00:00:00Camp in Los Angeles.
00:00:02I'm getting another chance early.
00:00:08Camp starts next Monday.
00:00:10Last six weeks, I'll play for big league scouts at the end.
00:00:14You really think you stand a chance?
00:00:16Yeah, I do.
00:00:18I hit over 350 last season.
00:00:20I was division two at a small college.
00:00:22Not even 60 games.
00:00:24I can do this, Pop.
00:00:26What about your shoulder? You told me yourself no pro scout would touch you after that injury.
00:00:28I've been doing my rehab exercises morning and night.
00:00:30Come home from a game at night.
00:00:32Couldn't even lift your arm.
00:00:34It's better now.
00:00:36I got to my last year college ball just fine, no problem.
00:00:38Look, it can't hurt to try, can it?
00:00:40Six weeks is too long.
00:00:42I need you here.
00:00:44I was thinking that you could hire Jesse Goodall.
00:00:46I can't afford to take anybody on right now.
00:00:48Oh, Cliff, he's not...
00:00:50I'll pay Jesse's wage.
00:00:52How do you aim to do that?
00:00:54I'll get a part-time job while I'm in L.A.
00:00:56Give me a chance.
00:01:00Dad, I've wanted this my whole life.
00:01:26I'm sorry.
00:01:56I got in.
00:01:58Beto, no way. Congratulations.
00:02:00I'm in for the L.A. camp.
00:02:02My baby boy.
00:02:04Going to the big leagues, huh?
00:02:06Great.
00:02:08Ariana, I got into the baseball camp.
00:02:10You already forget you have a scholarship to college?
00:02:12Yeah, but if I get signed to a big league team at this camp,
00:02:14I won't have to study anything
00:02:16but hitting for average,
00:02:18throwing down to second,
00:02:20and calling games like a boss.
00:02:22I got an order for five beef tamales.
00:02:24Not too much of a big star yet.
00:02:26Can you go get me a bag of shredded cheese
00:02:28and some chorizo for downstairs?
00:02:30Yes, ma'am. Anything you say.
00:02:54♪
00:03:24Thanks for your letter.
00:03:26I'm so excited for you back in my new restaurant.
00:03:28So everything's on time?
00:03:30Yes. I'm having the kitchen equipment installed on the 24th.
00:03:32Great. Let's set up a visit.
00:03:34Sure. You can meet me there.
00:03:36I'd love to discuss your thoughts on the menu.
00:03:38We're looking forward to meeting Chef Rodrigo.
00:03:40He will be a part of your life.
00:03:44Bye.
00:03:46Bye.
00:03:48Bye.
00:03:50Bye.
00:03:52We're looking forward to meeting Chef Rodrigo.
00:03:54He will be a part of your daily operation.
00:03:56No.
00:03:58No, my father won't be involved in the day-to-day,
00:04:00but he is your partner on this, right?
00:04:02He's been incredibly supportive of me my whole life.
00:04:04Good.
00:04:06We're counting on Chef Rodrigo to be there.
00:04:08Yes.
00:04:10♪
00:04:26Iowa, huh?
00:04:28Early Lindstrom. Nice to meet you.
00:04:30They don't mind him.
00:04:32Bit of an attitude, but he's all right.
00:04:34You know him?
00:04:36That's Damon Thompson, second base.
00:04:38He's been in some tournaments. Daddy's a big-deal agent.
00:04:40I'm early.
00:04:42I say you're right on time, right?
00:04:44Never heard that one before.
00:04:46I'm Roberto Vita, catcher. People call me Beto.
00:04:48What position you play?
00:04:50Shortstop.
00:04:52I hope your game's in better shape than your truck.
00:04:54♪
00:05:02Ugh, so vile, man.
00:05:04Being forced to live in here
00:05:06is definitely, like, cruel and unusual punishment.
00:05:08Home sweet home.
00:05:12That's mine.
00:05:14Oh.
00:05:16Looked empty to me.
00:05:18Yeah, well, um, I just told you.
00:05:20It's taken.
00:05:22No problem.
00:05:24Take the top bunk.
00:05:26Good boy.
00:05:28♪
00:05:36♪
00:05:52You guys ready?
00:05:58Hey, guys, which one's Coach Willis?
00:06:00Probably the one with the name tag
00:06:02that says Coach Willis.
00:06:04Blue cap, the red clipboard.
00:06:06Nice.
00:06:08Let's bring it in.
00:06:12Congratulations.
00:06:14You've been invited here because we believe
00:06:16that you have a real chance of playing pro baseball.
00:06:18During the next six weeks,
00:06:20you'll be drilling, practicing,
00:06:22and playing inter-squad games
00:06:24in order to showcase your abilities.
00:06:26We'll have one cut about halfway through.
00:06:28But by the end of camp, we'll have this roster cut down
00:06:30to two teams that will square off
00:06:32against each other in a final game.
00:06:34That game will be attended by scouts
00:06:36from everybody in the bigs.
00:06:38Quite a few big leaguers have stood exactly where you are today.
00:06:40I suggest you make the most of this chance here.
00:06:42All right, gentlemen,
00:06:44let's see what you got.
00:06:46Coach Willis,
00:06:48I just wanted to introduce myself.
00:06:50I'm Early Lindstrom.
00:06:52Lindstrom. Iowa, right?
00:06:54Yes, sir. Thank you for the opportunity.
00:06:56I want to see what you can do at second base.
00:06:58Second? Uh-huh.
00:07:00I'm sure you can play anywhere.
00:07:02You want to prove him right,
00:07:04you want to prove him wrong.
00:07:10What are you looking for?
00:07:12A small molcajete.
00:07:14The one that I used to...
00:07:16Mm.
00:07:18Thank you. Hang on. I want you to taste something.
00:07:20Honey, I'm kind of busy. It'll only take a second.
00:07:22What is that?
00:07:24This is a Mexican paella.
00:07:26But it's a Spanish dish.
00:07:28This is Spanish-Mexican fusion.
00:07:30I used poblano chiles,
00:07:32Mexican chorizo,
00:07:34and tequila.
00:07:40It's... different.
00:07:42Different.
00:07:44Yeah, it's tasty, but we do traditional,
00:07:46authentic Mexican cuisine.
00:07:48And what about my own restaurant?
00:07:50There's opportunity out there. I'm ready.
00:07:52You're not ready. You're not even close to ready.
00:07:54And how would you know? You never even give me a chance to show you that...
00:07:56Feel free to experiment on your own time.
00:07:58But right now, we've got a lunch rush to prep for
00:08:00and your abuela's birthday tonight.
00:08:18Way behind it.
00:08:20Come on, now.
00:08:22Don't want to do this?
00:08:24Small-town boy like you could get hurt.
00:08:38Yup.
00:08:40Clocked in about 99.
00:08:42Figured you've never seen one like it before.
00:08:44It's the first time for everything.
00:08:54Hey.
00:09:06Hey, farm boy.
00:09:08Better enjoy it. It's not going to happen again.
00:09:12Alright.
00:09:24You don't even know what you just did, do you?
00:09:26That's Blake Barlow, man.
00:09:28The B-Train.
00:09:30He was undefeated in AAA.
00:09:32He got kicked off for conduct detrimental to the team.
00:09:34And why is he here?
00:09:36Because he's got a 100-mile-an-hour fastball,
00:09:38which you just took downtown on your first at-bat.
00:09:40Yeah.
00:09:44That's it, right there.
00:09:46Yeah, perfect. Thank you.
00:09:48Okay, sure.
00:09:50Oh, let's get a few more balloons up.
00:09:52My grandma loves balloons.
00:09:54Thanks.
00:09:56Hey, Ari.
00:09:58What's up?
00:10:00I think you dropped this.
00:10:02Thanks.
00:10:04You're welcome.
00:10:06What?
00:10:08Who's it from?
00:10:10No one.
00:10:12Look, you can tell me.
00:10:14I can keep a secret.
00:10:16There's no secret.
00:10:18Give your girl some credit.
00:10:20And I'll go check on a few games.
00:10:28It's a little early for the Sharks
00:10:30to be circling, isn't it, Taylor?
00:10:32A well-trained eye can pick up on almost everything it needs to know
00:10:34day one of camp.
00:10:36And these baby blues saw a few things they like today.
00:10:38Taylor Doms.
00:10:40My dad's assistant.
00:10:42Junior agent.
00:10:44Hi, Early Lindstrom.
00:10:46Lower Iowa, shortstop, career 330 hitter.
00:10:48I know you've been on your family's farm
00:10:50that disrupted your college career,
00:10:52but you worked your way back up to top form senior year.
00:10:54She's good, man, I'm telling you.
00:10:56She must be a genius if she knows about farm boy here.
00:10:58Roberto Vida, West L.A.
00:11:00Can consistently throw out base runners
00:11:02and hit for average,
00:11:04but that strength and play patience is a concern.
00:11:06I'd be more concerned about his reflexes.
00:11:10Dude, bro, you are so done, man.
00:11:14So, you want to be an agent?
00:11:16Oh, I will be.
00:11:18I have a degree in sports management
00:11:20and an MBA from Stanford.
00:11:22And I'll tell you a secret.
00:11:24My passion, it's baseball.
00:11:26Mine, too?
00:11:28The all-American boy.
00:11:30I smell endorsements.
00:11:32Endorsements?
00:11:34See you around, Early Lindstrom.
00:11:38Wow.
00:11:40Hey, man, any chance you can give me a ride to work?
00:11:42I gotta start my shift in an hour.
00:11:44I'll throw in dinner at my family's restaurant.
00:11:46I thought you didn't like my truck.
00:11:48Are you kidding me? I love your truck.
00:11:50It's, um, vintage. It's, uh, classic.
00:11:52Family's restaurant. What kind of food do they serve?
00:11:54Now, that right there is the question to be asking.
00:12:02I thought you said it was close by.
00:12:04That was only, like, six miles.
00:12:06It took an hour.
00:12:08Welcome to L.A.
00:12:10Hey, don't sweat it.
00:12:12I cook food in the entire city.
00:12:14Are you cooking me dinner?
00:12:16This is only our first date, man.
00:12:18I'm no cook, but I work as a server sometimes
00:12:20because I got the gift of gab.
00:12:22So who does the cooking?
00:12:24My dad's a chef-slash-owner.
00:12:26He's training my sister, Ariana.
00:12:28She'll end up running the place someday
00:12:30if they don't end up killing each other first.
00:12:32By the way, it's my abuela's birthday.
00:12:34Your what?
00:12:36My grandmother.
00:12:38So the restaurant's officially closed.
00:12:40Hi, Beto.
00:12:42Hey, there's my baby boy.
00:12:44How was your first date?
00:12:46Pretty good, but I didn't blast my 400 feet
00:12:48on Blake Barlow like this guy.
00:12:50This is early. He gave me a ride.
00:12:52Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Vita.
00:12:54What a place you have here.
00:12:56Please, call me Rodrigo or Chef Rodrigo.
00:12:58I promised him some food.
00:13:00Uh, great, but why don't you just take a seat right here?
00:13:02Um, I don't know if Beto told you,
00:13:04but we're having a private party for my mother.
00:13:06Yeah, I didn't want to barge in.
00:13:08Here's some appetizer. It's a mixed platter.
00:13:10Now you're in for it, okay?
00:13:12I'll take care of you.
00:13:14Enjoy.
00:13:16Where's Freddy?
00:13:18Anyone seen him?
00:13:20I saw him heading out back for his break.
00:13:22That was, like, an hour ago.
00:13:24I need more tomatillo salsa prepped, like, now.
00:13:26I'll find him. Thank you.
00:13:28What's up, Ari?
00:13:30Busy? Missing your prep cook?
00:13:32Are you crazy? What are you doing?
00:13:34Stop. Stop it.
00:13:36Freddy, he's, um...
00:13:38You better see for yourself.
00:13:42Buen provecho.
00:13:44That's bon appetit in Iowan.
00:13:46Wow.
00:13:48Never seen Mexican food like this before.
00:13:50This is real Mexican food from the South.
00:13:52What's all the black stuff on the chicken?
00:13:54That's mole sauce, Comer.
00:13:56Wow.
00:13:58Pretty good, huh?
00:14:00I can't believe you.
00:14:02That is so disrespectful. Get out.
00:14:04Get out of here. I never want to see your face again.
00:14:06Who's that? That is my sister.
00:14:08Hey, hey, hey.
00:14:10You can't cause a scene like that.
00:14:12He fell asleep on Abuela's birthday.
00:14:14I know, but now we have to find a prep cook.
00:14:16We'll just have to hire somebody to work nights, ASAP.
00:14:18I can do it.
00:14:20I'm sorry. Who are you?
00:14:22I'm Early. I met Beto today at camp.
00:14:24Thank you, but we're really fine.
00:14:26Do you think you'll have the time?
00:14:28Well, we're supposed to be done at sundown every day,
00:14:30and I really need the job while I'm here.
00:14:32You can work in my kitchen any day. How do you not know what train you in?
00:14:34I typically have say in who I work with in my kitchen.
00:14:36Do you have any professional experience?
00:14:38Uh, no, but I'm a really hard worker.
00:14:40You'll be perfect as our temp
00:14:42until we can find someone permanent.
00:14:44And I promise not to fall asleep on you.
00:14:48Maybe we should discuss this.
00:14:50There's no need for discussion.
00:14:52My instinct says you'll be perfect.
00:14:54Trust me.
00:14:58Call him.
00:15:02I gotta take care of this.
00:15:18Looks delicious. What is it?
00:15:20Flan.
00:15:22Custard with caramel.
00:15:24Oh.
00:15:26Ariana.
00:15:28Venga.
00:15:30No puedo ahora.
00:15:32Venga.
00:16:52I still can't find the difference coming out of that hand.
00:16:54All right, let me show you something.
00:16:56We're on lunch, guys.
00:16:58You guys have anything better to do?
00:17:00Nothing in the world I'd rather be doing, okay?
00:17:02Just don't swing. Just watch, okay?
00:17:06See that? That's a straight fastball.
00:17:08The seams roll on top of each other, okay?
00:17:12Bottom dropped out of that hand.
00:17:14Right. That's the splitter.
00:17:16Yeah, but how do I know before I swing and hit and miss?
00:17:18Just read the seams, okay?
00:17:20Rotation isn't as tight, and it's gonna break right about here.
00:17:22All right?
00:17:24Take a lab one.
00:17:28See? That's it.
00:17:32Not bad, farm boy.
00:17:34Not bad.
00:17:44Is there something I can do to help you?
00:17:46Take some time to show you how to do things?
00:17:48Time I don't have right now.
00:17:52There's gotta be something I can do for you.
00:17:54You know what this is?
00:17:56A chili pepper?
00:17:58Chile de arbol. Bold heat.
00:18:00$15,000 to $30,000 on the school bill scale.
00:18:02Has a subtle smoky flavor.
00:18:04How about this?
00:18:06Easy one.
00:18:08I have no idea.
00:18:10Chipotle.
00:18:12It's a jalapeno ripened and smoked dry.
00:18:14We have two varieties we use in this kitchen.
00:18:16Mako and morita. Mako has a more intense smoky flavor.
00:18:18Okay, um, let me guess.
00:18:20Those look like zucchinis.
00:18:22Those are calabacitas.
00:18:24Onions! Those are onions. For sure.
00:18:26Congratulations.
00:18:28You have now justified my father's hiring of someone
00:18:30who's never stepped foot inside a professional kitchen.
00:18:32Hey, I got one out of four.
00:18:34Okay, so I'm batting .250 out of the gate.
00:18:36That's not bad for a start.
00:18:38Please, no baseball analogies.
00:18:40Oh, you're not a fan?
00:18:42Just don't think it's the end-all, be-all way of life
00:18:44like some people around here.
00:18:46Follow me.
00:18:55Got another long ball in you today, Nebraska?
00:18:57Iowa.
00:19:18Take him deep again, Lindstrom.
00:19:24Nice.
00:19:34You all right, bro?
00:19:36Get back in the box, kid.
00:19:38What was that?
00:19:40Come here and say that. Come here and say that.
00:19:42Let me go. All right.
00:19:44Okay, fine.
00:19:46Relax.
00:19:48Nice.
00:19:5020 on, 20 off.
00:19:52What's this?
00:19:54Ibuprofen for inflammation.
00:19:56Take it.
00:20:00Actually, you know what?
00:20:02It's not that bad.
00:20:04That's good, Max.
00:20:08Early?
00:20:10There's a fine line between being hard-nosed
00:20:12and being a problem.
00:20:14I know. I'm sorry, coach.
00:20:16He's been out to get me
00:20:18ever since I hit that fastball.
00:20:20I took a risk bringing you to this camp.
00:20:22Anybody who can work themselves back from an injury like yours
00:20:24doesn't lack character or determination.
00:20:26But what I need
00:20:28is for you to bring that character every day.
00:20:32Yes, sir.
00:20:36You won't see any more trouble out of me.
00:20:38Good.
00:20:46Good.
00:20:54What can I do to get Beto to notice me?
00:20:56I don't understand
00:20:58why you're so hung up on my brother.
00:21:00You could do so much better than a baseball player.
00:21:02They're just overgrown children, I swear.
00:21:04Beto's nice.
00:21:06Not the first word I'd use to describe him.
00:21:08He's super funny.
00:21:10And he's so cute.
00:21:12Okay, I don't need to hear that.
00:21:14Why don't you just tell him how you feel?
00:21:16My brother really doesn't have
00:21:18the intellect for subtlety.
00:21:20Yeah, but what if he laughs in my face?
00:21:22Then I have to see him here all the time,
00:21:24and it's just gonna be uncomfortable.
00:21:26I honestly think he'd be lucky to have you.
00:21:30What about you?
00:21:32What about me?
00:21:34You haven't been on a date in, like, a year.
00:21:36I've been a year.
00:21:38No, thank you.
00:21:40See? I'm right.
00:21:42I don't understand.
00:21:50Excellent camp today, gentlemen.
00:21:52We're almost at the midpoint.
00:21:54Cut day's next week.
00:21:56You're making my decisions real tough.
00:21:58Just the way I like it.
00:22:00All right, get on out of here.
00:22:02Get yourself some rest.
00:22:04Keep the night of cut day open, y'all.
00:22:06Yeah, my dad's annual soiree
00:22:08for the soon-to-be-signed is coming up.
00:22:10Soiree, huh?
00:22:12That's L.A. for fancy party.
00:22:14I know what it means.
00:22:16Beto, make sure farm boy takes a shower.
00:22:18I take no responsibility for his hygiene.
00:22:20If you don't get cut, you're invited,
00:22:22and it's not something you want to miss
00:22:24from a business standpoint or otherwise.
00:22:28Hey, you coming?
00:22:30Yeah, in a bit.
00:22:32Bro, don't you ever get tired?
00:22:34I bet my ride he's a robot.
00:22:36I'll sleep when I get signed.
00:22:38I thought you said we were done for the day early.
00:22:40Um, actually, I don't have to be at work
00:22:42for another couple hours yet,
00:22:44so I was gonna see if Coach Tannum
00:22:46could hit me some grounders in a second.
00:23:09-♪♪♪♪
00:23:11-♪♪♪♪
00:23:13-♪♪♪♪
00:23:15Hey, Mom.
00:23:17Hey, there you are. I haven't heard from you.
00:23:19Sorry, I've just been super busy.
00:23:21How's it going? How you feeling?
00:23:23I'm good. I'm hanging in there.
00:23:25How's your shoulder?
00:23:27Uh, it's fine. It's actually... it's good.
00:23:29Okay, so what's the scoop, honey?
00:23:31Uh, big cut day's coming up.
00:23:33They're cutting almost half the players at camp.
00:23:35Well, I think they're crazy if they cut you.
00:23:37Uh, well, Mom, I got to, uh,
00:23:39start my shift, so...
00:23:41Okay, well, you just better make sure you call me back.
00:23:43I will. Goodnight. I love you, Mom.
00:23:45I love you more.
00:23:47Okay, bye.
00:23:49Bye.
00:23:51-♪♪♪♪
00:23:53Hmm.
00:23:55-♪♪♪♪
00:23:57-♪♪♪♪
00:23:59After you wash the produce,
00:24:01place them in these labeled bins,
00:24:03always in the same place.
00:24:05Don't worry about the details.
00:24:07With the volume we do, we can't stand to fall behind.
00:24:09Ever.
00:24:11So, your dad.
00:24:13Seems like a pretty cool guy to work for, huh?
00:24:15Let's just say working with family has its challenges.
00:24:19Is that like a pizza?
00:24:21¿Tayuda? Yeah.
00:24:23Like a traditional Mexican pizza.
00:24:25Sort of.
00:24:27Oh, I need some tomatoes and onions diced
00:24:29if you think you can manage.
00:24:31My dad thinks I'm cut out
00:24:33to take over the family farm.
00:24:35What? He doesn't want you to be some big baseball star?
00:24:37No, he didn't want me to come out to L.A.
00:24:41He doesn't care what I want.
00:24:43Sometimes it's like he doesn't even know who I am.
00:24:49Hold up.
00:24:51Diced. Like this.
00:24:53Speed is good,
00:24:55but precision is better.
00:24:57And try to keep all your fingers.
00:24:59I'll make sure to do that.
00:25:03That's chili de arbol, right?
00:25:05You're learning.
00:25:07I told you. I catch on quick.
00:25:27Hey.
00:25:29Hey.
00:25:31You're gonna break that room.
00:25:33Just want to make sure
00:25:35everything's completely spotless.
00:25:41Hey, come over here.
00:25:43I want you to try something.
00:25:57Let's see what you think.
00:25:59This is...
00:26:01my Asian-inspired
00:26:03chicken and mole blanco.
00:26:09Wow.
00:26:11I could eat that all day.
00:26:15What? What's wrong?
00:26:17I thought mole was the black stuff.
00:26:19Traditionally, yes, but this is my own recipe.
00:26:21An Asian fusion mole
00:26:23made with lychee and rambutan.
00:26:25No idea what that is,
00:26:27but it tastes good, so...
00:26:29There's over 50 ingredients in that sauce.
00:26:31Each one in perfect balance.
00:26:33No, sorry. This is mine.
00:26:35At Casa Vida, we share.
00:26:37Uh-uh, uh-uh.
00:26:39This is too good to share, okay?
00:26:43Look, I know you don't like baseball analogies,
00:26:45but it is a lot like this sauce.
00:26:47And the restaurant, too, in a way.
00:26:49What are you talking about?
00:26:51It's all about the details.
00:26:53Every player on the field
00:26:55is dialed into their roles.
00:26:57It all comes together
00:26:59in a perfect balance.
00:27:01It's a thing of beauty.
00:27:05Anyways,
00:27:07you must sell a lot of this stuff, huh?
00:27:09My father would never let me put this on the menu.
00:27:11Why not?
00:27:13A dish like this doesn't fit his vision
00:27:15of what Casa Vida is all about.
00:27:17And because I created it.
00:27:23Does that sound weird?
00:27:25No, no, no.
00:27:27I mean, I love him,
00:27:29and we're really close, but...
00:27:31But...
00:27:33sometimes he gets in the way of your dreams.
00:27:35Yeah.
00:27:43Ramirez, you're next at the cage!
00:27:47Get under it!
00:27:49Nice! Let's go, let's go!
00:27:53Come on!
00:27:59Come on!
00:28:01Bag him! Bag him!
00:28:05There you go! All the way around!
00:28:07That cutoff, man!
00:28:13Be prepared!
00:28:15Put your face together!
00:28:23I thought you were my father.
00:28:25He's not in yet.
00:28:27What is that?
00:28:39What do you think?
00:28:41This is fantastic!
00:28:43Yeah?
00:28:45Yeah, but I thought your dad shot down the idea of a fusion page on our menu.
00:28:47This is something I'm doing on my own.
00:28:49On your own?
00:28:51Your own restaurant!
00:28:53You have to promise me.
00:28:55Promise me you won't tell anyone.
00:28:57Especially my father.
00:28:59This is so amazing!
00:29:11Hey, you done for the day?
00:29:13Taking a break.
00:29:15Hmm.
00:29:17Here's Early's check.
00:29:19Here's Early's check.
00:29:25How's it working out with Jesse?
00:29:27He didn't have to work at Early's.
00:29:29Well, he's got his big cut day soon.
00:29:31He sounds really good on the phone.
00:29:39He asked about you again.
00:29:41He doesn't need any advice from me.
00:29:43Cliff, you're his father.
00:29:45Marlene, please don't expect me to cheer him on
00:29:47while he cripples himself over some pipe dream.
00:29:49I can't do it.
00:29:51You remember when he was born?
00:29:53Oh.
00:29:55When it was our dream to have a farm
00:29:57and something of our own?
00:30:03Early just wants something of his own, too.
00:30:13No, you're still over it.
00:30:15You're lunging.
00:30:17Head down, eyes down, through the ball.
00:30:23Dude, you tattooed that one.
00:30:25Helping better with his breaking ball?
00:30:27Yeah, he's coming along.
00:30:29How long are you guys staying?
00:30:31Not for very much longer,
00:30:33unless you want to let me pull my truck out here and hit the headlights.
00:30:35Early, I've seen your truck.
00:30:37No way I'm going to let you park it on my field.
00:30:39Whoa!
00:30:41Hey, man, coach is bagged on you, bro.
00:30:43All right, one more.
00:30:47Here you guys are.
00:30:51She will be over with your drinks.
00:30:55Here you go. Are you guys ready to order?
00:30:57All right, people, keep it up. We got this.
00:30:59Ernie, here are my specials.
00:31:01Thank you very much.
00:31:03How we doing out there, Nikki?
00:31:05Happy people, empty plates.
00:31:07That's what I like to hear.
00:31:19Early.
00:31:21Hey, did I forget something?
00:31:23No, just your hat.
00:31:25Oh, thank you.
00:31:27My brain must be fried.
00:31:31You've been doing a good job.
00:31:35I wasn't sure about you at first,
00:31:37but I really appreciate your hard work.
00:31:39I appreciate the opportunity
00:31:42Hey, uh...
00:31:46Would you maybe want to
00:31:48go out with me sometime?
00:31:50Excuse me?
00:31:52I'd just like the chance
00:31:54to get to know you, that's all.
00:32:02I make my run to the mercado in the morning.
00:32:04The mercado?
00:32:06Market.
00:32:08To purchase some ingredients for the restaurant.
00:32:10Okay, great, yeah, tomorrow's perfect.
00:32:12No practice tomorrow.
00:32:14But it's not a date.
00:32:16Technically, you're working, assisting me.
00:32:18Got it. Tomorrow.
00:32:20Tomorrow.
00:32:22Good night.
00:32:32You want to let me in on the joke?
00:32:36When we were kids, we used to tell Beto
00:32:38that monsters lived down the alley.
00:32:40And then somebody would always hide in the dumpster,
00:32:42and then when he'd go by,
00:32:44they'd jump out and scream.
00:32:46Beto would run home crying to Papa
00:32:48every single time
00:32:50until he was about 14.
00:32:52You're his older sister.
00:32:54Aren't you supposed to be protecting him from monsters?
00:32:56You don't have any siblings?
00:32:58Only child.
00:33:00I can tell.
00:33:02Beto's a total daddy's boy.
00:33:04My mother passed away when I was eight.
00:33:06You know what I'd do without my mom?
00:33:08What?
00:33:10Nothing, it's...
00:33:12It's sweet, that's all.
00:33:18They have the best fresh produce in town.
00:33:20Here, buy these for me.
00:33:28Thanks.
00:33:30I'll keep.
00:33:32Nervous about cut day?
00:33:34Oh, so now you want to talk about baseball.
00:33:36Not at all.
00:33:38What do you have against the game?
00:33:40It's just always been shoved down my throat, you know?
00:33:42It's all Papa and Beto ever talk about.
00:33:44Now my brother's about to pass up a serious scholarship
00:33:46to a good college because he'd rather play ball.
00:33:48Like he's gonna be some big star.
00:33:50Pride and joy.
00:33:52And I'm just...
00:33:54there.
00:33:56I honestly don't see
00:33:58why you all like it so much.
00:34:00For me, being on that field,
00:34:02it's like having your heart
00:34:04thumping so fast,
00:34:06it's about to burst out of your chest
00:34:08but being completely at peace at the same time.
00:34:10So why doesn't your father want it for you?
00:34:12He's just scared.
00:34:14Scared?
00:34:16That I'll get hurt.
00:34:18What, like hit by a pitch?
00:34:20No, um, I had a pretty bad shoulder injury a few years back.
00:34:22He thinks if I get hurt,
00:34:24I won't be able to play baseball,
00:34:26and then I won't be able to help him on the farm either.
00:34:28But what he doesn't understand
00:34:30is that this is my life.
00:34:36I want to show you something on the way back.
00:34:48What is this place?
00:34:50Ariana's Mexican Fusion.
00:34:52Wow.
00:34:54My restaurant.
00:34:56My father made it pretty clear
00:34:58he wouldn't support me, so...
00:35:00I'm doing it on my own.
00:35:02Fusions, that's like the Asian mole stuff, right?
00:35:04Fusion cuisine is a blending
00:35:06of culinary traditions,
00:35:08different styles and cultures.
00:35:10Here's...
00:35:12the menu.
00:35:14Oh, wow.
00:35:16That's...
00:35:18Here's...
00:35:20the menu.
00:35:22To me, it's part of the evolution of the culinary arts,
00:35:24how traditions continue to grow
00:35:26by influencing each other.
00:35:28This would allow me to be creative in my kitchen every day
00:35:30and to establish my own voice
00:35:32as a chef.
00:35:34I'm impressed.
00:35:36But won't you have to tell your dad eventually?
00:35:38I'm waiting till I close with my investors,
00:35:40but it's basically a done deal.
00:35:42And I put all my savings into it, so...
00:35:44I'm all in.
00:35:46Thank you
00:35:48for showing me.
00:35:50And trusting me.
00:35:54We should get back.
00:35:56Yeah.
00:35:58Yeah.
00:36:10Come on!
00:36:12Come on!
00:36:16Good!
00:36:18Good!
00:36:32Gentlemen.
00:36:40Congratulations.
00:36:42Y'all worked very hard.
00:36:44I'm proud of each and every one of you.
00:36:46Now, whether or not you made the cut,
00:36:48whether or not you're gonna continue with us on here at camp,
00:36:50I want you to know that I am proud of each and every one of you.
00:36:52I wish you the very best.
00:37:04That's me, baby.
00:37:06I'm in. Damon, where you at?
00:37:08Right there.
00:37:10Awesome. I got in.
00:37:12He's tough.
00:37:16Sweet.
00:37:18Just give me a second.
00:37:20All right!
00:37:22Early.
00:37:26All right.
00:37:30I want you to know, if I could keep one more player,
00:37:32I'd beat you.
00:37:34You don't have to say anything, Coach.
00:37:36Nah, nah. I mean it. You were my toughest cut.
00:37:38Heart and leadership, you're top of the list.
00:37:40It's just after talking with the medical staff.
00:37:42I just really wonder
00:37:44if your shoulder could hold up to a pro baseball grind.
00:37:48Thanks for the opportunity, Coach.
00:38:10Hey.
00:38:26Hey, farm boy.
00:38:28Think fast.
00:38:32Congratulations, man.
00:38:34Nah. Congratulations to you.
00:38:36What are you talking about?
00:38:38I talked to Coach.
00:38:40Looks like you're back in.
00:38:42Don't mess with me, man. Not today. Come on.
00:38:44I'm not messing. You're back in.
00:38:46I gave up my spot.
00:38:48What? Why?
00:38:52You okay with riding around
00:38:54in broken-down buses?
00:38:56Sleeping in roadside motels
00:38:58between minor league ballparks
00:39:00for four, five years before getting to the bigs?
00:39:02Sounds like heaven in a jar, yeah.
00:39:04Maybe to you.
00:39:06Me?
00:39:08I'll take the hotel suite
00:39:10and the private jet.
00:39:12The agent life.
00:39:14I've decided to go work with my dad.
00:39:16Yeah.
00:39:18Easy, easy, easy.
00:39:20You act like I'm doing you a favor.
00:39:22I'm still gonna be making seven figures
00:39:24while you're floating around,
00:39:26playing for crowds of hundreds in places like Portland
00:39:28or Des Moines.
00:39:30Hey, Des Moines is a top-notch city.
00:39:32Yeah, I'll take your word for it.
00:39:34I'm leaving Nebraska.
00:39:36Still got to show me how to hit that breaking ball.
00:39:38For real, man.
00:39:40You're made for this.
00:39:42I can't thank you enough, man.
00:39:44Just play your heart out.
00:39:46That's all the thanks I need.
00:39:48Yeah, man.
00:39:52I won't let you down.
00:39:56If I can have your attention.
00:39:58A toast to my baby boy
00:40:00taking this next step
00:40:02on the way to the big leagues.
00:40:06And to Early, a great new addition to our familia,
00:40:08who made the team as well.
00:40:12Made it by the skin of my teeth.
00:40:14Hey, say hi to Alice.
00:40:16Congratulations.
00:40:20Hey, bro.
00:40:22We better get to the party.
00:40:24I got a tie for you.
00:40:26I'm actually scheduled to work tonight.
00:40:28You're kidding me, right?
00:40:30Is it a pleasure?
00:40:32Just this once, I suppose.
00:40:38Well, now I'll really never have a chance
00:40:40with Beto.
00:40:42Baseball stars only want to date supermodels.
00:40:44Thanks, boss.
00:40:46All right.
00:41:00Hey.
00:41:14Hey, what's up, man?
00:41:16Try not to put the clutch down all the way,
00:41:18because I might get stuck.
00:41:20Dude, they're professionals.
00:41:22Right. Okay.
00:41:24There you go. Thank you.
00:41:26Ow.
00:41:28And please, just try to be smooth for my sake, okay?
00:41:30Okay.
00:41:34You coming or what?
00:41:36Uh, yeah. I'll meet you in there.
00:41:38Just give me a minute.
00:41:52Gentlemen, can I offer you something to drink?
00:41:54Oh, thank you.
00:41:56You're welcome, sir.
00:41:58We're at the party.
00:42:06Gentlemen, glad you could make it.
00:42:08This is my dad, Dante Thompson.
00:42:10Mr. Thompson.
00:42:12Thank you for having us, sir.
00:42:14See anybody you recognize.
00:42:16Looks like half the All-Star team is here.
00:42:18That's because half the All-Star team
00:42:20are my dad's clients.
00:42:22That may be, but tonight,
00:42:24this party's all about you guys.
00:42:26Here's to your continued success and prosperity.
00:42:28I just want to say, sir,
00:42:30what Damon did for me today is...
00:42:32Aw, his heart hasn't been in it since high school.
00:42:34Dad.
00:42:36You just need to get a taste of what it's really like,
00:42:38the level of commitment it takes to be a pro ball player.
00:42:40You'll make me a better agent someday.
00:42:42All I know is I've got to be on that field as much as I can.
00:42:44See? That's it.
00:42:46All you have to want to do is eat, drink, and sleep baseball.
00:42:48I prefer to eat sushi and drink champagne.
00:42:50I've always had more of a proclivity
00:42:52for the business side myself,
00:42:54but I do look forward to working closely
00:42:56with my number-one son.
00:42:58As for you, Early,
00:43:00from what Damon and Taylor have been telling me...
00:43:02My ears are ringing.
00:43:04Why don't you let Taylor show you around?
00:43:06Get yourself something to eat.
00:43:08Yes, sir.
00:43:10Just got an interesting voicemail.
00:43:12That was early.
00:43:16Where did he get cut?
00:43:18Oh, he didn't.
00:43:20Really?
00:43:22Yeah, he's celebrating
00:43:24at some big ritzy mansion right now,
00:43:26and he's gonna be playing
00:43:28for the big league scouts at the end of the month.
00:43:30Good.
00:43:32So impressive.
00:43:34I'm happy for him.
00:43:36Really, I am.
00:43:38But I know it's a long way to go
00:43:40before he signs any pro ball contracts, that's all.
00:43:42All he ever wants is for you to be behind him.
00:43:44Don't you think I want to?
00:43:46I think if you did, you would.
00:43:48Marlene, you just don't get it.
00:43:50But this holds up high like this.
00:43:56He is stepping into a world
00:43:58where they chew you up
00:44:00and they spit you out like you're nothing.
00:44:02And this is how I think he's really gonna get hurt.
00:44:04I'm not talking about his shoulder anymore.
00:44:06I don't know.
00:44:08Ooh, rabbit food.
00:44:10I was thinking the same thing.
00:44:12Here, try this.
00:44:14Little protein blast.
00:44:16Open up.
00:44:18Mmm.
00:44:20Can I tell you something?
00:44:22Mm-hmm.
00:44:24I have big plans for you.
00:44:26I don't know the first thing
00:44:28about any of this stuff,
00:44:30but I'm gonna tell you
00:44:32what I'm gonna do.
00:44:34I don't know the first thing about any of this stuff.
00:44:36What stuff?
00:44:38The business, the money, the deals,
00:44:40anything that happens off the field.
00:44:42That's why I'm here.
00:44:46Better not let Blake Arlo get to you.
00:44:48When you get to the bigs,
00:44:50he's gonna be there waiting for you.
00:44:54You do realize I just almost got cut, right?
00:44:56The coach was just spooked by your injury.
00:44:58But you're young.
00:45:00I've seen players come back from way worse
00:45:02and go on to have lucrative careers.
00:45:04The sky's the limit
00:45:06for what we could do together early, Lindstrom.
00:45:26Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm.
00:45:28Mm-hmm.
00:45:30Mm-hmm.
00:45:32Mm-hmm.
00:45:58Uh, guys,
00:46:00can you give us a minute?
00:46:02Take a break. Yeah.
00:46:14What's this?
00:46:16I was gonna tell you.
00:46:18Tell me what?
00:46:20It's my menu.
00:46:22For my restaurant.
00:46:24What? Restaurant?
00:46:28What are you talking about?
00:46:30I rented some space,
00:46:32and I purchased some equipment.
00:46:34And I got some investors on board,
00:46:36and I plan to open sometime next month.
00:46:38How could you just go out
00:46:40and do something like this without a word?
00:46:42I tried.
00:46:46I tried so many times, Papa.
00:46:50And all I ever got from you was,
00:46:52you're not ready.
00:46:54Because I'm right. You're not.
00:46:56You have a lawyer?
00:46:58What have you signed? I know what I'm doing.
00:47:00Believe it or not,
00:47:02I can actually do something on my own
00:47:04without you hovering over my shoulder.
00:47:06You betrayed me.
00:47:26Yes! Way to go, farm boy.
00:47:44Oh, I got it here.
00:47:54I'll go get the rest.
00:48:24Thanks for all your hard work, Curly.
00:48:26It's been a real pleasure having you here.
00:48:28Thanks, Chef Arrigo.
00:48:30Have a good night.
00:48:42Everything okay?
00:48:54My father...
00:48:56He...
00:48:58Hey.
00:49:00Hey, it's okay.
00:49:02It's not.
00:49:06It's okay.
00:49:08He hates me.
00:49:18I've never seen him upset like that before.
00:49:20Hey, have some faith, okay?
00:49:22He'll come around.
00:49:24It's just gonna take him some time, that's all.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:30I'm gonna finish up, all right?
00:49:36I don't know where you get all this energy from.
00:49:38I didn't have much left in the tank
00:49:40when camp got out today,
00:49:42but I found some more energy
00:49:44when I thought about coming here and seeing you.
00:49:46Forget the broom.
00:49:48If you have some more energy,
00:49:50let's put it to better use.
00:49:52Come on.
00:50:10Um...
00:50:12I am not a dancer.
00:50:14I am not a dancer.
00:50:16Everyone can dance.
00:50:18No, no, no, not this guy.
00:50:22You're athletic. You can do it.
00:50:24Just relax.
00:50:28See?
00:50:30Okay.
00:50:32All right.
00:50:34Okay.
00:50:36I'm sorry.
00:50:38I am awful at this.
00:50:41It's a normal slow dance that I can do.
00:50:44Oh.
00:50:46Can you show me some moves?
00:50:48I wouldn't go that far.
00:51:10All right.
00:51:41Two bags.
00:51:46And one bag each.
00:51:51You got it, boss.
00:51:57You're an expert now.
00:51:59I had the best teacher.
00:52:01Kind of cute, too.
00:52:05Maybe one day I can show you
00:52:07how to rope a steer at a curveball.
00:52:09Maybe the steer, but no baseball.
00:52:11You got to keep an open mind.
00:52:13You ever go see your brother play?
00:52:15Are you kidding me?
00:52:17My dad used to make me go to every single one
00:52:19of his games growing up.
00:52:21I got so burnt out.
00:52:23Well, maybe one day you can come see me play.
00:52:25If you're lucky.
00:52:35Postcard for your parents?
00:52:37Yeah.
00:52:39I'd like to ask him one more time
00:52:41if I might come out for the big game.
00:52:43Then why don't you?
00:52:45Doesn't ever happen.
00:52:47My daddy's just...
00:52:49This one.
00:52:51Right here.
00:52:53That's my city.
00:53:03Thanks.
00:53:05You got it.
00:53:19You all right?
00:53:21Yeah, I just, um...
00:53:23What?
00:53:25I just feel lucky, that's all.
00:53:35Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:53:37You're still whipping it
00:53:39like you're throwing from the hole and short.
00:53:41I mean, there's a reason I moved you to second.
00:53:43I thought it was just because
00:53:45camp was loaded with shortstops.
00:53:47You got a better chance of making it to second.
00:53:49That's where you can maximize your potential.
00:53:51So you think I have potential?
00:53:53Not really.
00:53:55I...
00:53:57Coach, I, uh...
00:53:59I really appreciate you doing this for me.
00:54:01All I'm asking is
00:54:03Oh.
00:54:05All I'm doing is talking.
00:54:13So?
00:54:15What do you think?
00:54:17It's gorgeous.
00:54:19Totally.
00:54:21This is so exciting.
00:54:23I'm thinking about putting, like,
00:54:25five tables along this wall here.
00:54:27It's gonna be so great, Ari.
00:54:29It really is, but...
00:54:31How's it going with your dad?
00:54:33He won't even look at me.
00:54:37It's getting late.
00:54:39Investors should be here by now.
00:54:41Maybe you should give him a call.
00:54:43Yeah, I'll try again.
00:54:53Hey, it's Arianna.
00:54:55Hey, Arianna.
00:54:57I'm here. Are you guys still coming down today?
00:54:59No, we can't make it.
00:55:01We checked the quarter lease, and it's too risky.
00:55:03What?
00:55:05Yeah, I hope you understand.
00:55:07We really wish you the best.
00:55:09Good luck, okay?
00:55:11Okay, yeah, yeah. No, it's fine.
00:55:13Okay, bye.
00:55:19Hey, what's up?
00:55:23They're out.
00:55:25They're backing out of the deal.
00:55:29They said I was too much of a risk.
00:55:49Ari?
00:55:51Hey.
00:55:53What are you doing here?
00:55:55Can't we see your little brother play like the old times?
00:55:57I just dropped by to see you.
00:55:59Where's Early?
00:56:03You and Mr. Nebraska
00:56:05got a little something-something going on?
00:56:07It's all right.
00:56:09You can tell me.
00:56:11I promise I won't beat him up.
00:56:13Ari.
00:56:15Hey, you okay?
00:56:17I'm fine.
00:56:19Hey, Lindstrom.
00:56:21I've been looking for you.
00:56:23Taylor, hey.
00:56:25We were just doing some extra work in the cages.
00:56:27That's my number one hard-working prospect.
00:56:29Do you work up an appetite?
00:56:31Oh, I'm always hungry.
00:56:33Oh, well, how about I give you a break from the dorm food?
00:56:35Chicken and waffles on me?
00:56:37I'm actually working tonight, so...
00:56:39Working?
00:56:41At Casa Vida, Beto's family's restaurant.
00:56:43Yeah, I'm helping out in the kitchen.
00:56:45That is so adorable.
00:56:47I'm worth more than minimum wage,
00:56:49but, um, I'll take a rain check.
00:56:51Just this once.
00:56:55Don't disappoint me again.
00:57:07Hey!
00:57:09Wait!
00:57:11Wait, Ariana, it's not what you...
00:57:13Hey.
00:57:17Hey.
00:57:37Ariana.
00:57:41Can I talk to you, please?
00:57:43I'm busy.
00:57:45I said I'm busy.
00:57:47It's not what it looked like.
00:57:49I really don't want to talk to you right now.
00:57:57Okay.
00:58:03What are you doing here?
00:58:05I was just trying to talk to Ariana.
00:58:07I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to talk to you.
00:58:09Come on, man.
00:58:11Maybe you better go.
00:58:13What's going on, guys?
00:58:15I was just trying to talk to Ariana for a minute.
00:58:17Yeah, um, early maybe?
00:58:19Now's not a great time.
00:58:21All right, well, then I'll, uh...
00:58:23I'll go start my shift.
00:58:25Better yet, why don't you just take the night off?
00:58:44I don't know what's happening between the two of you,
00:58:47but I...I just...
00:58:49Everything.
00:58:53I really don't want to talk about it, Papa.
00:58:55But I know that...
00:58:57I don't...
00:58:59like to see you sad.
00:59:05It's not just early.
00:59:09Talk to me.
00:59:13¿Qué pasó, mija?
00:59:19My investor's pulled out.
00:59:23Everything is ruined.
00:59:43Hey.
00:59:51Hey, Mom.
00:59:53Hey. I just wanted you to know
00:59:55we got the pretty postcard.
00:59:57Los Angeles is beautiful.
00:59:59Yeah.
01:00:01Everything all right?
01:00:03I messed up, Mom.
01:00:07With someone I care about.
01:00:09I didn't mean to,
01:00:11but I hurt her.
01:00:13So what are you gonna do?
01:00:15I don't know what I can do.
01:00:17Wow, I've never known you to give up on something before.
01:00:21Especially not something you care about.
01:00:23So, any more thoughts
01:00:25about you and Dad coming out here?
01:00:27I could really use you at the game.
01:00:29I know.
01:00:31It's just your father. He's...
01:00:33It's okay.
01:00:35No, you know what? It's not okay,
01:00:37because we really want to come.
01:00:39But, you know, it's hard for him to just
01:00:41up and leave somehow.
01:00:43Yeah, I know, I know. I get it.
01:00:45It's fine, Mom. I love you, Mom.
01:00:47Bye.
01:01:07Nice cut, lover boy.
01:01:09Making this too easy today, redneck.
01:01:37Yeah.
01:01:41Come back anytime, sweetheart.
01:01:47Beto, come on, man.
01:01:49I don't need a ride from you.
01:01:51Will you knock it off and just talk to me?
01:01:53What?
01:01:55There is nothing going on with Taylor and I.
01:01:57Nothing, all right?
01:01:59Whatever, man.
01:02:01You hurt my sister, bro.
01:02:03That can't happen.
01:02:05She's one of the most amazing people I have ever met.
01:02:07I'd never do anything on purpose to hurt her.
01:02:09You know me better than that.
01:02:11Do I?
01:02:13I hope so.
01:02:15And I hope you believe me when I say
01:02:17I truly care about her.
01:02:19All right, all right. I don't need all gooey details.
01:02:21Seriously, man, I gotta find a way to make it up to her.
01:02:27I know my sister.
01:02:29Gotta give her some time.
01:02:35Come on.
01:02:43Well?
01:02:45Well, what?
01:02:49You've been promising me a trip
01:02:51for nine, ten years now.
01:02:53We'll get around to it.
01:02:55And when we do,
01:02:57we won't be going to Los Angeles.
01:02:59He said he needs us.
01:03:01He made it pretty clear when he left here, Marlene,
01:03:03that he didn't want or need anything from me.
01:03:05Oh, my...
01:03:07You are two of the most stubborn men
01:03:09I've ever known in my life.
01:03:13Listen, honey...
01:03:15It really, it breaks my heart.
01:03:17It breaks my heart to see you two at odds like this.
01:03:19I'm sorry. Marlene!
01:03:33I'm sorry.
01:03:51Hey, can you please hear me out?
01:03:53It's my own fault.
01:03:55I should have expected as much.
01:03:57No, Ariana!
01:03:59There's a reason I don't date baseball players.
01:04:01So who was that woman?
01:04:03Just some junior agent.
01:04:05She's been talking about taking me on as her first client.
01:04:07Apparently, she wants something from you in return.
01:04:09Yeah, I guess.
01:04:11Hey, maybe she does, but I don't.
01:04:15I can't do this, really.
01:04:17Not now.
01:04:19This isn't the only thing I have on my plate.
01:04:21What's going on?
01:04:23My investor's back out.
01:04:27I spent all my savings. I maxed out a credit card.
01:04:29We just signed a year's lease to that space.
01:04:33My father was right.
01:04:35And now...
01:04:37He knows?
01:04:39Hey...
01:04:41There's always a way.
01:04:43Not really.
01:04:45Not always.
01:04:59♪
01:05:01♪
01:05:27Chef.
01:05:29I'm glad you're back.
01:05:31Do you have a minute?
01:05:33Sure. Come on in.
01:05:39I know it's probably no secret
01:05:41at this point how I feel about Ariana.
01:05:43I just want to apologize for any part I had
01:05:45in upsetting your daughter.
01:05:47I had no intention of doing so.
01:05:49You and your family have been so good to me, and...
01:05:51I respect that.
01:05:55But I think I'm just as much to blame as anyone else is.
01:05:59She's so much like her mother was.
01:06:03Beto's been easy for me.
01:06:05I mean...
01:06:07What you see is pretty much what you get.
01:06:09But with Addie...
01:06:11It's like...
01:06:13She's always a step ahead of me,
01:06:15except I don't realize it
01:06:17till it's too late.
01:06:19I know it's none of my business,
01:06:21but I think deep down,
01:06:23she just wants to...
01:06:25earn your respect.
01:06:27She has my respect.
01:06:29And I'm sure that's true,
01:06:31but I don't think she'll ever truly know that
01:06:33until she achieves something on her own.
01:06:37Thanks, Chef.
01:06:39Thanks, Chef.
01:07:09♪
01:07:39♪
01:07:49Hey.
01:07:51Hey.
01:07:53How you doing?
01:07:59What's that?
01:08:01It's paella.
01:08:05Mexican paella.
01:08:07I made it
01:08:09using your recipe.
01:08:11And it's delicious.
01:08:15Why? Why would you do that?
01:08:19Because I'm a stubborn man.
01:08:29Yeah.
01:08:31♪
01:08:35Well, based on my
01:08:37over 30 years of professional experience
01:08:39in this,

01:13:13Whoo-hoo!
01:13:15All right!
01:13:17Whoo-hoo!
01:13:19And we're underway.
01:13:21Here's Mark Kocher on the mound for the West.
01:13:23He's a 19-year-old out of Haddon Heights
01:13:25and the rarest of pitchers,
01:13:27a true knuckleballer.
01:13:29Whoo-hoo!
01:13:31Good one!
01:13:33Attaboy. Nice pitch, Pin.
01:13:35Whoo-hoo!
01:13:45And it's a one-hopper to second base.
01:13:47Early Lindstrom makes the catch
01:13:49and throws out the runner at first.
01:13:51One away.
01:13:53Whoo!
01:13:55That's it.
01:13:57Bottom of the second.
01:13:59It will remain scoreless with two men on for the West.
01:14:01Let's go!
01:14:03Come on, Early!
01:14:05Come on, Early!
01:14:07Come on, Early! You got this!
01:14:09You can do it!
01:14:23Here's the wind-up.
01:14:25Early swings behind the fastball.
01:14:27Come on, Early!
01:14:29Come on, Early!
01:14:31Come on, Early!
01:14:33I know you can hit this guy.
01:14:35All right. Find a way.
01:14:39Orlow shakes off the first signal.
01:14:41Takes the second.
01:14:43And...
01:14:45here's the pitch.
01:14:47Nice shot!
01:14:49The center fielder has the ball
01:14:51but runs well for it.
01:14:53And Lindstrom
01:14:55has a stand-up double.
01:14:57Yeah!
01:14:59It's two rebbies, baby!
01:15:01Attaboy. Attaboy.
01:15:05Top of the third,
01:15:07and the West is up 2-0.
01:15:13Ready to go.
01:15:17Runner's going.
01:15:19Here's Beda with the throw to second.
01:15:21And Lindstrom
01:15:23tags him for the out.
01:15:25What a throw!
01:15:31Two-way in the top of the fifth,
01:15:33and Cocher's really let the inning
01:15:35get away from him as Blake Barlow
01:15:37steps up to the plate with the bases loaded.
01:15:43Strike him out!
01:15:47And Barlow really got a hold of that one.
01:15:49And it's out of here!
01:15:51Blake Barlow has ripped a grand slam
01:15:53to put the East on top 4-3.
01:15:57You just don't see pitchers
01:15:59do that every day.
01:16:03Yes, sir, Blake.
01:16:05Yes, sir.
01:16:07Here we are in the bottom of the seventh
01:16:09with the East holding on to a 4-3 lead.
01:16:11Let's go.
01:16:13Whoo! Come on, Hurley!
01:16:15Next up, Hurley Lindstrom
01:16:17with two outs and one man on.
01:16:19This is the kind of pressure cooker
01:16:21that tests a young player's mettle.
01:16:23It's late in the game,
01:16:25and Barlow still looks fresh.
01:16:33Wind up.
01:16:35And Lindstrom really
01:16:37crushed that fastball, and
01:16:39it's gone.
01:16:41We're talking about...
01:16:51Way to go!
01:17:03All right, two more outs.
01:17:05Let's do this, kid. Let's wrap this up.
01:17:07Top of the ninth, and the East is battling
01:17:09to tie this game up with a man at first
01:17:11and to full count for the batter.
01:17:15Lindstrom fielded.
01:17:17It's close with the double play.
01:17:19The game is over!
01:17:33Thank you, everyone, for coming out today,
01:17:35and we'll see you next year.
01:17:49Mrs. Lindstrom?
01:17:51Mr. Lindstrom?
01:17:53I, Coach Willis.
01:17:55Ariana.
01:17:57Well, folks, you got yourself a first-rate young man in there.
01:17:59First-rate ballplayer, first-rate person.
01:18:01It's been a real pleasure coaching him
01:18:03these past six weeks.
01:18:07Um, how is he?
01:18:09Why don't you go on and see him?
01:18:11Honey, what did they say?
01:18:13Um...
01:18:15I think I get an MRI
01:18:17when the swelling goes down,
01:18:19but the trainer said it was pretty clear.
01:18:21The rotator cuff popped again,
01:18:23and, uh, he said the end of the bone
01:18:25tore up the labrum,
01:18:27and there's likely cartilage damage.
01:18:29I don't know.
01:18:31I don't know.
01:18:33I don't know.
01:18:35I don't know.
01:18:37I don't know.
01:18:39And...
01:18:41there's likely cartilage damage, too.
01:18:43What does that mean?
01:18:45He said with surgery and hard work,
01:18:47I'll get use of my arm back.
01:18:49Oh.
01:18:51But...
01:18:53I'm never playing pro ball, so...
01:18:59I should have listened to you, Dad.
01:19:01You were right.
01:19:03I wasn't right about anything, Hurley.
01:19:05You followed your dream.
01:19:07You gave your best shot, boy.
01:19:09You never have to live with any regrets.
01:19:13And I'm very proud of you, son.
01:19:17Mom and I are gonna wait outside, honey.
01:19:21Okay.
01:19:27Well,
01:19:29at least you got to see me play once.
01:19:31You were unbelievable.
01:19:33It's too bad I'll never get on the field again
01:19:35when it counts.
01:19:51Mm-hmm.
01:19:53Sorry, man.
01:19:55Tough luck, bro.
01:19:57That's okay. That's what you have to do to learn,
01:19:59to get better.
01:20:01This is the time.
01:20:03When you're in the bigs,
01:20:05that is not the time to do that.
01:20:07Mm-hmm.
01:20:17Thanks, guys. I'm gonna miss you.
01:20:25Looks like I'm gonna be signing
01:20:27with the Iowa Farmers Association.
01:20:31I'm heading home tonight.
01:20:35Hey, Hurley.
01:20:37It's a tough break, man.
01:20:39It's all right, man. You belong on the baseball field.
01:20:41Yeah. Not on the cards.
01:20:45I'll grab him. Yeah, thank you.
01:20:47All right.
01:20:59All right, coach.
01:21:01Lindstrom.
01:21:03Hey, coach. I just wanted to thank you again
01:21:05for everything you've done for me.
01:21:07Well, you can thank me by sticking around.
01:21:09Sir? I've been sitting on a job offer,
01:21:11head coaching position at the university
01:21:13right here in Los Angeles.
01:21:15Wow. That's a big camp. Congrats.
01:21:17I could use a hitting coach.
01:21:19Pardon?
01:21:21I'd like to join my staff early.
01:21:27You can sleep on it.
01:21:29No reason to rush your decision.
01:21:31I'm sorry, coach.
01:21:33I appreciate the offer, and I'm flattered,
01:21:35but I'm needed back home.
01:21:39Fair enough.
01:21:41Hurley.
01:21:43You've made quite an opportunity here for yourself, son.
01:21:45You need me on the farm. It's okay.
01:21:47I'm okay with it. No.
01:21:49No, you need to do this.
01:21:55We'll be fine.
01:22:13Deal.
01:22:31Hey, Beto.
01:22:33I'm throwing this big party for you.
01:22:35The least you could do is help.
01:22:37I'm busy.
01:22:39It looks like you're texting.
01:22:41I'm busy texting.
01:22:43Enough, you two.
01:22:45Beto, she's right.
01:22:47Why don't you help Nikki set up the snowboarders?
01:22:51Listen, the more the merrier.
01:22:53We're celebrating you, professional baseball player.
01:23:01Have you heard from Hurley?
01:23:03No. Last I knew, he was with his parents.
01:23:05I think he's planning to drive them back to Nebraska.
01:23:07Iowa.
01:23:09When?
01:23:11Not tonight.
01:23:39Dance with me?
