Original subtitles

Are you ready?

Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah.

Stop,

this is not like that.

Could we just change that last line?

What?

They want to change the dialogue.

No, no, no, no, no, but listen.

You just do your job, we smile, go out to dinner with

these corporate cocksuckers, and you go home a richer man.

Sweet.

Whoa.

Oops.

Yeah, our customers are very excited.

When the hell is the fight, Stan?

It should start any second.

What are we giving?

The best from the clubs are a five to one boycott.

Markov says this new fighter is extremely good.

Heard that one before.

Across

Russia and Europe, in this evening's ball, weighing in at 104 kilos, fighting out of

Kirov Penitentiary in Siberia, with a record of 14 wins

and no defeats, convicted of second degree homicide.

Our challenger, our commander...

...fights without defeat, convicted of three

counts of homicide in the first degree.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

14 kilos.

Hardcore.

Hardcore.

To success.

Na zdrovje.

Here he is.

Excuse me.

George, you're an hour late for the dinner.

Oh, my bad.

I forgot all about that dinner.

Cheers.

The ad execs are getting pissed off.

Come in, have a drink, and we'll go.

All right, I'm going to change clothes.

Give me 10 minutes.

10 minutes on top of an hour.

Hey, listen.

This brownnosin' and breakin' bread bullshit, that's your job.

I did mine already, they can kiss this ass.

Tell you what, 20 minutes.

Here it is.

Here he comes.

If we cannot get better odds against Boyka, we will have to shut down by three.

It cannot keep going on like this.

Don't worry.

It won't.

They said nobody saw these guys, George.

What, they ain't got no surveillance cameras out here?

I don't know.

Nobody will think I did this shit.

What are you fighting?

Hey, champ.

No one's ever going to stop you, huh?

We're going to get out of here some day.

You'll be the richest man in Kiev.

I just hope you'll remember me.

It was an accident.

Put out your hand.

No.

Did you hear?

Hear what?

He's coming.

The police is already in his room.

He'll be here tomorrow.

This is your Bible.

Why, yes, sir.

I take the good book with me everywhere I go.

That is not mine.

Then this must not be yours, too.

No, it isn't.

What the hell's going on here?

They're setting me up.

American boxer George Chambers is being transferred

to a maximum security jail to await charges.

Convicted of a controversial assault charge six years ago, the former

heavyweight champion of the world was also cautioned

in 1993 over the possession of illegal painkillers.

Our sources have indicated that the quantity of narcotics involved is well

over the threshold for a trafficking charge.

This is Maria Alonso.

Reporting from Russia.

He just arrived.

Fucker, y'all look at that.

Good evening, Mr. Chambers.

I trust your journey wasn't too uncomfortable.

Now, you and I both know you don't give a damn how my journey was.

I understand you've been to prison before in the United States.

And don't pretend that you don't know who the hell I am either.

I was a big fan of yours during height of your career.

In fact, we all are very excited you're here.

Don't get too excited, because I plan on walking straight

out of here as soon as this shit straightened out.

Perhaps.

But in the meantime, you should know that in

this facility, we think very highly of fighters.

In fact, we even have our own champion here.

You ain't hearing me, Colonel Klink.

I told you, I don't plan on staying here long.

Take this shit out of here.

Fuck y 'all.

Heat this shit up.

No sluch in your voice.

You take shower now.

Go fuck yourself.

Jim, gift from Boyka.

Warm peace.

Are you all right, Jim?

Turn around.

Get the fuck out of my face.

Got it.

This is bullshit.

I don't mean to bother you, but...

you'd better get up.

Look, if you don't leave your sub when they unlock the door, they'll lock it again.

You won't eat or get air for the rest of the day.

Not that either of those things is particularly pleasant out here.

Yo, dude.

Let's get one thing straight.

Now, I don't need to learn the ropes around here.

You feel me?

Sure, Mr. James.

Of course.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

I'm going to be there right away.

I'm doing well.

Mm-hmm.

You

don't have to be a super sufferer kind of guy.

I'll help you out, baby.

Go ahead.

You know, Jim.

Let's get out of here and get some rest.

We're going to take a quick break.

All right.

Get up, Jim.

Let's go.

Do you mind if I join you?

Dude,

why do you keep staring at me like that?

I'm sorry.

It's just...

Well, it's incredible that I'm sharing a cell with George Chambers here.

Stephen Parker.

Look,

I don't want to be pushing at me.

You don't want to mess with Boyka.

You stand.

You stand up.

Boyka, huh?

What kind of bitch ass name is that?

You were great champion.

I know.

Long time ago.

Long time.

I am the champion.

And you?

You are just my...

Why

did you stop me?

You think I'm afraid of that fucking golf?

Yuri, I told you.

You'll have your shot at him.

I... I had my shot at him!

And then your guards stepped in to save him!

How do you think that looks?

Look, we've had it.

I didn't ask you.

You cannot stop me from doing what I have to do.

No one wants to stop you.

We're just telling you we have to be sure it is in the ring.

Some bad news.

They're not offering bail.

Did you call Ruben and Ellie?

George, Ruben is an American attorney.

He can't help with this.

Did you even call... Listen.

You better tell me something I want to hear right now.

I've already been to the embassy.

They're very upbeat.

But they're telling me the process could take anywhere from a month to... A month?

What the fuck you talking about?

Now, Phil, I swear to God, you better turn around and

get me a team of lawyers and get me the fuck out of here.

I will.

It's just gonna take a little bit more time.

You fucking clown.

Do you know what it feels like to be in here for nothing?

Huh?

Bullsitting me.

Just be patient, George.

I'm doing everything I can.

My dear friend, Markov.

So where are we?

He's uncomfortable.

That's a good first step.

I don't need first steps.

I need him to fight.

There's already bad blood between him and Boyka.

I think he'll fight.

You think?

That's a nice surprise.

Think isn't good enough, Markov.

I have to start making arrangements now.

Sure.

The only problem is this idiot hopes he'll go free any day.

Yeah.

Well, I'll handle that.

We just take care of the fight.

And Markov?

Yeah.

Don't disappoint me.

Okay.

I said enough!

What the fuck's going on?

How you doing this?

I said enough!

What

the hell was that about?

Nothing.

But thanks for your help anyway.

Well, don't take it personally, junkie.

I just don't like seeing people getting bullied.

Unless it's me doing the bullying.

Listen, Mr. Chambers.

There's something you ought to know about this place.

Even though you're getting out any day, of course.

What?

It's owned by the mob.

I mean, one man, really.

He owns the cons.

He owns the cops.

His name's Gaga.

Gaga?

Yeah.

So why you telling me?

Just thought it best if... if you...

If I what?

Go with the program.

Best way to stay healthy.

Hey, I got my own way of staying healthy.

What's that?

Knock the other son of a bitch out before he gets a chance to do it to me.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen to me, listen to me.

What happened?

What?

You think you come in here and do what you want?

Fuck you!

This is my world.

Motherfucker can keep your world.

I don't want this shit.

And anyway, why you talkin' to me right now, man?

Either throw your hands or step the fuck out of the...

And you're so tough, then fight me!

Help me!

In the ring!

Man, fuck the ring!

We can do this shit right now!

Bitch ass pump!

Fuck you!

Right in the ring!

Right now!

Fuck ass!

You have to concentrate on one fight at a time.

Forget the American from... Shut up!

Do your fucking job!

Heavyweight champion of the world.

Or you'll be his fucking head off.

Of course you will.

But tonight, you'll rip someone else's head off, okay?

Shut up!

So what are the bets?

Two hundred and fifty thousand across the first three

rounds, and another twenty across four and five.

Could be a lot better.

Give me the phone.

Markov.

What the hell's going on?

Five starts in fifteen minutes.

I'm walking to the arena right now.

That's not what I'm talking about.

What the fuck's going on with Chambers?

We're doing everything we can, Gagan.

You better do more, my friend.

You better do more, understand?

Yes.

Warden wants to see you.

Only person I want to see is from the U.S.

Embassy.

You see Warden now.

That's enough.

Mr. Chambers, you are making things very difficult.

There's a way you can make your time here much easier.

You've seen now our resident champion, Yuri Boyko, in action.

We want to arrange a fight between the two of you.

I ain't fighting, man.

I wouldn't take part in this circus brawl bullshit you got going on here anyway.

The hell you call that shit?

A sport?

As I was saying, if you fight, you'll find that

things could become much more pleasant around here.

Who knows, you could even find yourself on a plane, heading home.

Fine.

Have it your way.

Sewage duct for whole prison.

Very old.

Clogged every day.

Go.

Uh, hell no.

Go!

Get the shit out of my face!

Fuck you.

If you don't work, then we'll make you work.

Don't give these gorillas an excuse.

It's not worth it.

Give me a number.

When you show up.

Eighteen.

You bring it back to me when you finished each day.

Make sure you clean the ship before you give it back.

Not bad for an old Russian dude.

I've had time to practice.

Oh, Christ!

Man, you truly stink.

Fuck you.

Maybe I should ask for a gas loss.

Or maybe transfer to another cell.

What, miss on all my sparkling conversation?

Looks like Krod gave you quite a hard time.

Who?

The guy in the wheelchair, Krod.

Krod is Russian for mole.

You know... I don't know.

That guy used to be a commando in the Russian army.

I'm told he was quite a mean motherfucker back then.

He even killed a prison guard.

That old dude?

Yeah.

There's no way they're gonna let him out of this shithole.

But you, on the other hand...

You're one of the lucky few that does have a way out.

Yeah?

How so?

Take Markov's offer.

Fight Boyko.

Jesus, don't you guys ever sleep?

Look at you.

Janky fuck.

You're lucky to still be breathing.

If he doesn't fight soon, your luck will end.

We bring you a message from Boyko.

Hey!

Stop!

Hey!

Stay out!

What?

He's in the hall.

People change their minds in that place.

What?

Stand up.

Stand up, I have soup.

Pills.

Chew and swallow.

Help with your fever.

Why are you doing this?

Shut up and drink.

And take these two.

Okay.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you care why I do it?

Because where I'm from ain't nothing free.

Why?

You'll never help anyone?

Probably not.

Motherfucker, you don't know me.

That's why I bought my mother a ten bedroom house.

I don't do for nobodies.

He'll probably do that for you too.

Hey, you know what your problem is, old man?

You've been here too long.

You lost touch with reality.

Your problem is that you're not accepting reality.

Reality is I was framed.

I don't belong here.

And I ain't gonna be here much longer.

You still don't understand.

I will never let you out of here.

Get him cleaned up.

This Beluga caviar.

25,000 American dollars per kilo.

Looks like rat shit to me.

Smells like it too.

Do you know who I am, Mr. Chambers?

You're the big dog, right?

Yeah, I'm the big dog.

I am the big dog that brought you here.

So, Mr. Big Dog, what makes you think I

won't jump up there and make you a dead dog?

Because I know you're not stupid.

Let me explain something to you, Mr. Chambers.

I'm a businessman.

And this is a business situation.

Please.

I brought you here.

I can let you out.

The choice is yours.

You want me to fight that clown Boyka, right?

It will make me very happy, yeah.

And if I don't?

Well, you could end up in this place for a very long time.

Maybe meet with an accident.

Perhaps stay forever.

Well, as we speak, I got my man working on turning this

thing into the biggest media circus you've ever seen.

Your man?

Which man is this?

A manager.

Listen, George, everything's gonna be all right.

Gaga here has a great plan.

We're all gonna make a ton of money.

Oh, shit.

They told me the whole thing would be quick, that you'd be out in a week.

The money is huge.

It's what we've been waiting for.

You just need to stop being so goddamn stubborn and take the fight.

Motherfucker!

I'll kill your motherfucking ass!

Backstabbing son of a bitch!

Don't be stupid.

Take the fight.

Shut up!

Dead man, shut the fuck up!

I have good news.

Tell me.

I'm so bloody excited, George.

Why?

Why?

You're going to fight Boyka, that's why.

Hey.

You don't need a corner man, do you?

What, you got somebody in mind?

George.

I'm the only one you can trust around here, you know that, don't you?

Can I ask you something, George?

What?

If you got out of here...

What's the first thing you'd do?

You mean when I get out of here, right?

Of course.

I don't know, Stevie.

I'd try to see my wife.

You're married?

I like to think so.

Did she ever visit you here?

Once.

She's got a boyfriend now.

Commodities or something.

It's messed up, Stevie.

Doesn't hurt anymore.

Used to, you know?

Not anymore.

When you getting out of here, man?

Oh...

Twelve years.

Damn.

Stevie.

You ever think about cleaning your shit up?

What for?

See, Stevie, don't hold it like that.

Hold it like this.

You hold it like this, you'll rip your shoulder out of the socket.

So hold it like that, you got it?

I think so.

Don't worry.

All right.

Jab.

Cross.

Jab.

Cross.

Jab.

Cross.

Good enough for me?

Follow me down like a sleeve.

Gonna crush you.

You flattened out your brain, they touch and rust you.

Gonna get touch pain, and they gonna crush you.

Dust you off your career.

I'm down low for 되는데.

LCD's okay.

Ournte visto c clusteriu Headi kid si blues.

I am the storm of power!

Because I am the man of the life's last hour!

You're gonna feel my power!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

Oh, for fuck's sake, man.

I did everything you asked, didn't I?

He's going to fight.

We have one more job for you.

Understand?

Yeah.

How did I do?

Not bad.

Hey.

Let's do this.

Ever friend in London?

Put half a million on Boyka.

Boyka?

But sir, 80% of the money coming in is on the American.

Whatever you say, sir.

The fight you've all been waiting for.

To my right, fighting out of the United States with a record

of 38 victories and no defeats, George Iceman Schindler!

And to my left, a man who needs no introduction, our own undisputed champion,

Johnny Boyka!

Boyka!

Boyka!

Boyka!

Boyka!

Boyka!

Boyka!

Boyka!

Gentlemen, remember, no biting, no eye gouging, and no hair pulling.

I'll beat you with your own game.

Fists only.

Just don't bleed on me too much.

Fight!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Come on, Stevie.

What happened?

You were drugged.

That's

your ass, Stevie.

Son of a bitch.

God damn it, Stevie.

Fucking pussy.

Get up.

I am pussy?

I am pussy.

Look at your face.

You are a fucking pussy.

That fight was bullshit and you know it.

You had to do it.

That Stevie drugged me and that's how you won.

I am the best fighter in the world.

I do not need your junkie friend to help me win.

And you believe this fucking American?

You drug your opponents and you call yourself a fighter?

You do not know what you are talking about.

You make big excuses because you lose.

You should be happy I did not finish you.

You guys can't get enough of each other.

Fuck you.

Move over back to your cell.

Man, fuck you.

You said I'd get out.

I know nothing about this arrangement, George.

But surely I look into it.

You dying motherfucker.

I'm gonna

have your ass, punk.

Wait till I get out of here.

Yeah, you punk.

You.

Mark off, you motherfucker.

You understand what I...

You...

There's a rumor.

The American was given a bottle of water with something in it.

I'm told you know something about it.

Boyka?

No.

Is it true?

That's him.

But...

Look at this.

Look!

Egyptians.

Greeks.

Asians.

American boxers.

All made fighting into a science.

I am the next stage.

And you think I need you to drag my opponents?

Wipe this fucking trash off my floor.

Listen.

I was wondering when you're planning on releasing him.

I mean, since the deal is done.

No.

Since when did you start caring about Mr. Chambers, Phil?

It's not that.

It's just people are starting to ask questions.

Questions?

What do you want, Phil?

Well, given the, uh...

Unexpected hassles, the delays...

I'd like another $250.

Oh.

Okay.

$250 it is.

Oh, that's great.

$240?

I guess this is goodbye then.

Have a nice trip, Mr. Gold.

Thank you.

Now, what the hell are you looking at?

It has been brought to my attention that a few of you have

been interfering with the punishment of inmate chambers.

All those responsible, identify themselves now by raising their hands.

Step forward!

Anyone else?

I see.

Step forward!

Very cute.

So now you'll stand out here in the fucking cold and think about it!

Motherfucker!

Shut up, I told you to do nothing, nothing without asking me first.

Shut the fuck up.

If anything happens to him, I will strip you naked.

And hang you by the balls from the watchtower.

Open the door.

Now!

It was never meant to be put out in the cold like that, Mr. Chambers.

I apologize.

We had a deal.

I fight, I go free.

No.

The deal was, you win, you go free.

I was drugged and you know it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Maybe next time you fight Boyka, you should pick a better corner man.

Fuck you.

There ain't gonna be a next time.

Listen to me, George.

It's very simple.

I make my money, you make your exit.

Fuck you.

Fuck me?

As you wish.

Enjoy the rest of your stay here, Mr. Chambers.

No drugs.

Not me.

Not Boyka.

We fight straight up.

Of course.

Look, George, keeping you here any longer is a bit of a hassle for me.

You're too visible.

All I want is one more fight.

One.

And Phil?

You don't have to worry about Phil.

What he is, money...

Money is not a factor.

Anything else I can do for you, Mr. Chambers?

Yeah.

I'm gonna need one more thing from you.

Come

on.

Come on.

George.

You know where this code comes from?

Because I hear it comes from a selfish asshole

who never does anything for anyone else.

Why?

Why do you think?

It's cold as a motherfucker around here.

You know, George, I saw the first fight.

I saw something in the first round.

Something in your eyes.

Before you started to look drunk.

Okay, cry.

What did you see?

What did you see, George?

Okay.

Maybe I underestimated the guy a little bit.

But I know how he fights now.

And that same stuff ain't gonna work on me a second time.

I'm gonna figure something out.

Maybe you need a little help.

Oh, and you gonna help me?

I'm no fighter, George.

But I was once trained how to hurt people.

I know a thing or two about grappling, military close combat, things you might

need in this type of fight.

You know what, Kroc?

Thanks.

But I'm okay.

This is all street fighting anyway, and that's where I'm from.

I just go home on his ass.

Besides, all that kickboxing and grappling stuff is overrated.

You ain't like a freight truck, buildin' the muscle.

Can't escape your fate, ain't scared to tussle.

I put the pressure on your offense, you can't advance.

I'm a pro, hit the bench, bro, you had your chance.

You can dance in the end zone at home, my skill.

If I ain't takin' all the weight, no one wishes to come back.

You out of line, you out of your mind, you out of time.

You know I had it, you know I need the money.

I'm just off this machine I have.

Beat me at my own game.

I'm gonna beat you at yours.

You get lifted by these plates, I'll bench it.

Now listen, George.

Man is like Pyramida, but upside down.

You cut his legs, Hitler kaput, finish.

Okay, how do we begin?

Now get on top of me.

Sorry, man, I'm just not attracted to you.

Maybe it's the beard.

You want to train or you want to joke?

And now I'm ready to eat, so if you're scared, get

out of here before you get beat or break it on.

Yeah, the heat is on, you better get your best at a plate or a deal.

Calculate the magnitude of the situation you're facing.

No time for pacing, there's no time for wasting.

This is a basic, a basic combo.

Punch.

I grab it.

I wrap it up.

Put it fresh.

See?

You see?

You know the old man is training the American.

Is that supposed to scare me?

He can learn any fucking thing he wants.

He's still not going to leave that ring alive.

Bring it on!

Bring it on!

Bring it on!

You can't stand the bounce.

Bring it on!

Bring it on!

You can't handle the heat.

Bring it on!

Hey, man, sorry.

No, it's okay.

Potato vodka.

For your health.

I make it in my toilet.

Nah, man, I'm a pass.

Of course, you are in training.

So what's up with the photograph?

She's beautiful, isn't she?

Who is she?

My niece.

She's almost 19 now.

She ever visit you here?

No.

Never.

Well, why not?

She doesn't know that I'm here, that I exist.

I never want her to come to this place.

Yeah, I was just wondering.

What happened?

How did you get yourself in this place?

When I was in the army, my younger brother,

he robbed party headquarters near our house.

It happened when I was home on leave.

He come home one day, and I see it in his eyes.

He tells me he just made a big mistake.

Your brother?

Yes.

Why the hell isn't he here instead of you?

Victor was brilliant.

He had a future and a wife.

A pregnant wife.

Me?

I was only a trained killer for Brezhnev.

So, you basically traded your life for his?

No.

I was given only four years for the robbery.

When I got here, they tried to drive me crazy.

So finally I decided to escape.

I tried twice, actually.

The second time, there was a fight.

The guard got killed.

I was also shot.

Paralyzed.

They put me here, in solitary.

The Soviets died.

You see, George?

I accepted my reality.

This is where I belong.

And this is where I will die.

I don't get your life.

It's Nikolai.

My name.

It's Nikolai.

And I know you don't get it.

I don't get it.

There's a dog with a head.

Now press on top of knee.

Press, George.

Harder.

If I press any harder, it's gonna break.

Good.

Maybe I start to feel the leg again.

You did it!

Chambers.

Chambers.

Chambers.

You are tripping.

Tonight, Tonight, I settle it forever.

I beat this man again, and there is no question.

I am the most complete fighter in the world.

Remember, George.

When fight is over, you need to live fast and look back.

Listen, Nikolai...

I'm glad that... No, shut up.

Stay in me for a fight.

Yeah, you're right.

I'll see you later, George.

Once again, I want to please welcome, former heavyweight

boxing champion of the world, George Iceman Chambers!

And now, let's welcome, our own undefeated heavyweight champion, Yuri Boyka!

Not

bad for first round, George.

But why you don't use me or me to compete?

I'm working on it.

Boyka, make him wait.

Remember, take his life.

Yeah.

Listen to me, George.

You must finish him or you will rot in this thinking hole for the rest of your life.

Like me.

Like me.

Like me.

Like me.

Go!

I am the champion.

Do you understand, George?

What are you waiting for?

The bell.

Take his life.

Let's do it!

You can't advance until you start a night.

Bring it on if you're ready to fight.

The second challenge.

I will test your balance.

You can't stand your放ce.

Relax and let it sound.

You can't handle the heat.

These cannibals will come for you.

Bring it on!

And knock them down in three weeks, before you can even think.

Bring it on!

And now on top of shoulder.

Look with history.

History.

Father.

Confessing your order is gonna work.

Kill you motherfucker!

You made the fortune.

Yeah.

Now I have a feeling that I will change.

Huh?

Congratulations, Mr. Chambers.

I'm out of here, right?

Yes, you are.

One moment.

What's this?

Your cut.

Listen, George, it was never my intention to make your stay here so unpleasant.

I'm sorry for that.

One more moment.

Do you mind if we take a photo together?

Me and you?

Not for me.

My nephew.

Big fan of yours.

Let me tell you something.

I'm not gonna forget what you did to me.

Ever.

And I will see you again.

That's my word.

But right now, I'd like to get the hell out of here.

Sure.
