CUT TO:
EXT. INDUSTRIAL ROAD - EARLY MORNING
Mark runs hard past warehouses and auto repair outlets.
CUT TO:
EXT. FIELD AND HILL NEXT TO CAR DEMOLITION YARD - MORNING
Mark runs through knee-high weeds dragging a CAR TIRE
attached to a rope behind him. He reaches a hill and heads
straight up, dragging the tire all the way
MARK (V.O.)
Coach Teller? This is Mark Schultz-

INT. MARK’S APARTMENT - DAY
An ink-stained directory of Wisconsin Public Schools lies
open on the kitchen table.
MARK (ON PHONE)
I won a freestyle wrestling gold
medal at the ‘84 Olympics.
Mark, the phone tucked against his shoulder, slips a BLANK
TAPE into a cheap VCR. He slides a HAND-LABELED TAPE into a
second VCR, wired to the first. We can read the label: “THE
MARK SCHULTZ WRESTLING CLINIC.” He starts making a copy.
MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
I’m arranging a clinic in your area
next weekend, and I wanted to
invite you and some of your
wrestlers to join...
JUMP CUT TO:
MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
That’s Dave, my brother. I wrestle
at 180... No, he won’t be there,
just me... Okay - well, good luck
with your season, coach.
JUMP TO:
On the screen is a montage of highlights from Mark’s career:
take downs, pins. He’s an animal - powerful, aggressive.
MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
Yes, there’s a small fee.
JUMP TO:
MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
S-C-H-U-L-T-Z....
JUMP TO:
On the screen, Mark wrestles Resit Karabajak, a Turkish
wrestler, in his first round match at the ‘84 Olympics.
MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
A unique, character-building
opportunity for young wrestlers....
Yes, a small fee...
Mark throws Karabajak to the mat. Pins him. Walks away, arms
raised. Crowd cheers. Karabajak’s on the mat, hurt.

MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
Dave’s my brother...
On screen, Mark does a back flip.
JUMP TO:
MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
Olympic Champion...
Mark does a back flip.
MARK (ON PHONE) (CONT’D)
Dave’s my brother...
JUMP TO:
Mark’s holds the phone on his lap, just watching himself on
the screen, wrestling... winning... match after match...
EXT. MARK’S APARTMENT/OUTSIDE WALKWAY - EVENING
Mark’s outside at the second floor railing of this two-story
stucco building, looking out over the bleak landscape: a 711,
an Auto-Zone. He eats a hard-boiled egg. He watches a CAR
pull into the lot below. Dave gets out, looks up.
DAVE:
Where were you today?
CUT TO:
INT. MARK’S APARTMENT - MOMENTS LATER
Dave fills two mismatched glasses with tap water from the
faucet.
DAVE:
How far’d you run? Ten?
Mark’s on the tattered couch. He shrugs, though we should see
