Shit.
Fuck.
Your place is really nice.
Thank you. I like it.
Who else lived here?
Don't look so caught. You're not in trouble.
Okay. How'd you know?
Because... I can feel her.
You can feel her?
Like she's a fucking ghost, you can feel her?
No. Like she's a fucking woman.
Her name is Lisa.
We split up a few months ago. She's up in San Francisco.
And how long were you together?
About three years.
How come you never got married?
Same reason why she's not here right now.
Just wasn't right.
You want to... You want to get into all this now?
Oh, God, no. No, don't run me off yet.
- I'm still having fun. - Good.
Good. Me too.
Where you going?
I... You know, I got to pick up my kid.
Shit. You got a kid.
No, I'm just fucking with you.
I got to go to work.
That's not funny.
That is not funny.
Did you get enough?
Yeah. Thank you.
You haven't heard from your brother, have you?
No.
I tried calling him a couple times.
That fucking Ava.
What do you think of her?
I don't know her.
I think Jay's feeding off of her.
I think Jay's feeding off himself.
And she's just doing whatever he wants.
Well, I just wish he'd call.
He'll be at the fight.
He wouldn't miss that.
Yeah, if he knows about it.
I'm gonna finish packing. I'll be back to pick you up around 5:00, okay?
I'll be here.
All right.
I need to start training.
Why?
I have to fight.
No.
Let's just stay here until it runs out.
If I fight...
then it won't run out.
We can stay here for as long as we want.
I don't want you to get hurt.
I won't. I'm pretty good.
You ever think about leaving LA?
I guess that would depend where.
Have you been to South America?
Yeah, I went when I was little, when my dad was fighting.
We could go there.
We wouldn't need that much money.
It's so beautiful, and the people are nice.
No habla español.
- I do. - Yeah?
I can do the speaking for us.
Aren't you Cuban?
I want to go to Cuba.
I can't.
My dad hates Castro.
He'd never forgive me.
I can still fight in South America.
They love it. They respect fighters.
- No. - Yeah.
No more fighting.
Let's just take care of each other.
Are you fucking kidding me? Of course it's staph.
- Look at it. - No!
Just put your fucking pants on, you filthy animal.
Shelby!
Sure you got it here?
- Fucking hurts. - Can't get a break.
- What's up? - Call Josephina, tell her to get down here
with her fucking women and a lot of mops
and mop the entire fucking gym up and down.
You understand me? I need it done now.
- Why? - 'Cause he's got staph.
Who else is here?
- Ryan and Alicia. - Tell them I want to talk to them.
And I need a list of everybody who's been training here.
Everyone needs to get checked, including you.
- You think I have it? - Yes, you definitely have it.
Go get checked. Call. Go, go.
Hurry. Hurry!
Okay!
I'm sorry for all this, man.
Killing me, bro. You're killing me.
All right. Don't touch... Don't fucking touch anything!
- Don't touch nothing. - Jesus Christ.
Just get out! Don't even... I'll send your shit to you!
I'm leaving. I'm leaving.
Hey, Nate. It's me.
Listen, don't come down to the gym. Mac's got staph.
I got to get the place cleaned up, okay? So stay home,
and I'll come to you. Okay.
- Hey, Alvey. - Ron.
- How you doing? - What are you doing here?
Something happen?
No, everything's fine. Lisa's fine. In fact, she's doing a lot better.
I just needed to speak with you,
and I wanted to make sure we did it in person.
Okay.
- Has Lisa called you? - Nope.
Come on, man. You gotta be honest with me.
I'm being honest with you, man. I texted her about a dozen times.
She texted me back. She didn't wanna talk.
That's it. That's what happened. I mean, what the hell's going on?
Well, she's thinking of coming back to LA.
I don't think she should. She needs to stay in San Francisco
with me and her brothers.
What's that have to do with me?
Well, we need to help her. She's not thinking straight.
Help her? How can I help her? Can't tell her where to live.
Well, I got a few thoughts about that.
I'm sure you do.
I love my daughter. That's all this is.
Just let me take you to dinner. I'll tell you where I'm coming from.
Can't do it tonight, Ron. My son's fighting.
I can't. Let's just talk here.
I can't have this conversation in the middle of a parking lot.
It's too important.
Come on, Alvey. It's for Lisa.
All right. I'll be done around 11:00 tonight.
Okay. Tell me where you're gonna be.
- I'll come to you. - All right.
I'm just trying to help her. That's all this is.
Hi. Hello.
Good afternoon. You're a little late today, huh?
Could I have four, possibly, today?
No. Problem.
You have any bottled water, ma'am?
Still no? Okay.
Thank you.
And...
You should consider getting bottled water for your cart.
It would be a lovely addition.
Still no water. I'm gonna have to go to the store.
- We're getting low. - What's left?
Three Oxys, little bit of coke, and we shot all the heroin I had.
Can you call your guy?
I don't have a guy.
This is stuff I brought from Miami.
Don't you have someone?
I have Mac.
I have...
Can you... Can you ask him?
Yeah, I can call. What else do we need?
Like, an eight-ball, more Oxys, and some Valium.
And I really, really would like to shoot up with you again.
Mac doesn't have heroin.
Can you ask?
That was fun.
Yeah, I can ask.
You were very giving.
Yeah?
Thanks, baby.
Will you fuck me first?
- Is that what you want? - Yeah.
Yeah?
Is that what you want?
Come on.
- Ryan! - Yeah.
- Hey. Where you going? - Home.
Can I come?
What's the matter? You starting to get a little lonely here?
I know this shit is depressing. I used to sleep at the old gym.
Look...
I just really hate germs, okay?
And I don't wanna stay here until they clean this place right.
I know. It sucks.
Come on! You fucking owe me! You screwed me out of staying at Alvey's.
Don't owe you shit. I don't tell you what to do.
I don't even care, all right? Just for a couple nights.
I'll cook and clean and shit.
Will you do my laundry?
Your clothes will be so fresh.
What about Keith's laundry?
I'll fold that shit perfect.
I charge rent.
I'll work for it.
Hi. Come on in.
Where's Nate?
He's out in the back.
Okay.
Alvey.
I'm sorry about Lisa and the baby.
Thanks.
It's heartbreaking.
How's she doing?
She's picking herself up. You know, what else is she gonna do?
Well just tell her I'm sorry.
I will.
How are you doing?
Me? I'm okay, you know? It's harder on her.
It's much harder on her.
So...
I better get back there.
Hello, giggles.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm shitty. I got a staph infection.
Nasty, nasty boy.
Come on in, but keep your fucking...
Keep your clothes on so you don't infect the goddamn room.
So many diseases around here.
- What did you bring me? - Okay.
All right, all right. Relax. I got it.
- Pardon me, sir. - I can get it.
Did you bring any H?
No, I didn't bring any heroin. Are you guys shooting fucking heroin?
No, we're not fucking shooting heroin, Mac.
We're not shooting heroin because we don't have any fucking heroin.
We don't have any heroin.
Then what did you bring?
Can I talk to you alone for a second?
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
As you can see, she used to fucking model.
The fuck is going on here?
You're living like a shithead.
Are you shooting fucking heroin?
Mac.
You know... I'm fucking...
I'm enjoying my win, Mac.
That's what I'm fucking doing.
I'm enjoying my win.
And that's hard fucking work.
Yeah, I'm not giving you anything today.
Excuse me?
You're way too fucked up,
and I don't want anything to do with this fucking situation.
I'm too fucked up, huh?
- What if your mom came and saw this shit? - My mother?
My fucking mom, Mac?
- You fucking shut your mouth. - Fuck did you say to me?
I said shut your fucking mouth about my mother, Mac.
- Are you kidding me right now? - No, I'm not fucking kidding you.
Get your finger out of my face.
You are a little bitch.
You're a little fucking bitch, Mac.
How fucking dare you.
You little bitch! My fucking mom?
Your brother's got a fucking fight tonight.
Yeah. Fuck, yeah. I know, Mac. I'm gonna be there, dude.
- Nah, maybe you shouldn't. - I'm gonna fucking be there.
- Sit here and wallow in your own shit. - I'll be there.
- Get out of my way. - Mac please. I'm sorry, dude.
I'm fucking sorry. I just need something, dude.
I need something, Mac. Please. You got some Oxy?
Please, dude. I need a minimum. Fucking God. Please, Mac. Please, Mac.
Please.
Mac, I love you, dude. Just fucking help me out right now.
- Thank you so much, dude. - Just shut up.
I know. Just...
Mac, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, dude.
Thank you, Mac. Thank you, dude. Thank you.
Thank you.
This is fucked up, man.
I know. I'm sorry.
Hey, buddy, put your dick away. We got a guest.
- Oh, shit. - My dick is away, thank you.
Hey, we got a lady here. You think you could...
You mind?
Hey, Keith.
Hey, Alicia.
Hi.
This is his favorite movie.
- It's not my favorite movie. - All right.
Maybe I can borrow it sometime.
I'd... rather you not.
- Ryan, why aren't you at the gym today? - They're cleaning it, dude.
Mac got staph infection.
Am I at risk?
You're safe and sound, bud.
Okay? But Alicia's gonna stay with us for a couple days, okay?
You... You're cool with that, right?
It's just not very convenient, to be honest.
I'm gonna stay outta your way. You're not even gonna know I'm here.
Yes, I will.
Keith.
Why don't you put your bag in my room? We'll sort it out.
And don't worry about the porn. I like it.
You don't have to turn it off 'cause of me.
You can watch it with her.
She's trying to be the cool girl, Ryan,
but I'm just trying to relax here.
- Keith. - What?
Was that a little rude?
Yeah, she's trying to move in with us.
- It's very rude. - No, Keith.
It's just for a couple days, right?
Good. You got it.
- The fuck is it? - What are you looking for?
The blender to make Nate's shake.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Don't use that peanut butter. It's old.
Okay.
Here you go. This one's new.
Thank you.
Do you think Nate is ready for this fight?
We'll find out.
Well, what do you think?
I think he's healthy, he wants to fight, he's put in the work.
We'll see how it goes.
I wish he'd quit. I wish he'd go to college.
College.
No, I think he's got his mind set on fighting right now.
It'll work itself out.
I'm glad he stayed with you.
I like seeing you two together.
Jay been around?
I haven't seen him in days. He's with that fucking Ava.
What do you think of her?
What do I think of her?
I think she reminds me of somebody I used to know.
Fuck off.
I was never like her.
I don't know.
You and I used to disappear every once in a while.
Yeah, but...
we always had fun.
We did have fun.
You really worried about him?
He's using a lot and acting crazy.
And...
I know he's got a gun, which scares the hell out of me.
All right. You know...
He's supposed to show up tonight. I'll talk to him.
I'm setting a fight with him and Ryan. Get him back in camp.
We'll get his head straight, okay?
Are you coming tonight?
I am.
Okay.
Honey, we really gotta go. We gotta go.
Okay.
How do I look?
Like you're gonna get me incarcerated.
- Yeah. - Why?
Because I get jealous and violent,
and there's gonna be a ton of fucking eyes on you.
Holy... fuck.
- Is that mine? - Yeah.
I hope your brother wins tonight.
- I like it when everyone's happy. - Me too. I agree.
You gotta fucking...
You got to put on a bra.
- It's a must. - Why? You don't like it?
I fucking love it. My mother's gonna be there.
Please just help me out. Help daddy out.
Okay.
This is taking forever.
Not really.
- Ryan. - What?
You know what this is, right?
She's dominating us.
Us men.
She's controlling when we go anywhere.
- Keith. - And...
- Keith. - What?
She's a chick, man. It just takes a little longer to get ready.
She's putting herself in charge, and she's aware of it.
How about you grab a brew and just sit down and chill with me?
It's a two-person house,
and she's making it so I can't even relax in my own home.
It's a couple days, Keith.
What if she drops anchor?
She literally doesn't have a fucking place to live.
You want me to throw her out on the streets?
I didn't say that.
- Hey. Oh, my God. - You guys ready?
- Look at her. - Very ready.
- She looks great, right? - Thank you.
She should look great. It took her long enough.
How's that feel?
What?
The tape. How's it feel?
Good.
Yeah? Joe, warm him up.
This is so fucking intense.
- What up, Michael? - Hey.
- What do you want to drink, huh? - Whiskey.
Two whiskeys. Two whiskeys, please.
Yeah, man.
Yes, sir.
- Keep it. - Thank you.
Are you Jay Kulina?
Yes, I am.
And who are you?
I'm Arturo, and this is my brother, Miguel.
Arturo and Miguel.
It is very nice to meet you gentlemen.
Can we have your autograph?
Yeah. Of course you can.
Of course you can. You got a pen, got paper.
Turn around. Face that cage. I'm gonna use your back, Miguel.
- Now, is this your younger brother? - Yeah.
Yeah. You take good care of him?
Yeah.
That's very important, all right? I want you to keep it up, you understand?
- Yeah. - There you go.
Hey. You're both fine young gentlemen.
Have a good fight night tonight.
Get out of here, guys.
Arturo, Miguel.
There you go. Miguel and Arturo.
- Boy! - You're so nice.
- Cheers to that. - Cheers.
I'm gonna go check on my brother. I'm gonna be back in a little bit, okay?
There's my baby-face killer.
Joseph, can you excuse us for a second?
Now, this is your fucking night.
Phase one, brick by brick.
- I gotta warm up. - It's how you build a fucking fortress.
Look at me when I talk to you.
Why don't you fucking look at me when I talk to you?
Why don't you fucking look at me?
Hey!
That's enough. Let's take a walk.
Keep working. Let's take a walk.
What the fuck are you doing? He's got a fight in a few minutes.
You come in here all fucking twisted? You want to get in his fucking head?
How fucked up are you right now?
How fucked up? Look at me.
You're gonna fucking piss it all away, aren't you?
- Aren't you? - Yeah.
Piss... Piss what?
- Piss fucking everything. - Piss what away?
Everything! Everything!
You were doing so fucking good. So fucking good, okay?
You know we're trying to put this fucking rematch together with Ryan, right?
- Right? - Yeah.
Just got to let his knee recover, 'cause, you know, I took advantage.
Come on. It was a fucking bullshit article.
The guy took a fucking angle.
Ryan never said it like that. You know that.
You want the fight? Do you want the fight?
Sure. I want the fight.
You better take it seriously, motherfucker.
You come in out of shape, he will fucking kill you. Do you understand?
If this is how you're living, bro. I don't know what you do anymore.
All I care about is that I get the same money as Ryan.
I don't need to get paid more.
I just need to get paid equal.
I'll talk to Garo. Okay?
But let me tell you something. You had your fucking little fun.
It's done. It's fucking over.
Get your shit together. Do you understand me?
And you're not in Nate's corner tonight, so go home. Get cleaned up.
You're a great athlete, Nate.
I don't know if you're a great fighter.
And the difference between good and great is immense.
It's a fucking hundred miles.
It's a mindset.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the cage, Nate Kulina!
Fuck him up!
Sir, you ready to fight? Sir, you ready to fight?
Fight!
You set the pace!
Keep circling! Keep circling! Good!
Keep moving. Keep moving!
Let's go, bitch!
Work it now! Work the finish!
Nice! Nice!
That's the way we fucking fight.
Beautiful! Sit down.
Beautiful. Breathe.
Small sips. Small sips, okay?
Listen to me. Listen to me.
Stay away from those kicks. All he has is those kicks.
He's got no hands. He's got no ground game.
When he comes in with the kicks, I want you to time them.
Shoot and take him down and fucking finish him, okay?
This motherfucker can't hang with you.
Mac.
Hey.
He can't hang with you. Your fucking fight, right?
Your fucking fight. I want you to fuck this guy up!
Second bell. Mouthpiece in.
Help him!
Hey, hey! Focus! Focus! In front of you! Come on!
You ready to fight?
Are you ready to fight?
Sir, are you ready to fight?
Nate, are you ready to fight?
Fight!
- Stay on him! - Good, good, good.
It's all you. It's all you.
Fuck! Watch the kick!
Hey.
I know it's a little late, but I'm sorry that I hit you.
You were drunk.
Yeah, I know, but I'm...
It's not an excuse. You're a friend. I was a dick.
I'm sorry.
Ryan, we're good.
All right.
How's your... How's your staph infection?
- It's gross. - Yeah.
But I'm on antibiotics, so it should be knocked out.
- Yeah, good. - You want to see?
No, no, no.
Hey, Mac.
Can you give us a minute?
Hey. I'm gonna be right outside, all right?
Hey.
Hey, Jay.
Listen, dude.
That article was fucked up, okay?
It was not my intention.
Yeah, I can't really talk right now.
No, I'm just saying. It...
My knee had nothing to do with it.
You were the better man, and it should have just stayed at that, all right?
Come on.
Hey.
You don't have to take the rematch if you don't want to.
I'm in.
You know that.
Right. Right.
But I'm saying you don't have to, Jay. You're the champ. You don't owe me shit.
It's happening.
Okay.
Hey.
Come on. Clean yourself up.
Stop.
Come on.
Okay. All right.
Come on. Okay. Ready?
Fuck. Fuck.
Thank you. Thank you.
Where are they taking him?
Mac's taking him back to the motel.
He should come back to the house.
He doesn't want to come back to the house. He wants to go be with Ava at the motel.
Well, she can come, too.
Nate!
You want me to throw him in the trunk of the car?
He doesn't want to fucking come.
He'll sleep it off tonight. It's fine.
You have to help him.
He won't listen to me.
He thinks I'm trying to ruin things with Ava, but he's...
You're the only one he'll listen to.
You have to get him out of that place.
I'll try.
Hey, Ron.
Hey! Did your son win?
He did. It was a great fight.
Good. Got that for you. That's the best they have.
Thanks.
Yeah, make it two.
I unfortunately don't have a lot of time, so what's on your mind?
Okay, well, first of all, Lisa's doing a lot better.
She's getting herself out of bed now, which is nice to see.
But she's got it in her mind
that she wants to come back here and run the gym with you.
And I want you to tell her no.
How do you suppose I do that?
Just tell her you don't need her.
I need her, man. I can't run the place without her.
Well, you can find a replacement.
What's wrong with you?
The woman was carrying my fucking child. I'm not gonna leave her out in the cold.
Let's be realistic here. What is she really coming back to, huh?
Your relationship is over. It didn't work.
The two of you aren't right for each other.
You're not happy. And now the baby?
She's never gonna get over that.
That's with her every minute of the day.
You want to carry that weight?
I don't think so, believe me.
She's not who she was.
Look, I know you're hurting. We all are.
But we got to put our emotions aside and do what's right.
She needs to be with her family.
That's not our fucking decision to make.
How's the gym? You making any money?
- Gym is fine. - Yeah.
- Yeah. You're struggling.
You were chasing after bad investments with your buddy.
Lisa told me about that.
And I get it.
Name your price.
- How much do you need? - Are you fucking kidding me?
A couple of hundred thousand dollars, it puts you back in the black.
- I can write you a check tonight. - Fuck this. I gotta...
Look, take the money. Alvey.
All you gotta do is tell her it's over.
We both love her.
We just got to make a hard choice here.
I got... Shit. I got...
Mac. Mac, thank you.
You're wonderful.
- Come here. Come here. - Yeah.
Spit your gum out.
- You got to watch him tonight. - I will.
Do you have any coke?
No.
I have cash.
I don't care if you got cash.
You're cut off.
Hey. Hey!
I've known Jay a lot longer than you.
And I'm not gonna stand around while you fuck him up.
You just fucking call me if he gets worse.
- Hi. - Hey.
What are you doing?
Well, I gave up on you, so I started working.
Yeah, sorry.
That's okay.
I actually got a lot done.
Well, that's good.
So, did he win?
He won. Thank God.
Great. Congratulations.
Yeah, no, it's... You know, it's such a long road back.
We're all...
We're all very happy.
Okay.
Because you don't sound too happy.
Sorry, I...
I got a headache from all the yelling.
Well, that's no fun.
No.
Can I still come over?
No, not tonight. It's too late now.
Did I fuck up? I should have called, right?
No, I got your text. You're safe.
It's just, honestly, I have to get up really early tomorrow.
All right. I don't want to fuck up with you, you know.
Well, that's entirely up to you.
I know.
Good night.
Sleep tight.
