before the biggest match of his life
and the biggest match of mine.
[Staci] You know, somebody went out there,
bought Kleenex, passed them all out.
Purchase order came
from the Duffy Wrestling League account,
picked up in store by Jack Spade.
Welcome to Dystopia, baby.
Now it's official.
And next week the belt's gonna be yours.
-[Crystal] It's Ace. -[Jack] What about him?
He's at the FWD show with Gully.
Our legendary nemesis, Mr. Jack Spade!

[Ace] Jack, do you like me?
[Jack] You're my little brother.
Do you like me as a friend?
Why are you always asking me that?
'Cause I'm not sure if you do.
Well, you're my brother.
I'm supposed to love you, not like you.
-[bat cracks] -Why don't you like me?
'Cause you're a pain in the ass,
always asking me if I like you.
-Not always. -Often enough.
Trust me, loving you is better than liking you,
'cause loving you means I got to be there for you
even when you're a pain in the ass.
That's brothers, dummy.
Hey, you want to go fishing later?

I'm just saying, he's a pretty persuasive guy.
You would've been a real easy mark
in the Garden of Eden.
Why the fuck are you bringing up the Bible?
Easy to tempt, easy to sway.
Okay, I got there, and I got a little drunk

Yeah, I'm sure he made it seem that way.
And I got it in my head
that maybe I'd be better off with him instead of you,
because you don't listen to me, Jack.
And he said I could stop being a heel,
which I really want to stop being, man.
You're winning the belt next week.
It's not about the belt!
[Jack] No, it's about turning you back into a face.
We're gonna turn Bill into a monster heel.

I didn't drive to Florida to steal back my stud horse.
I drove to Florida to protect my brother

You humiliated me in front of an entire town.
Who the hell were you protecting me from then?
[Jack] Yourself.
I didn't think you were ready for the big-time,
and I didn't want to watch you drink yourself to death
in six months.
Oh, for fuck's sakes, Jack.
Watch Rick Flair's 30 for 30.
I would've been fine.
Did you and Willie plant the Kleenex
in the crowd that night?
Fuck you.
Fuck you for asking me that question.
How dare you ask me that question?
If I could go back, there's a ton of shit I'd do different.
But I spent my whole life watching you and hav--

Gully don't wanna give you a home.
He wants to kill the DWL.
He drenches shows in blood. That's fine.
It's not the real kind of blood...
the important kind, brother kind.
Okay, enough.
Did it ever occur to you fuck nuts
to hop in the ring and stop that shit?
I thought it was a goddamn promo.
It was a fuckin' promo, all right,
for Jack fucking Spade.
Let's go fuck some faces up in Duffy.
See how they wrestle at the fair
when they're eatin' through straws.

Hey, Rooster, put some words to your smirk.
-Nah, I'm good. -[Paul] You sure?
'Cause nothin' happened like this before you got here.
Maybe it was your idea, you fuckin' turncoat.
Well, if it was my idea,
I would've wrote a move where I broke Jack Spade's back.
But I'm new here.
So what say you, then?
Shall we weapon up and ride to Duffy?
Violence is your game, but Jack just beat you at that.
Now, if you really want to win,
you got to beat him at his game.
See, Jack controls everything the crowd thinks and feels--
who's good, who's bad, who wins, who loses.
Ain't nobody got power but him.
Does the same thing to his wrestlers,
especially Ace.
Ace was jumping ship.
Yeah, 'cause I said, he'd get the belt.
Oh, you talking about my motherfucking belt.
That's another conversation,
but that's not the only thing you promised him, though,
is it?
I said he'd get to be a good guy again.
Exactly.
See, the only thing he really cares about
is the crowd liking him.
Don't try to understand why.
That's just his childlike need, but after tonight,
I guarantee you that Jack is promising him that back.
See, he just whupped your ass in your ring.
Now you got to go whoop his ass in his

in their ring at the fair.
I like how you summed that up at the end.

Look, wrestling sometimes is about creating a situation.
-Manipulating a situation. -Scripting a story.
I know all about wrestling and your writing, Jack.
Use whatever words for the Kleenex you want.
Here's a few-- deceptive, cunning, unkind.
The Kleenex idea was just a thing that--
It was--it was--it was-- Things went a certain way.
You went a certain way, Jack, not things.
You beat Ace on his big night.
You bought the props to provoke him
when he was trying to win back the crowd.
You attacked him at the hospital in front of Thomas,
and now you drove down to fucking Florida
to assault a man.
Charlie Gully was trying to poach him.
Each action and each situation you could have resisted.
You embraced 'em. You fucking leaned in.
I needed to.
You say that, but that's not true.
Necessity is a fucking fiction here, Jack,

and manipulation.

like the whole town hated him.
Worked because you know how much he just wants
to be seen as a winner, like we all do.
Hey, Staci, that's between me and Ace, not us.
I'm tied into you both. We all are.
Okay, let's talk about Ace.
The night that I ended the match,
earlier in that day, he went and saw Helen Cooper
and he told her that our dad thought
that she was such a gluttonous beast
that he was surprised that she didn't eat her dead dog.
Well, I didn't know that.
And seconds before we went out,
he told me that just like our dad,
I was gonna stay in Duffy
just long enough to kill myself.
Well, I can see why you might not have told me that.
Well, can you see that I'm trying to protect him,
that I care how people see him, including you,
that I definitely realized that he's a stupid kid
who says stupid shit, and it's--it's juvenile,
and it's impulsive, and it's dangerous,
but I also know that if you yank it all back,
he's a good guy.
Staci, the world don't always
give you chances to sort yourself out.
It--it remembers when you fuck up
a-and who you fuck up with and who you mistreat.
So I thought maybe just before he charges out into the world,
all ego as just a little kid who's so frail
that he cries when he's booed
and so unhinged that he snaps his friend's leg
because he thinks he got his heart broken,
I thought maybe I would-- I thought maybe I'd just--
I'd let him grow up a little bit...
that if he was gonna make mistakes,
he could make them in front of me...
...because our dad...
...he gifted us with a mean streak,
and I got to tell you, it's a motherfucker.
I am well aware.
It's dumb...
and it's stupid...
but I have someone standing right in front of me
who grounds me in conversations like this,
and Ace ain't got no one.
So if I have to be my fucking brother's keeper,
then that's what I'm gonna be.
And you can look at me, and you can think
that I'm not being a good big brother,
but that's what I am being, and I ain't never gonna stop.
Jack, the true story
of who you two can become as brothers...
as friends, as people, it can't start without honesty.
I can't tell him about the Kleenex.
He'll hate me.
Maybe, maybe not.
It's still better than lying.
[sighs]
Jack, how you act is who you are.
And I'm not in our home right now
because I need you to witness the fact that I am worried.
I'm worried that you think the success of the DWL
and however that is achieved is more important
than you being a good guy.
And I'm not attracted to that person.
I am so invested in us,
but I feel so far away from you right now.
If you don't fix who you're becoming, you're gonna lose me.
