00:00:45 Do it!
00:00:49 You got him! You got him!
00:01:04 I only ever met one man
00:01:07 I can't stop that.
00:01:09 Get out of here, you useless tit.
00:01:10 When I met him, he was already the best
00:01:13 Can you stop it?
00:01:15 Started training and managing
00:01:18 No.
00:01:27 Let me have a look at him.
00:01:29 He's fine. He's fine.
00:01:31 He ain't if you don't stop this bleeding.
00:01:33 I'll give you one more round.
00:01:36 -Seconds out. Let's go.
00:01:40 You let him hit you.
00:01:45 Sometimes there's just
00:01:48 Cut's too wide, too close to the bone.
00:01:51 Maybe you got a severed vein...
00:01:54 ...or you just can't get the coagulant
00:01:57 -Come on!
00:01:59 There are all kinds of combinations
00:02:02 ...down in the different layers of meat...
00:02:04 ...and Frankie knew
00:02:15 -That's it! Come on!
00:02:22 Knock him out, Willie!
00:02:32 People love violence.
00:02:34 They'll slow down at a car wreck
00:02:37 Same people claim to love boxing.
00:02:39 They got no idea what it is.
00:02:42 Boxing is about respect.
00:02:44 Getting it for yourself...
00:02:46 ...and taking it away from the other guy.
00:02:53 I'll warm up the car.
00:02:54 Mr. Dunn?
00:02:57 I owe you money?
00:02:58 No, sir.
00:02:59 I know your mama?
00:03:01 Don't rightly know, sir.
00:03:03 -Then what is it you want?
00:03:06 I won my fight too. Maggie Fitzgerald.
00:03:08 Well, Maggie Fitzgerald, what's up?
00:03:11 -Did you happen to see it?
00:03:14 I did pretty good.
00:03:15 Thought you might be interested
00:03:18 I don't train girls.
00:03:19 Maybe you should. People see me fight
00:03:23 Girlie, tough ain't enough.
00:03:39 It's a mistake.
00:03:46 Car should be able to back up, Frankie.
00:03:49 Just push, will you?
00:03:51 -What did Hogan want?
00:03:55 About time.
00:03:56 I turned him down flat.
00:03:58 Two or three more fights, you'll be ready.
00:04:06 Been two or three more fights
00:04:09 Look, Willie,
00:04:12 You lose it,
00:04:14 Now, two or three more fights
00:04:18 Whatever you say, Frankie.
00:04:21 Frankie liked to say that boxing
00:04:25 ...that everything in boxing is backwards.
00:04:30 Sometimes...
00:04:31 ...best way to deliver a punch
00:04:43 Well, do your best, Lord...
00:04:46 ...protect Katy.
00:04:49 Annie too.
00:04:51 Other than that...
00:04:53 ...you know what I want,
00:04:57 But step back too far,
00:05:17 -Bye.
00:05:20 Father, that was a great sermon.
00:05:23 What's confusing you this week?
00:05:25 Oh, it's the same old
00:05:27 Frankie, most people figure out
00:05:31 Is it sort of like Snap, Crackle and Pop
00:05:36 You're standing outside my church
00:05:40 The only reason you come to Mass
00:05:42 -It won't happen this morning.
00:05:44 -No, you aren't.
00:05:46 Then here's your answer:
00:05:49 Anything else? Because I'm busy.
00:05:51 -What about the Holy Ghost?
00:05:53 -And Jesus?
00:05:56 What is he then?
00:05:59 There are no demigods,
00:06:07 -Did you write your daughter?
00:06:09 Now you're lying to a priest.
00:06:11 You know what? Take a day off,
00:06:24 Some people would say the most important
00:06:29 Frankie would say, "Show me a fighter
00:06:32 ...and I'll show you a man
00:06:43 Think I only ever met one fighter
00:06:48 My name's Dangerous Dillard
00:06:51 ...out of Broward County, Texas!
00:06:55 Danger showed up
00:07:00 He'd come visiting L.A. with Ervel,
00:07:05 Apparently Ervel got lost
00:07:10 Danger looked for him for about a week
00:07:16 Hey, you know, I gots nothing
00:07:22 Well, that's nice to hear.
00:07:24 Yeah, lots of people where
00:07:28 ...but my mama taught me
00:07:32 ...niggers or not.
00:07:34 You got a nice mama.
00:07:37 Just one of those questions you ask...
00:07:39 ...but Danger wanted to give it
00:07:41 Well, sir, I'd likes to become
00:07:47 And I challenge the Motor City Cobra...
00:07:50 ...Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns...
00:07:52 ...to fight me for the welterweight
00:07:56 Yo, Flip, shut up, man!
00:07:59 You gotta have at least one fight
00:08:02 Hey, I'll fight any man, anytime!
00:08:04 Hey, you a bad man, huh?
00:08:06 Get in the ring. Go a round with me.
00:08:09 -Shawrelle.
00:08:11 Leave him alone.
00:08:14 Danger, you go on back to training.
00:08:17 Will do, Mr. Scrap.
00:08:22 Them's some nice tights, Danger.
00:08:25 I'll give you that ass-whupping later,
00:08:28 Hey, bro, those pants look
00:08:30 Give his mama back her tights.
00:08:32 Shawrelle Berry had a left hook
00:08:36 ...but he had a heart
00:08:39 Frankie bought the Hit Pit
00:08:43 Bobby wanted to move to Florida,
00:08:47 Bobby died while he was packing.
00:08:50 And Frankie found out
00:08:53 I thought I told you I didn't want
00:08:56 He ain't hurting nothing, Frankie.
00:08:59 Well, he's hurting me.
00:09:00 Breaking my heart, watching him punch
00:09:05 And how many times have I gotta tell you
00:09:08 Why can't you buy the cheap stuff?
00:09:11 It smells better, Frankie.
00:09:14 Bleach smells like bleach.
00:09:25 -Hey, Scrap.
00:09:30 Hey, nice fight last night.
00:09:36 Nice fight.
00:09:41 -Big Willie.
00:09:46 -Nice fight.
00:09:47 People are talking.
00:10:04 What the hell kind of language is that?
00:10:07 What do you want?
00:10:09 I thought you might like to know
00:10:12 ...not talking to another manager.
00:10:15 Not talking to another manager?
00:10:17 And not just any manager.
00:10:20 Mickey Mack.
00:10:23 You came in here to tell me that Big Willie
00:10:27 Not a word. Neither one of them.
00:10:31 I'm trying to read here.
00:10:33 Well, if you think that's more important.
00:10:37 Who's your new girl?
00:10:40 What?
00:10:52 Jesus Christ.
00:10:54 Better hurry up.
00:10:55 She keeps hitting it like that,
00:11:06 You're wasting your time.
00:11:09 Thought you might change your mind.
00:11:11 Dozens of trainers train girls.
00:11:15 Don't hardly need a dozen, boss.
00:11:17 Don't call me boss, now. I'm not your boss,
00:11:21 -Willie, you ready to work?
00:11:24 If I stop calling you boss,
00:11:27 No.
00:11:29 Then I might as well keep calling you it.
00:11:32 She came from southwestern Missouri...
00:11:35 ...the hills outside the scratch-ass
00:11:39 ...set in the cedars and oak trees
00:11:44 She grew up knowing one thing:
00:12:01 It's for my dog.
00:12:03 She'd come 1800 miles,
00:12:26 Working the bag, boss.
00:12:27 I'm not your boss.
00:12:45 Give her her money back.
00:12:48 You sure?
00:12:50 -How much did she pay?
00:12:53 -Jesus Christ.
00:12:56 No, don't be a smartass now, will you?
00:12:58 Woman thinks I'll throw away
00:13:01 ...just to get rid of her,
00:13:03 -But just don't encourage her, understand?
00:13:06 And what's Danger doing out there?
00:13:14 Looks like a bottle of water.
00:13:17 He paid his dues?
00:13:19 Dues? Boy can't afford pants.
00:13:23 Get out of my office.
00:13:35 Fuck me.
00:14:20 Can't think of it as a bag.
00:14:27 I'm not a trainer,
00:14:30 Appreciate any help I can get.
00:14:34 What you wanna do is,
00:14:37 And he's constantly moving.
00:14:38 He's moving towards you, around you,
00:14:43 Don't hit him when he's coming towards you
00:14:47 ...he's gonna smother your punches
00:14:51 So you watch him real carefully.
00:14:52 Keep rotating.
00:14:55 And keep one shoulder back so you're
00:14:58 Right? Go ahead, now. Good, good.
00:15:04 Good, good. Keep that chin tucked in.
00:15:07 Come on around.
00:15:10 -Good, good, good.
00:15:12 Yeah. Give it a few shots.
00:15:16 Tuck that chin in, now.
00:15:20 Yeah, that's good. That's good.
00:15:22 Now, you get this down,
00:15:29 You do have a speed bag.
00:15:41 I'll just borrow it till I can buy my own.
00:15:43 All right, you go on home now.
00:15:45 -I'll walk out with you?
00:15:48 -Wanna see?
00:15:59 It's nice.
00:16:03 Would it bother you
00:16:06 No, just pull the door closed
00:16:12 Thank you.
00:16:28 If there's magic in boxing...
00:16:31 ...it's the magic of fighting battles
00:16:34 ...beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys
00:16:50 It's the magic of risking everything
00:17:03 Okay, okay, fellas, watch the footwork.
00:17:06 Hey, that's it. That's it.
00:17:08 Hands up.
00:17:11 Jab, jab, jab.
00:17:26 Hey, Flip.
00:17:28 Hey, Flippy, come here, man.
00:17:30 I think I found somebody you can beat.
00:17:35 I don't fights women.
00:17:38 Why not, bro? It's perfect, bro,
00:17:41 Because she--
00:17:43 ...and then you could kiss to him.
00:17:45 Then you fight to him one more time.
00:17:47 That's beautiful, man. That's like poetry.
00:17:50 -It's like poetry.
00:17:52 -Thanks, bro.
00:17:55 Flip, I think you right. Look at her little
00:17:59 Man, that's barely even a mouthful.
00:18:02 Saw your last fight, Shawrelle.
00:18:04 Spent so much time face down,
00:18:11 Canvas has titties.
00:18:24 Just humping the canvas.
00:18:28 Come on, bro. The floor having titties?
00:18:32 Shut up, man.
00:18:35 Man, hold the bag, stupid.
00:18:39 Some titties right there, man.
00:18:42 Yo, when they start making those tights
00:18:45 Punk.
00:18:48 All right, that's enough.
00:18:53 -I'll give you a rubdown.
00:18:56 Middle one's got a piano lesson.
00:18:59 -Something wrong with Gracie's car?
00:19:02 Wants the old one back,
00:19:05 Maybe I should talk to the dealer.
00:19:08 I'd appreciate that.
00:19:10 Okay.
00:19:11 -Thanks.
00:19:22 The man's a rubdown whore.
00:19:26 You ever do any work around here?
00:19:28 Not my job I'd worry about, if I was you.
00:19:34 Little girl seems to be coming along.
00:19:37 Yeah. It's almost like
00:19:42 She might just be a natural.
00:19:48 She's got my speed bag,
00:19:52 I wonder how the hell she got that.
00:19:54 I wonder.
00:20:05 I'm gonna need that speed bag back.
00:20:07 -This bag?
00:20:09 And if you're hitting it,
00:20:12 Is that such a bad thing, boss?
00:20:14 Yes. Yes, it is.
00:20:16 Every time you touch it,
00:20:19 -I gotta agree, I am embarrassing myself.
00:20:23 Well, I can't just lend it
00:20:26 I understand.
00:20:29 Yeah.
00:20:33 Look, you seem like a nice girl.
00:20:35 -Can I give you some advice?
00:20:38 You'll find a trainer in this gym
00:20:40 ...that's gonna wanna train a girl.
00:20:43 It's the latest freak show out there.
00:20:45 The trouble is, they're gonna be
00:20:47 ...because you're too old.
00:20:50 I don't feel that old.
00:20:52 Well, neither do I, but you don't see me
00:20:56 Takes about four years to train a fighter.
00:21:00 How old are you?
00:21:02 -Thirty-one until my next birthday.
00:21:05 Thirty-one.
00:21:07 You wouldn't start training to be
00:21:10 Already been working it
00:21:12 And you can't hit a speed bag?
00:21:16 Never had any, boss.
00:21:19 Well, I hate to say it, but it shows.
00:21:21 Somebody's gotta be honest with you.
00:21:24 I hate to be the one to tell you the truth.
00:21:26 Yeah.
00:21:29 Well, sorry for using your bag, Mr. Dunn.
00:21:35 -You're not gonna cry now, are you?
00:21:39 Yeah.
00:21:42 Here.
00:21:45 -Keep the goddamn thing.
00:21:47 No, take the bag.
00:21:49 I haven't seen it in 20 years anyway.
00:21:52 I've had three since then.
00:21:56 -I'll just borrow it till I buy my own.
00:22:00 Just don't lose it.
00:22:10 Yeah, I know, Hogan...
00:22:11 ...your guy's the champ,
00:22:14 ...but if I don't see 40 percent--
00:22:17 Look, you call me back when it's 60-40
00:22:30 -Hey, Willie.
00:22:33 Something wrong?
00:22:34 I'm sorry to come by your house like this.
00:22:38 Oh, you're not people, Willie.
00:22:42 I wanted to thank you
00:22:44 Oh, well, you don't have to thank me.
00:22:46 Paying an extra thousand dollars
00:22:51 Gracie cried when she saw it.
00:22:53 Really?
00:22:55 I also needed to talk with you
00:22:57 Oh, yeah, well, I just got off the phone
00:23:01 Everything but the split.
00:23:04 I gotta leave you, Frankie.
00:23:07 What?
00:23:12 Willie, the title's just two fights away.
00:23:15 It ain't that, it's--
00:23:20 If I win, I gotta make
00:23:23 I need somebody in the action
00:23:27 And I gotta make the change
00:23:30 Only way this guy say he'd take me
00:23:33 So I get you the title fight,
00:23:37 Only way he'd do it.
00:23:39 I'm sorry, Frankie. I know how long
00:23:43 I wish it could've been with me.
00:23:46 Mickey Mack's a businessman.
00:23:51 You already taught me
00:24:01 There's some things people
00:24:14 And I challenge the Motor City Cobra,
00:24:19 ...to fight me for the welterweight
00:24:23 Danger, I'm wearing
00:24:27 Just working on my footwork, Mr. Scrap.
00:24:31 Danger, you throw a punch
00:24:39 Danger, while you thinking about
00:24:43 I'm thinking how I'm gonna hit it hard
00:24:52 No one had the heart to tell Danger
00:25:05 I heard about Willie.
00:25:07 That's cold. That's dead cold.
00:25:10 Of course, it wouldn't be so bad
00:25:13 Yeah, well, at least I can see
00:25:17 Didn't do you
00:25:20 Well, I've got the gym.
00:25:22 Don't need to be training fighters
00:25:26 Willie tell you why?
00:25:28 It was Mickey.
00:25:31 Oh, it ain't about connections.
00:25:34 Well, I found him,
00:25:37 How's that for not believing in him?
00:25:39 You could've got him a title fight
00:25:42 I'm amazed he stayed around this long.
00:25:45 Well, getting there and taking home
00:25:48 What was I supposed to do,
00:25:51 Not protect him?
00:25:52 Oh, you were protecting him
00:25:55 -Yeah.
00:25:58 Well, what about you, Scrap?
00:26:02 You were a hell of a fighter,
00:26:04 He get you a title fight,
00:26:07 ...banging your head against other
00:26:11 I had my shot.
00:26:13 I went out swinging,
00:26:16 Yeah, well, I remember.
00:26:17 And excuse me if I didn't want my fighter
00:26:21 -...cleaning up other people's spit.
00:26:25 Right, you're the smart one.
00:26:29 It's Gaelic.
00:26:30 Well, you just protected yourself
00:26:34 How do you say that in Gaelic?
00:27:41 Sorry.
00:27:50 Thanks.
00:27:51 The action continues as the champ
00:27:56 ...and commanding him
00:27:58 Up against the ropes,
00:28:01 Boxing is an unnatural act.
00:28:04 Because everything in it is backwards.
00:28:09 You wanna move to the left...
00:28:11 ...you don't step left,
00:28:15 To move right, you use your left toe.
00:28:19 Instead of running from the pain,
00:28:23 ...you step into it.
00:28:25 But Big Willie comes back. Oh, my God,
00:28:30 And the champ is down.
00:28:32 Ladies and gentleman,
00:28:34 And Big Willie Jones
00:28:38 It's unbelievable how
00:28:42 ...but there you have it, folks,
00:28:46 Everything in boxing is backwards.
00:29:04 Want a cheeseburger?
00:29:06 -You bought me a cheeseburger?
00:29:07 I never see you buy anybody
00:29:10 Well, I couldn't eat it, and I ordered it.
00:29:13 Well, I guess the planet
00:29:17 -You watch the fight?
00:29:21 Willie did good.
00:29:24 That's what you've got to say?
00:29:26 Well, he won, didn't he? He did good.
00:29:29 I see you been working on yourself,
00:29:34 You watch it?
00:29:35 Yeah, I got HBO.
00:29:38 Now, how can you afford HBO?
00:29:41 How long have I been telling you
00:29:45 Ever since I fought
00:29:47 ...at the Stadium Club
00:29:50 -That true?
00:29:52 Manager ran off
00:29:56 Don't you remember nothing?
00:29:57 Well, I remember walking halfway
00:30:02 I remember you leaving me with my dick
00:30:06 Yeah, well, I got a ride. The guy took off
00:30:09 I had to walk back two miles.
00:30:12 Your conscience got the better of you,
00:30:18 What the hell's that?
00:30:20 It's her birthday.
00:30:43 You're not breathing right.
00:30:47 So it's your birthday, huh?
00:30:50 How old does that make you?
00:30:52 I'm 32, Mr. Dunn.
00:30:55 I'm celebrating that I spent another year
00:30:59 ...which is what I been doing since 13.
00:31:01 And according to you, I'll be 37
00:31:06 ...which after working this speed bag
00:31:08 ...I now realize may be God's simple truth.
00:31:11 Other truth is, my brother's in prison...
00:31:13 ...my sister cheats on welfare by pretending
00:31:16 ...my daddy's dead,
00:31:20 If I was thinking straight,
00:31:22 ...find a used trailer,
00:31:27 The problem is, this is the only thing
00:31:31 If I'm too old for this, then I got nothing.
00:31:34 That enough truth to suit you?
00:31:38 This your speed bag?
00:31:40 Put yours behind the counter.
00:31:45 Okay, just hold it. Hold it.
00:31:48 I'll show you a few things,
00:31:51 No, sorry.
00:31:53 -You're in a position to negotiate?
00:31:55 Because I know if you train me right,
00:32:01 I seen you looking at me.
00:32:02 -Yeah, out of pity.
00:32:05 Don't you say that if it ain't true.
00:32:09 I want a trainer.
00:32:11 I don't want charity,
00:32:18 If you're not interested,
00:32:23 Stop, stop, stop.
00:32:25 Goddamn it, stop.
00:32:33 Okay.
00:32:35 If I'm gonna take you on--
00:32:36 -You won't never regret it.
00:32:40 -lf I take you on--
00:32:43 God, this is a mistake already.
00:32:47 I'm listening, boss.
00:32:49 If I take you on, you don't say anything,
00:32:54 You don't ask why, you don't say
00:32:58 And I'm gonna try to forget the fact
00:33:01 That's all I ask.
00:33:02 And don't come crying to me
00:33:05 -Alrighty.
00:33:08 No, not quite.
00:33:10 I'm gonna teach you how to fight...
00:33:12 ...then we'll get you a manager,
00:33:15 -I hate to argue with you, but--
00:33:18 I teach you all you need to know,
00:33:22 I don't care. You get your teeth
00:33:25 I don't wanna hear about it.
00:33:28 It's the only way I'll do it.
00:33:38 All right.
00:33:40 Now, one of the things I've noticed around
00:33:45 You stand there just flat-footed.
00:33:48 That's one of the best things
00:33:50 So here's what you do.
00:33:53 You get yourself--
00:33:56 Get in an athletic position.
00:34:02 -Move them how, boss?
00:34:06 -Stop.
00:34:08 Okay, you did two things wrong.
00:34:10 One is you asked a question,
00:34:14 Now, what I want you to do,
00:34:18 ...it's how good you hit it. So watch me.
00:34:22 You can count with me if you want.
00:34:24 It's just count. On a one-count,
00:34:26 -Can you show me that again?
00:34:29 Just say "one," please.
00:34:31 -One.
00:34:32 -One. Okay.
00:34:34 Yeah, just say "one." That's good.
00:34:37 Then I move over to my right foot. You'll
00:34:42 Then I hit it with my back of my hand, sort
00:34:47 Then I come over, and I shift to my left foot,
00:34:52 And ice pick maneuver again.
00:34:55 And I come over on my right foot
00:35:00 Don't watch anything but my feet.
00:35:13 Just do it like that. Just keep practicing.
00:35:45 You show them how to stand,
00:35:57 To make a fighter,
00:36:01 Rest when you're dead.
00:36:02 Come here.
00:36:08 You can't just tell them
00:36:11 ...you gotta make them forget it
00:36:18 Make them so tired
00:36:20 Only hear your voice,
00:36:24 Move your feet.
00:36:26 Move your feet around. Let's see you go.
00:36:42 Show them how to keep their balance
00:36:45 Not so low. Look at me.
00:36:53 How to generate momentum
00:36:57 And how to flex your knees
00:37:06 How to fight backing up, so that the
00:37:11 Then you gotta show them
00:37:13 Over and over and over...
00:37:15 ...till they think they were born that way.
00:37:20 Shift.
00:37:21 Shift away.
00:37:24 Okay. That's enough for today.
00:37:27 Good work. Good girl.
00:37:32 You think I ready for a fight, boss?
00:37:56 Hey. Hey, come here.
00:38:02 You're not breathing.
00:38:05 Hate to disagree with you.
00:38:07 Every time you get under pressure,
00:38:10 -Now, stop doing that.
00:38:13 But other than that,
00:38:16 -I mean, for a girl.
00:38:22 Think I might be ready
00:38:24 Well, we'll get a manager,
00:38:28 I'd like to,
00:38:37 -Got any family, boss?
00:38:42 You been spending all this time with me,
00:38:46 No.
00:38:49 Well, I've got a daughter, Katy.
00:38:52 That's family.
00:38:54 We're not exactly close.
00:38:57 How much she weigh?
00:38:59 What?
00:39:01 Trouble in my family
00:39:06 Yeah.
00:39:08 Not very big.
00:39:10 Used to be real athletic.
00:39:20 So, what do you think?
00:39:23 I ready for a fight?
00:39:31 Hey, Sally.
00:39:34 Come here for a minute, will you?
00:39:37 Frankie, I need to see you
00:39:41 -Can I see you a minute?
00:39:44 Has a couple of Golden Glove boys.
00:39:48 I'm looking for a good one.
00:39:50 Well, see, there you go.
00:39:56 Nice working with you, girlie.
00:40:01 -What'd you want?
00:40:03 I ain't lying, I've been watching you work.
00:40:08 Thank you.
00:40:11 So you wanna give this a try?
00:40:17 -Yeah, sure.
00:40:20 Because I think you're ready for a fight.
00:40:34 Break.
00:40:37 What am I doing wrong, Sally?
00:40:40 You're doing great.
00:40:42 -I ain't doing great, I'm losing.
00:40:47 You okay, honey? Can you see okay?
00:40:50 -Come on.
00:40:53 Come on, let's do this!
00:40:59 That's it!
00:41:08 Nice night, eh?
00:41:09 Jesus Christ.
00:41:12 That's Lonnie Washington's girl.
00:41:14 Hell of a fighter.
00:41:16 11-0.
00:41:18 Your left. Keep your left up.
00:41:24 Lonnie's got a lot of good fighters.
00:41:27 He's got Joey Adagio,
00:41:30 Yeah.
00:41:32 Your left, damn it.
00:41:34 Wouldn't have been my choice for
00:41:39 -He must think she can take her.
00:41:42 Your left. Keep your left up.
00:41:45 You think she can hear you
00:41:54 Of course, if Maggie loses,
00:41:58 Might even help him.
00:42:00 Lonnie's girl gets another win...
00:42:02 ...Lonnie might let Sally's lightweight
00:42:07 Sally's trying to set a fight with Adagio?
00:42:09 Hey, what do I know?
00:42:11 I just come because I enjoy the fights.
00:42:13 Mother of God.
00:42:17 Okay, break.
00:42:18 Hey. Come here, come here.
00:42:21 Hey. Get over here.
00:42:22 You're dropping your left hand.
00:42:25 Hey, Frankie,
00:42:28 You're doing a hell of a job.
00:42:32 Dunn.
00:42:33 -What are you doing?
00:42:36 -Is this your fighter?
00:42:39 It ain't fitting real well, Sally.
00:42:41 Fine, you take her.
00:42:45 -Somebody tell me what's going on.
00:42:49 You telling me this is your fighter?
00:42:53 Yeah, this is my fighter.
00:42:56 Then you got 10 seconds.
00:42:58 I keep holding my left up,
00:43:01 -Well, let it drop.
00:43:03 She thinks she knows you.
00:43:04 Every time you drop it,
00:43:07 So you just wait for her, see?
00:43:11 -When she cocks that right hand-- You hear?
00:43:14 When she does, step to the side
00:43:17 -Got one?
00:43:18 -Okay.
00:43:21 -Go give it to her.
00:43:24 How to protect itself.
00:43:26 A neck can only twist so far.
00:43:28 Twist it just a hair more,
00:43:31 "Hey, I'll take it from here because you
00:43:36 Neutral corner.
00:43:39 -See the way she did that?
00:43:41 Sugar Ray would do that.
00:43:44 "Lie down, now, rest, and we'll talk
00:43:49 It's called the knockout mechanism.
00:43:52 Don't get all carried away, now.
00:43:55 Thanks, boss.
00:43:58 You.... You forgot the rule.
00:44:00 -Now, what is the rule?
00:44:02 It's to protect yourself at all times.
00:44:06 Now, what is the rule?
00:44:08 -Protect myself at all times.
00:44:11 You gave me away.
00:44:15 It wasn't.
00:44:17 It's okay.
00:44:19 -I'll work on my left, boss.
00:44:24 Other than that, how'd I do?
00:44:26 Fine. You did fine.
00:44:29 You gonna leave me again?
00:44:33 Never.
00:44:35 That place you work, do they have
00:44:39 -Sure.
00:44:42 Oh, big can, yay size.
00:44:48 -I want you to take the weekend off.
00:44:52 -You gonna argue with me?
00:44:56 Well, good.
00:44:58 All fighters are pigheaded
00:45:01 Some part of them always thinks
00:45:05 Can you spare a few minutes
00:45:10 Truth is, even if they're wrong...
00:45:14 ...even if that one thing
00:45:17 ...if you can beat that last bit out of them,
00:45:22 -Thought I said I'd see you Monday.
00:45:26 That was last night.
00:45:27 You said not to argue with you.
00:45:41 Damn woman won't do a thing I tell her.
00:45:43 You want my advice?
00:45:45 What?
00:45:48 Where are your shoes?
00:45:50 I'm airing out my feet.
00:45:54 You got big holes in your socks.
00:45:57 Oh, they're not that big.
00:46:00 Didn't I give you money
00:46:04 These are my sleeping socks.
00:46:07 My feet like a little air at night.
00:46:10 How come you're wearing them
00:46:13 Because my daytime socks
00:46:18 Well, if I give you some more money,
00:46:23 Please?
00:46:27 Well, I'd be tempted,
00:46:31 Might find its way to the track.
00:46:49 It's over. It's over.
00:47:06 Didn't take Maggie long
00:47:20 I got the breathing thing down.
00:47:21 No, you ain't breathing because you're
00:47:25 -Thought that was the point.
00:47:29 Can't get good if you keep
00:47:31 How am I gonna get you fights?
00:47:35 Nobody wants to see
00:47:38 Why am I still doing
00:47:41 Because you haven't got the lungs
00:47:43 I do if I keep knocking them out
00:47:50 Frankie made her fight
00:47:53 ...just to let her know who was boss.
00:47:59 Three, four, five...
00:48:02 ...six, seven....
00:48:04 Sorry, boss.
00:48:06 Maggie left no doubt about it.
00:48:16 All right, let's do it.
00:48:21 Her first six-rounder
00:48:39 Get up!
00:48:41 To your corner.
00:48:42 -Three, four, five...
00:48:46 -...six, seven...
00:48:48 -...eight, nine, ten. It's over.
00:48:52 Maggie didn't knock her out
00:48:56 After that, no manager wanted
00:49:04 Frankie had to go into his pocket
00:49:07 ...sweetening the purse
00:49:23 That only worked for so long.
00:49:25 Then Frankie did something
00:49:28 He took a chance.
00:49:32 Box.
00:49:38 He moved her up in class.
00:49:41 That could've been a mistake.
00:49:56 Watch the right!
00:49:59 Watch it. Watch it.
00:50:08 Break, break. Step back. Break. Time.
00:50:20 Damn, damn, damn.
00:50:25 Give us two seconds, will you?
00:50:26 -Okay.
00:50:29 -Your nose is broke.
00:50:31 -Fix it.
00:50:33 -You can fix it.
00:50:35 I've seen what you can do. Fix it.
00:50:38 I can snap it back into place,
00:50:40 The ring doctor's gonna call it.
00:50:42 Please, Frankie, if you
00:50:47 Bite down on this.
00:51:06 -Inhale.
00:51:07 -Inhale.
00:51:09 Breathe in.
00:51:22 -Okay, huh?
00:51:24 All right, you got 20 seconds
00:51:28 ...and it's gonna spray
00:51:30 Twenty seconds, that's all you've got.
00:51:32 Now get going.
00:51:46 Go to your corner.
00:51:49 Three, four, five...
00:51:52 -Come on, breathe. Breathe.
00:51:55 ...nine, ten.
00:52:01 Mo cuishle.
00:52:07 -All right!
00:52:11 Right.
00:52:16 What you reading?
00:52:19 What's she saying?
00:52:21 Wants to know what you're reading.
00:52:23 It's Yeats. Keep your head back.
00:52:27 Why don't you talk
00:52:29 Show her what a treat that is.
00:52:32 When the hell they gonna get to her?
00:52:34 I'm okay, Frankie.
00:52:37 -What'd you learn tonight?
00:52:40 -What's the rule?
00:52:43 -Margaret Fitzgerald?
00:52:49 I'll be right here.
00:53:02 -How you doing?
00:53:05 -Yeah, you.
00:53:11 Broken nose don't hurt that much.
00:53:14 Why are you telling me that?
00:53:18 No reason.
00:53:20 But some wounds are too deep
00:53:24 And no matter how hard you work at it,
00:53:28 -Did you write your daughter?
00:53:33 I've no idea why you come to church.
00:54:06 After her 12th straight knockout,
00:54:13 The first was to fight
00:54:16 ...for the WBA welterweight title.
00:54:20 Billie "The Blue Bear."
00:54:22 Billie was a former prostitute
00:54:25 Had a reputation for being
00:54:46 Didn't seem to matter to her...
00:54:48 ...that something like that
00:54:51 And the crowds loved her.
00:00:03 The next was to fight
00:00:06 -...a Jamaican girl Billie just beat.
00:00:09 Not interested.
00:00:14 He turned that down too.
00:00:19 That's a lot of money, boss.
00:00:21 Yeah, you're making money.
00:00:24 It's a title match, right?
00:00:26 Are you British?
00:00:29 She's got nothing to lose,
00:00:33 Might still be a good fight.
00:00:36 Yeah, I just-- I just brought you up
00:00:39 Too good to fight these contenders,
00:00:43 Didn't notice I was fighting
00:00:47 Well, you can get yourself
00:00:51 In fact, if you'd learn
00:00:54 ...I wouldn't have
00:00:59 My face is out there so much it's a miracle
00:01:31 No, you can't work here
00:01:34 I made us a reservation.
00:01:37 You might wanna shower.
00:02:00 Here you go.
00:02:02 Here you go.
00:02:04 What's this?
00:02:06 Well, it ain't no big secret
00:02:10 Go on and blow.
00:02:16 Thank you.
00:02:22 Thirty-three ain't so old.
00:02:25 I was still fighting at 39.
00:02:29 Fought for 23 years.
00:02:35 How's it going, Scrap?
00:02:37 Doing good, Mickey.
00:02:39 Doing good.
00:02:42 -What'll you have?
00:02:50 You two not speaking?
00:02:53 Don't hardly know him.
00:02:59 I met Frankie right after
00:03:04 He was picking up cut work.
00:03:08 He used to patch me up
00:03:13 Good man to have in your corner.
00:03:16 Yes, he is.
00:03:19 He stayed with me
00:03:23 My manager was off
00:03:27 ...and it was just Frankie and me.
00:03:32 I was taking a hellacious beating.
00:03:36 Everybody's got a particular number
00:03:40 Nobody tells you what that number is.
00:03:43 Mine was 109.
00:03:46 I just didn't want to admit it.
00:03:50 Fourth round, this...
00:03:53 ...cut opens up.
00:03:55 Blood starts pouring into my eye.
00:04:00 They should've stopped the fight, but,
00:04:04 Blood was what I was there for.
00:04:07 Round after round, I kept getting
00:04:10 He's talking about
00:04:13 ...but he ain't my manager,
00:04:17 Round after round...
00:04:19 ...he's arguing with me.
00:04:23 And I'm almost laughing because, hell,
00:04:27 I go 15 rounds...
00:04:30 ...Iose by decision.
00:04:33 Next morning, I lose the eye.
00:04:37 In 23 years, he's never said
00:04:42 Doesn't have to. I can see it
00:04:46 Somehow...
00:04:49 ...Frankie thinks he should've
00:04:53 ...should've saved my eye.
00:04:57 Spends his life wishing he could
00:05:02 I wanted to go to 110.
00:05:05 Thing is...
00:05:08 ...if you wanna get to the title...
00:05:11 ...maybe he's not the one
00:05:18 You tell Mr. Mack we'd be here tonight?
00:05:23 You go on, eat your cupcake.
00:05:26 No, I got it.
00:05:33 It's the rule.
00:05:35 Always protect yourself.
00:05:38 People never take their own advice.
00:05:41 If she was gonna leave Frankie,
00:05:50 Mr. Mickey Mack?
00:05:52 I'm Maggie Fitzgerald.
00:05:54 I hear you're a real good manager,
00:06:00 But I thought you should know
00:06:04 ...so you don't need to make any more
00:06:09 Sorry for interrupting your dinner.
00:06:15 Maggie always did like
00:06:51 The letters always came back
00:06:54 "Return to sender. "
00:07:25 I'll make you some coffee.
00:07:29 What are you doing with your money?
00:07:31 -Saving it.
00:07:35 You know, you save enough of it,
00:07:39 Cash, no mortgage.
00:07:40 Gonna be a while before I can do that.
00:07:45 Yeah, well, it might be a stretch...
00:07:49 ...but you gotta get yourself
00:07:51 Go around wasting it on things
00:07:55 You understand?
00:07:57 Pretty soon, you wait long enough,
00:08:00 Okay, soon as I get the money.
00:08:02 I made a lot of mistakes in my life. I'm just
00:08:07 I know, boss.
00:08:10 -I'm not gonna live forever.
00:08:12 It's a tape on that girl in England
00:08:15 If you're gonna go for the title,
00:08:18 Hey, get the hell down.
00:08:21 -Thank you, boss. Thank you so much.
00:08:24 You're welcome, darling. Here, just--
00:08:28 What machine?
00:08:31 Don't have a TV, huh?
00:08:32 No.
00:08:35 Yeah!
00:08:37 All right. Okay.
00:08:45 -Ten minutes, love.
00:08:48 Man says he loves me.
00:08:49 He's probably not
00:08:52 First since my daddy.
00:08:54 I win, you think he'll propose?
00:08:56 You win, I'll propose.
00:09:02 Look, I got you a gift here.
00:09:09 I think they gave you somebody else's.
00:09:11 No, no, this is it.
00:09:14 What's it mean?
00:09:15 I don't know.
00:09:20 -It's beautiful.
00:09:24 -Yeah.
00:09:29 From the United States
00:09:33 ...Maggie Fitzgerald.
00:09:38 Mo cuishle.
00:09:40 -Mo cuishle. Mo cuishle.
00:09:46 She wasn't the main attraction.
00:09:48 She was on the undercard
00:09:52 But ask someone who was there...
00:09:54 ...they couldn't tell you who else
00:10:03 Box.
00:10:24 -Come on!
00:10:26 Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle!
00:10:32 Mo cuishle!
00:10:34 Mo cuishle!
00:10:37 Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle!
00:10:49 She's tough.
00:10:52 I can't get inside.
00:10:54 -You know why that is?
00:10:57 She's a better fighter than you are.
00:10:59 She's younger, she's stronger,
00:11:03 ...what are you gonna do about it?
00:11:13 Get in there.
00:11:15 Box.
00:11:30 Three, four, five, six...
00:11:35 ...seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:11:40 Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle!
00:11:51 -Mo cuishle!
00:12:01 I could ask someone, you know?
00:12:03 Good.
00:12:05 You find out, you let me know.
00:12:14 Whatever it meant, the name stuck.
00:12:17 Maggie fought in Edinburgh and Paris,
00:12:21 It was always mo cuishle.
00:12:24 Seems there are
00:12:26 ...or people who wanna be.
00:12:29 By the time they came back
00:12:32 ...Maggie was in a whole new league.
00:12:52 Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle!
00:13:05 After that they got another offer
00:13:11 What's the split?
00:13:13 -Sixty-forty.
00:13:16 We'll take 60 and you take 40,
00:13:20 That little girl?
00:13:22 You think I'm wrong, really?
00:13:25 ...that they wanna see some scabby Kraut
00:13:29 You find someone who says that,
00:13:39 There you go.
00:13:43 They're at 60-40,
00:13:48 How's that girl doing?
00:13:50 Well, she's got a concussion
00:13:53 She be all right?
00:13:55 -And if she isn't?
00:13:59 Well, you could send her your check
00:14:07 Boss?
00:14:09 That little house we talked about?
00:14:12 I bought it.
00:14:14 Well, smart girl.
00:14:16 For my mama. It's only about a mile
00:14:20 No mortgage, just like you said.
00:14:24 You're a good daughter.
00:14:27 She don't know about it yet.
00:14:29 I was hoping maybe we could
00:14:33 I know she wants to meet you.
00:14:37 Yeah, we could do that.
00:14:56 Oh, my God. Mama, come on out here.
00:14:59 Mary M.'s here.
00:15:18 -This is the Johnsons' old house.
00:15:25 It's all yours, Mama.
00:15:29 -Mary M., you bought this for me?
00:15:33 Darling....
00:15:35 There's no fridge. No stove neither.
00:15:37 They'll be here before you move in.
00:15:40 -How much money did this cost you?
00:15:43 -You shouldn't have done this.
00:15:46 You shouldn't have done it.
00:15:50 Government's gonna find out about this,
00:15:53 -Mama, no, they ain't.
00:15:57 ...but I can't live without my welfare.
00:15:59 Mama, I'll send you money.
00:16:01 What about my medicine?
00:16:04 -How am I supposed to get my medicine?
00:16:08 I hope you don't expect J.D.
00:16:10 He's getting out, you know.
00:16:12 Why didn't you just give me the money?
00:16:16 Why'd you have to buy me a house?
00:16:19 I didn't have to, Mama, but it's yours.
00:16:24 You want the money, sell it.
00:16:32 I don't--
00:16:40 I know you didn't mean
00:16:42 ...but sometimes you just
00:16:45 -That's true, Mama.
00:16:48 I'm just worried about
00:16:51 I'll send you some more money.
00:17:01 That man hitting you?
00:17:05 It's from the fight.
00:17:07 I'm a fighter, Mama.
00:17:10 Find a man, Mary M.
00:17:12 Live proper.
00:17:14 People hear about what you're doing
00:17:17 Hurts me to tell you,
00:18:09 Hi.
00:18:40 You ever own a dog?
00:18:42 Nope.
00:18:44 Closest I ever came was
00:18:50 My daddy had a German shepherd, Axel.
00:18:55 Axel's hindquarters were so bad...
00:18:56 ...he had to drag himself
00:19:00 Me and Mardell would bust up laughing...
00:19:03 ...watching him scoot
00:19:07 Daddy, he was so sick by then,
00:19:12 But one morning he got up,
00:19:16 ...and the two of them went off
00:19:21 But it wasn't till he got home
00:19:24 ...the shovel in the back of the truck.
00:19:31 Sure miss watching
00:19:43 I got nobody but you, Frankie.
00:19:48 Well, you've got me.
00:19:52 At least, that is,
00:20:04 Hey, can we stop just up here?
00:20:08 Yeah.
00:20:10 This place has
00:20:13 None of that canned-filling crap.
00:20:30 Now I can die and go to heaven.
00:20:37 I used to come here with Daddy.
00:20:40 Wonder if a place like this is for sale.
00:20:43 I got a little bit of savings.
00:20:52 That's fine, fine, thanks.
00:20:59 Hey, what the hell's Danger looking at?
00:21:02 Looks like another bottle of water.
00:21:04 Wanna come to Vegas with us?
00:21:07 Watch you suffer over the nickel slots?
00:21:11 Well, she's got a title shot.
00:21:15 Million dollars,
00:21:17 That's good, Frankie. That's real good.
00:21:19 Well, I could use a good second.
00:21:21 Can't find one,
00:21:23 Now, why the hell
00:21:25 Well, because you're a half-blind old fool
00:21:29 I thought you might like to feel what
00:21:33 Excuse me for feeling sorry for you.
00:21:36 No, you pick up somebody
00:21:40 Somebody with young hands.
00:21:42 You're not gonna cry now, are you?
00:21:46 I leave this place for one day...
00:21:48 ...got any idea what it would look like
00:21:51 Kind of like it looks right now.
00:21:53 Oh, go to hell.
00:21:56 You tell Maggie don't come back here
00:22:00 Will do.
00:22:05 Hey, Mr. Scrap.
00:22:07 I got a question,
00:22:10 No such thing as
00:22:13 Okay.
00:22:17 How'd you get all the ice in here
00:22:21 I've been thinking on it.
00:22:23 Can't figure it out.
00:22:25 Why don't I show you, Danger.
00:22:26 -You could do that? You could show me?
00:22:30 Also, Mr. Scrap, I was kind of thinking
00:22:38 Well, I got the tickets. You ready?
00:22:41 -We're flying?
00:22:45 You're asking me?
00:22:47 Would you rather fly,
00:22:50 So I finally get to decide something?
00:22:53 That's what I'm saying.
00:22:55 Fine.
00:22:56 Fly there, drive back.
00:22:58 That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
00:23:02 You said it was up to me.
00:23:13 Give them hell there, Danger.
00:23:15 Hey, old school,
00:23:22 Hey, Flippy, come here for a minute.
00:23:27 Jesus.
00:23:29 Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
00:23:32 Oh, God!
00:23:38 Dumb-ass.
00:23:40 Come on, Danger. Come on, Danger.
00:23:42 Come on. Defense!
00:23:44 Could be sitting up at the Mirage...
00:23:47 ...drinking mai tais...
00:23:50 ...Iooking at naked women.
00:23:52 Come on, Danger,
00:23:57 Danger, get out of there!
00:24:06 Fight back! Come on!
00:24:08 -There you go, Danger, there you go!
00:24:11 Jab him with the left.
00:24:13 Come on.
00:24:23 Hey, come on now, Flip.
00:24:24 -What you doing? Let him go.
00:24:27 I got you. Come on, come on.
00:24:30 It's all right.
00:24:33 We don't need no corner trainer.
00:24:35 How'd I do, Mr. Scrap?
00:24:36 You did good, Danger. You did real good.
00:24:38 You my man. You rock.
00:24:41 Come on, Flip, man, you ain't done.
00:24:43 You ain't even fight good yet.
00:24:45 Anybody can lose one fight.
00:24:47 Anybody can lose one, son.
00:24:50 You'll be champion of the world.
00:24:52 No, I won't, Mr. Scrap.
00:24:55 I should have knowed.
00:24:57 -Come on. We don't need to be talking.
00:24:59 Oh, no, I can do her.
00:25:04 All right.
00:25:06 Come on, don't take the gloves off, man.
00:25:11 Mind if I borrow this, Danger?
00:25:14 Man, I thought your name was Danger.
00:25:17 Come on, now.
00:25:19 Oh, oh, I see. Now I get to fight
00:25:23 Call ESPN, because you can't
00:25:34 Look out, Shawrelle. Easy, Shawrelle.
00:25:38 Keep going, man.
00:25:39 All right, man.
00:25:48 He ain't so tough.
00:25:50 One hundred and ten.
00:25:56 Get a job, punk.
00:26:28 Win this one, I'll tell you what it means.
00:26:32 I got you some pipers.
00:26:47 Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle!
00:26:51 Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle!
00:27:04 All right, now!
00:27:53 I want you to jab her right in the tits...
00:27:55 ...until they turn blue and fall off.
00:28:13 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:28:16 ...presentation of the evening.
00:28:19 In this corner, the challenger,
00:28:23 ...in the red corner.
00:28:25 In the blue corner...
00:28:27 ...the WBA welterweight champion
00:28:31 ...Billie "The Blue Bear."
00:28:37 Sweet Jesus.
00:28:54 Fitzgerald is pushing The Blue Bear
00:29:00 Challenger darts in, lands a combination
00:29:03 -And a right hook stuns the champ.
00:29:07 Break it up!
00:29:11 Break it! Break it!
00:29:19 Do that one more time,
00:29:24 Go fight.
00:29:33 You motherfucker.
00:29:42 Come on. What the fuck?
00:29:45 All right, that's it.
00:29:47 One point deduction
00:29:51 --comes back, hits Fitzgerald....
00:29:53 Ref, open your eyes, you....
00:30:11 Ladies and gentlemen, the first round
00:30:18 -Hold onto that.
00:30:25 -Looking good.
00:30:28 ...you're disqualified.
00:30:37 It's gonna be all right.
00:30:39 Got no doubt, boss.
00:30:43 Okay, just watch yourself.
00:30:46 Stay away from this dame.
00:30:59 Go to the neutral corner.
00:31:03 -Four, five, six...
00:31:06 ...seven, eight, nine.
00:31:22 Yeah, yeah!
00:31:25 Break it! Break it!
00:31:33 Fitzgerald continues to pummel
00:31:50 Yes! Come on!
00:31:52 I got it! I got it.
00:32:00 Eyes are blurring, boss.
00:32:01 -How many eyes you need to finish this?
00:32:07 -Good.
00:32:09 ...what do I do about the Bear?
00:32:10 Do you know that step into the outside
00:32:13 -I been doing that. She's made of steel.
00:32:17 I want you to hit her right up
00:32:20 Right in the sciatic nerve.
00:32:23 And just keep sticking her.
00:32:26 -What about the ref?
00:32:28 ...and everything will just be fine.
00:32:32 This is yours. You keep your guard up.
00:32:34 You keep it up.
00:32:49 Oh, yeah!
00:33:00 Break, break!
00:33:09 Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle! Mo cuishle!
00:33:41 Doctor.
00:33:56 Come on.
00:33:58 Breathe.
00:33:59 That's it. Breathe.
00:34:02 Good.
00:34:04 Look at me. Concentrate on me.
00:34:06 Breathe.
00:34:08 Good.
00:34:10 That's it.
00:34:13 Breathe.
00:35:00 How you feeling, darling?
00:35:10 Growing a beard, boss?
00:35:13 I thought it might help me
00:35:18 Can't say it does.
00:35:46 Does it--? Does it hurt much?
00:35:50 Don't hurt at all.
00:35:54 Well, that's good.
00:36:01 Where's Frankie?
00:36:05 Well, he's....
00:36:06 He's out there talking to the doctors.
00:36:09 Probably telling them how to do their job.
00:36:14 They're telling him
00:36:21 Means that my spinal cord's so broke
00:36:29 Gonna be frozen like this
00:36:37 I asked them to tell him.
00:36:49 Did you see the fight?
00:36:54 Of course I did.
00:36:56 You had her cold, Maggie.
00:37:00 I shouldn't have dropped my hands.
00:37:06 I shouldn't have turned.
00:37:15 Always protect myself.
00:37:17 How many times he tell me that?
00:37:21 Yeah...
00:37:23 ...he does like to repeat himself.
00:37:29 Will you tell him I'm real sorry?
00:37:36 No.
00:37:38 I won't do no such thing, Maggie.
00:38:00 Damnedest thing.
00:38:05 So, what's the plan?
00:38:08 I know you got one,
00:38:11 It's your fault.
00:38:13 Yeah, it's your fault
00:38:16 You kept after me until I trained her.
00:38:19 I knew I shouldn't have done it,
00:38:22 Everything kept telling me not to.
00:38:25 Everything but you.
00:38:37 I'm gonna get you out of here.
00:38:38 These doctors around here
00:38:40 Otherwise, why would they be
00:38:44 As soon as you're able to be moved...
00:38:47 ...we'll find some place where
00:38:53 You just rest there, I'II....
00:38:56 I'm on it.
00:39:07 Frankie must have called
00:39:09 ...looking for somebody
00:39:12 He came close twice,
00:39:16 ...said there was nothing to be done.
00:39:19 Took two months till she was
00:39:27 They got nurses for that, you know.
00:39:31 Yeah, but they're amateurs.
00:39:44 She developed skin ulcers
00:39:59 Thank you.
00:40:10 They made the six-hour trip
00:40:24 Fly there, drive back.
00:40:33 The rehab center Frankie found
00:40:37 They took good care of Maggie.
00:40:39 She wouldn't have complained
00:40:42 Took several hours every day
00:40:51 One, two, three, up.
00:40:55 Since she couldn't breathe on her own...
00:40:58 ...her respirators were always on.
00:41:01 Oxygen was pumped into her
00:41:30 Maggie's mama called to say
00:41:34 She waited by the window
00:41:38 Sure.
00:41:39 Frankie finally tracked them down.
00:41:42 Learned they'd checked into their hotel
00:41:46 Kept leaving messages
00:41:53 You don't have to hang around all day.
00:42:00 I like it here. I don't mind.
00:42:03 In fact, if you weren't here,
00:42:10 Mama will be here soon
00:42:13 Well, it's no burden.
00:42:15 Here.
00:42:19 Read this.
00:42:29 Okay, okay, that's enough.
00:42:31 That's terrible.
00:42:35 Anyway, I'll tell you in English
00:42:41 It says:
00:42:42 I will arise and go now
00:42:46 And a small cabin build there
00:42:51 And I shall have some peace there
00:42:56 Dropping from the veils of the morning
00:43:03 Not bad, huh?
00:43:08 You gonna build a cabin, boss?
00:43:11 -Me?
00:43:15 You know, when you quit all this.
00:43:20 You mean boxing?
00:43:22 No, I'll never quit.
00:43:25 I like the stink too much, I guess.
00:43:33 You think?
00:43:36 ...with your books and lemon pie.
00:43:40 How about you?
00:43:45 I could learn how to bake.
00:43:51 Well, then, I'II....
00:43:53 Maybe I'll start looking then.
00:44:15 Yeah.
00:44:20 -Go ahead.
00:44:26 Hi, I'm Frankie Dunn.
00:44:28 Where's my little girl?
00:44:30 Don't you think you ought to go back
00:44:32 She doesn't know you've been here
00:44:35 We got business with my sister.
00:44:39 Oh, you must be J.D.
00:44:41 There's some rides you missed.
00:44:43 Why don't you go back.
00:44:46 I drove all the way here
00:44:48 And you're suggesting
00:44:50 Mary M. can't go nowhere.
00:44:52 If we could've taken her to Disneyland,
00:44:56 Margaret Fitzgerald?
00:44:58 Right down here, 301.
00:45:00 -Come on, Mama.
00:45:08 And I saw myself breathing.
00:45:10 Like, my body was going up and down.
00:45:12 I thought,
00:45:18 Your hair needs washing.
00:45:34 It's just a....
00:45:36 It's just some kind of legal thing.
00:45:39 What is it?
00:45:40 How we all doing here?
00:45:42 Sorry, darling,
00:45:45 Mr. Johnson's charging us a lot of money
00:45:49 Why don't you just leave that.
00:45:52 Hey, old man...
00:45:53 ...you part of our family?
00:45:56 Stay the hell out of this.
00:45:59 Read it to me, Mama.
00:46:01 Well, it's just something legal
00:46:05 Mama, you don't have to worry.
00:46:07 The boxing commission's
00:46:11 But what if they don't, Mary M?
00:46:13 Mr. Johnson says
00:46:16 If you assign your assets to your mother,
00:46:19 No doctors, no funeral expenses.
00:46:22 -Nothing.
00:46:25 -Then I'll just read it to her later on--
00:46:30 All right. I'll be out in the hall.
00:46:38 You been a good daughter, Mary M.
00:46:42 You sign that paper...
00:46:44 ...it'll take care of your family...
00:46:46 ...the way your daddy
00:46:53 How do you make your mark?
00:46:57 Can you hold a pen?
00:46:59 She gotta do it with her teeth, Mama.
00:47:01 You gotta put it in her mouth.
00:47:04 Here you go, honey.
00:47:09 Did you see the fight, Mama?
00:47:11 Honey, you know how I feel about that.
00:47:15 I did pretty good.
00:47:16 You lost, Mary M.
00:47:19 Ain't your fault, the way I heard it,
00:47:24 Don't wanna lose the rest
00:47:27 There you go.
00:47:38 What happened to you?
00:47:40 Well, what's that supposed to mean?
00:47:43 Mama, you take Mardell and J.D.
00:47:48 Before I tell that lawyer that you were
00:47:52 ...you never signed those house papers
00:47:58 So any time I feel like it,
00:48:00 ...from under your fat, lazy,
00:48:05 And if you ever come back,
00:48:48 Well, maybe someone ought
00:49:05 Don't smell real pretty, does it, doc?
00:49:10 We might have to lose it, Maggie.
00:50:25 They took my leg, boss.
00:50:33 It's gonna be all right, you hear?
00:50:36 I always hear your voice, boss.
00:51:09 You need anything?
00:51:15 I need to know what "mo cuishle" means.
00:51:19 But you didn't win.
00:51:21 I don't have to tell you.
00:51:26 You're the meanest man I ever met.
00:51:29 No wonder no one loves you.
00:51:35 You remind me of my daddy.
00:51:40 Well, he must have been...
00:51:42 ...a very intelligent, handsome man.
00:51:49 You ain't gonna make me talk
00:51:54 No, I was...
00:51:56 ...Iooking at this catalog
00:52:01 I thought I'd get you a wheelchair...
00:52:04 ...maybe the kind that operates
00:52:08 I thought maybe you'd like
00:52:16 I got a favor to ask you, boss.
00:52:20 Sure.
00:52:23 Anything you want.
00:52:27 Remember what my daddy did for Axel?
00:52:42 Don't even think about that.
00:52:48 I can't be like this, Frankie.
00:52:54 Not after what I done.
00:52:55 I seen the world.
00:53:00 People chanted my name.
00:53:03 Well...
00:53:06 ...not my name,
00:53:13 But they were chanting for me.
00:53:18 I was in magazines.
00:53:24 You think I ever dreamed that'd happen?
00:53:31 I was born at 2 pounds,
00:53:38 Daddy used to tell me
00:53:45 ...and I'd fight my way out.
00:53:52 That's all I wanna do, Frankie.
00:53:57 I just don't wanna fight you to do it.
00:54:02 I got what I needed.
00:54:07 I got it all.
00:54:13 Don't let them keep
00:54:20 Don't let me lie here till I can't hear
00:54:30 I can't.
00:54:33 Please.
00:54:37 Please, don't ask me.
00:54:41 I'm asking.
00:54:47 I can't.
00:55:31 Hello?
00:55:37 In the middle of the night...
00:55:40 ...Maggie had found her own solution.
00:55:43 She had bit her tongue.
00:55:52 Stop. Stop.
00:55:58 Look at me. Look at me.
00:56:14 Nearly bled to death
00:56:18 She came around and ripped them out
00:56:23 They stitched her up again...
00:56:25 ...padded the tongue
00:56:46 You can't do it, you know that.
00:56:50 I do, Father.
00:56:53 But you don't know how thick she is...
00:56:55 ...how hard it was to train her.
00:56:58 Other fighters would do
00:57:01 ...and she'd ask, why this and why that,
00:57:07 How she fought for the title, I....
00:57:10 It wasn't by anything....
00:57:11 Well, it wasn't by listening to me.
00:57:23 But now she wants to die...
00:57:25 ...and I just wanna keep her with me.
00:57:32 And I swear to God, Father, it's....
00:57:36 It's committing a sin by doing it.
00:57:39 By keeping her alive, I'm killing her.
00:57:43 Do you know what I mean?
00:57:47 You don't. You step aside, Frankie.
00:57:50 You leave her with God.
00:57:52 She's not asking for God's help.
00:57:56 Frankie, I've seen you at Mass
00:58:00 The only person comes
00:58:02 ...is the kind who can't
00:58:04 Whatever sins you're carrying...
00:58:06 ...they're nothing compared to this.
00:58:09 Forget about God or heaven and hell.
00:58:13 If you do this thing, you'll be lost.
00:58:19 Somewhere so deep...
00:58:23 ...you'll never find yourself again.
00:58:32 I think I did it already.
00:58:55 We're keeping her sedated
01:00:01 I went to see Maggie this morning.
01:00:05 You must have been somewhere else.
01:00:08 Yeah.
01:00:13 You got a fight I don't know about?
01:00:21 It wasn't your fault.
01:00:23 I was wrong to say that.
01:00:26 You're damn right.
01:00:29 I found you a fighter...
01:00:30 ...and you made her
01:00:36 I killed her.
01:00:38 Don't say that.
01:00:40 Maggie walked through that door
01:00:42 No chance in the world of being
01:00:46 A year and a half later, she's fighting
01:00:49 You did that.
01:00:52 People die every day, Frankie.
01:00:55 Mopping floors, washing dishes.
01:00:57 And you know what
01:00:59 "I never got my shot."
01:01:02 Because of you, Maggie got her shot.
01:01:05 If she dies today, you know what
01:01:10 "I think I did all right."
01:01:19 I know I could rest with that.
01:01:24 Yeah.
01:01:26 Yeah.
01:01:38 Yeah.
01:02:17 I'm gonna get a cup of coffee.
01:02:18 Yeah.
01:02:45 All right.
01:02:51 I'm gonna disconnect your air machine...
01:02:54 ...then you're gonna go to sleep.
01:03:01 Then I'll give you a shot, and you'II...
01:03:05 ...stay asleep.
01:03:11 Mo cuishle...
01:03:14 ...means "my darling, my blood."
01:04:23 He gave her a single shot.
01:04:26 It was enough adrenaline
01:04:31 He didn't want her
01:05:21 Then he walked out.
01:05:23 I don't think he had anything left.
01:05:44 I went back to the gym.
01:05:47 Waited, figuring he'd turn up
01:06:09 And that's when a ghost
01:06:15 I got to thinking what you said,
01:06:19 What was that, Danger?
01:06:22 Anybody can lose one fight.
01:06:26 That's the truth.
01:06:28 Go on, put your gloves on.
01:06:32 Will do, Mr. Scrap. Sure thing.
01:06:53 Frankie never came back at all.
01:07:10 Frankie didn't leave a note,
01:07:14 I'd hoped he'd gone to find you...
01:07:17 ...and ask you one more time
01:07:20 But maybe he didn't have
01:07:24 I just hope he found someplace
01:07:27 A place set in the cedars and oak trees.
01:07:31 Somewhere between
01:07:34 But that's probably wishful thinking.
01:07:38 No matter where he is...
01:07:40 ...I thought you should know what kind
