So the interview with
the "Financial Times"

to walk through your
small business incentives

is set.
Great.

And there's a fantastic piece
in "The Washington Post"

about your proposed
infrastructure plan.

Mm.
It's so good.

I read it this morning when
I was in line for bagels.

- Aw, thank you, buddy.
- You're always so thoughtful.

- I love that about you.
- Aw.

Yes, it's always great
having you filming.

No one's eating carbs right now,

but thank you for the bagels.

You're welcome.

All right, Sandy, great job.

- Oh, one last thing.
- Yeah?

A local news station
in St. Paul, Minnesota,

interviewed a man last night

who said he went
to school with you.

- Mm-hmm.
- It's probably nothing,

but I'm putting it on your radar

because he said that
you tried to kill him.

- Yeah.
- What?

- That's what he said.

- I know.
- All right.

Well, look, there's
a lot of people

out there with very rich
imaginations, right?

- So...
- Yes.

Uh, let's go feed the
horses some bagel.

- Just me and you, Randall.
- Oh.

- Awesome.
- All right.

Thank you, Sandy.

- Great job.
- No Sandy.

Gonna give Cinnamon a cinnamon.

Is there a horse
named Everything?

That would be for this one.

You know, I have to say,

the way you dealt with
that odd bit of news

was very presidential.

You didn't seem
thrown by it at all.

No, I mean, what kind
of leader would I be

if I panicked anytime
something unexpected happened?

Yeah, you do seem
very comfortable

rolling with the punches.

Well, that's 'cause I've
been punched a lot in life.

But, you know, whatever happens,

you just deal with
it and you move on.

Like I did when I didn't
get cast as Batman

- and quit acting.
- Sure.

Or like me when I
didn't get drafted

by the NFL and I had
to go up to Calgary

to play in the Canadian
Football League.

That's right, you got a
call from the Stampeders.

Right, the Stampeders.

My goal was to go up to
Calgary and ball out,

and then sign with an
NFL team from there.

By the way, meet Jeff Goldblum.

- Named after my dear friend,

Emily Blunt.

Uh... hey, Jeff.

- Here you go.
- Jeff loves cinnamon.

And, you know, back
then, just like now,

my priority was
always to provide

a better life for my family.

At this point,

my dad's wrestling
career had ended

and he was working as a
driver for Circuit City.

He was supposed to transport
damaged electronics

from the stores to
the repair warehouse,

but sometimes, he would
take a little detour.

You Josh?

I got three camcorders
with cracked screens.

Got a LaserDisc player,

but the remote
needs to be fixed.

And two TVs with broken volume.

My dad being my dad,

he had a side hustle
going where he would sell

the slightly broken
electronics to people,

then pay a guy to
have it "disappear"

from the inventory.

Meanwhile, my mom
was still working

selling vacation packages,

but spent all of her
time thinking about me.

A carton of guava
juice, can of Lysol,

a whole pineapple, Corona
bottle filled with sand,

wrestling magazines, socks,
a bottle of ranch dressing,

Nacho Cheese Doritos,

a Tupperware of my keke pua'a,

and 16 individually wrapped,
loose Werther's Originals

sprinkled across the top.

Sounds good.

You're gonna need
more tape than that.

This is going international.

My son's playing in the
Canadian NFL league.

CFL is the term she
was looking for.

And I wasn't really playing.

More tape than that, please.

Oh, here. I'll do it.

I didn't make it on
the Stampeders' roster.

I was on their practice squad,

which paid next to
nothing in loonies.

- And go!
- It was basically my job

to get the starters
ready for game day,

and man, I was struggling.

- Johnson!

What the hell are you doing?

He's a starter. You
can't go full-out!

- What do you mean?
- You're practice squad.

You're not supposed
to knock them down.

Everyone's gotta do their part.

Even my son

who sucks.

Heads-up, Eugene.

- Let's go again!

Hey.

Only 65%?

- Hm.
- 65% of me as an actor

is Chris .

Well, 65% of me as an
actor is Chris .

So many 65% Chrises.

Anyway, I knew if I didn't
figure things out quick,

I was gonna get finger-pinched.

- Finger-pinched?
- Yeah, that's how they cut you

from the team.

It's very Canadian.

Hey, Carl.

Get your playbook, please.

Aw, shoot, Jim.

- We'll miss you, Carl.
- Good luck, Carl.

I was completely off my game

and didn't wanna
go down like Carl.

Luckily, I could call
my girlfriend, Dany,

back in Miami, and
we could talk it out.

- They pinch you?
- Yeah.

And it's not like a
regular pinch either.

It's like a two-knuckle
finger scissor.

That is weird.

You really described
it perfectly.

You've given this a
lot of thought, huh?

It's all I can think about.

It's like it's coming for me,
like death or the Candyman.

The what?

- The Candyman.
- I didn't hear you.

The Ca...

- Nice try.

Hey, for four seconds,

you didn't think about
how weird it is there.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, um, I'm sorry
I haven't been able

to send back any money.

Practice squad pays
almost nothing.

- Don't worry about me.
- I'm doing fine.

You have crushing
student loan debt

and make 18 grand a year.

I like to think I
make 18 large a year.

It sounds larger.

You just focus on doing
what you need to do

- to make the team.
- Yeah.

- I'll give my best 65%.

While Dany helped
me off the field,

I was about to get
some help on it.

- Studying the playbook.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm trying
to learn the plays

from all the angles.

Oh, yeah?

I'm working on it.

Hey.

Nice Furekkusu, by the way.

Yeah. I love it.

My dad taught me
when I was a kid.

I actually spent a day
fishing with André the Giant.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah?

No.

Are you familiar
with Circuit City?

Well, we got a program going on

that can get you some
slightly damaged goods

at a crazy discount.

Made in Japan.

Sold in my van.

He's in sales.

Yeah?

Great.

Little did I know,

that fishing trip
would change my life.

'Cause you caught the
biggest fish you ever saw

and none of your
friends believe you

even though you had pictures?

.

Oh, my God, do you
know what you're doing?

Yes, I know what I'm doing.

- Can you hurry up, please?
- What's going on?

The O.J. trial went squiggly.

Just give me a second.

I thought you said

that antenna was
top-of-the-line.

I said it wastop-of-the-line.

- Before it fell out a window.

- Well, it's on every channel.
- Just try a different one.

But this is the coverage I like.

I need your help, Peter.

Rocky has broken the
signal, High Chief.

Hey! Don't tell him that.

What the hell?

Yes.

The vehicle will remain
in police custody.

- Thank you, Peter.
- Now please protect O.J.

Why is Dewey's package here?

The mailman returned it.

Well, since when can't
you send liquids?

I mailed liquids to you
when you were in Samoa.

Those packages
never got returned.

I never got any
packages in Samoa.

That's why I iced you out

on the way home
from the airport.

Fishing with Kenny

was exactly what I needed
to get out of my head.

Oh, wow.

Hey, uh...

This is great.

- The Furekkusu?
- Yeah.

Go for it.

I've never worked with
anything this nice.

So.

What was it like?

Fishing with André the Giant?

Oh.

Unbelievable.

Every time he caught a fish,

he would give it a little kiss,
toss it back in the water,

and say, "I release you."

I always imagined how crazy
that must've been for the fish.

You ever think about getting
into wrestling yourself?

Almost every day of my
life growing up as a kid.

But I wanted to
provide for my family.

I found football and...

I'm stuck.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe I did that.

- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.

I know how much this costs.

This

it's just a thing.

Look, I don't have enough money

to buy you another
one, but I promise you,

I'm gonna pay you back.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

There are way more
important things in life.

It's just a thing.

It's all right. Don't worry.

It's just a thing.

When I heard Kenny say that,
it was so freeing for me

because I was putting all
this pressure on myself

to be the guy who had
to send money home

to his girlfriend.

Uh, buy his parents
their first-ever home.

- It was all getting in my head.
- Hm.

- When...

Those are all just things, man.

You know, it's so good
to hear you say that,

because when you went
to the bathroom...

I broke your mug.

- My daughter made me that.
- I'll fix it.

Now that Kenny had
changed my perspective,

I was able to settle in

and do my part to help the team.

I was still on the
practice squad,

but the coaches gave
me more opportunities

to ball out with the starters.

Run the drill! Run the drill!

- Nice, Walker.

Attaboy, Johnson.
That's what we need!

I still completely
sucked at sign language,

but it finally felt like
I was finding my groove.

And once I relaxed on the field,

I was able to get
creative off of it.

Like taking full
advantage of the free food

at the first-team meetings.

What are you doing
here, practice squad?

This meeting's for
first-team only.

Oh. Okay, sorry.

Mm, for sure.

Right.

Maybe next week, fellas.

Okay, first order of business

no more Natalie Merchant

in the locker
room.

Players also got free tickets

for every game.

Six great seats.

Family and friends section.

I don't have either
of those things.

Hovering around the starters

let me enjoy some of the perks.

Player of the week, Garcia.

Good for one free pair
of custom cowboy boots.

Cowboy boots?

I'll take it if
you don't want it.

Cowboy boots and
whiskey remind me

of my time in Nashville.

Yeah, go for it.

I don't have whiskey,

but here's a keychain
from the zoo.

Oh, thanks, man.

Oh, coupon for Indoor Sun Salon.

Hank, this one's yours.

Shoot.

This is au naturel.

Okay.

Yeah, it's going all right, Mom.

I'm getting some good
feedback from the coaches.

I'm so glad to hear that, Dewey.

That makes me happy.

Just ask him what
you wanna ask him.

Look, I didn't hear from you,
so I just wanted to make sure

you got the care
package that I sent.

No, sorry, Mom. I haven't.

- Well, I sent it days ago.
- Where is it?

- I'm telling you, it's great.

Wait, who's Julie Newmar?

The actress who
signed the photograph.

Then who's Wong Foo?

That's who the photograph
was autographed to.

I don't think I'm
gonna see this movie.

I'm getting to the
bottom of this.

Mom, it's okay.

I have everything I need.

Tell Dewey Marcia
Clark changed her hair.

They're ready for it.

Uh, gotta go, Mom. I love you.

I love you too, honey. Bye.

Hey, where you guys headed?

It's moules-frites night
at the Grande Provence.

LGP. All: LGP! LGP!

- You wanna come with?
- Sure.

I think I got a coupon for
that place from Flutie...

.

Take a seat, son.

Dwayne, getting cut
has nothing to do

with your effort or
how much we like you.

Coach, I feel like I was
finally getting the hang of it.

Can't you find some
way to keep me on?

Believe me, son, I
would if I could.

But we just signed
some new guys,

and our O-line is solid now,

thanks to the reps
they got with you.

Heck, it's because you
did your job so well

that we don't need you anymore.

Kind of makes you
think there's no God.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Listen to me.

I don't want you
getting discouraged.

You got great work ethic
and that's gonna pay off

for you one day, I
promise you that.

In the meantime, if
a space opens up,

we'll give you a call
and get you back up here.

Me and the boys, we,
uh... We put together

this departing gift bag for you.

You might not be with us,

but we'll always be with you.

There's a Koosh ball in there.

There it is.

- Talk about a punch to the gut.

Well, when I got put
on the practice squad,

there was part of me that knew

things might turn out like this,

so I was already thinking
about what I could do next.

Is that when you knew you
were gonna get into wrestling?

What I knew was nobody
was gonna pay me

- to play football anymore.
- Mm.

So I was on a plane,
headed to my family,

to go home to tell
them that I failed

at the one thing that I had
dedicated years of my life to.

I was grasping at straws,

considering all
the possibilities.

And, in a way, so was my mom.

Yeah, it's... you
just gotta let it dry.

- You know?
- Sure.

Aw, shoot.

You can't just
confiscate that box.

My son needs his snacks.

He's an American in Canada.

He doesn't know what
to eat up there.

You packed a bottle
of ranch dressing.

He can buy that at every
single supermarket in Canada.

Well, I don't know
what you sell.

Okay, just take out
the ranch dressing.

The rest has to get to him.

Ma'am, as I've said,

you can't send liquids
across international...

Do you have a mother?

What?

Sorry, what?

Do you have a mother?

Uh, ye... yes.

Well, think about
how she would feel

if she was thousands
of miles away

and couldn't afford to visit.

She would wanna let you know
she was thinking of you,

any way she could.

She would wanna
feel close to you,

even though you were
very far from home.

And if she couldn't hug
you, the least she could do

is send you some sand
from your favorite beach

in a bottle of
your favorite beer.

My mother was declared
unfit when I was 12

and my brother and I were
placed in a guardianship.

But I understand your point.

Let me see what I can do.

Thank you.

Sorry about your mother, though.

While my mom was dealing

with the Canadian
postal service,

I landed back in Miami, I
went straight to Dany's,

and we talked
through everything.

I'm so sorry.

I know how hard you worked.

It's just so crazy.

Like, is this it?

Am I done playing football?

Not necessarily, all right?

Another team could
call you at any minute.

But I don't wanna
just sit by the phone

waiting for a call
that might never come.

I'm tired of waiting
for other people

to decide what happens to me.

So what do you wanna do?

Maybe I should give
wrestling a try.

See if I'm any good at that.

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe.

- For right now, though...
- Mm-hmm.

I was thinking of
calling my buddy Clint

and getting a job with
him painting houses.

Why?

I might not be able to
buy my family a house

or pay your loans, but
I wanna contribute.

I appreciate you
wanting to help,

but I know there's so much
more you want to accomplish.

You're meant for
bigger things, Dwayne.

And if it's wrestling,
then let it be wrestling.

Yeah, but that's
years again, Dany,

where I'll make no money and
no guarantee I ever will.

I wasn't saying
it's gonna be easy.

But big dreams aren't easy.

Go after more.

Don't put the "more" on hold.

Believe it or not, Randall,
that was the first time

I ever told anyone close to me

that I wanted to
pursue wrestling.

Hm, and when you finally
said it out loud,

it became a reality.

Nope. As a matter of fact,

it would take me months
before I would say it again.

Hm.

See? As good as new, right?

No, no, no. It's broken.

You can tell it's broken.

.

- Oh.

If I ever go back to court,

I want Judge Ito on the bench.

I think he would
be attracted to me.

Be very lenient.

But I won't return his
affections, High Chief.

Hello?

Dad, I need you to come get me.

From Canada?

Miami.

I got cut from the team.

What?

Ay, did you know Dewey got cut?

- What?
- He's in Miami.

What?

I'm outside a Publix in Kendall.

I need you to come get me.

I'm leaving right now.

- What happened?
- I don't know.

Is he okay?

Did he get hurt?

Did he say if he got
the care package?

These meat donuts are killer.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

My dad drove four hours
straight from Tampa

that night to get me,
no questions asked,

then turned right around
and we headed right back.

I told him a version
of what happened.

I kind of worked my
own gimmick with him.

It was a numbers thing.

They can only have so many
Americans on the team,

so even though they really
liked what I was doing,

they had to let me go.

Everybody looks
out for they own.

And Canada's no different.

It's like what Bruno used to say

his mom would always say.

Both: Sometimes, it
just be's that way.

We drove for a while like that,

just listening to music.

I was thinking about
what I'd said to Dany

about wrestling, but I
definitely wasn't ready

to say it to anyone else.

I knew if I told my family,
it would make it real.

Yeah, you know they call
this stretch of the highway.

"Alligator Alley"?

Yeah, apparently
gators get on the road

and them suckers don't budge.

Oh, your Uncle Sika,

he used to say they would
crawl into the sewer system.

Can you imagine that?

Finding one of them
gators down there?

Hey, what's that movie

with the, uh...
the gutter clown?

Get the kids, snatch
'em into the sewer?

Scared the crap out your mama.

Oh, looks like we low on fuel.

- How much cash you got?

Five, six, seven.

Eight bucks.

I got seven bucks.

What are you doing?

It's good money.

You said there's
alligators out there.

I've fought worse for less.

Dad.

It's just a thing.

Yeah, a thing we use
to buy other things.

The hell did you
learn in Canada?

"It's just a thing."

- Oh, my God.

So that was your
Seven Bucks drive?

It was.

'Cause he never
found that dollar.

Well, you've talked
about that moment before.

Yes, after I dedicated
my life to football,

the only thing I had to
show for it was seven bucks.

That was a low point.

Yeah, but you took that,

made it the name
of your company,

and built it into
a global brand.

It makes for a hell
of a story now,

knowing how
everything turned out.

But, man, that was a rough time.

Mm. So what'd you do?

Well, the only thing
that I could do.

I had to keep going.

And so Dany was in Miami

and she was working, like,
60 hours a week, and...

I made my way back to Tampa.

And I was still
trying to figure out

what my next move was
in terms of wrestling.

But I wasn't ready to
tell anyone in my family

what my plans were.

Until one day, I get a call
from my coach up in Canada.

Sorry, sir, but there's
something timely.

Can we get a guard or
a set dog or something

to keep these random people

from walking into
my interview zone?

So that interview
we told you about,

- the man from Minnesota?
- Mm-hmm.

It's been posted on some
fringe social media sites,

and we think it should
be on your radar.

- All right.
- So you went

to elementary school with
presidential candidate.

- Dwayne Johnson?
- Yes, I did.

Back in Hawaii.

I had just moved there... new
kid from St. Paul, Minnesota.

I could tell right away
that he was full of it.

I mean, a lot of things
just didn't add up.

So I questioned him on it.

And yeah, he tried to kill me.

Oh, .

I know who this is.
