All American (2018) s08e13 Episode Script

1
Man, where do I see myself in 20 years?
Somewhere doing something fly.
20 years from now, I wanna
be retiring on the heels
of a Hall of Fame career in the NFL.
You know, a life that
makes my father proud.
Where do I see myself in 20 years?
Um, somewhere being a boss.
No, wait. I'm already
a boss, so, um, a mogul.
SINGER: If there's something
you wanna do, just do it ♪
LAYLA: Um, maybe even
with my own little girl,
having the kind of
relationship my mom and I had.
In 20 years, I hope to
have made a difference
and have helped to make
the world a better place.
Man, I just want to be enjoying life
with the woman I love,
retire from the NFL,
coaching our kid's pee-wee
league football team
SINGER: Have some
heart, but make sure ♪
SPENCER: and being an
asset to my community.

SINGER: If we just live
more and love more ♪
SPENCER: and being an

SINGER: Who knows who
we'd be if we just ♪
Man, I just want to be enjoying life

LAYLA: OK, um, I think
retire from the NFL
that is enough Spencer for now.
I can't believe JJ went back
and dug up these capsules.
Like, wasn't the point to wait 20 years?
I guess he couldn't resist gifting them
- to me and Spencer for the wedding.
- Yeah.
Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
OK, OK. Hey, just breathe. I'm here.
In for 3.
[INHALES]
Out for 3.
[MOANS AND EXHALES]
Oh, God.
Is there anything from Spencer yet?
No. I'm sorry.
But I'm here, and so
is Jordan and Coop, too,
and your mom is on her way.
So you're not gonna do this alone, OK?
We've got you.
Thanks.
But Spencer is gonna be here.
Olivia
how are you feeling?
Ugh. Like I've got two
bowling balls inside me
trying to do something
they're not supposed to.
Not far off.
The twins are definitely fighting
to make an early introduction,
and in the process, their heart rates
continue to have these periodic drops.
What does that mean?
That my time is up.
MALONE: Yes. We're
likely gonna have to do
that emergency C-section
and deliver them, Olivia.
No, no. We have to wait. It's too soon.
We've waited as long as we can.
No. Uh, you're not hearing me.
Olivia, our priority is to have
a safe delivery for you and your babies.
No, I am keeping my babies safe.
Liv, hey, just calm down, OK?
No, no, no. The only priority right now
needs to be finding my husband.
[MONITORS BEEPING RAPIDLY]
OK. Olivia, I need to
check your CTG sensors.
Can you give us a second?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
[SIGHS]
[LINE CONNECTING]
Bro, I don't know
what's going on with you,
but you need to get your
ass to the hospital now, OK?
Do you hear me, Spencer? Now.
Oh, God. Where are you?

[EXHALES]
Hey. That was quick.
Didn't feel quick when
call time was 5 a.m.
[CHUCKLES] Fair point.
And besides, there's only so many times
I can say my King Crenshaw line
and drink that damn soda.
Well, with that $12
million endorsement deal,
you better get used to saying it.
- Ha!
- [GRACE CHUCKLES]
Fair point.
[EXHALES]
I better get changed so we can head out.
Ready when you are.
Thanks for flying in, Ma.
Today's either gonna be
one of the best days of my career
or one of the biggest
mistakes I'll ever make.
Either way, I couldn't
do it without you.
It's been you, me, and Dillon
against the world since day one.
This ain't no different.
Yeah. You right.
Let's get it.
It's game time.
Game time.
[TAPS HAND]
[VIBRATING]
Hey, good to see you again,
Rachel, James.
- Same, always.
- How are you?
Though I must admit
we were a bit curious
about all the secrecy
surrounding this meeting.
Yeah, and our plane to New York
leaves this afternoon,
so make it quick, huh?
Understood. I appreciate
you all taking the time,
and as soon as our
special guests get here,
we can dive in.
What special guests?
Barry, what the hell is this?
An ambush. That's no way to go, son.
With all due respect, sir,
y'all left me no other choice.
I tried to have this
conversation with you
several times as my GM,
but you wouldn't even give me
the respect of taking a meeting.
Respect? You want to have a
conversation about respect, kid?
GRACE: Why don't we all just have a seat
and just talk?
Reasonably.
Fine, as soon as Spencer tells me
what this whole ruse is about.
I wanna be traded to the L.A. Robins.
I wanna come home.
BARRY: Now, look,
everyone in this room
has a vested interest
in Spencer's NFL career,
whether as a Bobcat
or my team here in L.A.
Phones have been put away.
It's just us, so let's talk
what it'll take to
make this trade happen.
Jesus coming from Heaven Himself
because under no
circumstances are we trading
a two-time Super Bowl-winning MVP.
No general manager worth
their salt ever would.
JORDAN: Wh why
why can't I see her?
CASSIUS: J. You are not helping, J.
- We know that she's here.
- Jordan.
Please. Someone talk to me, please.
- Outside!
- Hey, hey, get him outside.
- Hey, hey, why can't I see her?
- I got this, all right?
Look, no one's giving me an answer.
Maybe 'cause you're
screaming in everyone's face.
Let's give them a second.
- My sister is in there.
- Right!
She is in there with professionals.
Uh, we have a flight to catch.
BARRY: You said it was this afternoon.
GRACE: Look, my son has
poured everything he has
into this organisation since
the moment you drafted him.
He just needs a few
moments of your time.
All right. The floor is yours, Spencer,
but my patience is on a clock.
Yes, sir.
Give y'all a minute.
Please.
[SPENCER CLEARS THROAT]
OK.
As you know, I only have a
year left on my rookie deal,
so if you agree to trade me,
you'll save the franchise 150 million
on what would have been my extension.
Plus, I am sure whatever
Barry's willing to offer
will give y'all a chance to
reload y'all roster for the future.
And if we don't agree to this?
Then I'll just play out this season
and leave in free agency next year.
Not if I slap you with a franchise tag
at the end of the season.
What's that?
It's their way of keeping me
under contract against my will.
I won't sign that contract.
Fine. You won't play for us.
But if I don't remove the tag,
you can't play for anyone else either.
You'd really rather tag me than
honour my request to be traded?
You're colluding with the GM of the team
you wanna be traded
to. That's tampering.
All Barry did was help
set up this meeting.
Come on, Rachel. Let's
call this what it is.
You're punishing me
for wanting to leave.
Need I remind you we're the only team
who took a chance on you after you made
those inflammatory
comments at the NFL combine.
And what did I do in return?
Oh, that's right. I led y'all
to not one but two championships,
the first two in franchise history.
But you want to leave
us, the reigning champs,
for the the L.A. Robins?
This is bigger than football.
Bigger how?
'Cause you're never gonna
have it better than you do now.
Without me and my dad, you wouldn't have
your platform
or the endorsements.
Hell, we made you the
man you are right now.
Are you serious? And I made
y'all the team you are right now.
GRACE: OK, OK. Maybe we
just need to take a beat
and regroup in a little.
Uh, no need to regroup. We're done.
And Spencer's not being traded.
[SPECTATORS CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]
SINGER: I see the
child in your frame ♪
Wish I could tell him
you're not your mistakes ♪
If God gives you something
you don't think you want ♪
Don't you forget
just how lucky you are ♪
Don't you forget
just how lucky you are ♪
I won't forget just how lucky ♪
We are ♪
Which pee-wee game were
you just reminiscing about?
Ha ha. That obvious?
My first one.
Oh, you showed out that day.
- Mm-hmm.
- [GRACE CHUCKLES]
- You remember the night before?
- I do. [CHUCKLES]
You had your little uniform
all spread out on the bedroom floor,
your cleats, pads, even your mouthpiece.
That was the first time
I ever saw my name on a jersey.
- I stared at it all night.
- Mm-hmm.
The morning of the game,
you told me the name on
the front of your jersey
may change from time to time,
but the name on the back
that'll last forever.
I was really hoping to change the name
on the front of that
jersey today, but
I'm pretty sure I just fumbled it away.
The only reason Rachel
came at you that hard
is because she's hurting.
Hurting over what?
Think about it, son.
Rachel is a GM,
her dad is the owner.
Bobcats is a family business.
Legacy and loyalty
are everything to them.
So I got to ask you,
why is moving back right
now so important to you?
[SIGHS]
I'm grateful for my
life in New York, Ma.
I really am. It's just
I don't know.
My soul just never
felt settled out there.
Home is Crenshaw.
Home is you, Dillon,
our house on Palm Ave.
[EXHALES]
Home is the Bakers.
It's those swings in Van Ness Park
where Coop and I shared
every secret, every dream,
every fear.
Home is the Billy Baker Field.
It's King Crenshaw.
It's
where you and Pops met.
Home is this field
[CHUCKLES]
where I got the chance to honour you
as the real MVP of
my first championship.
You remember that?
It's also where I proposed to Liv
right there on that 22 yard line.
Home is where the next
generation of my family started.
And it is where I
wanna raise my kids, Ma.
Then let's bring you home.
Nah. Rachel ain't trying to see me,
not after the way I
just popped off at her.
Well, I convinced her and Mr.
Lamont not to leave just yet.
RACHEL: Look, my dad and I are
still firm with our decision.
The only reason we agreed to this
is because you wouldn't
take no for an answer, Grace.
I see a lot of my mom in you.
Her name was Aimee, right?
JAMES: That's right.
She got her wings, uh,
almost 10 years ago.
GRACE: You and Aimee bought
this team back in 1991
with the money you both
earned in the tech space.
That's one of my favourite
stories on your podcast.
Had me in tears.
RACHEL: The Lamont
name has a rich history
that traces back to our
ancestors in Scotland.
That legacy is
the foundation of everything for us.
And this football team is your legacy,
which is why you left your finance job
to return home to work for the Bobcats.
JAMES: Everyone thought she was crazy.
- RACHEL: I had my reasons.
- JAMES: Yeah.
Family and football are your reasons.
They mean everything to you.
That's why you busted your ass
to become the dope GM you are.
Where is this going?
Your journey is no
different than Spencer's.
Crenshaw is where he learned
the power of family and legacy.
It's his why.
And similar to you,
Rachel, it's the reason
he wants to bring his wife
and their twins back home.
I guess you could say that community is
my family business.
All right.
The only way we would consider a trade
is if you agree to give us
3 first-round picks
- [BARRY EXHALES]
- a second-rounder,
and Ethan Cooley.
BARRY: All that draft capital,
plus Ethan, my Pro
Bowl-starting quarterback?
You can't be serious.
JAMES: That is the market
for a two-time champion MVP.
You can't meet our asking
price, there's no deal.
Really, Rach?
You and I go back to our days as scouts
and you're gonna pull this BS on me?
What the hell happened to
good faith negotiations?
RACHEL: There's nothing to negotiate.
We're offering you fair market value.
No. You're being a complete
OK!
Let's just stay focused
on the task at hand.
Mr. Parker, what are
you willing to give up?
[HEAVY SIGH]
Final offer I got is one
first-rounder, two second-rounders,
and a third-round compensatory pick.
Shall we?
BARRY: Whoa. Whoa. Where you going?
I gifted you 4 draft picks.
We're gonna need
multiple first-rounders,
plus one of your proven star players
to keep our team competitive.
Fine. Then go. This is ridiculous.
- No. Wait. Wait. Wait.
- For what, Spencer?
Let me holla at you. Come on.
- GRACE: Please.
- BARRY: You know this is
Come on.
Mr. Parker.
Look, kid, as much as I'm willing to do
whatever it takes to get you here,
trading away 3 first-round picks
and my starting QB?
That's a nonstarter for me.
I hear you on that, but look,
I know there's a deal to be made here.
- I just don't think this
- Look, look.
Nothing I got ever come easy.
I had to fight every step of the way,
whether it's recovering from
my shooting in high school,
wrestling my way onto
the field in college,
missing day one of the draft.
Get to the point, Spencer.
Despite having to fight for
every one of those opportunities,
every team I played
for won a championship.
So what you trying to say,
that you're worth it?
Hey, they don't call me
the resource for nothing.
GROUP: The fight is not
over! The fight is not over!
The fight is not over!
The fight is not over
Go ahead, Mr. James.
Please don't give up
on South Crenshaw High,
Ms. Sanchez. Not yet.
My moms reminded me today that
if we keep taking resources
out of the neighbourhood,
there gonna be no hood left standing.
And, look, I'm guilty of it, too.
I took a resource away
from my neighbourhood.
And like Superintendent Carter,
I thought I was doing it
for all the right reasons,
but I was wrong.
I was wrong.
Reinvesting in our
community, reinvesting in us,
in all of us, is the right choice.
That's why I'm bringing back
the resource I took away.
What resource are you referring to?
Me.
I'm the resource.
[CHUCKLES]
I respect your ego, Spencer. I do.
But this isn't a school
district board meeting.
I run a billion-dollar franchise
that can't be sustained
without its first-round picks
and one of the best QBs in the game.
Agreed. I need Ethan
Cooley to stay as my QB,
but what about your running back,
Davonte Beemer?
Have you lost your
mind? Davonte's elite.
But he's stuck behind Ray Foster,
who is also elite and just
signed a big contract extension.
Look, Davonte would be a damn
good fit on New York's offense.
RACHEL: What's it gonna be, Barry?
[BARRY EXHALES]
Are two first-round draft picks enough
to at least get you back in that room?
MALONE: Mr. Baker, did
you speak with your sister
about her birthing plan?
Look, I told you, she's pretty firm
on waiting for her husband.
I pride myself on doing
everything possible
to honour our mothers'
wishes during labor
until indulging those
wishes becomes dangerous
to both mother and her babies.
LAURA: Is that where we're at?
Are Liv and the twins in danger?
- Mom, hey.
- Hey.
Thank God. Uh, Liv is stable for now,
but the contractions keep coming,
and and Dr. Malone believes
that she will need a C-section today.
OK.
It's good to meet you, Mrs. Baker.
- Hi.
- Perhaps you can help
your daughter understand that
we can't wait much longer.
These babies are coming
with or without her husband.
Uh, OK. Still no word from Spencer?
Uh, no. No. And Liv
is kind of in denial,
and I we don't know what to do, Mom.
They're talking emergency
birth plans and all this stuff.
OK. How how much time
does Olivia actually have
before the decision's out of her hands?
An hour at most.
Understood. Um
OK, well, I'm not gonna override
any of my daughter's decisions,
but let's see if I
can help things along.
OK?
- OK.
- Yeah.
OK.
[EXHALES]
Hi, sweetheart.
Hi, Mom.
[CHUCKLES] Hi.
Mom, I'm so happy you're here.
I'm so sorry that my
flight took so long.
How are you so pregnant
and still so beautiful?
I hear it's hormonal. [CHUCKLES]
How are you feeling, honey?
[SIGHS] Let me guess.
You've been told I'm being delusional
and/or irrational
and you were sent in here
to talk some sense into me?
I'm here to support you. That's it.
Zero judgment.
OK.
What's wrong?
I think Layla took my phone.
Oh, she did, she did.
It's OK. Her and Coop
are keeping an eye on it.
They just don't want
you stressed out, babe.
All you need to focus on is you
and these beautiful babies.
Spencer will be here, Mom,
and together, we're gonna make
all the necessary decisions.
OK. You two sharing
this special moment is
the most important. I get that.
But until then, is it OK if we hang,
me and my baby?
- OK.
- OK?
Yeah.
Now let's talk about fun stuff,
like what excites you the
most about being a mom?
[CHUCKLES]
Rach
we've been talking in circles.
Every single one of these
counters has been fair.
There's still the
matter of Ethan Cooley.
I already told you,
we gotta remove Ethan
Cooley from the chat.
Then we're back to square one,
and we have a jet to catch.
What about Davonte Beemer?
Your star running back.
He's a good back with great hands
who would absolutely cook for y'all.
Plus, I know how much you
wanted to draft him last year.
We did, until you traded
up and snatched him from us.
Well, he's all yours.
SPENCER: Along with those
two first-round draft picks.
[FOOTSTEPS]
WOMAN: Sorry for barging in,
but you're all over
the local news, Spencer.
I think you should call home.
Why?
What's going on?
It's Liv. She's in labor.
Oh, my God.
Uh, so we will
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING,
HOSPITAL ALARM SOUNDING]
OK, come on.
Wait. Oh!
Spencer, where the hell you been, man?
What's happening?
What's what's going on?
The babies' heart rates are dropping.
Again?
We gotta bring them back up, OK?
Just like before, the medicine is
gonna increase your heart rate, too,
so it's gonna feel a little weird,
sort of like a mini anxiety attack.
LAURA: OK. It's OK. Look at me.
I'm right here, OK?
I got you, sweet girl.
Breathe.
[INHALING AND EXHALING DEEPLY]
Spencer is on the way, I think.
Finally! Where has he been?
He wouldn't say, and
then the phone cut out.
- Have you told Liv?
- Not yet.
A bunch of doctors just ran in there.
Plus, I don't have any answers for her.
I mean, do you wanna get her hopes up
and he still doesn't get here on time?
Mm-mm. No.
Khalil, what are you doing here?
Why aren't you at the showcase?
Everyone's here. You haven't heard?
We ended the game early.
KJ tore his pectoral muscle.
He's downstairs in the E.R.
Um, go. I'll keep you
updated on Liv. Go.
OK. OK. Yeah.
I'm sorry. I know today
was a big day for you
and nothing has gone as planned.
Yeah, well, I got a
really good conversation
with the coach at Stanford out of it,
so it wasn't all bad.
- Wait. I'm I'm sorry.
- [COOP LAUGHS]
You had a conversation
with a coach from your dream school?
Bro, you gotta lead with that.
Look, I still gotta raise my SAT scores,
but I don't know, I'm I'm hopeful.
Yeah. We are more than
hopeful, Khalil, OK?
Our money is on you.
- COOP: Yes!
- LAYLA: That's amazing.
[LAUGHING]
Baby, that's what's up.
Were you scared having twins, Mom?
About the delivery process?
All of it.
Ohh. Honey, I was
probably around your age
when I was pregnant with you and Jordan.
I'd just started law school.
Your dad was on the road a lot,
and I was terrified that you guys
were either gonna come early or late
and that he wouldn't be there for it.
Yeah, but he was there that day, right?
He was. But
even if he hadn't been, I
made a conscious decision
to acknowledge my fear,
put it in my pocket,
and plow forward
because I had to start
thinking like a mom.
I'm not as strong as you, Mom.
No. Nonsense. You're stronger.
You have been since the womb.
Why do you think you came out first?
'Cause Jordan was lazy.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Because you've been a
fighter from birth, Liv.
You fought your way into this world.
You fought your way back to sobriety.
As a teenager,
you fought on behalf of the voiceless,
even when it meant going against giants.
You're the walking personification
of strength, my love.
[SNIFFLES]
MALONE: I'm sorry. Olivia
take a look at the screen for me.
You see this right here?
Your twins are holding
onto their separate umbilical cords.
LAURA: Both of them?
I know. It's unusual, but yes.
And that's why their
heart rate keeps dropping.
We are officially out of time, Olivia.
We need to deliver them now.
- Mom?
- It's all right.
They're listening to you
and holding on for their dad,
but it's time, honey.
It's OK to tell them to let go.
They're fighters, just like you.
OK.
OK. I'm ready.
I'm ready to meet my twins.
Thanks again, Doctor. We'll
let you know within the hour.
OK.
Dad
I really don't want to
get the surgery today,
not until I know that
Liv and the twins are OK.
Son, this injury is serious.
I mean, your mother needs to
hurry up with that paperwork
so she can talk some sense into you.
But the doctor said that I
have a little wiggle room.
AMINA: He also said the longer
you wait for this surgery,
the more your tendon
will scar and retract.
Thank you. I like her.
But I hear you on
family over everything,
so split the difference.
Schedule the surgery for
first thing in the morning,
and we'll pray that your
baby cousins come tonight
so you can meet them first.
Yeah, I really like her.
Yeah, I like her, too.
Uh, yeah, I'm gonna go
check in with with Jordan.
[CASSIUS CLEARS THROAT,
AMINA AND KJ LAUGH]
[EXHALES]
Man, this is this is crazy,
'cause I'm in the worst
pain of my life right now,
but somehow this is
the best day of my life.
Oh, hey. Sorry to interrupt. Uh
No, no. You're good. I'll come back.
OK. Hmm.
Actually, uh, my dad
was looking for you.
OK. Yeah. No worries. I'll
catch up with him later.
Uh, full ride to GAU.
OK, cuz, I see you.
Ha ha! Yeah, I appreciate you, cuzzo.
Yeah. How is the, uh, tear?
It hurts, but, um, it'll heal.
Mm.
But, listen, I plan on being back
before the championship in 7 months, OK,
so I just need Coach Jordan to make sure
we get to that chip in my absence.
- Yeah.
- Cool?
[CHUCKLES WEAKLY]
You you are coaching us, right?
What is he saying?
I'm just asking him
where the hell he's at,
what's taking so long.
- LAYLA: What? Again?
- COOP: Ha! Right!
Hey, Auntie Coop, I need a favour.
Oh, say less. What's up?
I wanna talk to that reporter
who helped you find Spencer.
OK. Talk to him about what?
My standoff with ICE
and my arrest.
And I'm ready to speak on everything.
I'm letting my mess be the message
and showing up for my community
the same way they showed up for my dad.
Uh, speaking of showing up!
Surprise!
LAYLA: Wow. That's an understatement.
GRACE: We're here. [LAUGHTER]
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey. I'm here.
- I'm here.
- Ohh, I knew it. Hi, baby.
The infamous husband.
You have about one minute
to get scrubbed in, Spencer.
It's time to meet your twins.
Yes, ma'am. I'mma be right there.
OK.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, I'll see you on the field, London.
Uh, where is everybody?
Oh. Trying their luck in the cafeteria.
Got it. Uh, guess I'll go join them.
You're not gonna ask about that call?
[SIGHS]
Look, whatever you and your new boss
have to talk about, it's
none of my business, man.
You mean me and your boss.
I was just wishing London luck
with the next football season
and saying how I was looking forward
to facing him on the field
whenever I beat y'all's
asses again in the playoffs.
Uh, wait.
You're not taking the job?
I'm not taking the job.
And for what it's worth,
I told him and AD Beckett
that they would be crazy to let you go.
[EXHALES]
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHS]
Thank you, man.
Of course.

- Amina Simms. Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. I'm from the "L.A. Tribune."
I'm so sorry. I'm actually
running late, but
- I'll be quick. Just wanted a quote
- OK.
on how it feels to be
the youngest campaign manager
to run a winning campaign.
Councilman Simms attributed
his groundbreaking victory
in Tuesday's special election to you.
Well, it feels earned, honestly.
We worked hard to make sure
the people of the Crenshaw
district felt heard,
and they proved their
trust in us at the polls.
My dad and I are of the
people and for the people.
Always have been and always will be.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
it's a big day for my aunt.
Thank you.
COOP: And that I will
faithfully discharge
the duties of an attorney
and counsellor at law.
To the best of my knowledge and ability.

Well, thank you, Councilman.
You're welcome, Mrs. Esquire.
LAYLA: It's a pretty big

I mean, first Coop,

Head Coach of the Year tomorrow.
BREONNA: I know, right?
And then Sunday, we have the Super Bowl.

[EXHALES]
I can't believe I won.
Hey, I can,
Mr. South Crenshaw Coach of the Year,
and in your second year, no less.
Yeah. Yeah, it's almost as impressive
as all of your producing awards.
- Hmm.
- You think maybe we could
you know, move them just to make
room for my one little trophy?
Move? Oh.
Look at that.
You know, I'll, um,
I'll think about it. OK. Just
Ooh.
CASSIUS: For the love of God,
will y'all two hurry up

Not it.
Not it. [CLEARS THROAT]
OLIVIA: Oh. Be careful.
Mary, please stop aiming
for your brother's head
with Grandpa Billy's doll.
God. Sometimes, I swear,
she's trying to kill him.
She does have one hell of an arm.
- Takes after her dad.
- Oh.
OK, more like her favorite uncle.
That is a Baker arm right there.
Where's Layla?
She's helping Monica
put her shoes on, so
[BLOWS]
- Seriously, dude?
- What? Oh, this old thing?
You didn't think I was just
gonna leave her at home,
now, did you?
- OK. Touché.
- [CASSIUS LAUGHS]
But it's been over two months,
and I'm coming back to
reclaim my title next year.
Yeah, OK. We'll see.
OK. Come on, Corey, Mary.
Let's go watch Daddy be great

Khalil?
This is crazy. It's been forever.
It sure has. Um, congrats
on the dance career.
I heard about the big tour.
Thanks! You know, I actually just landed
a new gig that's gonna
keep me put for a while.
You're looking at the new assistant
choreographer for the Laker Girls.
Yo, that's amazing.
So you made it back to cheer after all.
Something like that.
And you made your way
into medicine, I see?
Something like that.
Yeah, I'm a first-year medical student.
Oh, my God. Shut up!
Khalil, what happened to football?
I mean, football got me to Stanford,
Stanford got me to UCLA Med School.
Yeah, helping Liv the
day the twins were born
set me on a new path to a new dream.
Dr. Khalil Edwards.
I'm not mad at that.
The big game starts soon,
and I assume that you're going,
so, uh, I won't hold you.
But it was great to see you.
It was great to see you.
You know what?
How about we grab some better
coffee from across the street?
Aren't you gonna be late?
It's a 4-hour game.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Let's go. Come on. Come on. You ready?
Let's do this. Let's
do this. Let's do this.
First Super Bowl.
How you feeling?
Nauseous, man.
[LAUGHING]
That's good. That means it matters.
And just know
that feeling before the
start of every big game,
it never goes away
even when you know it's your last game.
Wait. What you mean?
You you retiring?
The bosses already know.
I asked that they let
me tell you myself.
And you thought now,
now was the right time to tell me?
Oh, you damn straight.
It's your team now, KJ.
And when you step out on that field,
I need you to own that, OK?
And it has been a honour
to play my last season
with you as my QB.
Nah, man.
The honour is all mine.
ANNOUNCER: And here
come the NFC Champions,
- the Los Angeles Robins!

Uh, Spence,
not gonna let you down out there.
I know you won't.
Now come on. Let's get it. Game time.
Let's do it.

[PLAYERS SPEAKING EXCITEDLY]
Retiring a 3-time champ.
Nicely done, brother.
[INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY]
And to think, it all started
right here on this field,
the field you're continuing
to build a legacy on.
Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am, aren't I?
[INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY]
It's not bad for a couple of
messed-up L.A. kids, right?
Whoa. Speak for yourself.
I was a gem as a kid.
Yeah, OK. Whatever.
But for real, though, I mean
think about how far we've come.
