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, 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.
01:13I'm not sure how old that is.
01:14I'm not sure how old that is.
01:14Can I possibly buy anything?
01:15I'm not sure how old that is.
01:20I don't know who the wrong people are.
01:20I can't be a bad guy.
01:21We're dry, but what's on the table?
01:21I'm not sure how old that is.
01:24I can go to this place.
01:25But my son is still here...
01:27Intel was wrong. Fall back.
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? Then keep your eyes on it.
01:57Area secured. Come 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. 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.
02:41They need me home.
02:43I wanna be there for them,
02:45and 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!
03:00I...
03:11Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
03:16Frank!
03:23Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
03:28You finally 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-terrip 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 declined all honors and vanished.
04:20Sources close to the unit believe her disappearance is 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?
05:23What'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.
06:56Miss 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.
07:34Valor 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.
08:07Don't!
08:08Don't!
08:31That move she just made.
08:38That's tactical movement.
08:41Touch.
08:42What isn't yours.
08:49You crazy beach!
08:51Keep your mouth shut before I make you!
08:55This 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?
09:23I'm fine.
09:24She helped.
09:26Her?
09:27We have three instructors at this center.
09:29When did a Jananiter become the one handling things?
09:32Look at her.
09:33You 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?
09:49Hey, 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!
10:18Mr. Albright?
10:19This is Gina Harlow from Meridian Group.
10:21Since your staff was so physical 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, I'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!
11:31The Meridian Group!
11:33The Meridian Group!
11:42Derek!
11:44The Meridian Group!
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, and 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, and 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 before we pave over this dump.
12:38Brett!
12:42You're all so sensitive.
12:45I haven't even shown you the gift yet.
12:48What do you actually want?
12:50Word is Valor runs the best MMA, marksman, and tactical programs in the area.
12:56Ms. Harlow brought people.
12:58We want a public match.
13:00Your instructors against ours.
13:02One-on-one across all three disciplines.
13:04That's it?
13:05Just a friendly competition?
13:06Yes, it's just a competition.
13:08But when Valor's finest get dismantled in their own backyard, on camera, tell me, who's
13:14going 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.
13:45The plot thickens.
13:45That's Sol.
13:46Three-time back-to-back state MMA champion.
13:49Brett lost to him one.
13:50And Ron's tactics are dirty as they come.
13:53Got 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, you should have taken Ms. Harlow's offer when you had the chance.
14:23Too late to back out now.
14:24Come on in, everyone.
14:25Ms. Harlow's got a story for you today.
14:27I came here to keep your father's legacy alive, make this place actually matter.
14:31But looking at it now, it's already dying.
14:33Mr. Albright, is it true Valor refusing the challenge because your instructors can't handle it?
14:38Frank Albright died in the line of duty and 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, buying off the press and smearing my father's
14:55legacy all 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 or wait until we embarrass you so badly, you'll never show
15:03your face again.
15:04Choose 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 while 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.
15:35Tactically, we're outmatched, but 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.
16:08Soul is a power fighter.
16:10His weakness is speed.
16:11Your 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, Saul.
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 Saul like this.
16:52Maybe we've got this.
16:54Something's wrong.
16:55You think those idiots actually believe Brett's winning?
16:58Saul always does this.
17:00Makes you think you're in it, and then drops you.
17:02Saul, stop wasting time on this.
17:08Stop running.
17:09Come on.
17:09That's all you got?
17:10Now show's over.
17:38Come on.
17:40Come on.
17:41Get up.
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, I...
18:23Get yourself checked out first.
18:24I'll give you one more chance.
18:26Sign the acquisition papers now, and Valor walks away with his dignity intact.
18:30Winning or losing, it doesn't change a thing.
18:33Valor's position is fixed.
18:35Position?
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 a detriment 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, and you still want in just
19:04to 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.
19:31Are 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.
20:09I 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!
21:07You 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.
21:40Keep that focus.
21:41We wrap this up and that Phantom Squad citation is yours.
21:45You've earned it.
21:46Though, I think I'm done after this.
21:49Where's this coming from?
21:53The accident last year took my wife.
21:56Derek's never going to walk the way he used to.
21:59Cora's still so young.
22:01They need me home.
22:03I want to be there for them.
22:04And someone's got to run the center.
22:07They're lucky to have you.
22:09Come by the center when you're on leave.
22:11The kids have been asking about the legendary Shadow for months.
22:15Yeah, all right.
22:16Elise!
22:32Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
22:35Frank!
22:43Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
22:48Finally get to meet your idol, huh?
22:50You nervous?
22:52Phantom Squad's best solo operator.
22:55She's everybody's hero, not just mine.
22:58And I'm not leaving without that signature.
23:02For her actions in overseas counter-terrip operations
23:05and her decisive role in neutralizing the June 25th hostage crisis,

23:40Sources close to the unit believe her disappearance is connected to the death of her partner.
23:44I owe you, Frank.
23:49I've got them.
23:52Rest easy.
24:04Floor's a mess.
24:07You blind?
24:10That's the janitor.
24:11I've seen her staring at Mr. Alston more than once.
24:18You hiding a photo of Mr. Albright?
24:20You're the janitor.
24:21What exactly do you think you're doing mooning over him?
24:34You think you can just dodge me?
24:36Coach Foster, you have a training session.
24:38Stay out of it!
24:40What's going on here?
24:55Mr. Albright, we didn't expect you back until Friday.
24:58Schedule changed.
24:59We're early.
25:00Shouldn't you all be in training right now?
25:02On our way now.
25:07I've got this.
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, and nobody looked into it.
26:01It hit the news for about a day, then just disappeared.
26:04Comments were shut down.
26:05Mr. Albright's in real trouble here.
26:08Elyse, stop.
26:09These aren't people you can mess with.
26:12Elyse!
26:15Derek, Miss Harlow had 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, you 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.
27:16Gave 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 Janiniter 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 Cora?
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.
29:41Since 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 Cora?
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.
30:13I'll drop her off myself.
30:15And Derek,
30:16I'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.
31:16The Meridian Group!
31:16The Meridian Group!
31:18The Meridian Group!
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 you're okay go rest I'll come see you tonight stay with
31:39her don't be so dramatic mr. Albright she's home she's fed and she's in one
31:44piece consider it a show of good faith we all know what you want Gina you want
31:48to take this place and we said no so you put a kid in the middle of it you're
31:51sick we tried the velvet glove this morning you spit on it now you get the
31:54fist you should be begging us for a buyout before we pave over this dump
31:57Brett you're all so sensitive I haven't even shown you the gift yet what do
32:08you actually want word is valor runs the best MMA marksman and tactical programs
32:14in the area miss Harlow brought people we want a public match your instructors
32:20against ours one-on-one across all three disciplines that's it just a friendly
32:25competition yes it's just a competition but when Valor's finest get dismantled in
32:30their own backyard on camera tell me who's gonna trust you with their training
32:35ever again I know exactly what your instructors are worth Gina you think

33:48father's legacy alive make this place actually matter but looking at it now
33:51it's already dying Albright is it true Valor refusing the challenge because your
33:56instructors can't handle it Frank Albright died in the line of duty and you
34:00turn it into a marketing opportunity that's a lie those three aren't I won't
34:05Valor accept the challenge mr. Albright was your father sacrifice stage for
34:08publicity can you answer that that's impressive as Harlow bringing in three
34:12phantom squad reservatives buying off the press and smearing my father's legacy all

34:19Derek confess to the cameras now or wait until we embarrass you so badly you'll
34:22never show your face again choose your poison they're gonna kill each other mr.

50:43Where's Cora?
50:47Are you okay?
50:48Did anyone hurt you?
50:50That lady really wanted me to eat her cake.
50:53I didn't want her cake.
50:55You're okay.
50:56Go rest.
50:56I'll come see you tonight.
50:58Stay with her.
51:00Don't be so dramatic, Mr. Albright.
51:02She'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.
51:07You want to take this place, and 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 before 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, marksman, and tactical programs in the area.
51:35Ms. Harlow brought people.
51:37We want a public match.
51:39Your instructors against ours.
51:41One-on-one across all three disciplines.
51:44That's it?
51:44Just 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, who's going to trust you with
51:54their 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?
52:22The plot thickens.
52:24That's Sol.
52:26Three-time back-to-back state MMA champion.
52:28Brett lost to him once.
52:29And Ron's tactics are dirty as they come.
52:32Got in your head before, didn't he?
52:33And you know him ever again.
52:34That woman is Luna.
52:36She 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.
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, you should have taken Ms. Harlow's offer when 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, make this place actually matter.
53:10But looking at it now, it's already 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.
53:23Those three aren't even...
53:24Why won't Valor accept the challenge?
53:26Mr. Albright, was your father's sacrifice staged for publicity?
53:28Can you answer that?
53:29That's impressive, Harlow.
53:31Bringing in three Phantom Squad reservatives, buying off the press,
53:33and smearing my father's legacy all for a piece of Valor?
53:35You really did go all out.
53:37Save the speech.
53:38You're a loser, Derek.
53:39Confess to the cameras now or wait until we embarrass you so badly,
53:41you'll never show your face again.
53:43Choose your poison.
53:44They're going to kill each other.
53:46Mr. Albright, say the word.
53:48I've been here since day one.
53:50I go up there and I finish it.
53:51They don't get to talk about this place like that.
53:54They're stronger than us across the board.
53:55That's exactly what they're counting on.
53:57Don't play their game.
53:58Then we walk into it.
54:00Mr. Frank was everything to me.
54:01I'm not standing here while they drag his name through the dirt.
54:03I'm in.
54:04Count me in, too.
54:06They 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.
54:14Tactically, we're outmatched, but I'm with Valor.
54:18Let's fight.
54:19You heard them, Mr. Albright.
54:20Nobody's forcing your hand here.
54:22Valor accepts.
54:23Yeah.
54:24Yeah.
54:28Yeah.
54:36Wonderful.
54:37Courage suits you, Mr. Albright.
54:39Let's start with MAA.
54:47Soul is a power fighter.
54:49His weakness is speed.
54:51Your only shot is to go first and go hard.
54:53Don't give him a chance to reset.
54:54Got it.
54:57What are you doing here?
54:58You're just the janitor.
55:00Go find somewhere else to be.
55:07Brett, you lost to me once and you came back for more?
55:12Don't get too comfortable, Soul.
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 Soul like this.
55:31Maybe we've got this.
55:33Something's wrong.
55:34You think those idiots actually believe Brett's winning?
55:37Soul always does this.
55:39Makes you think you're in it.
55:40And then drops you.
55:41Soul, stop wasting time on this.
55:47Stop running.
55:48Come on.
55:48That's all you got?
55:49Now show's over.
56:14Come on.
56:18Come on.
56:19Come on.
56:20Come on.
56:20Get up!
56:32Brad!
56:37Brad!
56:42What the hell?
56:44We threw in the towel.
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 his dignity intact.
57:09Winning or losing, it doesn't change a thing.
57:12Valor's position is fixed.
57:13Position? 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?
57:31Valor's nothing but in danger 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.
57:42And you still want in just to go down fast?
57:44A man in a wheelchair, a gym full of nobodies, running on a dead man's name.
57:47You really call this a training center? That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
57:50You getting this? Valor's done.
57:52Shut it down.
57:53Who said Valor's out of people?
