All American

Previously on "All American"...

Where'd that trick play come from?

Crenshaw's playbook.

We're gonna have to come up with a whole new playbook

since someone gave Malibu ours.

As soon as I tell my dad what you did,

you're off this team.

You serious right now?

I don't want this to affect our friendship.

I do.

So, you don't want to be friends?

No, I want to be more than friends.

The sports committee received an anonymous tip.

I'm afraid you all are gonna have to get drug-tested today.

You put your all into some game

and then for what?

I guess for me, there's just

more to life than just football.

What happens if a player tests positive?

Oh, they get suspended for the playoffs.

I'm gonna fail.

I used to coach with your dad.

I even recommended he take over

at Beverly when I left.

And Billy Baker, that man,

he'll do anything to get what he wants.

I don't like being summoned, Shawn Scott.

This here's everything I saved.

So, why you giving me this?

Because I want out.

I want to take my little girl out of here.

Hoping this here buys me that.

Looks like we got a deal.

Just took me throwing some paper Tyrone's way

and now we all square.

This here is for bonez.

Wait.

Shawn. Shawn!

Spencer James.

I need you to come play for me.

How could you not tell me, Spencer?

- Ma. - Don't "ma" me right now.

Tell me that going to Beverly

isn't the best thing for you, baby.

I don't know if I can do this.

You can and you will.

I say forget this place and bounce.

Who wouldn't?

Hey!

Headed in the wrong direction.

Rodeo drive is the other way.

Look at me, Spence.

I'm going way higher than you, Shawn.

Man, you trippin'.

Coop, who's winning?

I am.

Coop always wins.

Come on, let's go, let's go!

Wide, 300.

Here! Here! Here!

No, no, no!

Sloppy. Sloppy.

Is this the team that just won

the division championship? Huh?

- Yeah, coach. - Play like it! Please!

Get it together. Come here, j.

Yeah.

What's going on with you out there?

I'm just used to Asher running that route.

I don't care who's running what route.

You throw a lazy pass like that,

the d's gonna swallow it right up.

Yeah.

Now, where's your focus?

Where do you think my focus is?

- Look, Jordan... - No, no, look.

You and I both know as soon as those

drug test results come in, I'm done.

Listen to me. Until we hear anything,

you are my qb.

Do you understand me?

- Yeah. - What did I say?

- I'm your qb. - All right.

Now, just run the damn offense.

- Yeah. Ok. - All right.

All right, y'all. Huddle up.

I understand it's been a tough week.

I understand that.

I don't care.

If you play the way you have been playing,

we are gonna be one and done in playoffs.

Do you understand me?

- Yes, sir. - Do you understand me?

Yes, sir!

Now, I said at the start of the season,

you win, you get recognized.

Well, we won.

"The L.A. Tribune" has announced

their regular season awards,

and I'm humbled as I tell you

that I have been named division coach of the year.

Thank you. All right.

For real, I could not have won

without each and every one of you players giving your all.

And that includes the division player of the year,

Mr. Spencer James.

All right. I'm proud of all of y'all.

We got a scrimmage on Monday,

so, be better.

- You heard? - Yes, sir.

- You heard? - Yes, sir!

All right, hit the showers.

Spencer, stay behind.

Hey. Congratulations, brother.

All right, man, get out of here.

Hey, I'm sorry I missed that practice, coach.

I know you've been going through a lot.

Time's gonna take care of a lot of that, but, uh,

I need you here, Spence.

Seem like everybody wants me to be

somewhere right now.

Back home, they calling me a role model.

Everybody looking up to me and I'm...

Look, I'm trying to be there for them.

I am... Look.

We've been invited to a ceremony

where they want to give us our awards.

I think it could be good for you.

I gotta give a speech?

A short one. You know,

thank family, the players.

Me, of course.

- You? - Yeah. Are you gonna thank me?

I'll think about it.

I'm proud of you, Spencer.

- Thank you, coach. - All right.

You save your "thank you" for the podium.

Right. I told you this would happen

if you came to play for me.

If you keep playing like this,

you'll be All American.

Quintell Dennis.

Marcus heard. Tyson Glover.

Jamerrill Maxwell.

Shawn Scott.

I'm tired, y'all.

- That's right. - This list

just keeps growing.

How many more names do I need to read in here?

I've known Shawn Scott since

before he could walk.

He should be sitting right here,

next to his beautiful mother.

Instead, we're saying good-bye

to him on Tuesday.

We have children leaving our neighborhoods

just to stay alive.

Y'all ain't tired?

This endless cycle of violence.

Whose name am I gonna read in here next?

Yours? Yours? How about yours?

Am I gonna read your name in here next?

Spencer, thank you.

How's everyone doing?

Coop's hurting real bad.

Shawn's mom's a strong woman.

It ain't fair, man. I can't imagine burying two sons.

Two?

Yeah. Shawn's brother died last year.

So, how long you been out here?

Uh, about an hour.

I really wanted to be here for you, with you,

but, um, wasn't sure if I should go inside.

Why?

Well, we haven't really defined this, um...

What, relationship?

So, it is a relationship.

I just... I wasn't sure.

I mean, I wanted it to be, obviously,

but we haven't had the official, like,

"hey, are we together?" Talk, so I don't...

Yeah, I know.

Good talk.

You didn't talk the whole ride.

What's on your mind?

You thinking about what pastor weeks said?

- Nope. - Well, I am.

He's always saying the same thing.

Well, maybe if kids stopped dying,

then he'd change his material.

I don't want him reading your name.

- I'll be all right. - No, not if you keep talking

all that revenge stuff.

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know.

I don't know. Walk away?

You think if this happened to me,

Shawn would've walked away?

No! No, he would be doing

exactly what you're doing right now,
