[Hong Kong]

- Let's go! 60 seconds to target. Jax, is the perimeter secured?

- Locked down tight!

- It better be, l want Kano.

- Trust me, Sonya!

- l trust 1 person on this planet, Jax. You’re talking to her.

———————————————————

- Good boy. (hangs up phone)

She's here.

Right on time.

l love punctuality in a woman...

don't you...

Mr. Shang Tsung?

Now, you're sure she's gonna follow me?

- You killed her partner, didn't you?

She'll follow you into hell.

Just make sure she's on that boat.

Sonya Blade must be at the tournament.

- Maybe me and Sonya should share a cabin. Have our own little honeymoon cruise.

- lf you so much as touch her, Kano...

you’re going to need a seeing eye dog.

———————————————————-

- Where's Kano?

Where is he?

———————————————————

———————————————————

[Los Angeles]

- Let's dance.

This is where you fall down.

Where do you get these guys?!

And the press says l don't know how to do this stuff?

- Cut! Alright people, reset. Back in 15 minutes.

- No we’re not doing it again.

- What do you mean you’re not doin—

- l mean I’m not doing it again

- Johnny it's the last shot of the picture, where are you going?

- I’m gonna go to my trailer, I’m gonna get a gun,

and I’m gonna shoot myself for being in your movie!

- (no you cant leave me hangin).. they’ll kill me, l'll be back directing traffic.

Johnny! Don't leave me hanging up here!

You're killing me, Johnny! l love ya, l need ya.

- Johnny! Excuse me Johnny,

there's, uh, someone over there who wants to speak to you.

- Who is it?

- l don't really know.

- You let somebody on the set, you dont know who it is?

- No, of course not. l...

- lt better not be a reporter.

- Oh God, no....

You want me to find out?

- Oh, great.

Hey! Mister, you're in my chair.

[''Johnny Cage A Fake!'']

- Hi, Johnny.

- Master Boyd.

- I see the, uh, press is still giving you a hard time.

- Yeah, they think l'm a fake.

- Johnny, you're one of the best martial artists in the world. l can help you prove it.

- Prove it? How?

- A tournament. The tournament.

lt's held once a generation.

The best fighters in the world are invited.

You win the tournament, you win their respect.

They'll tell the entire world you're the real goods.

- So how do l...?

- There's a boat. Leaves pier forty...

Hong Kong, tomorrow.

Be on it.

———————————————————

———————————————————-

[''The Temple of Light, China'']

- Liu.

- ls this the place?

- Yes.

This is where we found his body.

- What happened?

- After you left for America...

he followed in your footsteps.

Preparing for the tournament.

- Grandfather ... it wasn't enough you filled my head with that nonsense?

- To save the world is not nonsense.

- Men fighting in a simple contest don't decide these things, Grandfather.

How can you, a wise man, believe this?

-We all believe in it...

including your brother.

———————————————————

- Liu Kang has been given the dream.

He is the Chosen One.

- No. He left our temple.

Turned his back on us.

Why have you come back?

- l want to represent the Order of Light at the Tournament!

- For what reason?

- The man who killed my brother will be there.

- That cannot be your only reason for going...

or you will fail.

-Oh yes, l forgot.

We're fighting for the fate of the world!

- That's why you left the temple and ran away, isn't it?

The Great Tournament was too much responsibility.

But vengeance...

that's so much simpler.

- Lord Raiden!

- You're still running away

from your destiny.

- Raiden?

Grandfather, get up!

This isn't your God of Thunder. He's just a beggar!

- Spare him, my Lord Raiden. American life has enfeebled his mind.

Too much television.

- So, you're going to win the tournament?

- Yes, l am.

- Show me how.

Oh, don't tell me you're afraid of a.....

.....simple beggar?

- lf you are Raiden...

why did you let Chan die?

Why didn't you protect him?

- Why didn't you?

- l've had enough of this.

l'm going to find my brother's killer at the tournament.

With or without your consent.

-He isn't ready, my Lord...

and we’ve lost so much time.

- l know.

But there is no one else.

———————————————————

———————————————————

[''Chai Wan Bay, Hong Kong'']

- Ah, give me a break.

Hey.

[''Johnny Cage Fake!'']

-Look....

Don’t let em get to you.

- Yeah, sure.

Hey, you’re Art Lean, aren’t you?

Man l saw you fight in London, you were great.

- Thanks. l saw a couple of your films.

Listen, you can't fake those moves.

- Yeah, well, tell that to the press.

———————————————————

- Hey pal..

...when the ship comes in, could you put these on board?

- You want me to carry your luggage?

- Yeah. l pay money, you carry the bags.

Or is that too complicated?

- No.

l got it.

- Good.

Thank God l didn't ask him to park the car.

———————————————————

- Nothing says that creep at the club wasn't lying his ass off.

Kano could be 1000 miles from here by now.

What is that?

[You must be kidding me.]

- That’s him!

- Hold on!

- That's it, baby...

come to Papa.

- Sonya, don't get on that thing!

Hey, Sonya!

- Hey, you.

Alright, tough guy, you want to get...

tough?

- No. Do you?

- Hi. l'm Johnny Cage.

And you are?

- Where's Kano?

- l don't know who you're talking about.

But l’m sure I can help you find him.

- Out of my way.

- Just another starstruck fan, huh?

———————————————————

- lt’s an honor to finally meet you, Sonya.

Shang Tsung at your service.

- l'm looking for a murderer.

He boarded this ship.

- l'm impressed.

But it is my boat, and if you'd like a tour...

l'd love to give it to you myself.

- Be nice to the lady.

She's doing her job.

- When l want back-up..

l'll radio for it.

- Got that radio handy?

- Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

Deadliest of enemies...

but slaves under my power.

- Move aside.

- Enough!

- Lord Raiden.

How good of you to grace us with your...

presence.

- Your sideshow freaks attacked my fighters.

That is expressly forbidden before the tournament...

as your emperor well knows.

- My sincere apologies.

lt won't happen again, l promise you.

- l shall see to that.

- Of course.

Until we reach the island...

where you have no dominion.

- My dominions are well known to me,

sorcerer. Thank you.

- What tournament?

- You've been chosen, Sonya.

Much to my delight.

- You really are Raiden.

- Come with me.

———————————————————

- Got a guy with things comin out of his hand, we got another guy who freezes stuff...

and then there’s man, who as far as I can tell, is made out of electricity.

I mean, how did he disappear like that, what's going on here, who is this guy?!

- Let's just think this through.

There is a rational explanation for this.

- He's Raiden.

God of Lightning & Protector of the Realm of Earth.

- Great.

- There's your rational explanation.

- Listen.
