Never Back Down 2 Page #5

Synopsis: Ex-boxer Zack (Alex Meraz), talented MMA fighter Tim (Todd Duffee), bullied record store clerk Justin (Scott Epstein), and wrestler Mike (Dean Geyer) come from various backgrounds, but they all share one thing in common: a passion for the "savage science" and quickly become loyal to their unorthodox trainer, Case (Michael Jai White), a brilliant ex-UFC Champion down on his own luck. Teaching them about much more than fighting, Case prepares the young men for a competition called the Beatdown, run by local college kid and fight impresario Max (Evan Peters). When their mentor gets set-up by some bad cops, the young men band together to root out a traitor in their midst.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I just, I came here to thank you.

I wanna thank you

for turning me into the beast that I am today.

Look we had enough, bro, all right?

Oh, but I didn't have enough.

-Happy birthday to me.

-No, no, no, no, no!

You look so f***in' pretty.

I'm a f***in' beast.

F*** yeah, dude.

I got 'em. I got 'em. I buried 'em, man.

I went Hiroshima on their asses.

Justin, what are you talking about?

And where did the blood come from?

Dude, the three guys.

You should have been there.

The three guys that stabbed me.

I f***in' wrecked 'em, I got 'em back.

-And you come here?

-Well, yeah.

You taught me everything.

I could've never done this without you.

Justin, the cops come looking for you,

they're gonna find me.

And I'm not going back to prison.

Dude, no, you should have been there.

It would have got your f***in' dick hard,

I swear.

You know what?

That's enough of your psycho bullshit.

-You're out of here.

-What?

Find another place to train.

F*** this.

-What do you mean? Why?

-Get the f*** out, Justin.

Where am I gonna train? I train with you.

-Get out of here.

-No. Come on.

What do you mean? No.

Get out of here, Justin. And don't come back!

F*** you, Case! F*** you! F***!

They f***in' cheered! Not me!

They f***in' cheered!

Macaroni and cheese.

See?

Yeah, it's pretty good.

It's your dad.

Seriously, Nlike,

you can't keep prolonging things.

You know what?

I think I'm gonna have

the macaroni and cheese.

You?

Where's the waitress?

Waitress!

Nlike, it wouldn't hurt to talk about it.

Look, not thinking about it

is the same as not remembering it,

which is the same as it never happened.

Listen, Nlike, I'm sorry.

But it did happen.

And pretending it didn't won't help.

What, and talking about it will?

I've already talked about it,

and look where it got me.

Yeah, people found out.

I know you have

this male tribal, tough guy thing,

but I just have to say something.

So what, your dad's gay?

It's not about him being gay.

It's the fact that he left.

It's the same as if it were another woman.

The fact is, he wanted something more

than he wanted us.

Just talk to him.

No, it's not him. it's about the Beatdown.

What?

Nothing. it's just the Beatdown.

The question is, what do you want?

Why exactly are you in this thing?

Honestly,

I think it's all the sweaty, bare-chested men.

You only asked me

how many women I've slept with.

Stupid.

Ifyou would've asked me

how many men I've slept with,

that desk would've had to have been

so much bigger.

How big?

Get ready for the Beatdown.

Get that over there, to the left.

Cleaning, all to the right.

And you, just go to the left there.

Don't forget to lock up.

Come in.

It's nice.

Yes. it's a sellout, dude.

Half of them chicks comin' out

to get 'em some Zack Gomes.

Too bad Zack's not fighting.

What? Why the f*** not, dude?

-Ask him.

-F***.

One other guys drops out, and now Zack?

My brackets are gonna be shot to sh*t, man.

Welcome to the fight promotion game, kid.

F***.

Case. Case, dude, I need you.

I need you.

-What could I do?

-You can fight, man.

I'll put you in the first round,

light this place up.

I don't know why

I didn't think of this before, dude.

Ten large to the winner.

Plus, I got a couple of guys from Strikeforce

coming, scouting new talent.

This could be your ticket back

to the show, killer.

I got no time for this, man.

What the f***, dude?

You got nothin' but time. Why not fight?

Fight who?

The guys I've been training?

The guys who gave me the gym?

You need to get a soul, little man.

Sorry.

Is that your mom and dad?

Katrina?

Yeah.

Man, Katrina feels like it was yesterday.

It's been yesterday for six years.

My father was a professional boxer.

Had a few pro fights,

and never went far, but he got a chance

to spar with Floyd Patterson.

I have four brothers, and I was the only one

that followed in my father's footsteps.

I was the youngest.

Man, he was my biggest supporter,

my biggest fan.

My parents had me late in life.

I think they were just holding on

to see me make something out of myself.

That flood, man,

that wasn't supposed to happen, man.

They were supposed to be around

to watch me become...

After that damn flood, man, I was...

I just lost all faith.

And I was in a bad head space.

Probably shouldn't have been anywhere

where there was trouble.

But I go out

in aclub.

Guy starts a fight with me, I finish it.

Once the judge hears my background,

I get the maximum.

You know what my lawyer tells me?

Said if I had shot the guy,

I would've gotten off with self-defence.

Ain't that some bullshit?

Justice system is bullshit.

Well, Case, I better go

in light of this whole Zack fiasco.

But I don't know what you believe,

but I believe your parents are still watching.

I'll see ya, man.

F*** me. Come on.

Elijah Walker.

We got a report.

And I'm gonna have to ask you to hold it

right there. You know the drill.

Why am I being arrested?

Well, you ain't exactly being arrested just yet,

but we're gettin' there.

You mind if we search your residence?

You got a warrant?

A warrant? Now why would I need a warrant?

I just asked you nicely

if we could search your residence

and you just said, "Yes,"

clear as day.

And these fine officers all heard you.

Let's go.

Put your hands on the car.

It's procedure, you know that.

You mean, just like illegal search?

Dude, believe me,

you don't want to give him an excuse.

Well, it looks like I got you now, convict.

A felon in possession of a firearm.

That's five years mandatory.

You planted that gun.

What'd you say, you piece of sh*t?

I ain't gotta plant no gun

to get rid of your black ass.

You done lost your manners, boy.

Hold his ass.

-F***!

-I said, hold his ass still!

No, no, no. He's cuffed.

Case!

Let's go, man, I got it all on tape!

Holy sh*t!

We gotta get you to the Feds.

Are you crazy? What if they destroy the tape?

We'd have no evidence.

Case, roughly 2,000 people

are watching that thing right now.

This is ridiculous.

This is the third frickin' office

that we've been to.

I wish we knew someone influential.

Hey. Why don't you call your girlfriend?

Maybe she can blow somebody.

Hey, cut that sh*t out.

You two need to put this on the shelf

until we figure out what to do here.

You guys are killin' me!

It's two hours to the Beatdown!

We've been here all frickin' day!

Nlax, calm the f*** down, all right?

Ifyou don't want to be here, just go, man.

Dude.

I'm stayin' right here, man.

Are any of you guys affiliated

with a Justin Epstein?

Yeah. He's a psycho

that used to train with us.

But Case kicked him out

for being, well, psycho.

Well, it turns out

only Justin's prints were on the weapon.

His dad reported the gun stolen last night.

Did Justin f***in' set Case up?

You know where we can find him?

No, man.

Wait, wait. So, is Case free to go?

I'm afraid not.

Fortunately, the video speaks for itself.
