He's training on his own.

So, Ki Ki, what do you think?

I'm ready or what?

-Yes, thanks. Thanks a lot.

-Kurt.

Let's talk.

One day, that dog is going

to believe in me. What's up?

I don't want you to fight him.

-What?

-l don't want you to fight Tong Po.

You know what l'm saying.

Eric, he put you

in that wheelchair for life.

That's right. And l don't want

you in one alongside me.

Give it up, let's go home.

I should have listened to you.

And now it's your turn to listen to me.

-No, look at me. I can beat him.

-That's what I thought.

I trained Muay Thai with the old man.

-lt's different.

-Tong Po is a killer, Kurt.

Wake up. He's not gonna let you

out of that ring alive.

Eric, I'm in the best shape of my life.

I'm a better fighter than l ever was

before. Than you ever were.

I can beat Tong Po.

I'll win that fight for you and me.

Kurt. Kurt, come quick.

Let's go.

-What's going on?

-A message from Freddy Li.

Why is he dressed like that?

He's wearing the traditional robes

of a messenger...

...sent to bring news of a fight,

the ancient way.

Ancient way?

He says, you will fight the old ways.

Hands wrapped in hemp and resin

dipped in broken glass.

Bullshit.

-Kurt?

-l have to go.

Wait a goddamn minute. You're not

gonna fight that a**hole like that.

Kurt, listen to me.

I'll kick your ass all over the place.

Kurt, listen to me!

Damn.

This is Stone City,

where many ancient warriors come.

While you train here, listen.

Tao Liu. Master warlord,

I come with a good news and request.

Speak.

I have arranged a fight between

Tong Po and American challenger.

He has been trained by Xian Chow.

-Xian Chow?

-The American will not win.

I promise you.

They will fight the ancient way.

In the old underground tomb.

What is your request?

I want to borrow $1 million

to bet on Tong Po.

I trust you will not fail me.

It's all being arranged.

No, no, no.

No.

Tong Po.

Get him, Ki Ki.

Eric, where are you, buddy?

We gotta get going.

I got held up on some business, and--

-What the hell happened?

-Freddy Li.

-You were here?

-No.

You think I would have

let them take him if l was?

You've done it before.

Taylor, Ki Ki's still alive.

Take us to town.

To the doctor.

Please.

I'll get the van.

They want to make sure you not win.

You can find him.

If you're smart, do whatever

they tell you or they'll kill both of you.

Come on, Winston. Help me.

I ain't crossing Freddy Li.

Okay, go. Be a chickenshit

all your life.

Like l said before,

I don't need your help.

-You must help Kurt.

-l'm out of it.

Listen to me.

Tong Po....

Tong Po raped me.

But l did not tell Kurt.

His mind must be clear for the fight.

So you see...

...you must help him find Eric.

Tong Po.

Tong Po, Tong Po, Tong Po!

Seven.

-You going to go?

-Maybe.

I'll go in.

Xian?

Where is he?

Hey, you want brother alive?

My bro--?

Make crowd happy.

Let Tong Po punish you

all the rounds.

You must last to the end.

Or brother die very slowly.

You understand, huh?

Go on, kill him.

I was waiting for you, Winston.

-Why so late?

-Sorry I took so long.

Traffic was a mess.

There's a big fight in town.

Thanks. Now we're even.

Now Ki Ki even too.

You bleed like Mylee.

Mylee good f***.
