if you
learn it right here

like we all did, you'll have
a pretty solid understanding

of what's gonna be expected
of you once you get to varsity.

All right?

Yes, sir!

Mr. Street?

Yes, son?

Are you gonna play
professional football?

I'm thinkin' about it.

I think you should.

I think you should play
for the Cowboys.

And that you should be better
than Roger Staubach,

and better than Troy Aikman.

I'm gonna think about it,
but I'm gonna go

through school first,
and we'll see what happens, son.

I think you can be better
than Peyton Manning.

Oh, I appreciate that.

Let's pray.

Mr. Street?

Do you think God
loves football?

I think that everybody
loves football.

Me too.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,

on earth as it
is in Heaven.

It sure is nice.

Mm-hmm, and you saw the room
in the bathroom.

I am tellin' you,

room in the bathroom is what has
saved more marriages

than Oprah
and Dr. Phil combined.

It is so peaceful,
isn't it?

It is peaceful.

So why don't you have
your wife come down

and take a look?

Well, I'll tell you,
I don't think I have to do that.

I think she's gonna like this
just fine.

Oh, I'm sure she will.

So you gonna make
an offer?

Hmm?

I'll tell you what...

Let's see how we play
Friday night,

and then we'll be
getting back to you.

You're gonna kill 'em,
Coach.

I hope so.

Bring 'em hell.

I'm just a little concerned
about Coach Taylor.

He's not been a head coach
before.

He's not experienced.

Uh, you know, he's gonna rely
on Street too much.

The thing is, is that,
he just can't keep on throwing

all the time.

I mean, this ain't
the West Coast, you know?

This is Texas football.

I understand.

He's got a running back
like Smash Williams.

I don't think he's plannin'--

*

Here's how I figure
it's gonna work.

Correct me if I miss something
here, but...

I'm cool just hanging out
right here, man.

You go do your, what?

Maybe ten years
in the NFL.

Say at five mil a year.

You give me 1%
of every paycheck.

Mmm.

Mmm.

When it's all said
and done,

you and me are gonna own
ourselves

a big old hunting ranch.

I'll keep it stocked
with some ladies.

What?

Hello?

There's only one little problem,
Rigs.

I don't want you living
on my land.

Yeah, you do.

I'm the caretaker, Streeter.

Whether you like it
or not.

Here's to God...

And football...

And ten years
from now, Street.

Good friends living large
in Texas.

Texas forever, Street.

Texas forever.

Yo, everybody, listen up!

Let's do it.

Let's touch God
this time, boys.

Let's touch God.

The radio 470 AM,
and it is on.

It is game day, people!

And I have never felt
this kind of electricity.

Not in years.

This town of Dillon, Texas
is on fire,

and I mean really
on fire.

*

The Panthers should win
this game,

there's no question
about it.

With all the buildup and
the hype of this season,

and the talent
they have on this team...

It's that great
offensive backfield

for Dillon that has
everybody's eye.

Jason Street, the quarterback,
and Smash Williams,

the tailback, there's nobody
better, probably.

Finally got here after
a long summer of practice.

Lot of expectations on
this Dillon Panther ball club.

Panthers are the team
to beat.

Feed the dogs, spit the fire,
lock up your daughters.

Turn on the radio, sit down,
and shut up

'cause it is game time,
people!

Whoo!

Gentlemen...

There's been a lot of talk
about expectation lately.

Expectation of what we should
be able to do to win.

People are expecting.

People are expecting
quite a bit.

I see us winning
out there tonight.

I have no trouble
seeing that.

That is not what
I'm expecting.

I expect you boys to go
out there

and not take
this team lightly

because I promise you,
they're gonna come at you

with everything they've got.

I expect you boys
to execute.

Yes, sir.

I expect you boys
to play football.

Yes, sir.

Clear eyes, full hearts,
can't lose.

Can't lose!

You deserve this,
do you understand?

Yes, sir.

You've earned this,

the right to win.

You put that in your head.

You too, Coach.

Expect to win.

You've earned that.

We are underway.

Out on the left side,
gets away from one man,

breaks another tackle,
and gets about a 25-yard gain

out to the 40-yard line.

It's a great way
to start the season.

We got strong left eye,
wide flip, 24 counter on one.

On one, ready?
Huh!

Let's see what this
young superstar's got for us.

First chance to see the 6'2",
190-pound quarterback Street,

along with Smash Williams,
Tim Riggins in the backfield.

The hand-off to Williams,
he tries that right side.

Gets away!

Oh, this kid can move!

First down, Panthers!

...by Smash Williams.

He bounces it outside,
and breaks a tackle.

We got the cornerback.

I want Barracuda 550.

Barracuda 550.

And the hand-off this time

to big Tim Riggins,
the fullback.

Oh, Tim gets ten yards
before getting pulled down.

You gotta love Tim Riggins
when he runs.

It's going back to Manny,
27 stretch, on one.

On one, ready?
Huh!

Panthers on a roll,

just like we thought
they'd be.

First and ten at the 35.

Street, drops straight back
to pass,

has Eugene Williams
open over the middle.

He's there with a touchdown!

Touchdown, the first touchdown
of the season!

So it's Westerby's turn
to respond now,

after the easy touchdown drive
for Dillon.

Coy Awnee brings back
the kickoff

for Westerby,
and up the left side,

the near side, he gets away,
and gets a beautiful run

back to the Dillon
40-yard line.

And the first down's called,
a little bit of misdirection,

as they always do,
and Campbell bounces it out.

And gets away!

He's gonna go all the way
into the end zone!

Westerby scores on its
first play from scrimmaging.

Wow, we heard
about these counters,

and man are they fast.

What a great misdirection.

And it fooled the Panthers.

We're already
into the second quarter.

Westerby's Chaps giving us
all we can handle right now.

Big block.
Tim Riggins.

Uhh! Oof!

Jason Street brings him out.

Takes the snap.
Drops straight back to pass.

Looks left.
Finds Tony Golia.

He's there.

He's got to catch,
dives to the cone.

Did he get in?
Yes, touchdown, Dillon!

Don't you fall for that!

That's the sign
of a great leader,

and that's
who Jason Street is.

Westerby with the first down

and ten at the 30-yard line,
though.

That's it!

And Ferguson, one-on-one
coverage,

is open over the middle.

He's got it!

Touchdown, Westerby.

I'll tell you,
Westerby is showing up

a lot stronger than anyone
thought they would.

Coach Taylor has got
to do something

You need to get
your head out of your butt

and start playing up
to your own district potential.

'Cause you ain't
doing it now!

He's having to help you.

Haven't we got one guy coming,
he's having to help you?!

What are you seeing
out there, Street?

Seeing a lot of Texas
defense, coach.

Texas?
Yes, sir.

Our corners are jamming.

They're staying out there
in the flats.

It seems like I'm getting a lot
of pressure off the outsides.

Coming off the ends
like crazy.

I can't even see 'em.

The safeties are staying
pretty deep,

so we got a lot
of short stuff.

More slants and crosses,
I think.

Play it close
to over the top?

We can fade
if I can get some time.

But they gotta beat that jam
off of the line.

Plus, I'm getting blitzed like
crazy off the weak side.

I ain't even see it coming.

You are not that good!

See what's going on, now.
We need some more time.

Coach, they are running
the box down on us.

We have not been communicating.
We're gonna pick it up now.

Hey, you guys wanna
communicate now?!

Yes, sir!

We're going
into a fistfight!

Smash gets the call,
tries to go outside.

There's nothing there,

and he gets thrown
for a five-yard loss.

That didn't work.

They're totally out of sorts
here in the second half.

Fellas, this is our field day.
Do not push us around!

Street tries to find Horn
over the middle.

He gets bumped hard.

And even the passing game's
out of sync, K.C.

Nothing is working
right now.

It is really
a dangerous time.

Westerby blew out
that offensive line that time.

54 Bandit.
They're fast!

Run your routes.
Have faith in your routes.

You will catch the ball.

It will be there
every time,

and we will take this
down the field.

Nobody expected Westerby
to be giving us

this kinda trouble.

The Panthers are looking
completely out of sync!

Aw, come on!

Westerby right now clearly
with the momentum.

Ed, that was horse crud!

Watch yourself, Coach.

You let a team like Westerby
stick around long enough,

they think
they could beat ya.

And the give is to Campbell
on the counter yet again.

And he gets a long way

all the way down towards
the goal line.

He is down
at the one yard line.

They just seem to have
no answer for these counters.

Triple stack formation.

Fakes once, fakes twice.

Gives to Cameron over
the top--dives--

And he's in the end zone!
Touchdown Westerby!

The Westerby Chaps lead
with six minutes to go.

And Coach Taylor and his boys
are in deep trouble

with time running out.

The Panthers cannot believe
what's going on.

Eric Taylor's gotta do
something

to figure this thing out.

Dillon trying to rally
from down ten.

A flip pass to Williams.

That's another first down.

Move the ball!
Move the ball!

We're gonna come back.

Look at me!

Are you ready
to play this game?

We got strong left, 89 gun,
453 heat on one, on one.

Ready, break!

Third and five
on the Panther 38.

Come on now, offense.
Let's go!

Well, they gotta get
something going.

Down by ten.

They need two possessions,

and score
in those two possessions

to win the ballgame.

Third and five.

And Street looks like
he's in command

like we've seen him
look before.

This is a critical play
for the Panthers.

Hut!

Street takes the snap.

Drops back to pass.
Has protection.

Throws a wobble.

Oh, it's picked off
by Chandler.

Interception.

He's got a good wall
in front of him.

Down on the left side.

Street the only one

that might be able
to get to him.

Fumble on the play.
A fumble.

The ball is loose!

Get the ball!
Get the ball!

That's a gigantic hit
on Street.

He's down on the ground.
He is down.

Who is that, Street?

That's Street.

Trainer!

What happened?

And he's not moving.
That was a heckuva hit!

When Street met Chandler.

And he was the only one
that could've stopped him

from scoring
what would've been

a game-ending touchdown
basically for Westerby.

He's not getting up.

It's very quiet
here in this stadium.

Doctor.

He's not getting up.

You know, this is obviously
the worst nightmare

for a coach and especially
for a parent.

Well, you know,
his entire family of course

in the crowd tonight.

Even some folks from his family
from out of state

making the trip.

Why isn't he getting up?

Can you hear me?

Yes.

Okay, I'm gonna check
your eyes--Hold on.

Jason!
Jason, get up!

Please.

*

I think it's a spinal injury.
I'm not sure yet.

But he has been moving--

Can you squeeze my hands
for me, buddy?

Squeezing!
Good, good, good.

Can you move your feet
for me?

Yes.
Good, good, good.

Should we try to get him
on the backboard real quick?

Let's keep him steady, guys.
Let's keep him steady.

It looks like they're gonna
have to take him off.

In fact, they've got him
strapped to the headboard now

and they're lifting him up,
and they'll put him

in the ambulance shortly.

Just move him sideways slowly.
Perfect.

You're doing real good there.
Real good.

Thank you.

Okay, we're going up.
One, two, three.

Okay, we're going up.

Perfect.

You know, the amazing thing is

we got the number one
football player in America

carted off on a stretcher.

But this game has to go on.
It has to be finished.

And the third string
quarterback--

no one's seen this guy play--
is Matt Saracen.

I don't know if
he's taken a snap in practice.

Well, you can see the look
on his face right now.

I don't think he ever expected
to play in this one.

You know, here he is
in maybe the biggest game

of his life.

Yeah, this young man's
gonna have to get down

to some serious business,
because his team needs it.

And he's gonna have
to communicate with this team

and get them back in the game.

Coach, I need your captains,
please.

Captains!

Saracen.

Quarterback's captain.

Okay, guys.
Everybody all right?

We have just under
three minutes to go.

I want you to play hard.
I want you to play fair.

And I want you to go back
and tell your players

to keep your heads up.

Hit only
what you see.

Y'all understand?

I want you to take that back
and tell your guys, all right?

Let's finish this thing up
with style.

Best of luck, guys.

You gotta be calm
in this situation.

Don't turn the ball over.
Don't do something foolish.

All right,
we're going pro right 90.

No, we're going pro left 90.
Pro left 90.

You know the play, right?

Yeah, okay.
We're going pro--pro left 90.

25 blast on one.

- Ready?
- Break!

Matt Saracen, the sophomore,
comes out

and leads his team
to the line of scrimmage

to take
his first meaningful snap

probably in his life.

And everybody's looking
at young Matt Saracen,

who calls the wrong play
and gets drilled.

He went the wrong way,
and he paid the price.

Well, you gotta try
and get a first down.

Come on, Matt.
You can do it!

Okay, here's Saracen
dropping back to pass.

And he throws the ball--

Oh, man.
This kid is shook up.

He has hit his own man right
in the back of the helmet.

That's not the way
to instill confidence

in your teammates.

Saracen, get over here!

Panther time-out.

You okay?

Breathe.
Slow down.

I want you to try
to read the coverage.

You remember how
to read the coverage?

Not so well, sir.
Look at me.

What you do is
you go out there

and you look
before you throw the ball.

You look and see
where the defense is

and you see
where our guys are.

You with me?
Yes, sir.

Then you throw the ball
to our guys.

You got that?
Yes, sir.

Do your best.

Go on.

Coach Taylor has gotta be
just thinking about getting

out of this game.

We're going pro right,
25 shovel.

Smash, this is you.
I got this.

All right, ready?
On one.

Break!

Big ol' third down play now
for the Panthers.

Let's see if Saracen can

at least get
the snap this time.

He's got to do something
with this play.

Saracen back to pass.

A shovel pass to Williams.

Goes off the left side.
Has some room.

Up the field he goes.
Hey, that's a pretty good toss.

Awesome.
Great job.

And they needed that play,
K.C.

All of a sudden, some life
on the Panther sideline

and in the stands too.

Strong right eye,
28 tango.

Ready?
On one.

Break!

You can feel the energy
picking up a little bit now.

Maybe something's starting
to happen.

I'm going in.
It's all you.

Saracen at
the line of scrimmage.

Hut!

Takes the snap.
Pitches to Smash.

He's got some room.

He's gonna go all the way.

Touchdown!

Hey, okay.
Just like that.

The Panthers are right back
in the game.

We did it!
We did it!

Now it's all about the clock.

They've got less than
a minute to go.

Coach Taylor's gotta be
thinking about an onside kick.

Gotta get the good hands,

people out there
who line up and get that ball.

And here's the kick.
It is onside.

A mad scramble!
Westerby misses it!

The ball is still loose.

A scramble for the ball.
Who's got it?

It looks like
it could be the Panther ball.

Panthers have it!
Panthers have it!

Here we go!

All right!

Timmy Riggins comes up
with the football.

Go right 90,
4-7-5 high.

We got a chance
to win this game.

What a story.

Young Matt Saracen
bringing his team

back into the ballgame.

He drops back to pass.
No, fakes!

He hands off.
Statue of Liberty--

He'll school you
if he's got room.

He's gonna have to get
out of bounds, and he does!

They're gonna have to hurry.

It's gonna start as soon as
they move those chains.

Trying to get the team
back on sides.

Coach Taylor
screaming in plays.

It's chaos out there
right now.

Towards right!
Towards right!

Go, go!

Snap the ball!
Snap it!

Rushing to get the play off.

Saracen calling
for the shotgun.

He's back.

He's left.
He falls.

No, he gets up on his feet.

Being pursued
by two Westerby defenders.

Go, baby!

Come on, Matthew!

He eludes a tackle.

The clock runs out.
He pumps.

He steps up.
He hurls that football.

Oh, man, can this kid
throw the ball!

He's definitely wide open.

He's got it!
At the 20...the 10...

He's going all the way!

Touchdown!

Panthers win!
Panthers win!

Matt Saracen somehow
brings this team back

to win the football game.

How do you do?

Congratulations, Coach.

Right now,
it's not really about

who wins or loses, Father.

We just all wanna be
with Street right now, God.

We know that you work
in mysterious ways

and we just wanna send
our spirit, our presence,

our love, just to heal him
in whatever way, Lord--

whatever might be broken, Lord.
Just fix it right now, Father.

Jesus, in your name we pray.
Amen.

Amen.

Give all of us gathered here
tonight

the strength to remember
that life is so very fragile.

We are all vulnerable.

And we will all,
at some point in our lives,

fall.

We will all fall.

We must carry this
in our hearts...

that what we have is special.

That it can be taken
from us...

and that when it is taken
from us,

we will be tested.

We will be tested
to our very souls.

We will now all be tested.

It is these times--
it is this pain--

that allows us
to look inside ourselves.
