Game, Blouses! What?

You lost LeBron James?

And his son? For real?

You better find that dude. He on my fantasy team.

I didn't lose LeBron, so stop saying that!

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, come on, man.

Listen, his wife keeps calling me every ten minutes.

Now, I gotta get back to her soon or she gonna kill me, man.

Look, does my name badge say, "LeBron Finder"?

"LeBron Locator"? No, it doesn't.

But isn't it your job to secure something?

With all due respect, I went to school for six months to be accredited as a security specialist, specializing in the securial arts.

And the sooner you come to terms with the fact that you lost the world's greatest athlete, the sooner you'll be able to move on with your life.

I'm a professional! An avid professional, man!

[cell phone ringing]

I ain't lose LeBron, and I ain't ask you about your...

Hey, Kamiyah.

Yeah, I got the funniest story to tell you.

Oh, snap! I gotta call you back.

I'm driving through a canyon right now.

He ain't in no canyon.

He in my office, violating my personal space!

I'm driving through a canyon right here!

He need to get back on his business and find LeBron.

Code ten! Code ten!

[Malik mimics static]

You... I can't hear...

Malik.

You have zero seconds to tell me where my husband and my son are.

[Al G.] Okay, young prince, time to rebuild your character.

[Dom] Al, have you done this before?

[Al G.] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I upgrade things all the time.

I mean, look at Pete, for instance.

He was hideous, now he's adorable. Right, Pete?

[Pete cooing]

Ugh. Don't...

Don't look at Pete, okay? Just focus on yourself.

That's the character customization menu from my game.

Yes, it is. Now, with this, you can become the player that your dad always wanted you to be.

Best part is, you get to do it your way.

You have control.

[blows]

Seventy-five? You're good with 75?

Come on! We didn't come here to be three-quarters.

Pete's a 75, he can't even rebound.

[exclaims, grumbles]

Come on, Dom. Let's go.

Dream big, son. Turn up.

Turn up.

[powering up]

That's it. Now you're living.

Let's go! Yes!

[powering up]

Ha-ha! Yes.

Now, you are finally gonna be who you really are.

Captain of my basketball team.

["Get Ready (2013 Version)" playing]

[scatting]

Whoa, wait a minute. Take it. Swish!

[plays along to song]

Watch me do it.

Come on, Pete. Running man on 'em. Whoo!

[Dom] Wait, wait, wait...

Running man on 'em. Huh?

You said we were rebuilding my character.

You never said anything about me actually playing in the game.

Look, do you want your dad to respect you or not?

Yeah, but...

No, Dom. No buts.

[in distorted voice] You want your dad to respect you,

you beat him in a game of your own creation.

Dads don't understand reason, Dom.

They understand power.

You take the power.

You gotta make him respect you.

You make him see that you are special.

Do it. Upgrade me.

[grunts]

[snaps fingers]

[powering up]

[hip-hop music playing]

[chuckling] Yeah! Feel it!

[laughs]

Yeah!

[cooing]

Oh! [laughs]

Yeah!

Yo! I got handles!

You got mad handles.

There's no way we're gonna get beat now.

Hey, how about we show your teammates some love?

Have some fun with it.

[grunts, giggles]

[ball bouncing]

And remember, Dom, no rules, okay?

Forget about fundamentals.

Okay. I think I can make a few customizations.

Ooh.

[Al G. chuckles]

I'm sure you can.

[Al G. chuckles]

[snarls]

[Malik] And now Bron won't answer my calls or texts or anything.

It's almost like...

It's almost like they were abducted, all right?

What?

Now, we gotta rule out all possibilities here.

Now, I'm talking about aliens, okay? The government.

Uh, the New York Knicks.

[cell phone chimes]

[Kamiyah scoffs]

Guys, guys. Dad just tweeted.

Thank God! About what?

Okay.

Said he's playing in a game later today.

[Kamiyah] Is that Dom? [Darius] Yeah. Some kinda...

Game?

...epic live event that you can stream on this app.

Weird.

[Malik] I just had a thought, okay?

Now, if he's tweeting from his phone right now, then that means you can...

I can track him on my phone.

That's what I was gonna say.
