Never Back Down: No Surrender Page #2

to be a hell of a fight!

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Hi, good morning.

Joe Kanarot from Now On.

I have just two questions.

The first is, does the PFC

still stand by its policy

of drug tolerance with

absolutely zero drug testing

required by your league?

I'm glad you asked me that

because I feel like it's high time

for all of organized sports

to recognize the inevitable,

and fling open the doors

to unfettered competition.

If there are no regulations,

except those governed by

the laws of common sense,

then there's no cheats.

It's a level playing field.

This is what the fans want

and this is what my organization

plans to give them, thank you.

Even if this means a clear and

present danger to your fighters?

Well, you know what,

I invite you to take a good look

at these two fine specimens

and tell me if

either of them look

like they're in any sort

of medical duress to you.

My next question is

for you, Mr. Caesar.

Can you give us an update on the

assault and battery charges filed

on behalf of your ex-wife?

You want to ask the

question again?

Sure.

Can you give us an update on the

assault and battery charges

filed on behalf of your ex-wife?

Wait, wait, wait!

As you can see, folks, it's

gonna be a hell of a fight.

Not right now.

Okay, that's good, that's

good, Jazzo, yeah.

Yeah, good, good, good.

Okay.

Looking for somebody?

Yeah, yeah. Brody James.

All this come with him?

That's right. 7:
00 a.m.

to 3:
00 p.m.

Fighters only.

We're not open to the public.

Sorry.

T-shirt's some sort

of punishment?

Who the hell are you?

I'm the guy Brody asked to

fly halfway around the world

to help him train

for this fight.

Funny, I thought

that was my job.

After you're done

with your phone call,

maybe you can tell me

where I could set up.

I'll be back after I

do some shopping.

What the hell is this

Bruce Lee sh*t?

"Boards don't hit back."

Man, forget this clown.

Are you okay?

Yeah, fine.

Okay, stick and move,

stick and move!

Don't go after this guy! Step...

Take a step back!

Don't...

Step back!

Don't... What are you doing?

Don't move up!

You gotta go easier, Cobra!

At this rate, nobody

wants to spar with you

and you got three more rounds!

What about him?

No.

Hey, I said no.

What the f***?

What's up, Mr. Miyagi?

Practicing your wax-on, wax-off?

What do you even call that?

Tae Bro?

You know, it's rude

to ignore people.

Didn't your mama

teach you better?

So, who ordered pizza?

Now, it ain't New York pizza,

but it ain't LA neither,

so I don't want to hear

too many complaints.

Hey.

You guys working hard. Hey, Taj.

I would say, "Looking good,"

but we know that is a lie.

Some of you guys

are ugly as hell.

- What's up, Brody?

- Hey, Coach.

- Good to see you.

- Taking care of business, as always.

Case Walker in the house.

Hell yeah, man.

Good to see ya.

Man, welcome to the

Land of Smiles.

I see you already made

yourself at home.

Yeah, yeah, getting there.

I checked in and somehow I don't

think we're in the same hotel.

Yeah, look, mine was

already all booked up.

Since you're a late addition,

you're on my dime.

Man, I'm sorry. Nothin' personal.

I'd do you better if I could.

Got to meet all the guys, right?

Yeah, everybody's real friendly.

Hey, Brody, you know

Blacky Chan here?

Shut the f*** up.

He's here for me.

You got a problem with that?

You bringin' this guy in here

to help you train, champ?

Sure. Why not?

I'm going up against that monster Braga,

I could use all the help I could get.

You're gonna dismantle that

b*tch-ass Brazilian, Brody.

Smartest thing you

ever said, you know?

Hey, Brody.

Come on. I'm going to be

working it right off.

I hate that look. Fine.

My man, Case, always

keeping me honest.

Thought that was my job.

All right, so I go get changed,

do some road work.

What do you want me to do?

I say we do a hard 10k.

We only got five-and-a-half

weeks till you fight Braga,

and we got a lot of

ground to make up.

What do you think, Case?

Well, I would say

do a moderate 5K.

No sense in being too sore

to train tomorrow, right?

Looks like it's settled.

I'll go get changed.

Yo, Matty, what about

sparring partners?

I still got three more rounds.

You got plenty of

people to spar with.

What about Old School here?

I want him.

Nah, nah, nah, it's Case's

first day in the gym.

It's okay. I'll spar with ya.

See? We're all good.

Look, Case, this kid

is pretty tough.

It's okay, Brody.

You go get changed.

Yeah, like hell.

I'm gonna watch this

from right over here.

This is gonna be hell of a show.

What's going on?

New school versus

the old school.

You know, Case could

have been huge.

Just didn't know how

to play the game.

Lots of different ways

to play the game, Brody.

Yeah, but in the end, it all

comes down to winning or losing.

And I think my old pal, Case, is

about to lose the hard way today.

Well, maybe you should tell your new

pal, Cobra, to go about 80% on Case.

What, you got a sweet

spot for Case now?

Come on, he's not

even in your class.

You know, speaking of which,

when are you and me

gonna go a few rounds?

Brody, I tolerate you.

First, because I grew

up with brothers

and I kind of look at you as

one of their idiot friends.

Second, you're married.

Third, even if you weren't...

And fourth, just...

eww!!

You gonna get in the

ring Jet Leroy?

Just let me know

when you're ready.

Come on, Old School,

let's do this!

Dude, I can't wait for

Cobra to wreck this dude!

Speed dial f***ing EMT, man.

The old school is about

to get schooled!

Turn the f***ing phones off!

People wanna see me,

they gotta pay!

You gonna listen to me, okay?

Take it easy in

there, all right?

The more rounds you get in,

the better, you understand?

I'm gonna f***ing waste him.

Don't pretend like you don't

want him outta here, too.

All right, let's go, Cobra!

Let's go, man!

Hang back, hang back!

Hang back!

Okay, okay.

Hang back, Cobra, hang back!

Okay, get him, get him!

Cobra, Cobra! Are you all right?

Cobra.

Somebody call an ambulance.

I don't need this, Matty, I'm okay.

It's regulation, kid.

You get knocked out,

you get checked out.

So, what do you think?

It doesn't look good.

Vega's not going to

be happy about this.

So, you ready to

get this run in?

You know, why don't you

go run by yourself?

What's wrong?

"What's wrong"?

About a minute in, you already

knew you had that kid's number.

And you want to know the

really f***ed up part?

Is that you knew that he knew it,

too, and you still went out there

and just completely kicked

the living sh*t out of him.

What about all that

karate code of honor sh*t

you're always talking about?

Thought you were a better

man than that, Case.

I expected more out of you.

Come on, Brody, you don't

think he had it coming?

Course I did.

I'm just f***in' with you.

Quit being such a p*ssy.

Says here that Case was

undefeated in 42 fights.
