00:00 I've heard that you can't choose where you come from, but you can choose where you go from there.
00:07 I promise I'll be a good boy!
00:09 My life wasn't always like this.
00:12 We got ourselves an Aryan brother.
00:14 Choices I made led me closer to the edge.
00:17 They led me to something I never thought could be real.
00:21 I found you a potential family.
00:23 It's a pleasure to meet you, Jon.
00:27 I told them your story.
00:30 Because this is your only shot.
00:32 And you'll be eligible for adoption.
00:35 To pay a guy like you enough to live like this?
00:37 I thought only athletes and rappers made this kind of dough.
00:40 I'm a specialist in my field.
00:42 Fixing problems others can't figure out.
00:44 I really think you're gonna like El Dorado High School.
00:48 I'll get out here.
00:49 You're embarrassed to be seen with my husband? You are a fool!
00:53 That's my son!
00:55 Anybody know where I can sign up for the parent-teacher conference?
00:58 Stop it.
00:59 Why me?
01:02 Everybody deserves a second chance.
01:04 What do you think?
01:07 Trying to buy me?
01:08 I can teach you how to ride a bike.
01:15 Keep kicking.
01:16 Oh, I got you.
01:17 BMX. It's like the rite of passage for the kids who are out of place.
01:24 Listen up, BMX Nationals.
01:26 It can only take five of you to show if you deserve to be one of those five.
01:29 Did you think it was gonna be easy?
01:33 I'm never gonna be anything just like my father.
01:36 What did you think?
01:37 Eldridge was accused of assaulting a white woman on a college campus.
01:44 So he didn't do it?
01:45 No, he was innocent.
01:46 Eldridge fought his way back, John.
01:48 So can you.
01:49 I can't sit and hold on.
01:52 Can't just sit and wait.
01:54 What's wrong, Johnny boy?
01:55 You ashamed of your family?
01:56 You don't want to do this.
01:57 You know, we looked at hundreds of files of kids.
02:02 And he chose yours.
02:03 He saw kindness behind that hard exterior.
02:06 Breach, baby, breach.
02:09 Stand up, John.
02:10 When things get tough, remember that they told me I'd never have a son.
02:16 I can't just breach, baby, breach.
02:20 (laughs)
