We're not brothers. 15 00:01:46,377 --> 00:01:50,046 So either the DNA test is wrong or you're wrong, Ms. Raymond. 16 00:01:51,173 --> 00:01:55,011 - So which one is it? - Neither. 17 00:01:58,598 --> 00:02:00,892 Do you remember how sick you were as a kid? 18 00:02:00,975 --> 00:02:03,936 Having aplastic anemia isn't something that you forget easily. 19 00:02:05,897 --> 00:02:08,064 The surgery was a bone marrow transplant. 20 00:02:08,148 --> 00:02:10,067 Ma, I know. 21 00:02:10,485 --> 00:02:15,031 Over time, your DNA merges with the donor's, essentially... 22 00:02:16,448 --> 00:02:18,950 creating a new one. 23 00:02:19,035 --> 00:02:20,744 Which is why our DNA didn't match. 24 00:02:22,078 --> 00:02:24,707 So y'all should. So y'all two are the ones that need 25 00:02:24,789 --> 00:02:27,210 to take the DNA test. 26 00:02:27,292 --> 00:02:29,754 If all this is true, why'd you give me up? 27 00:02:29,836 --> 00:02:33,341 There were a lot of reasons. But I swear, I only did 28 00:02:33,423 --> 00:02:37,553 what I thought was best for everyone, including you. 29 00:02:38,303 --> 00:02:41,224 Best for me?

That ain't the truth. 51 00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:55,232 Life is like a tape. You can't fast forward through the hurt. 52 00:04:56,107 --> 00:04:59,235 You have to let the tape play or the bad's gonna keep on repeating. 53 00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:06,243 Well, thank you for the advice but I'm fine.

Not at all. Sure, everybody been hitting me up 251 00:17:56,596 --> 00:17:59,431 about it, but I thought you'd be happy for me. It's good press, right? 252 00:17:59,766 --> 00:18:03,269 Wrong. Bringston doesn't need any more press right now, son. 253 00:18:03,687 --> 00:18:07,398 Wasn't the HBCU Baseball highlights about media attention? 254 00:18:08,190 --> 00:18:09,775 Coach, this is a good look for me. 255 00:18:09,859 --> 00:18:12,487 Look, everything isn't about you, JR. All right, if they're putting 256 00:18:12,571 --> 00:18:15,322 a focus on you, it'll come at the cost of someone else. 257 00:18:15,407 --> 00:18:18,243 Now, the homecoming game against Hawk is the end-all be-all for us. 258 00:18:18,326 --> 00:18:20,786 And if we don't focus on that, we're finished. 259 00:18:20,871 --> 00:18:23,622 Now, do you wanna be the reason that Bringston Baseball doesn't make it 260 00:18:23,707 --> 00:18:24,957 to the spring? 261 00:18:25,375 --> 00:18:27,878 I need you focused on the team! 262 00:18:27,961 --> 00:18:30,464 You understand me?

Right. Well, she's all over these minutes. 269 00:18:54,653 --> 00:18:57,531 Why is that strange? She's a board member. 270 00:18:57,616 --> 00:19:00,035 A new intern board member. She didn't even take a second 271 00:19:00,117 --> 00:19:02,037 to get the lay of the land. 272 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,539 She jumped in day one pushing to increase funding in the engineering 273 00:19:05,623 --> 00:19:07,042 and liberal arts departments. 274 00:19:07,666 --> 00:19:09,251 And they seem to be listening to her. 275 00:19:10,002 --> 00:19:12,297 Wait, if Bringston is having financial problems, 276 00:19:12,379 --> 00:19:14,465 why are they giving any extra money to any programs? 277 00:19:15,174 --> 00:19:17,427 I don't know. But I'm starting to think my financial story 278 00:19:17,511 --> 00:19:20,679 and whatever Veronica is doing at Bringston are one and the same. 279 00:19:21,222 --> 00:19:23,767 You have any sources close to her? 280 00:19:23,849 --> 00:19:26,143 One.
