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.
00:26Valor'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?
00:35That 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.
01:12You're not afraid to be cancer, but you don't care.
01:13I don't care, but that was my mother.
01:14You don't care.
01:14That was when you get to the jump.
01:14That was not a bad thing.
01:14You don't care.
01:14You're not.
01:14Just need to be a good thing.
01:15They are not prepared.
01:28...I'm gonna stop.
01:29I'm gonna stop watching you.
01:31If I leave now, the rest won't survive either.
01:35The 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!
01:46Drop 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.
02:10But next time, don't go cowboy on me.
02:13Here 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.
02:26You've earned it.
02:27Though, 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.
02:57Elise!
02:57I-
02:57I-
03:12Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
03:16I-
03:17I-
03:24Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
03:28Finally get to meet your idol, huh? You nervous?
03:33Phantom Squad's best solo operator. She's everybody's hero, not just mine.
03:39And, and I'm not leaving without that signature.
03:43For her actions in overseas counter-terror operations, and her decisive role in neutralizing the June 25th hostage crisis, Shadow
03:50is hereby awarded the Phantom Squad's highest commandation.
03:56Shadow, please forward and receive your citation.
04:20Shadow, please forward and receive your citation.
04:23To the death of her partner.
04:26I owe you Frank.
04:30I've got them.
04:33Rest easy.
04:45The floor'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?
05:35Mr. 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.
05:48I'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.
06:19Meridian Group?
06:20We'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.
06:37The 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. Harlod sent me for an answer.
06:59Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
07:00I've been clear from the start.
07:02Valor 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.
07:55Now!
07:57Gave everything for his country.
08:03That just means he was stupid enough to let it happen.
08:06Don't!
08:32That move she just made.
08:33That 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, you okay?
09:24I'm fine.
09:25She helped.
09:26Her?
09:27We have three instructors at this center.
09:29When did a janitor 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.
09:41Ten of me wouldn't be enough.
09:43Shadow's in a completely different league.
09:45You're gonna compare a janitor to her?
09:49Hey, janitor.
09:50You even know who Shadow is? Ring 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?
10:11Did any of you see her on your way in?
10:12No.
10:14No.
10:14Go find her.
10:15Now!
10:18Mr. 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.
10:56And 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?
11:09Where'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!
11:43Dereka as well.
11:44Ms. Harlow decided you are worth a personal visit.
11:47Try to look great.
12:04Where's Korra?
12:08are you okay did anyone hurt you that lady really wanted me to eat her cake
12:13i didn't want her cake you're okay go rest i'll come see you tonight stay with her
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

13:33you people go digging in the gutter for this weren't they all brought into the phantom squad
13:38reserves last year phantom squad reservals working for meridian the plot thickens that's soul

13:52they come got in your head before didn't he you know never again that woman is luna she and i
13:57tied
13:58at the regional marksman competition so 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

14:22chance too late to back out now come on in everyone miss harlow's got a story for you today i
14:27came here
14:28to keep your father's legacy alive make this place actually matter but looking at it now it's already
14:33dying 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
14:53squad reservatives buying off the press and smearing my father's legacy all for a piece of valor you

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