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