02x08 - High Flying

[bunniefuu]

[JACK] Previously on Heels...

Tell them that they need to
sell me on why they should

be the ones to help Continuum

launch its new
wrestling league, corporation...

whatever the hell it is
we're calling it this week.

I got hours to impress
someone that I don't know

who's got questions
about I don't know what,

and he-he said that
four different times:

"You gotta impress her".

Jack, you impress someone
by just walking into a room.

The Condamned and Crystal will
both be at the event next week.

- Harmageddon, divided we stand.
- [LAUGHTER]

[GULLY] Hey, Willie, you know what?

I know you don't respect me,
but you gotta respect

the fact that I know talent
and I know what to do with it.

And just like
what I've done with Rooster,

I wanna do the same
for Crystal, but also for you.

[JACK] I need your help.
We need to impress

this corporate Continuum lady tomorrow.

I know they're looking at Dystopia

'cause that's where we met Brooks.

But we need to out Gully Gully.

So what do you wanna do exactly?

I just wanna be useful.

- [PERSON] When can you start?
- [ACE] Uh, yesterday.

The DWL is what you and me do.

Ace has a different destiny.

[JACK] When Bill came to you
with a golden ticket

just for you, I was not prepared.

[STACI] Hey, I heard about Ace.

That's a big opportunity.

That's exciting.
That's so great for him.

Yup.

It knocked me down.

There's two kinds of women.

There are women who get taken care of.

That's you. And then there's me.

I get dirty and I fix sh*t,
so you don't have to spend

a single second worrying about
unfixed sh*t.

What's going on here, Willie?

What if knowing stuff means finding out

the DWL can't keep itself
afloat legally and never has?

Is that really something you wanna know?

[STACI] There's a lotta stuff
in those boxes.

- [JACK] Like what?
- [STACI] Shady stuff.

Consequential if discovered.

I think your dad did stuff
that could make

everything that we rebuilt
all get destroyed,

and I have no idea what to do about it.

I hate him.

[TOM] The sh**ting Star Press?

Jack, that was terrible.

What the f*ck are you thinking?

I'm trying to add some aerials
to my move set.

You can't be adding flippity-dos

you can't even do into a foam pit.

It's not a good use of your energy.

It's not in your wheelhouse.
Save it for the pool.

Can't be begging God for
new gifts at your age, son.

You're not a high-flyer, Jack.
You never will be.

The pursuit of versatility is a vice.

You can't look at every limitation

as something that has to be overcome.

Just accept that God
doesn't give with both hands,

but don't forget what he did give you.

You're great on the mic, you're solid,

you retain muscle without much effort,

but you got the quads
and the thighs of a catcher.

You're a grappler, Jack. A technician.

Be a good base.

You're not gonna suddenly
be a "Butterfly Man".

Put over the guys
who can pull this sh*t off.

[SIGHS] Dad, I'm just trying to...

What? Turn yourself into Rey Mysterio?

That ain't gonna happen.
We are who we are, Jack.

I can't do this sh*t either.

Only athlete in this family
who can is Ace.

Thankfully, he's got bigger
and better plans now.

Work smart, God damn it.

Hey, Kenneth, how we doing today?

The same.

You wanna play a game?

[ACE LAUGHS SOFTLY]

Bonnie, I'm so grateful you could

come all the way out here.
I know you're busy.

I just... I knew if people
downtown saw me

walking into your law office...

No need to apologise, Staci.

Any excuse to see ya outside
of church is a good one.

And I don't really wanna
go into my office either.

Ah, God, sorry.
I'm... sick about all this.

Bonnie, is what we discuss protected?

Legally, I mean.

I mea... I mean,
it's confidential, right?

You got any change in that purse?

I'm sure I do.

[BONNIE] Grab me a dime.

Would you like my legal advice

during this initial consultation?

Yes.

Hand me the dime please.

Once that dime is in my hand,

it will ensure that anything we discuss

will be protected.

Great. Now, what's troubling you?

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, and... and Jack and I
are great, by the way.

That's not what this is about.

The DWL's not so much.

Nice job bailing on class, p*ssy.

When's the flight?

Three. but I'm not going,

and you calling me a p*ssy's
insulting to women everywhere.

Dickface, you're coming to
Georgia with me for this event.

You can do the paperwork for
Palm Springs when you get back.

It's an escrow thing.

I own a home. I know what escrow is.

- You don't gotta be there.
- I do.

Caitlyn should go.

If we don't start letting her
experience bigger stuff,

she'll quit.

Caitlyn didn't scout
these wrestling people.

I'm not gonna know what I'm looking at.

- You'll have Caitlyn.
- I don't like Caitlyn.

I don't think you like me.

- I don't.
- [LAUGHS]

[JEN] But it's a familiar dislike.

The Condamned and
that, um, Crystal chick

- are gonna be there, right?
- [BROOKS] Yeah.

I'm not gonna go if they're not
gonna be wrestling.

Jack has assured me that they're both

gonna be in the show, the match.

They are both gonna be in the match.

Before you get to Duffy,
I did a little bit of research.

I think these two guys
actually hate each other.

For real. Charlie Gully
has a lawsuit out

against Jack Spade for personal injury.

There's footage of the fight on YouTube.

Let's step that back.
The likelihood of a man

"punching" another man
in professional wrestling

and causing actual injury seems low.

[BROOKS] Look, the audience
chasing after Jack

to kick his ass is real.
The lawsuit is real.

I'm not sure how these guys
are gonna take

to us blending their promotions.

Brooks, where'd you get your MBA?

Wharton School of Business.

Me? I went the University
of New Hampshire.

Also known as Peter T. Paul College

of Business and Economics.

You know what I learned
at Peter T. Paul College

of Business and Economics
that I presume you learned

at Wharton School of Nursing
is that you don't tell anybody

anything that you want them to do

that they may not want to do

until you have them under contract.

What if they don't like
working with each other

once we have them under contract?

What do you think
a binding contract is for?

You're gonna be in charge of making sure

that these two companies work together.

You're gonna have to
explain it to them, not me.

Be nice to Caitlyn, okay?

She doesn't know that
you're jokin' all the time.

I'm not joking all the time.

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]

[DEBBIE] Oh, hey, boss.
We got the new Crystal merch.

We got ladies cut

and we got extra-extra small

'cause they love Crystal
whether she's good or bad.

- Thank you, Debbie.
- [DEBBIE] You're welcome.

- [POWER THRUMS DOWN]
- [WILD BILL] Care not

a whit, Jack, not a single whit.

Gully's lighting package
is straining our power grid.

Backup generators are being delivered.

Hey, hey, hey. How'd
the meeting with Bonnie go?

Please tell me you didn't run into

people in town going
into her law office.

She came to our house discreetly,

and the takeaway was
that right now she said...

we shouldn't try to break into jail.

She said since people aren't asking,

we don't need to go telling,

which doesn't make me
feel any better about it.

But we gotta get those banker
boxes out of the building.

I don't know where they're
goin', but they can't be here.

And she said Willie's gotta
tell us the truth, all of it,

no matter where it leads.

If this thing is built on
a house of sand, so be it.

Least we know it.

Okay.

- [POWER DOWN THRUM]
- [ELECTRIC BUZZING]

[GULLY] Yeah, my buddy
Tom Welch works in

the admissions office at Michigan,

and I'll make sure
he flags Robin's application.

Y-you don't have to do that.

What's the point of having old friends?

He loves helping people.

Thank you so much, Mr. Gully.

[GULLY] I'm happy to do it.

I know how stressful
this process can be.

I went through it with
my daughter last year.

- [ROBIN] Where's she going?
- Notre Dame!

I gave Robin a journal
with a Knute Rockne quote.

- [SMALL LAUGH]
- Tell him, Robin, go 'head.

"Courage means bein'
afraid to do something,

but still doing it".

I need that journal!

- [TED LAUGHS]
- Where'd you get that?

- Barns & Noble.
- They still open?

[TED] Oh, yeah. love that place.

Well, anyways, thank you.

[GULLY] Yeah, hey, Ted.

[TED] And, uh, we'll leave you
to your work talk.

[GULLY] Okay.
Uh, Robin, it's gonna be fine

wherever you end up going.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- Yeah, she's a good kid.

Nice family.

I don't really need that coffee.

Really? "Tick-tock, Fucky"?

Look, let's just... [EXHALES] you know,

let... let... let's put that behind us.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay? I'm trying to be respectful here.

I'm not raging, I'm not kickin'

or breaking anything or doing
the whole Irish hothead thing.

I'm offering both you
and Crystal an opportunity.

She can continue
to be a guest at the DWL.

I'm willing to work with
whatever it is she wants to do.

End of the day, I run a business.

I want that business to succeed,

so I continue to look
for ways to make it succeed.

This is one of the ways.

If you decide that Dystopia

isn't a good move
for Crystal's career right now,

no hard feelings, okay?

You and I return to profane repartee

in our usual loving fashion.

However, if you decide to pursue this,

let's paper the deal.

Continuum's interest in us
is just telling me

that others are gonna be interested.

All right.

I'll see myself to the door.

Before I go,

I want you to take these as a deposit.

If we move forward with the contract,

consider it an advance.

One pouch for Crystal.
One pouch for you.

- [THUMP]
- If not,

we'll figure it out down the line.

I know where you live.

But I gotta have
your answer tonight, Willie.

I'm moving on one way or the other.

Is there a sound or word that
you're interested in uttering

to signal that you just absorbed

and considered anything I just said?

Okay.

Thank you again.

Hope to hear from you soon.

[WILLIE EXHALES]

- [WILLIE SIGHS]
- [STACI] Willie,

- what are we doin'?
- [WILLIE] Hey, come see.

[STACI] Why do you wanna show me this?

[WILLIE] Parcels of property
are all zoned differently,

which means they're all
taxed differently.

You know the kinds of property

that have significantly lower tax rates?

Agricultural ones.

Farms.

But even a little one
like this, once a year

someone's gotta come out from
the tax commissioner's office

and inspect the property.

They give our crops a quick look

and ask for some kind of proof
that we're selling 'em,

and check a single box
on a single form...

tax rates stay low.

It's the Spade Family Farm.

Been run by the family for generations.

Well, one generation, I guess.

Not surprisingly,
we haven't had a year yet

where we turned a profit,
but operating at a loss,

that's a whole other tax issue.

Some farms even get public assistance

if they have to
sell their crops at a loss.

[STACI] My God.

Remember that stuff I said to you

about knowing and not knowing?

Well, now you know this part.

Guess I'm relieved.

It's nicer than I thought it'd be...

handin' it off to you.

[WILLIE] Come see.

You gotta buy a lot of stuff
when you run a farm.

[SIGHS] Supplies, equipment.

You gotta keep the receipts

for the supplies and equipment
so you get the tax write-off.

Sometimes you buy things
you never even use.

So you sell those things,

but you still got the receipts.

Oh, and sometimes you buy
things that don't even exist...

tractor, industrial mower.

Leckie Lawn Care was always
great about giving us receipts

even when we walked outta
there with nothing at all.

- Jack?
- Tom.

Did you forget he worked there first?

He and Leckie Sr. were fishing buddies.

[CLICKS TONGUE] So now, you know.

Willie.

I'm not one of the two kinds
of women you mentioned.

I'm the kind who faces things
head on as they are.

So fix it, Stace.

Mama, can I... can I say something?

I can't really say it
to anybody but you.

- Always.
- [ACE EXHALES]

[ACE] The day dad sh*t himself

and I ran down the stairs
and I found him...

didn't step towards him...
I stepped back.

I mean, I looked at him for
a second and then I looked away

and I thought, "I can't put his face

where the b*llet went in
and came out back together".

I couldn't even think of
anything comforting to say

even as his soul was
watching me be so useless.

I couldn't even say like...

"Be free, Dad.

Your burdens are gone. Be free".

I just kept crying.

I just kept saying,
"Why, why, why, why, why?"

Instead of calling .

I was a coward that day.

He didn't survive the g*nsh*t.

[SNIFFLES] It's...

[SIGHS] Scary way to be right now.

It's frightening 'cause I feel
this... this growth inside of me,

but Mama...

God caused that growth.

I'm God's field. God's farm.

He planted this yearning inside
of me to be more of a person

than just chasing after
some selfish thing.

I mean, our job as people
is to help each other

find these little moments
of elation between the-the toil

and the uncertainty and
the struggle, the goin' after,

the gettin', and the-the-the winning.

My whole life, I was
focused on how to win.

I was turning into a competitor

for amateur sports when...

I shoulda been cultivating kindness.

[CAROL] Ace...

I made a big mistake this past year.

I tried to face the horror

of what your daddy did with dignity.

Accept it. Move on.

Only recently I realised
that was a terrible mistake

because to honour horror is to
give it a place of importance.

I wanted to overcome it, move past it,

before facing it,

admitting what it was: horrible.

[SMALL LAUGH]

Loving someone is surprising in ways

you don't expect
when you first fall in love.

The longer you live with someone,

their disappointments become yours,

their sadness, their pain,

and that's what love should be.

A harbor. A shelter.

But when you discover that loving people

can't make 'em happy anymore...

You feel useless

where you used to feel useful.

Feelin' called to something
is a good thing, Ace.

Just consider what
that calling is tied to,

because sometimes the thing

that we are called to
can break our hearts.

Even when it starts from love.

We got the Fair 'cause I'd been fired,

just happened to be in town.

because we are good.

Tonight... we have a chance to be great.
