Can a man ever atone for his sins?

Can he make up for all the bad things he's done?

If he does enough good deeds, will he be given the strength?

Will he be forgiven?

When his past finally catches up to him, will he have the courage to do what is

right?

What does it belong to?

Igor Arsanis.

He's got a few of these chop shops.

SF, Oakland.

They're legit body shops during the day.

You were here last night?

Yeah. Four guys. He's got three guys out stealing cars, so it could be more.

You sure your brother's in there?

He's in there.

You talk to Hugo Arsanis?

Yeah. He started waving a gun around.

And your brother's still in parole?

Yeah.

First car he steals, he gets caught, he goes back to prison.

Let's do this.

Come on.

Come on.

It's your brother.

He came to visit us.

The fuck is that?

I don't know.

You wanted it?

Prove yourself.

Get in there.

Look at your brother.

You can choose.

How much money you got in the Nova, Philippe? You picked the wrong guy's car

to fuck with, asshole.

You need to get your brother out of here now.

Et viens.

Viens.

The fuck are you...

I

got some cops that I trained.

Any one of them would love to bust you.

It's gonna cost you to move.

What's it gonna cost me?

Don't bother the kid anymore.

Problem.

Kid's yours.

The path of least resistance has the most resistance for me.

The path of least resistance has the most resistance for me.

Keep it out, keep it down, keep it on an even key.

The path of least resistance has the most resistance for me.

I can feel my threshold expand.

i can feel my threshold expand bringing out

bringing out another side of me i can feel my threshold

expand

Okay, so this is yours if you take care of this guy, okay?

You just remember I'll be watching, okay?

Don't get the fuck out of my car, you stink.

Give me your wallet, Chinky.

I said give me your wallet!

You robbing me?

You owe me for those eggs.

I can't fucking breathe.

Who are your parents?

Get off me.

I said, what are your parents' names? Get the hell off of me.

Look, I know what it's like to be on the streets.

I run a youth community center down Mission Street.

No thanks, dude.

For all I know, you're another molester.

Three hots and a card is what I'm offering.

If you change your mind.

I'll take my chances on the streets.

Hey. Hey!

I swear I'm gonna miss this.

So, Mr. Tokyo Joe.

I heard you were checking out, huh?

Yep. You know what they say.

People to see...

Place is the gun.

Don't worry, Steve.

Plenty of convicts just waiting to take my place.

That's okay, Joe.

We know that you're gonna end up in a box one way or another.

Fuck you, Steve.

You're a fucking asshole.

Get the fuck out of here.

Go.

Fucking jerk-off.

How's

that

nursery school you run?

Why'd you call, Mike?

That's how much I'm losing every month.

It's this MMA crap.

I don't know that shit.

That's a lot of money.

Hey, what's so goddamn wrong with hitting each other with your fists like

civilized men?

Why you gotta roll around on the ground like freaking monkeys?

The answer is no.

How do you know what I'm gonna ask you?

I'm not training your guys, Mike.

I got a job.

You were my best fighter, Kenny.

Machine gun men.

Never liked that name.

Why is it some guys, as soon as they find something they're good at, they got

to throw it away?

You're going to save the world?

And they pay you peanuts?

And for what?

What do you get, good karma?

Not karma. Karma.

Karma, karma, my ass.

Tokyo Joe's going to kill you when he gets out.

No amount of good Jesus is going to change that.

Still got five years.

Anything can happen on the inside.

You want that something should happen to him while he's still inside?

What's going on, Mike?

It ain't five years, my friend. Joe's making parole.

Look. You come back to me, you train my guys, I'll pay you what you worked.

And I'll do that thing for you, too.

But to set that up, I gotta know right now.

No.

Ah, Jesus, Kenny.

You gonna kill yourself over guilt about something happened years ago?

Okay. You don't want to take care of Joe? Fine.

Have it your way.

But you take your wife and you start running.

And I hope you like fucking penguins, pal, because that's how far you're gonna

have to go.

Thanks for telling me, Mike.

Get the hell out of here, huh? You're giving me agit.

Hey, Kenny.

If I find out anything, I'll let you know.

Give me a goddamn answer.

Is that the letter you've been waiting for?

No. Just some new rules and regulations.

Red tape.

Is that what it really is?

You might as well let me see it.

Happy?

Why would I be happy about the center closing?

I'm sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

Why are you always walking away from me?

Let's talk about this.

What's this?

We didn't get the funding.

Santa's closing.

I know we work very hard.

But life has different plans for us.

And I'm ready.

Come in.

Jimbo.

They made it.

Yeah.

I thought I'd give it a shot.

Okay.

Jim, this is Eric and Jen.

They're the counselors here.

And I'm the director.

You work, eat, and sleep.

That's all there is.

You screw up, back out in the street.

Is that okay with you?

Okay. There's a car with your name on it.

Hey Eric, show him his quarters.

Come on, tough it out.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Time out, time out.

You okay, Jen?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Hey, where's the control, man? Man, it's not my fault.

She keeps putting her hands down.

What the hell are you looking at, crackhead?

That's what I thought.

Why don't you pick on someone your own size?

Oh my god, look, he's serious!

Let's go!

Eric, don't!

Wait.

Wait.

This is gonna be a massacre.

In a dogfight, sometimes it's the fighting the dog, not the training.

Sometimes, training does matter.

Get him some ice, Jen.

Hold still.

It's cold.

Grow up.

Just a few more minutes.

Keep your nose pinched.

Keep your head straight.

Yes, mommy.

I don't like that guy.

Who?

Ken?

No, Eric.

Yeah, him too.

He's just a hard ass.

Don't say that.

He put his neck up for me a couple years ago.

I'll come back.

Jimbo.

How's your face?

Getting better.

What can I do for you?

I want to do that.

Do what?

Come on, man.

You know what I'm talking about.

Don't make me work.

Hapkido. I want to do Hapkido.

Hapkido.

You sure?

Yeah.

It's hard work.

I can do it.

Commitment.

Committed here, right?

Follow orders.

Whatever you say, Ken.

Call me Sensei.

Sensei? No, no.

Quan what?

Never mind.

Ken will do.

Okay, Ken.

When do I start?

Get up, get up, get up!

Relax, man.

Jen told me you stuck your neck out for a while back.

What's that about?

Her parents were killed in a car accident.

She was out on the streets.

Doing what?

Is what she was doing in the past more important than what she's doing now?

My foster parents told me my parents died in a car accident.

Then one day they told me the truth.

That I was in the back seat crying.

And they were on the ground.

Dead.

You ever think about who killed him?

When I tried to mug you, you asked me my parents' names.

Why?

Kids on the street, they tell you what they think you want to hear.

Give you a soft story, tell your feelings.

Heard it many times before, you know?

My parents really were killed.

I never really knew how to feel about them being killed or who killed them or

anything like that.

Crack took care of that.

So because your parents were killed, you want to kill yourself with drugs?

I'm not planning on killing myself.

But drugs are guns.

I'm not afraid to die.

To die without a cause is a foolish death.

You sound like kung fu.

Okay, Mr. Walking Cliche.

Where'd you say you learned that? Some old monk in a temple in the mountains?

Actually, yeah.

I'll take you to meet him one day.

Yeah?

Yeah. What's the name of this old monk in the mountains?

Bob.

Bob!

How we doing, Jimbo?

You're gonna make it?

Yeah, I'm gonna make it.

You're late, Bruno.

What's late?

15 years?

You're a wise guy.

I know.

Did you do what I asked you to do? Of course I did.

Did you bite?

Like a pit bull and a fucking baby.

That's good.

Do me a favor.

What is it? Get me the fuck out of here.

It's good to see you, too.

Still did.

Hey.

I'm gonna introduce you to the man today.

That's what I'm talking about. Let's go make this money. No, no. Hey.

We got a couple little ground rules.

Number one, don't speak unless you're spoken to.

Hey. Hey.

Number two, man, don't embarrass me.

I don't want you to say anything. I don't want you to do anything.

And you just keep your mouth shut.

What? You got it?

Hey.

I think it's cat piss.

Great.

You take care now.

And foopsy too.

Bye bye.

Oh, what a crock of shit. You don't really believe this crap, do you, Joe?

Well, let's get down to business, shall we?

I very highly recommend it. Money is no object, as long as you tell me what I

need to know.

All my clients leave satisfied. All right, all right, come on, come on.

Look, you're so good.

What's my name?

Asshole.

Joe, that's not funny.

You have a serious problem with sleeping, so you take sleeping pills.

After a while, they don't work.

So you swallow some more, guzzle some alcohol, and you black out.

You wake up at some whore's house.

But you'd rather be sleeping with her little daughter instead. All right, now

that's a goddamn lie, you bitch. Sit down.

That's enough.

I'm pretty good.

I always wondered about him.

Now tell me what I need.

There's going to be a big battle soon.

Lots of money involved.

So should I bet big?

No balls, no babies.

But it comes with a price.

What price?

Either you.

Or someone close to you is going to die.

Give me your hand.

According to this, you should be dead.

At least three times.

That's true.

When I was a kid, I went through a plate glass window.

Survived. More recently in Solano, stabbed twice.

Still alive and kicking.

Third.

I don't know.

Everybody's gonna die sometime.

Ain't that right, Borden? That's right, Jim.

I'll be ready.

There is an obstacle between you and this payoff.

Someone from your past.

Now, a turncoat.

Yeah, I know it is.

And I'm working on it.

Bruno, pay her.

Hey, Joe. Yeah.

Joe. Yeah. So, can I have it?

Have what?

You know, the business when you're gone.

You impatient bastard.

I ain't dead yet. No, no, no. I know, I know.

It's just that she seems, it's like you said, she seems pretty good.

I'm just thinking, that's all.

Thinking about what?

Little girls?

No, shh. No, come on, Joe.

It's just that, you know, I've been taking care of the business while you've

been gone. Yeah.

and doing all the things you can't do, including, you know, taking care of all

the competition.

That's all I'm saying.

You look nervous, Bruno.

No. No? No.

You sure?

Yeah.

Bruno, I appreciate all of it.

And believe me, you'll be amply rewarded.

But let me reiterate what she said.

That me...

where people close to me are gonna die.

And that means you too, numbnuts.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

We better get going, Joe, or we're gonna be late.

You think? Yeah.

All right, let's get this party started!

What the hell, dude? Where's your man at? Hey, relax, Pete.

Could be here. Have a beer.

Man,

not bad.

Let's say you owe me a game.

Two bills.

Now you talking my language. Let's do this.

Name your game.

Hey, watch this.

Watch this.

Oh, shit!

What's up with that? He had some nerve damage in a fight a couple years ago.

Man, that cat can't feel a thing back there.

Oh, shit.

Damn.

He did it.

Come on.

Knock it off.

You idiots drive me insane.

All right, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Who is this?

I can see your speed.

Joe, the man as fast as a cheetah. He'll hit you ten times before he can blink.

Oh boy, I'd like to see that.

Can I trust him?

Joe, can you trust him?

Won't you try asking me? Why don't you shut the fuck up?

Tokyo Joe is talking here!

Can he be trusted?

We did a couple of jobs together, I mean, I... Rocky, why are you wasting

our time here? Do you trust him or don't you?

Yeah, yeah, I can vouch for him. All right, let's get down to business.

There's a big battle coming up.

Rio, Sato, gear up for that.

Can anybody fight?

Hell, I can fight.

You have to prove you can earn for me first.

That's what I'm talking about.

Let's do this.

Who's first?

That would be me.

Or not.

This guy got balls.

I didn't think this was Bruce Lee.

You shit?

I wasn't ready.

Ready now?

Yeah. Why don't you show me what you... Okay,

Speed.

You made your point.

Maybe we'll give you a chance.

Hold up.

What's my cut?

Alright. That was pretty good.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

What if I still got it?

Been a long time, Kenny.

What are you doing here, Joe?

So you've gone straight?

Yeah.

But that must have been hard for you while in prison.

So quick.

See?

That's what I miss most about you.

Your wit.

It's like cookie sales ain't going to.

All right, Joe. What do you want?

Let's see, where do I start?

Betrayal?

Turning me in?

Cutting yourself a deal?

Stealing my girlfriend?

15 years of my life in the hole?

I can't help you there.

Look at the time. Can I go now?

Leave them be.

This is just between you and me.

Oh, you gotta deal with me.

I'll take you. Me too.

How cool.

Loyalty.

Now there's something else here today.

I got a proposal.

Since your girl's here like a fight, there's a battle royale coming up. And

you guys are gonna have her.

No way.

Not a chance in hell.

If you win, $100,000 purse.

Community center stays open.

You walk away a hero.

Consider our little score settled.

Seems too good to be true.

What's the catch?

No catch.

Just show them the fight.

We'll settle our score the old-fashioned way.

And if we lose?

If you lose... You'll date with me, baby.

So what do you say, Kenny?

You don't seriously think I'm going to bring my kids to the fight?

Well, I'm dead serious.

Otherwise, there will be a barbecue at the community center.

Up in smoke.

Three weeks from the night, midnight.

Location to be announced.

Up in smoke.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

We're up shit creek now, guys.

You know we can take him.

You're crazy.

You are such a dick. I can take you on.

What kind of dumbass says that to a mob boss?

I guess I'm not afraid.

Yeah, of course you're not afraid.

Mister, I'll fight to the death.

Listen, man, I'm not finished living yet.

You just don't want to die a virgin.

Whatever, I'm just a volunteer.

Plus, I'm not some homeless crackhead like you.

Fuck you.

I'm gonna knock your fucking head off right now.

Try it. That's enough, you two.

This ain't the time.

So now what?

Train. But first, I gotta show you guys something.

George!

Machine gun!

Where you been, man?

You know, around.

Street cleaning.

Same old Ken.

You came to fight?

Hell no. Too old for that shit.

No, man. Never say that. Never too old. Just give me a reality check for the

kids.

Got something to prove.

More or less.

Alright.

Follow me.

Take it. Take it. Come on.

Next.

Next. Two.

Good to see you. Yeah, you too.

How you been?

Pretty good, pretty good. All right.

Anyway, this is the kid I was telling you about. This is Jim.

Jim, how you doing?

Armando.

Hey, it's me, Jim. All right. I want you to train him hard.

Almost done. Almost done.

Hey,

Kenny,

son. How you doing?

Hi, sir.

Good.

Jim.

Charles Gracie.

Ellie, since you can't stop pushing away, hold his arm. You snap over the

head. And you lay down next to him with the arm bar.

Nice. Excellent.

That's where we are. Pull his arm all the way up.

Step forward.

Go jump.

Boom. Yeah, get frozen here. Arm pulled. Lift him up.

Step over.

Just land.

Excellent.

I'm Eddie Bravo. I'm going to show you some 10th Planet techniques.

Which includes rubber guard, twister, and half guard.

Yeah, hold on everyone grab a partner Yeah, give me a dime on Cal

I don't care. Take them fucking pants out.

Yeah.

You said you were never going to fight again.

I have no choice.

There's always a choice.

You just always make the wrong one.

Maybe if you applied a little common sense once in a while...

You wouldn't be getting yourself into trouble again.

What about those kids?

Are you going to let them fight?

No.

Close the center.

That's my life.

What about our lives?

You know what I meant.

Those kids... I can't let them down.

What are you talking about?

The money's gone.

I've run out of resources.

It's me he wants.

I can still fight.

Joe,

you gotta let this go.

It's nice to see you too, Mimi.

I am serious.

Gengides.

Please.

Gengides.

What happened in the past is over.

Can't you just let this go? Let us be?

Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.

Ken and I have been working hard to get our lives together.

Yeah? He's come a long way. He's come so far.

And I've worked hard to help him become a better man.

You know I don't beg.

But Joe, I am begging you.

Amy, I can see how much Ken means to you.

But now, let's see how much you mean to him.

What? Boys.

No, what are you doing?

No!

Gently now.

She's an old friend.

Joe! Joe!

Joe!

You open to him?

Here he is.

The man of the hour.

I'll get you a drink.

No. I'm training.

That's the spirit.

Ken must be working you guys pretty hard.

Why do you keep fucking with us?

I'm not fucking with you.

I just wanted to make sure that you're sure you're on the right side.

Why wouldn't I be?

Well, I think it's kind of odd.

You'd want to be on the same side with the guy that killed your parents.

What?

Didn't Kent tell you?

I was there. I saw the whole thing.

He was the boss back then.

Pretty much the leader of the team.

I don't believe you.

You don't have to believe me, kid, but it was supposed to be a simple robbery.

But your mom, she wouldn't let go of the goddamn car.

Ken got pissed.

He shot her.

Bang!

Right in front of you.

Just a baby in the back seat.

And then he stood over her without a moment of regret.

I couldn't believe it.

I wanted to go to cops.

But he told me he killed me too. And then he killed your father.

Bang, bang.

While he was still holding your mom's body.

Fuck you.

You fucking piece of shit.

You killed him, Jim.

You got a rat.

It's that new kid you took in.

About six months ago, I lost Big to Joe.

I would have had to stop paying for Anita's little place. You know, that's

how bad it was.

But he told me he didn't want the money.

Just do me this favor instead, he says, and we'll be square.

He wanted me to find the kid.

He gave me the name, year of birth.

And I got hold of the adoption records.

I'm sorry, Kenny.

I didn't put it together.

That's okay, Mike.

It's a circle.

A circle?

What are you talking?

Don't hand me that crap.

There ain't no circles, Kenny. There ain't no karma.

There ain't no goddamn Santa Claus.

Are you listening to me?

You weren't the trigger man for that job.

You don't owe that kid nothing.

Whatever happens to me, Mike, promise me that you'll take care of Jim.

Only a fucking moron digs his own grave.

Even if he kills me, what you would do for me, you'd do for him.

No way. No fucking way!

Promise me.

Okay, sure.

Sure. I promise you.

Whatever happens.

And I promise you this, too.

I'll throw flowers on your fucking grave.

Jen.

I don't want to lose anyone.

This is not for you guys.

This is my fight.

Did you kill my parents?

Did you kill my parents?

I was there.

You want the truth?

I'll tell you the truth.

It's supposed to be a simple robbery.

Jacked the car.

But when the mom resisted, Tokyo JoJo snapped.

We panicked.

We fought.

I'm sorry, I should have told you this from the beginning.

But I don't know what to say.

You fucking liar.

Jim, no!

Wanna kill me?

Kill it!

Jim, no.

Please place your final bets for our first fight this evening.

Please remember, all bets must be placed against the active fighter.

Don't enter the game if you're not fighting.

Do not begin the conversation with your opponent first.

Any open payment will be dealt with directly by our host this evening, Mr.

Tokyo Joe.

Hey, I see you, Joe.

Son of a bitch.

On our first card tonight...

Randy Kelly versus Sonny Tsunami.

Ken, listen to me very carefully. They're trying to use me against you.

Don't... Give me that.

All right, listen.

Here's the deal.

You and your boys are going to roll over in the late rounds.

You do that, you and the woman walk away.

You don't, and nobody walks away.

You touch her, I'll fucking kill you, son of a bitch.

I thought I'd do the trick.

Listen, I'm gonna go get some beer.

You want any?

I got everything I need right here.

You want

me to handle this one now?

I got this.

Why you keep doubting?

Take the picture.

Send it.

You know, I've been doing a little thinking.

After all this madness is over,

let me say, me and you, you know, what do you think?

I think my husband, Ken, would have something to say to you about that.

Attitude. I like that.

But, you know what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking that before this night is over, even though you're not feeling me

right now, you'll be feeling me soon.

Now do me a favor.

Smile pretty for the camera.

Vanita Enterprises.

Vanita, it's Ken.

Let me talk to Mike.

Mike, they got Mimi, man.

If I was you, I'd look in the old bank on Townsend Street, in the basement.

That's probably where he's got her.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

The guy with the knife has the key. Be careful with him. He's crazy.

Okay.

I'll bring it back.

Okay.

Which one of you motherfuckers wants to die first?

Take him apart.

Leave me in peace.

The man wants to talk to you.

And if you know what's good for you, you're gonna want to hear what he has to

say. Put it away.

Put it away deep down inside.

Deep down inside, little doggy.

Now get your asses in line and follow me.

Come on.

Come on. Come on, little doggy.

Not bad, girlie.

Screw you.

Anytime, baby.

I got something to show you kids.

You like that?

You know I'm gonna kill you when this is over.

Don't worry.

You play ball, I'll let her go.

You're a fucking liar.

I killed my parents and I'm gonna kill you.

Whoa. One or dead, all's I gotta do is give the word.

Sturdy. She better be okay.

As long as you lose the next fight, after that, I'll be waiting for you,

Jimbo.

Bye bye.

Let's go.

Okay, you're all slashed up.

I'm fine.

I'm so sorry I got you into this.

It's okay.

Let's just get out of here.

You know I gotta do this thing.

I know.

Hey kid, listen to me.

I heard from Ken.

Mimi is safe and they're on their way here. You understand?

You don't have to take any more shit from this guy. You can win this fight.

Go ahead.

Take his hand.

Oh, speed.

Man, we had simple instructions, and now we're not getting paid.

Man, this partnership just ain't gonna work out.

Yeah, I got the picture working. You better run.

Because when I find you, I'm gonna rip out your liver. You did.

He doesn't get any of that.

Send Tony over.

Okay, I gotta go to jail.

Yeah.

Thank you.

And he's right behind you.

You mean that one, don't you, Joe?

No.

Shoot him.

Shoot at him.

And he's back.

Yo Joe, defend the machine gun men.

Hey Bill, I'll cover everything.

Take it all.

Hey Joe, should have stayed in the joint, pal.

You sure about this, Joe?

No, I've never been so sure about anything in my whole life.

Yeah, but you remember what that psychic bitch said, don't you?

Fuck that.

Psychic. I know. That's what I said. Fuck. I know.

That's what I said.

Whose side are you on right now?

Now you know I'm on your side.

Goddamn right you're on Joey's side.

It sounds funny.

Let's do a joke.

Look.

Hey. You look like you've been through a freaking meat grinder.

Thanks.

But if you still want me, I'm yours.

I owe you.

No, my friend, because I think your kids here need you more than me.

And besides, with Tokyo Joe out of the way, I'll make a killing.

That you will, my friend.

Don't worry about this mess. I'll take care of it We're gonna go

catch you around that you take care of my mom How are

you doing Jimbo

you're gonna make it

You're doing just fine.

And you too?

We're good.

Yeah, fine.

Let's get out of here.

Thank you.
