00:00:00Camp in Los Angeles.
00:00:02I'm getting another chance early.
00:00:08Camp starts next Monday.
00:00:10Last six weeks, I'll play for big league scouts at the end.
00:00:14You really think you stand a chance?
00:00:16Yeah, I do.
00:00:18I hit over 350 last season.
00:00:20I was division two at a small college.
00:00:221960 games.
00:00:23I can do this, Pop.
00:00:24What about your shoulder?
00:00:26You told me yourself no pro scout would touch you after that injury.
00:00:28I've been doing my rehab exercises morning and night.
00:00:30Come home from a game at night.
00:00:32Couldn't even lift your arm.
00:00:34It's better now.
00:00:36I got to my last year college ball just fine, no problem.
00:00:38Look, it can't hurt to try, can it?
00:00:40Six weeks is too long.
00:00:42I need you here.
00:00:44I was thinking that you could hire Jesse Goodall.
00:00:46I can't afford to take anybody on right now.
00:00:48Oh, Cliff, he's...
00:00:50I'll pay Jesse's wage.
00:00:52How do you aim to do that?
00:00:54I'll get a part-time job while I'm in L.A.
00:00:56Give me a chance.
00:01:00Dad, I've wanted this my whole life.
00:01:26Dad.
00:01:28Dad.
00:01:56I got in.
00:01:58Beto, no way. Congratulations.
00:02:00I'm in for the L.A. camp.
00:02:02My baby boy.
00:02:04Going to the big leagues, huh?
00:02:06Great.
00:02:08Ariana, I got into the baseball camp.
00:02:10You already forget you have a scholarship to college?
00:02:12Yeah, but if I get signed to a big league team at this camp,
00:02:14I won't have to study anything
00:02:16but hitting for average,
00:02:18throwing down to second,
00:02:20and calling games like a boss.
00:02:22I got an order for five bistamales.
00:02:24Not too much of a big star yet.
00:02:26Can you go get me a bag of shredded cheese
00:02:28and some chorizo from downstairs?
00:02:30Yes, ma'am. Anything you say.
00:02:54♪
00:03:24Thanks for your letter.
00:03:26I'm so excited for you back in my new restaurant.
00:03:28So everything's on time?
00:03:30Yes. I'm having the kitchen equipment
00:03:32installed on the 24th.
00:03:34Great. Let's set up a visit.
00:03:36Sure. You can meet me there.
00:03:38I'd love to discuss your thoughts on the menu.
00:03:40We're looking forward to meeting Chef Rodrigo.
00:03:42He will be a part of your new restaurant.
00:03:44Thank you so much.
00:03:46Bye.
00:03:48Bye.
00:03:50Bye.
00:03:52We're looking forward to meeting Chef Rodrigo.
00:03:54He will be a part of your daily operations.
00:03:56No.
00:03:58No, my father won't be involved in the day-to-day,
00:04:00but he is your partner on this, right?
00:04:02He's been incredibly supportive of me my whole life.
00:04:04Good.
00:04:06We're counting on Chef Rodrigo to be there.
00:04:08Yes.
00:04:10♪
00:04:26Iowa, huh?
00:04:28Early Lindstrom. Nice to meet you.
00:04:30Hey, don't mind him.
00:04:32Bit of an attitude, but he's all right.
00:04:34You know him?
00:04:36That's Damon Thompson, second base.
00:04:38He's won some tournaments. Daddy's a big-deal agent.
00:04:40I'm early.
00:04:42I'd say you're right on time, right?
00:04:44Never heard that one before.
00:04:46I'm Roberto Vita, catcher. People call me Beto.
00:04:48What position you play?
00:04:50Shortstop.
00:04:52I hope your game's in better shape than your truck.
00:04:54♪
00:05:02Ugh, so vile, man.
00:05:04Being forced to live in here
00:05:06is definitely, like, cruel and unusual punishment.
00:05:08Home sweet home.
00:05:14That's mine.
00:05:16Oh, looked empty to me.
00:05:18Yeah, well, um, I just told you.
00:05:20It's taken.
00:05:24No problem.
00:05:26Take the top bunk.
00:05:28Good boy.
00:05:36♪
00:05:52You guys ready?
00:05:58Hey, guys, which one's Coach Willis?
00:06:00Probably the one with the name tag
00:06:02that says Coach Willis.
00:06:04Blue cap, the red clipboard.
00:06:06Nice.
00:06:08Let's bring it in.
00:06:12Congratulations.
00:06:14You've been invited here because we believe
00:06:16that you have a real chance of playing pro baseball.
00:06:18During the next six weeks,
00:06:20you'll be drilling, practicing,
00:06:22and playing inter-squad games
00:06:24in order to showcase your abilities.
00:06:26We'll have one cut about halfway through.
00:06:28But by the end of camp, we'll have this roster cut down
00:06:30to two teams that will square off
00:06:32against each other in a final game.
00:06:34That game will be attended by scouts
00:06:36from everybody in the bigs.
00:06:38Quite a few big leaguers have stood exactly where you are today.
00:06:40I suggest you make the most of this chance here.
00:06:42All right, gentlemen,
00:06:44let's see what you got.
00:06:46Coach Willis,
00:06:48I just wanted to introduce myself.
00:06:50I'm Early Lindstrom.
00:06:52Lindstrom, Iowa, right?
00:06:54Yes, sir. Thank you for the opportunity.
00:06:56I want to see what you can do at second base.
00:06:58Second? Uh-huh.
00:07:00If you're short, you can play anywhere.
00:07:02You want to prove him right,
00:07:04you want to prove him wrong.
00:07:10What are you looking for?
00:07:12A small molcajete.
00:07:14The one that I used to...
00:07:16Oh, thank you.
00:07:18Hang on. I want you to taste something.
00:07:20Honey, I'm kind of busy.
00:07:22It'll only take a second.
00:07:24What is that?
00:07:26This is a Mexican paella.
00:07:28This is Spanish-Mexican fusion.
00:07:30I used poblano chiles,
00:07:32Mexican chorizo,
00:07:34and tequila.
00:07:40It's...
00:07:42different. Different.
00:07:44Yeah, it's tasty, but we do traditional,
00:07:46authentic Mexican cuisine.
00:07:48And what about my own restaurant?
00:07:50There's opportunity out there. I'm ready.
00:07:52You're not ready. You're not even close to ready.
00:07:54And how would you know? You never even give me a chance to show you that...
00:07:56Feel free to experiment on your own time,
00:07:58but right now, we've got a lunch rush to prep for
00:08:00and your abuela's birthday tonight.
00:08:18Way behind it.
00:08:20Come on, now.
00:08:22Don't want to do this?
00:08:24Small-town boy like you could get hurt.
00:08:38Yup.
00:08:40Clocked in about 99.
00:08:42Figured you'd never see one like it, you slob.
00:08:44It's the first time for everything.
00:08:54Hey.
00:09:06Hey, farm boy.
00:09:08Better enjoy it. It's not gonna happen again.
00:09:12All right.
00:09:24You don't even know what you just did, do you?
00:09:26That's Blake Barlow, man.
00:09:28The B-train.
00:09:30He was undefeated in Triple-A.
00:09:32He got kicked off for conduct detrimental to the team.
00:09:34And why is he here?
00:09:36Because he's got a hundred-mile-an-hour fastball,
00:09:38which you just took downtown on your first at-bat.
00:09:40Yeah.
00:09:44That's it. Right there.
00:09:46Yeah. Perfect. Thank you.
00:09:48Okay. Sure.
00:09:50Oh, let's get a few more balloons up.
00:09:52My grandma loves balloons.
00:09:54Thanks.
00:09:56Hey, Ari.
00:09:58What's up?
00:10:00I think you dropped this.
00:10:02Thanks.
00:10:04You're welcome.
00:10:06What?
00:10:08Who's it from?
00:10:10No one.
00:10:12Look, you can tell me.
00:10:14I can keep a secret.
00:10:16There's no secret.
00:10:18Give your girls some credit.
00:10:20And I'll go check on the balloons.
00:10:28It's a little early for the Sharks
00:10:30to be circling, isn't it, Taylor?
00:10:32A well-trained eye can pick up on almost everything it needs to know
00:10:34day one of camp.
00:10:36And these baby blues saw a few things they like today.
00:10:38Taylor Doms.
00:10:40My dad's assistant.
00:10:42Junior agent.
00:10:44Hi. Early Lindstrom.
00:10:46Lower Iowa. Shortstop. Career 330 hitter.
00:10:48I know it's not your family's farm
00:10:50that disrupted your college career,
00:10:52but you worked your way back up to top form senior year.
00:10:54She's good, man. I'm telling you.
00:10:56She must be a genius if she knows about farm boy here.
00:10:58Roberto Vida. West L.A.
00:11:00Can consistently throw out base runners
00:11:02and hit for average,
00:11:04but bat strength and play patience is a concern.
00:11:06I'd be more concerned about his reflexes.
00:11:10Dude, bro, you are so done, man.
00:11:14So, you want to be an agent?
00:11:16Oh, I will be.
00:11:18I have a degree in sports management
00:11:20and an MBA from Stanford.
00:11:22And I'll tell you a secret.
00:11:24My passion?
00:11:26It's baseball.
00:11:28Mine, too?
00:11:30The all-American boy.
00:11:32I smell endorsements.
00:11:34Endorsements?
00:11:36See you around, early Lindstrom.
00:11:38Wow.
00:11:40Hey, man.
00:11:42Any chance you can give me a ride to work?
00:11:44I'll throw in dinner at my family's restaurant.
00:11:46I thought you didn't like my truck.
00:11:48Are you kidding me? I love your truck.
00:11:50It's, um, vintage. It's, uh, classic.
00:11:52Family's restaurant.
00:11:54What kind of food do they serve?
00:11:56Now, that right there is the question to be asking.
00:12:02I thought you said it was close by.
00:12:04That was only, like, six miles.
00:12:06It took an hour.
00:12:08Welcome to L.A.
00:12:10Hey, don't sweat it.
00:12:12I've got food in the entire city.
00:12:14Are you cooking me dinner? This is only our first date, man.
00:12:16I'm no cook, but I work as a server sometimes
00:12:18because I got the gift of gab.
00:12:20So who does the cooking?
00:12:22My dad's a chef-slash-owner. He's training my sister, Ariana.
00:12:24She'll end up running the place someday
00:12:26if they don't end up killing each other first.
00:12:28By the way, it's my abuela's birthday.
00:12:30Your what?
00:12:32My grandmother. So the restaurant's officially closed.
00:12:34Private party thing.
00:12:36Oh, dude, I don't want to intrude on anything.
00:12:38Oh, no, you're not gonna get off that easy.
00:12:40Hey.
00:12:42Hi, Beto.
00:12:44Hey, there's my baby boy. How was your first date?
00:12:46Pretty good.
00:12:48Put out a blast from 400 feet on Blake Barlow like this guy.
00:12:50This is early. He gave me a ride.
00:12:52Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Vita.
00:12:54What a place you have here.
00:12:56Please, call me Rodrigo or Chef Rodrigo.
00:12:58I promised him some food.
00:13:00Uh, great. Well, why don't you just take a seat right here?
00:13:02Um, I don't know if Beto told you,
00:13:04but we're having a private party for my mother.
00:13:06Yeah, I didn't want to barge in.
00:13:08Here's a little appetizer. It's a mixed platter.
00:13:10Now you're in for it, okay?
00:13:12I'll take care of you.
00:13:14Enjoy.
00:13:16Where's Freddy?
00:13:18Anyone seen him?
00:13:20I saw him heading out back for his break.
00:13:22That was like an hour ago.
00:13:24I need more tomatillo salsa prepped, like now.
00:13:26I'll find him. Thank you.
00:13:28What's up, Ari?
00:13:30Busy, missing a prep cook.
00:13:32Are you crazy? What are you doing?
00:13:34Mom's orders.
00:13:36Hey, he's, um...
00:13:38You better see for yourself.
00:13:40Okay.
00:13:42Buen provecho.
00:13:44That's bon appetit in Iowa.
00:13:46Wow.
00:13:48Never seen Mexican food like this before.
00:13:50This is real Mexican food from the South.
00:13:52What's all the black stuff on the chicken?
00:13:54That's mole sauce, Comer.
00:13:56Wow.
00:13:58Pretty good, huh?
00:14:00I can't believe you.
00:14:02That is so disrespectful. Get out.
00:14:04Get out of here. I never want to see your face again.
00:14:06Who's that? That is my sister.
00:14:08Hey, hey, hey.
00:14:10You can't cause a scene like that.
00:14:12He fell asleep on Abuela's birthday.
00:14:14I know, but now we have to find a prep cook.
00:14:16We'll just have to hire somebody to work nights, ASAP.
00:14:18I can do it.
00:14:20I'm sorry, who are you?
00:14:22I'm Early. I met Beto today at camp.
00:14:24Thank you, but we're really fine.
00:14:26Do you think you'll have the time?
00:14:28Well, we're supposed to be done at sundown every day,
00:14:30and I really need the job while I'm here.
00:14:32You can come to my kitchen any day.
00:14:34I typically have say in who I work with in my kitchen.
00:14:36Do you have any professional experience?
00:14:38Uh, no, but I'm a really hard worker.
00:14:40You'll be perfect as our temp
00:14:42until we can find someone permanent.
00:14:44And I promise not to fall asleep on you.
00:14:48Maybe we should discuss this.
00:14:50There's no need for discussion.
00:14:52My instinct says you'll be perfect.
00:14:54Trust me.
00:14:58Good call.
00:15:02I gotta take care of this.
00:15:18Looks delicious. What is it?
00:15:20Flan.
00:15:22Custard with caramel.
00:15:24Oh.
00:15:26Ariana.
00:15:28Venga.
00:15:30No puedo ahora.
00:15:32Venga.
00:16:30Let's go.
00:16:52I still can't find the difference coming out of that hand.
00:16:54All right, let me show you something.
00:16:56We're on lunch, guys.
00:16:58Don't you guys have anything better to do?
00:17:00Nothing in the world I'd rather be doing, okay?
00:17:02Just don't swing. Just watch, okay?
00:17:06See that? That's a straight fastball.
00:17:08The seams roll on top of each other, okay?
00:17:12Bottom dropped out of that hand.
00:17:14Right. That's the splitter.
00:17:16Yeah, but how do I know before I swing and hit and miss?
00:17:18Just read the seams, okay?
00:17:20Rotation isn't as tight, and it's gonna break right about here.
00:17:22All right?
00:17:24Take a lab one.
00:17:28Okay.
00:17:32See? That's it.
00:17:34Not bad, farm boy.
00:17:38Not bad.
00:17:46Is there something I can do to help you?
00:17:48Take some time to show you how to do things?
00:17:50Time I don't have right now.
00:17:54There's gotta be something I can do for you.
00:17:56You know what this is?
00:17:58A chili pepper?
00:18:00Chile de arbol. Bold heat.
00:18:02$15,000 to $30,000 on the school bill scale.
00:18:04Has a subtle smoky flavor.
00:18:06How about this?
00:18:08Easy one.
00:18:10I have no idea.
00:18:12Chipotle. It's a jalapeno, ripened and smoke-dried.
00:18:14We have two varieties we use in this kitchen.
00:18:16Mako and morita. Mako has a more intense smoky flavor.
00:18:18Okay.
00:18:20Let me guess. Those look like zucchinis.
00:18:22Those are calabacitas.
00:18:24Onions. Those are onions. For sure.
00:18:26Congratulations.
00:18:28You have now justified my father's hiring of someone
00:18:30who's never stepped foot inside a professional kitchen.
00:18:32Hey, I got one out of four.
00:18:34Okay, so I'm batting .250 out of the gate.
00:18:36That's not bad for a start.
00:18:38Please, no baseball analogies.
00:18:40Oh, you're gathering on a fan?
00:18:42Just don't think it's the end-all, be-all way of life,
00:18:44like some people around here.
00:18:46Follow me.
00:18:55Got another long ball in you today, Nebraska?
00:18:57Iowa.
00:19:18Take him deep again, Lindstrom.
00:19:24Nice.
00:19:34You all right, bro?
00:19:36Get back in the box, kid.
00:19:38What was that?
00:19:40Come here and say that. Come here and say that.
00:19:42Let me go. All right.
00:19:44Okay, fine.
00:19:46Relax.
00:19:49Ice.
00:19:5120 on, 20 off.
00:19:53What's this?
00:19:55Ibuprofen for inflammation. Take it.
00:20:01Actually, you know what?
00:20:03It's not that bad.
00:20:05That's good, Max.
00:20:09Early?
00:20:11There's a fine line between being hard-nosed
00:20:13and being a problem.
00:20:15I know. I'm sorry, Coach.
00:20:17He's been out to get me ever since I hit that fastball.
00:20:19I took a risk bringing you to this camp.
00:20:21Anybody who can work themselves back from an injury like yours
00:20:24doesn't lack character or determination.
00:20:26But what I need is for you to bring that character.
00:20:29Every day.
00:20:33Yes, sir.
00:20:36You won't see any more trouble out of me.
00:20:38Good.
00:20:48What can I do to get Beto to notice me?
00:20:51I don't understand why you're so hung up on my brother.
00:20:54You could do so much better than a baseball player.
00:20:56They're just overgrown children, I swear.
00:20:59Beto's nice.
00:21:01Not the first word I'd use to describe him.
00:21:03He's super funny.
00:21:05And he's so cute.
00:21:07Okay, I don't need to hear that.
00:21:09Look, why don't you just tell him how you feel?
00:21:13Look, why don't you just tell him how you feel?
00:21:17My brother really doesn't have the intellect for subtlety.
00:21:19Yeah, but what if he laughs in my face?
00:21:21Then I have to see him here all the time,
00:21:23and it's just gonna be uncomfortable.
00:21:25I honestly think he'd be lucky to have you.
00:21:31What about you?
00:21:32What about me?
00:21:34You haven't been on a date in, like, a year.
00:21:36In a year.
00:21:38No, thank you.
00:21:39See? I'm right.
00:21:41I'm gonna go check on the food.
00:21:51Excellent camp today, gentlemen.
00:21:53We're almost at the midpoint.
00:21:54Cut day's next week.
00:21:56You're making my decisions real tough.
00:21:58Just the way I like it.
00:22:00All right, get on out of here.
00:22:01Get yourself some rest.
00:22:05Keep the night of cut day open, y'all.
00:22:07Yeah, my dad's annual soiree for the soon-to-be-signed is coming up.
00:22:10Soiree, huh?
00:22:11That's L.A. for fancy party.
00:22:12I know what it means.
00:22:14Beto, make sure farm boy takes a shower.
00:22:16I take no responsibility for his hygiene.
00:22:18If you don't get cut, you're invited,
00:22:20and it's not something you want to miss,
00:22:22from a business standpoint or otherwise.
00:22:27Hey. You coming?
00:22:29Yeah, in a bit.
00:22:30Bro, don't you ever get tired?
00:22:32I bet my ride. He's a robot.
00:22:33I'll sleep when I get signed.
00:22:37Thought I said we were done for the day early.
00:22:39Um, actually, I don't have to be at work for another couple hours yet,
00:22:41so I was gonna see if Coach Tanoff could hit me some grounders in a second.
00:23:10Hey, Mom.
00:23:11Hey, there you are.
00:23:13I haven't heard from you.
00:23:14Sorry, I've just been super busy.
00:23:16How's it going? How you feeling?
00:23:18I'm good. I'm hanging in there.
00:23:20How's your shoulder?
00:23:21Uh, it's fine.
00:23:23It's actually... it's good.
00:23:25Okay, so what's the scoop, honey?
00:23:27Uh, big cut day's coming up.
00:23:28They're cutting almost half the players at camp.
00:23:30Well, I think they're crazy if they cut you.
00:23:32Uh, well, Mom, I got to, uh...
00:23:34I got to go.
00:23:35Bye.
00:23:36I think they're crazy if they cut you.
00:23:38Uh, well, Mom, I got to, uh...
00:23:40start my shift, so...
00:23:41Okay, well, you just better make sure you call me back.
00:23:44I will. Good night. I love you, Mom.
00:23:46I love you more.
00:23:47Okay. Bye.
00:23:49Bye.
00:23:55Hmm.
00:24:01After you wash the produce, place them in these labeled bends.
00:24:04Always in the same place.
00:24:05Forget about the details.
00:24:06With the volume we do, we can't stand to fall behind.
00:24:08Ever.
00:24:11So, your dad.
00:24:12Seems like a pretty cool guy to work for, huh?
00:24:14Let's just say working with family has its challenges.
00:24:19Is that like a pizza?
00:24:20¿Tayuda? Yeah.
00:24:22Like a traditional Mexican pizza. Sort of.
00:24:25Oh, I need some tomatoes and onions diced,
00:24:27if you think you can manage.
00:24:30My dad thinks I'm cut out to take over the family farm.
00:24:32What? He doesn't want you to be some big baseball star?
00:24:35No, he didn't want me to come out to L.A.
00:24:38He doesn't care what I want.
00:24:40Sometimes it's like he doesn't even know who I am.
00:24:47Hold up.
00:24:48Diced. Like this.
00:24:51Speed is good,
00:24:53but precision is better.
00:24:56And try to keep all your fingers.
00:24:58I'll make sure to do that.
00:25:03That's chili de arbol, right?
00:25:05You're learning.
00:25:06I told you. I catch on quick.
00:25:27Hey.
00:25:29Hey.
00:25:31You're gonna break that broom.
00:25:34Just want to make sure everything's completely spotless.
00:25:40Hey, come over here. I want you to try something.
00:25:57Let's see what you think.
00:25:59This is...
00:26:02my Asian-inspired chicken and mole blanco.
00:26:10Wow. I could eat that all day.
00:26:16What? What's wrong?
00:26:17I thought mole was the black stuff.
00:26:19Traditionally, yes, but this is my own recipe.
00:26:21An Asian fusion mole,
00:26:23made with lychee and rambutan.
00:26:26No idea what that is, but it tastes good, so...
00:26:29There's over 50 ingredients in that sauce.
00:26:31Each one in perfect balance.
00:26:33Nope. Sorry, this is mine.
00:26:35At Casa Vida, we share.
00:26:37Uh-uh. This is too good to share, okay?
00:26:42Look, I know you don't like baseball analogies,
00:26:44but it is a lot like this sauce.
00:26:47And the restaurant, too, in a way.
00:26:49What are you talking about?
00:26:51It's all about the details.
00:26:52And when every player on the field
00:26:54is dialed into their roles,
00:26:56it all comes together
00:26:58in a perfect balance.
00:27:00It's a thing of beauty.
00:27:05Anyways, you must sell a lot of this stuff, huh?
00:27:08My father would never let me put this on the menu.
00:27:10Why not?
00:27:11A dish like this doesn't fit his vision
00:27:13of what Casa Vida is all about.
00:27:17And because I created it.
00:27:20Does that sound weird?
00:27:22No, no, no.
00:27:24I mean, I love him, and we're really close, but...
00:27:27But...
00:27:29sometimes he gets in the way of your dreams.
00:27:33Yeah.
00:27:41Ramirez, you're next in the cage!
00:27:45Get under it! Nice!
00:27:47Get under it! Nice!
00:27:49Let's go, let's go!
00:27:50Listen up.
00:27:54Two points for the devastation!
00:27:56Convert, convert!
00:27:59Go up!
00:28:00Bag him! Bag him!
00:28:04There you go!
00:28:05All the way around!
00:28:06That cutoff, man!
00:28:12Let me see some care!
00:28:13Watch your spacing out there!
00:28:18Come on.
00:28:25I thought you were my father.
00:28:27He's not in yet.
00:28:28What is that?
00:28:40What do you think?
00:28:41This is fantastic.
00:28:43Yeah?
00:28:44Yeah, but I thought your dad shot down
00:28:45the idea of a fusion page on our menu.
00:28:47This is something I'm doing on my own.
00:28:49On your own?
00:28:52Your own restaurant!
00:28:54You have to promise me,
00:28:56promise me you won't tell anyone.
00:28:58Especially my father.
00:29:01This is so amazing!
00:29:12Hey, you done for the day?
00:29:14Taking a break.
00:29:19Here's Early's check.
00:29:25How's it working out with Jesse?
00:29:27He ain't half the worker Early is.
00:29:30Well, he's got his big cut day soon.
00:29:32He sounds really good on the phone.
00:29:39He asked about you again.
00:29:41He doesn't need any advice from me.
00:29:44Cliff, you're his father.
00:29:45Marlene, please don't expect me to cheer him on
00:29:48while he cripples himself over some pipe dream.
00:29:50I can't do it.
00:29:52You remember when he was born?
00:29:55When it was our dream to have a farm
00:29:58and something of our own?
00:30:04Early just wants something of his own, too.
00:30:14No, you're still over it. You're lunging.
00:30:16Head down, eyes down, through the ball.
00:30:23Dude, you tattooed that one!
00:30:25Up and better with this breaking ball?
00:30:27Yeah, it's coming along.
00:30:28How long are you guys staying?
00:30:30Not for very much longer,
00:30:32unless you want to let me pull my truck out here
00:30:34and hit the headlights.
00:30:35Early, I've seen your truck.
00:30:37No way I'm going to let you park it on my field.
00:30:39Whoa!
00:30:40Hey, man, coach is bagged on you, bro.
00:30:44All right, one more.
00:30:49Here you guys are.
00:30:51She will be over with your drinks.
00:30:55Here you go.
00:30:56Are you guys ready to order?
00:30:57All right, people, keep it up.
00:30:58We got this.
00:30:59Ernie, here are my specials.
00:31:01Thank you very much.
00:31:03How we doing out there, Nikki?
00:31:04Happy people, empty plates.
00:31:05That's what I like to hear.
00:31:14Early.
00:31:16Hey, did I forget something?
00:31:17No, just your hat.
00:31:19Oh, thank you.
00:31:20My brain must be fried.
00:31:26You've been doing a good job.
00:31:29I wasn't sure about you at first,
00:31:31but I really appreciate your hard work.
00:31:34I appreciate the opportunity.
00:31:36And the free food.
00:31:37Hey, would you maybe want to go out with me sometime?
00:31:44Excuse me?
00:31:47I'd just like the chance to get to know you, that's all.
00:31:56I make my run to the mercado in the morning.
00:31:58The mercado?
00:31:59Market.
00:32:00Okay, all right.
00:32:01I make my run to the mercado in the morning.
00:32:04The mercado?
00:32:05Market.
00:32:06Okay, all right.
00:32:07To purchase some ingredients for the restaurant.
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:10Great, yeah, tomorrow's perfect.
00:32:12No practice tomorrow.
00:32:13But it's not a date.
00:32:15Technically, you're working, assisting me.
00:32:18Got it.
00:32:19Tomorrow.
00:32:20Tomorrow.
00:32:22Good night.
00:32:23Good night.
00:32:33You want to let me in on the joke?
00:32:36When we were kids,
00:32:37we used to tell Beto that monsters lived down the alley.
00:32:41And somebody would always hide in the dumpster,
00:32:43and then when he'd go by, they'd jump out and scream.
00:32:47Beto would run home crying to papa every single time
00:32:50until he was about 14.
00:32:52You're his older sister.
00:32:53Aren't you supposed to be protecting him from monsters?
00:32:55You don't have any siblings?
00:32:56Only child.
00:32:57I can tell.
00:33:00Beto's a total daddy's boy.
00:33:02My mother passed away when I was eight.
00:33:04Beto was only four.
00:33:05I don't know what I'd do without my mom.
00:33:09What?
00:33:10Nothing, it's...
00:33:12It's sweet.
00:33:13That's all.
00:33:18They have the best fresh produce in town.
00:33:21Here, buy these for me.
00:33:29Thanks.
00:33:33Nervous about cut day?
00:33:35Oh, so now you want to talk about baseball.
00:33:37Not at all.
00:33:38What do you have against the game?
00:33:40It's just always been shoved down my throat, you know?
00:33:42It's all papa and Beto ever talk about.
00:33:45Now my brother's about to pass up a serious scholarship
00:33:47to a good college because he'd rather play ball.
00:33:50Like he's going to be some big star.
00:33:52Pride and joy.
00:33:54And I'm just... there.
00:33:59I honestly don't see why you all like it so much.
00:34:02For me, being on that field, it's like
00:34:04having your heart thumping so fast
00:34:07it's about to burst out of your chest
00:34:08but being completely at peace at the same time.
00:34:11So why doesn't your father want it for you?
00:34:13He's just scared.
00:34:14Scared?
00:34:15That I'll get hurt.
00:34:16What, like get by a pitch?
00:34:17No, um...
00:34:18I had a pretty bad shoulder injury a few years back.
00:34:21He thinks if I get hurt, I won't be able to play baseball
00:34:25and then I won't be able to help him on the farm either.
00:34:27But what he doesn't understand
00:34:29is that this is my life.
00:34:35I want to show you something on the way back.
00:34:49What is this place?
00:34:58Ariana's Mexican Fusion.
00:35:00Wow.
00:35:02My restaurant.
00:35:04My father made it pretty clear he wouldn't support me, so...
00:35:08I'm doing it on my own.
00:35:09Fusions, that's like the Asian mole stuff, right?
00:35:12Fusion cuisine is a blending of culinary traditions,
00:35:14different styles and cultures.
00:35:17Here's the menu.
00:35:21To me, it's part of the evolution of the culinary arts.
00:35:24How traditions continue to grow by influencing each other.
00:35:27This would allow me to be creative in my kitchen every day
00:35:30and to establish my own voice as a chef.
00:35:33I'm impressed.
00:35:35But won't you have to tell your dad eventually?
00:35:37I'm waiting until I close my investors,
00:35:39but it's basically a done deal.
00:35:41And I put all my savings into it, so...
00:35:44I'm all in.
00:35:47Thank you for showing me.
00:35:50And trusting me.
00:35:55We should get back.
00:35:56Yeah.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:36:14Let's go.
00:36:16Let's get a taste.
00:36:18Hey!
00:36:19Get out there.
00:36:33Gentlemen.
00:36:39Congratulations.
00:36:41Y'all worked very hard.
00:36:43You played the right way.
00:36:45Now, whether or not you made the cut,
00:36:46whether or not you're going to continue with us on here at camp,
00:36:49I want you to know that I am proud of each and every one of you.
00:36:53I wish you the very best.
00:37:04It's me, baby.
00:37:05I'm in.
00:37:06Damon, where you at?
00:37:07Right there.
00:37:08Awesome. I got in.
00:37:09Early?
00:37:14Sweet.
00:37:16Just give me a second.
00:37:17All right.
00:37:18All right.
00:37:20Thanks, man.
00:37:21Early.
00:37:24All right.
00:37:25Let's do it.
00:37:28I want you to know,
00:37:29if I could keep one more player,
00:37:30it'd be you.
00:37:31You don't have to say anything, Coach.
00:37:32Nah, nah.
00:37:33I mean it.
00:37:34You were my toughest cut.
00:37:35Heart and leadership, you're top of the list.
00:37:38It's just after talking with the medical staff.
00:37:40I just really wonder
00:37:41if your shoulder could hold up to a pro baseball grind.
00:37:46Thanks for the opportunity, Coach.
00:37:59It's true.
00:38:00Let's go.
00:38:01Here I am.
00:38:05All right.
00:38:06Come on.
00:38:07All right.
00:38:27Hey, farm boy.
00:38:28Think fast.
00:38:32Congratulations, man.
00:38:33Nah.
00:38:34Congratulations to you.
00:38:35What are you talking about?
00:38:36I just talked to Coach.
00:38:38Looks like you're back in.
00:38:39Don't mess with me, man.
00:38:40Not today.
00:38:41Come on.
00:38:42I'm not messing.
00:38:43You're back in.
00:38:45I gave up my spot.
00:38:46What?
00:38:47Why?
00:38:51You okay with riding around
00:38:52in broken down buses?
00:38:54Sleeping in roadside motels
00:38:55between minor league ballparks
00:38:56for four, five years
00:38:58before getting to the bigs?
00:39:00Sounds like heaven in a jar, yeah.
00:39:02Maybe to you.
00:39:03Me?
00:39:04I'll take the hotel suite
00:39:06and the private jet.
00:39:08The agent life.
00:39:10I've decided to go work with my dad.
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:16Easy, easy, easy.
00:39:17You act like I'm doing you a favor.
00:39:19I'm still gonna be making seven figures
00:39:21while you're floating around
00:39:23playing for crowds of hundreds
00:39:24in places like Portland or Des Moines.
00:39:27Hey, Des Moines is a top notch city.
00:39:29Yeah, I'll take your word for it.
00:39:31I'm glad you're not leaving Nebraska.
00:39:32You still gotta show me
00:39:33how to hit that breaking ball.
00:39:36For real, man.
00:39:38You're made for this.
00:39:40I can't thank you enough, man.
00:39:42Just play your heart out.
00:39:43That's all the thanks I need.
00:39:50I won't let you down.
00:39:54If I can have your attention.
00:39:56A toast to my baby boy
00:39:57taking this next step.
00:39:59A toast to my baby boy
00:40:00taking this next step
00:40:01on the way to the big leagues.
00:40:06And to Early,
00:40:07a great new addition to our familia,
00:40:08who made the team as well.
00:40:12Made it by the skin of my teeth.
00:40:14Hey, say hi to Alice.
00:40:16Congratulations.
00:40:20Hey, bro.
00:40:22We better get to the party.
00:40:24I got a tie for you.
00:40:25I'm actually scheduled to work tonight.
00:40:27You're kidding me, right?
00:40:28Well, I could check with my supervisor.
00:40:32Just this once, I suppose.
00:40:38Well, now I'll really never
00:40:39have a chance with Beto.
00:40:41Baseball stars
00:40:42only want to date supermodels.
00:40:44Thanks, boss.
00:40:58Hey, what's up, man?
00:40:59Try not to put the clutch down
00:41:00all the way,
00:41:01because you might get stuck.

00:41:37Just give me a minute.
00:41:52Gentlemen,
00:41:53can I offer you something to drink?
00:41:54Oh, thank you.
00:41:55You're welcome, sir.
00:41:58We're at the party.
00:42:05Gentlemen,
00:42:06glad you could make it.
00:42:08This is my dad,
00:42:09Dante Thompson.
00:42:10Mr. Thompson.
00:42:12Thank you for having us, sir.
00:42:13See anybody you recognize?
00:42:16Looks like
00:42:17half the all-star team is here.
00:42:18That's because
00:42:19half the all-star team
00:42:20are my dad's clients.
00:42:21That may be,
00:42:22but tonight
00:42:23this party's all about you guys.
00:42:25Here's to your
00:42:26continued success
00:42:27and prosperity.
00:42:29I just want to say, sir,
00:42:30what Damon did for me today is...
00:42:31Aw,
00:42:32his heart hasn't been in it
00:42:33since high school.
00:42:34Dad.
00:42:35You just need to get a taste
00:42:36of what it's really like,
00:42:37the level of commitment it takes
00:42:38to be a pro ball player.
00:42:39Make me better agent someday.
00:42:41All I know is I gotta be
00:42:42on that field as much as I can.
00:42:43See?
00:42:44That's it.
00:42:45All you have to want to do
00:42:46is eat, drink,
00:42:47and sleep baseball.
00:42:48I prefer to eat sushi
00:42:49and drink champagne.
00:42:51I've always had more
00:42:52of a proclivity
00:42:53for the business side myself,
00:42:54but I do look forward
00:42:55to working closely
00:42:56with my number one son.
00:42:58As for you, Early,
00:42:59from what Damon and Taylor
00:43:00have been telling you...
00:43:01My ears are ringing.
00:43:02Why don't you let Taylor
00:43:03show you around?
00:43:04Get yourself something to eat.
00:43:05Yes, sir.
00:43:09Just got an interesting voicemail.
00:43:13That was Early.
00:43:16Did he get cut?
00:43:19No, he didn't.
00:43:21Really?
00:43:22Yeah.
00:43:23He's celebrating
00:43:24at some big Ritzy match
00:43:25from right now,
00:43:26and he's gonna be playing
00:43:27for the big league scouts
00:43:28at the end of the month.
00:43:30Good.
00:43:31So impressive.
00:43:32I'm happy for him.
00:43:36Really, I am.
00:43:38I know it's a long way to go
00:43:39before he signs
00:43:40any pro ball contracts,
00:43:41that's all.
00:43:42All he ever wants
00:43:43is for you to be behind him.
00:43:44Don't you think I want to?
00:43:46I think if you did,
00:43:47you would.
00:43:48Marlene,
00:43:49you just don't get it.
00:43:50If this holds up high like this...
00:43:55He is stepping into a world
00:43:57where they chew you up
00:43:58and they spit you out
00:43:59like you're nothing.
00:44:00And this is how I think
00:44:01he's really gonna get hurt.
00:44:03I'm not talking about
00:44:04his shoulder anymore.
00:44:12I don't know.
00:44:14Ooh, rabbit food.
00:44:16I was thinking
00:44:17the same thing.
00:44:18Here,
00:44:19try this little protein blast.
00:44:21Open up.
00:44:23Can I tell you something?
00:44:26I have big plans for you.
00:44:29I don't know
00:44:30the first thing
00:44:31about any of this stuff.
00:44:32What stuff?
00:44:33The business,
00:44:34the money, the deals,
00:44:35anything that happens
00:44:36off the field.
00:44:37That's why I'm here.
00:44:43Better not let
00:44:44Blake Arlo get to you.
00:44:46When you get to the bigs,
00:44:47he's gonna be there
00:44:48waiting for you.
00:44:49You do realize
00:44:50I just almost got cut, right?
00:44:52The coach was just spooked
00:44:53by your injury.
00:44:54But you're young.
00:44:55I've seen players
00:44:56come back from way worse
00:44:57and go on to have
00:44:58lucrative careers.
00:45:00The sky's the limit
00:45:01for what we could do together
00:45:02early, Lindstrom.
00:45:19I love you.
00:45:50Uh, guys, can you
00:45:51give us a minute?
00:45:52Take a break.
00:45:53Yeah.
00:46:05What's this?
00:46:07I was gonna tell you.
00:46:08Tell me what?
00:46:09I don't know.
00:46:10I don't know.
00:46:11I don't know.
00:46:12I don't know.
00:46:13I don't know.
00:46:14I don't know.
00:46:15I don't know.
00:46:16I don't know.
00:46:17I don't know.
00:46:18Tell me what.
00:46:21It's my menu.
00:46:23For my restaurant.
00:46:24What?
00:46:25Restaurant?
00:46:28What are you talking about?
00:46:29I rented some space,
00:46:31and I purchased
00:46:32some equipment,
00:46:34and I got some investors
00:46:35on board,
00:46:36and I plan to open
00:46:37sometime next month.
00:46:38How could you just
00:46:39go out and do something
00:46:40like this without
00:46:41a word?
00:46:43I tried.
00:46:45I tried so many times, Papa.
00:46:48And all I ever got from you
00:46:49was, you're not ready.
00:46:50Because I'm right.
00:46:51You're not.
00:46:52Who are these investors?
00:46:54Do you have a lawyer?
00:46:55What have you signed?
00:46:56I know what I'm doing.
00:46:58Believe it or not,
00:46:59I can actually do something
00:47:01on my own without you
00:47:02hovering over my shoulder.
00:47:05You betrayed me.
00:47:15Yes!
00:47:16Way to go, farm boy.
00:47:45Oh, I got it here.
00:47:53Okay, I'll go get the rest.
00:48:15Thanks for all your
00:48:16hard work, Hurley.
00:48:17It's been a real pleasure
00:48:18having you here.
00:48:19Thanks, Chef Arrigo.
00:48:21Have a good night.
00:48:45Everything okay?
00:48:53My father...
00:48:55He...
00:48:56Hey.
00:48:59Hey, it's okay.
00:49:01It's not.
00:49:05It's okay.
00:49:08He hates me.
00:49:15I've never seen him
00:49:16upset like that before.
00:49:18Hey, have some faith.
00:49:19Okay?
00:49:20He'll come around.
00:49:21It's just gonna take him
00:49:22some time, that's all.
00:49:26Okay.
00:49:28I'm gonna finish up, all right?
00:49:34I don't know where you
00:49:35get all this energy from.
00:49:36I didn't have much left
00:49:37in the tank when camp
00:49:38got out today,
00:49:39but I found some more
00:49:40energy when I thought
00:49:41about coming back.
00:49:42Maybe you found some more
00:49:43energy when I thought
00:49:44about coming here
00:49:45and seeing you.
00:49:51Forget the room.
00:49:54If you have some more energy,
00:49:56let's put it to better use.
00:49:58Come on.
00:50:12Um...
00:50:14I am not a dancer.
00:50:16Everyone can dance.
00:50:17No, no, no.
00:50:18Not this guy.
00:50:22You're athletic.
00:50:23You can do it.
00:50:24Just relax.
00:50:29See?
00:50:31Okay.
00:50:33All right.
00:50:35Okay.
00:50:37I'm sorry.
00:50:38I am awful at this.
00:50:42It's a normal slow dance
00:50:43that I can do.
00:50:45Oh.
00:50:46Can you show me some moves?
00:50:47I wouldn't go that far.
00:51:10All right.
00:51:13All right.
00:51:15All right.
00:51:19All right.
00:51:32All right.
00:51:42Two bags.
00:51:46And one bag each.
00:51:51You got it, boss.
00:51:58You're an expert now.
00:51:59I had the best teacher.
00:52:01Kind of cute, too.
00:52:05Maybe one day
00:52:06I can show you
00:52:07how to rope a steer
00:52:08at a curveball.
00:52:09Maybe the steer,
00:52:10but no baseball.
00:52:12Gotta keep an open mind.
00:52:13You ever go see
00:52:14your brother play?
00:52:15Are you kidding me?
00:52:16My dad used to make me
00:52:17go to every single
00:52:18one of his games growing up.
00:52:19I got so burnt out.
00:52:21Well,
00:52:22maybe one day
00:52:23he can come see me play.
00:52:24If you're lucky.
00:52:35Postcard for your parents?
00:52:37Yeah.
00:52:38I'd like to ask them
00:52:39one more time
00:52:40if they might come out
00:52:41Then why don't you?
00:52:42That doesn't
00:52:43ever happen.
00:52:44My dad, he's just...
00:52:48This one.
00:52:49Right here.
00:52:52That's my city.
00:53:03Thanks.
00:53:05You got it.
00:53:11Thanks.
00:53:20You all right?
00:53:21Yeah, I just...
00:53:24What?
00:53:26I just feel lucky,
00:53:27that's all.
00:53:29No, no, no, no, no.
00:53:30You're still whipping it
00:53:31like you're throwing
00:53:32from the hole and short.
00:53:33I mean, there's a reason
00:53:34I moved you to second.
00:53:35I thought it was just
00:53:36because camp was loaded
00:53:37with shortstops.
00:53:38You got a better chance
00:53:39of making it to second.
00:53:40That's where you can
00:53:41maximize your potential.
00:53:42So you think I have potential?
00:53:43Not really.
00:53:46I...
00:53:47I don't know.
00:53:48I don't know.
00:53:49I don't know.
00:53:50I don't know.
00:53:51I don't know.
00:53:52I don't know.
00:53:53I don't know.
00:53:54I don't know.
00:53:55I don't know.
00:53:56I don't know.
00:53:58Coach, I, uh...
00:54:00I really appreciate
00:54:01you doing this for me.
00:54:03All I'm doing is talking.
00:54:13So?
00:54:14What do you think?
00:54:16It's gorgeous.
00:54:18Totally.
00:54:19Oh, this is so exciting.
00:54:22I'm thinking about
00:54:23putting like five tables
00:54:24along this wall here.
00:54:25It's going to be
00:54:26so great, Ari.
00:54:28It really is, but...
00:54:30What?
00:54:31How's it going with your dad?
00:54:33He won't even look at me.
00:54:37It's getting late.
00:54:38Investors should be
00:54:39here by now.
00:54:40Maybe you should
00:54:41give him a call.
00:54:42Yeah.
00:54:43I'll try again.
00:54:52Hey.
00:54:53It's Arianna.
00:54:54Hey, Arianna.
00:54:55I'm here.
00:54:56Are you guys still
00:54:57coming down today?
00:54:58No, I'm sorry.
00:54:59We can't make it.
00:55:00We checked the quarterlies
00:55:01and it's too risky.
00:55:02What?
00:55:03Yeah.
00:55:04I hope you understand.
00:55:05We really wish you the best.
00:55:06Good luck.
00:55:07Okay?
00:55:08Okay.
00:55:09Yeah, yeah.
00:55:10No, it's fine.
00:55:11Okay.
00:55:12Bye.
00:55:18Hey, what's up?
00:55:21They're out.
00:55:26They're backing out of the deal.
00:55:30They said I was too much of a risk.
00:55:50Ari?
00:55:51Hey.
00:55:53What are you doing here?
00:55:55Can't we see your little brother
00:55:56play like the old times?
00:55:57I just stopped by to see you.
00:56:00Where's Early?
00:56:04You and Mr. Nebraska
00:56:05got a little something
00:56:06something going on?
00:56:08It's all right.
00:56:09You can tell me.
00:56:10Promise I won't beat him up.
00:56:13Ari.
00:56:15Hey, you okay?
00:56:17I'm fine.
00:56:22Hey, Lindstrom.
00:56:23I've been looking for you.
00:56:24Taylor.
00:56:25Hey.
00:56:26We were just doing some
00:56:27extra work in the cages.
00:56:28That's my number one
00:56:29hard-working prospect.
00:56:30Do you work up an appetite?
00:56:31Oh, I'm always hungry.
00:56:32Oh.
00:56:33Well, how about I give you
00:56:34a break from the dorm food?
00:56:35Chicken and waffles on me.
00:56:36I'm actually working tonight.
00:56:37Working?
00:56:38At Casa Vida,
00:56:39Beto's family's restaurant.
00:56:40Yeah, I'm helping out in the kitchen.
00:56:42That is so adorable.
00:56:44Wow.
00:56:46I think I'm worth
00:56:47more than minimum wage,
00:56:49but I'll take a rain check
00:56:51just this once.
00:56:55Don't disappoint me again.
00:57:08Hey!
00:57:09Wait!
00:57:12Wait, Ariana!
00:57:13It's not what you...
00:57:15Hey.
00:57:25Hey.
00:57:37Ariana.
00:57:42Can I talk to you, please?
00:57:43I'm busy.
00:57:44Just give me a chance.
00:57:45I said I'm busy.
00:57:46It's not what it looked like.
00:57:47I really don't...
00:57:49I really don't want to
00:57:50talk to you right now.
00:57:55Okay.
00:58:01What are you doing here?
00:58:02I was just trying to talk to Ariana.
00:58:03I'm pretty sure she doesn't
00:58:04want to talk to you.
00:58:05Come on, man.
00:58:06Maybe you better go.
00:58:07Yo, I didn't even know
00:58:08what was happening.
00:58:09Seriously,
00:58:10don't mess with my sister.
00:58:13What's going on, guys?
00:58:14I was just trying to talk
00:58:15to Ariana for a minute.
00:58:16Yeah, um, early maybe?
00:58:18Now's not a great time.
00:58:21All right, well,
00:58:22then let's go.
00:58:23All right, well, then I'll, uh...
00:58:25I'll go start my shift.
00:58:26Better yet, why don't you
00:58:27just take the night off?
00:58:45I don't know what's happening
00:58:46between the two of you,
00:58:47but I...
00:58:48I just...
00:58:49Everything.
00:58:51I really don't want to
00:58:52talk about it, Papa.
00:58:53But I know that...
00:58:56I don't...
00:58:58like to see you sad.
00:59:04It's not just early.
00:59:08Talk to me.
00:59:12Que paso, mija?
00:59:14Que paso, mija?
00:59:19My investor's pulled out.
00:59:23Everything is ruined.
00:59:43Hey.
00:59:52Hey, Mom.
00:59:53Hey.
00:59:54I just wanted you to know
00:59:55we got the pretty postcard.
00:59:57Los Angeles is...
00:59:59beautiful.
01:00:00Yeah.
01:00:02Everything all right?
01:00:04I messed up, Mom.
01:00:08With someone I care about.
01:00:10I didn't mean to,
01:00:11but I hurt her.
01:00:13So what are you gonna do?
01:00:15I don't know what I can do.
01:00:17Wow, I've never known you
01:00:18to give up on something before.
01:00:21Especially not something
01:00:22you care about.
01:00:24So,
01:00:25any more thoughts about
01:00:26you and Dad coming out here?
01:00:27I could really use you
01:00:28at the game.
01:00:29I know.
01:00:30It's just your father.
01:00:31He's...
01:00:33It's okay.
01:00:34No, you know what?
01:00:35It's not okay,
01:00:36because we really want to come.
01:00:37But, you know,
01:00:38it's hard for him to just
01:00:39up and leave somehow.
01:00:41Yeah, I know, I know.
01:00:42I get it.
01:00:43It's fine, Mom.
01:00:44I love you, Mom.
01:00:46Bye.
01:01:08Nice cut, lover boy.
01:01:09Making this too easy today,
01:01:10Redneck.
01:01:38Yeah.
01:01:41Come back anytime, sweetheart.
01:01:48Beto, come on, man.
01:01:49I don't need a ride from you.
01:01:51You knock it off
01:01:52and just talk to me?
01:01:55What?
01:01:56There is nothing going on
01:01:57with Taylor and I.
01:01:58Nothing, all right?
01:01:59Whatever, man.
01:02:01You hurt my sister, bro.
01:02:03That can't happen.
01:02:04Brianna is one of the smartest,
01:02:05most amazing people
01:02:06I've ever met.
01:02:08I'd never do anything
01:02:09on purpose to hurt her.
01:02:11You know me better than that.
01:02:12Do I?
01:02:13I hope so.
01:02:15And I hope you believe me
01:02:16when I say I truly care about her.
01:02:19All right, all right.
01:02:20I don't need all gooey details.
01:02:21Seriously, man,
01:02:22I gotta find a way
01:02:23to make it up to her.
01:02:27I know my sister.
01:02:29Gotta give her some time.
01:02:37Well?
01:02:39Well, what?
01:02:42You've been promising me
01:02:43a trip for nine, ten years now.
01:02:48We'll get around to it.
01:02:50And when we do,
01:02:51we won't be going to Los Angeles.
01:02:53He said he needs us.
01:02:55He made it pretty clear
01:02:56when he left here, Marlene,
01:02:57that he didn't want
01:02:58or need anything from me.
01:02:59Oh, my...
01:03:01I'm sorry.
01:03:03I'm sorry.
01:03:04He didn't want anything from me.
01:03:05Oh, my...
01:03:06You are two of the most stubborn men
01:03:08I've ever known in my life.
01:03:13Listen, honey...
01:03:14It really, it breaks my heart.
01:03:16It breaks my heart
01:03:17to see you two at odds like this.
01:03:18I'm sorry.
01:03:19Marlene!
01:03:34I'm sorry.
01:03:52Hey, can you please hear me out?
01:03:55It's my own fault.
01:03:56I should have expected as much.
01:03:57No, Ariana!
01:03:58There's a reason
01:03:59I don't date baseball players.
01:04:00Ariana!
01:04:01It wasn't like that.
01:04:02So, who was that woman?
01:04:03She's some junior agent.
01:04:05She's been talking about
01:04:06taking me on as her first client.
01:04:07And apparently,
01:04:08she wants something from you in return.
01:04:09Yeah, I guess.
01:04:11Hey, maybe she does,
01:04:12but I don't.
01:04:15I can't do this, really.
01:04:18Not now.
01:04:19This isn't the only thing
01:04:20I have on my plate.
01:04:21What's going on?
01:04:22My investor's backed out.
01:04:26I spent all my savings
01:04:27and I maxed out a credit card.
01:04:29We just signed a year's lease
01:04:30to that space.
01:04:33My father was right,
01:04:34and now...
01:04:35He knows?
01:04:37Hey.
01:04:39There's always a way.
01:04:42Not really.
01:04:44Not always.
01:05:02♪♪♪

01:05:16♪♪♪
01:05:19♪♪♪
01:05:27Chef.
01:05:28Curly.
01:05:29Glad you're back.
01:05:30Do you have a minute?
01:05:31Sure.
01:05:32Come on in.
01:05:33♪♪♪♪
01:05:36♪♪♪♪
01:05:38I know it's probably no secret,
01:05:40at this point,
01:05:41how I feel about Ariana.
01:05:42I just want to apologize
01:05:43for any part I had
01:05:44in upsetting your daughter.
01:05:45I had no intention of doing so.
01:05:48You and your family
01:05:49have been so good to me, and...
01:05:51I respect that.
01:05:53But I think I'm just as much
01:05:55to blame as anyone else is.
01:05:58She's so much like her mother was.
01:06:03Beto's been easy for me.
01:06:06I mean...
01:06:07what you see is pretty much
01:06:09what you get,
01:06:10but with Addie...
01:06:11it's like she's always
01:06:14a step ahead of me,
01:06:15except I don't realize it
01:06:17till it's too late.
01:06:19I know it's none of my business,
01:06:21but I think deep down,
01:06:23she just wants to...
01:06:25earn your respect.
01:06:27She has my respect.
01:06:29And I'm sure that's true,
01:06:30but I don't think she'll ever
01:06:32truly know that
01:06:33until she achieves something
01:06:35on her own.
01:06:38Hey, Chef.
01:06:40♪♪♪♪♪
01:06:44♪♪♪♪
01:06:47♪♪♪♪
01:06:56♪♪♪♪
01:07:00♪♪
01:07:10♪♪
01:07:30♪♪
01:07:40♪♪
01:07:50Hey.
01:07:52Hey.
01:07:54How you doing?
01:07:56♪♪
01:08:01What's that?
01:08:02It's paella.
01:08:05Mexican paella.
01:08:08I made it using your recipe.
01:08:12And it's delicious.
01:08:15Why? Why would you do that?
01:08:19Because I'm a stubborn man.
01:08:21♪♪
01:08:29Yeah.
01:08:31♪♪
01:08:35Well, based on my over 30 years
01:08:37of professional experience in this,
01:08:40I've come to the conclusion that
01:08:42Ariana's Mexican fusion
01:08:45is gonna be a huge success.
01:08:49What are you talking about?
01:08:51You're back in business.
01:08:53♪♪
01:09:00♪♪
01:09:07Ugh.
01:09:09♪♪
01:09:14I don't know what to say.
01:09:16You deserve this.
01:09:18♪♪
01:09:21Come here.
01:09:23♪♪
01:09:27I believe in you.
01:09:29♪♪

01:10:47Just gotta stay focused. We stay focused, we'll be all right.

01:11:16Hi.
01:11:18Hey, you coming? Warm-ups in five.
01:11:20Uh, yeah, just a minute, man. I'll be there.
01:11:24So, finally came to a baseball game.
01:11:27You could say I was persuaded.
01:11:30Ha-ha.
01:11:32Is that...?
01:11:34Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on in.
01:11:36Hi. Baby. Aww.

01:11:42Yeah, it sure is.
01:11:45You go out there today, son.
01:11:47I'm gonna show them what you're made of.
01:11:49Okay?
01:11:52Thanks, Dad.
01:11:54Guys, this is Ariana.
01:11:56Ariana, this is Cliff from Marlene Menstrual.
01:11:58Early's told me so much about you.
01:12:00Yes, I've heard a thing or two about you as well.
01:12:02Now I see why.
01:12:04Mom, come on.
01:12:06Would you two like to come sit with me, my father?
01:12:08Yeah, definitely.
01:12:10Yeah, great. Okay, I'll see you guys after the game, all right?
01:12:13Good luck, Early.
01:12:14Good afternoon, everyone,
01:12:16and welcome to the Pacific Baseball Camp
01:12:18East-West Challenge Game.
01:12:20Here's your home team for this year's game,
01:12:22the Westin Arn.
01:12:24You're in for an exciting afternoon of baseball today
01:12:26because the very best young players around the country
01:12:28are gathered here in the California sun
01:12:30to show the world and the Pro Scouts
01:12:32how six weeks of intense workouts
01:12:34have sharpened their game.
01:12:36Each player has received coaching
01:12:38specifically tailored to accentuate their strengths,
01:12:40and you'll see the payoff here today
01:12:42in competition that is as close to the professional level
01:12:44as can be found outside the big league parks
01:12:46around the U.S.
01:12:48So sit back and enjoy the game.
01:12:50This may be your last chance to see these players
01:12:52without paying for a ticket.
01:12:54Whoo!
01:12:56Come on, baby!
01:12:58Come on!
01:13:00Come on!
01:13:02You got it! You got it!
01:13:04Come on. Come on.
01:13:06There you go. Let's get some hustle.
01:13:08Yeah!
01:13:12Play ball!
01:13:14Whoo-hoo!
01:13:18And we're underway.
01:13:20Here's Mark Kocher on the mound for the West.
01:13:22He's a 19-year-old out of Haddon Heights
01:13:24and the rarest of pitchers,
01:13:26the true knuckleballer.
01:13:30Whoo-hoo!
01:13:32Atta boy! Nice pitch, kid.
01:13:38Whoo-hoo!
01:13:44And it's a one-hopper
01:13:46at second base.
01:13:48Early-Lynch makes the catch
01:13:50and throws out the runner at first.
01:13:52One away.
01:13:54Whoo!
01:13:56That's it.
01:13:58Bottom of the second.
01:14:00We remain scoreless with two men on for the West.
01:14:02Let's go!
01:14:04Come on, Early!
01:14:06Come on, Early! You got this!
01:14:08You can do it!
01:14:22Here's the wind-up.
01:14:24Hey!
01:14:26Early swings behind the fastball.
01:14:28Come on, Early!
01:14:32Come on, Early!
01:14:34All right, find a way.
01:14:38Orlow shakes off
01:14:40the first signal.
01:14:42Takes the second.
01:14:44And here's the pitch.
01:14:46Nice shot!
01:14:48It's under the basket,
01:14:50but the hitter has the ball,
01:14:52but runs well for it.
01:14:54And Lindstrom has a stand-up double.
01:14:56Whoo!
01:14:58Yeah!
01:15:00It's two rebbies, baby!
01:15:02Attaboy! Attaboy!
01:15:06Top of the third,
01:15:08and the West is up 2-0.
01:15:14Ready to go.
01:15:18Runner's going.
01:15:20Here's Vita with the throw to second.
01:15:22And Lindstrom tacked it
01:15:24from the outside.
01:15:26What a throw!
01:15:28Yeah!
01:15:30Two-way in the top of the fifth,
01:15:32and Cochert really let the inning
01:15:34get away from him as Blake Barlow
01:15:36steps up to the plate,
01:15:38but the base is loaded.
01:15:42Strike him out!
01:15:48And Barlow really got a hold of that one
01:15:50and it's out of here!
01:15:52Blake Barlow has ripped a grand slam
01:15:54to put the East on top 4-3.
01:15:58You just don't see pitchers
01:16:00do that every day.
01:16:02Yes, sir, Blake.
01:16:04Yes, sir.
01:16:08Here we are in the bottom of the seventh
01:16:10with the East holding on to a 4-3 lead.
01:16:12Let's go.
01:16:14Whoo! Come on, Hurley!
01:16:16Next up, Hurley Lindstrom
01:16:18with two outs and one man on.
01:16:20This is the kind of pressure cooker
01:16:22that tests a young player's mettle.
01:16:24It's late in the game,
01:16:26and it's time for action.
01:16:34Wind up.
01:16:36Lindstrom really crushed that fastball
01:16:38and it's gone.
01:16:42What are you talking about?
01:16:50Way to go, Hurley!
01:16:56All right, two more outs.
01:16:58Let's do this, kid.
01:17:00Let's wrap this up.
01:17:02Top of the ninth,
01:17:04and the East is battling
01:17:06to tie this game up
01:17:08with a man at first
01:17:10and to full count
01:17:12for the batter.
01:17:14Lindstrom fielded.
01:17:16The outback is hooked
01:17:18with a double play,
01:17:20and the game is over!
01:17:26Thanks, everyone,
01:17:28for coming out today,
01:17:30and we'll see you next year.
01:17:52Mrs. Lindstrom?
01:17:54Mrs. Lindstrom?
01:17:56Mr. Lindstrom?
01:17:58Hi, Coach Willis.
01:18:00Well, folks, you got yourself
01:18:02a first-rate young man in there.
01:18:04First-rate ballplayer, first-rate person.
01:18:06It's been a real pleasure coaching him
01:18:08these past six weeks.
01:18:12Um, how is he?
01:18:14Why don't you go on and see him?
01:18:16Okay.
01:18:24Honey, what did they say?
01:18:26Um...
01:18:28They got to get an MRI
01:18:30when the swelling goes down,
01:18:32but the trainer said it was pretty clear.
01:18:34The rotator cuff popped again,
01:18:36and, uh, he said the end of the bone
01:18:38tore up the labrum,
01:18:40and there's likely cartilage damage, too.
01:18:42What does that mean?
01:18:44He said with surgery and hard work,
01:18:46I'll get use of my arm back.
01:18:52But I've never played
01:18:54in pro ball, so...
01:19:00I should have listened to you, Dad.
01:19:02You were right.
01:19:04I wasn't right about anything, Hurley.
01:19:06You followed your dream.
01:19:08You gave your best shot, boy.
01:19:10You never have to live with any regrets.
01:19:12And I'm very proud of you, son.
01:19:16Mom and I are gonna wait outside.
01:19:18Honey?
01:19:20Okay.
01:19:28Well, at least you got to see me play once.
01:19:32You were unbelievable.
01:19:36It's too bad I'll never get on the field again
01:19:38when it counts.
01:19:42Yeah.
01:19:58Sorry, man. Tough luck, bro.
01:20:00That's okay. That's what you have to do to learn,
01:20:02to get better. This is the time.
01:20:04When you're in the bigs,
01:20:06that is not the time to do that.
01:20:08Mm-hmm.
01:20:20Thanks, guys. I'm gonna miss you.
01:20:28Looks like I'm gonna be signing with the Iowa Farmers Association.
01:20:32I'm heading home tonight.
01:20:36Hey, Hurley.
01:20:38It's a tough break, man.
01:20:40Yeah.
01:20:42Not on the cards.
01:20:44I'll grab it.
01:20:46Yeah, thank you.
01:20:58All right, coach.
01:21:00Thanks, coach.
01:21:02Lindstrom.
01:21:04Hey, coach. I just wanted to thank you again for everything you've done for me.
01:21:06Well, you can thank me by sticking around, sir.
01:21:08I've been sitting on a job offer,
01:21:10head coaching position at the university
01:21:12right here in Los Angeles.
01:21:14I just now accepted it.
01:21:16Wow. That's a big camp. Congrats.
01:21:18I could use a hitting coach.
01:21:20Pardon?
01:21:22I'd like to join my staff early.
01:21:24I...
01:21:26You can sleep on it.
01:21:28No reason to rush your decision.
01:21:30I'm sorry, coach.
01:21:32I appreciate the offer, and I'm flattered,
01:21:34but I'm needed back home.
01:21:38Fair enough.
01:21:40Hurley.
01:21:42You've made quite an opportunity
01:21:44here for yourself, son.
01:21:46You need me on the farm. It's okay. I'm okay with it.
01:21:48No. No, you need to do this.
01:21:56We'll be fine.
01:22:08Deal.
01:22:32Hey, Beto.
01:22:34I'm throwing this big party for you,
01:22:36and the least you could do is help.
01:22:38I'm busy.
01:22:40It looks like you're texting.
01:22:42I'm busy texting.
01:22:44Enough, you two.
01:22:46Beto, she's right.
01:22:48Why don't you help Nikki set up the snowboarders?
01:22:52Listen, the more the merrier.
01:22:54We're celebrating you, professional baseball player.
01:23:02Have you heard from Hurley?
01:23:04Last I knew, he was with his parents.
01:23:06I think he's planning to drive them back to Nebraska.
01:23:08Iowa. That's what I meant.
01:23:10When? Not tonight.
01:23:34Dance with me?
01:23:42You've been practicing.
01:23:44I catch on quick.
01:24:04Looks like they're doing well.
01:24:10Okay.
01:24:14Oh, they're so cute.
01:24:16You're cute.
01:24:28I know you said you never want to date a baseball player.
01:24:30So?
