All language subtitles for Finding Tony 2024-egcp

911, what's your emergency?

Hello, yes, I have an emergency!

I need you to send help
right now! It's my wife!

Sir... sir, what's wrong
with your wife?

She's bleeding!
She's not fucking breathing!

Someone broke in my house!

Okay, what...
What's your address?

455 Hydrangea Lane.

Look, this is Tony Greene,
the basketball player.

I need an ambulance
right now before she dies!

Baby! Aaliyah!

We're on our way, sir.

I need you to stay on the line
with me

so that we can help you.

Tony Greene is retiring
at the height of his career

following his wife being
killed in a home invasion.

We are learning
there were multiple break-ins

around the neighborhood,

but Aaliyah is
the only death being reported.

An unbelievable story
out of Atlanta this evening.

Basketball star Tony Greene
has lost his wife

in a home invasion.

We have breaking news tonight.

Tony Greene discovers
his wife's body

after returning home
from practice.

We're coming to you
live tonight,

and we have just received news
that Aaliyah Greene

was killed in a home invasion.

What'd I tell you?

Good shot.

I taught you
what you know, though.

Uh-huh.

Aye, Will!

Yes.

Where's my money?

Destiny, move!

When you pay me,

Mr. A Chick Can
Never Beat Me On The Court!

Boy, you greedy.

Maybe play better next time.

Hey!

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

Chill, chill, chill, chill,
chill, chill, chill, chill!

Get your girl, Jackson.

Fa sho!

Yo, why you gotta
be so damn hard?

He's tryin' to play me.

- So?
- So what?

You been in how many
fights since junior high?

I don't see how that's relevant.

- You look like you need a hug.
- Stop! Oh, Jackson!

Get off of me! Stop!

Gross!

Where's Charity?

She at her grandmother house.

She didn't wanna watch you play?

I mean...

All good.

Destiny, where are you?

Yeah, I'm coming, Kayley.

I said I'm coming!

You sound like Sophia!

- Hi, pumpkin.
- Hi!

What you workin' on?

What'd I tell you
about bein' late?

It won't happen anymore.

That's what you said last night.

Come here.

Don't walk away from me
when I'm talkin' to you!

Destiny,
this came for you earlier.

What?

Nothing.

Can we just do this tomorrow?

It's due Friday.

And it's only Sunday.

Okay, but she gave us
this assignment,

like, three weeks ago.

Okay, fine.

Got your favorite!

- You want some?
- Let's see.

You excited?
I got your favorite!

I'm gonna clean up, 'kay?

Hmm, it's yummy! It's yummy!

- Want some?
- You don't want it?

- You can try...
- Oh, I can have some?

Yeah.

You gonna feed it to me?

- Yeah.
- Mmm. Mmm!

Mmm, it's so good!

Oh, it's so good!

So, Tony,
what's the big announcement?

Due to the circumstances

that are happening
in my personal life,

effective immediately,
I will be retiring

from the game of basketball.

Could this be a temporary thing?

And as the season gets closer,
you find some coping mechanisms

and you're able to get back
out there?

Anything's possible, I suppose.

But right now I've...

I'm havin' a hard time

seein' the light
at the end of the tunnel.

Hello.

Hey, what's up, Terrence?

Huh, just doin' what I do.

About to have breakfast.

Man, you've been asking me
about this

for the last five years, man.

The answer hasn't changed.

Still no.

Terrence, I chose not to
have children for a reason, man.

Oh, come on, man,
don't do that to me.

Of course we're friends.

Hey, you know what, Terrence?
I got...

T, I gotta...

Terren...

Okay, I want you to complete
questions one through 20,

and whatever you don't finish,

you'll need to take home
as homework.

Okay?

And what we're learning now,
you guys, is gonna serve

as the base for everything else
that we do this semester.

Okay?

So, really important
that you understand.

All right?

Destiny,

I know these concepts
can be a little bit difficult,

but I really need you to try
and work...

What concept?

The chemical bonds.

Whether that's covalent,
polar covalent.

What's difficult about that?

The electronegativity determines
the polarity of the bond.

Exactly. So do your work.

Destiny, it's important
that you practice.

I already know
how to do it, Ms. Hammond.

Class is dismissed.

You guys do not forget
to do your problems by tomorrow,

okay?

You need to chill out.

What?

You know what?

Bein' so freakin' aggressive
all the time.

Kayley, shut up.

Don't tell me to shut up.

You're the one
with attitude problem.

So why are you my friend then?

And your only friend at that.

Yo, I'd rather have no friends
than fake ones.

Hey, look,
basketball tryouts are soon.

And?

And you should try out with me.

I'd rather not.

You're literally
the best player that I know!

Which is why
I'm not playing for a team

that doesn't even have a coach.

We'll, get a coach.

And a losing record.

Come on, don't be like that.

Be like what?

Look, Kayley,
if you wanna try out,

I will support you.

But that's all I'm gonna do.
All right?

Mm, mm-hmm.

Did you at least remember
your English book today?

Mm. It's all right here.

Destiny, you can't fail
your classes.

Okay, Mom.

Okay, well, don't forget we have
an advisor's meeting tomorrow.

Ugh.

Care to explain?

Explain what?

Destiny, you're failing.

I'll get my grades up.

When?

The semester be over before
you know it,

and you can't afford to be
on academic probation.

I'll get my grades up.

You cannot lose your grant,
Destiny.

I'm not gonna fail my classes.
Okay?

Okay.

Well, look,
when is the last time you spoke

to your foster mother?

I have no reason to talk to her.

Is anything bothering you?

What's with all the questions?

I mean, Destiny, I care for you.

I just wanna see you be great.

That's all.

Stop caring.

I'll be fine, Dr. Daniel.

Are we done?

Yeah, we're done.

Hey. It's me.

Huh? Hey, man. What's up?

You thought any more
about our conversation?

Yeah, and you know what,
I thought about it

'cause you're my buddy,
and I love you, man.

And so I was thinkin' about it,
and I was like,

"Nah."

I can pay you what you're worth.

Nah, it's the girls' team,
though, man.

I don't wanna coach
with the girls, man.

Maybe for the boys' team,
that'd be, uh, different, but...

Look, you know we have
Coach Brown under contract, man.

I can't move him.

But the girls, the girls' team...

Nah, I'm not feelin' it.

Tony.

Terrence.

Hear me out, bro.

You know Dr. Ellis went
to school with me, right?

Dr. Ellis?

Dr. Ellis, the judge on my case?

Yes.

Hmm. Okay.

Look, I... I could probably
convince him

to reduce your probation
if you coach the team.

Huh? How's that?

We're classmates,

and he's a huge donor
to the junior college.

If he knows that you're coachin'
our girls

and bringin' some
positive attention

to the school,

I bet my bottom dollar
he would reduce your sentence.

I don't know, man.

Tony, do you really wanna spend
the next four years of your life

on probation for a DUI?

Of course not, man.
That's just silly.

Think about it, man.

Aaliyah would not wanna
see you livin' like this.

That's fucked up, man.

Why you gotta
bring Aaliyah into it?

Think about it.

So you've been sober now for...

Uh, just about six months, man.

Yeah.

How you feelin'?

Uh, man, I feel great.

I have my days,
but mind is clearer,

game is definitely better.

I'm proud of you.

It's not killin' me with
these women out here either,

I tell you that.

But, I mean,
they don't all mean you well.

Yeah, maybe not,
but they do me well.

You know?

What about Aaliyah?

Aaliyah's Aaliyah, you know?

She's brainiac,

finishin' her Master's,
you know?

So we can't really be
on the same page,

but, you know, she's Aaliyah.

I've known her forever.

We'll see.

Where's our coach?

Do we even have a coach?

I'm about to leave.

Practice was supposed
to start 20 minutes ago.

Come on, don't do that.

Sorry I'm late.

All good.

No one wants you here anyways.

Shut up, Charity.

Oh!

Ugh, what?

Is that...

Tony Greene?

What's he doing here?

I think
he might be the new coach.

No way. How'd we get him?

For real.

Hi, girls.

Ladies.

Hi, ladies.

So you're our coach?

I am, and Ms. Gloria here
is my assistant.

Anybody got a problem with that?

No, I just...

She just wants to know
how we got you, that's all.

Name, position,
and why you're here.

Why we're here?

Yes, why are you here?

You wanna play junior
college basketball, correct?

Nobody just wants to play
junior college basketball,

so that means either your grades
or your game

are keepin' you from bein'
at the D1 level.

So which is it?

My name is Charity Goodis,
and I play guard.

I just need this program
to get my grades up.

You any good?

As good as they come.

She needs to work
on her game, Coach.

That's the real reason
why she's here.

How about you, spokesperson?

Alyssa Tucker, center,
and I need to get my grades up

so I can get
into my dream school.

Which is?

UConn, of course.

Sky Jones, I play forward,

and I need to work
on my handles.

Uh, Ruth, sir. Ruth Davis.
Forward.

And, um, I just wanted to see
if I could make the team.

Uh, I'm, uh, Kayley Daniels.

Kayley!

One second, girls.

Excuse me, young lady.

It's Destiny.

Okay, Destiny, I assume you're
not tryin' out with us today.

Nope.

All right, I'm gonna
need you to leave.

Why?

Because my tryouts
and practices are closed.

Okay, so I can't just stay
and support a friend?

No, you can't.

Please don't make me ask you
to leave again.

Thank you.

All right, girls, we're gonna
start with some conditioning.

See what kind of
shape you guys are in.

Uh...

Have fun.

All right ladies, to the line.

Sleep?

No.

Just resting my eyes.

Right.

Hmm.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

Can we get some food?

I'm hungry.

Hey, don't let Charity
get to you.

How was it?

It was hard.

Mm.

Coach is actually really good.

You should come tomorrow.

So I can get kicked out again?

No. To actually try out.

He wouldn't let me.

Mm-mm.

I'm telling you.

Excuse me, young lady.

What does he want?

I don't know. Go see.

I told you it's Destiny.

Where'd you learn
to shoot like that?

Taught myself.

You taught yourself?

Yeah.

You always act like this?

Like what?

With all this attitude?

When people are rude to me?
Yeah.

I was rude to you? How?

You threw me out.

Because my practices are closed
and you were not participating.

Listen, Destiny,
I know talent when I see it...

and you got it.

So if you're interested
in tryin' out,

it'll be all week.

Thanks, but no thanks.

You goin' to a four-year school
after this?

Probably not.

Why not?

Because the grant money
I'm getting

is only for junior college.

Well, you know they
have scholarships in D1.

Not smart enough.

Basketball scholarships.

Not good enough.

The confidence in your shot
tells me something different.

I'm sure your parents
would appreciate it

if you got a scholarship.

Think about it.

Hello. Yeah.

Take the trash out.

Can I just do it tomorrow?

I have a lot of homework.

Since when do you do homework?

I can't wait to leave
this place.

And go where exactly?

Anywhere but here.

What?

And I tried to give you
a decent life,

but you'll still just end up
like your mother.

Excuse me?

With a child
you can't take care of,

Leavin' someone like me
to do it for you.

You think you take care of me?

You bring this on yourself,
Destiny!

Sophia!

Get off of me!

Destiny!

Come on.

Hey, you're short.

I got you.
Next week, I promise.

Yeah, but that's what you said
last week.

Quez, I sw...

Alex, I like you. I really do.

But I can't have you working
for me coming back

with half my money.

I just need some time.

I just need... like,
just give me one more week.

Yeah, but time ain't
gonna get this money to me.

Quez, I swear.

Everything okay over here?

We're good.

Yeah, we good, man.

Look, just give me
till next week.

Please, I promise.

Okay.

But that's all I'm giving you.

Okay, tomorrow we're going to
continue our discussion

on the types
of chemical reactions.

Does anybody have any questions?

No!

Destiny?

Sorry, Ms. Hammond.
I was asking her a question.

Okay, class,
you're free to leave.

Why not just try out?

I don't wanna do it, Kayley.

Okay, it's cool playing
at the park with the guys,

but I haven't
played organized ball

since, like, the seventh grade.

Yeah, yeah,
and you were on varsity.

Until I got kicked off the team.

Well, you shouldn't have
been fighting so much.

Hmm.

You're good, Destiny.

God, you sound just like him.

I'm serious!

And he wasn't lying about you
getting a scholarship either.

Look, this could be your chance
to get out of this town

and make something of yourself.

You think so?

Yes!

But when opportunity knocks,
you have to get up off your butt

and go answer!

All right.

All right, what?

God, you
and your motivational quotes.

I will try out for the team
if you just shut up about it.

This is gonna be so much fun!

Wait.

All right, this is
our final evaluation, ladies.

It's your last chance to show us
why you should be on this team.

The women's basketball team here
at Lincoln Community College

has not made a habit
of winning championships,

but we plan to change that
with some of you this year.

Why are you late?

Oh, uh, I, um...

I... I ha... um...

You what?

I had to do something.

Something more important than
bein' in my practice on time?

No! No, sir.

Um, I just, uh... uh, well...

Bleachers.

- Now!
- Chill, Coach!

She went to get
a freakin' tampon.

Dang,
are you on your period, too?

Jesus.

To the line, ladies.

You, too, Ruth.

Me? Yeah, okay!

Ruth.

Okay, ladies,
we're gonna be playing

a few games of three-on-three.

And we'll be picking the teams.

First team,
Charity, Sky, Kayley.

Second team,
Alyssa, Ruth, Destiny.

All right, let's make it happen,
ladies.

All right, that's gonna do it
for today, ladies.

I will have the team posted
by tomorrow.

Thank you very much for all
your hard work, all your hustle.

Truly appreciate it.

Good luck.

What?

You act like we didn't win.

We?

Kayley!

Yeah, coming.

What, Kayley?

What?

You're just kind of a ball hog.

I had to show him my skills!

Okay.

I think this is our team.

No, I don't think so.

You got any plans this weekend?

My cousin's getting married
tomorrow.

Oh! So, a wedding!

Yeah.

All right, well,
have fun out there.

Be safe.

I'll see you Monday.

See you Monday, Coach.

Don't stay here all weekend.

Get out of here.

See ya.

I gotta admit I shed a tear
when she came down the aisle.

Really?

What were you thinking?

Uh...

a lot of things, honestly,

but mostly that this was
the happiest

I've ever been.

You drink any?

No. No, not a drop.

You didn't put my name
on the roster!

Nope.

Why not?

'Cause you didn't make the team.

Yeah, I know, I can read.
I'm asking you why.

Because there is no I in team.

Yeah?

Kobe said there's a me
up in that motherfu...

Hey.

You got a lot of nerve
comparing yourself to that man.

You really think this team
can't win without you on it?

Hey.

You said it, I didn't.

Goodbye, Destiny.

Man, screw you!

Thank you.

How's life outside
the gym going for you?

It's going good.

It's going really well.

Um, Aaliyah and I
got back together, which is...

I knew you two would.

What? How'd you know?

'Cause, Tony,
that's your soulmate.

Nobody's gonna play me.

What are you doing here?

You gonna do some painting?

You gonna do some drinking?

You know, vandalism's illegal.

Says the man
who's drunk on school grounds.

Let me take a wild guess,
you're headed to my office.

You know,
you're not the only one

who didn't make the team,
Destiny.

Yeah, but I'm the best one
who tried out.

How you gonna ask me
to try out for a team

and then not let me on it?

Key word. Try out.

I didn't offer you
a free spot on the team.

Okay, maybe not.

But you can't tell me I
wasn't the best girl out there.

Skills-wise, probably so.

But I don't have any room
on my team for a selfish player.

Selfish?

You don't know anything
about me.

I don't need to know anything
about you.

I see how you play.

How do I play?

Like you're the only girl
on the floor.

And if you had a better attitude
about it, I might reconsider,

but you don't, so I can't.

What do I gotta do
to be on the team, man?

You gotta be a team player.

I can do that.

Ah. Hard girl got a soft spot.

It's not funny.

I thought about what you said.

I think I can get
into a real good school

with ball.

Well, if you think that,
why is it taking you till now

to be serious about it?

I don't know!

I guess I just never
thought about ball like that.

Like what?

Getting me a better life.

Please.

- Destiny.
- Coach!

You were an All-Star, right?

Several times.

Okay.

So if I can beat you
in a game of one-on-one,

then it shows that I deserve
to be on the team.

Okay, look.

First of all, come on,
you're not beating me.

And second of all, your game is
not the issue I have with you.

Check.

Make it, take it. Play defense.

All right, it's one-one.

Ones and twos?

Yeah, but you were in front
of the three-point line.

- Don't play me.
- All right, two-one, me.

Got you.

Got her!

All right, here we go,
game point.

That's game.

Don't make me regret it.

Team player!

No!

I don't think the girls
are feelin' me that much.

They are. It's just Charity.

So how's the search
for your mom going?

Did you stop looking?

No.

But I can't find shit.

You know that envelope
you gave me the other night?

Hmm.

Zero matches.

Mm.

We'll just give it some time.

Would you just tell him
that you want him already?

I don't.

So what do you think you'll do
if you find her?

Ask her why she left.

I was a baby.

How bad could I have been,
right?

It's not your fault, Destiny.

So whose fault is it
my foster mom's an asshole?

Also not your fault?

Can I be honest with you?

Hmm.

You are one of the smartest
and most talented people

that I've ever met.

But?

But...

you just have this attitude

like the world owes you
something.

No, I don't, Kayley.

Yeah, you kinda do.

I'm leaving.

Why?

Because I'm tellin' you
the truth?

I was molested, Destiny.

Yeah, you told me.

Then my dad left us
in high school.

And I have to struggle
with dyslexia every day

while I watch you throw
your freaking intelligence away?

Look, so stop.

There's someone out there who
would kill to have your life.

You're right.

Just like my pastor says,

"I was mad
because I didn't have shoes,

until I met a man
who didn't have feet."

That's deep.

Yeah, and I heard
Jackson goes deeper.

You're disgusting.

Stop. Stop throwin' food!

Hey, good practice.

Good practice.

Yeah, Coach
is way too serious for me.

I mean, does the man even smile?

I mean, he has
been through a lot.

His wife was murdered, you guys.

That's why he retired.

Well, I heard he's an alcoholic.

I probably would be too
if my wife was murdered.

Okay, so what happened?

Apparently he came home late.

His house had been robbed.

He found his wife
dropped dead on the floor.

Blood was everywhere.

It was terrible.

Damn.

It says here the attack
was random.

Two guys had broken into other
houses in the neighborhood,

but Tony's wife just
happened to be home.

Mm.

She was pregnant, too.

Mm.

What?

That's wild.

Did they go to jail?

Mm, yeah.

Looks like
they eventually caught him.

Well, let me see real quick.

It says here he got arrested
for a DUI last year.

Hey, what are we, like,
community service or something?

Oh, man.

Now, that's bullshit.

Hey. Hey.

- Good job today, champ.
- Ow!

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

What happened?

Coach, you know
I can be clumsy sometimes.

Hey, didn't you say you were
goin' to see your foster mother

this weekend?

I didn't go see her.

I had to pick up some paperwork
at the house.

Hmm.

And what happened with that?

You gonna tell me why
you were drinking in the gym?

I have some personal issues
that I'm working through.

- We're gonna leave it at that.
- Fine.

Who hit you?

Nobody.

Okay.

She didn't hit me.

She didn't.

Look, Coach,
I gotta be honest with you.

Some of the girls found out
about your DUI

and they're not impressed.

They think you're
doing this for community service

and you don't wanna be here.

Hmm.

I wanna be here, Destiny.

All right?

Trust me.

Thank you.

Mr. Parks. Hi.

Alex! Come on.

Oh, my God.

Oh, and that little one!

Man, that little girl!

Wow.

I always say, "That Alex is
gonna be a great mom."

I'm so happy to see you.

So how is she?

They took her.

Who took her?

Child services.

You can stay here
if you need to.

As long as you need to.

All right,
everybody take a knee.

I like it.

I like it.

Somebody tell me
what we got tomorrow?

We play our first game.

Correction!

We win our first game.

Washington Prep
isn't that great.

If you guys play
like you practiced today,

we should have no trouble.

Coach is right.

If you play like we practiced,
you'll be good.

We do not underestimate
competition.

We do not play down
to their level.

We play our game. Right?

All right. Everybody up.

UConn, take 'em out.

Team on three. Family on six.

One, two, three!

Team!

ALYSSA Four, five, six!

Family! WooH!

Need any help?

No. No, I'm good. Thanks.

I said you didn't have to help.

I know.

I literally have
nothing else to do.

My homework's done,

Kayley has a group study thing,

and Jackson's going
to the movies with Charity.

Uh-huh. Sound upset about that.

I'm not.

All right.

I do have a question.

Shoot.

Why do you and Charity
hate each other so much?

I don't hate her. She hates me.

Okay.

Okay, me, Kayley, Jackson,
and Charity all

went to the same high school
together,

if you didn't know.

Junior year,

Charity finds herself
liking Jackson.

Wants him to ask her
to the prom.

He asked me instead.

Okay, yeah, that's...
That's a lot.

I'm sorry I asked.

She's basically just dating him
to piss me off, honestly.

Okay.

Because Jackson and I
didn't really work out.

We're not right for each other.

My turn.

Your turn?

Mm-hmm. To ask you a question.

Okay, shoot.

You ever gonna tell me
why you were in the gym

drinking crazy that one night?

Leave it alone.

You were drinking a lot, Coach.

Look, my life sucks, too. Just...

Your life does not suck,
Destiny.

Stop.

Okay.

I have no parents.
My foster mom hates me.

- And I mean really hates me.
- Stop.

Can you change that?

- No.
- Then stop talkin' about it.

Focus your attention
on something you can control.

All right?

Look, you can't
change your beginning.

But you sure as hell can
change your ending

and give yourself a better life.

Come on, champ.

Wow.

You're, like,
the wisest alcoholic

I've ever met in my life.

I'm not an alcoholic.

May bad.

Good.

Come on, let's go.

Watch the screen,
watch the screen!

Screen!

Time out, time out!

Time out!

What are we doing?

I don't know.

Hey, hey, hey, knock it off!

Hey, hey!

We're not doing
anything we practiced!

You guys are playing
selfish basketball!

Team!

Now stop bickering
with each other

and play together!

You're not calling out screens.

You're not playing defense.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

You guys are playing down
to their level!

I told you not to do that!

Go!

Come on!

We are trying to win, not you.

Play together, or lose!

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go!

Just pass the ball!

Pass the ball!

Sit down. Now.

This is the same crap you guys
pulled at the game last night.

What the hell is goin' on here?

Basketball is a team sport.

I don't know why
I gotta keep telling you that.

Now, if you want me to
coach you, I will coach you.

If you wanna do your own thing,
I got no reason to be here.

No celebration drinks
last night, huh?

It's Destiny's fault
we lost in the first place.

Man, shut up.

No, you shut up.

- Hoe.
- Hoe?

You heard me.

Kayley,
you better get your girl.

Charity, you better
make your shots.

Everybody misses shots, Destiny!

That doesn't mean
you turn into a one-woman show!

I was tryin' to win!

And look what I got you.

I would have gotten further
if you and Sky

hadn't kept the ball from me.

- Yo.
- You sound ridiculous.

You sound jealous.

Jealous of who?

Jealous of you?

Girl, your own mama
don't even want you.

What makes you think
I wanna be bothered?

Fuck.

Hey, hey, hey!

Stop, stop!

Aye, chill!

Forget you guys!

I don't need this bullshit!

Destiny. Des...

I got it. Destiny!

Like, you need to apologize.

For what?

Because you took that too far.

Like, "Your own mom
doesn't even want you."

Are you serious?

Charity, I know you're adopted.

Yeah.

So don't take your issues out
on my friend.

I wonder why Coach
wanted to meet us here.

Probably because of
how bad we've been playing.

My free throw
have been so off lately.

What are you looking at?

Nothing pretty.

I mean on the goal.
What are you looking at?

The rim.

What part?

I don't know. The front?

Look at the back.

I'm just tryin' to win.

Look, I'm sorry about
what I said about your mom...

Just do what I told you
and shoot, aight?

Aight?

- Hey, Coach.
- Hey, Coach.

Hey, ladies.

What's up, Coach?

You guys having fun?

Yep.

Good. Let's talk.

It's come to my attention
that some of you

may have become aware
of my transgressions.

Yes, I did get a DUI last year.

And yeah, I have been struggling

with some mental health issues.

My wife was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

And I lost her.

And I lost my love for the game.

And I pretty much lost
everything.

Last year on the night

that was supposed to be
our anniversary,

I got in my car after having
had too much to drink.

Fortunately, nobody got hurt,

but I did get probation.

Full disclosure.

I took this job hoping

that it would help
with my appeal.

Because the judge on my case
is a big donor to the school.

So there's that.

But what I didn't expect

was that I was
gonna love this job.

What I didn't expect...

Is that I was gonna love
working with you guys.

And that I was going to love
the opportunity

to work towards a championship
again.

So despite what you may think
of my mistakes,

don't think for a second
that I take any of this

for granted.

Don't think for a second
that I am not fully committed

to what's happening here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

And we are going to have
a winning season.

Have fun, ladies.

Thanks, Coach.

All right, you're okay.

Hey! Look at the back.

You're all right, come on.

Here we go. Come on!

Let's go, team.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on!

Come on, girls.

We're right where we wanna be,
all right?

Destiny, you gotta
make this three

to tie the game, all right?

Ruth,
you're gonna take it up top,

swing it around to Destiny.

Hit the shot, all right?

Let's go. Let's make it happen.

Fuck!

It's okay, Des...

Don't worry about it, Destiny.

You'll get it next time.

Yeah, it's not your fault, okay?

Stop crying.

Y'all, we can still
make the playoffs

and go to the championship.

We just gotta
get our shit together, yo!

So, Destiny, stop crying.

But don't stop shooting.

All right?

Let's get it. Next play.

Lincoln on me! Lincoln on three!

One, two, three!

Lincoln!

Come on, good work, good work.

The more you sweat in practice,
the less you bleed in war!

Good job, ladies. Good job.

Hard till the end.

Hard till the final whistle.

Who wants it
in the fourth quarter?

- Who wants it? Let's go!
- Stay low!

Work, work, work, work!

All right, ladies. 15 seconds.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Play the game hard.

Play the game with pride.

Pride stands for
personal responsibility

in daily endeavor.

Take personal responsibility
in what you do every day.

Take personal responsibility
in what you are doing

to make your team better.

Personal responsibility
in daily endeavor.

That's Bulldog pride, ladies.

That's what's gonna
win us this championship.

Family!

I just don't get
why service hours

have to be a school requirement.

Because you wouldn't do it
otherwise.

She ain't lyin'.

We have to come back here
whenever we can.

For real, though.

It really put life
in perspective.

Yeah, you're telling me.

Y'all know where I'm supposed
to put these cans?

Uh, back in the pantry.

I'll take it.

That's okay. I got you, boo.

Okay.

Knock, knock.

Hey, come on in.

So...

what's the strategy
for the game?

Well, just keep doin' what
we've been doin' all year.

We should be good.

True. True.

You know, I gotta tell you,

you been a pleasant surprise
for me this year.

Look at you, grades up,
smiling more,

gettin' along
with your teammates.

See what happens
when you're unselfish.

Uh-huh?

Uh-huh.

I like the change
I've seen in you.

No.

I like the change
I'm seeing in you.

Change in me?
What are you talkin' about?

You're happier. More patient.

You're drinking water.

Touché.

Look, I don't know if you'll
ever get married again,

but you'd be a great dad.

Wow. Thank you.

Ugh, don't let it
get to your head.

I have to go to my dorm
before my next class,

so I'll just see you
at practice?

Yeah, yeah.

I'll see you there.

I think I look forward
to most is bein' a dad.

Wow. Um...

Well, have you and Aliyah
been trying?

We have. Um...

I'm not sure, what...
What the deal is,

but it's been...
It's been tough, and...

But her doctors
started to suggest IVF.

- Okay.
- So, you know.

How do you feel about that?

Uh, I'm cool with it.

Um, I mean, honestly,
whatever it takes.

Hello, Mr. Greene.

My name is Nancy.

I work at
the Liberty Medical Hospital.

I have Destiny here,
who has you listed

as emergency contact
in her phone.

She was
in a bad car accident tonight.

If you could call me
back at 912-369-94...

Doctor Thomas, dial 102, please.

Doctor McLawrence,
please dial 118.

Doctor Kravitz, we have
a visitor in the main lobby.

Doctor Kravitz, we have
a visitor in the main lobby

Destiny?

- Coach.
- Hey, hey...

Coach!

- We've been calling you!
- Yeah, I know. What happened?

I let her borrow my car
to get some food,

and then someone hit her
head on.

Where is she?

She's in her room,
but she won't let us see her.

Who won't let you see her?

Her foster mom.

Uh, hey, are you... you Sophia?

Yes, and who might you be?

- Uh, I'm Tony Greene.
- I'm Destiny's basketball coach.

Um, can I see her?

She's asleep.

- Sophia?
- Yes?

I wanna make sure she's okay.

She's fine.

She's in a hospital bed
at 2:00 in the mornin'.

How fine can she be?

Um, Sophia, um, I've seen
the bruises, okay?

I don't know
what you're talkin' about.

Okay.

Well, I'm sure the police will
have no trouble findin' out.

You know, there's a reason
that she's got me

as her emergency contact
and not you.

Pretty sure we both know
what that reason is.

So how about you just
take me back to see her?

Come on.

Hey, champ.

What's the other guy look like?

No, stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop.

I'm gonna need to speak with
Destiny's guardian alone

for a few minutes, please.

Okay.

I'll be right outside, okay?

As you know,
Destiny's lost a lot of blood.

She has bruising around
her midsection

due to internal bleeding.

We wanna watch her for now.

But if she doesn't
show steady improvement,

I wanna schedule an
exploratory laparotomy.

A what?

Basically, we make an incision,

open up her abdomen

to see if there's anything
going on in there

that requires more action.

And when will you know
if she needs that?

We wanna watch
for improvement first.

So we'll see.

We don't wanna do any surgery
unless we have to.

Basically, we'll take it
hour by hour, day by day.

If we do have to open her up,

it's hard to say
what we might find.

Destiny has
a very rare blood type.

So if she requires more blood
or maybe an organ...

An organ?

I'm just playing a huge
what-if game here, ma'am.

I want you to be aware
of all the possibilities.

But if she does require blood,

then we want to use
her actual blood type.

We do have some here
in the bank.

But if you know of anyone
who might be a match...

I can't say that I do.

Okay, then, uh,
I'll get with my staff

and have them look into it.

Be back in a few hours.

Oh, hang on.

FYI, we don't have
any more blood vials.

Guess I'll give some, too.

Hi.

Hi.

It's almost done.

Hey, Doc. How you doing?

Can I speak with you
for a minute, Mr. Greene?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

So how'd the testing go?

Unfortunately, none of the girls
were a match.

- Wow, none?
- None.

Mm. What about Jackson?

No.

No?

Well...

How about me?

Well, that's the reason
I wanted to talk to you.

What is your relationship
with Destiny again?

Uh, we... we established that.

I'm her basketball coach.

Hmm.

And how long have you known her?

About the few months
I've been coachin' her.

And that's the only reason
you're here?

Should there be
another reason I'm here?

That's enough, isn't it?

We have run these blood tests
over and over.

There's something
we can't quite explain,

and maybe you can help us with.

Okay.

O... okay, this can't be right.

Have...

Have you said anything
to anyone about this?

No. Of course not.

Okay, good. Please don't.

And you hear all of this about
everything happens for a reason,

God does everything for,

you know, for a purpose,

all in His plan.

What could be this plan?

Why would He take her
from me now?

- This is the woman...
- I know, I know.

He sent me
to have children with,

to marry, to love,
to grow old with.

Why now? Why would He do that?

Yeah, Tony, sometimes things...

They... they just happen.

And we can't explain it.

What kind of shit is that?

What kinda answer is that, yo?

We can't explain?
Are you kidding?

What the fuck am I
payin' you for?

Tony, I'm... I'm sorry.

You nee... you need to explain.

You're supposed
to have the answers.

You're the de... de...
Degrees on the wall.

Tell me. Explain it!

Tony, you okay, bro?

What's going on? I...

Not only are you a match,
you're also her father.

How is that even possible?

It's not possible,
and that's what I told him.

I said it can't be.
There's no way.

It can't be right.

We figure
it's one of two things.

Either you are not being honest
with us

about your relationship
with Destiny.

Or the tests are wrong.

Tony, this is a lot.

Yeah!

You have to get
to the bottom of this, Tony.

I don't even know
where to start.

See if they'll reopen
Aaliyah's case.

Terrence,
Aaliyah's been dead 18 years.

What's that gonna do?

I know.

But if you truly believe
that she's Destiny's mother,

something isn't addin' up, Tony.

It's not.

Look, have you tried
calling Aaliyah's sister?

What about that?

Alex?

Yeah.

Man, I haven't spoke to Alex
since Aaliyah died.

I wouldn't know where
to start looking for her.

I don't even know
if she's still alive.

God works in mysterious ways.

You can believe that.

Look, think about you.

I thought
I was bringing you down here

just to get you
out of your funk.

Maybe there's another reason.

Tony, nobody would judge you
if you had an affair.

Especially not me. Okay?

You're gonna make me
keep telling you this.

I never cheated on my wife.

Okay. Okay. Well...

was there any time

where she disappeared
for an extended amount of time?

No. Never.

Now, look, Detective.

I've been waiting for hours
to talk to you.

Hours.

For you to come in here
with nothin'.

So either give me some answers
or let me talk to somebody else.

Mr. Greene, you're gonna need
to calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down, man!

I just found out abouta daughter
I never knew I had

and nobody in here
can give me answers

to where she came from?

Well, I gave you my best guess.

Oh, word? All right. All right.

Okay. Tony. Tony.

I'm sorry. Okay?

Sit down.

We pulled the file

on Destiny's foster mother,
Sophia James.

She's legit.

All right. Well, then...

what about Aaliyah?

- Your wife?
- Yeah. I mean, is...

Is there some way that she mi...

Tony. What about her?

Is there some way
she could have been...

She was...

Tony.

Tony, your wife and her baby

were pronounced dead
on the scene.

And there's no way

that the baby
could have survived?

None, Tony!

Sorry.

Something's just not right, man.

Okay.

See, this is... this is what I...

This is what
I've been lookin' for.

That open communication. Huh?

- What doesn't feel right?
- I don't know!

If I knew that, I wouldn't be
sittin' here bullshittin'

with you, would I?

Tony.

Detective.

Now I'm gonna ask you again.

Please, do your job!

Get me some answers!

Or I'm gonna do what I gotta do,
and go out and find 'em myself!

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Look, we still have
physical evidence

from Aaliyah's case downstairs
right now.

If I can get DNA sample
on Destiny,

see if it's a match,

we can start there.

Let's start there.

That sound fair to you?

Sorry about the cup.

I like my coffee.

Ruth sent me this picture
of all of the girls

decorating my dorm room.

They put up pictures,
and flowers, and teddy bears,

and balloons.

And oh, my God,
Kayley won't stop talking

about this basketball plushie
she got me,

which obviously I don't need
and I don't want...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen...
Listen to me.

Um...

I gotta tell you somethin'.

Shoot.

I...

I don't know how
to tell you this.

You're my dad.

Who told you that?

I heard you and Dr. Murphy
talking about the test results.

This is crazy.

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me you knew?

I wanted you to be the one
to tell me.

So...

You're my dad.

But how?

I don't know.

And that's what
I gotta figure out,

but I'm gonna need some help.

I wanna go to the news
and see if anybody knows.

If that's okay with you.

Yeah.

Because I need to know, too,
honestly.

We're gonna figure this out.
Okay?

I promise.

But you need to get ready.

For what?

Get ready.

We have breaking news to report.

Former NBA basketball star
Tony Greene...

Has found
his long lost daughter.

You're gonna wanna see this.

Holy shit.

He wasn't lyin'.

Phew.

Hello.

Tony.

Are you sitting down?

I am.

Okay, I need you
to listen to me here.

Okay?

We ran Destiny's DNA
against Aaliyah's.

Okay. And?

And Aaliyah is Destiny's mother.

What the hell, man?

I know, but...

You have no idea how...

Let me do my job.

That's what you asked me to do,
didn't you?

And we can figure this out.

Yeah, okay. Thank you.

Hello.

Hey, Coach!

Just wanted to wish you luck.

Thanks, uh...

I needed that.

Yeah, I'm glad I could help.

A less mature version of me
once said

that the team couldn't win
if I wasn't playing tonight.

So prove me wrong.

I'll do my best.

You got this, Dad.

Thanks, champ.

Look at you bonding
with your daddy.

Stop.

Her name is Destiny,
and she's a member

of the Lincoln Community College
basketball team,

where Tony is currently
the head coach.

Tony Greene retired
at the height of his career

over 18 years ago

when his wife Aaliyah was
killed in a home invasion.

Authorities are attempting

to locate
Destiny's estranged mother.

There have been no leads on
who she is or where she may be.

Oh, I'm so proud of you guys!

We're goin' to
the conference championships?

Yeah.

Who would have thought, right?

And I get to go home tomorrow?

It's a good day.

Yeah, well,

I'm just glad you
didn't have to have surgery.

You and me both.

Hello?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

You're kiddin' me.

No, no, no.
We can be there tomorrow.

All right. Thank you.

They want us to come down
to the station tomorrow.

Say they found
the missing piece.

So, uh...

we have Aliyah's sister.

Alex?

Yeah, and she wouldn't talk
until you got here.

Okay, where is she?

Where's Destiny?

You don't get to ask me
any questions

until you answer
some of mine first.

So let's start
with you telling me

what your relationship
with Destiny is.

Oh, shit.

I got you, boo.

Where should I put these?

I'm sorry?

Where do these go?

Uh, right there is fine.

I thought I was her mom.

You thought?

Yes, and then she was
taken away from me.

First of all,

Destiny was found alone
inside a motel room,

which means you abandoned her.

She wasn't taken from you.

Alex, I'm gonna need you to
elaborate a little more for me.

All right.

Let's go in.

I'll be right back.

Mind if I join?

Alex, what's going on?

Tony, I promise I didn't know.

You didn't know what?

That Destiny really wasn't mine.

The IVF.

The IV... IVF?

You're talkin' about
when Aaliyah and I

were having problems
getting pregnant?

Yeah.

Uh, somebody tell me
what the hell's going on.

We're sisters,

and we always had this fantasy
of havin' our kids together.

So when Aaliyah was
having trouble getting pregnant,

the doctor suggested she try
in vitro fertilization,

or IVF.

Using... using her egg
with Tony's sperm?

Wait, wait, what?

Uh, but what does that
gotta do with you?

Wait, wait, wait, can...

Can you just explain more
about this IVF?

Alex, please explain it
to this man.

When some women
have trouble getting pregnant,

like my sister,

the doctor will remove some
of their eggs and fertilize them

outside of the body
to create embryos.

Once the embryos are ready,

they'll implant them back
into the woman's body,

and if it takes,
then they become pregnant.

Okay.

Hold... hold on.

So... so,
is Tony your baby daddy, too?

No.

I had gotten a sperm donor.

Tony and Aaliyah
had their embryos,

and I had mine.

Tony.

Is this true?

But her doctors
started to suggest IVF.

Yeah.

Jesus.

When Aaliyah died,
that broke me, Tony.

I couldn't stay in Atlanta
any longer.

So I relocated back
to our hometown,

pregnant
and just barely getting by.

How were you barely getting by?

And the cost of living
is a lot cheaper than Atlanta.

Yeah, but...

And isn't IVF hella expensive?

Yes, but Tony and Aaliyah
helped me out a lot.

I mean, in fact, Tony paid
for both of our procedures.

I didn't have my life together
the way my sister did.

Why didn't you just
ask me for help?

You just buried
my pregnant twin sister.

I wasn't about to serve
as a constant reminder

of what you just lost.

I was feeling bad enough.

So I just did side jobs,

and I found a cheap motel,

and, I don't know,
once the work wasn't stable,

I just found somewhere else.

That's when I found
the homeless shelter.

They helped me
with prenatal care,

and they offered me a job,

but it just wasn't enough,

especially after Destiny
was born.

In fact, where is she?

Tony, I'm sorry.

I promise I am so sorry.

So you're suggesting
you gave birth

to Tony and Aaliyah's embryo?

Yeah.

So she's mine.

You ready?

Come on.

I saw you
at the homeless shelter.

Have a seat.

I volunteer there
on the weekends.

I didn't know
it was you for sure

until I saw you and Tony
on the news.

Then I realized the only
possible explanation.

The lab must have
mixed up the embryos.

Wow.

It's literally
the only explanation.

Okay.

So that explains
how Tony is my dad.

But I had to spend my
whole freakin' life

in foster care because of you.

Why the hell did you leave me
in that motel?

It's not something
I'm proud of, Destiny.

I just needed some extra cash
to get us by.

One day things didn't go
as planned,

and you must have woken up,
and started crying

because when I got back
from making my run,

and you were gone.

And I had a note
from social services.

I love you, Destiny,
with all my heart,

but the streets are no place
for a three-year-old.

You bein' taken away from me
was probably the best thing

that could have happened.

Mm-mm.

Second best.

Finding Tony...

is the best thing
that could have happened.

I love you, Destiny.

Please believe me
when I say that.

You love me?

You could have looked for me
after I was taken away!

I didn't think I deserved you.

I would have gone to jail.

And what good
would I have been for you there?

They would have still
taken me in for neglect.

Better hope they
don't still get you.

Actually, the statute
of limitations on that

is 10 years.

She's unclear.

Lucky you.

Destiny.

You have every right
to be angry with me.

And I know it's not an excuse,

but I was never in a good place
when your mom died.

We did everything together.

I wanted to die, too.

And then to find out
that the little girl

who actually kept me
from taking my own life

is not my real daughter...

This has been a lot for me
to process, too, Destiny.

Welp.

As much as I'm enjoying this
soap opera of a family reunion,

I'm gonna have to let you go.

There's no crime here.

Moore,
contact the fertility clinic

and find out
if there was any contamination

to the embryo samples, please.

Thank you.

You got it.

Hey, I wish you guys the best.

Can we go?

Destiny.

I just need time.

Hey.

Just give her some time,
all right?

For all of us, right?

It's gonna be all right.

And welcome to the Women's
Junior College

Southeastern Championships!

We are broadcasting live...

All right, ladies.

From the great state of Georgia.

Here we are.

This final game
is sure to be a good...

At the beginning of this year,
I told you

we were gonna change some things
at Lincoln.

And you guys were
gonna win a championship.

And you're right on the verge
of doing it.

Remember most games are lost,
not won.

We didn't come this far to lose.

No matter what happens.

I'm proud of you, ladies.

Let's make it happen.

Charity with the mid-range shot!

Number five uses
the backboard for two!

Hustle, hustle, hustle, move!

- And Ruth takes it to the hoop.
- And it's good.

Oh, it's actually
an offensive foul!

Let's go. Have a seat.

No basket! No Bull basket!

And the Bulldogs are done.

Hey, come on.

You guys are doing great.

My shot is off, Coach!

And we are tied.

Yeah, Coach,
I can't keep up with zero.

Hey, stop. All right?

Let's not talk about
what's behind us.

Let's talk about
what's in front of us.

All right?

Keep playing.

Trust yourselves.

You guys are right there!

You're right there!

Look, Coach is right.

We only have one minute
between us

and that championship.

So stop freaking out.

Just don't stop shooting.

All right, come on. Come on.

Let's make it happen. Let's go.

Number six,
Alyssa Tucker clears the board!

Puts it back and it's gone!

And Ruth takes...

Going hard! It's a foul!

Hits the deck! Oh, no!
Looks like things are stormin'!

Come on! This is a foul!
Come on!

Oh yeah!

Things are gettin'
serious out there.

Ruth's going to the line
for two.

It's a tied ball game
and the pressure is on.

She needs to make
both of these free throws...

All right, Ruth. Come on.
Make a free throw.

To give her squad
a two-point cushion.

Will she deliver?

And she misses the first of two!

- You got this one.
- You got this one!

Oh, you got it.

Okay, Ruth.

- Let's go, ladies.
- Hit it strong.

The Bulldog season
is weighing in the balance.

And Ruth makes the shot!

The Bulldogs are

Good job, Ruth!
Good job, Ruth!

The Dragons need to score
on the next drive

to avoid defeat.

- Come on, let's go. Let's go.
- Come on.

Come on, let's go!

They're bringin' it
up the court.

And the Bulldogs
are playing lockdown defense.

And Dragons miss the shot!

The Dragons miss the shot!

Bulldogs win!

The Bulldogs win the Chip!

That's it.

They reign supreme!

How sweet it must be to
finally realize the dream!

Former NBA All-Star Tony Greene

has found himself
a new career path

as a head coach

of a now
championship-winning team.

I am in an absolute awe

of what this team
has accomplished this season.

More than deserved!

Congrats again
to the new champs,

the Lincoln Bulldogs!

Family! Whoa!

Gosh, I still can't believe
you're my dad.

This is literally
the best thing ever!

What?

Well, you know that saying,

"You don't know what you got
until it's gone"?

Yeah.

Yeah, well,

you also don't know
what you've been missing

until it arrives, kid.

Oh, um, I'm hanging out
with Alex this weekend.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah, I think it's time.

She's the closest thing
that I have to a mom anyways.

So you're not mad
at her anymore?

Oh, no, it's not that.

I've been tryin' to put myself
in her position.

I feel kind of bad.

Up until this point, she thought
she just lost a sister.

But, I mean, it... it was
her baby that died.

Aaliyah was carrying her kid.

Yeah.

It's crazy, right?

But then I think about
all the years

that I spent in foster care
and...

Well, I'll tell you one thing.

Um, Alex was never
as put together

as your mom was.

She always had a good heart.

And at the end of the day,
she did carry you.

Child I thought I lost
for 18 years.

I guess you're right.

No, I'm right.

If it wasn't for her,
you wouldn't be here.

I think it's a good idea.

Give her a chance.

And if she messes it up
this time,

well, that'll be on her.

I can dig that.

Okay.

Come on. Let's take a break.

Mm, I don't think you
want any of that.

Yeah. Hmm.

Believe me, I've been there.

All right, here we go.

Home court.

Uh, I live here now, too.

Remember?

Too easy.

- Now, I really gotta beat you.
- Yeah.

Yeah, you wish.

Oh!

I just got out of the hospital.

I think I have an excuse.

Oh!

I'm gonna hurt now.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, Jackson's coming over
tonight.

For what?

To hang out.

I at least get to give him
a hard time, though, right?

No.

But, that's what dads do.

Not the cool ones.

I don't wanna be cool.

Oh, yeah? Uh-huh?

Oh!

Oh, you wish you could
play like me, old man!

Oh, you mean like me?

Ha! Ha!

Uh, you keep practicing.

Maybe one day you'll be
as good as your dad.

I mean, I got a great coach.
