[cheering]

[clapping]

Hey, hey...

This is fucking war, this is war now. From now until Vegas this is war.

And these battles, we need to win the battle tonight...

OK? Enjoy this battle. I wish I could battle with you out there.

But I'm living through you. Win the battles...

And then we'll win the fuckin' war, all right?

- OK, yep. - You're my riding boys.

[inaudible talking]

- One, two, three! - [all yelling]

[whooping]

[Kate] It's the final game of the regular season

[guitar tune playing]

STATESVILLE NORTH CAROLINA

[horse trilling]

- [Eli] Whatcha think, Jake? - Uh, just livin'.

[Eli] Livin', L-I-V-I-N.

All right.

Being at home really just makes everything better for me.

Clearing my mind you know it... you know I've been gone so long

Um, gone my whole entire life not really ever even really having a home.

Ya know just kinda jumping from friend's house to friend's house.

Spare bedroom to couch, u,m and so

to be able to come home and come home to your own place and...

even if it is only for two days it's nice.

I've waited my entire life, this is why I ride bulls is to own a place like this.

I really ain't ride worth a shit all year.

[Jake] They've been putting you on some rank bulls though huh?

[Eli] I've been getting on some buckers but...

I dunno what my deal is, I gotta figure it out.

Go win me a bunch of money, come back, then we'll buy us a bunch of cows.

- [Jake] That's right, good working cow. - Yep work our own cows.

Not somebody else's.

It just sucks 'cause like, I've been trying so hard

Just being a first-round draft pick, being the guy that they spent the money on.

I don't know if this has got me overthinking or...

over trying, whatever it is.

Shoot, I've been working harder than I've worked all year.

Everything's feeling good, healthy.

I hope Chase is ready.

His little girl, she's diabetic and, um...

spent the last month in a hospital, he ain't been to the last two events

Not that bull riding ain't tough enough already now you gotta deal with that shit.

All right.

Chase is a huge part of this team.

And to not have him here is tough on all of us.

Just as a family member, not having him here.

You know you're... you're missing him.

GLENDALE ARIZONA

[Kate] The time is now! It's the final stop of the regular season

and that road to the first-ever PBR teams championship

runs right through Glendale, Arizona.

Stop number ten, this is it. You've gotta get a win to have a shot in Vegas.

[announcer 1] It's so hard for me to believe that this

is the final regular season stop,

but here we are, and the stakes are even higher than we could have imagined.

[Kate] Yeah, as we take a look at the road

to Vegas season standings.

All those games and it comes down

to this guys!

[announcer 2] When you look at those standings,

how fascinating is it that teams that

started out the season really hot

and have been at the top of the standings for a lot of the year

are kinda struggling to hold those places. 'Cause teams that struggled

in the beginning, are rolling now! How this weekend turns out, Flynn,

anybody's guess.

[cheering]

[Kate] Now if they secure that number-one spot

they get a buy, as we go into Las Vegas.

[Sean] The teams wanna win the individual season, the regular season

and have the best record.

One for the buy, which is really important, getting that first day

and knowing you're going onto day two.

But there's a lot of money on the line for the bull riders and the teams,

in bonuses at the end of the regular season.

So you gotta win the regular season...

and it positions you well for the team championships.

If you're able to win both the regular season

and the team championship, that team's gonna make

one and a half to two million dollars in the course of the season.

[rider] You know how good you are.

- Hey, dude! I'm badass. - How you doing sir?

SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS

So, like, when I'm just needing some good vibes,

I, like, watch good rides that I've made and kinda slow it down

and, you know, just remind myself that I know how to do it.

If I wanna win the MVP I gotta be the best.

I gotta be putting the work in, you know have the confidence level.

And then the other half is drawing good bulls to get on

and making every ride count.

I think studying, you know, having confidence in yourself is big and that's...

When I watch videos of myself, that's what I'm doing is just

boosting my confidence level and getting it back where it needs to be.

[Matt] I think for Carolina, there's a whole lot

of added pressure in their talent.

A lot of fans have them as the team to beat.

I think that comes with a little extra pressure and I don't know that

all of them are fully capable of dealing with that pressure

at this moment.

For Daylon to win the MVP he has to be absolutely perfect.

[cheering]

[Kate] For everyone watching live, Texas Rattlers they take on the number two

Carolina Cowboys.

What was your message to your team getting ready to start tonight,

with first place and those buys in the finals on the line still?

Well it is, you know we really gotta step up to the plate today, the guys

the guys they kinda put a drive into 'em.

I feel like they'll really step up tonight.

I feel good about our draw tonight and uh, I feel like we're gonna get it dones.

[announcer 1] Now Boudreaux Campbell, a 24 year-old on a bull called "Spice!"

[coach] Ride the middle Boudreaux

Come a-riding Boudreaux!

[announcer 1] Boudreaux Campbell! It is time to get things rolling for Boudreaux

and I think it happens tonight.

[Kate] He'll have some hot streaks but he's often dealt

some pretty tough bulls as well.

[coach] Ride the middle Boudreaux!

- [yelling] - [cheering]

[Kate] And yet another tough pull for Campbell.

He was trying to power to the whistle but ultimately

- comes down in four and ninety-four. - Fuck!

[announcer 2] He needs to, not only be more confident

but just calm down a little bit.

This bull-riding shit's fuckin' hard.

[announcer 2] He's having a tough go of it.

And here we go!

[cheering]

[whooping]

Absolutely perfect!

[buzzer blaring]

[Kate] Wow! What a ride for Randolf! Zoro now taking a victory lap!

[crowd cheers]

Texas leading with three qualified rides to two for the Cowboys.

Rafael José de Brito a chance to put his team another bull ahead.

[coach] Keep riding! Keep riding! Come on!

[buzzer blaring]

[Kate] Texas four up, four qualified rides!

[cheering]

Carolina with their final two rides. They have to cover both of their bulls.

[Boudreaux] Consistency kills in this game,

so this team has just gotta improve on being consistent

You ride four or five bulls every game they're not gonna beat you.

You know we've had a pretty rough couple weeks

and we're just ready to turn it around and have that momentum

- [announcer 1] Mason Taylor! - [fan] Let's go Mason! Ready on, Mason!

[announcer 1] Man feeling the pressure, with two riders left to go for Carolina.

[indistinct commands]

Got to get to the eight seconds!

Get up there, Mason.

[Kate] Oh!

God dang it!

[buzzer blaring]

[Kate] No team has ever gone five for five and now we've got Cody Jesus.

[announcer 1] Yeah, he can hear you right now!

Ladies and gentlemen take a look up there, no team has ever gone five for five!

Cody Jesus trying to do five for five!

- [Kate] Here we go! - [cheering]

[coach] Finish! Finish! Keep riding! Keep riding!

[buzzer blaring]

[Kate] Texas is the first team to ride all five bulls in a game!

[cheering and whooping]

[cheering]

Now for Daylon Swearingen

He's right behind Leme, just a couple bulls behind the MVP race that is over

at the end of this weekend. Someone is getting a $50,000 bonus,

and it's probably Leme or Swearingen.

[announcer 2] Well we know José's already put up numbers

so this is a must-ride situation for Swearingen.

Take a look, the PBR, MVP standings Daylon Swearingen

one ninety-one and a quarter behind José Vitor Leme!

A huge paycheck awaits the PBR, MVP winner!

[Jerome] Have a ride, champ!

Straight out, champ!

[announcer 1] Daylon Swearingen needs a perfect weekend!

Here he is!

[cheering]

[whooping]

Go! Yeah, yeah!

Stay in control! Stay in control! Stay in control!

- [buzzer blaring] - [Kate] Sending a message, Swearingen!

There's a reason he's your reigning world champ!

[announcer 1] And the reigning world champ...

Oh! Great move Daylon.

[fan] Good job Cowboy!

Woo! Watch out!

[Kate] Daylon's second in the MVP standings the race has never been tighter.

[cheering]

DECATUR TEXAS

[José] Hey.

How are you? Too good, thank God.

This is where we hangout and have good times, you know, ping pong.

For relaxing a little bit.

- [laughs] - Ah!

Five - three.

[laughing] Ah ha!

Those are the checks, some uh, special events.

All of them is special but uh

I got those two in the middle. It's the most special ones

because that's the world champions ones.

And uh, I like the sign too [laughs] "Nothing is impossible."

I believe in that.

The world finals event champion. That was my first check here so... uh...

That was a... lot of numbers on that check.

And all the other ones uh, from different places different uh, events.

But... They're all special.

[Kate] The MVP award comes with a $50,000 bonus to the best rider

at the end of the season. That means the guy who has ridden more bulls,

scored higher than any other individual in the league.

[mooing]

I would have to fall from three bulls,

and he would have to beat three bulls to take the lead.

He has a mathematical chance of doing that.

However, if it depends on me, it will not happen.

I will not make it easy for him.

I am going to work hard so that I can keep the advantage and be the champion.

[announcer 1] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to night number two!

At the PBR, Arizona ridge rider's day!

[cheering]

Would you please welcome the Kansas City Outlaws!

And here comes their opponents,

From deep in the heart of Texas, to push their chips all in again,

The fourth-ranked team in the league!

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Austin Gamblers!

[announcer 2] Get ready to stack those chips up and push em all in

if you're an Austin Gamblers fan.

[Kate] José Vitor Leme looks to lead his squad to yet another win.

The Gamblers are ready to let the dice roll.

[announcer 1] Lucas Divino.

- [yelling] - [cheering]

[coach] Get ready! Get ready! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah!

[announcer 2] Coach Michael Gaffney ecstatic

with the performance of Lucas Divino!

[Kate] Koltin Hevalow pulling the rope as Specalty goes down

and then continues to buck.

[announcer 1] Here we go!

And a quick buck-off.

[Kate] He knows he needs a ride when you've got

Leme and Mitchell in the wings.

- [coach] Come on! Come on! - [cheering]

[announcer 1] Nice!

Woo!

[announcer 2] The Austin Gamblers, Ezekiel Mitchell

All day, Ezekiel! All guts, all day! All guts Ezekiel Mitchell!

All guts.

Slide up easy, slide up easy. Keep that chin down and you battle for 20 seconds!

To hell with that ten you go for 20!

Chin down! Chin down! Atta boy! Chin down!

- Atta boy! Very good Ezekiel! Oh! - Oh!

[announcer 1] Ezekiel Mitchell got rocked!

And now to the boys from Kansas City! Here we go!

[coach] Come on! Keep riding! Keep riding! Keep riding!

[buzzer blaring]

[coach] Yeah, baby!

Yeah! That's what I like to see!

- Yeah! - [cheering]

[announcer 1] Oh Yeah! Kansas City with the lead.

[Kate] Leme is climbing over the chutes and he's aboard Chainsaw.

[announcer 2] You might expect this moment to get interesting.

Let's do it, little brother! All day little brother!

[announcer 2] The two-time world champ might be on the verge

of something spectacular.

[Kate] If he finds the whistle, he is the MVP of the PBR team season,

and earns that $50,000 bonus.

Atta boy! All day José! Enjoy yourself!

All day little brother.

Go to it!

[bull braying]

All day! All day! Get ready, get ready! Get ready! Yeah!

All day! All day! Yeah!

- [buzzer blaring] - [Kate] Leme leaves it all on the line

and it pays off!

He's the MVP!

He wins it!

- [cheering] - [clapping]

Right here in the desert, gets a final qualified ride that seals the deal!

You're looking at him, the two-time champ! José Vitor Leme

just won the first-ever PBR team series MVP race!

With making the whistle tonight, you have locked up the MVP award for PBR teams

for this year.

As the top rider in the inaugural season, congratulations.

Thank you so much. So happy another big win for me, for my career that...

That's going to be amazing. I'm just so happy to help my team.

[announcer 2] Congratulations, José Vitor Leme!

The Austin Gamblers win tonight

And uh, are fighting for first place, on the final day on Sunday!

[Jerome] You know Daylon had a good shot to win the MVP

and he only lost it by a couple bulls.

You know? But it was... it was a tough deal.

José Leme is... he's a machine.

But at the end of the day Daylon Swearingen's tough,

and he's gritty tough.

And he'll take a gut punch and still come back the next night.

[Daylon] Yeah, I mean the MVP race, I think it come down to two rides.

And... it was definitely something I wanted to win.

There's spots where I messed up, where I shouldn't have and...

I didn't ride to my fullest potential.

And I let some bull slip up that I probably shouldn't have.

That was just on me.

But I had to quit looking at it as an individual sport...

I just wanted whatever the team had to do, to be the best.

We're just gonna keep moving forward.

So now our comeback at the finals is gonna be even better.

[announcer 1] Game number two!

We start with the eighth-ranked team rollin' in fast and hot

to make their stand! Got a win last night,

They represent music city! With toughness, grit, and determination!

Please welcome the Nashville stampede!

Their opponents, from the "Sooner State!"

They roll in to take on Nashville!

The number-one-ranked team in the league!

The Oklahoma Freedom!

[Kate] Oklahoma riders, without Chase Outlaw this weekend,

competing with heavy hearts. Thoughts...

Prayers are with Chase's family and thinking of Cash.

And it all starts with their number one pick in Eli Vastbinder

to really set the tone, and set the pace to do that.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep! Whaddaya think? Whaddaya think?

Yip, yip! Get ahead, get ahead!

[cheering]

[buzzer blaring]

[Kate] All the moves from Dr. Cool and it doesn't matter! Easy,

for Eli Vastbinder! Oklahoma is on the board!

That's what I'm talking about! Yeah!

[announcer 1] Lay down, backflip, it doesn't matter what the bull's

gonna do, Eli's gonna hang on, ride through it!

[announcer 2] It is going to be a battle from start to finish!

[cheering]

[buzzer blaring]

[announcer 2] We got a race.

[buzzer blaring]

[Kate] Pollmeier! Perfection once again!

Oh, Matt's in!

- What!? - [buzzer blaring]

Oklahoma takes a loss.

[announcer 2] This is gonna be a heartbreaker.

We're seeing a celebration here. Yeah, that's huge for the stampede and

and again everything that we've talked about,

the scenarios, the situations, but when you keep it back in terms...

[Brandon] That's the life, and it's a tough life.

It was in the middle of game two, um, Chase texts

and said that Cash is an angel.

They uh, they...they took her off of life support, um...

From what I understand and she passed away.

Think it's just pure shock right now, more than anything.

[heavy sigh]

You guys are family to me, you know?

Go ahead, Cody.

[announcer 1] Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is truly with a heavy heart tonight.

to announce that the PBR has lost one of its members of our family.

Cash Lee Outlaw passed away.

She was the daughter of Chase Outlaw.

Tonight ladies and gentlemen our thoughts and our prayers...

Are with Chase Outlaw and his family.

Cash Lee Outlaw was 11 years old.

It was tough I hated it, hated that happened and uh,

and it's been tough on a lot of people and um...

it's sure... sure a hard... hard pill to swallow.

I mean you could just feel that whole arena it just wasn't the same.

Ya know just everybody's heart went out to Chase and you really realize what

a close-knit group of people the PBR really is

when something like that happens.

[Eli] Bull riding is my life, and ya know...

I get so wrapped up in winning and doing good and winning money and

whatever it is and those moments it makes you realize that...

None of that shit matters, not one lick.

Just being a dad I can't imagine what he's going through or what he's thinking about.

This whole Cash deal has just... made me open my eyes

to how small bull riding really is.

LENOIR, NORTH CAROLINA

[grunting]

Run me over why don't ya?

[chuckling]

- [Ezekiel] Whoa, whoa! Oh! - [Jesse] Get to work!

- Good job! - I told you "Whoa!"

- Go ahead. - You said "Whoa" as it fell.

I was tellin' you "Whoa" before it fell.

God dang that was almost my toes woman.

- That's why you gotta put it down first! - All right you're good now, it's good.

- Go. - Success!

You're the one who barely lifted it on there and you said "Whoa" as it fell.

- No I told you "Whoa" before you hit it. - How am I supposed...

- Whatever, at least I can drive a tractor - I said "Whoa"... I said...

- You come do it then. - I will.

- Come on. [laughs] - You got it.

That's what I thought.

[Ezekiel] Losing Ouncie was... was tough...

And it still is uh, something that I guess gets easier with time.

Uh, they say time heals everything. I don't think time heals everything.

Just slowly starts to get a little easier.

Thank you.

- I'm comin' through there. - Appreciate it.

- I don't wanna run you over. - Thank you.

[Ezekiel] I just try to, ya know, do my job.

My goal was still to be a world champion.

My goal is still to help the Austin Gamblers win a world championship.

And I know for dang sure if it was him in the same position

he wouldn't give up so that's the same thing I'm doing

so now we're here we're just gonna keep rollin'.

For the most part Jesse, she's the workhorse,

outta the both of us honestly.

Throughout the day we stay pretty busy. She has people that board horses here.

We have our own personal horses here and we're constantly moving around.

[Jesse] She's got an attitude problem when you actually make her work.

Good girl.

Think she gotta poop.

[Ezekiel] I don't care.

[both laugh]

Usually the afternoons we try to get to do some riding.

Do the fun part of owning horses. But uh, it's a pretty good life.

[Jesse] Why don't ya come ride her? Get a feel for her.

- Nah that's your horse. - It's your horse, you bought her.

- You ain't been on her yet. - Yeah.

The only thing I need that horse to do is produce me dollar signs.

[Jesse] Well, none of 'em do that, babe.

We're in the wrong business for dollar signs.

[chuckling]

Bulls bring dollar signs, horses bring negatives.

[Ezekiel] Bulls don't bring no dollar signs, what's wrong with you lady?

Not owning 'em, riding 'em.

[Ezekiel] Oh yeah, that does.

That's what I meant, I don't wanna own 'em.

I want buckin' horses.

[Ezekiel] I don't want buckin' horses no more, neither.

I want a field of buckin' horses so I can go drink coffee on a porch and watch 'em.

[Ezekiel] My vision outside of bull riding is just

to transform and inspire and change lives.

And to be able to do what I'm doing now,

without having to ride bulls anymore in the future.

Uh, I want to be able to set something up to where

I can be successful after this and I just wanna hang out with my horses and Jesse.

- [clapping] - [cheering]

[Kate] Austin Gamblers, Arizona Ridge Riders.

The final game of the regular season.

[Ezekiel] The final game of the regular season.

We're either getting the buy going in first,

or we're losing and coming in fourth or fifth.

[bull roaring]

[announcer 1] So far no team has been able to strike.

All right little brother. Keep moving little brother! There ya go!

Enjoy yourself.

[Kate] It goes to Leme, he's aboard Dagger here.

[announcer 2] And let me just tell you,

you can feel the tension down here in the bucking chutes!

It's thick!

Anything that stresses out a lil' longer. Anything that'll prolong our stress then.

[announcer 1] José Vitor Leme!

And this bull's leaning on him bad inside of that bucking chute.

But Austin looking to seal the deal, the W, get the buy and clench it!

[coach] Ride little brother, ride! Do it little brother!

Enjoy yourself José!

Aww! How is this gonna end? Leme's lined up!

Call the corner!

Atta boy! Get ready! Get ready! Get ready! Get ready!

Yeah! Atta boy! Get ready!

[buzzer blaring]

[cheering]

[announcer 1] And Leme!

[Kate] He sails to the whistle once again

and there was celebration on the Austin side.

- [announcer 2] But wait a minute. - But! Now you're hearing the challenge.

- No? - [announcer 1] Arizona, challenging this.

Yeah, so it is under review.

[announcer 1] Yeah, wait a minute, it could get dramatic here.

[annoucner 2] And another look back at it. Back there, right there.

[Kate] So, there it is. Being called for a slap at seven and forty-five.

[announcer 2] And ladies and gentlemen, it's a no-score!

Oh!

- [Kate] It says it all. - We've seen that one time this season.

- [Kate] Yes. - [announcer 2] Frustration.

[announcer 1] José, not happy.

That's home-field advantage shit right there.

It is.

[announcer 2] Are you ready!?

[cheering]

[buzzer blaring]

[Kate] You can hear it! You can feel it!

Aparecido aces that one, easy! Right here in Arizona!

Well, Ridge Riders, they don't have any outs remaining

But the Austin Gamblers it's going to come down to Ezekiel Mitchell

with their last up.

All right we're gonna change the pace, yeah?

We're gonna change this shit.

You know what he's doing so keep control of that free-arm and shit

and keep your chin down.

Be ready for whatever yeah? Jump for jump.

Atta boy.

Cowboy stuff Ezekiel Mitchell. Ten seconds, you hear me?

We're going home happy today.

Let's do this! You keep that chin down!

Just like that. You flow with this bull.

Only if you're strong and get off your ass.

Off your ass, the whole time.

[Ezekiel] Everybody thinking I can always stay on

whenever I'm the first spot.

Well, I have not rode a bull outside of the first spot in the lineup.

Ever, the whole season.

I have to do something to prove a point.

[announcer 1] Guys, I got goosebumps,

the hair on the back of my neck is standing up.

[announcer 2] It's down to one!

Ezekiel ten seconds. Bury that chin and keep that elbow down!

- Here we go! - [cheering]

[Kate] Get's past that first move!

[indistinct shouting]

[Kate] The gamblers are gonna love this

and Zeke seems to make all the right moves!

My goodness, Austin wins it!

[cheering]

Are you serious!? [laughs]

[Kate] Austin not only wins the game but that means they are

your number one team of the regular season!

[Ezekiel] Just by the weight of that one score,

we got to go ahead and win and get the number one seat

and the buy going into the finals.

[Kate] Zeke, do your dance!

[Ezekiel] From the first event of the year, you know, I'm undrafted.

Free agent. I really feel like that team made me better.

Just because I wanted to pour into the team what they were pouring into me.

It all just goes back to the team and them believing in me.

And putting me in a position to where I could do that.

I didn't win the game myself, we win as a team and we lose as a team.

If it wasn't for them being behind me

I might not have been able to accomplish it.

And I'm truly grateful for my experience there.

[Eli] We might not be the number-one team in the league right now

but we're still a brotherhood.

I'm hoping Chase comes back in Vegas

I think that's the kind of medicine he needs right now.

[Ezekiel] We wanna win the finals.

So, we're going gung-ho and we're full steam ahead.

It is not gonna be given to us, it is not gonna be handed to us, that's for sure.

I think that we have the drive, and we have the momentum going.

We're on track to do exactly what we want to do.

We've got a chip on our shoulder and we can only get better from here.

We managed to finish well.

We managed to achieve several of the goals we had that weekend.

I am very confident about going to Las Vegas...

because Las Vegas has always been good to me.

I am confident that we will leave there with the title.

Nothing comes easy and we gotta fight for it every single day.

We're hungry and we want, and we gotta make it happen.

Couple bad weekends but that doesn't define us.

'Cause I'm not gonna quit, I'm not gonna let go.

You gotta have a lot of grit. It's either first or nothing.

And I don't really settle for anything less.

We're gonna go to Vegas and take care of business.
