00:00You want some of this?
00:09Come get some!
00:21Atta baby, come on, let him have it!
00:30That's all you've got!
00:34That's all you've got!
00:37It's great to be here in Blue Ridge!
00:45Tonight I win back my Southern Mountain Wrestling Alliance Women's Championship!
00:53Tonight is Kodiak time!
01:00Tonight is Kodiak time!
01:03Tonight is Kodiak time!
01:07If you can't stick to our script, I'm not gonna stick to our deal!
01:25I own you!
01:33You do what I say!
01:34When I say it, and how I say it!
01:37And you, you pack up!
01:41Get out of here, you're through!
01:43I don't care what I said!
01:51I would rather die than let a washed up quitter like you be champion!
01:57Do the job or else!
02:13To find out if we need a help...
02:17Will, I'm Mr. Four...
02:20Of the way there in the rain...
02:21It's something we could grab that...
02:24In the rain...
02:28Here we go...
02:30To find a way...
02:32...round my way...
02:33All right, man.
03:03All right.
03:33All right.
04:03He's sweet to me.
04:03He is nice.
04:04Right, Mom?
04:06You knew about this.
04:08Yes, I did.
04:09And yes, he's a good boy.
04:10Exactly.
04:12And he wants to take me to the wrestling thing tonight.
04:14If he wants to take you, he's going to have to ask me first.
04:21Mom, he has to ask Dad?
04:23That's so old school.
04:26Honey, what about your father doesn't scream old school?
04:29Oh, where?
04:39I believe somebody was killed here.
04:41It's horrible.
04:43Sorry.
04:43I know that can be unnerving.
04:46Thanks for coming out and meeting me.
04:48I thought that Ryan would be here.
04:50I don't think he really wanted to spend his Saturday at a crime scene with his new girlfriend's ex-husband.
04:55And besides, he thought I might be better help.
05:00Why is that?
05:02Well, as a school administrator, it's my job to rent out the gym.
05:06So, um, I gave him a few sets of keys.
05:08The wrestlers could come and go as they needed to.
05:11Did they have, uh, access to the entire school?
05:14No, just the gym and locker rooms.
05:16What about the weight room?
05:19Oh, yeah, that too.
05:22Um, another reason why he thought I might be better help was I actually had tickets to last night's match.
05:27Are you a wrestling fan?
05:29Yeah.
05:30Since I was a little girl.
05:32My whole family was into it.
05:33And now it is my son's dream to one day be a part of the wrestling business.
05:38Barry, right?
05:39Mm-hmm.
05:39I think he's friends with my daughter.
05:41Yeah.
05:41Maddie was over at her house for his 18th.
05:44She's a sweet girl.
05:45She is.
05:46So did the event go well last night?
05:49I, um, waited until it was done and then made sure all the guests were gone and locked up and then left myself.
05:58Did any of the wrestlers stick around?
06:00Most, if not all.
06:01All right, well, tell Ryan that the matches are canceled for tonight for obvious reasons.
06:12What do we got?
06:15Our Vic, Earl Gibson, a.k.a. Earl Jones.
06:18He's the co-owner and promoter of the wrestling company.
06:22I guess it's a federation?
06:23It's Santa Alliance.
06:25Santa Alliance? Not a federation or a company.
06:27You have Southern Mountain Wrestling Alliance, SMWA. It's been around for a while.
06:31Since 1987B, exactly.
06:33Well, if you're being precise, it was found in fall of 86.
06:35Anyways, it looks like he died from blunt force trauma to the back of the head.
06:39From the rigor right here, I'd say the time of death somewhere probably between 10 p.m. midnight.
06:45The fact that you're even part of this conversation, I assume you're the one who found the body?
06:50Oh, well, the schoolhard may come in and claim Jim this morning, huh?
06:53Found him right out of the ring.
06:53Unfortunately, Dwayne bumped it with the buffer.
06:56Unfortunately, he buffed the entire gym, so any chance of finding DNA is gone.
07:00We're not going to find your fingerprints on the corpse, are we?
07:03Oh, I might be telling, but I'm not stupid.
07:07Right there. It's probably our murder weapon.
07:11Contact Dennis Reed from the school and see if it belongs to them.
07:15No, that belongs to the contractor.
07:16The school's contractor?
07:18No, no, the wrestler, the contractor.
07:20Terry Traynor.
07:21He wrestled in the main event last night.
07:23He's a top heel.
07:25Heel?
07:26Bad guy.
07:27I saw him in Chattanooga last year at the big Thanksgiving event.
07:30Turkey Day Massacre.
07:34Best match ever.
07:36You first.
07:38Easy.
07:40The Undertaker versus Mankind 1998.
07:43Cage match.
07:44Mankind takes a huge bump off the cage.
07:47Bump?
07:47Bumps to fall.
07:48The greatest match is WrestleMania 17.
07:50Dudley's versus Hardee's versus Edge and Christian.
07:53Edge spears Jeff off the top of a ladder.
07:55Okay.
07:57Anything else?
08:00I was hanging out after the matches last night to get some selfies from my socials with the wrestlers.
08:04And I heard the contractor and Earl Jones arguing about the money.
08:08I got a legal contract that's binding.
08:13I don't care.
08:15I'm not paying.
08:16The contractor was a real man.
08:24Sounds like motive to me.
08:26Wait for the CSI team to arrive.
08:28Get the contractor and bring him to the station.
08:31Something, sir.
08:32Anything I can do to help?
08:33Stop being involved in every major crime in Blue Ridge.
08:37And everybody knows the greatest match of all time.
08:41WrestleMania 3.
08:43Ricky, the Dragon Steamboat, versus Randy.
08:46My two-man Savage.
08:48Oh, yeah.
08:54You say you have nothing to do with that, huh?
08:56Just because I play a bad guy doesn't make me one.
08:59I realize that.
09:01But we found this next to the body.
09:05You think I'm dumb enough to use my signature prop and then leave it there for you to find?
09:09I've met some pretty stupid criminals over the years.
09:12I left my wrench in my gym bag in the locker room.
09:16Everybody had access.
09:18We heard that you and Earl got into an argument backstage after the match.
09:23We did, but it was a work.
09:25A work?
09:26Part of the shop.
09:28It was rehearsing.
09:29Earl liked to discern himself into the storyline.
09:31It was acting.
09:34It was bad acting at that.
09:35Anybody that heard that and didn't realize it was a work is a complete moron.
09:41So you weren't mad at him?
09:43No.
09:44In fact, I'm the highest paid wrestler he's got.
09:46And I got along with him.
09:48Where everybody else hates his guts.
09:50One of them had to have used my wrench to murder him.
09:53He's trying to frame me for it.
09:55Any idea who that would be?
09:57Yeah.
09:58Boots.
09:58Dirty Boots McRae?
10:01Yeah.
10:02He and Earl got into it yesterday.
10:06You gave me your word that I could retire as champion.
10:10That's before I knew you were nothing but a washroom queer!
10:14Jesus.
10:16Earl stabbed him in the back.
10:17If anybody used my wrench to murder him and was trying to frame me for it, it's definitely
10:24Boots.
10:25Why would you say that?
10:27Because I have what he wants.
10:29Which is?
10:30It's a championship belt.
10:32With everyone having access to the murder weapon, that's not going to be enough to hold on.
10:35It's R.P.
10:38What you got?
10:40The CSI arrived and examined the wrench.
10:42There's a butt on it.
10:44But based on the shape and size of the loon, there's no way it could have been the murder
10:47weapon.
10:48All right, search the gym top to bottom.
10:50See if you can find anything.
10:52Got it.
10:55All the rest are staying at Connor's place.
10:57As far as I know.
10:58You need to search Earl's room, see if you can find a clue who hated him enough to want
11:01to find him dead.
11:13Sheriff.
11:14Thanks for meeting us.
11:16Yeah, not a problem.
11:18Map of the motel, the wrestlers, the rooms of Mark.
11:21We're going to need a key to the promoter's room.
11:24He was actually staying in his RV.
11:26It's parked down the trail there, a little just past the bend.
11:29He said he wanted to feel like he was camping, but I got the sense that he was trying to
11:36keep his distance from the others.
11:42Getting new vending machines from the weights?
11:45You know what they say, keep your friends close.
11:52You know him?
11:53Uh, that's, uh, that's my daughter's boyfriend.
11:58Temporarily.
12:01I think you may have more in common than you know, Sheriff.
12:04Hmm.
12:05Thanks.
12:06You bet.
12:06You bet.
12:25Worth.
12:27Jack!
12:28Freeze!
12:28what's your name hunter lockwood i'm a wrestler never heard of you i wear a mask

12:59we'll be in touch
13:23get this hold back to the station see if you can find anything interesting a lot of stuff to go
13:36through i can't believe i'm suggesting this but get duane to help i want to start interviewing
13:43the wrestlers beginning with boots sure we fought bro was a hothead with a silver tongue we also had
13:58history he and i wrestled a series of iron man matches through the panel in the back of the 80s
14:04got legit heat from him too after that i started performing all over the world multiple major
14:09promotions i headlined three pay-per-views and i was at the top of the card but uh
14:16that all changed the booking slowed down and shows got smaller
14:23then one day earl called me wanted me to wrestle for exclusively what did he promise
14:29small piece of the company plus and more importantly he promised that when i got ready to call it quits he'd
14:36put that world title on me i could retire as champion has that time come i just want to be
14:42with my family you know go to football games recitals prom be able to still walk them down the aisle
14:52but when i told earl all this he broke his word on both accounts
14:58that's what terry saw well terry said that you need to be restrained i'm third generation i love this
15:07business it's giving me everything yeah it's probably gonna be hard but i'm ready i saw your dad wrestle
15:18oh yeah yeah my father it would always take me when the matches came to town and brought a lot of
15:28peace to my life during a season when there wasn't much
15:34look
15:36earl was a slimy promoter no doubt but he was no more slimy than a dozen others i've worked for over the
15:44years and he helped make my career so yes i hated the man but i also owed him
15:55so i would never kill it any idea who would well if you're asking me to name one person i'd say tad
16:03williamson why tad because i wasn't the only one that got into an argument with earl yesterday
16:08i can promise you that's not gonna happen what you stand in my way old man and i'll kill you
16:26see back in the day we had a cold and now it's not like that and tad he wrestles like a punk
16:32arrogant sloppy he doesn't care what he does as long as he gets over worst of all
16:40he doesn't care if anyone gets hurt just as long as he looks good doing it in fact i think he enjoys it
16:51it's not bad
16:56hey
17:01officer covington
17:05it's under mount rushmore
17:12all right stone cold steve austin hulk hogan rick flair the rock
17:18Not bad. Stone Cold, Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Trish Stratus.
17:27Trish Stratus, alright. Yeah, buddy.
17:35What you got? Sheriff, I just found something in one of the wrestler's contracts.
17:54You think I killed Earl? Why is that so funny?
18:01No. Because I'm the face. The baby face. I'm the good guy.
18:06So you can't be the bad guy in real life?
18:09No. What would my motive be? My contract is up next month and I am out of here.
18:14Found a document that said that Earl owned your character and wanted $50,000 for it.
18:18So? So, that's your motive.
18:22Look, I was never worried about that. I just told you I'm going to the big times.
18:26Their lawyers would eat Earl alive.
18:28If that's true, then why did you threaten to kill him?
18:30Man, I was hopped up on Red Bull and Gummy Bears, alright?
18:34It was just locker room talk.
18:35If it wasn't you, who killed Earl?
18:38I don't know. Anyone. Everyone who ever worked for Earl had their reasons, alright?
18:43Although it might have been somebody who wanted to work for him.
18:46Give me a name.
18:47I don't know. Just some kid that had a tryout yesterday.
18:51Shoot on him.
18:52Shoot on him.
18:53Shoot on him.
19:21Shoot on him.
19:23If you can't hold your own with a guy twice your age, you have no place in this business.
19:30Because you're the worst excuse for a wrestler I've ever seen. Pathetic.
19:35It's not unusual for Earl to give some wannabe a tryout.
19:42But there's something that's different, you know?
19:44What he had me do to that kid, it was like he was trying to humiliate him, you know?
19:47Don't leave town.
20:03What's up?
20:04So, for all of Earl's faults, turns out he was an excellent accountant.
20:07One of his wrestlers was giving him back half their paycheck.
20:10Any idea why?
20:12No. Just that Earl was putting in an account called Special Projects.
20:16That's interesting.
20:17Yeah, it gets better.
20:18Turns out that wrestlers wanted him multiple charges, including attempted murder.
20:22What's his name?
20:24Marcus Richards.
20:25I don't remember that name on the list.
20:27It's because he goes by the alias Hunter Lockwood.
20:29AKA Bronco.
20:35I already told you.
20:37I just wanted my final check.
20:39Now you mean half your check?
20:42I can't figure it out.
20:44Was Earl blackmailing you to keep quiet about the attempted murder charge?
20:48Or was he hiding you for a fee?
20:50Oh.
20:51Oh.
20:53Oh.
20:54Please not.
20:55He's possibilited.
20:57lemic lost beg...
21:04Father C.
21:06Let's go.
21:36Shrek, so maybe rather than having to keep paying hush money, he decides to kill him.
22:02Then ransacked the RV looking for evidence that Earl was holding over him.
22:06It lights up.
22:08Except this Bronco guy claims to be tying one own over at Jeremiah's.
22:13You want me to check it out?
22:14No.
22:15I'm already going over there for another reason.
22:17Yeah, he closed the bar down.
22:22Big dude.
22:24He can drink an entire keg by himself.
22:31There's another reason I'm here.
22:33I reckon there might be.
22:37We can talk about the situation between our kids and how we're going to end it.
22:41Who says we have to end it?
22:44I do.
22:47Sheriff, what's the harm?
22:48Your daughter's a nice girl.
22:51My son's a nice boy.
22:53She's safe with him.
22:54She's safe with us.
22:56One thing you know about my kin by now is we protect our own.
23:00And it doesn't bother you that I'm the sheriff?
23:03It would not have been my first choice.
23:07I can live with it.
23:09And you?
23:13Well, at least we arrested someone wanted for attempted murder.
23:17Yeah, we're no closer to solving this actual murder.
23:20We can't keep the rest of us in town any longer.
23:23What if we get him to move tonight's match to tomorrow in honor of Earl?
23:26Like a tribute show.
23:28They don't seem to be too particularly broken up over it.
23:31No.
23:32But their contract stipulates they don't get paid if they don't perform.
23:35So if you need someone to fake a motion, who better than a professional wrestler?
23:39That's true.
23:40Good idea.
23:41Contact the headquarters in Atlanta and see if you can't set that up.
23:45Yes, sir.
23:45So you can figure out who the local guy auditioned for Earl is.
23:49Oh, I think I already know that.
23:51Someone was emailing Earl every day for a couple months requesting a tryout.
23:55Was he harassing him?
23:56No.
23:57More like friendly persistence.
24:00Here.
24:00There it is.
24:02A guy by the name of Barry Reed.
24:05I know a Barry Reed.
24:07Yeah?
24:08Yeah, he's friends with Matty.
24:11Text me address.
24:13I'm going to go check on RP at the school.
24:15Dwayne?
24:19B Dwayne.
24:20After the CSI attack, examine the wound more closely.
24:26Feels like the victim was hit a single time.
24:28Something heavy.
24:29Maybe a couple inches wide.
24:31You searched the entire gym.
24:33And the surrounding areas?
24:34Well, search it again.
24:36And this time, don't look for anything tangible.
24:40Look for something...
24:42out of the ordinary.
24:42Yes, sir.
24:51Hey, I just had a request to reschedule tonight's matches for tomorrow.
24:56They claimed that was okay with you?
24:58Yeah.
24:58So why didn't you tell me that your son auditioned yesterday?
25:04Oh, I'm sorry.
25:06I didn't think it was pertinent.
25:07Is that a problem?
25:09No, I just...
25:10I need to ask him some questions.
25:12He may have witnessed something that would, you know,
25:15help the investigation, is all.
25:17Right.
25:18Um, yeah, I'm pretty sure he's home now.
25:21Thanks.
25:21Thanks.
25:24Genesis.
25:25Completely different topic.
25:28What is your impression of Blade Weed?
25:33Oh, I'm not really supposed to disgust students.
25:38It's fair enough.
25:39But one parent to another, he's a good kid.
25:44It seems to be the overall consensus.
25:46Though I find it hard to believe.
25:50So I hear the tryout didn't go so well.
25:53Ah, no, sir.
25:54Um, I got tossed around like a rag doll.
25:57And Mr. Jones says I don't have what it takes and to give up, so...
26:01So how did that make you feel?
26:02Pretty bad.
26:03Bad enough to do something about it?
26:05No, sir.
26:06No.
26:07Definitely not.
26:08So what'd you do after the matches last night?
26:10Nothing.
26:11I didn't go, okay?
26:12I just, you know, decided I was done with wrestling.
26:16Done with wrestling?
26:17So, uh, it might have changed your mind.
26:21I slept on it.
26:24And I took my mom's advice, but it being just one person's opinion.
26:28And, you know, like she says, every setback is an opportunity for a comeback.
26:31So I'm using his motivation to train even harder.
26:35It's a positive attitude.
26:37Also, I thought about it, and I think at least part of the reason my audition was so poorly
26:42was because of Mr. Jones, so...
26:45How so?
26:46Well, I mean, he didn't reply to my emails for months.
26:48And then he just sends one out of the blue, saying if I want to try out, I have to be at
26:51the gym in 30 minutes.
26:53I don't have time to properly warm up, work into character.
26:58Plus, I think he was kind of taking his frustrations out on me.
27:01Why do you say that?
27:02Well, we take a shot with her.
27:32I don't know.
28:02Mr. Jones started screaming that she was fired after the weekend, and, you know, he's
28:08going on about how he's going to make it his mission to destroy her reputation.
28:13It was crazy.
28:16You stay here.
28:22Max, I need you to conduct an interview at the hotel.
28:25Well, I'm headed back to the school.
28:35Going somewhere.
28:36Earl did fire me, but it wasn't just because of yesterday.
28:44We used to date.
28:47What can I say?
28:49I've always had bad judgment with men.
28:51Earl didn't take it well when I dumped him.
28:54First he made me drop the women's championship, and now he's had me jobbing out to a different
28:57wrestler every night.
28:58I have on one single match since.
29:00Hmm.
29:01So it's fair to say you're not exactly wallowing in grief.
29:04Sure.
29:06But I wouldn't wish this on him.
29:08And the truth is, Earl did me a favor.
29:11By firing you?
29:12I had wanted to leave for a while, but I didn't have the courage.
29:16Life as a wrestler is hard enough.
29:18There's no need for it to be toxic.
29:20Well, you know him well.
29:21Any ideas who else might want him dead?
29:23Let's see.
29:24There's Gemini, the wrestler Earl dated before me.
29:27His rider, who he berated every day.
29:29His business partners, who I'm pretty sure he's hiding money from.
29:32Oh, and every single wrestler who works for him now, or has ever worked for him.
29:37Is that it?
29:39Exactly.
29:42The first time I searched, I was looking for blood or any signs of a struggle.
29:46This time I took your advice, found something different, out of the ordinary.
29:50See all these right here?
29:51Dirty smudges, except for this one.
29:56Spotless.
30:00Yeah.
30:03It's like it's been wiped clean.
30:06Exactly.
30:07Maybe we get lucky, find the killer's DNA on it.
30:10Get with Max.
30:12Collect DNA samples from everyone I've interviewed today.
30:14You send them to the lab with that dumbbell, and get it fast-tracked.
30:20We've kept the wrestlers around another day, but we're going to lose them on Monday morning,
30:24so we're running out of time.
30:26But if you're right,
30:27you not only found the murder weapon,
30:30but you found a scene that crime.
30:34Okay.
30:35Mountaineer's breakfast.
30:37Mm-hmm.
30:37All right.
30:44What?
30:47Blade's a nice boy.
30:49There are nice boys around us.
30:51I guess I'm upset that she's even considering dating without you guys.
31:00You kept it from me.
31:01Well, I'm sorry.
31:04Maddie asked me to keep it a secret, and I felt like I had to respect that.
31:08You know, teenage girls, they're...
31:10They're kind of like deer.
31:12One false move, and they run.
31:15I just want to make sure that she knows that she can come to me about anything.
31:19She used to come to me and talk to me about everything.
31:23Oh, boy.
31:27Mr. Wise, would you mind if I had a moment of your time?
31:39Yes, absolutely.
31:40Have a seat.
31:47Sir.
31:48Sheriff.
31:50I know you don't know me, but...
31:52I think your daughter's great.
31:55I mean, she's...
31:58She's pretty and smart and very kind.
32:03She's awesome.
32:05Um, she's not like the other girls.
32:08She's thoughtful and responsible.
32:11And most of all, she's...
32:13She's nice.
32:15I realize my family's reputation doesn't exactly help,
32:19but I'm really trying to not be like them.
32:22And she makes me want to be better.
32:29So, with your permission,
32:32I'd like to take her to the matches.
32:37If that's okay with you, sir.
32:41So, we collected all the DNA and sent it to the lab.
32:51All the wrestlers, including Barry Reed.
32:55Hometown Barry Reed?
32:57Yeah.
32:58Hometown Barry Reed.
33:00What?
33:04He's terrible.
33:05Hold on.
33:07Look at this.
33:07Face your eyes.
33:12Hey, guys.
33:14My name is Barry,
33:14and this is my audition video.
33:17His suplexes are bad.
33:19He can't punch.
33:21He can't throw an elbow to save his life.
33:25Certainly can't take a bump.
33:29Hurts my eyes to watch.
33:30Why would Earl give him an audition after he saw that video?
33:35Maybe he was trying to be nice.
33:38Doubt it.
33:39I already berated a kid.
33:42Maybe he enjoys crushing people's spirits.
33:47I told the lab about a time constraint,
33:49and they moved us to the top of the list.
33:51That's good.
33:53In the meantime,
33:54I may have caught one of the wrestlers in a lie.
33:56Who?
33:57Remember how Terry Traynor
33:58said he was the highest-paid wrestler in the promotion?
34:02Oh, yeah.
34:03Yeah, he was.
34:04Until recently.
34:05His salary was cut significantly.
34:08Found it when I was going through Bronco's payments to Earl.
34:11It was convenient you forgot to mention that.
34:15It's all the books.
34:17You were the highest-paid wrestler,
34:18but you're not anymore.
34:19I just think it's a little odd
34:22that the champion took such a hefty pay cut.
34:29Okay.
34:31Earl paid me extra to send cash
34:32to three different locations each month.
34:35One in Montana, one in Oklahoma,
34:37and one right here in Blue Ridge.
34:39Why?
34:40I don't know.
34:42I asked him once,
34:42and he told me to shut up, mind my own business.
34:45He was my boss.
34:46What am I going to do?
34:47I thought it was his way of laundering money,
34:51which is why I didn't admit it at first.
34:54It still doesn't explain the hefty pay cut.
34:58A few months back, Earl
35:00had me stop sending cash to the one here in town.
35:03Did he give a reason why?
35:05I wasn't asking.
35:06He wasn't telling.
35:08Do you have an address?
35:08Yeah.
35:21Stay here.
35:22Don't leave.
35:23Got it?
35:24You get the lab results?
35:40I did, but unfortunately our killers
35:42did too good of a job cleaning the dumbbell.
35:44There's no DNA on it
35:45to compare against any of the wrestlers.
35:47Okay.
35:50Actually, I need you to ask them
35:52to fast track one more test for me.
35:54Because I was forced to fix them.
35:55It's easy for me to go to empty surveys.
35:57I can't tremble.
36:14Sorry.
36:16城 ś
36:16your hunch
36:34spot on
36:36let's bring him in
36:46we did a DNA test
36:55and we discovered that Earl was
37:00related to one of our suspects
37:02looking back I remember that you forgot to mention the weight room
37:10and that turns out to be where the murder was
37:13and I could not figure out why
37:17Earl
37:18gave your son an audition
37:20I met Earl
37:2420 years ago when he was still a wrestler
37:27we dated for a while
37:30and when I became pregnant
37:33with Barry
37:33he made it abundantly clear
37:36he wanted nothing to do with either of us
37:38so I raised my son on my own
37:41and it was hard
37:43we barely made ends meet for a while
37:46but we were happy
37:47and then I found out Earl had bought SMWA
37:52and seemed to be doing well
37:54so
37:54I contacted him and told him he needed to pay child support
38:01or I was taking him to court
38:03he begrudgingly agreed to give me a little money
38:07for Barry until he turned 18
38:09ever since he was a little boy
38:14Barry just
38:16dreamed of being a wrestler
38:19he was in his blood
38:21and when I found out
38:25he was trying to get an audition
38:27I convinced Earl
38:29to give him one
38:30and he was so excited
38:32and I was even more so
38:35and I was watching
38:38from next to the bleachers
38:41Barry didn't see me
38:44if you can't hold Jerome with a guy twice your age
38:53there's no place for you in this business
38:56and then went out of his way
38:58to destroy my son
39:01in front of me
39:02both physically and psychologically
39:05I'd never seen Barry so upset
39:21he refused to go to the matches
39:25he said he was done with wrestling
39:28and thanks to Earl
39:30I watched my son
39:34go from a boy with a dream
39:38to an adult
39:39with a first hand taste
39:42of how cruel the real world can be
39:45and he graduates in the spring
39:48and Earl took those last few
39:52fleeting moments of youth
39:55away from him
39:56and me
39:57so I confronted him
40:01after the matches
40:05once everyone had left
40:08you need to reach out to him
40:11you need to tell him
40:13you didn't mean what you said
40:14I meant it
40:16but why did you have to crush his spirits
40:20because I knew it would crush yours too
40:25maybe even worse
40:28see
40:31this is payback
40:33for you making me
40:35pay money
40:36all those years
40:37for some stupid kid
40:38who now that I've seen Russell
40:40I doubt is even mine
40:44what am I supposed to tell him
40:52tell him he's a loser
40:55a pathetic loser
40:58just like
41:02his father
41:05I needed somewhere to hide him
41:17until I could figure out
41:18what to do
41:18it was too heavy
41:21to take out of the school
41:22I panicked
41:25I tried to throw you off with a wrench
41:37and then I
41:47cleaned the actual weapon
41:50and left as fast as I could
41:54as a parent
41:58you just
41:59want to do what's best
42:01for your kid
42:02we haven't told
42:08Barry yet
42:09that he would be fair
42:12that he would lose his mother
42:13and his father
