PREVIOUSLY ON LIGHTS OUT... YOU'VE BEEN LIVING BEYOND YOUR MEANS
FOR THE PAST -- I DON'T KNOW. HOW MANY YEARS?
WE GET ALL THAT. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
HAVE YOU CHOSEN A SPECIALTY?
FAMILY MEDICINE.
WELL, Y-YOU'LL HAVE TO RETHINK THAT.
NOT A CHANCE.
BEFORE MY SON PASSED AWAY,
I USED TO TAKE HIM TO SEE YOUR BROTHER FIGHT.
LIGHTS LEARY WAS HIS FAVORITE BOXER.
I'M MARGARET. I'M HAL BRENNAN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HEY. DON'T BE RUDE.
EVERYTHING'S BOOKED.
WE GOT REYNOLDS IN 10 WEEKS FOR THE TITLE.
THERESA'S ON BOARD. JOHNNY AND I ARE GOOD.
WE JUST NEED TO START TRAINING NOW.
DON'T YOU LISTEN? I'M NOT TRAINING YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
I WILL TAKE A LOOK AT YOU.
AT YOUR BODY, AT YOUR LIFE.
WE'LL SEE WHAT'S WHAT.
BUT I GOT TO WARN YOU --
YOU GOT A CRAZY MAN IN THE COCKPIT.
YOU TWO OBVIOUSLY GOT SOME ISSUES,
BUT THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
I JUST NEEDED A NEW TRAINER.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR BULLSHIT.
AND YOU WILL NOT STOP... GET OUT OF MY GYM.
...UNTIL YOU BLEED YOUR BROTHER DRY.
NOBODY NEEDS YOU HERE, ED.
WE DON'T -- WE DON'T WANT YOU, ED! YOU ARE GARBAGE, JOHNNY.
YOU ARE GARBAGE!
THAT'S ENOUGH! GET OFF!
AAH!
GOD!
Fumosa: TESTING -- ONE, TWO.
[ Imitating Howard Cosell ] THIS IS HOWARD COSELL.
AND...
IS THAT -- WE'RE ON?
POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR A SUSPECT IN THE ATTACK
ON PATRICK "LIGHTS" LEARY.
LEARY WAS STABBED OUTSIDE HIS BAYONNE BOXING GYM...
UH-HUH. ...TWO NIGHTS AGO BY AN UNKNOWN ASSAILANT...
UH-HUH. ...SAID TO BE A HOMELESS MAN.
IT'S A MINOR WOUND, DAD. [ FUMOSA CONTINUES, INDISTINCT ]
COUPLE OF STITCHES. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
Daniella: DAD, YOU GOT TO HYDRATE.
NURSE DANIELLA HAS GOT IT COVERED.
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
STAY DOWN THERE AND RELAX. CATCH A FISH FOR ME.
OKAY. I WILL.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
BYE, DAD.
LOOK WHO'S HERE, PATRICK.
AH! ALL THE LEARY LADIES.
Katie: BALLOONS! CAN I HAVE ONE?
OF COURSE YOU MAY, MY PRINCESS.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, KATIE?
THANK YOU, BARRY K. WORD.
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME.
[ LAUGHS ] OKAY, GIRLS. COME ON.
LET'S LEAVE YOUR DAD TO TALK IN PRIVATE.
ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU, THERESA.
MY HEART! MY HEART!
OH! BE STILL.
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE, BARRY.
THE LEAST I COULD DO, CHAMP.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
NOT BAD.
DOC SAYS I GOT LUCKY.
THRUST MISSED ALL THE MAJOR ORGANS.
JUST A FLESH WOUND. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.
ALL GOES WELL, I'LL BE BACK TO FULL-TIME TRAINING IN A MONTH.
A MONTH?
YOU DO KNOW YOUR FIGHT IS IN TWO.
AUGUST 14th.
I KNOW, BUT I MAY NEED TO PUSH TILL SEPTEMBER.
LIGHTS, YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE VENUE IS BOOKED.
THE UNDERCARD IS SET.
THE NETWORK HAS CLEARED THAT NIGHT
FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT.
I JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME.
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOU BATTLE REYNOLDS MORE THAN I DO.
BUT IF WE CANCEL NOW,
WE ARE LOOKING AT A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN PENALTIES.
COME ON, BARRY. DON'T PLAY THAT GAME.
I NEVER PLAY, PATRICK.
THE TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION.
IF YOU CAN'T GET ON IT, SOMEONE WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE.
EAT THE GRAPES.
THEY GOT VITAMIN E AND FLAVONOIDS.
GOOD FOR HEALING.
I'LL SEE MYSELF OUT.

* YOU DIDN'T STOP TO THINK ABOUT ME *
IT'S NO ONE'S FAULT.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
ED'S BACK UPSTATE. LET HIM BE.
WELL, THEY DID A GOOD, CLEAN JOB.
HOW DOES IT FEEL?
LIKE I GOT STABBED IN THE GUT.
I'M OKAY.
LISTEN, IF I WANTED TO PUSH MYSELF,
HOW SOON COULD I GET BACK TO TRAINING?
OH, I WOULDN'T RUSH THIS.
YOUR INSIDES HAVE TO HEAL.
YOU GO BACK TOO SOON, TWIST THE WRONG WAY,
THERE'S A RISK OF INTERNAL BLEEDING.
AND IF I DON'T START TRAINING,
BARRY'S GONNA BUMP ME FROM THE FIGHT.
WHY DOESN'T HE JUST POSTPONE IT?
HE CLAIMS HE CAN'T.
AND IF REYNOLDS FIGHTS IN AUGUST,
HE WON'T FIGHT AGAIN TILL NEXT YEAR.
OH. WELL, YOU'LL BE FINE BY THEN.
BUT WE WON'T BE.
WE GOT TUITION COMING UP, MORTGAGE PAYMENTS.
WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY FROM THE MORALES FIGHT?
AFTER THE IRS GOT THROUGH WITH IT?
WE'RE RUNNING ON FUMES.
WE'LL BARELY MAKE IT TO THE FIGHT.
WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
UNTIL WE DO,
CAN YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING THAT'LL SPEED UP THE HEALING?
YOU DON'T SPEED HEALING UP, PATRICK.
YOU WAIT FOR IT.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
[ PILLS RATTLING ]
YOU OKAY THERE, BIG GUY?
ONLY HURTS WHEN I BREATHE.
JESUS.
I'M A WRECK OVER IT.
I TOLD YOU -- I DON'T BLAME ANYBODY.
I STILL CAN'T SLEEP.
IT'S A GOOD THING I QUIT VICODIN
OR I'D ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY EXTRA.
I JUST SAID I'M NOT ASKING.
HOW'D IT GO WITH BARRY?
HE STILL PUTTING THE SQUEEZE ON US?
YOU GOT STABBED. HE WANTS HIS POUND OF FLESH.
HALF A MILLION, UP FRONT -- BY SUNDAY.
SO IT'S A SHAKEDOWN.
WHAT IF WE CALL HIS BLUFF?
TRIED THAT.
HE CLAIMS HE'LL GET ANOTHER FIGHTER.
DO YOU BELIEVE HIM?
THIS IS THE BIGGEST FIGHT HE'S HAD IN YEARS.
HE FIGURES EIGHT OR NINE MONTHS FROM NOW,
IT'LL BE THAT MUCH BIGGER.
WE'RE IN A RUSH. HE ISN'T.
THERE IS SOMEONE WE COULD CALL.
BRENNAN?
WE JUST FINISHED PAYING HIM OFF FOR THE MORALES FIGHT.
WE KNOW HE'S GOOD FOR IT.
THE MAN KILLS PEOPLE, JOHNNY.
WE DON'T WANT HIM IN OUR LIFE.
YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA?
[ INTERCOM BEEPS ]

UH, YEAH, I'M LOOKING FOR RICHARD.
I'M SORRY. HE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORKOUT.
That's okay. I just need a few minutes.
YOU CAN SAY NO.
HI, JENNIFER.
PATRICK.
NICE PLACE.
WE'RE BLESSED.
HE'S OUTSIDE. UPSTAIRS.
[ WEIGHTS CLANKING, MID-TEMPO HIP-HOP PLAYING ]
HEY, RICH. SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
SO, YOU FOUND A NEW WAY TO DUCK ME.
I'M NOT DUCKING.
I WANT THIS FIGHT AS MUCH AS YOU DO.
THEN I'LL SEE YOU IN VEGAS. AUGUST 14th.
THE THING IS,
I MAY NEED TO POSTPONE FOR A FEW WEEKS.
MAYBE A MONTH. IT'S LIKE A TRAINING INJURY.
YOU MEAN A TRAINER INJURY. AND I WARNED YOU ABOUT ROMEO.
I TOLD YOU THAT FOOL WAS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.
THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ROMEO.
MAN, YOU COME HERE WITH YOUR HAT IN YOUR HAND
AND YOU LIE TO ME?
NOT SMART.
RICH, I'M NOT HERE TO BEG.
OH, NO? THEN WHY?
YOU WANT TO SEE HOW A REAL WORKING BOXER LIVES?
HOW MUCH THAT CHAMPIONSHIP I TOOK OFF OF YOU
HAS BEEN WORTH TO ME?
11,300 SQUARE FEET, PARTNER.
LOOK AROUND.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE STILL ON.
I GOT A CONTRACT, PATRICK.
IF YOU CAN'T MAKE OUR DATE,
THAT DOES NOT LET ME OUT OF MY OBLIGATION.
COME ON. BARRY'S YOUR GUY.
YOU STAND STRONG, TELL HIM YOU DON'T WANT TO FIGHT ANYONE ELSE,
WE GET THE REMATCH WE BOTH WANT.
WE?
I DON'T OWE YOU NOTHING.
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
DR. WILSON?
OH. HELLO, THERESA.
DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?
PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
JUST EDITING MY SPEECH FOR COMMENCEMENT DAY.
I ASSUME YOU'RE COMING.
YES.
AND YOU'RE STILL COMING TO DINNER ON SATURDAY?
OF COURSE.
IT TURNS OUT YOU, UM, HAVE EVEN MORE TO CELEBRATE.
THE FACULTY HAS DECIDED TO HONOR YOU
WITH THE FEENER AWARD.
OH.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS, DO YOU?
NO. NONE. [ BOTH LAUGH ]
IT'S FOR THE STUDENT WHO DEMONSTRATES EXCELLENCE
IN PATIENT CARE.
IT COMES WITH A STIPEND FOR NEXT YEAR.
YOU DON'T SEEM TOO EXCITED.
OH, I'M VERY GRATEFUL, REALLY.
IT'S JUST... ABOUT NEXT YEAR.
THERE'S SOMETHING I WANTED TO TELL YOU.
I DON'T THINK I CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH MY RESIDENCY.
WHY?
I'VE DECIDED TO LOOK FOR A JOB IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR INSTEAD.
AFTER ALL YOUR SUPPORT,
I-I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO FIND OUT FROM SOMEONE ELSE.
THERESA, YOU'VE BEEN ACCEPTED AT ST. LUCY'S.
YOU'VE WON GRANTS.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
IT'S JUST, I'VE...
I'VE HIT A WALL.
YOU'RE A HEALER, THERESA.
I KNOW YOU DIDN'T PUSH YOURSELF THROUGH MED SCHOOL
TO BECOME A... DRUG LOBBYIST.
NO. NO, I DIDN'T.
BUT THINGS CHANGE.
I CAN'T WAIT THREE MORE YEARS TO START EARNING AN INCOME.
I-I JUST CAN'T.
DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR HUSBAND'S INJURY?
OH, HE'S FINE.
BUT I DON'T WANT PATRICK TO KEEP TAKING PUNCHES
JUST TO PUT FOOD ON OUR TABLE.
I'M SO SORRY, THERESA.
I'M -- I'M GONNA PRAY THAT THINGS CHANGE FOR YOUR FAMILY.
IN THE MEANTIME, I'LL SEE IF I CAN MAKE SOME CALLS.
THANK YOU.
Dr. Brennan: ALL CLEANED UP. WE READY?
LISTEN, I'M A LITTLE LIGHT, DOCTOR.
I'LL GET YOU THE REST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I'M NOT WORRIED. JUST DROP IT ON THE BENCH.
SO, YOU IN A LOT OF PAIN?
NOT SO MUCH.
HOW DEEP WAS THE WOUND?
SCISSORS. THAT FAR IN.
BREATHE.
[ INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY ]
AGAIN.
I'M NOT EXPECTING MIRACLES.
I'VE BEEN TOLD YOU CAN'T SPEED UP THE HEALING PROCESS.
REALLY? WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
DON'T WORRY.
I'M NOT GONNA LET BARRY SCREW US OUT OF A $10 MILLION PAYDAY.
WELL, THERE'S NO SHAME IN ASKING FOR HELP, FINDING A BACKER.
OH, DID YOU WIN THE LOTTERY?
NOT ME. WHOEVER YOU'VE GONE TO IN THE PAST.
I'M TURNING OVER EVERY ROCK, MAGS.
HEY, YOU WANT SOME PIE, HANDSOME?
NO, THANK YOU.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, I SHOULD PROBABLY TURN OVER SOME MORE.
HEY, CAN YOU TAKE DYLAN TO A MOVIE OR SOMETHING?
NOW? NO. I'VE GOT PLANS.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
OUT. IF IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU.
STAY AS LONG AS YOU LIKE. GET HIM TO EAT SOMETHING.
[ BELL CHIMES ]
SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH YOUR MOM'S NEW BOYFRIEND?

HE'S OKAY. HE GAVE ME THIS BOOK TO DRAW IN.
HE SAID HE WAS GONNA TAKE ME TO A COMIC BOOK SHOW.

HEY, YOU WANT TO GO SEE A YANKEES GAME THIS WEEKEND?
I KNOW A GUY WHO CAN GET US GREAT SEATS BEHIND THIRD BASE.
WHO'S THAT MAN WITH AUNT MARGARET?
[ LAUGHS ]
[ REGISTER BEEPING, CLICKING ]
WE'RE GONNA TRY A LITTLE BIT OF A COCKTAIL HERE FIRST.
[ CELL PHONE RINGING ]
WE'RE GONNA START WITH PREDNISONE
TO REDUCE THE INFLAMMATION AND EASE THE PAIN.
IS THIS LEGIT?
IT'S NOT A PERFORMANCE ENHANCER. IT JUST PROMOTES HEALING.
THEN WHY DIDN'T MY WIFE SUGGEST IT?
MM, PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WEAKENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.
SO WE'RE GONNA MIX IN A FEW RETINOIDS
AND TERPENOIDS TO COUNTERACT THAT.
TURN AROUND.
GET YOU BACK IN THE RING BY THE 14th.
HERE WE GO.
HAL BRENNAN?
YEAH. SHE GOT INTO HIS CAR AND KISSED HIM.

APPARENTLY THERE'S STILL NO INTERNET IN LONDON.
OH, HEY, YOU HAVEN'T RSVP'd FOR MY COMMENCEMENT.

YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS?
WELL, I PROMISED NOT TO SAY ANYTHING.
SHE WAS AFRAID YOU'D MEDDLE.
SINCE WHEN ARE YOU AND MARGARET HANGING OUT?
SHE MAY FINALLY HAVE MET SOMEONE.
WELL, HE SOUNDS LIKE A GENTLEMAN.
HE TAKES HER OUT, BUYS HER NICE JEWELRY.
HE'S NOT A GOOD GUY, THERESA.
SHE SAID HE HAD A PAST
BUT HE'S TURNED THINGS AROUND FOR HIMSELF.
YOU DON'T GET IT, THERESA.
ENLIGHTEN ME.
NO.
NEVER MIND. IT'S A FAMILY THING.
EXCUSE ME?
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT IN A BAD WAY.
OH. WELL, HOW DID YOU MEAN IT, JOHNNY?
HE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING, OKAY?

AND, UH, THEY'RE HOPING I CAN GET THE INSIDE DOPE

AND, UH, ED ROMEO DISAPPEARED THE SAME DAY.

I SWEAR TO YOU, ED DID NOT STAB ME.
THE TRAINING WAS GOING GREAT. BEST I'D FELT IN YEARS.
MAYBE EVER.
SO IF THE FIGHT COMES BACK, HE WOULD STILL BE YOUR TRAINER?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IF THE FIGHT COMES BACK?
IT NEVER WENT AWAY.
REALLY?
THEN WHY ARE BARRY'S PEOPLE CALLING MANAGERS
FROM HERE TO EASTERN EUROPE?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE FOR THE UNDERCARD.
QUOTE ME -- THE FIGHT'S ON, AND REYNOLDS IS GOING DOWN.
[ PEN SCRATCHING ]
I'LL, UH, TRY TO JAZZ THAT UP FOR YOU.
HEY, LIGHTS, IT'S NOT MY JOB TO GIVE ADVICE,
BUT, UH, YOU DO KNOW NOT TO TRUST THESE PEOPLE, RIGHT?
OTHER BOXERS?
I CAN ASSURE YOU THOSE ARE ALL VICIOUS RUMORS.
LIGHTS, YOU'RE MY CLIENT. I ONLY WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.
THAT'S GREAT NEWS, CHAMP.
I ONLY ASK ONE THING --
COULD YOU TALK TO ONE OF MY DOCTORS FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES?
GREAT.
NOW, YOU STAY STRONG, PATRICK.
LIGHTS THINKS HE CAN MAKE THE DATE?
THE MAN IS DESPERATE.
HE'S TRYING TO GET US IN DEEPER,
AND THEN WHEN IT'S TOO LATE TO BOOK MUSTAFA,
HE'LL ASK FOR HIS POSTPONEMENT AGAIN.
SO WHY DON'T WE JUST GIVE HIM ONE?
YOU WANT TO FRONT THE PENALTY FEES?
HOW MUCH? MILLIONS.
BESIDES, IF YOU FIGHT HIM NOW, HE'S DAMAGED GOODS.
HE'LL HAVE FIVE MORE YEARS TO MAKE EXCUSES.
AND IF I DON'T, PEOPLE WILL SAY I'M DUCKING HIM.
DEATH ROW, YOU ARE A WARRIOR.
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. AND SO IS MUFASTA.
MUSTAFA.
30-1, 28 KOs. UKRAINIAN MUSLIM.
FIGHTING DEATH ROW REYNOLDS, DEFENDER OF AMERICA'S FREEDOM.
DON'T EVEN MAKE SENSE, BARRY.
IF THE MAN'S UKRAINIAN,
HE'S GOING AFTER RUSSIANS, NOT AMERICANS.
DON'T LET FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF THE STORY, CHAMP.
WRAP A TOWEL AROUND HIS HEAD, YOU GOT A RELIGIOUS WAR
AND A $15 MILLION PAYDAY ON YOUR HANDS.
HUGE. TRUST ME.
IT'S JUST THAT IN MY MIND,
ALL I CAN SEE IS ME AND LIGHTS IN THE RING,
LIGHTS GOING DOWN.
RICHIE, SEVEN YEARS AGO,
I TOLD YOU WE'D GET TO THE PROMISED LAND.
HERE WE ARE.
NOW I'M PROMISING YOU -- YOU WI TAKE LIGHTS OUT.
I JUST WANTED THIS TO BE MY LAST FIGHT.
YOU WANT THAT FIGHT. LIGHTS WANTS IT.
EVERYBODY WANTS IT.
I JUST NEED YOU TO WALK WITH ME JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
OH, GOD.
OOH.
LOOK AT YOU.
WHERE YOU BEEN?

I KNOW THIS THING WITH MARGARET AND BRENNAN
HAS GOT US BOTH A LITTLE FREAKED OUT,
BUT COMPARED TO SOME OF THE HOODS I'VE BEEN TALKING TO,
HE'S A GODDAMN SAINT.
WE MAY NOT NEED ANY OF THEM.
I CALLED BARRY, TOLD HIM I'M FEELING PRETTY GOOD.
GONNA TRY TO MAKE THE DATE.
YEAH? WHAT'S THERESA SAY ABOUT THAT?
SHE DOESN'T KNOW. I WENT FOR A SECOND OPINION.
HEY, LIGHTS!
YOU GOT A MINUTE?

Johnny: YEAH. SEND HIM IN.
JUST THE CHAMP.
I WAS SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT.
MY BROTHER SAYS YOU'RE A VERY LUCKY MAN.
ALWAYS.
I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME TO SEE YOU TAKE REYNOLDS OUT.
I HOPE THEY DON'T USE THIS TO ROB YOU AGAIN.
WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH MY SISTER?
WE'RE SEEING EACH OTHER, LIGHTS.
I LIKE MARGARET. I HOPE SHE LIKES ME.
YOU LIKE HER?
I HAVEN'T CARED THIS MUCH ABOUT A WOMAN SINCE...
I HAVEN'T DATED IN A LONG TIME.
JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR --
YOU MAY BE IN BED WITH HER,
BUT THAT ISN'T GONNA HELP YOU GET IN BED WITH ME.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE LIKES YOU OR NOT.
HE'S A BAD GUY.
HE CAME UP THE SAME WAY WE DID, PAT,
AND HE MADE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF. HE'S A GANGSTER.
A KNOWN CRIMINAL.
IS THAT BETTER THAN BEING AN UNKNOWN CRIMINAL?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

BREAKING A DENTIST'S ARM?
HE TOLD YOU THAT?
HE TOLD ME HE KNEW YOU WERE IN A BIND
AND H-HE TRIED TO TOSS YOU AN EASY JOB... GIVE ME A BREAK.
...AND THEN THINGS WENT WRONG, AND HE STOOD BY YOU, DIDN'T HE?
HUH? WHEN DID HE TELL YOU THIS?
COUPLE DAYS AGO, AFTER YOU GOT STABBED.
HE'S PLAYING YOU, MARGARET. HE'S PLAYING ALL OF US.
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK, PAT?
I THINK YOU TOOK TOO MANY BLOWS TO THE HEAD.
IT'S OVER. YOU'RE NOT SEEING HIM ANYMORE.

YOU PROMISED ME THIS WAS GONNA BE YOUR LAST FIGHT.
NO. NO. I SAID LIGHTS WOULD BE MY LAST FIGHT.
AND YOU TOLD THIS TO BARRY?

OF COURSE.
WHAT?
THE DAY BARRY LETS YOU FIGHT LIGHTS
IS THE DAY HE LOSES HIS GOLDEN GOOSE.
COME ON. THAT'S NOT WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND FIGHT REYNOLDS ANYTIME --

EXCUSE ME. RICHARD, WE NEED TO TALK.
I'M WITH FAMILY, MAN. COME ON.
IT'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.
YOU STAY. THIS IS BETWEEN US.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I GOT THIS.
ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT YOU WANT?
YOU'RE NOT REALLY GONNA RETIRE BEFORE WE SETTLE THINGS.
I GAVE YOU YOUR CHANCE.
NO, I GAVE YOU YOUR CHANCE.
I WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
I COULD HAVE DUCKED YOU,
FOUGHT A BUNCH OF HAM-AND-EGGERS LIKE YOU'VE DONE.
NO, I DOMINATED THE DIVISION FOR FIVE YEARS.
DON'T KID YOURSELF.
ALL ANYONE WILL REMEMBER IS I CAME BACK,
YOU DUCKED ME, THEN YOU RETIRED.
[ CHUCKLES ] GIVE IT UP, LIGHTS.
YOU'RE PART OF MY PAST.
YOU KNOW, ROMEO WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU.
HE SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART FOR ANOTHER WAR.
ROMEO, HUH? THAT YOU'D FOLD ONCE YOU GOT IN THE RING WITH ME.
ROMEO. WHY WOULD I CARE WHAT A CRAZY MAN TOLD YOUR ASS?
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SCARY, HUH? BEING RAISED BY A CRAZY MAN.
GOT NO IDEA, 'CAUSE HE DIDN'T RAISE ME. OH, NO?
HE SAYS HE PULLED YOU OFF THE STREET.
YOU WERE ILLITERATE. COULD BARELY WIPE YOUR OWN ASS. RAGS TO RICHES, SON.
GREAT AMERICAN STORY. GET TO KNOW IT. HE SAID YOUR MOTHER WAS A CRACK ADDICT.
ABUSED YOU, THREW YOU OUT.
YOU GOT TOSSED FROM ONE FOSTER HOME TO ANOTHER.
NEVER EVEN KNEW YOUR DAD.
ROMEO WAS YOUR FIRST ONE, AND NOW YOU GOT BARRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THIS HARD UP FOR A PAYDAY.
TAKE IT. WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK FOR THE CASH?
ALL THAT MONEY, AND YOU'RE STILL ON BARRY'S LEASH?
CAN'T EVEN CHOOSE THE FINAL OPPONENT OF YOUR CAREER. I CHOSE HIM, AND YOU BLEW IT.
WHAT'S THE POINT? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GOT STABBED.
YOU BLEW THAT. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
AND THAT'S WHAT I AM. YOU BLEW IT.
YEAH. ALL YOU ARE IS BARRY'S LITTLE HOUSEBOY.

NOW, COME ON, KATIE.
KATIE, WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU READY.
WHAT ARE YOU -- LISTEN.
JESUS.
THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 'CAUSE I THREW THE FIRST PUNCH.
HE PROVOKED ME, RIGHT? YOU SAW THAT.
YOU SAW IT? IT'S OKAY.
DID YOU SEE IT, THOUGH?
YES, BUT YOU'RE DONE WITH HIM.
THE HELL I AM DONE WITH HIM.
HE'S GONNA PAY FOR THIS.
YOU'RE GONNA WAKE THE BABY.
SO WHAT?! WAKE THE BABY UP!
HE'S GONNA PAY!
