Yeah!
Let's move it! Get in!
Yah!
Let her go. Let her go. Stop!
State Junior High
Champion John Wright, 21 and O,
Northwest District Champ,
he hasn't lost this year.
From Garfield,
Senior John Wright.
This is the Washington
State Championship.
...the mat, and even though
he's way up high,
he's been in control
of the match all the way.
John Wright is dominating
at these Olympic trials.
I do have
one other announcement
this morning
with regards
to an executive board decision.
The American wrestler
John Wright,
he has been sanctioned
by the IOC
for failing an antidoping test.
- Push off!
- You better hit something.
Get the leg! There it is!
- You got him.
- There you go!
- Way to work.
- Shake.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
- It's all right, man.
Scott!
Scott!
Any more challenges?
What are you sitting around for?
Move! Spin drills.
Michael Miller.
Yeah?
You're under arrest.
Turn around, please.
What for?
Come here.
Come on. Give me your hand.
What's going on, Doug?
Carol?
Ask him.
Pause it! Right there!
You see that?
He's stealing it right there!
That's $40 worth
of New York strip!
Who were these other boys?
Would you wait outside, please?
You both know
what this family's situation is.
I'll pay you for the steaks, Al.
Hey, I'm tired of these punks
coming into my store
and ripping me off. Now,
I want to press charges, Doug.
Al, just a second, eh?
We can't I.D. those other kids,
and if he's not gonna tell us,
there's not much I can do.
Eh, well, I can I.D. him.
Doug.
He did shoplift, Frank.
If Al wants to press charges,
I can't stop him.
What about community service?
I'll put him to work
at the firehouse.
I-I want him to pay
for the steaks, not you.
So, look,
you're gonna miss some practice.
You gotta
keep yourself in shape.
And Scott's gonna wrestle Colfax
this week.
It's better
than the alternative.
All right, you report to Keith.
He'll get you started.
I'm sorry.
My mom wasn't feeling well.
I'm sure she'll be
calling you soon.
Whenever she's up to it.
Hey, look!
It's Terry Turtle!
Joanna, get me a drink.
Mommy, look what I made.
Wow.
That's pretty.
So, Michael...
you want to explain to me
why you had to be picked up
at the jailhouse today?
Way to go.
How do you think
that makes me look?
I asked you a question.
- Bad.
- Yeah.
You know,
Coach told us to eat protein.
All there is here is cereal
and macaroni and cheese.
I see carrots on your plate.
So you think carrots
are protein?
They're healthy, aren't they?
What are we supposed to do,
have tri-tip every night
just for you
when I can't even pay
the important bills?
Then get a job.
You get a job!
I'm going out.
Yeah, go steal some meat!
- Menu hasn't changed much.
- Hmm.
Oh, we all... all offer
some heart-healthy dishes.
They have that little carrot
by them, so...
Yeah, well,
I'll have the meatloaf.
Okay. And would you like soup,
salad, or fries with that?
I'll do the fries.
Fries. All right.
And to drink?
- Uh, vani...
- Vanilla milkshake?
It takes a lot
to shock me, okay?
I have to text Bobby
right now.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe he's back.
- Oh.
- Thanks.
No pie tonight, Pete?
It's apple rhubarb.
I've lost my appetite.
Oh.
How much I owe you?
Um, 36.17.
Here. Just keep it.
Come on.
Can I get you ladies
anything else?
Information?
- Hey.
- Hi, Frank.
Order up!
- You coming back?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Here you go.
John?
John.
I don't believe it.
Sure has been a long time,
hasn't it?
Yeah.
When'd you get in town?
This morning.
Sorry about your mom.
Thank you.
How long you here for?
Mm...
guess until I sell the property.
Pretty piece of land.
Wish I had the money, but...
Yeah. Me, too.
- Hey, Peggy.
- Huh?
Can I get some of that
awful pie of yours to go?
It's apple rhubarb.
Well, if that's all you have.
Uh-huh. Yeah, I do.
Just don't gyp me
on the slice.
Hey, John,
what are you doing Sunday?
Hadn't really thought
that far ahead.
Why don't you come for dinner?
I know Annie
would love to see you.
Well, you think about it.
I know you got
a lot on your plate.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Good night.
See you, son.
Coach.
Night, Coach.
Good night, ladies.
Check this out.
He looks hungry.
Hey, baby.
- I'll call you tonight.
- Bye.
What's going on?
I don't know.
Okay, everyone,
show's over!
Go on to your next class.
We'll get this cleaned up.
I need to get my book.
Annie's the one
that usually does this.
They're her kids now...
with everybody
all grown up and out.
How is Jerry?
He's good.
He and Lisanne just bought
a new house over in Lewiston.
I appreciate you
having me over, Frank.
I don't expect
too many invitations,
you know, while I'm here.
Ah, you probably shouldn't.
Yeah.
Hey...
don't go traveling backwards.
We all mistakes.
- Yeah.
- Let's leave it that way.
Okay?
Should stop by the firehouse
and say hello to the guys.
Yeah.
Maybe I'll do that.
Frank! Honey!
Hey, Frank!
Um, sorry.
I didn't know you had company.
I would have called,
but I couldn't find my phone.
I lost my phone.
They turned it off.
Okay.
What's wrong, Melinda?
Is it the kids?
Yeah!
He's my son! So I'm the one
that's gonna be getting him
when he's in trouble, okay,
not you.
You're not family.
Okay. Melinda,
we tried to reach you.
When we couldn't,
we didn't know what to do.
Joanna was worried
that you'd be upset.
I said you'd be more upset
if I let him sit in jail.
I just wish
I could control him.
He's bad.
- He's bad...
- He's not.
'cause I'm a bad mom.
I'm such a bad mom.
No wonder he hates me.
Look at me.
It's okay.
- That's Joanna.
- Are you kidding me?
Uh-uh!
Get back in the car!
You get in the car!
Melinda, look.
She's probably
just concerned for you.
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.
I'm a little toasted.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
John...
you remember me?
I used to baby-sit you.
Of course I do, Melinda.
You used to make me
root-beer snow-cones.
Did I?
Can you let Joanna
take you home now?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Everything'll
seem better tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's all right.
It's okay.
I'm gonna walk you back.
Okay.
Morning.
Morning.
I have a, uh, appointment
with Bobby Baker.
Thanks.
John Wright.
Bobby.
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Lori said she saw you
the other night.
I give you this, Wright.
You got a lot of guts
showing your face around here.
Anyhow, what's up?
Well, I'm, uh,
trying to fix up my mom's house
so I can sell it,
and I was hoping to get a loan.
There's two years worth
of back payments
due on that property.
Yeah. No, I know.
Can you pay it?
Ah, I mean, some of it.
How much?
I'd say a couple months.
Yeah. Yeah,
that's not gonna do it.
You're gonna... You're gonna
have to bring it current.
Well, Bobby, that's why
I'm here trying to get a loan.
Yeah, we're...
we're talking past each other.
I can't lend money on a mortgage
that's 24 months in default.
I only let your mom
stay out there
because I felt sorry for her.
Obviously...
she'd been through it.
Look...
I can't loan you the money,
because I'm foreclosing
on the property,
but here's what I'll do.
I'll give you a couple months
to get her stuff out of there.
Okay, now hold on, Bobby.
If I start making payments,
legally you can't foreclose.
You've been to law school?
I can do anything I want.
You're not
the star here anymore.
No one cares about you
or your problems.
You got two months,
and you're out of there.
So...
if there's nothing else...
I got a lot of work
to do, buddy.
You got everything?
Careful on there.
John?
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi...
Sorry.
I wasn't sure that was you.
Yeah, you look different.
Yeah. How you doing?
Oh, I'm great.
Thank you. How are you?
I'm good.
Hey, Dad, look who it is.
It's John.
Oh, my goodness.
Of course it is.
Nice to see you again, John.
You, too, Pastor.
Hey, Dad, you go on in,
and I'll wait out here.
Okay.
You're back in Garfield?
Yeah, back in Garfield.
Yeah, not much
has changed here.
Mm, no.
- No.
- Mm.
I'm sorry about Eva.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
Yeah.
So, uh,
what have you been up to?
Oh. Well,
I'm the school nurse.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
Can you believe that?
And, um, I work
with Dr. Hendrickson part time.
- Okay.
- And, uh...
You know, you look great.
Oh. Thanks.
What about you? What's, uh...
Where have you
been hiding yourself?
Or not... You know, not hiding.
You don't...
I'm on my... my Mom's place,
staying there right now.
Oh.
Well, I hate
to break up this reunion,
but we really have to get out
to the Elkin farm.
- Right, we do...
- Okay.
because they're
donating hams to us
this year
for the Christmas drive, so...
All righty.
John, I'm sure
I'll see you again.
Yes, sir. Elizabeth.
Yeah, see you around.
Good job, Ronnie.
Get that hair cut.
All right, listen.
Need you to be safe, okay?
Go, Scotty!
- Come on, ref!
- Unintentional!
Unintentional!
Come on! Clean it up, ref!
You okay?
Let's keep this clean.
Yeah!
You can do it.
Get in there, ref!
Pin him, baby!
Watch your back!
Squeeze down! Squeeze!
That's it! Pin!
- Yeah!
- That's the way to do it.
Nice job!
Yes. Yes.
Attaboy. Attaboy.
- That's it.
- Attaboy.
Way to go, right?
Come on.
Hey, Frank.
Hey, John.
Uh-oh. Somebody call security.
Hey there, Witt.
- Hey, Keith.
- Do I know you?
Ah, hey, stranger.
Better late than never, eh?
You guys look the same.
- Oh, yeah, I'm sure we do.
- Yep.
I'm still handsome.
Hey, John, I, uh,
just made a fresh pot.
You want a cup?
Yeah, love one.
- Sit down.
- All right.
Hey, you know, uh,
we could use
an extra hand around here.
I'm, uh, starting to worry
about these old guys.
I bet we still
have your mug, too.
Facedown, Jamie.
Three minutes, people.
And Allen loses control
of the ball,
and that gets the Wildcats
going the other way...
How's that?
...fresh shot clock.
And knocks it in.
Thank you.
Put it in the center here.
Come back tomorrow
after school, all right?
Yeah. I'll see you then.
One of my wrestlers.
Appreciate you doing this.
No problem. You sure you
don't need any help out there?
Nah, nah. I'll manage.
I'll get it back to you
as soon as I can.
Hey, John.
Good to have you back.
Thanks.

I'll take you out

No, I know I don't

Mm, Friday's good, yeah.
Oh, good.

- All right.
It's good to see you.
You, too.
Have a good night.
Hey, John?
Saw the light on.
You got a minute?
Yeah, I got a minute.
Place hasn't changed much.
Listen, um, I think
we got off to a bad start,
and it's my fault.
You deserve better
than you got from me, and I...
just I want to apologize.
I bear you no ill will.
Oh, yeah? Okay.
Hey, good.
So I thought that you and I
might have a little talk.
About what?
Well, I been thinking about
your situation with this place,
and bank issues aside,
in its present condition...
you're not gonna see
any money of it.
- Uh-huh.
- The land is nothing
but scab rock,
and... and the house
is gonna cost a lot of money
to get it right.
But...
I think I have a fix.
A fix, huh?
I know that, uh, you had
a soft spot for Frank Stevens.
I mean, we all loved him.
He was a real mentor,
and I'm sure it must have been
hard for you to face him again.
Now that he's gone,
I imagine there has to be
some regret, right?
Whatever my regrets are,
Bobby,
that's my business.
You understand me?
I'm only trying to point out...
Eh, what are you doing here?
What do you want?
Okay, I'm gonna
be honest with you.
I'm very concerned
about the wrestling team.
- Uh-huh.
- I think there's an opportunity
for you to do the right thing
for this town,
and maybe I can help you find
a way out of your... your mess.
By coaching the team?
That's right.
Hmm.
Your son on the team?
- Scott is the team.
- Hmm.
He's the only one with a shot.
Okay, I'm not good
at mincing words.
I'm prepared to pay you
out of my own pocket
$150,000 cash for this property.
In return,
here's what I need from you.
Whatever it takes...
you make sure
he makes it to State.
What do you say?
We got a deal?
We have an understanding?
Can we be big boys here
and work together on this?
What's my guarantee
that you're gonna pay me, Bobby?
I give you my word.
Okay, fine.
I'll wire $75,000
into your account now,
and the other... rest of the money
when you deliver.
Nah, I don't have
a bank account.
Well, we can
take care of that.
Just come to the bank.
Got a deal?
Excellent.
Get ready to start on Monday.
Good luck
cleaning this place up, man.
Why would you want
to mess with that guy?
Hey.
You ready?
Excellent move.
Uh, I guess.
Are you?
Not at all.
Then maybe
you should be studying.
I know, but I'm not.
Are you doing well
in this class?
Why?
I don't know.
Just trying
to make conversation.
Why don't you ever come
to our Christmas party?
I didn't know I was invited.
Well...
we don't invite people.
I mean, everyone's invited.
All right, everyone!
Settle, please!
All right, settle down, people.
You should come.
Watch out.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You are definitely
the big news around here.
- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
How 'bout that?
You excited?
Yeah, sure.
Well, I'm this way.
- Okay.
- So you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
We still on for Friday?
Yeah. I'll see you then.
Okay.
Okay let me go.
Go.
God! Dude, what are you doing?
Where are you at, man?
Go again.
Chill out, man.
It's no big deal.
- Hey! Stop what you're doing.
- What?
Let's go. Stand up.
Let's line up over here.
Come on. Let's go.
Um...
My name is John Wright,
and I'll be filling in
until the school
finds you guys a new coach.
You were
in the Olympics, right?
Thrown out.
What? You were, right?
What's your name, man?
Scott Baker.
Hmm.
Yes, I was.
Steroids, right?
Tomorrow is your last chance
for a wrestle-off
before the break.
So who's challenging?
What's your name?
Ronnie Leadman.
Who you wrestling?
Duncan.
All right.
Michael, what about you?
Me.
Okay.
I'll tell you what.
Uh, I'll get the rest
of your guys' names later
so we don't waste any time.
Let's see what you got.
Michael, will you
put this on the table?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
Oh, hey.
Uh, these...
are from Mrs. Phelps.
Hmm.
Excuse me.
What are you
supposed to do with these?
I thought this was settled.
You're not even
in school anymore.
Wh-Why is she
still pushing this?
I don't know.
I guess she thought
I should take a look
or something.
You really see this happening?
Well, she wouldn't
be giving 'em to her
if she didn't think
she had a shot.
Well, is she giving 'em
to her, or is she loaning 'em?
What's the difference?
Because I'm sure
she wants 'em back.
Okay.
I'm just saying there's no way
she hands out those things
and doesn't expect them back,
so don't mess 'em up.
- They're yours.
- Thanks.
I don't want her to go.
Don't worry, honey.
She's not going anywhere.
Come here.
She's not going anywhere,
'cause she knows we just
couldn't manage without her.
We just couldn't handle it.
No way.
Katie, will you
wash your hands, please?
I'm, uh, wrestling
Scott Baker tomorrow
for the starting spot.
If I beat him,
I go to conference.
What's this?
Chicken enchiladas.
I hope I like it.
What are the green things?
Scallions.
Oh. Well...
aren't you the little gourmet?
Anyway, it's in front
of the entire school,
and I think a lot of parents
are gonna show up.
Uh, John Wright coaching,
sure they will.
This town, people have no lives.
Well, if you want to come,
it's at 2:00.
I can't.
I think A.J.'s
supposed to do my hair.
Yeah, well, that's important.
Let's go. Keep wrestling.
- Let's go. Keep wrestling.
- Go!
- Go, Scott!
- Come on, Scott!
h*! Out of bounds!
Out of bounds!
Back to the center.
Back to the center.
Come on, Coach!
- Come on, Scott.
- You got this, bro.
Two!
That's the end of the period.
Come on, Mike.
Top man, set.
You got this, man.
Come on, Scott. Get up.
- One!
- Yeah! There you go.
That's it! That's it!
Go! Get him!
Two!
Come on, Mike. Get him up.
- Go on!
- Whoa.
Pin it down. Pin it down.
Touch it.
Yeah!
I was out of pin.
I had one shoulder on the mat.
- Shake his hand.
- Are you kidding me?
Shake his hand.
Yeah, man. You lost.
Nice one.
Good. I'll be right back.
Whoo!
Okay, let's go.
Keep up the good work, John.

Jamie, I think you better

There's a lot of people
to say hello to.
I'll get to them.
Start with Scotty.
He's fine.
I don't have to do that.
You do tonight.
It's nice meeting you.
Honey, how come
you took your hair down?
You know how pretty you look
with your face showing.
I like it better this way.
Okay.
Hi, you guys.

Oh, yeah.
- Sorry.
- That's okay.
Um, what about next week?
Can I take you out?
Uh...
yeah. We'll see.
Why don't you go home
and get some rest,
and maybe next time you see me,
you can find me interesting.
Well, good night, John.
Good night.
- Where you going, man?
- You know what, Miller?
Whoo-hoo!
Yeah, what's up now, Miller?
Good shot!
How's that feel, Miller?!
Come on, Scott! Get him!
Come on, Scott!
You want to be
with my girlfriend, huh?!
Come on, stand up, fireman.
He's crawling.
He's crawling. He's crawling.
Get up!
Don't help him, Ronnie.
Don't look for help, fireman!
- Come on.
- Scott!
- You gotta stop.
- Get off!
Scott, you're gonna
k*ll him, man. Stop!
Scott, that's enough!
Let's go! Let's go!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, son.
Come on.
You're gonna be all right.
Dad, you got him?
Okay, all right.
Here we go. Here we go.
You're doing good, really good.
Okay, all right, stay awake.
Hey, Dad, call Dr. Hendrickson.
Hold on.
There you are.
I know.
There you go.
All right,
the four on top are apple.
The rest are pecan.
And, uh, they're all labeled
so I don't have to look
in every box?
Yes, Miss Peggy.
They're all labeled.
You're a good boy.
Ohh.
It's a good thing
you preordered this year.
I learned that lesson
last year, not to be repeated.
Now, you had two apple
and two pecan,
and one chocolate cream.
That sound right?
Yeah. Here you go.
Oh. Oh, uh, Deck!
Pastor's here
for the church order!
Let's see here.
You get any sleep
last night, Philip?
Eh, not a whole lot,
but more than some other folks.
He didn't happen
to talk about, uh...
what or how it went down,
did he?
Nah, it's all
about fixing him up.
What?
Miller boy,
viciously attacked last night.
Oh, no. Is he okay?
Well, banged up pretty good,
but he's hanging in there.
Well, do we know who did it?
The boy's saying
it's too dark to see.
Unless he wants to talk,
there's not much we can do.
I'm gonna take
one of these over there...
see if he'll open up a bit.
- Good.
- Thanks, Peg.
You're welcome.
Yeah, thanks, Peggy.
You're welcome, Pastor.

John! John!
Hey.
John.
John!
Good morning.
Merry Christmas.
You know, Elizabeth,
I think, um...
I'll stay and have
a cup of coffee with John.
Why don't you take those baskets
out to the people
on the loop, and...
come back and get me,
and we'll do The Hill together.
All right?
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
No.
No, we're all staying.
All of us.
- All of us.
- I know.
How 'bout a cup of coffee,
John? What do you say?
Hmm?
Your mother still keep the stuff
where she always did?
Here they are.
Okay.
I've been told I make mine
on the strong side.
Hmm?
I hope that's all right.
Say what?
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
May be a good thing today,
though, huh?
Have a little of that, John.
Mind if I, uh,
open these curtains
just a crack?
Uh, actually, keep it dark.
Ah, just a little.
Or l-leave 'em black.
We shou... Hey.
Ah, there you go.
That's better.
Why is that better?
So I can see you.
Oh, y-you want to look at me.
You know, I used to sit here
with your mother all the time,
at least once a week
right in that same chair.
Ah, hold on.
Don't talk about my mom.
She was a good woman.
Yeah, but you
don't talk about my mom.
Only in
the most loving way, bud.
Did Elizabeth come in here?
She was here.
She's out
delivering more baskets.
She'll be back.
Was the door open?
I left the door open,
didn't I?
I'm surprised I didn't
see you here with a coyote.
Ah, my Lord.
Ah, you know, my mother,
she never locked her door.
Rough night?
Hmm?
Want to talk this through?
Gotta be honest
with you, Pastor.
I d... I don't want, uh...
I don't want no witnessing,
not today.
If you don't mind.
Okay.
It's fine, son.
Maybe another day, huh?
Ah, that's her.
Why don't we do this
some other time?
- What do you think?
- Yeah, we'll talk, yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Goodbye, John.
Merry Christmas.
Help me.
State has been
in the lead 14-7...
Um, let me just clear this up.
Oh, you don't have to do that.
Don't worry.
Leave it.
He won't be staying long.
Okay.
What do you want?
I just wanted to stop by
and see how you're doing,
let you know if you
need anything, I'm around.
Good to know.
I was hoping you could
come by, uh, practice next week,
even if you're
not ready to wrestle.
I was ready to wrestle.
Uh-huh.
Okay, um...
hope you feel better.
- Let's go.
- All right, work him, Ronnie!
- Work him!
- This is a fight!
- Put him down!
- Let's go, Ronnie!
Look for the leg!
Look for the leg!
Look for the leg! That's it!
- That's it.
- Keep your shoulders up!
- There we go.
- Nice control, Ronnie!
- Flip him!
- Bury him!
- All right.
- Tear him up!
- Tear him up!
- You got it!
- Hey. Hey! Hey!
- Attack!
Hey! Shut up!
You shut up.
We're having fun.
Practice is over.
Practice is over!
Shouldn't be an issue
on our end.
I-I have no problem with that.
Hey, John, come in.
Get off the phone.
Get off the phone.
Um, I gotta go.
Uh, what's up?
Your kid's off the team.
That's what's up.
Excuse me?
- Your kid's off the team.
- Uh, slow it down.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- The deal is off.
- That's it.
- Slow down.
It's over. It's done.
Hey, we have a deal.
Don't you threaten me.
I saw Scott attack Michael.
What?
I saw him do it.
You saw him do it?
You know, Bobby,
you should be proud.
You raised a real animal.
If it's true,
you would have stopped it.
Yeah? Well, guess what.
I'm stopping it right now.
Hey, you know what?
You're making a huge mistake.
Well, it wouldn't be
the first time.
I'm gonna ruin you.
You know what, Bobby?
I look around, and it seems
that you got
a lot more to lose than I do.
You want the whole town to know
that you tried to buy your son
the number one spot? Hmm?
Scott is number one.
Just like you are, right?
Hello.
Can I help you?
Yeah. Is Elizabeth in?
Do you have an appointment?
No. No, I don't.
Are you a new patient?
What do you mean?
Here. Why don't we
get you started by...
I'm just looking
for Elizabeth.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How are you?
Uh...
- You, uh...
- I'm fine.
- Yeah, I'm just fine.
- Yeah.
Okay.
What's going on?
You need something?
Um, nah. I just wanted
to stop by and say hi.
Ok... Hey, Tori,
uh, room three's
out of changing gowns.
Can you take care of that,
please?
- Yeah, okay.
- Thank you.
I just wanted you to...
to know that, um...
you know, I'm feeling better.
Good.
Yeah. Well...
actually I
just wanted you to know.
Okay. Well,
I'm glad to hear that.
- Okay.
- Okay.
I'll let you get back to work.
I just... I don't know.
I'll see you later.
Is it true about Scott?
I don't know.
What do you mean?
- Nice to meet you.
- That he left the school?
I have no idea.
Hey, guys, let's focus.
Come on now.
What is it, Deck?
I'd like to say something.
Michael...
I want to apologize
to you, man...
for my part
in what happened that night.
It was wrong.
I feel really bad about it.
Now, I don't expect you
to forgive me. I wouldn't.
But I'm sorry.
If you ever need anything, man,
just let me know.
All right.
Ronnie.
Um...
yeah, Mike, I'm sorry, too.
We all, uh...
It just went too far, you know?
And like Deck said,
wasn't right.
Dude, I'm really sorry.
Okay.
Uh, we need to pick
a new captain, so, Deck,
given that you're a senior,
you got the second-best record,
you're next in line, all right?
Eh, if it's all the same
to you, Coach,
I'd like to nominate Miller.
You guys okay with that?
Yes, sir.
Michael, what do you think?
Well, I mean,
it was unanimous.
Thanks, guys.
Let's start warming up.
All right.
What's wrong?
Where's Katie?
She's at the church.
Mom dropped her off
this morning.
She's not coming back.
What are you doing? It's late.
She can't be up right now.
I'm watching a movie.
Well, not this movie, okay?
This is ridiculous.
Okay, okay, okay. I'm sorry.
You missed practice today.
You all right?
- Uh, yeah. Hold on.
- I want Mommy now!
Hey, I'll be outside!
It's easier to talk out here.
It's just a little crazy
in there right now.
Yeah, well, it's gotta
be a lot to deal with.
I can't imagine.
Yeah, it's pretty messed-up.
Anyway, uh,
I have to quit school
if the family's
gonna stay together.
I may have to get
a full-time job and...
well, that's life, I guess.
I mean, I wish I didn't, but...
I'm not giving up my family.
No, of course not.
Family first.
Gotta take care of that,
Michael.
What about your Dad?
Where's he at?
Well, Katie's Dad's dead.
He was k*lled in prison.
Ours hasn't been around
for a long time,
and personally, we really
don't need to see him again.
But look,
Joanna and I can handle this.
I mean, she's used
to taking care of Katie, anyway.
Okay. What about the school?
They know you're quitting?
Not yet.
All right, well, listen,
do me a favor.
Just hold off on that
for a little while, all right?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I'll let you go.
Take care.
Hey, Coach.
Thanks for stopping by.
Of course.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Want to go to my office?
Nah, here's fine.
Did you guys redo the windows?
We haven't.
Why? They look new?
I don't know. Maybe, I guess.
Ah, they're very old.
But you didn't come here
to discuss windows.
What's on your mind?
I, um...
I'm concerned about,
uh, Michael Miller.
And, um, well,
I don't know how to help him.
What that boy needs
right now is a friend.
He could use a good man
to look up to,
someone he can respect, trust.
That's not me.
Why not?
I was there.
I-I was there the night
that Michael got jumped.
I saw it all go down, and I...
I didn't help him.
I know who did it.
But, Pastor,
I'm not the man to look up to.
I'm not sure I agree.
I can't tell him.
You don't need to tell him,
and you shouldn't.
You just told me.
And more importantly,
you told Him.
Understood?
You see how easy that was?
I don't know why people
make it so complicated.
John...
suffering the consequences
of your actions
doesn't mean that you
or your life is condemned.
God forgives, period.
Just ask Him.
I have.
I do every day.
Well, then, my friend,
it's a done deal.
Okay.
I've got
some phone calls to make.
Right.
Why don't you come back
tomorrow morning around 9:00,
and we'll see if we
can get this figured out.
Okay.
You leaving or staying?
I'll stay a while.
Welcome, everyone.
If you could all take
your seats, that'd be great.
Thank you very much for coming.
Okay. John.
Down here, John.
Good morning, everybody.
Good morning.
Thanks to those who were able
to change their schedules
at the last minute.
John and I had
a conversation last night,
and, uh, well, why don't
I let him fill you in?
John?
I'm, um, sure you all know
about the Miller kids
and the bad situation
that they're in.
Uh, Michael is considering
quitting school
so that he can
take care of his family.
Seems like a lot
to ask of a kid,
so I don't know
what can be done,
but I hope something.
I know a while back, I, uh...
I let down a lot of you folks.
And I could stand up here,
and I could, uh...
make excuses for why I cheated,
but I won't.
It was stupid.
You know, after everything was
over and, uh, the media and...
I just couldn't bring myself
to come back here.
You know, I thought...
maybe one day,
when I was ready, I-I would,
but, uh, as time went on,
it just got harder and harder.
Eventually I just kinda...
I gave up on the idea.
I want you guys to all know
that I didn't mean to hurt you.
You know, my parents
deserved much more,
especially my mom.
But I appreciate everything
you did to help her...
but it should have been me.
Anyway, I want you to know
th-that I'm very sorry
that I let you down...
but I hope you can forgive me.
Thank you.
Thank you, John.
So we thought if we, uh,
put our hands and...
and our hearts together,
we could come up
with some ideas.
Peggy.
If those kids need help,
I can offer them work.
Carol.
That young woman
belongs in college.
She was a stellar student,
and she's too young
to be playing Mom at her age.
Absolutely.
Yes, Annie.
Hi.
Thank you.
I'd like to speak
to what John just shared.
John...
Frank and I have always
had you in our hearts, honey,
and we forgave you
a long time ago,
but now it's time
for you to forgive yourself
and move on
with the rest of your life,
and I hope that it's here.
He also had
a special spot for Michael,
and, uh... Oh, gosh.
I'm... I'm not sure
what I'm saying,
because it's really early,
and I haven't even had
my first cup of coffee...
but, uh, okay. Here goes.
It's... It's just me now,
the horses,
the dog in that house.
I could use the company.
I've got the room.
Why don't I take them in?
Wow.
That's a generous offer, Annie.
Are you sure you don't want
that cup of coffee first?
It's the right thing to do,
and besides, I know
a good horse when I see one,
and, John,
you have got a thoroughbred
in Michael Miller.
Teach that boy
like Frank taught you.
Come here, Mike.
I love you, Mike.
Let's go! Move!
Down.
First here.
Come around.
You all right?
Deck, pay attention.
You're next.
Right here...
Let's go!
Let's go, Scott! Get...
Good.
Get him back. Get him back.
Get him back. Single leg.
There you go.
Push it.
One more, man.
Bring it down.
Move!
Yeah, there you go.
All right, go!
Come on.
- Go! Explode!
- Come on! Let's go!
Go!
Yeah.
- Come on!
- That's right!
Whoo!
Whoo!
All right, awesome.
Come sit down with me.
Good job.
I wanna talk to you all.
Well, we got conference.
Three days.
I know that you're probably
a little nervous
about the tournaments
that are coming up.
That's natural. I was nervous.
Use it.
You understand?
I want you guys to know
that I'm proud of you
and the hard work
that you've put in.
Everybody on this team has
sacrificed one way or another.
I've seen you guys
give your best.
I've seen it.
I've seen you guys
come together as a team
and build strong
core fundamentals.
That's the hard work, boys.
That's what puts
the other guy on his back.
You go out there
with the same guts
and the same determination
that you show in practice,
and that's good enough for me.
It's good enough.
Okay, enough of this.
Go home. Get some rest.
I'll see you tomorrow.
All right, guys, bring it in.
Panthers on three.
Panthers!
All right, guys
Hey, Coach.
We want to ask you something.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah. We're, uh...
Well, we were just wondering,
just how good do you have to be
to make the Olympic team?
Mm, that was
a long time ago, boys.
Eh, you look like
you're in pretty good shape.
Mm.
You done blowing smoke
up my a*s, Deck?
- Huh?
- Well, the thing is, John,
we all voted,
and we want to see what you got.
Yeah, Coach.
I don't think
that's such a good idea, Deck.
- Aw, come on!
- So...
- So I've been picked...
- Come on!
- So I've been picked...
- You've been picked?
to challenge you
one-on-one right now.
Yeah, and since
you're an old-timer,
you know, we... we can
make it easy on you.
We could go for a minute
or, you know,
'til first takedown
or whatever comes first.
- Come on. We want it.
- You guys want it?
- Yeah!
- You guys want it?
- Let's do it.
- Gotta do it.
- You want it, Deck?
- Oh, yeah. I want it.
- Go on, son.
- Whoo!
Let's go, Coach.
Don't stall
on me now, Coach.
That's not my style, Deck.
This is.
You okay?
All right.
See you guys in a bit.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Um, delivery.
What is this?
It's from Annie.
It's Frank's jacket.
Yeah.
- And his tie.
- I know.
- That's beautiful.
- It really is, right?
Yeah, let her know
I said thank you.
I will.
I thought that maybe
I could give you a hand.
- Oh, yeah. I mean...
- Do you need a hand?
You think?
Yeah.
Yeah. No, uh...
I mean, it's a bit
of a disaster, but, uh...
- Yeah.
- you know...
start throwing whatever
in boxes.
Okay, so there's no system.
- No, it's all going.
- Okay.
- Just put it in a box.
- All right.
This is really generous
that you're doing this.
Yeah, it's what my mom
would have wanted.
- Oh.
- She was a collector,
- as you can see.
- Uh-huh.
Now it's your dad's problem.
I heard that you're staying
at the firehouse
'til the season's over.
Is that true?
Yeah.
- Cool.
- This is a good book.
Actually, I might keep that.
Yeah. It, uh...
It's a good thing for me,
and it works out for them,
and, you know...
I need newspaper.
You have newspaper?
- Uh...
- Can I have that?
- Yeah.
- Wait.
Are these all going?
Yeah.
These are all going?
- Mm-hmm.
- This, too?
Yeah. Why? You want 'em?
No, I want you to want them.
John...
Look, I... Like,
whatever happened after this,
I don't even know, and, like,
it really doesn't matter,
but these?
I mean, come on.
You worked so hard for these.
Right? Like...
you earned these.
- Mm-hmm.
- Didn't you?
- Yes, Elizabeth.
- Okay.
So please don't throw them away.
What's that one say?
"Tri-state Champion."
Totally remember that.
Gosh.
They used to mean so much to me.
I don't even know
who this person is anymore.
Here. Pack it.
I know him.
All right, you know what?
New plan.
- This is my box.
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm taking them, okay?
I'll hold on to them,
and then when you, like, get
to wherever it is you're going,
I'll, uh...
I'll send 'em out to you, okay?
And then if you
still don't want 'em,
you can throw 'em away.
Then I don't have to watch.
Good plan?
Yeah, but...
kind of sounds
like you're trying
to get rid of me
actually in a way.
Does it?
Just a little bit, yeah.
Okay, well, you're wrong.
I'm not...
- Oh, yeah?
- trying to get rid of you.
No, I'm not.
Are you cra...
Good.
Let's go! Hustle up!
Lay it down.

But letting it break you,
that's a choice, Michael.
You understand?
Yeah.
Good.
So first and second period
are about what?
Strategy and technique.
Third?
Heart.
Guts.
It's where the gold is.
Come here.
All right.
It's been an honor.
And from North Kitsap,
Bobby Delgado
takes this one home.
Michael, you're up.
All your dreams
are out there, Michael.
They're all out there.
Let's go get 'em.
Hey. Let's go.
Come on. Come on.
You got this, man.
Once again,
welcome back to the 152-pound
State Final of the Washington
State Wrestling Championship.
Go out there,
and wrestle the match.
Get him, Mike!
Along with Olympic champions
Dan Gable and Randy Lewis,
I'm Jason Bryant.
And, Coach Gable,
we got a big one today,
Michael Miller,
all out on the line here.
One of your former athletes
at Iowa coming over to say hi.
- How are you, Coach?
- It's been a long time.
- Great having you back.
- Pleasure to see you.
John Wright, the last champion
from Garfield High School,
and, Coach,
this guy at one time
was destined to be
one of the greats.
Michael. Michael!
Michael, listen up.
I want you to remember
to battle every position.
Do you understand?
You know what to do.
All right, it's your time.
Let's go. Loosen up. Come on.
Look at the stare-down
right now. These two
- making no bones about it.
- You got this!
This is gonna be
a grudge match.
You own him!
- Let's go.
- Randy Lewis,
you got a lot of points
on the board as an athlete.
These two guys like to put up
a lot of points as well.
Let's get to the action here
in the first period.
They both, uh, sh**t a lot
and counter very well.
- Should be a great match.
- Let's go, guys.
Shake hands when you're ready.
And off the bat,
Baker tries to sh**t,
but Miller quickly
on the takedown.
Out of bounds.
Whoo!
Let's go, red team!
We have to restart,
a 2-0 lead here for Miller...
- Set here.
- in the early going.
Hey! Nice! Let's go!
Get set, green.
- Tough on top!
- Red, cover legal.
Go first whistle.
Stay set.
Point, green! Escape neutral!
His angle. Now drive! Drive!
Now Baker
on the offensive here
tries to see the leg
out of bounds,
doesn't get the two.
Come on.
Set.
And Baker gets a real nice
high crotch finish there...
- Execute!
- for the takedown.
Lift the half!
Two, green!
Two, takedown, green.
Now 3 to 2.
Big lift out of bounds.
Set the tone here
early, folks.
Yeah, great leg transition
and drive.
Wrestlers coming back
to center.
Now Baker with a 3-2 lead...
You're all right!
You're all right!
as we get reset.
Two rivals
from Eastern Washington,
State Championship Finals.
Green, cover legal.
Miller hits a quick switch
and hip heist.
Fight it! Fight it!
One, red, escape.
We're out.
- One.
- Oh! What was that?
Looked like a shot there
on the edge of the mat.
No call. No call.
- Ref! Ref!
- What?
- You're not gonna call that?
- Call what?
- He just elbowed him.
- I didn't see that, Coach.
Right back here. Center.
John Wright
does not like that one bit.
Need to block your head.
- Keep him off your head.
- One hand, Miller snaps,
and flies through off the mat.
- Back to center.
- Keep pushing the pace.
Run him all over the mat.
Let's go!
Come on!
You go out of bounds,
no points.
Set.
Low-scoring affair
here at 3-3.
- Trying to work that head.
- Squeeze! Squeeze!
That'll end the first period,
Green's choice.
Green's down. Red's top.
Right here.
Coach, you see this a lot.
Former teammates that know
each other left and right,
hard to score
in this situation sometimes.
Right. They both look great
on their counter actions.
- Baker quickly up and out.
- One, green, escape, neutral.
Now a nice escape. Nice.
You're out of bounds.
Red, right here.
Let me see your face.
Okay, I got blood, red.
Blood time, red.
Right here in your corner, red.
Break in the action here
for blood time
as Miller goes over
to his corner.
All right, listen up.
We're gonna pick up
the pace on him now.
You understand?
When he shoots,
I want you to get after
his a*s, make your moves.
Come on! Let's go!
Over here, guys.
We're neutral.
Heavy hands, man. Let's go.
He's wearing down,
so the keep the pressure
on the back of his head.
You got me?
Coach Gable,
you coached Wright at Iowa.
What do you remember about him?
I remember he loved the sport,
almost too much.
Find your opportunity!
Wrestlers come back to center.
Set.
Nice double leg there, Coach.
Oh, great double leg
by Miller. Two points.
Hey, get out of that.
There you go.
Baker works up to his feet,
up and out.
One, green, escape.
Wrestlers have
come back to center.
- We're ready to restart.
- Set.
Don't hang out there!
Half shot there by Baker.
Oh! Randy, left him wide open
for that slide-by.
Miller got a little lazy
and pushed a little too hard.
Baker hit a great slide-by
for the takedown.
Red, you're out.
Baker takes the lead, 7-5.
- And Miller up to his feet.
- You got him!
Miller's trying to get out.
He's got a leg
and the high position to score.
- Kriskie cutback, Coach!
- Yeah!
Attaboy, Scotty!
Get out of that!
Two, green, near fall.
That's the end
of the second period.
- Third period...
- Oh, man!
It looked like Miller was
gonna come out with a reversal,
and Baker hits
the Kriskie cutback.
It's 9-5 at the end
of two periods.
- Red, where you want?
- Two minutes left
- here in the State Finals.
- Red's down.
Green's top.
Set.
Miller's starting the third
in the down position.
Trying to get up and out.
Oh, grinds him
through the table.
- Oh, hey!
- Ohh!
Yeah, this one's
getting chippy, Coach.
You can see that
midseason transfer for Baker,
maybe we're starting to see why.
That transfer
shrouded in mystery
- between these two programs.
- Michael! Michael!
- Stay focused.
- Clean it up, ref.
Red, you're down. Get set.
Stay focused. You hear me?
Let's go, Scotty. Let's go!
He's frustrated.
He's frustrated.
Good hustle!
Coach Gable,
you had John Wright
as an athlete at Iowa. He was
known for winning matches late.
He would be down early,
would always be in a match.
What do you think he's taught
his young wrestler here?
Well, he's had
a strong will himself.
He's given that to his athletes.
Go. Come on. Let's go.
One, red, escape, neutral!
- Get back...
- Miller turns
and faces up and out
with the escape. 10 to 6.
Down four points, third period.
Randy Lewis, what's Mr. Miller
gotta do to win this thing?
He needs to score
three takedowns
to send it into overtime
or get a takedown
on back points,
so he's really gotta go now.
Ref! Hands in the back, ref.
- Set.
- Let's get one here, Michael!
Short time! They work!
Double! That makes it 10 to 8!
- Yeah!
- Out of bounds.
Out of bounds, we go,
and things
are starting to get interesting.
Come on, Scotty!
Atta-way! Get another one!
- All right, all right.
- Atta-way! get another one.
- Michael! Michael!
- Green, set.
- Cup.
- Stay set. Red.
We got an optional start.
Stay set.
Well, he's giving
an optional start.
He's gonna cut him.
Then he needs two more
takedowns to tie this match up.
Oh, they both...
Oh, double leg again!
Oh, man! 11-10 now!
- 12-10 after the escape!
- Green. Neutral.
Red, let me see your face.
Break.
- I got blood, red. Corner...
- Oh! Blood time!
This is a momentum k*ller
right now for Michael Miller.
You're great!
All right, breathe.
Breathe. Come on.
Listen. Let's go!
All right.
All we need is one more,
and we go into overtime.
Hey, hey! You okay?!
You broke him.
You broke him, Michael.
Now it's about this.
What's this?
- What is this?!
- Heart!
All right! That's it. That's...
All right, let's go finish.
Finish strong!
Come on! Let's go!
Finish strong!
Miller in on a shot.
Baker gonna try to back him up.
Get it done! Find a way!
Oh, there's
that slide-by by Baker!
A standing Granby!
Great counter!
Now he's in on a shot,
thumbs off!
What a move.
- Time is up!
- Yeah!
Whoo!
Coach, we're going
to sudden victory!
- We're going to overtime!
- Whoo!
- Unbelievable!
- Hey!
Good work!
Yeah, baby!
All right, overtime procedure
in high school wrestling.
It's 12-12,
one minute sudden victory.
Coach Gable, first score wins.
I'll tell you what,
there's no room for error.
Both guys are fighting
for their life here.
Come on strong! Stay low!
No worries!
You have those low and throws!
Keep moving!
- Stay away!
- Scott! Scott!
One more takedown
seals this for us!
Action on the sidelines.
Scott, you take him out!
You hear me?!
- h*! h*!
- You put him down!
- He needs out of here!
- Put him away!
Hey, Scott, you stay here!
Stay focused!
Keep moving!
Come on, Scott! You got this!

Les Kriskie
thinks time was out.
The referee said two.

Right back at him.
