70. No. Ow.

71. I know you love him.

72. But if you show people that side of you,

73. they're never gonna respect you.

74. You gotta be a man in this world.

75. You understand me?

76. Do you?

77. Okay. Five seconds, line it up.

78. If it's to be... It's up to me.

79. If it's to be! It's up to me!

80. Go!

81. Aaron, DJ! Dinner!

82. I don't know.

83. You're married to him.

84. I gotta go. Call me later if you can.

85. That's my seat, dickhead. Come on.

86. What, you gonna make me move?

87. Dude, this is my seat when I'm home.

88. - Don't start. Come on. - Make me move.

89. Go. Come on. Come on.

90. Guys. Stop it, please. Please stop!

91. - What's up? - Hey.

92. Who were you talking to outside, Dad?

93. Don't worry about it.

94. So, Deej.

95. You got a scrimmage this weekend, huh?

96. Yeah, you guys gonna come up?

97. I wanted to, but Aaron's got a game against Midland.

98. They got a great front seven,

99. but they ain't gonna stop this kid.

100. Don't you think he has the right to know?

101. Know what?

102. Who you were talking to outside.

103. I mean, I know you like to control everything,

104. but, um... I think he'd be happy about—

105. That's your first problem.

106. You need to stop thinking.

107. It's his future.

108. Why do you act like it's a threat to you?

109. Yeah, a threat. She don't know what the hell she's talking about.

110. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

111. I never saw a recruit come to get you.

112. A recruiter?

113. - No way. - I knew it. Where is he from?

114. - Nowhere. - Four guys came from Notre Dame.

115. Notre Dame? Yo. Holy shit.

116. They got that, like, Touchdown Jesus

117. and the gold helmets and shit.

118. Oh, my—

119. Forget the damn helmets.

120. He's gonna go where his brother plays.

121. Where I played.

122. I don't give a shit if it's Notre Dame,

123. Michigan or US-fucking-C.

124. Another recruiter comes to that door, what are you gonna tell him?

125. Well, I'll tell him I'm going to UConn.

126. UConn. Fuckin" A. UConn. That's right.

127. But I mean, like, it can't be that bad to just visit.

128. - It's a free trip to South Bend. - No. No.

129. It's Notre Dame. It's Catholic school, Dad.

130. I don't care.

131. Those recruiters don't care about you.

132. They're just trying to win you.

133. The second you get there, there'll be five other players

134. competing for the same position.

135. At UConn, you're a four-year starter.

136. DJ'll be throwing you the ball.

137. That's right.

138. Close to home. I'll keep an eye on you.

139. - Why you gotta keep an eye on me? - Because he fucked up his life

140. when he was your age and he doesn't want you

141. - to do the same. - I swear to God.

142. I'm not gonna mess up.

143. I know.

144. It's just—

145. Me and you, we're cut from the same cloth.

146. And then you throw her in with her police record.

147. Are you crazy? You got thrown out of school because you robbed a bank.

148. I didn't! I'm telling you it's the fucking last time, Terri.

149. Keep fucking with me. Keep fucking with me!

150. What are we doing here?

151. This is a good thing.

152. I used to play on Saturdays.

153. DJ, he plays on Saturdays.

154. But you, we're gonna watch you play on Sunday.

155. Do you know how big that is?

156. That's, like, the biggest thing in the world.

157. The NFL, they own their own day.

158. They stole it from church, from God.

159. When I used to play football, it was just a game.

160. But now... it's everything.

161. Think about this.

162. Every Sunday, every stadium,

163. every house of every window in America, they're watching.

164. The players, they're gods. They're like gladiators.

165. Everywhere they go, people are looking at them.

166. They're rich. They're famous.

167. And you know most important thing is?

168. They're men.

169. And the best ones?

170. They become heroes.

171. They're remembered forever.

172. And that's what you're gonna be.

173. Now you understand why I want you to go to UConn?

174. Notre Dame is a better school.

175. The fuck is your problem?

176. You keep fucking with me!

177. Real tough guy. You're a piece of shit!

178. You're setting a good example.

179. Know what? Clean that shit up yourself.

180. Mom, no. It's okay. It's okay. I'm gonna go to UConn.

181. That's right. Go ahead. Do what you do.

182. Take his side.

183. Ma.

184. Fuck. I'm sorry you gotta see that shit.

185. It's just— She gets under my skin, you know?

186. You trust me?

187. Yeah. Yeah, of course I do.

188. You weren't born into that body for no reason.

189. And when the time comes, you're gonna make this family proud.

190. This town proud.

191. And most importantly, the Hernandez name proud.

192. Understand?

193. Ace right fly. Two 33 go. On one. Ready?

194. Break!

195. And, go!

196. Hey, Reggie, Reggie, Reggie.

197. Ready? Set. Go.

198. Go, go!

199. Genius! Let's go!

200. - Yeah, baby! - Yeah, babe!

201. - Holy shit. You are such a fucking star. - Hey! Hey!

202. You're gonna break him.

203. Come on. Look at this boy.

204. Aaron, where's Ma? I lost her.

205. Oh, you know, she snuck off with Jeff for a cigarette.

206. So...

207. do you guys wanna come over to the house?

208. - You know, it'll just be the usual crowd. - Yeah.

209. No, that's not for you.

210. I'm gonna come by after.

211. Uh...

212. Well, the whole team's going to the diner.

213. All right. All right, I'll see you guys.

214. Have a good time.

215. You know, you ain't got to worry about him so much.

216. I mean, he's a good kid.

217. I can't tell what he is.

218. Go! Go! Go! Go!

219. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

220. - I still see bun! - Go! Go! Go! Go!

221. That's it. He got it!

222. Ah!

223. Move the fuck over. You're blocking me.

224. Make me.

225. You want me to whoop your ass in front of everybody?

226. You and how many friends?

227. I don't need no fucking friends.

228. Aaron, come on.

229. I ain't done with him!

230. Pick me up.

231. Shut up.

232. Trying to get fucking caught?

233. Dude!

234. Fucking weirdo.

235. It's cool.

236. Shut up.

237. - Come on, let's get out of here. - No, come— Nah, bro. Come on.

238. Hang on.

239. What did you do tonight?

240. I asked you a question.

241. I told you.

242. I went to the diner.

243. They saw you.

244. I'm over at Tanya's playing cards...

245. And I get a call from Richard Hanford from the mobile station.

246. He told me he saw you...

247. Dancing on a parked car?

248. - Oh. Yeah. - Huh, "Yeah"?

249. Apparently, you dented the roof.

250. The owner wants to file charges.

251. I'm sorry.

252. Yeah. Somebody was just playing, um, 50 Cent, "Just a Lil Bit."

253. And you know I like that song, so...

254. You think that's funny?

255. Do you think it's funny?

256. I'll knock your teeth out of your mouth.

257. - It wasn't just me. It was a bunch of us. - You're the only one they see.

258. You're bigger than everyone. Browner than everyone.

259. And they know you.

260. Wherever you go now, people are watching you.

261. Sit down.

262. Sit down, I'm not gonna hurt you.

263. Let me see your feet.

264. My feet, they used to kill me after the games.

265. When I was your age, I was the only Boricua in this town.

266. You know how hard that was?

267. I used to walk around with a chip on my shoulders.

268. I did things I shouldn't have.

269. But you know what got me straight?

270. You, and DJ.

271. Being a father.

272. I just don't want you making the same mistakes.

273. I won't.

274. We gotta be twice as good to get half as much.

275. You can't make mistakes, Aaron.

276. You ain't them.

277. You special.

278. Never forget that.

279. It's getting late.

280. Help me up.

281. Hey, are you all right?

282. What's up?

283. I got this shooting pain in my stomach all week.

284. - Did you go to a doctor? - Yeah. Yeah.

285. He says it's a hernia, an old football injury.

286. Gotta get it taken care of.

287. Don't worry about me, papito. Go to sleep.

288. Okay.

289. Good night.

290. I love you.

291. I love you too.

292. "No man, for any considerable period,

293. can wear one face to himself,

294. and another to the multitude

295. without finally getting bewildered

296. as to which may be true."

297. Who was Hawthorne talking about here?

298. Aaron?

299. Um...

300. Yeah.

301. He's talking about...

302. The minister.

303. Thank you, Shayanna.

304. Aaron, pay attention, please.

305. Can Mr. Hernandez come with me?

306. - Hey, bud. There you are. - Hey.

307. Why don't you, uh, come on in?

308. What— What's going on?

309. DJ is on his way. He'll explain.

310. DJ's at UConn.

311. Aaron, um...

312. Is my dad all right?

313. Please.

314. Aaron, just-just have a seat.

315. He said he was going in for hernia surgery.

316. And he said it was a nothing surgery. It's nothing, right?

317. - Would be better if DJ could— - Tell me what is happening.

318. We gather today to lay to rest Dennis Hernandez.

319. Dennis was a father.

320. He worked tirelessly to turn his sons into great athletes

321. and to even better young men.

322. Now it is on us, all of us, to help Aaron and DJ.

323. To support them, give them the love they need so they can flourish,

324. and carry their father's legacy forward.

325. Got two hoops games this weekend.

326. I'm sure they'd understand if you didn't play.

327. No, I just want everything to go back to normal.

328. I still hear his voice, like, in my head.

329. Can you give me some of this shit?

330. Yeah.

331. Bro, I can get you whatever you want.

332. - Stop, stop. - What's wrong?

333. Nothing.

334. - I, uh— I-I gotta go. - Okay?

335. I can't do this. If anybody found out...

336. - Nobody's gonna find out. - ... I'd be screwed. Not you.

337. Yo, what's that mean?

338. Yo, dude?

339. Nobody cares what you do.

340. - Don't be a dick, all right? - It's true!

341. - Everybody's watching me. - Who?

342. You don't get it.

343. I gotta be twice as good.

344. Can't be no faggot.

345. - Oh, hey, Jeff. - Hey, what's up, man?

346. - Your mom's, uh— - Where's Tanya?

347. Oh, she's at the house with the kids.

348. Your mom needed some help with the— something.

349. You're home.

350. Jeff was just dropping some groceries off.

351. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah. Yeah.

352. But, uh, I'ma take off.

353. You know, you guys can keep the bottle, and I'll see you soon, huh?

354. - Yeah. - All right.

355. Where you been?

356. Actually, uh...

357. I was getting this.

358. You don't like it?

359. This is your new thing? Tattoos?

360. Nah, I just—

361. I miss him, and I want him to be proud.

362. - What? - Never mind. It doesn't matter.

363. Nah, say it, say it. You hated him.

364. - Oh, my God, Aaron. - You hate him. Admit it.

365. I feel like I'm arguing with him right now.

366. - You wanna be him so bad? - Yes, I do.

367. Why? He was a criminal and a custodian.

368. - Sorry, a part-time custodian. - Oh, my God, Mom.

369. He got kicked out of college, came back here, and he never left this goddamn town.

370. Is that really what you wanna be?

371. Because you don't have to be.

372. You got the gift, Aaron, not him.

373. Go ahead and be a big star like he wanted you to be.

374. Come back a big hero.

375. Buy me a car and a house.

376. Get me out of this shithole.

377. But you gotta do it your own way.

378. You gotta be your own man.

379. - Come on, let's go. Push! Push! - Stick.

380. The weight room's that way.

381. Yeah? Maybe I'm a fan of girls" track.

382. Oh. Is that right? I had no idea.

383. Well, there's a lot you don't know about me.

384. I got a hoops game this weekend.

385. You should come check it out.

386. Uh, my mom's working,

387. and I have to watch my sister.

388. But what about the Spring Dance?

389. You don't seem like the dancing type.

390. Me?

391. What was that?

392. I'll think about it.

393. Oh, come on.

394. Don't play hard to get.

395. I am hard to get.

396. Terri, you fucking bitch.

397. - You're fucking my husband. - Get off of me!

398. She's fucking my husband!

399. What are you, crazy? What the fuck are you talking about?

400. Yeah? You think you're hot shit?

401. I am hot shit. - Isn't that your mom and your cousin?

402. Oh, you better keep running.

403. - Fuck you, bitch. Keep walking then! - Fuck you!

404. Just wait, I'll meet you in the parking lot, you bitch!

405. Fuck you. Shut the fuck up.

406. Hey, is that true?

407. - I don't have to explain myself to you. - Is that true?

408. Don't walk away.

409. - Get off of me! - Ma! God—

410. Apologize for her and I'll fucking kill you.

411. She don't care about you or anybody.

412. She's out for herself.

413. Was it going on before Dad?

414. The world don't treat you fair. You understand?

415. And that's why I do everything to protect the people I love.

416. Come here.

417. Whoa, whoa. Hold up, hold up.

418. Sorry to chase you down like this.

419. - Shit, it's cold. - Is it?

420. Alls I know is it's 74 today in Gainesville.

421. Steve Addazio, University of Florida.

422. Don't worry, we're not doing anything wrong.

423. Yeah. You know, I already committed at UConn.

424. Yep, when you were 14.

425. Is there somewhere we could talk?

426. Yeah, right here.

427. Tough as advertised.

428. Aaron, hot off the presses.

429. Rivals Hundred.

430. Top hundred in the country.

431. Look who's the number one tight end.

432. They think you're the best. So do we.

433. Love to bring you down for a visit.

434. - To Florida? - Come check it out.

435. We'll show you around.

436. Spend a little time with Coach Meyer.

437. How much you know about Coach?

438. Seen him on TV.

439. Aaron, this guy, he's so much more than a coach.

440. Just come meet him.

441. Yeah. You know, I just—

442. I already made a promise.

443. Right. UConn.

444. Great women's basketball program.

445. And after four years, you can come back here

446. and have your pick of insurance jobs or maybe real estate.

447. But let me tell you, play at UF,

448. and you'll be working where they draft you.

449. That's what you want, isn't it? Play in the NFL?

450. Eight players drafted last year alone.

451. At UF, you'll play in front of 91,000 people every weekend,

452. and millions more on national TV.

453. Aaron, buddy.

454. Look at me.

455. You are special.

456. Not sure you know how special you are.

457. You've worked so hard.

458. You owe it to yourself to come see what we can offer.

459. Wanna see your locker?

460. My lock—

461. Imagine thousands of fans lined up to cheer for you like a conquering hero.

462. Ready? Break.

463. They're practicing for the Orange and Blue Spring game.

464. It's a big deal.

465. You know Tim Tebow?

466. - Heisman Trophy candidate? - Correct.

467. That's who'd be throwing you touchdown passes.

468. Coach.

469. Aaron Hernandez, Bristol Central in—

470. Connecticut.

471. I know who you are.

472. I saw you make a one-handed grab against Meriden sophomore year.

473. I like to use two, but sometimes you gotta improvise.

474. My people say you're a can't-miss prospect.

475. I meet a lot of those.

476. Tell me something, Aaron.

477. You love to play football?

478. It's all I've ever done. It's all I know.

479. You gotta love it to be the best.

480. I understand you, uh, recently lost your father.

481. Yes, sir.

482. I lost a parent when I was your age.

483. The person that knew me the best, believed in me the most.

484. That's why I think of my team as a family

485. and why I recruit young men that I believe in.

486. If I believe in you, I can develop you.

487. You understand?

488. Yeah.

489. Mmm. I believe in you, son.

490. It would be a thrill to coach you.

491. Thank you, Coach.

492. We'll talk soon.

493. Huddle up!

494. Hey, my name is Aaron Hernandez,

495. and I'm gonna be a Florida Gator.

496. Uh, I always wanted to play at a top school against top kids.

497. My dad always said if you wanna be the best, you gotta play against the best.

498. I had no idea.

499. You don't talk?

500. No, we do, but he— he didn't say anything.

501. I swear.

502. - I can fix this. - I hope so.

503. I like you, DJ.

504. But it's gonna be hard having you as starting QB

505. without a five-star tight end.

506. Thanks, Coach.

507. Hey.

508. You still crashing at your cousin's house?

509. Living there, yeah.

510. - Wow. - Mm-hmm.

511. I heard she's dating Abby Singleton's dad.

512. Guess he got out on good behavior.

513. Yeah.

514. - Hello? - Yeah, what's up?

515. I'm just saying it's not a bad thing to get away from all this.

516. Go to school.

517. You wouldn't miss me?

518. Not even a little bit.

519. Uh—

520. I gotta step out and go to the bathroom.

521. - Okay. All right. - I'll be real quick.

522. Aaron. Hey.

523. Hey, what the hell are you doing here, man?

524. I've been calling you for two days.

525. Had to drive from Storrs to find you.

526. Yeah, I've-I've been busy, bro.

527. Yeah, sounds like it. Going to Florida?

528. So?

529. You have any idea how stupid I look?

530. You made a promise to Coach Edsall.

531. Yeah, I changed my mind.

532. You don't get to change your mind.

533. - What would Dad say? - Dad's not here.

534. That's your answer?

535. - Yeah. - Aaron.

536. Aaron, look.

537. All right, please just make this right.

538. Okay? I need this.

539. You need this?

540. Just play for the year, all right?

541. Then transfer wherever you want.

542. Man, you don't care about me.

543. What? What the hell is wrong with you?

544. Get the fuck out of here!

545. Ooh!

546. Man.

547. Hold up, man.

548. Yo! What up, kid?

549. What up, big dog?

550. Damn, bro. You came up. - Yeah, man.

551. This your new crib or what's up?

552. Yeah, man. It's my lady's.

553. This is my boy, Bo. Bo Wallace.

554. He's good peoples, man.

555. He held me down inside the pen for two years.

556. - Damn, man. Welcome home. - Thank you.

557. Pow.

558. That's what I'm talking about.

559. Thank you.

560. What the fuck he looking at?

561. Hey, whatever the fuck he wants to look at.

562. This is my cousin, Aaron.

563. The football player?

564. - Yeah. - Oh, snap.

565. What up, dawg?

566. Charlie Boy. This is Bo.

567. Yo, this kid's gonna be famous right here.

568. Oh. You Dennis's boy.

569. What is that?

570. Makes the high a little higher.

571. No, no, no.

572. Talking about that.

573. That a dog paw?

574. Hey, I thought you said he was from the hood.

575. Yeah, man.

576. But he's soft.

577. And what the fuck does that mean?

578. Nothing, man.

579. Tanya said your pops kept you

580. on the field, off the streets.

581. Ain't a bad thing.

582. It's called the Triple O.

583. Charlie Boy, here, is a Doo-wop.

584. Bloods from Davis Drive.

585. - How you make it burn like that? - This bad boy.

586. Fire this thing off a few times, barrel hot as hell.

587. Can I hold it?

588. Yeah, man.

589. Come up here.

590. Damn, man. You look just like your pops.

591. You knew him?

592. I mean, everyone knew him and what he did

593. in that car when the cop got shot.

594. He didn't rat. Fucking tough.

595. The king, loyal.

596. Still look soft to you?

597. Aaron?

598. Yo, can we get some help? Trainer!

599. Aaron, you okay?

600. You know where you are right now?

601. Can we get a medic out here?

602. I'm here.

603. All right, Aaron. Can you follow the light with your eyes for me?

604. You have a grade-one concussion.

605. You have to give this time to heal.

606. What about football?

607. No football.

608. No TV, no reading, drinking or smoking.

609. There can be long-term effects if you don't take it easy.

610. The doctor's right. I want you to come home.

611. Let me take care of you.

612. - That ain't his home. - Who the fuck are you, his mom?

613. Bitch, you wanna start this right here?

614. Get out of here so I can be with my son.

615. - He's my son. - Bitch.

616. Hey, hey, Jesus!

617. Just—

618. Please.

619. "Cause he asked.

620. Could you...

621. I've had enough of this. I—

622. It's so embarrassing.

623. You living at her house?

624. Is that the thanks I get after all I've done?

625. Done for who?

626. Everything you've done, you've done for yourself.

627. - You all are just— - How can you say that, huh?

628. I took bets for Marty to buy you a bigger bed.

629. Remember, you were too goddamn big for your bed?

630. Ma, you cheated on Dad.

631. - Was that for me? - Is that what she told you?

632. That bitch. That's not true.

633. And even if it were, who could blame me, huh?

634. I cooked and cleaned for all of you guys.

635. And what thanks did I get? Nothing.

636. I was married to the king and nobody treated me like a fucking princess.

637. - Stop. Stop. - I found something for myself.

638. - Stop. Stop. - He didn't just beat the shit you—

639. Ma, I said stop!

640. You are his son.

641. Doctors want me to sit. You believe that shit?

642. Man, these doctors don't give a shit about you.

643. They just trying to save they asses.

644. Bro, he's right.

645. You sit out even one game, you're gonna look weak as fuck.

646. Don't want motherfuckers thinking they can take you.

647. I'm not sitting.

648. Yeah, bro. You know why?

649. "Cause you're the fucking man.

650. You're an animal, bro.

651. A goddamn killer.

652. You're a beast.

653. Nothing can stop you.

654. You want him when?

655. January.

656. This January?

657. That's in five weeks.

658. It's a new way we're doing things.

659. We're getting our top recruits down to Gainesville early.

660. Give him a chance to learn the offense and participate in spring practice.

661. He hasn't even graduated.

662. Well, yes,

663. I was hoping we could all work together to graduate him early.

664. We sure would appreciate it.

665. No offense, Coach, but he is not ready.

666. Ms. Hernandez, what do you think?

667. I lost him.

668. I can't control him.

669. Academically, I can tell you he is not prepared.

670. We have a wonderful juco program to get him additional credits.

671. I mean, socially. He just turned 17, didn't he?

672. He's still finding himself.

673. He didn't just lose his father.

674. He lost him overnight.

675. I mean, if any kid ever needed a few more months to cook—

676. And how are you planning to cook him?

677. Because I know we can give Aaron the stability he needs.

678. We surround him with the right people.

679. We keep his head on straight.

680. That makes sense.

681. All I'm saying, let him finish here, graduate with us—

682. Look, I'll put it a different way.

683. If Aaron doesn't come now,

684. he jeopardizes his chance to be the player he wants to be.

685. The player we all want him to be.

686. - What about his education? - He'll go.

687. I have faith in Coach Meyer.

688. You'll take care of my baby?

689. I have coached a lot of boys into men, Ms. Hernandez.

690. That's what I'll do for Aaron.

691. What's with the new cut?

692. I went to Danbury with my old man.

693. - I enlisted. - En—

694. You're gonna be a marine?

695. - Bro, you're scared of spiders. - Yeah.

696. Well, what else am I gonna do?

697. All right, nobody's banging down my door

698. to play ball.

699. Man, nothing cooler than a marine, bro.

700. Yeah, except a baller.

701. I, uh— I heard you're leaving early for Florida.

702. - Yeah. - Yeah, when do you go?

703. Uh...

704. now.

705. Wait, what?

706. I just wanted to come say bye.

707. I can't believe it.

708. You ready?

709. Ready to crush it.

710. First-round pick. Play on Sundays.

711. Make my dad fucking proud.

712. Uh— They're saying that I might be able to come back for graduation.

713. So that's cool.

714. You know, you could come visit.

715. We could catch a game or something.

716. Yeah. Yeah, maybe.

717. Maybe?

718. I mean, well...

719. you know we gotta grow up, right?

720. Can't keep doing that stuff down there.

721. What stuff?

722. Come on, man. No, I'm serious.

723. You gotta keep your shit straight.

724. All right? It's not gonna be like up here.

725. Man, it's cool. I'm Coach Meyer's boy. It's cool.

726. Yeah, he doesn't know you.

727. I do.

728. Man, you think too much.

729. Come here. Come on.

730. Bro, that's what I'm talking about.

731. All right? Don't go starting no trouble.

732. Hey, me? Trouble?

733. I'll be all right, man.

734. Airport?

735. Yes, sir.

736. If it's to be?

737. Focus.

738. Let me hear it.

739. If it's to be!

740. It's up to me.
