Due to ongoing drug use
and violence

in the client household

we cannot condone
home monitoring.

And we are recommending transfer

to the Zebulon Pike
Youth Facility,

where the client can be
monitored more securely

than at Ridgeview.

Your Honor,
Daniel has demonstrated

exemplary behavior with us.

Would you consider
the client's involvement

in the March 19th altercation
exemplary behavior?

Yes.

Can you elaborate on that?

Had Daniel not forcibly
restrained the attacker,

the other student could have
sustained a concussion,

or worse.

Well, it should have been
handled by staff.

- You're right.
- You're absolutely right.

It should have been handled
by our staff.

-And now there are consequences.
-For Daniel?

For his actions, yes.

But we also have larger concerns
with the facility.

Security is too lax.
Clients have escaped.

Ridgeview has a better record
on that

than any juvenile center
in the state.

Either way, it's clear
that Ridgeview Academy

is not sufficiently helping
his rehabilitation.

That's not true.

Daniel's a completely different
young man

than when he came to us.

He's-- he's respectful.
He's hardworking--

Greg, we are all here
to determine what's best

for the client.

And in this case,
it's transferring--

Melissa!
He's not a client.

He's a 16-year-old boy
and his name is Daniel Alvarez

and he's sitting right here.

Your Honor, we've been here
for over an hour

and the only thing that anyone
has asked him is,

"Are you present?"

He has shown real promise.

I-- I'm-- I'm begging this court
to give him the chance

to realize that promise.

I hereby transfer Daniel Alvarez

to the Zebulon Pike
Youth Penitentiary at six months

to his sentence.

I'm sorry.

-Hey.
-Good morning.

This is Greg Townsend.

This is a pre-paid collect call
from...

Doug Townsend.

- An inmate at California
- State Prison, Sacramento.

Hey, Doug.
I'm really, really sorry.

I-- I should have called you.
I mean, I'm sorry.

Has the uh, hospice gotten
in touch with you yet?

Why would the hospice be
in touch with me?

Dad's doing worse
than they thought.

I gave them your number.

Why would you do that?

I can't handle things
from here.

And they denied
my compassionate furlough.

Someone should be with him.

Any suggestions?

Now don't be like that.

This is a really bad time.

Is it ever a good time
for this kind of thing?

- 40 years ago?
- Ouch!

Hey, hey, hey, Smink?

- Smink?
- What?

No gym until you finish
your food.

I don't care, I hate gym.

Come on. Come here.
Come here. Talk to me.

I'm saying this for you,
not Dad.

You don't know what weight
you're carrying around

-until you let it go.
-Okay.

Thank you, Dr. Phil.

Um, listen, I'm-- I'm at work

and-- and I really have
to hang up, okay?

Dad is not the same man he was
when we were kids.

He's changed.
He deserves a chance.

...maybe I can talk to the cook,
hook you up--

It's not that.
The food's fine. It's just--

Smink?

If you don't eat your food,
you're gonna lose

your Rec Room privileges
for the next month, okay?

Are you serious? A month?

Greg?

No. No, I know. I know.
I'm gonna talk to him, okay?

Just can you get in there
for me right now?

-Okay.
-All right?

Just push some food around
on a fork for me.

- Greg.
- Yeah?

He's not being insubordinate.
Food is a control thing for him.

-You can't negotiate with him.
-I'm sorry.

Which of us has the Master's
in Psychology, Coach?

I-- I got it. I got it.

Here.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm gonna need your help
with prep

and transport
for that backpacking trip

-next week, okay?
-No.

No, no.
I'm out all next week.

Oh, that's right.
For your Tour de Greg.

Grand. Tour de Grand.

-Mm-hmm.
-There you go.

I swear,
only this job would make

somebody think that
a thousand-mile bike ride

was a vacation.

It's 762,
and I enjoy the solitude.

- Of course, you do.
- Thank you.

What's up, Neil Armstrong?
Riding that bike to work.

It's Lance, Rice.

Lance Armstrong.

Lance.

He's the rider?

-All right.
-Yeah.

Hey, 'Tence,
isn't that why you're here?

‘Cause you lanced the homie?

-What?-Yeah.

- What's up, fool?
- Hey!

- Hey!
- Hey, hey!

...Man!

What's the matter with you,
huh?

Stop.

Stop.

All right, now shake hands.

Now, come on.
Do it right.

Look each other in the eye

and shake
each other's hands firmly.

Yeah. All right.

Not bone-crushing.
Come on.

Good. Go on.
Get out of here. Get to class.

Stop it!

This is a pre-paid collect call
from...

Doug again.

- ...an inmate at California
- State Prison, Sacramento.

- Look,
- I don't have phone access

the rest of the day,
so I'll make it quick.

He's only a couple hours
from the Grand Canyon.

You could fly out there,
bring your bike,

maybe ride around the park.

-It's two birds with one stone.
-Hold on.

I'm getting a call
from someone else.

Cedar City?

That's the hospice, take it.

Hello?

Hey!

-Hey!
-Get off of him!

-Get-- get down--
-Atencio, go to class!

Break it up!

-Oh shit!
-Aah!

Get off him!

-Hey, come here!
-Go.

You. Get out in that hallway!

Go! Go!

Rice! Go on!

We're going to
your class, though!

I don't care!
Get out of here!

Ah, shitty slicker,
son of a bitch!

You okay?

Maybe you want to watch your
language around the kids.

-Really?
-Come on. Come on.

Hold on. Hold on.

-Ah! Okay.
-Here, let me help you.

Smink, go to get the nurse
and then get to class.

I'll be right there.
Come on. Come on.

It's only Freaky Tuesday, Greg.

Shit.

I can't do this anymore, man.

I can't do it anymore.

All right. All right.
That's enough.

Back to your seats.

Smink, what's the effect
that a braze

has on a joint?

We brazing joints in here now?

Don't let me find out
you're all in here smoking.

- All right.
- Everybody back to their seats.

Mr. Woolbright, how many times
is it we've had you back here?

Well, I promise you,
there won't be a fourth.

That's profanity.

-20 push-ups.
-I didn't even say a word!

Why don't you go have a seat
in the back

and when you're ready
to follow the rules,

you can participate
with the rest of us.

Y'all see
what I'm talking about?

-I don't even got to say a word.
-Helmets on.

Come on.

You don't really have
to wear that.

No, Greg.

It's a fashion statement.

Your ligaments acting up?

You know, I had a cousin
who tore her ACL

playing badminton
at an employee picnic

and they were able
to stitch it right back up

with a piece of tendon
from a donor.

It's not really
the same thing, Skip.

Well, you stretch and I'll sit.

Our charter's under
state review again.

So, you've got
a new special project.

You're going to approve
my welding expansion?

Nope.

Haddie's 50-mile
backpacking trip.

-Lucky you.
-No.

No. I've got my ride.

And besides,

I'd cramp up halfway up
the mountain.

Your body can't hike 10 miles
and you're going

to ride a thousand
on your tour de Greg.

Tour de Grand. Grand.

Like the Grand Canyon, Skip.

And it's not a thousand miles.
It's 762.

And on a bicycle, I'm sitting.

My arms are bent.
My knees are bent. I'm fine.

You're gonna go on vacation
when the state

is ready to cut off my balls.

I put in for this 10 months ago.

We need a positive story
right now.

Urban delinquents rehabilitated
by tall trees

and bright sunlight.

The donors love
that kind of stuff.

Hoods in the woods.
Redeeming the irredeemable.

It'll look good on Facebook.

Does that include Woolbright?

He gets a second chance,

but Danny Alvarez gets sent back
to the state.

Woolbright was brought back here
for driving without a license.

That's it?

Well, in a stolen station wagon,
which he says he did not steal.

-Of course not.
-Good news.

Local PD called
and they found your bike.

- You're kidding.
- Where did they find it?

Back of a stolen station wagon.

Hey, Speedy.

I got a bent front rim.

You bend more wheels
than anybody I've ever met.

I do more miles than anybody
you've ever met.

I don't think that's it.

I think it's cause
you're so tall.

Hey, you know those corporate
weekend warrior types?

Yeah.

Well, if they
so much as bend a spoke,

they want to upgrade.

So I got about 150,000
of these things in the back.

Cheap and better than new.

I don't want to buy one.
I just need a loaner.

Need to get some extra miles in
before I get to work.

How about that?
That'll work?

Yep.

So, you ready
for your big trip?

Yeah. What's it going
to clock out at?

750 miles?

Good guess. 762.

Wow.

That is impressive.

Take you about a week?

Nah, I'm gonna take my time.
Relax. See some sights.

Well, you've earned it.

I don't know how you work
with those kids every day.

High tolerance for pain,
I guess.

Yeah.

- See you tomorrow.
- Be safe.

Hey, Speedy.

Yeah?

How many rims you say you had?

That is a very good braze,
Smink.

What?

That's a very good braze.

-Good job.
-Thank you. Thank you.

Rice, let's have a look.

Nice.

Nice.

Keep filing.

Woolbright?

Woolbright?

Let me have a look.

You need some more brace
on your joint.

-Okay?
-All right.

Atencio.

That is some very fine work.

-Look at that.
-Thank you.

You guys keep up this good work.
I'ma let you keep these things.

Yeah, I've always wanted
a big metal triangle.

-Appreciate it.
-It's a trapezoid, pendejo.

Man, shut your bitch ass up.

You always that talking
that shit, right?

-All right, all right! Stop!
-I'll whoop your ass.

-Stop, watch your language.
-Hmm, big-ass mouth.

Language.

-Everybody, come in here.
-All right, all right.

Open that up.

Hey.

You see that?

Now what do you see?

It's a bike.

It's a frame. Yes.

Never had my own bike.

You make something yourself,
you take pride in it.

You take care of it.

I'm gonna make mine fast.

Yeah, I'm gonna
make mine fast, too.

Look at that.

Homie, you put
so much braze on it,

it's heavier
than your mama, bro.

- Oh, that's a good amount.
- No.

-That's a good amount of braze.
-Simmer it down.

- My brazing's the best.
- No, no.

You see that? That's a good
amount though right there.

-Yeah, right.
-Will you stop?

-Stop.
-I'm not doing anything.

All right?

It's not the bicycle frame.
It's the rider. Okay?

It's that these bitches
don't even have wheels.

You don't need wheels.

Okay? Not yet.

Bikes don't need wheels?

Nah, he's been huffing
and puffing too much

of them damn welding fumes.

Bikes don't need wheels.

Okay, smack-talkers.

The numbers don't lie.
Get on your bikes.

Come on.

This is the ramp test.

What's a ramp test?

A-- a torture test.
A ride to failure.

Think of it as dying trying.

-Sounds fun.
-Mm-hmm.

The test will increase
by 20 watts each minute.

How long you last depends
on how strong you are.

Yeah?

That's what she said.

Yeah, you might want
to save your breath.

Ready?

Alrighty.

Start pedaling.

This is bullshit.

We're not even going anywhere.

Why are you still pedaling?

Come on, Rice. Push.

We lost one.

Atencio, keep with us.
Stay with the team.

It's you, Smink.

Push, baby. Push!

All right. Good job. Good job.

Catch your breath.

You know how basketball
has positions, hmm?

Well, it's the same thing
on a cycling team.

Yeah? Come on over here.
Have a look.

Smink.

You are a climber.

Got a nice power
to weight ratio.

Atencio, you are a puncheur.

You attack on rolling hills
and short climbs.

I feel like I'm more
the punching,

-you know that type.
-It's not, 'Tence.

-You ain't gonna punch nobody.
-Okay.

All right, all right, all right
all right.

Rice, look here.

You, my friend,
are a natural-born sprinter.

You'd do well in a bunch sprint.

-Elbows flying.
-Yeah. I can take the elbows.

-What about Woolbright?
-Woolbright? Ah...

I don't give a shit.

Delete it.

No, come on. What does--
what does all his stuff mean?

Said delete it.

You are a domestique.

Dumb-ass-tique!

What's that mean?

- Water boy.
- Water boy.

The Grand Canyon.
Are you kidding me?

You want splashy?
The Grand Canyon is splashy.

On the hiking trail,
there's nowhere for them to run.

And what are they gonna steal?
A leaf?

Well, I'll put GPS
on the bicycles.

I'll lock them up at night.
Anything you want.

A trip like this is a privilege.

-Have they earned it?
-They'll earn it on the road.

They'll grow from this.
So, will the school.

Come on, Skip.

Nothing looks better
on Facebook

than the Grand Canyon.

Think in miles, not inches.

We're gonna need equipment.
We're gonna need kits.

Helmets.

But most importantly,
we're gonna need a sponsor.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Interesting.

Well, where'd you find
these guys?

I mean, uh...

Are they USA Cycling?

I mean, what level
are we talking about?

Cat 4? Cat 3?

Not exactly.

Guys, look.

It's the handlebars. See?

-Nah, that's not a handlebar.
-Sweet.

Now, since Haddie has talked
to the insurers in the state

and convinced them
that our kids are ready

to go out into the world,

I feel you two should
work together on this.

Do I have any say in this?

You can say no.

Greg, I'm gonna need
to look into it further.

Now, everything will have
to be donated, of course,

because, as you know, our budget
is on life support.

-Right.-Yes.

Mm-hmm.

It's a little off-brand for me.

I mean, I don't have any
orange jump suits in the shop.

Yeah.

Che, che, che, che.

So, how is this
gonna work again?

Well, the same
as a backpacking trip,

but with bikes.

You know,
we use the same tents,

the same sleeping bags,
everything you got donated.

So, are you gonna just tow them

behind you in like,
a little buggy?

No, no. We put everything
in the sag wagon.

-The sag wagon?
-The sag wagon.

Okay. Got a lot of pep
in your step.

Support and gear.
Right here.

Greg, this is John and Carol.

They're from
Colorado Youth Services.

Oh, wow. From the state.

So, the inmates
would weld bicycles

-and ride them?
-I'm sorry, Carol.

Carol, these are not inmates.
They're students.

And welding for a bicycle's
not really different

than welding for anything else.

- This shit's ghetto as hell.
- Look it don't even go in.

Head positions.

Hoods.

Tops.

Drops.

These seats come right out.

Don't-- don't hurt yourself.

Voilà.

Hey.

These kids...

they're broken pieces.

And try as we may
to glue them back together.

If we apply too much pressure,

they crack in the same places.

In welding, we don't use glue.

You use fire.

You heat the metal
until it melts

and then you beat it into shape.

You can't beat the kids, Greg.

Hey, Speedy.

You remember your first bicycle?

Cherry red,
under the Christmas tree.

Did you ever put baseball cards
in the spokes?

Of course.

The faster you went,
the louder it got.

That wasn't the sound
of a baseball card.

That was the sound of freedom.

Don't you think every kid
deserves a chance to feel th?

Yes, I do.

If they knock you out,
rob you blind,

and leave you for dead
in the desert,

that is on you.

But if you want,
I'll cover the gears

and the pedals.

But you better not buy
one more tube

-of butt butter online.
-Deal.

Hey, I'm sponsoring a team.

All right, I'll throw
in the kits.

What do you guys
call yourselves?

Banda di Catene.

It's nice. It's Italian.

What does it mean?

Huh? Nice.

That's ugly, bro.

You ever hear of spellcheck?

It means chain gang.

What, you about to chain us
to the bikes

or something like that?

Told you they weren't gonna
like it.

Like a bicycle chain.

- What's wrong with you people?
- Y'all tripping.

I'm not about to be a part
of no damn chain gang.

-Looking good, fellas. Whoo!
-Okay, all right, Woolbright.

-Yeah!
-Come on.

Just come over here.
Hang out with me.

- Are these like kid sizes?
- No.

And before you ask,
you do not wear tighty-whities

under them.

I got to free ball
in these things?

And this is your bicycle shoe.

On the bottom,
there is a metal clip,

which you put into
your clipless bicycle pedal.

And even though there's nothing
to protect, a brain bucket.

Each of these things is going
to carry you across three states

to the Grand Canyon.

Okay. But hear me out,
I got a plan.

Why don't we just drive?

If we driving,
I-- I could do that.

Right now,
you are unfamiliar

with your bicycle.

But by the end of this trip,
you will become one with it.

You are going to learn
to work together.

You are going to learn to ride
in a Peloton.

Like those rich-bitch
exercise bikes?

-Language.
-It-- it means platoon, okay?

It means platoon.

It's derived from pelote,
which means little ball.

Yeah, well, my big pelotes
ain't fitting in these,

so, no thank you.

Lesson one, clipping in.

To clip in,
you point your toe down

and stomp.

With patience and practice,

you guys are gonna be able
to do this,

at traffic lights
without having to unclip.

But when you do need to unclip,

you turn your toe in,
and take your foot out.

Okay, you guys try.

Oh, here we go.

Oh.

Grand Canyon, huh?

-Okay.-Shit.

Let's try again.

Born cyclists, they are not.

You know what overcomes
hard luck?

Hard work.

A ride like this takes grit,
and these boys,

they have plenty of grit.

Hmm.

You go right, you go right.

You know,
if Rice hadn't ended up here,

I really think he could have
been an athlete.

Yeah, I agree with you.

But he coasts.

Smink, on the other hand,
he'll push himself

until he breaks to prove
he's got control.

You know, when the social worker
did a home visit,

he refused to eat
for a whole week.

Open road, sunshine,
plenty of exercise,

he'll have an appetite.

Yeah, 'cause that's how you
solve an eating disorder, Gre,

sunlight.

Atencio, he already knows
how to play for a team.

Yeah, he's got a lot of anger,
which is great.

-Is it?
-Yeah, look at him.

He's already turning his anger
into motivation.

Wait till you see who he becomes
when he gets

to the Grand Canyon.

Watch out, watch out, hey.

Come on, Haddie.

Let's show the state who these
kids really are.

They're not their rap sheets.

They're not lost causes.

You know who's clever,
and resourceful,

and full of untapped
leadership potential?

No.

No.

It might be our last chance
to reach him, Greg.

No, absolutely not.

He'll drag the other boys down.
No.

You said that we needed
to teach these boys

that if they set a goal,
no matter how impossible,

that through hard work
and determination,

they can achieve it, right?

Didn't you just say that?

Or I gotta hold it
the whole time?

If you want me, you got
to take Woolbright.

I don't want you that bad.

Well, I guess I won't sign off
with Bowman, then.

Is that a yes?

Huh?

Oh, you got a clip-in
for my boot?

Your right leg still works,
doesn't it?

Yeah.

Then you can drive
the sag wagon.

Ugh.

Can we call it something else?

No!

This is a prepaid collect call
from...

Doug Townsend.

- An inmate at California
- State Prison, Sacramento.

Hey, it's Doug, obviously.

You still leaving
for your ride tomorrow?

Thought any more about going
to see Dad?

The doctor said
it could be any day now.

Anyway, I-- I'll try again
this time tomorrow.

I hope you're okay.

Morning, gentlemen.
You guys ready to hit the roa?

Where's Woolbright?

Wait, hold on, hold on.

Y'all seriously not going out
dressed like that?

Y'all serious?

It's important that you wear
the uniform for the trip.

Baby, you tripping if you think
I'm wearing

them damn nut-huggers
like these clowns.

Suit yourself.

- Hey.
- What are you guys doing?

I'm just gonna put
my shirt over my suit.

What about you, Smink?
You want to play dress-up, too?

I don't care how I look.

Yeah, it's 'cause he already
looks like a bitch.

Woolbright!

All right,
I won't say nothing else.

Y'all the ones that got them
dressing in them leotards

-and spandex and shit.
-You're still talking.

-'Tence--
-You're still talking.

Ballet?
You got ballet practice?

Get your damn pass
before I whoop your ass.

Man, get outta my face.

Woolbright, it's too early
for this.

You're up early.

Keep them out of trouble.

They've already come a long way.

-Hey.
-Come on, man.

If one of them
so much as steals a Slim Jim,

-bring ‘em all back by van.
-Yes, sir.

If they cut loose, don't chase,
call the local sheriff.

Okay, we'll do everything
by the book.

You know there's no book
for this.

-You ready to ride?
-Thank you.

Be safe.

Hey, boys!

When we ride together,
we say, ho!

Everybody say, ho!

Ho!

Ho, ho, ho!

-Ho!
-All right, mount up!

Let's hit the road!

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

She a ho!

Single file!

Guys, you got to stay in a line.

Holy shit, boys!

These assholes trying
to kill us, man!

No swearing.

We're still representing
Ridgeview.

-What the hell?
-10 push-ups the next stop.

-No one can hear us, coach.
-20.

Pass it on.

Yo!

Coach says we can't swear!

Even though no one gives a fuck,
no one cares.

-Pass it on.
-Hey, coach says no swearing.

Pass it on.

Hey, Rice.

Some bullshit about
not swearing.

Yeah, well, tell him
I'm not trying to swear.

I can't balance this, mother--

Hey, guys,
stay in a straight line.

That's how drafting works.

I'm sick of looking
at Tence's ass.

So don't look, perv.

Coach!

Coach!

-When's lunch?
-Oh my God.

-Smink, you hungry?
-No.

Smink says
we should keep riding.

-Bullshit!
-Why'd you ask Smink!

See, it'll all be worth it
when we see the stars tonight.

This seat is killing my taint,
though.

Yeah, it's kind of stabbing
my squeat.

What's that?

My ma gooch, my gucci mane,
my grundle.

You'll get used to it.

Come on, let's go.

-Ho!-Ho!

Hey.

They need to eat.

I know.

- We're way behind.
- I know.

Thank you.

I'm thinking we can stop
at Miller's Canyon.

-Miller's Canyon?
-Yeah.

But th-- that's a trailer park.

Did you want to sleep
on the side of the road?

I mean, we'll be lucky
to get that far.

Hey, guys,
we got a long ride ahead of .

Does anybody want
any butt butter

for your uh, squeat?

-Hey, you nasty, man.
-No!

-Like, is it rusty butter?
-I'm gonna lube up.

- Okay, let's not use that word.
- Greg! Greg!

Do not give the butt butter.

Smink.

Thank you.

Woolbright.

Wow.

Look at all these stars.

Let's get those tents up.

Yo, coach,
there's no instructions.

They wouldn't be
in Spanish anyways.

I don't read Spanish, shit-head.

Hey!

The instructions
could be in Chinese.

You're men and men
do not need instructions

to put up a tent, okay?

You take the poles,
and you slide them

through the slots. Easy.

Okay, so we take our big,
long poles,

and we stick them
in the slots, all right, cool.

Okay, I'm gonna leave this
for you men.

And get out
of those wet clothes.

You're gonna get jock itch.

-Haddie?-Uh-huh?

There's a laundry facility
over here.

Uh-huh?

We should, uh, get those clothes
and get ‘em in there

and get ‘em washed
before it's too late.

We?

Yeah. You're support.

Oh, Greg.

I hereby swear on the souls
of my foremothers,

I will not be doing anybody's
damn laundry.

Hey, even your hands are weak.

Why won' you stand up straight?

Listen to me, son.
Get your shoulders back.

Put your head up.

The world's not gonna be nice
to you.

Because you're different.

You look me in the eye
when you shake my hand.

I want you to hurt me.
Break my hand.

So, you gotta show ‘em
you're tough.

Squeeze.

Harder. Harder. Harder!

Like this.

Why do you keep
making me do this?

Over!

- Come on, guys.
- Hey, hey, oh!

- Come on, let's go.
- Oh, it's too early.

Breakfast is over
in 10 minutes.

When did it start?

- Morning, Haddie.
- Morning.

You want some coffee?

If it's strong, yes.

Okay, there you go.

Uh, thank you.

-You don't drink coffee?
-Mm-mm.

Excites my heart.

Here you go, Smink.

-Morning.
-Oh, hey.

Oh, no. I just-- I just woke up,
so I'm not super hungry yet.

Calories equal miles.

Don't make me ask you twice.

-Go on. Take it.
-Thank you.

Guys, you're gonna want to put
on your kits today.

These street clothes are slowing
you down every mile.

Good morning, Haddie.

You enjoy all
of our pitched tents last night?

Little boy, I will break
my whole boot off up

in your behind.

-Why you gotta be so hostile?
-20 push-ups. Obscenities.

Uh, I was just playing with her.

Sorry, coach.
My-- my shorts are slipping.

It's really hot out here.

Hey, Woolbright.

Why don't you come up here
and lead?

You'll be great to draft off
wearing those parachutes.

All right.

Yeah, come shield us.

-Looks good.
-Looking good, fellas.

You're slower than
an Amish drag race, man!

Hey, at least I don't look
like a bitch!

Woolie's so damn slow,
it takes his ass an hour

to make minute rice, bro.

That was a good one.

Well, we did it.

Our first full day's ride
and it only took us two days.

Come on over here.

You guys need to learn how
to read one of these things.

You ever hear of Google Maps?

There's no cell phone reception.
What do you do then?

- I learn how to read a map.
- Okay.

Does anybody want
to take a guess where we are?

This is where we started.

Where do you think we are?

Okay, right here.

That's very optimistic.

Why do you think we're there?

Well, we went past this super
traffic-heavy area right here,

so that's that-- that red line.

You think this paper map gives
you live traffic updates?

No, no, no, no.

Not live, just like
an average based on

like when they made this map.

And the normal wind patterns.

Okay. This is where we started.

This is where we are.

- And this is where we are going.
- Hmm.

Honestly,
you guys are doing pretty go.

Tomorrow we have to up our game.

We're doing 1 vertical mile,
and we have to work together.

We're a Peloton, remember?

And we cover for each other.

The guy up front takes the wind
for his mates in the back.

And when he gets too tired,
his mates take the wind for him.

Get some rest.

- All right.
- All right.

-Hey, Greg.
-Yeah?

It was Bowman.

He said that your dad's nurse
is looking for you.

Oh.

Okay.

Thanks.

They don't have your cell phone
on file?

No, they've got it.

It's just, you know,
out here the uh--

the cell phone service
is so bad.

Okay.

Thanks.

"Big day tomorrow.”

-Guess we better carb up then.
-Damn.

Where'd you find these?

-Mini mart.
-Give me the black one.

These baggy clothes are good
for something.

-What if we get caught?
-Then what?

He sends us back to school?

That's better than riding
with a seat shoved up our ass.

Come on.

What's that you're drinking?

A nice cold can
of my own business.

There's no drinking
on school premises.

We're not on school premises.

Well, that includes
off-site activities.

How you feeling?

We have to pick up the pace.

But they're improving.

Except Woolbright.

That boy has no discipline
at all.

I don't know.

He wore a drag chute two days
straight just to piss you off.

Seems pretty disciplined to me.

Hmm.

How's everything with your dad?

How long's it been
since you two spoke?

Two decades.

You know, some relationships,
the only way we can feel

in control is to control access.

I thought your degree
was in childhood psychology.

Aren't we all just children
who grew up?

You ever hear of the fleas
in the jar experiment?

No.

But it sounds like the start
of a good joke.

It does.

It's something we did
in grad school.

Take some fleas, put ‘em
in a jar, set it aside

for a while.

-With a lid on it.
-All right.

Outside the jar,
fleas can jump several feet.

But inside the jar,
they bang their head

against the lid.

After a while,
you take the lid off.

You'd think they would fly
right out to escape.

But they never do.

They keep jumping, just shy
of the height of the lid.

And they stay trapped.

You ever seen stars
like this before?

Only in a fistfight.

Oh, wait,
that was the other guy.

-Dude.
-Good one.

You're about to see some, homie.

Man, you're so full of shit,
Atencio.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

You know, mis primos,

they ask me to take care
of a thing.

If I wasn't a miner,
I'd be at Canon City right no.

Wait, you,
when you mean a thing,

you mean like--
like you stabbed somebody?

A thing.

And I was just a homie,
so I had to do it.

You know my cousin?

He's got like,
20 homies working for him, man.

Gettin' paid, bro.

He's got like two Escalades.

All the women.

So when I get home,
I'll have the same thing.

My own crew.

My own soldiers.

- And then what?
- I don't know.

Have some kids.

Get some bitches.

Make me...

You want to get a head start?

On getting some bitches?

Nah.

Not yet.

I looked it up.

There's like,
10 Greyhound stations

between here
and the Grand Canyon.

Okay, but what about the--
the GPS on the bikes?

Put it on a bus.

-Goes north, we go south.
-Hmm.

Easy.

Hell, yeah.

To Vegas, bro.

We're not old enough to gamble.

-Why would you say that?
-Really, man?

Ruined the vibe.

Where would you want to go,
Smink?

-Back to Ridgeview?
-No.

You want to stay with Greg.

He wants to keep biking.

-You want to stay with Greg?
-No, I don't.

Hey, Smink like riding in it.

- He's good on it, though.
- Wear-- wearing the kit.

That's his woman,
that bike.

He made love
to that motherfucker.

Let me stop, let me stop,
let me stop.

Now on some real shit, though.

Where would y'all go?

I'd go there.

That orange one?

It's Mars.

You want
to take over the planet,

is what you're saying?

Start our own society
where we rule?

Yeah.

- Hell, yeah.
- Yeah.

'Tence wouldn't last a day.

I'd outlast your ass.

Man, that's some bullshit.

-You know damn well--
-Look, I'll be up in Mars.

I'll meet me
a little alien woman.

Create a little
alien civilization.

Alien booty.

Yeah.

I'll turn that shit out.

Thank you.

Gravity?

Gravity.

That doesn't--
that doesn't matter.

Get your ass to sleep, bro.

They're not gonna have
any gravity up there.

Guys, guys.

Yeah, I hope
there's intelligent life

up there.

Because there sure isn't any
over there.

- What?
- Got him.

How much did you drink?

He just had one sip.

-Yo, one sip?
-What?

He still got, he still got--

Oh, he finished the whole thing.

Oh, shit.

Man, that's mine.
Stop playing. Stop--

-All right, this shit's me.
-That's a start, Smink.

Little Smink wins for the night.

That's a start, bro.

Stupid.

After this flat spot,
1 vertical mile.

Get psyched.

Coach, that last mile marker
said 149.

-That's correct.
-The one before that said 148!

Very good.

What's the next one gonna say?

-150?-Yep.

I'm glad you're passing math,
Rice.

You said one more mile.

What the hell, man?

One vertical mile.

Up.

You got to be kidding me.

You got to do the climb

if you want to enjoy
the descent.

Stay in a low gear
over this next bit.

It's not that steep.

You'll just burn up energy
if you go into a--

a higher gear.

-Chain gang.
-Chain gang.

Don't lose momentum.

Solid momentum.

Keep it up, boys.

Feel that burn.

That's the mountain trying
to push you down.

Go into your pain cave.

Pain is motivation.

Pain is energy.

Push your anger out
through your feet.

-Atencio!-Yeah!

-Are you angry?
-Yes!

-What are you angry at?
-That bitch-ass puta Mario!

Okay.

You're angry
at the puta something Mario.

Good.

Push it all out.

Smink.

-You pissed?
-Yes!

What are you pissed at?

Everything!

Good. Use it.

Be pissed at everything.

- Rice!
- Yeah?

-You angry?
-No!

I'm just in pain.

All right. Use that pain.

Push yourself up the mountain
with that pain.

Come on. Push!

How about our permanent caboose?

Woolbright.

What are you angry at?

- You!
- Good.

Push down the pedals
like it's my face.

Does that make you feel better?

Push it all out!

You stupid little fuck!

Yo.

All right, guys.

That's lunch.

Bro, what the f--

Come on, Smink.
You gotta eat.

-I just puked earlier.
-Almost.

You didn't,
because your stomach is empty.

Come on.

How about you talk
to Woolbright?

He's the one who can't keep up.

You want me to go talk
to Woolbright,

because you won't eat
your sandwich?

Greg.

Rice.

-It's an extra sandwich.
-Oh.

Damn, coach.

Thank you.

-What's up?
-What are you doing?

What do you mean,
what am I doing?

-Smink?-Yeah.

He just needs
a little motivation.

Typical cyclist.

-Can't stay in your lane.
-That's a good one.

You-- you've been thinking
about that for a while?

Seriously.

An eating disorder
is a DSM-5 condition.

That shit you're pulling
is the kind of stuff

that can cost us our charter.

Haddie, I've been doing this
for 30 years.

-I think I know what I'm doing.
-Fine.

You know,
it's like I'm babysitting

five kids on this trip.

We done?

Come.

Guys, let's go.

We leave in five minutes.

Slowing.

All right, guys,
let's hold up here.

Get hydrated, all right?

Where's Woolbright?

Oh, he's way back there.

Hey, Woolbright!
What are you doing?

What the hell does it look like?

Looks like you never rode
a bike before.

This bike's a piece of shit.

You made it.

Oh, so I'm the piece of shit?

Hey, maybe if you
weren't wearing

such a baggy shirt,
you-- you'd keep up with us.

Then I'll ride like this.

Happy? Cool?

Put your shirt back on.
You're gonna get sunburnt.

All right.

Fine.

I have to teach you guys how
to descend a mountain anyway.

Thanks to Woolbright,
we are going to descend this one

and climb it again.

-What?-What?

No, no, no.

-I didn't like the first time.
-Not right.

If we're gonna do something,
we're gonna do it right.

Why do we all have to do it?

- Because we're a team.
- Come on, not that.

Now, a mountain like this--
hold on.

What? I'm not doing that, man.

It's dangerous.

Screw this, man.

- Smink! Smink's going.
- Yo!

- Go, coach! Go!
- Smink!

Smink, stop!

-Go!-Smink!

-Let's go!
-Go, go, go, go.

Whoo!

Yeah!

Whoo.

Oh wow.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

Oh, okay, okay. Ah!

I can't stop! I can't stop!

Smink!

Slow down!

Coach, coach, coach!

Greg, help! Help!

Low pressure! Rear brake!

The right hand!
The rear brake!

Squeeze your right brake!

Your right brake!

I'm trying.

Not too hard!

You're okay, Smink!
That's it!

Keep slowing down!
You got it!

You got this!

You're gonna be all right!

Slow pressure!

Atta boy. Come here. Sit down.

Take your helmet off.

You're all right. Yeah.

I almost died.

You're all right.

You're okay.

That's my legs.

My legs won't stop shaking.

It's 'cause you don't eat,
Smink.

No, it's ‘cause I was
almost roadkill!

Asshole!

Asshole.

-Smink, you good?
-You all right?

He's all right.

What happened?

Is your brakes all right?

- Get their bikes, man.
- Yeah, I got Smink's.

Hey, Greg!

What's that?

Disc brake.

Yeah, why are yours down there,
but ours are up here?

They're just different.

Different?

Oh, cool. So we could crash,
but you'll be all right.

If you guys
would just listen to me

and let me teach you,
we'll get through this.

Trust me!

Man, trust my ass!

Whoa, watch yourself, bro.

Who's gonna make me?
A fake-ass gang-banger like you?

‘Tence, back the hell up, bro.
Chill out.

Hey!

I'll beat your ass, boy.

-Get off him, 'Tence.
-Hey!

Hey, off him, ‘Tence!

I'm sorry, coach.

I'm sorry, coach.

I can't believe I wasted my ride

with a bunch
of stupid crybabies.

Everything all right?

Maybe we should load the bikes
up, drive the rest of the miles.

- It's been a long day.
- No.

If we use the van today,
we'll use it every day,

and this ride won't mean
anything.

It already doesn't mean
anything.

I vote we use the van.

Same.

Yeah.

Because you never really tried
to finish anything.

And I'm sorry I hurt
your feelings, Woolbright,

when I said you were stupid.

I thought you already knew.

- That's enough!
- Hey, screw you, man!

-You think it's easy being us?
-No.

No, it's hard being you.

I know what it is to grow up
in fear.

I've lived it.

So, don't play the victim
with me.

Bullshit.

What, Mommy
and Daddy spank you too much?

You think I don't know what's
going on inside your head, huh?

Right now, you feel helpless.
You think this is all pointless.

You think this
is all a big joke.

If you want to get in the van,
go ahead.

It's right there.

You can limp across the road
right now,

and none of this
will have mattered.

Or you could set a goal.

You can set a goal today
and know that nobody told you

what you could or couldn't be.

That nobody told
you what you can

or can't do.

You decide that.

You decide that today
on this mountain.

You decide.

You want to get in the van,
go ahead.

I'm gonna finish what I started.

It's 12 miles to the campground,
mostly downhill, Rice.

We can make that.
Right, Greg?

We've got about 45 minutes
of light.

Listen, I know you can do this.

This is the fun part, guys.

You rode hard.
You earned it.

Let's finish what we started,
yeah?

But don't do it,
because you have to.

Do it because you decided to.

Do it for yourself.

No one else.

I don't really have a choice,
do I?

Sure, you do.

The van's right there.

What, and let you rub it
in my face for the rest

of the trip?

Nah.

I'd rather have this bike seat
shoved up my ass.

Smink, it's downhill

Use your brakes.

-I'm calling you.
-Okay.

Yeah, maybe use
your pedals this time.

Hey, guys!

What do we say when we ride?

Ho!

Ho!

Yes, please.

There you go.

Okay, Smink,
with the full plate.

Come on, boy.

-Eat up, eat up.
-Where's Woolbright?

Oh.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Good morning, Woolie.
- Morning, Woolie.

What's up, Woolie?

How your pelotes feeling, bro?

- Snug.-

Oh, dear Heavenly Father,
if I ever have children,

-please bless me with all girls.
-Amen.

-Amen.-Amen.

-Come on. No, no.
-Haddie, good one.

-Wait for it, amen.
-Amen, yeah.

Let's amen to that.

When you build a fire...

You don't start with big logs.

You start small.

You start with the kindling,
because that provides you

with the heat,

and once that little bit
of kindling gets burning...

-Everybody say ho!
-Ho!

- Ho!
- Ho!

Go.

How's my ass?

I gotta work my way up.

Atta boy.

Are you sure you should be
teaching us

how to start fires, Coach?

Well, none of you are in
for arson, are you?

Most likely to commit arson
on three.

1, 2, 3!

Me?

-Watch-- watch yourself.
-What?

All right, now,
I've been talking about using

this the whole trip,

and I know that some of you
are getting sore.

Just take a little bit
of the cream,

pull your pants out,
and reach in,

and just give it a good lube.

Smear.

It's cold.

-Ho!-Ho!

Hey!

Smink!

Boy, there you go.

Come on, Woolie.

Yeah, a big hug.

Wooo!

You see that?

No, I get it.

Okay.

Greg.

That was Bowman.

-It's about my dad?
-No.

It's about Ridgeview.

The state revoked our charter.

What?

Yeah, Skip's trying to fight it,
but they want to allocate funds

to bigger state-run
institutions.

These boys will be lost
in a state-run institution.

Yeah, I know.

The sheriffs are gonna be
at Ridgeview

to pick up the boys.

I'm sorry.

We gotta cut the trip short.

By how much?

What are you talking?

Tomorrow.

What about the Grand Canyon?

If there's time,
maybe we can stop

somewhere else cool
on the way home?

You mean back to Ridgeview?

Correct.

For now.

Well, Ridgeview may be
temporarily closed.

There's been an issue
with the charter.

Unfortunately...

some of you boys
may be reassigned.

This is bullshit.

You said we were gonna finish
the whole ride.

Man, forget this shit, man.

Woolbright!

I'm sorry.

This is bullshit.

Woolbright!

Woolbright!

Shit.

Woolbright!

Woolbright.

I can't go back to jail.

I can't.

You won't.

You won't go back to jail.
I'll vouch for you.

You'll vouch for me?

You don't give a fuck about me.

You think I'm a joke.

You call me
the “dumb-ass-tique”.

The water boy.

You don't care about me.

I shouldn't have said that.

But you did!

And I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said it.

You're a good kid, Woolbright.

You're the guy
that everybody on this team

would spill their guts out for.

And if you choose,
you'll be the one

to take us across
the finish line.

Man, no one cares
if I finish anything, man.

It's-- it's not true.

And if you look back,
you'll see how far

you've already come.

If you let a little bad news
bring you down...

the other guys are gonna think
you're a lame-ass puta.

That's 10 push-ups.

Good man.

Good man.

So, the Grand Canyon actually
that much better than this?

Oh, yeah.

This?

This is dog shit.

All right,
let's get off this mountain.

We finally got them
to understand that hard work

and a plan could get them where
they want to go.

Plans change.

There's a lesson in that, too.

What's the lesson?

Do everything right
and you still get shit

in your face?

I think they've already learned
that lesson.

Is it even legal to keep going?

He said tomorrow.

What if we just rode like hell
till we get to the Grand Canyon?

We pack everything into the van,
and you and I share the driving,

and we're back at Ridgeview
by sundown.

Only a day behind.
We'll say we got a flat.

I don't know.

What? What?

What's your concern?

Quite frankly, you.

But if things get crazy,
you won't listen to reason.

I do. I always do.

All right, um, I will.

I promise.

Okay.

Really?

But don't cross me.

If you do, you'll need more
than a pair of crutches.

Sunrise Assisted Living.

Uh, hello.

I'm uh--

I'm calling to speak
to a patient of yours.

Uh, Robert Townsend.

What's your relation?

Oh.

I'm family.

Okay.

Mr. Townsend,
you have a phone call.

I'm gonna hold it up to his ear.

Pop?

- I'm sorry.
- He's not really able.

The phone is too difficult
at this point.

Are you near?

Can you come
and see him in person?

Uh...

I'm sorry.
I-- I'm-- I'm getting a call.

Uh, I'll have to--
I'll have to call back.

Thank you.

Yes. Good, that means
it's working.

Move forward. Come on.

Keep it straight,
keep it straight.

Hey Greg. I was um,
looking at this map

and I must be missing
something.

It says its 107 miles
to Dinosaur Tracks.

Yeah. It's uh, 107 miles
to the flattest road

in the West.

There's even a slight downgrade.

How slight?

200 feet.

Over 107 miles?

Do they even need to pedal

or can they just coast
the whole way?

If they can hold a pace line,

- they'll be able to do this.
- Greg.

You know, eight-hours' ride,
we divide that in two.

Townsend, it's too much.

No. They-- they need to see
why they set out to do this.

They've seen the Grand Canyon
on postcards and movies.

-They won't care.
-They will care.

When they cross that bridge
and they see how big

the world really is,
maybe, just maybe,

they'll want to become
a part of it.

Greg,
if you take those boys

107 miles across the desert,
they're going to fall apart.

When.

When I take them
across 107 miles of desert,

they are going to see
who they really are.

And-- and everything that
they do from that point on

will seem easy.

If you want to quit
on ‘em like everyone else,

go ahead.

But I'm not doing that.

I'm not.

Guys, put your bags in the van.

We leave in one minute.

Ho!

It's 9:00 a.m.

We've done 15 miles.

You're doing great.

-Hey, Smink?
-Yeah?

Let me drive for you, bro.

All right.

Pull to the right.
I'll come to the left.

Ready?

Let's go.

We good?

Right behind you, Woolie.

All right.

How you feel, Woolbright?

Feels great, man.

Everybody take a drink of water.

It's 11:00 a.m.

35 miles.

We got to do better, guys!

Let's push! Come on!

Push!

Push!

Push!

- Ho!
- Ho!

- Ho!
- Ho!

The sun's on the way down.

It's gonna be easier
from here on out.

It's directly overhead.

Uh, it's a mirage.

Are you good, coach?

Hey, take it easy.

- Oh, Jesus.
- Let's go.

Yeah, man.

Take your time
or you'll cramp up.

Nobody's gonna cramp up.
Let's go.

We're leaving in 20 minutes
and not a second sooner.

Greg, they've ridden
55 miles already.

It's not even lunchtime.

There's no reward
for a job half the time.

Okay, look, I don't want you
to take it out on me.

But this isn't about being tough
or grit.

It's about heat stroke.
Come on.

Let's go.
Let's finish up.

We got a long way to go.

Are we staying
or are we going-- whose--

You're staying.
You're eating.

You're taking your time.

Hey, guys, let's shift up.

Get a little more power,
a little more speed.

Ready?

Ready.

Shift up.

Let's go. Come on.

- Come on.
- Ho!

-Ho!-Ho!

Yo, you all right?

Smink, you okay?

I died 10 miles ago.

Lucky you, bro.

Ah! God!

A cramp is in my leg.

Got a cramp or something.

-Try to stretch it out.
-My leg hurts.

Try something.
Man, it hurts.

-It's your leg?
-Easy, easy, easy.

-You need to stretch it out.
-Try to put your leg down.

- Here, drink some water.
- Just give him space.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey!
-Coach! Give him space!

We did 97 miles today, okay?

That's great.

You set a new record.
Come on.

We're not finished.

They already broke the record
by 12 miles, all right?

Let's just call it for the day.

We're gonna keep
on breaking the record,

because today
we're doing 107 miles.

-No, Greg, we're not.
-Yeah, we are.

-We're going--
-Come on, get up.

Come on, boys.

Respect.

Attitude.

Motivation.

Spirit.

Keep pushing.

Keep pushing.

Hey, coach!

How many miles have we done?

How many miles, coach?

Coach!
How many miles?

- Hey, coach!
- Hey, coach!

You okay?

-Hey.
-Yo coach.

Hey, damn.

Oh, shit.

He's dead.

Well, this is embarrassing.

Did you think
it was gonna help those kids

to see you literally drop dead
from stubbornness?

Well, I like to think
of it as showing tenacity.

When you crashed, this fell.

Thank you.

Your brother called.

I answered it.

Figured I should tell him you
might be dying.

What did he say?

He said
you were too stubborn to die.

He told me about your dad.

Greg, don't be a tough guy.

Maybe just this one time.

Go see your father.

I am telling you,
you will regret it

for the rest of your life
if you don't.

Yeah, I'll go
once we're finished.

It'll be too late.

I'm not quitting, Haddie.

Greg, I'm not letting you
get back on a bike after this.

We ran out of time anyway.

We did our best.

It's over.

So, you can either ride back
in the sag wagon

while you father dies
or you can go see him

and maybe put some
of this behind you.

Hey, guys.

-You good?
-What happened?

This happens to me every once
in a while.

It's no big deal.

-I'm fine.
-You-- you're all good?

Totally fine.
Totally fine.

Um...

I wanted to take you
on this ride,

so that you guys could see
that the world was a lot bigr

than what you think it is.

Yeah.

You know, this-- I--

What I'm saying isn't
because of my heart

or because of my muscles
or my tendons.

It's uh--

I'm not--

I'm not--

I'm not gonna be able to, uh,
finish the ride with you guys.

Okay?

Um...

Are you kidding me?

No, there's something I need
to take care of.

After all that shit about
pushing through,

finishing what we start,
you bail with one day to go?

All right, Woolie, chill out.
He just had a stroke.

Nah, man.

Every time we're tired
is because we're lazy

or quitters or because
we don't know

how to finish what we start.

Nah, he's the expert rider.

He's the one that knows
what he's doing.

Nah, man.

Just another fake-ass cog
in the system moving us

from juvie to school
to juvie again.

That's not true.

Oh, yeah?

Well, how many kids
you still keep in contact wit?

Huh?

How many? Do you know
where they ended up?

Which ones were in jail?

Out?

Trying to teach us about life.

Man, he don't know shit
about life.

I let you guys down,
and uh, I'm sorry.

You can finish the ride
on my bicycle.

Finish what, man?

We're not doing
this stupid ride anymore.

Okay.

Well, uh, I'll see you guys back
at Ridgeview, okay?

Ridgeview shut down.

I don't know
where you think we're going.

All right, guys.

Here is $2 each.

All right?
I want you to go in there.

If you come out with anything,
you need to have a receipt

and a store witness.

What's wrong with Coach?

What do you mean?
What's wrong?

Like...

Why did he pass out?

What's up with his muscles
and stuff?

There's nothing up
with his muscles.

Not that
it's any of your business,

but he's got tendons
that are too short,

or too tight, or both.

He's had it his whole life.

That wouldn't make him pass out,
would it?

- No, that's something else.
- That's his heart.

An arrhythmia.

He's got that, too.

So, now you know.

Wait, so he has all this shit
wrong with him,

he still did the trip?

That's right.

What an asshole.

Okay, go.

Get yourself a snack.

Get a snack.

Hey.

You fold that properly?

Yes, sir.

All right. Good man.

I'm gonna be outside, fellas.

We got a good crew.

I'm gonna miss you guys.

There's a Greyhound station
20 miles from here.

I'm out.

While it's still dark,
I gotta be stealth,

'cause I don't want Haddie
to hear.

Okay.

I'm going with you.

Screw it.

Me, too.

You still falling
for Coach's bullshit,

even after today?

Mr. Townsend,
I can take you back.

Thank you.

Sure.

I know this is very hard.

Your father seems like
a really sweet man.

Oh, really?

Thank you. Uh...

Okay, right here
is where his room is and--

Okay.

Um, do you mind
if I just take a moment?

Take your time.

Pop.

Pop, you awake?

I've come a long way to be here

and the least you could do
is say hello.

Don't want to appear weak.

Don't want people
to think you're sick.

Gotta be strong.

Have a backbone.

Isn't that what you told me
and Doug?

D--

Doug? Doug.

You're-- you're--
You're Doug?

No.

I am Greg.

Greg.
Your-- your other son.

Greg.

I didn't think

I would see you again.

Dad.

Dad.

Everyday.

Very funny.

Very funny, guys.

You know, your joke's gonna
backfire on you,

because you're gonna be
the ones

who have to pump up these tires.

You know how hard it is
to inflate a tire

with a bike pump?

Get up.
You're making breakfast.

What the shit?

Guys, look at this.

It's crazy!

Like we in a painting.

Can we pull over for a second

and just take a look
at all of it?

Haddie's probably up by now.

We gotta keep going.

Come on.

Good morning, Haddie.

The little shits ran away.

What?

Yeah.

Snuck out.

They deflated my tires.

It-- it's not their fault.

Like hell it isn't.

No, it-- it's my fault.

Whatever you do,
don't call Skip.

I already called Skip.

He didn't pick up.

Well, that's a blessing.

-I left a message.
-All right.

Haddie, you've got
to find those kids.

Oh, I'm gonna find them.

And then I'm gonna kill ‘em.

I'll call you
from the rental car.

We'll figure this out.

-And-- and Haddie?
-Yeah?

Channel all of your anger
into pumping.

Yeah, I think I'm on top of it.

Yo!

Slow down, bro!

We're not all
on the coach's bougie-ass bike.

We gotta make the bus!

-Come on.
-Hey, relax.

It's not like they're gonna put
an APB out on us.

- This is an all-points bulletin,
- BOLO.

Four male suspects, teenagers,
Caucasian, African-American,

and Hispanic.

Suspects are driving a--

Suspects are on bicycles.

- 10-4.-

Come on, Skip.
You called the cops?

I mean, you couldn't have
given me a heads-up?

-Skip, ready?
-Yeah, in a few minutes.

I'll be right with you.
Thank you.

Look, I'm trying
to get our charter back.

The one thing that can't happen
is they escaped, Greg.

They didn't escape.

They went for a ride.

They what?

Yeah, I-- I filled their heads

with a bunch of stuff about
getting bonus miles

in the morning before breakfast.

It's my fault.

Who do you think
you're fooling with this?

Listen, Skip, it's better
if all of this

is just a big misunderstanding,
right?

Okay, let's say it is.

-What about the local sheriff?
-What about him?

I-- I mean, it's four kids
on bicycles.

Where's the crime in that?

Oh, hell.

Look, I want them all accounted
for by the end of the day.

Do you understand?

-All of ‘em.
-Got it.

Skip, I owe you one.

You owe me four.

Goodbye.

Shit.

Haddie?

Still pumping.

I spoke to Bowman.

He's gonna look the other way
if we find the boys, okay?

Oh, good.

Then they'll only have
to deal with me.

I should be there in uh,
about two hours.

Okay, cool.

I should be able to catch up
with you as long as--

You have got to be kidding me!

These little motherfuck--

Hey, Flagstaff coming up.

Woolbright, you son of a bitch,
this might work.

I told you.

Y'all good?

Yeah, I'm good.

Let's get it.

No cars? Good.

Wait.

- Wait.
- Yo!

Hey, Smink!

Hey, Smink!

What's he doing? Smink?

What you doing, Smink?

Gotta go this way, man.

I'm going this way.

Nah, man, no way.

Look, don't screw this up
for us.

I won't.

Just not gonna screw it up
for me either.

I want to see the Grand Canyon.

Man, forget the Grand Canyon.

I'm about to do things my way
from here on out.

You know what?
Hell yeah.

Fly to Flagstaff
and bust out of here, right?

- Like we talked about.
- Exactly.

Oh, yeah?

And then what are you gonna do,
‘Tence?

Think about that?

You gonna go back
to your homies?

Pretend like they actually care
about you,

like they're not why you're here
in the first place?

You're always talking
about wanting a crew.

Well, this is our crew.

Right here.

This group.

This peloton, this little ball.

But you know
what takes big balls?

That.

If you wanna go, Smink, go.

And go to hell
for all I care. Go.

-Okay, I will.
-Yeah, go.

Yeah.

Come on, we outta here, man.

But I-- I don't know

if I can do it by myself,
though.

You know, we've been--
we've been drafting

for each other this whole time.

And I don't know how many miles
I got on me solo.

But I'm gonna try.

Rice?

That.

‘Tence?

Thought Ridgeview couldn't hold
back a hard-ass gangbanger

like you.

It can't, homes.

It ain't really try
to hold me, though, so...

What about your cuz's crew?

You're supposed to take over,
get two Escalades, man,

all that shit?

My cousin's in jail, bro.

His Escalades impounded, bro.

He's in jail for murder, bro.

I don't wanna... Shit.

You weak, man.

You're all talk.

Oh, you too, Rice?

I don't wanna kill
anybody either.

You're in for truancy!

-You're not killing anybody!
-Come on, Woolie!

You don't know how things
will go.

They might cut you loose.

Or they might send me away.

-All right.
-Bro.

Woolie.

Come on, let's do this, man.

We're close.
Let's do this as a team.

We never really were a team
in the first place.

That's not true.

You all enjoy the Grand Canyo.

Bro.

Woolie?

Let's do this.

Let's lose these.

You lead, Smink.

Yes, Greg?

Haddie, you almost there?

No, I am not almost there.

Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on a sec.

Nah.

Four old white dudes.

Look, I can't talk right now,
okay?

I'm on a mission.

Hey, guys, you know when
the Grand Canyon starts?

‘Cause I don't know,
this-- this looks pretty grand

to me.

I don't know.

But I wanna see the whole thing.

Yo, yo, yo, look, look, look!

Smink, get down, get down,
get down!

Get down over here.

I cannot believe they left me
out in this hot-ass shit!

Shit!

Ma'am, I'm gonna need to ask you
to watch your language, please.

Shit, I'm sorry. Sorry.

Woo!

- Check it out.
- Ah, shit.

-Here we are, boys!
-Rice, look!

I know!

Hey! Guys!

If we keep riding,
does it get grander?

Hey, Haddie, it's Greg.
We better, uh--

We better call the sheriff.

Hold on a sec.

Ho!

-Ho!-Ho!

They're here

They're here!

Hey!

Ho!

Oh, hell no!
Oh, we going full GTA, go.

Go, go, go!

Attention, fugitive cyclist!

-Smink!
-Come on!

Enter the pain cave.

That.

Yo, that sounds like Haddie,
right.

Is that Haddie?

-It's me!
-Hey!

-That's crazy!
-Hey!

Keep your cadence!

Yo, sorry about the tires,
Haddie.

-Sorry.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-It wasn't my idea.
-Shut up and climb!

-Alright, alright, alright.
-Come on, Haddie, let's race!

Ho!

Wooh!

Hey, Coach!

Looking good.

Ho!

Ho!

-Haddie.-Smink.

-Hey.
-How many miles?

More than me?

Come here, man.

-Come here.
-Oh my God.

I'm gonna die.

I'm gonna die.

Oh, I feel like--
I'm just hot.

Let's go.

You did it.
Hey, where's Woolbright?

Um...

Well, guys.

It's all right.
You did good.

- Yeah, yeah.
- You made it.

-Come on.
-We made it.

Come on, let's go look
at the canyon.

-Come on.
-Yeah.

Come on.

What caused this?

Earthquake?

Wind, water...

and a hell of a lot of time.

How's it make you feel?

-Small.-Okay.

Grande.

Hungry.

Well, I don't think that's
the Grand Canyon, Rice.

-Thank you, Haddie.
-Good to see you.

Hello, Woolbright.

-Woolie!
-Hey, Woolie!

My boy!

Bro, what's up, man?

- Bro, you came back, man.
- Yeah, man.

-You gotta go check this out.
-Come on. Let's go.

-Oh, no, you're not ready.
-Eyes down.

It's crazy.

You know whatever you thought,

-like think again.
-Alright. Eyes down, eyes do.

Listen, I'll tell you
when to look.

- Let's go.
- All right.

- Wait, wait, don't look yet.
- Wait, wait. I'ma guide you.

I got you.

Okay, don't--

Don't get him too close
to the edge.

It's dangerous.
It's dangerous.

Watch the rocks,
watch the rocks.

-I got you.
-Bro, when you're ready, look.

-Take a second.
-Go, go.

It's what's up.

Right?

You almost ready?

Almost.

What do you think, huh?

Honestly...

this shit grand as fuck.

That's 10 push-ups.

But I'll let you slide
this time.

Good man.

You think they'll shut down
Ridgeview?

Oh, I don't know.

I hope not.

But if it happens...

what are we gonna do?

We'll do our best.

We'll do our very best.

And everything will be fine.

Yeah.

You know what this trip
has taught me?

Just keep going.

That's right.

You just keep going.

So, what happens now?

What do you mean,
what happens now?

- We ride back.
- Hell no.

- Nah, nah, Coach.
- No.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- I'm not riding--

I didn't say ride back
on bicycles.

I got some jackasses.

'Cause, you know?

I know you, eh.

Wooh.

I feel like a free man.

- You telling me.
- Hey, is he always so serious?

We still got a box
of butt butter here.

What are we gonna do with tha?
