"Shit." "Mommy." "Mommy, can we play croquet today?" "Where's Daddy?" "He's running." "From what?" "Shh." "Oh." "Oh." "Eat." "Oh, shit." "All right." " How was your run?" " Good." "It was good." " Eat your breakfast." " I don't like it." "You do too." "Stop coloring." "I'm impressed you're keeping it up." " What brand is this?" " They're the same." " Daddy, look, it's your team." " Hmm?" "Oh." "Hey." "That's my team." "That's great, honey." "Are they winning?" "Yeah." "That's more like it." "Oh, oh." "Shit!" "Aw." "Hey, hey." "Sweetheart, do not use words like that." "That's a bad word." "Okay?" "Okay." "Yes, that is a bad word." "Yes, it is." "What?" "Don't look at me." "Mm-hm." "Okay." "Goodbye, sweetie." "Goodbye, jellybean." "Oh..." "Bye, Daddy." "Hey." " You okay?" " Yeah, I'm good." "Why?" "Just checking." " Okay." "Bye, guys." " Bye." "Can I have more juice?" "Mike!" "Did you call Fenn about the tree?" "No." "I will today." "Please do." "I don't want it coming down on the house." "Yeah, you're right." "I will." "Love you." " I love you too, sweetie." "Bye." " Bye." "Shit." "Vig?" "I'm down here." "What's up, Vig?" "Donna's out sick." "I can't find anything without her." "This sucks." "Who was that guy?" "Oh." "That sucks more." "That's the plumber." "I called him to look at this piece-of-crap boiler." "Why?" "Because it clanks and it's driving me crazy." "You don't hear this?" "I hear it." "I just figured that it's old, so..." "He said we have to replace it because it's gonna blow." "What?" "We just had it fixed like three months ago." "He said that job was crap." "That guy did crap work." "Can you believe that?" "That little scumbag." "Heh." "Unbelievable." "Um..." " How much to fix it?" "Did he say?" " Ah, 6 grand." " Holy shit!" " That's right." " Holy shit!" " Tell me about it." "And I gotta tell you, I'm not doing great." "My bus ness is off, and my stepson wants to get the Lasik." " Really?" "Isn't he kind of young for that?" " You know, I really don't care." "If he wants to get Lasik and it makes him happy, then he can have it." "Okay, so, uh... ..what you want to do here?" "Okay." "I was thinking... ..let's just leave it for now." "We just... ..put plastic on the files." "What you thinking?" "That sounds great." "That's good." "For now." "Yeah, fine." "Let's get out of here before th s thing blows." "I'll get some plastic before practice." "Hey." " Good morning, Shelly." "How you doing?" " A little hungover." "My boyfriend's a moron." "I'm sorry to hear that." " How'd the team do last night?" " We lost." " Bummer." " Mm-hm." "Your noon canceled, so you just have the 10:30 and the 3:00." "Anything else?" "The toilet's not flushing again." "Should I call someone this time?" "No, I'll take a look at it." "Who have I got at 10:30?" "Frank." "You think your son stole it?" "Yeah, I know he did." "Mm-hm." "Why would he steal your cat?" "He's jealous of her." "Very jealous." "Wow." "I can see why." "It's a nice-looking cat." "Oh, yeah." "What's Vig doing with that plastic?" "Who knows?" "Leo, remember you got lost and the police had to help you a few times." "That's why we got Jolie to help you." "Right?" "So, what do we do now?" "If that judge deems you incapacitated, you'll need a guardian." " If we can't find your daughter" " She can't even find herself." "Okay." "If we can't find her, then the state will become your guardian." "What state?" "Uh..." "You know, the state... of New Jersey." "That's crazy." "I don't need New Jersey's help." "I got Jolie." "And there's nothing going on between us, so you know." "Okay." "I'm sure that there's not." "Uh..." "Let's first try to find your daughter, and then we'll go from there, okay?" "Am I still hungover or is that noise getting louder?" "You're probably still hungover, Shelly." "We got copies of Leo's financial statements." "The guy's loaded." "Leo?" "Yeah." "Any luck finding his daughter?" "No, that lady is gone." "I have tried everything." "Crap." "Let me see his file again." "Can't the state just leave him in his home?" "That's what he wants." "Yeah, they could." "But they won't." "It's too much work." "They'll move him into Oak Knoll." "Pass me a brochure." "But he's got Jolie." "She can handle it." "No, she can't." "The guardian has to make all the decisions." "It's the difference between a babysitter and a parent." "Well, that's a bummer." "I wish I could do it." "I could use the extra 1.500 a month." "Fifteen hundred dollars?" "Is that the commiss on?" "It's in the file." "I told you, he's loaded." "Mike Flaherty's office." "Move!" "Move!" "Stay right on him." "Don't cross your feet!" "Stay on him!" "Keep your chest right down on him!" "# Runaway." "When I say" "***" "Come on, let's go!" "Move, don't cross your feet!" "Hey, hey, hey." "Whose headgear is this?" "Whose headgear?" "Stemler, wake up!" " How's the team doing?" " Not good." "What the he happened, man?" "We used to be good." "Not anymore." "Shit." "Could we stop for a second?" "Yeah." "Holy shit." "That sucked." "You're running good. buddy." "You're kicking my ass." "I'm trying to get out here a bit more often, you know?" "You gotta be kidding me." "What?" "Lori." "Texting me at 7 in the morning... ..asking if I want an antique sewing table we bought together." " Do you?" " No!" "I want my fucking house back!" "Is she still with that guy?" "What, my contractor?" " Guy I hired?" " Yeah." "Scumbag's probably walking around my house wearing his tool belt." "Ha, ha." "Take a picture." "For chrissake." "Come on, take it." "Come on, it's cold!" " Don't send it." " Too late." "I hate her." "Maybe you shou d move back to the city." "Get a new job." "Shake things up a little bit." "Finley called." "He's starting a fund in May." "I'll wait for that." "That guy is starting another fund already?" "Wow." "The guy's an animal." "He prints money." "Heh, heh." "Come on." "Let's finish strong, all right?" "Hold up!" "What?" "What's wrong?" "Just hold up." "Hold up." "You okay?" "I can't breathe." "You're breathing funny." "Mike." "Holy shit." "Mike, you okay?" "I'm gonna call somebody." "Don't ca, don't call." "I'm fine." "Shit." "Fuck." "Shit." "Okay, Mike..." "Hey, hey." "Is it your heart?" "Buddy, are you having a heart attack?" "No, I'm not having a heart attack." "I just can't breathe." "Okay." "You could be having a heart attack." "Let's lay down." "It's wet." "I don't wanna lay down." "You're dying." "Lay down." "Come on." "Do me a favor and squeeze my hand." "Squeeze my hand." " Why?" " Just squeeze it." " Are you cold?" " Yeah, I'm lying on the ground." "Okay." "All right." "I'm gonna blanket you." "I'm gonna warm you up." "I'm gonna warm you up." "It's okay." "Shh." "Shh." "Are you all right?" "Sorry!" "How long has that been happening?" "Couple of months." "Doctor says it's stress." "He prescribe anything for you?" "Yeah, jogging." "What do you think I'm doing out here?" "That scared the shit out of me." "What are you stressed about?" "I don't know." "Just work, money, everything." " Is t that bad?" " Yeah, it is." "It is." "I don't know if I can keep my practice going." " Really?" "Holy shit, Mike." " Yeah." "I've tried everything." "I have no idea what to do, Terry." " You told Jackie?" " No." "Not yet." "I don't want to freak her out." "Good call." "A right." "We just have to come up with a new strategy, rght?" "What else can you do for money?" "What am I gonna do, bartend?" "I'm a lawyer, Terry." "I practice the law." "I know." "I'm not some fricking scumbag." "I help out old people for chrissake." "No offense, but your pal Finley, all he gives a crap about is making money." "Yeah, but that's why he makes it." "No shit, Terry." "Thanks for the update." "I'm just wrapping up." "Sharon called." "She wants" "Jack, I gotta take this other call." "Okay?" "Mm-hm." "All right." "Bye." "All right." "Bye." " Hey, Tom." " Hey, Mike." " How are you?" " Good, good, thanks." "Thanks for getting back to me." "How you doing?" " I'm good." "I'm very good." " Ha, ha." "Good, good." " So, what's up?" " Um..." "Listen." "I was just following up to see if you had any overflow." "It's been a slow month on this end." "Yeah, look, I gotta be honest." "It's been a slow month on this end too." " We really don't have overflow at this point." " Sorry about that." "Right." "Yeah, okay." "I wish I could help." "No, I got it." "It's been slow here too." "I appreciate that." "Yeah." "Okay, good." "If you need to reach out..." "Stop." "Hold on." "Leo." "Hold on a sec, Leo." "Go back through." "Somebody stop that gentleman, please." "Any word from his daughter?" "No, Your Honor." "We have the two certified letters returned unclaimed." "There is no phone number for her." "We can't find her." "She is the only living family, correct?" "Correct, but Mr. Poplar has not seen her for over 20 years." " Who?" " Your daughter." "Oh." "She's late." "Probably shopping for some crap or something." "Okay." "Thank you, Mr. Flaherty." "Okay, as Mr. Poplar has been deemed incapacitated by this court... ..I'm appointing the Office of Public Guardian to serve as guardian... ..for his person and property." "Do you have the order for me to sign?" " Yes, I sure do, Your Honor." " Then please approach." "Your Honor, if it pleases the court..." "Yes, Mr. Flaherty?" "What is it?" "I would be willing to serve as Mr. Poplar's guardian." " Really?" " Yes." "You've known him how long?" "Two weeks?" "More like five." "Really?" "And you want to be his guardian now?" " May I approach, Your Honor?" " Counsel, approach." "What's going on, Mike?" "Judge, I feel I would be a better candidate than the state in th s particular case." " Really?" " Yes." "Stop saying, "Really." It's annoying." "I live in the same town as Mr. Poplar." "Proximity hardly qualifies him as a guardian." "And as his lawyer... ..I am in a better position to execute exactly what my client wants." "Mr. Flaherty is Mr. Poplar's court-appointed attorney." "I know, Stu." "I appointed him." "Well, that hardly qualifies him as a guardian." "I mean, why should we go along with this?" "Mike?" "Judge, Leo has told me that he wants to live at home." "He has the money to do that." "I wanna make sure that happens." "If the state can do that" "Counsel knows we can't do that." "We're spread too thin to give that kind of individual attention." "But there is an excellent elder-care facility in Mr. Poplar's town." "We'll put him there." "Mr. Poplar wants to live at home." "You can do that, Mike?" "Yes, I can." "Really." "Did we win?" "Uh..." "Yeah, I think we did." "Good." "Are we going to the park?" "No." "I'm gonna help you settle into a new place so you can live right here in town." "I don't need a new place." "I have a house." " I don't need that fancy stuff." " I know." "I just need you to live in this place for a little while." "It's very nice." "You'll like it." "Did the judge say that?" "Yes, the judge said so." "Shit." "Okay?" "# Still all my song shall be" "# Nearer, my God, to thee" "Have a great day, gentlemen." "Okay?" "All rght." "Come on, crazy-legs." "Let's go, Mr. Mayor." "It's cold." "We have to get bagels for your mom." "Okay." " I have to make one stop first." " Where?" "I gotta shut the water off at a client's house." "Why?" "It's freezing out." "I don't want his pipes to burst." "No, I mean why are you doing it?" "Uh..." "Oh." "Because I'm his guardian." " What?" "Since when?" " Since last week." "That's a big deal." "Were you even gonna tell me?" "It's not a b g deal." "I was gonna tell you." "You don't have time to take care of an old man." "He's at Oak Knoll." "They take care of everything." "I just have to check in on him from time to time." "Well, who pays for that?" "He does." "Come on, kiddo." "It comes out of his estate." "And he can afford it, trust me." "I don't get it." "You've never done it before." " No, I haven't." " So why are you doing it now?" "Because it's the rght thing to do, all right?" "We couldn't find his daughter... ..and I just wanna help the guy out." "It's not a big deal." "It sounds ike a big deal." "You should have told me." "What's a big deal?" "Is this gonna take long?" "Nope." "It' be two minutes." "Who's that?" "No idea." " Who is that, Mommy?" " I don't know, honey." "Daddy's gonna find out." " How you doing?" "Can I help you?" " No." "You looking for Mr. Poplar?" "Yeah." " He doesn't live here anymore." " Where does he live?" "Mind telling me why you're looking for him first?" "He's my grandfather." "I came to live with him." "Ah." "You live around here, Kyle?" "No." "Ohio." "Ohio?" "Where are your parents?" "It's just me and my mom." "She's back in Columbus." "She couldn't come." " How did you get here?" " Bus." " Really?" "All by yourself?" " Yeah." "That sounds like a big deal." "Leo, how you doing?" "You have a visitor." " Who?" "Him?" " Yeah." "Hey." "Come on in." "I'll turn off the TV." "Let's just kick it around, as they say, man to man." "This is Kyle Timmons, Leo." "He's your grandson." "Came from Ohio to see you." "I don't have a grandson." "Yeah, you do." "We just never met." "You gonna bring me home?" "No, he's just here for a visit." "Oh." "Okay." "You want to watch a little TV?" "Yeah." "Sure." "Well, I'm very good at keeping secrets." "There's some things I won't even tell myself." "What is it, son?" "You're looking at it." "So I'll pick you up in about an hour." "Okay." "like everybody does, Father, only you're too polite to say anything." " So you called his mother?" " No, not yet." "Oh." "He was smoking too." "He's 16." "Well, he's probably on drugs." "What are you gonna do with him?" "We're gonna send him back, is what we'll do." "I certainly hope so." "You got your hands full over there." "Now tak ng care of that old man too?" "Sounds like too much, Mike." "It is too much." "And somehow he forgot to tell me al about it." " I told you." " No, not until I asked." "His daughter should be tak ng care of him, not you." "You got me to worry about." "I don't have to worry about him." "He's at Oak Knoll." "Can we play croquet today?" "The whole thing sounds crazy." "It s crazy." "It's crazy." "Who's crazy?" "Me." " So he lives here now?" " Uh-huh." "Your grandfather's in the early stages of dementia, Kyle, so he needs a little help." "Are you a friend of his or something?" "Uh, I'm his guardian." "What does that mean?" "I make sure that he's well taken care of." "That's cool." "# Meow, meow." "# Meow, meow, meow, meow." "Oh, hey." " Everything all right?" " Yeah." " Did you reach your mom?" " Yeah." "I told her I was coming home." "Did she wanna talk to me or anything?" "No." "Okay." "Well, I'm sorry you can't stay longer." "But maybe you can come back again and visit with your mom." "Yeah, maybe." "If I wanna smoke, should I go outside?" "You shouldn't be smoking." "I know." "But if I do." "Then you shou d go outside." "All right." "Good night, Jackie." "Good night, Kyle." "What are you doing?" "We have kids, Mike." "I'm not taking any chances with Eminem down there." "There's not even a bathroom down there." "Can you get these people to get me some Cocoa Puffs?" "I really like them." "You got it." "That Mike is a standup guy." "You need cereal, go see him." "Okay." "We should go, Kyle." "Okay." "Bye, Leo." " You going to work?" " No, I'm going home." "Don't take any shit from any of those guys." "I won't." "Here's 50 bucks, in case you need it." "I have money." "Actually, it's on y 43, but take it." "You never know." "I have enough money, but thanks." "Okay." "Well, good luck, Kyle." "You too, Mike." "Hello." "Yes, it is." "Who is it?" "What?" " Take care, fellas." " Yeah, all right, Mike." " So, what happened?" " I decided not to go home." "Then you decided you'd break into your grandfather's house?" " You mind if I have a quick smoke?" " Yes, I do." "Get in the car." "You wanna talk about it?" "Not really." "Well, good luck with that, pal." "Oh, you'll see." "Kyle, we can't help you unless you tell us what's going on." "Is there a reason you don't wanna go home?" "What happened to your eye?" "Kyle, you can trust us." "Really." "I can't live there anymore." "With your mom?" "Did she do that to your eye?" "No." "She's not even there." "She's at a clinic or hospital or something." " I'm living with Craig." " Who's Craig?" "Her boyfriend, I guess." "But he's an asshole." "Does she even know you're here?" "My mom?" "She doesn't care about me." "How do you know?" "She's probably worried sick and doesn't know how to reach you." "She could've called, right?" " We don't have a choice." " Ah." "What are we gonna do, adopt him?" "No." "But I'm not sending him back there until I talk to his mom." "She better call me back." "Honey..." "Honey, I know that this is tough... ..but we're not in a position to take care of another kid right now." "I don't care." "I'm not sending him back there." "I can't." "For the record, I'm not happy about it." "Fine." "Then we don't have to do this." "Yes, we do, Mike." "We do." "It makes me so angry and so damn sad to see him in this situation." "He's just a kid." "Yeah, I know. know." "I wanna go to Ohio and beat the crap out of his mom." " Okay, come on." " No, I do." "I wanna beat the crap out of her..." " ..and her stupid boyfriend." " Okay." " I'm serious." " I know you are." "I just don't think that beating the crap out of everybody is the best solution." "That's all." "It feels like it." "It's just one thing after another." "So get rid of him again." "I can't." "We gotta figure out what's going on back there." "You talked to his mother?" "Not yet." "Jackie's left her like 30 messages." "She's driving me crazy." "Motherfucker." "He is wearing his tool belt." "What?" "Who?" "No, noth ing, dude." "Sorry." "I'm distracted." "Where are you?" "Are you watching Lori's house again?" "It's my fucking house." "And, no." "I'm drving." "Where's the kid now?" "In my waiting room." "Jackie made me take him with me." " Listen to me, Mike." "You listening?" " Mm-hm." "This isn't the time to long that stock." "Know what I mean?" "No." "What does that mean?" "You need to do what's best for you now." "That's not taking care of another kid, especially a convict." "Yeah." "We, tell that to my wife, okay?" "I found her." "Let me call you back." "Get rid of the convict, Mike." "She's in a drug treatment program in Columbus." "Got five weeks to go." "Jesus Christ." "Can I talk to her?" "No, they said she would call you." "Kind of a sweet kid, but what's up with the hair?" "Who the hell knows?" "Yeah?" "I." " Hey, Mike." "Hey, Shelly." " Hi." "You think I can go see Leo?" " Um, yeah, sure." "Okay." " You know where it is?" " Yeah." "Down the street, right?" " Uh-huh." "Okay." "But just stay there." "I will come get you about 3." "Yeah." "Later." "Later." "# Kill me" "# Just kill me" "# Just kill, kill" "# Kill me now, kill me, kill me" "Oh, for crying out loud." "Rew, what the he are you doing?" "Get down there." "Coach!" "Phil, shut that off." "Watch it, guys." "Everybody, watch this." "Everybody, watch, because none of you are doing it right." "Get your chest on him." "That's a little too much." "A litt e further back, coach." " Like this?" " Uh..." "Good, right there." "Get your full weight up on your toes." "Put your full weight on him." "Like that." "Cross-face, grab the ankle, and drive right through." "Good."

"And you are all screwing around." "Shut up!" "Quiet!" "The last time that I checked, we haven't won a single match." "Right, coach?" " It's embarrassing." " It's embarrassing!" "I'm not getting paid enough to sit here and jerk around." "I don't know about you." "I'm not getting enough." "I care about what I do!" "So does Coach Vig!" "And so should you!" "Run them, coach." "Run them." "I can't stand ooking at these punks anymore." "Let's go, ladies!" "Here." "Have some more corn." " Thank you." " I' get you some more milk too." "Thanks." "Mike, did you call Fenn about the tree?" "Uh..." "Ahem." "Yeah." "But I talked to Terry, and I think the two of us can do this" "Oh, no, no, don't start." "You two are not cutting down that tree." "Just call Fenn." "I'm gonna get her some Tylenol." "Do you wanna play croquet?" " When?" " When it's warm out." " Yeah." "Maybe." " Cool." "Daddy, can I watch TV?" "Yes, you can." "But just a half an hour, all right?" " Hey, Mike." " Mm-hm." "You think I could practice with you guys tomorrow?" "Yeah, if you want." "Sure." "All right, thanks." "By the way, what I did in there today, yelling like that, I don't usually do that." "That's okay." "They deserved it." "I don't have wrestling shoes." " Don't worry about it." "You wrestle before?" " Yeah." " Take it easy, all right?" " All rght." "Come on, get an ankle!" "Get an ankle." "Vig, can I have a second here?" "Thanks." "Okay, guys... ..listen up." "Kyle here's gonna be working out with us for a little while." "Okay?" " What up, Kyle?" " Carlos, you and Jimmy rotate him in." "You got 10 seconds to get an ankle, then we switch it up." "He'll try to take you down first, then switch." "Take it easy." "Okay, here we go." "# Fahrenhelt 101" "# She got the long legs to prove it" "Switch it up." "Here we go." "# She's a triple-X movie just walking by" "# Lip gloss, high heels, I'm losing my mind" "# She's coming at me like a wrecking ball" "Man, it's cold." " You have fun?" " Yeah." " When's the ast time you wrestled?" " Couple years ago." " Why'd you stop?" " Just felt like it." "Oh." "Hey, let me ask you something, Kyle." "How good are you?" "I'm pretty good." "Holy shit." "Holy shit." "Did you see it?" " This is the kid?" "Kyle Timmons?" " That's the kid." " Wow." " Yeah, right?" " He finished second at the states in Ohio." " Ohio's tough, dude." "Says he had 17 pins his freshman year." " What is that?" " I'm playing Wii Golf." " Oh." "That's cool." " Yeah, I'm awesome." "What'd he do his sophomore year?" "I don't know." "I couldn't find anything." "I don't think he wrestled." " Why?" " I don't know." "He doesn't talk much." "He's kind of a weird kid." " Want another beer?" " Yeah." "Why can't I have one kid on my team like that, you know?" "Just one." "Well, you do." "Right there." "Take that kid to states." "He's not on the team." "He's not even a student." "Been here for three days." "So what?" "Enroll him." "I can't enroll him." "He's just here until we reach his mother and we figure this out." "All right." "So he's gotta do something." "Let him wrestle." "That's a nice bow, man." " Yeah." "Wedding gift." "Yeah." " Oh." "Dude, look at it this way." "You're he ping the old man out, and this kid is like a bonus for doing the right thing." "Yeah, I'm not just he ping the old man out." "It's not like it's charity work, you know?" "I'm getting paid for it." "Yeah, no shit, Mike." "Everybody gets paid." "But, dude, think about it, all right?" "What are the odds of this kid ending up on your doorstep and wrestling like that?" "That's a sign." "Check it out." "One of his matches." "He's setting him up." "See?" "He's setting him up." "He's gonna throw him." "There he goes." "Oh, my God!" "High five!" "Yes!" "Whoo!" "Okay." "Here's $5 for lunch." "I don't know what it costs." "But let me know when you find out." "I have money, but thanks." "Good for you." "Save it." "Come on, take it." "It's too early to argue." " Okay." "I'm ready." "Let's go, pal." " All right." "See you tonight." " Bye, Jackie." " Bye." " Hey." " Yeah." "Hold on." "You sure we should do this?" "Why not?" "I mean, if he's here two more days or two weeks, it gives him something to do." "Unless you want him hanging out here." "No, you're right." "We should do it." " Hey, Mike." " Uh-huh?" "We got a check from Leo Poplar's trust for 1.500, but it's made out to you, not the firm." "Uh-huh." "Yeah, right." "I'll take that." "Shouldn't I deposit it in the business account?" "Um..." " No, it's not a egal fee, it's a personal fee." " For what?" " I ended up taking on Leo's guardianship." " Really?" "Yeah." "Didn't I ment on that to you?" "You definitely didn't mention that." "Yeah." "It ended up playing out that way." "I gotta get going, okay?" "Can we put some of that in the business account so they don't take our copier back?" "No, not this time." "Next month, I promise." "Bye, Shelly." " We need our copier, Mike." " I know." "That noise is getting louder." "I'm not hungover today." " That's good." " That's good?" "Hey, honey." " No, I'm good." " Yeah, listen, can you do me a favor?" "Mail the health insurance check." "I forgot to mail it." "I think it's on the desk." "Hey." "What up, fellas?" "Hitting the showers, huh?" "That sounded weird." "The guy's unbelievable." "You want me to talk to Reed?" "No, let me check with Kyle first." " Oh, yeah, coaches' office." "Hey, Vig." " Hey, Terry." "What are you doing here?" "What am I doing here?" "What do you think?" "I gotta see this kid." "He's incredible." "He's good to wrestle." "Mike cleared him." "Really?" " Yeah." " All right." "So where we at?" "Uh, we're trying to figure out where he fits in." " Heh." "Wherever the hell he wants, right?" " Uh, no, not right." "Unfortunately, we have a system here." "Excuse me, Vig." "Hey, Kyle." "Come on in." "How's school?" " It's okay." " Good." "This is my friend Terry." " Hey, man." "Good to meet you." " Great to meet you." "We come." " Thanks." " Terry." "Terry." " How are the shoes?" " They're good." " Good." " Here you go." "I wanted to ask you something, Kyle." "Think you might wanna wrestle in a match?" "Okay." "Good." "We got one on Saturday." "What do you wrestle?" "I used to wrestle 103, but that's not gonna happen." "I could make 119 by Saturday." " Excellent." "Done." " Ter." "Sorry." " Is there anyone there now?" " Jimmy Reed, but he's not very good." "Yeah, but he might actually be better off at 125, Vig." " Don't you think we should wrestle off?" " Yeah." "# There's no place I'd rather be Than anywhere else but here" "# Can't you see that I'm sick and tired of all the bullshit" "Good luck, man." "Thanks." " Okay, let's get them started." " Okay." "Wrestle off!" "All right, let's go." "Come on, come on, come on." " Keep time." "Vig." " I'll do it." "You don't mind, do you?" "No, go ahead." " Nice." " What?" "Let's go, guys." "Shake hands." " Wow." "That is really fast." "That's really fast." " Shh, shh." "Yes!" " Good match." " Didn't feel good." "I don't think we can teach him anything." "Just being in that place brought back all the memories, I gotta say." "The smell." "It's like a form of self-abuse." "Were you guys really that bad?" " Mike was average." " Yeah." "Right?" "I sucked." "Sorry, Abby." "That's okay." "You were really better than Terry?" "Yeah." "Mike was scrappy." "Abby, your dad was like an angry little ferret when he wrestled." "We should have joined the ski club." "We could have gotten busy with Alison Shepherd on overnights." " Terry." " Who was busy?" "Your Uncle Terry's just being silly." " Sorry, Abby." "Getting busy is bad." " Ha, ha." " So is getting married." " For crying out loud." "Getting married is bad?" " Different viewpoints are important." "Right?" " No, not right, Terry." "You really need to get back up on the horse." " Okay, Mom." " We should go." "I have to stop by the off ce." "How do you think we'd do against Kyle, like, now?" "Are you kidding me?" "He'd kill us." "Both of us, together." "Yeah." "Yeah, you're probably right." "Kid's got man strength, dude." " Man strength?" " Mm." "Like, not kid strength, man strength." "I wouldn't say that around the locker room, Terry." "What are you doing in there?" "Trying to figure out what's wrong with my fricking backup system." "Just call your IT guy." " I don't have an IT guy." "IT guys cost money." " Right." "You know what?" "I'm just gonna say what's on my mind here." "I wanna be an assistant coach too." " Seriously?" " Yeah." "Why not?" "Dude, I'm value added, especially compared to Vig." "How are you value added?" " Well, first of all, I'm fun." " There's no denying that." "Secondly, unlike Vig, I actualy used to wrestle." "Yeah, but, Ter, you sucked." "Mike, come on." "I'm serious here." "I need some distraction in my life rght now." "I'm sitting in that condo... ..just thinking about Lori and that guy... ..having sex in the jacuzzi I paid for." "It's fucking unhealthy." "I'm going kind of crazy right now." "Really." "We start at 3:30 p.m." "Don't be late." " My brother." " Hey, I'm not gonna let you down." " To the team." " All right." " What should I wear to my first practice?" " Just a singlet." " Seriously?" " Yeah, so we can see your man strength." "Incoming call." "Do you copy?" "Incoming call." "Charlie Squadron taking heavy fire." "Requesting air strike" "Hello." "Hello?" "This is Jackie Flaherty." "Kyle's staying with us." "Oh, I am gonna kill that lady." "Hi." "Your phone rang." "Your mom called." "You answered it?" "Yeah." "We've been waiting to hear from her." "What'd she say?" " She didn't say anything." "She hung up." " You talk to her?" "No, but can you please not answer my phone anymore?" "Yeah." "Yeah, you're right." "Sorry." "Oh." "Here." "You shou dn't be smoking, but if you do..." " ..could you put the butts out in here?" " I quit." "Now that I'm wrestling again, I can't smoke." "Pretty cool, right?" "Yeah, it's very cool." " Was that Abby?" " Mm." "If it is, she just ran away." "Hey." "Were you outside?" "Yeah." "I went for a run." "Oh." "It's pretty early." "You do that every morning?" "In season, yeah." "Huh." "Oh, um..." "You think I can use the weights in the closet?" "Absolutely." "Help yourself." " All right." "Thanks." "Mike." " Yeah." "That was Kyle." "He was working out." "Is he gonna do that every morning?" "In season, yeah." "I hate you." "Timmons." "One-nineteen." "Good." "One-nineteen, got it." "Look at those tattoos." "Kid is so fricking cool." "125, Dread low."

" Vig, which one is your kid?" " None of them." "He quit." "Really?" "Your son quit?" " My stepson." " I thought it'd be a nice way to bond... ..but he said it wasn't fierce and quit." "Harsh." "So what are you still doing it for?" "Vig is leading by example." "Winners never quit, right?" "That's right, even if I'm not fierce." "Um, I sit there." "Sorry, I gotta sit next to Mike." "It's good luck." "Says who?" "Guys." "Guys." "I don't think we should fight about our seats in front of the kids." " I'm not really fighting." " Come on." "All rght." "Sit wherever you want." "I feel overdressed." "Let's go." "Don't worry about it." "I always sit there." "Flrst day." "Up!" "There you go!" "Shoot!" "Take him down, Carlos!" "Come on." "There you go." "All right, Carlos."

" What?" "Slap me across the face, like you're trying to wake me up." "Uh-huh." "Okay." "Like that?" "Yeah, but a little harder." "Go ahead, hit him." " Timmons." " Let's go, Kyle!" "Let's go, Kyle." "Take this punk out!" "Oh, Terry, hey, cut the shit, man." "You're a coach." "You're not sitting in the stands." " I get excited." "You know how I get." " I know." "I'm just coaching." "Come on, buddy." "Okay, Kyle." " Let's go." "Kyle!" " Get your head up!" " Focus up." " Go on, Kyle!" "Fresh start." " Get out of that." " Keep the leg back!" "Get out of that." "Get out, Kyle."

" Yeah, I think he did." "Hey, beautiful!" "Here we go!" " Pioneers!" " Nice." " Told you I'm good luck." " Had nothing to do with luck." "Beautiful." "How'd that feel?" "Pretty good?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Okay." " You ready?" " Yeah." "Can you slap me too, coach?" "Uh-huh." "# Well, I said you cannot touch the other gloves..." "I'm off to the market." "Be back in a bit." " Can I go with you?" " Uh, yeah, okay." " All right." " Let me grab my sweatshirt real quick." " Heh." " I wanna go with Kyle." "No, sweetheart, it's almost time for bed." " Please?" " No." "Oh, Cocoa Puffs." "Is that your brand?" "No, they're for Leo." "How nice." "Drop it in." "It's on me." " Go ahead." " Thanks." "How's he doing?" "He's okay." "He can say some pretty funny things, though." " The other day he told me I was fired." " Fired?" "For what?" "I don't know." "He just fired me." "Hmm, I think I have to meet this Leo." "Grab me two spaghettis." "Thanks." " Do you have any homework?" " A little." "I hate homework." "You ever think of going to college?" "Yeah, but just to wrestle." "My old coach thought I could get a scholarship." "Yeah, I heard you were pretty good." "Why'd you quit?" "That's okay." "You don't have to tell me." "Ah." " You like tacos?" " Yeah." "Me too." "I make a mean taco." "Let's go!" "Let's stay focused!" "Focus, guys!" "Good things will come!" "Okay, coach, let's bring them in." "Come on!" "Let's go." "Sit down, everybody!" "Have a seat." "Bring it in." "All right." "I wanna spend this week working on bottom position." " Ha, ha." " Stemler." "Now, did you guys all see what Kyle did the other day?" "He exploded up, right?" "Kyle, show the guys what you did." "It's kind of my own thing." "Well, can you share it with us?" " But it's not even a move or anything." " That's okay." "All right." "Well, I just tell myself that... ..the guy on top s try ng to take my head and shove it underwater and kill me." "And if I don't wanna die on bottom, I have to do whatever the fuck it takes to get out." "Okay." "So the move is, "whatever the fuck it takes." Let's go." "Let's work on it!" " Whatever the fuck it takes!" "Let's go!" "Up!" " Come on, guys." "You think because you pay the bills, you have the right for all the say... ..you don't see to her, you don't care for her..." "Your mother wou dn't come, huh?" " No." " That girl was always a tough kid." "She say bad things about me?" "Yeah, but I never listen to her anyways." "But you should." "That's your mother." "Respect that." "Could you turn that down?" "I hate that judge." "She's the reason I'm here." "But, Leo, this place is pretty nice." "But it's not my house." "I paid for my house." "I own my house!"

" Hey, did you bring the tape?" " Yeah, it's in my bag." " Mike, can I ask you something?" " Mm-hm." "Yeah." "Of course." "What?" "Leo told me that some judge made him move into that place." " He said that, huh?" " Yeah." "Is that true, or is he just making it up?" "Uh..." "No, that's true, pal." " Why?" " Well... ..because they take realy good care of him there, you know?" " But he wants to live at home." " Oh." "I know." "I know." "It's, uh, complicated." "Sorry." "Hello." "Yes, this is him." "Oh, hi." "Yeah, can you hold on just a moment, please?" "Thanks." "Uh, I gotta take this." "I'll be in in a minute, okay?" " All right." " Thanks." "What?" "She doesn't even know us." "I think she heard that I'm a lawyer, and I have a famiy... ..and that was good enough." " For how long?" " Another month." " Until she gets out of rehab." " A month?" " Yes." " Holy crap." "But, you know, she said that this Craig guy took off... ..and she really sounded kind of shaky." "I can't believe this lady." "No, I know." " Where is he, anyway?" " In the basement with Abby." " This s crazy." " Yes, it is." "So, what do we do?" " We let him stay." "I don't know." " Do we even have a choice?" "I guess we don't." "What's up?" " You nervous?" " No." "I am." " You're not wrestling." " Yeah, I know, I'm just nervous a lot." "Ever think about wrestling in a match?" "I'm just waiting for the green light from coach, you know?" "Yeah." "That's cool." "Dude, I'm glad I'm not wrestling today." "These guys are ranked fourth in state." "You're wrestling Kenny Randall." "He's undefeated." "He's tough." "Really tough." "Whole team's tough." "I hate going to this fricking place." "Maybe that's why you're nervous." "Yeah." "Maybe." "All right, cut the chatter!" "Cut the chatter!" "Now, you should all be playing the "What If" game." "What if he shoots a single leg?" "What if he controls my wrist?" "What if we all got pinned like last year?" "Stemler, I swear to God, I'm gonna throw you right off this bus myself." " 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 fucking 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, Sheffield." " 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!" "Be a winner, Kyle!" " Shake hands."

"Holy shit!" "Guys, guys, guys, calm down." "Calm down, calm down, all right?" "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." " Stella, who's that?" " Kyle." "She started doing that at the wrestling match today." " That's cool." " Yeah." "Okay, I gotta ask." "Those tattoos." "They must have hurt, right?" " Not really." " No, come on, don't lie to me." "Look." "I got it on spring break." "Hurt like hell." " What does it say?" " J.B.J." " Jon Bon Jovi?" " I'm a fan." " Really?" " Yes, realy." "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 yourself." " 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."

" If he loses by 15 points it's a technical fall... ..and even though the score is tied, we're gonna lose this match." " Seriously?" " All right, fuck this." "Hey, Stemler." "Stemler!" "Listen 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?" "What ever the fuck it takes." " Whatever the fuck it takes!" "Get up!" " Come on, Stemler!" "Wrestle him!" "Wrestle him!" "Let's go, 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?"

" He's upset." "And I don't blame him." " It's weird she shows up like that." " Yeah." " And of course she's late, the druggie." " Can you stop with the "druggie" thing?" " Please." " What?" "She's a druggie." "I understand that." " You're gonna talk to her, rght?" " Yes, I intend to." "If you don't punch her first." "Okay, uh, that's her." " It's not my fault if I punch her." " You know what?" "It is." "That will be your fault." " Hi." " Hi." "Mike Flaherty." "How are you?" " Come on in, please." " Sorry, but my cab was late, so..." "That's not a problem." "Not a problem." "Come in." "This is my wfe, Jackie." " Hi." "Nice to meet you." " Right." "Uh, can I take your jacket?" " Oh, yeah." "Yes." " Okay." " Thank you." " Ahem." " You have a really nice home." " Thank you." "Uh, do you wanna sit down?" " Thanks." " Please." "So Kyle's downstairs with Abby, our 6-year-old." "Oh, okay." "Uh..." "Can I get you a drink?" "Uh, water or soda?" "Anything?" "Oh." "No, I'm... ..fine." "Okay, uh, I'll go get Kyle." "Yeah." "How's he doing?" "Uh, actually, he's doing very well." "Extremely well." "Yes, he's go ng to the high school here." "And he's wrestling on the team, actually." "Oh." " Yeah, that's great." "Mm." " eah." " He oves wrestling so much." " I know." "Oh, he's a sweet kid." "Our girls love him." "Mm." "That's nice." "I'm sorry." "I don't mean to" "It's just been a really hard time and everything." " And I feel bad that" " Oh." "Come on." "Now, come on." "These things happen." "We loved having him here." "It's okay." "Hey, honey." "Uh..." "This is Abby." "Abby, this is Kyle's mom." " Hey, Abby." " Hi." "Hey, kiddo, you think you could go get Kyle for us?" " He left." " He left?" "What do you mean?" "He left out of the window." " I'm realy sorry about this." " It's okay." "Thanks." "You know, Kyle is doing realy well with the wrestling here, Cindy." "Mm." "He has the regions this weekend, and if he wins there, he goes on to the states." " That's great." " It is, you know." "Could be a really good thing for him." "It might even mean a scholarship." "You know?" "So I was wondering, actually, if you wouldn't mind maybe staying around... ..another couple of weeks?" "I don't think I can afford to stay in the motel for that long." "Uh-huh." "Do you think maybe we could stay in my dad's house?" "Yeah, I think that we could probably make that work." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Then, yeah." " Really?" " Yeah." "That's great." "Great." "Sorry." "Excuse me." "Ahem." " Hey." " Hey." " Yeah, Kyle's over here." " Really?" "Good, we found him." "Yeah, we're playing Wii Golf." "I'm destroying him." "Hey, not for nothing, dude, but this kid really hates his mother." " All rght." "Great, Terry." "Thank you." " No, I'm serious." "More than I hate my ex-wife." "Okay, I got it, Terry." "Great." "Thank you." " Bye." " All right." "He went to my friend's house, we can get him there." "Yeah, you know, I think, um, I probably should just go back to the motel." " It might be too much for him tonight." " You sure?" "Yeah, think it's probably better." "I know how he can be." "It's hard, pal, I know." "But she's staying so you can finish the season, that's pretty nice of her, you know?" "I told her you'd go see her today." " Where?" " Oh, you know, wherever you want." "Uh, you could see her here, we could go see her at Leo's house." "She's moving in this morning." "All right." "I'll go see her at Leo's before practice." "But I wanna go alone." " Hi, Mike." " Hi, Betty." " How's the foot?" " Fine." "Good." "Cindy's here." "Really?" "Did she say why?" "No, but she's here with an attorney." " Hey, Cindy." "How you doing?" " Hi." " Hi." " Hi." "Mike Flaherty." " Eleanor Cohen." " Great to meet you." "So nice to meet you." "Well, I didn't realize Cindy was represented by counsel." "Oh, yeah, she retained me last week to help sort out the situation with her father." " Okay." "Uh, well, come on in." " Well, thank you." "Yeah." "I thought, uh" " I thought you said you just got here two days ago, Cindy." "Uh, Cindy wanted a little time to settle in and spend some time with her father." "Sure, yeah." "Um, so how can I help?" "Cindy's decided to have a more active role in her father's care." "Mm-hm." "Great." "What kind of role is that?" "Um, I want to take care of him." "Really?" " Uh, do you wanna move here?" " No." "Cindy's decided to bring her father back to Columbus." "That's where my support network is now." " Mm-hm." " It's home." "Um..." "My only concern is that that may not be what Leo wants." "Yeah, I already talked to him about it." "He seemed to like the idea." "I understand that, Cindy." "But, uh... ..you know, you haven't seen Leo in a long time... ..and he's battling dementia now." "So it kind of puts me in a tough position here, you know?" "Yeah, I understand." "But seeing that she is the presumed guardian, we hope to avoid a litigation." "So do I. And I know that we can." "Absolutely." "We definitely can." "Um..." "Now, I'm sorry, but I actually have to see another client." "Oh." "But we should set up another time to talk about this, definitely, okay?" "Yes." "Okay." " Is it that bad?" " Yeah, it's that bad." " Take her to court." "You'll kill her." " I can't." "What do you mean?" "She's a mess." "You're a pillar of the community." "I just can't go back in front of Judge Lee." "It'll look very bad." "Trust me." " I can't afford that right now, Terry." " Well, then dump it." "Dump it." "Just give her back Leo." "It sucks, but you got your business to worry about." " Yeah, I do." "Maybe you're right." " Incoming, dude." " Mike." " Hey, pal." " Do you know she wants to take Leo back?" " Yeah, I know." "She just told me today." "You're not gonna let her do that, are you?" "I don't know, Kyle." "It's complicated." "What's complicated?" "She doesn't give a shit about him." "You can't let her do that." "All right." "Why don't you just go get ready for practice, all right?" "I'll deal with it." "Fine." "But I told her I'm staying with you guys until I leave." "Stay focused, Kyle." "Wow." " What's your play?" " Well, I have no fricking idea." "She's looking for a payout, dude." " Just give her an exit." " What does that mean?" "Give her some of Leo's money and send her home." "He's not gonna miss it." " No, I can't do that." " She's not even in his" "That's right, she's not." "And she doesn't know it, and that's my play." "Wait, what's your play?" "Uh..." "Don't worry about it." "Can you get practice started?" " Really?" " Yeah." " Good, go." " Want me to slap you, get you psyched?" " No, I really don't." "I know that we're all concerned with what's best for Leo... ..so'm hoping that we can settle this in an am cable way." " Well, so do we." " Good." "Well, um, to that end, I thought that I would lay all the cards on the table... ..so that maybe you can understand why I'm hesitating in turning Leo over to Cindy." "Okay." "Okay." "Um..." "Cindy, your father disinherited you from his will, completely." "And I'm afraid that that can't change now that he's been declared incapacitated." "What?" "Is that true?" "We'll have to see a copy of the will, Mike." "Certainly." "I brought you a copy." " Thank you." " You bet." "Then who did he leave it to?" "Kyle?" " No." " Then who?" "You?" " No, no." "He actually left it to the municipal parks system." "He wanted the town park dedicated in his name." "Oh, my God." "He is such a scumbag." " Okay." " Oh, my God." "No." "He never cared about a fucking thing except himself and h s goddamn fucking money!" " Cindy." " Oh, my God!" " Don't do this." " Oh, God, can't believe this." " Please." " "Please" what?" ""Pheahse"?" " I need to discuss this with my client." " Understood." "Discuss?" "I'm not taking care of him if I'm not getting anything." " That's it." "No!" " Stop it." " Oh, my God." " Uh, we're finished here, Mike." "Understand completely." "I'm gonna leave that with you." "Thank you." " How did you not know this?" " Look." "Calm down." "What the fuck were you doing?" "Brass balls, buddy." "Brass balls." " Yeah, and she's moved back to the motel." " Good." "Yes, it is." "I think it worked." "It totally worked." "They opened their kimono and you made them eat the trade." " I don't know what you're talking about." " Really?" "No, no, really." "It's time, coach." "Hey, you ready?" "He's ready." "Man..." "This s exciting, huh?" "You think there are scouts here?" "Definitely." "Wait till we get to the states." "Atlantic City?" " Oh." "We're gonna have so much fun." " Fierce." "Good luck, baby." "Lockup." "Okay." "Listen up, all right?" "One more win and we go to the states." "That's all that matters, that's all that counts." "Hey!" "Listen to me." "You stay in this, okay?" "This is your place." "This is your place, you control it." "Remember?" "You control it!" "Now, go get him!" "Finish it!" "At 119, we have Timmons, New Providence... ..and Brown, Saddle Brook." "Ready to go on the whistle, kid." " Here we go." " Okay, we're ready." "Good game, gentlemen." " Stance." " Come on, Kyle, you got this." "Head up!" "Head up!" "Head up!" " Kyle!" " That's a point, right?" " Yo, what do you got?" " Unsportsmanlike conduct." " Kyle!" "Control." "Settle down." " One point, red." " Just settle down, okay?" " Let's go, Chris!" " Sprawl!" " Sprawl, Kyle!" "Sprawl!" "Foot's on the mat." "On the mat." "On the mat." "Settle down." "No, that's it." "Over." "Over." "How you doing?" "I'm sorry." "Hey." "It's all right, man." "It's all right." "I don't wanna go with her, Mike." "I don't." "Okay, pal." "Okay." "Hey, buddy." "Heads up." " Take them to the car, would you?" " I'll be right there." " Why are you here?" " I wanted to see my son wrestle." "Yeah, well, your son had a pretty good chance to do something special in there." "Maybe even change his life." "And that's gone now, so I hope you're happy." " That's not my fault." " It isn't?" "Why do you think he lost his shit in there today?" "Huh?" " What do you want?" " I want my father." "It didn't sound like that the other day." "You have no idea what my father used to be like." "He was different." " He treated me like shit." " So you're gonna return the favor, is that it?" "I want that commission!" " That's mine!" " Is that what this is about?" "Fifteen hundred dollars?" "My God." "Isn't that why you took him?" "Okay." "You know what, I'll tell you what." "You want the commission?" "Fine, I will let you have it." "You don't even have to take Leo." "I will take care of him for free, and I will send you the check." "On one condition." " What's that?" " That you leave Kyle here with us... ..until he finishes high school." "I'm his mother." "He belongs with me." "You sure he feels that way?" "Don't you tell me what my son feels." "He's coming with me, and there isn't anything you can do." "Then you can't have that commission." "Oh, well, we'll see about that!" "Yeah, we will." "I want to see my son!" "Give him a call." "You got his number." "We were right there, Mike." "Right fucking there." "Now we got nothing." "Are you okay?" "No." "Mike." "Your mom's here." "Dinner's almost ready." " You seen Kyle?" " He's not in the basement?" " No." " Oh, for chrissake." " I'll find him." " Thanks, Terry." " What a day, huh?" " Yeah, right." "You okay?" "What are we gonna do?" "There's nothing to do." "I can't stop her." "She's gonna take Leo and Kyle with her." " You don't think you can beat her in court?" " No, I don't." "Nope." "Well, isn't it obvious she just wants him for the money?" "I just can't win this one, Jack." "Trust me." "I do." "Hey, Kyle." "Honey, come in." "I'm so glad you came." "Have a seat, honey." "You want a soda or something?" " What do you want?" " Ahem." "I just wanted to say how sorry I was about the match." "Is that why you called?" "Just to tell me that?" "No." "I also wanted to say that I'll do whatever you think is best for Leo." "I promise." "Then leave him here, where he is." "I have to tell you, I'm not sure that's what Leo wants." "Here." " Just read the parts in yellow." " What is it?" "It's the transcript from when Leo was in court." "My lawyer got it for me." "This isn't real." " The judge told Leo he had to live there." " No." "No, honey." "This is official from the court." "That's what Mike said." "He gets paid for being Leo's guardian, Kyle." "And then he just put him in that place so he wouldn't have to deal with him." "Leo belongs with us." "Why?" "Because we deserve that money, Kyle." "Not some lawyer." "You're a big boy." "You can understand that." "Look, Kyle, honey" "Shut up." "Just shut up." "I don't care about any of this." "Just leave Leo alone!" "Do you hear me?" "Do you?" "Thanks, Karen." "I appreciate it." "Yeah, bye." " Anything?" " No, he's not at Stemler's." " Where could he be?" " I don't know." "Uh, maybe he went for a walk." "We should take a drive." "Your mom can stay with the kids." "Where we gonna go?" "Hold on." "Yes?" "Hello?" " Yeah." "This is him." " Who is it?" "What?" "It has been a very long day." "I need some answers." "Now, if you can't give them to me, get me somebody who can." " Now." " Sir, please stay calm." " We're doing our best." " You've lost my ward." "Calm down." "We'll find him." ""Calm down"?" "We're gonna sue your ass." " I'm sorry." " How could you just let him escape?" "Look, he's definitely not on the premises." "A lot of the time, they just try to go home." "We're about to go there now." "Unbelievable." "Unbelievable." "Hey, folks, keep an eye on each other." "Terry." " The lights are on." " It's gotta be him." " Hey, did you bring the key?" " No, I forgot it." "Shit." " Shh, Terry!" " My bad, my bad, my bad." " Ring the bell." " I just did, sweetheart, okay?" " I think I hear a TV." " Really?" "You're right." "Okay." "Um..." "Hold on, hold on." "Hold on." " Yes, there he is." " What's he doing?" "He's watching TV." "Leo." "Leo." "Leo." "He's not responding." "Hit the bell." " Anything?" " Nothing." " Dude, is he dead?" " I have no fricking idea." " Christ." " Dude, this is kind of spooky." " Should we break in?" " No." "Okay." "I've got a key back at the office." "I'll go get it." " You guys stay here." " Alone?" " Hey." " Hello." " Hi." " Hey." "Come on in." " Super spooky." " You go first." " Oh, for God's sake." " I'll go last." "You okay, Leo?" "How'd you get here, pal?" "Leo, did you walk here?" " I brought him." " Aah!" "Kyle!" " You brought him?" " Yeah." "Are you out of your mind?" "We've been worried sick about him." "About both of you." "You didn't have to worry about us." "Really creepy." "Just saying." "Kyle." " What the hell are you doing?" " Making spaghetti." " Jesus, have you lost your mind?" " No." " You can't just take him out of the home." " This is where he belongs." "No, honey, he needs to be at Oak Knoll." "We talked about this." "Yeah, we did." "I remember." "Listen to this." ""Mr. Flaherty:" "Mr. Poplar wants to live at home." "Judge Lee:" "You can do that, Mike?" "Mr. Flaherty:" "Yes, I can." "Really."" "Wait?" "What is this?" "What?" "It's true, isn't it?" "Mike?" "What is this?" "You're just like her." "Mike." "Kyle." "Kyle!" "Hey, Kyle." "Hey, will you hold on a second?" " Don't touch me!" " Oh!" "Shit." " I'm sorry, come on." " I said, don't touch me!" "Jesus." "Okay." " Let me explain, okay?" " Explain what?" "How you lied to me?" "How you lied to Leo?" " No, that's not how it was, okay?" " Then how was it, Mike?" "Calm down." "All right?" "Come on, man." " Calm down." " Watch the head fake." "I'm not gonna wrestle with you." " Hands up, hands up." " Stop it, okay?" "Don't egg him on." "That's not helping." "It is." "This kid's a good wrestler." "Calm down." " You see, I told you." " Stop it!" " Okay, buddy, get to your base." "Good." " Stop!" " Mike, stop it!" " Okay, buddy." "I'm trying to stop it!" "Sit out, Mike!" " Sit out!" " Would you stop coaching and break it up?" " Ow." "Get the hell off me!" " Break it up!" " Kyle." "Kyle." " Kyle!" "Aah." " Come on, get up." "It's okay." " I" " No, no, no." "I'm just the ref." "I'm just the ref!" "Just the ref!" "Kyle!" " Come on!" " Kyle!" "Kyle!" "Is this true, Mike?" "Did you say this to the judge?" "Yeah, I did." "So then why did you move him if he wanted to stay here?" "Because it would have been too much work to leave him here." "Okay?" "I couldn't handle it." "Then you shouldn't have taken him." "I had to do it, all right?" " Why?" " Because I needed the money." "Okay?" "We need the money." "So you took some old man out of his home to make money off him?" " What, are you out of your freaking mind?" " No." "No!" "I did not th nk that it would get this complicated, okay?" "Really?" "Or you just didn't think you'd get caught?" " Jack, where you going?" " Home!" "Incoming call." "Do you copy?" "Incoming call." "Charlie Squadron taking heavy fire." "Requesting air strike Bravo." "Do you copy?" "Delta Squad, disengage target." "Hello?" "Hello, Mom?" "Hello?" "Did your mom just crank-call you?" "No." "So did you and coach get into a fight because you lost?" "No, we got in a fight because he's an asshole." " Really?" " Yeah, really, Stem." "Well, I'm sure he'll make it up to you, bro." "You're the best wrestler he's ever had." "I mean, he's always been cool to me, and I suck." " Hi, Leo." " Hey." "I fell asleep." "Ahem." "I'm sorry." "Sorry for what?" "Wanna go home, Leo?" "Yes." "I'd like that." "Hi." "Hi." " Where's Kyle?" " He slept at Stemler's." " You?" " Uh, Oak Knoll." "So, what are you gonna do?" "I have to go to court." "No. you can't." "You told the judge you were keeping Leo at home." "I know." "Tell her you changed your mind and he needs to be in a home." "No one could argue with that." "I can't do that." " Why not?" " Because t's not true." "Oh, well, I'm glad you're done lying now." "Just in time to lose your practice." "That's how your family survives." "Did you ever think of that, Mike?" "Yeah, all the time." "Shit." "I'm sorry, Jack." "I really am." "I know." "Hey, pal." "How'd you get down here?" " The window." " You hungry?" "I'm making pancakes." "I'm leaving." "I just came to get my shit." " Right now?" " Yeah." "Hey, Kyle." "Listen, I just wanna say I'm sorry." "I know, Mike, you're sorry." "Everyone's always sorry." "I'm moving Leo back home, Kyle, and I'm gonna fight to make sure that he stays there." "It's too late, you'll lose." "My mother's gonna take him." "Maybe, but I'm still gonna try." "So what?" "You want me to forgive you now, is that it, Mike?" "No, I just want you to give me another chance." "This is bullshit!" " Hey, Kyle, I sten" " I want to be alone." " What?" " I just wanna be down here alone." "Okay." "All right." "Yeah." "Kyle, I just wanna say we love you." " Hey, guys." " Hey." " Hey, Mr. Poplar." " Good to see you." " Jackie." " Hey." " How's it going?" " What are you doing here?" "Dude, I'm your assistant coach." " Just notice who isn't here." " Aha." "Ah." "Hey, Mike?" "Hey, Eleanor." "Can I talk to you?" "Uh, sure." "Hold on, okay?" "You know the transcript alone is enough to hang you." "Yeah, well, we'll see what happens." "Shame on you, counselor." "Is that it?" "No, my client would like to talk to you." "Hi." "Is your deal still available?" "What about Kyle?" "He can stay." "Then, yes, it is." "And you' send me the checks?" "Every month." "You take good care of him?" "We will." "I wanna say goodbye." "Okay." "Kyle, come here for a minute." "Your mom wants to talk to you for a minute." " Nice shot." " Thanks." " Not bad, not bad." " Check this out." "All right." " Nice, dude." " This ma et's crap." "Hey, guys." " Hi, Daddy." "I'm winning." " That's great." " What up, coach?" " Hey, Stemler." "Kyle, can you move those garbage cans around the side?" " All right." " Thanks, pal." " All right, I'm switching colors." " Why?" "I'm not feeling the orange." " Hey, honey." " Hey." "How was work?" " Good." "I got stuck at the office with a client." " I know, Shelly called." " I dropped off the fan at Leo's today." " Thanks for doing that." " I'll be right back down." " You got time to eat?" " Uh, I'll eat there." " All right, make sure you do." "Hey, barkeep." "I will take a banana daiquiri, please." "All right." "Would you like an umbrella with that?" "No, thank you, but keep those coming." "Okay." " So how you doing, pal?" " Me?"
