[Rafael] My name is Rafael Diaz.

They call me El Gallo.

(fists thudding)

That's me gettin' my ass whipped by Sosa.

(fists thudding)

[Man] Come on, tie him up!

[Rafael] I was one fight away

from fighting for the championship.

All I had to do was win.

But, you know, things don't always work out as planned.

(fist thuds)

(crowd cheering) (bell dings)

I got new shit comin' next week.

[Ellie] Papi!

I'll be there in a sec.

I gotta go.

- It's my daughter. - All right, man.

Just call me, man.

Yeah, I know what you're gonna say,

but what can I do?

I gotta make a livin'.

Hey sweetie, you ready to go back to your mom's?

Who is that guy?

Oh, that's just one of Daddy's friends.

Come on, let's go get you a toy.

(dramatic music)

This is the Lower East side, my home,

where only the strong survive.

I was born and raised in this place.

It's your typical New York City neighborhood.

Unless you decide to do something stupid.

(suspenseful music)

[Javier] Here I come, motherfucker.

Here I come.

Here I come, motherfucker.

Woohoo.

Woo, here we come, boy.

Ooh, I see you runnin'! (laughs)

(speaking in Spanish)

Yo, yo, look, split up, split up.

- Split up! - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Javier] Goddamn it.

You motherfucker.

Slow down, you motherfucker.

I'm comin'.

Ooh, I'm gonna knock you in your face

when I catch you, boy.

Boom, bitch!

[Javier] What the fuck are you doing

selling no our turf?

[Man With Beard] Go fuck yourself.

[Javier] You one of Flanigan's guys, motherfucker?

Oh shit, the micks.

Oh shit!

(gun firing)

(tires screeching)

(dramatic pulsating music)

(soft romantic music)

(woman groaning)

Ah.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh, ooh.

Oh. (groaning)

(couple moaning)

(cell phone ringing)

[Woman] No, no, no, keep going.

What?

Damn.

Okay, I'll be back down.

I'm coming down.

(speaking in Spanish)

Why are we going this way?

Huh?

I had a little problem with the white boys last night.

What happened?

I saw him selling on the Ave.

As I was trying to get information out of him,

a car drove by and started shooting.

Somebody got shot?

Yeah, one of the motherfuckers got shot.

He's dead.

The boss ain't gonna like this.

Nah, he ain't.

He wanna see me later.

(pensive music)

[Man] Open up the door, damn it.

It's about damn time.

What's up, man?

- Yo. - Yes, boys.

Yo, (laughs) I heard you got chewed out from Don Felipe.

How does this fuckin' happen?

I send you on a simple delivery and a guy ends up dead!

But not just any fucking guy, a protected white boy.

Can you explain to me what happened?

Javier sees a white boy, we go up to him,

he talkin' 'bout, "I'm sellin' on this corner."

And jets runnin'.

Me and Javier and this dude start chasin' him,

caught up to him, boom, give him a smackdown,

all of a sudden do-do-do-do-do,

from the old micks themselves, yo.

It was crazy.

Took out they own boy.

That don't make fuckin' sense.

I mean, I knew you weren't that fuckin' dumb.

Come here, come here.

I want you to keep your eyes open

and stay alert at all times 'cause this is gonna get ugly.

Now get the fuck outta here.

And take Bigfoot with you.

What kind of car he have?

It was white.

Uh, white Charger.

- Like a Charger, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tinted out windows.

It was crazy, man.

We all better be careful from now on.

Yeah, know what?

Fuck the motherfuckers, ya know?

That's not what I do.

Look, I gotta go.

Yeah, I got some guys, I'll talk to you later.

What did I say about interrupting me?

Huh?

Learn some fuckin' manners.

[Man] Sam got shot last night.

What?

Who the fuck shot him?

One of Don Felipe's guys.

You sure about that?

They said it was a short Spanish kid with a ski hat.

Could be that piece of shit, Javier.

Is that it?

Johnny, you stick around.

I wanna see Rafael.

Can you make that happen?

[Johnny] Yeah, sure boss.

Good, good.

(children chattering)

Papi!

[Rafael] Hey, baby.

What happened to your face.

I fell.

You wouldn't lie to me, would you?

(somber music)

Mommy's boyfriend.

Mommy's boyfriend did this to you?

He told me if I told anyone he will hit me again.

Nobody's going to hit you, okay?

Daddy's here to protect you.

You wanna get some ice cream?

Come on.

[Sonia] Hey.

How dare you let that man touch my daughter.

He didn't put a hand on her, she fell.

Bullshit, that's not what she said.

She's five years old,

you gonna believe everything she says?

Yes, and she has the bruises to prove it.

Believe what you wanna believe.

I don't give a fuck what you say.

[Rafael] What'd you say?

I said I don't give a fuck.

Don't test me, Sonia, okay?

Get the fuck outta here before I call the cops.

Go ahead and I'll tell 'em what happened.

And I'll tell them you sell drugs.

Ellie!

(somber ambient music)

Had a big argument with Rafael today.

What happened now?

He saw the bruise on her arm.

Oh yeah?

She told him it was you.

That little girl got a big mouth.

I said that you didn't do nothin', that she fell.

That's exactly what happened.

I know, baby, I believe you.

She's grounded for a week.

(speaking in Spanish)

(soft orchestral music)

(singing in Spanish on radio)

Oh yes.

(speaking in Spanish)

Nada, just checkin' on you guys.

(speaking Spanish)

Good.

(speaking in Spanish)

All right, take care, guys.

(speaking in Spanish)

Where've you been?

We were at the building.

There's word that one of our kids has been killed.

We're in code red.

Under no circumstances do any one of you go out alone.

You go out in pairs and you go out loaded.

Did he die?

Yeah, he's fuckin' dead, Javier!

He was only 17 years old.

Shit.

All right, get your fuckin' heads outta your asses.

This is not the time to act weak.

Let's go over there and start cappin' the motherfuckers.

Nah, now we wait.

We hit them when they least expect us.

(speaking in Spanish), we can't just sit here

and let him kill more of our people.

I said we wait.

I'm tellin' you, man, if the boss don't do nothing

about it, I'm gonna go over there and shoot them myself.

[Rafael] Nah, he's gonna take care to it.

(Javier scoffs)

Hey, look at that, yo!

[Javier] Shit.

(tense music)

Yo. (punch thuds)

(speaking in Spanish)

Get the fuck outta here, man.

You okay?

Yeah.

Why'd you help me.

Don't worry about it.

Go ahead, go home.

Gracias.

- Yeah, man. - Come on.

(pulsating music)

Hey.

You didn't tell me you were doin' laundry,

I was bangin' on your door.

[Sonia] I don't gotta tell you nothin' anymore.

(sighs) Anyway.

How are you, sweetie?

You miss Daddy?

Yeah, a lot.

[Rafael] Aw, I miss you, too.

Are we going home?

[Rafael] Home? Sweetie, you're home.

I mean your home.

[Rafael] Not today, Daddy's very busy.

Selling drugs?

[Rafael] No. Who told you that?

Mommy.

[Rafael] Sonia, are you crazy?

Why are you telling her that?

'Cause it's true.

You got my money?

That's all you care about, right.

It's all you're good for.

[Rafael] Here.

The fuck is this?

I'm gettin' sick and tired of this shit.

I wait three weeks and you give me 50 fuckin' bucks?

I gotta buy her some food, she needs clothes for school.

That's all I got for now, all right?

You act like I'm not tryin'.

Anyway, I gotta go.

Bye, baby.

You're lucky I don't take your ass to court.

[Rafael] Mm-hm.

So, it was his first run for me.

I told him, just go up 1st Avenue.

So as he's driving, he keeps seeing this car behind him.

So he makes the turn onto the 59th Street bridge

and he gets stopped by the cops.

Why'd they stop him?

'Cause his fuckin' taillight was out.

(speaking in Spanish)

So, he gets all nervous and shit, opens up the drawer

to get the car papers, bang, gun falls out.

(speaking in Spanish)

Why would you put that there?

(speaking in Spanish)

So they arrest him and when they comb the car,

they find $30,000 worth of my shit.

(speaking in Spanish)

So the DA gives him a deal.

If he gives up his supplier, he let's him walk.

But he never did.

He did five years for that shit and never gave me up.

He might be a little dumb, but he's loyal as fuck.

Yup, that he is.

So, what's goin' on with this big fight?

I got Rodriguez big.

Yeah, it might not happen.

It's in danger of fuckin' bein' called off.

Why? (speaking in Spanish)

Rodriguez got pulled over by the cops last night

on suspicion of drunk driving.

That's nothing.

You can get him off, right?

It's his third DUI.

They ain't gonna let him go for awhile.

(speaking in Spanish)

Can't you find somebody else to take his place?

That's my fuckin' problem.

All my choices are either injured or fighting.

How 'bout Rafael, boss?

Rafael? (scoffs) No way.

Who's Rafael?

[Don Felipe] Rafael Diaz, some guy who works for me.

Rafael Diaz?

(speaking in Spanish)

Well, he was a very talented boxer.

Yeah, he was.

He's still got it, boss.

You shoulda seen him whippin' some dude's ass.

The guy was, like, twice his size.

I don't like it.

(speaking in Spanish)

I'll give this fight a great storyline.

A buzz, you know, something different.

He hasn't fought in an eternity.

What kinda storyline's that gonna be?

(speaking in Spanish)

No, Felipe.

(speaking in Spanish)

He just has to last a couple rounds

with Marquez and that's it.

Nah, nah, you're talkin' about Marquez here.

I don't like it.

You'll compensated handsomely, of course.

Oh?

And, uh, what kind of plata we talkin' about here?

Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

(Don Felipe clears throat)

I'm in.

(bar patrons chattering)

Hi.

[Bartender] Hi.

Can I have a beer and your number?

(sighs) Here's your beer.

Where you from?

What's your name?

Callie.

♪ California love ♪

♪ California ♪

[Callie] God. (chuckles)

You're killin' the girl's ear, man.

Rafael, this is, uh...

Erin.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, come on.

(Erin and Rafael chuckle)

I have to go to the stockroom

but do you want something on my way back?

A beer.

Okay.

Your phone number, too.

We'll see.

(speaking in Spanish)

[Rafael] You think so?

[Javier] No, cabron.

How'd it go with the ex?

Aw, man, don't even ask.

Shit, that bad?

Put it this way, sometimes I wish murder was legal.

Ai, papa.

Don't let her get to you, bro.

She's just tryin' to make your life miserable.

And she's doin' a good job, too.

You comin' with us to get Chino tonight?

Naw, I gotta meet somebody.

- (phone buzzing) - Fuck.

Shit.

Uh, I gotta go to the basement.

Hit you after, all right?

Okay.

You better close.

(speaking in Spanish)

(singing in Spanish)

Yo, Rodriguez is getting big.

Have you seen him?

Is he juicing?

[Man] You mean Marquez?

Probably is.

That's what I meant, Marquez, you're right.

Yeah, Marquez is big.

[Man] If I was still fightin' I'd fuck both of 'em up.

Dude, you couldn't even beat 'em in the wheelchair, man.

[Man] I beat you in a wheelchair.

Eh, fuck you, man.

[Man] Yeah, all right.

I still like Rodriguez, though.

He's quicker.

[Man] You think he'll be able to beat Marquez?

Yeah, bro.

- You serious? - That guy has power,

- though. - He's freakin' black, man.

Black people got power, son.

[Man] What you know about boxin'?

[Man In Brown Sweater] A little bit.

Poker's my game, though.

Let me see your hands.

Let me see your fuckin' hands.

Javier, check his pockets.

Hey, what you doin', ah!

Yo, get off me.

(ominous music)

Looks like pieces of cards.

[Man In Brown Sweater] Don Felipe, I can explain.

You know what I hate most about this whole situation?

Not that you're stealing from me,

but that you got the balls to lie to me.

Okay, I did it.

How long have I known you?

(speaking in Spanish)

Have I ever disrespected you in any way?

[Man In Brown Sweater] No, never.

Then why you gotta disrespect me?

I'm so sorry, Don Felipe.

This will never happen again.

Oh, I'm sure it won't.

Get him outta here.

(speaking in Spanish)

(ominous ambient music)

(dramatic music)

(laughing) Oh God.

I hope they don't make another part to that movie.

It was horrible.

Yeah, they can't bring him back

after him blowing up like that.

Unless they Krazy Glue him back together. (laughs)

Oh my God.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Why'd you quit boxing?

I don't know, I just didn't wanna do it anymore.

Why?

(ominous music)

Get down.

Come, come, come, come, come here.

I'm sorry about that.

Who was that?

I'll explain later, come on.

Okay.

They follow me to the bathroom, you know?

They was thinking I have no idea what they have of mine.

So, I got into the shower and one of these guy

grab me from behind. (laughs)

I turn around and I say (speaking in Spanish).

And he's like, (speaking in Spanish).

I said, "Oh yeah?"

I take him by the neck, (speaking in Spanish).

Boom, boom, boom!

One of the other ones said

(speaking in Spanish).

(men laugh)

That's my son protecting his ass.

(men laugh)

You go try.

Listen, can everybody please leave?

I need to have a word in private with Rafael.

I heard you did some serious ass kickin' the other night.

Yeah, I was helpin' out a kid who was gettin' beat up.

I'm sorry I didn't mention it to you.

It's all right.

You don't have to report everything to me.

I'm not the fuckin' IRS.

(chuckles) So, what's up, boss?

How do you feel about a comeback?

Comeback to what?

[Don Felipe] Boxing.

Are you joking or...

Do I look like I'm joking?

(chuckles) See what you made me do.

Yeah, I'm fuckin' serious.

[Rafael] Okay.

A friend of mine is a promoter.

Her name is Carlos.

She had a big fight set up between Jason Marquez

and Tito Rodriguez but Rodriguez

got into some trouble and can't fight.

She?

Yeah, she.

Camilla, childhood nickname was Carlos.

No man or woman could compare to her ruthlessness,

so do not fuck with her.

She sounds pretty connected.

If she can get any fighter she wants

why would they want me?

Yeah, and she chose you out of all those fighters.

It's a great opportunity for you.

It's one in a million.

(speaking in Spanish)

No, I can't.

I haven't fought in five years.

I got nothin' to bring to this fight.

Carlos knows that and she's willing to take the risk.

There's $50,000 in it for you.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

[Don Felipe] It sure is.

Can I think about it?

Yeah, you got 48 hours.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

So, what did you want to show me?

This is where I come to think, get stuff off my mind.

I'm sorry about the other day.

Not my idea of a first date. (chuckles)

That's okay, that's okay.

I kinda liked it.

It was exciting.

Really?

Yeah.

(Rafael laughs)

Don't tell me you're gonna say no.

Yeah, you know it.

(speaking in Spanish)

It's $50,000.

It ain't about the money, man.

I'm not gonna embarrass myself again.

You saw what happened the last time I fought.

That was a long time ago, bro.

For that kind of money,

I'd jump off a plane without a parachute.

You're a funny guy.

No, seriously, bro.

This is your second chance.

Your chance to get out of the streets

and do something positive with your life.

(speaking in Spanish)

What if you win?

Have you thought about that?

(knocking at the door)

(speaking in Spanish)

Hi, Mami.

(speaking in Spanish)

[Tv Announcer] We got Ed Stanley comin' up,

batting a respectable .325.

That's not bad as we enter the playoffs.

(speaking in Spanish)

No.

(speaking in Spanish)

That's five in a row.

(speaking in Spanish)

You've been acting strange with me lately.

(speaking in Spanish)

I know something's wrong.

You wanna know what's wrong?

It's the job you keep.

Everyone in the neighborhood knows.

They all know you belong to some criminal gang

selling drugs to kids.

You don't know the looks and stares and questions I get.

I don't live for those people, Pop.

I live for myself.

They don't pay my rent.

They don't feed my daughter.

I know it's not an honest living, but it is a living.

And what about your boxing career?

We worked so hard to get you second from the top.

One more bout to the championship

and you just throw it away like some garbage.

I'm sorry I disappointed you, Dad.

I disappointed myself, too.

It's too late for sorry.

Pop, there's something very important

I need to talk to you about.

I'm done with talking.

Get out of my house.

What?

I said get out.

(somber music)

(speaking in Spanish)

What's the matter, baby?

You're not yourself tonight.

Nothing.

Nothing?

That doesn't look like the face of nothing.

I got into an argument with my dad today.

So?

I argue with mine all the time.

This was different.

He threw me outta the house.

I'm sorry.

Was it about the same thing?

Yeah, pretty much.

Well, did you tell him about the offer you got?

No, I didn't have the chance to.

(soft ambient music)

I decided not to take the fight.

Are you fuckin' kidding me?

No.

You know the boss ain't gonna like it.

I know, but I gotta do what's right by me.

(phone ringing)

(speaking Spanish)

No, it's my mother.

Hi, Mami.

(speaking in Spanish)

Shit, I gotta go.

(speaking in Spanish)

Let's go!

(dramatic orchestral music)

(bird cawing)

So what the pig say?

He say he don't sell his soul to criminals.

Oh yes, he's a bigger criminal than me.

Did you make him the offer?

Of course I do.

He threw it in my face.

He say I was lucky he didn't arrest me for bribery.

(phone ringing)

(speaking in Spanish)

No, no he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

(speaking in Spanish)

I'll talk to him.

I'll talk to him.

Okay, okay. (speaking in Spanish)

I gotta have a talk with this kid.

Rafael?

[Don Felipe] Yeah.

I don't know why you choose that cabron to fight.

He's gonna get murdered.

Hey, it wasn't my idea.

It was Carlos.

Besides it's all about my money.

Do you talk with Carlos about my comeback?

(speaking in Spanish)

You're not fighting anymore.

I need your ass workin' for me.

(speaking in Spanish)

Now, go back to the fuckin' cop,

offer him double, and tell him it's my final offer.

(suspenseful music)

Rafael Diaz.

And you are?

Camilla, or you may know me as Carlos.

[Rafael] I've heard of you.

And I know a lot about you.

My condolences.

I heard about your dad.

Thank you.

I'm still waiting for you to accept the fight.

I'm not gonna do it.

(speaking in Spanish)

The money's not enough?

That's not it.

I'm sure you can get another fighter.

Another fighter?

No, I don't want another fighter.

I want you, papa.

No, I already told you I'm not gonna do it.

You know what, it's good your dad is dead

'cause I'm sure he wouldn't be happy to know

what a fucking pussy you are.

I usually don't talk to women like this,

but fuck you and your fight.

We'll see.

Mami.

Mami.

Mami.

(speaking in Spanish)

How you holding up, Mami.

Okay, I guess.

Is there anything I can do for you?

No, (speaking in Spanish).

I picked up your mail.

There's a lot of unpaid bills here.

Mami...

Mami, this is a $30,000 bill.

(speaking in Spanish)

You don't know how happy you just made me.

It's gon' be the fight of the year.

A dogfight!

Lower East Side (speaking Spanish) Brooklyn!

So, when is this fight?

A month from today.

But that's not enough time.

I need more time...

Can't change the date.

It's already set.

It's a lot of money invested in that date.

You got a trainer?

Yeah, I got one.

Then we're set.

(boxing bags thudding)

All right, let's go.

One two, one two.

Stay on it.

Stay on it, that's it.

Stay on it.

That's right, that's right.

One two, one two.

One two.

There you go, one two.

There you go, one two.

I see the old man still got it.

(men laughing)

- Rafael. - How you been?

Good, good, I'm good, man.

It's been a long time since I last saw you.

- Oof. - Too long.

That's it. Hit the ring.

That's Roberto.

He's my next great fighter.

He reminds me a little bit of you.

Nice.

What if I told you I was makin' a comeback?

Ah, I'd say you're crazy.

It's true, and I want you to train me.

I really know you're crazy.

I can't do it.

I'm semi-retired.

[Rafael] What does that mean?

It means I only train the young kids now like Roberto.

You know, kids that have a future?

So you're sayin' I don't have a future.

No, Rafael, I'm sayin' you had a future.

You're 33 years old.

You haven't fought in nearly five years.

Why do you wanna fight now?

I got a fight in four weeks.

What?

With who?

Marquez.

You messin' with me.

Look, I understand if you don't wanna train me.

It's cool.

Good seein' you.

(hands clapping)

Okay, let's go, in the middle.

(Rafael grunting)

That's it?

(laughs) It's my first day.

How'd you know I was here?

This is where we used to train.

And I figured if you were serious

about what you said yesterday I would find you right here.

So what you saying?

You gonna train me?

That's why I'm here.

(chuckles) Thank you.

No, no, no, don't thank me yet.

We've got a lot, a lot of work to do, all right?

All right, all right.

Let's go, back at it.

(Rafael grunting)

That's it.

Nice form, that's it.

Nice, nice.

(upbeat electronic music)

(crowd cheering) (bell ringing)

(engine rumbling)

Get in the car.

(suspenseful music)

Boss.

You remember me?

Come on, all that time we hung out?

Don't tell me you forgot.

Mr. Flanigan.

Yeah.

Relax, everything's cool as you can see.

So, I heard about the comeback.

Yeah.

So that's what's up.

I'm fuckin' happy for ya, kid.

Thanks.

Listen, I'm sorry about the bad blood

between our organizations.

It's just business, ya know?

That greedy fuck, he wants every block

in Alphabet City to himself.

We're just tryin' to survive, ya know?

The second my boys, they start makin' a livin',

tryin' to make a livin', boom.

Someone shoots 'em dead.

That wasn't us.

That was one of your own, sir.

Oh, you callin' me a liar, primo?

No, sir, I, that's not...

[Flanigan] You see this little vein right here?

I just gotta nick it just a little bit

and you're gonna bleed like it's fuckin' rainin'.

You will die.

I didn't mean to offend you.

I was just trying to, I have no problems...

(laughs) I'm just fuckin' with you.

Listen, you're the only one from that crew I respect.

But I'll tell ya this.

If I catch any of those other assholes,

especially that fuck Javier, it'll be a different story.

You tell your fuckin' boss to watch his fat ass.

I'm comin' for him.

Understand?

- All right? - Yes.

Good luck with the fight.

I got huge coin on you, kid.

Oh, one more thing.

I understand you've been spending some time with my niece.

If you disrespect her, I will cut you a new fuckin' smile.

Now get the fuck outta here.

(rain pattering)

You want half my blunt?

You know I can't smoke that, (speaking Spanish).

(speaking in Spanish)

I ran into Flanigan today.

(speaking in Spanish)

On my run.

Shit.

He do nothin' to you?

No.

He told me Erin's his niece.

The fuck?

He said he's comin' after Don Felipe

and to leave Erin alone.

Erin is his niece?

Why are you takin' it so calm?

I'm gonna talk to Erin, don't worry about that.

He said he's coming after you, too.

Fuck him.

Let him.

I'm ready.

(somber ambient music)

Hey.

[Rafael] Hey.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Why haven't you been answering my calls?

I'm sorry, I've had a lot on my mind lately.

Okay, so did the last month just, like, not happen?

Did it mean nothing to you?

Is there something wrong with me?

No, no, no, not at all.

It's just, I just can't do this right now.

I'm not gonna give up that easily.

You don't drink?

No, no, too early for me?

(speaking in Spanish)

It's never too early for a drink.

Actually, it works better than coffee.

Thanks.

How's the training going?

It's good.

This ain't 50K.

Half now, half after you win the fight.

That wasn't part of the deal.

Change of plans.

I give you everything now

you won't have no motivation to win the fight.

It's for your own good.

Okay.

[Don Felipe] By the way, how's Mario doing?

He's good. You know him?

Know him? (scoffs)

That was my boy back in the days.

[Rafael] He never mentioned it.

See, he probably forgot.

Send him my regards.

(upbeat electronic music)

(rapping in Spanish)

Two, two over here.

(punches thudding)

Boom. Let's go.

All right, that's it.

I want you to focus when...

(speaking in Spanish)

Looking fuckin' good!

(speaking in Spanish)

Hello, old friend. (chuckles)

It's been a long time.

Yeah, if it was up to me it would be a lot longer.

[Don Felipe] Hey, happy to see you, too.

[Mario] Rafael, I'll see you later.

It's good seeing you, too!

Listen, why don't you stop by the basement tonight.

I got a little somethin' goin' on.

Okay.

[Don Felipe] I'll see you then.

(knocking at the door)

[Mario] Yeah?

Can I talk to you?

Okay.

Is this about that cabron?

Yeah, it is.

Me, Felipe, and Carlos, we were like a family.

We did everything together.

We smoked weed, cut classes.

We even dated from the same group of friends.

So what happened?

One day me and Felipe, we just hangin' out,

and then all of a sudden the cops came from outta nowhere.

You know, so they searched Felipe, go in his pockets,

they found nothing.

Then they searched my pockets?

They find a bag of perico.

I never used or sold that shit.

But Felipe, he did.

He set me up.

[Rafael] Damn.

I did two years in jail for that shit.

Two years for somethin' I didn't do.

I was 18 years old.

18, man.

It took me years, man, to recover from that.

Did he ever tell you why he did it?

Who, Felipe?

He denied everything, man.

He's always, "No, the cops set you up.

"The cops set you up."

But I know it was him.

I wish I would've known.

That doesn't matter now, man.

What matters is you go up there and you win that fight.

[Sonia] Hey, papi.

What the hell are you doin' here?

I came to surprise you.

You did, now get the hell out.

Come on, it's been a while.

(speaking in Spanish)

I know you wanna be with me and not that girl

- you been seein'. - Sonia, stop.

Sonia, stop!

We could be that couple like the good old days.

You used to go boxing and stuff.

- Remember? - So that's

what this is about, huh?

I don't know what you're talkin' about, baby.

Get the hell outta here!

Leave, now!

Hope Marquez kills you, (speaking in Spanish).

[Javier] I'm fuckin' proud of you, bro.

[Rafael] Why?

Why?

'Cause you're a brave motherfucker.

Yo, stop rubbin' his balls, man.

- (Rafael laughs) - Yo, fuck you, motherfucker.

Let him live.

Cool, man, there's a lot of people here.

Don't get embarrassed.

- You can tell the press. - Yeah, I ain't no fruit.

Now, for real, man.

Yo, you know how many, I got like 10 bucks on him.

What, you givin' him charity?

- Wow, thank you. - Get outta here, yo.

Now I feel a lot better, thank you.

- Appreciate that. - Yeah, man.

He about to make this real money right now.

Yeah, yeah, he's gonna make the money.

He's gonna make the money.

Hope so.

Shoulda seen him, Camilla.

He looked really fucking good.

(speaking in Spanish)

How many rounds you think he's gonna last

against Marquez?

I say seven.

Rafael wins in seven with a knockout.

(speaking in Spanish)

I mean, you said Marquez was gonna kill him.

I changed my mind.

Actually, I'm putting a hundred grand on it.

(speaking in Spanish)

No, mami.

I know a winner when I see one.

Bueno, you're loss.

I've got Marquez winning in three

and I'm being very generous.

There's no way he's gonna win against Marquez

after all that time off.

I don't care how good he looks in spar.

Dad have a little crush on Rafael.

Stay outta this, Chino.

That's the reason, right?

That's the reason?

"Chino, stay out of this."

"Chino, pay off the dirty cop."

"Chino, get the money from half of the city."

What the fuck, Dad?

You treat me like I'm a slave.

I'm your fuckin' son.

And I'm your father and I demand respect.

Do not disrespect me in front of my guests.

First round, the motherfucker goes down.

(chuckles) I hope.

15 seconds, pow!

Boy, you gon' knock this boy right down, watch that.

That's a big boy, man, I don't know.

- He ain't shit. - Naw, man.

I got confidence in you, bro.

I tell his mama he ain't shit.

Why you look at me, huh?

Nothin', man.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

(speaking in Spanish)

Don't touch me.

- Don't touch me. - Chino, be easy, man.

- Chino, just chill out. - Chino, why you

makin' trouble, brother?

[Chino] I'm not talking to you,

(speaking in Spanish), I'm talking

to my man Rafael.

What's the matter, bro?

- Hey, hey, hey. - Chino, everything's gonna be all good.

Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

Chino! Stop your nonsense.

Yo, Chino, relax.

Shit.

Woo, you all right, bro?

The fuck is wrong with him?

Everything's all right.

Everything's all right!

(clears throat) Sorry about that, Camilla.

As I was saying, I think we're gonna

have to put some more money on this boy.

(car beeps)

Listen, next time you pull an act up like that,

I'm gonna cut your balls off

and put 'em on your mother's grave.

I'm sorry, Dad.

This won't happen again.

Good.

Now let's get down to business.

As you know, the situation with Flanigan has gotten worse.

The time to act is now.

Do you want me to put one in his brain?

Nah, that's too easy.

Death is too good for that pendejo.

(speaking in Spanish)

We have to hit him where it really hurts.

(ominous music)

His brother.

(man grunting)

Hey listen, I'm really glad that guy worked out.

He did a great job.

What's his name, Greg?

- Action Construction? - Greg, yeah.

He's a friend of my brother's.

I didn't even know.

- (phone rings) - Well, he's good.

I wanna use him again, Johnny.

I wanna put him on that shit hole

- we got... - Hello?

See what he can do with that.

What? Who?

(stammers) Hang on a minute, he's right here, hang on.

You gotta take this.

This is Flanigan.

Well who's this?

What?

Listen to me, you cocksucker.

If you touch a hair...

They grabbed Charlie.

They fuckin' grabbed Charlie.

Listen to me, Johnny, you find that piece of shit

and you bring him to me.

You bring him to me now.

- Do you understand me? - I got it, I got it.

[Flanigan] Now!

[Rafael] You know Daddy's gotta go fight now, right?

[Ellie] Are you gonna get hurt?

No, no, no.

Sometimes we have to do things

for the people that we love.

You know I love you, right?

I love you, too.

(Rafael chuckles)

(somber music)

For the first few rounds,

I just want you to get a feeling for the fight, all right?

Stick and move, stick and move.

Don't let him get you into the corner, all right?

We know that's his strongest suit.

You still think I'm crazy for takin' this fight?

This ain't the time for second thoughts.

And I don't think you're crazy.

You made a lot of strides over the past two weeks.

I think you're ready.

This is the first time I'm fighting

without my dad by my side.

I know, I know.

If your father was here right now,

he would be very proud of you.

You understand, you're doing what he wanted you to do.

You're living his dream.

You ready to go kick some ass?

Let's do it.

(suspenseful music)

(speaking in Spanish)

(crowd cheers)

Let's do this, okay?

Baby, you got this, okay?

In this corner, from Brooklyn, New York,

Jason "The Brick House" Marquez.

(crowd cheers)

And in this corner, his challenger,

from the LES, Rafael "El Gallo" Diaz!

(crowd booing)

Gentlemen.

(suspenseful music)

Okay, ninos, fight clean.

No biting, no (speaking Spanish).

Stay protected at all times.

Touch gloves.

(gloves thud)

Good luck.

(crowd chattering)

You got this.

[Referee] You ready?

You ready?

Fight! (bell dings)

(punches thudding)

[Mario] Stick and move!

(punches thudding) (crowd chattering)

[Referee] One.

Two.

[Mario] Rafael!

[Referee] Three.

Four.

Five.

- Focus! - Six.

- Focus! - Seven.

Eight.

You all right?

Let's go, box.

(suspenseful music)

(punch thuds) (crowd cheers)

[Erin] Come on, baby, give it back.

Give it back!

(punches thudding)

Break it up!

Box.

(punches thudding) (crowd chattering)

[Erin] Come on, baby, go, go!

(punches thudding)

(bell dings)

Remember what we talked about?

Okay?

From the beginning, man, I told you to do that.

Don't let him get you in the corner, okay?

Stick and move.

He always drops his right hand

when he throws a jab, okay?

Look for that, all right?

Let's go.

Give it to him!

(bell dings)

(suspenseful music)

[Rafael] Now pay attention.

(punches thudding)

It wasn't just about the money.

It was about making the people in my life proud

and punishing those who hurt my family.

[Javier] Hm? (chuckles)

Fuck me.

(crowd chattering)

[Rafael] I knew Don Felipe wasn't going to pay me,

so I had to bet on myself and cut a deal.

[Erin] $25,000 on El Gallo.

After this I'm out.

You have my word.

[Rafael] Now all I had to do was win.

[Mario] This is your time, Rafael.

This is why I came back.

(punches thudding)

(Marquez thuds onto mat)

(crowd cheering)

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

10. That's it.

It's over.

Winner, El Gallo!

(bell dinging) (crowd cheering)

(crowd chattering)

[Rafael] My dad once told me words have no power

unless you back them up with actions.

This win is for you, Papi.

I did it.

Although you weren't here in person,

you were here in spirit.

I love you, Papi.

[Crowd] El Gallo!

El Gallo!

El Gallo!

El Gallo!

El Gallo!

El Gallo!

El Gallo!
