That's why you stopped fighting.

-Who told you that?

-ls it true?

-It's not that simple.

-You-- I just knew it!

You're taking advantage

of Walter, of me...

...but worst of all, a bunch of kids!

All right. Just listen to me for a second.

Yeah, I've done some things

I'm not proud of...

...but that doesn't mean

I haven't been true.

Do you think I would be that heartless?

Well, l-- Yes. I do.

We've got big trouble.

That man in the ring with Walter

has got Henry.

He left this in my mailbox.

This is the guy I just-- I just saw him.

-lf anything happens to--

-I got it.

You and the other sisters nun up.

Search every inch of this space

for Henry.

Mary and I are gonna work

Walter's corner. We'll stall.

Memphis Earl's not going anywhere

with Redrum in the ring.

-All right. Nuns, break.

-Take this. He knows how he looks.

I'll tell Walter what's going on.

-Oh, my God.

-You can't be in here. Go, go, go.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the main event.

Come on! Yeah!

Yeah!

Now making his way to the ring...

...fighting out of institutions

of lesser learning...

...weighing in at 380 pounds...

...we have Redrum!

Come on.

Come on, Redrum.

Here he comes.

Get your hands off me!

And his challenger,

who's coming to the ring...

...tipping the scales at 450 pounds.

Wow, that's a big boy.

We have the bear basher himself...

...Walter Krunk!

He's here! The bear basher!

Come on! Show him some love!

Show him some love!

Come on. Come get some Redrum. Yeah.

I'm so proud of you.

Be careful.

Redrum, girl. Come on.

Oh, hello.

All right, ladies, nothing to see here.

Moving out.

Let's not just do this,

let's step up to this!

Come on and get some, baby.

You got this guy, Walter.

Just stay on your feet.

Keep moving, all right?

Walter! Walter! Walter!

Keep your hands up.

Let's do this.

Walt, let's go, baby. Hang in there.

That's it. That's it.

Come on, get him!

Yeah!

Come on, Walt. Yeah!

That's it, baby. Go!

You're going down, Redrum!

Punch to the face.

Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.

That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah. Just keep that up.

That's my boy!

-Do you see him? Do you see Henry?

-I'm looking.

Let's go, let's go! Yeah!

-Come in here.

-Yeah, baby!

All right. It's gonna be okay.

-What's going on with Henry?

-We're gonna find him. Listen to me.

The best way to help Henry

is to keep this fight going, okay?

So keep it going. Stay in it.

Yeah!

You got it. Come on now.

Get up, Walt. Push him off!

Nice, Walter. Get up! Get up!

All right.

Come on, Walt. Come on. You got this.

-Walt, turn into it!

-He's tapping, ref.

-He's tapping.

-No, he's not.

-He's not tapping.

-I see him, I see him. No, he's not.

-I heard him tap, ref.

-No, he's not.

Turn into it. That's it.

Hey, Baby Huey! I got your boy here!

-Walter!

-Hey.

Oh, yeah.

Again. Oh, yeah.

-Walter! Stay down, Walter!

-Come on, Walter. Get up!

-Get up, buddy!

-Fight me!

Don't get up! Don't get up! Stay down!

-Walter!

-Shut up.

Get up, Walter. Get up!

Just stay down.

You make him stay down.

Smart man would've stayed down.

Walter!

I'm just a knucklehead!

Yeah, baby! That's it!

Yes!

Yeah, baby, yeah!

You got him.

Yeah! That's it!

Lock it up.

Squeeze, baby. Squeeze!

Hold on. Squeeze.

No, no, no. Don't do it.

Don't you do it. No, no.

Don't you--

-Don't you tap out on me.

-He's tapping out. He's tapping out!

Everybody, quiet, please!

Everybody, quiet, please!

We're here for Earl Shoemacher,

a.k.a. Memphis Earl....

Come on, sister. Get out of my way.

What, you got a nun posse here?

You gonna kick my--

Oh, no, don't tase me, Sister.

Please, don't tase me. God!

I see you have this well in hand.

I like your style, sister.

--a.k.a. Hector Francois Gonzales,

a.k.a....

Oh, what the hell, is he here?

-Thank you very much.

-We got him!

They got him.

Yeah! Champion! That's right! Walter.

Who's the hero now?

Who's the champion?

You are. Walter Krunk!

Give me that. The big money.

Earl Shoemacher, you're under arrest...

...for kidnapping

and falsifying federal documents.

I can't-- I can't feel my tongue.

-Excuse me?

-I can't feel my tongue.

-I can't feel my tongue.

-Get him out of here.

Bye, Memphis Earl.

See you in the slammer.

Henry, come here.

Does anyone have an enormous pen?

So I can sign every cent of this

over to the orphanage.

Not to mention the money we made

on the road.

Did we avenge him? I think so.

-Son.

-Yeah?

You should know,

that money, what happened to it.

What are you talking about?

-I bet it all.

-What? How could you do that, Pop?

I'm a gambling junkie, kid.

But listen,

thankfully I can't resist an underdog.

My bookie laid 20-to-1 on Walter.

I bet the whole thing.

-What?

-We got another 80 grand.

That's awesome, Pop.

You're the best. The best.

Hello, Sister. I knew you'd warm up to me.

I'm incredibly charming.

This is all going to you

and the orphanage.

-You serious?

-Yes, I'm dead serious.

-Oh, my gosh.

-Listen. I know. I know.

Look, you're right. I used to be a loser.

But since I met you, I don't know,

I just feel like slightly less a loser?

Anyway, what I'm trying

to get at is that--

Thank you, thank you.

Eddie's in trouble!

-Hey.

-Hey, there she is.

Oh, my goodness. I'm almost done.

I'm so excited for you

to see the apartment. It's beautiful.

I bet it is.

-I gotta take care of something.

-Okay.

-See you.

-Okay.

Hey, buddy.

-It's not fair.

-What's not fair?

That you're my best friend

and you're leaving me.

Come on, scoot a little bit.

Well...

...what if I told you your best friend

was adopting a kid today?

-Really?

-Yeah.

I wouldn't leave you, man.

-I love you.

-I love you too.
