Original subtitles

r slept in there.

Two-and-a-half years of that.

And when I got out,

the last thing I was thinking about was fighting.

And yeah, I ran.

When I met Luci, my wife,

she didn't know me as a fighter,

she didn't know me as a... As a convict.

She loved me for me.

Didn't care about glory or any other reason, just me.

I'm a dad now.

Daughter.

Another one on the way.

I reckon I'd like a son.

I took this fight for money.

No other reason, just money.

I figure I could sell whatever was left of my legacy,

just to...

Just to get my family ahead, you know?

Just to buy some time, Sam.

Time's not a commodity like that.

You have moments and memories.

If you don't take the moment, you don't get the memory.

You're using Rose, Pat.

She loves you.

I mean, she has since she was a kid.

And if you have grown as a man, like you say,

you know that and you shouldn't be here.

WOMAN: After an extensive review,

the competition committee has decided to suspend you for six months,

fine you $75,000, and strip you of your title.

Are you outta your fucking mind?

XAVIER: Feels like I'm on trial for murder.

Feels like you've already been convicted.

We will be appealing this.

It won't change anything.

What about my fight with Patton James?

As of today, it's canceled.

You won't be fighting in any One Championship events

until your suspension is served.

This is a professional sport.

We don't condone and/or tolerate dirty fighters

and unnecessary violence.

He's the one that brings all the money to this fucking organization.

How about you show some respect?

Looks like we're done. (SIGHS)

Let's go.

(SIGHS) Oh, fuck.

All right, get the fuck outta here, you guys.

ROSE: Come on, Pat!

There he is. Come on, yes!

Cover up.

Yes, Patty, set it up, set it up!

Feint and then low. Circle, circle.

Push in. Push in!

Off the fence. Off the fence!

Cover up!

Get up, Pat, come on!

Tap!

Fuck! (PANTS)

Good, Patty, good. Thirty more, let's go.

Keep that pace.

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm.

Nice, Patty. Nice. Keep working through it. Breathe.

Breathe.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pat.

(XAVIER SCOFFS AND LAUGHS)

Oh, wow.

Patton James,

the man and the myth.

What the hell are you doing here?

Hey, how you doing, everyone? Nice to see you.

Hey, how are ya?

Yeah. So, uh, slight change in plans.

Do you mind if we have a quick business chat?

We can chat in front of the team.

What kind of change?

I've been suspended by the competition committee.

We're working very hard to get the, the ruling overturned,

but in the meantime,

we just need to change the venue.

You two flew all the way out here to what?

To pitch me this bullshit.

You want a, what, you want a smoker fight?

Yeah, well, what difference does it make?

A fight is a fight.

It's gonna be the same rules, Patton.

Except it's not under the One-banner Championship,

which is to our advantage in many ways.

That's not what I signed up for.

(CHUCKLES) Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, come on, Patton.

We all want this fight to happen, right?

-Listen, Patton, buddy. -Ha!

What? Huh?

If you can't make the fight,

One Championship, you still have to pay me.

You're really gonna be a motherfucker

who hides behind the contract, huh?

Hey, yo, let me, uh, let me ask you something,

man-to-man.

What kind of pussy bitch are you?

I'm the kind of pussy bitch

that knocked your ass out in six seconds.

You remember that, cunt?

-Yeah? -Yeah.

I bet you cling to that moment

like it was the greatest memory of your life, huh?

Nah, not really.

(CHUCKLES)

Welcome back, Patton.

I see you.

Yeah.

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

MADDIE: Mom, which do you like more,

sunset or sunrise?

Sunrise.

Really?

PATTON: Sushi delivery for a... For a Maddie James!

Did a Maddie James order sushi?

-MADDIE: Daddy! -Hi, baby.

You have a good day at school?

-MADDIE: Yeah. -I got your favorite sushi.

It's over.

What is?

The fight.

There's a breach in contract. It's not happening.

You sure?

Positive.

So sorry I lied to you.

Won't happen again, I promise.

It better not.

Promise.

(LUCIANA SIGHS)

What about the money that they paid you?

It's ours.

And more.

Can I have my wife back now, please?

Please.

(LUCIANA SIGHS)

Yes! (CLAPS)

Now get ready to bounce to the top!

Yeah! Bend your knees!

Look forward.

-Pitch that! -Oh!

-MADDIE: Not there. -(PATTON CHUCKLES)

PATTON: Oh, what?

What was that?

Hey!

I didn't come to fight.

How you doing? You okay?

You can get lost.

It's all right, we all get lost.

You don't fucking get it.

You can get lost on this track.

What do you mean?

You don't fuckin' hear me? I just said it.

I run this 'cause at least I know deep down I know it.

It's right there, and then I'm...

And then what?

Then it's up there, and... (CHUCKLES)

-You need help. -(SCOFFS)

Yeah. It's a good idea.

-Hey, Mal! Come on. -Too late for that, mate.

(MALON CHUCKLES)

Maddie wants her uncle to come to her birthday party.

Please.

She's your niece. You don't even know her.

Nah, I know her.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

Nadine showed me a photo.

She's cute.

I'm teaching her to surf,

down Southend where I taught you.

Fuck, you were good at it.

She's just like you, she's goofy foot.

Won't let me tell her what to do.

Wants to learn it all herself.

I'm sorry I walked away from you.

I am.

What time?

Five o'clock, Monday.

MALON: Fuckin' dog.

(GENTLE UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Daddy, is Uncle Malon coming?

Yeah, he'll be here, baby, I promise you.

(CAR HORN HONKING)

-Oh! Who could that be right now? -(DOG BARKING)

(CAR DOORS OPEN, CLOSE)

Hey, you guys.

-(CHUCKLES) Hey, bro. -Hey, mate.

-Hey, Luce! -Hey.

Hey.

-PATTON: Thanks for coming. -Thanks for having us.

-Okay. -MALON: Maddie?

-Hi! -Hey.

-NADINE: Hi. -Nice to see ya.

Love your hat.

MALON: Happy birthday.

This is for you.

-Aw! -And I bought some things

in an arcade for ya.

-Which one do you want? -This one.

Okay, you want that one.

-Thank you. -Want one?

-Want one? -You like this?

-Beautiful, huh? -Thank you, Uncle.

(MALON AND PATTON LAUGHING)

PATTON: Hey.

-(MALON GROANS) -Oh!

Got something on.

-Can't stay. Sorry. -What do you mean you can't stay?

-Where you going? -You'll see. Told you.

PATTON: What the hell you talking about?

Keep an eye on the news!

-About to be famous. -What are you doing, mate?

-What the fuck you talking about? -I'm all good, brother.

Just got some things I gotta take care of.

It's gonna be a great night. We'll talk tomorrow, hey?

Malon! Hey!

Go back to your daughter's birthday.

What the hell are you talking about?

(ENGINE STARTS)

-It's a surprise. -What is?

-Hey, what's a surprise? -It's a big surprise.

What's a big surprise, man?

I love you, bro.

Who's this one from?

Uncle Malon.

(GASPS)

Daddy!

I'm rich!

Nadine, what's going on?

Nadine, did you know about this?

Huh?

Hey, where the hell did he get the money?

He's not meant to fight.

The doctor said he needs to wait five months

because of his swelling.

He won't fucking listen, Pat,

and he gave him cash, so he said yes.

(SNIFFLES) He's gonna fight Xavier again.

-Hey. -Yeah, just here.

-When? -Tonight.

Tonight?

NADINE: It's $10,000 a ticket.

PATTON: Where? Nadine, where the hell is he fighting?

Tell me!

(CAR ENGINE REVVING)

(CROWD CHEERING, CHATTERING)

What's up, brother?

Let's fuckin' go!

Come on!

Xavier! Yeah!

(MALON GRUNTING)

This fucking guy.

Hey, don't end this too quickly, okay?

Carry him for a while.

I mean, give these people a show.

They paid enough money for it.

And when you do end it,

you should do one of those spinning kicks you do.

-(SCOFFS) Spinning kicks, huh? -Hmm.

-Oh, that shit will go viral. -Fuck, yeah.

Press him. Press him, Malon, press him!

-Good shot. Good boy! -MAN: Come on!

XAVIER: Is that all you got? Come on, man.

BARRY: Keep going, mate, keep at him.

MAN 2: (LAUGHS) Beautiful, Xavier!

-Come on. -Get up! Get up!

-Get up! -Find your feet,

Malon, find your feet!

Hit him.

Hit him!

WOMAN 1: Go, Xavier!

Come on!

Get after him!

WOMAN 2: Think, Malon!

MAN: Malon!

-Nice, mate, nice. -Come on, man.

You can take it.

BARRY: On your toes, mate, get on your toes!

Oh, man!

-Come on! -Hands up, mate, hands up!

Xavier!

TRAINER: Wrap him up!

Good job, Malon, get on him! Get on him!

Keep it on the feet, son!

Malon!

Mate, come on, Malon!

Kick him!

BARRY: Come on, Malon! Bite down, bite down!

Keep his head up!

BARRY: All right, mate, well done! You got him! You got him!

You got him!

Is that all you got, Malon. Come on, Malon.

Good. Good.

-Yeah? (CHUCKLES) -Come on, Malon!

MAN: You get him, Xavier!

MAN 1: Okay, let's finish it off.

Come on, Malon. Is that all you got? Come on!

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Press him, Malon, press him!

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

Stay behind me.

-Just leave it to me. -I got you, Pat.

Hey, boys. Hey, boys, we're running a bit late.

I'm here to meet Barry.

-Mate, it's a private event. -Yeah, fuck off!

-I'm a friend of Barry's. -Fuck off!

-My brother's fighting. -Oi! You're not getting...

Hey!

Hey, hey!

-NEAL: Fuck wit. Fuck wit! -Neal!

Fuckin' ass.

I thought you said you couldn't fight?

Well, I said I don't like fighting.

It's different.

Sometimes you gotta fight, right?

Yeah, sometimes you gotta fight.

(CROWD YELLING)

Let's go! Let's go!

(MALON YELLS)

-Come on, come on! -Get up!

Get up, Malon. Come on.

It's all over. It's all over.

-Get up! -MAN: Get up, Mal.

XAVIER: Yeah.

Come on, lad, get after him!

Malon! Malon, stop!

(MALON GASPING AND GROANING)

Move, move! Stop!

Fuck!

-Move! Malon! -(GASPS)

Malon! It's okay, it's okay.

(MUFFLED) Help!

I'll see you soon.

Toni Lee.

Chatri sends his condolences.

Sorry, he couldn't make it.

Yeah, he rang to explain. Thank you.

Malon was a great fighter. He was a good man.

He was well respected in the One Championship community,

and so are you.

We have to have a talk.

(INAUDIBLE)

What was all that about?

Hmm, nothing.

XAVIER: Let's go.

LUCIANA: Patton, baby, hey, hey.

-(GASPING) -Patton!

-No! -Sweetie!

-(GASPING) -Hey, Patton, breathe!

-Breathe! Breathe! -(PANTING)

Patton, baby, breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe! Breathe.

-I saw him. -What?

I can't.

(BOTTLES CLATTERING)

MAN: Let's talk about your unsanctioned fight

with Malon James.

Some people say you're responsible.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, wait.

Let me explain something to you.

See, Malon James, he was a fighter.

He wanted a rematch, he signed a medical waiver,

and he knew it was an unsanctioned fight.

We both did.

MAN: Do you have any remorse?

Of course I do.

He wasn't supposed to die.

But if you're looking for someone to blame,

then you point the finger at his pussy-ass brother.

MAN: Oh, you are of course talking about Patton James.

XAVIER: Yeah, Patton James.

You had your little brother step in for you,

and he just got out of the hospital.

You shoulda manned up and taken that fight.

That fight was meant for you.

(ECHOING) For you. For you.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(LUCIANA SIGHS)

(SIGHS) I always thought this whole fighting thing

is so stupid.

People making money off of violence and pain.

I don't get it.

But I can't watch you like this.

I'm trying so hard.

I know.

Malon made his own decisions.

He fought because I didn't.

It should have been me.

You're not responsible.

You're not.

(SIGHS) I don't know what to do.

Yeah, you do.

I hate that it's your only way through this,

but it's who you are.

And I love you.

What are you saying?

Go do what you need to do.

Kick his ass.

And when you're done, you come back to us.

(LUCIANA SIGHS)

(CAR ENGINE RUMBLING)

She was 13 years old

before I let Rose in here to watch me work.

Not that I was protecting her,

I thought she'd get hurt or anything.

I just knew from the moment she set foot in this ring,

no matter how long or short her career as a fighter was,

sooner or later she'd end up in one of the corners

with a towel over her shoulder, just like her old man.

Like father, like daughter.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

And that would signify that my time was at an end.

She is a good trainer.

You couldn't do better.

(STICK TAPS)

She works her fighters hard.

You wanna know why?

Why?

So they can breathe.

Why do I need to breathe?

So you can think.

Why do I need to think?

So you can win.

I've turned down the advance.

Said no to a guaranteed payment.

One fight, no rematch, winner takes it all.

Rose starts with her fighters at 6:00 a.m.

(CLEARS THROAT) She expects four kilometers of roadwork

before you arrive to get strapped up.

Don't be late.

(SAMMY GRUNTING)

Hey!

I love you, Sammy.

Fuck off.

-(STICK TAPS) -(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

MITCH: Many years ago, Patton James was feared.

Arguably the most dangerous guy in all of MMA.

Xavier Grau is looking to finish some unfinished business

and at the same time try and restore his image,

after being stripped of his title by One Championship

for a vicious illegal hit.

BRIAN: Tonight, the warrior fights the general

and it is all about legacy.

MITCH: It's not just about the middleweight belt,

it's about Grau avenging his only loss,

and James avenging his brother.

Ladies and gentlemen!

This is the final event

of this evening!

"And it makes me happy like balloons that float."

ANNOUNCER: Up next... (CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

"Just then the moon began to drift slowly behind a cloud."

(PANTING)

ROSE: All right, Pat, it's time!

...all around the world,

we're live from the Impact Arena

in Bangkok, Thailand!

Here we go!

-(ENERGETIC UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING) -(PATTON YELLING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

BRIAN: Here comes Patton James.

For all of you out there who don't know who this is,

you're about to find out.

He has an incredible story. At one point...

-Come on, mate. -...he was the guy to beat

in the MMA world.

He earned a shot at the title,

but he landed himself in prison

and never got the chance until tonight.

ANNOUNCER: Introducing first,

he is the former number-one ranked middleweight MMA contender,

standing at 5'10" tall, weighing in at 203 pounds,

training out of Sammy's Gym and Rose's MMA,

holding an undefeated MMA record of 11 wins

and no losses,

with an incredible ten finishes,

-nine by knockout... -It's all right.

Representing Australia!

-(CROWD CHEERING) -(YELLS)

The General!

-Patton James! -(YELLS) Huh?

(CROWD CHEERING)

(SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

BRIAN: Patton James,

Xavier Grau for the second time

with more than a decade in between,

these bitter rivals will collide.

The wait is finally over.

Patton James out of retirement for the shot he never got.

This fight is all about redemption.

MITCH: No, this fight is about revenge.

ANNOUNCER: He is the former eight time

One Middleweight MMA World Champion.

-You fuckin'... -Fuckin' peanut.

-Dog!

ANNOUNCER: Representing the United States of America,

-Xavier, the Warrior... -(CROWD CHEERING)

Grau!

All right, gentlemen, we've been over the rules.

Protect yourself at all times. Follow my instructions.

We're gonna have a clean fight.

Touch gloves, if you wish.

BRIAN: Oh boy, they do not touch gloves.

That says it all, Mitch.

MITCH: Ah, here we go, Brian,

for the One Middleweight MMA Championship of the world.

We are here, live from the Impact Arena,

this is the world title match

-the world has been waiting for. -Come on, baby.

HERB: Ready? You ready?

-Let's do it. -(BELL CLANGS)

BRIAN: Fast and furious pain.

XAVIER: Fight back!

Bring your arm in.

Get outta there!

Come on, Patton! Get off the fence!

Shitbag. Come on.

Get outta there, Pat!

Come on, Patton, you gotta go sleep now, mate.

MAN: Patton, come on, mate, get outta there!

-Get out! -Get out, get out! Come on.

ROSE: Get him off you, Pat, come on!

Don't get in front of him, Pat!

Good, baby. Come on.

MITCH: The spinning wheel kick!

Stay center, champ!

Xavier Grau is the reason why.

He has 14 knockouts on his resume.

Ah, Grau pointing at the cut. A little bit of showboatin'.

ROSE: Got him down!

Nice. Nice!

That's it, Pat. That's it!

Move, Pat! Move!

Feel the base. Get that left leg up!

You can do it, baby.

You can do it!

Left leg! Left leg!

That's it, Patty, come on!

-MITCH: Incoming spinning elbow! -Come on, Patton!

Move!

BRIAN: Grau rolls through!

He attacks the legs.

MITCH: Oh, he's threatening the leg like

it's a knee-bar, Brian!

Come on, Patton!

MITCH: This kick sends Grau.

Big right-hander landed by James!

-You got him, mate. -Let's go, mate. Come on!

BARRY: Come on, come on.

Get off the fence!

-(BELL CLANGING) -HERB: Time!

Yeah!

MITCH: That's the end of the round. James is down.

-(EXHALES) -Big shots landed by Grau!

BRIAN: What incredible back and forth

in that round there, Mitch.

Whew, I need to take a breath. I need to think for a second.

That was fun.

You doing good out there. Is he tough?

Nah.

Come on, Patty, deep breaths.

(ROSE INHALES AND EXHALES SHARPLY)

That a boy.

-(BREATHES DEEPLY) -There he is.

-Use your breaths. -HERB: Seconds out.

All right, are you ready?

HERB: Off the stools. ROSE: Fuckin' smash it.

-Okay, go boys. -Let's go!

-(BELL CLANGS) -MITCH: Round two set

to get started here at the mighty Impact Arena

from Bangkok, Thailand.

We get set for the second round.

-And a beautiful sprawl and... -Fuck!

...defense coming from Grau.

The reverse position by Xavier Grau.

Big shots thrown by Grau.

-Nice. Nice. -Grau is back up to his feet!

Get him, baby.

BRIAN: Patton James lands a clean one-two!

Grau jumps on the back!

MITCH: Wow, what an athletic move there

from Xavier Grau to take the back.

(PATTON GROANS)

Grau rolls through, lookin' for the choke, Brian.

-Come on, Patton! -In a choke.

BRIAN: There it is! His choke is locked up!

Fuck you, bitch!

BRIAN: He is trapped.

Patton James can't fight the hands.

-He is gonna take a nap... -Don't do it, Pat.

-...if he does not tap. -Stay there!

MITCH: It is nearly impossible

to get out of a position like this.

(SOUND WARBLING)

Mmm-hmm. You've got this.

It's yours, brother.

Breathe. Breathe.

-HERB: Time! -(BELL CLANGS)

Get up! Up!

-He's out! -Get up!

He's out! He's out!

BRIAN: Xavier Grau thinks it's over!

-Patton James is out! -XAVIER: He's out! He's out!

-(PANTING) -Come on, Pat, get up!

Get up, get up!

Come on!

BRIAN: Can he continue fighting?

Get up!

-You can hear the crowd... -Get up!

(PATTON GRUNTING)

-Man! Back to the feet he goes. -Fuck me.

(PATTON GASPING)

SAMMY: Breathe. Breathe.

What's the fight plan?

Punch the cunt in the face.

Like father, like daughter.

(MUFFLED) Why do we get back up?

PATTON: Why do I need to breathe?

SAMMY: So you can think.

(MUFFLED) Why do we train so hard?

PATTON: Why do I need to think?

(MUFFLED) Patton, look at me!

SAMMY: So you can win.

(NORMAL) Why do we train so hard?

(PATTON INHALES SHARPLY)

(PANTING)

Okay?

You got this.

Do it for your brother.

HERB: Seconds out!

Off the stool!

-Fight! -(BELL CLANGS)

BRIAN: Round three set to get started

for our One Middleweight Championship of the world!

Grau flew through the air, explodes with the knees.

ROSE: Pat! I said don't get in front of him!

Don't let him kick, Pat!

Head down. Get down!

Get outta there, Pat!

-(MITCH YELLING) -Come on, baby!

ROSE: Get him off you!

-He's raining down on Patton! -Come on, mate.

ROSE: Grab his legs!

-MAN: Keep the leg. -Nice. Nice!

ROSE: Jab! Jab!

Whoo!

Find the angles, Pat, come on!

Go, Pat!

(PATTON GROANS)

What the fuck is that?

(PATTON GROANING)

Come on! The fuck? That was on purpose!

-Time! -What the fuck, man?

-No. No. -(CROWD BOOING)

-Which order? -(PATTON GROANING)

(CROWD CONTINUES BOOING)

You all right?

-Yeah, yeah, he's fine. -Can you see?

-I wasn't asking you. -Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

-You're good? -Yeah, yeah.

All right, I'm gonna give you one minute.

Okay.

ROSE: Jesus.

Fuck, Pat, can you even see?

No.

What do you... What do you wanna do?

Let's finish this.

Let's fuckin' go.

Sometimes you just gotta fight.

-Fuck, yeah! -ROSE: Let's go, Pat!

BRIAN: Patton has got to be compromised.

He's weathered a lot of big shot

and he's really showcased the heart of a true champion,

but what can he do against the insurmountable force

that is Xavier Grau?

Come on, baby!

(CHEERING)

BRIAN: He's digging for oil!

Big shot landed by James!

Come on, Pat! Come on! Mess with him!

-(XAVIER SCREAMS) -Grau looks hurt!

Wow, it looks like he broke his hand!

Yes, baby! Come on!

That's it, keep him in close!

Bam! Come on, that's it.

-Huge left hook! -Nice!

-That sends Grau... -Finish him!

Get him!

Get him, baby! Get him!

Come on!

Yes! Again!

Yes! Come on!

Oh! Boom!

BRIAN: Big shot, down goes Xavier Grau!

Boom! Fuckin' boom! (LAUGHS)

-Xavier Grau is down! -(BELL CLANGING)

And the crowd at Impact Arena has exploded!

What a moment. What a victory!

Patton James has done it!

(ECHOING) Done it. Done it!

Yeah! (LAUGHS)

Yeah!

Yeah!

Wow!

Wow! Yes! Yes, yes!

* They've seen him out dressed in my clothes *

* Patently unclear *

* If it's New York *

* Or New Year *

* God help the beast in me *

* The beast in me *
