Mike, sometimes you got to show
350
00:14:10,101 --> 00:14:12,145
these motherfuckers
who's in charge.
351
00:14:12,145 --> 00:14:13,771
I said I'll call you tomorrow.
352
00:14:13,855 --> 00:14:16,107
And don't worry about HBO.
They'll come around.
353
00:14:16,107 --> 00:14:18,776
They always do.
354
00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:23,364

357
00:14:26,117 --> 00:14:27,869
Brother King.
358
00:14:27,869 --> 00:14:32,874
I'm here to respectfully convey
Captain Joe is never terminated.
359
00:14:33,833 --> 00:14:36,669
If anyone is to be terminated,
360
00:14:36,753 --> 00:14:38,254
it will be you.
361
00:14:38,254 --> 00:14:41,007
MIKE: Yeah, Don didn't fuck
with Captain Joe after that.
362
00:14:41,007 --> 00:14:42,842

363
00:14:44,969 --> 00:14:46,763
MIKE: These guys
were bad motherfuckers,
364
00:14:46,763 --> 00:14:50,016
but they also had some really
interesting stuff to say.
365

00:14:52,769 --> 00:14:54,854
It's chicken.
It's not pork.
367
00:15:01,069 --> 00:15:03,154
I should probably jog more.
368
00:15:03,154 --> 00:15:06,449
There's no boxing in here--
Indiana prison rules.
369
00:15:08,201 --> 00:15:10,036
That's all external.
370
00:15:12,705 --> 00:15:16,876
How exactly do you intend
to address your flabby spirit?
371
00:15:19,420 --> 00:15:21,798
You got
less than a year in here,
372
00:15:21,798 --> 00:15:24,133
if you manage
to stay out of trouble.
373

But the true freedom...
375
00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:31,808
the true freedom...
376
00:15:31,808 --> 00:15:35,269
comes from elevating
above base pursuits.
377
00:15:38,272 --> 00:15:40,066
Are you ready to do that?
378
00:15:41,234 --> 00:15:43,236
MIKE: The fucking guy
knew his shit.
379
00:15:43,236 --> 00:15:45,238
I got to say, I liked him.
380
00:15:45,238 --> 00:15:48,574
Nobody had talked to me
like that since Cus.
381
00:15:48,658 --> 00:15:52,245
I started getting in shape
spiritually, then physically.
382
00:15:52,245 --> 00:15:54,414
You know, Don only cared
about the second part.
383
00:15:54,414 --> 00:15:56,416
-(audience murmuring)
- I had maybe six months left,
384
00:15:56,416 --> 00:15:59,127
and he was hyping the world
for my triumphant return.
385
00:15:59,127 --> 00:16:00,837
Every million dollars
added to my purse
386
00:16:00,837 --> 00:16:03,131
was another million pounds
of pressure,
387
00:16:03,131 --> 00:16:06,134
scaring me shitless about
whether I could still bring it,
388
00:16:06,134 --> 00:16:07,760
for all of you--
389
00:16:07,844 --> 00:16:10,346
I mean, if you even
still wanted to see me.
390
00:16:10,430 --> 00:16:12,432
Ah, man,
I was freaking the fuck out.
391
00:16:12,432 --> 00:16:14,892
So I asked for help.
392
00:16:18,104 --> 00:16:21,774
Dr. Angelou, I didn't--
I didn't think you'd show.
393
00:16:21,858 --> 00:16:23,401
You asked.
394
00:16:23,401 --> 00:16:27,238
And if I'm being honest...
395
00:16:27,238 --> 00:16:31,033
I'm not exactly sure
what I can say to you.
396
00:16:31,117 --> 00:16:34,287
But if a word from me can help,
397
00:16:34,287 --> 00:16:38,124
then certainly
I can find that word.
398
00:16:38,124 --> 00:16:41,669
Still? Even with all
they're saying about me?
399
00:16:41,753 --> 00:16:45,256
I approach people
as they are now,
400
00:16:45,256 --> 00:16:49,135
without judgment
for what they have been,
401
00:16:49,135 --> 00:16:51,888
even Mike Tyson.
402
00:16:51,888 --> 00:16:56,059
That we all have
the possibility of becoming.
403
00:16:56,059 --> 00:16:57,560
MIKE: "You may write me

(chuckles) I love when someone
quotes me to me.
408
00:17:08,029 --> 00:17:11,949
I wish I was as knowledgeable
about prizefighting.
409
00:17:12,033 --> 00:17:14,160
MIKE: Well, the thing is,
I've been really trying.
410
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,998
Been training again
and, even better, reading.
411
00:17:19,082 --> 00:17:21,834

412
00:17:21,918 --> 00:17:24,921
For you or for them?
413
00:17:27,382 --> 00:17:32,929
Where does that leave you when
you're not their champ anymore?
414
00:17:40,061 --> 00:17:41,604
GUARD:
No touching.
415
00:17:42,897 --> 00:17:45,858

417
00:17:50,488 --> 00:17:52,949
Would you be so kind
418
00:17:52,949 --> 00:17:55,410

419
00:17:55,410 --> 00:17:59,956
