Short filmTranscript
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,
00:42you'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.
01:24Two o'clock.
01:25Five total, but there are seven hostiles around you. Intel was wrong. Fall back.
01:31If I leave now, the rest won't survive either.
01:34The floor has almost no cover. Seven 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? Then keep your eyes on it.
01:57Area secured. Come up to rescue the hospital.
02:01Damn good work, Elise. You just turned a dead end into a total win, all by yourself.
02:06That's why you're Shadow. Best 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. With 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 gonna walk the way he used to.
02:40Cora's still so young. They need me home.
02:43I wanna be there for them, and someone's gotta 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, alright.
02:56Elise!
02:57I...
03:08I...
03:11Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
03:16Frank!
03:23Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
03:28Finally get to meet your idol, huh? You nervous?
03:33Phantom Squad's best solo operator.
03:35She's everybody's hero, not just mine.
03:39And...
03:40And I'm not leaving without that signature.
03:43For her actions in overseas counter-terip operations,
03:46and her decisive role in neutralizing the June 25th hostage crisis,
03:50Shadow is hereby awarded the Phantom Squad's highest commendation.
03:56Shadow, please forward and receive your citation.
04:15One year ago today, Phantom Squad's legendary operator Shadow declined all honors and vanished.
04:20Sources close to the unit believe her disappearance is connected to the death of her partner.
04:25I owe you, Frank.
04:30I've got them.
04:33Rest easy.
04:45Floor's a mess.
04:47You blind?
04:50That'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?
05:36We 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? Tell 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.
06:28Cora, go play for a bit.
06:32That'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.
06:57Ms. Harlow had sent me for an answer.
06:59Are 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, my answer is still no.
07:34Valor is not for sale.
07:39Sign it now, or don't.
07:41But when Ms. Harlow handles this herself,
07:44you 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. Now!
07:57Gave everything for his country.
08:03That just means he was stupid enough to let it happen.
08:07Don't!
08:31That move she just made...
08:33...
08:39that's tactical movement touch what isn't yours
08:49you crazy beach keep your mouth shut before i make you

09:39shadow's a woman ten of me wouldn't be enough shadow's in a completely different league
09:45you're gonna compare a janitor to her
09:49hey janitor you even know who shadow is ring any bells enough we've got a situation meridian
09:55isn't going to let this go they'll come back with something worse
09:59my guess she sends people to make trouble

12:21don't be so dramatic mr albright she's home she's fed and she's in one piece
12:25consider it a show of good faith we all know what you want gina you want to take this place
12:29and we
12:29said no so you put a kid in the middle of it you're sick we tried the velvet glove this
12:33morning you spit
12:34on it now you get the fist you should be begging us for a buyout before we pave over this
12:37dump brett
12:42you're all so sensitive i haven't even shown you the gift yet
12:48what do you actually want word is valor runs the best mma marksman and tactical programs in the area
12:56ms harlow brought people we want a public match your instructors against ours one-on-one
13:03across all three disciplines that's it just a friendly competition yes it's just a competition
13:08but when valor's finest get dismantled in their own backyard on camera tell me who's going to trust you
13:15with their training ever again i know exactly what your instructors are worth gina you think
13:19we're scared of meridian only one way to find out are you kidding me since when are they meridian coaches
13:33you people go digging in the gutter for this weren't they all brought into the phantom squad reserves last
13:38year phantom squad reservals working for meridian the plot thickens that's soul three-time back-to-back
13:48state mma champion brett lost to him one and ron's tactics are dirty as they come got in your head
13:53before didn't he you know never again that woman is luna she 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 you came here to start something take your people and get off valor's
14:16property oh yeah and if we did you should have taken miss harlow's offer when you had the chance
14:22too late to back out now come on in everyone miss harlow's got a story for you today i came
14:27here to
14:28keep your father's legacy alive make this place actually matter but looking at it now it's already
14:32dying mr albright is it true valor refusing the challenge because your instructors can't handle
14:38it frank albright died in the line of duty and you turn it into a marketing opportunity
14:43that's a lie those three aren't why won't valor accept the challenge mr albright was your father's
14:48sacrifice stage for publicity can you answer that that's impressive as harlow bringing in three phantom
14:52squad reservatives buying off the press and smearing my father's legacy all for a piece of valor you
14:56really did go all out save the speech you're a loser derek confess to the cameras now or wait until
15:01we
15:01embarrass you so badly you'll never show your face again choose your poison they're gonna kill
15:06each other mr albright say the word i've been here since day one i go up there and i finish
15:12it
