Get out of the way!

Man, that was beautiful.

You didn't even think.

Something got in your way, bang!

Down it went!

I gotta go back in there.

- What are you saying?

- I gotta check that guy out.

Technique and killer instinct.

You got it all now, kid.

- No, I gotta get out of here.

- Where you going?

What's wrong? You did the right thing.

You had no choice.

Who is it?

It's me, it's Daniel.

What do you want?

- Can I talk to you?

- I'm busy.

Just give me a minute. Please.

I want to apologise for tonight.

It shouldn't have happened.

You should tell that to the guy

whose nose you broke.

I am. I will.

I just didn't want you leaving

thinking that was me.

It wasn't you?

Then who was it? Conan the Barbarian?

I've been trying to be someone I'm not

and it's not working.

I feel like I'm losing control of everything.

The only thing I see you losing control of

is your temper.

Well, and your friendship

and Mr. Miyagi's trust.

I've lost everything.

I don't know what to do.

I've wrecked everything with Mr. Miyagi.

I know he's written me off.

And I can't blame him. I don't blame him.

I don't know what the hell I'm going to do.

Nobody's written you off.

Just because I got upset

doesn't mean I'm not your friend anymore.

Mr. Miyagi, he loves you.

He has faith in you. He told me that.

Let's see how much faith he has

when he hears about what I did tonight.

- I think he should hear it from you first.

- It's too late. I blew it. It's blown.

You're gonna blow,

unless you do something about it now.

I know, you're right. It's easy to say.

It's just, I don't know if I could face him.

You'll do fine.

You just gotta do it.

Well, I don't know if I can.

I'm gonna miss you.

Send me a Christmas card, okay?

You got a deal.

- 'Bye.

- 'Bye.

Thanks.

Anytime.

I just told the other nurse

that I don't know his name.

I'm the guy who broke his nose.

I need to talk to him.

I need to tell him I'm sorry

and that I want to pay for it.

Please, let me speak with him.

No, I can't wait until tomorrow, all right.

I gotta talk to him now, damn it!

All right. I'm sorry, okay?

I don't mean to be rude, I'm...

Hello, miss?

Look at this.

Look at my sweatshirt.

I got some poor guy's blood all over me.

Everything you taught me,

I did the opposite.

I couldn't have been worse.

I did everything wrong.

I just feel like your tree.

You know, the one that I wrecked.

I feel just like that.

I feel like I'm falling apart.

Miyagi show you something.

I feel like the whole world

is coming down on me.

It's all my fault. I did it myself.

Everything can heal. Just take time.

Take patience.

I'm sorry. When I started out

I never meant for it to end the way it did.

Sometime when take trip,

better know where trip end.

Otherwise better just stay home.

It's budding.

Look at that, it's gonna make it.

Make it because have strong root.

Just like you, Daniel-san.

Inside you have strong root.

No need nothing

except what inside you to grow.

Understand?

I do understand.

You're right.

I gotta go. I'll be right back.

I'll just be a little while.

Where going?

You remember that guy, Terry Silver?

He's the one that's been training me.

He meant well,

but I want to tell him it's over.

- It not wait for tomorrow?

- I'll feel better if I get it over with now.

You like Miyagi come help you?

No, I did it myself.

I'll get out of it myself, all right?

I'll be back in a little while.

Hello.

Mr. Silver?

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Silver?

Hey.

- Hi.

- Here you are.

- Where'd you go?

- I had to go think about some things.

- And...

- And?

And I've...

Listen, I've decided not to defend my title.

I really appreciate

everything you've done for me.

I mean, you've been great. I just...

You know, when I hit that guy,

that's just not me.

I just wanted to come here

and tell you in person...

...'cause I figured after everything,

I owed you at least that.

You owe me a lot more than that,

Danny-boy.

I'm sorry.

I thought the lessons were free, but...

No. Nothing's for free.

You are going to defend.

You're getting in that ring.

Excuse me, Mr. Silver...

...you can't make me do something

I don't want to do.

Danny.

Since you met me, I've made you do things

you didn't want to do.

What are you talking about?

- What am I talking about?

- Yeah, what?

Let's show him what I'm talking about.

I'm what he's talking about, shithead.

- We have a simple agenda here.

- You're crazy.

Either you fight one fight

or fight for the rest of your life.

- You're sick!

- What's it gonna be?

I'm not gonna be there.

So just forget about it, all right?

Let's show Mr. Kreese

how he's going to get his business back.

- I won't fight.

- You don't have to.

You can just stand there

and let him kick your ass.

- Do the crane, Danny-boy!

- You're doing this to yourself, man.

Yes!

- You wanna see some more?

- I wanna see a lot more.

Bring him back.

You see his face?

See the trail? I think he peed in his pants!

Well, look who's here. The big war hero.

What are you waiting for?

Party time.

We're old friends.

Come on, little man.

Let's see how good you really are.

You think this is the end of it, old man?

I'm going to open Cobra Kai dojos

all over this valley.

Hell, I might even teach for free.

From now on when people say

karate around here...

...all they'll mean is Cobra Kai karate.

John Kreese's karate.

You won't even be a memory.

Yes, he will. You won't.

Now will you train me?

Now Miyagi train you.

Come. Waste time here.

We plant tree here.

- You take tree.

- All set.

- Careful.

- I got it.

Happy to be home, old fella? Yeah, I bet.

Let's get this crummy plastic bag off you.

Put you back where you belong.

There you go.

Nice comfortable spot.

- That feel good?

- Good spot, Daniel-san.

I got just what you need.

A nice cool drink.

Let some of your old roots soak that up.

Daniel-san, this bonsai have strong root.

Same you.

This tree now choose how it grow.

So must you choose how you grow.

Miyagi have great faith in you.

Understand?

Come on, Daniel-san.

See you around, old fella.

Point Barnes!

The score is 2-0.

- Let's do it up, do it right!

- Ready? Begin!

- Did you teach him that?

- No, that one is his.

A warning for a kick to the groin.

Once more, costs you a point.

Fighting positions. Ready? Begin!

Three points for Barnes.

- Danny-boy's gonna get murdered up there.

- Winner!

Face me. Bow.

Shake hands.

You're next, LaRusso. I own your ass.

While we wait for the challenger

to catch his breath...

T-shirts! Get your Cobra Kai T-shirts!

... I'd like to thank a new patron of ours

for the purchase and donation...

... of the permanent home

of the All Valley Championships.

Ladies and gentlemen, the president

of Dyna-tox Industries, Mr. Terry Silver.

Yeah, Mr. Silver!

Thank you, John.

Thank you very much.

I've always lived my life by the rule:

"If you get, you give."

For the last 20 years,
