Don't worry, boys.

Daddy will be back someday, I promise you.

But I don't want you to go, Dad.

I don't wanna go either, son.

But sometimes in this life, you know,

you gotta do things that you don't wanna do.

I need you to understand something.

Now, I'm counting on you to get our family

through these hard times.

Now, I know your brother's older than you,

but you are the leader of this pack

and I don't want you to ever forget that.

There's something special inside of you, Rickey.

I've known it ever since the moment you were born.

I could see it in your eyes.

You're all heart and you got talent, real talent.

I see greatness in your future, I do.

But you gotta stay focused.

You stay on the path, keep your eye on the target.

And whatever you do, do not give up.

Never give up, kid. You got me?

You see, if you do that, by the time

you get to be my age, you'll be on top of the world.

Hm?

I love you all. You always remember that.

I love you, Dad.

Ooh!

Rickey Rhodes takes the puck. Get by a defender.

He's at the blue line. He shoots, he scores!

It's a hat trick for Rickey Rhodes

and the State College...

Where did you go, Rickey?

I mean, this is just, not even fair.

Why would some... why would you do that?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yes!

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Hey. - Jesus Christ, Hank.

You're like a fucking ninja.

Where the hell you think you going?

Oh, um, I was gonna cut out early.

You mind covering for me? I... I gotta meet up with Kelly.

She's got some kind of a surprise for me.

Oh. Is she pregnant?

What? No.

Mm, that would be a big surprise, right?

Yeah. That would be...

Are you covering for me or not?

Yeah, man. We're a team.

Ah. I appreciate that. I'll see you later.

If she is pregnant, Hank is a good name.

I will consider that.

Stay outta there. Stay outta there.

That's why we love you, brother.

What's going on in here?

- Oh, shit. - Holy shit. What...

Uh, it looks like... like a fucking ghost is here. When'd you get out?

You should've told us.

We would've thrown something special for you.

I didn't know. I didn't know I was getting out.

They just brought me right out the door.

Hey! Hey! Here it is!

- Oh, wait. - Here it is!

The moment we've been waiting for. Check it out.

Look at youse people, sitting on your asses

'cause your driveways are all clogged up.

So why don't you do the right thing?

Why don't you give us a call, let us help you out?

I know you're all tired of being stuck in your house,

because you don't wanna pick up a shovel and clear out your own driveway.

Give me a call and I'll plow you out in no time.

Don't throw your back out. Give us a call.

Oh, that looks nice. That's sweet.

Brother, you did a great job with the camera work.

Thank you. Thank you.

You shot the shit out of that. - I'm a specialist.

- Wow. - Oh, man.

So, how long you been away for? What is that?

17 years, 17 days.

17 years. You know what we're gonna do for you?

We're gonna get you laid tonight. All right? All right?

Call up them two broads, the two strippers from the club.

And uh, those two basketball players,

the seven-footers from... know they play... play for Providence?

Call 'em over for Nicky.

See, see? Here we go again.

Oh, you're a party guy, huh?

♪ Adrenaline's rushing through our veins ♪

♪ Now the countdown, it has begun! ♪

Playing it safe.

Ah, they both are crazy.

I gotta call the girls.

17 years.

There she is.

- Hi. - Hi.

Look at you. Look at this. You're working so late.

Yeah.

I'm so proud of you.

Seriously, watching you get this new company off the ground has been really inspiring.

Oh, thanks, babe.

Yeah, it's... it's a lotta work and... and sometimes it can

get stale, but uh, I really love it.

How could being a bounty hunter ever get stale?

It's a new adventure every case.

Yeah, no, you're right. You're right.

- No, stale's the wrong word. - Yeah.

I mean, bounty hunter just sounds so uncivilized.

Mm.

I like to think of myself as more of

a fugitive recovery agent.

Ooh, hot.

- Yeah. - I think that's badass.

Thanks, babe. But enough about bounty hunting.

Like, what... what... what's... what's goin' on?

What's the news?

What's the big surprise you have for me?

- You're not pregnant, are you? - What? No.

- If you are, it's okay. - No, no, no, no. I'm not.

Fully love you and love it and everything around it.

They picked me, Rick.

I'm sorry, who picked you, babe?

The United States of America.

This United States?

I made the team.

Oh, wow. That's...

- Oh, my God. - Yes, I know.

- That's... that's phenomenal. - I know. I know.

Oh, my God.

I know.

- What? - I know.

That's like... It's the world of games.

Let's fucking go.

You are sitting in the vicinity of an American hero here.

She's playing for Team USA, all right?

Stop.

This is time to celebrate.

Just relax, eat your Bundt cake.

Hey, champagne, garçon. Garçon.

- Rick. - It's French for waiter.

Okay, so camp starts Monday and they fly me out Sunday.

Wait, like this Sunday?

Yeah.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Right, no, I'm gonna miss you, too, babe.

It just doesn't feel real.

Like, I mean when I came out here to train,

all I cared about was hockey.

I didn't think I was gonna meet someone like you.

Yeah, I mean, a lot can happen in a year, huh?

Yeah.

It's probably been the best year of my life

and now I need to leave it all behind.

No.

I don't know how we're gonna make it work.

No, hold on a second. No.

I'm sitting with like a world class athlete here,

like who's put on this planet to just dominate the ice.

This is phenomenal. You know what I mean? And you're gorgeous.

-Argh. -Like, we're talking... we're talking Wheaties boxes

and like endorsement deals and like just your social media is gonna blow the fuck up.

This is crazy.

You... you have all the makings of... of becoming a...

Real deal superstar.

- Hey. - Hey.

Uh, yeah, that's right.

Yeah, that... I was gonna say that.

That... Do I know you?

Yeah. Rick, sorry, this is my new coach.

Troy Samson, pleasure.

Oh.

Troy Samson, didn't you used...

Play pro, yeah, about eight seasons with the Rangers,

finished off in Calgary, couple years with the Flames.

Great bunch of guys.

He was the 2005 Rookie of the Year.

- How cool is that? - Oh, so cool.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Hey, Rick, he used to play hockey, too.

Oh, you played too, Rick?

Yeah, I played uh, in college and then uh,

I kind of just tore up my knee in a really bad car accident

right before the draft and then that was,

uh, that was it.

Well, at least you know you had the skill to play

at the next level.

You know, hockey's a wonderful sport.

And you know, the game was good to me as a player,

but I must say I find it even more rewarding as a coach.

You know, emotionally speaking.

Something about cultivating an athlete, building them,

shining 'em up like a diamond, it really does it for me.

Wow, yeah, most coaches,

they seem to be in it for the money

and the glory of it all, but I don't know, not Coach Troy.

- No. - No.

- No. - No?

You know, in my playing days I had my fair share of time

in the spotlight,

now it's about giving back to the sport.

I think that's so cool. I love that.

Yeah. It's very fulfilling.

- Oh, I'll bet. - Yeah.

Anyways, what do you do now, Rick,

now that your playing days are over?

Oh, uh...

I'm a fugitive recovery agent.

What, like a bounty hunter?

That's another way of putting it, sure.

Wow, Kel, you didn't tell me you dated Boba Fett here.

Boba Fett's good.

I'm just kidding, man.

They don't freeze me in carbonite, bro.

I'll Boba Fett you, you phony.

- Oh, shit, well. - Eh.

Uh, anyway, I'll let you guys enjoy your dinner.

Uh, I was at the bar, saw Kel, had to say hi.

Oh, no, no, no. I mean, we haven't ordered yet.

Do you want to join us?

This place is really charming, huh?

I know, right here. Let's have a drink.

- Mm. Yeah. - Yeah.

Rain check. You know, I've got to hit the ice early.

- You too, kid. - Yeah, you're right.

Nice to meet you, Robbie.

It's fucking Rickey.

Wow, he is so great. Such a good coach.

Super. So great.

- Don't do that. - What?

- You're jealous. - I'm not jealous.

-You're being jealous. -I am not. I'm not jealous, okay?

I don't do drama.

The only thing you need to worry about is being the best hockey player on the planet.

Jesus Christ, Bobby, would you put that away?

Oh, I'm sorry, brother.

I've had a long night, too.

Could you just not with the accent?

What accent?

The... never mind.

Hey, it's approximately 78 minutes earlier

than your standard arrival time.

And you thought I was an intruder?

Well, what else would I think, Rickey?

It's a sick world we're living in.

Ugh.

Oh, what you doing home so early?

Oh, you know, Kelly had an early ice time.

She made the team, bro.

What? Hey!

Well, oh, that is fantastic.

Congratulations!

Hoo!

Don't congratulate me, I didn't do anything.

Yeah, but congratulations to her.

Well, you should be happy for her.

I am, I'm just... it's a... it's a lot, you know?

And... and I didn't actually think she'd make the team.

Well, that is real supportive, Richard.

No.

That's... that's not what I meant, all right?

I just... I'm saying that it's... it's the World Games, man.

It's... this is a huge deal.

Rickey, you're my brother and I know every tick on you.

So cut the shit.

What?

Look, you're just worried that your drop-dead gorgeous,

world class athlete of a girlfriend is gonna realize

that you've been living a lie.

That you're not a bounty hunter.

And then she'll just move on to one of the many, many more

handsome, well-dressed, cleaner teeth, kinder, smarter,

superior health-insurance having,

more agile, radiant skin,

better mannered, well-hung, more artistic,

taller suitors out there.

Are you done?

Look, this is about dear, dear Kelly.

And that's okay.

Yeah, but whatever. I just... this...

Rickey, the answers you seek will not be found at the bottom of a bottle.

And you drank everything last night.

Not the mouthwash.

I didn't even tell you the worst part yet.

You remember Troy Samson?

Troy Samson? Whoo-hoo, yeah.

He played for the Rangers. Now he was good.

- What about him? - He's her new coach.

Now that is awesome.

Hmm.

Hey.

You think you could get him to sign this for me?

Oh.

Oh.

Yeah, look at that.

What the shit?

- Rickey, that was gem mint. - That guy's a douche.

That doesn't change the fact that the card was worth $9,

and that Kelly is gonna learn a lot from him.

He is gonna level her game up.

No, you know, I met him tonight and he gave off such

creeper vibes.

Creeper vibes? Troy Samson?

Say it isn't so.

It's almost as if he took the job just so he could bang his players.

Oh.

Rickey, this sounds like a real streak of paranoia.

I'm telling you, man.

While I'm out there cleaning toilets,

she's gonna be out there working out with Troy,

and hanging out with Troy, and having lunch with Troy.

Rickey, you gotta put a little more stock into Kelly's loyalty.

You think she's gonna jump ship just 'cause some stud coach

is suddenly in the picture?

That's exactly what I think.

Yeah.

He is dreamy.

Bobby! God!

Dammit.

- Hello? - What's good? What's good?

What's up, Hank?

Uh, listen, man.

I know you're not on the schedule today, but um,

I could really use your help down here right now.

Listen, Mike done called off and everything.

Down here is just crazy.

So you would be doing me a huge favor

if you could pull up right now.

Plus, we're a team, right?

Uh.

Yeah. Yeah, we're a team.

My man.

All right.

Oh, my God.

There it is.

Breakfast of champions.

Damn. How you feeling today, brother?

Oh, like shit.

Well, I got something that might cheer you up.

Hmm.

So you're a big hockey fan, right?

- Yeah, I mean, I guess. - Check it out.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

No. No.

Come on. Come on, boys.

Chop-chop. We got work to do.

All right, this is how it's gonna go down.

First thing you do, I want that podium moved to center stage.

Second, I want plenty of extra T-shirts and hats available

for the autograph signing after the assembly.

Okay, if we don't have enough items,

I'm gonna go apeshit.

No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Autograph session? No.

No, no, no. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, no.

Listen to me. Listen to me, fellas.

We have to rise to the occasion, grab opportunity,

pull its pants down, and slap it on the sweet little ass.

And you want to slap opportunity on the ass, don't you, boys?

Yeah.

Good. Then leave a mark.

Leave a mark on opportunity's ass.

Okay, we got 30 seconds, it's show time.

Ooh God.

Rickey, what are you doing?

God. Oh, God.

- You okay? - Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay, great.

Show time, let's do this.

- Oh, my God. - Wait, wait.

Rickey, you okay?

Shh, shut up. Shut up.

Just shut up, please. Just give me a second.

Don't say my name.

Hm, that's rude.

No, no, no, I'm sorry.

Just give me a second to think things through.

Oh.

Rickey?

Shh.

If they see me, my whole mission is blown, okay?

- I'm compromised. - What are you doing here?

I... I was gonna ask you the same thing.

What are you doing here with Mullet McGee over there?

I'm here to talk to the students.

Oh.

Did you follow?

No, I... I'm... I work here. I mean, I'm working.

- I'm working. - On what?

- I'm... I'm working on a case. - What case?

I uh, I'm tracking down a real dangerous sex offender, okay?

And he's somewhere in this room.

You are dressed like a custodian.

I'm undercover as a... as a janitor.

Thing, you know? Yeah, blue team, go.

Blue team. I think I might be compromised.

Yeah, no, my girlfriend's here. Okay.

Can... can you just please...

Isn't it customary to hide your identity

while undercover, bud?

No. No.

Okay? Rickey's a very common name.

It throws people off, it's scary.

From here, you look like a janitor who's lying to his girlfriend.

Rickey, have you been lying to me this whole time?

I don't lie. I am making the world a safer place, okay, babe?

I take predators off the street.

Keep going, bud.

- No. - Keep going.

No. That's how I... Okay, there might be a mishap.

- Rickey. - Yeah?

I need you to clean up in aisle two right away.

It's awful, some kid just puked his guts out.

I need my top janitor, okay?

- This is your moment... - Oh, no.

To slap opportunity on the ass. Just like that. You can do this.

- What? - Come on, you can do it. You got this. Go.

Do not worry, folks. We got him.

This is your sex offender, people.

You're not sexing anyone else today.

You're going down to the pound.

Did you just say he's taking him to pound town?

Yeah, he did.

I did not say that.

- Rickey. - Yeah.

You're fired!

Oh, my God.

Aw, hell no. If he fired, then I quit.

No, Hank.

We're a team, baby.

Babe. Babe, babe.

- Yeah. - Baby.

Rickey?

What?

What is it?

Pretty sure that's your stuff, bro.

- Hey. - Back off, asshole!

God.

Fuck off.

- Fuck. - Jesus.

Oh, my God.

Is that the pepper spray I got you?

Jesus Christ, Rickey, I thought I was getting mugged.

Ah.

Listen, I just... I wanted a face-to-face.

I don't think that's necessary.

You just pepper-sprayed me, okay?

Can I just get 30 seconds, please?

There's nothing to say.

I don't deal with dishonesty and you are a liar.

So I lie once, and that's it, I'm out?

It wasn't one lie, Rick.

It started with one lie, strung together by a year

of continuation lies which spanned our entire relationship.

I had to lie, all right? I'm a janitor.

Like what was I supposed to do?

You're... you're beautiful, and smart and...

and a world-class athlete.

Girls like you don't end up with fucking janitors.

You actually think I care about money?

- And status? - No. It's...

I loved you, and now I can never trust you ever again.

I'm gonna go practice.

Babe, Kel...

No.

You know what?

I never lied to you about how much I love you.

It's a little late for that.

I mean, what about all those nights you said you couldn't

come over, because you were on a case?

What were you actually doing?

I was sweeping floors, bleaching urinals.

I was literally cleaning up piss and shit.

Okay. Well, right now you're jobless.

You drink way too much.

And you've pissed away every piece of potential

that you've ever had, including me.

You are pathetic.

Wow, shots fired, Kel.

I'm just being honest,

because in a weird way,

I still care.

Well, if you still care, then you should like

give me another chance.

I'm leaving for camp Sunday and I'm gonna move home

after the games.

Maybe you should take some time and put yourself back together.

Not for me, for your next girlfriend.

Everything okay?

Yes.

Rickey was just giving me back his spare key.

Oh, good.

Better start warming up, kid.

That's a great girl right there.

Yeah.

Doesn't need a piece of shit like you bringing her down.

Hey, do Kelly a favor and lose her number.

Don't... don't fucking touch me.

Easy, tiger. Just being a bro.

Bro that's gonna take extra good care of Kelly

in her time of need.

See a good coach...

is a shoulder to cry on.

And he's got good shoulders.

I got nice fucking shoulders.

What are you gonna do, Rickey?

What are you gonna do, Rickey?

Yeah, what are you gonna fucking do?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Hey!

- Oh, what time is it? - It's 8:00 a.m.

Unemployment office just opened, bud.

Ooh, no.

Yeah, there it is.

I think it turned. You're done.

That's right here.

Oh,

hello, night-night.

Rickey, what is going on here?

- I quit drinking. - Okay.

Well, Rickey, I think you're supposed to pour the booze down

the drain when you quit, not in the blender.

Well, I kinda felt we should

celebrate the occasion, you know?

Give it a proper send-off.

So who's with me?

Okay, hold on.

Al... al... although all this shit seem fundamentally wrong...

I'm down.

We a team, right?

- Goddamn right, we're a team. - Let's go!

Robert?

I'll have one drink.

- Yes, you will. - Let's go.

So, just a warning.

I put a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

L'chaim!

Kampai.

All right.

It's green. Okay.

- Ooh. - Mm.

Oh, this had a little spice to it.

I think I like it.

Just let it go down, just go down smooth.

- Oh. - It ain't that bad.

- All right. - Ooh, ooh.

That's all right, Rick.

Do you guys like it?

It's good, Rickey.

Let's make another round.

I'm gonna have another drink. Anyone want more?

- Mm. - Get in here.

Opa!

That's too tight. That's too tight.

I give up.

- Has delighted their fans. - Robbie, throw it!

Especially with new captain, starting center,

Kelly Van Horn, leading the charge.

Is she phenomenal or what?

Wait.

In a bizarre scandal the sports world hasn't seen

since the 1919 Chicago Black Sox,

it appears as though

USA men's curling team has been exposed

in a point-shaving scandal that has sent shockwaves

throughout the sport.

The entire squad has been expelled

from World Games play immediately.

We've organized an open tournament to assemble

a whole new squad.

Well, there you have it. Calling all curlers.

What the fuck? What the...

You're pathetic, Rickey.

Kelly?

You pissed away every dream you ever had.

Bitch.

Kelly, where are you? Show yourself!

I'm done talking. It's over.

You c...

Oh, hey, Robbie. What's up, bud?

That is a beautiful man.

Huh?

I was right!

He doesn't love you, he just wants in your pants!

You got a slap opportunity on the ass, boy.

What? Why... why are you...

You like that, don't you, bitch?

Look at those soft hips.

No!

Aah!

Rickey, look out!

And remember, Rickey, never give up.

Never, never, never!

- Fuck. - Yeah!

Hoo!

- Good job, Rick. - Ah.

Rickey.

Nothing changes.

Look at youse people, sitting on your asses

'cause your driveways are all clogged up.

So why don't you do the right thing?

Why don't you give us a call and let us help you out? I know you're all tired of...

Okay. Guys, guys, wake up.

What... what happened?

I... I finally figured it out.

Figured out what?

How I'm gonna get Kelly back.

Well, the first thing you need to do is take a chemical shower.

You reek, Richard.

I found the right path.

This is my path to righteousness.

Okay. You gonna tell us what it is or what?

We... must... curl.

Wait, wait. Hold on.

Hey, you talking about weightlifting?

I mean, your arms already look nice,

but your chest is trash.

You could work on that.

Uh, no. Thank you, but no.

The sport, curling?

Huh?

The game with the brooms on the ice.

Stay focused, Hank.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Curling.

Fuck it, let's do it.

You don't know what it is. It's time to be curious.

Okay, well, he is gonna learn...

We are all gonna learn, and then we are taking home

the gold from the World Games as a team.

"Bring us your tired, your poor, your brooms."

That's good. "Land of opportunity.

Curling tournament to crown Team USA."

Look, I don't know about this, Rickey.

You know I don't like losing.

Well...

Last time you beat me at Jenga, I couldn't make eye contact

with you for three weeks.

Yeah, man, listen, every curling shark in America

gonna be at that, though.

My self-confidence is very fragile right now.

I... I don't think it could take another blow.

Oh, okay. Guys... listen,

we just need to train a little bit

and we'll be great. Okay?

You... you throw a block down a sheet of ice and you sweep.

How hard could that be?

Really hard.

I don't wanna look weak in front of Hank.

We have some unique skills and abilities

that'll make us naturals.

I mean, Hank and I know a thing or two about sweeping, right?

Yeah, and... and you was good at hockey, right?

You know I can move on the ice.

And Bobby, this game is built on firing a projectile

at ungodly speed with deadly accuracy and striking a target,

the kind of skills that one would obtain by commanding

the most decorated artillery unit in Iraq.

Don't start buttering me up talking about

long-range explosives.

We gotta do something with our lives here, okay?

I wake up every morning and I realize that I'm...

I ain't shit.

And I'm tired of it.

Now, Hank, you're unemployed and you sleep on our couch.

And Bobby, you of all people, you are a goddamn veteran.

Uncle Sam is calling you one last time.

Do not do it for me. Oh, no.

You do it for the stars and stripes, brother.

Okay.

I'm in.

Yes!

Yeah, me too.

Yeah.

But um, who got the 10 grand?

Wh... what 10 grand?

I mean, that's a... that's just a standard entry fee.

Um, but don't worry about that, okay?

We'll... we'll... we'll figure it out.

Shit.

Who is it?

Rickey?

Jesus Christ, how the hell are you guys?

Yeah, I... I... I'd love to see you.

Where? When?

Okay, I'll be there.

Miserable fa...

Motherfuckers.

My boys and I back together again the way it should be.

I can't tell you how happy this makes me feel.

So what can I do for you fellas?

What... what's the urgency?

Well, Dad, uh, to be honest, we need money.

- Money? - Yeah.

Yeah, sure. You can have whatever I have.

I got at least 400 bucks on me.

No. No, no, no.

No, no, you don't understand.

We... we need uh, 10 grand for an entry fee.

10 grand? Jesus.

Look, I don't have that kind of money.

Well, if we can't get the 10Gs, I guess we're just uh,

dead in the water.

All right, hold on. Hold on a second.

I think maybe I... I might know a way to get the dough for you.

Well, what are you gonna do?

You're not gonna call the Plow King, are you, Pop?

Wait, I'm confused.

What does the money have to do with snow removal?

No. No, no, no.

The Plow King, it's a... it's a gimmick.

It's a front, all right?

He's a made guy with the Carpoza crime family

and he washes all the dough through the plowing company.

Isn't that right, Pop?

He is a cold-blooded killer, Daddy.

Isn't the Plow King the reason why you were locked up

for 20 years of our lives?

First of all, it was 17 years, not 20.

And secondly, don't go running your mouth off about things

that you don't know anything about.

This is the real world.

Now, you want the 10 grand or not?

Let me worry about the financing

and you worry about your obvious problems.

Like what? Like what?

Curling is a four-man sport.

You only got three of you.

And don't go looking at me, all right?

I can't get on the ice since I severed my tendon.

Oh, wait. Ho... We need another player?

Guys, you're talking about going for the gold.

The least you could do is Google the sport.

Oh, I'm your new coach, by the way.

- Hank. - Nice to meet you.

This is what you want, Rick? This is your dream?

- Yeah. - All right.

Well, if you wanna TCB for real,

meet me in the garage in one hour.

All right? And get a fourth guy.

I don't give a shit who it is. It's good seeing you boys.

I see you over there, baby.

♪ This is what we've waited for ♪

♪ This is what we train for ♪

I have the ability to see the game four or five,

six, seven shots into the future.

What floor did you say you were on?

Ah. Third.

I'm on the third floor.

You?

Physical therapy's on the third floor.

Nobody lives on the third floor.

Did I say three? I meant to say four.

Come on, man, give me a break. Jeez.

Or sue me all right already. Jeez.

I just moved in. This guy... this guy's...

Okay.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.

- Can I give you a little tip? - Yeah.

Don't squeeze your shaft too hard.

All right.

The champion towing the rubber.

It's winning time, game on the line.

This is why we're all here. Oh, take me to the rivers.

Oh!

Oh!

Cough it up. Let's go.

It's okay, baby. I don't want you...

I knew it. Hey, hey!

Stop him.

He doesn't even live at Cedar Crest.

Hey, elder abuse! Elder abuse!

This is elder abuse!

Hey, come back here.

You guys are sore losers.

- Uncle Jerry! - Rickey!

Get in!

Bobby, you mental case, you.

I love you, Uncle Jerry.

Oh, my God.

- What did you do? - Uncle Jerry!

I thought you were institutionalized.

I was!

Bobby thought you were dead.

Oh, dead. I'll show you dead.

I just cleaned them out.

Whoo!

- It is good to see you boys. Oh, man.

Listen, we need your help with something.

What do you got?

You ever heard of curling?

Okay.

These guys look polite.

Thanks, Jerry.

Hi. How are you?

So, your old man tells me you got big aspirations,

you want to go for the gold.

Uh, yes, sir.

Forget the sir shit, all right?

You familiar with the sport?

- Curling? - Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't know if I would consider it a sport.

I mean... Right.

It's kinda ridiculous-looking shit to me, but that's just me.

You need a team, right, brother?

Oh, yeah, he's got a team.

He's put together some real studs.

Listen, let me tell you something.

In this life, it goes by like this, and then it's over.

And you only get a certain amount of chances.

You gotta do the best you can do, you know, be a man,

like your father.

Your old man, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

All right?

I mean, it means a lot to me, and I don't have a lot of people

in my life that mean a lot to me.

But your father did the right thing.

Your father, he could've... he could've walked away,

not done any time.

Instead, he kept his mouth shut, and he did his time like a man.

All right?

That's why I made sure you and your brother, you know,

didn't go without.

Right, and we uh...

We really appreciated that.

I love your father.

I probably love your father more than you do.

Listen, man.

I've been following your story ever since you were this fucking big.

And that hat trick you pulled in the state championships?

Hey, listen, you made...

you made a name for yourself overnight.

You were a top pick.

You know, if you didn't have that fucking car accident,

you'd be there, brother.

Right.

Uh, yeah, that... that's uh, that's... that's all in the past.

You know, a lot of shit's in the past.

You seem like a good kid...

so here's your second chance.

Wait, wait. What?

Really?

That... Wow.

Uh, thank you.

Thank you so much.

We... I... like we really appreciate it.

Before you thank me, now, you owe me.

So, I suggest you go practice

and take that with you.

Go ahead. Get outta here. Go practice.

Well, I won't let you down.

Thanks, Eddie.

Curling is a game of precision, focus, and finesse.

It's not about being the fastest or the strongest.

You wanna win this game, you gotta be the smartest.

It's a sport where every detail matters; angle, weight,

even the sweeper's technique can turn the tide of a match.

The object of the game is simple.

Each player gets four stones.

Center it!

Aiming to slide them down a sheet of ice towards the house.

Shouldn't have yelled.

Get your rocks off at the target.

Bob, Hank. Come on, boys.

You've gotta envision it. Let it roar.

Oh, geez.

Oh, my God. Are you okay?

Ah.

Come on, let's go. Pick up the pace.

Come on, pick it up, pick it up. Pick up those knees.

Come on. That's it.

You might beat some team from Staten Island

you keep up the good work.

Let's go! The hell is that?

- What do you think you are, Dean Martin? Get moving. - Yeah!

Yeah!

It's all about hitting that bullseye.

Harder. Go, go, go!

Hey, come on, faster.

- Go, go, go. - Oh, yeah.

Sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep.

I mean, it's more than just muscle memory.

For the sake of a better word, it's like magic.

And believe me, we're gonna need all the magic we can get.

Let's go! Pick up the pace!

Faster! Faster!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

All right.

Shit timing, but you're doing better.

You're looking better. Let's go. Come on.

This game is perfect for us. I'm a curler!

Because there's nothing to it.

Oh, yeah. Take me to the river, baby!

Yeah! Come on, Jerry.

Sweep faster! Go! Go! Go!

- Yeah! - Hell yeah! They can't see me, baby!

- Let's go! - Yeah!

Pretty goddamn good shot, Uncle Jerry Tall.

Guys, focus!

All right, let's do it again.

Now we're getting into the hit and roll.

So, the shooter, we're gonna try and get this set up here.

We're gonna climb the ladder.

We're gonna try and knock off this one here.

Our stone in the middle here will finally make its way right here to the button.

Come on! Pick it up!

Pick it up!

The hell is this?

Other team's in your way, you blast 'em off the ice.

- Yeah! - Yeah, baby!

- I'm a curler! - There it is.

- That's it, Coach. - Yeah!

That's how we do it on.

- Well done. - Thanks, Jerry.

Well, listen, I'm not gonna stand here

and blow smoke up your ass

and tell you how great a job you're doing.

I know how hard you all been working.

You guys been kicking ass, and I'm proud of you.

All right?

So, here we go, boys.

A little love for you.

Oh, yeah. Atta boy.

- All right. - What the...

No way.

Whoa!

You guys are looking sharp.

- Check it out. - What?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

What do you say, guys?

Thank you, Plow King.

- Jesus, look at this. - Coach...

No, I'm good. I'm done, baby.

I think we're ready, brother.

I think they're ready to kick some ass.

Good job. Good job.

Good job to everybody. All right?

Everybody. All you motherfuckers.

You did it, man. You did it.

All right?

Now all we gotta do is win.

No such thing as second place.

All right. Let's go, guys, huh?

Thanks again for...

Go out there and kick some fucking ass, man.

Thanks, man. Thanks.

All right. Go do your thing.

You know what to do.

- You got it. - All right? Okay?

- - All right. Let's kick some ass.

Let's go!

And coming up after the break,

we've got World Games news for you.

Team USA's curling qualifier is finished

and we've got the winner for you coming up next.

This year's World Games has already

been full of surprises.

Perhaps the biggest surprise comes fresh off

the curling ice.

That's right, Katrina.

After a heated qualifier, Team USA men's curling squad

is finally in place.

We caught up with team captain, Rickey Rhodes.

You just qualified for the World Games.

How do you feel?

Uh, listen.

We came into this whole thing unranked

and no one believed in us.

But you know what? We believed in each other.

And goddamn it, we're going after that gold medal.

- Am I right? - Yeah!

Let's go!

Oh, and uh, shout out to the Plow King

for having our backs.

Um, call him for all your snow removal needs.

He'll give your driveway that royal treatment.

A confident captain, a confident team.

You just gotta love Team USA's chances of bringing home

lots of medals this year.

No question, Gus.

Talk about a top-notch crop of highly-tuned athletes.

These competitors train their entire lives for this one moment

to shine on a stage that spans the globe.

And perhaps the most unique story from this year's games,

USA men's curling team.

Talk about the land of opportunity...

Ooh, game time.

These men have come from

complete obscurity to represent...

Hey, baby. Do me a favor.

Go over there and turn that shit up.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, fuck yeah.

- Yeah! - Ooh-hoo.

Huh? That's what I'm talking about!

That's some good shit. Get fuck...

- We make a good team! - Yeah, we fucking do.

That's kind of why I gotta ask, you know?

I heard that you're taking that head coaching job up in Buffalo next season.

Oh, you heard that, huh?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Noticed uh, you haven't picked your assistant coach yet.

Huh?

Wanna make sure you know my name's in the hat.

You know, think of this like a hockey try-out.

You do what I tell you to do,

we'll be fucking riding buffaloes all the way

to the Stanley Cup final.

Don't forget.

Come from complete obscurity to representing

the Stars and Stripes.

And these guys absolutely ate up the competition

at the qualifying stage.

Would you look at these fucking clowns?

We got this. This is gonna be fun.

Team captain, Rickey Rhodes, is actually

an out-of-work custodian.

Well, we know he can handle a broom.

And the team also features Rickey's brother,

Staff Sergeant Robert Rhodes, a highly decorated

Marine Corps veteran and former field artillery commander.

And let's not forget Jerry Moretti.

He's Rickey and Robert's uncle, who at 73,

becomes the oldest competitor in World Games history.

I mean, that is remarkable.

And to round off the team, we have Hank Mitchell,

who is a... a high school graduate?

A high school graduate.

Curling.

Curling.

What?

There you have it folks.

The United States men's curling team.

Taking the ice Monday night against Team Ireland.

Good luck, fellas.

Ah, I can't believe we actually made it.

Never a doubt in my mind.

Let's remember why we're really here,

- to win the gold from these tight-assed Russkies here.

- Whoa. Whoa. - Hey.

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

Thank you so much.

All right, thank you, guys. Thank you.

Hey, hey, guys, we don't have to be on the ice till noon.

Wanna go see the sights?

Uh, you guys go on ahead. I'm gonna...

There's something I need to take care of.

- You sure? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right then. Let's go, guys.

Jerry, time to go meet your next ex-wife.

Come on, buddy.

Hey, how much for one of these?

35, my man.

You've go... I got 30.

All right, deal.

Ah, Jesus Christ.

You already tracked her down?

No. It must have been fate.

I had no idea she was over there.

Horseshit.

Okay, fine. Fine.

I read the press packet that they gave us,

and the women's hockey team just finished up their Q&A

in that very pub about 19 minutes and 26...

27 seconds ago.

You stalker.

Don't you think it would've been a better idea to call her,

tell her you made the team?

No.

I think it'd be more impactful for her to see me like this.

It's a very nice uniform, and plus, I think she...

I mean, I'm pretty sure she blocked my number.

Okay, Romeo.

Listen, don't flake on us tomorrow.

- Okay. - You know, some of us came here to win!

Pretty sure she heard you. Thank you.

Oh, what's up, bitches? It's Troy.

Hey!

Drink up, drink up.

Game day tomorrow, we gotta cop load.

Great fucking job on the press conference, Kelly.

You really know how to fucking work that mic.

- Thank you, thank you. - Very fucking marketable.

Fuck yeah.

Oh, my God. Oh, shit.

This is my fucking jam!

Oh!

Oh shit. Whoo!

Yeah!

Bet you didn't know I could break it down like that, huh?

- Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah, impressive.

Swing by my suite later. It's also impressive.

I knew it was you.

Hey, hey, hey. I just wanna apologize.

I know it was totally uncalled for.

I'm your coach. What I did was wrong.

You're a beautiful young woman I just got caught up

for a sec back there.

You know, I just wasn't expecting that from you.

I know you're used to playing grab-ass with the other players,

but I'm not like that.

I promise it won't happen again.

Yeah.

I just think things might be different

if it weren't for Rickey.

Excuse me?

Look, it's none of my business, but don't forget

what he did to you, it's some really creepy shit.

Break your heart once, he'll do it again.

Truth is, Kelly, I like you.

I don't date my players,

but I won't be your coach forever.

Now, I promise I won't cross the line from here on out,

but when this is all over, I mean, who knows, right?

No.

Did you go with the, "I don't date my players" routine?

Works every time, bud.

Fuck outta here.

I don't want her getting soft on this piece of shit Rickey.

Find a way to get rid of him.

I'm on it like a nut at a squirrel convention.

It's fucking ain't right, bud. Bring her home.

She's all dancing and he's all dancing

and they're having a grand old time.

And then... and then she gives him the look.

You know the look? It's that look.

And she... she used to give me that look.

You know what I mean?

And I was like, "Why would you do that?"

Where'd you say you were from again?

Are you gonna... you're gonna go to the bathroom?

Okay. Right up.

Come back and, and I'll... next round's on me.

All right. Well, you know what?

Forget her. That's...

Rickey's gotta be a little selfish now.

Rickey's gotta look out for Rickey.

He's gotta... he's gotta look out for Rickey.

Rickey's... Rickey needs to be on Team Rickey.

This bar is for Team Russia only.

Oh, yeah?

Hmm.

Who... who are you?

President of... What the fuck?

Jesus, you're tall.

We are the defending gold medalists,

so if I say it's our bar, it's our bar.

Well, pretty soon, we're gonna kick your ass.

Hmm.

And then we're gonna take that gold from you.

And then the bar will be ours essentially, right?

Fuck off, you dumbass.

Maybe we kick your ass now.

Why do we need to do that? I mean, we play the same game.

You know what I mean? We should be friends.

I'm gonna get you a beer. How about that?

Oh, you didn't move.

Don't do that.

That's not good for your teeth.

You silly Americans. You watch too muchRocky IV.

In real life, the Russians always win.

You... you fucking win.

This is bullshit. Where the hell is he?

I'll give you one good guess.

Let me tell you something, he screws this up,

the Plow King's gonna throw him in a river.

Nobody's going in any rivers.

Dammit, Rickey, where you been?

Well, damn, what happened to your face?

Things went sideways with Kelly and uh, oh, yeah.

Oh, I had a little run-in with Team Russia.

Oh, yeah. Well, that don't look good.

Just letting you know.

Thank you. No, I'm over it.

You know, you can't force it.

Yeah. Well, I'm glad you came to this little epiphany.

Next time you go out, take somebody with you.

Come on guys, grab the brooms. We got a game to play.

Let's go.

Rock and roll.

And welcome back to our World Games coverage.

Team USA is locked ina tight match with Team Canada.

It's all down to this final shot.

A very strong takeout byJerry Moretti to seal the deal.

Go, go, go, go!

Harder, harder, harder.

Come on, come on.

You, you, to the left.

Team USA moves on and Team Canada

will head home without a medal.

This audience is fired up.

I don't think a lot of folks had Team USA

making it out of round one.

Good curl, good curl.

Good curl.

Good curl. So what are you gonna do?

What's the matter? Having trouble putting it in the hoose, eh?

Shut the fuck up!

Sorry.

All right, all right.

First big win in the books, baby.

Huh?

They look good, PK. They look real good.

- Girls, bring it. - Yes.

Team USA is about to take ona very talented Jamaican squad.

I got you, Bobby.

Jerry Moretti on the hat.

Okay. Now, sweep, sweep, sweep.

He delivers.

Quick, quick.

And look at this.

A little razzle dazzle by Rhodes and Mitchell.

Can't say I've seen that one before.

Textbook takeout by Team USA and that's it for Jamaica.

This one's all over.

Yeah, yeah.

All right, that's what I'm talking about.

Hell, yeah

Yeah, so you know, they... they done fired Rickey,

so I said, "Fuck it."

You know, "I'mma quit that job."

You know, 'cause we a team, baby,

- you know. - Yeah.

I'm just letting you know.

Yeah, no. That... that happened.

It was a little bit of a misunderstanding.

I mean, I... I called my boss a sexual predator.

Zip-tied his ass, baby. Yeah.

- I did. - Rickey!

Rickey!

And Coach, how does it feel coaching your sons

at this high level?

I don't want to give myself any credit for it.

The... the guys have worked really hard.

They've put every effort into doing this.

I'm just there for a little moral support once in a while.

So, you know, I'm all right. You guys keep...

I love you, Dad!

I love you too, Bobby.

And curling fans wanna know, Bobby, are you married?

Thank you for asking that question, Katrina.

I've been single since 1995...

after a very heated game of skeletons

in the closet and spin the bottle,

where I broke up with Ashley Moskowitz,

who I still love.

If she wants to reach me, she can find me

at subbyrobertrhodes26

on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook

and MySpace or any social media platform.

Thank you.

The curling dome is rocking and it's a battle on ice

between USA and China.

Tough spot for Team USA.

Team China is in full control of the house.

Two degrees left.

Fire.

Heavy hard.

Heavy hard.

Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

Double take down. Now, that's an impressive shot.

- Boom. - Wild, sensational

sweeping right there by Rhodes and Mitchell.

Target destroyed.

And just like that, Team USA have cut into the semi-finals.

And the fans love these guys. They've really bought into this.

I mean, how could you not?

Everybody loves an underdog story.

USA. USA.

USA. U... Ah! I broke my flag.

The United Statesis locked in a war of attrition with Germany.

Neither team is willing to give an inch.

Rightfully so.

Winner of this one faces Team Russia for the gold.

And that's another point for Team Germany.

And by the looks of it, Team USA's epic run...

Oh, man.

This shit's getting ugly.

It was fun while it lasted.

Germany is clearly the stronger team.

They've had their backs against the wall before,

but this is a very challenging shot.

It sure is, Katrina.

This is not the position you wanna be in with a game

- on the line. - Battery two.

- Now is the time to set up a final steal... - Total sweep.

but it may be tough.

Five seconds in. Fire!

Moretti kicks back and deals.

Rhodes and Mitchell on the sweep.

- Yes, boys, sweep! - That's right.

Sweep like you mean it!

Bobby Rhodes really wants this badly.

- Come on, baby, sweep! - I can't watch this.

I'm so nervous, babe.

Oh, Jesus. Come on. Come on.

Come on, guys.

Rhodes stops sweeping and...

Oh my goodness, what a maneuver.

- Monster takeout for the win. - Whoo!

Can you believe it?

This place is electric right now.

And just like that, Team USA's Cinderella story forges on.

Team USA goes from being unranked

at the start of the games to now being 10-to-one favorites

against the Russians in the final.

Hey, Eddie. Are you seeing this thing?

The whole goddamn world's watching our boys.

Ah, man. They're kicking ass.

Not bad for a bunch of bums from the neighborhood, huh?

Let me just put it in plain English.

I need the boys to lay down. All right?

Vegas has got 'em favored 10-to-1 against Russia.

What are you saying, Eddie?

You know goddamn well what I'm saying.

You just don't wanna say it.

Oh no, Eddie. Please, no.

Please.

These guys are working so hard at this.

Can't there be another way?

I like that kid. I like him a lot.

You know, I mean, but he's gotta do

what he's gotta do.

That's it.

Nice to meet you. How you doing?

Oh, my God. It's our guys. It's our guys. Come on.

Come on. Team USA.

Yes. Hi. Rickey Rhodes.

Harold Rhodes. Nice to meet you. How are you?

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - Pleasure. Thank you guys for having us.

There's plenty of booze at the bar. Make yourself at home.

Thank you again. We're having a lot of fun.

This goes without saying,

if you want everyone to return in one piece,

you'll make sure this goes without a hitch.

You understand?

What's with all the tough guy talk?

I mean, what happened

to the whole living legend thing?

Just give me the scratch.

- Don't screw it up. - What do you think?

When it's your turn, the two of you will sing like

the tabernacle choir.

Just get it done right. Okay, old man?

Hey, when are you two getting married?

That's Assistant Coach Vince to you.

You know, it's just unbelievable.

The ratings you guys are getting,

it's like nothing we've ever seen before.

And the merchandise, we have not seen numbers like that

since the Dream Team of '92.

Well, I mean, look, we're just...

We're... we're happy to... to play our part.

Hey, didn't you say you used to play hockey?

I did, yeah. But I mean, that was like a lifetime ago.

You gotta meet one of our star hockey players, Kelly.

Kel, I call her, Kel. Uh, have you met...?

Rickey.

- Oh, you already know him? - Yeah. I thought I did.

Um, actually, we... we... Kelly and I go way back.

She used to work out in my hometown.

Okay, great.

Um, I'll leave you guys to get uh, reacquainted.

Excuse me.

When I saw you on TV, I thought I was hallucinating.

Uh, yeah.

I'm... I'm still a little shocked myself.

Yeah, I don't know how you guys did it.

People train their entire lives to get into the games.

I mean, it's curling.

Mm.

Doesn't really take superhuman abilities to do it.

Yeah, no.

I've s... I've seen you guys and your little brooms.

It's pretty impressive.

They're not little brooms.

- They are. - They're quite average size.

Okay. Yeah, sure.

No, I mean, it wasn't hard. I just...

I got Bobby and Hank involved, and we wrangled up uh,

Uncle Jerry and my dad's the coach.

- Wow. - Mm-hmm.

It's a family affair.

Yeah.

Uh, wasn't your dad living in France?

If uh, San Quentin's in France, then, yes.

Uh, he... he um, recently got out of prison.

Prison?

- Okay. - You didn't tell me...

That's just a little tidbit that I...

I was uncomfortable sharing with you.

Okay?

I... I didn't exactly have a cookie-cutter life growing up.

And I'm sorry. I was... I was embarrassed.

I got your note, Rick.

My...

I thought I saw you outside that window that night

and I ran outside, but you were gone.

Oh.

But I... I found your note.

Really?

And I knew it was you, because you misspelled

almost every word.

- Almost. - I did?

- Yeah. - Really?

- It was that bad? - Yeah, but it was sweet.

- Oh. - I did like it.

I just, I really wanted you to know who I am.

Well, I'm starting to believe you.

Good.

Oh, my God. Okay, if I have to do another interview I'm gonna lose it.

Okay?

I'm gonna go insane. Can we just go somewhere, please?

Just like, let's just get outta here.

- Really? - Yes. Absolutely.

Are you sure your fans won't mind?

- What? - I don't...

They'll get over it. Okay?

I'll... I'll s... sick 'em on Uncle Jerry. He'll love it.

Okay.

Yeah? Yes.

Okay.

I will go tell my team. I'm gonna head out for a second.

All right. I'll be... I'll be right here.

Okay.

Hey, Rick.

I need you to come outside and talk to me for a second.

No. There's no way.

I'm not fucking doing it.

Look, I know you're upset and you got every right to be.

You can't say no to these guys.

Or what? What are they gonna do, Pop?

Well, first off,

they're probably gonna slit my throat

with you watching, and then they're gonna go to work on you.

- And I mean go to work on you! - In fr...

in front of all these fucking people?

They're gonna clip us at the World Games. Really?

Rickey, without a doubt.

Look, I know it sucks, but there's a bit

of a silver lining, okay?

Plow King wants you to have this.

Now, you can split it with the boys or keep it all

to yourself.

It takes the sting away.

I didn't come all this way to let some fucking greaseball

tell us what we...

Holy shit, that's a lot of money.

That's right.

Every bit of that money is yours.

Sometimes you gotta be selfish.

What about the guys?

We're turning our backs on the guys with this.

What are you talking about turning your backs?

These guys are having the time of their lives

and it's all because of you.

You gotta think about yourself now, Rickey.

All right?

So, you don't end up with your face on a cereal box,

but you're taking this team further than anybody

ever thought you could.

A silver medal?

You're still gonna end up a hero to the American people

and you get to go home with a bag full of scratch.

I hate it too, kid. I hate it, too.

- I'm sorry. - No, you know what? Just...

Ah, fuck. I'll see you out on the ice.

Hey, Kel.

Oh, hey, Coach Vince.

You having a good time?

Yeah. I was just gonna head out.

I'm getting pretty tired.

Yeah, no, me too, right?

Yeah.

Hey, did I see you talking to that big curling star?

Uh, Rickey Rhodes, right?

Yeah.

Love those guys.

Everything they're doing this year, so impressive.

And Rickey, I'm... I'm just such a big fan.

Matter of fact, I... I just saw him.

Oh, really? 'Cause I was just with him, like a few seconds ago.

Oh, well, he was talking to a couple of hotties with bodies,

you know what I mean?

Oh, actually as a matter of fact, here they are.

Can't all be 10s like them, right?

Hey, ladies, have you seen that big curling star, Rickey...

Rickey Rhodes?

- Mm-hmm. - Oh, my God, he's so hot.

His middle name should be Summer he's so hot.

I know.

We're actually gonna go meet him right now.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

He's gonna show us the whirlpool at the training complex.

We don't even have bathing suits.

But he says we don't need them, so...

Clothing optional. Love that.

Yeah.

- You guys have a good time. - Thanks.

Wait, Kel, where are you going?

I'm sure there's... there's room at the whirlpool, Kel.

Hmm?

Outstanding, freaking flawless. Beautiful.

Here you are. Fight over it.

Wow.

Kelly?

Were you just crying?

- No. - Hey.

I'm okay.

How about a little vent sesh?

All right. Put a little smile on that face.

You ready? Let's do this.

Kel?

Kelly!

Where'd he take her?

Where did who take who where?

You might wanna be more specific.

There are a lot of hers in there.

Do you know what a proper pronoun is?

Okay, but, if you don't tell me where she is,

I'm gonna bash your brains into the fucking sidewalk. How does that sound?

Oh, geez.

I just really hate seeing you feel this way, Kelly.

I just feel so stupid.

Oh, you know, you shouldn't.

You know, you took him for his word,

and sadly, not everyone can be trusted.

I don't know.

It's like a part of a plan or like, a setup or something.

I feel like he's trying to take revenge on me,

because I ghosted him.

Yeah, you know, maybe.

Or maybe he just saw those girls and got distracted, you know?

They can get to a man's head real quick.

Trust me. I battled those demons myself as a young man.

The girls, the booze, the spotlight.

It's hard to turn away when you're just some dumb kid.

Takes a man to know what he's got right in front of him.

You know, if he was fucking smart, he'd be showing you

the whirlpool instead of those two skanks, right?

How'd you know about the whirlpool?

Huh?

I never said anything about the whirlpool.

Well, I just figured he took 'em to the whirlpool.

It's World Games tradition.

Folk law, really.

Nope. Nope.

Nope. Look at what we have here.

I found your friend...

Oh, Rickey, showing those stalker tendencies, huh, bud?

- How was the whirlpool? - What are you talking about?

Where are the girls?

- What girls? - The Hooters.

I have no idea what he's talking about.

What are you talking about?

Oh, Kelly, he's lying to you again.

I'm not lying about anything. I don't know what...

Okay, stop! This is way too much.

Rickey, you came out here to talk to me,

which is really sweet, but kind of crazy

and a little bit of a red flag.

And to be honest, I've been working my whole life

to try to get into the World Games,

and it's been nothing

but bullshit since I've gotten here.

I'm gonna go and I'm gonna focus on myself.

- Let's go. - S... stop.

Okay.

Kel. Kelly.

- Look what you fucking did, man. -

You're lucky that I care about my teammates,

because if it wasn't for them, I would gladly spend the night

in jail for kicking your fucking teeth in.

Oh, yeah? You wanna go to jail with me?

Bet you know what you want to fucking do to me in jail, huh?

Two dudes, one fucking bed?

Yeah, fucking walk away. I fucking won.

Fucking guy won't leave me alone.

Hey, forget about him.

Look, I got that video you wanted.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah? I did good, right?

You did fucking great, man.

That assistant coaching position, that's...

that's locked in, right? That's mine?

Yeah, it's locked in.

It was locked in three months ago when I gave it

to somebody else.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Curling Dome.

This place is jam-packed and ready to rock.

Have you ever seen this kind of fan frenzy for curling?

I can't say that I have.

Then again, there's never been quite a team like this before.

Kelly, can we talk?

Uh, no.

I'd rather zone out if you don't mind.

I really need to tell you something.

Troy, he put me up to some really stupid stuff

and I got caught up in it, because I wanted

to land a position in the pros next year.

I was trying to be something that I'm not,

and it was dumb and selfish.

I'm not proud of anything that I did.

I just really want you to know that Rickey, he's a good guy

and he doesn't deserve any of this.

And the truth is...

When I said I was a fan, I'm like a really big fan.

Really?

Yeah. Rickey's the best.

And Kelly, I happen to have an extra ticket to the finals.

If you want to go, we can still make it in time.

Come on, kid. Do the right thing.

Do the right thing.

I really hope he does.

It would suck to have to kill him.

What? He's a nice guy.

Sorry.

Yo, man.

This has been one unbelievable journey, bro, for real.

Because I never played sports a day in my life.

Like, I always got picked last in gym class

and I never won a trophy.

So thanks for making me feel like a winner, Rick.

Appreciate you, brother.

Hell, I packed it in years ago, you know?

No secret, I was pretty much out of the ballgame.

Just playing out the string, you know?

Thanks for making me feel alive again kid, huh?

We're all proud of you, brother, so you deserve this.

Okay. All right.

All right.

- All right, it's okay. - All right.

If you're done jerking Rickey off, we got a game to play.

Come on.

The ice is frozen, the fans are hyped,

and we're about to get our rocks off.

History will be made.

It's Team Russia versus Team USA for the gold.

You will lose, proper blowing bitch.

You work out? Yeah?

Do a lot of chest?

I never bought that Perestroika bullshit in the beginning.

♪ While the others start to fade back ♪

♪ I was for a life, freaking made that ♪

♪ Will rise up ♪

You can feel the electricity in the air, Katrina.

It's a game of chess on ice for the gold.

Team Captain Ivan Volkov about to deliver.

- And that shot was perfectly placed by Volkov. - Go! Go! Sweep, sweep!

- Yes, yes, yes. Sweep! - Team Russia is all fired up.

And look at that shot, sailing straight down the center line, right in the zone.

A lot of ball game left, boys.

Don't worry about it. Okay?

Yeah.

Nice shot, but should be a breeze

for Team USA to take out.

And this one actually takes Moretti off his feet.

A lot of power on that shot.

A lot of power, indeed.

Keep sweeping. Keep sweeping.

Team USA trying to gain control of the zone.

Oh!

Real mistake by Team Captain Rickey Rhodes,

which gives the Russians an early edge.

That was the first mistake we've seen all season.

That's right, do the right thing, kid. Do the right thing.

Do the right thing.

- Right. - I don't wanna kill you.

Sweeping like shit.

All right, y'all. Let's calm down, man.

Hey, what the hell was that?

It got away from me. What do you want?

You play real good.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

The Russians have a strong position in the scoring zone

as Team USA tries to get something going.

Oh, you hate to see that.

Well, Gus, that's a clear-cut example of a rookie mistake.

Rhodes takes the wrong angle on the sweep

and it's disastrous for Team USA.

See, that's where lack of experience

really becomes a factor, especially

in these big scenario games.

Rickey, what the hell is going on out there?

Get off of me.

You're playing like shit.

Man, you okay? This ain't like you.

You can't hustle a hustler, kid.

You made that shot in practice a thousand times.

What's the big idea?

All right, cut it out. He's having a bad game.

It happens. Come on.

Yeah, they're good. What do you want me to say?

Second place is not that bad.

What?

If we weren't on TV right now, I'd slap you across the face

with these binoculars.

Would you like to try that? Let's try that.

You know what? Maybe I will.

All right. All right. Stop!

Cut the horse shit. Jerry, step up.

Let's go.

Team USA with their backs against the wall.

And another costly miss. This is getting ugly.

Moretti delivers.

Rhodes and Mitchell glide down the ice and Team USA

can't hit the broad side of a barn right now.

Volkov is just having the game of his life.

Look at this shot. Perfect defensive play.

Team USA is on the ropes,

and they just can't seem to find a rhythm tonight.

The Russians have built an iron curtain around the scoring zone.

If Team USA even wants a glimmer of hope,

it'll require a multi-stone takeout.

Yes, two birds with one stone. No small feat, Gus.

No small feat at all.

It's gonna be a finesse shot down the sideline,

put a little English on it.

Rickey, throttle back with the first marker.

No. No way.

Wham play.

Go right up the guts, you bring the heat.

I'll handle the rest.

If you miss, it'll fly off the lane.

Well then, I better not miss then, right?

Bring the heat.

All right. All right.

All right. All right.

Let's go now. Let's go, boys.

Come on, Jerry.

This capacity crowd is deafening

and we can safely say, we've never seen anything like this in the sport.

Is curling a sport?

nThese American fans have really embraced their team,

even as they stare directly into the eyes of defeat.

Now you can see here the virtually impossible path

the stone will have to travel to make the play.

It's a Hail Mary pass with a 7-10 split

wrapped in a hole in one.

Yes, we're a team.

Then trust me and roll out at the first marker.

Look at this. Where is Rickey Rhodes going?

Rhodes has completely abandoned his sweeping position

and we're not sure what's going on.

What the hell is he doing?

Here it comes, down the chute.

Kelly! Kelly!

Is that a legal move? Did you come up with that on the spot?

Kinda just came up with it, you know.

- Excuse me. - Can you just give me a second?

You did it.

I did it all for you. Yeah.

No, you did it for yourself.

What about us? Would you settle for us?

- I can do this. Yeah. - You do, yes.

Heya, Rickey.

Hate to ruin the moment but you gotta come with us.

Okay, listen, listen. No, no, no.

Listen, I'm gonna talk to him.

Your gun is nice.

But ours are much bigger.

I suggest you leave our comrades here alone.

We'll take care of this.

Please let us escort you out.

Lucky shot.

Wh... what was that?

It's a... a long story.

You know, can I just get back to where we...

where we... like, hmm?

Rickey.

Come on, come.

Look, I've got you on a plane leaving in about an hour

to Costa Rica.

Now, I got friends down there that can look after you.

No, no, no. I'm not doing that.

What do you mean you're not gonna do it?

I'm gonna go see him.

For what? So he can shoot you himself?

No, I'm not gonna run scared, Dad.

I'm... I'm gonna talk to him man-to-man,

and... and I'm gonna tell him the truth.

What truth?

That he can go fuck himself.

We're world champions, Dad.

He's not gonna whack a gold medalist.

All right? Listen.

Dad, relax.

It'll be okay.

You fuck him, you fuck him.

Come on, go celebrate, champ.

Yeah? Hm.

I'll be dog, what a lovely day!

Hmm.

So...

did you get laid?

Uh, I... it...

It's nice to have you back.

- So, what are we doing? - What are we doing?

Right at the moment, we're celebrating, brother.

Here's to you. God bless.

Salud.

Uh, so you're... so you're not gonna kill me?

Why would I? You work for me.

You get around, go see people, shake hands.

Go to trade shows, shoot a commercial here and there.

Put it on your uh, I don't know, social media,

all that shit.

Okay.

It's all gonna be good.

We're gonna have fun.

All right?

If you're not having fun, then what's the whole fucking point,

right?

We only get one time around.

It's a short fast cup of coffee, brother.

So make money, but have fun.

You guys want to... wanna get a photo?

Let's do that.

Hey, come on, guys. Let's go, move it.

Step up. Come on, don't be shy.

Let's go.

Whoa, look at this.

What a beautiful family.

Come on, big smile.

Cheese.

Turns out I'm worth more to the Plow King alive

- than dead. - Big smile. Big smile.

Come on.

And when Troy tried to dime us out to the commissioner

and strip our medals for consorting

with known mafia associates, Fridge and Julio paid him

- a little visit. - Oh, you guys are so fucked.

Come here, hockey boy.

That smartened him up pretty quick.

We took some of the money from the endorsements

and rolled it into the Continental Curling Club.

It's a state-of-the-art facility and we have leagues,

classes for beginners, and we just love teaching kids

how to play the game.

You know, give back a little.

Everybody's gotta grow up someday, right?

So it's been almost four years since your gold medal victory.

- Yeah. - How do you stay motivated?

Well, let's just say I have a lot more

Plow King commercial, scene one, take 24.

Mark.

- Thanks. - And action!

Hi, I'm Rickey Rhodes.

I... I was a gold medalist at the World Games.

And when I need to get plowed, I call the Plow King.

Uh, cut.

The line is, "Snowed in", Rickey.

"When I get snowed in, I call the Plow King."

Don't quit your day job, Rickey.

- Thanks, Dad. - Mark.

Bet you didn't know I was an Elvis impersonator

in the early '90s.

911 Hank, baby.

Holler at me.

Hank, I'm so nervous.

Do I really need makeup?

All right.

I'm... I'm Rickey Rhodes.

When I get...

Can I take that back?

Take 57.

DustGlide Deluxe, the official broom of Team USA.

It'll sweep you off your feet.

Oh, that was pretty good.

- Was it okay? - I thought that was awesome.

Hi, I'm Rickey Rhodes.

And when I get snowed in, I call the Plow King.

I don't know what to do with my hands.

Hey, I think I said be live. I think I said be live.

Oh, come on. Put that away. Don't nobody want to see that.

Oh!

He will plow your socks off.

Should I do something different with my hands?

Did the director leave?

Hello?
