What? Mr...

They're gonna kill me.

Two points to win.

Go. Hit him two times.

Focus, focus. Come on.

Dre!

Come on, Dre!

That's a warning.

You cannot run out of the mat.

Next time, you lose a point.

Go. Hey, be strong.

Come on, Dre.

Good job. Next time, no face.

- I'm sorry, I can't help it.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Next point, winner.

Come on, baby!

Yeah!

That's right, baby!

Go.

Dre Parker advances to the semi-finals!

From now on, semi-final matches.

Three points to win.

Be kind of hot

if I won this thing, right, Mr. Han?

Be kind of hot if you focus.

Yeah, well, after that.

And now the first semi-final of the evening...

Next semi-final

introducing Fighting Dragon, Liang...

...and the surprise finalist, Dre Parker.

But, I can beat him.

I do not want him beaten.

I want him broken.

Empty your mind.

Focus.

You're disqualified!

Be still. Xiao Dre.

You okay?

Don't move. Don't move.

He's done.

I'm sorry, you should not continue.

You've brought honor to your family.

Doctor says you did great.

You okay, baby?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Dre Parker has 2 minutes

to return to the match.

If he is unable to return...

...the Fighting Dragons win by default.

Can you guys give us a second?

Yeah, okay. Sure, baby, whatever you need.

Do you think I could have won?

Win or lose doesn't matter, Xiao Dre.

You know that's not what I mean.

Yes. I think you had a good chance.

So let's do the fiery cup thing.

You don't need to fight anymore.

You have proven everything

you need to prove.

What, that I can get beat up easy

and then quit?

That's not balance. That's not real kung fu.

You said that when life knocks you down,

you could choose

whether or not to get back up.

Well, I'm trying to get back up,

and why won't you help me?

Because I cannot watch you

get hurt anymore.

Please, Mr. Han.

Please.

Just tell me, Xiao Dre, why?

Why you need to

go back out there so badly?

Because I'm still scared.

No matter what happens,

tonight, when I leave,

I don't want to be scared anymore.

Since Dre Parker has not

returned to the ring...

Dre Parker will fight!

Xiao Dre.

Come on, Dre. You can do this, Dre.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm okay.

I want you...

...to break his leg.

No mercy.

The score is tied, the next point wins!

Can you continue?

Come on, Dre.

Finish him!

You won!

Dre! Dre!

I'm so proud of you!

Good.
