00:00if this is the end of the world...
00:07Crisis?
00:09I need some help, please.
00:11It's my dad.
00:13If you're in danger, I can call the police.
00:15No cops, no cops.
00:17He's been in jail a dozen times, so it doesn't do any good.
00:19So are you going to help or not?
00:21Alright, where you at?
00:26How much did they pay you for this?
00:28Prices, boss. How much?
00:33Nothing, actually. It's voluntary.
00:38So you're not getting paid?
00:40Nope.
00:41You've got some strange extracurricular activities, my friend.
00:45John, you can't blame yourself for what happened.
00:49Some things are just out of our control.
00:54Yeah. Some things are.
00:58You know, we're not the only ones, John. There are others.
01:01PTSD, OCD, ADD.
01:04Intervention is a calling.
01:05I hear it all. I don't give anyone nightmares.
01:09This kid is invisible to everybody.
01:13He's on the fast track to becoming a criminal just like his father.
01:17I don't have time to teach some kid I barely know how to wrestle.
01:20I mean, I've been out of the game for years.
01:22Some streets could benefit from someone who can help him harness his aggression.
01:26Learn to defend himself at the very least.
01:28It could be an opportunity for you both, my friend.
01:32You're John Ames, right?
01:33That's right.
01:34You're the ones coaching that colored boy.
01:37Well, his name is actually Calvin.
01:39You should stick to training your own kind.
01:42What kind is that?
01:43Sports take you as far as your next injury, boy.
01:47This is not personal. I'm just trying to help.
01:51Your respect has just made it personal.
01:55Wrestling is about finding your limit.
01:57You find that pain and you push past it.
02:01Did I ever tell you I wanted you to be like me, boy?
02:04Let's go!
02:05Oh, thank you.
02:06If we're doing this, we're going all the way to state, right?
02:08Wouldn't have happened any other way.
02:09There are rumors about what you're doing for that kid.
02:12And I think it's really great.
02:18I bet that's gonna be him.
02:19You're gonna have to beat this guy.
02:20You're gonna have to wear him down.
02:22It's two minutes, Peter.
02:23I mean, how bad could it be?
02:25For a guy like CJ, two minutes is an eternity.
02:28I've been on autopilot every single night.
02:30You know, I started this because I wanted to understand the pain.
02:34I wanted to see how they were dealing with it.
02:36So maybe it could help me, right?
02:39I heard Jesse's cry on every single call.
02:46I need help.
02:47Can you help me?
02:52Where are you?
02:56You must feel good, right?
02:58Taking all those lives?
03:00Yeah.
03:01Gonna change your mind.
