Don't get me out.

I'm trying not to shoot my pants down.

What are you doing?

Oh, hey, man.

Got in early to knock this sucker out.

Smooth as a Smurf's ass, right?

That deck was the perfect teachable moment. You just tanked my entire week.

know they're here to learn karate. You don't need to trick them with chores.

Oh, I'm sorry. What was your lesson plan? Line them up and throw forward

all day?

I go by feel.

Some days I'll toss them in a cement mixer. Other days I'll find a hornet's

for them to kick. Let's not do this, okay?

Clearly our students want us to find a way to work through our differences.

I know you don't want to join Miyagi -Do, but at least you have to respect

Respect's a two -way street.

You respect my style of karate?

You got to understand, man, I was taught that karate is for defense only. It's

always going to be tough for me to respect Cobra Kai. You mean Eagle Fang.

Oh, come on, Johnny. Is there really a difference? You're still teaching

aggression. Some kids need a little aggression.

You know what?

Let's give it a try. I teach you Miyagi -Do, you teach me Eagle Fang.

Deal.

No, don't make the shake on it.

Hi, I'm Tori.

We baiting on anybody or is it just you?

It's just me.

Can I start you off with something?

Actually, there's only one thing I need, and that's for you to stay the hell

away from my daughter.

Wait, you're... Yes, I am.

You came to my job?

Well, I tried calling your parents. No call back. Big surprise.

Should I have kicked in your front door?

Is that more your speed?

Every day in my house, there are little reminders of a mess you made.

I see my daughter covering up her bruises and scars.

The only reason you aren't behind bars right now is because she asked me not to

drag this ordeal out.

Just to have your little tournament.

But if you touch one hair on her head before then, you'll be scrubbing toilets

in prison for the rest of your life.

If you're lucky.

Excuse me, miss.

I think my soup is ready. I see it on the counter over there. Yeah, just a

minute.

I think you should leave.

I will.

Not here to cause a scene, just here to deliver a message.

But I need to know that you got that message.

What if I didn't?

Well, then that would be a mistake.

Is everything okay here, ma 'am?

I don't know, is it?

Miss, I don't want my soup to get cold. Will you shut the hell up?

That's it.

Put away your uniform.

I've had enough of your attitude.

You're fired.

Thanks a lot.

This place got a B on the health inspection.

They hide the sign, say you can't see it.

And I saw one of the cooks dip his balls in the miso.

You know what?

You can canter on this.

Let's glitch it up.

New kid, get in there.

We'll get you some gym clothes next week.

LaRusso, Thompson, you're in too.

Let's go.

All right, sup out.

Sup, Slade.

Ha, look who it is.

I'll cover the ballerina.

I'm open.

Hey,

break it up. New kid, get the ball.

Oh, shit.

Dude, you just got facialed.

Bust out some of that karate.

I told you, okay?

They can't. Those moves cause, like, permanent brain damage.

Ah, whatever, my puss -o.

Sorry, man. It was an accident.

Bullshit.

Come on.

Dave's a new kid at break dance.

We've got a game to finish.

Yeah.

All right, Leah.

Just ignore them.

Don't trip, by the way.

Thanks. Um... Jim.

Remember...

You know, I could have this finished in two minutes with a paint sprayer. Then

you'll be missing the point of the lesson.

You know, you can't just lay your paint on shit. You need a heat gun, get down

to the base, maybe a right angle scraper. That's not the point.

If you want to learn how to fight defensively, you've got to change your

instincts. Yeah, well, my instincts say this is a waste of time.

That's quality.

You missed the spot.

Over there.

You got a crew there.

What? You quitting already?

That's it?

Look, maybe you could do this, but I can't.

Defense is boring.

Offense will always be more badass.

Fruit in your beer figures.

Holy shit.

How the hell did you do that?

Miyagi -Do may seem boring.

But don't forget it saved your ass a few weeks ago from Crete.

And that wasn't the first time.

Come on, who's the loser now? You fuck!

Nobody was more badass than Mr. Miyagi.

Remember, side, side.

There's a reason Miyagi -Do is difficult to learn.

These blocks are incredibly precise.

Each one is designed to overcome a specific attack.

Show me wax on, wax off.

The more you learn Miyagi -Do, the tougher you are to defeat.

Except for one tiny flaw.

Their entire style is reactive.

Which means all their moves are counter moves.

That means that we are in control.

And we can use that to set traps.

Shall we paint the fence?

Sorry. Just part of the lesson.

Enough!

Nichols in my office.

Continue the lesson.

What is it?

Something happen with your mother?

No.

It's nothing.

I lost my job, okay?

And it's not so easy looking for another one when you're on probation.

Do you feel sorry for yourself?

I... When something bad happens, you have two choices.

You let it tear you down, or you let it build you up.

Sometimes a step backwards.

a wind's new path forward.

Now, what happened?

Hey, Dad. Hey, champ.

Did you get home?

Did I get the time difference right?

Yes, sir.

How was your first day?

Make any new friends?

I'm still getting to know everyone.

I know it's not easy to switch to a new school in the middle of the year.

But if you do things the right way, you'll see results.

I will.

My boy.

How's Mom doing?

She's at the office a lot.

Yeah, she works hard.

She needs you now.

She's had a tough time since.

After what happened to your brother.

I know.

You're the man of the house now, Kenny.

You shouldn't have to be, but you are.

Can you rise to that for me?

Yeah, Dad.

I love you, champ.

I miss you.

Love you, too.

Bye.

One day, over 400 years ago, there was a fisherman.

His name was Shinpo Sensei.

Ambition without knowledge is like a boat on dry land.

That's it.

Big circle.

Right circle.

Left circle.

Walk on the left side of the road.

Safe. Walk on the right side of the road.

Safe. Walk down the middle.

Get squished like rings.

Center yourself, Johnny.

Look inward.

Find your balance.

There you go.

Now, show me the move.

That's it.

Balance good.

Karate good.

Everything good.

This thing isn't even level.

Or maybe you have a little imbalance inside of you. I still don't see me

any of this in a real fight.

I've been trying to tell you, Miyagi -Do is not about fighting.

You know what Mr. Miyagi said was the best defense in all of karate?

High outside block against an axe kick?

The best defense is no be there.

You mean don't be there?

Guy teaches you centuries of his ancient family karate and you can't help him

with his English?

Don't even go there with me, Johnny.

All right, are we done or do I have to sit in here and freeze my nuts off to

find inner peace?

No, we're done.

You got a taste of Miyagi -Do?

That was the goal.

Good.

Well, get ready.

Because tomorrow you learn real mankind.

Oh, I can't wait to hear all about the illustrious history and wise teaching of

the Eagle Fang.

Check this out.

What else do I do for fun?

Draw anime.

Listen to music.

Every now and then, some Dungeon Lord cosplay.

Don't tell anyone I told you that.

Don't worry, your secret Is safe with me.

Oh, my God. He cosplays this shit?

Ask him who's his favorite character.

Dr. Scribblebottom.

Dr. Scribblebottom?

Oh, my God. That is, like, the lamest character. He's, like, this stupid

chipmunk with big ears and a lab coat. He mixes, like, health potions. How do

you know so much?

I just, you know.

I overheard some nerds talking about it.

I got an idea.

Tell him you, I mean, Leah and a bunch of other Dungeon Lord losers are meeting

up at Balboa Park tomorrow night.

Tell him to cosplay as Mr.

Scrap -a -Lass or whatever.

Why? Why? What's the plan?

Just do it.

Just do it.

Yeah.

Where do you want to go?

He has no clue.

This is going to be great.

Excuse me, do you have any more of the clam milk chocolate glued out?

Let me go look.

Butterfingers, huh?

What are you doing here?

Well, it's honey crisp season.

This store has the best produce in the valley.

Don't you need to be a legally mandated distance away from me?

Other way around.

Technically, you're the one in violation.

I know about the deal that you struck with my husband and Johnny, and I just

want you to know.

That whatever happens at the tournament, I will make sure you lose.

Is that why you're sabotaging my student?

I've been trying to get Tori fired.

But that girl's asking for trouble. She broke into my house, attacked my

daughter.

She's gonna have scars for the rest of her life.

I respect you defending your daughter.

I think that's what all mothers should do.

Unfortunately, Tori doesn't have a mother.

or one that's healthy enough to defend her.

That girl has to pay the bills, put food on the table, all by herself.

I didn't know that.

Oh, now you know.

So you might want to leave the girl alone.

Or deal with the consequences.

Mrs. Luther, I found that Gouda.

Last one, too. Must be your lucky day.

Remember, not all kids are as lucky as yours.

Sweet.

Come on, Johnny. Time to wake

up. I'm ready for Eagle Fang training.

That sounded as ridiculous out loud as I thought it would.

You sure you're ready?

As I'll ever be.

The hell?

Where the hell did you take me? An abandoned factory?

This is how psychos in horror movies act, you know that.

Want to circle around things your whole life?

Wait for problems to show up at your doorstep?

That's not what an eagle does.

Here, at Eagle Fang,

We do not follow.

We attack.

We lead.

We grow into what we were meant to be.

And what were we meant to be, Johnny?

Men.

An eagle embraces the pain.

All your life, the world's been trying to make you less of a man.

Light beer, veggie burgers, automatic transmission.

Might as well let another dude bang your chick.

You realize the cold is supposed to be shoveled into the forge, right? Don't

question me, Newark.

Keep shoveling.

Let's go with him, so start climbing.

Jumping up those soft hands.

Push!

Can't wait to get hit. When I strike before the hit gets to you.

Is this a blocking exercise?

No!

If you think you should be defending, you should be offending.

The human response to danger is fight or flight. The eagle's response is fight

and flight.

Move it. Be aggressive.

Attack.

That's it. Attack.

Good, LaRusso. Good.

Manliness is next to godliness. We got this.

Find your limit and soar past it. Come on. We're going to have to do it anyway.

Go ahead.

Keep climbing, LaRusso!

You got this!

Funky, funky!

Put your thanks in those balls!

That's it!

That's it!

Now come on!

Let's go, LaRusso! You got this! Yeah!

Yeah!

That's what I'm talking about!

More like an evil thing! Yeah! Keep going!

Yeah!

Trying to break it.

You guys were being assholes.

What did you just call him?

Pick him up.

All right, LaRusso.

Let's see your moves.

Yeah.

Don't call me that.

There's a hole! There's a hole!

Go, go!

It's

pretty

cold. No. Come on, this way.

What are you doing here?

After a hard day of honest work, refreshing beers, watching guys beat the

out of each other.

Does this mean I passed my Eagle Fang training?

I didn't say training was over.

What are you talking about?

Look, you're tougher than a prima donna, I'll give you that.

Sometimes you gotta show your toughness.

Look at those guys.

You think they play by the rules?

The only rule in this league is intimidation.

That's why striking first is so important.

That guy's a rat. That's Spearing. At least a double minor.

Hey, Raph! Spearing!

Double minor!

Come on!

Oh,

he looks pissed.

What the hell, Dick?

Hey, he's the one that called it.

Hey, your boyfriend do all your talking for you? No, I'm just explaining the

rules to him. Oh, yeah. Come explain it to me down here.

Okay, I know what you're trying to do, all right? I'm not going to get in a

fight with that guy.

He says you're a pussy and he can kick your ass any day of the week. Hey,

enough, all right? Cut it out. Oh, come on down, Sally.

Let's go. I didn't say that.

I need to apologize for my friend here. He's a little unstable.

We're working through it.

Sorry.

You see what I just did there?

That's called de -escalation.

You should try it sometime.

You know what?

I actually had fun.

Not even you could ruin hockey for me, Johnny.

You see?

Did they win because they played better defense?

No, they won because they beat the crap out of the other team.

I'm not going to change my stripes, okay? I just now have a little better

understanding of what goes on in that head of yours.

So you're saying you respect Eagle Fatty?

Yes, the way I respect a madman with a nuke.

I'll take it.

Hey, shithead!

Hey, good game, guys. No hard feelings, right?

Because of you, I spent half the game in the box.

Yeah, but you still leaked out a win. It was great.

So, you can kick my ass any day of the week? Is that right?

No, I didn't say that. He... Looks like your lover boy bailed on you.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You know what this is?

The Russo Auto.

The chopping price of the guy from TV?

Let's get that smoking hot brunette right on the plate.

Hey, hey, guys.

That's my wife.

I think maybe I'll take her for a test drive.

All right, shotgun.

I got the backseat to myself.

Sir, you're dominant.

Where the hell were you?

No be there.

And make sure that Louie doesn't go anywhere near the Diona reps.

Just lock him in a supply closet or something.

I'll just put a cannoli under a giant net. He'll go for it. I'm serious.

So am I. Do I not look serious?

Shit. What are we saying?

Shit.

You think this makes up for it?

Leaving this at my doorstep?

I don't need your sympathy.

I just wanted to make sure you and your family had enough food. Yeah, I feed my

family. Look, why don't we go talk? We can go to my office.

No, we're talking right here. Okay, maybe we just lower our volume, huh?

You know, Gandhi once said that nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Take one more step towards me and I'll snap you in half like a pencil.

Why do I step into these karate situations?

Joy, I just want all of this to be over.

Yeah, well, don't worry.

It'll all be over soon.

When I humiliate your daughter at the All Valley in front of everyone.

Thanks for lighting a fire under me.

I needed that.

Hey, should I start wearing protective gear to work? And follow -up question,

should I be calling the police right now? No.

Not a word of this to Daniel.

Ever since I started at this new school, my life has been miserable.

They chase me, beat me up.

Stop it.

It's not gonna stop.

I don't know how I'm gonna keep going.

I don't feel safe.

One of them even knows karate.

Karate, huh?

What's so funny?

Hey. Don't worry about it little bro.

I know a guy who can help.
