[indistinct shouting]
- Break, break, break, break! - I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm not going down, Mo.
[indistinct shouting]
[grunting]
Attaboy, Jerry, attaboy! Come on, now.
You're my great white hope.
♪ Shine a light shine a light ♪
That's it. That's it!
- Stop it. - No more!
I love you, Jerry.
You're killing him, don't you see?
[crowd booing]
That's it!
[cheering]
Doctor! We need a doctor.
[sobbing]
- Holy Christ! - My God!
[indistinct chattering]
[instrumental music]
[siren blaring in distance]
I arrived for morning visits when
Sonny had taken a turn for the worst.
- Sonny Carroll? - Yes.
He has information on a prize fighter who was killed?
That's right.
Sonny hasn't made a last confession.
He wanted to talk to you first.
[heart rate monitor beeping]
- 'Sonny?' - 'Hmm?'
The police are here.
This is Detective Rush and Lieutenant Stillman.
Hi, Sonny.
'Course, you'd have to be a pretty, young gal.
Serves me right.
Sonny, you officiated at a boxing match back in 1976?
And that kid died in the ring.
Who died?
Jerry Stone.
'What a gutless wonder.'
Jerry was gutless?
No, me.
I should've stopped the fight.
Stopped it because Jerry was hurt?
Real bad.
[Rush] 'Why didn't you?'
My hand was in the pot.
Someone paid you off, Sonny?
Fifteen hundred dollars.
That was the deal.
To not stop a fight that should've been stopped?
Sonny?
Do you really think he'll forgive?
[exhales]
[monitor beeping flat]
[instrumental music]
So, someone wants to do Jerry harm.
And pays Sonny 1500
to let the fight go on longer than it should.
But Sonny didn't say who.
[sighing]
And he's not going to.
[theme music]
[music continues]
- Hey. - How's it going?
What's up?
On my way in.
Thought I'd stop by. I called, but..
Ah, I must have been in the shower.
I hit your cell phone a couple of three times, too.
Yeah, my cell. I think I left it at work.
Mind if I come in?
Yeah, okay. If you want.
[siren blaring in distance]
Have a seat.
What's up with your furniture?
What do you mean?
Your setup is horrible.
Couldn't be more...awkward.
I was about to skip some rope.
Gotcha.
So how long have you been doing this?
[sighs]
Since, uh... Pee-Wees.
Wrestling.
No, I mean pushing back the furniture.
Huh.
Eh, I don't like the gym.
What, too much room?
Nah, just too many people.
Listen, Scotty, I, uh..
...just wanted to say when my wife died..
Well, I've been where you've been.
Yeah, I know.
So, if you ever want to talk..
[cell phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
I guess, you'll let me know.
[door closing]
Jerry Stone, 24, died in the ring after going 15 rounds
with Maurice "Mad Mo" Bell.
Autopsy showed massive swelling on the brain as cause of death.
So, no question the punches he took, killed him.
"Top Dog Boxing Club. December 19, 1976.
Rocky vs. Apollo, the real thing."
Hmm, what's that about?
The idea of the fight was to try
'and recreate"Rocky"
'the hot movie at the time.'
Sort of gimmicky, huh?
Ah, supposedly, it lived up to the hype.
Till someone got killed.
Nick, the other fighter, Mo
was he questioned first time around?
The assigned put him through his paces but..
...boxer dies in the ring, what are you gonna do?
But knowing the referee was on the take
that changes everything.
So we figure out who paid Sonny.
Maybe, Gina will know.
- Who's that? - Sonny's daughter.
And Jerry's girlfriend.
Says here she was ringside when Jerry died.
So Gina looks on, as her own dad
allows her boyfriend to get beat to death.
Mm-hmm. Maybe, explains why she wasn't ringside today.
- Mmm. - She wasn't at the hospital?
Start with her.
[instrumental music]
Jerry was short on talent. Big on heart.
He said, that's why they picked him for the fight.
Because, they knew he'd never quit.
No matter how badly he was hurt?
No, he'd stay in and take the punishment, like Rocky did.
'Now you add a referee who's willing to let that happen.'
Gina, any idea on who could've
paid your dad that money?
No.
Well, how about someone who had a problem with Jerry?
- Besides Sonny, you mean? - Yeah.
Nah.
So, Sonny didn't care for Jerry?
At 15, he made it very clear that I wasn't to see him.
He said he was a bum.
How so?
He dropped out of school.
Didn't work.
But he could always hustle up money to drink.
So how is it you two got together?
Just another Friday night going nowhere, and..
Then I saw something that my father couldn't.
[Orleans singing "Dance With Me"]
[Gina] 'Drinking those eggs was so gross.'
- What about his apartment? - Yeah, that too.
♪ I want to be your partner can't you see.. ♪
[Wendy] 'Isn't that Jerry Stone?'
Sshh. Hi, Jerry.
Hey.
Oh, my gosh.
What happened to your face?
My face?
Gina here can't stop looking at it.
Okay!
Hey, I'll see you in a minute.
Did you like the movie?
Uh, the love story part.
You sort of look like Adrian.
I do?
Me, I've seen the flick three times.
Yeah, 15 bucks for a locker and a corner man.
Five dollar charge for shower and towel.
Hmm..
And very true to life.
So, uh..
...my looks are comin' on, huh?
[giggling]
I said you look...different, that's all.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
'Cause I feel different.
Oh?
This movie's got me thinking..
...if some bum wants to be President of the United States..
...he really can be.
President, huh? Hmm?
Well, I guess, I better work on winning a few fights first.
My record's not so hot.
I gotta go do my roadwork.
Jerry..
Are you...looking for your own Adrian?
Are you for real?
Uh-huh.
So that was..
...the beginning of me and Jerry.
And the end of you and Sonny?
Yeah, I...I told him that Jerry had changed.
I said, there was no stopping him now.
But Sonny didn't believe it.
Gina, just so you know..
...your dad was genuinely sorry about Jerry.
Yeah, too bad he didn't feel that way
before he let Mad Mo kill him.
Detective Will Jeffries, Mo.
My partner, Detective Vera.
Hmm. Where y'all park the car, man?
Up on the corner. We're good.
Yo, Booger.
Some good looking out for Philly's finest.
You snug as a bug now, baby.
- Let's talk about Jerry Stone. - Come on.
At the weigh-in, you said, you were gonna murder Jerry.
For real, then you did.
Hey-hey, just talking bads, man.
Selling them tickets.
What about the press conference when you were
talking up some black and white stuff?
Ah, just pointing up the differences.
Our people was into James Brown.
Jerry Stone and y'all might have rather been square dancing.
- That ain't racist. - It is, a little bit.
Still, it don't mean I murdered him.
[Will] 'Mo, we looked into your juvenile records.'
Arrested nine times before you were 15.
Two years in lockup for putting step-pops in a coma?
Those records supposed to be sealed.
Don't worry.
We taped 'em back up.
I didn't even know who Jerry Stone was.
I-I didn't want to take that fight in the first place.
- Why not? - Well, cat was what?
15-18-3, something terrible like that.
What's beating a chump like that gonna do for me?
- So whydidyou fight him? - Tommy Sugar.
The promoter of the fight.
Man could sell you a house in the Atlantic Ocean.
[Parliament singing "Give Up The Funk"]
That's him, in the maroon trunks.
♪ We're gonna tear the roof off the mother sucker ♪
♪ You've got a real type of thing going down..♪
Don't nobody care about this cat.
Wait, wait a minute. Look, how many fights you won in a row?
All of 'em.
And 21 outta 22 was knockouts.
And what one of 'em was against a top-five contender?
Ain't no top-five giving me a fight, man.
You want to know why?
- Why? - Publicity!
You are a wrecking machine but nobody knows you.
But after I get done with this fight, they will.
And fighting this fool is gonna raise my status?
Come on.
Let me introduce you to one of the great bleeders of all time.
'Jerry Stone.'
I've opened up faces many a time.
But he bleeds like this tonight, imagine what you'll do to him.
Oh..
It's like you said, nobody cares about this cat.
'I know I don't.'
Buteverybody..
...is gonna care about you.
Yeah.
Come on, Mo. Huh?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Come on.
So you agreed to the fight and took Jerry apart.
The ref should've stopped it.
I could tell white boy's brain got wet.
I'm killing him, and he's hollering
"He took the ring back," this kind of nonsense.
Thing is, Mo, your career didn't rise.
It went downhill after that fight.
Killing somebody has a way of throwing a man off-track.
[Will] 'Not for Tommy Sugar.'
He's been Philly's top boxing promoter the last 25 years.
Well, that's some truth. And here's some more.
The night Jerry Stone died Tommy Sugar was born.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
It was 1976, the Bicentennial.
And"Rocky"was as American as it gets.
And you saw a way to exploit that.
Saw opportunity. For one and all.
That kinda timing don't come twice.
Well, so the pressure was on.
- This fight had to live up. - No doubt.
One thing for an underdog to go 15 rounds on the silver screen
another to make that happen in real life.
A tribute to the young men who fought.
And you did nothing to help it along?
[chuckles]
Like what?
Jerry would bleed a lot, which was a good thing, right?
[Will] 'But if you were trying to re-make"Rocky"'
you need Jerry to go 15 rounds.
So you don't want too much of a good thing.
So maybe, as insurance, you paid the referee to keep it going.
No matter what.
- Sonny took a deal like that? - Yep.
I wish I'd known he was open for business.
You know, where you ought to be looking, is the CYO.
- Catholic Youth Organization. - Where I plucked Jerry from.
About half a dozen fighters came to me crying the blues
after being overlooked.
So one of these sore losers from the CYO paid Sonny $1500
to see Jerry take the beating of his life?
Your best fighters always hold a grudge.
[instrumental music]
The CYO was at its height in the '70s.
Instead of a kid sucking on cigarettes all day long
he had a place to go.
And Jerry Stone participated in the boxing program?
Jerry would serve mass for me on Sunday mornings
and then fight for me on Sunday nights.
Which eventually lands him this bout with Mo.
Right.
Heard not everyone was overjoyed by that.
You gotta remember that these kids had their noses
pressed right up against it.
And along comes Jerry.
He's got a chance at a real professional fight.
Well, anyone so jealous they might wanna see
real harm come to Jerry?
Pay the ref off to see that happen?
Deep down, these guys knew they were not better than Jerry.
It's just a bunch of ham and eggers.
Except, uh, one of them, I guess.
- Who? - Bucky Lowsen.
- Best fighter we had. - Better than Jerry?
They wanted more of an underdog. He had too good a record.
And how'd he deal with that?
Bucky didn't like coming in second to Jerry.
And that seemed to be happening quite a lot.
[laughing]
Hey.
Hey, can I borrow the keys to the gym, Father?
I wanna work the bags a little.
Mr. Carroll.
Must think Rome was built in a day.
Go play some records.
I'll be right over.
You just won't give him a chance, will you?
Why should I? A bum is a bum is a bum.
Hey..
Hey, I've been looking for you.
- Buck. - Don't "Buck" me, boy.
[Buck] 'You get the message I left you?'
Look, Buck, this is Mr. Sugar's fight.
- You should talk to him. - I did.
My only way in that ring is if you're out.
I'm sorry, I'm staying put.
- We're not through here. - Buck, Buck, back off.
You want to start a donnybrook, start with me.
Fine.
Hey, Sonny?
You seen Jimmy, the jeweler lately?
What are you talking about?
Jerry purchased a fancy engagement ring.
'He seems to think he's gonna marry Gina.'
Bucky, give it a rest.
Or maybe, you fighting Mo
ain't such a bad thing.
'After he puts you in a coma'
guess whose brawny shoulder's gonna be there
for Gina to cry on.
- So Buck and Gina had history. - Sweethearts.
- In high school? - Elementary.
He'd been carrying a torch for her since the fifth grade.
How do you know that?
Around here, if you didn't get the story
on some kid after the mass
you believe your butt, you will at the bar.
So between losing both the fight andthe girl toJerry..
Buck was having a rough go.
[instrumental music]
Alright, Scotty, I'll see you then.
- Valens? - Yeah.
- H-he alright? - We're gonna grab some drinks.
Good. Doing better than yesterday.
- You talked to him? - Yeah.
Buck Lowsen's got a record. Two days before the fight
Buck robbed a convenience store.
This says he was arrested in '78, not '76.
It took that long to catch him.
How much did Buck get away with?
Two thousand and a thing of peanut butter.
And two whole years to spread it around.
Yeah, but maybe, he only took two days
before he burned off 1500 of it.
Right, 1500, Sonny's asking price.
[instrumental music]
I don't know what you're talking about.
Buck, I might even believe you if not for the timing.
I mean, you never stole anything else in your life.
That's the God's honest truth.
Nothing before that day or after.
Yeah, but that day's the problem, Buck.
Because it was two days before the fight.
- How do you explain that? - I can't.
Start with the money. What did you do with it?
Buck, we know you wished Jerry ill.
And that you and Gina go way back.
Let him call a lawyer.
I don't want a lawyer. I can't afford one.
Fine, I'll make sure you get a PD.
If you're lucky, you might even get a good one.
You think a public defender's gonna care about me?
Alright, maybe not, but Buck, if you're not gonna talk
about the money, what arewesupposed to do?
Besides, if you're so innocent, what are you hedging for?
Because I don't want to hurt her.
[BTO singing "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet]
Hey, Buck.
What are you doing here?
What areyoudoing here?
I'm waiting for Jerry.
He's running, too.
So suddenly he's humping early morning runs, huh?
- Mm-hmm. - Priceless.
Well, Buck, here he is. So..
Relax. He ain't gonna see us. Look.
'Got his head in the clouds.'
What a clown.
He could run these steps like Rocky all day.
It's gonna mean zip.
No, he has been working real hard.
♪ You ain't seen nothin' yet ♪

- Gina, the fix is in. - What?
Mo's taking a dive first round. Jerry's gonna win.
It won't be a real fight?
That'll hurt Jerry real bad.
[Buck] 'Hey, there's nothing youcan do about it..'
...except take advantage.
What do you mean?
You know what the odds are of Jerry winning
in a first round knockout?
- What? - Twenty to one.
That's why I ain't busting Balboa's bubble just yet.
There's some real dough to be made first.

Gina couldn't resist a sure thing.
She was a gambler?
I robbed that store so I could get her betting money.
Did you tell her how you got it?
No, I wanted to impress her
not tell her I was scum.
Had it bad for her, huh, Buck?
My whole stupid life.
So Gina acts all broken up for Jerry
that the fight's gonna be a fake.
But dries her eyes pretty quick
and places her own bet on it.
[instrumental music]
Hey, boss.
- Can I talk to you a minute? - Scotty. Hey. Sure.
[clearing throat]
What happened in that interview
was 100 percent the wrong way.
I mean, thumpin' on anybody it doesn't matter who.
You can't do it.
Okay.
I assure you
itwill nothappen again.
Well, that's good, Scotty, 'cause it can't.
Anything else?
I..
Well, I was hoping the, uh, suspension
could be lifted...early.
I didn't suspend you, Scotty.
I encouraged you to take time off.
Well, I'd like you to encourage me to come back.
Well, how are you feeling?
Great.
Sorry, Scotty, I can't do it.
What do you mean? Why?
I'll ask you again. How're you feeling?
I said fine.
You're not ready yet.
- Boss-- - How do you feel, Scotty?
Not.. Not that good.
Hey. Come next week.
We'll get you back on the job.
Thought Jerry was the big love of your life, Gina.
He was.
So, why let him go ahead with a fight
you knew was rigged?
Because you had money on that fight.
Yeah, I did.
You took the dough from Buck
and the 20-to-one odds that came with it.
Thirty-to-one by the time I placed my bet.
Hmm, couldn't resist it, huh?
I have a bit of a problem.
So, all that talk about Jerry's big heart
and how there was no stopping him...just words?
No.
But why should all the other shlubs
make money off of Jerry, and not us?
So you did it for the both of you?
- Yeah. - Why are we gonna believe you?
Because Ididtell Jerry, and it cost me.
- Nervous about tomorrow? - No.
No?
Well, not like tonight.
What's so big about tonight?

What, by being a bum?
That's exactly what I'm trying not to be.
I thought you believed in what I was doing.
Jerry...we're stuck.
And when we are 50, we will still be stuck.
We're not gonna get a break like this again.
We'll make our own breaks.
You really believe that?

To make matters worse, then I had to go
tell Frank Shavers what I'd done.
- Who's Shavers? - From the old neighborhood.
I worked in his bingo parlor.
If anyone had a bet on this fix, it was him.
So you told him Jerry knew about it?
And to take his bet back before it was too late.
And what'd he say?
There is no taking bets back.
[instrumental music]
[Will] 'So, Frank, you bet big money on this fix'
then Gina opens up her mouth to Jerry.
And I wasn't pleased.
So, did you retaliate?
How would I have done that?
How about paying the referee 1500 bucks
to not stop the fight?
No matter how bad off Jerry was.
Gettin' me what?
Jerry ends up maimed or dead
the boxing world gets the message.
"Don't mess with Frank Shavers."
[chuckles] Look, I'm not a thug.
I'm a businessman.
And it was a bad day at the office.
So, you never tampered with Sonny?
I never suspected anyone had.
Until now.
We're listening.
Jerry lasted 15 rounds.
That's incredible, really.
But what's more incredible is
only one person bet on Jerry to do just that.
There you go, Frank.
[rock music]
It finally hit you, huh?
What's that?
Three years from now Mo Bell may be
Heavyweight Champion of the World.
That's what you're tangling with.
There's no shame in knowing when to walk away.
No?
It's the same in respect to Gina.
'Return the ring, Jerry.'
Let my daughter be.
Drinking the night before a fight.
Put it down.
[chair screeching]
Every reflex has to be right, your mind clear.
Father, it don't matter anymore.
What, are you freezing up?
- No. - Well, then fight.
Then you'll have tomorrow night
for the rest of your life.
You really think I can do it, Father?
Son, I got money on you.
You, too, Father?
You bet on the fight?
Now I need you in that ring.
- Father. - Son.
I've raised you from a pup.
If you won't do this for yourself, do it for me.
♪ Just take me down a river.. ♪
So, Father needs Jerry to go the distance.
But that night, he sees Jerry's wobbly.
And I didn't stick around, but..
the Father was huddled up with Sonny when I left.
Maybe Father bought some insurance from him.
Made sure his pup got to the finish line.
Putting money on Jerry not to win
but to make it 15 rounds.
That's a pretty specific bet, Father.
That's because Jerry set that goal for himself.
I thought he would make it.
And your winnings must have been sweet.
I threw in the towel, for Pete's sake.
Yeah, with 20 seconds remaining.
Because of what I saw in his eyes.
Jerry always looked bad, but this time
I could see he was cooked.
Or maybe throwing that towel
was just an act, huh, Father?
Look, I can't force you two to believe me.
Did you know the fight was fixed?
Fixed?
Mo made a deal to let Jerry win
in the first round, and Jerry knew about it.
No kidding?
But didn't wanna go along with it.
I wouldn't think he would.
And if so, that explains why--
Why what?
That's why Round One.
[rock music]
[crowd booing]
[crowd whistling]
He's been standing around for two minutes.
What the hell is going on out there?
Come on. Come on, hit me.
- Come on. - Oh, wonderful, the boo birds.
- Boo. - Boo.
- 'Come on, throw a punch.' - Come on.
Show me something, chump. Come on.
No way, Mo.
Throw a punch. Come on. Come on.
[bell dinging]
- What's the matter? - Stop it now.
You gotta fight me now, Mo.
- What are you doing? - Give me water.
What, is your mind mush?
You want water? I'll give you your damn water, huh?
You got the rest of your life to make eyes at that girl.
- That's not happening. - What are you talking about?
I took the ring back.
Alright, alright. Come here.
[belldings]
Get up. You, wake up, okay?
You get it on with this guy. Get in there.
Nowyou want a fight, huh, Father?
Well take a look, 'cause we got one.
You're dead, you hear? Dead.
[grunting]
[Will] 'So the entire first round'
Jerry never threw a punch.
Making it impossible for Mo to fake a knockout.
I told Jerry I put some money on him, but..
He must have thought I'd taken this other bet.
The fix.
That poor kid.
At the end, he must have thought that
evenI didn't believe in him.
[rock music]
Hey.
Hey, my man.
Where you been?
Ah, per usual, long day.
Oh, you're here now and we're celebrating.
We got a cause or are we better without?
I'm back on the job next week.
No kiddin'. Yeah.
- Way to go. - That's good, right?
Tops. Tops, brother, tops.
What?
Just that simple?
It'd be simpler if I can get rollin' here a little bit.
Yo, Christina.
I'll go again. Get Nicky, too.
How you doin'?
Good, I didn't know you worked here.
Yeah, it's fun for now.
Although I find some of the guys
who come in here are sort of..
...half-ass.
No kiddin'?
Half-ass, huh?
Uh, but that was before you two came in.
Perfect.
I got it.
Thank you, kind sir.
You know, taking it back a sec
you were telling me you're happy I'm back
not asking how I'm doing.
Thanks for that.

I say walk it off any way you can, whatever.
You're the goods, Nicky.
But what you can't do..
...is Rush's sister.
You know what I mean?
What do you think? What are you talking about?
Scotty, serious.
Anyone but that, right?
[music continues]
[dramatic music]
Mo said Jerry kept yelling he took the ring back
thinking he was talking about the boxing ring.
But now we think Jerry meant
the engagement ring he bought for Gina.
From Jimmy the jeweler.
Jimmy's still in business?
Well, on the day of the fight
Jerry took the ring in
and asked for his money back.
How much was it worth?
Eighteen hundred.
But Jimmy wouldn't give him that.
Said the ring had depreciated
over the three days he had had it.
So, what did Jerry get for it?
Fifteen hundred, even.
[instrumental music]
So, we know who paid off Sonny, Mo.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah. Jerry.
Now, how does that make sense?
Jerry knew you'd open up his face bad.
And the way he bleeds, he figures
the ref will T-K-O him.
It did pour out, sure enough.
He wanted to prove he could go the whole 15 with you.
Yeah, that sounds like old Jerry.
Mo, could some of the things he was saying
during the fight have been meant for Sonny and not you?
Yeah, it didn't make sense comin' my way.
'And I'll tell you what else.'
I never seen a guy change
so much over the course of a fight.
- You mean Jerry? - No, man, Sonny.
Before the fight, he hadn't an ounce of respect
for that Jerry.
But by the end?
Brother had tears in his eyes.
