00:14Please, please don't kill me.
00:21General, every checkpoint's covered. No way through.
00:24We force our way in, the hostages die.
00:26Unless we cut our losses.
00:30Not happening. We're bringing them home.
00:33But they're dropping one hostage every five minutes.
00:36We've got nothing left.
00:38Wait, someone just slipped inside.
00:44That looks like Shadow.
01:03Elise. Abort. Get out of there now.
01:13If I bail now, the rest of them won't make it out alive.
01:16Floor two is wide open. They can box you in within a minute. Move! Now!
01:21A minute's all I need. I can make it.
01:38Please! Please don't kill me!
01:41Drop it! Drop it or she dies!
01:44You want it that bad?
01:47It's yours.
02:02All clear. Come get the hostages.
02:04Go! Go! Go!
02:09Damn good work, Elise. You just turned a dead end into a total win all by yourself.
02:13That's why you're Shadow. Best field operative in Phantom Squad.
02:16But next time, don't go cowboy on me.
02:19Here we go again.
02:22Don't bet your life on luck.
02:24You say that every single time. Relax. With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
02:29Keep that focus. We wrap this up and that Phantom Squad citation is yours.
02:33You've earned it.
02:35Though, I think I'm done after this.

02:48Cora's still so young.
02:50They need me home.
02:53I want to be there for them and someone's gotta run the center.
02:56They're lucky to have you.
02:59Come by the center when you're on leave.
03:01The kids have been asking about the legendary shadow for months.

05:58mr albright
05:59i thought you weren't back until the day after tomorrow
06:02Things got messy at the center.
06:04Mr. Albright came back early.
06:07Hand it over.
06:12It was just a little joke, Mr. Albright.
06:14I...
06:15Don't you have training?
06:16We were just heading there.
06:29Give that back.
06:34You're Elise, right?
06:35Any trouble, you come find me.
06:45I've got this.
06:51Who's Derek Albright?
06:53Get him out here now!
07:00I'm here on behalf of Meridian Group on the acquisition.
07:04Get Derek out here.
07:11Meridian Group?
07:12We're doing fine.
07:13Why would they want to acquire us?
07:15Meridian Group doesn't acquire.
07:17Colonize.
07:18If they move on you, you're done.
07:24I'm Derek.
07:26Whatever this is, take it to my office.
07:28Cora, go play for a bit.
07:34What's Meridian Group's deal?
07:37They're bad news.
07:39There was another training center thunderstrike that turned them down.
07:43The owner died in a car accident a week later.
07:46And nobody looked into it.
07:47It hit the news for about a day and just disappeared.
07:51Comments were shut down.
07:54Mr. Albright's in real trouble here.
08:01Elyse, stop.
08:02These aren't people you can mess with.
08:07Elyse.
08:10Derek, Miss Harlan sent me for an answer.
08:15Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
08:17I've been clear from the start.
08:18Valor stays with me.
08:20Mrs. Harlow is doing you a favor by even looking at Valor.
08:23Wipe that look off your face and start showing some gratitude.
08:29You don't want the company.
08:31You want the hero's legacy.
08:32You're just buying a halo to hide the blood on your hands.
08:36Look at you.
08:37You're not a total idiot after all.
08:40Too bad.
08:40When your father was alive, this place meant something.
08:44Now.
08:45You really think you can hold it together like this?
08:49We're done.
08:50Get out.
08:53Derek, don't push me on this.
09:10The office doesn't need cleaning today.
09:12Get out.
09:13Just doing my job, sir.
09:15Even your janitor has an attitude problem.
09:19Let me show you how Mrs. Harlow handles insubordination.
09:23Consider it a courtesy.
09:25Back off.
09:26My answer is still no.
09:28Valor is not for sale.
09:29And my people are none of your damn business.
09:31Whether you sell is up to Mrs. Harlow.
09:33Not you.
09:34You're really going to burn bridges with us over a janitor, Mr. Albright?
09:37You sure about that?
09:39First, Valor is not for sale.
09:41Second, it doesn't matter who she is.
09:43As long as she's at Valor, I've got her back.
09:46Nobody touch people.
09:49Nobody.
09:50Sign it now.
09:52Or don't.
09:53But when Mrs. Harlow handles this herself, you won't be able to protect anyone.
09:57My father bled for this country.
09:59He built this place with what was left.
10:02I'm not letting you turn Valor into a front for your dirty laundry.
10:05Get out of my office!
10:06Now!
10:08Gave everything for his country.
10:10That just means he was stupid enough to let it happen.
10:21Go!
10:22Go!
10:24Go!
10:26Go!
10:27Go!
10:29Go!
10:30Go!
10:30Go!
10:32Go!
10:33Go!
10:35Go!
10:35Go!
10:36Go!
10:38Go!
10:40Go!
10:40Go!
10:42That move she just made...
10:47That's tactical movement.
10:49Don't touch what isn't yours.
10:54You crazy bitch! Keep your mouth shut before I make you!
11:02This is Valor's house. Are you leaving on your own or do I have to make you?
11:07Fine. When Miss Harlow gets here, don't come crying to me when this place shuts down.
11:15That was... thank you.
11:18But don't do that again. It's not worth the risk.
11:29Derek! I heard Meridian Group showed up.
11:32You okay?
11:33I'm fine. She helped.
11:35Her? We have three instructors at this center.
11:39When did a janitor become the one handling things?
11:43Look at her. You really think someone like that could handle herself?
11:47Brett would put her down in one hit.
11:49Don't underestimate women. Shadow's a woman. Ten of me wouldn't be enough.
11:56Shadow's in a completely different league. You're gonna compare a janitor to her?
11:59Hey janitor. You even know who Shadow is? Ring any bells?
12:05Enough. We've got a situation. Meridian isn't going to let this go. They'll come back with something worse.
12:12My guess? She sends people to make trouble.
12:16Let them come. They show up. We put them down.
12:19Don't make it simple. Meridian Group is like a snake. They don't come straight at you.
12:25Where's Cora? Did any of you see her on your way in?
12:29Go find her. Now!
12:34Mr. Albright? This is Gina Harlow from Meridian Group.
12:38Since your staff was so physical with my associate, I thought I'd invite your sister over for a visit instead.
12:46What did you do to Cora?
12:50Freeze, Derek. She's having the time of her life.
12:52Don't take my word for it. Check your messages.
13:09A little kid out alone? That's not very safe.
13:21You have a problem with me. Come at me. Let Cora go.
13:25Relax. I'm just keeping her company for a bit. I'll bring your sister back myself.
13:29And when I do, I'll have a little gift for you.
13:34That bitch is playing with us.
13:37Where's the janitor? Where'd she go?
13:48That was my fault. I should have been watching.
13:55But I promise, I don't care what it costs.
14:03We're here! The Meridian Group! A whole convoy!
14:31What is it?
14:51Derrick!
14:53Mrs. Harlow decided you were worth a personal visit.
14:58Try to look grateful.
15:17Where's Korra?
15:29Are you okay?
15:30Did anyone hurt you?
15:34That lady really wanted me to eat her cake.
15:38I didn't want her cake.
15:40You're okay. Go get some rest. I'll come see you tonight.
15:44Stay with her.
15:49Don't be so dramatic, Mr. Albright. She's home, she's fed, and she's in one piece. Consider it a show of
15:56good faith.
15:57We all know what you want, Gina. You want to take this place, and we said no. So you put
16:01a kid in the middle of it? You're sick!
16:03We tried the velvet glove this morning. You snout, you get the fist. You should be begging us for a
16:08buyout before we pave over this dump.
16:10Stretch!
16:20You're all so sensitive. I haven't even shown you the gift yet. What do you actually want?
16:27Word is Valor runs the best MMA, marksman, and tactical programs in the area. Mrs. Harlow brought people.
16:35We want a public match. Your instructors against ours, one-on-one across all three disciplines.
16:42That's it? Just a friendly competition?
16:45Yes, it's just a competition. But when Valor's finest get dismantled in their own backyard, on camera, tell me, who's
16:58going to trust you with their training ever again?
17:02I know exactly what your instructors are worth, Gina. You think we're scared of Meridian?
17:08Meridian? Only one way to find out.
17:29Are you kidding me? Them?
17:32Since when are they Meridian coaches? You people go digging in the dutter for this?
17:36Weren't they all brought into the Phantom Squad Reserves last year?
17:40Phantom Squad Reservals working for Meridian?
17:43That's Sol. Three-time back-to-back state MMA champion. Brett lost to him once.
17:55And Ron's tactics are dirty as they come. Got in your head before, didn't he?
18:08That woman is Luna. She and I tied at the regional marksman competition.
18:19So, Mr. Albright, still want to do this?
18:24You didn't come here to compete. You came here to start something. Take your people and get off Valor's property.
18:30Oh, yeah? And if we did, you should have taken Miss Harlow's offer when you had the chance.
18:36Too late to back out now.
18:40Come on in, everyone. Miss Harlow's got a story for you today.
18:45What's the matter? You scared? Then say it.
18:48Say it right here in front of all of them.
18:52Mr. Albright, this is a setup.
18:55I came here to keep your father's legacy alive. Make this place actually matter.
19:01But looking at it now, it's already dying. Just a matter of time.
19:06Look at this, everyone. Valor Training Center won't even step up for a fair fight.
19:10You want to know why? They've been hiding behind a dead man's name like it's a shield.
19:15That's not honor. That's a con.
19:18Mr. Albright, is it true Valor is refusing the challenge because your instructors can't handle it?
19:22Frank Albright died in the line of duty and you turn it into a marketing opportunity?
19:27Yeah!
19:33That's a lie! Those three aren't even...
19:35Mr. Albright, why won't Valor accept the challenge?
19:37Mr. Albright, was your father's sacrifice staged for publicity? Can you answer that?
19:42Shut the fuck up! You're a fucking liar!
19:46Screw you!
19:54That's impressive, Miss Harlow.
19:56Bringing in three Phantom Squad reservives, buying off the press, and smearing my father's legacy, all for a piece of
20:02Valor?
20:02You really did go all out.
20:06Save the speech.
20:07You're a loser, Derek.
20:09Confess to the cameras now, or wait until we embarrass you so badly you'll never show your face again.
20:15Choose your poison.
20:17No guts, no glory!
20:19Valor's just a storm!
20:21Mr. Albright, say the word. I've been here since day one. I go up there, and I finish it. They
20:26don't get to talk about this place like that.
20:28They're stronger than us. Across the board. That's exactly what they're counting on. Don't play their game.
20:34Then we walk into it! Mr. Frank was everything to me! I'm not standing here while they drag his name
20:41through the dirt! I'm in!
20:42Count me in, too! They don't get to do this!
20:46I'm in!
20:48Mr. Frank! Me, too!
20:52You watching this, Frank?
20:55Your people are something else.
20:59Tactically, we're outmatched. But...
21:02I'm with Valor. Let's fight.
21:05You heard them, Mr. Albright. Nobody's forcing your hand here.
21:17Valor...
21:19accepts.
21:19Yes!
21:22Wonderful.
21:24Courage suits you, Mr. Albright.
21:27Let's start with MMA.
21:49Saul is a power fighter. His weakness is speed. Your only shot is to go first and go hard. Don't
21:55give him a chance to reset.
21:57Got it.
22:03What are you doing here?
22:04You're just the janitor.
22:05Go find somewhere else to be.
22:16Brett, you lost to me once and you came back for more?
22:19Don't get too comfortable, Sol.
22:21Three years is a long time.
22:22I'm not that guy anymore.
22:24Take him apart, Coach Vega!
22:26Show them what the strongest gym in the state looks like!
22:31Come on, Brett.
22:46Brett's actually pushing him back.
22:48I didn't think he could hang with Sol like this.
22:50Maybe we've got this.
22:53Something's wrong.
22:56You think those idiots actually believe Brett's winning?
23:12Sol always does this.
23:14Makes you think you're in it, then drops you.
23:17Sol, stop wasting time on this.
23:21Stop running.
23:22Come on, that's all you got?
23:25I was watching.
23:28Seeing how much you've grown in three years.
23:35Now, show's over.
23:38Some thing you've done is...
23:44...
