Ryan Hall:
Is that you, Dad?

Jimmy Hall:
Yeah, It's me, buddy.

Ryan Hall:
What happened?

Jimmy Hall:
My fight didn't go too well.

Ryan Hall:
Did you win?

Jimmy Hall:
No, I got knocked out, kiddo. I got knocked out.

Ryan Hall:
But you always win.

Jimmy Hall:
Well, I couldn't, you know? I just couldn't. [pause] And when I was in that ring getting punched over and over again, I figured out something. Sometimes, I want to fight, but my body, it keeps telling me to stop. And it doesn't matter how hard I punch, it just... I can't do it. And... And when that happens, you know what I do? I let go, Ryan. [pause] And what I figured out is, letting go doesn't mean that you're a quitter. It doesn't mean that you lost. It just means that you realize in that moment that it's time to let go and move on. [pause] So, if it's time, Ryan, it's all right. 'Cause you fought a hell of a fight. Your mother and I, we both love you. Don't you ever forget that.

Ryan Hall:
I love you, too, Daddy. [Hotch sheds one tear]
