[Chad]
Last season on Chad Powers...

- Down, set, hut!
- [grunting]

[announcer] For Russ Holliday,
if you're a quarterback,


you dream about this.

He dropped it at the 1-yard line!
That's a live football!


[crowd cheering]

[Mike] I guess it's up to me
to say the hard stuff,


Russ Holliday's athletic career is over.

Open tryouts for quarterback!

Does Coach Hudson really think
some stud quarterback's


just gonna appear out of thin air?

You're Russ Holliday.
Maybe I can help you!

[whistle blows]

[♪ intense music playing]

Who's 200?

His name's Chad Powers, Coach.

[players cheering]

Chad, really turned
some heads out there today.



- [speaker] It's Chad, right?
- Who are you?

I'm Gerry Dougan.
Let's go be bonded as men forever.

I came by to tell you I'm gon' be takin'
a more active leadership role.

- Gonna shitcan me next?
- Sure might.

[crowd cheering]

[grunts, yells]

- [whistle blows]
- [wailing]

[crowd cheering]

You were born for this moment.
Tonight, you'll become a Catfish.

[excited yelling]

Don't get me wrong,
I like that you're good.

I'd like you even if you weren't.

Since when does Russ Holliday care about
people being nice to him?

Well, she's not nice to Russ,
she's nice to Chad.

She'd probably hate Russ.
I doubt she's into f*ck.

[moaning]

[Coach Hudson] Oh, here's someone else
I'd like you to meet.

This is my wife, Wendy.

That's how I wind up f*ck' Russ Holliday
in the back of his Cybertruck!

Hey Ricky, I think
I'm having a heart attack.

[♪ tense music playing]

You're Russ Holliday.

When that bus leaves tomorrow,
I'll bet she's on it.

You know why?
'Cause of you.

It's real, this team is real.

The realest part
is how I feel about you, Coach.

Wanna know what I feel for... Russ?

After that Rose Bowl, I wish that
you would've just k*lled yourself.

If you don't stay away,
I will tell the whole world.

No, you won't.

If you out Chad, our wins will be vacated,
the season will be done.

Program would get the death penalty.

Where the f*ck were ya, Chad?!

I'm in here cleanin' up
for five f*ck' years!

Jesus Christ, do you believe
any of this bullshit?!

[Ricky] Hey!

Chad's here, he's starting,

and we're gonna beat Georgia
for Coach Hudson!

[all cheering]

- [staffer] Coach Hudson!
- Hey.

- [staffer] Did you find us okay?
- No, it was impossible to find.

But I'm used to being down below.
This works.

Well, if you get tired
or you need anything, just let us know.

It's 3:30 in the afternoon.
Why would I be tired?

I don't-- I don't know.
B-Because of your heart?

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not a doctor.
I'm a ball coach, so--

Not today, though.

Today, you're just
the world's biggest Catfish fan.

- Yeah.
- [Tricia] Come on, come on!

- Suck him, suck him! Ah!
- Oh, Jesus. No, no.

I'm supposed, I'm supposed
to have a private suite.

- Jake!
- Hey!

There you are.

- Oh.
- This is a private suite.

It's just us.

Oh, you look great.

- Thank you.
- How've you been?

- [Coach Hudson] Good.
- [Tricia] Good, good.

'Cause I wanna engage
in some real shadowy

d*ck Cheney sh*t up here.

Can we text plays to the sideline?

- No.
- Why not?

Doctor said I need to sit out
another week, so I'm sitting out.

What are we supposed to do?
Just chit chat like two old gays?

We cannot talk at all.

- You could tell me about your divorce.
- [Coach Hudson sighs]

Can I get a Diet Coke?

Coach Hudson said no sodas.

- Coach Hudson said?
- Coach Ricky Hudson?

[Tricia]
Suck. f*ck. Suck a f*ck!

Did you see that?! Get it together!

- [crowd cheering]
- [♪ band music playing]

[players shouting]

[players]
Lock in! Lock in!

[cheerleaders]
F-I-S-H!

Hold it back. Hold it back.

[♪ tense music playing]

[player] Run that sh*t, woo!

Wide 80. Wide 80. Set.

[grunting]

[crowd cheering]

[bodies thud]

Coach!

[muffled announcement]

Hey, Chad.

Forget it.

Okey-dokey.

- [whistle blows]
- [cheerleaders] S-P-I-R-I-T!

Spirit! Let's hear it!

[Chad] Ready?

[indistinct shouting]

Wide 80. Wide 80. Set.

[grunting]

- [whistle blows]
- [crowd groans]

I think Chad Powers just died.

[Danny] What?

Yo, Chad, you good, bro?

[in normal voice]
Uh, my shoulder! My shoulder.

Damn, they hit him so hard
he talks different. Come on, y'all.

Yeah, that man f*cked up.
Hey, Coach.

f*ck. Season's over. We're fired.

I'm gonna be workin' at AutoZone again.

[whistle blows]

[Tricia] They k*lled him!
They k*lled Chad Powers!

- Come on, kid, get up.
- [Tricia] This is despicable!



Oh, sh*t, the nose!

[Dr. John] Chad,
can you turn around for me?

[in Chad's voice] Uh... I cannot.

Powers, what's hurt, buddy?

Oh, uh... I can't feel my body.

Stand by. We might need
an ambulance out here.

What? No! Oh, oh!

Oh, sensation just came rushing back.

Why are you covering your face, Chad?

I think I broke my nose.

Uh, let me take a look
at this shoulder here.

Ow! Oh.

Do you know how much money I spent

rushin' these Chad masks
into production, Jake?

It's a marginal amount relative
to my overall wealth,

but in a vacuum, it's staggering.

Listen, I know that Chad
is medicine-hesitant,

but I need to take him back for X-rays.

No! No, no, no, no,
don't-don't make me go.

I don't wanna have
my bones photographed.

Then you should've
got rid of the ball quicker.

I'm gonna take him back. Come on.

[Tricia] I'm callin' the NCAA!
I'm callin' the police!

I got a messed-up nose.
I feel just like Pinocchio.

Makes me think about
that little wooden boy.

Pinocchio.

Pinocchio!

Hey, doc.
Check him for a concussion.

This is more stupid than normal.

Pinocchio!

[♪ tense music playing]

[whistle blows]

Gerry!

Gerry, what are you doing?
You're going in.

No, I'm not. Chad's the Chosen One.
He'll return miraculously.

Put your g*dd*mn helmet on.
Get up. Let's go.

[sighs]

Women shouldn't swear.

It's unbecoming.

Thank you.

- [Danny] Hey!
- Oh, my God.

I was trying to get your attention.

I was waving my flippers around.

I don't ever wanna talk to you.

Well, if you do want
you, your dad, and everyone else

to keep their jobs, you're gonna have to.

We have a Pinocchio.

A what?

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[gate clanging]

I can't be off the field.
People will know that I'm missing.

You? I'm the one who's exposed.

Whiskers is the sun
around which the fan experience orbits.

What the hell are we doing here?
What is a, a "Pinocchio"?

Code. It means Chad's nose
came off under his helmet.

- Oh, my f*ck! [sighs]
- Yeah.

Your code word is a famous liar?

Don't poke holes
in our complex methodology.

They just took him back
to the locker room.

If they see his face, he's dead.

What the f*ck do you want me
to do about it?

You're a coach! Run interference.

- Get Chad out of there.
- No, dude.

I told him last week
I would help one time.

I'm not-- I am not a part
of this f*cking freak show.

In 10 minutes, there's not gonna be

a f*cking freak show anymore.

Good. I won't do it. I won't be a hostage.

Okay.

[inhales deeply]

Forget about the team.
Forget about your dad.

Do you, Ricky Hudson,
really wanna stop winning?

Are you really done with Chad Powers?

[Chad moaning]

Powers, I know you're hurt, buddy.

Shut the f*ck up.

Get him on the table.

- Come on. Come on.
- Okay, uh.

Uh, ooh.

Let's get that helmet off.

Oh, I-I-I feel funny, y'all. I feel...

Chad, take your f*cking helmet off.
Come on.

[Chad coughs, groans]

- [Chad] Oh, oh, oh, my God.
- Let's back up.

I think it's contagious.
I think it's contagious.

Okay, so I can give him a COVID test--

You shut your mouth!

If he's got Coronavirus,
he'll be out for God knows how long.

- You don't wanna know if he's sick?
- I wanna get him back on the field.

Am I the only one in here
that realizes we're at f*ck' w*r?!

- Coach?
- What?!

I've got Coach Ricky out here
askin' for you.

Alright, I'm-- I-I just need you
to X-ray the shoulder.

If it's dislocated,
you pop it back in place.

What about his broken nose?

Then pop that back in too!

- Okay. Hey. Hey, Chad. Listen.
- Oh.

We're gonna take off your jersey
so we can do some imaging.

- Don't touch me!
- [Coach Dobbs] Ricky.

Big Scott.

[Coach Dobbs] What?

What? Who? Di-Did Byrd send you down here?
What are you doin'?

No. No, no, I ju-- I just came on my own.

I just, uh...

[clicks tongue] How's Chad?

Get off! Get off!

Chad! Chad!
Chad, you're hurt and possibly viral.

I need you to take a breath!

Ah, you're just trying to calm me down!

I've been very upfront about that!

[sighs]

[♪ tense music playing]

- Oh, my God.
- [shouts]

Aah!

[clatter]



[band member]
Five, six, seven, eight!

Goddamnit.

Maybe I can-- Maybe I can go back there

- and just try to chill him out.
- Wh--

'Cause I sort of speak his language.

- You know what I mean?
- Yeah? Do I? Do you speak dumbass?

Is that right? Are-Are you,
are you fluent in f*ck' dumbass?

Okay. Can I f*cking just try to help?

Alright. Screw it.

Maybe you can figure out
what's eating Gilbert Grape.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[laughing]

f*ck!

- Jesus.
- What happened? Where's Chad?

I don't know.
They said he, like, escaped.

He's on the run.

He's doing the plan.

What plan?

You're both insane.
He's gonna get caught.

I think you're forgetting,
Chad's a quarterback.

He sees the field, avoids the danger,
and makes the play.

May be hard to believe,
but he really is a master of disguise.

[crowd cheering]

[Tricia] If I have to keep watching
Gerry Dougan play football,

I swear to you, Jake,
I will commit ritualistic seppuku.

- Gerry's keepin' us in the game.
- I will slit my belly.

Well, then hopefully Chad shows up
for the second half.

Hope is for the impoverished.

I need to know.
I need access to information.

Wait. What are you doin'?
Are you goin' down there?

I gotta go out there and do
my Find the Fish promotion at halftime.

And then, I'm gonna find out
what is up with Chad

because, unlike you,
I actually care about this team.

The second I go on the sideline
or in the locker room,

- I'm the coach again.
- [chuckles]

If you are gonna retire,
then just do it already.

You don't have a g*dd*mn clue
what you're talkin' about.

Then when are you
gon' be out there coachin'?

When the doctor clears me.

Oh, drop it, Jake.

My name's on that cardiology wing.

I know he said you can never come back.

Well, if you know what he said...

then why are you encouraging me?

Listen to me.

I would vote for AOC
if it meant us winnin' a Natty.

I mean, truly I would.
And I'm just a booster.

But you, you are
the g*dd*mn head ball coach.

And that heart right there
is probably gon' k*ll you one day,

one way or another.

But you get your name
on that trophy, Jake...

you gon' live forever.

[pats shoulder]

[announcer speaking]

Don't worry. He'll be here.

Can you remotely comprehend
how deranged this is?

Why is what we're doing so transgressive?

People already assume everything's fake.

They actually prefer it.

Not in sports.

Well, all you coaches were happy
to suspend disbelief

when the miracle QB fell outta the sky.

That's why we do this,
you f*cking nihilist.

That was my dream, to be part
of something remarkable.

Well, there's one thing we have in common.

[cell phone ringing]

- [Danny] Who is it?
- It's Coach Hudson.

You need to throw him off the scent.

No, I'm-I'm not lying to my dad.

Okay, George Washington,
then don't answer.

I have to answer.
What if he's having a heart attack?

Hi, Dad.

Ricky, are you with Powers?

Um, it's the middle of the game.

Y-You shouldn't be worrying about this.

I'm not worrying.
I'm just checking the status of Chad.

Uh, Chad's status is all good.
We're gonna find him.

Find him? What do you mean, find him?
Where the hell is he?

Um, Dad, just you watch
the game and relax, okay?

Just-Just relax. And no soda, please.

[panting]

I love you.

- [in normal voice] Pinocchio.
- Pinocchio.

We can fix the nose,
but what about your shoulder?

I think it's too risky
goin' back to the trainers.

I gotta pop this sh*t back in myself.

You could seriously mess up
your shoulder doing that.

I appreciate your concern,
but we got it under control.

Yeah. For sure. The entire staff
isn't scouring the stadium

looking for you
like the f*cking Unabomber.

One: the Unabomber
eluded authorities for 17 years.

Please don't get him started
on the Unabomber.

And two: I thought ya didn't
wanna be a part of this.

I don't wanna be a part of this!

But did you forget last weekend

when you threatened my family
and my career?

"If Chad goes down,
the whole program goes down"?

That wasn't a threat.
That was information.

I was unfurling a path,
a potential outcome.

Okay, clearly, everyone's
still carrying around some anger,

but right now, can we focus?

I-I-I'm actually not angry. I'm good.

I'm just more angry that I fell for it.

Because everything you say
is so deeply f*cking stupid.

Chad is stupid.

That is the point of the character.

I am making deliberate creative choices.

Yeah. How'd you escape?
What'd you say? What'd you say?

What'd you say?
Did you say you gotta doo doo?

Well, I tried, but...

Yeah. Whenever he's gotta
leave a room, just perfect.

Oh, doo doo time.

I tried to tell you, man.
The doo doo thing's a crutch.

What do you want me to say?
"I gotta go order DirecTV"?

Everybody shits. It's a grounded excuse.

It's hard to lie all the time.

It's a lot harder being lied to.

[sighs]

I gotta get back to the team.

I... Just please,
please do not get caught.

[Sasha] Danny? Where are you?

Danny? Danny?

- [whispers] Hide.
- [whispers] What...

[groaning]

[Sasha] Danny?!

What the f*ck are you doing?

Moisturizing. You should try it.

Your skin looks like an old wallet.

[Sasha] Second quarter's almost over.

You forgot Find the Fish, didn't you?

It's only your literal
biggest responsibility as Whiskers.

God, I actually cannot wait
until you get fired.

[shoe squeaks]

[♪ tense music playing]

You're right. I did forget.

I don't know what I was thinking.

[Sasha]
First, you missed last week, now this.

Something's going on with you.

I'm just really worried about Chad.

'Kay.

Thank you for being here for me.

I'm not here for you. I actually hate you.

So, let me go.

Come on.
I don't wanna let our fans down.

Are you coming?



Sasha? Wait. Hold on. Wait.

[sighs]

I thought you had a boy in here.

Pfft... Before Find the Fish?

That-- Pfft. That would be crazy.

[Sasha] Hmm.



- [Russ] Oh, f*ck...
- [Ricky] Now what, genius?

Look, I'm just gonna find a bathroom.

I'm gonna put the nose on myself.

Oh, no.

What?

The nose.

I know it's called Find the Fish,

but we always, and I mean always,

gotta bring it back around
to Yeager chicken.

So, I want y'all to find
the chicken within and do it for Ch--

Hey! You! Hussy! Put your mask on.

And you, little Indian boy, come here.

What is goin' on with Chad?

I have no clue.

Uh-huh. I find that odd

since you two are attached
at the motherfuckin' flipper.

Alright, y'all, come on.

We gotta get some big chicken energy.
Let's Find That Fish.

Where's this spit us out?

Club level. There's places to hide there.

- [Russ] Are you sure?
- [fans cheering]

[Ricky] Oh, sh*t. Oh, f*ck.

Oh, sh*t.

No, no.

Goddamnit.

- Club level?
- Must be one flight up.

You're probably in situations
like this all the time, right?

Like, daily?

Absolutely not.

[Ricky] I'm gonna need therapy
for the rest of my life.

[Russ] You should go back down
on the field. I got this.

- [Ricky] What about the nose?
- [Russ] Danny has it.

I just gotta find him
so we can get it back on.

Can I ask you something?

What?

What were you gonna say before,
on the sideline?

I saw that the D End
had your snap count timed.

I was gonna tell you
to switch up your cadence.

And you didn't say anything?

No, I didn't.

'Cause you wanted him to k*ll me.

Or I guess, if you had your wish,
I would just do it myself.

Okay. I-I can't with this.

- [mask clatters]
- Why don't you--

Why don't you put yourself in my shoes?
Have you?

Imagine if I took off my face
and-and f*cked your stepmom?

I don't have a stepmom.
My dad is an openly g*y man.

Okay. Imagine if I f*cked your stepdad.

But the stepdad would be g*y,
so that doesn't even make--

Okay, I get what you mean.

Do you? Do you get it?

I said I was sorry.

That doesn't fix it.

And-And not to be, like, whatever,
but what I said on the bus...

That you wish I'd k*lled myself.

Have you seriously
never heard that before?

Not from someone I care about.

[Coach Dobbs] Yo! Ricky!

- Hey!
- Go.

Anything? Any luck?

No, he-- No.

Goddamnit!
Just like my dog, Rusty, man.

He got abdominal cancer
and ran off and died behind a TJ Maxx.

How is it like that?

[Coach Dobbs] His shoulder's f*cked.

Wherever he's hidin',
he's in a lotta pain.

You just see how reliant the Catfish
offense has been on Chad Powers.

Without him, they can't move the ball.

If he can play in the second half,
he's gotta be out there.

Yeah, obviously, Boog, Chad Powers
is not the only important piece

the Catfish are missing.

Coach Jake Hudson's still recovering
from a heart attack

he suffered 10 days ago
at his home in Dawson.


[Booger] [on TV] Yeah. It's tough, man.
Your heart goes out to Coach Hudson.


This is a guy who everybody loves,

but his teams always
come up a little bit short.


They just can't quite get over the hump.

[Kevin] And it felt like this season,
top 5, undefeated, maybe he finally would.


[Booger] Exactly.
This was gonna be his year.


But you gotta prioritize your health.

So, Coach, get well soon.

Our thoughts and our prayers
go out to you and your family.

[indistinct chatter]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[door closes]

[man] Someone's in here.

[heavy breathing]

[footsteps]

[♪ tense music playing]

Go Fish.

Alrighty, y'all.
It is time to Find the Fish!


Woo! If Whiskers is in your section,

- you're gonna win...
- Oh, my God.

...a free Yeager Chicken Box.

Wh-- Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

- I think I see him.
- Yes! Danny!

- [Tricia] Nope, nope.
- [Russ] sh*t.

- [Tricia] I thought that was him.
- Come on!

[Tricia]
He's a slippery little fella, isn't he?

Find the f*cking fish.

Now, chicken is, of course,

commonly known as fish of the land.

And that's just one
of the many chicken facts I have--

- Oh! Wait a minute, y'all. Hold on.
- [Russ] Come on, come on, come on.

- [Tricia] Looky there.
- Let's go, come on!

- [Tricia] [squeals] We found the fish!
- There you are, there you are! Yes!

- [Tricia] Section 219, y'all.
- 219!



I love that fish.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[Russ grunting]

Excuse me.

[panting]

[fans cheering]

Danny? Danny?

Get inside.

Oh! Holy sh*t!

Your twerking saved us.

Duh. Throw that a*s in a circle,
good things happen.

Are we allowed to be in here?

I take naps in here all the time.

Hey, y'all, I'm Tricia Yeager,

and on behalf of Yeager Family Farms,

I wanna invite you to come on in,

sit back, relax, and express.

[knock on door]

[in Chad voice] Ocupado. [stammers]

[stammers] Baby, it's a leche.

[Ricky] Really good.
Yeah. Very convincing.

[in normal voice] [whispers] Hey.

Hi... Can I come in?

Yeah.

What are you-- What are you doin' here?

I, uh, ditched Dobbs and found the fish.

Wait, did you tell him
you were takin' a sh*t?

No. Shut up.

Okay, um, before we do the nose,
take off your jacket.

Take off my...

- Yeah.
- Why?

I'm gonna fix your shoulder.

Oh. Oh, f*ck. Have you done this before?

No. No, I haven't, but--

You've never done this before?

I watched a TikTok video
on the way over here.

- You watched a TikTok?
- People do it all the time.

- I don't think it's a good idea.
- It's gonna hurt. Okay?

- Yeah, it's gonna f*ck' hurt.
- Very badly.

Look, uh, this thing's out
of its socket right now.

- Russ.
- [heavy breathing]

Okay. Ooh. Easy, easy, easy.

- Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
- [Russ exhales forcefully]

I'm sorry.

Okay?

Okay.

Ooh. Alright.

[breathing heavily]

Oh.

- [bones crack]
- Oh!

Okay.

[heavy breathing]

Oh.

Does it feel better?

Yeah. Kinda.

[Tricia] [on TV] Congratulations.
You've expressed your mammaries.


A baby drank from your udders,

so I bet you're hungry for some chicken.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Please, ref. Time out. Time out.

No, wait.
What-What are you, what are you doing?

No. I was about to lead
my offense into battle!

[Coach Byrd]
Chad, where the hell were you?

It's a tunnel-ly stadium.

I found him in the women's bathroom.

Oh.

Doc, come here. Check him out.
Don't f*ck' move!

- Alright. Alright.
- Arms up.

[Coach Hudson] Powers!

Oh, my God, Coach.
Are you serious?

I'm j-- I'm just checkin' on everybody.

Doctor didn't clear you for two weeks.

Well, it's basically been two weeks.

I just wanna know
how my quarterback is doin'.

Oh, healthy as a horse.

I'm good, Coach.

I'm not sure I believe you, son.

But whatever's goin' on,
we'll figure it out together.

Alright?

Alrighty.

The shoulder's okay.
I still think we should test for COVID.

- f*ck no!
- f*ck!

[Coach Dobbs] God!

It's your call, Vic.

What the hell you waitin' on, Powers?

Get your a*s out there.

Alright.

[crowd cheering]

Hey, Chad.

The snap count.

Right.

Thanks, Coach.
