00:01Don't bet your life on luck.
00:02With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
00:04Elise!
00:08I've got them. Rest easy.
00:11Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
00:13Valor is not for sale.
00:14My father built this place with what was left.
00:17Don't!
00:19Miss Harlow brought people.
00:21We want a public match.
00:23Your instructors against ours.
00:25Valor's done. Shut it down!
00:27Who said Valor's out of people?
00:30How is that possible? Who is this woman?
00:32The way she moves, doesn't she remind you of Shadow?
00:34That was just one round. The game is far from over.
00:38Next up, shooting competition.
00:39I'm not trying to be cruel, but all of you combined, you're still not beating me.
00:43And if Valor wins, what's on the table?
00:46I walk away from this place and never come back.
00:48Elise, please.
00:49I don't bet my life on luck.
00:53That's impossible.
00:55Who the hell are you? Valor's janitor.
01:00I don't know that's probably about five thousand dollars on the table.
01:03I don't know.
01:03Let's go.
01:05The world gets it.
01:07I don't know.
01:08The world gets the rest.
01:14You're a madman.
01:15Plus, that is just gonna happen.
01:16You're a madman.
01:18Stop.
01:21You've got to look.
01:21You're a madman.
01:21You're madman.
01:21Let's go!
01:24You've got to look at that.
01:24You're a madman.
01:28You're madman.
01:31If I leave now, the rest won't survive either.
01:34The floor has almost no cover.
01:36Seven of them can surround you in under a minute.
01:38Enough from me.
01:44Please, please don't kill me!
01:45Drop your weapon or she dies!
01:47You like guns?
01:48Then keep your eyes on it.
01:57Area secured.
01:58Come up to rescue the hospital.
02:01Damn good work, Elise.
02:02You just turned a dead end into a total win.
02:05All by yourself.
02:06That's why you're Shadow.
02:07Best field operator in Phantom Squad.
02:09But next time, don't go cowboy on me.
02:12Here we go again.
02:14Don't bet your life on luck.
02:15You say that every single time.
02:17Relax.
02:18With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
02:21Keep that focus.
02:22We wrap this up, and that Phantom Squad citation is yours.
02:25You've earned it.
02:26Though, I think I'm done after this.
02:29Where's this coming from?
02:33The accident last year took my wife.
02:37Derek's never going to walk the way he used to.
02:40Cora's still so young.
02:41They need me home.
02:43I want to be there for them, and someone's got to run the center.
02:48They're lucky to have you.
02:49Come by the center when you're on leave.
02:51The kids have been asking about the legendary Shadow for months.
02:55Yeah, all right.
02:56Elise!
03:12Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
03:15Frank!
03:23Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
03:28Finally get to meet your idol, huh?
03:30You nervous?
03:33Phantom Squad's best solo operator.
03:35She's everybody's hero, not just mine.
03:39And I'm not leaving without that signature.
03:43For her actions in overseas counter-terror operations
03:46and her decisive role in neutralizing the June 25th hostage crisis,
03:50Shadow is hereby awarded the Phantom Squad's highest commendation.
03:55Shadow, please forward and receive your citation.
04:15One year ago today, Phantom Squad's legendary operator Shadow
04:18declined all honors and vanished.
04:20Sources close to the unit believe her disappearance
04:22is connected to the death of her partner.
04:26I owe you, Frank.
04:30I've got them.
04:33Rest easy.
04:45Floor's a mess.
04:47You blind?
04:51That's the janitor.
04:52I've seen her staring at Mr. Alston more than once.
04:59You hiding a photo of Mr. Albright?
05:01You're the janitor.
05:02What exactly do you think you're doing mooning over him?
05:15You think you can just dodge me?
05:17Coach Foster, you have a training session.
05:19Stay out of it!
05:21What's going on here?
05:33What's going on here?
05:35Mr. Albright, we didn't expect you back until Friday.
05:38Schedule changed.
05:39We're early.
05:40Shouldn't you all be in training right now?
05:42On our way now.
05:47I've got this.
05:49Back to work.
06:00Which one of you is Derek?
06:02Tell him to get out here.
06:10I'm here on behalf of Meridian Group on the acquisition.
06:13Get Derek out here.
06:18Meridian Group?
06:19We're doing fine.
06:20Why would they want to acquire us?
06:22Meridian Group doesn't acquire.
06:23They colonize.
06:24If they move on you, you're done.
06:26I'm Derek.
06:27Whatever this is, take it to my office.
06:29Cora, go play for a bit.
06:32It's Meridian Group's deal.
06:34They're bad news.
06:35There was another training center, Thunderstroke, that turned them down.
06:38The owner died in a car accident a week later, and nobody looked into it.
06:41It hit the news for about a day, then just disappeared.
06:45Comments were shut down.
06:46Mr. Albright's in real trouble here.
06:48Elise, stop.
06:49These aren't people you can mess with.
06:52Elise!
06:56Derek, Miss Harlod sent me for an answer.
06:58Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
07:00I've been clear from the start.
07:01Valor stays with me.
07:15The office doesn't need cleaning today.
07:17Get out.
07:18I'm just doing my job, sir.
07:22Even your janitor has an attitude problem.
07:25Let me show you how Ms. Harley handles insubordinations.
07:29Consider it a courtesy.
07:31Back off.
07:32My answer is still no.
07:33Valor is not for sale.
07:39Sign it now, or don't.
07:41But when Ms. Harlow handles this herself, you won't be able to protect anyone.
07:46My father bled for this country.
07:48He built this place with what was left.
07:51I'm not letting you turn Valor into a front for your dirty laundry.
07:54Get out of my office.
07:55Now.
07:57Now.
08:03That just means he was stupid enough to let it happen.
08:07Don't!
08:31That move she just made.
08:39That's tactical movement.
08:41Touch.
08:43What isn't yours.
08:49You crazy beach!
08:51Keep your mouth shut before I make you!
08:56This is Valor's house.
08:58Are you leaving on your own, or do I have to make you?
09:06Fine.
09:07When Ms. Harlow gets here, don't come crying to me when this place shuts down!
09:16That was thank you.
09:17But don't do that again.
09:18It's not worth the risk.
09:21Derek.
09:22You okay?
09:24I'm fine.
09:25She helped.
09:26Her?
09:27We have three instructors at this center.
09:29When did a janiniter become the one handling things?
09:32Look at her.
09:34You really think someone like that could handle herself?
09:36Brett would put her down in one hit.
09:38Don't underestimate women.
09:40Shadow's a woman.
09:40Ten of me wouldn't be enough.
09:43Shadow's in a completely different league.
09:45You're gonna compare a janitor to her?
09:48Hey, janitor.
09:50You even know who Shadow is?
09:51Ring any bells?
09:52Enough!
09:53We've got a situation.
09:55Meridian isn't going to let this go.
09:56They'll come back with something worse.
09:59My guess?
10:00She sends people to make trouble.
10:02Let them come.
10:03They show up, we put them down.
10:05Don't make it simple.
10:06Meridian Group is like a snake.
10:08They don't come straighty at you.
10:10Where's Korra?
10:10Did any of you see her on your way in?
10:12No.
10:14No.
10:14Go find her.
10:15Now!
10:17Mr. Albright?
10:19This is Gina Harlow from Meridian Group.
10:22Since your staff was so...
10:24physical with my associate,
10:26I thought I'd invite your sister over for a visit instead.
10:37What did you do to Korra?
10:38Breathe, Derek.
10:40She's having the time of her life.
10:42Don't take my word for it.
10:43Check your messages.
10:49What's the rush?
10:50Let us finish our cake.
10:52I'm coming to get her right now.
10:54I'll drop her off myself.
10:55And Derek,
10:56I'm bringing a little something extra for you to sign.
11:02That beach is playing with us.
11:07Where's the janitor?
11:08Where'd she go?
11:13That was my fault.
11:17I should have been watching.
11:20But I promise I will bring her back.
11:24They're here!
11:25The Meridian Group!
11:26The whole convoy!
11:42Derek!
11:44Ms. Harlow decided you were worth a personal visit.
11:47Try to look great.
12:04Where's Korra?
12:08Are you okay?
12:09Did anyone hurt you?
12:11That lady really wanted me to eat her cake.
12:14I didn't want her cake.
12:16You're okay.
12:17Go rest.
12:17I'll come see you tonight.
12:19Stay with her.
12:21Don't be so dramatic, Mr. Albright.
12:23She's home, she's fed,
12:24and she's in one piece.
12:25Consider it a show of good faith.
12:27We all know what you want, Gina.
12:28You want to take this place,
12:29and we said no.
12:30So you put a kid in the middle of it?
12:31You're sick.
12:32We tried the velvet glove this morning.
12:33You spit on it.
12:34Now you get the fist.
12:35You should be begging us for a buyout
12:36before we pave over this dump.
12:38Brett!
12:41You're all so sensitive.
12:45You're all so sensitive.
13:08But when Valor's finest get dismantled in their own backyard, on camera,
13:13tell me, who's going to trust you with their training ever again?
13:16I know exactly what your instructors are worth, Gina.
13:19You think we're scared of Meridian?
13:21Only one way to find out.
13:28Are you kidding me?
13:30Since when are they Meridian coaches?
13:33You people go digging in the gutter for this?
13:36Weren't they all brought into the Phantom Squad Reserves last year?
13:39Phantom Squad Reservals?
13:42Working for Meridian?
13:43The plot thickens.
13:45That's Sol.
13:46Three-time back-to-back state MMA champion.
13:49Brett lost to him once.
13:50And Ron's tactics are dirty as they come.
13:52Got in your head before, didn't he?
13:54And you know him ever again.
13:55That woman is Luna.
13:57She and I tied at the regional marksman competition.
14:00So, Mr. Albright, still want to do this?
14:11You didn't come here to compete.
14:13You came here to start something.
14:15Take your people and get off Valor's property.
14:17Oh, yeah?
14:18And if we did...
14:19You should have taken Miss Harlow's offer
14:21when you had the chance.
14:23Too late to back out now.
14:24Come on in, everyone.
14:25Miss Harlow's got a story for you today.
14:27I came here to keep your father's legacy alive,
14:29make this place actually matter.
14:31But looking at it now, it's already dying.
14:33Mr. Albright, is it true Valor refusing the challenge
14:36because your instructors can't handle it?
14:38Frank Albright died in the line of duty
14:40and you turn it into a marketing opportunity?
14:43That's a lie!
14:44Those three aren't...
14:45Why won't Valor accept the challenge?
14:46Mr. Albright, was your father's sacrifice staged for publicity?
14:49Can you answer that?
14:50That's impressive, Harlow.
14:51Bringing in three Phantom Squad reservatives,
14:53buying off the press and smearing my father's legacy
14:55all for a piece of Valor?
14:56You really did go all out.
14:58Save the speech.
14:58You're a loser, Derek.
15:00Confess to the cameras now
15:01or wait until we embarrass you so badly
15:02you'll never show your face again.
15:03Choose your poison.
15:05They're gonna kill each other.
15:07Mr. Albright, say the word.
15:09I've been here since day one.
15:10I go up there and I finish it.
15:12They don't get to talk about this place like that.
15:14They're stronger than us, across the board.
15:16That's exactly what they're counting on.
15:18Don't play their game.
15:19Then we walk into it.
15:20Mr. Frank was everything to me.
15:22I'm not standing here
15:22while they drag his name through the dirt.
15:24I'm in!
15:25Count me in, too!
15:26They don't get to do this!
15:28I'm in!
15:29Count me in!
15:30Yeah!
15:30Let's do this!
15:31You watching this, Frank?
15:33Your people are something else.
15:36Tactically, we're outmatched,
15:37but I'm with Valor.
15:39Let's fight.
15:39You heard the Mr. Albright.
15:41Nobody's forcing your hand here.
15:43Valor accepts.
15:44Yeah!
15:56Wonderful!
15:57Courage suits you, Mr. Albright.
16:00Let's start with MAA.
16:08Sol is a power fighter.
16:10His weakness is speed.
16:12Your only shot is to go first and go hard.
16:13Don't give him a chance to reset.
16:15Got it.
16:18What are you doing here?
16:19You're just the janitor.
16:21Go find somewhere else to be.
16:28Brett, you lost to me once and you came back for more?
16:33Don't get too comfortable, Sol.
16:35Three years is a long time.
16:37I'm not that guy anymore.
16:38Take him apart, Coach Vega!
16:40Show them what the strongest gym in the state looks like!
16:43Come on, Brett.
16:48Brett's actually pushing him back!
16:50I didn't think he could hang with Sol like this!
16:52Maybe we've got this!
16:54Something's wrong.
16:55You think those idiots actually believe Brett's winning?
16:58Sol always does this.
17:00Makes you think you're in it, and then drops you.
17:02Sol, stop wasting time on this.
17:08Stop running!
17:09Come on, that's all you got?
17:09Now show's open.
17:38Come on!
17:40Come on!
17:40Come on!
17:40Get up!
17:53Brett!
18:03What the hell?
18:05We threw in the towel!
18:07Ref!
18:07Counts when the towel hits the ground.
18:18That's one for us, Mr. Albright.
18:22Boss, I'm sorry.
18:23I...
18:23Get yourself checked out first.
18:24I'll give you one more chance.
18:26Sign the acquisition papers now,
18:28and Valor walks away with his dignity intact.
18:30Winning or losing, it doesn't change a thing.
18:33Valor's position is fixed.
18:34Position?
18:35You're in a position to talk about that right now?
18:37This place could burn to the ground, and I still wouldn't hand it to you.
18:41Then we keep going until there's nobody left at Valor willing to step up.
18:44Fine.
18:45I'll go.
18:46Ray, stop.
18:47You want to go up there and get killed?
18:48Mr. Albright, we need to call it.
18:50We don't have a chance here.
18:51Hey, reporters, take a look.
18:52Am I wrong?
18:52Valor's nothing but in touch.
18:53You're about to set the cage.
18:55I'll go up.
18:56Put me in.
18:57I'll do it.
19:01You all watched your MMA coach get carried out of that cage,
19:03and you still want in just to go down fast?
19:05A man in a wheelchair, a gym full of nobodies, running on a dead man's name.
19:08You really call this a training center?
19:10That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
19:11You getting this?
19:12Valor's done.
19:13Shut it down.
19:14Who said Valor's out of people?
19:20Don't bet your life on luck.
19:22With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
19:24Elise!
19:28I've got them.
19:29Rest easy.
19:30Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
19:32Valor is not for sale.
19:34My father built this place with what was left.
19:36Don't!
19:39Miss Harlow brought people.
19:41We want a public match.
19:42Your instructors against ours.
19:45Valor's done.
19:46Shut it down.
19:47Who said Valor's out of people?
19:50How is that possible?
19:51Who is this woman?
19:52The way she moves, doesn't she remind you of Shadow?
19:54That was just one round.
19:55The game is far from over.
19:57Next up, shooting competition.
19:59I'm not trying to be cruel, but all of you combined, you're still not beating me.
20:03And if Valor wins, what's on the table?
20:05I walk away from this place and never come back.
20:08Elise, please.
20:08I don't bet my life on luck.
20:13That's impossible.
20:14Who the hell are you?
20:16Valor's janitor.
20:43Hostages at your two o'clock.
20:45Five total, but there are seven hostiles around you.
20:47Intel was wrong.
20:48Fall back.
20:51If I leave now, the rest won't survive either.
20:54The floor has almost no cover.
20:56Seven of them can surround you in under a minute.
20:57Enough for me.
21:03Please, please don't kill me!
21:05Drop your weapon or she dies!
21:06You like guns?
21:07Then keep your eyes on it.
21:16Area secured.
21:18Come up to rescue the hospital.
21:20Damn good work, Elise.
21:22You just turned a dead end into a total win.
21:24All by yourself.
21:25That's why you're Shadow.
21:27Best field operator in Phantom Squad.
21:29But next time, don't go cowboy on me.
21:32Here we go again.
21:33Don't bet your life on luck.
21:35You say that every single time.
21:37Relax.
21:38With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.

25:09Back to work.
25:20Which one of you is Derek?
25:22Tell him to get out here.
25:30I'm here on behalf of Meridian Group on the acquisition.
25:33Get Derek out here.
25:38Meridian Group?
25:39We're doing fine.
25:40Why would they want to acquire us?
25:41Meridian Group doesn't acquire.
25:43They colonize.
25:44If they move on you, you're done.
25:45I'm Derek.
25:46Whatever this is, take it to my office.
25:48Cora, go play for a bit.
25:52It's Meridian Group's deal.
25:53They're bad news.
25:54There was another training center, Thunderstroke, that turned them down.
25:57The owner died in a car accident a week later.
25:59And nobody looked into it.
26:00It hit the news for about a day, then just disappeared.
26:04Comments were shut down.
26:05Mr. Albright's in real trouble here.
26:08Elise, stop.
26:09These aren't people you can mess with.
26:11Elise!
26:15Derek.
26:16Miss Harlott sent me for an answer.
26:18Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
26:20I've been clear from the start.
26:21Valor stays with me.
26:35The office doesn't need cleaning today.
26:37Get out.
26:38I'm just doing my job, sir.
26:41Even your janitor has an attitude problem.
26:45Let me show you how Ms. Harley handles insubordinations.
26:48Consider it a courtesy.
26:51Back off.
26:52My answer is still no.
26:53Valor is not for sale.
26:58Sign it now or don't.
27:00But when Ms. Harlow handles this herself,
27:03you won't be able to protect anyone.
27:05My father bled for this country.
27:08He built this place with what was left.
27:10I'm not letting you turn Valor into a front for your dirty laundry.
27:14Get out of my office.
27:15Now.
27:16Now.
27:16Gave everything for his country.
27:22That just means he was stupid enough to let it happen.
27:27Don't!
27:51That move she just made.
27:58That's tactical movement.
28:00Touch.
28:02What isn't yours.
28:09You crazy beach!
28:11Keep your mouth shut before I make you!
28:15This is Valor's house.
28:17Are you leaving on your own or do I have to make you?
28:25Fine.
28:26When Ms. Harlow gets here, don't come crying to me when this place shuts down!
28:35That was thank you.
28:36But don't do that again.
28:38It's not worth the risk.
28:40Derek.
28:41You okay?
28:43I'm fine.
28:44She helped.
28:46Her?
28:46We have three instructors at this center.
28:48When did a Jananiter become the one handling things?
28:52Look at her.
28:53You really think someone like that could handle herself?
28:55Brett would put her down in one hit.
28:57Don't underestimate women.
28:59Shadow's a woman.
29:00Ten of me wouldn't be enough.
29:02Shadow's in a completely different league.
29:04You're gonna compare a Janitor to her?
29:08Hey, Janitor.
29:09You even know who Shadow is?
29:11Ring any bells?
29:12Enough.
29:13We've got a situation.
29:14Meridian isn't going to let this go.
29:16They'll come back with something worse.
29:19My guess?
29:20She sends people to make trouble.
29:21Let them come.
29:22They show up, we put them down.
29:24Don't make it simple.
29:26Meridian Group is like a snake.
29:28They don't come straighty at you.
29:29Where's Korra?
29:30Did any of you see her on your way in?
29:32No.
29:33No.
29:34Go find her.
29:34Now!
29:37Mr. Albright?
29:38This is Gina Harlow from Meridian Group.
29:42Since your staff was so physical with my associate,
29:45I thought I'd invite your sister over for a visit instead.
29:56What did you do to Korra?
29:58Breathe, Derek.
29:59She's having the time of her life.
30:01Don't take my word for it.
30:02Check your messages.
30:08What's the rush?
30:09Let us finish our cake.
30:12I'm coming to get her right now.
30:14I'll drop her off myself.
30:15And Derek, I'm bringing a little something extra for you to sign.
30:21That beach is playing with us.
30:27Where's the janitor?
30:28Where'd she go?
30:33That was my fault.
30:36I should have been watching.
30:39But I promise I will bring her back.
30:44They're here!
30:45The Meridian Group!
30:46The whole convoy!
31:02Derek!
31:03Ms. Harlow decided you were worth a personal visit.
31:06Try to look grateful.
31:23Where's Cora?
31:27Are you okay?
31:29Did anyone hurt you?
31:30That lady really wanted me to eat her cake.
31:33I didn't want her cake.
31:35You're okay.
31:36Go rest.
31:37I'll come see you tonight.
31:38Stay with her.
31:40Don't be so dramatic, Mr. Albright.
31:42She's home, she's fed, and she's in one piece.
31:45Consider it a show of good faith.
31:46We all know what you want, Gina.
31:47You want to take this place, and we said no.
31:49So you put a kid in the middle of it?
31:51You're sick.
31:51We tried the velvet glove this morning.
31:53You spit on it.
31:53Now you get the fist.
31:54You should be begging us for a buyout before we pave over this dump.
31:57Brett!
32:02You're all so sensitive.
32:04I haven't even shown you the gift yet.
32:07What do you actually want?
32:09Word is Valor runs the best MMA, marksman, and tactical programs in the area.
32:15Ms. Harlow brought people.
32:18We want a public match, your instructors against ours, one-on-one across all three disciplines.
32:24That's it?
32:25Just a friendly competition?
32:26Yes, it's just a competition.
32:28But when Valor's finest get dismantled in their own backyard, on camera, tell me, who's going to trust you with
32:34their training ever again?
32:36I know exactly what your instructors are worth, Gina.
32:38You think we're scared of Meridian?
32:40Only one way to find out.
32:48Are you kidding me?
32:50Since when are they Meridian coaches?
32:52You people go digging in the gutter for this?
32:55Weren't they all brought into the Phantom Squad Reserves last year?
32:59Phantom Squad Reservals?
33:01Working for Meridian?
33:03The plot thickens.
33:05That's Sol.
33:06Three-time back-to-back state MMA champion.
33:09Brett lost to him once.
33:10And Ron's tactics are dirty as they come.
33:12Got in your head before, didn't he?
33:14And you know him ever again.
33:15That woman is Luna.
33:16She and I tied at the regional marksman competition.
33:20So, Mr. Albright, still want to do this?
33:26Mr. Albright.
33:26Mr. Albright.
33:27Mr. Albright.
33:28Mr. Albright.
33:30Mr. Albright.
33:31You didn't come here to compete.
33:33You came here to start something.
33:34Take your people and get off Valor's property.
33:37Oh, yeah?
33:38And if we did,
33:39you should have taken Ms. Harlow's offer when you had the chance.
33:42Too late to back out now.
33:44Come on in, everyone.
33:45Ms. Harlow's got a story for you today.
33:47I came here to keep your father's legacy alive,
33:49make this place actually matter.
33:50But looking at it now, it's already dying.
33:53Mr. Albright.
33:54Is it true Valor refusing the challenge
33:56because your instructors can't handle it?
33:58Frank Albright died in the line of duty
33:59and you turn it into a marketing opportunity?
34:03That's a lie.
34:04Those three aren't even...
34:04Why won't Valor accept the challenge?
34:06Mr. Albright,
34:07was your father's sacrifice staged for publicity?
34:09Can you answer that?
34:09That's impressive, is Harlow.
34:11Bringing in three Phantom Squad reservatives,
34:13buying off the press,
34:14and smearing my father's legacy
34:15all for a piece of Valor?
34:16You really did go all out.
34:17Save the speech.
34:18You're a loser, Derek.
34:19Confess to the cameras now
34:20or wait until we embarrass you so badly
34:22you'll never show your face again.
34:23Choose your poison.
34:24They're going to kill each other.
34:27Mr. Albright, say the word.
34:28I've been here since day one.
34:30I go up there and I finish it.
34:32They don't get to talk about this place like that.
34:34They're stronger than us,
34:35across the board.
34:36That's exactly what they're counting on.
34:37Don't play their game.
34:39Then we walk into it.
34:40Mr. Frank was everything to me.
34:41I'm not standing here
34:42while they drag his name through the dirt.
34:43I'm in.
34:45Count me in, too.
34:46They don't get to do this.
34:48I'm in.
34:48Count me in.
34:49Yeah.
34:50Let's do this.
34:51You watching this, Frank?
34:52Your people are something else.
34:55Tactically, we're outmatched,
34:57but I'm with Valor.
34:58Let's fight.
34:59You heard them, Mr. Albright.
35:01Nobody's forcing your hand here.
35:02Valor accepts.
35:04Yeah!
35:16Wonderful.
35:17Courage suits you, Mr. Albright.
35:19Let's start with MAA.
35:28Sol is a power fighter.
35:30His weakness is speed.
35:31Your only shot is to go first and go hard.
35:33Don't give him a chance to reset.
35:35Got it.
35:37What are you doing here?
35:39You're just the janitor.
35:40Go find somewhere else to be.
35:48Brett, you lost to me once
35:50and you came back for more?
35:53Don't get too comfortable, Sol.
35:54Three years is a long time.
35:56I'm not that guy anymore.
35:58Take him apart, Coach Vega.
35:59Show them what the strongest gym in the state looks like.
36:03Come on, Brett.
36:08Brett's actually pushing him back.
36:09I didn't think he could hang with Sol like this.
36:12Maybe we've got this.
36:14Something's wrong.
36:15You think those idiots actually believe Brett's winning?
36:18Sol always does this.
36:19Makes you think you're in it,
36:21and then drops you.
36:22Sol, stop wasting time on this.
36:27Stop running.
36:28Come on, that's all you got?
36:29Now show's over.
36:53Come on, come on.
36:58Come on.
37:00Get up!
37:13Brett!
37:23What the hell?
37:25We threw in the towel.
37:26Ref!
37:27Counts when the towel hits the ground.
37:38That's one for us, Mr. Albright.
37:41Boss, I'm sorry.
37:42Get yourself checked out first.
37:44I'll give you one more chance.
37:46Sign the acquisition papers now,
37:47and Valor walks away with its dignity intact.
37:50Winning or losing, it doesn't change a thing.
37:53Valor's position is fixed.
37:54Position?
37:55You're in a position to talk about that right now?
37:56This place could burn to the ground,
37:58and I still wouldn't hand it to you.
38:00Then we keep going until there's nobody left at Valor
38:03willing to step up.
38:04Fine.
38:05I'll go.
38:05Ray, stop.
38:06You want to go up there and get killed?
38:08Mr. Albright, we need to call it.
38:09We don't have a chance here.
38:10Hey, reporters, take a look.
38:11Am I wrong?
38:12Valor's nothing but in touch.
38:13You're about to step the cage.
38:14I'll go up.
38:15Put me in.
38:16I'll do it.
38:20You all watched your MMA coach get carried out of that cage,
38:23and you still want in just to go down faster?
38:25A man in a wheelchair, a gym full of nobodies,
38:27running on a dead man's name.
38:28You really call this a training center?
38:29That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
38:30You getting this?
38:31Valor's done.
38:32Shut it down.
38:33Who said Valor's out of people?
38:40Don't bet your life on luck.
38:41With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
38:43Elise!
38:47I've got them.
38:49Rest easy.
38:50Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
38:52Valor is not for sale.
38:53My father built this place with what was left.
38:56Don't!
38:58Miss Harlow brought people.
39:00We want a public match.
39:02Your instructors against ours.
39:05Valor's done.
39:05Shut it down.
39:06Who said Valor's out of people?
39:09How is that possible?
39:10Who is this woman?
39:11The way she moves, doesn't she remind you of Shadow?
39:14That was just one round.
39:15The game is far from over.
39:17Next up, shooting competition.
39:18I'm not trying to be cruel,
39:20but all of you combined,
39:21you're still not beating me.
39:22And if Valor wins, what's on the table?
39:25I walk away from this place and never come back.
39:27Elise, please.
39:28I don't bet my life on luck.
39:32That's impossible.
39:33Who the hell are you?
39:35Valor's janitor.
40:03Hostages at your two o'clock.
40:04Five total, but there are seven hostiles around you.
40:07Intel was wrong, fall back.
40:10If I leave now, the rest won't survive either.
40:14The floor has almost no cover.
40:15Seven of them can surround you in under a minute.
40:17Enough for me.
40:23Please, please don't kill me!
40:25Drop your weapon or she dies!
40:26You like guns?
40:27Then keep your eyes on it.
40:36Area secured. Come up to rescue the hospital.
40:40Damn good work, Elyse.
40:41You just turned a dead end into a total win, all by yourself.
40:45That's why you're Shadow.
40:46Best field operator in Phantom Squad.
40:49But next time, don't go cowboy on me.
40:51Here we go again.
40:53Don't bet your life on luck.
40:54You say that every single time.
40:56Relax. With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
40:59Keep that focus. We wrap this up and that Phantom Squad citation is yours.
41:05You've earned it.
41:06Though, I think I'm done after this.
41:08Where's this coming from?
41:12The accident last year took my wife.
41:16Derek's never gonna walk the way he used to.
41:19Cora's still so young.
41:20They need me home.
41:22I want to be there for them.
41:24And someone's got to run the center.
41:27They're lucky to have you.
41:28Come by the center when you're on leave.
41:30The kids have been asking about the legendary shadow for months.
41:34Yeah, all right.
41:36Elyse!
41:36I-
41:50Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
41:55Frank!
42:02Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
42:07Finally get to meet your idol, huh?
42:09You nervous?
42:12Phantom Squad's best solo operator.
42:14She's everybody's hero, not just mine.
42:18And I'm not leaving without that signature.
42:22For her actions in overseas counter-terror operations,
42:25and her decisive role in neutralizing the June 25th hostage crisis,
42:29Shadow is hereby awarded the Phantom Squad's highest commandation.
42:35Shadow, please forward and receive your citation.
42:54One year ago today, Phantom Squad's legendary operator, Shadow, declined all honors and vanished.
42:59Sources close to the unit believe her disappearance is connected to the death of her partner.
43:05I owe you, Frank.
43:09I've got them.
43:12Rest easy.
43:24Floor's a mess.
43:26You blind?
43:30That's the janitor.
43:31I've seen her staring at Mr. Alston more than once.
43:38You hiding a photo of Mr. Albright?
43:40You're the janitor.
43:41What exactly do you think you're doing mooning over him?
43:54You think you can just dodge me?
43:56Coach Foster, you have a training session.
43:58Stay out of it!
44:00What's going on here?
44:14Mr. Albright, we didn't expect you back until Friday.
44:17The schedule changed. We're early. Shouldn't you all be in training right now?
44:21On our way now.
44:27I've got this.
44:28Back to work.
44:39Which one of you is Derek? Tell him to get out here.
44:49I'm here on behalf of Meridian Group on the acquisition.
44:52Get Derek out here.
44:58Meridian Group? We're doing fine. Why would they want to acquire us?
45:01Meridian Group doesn't acquire. They colonize. If they move on you, you're done.
45:05I'm Derek. Whatever this is, take it to my office.
45:08Korra, go play for a bit.
45:11That's Meridian Group's deal. They're bad news.
45:14There was another training center, Thunderstroke, that turned them down.
45:17The owner died in a car accident a week later, and nobody looked into it.
45:20It hit the news for about a day, then just disappeared. Comments were shut down.
45:25Mr. Albright's in real trouble here.
45:27Elise, stop. These aren't people you can mess with.
45:31Elise!
45:35Derek. Ms. Harlow had sent me for an answer. Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
45:39I've been clear from the start. Valor stays with me.
45:54The office doesn't need cleaning today. Get out.
45:57I'm just doing my job, sir.
46:01Even your janitor has an attitude problem.
46:04Let me show you how Ms. Harlow handles insubordinations. Consider it a courtesy.
46:10Back off. My answer is still no. Valor is not for sale.
46:18Sign it now, or don't. But when Ms. Harlow handles this herself, you won't be able to protect anyone.
46:25My father bled for this country. He built this place with what was left.
46:30I'm not letting you turn Valor into a front for your dirty laundry. Get out of my office. Now.
46:36Gave everything for his country.
46:42That just means he was stupid enough to let it happen.
46:47Don't!
47:10That move she just made.
47:18That's tactical movement.
47:20Touch.
47:22What isn't yours.
47:28You crazy beach.
47:30Keep your mouth shut before I make you.
47:35This is Valor's house.
47:37Are you leaving on your own, or do I have to make you?
47:45Fine. When Ms. Harlow gets here, don't come crying to me when this place shuts down.
47:55That was thank you. But don't do that again. It's not worth the risk.
48:00Derek. You okay?
48:02I'm fine. She helped.
48:05Her? We have three instructors at this center. When did a Jananiter become the one handling things?
48:11Look at her. You really think someone like that could handle herself? Brett would put her down in one hit.

48:38My guess? She sends people to make trouble. Let them come. They show up, we put them down.
48:44Don't make it simple. Meridian Group is like a snake. They don't come straighty at you.
48:49Where's Cora? Did any of you see her on your way in?
48:51No. No.
48:53Go find her. Now!
48:56Mr. Albright? This is Gina Harlow from Meridian Group. Since your staff was so physical with my
49:04associate, I thought I'd invite your sister over for a visit instead.
49:16What did you do to Cora?

50:03They're here! The Meridian Group! A whole convoy!
50:21Derek! Ms. Harlow decided you were worth a personal visit. Try to look great.
50:43Where's Cora?
50:47Are you okay? Did anyone hurt you?
50:50That lady really wanted me to eat her cake. I didn't want her cake.
50:55You're okay. Go rest. I'll come see you tonight. Stay with her.
51:00Don't be so dramatic, Mr. Albright. She's home, she's fed, and she's in one piece.
51:04Consider it a show of good faith.
51:06We all know what you want, Gina. You want to take this place, and we said no.
51:09So you put a kid in the middle of it? You're sick.
51:11We tried the velvet glove this morning. You spit on it. Now you get the fist.
51:14You should be begging us for a buyout before we pave over this dump. Brett!
51:21You're all so sensitive. I haven't even shown you the gift yet.
51:27What do you actually want?
51:29Word is Valor runs the best MMA, marksman, and tactical programs in the area.
51:35Ms. Harlow brought people. We want a public match. Your instructors against ours.
51:41One-on-one across all three disciplines.
51:44That's it? Just a friendly competition?
51:45Yes, it's just a competition.
51:47But when Valor's finest get dismantled in their own backyard, on camera, tell me,
51:53who's going to trust you with their training ever again?
51:55I know exactly what your instructors are worth, Gina.
51:58You think we're scared of Meridian?
52:00Only one way to find out.
52:07Are you kidding me?
52:09Since when are they Meridian coaches?
52:12You people go digging in the gutter for this?
52:15Weren't they all brought into the Phantom Squad Reserves last year?
52:19Phantom Squad Reservals? Working for Meridian?
52:22The plot thickens.
52:24That's Soul. Three-time back-to-back state MMA champion. Brett lost to him one.
52:29And Ron's tactics are dirty as they come. Got in your head before, didn't he? And you know him ever
52:34again.
52:34That woman is Luna. She and I tied at the regional marksman competition.
52:39So, Mr. Albright, still want to do this?
52:50You didn't come here to compete. You came here to start something. Take your people and get off Valor's property.
52:56Oh, yeah? And if we did, you should have taken Ms. Harlow's offer when you had the chance.
53:02Too late to back out now. Come on in, everyone. Ms. Harlow's got a story for you today.
53:06I came here to keep your father's legacy alive, make this place actually matter. But looking at it now, it's
53:11already dying.
53:12Mr. Albright, is it true Valor refusing the challenge because your instructors can't handle it?
53:17Frank Albright died in the line of duty and you turn it into a marketing opportunity?
53:22That's a lie! Those three aren't even...
53:24Why won't Valor accept the challenge? Mr. Albright, was your father's sacrifice staged for publicity? Can you answer that?
53:29That's impressive, Harlow. Bringing in three Phantom Squad Reservatives, buying off the press and smearing my father's legacy all for
53:35a piece of Valor.
53:35You really did go all out.
53:37Save the speech. You're a loser, Derek. Confess to the cameras now or wait until we embarrass you so badly,
53:41you'll never show your face again. Choose your poison.
53:44They're gonna kill each other.
53:46Mr. Albright, say the word. I've been here since day one. I go up there and I finish it. They
53:52don't get to talk about this place like that.
53:54They're stronger than us across the board. That's exactly what they're counting on. Don't play their game.
53:58Then we walk into it. Mr. Frank was everything to me. I'm not standing here while they drag his name
54:02through the dirt. I'm in.
54:04Count me in, too. They don't get to do this. I'm in. Count me in. Yeah. Let's do this.
54:10You watching this, Frank? Your people are something else.
54:14Tactically, we're outmatched, but I'm with Valor. Let's fight.
54:19You heard them, Mr. Albright. Nobody's forcing your hand here.
54:22Valor accepts.
54:23Yeah!
54:25Yeah!
54:36Wonderful. Courage suits you, Mr. Albright. Let's start with MAA.
54:47Soul is a power fighter. His weakness is speed. Your only shot is to go first and go hard.
54:53Don't give him a chance to reset. Got it.
54:57What are you doing here? You're just the janitor. Go find somewhere else to be.
55:07Brett, you lost to me once and you came back for more?
55:12Don't get too comfortable, Saul. Three years is a long time. I'm not that guy anymore.
55:17Take him apart, Coach Vega. Show them what the strongest gym in the state looks like.
55:22Come on, Brett.
55:27Brett's actually pushing him back. I didn't think he could hang with soul like this.
55:31Maybe we've got this. Something's wrong.
55:34You think those idiots actually believe Brett's winning?
55:37Saul always does this. Makes you think you're in it and then drops you.
55:41Saul, stop wasting time on this.
55:47Stop running. Come on. That's all you got?
55:49Now show's over.
56:17Come on. Come on.
56:20Come on. Get up.
56:32Brett!
56:42What the hell? We threw in the towel. Ref!
56:46Counts when the towel hits the ground.
56:58That's one for us, Mr. Albright.
57:01Boss, I'm sorry. I...
57:02Get yourself checked out first.
57:03I'll give you one more chance.
57:05Sign the acquisition papers now and Valor walks away with dignity intact.
57:09Winning or losing, it doesn't change a thing. Valor's position is fixed.
57:14Position? You're in a position to talk about that right now?
57:16This place could burn to the ground and I still wouldn't hand it to you.
57:20Then we keep going until there's nobody left at Valor willing to step up.
57:24Fine. I'll go.
57:25Ray, stop. You want to go up there and get killed?
57:28Mr. Albright, we need to call it. We don't have a chance here.
57:30Hey reporters, take a look. Am I wrong? Valor's nothing but indenture about to step the cage.
57:34I'll go up. Put me in.
57:36I'll do it.
57:40You all watched your MMA coach get carried out of that cage and you still want in just to go
57:43down fast?
57:44A man in a wheelchair, a gym full of nobodies running on a dead man's name.
57:48You really call this a training center? That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
57:50You getting this? Valor's done. Shut it down.
57:52Who said Valor's out of people?
