What do you want from me?

I'd really like you to help me

get into the kumite.

But more than that...

...I'd really like to get to know you.

After all, we have all night.

I have to go.

I know.

Good luck today.

Thanks.

Meet me for dinner again tonight?

Sure.

About the kumite, I'm sorry.

I cannot help you.

It's okay.

I'll get over it.

See you.

Where the hell have you been?

You can't just disappear

in the middle of kumite like that!

I got a rep to uphold, you know.

You and Jackson don't tell me nothing.

You guys are driving me crazy!

Right now, hurry up and change.

Pick a brick, any brick.

I know. The bottom one, right?

See? Not a scratch on it.

Neither is this.

For you.

Yo, Frankie.

I hope we don't bump heads.

Come on, let's do it, buddy.

Feel strong today?

I feel fine.

Good. You're a good fighter.

- Good.

- Thanks.

This isn't the first time

I've had to go undercover to get a story.

Chong Li! Chong Li!

Junbi!

Haji!

Hajime!

All right, Frankie! Yeah!

Dux! Dux!

Time to separate the men from the boys.

Just be careful Chong Li doesn't separate

your head from your body.

Go for the gut. He's soft there.

What are you talking about?

Chong Li's weak in the gut.

That's how Parades surprised him.

You listening to me?

Go for the stomach

and stay away from his right leg.

Will you stop worrying, Frankie?

I've got it under control.

You sound like my mother. Man alive.

Junbi!

Haji!

Hajime!

I got him!

What are you doing? Keep going!

Jackson! Jackson!

I put him down!

He's dead! I got him! Yeah!

No! Stop!

Chong Li! Chong Li!

Come back, Frank!

Ray, I'm here.

The doctor says you're going to be okay.

You are lucky you have a head like a rock.

Yeah, you'll be out of here in a week.

I'll get back at Chong Li.

That's a promise.

You think that's what he wants,

someone to share a room with?

Janice, stay out of this.

Frank, I don't want to see you get hurt.

Then don't watch.

If you want to argue, go elsewhere, please.

Sorry.

You're not even trying to understand

what this means to us, are you?

What's to understand about

a bunch of guys...

...who have to prove themselves

by beating each other up?

- Why are you a reporter?

- What does that have to do with it?

Just answer the question.

My father was a reporter.

I was a good writer.

It seemed the right thing to do.

And you want to be the best reporter

you can be, for him and yourself, right?

Yes, that's right.

I'm just trying to be the best I can be.

Not just for me,

for Tanaka, my Shidoshi, too.

Great, Frank, that's just great!

Go right ahead!

I just hope you don't end up like Jackson,

or worse!

But I'm not going to stand around

and watch it.

You're blowing it, Frank.

Forget about the girl.

Forget about getting back

at Chong Li for Ray.

You have a chance to take it all tomorrow.

Do you understand?

You can be the first Westerner

to win this thing.

But you got to have a clear head.

You hear me?

Why are you so interested

in stopping the kumite?

Someone almost got killed there today.

I have a friend fighting in it.

I don't want him to get hurt.

Who is your friend?

His name is...

...Frank Dux.

You guys here for the finals?

There aren't going to be any finals, Dux,

at least not for you.

Don't try to stop me.

We're not. He will.

I didn't come this far to stop now.

You shouldn't have come in the first place.

Take him.

You're really being a hard-ass about this.

Careful.

- Put these on and I won't have to use it.

- It's your last warning.

Inspector, no. We've got to take him back.

Just give us a break.

We've chased you all over Hong Kong.

- Can we stop this?

- Okay, Frank, you win.

But it's wrong what you're doing.

It's a mistake.

I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow.

Now what?

How are we going to stop him?

Follow me.

Time's up. We can't wait any longer.

Give me one more minute.

I give you my word. He'll be here.

We must follow the rules.

Where's Mr. Dux?

I wish everyone would calm down.

I said, he'll be here.

- Too late.

- Too late?

No such thing as too late.

Finally.

- It's about f***ing time!

- Sorry.

How do you feel today, Dux?

I feel good.

I am ready.

Dux, my man!

Junbi!

Haji!

Hajime!

Come on!

Well done.

Junbi!

Haji!

Hajime!

You are next.

Prepare the platform for the final match.

This is it, Frank.

You can make history here today.

You okay?

Yeah.

Junbi!

Haji!

You break my record, now I break you.

Like I break your friend.

Hajime!

Get him! Come on!

Get up!

Right on!

Come on!

More!

Up!

Get up, Frankie!

All right!

Say it!

Matte!

All right!

Mr. Dux, you fought with inspiration.

We of the Kokuryukai salute you.

This is for you, Shidoshi.

So you stomped him real good?

Worse.

What do you mean?

He made him say matte.

All right, Frankie!

Don't you get too cocky.

Because you might have to

go up against me next time.

I promise.

You guys are out of your minds!

I'll drink to that!

By the way, next time you fight...

...try to keep your clothes on.

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere...

...if you ever need me, I'll be there.

I love you, my friend.

Me, too.

Take care.

He's not going to show.

Looks like he did it to us again, huh?

Hey, guys!

You coming or what?

You son of a b*tch.

You're always late!

You're really a pain in the ass,

you know that?

I'm just glad you're on our side, kid.
