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!
00:20Miss 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?
00:32Who is this woman?
00:32The way she moves, doesn't she remind you of Shadow?
00:35That was just one round.
00:36The 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?
00:56Valor's janitor.
01:1215 hours later.
01:13I'm not getting the same.
01:14I'm not getting the same.
01:16We're not getting the same.
01:24We're going to find you at 5 o'clock.
01:26Keep your time off and let your time off and off.
01:296 o'clock.
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.
02:56Yeah, alright.
02:57Elise!
02:57I-
02:57I-
03:12Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
03:16Frank!
03:17I-
03:24Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
03:29Finally 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 I'm not leaving without that signature.
03:43For her actions in overseas counter-terrape operations, and her decisive role in neutralizing the June 25th hostage crisis,
03:50Shadow is hereby awarded the Phantom Squad's highest commandation.
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.
04:26I 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. Stay out of it!
05:21What's going on here?
05:35Mr. Albright, we didn't expect you back until Friday.
05:38Schedule changed. We're early. Shouldn'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? Tell him to get out here.
06:10I'm here on behalf of Meridian Group on the acquisition. Get Derek out here.
06:19Meridian Group? We're doing fine. Why would they want to acquire us?
06:22Meridian Group doesn't acquire. They colonize. If they move on you, you're done.
06:26I'm Derek. Whatever this is, take it to my office.
06:29Cora, go play for a bit.
06:32It's Meridian Group's deal. They'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! These aren't people you can mess with.
06:52Elise!
06:56Derek.
06:57Ms. Harlow had sent me for an answer. Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
07:00I've been clear from the start. Valor stays with me.
07:15The office doesn't need cleaning today. Get out.
07:19Just doing my job, sir.
07:22Even your janitor has an attitude problem.
07:26Let me show you how Ms. Harley handles insubordinations. Consider it a courtesy.
07:31Back off. My answer is still no. Valor 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. Now!
07:57Gave everything for his country.
08:03That just means he was stupid enough to let it happen.
08:08Don't!
08:32That move she just made.
08:35That 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. It's not worth the risk.
09:21Derek. You okay?
09:24I'm fine. She 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. Ten 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.
10:07Meridian 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. No.
10:14Go find her. Now!
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?
10:39Breathe, 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.
11:08Where's the janitor?
11:09Where'd she go?
11:14That was my fault.
11:17I should have been watching.
11:20But I promise I will bring her back.
11:24Derek?
11:25They're here!
11:26The Meridian Group!
11:26A whole convoy!
11:43Derek!
11:44Ms. Harlow decided you were worth a personal visit.
11:47Try to look great.
12:04Where's Korra?
12:08Are you okay?
12:10Did 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.
12:18I'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.
13:05That'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 gonna trust you with their
13:15training 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?
13:40Phantom Squad reservals?
13:42Working for Meridian?
13:44The plot thickens.
13:45That's Sol.
13:47Three-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 wanna do this?
14:12You 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...
14:20You 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.
14:30Make 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! Those three aren't even...
14:45Why won't Valor accept the challenge?
14:47Mr. Albright, was your father's sacrifice staged for publicity? Can you answer that?
14:50That's impressive, Harlow.
14:51Bringing in three Phantom Squad reservatives?
14:54Buying off the press and smearing my father's legacy all for a piece of Valor?
14:57You really did go all out.
14:58Save the speech. You're a loser, Derek.
15:00Confess to the cameras now or wait until we embarrass you so badly you'll never show your 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.
15:11I go up there and I finish it.
15:13They don't get to talk about this place like that.
15:15They're stronger than us across the board.
15:17That's exactly what they're counting on.
15:18Don't play their game.
15:19Then we walk into it.
15:21Mr. Frank was everything to me.
15:22I'm not standing here while they drag his name through the dirt.
15:24I'm in!
15:26Count me in too!
15:27They 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, but I'm with Valor.
15:39Let's fight.
15:40You heard them, Mr. Albright.
15:41Nobody's forcing your hand here.
15:43Valor accepts.
15:44Yeah!
15:57Wonderful!
15:58Courage suits you, Mr. Albright.
16:00Let's start with MAA.
16:08Soul 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?
16:20You're just the janitor.
16:21Go find somewhere else to be.
16:29Brett, you lost to me once and you came back for more?
16:34Don'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, that's all you've got!
17:10Now shows it.
17:23Now shows it.
17:38Come on!
17:40Come on!
17:41Come on!
17:42Get up!
18:03What the hell we threw in the towel ref counts when the towel hits the ground
18:19that's one for us mr. Albright boss I'm sorry I get yourself checked out first I'll give you one more
18:25chance sign the acquisition papers now and Valor walks away with dignity intact winning or losing
18:31it doesn't change a thing Valor's position is fixed position you're in a position to talk about
18:36that right now this place could burn to the ground and I still wouldn't hand it to you

33:37oh yeah

37:00Get up!
37:13Brett!
37:23What the hell?
37:25We threw in the towel!
37:27Ref!
37:27Counts when the towel hits the ground.
37:38That's one for us, Mr. Albright.
37:41Boss, I'm sorry. I...
37:43Get yourself checked out first.
37:44I'll give you one more chance.
37:46Sign the acquisition papers now and 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? You're in a position to talk about that right now?
37:56This place could burn to the ground and I still wouldn't hand it to you.
38:01Then we keep going until there's nobody left at Valor willing to step up.
38:04Fine. I'll go.
38:06Ray, stop. You want to go up there and get killed?
38:08Mr. Albright, we need to call it. We don't have a chance here.
38:11Hey, reporters, take a look. Am I wrong?
38:12Valor's nothing but in touch. We're about to step the cage.
38:14I'll go up. Put me in.
38:17I'll do it.
38:20You all watched your MMA coach get carried out of that cage and you still want in just to go
38:24down fast?
38:25A man in a wheelchair, a gym full of nobodies, running on a dead man's name.
38:28You really call this a training center? That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
38:30You getting this? Valor's done. Shut it down.
38:34Who said Valor's out of people?
38:40Don't bet your life on luck.
38:42With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
38:43I've got them. Rest 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!
38:59Miss Harlow brought people.
39:00We want a public match.
39:02Your instructors against ours.
39:05Valor's done. Shut it down.
39:07Who said Valor's out of people?
39:09How is that possible?
39:11Who 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.
39:19I'm not trying to be cruel, but all of you combined, you're still not beating me.
39:23And 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.
39:34Who the hell are you?
39:35Valor's janitor.
40:03Hostages at your two o'clock.
40:05Five total, but there are seven hostiles around you.
40:07Intel was wrong.
40:07Fall 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.
40:24Please 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.
40:37Come up to rescue the hospital.
40:40Damn good work, Elise.
40:42You just turned a dead end into a total win.
40:44All by yourself.
40:45That's why you're Shadow.
40:46Best field operator in Phantom Squad.
40:48But next time, don't go cowboy on me.
40:52Here we go again.
40:53Don't bet your life on luck.
40:55You say that every single time.
40:57Relax.
40:57With you watching my back, I don't even need luck.
41:00Keep that focus.
41:01We wrap this up and that Phantom Squad citation is yours.
41:05You've earned it.
41:06Though, I think I'm done after this.
41:09Where's this coming from?
41:12The accident last year took my wife.
41:16Derek's never going to walk the way he used to.
41:19Cora's still so young.
41:21They need me home.
41:23I 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.
41:31The kids have been asking about the legendary Shadow for months.
41:35Yeah, all right.
41:36Elise!
41:51Remember, don't bet your life on luck.
41:55Frank!
42:02Today, we stand here to honor a hero.
42:08Finally get to meet your idol, huh?
42:09You nervous?
42:12Phantom Squad's best solo operator.
42:15She's everybody's hero, not just mine.
42:18And I'm not leaving without that signature.
42:22For her actions in overseas counter-terrip operations
42:25and her decisive role in neutralizing the June 25th hostage crisis,
42:29Shadow is hereby awarded the Phantom Squad's highest commendation.
42:35Shadow, please forward and receive your citation.
42:54One year ago today, Phantom Squad's legendary operator Shadow declined all honors and vanished.
43:00Sources 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.
44:17Schedule 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.
44:29Back 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 on the acquisition.
44:53Get Derek out here.
44:58Meridian Group?
44:59We're doing fine.
45:00Why would they want to acquire us?
45:01Meridian Group doesn't acquire.
45:03They colonize.
45:04If they move on you, you're done.
45:05I'm Derek.
45:06Whatever this is, take it to my office.
45:08Cora, go play for a bit.
45:12That's Meridian Group's deal.
45:13They'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.
45:24Comments were shut down.
45:25Mr. Albright's in real trouble here.
45:27Elyse, stop.
45:29These aren't people you can mess with.
45:31Elyse!
45:35Derek, Ms. Harlod sent me for an answer.
45:38Are you ready to sign the damn papers?
45:39I've been clear from the start.
45:41Valor stays with me.
45:55The office doesn't need cleaning today.
45:57Get out.
45:58I'm just doing my job, sir.
46:01Even your janitor has an attitude problem.
46:05Let me show you how Ms. Harlod handles insubordinations.
46:08Consider it a courtesy.
46:11Back off.
46:11My answer is still no.
46:13Valor is not for sale.
46:18Sign it now, or don't.
46:20But when Ms. Harlod handles this herself, you won't be able to protect anyone.
46:25My father bled for this country.
46:28He 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.
46:35Now.
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!
47:35This is Valor's house.
47:37Are you leaving on your own, or do I have to make you?
47:45Fine.
47:46When Ms. Harlod gets here, don'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.
48:00Derek.
48:01You okay?
48:03I'm fine.
48:04She helped.
48:05Her?
48:06We have three instructors at this center.
48:08When did a Jananiter become the one handling things?
48:12Look at her.
48:13You really think someone like that could handle herself?
48:15Brett would put her down in one hit.
48:17Don't underestimate women.
48:19Shadow's a woman.
48:20Ten 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?
48:32Enough!
48:32We've got a situation.
48:34Meridian 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, we put them down.
48:44Don't make it simple.
48:46Meridian Group is like a snake.
48:48They don't come straighty at you.
48:49Where's Cora?
48:50Did any of you see her on your way in?
48:52No.
48:53No.
48:53Go find her.
48:54Now!
48:57Mr. Albright, this is Gina Harlow from Meridian Group.
49:01Since 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 Cora?
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.
49:35And Derek, I'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.
50:04They're here!
50:05The Meridian Group!
50:06A whole convoy!
50:22Derek!
50:23Ms. Harlow decided you were worth a personal visit.
50:26Try to look great.
50:43Where's Cora?
50:47Where's Cora?
50:48Are 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.
50:56Go rest.
50:57I'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.
51:05Consider 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.
51:13You 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
51:53going 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.
52:08Are you kidding me?
52:10Since 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.
52:25That's Sol.
52:26Three-time back-to-back state MMA champion.
52:28Brett lost to him once.
52:30And Ron's tactics are dirty as they come.
52:32Got in your head before, didn't he?
52:33And you know him ever again.
52:35That woman is Luna.
52:36She and I tied at the regional marksman competition.
52:40So, Mr. Albright, still want to 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?
52:58And if we did, you should have taken Ms. Harlow's offer when you had the chance.
53:02Too late to back out now.
53:04Come on in, everyone.
53:05Ms. 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.
53:13Mr. 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...
53:24Why won't Valor accept the challenge?
53:26Mr. Albright, was your father's sacrifice staged for publicity?
53:29Can you answer that?
53:29That's impressive, Harlow.
53:31Bringing in three Phantom Squad reservatives, buying off the press and smearing my father's legacy all for a piece of
53:35Valor?
53:36You 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, you'll never show your face again.
53:43Choose your poison.
53:44They're going to kill each other.
53:47Mr. Albright, say the word.
53:48I've been here since day one.
53:50I go up there and I finish it.
53:52They don't get to talk about this place like that.
53:54They're stronger than us across the board.
53:56That'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.
54:05Count 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.
54:11You watching this, Frank?
54:12Your people are something else.
54:15Tactically, we're outmatched, but I'm with Valor.
54:18Let's fight.
54:19You heard the Mr. Albright.
54:20Nobody's forcing your hand here.
54:22Valor accepts.
54:23Yeah!
54:35Wonderful.
54:37Courage suits you, Mr. Albright.
54:39Let's start with MAA.
54:47Sol 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.
54:55Got 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 and you came back for more?
55:13Don't get too comfortable, Sol.
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 Sol like this.
55:31Maybe we've got this.
55:33Something's wrong.
55:35You think those idiots actually believe Brett's winning?
55:37Sol always does this.
55:39Makes you think you're in it, and then drops you.
55:41Sol, stop wasting time on this.
55:47Stop running.
55:48Come on, that's all you got?
55:49Now show's over.
56:18Come on!
56:19Come on!
56:20Get up!
56:22Come on!
56:42What the hell?
56:44We threw in the towel!
56:46Ref!
56:47Counts when the towel hits the ground.
56:58That's one for us, Mr. Albright.
57:01Boss, I'm sorry.
57:02Get yourself checked out first.
57:04I'll give you one more chance.
57:06Sign the acquisition papers now, and Valor walks away with dignity intact.
57:10Winning or losing, it 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, 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.
57:24I'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 indetrious about to step the cage.
57:34I'll go up.
57:35Put me in.
57:36I'll do it.
57:40Hey, you all watched your MMA coach get carried out of that cage, and you still want in just
57:43to go down 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?
57:49That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
57:50You getting this?
57:51Valor's done.
57:52Shut it down.
57:53Who said Valor's out of people?
