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 that?

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 spell check?

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
clip less 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, Greg,

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 road?

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 us.

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 good.

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 now.

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 sun burnt.

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.

Greg.

That was Bowman.

- 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 bigger

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 with?

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 mother fuck...

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 Canyon.

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 cyclists!

- 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 down.

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 that?
