_T°ny says... - Tony!

He's been driving me crazy!

I guess he does come on a little strong.

A little!

Guy can't keep his hands off me Lis!

Tori, it's not that bad! He is kinda' cute!

The only reason I'm still here is he's a good trainer.

If I could find someone half as good as him,

I'd be out of here.

Tori, don't screw up your title shot because of Tony.

I won't. I've worked way to hard for this.

Buster what the hell is that!

It's not the one I taught you.

Thank you!

Ladies, ladies.

How we doing today?

Training hard?

As a matter of fact, it's time for my roadwork.

Wait a minute! What's wrong with you?

You been avoiding me like the plague!

- Nothing. Let go of my arm! - Down! Look.

Your fight's in three weeks, I don't think you're ready yet.

- You don't, huh? - No, I don't!

As a matter of fact, that's what I'm here for.

When can we get together for some privates?

What kind'a privates?

Private work-out.

No distractions, just you and me.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Seriously, there's a few things I want you to work on,

strictly business. I promise.

O.k...How about tomorrow at three.

Sounds good, see you then.

Asshole.

Think he'll keep his promise?

He better.

What the hell is this?

Hey! What the fuck you call this!

Tommy. Tina. Give me those fucking gloves.

You know..

It's amazing you guys can get out' a bed in the morning

without me there to show you how!

I want you to left to right side to side...

your legs move... fucking use them! Okay.

Work you low kicks, alright.

And fire hands combinations, alright.

Just like that, alright.

Like this. Move. Move. Move.

You're gonna kill him!

Get the fuck off me!

Kick.

Looking good. Real good.

You really don't think Tori's ready?

She needs a little work, if you know what I mean.

By the way, you heard the latest?

No, tell me.

Rick's working with the no. 2 middleweight contender.

Jesus! Who gives a shit who he's working with?

Are you guys still keeping up on him?

Every chance we get.

Keep it up, you know how bad

I want to get that son-of-bitch into the ring.

Look...l don't give a damn what he's done before,

I knowl can kick his ass!

If we keep pushin, you'll get your chance.

That's all I count on.

Look, he may not want to fight me now,

but I guarantee it, he will.

What's this shit!

Here's a little message from Tony!

Tell Rick. If he wants this to stop, all he has to do is fight Tony.

If not, we'll see you soon!

Had enough!

Oh, Jesus! Not again.

- You guys alright? - Yea, we're o.k.

- How many were there? - Five. Where's Rick?

He's at some interview. He'll be back in a few hours.

He's gonna be pissed.

I'm a little messed up, but I still wanna train.

How about you, Dave?

I wanna train. Hell yea...l wanna train!

Cool, Let's go. Come on.

Hey Guys.

I can't tell you guys how sorry lam this keeps happening.

It's just getting out of hand.

Hey man it's not you fault.

Guy won't take no for an answer.

It's between him and I none of you should be involved.

We can take care of ourselves.

I know you can.

But do me this one favor...

try not to let them get to you

and don't fight unless it's absolutely necessary.

Why?

Why. Because you guys have a future in front of you.

I don't want any of you getting hurt.

Can you just do that one thing for me. Can you?

Alright. Let's get to work.

That's good. Real good I like that!

Yea, it feels good.

Okay. When you're with her go low to high...Okay.

Go low to high,

never give her a chance to get her bearings.

Never give her any breathing room.

Ok...like that...You got that!

Simple enough.

Are we done?

Yea, but I want you to stay and stretch a while. Okay.

You did good.

You did good up there.

What the hell are you doing?

Come on, when are you gonna stop playing these games?

I'm not playing any games, I'm just not interested.

You think you're too good for me,

is that what this is all about?

No. You're an asshole. That's what this is all about!

An asshole. You bitch!

Who do you think you are, talking to me like that!

That's it, that's it, I'm out of here.

Fine! Get the hell outta here. Who's gonna train you.

Where you gonna work out?

What happened?

What do you think happened?

Tony didn't keep his promise?

Good guess.

What are you gonna do now?

Well, I'm not going back there, that's for sure.

I guess I'll work out on my own until something better comes along.

New trainer...Shit!

You gonna be alright?

I'm fine.

It's gonna take a lot more than this to get me down.

What do you think...One more mile?

Very good. I think I can go two more!

Talk to you later.

Hi.

I couldn't help noticing your...shir1.

Are you a martial artist?

Something like that.

See, we already have something in common.

Hi...My name's Dirks, Ricky Dirks.

Lightweight champion, Ricky Dirks?

- In the flesh. - No way.

I'm Tori Davis, nice to meet you.

I've got this gym you can come check it out...

got some pretty good fighters.

To work out, you mean.

Whatever you like.

It's real relaxed, everyone's welcome.

I got this card.

Here you go.

Address is on back.

If I have time, I'll stop.

Hey, really look forward to it.

That's it. That's it. That's it, Bob!

Jab it. Jab his leg.

Don't just stand.

You have to use your hand a little more.

You're too good a boxer to rely only on your legs!

Alright. Back to work.

I was in the neighborhood.

I'm glad.

So what do you think?

It's great. I'm really impressed.

Doesn't look like much, but it works.

Come here. Let me show you something.

See this guy here.

That's Bobby James, no. 2 middle-weight contender.

This guys here is Dave. Dave Williams.

Wow. Very impressive.

He's fighting for the welter-weight title in less than a month.

Really? Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Why'd you retire?

You had a lot a good years left.

Well..when I started fighting, I set some goals.

And I retired because I reached them all.

Just like that?

Just like that.

Looks like you brought some workout stuff.

Well, to be totally honest,

I'm son of looking for a place to train.

What happened to the place you were training?

That's a long story.

The guy who ran the gym was a real jerk.

Don't tell me. Tony Minelli?

Yea. You know him?

I know him.

So you're looking for a place to work out?

Yep.

Look, let me show you the dressing room. Come on.

So...Let's see what you got.

Don't worry, I'll take it easy.

Okay, nice and easy.

You 'ready.

Jesus! You trying to kill me!

No, I just didn't tell you everything.

I guess not! What's the deal?

I got a title fight in three weeks and I don't have a trainer.

You want me to train you?

Yea, I do.

Why didn't you just say so! I love your talent!

Naw...l got it.

Come on, let's have a talk.

Fellas, fellas, What's going on?

Where the hell you been?

Gathering information.

Well?

You're not gonna like it.

What're you talking about? Tommy.

Guess who Rick's new fighter is?

Tori Davis.

The fuck you all looking at!

Why don't you guys go take a shower or something. Alright.

I know you're pissed. What do you want us to do?

Hun him, Tommy. You know how.

Children.

Rick Tony how are you feeling today.

Fantastic sir!

- Feel like working out today? - Yes sir!

Axe kick.

Axe kick high.

Fine. Did you get a look at him?

No. No. He went by me too fast.

I think we should call the police.

No! Just call Rick!

- Are you sure you're alright! - Yes, I'm alright.

Double up good good alright jab cross...jab cross...

jab cross hook...

Phone, you get on the bag!

Hello.

Stay with her 'til I get there, alright? Bye.

Tori.

Hi.

How is she?

Still a little shook up.

Thanks.

He'! , “OW you doing'?

I'm fine. Glad you're here, though.

Did you see his face?

He had a mask on.

It was Tony.

That's it, I'm gonna kill the son-of-bitch!

No Rick!

He's not worth it. Just let the police deal with him.

You called them yet?

We were waiting for you to get here.

O.k. Let me think about this for a second.

The police can't do anything, you didn't see his face.

Let him think he got away with something.

You think that's a good idea?

He's been messing with me...

for years. I want to handle this myself.

What if he tries again?

Don't worry he won't. He's using you to get to me.

Looks like it worked.

How much of this am I supposed to take?

Rick, he's always been scum.

Don't let what happened tonight bring you down to his level.

I should wait for him to hurt someone else?

You know, one of these days, you're gonna have to tell me

what this grudge is all about?

Not now, o.k.

I'm kinda sick of the whole thing.

Me too.

Just to be on the safe side, I'm gonna stay tonight.

You are, huh?

I'm on the couch.

Lean your head.

Set and move.

More hit..more hit.

Good morning!

Nice to see you losers up so early!

What do you want?

Just thought you want to tell me something.

You need a shower?

Good, that's good. Very funny.

Good morning, bitch.

Don't talk to her!

I got you, man. It's just a matter of time.

Got anything to say now?

Yea. You could use some mouthwash, too.

You are funny! Regular comedian!

We'll see who laughs last.

By the way, what you do last night, Ton?

Why Rick, I didn't know you cared!

I'll be hearing from you soon!

You're right about the pasta.

Where'd you learn to cook like this?

- I got tired of T.V. dinners. - Good point.

Tell me about you and Tony.

You wanna do that now?

Yea.

It's a long story.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's funny, we used to be friends.

You were friends?

Yea, a long time ago.

I've known him my whole life.

In fact, we started martial arts the same time.

We went to the same school.

I practiced and he practiced. We practiced very hard.

If you saw one of us, you knew the other was around.

But as we got older more good things would happen for me.

I felt bad for him, son of understood how he felt.

Sounds like jealously to me.

I don't know. Maybe.

One day in class, there was a confrontation.

Our instructor, Pelle, kicked him out.

He took it hard, figured we betrayed him.

He's been this way ever since.

What's he want from you now?

A fight. All he wants to do is fight me!

That's what this is all about!

Crazy, huh?

He won't take no for an answer.

Every chance he gets, he hassles my fighters.

And now, you.

Just outta curiosity, why not fight him?

Lots of reasons.

Mainly, 'cause it's a no win situation.

If I were to beat him,

you really think anything's gonna change?

I see what you mean.

Look...Can we talk about something else?

How about a roll?

What the hell are you looking at?

I've been waiting for you all day.

Look. I don't got time for this!

I'm not kidding, Denise I gotta lot of shit to do here!

I'm getting sick and tired of this shit!

Oh now you're sick and tired of this shit, huh?

It never used to be this way.

I need to come home and here this shit from you too!

I'm gonna tell you right now, don't piss me off tonight.

Rick.

In here.

Your dish is ready.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

I don't know about you guys,

but I'm as ready for this fight as I've ever been.

Me too. I got a real good feeling

ever since I started training with you guys and Rick.

You know what?,

there's gonna be a few new champions around here in

a couple weeks!

I'm not in the mood for this. Stay cool.

Let's not wasted any time.

You know why we're here.

Look...We don't want any trouble.

Why don't you just chill out?

Get up, and do something about it!

Yea...Just leave!

You don't get it do you!

This'll be the last time you pull this shit!

There you go!

Good luck in your fight! Champ!

Take that back to Rick!

Dave! You alright?

Fucker broke my hand!

I'm gonna kill that son-of-bitch!

Hello.

What!

I'll be right over!

This is my fault.

No it isn't. Minelli did this to me, not you.

I can't take this anymore.

What are you gonna do?

Fight.

Do it man! Kick his ass!

I can't believe you're giving in.

I'm sorry he did this to you Dave,

but it's not a reason to give him what he wants!

If I don't do something, this will never stop!

You said it yourself, it'll probably never stop!

No. I can't just stand by and watch anymore.

This macho bullshit makes me sick!

You know that's not what I'm about!

I didn't think it was.

Maybe I was wrong.

Tommy...let him go!

I should kill you now for what you did.

Do it, Rick. Come on.

I will, don't worry.

- Come by for a reason? - You know why I'm here.

Alright then. Let's go over the rules. Okay.

There are none. No ref, nothing illegal.

Fights over when you can't stand simple enough!

When?

Two weeks from tonight.

Fine with me.

Oh...say hi to Tori for me!

Tori, it's Rick.

I know you're not real happy with me right now,

but this is something I have to do.

You have a fight in less than a week

and we need to get you ready.

Please call when you get this message. Okay.

Bye.

Hey...how's it goin!

That message you left disturbed me.

What's so important I gotta come out here in the middle of the night?

I'm gonna fight Tony.

Oh his terms?

Yea.

You want my honest opinion?

I know what your opinion is!

Then Why'd you call me?

I need your help.

I can't go for this.

I can't watch two of my students try to kill each other.

Pelle, he's out of control!

The other day he broke my best fighters hand,

just to get to me!

I got no choice.

We have choices in life, Rick.

You know me. I wouldn't do this if I didn't have to.

He's a street fighter, I'm a ring fighter.

I can't beat him without your help! Sir.

This goes beyond what we believe in.

So does Tony.

Is that mean you'll help me?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't know what to think.

Do you trust Rick?

Of course I do.

Do you also see that Tony isn't gonna just go away?

Yea, but I don't think a fight to the death is the answer!

Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

I think, it's some kinda macho thing between them.

Tony's been calling me.

You're kidding.

Three times this week.

Don't even talk to him, Lis. Promise me!

I'm not stupid.

Promise me.

I promise.

Some things I want you to remember.

Tony's despised you for a long time.

Believe it or not, that's his advantage.

He's had a fire burning in him,

for some reasons, you always felt a little sorry things turned out the way they did.

There's a fire in me too, Pel.

Don't worry about that.

Something else.

You have a code of ethics, Tony doesn't.

You've always fought by rules, he has no rules.

I can do that.

You're gonna have to.

He got his experience on the street.

He'll try and hit you in the most vital parts of your body.

You have to forget the ring fighting get down on his level.

You know, you'll be ready for this fight.

Yea.

I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I still don't like it.

But whatever you decide I'll still love you.

I love you, too.

Come in.

How' have you been?

Fine.

Why don't you sit?

I hope you hungry, lam making dinner.

I didn't come here to eat!

Tony, Tony don't.

Tony you're scaring me. Stop it.

Stop.

Tony!

Tony!

Hello...Lisa.

What's wrong, calm down!

Shit! We'll be right over.

No you stay here!

You're not gonna believe this!

Tony raped Lisa.

Oh no.

She's finally asleep.

I don't know why she let him in the house.

I'm not surprised.

He's always been able to fool women.

How is she?

He slapped her around a bit, other than that she's o.k.

- She gonna press charges? - No way!

Whatever he said scared her too much.

She won't even tell me.

Where is he?

Who you looking for?

You can't be that stupid.

What you say!

Fuck it!

Tell Tony I'll be back.

Hope this is important.

It is. Guess who kicked the shit out of everyone we know?

Oh yea? Good.

Good for him.

He's losing it Tommy. I told you he would

Mr. self-control did something 'cause it felt good!

I thought you were gonna be all pissed off!

Why? He's mine, don't you see?

I guess. But he may be more read for you now.

So what are you saying Tommy?

That he can beat me that he can beat Tony!

Nothin! You're gonna destroy the fucker!

Damn right I am.

Look may be good in the ring. I'm giving him that. Alright.

But let's see what he can do against

someone who wants to rip his head out!

We'll see how good he is then! Won't we?

It's really important you forget about

what's the going on.

The only thing on your mind should be this fight.

You have to stay focused.

Physically,

I have all the confidence in the world in you.

With all that's happened,

I'm worried about your mental state.

Don't worry about that.

Believe me the only thing that matters is winning this fight,

everything else can wait till tomorrow.

Alright then.

Let's do a little light sparring.

We only have two days.

You know, that was good advice you gave Tori today...

You should listen to it yourself.

Yes.

What's that mean?

Means you're taking the weight of the world on your shoulders.

I know Tori fights tomorrow, and you're a part of that.

But whether she wins or loses,

I want you focused on this and only this.

Fair enough?

That's fair enough?

We have to take care of business...let's go.

Speed and power

is what it takes for you to beat Tony.

You were always much faster than him..

Timing... comb your hair for a second.

Again, comb it.

Good that's it.

Now speed.

Good.

Watch out for that.

Now if I happen to hit you in the leg,

so fast...and you feel the pain, you attack and grab my neck.

Hey Tori. How you doing?

Fine. How are you doing?

Good. What you doing?

I'm trying to relax actually!

Don't worry about it, trust me.

How your workouts going with Pelle?

There definitely different.

What do you a mean?

It's just I'm not really used to this kind of training, no big deal.

You know.. I'm gonna take a shower.

Mind if I join you?

I don't know! Fight night'n all!

Oh shut up! It'll relax me!

Oh really!

Ladies and gentlemen, in the blue corner,

weighing in at 110 pounds. Kathy brown.

In the red corner,

weighing in at 100 pounds, Tori Davis.

Tori, get her, Tori.

Move..left.. right.

Jab cross.

Don't forget to use the jab.

You gonna move..left to right.

Go get her, come on.

1,2,a,4,5

e,7,a,9,10 over.

Rick.

Pelle...Why don't you come in?

No, thanks.

I just wanted to say that Tori did a terrific job.

Good job.

Great. I got her three weeks ago.

Believe me, I had very little to do with it.

No. No, that's not true.

You have a positive effect on people Rick.

You need to give yourself more credit.

Maybe.

Now let's concentrate on your fight, ok Rick?

I found out today he's in hiding.

Don't believe it.

I know the way he thinks, the way he moves.

And that's what really bothers me.

Alright. You trying to scare me?

No Rick. I'm to Prepare you.

You know why I kicked him out all those years ago?

Yea, because he started a fight in class.

It's a martial arts class Rick, fights happen.

But why then?

Tony's bad news. He's done awful things.

I've been watching him for many years now.

The last fight with you is last straw.

How come you never told me this before?

I'm very disappointed at him.

If I'd stuck with him a little longer.

I don't know, maybe he wouldn't have turned out this way.

Pel! You can't blame yourself. He made his choice.

Maybe you're right. Just remember this.

While we're talking, he's preparing way to kill you.

He has no conscience whatsoever.

You're right, Pel.

Have a good party.

Tell Tori Congratulation for me.

I'll tell her, thanks.

Drive careful.

I went to far, huh! I went to fucking far?

Let me tell you something, Tommy. He ain't seen nothing yet.

What are you gonna do?

You'll see.

Until then, I want you and the boys all over them.

You understand! Do not let up!

Everything you said.

Good turn.

The power's coming together. That's it.

Perfect. Again...Perfect...l feel it...

Again.

What is this?

What is this?

We're actually training.

We're testing out the power of this gentlemen here.

I've been coaching for twenty years,

and I've seen much better athletes than this.

I'll tell you what...

why don't you take the shield and get hit.

Better yet, have your men come over here.

Oh yea.

Come here.

Let's see what you got!

Let them stand behind you.

Time to get you asses kicked fellas!

- Oh shit! - My God!

Tell me where he is!

Now!

I don't know what you're talking about!

Tell me where he is, or I swear to God I'll kill you!

Couple of the guys are shook up pretty bad.

There's only one way to stop this, Pel.

I'm gonna have to kill him.

Do it outside the ring, and you go to jail for sure.

You agree with me?

Either way, you're meeting him on his terms.

You told me once, "you always have choices."

Not this time.

You may be right.

Choice like that, you gotta make yourself.

Come on, Tony.

Shit. Oh! my God, Tony.

How you doing?

Never better.

Think it's finally over?

I hope so.

Hi. Come in.

How you doing Rick?

A little sore. Not to bad.

- I've been thinkin. - Yea?

I've been thinking you better watch yourself for the next couple a days.

What you mean?

Not only did you beat him, you beat him at his own game.

In front of all his guys!

Yea. It's been bugging me too.

Just do me a favor, huh?

Don't walk down any dark alleys!

I'll be alright, don't worry.

L gotta g0-

Take care.

Yea, you too.

Wait!

Why didn't you kill him when you had the chance.

I guess I'm just not like him.

Take care, Pel.

Pelle!

I want you to do something for me.

One last favor.

Anything!

Let the law handle this... there's been too much.

No!

Two years have passed any you two

have recognition around the nation

as the greatest fighters around... the youngest fighters around.

I am very proud to say that

you are my protege in the school...Rick.

Tony...you continue the hard work.

Today we practice with power and speed.

You understand.

How do you feel.

Good let's get to work.

Hit the shield hard, rock my body.

Go.

Time.

How do you feel.

Terrific, Sir

Good.

Good. Shake hands.

Always stick together.

Yea.

Sad, isn't it?

You're going to jail for the rest of your life.

I'd think twice before I told the cops anything!

Is that right!

Yea. That's fucking right!

As a matter of fact, I'd wait by the phone if I was you.

Tor.

Tori.

Tor.

Hey mother fucker...What's up!

You're sick, Tony!

You're gonna fry for what you did.

No I don't think so.

Matter of fact I got someone here you might want to talk to.

Rick?

TOr!

Got your attention now, asshole!

You hurt her in any way!

Save it Rick. You know why I got her.

And if you ever want to see her again,

better get your ass over here pretty quick!

Where are you?

You know where I'm at!

I'm tellin you now boy, better get your ass over here!

Your boyfriend's dead.

Second he gets here Tony's gonna kill him.

Still haven't figured out what I'm gonna do with you yet.

Don't you have anything to say!

Yes,I do.

You're the perfect definition of the lowest life from I've ever seen!

Calm down. Go soak your head or something!

Let me tell you something.

You know? I've been waiting for this day a long time.

What happened to you?

What is this blind vengeance!

You really wanna know!

You really want to know!

Ok. I'll tell you!

'Bout six years ago,

Pelle got a grant

from some bullshit government agency. Okay.

Lotta money.

He decided to give it to one of his students. Okay.

It was between me and someone else.

Guess who got it.

No one knew how much I... I couldn't saved my dad's business.

But he lost it.

Month later I found him dead in the garage.

He blow his head.

Doesn't matter.

It'll all be over soon enough.

Tony!

Here we go again! Rick.

Just you and me.

Why'd you kill him?

I don't know. He was there!

Come on. Let's put the guns down.

No. I like things the way they are.

Don't you want another crack at me?

I got another crack at you.

And on the count of three, I'm gonna blow your head off.

One.

Why are you doing this!

Two.

It really didn't have to be this way!

Fuck it! Three!
