Now, shut up.

My bad, Coach Vig.

Shut up!

Way to go, Stemler.

Shut up, Stemler.

They really pin all of you?

Just about.

It's gonna be a f***ing bloodbath.

All right, Carlos. Kyle.

Okay. This is Kenny Randall.

He's very good.

Yeah, I heard.

All right, but you have an advantage here.

He has no idea who you are, right?

He's gonna be over-confident.

Take advantage of that.

He's gonna come at you, definitely.

Use his momentum, take a shot,

and put him away. Okay?

Okay.

Yeah?

- and Randall, Sheffie d.

Why'd Daddy hit Kyle?

I have no dea.

Come on, guys.

Focus, Kyle, focus.

Let's go, baby. Let's go, Kyle!

Look alive! Look alive!

Let's go, come on! Come on!

VIG:

Be a winner, Kyle:

Shake hands.

Don't wait. Go after him.

Take your time, Kenny.

Work around, take him down.

No way.

Holy sh*t. Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!

He just pinned Kenny Randall.

Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!

Guys, guys, guys, calm down.

Calm down, calm down, alright?

There you go, Kyle!

How about that?

He knows who I am now.

You're goddamned right he does!

Hi.

Hey.

Can I watch TV in here?

Oh, yeah.

Oh. Wait, I wanna

show you something first.

Ste la, who's that?

She started doing that

at the wrest ing match today.

That's cool.

Yeah.

Okay, I gotta ask. Those tattoos.

They must have hurt, right?

Not really.

No, come on, don't I e to me.

Look.

I got it on spring break. Hurt I ke hell.

What does it say?

J.B.J.

Really?

Yes, rea y.

I'm a Jersey girl.

You got a problem with that?

No, I do not.

That was fun today. You're good.

I'm glad you started wrestling again.

Yeah. Me too.

No quitting this time. You got that?

Yeah.

Can tell you something?

Of course.

I didn't quit my old wrestling team.

I got thrown off.

Why?

I stole a car.

What? You don't even drive, do you?

No.

That was part of the problem.

Whose car did you steal?

A teacher's.

Oh, my God.

I know.

It was really stupid.

Yeah, it was really stupid.

You could have killed yourse f.

Yeah.

Everything just got messed up after that.

Hey. We all do stupid things.

But the good news is

you got another chance.

And you're kicking butt.

That's the way to do it.

Yeah, I guess.

Oh, totally is.

You know who'd agree with me?

Mike?

No.

J.B.J.

Ha, ha.

Why you wanna tell me

How to llve my life?

Who are you to tell me

If it's black or white?

Mama, can you hear me?

Try to understand

Is innocence the difference

Between a boy and a man?

My daddy llved a lle

That's just the price that he paid

Sacrificed his life just slaving away

Oh, If there's one thing I hang on to

That gets me through the night

Oh...

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to

Gotcha. Ow.

Ow.

Too hard, bro.

Shining like a diamond

Rolling with the dice

Good?

Yeah, go!

Whoa!

Oh, sh*t!

Awesome. Unh.

Yeah, baby! Unh.

Have a nice day

They don't have a heavywe ght.

Really?

No.

Korsic will be happy.

Tell him so he doesn't puke.

He doesn't have to lose weight.

Why's he puking?

Nerves.

Ner-

Oh, well, this is a team for the ages.

Hey, guys. What's up?

Stemler wants to wrestle today.

Heh.

Ter.

Oh.

You do?

Yeah, coach.

I'm pretty sure I'm ready. Right?

Right.

Where you gonna wrestle, Stemler?

He can wrestle at 119.

If I bump up to 125 and get a pin,

and Jimmy goes 130...

...then we're only giving up one weight

class and we actually have a shot.

Vig?

Yeah. He's right.

It's possible.

Stemler...

...have you ever wrestled in a match before?

No, I have not.

He's just waiting for the green light, right?

Right.

I think now's my time.

I feel the force.

One twenty-five.

Okay.

Okay, we're gonna start 125,

DePasquale and Timmons.

And then finish 119,

Tomlinson and Stemler.

I'm ready, coach.

Showtime.

Good.

Oh, boy.

It's gonna be fine.

Hook him, come on! That's it!

Now ho d on to him!

Hook the arm, Carlos, that's it!

Stay on him!

Hang on to him! Hang on to him!

Yeah!

Very good.

Good boy, good boy, good boy.

Great, Carlos! Awesome.

How we doing?

Sh*t, we can win this thing.

If Stemler doesn't get pinned,

we can win. We're up five.

That's a huge f***ing "if."

I can hear you, coach.

Sorry, Stemler.

Okay, come on, Stemler, let's go.

Okay.

All right, buddy.

You've been practicing a long time.

A long time.

Yeah. Yeah.

And you're ready for this, okay?

You get in trouble,

you just listen to me. I'm right here.

Okay? All right?

Stemler, you're not gonna get pinned.

You are not gonna get p nned.

No way, a I right?

Now, I'm gonna slap you. You ready?

Yeah, but not so hard.

Thanks.

Okay.

Let's get this going here!

You gotta check in.

Sign in.

Let's go, Stem! Let's go!

You got this:

Holy sh*t, it's Darth Vader.

Are you kidding me?

No way.

What?

I can't do this.

No.

What are you-?

Don't take that off.

It's just a mask.

For chrissake, Stemler.

Stemler.

MIKE:
It's a protective mask.

What's going on?

If he's Darth Vader,

you're the Secret Apprentice.

You got this.

Ref, what's he doing?

Okay?

Alright.

Let's go.

All right, Stemler.

Let's go, Stem.

Good man, let's go. Let's go.

All over him. Right here.

Shake hands.

Don't give an inch.

All right, Stemler.

All right.

Good.

Alright.

Okay.

Thattaboy. Good start. Alright.

Just keep trying.

I can't watch this.

Let's go, ref! This kid's not doing anything!

It's stalling!

MIKE:
Doing great, Stemler.

Come on, Stemler!

Focus.

Keep it going!

Tough it out, buddy!

All right, Stemler.

Stalling, green.

One, red.

Sh*t. Sh*t.

Just keep going.

We're one point from a tech fall.

We're gonna lose on criteria.

No sh*t. Really?

If he loses by 15 points it's a technical fall...

...and even though the score is tied,

we're gonna lose.

Serously?

All right, f*** this.

Hey, Stemler. Stemler!

L sten to me. You need to get up, buddy!

All right? He is trying to drown you!

He wants you dead! Okay?

But you are not gonna die

on the bottom, are you, Stemler? Right?

You hear me?

All right, you remember the move?

Whatever the f*** it takes.

Whatever the f*** it takes! Get up!

Come on, Stemler!

Wrestle him! Wrest e him!

Let's go, Stemler!

Keep going, buddy!

Go shake his hand. Shake his hand!

Thank you very much.

I'm proud of what you did today.

That win meant a lot to the guys.

Yeah. Good coaching with Stemler.

Yeah.

Let me ask you something, Kyle.

What's it like to be as good as you are?

What's that feel like?

I don't know.

I guess it just feels like I'm in control.

Of everything, you know?

Yeah, I do. Must be nice.

It is.

Get your leg free. Greg, get your leg free.

Gotta get your leg free. Arch your back!

Arch! Arch! Fight! Arch! Fight it!

Get your leg free!

Get your leg free! Arch! Up, up, reach!

Reach! Fight it!

District champs, baby.

Yep.

Pure f***ing poetry, baby!

District champs, baby.

Hey, Leo.

Yeah.

Guess who just won the districts.

Who?

I did.

Check it out.

Wow.

And guess what.

What?

Mike got a call
