00:10Three months ago, I wanted to kill this man.
00:14Six years old, that's when my father put the first ball at my feet and told me what my life
00:18was for.
00:19Sixteen years later, I still haven't disappointed him.
00:22Who the hell is that?
00:24Not once.
00:38Your ball was 0.3 seconds slow.
00:41Want me to show you how to kick?
01:06I told myself I was studying an opponent.
01:09That's what a captain does.
01:11That's all this is.
01:13He's not some loudmouth nobody.
01:17He's the real thing.
01:19And that's worse.
01:20I saw what happened at practice yesterday.
01:22It won't happen again.
01:25Focus on your own game.
01:27Don't let anyone mess with your rhythm.
01:29Not him.
01:29Not anybody.
01:31Yes, sir.
01:41Don't look.
01:42Walk to your car.
01:43Go home.
01:44Review the game footage.
01:46I said don't look.
01:50Don't look.
02:04Red versus blue.
02:05Full intensity.
02:06I want to see who really belongs on that starting sheet.
02:22He's in my head.
02:23Get him out.
02:24Get him out.
02:41You're even better than I thought.
03:11It means nothing.
03:13It means nothing.
03:40We can't keep doing this.
03:41I need to focus on the team.
03:43On the season.
03:44You understand?
03:45Are you serious right now?
03:47It's over, Danny.
03:49It's better for both of us.
03:53He pushed me away for the team.
03:55And now the team replaced me with someone else.
03:57How's that for focus, Cole?
03:59So you're just going to let some transfer kid walk in and take my spot?
04:02I've been here since freshman year.
04:04I've bled on that field.
04:05And you didn't even fight for me.
04:06It's a tactical decision.
04:23One-on-one.
04:24Loser buys dinner.
04:27Not interested.
04:32Or is the best midfielder in the country scared of a little one-on-one?
04:39There you go.
05:05He didn't want to beat me.
05:06He wanted me to stay.
05:09Same time tomorrow?
05:11Same time tomorrow?
05:37He smiled.
05:50There it is.
05:59Stop.
06:02Last time I felt this, I ruined someone.
06:05I won't do it again.
06:06I can't.
06:07I won't do it again.
06:08I won't do it again.
06:14I won't do it again.
06:16I won't do it again.
06:21I won't do it again.
06:23I won't do it again.
06:25I won't do it again.
06:26I won't do it again.
06:26I won't do it again.
06:26I won't do it again.
06:26I won't do it again.
06:29I won't do it again.
06:32I won't do it again.
06:52watch the celebration keep it professional
06:59one second that's all it took for everything to slip one goddamn second
07:28that pass was a work of art

08:05it's not stopping
08:14we need to talk
08:19so talk

08:25but stay the hell away from cole stay away from cole that's interesting not stay away
08:31from our captain not stay away from my teammate just cole
08:39so let me get this straight you're not mad about your spot in the roster
08:44you're mad because he looks at me the way he used to look at you
08:48shut your mouth
08:52he pushed you away that's a fact and the reason wasn't me i wasn't even here yet
08:59you know that better than anyone
09:02you don't know anything about us maybe not but i know what it looks like when someone's
09:07still in love with a person who already left he's right that's why i want to kill him
09:14he's not the enemy he's just the version of me that didn't get lucky enough
09:20i run when i can't sleep i can't sleep a lot lately
09:38out for a midnight stroll captain
09:40your knee is injured
09:42it's nothing old thing acts up sometimes i'll stretch it out in the morning

10:10sure i just happen to need one and you just happen to be running at 2am past the exact field
10:15where i always train don't tell anyone about the knee you'll lose your spot
10:20he carries ice packs at 2am for himself and he tells me not to lose my spot this man is
10:27going to be the death of me and he doesn't even know it
10:4123 days
10:42what
10:43it's been 23 days since you showed up you follow me to every one-on-one you show up in

10:49are 30 other seats open
10:51why do you keep coming at me what the hell do you want
10:58i thought you'd have figured it out by now
11:02i like you cole
11:04has it been that hard to tell
11:06i've spent my whole life making sure no one ever gets close enough to say that to me
11:10and he said it like it was the easiest thing in the world
11:19no rush
11:20i'm not going anywhere
11:28hi
11:39three tries to start a goddamn car
11:41he says six words and suddenly i can't operate basic machinery
12:06number seven pull wide
12:08number three overlap
12:09number eleven hit the far post
12:14number seven hit the far post
12:14what happened between those two
12:15that's what was wrong
12:20got a stack to do here
12:22your captain runs faster off the field than he does on it
12:25didn't know that was possible
12:31i told him i like him
12:32he ran
12:33i said i wasn't going anywhere
12:35but how long do you stand still for a man who only knows how to move away from you
12:49it's just a drink
12:50people leave things in hallways
12:52it means nothing
12:59there you go
13:06he didn't even look at me
13:08why does that feel worse
13:38i'm not looking for him
13:39i'm walking to my room
13:40his door happens to be on the way
13:41that's all
13:46three seconds
13:47yesterday it was two

13:56that's an order
14:06if i knock
14:08everything changes
14:09if i walk away
14:10everything stays the same
14:11and the same is killing me
14:19yeah
14:206am tactical meeting
14:22don't be late
14:22and cole
14:23get some sleep
14:24you sound off
14:36he's here
14:48he came
14:50that's enough for tonight
14:51almost enough
15:03not now danny
15:04it'll just take a minute
15:06you owe me that
15:09the way you look at him
15:10it's the same
15:12exactly the same as how you used to look at me
15:17but here's what's different
15:19when you look at him
15:20your eyes light up
15:21like there's something inside you
15:22that actually wants to be alive
15:25you never looked at me like that
15:28not once
15:28there's nothing between me and marcus
15:33who are you trying to convince cole
15:35me
15:38because you can't even convince yourself
15:44he's wrong
15:45he has to be wrong
15:46because if he's right
15:48then everything i've done
15:49pushing him away
15:50pushing marcus away
15:51every wall i've ever built
15:52it was all for nothing
15:54and i can't afford for it to be nothing
16:04your off-ball movement's been half a stop late in the second half
16:06fix it
16:08i'll add it to the extra sessions
16:14you've been spending a lot of time with marcus lately
16:16he's the starting striker
16:18we need on-field chemistry
16:19that takes time
16:20and this
16:21this is also on-field chemistry
16:27his knee was bothering him
16:28i was helping a teammate
16:30that's what a captain does
16:36i've spent 16 years building you into what you are today
16:39every drill every match every hour of film study
16:4216 years cole
16:44i didn't do all of that just to watch you throw it away on this
17:14coach
17:15the guys usually train together in the afternoon block
17:17splitting them might affect team chemistry before
17:20championship sprint phase
17:21individual optimization cole needs focused reps without distractions
17:24marcus needs to build with the second unit
17:25any questions

17:43day one i told myself it was a schedule change
17:45day two i noticed the pattern
17:47day three
17:48i stopped lying to myself
17:51this isn't logistics
17:52this is a wall
17:54and i know exactly who built it
17:59you're not protecting him
18:00you're caging him
18:01and the worst part is
18:04he lets you
18:09full squad shape
18:1111 v 11
18:12i want match pace intensity
18:15no exceptions
18:24don't pass to him

19:29with something in his eyes
19:30that i spent two years binging for
19:32and never got
19:32i'm not doing this out of jealousy
19:34that's what i keep telling myself
19:35i'm doing it because someone has to protect cole

19:40that's
19:40who am i kidding

23:03you know what cole
23:04i ran here barefoot
23:06across campus
23:06through broken glass
23:07because someone texted me that you were unconscious on a field at two in the morning
23:11and i got here and you were lying there with tubes in your arm
23:13and the first thing i wanted to do was scream at you
23:14but i didn't scream
23:15i sat down
23:16i asked you a question
23:16and for one second
23:17one goddamn second
23:18i saw something real in your eyes
23:20and now your father walks in
23:21and you turn into a wall again
23:25next time i care about what happens to you
23:27may god take me first
23:35he asked me when i'm happy
23:37the answer walked out of this room and i let him go
23:40i let him go because my father was watching
23:44because that's what i always do
23:46because i would rather break the one person who actually sees me
23:50than let my father see who i really am
24:00captain's back
24:01how you feeling cole
24:02never better
24:03let's get to work
24:17are they good

24:33good
24:34that's more like it
24:35keep the intensity
24:36we're building towards the semifile now
24:43his shoulders are lower
24:44he's not bouncing on his toes anymore
24:47he used to run like gravity didn't apply to him
24:49now he runs like everyone else
24:52i did that
24:53got what i wanted
24:54marcus is out
24:55cole's back to being the machine
24:56everything's exactly the way it's supposed to be
24:57so why do i feel like i'm gonna throw up
24:59i sat in that office and i told his father everything
25:00i called it protecting cole
25:02but i was punishing him
25:02never looking at me the way he looks at marcus
25:04now i have to sit here and watch what i did
25:06every day for the rest of the season
25:25don't go
25:27what are you gonna say if you get there
25:28i'm sorry
25:29come back
25:31i didn't mean it
25:32you meant every word
25:33you looked him in the eye and told him to leave
25:35you don't get to undo that by standing outside his door
25:49he told you
25:51one more time and i'm gone
25:52what did you expect
25:54a welcome sign
26:11i don't know how to knock on this door
26:13i don't know how to open it
26:14i don't know how to say the things that are screaming inside my chest every second of every day
26:20i've been trained to win games and read defenses and never show weakness
26:24nobody taught me how to do this
26:27nobody taught me how to want someone without it feeling like losing
26:50three nights
26:50three nights you stand outside my door
26:52you don't knock
26:53you don't speak
26:53you just stand there
26:55and i sit here and listen to you breathe through the wood
26:56and i don't open the door
26:57because if i open it now
26:58we'll go right back to the same cycle
26:59you'll come close
27:00your father will pull you back
27:01and i'll be standing in the middle of your war
27:02pretending it doesn't tear me apart
27:03i can't do another round of that coal
27:04i can't
27:38i can hear you cole
27:39i've heard you every night
27:41the first night you stayed one minute
27:43second night two
27:44last night three
27:46you put your hand on the door
27:48you put your forehead on the door
27:50and then you leave
27:51every time
27:52i told you in that hospital room
27:55next time i care about you
27:56let god take me
27:57i meant it
27:58and i'm still sitting here at midnight
28:00with my back against this door
28:01waiting for a man
28:02who won't even knock
28:04so clearly god's got a sense of humor
28:06and i'm the joke
28:07you come to my door one more time
28:08without opening it
28:09i'm gone
28:10not a threat
28:11not a game
28:12i'm transferring out
28:15i'll be done
28:16with this team
28:17with this school
28:19with you
28:22say something
28:23anything
28:24open the door
28:25tell him you're sorry
28:26tell him you're scared
28:27tell him you don't know how to be someone your father didn't build
28:30tell him the truth
28:31that the only time you felt like a person instead of a machine
28:34was when he was looking at you
28:35say it
28:36say it
28:36say it
28:37four nights
28:38he came four nights
28:39and four nights he walked away
28:41i used to think the problem was his father
28:43or the team
28:44or his fear
28:45but it's not
28:45the problem is that he would rather lose me
28:48than fight for me
28:49and i can't love someone harder than they're willing to love themselves
29:11i came here to play football
29:13i stayed because of him
29:14now i'm leaving because of him
29:20there's a symmetry in that i guess
29:22not the kind i wanted
29:40full formation
29:41run it
29:46coal
29:47nobody's there
29:54coal
29:55what the hell are you doing out there
29:57i've memorised every blage
29:57every divry worn patch
29:58near the penalty spot
29:59this field has been the only constant in my life
30:01my father put me here when i was six
30:02and i never left
30:02but right now standing in the centre circle
30:04i feel the ground giving away
30:05not because i can't play
30:06because the only person who makes me want to play
30:07might never stand on this grass again
30:08and it's my fault
30:09you're the captain
30:10you're my son
30:11and you're standing on this field playing like someone who's already quit
30:14get your head right or get off my pitch
30:17yes sir
30:28these are coals
30:30he gave them to me
30:31seth more year
30:32the night we
30:32the night things started between us
30:34he said my knees took too many hits
30:35and i needed better gear
30:37that was his version of i care about you
30:39coal rains doesn't say things
30:40he gives you equipment
30:41that guy is the most impossible person i've ever known
30:44he'll push you away
30:45and then stand outside your door at midnight
30:47he'll tell you he doesn't need you
30:48and then fall apart the second you're gone
30:50he'll choose his father over you
30:51every single time until one day he doesn't
30:53and you won't know which day that is
30:55until it happens
30:56but danny
30:57why are you telling me this
30:58because somebody has to
30:59because that idiot won't fight for himself
31:00and his father sure as hell won't let him
31:02and because you're packing a suitcase right now
31:03which means he's about to lose the one person
31:04who actually makes him alive
31:05he's difficult
31:06he's infuriating
31:06he'll make you want to put your fist through a wall
31:08but he's worth it
31:08don't let him lose this
31:09even if he's too stupid to hold on himself
31:13that took guts walsh
31:15more than anything i've seen on any field
31:18yeah well
31:18don't get used to it
31:20i still think you're annoying as hell
31:26i loved him for two years
31:28he never looked at me the way he looks at marcus
31:29and the worst part isn't the pain
31:31the worst part is that i understand why
31:32marcus makes him want to be more than what his father built
31:35i never did that
31:35i just love the version of cole that richard made
31:37marcus loves the version cole's afraid to be
31:39that's the difference
31:40that was always the difference
31:43so
32:10that's the difference
32:11because it's all
32:18Second half, run the central combination.
32:20Cole feeds Marcus through the middle, tell them both.
32:22Coach, we need the connection, 10 and 9.
32:24It's the only lane they haven't been able to shut down
32:26because we haven't used it.
32:58We just played 50 minutes together without saying a single word
33:01and every pass was perfect.
33:03Every run was read, every angle was understood.
33:05We don't need to speak to play.
33:06I'm terrified of what that means
33:08because if we don't need words on the field
33:09then the only place we need them is everywhere else
33:11and everywhere else is exactly where I've been failing.
33:16Their left centre-back is their weakest rink.
33:18He's slow to turn, commits too early
33:20and leaves a gap between himself and the full-back
33:22every time their midfield pushes up.
33:24The window is small, maybe two seconds, but it's there.
33:28On every single defensive transition, it's there.
33:30I thread the ball through this channel
33:32at the exact moment Marcus starts his run.
33:34He has to time it to the split second.
33:35If the pass is early, it's offside.
33:37If it's late, the window closes.
33:38But if we hit it, it's a one-on-one with the keeper.
33:41No cover, no recovery run.
33:43Dead.
33:44No.
33:45Too much risk.
33:46One misread and we lose possession in the final third
33:49with no recovery system.
33:50We don't gamble in a championship final.
33:52It's not a gamble if the execution is precise.
33:53I've made this pass a hundred times in training.
33:55Marcus has made this run a hundred times.
33:56The data supports it.
33:57Their weak side gets exposed on 73% of their defensive track.
34:00I tried that pass.
34:01In a final.
34:02When I was your age and just as sure of myself as you are right now.
34:0530 yards through the middle, split in two centre-back on the turn.
34:07Never played an unprofessional match.
34:09One pass.
34:10One decision.
34:11That's all it takes to end everything.
34:12I'm not letting that happen to you.
34:13Not in my final.
34:18Anyone else have thoughts on this?
34:20No?
34:20Then we go with the game plan we've been drilling.
34:22Standard build-up, wide rotation, patient possession.
34:25That's it.
34:26Meeting adjourned.
34:29I have a thought.
34:30I've played with a lot of 10s in my career.
34:31At Louisiana and youth systems in every pick-up game since I was 12.
34:35None of them see the field the way Cole does.
34:37That pass he drew on the board, I've been on the receiving end of it.
34:40In training, in matches under pressure.
34:42It arrives before I even finish my run.
34:44Every time.
34:45With all due respect, coach.
34:47That pass didn't fail because it was the wrong decision.
34:50It failed because the receiver wasn't me.
34:53I believe in him.
34:54If he says the window is there, I'll be in it.
35:15You wanted to see me.
35:23Do you know why I keep that jersey on the wall?
35:26Your last match before the injury.
35:29Conference final won.
35:3091st minute.
35:31I had the ball at the edge of their box.
35:32Saw a gap right through the middle between their two center blackers.
35:33Exactly the kind of pass you drew on that whiteboard yesterday.
35:35I hit the pass.
35:36Technically, it was perfect.
35:36Wait, angle timing.
35:37All of the receiver football was intercepted.
35:38They broke.
35:38I turned to track back.
35:39The knee gave.
35:40I should have trusted the system instead of trusting my instinct.
35:42One decision, and everything was over.
35:43That pass is the single biggest regret of my life.
35:46Don't use your play tomorrow, Cole.
35:48Go with the safe build-up.
35:49Trust the system we've built.
35:50Listen to me on this.
35:51I'm not saying it as your coach.
35:52I'm saying it as your father.
35:54I'm saying it because I love you, and I don't want you to carry the same scar I carry.
35:59Dad, I know what you're afraid of.
36:02You're not afraid the pass will fail.
36:03You're afraid that if I try it and it works, it means the pass was never wrong.
36:05You spent 20 years regretting something that didn't need to be regretted.
36:07You're afraid that your career because of bad luck.
36:08And if it was just luck, then everything you built around that regret, the system, the control,
36:11the way you raised me, all of it was based on a lie you told yourself to make the pain
36:13make sense.
36:14I love you, Dad.
36:14Dad, and I know you did all of this because you love me.
36:18But I'm not you.
36:20Your pass didn't fail because you were wrong, and mine won't either.
36:31Your entire attack runs through two players, number 10 and number 9.
36:35Cut that connection, and the game is over before it starts.
36:38Simple as that.
37:01Can you hold up?
37:02Since when do you care about how I'm doing?
37:04He came back for me.
37:06In the middle of the biggest game of his career, he came back to ask if my knee was okay.
37:10That's not a captain checking on a teammate.
37:12That's Cole.
37:13The real one.
37:14The one his father doesn't know exists.
37:16I'm not angry at him.
37:17I'm angry at myself.
37:18For every door I didn't open.
37:20For every word I didn't say.
37:22For every time I chose my father's version of me over the version Marcus believes in.
37:26If we lose today, it won't be because the tactics were wrong.
37:29It'll be because I was too afraid to be right.
37:55Three more minutes.
37:57That's all I need this knee.
37:58Give three more minutes.
37:59Then it can break.
38:00Then anything can break.
38:01Just not now.
38:07Standard play.
38:09Switch it wide.
38:10Do not go through the middle.
38:12Repeat.
38:13Do not risk the central pass.
38:15Play it safe.
38:16We take it to extra time.
38:18Keep it easy.
38:19Come on.
38:25Keep it easy.
38:32Set.
38:35Set.
38:36Set.
38:37Set.ią.
38:39Set.
39:05That's the pass my father tried 20 years ago.
39:08That's the pass he's been terrified of ever since.
39:10Now it's in the net.
39:12And the man who put it there is the same man I've been pushing away for 3 months.
39:16I'm done pushing.
39:43You know kid, you really are a lot better than I ever was.
39:58You finally did something for yourself, Cole Reigns.
40:00One goddamn thing that wasn't for your father, wasn't for the team, wasn't for the system.
40:03That pass was yours.
40:04That decision was yours.
40:05It took you 3 months, a hospital bed, 4 nights outside my door and an entire championship
40:08final but you chose, you did it.
40:11Not just one thing.
40:12It took you long enough.
40:133 months ago I wanted to kill this man.
40:15He walked onto my field, drank coffee in my face and told me my pass was slow.
40:18He broke every rule I had.
40:19He saw through every wall.
40:21He stood behind me when no one else would and the most terrifying thing he ever did was
40:24ask me a simple question.
40:25Are you happy?
40:25I didn't know the answer then.
40:27I know it now.
